It means he recorded 1000 frames every second, which when slowed down allows us to see every detail of the action. If he recorded with lets say 60 FPS and slowed down the footage that much we wouldn't see a smooth animation.

it should say 1000 fps slowed down

yep

+E SC its ok to cry evry tiem

+Bruce Cinema Yeah dude 2x speed is glorious.

Let's try this: 0. This happened off-screen and prior to this. Dire side (Naga Siren, Dark Seer, Tidehunter, Puck, Lina) is doing a wraparound while Radiant team (Enigma, Rubick, Shadow Shaman, Enchantress, Juggernaut) is destroying the tier 1 tower in the bottom lane. Dark Seer used surge on Naga Siren to give her max move speed. Naga Siren used Sleep, her ultimate skill which puts all enemy heroes to sleep (unable to use item, skills, move or attack). Conversely, you can't do anything to enemies while they are under the effect of sleep either. 0:00 While the Radiant team is under the effect of sleep, the Dire team moves into position while Naga Siren uses Mirror Image to create illusions of herself. 0:35 Dark Seer casts Vacuum, which brings 4 Radiant heroes to the bright shiny glow in the middle. Radiant heroes Shadow Shaman (upper left), Enigma (middle), Enchantress (right), and Rubick (lower left) are pulled in (positions relative to the cast point of Vacuum. 1:05 Naga casts Riptide, denoted from the splash around her illusions, and ends the sleep (Sleep is one of a few skills that can be manually ended earlier if desired). THIS PART IS IMPORTANT: At the same time, Juggernaut (Radiant) uses Blade Fury (spinning red samurai thing on the upper right), which renders him unable to attack using his normal attack, but more importantly makes him immune to most magical effects. The skill also deals significant magic damage in itself. Enigma enables his Black King Bar, an item which also grants the user immunity to most magical effect. Juggernaut also begins to move towards Naga Siren to catch the enemy team in the radius of his Blade Fury. 1:14 THIS IS IMPORTANT. Rubick (green guy with a staff) uses his Force Staff, an item that quickly moves a hero the direction he's facing, to get out of the middle of the fight. This move will prove itself critical later. 1:23 Tidehunter (big green guy slightly to the left) uses Ravage, a skill that shoots tentacles out of the ground in a large radius around himself. It stuns and deals significant damage. Four heroes are caught in the radius (Rubick Force Staff'd himself out of danger previously) but two of them are currently immune to magic (Juggernaut and Enigma) so only Enchantress and Shadow Shaman takes the hit. From the lower left part of the screen, Puck uses Illusory Orb, which shoots an orb that deals damage while travelling in a straight and you can teleport to it (which Puck will do later). 1:50 Tidehunter tries to use Anchor Smash, which reduces the damage dealt by enemies around him. He starts the animation but doesn't finish it. This detail will be important later. 2:00 THIS IS THE TURN OF THE TIDE. Lina's (almost offscreen at the bottom center) Light Strike Array (deals damage and stuns after 1.6 seconds) lands, and Enigma casts Black Hole, an ultimate skill that drags everyone around it into the center of the hole while dealing damage and making them unable to do anything. The difference between Black Hole and Sleep is that you can still be attacked while under the influence of Black Hole. Three of Dire's heroes are caught (Naga, Dark Seer, and Tidehunter). Lina gets Telekinesis'ed by Rubick (offscreen), which lifts her up and renders her disabled for the duration. 2:14 Puck jaunts to her orb, which is in the cast radius of Black Hole. This is a mistake made by Puck, as by then it is pointless to do so. Puck, consequently, gets dragged in. 2:16 THIS IS IMPORTANT. Rubick uses Spell Steal, which steals the last spell used by a hero, on Tidehunter. You can see an image of Tidehunter being absorbed by Rubick in the lower right. 2:54 Enchantress uses her item Mekansm, which heals the team by 250 HP and increases their armour. You can see the green +250 text around. Shadow Shaman moves north out of the fight and Rubick moves north into the fight. 3:20 Telekenesis ends and Lina drops back to the ground. 3:24 Rubick uses Ravage, which was stolen from Tidehunter. All Dire heroes are affected. 3:31 Shadow Shaman uses ether shock Ether Shock, hitting four targets (only Lina is too far away). 3:52 Puck dies. 4:12 Rubick uses Fade Bolt, a green tinged chain lightning kind of skill. Hits the remaining three heroes in the Black Hole area and kills Dark Seer and Naga Siren. 4:29 Tidehunter tries to use Anchor Smash again, but is cancelled by Shadow Shaman's skill called Hex, which turns an enemy into a chicken. You have no skills and can't use items while hexed. Radiant focused their right-click attacks on Tidehunter. 4:43 and onwards. Tidehunter falls, and Radiant turns their focus on Lina (bottom/offscreen) to complete the teamwipe. All five of Radiant's heroes survived, while Dire lost all their heroes. I tried my best to explain it in layman terms and using the right names for heroes and skill. If you still have trouble following, send me a reply and I'll be glad to explain any questions that you have.

David Lee Holy fuck

David Lee Well explained!

David Lee Beautifully written. You even helped clear up discrepancies in my own understanding of the events. Deserves way more thumbs up.

Coda Emir Thanks. I've spent upwards of 1 year learning how to play Dota 2 from scratch since watching this video with the express intention of understanding how exactly Na'Vi won this teamfight. However, I must say that with the latest patch this will not be 100% possible due to the rework of skills for some of the heroe, notably Tide's Kraken Shell will proc regardless of being hexed as hex (turning into a chicken) will no longer disable passive skills. Although I must say that this will, at most, result in Tidehunter surviving the encounter or getting a return kill.

jesus christ

+Hellonion Lina did actuall stun but didn't stun Enigma

+Hellonion 4:40 Enigma summons Tide

Also, puck jaunting in just in time to get black holed. And enchantress somehow getting her sprites out before ravage hit her (the cast time must be faster than the animation).

Dude I was about to point this out and saw this comment. Dude right about Tidehunter going to finish the anchor smash animation he gets black holed! I had to rewatch it because I'm like wait how did dendi get the ravage if Tide is clearly doing anchor smash but then you see that Tides anchor smash animation didn't get to finish so then Dendi is free to claim Ravage!!!! It took me years to even pay attention to that detail!! Man what a play. What. A. Play. If one mistake is made this wouldn't have ever become The Play as we know it! Such luck to have a memorable play with memorable commentary man. The commentators used such iconic words and tone that forever it will be like a symphony paired with a beautiful scene. Can't be The Play without the iconic commentary, can't be perfect commentary without The Play.
