Who is IceFrog? The Secret Identity of Esports' Most Reclusive Mastermind | OverExplained

by devaccess



Between Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch and all the other social media platforms on the internet, you can basically watch someone’s entire life from start to finish in real-time.

And that means that certain public figures have become memetic celebrities, with cults of personality formed around them.

But one person has managed to become a celebrity without losing their anonymity. One person has spent years in the shadows, but is still revered as a god: IceFrog.

According to siractionslacks' loregasm the two ancients wants to be destroyed at the same time. According to slacks' understanding of the lore, everytime only one of the ancients die. The other one left resets everything to try and attempt again to die at the same time. So what if Icefrog designed Dota 2 in a way that if some players managed to make a draw or destroy the ancients at the same time, it would reveal Icefrog's identity.

Icefrog is not a person. Icefrog is in the game since day one, icefrog is like an A.I that understand the game more than we do. Icefrog can be a glitch or can be pop-out in the game. This is the best theory. Selfproclaim best ? because he said "imagine if CS:GO had icefrog?" Then in the video there is a glitch that the bomb or C4 is underground. Maybe if icefrog is there or the A.I the glitch will be not acure and icefrog can control the game. So SO ICEFROG IS NOT A PERSON

Icefrog is so authoritarian that at one point he patched smoke not to be revealed by sentries and most of the pros didnt like that yet he stuck with it and looking at it now it makes sense
