Chapter 63: The Game
In the first round of the lower bracket, Phoenix played against Liquid.
According to the schedule of the organizers, the first round of the lower bracket is BO1.
A winner-taker.
The winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated directly.
It's not cruel.
Unlike BO3 or BO5, in BO1 there is no opportunity for either side to adjust or breathe.
The slightest mistake can be a catastrophe.
Since it is BO1, the two sides do not use a coin toss or roll point to determine the edge selection and BP order.
Rather, it is randomly assigned through the system.
In this match, Phoenix was placed on the Dire side and did not have the advantage of being the first to pick the BAN.
Enter the BP phase.
Team Liquid's first-hand BAN dropped the Great Sage, which is a version of the popular hero and is in the position of a non-BAN pick.
The strength of the Great Sage is too high, especially in the No. 4 position, his mobility and wandering ability are simply incomprehensible. Therefore, this version, whether it is a domestic team or a foreign team, has figured out a set of great sage play.
Liquid was in the position of BAN first, and they banned the Great Sage first, obviously this one was going to play other systems, and they didn't want to leave the Great Sage to Phoenix.
Phoenix, on the other hand, was not to be outdone, and banned the elves for the first time.
The elf is the best skill of the No. 4 player on the opposite side, GH, and it must not be released.
"Second hand BAN what?" As a BP player, Liuliu needs to ask his teammates for advice.
At this stage, they have a lot of options, and they can choose to continue to ban G's unique heroes, such as Mavericks, or Prophets.
Or BAN to get rid of the other big brother's specialty hero.
You can also follow your own established strategy to ban heroes who are more restrained by your own system.
"BAN Carl." Lin Feng spoke.
Liuliu didn't seem to hear clearly, looked at Lin Feng, and confirmed again: "Brother Feng, are you sure?" They wouldn't necessarily pick Karl, would they? ”
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all, his tone was firm, and he said: "In the BO1 competition, they will choose first, and they will definitely take their own unique heroes." ”
"Carl of Brother Miracle, you can't put it."
For a long time, Brother Miracle was synonymous with Carl as a hero. On various video websites, there are all kinds of wonderful competitions and highlights of Miracle Gokal.
Some fans even gave Carl of Brother Miracle a proper noun - Miracle Card.
In the first two years, it was precisely because of the perverted performance of the miracle card that it attracted the attention of the ice frog, and finally in version 7.0, the ice frog made a move on Carl.
This knife almost cut off Carl's waist.
Still, Carl of Brother Miracle is not to be underestimated.
Lin Feng is also a Carl player himself, and he clearly knows what kind of disaster a unique Carl player will bring to the game.
So, since you can't choose it, you must destroy him.
"Team Phoenix's BAN lost Carl, and it seems that they are also afraid." DC said.
"No way, Carl from Brother Miracle, it's too perverted." Bicycle echoes.
Subsequently, the second hand of the Liquid team BAN dropped the mammoth, which is also the strong No. 3 position of the version. Immediately afterwards, the Centaur Warrior was chosen for the first time, which is also the popular No. 3 position in the version.
"Let's snatch the light. Can't give them away. "Sixty-six proposed.
The light method is the hero of the opposite No. 4 player GH, and he can't let the opponent hold it comfortably.
"MD, there's too much to do." Pillow scolded with a smile.
Immediately, Phoenix chose the light method with the first hand, and took out the puppy in the second hand, which was also a version of the powerful CARRY.
BP is like that, don't go against the version.
Head iron, is no good.
Liquid is in the second hand and takes out Dazzle, a very powerful hero who protects people.
"What do you mean by taking Daze? Is it four guarantees and one of them? Liuliu asked.
Dai Ze, a hero, with a powerful core, will be very strong in combat.
Since this is the case, then I want BAN to get rid of the big brother who is more compatible with Dai Ze.
"BAN, DROP THE TERROR BLADE." Lin Feng reminded.
The hero of the Terror Blade is very terrifying after it is formed. The point is that this hero is very restrained from the puppies he chooses.
Phoenix's fourth hand continued to BAN off the little Naga who restrained his eldest brother.
Liquid, on the other hand, has banned two No. 34 slots one after another: Axe King and Xiaoqiang. These two heroes can be matched with my sister-in-law.
Liquid's idea is simple, it's not to give the puppy a ride.
Next, it was Phoenix's turn to choose the third hero, and they did not hesitate at all and decisively chose the Sand King.
This is for his eldest brother puppy, with a car.
On Liquid's side, choose Rubick, a jack-of-all-trades support hero.
The fourth hand choice, Phoenix did not hesitate, decisively pointed out the big fishman, and equipped the puppy with a car.
And the big fishman has armor reduction skills, and he works very well with puppies.
Liquid's fourth-hand choice was unexpected, and they chose the Alchemist.
"Alchemy is in the middle? Or big brother? They don't have a rhythm in the early stage. Liuliu analyzed.
"BAN, THEIR BIG BROTHER." Meng Tao said.
"Which one?"
"Ants."
"Okay."
The last BAN slot, Liquid is reserved for the Lumberjack, and it's still a number three.
The two sides are left with only one last hand to choose.
Liquid hesitated for a long time, and when the spare time was about to run out, he chose Juggernaut.
On Phoenix's side, there is still a mid-laner hero.
In this game, the two sides did not BP too much for the mid lane, so many mid laner heroes were still placed outside. There are many options for Phoenix.
"Brother Feng, what will you get?" Liuliu asked.
Sometimes there are so many choices that you don't know how to choose.
Judging from the current situation, Phoenix can choose a strong hero in the early stage such as Fire Girl or Fire Cat, or it can choose a more developed mid-laner like Blue Cat.
"How about another car for Brother Tao?" Lin Feng looked at Meng Tao.
"Blue cat?" Six-six will understand immediately.
"Yes."
The last hand was chosen, and the lineups of both sides were released.
Liquid: Juggernaut, Alchemist, Centaur Warrior, Rubick, Dazzle
Dire (Phoenix): Puppy, Blue Cat, Fishman, Sand King, Light Law
"Phoenix picked three cars this round." On the analysis table, Mr. DC was happy.
"Blue cats, big fish people, and sand kings, they're going to pull up the rhythm."
"Overall, their lineup is quite comfortable."
"The key is to see if they can withstand the development of alchemists." The bike immediately points to the point.
The Alchemist is a hero who is quick to make money, if he can't choke this point. Once the alchemy equipment is formed, Phoenix's lineup is very difficult to deal with.
"There is also the point of Dai Ze, the thin burial of Dai Ze in the early stage is a bit incomprehensible."
"Overall, the two sides have their strengths and weaknesses in each other's lineups."
"It's up to the two sides to play."
"If Phoenix can hold down the alchemist in the early stages, the game will be very good."
"If you can't hold it down, it's hard to say whether this game will be won or lost."
"Alright, let's hand over the next game to the commentary table."
"I look forward to a wonderful performance from both sides."
