Wow. You guys have really put a smile on my face. So thanks for the warm comments. If you want to vote this up on Steam, here's the link - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1089269838 Here's my Twitter - twitter.com/CuttingEDJE Dudes, if you liked this entry check out my friend Max's video. It's about 10x better - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z652ddp-x7C6cYE.html Both of us are going to be at TI. Come say hi. I dunno, just thinking out loud, but it'd be cool to sit down, win or lose, and just talk about the short film contests that have happened. Nothing makes me happier than watching people slowly get better and better at SFM.

beautiful, VOTE RIGHT NOW!!!!

"Dr. Zeus" you should win for that alone

"The one guy who says he will only pick Chen" I'm dying here. This is just fantastic all around, excellent work Erick and team!

but i saw mid IO on this channel

How wholesome, you've got my vote.

awesome :)

Yep, I'm pretty sure this is the best video entry this year. I think everyone else can just pack it up and save their submissions for next year. Such a creative idea, I honestly love it. Great job Erick!

All this time I was playing with Humans?? 😱😱

There are a ton of really good submissions this year, but I honestly think this is the best one, with an excellent moral and great animation to boot!

Holy shit, this was amazing. Honestly best one till date hands down to you sir. Awesome work

I'm... human?

Love the dr. Zeus act. And this really brings insight into the players minds of not just dota, but every game in history

sweet sweet irony

i want a candy map so i can say im sweet. plus a rob leaf announcer pack

is the bot really human like me

I have no clue how you didn't win. This was hands down the best video submitted. Period :P.

I have to say this is one of my favorite videos of the film contest. We often get caught up in playing the game that we kind of forgets that every person has to start from somewhere or is on the spectrum of players. So I give this video a 11 out of 10

This was amazing dude!

Brilliant! Gave me a huge grin. Thanks for making.

This is absolutely outstanding! One of the best shorts I’ve ever seen.

Good luck!this year is a fantastic year with great clips!

What a delightful video, truly enjoyed every second of it. Best of luck in the contest!

Thank you for this video. It was amazing!!!

Hands down the best i've seen. Quality all around. I really hope this wins

Holly shit this is quality content, sent a chill down my spine

That was downright lovely, with a great lesson. Loved it!

I have seen quite a few entries to the contest already but you just nailed it! Hope you'll win. 👌

It was a really great video. So many videos that deserve first place.. It's insane.

I love this! It's my favorite. I hope you win!

Man this was a huge improvement from your previous animations, well done Erick

Wonderful work!!

One of the best shorts out there

holy shit dude this was great! I missed your animations1

thats very awesome! ill definitely vote for this one!

Dude, I love it this is so fricking good animations are sick and I think everyone will agree that getting this kind of voice over is awesome and I don't think I have to point out how nice it is to bring up message to be nice to your teammates, because sometimes [always] it's hard to tell who is flaming you - the enemy or your teammate. If you don't take first place I will have finally completely lost fate not only in dota 2 community but the whole humanity.

amazing work erick! already voted and hope you win

heart touching voice. so far the best for this year

You guys are AMAZING

This is awesome. I'll keep that lesson at the end in mind. 😃

Awesome words and voice actor. I like the closing lines.

Dude that was fantastic.

You have this win easily this was amazing

Love the animation. You've got my vote.

This was so amazing. Best Dota video I've ever seen, apart from the only way to play carry wyvern and carry io of course

Absolutely awesome work dude, loving the fact that its both entertaining, well designed and with a neat little message reminding us to just all keep in mind we are all both terrible and awesome at different times ....Wait that was three things...meh I can't be bothered to scroll up and change it

I have seen some good videos, but this is really well made AND has a heartwarming message that is maybe even desperately needed in Dota 2... this is my clear favourite, well done, I've watched it many times now :) (and listened to it even more, just for the amazing narrator voice of Rob Leaf :) )

Absolutely fantastic man, it put a smile on my face, glad we could put one on yours

This was amazing!!

That was the best short film I have seen :D

Wow Erick this is truly your best SF you've ever done, Good luck!!
