* The last game of The International 3 between Na`Vi and Alliance was full of these. After a game that seemed to be firmly in Na`Vi's favor, they started pushing the mid rax, and it seemed that Alliance was putting up a weak defense. However, this was actually a ruse; Nature's Prophet was pushing the top lane, Wisp and Chaos Knight were pushing the bottom. Realizing this, Na`Vi tried to TP back en masse, but Puck (as played by s4) Dream Coiled them, interrupting the teleports and allowing Alliance to dispatch two rax for one. Later on, Alliance was pushing hard. Dendi, as a super fed Templar Assassin, tried to TP back to base. Puck was able to Dream Coil him to stop him from going back, but what's special about this is that if you look at replays or pictures, you can see that the interrupt was pulled off in about ''a fraction of a second'' before the TP was completed. Alliance won the game with what are being called the Million Dollar Dream Coils. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0zE8DcxpT4 See it here.]]
* Another on from The International 3: At the end of the game between Alliance and LGD, it becomes a flat-out race to get to the enemy ancient first. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56MryxzE6AE See for yourself]]. Tobi Wan's commentary makes it all the more entertaining.

* Na`Vi vs. [=TongFu=] in the [=TI3=] Upper Bracket Semifinals. Dendi's Pudge is almost memetic, but was not going very well in Game 3. It looked very clear that [=TongFu=] was going to roll over Na`Vi and face Alliance in the Upper Bracket Finals as the Pudge gambit had failed. Until Na`Vi remembered they also had [[IamNotLeftHanded a Chen to combo with Pudge]] with the now-removed "Fountain Hook" strategy, one of which on [=TongFu=]'s Gyrocopter with Aegis of Immortality caused the match to pull a full 180 and gave Na`Vi a shot against Alliance in the UB Finals.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0nIL10roaE This fun little video]]. The video shows off that Sven's team is losing and then ''everyone in his team left the game'', leaving Sven alone. So what does Sven do? [[{{Determinator}} Keep on fighting and become a]] OneManArmy. By the end of it, he holds off the rest of the five team as they futilely saw Sven pick them and their towers off one by one and won the game. The kicker? Sven did all those without a Black King Bar, even in the presence of some disablers like Tiny and Pudge.

* Would you believe that an AI bot, of all things, could achieve a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome? Well, [[https://openai.com/ OpenAI]] has created a bot that, simply by having it play against itself for a lifetime without actually hard coding strategies into it, has become so terrifyingly proficient and competent at 1v1 Shadow Fiend matches. How good is it? ''The best players in the world lost to it''. That's right, in a game where the bots are dismissed as being incompetent at best, a bot has defeated the best players in the world simply by evolving and learning how to play the game, to the point that it even knows ''how to fake Shadow Razes!'' Oh, and [=OpenAI=] wants to develop an entire team of bots, suggesting the possibility that ''an entire team of bots could become a challenge for the best teams in the world''.
