N0tail: Dota 2 Profile & Gear

How old is N0tail? Dota 2 player name, birthday and country

N0tail was born on October 8, 1993, and is 32 years old. Older broadcasts may call him BigDaddy or BigDaddyN0tail. His early competitive background was in Heroes of Newerth before moving to Dota 2, where he represented Fnatic and later helped establish OG.

The support label describes his championship role, not every season of his career. In Dota 2, position five usually works with a carry in lane and spends less of the team’s farm. N0tail’s earlier carry experience makes that change of responsibility an important part of his story.

N0tail’s Dota 2 career: OG, four Majors and two International wins

N0tail won four Valve Majors before lifting the Aegis twice with OG. Frankfurt, Manila, Boston and Kiev established the team’s tournament record before the TI8 breakthrough. Those titles came across different lineups, while the two TI victories belonged to the same five players.

N0tail, ana, Topson, Ceb and JerAx became the first players to win The International twice. OG’s own championship recap emphasizes that unchanged roster. The story is about a successful team across two editions, not one player’s individual score. Our Dota 2 tournament archive puts both events alongside the other TI winners and prize pools.

N0tail’s Dota 2 prize money: $5.37 million from TI8 and TI9

N0tail’s listed individual shares from those two TI titles total $5,370,867.80. The table adds his four Major victories for context. Amounts are attributed player prizes in US dollars, rather than the full award received by OG.

These results are a selection, not a complete earnings ledger. Prize listings cannot establish N0tail’s net worth: they do not include all salary, sponsorships, costs or taxes, and are not proof of the amount ultimately deposited into a player’s account.

N0tail’s Dota 2 hero shortlist: Chen, Io and Enchantress

Our editorial shortlist highlights three different support ideas. Chen brings controlled units and team sustain. Io plays closely around another hero, while Enchantress offers ranged pressure and creep control. This is a profile selection, not a claim about N0tail’s current most-played heroes or their win rates.

What gaming setup and keyboard does N0tail use?

In an April 2023 interview, N0tail described using Shark Gaming monitors and SteelSeries peripherals. He also mentioned having used a Logitech mouse. The interview establishes brands, but does not identify the exact products on our gear board.

All six cards above are therefore D2F picks with unconfirmed player use. They are shopping options, not a photographed inventory of his desk. The Amazon.de affiliate searches include our partner tag; check the exact model, keyboard layout and current listing before buying.
