Sometimes the position 4 support is also the captain but more often that is reserved for the position 5 supports. Let’s have a look at the top position DOTA 2 supports attending this year’s International. Also check out When did EG last get 3rd?

After his stint on NaVi, RodjER is now the position 4 support for Virtus.pro. Hopefully we will see some of his amazing Earth Spirit and Sand King. Perhaps he will also be a new catalyst for a strong VP run at TI9.

8. LaNm

LaNm, one of the oldest and best position 4 DOTA 2 supports of all time.

Playing with the up and coming Royal Never Give up squad is old man LaNm. With his years of experience in both the original DOTA and DOTA 2. Perhaps he will bring out his signature Lion, Rubick or Earthshaker to terrify the opposing teams. While he has had a successful for career, I’m sure he still wants the crown of professional DOTA 2, the Aegis of Champions!

7. Kaka

After finding some success with the recent Newbee squad, Kaka has found his way onto Keen Gaming as their position 4 support. I’m sure he is keen to break out his Rubick and Sand King plays to boost his team’s performance this International.

The Danish superstar support, Cr1t-, is looking to claim an aegis with the top NA squad, EG. Well known for his unbelievable plays on Dark Willow and Earth Spirit, I’m sure everyone is full of excitement to see those plays. This year will be big for Cr1t- and EG, trying to break the 3rd place curse for a big win at The International.

5. Pan “Fade” Yi

Vici Gaming has been playing incredible DOTA 2 lately, and much of that can be attributed to their position 4 support, Fade. With his great plays on heroes like Elder Titan and Earth Spirit, he is integral to his team’s performance.

Team Secret’s position 4 support is the Jordanian super star, YapzOr. Teaming up with the DOTA 2 mastermind puppey, this support duo demands respect. Playing on his signature hero, Rubick, he is feared by many teams. At this International we will see many fantastic plays from him as he chases his first aegis.

2. Xu “fy” Linsen

Is this the year for fy to claim an aegis? After many years chasing an aegis, fy has come close but has not been able to claim it. Currently captaining and playing position 4 for PSG.LGD. Hopefully this year in front of his home crowd he will get an opportunity to play in the grand finals for the aegis. And maybe we will see the Tusk king play his signature hero some more.

1. Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka
