TOP 10 DOTA BEST PLAYER (sekedar info saja)^0^

10. Jolie of Virtus.Pro

Coming in at the bottom of the list is VP's leader and main strategist.
Jolie has come up with many unique ways of shutting down Virtus'
opponents using certain tactics that other teams have started to copy.
Though Jolie does not take full credit for Virtus' strategies, he is
the main man behind them all. Normally the solo player for VP, Jolie
stays consistent with his farming, and also manages to keep up with
VP's aggressive ganks.



9. Hit0mi of eMazing Gaming

Andre has been the backbone of many teams in the history of
North American DotA. Having played on top teams such as JMC, x6, coL,
tPD and now eMg, Andre has experienced all types of play. Andre joined
eMg a few months ago to try to be at the top of the DotA scene once
again after going on a long vacation, and has already helped lead eMg
to place 3rd in the MYM 7 Prime Defending tournament. In a earlier
GotFrag article, he received recognition as the Best Individual
Performance for his Rhasta performance against Ks in Prime Defending.
This talent, combined with a vast knowledge of the game and clutch
in-game decisions makes him one of the top players in the world.



8. Hanni of Meet Your Makers

Hanni has been one of MYM's star players since the beginning,
even while playing under the Joy tag. With a talent for fulfilling just
about any role needed, Hanni plays any hero with ease. He is known as
one, if not the best solo player in the world with his aggressive
nature and powerful micro. In particular, his Viper, Tinker, and
Nevermore removed any doubt that he played the solo role on MYM to
perfection, despite those heroes being overshadowed by others in the
recent MYM pride.



7. LightOfHeaven of sP[Palit]

LightOfHeaven has been considered as the backbone of VP's
rival team in Russia, Say PLZ. His ability to farm and knowledge of
when to initiate and engage is amazing. He also helped lead the Russian
team to win the first ever MYM Prime Nations. LoH started off his fame
in PLZ by defeating many top teams such as compLexity and tPd in the
ESL series, using heroes such as Silencer and Viper to perfection. He
is also one of the pioneers of the Necronomicron build on Silencer,
among many other heroes.



6. Ars-Art of Virtus.Pro

Ars can be seen playing just about anything, ranging from
Stealth Assassin to Silencer under the name Jermain, but his forte is
ganking heroes. Famous for his innovative use of Pudge and aggressive
Lina, he is one of DotA's top assassins. He used to always be seen in
the shadow of teammates Vigoss and Jolie but has recently proven he
stands behind no one. Ars is able to dominate any lane with his overly
aggressive play style, and has mastered the art of ganking. He is often
considered the best one versus one player in the game currently,
meaning you don't to want to meet him in the river alone! He never
picks a fight he can't win, his hooks and stuns are always spot-on, and
his aggressive play style overwhelms even the most skilled players.
When ARS is at the top of his game, he can shutdown an entire team by
himself.



5. FearDarkness- Retired

The first American powerhouse, Fear has his roots in the IGS
days. At that time, he was nearly unmatched in terms of overall
gameplay and especially micro. This reputation would remain largely
true up until the end of his DotA career. His early accomplishments
were most notable with clan Plug, which would later become team
compLexity, arguably the best DotA team to have ever come out of the
United States at the time. This was backed by some impressive results:
compLexity took second place in Cal season 1 and first in Cal Season 2.
After the international DotA scene started to expand, Fear continued to
impress, such as ranking 1st in IHCS and continuing to bring compLexity
impressive victories in ESL and MYM Pride 4. Overall, he has created a
legacy that will not be forgotten. Some speculations on why he quit: It
has been said that he was going to focus more on school, others have
said that he started playing WoW. Now, yet another rumor has started
saying he may return someday, creating his own team to hopefully take
over the American DotA scene once again.



4. Loda of SK Gaming

The leader of the SK Gaming squad, Loda has helped SK make a name as
one of the top teams in the world. His role is usually on the solo /
carry hero, represented best by his amazing Shadow Fiend. He plays a
crucial role on the team, as Maelk once said in a video interview at
Dreamhack Summer 2007, if you shut down Loda, you shut down SK.
However, Loda distinguishes himself from most players by the fact that
he manages to outfarm everyone while still helping the rest of the team
gank. He is most famous for his solo Tiny and Faceless Void, proving
that a melee can solo and also dominate his opponent in the process.



3. Maelk of Meet Your Makers

Maelk has been a key factor behind MYM's success ever since
founding the team when it was still called Joy. He is the leader of MYM
on many fronts. He is MYM's main strategist, having surprised many
experienced teams more than once. For example, he was the mastermind
behind MYM's devastating push strat, defeating SK with it at Dreamhack.
In-game, who else plays the Chen leading the ganks? Maelk of course.
His leadership, knowledge of the game, and overall skill makes Maelk a
prime candidate in the top 10 players. Though he has been getting a few
complaints recently, there is no doubt that he has been one of the top
players in the world for quite some time.


2. Merlini of Meet Your Makers

Merlini has been with DotA for a long time, and has been long
regarded as one of the top American DotA players, if not the best. As
seen by his fearsome solo and some truely innovative jungling
abilities, Merlini is not the type of player you wish to be against.
His insane individual skill was first seen by many in his numerous IHL
replays. These replays contained a combination of incredible farming
and clutch moves. He was brought in with a warm welcome to the American
team JMC in Cal season 2 where he continued to show his solo dominance.
Following a minor retirement, he returned to show everyone that he
still had it as he joined MYM, where he still amazes today, notorious
for taking trilanes on all by himself.


1. Vigoss of Virtus.pro

It is no surprise that Vigoss has been called the best DotA player of
all time. He has been invaluable in winning Virtus.Pro back-to-back MYM
Pride tournament victories and much more. He has the uncanny ability to
roam around the map killing everything in sight and yet end with the
highest level. Even when he has a rough start, it's no surprise to see
him at the top of the scoreboard. In nearly every game, Vigoss is seen
leading the ganks which completely shut down the other team. Another
amazing aspect is that he can play any hero flawlessly. Whether it's
hitting near perfect arrows on PotM or his reckless Bounty Hunter, or
even his Witch Doctor, one thing is clear: Vigoss is here to stay and
to continue dominating the competition.
