Chapter 36: The Group Stage Begins

After a cordial and friendly exchange with S, Lin Feng came to the training room and began to debug the equipment.

The mouse and keyboard of professional players are all built-in.

After all, if you are used to it, changing other peripherals will affect the feel.

After a few simple rounds of solo play, it was already late.

Lin Feng closed the game and walked out of the training room.

As soon as he came out, he saw a thin teenager walking out of the room diagonally opposite.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the age of this teenager is very young.

He was thin and weak, with curly hair and a Middle Eastern face

Sue Hop!

Sumail。

Male, 18 years old.

North American overlord EG team player, TI5 champion midlaner.

He made his debut at the age of 16 and made a splash on the stage of the first Asia Invitational Tournament two years ago. Later, at the International Invitational Tournament that year, he made great progress and successfully won the championship.

A proper genius boy!

Because when he was in a single row of the national service ladder, he played passers-by and was arrogant, and was given the nickname by domestic fans: Su Jumping.

Meaning: This person is too jumpy.

Su Jump jumped out of the room and saw Lin Feng almost at the same time. But after just one glance, I stopped paying attention.

The person is very handsome, but I don't know him.

"Hey, Sumail." Lin Feng took the initiative to greet and greeted him.

Immediately after that, extend your right hand to the other person.

Sumail's eyes were full of surprise, and she looked at the other party's outstretched palm, stunned for a moment, and then shook hands with the other party in a restrained manner.

Shake hands together.

Lin Feng began to silently recite in his heart: "1, 2, 3,"

Skill stealing can also be used 1 time.,Now that you've met Su Jump.,Of course you have to use it.。

Sumail wanted to withdraw his palm, but he didn't know that the other side didn't let go.

A rare flush appeared on his face, and he couldn't help asking, "That, we know each other?" ”

At this time, Lin Feng finished his silent recitation and let go of his hand: "Hello, I am the middle laner of the Phoenix team. My name is Vigoss. ”

"Welcome to the magic capital, I hope this competition will have fun."

A standard set of greetings, flawless.

Sumail looked at the other person and said, "Okay, thank you." I hope you have fun too. ”

Subsequently, the two separated.

Lin Feng turned around and couldn't help but rejoice: fortunately, with the past English level, simple communication is still no problem.

He looked at the panel of his mind.

[Skill stealing successful.] 】

[Skill Acquired: Total Suppression]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Skill description: Mid-lane duel, fierce and fierce suppression, is an indispensable basic quality for a master.

The single kill against the line is always the most exciting scene. The so-called juvenile spirit is the same. 】

Immediately, a warm current came to mind.

The panel changes again.

Host: Lin Feng

Occupation ID: Vigoss

Responsiveness: 88 (85+3)

Alignment Capability: 95 (90+5)

Farm capacity: 85

Roaming Team Fights: 88 (85+3)

Race mentality: 98

Boy!

Lin Feng exclaimed again.

[Total Suppression] has directly increased his laning ability by 5 attribute points, and his reaction ability and teamfight entry have also increased by 3 points.

This time I used the skill, and sure enough, it was right.

However, the annoyance also followed: the skill steal was consumed again.

There is only one [Hand of God] left that can be used, and there is no need to use it for the time being.

You still have to brush up on points.

But he knew he was running out of time.

In the evening, the results of the competition grouping were released.

Twelve teams, divided into two groups of AB,

The first stage will be followed by a round-robin within the group. Each team needs to play 5 BO2s, with a win worth 3 points, a draw worth 1 point, and no points for the loser.

At the end of the group round-robin, the top two teams from each group will go directly to the knockout winner's bracket.

Group 3 to 6 to advance to the lower bracket of the knockout round.

According to the competition system, the first round of the lower bracket is a brutal BO1.

Therefore, getting more points in the group round-robin and aiming for a place in the knockout bracket is Phoenix's primary goal.

After all, there will be two lives.

In this competition, Phoenix was placed in Group A.

The teams in the same group are: OG, Imperial, WINGS, VGJ, and Faceless.

March 27 at 10 a.m.

The group stage of the Asian Invitational Tournament has officially begun.

Phoenix was the first to appear against the European powerhouse OG.

The group stage matches are played in a hotel.

The tournament organizers set aside several large rooms for the group stage.

Both sides of the match are in the same room and will not face each other.

In the room, there are dedicated cameramen and referees, as well as other event staff.

In the group stage matches, there is no cheating problem due to the supervision of offline referees.

Therefore, all matches in the group stage will be broadcast live on the network and the client simultaneously.

There is almost no delay.

Lin Feng came to the competition room, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to the referee for safekeeping.

Then take out the mouse and keyboard from the backpack and start debugging the machine.

The two sides are ready, and the game officially begins.

......

Entering the main competition, each game is accompanied by a special event commentary.

In the first game between Phoenix and OG, the commentators were Wind Memories and Monroc.

"Hello everyone. This is the first match of the 2nd Asian Invitational Group A group stage. Wind reminiscences for the opening remarks.

"The two sides of the match are the OG team from Europe and the Phoenix team from China."

"Before the game starts, let's take a look at the personnel introductions of both sides."

With the commentary prompt, the screen of the online live broadcast platform turned, and promotional photos of the members of the OG team appeared.

"Team OG, we're already familiar with it." Monrok said.

"They have had a great run of results in the Spring Majors and Autumn Majors over the past few years."

"The name of the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period resounded throughout the Dota session."

"After TI6 last year, they also made personnel changes. Now it seems that they have run in very well and have shown great strength in the first few games. ”

Subsequently, it was the OG team that went from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and there was no personal introduction of any player.

Including class ID, age, commonly used heroes, etc.

After introducing the OG team, the screen switches to the Phoenix team.

Feng Retrospective immediately introduced: "Phoenix team, we are also very familiar with it, because it is our domestic team. ”

"They've just made a personnel change."

"The original mid-laner Free left the team, and Vigoss joined Phoenix as a firefighter."

"And it's worth mentioning that this Phoenix team started from the domestic qualifier play-offs."

"Played all the way to the qualifiers, and then won the first place in the group, and broke through directly from the qualifiers."

"Yes." Monrok said.

"Their newcomer, Vigoss, played very well in the qualifiers."

"We're very impressed."

The on-site director is also very spiritual, and the screen is switched to V's introduction in time.

On the screen, Lin Feng is tall and upright, showing a cheerful smile.

Screen text introduction:

"Vigoss, Lin Feng."

"Position: Mid Single."

"Age: 19 years old."

"Good at heroes: Carl, Blue Cat, Fire Cat."

As soon as the picture came out, the major live broadcast platforms immediately exploded.

"I'll rub it, Takeshi Koganeshiro."

"I have to say, this guy is a little handsome."

"Brother, love love, love."

"It's really handsome, and it can be regarded as a good face in the professional circle."

"I declare that from today onwards, I am a Phoenix fan."

"If professional players are all of this kind of appearance, why worry about the domestic Dota is not popular."

"Handsome is handsome, compared to me, it's a little worse."

......

After the introduction of the players, the two sides entered the BP link.

The screen cuts back into the game.

Phoenix is BAN first.

In the first two hands, they chose BAN to get rid of each other's commonly used warlocks and earth cats.

The OG team directly BAN out of Carl and Shadow Fiend.

Very targeted.

Phoenix was in the first hand and chose Blue Fat.

OG chose Necrosaurus and Panda Brewmaster one after another.

"OG's attitude is very obvious, and he will show off his skills when he comes up." Wind recalled.

"Their Necrodragon has a very high win rate."

BP continues.

The OG team chose Sal and Blue Cat one after another.

Phoenix's side, after choosing the Wood Harvester and the Ice Girl, directly took down the fire cat for Lin Feng.

The blue cat in the middle lane fights the fire cat, and it is a classic line.

With the last hand, Phoenix chose an anti-mage for Meng Tao.

The OG team made the last move, and chose the Blood Fiend.
