Watching his QOP out matching a morphling 1v1 with an orchid totally blew my mind back then. I've always thought of mid laner as the mid game tempo leader leading the carry into the late game. But around 40 mins mark he out dps a morphling. The next day i went to school and was like WTF?!?!
TI6 Wings is an anomaly , an enigma in TI history. They came in , dismembered and turned upside down everyones logic of Dota's meta by their picks , strat and gameplay. Everyone from the pros , the casual , the audiance , the panelist , everyone who watch the at TI6 almost always have the reaction of "Wow they win , that actually works. How they make that works ?"
Yeah bcoz he is the only Chinese being interviewed, its weird to said ur self is better or iconic.. Isn't it? If they were to interview some legends like rOtk, LanM, Chuan, BurniNg, super, Ferrari. Then his name might be on the list.
TI 1 Navi, 1st gen Alliance Roster, Wings Gaming, TI7 Liquid and old OG roster was by far the best era of Dota, also im surprised Miracle and Dendi isn't even mentioned on Iconic players :
Everybody like "who the fuck that guy", "OG lose fly and s4", and remember when the pros call him rookie and they forgotten OG already since they most likely lose. Like i can say 90% put bet on LGD, EG and Secret back then. Not OG.
Anna too. Super humble. Super self effacing. Sometimes playing the jankiest strat (wisp carry) to absolute perfection Takes a full year break after TI8 to hop right into TI9 and win it all even more convincingly 😅
@@benndarayta9156 I would say 4/5 players on spirit are the contenders too (except miposhka because he had been a pretty well known player in CIS). All 4 were literal whos and then decimated everyone on main stage after dropping to lower bracket. They didn't even win any tournament before TI and now they also have a major under their belt.
My first time watch ti was the time sumail play as storm spirit and win that aegis. I remembered next ti EG comeback with dagon 5. The most iconic comeback i ever seen.
Yes, that game. I know what you're talking about. Sumail was 0-3 on Storm, early game was almost gone. One good teamfight he gets a triple kill. By minute 35 he was highest NW. Can never forget that kid's face in that game.
Same. There are plenty of players that I'm surprised didn't get mentioned, but none more so than Burning, especially from the Chinese players. That man was a farming beast. I still remember how he made Alliance sweat at TI3, something that few teams managed to do
@@awikwok212 close, but not exactly. Alliance that year were unbeatable. Especially TI3, teams were copying their shit to no avail. And before their god run split pushing was looked down on as cheesy and weak; look at Dota now. How many teams and TI runs can you cite that resulted in PERMANENT culture change in terms of how players understand the game? TI9 Ana & OG's carry Wisp is dead just bcoz of a patch, and yet 2013 Alliance's playstyle has endured.
There's still some notable teams like TI3 Orange, and TI4 DK which shared the same fate as TI5 Secret. Players that worth mentioning are still a plenty too. Dendi, Fear, s4, fy, Burning, and many more. Dota can really make these gamers reach quite the fame.
Anyone remember Ad Finem? Appeared out of nowhere, dominated the 2016 Boston Major, got placed 2nd, then disappeared unfortunately. They had a lot of potential with their Greek fighting spirit, got the crowd cheering and yelling Spartan warcry during the grand finals against OG.
2013 Alliance forever. The Rosh baits, Bulldog's LD & Furion rat doto, EGM pioneering Wisp on the pro scene, Loda's Gyro and PA builds, Akke microskills, S4 soloing games on Puck & Magnus, and of course the emotions this team gave to the community and the amount of innovations they left behind. I can still hear Winter and LD's throne speech word to word in my head: They came from the North! Alliance wins! They win TI3!

My favorite player was BurNIng. I just loved his AM, I watched how he played it and I just got very good at playing him. To this day a signature hero of mine. When I entered my first team, the captain gifted me manta blades for AM. That's how much he liked my AM. All thanks to BurNIng. There is just a very good parasocial connection there.
Chuan- the only sea player to win TI Mushi- Captain sea teams to get 3rd place TI (Orange) and 4th place TI (Fnatic). Also he is one of the players that the legend Dendi himself respects. Burning- the first uncrowned king from China. Somnus- the player with highest KDA in dota 2 history.
I remember in year 2015 when i was first introduced to dota 2. I was playing warcraft 3 or dota 1 as it is names in the RGC platform. When i first played dota 2 i said to myself that i wont replaced dota 1 with this game and here i am now, slowly losing sanity in this sea server but after all these years it was fun and i will not regret anything.
Same I refused to play Dota 2, one day at. Very late time at night I said to my self let's just download the game ND see what it is. I went to heros and saw my precious Doom. Haven't touched any other game ever since 😂😂
One moment I won’t forget is Loda’s saltiness on that puppey+dendi’s fountain hook. Tongfu players just accepted the fact that it’s their fault that they’re getting caught by that hook, but loda in the lobby just shouting “Biggest fucking joke I’ve ever seen!” Dayum.
its weird in none of this they talk about kuros liquid.aside from miracle, gh and mc are players that changed the way everybody played Dota when at their peak
Another beautiful piece of content that makes you smile all the way thru. Please more of this. Man makes me reminisce about all the insane non-stop content we’d get about DOTA before the pandemic.
Wings Gaming that Dark horse hyped me up when they won Ti, They were an anomaly that time, their interesting picks defied the meta that year beating down fav teams. Also that battlepass was one of the Best and The production in mainstage is top tier.
personally when i think about dota icons flax himself is what comes to mind. Big reason i kept playing the game after my friend introduced me to the game
In the early years of Dota 2, Dendi is easily the Face of Dota but he fall off after the next generation player started playing at Tier 1. If it's now i say PPY or N0tail because of their legacy.
Without a doubt sumail is the most iconic atleast for me...hell 15 years old and already winning millions...WHO wont be interested...sh1t the whole world knows him after that
Seriously, of all iconic things in dota2, deep in the heart we want to see Puppey grab his second Aegis. It is, literally friggin 11 years since back then. Their lineup isn't the best, but hey, 11 YEARS ATTENDING EVERY FRIGGIN TI!!! I'm gonna absolutely salty if he lose this time, for sure.
Hard to decide when there are many good teams and players. However Puppey, Dendi, Kuro and Navi as a team in the first 3 years was in my most passinate years of Dota, it has to be them. "We rush B everywhere", that is exactly what I feel. They are jus so aggressive at the time. But it works.
I'm surprised that Team DK 2014 is not here. The WPC Ace League comeback and Starladder StarSeries IX where they didn't lose a single game on the LAN Finals.
I still remember that one game where wings gaming drop an item to confuse enemy when escaping from the enemy, then one of their teammate from behind with invisible hero come to take the item before enemy destroy it and they successfully escape lol
There are too many Dota moments and Team to ever get though in a segment this length, but for me it's TI 3 Era Aliance Vs. NAVI. That is what got me into the game.
Would've loved to see some love given to Fear and majority of the legendary Chinese players. Respect to all of them who lasted long and gave really a good impression on to dota and made an inspiration to these new generation.
This is an absurdity. No mention of Team DK and Alliance. Team DK 2013-2014 era consisting of BurNIng, LaNm, Mushi, iceiceice and MMY were the PSG.LGD of their time. Played a precise and patient style of play with a flashy appeal to crop out their gameplay. All 5 were legends even back then and their legacy right now shaped Dota today. Also, lets not forget the Alliance champion squad too. They introduced a strategy and tactic that won them the Aegis. "Rat Doto" was copied and practiced by almost all proteams and pubs back then. They left a legacy that we will never see in Dota today. DK and [A] were snubbed.
So much love in this series. I love seeing players admired and inspires other pro players, I may not good at playing dota but after seeing this video I'LL SHOUT TO THE WORLD THAT I LOVE DOTA and im proud of it. Kuddos to dota community as well.
DAMN. I THOUGHT THE VIDEO IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE ABILITIES' ICONS, THE HEROES' ICONS, AND SO ON. I genuinely thought there were going to be some alpha-modern or alpha-beta-modern icons. LOL
n0tail has to be the most iconic player for me. played multiple roles, always sacrificial for the team, unbelievable underdog story, went from a screaming energetic young guy to a mature wise one.... he's got it all
I think the original A-God Arteezy stands out for me. The stand-in for Speed gaming MLG Columbus was so epic! He was just the boy gooning it up with the old streams too. That is what I would consider an icon for sure.
To this day. Ceb, Notail, Jerax, Ana and Topson of OG will always be the best until Dota 2 finally shut it server. Got betrayed, barely joining TI8, Less 2 player few month before TI, team lose encouragement due to player leaving but they win TI8. People call it fluke. Especially Notail. Trying to keep his team from falling apart. Still the best cinderella and sasufly and narutail story.
I would say TI6 DC gaming was iconic for me at least, came as unknown team with fresh roster and they have beaten some titans and even won the first game against Wings gaming in Finals that was awesome game btw
Yeah that team was iconic for me as well young W33 and Resolution dominated all tournament and they're even won a game against the invincible Wings Gaming what a runner up performance by DC
@NoobFromUAE dafuq ? He is Iconic to the brim for sure.Just saying Pugna mid or Gyro Diffusal Blade. He just proved everyone that the words of his Captain are true: Everything can work.
T3 alliance with the split pushing, Miracle first player to reach 9k, BurNing AM battlefury, Hao and MU from newbee, Chuan from IG, Old man FEAR, 2 broken OG Lineups won TIs, that CDEC squad, Fy GOD, Ferrar_430's TA, Mushi who gave SEA hope for awhile, Eternal Envy one of the best carries back then, Ramzees666 underrated carry player, Resolut1on still fighting today, ppd. and it keeps on going
The most iconic team for me is Alliance. Peoples these days were about kill and wombo combo and forgot the very title/name of the game which is Defense of the Ancient (Dota). Yes, it's less enjoyable to watch, but still they won TI by doing it (rat)
i’m surprised miracle isn’t mentioned here. the first 9k mmr player, took the world by storm at ti6 and dominated throughout ti7

@NoobFromUAE dafuq ? He is Iconic to the brim for sure.Just saying Pugna mid or Gyro Diffusal Blade. He just proved everyone that the words of his Captain are true: Everything can work.
@NoobFromUAE you sound bitter because your veteran idols didn't win 2 TI's as easy as Topson did 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow.
Now I finally know Ceb real age.
I know it he is ancient.
i thought he is Immortal or something XD
Ceb is icefrog btw. He makes dota and competing with his own game
My heart break when miracle is not here 😔
T3 alliance with the split pushing, Miracle first player to reach 9k, BurNing AM battlefury, Hao and MU from newbee, Chuan from IG, Old man FEAR, 2 broken OG Lineups won TIs, that CDEC squad, Fy GOD, Ferrar_430's TA, Mushi who gave SEA hope for awhile, Eternal Envy one of the best carries back then, Ramzees666 underrated carry player, Resolut1on still fighting today, ppd. and it keeps on going
Sumail is my one and only fav. Pro player in DOTA world! Not gonna change!
I reaaly miss agressif. The only chinesse hc who didnt play as patient or cold as other chinesse hc
Old iconic is dendi,puppey
New iconic miracle,ame and sumail for me
Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebbbb. Memorial scene from True sights.
Old man screams at clouds and wanders the neighborhood in his soiled diaper: the movie.
Is that Nahaz and RedEye clip in official Dota media? How's everyone not losing their minds over that?
Cmon guys, no one ever beats first Na'Vi roster with fountain hooks and Dendi pausing n dancing gangnam style, those guys are true icons of Dota
This actor is amazing)
The most iconic team for me is Alliance.
Peoples these days were about kill and wombo combo and forgot the very title/name of the game which is Defense of the Ancient (Dota).
Yes, it's less enjoyable to watch, but still they won TI by doing it (rat)
ur a rat. whahahah
it was wierd noone didnt mentioned loda he played professional dota in 6.37(2006) and maybe before , even puppey isnt that old
