The International 2016: The 5 scariest hero-player combinations of the group stages

Honorable Mention: EG.Zai on Wisp (30% win rate, 3 games)

The gifted youngster was once considered to be the best Wisp player in the world

Sure, kind of a wildcard, but I’ll explain why a low win rate hero is on this list. Part of the reason I think their win rate is so low is because worse teams like TNC and Escape are banning wisp first round against EG, and the three times they managed to bust it out were against two of the best teams in the world; Wings and OG – in matches they were most likely going to lose anyway if history has any precedent. In general, Zai has delivered fantastic plays on the hero and is absolutely feared on it. I also think this is incredibly significant because historically none of EG’s previous supports have been able to play the hero, including Fear, Aui, and PPD. Now that they have a Wisp player, and an elite level one at that, EG is a more complete team and they are deadly if they can get their hands on the often banned Wisp for Zai.
