I had no idea fatal1ty actually won big prizes, or that big prizes even existed in Quake 3. :o

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

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)


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

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.


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.

Oh shit.

IdrA was so inspired by the International that he got DeMoN to give him a beta key.

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.

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


There already is. He's called Pudge.

Chinese carries set the bar too high.

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.

All in all, Dota 2 > SC2 in casting terms.

Congrats iG!! Na'vi LGD and iG all played so well, if things had gone a little different any of them could have won.
