Cosplay at ESL One: what do you want to see?

Here at ESL we love it when people cosplay at our events, so we hope to see even more great costumes at ESL One Frankfurt!

To get your creative juices flowing, we've rounded up some of the best, funniest and most accurate Dota 2 cosplay around. For example...

If you were watching The International 2013, you probably saw this guy throwing out a Black Hole. Can we please get a repeat performance? You can also see a video of Enigma guy (and friends) here.

Bloodseeker by Bindi Smalls

Bindi Smalls is pretty well-known cosplayer who pulls off some truly inspirational stuff, like this recent Bloodseeker cosplay of hers.

Invoker by Ver1sa

Everything about this Invoker is meticulously detailed all the way down to the spell orbs - it’s safe to assume that a complicated hero takes a complicated costume. For more like this, check out Ver1sa’s deviantART page.

Io


And then there’s this guy. This one is definitely my personal favorite of the list - nothing says cosplay like a blanket and some christmas lights. So wispy.

Pudge

Get over here! I think it’s safe to say that this guy nailed it.

Dragon Knight by Xen Yoo

This guy looks like he’s ready to tank the world - his Dragon Knight cosplay is legendary. According to an interview, it took Yoo a few months to finish this masterpiece - talk about dedication!

Ogre Magi


Another classic from TI3, these guys pulled off an awesome Ogre Magi cosplay - check out their cameo in the crowd when Na’Vi picked Ogre Magi above. Also imagine spending an entire day strapped to your friend…

Templar Assassin and Juggernaut by Sliph's Props

While you probably won’t see this lane combo too often, the guys over at Sliph's Props definitely look like they could take on anyone.
