The whole game a glorified rosh fight. Neither team ever settles in any lane, 5 man ancients at lvl 1, 8 minute long rosh fight.

There are a lot of comebacks and rapier plays in Dota, but no other was this ballsy.

Kill score of 59-58 in 48 minutes. KOTL guy's Sound Board got a lot more famous with this match.

MidOne does Attacker proud with a core Kunkka in a game that stays close despite a massive kill gap.

When people talk about EG throwing, this is THE THROW that started it all.

The underdogs take on the favourites of the tournament in an intense game with breath-taking end game fights and great split-pushing. G going ham on his Storm Spirit and VP using their trademark Drow+Visage combo. Overall a great game to watch by some of the best players in the world.

LGD.Forever Young, the youngsters from China who dominated the group stage at TI7, take on the CIS powerhouse of Virtus.pro with a top 3 finish at TI7 on the line. Game 1 mirrored their group stage matchup as LFY decimated VP in quick fashion. With their backs against the wall, VP went for a less flashy lineup that included Viper and Disruptor. LFY answered with a Pugna, Faceless Void and Nature's Prophet lineup. Nevertheless, the game became an intense back-and-forth affair before VP secured themselves a 12k gold lead and began knocking on LFY's door. Still, LFY would not back down and drove the game into further chaos. Intense team fights, fantastic wombo combos, and a clutch Aegis steal make this game worthwhile to watch.

The game of the Rubick rampage.

Amazing comeback!

Techies and Tusk combination turns into a very entertaining game for the crowd.

The closest base race in competitive Dota.

Super-DPS vs Super-Tanky

It's quite a drawn out game with one team desperately trying to get enough damage and the other one trying to be as tanky as can be. There's a lot of control heroes and no team seems to get the upper hand any one time. The teamfights are exhausting with a few losses on each side and immediate pullback to safety. It may sound like a drag, but the game has its moments. If you stick around you are rewarded with:
- Clockwork working wonderfully
- Sumail trusting his instincts with a big pay off
- a different kind of black hole
- double egg Phoenix game changer
- an ending that is as surprising as not many others

Medusa game really showcases how important farm is on supports in lategame.

Push/Heal-strat and hilarious missuse of blade mail.

This game is played during a time where pro Dota 2 often consisted of long games with Tinker slowly split-pushing the enemy to bits. The way he's countered in this game is quite effective, punishing the enemy team for relying solely on the tactic. It's one of the great, funny games that are often overlooked.

Lie back and enjoy the show.

All In or nothing.
