Alex "Sheepsticked" Roberts, known for her work as an analyst and commentator in Dota 2, made a surprising career shift in 2023 when she decided to become a VTuber. Over the year, she focused on her new venture, building her presence as a streamer with a virtual avatar, gaining significant popularity in the online community. However, in August 2024, Alex returned to the world of Dota 2, sharing with her followers that she hadn’t played ranked matches for a year but managed to raise her MMR from 6.3k to 7k in just 29 games, with an impressive win rate of 75%.
Not only as a player, but also as an analyst, Alex has expressed her desire to return to tournament commentary. She announced her intention to rejoin the Dota 2 scene, despite her long break. While many fans welcomed her return with excitement, some expressed doubts about how easily she would reintegrate into major LAN events, especially given the lack of new commentators and analysts in the professional scene. Nevertheless, her experience and popularity among viewers are key factors that may help her make a successful comeback to the industry.
