"The differences between Chinese and foreign Dota are quite big."
"To be honest, the rhythm of Dota in China is too chaotic right now."
"Playing mahjong in the middle for 5 minutes, I can't say whether it's good or bad, the styles are different."
"I would say that I prefer the playing style of foreign teams. They have clearer ideas and can grasp their own strong periods."
"Have you noticed that our current domestic games basically end in about 30 minutes?"
"The pace is faster. Our team can be fast or slow, so we are relatively adaptable."
Gao Ran said while watching the TI9 finals.
When they practice with LGD in private, their winning rate is not high, mainly because the opponent's rhythm is too fierce and they don't give Dream time to develop.
If Dream wants to play against the opponent, he can only match LGD's fast pace, but this is not Dream's favorite pace.
"Someone asked me how Dream is doing now."
"It's okay. I'm adjusting. I should be leaving the country tomorrow."
"Next week's game."
"According to reliable information, the recent winning rate is pretty good."
"I can't go back? It's impossible. It's not possible. To be fair, I'm so young and handsome. Do you think I'm the club's wealth code..."
The high-burning words also filled the screen with question marks.
On the screen, when the Ti9 final was shown, Ana's big brother Elf cooperated with the lost plane to reverse the team battle, Gao Ran couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This pull..."
"OG likes a lineup with small skills and a lot of skills, and then plays 4 to guarantee 1."
"Actually, the rhythm is quite clear, and the thinking of the game is the clearest among all the teams."
Gao Ran also commented.
Reviewing several TI finals, Gao Ran also watched them at around one o'clock in the middle of the night.
"Brothers, we won't be queuing solo today. We will be queuing solo in the next few days to get points."
"Then I'll watch the Major later. After watching the Major, it's time to end my live streaming journey and prepare for Ti."
"See you tomorrow. Thank you big brother for the gift you gave me today. I'm very grateful."
…
Gao Ran’s nearly one-month live broadcast has also attracted countless loyal fans.
Mainly, the high-burning live broadcast is really good to watch, it’s relaxed and has no swear words, and there are a lot of high-burning exchanges.
And watching the high burning score increase step by step also gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Another point is that there are too many mid lane heroes played by Gao Ran...
The mid laner Bounty Legion, and even the mid laner Ice Sorceress were all brought out to play...
The winning rate is not low, and others can’t learn it even if they want to. It’s very interesting to watch.
Although Gao Ran had a goal of scoring points, he actually played quite casually.
Finally, the high-burning score before the start of the Major was also fixed at around 11,300 points.
Gao Ran also had a phone call with Ye Jianing before the game, and the team is now more focused.
A total of 16 teams participated in the Major.
North America: 3 places
South America: 2 places
Europe: 3 places
CIS region: 2 places
Southeast Asia: 2 places
China area: 3 places
Minor championship: 1 place
Almost all the teams in each division are the best.
The 16 teams are divided into 4 groups. The GSL format will still be used in the group stage, but teams will not be eliminated.
Four group matches will be held within the first two days of the tournament.
From the 3rd day onwards, we will enter the double-elimination knockout stage.
For the offline competition, except for the finals which is BO5, all other games will be BO3.
What is the GSL competition system? It is actually a classification of double-elimination tournament.
To put it simply, 4 teams play a double-elimination tournament, with the top 2 entering the knockout winner’s bracket and the bottom 2 entering the knockout loser’s bracket.
Dream's group is Group B and will compete on the first day.
The opponents in the same group are also quite strong, including the North American champion EG team, the Southeast Asian team Fnatic, and the European powerhouse Liquid.
Group B is a relatively average group in terms of strength.
This Liquid is not the Liquid from the TI9 era. The five members of that Liquid also formed Nigma and were placed in Group A with VG.
Many senior commentators at this Major also invited Gao Ran to commentate, but Gao Ran did not go.
After all, he doesn't like too lively commentary environments and feels like he can't even get a word in.
I originally planned to explain it alone, but Lao Chen said he also wanted to learn a lesson.
So on the day of the Major, there were only two commentators on Gao Ran's side.
"Hello, Hello, can you hear me?"
Lao Chen's voice also sounded in YY.
The main reason is that Lao Chen can't commentate with OB. They are a fixed commentary group.
And Lao Chen is not a professional commentator, but he just wants to watch Ti today.
The group stage matches of the Major were all played in hotels, so there was no live footage.
"Ok, Ok."
Gao Ran adjusted the microphone and officially started another round of his commentary journey.
"It seems your team is having a hard time this time."
"It's definitely not easy with less people."
Gao Ran also said that after all, the main mid laner position is missing, which team he changes to will have a big impact.
For the other three opponents in Group B, on a 100-point scale, EG has about 90 points, while Fnatic and Liquid both have 75 points. Dream doesn't know much about them.
After all, Gao Ran has never seen them play.
But there are opportunities in Dota.
The first match was Group A, and the VG team also appeared first.
In the first round of the match, they faced the South American team BC and easily won 2-0. Then they lost to Nigma 1-2 in the upper bracket final, and defeated Gambit 2-1 in the lower bracket final and successfully entered the upper bracket.
The fight along the way was also very difficult.
Finally it’s time for the Group B match.
Countless viewers are eagerly looking forward to Dream's first World Series in the high-energy live broadcast room.
During the previous games in Group A, Gao Ran showed his vision as a professional player more than once, and his predictions were basically correct.
Dream played EG in the first round.
The EG team doesn’t know much about Dream, an opponent that didn’t appear in the World Championship.
But these faces are all familiar faces.
3 "senior players" who have passed their prime.
Sierra, jump knife, jump knife, me.
The average age of these three cores is definitely the oldest among all participating teams...
"Dream's BP has completely changed."
Lao Chen also said that he was used to watching domestic games, but it was really a bit strange to see the Divination Spider on the opposite side...
"no way."
Gao Ran also smiled.
The hero pool of Jumping Knife and Jumping Knife is definitely different from him.
In the first game, Dream also played a game of Death Prophet plus werewolf's advancement system.
"I want to promote this Dream."
“It doesn’t feel very good to push.”
Gao Ran took a look at EG's lineup and said.
EG is a dual-core lineup of aircraft and purple cats, and its combat effectiveness in the early and mid-term is also very fierce.
The Death Prophet in the middle should not be very bad at beating the Purple Cat.
After the game started, Gao Ran also began to watch the match between the two sides seriously. Although Sumail, the absolute core of the EG team, left, it was still a top 6 team in the Major.
The strength is undisputedly strong.
"The middle lane was blown up."
Lao Chen said helplessly when he saw the last hit in the middle.
EG's mid laner, Abed, is currently ranked number one in the Southeast Asian ladder! His laning ability is extremely fierce, and he directly beat the retired player's jumping knife and jumping knife!
