Chapter 234 The Knockout Opener [Dream] vs [Secret]!
The OG team’s economy was once stretched to 10,000!
The most important thing is that the troll warrior's economy collapsed.
If other heroes can't occupy the middle lane, Topson can go to other lanes to help a little, but Troll is a hero with average ganking ability...
In addition, the spiders wiped out the jungle area, and Topson couldn't make up for it at all!
The moment OG played GG, Chinese Dota was cheering!
The power of Dream completely exceeded their imagination!
Although the angry OG came back quickly in the second set, and it was very miserable, at least they ended up with a 1-1 draw with OG.
Dream was not happy after the 1-1 draw with OG, mainly because they were beaten so badly in the second set.
Except for the middle road, the upper and lower roads collapsed severely.
OG's online processing is so good.
To be honest, Dream is no match for him at all, relying purely on his high-burning personal ability in the middle.
But in the game Dota, it is difficult for two fists to beat four hands. It is impossible to think of 1 against 5.
However, Gao Ran feels that there is no chance of playing OG, but they have to use a less conventional laning method to at least ensure excellence all the way.
Moreover, Chen is a hero who can be banned or banned. Not only can he keep Ana securely, but he can also disgust the mid laner.
Must be banned.
Continuous high-intensity Dota games have also gradually increased Dream's concentration, and he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to preparations for the game.
Every day I am thinking about how to play in the next round.
What went wrong in the last round?
It feels very good to be fully immersed in Dota.
Dream's start to the group stage can be described as almost perfect. All the opponents that deserved a win were won, and OG and C9 were also defeated!
6 wins and 2 losses in 8 games!
In the middle, Sumail didn't suffer too much against Gao Ran. He played a 50-50 draw with his opponent. The early game he won was quite poor, but he took advantage of Roshan to seize a wave of opportunities and complete the comeback.
Regarding other Chinese teams.
LGD in Group A had 6 wins and 2 losses, VG had 5 wins and 3 losses, CSC had 2 wins and 4 losses (a bye), and IG in Group B had 1 win and 5 losses (a bye).
Several Chinese teams, CSC and IG have to climb out of the elimination zone first.
There are 9 teams in each group in the group stage, and only one team will be eliminated.
You can't say that you came to play a Ti game and you can't even enter the venue. That would be too embarrassing.
Dream's status is also constantly adjusted during the game, and he is familiar with the styles of various foreign teams.
They lost 0-2 against EG, tied 1-1 against VP, and won 2-0 against Fnatic!
In 7 rounds, Dream achieved an excellent record of 9 wins and 5 losses!
It is currently ranked third in Group B, second only to OG and EG.
In the last round, Dream faces Liquid. As long as they win one game, the winner's bracket will be secure.
If we lose both games, there is still a theoretical possibility of a loser's bracket.
However, Liquid is not particularly strong. After 7 rounds, they ranked 8th in the group with a record of 3 wins and 11 losses...
Already on the verge of elimination.
This game with Dream is also a life and death battle!
The first set gave Dream a head-on blow! I took a bite of Dream.
Dream, who was more energetic in the second set, also won the final game.
Completed his group stage with a record of 10 wins and 6 losses!
This record can definitely make it into the top 8!
After the group stage ended, Dream's players also breathed a sigh of relief. The next knockout round is the real battle.
Their opponents are not yet known, but Dream’s Ti performance is really surprising.
Group B must finish before Group A!
After all games are over, the standings are as follows:
[Ti11 Group B standings]
1:【OG】13 wins and 3 losses
2:【EG】12 wins and 4 losses
3:【Dream】10 wins and 6 losses
4:【VP】9 wins and 7 losses
5:【C9】8 wins and 8 losses
6:【Fnatic】6 wins and 10 losses
7:【IG】5 wins and 11 losses
8:【Liquid】4 wins and 11 losses
8:【Gambit】4 wins and 11 losses
…
Liquid and Gambit compete in a life-or-death playoff.
In the end, Liquid had the last laugh, and Gambit became the first team to be eliminated!
This vengeful Zhao Hao laughed so happily when Gambit was eliminated that he even ate two extra bowls at dinner, laughing while eating.
The battle situation in Group A is also very fierce!
LGD finished second in the group with a final score of 12 wins and 4 losses, and the first place went to Secret Team.
VG finished fourth in the group and entered the winner's group in a thrilling manner. The team eliminated in Group A was also INF. They did not continue the dark horse myth of 2 years ago and were eliminated with 3 wins and 13 losses.
In this way, the top players in groups A and B are OG and Secret respectively, and they can also choose the 3 and 4 players from the other two groups as their opponents in the first round of the winner group.
All Dream can do is wait to be chosen.
But they really have a headache. Whether it's secrets or LGD, they are both tough nuts to crack...
They are all favorite teams to win the championship.
Compared with Dream, they are more willing to keep it secret. After all, it is a bit cruel to fight against the teams in LGD's own division. Chinese fans will not be happy no matter whether they win or lose.
In the lower bracket, CSC and C9 will choose their opponents.
All spectators are waiting with the teams for the selection of these teams. After the group stage, they can have a day off, and then they will enter the knockout stage.
When Dream got the result of the match, he waved his hand helplessly.
No matter who we fight, it’s a tough battle! There’s really no way out when it comes to keeping secrets, and it’s a bloody battle...
The lineup has been announced!
In the winner group, Team Secret took the initiative to choose Team Dream as their opponent, while OG chose VG as their opponent!
Upper half of winner's bracket:
【Secret】vs【Dream】
【EG】vs【Nigma】
Lower half of winner's bracket:
【OG】vs【VG】
【LGD】vs【VP】
…
In the lower bracket, CSC also selected Liquid as their opponent in the first round, avi!
Other teams are also automatically formed.
Lower bracket top half:
【CSC】vs【Liquid】
【TSM】vs【Fnatic】
Lower half of loser bracket:
【C9】vs【Liquid】
【IG】vs【TNC】
…
The only thing that the Chinese audience is thankful for is that there seems to be no civil war. If there was a civil war, they would really be one and the other.
But Dream really had a narrow escape from death when facing the Demon King's secret team...
But come to think of it, there seems to be no easy team to beat in the upper bracket, so let’s fight and see.
The state shown in the high-burning group stage is very good, and it is not without opportunities.
As the defending champions, Secret Team is also very impressive this year. Positions 1 and 2 are both players with very strong personal abilities, as strong as those in the first position.
Mid laner Nisha also has a very deep hero pool. Gao Ran can play spider Meepo, and Nisha can also play!
Nisha is originally from Poland. This time she plays in Katowice, Poland, which is also Nisha’s home court!
He is also a talented boy.
The confrontation in the middle is likely to be the key to this game.
But from the perspective of strength, Dream's chances are too small...
Secret is currently ranked No. 1 in the world.
Dream ranks 49th in the world.
Even Dream fans, who have always been confident, feel that the probability of victory is very low.
Dream did not waste one day of rest between Ti's group stage and knockout stage and started preparing for the secret opening game!
