April 24th.

At 2 p.m. local time, the Kyiv Grand Championship ushered in the first round of the group stage.

In order to shorten the schedule, in the first round of the group stage, 16 teams drew lots in pairs, and 8 matches were played at the same time.

Each match is BO3, and after the first round is all played, the next round of grouping will be played.

Team Phoenix's opponent in the first round was Team UZ.

This is a team from Europe, one of the lesser-known ones in the Dota 2 project.

I don't know why, they turned out to be in the ranks of direct invitations.

Before the game, Lin Feng and several teammates deliberately conducted an investigation, collected various information about the uz team, and then browsed the opponent's recent games.

To their surprise, this uz team turned out to be quite promising.

Team UZ is a traditional esports powerhouse in Europe, starting as a CS team and then developing into a club involved in multiple competitions.

Their Dota 2 division has a long history.

Even earlier than most Dota 2 teams in the country.

In 2012, Team UZ established the Dota 2 division.

In the years since, the team has undergone many turnovers. After inquiring about history, Lin Feng learned that there were many old acquaintances among the historical members of this ancient European team.

Among their earliest group of players, there was a little B god who later became famous-BCK.

And now the captain of Team Liquid, Kky.

After 2013, FATA and SEY joined successively.

"It's all old B." Lin Feng looked at the list and couldn't help but sigh.

Most of the above people have become the mainstay of various teams, and they have also won countless results.

However, these results have nothing to do with Team UZ.

Since the formation of the Dota 2 division, this team has not achieved a good result.

The current members of the UZ team are five lads from Greece, who only joined the team at the beginning of April this year.

It is such a team that has just been reorganized and has no historical achievements that it was directly invited by the organizers of the event, which cannot be said not to be strange.

"The host team? Or is it working behind the scenes? Lin Feng didn't know the answer.

Whatever the reason, what they have to do is actually very simple - play seriously and not take it lightly.

At the beginning of the first game, the domestic broadcaster broadcast the whole process.

In charge of the commentary of this game, it is Stanny and AA.

In this game, Team UZ chose the Radiant side, and Team Phoenix was on the Dire side.

bp begins.

Since the opponent is the latest team to complete the reorganization, there are very few matches that can be used as a sample for analysis. Team Phoenix can only play BP based on the few races they can find.

It has the advantage of being banned first.

As soon as the Phoenix team came up, they banned the elves and the big tree one after another, which were two supports.

Moreover, it is the hero that this uz team has used a lot of times.

On the UZ team's side, they have obviously done their homework, and they have banned the Legion Commander and the Ice Maiden in the first two hands.

These are the 3 and 5 slots that are commonly used by the Phoenix team.

In the selection process, because I couldn't figure out the opponent's routine, the Phoenix team decided to focus on me and play my own things.

In the first two hands, they took out the Great Fishman and the Vengeful Spirit.

This is a two-handed swing position, the big fishman can play 3 or 4, and the vengeful soul can play the 1 position or the 5 position.

It's a safer option.

On the UZ team's side, they chose the Great Sage and Magnus.

"The selection of the uz team is quite in the style of our domestic team." After AA saw it, he couldn't help but sigh.

Since the major version update, the domestic team has been very fond of the No. 4 hero, and Magnus is also the No. 3 hero that many domestic teams are keen on.

Entering the three or four hand bans, the Phoenix team banned Juggernaut and Fire Cat.

On the UZ side, Puppy and Abaddon were banned.

"The big fishman with the dog is gone, let's see how the Phoenix team responds." Stanley analyzed.

The other party's ban was completely expected by Lin Feng and the others.

In this version, the combination of big fish people and small dogs, the strong team is very large, and it is almost impossible to choose.

However, they have their own backup schemes.

Immediately, the ant and light method were selected.

"Big brother ant, or No. 4 ant?" AA was a little confused, and then said, "Actually, think about it, both options are feasible."

"Team Phoenix is still swaying until now."

It was the turn of the UZ team to choose a man, and they quickly took out Dazzle and the Terror Blade. This is a commonly used combination of advantageous lanes, and many domestic teams are also using it.

The last hand of the ban, the Phoenix team gave ta.

Team UZ, on the other hand, banned Carl.

"Here, the uz team is still not worried about Carl of Vigoss." Stanny had an expected expression and analyzed: "After the Asian Invitational Tournament, Vigoss's Carl has been side by side with the Miracle Card."

"Right now, a lot of teams are reluctant to let Vigoss play Carl."

"No way." AA continued, emphatically speaking, "Some heroes, in the hands of some players, he is another hero."

"What should be respected, what should be respected."

Now, only one last hand remains.

Team Phoenix had to make their last move.

"On Phoenix's side, there should still be a mid-laner hero missing. Similarly, the uz team also has one less midlaner. Stanley analyzed, pointing out the key points of the situation on the field.

"However, the last move of the UZ team is the last choice."

"They can choose a hero who can restrain the opponent's mid lane according to the actual situation."

"After all, there are still a lot of mid-laner heroes who have been put outside."

On the Phoenix side, it didn't take much time, and their BP strategy was already discussed before the game.

Subsequently, Shadow Fiend was chosen.

"Shadow Fiend?" Stanny reacted and said, "They banned Ta and Fire Cat to clear the way for Shadow Fiend."

"Big Fishman, Vengeful Spirit, Ants, and Shadow Fiend, this is a complete set of nail reduction." AA analyzes the lineup of the Phoenix team.

Then he sighed: "If they reduce their armor in this set, even if they are heroes with such high terror blade armor, their armor will have to be reduced to a negative number."

While the two commentators were analyzing, the last hero of the UZ team was also finalized.

Parker!

As soon as he saw this hero, Stany became worried and said, "The uz team really chose a hero who is good at fighting Shadow Demon, Parker is still a big advantage when he fights Shadow Demon."

"But it's not that big." On the other hand, partner AA had a different opinion, saying: "If you can't beat Parker on the Shadow Demon line, you can transfer to the jungler, which is a matter of a few mangoes."

"Shadow Fiend is a hero, you can press him online, but you can't affect his development."

Subsequently, the hero is chosen.

Radiant (UZ): Terrorblade, Parker, Magnus, Great Sage, Dazzle

Dire (Phoenix): Ant, Shadow Fiend, Fishman, Light, Vengeful Spirit

On the Phoenix team's side, Meng Tao is in charge of the big brother ant, and the soul of revenge is transferred to the No. 5 position.

The game has officially begun.

According to the established strategy, the Phoenix team chose to go to Gangsan.

Led by the big fish man with the pillow, with Liuliu's light method and Chubby's vengeful soul, go down.

Suppress the development of the opponent's terror blade.

And Meng Tao's eldest brother Ant is on the road with the other party Magnus solo.

Lin Feng manipulated the Shadow Demon, and after eating the bounty talisman, he came to the middle lane and began to align with each other.

Due to the disadvantage of the initial attack power, Level 1 Shadow Fiend is actually not easy to match with Parker.

However, after the first wave of soldiers, Lin Feng estimated the approximate strength of the other party.

The opponent Parker, there is no suppressive force on the line.

Lin Feng's knife that should be replenished was not missing, and the amount of blood was not consumed much. The two sides turned out to be the rhythm of peaceful development.

"This Parker isn't fun." Stanny looked at the middle lane and said, "You didn't fight fiercely in the first two levels, but now that the Shadow Demon level is up, you can't hold it down."

"Now, Vigoss is going to put Parker's HP down in turn."

On the other side, the commentator AA cooperated: "It's been 4 minutes, and Shadow Fiend has even 2 more mending knives than Parker."

In other words, this Parker was selected and did not play as well as it should. ”

At the same time, down the road.

The Phoenix trio has already achieved a huge lane advantage.

The spirit of revenge hammered first, the big fishman stepped on it with his hand, and the light law pushed the wave one after another.

A set of o go down, and within 4 minutes, kill the opponent's terror blade twice in a row. It wasn't until the other party, Dai Ze, was promoted to level 2 and [Thin Burial] was added that this situation was alleviated.

However, it only guarantees that the Terrorblade will not die.

Under the suppressive power of the Great Fish Man and the Vengeful Spirit, the opponent's Terror Blade is now worse than dead.

The game time came to 5 minutes.

The big fishman with the pillow is powerful in the lower lane, and has already got 21 positive supplements, plus 10 counter-supplements.

On the other hand, the terrifying blades of the uz team only have a pitiful 3 refill knives.

5 minutes, 3 positive stops.

Terrorblade doesn't look like a big brother at all, and can only smell the experience in the back.

"It's blowing up down the road."

Stanny was already smiling evilly at this time, and couldn't help but gloat: "To be honest, since I commented on the game, I have never seen such a miserable advantage."

"This terrifying blade, it's better to change the way directly."

Another commentator AA sighed: "The basic skills of the UZ team are still a little worse. It stands to reason that you have the Great Sage and Dai Ze, and the Terror Blade is completely mixed. ”

"As a result, he died twice in a row. When the level of the big fishman is high, you won't be able to beat the terrifying blade at all. ”

This side of the road.

Meng Tao's ants and the other party, Magnus, went head-to-head, and the situation was small. Two heroes, can be regarded as peaceful development.

Subsequently, the two teams entered the rhythm of swiping money.

The Phoenix team, on their side, is waiting for the pillow to brush out the jumping knife. As the absolute first point in the lineup, the big fishman's jumping knife is crucial.

The uz team, on the other hand, is waiting for Magnus and Parker's rhythm.

Soon, the game time was 13 minutes.

Lin Feng's total economy of Shadow Demon has reached 6,000, ranking first in the audience.

He completely brought out the characteristics of the fast development of the hero of the Shadow Demon, and after the line period, the line field was double-harvested, and the money was flying.

After controlling the speed rune, he also went to the lower road to swim in a wave, and caught the opponent's terrifying blade in the wild area.

Subsequently, after finding a few waves of rhythm, the two sides began to move to arresting people.

The uz team took advantage of the transformation of the Terror Blade and pushed all the way to the second tower of the Dire side.

At this time, they Parker, Magnus, and Dazzle were all there.

After seeing the position of the opponent's light law, Parker actually went around the tower directly, just wanting to kill. Seeing Parker rushing forward, the other three brothers also pressed forward and entered the attack range of the tower.

At this moment, Lin Feng's shadow demon tp down.

He was in the shadows of the woods, stuck in his field of vision, and shook it directly.

"Boom!"

Terrifying soul energy poured out from his body, scattering in all directions, pouring into the Radiant Side Hero's body.

Since there was no shadow demon's vision, several members of the uz team didn't take precautions at all, and they ate a shadow demon strongly.

Seeing the remnants of the opponent's terrifying blade, Chubby's vengeful soul made a decisive move, changed it to the back of the defense tower, and then turned around with a hammer.

Lin Feng turned around, fired two cannons, and took it away.

Then, chase after it with your teammates all the way, and then take away Dai Ze's head.

Double Kill!

At the end of the team battle, the Phoenix team explained the method of losing light and changed the opponent's No. 135 position.

Big Money!

"Chubby's hand change is very in place." Stanny spoke quickly, explained the situation on the field, and said: "Disrupted the opponent's formation, so that Dazzer couldn't give skills."

"Shouldn't the most important thing be Vigoss's ultimate? His wave is full. ”

In the ensuing game, it was the Phoenix team that unilaterally suppressed time.

After the big fishman took out the jumping knife, their main rhythm points were ready.

In 18 minutes, Lin Feng's Shadow Demon was equipped with a hidden knife and a demon dragon spear, and the total economy was as high as 11,000.

Leave the opponent's terrifying blade behind him from afar.

Subsequently, the five members of the Phoenix team opened the fog and went straight to Roshan.

The big fishman lights the lamp, the vengeful soul [Terror Fluctuation], the ants release locusts, and the Shadow Demon's passive armor reduction.

Before Team UZ realized it, they quickly knocked out Roshan.

Lin Feng Shadow Demon with a shield.

"Push directly in the middle lane." Lin Feng commanded.

Immediately, after the Phoenix team took out the opponent's middle lane tower, they took advantage of the situation to push the lane to the second tower, and then began to push the middle lane tower flat.

What depends on is that the opponent's combat power is not in contrast to his own.

The other party's terrorist blade has not yet made a BKB, and there is no capital to take over the group head-on.

On the Phoenix team's side, Chubby's light method has already bare out of the A staff. During the day, it has the advantage of 1800 yards of vision that ignores the terrain.

All the actions of the other party are in full view.

Pushing down the second tower in the middle lane of Radiance, the Phoenix team didn't want to retreat yet.

"Try touching the highlands?" Lin Feng asked his teammates.

"Try it, if it doesn't work, withdraw." Six-six replied that the two of them had the right to decide when it came to commanding the matter.

So, Lin Feng's Shadow Demon was the first, pushing the line to the high ground of the middle of the Radiant Road.

As soon as he touched the tower twice, the line was cleared by the opponent.

When the next line came, he stepped forward again.

As a result, it was the same situation again, and the line was quickly cleared. After three waves, he only wore out a third of the tower's HP.

At this time, the opponent's Terror Blade had already brought the lower lane of troops to the Dire Heights and began to dismantle the tower alone.

"3333, go back and guard it." Liuliu commanded.

The opponent's highland will not be able to be demolished for a while and a half, and if the opponent's terrorist blade is allowed to act, then his own highland may be gone.

While talking, Chubby's vengeful soul was the first TP.

Subsequently, there is the Great Fish Man and the Light Law.

After the vengeful spirit returned to the highlands, he directly struck the [Terror Wave] in the woods below the highlands, and found the Terror Blade that was returning to the city, so he shouted: "Leave him behind, come on."

The big fishman arrived, followed by a footstep, and the light method was output in the heel.

The scene of the confrontation period is repeated, and the Terrorblade is once again killed by the three Phoenix brothers.

While the opponent was bringing the shield, the UZ team did not have the slightest intention to take over the group, but was just leading the line everywhere and pushing the line away from their own high ground.

On the Phoenix side, the Phoenix team is arresting people everywhere.

First, he caught Daze and Parker, who led the other party's line, on the road, and then caught the terror blade to supplement the economy in the wild area.

In 27 minutes, Lin Feng's Shadow Demon had already obtained the prosthetic leg, the magic dragon gun, the BKB, the hidden knife and the butterfly.

The overall economy is far ahead of the other big brother.

At this time, the overall economy of the Phoenix team is 12,000 ahead of the opponent, and the advantage is infinite.

After another unsuccessful attempt, they realized that going hard was not the way to go. So, turn around and come to the Roshan Pit, make a good view of the surroundings, and prepare to lay down a Roshan shield.

However, the uz team also knows that this shield cannot be put.

They chose to take the initiative to fight.

The Roshan shield was fought very quickly, and after Lin Feng's shadow demon brought the second-generation shield, he walked out of the Roshan pit and wanted to make the next move.

At this point, the situation changed dramatically.

"Team UZ is here." AA quickly explained the situation on the field, and spoke like a cannon.

"Magnus has a hidden knife, jump, step."

"Perfectly big."

Magnus stepped on the Shadow Fiend, the Vengeful Spirit, and the Law of Light, and arched back. The Great Sage released the monkey formation and took another baton. Terrorblade opens BKB and starts outing. ”

"The vengeful soul and the light law fell first, and the shadow demon was also set on fire."

"As soon as the Phoenix team started, it was beaten by three people. Luckily, Shadow Fiend still has a shield on him. ”

On another battlefield, Meng Tao's ants chased the other side Dai Ze to death, and the big fishman on the pillow was wrestling with the other party, Parker.

Five seconds later, the Lin Feng Shadow Demon resurrected.

He immediately jacked up the bkb and began to stand and jerk.

"Shadow Fiend's output is very high." AA is still commenting and broadcasting the battle situation on the spot.

"I hit the Terror Blade to the remnants of blood, and after a C shot, the Terror Blade died."

"Go back and fight against the Great Sage, and the ants on the other side are also following the output."

"The big fishman jumped and stepped on, and the shadow demon took the output again, and slapped the great sage to death."

At this point, the team battle has become an endgame.

The other party, Parker and Magnus, cut in for the second time, and at this time, Lin Feng's shadow demon BKB time ended.

He knew he couldn't go, so he stood there decisively and shot the last bit of output out, knocking Parker to the point of blood.

Subsequently, he was taken away by Magnus.

However, at the moment of his death, terrifying soul energy poured out of the Shadow Fiend's body and hit the remnant of the blood Parker, taking him away.

Triple kill!

At the end of the team battle, it was the ants and big fishmen on the side of the Phoenix team, chasing the remaining Magnus of the opponent, all the way from the middle lane to the second tower on the upper road.

In the end, Magnus Hidden Knife CD turned around and finally escaped.

"This team fight is very fierce." Stanny began his post-fight analysis, saying, "The key is that the terrain is too good for the UZ.

This Magnus big move, pick up the Great Sage, and then pick up Parker. ”

"The whole thing is a prison."

Beside Stanny, the commentator AA was also apprehensive, and couldn't help but say: "This wave of Phoenix team is very dangerous, and it was beaten by the other party to make a perfect start."

If it weren't for Vigoss's shadow demon equipment leading too much and carrying a shield on his body, this wave of regiments would definitely lose. ”

"Fortunately, Vigoss finally killed the other three heroes."

After Lin Feng was resurrected, the Phoenix team began to attack again.

They fog up their triangle and pounce all the way to the main Radiant jungle.

first caught Dai Ze, who was playing information at the intersection, and then pursued all the way to find the opponent's terrifying blade.

The uz team had no choice but to turn around and take over the group, but they were beaten 1 for 4.

Now that the game has been played, the Phoenix team finally has a chance to go to the top.

"Mid lane, middle lane." Lin Feng commanded as he brought the line up.

Soon, they pushed off the opposing mid lane. At this time, several heroes on the other side have been resurrected.

"Withdraw a wave, go and knock out their altar first." Lin Feng's thinking is very clear.

The second high ground is still difficult to climb, but the altar located in the wilderness is easy to knock down.

They turned back and came to the Radiant main jungle area, and first pushed off the altar of the opponent's main jungle area. Then, all the way up, push off the Radiant Triangle Altar again.

At this point, the Phoenix team uprooted all the buildings in the opponent's high ground.

The economic lead has also reached a terrifying 23,000.

The game time came to 34 minutes, and Lin Feng's Shadow Demon took out another large piece of equipment - Satan.

In terms of basic stats, it provides 25% lifesteal.

When active, it can increase the lifesteal effect to 200% for 6 seconds.

The release of Satan has greatly improved the endurance of Lin Feng's shadow demon. Now, even if he is tough with the opponent's terror blade without BKB, he has the advantage.

The situation on the scene has become a four-one zone.

Meng Tao's ants took their three younger brothers and looked for opportunities on the map.

Lin Feng's Shadow Demon is a single person with a line, ready to support at any time.

"Found TB." At this time, Chubby's voice came.

The four of them found the upper road from the triangle area, and finally found the other big brother TB in the woods where the Radiant was on the upper road.

"Brother Feng, ready. I'll pull you over. Liuliu said.

The skill [Recall] of the Light Law can pull your teammates to your side.

This is also the reason why they dare to separate the belt line.

Lin Feng's Shadow Demon instantly teleported from the location of the second tower in the middle of the Radiant Road to the side of the Light Law.

As soon as possible, rush to the battlefield.

At this time, the terror blade has been controlled. So far in the game, there is still no BKB on him, only two large pieces of the doppelganger axe and the ice eye.

Seeing this, Lin Feng decisively followed the output and beat the opponent to the residual blood in a few strokes.

He also did not choose to hand over his BKB.

At this time, the rest of the uz team rushed to the rescue. Terrorblade uses its ultimate to exchange the Shadow Demon's blood.

"Shadow Demon turns on Satan and masturbates with TB. One, two, three, the amount of blood is full. "AA's mouth is fast and in rush mode.

"TB was set on fire in seconds."

"The uz team can't play."

Without TB as the main output point, there is no suspense in team battles.

After the Phoenix team pursued and killed Magnus and the Great Sage, they once again stood on the opponent's high ground and bulldozed the opponent's upper ground on the high ground.

At this time, the economic gap between the two sides has become difficult to bridge.

After losing another wave of team fights, Team UZ finally chose to knock out GG.

“gg”

Stanny immediately cheered, high-fived his partner, and celebrated, "Congratulations to Team Phoenix, who got off to a great start and won their first major in Kyiv."

"Next, there is a second game between the two sides."

"Let's look forward to their performances."
