The Betrayed Brother who Became the Heart of Dota's Greatest Team: The Story of N0tail
You’ve heard of OG.
You know how a ragtag group of discards Cinderella’d their way to not one but two of the biggest wins in the history of esports. How a pubstar, a quitter, a coach and a comedian defied every conceivable expectation and made history.
Then there’s the long-suffering sweetheart who made it all happen. The heart and soul of OG. The god in whose image it was created.
The flower. The rainbow. The river. The BigDaddy himself.

A flower and a rainbow is here....
Bigdaddy😍😍😍😎😎😎🗺

N0tail Dota Goat! You inspired me to go pro in dota 😃
never forget that Notail lost his dog before TI9....dude went full Joh(a)n Wick towards his second Aegis
神楽坂アルタイル i know that they broke up but i never heard or saw him saying it.....she's currently with CS pro Karrigan if i'm not wrong
It was ti8 mate. And yes his gf is in relationship with karrigan. Fucking ditch bigdaddy to washed up.
@@pepsiboy4274 come to think of this: Anja breaks up with notail, notail wins TI. What if Anja breaks up with karrigan? Lmao
@@kevinmontana1102 karrigan might win a major
@@kevinmontana1102 i think they are already engaged so karrigan cant win a major by that logic 😂
Notail and Fly are the parents of OG but Fly is like the dad who went out to get milk but never came back. Ceb is the good Step Father who turned out to be a better parent than the real dad ever was
👏👏👏
Youre weird no doubt
That's dark man
I remember when they first came to dotes and everyone knew they were best friends.
he may have been his father boy, but wasnt his daddy.. -yondu
"Dont ever doubt yourself again" "We'll all do it and ill be there" "Once its my turn youll be there" -ceb
I nearly cried at that part. Damn, friendship is indeed the reason why OG is OG and the reason why they are what they are now. The power of friendship.

"I left OG because I wanna win a TI" -a guy who can't win a TI
very ironic lmao
he was the curse of notail. when they parted ways the curse is lifted that is why he won the TI consecutively.
sorry for my bad english btw, but i had a theory, what if fly actually know that they cant win TI together, becauss if fly is still with OG, then notail will be stuck in core position, and i know for a fact notail core cant carry OG back to back TI champion, so fly decided to antagonoze himself so notail will let him go out of anger, coz cmiiw notail said that he would rather not to play dota then playing without fly, and thus the outcome notail playing support position which is the best outcome and make OG back to back TI champion
@@nothunter1026 Notail won majors palying core so he can obviously win a ti playing core and fly wouldn’t of kept it secret then
@@KidTrigger just my theory, but if fly open about it i bet notail wont let him go, thus fly antagonize himself for the greater good, and if fly still with OG, topson wont join either
when people ask me why esports are engaging, I tell them this story
True : best esport story :
There are few stories in any sport that rival TI8. Leicester City is pretty much the only one I can think of just out of thd top of my head. The problem is people not willing to accept new things and keeping a closed mind, condemning everything unfamiliar.
his story(together with OG) is BY FAR the best esports story in all of esports
This story kinda sounds like fairy tail

Imagine stabbing your best friend in the back only to find out you were the one holding them back all along.
as much as I love this story of n0tail. Fly leaving was the only reason n0tail step down from carry and became what OG is today. maybe n0tail carry is holding them back and Fly knew that, but doesn't have the heart to confront n0tail about it. So he left?
@@shanefrey love your positive outlook my friend, but unfortunately from interviews, we clearly see fly was just very selfish

I cant wait to tell my kids that i was there, in the chat, spamming that flower... and i gave notail power
Lmao same
ti 8 was my first International. I watched it, and I was pumped. Did not know anything about the Cindarella story, untill it ended. Then came ti 9. I was there. I saw the "CEEEEEEEEB" call. I saw the Echo. I SAW THAT FUCKING IO PICK, WHICH WAS SO CONFUSING. I saw them crying, I was so fucking thrilled. They wern't players anymore. They were MY players. I felt part of something greater, a community, a group, a FAMILY. All of us, who were there. We loved, we suffered and ultimetly we saw them rising like the Legends they are.
How I wish i played dota,before LoL
rhymes perfectly
I almost cried when I was watching this video, when N0tail cried after winning. I dont play Dota, but hearing the story of what n0tail went through and the betrayal by his best friend to then beat him and win, it was just so good. I'm so happy that him and his teammates proved everyone wrong.
Flower power 🌻 you have good heart too just like the goat of dota big daddy Notail!

Fly is the the guy who you think is your best friend but isn't, Ceb is the guy whose always been there for you and is the person who down the years you realise is your true best friend.
Makes you really think when you want to make a jew as a friend. History repeat literally in this nOtail’s case. The difference is, notail claimed og, but israel claimed syria. When you thought they are allies, they choke your neck. Lol

Don't feel too bad. Our dads probably look tough in front of us so we can have their shoulders to cry on when we need it. Different way of showing love is all, nothing less :)
For me, the OG story, specially the NoTail part, is one of the best in esports history.
It's just beautiful, something that comes from movies

I remember when he still at C9 TI5, he lose so bad back then. but glad he still trying and now become 2 TI winner

I remember moving into a new share house and my new housemates were asking me about some DOTA twitch I was watching.

I told them about the sasufly and narutail betrayal, the retired coach who became a player again, the group stage ascent, the defeat of fly by notail in the semis, the PSG.LGD five game epic (ceeeeeeeeeeb!) and finally the lifting of the trophy. All up ended up talking for about half an hour straight. And...they loved it! They don’t play DOTA, they don’t watch DOTA, but if you ask them if they support a team they say “OG!”

LMAO the entire OG team is on the top of the esports prize winning list.
Yh the prize pool is massive. But there are probably a few richer players in esports who didn't win big
@TryZoid Well since 2015, the prize pool of every TI skyrocketed to the point that in 2015 when EG won, they were the top 5 earners. And when wings won in 2016, they suddenly jumped to the top 10 highest earners. And when liquid won ti7, they became the top 5. And now its OG on the run.
If you look at the "Games" statistics - Dota 2 have doled out about 229m $ split amongst 3894 players, the second highest game (CS GO) have given out 107m $ split between 13371 players. A third of the players and twice the cash makes Dota players rich, 43/50 top earners play Dota 2.
Fly's mistake wasn't leaving OG, his mistake was failing to believe in the friendship. The belief of OG in eachother is what gave them the extra they needed when it counted and WOW did it count. Best story to show never give up on your mates.
To be fair, Fly know that he had to leave for the better version of OG lmao. If Fly stay, I don't think there was a chance for OG anime storyline
@@luthazk fly didn't know that lol it just happened
@@jamesj7072 that's just a mythical story that I build up, but Fly's leaving is the key for OG's Aegis for sure.
We can actually put even more anime perspective into this: EG was the enemy where you got your revenge,but the true boss of TI8 was PSG.LGD,the chinese team who was 2-0ing everyone in the main event,and seemed unstoppable. Only OG defeated LGD in the main event: an 2-1 in the upper's finals,and an 3-2 in the grand finals with everything that an anime final battle between the protagonist and the boss could have: -a good and hopeful start for the protagonist(game one) -the boss starts to crush the protagonist with ease and make it seems that all hope is gone(games 2 and 3) -the protagonist gets a surge in power level and manages to even the odds somehow(game 4) -the boss starts to crush him again until the protagonist surges in power level again and finally wins the battle for good.
And the final game where they used their best heroes(didn't matter what LGD picked) to finish the series and overcome all the odds.
Yep ti8 basically an anime great tournament arc made manifest
@@gilberttumulak6781 It's astounding how anime like this entire run was
gotta say PSG.LGD is one of the strongest teams out there, too bad they got separated

"Dota have given me everything. ...It's also taking a lot from me" Also, come to think of it, I never realized how much shit Notail is in when OG breaks up, forgetting that he used to play carry for a while. Sure he won four majors with his team, but there's always the talk that Notail was the weak link of the team. Even in his original support role I don't think he's ever known to be an exceptionally good support like Jerax other then the fact that Notail got crazy micro skills. If OG didn't win TI8, it actually might be the end for Notail. That's why his cinderella story is the most anime thing ever to have happened in real life.
Man I nearby cried reading those words
He was always a specialist. In his early support days he was known for his micro heroes (in times when very few players actually had exceptional micro) and that translated to his carry, he specialized in illusion heroes but also played a sacrificial role for his mid. He was the "new" Fear or Loda, carries who weren't always top net worth but made sure their teammate was.
I really remember when Fly and S4 leaving. You know who's hated at that time? Notail. People called him finished player, "what can he do without fly?", "fly is the backbone of the team" etc. It seems silly now, but back then, the hate is on Notail. Go check OG's facebook post about fly and s4 leaving, look at the comment section. I really happy for Notail that he's came out on top. Life work in a mysterious ways. Now Notail is on the Dota hall of fame and nearly everybody says fly is a traitor, and deservedly so.
@@FerdinandRCJ As an OG fan since its inception, it's kinda sad that Fly's legacy for now is the guy that abandoned OG before they won TI. S4 already has his legacy with the million dollar dream carl. While I don't want EG to see success (obviously, I want OG to win as a fan), I kinda wish we see the day where Fly is remembered for being a 4 time major winning captain (+ maybe something else), not the "traitor".
@@regorf agree with you. I've been a fans of og since the first time i knew dota competitive scene (2016). Until now, i still see Fly as one of the best pos 5 Dota ever have. But he can't avoid the consequences being called traitor after what he's done. Kinda reminded me of Luis Figo. He's one of the best player football ever seen but many people called him traitor because he's moved to a rival team.
I still remember predicting OG will win on my compedium for ti8 and my friends laughing. I have a simple rule, every since notail was in Fnatic, I want him to win so I believed in him.
Miss fnatic
I had that prediction too both for TI8 and TI9! :D
I remember that feeling too well. Guess who won a ton of shit and lost “friends” after ti8
I've heard of DOTA never followed it tho, this video popped up on my screen because i love OVERWATCH COD and all that, after a video on notail i went and searched up this and fell in love in who OG is and what they stand for, the relentless journey and the perseverance that notail has and the discipline is unmatched. I will now turn my sight on to DOTA follow it and cheer for OG. MUCH love from MEXICO.
N0tail being so underrated, and deevaluated, and then not just showing up but building the strongest, most consistent mega team with himself as the glue that makes it all work goes to show you why fans shouldn't bring you down. What a legend, what a hero. Fly deserved to watch his former best friend's greatest triumphs, seeing exactly what he could have achieved had he not been such a weak character. Consider this, the person holding the team back was in fact Fly because he didn't actually believe in the values he preached, a fraud and a liar to himself, and everyone else. Thanks N0tail for staying true to yourself. 🌻
just rewatching TI8 truesight and redbull vid of OG earlier and this pop up. WTF? this is amazing!
Finally the BIGDADDY in "The Story Of" theScore esports.
22:34 ana's reaction was like "okay? that was easy"
After seeing the open and closed EU qualifiers for TI8, I told my friend that OG is going to surprise a lot of people... and what a ride it has been.
Whenever they let Dimitri loose to do his thing on Dota you know it’s gonna be good.
The OG series is finally complete. Best was saved for last!
Good observation
Now just wait for their 3rd TI (finger cross) and they need to make one whole series again about how crazy this team
@@paperz6580 nahh i'm satisfied after seeing win two. there's just keeping up what they have today
OG: Orangutan Ganja No one: Literally no one: Caesar: “Apes together strong.”
Dude we call OG monkey business back then lmao so that s make sense...anyway
“I wanna win” -fly, not winning
Olympic gays
This is so wholesome and really just clarifies the pictur I've always had of Johan. I'll give you a small but sweet story. I grew up and live in Jönköping. Me and my friends were all aspiring (but bad) HoN players and had seats for many consecutive Dreamhacks around 2008-2013. HoN was really the first e-sport which caught me and my friends attention and we always took every chance we could to see the tournaments at Dreamhack. Because of their dominance and fun antics, I grew very fond of fnatic and followed them throughout many online tournaments. When they returned to Dreamhack, I believe this was 2012, I felt like this super dedicated fan and went to see all of fnatics matches during the event. In a brave moment I also added Johan as a friend on Facebook, you know, like you do when you are a young teenager and really look up to someone. I also remember me and my friends cheering them on to their victory in the grand final and it really felt like when your soccer team wins the cup or something. High on this feeling I decided to write a paper in high school on e-sports and for this I wanted a pro to answer some questions on what it was like to make a living out of playing games. I collected some courage and wrote to Johan on Facebook. I don't remember which questions I asked but I'm sure they were pretty silly and not very interesting at all. To me this was more of an opportunity to interact with my idol. BUT. Johan responded in the most polite manner and in a way that made me feel seen and appreciated. I was so proud of this and this made me pour my heart into this paper. To then see Johan continue his career in e-sports and reach heights which not many have done has been so heart warming. He really is a great guy and I remember that he always took time for chatting, joking and taking pictures when you spotted him at Dreamhack. To me Johan is two things; a fierce and ultra talented competitor but he is also like so many of us - your friend next door who grew up enjoying games. Johan, if you see this. Thanks for the quotes to the paper and you are perfect. Just f*cking perfect!
Wow now it's complete the OG players' story. Thank you theScore Esports ❤️
Holy lord I cried like three times watching this video! Even though I don‘t watch nor play Dota, I learnt to love n0tail as a genuine and lovely person! I‘d love to go get a drink with him once.
I love dota and watching your dota 2 videos, please make more!
OG made TI9 amazing. I don't even play dota2, but was watching in and cheering for them :)
I've been in a position where I've wanted to win a game (different sport) for myself, but ESPECIALLY for my captain, who lived and breathed for our sport and our team, and I can see a lot of the same qualities as my captain had in Johan. He motivates his team so well 🌻
I kinda felt how notail feels when you lose your best buddy when playing together. Me and buddy used to play HoN together way back 2009 then he introduce me to dota 2 and in an instant, i was hooked. We played since 2010, unfortunately he need to quit for some reason. We both need to get a job, get matured. I still continue playing until this day... but now, in a solo queue. Ahh, those good old days with your buddy. Those trashtalking scenarios, those laughter with old friends on pub matches. Now is a thing of a past, but i am proud to say that even if i get older. I would tell my children and grandsons what an awesome childhood i had. Memories may be forgotten, but the passion stays forever. Thanks dota... i'll continue playing. 💯
A true legend, the definition of passion for the game
12:05 my face for 2 years in a row watching this 5 guys bring and play the most beautiful dota ver.
the narrative of this was really strong, you can really feel his perspective
Honestly Ceb is such a good player. Probably the best offlaner in recent times.
His axe offlane just went fucking bonkers lol
axe goes brrrrrr
He almost the reason why axe got nerfed. Just like jerax is the reason why earth spirit always get nerfed
@@peacechan4500 don't forget Ana's IO. Instaban!
And Ceb is doing so great as an offlaner by now. He really is the best.
I just got done with a 4am binge of ti9, ti8, and literally all of the score’s videos on ana jerax ceb and fly and notail as the two brothers. Wondering when they would make one about notail rising from the ashes of betrayal. AND IT DROPS TODAY, the one good thing about 2020 is this video.
lol literally the same, watching all specific videos about Ti 2018 and 2019 watching the vids of all the members for the first time (from thescore esport) aswell as watchin Red Bulls and valves documentary of Ti 2018 (which are really good and over an hour) and then being like. "hmm there is no video about n0tail beside the one about n0tail and Fly but that's more then 2 years from before Ti8" and literally 5 hours later the same day I search thescore esport and I see this thumnail I haven't seen before and there it is this video. Talk about timing. I still haven't even played dota 2 and barely watched anything specific about dota 2 beside 1 or 2 videos beside today and yesterday.
you forgot to mention topias
"The one who suffered more than anyone else " Me:weehaa!!
Poor weehaa always stuck in someone's drama
@@mrbrown7668 to be honest, if you see the true sight, it kinda makes it feel like weehaa did kinda went off the rails instead of playing with the team. I mean, the pressure sure did get to him. I hope Nigma also gets a sports psychologist like OG did so that they can have more control over their nerves when under stress.
@@ajuantony7927 Yeah, W33 is a great player, but he isn't as battle hardened as most top players. Especially in Liquid, he's the odd one out because the other 4 is already used to each other a lot. There's also the fact that he's really close to actually winning the aegis.
Me:arteeeeezy
Didn't seem like he was suffering when he doubted MK mid and tipped after single kills 🤷🏻♂️😂
Yeeeeeeeeeey! Finally, i've been waiting for this. Now the line up is complete. ♥
