Dota 2 Loregasm: The Demon Lords

[@ICHBinCOOLERalsJeman]

So this is why artifact is taking so long, valve must be waiting on slacks to fill in their gaping plot holes.

[@obviousnobody4067]

ICHBinCOOLERalsJemand they should pay him to do lore videos.

[@williamhansen9456]

I'm sure they will, if he goes on a strike.. But we can't have that, can we? People need their loregasms!

[@Waltzhybrid92]

Speaking of gaping holes I wonder how Slacks' wife is holding up to marriage in 7.10. Slacks' absence on the pro scene seems to suggest she's in DIRE need of a couple of salves and tangoes. If Slacks' babymaking skills are up to scratch maybe we'll see bottle crowing brought back into the meta.

[@lucamckenn5932]

Dota has a good story despite being a mod from a 2003 game. Better lore than League of Losers. Speaking of, they _used_ to have a cute little lore tab on their shitty client they still have for some reason, it was charming. Still, Icefrog and the other writers are better story teller than Riot ever could be.

Gods and Demons gets killed by a lamdmine WTF

[@xilencer8747]

Techies hahahaha

[@SoggyFriesXD]

They are demons techies is a fucking annoying god

[@ardianhesa4340]

Well that landmines can tear through your very soul

[@geromlarayos6696]

Techies is the very definition of Demonic...

[@katipunan4212]

Techies is the Cancer God of Cancer or Cancer²

[@meneerslim5671]

Isn't Doom a fallen skywrath? I mean, the only other creature that has his wing structure is Skywrath Mage and Venge. Doom(the ult) is very similar to Ancient Seal, aesthetically and in function. The fact that his wings were targeted to make him fall says that this realm of light was somewhere in the sky, a place you call physically fall from. Also, something that is quite interesting is that this is in his bio. "Without wings, he slipped loose from the tethers that bound him within the light and he fell screaming to earth." Skywrath can't attack the false queen because that would rend his magic powers useless. Is it maybe that his powers are in his wings? Are they "binding" him to serve the light. Just like what happened to Venge and Doom. They are now able to attack the false queen now that their wings are gone but Sky isn't. What is also interesting is these lines Terrorblade tell him "Are you an angel?" "Skywrath, what a fine demon you would make." Implying that first of all, he appears to be what the characters in Dota believe are angels. And Lucifer in the Bible used to be an angel before he fell. And the most interesting part is that this would make him a good candidate to be a demon just like Doom.

[@psyfozim]

Hmm. Interesting thoughts here. Thanks.

[@ItzMeKiyo]

Good Theory i like how you concluded the evidence from the bible and also DoomBringer or Lucifer is really an angel that was sent to hell, because he Rebeled god.

[@falahnur5871]

don't mix bible when there is zeus in the game.

[@zandromex8985]

@@falahnur5871 I mean, Doom is literally called Lucifer. It´s pretty clear there´s a lot of Christian influence in the Dota 2 lore.

[@darkvistar4213]

Doom was a general in the army of the light, i knw this cz iv read it somewhere

[@SkyMushrooms]

16:45 Doom created the first flame? Somebody get vaati on this shit

Lmao i just found out it is cks horse because of your comment lol

[@tnightwolf]

I know they refuse to do it, but Dota really deserves a campaign single story

[@digiquo8143]

That's legit what I thought Dota 2 was when I first played it way back in 2013 and they gave that tutorial where you played Sniper and Tidehunter was the enemy.

[@dopatwo]

Thanks for this :) always great

[@BidoMaggot]

dopatwo do. KOTL next pls :)

[@mamadu2pro]

DOPATWO!!!

[@aeonno8771]

:O dopa2

[@hexmymind]

Yoo i want apex content for valk

[@WarriorWithin111]

Damn this must've took so much time researching all this and writing down the narration. Not to mention the time it took for the guys making the video to follow up Slacks' story-telling, and in such high quality as well! (pictures, SFM's, etc.) The dedication is unreal. Straight up one of the hardest working people in the Dota 2 scene. We don't deserve this man.

[@teo-7242]

Pudge says to Doom: "You're a much nicer guy than everyone says"

[@krivjeto]

Well ye,but pudge is... I mean if someone is badass in dota,that's him xD

[@fritzgo1078]

Slacks you said hell 245 times in one video btw

[@rottenmango3613]

Wow,your really counting it.

[@extrasooyoung3445]

now that's dedication.

[@bluenexus3443]

Fritz Go now count how many times he said demons.

[@levisamom5069]

Take a shot

[@thesshark1617]

I loved how Erik Wright explained the demon lords shortly in "the only way to play darkseer"

[@tengkualiff]

Sigurd Bjørn Jacobsen haha thanks for reminding us

[@akselik6380]

Sigurd Bjørn Jacobsen I loved how he got a 6 month ban

[@ryanfleshbourne3547]

Slacks doesn't get six month banned though

[@nyb7737]

Why did he got banned ?

[@KamiThulak]

Could the Dota Map be the bridge between the First Hell and the First Plain, created by the Ancients to set an even Battlefield?

[@michaelredwood6133]

Probably bro, and the ancients are the gates to those two

[@chih_le]

OMFG MINDBLOWN

[@Auautonic]

BattleField 2018 Confirmed

[@cappymons8191]

Kami Thulak Illuminati:NOW STOP RIGHT THERE.

[@valelelentin]

it could very possibly be, iirc, in ancient egyptian religion, plains were separated by a river (i think Nyx?) and in dota map, radiant side is just like our world (trees, grass, animals) and the dire is dark, dead stuff, and shit like that. this could basicaly mean that the radiant is fighting for protecting the light's plain and by destroying dire throne, it destroys something like a gate, and the dire is trying to do the opposite, to break the radiant throne to open the gate permanently. if you remember guys, in old dota 1, the factions were actually hero specific and demons were scourge (dire), while kotl and the others were sentinel, so this supports my theory. it can very possibly be the purgatorium, i think slacks talked about this shit and said something similar

[@Manos502]

The Losegasm Intro is so fckng dope!!!

[@hayhayhaybbb728]

[@obiwankenobi7456]

Marm Man what does Sunsfan have to do with the intro?

[@Manos502]

Goya Goya In the beginning of the loregasm series,i thought that the intro's voice was Sunsfan's although it is Slacks.

[@sagittariah]

Yes! YES! YOU POSTED!!!

[@LilacPlaysMinecraft]

Dude, you have no idea how much I look forward to your videos! Thank you so much for putting in this effort in these videos

[@thejcpbeats]

The artwork you grabbed for this episode is top notch, plus the fan made stuff you had artists help make for you is just more icing on this cake! Keep bringing us this top tier content ol slacksy

[@hawkeyesxxnp]

Was waiting for this.. thanks slacks and team for your hard work

[@light8531]

I thought with all the tournaments going on, slacks has forgotten this series. well played slacks, you sir Truly deserve a PogChamp

[@kcd1445]

Could the 7 daemon planes represent the 7 deadly sins? 2 could be sloth, 7 wrath and 6 or sf's realm greed. And this would be the defining characteristic of the daemons who hail from there

[@KMn048]

Maybe but it feels kinda like a cop out cause that's literally just Dante's hell from the Divine Comedy

[@kingslayer4808]

Well, the demons could be associated with them certainly, Doom is Pride,SF is Gluttony,SD is Greed, QOP is Lust, remaining three could be demons we don't know like Ezhtok or whatever the name of the demon that gave BS it's weapons, it could qualify as Wrath(leaving Envy and Sloth completely unknown). And I do think the seven hells are version of Dante's Divine Comedy.

[@Omkar.Gawade]

Sad to see someone so worthless that goes looking at people's profile picture on a games lore video exists. Don't waste your life, dude.

[@barghest8763]

Fishing Maybe fish judging people by its cover ey? you doesnt even know 7 deadly sins, probably yer just a kid

[@kingslayer4808]

Wow, so much arguments over my pic, lol, trust me ,this ain't worth your time guys. Also, thanks for those who defended me(I think) and also thanks to that one dude who spent his time debating on my pic.

[@rhettzkie]

I'm new to the channel so I tried looking for a comment talking about the diablo II music in the background in the beginning as soon as I heard it. Love it. Good detail.

[@AnthonyKha0301]

What about when Sf kills Doom and says "I had marked your soul for collection when you were but a wisp of evil."?

[@darkvistar4213]

Shadow fiend might have been there long than doom have, cz doom was a general in the army of the light then fallen to the seven hells, due to his enormous powers he was sent to the deepest hells, thats how became the lord of hells, and shadow fiend might have marked his soul before he fell off .. right

[@vallecend6855]

This is my first ever loregasm video and damn am i gonna marathon this series... Found a new joy with dota 2 lol

I love how you used the music from the DOOM game in the lore of Doom from Dota!! XD Anyone else notice?

[@NoirLaro]

Pudge did have a line that stated that Doom is a lot nicer than people think. Pudge's Feast of Absescion Arcana has that line. I respect Doom now.

[@awsmstevie]

This is seriously the best series on youtube right now.

[@money698]

We love you Slacks

[@n4n1tf]

Dude! This is so good! The level of detail is phenomenal!

[@CellVendettahehe]

Here's a theory to consider: Shadow demon is not in fact sovereign; he is the shadow of the master - an extension of this being into the mortal plane, but not the entity itself - but has become with distance and souls gathered a quasi-independent, incredibly powerful but barely sentient, being. This explains his place in the pecking order and the inconsistent interactions between himself and the other sovereign demons, right?

[@sandk7969]

Cell Vendetta that is close to his lore in dota 1. Just like AA once a powerful being but then died and resurrected in a less powerful being.

[@CellVendettahehe]

I'm particularly intrigued by this duality in his rivalry lines - for example, facing doom, he sometimes says 'I will never return to your pit' but sometimes says 'the seventh hell is mine!' So there's this picture of one creature, weak and cowering, and another far greater being sometimes speaking through its mouth.

[@cappymons8191]

Cell Vendetta Yeaa... I mean everytime shadow fiend dies, he dies screaming, what if it because everytime he dies, his original form collects the souls his shadow gathered, losing half of his strength he is summoned back to the plain to harvest souls and his shadow is destined to do it forever, so instead of being a slave doing shit forever, he tries to gain enough power to become an independent being and have his own place in the planes of hell and existance, which is why doom keeps telling him he is just a weakling, maybe it's because he is just a pawn and has no purpose except collecting and collecting some soul?

[@levisamom5069]

U mean shadow fiend?

[@juanflfl]

Slacks, this is awesome, please keep the lore coming!!

[@kadyngibbons8602]

[@tengkualiff]

10:17 maybe the horse was one that was summoned by a prisoner and it broke free of control or it was one of the guard's horse.

[@ulquiorragrimmjow64]

i think "the master" is actually you, the player, and shadow fiend is breaking the fourth wall by saying "master, nooo" when he dies. the game's written lore says there's a bunch of theorys people have about what's SF deal with souls, and all of them are confirmed by the in-game responses.

[@FyneappleJuice]

Ale Minetti I like your theory but that maybe goes against the part where he says "I'm stronger than the master" after killing Shadow Demon. I mean, he doesn't go rouge and cast ultimate, Euls himself or something. So, maybe not?

[@sgtelizerjayc.villanuevapa7543]

we are the ancients

[@williamhansen9456]

"all of them are confirmed by the in-game responses." confirmed? or supported?

[@ELMolliez]

If i remember correctly SF, DOOM and all the other major demons, had to unite to put an end to Shadow Demon because he had grown too powerful and the Dominion plan was growing out of scale. Can't recall where i'd read that. But i think it was a topic a friend mentioned..
