Chapter 231: The Battle of the Qualifiers
In the first round, he went down to the second-ranked team in the Warriors League, and in the second game, he didn't meet the first-place IG. So it went quite smoothly, with a straight streak and an easy top two. The first or second place in the Warrior League does not mean that they already have the opportunity to participate in TI8, these two places are just a qualifier.
The five young people of the best, after winning the last game, couldn't help shouting, they didn't think that this year's "audition" could pass the Warriors League as a way to qualify for the qualifiers so easily.
Lu Hai, Fourth Brother, and Ling Yun were all excited, but at this time, Li Nan and Er Bing were silent, they seemed to have their own ideas, and they were not excited to enter the qualifiers.
"Why aren't you two upset at all?" Lu Hai asked puzzled.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's not time, it's a little too early to be happy." Er Bing said happily, "Sister Li Nan should think the same way." ”
"Huh?" Li Nan came to her senses, she just seemed to be in a trance, and when she heard Er Bing call her name, she reacted, so she said, "No...... I'm thinking, the rest of this year's qualifiers. ”
"What's there to think about, whoever it is, we have to win, and this year's goal is to win the championship and we can't afford to lose." Lu Hai said, "Losing can only prove that our strength is not strong and not enough to be the first level." ”
"Almost all of our handfuls just now were hanging, Brother Hai, I have to say that you let us practice tacit understanding This trick really works, no matter who I cooperate with you personally, I don't need many words to play the perfect bo, it's really comfortable." The fourth brother licked Lu Hai frantically and said, at this time, he seemed to have forgotten about Lu Hai's feet stepping on two boats, and he always liked to talk about it before, damaging Lu Hai, after the game, what he saw was no longer Lu Hai's people, but his strength.
Only one person becomes strong and powerful, and others dare not talk nonsense and make irresponsible remarks about you, if you are powerful enough to become a hegemon, even if you marry a hundred wives, you will not dare to say a word more, this is the world, this is the reality, this is the different fate of everyone.
Lu Hai's eyes were firm, as if he had already guessed it, he said: "That's inevitable, think about it, I know, after practicing for so long, even if we are BP disadvantage now, with our cooperation, it is estimated that there are very few opponents, if these second-rate teams can tie with us, then we might as well give up directly this year, how can we still have a chance to win the championship?" ”
Lu Hai's words didn't mean to damage the teams that played against them, he just told the truth. Judging from the current battle situation, several of the teams in these warrior leagues are not even second-rate teams, one of them is DY Five Uniques, when they play Lu Hai, they also have 0 shots, but that 0 is easier than when they play EHOME.
"We seem to have never died in the last two games, we are no longer in a segment, as far as this game is played, their teams are not our opponents, and the second-rate teams should be able to fight with us, but the possibility of winning is very small. Luck can kill us a few times, and that's their luck. The fourth brother said his thoughts mercilessly.
"Don't be too arrogant, you haven't played the next game yet, and you will know how much the gap is after the game." Er Bing said his thoughts very objectively, the gap between the teams still needs to be measured by the game, just talking, it is useless.
Lu Hai nodded: "Go out and have a good meal today, and wait for their audition in three days." ”
E-sports, after the game, you must have a meal together, even if you eat a bowl of noodles in a small restaurant, you can unite the team, after the game, a few young people full of dreams, went to the place to eat.
Three days later......
Ti audition, after a battle of the world, this year except for the directly invited VG, LGD, Nebee, VGJ, all the other teams, all without exception participated in the audition, of course, the 12th place in the Warrior League, IG and best two teams directly entered the qualifiers.
Hundreds of teams played three consecutive days of competition, these days' games, Lu Hai and they were not idle, watching the games of different teams every day, after all, it was TI's open tournament, and many peculiar playing styles and lineups were worth watching.
In this year's audition, Lu Hai found that if he went to play by himself, he would probably be drowned in it, the lineup was strange and fancy, and there were even many teams who deliberately came to do things, and there were many people who chose five remote halo systems, which caused many professional teams to be stunned by the Internet grassroots.
The black hand of the alliance stretched out to the audition at this time, and some teams obviously lost the game, but they still had a chance to be resurrected, and many grassroots teams lost a victory in the game and were directly eliminated.
Seeing these situations, the best few people were all touching their heads and sweating coldly. If BEST participates in the audition, will it be more targeted by the alliance? After the A round, let yourself play the B round, and let yourself run to Group C after the B round? Infinite difficulties, no matter how powerful the team is, it can't withstand the infinite wheel war, fortunately it is the Warrior League of the V Society, otherwise Lu Hai feels that he may not have the opportunity to play in the qualifiers this year.
In three days, the list of qualifiers came out, a total of ten teams, most of them are old teams, new teams, . S, a newly established team composed of three newcomers and two old men, was suddenly born, and the audition went all the way to the end, becoming the biggest dark horse in the audition......
Hearing this news, Lu Hai was not surprised, with Fang Qing here, after two substitutions, it was a very normal thing for his strength to become quite strong. Among the teams that qualified for the qualifiers, Fang Qing's new team was just that, and the competition of this team in the audition was quite terrifying in the face of the complete crushing of the second-rate professional team.
The eight teams in the qualifiers have been finalized, namely IG, best, FTD, CDEC, KG, LFY, YoungDumb. In the audition, all six teams except IG and best have been beaten again, it seems to be eight teams, one is dominant, the three-core system, who has the money to listen to whom, the playing style is extremely cancerous, extremely special, but extremely fierce, so it is feared by all teams.
This year, unlike last year, this year is divided into a group stage and a knockout stage, with the top four teams in the group stage entering the upper bracket, and the bottom four teams in the group stage entering the lower bracket, a format that is often used in many major tournaments.
Last year's system was not adopted, mainly because this year's quota was reduced, and there were only two. Last year's Huaxia Division had three qualifiers, but this year it has become two, and there is no way, the system of directly qualifying for the first place in the group stage no longer exists. Under this system, each team will not be eliminated absolutely, but will give everyone a chance.
Today, all the teams have to play seven games, and for themselves, it is also a physical and mental ordeal.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the five young people of BEST were notified by the perfect person to rush to the place they had already visited last year. A very tall building in the magic capital, when entering, Lu Hai saw Fang Qing and ran over to say hello, Fang Qing ignored it, Lu Hai also understood the reason, the man next to her ...... Lu Hai will never forget.
Li Shan! This guy ...... Huh? What about Xiao Hong? Why is Xiao Hongren gone......
Lu Hai only knew that the first substitution was the refusal, and after the refuser left, he rejuvenated his own spring, and he played quite well in VG, and was even once known as the strongest team in Dota. This second substitution, what is written is not to be revealed, ready to ti again, ask Fang Qing Fang Qing and don't tell him, only then can he understand why Fang Qing didn't say it, it turned out to be like this...... Xiaohong, where have you been? Why don't you even make a phone call.
Lu Hai has never seen this No. 4 position, and he should be a newcomer, he has never seen it, let alone knows what it is called, and he has never even heard of his ID.
After leaving, Lu Hai's eyes were still watching the direction they were going, and after looking at it for a long time, Ling Yun walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and shook it in front of his eyes before he came back to his senses.
"It's all right...... Just thought of something. Lu Hai said casually, turning around as the words ended, he turned away, stopped talking, and silently walked to the special room they were going to.
Li Nan was next to him just now, without saying a word, Lu Hai's eyes, obviously his mentality had fluctuated greatly just now, speaking at that time was likely to attract disgust, Ling Yun, a heartless guy, Lu Hai had just eased up, otherwise he might have reached out and slapped him directly.
Sitting in the special room, Lu Hai's mood gradually eased, and he kept saying to himself in his heart: Even if Xiao Hong was T, he was wronged like this, and he didn't have any ability to help him and let him be Er Bing's replacement? I'm afraid he won't get a chance to play. And anyone who gets involved with himself will be banned permanently. This is a great disaster for a professional player like Xiaohong. Since you can't help him, you can only look at his own creation.
In the first game, it was an old rival, CDEC. In this game, Lu Hai led the team, without hesitation, and directly pressed CDEC to the ground is a friction, and they surrendered directly in nineteen minutes, and there was no way to fight back.
In the second game, Lu Hai didn't expect it. The road is narrow, and he has to love and kill each other in the qualifiers, but he doesn't have any good way, and if he encounters it, he can only kill them against them.
"Lu Hai, I will only meet in the next few games, but I didn't expect to meet in the second game directly, this is ...... Claimed to be the strongest team in this year's audition, what are our odds of winning? Ling Yun asked.
"Forty percent of the mid laners have beaten their mid laners, and they still need to catch the middle more, and my solo level is not as good as his." Lu Hai honestly stated the fact that he was not as good as Fang Qing's solo. After all, he studied under Yu Fang Qing, and followed Fang Qing for ten months, he would solo a few times a day, although he would win, but occasionally, and later he only won a little more. In the face of his wife, Lu Hai didn't even dare to say such a thing as a balance of power.
"Every time you see her, she says you can't beat her, is she really that scary?" Ling Yun said, "In that fight, I feel that she is not so hanging, why do you keep saying that she is very powerful." ”
Lu Hai said: "It's not that I said that she is very hanging, so let's let the fourth brother play the mid-laner and match her against the line, I will take the eldest brother Shuiren, you can see it, I have been practicing the mid-laner every day for so many months, and I feel that I can't suppress her now, don't you hang?" ”
When the fourth brother heard Lu Hai say let him come, he smiled slightly, and he didn't have a particularly big feeling, let him come, he thought, anyway, in the group stage, except for the group stage, other teams have the confidence to play, and it's okay to give it a try.
"Good! I'll come, I'll come! I've been practicing solo for so long, and it's not for nothing. The fourth brother said ambitiously.
The configuration of the lineup, the group stage, the play, Lu Hai doesn't particularly care about what to choose, and when the cooperation is already perfect, the lineup can be balanced as long as the situation is balanced. The BPs on both sides are quite uninteresting, they are all casual bans, looking at the selection.
In three or four minutes, both sides came up with their own lineups.
The best to take the lineup, the combination of the water man and the poisonous dragon. Because the fourth brother of the middle single was facing Fang Qing, Lu Hai was afraid that he would be beaten very ugly, so he gave him a very strong hero, and the suppressive power on the poison dragon line in the early stage was still very strong, and it was generally not easy to be beaten by other middle singles.
With three auxiliaries, the water man is matched with Sal, and the disadvantage road is a big bull and a tide, as long as the other party is not banned, Lu Hai will choose, which seems to have become a foregone conclusion, and their selection method gradually began to be remembered by other teams.
At the same time, the choice of heroes is also very interesting, TS Zeus and Dragoon's three-core lineup, the branch is very flexible, the dragoon can't beat the poisonous dragon in the middle of the road, he will look at the split road to go to the position that suits him, the tide and the big bull are still quite strong for the dragoon, after all, one reduces the armor, the other minus the basic armor, the dragoon originally relied on the armor to eat, he can only find the water man to the line, after all, the water man damage in the early stage is very low, the output is not high, and it doesn't hurt or itch to fight the dragon rider.
The other soy sauces, all of which don't cost economy, directly have an oracle in one hand and Benny in the other, although the group seems to have no team control, it is quite weak compared to the team battles of Da Niu Tide and Sal, but the output of their three-core lineup is still quite impressive. This kind of three-core play has long been perfected, and the choice is not ordinary......
