The International is the crown jewel of Valve’s esports empire. And every year, millions of people tune in to watch the best Dota 2 teams in the world fight over Gaben’s pocket change.
The ambitions are high – but the stakes are even higher.
And despite all of its prestige, all the attention it brings, and the level of responsibility it entails – Valve left a lot of it in the hands of this guy.

What's your favourite SirActionSlacks moment/skit?
slacks is such a gift to the community. I used to think he was unprofessional or cringey but now looking back at it, I wouldn't change him for anything. We love you Slacks!
I don't play dota, but is this guy to dota as tyler1 is to league? (minus the toxicity)
The pocket chane term seems misleading as more than 90% of prize pool money comes from player purchases in game. Valve only contributes a million from their side.
The Lord of Cringe
Kaci is there to moderate him during TI
Please no more TI9 deadcrowd repetition
SirActionSlacks has the mind of Invoker and the body of Ogre Magi
RIP TI10
– Sincerly, CoronaVirus
"fighting about Gaben's pocket change." lmfaoo
I really hoped while watching this there would be included his emotional speech from TI6. It was one of the strongest moments of TIs. Anyway, thanks for great video as always.
Daaaaaaamn camera loves this guy! Wow! On a fkn macho mode I laughed so hard like in a days i didn't catch this nice feeling of stress relief
I really don't like him, a real pain in the ass
"its 2020 stop honking ass at events" LOL
Nice documentary. But you can make a better documentary with Dota 2.
Wanna know what makes Slacks the guy he is?He plays dota 2
