[@HayzerSmite]

Why didn't we just win ffs

[@ruifernandes6808]

Years later, with a clear head, and hindsight. What are your thoughts on the game 1 end call? Right choice or should they have gone for phoenix? Or it just doesnt matter because to them it looked right in the moment.

[@HayzerSmite]

@@ruifernandes6808 I've always been of the opinion that risky end calls are never good. If you get duo and mid phoenixes and don't throw, you've won the game anyway, people just need to be more patient a lot of the time.

[@thebmurphs6672]

Twig missed like a billion Thanatos ults lmao

[@sksturm95]

I blame their coach

[@lead_downpour8854]

The NRG titan defense in game one with double fearless into hovering death is some of the best smite I've ever seen in my life.

[@Kracklezz]

26:24 for those looking

[@capurera2]

As much as i remember this being the Variety show, it's honestly impressive how much teamfight presence Dimi had

[@ruifernandes6808]

Facts. Dimi's job was to lose lane, not die, and then come into team fights distract backline. Honestly believe Dimi was a huge part of them not losing.

[@capurera2]

@@ruifernandes6808 There's something to be said for that style. We all love watching the "Lane Monsters" like fineo and benji, but being able to sniff out a good teamfight even from behind sometimes, is what wins

[@protectdavidchasetaylor2144]

@@ruifernandes6808 I mean they would have had an easier time winning if variety wasn’t up 2 or 3 levels going into every midgame fight

[@ruifernandes6808]

@@protectdavidchasetaylor2144 yes but dimi's god in all of the games wasnt ever going to win lane. He had team fight gods. If I'm not mistaken he stole fg against 4 with an ama ult. Being able to pick a losing lane god for your team and not get destroyed and still be relevant late game is a huge task.

[@danielfarrant1306]

Season 3 worlds is still my favourite tournament. Crazy how good the games in this set were that it feels like it went all 5 games.

[@PicturedMind]

Can't wait to watch this video in full. Crazy how good Obey became in that season. They started off weak as hell and by the end of it looked like legends.

It's actually so funny seeing Hayzer looking presentable and doing coach things instead of HayJAMMING his heart out on stream lmao

[@vvilliam_eu]

Raffer's pre-game interview reminded me how much we're missing good banter nowadays. "You choked and I'm sure you could do it again." So much added tension. Made the set even better than it would've anyways been.

raffer is the perfect pantomime villain

[@tylerprime6741]

I still stand by the fact variety should've gotten MVP for this world's, he was the best player in that entire tournament by far

[@hunter4760]

Their was an interview with hinduman about s3 worlds and he said they almost gave it to him but they have to give it to a player on the winning team

[@tylerprime6741]

@@hunter4760 which is nonsense, who cares if he wasn't on the winning team? He was undoubtedly the best player at the LAN and should have gotten MVP

[@grimeychaos53]

@@tylerprime6741 not really, I agree that he was the best player, but winning should be a prerequisite for worlds mvp, thats like giving Lebron James nba finals mvp after getting 4-0ed in the nba finals.

This and rival vs NRG in the semifinals for season 4 where the absolute peak of SPL in those seasons

[@TheSwampPrince]

Hindu is world class. This man could hype anything. I miss him this season already

[@miltiades3639]

One of my favorite sets ever, and i already know the vids gonna be good. Cant wait to watch this later!

[@connorhurley3239]

gods raffer at 35:42 just showed how good he was as a support in keeping people alive. I loved watching him play.

[@BettySmite]

grab some food, get comfy, and settle in for one of my top 3 sets of all time. i'm gonna be streaming SPL analysis over the course of the season on twitch so if you're in to that shit, follow me, or don't, i'm not your mom twitch.tv/betty_smite and as always thank you for your support you CHADS

[@thatonebirtyd5058]

What are your other 2 sets that are in the top 3

[@BettySmite]

epsilon vs cloud 9, then PK's entire run through this year's worlds (i know that's technically 4 sets but who's counting)

Witness the power of Yammyn

[@ryankendall3716]

This is the closest 3/1 I’ve ever seen. Easily could have gone either way on the smallest margins

[@coppywolf12]

It might just be nostalgia but Allegiance's undefeated qualifiers run going into this tourney could be cool to see some highlights of! I feel so bad for Variety here too, easily one of the best individual World's performances. Maybe this year he can make it happen. Great video btw

[@coppywolf12]

Like the play at 57:48, what a god man....

All this reminds me of is how sad it is that ataraxia and prettyprime never won a world championship. And that twig still hasn't either.

[@onlynovas]

Twig has also been at every worlds final. And lost all of them

By my count there are only 2 sets left that are worthy of being added to this series, Rival vs NRG S4 semis and Rival vs Splyce S5 Final.

One set that I would add to that list is PK vs Radiance from this year’s worlds

U set the scene at the start of the video so well every time, and love watching these sets again cuz I smoke and just completely forget who wins lol ❤️

This season made me go from mid to solo lane seeing the impact they had I was a huge variety fan this made it further i modeled my solo game after him and I had battles with a friend when we did 5 v 5 customs and it was always like this he was similar to dimi always showed up in team fights but I was like variety hard carry and be a menace from solo lane

[@andrewc.4471]

I think Camelot Kings could be kind of like this Obey team, thanks in no small part to Variety and Twig. I'm new to SPL watching so this set was truly amazing to see. If Twig and Variety can play like this with BMT in mid then Kings will be so very scary.
