Top heroes picked at The International 10 2021
October in Dota 2 turned out to be really hot. This month, the next gaming season was closed by the main tournament - The International 10. Very soon, the teams will return to action with rosters updated after the reshuffles. You can always find the current schedule of upcoming tournaments on the website https://getesports.net/dota-2-tournaments/. In the near future, a series of top Dota 2 championships awaits us.
As for TI X, this tournament was especially remembered by fans from the CIS. The sensational victory of Team Spirit attracted the attention of even people far from the world of eSports. One of the symbols of the championship was Collapse and its hero Magnus. In general, this character was quite popular among esportsmen, but he took only 11th place in pick rate.
10. Storm Spirit - 47 games
This spirit was taken to mid according to the classics. The teams Virtus.Pro and Fnatic played the most - 7 matches each of the teams. In conjunction with Bane, this character showed a win rate of 80 percent. In general, the win rate leaves much to be desired - only 46.8%.
9. Lion - 48 games
A support with two control buttons and a powerful ult is loved by both ordinary Dota fans and professional esportsmen. The players at The International also actively took Lyon, who was extremely useful at all stages of the game. Especially often it was taken by IG - 13 times.
The champions, Team Spirit, picked Lion 8 times, 6 of which ended in wins. In total, the win rate of this character at TI 10 was 52 percent.
8. Monkey King - 48 games
The Monkey King is especially dangerous in professional hands, so in almost every match on Int, players either banned this character or picked him. According to this indicator, Monkey King is the leader within The International. And this is not surprising, because in most of the matches MK brought victory to his team. Character Winrate - 58.3%. Team Secret and PSG.LGD, who took 3rd and 2nd places, had a win rate of 100% on Monkey King.
7. Weaver - 52 games
The beetle can cause a lot of problems to the opposing team. It forces them to spend significantly more on blue wards, as well as improve control, because the ult can get Weaver out of any mess. Also, couriers are constantly falling under the onslaught of Weaver, so teams quite often tried to take this character themselves. He was most popular with Vici Gaming and Team Spirit - 8 and 7 matches. The win rate of these two teams on Weaver is impressive - 87.5 and 71 respectively. The overall win rate is 48 percent.
6. Tiny - 55 matches
A slow stone golem can quickly turn the game around 180 degrees. Most often, this hero was picked by the team that won this competition. Team Spirit, however, lost to Tiny PSG.LGD in the final match, and in conjunction with Lycan, this is a real imba. However, the champions had a Collapse on Magnus. As for Tiny, he won more than he lost - 29-26 or 52.7% WR. Like Monkey King, Teeny was either picked or banned in almost every game.
5.IO - 60 matches
By a wide margin, the five popular heroes are opened by Wisp. This character is difficult to control for beginners, but eSports shows the highest class with this hero. However, at The International, despite his popularity, IO had an extremely low win rate. The character's win rate is only 38.3%.
4. Snapfire - 61 matches
Although Granny appeared in Dota 2 only two years ago, she has already become a very popular character. Snapfire fits extremely well in fourth position. Most often, this character was picked just by Team Spirit - for Mira. However, for TS, half of the matches on Snapfire ended in losses. In general, the win rate of this character also leaves much to be desired - only 45.9 percent of wins from all matches played.
3. Earthshaker - 61 matches
Shaker with stuns and AoE damage can always decide the match in his favor. It can be taken to almost any position. The hero was most popular with the Virtus.Pro and Vici Gaming teams. Also in the top five Shaker fans were T1, Quincy Crew and Undying. Out of 61 matches on Earthshaker, 31 were won. The win rate is 50.82 percent.
2. Tidehunter - 63 matches
A fat hard player with a powerful ult has become one of the most popular heroes of this Int. Other Dota 2 tournaments also take place with the active participation of Tide. This time he was one of the reasons for the victory of Team Spirit. The Russian team picked him 10 times, and 9 matches ended in victory for the team - a phenomenal indicator. Overall, Tidehunter's win rate was in the middle at 52.38 percent.
1. Elder Titan - 73 matches
By a wide margin, ET went to first place. This character was extremely difficult to play against. Sleep and the ultimate ability just destroyed the enemy teams. The leader in the number of Elder Titan picks was Vici Gaming. The Chinese team won 7 out of 10 matches with Titan. PSG.LGD picked the hero 7 times, and 6 games ended in victory for them. Team Spirit won 5 out of 5 matches in which they took Elder Titan. Including this hero brought them one point in the final meeting. Elder Titan is not only the most popular hero in TI X, he also has the highest Winrate in the top ten with 60.27%. It seems that we should expect a reduction in the characteristics of the hero in the next patch.
