Defense of the Ancients, what an unbelievable match that was. The Defense of the Ancients. What an unbelievable. I mean, it was so much and so interesting and so vicious and horrible and so beautiful in so many different ways. It, it represented such a big portion of the success of Valve. Defense of the Ancients, wow. I go to Defense of the Ancients, Dota, to look and to watch. And, uh, the statement of Terr R. Blade, who's no longer in favor. Did you ever notice that? No longer in favor. "Never fight uphill, me boys. Never fight uphill." They were fighting uphill. He said, "Wow, that was a big mistake." He lost is great mid. And, uh, they were fighting.  "Never fight uphill, me boys!" But it was too late.
