TOP-5 legendary SEA region players
What's inside
The history of eSports Dota 2 industry has almost 12 years. However, even in such a short period, absolute legends have appeared in the gaming community, achievements and matches. SEA region was frequently low-valued due to a lack of high-status and stable teams, except for Fnatic. Nevertheless, dozens of professionals appear in the present-day roster at TI11. So, below Cyber-sport.io will survey the most well-known among them.
Carlo "Kuku" Palad
Out Top-5 list is opened by Kuku, who recently became a millionaire. Carlo is an exciting and charismatic player, but his achievements are lower (by world standards). He won WESG and ESL One Summer, but he only went up to the top 8 at TI. Kuku is known for the racist scandal. Then Carlo received a ban from Valve for parodying Chinese speech. But in the last 4 years, Kuku has been distinguished only by a good game for T1.
Jardel Jiko "DJ" Mampusti
DJ is the most experienced “veteran” Fnatic player. By 27, he caught five TI’s and 17 Majors. However, DJ did not win anything more incredible than the BTSummit, but these are the details. Jardel is an “Atlant” of the region and co-creator of Fnatic's miracle at TI6. Surprisingly, the last time the DJ changed teams was 5.5 years ago when he returned from Execration to Fnatic.
Cheng "NothingToSay" Jin Xiang
NTS is, to put it mildly, an ambiguous player. On the one hand, he is a vital link for PSG.LGD. And before moving to the Ame team, NothingToSay achieved almost nothing in Competitive Dota. If Cheng were a weak mediocre player, he wouldn't have won anything against PSG.LGD either. Moreover, Xiao8 would simply not take it. But NTS helped the team become a world TI. So there's no denying that NothingToSay is good - it's just that his teammates are even better.
Daryl Koch "iceiceice" Pei Xiang
One of the most fantastic doter, the legend of Singapore, and the best Pango in history. He played every position except pos-4. He took 3rd place at TI1 with Scythe, top 4 at TI4 with Team DK, and top 4 at TI5 with Vici. “3x ice” has been Dota superstar for many years. Daryl beat Ehome in the first Int and knocked out VP in The International 2013. He also won the 1x1 tournament at TI3 and brought 7 different teams to TI in general.
Tea "Mushi" Ye Fung
Mushi was the mid-laner of Team DK, the legendary Chinese “Dragons”. The most stellar roster in Dota history won 8 tournaments the year before TI4. But on TI4, DK screwed up and lost to Newbee. Mushi also played in Fnatic and Mineski (Mushi won DAC 2018 with Mineski), leading the first to the Top-4 at TI6 and the 2nd Major win. Largely thanks to Tea, Southeast Asia has grown as a region.
