Clinton Loomis, (born February 19, 1988) more commonly known as Fear, is an American professional Dota 2 player from Medford, Oregon, currently playing for Evil Geniuses. With a career spanning a decade, Fear is one of the oldest active Dota players.[1] He was featured alongside Danil "Dendi" Ishutin and Benedict Lim "hyhy" Han Long in the documentary Free to Play. While in Evil Geniuses he won The International 2015.
History
Dota
Fear's first team was called PluG Pullers Inc., and they were picked up by CompLexity Gaming in 2006. After the compLexity Dota division was shut down in 2007, Fear reformed PluG Pullers, but left the team when he was asked to join Meet Your Makers.[2] Fear was a member of MYM for a year, and he left the team a few weeks before the organization went bankrupt.[3]
His next stop was Evil Geniuses, which lasted from March to December 2009 before the Dota division was disbanded.[4] Fear then joined a star-studded Blight.int team, which changed sponsors before disbanding over salary issues. This led to a period of inactivity for Fear, as real-life commitments limited his ability to play competitively.
Dota 2
2011
Fear's team Online Kingdom.Nirvana.int was one of the teams invited to The International 2011, where after an impressive 3-0 record in their group, finished a respectable 7th-8th place, the team taking home $25,000.
A few months after The International, Fear returned to Evil Geniuses, where he has been ever since.
2014
In January 2014, Fear and EG teammate Saahil "UNiVeRsE" Arora were seen as stand-ins for the team S A D B O Y S, consisting of Artour "Arteezy" Babaev, Peter "ppd" Dager, and Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg. With an impressive 16-2 record in their 3 weeks of playing together, the team was picked up by Evil Geniuses as the new Dota team.[5] After receiving an invite to The International 2014, Fear's arm problems became too much to handle,[6] and he became the team's coach while Mason "mason" Venne joined the team in Fear's place in the "carry" position.[7] Despite the setback, EG managed to finish 3rd place.
After recovering, Fear rejoined EG in August.[8]
2015
EG took first place at the Dota 2 Asia Championships in February. In 2015 Fear achieved first place at the Dota 2 The International 2015.[9] After TI5, he transitioned from the "carry" to the "support" position to accommodate the return of his former teammate Arteezy.[10] This new EG roster finished in third place in Frankfurt Major 2015 despite a strong showing early in the tournament.
2016
Fear and EG took third place at the Shanghai Major 2016.
