Also notice how Ceb always tells the guys to have fun. Sure they need to play seriously to win but he's also telling them to not let the pressure get to them.

And then Ammar call it useless speech

Ceb and N0tail experience really showed in TI8 and TI9. They were veteran players, some people even thought both of them would never win a huge tournament. When Ceb was still 7ckingMad, noone believed in him and his team. When he joined OG, people said that if he was a coach it was ok, but as a player it was a meme. But they prevailed. For me, it's not a history about OG going through the losers bracket, it's not about winning a tournament. It's all about proving yourself you are relevant, you are one of the best, all you did was not useless. Topson, ana and Jerax were huge, but N0tail and Ceb had a decade of professional DotA, 10 years of people talking shit about them, and in that moment, it felt like a huge burden had left N0tail's shoulder. He has proven to himself that he could do it, and it was fucking beautiful.

@@lucaxtshotting2378 not true at all. The most important thing is your mind and self esteem to keep up with the pressure. A simple speach will make the difference between win or lose,not 15min practice cuz these guys all have 10K+ hours in dota each and 15m practice is absolutely nothing to them.(not even 24hours are anything new). If u are at the finals with your team what do you need, 15min practice or 15min of good energy,cheering up,mental preperation and encouragement? Yeah now you understand. We are humans,not robots. We need those mental resets.

@@lucaxtshotting2378 ok that works in league,but in dota the best chiniese team that only practices nonstop gets constantly stomped by europeans who give importance to mental health and vitality. Btw chiniese,koreans and japanese tend to overwork themselves constantly and burn themselves out . Its a common thing in east asian cultures that some people even die while overworking themselves. I think for any western team mental>mechanical, dont wanna delve too deep into asians cuz im not one and i have hard time relating to their cultures and mindsets sometimes.

He reacted to TI9 on stream! Look forward to it on KZfaq soon. From Flopson to Chadson to Godson

@@Trebolf can u tell me the title when he watched ti9 on twitch?

he was living in his brothers spare room and was unemployed living in goverment benefits which is like 600€ per month or something

it's incredible, I got chills every time I recalled that TI8 was his first tier1 LAN event

@@pate7179 Incredible. What a rags to riches story.

the comunity of most toxic people on planet or which one

@@teodorcaraba979 there's many great people also, perhaps they're not as loud though so you don't notice them as much

It's funny how how DOTA community is thankful for a streamer joining, but all the new players joining in got shit dumpstered in the actual game. xD

@@teodorcaraba979 Every fandom has toxic people that is not exclusive to the Dota 2. If there is bad then there must be good in it as well.

aoe2 and dota2 recently!!!! grubby knows great games when he sees them!

I was about to say the same

i watch bulldogs pure reflex speech once a month so my chesthair can regrow

Same here

same

Its even better if you followed the dramas stories and watched the entire ti. This is all of it condensed expertly but to really get the idea can watch the old vods for maximum effect. ti8 ti9 best tis in recent memory.

Then the first thing LGD says in the booth: "Let's mute them."

That opening shot of LGD is so bad ass. They’re just kids playing a game, but they look like stone cold killers. What a great TI.

low mmr minds are the easiest to break : ))

To this day imo . This is the best TI ❤❤❤

it's so funny to me that people are impressed by flat statements like notails

OG in TI9 weren't mustache twirling big bad evil villains, they were the kind of Megamind supervillains that relied on "PRESENTATION!!!!" to chatwheel and tip their way to victory. Kinda like Ric Flair, Eddie Guerrero and/or Steve Austin in WWF/E, where they're heels but are so entertaining to watch you can't help but cheer for 'em.

true, TI8 was really a cinderella story for sure. questionable pre-TI performance, following the departure of former rosters, last minute roster addition, doubtable roles swapping, and boy they had to climb through regional qualifiers, it's terrifying how strong their mental fortitude

Wooooooh

​@@ar.michael8306 the drama with fly trully a cinderella story

2nd best after TI3

NOQUESTIONS

yeah that was some plot and the revenge he got was not 1 win but 2 (and its back to back)

je combine that with a run through the OPEN QUALIFIER all the way to the win it really is a movie .. could not write anything better..

@@RealRangerix A win against the players that left you is completely irrelevant and only matters to people looking for heroes and villains. Professional players choose the team with the highest chances of winning a TI, you cannot blame anyone for it (albeit timing and communication was awful). What is truly inspiring that they became the best team in dota within a short period of time forcing them to bank on a complete newb to the pro scene as pos 2 and a retired pro as pos 1

in with the real deets and drama.

@@giselau5606 winning against the people that left you because they didn't think you were good enough to win TI definitely means something, and they talk about it in the red bull movie. Its interesting to see how differently people pick their teams though. Some want the 5 best players they can find and others look for 5 with personalities that fit together.

Esports headshake is a new one

Not new at all, basically been around since the early days of Starcraft BW. Just about every competitive player has done it. Its the moment were you realise the final nail in the coffin, and any delusion of hope is wasted energy, and you start preparing for the next one. All happens in 0,5 seconds or so. Some pretty intense stress-coping at work.

And well this being the biggest cinderella story in esports history. MOST of the sites had OG as 18th place meaning not even playing at mainstage. Bring a retired Ceb who has played his last TI in 2012, bring in ana who was inactive the entire year, bring in a random zeus/pugna spammer from the EU servers who plays his first lan and its freaking TI. Notail switching to 5 for the first time in his career. There are so many stories in this win its incredible and then they are playing against PSG twice and beating them twice, like nobody would have imagined that, nobody. PSG lost FIVE maps at mainstage, and all those 5 losses were to OG. They didnt lose a single map. This is basically impossible to top off. TI9 was just OG dumpstering everyone they were head and shoulders above everyone. But TI8, was the biggest cinederella story in esports history

Best true sight was the first one. Dendi forever

the part where LGD players and fans loses hopes of winning the aegis, really gets me.

Knowing the story behind that og team gives you more feelings . Notail deserve it . I remember every game and I remember every scream with my friends when og won a fight and then the TI Definitely the best final of TIs

You sound pretty sad then lol

Yessssssss!

same here lol, has been watching this documentary, every year, every time TI come.

Yup the 2 v 5 base defense from ana and topson was a godmode game moment

Watched all the OG games and HG defend and game 3 still shakes me like a vibrator.

For some reason this video focuses on speeches rather than gameplay so it seems like the speeches mattered more

@@MWTan-nr6zl It really did matter a lot, when everyone is pretty much maxed out in terms of knowledge and teamplay, the mental aspect makes the difference

@@lucaxtshotting2378 dota 2 is a sick mental game -notail.

@@lucaxtshotting2378 if you’ve ever played a 1 hour 30 min long game of dota you’d understand lol it requires so much focus and can get extremely stressful. Especially in a best of 5 series. When I used to play soccer I wasn’t even that stressed during tourneys xdd. There’s also so much money on the line it adds a lot of tension

@@lucaxtshotting2378 This is like saying that the chess world championship games is still "just a table top game" while disregarding the fact that those players blow through literally thousand+ calories over 6.5 hours of intense thinking and stress. That's the thing about stress. Your body doesn't care where it came from it treats it all the same

G'day mate! Thanks for the support :D

wait, what's that hero? :D

Thanks!

But the redbull documentary was about OG how they're formed and all the hardships they had to face to qualify for TI, and then winning it. It doesn't showcase other teams because it's about them

Waiting for Redbull documentary reaction too. Would be nice to see ..

Same here, been his fan since early HoN -days .. Incredible what that boy has achieved !!

If you want someone to play with, I'm getting back into the game after the break. So we could learn together. I try to take a pretty casual approach and keep things positive.

Doing the same here, it'd be nice to play some chill games and improve at the game :)

Exactly. Can someone please tell Grubby to watch it? I really want to see his reaction to that, after he's seen True Sight now.

@@CM-ow3tq hundreds of people suggested that on his stream. He just watched Ti7, Ti8 and Ti9 True Sight back to back yesterday.

I'll watch it! So many people suggested it, this should be good :)

@@FollowGrubby It tells you about the backstory of how those 5 come together as a team for Ti8

@@FollowGrubby Also consider watching Free to Play. It's about TI 1. A blast from the past.

Agree. Game 4 of ti8 finals was the best dota game that have i ever watched. The teamfights, back and forth, you won't know who will win.

Also Upper bracket final was fire, with arc warden etc if i remember

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the doppelganger cd reduction talent wasn't picked much not so because it wasn't Meta, it was just too situational in the eyes of most people granted I really don't know the other lvl 25 talent back then(probably a DPS)oriented one. I do agree though that game 4 was nuts and I absolutely believe it's the best game of the entire ti8 tourney(hard choice between it and Upper bracket game 3).

@@imfinishedgrinding638 20% crit or smth

Only 5 times?? lol

its not a bug, its a feature

Nope, it works because of morph PL bug

@@BudiTabootie I mean Morph has an advantageous bug vs PL too(getting both lvl 25 talents).

Get over yourself, all of you who think some team or players deserves to win just because your ego needs it.

Let the best team become the winner, give us good show!

WINGS curse still in effect.

You're*

Noted, thanks!

@@FollowGrubby pls watch it . its definitely worth the time .
