Following a successful 2024, it is time for Dota 2 players and fans to prepare themselves for 2025. Dota 2 once again became the Esport with the highest prize pool, so it is no surprise that the top events bring together some of the best in the world.
While on the topic of the best players, there are several interesting names that Dota 2 fans need to look out for. We will most likely have access to a lot of new players, but we believe those mentioned here will be on another level. Let’s dive in and learn more details.

Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin
The first player we’ll hear of in 2025 is Dukalis. Considering his performance so far, he is one of the most promising Dota 2 players in 2025. The support player is in a league of his own and is widely regarded as one of the best right now.
Despite being just 22 years old, Dukalis has already proven himself on the professional Dota 2 scene. Throughout his career, he has played for several big names, including PSG Quest and Team Tickles. Nowadays, Dukalis plays for PARIVISION, one of the best squads from Eastern Europe.
Since joining the club, PARIVISION has achieved pretty good results and even won the ESL One Bangkok 2024. In terms of the player’s individual performance, Dukalis is also a well-known PUB star. At the time of writing, the player has achieved 15,000 MMR, which is really impressive.
Michał “Nisha” Jankowski
When it comes down to the most promising Dota 2 players in 2025, we need to point out Misha. He has to be one of the most consistent players ever because he has been among the best for years now. Considering Team Liquid’s most recent results, we expect this player to continue to shine in the future.
Although he is just 24 years old, Nisha has been a part of the pro Dota 2 scene for many years now. He played for many teams but became a lot more popular in 2018 once he joined Team Secret. After spending several years with the club, he moved to Team Liquid in 2022 and has been there ever since.
On the topic of Liquid, the WEU powerhouse had some really nice results in 2024. For example, the team won The International 2024, Dota 2’s most prestigious tournament,
Matvey “MieRo” Vasyunin
The third name on the list of the most promising Dota 2 players in 2025 is MieRo. BetBoom Team’s offlaner rarely gets the appreciation he reserves, but everyone following him knows he is one of the best in the world.
Similar to the other players on this list, MieRo is in his early 20s (21, to be exact). Despite that, he has more than 4 years of professional experience and played for various big teams. The list consists of names like CIS Rejects, HellRaisers, 9Pandas, and now BetBoom Team. Speaking of the latter, MieRo joined in early 2024 and has helped his team perform really well.
MieRo is one of those offlaners who have proven they can adapt to almost every meta. The player usually prefers to focus on heroes that allow him to control the game’s tempo. He is famous for his Doom and Enigma, but we’ve seen him on many other heroes, and he never disappoints us with his results.
Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov
There are many world-class carries, but one name is more interesting because of his age. Satanic is a 17-year-old star from Team Spirit, and we definitely believe he will be among the most promising Dota 2 players in 2025.
Despite his fragile age, Satanic has proven that he can perform very well against much more experienced players. He began his career in 2023 when he played for Yellow Submarine. After spending a few months with the club, he eventually joined Team Spirit and had to fill in the shoes of Yatoro. The latter is often regarded as one of the best Dota 2 carries ever.
An interesting fact about Satanic is that he achieved 13K MMR in early 2024 (when he was 16 years of age) and became the youngest player doing it. Sadly, this record did not last long because Niku from Natus Vincere got the same results when he was 15.
Wang “Ame” Chunyu
Unlike the other players on the list, Ame is a name that has been in the professional scene for many years. In fact, we can safely say he is among the best Dota 2 players ever, despite not winning The International so far.
While it is true that Ame decided to take some time off, the Chinese superstar is back in action. He has played for various big teams over the years, but his current club is called Gaozu, and it took part in ESL One Bangkok 2024. Despite not living up to the expectations, Ame proved once again that he is on another level.
The Chinese superstar began his professional career in 2015 and has played for pretty much every big Dota 2 team in his country. Most people will remember him for his time at PSG.LGD because he and the crew dominated in almost all events.
Unless Ame decides to step down from the professional scene again, we expect him to be one of the most promising Dota 2 players in 2025. We will definitely pay close attention to his performance.
Closing Thoughts
These were just some of the Dota 2 players that we expect to be on another level in 2025. The game definitely has loads of impressive names right now, so we at Blix believe that the 2025 season will be amazing to watch.
