After the game, Chen Dongqing did not stay in the stadium this time, but retreated with the team.

Their game was over in the morning, and they had nothing to do in the afternoon, so they chose to go back to the training room to watch the game remotely.

In the afternoon, the remaining three groups of the upper bracket all produced results.

QG, OP, VP, the top three from Group A, all defeated their opponents and advanced to the second round of the knockout round.

On the other hand, Group B was almost wiped out, and only EG, the first in Group B, defeated its opponent and also completed the promotion.

Next, today's four winners will team up in pairs, with QG facing VP and EG facing OG for the second round of the upper bracket.

Of course, the second round of the upper bracket won't start so soon, and they will have to wait a day and a half.

The night passed quickly, and the time came on August 7th, the second day of the knockout round.

The four losers in the upper bracket yesterday will continue their second round showdown in the lower bracket today, which are:

Newbee (center) vs. VGJT (center).

TL vs. TS (center).

Secret vs. VG (Medium).

Mski vs. OpTic.

There are eight teams in the lower bracket, and there are four Chinese teams, which is still a heart-pounding link.

came up to be responsible for the opening, and it was still the civil war of the Chinese team, and yesterday's loser, Newbee, faced VGJT.

The Chinese team's civil war was quite anxious, and all three games were played to 40 minutes, and in the end, Newbee advanced and successfully advanced to the third round of the lower bracket.

In the civil war, the Chinese team lost another general.

Chen Dongqing sat in the lounge, but he was a little embarrassed.

On the first day of the group stage, the VGJT people still joked with him, saying that they would see you again in the final?

As a result, the losers left in the second round.

It's still almost funny.

The Newbee crowd, who had made the difficult cut, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, bowed deeply to the audience, and then retreated backstage.

It didn't take long for the second group of duels to come to the stage.

TL, who lost to QG yesterday, faced TS today.

Speaking of Team Serenity, not only the audience of major foreign teams, but even many Chinese audiences are very unfamiliar with them.

Because this team does not have any superstar players, they are a team that came out of the public auditions, all the way through the auditions, domestic qualifiers, and now Vancouver.

CNDOTA has never had a shortage of grassroots teams. In 2016, Wings took this grassroots route, and finally miraculously lifted the championship shield that year.

There has never been a dynasty with two consecutive championships in TI history, and every championship is precious, and that legendary Wings is the most brilliant fireworks in the history of Dota 2.

TS is the spiritual inheritance of that legendary wings.

But it's a pity that TS didn't go all the way to the end like Wings, stopping at 9-12 places.

In the match against TL, they were clearly defeated.

As a grassroots team, it is still too difficult to compete with a defending champion like TL.

Of course, this matchup is legendary enough in itself, and even if they lose, they will still be defeated.

After the TS elimination, there was a short break at noon, and the time came to the afternoon.

The third set of duels begins.

Secret vs. VG.

At this time, in China, countless viewers have also gotten up, and they saw the news that VGJT and TS were eliminated as soon as they got up, and then saw the Chinese team on stage, and they were shaken for a while.

VG, you can't afford to lose again, can you?

Soon, the game began.

After the first game of the line period, VG three-way Xiaoyou.

In 17 minutes, Secret bought live and accepted a generation of Roshan after exchanging heads with the fire girl and the bat after a wave of pulling, and bought the live fire girl to pick up the Roshan shield, and then pushed it with the shield, but at this time, VG big brother TB made BKB and relied on BKB to withstand this wave.

Immediately afterwards, VG relied on two waves of edge grabbing and a perfect team battle to take the lead and play a huge advantage in the 28th minute!

56 minutes, VG's strongest wave, TB with refresh directly stood on the high ground, after the two roads were broken, VG wiped out Secret's group, Secret played GG, and VG went down first.

Domestically, countless audiences opened champagne.

In a BO3 match, taking a game first is basically equal to winning!

Let one chase two? It's very blue!

As a result, ten minutes later, Secret chose to change the formation, choosing the three cores of large and small skeletons plus Zeus, and the line was extremely strong.

Just during the laning period, VG was beaten to the point that he couldn't make up the knife, and the bull head in the fourth position wanted to swim away to rescue the team, but it didn't play a role at all, and instead caused his own third position to be killed.

In just eight minutes, the big teacher directly gave VG8% of the win rate.

The big teacher is the big data real-time win rate analysis function on the DOTA2 side, through the hero strong partition and the current economy, the comprehensive evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, is generally quite accurate.

When the big teacher gives a single-digit win rate of 8%, there is basically no possibility of a reversal.

Sure enough, this game was easily won by Secret close to the lane!

Countless domestic audiences were shocked again, and their originally stable hearts suddenly hung a little in the air.

In the third game, the two sides changed formations at the same time, and VG took out NEC and Xiaoxiao to strengthen the line, successfully played a three-way advantage, and continued to expand the advantage.

However, VG didn't notice that Secret's pat bear and Carl disappeared at the same time.

As mentioned earlier, patting the bear's passivity can make it more painful the more A, and this hero is the most convenient hero to fight Roshan.

If you have a Carl who can increase attack speed, it's speedrun!

When the VG people finally realized, the news of Roshan's killing had already come to the screen.

Relying on Roshan's economy and the protective effect of Roshan's shield, Secret survived five minutes with difficulty and survived the early disadvantage.

In 30 minutes, VG opened the fog and squatted and was reversed, playing a miserable endgame of five for four, and finally Secret's remaining pat bear single-handedly took away the second-generation Roshan.

In the 33rd minute, Secret rushed high with a shield and played a perfect team fight again.

VG couldn't buy it alive and could only play GG, which also stopped at 9-12.

Today seems to be the Good Friday of CNDOTA, and the five teams that came over, and when they went back, only the last two were left.

Where is this game playing? Half of the knockout rounds haven't been passed, and they're almost finished?

How can this be fought?

Seeing this, countless Chinese viewers have collapsed, and some even called this the worst year for CNDOTA.

But there are still a small number of viewers who believe in the metaphysical law that even years will win the championship, and they believe that QG and Newbee will definitely go to the end.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to August 8, the third day of the group stage.

This morning, it's still not the upper bracket game.

Or the lower bracket.

The four teams that made the difficult advance in the lower bracket yesterday will directly start a round of death matchup this morning, knocking out the number to only two teams!

Only then can the number of losers' brackets match the winners' brackets.

The rules of TI have always been like this, for the strong team in the upper bracket, it is to take a leisurely stroll and only play one game in two or three days.

For the teams in the lower bracket, it is a hellish tempering of life and death, fighting back-to-back battles one after another, and even the mentality of the players can be broken.

In the first game, Secret and Mski take to the stage and start a big battle.

In the end, Secret defeated his opponent 2-1 and successfully survived.

Immediately after, Newbee took the stage again to take on TL.

It's a little bit of a fun match, as last year it was the two teams in Seattle who played the ultimate TI7 match.

At that time, TL swept Newbee in three games and lifted the championship shield of TI7.

In the lounge at this time, coach Hachi clasped his hands together, with a hint of hope in his heart.

He was the TI champion with Newbee back then, and he still has a little affection for this team, and he certainly hopes that this team can continue to go further.

To be reasonable, from his experience in coaching QG, TL is not so difficult to play, right?

But the result was destined to disappoint him.

In two games, TL swept Newbee 2-0 and successfully advanced to the next round.

Newbee unfortunately stopped at 7-8 places.

Xiaoba saw this result, couldn't help but faint on the back of the chair, and passed out on the spot, cosplay Wu Jing.

Countless Chinese viewers couldn't accept it, and they only felt angina for a while.

There are six teams, one top 16, three top 12, and one top eight.

Is CNDOTA already so unbearable?

Obviously, last year, they were all in charge of the Yaji Palace!

What is this era of the end of the law?

All eyes were on the schedule.

Just this afternoon, the bracket returned to the upper bracket.

CNDOTA2's only hope has come to the last lone seedling, QG.

But QG's opponent is the only VP who has beaten them in the group stage.

It feels like it's a little sent, too!

The midday break is fast approaching, and it's time for the afternoon in Vancouver, and the upper bracket matches are about to begin.

Chen Dongqing and his teammates sat down in the backstage lounge, their fingers swiping across the screen in front of them, watching the discussion on the post bar.

There have been too many things happening in the past two days, which has caused the domestic audience to explode in their mentality, and the post bar is also full of despair.

TI is now in its eighth year, and if you count the Dota 1 era, it even dates back to 2009.

For so many years, China has been the absolute hegemon of the Dota 2 world, and even if it loses the championship in even years, even if it loses the championship in odd-numbered years, it will definitely stage the arrogant drama of CNDOTAvs the world, even if it loses the game, no one will feel that China is ashamed to lose.

And this year, CNDOTA made history by receiving direct invitations from four teams, including the two places in the qualifiers, occupying six of the eighteen teams, accounting for one-third!

When the list came out, everyone thought that another champion of China was coming.

But the accident came too quickly and caught people off guard.

This is only the quarterfinals, and the Chinese team has gone to five, leaving only one seedling.

It turns out that the prosperity is not coming, but it is getting farther and farther away.

[Don't worry, isn't QG still there? 】

[Indeed, the QG group came out first, and 2-0 beat TL, no problem! ] 】

[But QG is visible to the naked eye and has defects, they will wait for big brother C, which is too unhealthy]

[It's okay for QG to play other teams, but it's really bad to play VP, the key is that they will play VP soon!] 】

[Alas, it's hard to top, I hope QG can win]

【Believe in Brother Shu】

[I believe in a LOL player, I didn't expect it. 】

[My suggestion is to play VP, let Ame on, he has a hand in playing VP]

[Forget it, keep changing, and the players can't adapt to it]

Chen Dongqing swiped down the screen, his face unfluctuating.

"What are you looking at?" May also stepped forward at this time and looked at the content on Chen Dongqing's mobile phone screen.

"Stick it up." Chen Dongqing turned the screen sideways and said with a smile: "The bar doesn't seem to be optimistic about us?" ”

"I don't look at this thing." May immediately turned her head sideways and avoided it!

He won a few small championships before.,I did watch the post bar for a while.,He was supposed to see how the bar friend blew himself.,But when you look at it, it tastes bad.。

The main thing is that those people blow it too far.

What is the active No. 1 middle school, what champion is scheduled, and what is not crowned, but beyond the words of Brother Miracle and the like, it makes people's scalps tingle.

Brother Miracle is a TL midlaner, last year's champion, and was called a "next level player" by the commentary.

Of course, in the last few encounters, Brother Miracle really hasn't beaten him, and he was trampled on his head by his blood demon yesterday.

This kind of transitional touting will be counterattacked, and when they are double-killed by OG, this touting will all become a boomerang.

Some time ago, he was touted as "Brother Miracle without a crown", and now it has been condensed into "Wu Guanchao".

Then he also had a nickname, called Brother Chao.

Shouted as Maybe, pronounced as Somnus, named Lu Yao, nicknamed Brother Chao.

The four names are completely incompatible, and he is also unique in the history of esports.

But in fact, what does this have to do with him, he didn't do anything from beginning to end, just killed a few waves of Brother Miracle.

It can only be said that it is quite diaphragm.

The post bar is a big dung pit, doesn't it affect the mood when you look at it every day?

Oh, if it's Brother Shu, maybe it really won't.

The boomerang can't hit him!

It's infuriating.

Chen Dongqing smiled: "Then do you think we have a good chance of winning today?" ”

"What else do you need to say?" May grinned, "With Brother Shu here, I'm sure I'll win casually!" ”

Chen Dongqing glanced at May and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Why are you a bit like a mid-laner in a certain LOL division?

Is this the case in all the mid-laners in this world?

"Okay, the game is about to start, let's talk about how to play today."

At this time, there was only half an hour left before the start of the game, and coach Hachi stood in front and began to have a final tactical discussion.

Chen Dongqing took one last look at the news, then turned off his mobile phone and stuffed it into his backpack.

At this time, everyone was quite serious.

VP is indeed a fierce rival of QG.

After all, they were the only team to win one game against QG in the group stage.

In that match, VP's crazy targeting of Chen Dongqing became a key factor in the victory.

"If we choose the late stage, we can't withstand the VP's early attack." Xiaoba frowned and said: "Then we might as well choose a fight with them in the early stage, anyway, we have also practiced the early offensive now, as long as we play a balance of power in the early stage, we have a great chance of winning."

"I can handle it." A voice suddenly sounded in the lounge, it was from Chen Dongqing.

Everyone looked over and saw that the person who spoke was Chen Dongqing.

Hachi asked again, "What does it mean to be able to bear it?" ”

"I mean." Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "VP's attack, I can withstand it now." ”

"Why?"

"Their offensive tactics can only work against me once, and the second time it won't work. I know them well now. ”

"Are you serious?"

"Trust me." Chen Dongqing's words are loud, and with his identity, people have to be convinced.

Of course, his words are not untargeted.

After his meditation training, he now knows all the tactics of VP well.

It's definitely best to use the late big core against the VP, because he is guaranteed to develop and carry the game.

Coach Hachi squinted and thought for two seconds, and then said, "Okay, I believe you." ”

Sorry, a little less today

Tomorrow there will be a chapter that ends directly and VP's BO3

(End of chapter)
