League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 484 Rampage!

QG's brutal offensive continued for the remainder of the game.

A fully developed Bloodseeker and a plane are no joke. One runs fast and the other deals high damage. Add to that the little bird's ability to move across the entire map, and the early game pace is unstoppable, almost wave after wave!

Ana was like a small boat in a raging storm, tossed about by the wind and rain, with no room to farm at all!

Fifteen minutes in, Ana was pushing the side lane when suddenly a small minion flashed right in his face, followed by his ultimate, totem, auto-attack, and pallet, delivering three close-range crowd control abilities that rendered him unable to move!

At the same time, a magic circle appeared under his feet, which was Blood Demon's second skill. After a short delay, it would silence the enemy.

Ana poured out her grievances.

How come the Earthshaker already has a Blink Dagger after only a few minutes?

He no longer wanted to operate it.

The first wave of the Minotaur's Blink Dagger will control you for four seconds as soon as he jumps in. This four-second initiation control is enough for QG's teammates to follow up with their skills.

Subsequently, Blood Demon's silence was triggered, and Big Butt was imprisoned again.

Ana didn't even have a chance to use her ultimate ability before she was taken down.

Of course, QG ganked the side with five players in this wave, so even if Ana used her ultimate, she had nowhere to fly and couldn't escape.

Ana felt a pang of despair after being caught and killed for the second time. He looked at his economy and reluctantly gave up on the idea of ​​building up a Radiance.

In the game DOTA2, heroes lose gold when they die.

Each time a hero dies, they will lose 40% of their total assets as "unreliable money".

Unreliable gold refers to the gold you gain through minions and jungle monsters.

In other words, if you keep fighting and your income is all from natural wages and killing, you won't lose much money when you die, because you'll have almost no unreliable money.

Alternatively, if you convert all your gold coins into equipment and don't have much money left, you naturally won't lose much.

This gold-dropping mechanism is designed to punish those toxic carry players who accumulate a lot of gold by farming jungle camps but then hoard it, don't buy items, and don't participate in team fights.

Yes, I'm talking about you! Spectre!

Ana was initially planning to rush a Radiance since the laning phase was going so smoothly.

The situation quickly took a turn for the worse. His development space was severely compressed. He couldn't farm minions in lane, was constantly caught in the jungle, and even died twice, losing a lot of gold in the process.

What's the point of this "glory"? This 3750 can hold for at least twenty minutes!

With no other option, Ana had to prioritize building Manta Style to improve her laning ability.

Of course, this didn't work either.

Even if he builds a Manta Style, he can't recover from this laning disadvantage.

The game is over.

At this point, it's clear from the economic leaderboard that Ana's Spectre's economy has fallen to fifth place overall, even behind Charles's Big Butt.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing's plane was far ahead of the pack, soaring to the top of the leaderboard!

Even Maybe's Blood Demon couldn't catch up!

A plane with a Phantom as its dog and a world-leading economy, I don't even know how it's going to die!

Next came the rather dull and uninteresting progression phase.

Control the shield, push high ground, and wipe out the enemy.

Develop your resources, control the shield, push high ground, and wipe out the enemy.

The time finally reached 37 minutes, at which point QG's economic lead had exceeded 30,000, and countless troops surrounded OG's inhibitor turret!

Meanwhile, on the other side, OG finally couldn't hold on any longer. Spectre activated his ultimate, and Monkey King activated his ultimate, preparing for a desperate fight!

But Chen Dongqing, undeterred by OG's charge, activated Black King Bar (BKB), stood amidst Monkey King's ultimate ability, and unleashed [High-Pressure Cannon] to stand and fight!

You have a lot of Spectre clones, right? I'll fight them all together!

The anti-aircraft guns can allow the aircraft to simultaneously attack all enemies within a 1,000-yard range. Combined with the high attack speed of the Phantom, countless bullets are unleashed in just two seconds!

The Ghost's countless clones had just been summoned when they were wiped out by the plane in a single encounter, creating a truly spectacular visual effect!

Countless people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment!

Seriously? Are you that arrogant? Playing around with Spectre and Monkey King's ultimate abilities?

The Great Sage's ultimate skill is to draw a huge circle in front of him, inside which are countless monkeys and their offspring. Enemies standing in the circle will be constantly attacked by the monkeys and their offspring, and the damage from these attacks is equal to the damage from the Great Sage's normal attacks.

At this moment, the plane, despite being hit by the attacks of three monkey minions, cleared out the Spectre's clones, and its health dropped rapidly!

But Chen Dongqing was still not intimidated. He activated Satan, gaining 200% life steal. After two basic attacks, his health bar was easily full!

Chen Dongqing alone held his own against the two older brothers on the other side, without being at a disadvantage at all!

Taking advantage of the plane drawing all the enemy's firepower, FY jumped in and unleashed his ultimate, dealing explosive damage and crowd control. Maybe's Bloodseeker had his movement speed maxed out and entered a crazy reaping mode, taking down OG's entire team in two hits!

With the game at this point, there was naturally no suspense left. OG couldn't bear to see their base destroyed and immediately typed GG.

One to zero, an easy win in the first game of the winners' bracket final!

After being relentlessly attacked and crushed by the plane throughout the entire game, the OG players looked grim, took off their headphones, and hurriedly ran back to the backstage lounge.

N0tail's face was extremely gloomy, and images from the match kept flashing through his mind.

These images are filled with images of OG's heroes being brutally slaughtered.

But what is most painful is...

When OG loses a match, N0tail can usually find the reason for the defeat and even hold a trial.

As long as they can correct their mistakes, they will only get stronger.

But after OG lost the match, N0tail couldn't find any angle to argue his case.

It's not that they're bad, it's that the opposing team played too well.

To put it bluntly, the two teams were not even on the same level in this game! It was like smurfing a fish!

This left N0tail feeling somewhat desperate.

How did QG become so strong in just one week?

Chen Dongqing was well aware of the answer to this question.

Why else could it be? Because I have a cheat code!

A week ago in the group stage, Chen Dongqing had not yet started the [meditation training], and his cooperation with his teammates was not yet smooth.

Even so, they still beat OG.

Now, Chen Dongqing has undergone countless days and nights of training, and his level of understanding with his teammates is on a completely different level than before. So what makes OG think they can win?

Get ready to be tortured!

The second game was another show by Chen Dongqing.

In this game, OG chose to pick Io themselves, wanting to play their preferred early-game aggressive style.

But Chen Dongqing remained calm and locked onto Ghost with a counterattack.

At this moment, the barrage of comments surged, and countless people were extremely excited.

What does that mean? What does that mean?

So you're going to teach forehand and backhand techniques, right?

Of course, in DOTA2, there's really no such thing as a direct or indirect education, since it's a mirror match and the two carries don't lane against each other.

Ultimately, which side performs better in this game depends on which side has a better early-game strategy.

Or, to put it another way, it depends on whether Ceb and JerAx can suppress Spectre.

Obviously not.

Ceb was so badly beaten in the last game that he was completely out of his mind. Now he's in a state of extreme paranoia, and if the opponent makes even the slightest move, he thinks it's FY coming. He doesn't dare to go up and pressure Spectre anymore.

Even during the laning phase, Spectre was significantly outpaced in last-hitting and denying!

Seeing this, countless European and American viewers were completely bewildered.

No, it can be suppressed by Spectre?

Even so, he still couldn't escape FY's harassment.

In six minutes, FY's Rubick made a brilliant maneuver, pulling Ceb in front of xNova.

xNova's Ice Maiden followed up with a root, and the three of them chased after her with a barrage of Ce and auto-attacks, managing to auto-attack all the way to the tower. Finally, Chen Dongqing used Dark Path from afar to secure the first blood!

The economy is taking off again!

Seeing that he had secured the first blood, Chen Dongqing decisively changed his item build and abandoned his original plan to farm with Radiance.

If you're having such a smooth laning phase, why bother with Glory?

Just do it!

Chen Dongqing decisively chose to build two items: Power Treads and Ring of Aquila, followed by Diffusal Blade, maximizing his early-game combat power.

This is another way to play Spectre, focusing on a mid-game power spike and engaging in small skirmishes with the team.

Without the Radiance buff, this build for Spectre might be a bit weaker in 5v5 team fights, but it's undeniably strong in early-game skirmishes.

Because of Spectre's ultimate ability, QG can guarantee a numerical advantage in every small team fight.

In the ensuing team battle, Chen Dongqing continued to demonstrate his excellent offensive command skills.

At 15 minutes, Chen Dongqing followed his teammates and used Smoke of Deceit to catch the flying Phantom in the jungle.

These two were tough opponents, but fortunately QG had a lot of players. The five of them rushed in and dealt a heavy blow, sending the two back to their fountain.

At 21 minutes, Chen Dongqing was clearing lanes in the jungle when he saw his teammate on the top lane being caught. He decisively activated his ultimate and switched positions to engage, creating chaos on the battlefield with his numerous clones!

Thanks to Spectre's disruption, the rest of QG successfully teleported to the ground, reversing the numerical disadvantage and turning the disadvantage into an advantage, ultimately achieving a hard-fought three-for-three exchange.

Overall, it's a forced break-even situation. Individually, Chen Dongqing didn't die in this round and even got two kills, so it's a win-win situation!

Offstage, the cheers of countless spectators surged, and domestic livestreamers were even more excited, praising it enthusiastically in their livestream rooms!

"Brother Tree was really outrageous today!" YYF couldn't help but praise, "He didn't even bother with Radiance, he just wanted to kill! And he actually managed to get kills!"

Today, Chen Dongqing's Ghost displayed a completely different style from yesterday.

But what they have in common is that Spectre is still fed enough, and QG's advantage is still significant enough!

At 26 minutes, QG caught Ceb pushing the lane in the mid lane, and the team charged in and relentlessly chased him down!

There's not much to say about Ceb's move; he knew he couldn't escape, so he simply chose to die.

But QG's ambitions seem to extend beyond that.

The moment Ceb was brought to low health, Spectre activated his ultimate, descended into the mid lane, and killed the low-health Ceb with a single strike.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dongqing switched places and came to the side of the plane!

With a huge advantage after 26 minutes, Spectre already has two items: Diffusal Blade and Manta Style. He's incredibly powerful, making killing carries as easy as killing minor enemies!

Chen Dongqing switched positions behind the enemy plane, applied a Dispersion to slow it down, and then chased after it with three consecutive attacks, reducing its health to below half!

But in that instant, Chen Dongqing noticed that his ghostly movements suddenly froze, and he was stunned for 0.4 seconds.

Chen Dongqing knew that this came from the enemy mid laner Karl's rapid cooldown.

This skill will intermittently stun enemies briefly.

Chen Dongqing instantly pressed the clone axe, dispelling the skill effects on his body.

In the next instant, Karl used QWE to unleash a [Super Sonic Wave]!

This is a skill that throws forward; enemies hit will be pushed away and disarmed.

If this skill hits, then you won't be able to kill the plane.

Chen Dongqing had a clear strategy. He launched a plane attack, and then, just as the skill was about to hit him, he switched places with the illusion behind Karl, thus dodging the attack.

Chen Dongqing casually attacked Karl with an attack, then switched positions again and returned to the back of the plane!

The plane was still slowed down by the deflection, and the hero had no mobility skills, so there was no room for escape when facing the enemy hero.

Chen Dongqing swiftly delivered two strikes, easily securing the kill with the help of his teammates!

After killing the enemy, Chen Dongqing had only one second left on his ultimate skill. He commanded his teammates to retreat, while he himself turned around and switched back to the bottom lane.

After killing his elder brother, he withdrew from the battlefield thousands of miles away, leaving no trace.

What is this called? This is called a swimming dragon!

While the opposing team was engaged in a team fight in the mid lane, Chen Dongqing pushed the lane and destroyed the opponent's bottom lane tower with two attacks.

What do you call this? You call this a perfect combination of brushing, striking, and pulling!

He can both split push and team fight effectively, making the most of Spectre's ultimate ability.

The gap between the two sides continued to widen.

Chen Dongqing's development is accelerating.

Soon, at 33 minutes, Chen Dongqing completed Butterfly and Spectre with three items, which brought about a qualitative change in his combat power. He pushed forward with Aegis and easily took down two of the opponent's high ground towers.

In fact, they could have surrendered at this point in the game, but OG was already on the brink of defeat. Surrendering would mean losing the series, and they were unwilling to give up, so they continued to persevere.

Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry and continued to develop.

Spectre gets stronger as the game progresses; her power spike is just beginning!

Just enjoy the slow pace of DOTA 2!

At 40 minutes, Chen Dongqing completed his fourth item, the Heart of Tarrasque. This item is even more terrifying, providing 45 Strength, 250 Health, and 1% Health Regeneration per second.

In short, it's a straightforward 1150 health, plus a terrifying 1% health regeneration per second, allowing Spectre to use Refraction to deal damage more recklessly.

With these four pieces, Spectre's combat power has reached its ultimate peak.

At this stage, Spectre has the highest tankiness and the highest damage output in the entire game, and is also quite agile. With the help of Manta Style to remove crowd control effects, it's practically impossible to die.

The game is over.

The question now is, how does QG intend to end this match?

After all, OG had been farming for forty minutes, and their carry's equipment was actually not bad. Their teamfight ability with Gyrocopter and Io was also quite good, and everyone had bought back, which meant they had two lives, so they were still strong enough to defend their base.

Chen Dongqing wasn't in a hurry to rush in. He farmed for a while longer, accumulating enough funds to buy back his own life. Then, he took control of the second Roshan Aegis and launched the final assault with the Aegis!

With the Roshan's Aegis resurrection and buyback, Chen Dongqing has three lives this wave!

In this all-out offensive, Chen Dongqing's goal is to completely crush the enemy!

The mid-lane minion wave pushed directly up to OG's inhibitor turret. With Roshan's Aegis protecting him, Chen Dongqing had nothing to fear and charged straight to the inhibitor turret without any restraint!

This Spectre is like a hedgehog, it reflects light, so if you hit it, you'll get wrecked by the reflection!

If you don't hit him, you'll lose your home!

With no other option, OG had to bite the bullet and engage in team fights, hoping to win this wave with five buybacks.

The five of them rushed forward, applying various debuffs and damaging skills to Spectre.

This is like a massive pile-driving battle.

It has to be said that the damage from five people is still quite formidable. Even with a four-piece Spectre set, the health drops rapidly when taking damage!

But Chen Dongqing didn't fight back; he just endured it.

[Refraction] will teach them how to be good people.

As Spectre's health decreased, the health of all five OG members also visibly dropped significantly!

Moreover, with this big meatball in front, Chen Dongqing's teammates had a perfect output environment, and everyone quickly followed up and carried out a crazy slaughter on OG!

The final result was that Spectre was forced to respawn, but OG's Gyrocopter and Io in the safe lane and Invoker in the mid lane were also focused down and killed, giving up their buybacks.

Chen Dongqing revived with full health and forced the opponent's tower defense to break through.

Countless buyback messages appeared on the screen, and OG's five players were once again in perfect formation, starting the second round of the damage-dealing battle!

This time, Chen Dongqing still didn't fight back, and instead charged straight at OG's face to maximize the benefits of [Reflection]!

This time, OG can't afford to die. They can only fight and retreat, and try to recover their health and manpower first.

At this point, the scene became somewhat abstract. A Spectre with half health kept pushing forward, but OG's five players, though in perfect formation, didn't dare to focus fire directly. Instead, they fought and retreated back into the fountain!

Retreat to the fountain? That's cowardly.

This isn't like you guys at all!

Then I'll increase the intensity for you!

Chen Dongqing smirked and told his teammates to continue destroying the towers, while he charged straight into the enemy's fountain!

The fountain cannons bombarded Spectre relentlessly, drastically reducing its health. Then, through [Refraction], the damage was transferred to the five OG members, dealing terrifying AOE damage!

Chen Dongqing saw that he was reduced to almost no health by the fountain, but he was not afraid at all. He took two more steps forward, and then his health bar was finally emptied by the fountain!

At this point, it can be seen that all five OG players are suffering from the damage of [Reflection], with their health all below half. Since the fountain in DOTA2 regenerates slowly, it will take a long time to fully recover their health.

But at that very moment, a message appeared on the screen!

QG.ilex (Spectre) bought back!

Buyback is a mechanism in DOTA 2 that allows you to spend 200+ total gold/13 to gain an extra life, but instead of respawning on the same spot, you will spawn in the fountain.

This feature is generally used for defending bases, since most heroes, even if they buy back, cannot get to the front lines in time.

But Phantoms can.

The moment the buyback occurred, Spectre activated his ultimate ability, Ghostly Shadows, and five Spectre clones instantly appeared behind the five OG players in the Dire fountain!

Chen Dongqing casually opened the shop, bought a [Disappearing Dust] and immediately descended. The Ghost's true form crossed the diagonal of the map and descended upon the scene once again!

Round 3!

This time, Chen Dongqing wasn't going to play any fancy tricks. The moment he landed, he started wielding his blade, first killing the nearly dead Io with two strikes. Then, he instantly switched positions, appearing behind the mid-lane Invoker!

Topson gritted his teeth and quickly typed the QQW secret code to become invisible, but the next second Spectre used [Dust of Appearance] to expose him!

Chen Dongqing struck twice and easily took down the weakened Karl!

Immediately afterwards, switch positions again and cut down the big brother's plane!

At this moment, OG's fountain was full of Spectre's clones, which meant that the fountain's attacks could not hit Spectre's main body for a while!

Chen Dongqing took advantage of his equipment and directly spawned enemies to reap the rewards!

At this moment, countless people in the audience stared wide-eyed, all expressing their disbelief!

"Ilex, what are you doing?!" The host on site went crazy and started screaming!

At that time in China, there was the Douyu platform.

All the DOTA2 streamers broadcasting the match were also startled by Chen Dongqing.

The reeds, however, reacted even more dramatically.

"**! What is this Spectre trying to do?!" Reed leaped into the air, shouting exaggeratedly, "He's basically fountain-camping!"

I thought it would just be an ordinary endgame progression, but I never expected it to unfold like this!

Why did they suddenly start torturing Izumi? Is Ilex really that crazy?

Of course, if you're a League of Legends viewer, you'll know that when it comes to being arrogant and shameless, Chen Dongqing is always more ruthless than anyone else!

At this point, QG's teammates couldn't stand it anymore, and FY quickly shouted, "Brother Shu, stop it, stop it, you're getting too carried away."

Although that's what he said, FY's barely suppressed smile still revealed his excitement!

There's no way around it, you get excited when you see teammates like that.

Are you treating the other side like a fish and blowing it up?

Wake up! This is the TI upper bracket final!

Chen Dongqing was, of course, very clear-headed.

This fountain-camping behavior wasn't really due to him getting carried away. After all, Chen Dongqing had already planned to sacrifice two lives first, then use his ultimate to enter the fray and deal damage equivalent to three lives once he bought back.

As a result, by the time he had his third life, the enemy had already retreated to the fountain, so when he used his ultimate, he naturally had no choice but to go into the fountain as well.

Can you blame him for this?

Moreover, Chen Dongqing's fountain-camping was strategic. He knew that the enemy's safe laner and mid laner had no buybacks and that they were the most important, so Chen Dongqing specifically targeted these three.

He even anticipated Karl's invisibility, so he specifically bought a powder when he respawned!

Chen Dongqing killed the plane with three slashes, and the three opponents who had not bought back were all killed.

Chen Dongqing didn't go too far. He was convinced that the other side really had no strength to defend their base, and then he finally calmly rushed out of the spring, leaving the other side a way to survive.

But at that moment, several more messages popped up in the chat window.

The black screen of N0tail and the resurrected Ceb still kept the voice wheel running.

N0tail also gave Chen Dongqing a tip.

?

A question mark appeared above Chen Dongqing's head.

After being tortured like this, you're still offering a roulette wheel? Are you really that optimistic?

Chen Dongqing felt as if he had been slighted, so he turned around and rushed back into the spring.

"Don't come near me! I'll kill them all myself!"

Chen Dongqing admitted that he was indeed out of his mind.

At this point, Spectre's ultimate ability to create clones has disappeared, and this time, entering the fountain will mean tanking the tower with her bare body.

Fortunately, the two players in the opposite fountain also had very little health left.

Chen Dongqing didn't even need to do anything; he just endured the fountain's relentless barrage of bullets and used the [Refraction] damage to kill the enemy's fourth position player.

Chen Dongqing used his Manta Style to break free from the control effects, then used Diffusal Blade to slow down the last remaining enemy. He then used two attacks combined with the damage from Reflection to finish off the last remaining Axe King, completely wiping out all five OG members!

Rampage! ! ! !

A blood-red, trembling text appeared on the screen. Chen Dongqing, relying on Spectre's third life, completed an unprecedented pentakill by spawn camping!

At that moment, countless Canadian spectators in the audience jumped for joy, turning the entire venue into a sea of ​​happiness!

The audience below the stage felt they had witnessed history, and everyone was incredibly excited, even starting to slowly chant slogans!

"ilex!"

"ilex!"

"ilex!"

This slogan, which was previously only seen in LOL and StarCraft competitions, represents the love and respect that the audiences of these two games have for Chen Dongqing.

And now, the reach of this slogan continues to expand, including DOTA2 viewers!

There's no way around it, Chen Dongqing's performance this time was just too exaggerated, so exaggerated that countless people still can't believe it!

Fountain camping? Pentakill?

Is this the kind of word that should appear at TI?

Did we misjudge the strength of Spectre in this patch? Is this hero truly the meta pick?

It's easy to predict that after this match, the appearance rate of Spectre on major servers around the world will see a surge.

After being spawn-camped, the OG players did not surrender. Instead, they watched as QG destroyed their base and lost the upper bracket final.

Chen Dongqing excitedly took off his headphones and turned around to see several teammates from the DOTA2 division rushing over at once!

"Brother Shu, what are you doing?!" Maybe was clearly shocked by Chen Dongqing's behavior. "You're really showing no respect to the other side!"

Chen Dongqing said with a smile, "I was originally going to let them off the hook, but they insisted on playing roulette. I just couldn't resist."

Before Chen Dongqing could finish speaking, Charles's obese body rammed into him, nearly knocking Chen Dongqing away.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!" Charles hugged the team's star player and shouted excitedly, "We're in the finals!"

Tea Pig is usually a calm and composed person, and he seems quite cultured from his speech. But now, stimulated by the great victory before him, he couldn't hold back anymore and turned into a laughing pig.

The rest of the QG members were similar; they were all infected by Chen Dongqing's outrageous performance, and they all looked excited and couldn't stop laughing.

At this moment, Chen Dongqing, who had the least experience in DOTA2 competitions, was the calmest. He said with a smile, "Alright, alright, look at you guys, acting like you've won the championship. There's still one more match to play."

That's the downside of the double-elimination format—it's troublesome!

What could have been resolved with three rounds of elimination, they insisted on adding an extra round!

Chen Dongqing led his team toward OG's player bench.

At this moment, the five members of OG didn't look too good.

There's no way anyone could withstand being tortured like this on such a big stage.

Especially since they were being tortured while sending voice messages, they looked even more like clowns.

Chen Dongqing shook hands with Ana, Topson, Ceb, and JerAx in turn, without saying much along the way.

It wasn't until the very end, when shaking hands with N0tail, that Chen Dongqing patted the other person's arm and said, "Enjoy the game."

Enjoy the game.

Upon hearing this, N0tail's temperature soared.

Enjoying the game has always been N0tail's motto. Regardless of whether he wins or loses the game, he will chatter on the voice wheel, which is actually a manifestation of his enjoyment of the game. He has a really good mentality.

But now, when Chen Dongqing says it, it carries a hint of sarcasm.

N0tail's temperature soared, and its face visibly began to turn red.

"We'll definitely win the next final!" N0tail said earnestly. "We just weren't prepared this time."

Chen Dongqing shrugged and said, "Then I wish you all the best in making it to the finals."

Sorry, it's a little late.
