Fun fact: KuroKy is one of the highest-earning Dota 2 players, with a total of around $5.3 million.
Danil “Dendi” Ishutin
If there’s one legendary player that every Dota fan would instantly recognize, it’s Dendi. He’s an iconic midlaner and one of the oldest players still active. Although no longer in Tier 1, Dendi still plays as a midlaner and captain for his own team, B8, which he founded in 2020.
Previously, Dendi was part of Na’Vi (2009–2019) and won the first TI with Puppey. He also started his pro career in DotA in 2007.
Now, Dendi is 35 years old, and still actively playing. He is recorded as the only situs gacor online indonesia player to appear in six The Internationals with one organization. He also holds the record as the player with the most matches using the heroes Queen of Pain, Templar Assassin, and Pudge.
Marcus “Ace” Christensen
Although Ace is not as old as the previous names, he still deserves to be on the list. The Danish player started his career in 2012, and is known as a very solid carry.
Ace has played for many big teams such as:
MYM
Cloud9
Team Secret
NiP
Gaimin Gladiators
With Gaimin Gladiators, Ace was a key player who contributed greatly to the team’s dominance in 2023, where they won almost every major tournament.
Ace is now 31 years old and has earned almost $2 million throughout his career, most of which came in 2023.
Jingjun “Sneyking” Wu
The last player on this list is Sneyking, who despite being the youngest (currently 29 years old, soon to be 30), has a long experience in the professional world since 2012.
He used to play for:
Team Dignitas
Newbee
Tundra Esports
Team Falcons
He is currently still active with Team Falcons since November 2023, and helped the team win almost every tournament in 2024 (except The International and Riyadh Masters).
Sneyking plays as a support and has amassed a total earnings of around $3.15 million, making him one of the richest players on this list.
There are many other Dota 2 legends who are no longer active. Some, like xiao8, are now focused on coaching, while others like Iceiceice prefer to be streamers. However, all of the names on this list are still actively playing competitively, and you can still catch them in action to this day.
