Biography on dandy

If the Dota 2 community needed to choose the face of the game, then Danil Dendi Ishutin would become one of the main applicants. Once, Gabe Newell called him the most charismatic player in the world. An ever -smiling Lviv guy with tousled hair and thin features matured with this game. During his ten -year career, Danil was both the world champion and the main outsider of the tournament, but he never allowed himself to give up.

How to educate e -sportsman is unlikely to have relatives Dendi could have imagined that they always raised e -sportsman in it. The father, who drove Danil for fishing, showed him the importance of perseverance and endurance. Mom-musician, having planted a piano, gave Dota Mir one of the fastest and most gifted players. Dancing classes helped Danil freely feel on stage in front of a thousands of thousands.

And my grandmother bought a computer. Like all younger children, Dendi saw his first games from behind his brother. With him they played Quake and Doom, opened the second Warcraft. But after the wedding, the brother moved and took the computer with him. Then Danil made a second discovery for himself-there was an Internet cafe near the house. Dendi liked computer games, but he would hardly have devoted their lives to them if it were not for the tragedy in the family.

The father, who was the best friend of Danila, took the cancer. The boy tried to hide from the pain of loss and did not find anything better than to leave head for the game. It's like an attempt to get distracted. This was probably the beginning. What prompted me to play even more. Maybe I wouldn’t play at all, if not for that, ”said Danil in the film Free to Play. Dendi has passed the usual path for many e -sportsmen.

Danil himself gathered his first team in Dota - he simply wrote a big post on the forum, surprised that the national team of Ukraine was not found among the participants in international tournaments. Now Dendi believes that it was a slightly stupid teenage act. But then he got the place of support in the Ukrainian composition, met other players and took the first step in e -sports.

The first champion of Danila’s career is a travel card on which you can study the development of Dota scenes in the CIS and in the world. The best players, the first organizations and tournaments from local to the world. He traveled around Ukraine, traveled to Moscow, flew to conquer China and Paris. Starting a player’s career at 17 years old, a year later Dendi stormed the championships one by one, holding on the top three.

If I see that the selected style of play gives the result, I continue in the same spirit. I like to take risks, but, as always, first I expect whether the result of risk is worth it. Simple mathematics, ”Danil explained his aggressive style of the game. He became a player who could: go to a complex line on Mirana, “farm” the forest on the Witch Doctor or to conquer the Foreign Ministry at Shadow Feed or Dazzle.

He himself will not immediately be able to recall all the championships and stops that passed in a few years. The DTS team, in which Dendi performed, fully justified the title of one of the main forces of the European scene. But their main rival was not the Swedes, Americans or the guys from Russia, but the Chinese from Ehome, who were deservedly called "robots." The revenge managed to take a few months later, in November.

Then the best teams in the world gathered for the most prestigious tournament of the season - World Dota Championship the real world championship. No, the Hollywood meeting in the final did not work - the teams collided in the first match. Crazy game, which went down in the history of the world Dota scene. As Dendi on Dazzle rushed on the map, how the Ukrainians frolic in 20 minutes on someone else's base and how the Chinese had nothing to answer.

It was not possible to pick up the championship in that tournament, but the principal rival was broken. And on the home stage. However, later they are waiting for another important meeting. Danil’s e -sports life can be easily divided into two parts: without Natus Vincere and along with Natus Vincere. Dendi joined the young Ukrainian organization on December 25 and has not yet removed the black and yellow T-shirt of the “Born to Win”.

No one on a professional bunker can boast of such constancy. But the end and year became a turning point not only for Danil, but for the entire Dota history. First, Valve announces that they take a famous competitive card under their wing, turning it into a separate game. Then the company makes an announcement in which neither players nor ordinary spectators believe in months. To show the world their new creation, Dota 2, Valve plan to hold a tournament, the winner of which will get $ 1 million.

A couple of three years ago, players participated in the championships just for the sake of pleasure, and now they were offered to become millionaires in a few days. Natus Vincere received an invitation to the tournament as one of the best teams in the world. They were given the keys to Dota 2, there was no one to train with, and there were only 46 heroes in the game. Do not lose a single card in the group stage, it is easy to walk along the playoffs, in order to encounter them again in the finale-“Chinese robots” from Ehome.

As Dendi promised, he again met with them in a “new life”, for himself and for the game.To the screams of commentators, Western fans and the NATUS Vincere players themselves were the first champions of The International, having won the match with the score, Danil earned the first e -sports million, dollars - for the team and hryvnia - for himself. Yes, at some point you begin to look at the numbers, because you can win a whole million!

This never happened in e -sports. But in the end, this is the same tournament that you just want to win, no matter what. Money is motivation, but only additional. I do not feel from this pressure. Only people who will follow me and opponents who need to be beaten to beat. Over the next six years, Danil will play in Natus Vincere in a hundred championships and qualifications.

Dendi will set the KDA record for Valve championships and will become the only player who attended the world championships in the same team. But no matter how many victories and defeats after that, in history he will remain as the first champion of The International. I feel how much the organization did for me how she changed my life for the better, and therefore it seems to me that I owe her.

I’m comfortable here, I am in debt to people who invited me here, so there is no reason to leave. I just want to play, work on something, if I can help, or just wait if my help is not useful. It is a pity that now no one respects such fidelity, ”Dendi shared. When players join the team, they always ask Danil about beginners. And about each of them he will say something that will inspire hope for even desperate fans: “Artstyle returned with burning eyes and new motivation”, “Sonneiko plays so well that you can hardly imagine it” and, yes, “Vitya is a car!

Dendi does not avoid discussing problems, but he is always sure that any of them is overcome, if you hold together. That is why it is more difficult to watch each time how he has to say goodbye to teammates. It all depends on the choice of heroes and strategy. You just deal with the task or not. It is time for people to start praising teams, not players. The best will be only those players who know how to work with their teammates.

On Major in Manila in the middle of the year, Natus Vincere met Alliance. The Ukrainians came out the winners in the next bright match. Because of these screams, it was barely audible. And then I am a little offended by my Timmates. They earned all this no less than me, ”Danil turned to the public with an unchanging smile, showing the players standing on the stage. The name of the Ukrainian team spilled for a few more minutes in the multi -thousandth hall, answering the sincere request of the legendary player.

The legacy "Hello, I'm dendi and I'm cool! If you ask commentators or players what they think about Dendi, you will never hear anything bad: “Great player”, “Legend”, “Friend”, “Soul of the Company”. And Danil always meets the community the same. He dances on stage, jokes during the filming and laughs at himself. He tries to speak in Stream both in Russian and in English, so as not to deprive fans from different countries with the attention of fans, and from large tournaments brings video blogs about the backstage life.

He goes to Moscow and Peru to meet and play with fans, gives an interview even in the middle of the night and answers the same questions with a smile.

Dendi is sure that without the support of the public there would be no game or its victories, and therefore he owe to fans no less than the native organization. But Danil’s e -sports heritage does not end on the list of victories and the name on the Ahegis trophy. Thanks to him, those who wrote and writing her story appeared on the stage. Six months later, this guy defeated Dendi in the TI final and became the new world champion.

Arthur of Arteezy Babaev, one of the best e -sportsmen of the American stage, studied on the notes of Danil's games: “I was inspired by the video on YouTube when Dendi stood on the Line in the First Dota. I watched him when I was then about then I told myself that I wanted to become the best in the world, ”Arthur said after the first major victories at international tournaments.

And especially Dendi, ”Singaporet Benedict“ HYHY ”shared Kim, talking about preparing for the next championship.
