While Jia plays in competitive tournaments at times, she has no team and has not won any money from Dota 2. She treats it as a hobby only, at least for now. In game, you can find her nicking “huh?”.

Bi is a professional Dota 2 girl from China that’s popular on Chinese streaming platforms. She goes by Axx in game and mainly plays off lane.

Here, she contributed to knocking out the top-ranked PSG.LGD, truly proving that she’s one of the best female Dota 2 players around.

With an MMR peaking at 7,900, Hishiko is a competitive Dota 2 player who has proven to be among the best females in the world. She streams her matches on Twitch and while she does, she has no time paying attention to chat as her mind is set to win.

Her favorite heroes are Invoker, Queen of Pain and Windranger, and her preferable spot to play is position 2.

Stephanie goes by many names in public games, but most often uses Auroraa which is the nick she has managed to reach immortal status with. However, unlike our previously listed Dota 2 females, she is yet to reach an MMR of 7,000.

Playing for Wheel Wreck While Whistling, Layla was the first female Dota 2 player to compete in a major qualifier for a Valve event. On her resumé she also has a third-place finish in the 12th season of the North American joinDOTA league, which earned her $107.

Mira is also the sister to “Rudy” and “Feero” who were and are two professional Dota 2 players. With the game running in the family, it’s no wonder that Mira ended up as one of the best female Dota 2 players in the world. 

Mira commonly goes by “Ephey” in game and has reached immortal status. She prefers playing position 4 and 5 and has more than twice as many games played with Earth Spirit as any other hero.

Istarx is a high-skilled Dota 2 female from Malaysia who has been playing Dota 2 for over 15,000 hours. She has participated in multiple tournaments with her team Grills Gaming, which is considered to be one of the best female Dota 2 teams around.

Istarx is familiar with the playstyle of various heroes, but some of her top-played ones are Queen  of Pain, Mirana and Invoker. Her MMR rank is around 5200, which is an MMR she seems to be stuck on, never making it to immortal status.

Bububu was born in Norway in 1995 and is a popular Twitch streamer. She has an audience of more than 95,000 followers that she regularly entertains by showing off her female Dota 2 skills. She has played more than 16,500 games, which is quite impressive.

Bububu either plays position 2 or 3 and absolutely loves playing Windranger. She has about as many matches played with this hero as the next top three ones combined; Mirana, Lina and Phantom Assassin.

While Bububu has managed to reach immortal status, she is not steadily maintaining it, but is often seen playing divine matches. She has competed in a couple of events such as WePlay! and FACEIT League.

Mainly playing position 3 and 5, New Zealand-born Lucy occasionally participates in low-tier competitive events, such as FSL (Female Esports League) and AEF (Australian Esports Federation). Along with an immortal status, this makes her one of the top females in Dota 2. However, similar to Bububu, she struggles to maintain an MMR over 6,000.

Commonly known as Yculstranger, Lucy plays a wide variety of heroes, such as Disruptor, Enigma, Lion, Witch Doctor, Keeper of the Light and Crystal Maiden. None is really favored over another.

Born in the Netherlands in 1985, Sheever is often considered to be one of the best female Dota 2 players. Even though her MMR is quite low (Legend 4 as of 2022), she has played over 12,000 matches.

Since 2012, Sheever is also a famous caster, host and interviewer. She has appeared as a host in numerous international and national Dota 2 tournaments. This has given her a ton of professional knowledge when it comes to gameplay.

Sheever’s passion for gaming started with Warcraft III and got really serious with World of Warcraft. But once Dota 2 was released, she made the switch. Her favorite heroes include Dazzle, Crystal Maiden, Venomancer and Mirana.
