The Curse of the Immortal (Dota 2 - Short Film Contest 2019 - 2nd place winner)

Little is known of the Aegis of the Immortal, and even less of the events that led it to being in the possession of the mighty Roshan. This is a legend that speaks of these events, and of Roshan’s mysterious past.
Heroes are usually the stars of Dota shorts, but we wanted to show some appreciation to a character who has been at the very heart of the Dota universe since the beginning.
We took inspiration for Siractionslacks' "loregasm" videos and the official Dota 2 lore, and came up with our interpretation of the story behind Roshan and how he came to be.
All of the characters, models, effects, animations and sounds (except for a few easter eggs) are custom made.
Please Like and Share if you like the video, and don’t forget to vote for us on Steam:

不朽之守护(Aegis of the Immortal) 已鲜为人知，更少人知道它如何被肉山(Roshan)所获。
这个传说讲述的正是这些事件，以及肉山神秘的过去。
英雄们常是Dota短片中的明星，但是我们想要致敬的，是一个从Dota宇宙诞生便处于其核心的角色。
这就是我们对肉山来历的演绎。
所有的角色，模特，效果，动画与声音（除了几个彩蛋）都是定制的。

[@Youmu_Konpaku_]

I love the fact that I watched slack's loregasm about Roshan before to understand this story

[@BaseMashStudio]

We love Slack's loregasm videos!

[@adroitws1367]

[@twilight3700]

The best short film that I saw in 2019, the implementation of details and graphics on top, I hope it takes top 1, good luck

[@BetaFury]

[@randiramdhan]

[@MehrRecht]

This should be the intro for the first multiplayer online Match. Freaking awesome!

[@BaseMashStudio]

Thank you so much!

THIS IS THE GREATEST DOTA 2 SHORTFILM I HAVE SEEN TO DATE ... YOU GUYS ARE MOST DEFINITELY WINNING THIS YEAR ! ,That is professional quality work right there

[@cuakevinlex]

This deserves to win

[@PenitentExile]

I'm so tilted shitty "Path of Vengeance" won the contest over this. This has so much more story and is so much more epic. Hoping to see you taking part in the next TI contest.

[@BaseMashStudio]

Thanks for the support! If we make one next year we will try to make an even better one :)

[@Tamarizz]

I know right?!

[@MaxAveris]

The only reason Path of Vengeance won was cus people saw tits lol

[@ghoziakbar6410]

Whoever deliver those line deserve a aegis of champion

[@KierrNobody]

This is the best cinematics/SFM DotA video I have ever seen. This is actually insane. I always loved Rosh's lore

[@jaysonmartin1542]

I bet this wasn't made in sfm, either maya or blender I guess

[@BaseMashStudio]

Thanks a lot for the support! Glad you like it! We love Rosh as well - really mysterious lore :)

[@BaseMashStudio]

@@jaysonmartin1542 Yes, you're right! Maya among other programs :)

[@hosuemm57]

Without reading the title, you might think this is an official cinematic movie from dota itself. The animation, story, voiceovers is just superb! 💯

[@nickogutierrez9115]

This is very nice Lorewise they follow the story very well Animation was very nice Certified winner

[@widya2550]

Watch in 144p, still looks pretty good

[@BaseMashStudio]

LOL

[@MyLittleDahie]

lol its even the true story of Roshan, nice one

[@whooop2597]

surprised that roshan didn't die from hundreds of spark wraiths btw great work, love it

[@Laddima222]

10/10, I'm like 99 percent you guys are going to win this year. Thanks for such a good video!

[@rickyleonardi7605]

You're gonna win this year bud, damn look at those animations and lighting

[@lurzkiee0589]

"Until they feel the WRATH OF ROSHAN!! and also get some cheeese"

[@Pohka]

Best I've seen so far, the reflection of the ageis in the eye of the smeaval reminded me of smeagal from lord of the rings

[@BaseMashStudio]

Thank you for noticing the details!

[@xilreb9447]

Pohka!!!!

[@taksataka]

Yes brother sfm with a touch of lore plus godlike graphic. Defo worth the vote.

[@azwardoitsu]

[@BaseMashStudio]

@@azwardoitsu Thank you so much! If we make one next year, we will try harder and hopefully we get that 1st place! :) thanks again for all the love!

[@Rangiani]

Srećno! :D Thumbs up!

[@Dio_Brando76767]

@SirActionSlacks was Right ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!

[@chichan9013]

I never knew the story of Roshan until now.! I wonder if Zeus is one of those Gods who cursed him.

[@MasDoeL]

Aegis of Immortal is based on Zeus's Aegis shield, so it's pretty much clear its Greek Pantheon God Whether its Athena or Zeus my guess, since Zeus gave the Shield to his daughter Athena lol

[@Elinoo93]

This animation is so good! Good luck

[@joseffani]

So far this is the best I hope this video win the ti9

[@yashivdussoye3772]

I need more of these Great job btw!

[@BaseMashStudio]

Thank you so much! Yes, he is :)

[@mr.nobody896]

Even after a year...I still feel this is a good one

[@18emdy]

This should be the 1st place, I would never understand the judges for this contest.

[@yosh5432]

Greatest sfm ive seen so far. Bravo

[@NastoSwagsto]

You guys should have give credit to Slacks. This is straight from his loregasm, anyway great animation guys. I hope you guys will win.

[@BaseMashStudio]

Yes! We are very open about that! We for sure got inspired by his loregasm videos :) He seemed to like our interpretation, so we are really happy about that :) And thanks!

[@rievalnp]

[@sasaradunovic8509]

Great work guys. This is truly stunning. Absolute winner!!!! Cant wait for another piece of your work. Finally someone does it the way its supposed to be. Bravo za ekipu!!!!!!

[@denkat696]

It felt like the original lore of roshan. Bery nice.

[@chenwoongcipriano5481]

This was firee!

[@Fox66du76]

This is such a good movie, on one hand it sets the bar so high... but on the other there were 30 people behind that project. I can't help but to feel sorry for the independent animators out there who also compete. As they say, don't hate the players, hate the game

[@jersonsara5277]

Great work!! Rooting for this! Congratulations in advance!

[@firewatch9224]

Everyone: Roshan Japan: Gojira

[@aryaviryasuryana2824]
