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.

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

ESL One Birmingham 2018, one of the last tournaments of the year, started of with a bang as both teams needed DPC points to secure an invite to the International 2018.

Fnatic drafted an IO and Morphling and decided they didn't want to fight the formidable tri-core Evil Geniuses lineup head on. Out came another classic Eternal Envy strat based around relocate backdooring EG buildings. Can EG push fast enough to defeat the rat? Will a rapier help? The game ends with a base race to remember.

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.

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

The game of the Rubick rampage.

Amazing comeback!

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.

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.

The closest base race in competitive Dota.

All In or nothing.

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

MoonMeander wrecking EG. Total map control. He completely shut down EG's split pushing and farming by constant roaming. Even if he wasn't roaming he was a constant danger for EG because of his gank potential.
