The case for N0tail (Johan Sundstein)
Johan Sundstein, captain and support known as N0tail, is the most successful figure in Dota 2 history and long held the record for the highest career prize earnings in all of esports, above $7M. As the leader and co-founder of OG, he did what no one had before: won back-to-back Internationals, at TI8 in 2018 and TI9 in 2019, the only captain to hoist the Aegis of Champions twice consecutively. The 2018 run was a fairytale, a reshuffled underdog roster toppling the favorites, and it made OG a legend of the game. A converted Heroes of Newerth pro, he was celebrated less for raw mechanics than for leadership, positivity and the ability to bind a team into a champion. His trophy haul and earnings, built on the sport's largest prize pools, place him at the very top of Dota's pantheon.
The case for ana (Anathan Pham)
Anathan Pham, the Australian carry known as ana, was the young star at the heart of OG's back-to-back Internationals, winning TI8 in 2018 and TI9 in 2019 alongside N0tail. Still a teenager for his first title, he was the mechanical engine of the underdog run that stunned the Dota world, famed for game-defining performances on signature heroes like Io, Ember Spirit and Spectre in the sport's biggest finals. Two Aegis wins on the largest stage, with prize earnings around $6M placing him among the top earners in all of esports, mark an extraordinarily concentrated peak. He stepped away from competition at a young age, but his impact is disproportionate to his short career: he proved that a carry could carry, quite literally, two world titles, and his highlight plays remain among the most celebrated in Dota 2 history.
