the problem is not Xboct not have skill but his hero pool is too small

XBOCT's skill is by far the weakest on his team. By far.

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)
Aww man so true. I remember someone making a small ~12min documentary of PiS/Yaphets and how he came to be. Can't for the life find it but I found this LOL.
I was watching the Navi vs LGD game, and holy macarena, it was awsome. I never liked to watch LoL or Hon myself, but this really captured me ( and 500k viwers the heck ). Definitely gonna try this game, i still remembered the heroes from the original w3 dota, so i guess even i can pick it up after years of not playing that map

I can't remember any tournament with as much pressure (much more than the first international) and oh my god moments.
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.
MYM vs fnatic also were some of the greatest dota games.

I like how he contributed to the team that made GF's against the Chinese teams people thought were untouchable and there's talk about him not being "deserving".
mouz games when kuroky broke out as the best player in the world, ks.int games, a few nwo games, puppey was present in all of them, he really is the greatest master mind in dota history.

Actually the casters for this tourny were far better than the recent SC2 tournys I've seen casted.
Sure, the production level was off the charts, but man - they were hilarious, insightful (for teh newbs) and didn't drag on and on about random shit. The panel was by far the casting highlight.
