August 9th.

Day 4 of the TI Knockout Round.

As the knockout rounds come to the later stages, the density of the games is finally less dense than before.

Today, there are only two games to be played in total, and they have nothing to do with QG.

Both were in the afternoon, and the four teams in the lower bracket had to play a round of four into two to eliminate the spot.

The final result was that the two teams from the winners' group, VP and EG, all crushed their opponents 2-0 and completed the promotion!

In the post-match interview, the members of the two teams made a victory declaration, saying that they will definitely win to the end and enter the final finals!

But obviously, because of the lower bracket format, one of them is destined to break his promise.

The time came on August 10th, the fifth day of the knockout round.

In the afternoon.

The two teams that released their bold words yesterday met on the field in a blink of an eye and walked on a single-plank bridge.

Chen Dongqing and the team rushed to the game site and watched this two-in-one battle of life and death.

Theoretically, Chen Dongqing actually hopes that VP will win, and he even hopes that VP can really win the finals.

In this way, they will be able to win the championship consistently.

If EG wins, it might be a bit tricky, because QG has never played EG.

But unfortunately, things always go your way.

In this match, EG swept VP 2-0 to complete the promotion.

Chen Dongqing looked at the result and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Go well, my experience pack.

The Russian Woolly Bears are undoubtedly a strong team, because of their strong offensive ability, their team floor is extremely high, and they can achieve consistent points against some weak teams, so in the whole year of competition, they have not fallen out of the top four, allowing them to get the glory of TI points king.

But it is clear that the ceiling of this offensive style of play is not high, and the excessive momentum is full of flaws in the eyes of the strong teams, which is why they have not won a few championships in a whole year.

In the end, they ended the TI8 journey as the champions.

The identity of this palace army, although it is a little regrettable, can be regarded as a semi-perfect ending.

It's a pity that they don't have a chance to take revenge on QG anymore.

Chen Dongqing licked his lips and turned around and took out his mouse and keyboard.

The lower bracket is over, and now it's their turn to play.

Upper Bracket Finals, QG vs. OG!

Hachi also stood at the front of the lounge and began to beckon the team members to get ready to take the stage!

"Here we go, brothers!" Hachi smiled and said, "We've been holding back for so long, we should really surprise them, right?" ”

Since the end of the group stage, QG has been holding on to two big lumps without pulling.

Yesterday I already pulled a lump on VP, and the rest of the lump, of course, has to be pulled to OG!

Let you OG take a look today, the ultimate attack that belongs to QG!

Soon, the players from both sides took the stage, and the BP began!

The two sides come and go, and soon the first three hands are determined.

The ban position on the QG side is quite fixed, banning out Chen, Prophet, and Silence.

The first three hands of the ban are all support heroes.,These are all key heroes that will have a qualitative change after getting it on the opposite side.,No matter what, it's all to be banned.,Other teams generally do the same.。

On the other hand, OG is the opposite, banning the Terror Blade, the Wandering Swordsman, and the Phantom Assassin.

Three ban big brothers, and all of them have been used by ilex, and the effect is very good, all of them are the type of brush out of the mountain = invincible.

And that's not all.

After the first three bans were over, OG chose to continue to light up with his next hand, and quickly locked on to the ghost.

Three ban positions plus one grab, directly hacked Chen Dongqing's four best heroes!

And the idea of this OG is also quite clear, they recognized that QG's offensive ability is not good, so they deliberately selected the super late stage big core ghost, and dragged the game back!

Seeing this scene, everyone in QG couldn't help but laugh.

Okay, okay, okay, good.

You are truly our good brother.

If you want to sleep, you will also be given pillows, right?

"Why, are we going to lock the plane elves?" Hachi opened his mouth and asked, "It's a good choice here." ”

"Don't worry." Chen Dongqing said calmly: "They definitely won't ban the plane elves, what are we anxious about?" Let's point out the calf and the bloodfiend first. ”

The BP rules of Dota 2 are slightly different from LOL, and the order of the game is that each side bans three hands first, and then chooses two hands.

Then ban two hands, and then choose two more hands.

Finally, ban one hand, choose one hand.

In three stages, ban six heroes.

It's obviously not necessary to choose the plane elf first, it's better to drag the opposite hand, and the opposite side may waste more bans.

"Makes sense." Hachi nodded, "Then the Blood Demon Maverick!" ”

Maverick is the proud hero of FY, the only level of existence, as for the blood demon, not to mention, May put the hero of C.

These two heroes usually meet the opposite round of bans, but OG is really crazy, and even did not hesitate to release these two heroes.

Next, OG's thinking was still clear, and they followed up with the Void Mask and the anti-mage who was extremely restrained from the ghosts.

The combat power of the hero and the ghost of the anti-mage is actually not at the same level, and if you stand head-on, the ghost can even fight two enemy methods.

But the hero of the enemy law is too flexible, and he can restrain the ghost's single belt, coupled with the ability to cut the blue, which can make the ghost become an empty blue stake in team battles, and can even stun the hammer first, and stun the blue, so that the ghost can't even open the ultimate.

can't beat the opposite side, but can make the advantages of the opposite side not play, which can be regarded as a kind of curve restraint.

Five ban+ one grab, OG has blackened six big cores to brush money, which is to prevent QG from having the opportunity to brush money.

That's when the problem comes in.

In the case of a hero being banned, what hero should QG choose?

Do you want to pick a little black? Choosing a monkey?

It's really not good, choose an airplane elf? Forget it, this doesn't work, ilex won't play, and it's almost the same for Ame to come up temporarily

As soon as the words fell.

QG player seat, airplane elf, fast lock!

When the five OG people saw this choice, they were first surprised, then happy, and finally had a sense of reassurance that they had won.

ilex's plane, they have studied it, and it is a frame-by-frame video study, and it is determined that his plane is really not good, so they specially designed a set of BP ideas, five ban to brush the money core, and then snatch the ghost and release the plane specifically.

Now that QG has selected the plane, there is no doubt that they have fallen into their trap!

Okay, good, that's it!

With this mood, OG's people quickly completed the BP of the game, and the lineups of both sides were determined.

Radiant QG (blue side): Inferior lane big ass plus calf, mid lane blood demon, dominant lane aircraft plus elf.

Dire OG (red side): Ghost and Ice Dragon in the dominant lane, Great Sage in the middle lane, Big Tree and Deer in the inferior lane.

(1, DOTA2 is the red side of the choice, so the OG of the first choice of the ghost is on the red side.) 2. Because DOTA2 is a mirror alignment, I also chose a mirror arrangement in the lineup, and described it in the order of top-middle-bottom, and the blue side is the disadvantage, so I will write the disadvantage first. ）

Chen Dongqing looked at the inferior road combination on the opposite side, but he didn't feel any pressure.

The big tree of Dota 2 is no different from LOL's side, it is a regular anti-pressure hero, and it can be easily mixed up.

As for the deer, this is a No. 4 position that can be transferred to C in the later stage, and it needs to be learned at level 6 to learn the ultimate move [Advance] before it can be harmed.

In other words, this set of pairs is very weak, and it is dragged backwards in the rush to resist pressure.

Of course, whether they can withstand the pressure or not depends on them.

It's about how the plane pixies across from them should play.

Chen Dongqing directly bought the frenulum and went out with the fairy fire and a branch, and then asked his teammates for a tree to eat to fill the basic attributes.

In the opening match, Chen Dongqing was not used to the opposite side at all.

Even as soon as the line of troops was handed over, Chen Dongqing didn't plan to give the opposite side a chance to eat experience, so he took the elf to press forward wantonly, directly driving the two people on the opposite side out of the experience area, and didn't even give the opportunity to hook the troops.

It's all level 1, it's all two people, but Chen Dongqing can drive the other side out of the experience area.

Nothing else, just Lai!

Let OG feel the jungle from LOL against the road!

The combination of airplane elves is one of the official pairings of Dota 2.

The strength and playing style of this combination can be simply understood as Goyaga Ming Shiyin chasing person A anyway!

The strength of this combination comes mainly from the elves.

The pokemon mechanism is similar to Ming Shiyin, connecting the C position through a line, and through the skill, you can provide yourself and the C position with high health recovery and attack speed.

In addition, the elf also comes with a dragon king passive class skill, after using it, summon five ghosts that revolve around Io, causing damage to the enemies it touches, and if the enemy it touches is a hero, the ghosts will explode directly, and the damage will also increase.

This skill and the aircraft's [Rocket Barrage] work together to create a high burst, which is the root of the early strength of this combination.

Of course, this combination is not bad in the late stage, because the elf can provide high attack speed for the main C, and the aircraft has [anti-aircraft artillery], which can allow the next nine basic attacks to attack all enemies within a thousand yards at the same time, and the combination of these two skills can play a terrifying super AOE in the later team battle!

These two are really fierce from the early stage to the late stage, and they are also the most popular advantage lane combination in TI8 at the moment, and they will generally only appear in the Ban or Pick position in the first round of BP.

Today, it can be selected until the second round, and it can only be said that the teams on both sides have their own ghosts.

Of course, the OG disadvantage road duo who were kicked out of the experience zone couldn't accept it.

The big tree was still fine, he turned around and burrowed into the grove, relying on the passive stealth in the woods and running freely, and it was no problem to mix him in the dark.

But for the fawn, this is a little unacceptable, for the deer who urgently needs to be promoted to six turns C, experience is more important than life!

Not being able to eat experience is something he can't accept.

As long as you can bring the soldiers over, then this wave of dead people will be earned!

There was no way, he could only try to slowly approach from the grove next to him, mixing and eating experience.

But Chen Dongqing had already expected this trick, he didn't give a chance at all, the plane got into the woods and engaged the opposite side of the short fight, the missiles fired wildly, and the deer was beaten to the point of residual blood in one shot!

It's okay now, I'm completely unqualified to eat soldiers.

OG No. 4 JerAx's heart sank, he saw that his blood was low, and he couldn't eat soldiers, so he simply didn't take medicine, and ran home to replenish his blood.

That's when the inconvenience of the game comes out.

If it's LOL, then you can also press B directly to return to the city, and then teleport online, at most you will lose a teleport.

But this is Dota 2, there is no return to the city, if you need to go home to replenish your blood, then you can only walk home.

The Dota 2 map is big, and the time you have to walk back to the city is enough to make up for your wave of soldiers on the other side.

But Chen Dongqing was not satisfied with this.

He crouched on the line and made up two knives, and when his skills improved, he took the elf into the woods again!

This time, xNova stuck a real eye in the ground and directly found the big tree hidden in the woods!

Another wave of missiles fired wildly, crushing the big tree's HP to less than half!

Chen Dongqing's line highlights a madness, and whoever passes by will be bitten by him twice!

After driving the big tree away, Chen Dongqing turned his head comfortably and retreated, continuing to make up the front and back control line.

Dota 2 is a game, as long as you want, the line of troops can be controlled in front of the tower for a lifetime, and even controlled back!

Looking at Chen Dongqing's control line, xNova hadn't forgotten to perform his job, and the elf turned around and walked towards the wild area at a minute and a half, taking advantage of the two-minute node to stock up on a wave of double fields, and then relied on the wild monsters to cut off his own line.

At the same time, the OG side is also disconnecting the line synchronously, and the result is that the minions on both sides are not online, and the line soldiers are being dropped one by one by the plane.

But obviously, when both sides are stuck, Chen Dongqing will not lose.

Because he is an advantageous lane, the line of troops is handed over in front of the tower, and he can still easily control the line of troops in front of the tower, and there is still no way on the opposite side.

But at this time, someone may be about to say it.

You can only control the line and disgust the other side, but you can't kill anyone! What is the use of a light patch? Can you still fatten yourself with a mending knife?

Eh, don't say it.

In the game of Dota 2, if you can always control the front and back of the line, and make up for every knife, then you can really make up for yourself!

After all, the small soldiers in this game have an economy of nearly two hundred in one wave, and two waves of soldiers in one minute, and the average economy of nearly four hundred can be made up just by mending the knife, which is actually very high.

It's just that in the case of positive and negative complements and lane confrontations, it is difficult for you to make full complements.

But Chen Dongqing can clearly do it easily.

Secondly, Chen Dongqing didn't plan to just control the line and make up the knife.

The control line is only the first step in shaking people.

LOL Anyone who plays the top order knows that when you control the soldier line in front of the tower, it is the best time to call the wild father.

The second is to push the line into the tower.

This philosophy certainly applies to any MOBA game.

Although there is no jungler in this game of Dota 2, because of the short TP characteristics of this game, everyone can be a jungler.

No, soon the wild daddy will come.

FY knows how to win the game, which makes him not have any round shields or other line outfits at all, and when he goes out, he has a pair of shoes and a group of eating trees, and he is running to swim.

Now that the time is not up for three minutes, his calf has already come to the advantage lane.

Taking advantage of Chen Dongqing's control of the line in front of the tower, FY directly made a big detour, walked into the opposite wild area, and drilled out from behind the opposite tower, not only bypassing the opposite field of vision, but also cutting off the opposite back road!

After this wave of anti-tower breaking, it can only be said that a spirituality is highlighted!

There's nothing flashing or anything like that to escape, and there's no movement of the trees and deer on the other side.

The calf carried the tower out, and with a [ravine] board passed, first stunned the deer on the opposite side, and then used the terrain wall created by the [ravine] to cut off the deer's back road!

Chen Dongqing dragged the elf and rushed up, grabbed the missile, and took it away directly and easily!

The rest of the OG cut the screen and looked at the road below, and they all shook their heads and gave up on the idea of TP.

It's too late, it's not saved.

"And more!" As soon as Chen Dongqing signaled the woods, FY understood, and the calf rushed into the woods, sprinkling a [Dust of Appearance] into the air!

This is also a Dota 2 consumable item that allows nearby invisible units to manifest and slow them down.

Before the big tree had time to run, a handful of powder went down and suddenly had nothing to hide, and was chased and intercepted by three people, and finally returned to the spring as well!

"Wuhu! FYGOD！ Chen Dongqing took the lead in playing stalks, touting his teammates in his voice, "This wave is awesome!" ”

In this QG team, Chen Dongqing is optimistic about FY, although this person is playing in the auxiliary position, but his sensitive sense of smell has repeatedly helped QG open up the situation in the early stage.

Ame and Chen Dongqing have been able to brush out of the mountain safely in so many games, and FY's wandering has contributed a lot.

FY with round-framed glasses looks a little white and fat, and at a glance he looks polite.

A few months ago, the Internet also held a Dota 2 player's appearance scoring, Ame and FY were unanimously praised by foreign audiences, ranking first and second, with countless fans and sisters

Of course, Chen Dongqing was not there at that time.

FY helped his glasses and responded embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be embarrassed"

"This wave is critical." Chen Dongqing blew another sentence happily, and then immediately commanded: "But one wave is not enough, you see the timing yourself, and then catch a wave when you have the opportunity." ”

“OK。” FY nodded, and the calf disappeared into the shadows.

It was nearly four minutes now, and he had to help May control the runes.

In the middle lane, Maybe's alignment isn't easy.

The hero of the opposite Great Sage has long hands and brings his own blood return, and his ability to bully melee combat is first-class, although Maybe's blood demon also has a means of blood recovery, but he can only ensure that he does not suffer a loss in the lane, and it is almost impossible to play an advantage.

But as soon as Fy arrived, the situation immediately changed.

Because FY caught the opposite No. 4 position before swimming, the opposite deer is still only two levels, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and it can't support the middle lane, which leads to a situation where the middle lane is completely a wave of two to one.

The bull head inserted a true eye to drain the mid lane vision, and then the board stunned the opposite Great Sage, helping May control the double attack rune for four minutes, and the situation in the middle lane began to reverse visibly to the naked eye.

After helping the advantage lane and the middle lane, FY still doesn't go back to the top lane, and turns around and runs back to the bottom advantage lane.

Charles watched the calf's movements, but he dared not speak

Let's swim, swim well

I can stand it

Charles is not hard-mouthed, he can really withstand it.

The combination of ghosts and ice dragons on the opposite side, the suppressive power cannot be said to be small, it can only be said that there is almost none.

His big ass stands on the line and hits two without pressure, and he can even go up to make up for the knife

Of course, if you play like this, the opposite ghost will play comfortably on the line, which is considered a hidden danger, but it obviously has nothing to do with Charles.

Charles is also confident that his teammates won't fatten up the ghost.

Next, the linkage rhythm of QG continues.

For the next two minutes, Fy ran back and forth between the top and bottom roads, and he didn't have much experience, and the level never moved, but the advantage he created was considerable.

In the middle lane, May has already controlled the initiative in the lane at this time, he quickly cleared the line, and then followed the blood trail straight to the bottom lane!

The hero of Bloodfiend can be simply understood as the ProMax version of the werewolf, the lower the amount of blood on the opposite side, the faster he moves, and the replenishment knife can restore health.

Watching the Blood Demon swaggering towards the lower road, OG's mid-laner Topson hurriedly spoke: "The Blood Demon is coming, run!" ”

As soon as the two of them heard this, they quickly turned their heads and ran back, but it was too late at this time.

Fy's bull head has been waiting for a long time with the fog on the side.

After reading the defensive actions on the opposite side, Niu Tou went out with a [ravine], stunned the two opposite, and blocked the back road!

Chen Dongqing quickly followed up, and the missile grabbed and grabbed at the same time to lower the blood volume of the two people on the opposite side.

As the blood line of the two people on the opposite side became lower and lower, the speed of the blood demon became faster and faster, and soon reached 580 points, turning into a red Ferrari, dragging a red tail flame and quickly rushing to the bottom road.

The Blood Demon quickly charged up, slashed the tree with two swords, and then passively withstood the deer's attack speed reduction, and slowly slashed the deer with two swords to complete the double kill harvest!

"Hey!" Seeing that his teammates were actually caught to death again, N0tail, who was in the dominant lane, couldn't help but say, "Be careful!" ”

On the lower road, Ceb in the third position was beaten all over the bag, and was also counted down by his teammates, and his heart suddenly swelled with infinite grievances, and he shouted: "How can you make me careful?" This bull head has been living on the lower road and has not walked it! Why don't you TP help? ”

As soon as Ceb's words came out, the OG players were silent for two seconds.

Of course, there will be no unique competition in the professional competition team that does not care about its own development.

These two waves of QG's linkage, they don't TP down the road, obviously it won't be because they don't want to help.

The main thing is that it can't help.

QG's move was too sudden and too fast every time.

The first wave of bull heads and fawns were seconded, and they couldn't react.

Not to mention the second wave, the Blood Demon had just disappeared in the middle lane, and then the bull head was on the bottom lane in a blink of an eye, and then the Blood Demon began to accelerate, rushing to the bottom lane and picking up two heads with a few knives

In these two waves, QG stands out as immobile as a mountain, moving like a thunderstorm, and the control and damage are connected quickly, as if they have experienced countless drills.

How do you let them help this.

Speaking of this, the people of OG couldn't help but feel a little numb, and a bad feeling came to their hearts again.

What's going on?

Why is QG different from what they imagined?

QG a few days ago, the linkage is still full of loopholes, there is no rhythm to the rhythm, there is no coordination to coordinate, and there is often damage that cannot keep up with the control, causing the head on the side of the mouth to slip away in vain, and there will even be a situation where FY opens the group perfectly, but no one from his teammates keeps up, resulting in FY being sent away in vain.

Because of this, OG thinks that QG's attack is not good, so he boldly releases the plane elf.

But today, everything has changed.

Synergy, there is, rhythm, too!

A bad feeling suddenly came to the hearts of everyone in OG.

Just like yesterday, everyone thought that QG's defense was not good, but yesterday they counterattacked with a textbook defense and sent VP away 2-0

And then today

The OG crowd suddenly began to understand the VP's mood yesterday.

Mom, they won't be acting the other day, right?

But this is a professional game, and who would de-intensity at such a critical time?

If they really have both offense and defense, is there any need to reduce the intensity?

Or is it said. All these things have been practiced by them in the past few days?

Is it growing so fast? It's only been 10 days since TI!

The OG crowd was beaten and uneasy, and their minds were full of thoughts.

Before their minds turned, the next wave of QG was soon coming.

When the time came to eight minutes, Chen Dongqing and xNova drilled into the wild area after pushing the line, and put away the two waves of double fields that had been hoarded.

There are two AOEs, the ghost of the elf and the [anti-aircraft artillery] of the aircraft, and the speed of farming is also first-class.

After brushing these waves of wild monsters, xNova, who has been eating online lines, became the fourth person in the audience to be promoted to level six.

The status of the fifth position in this game is very low, in fact, it is generally deliberately given to the eldest brother to give experience, and it is normal for ten minutes to be at the fourth level and the fifth level.

Of course, this is also the result of Chen Dongqing's deliberate actions, he has been deliberately giving experience to the elves.

Because the elf's sixth-level ultimate move is very important, because he has been unhappy with the ghost on the road for a long time.

Who are you? Are you so comfortable playing a ghost and mending knives? I'm not going to you?

Taking advantage of the fact that the ghost and ice dragon on the opposite side were pushing the line, Chen Dongqing gave an order and directly asked xNova to activate the ultimate!

The elf's ultimate can appear at any point on the map with a 3-second delay with a teammate, and return after 12 seconds.

This teleportation point is directly behind the two people opposite!

On the other hand, this time OG's response was extremely fast, and Ana and N0tail shouted "Help!" in their voices when they saw the teleportation moment. While quickly turning to the river, taking advantage of the teleportation delay on the opposite side, run first and then speak!

At the same time, the fourth position of the fawn and the second position Topson directly clicked to the upper tower with a TP, and quickly supported!

They didn't get support twice before, and this time, they have to save the ghost no matter what!

“Boom！”

But at this moment, a [ravine] emerged from the darkness, and a stone wall stretched out, stunning both the ghost and the ice dragon.

“FY！ It's him again! At the scene, the European and American hosts were about to faint, "He controlled two more people!" ”

This board shot, Charles in the back quickly followed, the two skills of the big ass shot, the sky was raining fire, and a magic circle appeared on the ground at the same time, giving the ghost ice dragon another confinement!

These two controls have been enough for the airplane elves to teleport to the ground.

The two teammates who came over from OGTP looked at the situation, shook their heads, and turned their heads to retreat.

It's hopeless, wait for death.

Chen Dongqing, who was cutting off the opponent's back road, had a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and directly gave a big move to his feet, and took advantage of the time for the big move to read the note, and the missiles and high-speed artillery were connected!

After a few seconds of delay, the ultimate readout ends, and a super missile hits the ground, dealing a massive AOE damage and slowing all enemies!

Chen Dongqing continued to chase the basic attack twice, and sent the ghost ice dragon away at the same time!

The game is now eight minutes long, but the head-to-head ratio between the two sides has reached a terrifying 6-0!

The OG of this game, in the face of QG's bloody attack, had no ability to resist.

Failure is a foregone conclusion!

(End of chapter)
