Originally, water lovers from Southeast Asia and China did not pay much attention to this competition.
Simply because of the addition of the super popular new team Dream.
Because even in Southeast Asia, the local teams in Southeast Asia are not as popular as expected...
Compared to a team as powerful as TNatic, Dream is actually more popular.
As the last game before Ti, Dream is not as serious as expected.
It's not that they don't have a professional attitude, but it's because before the TI competition, they can't put their prepared tactical system into play.
We can only use some old tactics, such as the water man system, and there is definitely nothing new in the fight.
Although the prize money is quite generous, the Dream players are more relaxed and want to experience the atmosphere of offline competition.
Although the last Major was an offline event, they only played one live elimination round before going home...
But the feeling at that time really impressed Zhao Hao and Ye Jianing.
In the first game of the group stage, Dream also played very easily in the training room of the hotel. Against the NE team, it took a total of 31 minutes to defeat the opponent 2-0 in the two sets.
To be honest, the Thai team NE Team should be the worst opponent they have ever faced...
It feels like the third-tier teams in the Major auditions are better than them.
This NE club seems to be quite professional, but unfortunately the members of the Dota division are all players outside of the 1,000 members.
It will be gone as soon as the laning period with Dream is over.
But even though it’s a cruel show, Dream fans are so excited to watch it!
The reason lies in this mid lane alignment.
In the second set, the high-energy Shadow Demon single-killed the opposing mid laner Parker 4 times...
4 times!
Gao Ran was also a bit speechless, the opponent's damage judgment was too cunning, and he felt a bit frightened after the first game.
As soon as the high-burning shadow pressure raised his hand, Parker used the phase shift and dodge skills...
It is already difficult to fight, and coupled with the high-burning laning skills, constant cancellation of skill casting, and smooth last-hitting, I killed Parker alone at level 3...
Later, Parker will no longer be able to occupy the line.
The first set lasted 17 minutes and the second set lasted 14 minutes. They easily took away the opponent and got a good start.
Match 2 against the mini driver!
This Southeast Asian team has not been seen in the international arena for 2 years. The last time I saw them was in the main game of TI9.
The level of this team is far from what it was two years ago, and now the team is basically made up of young players.
Dream's current strength is not only strong but also stable. The only one in China that can stabilize Dream is LGD. A team of this strength is simply too stable to play mini-drivers.
In this Southeast Asian Invitational Tournament, there are only four truly powerful teams.
Fnatic,IG,Dream,TNC.
The strength of the other four teams is two levels lower.
The final round of Group A.
Dream faced off against Fnatic again. This was another match between the two teams a month later.
This time it’s all Dream, and Fnatic has never played against them, but according to friends in China, this team is very powerful!
As the main training opponent this time, Dream is also much more serious than the previous two rounds.
He directly used the high-burning mid laner Waterman.
As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether there is...
Are you sure this Dream is the same team as the Dream one month ago?
Fnatic was completely dumbfounded.
"Damn it, their mid laner is so violent."
During Fnatic's match against Dream, the team's mid laner Moon also said in amazement.
To be honest, he has never experienced this kind of suppressive power from the mid laner...
Water Man vs. Blue Cat: The water man is a little easier to beat in this lane, but it's not like this.
The player opposite called Fire has a terrifyingly solid basic skills...
And it’s perfect for transferring hatred.
Moon felt like she was being played by him...
Fnatic is a team whose biggest players are their positions 1 and 3. Position 1 ranks among the top 5 in Southeast Asia and has extremely strong personal abilities.
The 3rd position 3 icer is also an experienced veteran.
Moon is ranked 44th in the Southeast Asian ladder.
Because the overall level of Southeast Asia is not as high as that of the national server, when converted to the national server, it is probably the level of a 1-2 line mid laner.
And compared to domestic mid laners, Gao Ran feels that his basic laning skills are average.
Therefore, during the laning phase, you can gain a great advantage through basic skills.
What this Dream team is showing now is their most basic tactical system, the 4-guarantee-1 system.
The high-burning water man is very stable, but his equipment is always very aggressive.
After the Void Spirit Sword is cloned, it can also be fired directly!
Not even BKB came out.
Fnatic didn't know Dream well at all, and they didn't suppress the high-burning rhythm in the mid-term, allowing the waterman to develop at an almost terrifying speed.
Several consecutive waves of team battles.
The high-burning cuts can be described as perfect!
Several consecutive waves of team battles made the water man so arrogant that he flew into the air!
Constantly use your own ultimate to copy and play all your skills!
Directly defeated Fnatic with almost no solution and won the first game.
After the first set, Fnatic was completely stunned.
what's the situation?
Were they crushed?
Even TNC can't beat them in this situation. After the laning period and in the mid-term, the opponent's operations are much better than them.
This game is more interesting for Chinese audiences.
Because everyone knows that Dream is not serious, why!
Because the opponent’s Ban is wrong!
In the first game on the opposite side, the geomancer was not banned, the spider was not banned, and even the blue cat was not banned...
But Dream hasn’t been selected yet!
God knows how happy Dream fans are to see this. On the one hand, they want to see what kind of geomancer blue cat Dream will come up with to kill the opponent. On the other hand, they also hope that Dream can hide his strength before Ti.
In the second set, Gao Ran selected a mid laner...
Chinese fans know how powerful the high-burning mid laner is, but Fnatic don’t know that!
The Queen was directly cut down by Gao Ran's army in the middle. Although Gao Ran was able to transport a lot of supplies, the Queen's economy was almost untouched.
He can't make up for it with last-ditch hits, and he's not afraid of him even if he defeats the consumptive legion.
He was punished in the middle of two consecutive games.
Dream also advanced to the knockout rounds with a record of 6-0 and 3 wins.
In the knockout round, they will face the second-place IG team in Group B.
They also lost to TNC 1-2 in the group stage.
TNC is still a very strong team, but teams like MajD and VG can barely reach a 50-50 level.
It is also considered the most powerful team in Southeast Asia.
However, Dream’s strong performance still attracted the attention of FnatiC!
This Dream is too powerful!
Their thinking is very simple, Ti will have one more opponent?
Originally, the intensity of this year's Ti was high, and there was no such thing as a bad team. Except for INF, which was barely considered a bad team, the other teams could not guarantee a guaranteed win.
Now tell them that the weakest level Dream is so strong?
They were completely stunned.
How can we break through this Ti group stage?
How to enter the winner group?
When Dream came to the knockout venue, many fans came to support them!
Holding Dream's support sign high to cheer them on.
The feeling of a live game makes Gao Ran even more excited.
