Three hundred and eighteen: focus on
[Today is not what it used to be, it’s hard to fly with broken wings. EHOME lost to Liquid 1:2 and left this international invitational tournament]
[Conquering strength with softness! OG defeated VP 2:0 to advance to the semi-finals of the loser group!]
[The West End Derby is coming soon, can the West End Army break out of the siege in the battle of four armies?]
The fourth round of the loser's bracket ended. Liquid reversed EHOME 2:1, OG crushed VP 2:0, and the two armies met in the loser's bracket semi-finals.
The highlight is here, the upper bracket finals, China Derby, SPS VS Newbee.
After two wars, the lively atmosphere in the Key Arena has not diminished, and there are gradually more Chinese faces. They very smoothly replaced the previous EHOME support items with the team logos of SPS or Newbee, and displayed them on the big screen.
, without hesitation, gave the warmest cheers and applause to the contestants who appeared on the stage.
"Team-N-E-W-B-E-E——"
The entrance was filled with smoke, and five Newbee contestants appeared one after another, led by the popular one. Different from the usual stern expression, this time he appeared with a smile on his face, showing his ease, probably because of his opponent.
"Team-Seahawks-Paleo-Star——"
The smoke filled the air, and Xiao Se led the team onto the field amidst loud cheers. A small group of spectators in the stands excitedly held a blue team flag with a blue and white eagle head embroidered on it. They were part-time fans of the Seattle Seahawks.
, in a sense, SPS is playing locally at Seattle Key Arena, which is no wonder they have so many fans.
The big screen began to play the highlights of the team members' exciting operations and the short videos of their appearances. The host began to warm up and continued to build momentum for this focus battle. After the ten players found their respective positions, they began to debug the machine...
On the other side of the ocean, countless spectators were in front of their own devices, eagerly awaiting the start of the game. After another Chinese team was eliminated, they urgently needed a victory to eliminate the boredom in their hearts.
The captains of both sides expressed in the chat channel that the debugging was OK.
The game begins.
SPS chooses Radiant, and Newbee takes Dire.
"Oh? We saw that the hand of SPS mid laner ONE seemed to be holding a booklet. Wow, it's so thick. Is this a book?" The camera showed Xiao Se holding a large booklet. Commentators from various countries
They were all frightened by this booklet. I had never seen other teams prepare like this before. The few BP hero lists were already overwhelming.
Sure enough, with the blessing of the "knowledge buff", SPS's BP appears to be extremely fast. One ban is captain, and the other ban is poisonous.
K and TA sat on the bench.
Newbee made the first move and got the support of Ten Thousand Essential Oils, which is very popular in every version, the ancient giant Daniel.
SPS then connects points with both hands.
After a brief discussion with his teammates, Xiao Se came up with the dominant lane combination that debuted in this invitational tournament for the first time: Chen and Swain.
Commentary 1: "Chen? A rare support. The reason why he is rare is not because of his lack of strength. On the contrary, in the BP position of some specific teams, Chen is a hero who has been locked in a dark room all year round and cannot be released."
Commentator 2: “This hero is very popular in the European and Southeast Asian regions, but I haven’t seen many players play it in the Chinese region.”
Indeed, Chen, like the elf, is a hero who is very popular abroad, but no one plays it in China. But in recent years, because the elf is too strong, various Chinese teams have hidden the elf system, and Chen,
It’s true that no one is playing.
So SPS gave this responsibility to xNova from the Southeast Asia region.
After thinking for a long time, Newbee showed his big brother Druid, which was also a trick he had never used in the game.
SPS banned Parker and Fawn, and showed Brewmaster in the third hand, Yang's No. 3 Brewmaster.
Newbee banned Aquaman and PA, and then brought out Kaka's unique skill Ryan...
The two sides are going back and forth, so far it is just a game at the level of the hero system, but SPS soon made a turning point in the BP rhythm in the fourth pick.
SPS’s fourth pick was Moon Knight Luna.
"Luna? Does that mean Sven is four? Or should Luna be four?"
Newbee was also confused by this choice. After ten seconds of stoppage time, he chose to play the mid laner first, Ember Spirit.
"Newbee took out the fire cat. They wanted to give Kpii some more time to think."
In the last ban position, SPS gave Black Sage, and Newbee banned Black Bird.
In the last pick, Newbee went first, and finally chose the big fish man for Kpii.
SPS has not revealed its final choice for a long time. The camera shows the SPS battle room. Xiao Se is seen frowning and discussing something with his teammates. As he talks, he suddenly starts laughing with his teammates. Finally, he makes a decision and clicks the mouse.
.
Almost at the same time, there was a burst of exclamation in the audience, and the screen turned back to the hero interface.
SPS.ONE Selection——Shadow Demon.
Final selection:
SPS (Radius): Luna (AME), Shadow Demon (ONE), Brewmaster (Yang), Swain (Fy), Chen (xNova).
Newbee (Night Dire): Druid (Moogy), Fire Cat (), Big Fish (Kpii), Ryan (Kaka), Daniel (Faith).
Positions 3, 4, and 5 of SPS all tend to be functional heroes. They have enough control but lack burst damage. They are banned. The only ones that can produce good bursts in the early and mid-term are the magic system. When it comes to the magic system, it is also good to have a good fire cat.
The figure of Shadow Demon suddenly appeared in Xiao Se's mind.
But the characteristic of the hero Shadow Demon is that he is unstable, so SPS has a backup plan, which is to use Dragon Cavalry. The mid lane Dragon Cavalry can protect the formation, and the damage resistance in the early and mid-term is transitioned to Luna. In the late stage, Druid is not fun.
Already.
This is the reason why SPS hesitated to take the last move. In the end, considering that the big players in the later stage were too powerful, they still took the Shadow Demon.
As soon as this hero appeared, the audience's emotions were instantly aroused.
Before sending troops, SPS made some adjustments to the lane split, choosing to let xNova's Chen go to the top lane to protect the Brewmaster, otherwise it would be too stupid to fight Daniel and Druid in melee.
But Moogy quickly used Little Bear to detect this information, so Newbee chose to switch lanes in the top and bottom lanes, and used Druid to counterattack and suppress Luna.
"Shaman is not online." xNova reported.
"I know." Xiao Se blocked his troops while guessing Kaka's walking route. He was most likely hiding in some woods with a tower behind him, waiting to kill the chicken.
So he gave Kaka a reward.
This reward is very particular, it means "I found you". As for whether you are discovered or not, it depends on your psychological quality.
Kaka thought he had been seen through, so he TPed back to the top.
Returning to the normal rhythm of the laning, ONE played extremely fiercely. They came up first to suppress the artillery and supplement the long-range soldiers, grabbing the level advantage, so as to find opportunities for solo kills during the critical period of shadow pressure at level 3 or even level 5.
He is also a big player in shadow demons, so he naturally understands the opponent's thoughts. He used a courier to bring the big medicine early, and he often found opportunities to use his T to avoid shadow pressure.
One plays the psychological card S to suppress the cannon, and the other psychological gambler uses T to hide. The two of them sometimes get hit, and sometimes they get what they want. The details of the game in the middle are exciting.
Unfortunately, this is not a real world of two people. This is a competitive game, and there will always be a third party.
