Speaking of gaping holes I wonder how Slacks' wife is holding up to marriage in 7.10. Slacks' absence on the pro scene seems to suggest she's in DIRE need of a couple of salves and tangoes. If Slacks' babymaking skills are up to scratch maybe we'll see bottle crowing brought back into the meta.
Dota has a good story despite being a mod from a 2003 game. Better lore than League of Losers. Speaking of, they _used_ to have a cute little lore tab on their shitty client they still have for some reason, it was charming. Still, Icefrog and the other writers are better story teller than Riot ever could be.
Isn't Doom a fallen skywrath? I mean, the only other creature that has his wing structure is Skywrath Mage and Venge. Doom(the ult) is very similar to Ancient Seal, aesthetically and in function. The fact that his wings were targeted to make him fall says that this realm of light was somewhere in the sky, a place you call physically fall from. Also, something that is quite interesting is that this is in his bio. "Without wings, he slipped loose from the tethers that bound him within the light and he fell screaming to earth." Skywrath can't attack the false queen because that would rend his magic powers useless. Is it maybe that his powers are in his wings? Are they "binding" him to serve the light. Just like what happened to Venge and Doom. They are now able to attack the false queen now that their wings are gone but Sky isn't. What is also interesting is these lines Terrorblade tell him "Are you an angel?" "Skywrath, what a fine demon you would make." Implying that first of all, he appears to be what the characters in Dota believe are angels. And Lucifer in the Bible used to be an angel before he fell. And the most interesting part is that this would make him a good candidate to be a demon just like Doom.
Good Theory i like how you concluded the evidence from the bible and also DoomBringer or Lucifer is really an angel that was sent to hell, because he Rebeled god.
Damn this must've took so much time researching all this and writing down the narration. Not to mention the time it took for the guys making the video to follow up Slacks' story-telling, and in such high quality as well! (pictures, SFM's, etc.) The dedication is unreal. Straight up one of the hardest working people in the Dota 2 scene. We don't deserve this man.
That's legit what I thought Dota 2 was when I first played it way back in 2013 and they gave that tutorial where you played Sniper and Tidehunter was the enemy.
it could very possibly be, iirc, in ancient egyptian religion, plains were separated by a river (i think Nyx?) and in dota map, radiant side is just like our world (trees, grass, animals) and the dire is dark, dead stuff, and shit like that. this could basicaly mean that the radiant is fighting for protecting the light's plain and by destroying dire throne, it destroys something like a gate, and the dire is trying to do the opposite, to break the radiant throne to open the gate permanently. if you remember guys, in old dota 1, the factions were actually hero specific and demons were scourge (dire), while kotl and the others were sentinel, so this supports my theory. it can very possibly be the purgatorium, i think slacks talked about this shit and said something similar
I'm new to the channel so I tried looking for a comment talking about the diablo II music in the background in the beginning as soon as I heard it. Love it. Good detail.
The artwork you grabbed for this episode is top notch, plus the fan made stuff you had artists help make for you is just more icing on this cake! Keep bringing us this top tier content ol slacksy
Could the 7 daemon planes represent the 7 deadly sins? 2 could be sloth, 7 wrath and 6 or sf's realm greed. And this would be the defining characteristic of the daemons who hail from there
Well, the demons could be associated with them certainly, Doom is Pride,SF is Gluttony,SD is Greed, QOP is Lust, remaining three could be demons we don't know like Ezhtok or whatever the name of the demon that gave BS it's weapons, it could qualify as Wrath(leaving Envy and Sloth completely unknown). And I do think the seven hells are version of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Wow, so much arguments over my pic, lol, trust me ,this ain't worth your time guys. Also, thanks for those who defended me(I think) and also thanks to that one dude who spent his time debating on my pic.
Shadow fiend might have been there long than doom have, cz doom was a general in the army of the light then fallen to the seven hells, due to his enormous powers he was sent to the deepest hells, thats how became the lord of hells, and shadow fiend might have marked his soul before he fell off .. right
OMG !!! That was so longgggg! You said that its very complicated well...... It was acctually fun to listen to and I got every thing you said into my head and... It really made sense
Here's a theory to consider: Shadow demon is not in fact sovereign; he is the shadow of the master - an extension of this being into the mortal plane, but not the entity itself - but has become with distance and souls gathered a quasi-independent, incredibly powerful but barely sentient, being. This explains his place in the pecking order and the inconsistent interactions between himself and the other sovereign demons, right?
I'm particularly intrigued by this duality in his rivalry lines - for example, facing doom, he sometimes says 'I will never return to your pit' but sometimes says 'the seventh hell is mine!' So there's this picture of one creature, weak and cowering, and another far greater being sometimes speaking through its mouth.
Cell Vendetta Yeaa... I mean everytime shadow fiend dies, he dies screaming, what if it because everytime he dies, his original form collects the souls his shadow gathered, losing half of his strength he is summoned back to the plain to harvest souls and his shadow is destined to do it forever, so instead of being a slave doing shit forever, he tries to gain enough power to become an independent being and have his own place in the planes of hell and existance, which is why doom keeps telling him he is just a weakling, maybe it's because he is just a pawn and has no purpose except collecting and collecting some soul?
Am I the only thinking that all this Lore would make crazy AF movies? Trilogies themed to each types of heroes that tell their story, each trilogy that shows how all heroes are connected ...... Man. Let this happen, to the omniscient god! Voth Domosh.
i think "the master" is actually you, the player, and shadow fiend is breaking the fourth wall by saying "master, nooo" when he dies. the game's written lore says there's a bunch of theorys people have about what's SF deal with souls, and all of them are confirmed by the in-game responses.
Ale Minetti I like your theory but that maybe goes against the part where he says "I'm stronger than the master" after killing Shadow Demon. I mean, he doesn't go rouge and cast ultimate, Euls himself or something. So, maybe not?
dope video slacks :) lot of the art you are showing comes from the card game Magic The Gathering and so has been on a lot of your videos :) always fun to see different universes represented in similar ways. and thanks for making these videos i wish there were more lore stories on each character and stories from their realms.
If you kill terrorblade or doom using underlord, he say's this; "Your pitiful hells are nothing compared to where I will send you!". I think abyssal underlord is a demon from an unknown realm.
Thanks Artifact! It is with your nearing release that Slacks is compelled to release some lore pertaining to the ones that may relate to your game. SeemsGood
So this is why artifact is taking so long,
valve must be waiting on slacks to fill in their gaping plot holes.
ICHBinCOOLERalsJemand they should pay him to do lore videos.
I'm sure they will, if he goes on a strike.. But we can't have that, can we? People need their loregasms!
Speaking of gaping holes I wonder how Slacks' wife is holding up to marriage in 7.10. Slacks' absence on the pro scene seems to suggest she's in DIRE need of a couple of salves and tangoes. If Slacks' babymaking skills are up to scratch maybe we'll see bottle crowing brought back into the meta.

Gods and Demons gets killed by a lamdmine WTF

Techies is the very definition of Demonic...
Techies is the Cancer God of Cancer

Hmm. Interesting thoughts here. Thanks.

don't mix bible when there is zeus in the game.
@@falahnur5871 I mean, Doom is literally called Lucifer. It´s pretty clear there´s a lot of Christian influence in the Dota 2 lore.
Doom was a general in the army of the light, i knw this cz iv read it somewhere
I dont even click on porn this fast

HaHaHA
Slacks MVP
loregasm is for intellectuals.
Same dude. Same
16:45 Doom created the first flame?

SkyMushrooms doom is 10/10 lord of cinder
IOOIOIIOIOIIOOI o

Damn this must've took so much time researching all this and writing down the narration.

Straight up one of the hardest working people in the Dota 2 scene. We don't deserve this man.
Armageddon = most badass horse in existence.
Ride on, Armageddon.
Jeorgen:hold my diamond saddle
Armageddon out of here.
Lmao i just found out it is cks horse because of your comment lol
I know they refuse to do it, but Dota really deserves a campaign single story
That's legit what I thought Dota 2 was when I first played it way back in 2013 and they gave that tutorial where you played Sniper and Tidehunter was the enemy.
Slacks you said hell 245 times in one video btw
Wow,your really counting it.
now that's dedication.
Fritz Go now count how many times he said demons.
Take a shot
Pudge says to Doom: "You're a much nicer guy than everyone says"
Well ye,but pudge is... I mean if someone is badass in dota,that's him xD
Thanks for this :) always great
dopatwo do. KOTL next pls :)
DOPATWO!!!
:O dopa2
Yoo i want apex content for valk
I loved how Erik Wright explained the demon lords shortly in "the only way to play darkseer"
Sigurd Bjørn Jacobsen haha thanks for reminding us
Sigurd Bjørn Jacobsen I loved how he got a 6 month ban
Slacks doesn't get six month banned though
erik wright got 6 months banned
Why did he got banned ?
"there's no story of heaven or god in dota"
Volvo: "Mars, first son of heaven..."
woops
Doom is literally called Lucifer whoops
Yes! YES! YOU POSTED!!!
The Losegasm Intro is so fckng dope!!!
Marm Man no
Harvester Pascual -.... An Adventure INTO THE LORE!!! When the most boring voice in the Dota 2 scene,Sunsfan, Becomes epic.
Marm Man what does Sunsfan have to do with the intro?
Goya Goya In the beginning of the loregasm series,i thought that the intro's voice was Sunsfan's although it is Slacks.
Dude, you have no idea how much I look forward to your videos! Thank you so much for putting in this effort in these videos
Could the Dota Map be the bridge between the First Hell and the First Plain, created by the Ancients to set an even Battlefield?
Probably bro, and the ancients are the gates to those two
OMFG MINDBLOWN
BattleField 2018 Confirmed

Illuminati:NOW STOP RIGHT THERE.

I thought with all the tournaments going on, slacks has forgotten this series. well played slacks, you sir Truly deserve a PogChamp
I love how you used the music from the DOOM game in the lore of Doom from Dota!! XD
Anyone else notice?
I'm new to the channel so I tried looking for a comment talking about the diablo II music in the background in the beginning as soon as I heard it. Love it. Good detail.
Was waiting for this.. thanks slacks and team for your hard work
Pudge did have a line that stated that Doom is a lot nicer than people think. Pudge's Feast of Absescion Arcana has that line. I respect Doom now.
NEXT UPLOAD IN 10 YEARS BibleThump

He also used a lot of Warhammer, like the Warp and Bel'akor

Could the 7 daemon planes represent the 7 deadly sins? 2 could be sloth, 7 wrath and 6 or sf's realm greed. And this would be the defining characteristic of the daemons who hail from there
Maybe but it feels kinda like a cop out cause that's literally just Dante's hell from the Divine Comedy
Well, the demons could be associated with them certainly, Doom is Pride,SF is Gluttony,SD is Greed, QOP is Lust, remaining three could be demons we don't know like Ezhtok or whatever the name of the demon that gave BS it's weapons, it could qualify as Wrath(leaving Envy and Sloth completely unknown). And I do think the seven hells are version of Dante's Divine Comedy.
Sad to see someone so worthless that goes looking at people's profile picture on a games lore video exists. Don't waste your life, dude.
Fishing Maybe fish judging people by its cover ey? you doesnt even know 7 deadly sins, probably yer just a kid
Wow, so much arguments over my pic, lol, trust me ,this ain't worth your time guys. Also, thanks for those who defended me(I think) and also thanks to that one dude who spent his time debating on my pic.
This is my first ever loregasm video and damn am i gonna marathon this series... Found a new joy with dota 2 lol
had a very sad day today but slacks safed it thank you a lot man :D
Simon Weidner aww
Simon Weidner Pepehands, 2real..
Daemon prince Be'lakor sighted 8:17. SirActionSlacks likes warhammer. Yay!
What about when Sf kills Doom and says "I had marked your soul for collection when you were but a wisp of evil."?
Shadow fiend might have been there long than doom have, cz doom was a general in the army of the light then fallen to the seven hells, due to his enormous powers he was sent to the deepest hells, thats how became the lord of hells, and shadow fiend might have marked his soul before he fell off .. right
OMG !!! That was so longgggg!
You said that its very complicated well...... It was acctually fun to listen to and I got every thing you said into my head and... It really made sense
Please do lore about the three spririts ; Ember, Earth, and Storm.
Please like it so that Slacks can see it.
those are buddhist god
Thay are fucking 3 elemetals of panadaria's lore
They are four now. Void spirit was recently added.
Void sprit
Thank you for all of the hard work. It must have taken for ever to gather this information.

the antimage's brother?
syed feroz yeah people who actually played it call it Warcraft 3
L'angolo della Distopia and for the record they are NOT brothers...one is a monk and one is a demon outlaw...U can't get more opposite than that
*IRONY*
FINALLY ANOTHER LOREGASM EPISODE!!!!!!! you have no idea how much I was waiting for this
Artifact will bring a ton of Lore and Slacks is already playing it, so thi means we will get a butt ton of more Loregasm videos, YES PogChamp
SpaNkinGTV fucking dota 2 bitchass ripoff card game go play yu gi oh
The guy who ate a candy cuz he is so damn hungry why are u salty??
kushal naral Dota players: Volvo please help dota 2 is dying pls put sonething new..
Volvo: Ay gub u artifact lul
Lmao
You see my point now? why i am salty as fuck?
Man Slacks, this is awesome, hope you keep doing this more frequently...Really great job, can see you put alot of effort into It.
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY, A GAME THEORY!
wrong chanel bro
THANKS FOR WATCHI...nope wrong channel
dots is life bro
this is by far the most well edited one yet. Holy hell i commend the production team here! I wish i could personally thank each one!
Can't wait for Artifact so we can get all the lore we want
I really appreciate the subtle BFG Division in the background of this video...
Here's a theory to consider:
Shadow demon is not in fact sovereign; he is the shadow of the master - an extension of this being into the mortal plane, but not the entity itself - but has become with distance and souls gathered a quasi-independent, incredibly powerful but barely sentient, being. This explains his place in the pecking order and the inconsistent interactions between himself and the other sovereign demons, right?
Cell Vendetta that is close to his lore in dota 1. Just like AA once a powerful being but then died and resurrected in a less powerful being.
I'm particularly intrigued by this duality in his rivalry lines - for example, facing doom, he sometimes says 'I will never return to your pit' but sometimes says 'the seventh hell is mine!'
So there's this picture of one creature, weak and cowering, and another far greater being sometimes speaking through its mouth.
Cell Vendetta Yeaa... I mean everytime shadow fiend dies, he dies screaming, what if it because everytime he dies, his original form collects the souls his shadow gathered, losing half of his strength he is summoned back to the plain to harvest souls and his shadow is destined to do it forever, so instead of being a slave doing shit forever, he tries to gain enough power to become an independent being and have his own place in the planes of hell and existance, which is why doom keeps telling him he is just a weakling, maybe it's because he is just a pawn and has no purpose except collecting and collecting some soul?
U mean shadow fiend?
Am I the only thinking that all this Lore would make crazy AF movies? Trilogies themed to each types of heroes that tell their story, each trilogy that shows how all heroes are connected ...... Man. Let this happen, to the omniscient god! Voth Domosh.
We love you Slacks
Can't make a demon video without some Diablo 2 music. c; Thx for having it. Im a huge D2 player. ^^ Dota 2 And Diablo 2 are just great.
Action slacks I am your biggest fan
Honestly didn’t expect to see dark souls cinematics in a loregasm episode, but good job they were well placed.
where did you got those pictures man? they looked fascinating!
Never stop making this series
11:40 is guild wars 2 artwork xD
Masdamondi ikr I died when I saw that
My mouth actually began watering when I started watching this video. PLEASE LORD SLACKS, PLEASE! I NEED MORE!
Diablo music. 👌👌
11:40 Seeing a picture of Rytlock Brimstone, a cat boy with canonically soft fur, while Slacks is talking about summoning demons was a trip.
YEEEEEEEEES
YEEEEEEEEEEES with Slacks' voice *
High Quality content, gripping from the first minute to last. Well done kind sir!
16:12 Is that Doom Music I hear?
Today i rewatched some old videos of loregasm and now i am blessed by the gods to see a new video.
Pubg has demon Lore?
Archphoenix1 every player is a demon, the better u are the lower the lvl
Those damned demon spamming "CHINA NUMBAH ONE!".
Dude! This is so good! The level of detail is phenomenal!
23:50 SF set in collector's cache II 2019 coincedence?
I liked the video before I even watched it. That's how much I enjoy these Loregasm videos.
Slacks 😂

This is seriously the best series on youtube right now.
khaled alsayed dota 2 loregasm is the best thing coming out of DC rebirth.

I long for this series of videos good sir. Thank you for uploading
i think "the master" is actually you, the player, and shadow fiend is breaking the fourth wall by saying "master, nooo" when he dies. the game's written lore says there's a bunch of theorys people have about what's SF deal with souls, and all of them are confirmed by the in-game responses.
Ale Minetti I like your theory but that maybe goes against the part where he says "I'm stronger than the master" after killing Shadow Demon. I mean, he doesn't go rouge and cast ultimate, Euls himself or something. So, maybe not?
we are the ancients
"all of them are confirmed by the in-game responses."
confirmed? or supported?
William Hansen yes
Ale Minetti bhis master was actually shadow demon
This video was amazing, I loved the Dark Souls and MTG art that was used
to become a demon,you go to a drug party and have your friend stab some people with glass...
Slacks, this is awesome, please keep the lore coming!!
Vid talking about the demon lord (Lucifer) and my name in Lucian AND my friends know me as just Luci...AAAAAND I love playing Doom...IM SATAN
Marcu Lucian are you one of league's champion?
my name is lucien.. Did you know that our latin etymology comes from lux which is literaly "light" .. i dunno if you are satan Haha
no, you're just confused
I wish that was my name
Lol what?
I miss these so much.
Coming here after watching Dragon's Blood. You are a genuinely genius storyteller, Slacks!
The use of Doom 3 theme. Priceless. Love it. Mad props.
About damn time there was another Loregasm!!! I am so happy
The quality of these videos, keep improving! Keep em' coming!
these artworks and animations were awesome
YO THE ARTWORKS IN THIS ONE ARE SO INSANE
I love how to used parts of Doom III and Doom 2016 sound tracks in the background :)
That Diablo 2 music in between...goosebumps!!!
we dont have enough of this , we need more
dope video slacks :) lot of the art you are showing comes from the card game Magic The Gathering and so has been on a lot of your videos :) always fun to see different universes represented in similar ways. and thanks for making these videos i wish there were more lore stories on each character and stories from their realms.
I've been commenting for this topic to beeeeeeee held~! Thanks for making episodes for the Dota Demons~~~~
Could watch these videos ALL day long.
Dota 2 lore is so fucking underrated man. This shit is so interesting and amazing.
Next Loregasm is gonna be a wholeass movie. We got more TB lore.
If you kill terrorblade or doom using underlord, he say's this; "Your pitiful hells are nothing compared to where I will send you!". I think abyssal underlord is a demon from an unknown realm.
Man, I was waiting for this
Plz make more and don’t stop thanks a lot enjoyable lores all of em
The artwork you used is so gorgeous
I love how many art assets you used from Dante's Inferno game XD
You can see The Sixth Hell Demon (I forgot his name.) in the new Clinkz new immortal. Maybe that’ll explain some things.
congrats on 1 year of loregasm !
Thanks Artifact! It is with your nearing release that Slacks is compelled to release some lore pertaining to the ones that may relate to your game. SeemsGood
Great video and I look forward to see more of your work! Thank your team from me :)
That Diablo music when explaining the realms of demons.
mhh, epic! Would love to hear something about Skywrath, Venge and the ghastly irie (?) Great work bro
The secret is that lord Gaben is the master of all demons and hell, swinging his huge nerf hammer and guarding the letter 3 in his pit
Still one of the best youtube intro ever
Shadow demon is master of all because he got crazy laugh response no one can match!
