Arif "MSS" Anwar is an American professional Dota 2 player who currently plays for Chaos Esports Club. MSS was born and raised in the United States to parents who immigrated from Bangladesh. When it came to gaming, his parents were very strict and often he and his brother would have to do gaming in secrecy, only playing when their father wasn't home. Originally like many professional players, Arif did not believe he would play Dota professionally until he started standing in for a variety of North American teams such as Team Liquid, Evil Geniuses, and Team Dignitas, and made impressive performances during his times as a stand-in. Since his stand-in performances and rise to fame, MSS has become known as one of the top offlaners in the North American Dota scene.
