Thanks for the kind words everyone! So great to finally release this :)

[@taolaMrD]

awesome video !

[@NitinGopinathan]

This is probably the best Dota SFM I've EVER seen!

[@MirgeTreasureseeker]

Well done, pal! This video is amazing. I've never seen anything like it in Dota 2. Fantastic quality of work.

[@exc3ssive]

Really good video. What I thought you can add, when bat and enigma blink they just disapear. It seems as if they have such an ability, but it's actually an item ability. So you can make like they stab in the air with a dagger just before they disappear.

[@Pontreo]

Epic video!

[@Ian-wi8je]

i just wanna go back to the good old days of playing dota all day with my brother and friends.. watching TI with the boys,,, now its just working 9-5 and nothing hits like it used to

[@adylzhantukhtamov8982]

This video is a great example why you should never use black hole without catching Rubick in it.

[@elwiscomeback]

or use bkb

End chat : "Report Batrider lasso Kotol" "Report Enigma giving black hole and no BKB 45 mins" "Commend rubick pls"

[@Xerlane]

BKB doesn't prevent spell steal... i.e it doesn't stop Rubick from stealing it and using it on Enigma (even if the Enigma has a BKB on). He'd need to have a Linken's Sphere as well to block the spell steal :)

[@hitokiriibattousaii]

Xerlane BKB does prevent spell steal lol

[@1lapmagic]

[@RetroYGOJeix]

it's like playing chess while russian kids control all your pieces except one little pawn (you), who watches helplessly as all of its friends go die before starting to yell in an unknown language

[@SoulTouchMusic93]

you need to learn the difference between teammates and friends.

[@Ridicka1000]

[@PinkMonkeyBird]

Did you guys make this trailer! Like really really? It is fucking phenomenal, so if you did; bravo. This is probably the beat Dota hype video I've ever seen.

[@BFHKevin]

It isn't "you guys". It's just 1 man, 1 SFM, and 1 community channel that has to milk off of content like this.

[@WilderCerrate]

It says who made it in the description

[@jojaYT]

not until you see "Flip the Script - The International 4"

[@DaetB]

***** you would never watched this if DC didnt show it, they have to ask the owner to show that clip, or the owner sends it to DC that way he can get some subs, i hate people that doesnt know what theyre talking about but still just complains

[@AkoozabHombres]

Please learn to check the description of videos. People who ask questions like "What's the song name?" etc. without checking the description are extremely stupid.

[@Evanz111]

After all these years, suddenly remembered this video out of now where. searched youtube with `dota movie` then remembered it was related to chess and found it instantaneously. Was lucky to find it again, oh the memories. That Chaos Knight entry with the epic music is like a tense sequence in a Nolan movie. wow. fucking amazing

[@saint2kii]

After all this time, this video still gives me the chills. An amazing work

[@DreadAces]

Like chess, but with lots and lots of rage. And Russians. Oh god the Russians.

[@kramsok]

Actually there are plenty of good Russian chess players

[@TimpsterTheDude]

Russia are the clear world champions in chess. It has been this way since WWII, when Stalin wanted to improve the intelligence of his people by making chess a law to be played. It still is very common in Russian schools to play chess.

[@BJUmholtz]

[@lider1179]

sorry, i meant to say GreyFaec

[@archlorddestin]

lider In fairness, only in prize pool. I'm going to be lynched for mentioning the LCS but the IT4 is being held in a 15,000 seater stadium, while the LCS sold out Wembley in london, in only a few minutes, which is 90,000 seats. I know they didn't have 90,000 there, because of the stage and stuff but it was way more than 15,000. And that's not even the finals, just part of the regional season for europe. Edit - I got my venue confused. It was Wembley Arena, not stadium, which has a 12,500 capacity. Although LoL still beats Dota in this regard, due to selling out the 18,000 seat Staples Centre last year. We'll have to see if the LoL world finals get more views than the IT4 finals, but as it stands, in regards to things other than prize pool, LoL actually trumps Dota as an e-sport. Whether it's a better game or not is a different subject which needs to be discussed elsewhere.

[@DaetB]

archlorddestin the TI3 was bigger even in views the problem is that not too much people can travel to Seattle, also for an esport to have that big of a prize makes it more rentable for the teams, and they come to the game making it grow... well thats my point of view, also LOL has more audience because its aiming for younger audiences and started waaay before any other moba as a game being a revolution earlier in esports, its like trying to compare WOW with any other MMORPG its the most known cause it was the first to make it right

[@imOpinionn]

archlorddestin It's not a secret that LoL is more popular than Dota. It is completely fine the way it is now but it would become ridicolous if Valve tried to fill a 40k people stadium which obviously would not work. Dota 2 profits from the fact that all tournaments are still very personal. In most cases fans will be able to spend time with their favorite players which is not possible on LoL.

Marcsimusus I'm sure the love is mutual. I'm curious though, what do Russians expect when playing with Americans? We expect Russians to play far too aggressively. Are Americans known for being too passive?

No matter how many strong pieces you have on the board, remember that a pawn can become a queen.

I love it when the chess piece drops, the throne is destroyed. Really awesome effort put in!

[@gabe-b7r]

the towers should be the towers, the queen is the well, the king is the fountain obviously, the knights and bishops have the same value so they are both heroes,the pawns are creeps

[@Br1nk3d]

I got a lot of tingles :D

[@Echocookie8948]

***** You see, when you feel something tingling in your pants, that is a special feeling that only us boys can experience. You might see a tiny mountain form near your zipper. People around you might laugh, but don't be ashamed! You can stick your hand right down in your pants, and rub like there is no tomorrow! Go up to the hottest person in the room and do it as well! This is a special thing that we like to call "masturbation" or "hitting puberty". Eventually, when you grow up, you will find that females have similar pleasure as well. You can combine your pleasure to make some of the greatest and worst feelings in the world. You can even combine your pleasures and make new life! Because it is science! By now, you have probably followed my tips and instructions, but there might be something wrong. Of course, when your mountain gets hard that is completely natural, but when it starts to snow on the tip of the mountain then you have upgraded to a whole new level. This snow will probably feel pretty sticky, but it is actually not a huge deal. What you can do is keep rubbing and get it all over your hands. Then, when you have enough, you can lick it off of your hands and taste it! Definitely a great feeling. Or, if you don't like the feel of it on your hands, let your dog have a taste, right off the mountain. They will enjoy it, guaranteed!

[@Echocookie8948]

***** XD Idk what I was doing.

[@shadowgaleshale9218]

[@danielha8266]

You know it's a good game of chess when the bishop can move straight ahead of him

[@TheZedman5000]

I've always thought of Dota being a strategy game where you play one of the most powerful units, and creeps are disposable, easy to build units. As you get stronger, it takes longer to rebuild you. I never once thought of it as chess, but it makes sense- it isn't what pieces you have that determines victory, but what you do with them.

except they never will because a surrender option is fucking stupid.

[@MaximaToluene]

there is. arent u watching. lobby matches can call "gg". mm's cant. (due to drop abuse)

[@adamerez]

There is surrender in team and lobby matched, but the amaunt of people that will want surrender is too small, and i'm also not part of it, I say one thing, NEVER GIFF UP THILL FERRY HEND CYKA!

[@T3DNR3D]

Yeah, it's a really nice detail.

[@ArthursLittleWorld]

Chaos Knight is so badass, but not strong enough, Valve should do him better than he is now. He represents TI4 but he is rarely picked, that's a sad story :,(

[@JAFrk]

Now that Alliance is gone, no one is there to rat him :/

[@kadirseker3215]

That is the beauty of DotA 2. No one knows what the new meta is going to be until it hits you in the face with it because it is ever changing and ever evolving. So buffing a hero simply because he is sometimes portrayed as the mascot of this years incarnation is a stupid notion.

[@MyTrickyTricks]

He is strong enough. When played with Io he is still decent.

[@MyTrickyTricks]

***** Trends.

[@JAFrk]

agreed, i believe the last change to naga was a nerf and holy crap she's probably one of the most relevant heroes for Ti4. Then again she keeps making a comeback every Ti. Ti2 Chinese teams use the Naga Darkseer combo, Ti3 Alliance use her as a support to lock down BKB carries (among other things), Ti4 farming naga split push illusion army siege. That's a pretty darn versatile.

[@ChessNetwork]

Epic

[@robotunicornpoop]

It's interesting to think of how many things chess and Dota 2 actually have in common. This video was awesome, thank you guys for creating this masterpiece!

report enigma pls ty

[@mawhulk]

the only thing in dota that is like a chess is the hero draft stage.

[@joseaguilar4845]

Holy Caster: ''yes, but the game itself requires brains and you need to know what items to build against certain heroes'' .... Just like Chess? Not saying it's not a great esport, it is the best out there, but comparing it to Chess is kind of over the top.

[@mohammadsiddiq6056]

yeah it is but there another ways that they both have 1.tactical plans 2.doing counter moves for the enemy 3. u have to thing befoe every move and that like dota but not for noobs... they are just yolo and feed...

[@mawhulk]

yeah but in chess you do it turn by turn thinking of the next move precisely and accurately or else it would be sloppy if anything that's league of legends... dota is a team sport where you go by instinct most of the time like a proper team sport same to basketball.

[@TheJuzy]

mawhulk LEAGUE OF LEGENDS??? WHAAAAT????

[@Yaxoi]

U cant compare that to each other. The only thing to choos in chess is wether to play black or white

[@ThermAquaGaming]

If there would be a chess game in real life like this i would 10/10 buy it !!

[@torex0]

yeah, like chess board with graphics and pieces simbolizing some characters from dota. OHHH SHIZZZ.... GOTTA CALL MAH DESIGNERS QUICKLY

In proffesional DotA 2, if you type "gg" in all chat, the game will end 10 seconds after and your opponents will be victorious.

[@Asuka2077]

In chess you can also call GG... Actually... Is the game that first used it! :0

[@picklewickleindustry]

Kix 7x They should do that in regular dota2 also

[@ericlai7963]

Professional Dota teams can GG out.

[@kevindillenburg3121]

As a Chess player... I don't think it's the same... 1. I can't control all heroes 2. I can't see the enemy movement 3. reflex is more important in doto As someone else said... "the only thing in dota that is like a chess is the hero draft stage" :D In general I can take my time and relax when I play chess but I have to be very attentive the whole match in dota 2... XD

Reminds me of how Heroes of the Storm buildings were based on chess pieces. Some of the defensive towers still are, but the concept is gone. I did want a ChessCraft. Anyway this was a real fun video to watch. The Chaos Knight is badass and lordly as hell and the action was so pleasing to watch.

[@tranquero]

This year's final did no justice to this great video.

[@Bagfullofcrabs1]

Dota is awesome, but this chess comparison is being forced by those who has never actually played chess.

[@Alon3Mentos]

Actually its resembles a lot like it, as an analyst/ commentator said in the free to play documentary by valve "if i had to explain dota 2 to someone i would say to them that it's a combination of football and chess". The strategy and thinking demanded by this game in a competitive scenery (and not only there) is nerve shattering for some (Lamn from dk recently went to the hospital cause of some bad migraines he is having throughout the international ), and then you have the execution which has to be perfect...not to mention the fact that the whole team needs to act as a single unit in certain teamfights. You can be a professional chess player at the age of 90, but in dota after 25 years...you start to become slow, your eyesight weakens, your reactions take more time, thats why you barely see any pro gamers past the age of 25, there are a few and those looking to retire any day now.

I play a lot of Dota and a lot of Chess. It isn't the perfect metaphor, but I think it fits nicely.

Alon3Mentos Like you quoted: "it's a combination of football and chess", so its fair that u can be master in chess in 90 years old. But have you ever seen professional football player at the age of 90?
