DOTA Madness

The gathering of five Scourge heroes brought considerable pressure on the Sentinels.

With an initiator like Earthshaker, a ganker like Bloodseeker, and a hero like Rhasta who integrated control and promotion, hence,  the Scourge’s momentum was not small. As for Goblin Techies, although he was less effective in frontal battles, he had a very dangerous self-destruct ability. Coupled with Bounty Hunter, who was most likely already arrived, the three Sentinel heroes might not be able to cope with the advance of the Scourge!

Fortunately, they were protected by the tower, Krobelus and Alleria each had a good AoE skill, it was not easy for the Sentinel to push, unless they wanted to fight under the tower of Sentinel!

However, Zhao Dingguo obviously underestimated the determination of the Scourge!

Because he acted the majority of the time being a solo, Rhasta was already level 6. His ultimate Mass Serpent Ward summoned a group of immobile serpentine wards with splash damage, and it was very suitable to push the tower. Using this as a foothold, the Scourge launched an assault!

Their offense was quite strong.

After Rhasta’s Mass Serpent Ward was inserted, Bloodseeker followed, using Boodrage to silence Krobelus, and then cast Rupture on her. Earthshaker smashed Fissure from far away and stunned the Centaur who tried to rush over. Rhasta also released his Shackles skill, firmly binding Alleria!

Three CC skills, and all the heroes of the Sentinel side got controlled.

Spotting the good timing, Bounty Hunter came out of the darkness and joined the battle.

The first to be focused was Krobelus!

Everyone knew how terrible it was to let Krobelus released her ultimate. And once the Silence effect was over, her Carrion Swarm, which had a short cooldown time, would continue to be released. By then, the heroes of the Scourge would suffer!

Therefore, both Bloodseeker and Bounty Hunter went straight to her!

After being hit by Bloodseeker’s ultimate, Krobelus did not dare to run around, and could only stand obediently under the tower. This undoubtedly gave the Scourge heroes a chance. Under the attack of the two, Krobelus’s HP quickly hit the bottom.

At the critical moment, N’aix who had been in the jungle area joined the battlefield in time!

As early as when Zhao Dingguo reported Bounty Hunter missing, he realized that the bot lane was dangerous, so he started to rush down early. Although it was a bit late, he happened to be able to catch up with the battle. Facing Gangduo who wanted to output, N’aix directly gave him Open Wounds, and then started to attack!

Rage was a magical skill that allowed N’aix to become immune to magic spells for a short period of time; At the same time, the attack speed would be greatly increased, which was equivalent to a shortened version of the BKB plus Mask of Madness!

In just a few seconds, the HP of Bounty Hunter dropped by more than half.

At that time, the Centaur chief also recovered from the Stun state and quickly returned to defense. Although he was ultimately unable to save Krobelus, his stun skill provided N’aix with a good environment for the second round of output. Although Bounty Hunter was frightened to escape, it was under the defense tower. Even if Bounty Hunter’s Wind Walk had cooled down, at this moment there was no difference from useless furnishings, and N’aix finally slapped him to death!

He was really unlucky, the damage output of N’aix in Rage state was already terrifying. Bounty Hunter himself was also under the tower, thus he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to!

The death of Bounty Hunter kicked off the counterattack!

Alleria, who had broken free from Shackles, started her pace and released a powerful Powershot. This was both a counterattack against Rhasta and the new wave of ghoul soldiers. Although N’aix’s Rage has ended, the ordinary attack was still sharp!

“Kill Rhasta!”

Noticing that Rhasta’s position was too far forward, N’aix commanded aloud in the voice channel. He didn’t want the hero to release the second round of skills.

At the same time, the Scourge’s heroes did not want to be outdone, and unified their goals in their own voice channel: “N’aix was hit by the wards and his HP is low, focus on him!”.

Both sides had their own tactical intentions!

However, after all, the Sentinels fought under their own towers- the timing of Rhasta’s ultimate was also a bit wrong, and it immediately attracted the firepower of the defense tower. From the beginning of the war to now, most of the wards have been cleared by the tower, and the output has decreased sharply. Without the help of the wards, the Scourge was equivalent to losing a reliable fixed output turret!

As for N’aix whom they planned to kill, when his HP was about to drop to zero, he activated his ultimate-‘Infest!’

This was a skill that combined damage, recovery, and concealment.

Infest allowed N’aix to penetrate into the target’s body and remain hidden in it. If the target was an allied unit, nothing will change when he came out. However, if it was an enemy unit (cannot target a hero), not only would it kill the target instantly, but it would also restore a large amount of health, and cause AoE damage to the surrounding units!

In the early period, even with a Strength hero, how much HP could he have?

N’aix went in and out, and the original near-exhaust HP instantly restored by half, making the Scourge’s plan of focusing on him failed.

In turn, the Sentinels worked well to kill Rhasta. With a Double Edge from Centaur, Rhasta became the third hero to die on the battlefield!

The battle continued!

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, Bloodseeker stepped back a few steps and retreated from the attack range of the tower.

Alleria and N’aix probably wanted to expand their advantages, so they pursued. As for the Centaur, he had suffered a lot of damage before and had released a Double Edge, so his HP became low. Out of caution, he hesitated and didn’t keep up, and that saved his life!

Because the Goblin Techies was there!

Goblin Techies who had been wandering nearby has not actually left, he was waiting for the best opportunity to cut in. Seeing Bloodseeker and Earthshaker retreating from the battlefield and the Sentinel side chasing after them, he said nothing and rushed straight up.

At that moment, the ex-international friend ‘Bin Laden’ in the real world appeared!

Goblin Techies became a human bomb, with a fearless mind, began to self-destruct, and rushed to the place with most people!

N’aix and Alleria who had low HP were killed by his self-explosion, and contributed to Goblin Techies a Double Kill!

The battle came to an abrupt halt there, ending with three deaths on each side!

The surviving Bloodseeker and Earthshaker in the Scourge side were not in good condition, so they did not rush forward. The Centaur Warchief of the Sentinel side was also worried that Bloodseeker would chase him and hence, he flew back to the base with TP!

Considering that the late heroes – Bounty Hunter and N’aix – were dead on both sides, this battle should have been a draw. However,  the Goblin Techies of the Scourge side committed suicide. Before his death, he also completed a double kill. In that case, the Scourge had gained the upper hand!

However, the heroes of both sides ignored Zhao Dingguo!

In the fighting just now, the Sentinel was actually 4-vs-5. The reason why the Scourge had not won was because of the geographical location- they fought under the Sentinel’s side tower. And the second reason being that Earthshaker hadn’t had his ultimate yet. He was in a two people lane, and was killed by Zhao Dingguo once, therefore he remained  Level 5. That meant what Zhao Dingguo did would be counted in this team battle!

Taking advantage of his unmanned neutral position, he used Rot to quickly push the line, and then pushed forward with the help of the treants. By the end of the battle in the bot lane, when the Scourge hero was resurrected and ready to take over the road, Zhao Dingguo had successfully destroyed the tower. It was a pity that the last one was taken by a stone thrower, but that also gave Zhao Dingguo two hundred gold!

At that moment, Zhao Dingguo’s deposit directly rose to more than a thousand.

Having the money to buy Gem of True Sight, with the addition of his condition being extremely bad at that moment, he decided to return to the fountain!

“Butcher, why didn’t you come over to fight?”

Krobelus, who was the first to be killed, was very dissatisfied with Zhao Dingguo making money on the top lane alone, so she spoke with a tint of blame in her voice.

In her opinion, if Zhao Dingguo also joined, maybe the situation would have been different! In fact, not only Krobelus had this idea. However, due to Zhao Dingguo killing three people before, and also with the fact of his performance being not bad his other teammates were embarrassed to speak at once.

Zhao Dingguo had already expected this accusation.

He said unhurriedly: “At that time, I used TP to gank on top lane and had no mana left. Even if I rushed back, it wouldn’t help. I might as well push the tower on the top lane!”

This reason made sense, and Krobelus couldn’t blame him anymore.

Zhao Dingguo immediately shifted the topic and immediately told them: “I just gained some money on the road and I came to buy Gem of True Sight. Alleria, Krobelus, you two come with me. Let’s go defuse the mines!”

The threat of Goblin Techies had been covering the entire audience, but during the first and middle stages, everyone was reluctant to spend 700 gold coins. Now Zhao Dingguo’s selfless move had naturally been praised by them: “Okay, I will go with brother Butcher!”

“The butcher was rippling. Goblin Techies on the other side was crying!”

“Butcher bro, remember to take a look at our jungle area, making sure there is no mine in any corner, otherwise I would be frightened to go jungling!”

In an instant, no one mentioned that Zhao Dingguo did not participate in the team battle in time …

Zhao Dingguo’s topic shifting was a great success!

" "

Half a minute later, he began to clear mines with Alleria.

Krobelus also wanted to go, but she saw that the line on the middle lane was fine, and her ultimate had cooled down, so she was ready to push. And any kind of range hero for demining was enough. One more was unnecessary!

Under the gem’s dazzling light, no invisible unit could have escaped their sight!

The first place to be searched by Zhao Dingguo was naturally the river course having mines buried by the Goblin Techies. After bombing Zhao Dingguo, he found another opportunity to bury four mines there. As Goblin Techies’ level rose, the damage from mines also rose. Even if Zhao Dingguo’s HP had increased, if he stepped on it at that time, he would be killed in the same way!
