* While there are fan videos of VideoGame/{{Dota 2}}, there's a certain animator named [[http://www.youtube.com/user/swordzzzzz Swordz]] who's known to make high quality Dota 2 custom videos. And his most recent project? ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvpHThakNwU When Heroes Meet Champions]]'', AKA VideoGame/{{Dota 2}} Heroes Versus VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Champions! UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny at its finest! Highlights already include battles of Axe vs Darius, Juggernaut vs Master Yi, Legion Commander vs Katarina, Treant Protector vs Maokai, and topped with the clash of two MegatonPunch between Tusk and Vi. [[SincerityMode It's as awesome as it sounds.]]

** This already impressive amount has since then doubled as is now up to $8,000,000 and counting as of June 1st.

* The International 3, already considered the biggest Esports event of the year, now has the largest prizepool for any single Esports tournament in history at $2.7 million and counting. It was $1.6 million at first, the standard prizepool for an International, but the Dota 2 community bought enough Compendiums at $10 a pop ($2.50 goes to the prizepool), and added more than a million dollars on their own. The International 3 has made Esports history before it has even occurred because of the community itself.

* The last game of The International 3 between Na'Vi an Alliance was full of these. After a game that seemed to be firmly in Navi'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, Navi 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.]]
* Navi vs. TongFu in the TI3 Loser's Bracket Finals. 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 Navi and face Alliance in the Finals as the Pudge gambit had failed. Until Navi 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 Navi their rematch against Alliance in the Finals.

* Some of you may remember how DotaCinema makes Sven the ButtMonkey by making him the punching bag of every other heroes' skill set. Then they released a humorous trolling video titled "Sven's Revenge" where it looks like he'll finally get revenge for all the shits he got into... only for it to turns out to be AllJustADream and [[YankTheDogsChain in reality, he got punked AGAIN by Skeleton/Wraith King]]. Then when Sven got a new item set... they released a video where Sven recalls all the times he's made into a punching bag, and then proceeds to ACTUALLY kicks ass and making it stick. Ladies and gentlemen, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAe9COdQkYU In Memory Of Sven]]

* The International 4's prize pool. Starting of with $1,600,000 and $2.50 added for every bought Compendium (and additional money from buyable Compendium points), the pool was raised by $200,000 in '''two hours'''. Considering only Compendiums, that means the community bought approximately 11 Compendiums '''per second'''. The prize pool was doubled in 32 hours, and at this moment has exceeded '''$4,000,000''', higher than [[http://www.esportsearnings.com/tournaments any [=ESports=] prize pool in history]]. In 3 days. The International doesn't start until July the 18th.

* First off, you might want to look at [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Awesome/ProGaming Pro Gaming]] for awesome competitive DOTA2 moments.
* Lion. He followed a demon into ''Hell,'' killed it, and tore off its arm to use for himself for good measure!

* Just think about Magnus's backstory, an ''herd of Rhino-centaurs'' charging an entire ''army'' of EvilPoacher[=s=] with ''a freaking volcano going off behind them''. That's quite literally pure awesome.

* Skeleton King managed to drum up enough support from the other heroes to have them harvest souls and safeguard his body during Wraith Night so that he may be reborn as Wraith King. The cruel, expansionist tyrant of Skeleton King convinced his teammates that he was worth keeping around, when they could have just let him turn to dust and have his kingdom fall to ruin. And now he will stay around forever more as Wraith King.

* Navi vs. Tongfu. Dendi performs multiple fountain hooks on more or less the entire tongfu team.

* The Skeleton King is pulling off a pretty big one to preserve his immortality for 2013's Frostivus. [[spoiler: If all goes well, you will address him as ''Wraith'' King.]]
** [[spoiler: And after only one day of the Wraith Night beginning, the Skeleton-excuse me, the WRAITH King-has returned.]]

* Another on from The Internation 3: At the end of the game between Alliance and LGD, it becomes a flat-out race to get to the enemy ancient first. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56MryxzE6AE See for yourself]]. Tobi Wan's commentary makes it all the more entertaining.
