Not all players can be good at stealing your hearts with their high-quality gameplay, speaking of stealing, there is one player who knows how to steal well.

Sometimes you won’t know if he is the support player or the mid laner due to his heavy farm as he goes neck and neck in terms of net worth with enemy core heroes! His only aim now is to retire after lifting the Aegis. Enigma remains one of his favorites.

Enigma is played in a very greedy fashion by Yapzor, often opting for a Hand of Midas or aiming for the perfect 5 men Black Hole.
