Fountain Hooks Timestamps 25:55 - There's the hook, Hao! Brought all the way back to the base! Cleaned up by the fountain. 32:52 - There it is, yup! Banana going for a ride on the Dendi Express. Welcome, to the well. 36:27 - Dendi is gonna try it again, can he? Got him that time. See you in the base, Mu. Welcome home! 47:54 - Ohhh he got him!! He got him! 49:25 - There we go, the hook! Got him. SanSheng taking the long ride to Shanghai. Welcome home. 56:19 - Navi... He got him! One more! This is what you call "One for the Road".

Tongfu played perfectly by the book. But Na'Vi was like "We reject your reality and replace it with our own." What a way to win...

watching this again months after, still such a pleasure to watch :)

2020 still watching this Legend forever legend

This is the Navi I loved, this is the Navi I cheered, this is the Navi I remember. But today, I am not so sure anymore. I hope one day Navi comes back to this level of excellence, and then I will love, cheer and re-remember!

Came here after watching fountain hook documentary

Guys, don't say Na'vi are noobs just because they did that. I know, it's too overpowered, but, why don't you blame other teams for playing heroes that are OP? A lot of heroes are so OP in DotA, you just push a button and then you rampage. And fountain hooking isn't so easy to do. You have to synchronyze so good, you must not hook to early or to late, and it's easy to move arount to counter it. It's just a mechanic, (like most of us said, a bit overpowered) but it was in the game.

Probably the best played game I've ever seen. Navi got completely outdrafted and just played out of their minds. Funn1k was hitting insane shackles all over the place. Kuroky got a ton of great impales, the timing between Dendi and Puppey was iffy, but when it mattered they made fantastic plays.

25:52 32:50 36:26 47:50 49:24 56:15

I have been playing DotA for 7 yrs now still remember the emergence of this game . Na'Vi you have made DotA 2 what is in 2017. Your sportive brilliance and innovation have amazed the world! The true GODS OF DOTA!

That was a CLASSIC game! Who didn't like that one (regardless fan of who he is), dont have a clue about Dota. Just amazing game series, we can be happy to witness that kind of epic shiat :)

STFU with all those ft hook....thats why they are called Natus Vincere !!! we all love NaVi...the game play they show to us not the common 1 used by others...keeping 1 carry farm and be a hero at the late game ? well it's fail though !! Natus Vincere Rules !!

Im watching this in 2018, trying to remember and compare what navi was and what navi is today. A team that has shaped the history of dota now seems to be a team fading and losing their relevance to the game today. It warms my heart to watch this yet it also makes it bleed...

que bonitos recuerdos, es increíble pensar que ya han pasado más de 8 años, ver estas partidas me hacen recordar parte de mi adolescencia~ muy buena partida, me hizo recordar la emoción de un buen dota

OMG. This is the first time I watch a competitive game. So marvelous, so incredible. Bravo Navi

47:53 This is when I KNEW I'm witnessing the GOD of dota whose name is DENDI 🤟🔥❤️💥 Fukin' miss you my man 😭💔

After I saw how Loda threw a fit about those fountain hooks, I was expecting the hooks actually worked ALL the time. Looks like it was something that's very hard to do.

omfg check that game, its a good game to watch, not that shitty ti4 finnals, pls navi comeback with ur good plays like that!

this game will be legendary, amount of skill it takes to pull it off and come back vs such lineup, just insane

This is why I love Navi.. Amazing comeback and awesome hooks.

This was amazing! I was literally at the edge of my chair and rewatching every move! They shouldn't have removed this combo from the game :(

this is the reason i've been watching Na'Vi plays for past 2 months! praise the almighty Na'Vi!

Man I love all these commentators!! Such good entertainment!

Crazy game from Dendi.. Good Game From Na'Vi..

Wish we could go back to ti3 when navi was awesome with puppy and kuro

The look on brunos face when maelk was speaking about hating the fountain hook and the fact he said 'deal with it' leaves no doubt that he is icefrog... What a game

that 5 man wipe at 50 mins. must have watched that fight 20 times and its still gold

33:33 creep "Thank you Dendi" 34:03 creep "So I give u vision Dendi !!"

Na'Vi aren't Noobs just because they used a 'bug' or a 'glitch' how some idiots call it. They are an awesome team with skill to execute it. And we all want our favorite team to win but we also want entertainment. You idiots don't hear the crowd happy when they did a fountain hook?

OMG..best early fighting game ever I have ever watch ! keep it up both teams

hey its 2018! and i still watch this clip!

Dendi is undoubtedly the best DotA player in the history of the game. The fountain hook is one of the most difficult things to do in the game and it is executed very well by Dendi.

im crying seeing dendi and puppey.

What a brilliant strategy from Na'Vi :) 2 Thumbs ups for you guys !!!

This just shows us the tenacity of Na'Vi to get that 'W' as well as how they (quite literally) think outside the box.

my mind was blown when i realised pudge never had a force staff, it was always a three man effort for the fountain hook

Navi are my favourite team but I really feel sorry for Tongfu after watching this.

Great camera work just as always

Dec 2020 Still, the best TI match EVER

"DARE WE SPEAK IT, DARE WE WHISPER IT! DARE WE THINK IT! COULD IT BE?!" - AYESEE 2K13

2019 still actual

well, we wish to know what they think as fans, like us. We really feel them very close to us cause they think and say what we think, sharing their opinion is good! Greatings from Perú!

awesome game. they should repatch the fountain hook.. it's just so charming

Ok, let's get this from the beginning. Each team has a 5 pick/5 ban hero in the start of the game! Chen is Puppey's signature hero, Pudge is Dendi's signature hero, you give an Alch to Xboct who farms like crazy and you already played a game against a Dendi Pudge and got raped. I call it "Not learning from your mistakes tbh", I don't like the playstyle of chinese teams, it's just B O R I N G to watch! Now, to reach the point where fountain hook is a bug, it's not a bug, it excisted since Dota 1and if you have the skills necessary, feel free to use it! It's not a casual game to have fun, it's a fucking international championship with pressure and high stakes, so to execute something so difficult like this in a match that important, you are destined to win. I don't feel sorry for Tongfu, they picked their strategy, Na'Vi picked theirs, best strategy won, end of story. The Pudge hooks stall the game, but when missed, TongFu should be aggressive. They were not aggressive, so they gave time to XBoct to farm/comeback and carry the game. Simple as hell...!!! So chill out and gg wp

There team have 3 Captain in 2019 Secret Puppey Liquid Kuroky Navi XBoct

i miss this caster panel! :( bring them back! xD

Probably the most creative (cheating/buff or whatever its IN THE RULE), absolute magestick.. What a game... What a team NAVI ❤️

best team in dota history

fountain hook is probably the most difficult combo in Dota 2

What a turnaround! I enjoy this game!

I haven't played Dota for years now. Came back just to watch this gem again.

NAVI vs TongFU NAVI vs Orange the biggest comebacks in Dota history

remember the day when u hated Navi, and now u really want them back.. :)

The epicness of this match is too damn high.

this is so beatiful

At least Fountain Hooking is exciting. Rat DoTA is the most bullshit, annoying, and boring thing to do ever.

yea ti4 was boring as shit

Its 2020 but im still watching this The Legends

Hi 2018 still watching this.

Chen + pudge is such a gay tactic in my opinion and should be banned.

I WENT TO SLEEP THINKING OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT LOOSERS BRACKET..AND NOW I WILL WATCH A LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT I'VE MISSED! I FEEL SO PROUD AND ASHAMED AT THE SAME TIME....

This game was so EPIC!

Without the fountain hook navi would lost it but they know what to do. They defed it and xboct farmed and farmed in this time and so they won. That is not lame that is tactik if u have no options. Puppey best captain !!!

PERFECT!

Na'Vi best team ever highest level of showmaking by pure skill perfect execution of unorthodox tactics and playstye composed by real knoledge of the game plus no fear to play. This team owns numerous legendary series and matches in dota history mostly with Wins. Its funny every player had such unique personality, style and a lot of chemistry, i refeer a lot to TI2 lineup with LightOfHeaven for me one of the best to ever play the game. But i respect and value this line-up with funnik and kuro they made a incredible job keeping up the abdormal high level required to not affect the consistency the team had already achieved.

2022 still love this play 😍😍

That's a cool setup they got! The player names with the hero portrait on the outside of their thingy :p

actually i cried with this game, best comeback in TI3;)

Also, as in the Gladiators of the past, making a grand show is all part of the experience. Did you not hear the crowd go nuts when Dendi gets Pudge? And did you not hear them go nuts with each fountain pull? EPIC!!!

56:30 the amoints of gems in navi's base, ssdly visage carrys gems so often

If you watch closely on the key fountain hook that catches the gyro with aegis Doombringer Doom's Chen no more than half a second after Chen sends Dendi home. The window to execute that was so tiny and it completely decided the game.

Best game ever!

0:50:03 Kuroky turning on carapace and walking into darkseer's wall to get the kill GO NAVI

i still watch in 2018

I miss this moment when I was in school watching with friends.. 🥺🥺🥺

Tongfu really played so passively here. They had their momentum but chose not to pursue.

Doing a Pudge Hook with Chen is very risky, I Remember spectating this game and commenting how it can backfire and they have to be careful and I remember everyone thinking this might go the wrong way ... then a few key hooks came in and well Damn

that golden smile on dendi's face when pudge was picked :)

2021 and still watching here❤❤❤

This tactic is very very creative and hard to execute. Salute to navi!

2018 I'm Still Remembered this Tragedy

that was an amazing comeback by navi

can you nullify the doom's effect by using purge or somethings like that from your teammate?

Was not levelling E a thing for Alch in 2013?

47:54 The game changing hook.

just wow.

Watching classic old Dota 2 in 2017... :)

Great comeback

Would it work with whips relocate?

Still legendary play

I completely understand your mentality about winning using any possible method. As I said - the same people who support the fountain hook will support infinites. And there will always be people who focus all their energy on winning, and who don't have the time to distract themselves with improving the game or changing the game. And then there are people who question, wonder, and who later design the games that become the future of competitive gaming. Ideas built to improve on existing games.

Fountain hooking and stacking both started out as bugs, but are kept in the game. The pros say it was and so did the creator, it was one of the things that started off as a bug, but ended up being a key mechanic apart of the game. (A fortunate accident one could say)

One of the epicness game i've ever see

navi is so creative. chen+pudge, pro tactics!

AMAZING

These fountain hooks are just insane!!!

this is my number 1 most favourite match in ti3 number 2 is do vs orange game 3 you should watch it ☺

awesome !

Aaawww, your team lost while Na'Vi went through. It's a good day to be a Na'Vi supporter.
