Team Phoenix was in the break room until 5 p.m.

Several people are doing their own thing, waiting for the next round to begin.

This competition is abroad, without the company of Brother Halberd, Brother Stick, Brother Sword and others, the pillow looks boring.

He went out a few times, but after a while he came back with his head down, a little discouraged.

Apparently I didn't find anything interesting.

"The language barrier is a big problem." Lin Feng sighed in his heart.

The Major was held in the CIS region, and it was difficult to find an English-speaking person, except for a few staff members of the tournament organizers.

What's more, the English level of the pillow is limited to "yes, no, good".

After waiting in the lounge for a while, the staff came over to remind: "The next round of brackets has been released, and you can prepare for the game."

Several members of the Phoenix team immediately became interested.

"This format is really painful." The pillow is swearing.

"Okay, what's the use of just scolding people?" Lin Feng slapped the other party, but he quite agreed with the pillow's words.

After their first round, it was just over 3 o'clock. Since they had to wait for all the other teams' matches to finish, they had to wait in the break room for nearly 2 hours.

The point is, there are not many entertainment facilities in the lounge yet.

It's really just sitting down!

Well, now the next opponent is finally out.

Lin Feng got the matchup table for the second round of the match, and after seeing the details, he laughed.

Their next round will be an interesting opponent – the Thunderbirds from the Americas.

For the sake of memorization, most of the domestic teams call them "Thunderbirds".

This Thunderbird team has a lot to do with many domestic teams.

When he first saw the list of other players, Lin Feng almost thought that the organizer had made a mistake.

、w33、on、sery、saksa

Good guys, it turned out to be the original team of the TI6 runner-up - the DC team.

Later, they deliberately did some homework to sort out the ins and outs of this Thunderbird team. Since TI6 became the biggest dark horse and won the runner-up, the original DC team has become a popular team in the world.

However, after TI6, they had a mediocre performance in several major tournaments.

The increasingly deep contradictions between the players and the club, coupled with some problems within the club, have led to the estrangement between the crowd that is difficult to bridge.

So, after discussion, the original 5 team members made a decision.

Kicked out the club!

The five people said they were leaving, and after leaving the DC team in April 2017, they immediately formed this Thunderbird team.

So, speaking of which, the Thunderbirds have a short history.

It was as short as only a dozen days.

In fact, this situation like the Thunderbird team is very common in foreign teams.

A few free people who don't have a team, just find a sponsor, and after registering on the official website, you can save a new team.

The rapid turnover of personnel and the rapid replacement of teams are the characteristics of foreign teams.

On the other hand, the domestic team.

It may be due to the character tendencies such as liking stability and liking to guarantee the bottom line in the blood of our nation, and there are few examples of saying go away and pulling it out on your own.

Lin Feng looked at the list of people in his hand, and when he saw the bottom, his eyes lit up.

Hey, there's an old acquaintance at the bottom.

eesa

Ten days ago, at the Asian Invitational, he had only played against EE. At that time, in the solo and knockout rounds, he completed a double kill for EE.

Unexpectedly, in April, he actually saw EE on the list of another team.

After looking through a few messages, Lin Feng determined the ins and outs.

It turned out that after the Asian Invitational Tournament in early April, EE was kicked out of the NP team because its performance did not meet the club's expectations.

Later, EE contacted several old teammates and quickly joined the Thunderbirds team after leaving NP.

But not as a team member.

On the list, in front of EE's name, it is prominently marked: "Coach!"

"Brother Feng, I blame you." Chubby said with a smile.

"What does it have to do with me?" Lin Feng didn't know why.

"You beat people out of the army, and you still say it has nothing to do with you?" Chubby pointed to the word coach on the list.

Subsequently, he began to sigh: "Comrade Yongren, after all, he can no longer serve the motherland."

At this time, the pillow jumped up suddenly, ran to the two of them, and said, "Do you think there is a possibility: Jack Mao has been discovered?"

Lin Feng pushed the two teammates away and scolded with a smile: "Let's get out of the way."

"The game is about to start, hurry back to the battle room."

At half past five in the afternoon, the second round of the group stage officially began.

The commentators for this BO3 are Wind Memories and A, and the two of them first made some opening remarks before returning to the game.

"Hello everyone, it's the second round of the group stage of the Kyiv Major." A looked at the screen in front of him, and continued, "The two sides of the game are Team Phoenix and Team Thunderbirds."

"According to the rules of the Swiss round, these two teams who won two in the first round met together, which can be said to be a strong conversation."

Subsequently, the players of the two teams were introduced one by one.

Soon, the first game entered the BP round.

In this game, the Thunderbird team is on the Radiant side, and the Phoenix team is on the Dire side.

The first two hands are banned, and both teams choose to ban each other's usual support heroes.

The Thunderbird team took out the Beastmaster and Carl in the first two hands.

"Come up and grab Karl? What kind of routine is this? A little incomprehensible.

Leaving aside the difficulty of Carl as a hero, let's just say that this version, Carl is not a popular hero either.

This second hand robbed Carl, which really makes people can't find a reason.

On the other hand, Wind Memories gave its own answer: "The Thunderbirds team has to consider the problem of their mid-laner hero pool."

"W33 is a player who is better at mid-laner heroes, like Mibo, Windranger, Earth Cat and the like. And some of the regular heroes who are popular in this version, he doesn't seem to play much. ”

"Carl is the hero he plays more than Mipo."

It's Team Phoenix's turn to pick a player.

They first selected the No. 4 hero of the Great Sage, and then took out their own mid-laner - TA.

"It's tat again." Feng recalled that he was interested and said, "Vigoss just played a handful of ta, and now he actually took it out again. It seems that he wants to take advantage of the heat of his hand and play the next game. ”

Then three or four hands banned, and the Thunderbirds banned Little Naga and Ice Girl.

The Phoenix team, on the other hand, chose to ban the Prophet and the Little Fishmen.

In the subsequent selection process, the Thunderbird team took out the Warlock and the Sand King.

The Phoenix team took out the Ice Dragon and the Ghost one after another.

Then, there is the last hand to choose.

Without hesitation, the Thunderbirds team took out their No. 1 Skeletron.

The Phoenix team thought about it for a long time and came up with a rarely used Doom Messenger.

The line-ups of both sides were selected.

Radiant (Thunderbird): Skeletron, Cal, Sand King, Beastmaster, Warlock

Phoenix: Ghost, Ta, Doombringer, Great Sage, Ice Dragon

"Looking at the lineup of both sides, I always feel that the Phoenix team is a little unstable." Feng Retrospective frowned, couldn't help but be a little worried, and said:

"The lineup of the Phoenix team has a high growth potential."

"However, I'm worried that they won't be able to sustain the opponent's mid-term attack. On the Thunderbirds' side, the fight in the early and middle stages is still very fierce. ”

"TA and ghost dual-core, in the absence of BKB, it is difficult to top."

Then, the game officially begins.

"Let's go, let's go to them." Pillow said as soon as he started.

With the Great Sage and the Ice Dragon, the three brothers opened the fog and ran directly to the rune of the main Radiant wild area.

The Great Sage of Sixty-Six jumped onto the tree and used his vision advantage to observe the other party's situation.

At this time, Skeletron really came over.

"Hands-on, hands-on." Seeing that there was no one behind the other party, Liuliu jumped off the tree directly, slowed down the other party, and then chased after Skeletron and hit.

The pillow's Doomsday Brigadier and the chubby Ice Dragon followed.

"On the Thunderbird team's side, the warlock has arrived." Wind Memories began to explain the small team battle in the opening talisman stage.

"[Dark Word] is on, and it raises Skeletron's HP."

"On the other side, the Beastmaster has also arrived. The two sides began to scuffle. ”

"Team Phoenix is obviously no match for this."

"Skeletron hammered to the Great Sage, and the Beastmaster scraped an axe, and the Great Sage couldn't bear it."

firstblood！

's Skeletron gets a blood.

However, this team battle is not over yet.

After the Thunderbird team took a blood, they kept chasing forward, relying on the advantage of movement speed, and chased the pillow's Doomsday Messenger to the residual blood.

A heavenly fire strikes and takes away the doomsday heads.

Karl of W33 obviously has some skills.

Before sending troops, they got two heads, and the Thunderbirds team can be described as a Tianhu start.

"Damn, I can't beat it." The pillow scolded in the team.

"It's okay, it's okay, come back and line up normally." Lin Feng reminded his teammates that after eating the bounty talisman, he came to the middle lane.

On the opposite side, Carl of W33 also came to the middle of the river.

However, Lin Feng's TA has more than a dozen more attacks than the opponent's Carl in terms of initial attack power.

In addition, Carl is a long-range ballistic, so Lin Feng has no pressure on the line.

His level 1 choice is [Psionic Blade], using the effect of catapult attacks to constantly prostitute the opponent's HP.

The first wave of soldiers passes, leaving the opposing Karl with only one melee soldier.

After reaching level 2 first, plus level 1 [Refraction], Lin Feng's advantage in the laning stage began to expand.

The two sides are not at the same level in terms of consumption capacity.

Lin Feng has been using the catapult effect to consume the opponent as much as possible while replenishing troops.

Soon, the game time came to 7 minutes.

Lin Feng's TA has already gotten the 4017 mending knife. At this time, the opponent Karl only has 20 positive complements.

The number of mending knives is more than double that of the opponent.

"Vigoss is still awesome, this knife can only be said to be a cow."

"My youth is to watch Vigoss mend the knife."

"Don't be in a hurry to blow, everyone knows the W33's ability to align with the line. It's not surprising that the line is played like this. ”

"This is the damper?"

"Carl blew up on the line, how can you fight this?"

Seeing the statistics of the two sides, the barrages complained one after another.

However, the situation in the game is not as ideal as that of the mid-lane.

On the road, Ghost and Ice Dragon, against the Beastmaster and the Sand King. Although the ghost's mending knife is ideal, it can't suppress the other party either.

Down the road, the end of the pillow also can't suppress the opponent's Skeletron.

Up to now, the number of Skeletron mending knives is in the first place in the game, even more than Lin Feng's TA.

Moreover, during the laning, the Thunderbirds constantly looked for opportunities and completed several kills.

Overall, the Phoenix team didn't have an advantage in the laning period.

Simply, Lin Feng's ability to brush money is still there.

Taking advantage of the natural advantage of the hero to clear the line and brush the field, he quickly chased the economy back.

The time came to 9 minutes.

Lin Feng had already consumed half of the opponent's mid lane tower, and after sending the next wave of soldiers into the tower, he wanted to grind some more towers' blood.

However, the Thunderbirds had already laid an ambush.

"The sand king pierced and controlled it. Carl smashed the skyfire. ”

"It's dangerous." Wind reminiscences and explains the situation on the field.

Fortunately, Team Phoenix was prepared.

When he was clearing the line, the Great Sage of Liuliu was already squatting behind. Seeing that the opponent's sand king pierced and shook big, he decisively threw out a stick and broke the opponent's big move.

At the same time, Meng Tao's ghost turned on [Ghost Shadow] and descended on the battlefield. The first one finds the other party's Carl and starts to output closely.

At this time, Lin Feng's TA control was lifted, and his backhand was a hidden blow that hit the Sand King.

The Sand King began to bury the sand in place, going invisible in the sandstorm.

But there was powder on the body of the great sage of Liuliu, and the dust of the development spilled out, finding the other party's sand king.

Lin Feng decisively picked up the output and hacked the sand king to death with a few knives.

Get the first head of the game.

“nice！” A immediately applauded.

The moment she saw Lin Feng being moved, she was a little worried. Fortunately, the Great Sage squatted behind him in time, broke off the other party's Sha Wangda, and saved his life.

"Push the tower, push the tower."

After eliminating the two opponents, Lin Feng turned around, cooperated with his teammates, and got a tower in the middle of the Radiant lane.

Kill people and break the tower, and the rhythm takes off.

"TA's total economy has come to 4600, and he has reached the first place in the field again." Feng Retrospective looked at the statistics panel and analyzed it.

"We can see that Vigoss's TA is now nearly a thousand economies ahead of the opposite No. 1 Skeletron."

"This development ability is unique."

After pushing down the opponent's mid lane tower, Lin Feng began to invade the opponent's main wild area with two soy sauces.

At a big field point, after seeing Carl, he clicked on the map and said, "Six-six, come, move him."

The Great Sage of Six-Six rushed over, jumped directly off the tree, and took the baton to control Carl.

Lin Feng's TA hit a stealth blow, and then followed up with a few basic attacks to take Carl away.

Another human head.

At 13 minutes and 30 seconds, he got his first qualitative transformation equipment, Darkness.

The speed of swiping money is raised by one notch again.

However, Lin Feng did not continue to find the other party to play a group.

The Thunderbirds team is a lineup that is already better than them in team battles. In the absence of BKB, it is difficult for his TA to have room to play.

So, what he has to do now is to brush up on the money.

As long as BKB comes out early enough, their winning rate will be greatly improved.

However, things are not always going to work out as expected.

In the 16th minute of the game, the Thunderbirds took the initiative to force the team and lingered in the middle of the Dire tower. They have only one goal - to take down each other's towers.

After seeing that Carl was on the road to lead the line, Lin Feng felt that he could pick up more and less.

So go straight down to the middle lane.

"The doomsday move was given to the Beastmaster, the ghost opened up, the Great Sage jumped over, and the Phoenix team wanted to pursue." Wind reminiscences and explains the situation on the battlefield.

"The Great Sage stayed in Skeletron, and Phoenix all went up, wanting to second him, but Skeletron has two lives."

"On the Thunderbird team's side, the sand king turned around and jumped directly to catch the puncture. stabbed 3 people on the opposite side. ”

"This damage is so horrific that the ghost is seconded. Carl caught fire and killed him directly. ”

"The first and second positions of the Phoenix team were killed, and the team battle was no longer able to fight."

The team battle ended, and all three big brothers of the Phoenix team were killed.

Only one soy sauce warlock was exchanged for the other party.

Lost miserably.

Moreover, Carl of W33 did not directly participate in the group from beginning to end, but only supported a long-range Skyfire.

Rao is so, they still haven't fought the other side.

"It's too brittle." Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh after being seconded.

Even if he has [Refraction] to resist some of the damage, he still can't withstand the opponent's set of output.

The opponent threw down a set of aoe, and his blood volume disappeared inexplicably.

After this battle, the Phoenix team members clearly felt that they were not easy to fight in a frontal team battle.

In this game, their opponents are all old fritters, and they are the original team of the TI runner-up. Compared to their opponents in the first round, the Thunderbirds are clearly more sophisticated.

The game came to 19 minutes.

The Thunderbird team went directly into the Roshan pit, they wanted to fight the shield, and they wanted to force the opponent to take over the group.

The Phoenix team, on their part, was also aware of the other party's movements. They quickly assembled and rushed over as soon as possible.

This time, the chubby Ice Dragon's ultimate move was very good, and he controlled Skeletron who was playing the shield.

Lin Feng saw the remnants of Roshan's blood, and jumped directly into the Roshan pit, wanting to grab the shield.

However, the Thunderbirds' backhand is also very decisive.

The warlock smashed it directly, received the roar of the beast king, and the piercing of the sand king. A set of o go down and control Lin Feng's ta to death.

After the death of TA, the team battle became one-sided again, and Lin Feng's side had no output point at all.

Eventually, Skeletron of the Thunderbird Clans came with a shield.

Now, he has 3 lives left.

"I still can't fight." A looked at the game screen and began to worry, and said: "In this time period, the skills of the Thunderbird team are obviously more powerful."

"The Phoenix team doesn't have BKB, and just because they don't know AOE, they are dumped to death."

"The terrain of the key Roshan Pit is more conducive to the performance of the Thunderbirds team."

Beside her, another commentator, Feng Recalled, also analyzed: "But the Phoenix team can't help but take this regiment." If the other party is allowed to carry the shield smoothly, their situation will be even more difficult. ”

"Moreover, they are only two hits away from being able to kill Roshan and grab the shield."

"It's a pity."

After this wave of champion Roshan group played, the scene was given to the economic panel.

's Skeletron has come to the first place in the audience, with prosthetic legs, armbands, blade armor, jumping knives, and shields.

W33's Karl Economy also caught up and finished second overall.

On the other hand, on the Phoenix team's side, after Lin Feng's TA got the jump knife, there was still a long way to go from BKB.

Meng Tao's ghost only has 3800 on his body, and it will take a few minutes before he can make a radiance.

The doomsday messenger of the pillow is at the point of dying when he shows his head, and he can't stand up to the front row.

Comparing the lineups and equipment of the two sides, the Phoenix team is at an absolute disadvantage.

"Let's take it separately, the group can't be connected." Lin Feng realized this problem and began to remind his teammates, saying, "Brother Tao, you go and brush the safety line."

"The outer tower is given to them, not anymore."

"We guard the high ground."

While paying attention to the situation on the field, Lin Feng began his crazy development pace.

Taking advantage of the appearance of the Dire Tower on the opposite side, after brushing his own wild area, he directly went to the main Radiant wild area and cleared all the resources of the opponent's wild area.

Then break a wave of lines to delay the opponent's ascension.

When the game dragged on to 23 minutes, Meng Tao's ghost finally made a brilliant appearance.

By reserving the vision provided by the trap in his main wild area, Lin Feng saw the other party's movements, and his heart moved.

"Let's do something with them." He shouted.

After enduring it for so long, it's time to find a chance.
