This is, hands down, the best play I have ever seen in DotA. I've been playing this game for a very long time and I can't actually imagine how the fuck this guy managed to pull this off in a single game against PRO PLAYERS... Insane
TheLightningWhale Uhm why's spirit breaker bad vs Wisp? Actually you can use proper warding and Wisp to annoy the hell out of SB. Problem with Wisp is that you need to communicate. Try easy mode first: make a friend pick a stunner+Hard Hitter (like Sven or WK) and go top with him, pull and level up fast, after you hit 6 go gank or defend from a save position. (e.g. from near your tower or behind your tower). Key to win Wisp is good map awareness and proper warding so you'll want to have another support on the other lane to put wards in the enemy jungle. What you also gotta try is Sven + Lifestealer + IO. Lifestealer infests Sven, IO teleports Sven and you have an instant 3 hero gank and only Lifestealer cannot be brought back (as long as Infest is on CD).
Thanks for posting, I saw LD casting this and had no idea wisp made such an epic play in that second fight because it was all off camera. That was incredible play.
PEOPLE dont seem to notice how incredible ck was. at 2:24, he popped tread to intelliegence against mana leak, and back to strenght (with magic wand) when we was low. That calmness is something, especially when you are being chased by 3 heroes, with nearly zero chance of escaping
and why do you think that LOL is more entertaining to play than dota,maybe because the heroes are cartoons?? .... lol is for kids....max 16 years (my oppinion)
The only thing that really impressed me was the force on chaos knight, the rest is good but..Nothing really out of reality, i´ve played IO for a while and is not that hard to do those things once you get used to it .
Of course not. Try out to see a Wisp that doesn't dies after coming back from relocate. You will find 0 who can do it by themselves. Meracle outplayed them so hard TWO times. He made the whole other team chase him and still escaped. Well, if that doesn't impresses you tell me from which team you are so I can watch your impressive Wisp.
I usually don´t , You just have to tether right but relocate better! sometimes depends on your team , you know? 5 ppl waiting for you come back to kill you it´s not easy to escape.
MyFukinBass You're wasting money if you're good at wisp, I didn't see you at IT 2014. You should go to 2015 edition so we can all see your amazing skills.
So what your trying to say, is that you can relocate out a teammate, then have the foresight to by a blink, and make it out alive vs. a team of players good enough to go to ti3?
Tyson Dent Hmm I don`t think the environment of who is who and if it`s tl6 worty really matters that much, because pretty much every strong player in that situation would the same thing or more or less the same, and buying stuff or making a strat in less than 12 seconds to escape from a the aftermath of a relocate is no thaaaat impressive, I mean it may seem so , but if you played IO for a long time then you know it`s common to try out stuff Look i`m not pointing out that this stuff is not really impressive , it is it`s just people doesn`t play Io that much (Generally world-wide speaking) to upload replays with pro moves Would you be impressed by an Invoker who combos 7 skills with refresher? Probably not, and it`s not exactly easy to accomplish in most situations , but you wouldn`t be impresed because it has benn already seen too many times because that`s a hero people would usually play most than Io and would upload they moves to the cloud so then everyone needs to see something even more cool to be impressed , I just happened to play Io a large amount of times to know this , not trying to "Hate" on the player , not trying to bash on his plays, they`re really good, just ....Not that hard, just pointing out that
haha i smoke weed and i saw this comment haha he doesnt know shit about dota.. he didint saw the fucking force staff and the relocate or the bait for the creeps and tedder to the ranged. also TP in fog of war.
forcestaff is a good support item for saving your allies (as seen on the vid) as well as giving them more chasing power ( specially good for ck) and it also provides your hero with int and regen.
ck switched to int treads to increase his mana pool against mana leak, and then pop his wand, then switch back to str treads. Lower your max hp by switching your treads into int or agi treads and pop wand, and then switch back to str treads is a way to "increase" your wand heal. More hp is healed interms of percentage.
Not gonna lie but lower skilled players don't understand the volume of how amazing these saves and escapes are... They're EXTREMELY well done. Miracle played amazing this game.
Excuse me guys, i'm still learning to read dota plays but i could not see what meracle did where he used the blink dagger. What did he do exactly? Bought it at a crazy time? Not sure what he did.
he used his teleport skill to base, waited till its about to finish, tethered his team mate between all enemy heroes and teleported him to base, the skill teleport Wisp has will automatically return him to the same place he teleported from the first time after 15 secs, so in those 15 secs he bought blink dagger got teleported back to the enemy where they were waiting for him immediately blinked into isolated area and used the normal teleport scroll he bought too escaping a semi guaranteed death.
in LD's defense, he lives in California and has to cast these games from 3am-6am every night. It's also really hard to follow everything that's going on. Tobi misses everything as a caster (except the obvious), and Reaves just goes "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" (which we all love him for), but LD has an amazing ability to commentate mid-fight. He also commented "The Play" from last International, which was sensational and he did a great job getting exciting :D watch?v=Ldq1afiKQb8
It is way easier to catch it when watching a replay and when you know what will happen, LD couldn't predict he was gonna do something so amazing and was expecting him to die both times.
wait can you relocate get a tp scroll start tp ing to base at base get relocated back to the fight but then finish channeling the tp scroll to go back to base again?
Doesn't mana leak drain for a %, though? So switching to int wouldn't really help, right? Or is it the percentage of the distance traveled, like Rupture?
Right after he relocated to the enemy base, he used the blink dagger to blink into the trees where he used a tp scroll from the shop he bought prior to returning :)
i disaggree with you. U can buy quelling blades from side shops,use them to cut one tree very fast then sell it off for the original price. Of course this doesnt work after the like 8 sec duration i think?when the cost of selling the item gets halved... But just so u know,u CAN sell an item after using it as long as u sell it b4 the timer goes to 0 then it will be half priced :)
anyone know which team againts which team that the video shows? if someone know, please send the link about the game in the video, cus i wanna watch it thanks :)
Io + Team of ganking heroes is insane. I just played Io 10 mins ago with Tiny, Pudge, Bloodseeker and Viper. More kill assists than minutes of game XD.
Hmm...Possibly. There is a timer on selling an item back for full gold, so if he bought it just before he relocated back to bot lane, blinked, and TPed back, he totally could've sold it in time for full price :) I was thinking the same actually
Daniel C nope you cant sell an item at full price after using it, tried it before using furion with midas. TP to nc use it, tp back to sell it. half price
I agree on that. Same thing here. Then I also realized, There is no caster with insight, not Draskyl, Weppas, 2GD, LD, Godz. Maybe Luminous. But there is actually no caster, that really gets the game. And that's why, thank god for pro-players, co-casting! So let the casters bring the entertainment, and let the co-casters bring the insight.
Once you use item you've bought, you can't sell it at full price. So if you buy bottle at 22:47, and use it at 22:48 you can't sell it for 600 gold anymore. Only for half a price.
This is, hands down, the best play I have ever seen in DotA. I've been playing this game for a very long time and I can't actually imagine how the fuck this guy managed to pull this off in a single game against PRO PLAYERS...
Insane
this guy is like "no, you don't mess with my team, play with me instead!!" and laugh, and laugh, and laugh...
Meracle is a fucking genius at Naga as well. Truly one of the best players currently in the game.
Wisp does not approve of death.
man i wish i could play wisp like that
Watched it live, this Wisp just blew my mind. What a joy to watch. Best plays of the Qualifiers so far!
These clips makes you want to play wisp like this,but reality is, pick the hero and feed. :I
mainly because the enemy team picks up blood seeker and spirit breaker... play wisp they said, it would be fun they said... lmao
TheLightningWhale
Uhm why's spirit breaker bad vs Wisp?
Actually you can use proper warding and Wisp to annoy the hell out of SB.
Problem with Wisp is that you need to communicate.

Thanks for posting, I saw LD casting this and had no idea wisp made such an epic play in that second fight because it was all off camera. That was incredible play.
io deserves the next arcana plz vote for him
This is why volvo nerfed him
yep. if volvo not nerfed io. he would have more popularity.
This man is the only person in existence who can play Io correctly and win. I don't care who you are, you will never stack up to Meracle.
Wow. Sick play. LD is a good caster. Him and his team are doing a tremendously good job covering the west qualifiers.
Back in the days of stun io. =\
i've never seen anybody play as IO and actually do good..
You never seen me playing
dotabuff.com/matches/763936500
Geekgamesbr Yeah you sucked. 16 kills that could have gone to a carry to increase his farm.
Rejigged Omelet a win is a win, thats all that matters
www.dotabuff.com/matches/839802103
play with me and u will
It's just a little ball of light, famous last words.
They were both pro plays. DotaCinema decided to play a cinematic version of the clip first and then the same clip now with the HUD and commentators.
Give this guy an Oscar
Screw the Oscar Give! him a nobel prize!
Thomas Edwards i think a cookie is good :)
yep, cookie
Watched this on the stream. My arms went straight in the air on the last play, I was so stunned by this. Meracle = so good.
this IO is actually the God of Naga Meracle
Thats why wisp is my favourite hero
ULTIMATE BAWS WISP. STARES INTO DEATHS FACE AND THEN LAUGHS TO IT.
PEOPLE dont seem to notice how incredible ck was. at 2:24, he popped tread to intelliegence against mana leak, and back to strenght (with magic wand) when we was low. That calmness is something, especially when you are being chased by 3 heroes, with nearly zero chance of escaping
Shame the commentators were such crap
Jacob Crux totally
Commentary was concise and addressed what was happening, in stark contrast to Tobi's fall out of the chair screaming antics.
and why do you think that LOL is more entertaining to play than dota,maybe because the heroes are cartoons?? .... lol is for kids....max 16 years (my oppinion)
when dotacinema dedicates a video to a single play something amazing is ahead.
Amazing!
Согласен просто АХУЕТЬ
This video is really nice as I have learnt much more about wisp but at the same time, I learnt that LD can miss so many details during a team fight
The only thing that really impressed me was the force on chaos knight, the rest is good but..Nothing really out of reality, i´ve played IO for a while and is not that hard to do those things once you get used to it .
Of course not. Try out to see a Wisp that doesn't dies after coming back from relocate. You will find 0 who can do it by themselves. Meracle outplayed them so hard TWO times.

Look i`m not pointing out that this stuff is not really impressive , it is it`s just people doesn`t play Io that much (Generally world-wide speaking) to upload replays with pro moves

This is not some pub, this is the qualifiers for the tournament with the largest prize-pool in e-sport history.
LD doesnt even know whats going on.
haha i smoke weed and i saw this comment haha he doesnt know shit about dota.. he didint saw the fucking force staff and the relocate or the bait for the creeps and tedder to the ranged. also TP in fog of war.
waitfor it dont be like that, i heard he's a decent play.
Unbelievable play from this man. Weaow.
LD lost all the good moments
Meracle, thanks to you now we will see more people supporting!!!
Shitty commentator.
Beautiful wisp play though :D
forcestaff is a good support item for saving your allies (as seen on the vid) as well as giving them more chasing power ( specially good for ck) and it also provides your hero with int and regen.

Watched this live. Needless to say, I was speechless.
He is always one step ahead.
I'm glad that i have watched it live, very nice game play though very unfortunate that we won't see this team in TI3
This was my favorite game so far in eats qualifiers
invalid, tobi and ayesee are my favorite casters they're epic man!
I remeber watching this. Amazing wisp was amazing.
saw this live, shit was amazing, the whole game was this dude pulling off miracle saves
You know IT3 will be fuckin great when you see such good play from qualifiers teams.
i like how the commentator did not catch any of those big plays and then was so "excited" about lack of stuns
that was really impresive play, and his amazing jukes... btw his visage was good too
the second clip was in wodota top 10 i think? or symphony of skills? i really cant remember someone help me ty
That force staff play was incredible.
Not gonna lie but lower skilled players don't understand the volume of how amazing these saves and escapes are... They're EXTREMELY well done. Miracle played amazing this game.
its a miracle he is still alive........sorry someone had to say it
i dont know who can dislike this amazing wisp
This isn't a comedy channel, this is a Dota 2 channel.
Excuse me guys, i'm still learning to read dota plays but i could not see what meracle did where he used the blink dagger. What did he do exactly? Bought it at a crazy time? Not sure what he did.
he used his teleport skill to base, waited till its about to finish, tethered his team mate between all enemy heroes and teleported him to base, the skill teleport Wisp has will automatically return him to the same place he teleported from the first time after 15 secs, so in those 15 secs he bought blink dagger got teleported back to the enemy where they were waiting for him immediately blinked into isolated area and used the normal teleport scroll he bought too escaping a semi guaranteed death.
in LD's defense, he lives in California and has to cast these games from 3am-6am every night. It's also really hard to follow everything that's going on. Tobi misses everything as a caster (except the obvious), and Reaves just goes "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" (which we all love him for), but LD has an amazing ability to commentate mid-fight.
He also commented "The Play" from last International, which was sensational and he did a great job getting exciting :D
watch?v=Ldq1afiKQb8
after you use the item? I remember a caster saying in stream to this game that you can't sell for full price anymore
Taking the word "situational item" in a whole new level.
I submit this clip, that wisp was incredible.
It is way easier to catch it when watching a replay and when you know what will happen, LD couldn't predict he was gonna do something so amazing and was expecting him to die both times.
wait can you relocate get a tp scroll start tp ing to base at base get relocated back to the fight but then finish channeling the tp scroll to go back to base again?
Doesn't mana leak drain for a %, though? So switching to int wouldn't really help, right? Or is it the percentage of the distance traveled, like Rupture?
I watched this game live, you should have seen the comment area, it went crazy
he already got gold and Blink is good for wisp, his tether and blink makes a good combo
Right after he relocated to the enemy base, he used the blink dagger to blink into the trees where he used a tp scroll from the shop he bought prior to returning :)
totally agree. this is a great play but the caster can make it more excited
Tobiwan commentary would make it even more awesome!
i disaggree with you.
U can buy quelling blades from side shops,use them to cut one tree very fast then sell it off for the original price.
Of course this doesnt work after the like 8 sec duration i think?when the cost of selling the item gets halved...
But just so u know,u CAN sell an item after using it as long as u sell it b4 the timer goes to 0 then it will be half priced
:)
Had a big smile throughout the whole video, nice :)
Watched this Live, That was some Pretty skills
his name fits his skills... truly amazing...
" I don't listen to a cast for someone to tell me when I should be excited or to hear someone scream"
And some people do.
I worship this guy
increase the amount hp restored by magic wand? how is that possible? magic wand heal is a fixed number 15 hp and mana per charge right?
Very interesting game, first time I've ever seen wisp used as a rescue hero instead of a ganker.
I guess some people think its a bad commentator because he doesn't jump out of his seat during those amazing scenes...
anyone know which team againts which team that the video shows? if someone know, please send the link about the game in the video, cus i wanna watch it thanks :)
He is still miles ahead of LD and a lot more enthused in his casting.
Awesome plays. It's always nice to see someone rocking with a hero you suck with :D
Io + Team of ganking heroes is insane. I just played Io 10 mins ago with Tiny, Pudge, Bloodseeker and Viper. More kill assists than minutes of game XD.
Wish it was Draskyll casting during those scenes, he would do it justice.
He actually kept the dagger. I remember that gamepretty well.
i find the latter plays... even more amazing!!!
Thanks for sharing, i totally missed that!
Could you sell (at full price) the blink dagger after using it like that?
Hmm...Possibly. There is a timer on selling an item back for full gold, so if he bought it just before he relocated back to bot lane, blinked, and TPed back, he totally could've sold it in time for full price :) I was thinking the same actually
Daniel C nope you cant sell an item at full price after using it, tried it before using furion with midas. TP to nc use it, tp back to sell it. half price
I for one think the commentators made the match more exciting... and really add to the hype..
Wisp - The Gordon Freeman of Dota 2.
can u pls post the puck played by mineski jay? i heard he was good
I'm Western but you are so right. This is uncanny. Eastern qualifiers are a different level.
I remember watching this, its was just crazy
I was wondering when this would show up
I agree on that. Same thing here. Then I also realized, There is no caster with insight, not Draskyl, Weppas, 2GD, LD, Godz. Maybe Luminous. But there is actually no caster, that really gets the game. And that's why, thank god for pro-players, co-casting!
So let the casters bring the entertainment, and let the co-casters bring the insight.
wisp's team with an awesome comeback, if u start watching from start.
Once you use item you've bought, you can't sell it at full price. So if you buy bottle at 22:47, and use it at 22:48 you can't sell it for 600 gold anymore. Only for half a price.
It said it at the end though, the 2013 eastern qualifiers
dotacinemas catches every single details about his awesome play! LD couldnt do that :p
Ld just couldnt comprehend the plays this wisp was making
Dota grants limitless posibilities
He also dropped the gem at fountain. Such quick thinking...
10 years of nightelf warcraft and 2 years of dota 2 im callin it a wisp.
