This game will remain forever in my heart.

"The Battle Begin" hits different for us

[@heykimberau]

So awesome to see all these photos over the years. Hard to believe it's almost been 20 years of dota and I still remember watching the first Ti with dondo and the na'vi crew taking the aegis in front of that modest wholesome crowd. Kind of crazy to see how far we've come. So... LET'S GOOOO TI 2021 WELCOME BACK.

[@hairyasian21]

Ti start in 2011...

[@zhenliu7930]

no way you played dota in 2001. Diablo maybe. lol

[@dutasusuindonesia324]

@@zhenliu7930 there Dota too maybe i forget what it name before Dota allstar , but At that time there funny Hero lol like kamikaze , Flamelord, Priest (he like a blueprint of Oracle ) , and of i not wrong AM didn't have blink at that time and his mana break like shaman shackle lmao now i think Dota 1 more fun than Dota 2 cause at that time people not really care about Win just playing for fun , so there not much trashtalk

I do not play this game anymore, but it will forever be in my heart

[@MikeDep]

Old Na'vi representing well, 3 players return as talent, one player returns as the only person to be a player at every single TI.

[@rhyzhyn]

I've drag friends into playing this game, now i have a family, every sundays we log in to play Dota2 till monday mornings before heading to all our individual jobs.

[@asmael4456]

LAKAD MATATAAAAAAAG!!!! GOODLUCK TO ALL TEAMS OF TI!

[@gqn2]

They got an actual FIFA stadium for TI. Amazing.

[@buenvidanadz1969]

The pictures give so much bittersweet nostalgia 💜❤

[@70_Bheta]

This game always have heart in my heart because o i spend many times with my friends playing this games. It makes us closer.

[@artourtiger7887]

who is here after seeing TI11's 'Opening Ceremony'?

[@kennethko1534]

This game is pure. From its beginnings, to Dota 2 and TI1, to the crowd funded big pay days, to its TI storylines and the evolution of the gameplay, the pro scene, the hype of TI, and even the theme song. Just beautiful, all of it.

Wtf

[@lyfed2566]

i wonder if they gonna release the OST of team introduction.. it was really damn good..

[@chaosphere3841]

EPIC!!! with crowd would've been GOAT though. Also, Shanghai was best in terms of performers and Canada's Quebec band had the best music so far.

[@imcoolpramesh]

Proud to be the part of this community. Dota will be the biggest eSports for forever. P.S please nerf tinker :)

[@ascblidt]

If people ask me if im playing any video game. I will proudly said Dota is my Life either i still playing or just supporting.

Not gonna lie. Shed a manly tear or 500.

funny that nigma kicked matu and now only matu left to lift the aegis on behalf of them

The fake crowd makes it so depressing.

[@lucasgasparinsaurraldealca4431]

so exaggerated, it seems like they are being slaughtered.

[@adyadelyn2007]

Imagine that stadium full of supporters but covid is everywhere so lets be thankfull they organised this year after 2 years of delay.

[@crazytactics3603]

@@adyadelyn2007 yeah, I get that covid makes it difficult, but i think a small venue without pretending there was a huge crowd could have been much cooler and unique for the time. Maybe a small crowd with appropriate restrictions, idk. But the fakeness felt hollow and distracted from the action as this awkward ai cheer or w.e

[@Zeille706]

@@Osteng17 Oh sorry, I didn't make it obvious enough: I was talking about the professional players. Non-pro players aren't even in the video, so I thought everyone would think about the pro players when I said "players." Let me edit that for you.

Should've added Basshunter if they wanted nostalgia vibes

Aui probably hadn't arrived yet so he couldn' stand with Sumail to represent 2015-EG

como haran para participar en torneos habiendo tan buenos players , se fijaran en el ranking?

[@razvanispas5890]

I'm not a Dota player, but did all the players who lifted the Aegis at the end were the original winners? I feel surprised to see that 4 members of Navi were still in the tournament. You don't see that in League of Legends at Worlds.

[@husseijnesikeh4803]

1 is still playing and has attended all 10 TIs, the other 3 were RU talents.

It seems kinda wrong handing over the Aegis, it would be more fitting if only OG came and gave it back

[@MrMochit]

Everyone of them have won TI from first to last, besides 2 second I think. Thats why there were 2 people in line few times. Kinda cool, tribute for every TI winner on the 10th TI

[@MultiHydrogenPeroxid]

@@MrMochit didn't realize that with the masks. Makes sense, thanks for explanation.
