Is 'JerAx' the coolest Dota 2 player out there?
With his hair gel the only thing more gripping than his gameplay, Jesse 'JerAx' Vainikka is one of the most exciting players in Dota 2. Following OG's TI9 win, here's what you need to know...
When it comes to looking good while playing Dota, no one comes close to Jesse 'JerAx' Vainikka. His hair is at the top of the leaderboard, he always appears to be calmer than anyone around him and he has one of the coolest clothing lines in the world of esports. When he jumps into Dota, though, none of that matters – only his impressive support play.
For proof of that, Team OG have just chalked up their second victory at The International in as many years. It's the first time back-to-back wins in the competition has ever been achieved. Needless to say, in both events, OG's JerAx played a pivotal role.
Best known for his Earth Spirit, 'JerAx' is one of the few support players who'll always be targeted with early bans by every team. You just don't let him play ES, or you'll end up with a loss.
While ana and fellow Finn Topson are often the ones pulling-off the highlight reel plays, JerAx is no stranger to that style of play either, often stealing the show as the position four – no easy feat.
