Here are the five biggest plays in International history.The Grand Finals of TI3, Navi vs. Alliance, is arguably the greatest best-of-five series in Dota history. Navi, fan favorites since TI1, and Alliance, looking unstoppable with its top-tier split-pushing strategy, had each won two games. All that remained was game five.Navi’s entire team pushed straight into Alliance’s base, while Alliance split up and attacked Navi’s base from two sides. When Navi realized the trade wasn’t favorable, they all tried to teleport back home and save their buildings. Alliance’s mid player, S4, playing Puck, used his Dream Coil ultimate to cancel three of Navi’s teleport scrolls, meaning only two players were able to make it back to defend. It wasn’t enough, and Navi lost two lanes of barracks -- often a death sentence. Alliance became TI3 champions soon after.The best thing about The Play is that no matter how many times you watch it, you can always notice something amazing about it that you hadn’t seen before.Navi vs. Invictus Gaming, TI2. IG gets a perfect setup on Navi by using Naga Siren’s song ultimate, which locks the enemy team in stasis. IG clumps up to kill Navi, waiting for the song end. Navi does have two heroes with spell immunity, and their only hope is for both of those heroes to activate it when the song ends before IG follows up with Ravage, a huge, stunning ultimate. They both get it off, and a third Navi player, Dendi, even manages to dodge the Ravage as well. With a largely wasted ultimate, IG is helpless when Navi unleashes some huge spells of their own, steals Ravage, and uses it against its owner. It’s such a showcase of patience and great decision making that only a name as epic as “The Play” will do.The most recent on the list, the Six Million Dollar Echo Slam happened during last year’s TI5 finals between Evil Geniuses and CDEC. What’s perfect about this play is that it hinges on perhaps the biggest, loudest ultimate in the game.After killing EG’s mid player, Sumail, CDEC tries to kill Roshan, a massive dragon with an item that grants one player a second life. Even though an all-out fight would be 4v5 without Sumail, EG decides to contest anyway. After throwing a powerful Ice Blast ultimate into the Roshan pit, EG player Universe jumps into the pit and unleashes his ultimate, Echo Slam, which does more damage based on how many enemies it hits. It hits the entire enemy team. Only one CDEC player survives, but EG’s huge play sets them up for a TI5 victory not long after. For our full play breakdown, check out How the Six Million Dollar Echo Slam Worked.This one is… a bit of an oddball. Not only is it super cheesy, it can never, ever happen again.Before Navi faced off against Alliance in the TI3 finals, it had to fight its way through TongFu. With the best-of-three series tied at 1-1, TongFu took a convincing lead in the third game. To turn the game around, Navi fell back on an arguably dishonorable, but inarguably effective tactic called “fountain hooking.” Using the hero Pudge, Navi was able to pull heroes to them using a hook skill -- think Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Navi also had a hero called Keeper of the Light, who can send friendly heroes back to their base. With perfect timing, Pudge can hook a hero and Keeper of the Light can send Pudge back home, dragging the poor enemy hero all the way back to the enemy base where huge, powerful turrets are waiting. After dismantling TongFu with fountain hooks, Navi stormed their base in a final push and won.Soon after TI3, Valve removed fountain hooking from the game. Yep, this one’s dirty.They’re all dead! Dota fans will likely know the meme, but they may not know its source.Orange vs. TongFu, TI3. After a few minutes of fighting around Roshan, the mighty dragon is low on health. When this happens, it pulls both teams to the Roshan pit like a magnet. After TongFu catches out one of Orange’s supports alone, they dive in for the kill hoping to cripple the enemy team and secure Roshan for themselves. They get the kill, but waiting behind the trees is an enemy Dark Seer, who has the ability to clump their entire team together. He springs the trap and clusters TongFu. At the same time, his carry, Sven, shows up and hacks the enemy team apart with only a few powerful swings. Roshan dies soon after, but a meme is born.
