An era has come to a close; we now live in a world without Alliance, a team that has helped define western Dota 2. But if you were to strip away the success, the dominance, and the personalities of Alliance, and hunt for a single moment that encapsulate the storied organization’s history, you’d probably end up with the Million Dollar Dream Coil,” the play that, in popular memory, secured Alliance’s victory over Natus Vincere in the grand finals of The International 3. It rightly belongs in a pantheon of famous plays—e.g. The Hand of God, The Shot Heard ‘Round The World, The Helmet Catch, etc.—across all sports that define their respective games, played at their absolute best. The magnitude and significance of these plays defies measurement.
