- Every hero has a storyline that defines them. Sometimes it’s a fateful event that turns an ordinary person into a legend, or maybe it’s through their determination to overcome heart-breaking adversity.
Whatever form these moments take, one thing is certain - they don’t present themselves that often. But when they do - if they’re seized - they’re capable of changing lives forever. Now for most people, these unforgettable landmark instances are fleeting, they simply can’t be savoured for long enough.
But in the strange case of Owen “ODPixel” Davies, he couldn’t wait for his moment to be over.

And I wouldn't have been able to do it all without the incredible support from the fans, of which there are such an awesome amount that share the same level of passion for the game as I do. Much love to you all!
First
Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeb
Owen, thank you so much for representing the UK in Dota so well.
Love from a Dota player
I took a pic with you at Bham 2019 and it's my favourite pic of all time, even though I was awkward as hell.
I also took an even more awkward pic with PFlax at weatherspoons, so on the odd chance that you read this. Please do tell him that you are the only true s-tier Brit.
I love you too, Owen! Not as much as I love Bulldong but you both make the game even better and Dota wouldn't be the same without you.
The Ceeeeeeeeeeeeb moment was even more impactful coming from ODPixel because he always talks so quickly in teamfights.
No One, i repeat NO ONE WHO CAN SWAP OD when casting dota.
Every game that man cast, will be more "heat" in the play 😅
"When you hear a guy, who normally talks so fast, just stop and shout one word 'CEEEEEEEEEEEEEB'" - Shever
I bet you watch videos at 1x 😂😂😂
He could just talk fast like he always done before, but he just went CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB

CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBHE GETS THE CALL, OF HIS LIFETIME
still get goosebumps listening to that
True AF
me too.
Yeah. The feels of the appa ult + es echo is like that ceb call
Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb
Same here
Who woulda thought this guy would be featured on this channel? Man, its such a delight to see such kinda stories. 💯
He had an interview here a few years back, I believe it's titled "Between the Pixels"
He had to much of his mom's spaghetti
*too (at least I Think so)
BrudiDog, yeah it’s too
But his knees ain't weak
This comment made my day!
He's nervous. But on the surface...
Glad you made this. We're lucky to have odpixel in dota community, such a great guy.
Awesome name
Techies?
10:58 "OD's career was rapidly on the rise"
*shows him literally rising with his chair*
I see what you did there.
Nice catch brother! I was too lost in the bliss to notice.
they also showed od spitting out fire bars while casting when they mentioned he was associated with eminem hahha
Never heard of this guy.
Never played DOTA.
Never attended an event.
And yet I love this guy.
You should watch TI8 True Sight, It's like watching anime movie.
I made my wife watch it and she love it even she doesn't understand anything about Dota.
same
@@KakRama the red bull OG documentary is much better imo
@@anshumaanpurohit6707 redbull documentary for the backstory, true sight for the finale
@@KakRama It doesnt looked like an anime lol its better than anime. Dont get me wrong i love anime. Its just this "True sight" TI documentary is on another level of reality behind players perspective.
The first game he casted was a game with N0tail playing xD
Coincidence? ... I like it because they're both among my favorite Dota 2 personalities !!!
Ahh yes the c9 throw with ee sama remember it was still yesterday
The 3 hours game, right?
positivity ehh?
Isnt ceb on that game too? On the opposite side.
@@sohaylemacauna3483 Nah. Ceb was on Alliance at the time. They played in the same tournament (C9 kicked Alliance out of the lower bracket), but not in this game.
If you're interested, you find the tournament (StarLadder 12) on Liquipedia, this was the 2nd game of the first series in the first group stage of EU+CIS.
ODpixel: *exist*
Eminem: finally, our battle will be legendary
talk fast doesnt made you Rap God, even my mom can equally matched against OD when she angry.
Rap is about rhyme syllable meaning flow and intender.
@@narutosundel655 you do know he do it on the spot its free style, Eminem need time to prepare od do it on stage on game
@@NarutoUzumaki-yp1fn no.
As i see a C9vsSFZ game i cant stop myself from telling you the joke from russian cast of that game. It was around 160 minutes in when a guy sends a meme to a caster through twitter. It can be translated as:
Watching this game - made me hungry. Wife bring me a supper. Before the start of game i was single.
So this game was so memorable that i rewatch it once every like 1-2 years just to remind me of that clown fiesta.
Watching the game live, when it already passes the 200 min mark the game was breaking, that made me almost laugh every teamfight that happens cause it was chaotic
I've played dota more than 15k hours,watched every TI from the Navi's era, to Chinese era to Europe's Era for strategies, drafting, hero plays, team plays and many more. And I have the privelage of replaying the game more than once to understand what's happening in the game and....
This man Raps about it. LIVE.
You can't be a commentator THIS good without loving the game you're commentating.
for 15k hours, wat is ur rank
@@langs6005 herald 1 like all of us
I remember watching that C9 vs SFZ game, took a nap when EE was hitting the 2nd rax since I thought the game was over, and woke up to see the game still going on. What a ride.
the first series he casted had bigdaddy on c9 roster , and 3 and 4 years later , both the of the international grandfinals he had the chance to cast were won by the same dude bigdaddy - nota1l :) ( irrelative but a beautiful coincidence).
huge respect to ODpixel for all what he's done through the years, and I hope for even a brighter future for him.
Let’s be honest now, we would have expected Tobi to cast TI8 Finals. Never have I been absolutely delightful being wrong with Owen taking the seat
Exactly
Tobiwan no more. Sad
why didnt they give a 2nd chance to tobiwan if the incident isnt related to dota
@@danielsuarez4872 also why Zyori is still casting? I thought he was also involved with the issue?
@@peterpandamdager5050 zyori is innocent, unlike tobi
Chorus: Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb
Ceeeeeeeeeeeeb
Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb!
I lost it at the "dubidubidapdap" part. Lol
bigyan nang jacket
His brain, is what i envy the most. To interpret so much things happened on screen, and spite that out, is outstanding...
ODpixel
Lodi ❤
Dubidubi dapdap
Lakad matataaag!
I get shivers and goosebumps listening to ODpixel‘s casts. His passion for the game is always shining and I’m really grateful that he’s such a figure in the DOTA community
This is a really awesome mini doc man, keep it up!
you aint got shivers he got shivers
What is that thumbnail? OD is my fav decent boi
OMG seeing N0tail on C9. Seems like it wasn’t that long ago. I’m glad OG was born after this and I’m glad Johan stuck to his ideals and didn’t give them up like Tal did. Definitely deserved to be one of the first 5 players to be two time Ti winners.
13YoJest13 how many players have 2 ‘tis? Ana jerax notail topson ceb and kuroky?
valerian 😂this guy is so mad
@@KidTrigger you just can't comprehend their humor dude. They're OG fans themselves, but what's cool nowadays is self-deprecating humor
@valerian you reek of insecurity and depression
James Aditya 😂💀best reply i ever seen
finally a video about ODPixel Thank you...
Finally, recognition to those who are sort of behind the scene. Kudos, ODpixel's a legend - just like OG.
Feel bad for Dupreeh everytime i see this. I get sad :(
What the story?
@@datasmith4294 his dad passed away on the same day/weekend of the event.
Remember watching it live, heart crushing.
@@chicco5033 yea same :(
tragic
🖤
My favorite qualities of od are the genuine emotions he conveys and his grinding attitude. He wasn't handed his position because of people he knows or some type of deal or connection he worked for it and he deserved it. I was just starting dota around the scaryfacez and cloud9 game and I tuned in knowing very very little and purge and od became instant favorites of mine. So glad I've gotten to see od become a fan favorite
I've enjoyed every game he's casted. Love the guy!! Congrats for coming this far ODP! The GOAT!
Watching this recap brings me back so good. These goosebumps and the ti OD is a fking legend!
My favorite caster of all time. Very quick witted and always brings the hype.
Nice great job! Really enjoyed content! Much love! Keep it going!
Should’ve included when he said in ti 8 finals “if you had told me there would’ve been a game 5, I would have walked away”
OD is really cool and he totally didn't tell me to write that
I've always been interested in the rise of ODPixel. I know SFZ vs C9 had something to do with it. He kinda just came out of nowhere.
When OD and Tobi are casting, it makes the games a lot more epic. Too bad tobi is gone now. Hope he turns his life around. For now, we’re still lucky that OD is here.
So glad you've done a video on the legend thank you well deserved Owen
Amazing caster! Speed and wit, everything are on point.
I like this type of uplifting story! Hopefully ODPixel is finding ways to spend his time in 2020, maybe writing more piano songs or creating Bob Ross tutorials 😘
Not only that OG made history but also ODpixel. Casting the grand finals twice for the first 2 time, and back to back champs is really overwhelming.
Been following this guy from the beginning and I knew he would be big someday. Here it is, So happy for him man.
Absolutely Perfect video!
The rap god is a damn great caster and an underrated funny guy. King of Banter too!
This guy's rapping and freestyle skills are no joke.
I remember watching TI 5 for the first time and then i read his name ODPixel and i was like.. who is this guy? and after i watched that game it burns a fire in my heart as if he was taking my excitement in the game and turn it into a commentary which made me enjoy the game even more and that's when i know he'll be great and the rest is history.. GL Further ODPixel
I remember watching this game with my friends in an internet cafe back when betting was popular. Some players on cloud9 were even tweeting while the game was going on.
I can just imagine tobi watching this with tears.
Finally!! A recognition for mah boi in theScore Eaports ❤️
I'm really proud of u man
“Looks like you in the morning” lmao
only og's know this : between the pixels
Before he got his TI Finals cast
This video was
> Absolutely perfect.
ODpixel's commentary and OG's best plays are such a godly GOOSEBUMPS combo!
thanks for the video
Still haven't watched it all but you cannot claim to talk about Esports' greatest Rap God and not talk about the man CHILLINDUDE829
They talked about him
Ya they did
One of the greatest and was able to take 5 games from Leffen. Absolute legend
Is it just me or "Purge" looks like mature version of shroud.
No. shroud is the purge that plays cs go
Hmmm I can't disagree with you
Absolutely Perfect
That thumbnail is pure art. Commends
Imagine playing with him in a pub game. ODpixel can play and shoutcast at the same time lol.
Loving the content! Keep up!
My favourite caster right now! 👍🏻
CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB.Gets the call, of his life.
-time
-He
I don't even like DOTA, but this guy's enthusiasm is infectious.
No get out bro
Go play tetris
more infectious than covid-19
Same, The enthusiasm and originality he has really draws people to him I feel.
Is that a necrophos pun?
Waited so long for this
Didn't realise notail was in the same match which got ODpixel his recognition. And now all these years later, the OG matches that he commentates are always hype.
He did really emerged from that 200mins Agonizing Game kekw
5:46 Kuya Will approves
Dubidubidapdap
Respect the grind
Ah yes SFZ vs c9 game 2, still remember that game like it was yday.
Sheever- dam it looks like a dinosaur,
OD- Looks like you in the morning.
Epic hahah
still getting goose bumps on that ceb call moment everytime i see it.
He is not just fast talker. But the vocabs that he has is huge. Plus, he not really repeating words compare to other caster. Moreover i love him because when he cast. He talk about the current situation in the game not really about the player pass or whatsoever. Current situation information or hype more valuable for me.
4:23 I just want to talk about this, There is a reason why dota casters are so distinguishable from other game casters, its because of their genuine love for the game, while many casters force themselves to love the game they cast, dota casters truly love the game.
thanks, glad you appreciated it
RIP Toby 2020
Ever since I was a kid, I've been searching and searching for Waldo.
Today I finally found him!
I am proud I watched that match.. Legendary
5:45
Is that a koya wel reference? LMAO!
💀💀💀💀
😂
Od is really cool!!!
God that TI8 still gives me chills 2 years later. Been a fan since the first iteration
that "dubidapdap" part. damn you willie revillame, and thank you!
OD Pixel is really cool!
OD Pixel is really really cool actually!
OD is really cool
if you are going to show the envy play, you must show the picture where the whole team secret looks at envy after that play.
TI8 Grand Finals still gives me goosebumps
Jesus that thumbnail
There will never not come a moment in my life where I won't get goosebumps from game 4 grandfinals TI8 and Cebs axe call! NEVER!
What makes OD Pixel shining is his style of casting imo. He is a perfect combination of 2 best Football casters style: Al Jazeera's Hype + British analytical
Arabic football commentator 🤣
@@fadelbaabud8968 that exactly what I thought if list to OD's cast. That arabic football caster. The hype tho 🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait for the vid on iconic dota caster Tobi ........... oh wait
Oof
ODPixel is cool!
when i heard it was gonna be OD and Merlini casting in the TI 8 grand final it was a dream come true
Hello from his stream! :)
If you like our RUclips content, be sure to check out our live offerings over @ Twitch.tv/thescoreesports!
What's your favourite ODPixel moment?
That TI8 CEB moment and all the way to the winning moment just gave me chills. That's how amazing that casting is.
"tagalog" and "dubidapdapdapdapdapdap" are the best ODPixel moments for me. Also with "Ceeeeeeeeeeeeb" lol
pignoise
I knew this was coming, I've watched the game twice and it was actually pretty good.
It's Absolute Perfect !
To think he got his big break from how useless EE is as a carry
should be a big entry on EE's resume
From what match?
I noticed it too.. it was EEsama who gave him some memorable CEB like moment. Props to EEsama. Hahaha
ODpixel is cool. And he didn't tell us to say it here btw.
Just listening to him makes me run out of breath
Ceeeeeeeb was 2nd on my book. The first was odpixel's wtf call after adfinem won a series against OG in the major finals. That shit was gold.
dota 2 has the best casters
I love how this guy covering the story constantly complains about League and says he cant understand anything that goes on in that game and yet here I am thinking Dota is way more ridiculous and chaotic. To each there own I guess.
League has faster cast times with all their spells. Once you press a button, the spell comes out. Dota has variable cast times so there is some delay. In my opinion, every spell in dota looks distinct and has differing animation, thus easier to follow.
League of lesbian :(
It's literally a matter of playing one game or the other more.
I haven't played league since doto went into beta so if I were to watch a pro league match right now I'd have 0 clue what the fuck is going on.
LOL is how a game should looks like-
For kids.
I remember watching that game years ago, legendary
