#5: Purge
Last Month's Ranking: #9
Purge's three-month run in our top five was broken last period - but he was quick to bounce back! Assisting his re-entry was the falloff of frequent top five finishers Dendi (of Na'Vi) and Arteezy (of Evil Geniuses) due to competitive commitments. Purge has commitments himself; he's casting the 2017 Kiev Major!
#4: Day[9]
Last Month's Ranking: #6
Day[9]'s adventures in Dota continue! Fifth-ranked Purge has been teaching him the ins and outs of the game. How fitting that both teacher and student made this period's top five.
#3: Wagamama
Last Month's Ranking: #8
It's time to welcome back a blast from the past! Wagamama's solid performance on Twitch (nearly one million channel views during the current period) catapulted him back in our top five for the first time in half a year. He's streamed over 200 hours of Dota during the current period and is closing in on 30 million total channel views.
#2: Admiral Bulldog
Last Month's Ranking: #2
The battle for the throne once again comes down to Admiral Bulldog and SingSing. Admiral Bulldog won the Twitch battle and SingSing won the YouTube battle.
#1: SingSing
Last Month's Ranking: #1
SingSing has ruled the Dota roost in 2017. Since retiring from the pro scene, his devotion to his YouTube and Twitch channels has led to unbroken dominance over the #1 rank.
