(SFM) The Sacrifice - Dota 2 Short Film Contest - winning entry

We've made it to the finals! Thanks for supporting us guys. It was a huge collective effort of the team and a tough challenge for all us, we had al lot of doubt and concerns that it wouldn't work out as 1 minute drama and wouldn't turn as a good film either but after all the struggle and changes we made, it all paid off.

[@Courroux29]

C'est drôle, des commentaires disparaissent.

[@MaxLebled]

Courroux29 tiens, c'est drôle que tu te ramènes après que j'ai bloqué un compte crée aujourd'hui même pour m'insulter. tu n'osais pas le faire sous ton propre compte? c'est un peu lâche quand même... :p

[@Courroux29]

***** Je crois que tu te trompes de personne, mon vieux :) je n'ai pas vraiment que ça a faire de créer des comptes KZbin pour harceler les autres. Mais ne te fais pas de soucis hein, je n'ai aucune gêne à utiliser mon vrai compte pour dire publiquement à quelqu'un qu'il est la honte de toute la communauté Steam :3 en tout les cas je suis réjoui de voir que je ne suis pas le seul à le penser !

[@DeviantPicturess]

[@jerryberry2293]

Le Doge but so will every one else RUN RUN RUN START RUNNUNG NOW

[@DzinkyDzink]

+Le Doge nah, 3 carries on one team. Their combined netwoth is probably lower than TA's.

[@orange2694]

Lanaya: huh .... rampage easy enough WAIT WHERE WAS MY TEAM

[@babuyaism]

I literally cry everytime I watch god damn Tiny gives the flower to TA. Yep Tiny is my favourite hero, but you made him also my favourite persona too, thanks. I wanna finish my comment with what Elder Titan says when he slays Tiny "Go rejoin the bedrock, Tiny..." Sleep well :'(

[@KartonArmadon]

I'm crying every time

[@Andreyuku]

Please part 2! I saw Tiny waking up at the final of the short movie. I would really enjoy seeing the rest of the video!

[@dota2tournamentss]

So much feelings ;_; ..great work!

[@fmpaiponez]

I thought tiny gonna grab and toss her back towards drow and sniper.

[@aliwz6658]

Mohamad Shafiq if he was a russian maybe ...

[@FrancessFranc]

Ali Zolfaghari тебя бы я выкинул

[@noone-xh3iq]

Ali Zolfaghari if only u are a russsian LOL

[@nemak89]

Mohamad Shafiq I know I would do exactly that :D.

[@Firehex1]

Ali Zolfaghari ameracan tards can do this too =)

[@Evanz111]

Watching this killed me. I'm so glad that you won, it was a masterpiece. I don't think anything this short, especially something about a game, has made me feel this emotional ever. It was actually painful but in a good way. Thank you so much.

[@aaaahdjsn]

Evanz111 Haha, I found you! :P

[@Deremixproductions]

My God, it came out perfect. I'm so glad I was able to help out on such an amazing project. Fingers crossed that this wins dude, I believe it has a surefire chance to kick ass. Thanks for the opportunity again man, you're helping me grow and improve as an animator and a film director in general. Everyone's hard work and dedication was well worth it dude. :)

[@RockSoftCookie]

I really hope this one wins, my favorite by far

[@Gleb.D.]

Кажется что-то в глаз попало

[@flYnulk0]

[@eduardog9618]

[@PikachuEdits]

[@PepperDoom]

I came here to EleGiggle, not to BibleThump

[@sergeyandrushko600]

TheNomenak 4Head OpieOP

[@TPArtemis]

Congratulations! My favourite one, alongside the Enigma one. I guess all that effort paid off

[@clovercantabile3825]

The flower brings tiny back/he didn't die, his eyes are lit back up and he raises his head at the very end.

[@JasonOon]

who the fuck put water in my eyes?!!!

[@Mayhamsdead]

Morphling. At least, I hope it's water.

[@Rick-lu4nv]

Два раза посмотрел- два раза пустил слезу.

[@Rookie2171]

The punch on Troll Warlord has got be the Deadalus proc. Great film by the way!

[@jilliancosplays]

So incredibly well done. This is the third time I've watched it, and I've teared up every time. Really hoping to see this at TI5 (and also that you make more in the future).

[@MsCrip94]

Лучшее, что я видел, прям за душу взяло, молодцы)

[@BlazeDeval]

Damn fake AFK traps.

[@kodyjayvin]

I have always played tiny, almost exclusively. I have played over 180 games with him and have come to empathize with his personality and almost consider him a friend, so this punched me in the feels real good... thank you

[@jeffreystevens8042]

Tiny and Io are getting all of the emotional vidyas. We need one to show Veng's selflessness now.

[@bagasakbar2048]

this one makes me sad as hell

[@Hopohoo2]

TA x Tiny true OTP

[@pudgebutcher2495]

One of the best videos from short film contest, i hope you win it! You deserve it! Good luck buddy, i vote for you !

[@adelynzvg]

to this day, i still cry whenever i watch this

[@danielsemenchuk6157]

У меня реально пошли мурашки и потекла слеза.Я хочу что бы этот фильм победил

[@ld144]

BibleThump

[@PalmliX]

Right in the feels... Great work guys!

[@daniilklimov6941]

[@batatagg]

malditos ninjas cortando cebola

[@Trololo1121112]

Спокуха, у тиника аегис.

[@helbindidelbaum3572]

Beautiful in a minut you made me truely feel the emotion of loss without a river of backstory. fantastic work, hope you take the cake!

[@XC11301991]

This was very lovely, nice to see some story short film entries.

[@supperdzigi]

3 for 1 WORTH?

[@someone-wi4xl]

supperdzigi tiny didn't die so it's 3 for nothing or maybe aegis

[@supperdzigi]

mby troled dieded as well so 4 for nothing

[@Rainh4rd]

supperdzigi u callous sun of a beach :D

[@stevankzs]

supperdzigi Yeah he dieded for sure

[@widemine3694]

Я расплакался...

[@achus93]

congratulations on the win! well deserved! personally my favorite of the 5!

[@IPIay01]

It must be amazing to see the work everyone did air during The International.

[@yorenton]

Why worry if Tiny will just respawn?

[@user-ti2xi9bd4u]

LMAO

[@DzinkyDzink]

+yorenton -ardm you noob.

[@Destroyer120296]

+yorenton Maybe all their memories and releationships reset when they respawn, meaning that while he is still alive his friendship with TA Is not. But he is still alive so yeah.

[@Drakesfjord]

Tbh the video is 1:01 , so i dont know if it will be rejected

[@Fexzz]

***** Its exactly 60 seconds for me.

[@Drakesfjord]

Fexzz Well it does say 1:01 for me xd ctrlv.cz/zT8R

[@DesignEntity]

***** Ya I see 1:01 too, careful OP

[@Ulim151]

***** Its 59 for me. KZbin Illuminati confirmed. They want to take more of your lifetime by adding 1 second to each video so you die before me. Like this they will form a superior race because my genes seem to be better for them.

[@komet5420]

***** i see 1:00 - weird

[@Kaitozas]

him moving his head at the end destroyed the mood.

[@azureaurora7430]

I hope this Wins the competition so touching. I Love it

[@TheLaxio_Sad]

Чет прослезился в конце, жаль

[@Tigerofdemon]

Тини 1к ммр но это ему помогло спасти Ланаю прокачав плюсике и 3 скилл и ульту без прокаста)

[@KaosDota2Ita]
