Charlie "Monolith" Yang is a well known persona in the Dota 2 scene. He was the manager of Dignitas, Speed Gaming and most recently, Evil Geniuses. He is regarded as one of the most professional managers in the scene.
Biography
[edit]Charlie Yang has played Dota since his undergraduate days. He initially wanted to become a professional player after finding success in high-level pubs. He became friends with many players before they broke out onto the scene, including Arteezy and Aui_2000.[1] He later stated that, as a manager, his main goal was to create a stable environment for professional players and to make it a more viable career option in the eyes of parents.
Yang's first management position was for PotM Bottom. He was approached by Aui_2000, who asked him if he would be interested in managing a little-known North American team, comprised of an unstable collection of more than five individuals that played in open tournaments. They were later signed by Dignitas in September 2012.[2]
In 2013, after Dignitas disbanded, he joined Speed Gaming.int as their temporary manager for MLG Columbus. At the event, Charlie was highly praised by the community for his selfless actions to aid Speed Gaming, helping them reach the event after a low-priority flight nearly caused them to miss the round robins and buying medicine for SingSing who became sick at the event.
In early 2014, he joined Evil Geniuses as the Dota 2 team manager[3], where he stayed for 2 years; Shanghai Major was his last event with the team.[4] After his time with Evil Geniuses, Charlie put more focus into being an analyst, joining the table of analysts during the Manila Major. He now works as the Director of Talent at Enthusiast Gaming.[5]
