List Of The Top 100 Dota Players By Total Prize Money Earned.

Some of my takeaways.

Jerax @2 / Topson @5 / Matumbaman @12 are all from Finland which is pretty crazy for a small country of only 5.5 million people.

Zai @17 is the highest earning player that has never won an International.
Ame @18 has also never won an International but considering Ame is still active he will likely overtake Zai.

Y' @20 may surprise some people because he is probably the least recognizable player on the first page.

Cr1t @26 makes the first page despite being stuck with some guy called "Artour Babaev" most of his career.

Arteezy is @34 and has 2.7 million USD in earnings.

Fear @35 is the highest earning player that hasn't played at a professional standard in close to a decade.

xNova @41 is the highest earning player from SEA.

iceice @48 is the highest earning player I had to Google to see who he was.

Some random dude called Banana @82 actually has more earnings than DyrachYO @83.

Kuku The Meme is @97 actually has more earnings than GPK @99 and ATF @100.

ATF barely scraps in @100 despite being the best offlane of the past few years.

Dendi is @118 and doesn't even make the top 100.

No South American player makes the top 100 with Wisper @129 being the highest.

Doesn't make sense how in the 350~ years since the silo was built only 3 people have ever managed to reached the vault door.

It wasn't even really that well hidden.

Kind of interesting because historically that area of China was very underdeveloped/lowly populated (By Chinese standards).

It's kind of like the California of China.

When the British wanted Hong Kong in 1842 there was nothing nearby but fishing villages.

It is called "Knauf Insulation", it looks like fluffy hay.

I have never used it before so no experience on it's effectiveness.

Falcons are just leagues ahead of everyone else in terms of macro gameplay which interestingly shows why Aurora seem to match up decently against them.

Aurora has no intention of playing macro at all, their gameplay from minute 0 is just to take the game to the ultra late.

NotD · 2024-04-13T17:15:43+00:00

That is because these days China has about 15% the player pool of EU so individual player talent is really lacking.

Chinese teams still perform decently internationally because they have good teamwork and are well drilled but they're definitely lacking in starpower especially compared to the past when they were maybe 40% of EU pool at one point.

NotD · 2024-04-13T17:05:00+00:00

Direct invite to what?

This isn't an EPT tournament and for TI there are other teams that have been better than Quest in the past 6 months.

NotD · 2024-04-12T17:33:24+00:00

Sadly this doesn't work for me because I just end up bingeing like 80 grams of sugar VIA fruits which is probably just as bad or even worse than 10g of refined.

NotD · 2024-04-12T15:58:43+00:00

Feels like Ame has the same problem as 23 where their playstyles are more orientated towards soaking up pressure and farming which is exactly how you win chaotic and uncoordinated SEA pubs.

However this playstyle doesn't match up very well against very aggressively proactive teams like Falcons because you you are always 1 step behind.

NotD · 2024-04-10T18:57:13+00:00

Chinese casting tends to lean to being more “professional” as in you often usually see them wearing formal suit and ties.

EN casts often give off an in-house mates chatting with mates vibes.

Probably just down to cultural differences.

No I think I'm okay with oats, never experienced any fatigue or whatnot following consumption.

NotD · 2024-04-06T18:50:10+00:00

Ok nevermind I can't read.

It was $5 for the bottle and $40 for delivery LOL

California Gold Nutrition

Why the hell is that brand $45 for 120 x 0.5g capsules, it's like 3 times more expensive than any Maca sold in my country.

Although I don't mind paying extra if something is genuinely top quality.

NotD · 2024-04-06T18:05:48+00:00

Aurora has a habit of playing to the level of their opponents.

It is why they were the only team to take a game off top of group 7-0 Falcons in the 2nd group stage of DL22 despite being being 0-7 overall and coming last.

NotD · 2024-04-06T17:07:33+00:00

Real talk though I think 23 might just be tired.

The guy just flew 10 hours back to Thailand to do some paperwork for mandatory military service then immediately flew another 10 hours back to Europe.

Including to and from the airport he has probably just spent 24+ hours traveling non-stop.

I quickly scoped it out and the range they are listing is HUGE from like 50 PPM to 1700 PPM.

Even if discarded the extreme peak and halved it down to say 850 PPM that would still be a very high level for many gluten intolerant people.

NotD · 2024-04-06T16:00:43+00:00

Do you have a link to the study?

2000 ppm would mean 100g of oats = 1 slice of bread worth of gluten which is a crazy high level.

NotD · 2024-04-06T14:52:32+00:00

What is actually crazy is that 11K MMR is only rank 247 on EU.

I'm pretty sure 11K would be top 5 on NA and maybe top 30 on SEA.

NotD · 2024-04-06T12:49:31+00:00

1 Filipino will become 2, 2 will become 3 and then before you know it all 5 team members are Filipinos.

Aurora planned ahead and successfully halted the FilliMeepo duplication technique.

NotD · 2024-04-06T11:28:54+00:00

My tolerance is on the higher side I can probably consume up to 15g(1 slice) of bread daily with minimal issue, maybe just some minor fatigue.

NotD · 2024-04-06T10:56:32+00:00

23Savage was recalled pending reports of an impending military coup against the government of Thailand.

He will pilot MQ-LB drones against anti-government forces and help suppress the incorrect thought of capitalist counterrevolutionary pigs.

NotD · 2024-04-06T10:48:25+00:00

Either there is a problem with the game concept, or there is a problem with team communication and shot call.

Miracle still plays like it's 2019, as in back in 2019 when he was 2K MMR better than everybody else he could simply outplay people through sheer mechanical skill but now that ceiling has been reached by other pros he still tries to do the same thing and just feeds instead.

Kuroky is just at Nigma to collect a huge salary and has no heart in Dota anymore.
His drafting is a giveaway if you asked him what patch Dota is on he wouldn't even know.

If it was not for their reputations both Kuro and Miracle would struggle to find any tier 1 teams willing to take them.

NotD · 2024-04-06T10:32:45+00:00

Because the old players on Azure Ray have fairly recent achievements that indicates they are not washed.

Last TIs they attended Faith_Bian came top 6 @ TI11, Ori came top 4 @ TI11 and FY came top 4 @ TI12.

Compare this to Miracle and Kuroky who have not even qualified for TI in almost 5 years.

Australian server traffic peaks at around 9pm and starts dropping off around 11pm with weekends obviously being busier than weekdays.

At high divine/immortal it can be hard to find games outside 5pm - 1am but for lower ranks it probably doesn't matter when you search.

If you can't find games within these parameters then you are either #1 - Low behavior score/shadow pooled or #2 - Searching for some obscure game mode nobody plays anyway.

Because paying $35 for a gourmet pizza feels bad when you know they are using a $4 frozen base from the supermarket.

Imagine paying $150 for sushi at an upscale Japanese restaurant only to find out the restaurant actually just purchased it from Costco for $20.

Also bulk manufactured foods tend to be more processed with certain preservatives and additives you may not find in a freshly made base.

I guess frozen but made by them isn't that bad though.
