In an interview with ONE Esports, presented in collaboration with Samsung, Mobile Legends pro Naser “Dogie” Mollazehi discussed his early gaming experiences.

Initially playing Heroes of Newerth, he often left games early because there were no consequences for doing so.

He later switched to League of Legends, where he acquired rare skins such as King Rammus, UFO Corki, and Black Alistar.

Eventually moving on to Dota 2, it was during his first viewing of The International tournament that he was profoundly inspired by Danil “Dendi” Ishutin, a member of the legendary Natus Vincere squad that won the first TI.

The MPL Philippines Hall of Legends inductee and former Nexplay EVOS player expressed that Dendi became his idol regardless of which game he played, stating: “Whenever I see him press keys, it seems like he’s playing the piano.”

Dogie shares who his esports idol is — and he is not from Mobile Legends
