[@chrism3790]

Wolf Bite Tiny was by far the craziest. As a support player, there was nothing quite as scary as a hasted wolf running at you with 500 base damage and a 1,000 magic damage nuke a mere 20 minutes into the game.

[@tyronegundran4549]

I still have nightmares of that till this day

[@yaboirairai]

I'm new to dota. What's wolf bite?

[@chrism3790]

@@yaboirairai Lycan's aghs. It grants him another abillity that is identical to his ult, buy can be put on an ally instead of himself.

[@RM-xq7gf]

He didn't need the wolf bite to be op

[@abyssalblade7244]

I just hated playing dota that time, every game there was a tiny with buffs, and this hero was unstoppable

[@bluexco]

I love how you tell these stories like the characters are alive! "Tiny wasn't going to hold io back, he'd become his equal!" I love it!

[@user-th4cj8pp3e]

These videos are not just hero retrospectives but also really nice history of the game, as someone that's played on and off for years I love the sections that exist during times I played and loved the game and the ones that show the times I didn't play. Thank you for these videos, I'm only one fan but I greatly appreciate you making these.

[@parham1023]

I imagine the story of Rubick or invoker would be interesting as they had alot of changes. Looking forward for the meepo one: the hardest hero ever existed in dota.

[@bensterWasHere]

Omg I would love a meepo video

[@Tintelinus]

Issue is just Meepo is probably also up there as the worst hero in Dota, atleast if you look at TI lol. Like he hasnt been picked at TI since TI9

[@Tintelinus]

Rubick would be cool. Pretty sure he is litterally the most picked hero in competetive Dota

[@parham1023]

@@Tintelinus isn't IO the highest picked hero? Or we are talking about all matches and not just TI?

[@Tintelinus]

@@parham1023 Probably got it mixed up yeah. Io is the most picked at TI Rubick is the most picked overall.

[@gh0stgamez424]

ngl how you delivered the narrative of tiny and his pals got me lowkey emotional, so cute

[@moeinsajadiyeh2254]

Great story as always. One thing that can help future videos is you can make a short (not short literally i mean take some minute) videos about last TI for existing heroes you already made to have complate history book. Keep it up man

[@turtle-bot3049]

Tiny airlines was always super fun to watch, especially on a creative mastermind such as jerax.

[@bensterWasHere]

"Death is the strongest stun" - I love it lol

[@dasein501]

The video is absolutely gorgeous and tbh what shocked me the most is the quality of sponsored segment, didn't even skip it

[@acube771]

Loving the documentaries. Keep up the good work

Rock beats scissors, of course.

[@gamingforce5060]

This is just amazing , thank you for the new upload 😊

[@sarthak-ti]

I remember for Ti10 how you talked about tiny's talent being bugged and providing insane bonus damage, glad it made it into the video! Also congrats on the sponsorship

[@TheZiadGuides]

I will keep watching and sharing these with everyone I know who would be interested. This video series deserves all the attention in the world and I keep rewatching these all the time. I hope they buff tiny he’s so cool but playing him just feels bad rn

[@BurimMehmedi]

I never watch a youtube video that is more than 10 mins long, but these vids are my favorite, its like a top rated movie is released, grat job baumi❤

[@karlmarkliwag383]

Another fantastic video. So glad I found this channel. Keep em coming!

[@SelkaTraps]

When you mentioned that silver edge went a long journey it gave me a idea, what if there were bonus videos talking about the performance of itens on ti? would be interesting seeing the journey of some of the most popular items of dota like BKB and MKB

[@PoliPantev]

so when you listed most popular items the 2nd item that came to your mind is mkb :D

[@SelkaTraps]

@@PoliPantev to be honest the most popular on dota is probably something like aghs or blink but mkb and bkb are the first that came into my mind because were the first items that i discovered on dota so they are stuck in my mind

[@DKtrek21]

I think outside of boots, the most popular items were BKB, Force Staff and blink. You can barely see games without a combination of two out of three or all at once.

[@TSAndreea]

i think drum would be interesting cuz along the years it was bought on all lanes and on almost all heroes

[@PoliPantev]

@@TSAndreea what mid ever bought drums?

[@Klero6869]

36:08 the task pun got me good! Great video!

[@thoriumbrother]

Would love to see Earthshaker covered! Almost always been relevant, very few ability changes, but drastic role differences

[@Juria1987]

The idea of a pile of rocks moving sonic fast at someone in the second season thing or whatever is hilarious to me.

[@KingHTML]

great content! just hoping for the future, they can include the dota 1 story of the topic heroes.

[@katsukamijo3943]

I've been watching Baumi for over seven years now. Always knew he was a good storyteller. I'm glad he finally made a side-channel that REALLY showcases how good he tells stories. Cheers from Myanmar.

[@thinkinginsideout4053]

Narrated like a true history... keep this up! Edit: I played my first Dota 1 Game in 2007 with my big brother guiding, he made me choose according to the face of the hero I LIKED the most... and I picked, Tiny... Those sassy LIPS made me hooked. Sadly, I never get good on playing this stone giant.

[@LichKingg23]

Only the mad man Icy Frog can make such abilities as "Tree Volley" and "Transform the Mountain into a Wolf".

[@recon2780]

Really love your videos man, keep up the grind!

[@michaelrumondor6268]

hi Baumi! I didn't know this was your channel. no wonder all the videos are so thorough 👍

[@N3onDr1v3]

I saw the video was posted two hours ago. and i don't have time to watch it now. BUT i hope it shows the toss death into buyback stun cause that is one of my fav pro moments ever

[@AugustVonpetersborg]

Tiny was one of a handful of favorites back when I used to play dota 2 for some years. This is a nice series.

[@ssjgoku276]

Great video. One question, will we get Story of PA in the near future? Is it planned?

[@boihpuiahmar1600]

I have always played Tiny since village dota, i risk using mask of madness... it was great

[@ausreir]

I remember that. Great for my scrubby pubs.

[@ravishvirani4490]

Congrats on the first sponsor :) and love the content

[@thisismyrealname3471]

You should do the story of visage and Chen, Dotas weirdest heroes

[@jirehtheprovider]

Real time strategy chen. Nice

[@danelo13]

Chen is so undervalued in normal Dota but so high value in the first 9 years of dota it would be good to see

[@hunghung9537]

​@@danelo13chen is back now. With his crazy hard dispel hand of god.

[@danelo13]

@hunghung9537 why Chen when you can have the same on grimstroke rn (That's how this TI played out)

[@beginendend3094]

52:00 this position 1 through 5 notation had existed way before TI8, I think it comes from HoN

[@JohnRoux]

"Buildings crumbled infront of him as if they were scissors" What kindof scissors crumble? 😂

[@RaelagDidEverythingRight]

it's a joke about him being a rock

[@ags8507]

rock,paper,scissors joke

[@omranalmenem1172]

Amazing video. Its really great how you explained tiny's TI performance and how it was impacted by the meta of that TI Even though many are aware of the meta of TI, its easy to over look the impact it had on tiny as some small changes impacted him greatly. With all seriousness, great job delivering this story, its obvious how hard it is to analyze this deep into tiny's history and every small mirco patch that changed the meta by benefiting one hero more than the rest. And yet you made it thrilling and easy to understand. Keep up the great work, i cant wait for the next video. The strongest burst hero and how he wasn't fit for early TI. Although on that note, you said agility increased instead of intelligence on 39:10, so what the hell baumi!! How could you ruin a story of dota video like that😂😂 Be better.

[@justeezy]

Ame’s Tiny 1 was my favorite tiny to watch

[@DavidGlendaleArdenaso]

tossed allies also used to take damage back in dota 1 days also remember when ava-toss was originally a bug but Icefrog/Neichus couldn't fix it so they just gave up and called it a feature

[@reflection593]

Loving all the videos so far and looking forward to the next ones! Small pronunciation thing. Epitome is pronounced uh-pi-tuh-mee

[@Reesetifer]

It's at 8:50

[@bensterWasHere]

I'd love it if your future videos began with the analysis of how the hero impacted Dota 1, before Dota 2 ever released. A complete chronological analysis would be great

[@Intuition-Orth]

that is incredibly tough to pull off. while there are patch notes available. it's hard to find documented videos or posts how the meta changed over the years.

[@thinkinginsideout4053]

I am a Dota 1 old head and never played Dota 2 in my life but Baumi stories are fine with me as it mainly tell its narration in the lens of "The International" story book. I think mixing Dota 1 would probably make the story complicated.

[@imfinishedgrinding638]

​@@thinkinginsideout4053 Mind I ask why you never played Dota 2? I'm not judging you or anything for I myself didn't get to play Dota 2 until early 2014 and months prior to that I was still stubbornly playing wc3 Dota a lot.

[@thinkinginsideout4053]

@@imfinishedgrinding638 I was at the end of my college years, after graduating and having a job, I was not able to play dota again but kept up with The Internationals to stay updated

[@Tintelinus]

I think the issue is finding fotage from that time, its not impossible but I'd imagine that one of the reason he looks at TI specifically beyond the obvious is that its rather easy to find most fotage

[@bananabread8277]

Tiny is by far my favorite hero and I just love him to death.

[@anoobplays386]

Would love to see the history of the heroes from Dota 1 and how they plated in the WC Dota pro scene.

I love your work Baumi!!!!

[@billards9285]

Great video as always. Tiny is one of my favorite heroes, Also congrats on the sponsor! As a seasoned star rail player, I'm pleasantly surprised to see them sponsoring dota content. PS: Small note. Epitome is pronounced Eh-pit-uh-me. Not Eh-pee-tome. It's a common mistake.

[@jskywlkr]

great video as always baumi!

[@TheGoku953]

What's the song in the background? 47:28

[@spaceistheplace8376]

the story of Tiny... basically its a "mountain giant from WC3" with some afterthought

[@AugustVonpetersborg]

It's a common mistake, for native speakers as well, but epitome is pronounced eh-pi-to-me, in case you wanted to use it again in a future script.

[@avocadoarmadillo7031]

Great videos dude. Very entertaining and I love the narratives you build.

[@earthwarden8548]

This was a good one i watched it all through. Cant wait for meepo. One of my fav heroes

[@opheliayoung1122]

You upload these so consistently, impressive. I hope you take care of yourself.

[@giorgoskyriacou8877]

Baumi could you put time stamps on the videos? It takes me 2-3 days to finish a video and sometimes I forget the chapters and it would be really helpful if you had them.

[@PombaoDumau]

This is the best title. Can't wait to watch the full 2 hours

[@sadpee7710]

imo tiny as a slow moving, slow attacking support / ganker which is devastating if teleported right on-top of you, made the most sense. carry tiny with super high attack speed or stacking a bunch of buffs with a million movement speed, conflicts with his identity as a sloth-like giant made of literal rocks. he can throw you around like a ragdoll but he isn't going to be right in the middle of all the action, super active in fights, dishing out fast and constant sustained damage. more sporadic burst damage that only really allows him to kill when blink dagger or relocate is off cooldown, or just playing for plain utility and standing around soaking damage for his team until toss is off cooldown, fits better for him. fits better with his identity. like i said i see him as a sloth pile of rocks, he can really hurt you but isn't constantly doing it, however every now and then when he finally gets his hands on someone, he can really hurt. either that, or the gentle giant support who more or less just moves things around, makes the most sense. though the super high attack and movement speed wolf running at you is funny and satisfying stricly because of how much it conflicts with him conceptually. just like he's named tiny even though it's really huge. it's a funny contradiction, so that style kinda mades some sense as well. the kind of satisfaction you can only get from a video game with rpg mechanics that let you build your character in different ways to define what they do yourself. but like i said i prefer him as a dumb sloth who mostly sits back and occasionally moves stuff around.
