This shows how insanely good Ceb is at giving speeches. He always says the right thing that the players need. I'm pretty sure they'd crumble easily if Ceb wasn't there to hype up their minds.
Also notice how Ceb always tells the guys to have fun. Sure they need to play seriously to win but he's also telling them to not let the pressure get to them.
Ceb and N0tail experience really showed in TI8 and TI9. They were veteran players, some people even thought both of them would never win a huge tournament. When Ceb was still 7ckingMad, noone believed in him and his team. When he joined OG, people said that if he was a coach it was ok, but as a player it was a meme. But they prevailed. For me, it's not a history about OG going through the losers bracket, it's not about winning a tournament. It's all about proving yourself you are relevant, you are one of the best, all you did was not useless. Topson, ana and Jerax were huge, but N0tail and Ceb had a decade of professional DotA, 10 years of people talking shit about them, and in that moment, it felt like a huge burden had left N0tail's shoulder. He has proven to himself that he could do it, and it was fucking beautiful.
@@lucaxtshotting2378 not true at all. The most important thing is your mind and self esteem to keep up with the pressure. A simple speach will make the difference between win or lose,not 15min practice cuz these guys all have 10K+ hours in dota each and 15m practice is absolutely nothing to them.(not even 24hours are anything new). If u are at the finals with your team what do you need, 15min practice or 15min of good energy,cheering up,mental preperation and encouragement? Yeah now you understand. We are humans,not robots. We need those mental resets.

I think for any western team mental>mechanical, dont wanna delve too deep into asians cuz im not one and i have hard time relating to their cultures and mindsets sometimes.
The most impressive thing about this is Topson. He went from a pubstar to a TI winner in the span of a few months. A guy who plays dota for 10+ hours a day into an actual millionaire. I'm guessing Topson is probably pretty nervous with this being his first LAN and a TI at that. In the following year, you could tell that they mastered their team's playstyle and Topson's confidence clearly shows. Hoping to see the TI9 Truesight reaction

I'd recommend watching a few of these matches in full as well Grubby whenever you get a chance.

Still the best True Sight so far.

There are so many stories in this win its incredible and then they are playing against PSG twice and beating them twice, like nobody would have imagined that, nobody. PSG lost FIVE maps at mainstage, and all those 5 losses were to OG. They didnt lose a single map. This is basically impossible to top off. TI9 was just OG dumpstering everyone they were head and shoulders above everyone. But TI8, was the biggest cinederella story in esports history
watched Grubby vs Moon in WC3 when I was a kid, went to Vancouver to see TI8 and cried for LGD's loss. And now watching Grubby reacting on the same match I had the most emotions, man what a world I'm living in.
This really cements morale and shot calling in high stakes team tourneys. You can have all the best players in position, be the best team, be the overwhelming favorite, and still come up short.
@@MWTan-nr6zl It really did matter a lot, when everyone is pretty much maxed out in terms of knowledge and teamplay, the mental aspect makes the difference
@@lucaxtshotting2378 if you’ve ever played a 1 hour 30 min long game of dota you’d understand lol it requires so much focus and can get extremely stressful. Especially in a best of 5 series.

@@lucaxtshotting2378 This is like saying that the chess world championship games is still "just a table top game" while disregarding the fact that those players blow through literally thousand+ calories over 6.5 hours of intense thinking and stress.

I've been watching this life at my computer at home. From vancouver to switzerland i could feel everything. The pressure, the energy in the hall, the highs the lows. This was nerfe wrecking even for me. But on the other hand it was like living in a dream. It was like spectating a miracle coming true. From game to game i started to believe more and more. Against all the odds, go in and get it done! The best cinderella story in e-sports history, truly! And a team of absolute charismatic, charming and friendly guys as winner. These dudes felt like brothers to me after just watching this whole life from my monitor. Incredible. Cant really put in words ❤❤
Grubby thank you so much for uploading these to UA-cam! As an Australia downunderman, I can't watch your streams live, because you stream when I'm asleep. At best, I wake up at the tail ends of your stream. I try to catch up by watching the VODs, but some days are busier than others. I will try to catch you live on the A-Z challenge when you're about to play my favorite Heroes, just gotta predict when and set alarms accordingly!
I’ve been a Notail fan since he was playing mid in HON and I’ve supported his teams from the start. I remember placing OG as the winning team in my TI4 battle pass. You wouldn’t believe the joy the TI8 win gave me. And this true sight hit me right in the feels. I’ve watched it so many times😭😭 From a collapsed team making it through open qualifiers to the win!!
I'm not a Dota player but I instantly become a fan after this! 🔥❤️the amount of trust, friendship and love in both team especially OG is just real! And they got another ti the following year is just amazing! No one can beat a team forged by fortitude!
That ending makes me cry every time man. To have your mind set on one goal for over a decade, and to finally do it after grueling back-steps and defeat. Just so good
TI8 finals was just so amazing. Two awesome teams slugging it out. Leaving nothing on the table. And the story of OG's team being ripped to shambles and having to piece this team together for TI just adds so much more punch to the story.
I really respect Grubby's decision to watch the Truesights first before watching the redbull documentary for impartial sake. Even as an OG fan myself, the Truesights do a better job of showing not only the highlights of the winners, but the struggles and the pain of loss.
But the redbull documentary was about OG how they're formed and all the hardships they had to face to qualify for TI, and then winning it. It doesn't showcase other teams because it's about them
You are showing such heart, and such positivity for this game. You are going to be such a positive influence on this game, and hopefully inspire many people to actually overcome themselves and start checking it out. I have played thousands of hours of dota on wc3, but never made the jump to dota 2, it has just been so intimidating. But thanks to your videos and your attitude, I think I will be giving it another try! All the best, Grubby, and thank you so much for your videos!
If you want someone to play with, I'm getting back into the game after the break. So we could learn together. I try to take a pretty casual approach and keep things positive.
i have shown True Sight (various ones) to lots of friends that don't play Dota and without exception they are completely blown away. The emotions, the HYPE, the crowd the comebacks, the personal stories, and the plays.....omg the plays - and one last thing.....lets not forget the casters. The commentary in these games is SOOOOO on point its unbelievable. Long live Dota. Best game on the planet - period. Grub if you get a moment try to watch the first one featuring Dendi - where it all started.
ana's PL performance in game 4 was god tier, especially at this fight 34:30. I watched the player perspective and the way he swiftly micro-ing illusions was just top of the class, and don't forget the secret shop selling items for buyback golds.
I've watched this many times, was always able to hold it in. But, seeing someone tear up at that moment... I can't. You deserve a comment. Thanks for the upload.
I can never hold my tears watching these esport movies... as I used to play starcraft 2 on very high lvl (grandmaster) and always wanted to be part of it but I could never qualify for anything because I was just way too stressed, it was always my dream but it still gave me a lot to my personality and the way I use brain on day-to-day things... I am still successful in life even I failed at esports but I would never say I wasted time trying. ♥ esports
I was at this TI. It was one of the most memorable events I have ever been to. The energy in the facility was so high during the finals it was insane. I would love more people to experience it.
Grubby I did not know about you before but watching you learn to play dota and now watching true sight, you give commentary with a "been there done that" flavor that I've never experienced and after watching this for the 20th time I still thoroughly enjoyed watching it all over again here. Thank you for joining the Dota community.
TI8 Grand Finals - OG vs PSG.LGD is the greatest TI finals game, overtaking the TI3. Let me tell you about the teams playing. PSG.LGD - the Chinese powerhouse that many people expect to win TI. Also there is this pattern where Chinese teams win TI in even years (TI2 - IG, TI4 - Newbee, TI6 - Wings Gaming). We can say that they have the best odds is winning the tournament. OG - the team that is ranked last in the odds of winning TI since they just formed their new roster a few months prior to this event. Many expected that they will go down early, but they exceeded people's expectations and went to go on the finals. Watch the Redbull video entitled "OG's comeback to win DOTA 2's TI8 | Against The Odds". Also watch the TI9 True Sight.
it's really wholesome to see how passionate you are about dota, i've been loving all the content. this true sight is still my favorite of all time, the one after it was quite good too.
OG were so broken in Ti8 that everyone believed they would just drop straight out, but they went to the grand finals, against the known to be strongest team and favorites to win it all, against all odds, won the whole thing. its the most awe inspiring stories ever, from a brother's betrayal, Notail pulled their dream out of the abyss with Ceb to help carry the weight with him. in comes Ti9 and OG just went godmode and dumstered everyone proving their win wasn't just a fluke. the power of friendship indeed, that's why it was just absolutely sad to see this roster go especially with the pandemic coming in.
Ceb is unreplaceable for OG, he is a huge motivator for OG and specially for the new generation of OG. That's why I loved watching Grubby back in wc3! Now we have both Grubby and Ceb together in dota2! Amazing era!
I'm so glad that you're getting into dota 2 and the International content, truly inspiring stuff. 5300+ hours in and I genuinely think my life would be far duller than it is by a great measure. Can't wait to see your reactions/opinions on the current International going on in the coming couple months of the battle pass for 2022.
Ahh Grubby getting emotional! You're such a nice guy! I've watched you from when you were playing war3(old version), war3 remastered and now dota. Keep up the videos/streaming, you are great! You deserve all the best!
So far the best reaction I"ve seen for truesight ti 8. He was observing and taking it all in and trying to understand the emotions of both OG and PSG.LGD.
Little known fact. Ceb picked axe last in a scrim with OG. He fed so hard. Jerax was kinda not feeling the pick after that scrim but trusted ceb enough that he was gonna make it work.
Great to see Grubby venture into new games, I know Grubby since forever through friends having played WC3 but I never watched him really, same with hots. But awesome to see you getting out of your comfort zone, such a likeable guy! Enjoy all the games :)
At the end, you could see, feel, yet imagine what Manuel was thinking, which echoes of the past lingers in his mind while he was at his prime, wcg champ and every thing he managed to win and maybe, I'm not sure, but he dreamed about to lift the Aegis for him self. Me for sure, would love to see you, you Netherland icon at the stage of a TI final. Only the best for you and your family and a big thanks for decades of entertainment you delivered to me. Sincerely, Hinni from Germany
I really enjoyed watching this again and with the perspective of another pro in an adjacent game. They're all such characters and the fantastic editing on the documentary let's that all shine through. Makes me tear up ;_;
32:42 "ESPORTS HEADSHAKE" xD even the Grubby knows this game was OVER! lol i think this is the best TI finals i've watched, you cant really see how epic these game were in this short highlights... OG was losing 2-1 and in game 4 it was alrdy 40 min, lost 2 full lanes of barracks, notail was literally running down mid to suicide, just to pull a creep wave a little more from the base ( to keep the backdoor protection ) and then Ana the PL took lvl 25 defensive talent that was not meta at all, it was an IMPOSSIBLE comeback, game lasted like 80 min or so, and then they won like 3-4 fights in a row and won the whole finals....
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the doppelganger cd reduction talent wasn't picked much not so because it wasn't Meta, it was just too situational in the eyes of most people granted I really don't know the other lvl 25 talent back then(probably a DPS)oriented one. I do agree though that game 4 was nuts and I absolutely believe it's the best game of the entire ti8 tourney(hard choice between it and Upper bracket game 3).
Huh? That talent was theeta everywhere above 4k mmr. Picked every game because the alternative was crit that gave you 30% dps increase - good but dps wasn't the big problem and was fixable by items
The thing that get unexposed in game 4 is the Morph - PL bug LGD plays morph again PL several time because it can create similar chaos. But the thing is one bug is existed. When you are morphling use morph to PL, when you lvl up in PL form (which is often happen u lvl up during kill while becoming PL), the stats lvl up is not converted in morphling, causing morph to lose almost 44 agi and chunks number of STR. If this bug not happened, the ceeeeb call wont kill him. Unfortunate bug, no one noticed bout this cz over hyped by the axe call.
This shows it doesn't matter how good you are in games, ppl who are positive and mentality stronger will always have the spirit to edge you out and breaks you, that is the power of humanity.
Es increible ver a Notail en este ti, todo lo que paso, como llego... Perdió todo antes del torneo. Estaba destrozado. No dormía. Tenía las ojeras de la vida, el alma rota... Hizo lo posible por levantarse. Armó un equipo, encontró gente en quien apoyarse y consiguió la gloria. Lo que hace Ceb es indescriptible. Es gracioso ver lo que pasó el siguiente año. Notail es otra persona. Tiene la confianza a niveles altos, disfruta el juego, se da el lujo de trolear a los demás equipos y esta más alegre que perro con dos colas... Lo que es la vida. (chupate esa fly!)
The crazy thing about this was that OG was not supposed to be here. NoTail was betrayed by Fly just a month before the TI qualifiers and this tore the team apart. Topson had never played at a lan, ana played a few years before, but looked out matched and Ceb had a few year break on his professional playing there and only came back cause NoTail needed him to fill up the roster. So a month before TI qualifiers OG was just NoTail and JerAx... They were the odds on favorites to go out as one of the first two teams to be eliminated before getting onto to the arena. It was the most improbable journey of any team ever. Going from last to first with a new team...
The drama made this TI's story ridiculously good, like a dream story if you ask me. Notail's best friend (at the time) Fly and legendary TI winner s4 left OG for EG shortly before Ti, so they had to recruit Topson and Ceb (from coaching position). They were considered one of the weakest teams, no one gave them a chance. They even played against EG, and Notail gave Fly the legendary death stare 💀 - it was so epic after an amazing series. The memes.. and to win it all despite the odds and adversity. No one gave them a chance.
We appreciate you Grub. Watching your content I just feel like I’m hanging out with a chill, humble friend. Even though you don’t know me, I consider you a friend!
When I watched this the first time, I was so happy for OG. Now, 4 years later, I am rooting for LGD and watching this hits different. You can see the team crumbling here, failing to make the finals in TI9, and then the heartbreaking loss at TI10. Here is also the last time you can see the Chinese fans lose hope as LGD was slowly getting hammered by OG in game 5. They were not even able to do that for TI10. This year is LGD's year. I can't imagine a world where Ame retires not as a TI Champion. You also have all the players present: Team Spirit, their TI10 nemesis, just beat them in Arlington and the new OG, who has risen to the top of EU and successfully rebuilt their team. Now is the time to prove that LGD deserves a place at the top, and for them to be immortalized in the Aegis of Champions!
This should be released in theaters. I mean the edit is so good. Not only they showed the winners emotion but also the loser(2nd place). It shows both team to be good and no one was vilified. However, like any other game, in order for one to win, one has to lose. I hope LGD wins theirs soon,they do deserve one.
I saw him watch this and react to it. And at this moment, he's already surpassed me and my entire dota-playing family in ranking. Damn. Such a long way.
I'm not much of a dota guy, I'm from the hon community, I love this film and I honestly think the most interesting part was when i heard that topson made only 3 grand from winnings before this and became an instant millionaire from winning. Just blows my mind
I have been following dota since TI2 and I havent taken the time to watch these. Thank you for watching with you. I have been following your career also so just felt right.
Chill that you joined the dota community, and you are Dutch also :) You bring positivity to the dota community, and tbh, that is what we need. Too much toxic people. Thanks for bringing us some positive vibes, we need it!
Notail is like the most experienced dota player of all time, playing pro since Dota1 days. And here he is, asking Topson (fresh pro player) what he want to play. Asking for his opinion and always sticking onto it. What a leader. Now compare that to Fly, in this ti13. I watched they interview their (nouns) coach and they asked the coach "How much of the draft % is you (coach)" And he replied,"Its upto Fly, we make sure he have a good game. Its upto him" it really shows the difference
I was hoping you would see this video. Also TI9 True Sight and the videos from individual OG players from theScore esports channel, truly shows why this team and their journey was so great.
This shows how insanely good Ceb is at giving speeches. He always says the right thing that the players need. I'm pretty sure they'd crumble easily if Ceb wasn't there to hype up their minds.
Also notice how Ceb always tells the guys to have fun. Sure they need to play seriously to win but he's also telling them to not let the pressure get to them.
And then Ammar call it useless speech

TI9 was just OG dumpstering everyone they were head and shoulders above everyone. But TI8, was the biggest cinederella story in esports history
Best true sight was the first one. Dendi forever
watched Grubby vs Moon in WC3 when I was a kid, went to Vancouver to see TI8 and cried for LGD's loss. And now watching Grubby reacting on the same match I had the most emotions, man what a world I'm living in.
I have watched TI8 grand finals like 10 times...it's always amazing. This documentary just really captures the moment really well.
This really cements morale and shot calling in high stakes team tourneys.
You can have all the best players in position, be the best team, be the overwhelming favorite, and still come up short.
For some reason this video focuses on speeches rather than gameplay so it seems like the speeches mattered more
@@MWTan-nr6zl It really did matter a lot, when everyone is pretty much maxed out in terms of knowledge and teamplay, the mental aspect makes the difference
@@lucaxtshotting2378 dota 2 is a sick mental game -notail.
@@lucaxtshotting2378 if you’ve ever played a 1 hour 30 min long game of dota you’d understand lol it requires so much focus and can get extremely stressful. Especially in a best of 5 series. When I used to play soccer I wasn’t even that stressed during tourneys xdd. There’s also so much money on the line it adds a lot of tension
@@lucaxtshotting2378 This is like saying that the chess world championship games is still "just a table top game" while disregarding the fact that those players blow through literally thousand+ calories over 6.5 hours of intense thinking and stress. That's the thing about stress. Your body doesn't care where it came from it treats it all the same
Man I was lucky enough to attend this TI. What an amazing tournament I’ll never forget my time there
I've been watching this life at my computer at home. From vancouver to switzerland i could feel everything. The pressure, the energy in the hall, the highs the lows. This was nerfe wrecking even for me. But on the other hand it was like living in a dream. It was like spectating a miracle coming true. From game to game i started to believe more and more. Against all the odds, go in and get it done!
The best cinderella story in e-sports history, truly! And a team of absolute charismatic, charming and friendly guys as winner. These dudes felt like brothers to me after just watching this whole life from my monitor. Incredible. Cant really put in words ❤❤
Grubby thank you so much for uploading these to UA-cam! As an Australia downunderman, I can't watch your streams live, because you stream when I'm asleep. At best, I wake up at the tail ends of your stream. I try to catch up by watching the VODs, but some days are busier than others. I will try to catch you live on the A-Z challenge when you're about to play my favorite Heroes, just gotta predict when and set alarms accordingly!
G'day mate! Thanks for the support :D
wait, what's that hero? :D
I’ve been a Notail fan since he was playing mid in HON and I’ve supported his teams from the start. I remember placing OG as the winning team in my TI4 battle pass. You wouldn’t believe the joy the TI8 win gave me. And this true sight hit me right in the feels. I’ve watched it so many times😭😭 From a collapsed team making it through open qualifiers to the win!!
Same here, been his fan since early HoN -days .. Incredible what that boy has achieved !!
I'm not a Dota player but I instantly become a fan after this! 🔥❤️the amount of trust, friendship and love in both team especially OG is just real!
And they got another ti the following year is just amazing!
No one can beat a team forged by fortitude!
That ending makes me cry every time man. To have your mind set on one goal for over a decade, and to finally do it after grueling back-steps and defeat. Just so good
TI8 finals was just so amazing. Two awesome teams slugging it out. Leaving nothing on the table. And the story of OG's team being ripped to shambles and having to piece this team together for TI just adds so much more punch to the story.
I really respect Grubby's decision to watch the Truesights first before watching the redbull documentary for impartial sake. Even as an OG fan myself, the Truesights do a better job of showing not only the highlights of the winners, but the struggles and the pain of loss.
But the redbull documentary was about OG how they're formed and all the hardships they had to face to qualify for TI, and then winning it. It doesn't showcase other teams because it's about them
Waiting for Redbull documentary reaction too. Would be nice to see ..
You are showing such heart, and such positivity for this game. You are going to be such a positive influence on this game, and hopefully inspire many people to actually overcome themselves and start checking it out. I have played thousands of hours of dota on wc3, but never made the jump to dota 2, it has just been so intimidating. But thanks to your videos and your attitude, I think I will be giving it another try! All the best, Grubby, and thank you so much for your videos!
If you want someone to play with, I'm getting back into the game after the break. So we could learn together. I try to take a pretty casual approach and keep things positive.
Doing the same here, it'd be nice to play some chill games and improve at the game :)
i have shown True Sight (various ones) to lots of friends that don't play Dota and without exception they are completely blown away. The emotions, the HYPE, the crowd the comebacks, the personal stories, and the plays.....omg the plays - and one last thing.....lets not forget the casters. The commentary in these games is SOOOOO on point its unbelievable. Long live Dota. Best game on the planet - period. Grub if you get a moment try to watch the first one featuring Dendi - where it all started.
ana's PL performance in game 4 was god tier, especially at this fight 34:30. I watched the player perspective and the way he swiftly micro-ing illusions was just top of the class, and don't forget the secret shop selling items for buyback golds.
I've watched this many times, was always able to hold it in.
But, seeing someone tear up at that moment... I can't.
You deserve a comment.
Thanks for the upload.
knowing the back story of OG, no matter how many time I watch ti8 true sight I still teared up everytime. best team ever
What a good team lead, he never badmouthed or dictated what they should play, instead he just said he'd trust their judgement.
I'd suggest watching against the odds from red bull it's really good
Bring ups things that made the OD run more beautiful
Exactly. Can someone please tell Grubby to watch it?
I really want to see his reaction to that, after he's seen True Sight now.
@@CM-ow3tq hundreds of people suggested that on his stream.
He just watched Ti7, Ti8 and Ti9 True Sight back to back yesterday.
I'll watch it! So many people suggested it, this should be good :)
@@FollowGrubby It tells you about the backstory of how those 5 come together as a team for Ti8
@@FollowGrubby Also consider watching Free to Play. It's about TI 1. A blast from the past.
Grubby for president, we love you. Much love from a current Dota player and former roc and ft player too, and of course big fan of yours.
I can bet, Manuel has relived flashbacks from his prime right there, especially knowing how much commitment and diligence it takes to reach :)
I still get chillls watching this, great react Grubster!
Thanks!
i watch this yearly before TI starts, now im here
I can never hold my tears watching these esport movies... as I used to play starcraft 2 on very high lvl (grandmaster) and always wanted to be part of it but I could never qualify for anything because I was just way too stressed, it was always my dream but it still gave me a lot to my personality and the way I use brain on day-to-day things... I am still successful in life even I failed at esports but I would never say I wasted time trying. ♥ esports
Great reaction video!
this is just so amazing, the stories of e-sports being told in this awesome format, the emotions, and my favourite streamer reacting to it, I love it
The true sight series is next level production quality. Every single one is a must watch for me, even though I stopped playing DotA
I was at this TI. It was one of the most memorable events I have ever been to. The energy in the facility was so high during the finals it was insane. I would love more people to experience it.
I have watched this like 5 times, it still hits different. The best TI ever.
Only 5 times?? lol
Grubby I did not know about you before but watching you learn to play dota and now watching true sight, you give commentary with a "been there done that" flavor that I've never experienced and after watching this for the 20th time I still thoroughly enjoyed watching it all over again here. Thank you for joining the Dota community.
TI8 Grand Finals - OG vs PSG.LGD is the greatest TI finals game, overtaking the TI3. Let me tell you about the teams playing.
PSG.LGD - the Chinese powerhouse that many people expect to win TI. Also there is this pattern where Chinese teams win TI in even years (TI2 - IG, TI4 - Newbee, TI6 - Wings Gaming). We can say that they have the best odds is winning the tournament.
OG - the team that is ranked last in the odds of winning TI since they just formed their new roster a few months prior to this event. Many expected that they will go down early, but they exceeded people's expectations and went to go on the finals.
Watch the Redbull video entitled "OG's comeback to win DOTA 2's TI8 | Against The Odds". Also watch the TI9 True Sight.
it's really wholesome to see how passionate you are about dota, i've been loving all the content. this true sight is still my favorite of all time, the one after it was quite good too.
I cried together with Grubb on stream live and I saw that movie like 10 times already. What a emotions !!
OG were so broken in Ti8 that everyone believed they would just drop straight out, but they went to the grand finals, against the known to be strongest team and favorites to win it all, against all odds, won the whole thing. its the most awe inspiring stories ever, from a brother's betrayal, Notail pulled their dream out of the abyss with Ceb to help carry the weight with him. in comes Ti9 and OG just went godmode and dumstered everyone proving their win wasn't just a fluke. the power of friendship indeed, that's why it was just absolutely sad to see this roster go especially with the pandemic coming in.
Ceb is unreplaceable for OG, he is a huge motivator for OG and specially for the new generation of OG. That's why I loved watching Grubby back in wc3! Now we have both Grubby and Ceb together in dota2! Amazing era!
Dont know how many times I watch that True sight in particulare but it never fails to give me the chills
I'm so glad that you're getting into dota 2 and the International content, truly inspiring stuff. 5300+ hours in and I genuinely think my life would be far duller than it is by a great measure. Can't wait to see your reactions/opinions on the current International going on in the coming couple months of the battle pass for 2022.
Ahh Grubby getting emotional! You're such a nice guy! I've watched you from when you were playing war3(old version), war3 remastered and now dota. Keep up the videos/streaming, you are great! You deserve all the best!
I been watching this for more than 10 times yet I still got emotional.
So far the best reaction I"ve seen for truesight ti 8. He was observing and taking it all in and trying to understand the emotions of both OG and PSG.LGD.
Little known fact. Ceb picked axe last in a scrim with OG. He fed so hard. Jerax was kinda not feeling the pick after that scrim but trusted ceb enough that he was gonna make it work.
Nope, it works because of morph PL bug
@@BudiTabootie I mean Morph has an advantageous bug vs PL too(getting both lvl 25 talents).
I just watched this last night in your VODs, I'm glad it's uploaded on UA-cam!
damn the tears, Grubby u r so wholesome
This entire TI had so many memorable moments. And the two teams met again in Ti9 in the semi-final which was the better game than the finals imo.
Damn I remember watching the finals live in Beijing in a huge watch party. It was late night and when LGD choked we were so fucking sad
Great to see Grubby venture into new games, I know Grubby since forever through friends having played WC3 but I never watched him really, same with hots. But awesome to see you getting out of your comfort zone, such a likeable guy! Enjoy all the games :)
damn! the production, the storylines... the hype is SO real! LOVE IT!
Grubby tearing up is all of us when we watched it the first time and every other time ;). What a series and what a win!
At the end, you could see, feel, yet imagine what Manuel was thinking, which echoes of the past lingers in his mind while he was at his prime, wcg champ and every thing he managed to win and maybe, I'm not sure, but he dreamed about to lift the Aegis for him self. Me for sure, would love to see you, you Netherland icon at the stage of a TI final. Only the best for you and your family and a big thanks for decades of entertainment you delivered to me. Sincerely, Hinni from Germany
The contrast between the doubt from the casters/analysts and the confidence OG had in each other was so good. Incredibly produced!
I really enjoyed watching this again and with the perspective of another pro in an adjacent game. They're all such characters and the fantastic editing on the documentary let's that all shine through. Makes me tear up ;_;
32:42 "ESPORTS HEADSHAKE" xD even the Grubby knows this game was OVER! lol
i think this is the best TI finals i've watched, you cant really see how epic these game were in this short highlights... OG was losing 2-1 and in game 4 it was alrdy 40 min, lost 2 full lanes of barracks, notail was literally running down mid to suicide, just to pull a creep wave a little more from the base ( to keep the backdoor protection ) and then Ana the PL took lvl 25 defensive talent that was not meta at all, it was an IMPOSSIBLE comeback, game lasted like 80 min or so, and then they won like 3-4 fights in a row and won the whole finals....
Agree. Game 4 of ti8 finals was the best dota game that have i ever watched. The teamfights, back and forth, you won't know who will win.
Also Upper bracket final was fire, with arc warden etc if i remember
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the doppelganger cd reduction talent wasn't picked much not so because it wasn't Meta, it was just too situational in the eyes of most people granted I really don't know the other lvl 25 talent back then(probably a DPS)oriented one.
I do agree though that game 4 was nuts and I absolutely believe it's the best game of the entire ti8 tourney(hard choice between it and Upper bracket game 3).
@@imfinishedgrinding638 20% crit or smth
Huh? That talent was theeta everywhere above 4k mmr. Picked every game because the alternative was crit that gave you 30% dps increase - good but dps wasn't the big problem and was fixable by items
This was really cool to watch. The editing was amazing
So glad you took the time to watch this grubby! This is one of my all time favorites.
The thing that get unexposed in game 4 is the Morph - PL bug
LGD plays morph again PL several time because it can create similar chaos. But the thing is one bug is existed. When you are morphling use morph to PL, when you lvl up in PL form (which is often happen u lvl up during kill while becoming PL), the stats lvl up is not converted in morphling, causing morph to lose almost 44 agi and chunks number of STR. If this bug not happened, the ceeeeb call wont kill him.
Unfortunate bug, no one noticed bout this cz over hyped by the axe call.
its not a bug, its a feature
This shows it doesn't matter how good you are in games, ppl who are positive and mentality stronger will always have the spirit to edge you out and breaks you, that is the power of humanity.
Can't wait tor TI11 True Sight
TI8 and TI9 finals will probably be the best gaming moments we will see in a long time if ever.
I have a hard time catching the streams, so these videos are great.
Grubby tearing up is a tell tell sign that he is a empathetic human with a good heart. Bless you Grubby ❤
Man everytime i watch that i get so many chills, it was so hype watching it too. I know it's lame as hell but i won't forget it!
Es increible ver a Notail en este ti, todo lo que paso, como llego... Perdió todo antes del torneo. Estaba destrozado. No dormía. Tenía las ojeras de la vida, el alma rota... Hizo lo posible por levantarse. Armó un equipo, encontró gente en quien apoyarse y consiguió la gloria. Lo que hace Ceb es indescriptible. Es gracioso ver lo que pasó el siguiente año. Notail es otra persona. Tiene la confianza a niveles altos, disfruta el juego, se da el lujo de trolear a los demás equipos y esta más alegre que perro con dos colas... Lo que es la vida. (chupate esa fly!)
TI8 true sight is the best. The feels, the struggle, and the betrayal OG got was fucking worth it. Shed a tear when Notail raised the Aegis. Damn.
The crazy thing about this was that OG was not supposed to be here. NoTail was betrayed by Fly just a month before the TI qualifiers and this tore the team apart. Topson had never played at a lan, ana played a few years before, but looked out matched and Ceb had a few year break on his professional playing there and only came back cause NoTail needed him to fill up the roster. So a month before TI qualifiers OG was just NoTail and JerAx... They were the odds on favorites to go out as one of the first two teams to be eliminated before getting onto to the arena. It was the most improbable journey of any team ever. Going from last to first with a new team...
Fy my favorite support,hope they win Ti next time
The drama made this TI's story ridiculously good, like a dream story if you ask me.
Notail's best friend (at the time) Fly and legendary TI winner s4 left OG for EG shortly before Ti, so they had to recruit Topson and Ceb (from coaching position). They were considered one of the weakest teams, no one gave them a chance. They even played against EG, and Notail gave Fly the legendary death stare 💀 - it was so epic after an amazing series. The memes.. and to win it all despite the odds and adversity. No one gave them a chance.
love this reaction commentary. so good
We appreciate you Grub. Watching your content I just feel like I’m hanging out with a chill, humble friend. Even though you don’t know me, I consider you a friend!
When I watched this the first time, I was so happy for OG. Now, 4 years later, I am rooting for LGD and watching this hits different. You can see the team crumbling here, failing to make the finals in TI9, and then the heartbreaking loss at TI10. Here is also the last time you can see the Chinese fans lose hope as LGD was slowly getting hammered by OG in game 5. They were not even able to do that for TI10.
This year is LGD's year. I can't imagine a world where Ame retires not as a TI Champion. You also have all the players present: Team Spirit, their TI10 nemesis, just beat them in Arlington and the new OG, who has risen to the top of EU and successfully rebuilt their team. Now is the time to prove that LGD deserves a place at the top, and for them to be immortalized in the Aegis of Champions!
Get over yourself, all of you who think some team or players deserves to win just because your ego needs it.
Let the best team become the winner, give us good show!
WINGS curse still in effect.
I remember crying watching the story of NoTail. So glad you got to watch that with friends Grubby, great watch!
Your the best ma dude
You're*
Goosebumps and tears, every time I watch this. It is a masterpiece
@grubby oh yeah, after u watched true sight ti 9, u have to watch REd BUlls OG against the Odds, documentary about how they made Ti8, is pretty good
Noted, thanks!
@@FollowGrubby pls watch it . its definitely worth the time .
first time any youtuber answered, you will never read this again but thank you
First time I've seen something like this, they did an amazing job and I happened to leave the cinematography as well thank you for sharing this.
This should be released in theaters. I mean the edit is so good. Not only they showed the winners emotion but also the loser(2nd place). It shows both team to be good and no one was vilified. However, like any other game, in order for one to win, one has to lose. I hope LGD wins theirs soon,they do deserve one.
Knowing notail went through hell right before TI8, he deserves the wins and all the praises
Could not agree more grubby. This is really well presented. Extremely engaging. Really nails the buy-in for competitive gamer spectators.
I saw him watch this and react to it. And at this moment, he's already surpassed me and my entire dota-playing family in ranking. Damn. Such a long way.
there were a great story behind og winning this, there friendship and betrayal
I'm not much of a dota guy, I'm from the hon community, I love this film and I honestly think the most interesting part was when i heard that topson made only 3 grand from winnings before this and became an instant millionaire from winning. Just blows my mind
Im telling you CEB aka Sebastian Debbs is something else, you should check out his biopic documentary on how he came back to OG, made by redbull
The OG TI run probly the best Ti ive ever felt. i get shivers and chill everytime i watch it
I cant stand watching my fav pro Player from my childhood watching my Favoriten Game, my fav Team and my fav tournement
I love the dota 2 plug!!!
I have been playing for 10 years but you make me rediscover this game haha so fun!
I have been following dota since TI2 and I havent taken the time to watch these. Thank you for watching with you. I have been following your career also so just felt right.
ceb done pretty incredible jobs as both player and coach. What a legend!
Grubby and DotA 2 is a very good combination! Plz go on with the series!
Chill that you joined the dota community, and you are Dutch also :)
You bring positivity to the dota community, and tbh, that is what we need. Too much toxic people.
Thanks for bringing us some positive vibes, we need it!
Notail is like the most experienced dota player of all time, playing pro since Dota1 days.
And here he is, asking Topson (fresh pro player) what he want to play. Asking for his opinion and always sticking onto it. What a leader.
Now compare that to Fly, in this ti13. I watched they interview their (nouns) coach and they asked the coach "How much of the draft % is you (coach)"
And he replied,"Its upto Fly, we make sure he have a good game. Its upto him" it really shows the difference
I was hoping you would see this video.
Also TI9 True Sight and the videos from individual OG players from theScore esports channel, truly shows why this team and their journey was so great.
