Chapter Seventy-Nine: Every Family Rejoices, Each Family Grieves
WG failed to create a miracle after all, and it took them a little over 30 minutes before they were beaten by serenity and became the first directly invited team to be eliminated.
To put it cruelly, their two games with serenity have no reference value for other teams, and there is nothing new in the two-game lineup of serenity, just pure individual ability, WG's three lines were all shattered, and their defeat was pronounced almost as soon as the line period ended.
To Luo Tianshen's mixed joy, passion also passed the first round quite smoothly, easily defeating COL 2:0. Although the performance of zhizhizhi and xinq was not as good as the usual training matches, there were no major mistakes in the two games, and the growth was quite gratifying.
DC and EG, who are in the top half of the same league as these two teams, also won against their respective opponents, and LFY unfortunately became the first Chinese team to return home.
As the champion of the China qualifiers, LFY won three games and three losses in this Major, and only scored a small score against passion, which was sprayed miserably in the domestic forum community.
(In fact, LFY's record was 0-4 at the bottom of the group, and then won LGD 2-0 in the first round of the knockout round, and lost to AF in the second round, so it won one game.) )
"Disband!" and "Retire!" The management of LGD Club was also quite dissatisfied with LFY's performance and began to adjust the team configuration.
Because two of the three Chinese teams in the top half are retained, and there is a set of serenity and passion civil wars that can ensure that one Chinese team advances to the next round, the domestic audience still maintains a relatively optimistic attitude.
But after the first round of the second half of the knockout rounds was played the next day, all those optimisms were destroyed......
IGV lost 0:2 to VP, which would not have caused much turmoil, but the bad thing is that IGV did not play badly, especially in the second game, which had a good chance to win the game.
The refuser used Luna in both games, and regardless of the situation, the economy always led the game, and perfectly completed the job of a No. 1 position (the refuser in the IGV period was not cowardly at all, and the leather shoes that had just debuted were also very strong in the line, alas...... )。
However, IGV's No. 3 injuly's mentality is too fragile, due to the disadvantage of the lineup, their own Luna and Batrider were defeated by VP's poisonous dog after losing one game first, and the injuly's performance in the second game can be called the lower limit of the profession, far worse than zhizhizhi and xinq in the group stage.
In order to make the bat achieve a perfect start, IGV even equipped a support such as the Silencer, but injuly missed the opportunity to take the lead many times, which led to the strong period of IGV's lineup being held up by VP, and finally achieved a turnaround.
injuly's bats perform very well in the national service ladder, and can even be called a ladder tumor, and almost everyone regards bats as injuly's best of the best. He once used Batrider to pull 430's TA up the platform many times to complete the kill in a game of ladder, and was angry by the angry 430: "Why haven't you seen such a good bat?" ”
At that time, Injuly replied eloquently: "Jinzhang." ”
In a word, who would have thought that a professional player who has been fighting for many years would have such a glass heart, and the matter of "jinzhang" was once again turned out by sailors, and injuly has completely become the sinner of IGV in the mouth of domestic audiences, and the public opinion attack it has endured is even more fierce than LFY.
If the elimination of IGV alone is acceptable to the domestic audience, Newbee's 1:2 defeat to AF made the domestic audience completely fried.
Whether it is the player's perception or the pre-match prediction, Newbee has the absolute upper hand in this game, and the first game of this BO3 is also as predicted before the game, Newbee won the game with a crushing momentum.
But from the second game onwards, Newbee became more and more timid. When the scene was once occupied, all Newbee members seemed to be unable to play, and sent two waves of deadly team annihilations in a row, and AF seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
The third game was even more surprising, and the AF who successfully turned the tables became more and more courageous, but won another game with a crushing attitude, so that Newbee was eliminated by chasing two.
"Crushed, overturned, crushed", this is the summary of this BO3 by the domestic audience.
AF supporters may be encouraged by the fact that they are chasing one, but for domestic audiences, the process of holding high and falling down again is too frustrating.
The only Chinese team in the lower half of the division to make it past the first round is the EHOME team, which has undergone a reorganization. Although the results were gratifying, the process was not smooth at all.
Their battle situation is exactly the opposite of Newbee, being crushed, overturned, and crushed.
For the domestic audience, the scenes of EHOME's games were once quite ugly, if it weren't for the Chinese player's old friend EESAMA in the last two games of the super super huge huge low-level mistakes, EHOME is very likely to be carried away by NP directly 2:0. Because it was too difficult to win, the domestic audience was not optimistic about the prospects of EHOME.
The day before it was a good situation, but the next day it was cloudy. After analyzing the next schedule, domestic players realized that passion and EHOME are very likely to stop in the second round, and serenity should be the last hope in the Chinese division.
Even if the Chinese audience has confidence in Serenity, they can't help but recall the painful experience of the first half of the year, when the Shanghai Major Championship held on their doorstep, the best result of the Chinese team was only the top 8.
That's the best division?
It was only then that a part of the domestic audience discovered a cruel fact, that Chinese Dota is no longer as leading the world as it was a few years ago. Ti6's Wings has preserved the last vestiges of Chinese DOTA's dignity, and the same is true of Serenity today.
If there is no Serenity, what would be the results of the Chinese team at the Boston Major? At most, it's the top four, right?
With so many Chinese teams participating, how humiliating it must be to end up in the top four!
(In fact, the best result of the Boston Major in '16 was the quarterfinals of LFY, the quarterfinals of stepping on LGD's corpse, and the first round of the knockout rounds of the other five Chinese teams all went home)
Round 2 Schedule:
DC vs EG
Serenity vs Passion
EHOME vs VP
AF vs OG
This time, the attitude of the domestic forum is no longer so optimistic, and all kinds of analysis posts are cautious, lest they be slapped in the face after the second round, and the analysis they give is that among the top four teams, only one team from the Chinese division is Serenity.
At 2:30 a.m. on December 10, the match between serenity and passion officially began, and this BO3 was the second game of the day, after DC had eliminated EG 2:0 without blood.
The schedule has been going on so far, and there is only one game in the same period, and the OB commentators don't have to act separately, and they get together to become a vegetable market.
Longdd asked with some curiosity: "Brother Feng, who do you think can win this game?" ”
"I guess it's TS." Brother Feng didn't hesitate, "I heard, I heard!" The training match between the two teams is 82 open. ”
Brother Feng and Big Dog talked about the situation of passion in private, and Big Dog also told Brother Feng about their training results with Serenity and EHOME.
Big Dog's original words were "can't be beaten at all", but Brother Feng, as a commentator, naturally can't say that, and the game that hasn't started yet has to leave some suspense.
The barrage didn't pay much attention to BP, but launched such a barrage in one voice: "Go to bed after watching this one!" ”
Why?
Because in the next EHOME match against VP, it is very likely that you will go home directly......
