The match between EG and Nigma in the second half of the fourth round of the loser group starts before Dream!
The two teams fought hard for 3 sets before EG narrowly defeated Nigma with a score of 2-1 and successfully advanced to the fifth round of the loser's bracket!
They will face LGD after the upper bracket finals.
Determine a place in the lower bracket finals!
There are 18 Ti participating teams, and now only 4 are left.
Winner Bracket OG, Dream.
Loser group LGD, EG.
Except for the Dream team, several other teams were expected by everyone.
After all, EG is in very good shape this year, and LGD is also a traditional powerhouse.
At this stage of the game, both sides have basically used all their routines except for the special moves to press the bottom of the box.
For teams at this level, apart from seeing a team's ultimate move, they have basically done it.
The rest is a decisive battle with real swords and guns.
Winner Bracket Finals!
"Dream!"
"OG!!!"
…
In the atmosphere of explosion at the scene, Dream and OG teams also appeared one after another!
"Come on."
"come on."
Several Dream players fist-bumped each other in the tunnel, took a deep breath and entered the arena.
In the Ti competition, the gap between directly entering the finals and entering the finals through the lower bracket finals is still very large.
The difference is that on the last day of the game, the players' energy is limited.
On the last day, there will be a Bo3 game in the lower bracket and then a Bo5 game in the finals.
The team that enters the finals first can get more ample rest time, and no team can easily win the decisive battle in the lower bracket finals, and perhaps the most powerful ultimate lineup will be used.
"Okay! Hello dear audience friends, welcome to the winner's bracket finals of the Dota2Ti11 International Invitational Tournament!"
"The two sides are Dream vs. OG!"
"The BP for the first game between the two sides has already started."
"Both teams have very deep hero pools!"
“Dream’s first game is first-ban, first-choice.”
Amid the commentary from Tiao Dao, Er Bing and two professional commentators, the first game of the winner's group finals officially started!
"Ban Jerex's signature little one."
"This hero Dream thinks he is a very troublesome hero."
…
In the competition room, Dream already had a good idea, and BP had already discussed it during the previous pre-game research.
Those who were banned were the ones, Elf, Tiny, Woodcutter, and Underlord.
These OG heroes are very good at playing, and they fit well with the OG team’s 4-guaranteed-1 system.
The OG team's BP has obviously been studied, but they do not ban high-burning 4-hand heroes like the Chinese team's BP.
First, I banned Serra’s Werewolf, and the druid I had played in Dream before, Dazzle.
For a normal team, they will not give all their ban positions to the opponent's mid laner, unless they are particularly afraid of the opponent's personal ability.
The commentators also made speculations about what hero Dream would choose.
But Dream clicked on the light method without hesitation!
"Dream's got some light magic!"
"This OG side may need to lose a Fire Cat, and the Fire Cat hero Topson and Ana can play."
"If Dream were given a system with fire cat lighting, it might be difficult for OG to handle."
Just like the Elf Plane, the Light Method Fire Cat is also a system.
"And I feel like Dream will have a Steelback in his second hand."
"The combination of light spells just quilted is also very powerful."
"Yes."
It is exactly the same as the BP card reading of the jumping knife!
Dream's first two hands, Light Magic and Magic were defeated! And OG chose Fire Cat and Lich!
In this way, the fire shield in the early and mid-term combined with the ice shield will have a very strong combat effectiveness.
Dream's selection is completely different from other teams. After confirming his own ideas, he didn't waste any time and directly selected a hand of Rubick!
Zhao Hao's Rubick is also an outstanding hero.
"I guess they're going to take the Legion."
"When they take the legion, let's pat him with a pat."
Gao Ran also discussed with his teammates.
They studied OG's BP for a whole day.
Finally, I designed such a set of BP ideas.
In order to deal with this newly defeated beast, OG decisively selected the legion commander and matched it with a disgusting Xiaoqiang at position 4!
OG has also studied Dream's BP and found that many of Fire's hero pools are afraid of the hero Xiaoqiang.
"what are you playing?"
"I want to play with the blue cat."
Gao Ran said these five words again.
In such a competition, he still believes in his storm spirit!
"The other side is a bit weak against you."
"Choose, the blue cat is okay."
The opponent's Fire Cat plus Xiaoqiang and Legion can exert some restraint on Blue Cat.
However, since the opponent basically released Gao Ran's mid laner, Gao Ran decisively picked Storm Spirit!
When this hero is selected.
Countless people, including the China commentator, shouted out!
"Storm Spirit! Fire's most unbeatable hero!"
Er Bing and Tiao Dao Tiao Dao both shouted.
Although this blue cat is not that easy to perform, it is very suitable for Dream's lineup system.
There is a light method that adds blue to the blue cat, and the output of teammates 1 and 3 is very high.
The OG team has been thinking about the last move for a long time!
I feel that Dream's lineup is a very aggressive lineup in the early and mid-term, including online.
The troll warrior was decisively pointed out!
"Troll!"
"Look if it's Ana's troll or Topson's troll!"
Choose from both sides, Ana’s troll! Topson’s fire cat!
"Topson plays with fire, the cat. Topson has chosen this hero a lot recently."
"Yes, but he often produces big ashes. I don't know if he will come out again in this game."
"It can only defeat the Steelback with one hand."
…
With the opponent’s chosen lineup, the Dream team is full of confidence!
The opponent chose Troll for Ana in order to play in the lane, and this hero was also within Dream's ability to handle.
"OG here wants to get first blood!"
"Troll plus little plus lich!"
"Slow down the lich until it's almost dead."
"Dream noticed it! Beautiful!"
Er Bing also breathed a sigh of relief. If Dream was taken first blood before it went online, it might be difficult to play online.
"But OG grabbed 3 bounty symbols."
"It has a certain advantage in the early stage."
After the game starts, the duel in the middle is also a highlight!
At this TI, most of the teams' mid laners were almost completely punished by Gao Ran, and Nisha and W33 were almost completely defeated in the knockout round.
Topson is known as the number one mid laner in the world.
Whether he can stop Gao Ran's progress has also become a major attraction.
Topson's laning ability is not particularly strong, at least after Sumail and Maybe, but his sense of rhythm and his understanding of the game are definitely the strongest player except for high-burn.
"I think Topson can't beat Fire. Even Nisha can't beat Fire. Topson's laning should be about the same as Nisha's."
"Well, it's hard to say."
"This Fire set has a blue cat. The blue cat and the fire cat are almost 50-50. The blue cat has a slight advantage."
Er Bing analyzed that they have all seen the hot blue cat!
