TI6 Wings is an anomaly , an enigma in TI history. They came in , dismembered and turned upside down everyones logic of Dota's meta by their picks , strat and gameplay. Everyone from the pros , the casual , the audiance , the panelist , everyone who watch the at TI6 almost always have the reaction of "Wow they win , that actually works. How they make that works ?"

i’m surprised miracle isn’t mentioned here. the first 9k mmr player, took the world by storm at ti6 and dominated throughout ti7

Xiao8 "The Director" is pretty iconic himself, surprised no one mentioned him.

Mushi in Orange Esports at TI 3 will always have a special place in my dota memories. Hype games all day long

TI 1 Navi, 1st gen Alliance Roster, Wings Gaming, TI7 Liquid and old OG roster was by far the best era of Dota, also im surprised Miracle and Dendi isn't even mentioned on Iconic players :

Another Dota Icons please, there are so many iconic in Dota that it cannot be compiled in a single video.

I’m surprised DK with Mushi, Ice3, Burning, MMY & LaNm wasn’t mentioned.. those guys were absolute beasts for a period in time and are all legends

"ceb is 560 years old , he's played every role" lmao

Remember when topson came out of nowhere. No majors. Just straight to TI and Won. That was Memorable for me.

BEST Dota content. PyrionFlax is a legend, glad he gets dusted off for TI every year!

All of them are legends, but Dendi will always be the face of Dota 2.

Im almost offended that nobody mentioned Burning when talking about iconic players.... the guy dominated dota discourse for so many years

Man, original secret is such a phenomenal despite not achieving much, that's when Dota was at its peak

Dendi will always be our number 1 DotA boi. NICE BIT 'A CREEP FILET

Team Secret with Kuroky as the carry was lit tho.

Anyone remember Ad Finem? Appeared out of nowhere, dominated the 2016 Boston Major, got placed 2nd, then disappeared unfortunately. They had a lot of potential with their Greek fighting spirit, got the crowd cheering and yelling Spartan warcry during the grand finals against OG.

Sumail actually paved a way for youngsters in E-sports to become pros at young age

Wings Gaming is how I imagine a completed OpenAI competing at TI

My first time watch ti was the time sumail play as storm spirit and win that aegis. I remembered next ti EG comeback with dagon 5. The most iconic comeback i ever seen.

Nobody mentioned Alliance with their total stomp and LodA with his versatile hero pool back in TI3.

Dendi is the Player that best Represents Dota... Guy is a legend

There's still some notable teams like TI3 Orange, and TI4 DK which shared the same fate as TI5 Secret. Players that worth mentioning are still a plenty too. Dendi, Fear, s4, fy, Burning, and many more. Dota can really make these gamers reach quite the fame.

2013 Alliance forever. The Rosh baits, Bulldog's LD & Furion rat doto, EGM pioneering Wisp on the pro scene, Loda's Gyro and PA builds, Akke microskills, S4 soloing games on Puck & Magnus, and of course the emotions this team gave to the community and the amount of innovations they left behind. I can still hear Winter and LD's throne speech word to word in my head: They came from the North! Alliance wins! They win TI3!

2015-2019 is the best dota i would say. there's so much stories and dramas going on love it

Another beautiful piece of content that makes you smile all the way thru. Please more of this. Man makes me reminisce about all the insane non-stop content we’d get about DOTA before the pandemic.

Love the love for sumail, I could watch these guys all talk all day

I'll never forget that TI5 secret when they lost to Ehome it freaking rained Bugattis on item betting sites

ICONS: Dendi Puppy Admiral bulldog Kuro Miracle Sumail Wings OG Fy Iceiceice Special mention: ES (UNIVERSE) ECHO SLAM TI5

OG on TI9 was unstoppable af

So much love in this series. I love seeing players admired and inspires other pro players, I may not good at playing dota but after seeing this video I'LL SHOUT TO THE WORLD THAT I LOVE DOTA and im proud of it. Kuddos to dota community as well.

It's a great pleasure to share being part of the community with all guys. ty all

puppey is the most iconic. imagine playing TI since the beginning. count every patch he played. and he still good at playing till now ti11 1 of the top 4 teams and no lose haha

Im really surprise that Burning not appear here, the best carry of dota of all time. And Kuroky too, what a player !

My favorite player was BurNIng. I just loved his AM, I watched how he played it and I just got very good at playing him. To this day a signature hero of mine. When I entered my first team, the captain gifted me manta blades for AM. That's how much he liked my AM. All thanks to BurNIng. There is just a very good parasocial connection there.

Glad to see my boy SumaiL getting the recognition and respect that he deserves. He is the reason I started playing Dota.

Great video. Look forward to it every year.

Wings Gaming that Dark horse hyped me up when they won Ti, They were an anomaly that time, their interesting picks defied the meta that year beating down fav teams. Also that battlepass was one of the Best and The production in mainstage is top tier.

YES! Please make more!! We love this series

I remember in year 2015 when i was first introduced to dota 2. I was playing warcraft 3 or dota 1 as it is names in the RGC platform. When i first played dota 2 i said to myself that i wont replaced dota 1 with this game and here i am now, slowly losing sanity in this sea server but after all these years it was fun and i will not regret anything.

Hard to decide when there are many good teams and players. However Puppey, Dendi, Kuro and Navi as a team in the first 3 years was in my most passinate years of Dota, it has to be them. "We rush B everywhere", that is exactly what I feel. They are jus so aggressive at the time. But it works.

TI4 DK WAS MORE ICONIC THAN SECRET ORIGINAL ROSTER

TI8 Ana is like godlike level. Dendi the original OG Dota poster boy, TI4 DK, TI3 Alliance etc.

One moment I won’t forget is Loda’s saltiness on that puppey+dendi’s fountain hook. Tongfu players just accepted the fact that it’s their fault that they’re getting caught by that hook, but loda in the lobby just shouting “Biggest fucking joke I’ve ever seen!” Dayum.

its weird in none of this they talk about kuros liquid.aside from miracle, gh and mc are players that changed the way everybody played Dota when at their peak

Pyrion flax is just a gem so glad he’s still around

Wings Gaming peak of iconic dota, because of them, many team right now playing with versatile hero pool.

Lod[A] was I legend many will miss. Especially since his roots date back to the old days of Dota1 when EU and CN dominated pubs of Dota.

No team beats Wings in my heat. Those guys played the wildest Dota ever in the history.

personally when i think about dota icons flax himself is what comes to mind. Big reason i kept playing the game after my friend introduced me to the game

I still remember that one game where wings gaming drop an item to confuse enemy when escaping from the enemy, then one of their teammate from behind with invisible hero come to take the item before enemy destroy it and they successfully escape lol

i hope we get to hear "we are electric" song lol. i always relate that song to dota

LOVE this type of content!! more plz

Awesome, wholesome content! Love this one!

No one ever forget the handshake moment between n0tail and fly in 2018

Just realize im old now after seeing 15 year old Sumail. Time flies.

Dotq archives is just the best, along with the mini videos

Would've loved to see some love given to Fear and majority of the legendary Chinese players. Respect to all of them who lasted long and gave really a good impression on to dota and made an inspiration to these new generation.

I'm surprised that Team DK 2014 is not here. The WPC Ace League comeback and Starladder StarSeries IX where they didn't lose a single game on the LAN Finals.

No mention Miracle,Dendi and Resolution these guys are the face of Dota 2 for a long time i feel sad

Dotademon aka Jimmy Ho is the most iconic player for me

Ah sumail The guy that never loses a lane

Love this content... 🔥

Miracle and Kuro needed special coverage in that later part of the video

The face of Dota 2 is a contest between Puppy's or Dendi's.They just have a different level of influence from others.

I solemly swear - this background is like the one in the Dream Hunter in the BloodBorne

Every DOTA player is LEGEND ❤️

i love these vids so much

This actor is amazing)

Without a doubt sumail is the most iconic atleast for me...hell 15 years old and already winning millions...WHO wont be interested...sh1t the whole world knows him after that

Singsing should be here ahhaha "The interview"

Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebbbb. Memorial scene from True sights.

I would say TI6 DC gaming was iconic for me at least, came as unknown team with fresh roster and they have beaten some titans and even won the first game against Wings gaming in Finals that was awesome game btw

I think the original A-God Arteezy stands out for me. The stand-in for Speed gaming MLG Columbus was so epic! He was just the boy gooning it up with the old streams too. That is what I would consider an icon for sure.

Nobody talk about team spirit. Good

There are too many Dota moments and Team to ever get though in a segment this length, but for me it's TI 3 Era Aliance Vs. NAVI. That is what got me into the game.

Wings (Ti6 roster) vs OG (Ti8-9) would have been a dream match

My heart break when miracle is not here 😔

someday some people wont remember ame anymore like burning and it will be a sad day

ceb, and puppey are legends but xiao8 deservw to be on the mount Rushmore of dota as well

When I clicked on this video I was expecting details on the beta icons like the fire-farting skeleton king lol

When he talks an image is overlapping in my head.

Amazing content!

an entire content piece of dota icons that never, at any point, mentions SirActionSlacks. huh

I love Dota so much!

Mushi: i learn alot from him as well. We all know already bruh 😂😂 especially after that true sight tragedy

No burning makes me sad 😿

Nobody mentioned Miracle but He is god player for me. May be because I entered into dota world when he was at culmination.

beat us from 15 seconds and i rage -quinnn 2022

It will still be the TI summer intern ana for me lol

team DK with burning mushi iceiceice lanM MMY. most iconic of that era

Wings the epitome of dota

He is back Pog

I'm surprised no mention of the og alliance

Next: Iconic casters ofc, might as well include controversies lmao

Seriously, of all iconic things in dota2, deep in the heart we want to see Puppey grab his second Aegis. It is, literally friggin 11 years since back then. Their lineup isn't the best, but hey, 11 YEARS ATTENDING EVERY FRIGGIN TI!!! I'm gonna absolutely salty if he lose this time, for sure.

n0tail has to be the most iconic player for me. played multiple roles, always sacrificial for the team, unbelievable underdog story, went from a screaming energetic young guy to a mature wise one.... he's got it all

Puppey and dendi is the one of the reason a lot of player interested to play dota. Navi days

Good content as always

DAMN. I THOUGHT THE VIDEO IS GOING TO BE ABOUT THE ABILITIES' ICONS, THE HEROES' ICONS, AND SO ON. I genuinely thought there were going to be some alpha-modern or alpha-beta-modern icons. LOL

This is an absurdity. No mention of Team DK and Alliance. Team DK 2013-2014 era consisting of BurNIng, LaNm, Mushi, iceiceice and MMY were the PSG.LGD of their time. Played a precise and patient style of play with a flashy appeal to crop out their gameplay. All 5 were legends even back then and their legacy right now shaped Dota today. Also, lets not forget the Alliance champion squad too. They introduced a strategy and tactic that won them the Aegis. "Rat Doto" was copied and practiced by almost all proteams and pubs back then. They left a legacy that we will never see in Dota today. DK and [A] were snubbed.
