Yeah I can't wait for Slasher to say that, I also want to hear Scoots reaction to EG being eliminated without even taking a series in the main event.

iG is just plain solid as a team.

Na`Vi was able to beat them because of the amazing unorthodox strategies Puppey was able to pull out. iG did well on their homework and was pretty much able to outpick and later outplay them imo.

Thank god for Na'Vi. Without them this tournament would have turned into a Post-Maoist Ricing-Festival from Saturday afternoon onwards.

Gotta hand it to iG though, Thrall and Ezalor really great, unexpected picks. gz!

So I'm asking anyone who's followed the dota1 scene (particularly the chinese scene), have these games been the most exciting tournament games in dota history?

I can't remember any tournament with as much pressure (much more than the first international) and oh my god moments.

what an awesome tournament

not because only of the prize pool, but just how epic the tournament gets. Valve did handle it far better than last year, and of course bigger hero pool adds the excitement

Yeah.Navi relied on the Enigma+ Dendi steal Ravage to reverse team-wipe iG.
Ironically,the last game was also Naga+Tide+ DS.
iG adapted and aimed Dendi head and counteract their plan.

Sleep+Vacuum+Ravage and Wall is a fucking deadly combo.
Play your best

I am exhausted. The prelims and the main event have drained me.

I think i am going to have withdrawal though =(

GG Guys. Until TI3!

god that turnaround ravage-steal by dendi is still one of the most, if not the most exciting play of the tourney

best dota 2 moment in history so far

thing is, he did it 5(?) times against LGD :D

For me it was game 2 EG vs iG. It's hard enough pulling one black hole off in a game. Getting 2 like a boss, That was my favorite moment (and the fact that EG is my favorite team ).

there better be a TI3!!!!

Its got to since there was more than 500000 viewers. Blizzard should try to have a live in game client for Starcraft 2, at least for the Blizzard World Champions since the Dota 2 client was amazing.

Agreed, it was so nice for someone new to Dota2 to have a spectator-client. However I think that if we're really lucky, we're gonna get one in Legacy of the Void for Sc2

First Dota 2 event I've ever watched! I don't know much about dota but that was a blast. Exiting games, great casters, hardly any downtime. Absolutely amazing event!

Would be interesting if the thread could be locked at some point and stickied. Sort of like an archive and with each International, we would add another. Sort of like a timecapsule for the moment of epicness that is, The International.

No single tournament, no, though in terms of plays there are plays that rank up there with what happened here.

East vs. West was and is the greatest match up, I think, in eSports. Whether East is China, Korea, Japan, SEA. Whether West is NA, EU, CIS.

The single greatest play in Dota 1 for a East vs. West match up was performed by DTS - from which Dendi came - against Ehome 2010 in WDC 2010.

Go watch that.

It was the equivalent of what Na'Vi pulled out against iG in Game 2.
