      IIRC it's a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where they meet an enchanter. He seems very powerful and eloquent, and already knows the king's name and his quest. When asked by what name is he known, he replies "There are some who call me... Tim" which is funny, because it is quite short and unexpected.
      Invoker has a similar voice line, "Throughout the aeons I have been known by many names... but my true name of power... is Carl."

    The video is awesome! However, for posterity, I'd like to point out that the Invoker we all know and love/hate today is a simplification of its original version in DotA 1. At 6.02, that single hero had 31 spells - no, you read right , thirty one spells. Quas Wex Exort was not the same as Exort Quas Wex. Imagine the gymnastics to use such a hero...

      As far as I know, that was his name, yes.
      But while the copyrights might have been an issue, the real reason why he is called Carl now might be that one day there were fake patch notes in Chinese. Someone Google translated these patch notes into English and it showed his name as "Carl."
      So for dota 2 they just made this his new official name.

    Oh boy am I looking forward to the final video with how your talk about it, but I am also saddened by the completion of this channel being on the horizon since it has been an enjoyable ride.
    Interesting to see how Invoker changed over the years, but really funny to hear his name is Carl.
    I also find it pretty amazing he is so famous and powerful since he knows at least 10 spells, but it is really interesting since every other hero in Dota have so few spells, and most wouldn't be spells but racial/technological abilities taken to an extreme. I like how the world of Dota stays consistent with itself so well over so many years.

    38:22 I thought my computer was lagging. weird animation glitch.

    the reason 6.86f dropped was because you can nuke any pos 1/2 with bkb in late game, especially in lvl 22 (having aghs back then grants you +1 on all orbs, getting the aoe def blast early).
    vurtune's combo is a good example of this. blink in to enemy, def blast, meteor, sunstrike, refresher, def blast, sunstrike (if it's a very tanky core, alacrity on urself for extra hits).
    of course, this only works in pubs, and also this combo is a high risk, high reward, and you have to perfectly execute your combo, or you will waste your refresher in the next teamfight.
    personally, i would love def blast to have a mini stun to mainly cancel out channeling spells, but not the knockback stun.

    It may be the last video you're prepping for this channel but I hope not the last idea you, people, have in minds. Dota community is big and you always can do something easier to produce but still entertaining for people

    OK. So this is the last 'Regular' video. Which could mean there would be special videos for certain heroes in the near future. Hope Faceless Void is covered in it, would be an utter shame if not.

    Arguably the most complex moba character ever. I dont care whatever champs from lol or other moba will say. Invoker is definitely the most complex so far
