1. Gustav
‘s4’ Magnusson
Achievements:
Gustav ‘s4’
Magnusson is a winner, all he does is win. From his days of NoTidehunter, to
the Alliance and now Team Secret, he is one of the most successful players in
DotA history winning a total of 29 titles in his career so far.
But that is
history, what makes s4 special is that he does what is required of him, he can
be a playmaker, he can be a late game farmer, he can be a utility player, he
can be as flashy as they come; he can do it all. The guy is a master of all
trades and that is the main reason why he is the most successful player on this
list.
Another
reason is his hero pool which is larger than anyone else on this list, the list
goes on and on; from his playmaking heroes - Puck, Magnus, Queen of Pain, Storm
Spirit to his frontline tankers - Brewmaster, Dragon Knight, Bristleback,
Razer, and Viper.
The Swede is
an amazing laner as well, he just doesn’t lose 1v1s. You give him an inch,
he’ll take a mile. His game knowledge his impeccable and knows what to do in
every single situation. One can always rely on s4 to perform as well, he will
perform at TI for sure and will help his team any way he can.

Fei
Chi “Ferrari_430” Luo will be attending his fifth straight
International this year with the same team, a feat achieved only by him.
Invictus
Gaming plays around their carry BurNIng and Ferrari_430 and these two legends
always perform. They are some of the most consistent players in Dota
2 right now; Ferrari averages a KDA of 4.9 which is the highest on this
list by quite a margin, the next closest being Super with 4.5.
Ferrari also
boasts an impressive win rate on Storm Spirit, 82.35% in the last three months.
He has 17 wins on the hero and the in rate is even higher than SumaiL who is
widely considered the best Storm Spirit in the world. 430 is an
anchor to this iG squad and if he shines, they shine. If he is able to play at
his peak, this Invcitus Gaming team can finish strong.

3. Syed "SumaiL" Hassan
Achievements:
Syed
'SumaiL' Hassan has accomplished more in his six month career than most
others have in a lifetime. When he came into the scene, everyone thought that
he’ll be faced by the pressure of the big stage and crumble in the big moments
but SumaiL surprised everyone; he thrived in those moments when even the
absolute best players would have screwed up.
He has
delivered some of the most memorable performances at the hardest of times; in
his performance against Vici Gaming in the third game, SumaiL died a tournament
record four times in the first five minutes. At this point of time most of the
players would have tilted but not SumaiL, he somehow went from 1-4 to 7-4 in
just 10 minutes. Other impressive performances include his Shadow Fiend at ESL
One against Virtus.Pro, the first game at the Summit 3 finals and many more.
Syed is
easily the best farmer on this list, he has the highest Gold per minute on the
list 548. He also has the highest hero damage, even more than his team’s carry
Fear himself. The impressive thing is that his hero pool is extremely wide and
he is able to carry his team to the finish line.
Evil
Geniuses play around SumaiL, they use all their resources to secure SumaiL farm
and his lane. He is the pseudo hard carry, in most games if a team shuts down
SumaiL, they simply roll down on EG to victory. His performance at TI will be a
very aspect for EG and will dictate where EG finishes.

'Mushi' Chai is one of DotA2’s absolute legends from Orange to DK and
he is currently in Fnatic. A squad of all stars from South East Asia. Although
the squad hasn’t had much success but they did get an invite to the
International and it won’t be possible without Mushi.
Mushi
started out as a support player for the squad and KecikImba played the mid role
but Mushi eventually got back to his signature mid role last month. He doesn’t
have the most impressive statistics but that’s just because Fnatic don’t win a
lot in International tournaments.
But the few
matches they do win are usually related to Mushi getting farmed early and just
snowballing from there. He is definitely one of the most skilled, experienced
and clutch mid laners in the world. For his team to succeed he’ll have to play
some of the best Dota of his life.

Sergey
'G' Bragin plays for Virtus.Pro, who got an invite for TI but weren’t a
prime candidate by any stretch of the imagination. Since then, they have
slowly became better off an impressive performance at Dream League
and then finishing in 3rd/4th at ESL One Frankfurt.
The reason
for VP's sudden success has been God.
G has
stepped his game a lot and has improved drastically, he played some incredible
DotA at the Dreamhack finals against Natus Vincere even though he had medical
problems during the match. His grit allowed him to fight through and
secure a narrow 3-2 victory for his team.
His game
averages are nothing to scoff at either; he has a GPM of 547, hero damage 14903
and a KDA of 3.7. His win rates on certain heroes is great as well; Leshrac
85.7%, Queen of Pain 62%, still unbeaten on Windranger and Bloodseeker. (3, 2
wins respectively though)
God has been
playing some of the best DotA2 of his career and if he continues to play this
way, it’ll be hard to stop the Virtus Plow for even the best teams in the
world. I’ll be surprised if VP doesn’t play top 6.
