The Rock-Solid Saviour of Dota's Greatest Team: The Story of JerAx
Ойындар
Before he was a two-time Tea Eye Winner, one of the most inventive position fours Dota’s ever seen, and a lovable mastermind with some of the best hair in esports, Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka was just your average, easygoing gamer growing up in metropolitan Finland.
In spite of his carefree demeanour, JerAx was the kind of guy who enjoyed adversity. Who enjoyed challenging himself -- and, ultimately, seeing what he was made of.
That’s why he loved video games: because they allowed him to test his mettle without fear of consequence.
And from those early days to the game's biggest stages with the game's greatest team, JerAx has seen it all.
This is his story.

When a hero gets nerfed to the ground for years because of one player, and receives 2 buff patches when he retires. You can't deny the man is a god.

But this guy took that away from them. I wished something magical like that would happen when I was watching OG vs TS. We will always remember Jerax. The Savior of OG.

Finally! Been waiting for this. Thanks
Jerax was the actual reason why Topson and Ana is so effective. If you watch Topson versus other top team mid, he rarely dominated the laning phrase, but somehow Jerax was always there to rotate whenever he needs help, ALWAYS, like this man can see the future or something. Together with Ceb, Topson, Jerax is like a freaking machine who rotated and rotated and created so much space for Ana.

Met him at ESL Katowice and I've never dropped so much spaghetti when speaking to someone in my adulthood. Couldn't speak a coherent sentence. And he's just there not minding anything, wrapping me around in this aura of angelic comfort, dedicating all his attention in the present moment on me. I babbled something about 2GD being an ass and left with a shitty selfie. Best moment of my life. Pls no copy pasterino cappucino.

When you are so good, that the Devs want you back when you're retired by buffing your signature hero.
I've literally watched that True Sight for TI8 like 15 times and its literally the first thing I ever watched that was related to Dota 2. I didn't watch the finals live and didn't know shit about OG before that and became a diehard fan because of their personalities and the story surrounding them. That shit gives me goosebumps everytime.
