How Zai 1v9 won $1,000,000+

Has there ever been a more valuable game that was decided by such a narrow margin? Zai's backdoor vs. Talon will live on in Dota history and gets revisited here.

2:19 "Yeah are draft is looking highly suspect" 😂😂😂 This is such a universal feeling when you're in character pick.

[@EyebrowsGaming]

Something that really impressed me during this game: SunsFan really went all out on his casting. As a guy who was seen as a jokey content creator who wasnt that great when he started he REALLY popped off during this game

[@gnooshguhh]

Fr it felt like the game’s hype was amplified so much by sunsfan’s casting. Huge props to him

[@ricardoalcantaracampos4811]

he has being the best for like 3 years now wtf.

[@miguelito0o]

I just want to point out the great work from Tsunnami specially in this video keeping the pace up and providing interesting follow ups :)

[@obliviousutube]

Listening to players talk about their draft is so cool.

[@teamliquiddota]

I also think you're cool

[@obliviousutube]

@@teamliquiddota Wow, thanks! Best of luck this TI boys, I'll be cheering you guys on every step of the way!

Fantastic content, give us more of this, please! My highlight was Insania saying "people watching always say they're gonna fight now because they hit this or that timing when in truth it's just that Nisha got bored" :D

[@lunaa2244]

so cool that these iconic and memorable games featured in the last 2 timelapse episodes are both by the team. really fun to watch. gl at ti! ❤

We'll try our best!

Boxi the Nerd of Team liquid.. Legendary Game ❤

[@xX_YallaShoot_Xx]

Humble Micke! 😂❤

[@Karvanoppa]

Don't see plays like this happening very often as so much has to go so right or the play becomes the failure. Watching this live, back then, was so goddamn hype.. hopefully we'll something like it happen again somewhere down the line! 😄

[@LargeMcBottoms]

This content is dope. Boxi is a champion

[@Trisjack20]

Such as awesome video. Loved the game (not at the time but after it was over) MOre of time lapse

[@adde27]

It's a shame they didn't check out 23's use of the glyph or his Satanic misplay at the Ancient since those two could've potentially won Talon the baserace. But llike this kind of content! Very cool to watch the players' take on it.

[@hudanbayu8624]

no need, everyone know who press it XD

[@_Cloudyy-]

This is like, a whole TI worth of winnings nowadays

[@nikitawheasdey2393]

You should have invited 23 savage to watch that time lapse with you. Pretty sure he would have fun time

[@jongabalis5964]

Their reactions were so nice to see when it showed the end and celebration.

[@caspersrensen8693]

23 Savage played out of his mind, but that play from Zai + Boxi cancelling the tp's, WOW! :D

[@CurrentlyOffliner]

He did hard carried hes team but series of throws at the end undid all of hes efforts. We should ofc give credit to Zai and Boxi but 23Savage wasted glyph , unecessarily dived fountain , wasted Satanic dispel which could have been the diffrence , didn't waveform before tp'ing and give Boxi easy cancel which was still close with 0.3 sec remain. I think they would have won if savage did one or two less throws but since he was celebrating prematurely and panicked he ruined all hes hard work.

That’s actually true, TI this year is now only for prestige but the real TI was Riyadh based on prize pool.

Nice morph in thumbnail😂

[@holohulolo]

Watchers have been so problematice since the it came out with the map change. At first it lights up blue for radiant and red for dire adn i remember watching the first major where the patch was released and players were walking past it and didnt notice it was activated by the enemy. What made it worse was the gems that lit up to the colours is green by default, not as glowing but its green when its ready to get channelled. So it was more common for dire to miss the ones activated by radiant. Then they changed it to what it is now where it lighta blue if you activated it and red if its enemy, no matter which side youre on. And i can understand people still missing it. Buy i think now the gem doesny light up and the whole think sunk to the ground whe its just been deactivated, and the gem isnt green before its activated. But honestly it cohldve jusy been a datker shade of grey and give a glowing auta effect arohnd it when it floats after being activated. But maybe that was i intentional to not make it obvious so people can miss it, who knows

SAP are the most boring boring financial software company.... and they're sponsoring gaming teams. It's so over.

[@robnielmanalo]

how does 1v9 works? lol So he has no allies at all and allies became his enemy? He won and ended the game as MVP but it's unfair to say it's 1v9.

[@Micheldied]

It's just a joke term that comes from pubs when one guy carries a team that's playing shitty or feeding, hence they are seen as "enemies". The joke is the rest of Liquid were losing the game and making it hard. Hence, 1v9.

[@robnielmanalo]

everyone knows it is a joke but this joke is literally a joke if you think about it. Mindfucked. @@Micheldied

Micke not so good at void

[@Intonsizt69x2]

He is a good midlaner idk but his carry sometimes good sometimes not if Nisha goes to carry I think they won atleast 1 major. Micke is a beast in midlane last TI with matu

[@py-3366]

Bruh that was a hard void game. He missed one chrono. It could have been much worse tbh

[@Averymindset]

the worst void in tier 1 scene of 2023 Maybe he need his coach to protect him again cuz hes a pussy

[@Intonsizt69x2]

@@py-3366 agreed void got counter so hard that's why his void don't have impact
