The first reveal of Dota 2 was The International 2011 itself. That's how they announced Dota 2. Valve put up the tournament with 1.6 million dollars and invited the 16 best Dota 1 teams to compete. The players were given access to the game 2 or 3 weeks before the tournament. Dota 2 was only officially released in 2013 because from 2011 to 2013 it was in open-beta.

"studies actually don't matter at all" yeah tell that to every asian parent and see what happen lmao

Shows the french flag, "oh against a Russian team" Pepega

Kuroky actually played in this tournament. He was playing in the original GG.net with Puppey as captain (playing for NaVi in this TI) and Pajkatt (playing for Online Kingdom), Azen, Swy and Miracle (a Swedish ex-pro)... but just 2 or 3 months before the announcement of this tournament Puppey got a proposal from NaVi that he couldn't refuse. Pajkatt, Miracle and Swy decided to leave also and eventually the rest of the team went inactive. The team was still invited (mostly because of Kuroky and because the tournament was in Germany) so he put up a team with fellow German players + Azen from Russia. They got last place XD so I guess that's we don't see him in this movie. But Puppey and Kuroky played most of their career together, so eventually Kuroky went to join NaVi and Puppey after the second TI.

Here in the Philippines, way back in mid 2000's, we play matches for hamburgers or for computer rental fees.

Just a quick comment on hyhy's education at 10:54. He was studying at a polytechnic where you graduate with a diploma rather than a degree, and in order to get into a local university (there were only 3 universities at that time), you'd need to be the top 20-30% of the polytechnic cohort. And because we still value formal qualifications here, it's honestly unsurprising that his parents really wanted him to get a degree because it results in higher pay and better career progression, which he would be unable to do if his polytechnic grades fell too much.

Hyhy story is pretty much the life of 90% of asian kids, our parents are afraid when we do something thats is new and take risky life choices

The 1st TI was held before the official release of Dota 2

The game DOTA2 "Beta" was out 2010 - 2011...2013 DOTA2 Reborn officially out on steam that's why the interface of the lobby is different from DOTA2 beta... 2016 patch 7.00 A New Journey

I actually play piano... And playing dota 2 with invoker feels a bit the same...

I remember back then when i use to play dotA, Ehome name always on every loading screen b4 u start dota game, that how great ehome back then.

I started dota 2 2011 what do u mean it was beta

man takes me back, look at QQQ(ehome) here then compare it when he coached for LGD at ti8 hahaha

2010 started the beta test for dota2

game was in beta during 2011 they made that huge prize pool to make pros switch to the new Dota

Game was out on 2011, it called Dota 2, but then, on 2013 valve bought dota 2 and run it,then it renamed as Dota 2 Reborn. Since then we have our dota 2.

yep hyhy is now a multi millionaire gamer :D

Dendi, all know as Daddy Pudge in dota

So what do you call chess? Gaming i guess.

actually from what i've heard, the tournament paid all the flight and the tax deduced, all you need to is a visa to get there. so it's still a win i guess

Damn... watching it, I feel nostalgia 😢.

go is also a sport even they only using hand to put stones

You know, chess is also a sport. But they dont use physical strength. Similiar to strategy game like dota tho

I play dota 2 since 2011

ICE ICE ICE is in EG now

Dota 2 from 2011 and 2012 u should buy the game in order you to play but after 2013 they make it for free that's why that movie was released 2013 and called "FREE TO PLAY"

just comment on what you mentioned about grades in college Other countries had different weight towards testing and scores. Here in the US its just based off your GPA and thats weighted against students from other schools, but in other countries, you're ranked against other students in test scores (at least in High school) Im not quite sure if thats the same in Asian universities; however, if that's the case, then its not just about getting a 70% to pass the class.

The paaaainnnn from watching Scythe losee

fear was crowned champion in international 5

Dota has good documentary films.

'grades dont matter at all'. unless you are asian, getting A in your studies is the literally the only parent want, and hyhy is Singaporean, the most competitive nation in Asia

Soo chest ain't a sport by ur standard?

Dota2 is in beta from 2011 to 2013.

You should react to playing Dota 2 Arcade Games like FUFU NINJA

The thing is u need to get to understand in asia school is everything, u repeat a year or semester especially in highschool u will be branded as problem children by family and society. In college u can get away thou w

39:45 I think that guy is LGD’s coach, am I wrong? In the video Against the odds time 1:26:10. What do you think?

8:16 Is chess is not a sport?

yo that is why it is called esport tho... it is not a sport... it is fkin esport

and yeh. poker is a sport too btw.

Sees french flag and calling russian tem, lmao. Btw Moscow5 is Virtus pro now.

Iam a Dota 2 Player and I am not Smoker, dont say every Dota player is a Smoker dude :)

You practice and train to be a pro gamer??? Yes that means it’s a sport, it’s also a game. Just like football is just a game and it’s a sport when it’s played at the highest level. The difference between a game and a sport is do you make money and can have a career at the game. If you do it’s no longer a game it’s a sport. Dota is a competitive sport. The only difference is you sit at a computer instead of using your physical body. Football is a physical sport Dota is a esport. Football you use your speed, agility and body. Dota you use your fingers, reflexes and mind.

i know y'all here only for dendi's sister

3:53 you said no one dies at computer games? well when diablo 3 came out and you need to pay license keys to play it like $30 a taiwanese dude straight played it beating campaigns easy--> to normal--> to hard--> then to hell mode( where if u die u char gets perma deleted) and in the middle of this campaign dude died since he played 72hrs straight course he os eating he prepared food+water but since he loved this game so much did not sleep so he died in the computer shop while playing diablo 3. So don't say that people don't die from video games.

chess???? you dont have to bench either

"Grades dont matter at all" - Tell that to an Asian parent and you'll see the end of your life :D

pls react to best 1 vs 5 dota 2 pro

i didnt even realize before that iceiceice was with hyhy in scythe they are truly one of the best before.

The game is still beta btw

please react to OG's Against all Odds by Redbull

sports are nothing more than professionalized games. basketball is a was recreational game, all sport are recreational games that someone put money on and said "this is sports" so disregarding video games as a sport, which is the newest form "game" is.... i dunno. when someone says gaming is not a sport, it just rubs me the wrong way. but hey to each their own.

Talking about quarterbacks as if non-American's have a clue what you're talking about, lol.

8:01 - never heard of chess? - "the sport of mind"? you are wrong here. Sports are still games .. that's why you say let's watch a game of football. Same with DOTA - you have to train (your brain) and put in effort to increase your skills

You Sir, have to widen your american point of view a little bit :)

bruh its e-sports. Not sports. Yes sports is physical but e-sports isnt. Know the difference. Sometimes this guy really annoy me with his comments but i still want to watch. Just do the react cant you? wtf. Sorry.

This guy need to learn about other country's cultures too. Every country is different. This is so white guy talking. No hate
