This series holds the essence of DotA

Three levels of dota according to Grubby: 1. Guardian 2. Crusader 3. The International

As a peruvian im so proud of thunder awaken, hope next year thunder comed back!

WOW SO INTENSE!!! you can see at 1:04:26 that pango's life was at 1 HP I love this game so much

so many great moments, first the assist on marci giving matu a buyback to secure the turn around and that 1hp save pango by matu is sooooo smooth

Game 1 and 3 were the games of the year

If the enigma waited for respawns at the end, Liquid wouldve just ended it. He had to engage in that moment, it was the right call.

watching tournaments really help learning the game sense,tips and trick.back then i too learn so much from watching pros how they play (ex:cliff escape,manta dodge/dispel etc) and their team's heroes synergy.i hope you too can enjoy learning the game,grubs!

One of the best series in dota2 history. Hard to compare with OG vs LGD 5 games but still... this is dota2 and thats why i love this game even if im n00b :D

Id love if one day grubby can join the commentator world of dota!

when you have equally good and equally draft teams then you get this one of the most exciting and amazing game in history of TI

To answer the question at the start on which you did not get a correct answer to. Insania, former drafter for liquid accidently picked gyro instead of banning it because time ran out in ti game, if i remember correctly it was also an elimanition game. Current drafters matu and blitz are trolling him by picking heroes very late.

Love how Thunder Awaken just put all the eggs on the same basket when picking heroes, ultra gigachad moment, incredibly based.

when you see CM die, you're supposed to say CS Pog

Lifestealer is like a double edged sword, he can be incredibly useless and then kill everyone.

I love 2GD looking like he is fresh off a 3 day bender, amazing he is back. Great game and great watching it with Grubby

Hey Grubster, idk if you saw the secret vs TA games but if you want to see a top tier Lesh performance watch game 1 from Nisha perspective. Also game 3 of Liquid vs Entity was a crazy game and the Ember play from Micke was next level. Would love to see your reactions to these matches while enjoying them again with you!

2 things made a difference in this match: the cheese left on rosh pit and enigma forgot to unlock the the components for aeon disk. But still this is a very good game

Dota is such in insane game....the amount of variables are so big that everything is always possible and skill gets rewarded BIG time

54:13 Grubby: „this feels over“ Liquid: „Hold my Beer“

21:50 Don't be afraid to play Pudge, Grubby! What happened is Pudge hooked and stepped forward. The target is returned to where the hook was thrown. He stepped forward and blocked the exit, but it looks like Leshrac went over his shoulder. I think Dendi talked with you about fountain hooks. Back then, the target was always reeled to Pudge (hence returning to the fountain with Pudge). Valve changed the mechanic so targets go to where Pudge threw the hook.

I hope grubby can be an official commentator/analyst in the next dota tournament. it can be dpc match, major tourney, or even better TI12

@grubby we were there live. We were the group of aussies near front working up the crowd. Let’s go liquid!!

Oh boy, whole series were crazy.

This is peak dota!!!!!

Hey Grub, you might want to check out ‘The International archives’ as well. Its a mini series of legendary moments on DotA 2 TIs made by Valve.

that Hasta Leugo impression hahaha, we really need Grub grub voicelines

I saw that game on my phone while moving houses and I was absolutely enthralled!

Watched this game live, was amazing!!!

LOL wish they had games like this

It's so funny because grubby sounds exactly like a guardian/crusader, so simpleminded

It is crazy how much this series mirrored Secret vs Mineski from TI9: Crazily close, with a mega creep comeback More popular/well known team (Secret/Liquid) struggling to hold their own against a less-known team (Mineski/Thunder) Cap going absolutely crazy on the cast

It would be nice if grubby decided to upload contents like this, just him, chat and yt frogs watching together

Todavía me duele

11:48 - this guys gets the bottle early... Me: _if you don't buy crap ton of mangoes and salves early, you can do it as well_ 🤣🤣🤣

Did Grubby stream this live? I was checking out his stream during TI and never saw him live.

did he watch only this TI series or there is some more good content i can find?

SEA crowd has always been the best. They really just want to see some good games and plays.

What a game, I watched it live

People laugh/underestimate when icefrog buff/nerf hero by 1 strength, but now oof. GG for both Liquid and TA.

I get the reason for waiting, but the problem was they were hitting the towers that defended the ancient. Once those tower are down the enemies can simply concentrate on the ancient rather than the heroes. Unless you have multiple area stuns there's no stopping the damages to the ancient.

LETS GO LIQUID 🙌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

These newer rosters dropping veterans and putting up a dominating fight.. even tho some of the vets are retiring after this TI, the future isnt looking too shabby competitively when these new guys started getting more experience

So many what ifs in this game.

Yeah Thunder Awakening felt like the PSG.LGD this year.

This was the most interesting Dota since TI9

8:01 uhh what a forecast for the end of the last fight…grubby ure just so smart

Entity vs RNG was even crazier

Are u interested to cast the final on ur channel?it would be fun to watchalong with u

Did Grubby react to RNG vs Entity?

Many high level players get BKB on lifestealer if there is enough CC and magic dmg on enemy team. It means you basically have two BKBs instead of one, and makes you much harder to kill in team fights. In this game, not only was there a lot of magic damage through aghs rot and other things, but with the devour and black hole they can disable LS during his entire rage duration, so getting BKB allows him to tank those spells and still have another rage/BKB charge once they are down to fight without getting stunned or rooted. It was a really good decision imo. Not greedy, but thinking of how to maximally contribute in fights vs a pudge and enigma.

12:50 there is a reason slacks said it was good sportsmanship and not true.

I think jumping the pango at the end was the right call. Thunder couldn't have waited 30s for the respawns. Notice how liquid bulldozed their t4s and ancient in less than 20s after they won the tf

"Just go Clinkz lol"

U are amazing streamer grubby

how to play around enigma? Have buyback and hope not to dieback

If you like this crowd, you gotta watch the Manila Majors.

i wish league had buyback and such.. late game dota was something else. it's fascinating to watch them fight back and forth

It's up there with EG vs EHOME legendary game

Lifestealer shard gives Lesh additional life steal, plus his ult is a save. Liquid knew LS wasn’t going to be the mid game win condition this game, but lesh would be. Lifestealer added additional healing to lesh on top of being good vs pudge. If game went late enough and lifestealer got 4-5 items, he would be strong enough to man up vs pudge and be their late game win condition. Good draft and play by liquid.

South America popped off this year. North America on the other hand...

thundra Pog

TI3 Finals

Just pick clinks, build gleipner and kill backlines. effing GOOD IDEA

LIquid throw game 1, Thunder Throw game 3

1:00:57 - yes u can, i checked ;)

Beautiful

Wait did grubby watched this live?

Gz liquid, but thunder awaken had my breath. Sacred enigma is a beast

you just watched TI grand finals

Swashbuckle has to change or at least how it interacts with certain items.

You should watch EG VS EHOME at ti6

Does 1 hit on marci give enough gold for LS to buyback?

Yo Grub you wanna Netflix party the dota anime?

Man if you want crowd the best crowds are from the Philippines they are always hype

GG South America

Let's go liquid, Swedish dota = best dota

The reason you see lifestealer go triple gauntlet is that he looks at his inventory slots as a resource. He values using this resource early higher than the 70 gold lost from selling gauntlet, by the time its sold it will have provided regen and helped secure last hits in lane+jungle speed. If he felt he needed it he probably would have gone for a bracer or two but now he could get away with going for bigger items instead.

Very happy for my nordic countrymen 🇫🇮🇸🇪

1:04:39 I understand why grubby say wait till everyone is back. But its a risk, tier 4 will drop pretty fast with a leshrac and they needed a kill to distract + give money for bb Could have work if enigma placed the midnight pulse. Then they should have instant bb instead of waited for an ember cause the tower and throne was like paper Thunder did many little mistake as well like when they glyph too early. When pudge didnt ult the leshrac When enigma didnt placed midnight pulse and micro edolans In the end they made a decision. Could have work but liquid just outplayed them in the end. Ggs man Ggs

Grubby having respect for a peruvian team , who woulda thought lol

Meu peru não foi tão gigante assim :C

whats jerax doing there

Game 3 is almost a mirror of Game 1, u shouldav watched it but now this kinda spoiled the result 😂😂😂

Liquid was literally 1hp better than Thunder. GG

Lesh is broken this patch.

Thunder Awaken picked Grubby third!

why are european teams so good at dota btw?

Thunder should've won that.

Those thumbnails are getting a bit out of hand lately...not my favorites lately

Did you know the result beforehand?

thrown

Liquid showing beautiful dota this TI,

s2

the enigma threw soo hard, well deserved
