For Dream and CDEC, both teams feel that this matchup is the most comfortable matchup, compared to the other two teams in the upper bracket, CSC and VG.
Obviously it's better to fight each other.
Dream himself doesn't particularly like the 12 noon game. According to Gao Ran, he means getting up at 9 o'clock, eating at 10 o'clock, and then warming up at 11 o'clock.
This time is indeed a bit early for an e-sports player.
But after all, it is the last career period for r and me, and they also want to get results.
Although I don’t know where Gao Ran learned it from, but since young players have done this, they can only follow the routine of young players.
I didn’t even watch Zard’s night live broadcast.
This knockout round is so crucial, whoever wins will advance to the main round of the Major.
If you lose, you have to go down and fight the winner of LGD and RNG, which is a disaster.
"I see you didn't sleep well, brother Xiao He."
Gao Ran said with a smile while eating breakfast.
You can tell by looking at the small dark circles under Brother Xiao He's eyes that he didn't sleep deeply.
"There's nothing you can do about it. For someone who stays up late all year round, you told me to go to bed early, and I lay in bed for an hour before falling asleep."
"And it feels like a state of light sleep. I don't know if you can understand it."
r drank yogurt and raised his hand:
"plus one."
"But just wash your face later. It's not a big problem."
Indeed, there are still more than 2 hours before the game, which is enough time for them to take a breather.
Among the high-burning thoughts, e-sports competitions require a warm-up, so that you can integrate into the game faster.
After a simple warm-up, Team Dream entered the competition room first.
The first day of the game will eliminate all four Bo3s in the first round of the winner's bracket and the first round of the loser's bracket. The game time is from 12 noon to 12 p.m. The game between Dream and CDEC is also on the first day.
One game.
Both teams have absolute cores, AME and Fire.
One is in position 1 and the other is in position 2.
CDEC's mid laner Xm is ranked third in the ladder and is known as "Little Maybe", second only to Gao Ran and Ehome mid laner Nts.
However, he is often evaluated as low-scoring and high-energy because the level he displayed in the game is far from as high as his ladder score.
They were indeed amazing when they debuted and were hailed as Maybe's successor, but because their style of play was team-based, the competition was not outstanding.
He's not too young now.
"Gao Ran, what is your rank on the ladder?"
"I didn't even notice that you won so many games."
After entering the host, r also took a look at Gao Ran's record. The green page showed basically the number of games won.
"Let me see, I don't know either."
Open your own ladder points with high burning point, 10420.
"10470."
Everyone: "..."
"Find a time to make a call of 11,000 or 12,000?"
"You think too highly of me."
Gao Ran also laughed and said that his ladder winning rate is probably above 60. Even so, it will not be easy to score a few hundred points.
And the key is that we don’t have much time now.
If they advance through the qualifiers, they will go to the Major. If they don't advance, they will go to the national e-sports competition.
Then they will start preparing for Ti. They also discussed it during their own meeting. Even if there is no direct invitation quota for Ti, as long as they do well in the Ti auditions, they will have a great chance of making it out of China.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go, come on, brothers!"
"Have a good fight!"
"come on!"
Entering the BP screen, several people from Dream also encouraged each other.
As for how BP will be banned, Dream has discussed it very clearly yesterday and this morning.
…
"Neither Dream nor CDEC have entered the Major this season. No matter who wins, it will be a new team entering the Major."
"Look at the BP of both sides."
At the commentary table, Brother Snapper also said.
BP is a very interesting part of the game in Dota. Dream bans first and chooses first, directly banning four heroes: Death Prophet, Shadow Demon, Mars, and Hydroman.
Death Prophet is Xm’s unique mid laner hero. It fits very well with CDEC’s system. Let’s not talk about Shadow Demon. He is worthy of playing against anyone in the middle. He is very annoying with this hero.
Mars is the regular ban, and Aquaman is AME's signature hero.
Although there was a slight problem with the Aquaman in the Ti8 finals, it is undeniable that AME's Aquaman is very powerful.
Moreover, the mid lane hero that Dream wants to choose is a bit afraid of watermen.
The people here are also very interesting. In addition to banning Geomancer and Spider, they did not ban the high-burning Blue Cat or other mid lane heroes.
Instead, he chose to ban Centaur and Timbersaw, two T1-level position 3 heroes.
In this way, all three popular No. 3 positions are banned, and Dream can only choose other No. 3 positions.
"It seems that these professional teams all have the same understanding, that although Fire is powerful, this hero is not worthy of being banned."
"Fire himself didn't take this hero carelessly."
In the first round of selection for both sides, the first hero selected by Dream is a swing hero.
Dai Ze.
Shadow Priest.
Is this a position 1, Dazzle, a position 2, a position 3, or a support position?
In turn, CDEC also named a swing hero, Fire Girl.
May 2 may 4.
CDEC selected the Oracle, and Dream won Zhao Hao's unique skill, Sea People.
Entering the second round of selection, CDEC directly selected Underlord to defend and advance, because Daze is a hero who can indeed speed up the attack.
But Dream is not false at all.
In such a critical game, R's werewolf was sacrificed!
"The Wolf King is coming!"
"Wolf King, fuck..."
Several commentators exclaimed that after getting the hero Werewolf, Dream made it clear that it would advance.
This is their play style based on CDEC's system, which is a No. 5 Daze paired with a No. 1 Werewolf.
Sure enough, CDEC selected a hero like Phantom Spearman for AME who is very capable in the early and mid-term. He can join the team after only ten minutes of separation, and Dream's push lineup has no AOE.
Dream also pointed out the Tide without hesitation, this is the lineup they expected.
Click out the first 4 hands.
CDEC: Fire Girl, Oracle, Underlord, Monkey
Dream: Daze, Sea People, Werewolf, Tide
CDEC has also been thinking about the last mid laner of BanDream for a long time.
"It's either Blue Cat or Leshrac. It's a choice between these two heroes."
"I think Leshrac is perfect. It has output and can advance the lane. It's not weak."
Brother Snapper analyzed it seriously, and the water people also agreed. This lineup is either Blue Cat or Leshik.
CDEC has no control, Blue Cat is also very good, but TS is more suitable.
"Ban the blue cat anyway."
"Then it must be Leshrac."
All commentators spoke with certainty.
Unfortunately, Team Dream's BP is never that easy to guess.
Dream finally named this mid-lane hero, which all the commentators did not expect.
Dwarf helicopter!
"airplane?!"
"hiss……"
"I don't think the plane is as good as the Leshrac."
