SVG is forced to host and arrives prepared with a presentation. Calling it "The SVG Cathedral of Dota History," SVG splits professional Dota 2 into two eras divided pre/post patch 7.00, then runs comparative stats across winrate, kills, hero damage, KDA, GPM, and TI win percentage. The headline finding: Miracle- is the only player in the dataset to hold a 1:1 kill ratio in both eras, and SumaiL leads hero damage by a margin that makes the rest of the field look ordinary. But the biggest revelation may be who ends up on the TI winrate leaderboard — sitting just behind OG.
