Legendary Russian Gaming Streamer and Former Pro Dota 2 Player with 100M+ Views
Dread is one of Russia's most influential gaming streamers and former professional Dota 2 player, commanding a massive following with over 100 million stream views. His journey in competitive gaming began during the golden era of DotA, where he made his mark playing for legendary teams like DTS and Moscow Five alongside notable players including Dendi, LighTofHeaveN, and ArtStyle.
During his professional career, Dread achieved remarkable success, securing second place at ESWC 2010, multiple first-place finishes at ASUS Open tournaments, and a third-place finish at the World Dota Championship. He competed at The International 2011, Dota 2's premier tournament, where his team Moscow Five placed 5th-6th.
After announcing his retirement from professional play in July 2013, Dread transitioned into shoutcasting before eventually focusing on streaming. Though he briefly returned to competitive play in 2014 with team Relax (later HellRaisers), streaming became his primary focus.
Beyond gaming, Dread's personal life adds depth to his streaming persona - he became a father in March 2020. His streams primarily feature Dota 2 content, where he shares his extensive professional knowledge and entertaining gameplay with his dedicated Russian-speaking audience. His combination of high-level gameplay expertise, engaging personality, and deep understanding of competitive Dota 2 has established him as a cornerstone of the Russian gaming community.
