#5: Wagamama
Wagamama had a solid month on Twitch and uploaded his first YouTube video since April. Fun fact: Wagamama's name comes from the Japanese word for "selfish". He studied in Japan for a year and liked the way the word sounded (and he thought it suited his playstyle back in the day).
#4: Baumi
Unfortunately, Baumi's been experiencing some throat-related health issues. The probable cause: spending over five hours a day recording content for videos and streams! Consequently, last week Baumi decided to stop streaming and halve his upload frequency. He also elected to focus on creating more specialized content, such as real life videos, video essays, opinion pieces, and guides.
#3: D2Bowie
Since TI6 concluded, D2Bowie has been busy analyzing the tournament's pro player performances. Although D2Bowie started uploading videos on YouTube in August 2014, his recent ascension to the top 5 can be attributed to the popularity of his "Things I Learned" series, which began in June 2016.
#2: Arteezy
Arteezy makes his triumphant return to the top five! Earlier this year, Arteezy stopped streaming on Twitch when his former team - Team Secret - signed a deal to stream exclusively on the Chinese website Panda.TV. Arteezy is now back on Twitch after leaving Team Secret to rejoin Evil Geniuses during the massive post-TI6 team shuffle. Fun fact: Arteezy was the second player in Dota 2 history to achieve a matchmaking rating of over 9,000. Who was the first? Team Liquid's Miracle- of course!
#1: Admiral Bulldog
Admiral Bulldog is back on top! Last period, due to TI6 commitments, his YouTube and Twitch activity understandably slowed down. This period, he's ramped back up, streaming over 100 hours of Dota 2 while averaging one YouTube upload a day.
