KuroKy

Kuro 'KuroKy' Salehi Takhasomi is one of the most accomplished captains in Dota 2 history, leading Team Liquid to a dominant victory at The International 2017 in one of the most complete tournament performances ever seen. His drafting and strategic mind have been feared by opponents for over a decade — KuroKy's ability to read the meta, identify power picks, and prepare specific strategies for each opponent has made every team he leads a tactical threat. The TI7 Grand Finals saw KuroKy's Team Liquid come from the lower bracket to sweep Newbee 3-0, a dominant performance that validated years of strategic refinement and team building. His career spans the entire history of competitive Dota — from DotA Allstars through every era of Dota 2, making him one of the longest-active players in the game alongside Puppey. KuroKy's versatility as a player is remarkable — he has played carry, mid, and support at professional level, bringing a unique understanding of every role to his captaincy. His founding of Nigma Galaxy (formerly Team Liquid/5Jungz) created an organization built around his vision of how Dota should be played.
