The heroes picked in the high-burning middle lane are not very strong heroes. Sometimes, heroes such as Aquaman and Blackbird are picked who are relatively weak in the lane.
But in W33, he is good at what he does, but he has a few tools and unique skills that are really a headache.
For example, Gao Ran takes a hero like Water Man, and W33 hits a bat...
Even if Gao Ran has three heads and six arms, he can't beat him.
Even if he uses a bat, it will disrupt Dream's tactical deployment...
It is estimated that Nigma also kept W33 because of his ability.
He and Miracle brother, one takes resources and the other does not, they complement each other perfectly.
There is also the unique Templar Assassin, who defeated countless opponents in a series of TI9 games.
Two words, very annoying.
Compared to Nigma's style, Dream is more willing to play against EG, even if EG is stronger.
But they even won the secret, so they didn’t necessarily lose against EG, right?
…
After Dream won the victory, he was not in a hurry to go back to the hotel. He came to the team box to watch the upper bracket match between EG and Nigma.
The winner will also be their opponent.
Dream can go back and watch the loser's bracket game slowly. The winner's bracket semi-finals are the day after tomorrow, and they still have two days of rest and preparation time, today and tomorrow.
In fact, Dream is well prepared for these strong teams.
In the hotel, you just need to keep your energy up and beat passers-by to stay in shape.
About 15 minutes later, the second game of the first round of the winner group also started!
EG vs. Nigma!
These are also two very popular teams.
For a team like Dream, they pay more attention to the selection of both lineups.
really.
Nigma chose a mid-range bat!
"Ouch, these hands are so dirty."
"I just can't stand this."
Gao Ran has a headache. It doesn't matter if his opponent's skills are good. How can Gao Ran's skills be worse than his?
I'm just afraid of this...
Hero suppression.
"Brother Miracle is against the mage."
"Nigma is going to win this game."
Serra looked at the lineups on both sides and felt that Nigma was slightly easier to play.
Anti-mage blood defeats Abed's blue cat.
Moreover, the pressure on the online anti-mage facing a position 3 is not very great.
"I also think Nigma is going to win."
Ye Jianing also said.
In the first set, all Dream players were optimistic about Nigma!
In the end, Nigma really won! Although there were two waves of mistakes in the mid-term, Miracle's anti-mage was too fat!
Although my teammates are all poor.
However, if one person in the game has explosive fat and a level ahead of the economy, the team can also win.
The game reached 44 minutes, and EG knocked out GG!
Nigma leads 1 to 0!
At this time, Luo Xiangnan also delivered Dream's lunch. Several members of Dream and the staff ate lunch in an exclusive box while watching the game.
It's really pleasant...
In the second set, EG also used its signature aircraft system to move back to the first set, and the two sides fought fiercely until the third game!
There were also differences of opinion within the Dream team regarding the lineup for the third game.
"I think EG has won. EG feels better than Nigma."
Brother Xiao He also said firmly.
"What are you betting on? I bet on Nigma to win."
Zhao Hao also smiled.
In the end, three young players, Gao Ran, Zhao Hao, and Ye Jianing, were optimistic about Nigma.
Brother Serra and Xiao He are optimistic about EG.
The decisive game was also very close, and the game lasted for nearly 3 hours.
In the last wave of Roshan groups, EG made a huge mistake...
Miracle brother Shuiren made a perfect cut and got 4 kills to end the game!
As a result, Nigma also advanced to the upper bracket semi-finals with a score of 2-1! It will compete with Dream for a spot in the upper bracket finals!
As soon as this matchup came out, everyone felt that Dream had a chance to enter the top 3!
As long as they win Nigma, they will be at least in the top 3!
"Go back after watching CSC."
"OK."
After the 2 games in the upper bracket, there are only 4 games left in today's games.
The four games in the first round of the lower bracket are all Bo1.
It is very cruel. The losing team will go home directly and become the 12-16th place in Ti11. The winner will have a Bo3 confrontation with the team that fell from the winner group.
The first game is CSC vs. Liquid.
The strength of the two teams should be about the same...
CSC also doesn’t want to be the first team to go home in the knockout rounds.
IG's game is the last one, so I definitely can't wait, but I can still take a look at this first Dream game.
CSC and Liquid also showed an extremely obscene game!
In the Bo1 game, both sides did not dare to take the risk, making the game very boring...
The number of people is also very small.
It wasn’t until the second wave of Roshan Group that the winner was decided!
CSC also successfully defeated Liquid to advance to the next round. They will face the secret devil who was defeated by Dream in the second round of the lower bracket tomorrow...
Bo3 war.
Judging from the strength of both sides, CSC definitely has little chance of winning, but Dream's strong win over Secret today also gave CSC a lot of confidence.
…
After watching the game, Dream got up and went back to the hotel, but it was almost dinner time.
They went back to the hotel in the evening to study the video. They focused on Nigma and probably watched the other three games.
【TSM】vs【Fnatiatic also won thrillingly.
It took 64 minutes to win the game with a late team fight.
【avi】.
This was a crushing game. Sumail had 20 kills and 1 kill, a perfect carry!
Demonstrated unparalleled personal strength.
【IG】vs【TNC】.
This is a game that makes Chinese players very sad.
Five Chinese teams, CSC and Dream, won the first round. VG and LGD have not yet appeared, and IG was eliminated.
In this game, TNC also showed a stronger strength than IG, winning the battle in 27 minutes.
With this, the first day of competition is all over.
All 4 eliminated teams were also produced.
Tomorrow there will still be a 4 Bo3 match.
First, there are two games in the lower half of the upper bracket. LGD, VG, OG, and VP will all make strong appearances.
Then there will be two games in the second round of the lower bracket.
It has little to do with Dream.
Their game took place around the evening of the third day of the knockout round.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, in addition to studying Nigma's game videos, Dream also carefully studied their BP during this period.
Nigma's style of play is a 4-guaranteed-1 system.
This system of 4 guarantees 1 is very pure...
Because other teams' 4 guarantees 1, including OG or Dream, the other core will also choose a pseudo-core hero with early fighting ability to guarantee.
But Nigma's mid lane can be played as a pure tool player.
This makes his hero selection very changeable, as long as he can play well in the middle lane.
Nigma's system hasn't changed much over the years, and it's a team that suffers from a lack of players.
This year's Ti and Nigma's performance was also quite strong.
In the process of preparing for the game, Dream analyzed some of the mid lane heroes that Nigma mid laner W33 has played most recently.
"Fire girl, poisonous dragon, necromancy, bat, bone magic, each one is more disgusting than the last."
"Unbearable."
Gao Ran also had a headache when he saw W33's hero pool. He even planned to drive Sera to the middle.
