Chapter 190: Happy to be beaten
According to the format, the top two teams in the group stage will be divided into two halves. Since the group stage adopts the format of the Swiss round, the knockout stage should also be a single defeat.
This means that serenity and IG will not meet before the final, and for IG, the Kyiv Major will be in a better position than the Asian Invitational.
Serenity's performance was as expected by all.
In the first round of the knockout round, they were challenged by the fish belly team MOZ, who lost all three games. Both sides are at least two notches behind each position in terms of their individual ability, team execution and tacit understanding.
To deal with this kind of opponent, Jing Zhun naturally will not surrender his identity to be a water ghost. Although Mouz's midlaner intends to learn from the machine gunner, the other two lanes can't withstand Serenity's strong play at all.
The two games took less than 40 minutes in total, and Serenity easily defeated her opponent with the usual system of line optimization and propulsion.
In the eight-to-four match, serenity eliminated EG in the group stage 2:0.
Sumail said no, but the body was very honest.
In the game with Serenity, he selected two games of Shadow Demon in a row, and the mango has never been broken in the line period, which is completely a pure solo play.
But even so, he couldn't play the desired effect, and he couldn't get into a five-five fight with Jing Zhun. Because in these two games, Kyung Joon also invested a lot of money to buy supplies during the line match, and in both games, he grabbed Lena and steadily suppressed Sumail online.
With no sound in the middle, the pressure on EG fell to the wings, and this was precisely the beginning of their collapse.
The universe, which claims to never make mistakes, has been in a jaw-dropping state recently, and there have been unbelievable low-level mistakes one after another, which can be called EG's number one sinner.
IG on the other side was also smooth, they eliminated SG and secret 2:0 in a row, and the path to promotion was very similar to serenity, both of which won the weak team with absolute strength first, and then defeated the strong opponent through the thigh-level performance of the side XXS.
You say machine gunners?
Alas! Do you still need to ask?
The viewing environment of the Kyiv Major is indeed not as good as before, and the designers of V Club have also started a discussion about the special situation that will arise in this competition, and feel that they will make a target in the next update.
But no matter how much you target it, it's a matter of the next version, and it won't have any impact on the results of this major.
From the second round of elimination, the appearance rate of the two heroes, Shadow Fiend and Lena, has reached its peak, and the reason is that these two have high-quality short CDaoe, which makes them super clear and consume power.
After all the eight-in-four matches are over, the top four are born, serenity will face VP, and IG is once again against OG. Among these four teams, serenity, IG and OG have all been contaminated with water ghost play to some extent, but only VP has always stuck to himself.
I, Noone, just want to match you with real skills!
Although the promotion process has been full of hardships, Noone has never moved closer to that road of no return. After entering the knockout stage, only VP will also choose mid-laner heroes such as Carl, Queen, and Puck.
This may seem like a stupid move, but because of the toughness of the VP, they have gained the largest number of supporters, and even surpassed the serenity team, which players consider "degenerate".
All of a sudden, VP became a team that everyone loved!
On April 30, the final day of the Kyiv Major, there will be two BO3 semi-finals, as well as the final BO5 finals. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the first semi-final game started on time, and the two sides were the serenity and VP teams with the largest number of supporters at the moment.
Not to mention the lack of spectators in the two-day game, even the OB brothers were a little embarrassed.
After the two sides entered the BP stage, longdd sincerely prayed: "Sailors, it's really not me who said, I can play one-on-one in this major." I really hope that when I fight with the VP, my eldest brother won't do that again, it's really boring! ”
To Longdd's great rejoice, his wish came true. Serenity and VP seem to have a good understanding, and in the first stage of banning, they sent Shadow Fiend and Lena to the ban position respectively.
"Huh?" Inside VP's soundproof booth, Noone's eyes flashed, and he said to solo, "What one?" ”
It's a pity that Jing Zhun couldn't hear his questioning, otherwise he would have told him on the spot:
Yes! Let's have a good fight!
Do you think it's fun to take the initiative to be a water ghost?
Don't be stupid, if it weren't for a certain purpose, who would want to stuff into their mouths!
Serenity finally waited for such a normal opponent as VP, how could he still pull the opposite side and jump into the pit?
In the first game, the VP of the Radiant side took the lead in the mid-laner position, and when selecting people in the second stage, they selected the TA with a very low appearance rate in this major, for which they also deliberately banned the fire cat, DS and poisonous dragon, and tried to fight for the biggest stage for TA.
The moment he saw TA, Kyung Joon breathed a sigh of relief.
It's worthy of you, VP, and you're still so sincere.
Although VP also took out the Axe King later, Serenity was in the mid-laner position. Or decisively choose a mid-laner that Jing Zhun has never taken out in any game - Huska!
“wow!!!”
There was actually nothing to praise about these two single-laner heroes, but the audience erupted in cheers.
The world has been suffering for a long time, it's time for the audience to wash their eyes!
At the end of the first round of BP, serenity's lineup is Troll, Huskar, Legion, Phoenix, and Fawn. VP's lineup is Juggernaut, TA, Axe, Sky Fury, and Ice Maiden.
Although Kyung Joon hasn't used Huska much in the game, he has used it a lot in training matches, and this hero can be called his own father online. TA was not just pressed when he met Huskar, but he couldn't mix it at all.
Huskar's fire spear is extremely effective against TA's restraint, and the attack speed is amazingly fast, with TA's range, as long as you dare to make up a knife, you will be pierced at least three or four fire spears.
"Noone is gone, and you're still a fart in the middle lane?" Although Zhou's wording is a bit vulgar, it is indeed a big truth.
TA couldn't occupy the line at all, level 3 was directly beaten into the wild area, and the economic experience collapsed across the board, but he had a good time in the wild area, but he was unexpectedly in a good mood.
After seeing the lineup, Noone already had a premonition of the situation he was about to usher in, and he was indeed blown up, but at this time he did not feel a little disgusting. Compared to Shadow Fiend Lina's brainless throwing skills, Kyung Joon's approach of using hero traits to occupy an online advantage is more in line with Noone's intentions.
And after the hero TA reaches level 3, the efficiency of the jungler is actually not low, and it will get higher and higher as the level increases, so it is not unacceptable to be forced to drill into the wild.
As a fighting nation, Noone still admires the strong in his bones, and he allows others to use his strength to blow himself up, but he will never allow anyone to fish in troubled waters by exploiting loopholes.
The sailors who can't see the pictures of the players in the live broadcast room may not believe it, but Noone, the user of TA who was beaten miserably in their eyes, was smiling with relief at this time, and said to his teammates casually:
"Look, I'm going to say I was forced, right? He must be the same as me, he only likes to speak with strength! ”
