The second semi-final will be played against IG and OG, two teams that are old rivals, and it is these two teams that have trained each other the most during The Asia Invitational.

It's no secret that the two teams always played five or five in training matches at that time.

But just when everyone was expecting a battle of the dragons, the trend of this semi-final was somewhat unexpected.

OG is completely being beaten!

The Heavy doesn't care who his opponent in the middle is, he has already reached the semi-finals, and he has only one strategy for the lane, which is to die together.

My machine gunner is the Lena Pillar Force!

Coincidentally, as the S4 grew older and gradually declined in terms of competitive level, the strategy adopted was exactly the same as that of the machine gunners in the case of increasing confidence in the mid-laner line.

The two water ghosts meet, and the result can be imagined, the machine gunner and S4 are about to knock out the dog's brain, and the middle lane is a complete mess of mud, Jerax and boboka have no intention of supporting the middle lane at all, and just leave them to fend for themselves.

Heavy, S4: I don't need to help in the middle lane, I'll go with him!

Although Jerax's No. 4 position is at the top of the world, his talent is in wandering and teamfight handling in the middle and late stages, and lane matching is not his strong point.

At the same time, OG's overall tactical idea is four guarantees and one again, and most of the heroes in the third position are anti-pressure mixed-line heroes, which makes IG's first position burn like a fish in water.

On this line, there are no obvious advantages and disadvantages on both sides, at most it is a mutual fertilizer.

It stands to reason that the balance of power between the two should be a situation that OG likes to see, which is conducive to their subsequent four-person containment play, and will not be beaten badly by IG. But the problem is in their lifeblood - the road to superiority, and something goes wrong!

At the beginning of the month, IG was full of ambition when he went to the Asian Invitational Tournament and pointed to the championship, but he was given a resounding slap in the face by the cruel facts.

Originally, in IG's plan, the big enemies of the Asia Invitational should be serenity and OG. But who would have thought that a little-known one would be killed halfway through, so that IG couldn't even enter the finals.

Nowadays, domestic professional players only have champions in their eyes. The result of third place is undoubtedly a huge blow to a young player like XXS, and it also punctures his growing mentality because of his recent consecutive victories.

The XXS who calmed down became more and more hard in training, and coupled with the training attitude of the machine gunners as an example, the XXS in this month was like an evolution, and the level soared again.

Ana's 2v2 ability on the wing is indeed much better than his mid solo, but it doesn't help at all.

But any team that has played against IG knows that IG's disadvantage is two man-eating monsters. Even with their online abilities, the duo of XXS and boboka will feel a lot of pressure, and they will always have to choose heroes such as ants, trolls, and electric souls to deal with.

Serenity can do that, OG can't.

Under OG's four-guarantee and one-tier system, most of ANA's hero choices are ghosts and TB, which are known for their late-stage abilities, at the cost of weak online abilities.

This tactical style of play and hero selection is something that OG has always adhered to, and it can't be reversed in just one or two games. There is only one result, and that is that OG's advantage lane has been completely exploded.

A XXS that has no fertilizer solution since the alignment period can bring too much effect to IG.

Although the S4 dragged the machine gunner, why can't it be said that the machine gunner dragged the S4?

In two consecutive games, IG broke through from the disadvantaged road, and then used XXS's equipment advantage to lead the team to fight and take the initiative early. You must know that in the game of Dota, the position with the strongest combat effectiveness for about 10 minutes is the third position except for the middle laner.

With the two sides playing each other's mid laners, XXS became the only one who could control the situation.

OG can't hold on!

The 2:0 result was predictable, and IG's style of play and tactical focus perfectly restrained OG. Even to a certain extent, if you can continue to play the current style, IG is the most restrained OG team.

The two semi-finals came to an end, and the sailors waiting for the final in the live broadcast room were extremely relaxed.

"Serenity is awesome! IG awesome! ”

"Good guys, the final is another civil war!"

"There's nothing to see about the civil war, brothers, I'll sleep first."

In just one month, the two major tournaments in the finals were all from the Chinese region, which made domestic players very proud and even had the intention of playing stalks.

"I feel distressed, and I'm going to be tortured again."

If it is the VP who meets IG, then Noone in the middle lane will definitely be more uncomfortable than his big brother in the dominant lane.

Don't ask, it's disgusting to ask.

Although Jingzhun found another way and found a solution, he did not approve of it in his heart.

However, in the lounge, when he learned that the next opponent would be IG, Kyung Joon's expression did not change, but Charles on the side laughed evilly: "Hehe! Here's the opportunity, Brother Zhun! ”

"Hmm." Kyung Joon nodded and looked at Charles with a look called trust, "It's up to you!" ”

Charles was shocked and eagerly said, "Don't worry! Wrap it up on me! ”

For the upcoming finals, Serenity is in a fairly flat mindset. To be honest, the outcome of the final has little impact on Serenity today.

Of the three majors so far this season, two championships and one has been finalized. As long as there are no personnel changes or other moths in serenity in the next few months, serenity has confirmed that a TI direct invitation spot has been booked in advance.

Super also showed a rare relaxed expression, looking at Charles amusedly, and recalling the scene of the previous night.

……

"Brother Zhun, if you play IG in the final, I have a plan to ensure that you blow up the machine gunner in the middle lane!"

In the training room, Charles said to Kyung Joon with a hint of pride.

Jing Zhun listened to Charles's brainless words, blinked, and didn't react for a while: "What way?" ”

Seeing that Jing Zhun didn't say anything, Charles collapsed his face: "Brother Zhun, I said it before, you forgot?!" ”

"You said that?" Kyungjoon was a little surprised and quickly remembered.

In the previous discussion of IG play, serenity came up with roughly three plans, of course, counting the current play of countering violence with violence, there are already four.

Reducing speed to four to one, the fourth position is diligent and wandering support, and the other is ......

"Kill the chicken?!" Kyung Joon suddenly realized, and his expression suddenly became a little surprised, "Yes, messenger!" The key is the messenger! ”

Yes, why did the machine gunners dare to fight like that, isn't it just that there are messengers to deliver supplies continuously?

Couriers have always been the key to mid-laner matching, and even players of average level know how deadly a courier can be to hit a mid-laner by killing a courier at the beginning.

"You're yours, Charles!" Kyung Joon patted Charles on the shoulder with some excitement, causing the latter to scratch his head in embarrassment.

There may have been a funny element in Charles's suggestion, but it did inspire Kyungjoon.

Serenity's biggest advantage over other teams is in the midfield. And when encountering the machine gunner, if you can keep the middle lane, Serenity even has the capital to give up the other way.

If you plan to do so, there are too many heroes who can kill the Courier in the early stages. The medicine jar machine gunner is indeed a headache, but if you choke the IG's messenger and make him unable to get supplies, will the machine gunner still be able to line up with Kyung Junn?

He can't fight! You don't have that ability to know, do you?

Prior to this, Kyung Joon was still thinking about where V Society would start after the Kyiv Major to sanction the unscrupulous water ghost mid laner in the professional game, and even occasionally worried that V Society would irresponsibly start with hero strength or the price of consumables, which would bring too much change.

Charles's suggestion made Kyung Joon suddenly brighten!

Although I don't know how V Society will adjust, Kyung Joon doesn't mind sending answers to V Society through a match with IG.

The key lies in the Messenger.

Compared to the hero strength tweak, the changes to the courier obviously seem more technical and will also be more effective in improving the current mid lane matchmaking!
