Dendi, Puppey, N0tail

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov named three cybersportsmen he considers the best players in the history of Dota 2, putting the legendary Clement “Puppey” Ivanov in first place.

The streamer and former professional player shared his selection during a stream on Twitch.

"Most likely top 1 would be taken by Puppey. Top-2 would probably be n0tail. Top 3 - Danka (Dendi). Top 4 would be Miracle, possibly. But it's hard to go any further. Next are SumaiL, Matumba, JerAx, Somnus..."

NS noted that all of the cyber athletes he named have contributed immensely to the Dota 2 community and pro scene. In his opinion, the best is Puppey, who is considered by many to be one of the greatest players in the history of the game.

NS gave the second place to Johan “N0tail” Sundstein - two-time champion of The International and one of the most recognizable players of the pro scene. Third place went to Danil “Dendi” Ishutin, a true Dota 2 legend and a symbol of its early era.

Top 3 best players in Dota 2 history according to NS:

  • Clement “Puppey” Ivanov

  • Johan “N0tail” Sundstein

  • Danil “Dendi” Ishutin

NS also admitted that it is extremely difficult to form the list further - over the years of Dota 2 existence there have been many legendary players, but he does not undertake to put them in their places.

Let's remind that earlier Sebastian “Ceb” Debs raised the championship cup in another cybersport discipline.
