Anathan 'ana' Pham delivered the two greatest carry performances in The International history, winning TI8 and TI9 with OG through an aggressive, limit-testing playstyle that turned teamfights into one-man shows and produced moments so dramatic that they transcended the Dota 2 community entirely. His TI8 performance — particularly the iconic 'Ceeeeeeb!' moment where his Phantom Lancer play set up the game-winning fight — is etched into the collective memory of esports fans worldwide. Ana's approach to the carry role was unique: rather than farming efficiently and arriving to fights late, he would commit to aggressive plays early, trusting his mechanical skill and game sense to find kills and outplays that theoretically shouldn't work at the professional level. This high-risk philosophy produced the most volatile but also the most devastating carry performances in TI history — when ana was on, he was genuinely untouchable, producing team-wiping plays that left opponents and casters equally stunned. His Australian background made him one of the few Oceanic players to ever succeed at the absolute highest level of Dota 2, and his success inspired an entire region that had previously seen minimal representation in tier-one competition. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of ana's career is his 100% win rate at The International — he attended two TIs and won both, then retired, leaving a perfect record at the tournament that defines Dota 2 legacies.
