Dota 2 players tend to start their professional careers quite early (usually before hitting 20) and continue to compete for quite a while. Some are even active after reaching 30 and that's proof you don't need fast reflexes to be efficient in it. Today we'll be taking a look at the top 5 most famous Dota 2 players that chose to step away from Valve's title despite being really successful (in no particular order). Might as well leave while you're on top right?
