Jacky "EternaLEnVy" Mao - #1 Core / Carry

PLAYER STATISTICS

The story of EternaLEnVy (or as his fans like to call him, EE-sama) follows that of a typical sports anime: a youth professes his dedication to a sport; a point is made about how low his chance of success is; through hard work, the youth proves his detractors wrong and succeeds against all odds; an altercation with a rival leaves him without a team.



I am the bone7 of my sword

Logitech is my body and HyperX is my blood

I have created over a thousand MoMs

Unknown to Death, Nor known to Dieback

Have withstood pain to create many Midases

Yet, those hands will never hold anything

So as I pray, unlimited carry works.



Praise Heaven's Carry

O EE-sama, Exceeding in Strength, Anime-Rider, Savior of Cloud9, Mighty with the Dota. Shed down a Hand of Midas from above upon my hero, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my farm and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Dispel also the glimmer of enemies from my minimap, which tempts me to purchase items for blood-thirsty fighting. Rather, O blessed one, give you me the greed to abide within the harmless 30 minutes of PvE, avoiding strife and hatred and fulfill my destiny of six slots.

WehSing "SingSing" Yuen - #2 Mid / Core

PLAYER STATISTICS

SingSing has been around the esports scene for quite some time, having played Dota, Heroes of Newerth, and Starcraft II at a high level. This Dutch mid player has been at the pinnacle of mechanical skill for a very long time. WehSing got access to the Dota 2 Beta in the early stages, then quickly gained popularity through his stream where he became known by his off the wall antics and over-the-top personality. To this day his stream is still one of the most watched out there, next to Dota greats like Dendi. SingSing even has a Twitch copypasta (10 years since sing strim) dedicated to him after not streaming for many months this past year, a feat that basically immortalized his personality into the twitch world forever.



Prior to playing with his current team, SingSing had been on mousesports roster that atteneded TI2 and the GD B-Team, which quickly became the QPAD Red Pandas. Outside of attending The International 2012, neither of these teams made a big splash in the scene. Shortly after TI3 he joined forces with most of the current C9 roster in the form of Kaipi, and has been with them since the inclusion of Aui_2000 and their journey from Rattlesnake.int and Speed Gaming, to Cloud 9.



In a meta-game in which many mid players playing more of a carry style, SingSing remains as one of the best-remaining utility and ganking mids. He excels at high skill cap heroes like Mirana, Ember Spirit, and Invoker, and is one of the key elements to Cloud 9’s impeccable team fighting. Although, he can play farming mids just as the likes of Arteezy and Qojqva, and is not averse to going into the safe-lane when EternalEnvy wants the mid-lane for his Drow Ranger or Phantom Assassin.

Pittner "bOne7" Armand - #3 Offlaner

PLAYER STATISTICS

After a long string of visa issues preventing bOne7 from attending multiple LANs, he has finally been cleared to play, and will make it to TI4 to fight alongside his team. This Romanian offlaner hasn’t had as interesting a past as EE-baka or Sing, instead preferring to stay in the background and quietly perform his role without much fanfare. Supports know his name well, and cower in fear when he’s given some of his signature heroes such as Clockwerk, Batrider, and Puck.





Pittner started out his Dota 2 career playing with GamersLeague, which didn’t go very far and had almost no success. He was known very well in pub games at the time, and was picked up quite quickly by Kaipi alongside most of his current teammates.



His play-style meshes perfectly with the rest of his teammates as he is very fond of using high-skill and high impact heroes that dominate the mid-game in ganking and teamfights. One of his most common item choices is the Blink Dagger, which he gets nearly every time regardless of who he is piloting in the offlane. As mentioned above, he is known for solo-killing the enemy, which makes him one of the most dangerous offlane players for enemy supports. If he is able to overcome his lack of LAN experience with his team, Cloud 9 will have confidence in him holding down the long lane with ease.

Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling - #4 Jungle / Support

PLAYER STATISTICS

When it comes to the world of Dota, Aui is perhaps one of the smartest players in the West, if not the world. As one of the smartest and most efficient players around, he is able to play any position given to him, and has been seen as a carry in his time on Dignitas, or as a hybrid support/Jungle player here on Cloud 9.





He started his Dota 2 career on PotM Bottom where he was put into the carry role. It was then that he was noticed as an extremely innovative player, popularizing builds like Maelstrom on Lone Druid, and becoming one of the most consistent farmers out there. One of his trademarks as a carry was his impressive KDA, as he was a player that rarely died for no reason, like being out of position. As we all know, the success of PotM Bottom was noticed, and Dignitas promptly picked up the squad in 2012. He played there for a very long time, attending TI3 as one of two American teams. After TI3 we saw the disbandment of Dignitas, and Aui Joined his current teammates in what was then, Rattlesnake.int. He immediately transitioned into support, which came as no surprise due to his knowledge of the game.



On Cloud 9, Aui can be seen as a support/jungle player, although it’s not uncommon to see him unfold as a core since he is so efficient at finding farm in the jungle, and making great rotations with his favourite heroes, Chen, Enigma and Visage.

Johan "pieliedie" Åström - #5 Support

PLAYER STATISTICS

Pieliedie is a bit of a recluse when it comes to interacting outside of Dota 2, but in the game he is the main shot-caller, and mastermind in many ways. As the teams drafter he is known to draft clever combos, and great team fight lineups focusing on mobility and cohesion.



He has been playing Dota since the Wc3 days, where he played with a small team called Gvisions, where he was a teammate of playes like Bogdan and zoN. He quit around 2009, and then came back to Dota 2 around 2012 with his recruitment to kaipi after being scouted in a pub game by Asuna.



His roles as the shot caller and drafter is the most important, but he is also the hard support player on the team, known for his excellent play on Ancient Apparition, Bane and IO. Pie’s AA is especially impressive, and can be seen making the lives of his enemies a living hell with his fastly timed Aghanim’s Sceptre.
