During a recent livestream, well-known Dota 2 livestreamer Janne "Gorgc" Stefanovski and Team Secret’s current inactive player, Yazied "YapzOr" Jaradat recently made a list of players who make massive impacts while playing as the hero, Leshrac. The topic was initially brought up during a watchalong, where the duo was watching the match between Gaimin Gladiators and PSG.LGD.
When the duo saw Gaimin Gladiators draft Leshrac for its midlaner Quinn “Quinn” Callahan, they went on to list several players who had the best performances while playing the hero itself.
“Quinn, Abed, SumaiL, Nisha” - Gorgc & YapzOr on best midlaners to play Leshrac
After seeing Gaimin Gladiators first picking Leshrac for Quinn, both Gorgc and YapzOr started to talk about some of the best midlaners to have made a massive impact with the hero.
YapzOr started off by giving his list of players, saying that all of his players have made a name for themselves in the North American (NA) region. He listed the likes of Quinn, Shopify Rebellion’s Abed "Abed" Yusop and Nigma Galaxy’s Syed "SumaiL" Hassan as his top three choices.
“To be honest, there are some many good Leshrac mid players. Honestly, they’re all from NA [in a way]. But overall, I would list SumaiL, Quinn and Abed [as my top three choices]. They’re not known for playing Leshrac overall, but they do play a lot with the hero.”
Gorgc agreed with YapzOr’s statement, saying that the latter’s choices are well-picked. While Gorgc listed the same names as YapzOr on his list of players, he also added Team Liquid’s Michał "Nisha" Jankowski on his list as he tried to rank these players from top to bottom.
“I don’t think it's a crazy list. I think it is very NA-eccentric. I would not say it's unfair but my list would be Quinn as 1st choice, SumaiL 2nd, Nisha 3rd and then Abed 4th. It’s a tough list to be fair. Abed has been beasting on the Leshrac though, so maybe I’ll put him as 2nd on my list.”
According to the Liquipedia statistics page of the Lima Major for the group stage, it was discovered that both Gaimin Gladiators & Shopify Rebellion had a tremendous win rate with the hero. Shopify Rebellion won 6 out 7 matches with Leshrac while Gaimin Gladiators won two out of the three matches it played with the hero.
