Rising to the top of Dota 2 is incredibly difficult, with literally millions of players from all over the world. In this article, we will look at the 5 best Dota 2 players in the world. You can see all of these gamers in action at this website!

1. Clement “Puppey” Ivanov

Clement “Puppey” Ivanov is the captain of Team Spirit. The Estonian is considered a Dota 2 legend and has been a pro since 2007 during his Dota 1 days. He has over $4 million in lifetime tournament winnings and amazingly is still crushing the biggest tournaments at the age of 32.

In the 2021 International, he led Team Secret to a 3rd place finish which was worth $3.6 million. And then, at the 2022 International, Team Secret went one better and came 2nd for $2.4 million. Expect Puppey to be ripping up tournaments in 2023 and lead Team Secret to another deep run at The International.

2. Zhang “y`” Yiping

Zhang “y`” Yiping is the leader of PSG.LGD, and, at just 24 years old, he already has $3.7 million in tournament winnings. He is known for his amazing understanding of Dota 2 and is a big reason why PSG.LGD has been so successful over the last few years.
Zhang “y`” Yiping won The International 2016 with Wings Gaming and then came 2nd at The International 2021 with PSG.LGD. He is the strongest player on the PSG.LGD, thanks to his incredible natural talent.

3. Wu “Sneyking” Jingjun

Wu “Sneyking” Jingjun is the captain of Tundra Esports and just led the team to victory at The International 2022. He has $2.2 million in earnings and has been a pro since 2012. His breakout performance at The International put the whole Dota 2 world on notice. The way Wu “Sneyking” Jingjun played against Team Secret in the final was nothing short of inspirational. We expect Wu “Sneyking” Jingjun to win a lot of big tournaments in the future.

4. Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi

Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi is a Swedish player who plays for Team Liquid and is the current captain of the powerful squad. He played incredibly well at The International 2022 and led his team to a 3rd place finish worth $1.7 million. Aydin “iNSaNiA” Sarkohi has made massive improvements over the last year, and we expect him to continue to get better during the 2023 pro Dota 2 season.

5. Anathan “ana” Pham

Dota 2 fans thought that Anathan “ana” Pham was retired. However, the young Australian made a comeback as a temporary stand-in for Team Liquid. He has an incredible $6 million in lifetime tournament earnings thanks mostly to his back-to-back winning performances at The International 2018 and 2019 with OG. After a break from competitive gaming, we don’t think it will take Anathan “ana” Pham long to regain his winning form.
