[@zaneverovati]

Still watch it every now and then just to remember and relive the feelings I got when I stayed up and watched all these games.

[@hjordiswolff]

Dejan Dragicevic i cry everytime. that felt so much better than ti4.

[@boriboredmond3794]

GG

[@MrPhanikrishna]

How many of you agree with me that Tobi made these team fights really entertaining (worth watching).

[@thescarletcars]

I do, the only reason I got into dota2 was because of the hype videos from tobi

[@micahdyer3282]

yeah tobi is a great caster.

[@UsherCoolOff]

Can barely breath watching this...

[@Marijoa_]

2019 and i still cry when i watch this every time :"(

[@kasmyslav]

still watching it in 2021

[@Thesajlem]

awesome to hear :) i am the creator of the movie

[@a.a.5386]

I come here to remember the best of dota ..especially after the shitty TI4

[@Vorongizer]

ya,ti1,2,3 are was the best.all games was played with soul

[@Marijoa_]

because it was placed on Benaroya Hall

NA'VI ALWAYS 1ST IN OUR HEARTS

[@linkinpandey]

So much excitement... SO MUCH SO MUCH HYPE. My god! This video doesn't cease me to give goosebumps.

[@Hky03]

Goosebumps. Massive amounts of goosebumps. Throughout the whole video.

[@ravigurung5085]

half of the clips were navi annihilating the other team

[@johnspoor2037]

that's cuz of their unique style of play, chinese have a very passive and secured while navi has chaotic one :)

[@zalcandil]

Jovan Sekuloski Hey IG were the creator´s of the facerush

[@yael2417]

D:D:D

[@sidheartgadekar]

Well, that's TI2 in a nutshell :P

[@ravigurung5085]

hahha true

[@TheKidInc]

I still love you LightofHeaven. You were the TI2 savior in so many fights and the turn arounds by you seriously makes me tear up every single time. Na'vi forever.

[@RoXiNeCqA]

How can epic music + toby's commentary make you crying from happiness. How can one game make you feel epic. I can't wait for TI 4 :)

[@UARealtek]

tears on my eyes... just look at the moments after 9:40. Wish Puppey to grab that shield on TI4.

[@TheTrueSmile]

Valve pls bring back the Teamfight-meta. Thanks.

[@RathVantas]

This is such a sexy montage... the character dialogue lines really make it so epic to me. Rubick: "my turn now", Chen: "Hand... of god!"

[@xzinx]

Dendi Rubik and navi with Enigma = best team fights ever / comebacks

[@myTrainline]

It's one of those videos that you have to play on 720p even if you have a shitty computer. It's kind of a sign of respect and awe.

[@stormx9]

LIGHT OF HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@omarhabra6689]

Feb 2015 and I'm back here to remember

[@Dan_ku]

+omar habra 2016

[@omarhabra6689]

+dan__ku fucking time goes by so fucking fast

[@swagen107]

We miss LoH, so much

[@jerrib2922]

i watch this video every year....and every single time i get goosebumps.

[@ddzdangle9289]

Who still watch it in 2019 before TI ?

[@kinggondoputro]

It's great to get competitive DOTA out there. It helps that there are PASSIONATE AND LYRICAL CASTERS out there for the game that send shivers down my spine everytime I see an epic team wipe. I'm glad to see DOTA finally deserving the attention it always deserved.

[@saffinychan9540]

Shame TI4 didnt even come to 5% of this

[@Teinve]

Xboct at end: "congratz with deserve victory" Yeah, if only this could have been said about TI4 ...

[@terrordarky]

most powerful 3 words in the english language: dendi stole ravage

[@yermom014]

Even though I've quit Dota 2 for about a year now after clocking around 3500 hours in it since the beta, it will always hold a special place in my heart. I still watch this video every now and then and it reminds me why I loved this game so much.

[@dimitrijat]

+Grimaldus why quit?

[@Porygon112]

The International: Where 15 teams from around the world battle vs Na´Vi for 1 million dollar

[@MrLycan1995]

Na'Vi is the aegis guardian XD

[@Marijoa_]

TI6 MAYBE !!!

[@arneylinson3171]

Na'Vi is dead now pepehands

[@Andresm092]

I come here everyday, I know every line of the comentators, I love every scene, great game, the best of my life.

[@arannosss]

When dota was dota.

[@jack12yearsago25]

Best Dota2 video ever even better than Dota 2 cinematic

[@Thesajlem]

thanks man

[@ItsHaoHere]

TI2>TI3>TI4

[@kloklify]

Absolutely not,lel.

[@SFVinyard]

In terms of the casting, he's right. DotA is a damn Battle Arena game. Casters need to go back to announcing like it's a battle to the death; and more synergy by not cutting each other off during big moments. The intensity has been lost as the years went on, but I'm sure ti5 will be much better. Not much you can do about VG's push strat knocking everyone off the map.

[@jackstubbs4763]

ti4 was a bit of a disappointment tbh, too many boring picks like razor or void

[@TanyVenutiVEVO]

This is just a little reason for why i love this game so much... The passion of the players, the passion of the fans its just something that makes DotA 2 my favorite game ever, thanks guys for bring this to me, to us... And welcome TI3, cant wait to see what you got.

[@Eslian]

Tobi Epic commentator! the best

[@dansevek7320]

So incredibly excited for TI3. I just started playing dota over the past few months, but I still went back and watched the TI2 games without knowing the outcomes as if it was live. I really enjoy dota, but what's suprising to me is just how much I enjoy watching dota. I've never been into esports at all, I used to think esports were silly, but I just absolutely love the commentary and excitement in dota games. Really would like to go to TI3, but don't have any friends who play dota 2 to go with.

[@DreBird18]

TI4 will be the hardest TI of Na'Vi EVER. Dk, [A], Empire, IG, VG, ... these teams have grown very strong in the past months. TI1 was very predictable = Ehome vs Na'Vi. TI2 = Ig vs Na'Vi. TI3= [A] vs Na'Vi. TI4 will be the hardest to predict.

[@DreBird18]

***** I never said "Winner". What I meant to say is Finalists...But yea TI2 I expected NA'VI.

[@zalcandil]

***** EHOME Winner?. You know that the ehome that go to T1 was not the original Ehome. Most of the asset were dismantle for the formation of DK. . Dk was know like the "galacticos" (Burning, KingJ, etc.) and Ig.Y were in the middle of the reoganization that form the squad that win TI2. Most chinesse think a that time that T1 was a scam. In the other side, most of the these teams were still playing dota 1.

[@zildjandayao392]

Man you gotta include EG

[@Teinve]

RIP TI 4 predictions. The quality of TI4 was much less than what people predicted.

[@sushhhhhhhhh]

that part "Welcome to the International "with the music gives you goosebumps

[@AAAARROONNAAAARROONN]

lightofheaven was a best in TI2, dont know what happened to him, he is not a good player anymore, same story for zhou, legends are still legends thou

[@hjordiswolff]

this video always make me cry. thanks for the amazing collage.

[@Marijoa_]

rip Tobi :"(

[@MrFreakBlizzard]

dota 2 international 2012 is the most epic thing that has ever happened

[@tejasaputra5121]

4:09 5:48 best part in my opinion

[@kevincao8653]

and the stolen ravages by dendi as well

[@tejasaputra5121]

Kevin Cao of course

[@Pavelsome]

1:37 I also really enjoy this fight! =)

[@Wasabiofip]

5:16 is also pretty awesome!

[@PotroMan666]

Wasabiofip that blackhole omg

[@venom18s]

This video literally gives me the chills, i get little tears when i see some of these amazing plays, I WANT TI 3

[@luminewr5469]

[@rajeshkrishnan2945]

This would never get old man!

[@Thesajlem]

thanks!

[@amirkeyrain]

ikr. Even during interview before the fight all his answer is postive mindset

[@Marijoa_]

2020 dota not as legendary as it was :"( Long live the Internationa 2012 .. by far the best year in history of DOTA :"(

[@dasdasdasdasasdas]

I am the number one fan of Ayeese since watched that moment live!

[@Marijoa_]

Son1 please come back for #TI6 :(

[@Thesajlem]

:P

[@JackyCGuitarStrings]

You may check out my version of TI5 which I tried to replicate Son1's style on my KZbin channel. I'm planning to make a TI6 one as well if I have the time!

[@Marijoa_]

oki

[@lordoftheweedy]

All the Casters did an amazing job especially Tobi and LD really have the Potential to hype a game up. Im soo incredibly exited about TI3!

[@ananananify]

I'm not crying.

[@othetop]

What i love from dota 2 is the Commentators !!! they make it beautiful match :D

[@maccyboi]

Can I just cry on how beautiful this is?

[@WoWzX9]

so im not the only one with a tear in his eye watching this..

[@Timmyartificio]

i still get goosebumps watching ti2 highlights

[@DeNzyHalfAmazing]

I love this video. I love how this is edited. I love this game. I love all the international players. GL HF all

[@RafaLeooo]

I'm already looking forward to Join Dota's video on TI3, given the amount of huge plays so far it might even top this one!

[@DoTx]

And today, Valve announces the qualifiers... It has started.. And watching this just hyped it up too much now.

[@tomarongmelvin]

DEYMN, IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR AND I STILL HAVE GOOSEBUMPS WHEN I SEE PUPPEY'S NAGA COUNTER. THAT WAS PERFECT. DAMN. @@

[@IvanMarinov]

2024 we still here 🤙

[@TranscendentalMental]

I get chills every time I watch this video I swear , its just sooo EPIC!

[@Marijoa_]

Long live The International 2012 😢💔

[@samcontexte8385]

Still the best TI video, the music is so amazing

[@djoe331]

Chuan is really a player of heavyweight class, now he's back on IG and they become strong again, ready for TI4.

[@TheCellCH]

I still get the chills from watching this. The start alone with the "welcome to the internationals", so good.

[@BlackCityBlues]

Dota takes more skill, teamwork and determination than any other team based game. You feel the sensation of winning, the disappointment when losing. No other game will ever mount up to it

[@spacemango1627]

1 month away from TI9 came here to watch epic dota and casting

[@doe3879]

I must be watching this on a daily bases now and I don't even play the game that much. The editing and commentary just bring the game to live. Kinda wish you kept the whole game screen instead of the "odd" crop, myabe I'm wrong

[@Mmmttee]

Tears in my eyes. This is game is amazing. Peace

[@johangabrielsson1]

Replayed this so many times now, simply epic.

[@HardcoreMetalPunk]

that video gives me goosebumps everytime i watch it cant wait for ti3

[@sambagi]

I cried watching this. I was feeling them chills all through out the video. This is what LoL and HoN can't give me. Truly the best game ever made.

[@venom18s]

As lame as it may sound all these huge plays coupled with the awesome commentators bring tears to my eyes! So beautiful!

[@LazyMrG]

Some of the best matches , played by the some of the best players, presented by some of the best commentators!I must have watched this video 100 times.Some people like football or hockey or whatever.But i found this more intense even it last less.

[@CarlOjerio]

5:50 is the best part of this video. Nice soundtrack, perfect timing.

[@karosapi1302]

i dont know why i want to cry watching this video.

[@metinozturk2072]

still watching this almost weekly

[@TheLiryc24]

Pi wish the international will be like the pinnacle of dota. It is where the finest dota shoul be played.

[@FellTheSky]

ayesee comments gave me chills i remember

[@SmallOnesBrainPain]

These seriously ist the the most epic dota-movie i've seen so far.

[@Kelberoth]

the sportsmanship at the end is beautiful

[@blinovskikh]

DOTA2 IN MY HEART, THIS REAL EPIC GAME! WE LOVE U, DOTA!

[@juandiegocv]

lolz ... yeah ... crowd drops are for sitcoms .. this crowd was very real .. i remember getting the chills on the game 2 of the wb semi between ig and navi and mostly it was because of the reaction from the crowd on the fb and on the big play

[@TsukuyominoKamii]

when Na'Vi does plays and Tobi scream I almost cry of excitement! Favorited this video!!

[@TheFoxClaws]

8:44 this moment with the music swell and Lumi’s explanation of such a smart strategy makes me cri everytime

[@kaguyahouraisan147]

This is probably my 23rd time watching this? It never gets old

[@renzoanave]

I dont care what ppl say TOBI is the best caster deal with it he knows a lot more about the game than other casters. Tobi u are great

[@OmNiVidGG]

MUST download all the soundtracks. Epic mixed feelings!

[@Marijoa_]

Welcome to The International 2018

[@NinjahPigeon]

[@xanoran]

Synderen has a WHOA sound for every time Tobi says Dendi stole ravage

[@BobStonefoot]

These announcers are giving me goosebumps

[@MrShuvamoy]

This the only reason i love to watch TOBIWAN cast.. He lives the games.. Every gank seemed special because of the way he cast.. I know there are people who hate him.. But i wish he cast the TI3 Grand Finals ..

[@EnjoyIphone]

"Welcome to The International !" - Then epic music come in... that's just a totally emotional moment I've got in this vid. Really good video editor you got there joinDOTA :)

[@zephanish]

[@ranza380]

That's for sure the best dota video ever made.

[@FellTheSky]

he also can say "all are healed" or "a healing hand". So yes its editated, as the rubick párt, since he has a lot of lines for his ultimate
