The Story of Puppey
Ойындар
Never, in the history of competitive Dota, has there been a captain as revered, innovative and permanent as Puppey. But despite the controversy he’s invoked and the criticism he's invited, Puppey commands a respect that few others can muster, and remains quite possibly the game’s single most influential and enduring thinker.
This is his story.

Hey Everyone, we misspoke in The Story of Puppey and said that The Play took place during TI 2’s Grand Finals when it in fact took place in the upper bracket semifinals. Sorry about that and as always, thanks for watching!

On the fountain hook thing, I come from an oldschool fighting-game mindset. If the game lets me do it it's legit. The difference between e-sports and a sport is that in a sport the rules arbitrarily restrict reality to shape the game. For example I can walk up to someone about to hike the ball in American football and punch them straight in the mouth. That's never happened because of the arbitrary restrictions on reality that shape the game, i.e rules. In an e-sport, the reality is coded into the game. If it allows me to do it, I can do it unless told otherwise. Saying something is dirty or cheap is just a self-imposed rule to restrict yourself when it's not restricted in any way. It's a fake sense of honor. If I can play Tekken and do an infinite on you, it's real unless the tournament bans it (arbitrary rule against reality), or if it's a hard-imposed rule by coding it out (strict rule against reality, it cannot happen). So fuck anyone saying it's cheap. Yeah it's cheap and you got bodied hold that L.

The thing is the fountain hook was broken, true. But also high risk high reward, because chen had to tp you back before you landed the hook, so missing it meant you were always gonna be without a pudge for the rest of that teamfight.

In this particular case I think it was enough within the rules of the game to be considered ok, BUT your argument doesn't really hold up for all cases. What would happen if one team would discover some button combination (a forgotten cheat left in the code) and win TI finals with it? Heros would be just invincible. Is that still ok with you? In the end it always will be a hard judgment call on a case by case basis ...

Well said, I like your take. And I agree with what David Miller below says, VALVE KNEW that the Fountain Hook existed. They could have easily patched it out (as they would go on to do later), and they chose to leave it in there. Yes, it's a stupid exploit and it's a shame Tongfu lost because of it, BUT that's on VALVE. Na'Vi didn't bear any responsibility for using something that the creators willingly left in the game. If anyone is mad about that, be pissed at VALVE for saying it's ok.

Using exploits in order to win, is still unethical, and was also in the old school days. They knew it was unethical, and they rolled with it, as they would have lost otherwise. It wasn't illegal, but unethical. Calling it a fake sense of honor, makes me think you are stupid, or simply will try to justify any means necessary to win, aka a cheater.

Wow! What an engaging and informative video! theScoreesports' ability to put together a story that I already mostly knew into something I'll sacrifice sleep over at 5am is impeccable! The question is: is that balanced?

I do think he has his negative moments, which is only natural if you think how long he is in the business. I mean, he's been to every TI there was... And you have to respect him, that he still keeps up with the game, even though he didn't manage to win TI again.
A small detail about NaVi/Alliance between 2nd and 3rd TIs: they haven't played against each other on LAN prior to Upper Bracket Final of TI3!
'fountain has 100% winrate' -puppy
You called the captain and drafter of time alliance s4, which isn't true. S4 was brand new on the scene at that point. Loda was definitely the leader of that alliance team, as admiralbulldog and akke have both attested to

For all the memes and jokes, I feel for Puppey man, I really do. This guy has been through some of the highest peaks and the lowest troughs and he's made it back up everytime. To not give up, to not lament, to pick up literal no names and make them into Major winners, this guy truly is the absolute best dota player and in my mind, will forever be. The president will be the one to win 2 TIs.

last year with ace and fata it gave me high hopes since they look crazy good. later on realized their play style revolves around giving fata some space and resources as well. So they rely mostly on cheesy heroes for ace to divert the enemies attention all over the map. This new line up though with Nisha and zai I think puppey might win it a 2nd time. Nisha can play any hero and zai can play without huge items. We might see puppey lift the aegis
Didn't know puppey liked Metal !... Now I like him even more ! :D

All of us makes mistakes, and gets frustrated. Others release it by calming their self, others do it by releasing their frustration. Puppey isn't an exception. He may done somethings that people will criticize him, but I know one thing for sure. That he is the best captain who ever played the game. Who else took their team into 3 grand finals appearance. Even though they only won one out of those three, but you get the point. I really miss those days man. And before you guys say anything bad. This is just only my personal opinion. Have a great time watching the vid. Cheers!
7:27 dondo reaction , ---- priceless
HELL YEAH FINALLY! Thanks guys!
10:10 look how he's shaking , how intensive this shit is
Puppey is a great captain and he has my respect.
IG was not a dark horse. While lot of teams did not attent the first TI due to having doubts or other reasons, IG was a top chinese team (with the same lineup) and did win the "world championship" for dota 1 that year. (dota 2 on ti1 had very limited hero pool at the time )
Im fans of team liquid but in this TI 9 i hope puppey can up the TI 9 aegis once again. He have the most solid team in this year. I cant wait TI 9 champions. Good luck

I understand puppey, hes like the perfectionist leader
I personally don't think fountain hooking was cheap or an exploit or something that should be removed. It has a very huge reward and *RISK* to it. If you miss the fountain hook, that is a valuable chen teleport on cd (can't save other allies) and pudge would have to blow tp to get back, which gives a huge window for the enemy team to push or fight a 4v5. Though I can understand if people think that people think that no mechanic in a game should give that guaranteed of a kill and I would probably be frustrated if I kept getting fountain hooked but I think it's very possible to play around it
My friend's brother knows Puppey and has played with him.
And in 2021, Puppey is the only one to attend every TI, and coming in 2nd place is his best friend Kuroky with 9 TIs in a row with Kuro's streak ending this year
After winning the TI 10 this video will be updated. Team Secret now is so strong. Go Puppey! Greatest cap ever.

By the way, I’m not sure but, RTZ just won a tournament with Secret? 😬😅
Its as puppey said in the beginning of the video, early navi wasnt about winning it was about playing dota, as a player whos been around since before the first TI i can say that that spirit of dota has died, internationals are all about the next meta play and winning you never see crazy shit happen anymore like the fountain hook or lodas puck t.p cancel.... It's sad honestly and breaks my heart to see the game become so mainstreamed that players would rather become robots to win... Dendi may not ever win again but dendi will always remain my favorite player because hes the only one left who carries the true spirit of dota into every battle and tournament with him. Im almost ashamed of what puppey has become.
