Monica Hutomo ye its another fucking story bcs if navi decided to kick dendi the merch sells will fall so they have no other option but keep him. so dendi leaving navi wont happen like wwe kicking john cena wont happen they are the face of both company/team
Well, Dendi can leave whenever he wants and the organization can't do squat. John Cena canleave if he said enough and not extend his contract anymore. Na'Vi doesn't exclusively own him so that's what matters: his loyalty.
Jeremy Aber lmao,...live in ur own world of mid players and those details , i don't think this video is made to compare him to other players or vice versa but instead its a kind gesture .... there is more out there buddy not just dominating mid lane in dota..hope u understand and if u wanna explain more ,, go ahead and good luck...goodbye from me!! :-)
Dendi is considered a great and legendary player not just because he is good but because he has the attitude a real Pro should have! the loyalty, humily and his smile would get him as much fans as he could :) still DENDI IS THE BEST FOR ME... Respect the man! :)
@RaiN Ya but if I'm not mistaken,he's not interested in playing in Internationals anymore.I saw in an interview(sorry but cant remember which one) he said that he now plays it just for enjoyment and fun(forgive my bad grammer)
Since ti1, dendi is the golden standard for EVERY solo mid. Everyone learnt from dendi. This guy contributed immensely to the rise of new stars. He deserves no other status other than a legend
Na Vi died when Puppey left, and XBOCT after. They only have Dend left, it was team Dendi, not Na Vi. Now, its not even that. No point in Dota 2 anymore lol. They need to restrict these shitty transfers. Its like, every 2 months a team does 180. can you even be bound to that sort of team? Like, in one year all 5 people get swapped out, why should you remain a fan of that team anymore? Its more practical to be a fan of a single pro player instead.
nope the TI prize pool make dota so popular and then navi win ti the biggest prize pool in ESPORt so media make it navi and dendi so popular. and dendi is media guy. u call dendi legend but call puppey monitor ? puppey still win MAJOR and lan right now. but we didnt call him legend :?
We call him a legend because he is the one who started it all, he wasn't the most popular, his skills were recognized but the Asian teams were so dominant and all the odds were against him, but he did pull it off, him and his teammates won, he showed everyone that you might be new/casual/not recognized but you can do it......that is why we call him a legend the prize pool is just a prize pool
Fragst3rDota lol. The few years before you would say Arteezy or Sumail or someone else. The reason why Dendi so popular is not in his game skills (not only), it's about his charisma.
absolutely agree with you :) meeting dendi in RL (ESL Frankfurt) proves that but nobody will remember in 5 years. Thats the community .. it suck but its reality
I dont care of what everyone's saying. And sorry if I overreact or whatevs. first. thank you so much for making this video. its just so meaningful for me. for me dendi is best player and deserved the "living legend" title. and for me his loyalty and determination is very very inspiring. in the end I cant say anything but best of luck for dendi. if you, dendi, are seeing this simple writing, dont lose your way. i dont know how it feels to be you right now but as a fan since 2012, I'll be cheering for you. Good luck!
I think I'm really old, sad life. I started playing Dota waaaaay back. When it was still a mod in warcraft and I started playing when it was Guinsoo who continued updating the maps after euls dropped it. And then Guinsoo also left to have a job at riot games but then Ice frog and neichus took after. The last hero I played was batrider ooohhh the good old days. Now I'm stuck in an office with white fckin walls and poker faced A-holes. Sorry for the long post
I thought I am the only one, seems like you and I both started playing around the same time. quit dota 1 looong time ago n some old replay got me to dota 2, tried it a couple times only to know that there is massive gameplay n strategy differences, n the toxicity doesn't help..now i am enjoying watching the pro playing the game, i never imagine dota will be an esport like today. n i am playing with AI for the old time sake on my free time. thanks for sharing mate
The good old times. When Bounty Hunter was Gondar, Spirit Breaker was Barathrum and Drow Ranger was Traxex. :) And when I was getting triple kills with Razor's chain lightning and both Razor and Viper had Frenzy as spells.
I was playing DotA way way back in war3 times, sadly only just for fun with few friends... I was one of the first who got DotA2 (45 minutes waiting time for a game at minimum xd - Europe servers had ~8 people online) but Dendi really put my casual side aside. Me and my friend played DotA for years and we both got really strong at the game just because of this one man.
Can't deny the fact that most people played dota 2 because of Dendi. He is legend regardless of what he is now. You can't expect him to be in his prime for his whole career. Besides, like what Jordan said what's the point of having a good record when you don't even have a ring. :/
This is quite true. At one point after I almost shattered by friendship, I quit Dota because I can never be good at it. Navi's run at TI2 introduced me to competitive Dota, so I learned how to play the game 'properly', and my love for the game got reignited until now.
@@dhr.neuteboom4536 i said "dota 2". I started at dota aswell back when it was only at garena. When dota 2 came out i was skeptical of switching. After watching dendi and Ti1 though i moved to dota 2 and played better. Dota just got more competitive after dota 2 without a doubt.
This video brought tears to my eyes.. I''ve been a fan of Dendi and Navi since 2012 and I felt so much of both joy and heartbreak watching that team perform and watching that man perform. They might not attend TIs, they might not win tournaments or have a stable roster, but no other team will ever replace them in my heart.
When I went to TI4, I got to talk to him a bit before the game he was eliminated in and then once more after. It was really sad to see them perform so poorly, and he definitely took it hard, but I'm glad he ended up sticking it through and is still playing now, even if he gets older and doesn't quite match some younger players in technical skill, he's still clearly got what it takes and is a fan-favorite, so here's hoping for many successful years to come.
joeytmandude yeah..he have so much passion towards Dota just like kuroky too..except kuroky have a better shot for the ti8 with his new team. But whatever happens, he never let it get back at him and just keep on smiling.
Dendi isn't the best mid player atm...but he's the icon of Dota2; he's the reason many of us started loving dota...For many of the new players he doesn't mean a lot, but for me [ i started playing dota while it was in beta] he is a legend... missing the days when it was Dondo the Supamida FeelsBadMan
xmxuxe The reason Dendi fell into a decline of winning tournaments is because he sticks with old meta not the new one. See the highest dota mmr player now not Miracle but paparazzi, correct me if I am wrong. Just like the former Badman he sticks with the new meta. If there is a good new meta is released wherein Dendi will shine again and love him play again into the finals of competitive dota.
gamersstruggle Agree. Dendi has become an experienced player now, but he still sticks with his old style, including hero and lane choices. I mean, he cannot match other midlaners anymore in terms of flexibility, so why keep on using heroes like Sf. See s4, he still stick with his Puck, because he is so good at it, but he has shifted from mid role into offlane position, and his hero choices also changed. He is still performing well with his Centaur, BrewMaster, the tanker which requires more experience than flexibility to put on a show. Fix me if i am wrong, cuz it is just my opinion, but in order to improve, he has to change. It is not that his play was not good, but it is not suitable anymore, for both the meta and for himself.
actually, that's all on the draft maker and their captain. untill now, no body can really dictate the role picking decision of that legend. by knowing dendi's attitude in playing dota, he is the type of easy going person and some kinf of flexible. I believe he can easily accept the order if only the captain has enough confident and influence to the team. now the question is, is there someone who confident enough to give that command to him to play out side the mid role. so far, only puppey can be considered as some who have a big influence in drafting and we all know what kind of puppey in dota scene, a stuborn selfish player. but tha's the most important aspect for being captain in commanding the teamplay. the other captain so far just like being mentored by dendi. Now the only choice is, find a great captain who can command that legend, otherwise, let him be the captain. It's not dendi who in slump. It's Na'Vi management. (btw, sorry for my terrible english)
indeed...they said in some interviews that they need a strong captain who can make them do this and that...na'vi had/has good players but the team needs a captain whom they listen to,a person who can dictate the game and decision adapt to the new meta or loose..
I will wait for the day when Dendi, together with his team, will reclaim the throne for Na'Vi. You can laugh at me and say that it is impossible or say that it is only the result of my wishful thinking but still, I will believe that day will come. A true fan can only have faith to his hero.
it sure is, man. always picking Na'vi for the one who win in every single TI Compendium prediction (unfortunately not this year because they can't make it). "People's Champion" as I say
Anyone who started playing dota2 after the ti5 thinks dendi is shit. I just feel sad for them. All these new faces maybe as good as, nay better than dendi, but we know. The old gen know, the one who started playing DotA, not dota2, know the reason why we started playing. The game we started loving was for many because of him including myself. You will never understand how we feel about dendi because you were never a part of gold gen. What we saw wasn't just the rise and fall of dendi, it was the rise and fall dota2 as well.
calm down with ''the fall of DotA 2''. Dendi is still a legendary player and DOTA is still a good game. Just cuz your old ass cant accept progress and change and renew doesnt mean something is bad.
To be honest, I still considered Dendi as as a high caliber mid player (I am a noob but till today I am still amazed by occasional amazing plays in his stream). However as stated in the video, dota 2 has transitioned from playmaker/farming into Objective > aggressive play/synchronised team fighting into objective which clearly not Dendi's strength. As of recent epicenter, his lane is always solid even though against more better players like Miracle, Ana or Midone. Nonetheless, really hope the current roster will rise again since on paper they are actually capable of being top 5 in any tournament .
they need to find better carry. pajkatt always underfarm every match even with terrorblade.. and also general always get destroyed in his lane and feed too much. just my opinion. need better offlane and carry. i dont know about biver. i didnt see any highlight play from him. also sonneiko isnt the same as last time before he leave navi. But they really need to replace pajkatt and general tbh
+xxmikaelxx123 Well from recent lans, pajkatt (safelane) is technically the most contested lane in most game i watched. Most of the time he spend time recovering back from the early contest which then limits navi's movement and sonneiko ability to roam around. And to be honest, i keep having this feels where biver is not really performing his role as post 5. Most post 5 is capable of babysit, pull and deward in a correct timing but from what I watched it was sonneiko and dendi who directed (pinging) the team where was warded and who to go to in a teamfight (and this is actually a very unhealthy trend since if post 4 and post 1 are forced to tinker about gameplan, it very hard for them to create plays). Without a solid leadership/direction, navi have been playing as 2+2+1 all the time. Talking about general, well he has been getting some of the worst match up ever (imagine having clockwork, ET and any support with stun on the opposite lane.). The worst of all in all the epicenter matches, general as always been given heros with good escape mechanic (batrider, darkseer , clock.... wait a second, i think he only play this 3 heros in the lan) which also means that particular hero is kinda meaningless without crucial item. Navi should really apply their previous strategy where their post 5 (artstyle) stay in lane with general to have better start (and of course who I am to suggest that, all i can hope is they know whahts the best for them).
I remember watching his story in the documentary Free-to-Play, even tho I never played DOTA, i was rooting for him and Navi and was on the edge of my seat the whole time and when he won I literally yelled out "YES!"
i was 4.5k at 14 in 2015... quit dota 2 in late 2016 and i dropped to like 4.1k, everybody in my town stopped playing in 2016 so did i, 4.5k was a decent achievement back in 2015, when i went to internet caffes older guys used to call me little dendi because i was a midlaner and sometimes played me for money but never paid me though even though i always won haha, was very little back then lol, now at 17 im watching this video and it almost made me cry realising time went by so fast, i remember playing dota for 10 hours a day..
Damn I know the feeling bro. the 7.00 update really changed everything. It was not like what it was before, and it was no longer the DotA that I knew. :(
If you dont know Dendi.. your not a true fan of dota2 One must search the history to know the current reality. Navi were once a spectacular team and Dendi is one of the dota2 first legend!
@@lyndazuii669 thats mean u are amateur dota 2 fan not prof , and u dont know the history about dota 2 and jst play dota cause u like some good player like "miracle or any else"
@@lyndazuii669 if u know the history about dendi u will be kind of sad saw this video, and last one i dont like ur attitude at this comment , u cant use some good word for comment?
One of my dreams is to have the opportunity to interview him!! I'm a psychologist and work in sports scenario, and this guy... wow, how enthusiastic and fantastic performance he does with public!
that last pose :( dont u dare ever quit dota 2 Dendi.. One of the many reasons i started Dota 2. Watched every NaVi match by skipping classes in university. Brings back so many memories :( I dedicate my 1k hours of dota2 to you.
Is it weird that my favorite Navi roster isn't the 'Golden era' of Navi, but the one with Ditya Ra? It shows how big Dendi's drive is, because even after their roster imploded several times, and just hits rock bottom, he can get back up again in a glorious blaze. At the time between TI5 and TI6, Navi actually took the scene by surprise with their aggressive playstyle again, as if they're getting back to their roots. To be able to get back up from that hole is impressive.
Sometimes the biggest smiles hide the biggest wounds I don't know how'd Dendi manages to cope through all his loss. Having tasted fame and victory before, losing everything he'd built in Navi must be devastating, especially when he didn't qualify for TI7 as a player. Yet, he's always smiling, always wants to make everyone happy. Almost all pro players respect him, he even inspire those who'll become a rising stars themselves, like Bulldog and Midone. Not to mention the countless people he'd inspired to play Dota 2. A living legend, and a wonderful guy. There's zero reason to hate this guy, seriously. We'll always love the supamida.
Theres a michael schumacher on f1. Theres a valentino rossi on motogp. Theres a maradona or pele in football. Theres michael jordan in basketball. Theres lin dan in badminton. But then, theres this guy nicknamed "dendi". True legend of e-sports
My heart crying. This is what people called a living legend. Despite all the lost, from family to teammates, your loyalty amaze us. Dont worry. Your day will come again! Sincerely, your signature heroes lover.
I don't and never have i played DOTA, yet i found myself rooting for this guy through the entire video - great job Wish him best of luck and much more success in future
I would love to see Dendi rise again. Good luck to the most beloved professional Dota player in the world. Undoubtedly, you are my most favorite player and a great inspiration. Love from Bangladesh.
I don't even play Dota 2 but i just follow how Dendi is doing every once in a while,he seems like a humble guy and great player overall eventhough i can't appreciate it myself as i have almost not knowledge about the game lol.
Maradona will never represent football.Pelé is the true king of football,maradona cheated to win 1 world cup,Pelé won way more and will forever be the symbol of this sport
This is a pretty cool channel. I'm learning a lot, as an outsider who usually only watches football, nowadays(soccer). I've watched almost every sport but have found e sports hard to grasp/care about, you're helping bridge the gap.
The reason my signature hero is Pudge was because of him, the reason I didn't quit Dota and to keep on being positive was all because of being Inspired by this Legend. No one can ever be like him even Abed who was the first 10k couldn't be Legend like him. Praise Dendi. Miss the old Na'Vi fountain hook.
not winning a single game for 20 months.... what ya expect someone would do "leave the fricking team" but what Dendi did he stayed with them and hang on cause NAVI is everything to him gotta give that man some respect.... to all those haters out there calling Dendi a feeder in a game please... as if you never feed in the game give the guy a break he used to be good but dota has changed a lot since Dota 1 you expect him to get good in a single day... come on use common sense
what I was trying to say is give him some time as most people have their own ups and downs moment in life so he'll need sometimes to get back on track as with the new update the play style changes and dendi is still playing old school play style gameplay.... cause most of the haters expect a person to be good in every single game...
Sad that he isn't that good anymore now, legend doesn't live forever, he's getting outskilled by younger player like Miracle or Noone, but despite all of that his love for Dota is undeniable, he loves the game so much, i really respect that and he has a good personality. I love ya Dendi... gl for whatever decision you'll make for future (most fans now wants him to retire...)
Dendi is one of the most know player on Dota 2 history even refuses to change team even in a brink of disband. Dendi's Fountain hook was a true skill and even they say it was a bug and later removed from the game, but his guts to do that on cliff hanger situation, you have a balls of steel to try and amazed all to what he have pulled of there.
he is the one that makes me subscribe most of the dota 2 channe, he's really different from any other Dota 2 players in the world cause he really shows the passion.
Call me shit or whatnot, but i literally cried watching this, fuck! Why cant dendi be happy again, i want him to win again. I mean the dude is a good person and why are people talking shit to him? I dont understand! Dendi! Im a solid fan! In a world full of miracle or sumail, and in a world full of EG, SECRET, or LIQUID, i still support a team called navi and a player named Dendi! Even if u lose, i still support you, even if you're losing, i still watch your games. Even if you went 0-8, i still watch your games! Navi and dendi! I hope you will come back to winning games! Good luck dendi! Good luck navi! #Navi4Life #SupamidaDendi
louise rizarri they're never gonna comeback. Sorry bro. It's time for Na'Vi to disband and Dendi to retire. It's over for them. They couldn't even win Kiev Major. Their home city
Dendi can still play but not for na'vi. Na'vi is not good at handling their own players, look at puppey and koroky, they left na'vi to have better oppurtunities.
chiefster11 and you never will enter the pro scene or succeed in life because you lack trust, and if you ask me why id conclude your life that easily? because you concluded Na`Vi's run in dota that easily too :P and FUCK YOU! dont ruin our dreams!
Dendi: The Reason why we play and love Dota. The Legend is someone that can make everyones happy and enjoy to see him and that's Dendi for me. I always cheer for Na'Vi and waiting for Na'Vi to be a TI Champion again. Great video and thanks. Sorry if my English are bad 😊
I remember being at TI3 as a little kid and crying because dendi specifically lost, I remember crying and hugging him after the match outside in the lobby of the building and asking him to win the next one. “I’ll try my best.” Truly the best player to ever Grace the game, thank you dendi for building my passion for Dota and video games
Dendi is awesome, has fallen down as mid with limited old school hero pool. But when he was at his prime you see fountain hooks, the Play and just sheer joy . It's not about what he is now, it's the memories which like me a lot of fans cherish everytime they remember Dota.
Harvey Jao Jordan was also loyal to his team, and Kobe gave up on his teammates in 2004-2007 calling them scrubs and threatening to leave if he didn't get a good teammate.
He's the real reason why I started watching TI matches I get so hyped watching him so humble in person. Great video!
same
Same great player and personality. He is one of the reasons why Dota 2 had popularity the early stages.
Same dude, he is really the best player in the world for me!!!! Dendi
i don't get why people hate him i mean he might not be the best players out there right now but pls stop with the hate xD
same here.
Everyone can be on TI, man. But staying loyal with 1 team for 10 years, its another story.
no mate, not everyone can be on TI :)
Monica Hutomo ye its another fucking story bcs if navi decided to kick dendi the merch sells will fall so they have no other option but keep him. so dendi leaving navi wont happen like wwe kicking john cena wont happen they are the face of both company/team
Well, Dendi can leave whenever he wants and the organization can't do squat. John Cena canleave if he said enough and not extend his contract anymore. Na'Vi doesn't exclusively own him so that's what matters: his loyalty.

It was really sad to see them perform so poorly, and he definitely took it hard, but I'm glad he ended up sticking it through and is still playing now, even if he gets older and doesn't quite match some younger players in technical skill, he's still clearly got what it takes and is a fan-favorite, so here's hoping for many successful years to come.
joeytmandude yeah..he have so much passion towards Dota just like kuroky too..except kuroky have a better shot for the ti8 with his new team. But whatever happens, he never let it get back at him and just keep on smiling.
Dendi isn't the best mid player atm...but he's the icon of Dota2; he's the reason many of us started loving dota...For many of the new players he doesn't mean a lot, but for me [ i started playing dota while it was in beta] he is a legend... missing the days when it was Dondo the Supamida FeelsBadMan
xmxuxe The reason Dendi fell into a decline of winning tournaments is because he sticks with old meta not the new one. See the highest dota mmr player now not Miracle but paparazzi, correct me if I am wrong. Just like the former Badman he sticks with the new meta. If there is a good new meta is released wherein Dendi will shine again and love him play again into the finals of competitive dota.
gamersstruggle Agree. Dendi has become an experienced player now, but he still sticks with his old style, including hero and lane choices. I mean, he cannot match other midlaners anymore in terms of flexibility, so why keep on using heroes like Sf. See s4, he still stick with his Puck, because he is so good at it, but he has shifted from mid role into offlane position, and his hero choices also changed. He is still performing well with his Centaur, BrewMaster, the tanker which requires more experience than flexibility to put on a show. Fix me if i am wrong, cuz it is just my opinion, but in order to improve, he has to change. It is not that his play was not good, but it is not suitable anymore, for both the meta and for himself.
actually, that's all on the draft maker and their captain. untill now, no body can really dictate the role picking decision of that legend. by knowing dendi's attitude in playing dota, he is the type of easy going person and some kinf of flexible. I believe he can easily accept the order if only the captain has enough confident and influence to the team.
now the question is, is there someone who confident enough to give that command to him to play out side the mid role. so far, only puppey can be considered as some who have a big influence in drafting and we all know what kind of puppey in dota scene, a stuborn selfish player. but tha's the most important aspect for being captain in commanding the teamplay. the other captain so far just like being mentored by dendi.
Now the only choice is, find a great captain who can command that legend, otherwise, let him be the captain.
It's not dendi who in slump. It's Na'Vi management. (btw, sorry for my terrible english)
The patches indeed changed the pro players like Dendi,Mushi,Fear,Chuan,Singsing, and many more legends
indeed...they said in some interviews that they need a strong captain who can make them do this and that...na'vi had/has good players but the team needs a captain whom they listen to,a person who can dictate the game and decision
adapt to the new meta or loose..
I will wait for the day when Dendi, together with his team, will reclaim the throne for Na'Vi. You can laugh at me and say that it is impossible or say that it is only the result of my wishful thinking but still, I will believe that day will come. A true fan can only have faith to his hero.
Kæl M omgg.
damn! felt goosebumps! you got it man! " A true fan can only have faith to his hero " :)
it sure is, man. always picking Na'vi for the one who win in every single TI Compendium prediction (unfortunately not this year because they can't make it). "People's Champion" as I say
Ya that enigma that he never used but he just trust his instinct and won
same here! navi can do it again
Anyone who started playing dota2 after the ti5 thinks dendi is shit. I just feel sad for them. All these new faces maybe as good as, nay better than dendi, but we know. The old gen know, the one who started playing DotA, not dota2, know the reason why we started playing. The game we started loving was for many because of him including myself.
You will never understand how we feel about dendi because you were never a part of gold gen. What we saw wasn't just the rise and fall of dendi, it was the rise and fall dota2 as well.
He is the Daigo Umehara of Dota.
The true fan who played since Warcraft will known that Dendi is the legit and the best player
Yeah, i play since dota 1 until the dota TI 2, but even now i stop playing dota 2, dendi and na'vi is still my favorite
Same goes with Loda. Being disrespected now, but one of the innovators during dota 1.
calm down with ''the fall of DotA 2''. Dendi is still a legendary player and DOTA is still a good game. Just cuz your old ass cant accept progress and change and renew doesnt mean something is bad.
basketball = Michael Jordan
dota = dendi
simple as that.
True, even non Dota Fans and Player know who he is, that's how iconic Dendi is
Dota = Miracle-, Dendi is shit
different era man. Dendi is way out of his prime now. Prime dendi is as good as miracle if not better
LOL Prime Dendi is overated
Respect to living noob trash?
Dendi will be forever legend
To be honest, I still considered Dendi as as a high caliber mid player (I am a noob but till today I am still amazed by occasional amazing plays in his stream).
However as stated in the video, dota 2 has transitioned from playmaker/farming into Objective > aggressive play/synchronised team fighting into objective which clearly not Dendi's strength. As of recent epicenter, his lane is always solid even though against more better players like Miracle, Ana or Midone.
Nonetheless, really hope the current roster will rise again since on paper they are actually capable of being top 5 in any tournament .
i can tell he improve by alot
Dwight Falcon party?
truth
they need to find better carry. pajkatt always underfarm every match even with terrorblade.. and also general always get destroyed in his lane and feed too much. just my opinion. need better offlane and carry. i dont know about biver. i didnt see any highlight play from him. also sonneiko isnt the same as last time before he leave navi. But they really need to replace pajkatt and general tbh
+xxmikaelxx123
Well from recent lans, pajkatt (safelane) is technically the most contested lane in most game i watched. Most of the time he spend time recovering back from the early contest which then limits navi's movement and sonneiko ability to roam around. And to be honest, i keep having this feels where biver is not really performing his role as post 5. Most post 5 is capable of babysit, pull and deward in a correct timing but from what I watched it was sonneiko and dendi who directed (pinging) the team where was warded and who to go to in a teamfight (and this is actually a very unhealthy trend since if post 4 and post 1 are forced to tinker about gameplan, it very hard for them to create plays). Without a solid leadership/direction, navi have been playing as 2+2+1 all the time.
Talking about general, well he has been getting some of the worst match up ever (imagine having clockwork, ET and any support with stun on the opposite lane.). The worst of all in all the epicenter matches, general as always been given heros with good escape mechanic (batrider, darkseer , clock.... wait a second, i think he only play this 3 heros in the lan) which also means that particular hero is kinda meaningless without crucial item.
Navi should really apply their previous strategy where their post 5 (artstyle) stay in lane with general to have better start (and of course who I am to suggest that, all i can hope is they know whahts the best for them).
Dendi one of those guys you want as a friend for life because you know he got your back
its sad that this is the first ti without dendi
Dendi and Notails are the reasons why i love TI
Na'Vi (and spec. Dendi) was the reason why I started to watch Dota esport :)
finally I have been wating for this kind of videos from you guys thank you for reminding us who made TI more fun to eatch
Dendi. The reason why I played and practiced pudge. The very reason I played dota 2.
Leavez the reason pudge is number 1 pick in pubs game
Leavez same i got into pudge because of dendi too. and i still play him to this day
me no i love using pudge becoz its so easy to kill with pudge haha
same do i
the reason why so many cancer pudge. hahaha
I remember watching his story in the documentary Free-to-Play, even tho I never played DOTA, i was rooting for him and Navi and was on the edge of my seat the whole time and when he won I literally yelled out "YES!"
That's what I called him "The Kobe Bryant of Dota 2"
He’s more like a Larry Bird. He’s a old dude. Shit compared to modern pros.
i think i teared up a little
The raise and fall of Navi. My tears actually dropping.
From my favorite team OG to my favorite player Dendi.
The Dendi era, the good old days where you can play with your friends in a computer shop.
Man, will never forget how Dendi is the only player I know before I started watching tournaments this lockdown.
Dendi is the reason i kept playin dota from noob im now 3.7k mmr and im 14
Xaxaxa
What am 11 and 4k MMR
Im 16 6.2k in sea
I'm 14 and I have the mindset of 4k but I've never been able to get there because I've been stuck in the cancer that is the SEA servers
i was 4.5k at 14 in 2015... quit dota 2 in late 2016 and i dropped to like 4.1k, everybody in my town stopped playing in 2016 so did i, 4.5k was a decent achievement back in 2015, when i went to internet caffes older guys used to call me little dendi because i was a midlaner and sometimes played me for money but never paid me though even though i always won haha, was very little back then lol, now at 17 im watching this video and it almost made me cry realising time went by so fast, i remember playing dota for 10 hours a day..
DENDI DIDNT LOST HIS SKILLS, HE'S JUST HAVING A HARD TIME ON NEW META PLAYS, IM A DOTA 1 PLAYER SO I KNOW WHATS THE FEELING.
true that, and the line up for the team keep changing
Damn I know the feeling bro. the 7.00 update really changed everything. It was not like what it was before, and it was no longer the DotA that I knew. :(
yeah it's all about the patch.
Carl Vincent same feeling. that players from dota1 is having a hard time keeping up with meta changes thats why younger/newer players always up
The competition is way higher too. Many players lurking in the top 1% has worked insanely hard to become the top 0.001%
Dendi = VR46
that's why we love him. a legend
If you dont know Dendi.. your not a true fan of dota2
One must search the history to know the current reality.
Navi were once a spectacular team and Dendi is one of the dota2 first legend!
Fuck you bitch only because we know dendi why aren't we a true dota fan hahhhhhh?
Lynda Zuii amateur dota 2 fan is you
@@lyndazuii669 thats mean u are amateur dota 2 fan not prof , and u dont know the history about dota 2 and jst play dota cause u like some good player like "miracle or any else"
@@lyndazuii669 if u know the history about dendi u will be kind of sad saw this video, and last one i dont like ur attitude at this comment , u cant use some good word for comment?
One of my dreams is to have the opportunity to interview him!! I'm a psychologist and work in sports scenario, and this guy... wow, how enthusiastic and fantastic performance he does with public!
How are the fountain hooks against TongFu not on here?! O.o That was LEGENDARY!
that last pose :( dont u dare ever quit dota 2 Dendi.. One of the many reasons i started Dota 2. Watched every NaVi match by skipping classes in university. Brings back so many memories :( I dedicate my 1k hours of dota2 to you.
I still remember my few friends who had never played dota or dota2 knew Dendi's name, thats how legend he was .
Is it weird that my favorite Navi roster isn't the 'Golden era' of Navi, but the one with Ditya Ra? It shows how big Dendi's drive is, because even after their roster imploded several times, and just hits rock bottom, he can get back up again in a glorious blaze. At the time between TI5 and TI6, Navi actually took the scene by surprise with their aggressive playstyle again, as if they're getting back to their roots.
To be able to get back up from that hole is impressive.
No words can describe him.
We love you.
What i love the most is his smile. Thats why he become my fav.
Saw dendi's face at the backstage when navi was out from Major Allstar tournament. Can't even approached him as his team shoo me away.
so sad how NaVi have fallen after Dendi left. He himself was NaVi.
Na'Vi fell much earlier then Dendi leaving, they were bad with Dendi also
@@berkulusoy5 after dendi left navi, no one paid attention to navi anymore thats what he wants to say
Sup?
Navi's downfall begun when Puppey left.
NAVI is back to golden days??
reached TI after 3 years
played 3 final matches in 2020
1 champion title
I'll stell watching now 2021 inspiring player. Legend never forget. DendiPudge everyone can be a legend
His determination towards the team and not giving on it is truly inspiring
Sometimes the biggest smiles hide the biggest wounds
I don't know how'd Dendi manages to cope through all his loss. Having tasted fame and victory before, losing everything he'd built in Navi must be devastating, especially when he didn't qualify for TI7 as a player. Yet, he's always smiling, always wants to make everyone happy. Almost all pro players respect him, he even inspire those who'll become a rising stars themselves, like Bulldog and Midone. Not to mention the countless people he'd inspired to play Dota 2.
A living legend, and a wonderful guy. There's zero reason to hate this guy, seriously. We'll always love the supamida.
Dendi is the reason I watched dota matches. What a great guy.
Theres a michael schumacher on f1. Theres a valentino rossi on motogp. Theres a maradona or pele in football.
Theres michael jordan in basketball.
Theres lin dan in badminton.
But then, theres this guy nicknamed "dendi". True legend of e-sports
When I first saw him playing, that catches my interest on the tournaments in dota. Avid fan here
My heart crying. This is what people called a living legend. Despite all the lost, from family to teammates, your loyalty amaze us. Dont worry. Your day will come again!
Sincerely, your signature heroes lover.
I don't and never have i played DOTA, yet i found myself rooting for this guy through the entire video - great job
Wish him best of luck and much more success in future
Thank you for making this video, very good research, clips and, editing.
Oh yeah and very good quality. I'm on 480 looks like 720 without 60 fps. Great work
remember how he made that dragonclaw hook worth so much xD
Dendi Puck is Unbelieveble
Dendi Pudge gonna Blindhook
Dendi Rubick will steal your Ulti
I would love to see Dendi rise again. Good luck to the most beloved professional Dota player in the world. Undoubtedly, you are my most favorite player and a great inspiration. Love from Bangladesh.
I don't even play Dota 2 but i just follow how Dendi is doing every once in a while,he seems like a humble guy and great player overall eventhough i can't appreciate it myself as i have almost not knowledge about the game lol.
I got so hooked at dota because of dendi
Dendi is dota. No one can change that.
I played dota because of him
I'm a league of legend player, but from now I transfer to DOTA 2... this guy is so inspiring he don't even change team for TEN YEARS...
Philippines WTF welcome to the Abstract Flame Corp.
10 years u mean 8?
@@bonaxlverte7088 *OOF*
Dendi is the reason why I started playing dota he is my inspiration respect for this man
He’s the Kobe Of Dota 2
Love this Guy..
Would love to see the
Old Na’vi play together again..
I am a Navi fan since dota1 when navi vs mym (meet your makers) was a thing. I will always love dendi and he will always be my number 1
Dude, we need Dendi and Na'vi back... Let's hope they gain that momentum next TI....❤️
dendi is DotA. dotA is Dendi. simple.. (same like rossi is MotoGP. maradonna is football. M.jordan is basketball)
ek d nice man agree with yo
Maradona will never represent football.Pelé is the true king of football,maradona cheated to win 1 world cup,Pelé won way more and will forever be the symbol of this sport
PK Fire tru tho
brazillians themselves think that garrincha is better than pele
Messi is football, Faker is League of legends, S1mple as CSGO....
This is a pretty cool channel. I'm learning a lot, as an outsider who usually only watches football, nowadays(soccer). I've watched almost every sport but have found e sports hard to grasp/care about, you're helping bridge the gap.
That's awesome to hear! 👍
The reason my signature hero is Pudge was because of him, the reason I didn't quit Dota and to keep on being positive was all because of being Inspired by this Legend. No one can ever be like him even Abed who was the first 10k couldn't be Legend like him. Praise Dendi. Miss the old Na'Vi fountain hook.
5:31 still got the goose bumps
not winning a single game for 20 months.... what ya expect someone would do "leave the fricking team" but what Dendi did he stayed with them and hang on cause NAVI is everything to him gotta give that man some respect.... to all those haters out there calling Dendi a feeder in a game please... as if you never feed in the game give the guy a break he used to be good but dota has changed a lot since Dota 1 you expect him to get good in a single day... come on use common sense
Kazama Kido all makes sense but the "u expect him to get good in one day " that's the worst thing i ever heard
what I was trying to say is give him some time as most people have their own ups and downs moment in life so he'll need sometimes to get back on track as with the new update the play style changes and dendi is still playing old school play style gameplay.... cause most of the haters expect a person to be good in every single game...
Oh ok
Yeah even if he feed, lose or troll, he still make lots of money.
Sad that he isn't that good anymore now, legend doesn't live forever, he's getting outskilled by younger player like Miracle or Noone, but despite all of that his love for Dota is undeniable, he loves the game so much, i really respect that and he has a good personality. I love ya Dendi... gl for whatever decision you'll make for future (most fans now wants him to retire...)
For Dendi Was the one inspiring me to play Dota2 again actually he was always the best player of all
Dendi is one of the most know player on Dota 2 history even refuses to change team even in a brink of disband. Dendi's Fountain hook was a true skill and even they say it was a bug and later removed from the game, but his guts to do that on cliff hanger situation, you have a balls of steel to try and amazed all to what he have pulled of there.
where's the fountain hook?
RIP Dendi. We miss you.
And now he became a caster in TI 2019
arief sp and he's gonna play in ti10 with his new team
I came here 5 years later just tot see this moment 5:47
he is the one that makes me subscribe most of the dota 2 channe, he's really different from any other Dota 2 players in the world cause he really shows the passion.
"MMR IS JUST A NUMBER"
Dendi was the face of dota2. Like if you agree ☺️
Call me shit or whatnot, but i literally cried watching this, fuck! Why cant dendi be happy again, i want him to win again. I mean the dude is a good person and why are people talking shit to him? I dont understand! Dendi! Im a solid fan! In a world full of miracle or sumail, and in a world full of EG, SECRET, or LIQUID, i still support a team called navi and a player named Dendi! Even if u lose, i still support you, even if you're losing, i still watch your games. Even if you went 0-8, i still watch your games! Navi and dendi! I hope you will come back to winning games! Good luck dendi! Good luck navi! #Navi4Life
#SupamidaDendi
louise rizarri trust me. navi gonna comeback....
into the trash can
sure with you in it
louise rizarri they're never gonna comeback. Sorry bro. It's time for Na'Vi to disband and Dendi to retire. It's over for them. They couldn't even win Kiev Major. Their home city
Dendi can still play but not for na'vi. Na'vi is not good at handling their own players, look at puppey and koroky, they left na'vi to have better oppurtunities.
chiefster11 and you never will enter the pro scene or succeed in life because you lack trust, and if you ask me why id conclude your life that easily? because you concluded Na`Vi's run in dota that easily too :P and FUCK YOU! dont ruin our dreams!
Dendi: The Reason why we play and love Dota. The Legend is someone that can make everyones happy and enjoy to see him and that's Dendi for me. I always cheer for Na'Vi and waiting for Na'Vi to be a TI Champion again. Great video and thanks. Sorry if my English are bad 😊
I remember being at TI3 as a little kid and crying because dendi specifically lost, I remember crying and hugging him after the match outside in the lobby of the building and asking him to win the next one. “I’ll try my best.” Truly the best player to ever Grace the game, thank you dendi for building my passion for Dota and video games
5:45 dendi screaming “ezz”
Dendi, the Kobe of Dota!
The most loved player.
dominating dota 2 in early years and now struggeling to maintain dominance in todays new set of great players. salute!
Dendi is awesome, has fallen down as mid with limited old school hero pool. But when he was at his prime you see fountain hooks, the Play and just sheer joy . It's not about what he is now, it's the memories which like me a lot of fans cherish everytime they remember Dota.
I remember the days casters called xboct “eks-bokt”
Do they call it havoss?

Michael Jordan of Dota 2
Admiral Pogi I prefer Kobe. Loyalty at it's best and he never gives up on his team mates no matter what.
ronaldinho of dota2
Harvey Jao Jordan was also loyal to his team, and Kobe gave up on his teammates in 2004-2007 calling them scrubs and threatening to leave if he didn't get a good teammate.
Jebaitor eksdee tbh kobe's teammates were pretty trash other than lamar odom there were no starter caliber player in his team back then
none ..MIRACLE IS THE DURANT OF DOTA..
5:46 Dendi reaction tho!
The first time I saw Dendi played was back in 2008-2009 when he was playing with DTS. He is kinda like YaphetS, a pub star with his Pudge.
Dendi is a legend and a gentleman, I wish him the best.
