The Top Ten Dota 2 Streamers You Should Follow
Heading over to Twitch in search of a solid Dota 2 streamer can lead to slight confusion.
The game is incredibly popular in Russia and with a high number of Russian pro players streaming, it can be difficult for those among us who don’t speak Russian to find someone to watch.
But we’ve got you covered with this list of top English speaking Dota streamers…
1. Arteezy
Artour ‘Arteezy’ Babaev is perhaps the best English speaking pro streamer. He combines insane mechanical skill, an off-beat taste in music and a friendly personality into a polished streamer package. Arteezy plays for Evil Geniuses, a North American based Dota 2 side who also happen to be one of the best in the world. If you’re looking for that killer combination of personality and skill, he’s your man.
2.BeyondTheSummit

Not a single streamer as such, but an organisation dedicated to professional broadcasting, with an extremely popular Dota 2 channel. As well as running their own live events, BtS provide high quality coverage of the professional Dota 2 scenes with their own team of casters providing insight and analysis. Well worth a watch.
3. AdmiralBulldog

Another pro, AdmiralBulldog is a well-known name in Dota 2 and a scene veteran. Best known for his Lone Druid and Nature’s Prophet play, Admiral’s stream showcases a rather more extended champion pool than you’re likely to see in pro games. As a member of Evil Geniuses and with a sky-high MMR, the offbeat Admiral’s stream combines a quirky sense of Scandinavian humour with flawless mechanics.

A variety streamer who often returns to Dota 2, Sonya is the perfect choice when you’re looking to relax in a fun and friendly channel. With giveaways, cosplay and infectious enthusiasm, you’ll rarely have a bad time when tuned in to Sonya’s stream. Reports of her ‘evil’ are as yet unconfirmed.
5. dota2ti
Dota2ti is the channel that hosts Dota 2’s biggest tournament – The International. As such, it’s not a place where you’ll be hanging all year round, but you’ll definitely want to tune in when the channel goes live to see the best and brightest in the Dota 2 scene go head-to-head in the main event.
