Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 685 TI International Invitational Tournament
LGD, IG, Ehome, M5, Navi.

The five teams gathered on the stage, and there was an endless stream of cheers, which shook the sky.

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

Even in the center of the stands, there was a group of fans wearing the same LGD support uniforms. They clattered in the stands and raised the poster fragments in their hands to form a giant LGD team member going to tifo. It was simply shocking.

Countless people at the scene were attracted and completely shocked.

The tifo is so huge that it occupies at least hundreds of seats. It took more than half a month to make it because fans contacted each other and met offline. It expressed the sincere wishes of each of them to the home team.

Even the commentators and director shots were attracted by this scene.

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

"This is the unparalleled on-field culture in competitive sports, and it is the warmest and strongest encouragement for any team!"

"come on!"

"LGD must win!"

"Navi will win!"

Earth-shaking cheers filled the scene, one wave after another, and the background sounds in the stadium were suppressed.

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

Countless domestic swordsmen are looking forward to it and sincerely wish LGD can win!

And on site.

Five teams and twenty-five people stood on the stage, receiving the attention of all the fans.

Among them, fifteen Chinese faces fascinated countless CNDOTA players watching the game.

A total of eighteen teams participated in the first TI, but in the end, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia were all eliminated, and no one was left.

Among the remaining five teams, one is from the CIS, one is from Western Europe, and CNDOTA has three seats!

Who doesn't like it?
So cool!
The Chinese Division shines!

CNDOTA, unparalleled in the world!
Knife lovers around the world are amazed!
Countless people are sighing at China's strong e-sports strength.

You must know that DOTA is launched globally at the same time. There is no obvious difference in order. The development time of each division is the same. However, the Chinese division accounts for three out of five. It has to be lamented that it is the earliest super division in e-sports. .

At this time, the Central Stadium has already become a sea of ​​Chinese knife fans. Spectators from all over the country have bought at least more than 80% of the seats at the venue, and the rest are supporters of other teams.

And today, the finals of the winner's bracket are about to begin.

LGD vs. Navi.

Whoever wins will be the winner of the upper bracket and lock in the top two.

The losing team will fall into the loser bracket and compete with the other three teams for two more rounds until the final loser bracket champion is selected.

in the office.

Mo Yu chose the most comfortable sitting position.

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

"Tifo is all here, it's a big scene."

In this TI International Invitational Tournament, the tifo made by LGD fans is not a complete poster at all, but is composed of many poster fragments put together, and even made with flowers, and it slowly rises from bottom to top.

Obviously it has been rehearsed in advance, and fans need to buy tickets together. There is someone behind the organization to do it, otherwise there will be no effect at all.

Such a scene would be stunning even in the top arena, let alone in an e-sports competition.

He also had to 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 generation, and the nationality of the players is very rare, which can be called a rarity.

Moreover, since this team entered TI, their performance on the field has been unparalleled, leading by a large margin, without a single defeat, and they are the favorites to win this time.

LGD is not bad either.

The players in the team performed as steadily as ever, and they did not fall behind against the top teams in the six major regions.

The winner's bracket final between these two teams has long been called by fans on the Internet as a final in advance. Whoever can win will have the hope of winning the final championship and grabbing a championship bonus of more than 500 million US dollars!
That's right.

That's more than five million US dollars.

The first TI International Invitational tournament booklet has been officially launched in July this year. So far, the global sales have reached a total of US$7 million, 25% of which will be used as the prize pool of this TI.

And 36% of the prize pool is reserved for the championship team that finally wins the Immortal Shield!
So far, this bonus has exceeded 500 million US dollars!
For any professional player, this is an astronomical figure. They must fight for it with all their strength, and no one is willing to give up.

Championship, honor, prize money.
"I wonder who will be the champion in the end?"

"I hope it's a domestic team!"

In the center stadium.

The game has already started.

The winner's bracket finals adopt a BO5 format. The two sides draw lots to select sides at the beginning, and change sides after a round.

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

即每局比赛开始之前双方总共要搬掉14个英雄，采用三轮制，分别是3-2-2禁用(先选)、4-1-2禁用(后选)、1-3-1挑选(双方)。

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

But in the second round.

The party who chooses first can remove one more than the party who chooses later.

This BP mode is relatively more complex, and it also tests the understanding of the game by the coaching teams of both sides. In the three rounds of the game, try to get the most suitable, most accustomed, most adaptable, and best lineup for your side, and at the same time It will be a big test for the players’ hero pool.

There are only more than 12345 heroes in total, of them have been banned directly, and the remaining heroes are divided into and five positions.

Even if some heroes in position 1 can be transferred to other positions, position 5 may not necessarily be unable to transfer from 5 to , but it is still a huge problem for players.

If the hero pool is not deep enough and the restraint relationship cannot be played clearly, then it is really impossible to win.

This is also a difference between DOTA and GAG.

GAG values ​​attributes, DOTA values ​​skills.

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

If the physical attack is high, it will avoid objects; if the magic attack is high, it will avoid magic; if the dodge is high, it will hit; if the blood recovery is high, it will reduce blood; if the damage is high, it will be void; if there is no vision, it will be invisible; to save your life, push, shimmer, and blow. If you don't have a first mover, use Athos and the Sheep's Knife.
It can be said that every attribute has a way to restrain it, and no matter how powerful a skill is, it cannot be invincible.

The charm of DOTA stems 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 won’t be able to understand even the game.
