Chapter 53: New Talents Emerge
After the first day of the battle, the battle report, game highlights, and post-game interviews were all edited and published on video websites by the major UP masters.
"Wings and LGD are going to go one by one?"
"VP's mid-laner is very powerful, and he didn't suffer much from being on the line with maybe."
"Haven't you been beaten into a dog by the calculator? Blackbirds can't beat blue cats, can you believe it? β
"TS is so biting? A handful in 20 minutes? β
"the calculator, this blue cat is a little more ruthless?"
"Good guys, 'see you in the final', it's crazy!"
On the Dota 2 section of major forums in China, Serenity has undoubtedly become the object of discussion among water friends.
Serenity won not only the game, but also the "right to breathe". Previously, under the deliberate operation of the ACE Alliance, all major forums had their own water armies, intentionally or unintentionally smearing Serenity with rhythm, which was an irregular operation and a malicious poaching.
But the strength of e-sports is paramount, and after the first day of competition, serenity became the best performing team in China, and the neutral sailors who were blinded by ACE have a tendency to defect again, and someone on a forum even posted a post about the pickled things that the ACE league had done, but it was deleted not long after.
Luo Tianshen, who didn't travel with the team, stayed up late to watch all the games on the first day of Serenity, and was very excited to give the big dog an international call: "Big dog, I've watched all the games of our team, and it's good to play BP well!" β
The big dog's face stiffened, and the boss may not believe it when he says it, BP actually has nothing to do with him as a coach.
Before he could figure out how to answer, Luo Tianshen said again: "You and the team leader adjust the atmosphere in the team, don't put too much pressure on the team members." β
"Uh...... Good. β
Big Dog looked at the entertainment area, Rhythm Demon King, Iceice and Y didn't know where to find a deck of playing cards to fight the landlord, Pyw and Jumping Knife watched with interest.
Kyung Joon and Sumail are competing on the arcade machine, and Arteezy stands behind them. Resolution pulled super and played with several members of the VP's team.
Pressure? Don't be funny!
β¦β¦
It's not that training is wasted, it's just that it's past 10 p.m. local time after serenity and VP play, and it's understandable that everyone has fun as an adjustment after a day of competition.
On the second day, the teams in the lower half of the region launched a fierce competition, and the first stage was the new TI runner-up DC against the Spring and Autumn Overlord OG.
Several members of the team were quite satisfied with the results of the TI runner-up, and planned to relax and recuperate in the new season, in other words, they planned to be bad at the beginning of the season, but the sudden departure of resolution brought some changes to the team.
Although the members said that it was good to get together and disperse, they inevitably had a pimple in their hearts - do you think we are dissatisfied?
You don't think you can win the championship with us, do you? Then we want you to see whose problem it is that lost in the final! Before the TI6 experience, the DCs didn't really have that much confidence in themselves, but the runner-up finish has allowed them to prove their worth to the world.
Affected by this, their enthusiasm for the new season is even higher than that of TI6, and after adjusting their mentality from the resentment of the resignation, the remaining four have become the first to assemble among the European powerhouses, and the captain misery has also looked for a new candidate for the No. 1 position in advance.
Two days after Resolution announced his departure, DC officially announced a new team member, Nisha, a 15-year-old Polish genius.
Nisha's age is reminiscent of Sumail, who became famous in the first fight, but in comparison, Nisha's personality is more reserved. This is the treasure that DC picked up from the European Passerby Bureau.
misery fell in love with Nisha in the European server ladder game, and continued to pay attention to the decisive invitation for a while. After TI6, there was originally a team named Kinguin who also fell in love with Nisha, but compared to DC's invitation, Nisha had an easy choice.
Coincidentally, their opponent OG also made a big change in the lineup after TI6, and there were three changes. The original mid-laner Miracle switched to the old European e-sports giant Liquid, and the original No. 4 Cr1t also left the team to join the North American giant EG, as for the No. 3 Moon...... Because Taina was kicked.
The players selected by OG to fill the vacancy are Ana, a 17-year-old midlaner from China, a veteran of TI3 champion midlaners, s4 who has transitioned to the third position, and Jerax, the fourth position of former MVP HOT6.
Prior to TI6, Ana joined Team IG in China as a substitute for the TI2 Champion Meritorious 430 and won the BJ Esports Open in July.
I thought that TI6 could be turned from a substitute to a regular, but IG recruited the top popular players in China today burning (alas...... Ana felt that her future was hopeless, and her agent interfered with the relationship between the player and the club, and finally chose to leave Europe and was caught by OG.
The first two games were tied 1-1, and in the eyes of the audience, the second day was more exciting than the previous day, because both games did not show a crushing situation prematurely, but all after 30 minutes, the balance of victory began to gradually tilt.
This kind of scene is actually related to the team's style of play, compared to serenity and VP's Kombat whirlwind, DC and OG's style of play is more traditional, both of which are to avoid the battle when the lineup is weak to ensure the development of the core of the team, and in the stage of seizing the strong lineup, through the opportunity to kill the game through key team battles.
In the decisive game, the DC team got TB, Dragoon, Legion, Big Bull, and Poison Dog, which is an extremely solid lineup in the later stage, while OG chose a set of strong advance lineups in the early stage of Juggernaut, Alchemy, Mammoth, Rubick, and Little Y.
w33's laning ability is definitely first-class in the professional midlaner, and the opponent's midlaner Ana's laning strength is a bit worrying in comparison. With the help of the passive dragon bloodline, Dragoon carried the acid mist of alchemy online and blew Ana up.
In all fairness, the disadvantage of alchemy online is nothing serious, and since Ana has suffered a loss online, she naturally has to enter the wilderness. DC repeatedly wanted to invade the wild area to interfere with the development of alchemy, but OG, who had strong execution ability, stubbornly thwarted DC's plan, providing a broad space for the development of the wild area of ANA.
The two sides fought several times at the entrance of OG's wild area, but DC failed to achieve any results, but disrupted the rhythm of the w33 dragoon. Thinking that Nisha's TB is also developing without a solution, DC no longer takes the initiative to provoke OG, and the two sides enter a period of peaceful development.
Because OG's lineup is not dominant in the late stage, Ana chooses a physical flow fight outfit in this game, speeding up and leading teammates to advance. Although he was blown up on the line, with the help of the mammoth buff, he actually took out five pieces of equipment in his early 20s: a prosthetic leg, a large medal, a BKB, a strong attack, and a jumping knife!
Under the huge equipment advantage, OG decisively chose a wave of strong advancement. At this time, it was also the strong period of their lineup, under the leadership of Alchemy, the five OG started from the bottom of the road and pushed all the way to the high ground of DC, and finally broke the high ground of DC at the cost of 4 for 2, and only one alchemy survived.
Serenity was naturally watching the battle, and Resolution, who had a good relationship with Kyung Joon, teased: "Calculator, I feel that this ana, is faster than you." β
In the early stage, DC took the help of TB's transformation and pulled out OG's two outer towers first, although OG's defense of the wild area was quite tight, but the loss of the two outer towers still made OG's wild area leak everywhere.
But it is precisely such a not very safe environment for brushing money, but ANA showed a "violent brushing" posture in the wild area, and the efficiency of brushing money shocked everyone. Despite the help of the Mammoth buff, Ana also has a very accurate grasp of the alchemy passive greedy buff time, from the moment he entered the jungle, for more than ten minutes, the greedy passive gold has been kept at its maximum, never losing a penny because of rushing or other reasons!
Jing Zhun pursed his lips, he had to admit that Ana was indeed stronger than himself purely in terms of his ability to brush money, but if this alchemy was played by Jing Jun, the equipment was not necessarily worse than ANA's.
I've been able to lead the economy since I started online!
He doesn't care about Resolution's jokes, isn't it just hurting each other? He would too!
Nisha's TB has maintained the development of no fertilizer, and the equipment is only slightly inferior to alchemy, and in the previous wave of OG4 for 2, TB also gained three kills.
At this time, it was 25 minutes, Alchemy played the shield alone, and the OG four people opened the fog to invade the lower half of DC's wild area, covering alchemy while trying to catch a single key person in DC and then go to the high ground, so Nisha, who was alone in the wild area, was caught by the four people who opened the fog in addition to OG Alchemy.
The moment the little Y who walked in front broke through the fog, Nisha reacted extremely quickly to open BKB, and at the same time completed her transformation, and used the illusion to add another illusion.
Xiao Y couldn't release control after jumping the knife, so he could only insert the snake stick and escape. The TB anti-guest of prosthetic legs, BKB, doppelganger axe, and ice eye is the main anti-guest, and the two big demons crippled Xiao Y in one round of volleys.
The position of the mammoth in s4 is a little far away, and it took him even to catch up with the giant horn charge and jump knife, and he wanted to step on TB with a two-stage reversal, but Nisha, who was guarded, was lucky, and used the invincible time of the doppelganger axe to dodge the mammoth's ultimate move at the last moment!
Notail's Juggernaut made a mistake, he and Mammoth jumped their faces almost at the same time, and when Mammoth's ultimate move stepped into the air, Juggernaut's invincible slash had already been released!
Misha took advantage of the duration of the BKB to slow down and forcibly chased him to the entrance of the wild area, killing Little Y and Rubick alive, and pulling an illusion into the Roshan pit, and he was also beaten by the Juggernaut and Mammoth to less than half of his blood.
Alchemy was halfway through the shield at this time, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he came over, but the illusion that Nisha deliberately placed at the Roshan pit interrupted Alchemy's jumping knife, and OG's only remaining hand control could not be picked up for a long time!

After Nisha lost her blood, she unleashed a blood exchange on the mammoth, killing three people with one enemy and four forces, which made the commentary seat explode with great enthusiasm.
Kyung Joon replied leisurely, "Look at Nisha, hey, this wave is amazing!" It feels like DC is going to flip! β
Nisha's teammates finally arrived at the battlefield, Juggernaut Storm TP, Alchemy turned around and ran, and Roshan, who was halfway through the fight, gave it to others, and TB successfully carried the immortal shield on his back.
With the formation of TB, DC's strong period finally came, and alchemy gradually began to weaken at this time, and OG finally lost to DC 1:2 and fell into the loser's group.
But regardless of the outcome, the brilliance of the two rising stars, Nisha and Ana, began to shine on the Dota 2 arena from this day on.
