Incredible Dota 2 Moments: The Greatest Upset Ever (Team Liquid vs. LGD-Gaming, TI3)

Welcome to Classic Dota, where we help you relive some of the greatest and most significant games in Dota 2 history.
On Aug. 8, 2013, Team Liquid took on LGD-Gaming in the Lower Bracket of the International 2013. What should have been a clean game in favor of the Chinese squad quickly turned into something altogether different. Featuring one of the best individual efforts of all time and a truly surprising underdog story, this game has it all.
It's time to remember a game that made history.

[@marksuryaharja]

So this is why a lot of people give respect to Bulba

[@INCNetski]

Ignited the spark of NA dota. Coached NA's only TI winning team. Say what you want, he is NA's staple. He brought good placements to EG for a bunch of majors. For some reason, he just can't get the W.

[@MrTubeStuck]

Man... I got the chills watching that insane Bulba Clock game

[@diarxharavina]

7:06 dat cm ultimate though

[@tempekrpk]

Aloha yep. That ult did all the job on that teamfight

[@kael8762]

we need more videos like this esports! keep it up

[@RezzKennen]

??

[@clarkgilliland6004]

God Bless Bulba

[@OriginalPuro]

What does fantasy figures have to do with reality? Come on.

[@OriginalPuro]

What does fantasy figures have to do with anything? Oo

[@valkyriun]

Nice video, hope for more! TI2 The Play, TI3 Final, El Clasico and many more! ;)

[@SelectClay]

The game that made me pick up Clockwerk. Thank you, BuLba.

[@IceX92]

This isn't the biggest comeback in dota, but it is one of the best iconic upset by the underdog

[@BluBear2001]

Icex Aoki that's why it's titled the greatest upset.... Not the biggest come back....

[@lightofheaven134]

i remember this game and was watching it live. Bulba made me lose my shit with that hook. i Spilled my coffee that time because of the WTF where did he come from surprise.

[@FunnyAms]

he is lulba now

[@MekarWB]

He's going to the Kiev Major, so maybe not.

[@SupaL33tKillar]

Will Burkett and? he's still shit. any teams he joins it's instant cancer. EG? yep. secret? Fuck yep. liquid? lmao yep. etc etc. he's like dendi. one of the apex players out there. Like 10 years ago when everyone sucked. now everyone's actually good and look at where they are now.

[@mikestan1000]

pretty sure he will fuck ur case in a match....first look at urself ur a fucking joke

[@zahikkhan4405]

ur a joke dude, comparing dendi to bulba, dendi is a legend, just not with the right team. he stills makes plays, but everything dosen't last forever. dont dis-respect a legend.

[@dkflnnljndk693]

Zahik Khan dendi is the joke here he is so bad no one wants to play with him. He hasnt won anything in like 3 years and its not because of his team

[@knittingfrenzy18]

i cried a bit

[@ゆうや-i2r]

another reason why TI3 is the best TI

[@kjmostoles9805]

you just cant help but feel so happy and hyped with bulba on this upset.. i just cant figure out why he turned out to be lulba these days...

[@bayekofsiwa5847]

...and now he's destroying teams. Eveytime he joins that certain team, that team's performance would immediately go down the drain. LULBA

[@daus6282]

just wanna say this then i see ur comment lol

[@MekarWB]

Except when his team beat TI winner Aui's NP and swindlezz's coL to qualify for Kiev, right?

[@lgonzalobeas]

Will Burkett But then LulBa RP . And the cycle repeats

[@Charlielinja]

Will Burkett lol implying beating NP and CoL is anything to brag about in the context of pro teams they're trash

[@judahgnanaraj3877]

Ephraim Jamin I

[@kenesulai]

I think tnc vs og is the biggest upset. it was the favourite vs the least favourite with the odds being extremely high against tnc.

[@Devin2292]

Kenesu Lai I agree. Honestly, I think for every 500 people you asked, like 2 would sat TNC, and one of them would have been sarcastic about it. It was completely stacked against TNC but they pulled through

[@sunnyanalyses]

oh boy, you must be new to dota

[@kenesulai]

u must be the new one rofl

[@sunnyanalyses]

lmfao, the favorites losing is not a new thing btw, just letting you know

[@kenesulai]

u obviously doesnt get whats the meaning of upset if u r gonna say tthat rofl .

[@breaze3242]

when team liquid used to be the underdog lmao

[@imbatman5882]

there's always a great moment in every ti tournament, can't wait. god bless DotA.

[@Anteo4ever]

I love how the maiden casually walks and ults in the last 2 clips.

[@carldimayuga6419]

hoping for a recount of stuff like The Play and 'XBOCT is too damn good' double kill, among other moments. honestly tho, the whole Majors concept has increased the amount of these iconic moments by a LOT, so should be a good series!

[@AnimeLover-ri8cl]

Not even a gg from LGD, salty

[@MarTxGaming]

old map looks so plain..

[@Toshiro2910]

Even though i dont like liquid so much nor do i like the players in the team back then. But still this was one of the best games I've ever seen

[@elwinbu5926]

i cant believe bulba deserved all the hates after what he had done before

[@infinitygauntlet101]

The CM ss on the roshan pit should have received credits though .. that SS made a huge impact to LGD leaving them to lose the game ..

[@sanjenyasha9031]

Who is the guy narrating this vid? He kinda sounds like Nigel from Dota 2 Reporter.

[@ゆうや-i2r]

reason why clockwerk is one of my best heroes in my arsenal

[@baihaqqinursyahbani6393]

this is probably that one time that bulba doesn't become lulba. it was such a great time tho, too bad it's over now

[@joeypencil5368]

Why can't the narrator here become a commentator in the actual events? He's got nice flow to each event description.

[@maxnathan7377]

Im not crying. fucking ninjas cutting onions here

[@real1ty121]

2:04 obsidian devourer omg xd

[@dman6261]

[@jflgaray]

[@SupaL33tKillar]

[@davidpardo7878]

[@MrJoshuaCoolll]

[@yokkwizz]

"Back in 2013 NA Dota was a joke" NA dota is still a joke bro lmao

[@pqndagfx1143]

Why call it upset?Both teams did well and try their best to win it.Is this being bias or straight up being salty?

[@laughaway7955]

lol na dota at that time is a joke, didn't you see the video, they lose to everyone else almost every single time, that's why it's an upset..

[@Copperhell144]

Just in case you don't know what upset means: an upset is a match where the team that is way less likely to win, actually won

[@brycebarretto4287]
