#5: w33
w33 is the first of three competitive players in the top 5. He holds the #5 spot, which is fitting considering it's his fifth appearance on the list. Fun fact: Before he was a competitive player, w33 was a "pub star" and the first player to achieve 8,000 MMR. w33's signature hero is Meepo. He and team Digital Chaos placed #9 - #12 during June's Manila Major.
#4: Admiral Bulldog
After a long reign, Admiral Bulldog has relinquished the throne. This period, his stream frequency dropped significantly thanks to a busy tournament schedule. This past month, Admiral Bulldog and team Alliance placed 9th - 12th at the Manila Major and 5th - 6th at ESL One Frankfurt. Perhaps most importantly, they placed 2nd at The International 2016 European Qualifiers - good enough to earn a spot at the biggest tournament of the year!
#3: SingSing
SingSing and team Kaipi may not have qualified for any major tournaments this year, but in June they placed first at the WellPlay Invitational #2 tournament. When SingSing's not competing, he's busy streaming on Twitch and uploading stream highlights to his YouTube channel. Check out SingSing's Twitter account to follow his adventures (and to see photos and videos of his insanely cute dog).
#2: Baumi
One of Baumi's goals is to cast at a major tournament. He deserves a shot! Check out the video below to watch his personal cast of a TI 2016 Open Qualifier match between Admiral Bulldog's team, Alliance, and Virtus.Pro. If competitive matches aren't your thing, don't worry - Baumi frequently uploads casual gameplay and highlights fun Dota 2 mods.
#1: ODPixel
ODPixel, a well-known caster, marks his first appearance on the list by claiming the throne! He received a massive boost on Twitch when he and Sheever casted Team Secret's TI 2016 Open Qualifier match. The turnout was massive due to the popularity of Team Secret and the fact that the team, which includes former #1 Arteezy, recently entered into a deal to stream exclusively on Panda.TV.
