#5: Arteezy
Last Month's Ranking: #8
Arteezy is back! The popular (but sporadic) streamer re-enters the top 5 after a four-month absence. This period, Arteezy and Evil Geniuses participated in two main event qualifiers. They qualified for ESL One Hamburg 2017 but didn't make the StarLadder i-League Invitational #3. In addition to his team commitments, Arteezy also won an individual accolade: the September 2017 NA FACEIT FPL.
#4: Day[9]
Last Month's Ranking: #6
The student overtakes the master! Day[9] has been learning the ins and outs of Dota from #8 ranked Purge. They recently forayed into the world of Ability Drafting - thinking about item/skill builds and progression. Fun fact: Day[9] has logged over 850 hours of Dota 2 since the beginning of the year.
#3: Sumail
Last Month's Ranking: New to list
Sumail, Arteezy's Evil Geniuses teammate, enters the upper echelon for the first time! Unlike Arteezy, Sumail was on the team when Evil Geniuses won The International 2015. This period, Sumail spent 2/3rds of his streaming time on Dota 2 and 1/3rd on PUBG. He also topped the rankings in the new Twitch followers category.
#2: Admiral Bulldog
Last Month's Ranking: #2 (Tie)
Admiral Bulldog streamed nearly 110 hours of Dota 2 during the current period. October marks fourteen months since he stepped away from the pro scene. Bulldog's popular highlights video series, called DongTales, was recently revived and is now running on a weekly upload schedule. Check out the latest edition of DongTales here!
#1: SingSing
Last Month's Ranking: #2 (Tie)
The tie has been broken, and SingSing has regained the throne! Lol_tyler1, former League of Legends streamer and last period's #1, relegated SingSing and Admiral Bulldog to a tie for #2 when he decided to start streaming Dota 2. This period, Tyler didn't make any new Dota 2 content, leaving the door open for SingSing. Fun fact: This in-game bundle was inspired by SingSing's nickname (The Beaver Knight).
