"This Major is the last Major before TI. Now there is a high probability that three Chinese teams will be directly invited, but extreme situations cannot be ruled out."
Brother Snapper also analyzed this before the Major qualifiers started.
It is theoretically possible for teams like LGD and VG to be eliminated, but the second-tier teams have little hope of finishing in the top six of the Major.
After all, it is the last big competition beforehand, and all the strong teams will want to train, practice a little bit of tactics, and hide their tactics.
"Can Dream make it to the Major?"
"I don't know. To be honest, Dream hasn't played many games. In the training games, their level is still very high, and their winning rate is also very impressive."
Brother Snap analyzed.
Dream’s first match against Ehome.
It should be regarded as the most interesting first round match. The "breakup" between r and Ehome Club was not very pleasant.
After rejoining Dream, r also regained his second youth.
"As for whether I will get some big nuclear revenge for r, I personally don't think it is good."
"The group stage of this Major qualifier is still too important."
"One win or one loss may directly determine your fate."
…
【Dream】vs【Ehome】.
Before the game, Gao Ran and I were still joking about R, saying that R should not be too over the top.
Ehome team, this team is also a long-established and strong team. From the Dota1 period to the present, it has also experienced troughs in the middle.
The most famous thing about this team is probably their coach and mid laner position.
The coach is a xiao8 and TI4 champion who is known as the captain of China. He ranks among the top domestic players in terms of honors and has an excellent overall view. Even though he is currently retired, his strength is stronger than many domestic professional players.
The ladder ranking is even higher than Zhao Hao, r, me, and Ye Jianing.
The other one is their mid laner, Nothing to say.
This is a Southeast Asian player who completed the first 10,000-point achievement in the Chinese server before Gao Ran.
He is currently ranked second on the ladder, second only to Gao Ran.
In other words, the mid laner in this game is a battle between the No. 1 player on the Chinese server ladder and the No. 2 player on the ladder.
In this double-defeat format, it is really important to enter the winner's bracket. Entering the winner's bracket means that you have a high fault tolerance rate.
Even if you lose and fall into the lower bracket, you still have a chance, but if you are in the lower bracket from the beginning, you will go home directly if you lose.
There is no good person in Dream's group.
LGD,CSC,Aster,Ehome,TNT.
After much deliberation, only TNT is easier to beat, and the others are all tough.
LGD and CSC are two top teams, and Dream must win. Against the two first-tier teams, Aster and Ehome, Dream must win.
Dream has also studied a lot of videos of his opponents these days.
After Teacher Sai left, Ehome also had a new player named Carry, Timeline. This new person is also very young and is a carry player from Yanjing.
But to be honest, the playing styles of Timelis, two players with extremely strong personal abilities, are a bit conflicting.
Both of them play at the core position.
It's not impossible to play like this. LGD used to have dual cores of AME and Maybe.
It's just that the style and rhythm of playing this way will be relatively single, and it will be easy for opponents to target you.
The group stage lasted for 5 days, with a Bo2 game every day, and Dream played Ehome in the first game.
The time is at 7pm, prime time.
The other two rounds of games in the group also started in the afternoon. LGD faced CSC in the first round and the battle ended in a draw with a score of 1-1.
Aster defeated TNT 2-0.
On time and on time, most of the anchors chose the one in Group A among the two games in Groups AB.
Teacher Sai’s revenge battle, this gimmick is too good.
"Okay, the game is on."
"It's open, it's open!"
All anchors have entered the viewing system.
Entering the BP stage, Ehome has done a lot of homework!
Directly ban Geomancer, Electric Dog and Spider, three high-burning unique heroes.
"Regular BP is fine."
"Ehome's final selection for this game should be at least good in the middle."
Brother Feng also smiled and said, these heroes must be banned when playing Dream, otherwise it would be a headache to point them out.
It's difficult to target.
Ehome banned Teacher Sai's Werewolf in the fourth move.
Wolf King R is well-deserved, and Ehome knows R very well.
Dream here is still a regular ban, Chen, Shadow Demon and other more annoying heroes.
Point out the dragon knight with one hand.
The hero of Ke 1, Ke 2, and Ke 3 is also a hero that Dream feels has a stronger version and fits the rhythm.
Ehome directly clicked Hidden Thorn and Oracle.
"This Dragon Rider should be in position 1."
"Fire generally doesn't play heroes like Dragon Knight."
"The hero Hidden Thorn is actually very restrained by many Fire heroes. For example, Blue Cat Water Man is quite afraid of Hidden Thorn."
Brother Feng analyzed.
Both sides took people one after another, first of all, me's Mars in position 3, Silence in position 5, supplemented by Little Y in position 4, and finally took out the high-burning Monkey King!
If the middle lane is close combat, Gao Ran can also use Dragon Knight to play the mid laner.
Let the Great Sage fight Gungun and Haimin in the bottom lane.
For the last move, after thinking about it, Ehome clicked on the divine move!
Divine warrior!
Haska!
"Haska! Oh my God!"
"Then Fire in the middle shouldn't be playable."
In the middle, neither the Dragon Knight nor the Monkey King can beat Huska at all.
Ehome's lineup slightly disrupted Dream's rhythm, but it wasn't a big problem.
Because the high-burning hero pool is too deep.
"Give me silence, Monkey King 1, Dragon Rider 3, Mars go and hit 5."
"is that OK."
Gao Ran made arrangements within the team, mainly asking Ye Jianing.
Ye Jianing nodded:
"I can play."
Although the hero Mars is a position 3 hero, it is not a big problem to cooperate with the Monkey King to provide support, and the opponent's double melee in the bottom lane is not very strong.
At least you can play.
"That's it."
"They are very difficult to play online."
Gao Ran said with a confident smile that his hero pool is so deep that he can easily pick up heroes like mid laner Lane and mid laner Silence.
The mid laner's silent fight against Huskar is a very skill-based matchup, at least it's not a situation where the Dragon Knight Monkey King can't beat it at all.
"Can!"
Hearing that Gao Ran was so confident, his teammates also became confident. Brother Xiao He directly ordered the Dragon Knight to play the 3rd position!
When the commentator saw Gao Ran taking Silencer, he felt a little helpless:
"Forced silence and switched to mid lane."
"If Mars gives you a 5 for this..."
"It's a bit strange, but this hero can hit 5."
Brother Snap also said that Gao Ran has never played this hero before, so he doesn’t know how he plays.
They have seen many Huskar mid laners defeating Silence, and they can't defeat it after spending just two Silences.
Moreover, if these two heroes have the same economy, Silent's farming is too slow, and the money farming efficiency is not at the same level as Haskar's.
The performance of R in the top lane of this game is very crucial. Gungun and Haimin are not strong in the lane, so they have a good chance of breaking through this lane.
