Deep in the passage on the left side of the stage in the final arena on the screen, a group walked out of the smoke created by dry ice.

Beginning with the official cameraman with a shoulder-mounted camera, he stood in front of the players and coaches and stepped forward, trying to capture the team's full demeanor and movements as they approached the field. The results are not just used in the live stream, but after the Ti World Invitational is over, the footage will be edited into a documentary about the champions' journey to victory.

Showing up in this documentary is something that all AotD players aspire to, except for the runners-up of that tournament.

"Ah, Barcelona was the first to enter...... Well, the full name is there, FCB. LeBaiShi, both before and after the sponsor's title. ”

At this point, it is unexpectedly not much different from the team that the girl originally remembered.

"The No. 1 position is Carry, the eldest brother RaiN, who is only 21 years old this year, is the first domestic Carry."

also has an inexplicable relationship with the original world line of self - RaiN, whom Lu Xinlei knew, used to be his fan, and he also fell in love with this spiritual genius boy, and strongly recommended him to come to his club for a tryout, but RaiN, who focused on his studies, temporarily refused the invitation, and RaiN, who was about to go to the appointment after the end of the college entrance examination retreat, did not know that the man's club had been disbanded, and at first he thought it was a man who released the pigeon without believing his words. In a fit of rage, he switched to the LBS team, which did not have a Barcelona title at the time. Later, the two met in the Ti arena, and even if the misunderstanding had been resolved, RaiN did not spare the slightest hand and eliminated the men's team with his own hands.

"The No. 2 middle unit, also Carry, PossiBle, generally referred to as PB, can be crowned P emperor by winning the final today - ah, yes, only the player who has raised the holy shield, that is, won the Ti championship, is eligible to be the emperor."

The girl's cheeks were slightly hot—just because she was once called the Uncrowned Emperor, and she didn't even have the first three words, but now this title is too unbelievable.

As for this PossiBle, she is also familiar, and can even be said to be eager, of course, it is the desire of a carry player to be a good midlaner, Possible debuted in the middle of that man's career, and has been the teammate that man longed for after a little fame.

"The third position, the pressure resistance position of the disadvantaged road, Blade, Sword Boy, or no big or small, you can call it Sword Pig, but after today, it is estimated that you will have to change your name to Sword Emperor."

A player who is the same as the original world line, the game is also very distinctive, and his style as the No. 3 position is very iconic: what is the food? , squeezed out of blood and milk. It's rare to see Blade take up a lot of team resources, but it's also rare to see him completely unable to play a team role, and the economic conversion ratio is incredibly high, playing the most critical role in the tactical chain of FCB.LBS.

"The fourth position, our BadSmile, Bad-god, shows off to the numb scalp of the wandering position, and the evaluation in the circle is that he is only a little less stable than God A, but he is more agile."

is also a player who has some complicated relationships with himself in the original world line, who were originally in the same CRG team and were once called "Emperor and Prince" because of the same surname, although at first it was just his own fans who made trouble, but with the acquiescence of the club's official, admitting and even promoting this statement, his relationship with himself once fell to a freezing point. So much so that BadSmile's final departure from the Conqueror has a lot to do with it.

But Lu Xinlei began to have a trace of doubts, until now, the personnel of this FCB.LBS team are exactly the same as she remembers, but the current LBS is like a mountain made of sharp swords, and the steady and fierce style is by no means what she can have in her impression, can it be said that the exact same lineup can have such a huge change just by changing the environment?

Subsequently, the makeup photo of the fifth contestant appeared.

"Our No. 5 position, the heart of the team, the real captain of LBS."

“…… Well. ”

What appeared on the screen was her completely unimpressed face, it was a stout young man who looked like he had good facial features and quite experienced, and his shiny and endless bald head made her feel a little dramatic.

"The game ID is called Paragate, and we usually call him Brother Para or Brother Gate, but he seems to have said that the origin of this ID is quite complicated, and it is recommended that we read it all. He's also a veteran.,In the early years, he was brought out by God A.,Previously called Gemini with God A.,You can play anywhere.,I don't know why I've flown solo in recent years.,But the relationship with God A looks pretty good.。 ”

Oh, that's fine.

Since he is a character discovered or cultivated by Lang Guangnan in this world, it is natural that he has no impression.

But it seems that Lang Guangnan is a lot more powerful than his former self, the memories of the man in the girl's thinking criticized herself, although he used to be a respected player, but to be honest, there are not a few teammates who were stupid by themselves, after leaving their bodies, the man who thinks calmly does admit that his competition style is not like a handsome talent, but more suitable as a thug.

So it was fundamentally wrong back then.

In the eyes of others, this porcelain doll-like delicate girl stared at the screen and sighed for no reason, as for the reason, only she herself knows.

Key Arena, Seattle, USA. August 25, 2018, 17:23 p.m. local time.

FCB. The five players of the LBS team sat down in front of the five computers lined up in the battle room, and their coaches, wearing caps and suits, were asked to leave the venue after giving their last words at the door of the room. Later, after confirming that all the people involved in the match had entered the battle room, the staff closed the door to the soundproof room.

As a result, the world seemed to fall silent, even though there were still earth-shattering shouts and cheers in the stadium outside the door.

The enthusiasm of the Chinese AotD audience has never been tested, and no one has ever dared to doubt that this game, which has been competing with the rest of the world's professional circles for nearly a decade, has an unimaginable player base in China.

This can also be seen in the current stadium, which is half a world away from their hometown, waving the red flag of FCB.LBS and representing the CAPTiAL regional league, and chanting "LBS" spectators have even taken up most of the stands - although there are also their European opponents PoS who are almost at the end of their rope, and PoS fans have some reasons for being weak, but from the perspective of the five players in the room, The red battle flag of their own club fluttering in the stands of the Key Stadium is indeed a fact in front of you.

After getting the referee on the field, "Just do a little warm-up and get ready to start the game, boys." After the gesture, they all subconsciously raised their heads, and their eyes were dyed the same color by the flying flags.

Only one last step is missing.

Paragate——FCB. The LBS youth captain looked to the center of the field, the center of the two Finals teams, where the champion's shield, representing the season's highest honor and the largest prize pool, was lying on a stone platform without any decoration, waiting for the five young men to lift it as if it were their own dreams.

Born in 1992, he is 26 years old and is almost in the final years of his career in the AotD program, which requires high-intensity competition. Like Ackx, that is, Lang Guangnan, who is close to 30 years old, "advanced age" still maintains a very high competitive condition, and there are not many players in the world who have fought in the first-team lineup several times.

This one may be the closest he has to the few opportunities he has left.

The young man stretched out his big hand and scratched his bald head, closed his eyes and silently recited the Heart Sutra mantra, his match ID was actually from one of the verses of this mantra, and when he chose this ID, he hoped that the calm attitude contained in this mantra would calm him down at a critical moment.

Excessive agitation can cause both mental and physical objective stress, and it is important to keep the mood fluctuating within the normal range no matter what. The man who led him into Dota's esports gate has been told to him by the man he regards as his brother, and this advice is still held up by him to this day.

"It's better to beat us up." BadSmile, who is also the second BP player, looked at the thick stack of printer paper in his hand - there is the BP situation and key data analysis of their opponents from the qualifiers to every open match today, and the heroes who need to be valued in each position are clearly listed in the attached table, even if they do not appear on the field, but according to the player's previous games, and even the experience of the passerby bureau may be taken out of the side tricks are also included.

It's complete respect for the opponent.

"Ban's words, just ban those heroes who have been said a long time ago and can't be released, have some respect, as for pick......" Captain Paragate's gaze swept over every member of the team around him, and finally stayed on his screen.

He put his body into the back of the gaming chair, let out a long breath, and began a monologue that seemed a little out of place at first glance: "As an outsider who only joined last year, you chose to believe me, and you can still listen to my tactical arrangements, and treat me as a real captain, I thank you." ”

"This is our greatest victory yet, and you can choose what you want to use – and I'll give you what you want."

"Now, get into the game and beat them up until you cry the way you like best." The big man sitting in the captain's seat used his inexplicable southern accent to make the only pre-game mobilization of this game word by word:

"I believe in you, you don't need anyone to say anything, you are the most professional esports player on the planet, and now all you have to do is win, and if you win this game, you will continue to win."

————————————————

That being said, no one would joke with the multi-million dollar prize money of the Ti2018 championship.

The PoS team, which no longer had any room to prepare for the killing, sacrificed an alchemist system to help them fight their way out of the European area, and as a response, FCB. LBS also steadily grabbed the version of the popular support pokemon, thus coming up with the sharpest elf aircraft lineup in their arsenal.

Nothing unexpected or off-the-beaten, with both sides tacitly building their own systems while limiting the other's overly good points, and the end result was a dignified battle of the year.

The club room of the Youyan Club of Tongcheng University, which is thousands of miles away, was also infected by the solemn atmosphere of "the final battle has finally come", and the discussions that were still going on and on when the two teams were Ban&Pick were also almost silent, these boys didn't even dare to make physical movements, except for the screen that flashed the game screen and the echoing commentary voice, the only thing in this classroom that could make people realize that time was passing was their breathing that gradually became heavy as the game progressed.

"It's fast, it's fast, steady, don't panic, you must be steady."

There is no need to actually confirm their thoughts, just a glance at their whitened knuckles to understand the expectation in their hearts, and the tension of the same weight as this expectation - the current situation is not reassuring, the alchemist's passive skills allow him to get an additional high gold reward from every unit that can get a bounty, so the hero's period of economic strength came very early, and due to the constant harassment of the alchemist who has been basically equipped by the opponent, FCB. The three, four, five, and three players of the LBS team have collapsed financially to a dangerous point.

In contrast, the situation of LBS seems to be precarious, but the part of the audience that has a deeper understanding of the game actually doesn't fully believe the situation shown by the data: the price of the alchemist's heroic equipment is extremely rapid is the lack of growth in the later stage, he is a hero who can take nearly 30,000 economic swords to the high ground when the opponent's total assets have just reached 14,000 gold coins, but he does not have the ability to look at the whole audience with the total assets of 30,000 gold coins- In fact, many core heroes can do - the ability. Two and a half of his four skills are designed for faster development, which means he has a disadvantage of two or three skills in the late stage when both carry's economies are saturated.

In this game, the gap is the two skills of anti-aircraft artillery and rocket barrage of the LBS team's No. 1 dwarf helicopter.

The game time came to 29 minutes, and although there was still no emergency on the high ground of LBS, PoS, who led the team to gradually eat away at the LBS team's vision, had turned his attention to the last outer tower hanging outside the lonely height. This last outer tower must be defended, this is the common idea of everyone inside and outside the field, if this tower, which is the fulcrum of the last vision outside the highlands, is broken, then the LBS team that does not dare to leave the highlands will face the fate of slow death, and the turnaround is even more on paper.

The Alchemist turns on his ultimate to increase attack speed and health regeneration, making his demolition action faster, and the tower's poor health does not support such a ravage, LBS activates Tower Protection before its last bit of health is emptied: a team command with a five-minute CD can make all of your towers, buildings, and creeps immune to any damage, and all towers except the first tower in each lane can attack five targets at the same time for the tower's protection time.

The duration is 6 seconds.

Generally speaking, such a strategic resource is to be reserved for more urgent use, and to consume it on a defense tower that is almost defenseless, except for the beginning of infighting in an unstable mentality, it can only be-

It's time for a counteroffensive.

Half a map away in the field shop, dwarven helicopters and elves await their moment. The elf's ultimate can teleport an allied hero to any location on the map after a short delay, so BadSmile and RaiN, the elf's first player, can move on the other side of the map without the battlefield, and the presence of this ability will allow them to rush to the battlefield immediately when they are really needed to participate in the battle.

And now they are hesitating.
