In TI's game, the group stage never represents the strength of a team, and many teams will hide their strongest lineup and routines in the group stage, using only one trick to use from the beginning to the end of the group stage, and only show their power in the knockout round.

In the group stage, after the three-day group stage of CNBEST in Group B, there were seven wins and one draw, and the only draw was the game that Lu Hai had been worried about, the game with FNATIC. fnatic, I don't know how, actually selected a lineup of the green army, all five heroes are crispy, with a little green on their heads, deer necromantic dragon tide, such a lineup just happened to hit Lu Hai They were caught off guard, they had never seen such a retro and strange lineup, and they were easily won the game.

But this does not affect their qualification for the group stage, and the group stage will not decide anything, as long as it is not the bottom one, no matter how many it is, it will not hurt. After all, they can enter the knockout round, whether it is the loser's group or not, it is nothing more than one less chance, but think about it another way, the winner's group plays to the end, and it is also necessary to play again with the first in the loser's group, and there is no chance to come back if you lose, so in this system, only the team with really strong strength can finally win the championship.

After three days of competition, Lu Hai lay on the bed and looked at the points of Group A that had just ended, Liquid was not the first place he imagined, the first place turned out to be VP, the defending champion only had three wins, five draws and one loss in third place, and the second was LGD, with four wins and four draws, and no defeat. The fourth team to enter the winner's group is more special. Originally, the four or five teams IGS and VGS had exactly the same points, both with a record of two wins and five draws, and after an extra game, IGS entered the winner's group.

"I didn't expect the top four in Group A to be really the four of them...... It seems that I was right. Lu Hai lay on the bed, looked at the text message on his mobile phone, and couldn't help muttering.

Although this result is expected, for Lu Hai, the fourth place in the group will be the first in Group B, that is to say, in the first game of the knockout round, CNBEST will play IGS.

The same Huaxia team, encountered in the first game, is the last thing Lu Hai wants to encounter, I didn't expect this thing to really happen, originally Lu Hai won all the way to this point, but now he is suffering from gains and losses.

At this time, it was already night, except for Lu Hai, everyone else did not rest, they were actively playing with the computers they brought outside, and constantly looking for their own feel in the game of Dota 2.

Feel this thing is a very metaphysical saying, many teams are because of the bad feel, the first day will come up to lose many games in a row, the second day some teams still can't find some feel to come...... Until the third day, I felt hot and won three in a row.

Now that it has entered the knockout stage, even the team that is not hot can no longer continue to stay as a half-hanger, and losing in the lower bracket means going home.

Lu Hai thought about it, and his phone rang...... He looked at the caller ID of the word "Xiaoqing" on his mobile phone, and felt a little panicked.

At this point in time, Xiaoqing called by herself, didn't she want to release the water by herself? Lu Hai shook his head violently, feeling that it should not be, what kind of person Fang Qing is Lu Hai knows very well, even if she loses, she will not let the other party release the water.

"Hello? What's wrong, baby? Lu Hai slowly picked up the phone and asked softly, his voice, no matter who listened, would feel that he was testing his intentions, and Fang Qing was no exception.

"Answering the phone so slowly? Are you banging with Li Nan? Fang Qing said openly.

"No...... I'm thinking about things. Lu Hai explained.

"No need to explain, there's no need to explain to me......" Fang Qing said without saving face for Lu Hai.

"Good ......" Lu Hai's mentality is distorted, the girl's fickleness is a little too strange, this last sentence is sarcastic, and the tone of the next sentence directly turns into anger......

Lu Hai sighed silently in his heart, he didn't know what to say, he always felt that this phone call was not as good as Fang Qing's call.

"Alas......" Fang Qing sighed instead, which surprised Lu Hai, and she then said: "Don't talk about Li Nan, I called you today, mainly because I want to tell you about tomorrow's game." ”

"I didn't say Li Nan either!" Lu Hai said indignantly in his heart, obviously he didn't mention Li Nan at a word, Fang Qing directly pointed the finger at her as soon as he came up, and there was an urge to kill people in every word, but Lu Hai didn't say it, silently held it in his heart, and responded, "Then you say it, I'll listen." ”

Lu Hai's tone was very sincere, so such seemingly provocative words were not considered by Fang Qing to be looking for a fight.

"Tomorrow's game, both of our teams will only play one game, in the winner's group A is currently only us and LGD, group B has one team, I didn't expect us to face each other in the first round, so there must be a team to go down." Fang Qing told him the information that Lu Hai was clear again, and his tone was very calm, and there was no aggravation.

Lu Hai didn't say a word, quietly waiting for Fang Qing to continue to elaborate her thoughts.

Fang Qing paused and continued: "Tomorrow's game, what I think is that we will lose two games directly and practice the lineup directly, if our team can't win this year, it is better to leave all the opportunities to you, which can be regarded as the right Huaxia." ”

Lu Hai was shocked in his heart...... But soon, he calmed down again, and said slowly: "Do you think the game is really just about winning and losing?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Qing was puzzled, she felt as if Lu Hai was going to educate her again, and hurriedly responded: "Don't educate me, this is my plan after careful consideration." ”

"Then I can tell you, there's no need to do this, you just show your own housekeeping skills, you can't beat us, the game has to do your best, work hard to play, understand?" Lu Hai said, "You have a lot more experience than my dota, why would you say such a thing in such a arena, even if I am your boyfriend, you shouldn't be like this." ”

Fang Qing was speechless, why is this donkey so virtuous today, he was also so unyielding at the beginning, and in the end, he didn't say "true fragrance" and admitted his mistake.

Before Fang Qing could speak, Lu Hai continued, this sentence made Fang Qing speechless, and even felt that there was some truth: "You want to maximize the use of resources, then why don't you think about it, since you IGS can play a three-way excellent game and be overturned, can't you change it?" Or do your teammates not want to win? If you want to win, you will try to win the game, and don't use perfunctory excuses like wanting to lose to cover up a team's wrong ideas. ”

"Wrong idea?" The voice on the other end of the phone obviously changed a little, there was no upset, but it felt a little special, "I understand~ Tomorrow, have a good fight, I will do my best, I hope you don't let me down~"

"Good!" Lu Hai readily agreed to a word.

This has already been thought out in Lu Hai's heart, if he wins, the next game will face the winner in VP and Mineski, and if he loses, he will face the winner between VGJT and OG, whether it is a win or a loss, for both of them, they will not face the danger of direct elimination, and winning is a big deal to fight with VP, in terms of the state of CNBEST, not afraid of any opponent, if IGS can win them, it can show that their strength is very strong, no team, if they lose, to play two teams that are second-rate in TI, it is impossible to lose.

"Not bad...... It's good to just fight like that. Lu Hai smiled knowingly, and didn't say anything more, since Fang Qing had said such a thing, Lu Hai's heart was a little relaxed.

This is the first time I heard that Fang Qing is going to let go and fight him, was she hiding her strength before? Her strength is already so strong, and she can still hide, how terrifying does this strength have to be......

However, Fang Qing didn't know one thing, that is, Lu Hai's mending knife method, which was created by him, in the early stage, for the line, unless it was a hero who stabilized the opponent's head, basically as long as it was below the balance of power, all heroes would not have much chance to beat Lu Hai in mending the knife.

Night...... Gradually, how many people fell asleep with dreams, and how many people left in disappointment.

The penultimate insirile of group A, the penultimate pain of group B, the starry night is gone......

When they came, they also had the same dreams as Lu Hai, but unfortunately...... Everything is so far away, 0 wins, 0 draws and 8 losses, and it has become a memory that people can't forget.

On the second day, a day off, Lu Hai looked for Fang Qing to go out on the road for a long time, and went out shopping with Li Nan for a long time in the afternoon, he gradually, he really regarded Li Nan and Fang Qing as his girlfriends, and even thought about going out to play, and at noon he told Fang Qing that he was going out with the team in the afternoon, where could Fang Qing not guess his thoughts? It's just not broken.

It wasn't until the third day that the Vancouver Rogers Stadium ushered in the final days of TI and the most important schedule - the knockout round.

It is also commonly known as the main race. After all the losers' brackets are played, the first game of the winner's group is a civil war, and everyone knows this game in their hearts, whether it's a group, or a battle information, the V company says it's random, but it's actually a little bit of care.

However, this year, the organizers have divided the table strictly according to the rankings, with the first in Group A versus the fourth in Group B, the second in Group A versus the third in Group B, and so on. It's the same with the lower bracket.

The Chinese team, which could have occupied three places in the upper bracket, now seems to be the first game in the upper bracket.

LGD plays EG, and the people of Huaxia still think that LGD will win, although the EG of this new group is very strong, everyone thinks that his run-in is not enough, so they think they can't win.

On the field, the five members of CNBEST and the five members of IGS have already stepped onto the stage.

There is a girl in the teams on both sides, which has seen them fight in last year's competition, and now in the field of TI8, it has reappeared, and the world's doters are extremely surprised.

In the ob live broadcast room, several brothers were ridiculing, and the dragon god said teasingly: "Look at the girl in cnbest, although she looks good, she feels a little bad complexion, IGS that girl has a good complexion, and the state on both sides is not quite right!" ”

"Huangxiang, what are you hinting at~ Needless to say, everyone understands it~" YYF said.

"I hint at you MB, I just have a sentence to say! Today I'm optimistic about IGS Okay, cnbest, the state is not good, their group B is not very difficult to play, and the strength of the top few in group A is still a little gap. Ryujin said.

"Then I'm optimistic about cnbest, it's not like you haven't seen the way IGS plays, their weaknesses are too seriously exposed, a team won't cooperate, what's the use of being strong online!" YYF said.

"Shut up, you all shut up! Let me tell! Brother Snapper broke and said, "Haven't you forgotten that the two of them were a couple in the team last year?" Last year it was IGV that won CNBEST, will it be CNBEST that wins IGS this year? Is there such a saying~"

The five people burst into laughter, and Brother Bao then said: "Brother Snapper is still hanging!" The truth is told in one sentence. ”

"Don't talk about people like that, everyone may have to play hard, eat melons quietly and watch the game, anyway, I'm just in good shape, I don't care if the two teams win, it's all Huaxia's team anyway." The dragon god said calmly.

"How do you feel like the dragon god, you seem to be talking about the final! This is just the first match of the upper bracket of the knockout round, why do you say that it is like the TI4 final...... It's very relaxing to see which team wins~" Brother Snapper said.

"I'm just saying, I'm in a pretty stable state of mind anyway."

On the field, the teams on both sides of the game advanced to each other and shook hands in turn. Lu Hai is the team leader, Fang Qing is also the team leader, when the two sides are far away, Lu Hai has already seen the firmness in her eyes, Lu Hai has no fear, there is just excitement, an excitement to fight with top masters.

Walking by, Fang Qing and Lu Hai didn't speak, but when they walked next to Li Nan, they whispered, "Today, I'm staring at you to kill." ”

Li Nan looked at Fang Qing who was walking by, and said in a slightly louder voice than she had just said, "I'll kill you~"

It's like a py deal.,This kind of conversation,It's like a fake match.,But maybe only these two girls know.,There's something in their words.。

When Wang Gouzi walked through the land and sea, that look looked like he was eager to kill him, and said viciously in his ear: "If I don't kill you today, I'll change my surname!" ”

Lu Hai replied cheaply: "It's not easy to kill me?" His words were very simple, that is, everyone would be killed, so it was not surprising that he was killed by Wang Gouzi, and suddenly his cruel words turned into a joke.

And after walking over, Li Nan thought silently in his heart: I'll kill you~ If you can kill me so that I don't die, it's really your ability~

Fang Qing had just heard Li Nan's words, no matter how correct her mentality was, no matter how good she was, she couldn't stand such words, coupled with the cute expression on her sweet angelic face, men would like it when they saw it, and their rivals would be angry when they saw it. Fang Qing could imagine that she was very angry in her heart, and couldn't help but scold in her heart: "Stinky Lu Hai, Li Nan Li Nan all day long!" I'm! ”

Both sides entered the game room with unhappiness......
