#5: Suma1L
Suma1L, a pro player who finished 3rd at Ti6 with Evil Geniuses, received what we call the 'TI' bump; his pre-TI6 stream generated over 25,000 views and his post-TI6 stream generated over 50,000. Suma1L's team won TI5, so a 3rd place finish fell short of their goals. Nonetheless, Evil Geniuses fought valiantly and walked away with over $2 million in prize money!
#4: Baumi
Baumi attended TI6 and documented his journey in a series of vlogs. Despite his adventures in Seattle, Baumi maintained a disciplined upload schedule. In other exciting news, Baumi recently received a free Predator laptop and headset from Acer.
#3: Admiral Bulldog
In August, Admiral Bulldog got hit with a double whammy: his team placed "only" 9th - 12th at TI6, and he lost his #1 spot in our rankings! Nonetheless, qualifying for The International is no small feat and his team had quite a successful year overall. Plus, Admiral Bulldog is already back on his regular streaming and uploading schedule, so we expect him to regain the throne next period.
