One hundred and forty-seven: past present future

Group B: Liquid (promoted), LGD (promoted), Ra.

Group C: Faceless (promoted), OG (promoted), LFY, SG.

Group B is called the group of death for no reason. Even the team of kings, Liquid, managed to win two games 2:1 before advancing with difficulty.

In the final of Group B loser group, LGD faced Random. Maybe and Agressif showed their power in the deciding game. Blue Cat Sven overturned Random's Mammoth Juggernaut system and won the series 2:1 in 68 minutes, advancing to the main event.

group.

Random, as the defending champion of Ti6, is still strong, but due to many things outside the field, there were some mistakes in the game, and thus fell into the loser's bracket due to two 1:2 defeats.

Although the battles in Group C are also fierce, compared to the battles between gods in Group B, the quality of their matches is somewhat different.

Faceless, former VG player Black serves as the C position, Southeast Asia's genius mid laner Jabz, old friend San Bing, former MVP member Nutz, and XY who just finished his PhD. The above five people together form the number one team in Southeast Asia. They are in the group

He passed the game all the way, losing only a small point to LFY, and directly advanced to the winner's bracket of the main event.

OG's performance was quite satisfactory. The double C combination of Notail and Ana did not perform as expected, but they played bravely at 35. S4's super god Ax King and Fly's A-stick Thrall led OG to overturn LFY and grab the last winner's group.

seats.

At this point, the Frankfurt Major group stage is all over. To describe it in four words, it is "the strong will always be strong".

It is rare for dark horses to appear in such large-level events. From regional auditions to regional preliminaries to the group stage, there are layers of checks in between. In addition, Frankfurt's competition system minimizes the probability of upsets in the group stage. Therefore,

, for Navi, who fell into the loser group with a record of 0/4, there is a cruel fact that they have to accept: Navi is the weakest team in this Major.



In the Navi team lounge, the rest of the team members went to eat, leaving only Dendi alone.

The computer interface that is open in the lower right corner is still stuck in the second game of yesterday's loss to SPS, a crushing game that only lasted 22 minutes.

Dendi replayed this game no less than three times, but still couldn't find a solution. SPS was almost impeccable from the team rhythm to the players' personal abilities. If all the Navi players from three years ago had been replaced, they would have had a chance to fight.

, but as time has passed, Dendi can only sigh for herself like this when she is alone.

"Maybe we will have a chance to play against each other." Dendi muttered to himself and turned off DOTA2. He put on his team uniform and put on a smile again. Yes, he would be interviewed on behalf of the team later.

Navi.Dendi has been interviewed countless times, but this time, it was indeed a bit hard to accept.

The host is a special reporter selected by V agency. Usually this kind of interview is originally arranged on the media day. In previous TI media days, as long as "Navi.Dendi" is present, the media will be surrounded and the cameras will be everywhere.

, and today, oh, not only today, Dendi has not enjoyed being surrounded by the media for a long time.

"Hello, Dendi, how are you doing?"

The host's greeting brought Dendi back from his thoughts. He came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "It feels pretty good. Although our current record is at the bottom, you know, anything can happen before we are eliminated."

"Before leaving for Frankfurt, what were your expectations for the team's performance?"

"Well, although saying these words now may make the audience feel funny, we are indeed here to win the championship. We always believe that we can defeat all opponents, rather than being satisfied with the top 16, top 8 and so on. That is too hypocritical.

Now, I just want to be number one, at least I have always had this idea since I started playing professionally."

"Okay, next question. In recent years, many powerful players have emerged in various major competitions. As someone who was once known as the number one player in DOTA2, which player are you most optimistic about?"

Dendi's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh: "He is definitely the ONE of the SPS team. He is simply, my God, I don't know how to describe it to you in words. He is 16 years old, solo champion, Major champion, and finals MVP. I remember correctly.

What if he also won a Minor as a substitute? God, he is simply the Sumail of China. Oh, sorry, if he wins TI this year, no one can match him." He paused and added

:"including me."

"Oh? You have an impressive record of winning one championship and two second place in the TI arena. Are you so confident in ONE?" The host was obviously surprised that Dendi would praise a player so highly.

Dendi insisted: "If he maintains his current status, I still say this, no one can compare to him."

"Last question, this is your seventh year playing for Navi. This is an extremely dazzling number in the history of the DOTA profession. You once said in the live broadcast that you were about to leave the team. Is this true?"

The lighting of the camera was a little dim, and apart from Dendi who was being interviewed and the interviewer, there was only one photographer at the scene.

And this question touched Dendi's heart.

This big Ukrainian boy who loves to laugh and be funny raised his head, looked at the host, smiled, and said seriously:

"I can't find any reason to leave Navi."



At six o'clock in the morning, two professional players were sitting in the lobby of the team hotel.

ONE and Ana, one got up early and the other didn't sleep.

There is no other reason for Xiao Se to get up early. Morning jogging is a reserved activity for him when he goes abroad to play competitions.

The reason why OG's current mid laner Ana can't sleep is precisely because of his current title.

Criticism, doubt, and abuse are the three big problems for Ana. Just because his predecessor was OG.Miracle, a superstar with a gorgeous style who was regarded as the most entertaining player in DOTA2.

OG seems to have no one to play, so they hired Ana, who was previously a substitute for 430 at IG, and his performance so far can only be considered average. His economic replenishment ability is frighteningly fast, and he is known as the "Vampire in the Wild Area", but

Compared with those top mid laners, his teamfight entry and overall view are indeed more than one level behind. Although OG has entered the winner group in a thrilling manner, their current strength is really not enough to compete with other teams in the winner group.

.

It was Ana who chatted with Xiao Se first. After all, she had been a substitute on IG for a period of time and Ana knew a little bit of Chinese.

Both of them play mid lane, so they naturally talked about their understanding of the mid lane. Ana asked a lot of questions about rhythm, which is also his biggest shortcoming at the moment.

But this kind of thing is difficult to explain clearly in words. Xiao Se chatted with him for a long time and said bluntly: "In my personal opinion, your style is more suitable for the No. 1 position, and with your hero pool, you can also play the No. 12 position with your teammates.

Your position is swinging, I think you can seriously consider the transformation in the future."

"Transformation? Swing?" and Miraa looked up and asked.

"Miraa's expression was bleak. Only then did he understand why Ana had been suppressing herself so much. He smiled, "I can only say that when people talk about OG in the future, Miracle will not be the first thing they think of.

But..."

Click - the sound of the door opening interrupted Xiao Se's words. Ana followed the sound and he vaguely remembered the name of this person: "The King?"

"Huh?" Xiao Se turned around and saw the man wearing the Avenger uniform smiling and waving to him:
Chapter completed!
