The knockout rounds were not played in the hotel, but on the main stage, which was at the Shanghai Stadium, not far from the starting base. Therefore, the five starting players returned to the base after the group stage, and there was no starting game on the first day.

On the first day, the main group is the loser group. The upper group will only play two games and there will be no start.

The opening ceremony of the main stage also included singing and other things. It was already past ten o'clock when the game started. Paris Saint-Germain played the first game. Of course, the opponent was not VG, but TNC. Although this Southeast Asian team was very strong, they encountered

Paris Saint-Germain did not fare so well.

Paris Saint-Germain were very strong at the beginning of the game and did not give TNC a chance at all. A clean score of 2-0 took away the opponent. TNC also played offense and was weak in defense. However, the personal strength of the players was no match for them and they were defeated by TNC.

Paris defeated both games in less than thirty minutes.

The second game is EG versus Secret. In Jiang Xiu's opinion, the two teams are evenly matched and both are strong. However, the teams with outdated play styles are living in the previous version, so Jiang Xiu is quite interested in watching.

At least it allows Jiang Xiu to see how he plays in the later stages of the game. If he starts playing fast break, he is also playing against an opponent who is obviously not as strong as him. If he really encounters an evenly matched opponent, he will definitely fight in the late stages.

In the first round of the match between the two sides, the secret was still the same as last year. They chose Xiaolu, and then selected Niutou, Chen, Xiaoxiao, and Skeleton King. EG chose Laolu, Daniel, Fengxing, Centaur, and Wanderer. This time EG chose Jiang.

Xiu Yi was stunned. Could it be that EG also figured it out and stopped selecting the core?

Facts have proved that Jiang Xiu still thought too much. Feng Xing is not the main force, but just an auxiliary. Lao Lu is the main force. They chose Lao Lu Wandering to farm money, or to fight in the late stage like Secret.

As a result, ten minutes into the game, both sides had a two-to-two head-count. They each spent money, and they were very happy. However, the secret was that they were no match for EG. At eleven minutes into the game, EG began to fight as a team.

But at this time, Secret still wanted to farm, but the Skeleton King still wanted to farm. Chen had no fighting power in the fight. He fought twice in the middle, and Secret was no match for the team battle. Then the wild area was invaded, and Secret's economic experience fell behind overall.

EG is also strange. After winning the battle, they still don't push the tower, and then go back to farm money. There is no intention to attack at all, let alone buying life to attack. The secret is that they don't buy life when they are caught, they just keep grinding.

Thirty minutes into the game, only one person from both sides bought a job to join the team, but there were only one or two buy-ins, which did not determine the outcome of the game. However, the strength of the secret late-stage lineup was revealed at this time, and the Skeleton King's equipment was basically formed, and the two were born.

With a lot of lives and buying lives, EG is no match for the front.

Originally, Chen was completely useless at this time, but Quanjiang taught Jiang Xiu a lesson, and Chen was also the nemesis of another mage. Among the current wild monsters, the little bear and the little centaur have magic resistance auras, and Chen can attack four

Each monster resists magic, and the team's group magic resistance can reach 60%. This is also the main reason why EG cannot beat it. Laolu is restricted by Chen.

Originally, the secret should be able to win this game, but the secret mid laner in the competition is not just talking about it. The secret mid laner failed again. More people died than supports in the whole game. When playing against the opponent, the economy was actually not as good as

Opposite at position 3, there was only one Skeleton King, and further behind, he was still unable to stand alone and was defeated by EG.

In the next second game, the two teams were still the same, playing very boringly. EG's dual-core remained unchanged. The secret was to select the mysterious Void Karl, these three invincible heroes in the later stage.

EG is also weird. Even though Secret has such a lineup, it still doesn't rush to attack and keeps farming money, which makes people sleepy. Finally, Secret Mystery refreshes two big moves and cooperates with Karl to destroy the world and succeed in the comeback. That's it.

Secret won, but it still couldn't cover up the mid laner's deceptive performance. Carl was actually useless as a mystery.

The current mid laner cannot compete with the core for money and has to participate in the war, but there is no need to die more than the support. In the third game, it seemed that he couldn't stand such a mid laner. Quan Jiang put the core of the team in the middle and chose

The mid laner is a small fish.

It's a pity that Quanjiang is doomed to be disappointed. The mid laner Xiaoyu is weak against the weak chicken Fire Cat. There is no fattening in the lane. The economy was leading the whole game for a while. However, Xiaoyu is not seen in the fight and no one is seen in the team battle. Black and yellow have been updated several times.

Can't get out of a team fight.

In the final team battle, he was caught alive and lost the game. According to the statistics after the game, Xiaoyu accounted for the most team resources, but produced the lowest output. This is not a weak shrimp, but an incompetent shrimp.

Playing mid lane!

"What do you think of the performance of the mid laner? What will you do if Yiyi does the same?" Watching the game is also a time for learning, so Jiang Xiu usually brings Ye Wei to watch together.

"There is a problem with the mid laner, but more importantly, it is a team problem. Their mid laner is out of touch with the team. The first position wants to farm money, and in the end, they want to farm money themselves. Now there are few people in team battles and they can't fight at all. The way they play

It’s outdated!” Weiwei sees it clearly. She does not deny that Dota now has a later stage, but it is definitely not created by brushing, but by playing!

"Yes, they are all outdated. It's just that EG's selection is not outdated. We can learn from their selection!" "I understand. I don't choose because I want to hide it. I will use it when I meet a suitable opponent. That's not the case."

Can’t use it!” Qi Shang has always been a sea of ​​heroes!

Next is the loser group game, four games with one game to determine the outcome. The liquid strength is still there, and he can advance easily. Among the remaining teams of the loser, KG is obviously not suitable for this version, only laning and personal rhythm

, there was no team rhythm, they were fighting randomly, and Jiang Xiu didn’t understand why they lost.

NB is not as strong as Team A, and was also eliminated by Team A. Only RNG struggled to enter the next round. But Jiang Xiu probably won't go far. They were able to advance not because they found a way to win, but because they used the single-core method of the past.

The way of play, the gold point is small, and I can barely reach the late stage. Coupled with the strengthening of the heroes in the late stage, I can survive by relying on puppies.

The hero Puppy has been away from the competition stage for a long time with the rise of TB. In this revision, Puppy's second skill feast has become a percentage deduction of the maximum health value, instead of the current health value. All Puppies are very powerful in single combat, with magic.

You can also save a black and yellow one, which can be considered as the core that can barely be used now.

The first game on the second day of the knockout round was between OG and VG. The two strongest teams in the previous version were also the favorites to win the championship this time. It was the second game, so everyone came to the scene early to watch the game.

"Boss, I heard that the old captain talked to you last night. What did he say?" "It's nothing. He was a bit stressed and exchanged his views on the turret with me!" "Don't you want to guide me?"

"Yes, but it's useless to talk about it now. Let's watch their game. VG may not be as good as us in the early stage, but they still have merit in the later stage!" The two did not reach an agreement last night. The old captain believed that it is now a one-man game.

Nuclear version, suitable for defense.

The tower becomes fragile, and if you make an offensive mistake, you will be punished. On the contrary, buying a defense can make you invincible, protect a single core, and be invincible in the later stage. The opponent can be defeated in forty minutes. Jiang Xiu recommended several methods.

nuclear.

VG seems to have stayed the same, but in fact it has. Their single cores are mostly magic cores, and their physical cores are also cores with superior early combat power such as trolls, airplanes, and wanderers.

More importantly, Jiang Xiu was a little shaken by some of the old captain's opinions, that is, about the highlands and the Roshan. Now that the tower is so weak, there is no need to fight the highland group even when attacking. You can't buy life easily in the later stage. The Roshan rewards are so

If you are rich and win outside, you will definitely win as long as the opponent doesn't buy life. Then use a special push to push up. Now breaking the road is of no use. TP's revised version with lanes is no longer a problem.

Of course, Jiang Xiu didn't hide anything. Jiang Xiu also told the old captain about the non-core, the early battle, and the experience of breaking through the high point twenty minutes ago, so that he could at least take precautions to prevent his base from being suddenly broken in the early stage.

As for the offense and defense of Dota, Jiang Xiu was convinced by the old captain. In his opinion, the outcome of Dota has nothing to do with offense and defense. In the past, offense and defense determined the outcome of team battles and the economy, and the winner could continue to win.

, until the opponent is unable to resist and is defeated.

Now the victory of a team battle is not important. The economic accumulation of a team battle is far less important than buying life. If you win, but it is all buying life, the next team battle will not be able to beat the ten opponents no matter how economically advantageous it is. In the past

You can also drag the tower down and wait to buy it, and then attack it when the economic power increases. Now it is impossible. Even if the opponent is at a disadvantage, he can kill you in one wave with ten people and double the combat power.

Therefore, the core idea of ​​the old captain's fighting is to rely on defense to fight a six-man group, a seven-man group, take turns to buy the life, and finally wait for the advantage before fighting a ten-man group, so as to become invincible. Of course, victory will also come very late in the game.

.

Jiang Xiu didn't agree with VG's idea of ​​starting a late-stage team battle, but the idea of ​​this team battle was good. The reason why he didn't tell Ye Wei was that he still had doubts. What if the opponent uses a big move to kill the person you paid to live? The big move

Is it much faster than buying a job?

This answer can be seen in today's game. OG is now a team that uses big moves. They don't use traditional cores, but use big moves to fight in late-stage team battles. Heroes who rely on skills to survive will not be weak in the early stage!

Players began to enter the field. OG's faces were very relaxed. They had no pressure. Otherwise, they wouldn't have played many games for a year. They could win a championship just by showing off their skills. On the contrary, VG had a solemn look on their faces. Even though they were the champions,

Quite a lot, but the domestic competition is a bit stressful, and so far VG has not won even one TI championship!

When there were not many powerful teams in the country, VG was undoubtedly supported by all Dota players. Jiang Xiu didn't like their defensive style, but some people liked it. The original Dota players were all trying to save the world alone.

sweet dream.

Unlike Paris Saint-Germain who beat up kids, VG has always been a team that was beaten in the early stage and fought back later. It is interesting to win only when a comeback comes from a disadvantage. Therefore, most of the classic comebacks in recent Dota games are from VG.

The first game of the game between the two sides began to mix selections. VG eliminated the elf, Chen and Mammoth. OG's big brother elf was rarely used, but its power was impressive. As for Chen, he is the core hero of OG's milk core system. As for Mammoth

He is the most popular hero right now. With him, any core can become a wanderer and take shape quickly.

The OG players are Bing Hun, Lao Lu, and Naga. Bing Hun is the nemesis of their milk core system, and they usually fight. Lao Lu is the boss in the tower demolition industry no matter where he is, and he can farm money quickly and has a lot of magic skills.

The system output is high.

The selection OG selected Alchemy, Monkey King, Xiaolu, Rubick and Daniel. A lineup with a core that is not very good in the late stage, but a super support in the late stage. The core is not very good in the late stage but is very powerful in the early stage. It is a bit like the core support of Qi Shang.

developmental strategies.

The old captain had a conversation with Jiang Xiu. When he saw this lineup, he thought of the twenty-minute invincible alchemy, and immediately thought of using Ice Soul. Unfortunately, he was rejected, but it was not impossible. He chose the Holy Temple and the Poison Dog, and then

Shamans and sea people, as well as the final Skywrath Mage.

As soon as this selection came out, OG thought it was a challenge. When did VG choose so many mages? There must be a main force among the three crispy guys, but when they were divided, even Jiang Xiu didn't expect that the main force turned out to be a poisonous dog. Brother

Poisonous dogs, used by those who refuse.

"Isn't Poison Dog an auxiliary? How can it hit the middle?" Yiyi's mid laner has used many mages, but he has never used Poison Dog. Because the Holy Temple is not easy to defeat the Monkey King, VG put the Rejector in the middle. The Rejector

He is the building search champion. Although he plays the No. 1 position, VG often lets the two of them change lanes, often switching positions to ensure lane superiority.

"The output of Poison Dog is not low. Now the ultimate move and second skill are too strong. High level does not mean that you cannot kill alone, but you have the qualifications to hit!" As long as the mid laner has enough output and is not weak in the lane, it is fine. As for other weaknesses, they are not

This can be compensated for through equipment.

Poison Dog has been revised this time. The second skill has a terrifying output effect, that is, it can remove blood by a percentage, and the maximum level is 40%. It is the nemesis of meaty heroes. The ultimate move A staff has a passive-breaking effect. It’s really

He is qualified to go in the middle, but it is a pity that this hero has stronger defense. After all, the key to saving people is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Qihang selectively forgot about him.

At the beginning of the game, OG, who was not strong online, was the opponent of VG. Except for Alchemy, which had a slight advantage under the protection of two teammates, both the middle and lower lanes were at a disadvantage. Poisonous Dog's drifting poison is a blood-consuming expert. It really stacks up.

Sheng Ke can't stand it.

Xiaolu's passive can restrain the general physical core, but the temple does not rely on basic attacks to hit people, but the ejection of the psychic blade. This will not be affected by Xiaolu's passive, and Xiaolu is also suppressed.

In the middle, the Great Sage stepped forward to finish the damage when the troops came over. The Poisonous Dog passed the level, and Xiao Wai wandered over. The Sea Miner TP, and the Great Sage sent out first blood. The mid laner with control is very scary, so he usually leads with control.

The laning is not strong, so it seems that Poisonous Dog is indeed a very powerful mid laner.

Poison Dog is perfect as a mid laner. The only problem is that he doesn't farm quickly, but it doesn't matter. You don't need to farm money now. You just have the Temple to farm. Poison Dog's floating poison can also open up your vision and drift towards the opposite jungle area.

Suddenly, I saw a bunch of jungles in the opposite jungle area, and also in the next jungle area.

The opposite side is Alchemy. If it is beaten by Alchemy, it is not impossible for Glory to appear in less than ten minutes. But if it is discovered, then it is just a dream to fight. There is no need to call the Holy Church, call the sea people, four people invade the opposite jungle area.

A little crooked but a big one, the poisonous dogs spread poison to attract wild monsters, and the wild area was cleared in a short time.
Chapter completed!
