Who is the G.O.A.T. of Dota 2? 

Miracle - most dominating Ceb/Notail - most successful But the GOAT should be puppey. Started in Dota 1 and is still playing at very high level last year, making it to TI finals. In terms of success, longevity, impact to the game, and leadership. He has it all. The guy even has a TED Talk about Dota.

For me its Puppey. Maintain skill in highest level, both as player and as captain for 12 years is some crazy shit honestly. Its so sad he's not make it this year.

Puppey has to be there with 4 TI finals appearances with 1 TI title in the first TI and the longevity to attend TI1-TI11 is unparalleled and n0tail is the most accomplished in Valve-sanctioned tournaments (4 Valve major wins) and back-to-back TI wins certainly cements his place as one of the GOATs as well. n0tail has also won those majors either as carry/support so the flexibility to change roles while winning is god-tier level.

Miracle leveled up the game

Puppy is definatly there as number 1 for me, the insane accomplishments and longevity of that man are just plain amazing.

For me it is pure of passion and mentally healthy ana. Dude isn't the best farmer like RTZ or Ame, doesn't have the longevity that Puppey and Kuro had, doesn't have the leadership of Ceb or beat the career earnings of N0tail, doesn't have Dendi's continued passion, Miracle's genius or Sumail's confidence. However peak ana's decision making is way above most Pos 1 players. He is confident when needed(during clutch) and best of all, in game adjustments that NOBODY is on par with.

Miracle and only Miracle 🔥🔥🔥🔥

miracle just pure talent and the best player who has touch dota at the peak no one beat miracle in individual skill but sadly dota is a team game you can't just win only with mechanical skill alone

Miracle is the undoubtedly the greatest raw talent we have seen so far, but the GOAT title has to go to N0tail because he succeeded where everyone else had failed. The perseverance the guy had was amazing. Its insane how he never lost hope. All the people he depended on deserted him and right when he was on the edge, he did the impossible. OG's 2x back to back TI victory is one of the best examples of the quote "Anything is possible".

i acctualy cry in notail part. his backstory before win the 2 TI's is too much

Miracle is GOAT simply because many pro players regard him as that.

Its miracle for me. Even though I still believe he wasted a lot of his golden years in nigma. A good player should know when to quit.

I LOVE that Miracle- SF clip 😂😂 ODPixel is so speechless 😂

Puppey hands down. N0tail(with TI winning OG)had a great 3yr run. They won back2back TI, which I think will be hard to replicate, even more impossible to surpass. Puppey has been peak from the beginning.

As time passes opinions become subjective, but for me Jerax was the goat during his prime. The guy was soo fucking intelligent some subtle 200 IQ plays and calls of his won OG 2 TI's. All 5 players stacked into a heavenly synergy that produced the best Dota we've ever seen, but Jerax imo was the key element to all that magic by a long shot he made it all work. Edit: Okay actually speaking of Goats its more like Puppey. What I meant about Jerax is he was the Goat of OG and the best player in Dota at the time. Miracle had his run as the absolute top player too so can't miss to mention him. Ceb and Notail were really important to maintain the team dynamic and positivity and motivation going, but in terms of sheer gameplay Jerax was the one making a lot of important in game calls and moves that ultimately nobody saw coming. Other than that little miss imo your list is pretty damn on point.

Miracle❤

I love your Videos! Please make another video like this but per role from top 5 Captain, Core, Mid, Support, Offlane off all time!!!

Miracle is the lone g.o.a.t of dota. This is not about winning a ti. Ceb and notail needs og's legendary team, puppey needs Nisha. So miracle is real g.o.a.t of dota.

Puppey is my GOAT. Co-Founded his own team, been in the scene since the first TI, dont forget that he’s a mastermind of a captain. People mention carries or midlaners like Miracle but Puppey comes up with the plans and pick the heroes the team needs. IMO Puppey is the goat because of the way he thinks

Puppey/notail = longevity and success. Kuro and xiao8 slightly behind. Miracle/Sumail have high peak in their prime but puppey/notail have way longer longevity and consistancy. People often forget Notail won 4 or 5 majors as a carry and won 2 ti as a support. Notail on illusion carries(PL, Naga, TB and Alche) was a monster.

It depends on which u measure more longevity and achievement(notail and puppey) or pure dominant at peak(sumail miracle ana). Its like the lebron and mj debate which still happen to this day. For me its still notail (4 majors and back to back tis)

One & only, Miracle! #DaGoat#

Dendi = the reason Dota 2 is famous Puppy = the most consistent player playing at high tier level Notail & CEB = the due that broke dota for what it is - A MENTAL GAME more than being technical game (relax and enjoy the game and keep the enemy stressed) Miracle = the best skillful dota 2 player ever where teams strategize their whole plan on him or against him if you are on the opposite team. Greatest list per position: Best carry ever = Yatoro, Honor mention (AME) Best Mid Ever = Miracle, Honor Mention (Sumail) Best pos 3 Ever = Ceb, Honor Mention (Zai) Best pos 4 ever = Jerax, Honor Mention (FY) Best Pos 5 ever = Notail, Honor Mention (Puppy)

Miracle was like the Ronaldinho of Dota. Pure talent. He achieved a lot in a short time. You were mesmerized watching his art. Even though Miracle is behind in terms of success compared to the others, his talent and art are indisputably the best.

I get that longevity is hard to maintain especially in esports. but 2 TI's back to back and 4 majors? thats really hard to argue with. and if there is analytics guys out there, how dominant was puppey during his years playing vs him just being the shot caller of a very good team.

Can you also make a video of a best player base on their role/position?

Miracle is goat. Noone dominaiting dota for years like miracle

Puppey...every Dota,dota 2 titles..he has it..WESC,TI,MDL,MLG,ESL,Starladders,Summit,Majors,Minors,..every tournament titles he has it..from Navi to every Secret line up..hes up there.

People like to say OG because they won TI twice, but TI is not the only Dota tournament that matters. The prize pool does not make the tournament, and that especially held true before OG was a thing. Players had to scratch and claw to win 5 digit cash and tournaments like Dreamhack, StarLadder, ESL One, etc. were the big tournaments up to now. Puppey has won a shit ton of tournaments, placed 2nd at TI THRICE, and has remained relevant in the scene since before Dota 2. Not one season (except this one) did we not give a crap about Puppey Na'Vi or Team Secret. N0tail also makes a contention because of his versatility, not just because he won TI twice. Dude won 4 Majors as a carry and 2 TIs as a support. Maybe not as consistent as Puppey but definitely there for being a god in the micro and macro game.

Nobody's gameplay boasted more innovation and mastery than Miracle. Everyone else is great and legendary and all but Miracle took the game to heights no one thought could be possible during his reign. No one touched the game like him.

As soon as I saw the title, my first thoughts were instantly Puppey and Ceb and I’m so glad both of them are on this list. Miracle was the most dominating player during his time but his achievements are not as wide compared to the other 4 especially since he stopped playing competitively so early in his career.

Notail’s top 1 earning is hard to argue against, after all that is what every pro player is playing for, if there was no money involve there would be no “pro”. Puppey longevity means he is able to generate income for a decade playing the game at the highest level, very hard to argue against when we talk about goats. Miracle- His plays make you to wow and experience a positive emotion just watching the game, his highlight reel makes you want to just load up dota 2 and play, there’s no other player that can give you as much emotion as Miracle. He also backed up his flashy game play with 2 major wins as soon as he joined the pro scene and capping it off with a TI win playing carry even though his main role is mid. The only player to solo rampage a whole freaking team and make the enemy tap out GG in a freaking pro match. The fact that his nick name was given to him by his peers speaks volume, he didn’t choose the name Miracle, he used it because his first group of dota friends and foes kept calling him that because how insanely talented he is. With both flashy game plays and big tournament wins to back up, it’s very hard to argue against him. Very hard to pick between these 3 but for me it has to be Miracle due to how well rounded he is between godly game play and major tournament wins including TI.

In terms of accomplishments, it's Notail. Based on overall career and relevance it's Puppey. Based on playmaking and gamesense within their role, I'd probably say Jerax, but there are many you could name.

I would posit that the one player that has always impressed me with their performance regardless of how team was doing or what the meta was, it would have to be FY.

Miracle is the G.O.A.T

Miracle is the GOAT. Almost all pros like him. He is very positive both in and outside the game.

It all comes down to if you value achievements (notail) or longevity (Puppey). I personally value longevity more, so I think its Puppey

It's crazy how are more pros agreeding it's miracle the goat than regular people.

It’s notail for me. One of the 5 to win two TIs. Won many majors. And Is the reason I started playing. Also Ceb is why I love the game.

Nobody can know how great wings could have been after outclassing everyone else by a couple of classes at ti6, as many, who saw, know. Their versatility, seemingly effortlessly, demolishing all others with whatever they chose. Alas, I heard they were restricted by... Let's say their league...? Truly most unfortunate and the greatest tragedy at that time. And ever since ti6... See who couldn't win a ti anymore unlike every second year prior... Ti2 4 6. Big karma, they did wings dirty

Many players will come and go. Records will be repeated and surpassed. But the pure bliss of OG's cinderalla story from TI8 to the repeat beatdown at TI9 was the peak of Dota's pro circuit and the international. Not in my own words but from some random guy on the internet, "Ana's return, Ceb's redemption as a player, Notail's story, Jerax's loyalty to his falling team and Topson proving himself as more than a pub star". There will never be a better story written in Esports let alone in just Dota 2. That, for me, was the peak of Dota 2.

Every guy is debatable, but no one touches the OG team that won the 2nd TI. They were on another league.

Miracle for me🎉

Puppy i think he is Pro player since dota 1 and until now still in good shape, but i choose Miracle, believe it or not there are so many player inspired to Miracle game

I watch Dota tournaments because of M-GOD, but now don't have Miracle- in this TI, feels bad man....... 😢!!!!!!! A TI CANNOT WITHOUT MIRACLE-!!!!!!!

Shadow from wings gaming deserved a mention

I would say Miracle- because he was the only european player that chinese teams feared

I guess accurate will be this one: Dendi, Puppey n Notail are among the GOATs And guys like Miracle, Ana, Somnus etc are among the best...

The GOAT will always be Puppey. Overshadowed by the fact that he plays position 5 and he doesn't have the biggest earnings. But his record and motivation are insane. Still being where he is with 12 years of Dota is not only insane per se, but to keep up the motivation... that's what makes him the greatest.

Puppey, for me. A ti winner and very consistent in every team he handled. 2nd is notail

It's clear it has to be either notail or puppey. But with puppey having a lot of negativity surrounding him (strange contracts at secret / monitor smashes /etc.) it has to be notail. The way he and the rest of OG showed the world that dota is not only a mechanical game but also a mental team game was amazing. "The power of friendship everyone"

Miracle, Puppey and the whole squad of old OG.

I wasnt on the List, I was and currently Top 1 in herald, back to back herald for like 5 years now

Puppey was at top of both dota 1 and dota 2. so there goes the dota GOAT!

i am missing the navi alliance rivalry. 100% if dota were bigger during those days, navi couldve won several majors. they were dominating for like 3 years

Ana, Ceb, Topson, JerAx, Bigdaddyn0tail - OG's Back to Back TI so maybe someone in OG, i dunno its hard to pick

I'm just glad fy at least got a mention. Because we will have a problem if he wasn't included.

Miracle god hands down

CEb is an amazing player, but N0tail in general fits that role better, it was a HUGE surprise to not see Ana in here, the one considered by the community as the GOD of DOTA.

The only two people that should be in this conversation are Puppey and Notail. No disrespect to any other players but there's not a close third

At TI1 wasnt ArtStyle the captain?

Notail is actually 30yo as of Oct 8th ;)

For me its Miracle-. DOTA without Miracle means nothing. No one beats Miracle in his prime. I started playing DoTA back in 2006 (just so you know that I can be entitled to input my insight😂), then in 2013 was the official release of DoTA 2. And yes DoTA was already there but not that impactful, until Miracle came and became the first ever player in DOTA 2 history to reach 9000 plus MMR. Kids and adults knows Miracle- and that is a sign of how popular he is and he is the reason why many players around the World plays DOTA. And also not to mention his unrivaled hi-lights as well. Please dont be mad at me this is just my opinion, and again for me Miracle- is the GOAT OF DOTA

Best Player of All Time = Miracle Achievements = Ceb / Notail Consistency = Puppey G.O.A.T = Xyclopz

nigma galaxy is a power team and is also a great team to be a part of. but i really think miracle and gh should explore more on different teams and expand their ingame experiences. just look at dendi, he’s loyalty to navis very respectful but i thought and still think he should’ve explored more with different teams. not the perfect words to use for the legend but he wasted his talents during his prime even after the ending of team navis prime. i really dont want to see miracle’s and gh’s ship sinking the same way. 🙏🏾🙏🏾😭😭

Miracle Ana Ceb Notail and last Fy

Well tbh GOAT can be alot of people , Puppey has insane longetivity , miracle prime had like thousands of highlights that no one has replicated in last 6 years , dude was so insane that other pros had no idea if they had advantage on him during ganks/duels . . .then we have notail who is not as mechanically skilled but he know what wins the game, and then we have yatoro who is undoubtedly one of the best carrt out there with ame and fy being regarded as god of pos4. . . .imo theres simply isnt 1 goat but like top 5 best players in each role because dota has so many ways to win

thank god no one says Sumail in here

There is a reason why Dendi is #1 He's the Blue Eyes White Dragon of Dota

One and only..... Miracle ❤❤❤❤

how about SumaiL?

yatoro, I never see a carry have this power

What about Mushi ? Burning ? Ferrari_430 ? They were also OGs

Winning 4x Major and 2 Ti back to back 5x Major Champion as coach and 2 Ti backtoback. Notail and Ceb is the real GOAT! ♥️

Fy is underrated cause he is not on occidental side, and p4 player. I think he was the best when playing against OG in TI Final

where is mah boy kuro ?

Many Greats like Somnus, Ana, Miracle, Dendi, but for me it’s Puppey. But what about Notail, Ceb, Admiral Bulldog, Arteezy, Sumail, Kuroky and all..yeah…they are good…no really great but what Puppey have achieved in dota2 main stage is so immense that not even winning back to back Ti could eclipse the achievements of Puppey.

For longevity n success, Puppey has to be upthere, but Yatorogod making his case with 2 tis (3 if u count riyadh which is basically a ti now) under his belt already and he's only 20 this year, still have easily 4-6 prime years left. If spirit wins another ti or riyadh, there's no debate

OG Ana, selling items for a buyback and dodging the FY Echo Slam was unbelievable. Ana Ember T18 Ana IO TI9

My vote goes to Puppey supports overlooked puppeys versatility in drafts im not even a puppey fan but the number of times hes been dominant its alarming

For me Ceb and Notail are duo goat. These two are inseparable and the best duo in DOTA 2 history

I watch dota 2 since the beginning, pick between yatoro and notail...

I have two "Miracle-" and "Ame" =)

Did Kuro dirty there 6:09 lol

wheres ana and topson?

Puppey, Notail and Ceb = Candidates of GOAT

Puppey, Miracle , Xiao8, def up there set in stone, others for debate

We have this Dota 2 lore where Miracle is, without a doubt, the most skilled player in his prime days, and no one can compare to him. He is a GOAT. We can’t deny that we love Dendi because of his charisma and passion for Dota 2. How can we forget the iconic fountain hook that we never imagined could be done? Other MOBA games have tried the fountain hook and are still looking at this bug in any kind of MOBA games. In terms of achievements, Notail is at the top among achievers, just like Ceb. But Ceb took on other roles and proved that no matter what position he has in Dota 2, he is good at this game. Now, Puppey is consistent and amazing. Despite his age, he is good and always appears in TI! and majors. I believe Koro wants to compete with what Puppey achieves. He’s trying hard to be a GOAT, but he is a TI champ and shows amazing performance in Dota 2 and Frozen Throne. He was a monster in Dota 1. Jerax also deserves to be mentioned in this video. I would like to mention these Knights of Dota 2: Faith-bian, Sumail, S4, UNiVeRsE, Aui_2000, MinD_ContRoL,MATUMBAMAN,xiao8,Loda. And these uncrowned Knights of Dota 2: Ame, Rtz, Dj, Mushi, Fy, Nisha, Fly, and more. These players are retired and still competing. As we talk about these old goats, we may now be looking for the young sprouts of Dota 2 who show incredible performance - the future of Dota 2 lore such as Yotaro, 23savage, Kiyotaka, Abed, Quinn, Mikoto, Q, Oli, Kuku,Gabbi, Nightfall, Mickie, Zai,Boxi,Ramze,Nts,Pakaz,K1,Gunnar,Moo,Watson,Larl,Gpk,Aft and more.

Where is Vigoss?

Ceb is superfluous in this list. At least as a player. He won only 2 S-tier LANs and only with one stack of players. The accurate way to rate a player is to see if he can win the trophies in the different line-ups...

Im naming my son after puppey's real name, he's such a legend

BIG DADDY!!!

Notail : any thing can work ~ Pub games : Cm Safelane

miracle is ur favortie player's favorite player

Its clearly the 2 timer-winning OG squad.

how about sumail? youngest TI champion

all those mentioned...they all can be in a single team Dendi - Pos2 Puppey - Pos4/5 Notail - Pos4/5 Ceb - Pos3 Miracle- - Pos1

Base of Achievements it might be Ceb or Notail also Puppey

more dota 2 content pls
