Chapter 228 Southeast Asia Invitational Tournament
Dream only had one day off and was back into a new round of preparations!
There is no other way, Ti comes first.
No one wants to leave any regrets. They put in all their efforts in advance, so at least they won't complain when they lose.
I can only blame myself for not being as skilled as others.
Dream made it to the TI main event, and many of Gao Ran’s good friends sent congratulatory messages to Gao Ran.
Ti will start in mid-August.
Dream’s plan is to go to Southeast Asia to participate in the Southeast Asia Invitational Tournament around July 23, and then fly directly to Katowice.
It should be the same schedule as the IG team.
The completion of the domestic Ti qualifiers is considered the end of a stage. In addition to the five Chinese teams participating in Ti, other clubs have also officially taken a holiday.
Domestic teams and training matches between teams can only choose between these teams.
Dream is also constantly researching new systems, including the high-burning Meepo system and the spider system. Foreign teams don't know them, so these two high-burning unique heroes will definitely have the opportunity to play.
When foreigners study the selection of new teams, they usually start with their historical selections and historical records.
But in Dream’s domestic competition, the two heroes Geomancer and Spider have never been selected once...
This leaves big data without data. Except for the Chinese team, who would know that Dream’s mid laner Gao Ran has such a unique skill?
Being selected is giving Dream a chance, and Dream must seize it.
Shortly after the China Qualifiers ended!
The qualifiers for each major competition area have also ended!
Except for the top 12 teams that are directly invited.
The six teams that advanced to the 2019 DOTA2 International Invitational Tournament through the qualifiers are:
Southeast Asia: Fnatic
CIS Division:Navi
South American Division:Infamous
China Division:Dream
European Division: Liquid
North American Division:TSM
Currently, 18 participating teams (12 directly invited teams + 6 teams appearing in the qualifiers) in the six major regions of "Dota2" Ti11 have been officially announced.
They are:
(12 direct invitations) Secret,VP,VG,EG,Nigma,LGD,C,OG,IG,CSC,Gambit.
(6 teams qualified in the qualifiers) FnatiF, Dream, Liquid, TSM.
TI11 will kick off in one month, and the group stage will begin on August 15th!
Seeing this year's Ti11 roster, everyone is speechless and can only look forward to it.
It feels like this is the strongest Ti list in the past ten years.
Basically, all the top players did not fail. Except that it was a pity that Team A did not advance, everything else was as expected.
Everyone is familiar with the five teams in the Chinese division, so I won’t talk about them.
In addition to EG, C9 in North America, led by Sumail this year, should not be underestimated.
Not to mention other regions, which are slightly weaker in terms of paper strength.
There are only a few teams.
As soon as the list came out, netizens from various competition regions also helped create a ranking chart for these 18 teams.
Although Chinese players are very dissatisfied with Dream's tiering, this is a common thought among Dota fans around the world.
T1:
T2:LGD,VG,VP,igma
T3:C,Liquid
T4:IG,Gambit,Fnatiavi,TSM
T5:INF,Dream
…
There is no way, Dream’s last Major really left a deep impression on people.
With 0 wins and 6 losses, the key matches were also ugly. Every set was on the way to a comeback, and it felt like there was no advantage.
In the hearts of Dota fans around the world, it has been branded that they can only fight civil wars but not foreign wars.
There are simply too many teams like this in Dota.
Of course Dream himself doesn't care, they even hope that these people will think of them as lowly as possible.
It's best not to pay attention to them, a team has the best chance of achieving its best record without being targeted.
In order to prepare for this Ti, Dad Ye also equipped the team with a complete team.
Where you live, there will be tournament organizers, mainly in terms of food. In a foreign country, the Chinese restaurants the team finds may not necessarily be authentic.
Instead of doing this, Dad Ye simply found a team to go with Dream to provide food specifically for Dream, which also reduced the possibility of food affecting the competition in a foreign country.
This is partly because Ye Jianing is in the team, but more importantly because Ye’s father sees hope in this team.
He cannot help the team during the game.
Even the coach can't help the team with equipment. He can only make the team more comfortable based on some basic conditions.
Dream has been practicing very hard during this period.
The club also often gives extra meals to the players in the evening, and Ye Jianing has gained a few pounds.
Although she has always been concerned about this matter, Ye Jianing is already very thin, so it's okay to have Gao Ran's comfort.
This period of time in the club was still very happy, at least it should be Ye Jianing's happiest period.
Several domestic Ti teams have also increased their training volume and are making final preparations for Ti.
…
After accepting another media interview, Dream officially embarked on a journey to Southeast Asia.
The Southeast Asia Invitational Tournament is also held in Singapore.
Southeast Asia has a very good e-sports atmosphere, especially there are many Dota enthusiasts.
Dream never imagined that he would be so popular in Southeast Asia...
There was no competition yet, so when Dream arrived at the venue first, he was surrounded by many Southeast Asian fans!
Gao Ran and the others also generously signed autographs for their fans.
"Come on Ti!"
"Come on Ti!"
Fans in Southeast Asia also cheer for Dream in Chinese.
Many legendary players from Southeast Asia have played professionally in China.
Moreover, the living environment of Chinese e-sports clubs is now better than that of Southeast Asia.
Not just Dota, but also PUBG, LOL, and there are only a handful of teams in Southeast Asia.
This Southeast Asia Invitational Tournament is equivalent to calling all the teams that can be named in Southeast Asia.
Among the 8 teams, 2 are Chinese teams, Dream, IG, and 6 Southeast Asian teams.
Among them, FnatiC is also a Ti participating team.
Dream’s team Fnatic is also relatively familiar to them, having directly encountered them in the last Major.
At that time, Fnatic also easily defeated Dream with a score of 2-0.
During the Chinese qualifiers, they were also playing in the Southeast Asian qualifiers and didn't pay much attention to Dream.
All they know is that Dream's main mid laner didn't come last time, but this time everyone should be there.
Although this Southeast Asia Invitational Tournament is viewed by several major participating teams as a warm-up match.
However, the management ran it very formally, and the venue was also a venue with nearly 10,000 people.
The 8 teams are divided into two groups. In the group stage, there is a round robin within the team. The top 2 teams are in the winner group and the bottom 2 are in the loser group.
Then there is the double-elimination tournament, the format is relatively clear and simple.
Dream was placed in Group A. The opponents in the group also included two good teams, Fnatic and MiniDriver, as well as a Thai team called NE.
It looks like a team of fish belly.
Only the knockout stage will be held in the venue, and we will see how many Dota fans in Southeast Asia will come to the venue.
