The article seeks answer on who really stands out with his achievements above, but was originally meant to be a ranking of all times best players, yet this idea was abandoned. Many names have been forgotten by time, and it is hard to compare achievements from totally different competitive DotA times. Hence only one not active player, but he should still be well remembered withing the community, even by people who haven't spend with DotA last few years.
The voting itself was done within a number of well known people in the community, who were asked to rate players giving a 10 to best player, 9 to second and so on. Then the top 10 players received a short note about their play style, what differs them from others and that special thing which makes them shine. To spice the list up, a selection of replays, one to each, was given in order to demonstrate what was being written. Only quality, top level games versus skilled opponents, making them all worth watching.
The players that were also considered, but didn't get into top 10 include iMbaQ, Kwom, Admiration, MiracleChipMunk, FocusIRE, Slahser and Drayich.
