Chapter 135: The First Shadow Demon
"To be strong means to win back praise. Ling Feng suddenly became the first captain again. At this time, when everyone talks about CAT, they will say that CAT is a player brought out by Ling Feng, as if Ling Feng has made an indelible contribution to the Chinese Dota circle. ”
But compared to Ling Feng, the new mid laner in their team, that is, the new talent, has really become a topic of conversation. Compared with the title of the world's No. 1 captain, the title of the world's No. 1 Shadow Demon is more impactful. The super popularity of the hero Shadow Fiend allows everyone who uses it to share this popularity. ”
"What is the world's number one shadow fiend? Ling Feng couldn't answer this question either. But in the hearts of ordinary audiences, the shadow demon who can show is the world's first shadow demon. But in the passerby bureau and professional games, there are also shadow demons who can show everywhere. Click on a random highlight video, all of which are the content of the Shadow Demon Sky Blood Show Death Bounty Hunter. ”
"So not only can you show, but you also have to be able to win, and you can show and win, this is the world's No. 1 shadow demon! After the fall of their dream team at CAT, Ling Feng's team became the team with the highest win rate using the hero Shadow Fiend. This glory is perhaps more precious than winning championships all the time. ”
"If it weren't for this so-called World No. 1 Shadow Demon, probably Ling Feng wouldn't have regained the title of World No. 1 Captain."
"Every world number one has to have a battle to get to the top. It is said that China is definitely a center of the world's dota, but there are not many world dota competitions held in China. Perhaps China is still too far away in the eyes of Westerners. ”
"Because there aren't many world competitions held in China, every time there is such a competition, it will be like a war. And this war is especially brutal. If the World Cup is held in Brazil, then Brazil will only need to win the Hercules Cup. But if there is a world-class Dota competition in China, then the Chinese team must win the championship. Whoever loses to a foreign team will have unimaginable consequences. ”
"Among them, if anyone loses to an Asian team, such as a team from Southeast Asia, their players will definitely not dare to go to any Dota-related website for a month."
"In these years when there was no king's division, I don't know who kindly paid for the sub-international competition. However, this is also an opportunity to show the majesty of a great power. Although we can't find a martial arts alliance leader for the time being, any foreign team can only come to travel. ”
"That's what the pros think, that's what the audience thinks, maybe the foreign players themselves think the same way. But that's not the case. In this competition, the Chinese team encountered an unprecedented Waterloo. The five Chinese teams fighting at home were defeated by a foreign team one after another. Another team from Malaysia also humiliated three of the Chinese teams. ”
"For the vast majority of Chinese Dota fans, it's like losing the First Sino-Japanese War. It really felt like the most dangerous time was when everyone had to be forced to let out a final roar! ”
As if it was a bounty, fans kept saying on the forum that whoever can beat a foreign team will be willing to have children for whomever the fans want. National righteousness, is it child's play? ”
However, despite all this encouragement, the Chinese team continued to fail. Among all the participating Chinese teams, only Ling Feng reached the semi-finals. This is a battle on home soil, with a total of five Chinese teams participating, but only one Chinese team in the semi-finals. ”
"No matter, only Ling Feng and them can win the championship, and all the fans will be on their side."
In the semi-finals, Ling Feng and the others used Shadow Demon to teach Malaysian friends how to play Dota. In the first game of the final, they used shadow demons to teach Westerners that Dota is actually similar to table tennis, no matter what the process is, the end will only be won by the Chinese. ”
"But Dota is not Shadow Demon SOLO, even Voldemort has a trick to deal with, and in the next two games, Shadow Demon has been in the dark room. And the opponent also defeated Ling Feng in straight sets. ”
"However, this defeat did not have any bad effect on Ling Feng and them. After this competition, the Chinese Dota also woke up from the dream of the Celestial Empire, and the musket cannons of foreign devils knocked on the door of the late Qing Dynasty. And Ling Feng is like a warrior who defends his home and country, when all the Chinese teams fell, they were still glorious despite defeat. ”
"After this competition, the general view was that China Dota was no longer leading. At the same time, out of all the participating teams, only Ling Feng was able to be forgiven, as they still played two crushing matches with Shadow Fiend. It's only because the opposite BAN has lost the Shadow Demon that Ling Feng and the others will lose the championship. ”
"The world's No. 1 shadow demon was born, in this embarrassing year, in such an embarrassing way."
"It's not a problem to be strong and sharp, it's not a problem to not know how to reflect, and after this competition, all the Chinese Dota teams have entered the rhythm of reflecting on the past. Once I reflect on it, it seems that it is a sin to drink an extra sip of water. ”
"Pride, arrogance, blindness, laziness...... Every Dota Pro is reflecting on his crimes, and only those who recognize the position can temporarily be forgiven by the fans. ”
"But where you fall, you still have to get up, this competition is only 200,000 US dollars, so that foreign players swept away 200,000 US dollars on the land of China, which is really unbearable, but think that a month later, the Chinese team can go to the United States and roll away 1.6 million US dollars. This temporary humiliation can still be temporarily put into your pocket first. ”
A month later, the second edition of The International Dota will move from Germany to the United States, increasing the prize money from $1 million to $1.6 million. But let's not talk about money this time, the first thing the Chinese team has to do is to get back the honor that belongs to them. ”
"Even without CAT and the other two players, the defending champions still made their way to TI, but this time they didn't have enough confidence at all, and as one might expect, they were the first to be eliminated."
"A momentary reflection cannot fundamentally solve the problem, and it can be seen that the Chinese team is playing very seriously. Not only did they play seriously, but everyone also took this game seriously, and there was no more high-mindedness. In the competition with other foreign teams, the Chinese Dota team seems to have become a national football team in a second. ”
"Everyone else is the strongest, but we are the best. After the other Chinese teams were eliminated, Ling Feng and his teammates came to the venue of the finals. ”
"Winning this BO5 final, Ling Feng will become a world champion, and he will also take the $1.6 million. In the end, Ling Feng can get at least more than 1.5 million yuan. ”
"Their opponent had beaten them a month ago, but this time, Ling Feng was very well prepared. Even if you want to BAN Shadow Demon this time, no, even BAN Voldemort is useless, Ling Feng is confident that he will take the opposite side 3-0! ”
"But the actual competition is much more difficult than Ling Feng thought. The American audience roared hysterically off the stage, and among the ten contestants on the stage, there was not a single American, but the American audience involuntarily stood on the opposite side of the Chinese team. There is a saying that is actually quite true, in the world of Dota, there are only two ...... of Chinese and aliens"
"Tens of thousands of American viewers are cheering on Ling Feng and their opponents, and even with a soundproof room, Ling Feng can still feel the enthusiasm of the American audience. Ling Feng, who had come to play professionally early, knew basically nothing about English, all he could hear was the howl of a beast. ”
"These nearly 10,000 spectators seem to be cooking Ling Feng and Ling Feng's teammates to eat."
"Ling Feng, they seem to have strayed into those ancient and mysterious tribes. The aborigines of the tribe usually howl like this when dealing with outsiders. ”
In the face of such a crazy howl, Ling Feng and the others also looked sluggish in the soundproof room. Not only are there delays in thinking, but they also make mistakes in operation. ”
"In the middle of the first game, the demon wizard doubled the rune in his hand and wanted to kill the storm spirit alone, but he was very unlucky to miss three times in a row, and in the end, he was also killed by the storm spirit. It was this kill that allowed the Storm Spirit to overpower the Demon Wizard, and the rhythm of the entire game was controlled by the Storm Spirit. ”
"Going into the second game with a score of 0-1, the opponent also released the shadow demon in this set. However, Shadow Fiend failed to become a savior, and from the very beginning, Shadow Fiend was ravaged by the other party like an unweaned child. But fortunately, Shadow Demon is a hero who can be brushed, and when the game reaches forty minutes, the world's No. 1 Shadow Demon proves that he is not only able to play against the wind. ”
However, after accidentally losing all the games, after catching the opponent's particularly fat ghost once, Ling Feng chose to push the middle and force high. They only wanted to force the ghosts to buy their lives, and then they retreated. But after the ghost buys them back, they are all kept by one of the Warlock's big moves. ”
"They were wiped out before the opponent's high ground, and the opponent also took this opportunity to break two lanes in a row. The miscommunication made Ling Feng and the others have to accept the reality of 0 to 2. ”
"Failed to fulfill the pre-game promise of 3-0, but could be 3-0 by the opponent, such a strong contrast made Ling Feng Alexander in the soundproof room. The soundproof room in front of me also looked more like a prison cell, and the people in the cell were still making their last struggles. ”
In the third game, the desperate Ling Feng chose a four-for-one lineup, and they achieved a big advantage in the early stage of this set. It was also the least suspenseful game in the five-game game, and the score was pulled back to 1-2. ”
"In the fourth game, it was also four guarantees and one game, but this set turned into a half-court offensive and defensive battle. Ling Feng, who had retreated early to defend on his own high ground, used his earthshaker to crush the opponent's attacks again and again. ”
"African refugees, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and China's highlands, the world's three major problems seem to never find an answer. Despite the huge advantage, the opponent with match point in hand was always unable to spread the flames of war to the high ground. After successive failures, they also swallowed the bitter fruit. ”
"Two waves in a row of perfect jumps, the Earthshaker cooperated with his big brother Enemy Mage to destroy the opponent twice on the high ground. The score became 2-2 and both sides would also go to a tiebreaker. ”
"When it came to the tiebreaker, all the pressure was thrown back on the other side. The long game had exhausted the American crowd outside, and they were no longer as excited as they had been at the beginning. Continuing to protect four and one, this tactic can be said to be the killer weapon of the Chinese team, and it can also be said to be the eternal fig leaf of the Chinese team. ”
