Sabriel Guindon well first of all you need to know the meta and what and when you should pick a hero..for example if you see that your team will be creating space..a hard late game carry like AM is the best in this type of game...now as a support..supporting is a little tricky..most of us think that a good support should be buying wards not getting any farm and dying instead of a core hero in the team...thats not the case, because you have to find those lvls and that farm in order to buy wards and have item and lvl progression.and the most important thing! ADAPT YOUR PLAYSTYLE! example: with earthshaker i go items like dagger->force staff->shivas->octarine->hex->greaves but against a pl the item build goes like this:arcane->dagger->force staff->Veil->agha->shivas or octarine depending on the situation of the other team members..bottom line.dont get sad if you lose a couple of games..you have to go down and then reach the top slow and steady
+rovaz i hope bernie sanders taxes dota pool prize. 1 million dollars is too much. I hope bernie taxes that pool prize at least 50%. I think dota 2 players will lead a happy life with 500 thousand dollars. Even if it is shared among a lot of players it is still more than earning the minimum wage.
Inspiring, excellently paced and ties together the stories of 3 players extremely well with a satisfying and tear-jerking conclusion. A must watch for anyone regardless of whether or not they like or play DOTA. Pretty much a benchmark that other eSports documentaries will be judged by.
I shed a tear when i learned that Dendie's father died. Well actually severall but you get the point becouse if i lost my father i would probably die aswell.
I loved that line from Dendi's mom, where she mentioned that he was actually very patient and could just sit there for hours and fish. The irony that Dendi was often called out because of his impatience in games. It tells you how powerful of an impact his father had on him.
I have no idea how i came across this site and movie. I am a father of two teenagers who love I their consoles, phones and tablets. But the guys in this movie are not addicted but so motivated it purely amazes me. Great movie that opens your eyes to the gaming world. Beats my monotonous job.
Simply amazing. To those who are complaining that this is just a commercial for DOTA 2, you clearly didn't watch it properly. This video highlights the struggles of pro gamers and shows how E Sports as a whole has grew massively. Yeah the game that's used to show these issues and accomplishments is DOTA, but why shouldn't it be? It's made by Valve!
This isn't aimed at any one in particular, there's just a lot of negative comments for strange reasons. Sure it's advertising DOTA, but that isn't the main focus of the film :D

As a Singaporean male in his late 20s, I completely relate to hyhy's story. Our parents went through a really hard life and believed that studies were the only way out for a better life. They saw that doctors and lawyers were the only ones doing well and naturally, doing anything else was a waste of time. Can't blame them for having this mindset and lets hope that we will be more open-minded to the opportunities future generations have
I'd say that most asian parents, loving that they are, are also quite grounded in the realities of life. And the reality is that at times, playing a safe bet is better than going after that impossible dream. And yes the Internationals, with its fame and prestige is a huge gamble for Scythe and very much a dream that is too good to be true - and in the end that dream swallowed Scyhe along with all the rest, and Navi are the only ones able to live the dream of becoming the champions.
Well they weren't entirely wrong. E-Sports then (don't know about now) doesn't have the kind of backing to support players in a 'bad year'. In this case it was make or break for Hyhy and unfortunately it broke, leaving him with nothing and a year gone by of his life and nothing to show for it, which means another year of living off his parents instead of being able to support himself. I admire the risk Hyhy took, but it was a risk at the expense of not only his immediate future, but those who have to now look after his financial needs for another year. Well technically they don't have to, they could just boot him out onto the street, but you get my meaning.
***** Lmfao even if you're gaining 25 mmr a day (the average for 1 won match) just 1 year, playing only 250 days in that year, you could have the highest mmr in the world even IF you only started at 2,000 mmr (which is SHIT by the way).

This documentary is one of the most inspiring pieces of media i have ever seen. I live in an environment that is incredibly antagonistic towards gaming. My family looks down at me, I keep it as separate as i can from my social life and only my closest friends really know that i even enjoy playing games. This film has the potential to change everyones perception of gaming entirely, I really hope that it reaches people in my area (Perth, Australia) and changes the way people view 'us'. They shun, and disrespect 'us' and feel like they are better than us. What's worse is that for so long i had nothing to say to defend and justify myself. I stay inside and play games in my free time, i play games at night while my family sits at the other end of the house and every time they see me playing a game they go quiet and leave. The point that the asian girl in the film about how once the gamers today grow up and have children and support them and their hobby rather than shun them and try and prevent it like my parents and so many others did, then we will start to see a change in perception towards gaming. :)
Well you have to brake common misconception and show them why you like it. You shouldn't let anyone look down at you and there is absolutely no reason to hide fact that you enjoy and who know hows many of your friends play games because you feel ashamed you hide it and then you give them reason to disrespect you. So stand your ground and show them there is northing wrong with it. I don't see people disrespect chess players that committed their life to the game.

@@Dolfinius Whoa, it's nice to hear from Hyhy again after all this time. Funny, though, I feel like he's at the best of both worlds despite not completely excelling in either. He didn't win TI or the like, but he had proven there's some merit in gaming after his 'blind' leap of faith.
What a wonderful journey so far. Gaming and eSports as a whole has created something absolutely breathtaking. Bringing so many passionate gamers together to make something incredible. Shame on you if you clicked on this video to make a comment comparing one game to another, because this video isn't about that. This video is about gamers who are dedicated to what they love, and how eSports have given them the opportunity to turn their love of the game into a lifestyle. I can only dream of one day being able to do the same with my passion for gaming, and if it was ever possible, then right now is the time. Thank you Valve for reminding me why I love this community so much.
and it gives us the non pro players to look forward to something big theres millions of players in league and in dota 2 those fans there could be next years champions. its some thing to strive for if you are a gamer or its some thing you just casually enjoy as a gamer something to look up to.
So much nostalgia watching this again after so many years. I still remember when i didnt have a pc and i was so hyped to plat dota, i would go to the local internet cafe everyday after class and think about dota day and night. Now im fortunate i have a pc and intenet to play whenever i want to
Same as your story so hyped to play but i too dint had pc back days. Finally i got my own pc and all was fun. Then the reality struck now i have a job and i cannot play my dota anymore. But always i watch international and dota watafak every week. I miss my childhood dota
9 Years Later. I'm no longer playing Dota competitively. My new MMR is my Work, Business and earning Money irl. Thank you Dota for being part of my childhood. I am thankful I am able to to play instead of doing drugs and was able to shape my life. you are a real G.
I've never played DOTA, or even watched anyone else play it, but this documentary is a great insight in to not only the game but the life of professional players (and gamers in general) and actually pretty inspiring, to get you to push for your passions and not give up even if you get knocked down along the way. Better that 90% of the dross that comes out these days!
@Gib Gibon You do realize most of the CIS pro players like Magical, Silent and Iceberg cite Dendi as their greatest inspiration? For me, that in itself, is extraordinary.
god i love valve. for no reason did they need to make this film, but they did + plus they put it on youtube for everyone to see for free.... absolutely incredible.
***** you really think the amount of money involved in making such a documentary will come back from in-game purchases? Movies/documentaries costs A LOT, if they wanted to advertise Dota they had better/cheaper ways. For once I think we can simply think they made it cause they like to and care :)
Margalus89 I'm pretty sure they made this film so that in 10 years when competetive gaming is commonplace there is some record saying dota 2 and valve started it all.
Benjamin Botwin nop, every true gamer knows for example Counter Strike and its scene at LANs and stuff, same with UT back when players had to bring their own computers to the tournament lolz.
wow!simply brilliant. I never knew how much went into being an online gamer. Completely impressed me beyond words. Thanks for the uploading it. Kudos to all involved. Cheers.
"i dont really mind about the numbers, even if it just 1 or 2 i am happy. its not about the numbers, i think...."-dendi Surprisingly he was right, its about the revolutionary moment that change the world, e sport is now a way of life.
For how old this video is it still hits home and inspires me to follow my dreams cause it’s easy to fall into the trap of living life and trying to be normal. Cause let’s be honest everyone judges you when you’re not going with the program. I like videos like this. So thank you.
Fear in 2013 before his teammates left him to join Secret, the wrist injury that put him into retirement and EG were a walking joke: "I mean, deep down inside, I know this career is going to work out for me in the end." 2015 he wins TI5.
Wow all those feels about the Dendi story. Never followed DOTA that much (although I played it like 8 years ago via Hamachi). GREAT documentary. A must watch for every esports or gaming enthusiast! :)
I think I have watched this video for more than 10 times, but for real, I never get bored on it. I literally learn something from this video to work hard and never give up on your passion, even if you don't get anything in the end. I'm not a professional gamer, I'm just a casual gamer who has a job everyday. I will achieve my goals, whatever it takes.
Hardcore league player, hardcore pro scene of league follower, but still have mad respect for all these people. No matter your game, to have the skill, dedication, and guts to go for something like this is one of the most respectable things in the community nowadays and I have so much respect for all who pave way into this community!!
Exactly, I think LoL is NEEDED to help the esport scene. Especially for PC gaming. It gives younger players and more inexperienced gamers a chance to get into esports.
I have played at most 5 or 6 hours of DoTA in my entire life, despite my brother-in-law's best tries to get me into it (He has 500-600 hours as of this post and is only slowed down by his job). However, he recommended that I watch this documentary, and I can not honestly say that I have ever been more into a documentary in my whole life. Valve did a great job explaining the game enough so if you have at least a basic knowledge of the game you can totally follow it. It was inspiring, and while I am still fairly certain that I won't play DoTA much more I will try and play other games more competitively. This is also really inspiring because, well, it shows that e-sports has come a long way. I personally detest all sports, yet I love videogames and those who play them professionally. There is just something uncanny about how scarily good some players are, and how you can always come up with a new strategy. A lot of other sports have very specific rules, and that's just the way you play. But in videogames you can always have a new brilliant idea, a new strategy that might just win you something big. Like $1,000,000.
This is a truly mindblowing movie. A portrait of dedicated people that justifies the true passion for an outstanding game like Dota! Thank you Valve!!!
I'm here in 2024 and I have to say, Dendi now hits different. I lost my dad in the pandemic... I know well the feeling. But he said something amazing: Something can knock you down but you need to learn to get up.
"Danil has the same control and patience of his father." But at the beginning of the video teammates are quoted on Dendi tending to overextend and become impatient. Not pointing out any flaw, but pointing out how different family sees a person compared to a fellow gamer. Gaming unleashes a new beast in someone. That's passion. Incredible piece of documentary from top to bottom.
Yeah it was pointed out that Dendi is impatient but on his last battle against EHome where he is forced to pick Enigma, he learns that it's his flaws so he became very patient and just wait for a perfect ulti. And that's how they won the game.
still cried even on 2023... the story we cant tell everyone the feeling and the goosebumps to be a athlete and pro player.... going into LAN tournament, the atmosphere and audience, its so beautiful... thanks dota, even im not success here, u give me a great memories! long last dota, in the next i will teach my son how to play this game
I watched this when this was originally released, and I was upset when Fear lost. Since then I drifted away from DOTA, and I was just browsing the internet recently and found out that Fear's team won the latest International with the LARGEST prize pool. I am so happy for that guy!
I finally know why dendi is God-like when playing invoker and Pudge Piano skills for those Invoker combos, and fishing skills for those oh so sexy Pudge hooks
***** Yep, I'm showing this in my English class (I teach at a Japanese university) today. Your average Japanese student doesn't even realize PC gaming is a "thing", so showing them this really blows their mind. :)

I started playing Dota because of this documentary, not because I wanted to become a pro but because their dedication motivated me to undertake the daunting task of learning this massive game, and I did. It took me about 300 hours to truly understand the game but I eventually did and played it for thousands of hours. I quit around 2017 but recently returned. The magic is still there.
I miss the first day I launched Dota... Something about the way I looked everything changed... These videos meant so much to me. I just don't think it'll ever be the same, The players, The hype, The passion. Still play you Dota, But I miss the old you
Watching this after a 5 game losing streak really keeps you moving. You remember that with enough time and practice, it could be you grabbing that aegis at the end of TI as the crowd goes insane and fireworks shoot up everywhere. You have the chance, as slim as it may be, to win something this big and get credit for something you really like to do.
Amazing job Valve, this is great documentary. I was fascinated with the lives of these guys, how they sacrifice for the pursuit of their passion, and even if they lose I respect their choices and the way they learn from their mistakes and become better version of themselves. I personally enjoyed it alot even if dont like MOBA games.
I don't even play the game anymore but I really want Team Secret to win again this year. With all the chaos and strife going on in the CIS region with some secret players being from Ukraine this could be a Cinderella story of them winning against literally all odds
After watching all of the True Sights, still...this video will never gets old. This is where it started, where it begins. Truly a *MASTERPIECE* Good ol'days✨
The guy from Scythe gave me the feels, I could see in his eyes how sad and hurt he is and how much his ex means to him. I'm sure if my gf broke up with me, I'd try to make millions off of tennis...right now I'm only in junior college playing #1 singles and doubles and top 40 in state, I hope that's enough to make my gf proud of me. As much as I would have loved to be a pro gamer, I don't think I could do it, the pros are the top 0.5-1% of the world who have the ability to play at that level and I don't think I have that.
I am a league of legends player, but I was certainly a very well made documentary. I really enjoyed watching it and it was nice to see the other side of the rainbow. I think DotA 2 is a great game, but it's just not my cup of tea after being so used to LoL now. I am happy that games like LoL and DotA are promoting and making the eSports scene bigger, attracting more attention to a growing sport
Good luck with it. As a minor warning though, it is a very complex game, and the players can be quite abusive. That said it is worth getting into. If you understand how the game works, you can see why the pro players are magicians behind the keyboard!
if youre starting to play this game, start slow, dont play with a high leveled friend as you will get flamed for taking the team down(and also if he finds the game the players in the game will be his level so you wont stand a chance), when you start the game you will be playing with your leveled players, so theyre as noob as you are and there is no shame in admitting that. just be friendly and they will be friendly back and just dont lose your patience and youll be fine. glhf and enjoy -experienced player
Just play with friends and your team will not flame you, then if the other team is nice be friendly an do not start flaming on your own, if they are unfriendly just do not write back ANYTHING.
I feel so bad for Hy. You can see the typical strict Asian parent here. They put too much pressure on education that they don't even notice the positives. They just laugh at Hy.
yup....same like that here in south asia (nepal for me).... and every fucking where in asia really. wtf is with this studies obsession, and i wasnt even bad at studies was always top 10 percentile but my parents werent satisfied
Students today are in a box, afraid to go out of their comfort zones, afraid to become what they want to be because of the pressure of their parents to excel in studies. I would say that not all students today are destined to be great scholars. I believe this because I know that some are destined to be dancers, basketball players, race car drivers, or even professional gamers.
Asia was undeveloped and exploited just a while ago... It's not surprising that asian parents focus on study that much, as asians saw first hand the technical superiority from Europe and the US applied to domination and understood that this is what rules the world. It will take generations to let go this mentality.
Please no one bring the MOBA war here no one cares if you play LoL,DOTA,Smite, or InfiniteCrisis nobody cares which is your favourite time killer as long as you have fun so pls leave the comment section clean of hate thank you P.S. This movie is great
It was 1-2 years ago. I didn't even have an idea what MOBA was. Then I heard everyone talking about this game called "League Of Legends" I decided to try it. I've played it for a while. I quite enjoyed it. Then I decided to quit because I became too addicted to it and I had an important exam soon. After the exam I was not sure if I should start playing again. Then I heard my friends argueing about which one is better: LoL or DOTA 2. I decided to try this other game called DOTA 2. I liked it even more than LoL. I thought it was better. Now I play both but I enjoy and play dota 2 more. But I've watched only a few tournament games. I'm not really into watching people play. I prefer playing it myself. Unless it's a horror game because I'm a big baby :( Anyways so I didn't know anything about the pro teams and players of The International before watching this. And after watching this I can say 4 THINGS for certain: 1- Dendi looks like a really cool and nice guy. 2- Watching this made me feel hyped about the tournaments unlike before. I'm definitely going to watch TI5 finals. 3- Dendi picked a hero in the tournaments he never played before? That's true balls right there. 4- All this information about me above was useless and probably wasted your time. lol sorry :P
+Mitchell Egan yes maybe it's true. everyone gets angry at each other while playing these games. so pro players like dendi who take this game seriously can get REALLY mad
People saying this is just an ad for dota... Dota 2 has been playable for years now and they havent spend like any money advertising it, at least in the US. this is more about esports players than dota.
Irrelevant. At the end of the day Valve is still a business and have spent plenty of resources on DOTA. They're not going to spend a lot of time telling a story just for the heck of it.

Funny, though, I feel like he's at the best of both worlds despite not completely excelling in either. He didn't win TI or the like, but he had proven there's some merit in gaming after his 'blind' leap of faith.
FEAR winning 6.6million dollars I feel good for him.

What a wonderful journey so far. Gaming and eSports as a whole has created something absolutely breathtaking. Bringing so many passionate gamers together to make something incredible. Shame on you if you clicked on this video to make a comment comparing one game to another, because this video isn't about that. This video is about gamers who are dedicated to what they love, and how eSports have given them the opportunity to turn their love of the game into a lifestyle. I can only dream of one day being able to do the same with my passion for gaming, and if it was ever possible, then right now is the time. Thank you Valve for reminding me why I love this community so much.
and it gives us the non pro players to look forward to something big theres millions of players in league and in dota 2 those fans there could be next years champions. its some thing to strive for if you are a gamer or its some thing you just casually enjoy as a gamer something to look up to.
librizzi :D
Great post, couldn't have worded it better myself :D
Anyone can tell me what song(piano) dendi play in this movie ?
?
Librizzi brought me here
So much nostalgia watching this again after so many years. I still remember when i didnt have a pc and i was so hyped to plat dota, i would go to the local internet cafe everyday after class and think about dota day and night. Now im fortunate i have a pc and intenet to play whenever i want to
Same as your story so hyped to play but i too dint had pc back days. Finally i got my own pc and all was fun. Then the reality struck now i have a job and i cannot play my dota anymore. But always i watch international and dota watafak every week. I miss my childhood dota
9 Years Later. I'm no longer playing Dota competitively.
My new MMR is my Work, Business and earning Money irl. Thank you Dota for being part of my childhood. I am thankful I am able to to play instead of doing drugs and was able to shape my life. you are a real G.
what team were you part of
Damnnn....
I've never played DOTA, or even watched anyone else play it, but this documentary is a great insight in to not only the game but the life of professional players (and gamers in general) and actually pretty inspiring, to get you to push for your passions and not give up even if you get knocked down along the way.
Better that 90% of the dross that comes out these days!
Still watching it in 2016. EPIC.
same
Fear will be missed. Can't wait to see his impact as a coach.
have you paid money to people you stole their content from?
Hello this was a cool Video can i have a free vive
can I have a free valve
nice cinematics :D
I know that everyone is motivated by this video but remember "there are few who success in gaming"
"there are few who success in gaming" its True, and the rest gamers are just wasting money and time.

i learned very important lesson from this documentary : if you have a rough time in your life just stay in the trees and everything will be fine
HAHAHAH
Until mangina comes and bends you over...
Dendi departs from Navi today. I hope new Dota2 fan will watch this, to know about a legend in our heart, the most popular player of Dota2.
@Gib Gibon and u got 0$
@Gib Gibon your pathetic Dendi is on of the OF and you have no place you to talk crap
@Gib Gibon You do realize most of the CIS pro players like Magical, Silent and Iceberg cite Dendi as their greatest inspiration?
For me, that in itself, is extraordinary.
rip dendi
After 10 years. Dendi was named as the face of dota 💪
god i love valve. for no reason did they need to make this film, but they did + plus they put it on youtube for everyone to see for free.... absolutely incredible.
***** you really think the amount of money involved in making such a documentary will come back from in-game purchases? Movies/documentaries costs A LOT, if they wanted to advertise Dota they had better/cheaper ways.
For once I think we can simply think they made it cause they like to and care :)
Margalus89
I'm pretty sure they made this film so that in 10 years when competetive gaming is commonplace there is some record saying dota 2 and valve started it all.
Benjamin Botwin nop, every true gamer knows for example Counter Strike and its scene at LANs and stuff, same with UT back when players had to bring their own computers to the tournament lolz.
Margalus89 Both made by Valve, Gabe too good
MasterFish Valve didn't make CS nor UT/Dota back in the days if you refer to that. still I agree they're awesome
wow!simply brilliant. I never knew how much went into being an online gamer. Completely impressed me beyond words. Thanks for the uploading it. Kudos to all involved. Cheers.
1million dollars and now we are on a 20million prize pool.
"i dont really mind about the numbers, even if it just 1 or 2 i am happy. its not about the numbers, i think...."-dendi
Surprisingly he was right, its about the revolutionary moment that change the world, e sport is now a way of life.

Yooo
This is truly mind blowing, An amazing documentary that you must watch!
For how old this video is it still hits home and inspires me to follow my dreams cause it’s easy to fall into the trap of living life and trying to be normal. Cause let’s be honest everyone judges you when you’re not going with the program. I like videos like this. So thank you.
Fear in 2013 before his teammates left him to join Secret, the wrist injury that put him into retirement and EG were a walking joke: "I mean, deep down inside, I know this career is going to work out for me in the end."
2015 he wins TI5.
oriaphyn and to think he is still plays well even with his wrist thing, OLD MAN FEARRRR
Wow all those feels about the Dendi story. Never followed DOTA that much (although I played it like 8 years ago via Hamachi). GREAT documentary. A must watch for every esports or gaming enthusiast! :)
Even if you don't play dota and you're just a gamer in general this movie really gets to your feels.
I think I have watched this video for more than 10 times, but for real, I never get bored on it. I literally learn something from this video to work hard and never give up on your passion, even if you don't get anything in the end. I'm not a professional gamer, I'm just a casual gamer who has a job everyday.
I will achieve my goals, whatever it takes.
Hardcore league player, hardcore pro scene of league follower, but still have mad respect for all these people. No matter your game, to have the skill, dedication, and guts to go for something like this is one of the most respectable things in the community nowadays and I have so much respect for all who pave way into this community!!
Exactly, I think LoL is NEEDED to help the esport scene. Especially for PC gaming. It gives younger players and more inexperienced gamers a chance to get into esports.
I have played at most 5 or 6 hours of DoTA in my entire life, despite my brother-in-law's best tries to get me into it (He has 500-600 hours as of this post and is only slowed down by his job). However, he recommended that I watch this documentary, and I can not honestly say that I have ever been more into a documentary in my whole life. Valve did a great job explaining the game enough so if you have at least a basic knowledge of the game you can totally follow it. It was inspiring, and while I am still fairly certain that I won't play DoTA much more I will try and play other games more competitively. This is also really inspiring because, well, it shows that e-sports has come a long way. I personally detest all sports, yet I love videogames and those who play them professionally. There is just something uncanny about how scarily good some players are, and how you can always come up with a new strategy. A lot of other sports have very specific rules, and that's just the way you play. But in videogames you can always have a new brilliant idea, a new strategy that might just win you something big. Like $1,000,000.
Sound Like me In Terraria!
This is a truly mindblowing movie. A portrait of dedicated people that justifies the true passion for an outstanding game like Dota! Thank you Valve!!!
np bro
np man
I'm here in 2024 and I have to say, Dendi now hits different. I lost my dad in the pandemic... I know well the feeling. But he said something amazing: Something can knock you down but you need to learn to get up.
Naga manu?
In a hundred years, E-sports will be the focus of all global entertainment and competition.
So true But ti kinda already is
if we even live long enough.
and if we do, energy will probably be outlawed due to how much we fucked up our world.
Old Murk-Eye We did not fuck up the world. The generation ignorant to global warning did.
Mangy.so
as ignorant to global warming, you mean the people who think it doesn't exist, right?
Old Murk-Eye Yeah, and the people that didn't know it existed in the first place.
Son: Hey Dad, who's this guy? (shows picture of dendi)
Me: Sit down, son. I'm gonna tell you a great story
"Danil has the same control and patience of his father."
But at the beginning of the video teammates are quoted on Dendi tending to overextend and become impatient.
Not pointing out any flaw, but pointing out how different family sees a person compared to a fellow gamer. Gaming unleashes a new beast in someone. That's passion.
Incredible piece of documentary from top to bottom.
Mom knows best.
Yeah it was pointed out that Dendi is impatient but on his last battle against EHome where he is forced to pick Enigma, he learns that it's his flaws so he became very patient and just wait for a perfect ulti. And that's how they won the game.
still cried even on 2023...
the story we cant tell everyone the feeling and the goosebumps to be a athlete and pro player....
going into LAN tournament, the atmosphere and audience, its so beautiful... thanks dota, even im not success here, u give me a great memories!
long last dota, in the next i will teach my son how to play this game
1:07:24
I watched this when this was originally released, and I was upset when Fear lost. Since then I drifted away from DOTA, and I was just browsing the internet recently and found out that Fear's team won the latest International with the LARGEST prize pool. I am so happy for that guy!
me too man
I finally know why dendi is God-like when playing invoker and Pudge
Piano skills for those Invoker combos, and fishing skills for those oh so sexy Pudge hooks
say that to 430 :v
No one has deserved it more than you, Clinton. Congratulations for winning TI5 Fear, you finally did it.
7 years after this was released i still cry everytime i see dendi fishing again. never change dendi
Im going to show my class this if im a teacher someday....
yep
computers :3
It would be so cool if there were gaming classes
I too want to become a teacher but I would prefer history and I would talk to my students about gaming in class free time
***** Yep, I'm showing this in my English class (I teach at a Japanese university) today. Your average Japanese student doesn't even realize PC gaming is a "thing", so showing them this really blows their mind. :)
I nearly cried when it got to dendis story with his dad
The reason Dendi is so good with pudge is because he fishes irl
He's a great mid as well because of his skills in piano. He's also good at getting girls cause he's dendi.
+Drak Sparrow you got it wrong. he gets girls because his piano finger skills ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+The TeamStream That's demented but, well played.
+Doom Lord nice hajime no ippo reference))
after all these years i still think if hyhy just had a little bit more emotional support from his' parents things could have gone way different.
He regrets not staying with competitive gaming. Really wish he'd got his due, hyhy was one of my favorite stars.
Do you know that feeling when you finished an awesome movie like this and you just don't know what to do with your life anymore?
yea it makes you question your very existence and meaning in life.
Phanteus Right, I just think about being like Dendi, would be awesome...
***** Yea, that's the sad thing about it.
Makes me want to quit my job and just totally play dota for the rest of my life.
Joshua Roy LOL you remind me the MKUltra project. Nice play Gabe Newell xDD

***** Dey doon't meter hat much too meh.
I started playing Dota because of this documentary, not because I wanted to become a pro but because their dedication motivated me to undertake the daunting task of learning this massive game, and I did. It took me about 300 hours to truly understand the game but I eventually did and played it for thousands of hours. I quit around 2017 but recently returned. The magic is still there.
hoping the best for u dude
This film is the most human thing I have ever seen... magnificent
I don't know if many people did notice, but the color grading in this Movie is really GREAT.
The feels man...
...The feels is strong with this one...
I miss the first day I launched Dota... Something about the way I looked everything changed... These videos meant so much to me. I just don't think it'll ever be the same, The players, The hype, The passion. Still play you Dota, But I miss the old you
Puppey: Dendi has lack of patience
Dendi's mom: Dendi has level 99999999 of patience
Who the hell should we suppose to believe?
Remember when Puppey said Dendi was so patient because he was a afraid of losing(Before Ravage+Blackhole combo) ?
Puppey said that when he was playing mid and Dendi's mom said that when he was fishing...
An excellent movie that was worth waiting for. Shoutouts to Dota 2, for changing people's lives!

Watching this after a 5 game losing streak really keeps you moving. You remember that with enough time and practice, it could be you grabbing that aegis at the end of TI as the crowd goes insane and fireworks shoot up everywhere. You have the chance, as slim as it may be, to win something this big and get credit for something you really like to do.
+Joey Rather Even if I know that I will never be winning TI, I can at least take away that players far far better than me lose half the time as well.
This realy touched me. I felt the passion of those guys. Speechless...
still here watching for this. hoping they bring back this kind of documentary.
Amazing job Valve, this is great documentary. I was fascinated with the lives of these guys, how they sacrifice for the pursuit of their passion, and even if they lose I respect their choices and the way they learn from their mistakes and become better version of themselves. I personally enjoyed it alot even if dont like MOBA games.
yea i feel same
So touching ,I m almost crying
just try playing MOBA games i didn't like it either in the beginning but in the end i loved it and couldn't stop
Dendi's hobby was fishing. No wonder why he is known for playing Pudge. :D
This is why I love Valve.
Now can you announce HL3?
*Dusty gravity gun in Valve*
HL3 is going to be the hypest visual-novel this side of the universe.
I can't wait for Gordon-kun to ask Headcrab-kun out.

Free to Play, the sequel please!!!!
I've never played Dota but this was an incredible film. Really puts things into perspective.
Here's to Valve making more of these!
After watching all of the True Sights, still...this video will never gets old. This is where it started, where it begins. Truly a *MASTERPIECE* Good ol'days✨
never played dota 2 but this movie is great
start to play this game its awesome
lior shustrman id like to start playing, i played before, but i never thought it was that complicated xD, i need someone to teach me lol

Michael Bahena The reason the youtube comment section is utter garbage is because people feed the trolls. Don't do that.
Jonathan Oliveira u got a point :/
You did it Fear!
The guy from Scythe gave me the feels, I could see in his eyes how sad and hurt he is and how much his ex means to him. I'm sure if my gf broke up with me, I'd try to make millions off of tennis...right now I'm only in junior college playing #1 singles and doubles and top 40 in state, I hope that's enough to make my gf proud of me. As much as I would have loved to be a pro gamer, I don't think I could do it, the pros are the top 0.5-1% of the world who have the ability to play at that level and I don't think I have that.
Thats incredible you're such a great player in tennis even. One thing, do things for yourself, not for anyone else. Good luck!
I feel sad for HYHY but I always respect that man now cause he sacrifice time for one and unforgettable experience of his life. ❤️
I am a league of legends player, but I was certainly a very well made documentary. I really enjoyed watching it and it was nice to see the other side of the rainbow. I think DotA 2 is a great game, but it's just not my cup of tea after being so used to LoL now. I am happy that games like LoL and DotA are promoting and making the eSports scene bigger, attracting more attention to a growing sport
*****
ya, agreed. i play 3-4 games that too of different genres. It's possible to love them all!
did you know that lol actually copied lol?
jim7195 i don't know , please name one ! But careful you could make dota becomes a copy of Aeon of Strife !
Tran Loc Aeon of Strife is purely PvE. LoL is more like DotA than DotA is like AoS.
Respect to you man!
Wow, I've never got a warm fuzzy feeling from a documentary before, well done Valve. I think I'm going to try this Dota 2 thing out this weekend.
OMG!! Did you just call Dota 2 a thing.
You have committed a crime.
Dota 2 is LIFE.
same, it looks fun
Good luck with it. As a minor warning though, it is a very complex game, and the players can be quite abusive. That said it is worth getting into. If you understand how the game works, you can see why the pro players are magicians behind the keyboard!
Welcome to the community dude :D
Is there like a mode that noobs can play other noobs or does it just throw you straight in with the lions?
if youre starting to play this game, start slow, dont play with a high leveled friend as you will get flamed for taking the team down(and also if he finds the game the players in the game will be his level so you wont stand a chance), when you start the game you will be playing with your leveled players, so theyre as noob as you are and there is no shame in admitting that. just be friendly and they will be friendly back and just dont lose your patience and youll be fine. glhf and enjoy
-experienced player
...They won't be friendly back. Dota community sucks. They will flame you regardless unfortunately. Some of them won't, but a lot will. Sad, but true.
Songwriter4God Same as other online games out there. First person shooters, mobas, rts, they are all the same..
Just play with friends and your team will not flame you, then if the other team is nice be friendly an do not start flaming on your own, if they are unfriendly just do not write back ANYTHING.
I've been playing for about two weeks now and am hoping to get a friend to start playing with me soon. What would consider a high level?
Got flamed for doing a single bad play. I ignored them and continued playing the game and actually won it.
Once in a while I come back to this. The birth place of e-sports as we think of it today, and we were there.
Amazing☺️
This is just awesome.
Yeah man i feel so good being a Dota player a Gamer !! This is so awesome i feel really happy right now !! A salute to all the gamers out there !!!
Simply Amazing

Hello comeback pls
I feel so bad for Hy. You can see the typical strict Asian parent here. They put too much pressure on education that they don't even notice the positives. They just laugh at Hy.
that's right
yup....same like that here in south asia (nepal for me).... and every fucking where in asia really. wtf is with this studies obsession, and i wasnt even bad at studies was always top 10 percentile but my parents werent satisfied
Students today are in a box, afraid to go out of their comfort zones, afraid to become what they want to be because of the pressure of their parents to excel in studies. I would say that not all students today are destined to be great scholars. I believe this because I know that some are destined to be dancers, basketball players, race car drivers, or even professional gamers.
Asia was undeveloped and exploited just a while ago... It's not surprising that asian parents focus on study that much, as asians saw first hand the technical superiority from Europe and the US applied to domination and understood that this is what rules the world. It will take generations to let go this mentality.
The suicide rates in Asian countries, specificaly Japan, is HIGH. People get too much pressure, it is ridicilous!
Please no one bring the MOBA war here no one cares if you play LoL,DOTA,Smite, or InfiniteCrisis nobody cares which is your favourite time killer as long as you have fun so pls leave the comment section clean of hate thank you
P.S. This movie is great
well you true i think i want to play all MOBA games xD tq for your advice
No problem just try hard and have fun.
Dafuq is InfiniteCrisis?
I never knew there we so many Dotaclones
actualy it's a clone of a LoL gamemode
MOBA? What's that? You mean ASSFAGGOTS?
recently anyone?

1 big respect to dendi's Father
Yeah, i totally agree with you there.
Bas Reterink It made him pudge lord :D PUDGE IS DENDI's FATHER!
jr braganza Lol Nice 1 :D
Did you get a vive
It was 1-2 years ago. I didn't even have an idea what MOBA was. Then I heard
everyone talking about this game called "League Of Legends" I decided to try it. I've played it for a while. I quite enjoyed it. Then I decided to quit because I became too addicted to it and I had an important exam soon. After the exam I was not sure if I should start playing again. Then I heard my friends argueing about which one is better: LoL or DOTA 2. I decided to try this other game called DOTA 2. I liked it even more than LoL. I thought it was better. Now I play both but I enjoy and play dota 2 more. But I've watched only a few tournament games. I'm not really into watching people play. I prefer playing it myself. Unless it's a horror game because I'm a big baby :( Anyways so I didn't know anything about the pro teams and players of The International before watching this. And after watching this I can say 4 THINGS for certain:
1- Dendi looks like a really cool and nice guy.
2- Watching this made me feel hyped about the tournaments unlike before. I'm definitely going to watch TI5 finals.
3- Dendi picked a hero in the tournaments he never played before? That's true balls right there.
4- All this information about me above was useless and probably wasted your time. lol sorry :P
Sarp Ulaş Kaya k
Sarp Ulaş Kaya to answer nr. 4, I enjoyed reading
Sarp Ulaş Kaya And I also play both games
+Mitchell Egan yes maybe it's true. everyone gets angry at each other while playing these games. so pro players like dendi who take this game seriously can get REALLY mad
+Mitchell Egan everyones a dick online
People saying this is just an ad for dota... Dota 2 has been playable for years now and they havent spend like any money advertising it, at least in the US. this is more about esports players than dota.
This video alone has almost a million views. You would have to be pretty stupid to not see it as a huge advertisement.
CrendorTheGreat this is far from enough
CrendorTheGreat yeah bcs when you do something amazing, you would like to keep it a secret and dont advertise it, right?
Irrelevant. At the end of the day Valve is still a business and have spent plenty of resources on DOTA. They're not going to spend a lot of time telling a story just for the heck of it.
CrendorTheGreat so all the money they spent into making hl2 and its great story makes it a bad game? Good logic mate.
