Net worth: $3.5 million
Lasse Urpalainen signed for the legendary Team Liquid in 2017 and joined them on their multi-year domination of the DOTA 2 circuit, beginning with a win at the famous TI 2017 event in the same year he joined the roster.
Growing up in Finland, from a young age he was a talented basketball player, playing for the Finnish National team for some time. Transferring his skills from the court to the gaming arena as he grew up proved a wise decision, as he went on to become one of the most successful players in gaming history. Since turning pro in 2014, he has won 20 championships with many different teams, including the famous Team Liquid roster that remained the dominant force in DOTA 2 over a four year period, between 2015 and 2019.
In June of last year, MATUMBAMAN left the main roster of Team Liquid, which over their famous run accumulated a record-setting 68% win rate across major tournaments. Last November, he joined Team Secret, after taking a break from the first major of the season.
