ClassicDota

The finale of an outstanding series, with a risky and unorthodox Ursa + Magnus combination from Orange. DK is always on the lookout for a sneaky Rosh by Orange and meanwhile try to hold on to get their Phantom Lancer and Alchemist the farm they need to win the game. A game of ridiculous high energy teamfights.

89 kills in 22 minutes!

Darer and mousesports go against each other in an incredibly bloody match leading to an average of one kill every 15 seconds. Both teams are super aggressive and determined to win, disregarding any losses. The result is a tightly packed game with countless, highly entertaining team fights.
If you like Rambo this match is pretty much the Dota 2 equivalent.

NaVi's quest to make it back to the top clashes with VG.Reborn's quest to make China great again.

"That is one of the best games of Dota I've seen in my life. The plays that happened, the stories..."

This game has a little bit of everything. A crazy back and forth throughout the game, Miracle Invoker, GH Earthshaker, and W33 Timbersaw. ODPixel gives one of his best casts, and W33 plays one of his best games. All around a fun and exciting game, setting the tone for a crazy series that would end up going to 5 games.

Alliance push strat featuring AXE.

Not a single rax falls until over 60 minutes in the game. 5-Man Black Hole. Rubick has the time of his life - stealing spells left an right. Still, the game stays close pretty much the whole time. All-around great match.

Bonus: Darkseer+long game=particle madness. Flaming Spectre, Divine Tidehunter.

The legend of the BurNIng Anti-Mage continues.

Team Secret is up against Invictus Gaming in their first game of the lower bracket. Team Secret seems at quite an advantage from the beginning onwards, leaving only spare space to farm for IG's struggling core heroes. Will Secret secure their well-deserved victory or can Invictus make a come back?

Insane back and forth endgame. No definitive winner until last seconds.

The comeback of Naga Radiance rush presented by Meracle.

Burning vs Sylar at its best - PL vs AM. Truly deserving of the epic tag.

A good indication of an overpowered hero is when he receives a special nickname by the community (mostly used by those on the receiving end of the pain). This game was played during a time where Phantom Lancer was mostly referred to as "Cancer Lancer", since his split-push potential was fantastic and he was quite hard to control.
DK try to utilize this newly buffed hero and LGD counter with their own Anti Mage pick for Burning who's famous for wrecking havoc with AM. Cue an amazing game with the constant question: Whose carry is going to be the last one standing?

Backstory: TI6. TnC are a small team from the Philippines. Most think they should feel blessed for BEING at TI, and everyone belives OG (the great favorite, multiple majors winning team) will kick them out. Except game 1 happens (it's great too btw). TnC pull out some crazy shenanigans and with a rollercoaster gold/xp graph they manage a double comeback, winning.

The drafting for game 2 is interesting. OG pull out a classic Tiny-Io duo, and TnC answers with a drow strat, featuring Huskar and Dazzle. The game starts badly for them, but the 15k gold deficit is not felt, at all. The teamfights are INCREDIBLE with both teams pulling out every last card. The game has insane chronos, rapiers, base races, mind games. Dota 2 at its finest!

The most even match to see in a long time between Fnatic and Na'Vi.

Both teams collide in Game 1 of the GESC: Indonesia Quarterfinals. It's the fight for Roshan that is at the center of this game at all times. Both teams are constantly so close in experience, gold and kills you really can't tell who - if anyone - ever has the upper hand. Each fight is could be the end, but it's a long time before these teams break their stalemate.
A wonderfully tense game until the very end!

Wherein a certain team throws a 30000 gold lead.

How times have changed...

Alliance meets EG and has to watch out to not get ratted. It's a pretty even game for most of the time (except the beginning shortly), but still very amusing with interesting heroes, plays and turns. Good watch overall.
You really want to watch it for the ending though, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Ding, ding, ding, motherf*ckers!
