@@krioni86sano that’s not why at all. It’s because Solo was caught up in a match fixing gambling scandal a while ago where he was deliberately throwing a game. And I can’t remember which but $322 was either what he stood to gain on the side by throwing the match or what he would have earned if he won the match. But it definitely stems from one of those things of just $322 in value. Anyway, since then 322 became a symbol for deliberately throwing a match
Clearly. Being watching dota since TI2 and its great to watch the history again. TI2 and 5 were clearly the least interesting and the biggest fluke while TI3 and OG first TI were epic.
What an absolute gem. Not just this video, but the entire channel. I haven't actively played dota since 2019 but I still watched every single one of these videos. And while I'm saddened that the journey is already over, I think this is a great point to conclude this archive. I wish you the very best for your future endeavours.
Yo bro same, I haven't touched this game since 2019, but watching the stories of Dota is a great treat and I miss this game, definitely will miss this channel too
I played LoL for 14 years and Just started playing DotA, 3 weeks ago (i played first in 2012) but only casual. I really like dota and this Channel is so good for new people to get into DotA! Ty ❤
This channel is the whole reason I started playing dota. Now I'm addicted to dota and Sad that no more videos will be coming out... Thanks for all the hard work!
Bro stop playing right away not a good choice. But if you are under 18 yeah then its fine. Else just stop it before you get hooked emotionally and mentally you still have time. Dota, Its just regression in your life bro
Can’t wait to watch the view count on this one blow up. Been long for the ride since 2013 era and lived an entire lifetime alongside the game and its community’s videos. From graduating high school, to joining the army and deploying numerous times, to now where I’ve started a career path and a family of my own. Thanks for the memories Baumi, and best of luck moving forward!
Thank you for this retrospective. Almost feels like this channel is a microcosm of my attitude towards Dota 2 as a whole. Feels like it just started yesterday, but in truth it's been a long time coming, and the amount of love that was put into it was more than I ever could have imagined playing Dota Allstars back in 2008. We'll miss you, Baumi.
man i remember looking the dota 2 beta key song back in the day but not remembering the damn title when i wanted to show my friends and then randomly 10 years later it gets dropped here. lol
Sad to see this series go. I really wanted a "Story of Anti-Mage" especially after being informed how incredibly oppressive he was in the very first International.
One thing that is Overlooked and could make for some awesome gameplay, is Dire Heroes versus Radiant HEROES. Before All Pick, there was Regular Dota. Dire chooses from Dire Taverns and Radiant the Radiant Taverns. APEM AP EM all became poopular and phased out the Radiant Versus Dire, but can you all imagine the Meta's we'd get if Hero's were locked to one side?
A great series that has come to its conclusion. It's bitter sweet, and I while I do wish for more, isn't that the best time to end it? While it's still desired and not feeling bloated. I did think it was odd you didn't talk about how the tower push meta of TI4 wasn't as broken as it seemed based on what you said in most of the other "Stories of" videos compared to what I remember you saying on your own channel. I distinctly remember you talking about how some teams did manage to counter it during the TI. Think you said in the Grand Final specifically. Always thought it was weird how strongly you came off about it in this series vs your channel. I haven't played Dota 2 much, my last time launching the game is 2017, but I have much more fond memories of Dota Allstars and it's interesting to watch these to see how a game I once played has changed over the years, also you are very good at setting up an interesting story board so that helps too. It assisted in me transitioning to LoL when some friends asked me to and I've made life long friends from both games, so Dota will always hold a special place in my heart, much like Wc3 in general. This series has made me think of some old times, some old friends and reminisce on it all, so your goal of helping the community not forget the past of Dota, has also assisted me in remembering some old times and I can only say thank you for that. Edit: Said TI2 vice TI4 in regard to the death ball pushing. oops.
As a Dota player since 2004/2005. I really love this game. Unfortunately, most of the Dota 2 players in my generation moved on with life. I used to be in SEA and now in NA for 7 years. Unfortunately, the younger generation seems to be easily tilted and gives up easily. Also likes to blame other rather that seeing what they can improve themselves.
lol yeah that sounds just like my son. He can press buttons like miracle, but won’t take criticisms and blames team and the algorithm for his low behavior score lol
i think i know why artifact got a surge of players. i forget when act 2 of skyfall dropped, however i know the pathfinder pack included a new soundtrack option. this soundtrack is made up of artifact music, meaning for everyone who owned it, staying in the main menu of dota 2 they are blasted with "aghanim's obsession", *a song so good it single handedly made a lot of people want to go back and play artifact again* (including me). edit: this doesn't explain the inconsistencies of the player numbers.
gotta say i'm surprised to hear you mention artifact. my hot take is that the game wasn't given a good chance, if it were free to play and had good monetization, i think vavle could've been actually motivated to update the thing. it's almost as if every part of the game was specifically created to hurt player retention rate. hard to learn and unfriendly to new players (which was everyone), no progression system and super expensive. every starter deck was weak and felt like they had many missing cards, pulling with RNG was awful and this pushed people into the steam marketplace, where buying a card like axe might cost more than some full games. which is tragic, cuz the game was actually good, it was just hard to notice because of all the surrounding issues. with testing, updates and prolonged support from valve i think it even could've been amazing. a cult classic with longevity that would be kept alive by a dedicated group of fans.
I'm gonna miss this series. Everytime i watched a video from this series, would make me want to play DoTA 2 more. Especially those specific heroes that i would watch at that time😭 So long Stories of DotA. I'm gonna rewatch every video as much as possible.
Thank you Baumi for doing these series. I've played Dota 2 ever since the beta was released and I still remember back when you have to reach level 13 before being able to play ranked matches. All these are very nostalgic to me as Dota has changed tremendously over the years. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Dota for all the joy that you've brought into my life over all these years. The saddest thing for me is the last game me and my friends played together as a 5 man party and we didn't even realize that it was the last time we would play together. But everything good will eventually come to an end, and that is just a part of life. Thank you Baumi for all these memories, thank you.
This has been a very fun watch and i learned alot here. The editing was also top-notch. Thank you baumi and tuzki. Goodbye, see you guys on the next project.
This is the perfect tribute to DoTA and the commmunity. Thank you so much Baumi for your contributions to the community. You are and will be remembered as one of the finest content creators in the DoTA community. Thank you once again for all you have done, and wish you all the best for the future!
Absolute Crazy Video both in quality and also Main events happening over the years. I came very late to dota 2 and started playing it in late 2021 because I always prefered League. For me its an absolute blessing to hear from all these Major stories and highlights + changes and also finally understood my brother saying dota 2 is really an amazing game (I always thought its clunky and outdated game, but playing a few hundred games completely changed my mind). Thank you a lot one more time for this Video and also for all the other people that keeping this game as it is.
its been an absolute joy to watch all these and i know ill be coming back in the future to watch em again. thanks for all the effort lads, and best of luck in the future
Regarding Dota: Dragon's Blood, the series was most likely to be announced at The International in Sweden, but due to the Covid pandemic, this did not happen. The announcement and release of the series took place at the beginning of 2021, which was a kind of wow effect, because few people expected that a series would be released based on Dota. Of course, I was skeptical when the series was announced on Netflix, but after watching it, my doubts disappeared. It is worth giving credit to Ashley Miller, he managed to make a deep plot for a person who does not really work with animation. Many may say that the plot deviated from the game Lore by only taking a small part from there, but the series was not supposed to completely follow the Lore, if it did, it would lose its uniqueness and we would not see such plot moves and turns in the history of the characters, the project itself, separate from the game Lore, serves as a good addition showing other versions of events. The main character of the series is Invoker's daughter named Filomena, her storyline is dramatic and at the same time contradictory, the character herself is beautifully made both in the children's version and in the grown-up version, in fact, most of the plot is built around her personality. Invoker, who balances from a crazy creator to a loving father, and in his actions, starting from the first season and character, resembles another mage from DragonLance, Raistlin Majere, who also used others to achieve his goals, could not create an ideal world and was left alone. I can understand the discontent of some fans and Dota players. Did Dota Dragon's Blood focus on canonicity? The fact that the events at the end of three seasons did not lead to the Battle of the Ancients is purely the expectation of some fans who were waiting for this, but got a new story that expands Dota in a different direction, allowing you to look at the characters from a different angle, the same Invoker in the game version, you can say, is a narcissistic and sometimes selfish magician who only wants to be the best and first in everything. The serial version of Invoker, yes, is also hypocritical in its own way, but also showed him as a loving father, who studied a lot not just because of the desire for knowledge and to be the best, in order to return his daughter and correct mistakes. Being still at a young age playing Dota, which was then only a user map (modification) for Warcraft 3, I would not have thought that over time it would be possible to make a movie, a series. When the Dota series was first announced, I personally was skeptical and the fact that it was on Netflix was alarming, but my opinion changed dramatically after watching it, the way the series was shown and the depth of the plot was introduced looked very cool and the third season with its emotionality raised the project even higher in my eyes and showed decent modern animation. Everything seemed so real, and there was no feeling that you were watching a cartoon series. Many people would try to save their loved ones against the whole world if they had such an opportunity, the most important thing is not to miss the moment and do not forget to say to your loved one or loved one “Do you Love Me”.
Great video, I'll be honest though, I've been playing Dota 2 since 2012 and since I've experienced a lot of it, I found myself thinking "Oh I wish he'd talk about this and that" until a point when I realized that "this and that" were a seemingly unending list of things, and this video would have just been a year long if you wanted to get everything in there. But, I will say, the one thing that I miss the most, is Siltbreaker. That shit was so good man.
the thing in my opinion that made the choices for universal heroes make sense was that most of them were heroes that bought items that didn't align with their stats. Mostly it was heroes who built caster items while being strength or agility, like Dark Seer, Sand King, and Nyx, but it was also heroes who were traditionally supports that would occasionally be played as a attack-based carry, like Winter Wyvern and Vengeful Spirit. Looking at the current list of universal heroes, its mostly heroes that played position 4 at the time when universal was created, who would buy lots of utility items which don't really synergize with any attribute, often provide all attributes or multiple attributes at once.
I think that the game was in its prime in 2015-2019 period. So many cool personalities among the pro scene and the state of the game was great. You had several OG - EG - Secret lineups, TI7 Liquid, Virtus Pro, PSG.LGD and Wings. Great gameplay and good storylines everywhere
I don't even play Dota 2, but I've watched every one of your "History of..." videos. Really well done! Appreciate the effort and love you put into these.
When I first started the video the voice was really familiar. It wasn’t until I looked at the comments 2hours later that I realized it was Baumi. Thanks man! You taught me how to play witch doctor, sad to see you go. Thanks for everything and making this video. It was absolutely excellent. Well done dude. 🎉 Oh and thanks for including the 7.00 announcement in its entirety. That moment still makes me super proud and happy.
I was sad when DennisTheTall stopped posting his Dotaology vids, so these videos were wonderful for filling that void. Now that even these are coming to an end is very bittersweet to say the least. The effort you poured into this project was amazing man.
Discovered your channel with this video, so sad that i didn’t know you before ! I played dota 2 since 2012, i got an early invite with a Steelseries giveway contest. I was there for every new thing in Dota 2. Thanks for your work
This has been a wonderful journey, thank you for all the Dota you've shared in the 11 years since I found your channel. These Stories of Dota are a really fascinating way to look back on TI and Dota 2 as a whole.
I fall asleep to this every night, and I'm very sad that this amazing channel has come to an end. I didn't watch it for very long, but i just fell in love with baumi's way of storytelling and the stories themselves. Hopefully once this channel is resurrected
Thank you Baumi, this channel has been such a gem, you brought back so many memories that are really important to me. I look forward to rewatching every video! ❤
First of all. Thanks for this video. Probably one of my favorites among of all RUclips. Second. I thought you would cover the last TI and how the resources made it almost quad core line up. A thing which in the beginning would be crazy. Third. Thanks again. Godspeed.
Thank you for this series i have only played dota for 3 years and after watching true sights i wanted to learn more. This video series is perfect to learn the histot
wonderful series. thorughout the hero history videos i kept wondering about the history of the game game's meta itself like trilanes or general strategy and such and this video delivered on that aspect and far more. perfect ending spot to the series. good luck on whatever you set out on next.
Some heroes don't wear capes. Others make Dota2 videos. Great videos no other channel gives this much effort to our beloved game not even valve anymore.
I remember T6 i think it was the peak of my Dota 2 fan and casual player period as a student before moving on to the reality of work life. I miss those days.
It's been a joy watching these videos over the last year and a half and this was a beautiful video to cap it off. Thanks for all the work you put into these. It's been a great trip down memory lane. ❤ PS: Thanks for the game recommendations. I think I will rewatch some of those since I'm going through some DOTA2 withdrawal after TI13 ending.😅
Thank you Baumi for everything!!! You really have helped me and I'm sure many others remember Dota throughout the years. May your future endeavors be full of fun, excitement and continued success!!
truly a great series. I would have followed through every hero enjoying every moment of it, but if this series must come to and end, this was a great end to come too. great videos and I will always hope for just 1 more.
Really great work! Was fun to relive a lot of that history I got to experience in person. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the Workshop, how impactful do you think the art community around the game has affected the development and longevity of Dota 2? At least until 2018 or so it seemed like the Workshop was a big contributing factor to engagement with the game. I know my music pack was incredibly impactful for me, really helped jump start my career. Not sure how much impact it had on players and the community though.
Pal, i was in the closed beta disaster, i was there when you could build a sange and yasha made you a top tier player all the way until dota became tcomplicated for the sake of being complicated and then i even couldnt catch up with the changes. This video is really a very good way of saying goodbye, and dont worry I'll be there when you start the mtg channel, good luck have fun🤘
Pacing was great, didn't feel like 3 hours at least coming from someone who started playing following EG's TI win. A nice refresher of the chronology of minor and major changes.
I JUST found this channel, a shame to see it go by I understand not everyone can keep this quality of content going sometimes. Best of luck in your future endeavors
Love to see that barracks push from VG vs Cloud9. In my humble opinion it’s up there as one of the most brilliant moments in Dota2 history. Letting the barracks go uncontested (when that really meant something) in order to let the ults time out, catch them on the retreat, and win the game with Meepo of all heroes. If the lvl1 rosh had pulled off in game 3, I think it would have gone down as the second greatest series in TI history (after TI3 finals of course)
Bittersweet video loved the project was a member until you decided to conclude it and was very happy with the value wishing you luck with your next chapter massive fan of all of your projects

Great video, I'll be honest though, I've been playing Dota 2 since 2012 and since I've experienced a lot of it, I found myself thinking "Oh I wish he'd talk about this and that" until a point when I realized that "this and that" were a seemingly unending list of things, and this video would have just been a year long if you wanted to get everything in there. But, I will say, the one thing that I miss the most, is Siltbreaker. That shit was so good man.
Man I'm gonna miss these videos. Love your work, Baumi (and friends). Absolute paragon of the community.
Hands down best video is the series. The only one that gave me goosebumps. Great job Baumi.
never forget the day i got the beta key
12/11/2011
Thanks for all the work, to Baumi, Tuzki, and anyone else you had helping out behind the scenes. It was a great ride :)
Outstanding, can't believe I have been hooked by a 3 1/3 hour video
the thing in my opinion that made the choices for universal heroes make sense was that most of them were heroes that bought items that didn't align with their stats. Mostly it was heroes who built caster items while being strength or agility, like Dark Seer, Sand King, and Nyx, but it was also heroes who were traditionally supports that would occasionally be played as a attack-based carry, like Winter Wyvern and Vengeful Spirit. Looking at the current list of universal heroes, its mostly heroes that played position 4 at the time when universal was created, who would buy lots of utility items which don't really synergize with any attribute, often provide all attributes or multiple attributes at once.
I think that the game was in its prime in 2015-2019 period. So many cool personalities among the pro scene and the state of the game was great. You had several OG - EG - Secret lineups, TI7 Liquid, Virtus Pro, PSG.LGD and Wings. Great gameplay and good storylines everywhere
I just got here, and now I have to say goodbye. This was a wonderful video - it brought back some great memories. ❤
I don't even play Dota 2, but I've watched every one of your "History of..." videos. Really well done! Appreciate the effort and love you put into these.
Yes thats true and im glad matumbaman notail jerax are in golden era in dota ti7-ti9
When I first started the video the voice was really familiar. It wasn’t until I looked at the comments 2hours later that I realized it was Baumi. Thanks man! You taught me how to play witch doctor, sad to see you go. Thanks for everything and making this video. It was absolutely excellent. Well done dude. 🎉
Oh and thanks for including the 7.00 announcement in its entirety. That moment still makes me super proud and happy.
I understand nothing about dota but these videos are so entertaining.
I will miss them.
The best dota video I’ve ever watched! Thank you so very much for creating it!
Man, you are the goat honestly. This was an amazing series, and I believe it will pass into history
I was sad when DennisTheTall stopped posting his Dotaology vids, so these videos were wonderful for filling that void. Now that even these are coming to an end is very bittersweet to say the least. The effort you poured into this project was amazing man.
Discovered your channel with this video, so sad that i didn’t know you before ! I played dota 2 since 2012, i got an early invite with a Steelseries giveway contest. I was there for every new thing in Dota 2. Thanks for your work
We need another video in 10 years
This has been a wonderful journey, thank you for all the Dota you've shared in the 11 years since I found your channel. These Stories of Dota are a really fascinating way to look back on TI and Dota 2 as a whole.
Enjoyed everything from the Story of Io to the Story of DotA2. Amazing channel!
Sad to see that this is the last video :(
Thanks for the amazing video and series. Good luck with your future endevours.
I'll super miss this series but I understand why you're stopping. Best of luck in the future
Great series ,first youtuber that i watched play Dota 2, only good wishes Baumi
I fall asleep to this every night, and I'm very sad that this amazing channel has come to an end. I didn't watch it for very long, but i just fell in love with baumi's way of storytelling and the stories themselves. Hopefully once this channel is resurrected
Thank you Baumi, this channel has been such a gem, you brought back so many memories that are really important to me. I look forward to rewatching every video! ❤
Don't leave us baumi!
Great video as always. Feels like watching a really good movie. Thank you so much!
First of all. Thanks for this video. Probably one of my favorites among of all RUclips.
Second. I thought you would cover the last TI and how the resources made it almost quad core line up. A thing which in the beginning would be crazy.
Third. Thanks again. Godspeed.
Thank you for this series i have only played dota for 3 years and after watching true sights i wanted to learn more. This video series is perfect to learn the histot
wonderful series. thorughout the hero history videos i kept wondering about the history of the game game's meta itself like trilanes or general strategy and such and this video delivered on that aspect and far more. perfect ending spot to the series. good luck on whatever you set out on next.
Thank you Baumi for this amazing chronical of the greatest game in the world. DOTA will never die!!
This video, this channel is wonderfully done, thank you for sharing this series Baumi.
Some heroes don't wear capes. Others make Dota2 videos. Great videos no other channel gives this much effort to our beloved game not even valve anymore.
I remember T6 i think it was the peak of my Dota 2 fan and casual player period as a student before moving on to the reality of work life. I miss those days.
A worthy end for a great series of videos. Thank you for your efforts and your hard work, Baumi and Tuzki, may DOTA never die!
It's been a joy watching these videos over the last year and a half and this was a beautiful video to cap it off. Thanks for all the work you put into these. It's been a great trip down memory lane. ❤
PS: Thanks for the game recommendations. I think I will rewatch some of those since I'm going through some DOTA2 withdrawal after TI13 ending.😅
Big thank you and congratulations on your hard work with this series and Dota content in general. Inspiring!
Thank you Baumi for everything!!! You really have helped me and I'm sure many others remember Dota throughout the years. May your future endeavors be full of fun, excitement and continued success!!
truly a great series. I would have followed through every hero enjoying every moment of it, but if this series must come to and end, this was a great end to come too. great videos and I will always hope for just 1 more.
Really great work! Was fun to relive a lot of that history I got to experience in person.
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the Workshop, how impactful do you think the art community around the game has affected the development and longevity of Dota 2? At least until 2018 or so it seemed like the Workshop was a big contributing factor to engagement with the game. I know my music pack was incredibly impactful for me, really helped jump start my career. Not sure how much impact it had on players and the community though.
Pal, i was in the closed beta disaster, i was there when you could build a sange and yasha made you a top tier player all the way until dota became tcomplicated for the sake of being complicated and then i even couldnt catch up with the changes. This video is really a very good way of saying goodbye, and dont worry I'll be there when you start the mtg channel, good luck have fun🤘
Man I’m upset you guys are done. I love these videos even as a person who doesn’t play dota
This is a fantastic channel. It will stay here forever, and it will be valuable in the upcoming years
What a great video. Thank you Baumi, and everyone involved.
I had a very good time with the videos.
Thanks.
thank you for all the work you do and thank you for making this amazing video, I will be showing this to my children when they grow up
Amazing job Baumi! Loved this video, made me emotional and brought back so many memories. Thank you!
Great Video, I have played dota since WC III Days still my favorite game Great job!!!
Pacing was great, didn't feel like 3 hours at least coming from someone who started playing following EG's TI win. A nice refresher of the chronology of minor and major changes.
Damn that ending fucked me up, congrats on the next chapter and cheers thank you for the wonderful videos
Thanks a lot for all the work this channel has done in telling the history of the game!
Thank you Baumi and your team. Incredible effort.
I JUST found this channel, a shame to see it go by I understand not everyone can keep this quality of content going sometimes. Best of luck in your future endeavors
I've never watched a 3:22:24 hrs long straight video before !!!
What a great video- thanks for the whole series!
Its been a rocky ride, but fun and amusing. Thanks and good luck with MTG.
Sad to see the series go. Thanks for the entertainment! o7
It's been a pleasure watching these. Take care of yourself and good luck to you as well. o7
Would have been perfect if you added LAKAD MATATAGG! in the end. But overall, it was a great watch.
Love to see that barracks push from VG vs Cloud9. In my humble opinion it’s up there as one of the most brilliant moments in Dota2 history. Letting the barracks go uncontested (when that really meant something) in order to let the ults time out, catch them on the retreat, and win the game with Meepo of all heroes. If the lvl1 rosh had pulled off in game 3, I think it would have gone down as the second greatest series in TI history (after TI3 finals of course)
(VG vs CLOUD9 TI4 lower bracket)
Bittersweet video loved the project was a member until you decided to conclude it and was very happy with the value wishing you luck with your next chapter massive fan of all of your projects
