The International 2023: Opening Ceremony 

I cry watching this. Idk why but it reminds me to good old days playing dota with friends, all day all night.

0:10 The New Frontiers Update 0:20 Startup 1 (Dota 2 Main Theme) 0:47 Aghanim's Labyrinth - 'The Continuum Conundrum' 1:01 World Map (Dota 2 Source 1 Tutorial) 1:58 Caravan - Artifact OST | Crownfall Music Pack Battle 3 (I am a doggie meme) 2:16 Startup 4 (Dota 2 Reborn Main Theme) 3:46 Main Menu 1 (Vocal) 5:50 TI12 Opening Ceremony OST 8:07 Arcana sound effect 8:40 Countdown 9:55 Startup 1 (Dota 2 Main Theme)

i got goosebump every year to TI opening

3:52 the angelic voice and memories of that theme song ... might be a small prize pool but TI is TI

I think it's an understatement to say I was amazed by this epic buildup. Thanks to the crew that put this in place for the game we love so much❤

A SHOW FROM HEAVEN!

What a gorgeous opening ceremony holy moly! This AR with real arena is insane!

Classic The International opening. Holy shit they nailed it!

2:17 Original Dota2 Theme is awesome

There were several Artifact soundtracks included, right? The music to the game was phenomenal, so I'm glad to hear it again. Well done!

Gaben! Valve! Whoever reads this that works at Valve, please, PLEASE! Add this music as an actual item we can use and listen to!! I really enjoy opera-like music and I've collected as much of them possible in Dota 2 (almost every TI, probably missed 1 or 2) and I want this one as well if we can have it :) Don't really care of cosmetics because I have enough cool sets already, but this opening ceremony song, its very nice to listen to while playing.

Goosebumps! I love DOTA forever!. Thank you valve and to the rest of the organizers!

Nice effort Valve and Congrats Gaben. It was a lovely opening

This year's opening is magnificent and gorgeous

2:16 made me burst in tears and the angelic voice at 3:52 , dota will forever have a place in my heart. I hope this game will never die. Please people and gamers, I know we are now old and have our own battles in real life, but please, if you have time, recall and bring back the memories. Let's have some dota...

No music pack? Would love to have this when opening Dota for this year....

Goosebumps! no longer have a time to play dota2 anymore, but still active watching all tournaments. Good old days boizsz, that BGM and GabeN intro

I can only imagine what it would feel like to witness all of this in person... Hauntingly beautiful.

SUCH A WONDERFUL OPENING FOR TI 12 WELLDONE !!!

So glad I got to watch this live in Seattle! Thanks for the amazing tournament this year!

They make incredible opening performances every year. Thank you for the effort Valve!

Please we need that orchestra version, studio quality.

A big proof that this is the best game ever exist!

the openig.... it gives me goosebumps. congrats gaben. and team. for the concept..

I miss playing Dota and TI, dude! I wanna play again.

NO other E-sports can be bigger than DOTA 2 TI.

This is the best way ever for any game to have any kind of opening or soundtrack. Classical music blends so freaking good in a lot of games. Thank you for this amazing performance!

Big ups to Myreze for the cinematic and all the graphics created for the live event including the phenomenal virtual cathedral backdrop! It was an honour to be a part of it 💙
