"Congratulations TS, it's another 2:0!"

longdd smiled happily and asked knowingly, "Eh, sailors, have you lost TS this time?" ”

"I haven't lost, Serenity is awesome!"

"This version of TS is stronger, put it over."

"Damn, who can beat this TS!"

The new version of Serenity is a bit too powerful, no matter who the opponent is, no matter what kind of play the opponent comes up with, Serenity can always find the perfect solution and respond to the opponent's challenge with a ruthless crush.

In front of Serenity, all beings are equal, and whoever comes is 2:0.

Even if it is as strong as that, after overturning EG 2:0 to enter the finals, it still lost to serenity with a disparity of 0:3 and was the runner-up.

So far, serenity has won all major championships this season, and as long as it is playing, it has never lost the crown, making history since the beginning of TI.

And those who have not been involved in the championship have nothing to regret, because a few days after the end of the epicenter cup, the direct invitation list of TI7 has finally been released in the long wait, and it is impressively listed!

In addition to Serenity, which was the first to be invited early, a total of six teams from all regions also competed for direct invitations after a full season of hard work.

They are:

The runner-up of the Asian Invitational Tournament and the Epicenter Cup are also from the teams in the Chinese region;

The runner-up of the Kyiv Major, the third runner-up of the Asian invitation, and the top six of the Epicenter Cup, the IG team from the China Division;

The runner-up of the Boston Major, the third runner-up of the Asian Invitational Tournament, and the top six of the Epicenter Cup, OG teams from the European region;

Although there were some highs and lows, they reached the top six in all four major events, dominating the North American region with the dominant EG team;

The results of the competition are on par with EG, and the VP team that played better and more consistently in the second half of the tournament than in the first half;

Finally, Team Liquid, who had just reached the semifinals in the Epicenter Cup and eliminated VP by hand.

After the direct invitation list was released, it caused a lot of controversy among the player base around the world.

, IG, OG and EG are not surprising to be invited, as these teams have been worthy of direct invitations even in the past.

However, VP and Liquid, the two teams that took the last train, are a bit unworthy of their name, they have never touched the top three in this season's tournament, and in their opinion, these two teams can get a direct invitation, which is completely taking advantage of the invitation system!

[First release on this site, the fastest update]

For a time, the rhetoric of abolishing the "invitation system" and switching to other selection methods intensified.

This is not unreasonable, because when the initial decision to hold TI was made, V did not take the competitive aspect too seriously, but focused more on promoting Dota 2 and diverting the attention of players and pros from the humble RPG map to a new game that was completely independent.

But with the development of so many years, TI's prize money and the status of this event have become higher and higher, and both players and spectators want to see a more objective and fair selection method.

V couldn't help but start to reflect on whether the model of quota selection that he had always adhered to was really no longer suitable, but in any case, it was impossible for TI7's arrangement to change again, and all adjustments would be carried out next season.

In addition to the direct invitation, the arrangements for the qualifiers were also announced, and similarly, the arrangement of the qualifiers this time also caused dissatisfaction among players and players in Southeast Asia.

They found that they had one less place than in previous years!

Can this be endured?

"Why are we missing one spot? Wasn't it all three before? ”

"I can still accept three qualifiers in China and Europe, so why do we have one more place in the Americas than us? Are they awesome? ”

Such remarks were relatively mild, until the angry Southeast Asian players broke out a shocking statement:

"V Society is discriminating against us?!"

Involving this, V Society had to spend a lot of effort to calm it down, and this also made them determined to completely abandon the invitation system after the end of TI7 and reform the selection model.

Unlike Southeast Asian players, China is full of jubilation.

Three direct invitations! This is unprecedented!

"Brothers, was the place in Southeast Asia snatched by Serenity?"

"It seems that yes, there will be a total of 6 teams in China this year."

"! So much? ”

"Hey, why do you want so much, it's enough to have serenity, okay, this year's iron champion."

"I announce that this year's champion has gone to serenity, TI doesn't need to fight, just send the champion shield to the serenity base!"

"Don't milk, don't milk, TI should have another update before, and it must be for serenity."

"It's grandma's at every turn, can you understand the game? Do you know how strong Serenity is? ”

Some people are still too full, and they even start arguing about whether serenity can win the championship before TI even starts, which makes the major forum communities a miasma.

However, these controversies have also disappeared with the release of a new patch from V Society.

The update after the epicenter cup is not a new version of 7.07, but a numerical adjustment for 7.06. A series of hard mechanics such as the Shrine have not been revised, and V Club apparently thinks that the 5-minute CD at the beginning is also reasonable.

The courier's movement speed has been partially reversed, from 280 to 320. This is not exactly a tweak to the mid lane, but in the feedback from the 7.06 update during this time, it was found that the slow courier movement speed had too much of an impact on the lane of the side lane.

In addition to the above changes, some heroes' abilities and panel stats have also undergone some adjustments, and overall this patch is only a minor balance change.

This means that Serenity escaped!

"Good news! Serenity has not been nerfed! ”

"Invincible okay, don't talk about my milk, I feel like this year's TI champion has been decided!"

"This year will definitely break the spell!!"

"Don't forget to talk to IG, the Chinese team is really strong this year!"

The so-called curse, also known as the "even-numbered year curse", refers to the fact that in the first six TIs, the Chinese team won the championship in every even-numbered year, while the results in odd-numbered years were generally poor. 1

TI1 aside, the Alliaongfu team was expected to reach the final day at the time of TI3, but was forcibly stopped by Dendi's spring hook when the situation was good.

At TI5, the Chinese team was even more desperate, if it weren't for the amazing potential of CDEC, which had been qualified as a wild card, to reach the finals, I am afraid that that year would have become a nightmare for all Chinese teams.

Although there is no basis for this statement, many people really believe it. So before Serenity came out, there were quite a few over-the-top players who weren't optimistic about the prospects of the Ti7.

Who would have thought that in the most vulnerable odd-numbered years, Chinese players would be more confident, even more than ever.

And most of this confidence comes from the invincible serenity!

However, as the biggest favorites to win the championship, the turmoil of public opinion did not disrupt the pace of serenity, and they still maintained their normal training schedule, moving forward step by step towards the first TI since the establishment of the team.

Kyungjoon never believed in spells, he only believed that hard work would not betray him.

Thinking back to last year's slightly gloomy departure and envy of Wings, Kyung Joon also held his breath in his heart.

This time, don't leave any regrets!
