The event was fantastic as well. If only DPC major was introduced earlier, this MLG should be one of them. Definitely a worthy major material since 2013 had so many good 3rd party tier 1 event
here in 2023 after EE retiring. I saw it "live" back then, goosebumps allover, what a time it was. This was made with love, you can really tell. Even item pickups that made a huge impact later on were highlighted.
Still watching this masterpiece in 2021. OG may be the perfect example of Cinderella story. But to old timers like me, this is my first taste of a good tournament run. Plus Singsing is here and I am a big fan of his streams :)
I mean, OG’s story is only exciting because of events like this. 7ckingMad is clipped a few times in this video, and n0tail came in from HoN in (iirc)2013, and the “Full retard” and “Kill this FUCKING DK” moments came within 12 months of that. I think what made Speed/C9 so exciting was the visual distinction of their style compared to most other top teams of the day. OG had a lot of that as well, but post 2015, in order to win a game you had to be able to win a lot of coordinated teamfights, in 2013, Speed were choosing to just bet tournaments on teamfighting, just because of their roster. This is far before the changes to gold/exp from combat and farming, so way more strategies were viable, and you didn’t come back by killing at that time.

The run that DotA 2 had from 2011 to early 2014 was insane. The Speed/C9 roster had to be the most exciting part of it. This tournament was awesome, and the team went on to be the only sign of life at TI4. From its ashes would come dynastic teams and long careers for the former Speed players. The exciting style of play was basically patched out during the hard push meta, momentarily fixed in 2015, then executed completely on the new engine. The style of team fighting that Speed used relied heavily on certain items that were nerfed directly or indirectly(Mek), as well as the Overton Window for viable strategies being much larger. In 2013, most teams would be either looking to split push or go 4 protect 1, so focusing on a brawling style made them disruptive and hard to prepare for. Everyone is made to fight in a chaotic way in the newer updates, which took away a lot of their off-meta surprise. EE’s carry style also is something of an enigma, which only would really have worked on the old EXP/Gold system, when the relative power level of a carry, and the means to power them up, were completely different than in the modern game. Just the other day, EE retired from competitive DotA 2. The meta was mismanaged to fuck after 2015 so Sing was already out, Aui is retired and coaching, pieliedie is playing tier 2 events, and Arteezy, despite getting better since these events, and basically being NA’s chosen one, has somehow lost maturity since this event. It sucks that this era ended, and while I do have a bit of the ‘smile because it happened’ feeling about it, I can’t help but wish for an alternate world where the changes were less dramatic, and we were waiting for the next Alliance, Speed, or DK, as opposed to what we have now. I suppose that would rob us of TI8, so maybe it’s an irrational idea, but the thought remains.
God coming back to this in 2022... Completely forgot about Zyoris dreads and it just immediately brought back all the nostalgia. Hope this never gets removed
Back when casters still called them "A-god" and "EE-sama," and even merlini was blown away by a blink dagger Clinkz that would become essential for every Clinkz from that point on. The young princes of dota (arteezy, ee, singsing) taking their crown and shaking hands with the old DK pros (mushi, iceiceice, burning). MLG columbus was the prime time for dota and I hope for another tourney worthy of this one in 2015.
Im watching Dota2 for almost 10 years now , and every TI and all Majors ( from 2015-18 , not the crep we are getting for years now ) aside , this was the best Dota2 Tournament ive watched hands down.
This guy gets it! I’ve been watching DotA videos since 2006 and playing since 2009. This is my favourite non-Valve tourney run ever, and the Speed/C9 roster will forever be rewatchable. From this team came an entire era of DotA that’s only just ending now, which I don’t really think can be said of many rosters from ‘13. The only events that have been notable since this are like… The DK run(which you see part of in this video), NaVi vs C9 at TI4, EG at Summit with Mason, where we learned how big Fear’s brain was, EG finally winning TI, CDEC going ham, and OG going the distance. Of these, the ones that you can just put on and watch whenever are both the Speed/C9 roster, they were just that unique.
I'm so glad I followed this tournament. MLG columbus is the perfect example that you don't need a ridiculously big prize pool to make an exciting and succesful LAN. It was the most hype I had along with TI3 finals. I don't remember following a toiurnament consistently exciting ever since. Don't get me wrong, there are still exciting games but they are few and far between. I hope tournament organizers look back at this.
Truman Chang Hate to be the one to break it to you, but TI4 was pretty terrible. Don't get me wrong, the prizepool was massive but there was NO hype. Newbee found a dominant strat and no other team was able to play past it due to the unknown nature of the meta at the time. TI3 Finals are probably the epitome of a high-stakes comeback, so just fyi using TI4 as a metric for legendary tournaments is a bad idea.
@@crowcade Funny enough the only good thing about TI4 was C9(Speed roster from this event - Arteezy and + Bone7). Their game vs Navi was absolutely ludicrous IIRC.
This movie is better than Free to play. It's incredible that there was team with Jacky Lmao, professional Culling player SingSing, kicked Aui, Pie Lion master and Riki Artour,
Huge respect for AuI, Singsing, EE, RTZ and PLD. It is not entirely about the win or money but their journey and effort that they put to get that result is absolutely insane.
This was the tournament and run that got me really into dota. I was watching the TI3 finals with my brother back when i knew nothing about dota and I didn't realise how epic that finals was. One day i saw this tweet on my feed and i ended up staying up until 2 am to watch mlg colombus.
same for me, just watched few final days of ti3 and then the whole mlg columbus. this is what made me obsessed with dota for a year, until ti4 happened lol. those were the best days for the game imo, even with ti8 OG in mind. back when it was just guys being dudes and everything felt so personal.
This is the best tournament since TI3. I was a huge Mushi fan who thought Envy's decisions were always questionable but this tournament changed my mind. Sometimes, the only way to beat the strong conventional strategy is to play unconventionally.
This video is brilliant! Perfect mix of gameplay, backstory, commentary on how the team is doing, ingame communications, player reactions to winning/losing. Good amount of play from the important games, short breaks showing the results, well timed music. Just amazing, I wish there were more like this. Though of course the material you had to work with here is pretty unique.
So glad to see someone make this, I've been thinking of doing about spg at MLG like this but thought it was "to late" and I dont really have the time, amazing watch, glad to see more movies in this style, keep it up man! :)
im a dk fan. i stayed up very late to watch the finals n i was very very sad. never knew who spd gaming was. watched their games but didnt really care. but now that i look back to it, omg what an amazing finals it was bro pls make one for CDEC in TI5
one of the best dota2 tournament, and brings a lot a fame to speed gaming, and RTZ too manager drama, midas gaming, blink clinkz, got stomped at first day, and finally get to the throne thank you for making this video :D
I come back here from time to time, now that Secret with Envy, Bulba, Rtz, Pupp and Pie are going to TI after going trough OQ brings back good memories. Hopefully I'll comeback here on August 13 to say that they won TI c':
I come back here aftert the Singapore major, watch this in tear, i have been waiting for my boi Artour for so long and will keep waiting,... FeelsBadMan
could have added that they werent invited at the start and the community had a vote or uproar about it and got invited as 9th team afterwards^^ other than that fucking perfect, love this team and this is one of the coolest dota videos out there, kind of like the infamous best of ti2/3 videos just a looooot longer :D
The feels were strong!Great video,I would guess its a bit too long for people who are not supporters of the team.I hope we can win a LAN again soon.I want that feeling agaain!
This tournament was so before it's time. The team chat was miles better than TI12.
this was peak dota for me, a breath of fresh air and innovative game plays, still remember the mass forcestaff and midas
The event was fantastic as well. If only DPC major was introduced earlier, this MLG should be one of them. Definitely a worthy major material since 2013 had so many good 3rd party tier 1 event
here in 2023 after EE retiring. I saw it "live" back then, goosebumps allover, what a time it was.

This was considered rise of New Blood back then. The rise of Arturo.

OG is not a cinderella story, it was a 4 major winner org already with stablished players (only topson new).
Watching that live was one of the best Dota 2 experiences ever. Never forget !
I was there in person :3. I was so happy when both of my favorite teams made it to the finals. Definitely amazing
Watched the whole tourney live. It was peak Dota 2 in 2013, you just had to be there.
Don't mind me just doing my annual rewatch of this golden

Here in June 2022, there is only one prince still playing and surprisingly also one old DK pros playing as core

Let's hope ESL One Frankfurt 2015 will be another great one. C9 vs Alliance best game I've ever watched of Dota.
I never watched this tournament, but this seemed even better than TI4

i cry every time , this and ti3 was the best of dota
this is the best dota2 video ever....i wanna cry
This movie is better than Free to play. It's incredible that there was team with Jacky Lmao, professional Culling player SingSing, kicked Aui, Pie Lion master and Riki Artour,
2022, going back to this. RTZ & Envy deserve a TI.
Huge respect for AuI, Singsing, EE, RTZ and PLD. It is not entirely about the win or money but their journey and effort that they put to get that result is absolutely insane.

TI3 and MLG Colombus were absolutely the best tournament of Dota, back in 2013
man i watch this shit once a year nowadays huh
wow this is epic! Whoever made this, you are awesome!
Bounty Hunter (*#´ω｀#*) Thank you!
Bjarne Croqlett must have taken a lot of time , thank you
+Bjarne Croqlett hey man, i loved this video,
+Bjarne Croqlett You sir deserve all the cookies! Thanks for taking the time to make this :)
+Bjarne Croqlett love u
I love the mindset of the time - Blink Clinkz, is he trolling?
The nostalgia.
Also one of the rare proofs, that we are not living in the darkest timeline.
best hour of my week, thank you
My pleasure!
This is the best tournament since TI3. I was a huge Mushi fan who thought Envy's decisions were always questionable but this tournament changed my mind. Sometimes, the only way to beat the strong conventional strategy is to play unconventionally.
AHHH QUE BUENA FINAL LA PTM
27:55 The Infamous David "LD" Gorman's REFRAAACTIOON!!!!!
To be honest, in context it wasn't that bad, that game was so back and forth I feel like that "overreaction" was warranted.
Outer Heaven you're a fat weeaboo irl
Outer Heaven mad weeaboo lord detected
go pray to EE sama to deliver you from evil xD
The moment when the twitch-chat goes Kreygasm !
in all honesty it was worth it for that everyone thought artour was dead 100%
Man this video hits even harder now that EE is officially done too
EE really is living the life of an anime character.
RIGHT IN THE FUCKING FEELS
same
just rewatch this after watching singsing retirement vid so sad :
dudut hot same here
same... right now :(
Music now added in the description.

One of the best grand final match ever!
came back in 2022 just for a piece of nostalgy
Why haven't I seen this before? It was awesome.
One of the best games I didn't experience live. I always come back to this. Wow.
who else watch this in memory of singsing? lol the best run of singsing so far. Hope he cumsback with a strong team! davai davai!
Always Kaipi boys in my heart, no matter where the shuffle takes them ;_;
legends were born in mlg columbus 2013..
Albeit over 1 year old, still one of the best video game montages I have ever seen period. Amazing edits, interview cuts, and equally amazing music.
Man this shit is still wonderufl, I have watched it 4 times now over a few yrs. Do you plan on making any more videos like this?
Hey that's me !
Back before you sold out
Dwight Ellison no tears only dreams now
ZyoriTV You was handsome back then , now you're just an ordinary boy Kappa

+Mauri :csdsmile:
Probably one of the best documentaries of all time. Sick production man
best moment of Dota 2 in 2013 for sure, still gets the chills when watching it again
Thank you as always Croqlett, you're one of my favourite fellow C9 supporters.
So glad to see someone make this, I've been thinking of doing about spg at MLG like this but thought it was "to late" and I dont really have the time, amazing watch, glad to see more movies in this style, keep it up man! :)

bro pls make one for CDEC in TI5
That was a simpler time... when players could be on a team with their friends and not be worried about roster changes every few months BibleThump
One of the Greatest Victories in Dota History Game 1 and 3 were complete Classics
one of the best dota2 tournament, and brings a lot a fame to speed gaming, and RTZ too
manager drama, midas gaming, blink clinkz, got stomped at first day, and finally get to the throne
thank you for making this video :D
I come back here from time to time, now that Secret with Envy, Bulba, Rtz, Pupp and Pie are going to TI after going trough OQ brings back good memories.
Hopefully I'll comeback here on August 13 to say that they won TI c':
We fucken lost boys
Amazing vid. Thanks a lot for taking the time to compile and edit all the clips so the legendary Speed Gaming story can be retold.
EE SAMA , we will miss you
Reliving the rollercoaster of emotions when watching this live...
Legendary. Cant believe it was 5 years old
5/5 one of the best dota videos so far. Thanks. Didn't even know this stuff!
One of the best dota2 stories ever.
piece of history
LD & Lumi at their best.
I miss their duo casts.
I come back here aftert the Singapore major, watch this in tear, i have been waiting for my boi Artour for so long and will keep waiting,... FeelsBadMan

+Hoang Nguyen hey that is my line

this video is legendary, WHAT A TEAM
I specifically loved the turtle beach team chat! I wish they would use that in more tournaments :(
best tournament ive watched since ti3
Wow. Dem feels. The Dark Knight soundtrack gave me chills. BibleThump. Great work Bjarne!
This was my favourite tournament
With the new Secret lineup this video is more relevant than ever
RTZ EE pld, holy shit, this is the time when RTZ finally gets his Aegis of the Champions!!!!
When they said Arteezy backstabbing I thought of his Riki build.
28:28 Arteezy backstabbing...like he did to EG?
And the legend of Artour was born
My boy Artour might never win a TI or a major but at least I will always have this.
rewatch it again, just love this spg
So much emotion came back to me. Thanks a lot for the video!
LD really had some of the best calls in Dota casting.
Dota will never be better than this moment.
I miss this team.
This is the greatest documentary ever made
Dota 2. The hall of fame of comebacks! Amazing video!
could have added that they werent invited at the start and the community had a vote or uproar about it and got invited as 9th team afterwards^^ other than that fucking perfect, love this team and this is one of the coolest dota videos out there, kind of like the infamous best of ti2/3 videos just a looooot longer :D
We need more videos like this on RUclips
Watching this glorious moment in 2021.
The feels were strong!Great video,I would guess its a bit too long for people who are not supporters of the team.I hope we can win a LAN again soon.I want that feeling agaain!
I miss old dota so much bros
BEST VIDEO OF THE FUCKING WORLD OF DOTA 2 OF PLAYERS OF OF AND OF 1HOUR OF THE WORLD
Beautiful video, really well done. Is there anyway to get a detailed list of the music used?
Now in description.
this was amazing. the memories, the feels. thanks dude
The game around 16:00 was this like the first time that an AA was played in this way, since the casters are so hyped about it? It's great though :)
Funny that you would say that, because it actually was! Pieliedie brought aa back to the meta.
Agnitumm yep, i figured due to their reactions, that was one annoying meta though :x hehe
I fcking cried holy shit this video so good
Rewatching this now. Great work dude!
The moment before C9 became King of the 2nd Place Kappa
Legends were made in this tournament :D superb video
Amazing film/documentary! Just amazing.
Beautiful editing! They all looked so happy in the end.
worth every damn seconds.. *BibleThump*
MVP of MLG Columbus - Force Staff
thank you, even after all the years, for this video
Don't forget Rtz was a stand-in player in player in this event. Subbed for Bone7 due to his Visa issue
This is on par with the "Na'Vi, can you feel it?" video.
this is what dota is all about.. so much hype intense games. its been a bit lack luster lately.
That was just insanely awesome! Great job man! And yea that MLG was so awesome :D
this video needs at least 1 million views
