Dendi, LightOfHeaven, XBOCT and Puppey are tied for the 7th winningest eSports players of all time.

The people ahead of them are: Fatal1ty, Flash, Jaedong, MC, MVP and Moon.

Poor ARS-ART


More impressive, prize winnings from one tourney put the entire iG squad in the top 20 - and that's not counting the fact that their sponsor doubled it!
Yeah ... iG doubling the amount is sick. What a way to make half a mil lol

They need to make Gabe Newell as a character for Dota 2, maybe as a hero or neutral, and call him GABEN.

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.

there are plenty of ridiculously legendary games in dota1, games that now you'd look back on and they'd be up there in eSports history, Jwong vs. Daigo status.

There's ZSMJ as Medusa losing his relic on a chicken snipe, farming it back in a stupidly short amount of time and winning. There's when buyback infamously had no cooldown and I forget which Chinese team, all 5 heroes just spammed buyback over and over at the end of the game to win it.

And there's way more, as I'm not even close to being a dota 1 historian. Lumi has a whole bunch of these legendary, historical games on his channel.

Edit: Sorting Lumi's old channel by most popular (http://www.youtube.com/user/LuminouStudios/videos?sort=p&flow=grid&view=0), you'll be hard pressed not to find a legendary game at the top. And as far as I know, he's one of the few, if not the only English caster who goes out of their way to highlight old, legendary Dota1 games.

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.


I'd say it was far more impressive than that.



Dota 1 cast by Tobi.
Hearing Tobi say Den~Die ... so funny ^_^

I am going to rewatch the finals when I get home. Was able to stay up till 0200 am but had to work at 0900. Only going to go through 1-2 games though. Suggestions? I am thinking game 3 and 4.
I had a good night of sleep.

Look at the old posts from DotaCommentaries and old VoDs on Youtube from CybergamerTV if you're interested in some of the awesome matches from Dota 1. DotaCommentaries has Luminous and Nebu1a; CybergamerTV has most of Tobi's old VoDs. PurgeGamers on Youtube will have some as well, including the last MYM Prime Nations, which was won by a USA squad that was basically proto-EG. There are also some great matches cast by SyndereN for MYM here: http://www.own3d.tv/MYM

ianjamesbarnett on YouTube has more vods. He's an older and afaik no longer active member of Dota Commentaries. Luminous also has three channels; LuminousInverse, Luminous48 and LuminouStudios.

he was playing PL, and I agree, there were many, many legendary games in dota history, though I'd say that this tournament averaged epic games almost as much as MYM Pride Defending Leagues did.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Ah my memory is bad, all the true Dota 1 historians coming to save me.

But yeah, this is the Storm 3x buyback game youtube.com/watch?v=ZBU97rLOU-k, arguably one of the main reasons buyback got nerfed.

And plenty more to be found on YT like others have mentioned

what saddens me the most is that the new dota2 fans will never be able to see the greatest art to come from dota, pis' sf.

ftd most legendary clan tag, SMM 2009 run as the blackhorses of the tournament, for the dream. (after virtuspro of course, and possibly mym, and ehome too, oh god)
