CEO of Tiny Airlines
you cracked me up dude
Ian Valondo. The only airline in the world that is increasing in profit during the corona virus.
My
Tiny airlines, say hello to the new competitor, Snapfire Airways
Once you start playing dota you can never leave. They are luring him back buffing all his heroes and giving new even more broken airlines.
*THE SAVIOR OF OG*
in deed
Somehow i can hear this comments 😢
The comment that you can hear💪🏻
It was Topson who saved that game
@@alierencelik2188 topson held the line and jerax saved the game
“I have to constantly prove I’m better”
Well you are Jerax, and we all thank you for that. You changed how pos4 was being played, you stuck with n0tail through multiple roster changes and won, that’s how good you are. To be able to come in everyday being so consistent and knowing your team mates can always rely on you to save them.
Long live Jesse, the saviour of OG
Well said. Everyone else on the roster had some exciting label: the wonderkid, the pub star, the coach-turned-player, and the drama-ridden flower boy. Meanwhile, through all of the OG drama, Jerax was just performing over and over again, always with a smile on his face. Humble, loyal, consistently top level. What a guy.
Dara Otl yeah man. But who was the most consistent right? Every day jerax comes in doing all these small tiny plays that saves ana or topson or ceb, but he doesn’t get noticed. Remember that fight where he bought back as earthshaker and saved ana from the bloodseeker and turned the entire fight around?? Topson and ana got all the praise but it was all jerax
@@leinardesteves3987 that's what I meant by "performing over and over again", he was the backbone of the team. 😀
He gonna be back cause Ana back next year and where sumail go?my quess they gonna make another like og seed with Ana and jerax
@@awalsyahrial6791 jerax is RETIRED, and ana is unpredictable so og had to make a new roster for now
Jerax is such a good role model for all esports professionals or hopefuls. Such an enlightened perspective
Jenkins wtf go to sleep
Agreed
Dota alchemy is da best
Its the diet coke man
Jerax: *retires*
Icefrog: about time *starts buffing Earth Spirit*
Jerax: *surprised Pikachu face*
especially the new 7.25 patch lmao
They see me rolling~
They hatin~
Did someone summon me in 3 months ago?
"I have to constantly prove I'm better"
Not anymore Jesse, not anymore. You are the absolute GOAT of the 4 position and above that a better human being. Farewell friend
Do you think he reads youtube comments?
I always find it fascinating that people try to communicate via youtube comments.
@@OriginalPuro He read it.
Puro regardless of him reading these comments or not, most ppl under this video are just commenting to show appreciation :)
@@OriginalPuro He's a human being, I'm quite sure he reads the top voted comments in a piece made about him
@@OriginalPuro he does read them, Topias mentioned in an interview once that the team constantly reads youtube and reddit comments that feature them/their plays/misplays
The Savior of O.G, God of Memes, Pilot of Tiny Airlines and the best support player of DotA. Thank you JerAx. I pray that you come out of retirement when the O.G needs you the most.
Mr.Smokebreaker
Master of art of war, and mind games
Ti 2021 ez
He gonna be back cause Ana back next year and where sumail go?my quess they gonna make another like og sewa with Ana and jerax
@@awalsyahrial6791 just because ana was back doesnt mean jerax will to jerax need to rest for a while after 2 years of pushing himself if he back,he back thats it he make his choice not following people
well,he is no longer playing dota so that means he will never be back
came to scene as an underdog, retired from the scene as a legend
can you tell me who comes to the scene as legend already? Lol
@@crimson6680 ee and rtz were just overhyped in their first year there
@@crimson6680 many. Since there is already DotA, dota 2 tournament starts with some legend from d1
@@crimson6680 pubstars probably. Miracle was pretty hyped when he joined monkey business
He was called J God since Liquid time
GH is good
Saksa is great
Fy is crazy
But JerAx is in a different place in my heart
Must as, do you mean currently? since if you think is GH is just over all "good" you must have missed TI7.
GH is good
Saksa is good
Fy is good
Jerax is *GOD*
Fly is traitor
@@MrLanxiu Fy,not Fly xD
@@MrLanxiu lmao u must be new...
JeRax, you ROCK!
Valve: He left? Quick! Buff earth spirit! Buff him hard! Do it now
NEW JET AIRLINES! FASTER STRONGER LONGER RADIUS!
"I think all this needs is friendship and a little bit of care from everybody."
HE SAID IT IN THE AGAINST THE ODDS , I FEEL THIS NOW.
GOODBYE LEGEND
Jerax was a legend on Liquid. He was a legend in OG's early days. He was a legend in OG's darkest days. He was a legend in their strongest days.
Thank you, Jerax. You played so well it touched me. You've earned your rest.
@@milelemi8725 Remember when Fly and s4 were still in OG? When N0tail was the carry? Yeah. Those were the darkest days. They were not dominant at all. In the end, they are the best, though.
@@milelemi8725 definitely didnt hear about OG until after they won TI8 didnt ya
@@milelemi8725 you kinda forget OG post TI7 till pre TI8
@@milelemi8725 umm well...
@@milelemi8725 dude, you don't even know what you're talking about. smh
Even Jerax, after his TI6 loss, sat on the stairs and cried. This is arguably, the best dota playmaker in the history of Dota2. Even he had to go through failure, experience the pain and the loss to come through and lift the Aegis, twice in a row.
If this doesn't give us all hope, I don't know what will. Pain, loss, desperation - these are all facts of life. Just push on and count on your loved ones to be there for you.
I remember following his stream when earth spirit came out because how else do you learn to play a hero like that. And I think I only did because I recognised him as singsongs teammate. Always seemed like he was having fun so I ended up watching his streams for like 3 years before completely giving up dota. Didn't even know he won TI let alone 2 of them until recently.
What a great guy man, totally deserve to be one of the GOAT. Thanks for everything
Sloth spirit streams was a much simpler time :,)
Jerax, know this: Your identity is not based on what you do. What you do is based on your identity. You did excellently because you are excellent.❤️ You are deeply appreciated. Thank you for your contribution to the dota2 community.
This guy meme'd in Grand Finals of TI9, in game 4. How calm do you have to be in that situation to see that you can joke and not be ridiculed? Actually insane player, one of the best of all time. Hope he decides to become a coach or something and teach us noobs his godlike ways of reading the game.
New to Dota. Love watching all these older games and videos to learn. Just started actually playing today though. Would you mind telling me which part in game 4 he memed? Noob here lol
i believe its the fight they have outside radiants Tier 3 top tower when gyro first gets his diffusal blade. They end up winning that fight and as they chase down the last hero, jerax tosses the enemy at the ancient camp farther away from them because memes. At least thats how i remember it, they were either chasing omni or bristle in their own triangle.
@@davidschaffer9914 It was the timing when io hits level 15 and og go around killing Liquid players and bb 1st time (as he had aegis).. bb was running for his life when tiny threw him to the ancient stack. We can see in TI video reaction, notail was scared like bb might run away but jerax is like chill bro ..just meming ez kill :P
What a God! That too in TI final
6:14 JERAX EXPLAINING THE PLAYSTYLE OF HIS TEAMMATES
LOOK AT HIS SMILE, HE SURE LOVES THE TEAM
Even with the weight and the pressure he always remained chill and made it look easy. Truly the Ronaldinho of Dota. Hope we still see you around!
I hope not because if that is true, he would be in a prison in Latin America.
He wasn't chill at game 3 vs psg lgd haha he was shouting
One of the all time greats
No I'm not crying, you are!
Jesse, deep inside you are an anchor when the captain calls one day, you'll return
I thought you said archon
Well, well. 🤍
Beautiful
Ana is the God of Dota.
Notail is the flower and heart of OG.
Topson is an innovative God who redefines what a mid player should do.
Ceb is the soul and embodiment of what OG Dota is.
And JeRax, is the God of Pos 4 and God of Memes, CEO of Tiny Airlines and The Saviour of OG!
absolutely yes!
ceb is the brain of og dota. add that.
gay
It's impossible to hate this humble man. I wish you everything in life, JerAx.
A lot of people think that winning that amount of money overthrows everything else, but what we don't see is the amount of pressure they're in and the every day routine of grinding to be able to get there. There comes a point in everyone's life when we realize the prize isn't worth the sacrifices anymore. There's a moment when it stops being fun and eventually you feel empty. A lot of people are sad to see him retire because he's such an amazing player, me being one of them, but now I fully understand. Thank you for opening up about this Jerax. And thank you for your sick game plays. You will forever be a legend.
Well winning two TIs make him a millionaire. Would he have retired if he wasn't a millionaire with two TIs on his belt? Probably not.
@@SSC604 yes, probably not. But that wasn't my point though. I was only talking about people's reaction when he announced his retirement. They wanted him to keep playing after winning two ti because a lot of them think they can still go for the third.
@@andreapahutan3233 when the fans become cancer. They said "we miss u jerax" " OG not the same without u Ana", but they forget to respect players decision.
@@Naitaryo Yes. That's my point exactly. I'm sad to see him retire too but we fans gotta respect their decision.
2 Major And 2 TI
Thx. Jesse
You're OG
4 Majors all
4 majors overall and 2 TI's. Undisputingly GoAT
D Doge
ana also a GOAT,...correction, all OG 2018-19 Roster are GOATs, but ana thou, only a pro in just 3 Years and within that 3 years he only played 1and a half year of DotA and within that 1 and a half year he won 2 Majors and 2 TIs while almost all of the pro players in DotA even struggles to get a single Aegis in 2/more years,...
Jerax is the definition of friendship and supportive .
Thank you for everything, JerAx. You've been a pleasure to watch all of these years!
ty, JerAx! always love his insights and sharing. great interview where the questions don't always need to be said and you understand the answers anyways.
This is just heart breaking ! He's a man in the world of e-sports who's just a boy that just want to play and enjoy the game he loves !
I just hope one day he regains his passion/joy playing dota2 and see him again in the big stage ! 100% Respect ♥♥♥
He came, he saw, he conquered. But above all such a down to earth human being. Thanks Jesse Vainikka 🙏. I hope to be as humble as you someday.
Thank you for all the moments ❤️ all outplays thank you for inspiring me
From Philippines
Thank you for all the fun moments and wonderful memories. Thank you for being a such inspiration to many pos 4 players. Thank you for being a faithful brother. We surely miss you already but still thank you for everything. We love to meet you someday JerAx. - fans from the Philippines.
Thank you for giving me the best the best 2 years when u played on international 2018 and 2019, it was spectacular, and i will always miss you and there is a small hope inside my heart that one say u will come back even tho u have already said that u wont.
Thank you Jerax for some of the best and most inspiring matches in history...
I really love the Earth Spirit behind Jerax in the last part of the video. Like most people probably don't know but Jerax was, and probably, still is the best Earth Spirit. Good luck to the new chapter of your life man! God bless you and Team OG always! You guys inspire a lot of people.
Thank you Jesse, I’ll miss watching your plays but I wish you the best and can’t wait to cheer for you when you’ll come back in the esports scene.
thank you jesse, you have inspired me to try new things in post 4 when you are in liquid. I never stop seeing how to play you on RUclips, and I will never stop trying tricks that you show in every game. thanks again jesse. I'm Ben, from Indonesia.
Idk why but when I look at his eyes it feel so empty and sad. I hope he is oke and find his peace of mind. Good luck and stay strong Jerax. You are beautiful.
I'll never forget your TI8 UB finals game 3 ES echo. My #1 favorite play :)
The fact that he keeps repeating about how he talks about success is just so genuine. He really is focused, and dedicated in really improving himself. Live a wonderful life Jerax.
The one word for u that comes from my heart is RESPECT sir... Being a friend, a player, a champion, a saviour, a god like support and a memer...
U did all so perfectly and made it memorable for us all...
We all respect ur decision and thank u for being u always...
Have a blessed life ahead mate.
PS. I hope u have a smile when u read my comment. 😂❤️😊👍
Jerax! Best pos4! Truly legend
I always watch his (and TNC.tims's) games on player perspective when i want to improve playing support. He defined the importance of pos 4 on each game. I hope i can see you again play even on pubs. Thanks Jesse.
Jerax will always be remembered for his great plays. More than that a great personality, humble human being and who can forget that smiling face in every situation.
For the memes! Thank you, Jerax.
Love for OG. Such an amazing team, everything built from zero, different personalities, different nationalities, but same goal.
BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST.
I have nothing more than respect for you guys. Keep aiming big y'all.
Amazing player, seems to be an even better person to have in your life. Wish you all the best for your next venture, JerAx!
truly a legend! savior of OG 🌻 thank you, jerax ❤️
Thank you for the Journey Jerax💙
jesse is just a ball of sunshine. constantly reminding us to play for fun and the memes.
cant really think of anyone else that can replace him, not talking in terms of skills but vibe and energy. you can see how genuine he is in what he does.
thank you, jerax 🙏🏼
Honestly, OG is my inspiration to improve my playstyle in Dota. I learn from ana to do everything he can. I learn fron Topson how to confident and always think out of the box. I learn from Ceb and notail how to motivate my teammate and make a strategy. The last, Jerax is my role model to play as pos 4. Thank you for all your things, Jesse. Wish you all the best!
"i'm just playing a game, its simple" JerAx god
All we can say is Thank you Jesse, and wish you the best in whatever goal you set yourself up against for the future!
I practiced earth spirit because of this guy
Me too. Fav player
earth spirit/shaker?
@@frylfrq his earth spirit is on different level than earth shaker to be honest jerax is god of earth
Me too. I start to play earth spirit because of him, i love the hero until now, and became my main hero.
Mad respect, Jesse. Anyone in any game, any sport, any competitive environment, can learn from you and of course OG. Kiitos!
Farewell Best pos.4 of all time Jerax ❤
Thank you for all the amazing plays you've done that caught our hearts 💕
I'll gonna miss Tiny Airlines plays 😔
Jerax was always my favourite player in OG. There's so much to be learned from his play style. Very sad to see him go.
Thank you JerAx 🙏 I just hope one day you return to play for OG when they need you or just to play one more game , but thank you JerAx you’re a legend!!
Always hold a special position in my heart, J-GOD!
JerAx you are best!!Thanks for all!!!Good luck
THANK YOU JESSE. U WILL ALWAYS BE OUT GREAT SUPPORT INITIATOR. GO WILD MAN GO WILD EVEN NOT AS PLAYER. JUST GO WILD AND PASSIONATE WHAT UR DOING MAN.
THANK YOU MAN..
Jesse! I watched u control the game. You are the savior of OG! You have so many iconic play! God bless you Jesse! You are a legend!!
🌻🌻thank you...you will remain forever in our hearts 💓
Without a shadow of a doubt Jerax you are one of best players ever to touch the game and what you achieved on an individual level and with OG as a team will always be remembered. You definitely deserve all the rest in the world and maybe ... maybe .. one day we can see you again in the pro scene.
I don't know guys but I felt so much emotion seeing eart spirit at the back of Jerax.. This guys is one of the reason why I love watching Dota2 and OG play as a team as well. Thank you for those amazing skills Jessie.
"I was playing video games. It's very simple" - Jerax
I still root for OG but Jerax is the main reason I fell in love with team OG! Miss him bad but it was just an absolute treat watching Jesse play! ❤
One of the kindest players leave the game.. Still a bit heartbroken. An inspiration of the modern position 4 ❤️
JerAx is the reason why i love playing position 4. Thank you Jesse!!!
7.25 Patch Notes:
Earth Spirit buffed back again.
My DOTA 2 hero, thankyou Jesse. Idolizing u since Boston Major, Salute to you.
A legendary Dota player and also a wonderful human being. Thank you, and wish you all the best, Jesse !
A legend, straight up.
Earth was seen as a legendary hero because of this man. All the respect, bro. 🤜
Thank you JerAx! I started to play earthspirit because of you! Rest well J god
Thank you for showing us the monstrocity of Tiny Airlines and above all, thank you for being an awesome human being. See you soon, Legend
I am so glad you got the chance to proof yourself. GL further on
Thumbnail looks Insane! The spirit 🤟
most words i have ever heard from him, it was nice!
I will miss your play hope u comeback jerax the terax pos 4 from OG
OG will never be the same again. Thank you for inspiring me be a pos4. You will always be missed.
Really hope to see you as talent in next major or for sure TI!
Always gonna miss you JerAx 😢😢😢
i only get the courage to watch it just now. been avoiding this video. JerAx 💔🥺
Very straight forward answer briliant words. Awesome guy
He has a dream to win TI but when the time OG had there hard time because one of its core member left. He stayed instead of going to other top tier teams and decided to rebuild with his 2 more teammates. He can say that its so worth it staying with his friends, rebuilding and winning TI. Very humble person and very good at the game. Thank you jerax.
JerAx was my favorite player. I loved his play style
I love the New OG boys and can't wait what is in store for the squad!
But I also hope one day the OG squad from TI8 gets back together one last time even if its just to hangout.
i just love this guy so much
12:46 "there is small chance I will return someway"
not as dota player tho, but still good thing to me
Inb4 Jerax starts playing LoL
NNNOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Cs go maybe?
Guys please, clearly it’s artifact
Coach maybe..
Kiitoksia JerAx ja olet elävä legenda! / Thank you JerAx and you are the living legend! 🙏
Jessie, you ARE the support! Absolute legend GG WP♡
I don't know if you'll ever read this Jesse, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your years in Dota 2. You are without question my all-time favorite player, and especially seeing you and the rest of OG elevate the pro scene these past two years has been a true adventure. I respect and admire you beyond what I can put into words. You made plays I could not believe as I watched them, you memed and kept things fun even when it seemed hopeless, and you cemented yourself as the best position 4 player in the history of this game. And no, that is not up for discussion. Thank you, for being you, and being true to yourself and your teammates, all the way. Congratulations on your breathtaking career, and all the best to you moving forward!
I just enjoyes watching their true sight and they give me motivation to play dota 2 again OG the best
God I miss you babe 💓 it gives me smile Everytime I see you playing and your tactics is incredible I hope I see you playing again someday ❤️
He is just everything to me, man. As a support player, I always admire him. I am a filipino but I admire him more than Tims.
Analytical, highly skilled, constant desire to improve, unselfish team player. Best pos4. Ever. GG Jerax
The best of the best pos4's in Dota2 history. A very humble and good guy. Stuck with n0tail thru good and bad times. GOAT. OG.
The best thing about him is the memes. Thanks, JerAx "The Savior of OG"
Thank you JerAx for changing how we see Pos 4 supports
He has given a lot of consideration to leaving and he does it for good reasons. It's also clear that, when he talks about giving space for those who desire to play more, he means it. I was kind of choking up when I watched this, and I doubt I was the only one.
