Seattle Key Arena, where all dreams begin.

More than 17,000 best viewing positions were packed, and national flags of various colors were raised high in different zones. Although the DOTA2 World Cup is not strictly a national competition, when they looked at those who have the same blood flowing in their bodies

The professional players walked onto the stage, and every audience member could feel the blood boiling in their hearts.

"All major teams are invited to enter!"

"OHHH!!"

The jubilant heat circulated in the audience and reached its peak when the players entered the venue.

Sixteen teams, eighty players.

All contestants formed a circle, with the seventh Immortal Shield in the center.

"Please Gabe Newell!"

The familiar fat old man with a beard in slippers slowly walked onto the main stage and said the classic line: "Wele to the iional."

"WOW!!"

"Gaben! Gaben!"

The audience responded to the wallet thief with full enthusiasm. The opening ceremony is always a valve to release the passion of the TI main game, and it is no exception for the players.

Nervousness, excitement, excitement, all kinds of emotions spread among the professional players. The veterans had seen this scene many times and just stood there with smiles waiting to speak. The young players would whisper to their teammates from time to time and were very excited, even if they were in the loser group.

They are now confident to stage a fairy tale of one wearing seven.

"Where's my brother? Where's my brother?" Xiao Yitong propped his head in the audience, looking for his brother among the eighty heads on the main stage.

"Over there." Bai Yu pointed.

Xiao Se stood silently at the front of the SPS team, looking far ahead.

What is he looking at?

The camera was shown to SPS.ONE and zoomed back. The young man stood tall and straight, with resolute eyes. His eyes were locked on the immortal shield that symbolized glory and peak. There were no heroic words, no ambitions, just a look in his eyes.

.

This scene touched the hearts of many viewers.

"SPS! SPS!"

"ONE! ONE!"

On the premise that a better choice should have been made, it is a kind of heroism for a strong player to dare to challenge another strong player. SPS's move of selecting Liquid has attracted countless fans on the Internet.

Domestic audiences generally think that SPS is trying to avoid fellow fans EHOME, while foreigners think that they are eager to win. As for what they think, God knows.

"Look, look, it's brother." Xiao Yitong couldn't help cheering when he saw Xiao Se on the big screen.

"Holy shit, this perspective, this look, it's so impressive." Gu Nan took out his phone and took a photo.

"Young man, you really can't hide anything in your eyes." Bai Ruohai, the oldest, smiled happily.

As Slacks and Kaci, the two unbeatable golden partners of Ti events, took the stage to control the field, the players gradually left the stage.

The next stage will be handed over to ten people: all members of SPS and Liquid.

After a brief introduction process, members of the two teams came on stage one after another. Putting aside the cliches of fan support, let us directly start this powerful dialogue.

Starting with the ban, Liquid banned Templar and Puck first, while SPS banned Elf Light.

Liquid grabbed Chen.

Commentator: "Oh? It seems that Liquid is fully prepared. Instead of banning Alchemy, they grabbed Chen from SPS. Let's see how they will respond."

"Just bring out the Great Sage. Werewolves can also do it." Fy said.

"No problem, the werewolf can order first." Yang nodded.

So SPS first took out the Werewolf Monkey King.

Yang: "We are the last choice, right? Do you want to ban Spider?"

"Hmm... you don't have to ban. If they dare to kill the spider for the last time, I can hit the captain. But I feel that the liquid will give Miracle Brother Carl. Let's take a look first. We are not in a hurry." Xiao Se said, and then he banned the bull head.

.

Liquid thought about it again and again, and finally took out the sea people, and banned the wrong option of spider.

Xiao Se nodded, and as soon as the spider came out, Liquid was almost certain to be the mid laner Karl.

Commentator 1: "Liquid has banned Broodmother, so they are likely to get Carl for Miracle. Let's see if SPS will ban it."

Commentator 2: "Could this be a BP trap? Don't forget that Matumbaman is a unique druid. If he gets this hero in his last hand, I think it will be more terrifying than Miracle's Karl."

In the fourth ban, Xiao Se banned Druid and brought out Batrider, and chose to release Carl.

Liquid picked the offlane Steelback.

When the opponent clicked this hand, Xiao Se almost laughed out loud. The Necromancer at position 5 used a magic wand to hit the steel back online.

Bang - SPS fourth hand: Visage.

"Visaji, could it be Team Y's soy sauce Visage?"

"It could also be the mid laner Visage. I recently saw ONE constantly playing Visage on the home page of the foreign ladder."

I don’t know if SPS’s unique lineup swing made Liquid dizzy, but the audience was already dizzy.

Liquid took a look at Tianhui's lineup, and after confirming that they had little control, they took out another unique skill of Toilet Brother, the Weaver Ant.

Both sides are left with the last position.

SPS banned Huomao because everyone knew what Liquid was going to choose.

As expected, Liquid took out Karl.

The last choice is at SPS.

"Just click on alchemy." Xiao Se agreed.

"Go ahead." All teammates agreed.

So Xiao Se took out the Alchemist as his last choice, a familiar promotion combination, but missing the wet nurse Chen, but the Necromancer Dragon and the Monkey King can produce medals for alchemy sets, and in a team fight, the soy sauce back row on the opposite side can

When being chased away by a werewolf, Alchemist just needs to make sure he is fat enough to stand in front of him.

The winner group of the knockout round of the 7th International Invitational Tournament, Liquid VS SPS, Game 1 lineup is as follows:

SPS (Radius): Werewolf (AME), Alchemy (ONE), Bat (Yang), Monkey King (Fy), Undead Dragon (xNova).

Liquid (Night Dire): Ant (Matu), Carl (Miracle), Steelback (MC), Sea People (GH), Chen (KKY).

Xiao Se stretched his muscles.

Alchemy fire cards (Brother Miracle basically plays fire cards) are the most difficult to play in the first two levels. Level 1 fire cards have high attack power, and level 2 has a little fireman to help with damage. A well-played fire card can suppress alchemy.

, at least it will not make him feel comfortable in the early stage. Miracle obviously belongs to the group of "play well".

So Xiao Se called Fy to help.

This is a countermeasure that SPS had thought of to deal with Miracle Cards before facing Liquid.

When the Great Sage jumps, it interferes with Karl's last-ditch attack and the delivery of items, and protects his own alchemy to reach level 2. After that, the alchemist can continue to push the lane and attack the jungle. The only drawback is that the third position will have to sit in jail for a while.

Liquid can't sit still. Unlike SPS, they have always focused on the mid lane as the core of their tactics. How can they stand being messed with in the mid lane.

So GH went to the middle, forming a classic 2v2 in the middle.
Chapter completed!
