Steven "Stinger" Vargas (born December 4, 1996) is a Peruvian player who last played for Lava Esports.

Biography

[edit]

Steven started playing Dota in 2012, and has passed through teams such as Not Today, Elite Wolves, Revenge and Artyk during his professional career. Stinger is an experienced player who has already been in LAN tournaments such as The Summit 3 and JoinDota MLG Pro. After that the player passed through a hiatus, leaving Team Elite Wolves and deciding not to play professionally anymore.

In November 2015, leaving his hiatus, the player joined Team Artyk with Ztok and Vann. The team disbanded in late December, so Stinger joined Team Infamous as coach together with Ztok and Greedy. After Ztok left Team Infamous, Stinger became the team captain while playing role as support 4.

In March 2017, StingeR joined NoT Today for the Kiev Major qualifiers. After the team failed to qualify, the roster was dropped and later sponsored by Elite Wolves. In September 2017, they would be sponsored by Infamous, a team in which StingeR would stay until August 2018, when he joined Braxstone.

On 16th January 2024, StingeR's main Dota 2 account was banned by Valve for account sharing. This occurred during game 2 of Mad Kings' Dreamleague Season 22 Qualifier match against Thunder Awaken, resulting in a default win for the opposing team. [1]
