Chapter 230 2021 Katowice Ti11DOTA2 International Invitational Tournament!
"DreamFire!"
"DreamFire!"
"DreamFire!"
The moment Dream appeared! All the audience stood up and cheered for Dream! Cheered for Gao Ran!
As a new generation of star players, Gao Ran undoubtedly has the largest traffic in Dota in recent years!
Gao Ran walked in front of the team and raised his hands in response to the cheers of the audience.
Although it is the first time to participate in Dota2 offline competition, Gao Ran is not nervous!
On the contrary, I felt like I was fighting only at the scene.
The venue in Singapore was not full, but there were probably thousands of spectators.
The five members of Dream sat in the competition room, and Gao Ran also sat in the center of the team.
Next to Gao Ran are Ye Jianing and Zhao Hao.
The two on the side are two veterans.
In e-sports competitions, the players are generally directed at the center, and the early rhythm is usually driven by Ye Jianing and Zhao Hao.
In the first game against IG, Dream was also very excited!
In addition, I am relatively relaxed, not so concerned about gains and losses, and the fight is very smooth!
IG usually plays a lot with Dream in training. To be honest with this team, games and training matches are completely different.
Maybe it’s because me and Mr. Sai are both competition-type players, and Gao Ran just doesn’t have stage fright.
No matter what game or occasion, I have never seen Gao Ran perform abnormally.
This is the first newcomer in the true sense!
IG's play style is very similar to Dream.
The mid laner is also the main core, and position 1 is the functional position.
But in direct confrontation, Gao Ran completely suppressed the Emo master, and Dream was better than IG in terms of stability and mid-term rhythm control!
Easily take away IG 2-0!
Approaching Ti, Dream's state is really strong visible to the naked eye.
TNC was also shocked when they saw Dream's strength.
They also participated in the last Major, and I didn’t expect that Dream’s mid laner would be so good.
They finally know how Dream managed to defeat the Chinese division where there are so many strong players...
This mid laner's personal ability is outrageously strong.
TNC has not yet played against Dream, but from the group stage to the knockout stage, this mid laner named Fire cannot be suppressed by anyone.
Not even Emo.
This is the former No. 1 newcomer to Dota in China.
The winner's bracket final on the second day, TNC versus Dream, was also a game that attracted a lot of attention from countless viewers!
Because TNC's mid laner Armel is also the absolute leader in the team, ranking among the top 5 in Southeast Asia.
It's as powerful as Emo.
TNC also played very seriously in this mid lane duel, they wanted to test Dream's strength.
Dream played the high-energy Blue Cat in the first game?
A unique skill!
Dream fans are very excited, this is one of the most explosive heroes with unique skills.
So far, the winning rate of passers-by is 100%, and the winning rate of career is 100%!
Although I have lost a lot on another account, the audience doesn’t know.
There is no need to hide Blue Cat, the hero Dream, as any team can find the information.
The strength of this blue cat far exceeded TNC’s expectations!
In the middle, the Blue Cat fought against Shadow Demon. It was originally a line where Shadow Demon had the upper hand, but Gao Ran suddenly used his personal ability to beat him back...
And he completed the ultimate single kill at level 6 before Shadow Demon...
Although he was also killed by TNC Soy Sauce who arrived later, this blue cat was completely unstoppable.
The opposing lineup is suitable for the Blue Cats.
By the mid-game, Fire has achieved super!
You must know that Dream's opponent is TNC...
Although it was just a warm-up match, fans were still excited to see such a strong performance from Dream!
2 to 0! 2 to 0! 2 to 0!
From the beginning of the group stage, Dream did not lose a set, winning completely and entering the finals!
Although they lost to TNC 1-2 in the final and regretted missing out on the championship, Dream felt good about themselves and neither team used their full strength.
Using all your strength now is equivalent to giving information to competitors.
As soon as the game ended, not only Dream, but also several other Ti participating teams flew to Katowice!
They have to adjust the time difference in advance and adapt to the environment to find their status.
Katowice is a small city in Poland.
It took less than ten years to complete the transformation from "Polish Coal Capital" to "European E-Sports Center".
Although there are not many e-sports clubs in Poland, the e-sports atmosphere is very strong.
Every year, whether it is CSGO, StarCraft 2 or other projects, a competition is held in Katowice!
This is also the first time that the Ti competition of the Dota project has come to Katowice, and countless fans at home and abroad have bought tickets to prepare for this year's Ti grand event.
The draw ceremony for the group stage will be held in the hotel approximately 2 days before the game.
All 18 teams participating in the main competition will first compete in the group stage of Group AB.
Each of the 9 teams in Group A and Group B will play a Bo2 round robin, with a total of 8 Bo2 games and 16 games.
At the end of all games, the 1st-4th place in the group will enter the winner's group, and the 5th-8th place in the group will enter the loser's group.
The 9th place finishers from both groups will be eliminated.
The knockout matches are just like the usual double-elimination format. The teams in the winner's group are eliminated in both games. The teams in the loser's group have only one life. If they lose, they are eliminated.
Originally, Ti said today that it would expand its army to 20 troops, but this plan seems to have been shelved.
Different from the Major, Ti's A and B group leaders have the right to choose their opponents for the knockout rounds. For example, if Dream is the group leader, they can choose an opponent from another group's 3rd or 4th place.
The same goes for the losers group.
The 5th place finishers from both groups can actively choose their opponents.
Other opponents automatically form groups.
When playing Ti, it is very important to enter the upper bracket. Not everyone has Ti7. Liquid has the ability to defeat 7 in the loser bracket. One more life means a higher fault tolerance rate.
…
Katowice is a very beautiful city.
Gao Ran came to Europe for the first time, and sometimes the exotic customs are indeed more attractive.
This city is also a city with a strong cultural heritage. There are many opera houses. If you just walk into one of them, you can enjoy moving operas.
The church is also an indispensable part of a journey through this city.
However, Dream doesn't have much time to play. At most, he goes out for a walk every day after dinner or during breaks. Most of the time, he stays in the hotel to prepare for Ti11.
This is true for all teams.
As the most important game of the year, you are not only responsible for yourself but also for your team, teammates, and club.
If they get a good result, they will have enough time to visit the city after the competition.
2021 Katowice Ti11DOTA2 International Invitational Tournament.
Dream came here for the first time and met many characters that could only be seen on the computer before.
Miracle Brother, Sumail, these talented players are all famous, but it is a pity that Dream is unknown...
Except for the Chinese team and two Southeast Asian teams, all other teams did not take them seriously.
I don’t even want to play against Dream in training matches.
