Chapter 170: What's going on?
There are no soundproof rooms, no heavy glass separation.
Lin Feng sat on the gaming chair and raised his head slightly to see the audience not far away.
The audience was packed.
Many viewers held the EG team logo and other items, apparently to cheer for the North American hegemon.
Between the teams and the Americas, the Filipino audience has always been principled.
The principle is simple: never support a team.
Among the EG team fans, a few bright reds are never absent.
Needless to say, these are all supporters of Team Phoenix.
In Southeast Asia, there has never been a shortage of Chinese living abroad.
Just like football and basketball, these Chinese people are never absent from the team's game.
It's just that Dota 2 is a niche game after all, and compared with the local audience in the Philippines, there are still fewer viewers with red flags in their hands.
While Lin Feng was debugging the peripherals, he had already begun to imagine the next game in his mind.
He always likes to go through everything that could happen before the game starts, and then make a plan in advance.
Be prepared, this is the teaching of our ancestors.
Don't forget.
The members of the Phoenix team were extremely active, sitting in their seats and laughing. It's as if you're using this relaxed atmosphere to show your confidence.
Against Team EG, they do have that confidence.
Since Lin Feng joined Team Phoenix, they have never lost against Team EG.
If you win more, the whole team will naturally show a temperament.
It's not a shame to hit anyone, it's the same to hit anyone.
"Hey, what do you think they're thinking now?" Pillow fiddled with the headphone cable with one hand and asked boredly.
Seeing that no one answered, he asked himself, and then said, "Could it be that the ticket has already been booked?" ”
At this time, Chubby couldn't help it and scolded: "Shut your crow's mouth." If you lose for a while, you will be especially resentful. Look at your virtue, it's you who gets carried away. ”
Finally someone talked to him, and after the pillow was scolded, he grinned, leaned over to Xiaopang, and said, "How could it be." We've never lost to them. ”
"There's no such thing as a team that wins all the time." Xiaopang replied to this, and then added: "This is what Brother Feng said." ”
"Huh? Did Brother Feng say it? "There was some surprise on the pillow.
At this time, Lin Feng turned his head and looked at his two teammates with a helpless expression. Without saying anything, he turned back and continued to warm up before the game.
For such two living treasures, it is a waste of spirit to say more.
The pillow, who didn't get a response, didn't care, poked his head to look at the EG team on the other side, and muttered: "It's a pity that I didn't let me shake hands before the game." ”
"I still want to say something to Su Jumping."
At this moment, Xiaopang was aroused by interest, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Pillow spread his hands, pursed his lips, and said, "You're here to get the runner-up!" ”
The tone is extremely stiff, and the demeanor is extremely inadequate.
Chubby was really disgusted, and made a gesture at the other party with disdain, and then stopped paying attention to the other party.
"What? Relax before the game. "Pillow still wants to talk to someone.
But at this time, no one really paid attention to him.
......
"Hello everyone."
It's still the same ordinary opening line, Stanny is dressed in a formal suit and sits up straight.
Next to him is still his old partner AA.
The two young commentators have gradually formed a good tacit understanding. When it comes to commenting on the game, it's easier to work together.
"You're tuning in to the Grand Final of the Manila Masters." Stanny continued.
"The two sides are our domestic team Phoenix and the North American team EG."
"We're all familiar with Team Phoenix, they're Asian Invitational champions, Kyiv Major champions. Now, they are standing on the stage of the Manila Masters Grand Final. ”
"I'm sure they won't let you down."
When it comes to Team Phoenix, Stanny's voice is a little higher.
For this team from China, both the commentary and the audience have great expectations.
This anticipation is not limited to today's Grand Finals, but the highest honor in the hearts of all Dota players.
"Team EG came up from the lower bracket, and they defeated Team NB in the lower bracket finals to advance to the finals."
"Now they're up against the Phoenix team that has beaten them a few times." AA said.
Subsequently, the big screen on the scene gave the two teams the way to qualify.
Team Phoenix made it all the way from the upper bracket, knocking out strong opponents such as EG and NB, and it was all green lights along the way.
And Team EG's path to promotion is a bit of a twist.
They were defeated by Team Phoenix in the second round and fell into the lower bracket.
But in the lower bracket, they still showed their former toughness. defeated the secret team and the NB team successively, and finally got the last ticket to the finals.
Then there is the record of the two sides in this season.
From The Asia Invitational to the Manila Masters, Team Phoenix has been playing the role of Team EG.
The last few meetings have seen Team Phoenix go undefeated.
"The advantages are too obvious." Stanny laughed.
Seeing such a record, as a commentator, he already had some kind of expectation in his heart.
"But the meal still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road still has to be taken step by step." AA on the side hurriedly pulled the topic back, for fear that he would have poisoned milk attributes.
"In the same way, the game is still going to be played one game at a time."
"In the finals, anything is possible."
"I hope that the Phoenix team will calm down, don't underestimate the enemy, and give us a good game."
While speaking, the first game between the two sides has entered the BP stage.
Team EG chose the Radiant side.
In this case, Team Phoenix is assigned to the Night Magic Cube, and they have the right to choose first.
In the first two hands of the BAN people, the Phoenix team still banned the opponent's two-handed support heroes - Pixie and Great Sage.
These two heroes are almost versatile and fit into many lineups.
On the EG team's side, BAN lost the Legion Commander and the Big Tree one after another.
The Legion Commander is a No. 3 hero that the Phoenix team often plays, and the Big Tree is also a popular supporter.
Selection stage.
Team Phoenix was the first to take out the Warlock.
This is an extremely popular version of the No. 5 slot, and both domestic and foreign teams love this No. 5 hero very much.
You can protect the big brother online, and the team battle in the later stage also plays a role.
Subsequently, Team EG took out Riki for the first time, which was also expected.
"Did you find that since the Asia Invitational, many teams have started playing soy sauce rimaru." Stanny saw the BP and analyzed it.
AA immediately responded, saying, "That's right. I have the impression that it was the IG team's Popoca that started this precedent. ”
"Their No. 4 position power pill used to make many strong teams sick enough."
"Since then, a lot of teams have started to learn this hand."
This is followed by a second-hand selection.
On the Phoenix team's side, they unexpectedly showed their mid-laner - Shadow Demon in the second hand.
"What's the situation? The second hand shows the middle laner! Stanny shouted.
According to the habits of many team BPs, everyone prefers to save their carry heroes until the end to prevent them from being targeted by the other party.
The Phoenix team came up with a mid-laner hero in the second hand, which is indeed a bit different.
"However, their mid laner is Vigoss." AA said.
"Oh, that's fine." Stanny said.
The clouds were light and expressionless, as if they were deliberately telling a bad joke.
BP continues.
In the second hand, the EG team came up with a support hero with a very high appearance rate - Ice Girl.
This hero's appearance rate in the current version is too high, and she has been a favorite of many teams.
The next three or four hand ban session.
Team EG's BAN lost the Spirit of Vengeance and Xiaoqiang.
"BAN is the soul of revenge, is this afraid that the other party will take the nail reduction?" Stanley analyzed.
In previous matches, Team Phoenix had used the Spirit of Vengeance at the No. 1 position, paired with a mid-laner Shadow Fiend. Coupled with a large medal, a standard armor reduction lineup is formed.
At this Manila Masters, they also selected this lineup.
It's just that at that time, the No. 1 revenge soul did not have an effect, and in the end, it was beaten alive and became four guarantees and one.
On the Phoenix side, the puppy and the fire girl were banned in three or four hands.
One is a unique hero of RTZ, and the other is a hero who restrains the shadow demon on the line.
In the selection session that followed, Team EG brought out Parker and Prophet.
They also showed their mid-laner heroes.
"Prophet again?" Lin Feng cheered.
The heroes of Brother Universe are really easy to guess, and they go back and forth in these few.
Pick your team when it's their turn.
They take out the Hero Earth Cat in the third hand, and then choose the Lumbersawer in the fourth hand.
This hand has confused the explanation again.
"Position 1 Lumberjack again?" Stanny asked.
Of course, this is to ask his partner, that is, AA.
"Yes...... Possibly. AA hesitated, but finally gave this answer, and then added: "They used a lumberjack to hit the No. 1 position." ”
"But this is the ...... It's really hard to say. ”
"And, in the late game, the No. 1 lumberjack is a little soft, right?"
Speaking of which, the two couldn't help but think of yesterday's game.
In the second game of the Phoenix team against the NB team, they took out the No. 1 lumberjack. In that game, they relied on Vigoss Karl's super play and finally won the game.
However, the performance of the lumberjack in that game was not impressive.
In the later stage, its role is just a large meat steak.
BP continues.
Right now, Team EG is still one hand away from carrying heroes. The Phoenix lineup is not yet clear.
Then the fifth hand is banned, and Team Phoenix bans Pat Bear.
This is also the hero that RTZ plays a lot of.
On the EG team's side, little Naga was disabled.
The two sides are only one last hand to choose.
Team Phoenix has to be picked first.
After they discussed, they stunned everyone's eyes again - Xiaoxiao.
"This little ...... What's going on? Stanny was confused.
In this version, the small appearance rate is not high.
After taking out the Shadow Fiend and the Lumbersaw, this small positioning is even more ambiguous.
It's impossible to go mid, and you can't play the No. 3 position.
After all possible options are eliminated, the remaining option seems very real.
"Big brother and little brother?" AA said half-guessingly.
"That's the only one possible." Stanny thought the same, and then sighed: "Phoenix really dares to choose!" ”
"This is the finals!"
AA on the side shook his head and said with a smile: "But they are Phoenix!" ”
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
At this time, the sailors who were watching the game couldn't sit still, and the barrage swiped the screen.
"Who said I can't beat my big brother when I'm young? Stand up and take two steps. ”
"6666, this is Dota."
"Phoenix is awesome, I really dare to choose! I love you to death. ”
"Why do I think this Phoenix team has a bit of a wingsd flavor of the past?"
"Phoenix rushed, took the EG, and killed Su Jump."
......
At the end of the BP process, only the last hand of the EG team remained.
Towards the end of BP time, they showed their No. 1 position, which was also very surprising.
Anti-Mage!
"Huh?" Stanny's mouth opened in shock.
Then, he exclaimed, "What the hell is an anti-mage! In this version, in addition to God B, there are still people who play anti-mage? ”
Actually, it's not to blame the commentary for being shocked.
In this recognized fast-paced version, the Anti-Mage, a hero with a long development cycle and almost stealth in the early stage, rarely has a chance to appear.
In the selection of the No. 1 position, everyone likes to pat the core of the early and mid-stage fights like Bear, Juggernaut, Troll Warlord and Swain.
Choosing an enemy mage who comes out of the mountain after 30 minutes is equivalent to four to five in the early stage.
Moreover, there is a saying for the hero of the anti-mage.
"Thirty thousand enemies lie down in one second."
It's not just a joke circulating among Dota players, in countless professional tournaments in the past, it's not uncommon for 30,000 economic enemy mages to die in seconds.
Some of them have become famous scenes that have been passed down for a long time.
The EG team is really brave enough to choose an enemy mage at this time.
"These two teams are interesting." Stanny looked at the lineups of both sides and teased.
"A No. 1 position is small, and a No. 1 position is an enemy mage. These two heroes are not common, but I didn't expect them to be all at once in the same game. ”
Beside him, the commentator AA spoke at this time.
"It's rare, but it's interesting to think about." He looked at the lineups of the two sides and analyzed: "Xiaoxiao is the early and middle stage of the fight, and the enemy mage is the late stage." ”
"One wants to grab the rhythm, and the other wants to drag the rhythm."
"The outcome of the game depends on the performance of the two teams."
......
At this time, Team Phoenix.
"What's the situation, dare to choose an enemy mage." As a BP hand, Liuliu also rushed to the accident.
"Don't worry about the situation, it's over." The pillow was swearing on the side.
There are no good words when you open your mouth.
After finishing speaking, he was still not satisfied, and added, saying: "Lao Tzu will send him up the mountain for a while." ”
"It wasn't easy." Chubby immediately hit the other party and said, "You're not Magnus, how can you send someone up?" ”
As he spoke, Chubby pointed to the head of the anti-mage and emphasized: "Moreover, people are anti-mages, there is B." ”
;/a>
"You B, is it serious?" Pillow smirked.
Chubby showed a look full of disgust, shook his head and said, "Do you know why you can't find a girlfriend?" Here's why! ”
"A fool!"
"Still a vulgar fool!"
"Whew!"
After a few words, the pillow was speechless.
At this time, Lin Feng was not in the mood to listen to these two people gossiping.
He put on his headphones to cut out the noise around him, calm his mind, and then choose the Shadow Fiend.
After clearing your mind of superfluous thoughts, focus on the game with a sparkle in your eyes.
"Well, there's no time for you to bicker."
"The game is about to begin."
