The Rock-Solid Saviour of Dota's Greatest Team: The Story of JerAx

Before he was a two-time Tea Eye Winner, one of the most inventive position fours Dota’s ever seen, and a lovable mastermind with some of the best hair in esports, Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka was just your average, easygoing gamer growing up in metropolitan Finland.

In spite of his carefree demeanour, JerAx was the kind of guy who enjoyed adversity. Who enjoyed challenging himself -- and, ultimately, seeing what he was made of.

That’s why he loved video games: because they allowed him to test his mettle without fear of consequence.
And from those early days to the game's biggest stages with the game's greatest team, JerAx has seen it all.

This is his story.

    When a hero gets nerfed to the ground for years because of one player, and receives 2 buff patches when he retires. You can't deny the man is a god.

    what I truly love about Jerax is even if OG is at its lowest he really stayed at OG even if there's a lot of strong teams that want him to be part of their team.

    I think Jerax's motivation and complete confidence at ti8 final when OG went in to steal the rosh from PSG, was by far the most important Jerax thing to do.

    The decision of s4 and fly leaving OG made THIS OG where it is now.
  • @Memorii.
    Man, he's the one that inspired me to master Earth Spirit. I always watch his past streams and on how he solo kill cores by himself. He also taught me to have fun playing the hero even with the difficulty playing him. I'm so happy now that you made a video of him!!!
