Roman Andreevich Kushnarev (born 25 April 1999), better known as RAMZES666 (Twitch login ramzes), is a Russian professional Dota 2 player and streamer. He rose to fame as Virtus.pro’s carry during a historic Major-winning run and remains one of the most-watched Russian Dota streamers on TwitchTracker overall rankings.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
Kushnarev was born in Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo Oblast. He practised boxing and football before focusing on esports, competing in local LANs as a teenager and joining the semi-pro mix ScaryFaceZ in 2015.[1]
Professional career[edit]
After early stops with CIS Rejects, Team Spirit, and Team Empire, he joined Virtus.pro in August 2016. The roster won ESL One Hamburg 2017 and four further Valve Majors in 2017–18, with top-eight finishes at The International 2017 and 2018. In November 2017 he became the first CIS player—and fourth worldwide—to reach 10,000 solo MMR. He later played for Evil Geniuses, Natus Vincere, rebuilt Virtus.pro sides, Darkside, and 9Pandas. On loan at Tundra Esports in 2024 he finished third at The International 2024. In June 2025 he was named ambassador for Team Yandex’s Dota roster.[1]
Streaming[edit]
Parallel to competition he streams Dota 2 (and occasional other titles) to a large Russian-speaking audience under the login ramzes, regularly appearing in TwitchTracker’s worldwide and regional top charts.[2]
