Between Twitter, KZbin, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch and all the other social media platforms on the internet, you can basically watch someone’s entire life from start to finish in real-time.
And that means that certain public figures have become memetic celebrities, with cults of personality formed around them.
But one person has managed to become a celebrity without losing their anonymity. One person has spent years in the shadows, but is still revered as a god: IceFrog.

A Gkd (IceFrog) saved a decaying world (DotA 1) only to be banished by his own people (abused on the forum), with the invader from another planet (New MOBA games) the world once again in the hands of doom (declining). But the God (IceFrog) didn't abandon his people, and with the help with the Elder Gods (Valve) he once again saved the world and entered a true reformation (DOTA 2) . Now, if a mortal wish to meet their benevolent God (IceFrog), one must transcend his limits as a human (Pro). ❤

I know him :D we were in a Clan before Dota even existed in it's form now and was super small and played Footmen Frenzy in WC3 alot. He is a really cool dude. Btw you should've mentioned he was hired at Heroes of Newerth first and that should be the real DotA 2, but Valve simply offered him more money and forbid HoN to imply more DotA Heroes to their game. But with the veto of Icefrog they could release 1 more hero (they also had Tide Hunter in Development for HoN, but Valve vetoed it and Tide Hunter never released to HoN).
@spaceunicorn162
@spaceunicorn162 4 жыл бұрын
I used to read an reddit post of a guy claimed himself as ex-HoN developer doing an AMA. He said IceFrog used to work for them but left because he was having difficulties to work with other people on the team and also having different aspects and ideas for the game to the leader of the team- who are in the favor of both the team and the company. Also, imagine, you're having an idea, a good one. You look for investor. The first company said: "no, we're gonna have our own game". Then the second company said yes, but instead of let you do your job, they get a guy to tell you how to do that his way. Finally, a third company tell you: "Hey, come here and do it your way". Would you do that? By the way S2 doesn't give a shit about competitive scene and esport, that's how they actually killed the game.
