    Holy fuck, what a nostalgia trip. I had completely forgotten about this format and it was so damn good. As for the video itself, I'm one of those people that rarely or never comment, but this one was so good so yeah, I think it'd be great if you would like to make more stuff about the history of Dota. Thanks!

    I completely agree, the summit was so fun, sad to see we never see anything like it nowadays. Its still relatively common in fighting game tournaments and such, but that's a side-effect of the lack of money/funding

    I miss BTS so much, there was nothing like it in Dota scene, and there still isn't. BTS introduced so many pros and their personalities in a laid-back setting. Without event like that around its been more difficult to personally care about newer pros in the scene. Especially players from other regions, feels like we know nothing about them. When was the last time you saw pros from different teams chilling and watching the games, just casually commenting. How awesome would that be? Maybe people would start to care about teams like, for example, Gaming Gladiators. True community event.

    Of my 8-9 years of playing Dota, only the last few have I really begun to take an interest in the competitive side of Dota. I never really watched BTS. I always saw the re-runs on Twitch (never watched them) and found it strange. Now I see why: it's more like a show than a tournament. I think that is brilliant. I might go and watch it now :D Thanks for sharing this.

    Wish more TOs recognize the value of lax and chill events like what Summit brought to the table.
    ESL Pro League recently did their shift to be more Summit-like and has been a content hotbed for CS pros and talent alike. The casual chats. The skits.
    Given other TOs having the stardom and funding, I wish they can tap in this vast untapped potential of chill yet high octane gameplay.

      DOTA2 orgs only value tournament that leads up to either Riyadh Masters or TI. What killed The Summit that it has less relevance to pathway to TI which led big teams skipping it, once it happens it struggle to attract viewership with only T2 teams willing to attend.
      First few Summit was good because it was happens when tournament mostly had prizepool in 100k range and orgs is less picky about which tournament to play.

    That EG - DK game casting is the most memorable one for me. I even recall some of the lines Notail and Puppey said to this day. And let’s not forget Xcalibur stepping in for Fnatic and stealing the spotlight in the entire event with his Tinker pulling off crazy moves. But there’s a sad side, too. Fnatic was so impressed with Excalibur so much that they chose to enter the next tournament (I think it was TI) with him instead of Era, their official carry who had recovered by then. This decision sparked controversy and later led Valve to enforce the roster lock.

  • @dhaninputra
    @dhaninputra 19 днів тому +1

    Mannn I had so many memories from this tournament! The n0tail and Puppey, “So Smart”, the post game look of DK being destroyed by Steve’s (Xcalibur) Tinker. Him standing in for Era and had successes and Era being jealous out of it and feeling left out (a bit of drama here). AND NOT TO MENTION, the Mario Party games that were played in a different room/stream, I forgot. Thanks for triggering this memory man.

    BTS was such a trailblazer and a pillar in the Dota community.
    Not only that they introduced this setup but have also created so much player content with their short skits and vignettes. The BTS house tournament also introduced us to Slacks and KotLGuy. They’ve also made other creative events like BOT TI, a TI for bot players.
    They single-handedly made SEA region relevant by being the studio that consistently made tournaments in a region often ignored by other Eurocentric studios and organizers.
    Their knack for a unique viewing experience influenced other studios to create unique tournaments like Midas Mode.
    LD and GodZ are creative geniuses. In behalf of the Dota community, I salute you for the incredible contributions you have made.

  • @BreadAccountant

      It's Valve so it's a bit complicated. In one hand they seems they're taking a hand-off approach with the esports side of things because it's too costly for them on the human resource side of things to do it.
      But on the other hard, they hired a bunch of people who are involved in esports events stuff and aren't developers so I'm not so sure what's their direction for esports.
      Their two biggest esports games has been overtaken by their competitors, CS2 with Valorant and Dota 2 with League because Riot keeps supporting the scene actively. I know some people are gonna be delusional, but Valorant tournaments has more viewership than CS2 nowadays.
