Stats according to Semrush

Now you have a little idea about which hero and players are going to make it to the last. Let’s see if you have guessed all of them right.

#1 Dendi and Pudge

<p>

What can I say about Dendi and Pudge? Probably, a better love story than twilight. Dendi and Pudge both the player and the hero are legendary for so many reasons, and then there’s the man who is known as the best pudge in the world. Dendi and Pudge is the most iconic Hero-Player duo in the history of Dota2.

His fountain hooks against Tongfu saved Na’Vi in The International. When Na’Vi met Tongfu in The International, Na’Vi was on the verge of losing, Tongfu had the control of the game and there was nothing Na’Vi could do to change the game. And then something happened, something that nobody has ever seen or done. Fountain Hooks.

Chen teleportation and Pudge’s Meat hook created a death hole for Tongfu. The synergy of the two spells was surely overpowered but not easy to execute. As Pudge lands his hook on any enemy, Chen teleports him back to the fountain which drags the hooked enemy along to the fountain. The bug was patched soon after the TI game but the Fans and the Dota community saw something they never thought was possible.

You have to be at the best of your hero to do things like that and who else can be better. His accuracy, game sense, timing, everything about his Pudge is spectacular. Pudge has an in-game accessory doll that looks like Dendi in Na’Vi jersey and it is Dendi, Valve created it to m ake his legacy immortal.

#2 Puppey and Chen

The other half of the Fountain hooks. Puppey and his Chen. Puppey is a legend in the world of Dota2 and his Chen is legendary. Arguably the best Chen player in the history of Dota2, many says its Akke but I think most fans will say it’s Puppey. Clement “Puppey” Ivanov, the TI winning support of Na’vi.

Puppey played for teams like Kingsurf and Nirvana but the team where he spent most of his prime was Natus Vincere. This is where Puppey became a legend, won the very first TI and played in the finals back to back 3 time. His Chen plays are considered the best Chen plays of all time.

#3 Miracle and Invoker

A lot of fan claims that he IS THE BEST Invoker in the world! Probably. There are other invoker players that play the hero as good but Miracle is the one who made so much impact in-game and on the community with his Invoker.

These are those “Next Level Plays”. Be it his sunstrike accuracy or his destructive combos, he is always on top of his game. Picking a Miracle Invoker even as a first pick is securing you 60% percent of that game, to be exact 59.67%. Yep, that’s his win rate on Invoker. However, 60% may not be the win rate you expected but his Invoker in the Pro Dota2 scene is equally feared and respected.

He has changed games multiple time with his skills. He has won games that nobody thought they can win. He is Miracle- one of the best Invoker players in the world if not the best, but best or not he has the most success with Invoker in competitive scene than any other player.

#4 Fy and Rubick

The best Rubick player in the world? I will let you guys decide that but definitely one of the best Rubick players of all time. Fy, known as FY GOD because of his plays.

Undoubtedly very skilled player who is known for his clutch plays, his Phoenix or his Tusk in the 2018 TI final was one of the best plays of the whole tournament. Fy is known for his heroics with Rubick, he is often called FY GOD because of his godlike plays.

Fy is a person who set the bar way too high when it comes to Rubick plays and he still manages to carry his legacy.

#5 Magnus and Ar1se

Ar1se the God of Magnus. We got nothing against s4 but let’s face it, Ar1se is the best Magnus in the world and the doubts have been cleared multiple times.

Ar1se may not be a huge name in the Pro scene at the moment but when it comes to Magnus his name will live forever. Some player just comes to play the game, plays a hero and change our thoughts about the hero forever.

He did just that with his Magnus. His heroic and clutch plays are something that’s praised by every dota fan and the dota community worldwide.

Special Mention - Suma1l and Storm Spirit. s4 and Puck. Universe and Faceless Void. Bulba and clockwork. Kuroky and Rubick.
