Dota 2 - The Most Picked Heroes at The International 2019
Most Picked Powerful Heroes at The International 2019
Ember Spirit
Ember Spirit made a splash in the 7.22 update and has since become a force to be reckoned with in the Meta. Often played as a versatile hero, Ember is an incredibly flexible character. This hero can unleash remarkable physical or magical damage depending on the player's style. Ember's greatest strength lies in his rapid appearance in every combat, with the ability to burn enemies and resist spells with Flame Guard and Sleight of Fist.
One of the main reasons professional players favor Ember is his excellent mobility and laning capabilities. Putting pressure on lanes and excelling in combat are Ember Spirit's strong suits. These positive aspects make Ember one of the top choices at The International.
Otherworldly Devourer
Otherworldly Devourer may not shine in pub games like other heroes, but the professional scene tells a completely different story. OD is one of the most controversial heroes in recent professional matches, particularly in the TI9 qualifiers. Creating tremendous discomfort in the early minutes of the game, OD excels in team fights and possesses excellent crowd control with Astral Imprisonment. Additionally, the hero boasts some incredible skills, making him a top choice as a mid-core for teams in The International.
Frosty Sage
Frosty Sage is among the most frequently picked heroes in the TI qualifiers, banned a whopping 90 times in 159 matches. We've witnessed Wraith King paired with AA as a formidable duo in the qualifiers. Frosty Sage delivers significant damage without consuming massive amounts of mana in the early game, featuring excellent skills to counter healing heroes and other popular meta picks like Alchemist and Morphling. Furthermore, Frosty Sage possesses outstanding talents to support him in battles.
Beastmaster
Beastmaster stands as one of the finest offlaners in the current meta, evolving into a potent hero since the release of version 7.22. Boasting remarkable talents, even when taking on the offlane, Beastmaster can make a comeback by gaining 25% EXP, adding 6 damage to Boar, or acquiring 6 armor – all excellent choices at level 20 or 25 in the talent tree. The best part about Beastmaster is the crucial ability to pierce through BKB, a game-changer in professional matches.
Spirit Breaker
Spirit Breaker is also one of the most controversial and frequently banned characters in the TI9 regional qualifiers. Not only causing annoyance in public matches, but Spirit Breaker can also disrupt the enemy lineup early in the game with its tracking skill. Spirit Breaker excels against some meta heroes like Night Stalker and Luna because it can achieve +600 vision at night when combined with the level 10 talent.
Here is the list of the most frequently used powerful heroes in The International 2019 Dota 2 tournament during the regional qualifiers.
