Gamers don’t just chase trophies; some find love along the way. In this updated list, we’re checking out the wives and girlfriends of Dota 2’s biggest names. They’re not only gorgeous but also killing it in their own careers, from streaming to running companies, all while supporting their partners through the highs and lows of pro esports.
So, who’s standing behind the legends of Dota 2?
The old stereotype that gamers can’t date attractive women is fading fast. Today’s Dota 2 stars prove that wrong in style. Not only are they champions in-game, but they’ve also built amazing relationships outside of it. Let’s take a look at some of the most talked-about couples in the scene.
Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen isn’t just a two-time TI champion and one of the most creative mids in Dota 2 history; he’s also a devoted husband and dad. His wife, Mawar Remy from Kuala Lumpur, has been by his side through every high and low, celebrating victories and pushing through defeats together.
Mawar is active on social media, often sharing sweet family moments with Topson and their daughter. She’s not afraid to speak up either. When critics tried to throw shade at OG after their TI wins, she publicly defended her husband, showing she’s every bit as fierce as the man in mid lane.
Tal “Fly” Aizik has been a staple in the Dota 2 scene for years, but his partner, Evany Chang, is just as legendary in her own right. Evany isn’t only known as Fly’s wife, she’s the co-founder and former CEO of OG, one of the most successful esports organizations in history.
Together, they’ve built a relationship shaped by the same passion that drives competitive gaming. Evany stays active on Instagram, where she shares life updates and snapshots with Fly, showing their balance of love, family, and esports. If Fly is the commander in-game, Evany is the mastermind outside of it, which makes them one of Dota’s most iconic power couples.
Artour “Arteezy” Babaev is one of the most famous Dota 2 players in the world, and he’s just as successful in his personal life. His longtime partner is Zhang “Dove” Tiang, a caster and content creator who’s made a name for herself in esports as well.
The two first connected through the Dota 2 scene, and their shared passion for the game turned into something much bigger. Dove is active online, posting cosplay, streaming, and sharing moments with their pets and Arteezy himself.
Fans love seeing her balance her own career while supporting one of Dota’s most iconic carries. Together, they make a couple that proves gaming really can bring people together, both in and out of the server.
David "MoonMeander" Tan may not be a current T1 star, but he's a beloved name in the Dota 2 community, and he's got a great story off the server, too. His wife, Steena Hoang, who started as his partner long before he hit the spotlight, stepped up in a big way when needed.
When MoonMeander built his own team, initially known as CR4ZY and later morphing into TSM FTX, Steena became the backbone of operations. She handles logistics, manages boot camps, and even tends to teammates’ personal issues. Also, she was more than a supportive partner; she helped run the team like a pro behind the scenes.
The Dota 2 scene isn’t just about the players – it’s also shaped by some incredible female talent on the broadcast desk. Jorien “Sheever” van der Heijden has long been the face of English-language Dota coverage, hosting countless Majors and The International itself.
Alongside her, Mira “Ephey” Riad has built a strong reputation as an analyst, bringing sharp insights to top-tier tournaments. Michelle “Moxxi” Song has carved her own path too, covering events around the world and championing the South American scene.
And while Sheepsticked moved away from the analyst desk, she remains a popular streamer and personality in the Dota community.
Yes, women are competing in Dota 2, and the scene is slowly but surely growing. While female esports is still developing compared to the men’s circuit, more tournaments, prize pools, and opportunities are appearing every year. It feels a lot like the early days of competitive Dota, where small events laid the groundwork for the global stage we see now.
One of the most notable names is Bi “Axx” Xia from China. Known on streaming platforms and in the competitive scene, she mainly plays pos-3 and even stood in for Team Newbee during professional tournaments. Her path has inspired more women to chase pro play.
In Brazil, another offlaner, Krol, made headlines as she tried out for the tier-3 squad STARS. She even played a few official matches, and for a moment, it looked like she would stay with the team. But after a roster shuffle, the new carry reportedly refused to play with a woman, and Krol was removed. Despite the setback, she remains known as a high-skill Immortal streamer who continues to inspire.
Behind every Dota 2 legend, there’s often someone special cheering them on. These stories remind us that esports isn’t just about grinding MMR; it’s also about love, support, and building lives around the game. And as more women get into Dota, both on the stage and behind the scenes, the future looks more exciting than ever.
