- What are the qualities that make a good leader?
Perseverance. Dedication. Intelligence. The will to be nothing less than the best. Kuro “KuroKy” Salehi Takhasomi has all of these qualities and more.He dreamed of being the best, of hoisting the Aegis of Champions at The International. Not for money, not for glory, but for the thrill of competition, to satisfy his desire to lead a team to the top and win.
But there always seemed to be something missing, something not quite right: the timing, his confidence, his team.
He always had it in him, the potential to be a true leader, a great player, a TI champion. It just took some time to get there.
This is his story.

to study psychology in germany you have to get top grades in highschool, so you know this man is a genius
Wartesemester
Besides the fact he is a genius, good grades doesn’t always mean that someone is a genius .
1.5 ist jetzt nicht so schwer xD
چون ایرانیه.
because he's Iranian ))))
his "head" is the proof dude
I always get surprised at how damn GOOD those videos are. Like, hell, they're well edited and just perfectly made. I always try to bring my friends to this channel, even if it doesn't have that much DOTA content, because it's so good. Keep doing the good work.
Passion
Thank you, friend. Those were some very kind words. It's what keeps us going.
Stay cool brother, stay cool.

From 3 big esports game, Dota 2, CS:GO and LoL, I only play Dota 2. But I occasionally watch theScore's The Story of CS:GO and LoL too. I could grasp the majority of what's being explained in the video despite not having a lot of knowledge of what's happening on the pro scene of CS:GO and LoL.
PS: please make more Dota 2 video!
Kudos to narrator too. Such good voice.
can you guys do one on loda or ana, two players with a lot of history and content behind them that it wouldn't be hard to do!
I have to say, this video is well put and well made.
That Guy STFU noob
Foful Guzu how are you today,herald?
Unlike teams that Kuroky joins
Watching him win ti7 was really emotional. He was one of the old guards veterans, he was there since ti1 and after 7, seven years, he finally did it. And he was the first to whitewash the grand finals at that.
What a legend
@x _ x Did your EG team won TI 8? :) Toxic fan spotted
@x _ x i know this is old comment but hey now they got revenge kicked EG out of tournament 2-0 byebye rtzfangays lol
These eg fangays are ridiculous, rtchoke and sufail are absolute shits on ti's
@x _ x And they still defecated very respectfully on Arshitzy at TI9...keep mourning fantard.
@x _ x euw fangay spotted
Request granted. Thank you theScore esports. Worth watching, again! :)
Gamsu PH idol name please? For scientific research purposes
Gerson Mercado I'm not the person lol. i'm a guy. gtfo

- KuroKy
YOU REALLY REALLY DESERVE IT BOYS GOOD GAME WELL PLAYES BOSS KURO
Top notch quality! Great video as always!
it took seven years to become a ti champ and a captain of this level... what a level of patience
or he's just shitty
palmtrees bananapants
Tell em champ
What level of determination!
it's called perseverance?
GH *smiles in lebanese
GH is not that known in the early dota, but Liquid having GH really made them to win TI 7.
Best support I guess.
ya, every game of the last few series of ti, all enemy teams ban 2 of the 3. io es kotl in the first phase.
IKR.
Jerax is the best supp. GOAT
@@dennischc158 nah man gh made more clutch moments
Only Kuroky that capable to captaining 4 10K players. Crazy..
It's so much different to another capt who great in support but so weak as core and then trying to say this and that to their core about something he himself can't do.
but Kuroky, since he already prove he can be one amongts the best player in any role. even the childish Arteezy would lay low infront of him.
actually its 9k
and now ? they lost ezy again . still no ti for arteezy and eg failed
Fucking EG fantard can't even appreciate the greatness of one of living legend in dota
@x _ x 0 MAJOR FOR NA TILL 2019 OMEGALUL
Kuroky the most humble player. Thanks for the vid man. Hope they win Ti8
They lost
I'm not crying, you're crying!
I'm not crying! kuro's crying!!
Skadaddy Hahaha
Yeah.. he's crying! but I'm also crying watching him crying..
SKKAADDAAADDDYYYY
No i'm not lol but huhuhuhuhuhuh
Kuro my favorite player ... followed him since god knows how long... and tobi the best freaking caster...
i hate finals without him...
Been impressed by Kuroky since dota1 days.
Could remember that I dl replays of their games in gosugamers when available haha.
Very long journey, and glad he did it at last.
Generation of miracles!
So you're one of those old players. Damnn i watched all his replays back on the days.
what i admire and love about Kuro is passion and commitment. He left Secret with nth and build his own team with only skill and promise '5 jungz' ... and love how he controls his temper over the years.
why good captain ... he able to contain 4 players to not care about money but commit to the game even sumail admit this
it was so great when he brought jerax, matu, MC and GH. all i know they are new on esports before join TL.
@x _ x copy pasta just like bullcock chat
I am so respectful towards him!
You and Puppey are the best players ever personally for me!!!
its moment like this where you see a true man holding his tears defeat after defeat for a historical victory. kGod.
It's kinda amazing how Kuroky is part of the legendary series of Na`Vi vs Alliance (First series to reach game 5) and the first to Wipe 3-0 finals on TI (Liquid vs Newbee)
kuroky is truly a dota legend
yeaha
maybe that's how he learned to not think about winning
he had a useless carry bloke that blocked their TI3 winning (xboct) like RTZ, only skilled at a few heroes and needed 4 protect 1 strategy.
wao really touched specially the part where he said A new Squar to be filled with Gh and Miracle .... A big smile on my face
I started watching your series on Smash, and I got hooked. This is incredibly well-written and edited, big props to you!
Kuro the best eveeeeeer
Thank you theScore esports
I edited this comment so none of the replies will make sense
EvanZ What if i Tell you that He is right. Thinking about winning can Draw your Performance down
He is obviously saying that to them because his experience shows that even with a 0:2 it could lead to 3:2 because they were celebrating before they won the whole thing. We have a saying in my country, that says " Don't put the pan on the stove, before you caught the fish "
We have a saying too: "Don't light the spoon when you haven't met your dealer yet"
"OK sir"
-Miracle
"Dont Give a Fck"
- also him
It is always so inspiring, whenever these types of videos are made about successful people, to hear of their many failures. It reminds us how important persistence really is.
the Score esports back at it with quality documentary. Keep going at it!
I always thought that these videos were good...
I never imagined they could only get better and better. Would love to see you. Dont mind waiting if it means we get to see more of this quality :)
so inspirational
Maaf telat 3 tahun
Ngapain pex
still get goosebumps when the croud yells his name. Doesn't matter what team you cheer for, this is just a well deserved TI win. Everyone on that Liquid did an outstanding performance!
Epic captain! Hands down to this guy's diverse drafts!
Man i waited a long time for this vid :)! KUROKY
I've been so eager to make it. So glad I got to share it with you!
- Sean
theScore esports thanks Sean :)! #HERO
4 players have attended every TI: Puppey, Kuro, Universe, and DDC
Well deserved kuroky :) much love from 🇩🇪
One of my most favorite captains of all time! Mad respect for giving his prize money to his parents.
The quality of this video and the Narrating voice is perfect
Make more these types of videos. I very well enjoy each and every one of them.
Challenge accepted!
- Sean
i actually shed a tear without realizing . Good vid !
This is what I call good content, GJ, instant subscribe
Goosebumps.
matumbaman necro in ti7 is unstoppable
He deserves it. I felt the chill during the third game as the game was coming to an end. I was happy for him
great video thank you!
"They just run at us... what do we do against them?" - KuroKy 2019
I can sense some salt in there when he said that
One of the greatest of all time. IMO Kuroky, Puppey, s4, xiao8, and Universe are the most consistent and influential of all the pro players. Nothing against Miracle or GH of course, they're amazing players, but they haven't been in the scene for as long as someone like Kuroky. It's that commitment to the game for over a decade that really sets Kuroky apart from a lot of the young guns. I'm sure he has an obscene amount of information stored in his head, so that even if Icefrog completely changes the game with the next patch, Kuroky will know what to do, while it might take longer for the younger pros to adapt to changes in the game. It's that wide knowledge base, along with the versatility to play core and support, which have made Kuroky a relevant name in the DotA 2 professional scene for as long as the scene has existed.
vvav dont forget loda and burning.
Loda story of perseverance was like Kuroky but earlier. He was considered a legend in dota 1 b4 kuroky, facing downfall of career b4 kuroky and redeemed himself and his career in Ti3 and the whole session.
Alliance was the first team to really consistently destroy Chinese team also. After 2009 western dota was dominated by Chinese farmers, the likes of Zsmj “6 min one item”. Keep in mind at that time farming in dota 1 was much more difficult and slower than today. Kuroky was totally destroyed mid by Mushi and admited how outplayed he was and the West has no chance.
Loda also made big life commitment, went to China, learn, practice, etc... and as a result his Alliance in Ti3 era was dominating and well deserved. The first team to be able to get respected from Chinese team. Navi was not as dominant when competing against Chinese back then. Keep in mind in Ti1 there were little interest in dota 2 from chinese and they were still spend more time in dota 1 than dota 2
@@TuanLe-eb5yp Loda is the GOAT, he carried quite a few games with 500 last hits and his team feeding. Burning is a choke artist, never won any TI.
Even as a CS fan, I always watch these DOTA videos, they truly are amazing.
So humble and motivated. He deserves it!
16:35 "..Liquid picked up one of the hottest player in the scene...MIRACLE" Goosebumps!!ooohhhhh
Kuroky Boss
I love what you guys do, this is amazing content, as always doing a damn good job
watched it again today. @20:22 still gives me goosebumps. One of the best esports videos out there.
look at now, LIQUID and SECRET feelsgoodman
The story of GH pls.. thx
Nah, he's still new in a sense compared to some other deserving players. Give it a few years, and who knows how many legendary highlights he'll accumulate to show off. :)
Mitchell Holcomb ya.. how GH can come to liquid.. he is mid player in mmr, like a spam magnus
Ember Spirit GH plays Kotl A LOT, his sense as a support brought the attention of notail thus, led him to joining liquid.
Correction: it was matumbaman, my bad. just realized while i was in shower
not yet i think
Amazing Video great Job, LETS GO LIQUID
I love this channel. So much awesome work. Good job guys. 👍
@theSCORE esports y’all should do the story of admiralbulldog , as easy as he always says to win a ti but i truly wan to know how it all start :) btw good job on this video , it was beautifully done !
It starts with Jackie Lmao
Weiwei Lee 💋💋👩🏿🎤🙌🏻😜💀💀😂💃🏻😛🦑🦑🦃😉😛😉😛😛😛😛😉😉😉😛😛😉🎸🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🏅🎟🎹🎹🎟🎨🎟🎨🎳🎪🎪🎟🎟🎟🎪🎪🎨🎨🎨🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🚭‼️‼️♻️🛃🛃🛃🛃🛃🚾💠💠🚾💠🏧🌐🏧
?
Ian nah I think it started with dendi cuz he was the one that discovered bulldog
The story of GH? nahh there is no story lol. He just went from pub games to winning TI in a year ^^
You cannot win Ti on the first try , You are just human being not God :))
ririeiman it was gh first ti
he means the chinese girl who i think told moogy "Did u really expect to win your 1st TI"?
it means GH not a human being , he is God
@ririeiman That' what the Newbee officials told Moogy tho, after losing to liquid.
"Stop thinking about winning, focus on this game!" Words from the legend! :D
I almost cry just because see how strong kuroky is
Puppey love Dendi Was A Lie
Kuroky love Puppey Is Way Better..
SnatyGt still a better love story than twilight
But I ship kky and dendi
SnatyGt puppey want dendi out of navi
it seems to me that in general the skill level is very high at TI but that isn't what makes or brakes a winner because the top players are pretty much the same. confidence and team chemistry and a fair amount of luck is needed and i say luck because at this high skill level it's the little things and timings can make a huge difference in the outcome of a game. look at OG this year, they were probably ranked around the bottom from all the top teams and yet they managed to take the trophy when nobody really thought they had a chance. sometimes teams are just in the zone and if players can detach themselves from the pressure then things have a tendency to go their way. easier said than done but that's just my humble opinion
@p1t this is why regular roster changes isn't good for a team. Liquid is the best example, Kuroky never kicks out anyone from the team and the team becomes strong because their team chemistry has developed so much because of that.
this dude is cool af, has such a chill attitude towards the game
I cried when my goosebumps went on, navi loosing game 5 against alliance, this clip tore me apart
KuroKy is resilience in the sense that he is the only Dota player to survive years at Puppey's side without a scratch. Kappa
...studied psychology.
Welp, no wonder they had Newbee scratching their heads at TI7 Grand Finals!
what do you mean ?
im really interested in this topic.
rix xirox it was mentioned in the video that he studied psychology, thus explaining his brilliant exploitations at the TI7 run. You should watch the true sight episode where they feature TI7 to fully get what I mean. And I promise, it would be worth the watch!
Xenophobic Introvert I love how Liquid destroyed Newbie right from the drafting phase. Newbie was not prepared and it costed them the game.
Jade
Game 1? You mean the Hunting Season for Radiant couriers?
especially at Game 2, when kaka (I think) voiced his expression on how confusing the draft is, almost not knowing what's happening.
Xenophobic Introvert Yeah that really dropped their morale. They couldn't even focus on drafting in game 2, and 3 to an extent, because they're still kind of arguing about what happened on game 1. Really shows how well prepared Liquid is compared to Newbie.
They had the best drafts strategies and team. Well deserved win!
ALWAYS LOVE UR VIDEO BRO!!! HOPE THIS YEAR I CAN SEE NEW "THE STORY OF" OTHER DOTA'S PLAYER VIDEO. CANT WAIT
16:38 I like how you just casually ignore the Liquid roster that had Bulba. They were really struggling until Gh-god joined Liquid.
Hahaha i kinda surprised actually he didn't mention liquid early struggle after they first roster change (the miracle arrival). Miss boston major, struggling in any events with LULBA (actually idk who had idea to pick him up at the first place, he just playing decent only on oracle at the time in liquid the rest was garbage) then GH comes he like the savior for this team even earlier gh come its not instant become a dominant team they even struggle in epicenter although they win it but in TI this team was beast, gh start to showing up, kuroky outdrafting everyone, mind control and matumbaman very consistent and miracle- is miracle-. Lose to IG was really heartbreaking is like dejavu to miracle like his TI on OG but in LB they just killin it beat every strong team in LB (vp,secret,lfy,lgd) and sweep newbee 3-0 first time in history of TI
Miss the old Na'vi but it's okay they're getting back again thanks to rodjer a godly support
omg navi fans make me cringe alot fuck low mmr
Lmao navi fans still delusional after 5 years. Has navi won anything major since 2014? Kek
I love watching Rodjer play, but he's only a truly godly support if he gets his Enchantress. Teams have figured out that you just have to ban Enchantress against Navi or else you regret it. It's like banning NP against Bulldog. You just don't give him the hero that he will wreck your face with, or else he can and will wreck you, and then you'll probably ban that hero next game once you've learned your lesson.
NAVI is BLACK
SupaL33tKillar you don't understand what loyal is. Maybe because u don't love this game, u just like the winning prestige.
that omnislash of Miracle save Team Liquid. Miracle complete the missing puzzle of Kuroky's journey
Brilliant video guys !!! Uplifting and gives goosebumps .
Did they purposely avoid mentioning bulba because they sucked so much when bulba was with them?
MORE LIKE LULBA
Lulba not even mentioned xd
Arief Rahman LMFAO exactly what I thought when gh was brought up
Capt?
ROFL
Brylyant Danels Anakottapary bulba play for liquid before got replaced with gh but in this video they just mentioned fata and jerax was replaced with miracle- and gh
Thanks all
Kuroky deserves the championship
Best story ever, kuro will go down as a legend!
You can actually see Kuroky balding throughout this video. Question is, is it natural? Or from anger due to repeated failures? Will he have more hair this TI? Stay tuned, to find out.
its like one punch man main character, train harder n harder become strong n bald Kappa
RIP LULBA
SkrrSkrr Masta Bulba was the masterpiece to win Ti7. Without him Liquid wont get GH, KAPPA 123
Capt?
before Gh joined team liquid, bulba filled the spot as support. They keep losing until Gh was called as a Standin. It worked out and the Bulba left the team (or kicked? i leave it to your imagination)
Matum said they kicked bulba for reason, see matum interview at TI7
Thankss all
I love every video you guys have made. Well done
The best part about watching all your videos is that I find myself rooting for all of your featured players and their teams. Like, last video I was rooting for Alliance v. NaVi, and this time NaVi over Alliance.
Miss the hair
*kuroky fountain dives*
*Yamete Kudasai*
OMAE WA MOU SHINDERU
Renzo Cabildo Nani??
thanks for making this video , this is very good ! thumbs up from me
Chills everytime Kuro says "stop thinking about winning"
The Story of TI6 Wings please.
Gh is just to fill in the puzzle for liquid lmao
Kuro is awesome :) would love to see them going back to win for a second time! Gl @ ti8 Liquid
Such a gentlemen, kuro gave all the winnings from TI3 to his parents. Respect!
34:13 Ceb is like the proud father of five highly worthy kids :)
Miracle- on GGNet's team on TI1 Scoreboard?! Shouldn't it be Mirakel, did they recreate it and get the identity wrong?
slatefx thats another and it spell meracle
Muiz Aziz nope, that guy was miracle, a swedish dota player, one of the best support players in europe at that time. He went by either mirakel or miracle.
+Gro Batard yeah but the dash after is how amer styles it, just weird how its identical
slatefx i see what you mean now. That's the original scoreboard. It hasn't been edited, in fact it's from a vod of the live game.
Yeah I just checked the VOD and it is Miracle-, Amer must have copied it then haha
Great Video man! Keep up the good work guys!!
没办法怀疑kuroky这么多年以来的坚持以及付出的精神，但是他也经过长久的坚持得到了荣誉，很欣赏kuroky这样的坚持风格
Kuroky No Dota
4:40 Miracle- TI1?
no, theres 3 miracle named players before miracle player you know today
oh i see, i only knew singapore's meracle and liquid's. ty buddy
fake meracle LUL
Meracle, Miracle and Miracle- :P
Aiman Farhan this is Miracle from Sweden, former of legend Ks.int with Ppy, kky
" this time we gonna rewrite history " you sure did kuroky. you sure did
One of the players I really like.
Good player, good captain, very humble in my opinion... just a likeable guy in my book.
Lol rtz blame kuro while he always be a memes god 😂😂
Fly and Notail didn't "leave" Secret...they were kicked cause Puppey wanted Arteezy, and Artour said he'd only join if Zai also joins...get your facts right man...come on
Fly was kicked and replace by misery after that misery was the only one whos going to get replace by Rtz but Rtz dont want to play without Zai so they kicked both misery and notail..then the rest is history
Artour and Arteez are same people fyi 🙃
Hahahaha!!!
Get your facts right.
Not only that. They also said Kuroky joined puppeys new project "team secret".
The original team "Secret" was actually Kuroky and N0tails project. Kuroky inviting puppey and N0tail inviting fly.
Puppey however founded the organisation after.
Now kuro is a straight up TI champion and TI finalist and consecutive top 4 placer in all tournas. Wish this man can lift more aegis
Love this videos! I havent played dota since 2015 but cant stop watching.
When I watch dota, I don't know what the fuck goes on sometimes
+Rob McCallister it's not messy, you just can't understand fully the symphony of skills like a orchestra playing magnificent music
LoL is more skilled, hold my beer ... hahahahahahahaha ... alright thanks
Rob McCallister What funny joke. Hahaha. Simple minds will not understand the beauty of a great game.
Jesus man I just wanted to know what goes on in dota
Patrice akayi I think most the comments are replying to the guy saying the game is messy and ugly.
It's not about the money.... 3.6MILLION
Ahh this gives me satisfaction. Hope they do well in upcoming tournaments (speaking about Matu as well, obviously)
17:33 dude putting the VIOLENCE,SPEED and MOMENTUM as a music on this part is pure PERFECTION!
