In all fairness, Shadow Fiend is not, he is by no means a weak line hero, and after using his cheap direct damage skills to mix to a certain level, Shadow Fiend can not only stably use the high attack power provided by the passive to make up for it in the middle lane, but also use the combo effect of high-level shadow pressure to consume and even try to kill the opposing hero.

In the case of the fire cat, Shadow Fiend is not an unconventional choice, and it is not even necessary to take it out to a certain extent, but-

The captain looked at Shin's expression, and for a moment hesitated whether he should give this ethereal hero who seemed to have an unbalanced mentality to this young man who might collapse to the end.

"Just do it."

Shin also saw the captain's hesitation: "This mid-lane fire cat, it's definitely no problem to order a shadow demon." ”

"There's no need to come out so early." After thinking about it again, the captain of the Tornado tornado team still decided to drag it first, "If this fire cat shakes to the side, the middle lane will point out a TA or something, and it will be difficult for the shadow demon to play." ”

"This fire cat must be in the middle of the walk, there is no other possibility."

Shin tapped on the keyboard with some impatience, but didn't have much objection to this decision, after all, they were on the Dire side, and BP naturally had the last hand counter, which itself was reserved for his mid laner hero.

There's no need to name your heroes early and put yourself on the passive side.

"Actually, it's not impossible to point out the shadow demon." The captain of the tornado pinched his chin, "But you have to make sure that nothing else happens in this round." ”

"Fight the team a little bit, right," Shin, who heard the captain's relief, also came to his senses, "No problem, you can give me a shadow demon, and I can play whatever I want." ”

"I hope so." The captain muttered quietly.

In order to restrain this nimble fire cat, although it is not clear which position he is in, it is necessary for Tornado to point out a strong grab point such as a legion commander.

And after the tornado took out the legion, the conqueror's fourth hand was a hero who still had room to sway - Magnus.

"This mammoth might be a little interesting."

"As far as I know, Elpueblo is going to play Magnus in the center, and the third and fourth positions of the conqueror can also take this mammoth."

"And the hero of the mammoth is also very compatible with the melee core that needs to be brushed up, except for being a little weak online, the functionality and team combat role are in place."

After the two sides once again replenished the heroes needed for their lineups, the captain of Tornado saw that the conqueror did not intend to let the fire cat swing to the side, and he got the shadow demon he had in mind for Shin at the last hand.

"This."

Faced with the shadow demon who appeared at the end of the Dire lineup, Lu Xinlei was not surprised—her reaction was not so much surprise as a sneer.

The rest of the Conquistador's team had no objection to their players' reaction, or in other words, they wanted to do the same.

Generally speaking, the Shadow Demon does have a certain advantage in the middle lane to the lane Fire Cat, if the Fire Cat does not shake people to the line, the shadow pressure of the Shadow Demon can easily break through the Fire Cat's fire cover - but, as netizens and gamers often hang on their lips: the barrage Fire Cat T hides everything and hits all mankind.

The first-level fire cover can only block one shot of the first-level shadow pressure, and the second-level fire cover will be broken by two shots of the same second-level shadow pressure, and the restraint relationship between these two skills directly leads to the initiative of this group of lanes, however, if the fire cat can use its shadowless fist and movement to dodge one or two shadow pressures, then for the shadow demon, this wave of fighting is not so ideal.

And this kind of operation, the operation of shadowless fist dodging shadow pressure, the audience present and the opponent's players may not know, but they know one thing very well:

In the team-building SOLO competition, this girl dodged more shadow pressure than she didn't dodge with the Shadowless Fist.

In the last game, the opposite line was Ping A weirdo Haska, and only the ultimate and heart inflammation in one of the skills can be avoided by the invincible state of the Shadow Fist, and even so, this girl still accurately dodged the instantaneous AOE heart flame to complete that single kill, this time facing a more elegant--more unguaranteed Shadow Demon, she has no reason to perform worse.

After the coach's final tactical briefing, the players on both sides chose their own heroes for the game, and the crowd in the Mercedes-Benz stadium seemed to feel the last pressure before the race, and the stadium was unusually quiet for two seconds.

"Okay, it's official."

The silence was broken by the commentary, and the ten heroes of each side appeared in their own springs, and the two teams that played the last game on the first day of the game had no chance of regretting their moves.

The two mid lanes without the pressure of the control charm each stay at the mid lane of both sides, and the mid lane barracks on the Radiant side requires some tricks to get the first wave of creeps out of the same side of the highland tower due to the collision size and creep logic.

And today, Lu Xinlei's luck was good, the first wave of minions came out of the other side of the tower perfectly, and the fire cat she handled could accurately delay the advance of each creep.

The Dire midlaner doesn't have this requirement, and the terrain of the Radiant and Dire mid heights isn't exactly axisymmetrical, and the subtle difference makes it unnecessary for the Dire midlaner to pay attention to this.

But even so, Shin's card slot to the first wave of creeps was perfectly suppressed by the opponent's fire cat.

"It doesn't matter."

This is also expected by Shin, although he was also carried away after the last game, but now that he is back in the game, he can still judge the strength of both sides more clearly:

The girl standing on the other side of herself, whether it is the accuracy of the operation or the speed of reaction, is the top of the Dota players I have ever seen.

But Dota is not a game that completely competes in operation, some heroes or equipment are even designed to prevent the operator from ignoring the economic advantage of the game - no ballistic and instantaneous, can transform the hero into a sheep knife for 2.5 seconds, although the cost is more expensive, but it is also instantaneous and ballistic, and comes with a big stun hammer that rushes and even ignores the magic immunity, and the existence of these equipment restricts those "operation monsters" to a certain extent to pull this game into an endless micro-manipulation black hole.

Although it has a fire shield that continuously deals area damage, the fire cat's spawning speed after having a certain level is still completely inferior to that of Shadow Fiend, and the shadow demon also occupies a complete initiative advantage in this group of lanes: if you want to fight, the fire cat can't fight; If you want to brush it, you can't brush it with a fire cat. Such a gap between lane heroes is not something that ordinary operations can make up.

The rest of the matter is very simple, just lay your own line.

Shin scratched his hair, and the melee soldier's question mark was a little glaring in his eyes, but it wasn't unbearable.

The first few levels are like this, the amount of blue of the Shadow Demon does not support him to use the shadow pressure to ensure that every replenishment knife, the 90 points of blue-consuming shadow pressure must be used to ensure the experience of ranged soldiers, counting the shadow pressure prepared for the fire shield that the fire cat may open at any time, it is not unacceptable to be repaired by a few melee soldiers now, as long as it ......

His brows furrowed, and the opponent's fire cat jumped to level 3 after casually making up for a melee soldier, and the opponent immediately chose to turn on the fire shield forward pressure.

What level of fire shield are there?

But that's not a problem.

Shin thought for half a second and found that this problem was not very important, whether it was a first-level or second-level fire shield, it could not resist the damage of two shadow pressure consecutive segments: it was a very simple four operations, the base damage of the first level of shadow pressure and two shots was 90 times 2, plus the 50 damage of the combo, it was just enough to break the 220 damage absorption of the second-level fire shield.

Then things are very simple, he turned his face to the fire cat facing the opponent, and prepared to press out the mid-range X-stage shadow pressure-

Then, as expected, he was dodged.

The commentary seat, who didn't pay attention to the middle lane, didn't know what was going on in the middle lane until the director noticed that the Shadow Demon blood in the middle lane was abnormally declining, and they began to notice this wave of battles.

"The third-level fire cat has lit a two-level fire shield and a first-level shadowless fist...... Wait, didn't she hide from a shadow just now? ”

The game's well-understood commentary found blind spots: "Shadow Fiend's ZX two cannons are on CD, but the fire cat's fire shield is not broken, and the amount of blood doesn't look like it was pressed by one shot." ”

After hearing such a question, the director also found a replay of the mid-lane battle situation ten seconds ago - it happened to be the key time for the fire cat to make up for a melee soldier and advance to level three.

"The fire cat goes to the third level first, and it has to come up to fight for a wave first, which is normal."

"The position of the Shadow Demon here is very smart, the target capture range of the first-level Shadowless Fist is very small, he knows that the opponent is likely to fight for the third-level grab, and he deliberately stands very scattered with the small soldiers."

"It's just the distance that won't be hit by a T, and it's also just right to interfere with the fire cat's possible upgrade."

"But—watch out!"

Shadow Fiend, as the party that took the initiative, confidently released his mid-stage shadow pressure, and the fire cat, Lu Xinlei, did not choose to use the Shadowless Fist to attack the other target with more lanes to gain a longer invincibility time, but chose to choose the target of the Shadowless Fist on the Shadow Demon.

An invincibility time of 0.35 seconds is theoretically sufficient for a shadow pressure judgment of only a few frames.

"That's too confident, isn't it?"

The two commentators on the commentary table shook their heads in unison after seeing what was happening: "Everyone knows that as long as you can use the Shadowless Fist to dodge the opponent's key skills, the fire cat can fight anyone very well, but how many can really dodge?" ”

This kind of operation seems a bit shocking, but the actual effect is also limited, the third-level fire cat is not a character who can successfully kill the opponent's single hero, the duration of the two-level fire shield is only 12 seconds, and the total damage of all burned is only 420, everything Lu Xinlei did in the end was just a consumption of the opponent's single shadow demon.

With the last few seconds of her fire shield still there, the girl decided to take it as soon as she saw it, and retreated with the remaining damage absorption of the fire shield - but her tactical goal had already been achieved.

"This wave of blood exchange shadow demons is a big loss."

"This is the amount of blood that must be knocked out of the big medicine."

Compared to the fire cat with the fire shield,Carrying most of the damage of the two shadow pressures,The situation of the shadow demon who was chased by the fire cat is not so optimistic,In the recent revision,The attack power provided by the first two levels of the shadow demon to dominate the necromancy has been significantly weakened,Although the result in exchange is that the full-level passive attack power growth is much greater than the original,But in the early stage,The shadow demon's ability to fight is undoubtedly seriously insufficient。

This also led to the result that even if he fought hard with the Fire Cat Standing Stake with the ranged soldiers, the amount of HP lost by the Shadow Demon was much higher than that of the other party, and now Shin had to consider sending more supplies.

"......" He looked at the back of the fire cat Shi Shiran in the distance, and he couldn't help but want to press out the farthest C cannon to lower the opponent's blood volume to make his wave of confrontation look not so ugly, but after thinking about it again and again, he gave up this idea.

Even if this shot hits, the other party can return to full state as long as he knocks off the big medicine as well, and he-Lan Liang only has the last shadow pressure, although the supplies can be transported immediately, but he still wants to leave the state in the most critical place.

Now I can only suffer this dark loss.

However, it is harmless, the initiative of the lane is still in the hands of the shadow demon, and the fire cat's biggest reliance on the opponent with high magic damage in the lane is the fire shield, and the low-level fire shield has a vacuum period of more than 20 seconds, which is enough for him to turn two rounds of shadow pressure CD.

With the supplies coming in soon, there are a lot of things he can do during this time.

However, it is obvious that the other party's fire cat also understands this, and Lu Xinlei, who is in charge of the fire cat, has no reason to give the other party a chance.

All two skills consumed by the wave of operations just now require 20 seconds of final time to cool down, and there is no reliance on fighting against Shadow Fiend in this vacuum period, and there is no chance of winning.

Then hook the pawn first, make up the tower knife, and wait until the skill is cooled down, and the same operation can be copied again.

That's right.

Replicate this set of "as long as the shadowless fist does not dodge the shadow pressure, it will be an avalanche".

This is the most efficient way for the Fire Cat as a melee hero to fight against the Shadow Demon - use his periodic strong period to replace the opponent's state as much as possible, so that the opponent does not dare to make mistakes easily.

And the result of the failure is also obvious, the fire cat that has not been promoted to level six lacks the ability to escape from displacement, and after the fire shield is broken, in the face of the shadow demon's continuous shadow pressure series, the state will be quickly depressed, not to mention, there will even be a risk of being killed.

However, as long as it works, Lu Xinlei is willing to give it a try, as for whether it can succeed-

With her current state, as long as there is a theoretical possibility of operation, it should be possible to reproduce it.

It's not emotional conceit or self-confidence, but a more prosaic self-knowledge.

"I'll take it when I see it." Luckyie, the No. 4 player who manipulated Magnus, cut the screen and came to the middle lane, and in four minutes, the first group of river enhancement runes were refreshed, and he came to the middle lane as usual to look for opportunities, "Don't be afraid of the opposite singles, don't dare to cross the river, then I can't help you." ”

"He shouldn't be afraid." Lu Xinlei raised her eyebrows, "Just help me squat." ”
