Chapter 685 TI International Invitational

LGD, IG, Ehome, M5, Navi.

Five teams gathered on the stage, and the cheers were endless.

Tens of thousands of spectators in the stands waved their support items, and everyone was cheering for the home team!

Even in the center of the stands, a group of fans wearing the same LGD support uniforms raised the poster fragments in their hands and pulled them into a huge LGD players' expedition tifo, which was simply shocking.

Countless people at the scene were attracted and completely shocked.

The tifo was so huge that it occupied at least hundreds of seats. It was made by fans who contacted each other and met offline for more than half a month. It was entrusted with the sincere wishes of each of them for the home team.

Even the commentators and directors were attracted by this scene.

Tifo, which has only appeared in football and basketball stadiums, has appeared in e-sports stadiums for the first time!

"This is the unparalleled arena culture in competitive sports, and it is the warmest and most heartfelt encouragement for any team!"

"Come on!"

"LGD must win!"

"Navi must win!"

The thunderous cheers filled the scene, one wave higher than the other, and the background noise in the field was suppressed.

Hundreds of thousands of viewers have already poured into the live broadcast room of the event, and everyone is looking forward to the result of today's game.

Countless domestic knife friends are looking forward to it, and sincerely wish LGD to win!

And at the scene.

Five teams, 25 people stood on the stage, accepting the attention of all fans.

Among them, 15 Chinese faces made countless CNDOTA players who were watching the game very excited.

There were 18 teams participating in the first TI, but in the end, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia were all eliminated, and there was no one left.

Among the remaining five teams, one CIS, one Western Europe, and CNDOTA occupied three seats!

Who is unhappy?

It's awesome!

The Chinese division shines!

CNDOTA, unparalleled in the world!

Global DOTA fans are amazed!

Countless people are sighing at China's strong e-sports strength.

You should know that DOTA is launched all over the world at the same time, and there is no obvious difference in the order. The development time of each division is the same, but China's division accounts for three of the five divisions, which makes people sigh that it is worthy of being the earliest super division in e-sports.

At this time, the central stadium has long become a sea of ​​Chinese DOTA fans. Audiences from all over the country have bought at least more than 80% of the seats on the scene, and the rest are supporters of other teams.

And today, the final of the winner's group is about to start.

LGD vs. Navi.

Whoever wins will be the winner's group champion, locking in the top two.

The losing team will fall into the loser's group and fight with the other three teams for two more rounds until the final loser's group champion is selected.

In the office.

Mo Yu chose the most comfortable sitting position.

"I didn't expect DOTA to evolve faster than GAG."

"They've even got the tifo, what a grand scene."

The tifo made by LGD fans at this TI International Invitational was not a complete poster at all, but was made by combining many poster fragments together, and even made some fancy moves, rising slowly from the bottom to the top.

It was obviously rehearsed in advance, and fans had to buy tickets together, and there was someone behind the scenes to organize it, otherwise it would not work at all.

Such a scene would be amazing even in the top arena, not to mention in e-sports competitions.

He couldn't help but admire it.

"I don't know if LGD can win?"

"Navi is not simple."

Mo Yu thought of some information he had just found.

All members of the Navi team were born in the second place, and the nationality of the players is very rare, which can be called rare.

Moreover, since entering TI, this team has been far ahead in the field, leading by a large margin, and has never lost a game. It is the favorite to win this championship.

LGD is also not bad.

The players in the team performed as steadily as before, and they were not inferior to the top teams in the six major regions.

The winner's group final between the two teams has long been called the final in advance by fans online. Whoever wins will have the hope of winning the final championship and winning more than 5 million US dollars in championship prize money!

That's right.

That's more than 5 million US dollars.

The first TI International Invitational small booklet was officially launched in July this year. So far, the total sales amount worldwide has reached 70 million US dollars, of which 25% will be used as the prize pool for this TI.

And 36% of the prize pool will be taken by the champion team that finally won the Immortal Shield!

So far, this prize has exceeded 5 million US dollars!

For any professional player, it is an astronomical figure. You must fight for it with all your strength. No one is willing to give up.

Championship, honor, prize money.

"I don't know who will be the champion in the end?"

"I hope it will be a domestic team!"

In the central stadium.

The game has already started.

The winner's bracket final adopts a BO5 format. At the beginning, both sides choose sides by drawing lots, and they switch sides after one round.

Since the number of heroes in DOTA has exceeded 80, the update speed is relatively fast, and many of the hero cooperation and tactical play are also developed very quickly, so today's TI International Invitational has changed to a new BP system.

That is, before each game starts, both sides have to remove a total of 14 heroes, using a three-round system, namely 3-2-2 ban (first pick), 4-1-2 ban (second pick), and 1-3-1 pick (both sides).

The side that chooses first has a disadvantage in moving people, because in the first round, only three heroes can be removed; while the side that chooses later can remove four heroes.

But in the second round.

The side that chooses first can remove one more hero than the side that chooses later.

This BP mode is relatively more complicated and tests the understanding of the game by the coaching teams of both sides. In the three-round game, try to get the most suitable, most accustomed, most adaptable, and best lineup for your side, and it also tests the hero pool of the players.

There are only more than 80 in total, and 14 are directly banned. The remaining heroes are divided into five positions, 12345.

Even if some No. 1 heroes can be transferred to other positions, it is not necessarily impossible for No. 5 to be transferred to one, but it is still a huge problem for the players.

If the hero pool is not deep enough and the restraint relationship is not clear, then you really can't win.

This is also a difference between DOTA and GAG.

GAG focuses on attributes, while DOTA focuses on skills.

Sometimes, even if your attributes are ridiculously high, you will be restrained by the opponent's specific heroes and specific equipment.

If the physical attack is high, then physical immunity; if the magic attack is high, then magic immunity; if the dodge is high, then sure hit; if the blood recovery is high, then reduce the blood recovery; if the damage is high, then nothingness; if there is no vision, then stealth; to save life, then push, glimmer, and blow three-piece set; if you lack the initiative, then take Atos and sheep knife

It can be said that each attribute has a restraint method, and no matter how strong the skills are, they cannot be invincible.

The charm of DOTA comes from the complex restraint relationship in the game and the variety of skills and equipment.

And this is one of the reasons why it is difficult for new players to get started.

Without hundreds of games of practice, you can't understand how to play.
