When you are a DOTA fan, who watched the game unfold over the years from it's beginnings until now, should probably know all about these.

[@ONEEsports]

Great job. Sounds like you're a true Dota fan. What is your rank?

[@nethermir2169]

@@ONEEsports Tbh I'm not playing anymore as having a family and working almost 12 hours a day just doesn't give me enough time to play. I just watch replays and read patch notes from time to time to still be updated.

[@ONEEsports]

@@nethermir2169 living through the pros! Respect to keeping up with the scene while raising the kids, hopefully one day they will pick up gaming too :)

[@nito_dota]

That’s too right. I did know the most of these facts. Viva la DOTA

No way I would ever let a kid of mine play this game, its sucked over 50000 hours of my life (30k on steam) + tournaments + dota1 since 6.43b

Aui_2000 is also the TI winner that got kicked by the team right after they won TI.

[@nnk9305]

Topson was the first Pro Player to ever get a Rampage on TI Grandfinals,… Topson killed the entire Liquid squad (w33, Miracle, MC, Gh and Kuroky) under 25mins of the Game during TI9 Grandfinals Game 2 Notail holds the record of the most deaths on a single game of TI With an unfortunate number of 20 Deaths (Notail did not win the Game)

[@ONEEsports]

Great fact

[@nevermore.yaphets13]

MATU > W33

[@chic-fil-ashouldopenonsund3623]

someone has to check whether topson is the only dota 2 player to ever win TI on his first lan appearance.

[@jrbudoybudoy]

@@chic-fil-ashouldopenonsund3623 Didn't GH win TI as his first major LAN as well?

Note: Playing against Open AI force players into a very limited heroes pool of 20 something out of the more than 100 heroes available. Fact that AI won is still very impressive, but people tends to leave this out when they cover this

[@wqeasd7107]

This is done so that ai is not given illusion heores as it will be much better than any human at it, your point is against your conclusion.

[@6moonshard]

they want to cover this. becuz as we speak the AI became self aware and now hiding in the cyberworld and you are john connor

[@alsymphony7868]

0 delay ai with meepo would be ridiculous

[@savagemodeii7931]

Pajkatt is also the first player to defeat the OPEN A.I.

[@user-hy9fo4yt8y]

Just a reminder that in that open AI battle, there was limited items and heroes. So AI had lot more advantage. It wasnt like normal captains mode. So techically, it would't have won if they played normally. Don't know how strong the AI is today tho. It was interesting to see how the AI fought cause it was flawless.

[@trollinggaming9903]

That OG vs OpenAI doesn't really count. Too much advantage given to AI, Limited hero pool, and some other rules OG need to follow.

[@danpilapil]

yeah and they were just messing around lol you can see on their playstyle. no strategy at all they were just having fun

[@starjing89]

sadge puppey this year

[@merenlemtor2503]

Ceb won many majors as coach and 2 ti as a player

puppey GOAT

[@JT-bs2lm]

1 00:16 Screen says longest TI match but host said longest DotA esports match. WRONG! That record for the longest Dota 2 match is held by Cloud9 and ScaryFaceZ, whose encounter endured for an astounding three hours and 20 minutes. StarLadder StarSeries Season 12 Europe and CIS qualifiers. 2 Pajkatt's 1st Rampage record is fairly known to DotA esports fans. 3 Highest Prize Pools are also well known.

[@ONEEsports]

Fantastic fact, both are true! Empire vs IG Vitality is longest game at TI, whereas cloud9 and ScaryFaceZzzzzzz is for longest game in all tournaments - at 3 hours 20 minutes and 34 seconds! That's 5 turbo games :D

[@JT-bs2lm]

@@ONEEsports Turbo is usually 15-20mins so that is at least 10 turbo games of around 20mins each. You definitely don't play DotA and is just googling your stuff. You mean your turbo games reach 40mins? LMAO.

[@AKMAHASANULHAQUE]

@@JT-bs2lm Most of my turbo match went up to 30 min + match . Even I remember 2/3 matches which actually contested for 1 hour . There is a tendency in turbo match to pick 5 carry vs 5 carry line up so the game becomes slow boring and long.

[@haziq12ish]

I thought meepo was most unpicked. Techies 11 times how many time swas in ti5 by aui ahha

[@ONEEsports]

That's actually a fantastic guess! Meepo is the second least picked.. at 17 times! (These are only for TI Mainstage games)

[@arnesieper8332]

aui2000 picked techies 7 times at TI5 if i recall correctly. the other times were by OG in a troll match during group stage (they already had secured top spot), secret once and i think VP picked them twice in 2019 and for the most picked hero, that is not really fair. often (as with leshrac in ... THAT... International), you should look at contest rate, meaning how often a hero was picked or banned and i think, then it becomes a race between leshrac, gyrocopter and Earth spirit, while shaker is somewhere in the top 10

[@AKMAHASANULHAQUE]

Wings picked it once in TI6

Where is most ti win?

that would be a tie between OG and TS. but if were basing most wins with the same roster, OG takes the cake. its not as interesting of a fact to be honest.

Who wrote the script for this video? This was a "facts" video, not a trivia questions video.... I got none right because you never once phrased anything as a question. You just stated facts. This is just another reason why people in ESports hate when mainstream entities try to get involved like this. It feels like you're not even trying. Can't even be bothered to make a cohesive video about the biggest Esports tournament in the world.

[@lucafala2]

First TI was at gamescom in cologne Germany. Wasnt only in seattle and vancouver. Wrong Video, bad research. Also embarassing to put a Dollar sign in Front of 1.9 Million when you were talking about viewers
