From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

After killing Mars, Windranger, with the Agility and Swiftness buff given by Invoker, started attacking the Radiant's bottom lane second tower. While she was attacking, Jiang Xia's Rubick circled behind the tower and used the stolen Avalanche to hold back the three Radiant players who were still alive!

"Still seeing, still seeing, hurry up and leave, if these three don't leave, Rubick will keep them all."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Rubick was also in trouble. He was hit by Tiny's Avalanche and Lich's Frost Blast, and his health was almost gone. However, his teammates rushed in, and in the end, Windranger killed Rangor and got a triple kill. Rubick also died, and Tiny and Lich fled in a sorry state.

Brother Jia opened the win rate panel. At this moment, the Dire team was leading by 1,000 gold, and Teacher Da gave it a win rate of 67%.

"Indeed, the Dire has the advantage now. All three core items are complete. In this version, Invoker is very strong in the late game. When Windranger is in team fights, he can focus on Tiny and shoot the enemy's carry Tiny, so there is no room for Tiny to perform. It feels like the enemy will have a hard time dragging the game out until Ember Spirit has completed his late-game items."

The situation unfolded exactly as predicted by Jia Ge and Da Laoshi. Windranger, with his shield and fog of war, swept the map and caught Xiao Xiao again. His economy reached 20,000, and he was equipped with Maelstrom, Serpent's Breath, Power Treads, Magic Wand, and still had over 2,000 in savings. His next item was a pre-order of Satanic, making him incredibly well-equipped.

At the 31-minute mark, the Radiant team, not wanting to sit idly by, had their mentor directly instruct their two supports to use Smoke of Deceit and enter the Dire's triangle area along the mid lane. However, they were blocked by Smoke of Deceit when they reached the small grove near the enemy's mid lane tower.

Sora's tree was stealthily farming minion experience when suddenly three burly men appeared in front of her. Then, a Dust of Appearance was cast on her, and each of them used a skill to kill her on the spot.

Gu Ran's Karl happened to be jungling near the second tower. Upon seeing this, he immediately started with Windfury, followed by Magnetic Storm and Chaos Meteor. At this moment, he was already level 20 and had selected the right talent. Three huge meteors fell from the sky, forcing Ember Spirit to activate his Black King Bar. However, unexpectedly, Windranger suddenly appeared from the side, activated her ultimate and Black King Bar, and locked onto Ember Spirit.

Seeing this, the two supports knew that Ember Spirit was doomed and had no choice but to retreat. However, Rubick, who came from the top lane, used Blink Dagger and Blood Arena to stop them—this was because Jiang Xia had just stolen Mars' ultimate!

"Holy crap, this arena is invincible! Both of my support characters got left standing."

Amidst the commentators' gasps of amazement, three members of the Radiant team fell one after another, widening the economic gap between the two sides to five thousand, and Gu Ran's Invoker secured a double kill.

[Double kill!]

With three enemy players killed, the Dire team attempted to push the high ground turrets, forcing them to retreat before heading to the 30-minute mark to destroy the Pain Cube. After that, the economic gap between the two sides widened to 7,000.

After defeating the Dire team, they didn't stop. Under Jiang Xia's command, they activated the Smoke of Deception and used a portal from the bottom right corner of the map to the top left corner. Jiang Xia drew a route on the map, pointing directly to their own main jungle area.

"Shikamaru's image interpretation is very accurate."

From his God's-eye view, Brother Diao could see that the five Radiant players were in the Dire's main jungle. They had just sensed Invoker's ghostly walk in the main jungle and gathered five of them to try and catch Invoker, but Gu Ran's Invoker was very cautious and didn't go deep into the main jungle.

At this moment, Mars, the offlaner of the Radiant, relaxed his vigilance upon seeing this, completely unaware that the opponent might have already activated Smoke of Deceit after clearing the Crystal. He knocked out the Dire's Observer in the main jungle and then walked to the side to prepare to jungle.

Then Rubick immediately launched a jump attack, followed by Windranger's Binding Strike for control, and then locked onto Gu Ran's head with his ultimate. Gu Ran immediately pressed Devastate and started dealing damage.

Just as Mars was about to perish under the heavenly fire, a frog's tongue darted out from the side, and Lango used his Alluring Lick to pull Mars back from the brink of death. The Fiery Hand also began unleashing a barrage of attacks, trying to deter the Dire forces, but Mars was now severely weakened, and the Dire forces were not about to let this opportunity slip by!

"Want to save Mars? Then you can stay here!"

Gu Ran used a gust of wind to trap the two Radiant heroes, then unleashed a magnetic storm at their feet. Upon landing, he immediately used a Spirit Binding Lock to immobilize them, followed by a Chaos Meteor and a Supersonic Wave—the two Radiant heroes were entangled and unable to move, then pushed along by the shockwave, constantly taking the rolling damage from the meteor, until they both died instantly.

Firefly is on a killing spree!

[Delicious maggots have already committed monstrous slaughter!]

In this team fight, Sora's Treant Protector was killed while chasing, but only Mars survived on the Radiant side, and the economic difference between the two sides reached 11,000.

Just then, Roshan spawned, and the Dire team seized the opportunity to take control of the second Roshan.

Two minutes later, Jiang Xia directed the Dire team to push the Radiant bottom lane high ground with the Aegis. Windranger stood outside the tower and attacked it a few times before cautiously retreating, not giving the opponent a chance to initiate. If Tiny threw her onto the high ground, even with the Aegis, they might not be able to win.

Jiangxia's Rubick planted the Roshan Banner he had just acquired in a rear position, granting all minions and catapults within its range invincibility. The opponent had to destroy the banner to kill these minions.

As the two Dire catapults slowly whittled down the health of the bottom lane high ground tower, Ember Spirit had no choice but to step forward and use his third skill, Thunderclap, to attack the banner. However, he was immediately hit by Jiang Xia's Rubick with a Blink Dagger and an Avalanche. Fortunately, Ember Spirit reacted quickly and turned around to use a biscuit to dodge the Avalanche's area of ​​effect, but the banner still had one bar of health left.

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to initiate, but at this moment she could only use Shadow Blade to try to take down the battle flag. However, it was unrealistic to expect the enemy team to not have true wards during team fights. Xiao Xiao was caught in stealth and was lifted up by Rubick with a teleportation attack. Gu Ran's Invoker followed up with Eul's Scepter and then Chaos Meteor.

Just as Xiao Xiao was about to be given a meteorite bath, Lango's tongue licked him back to safety.

While a skill exchange occurred on the high ground, Mars seized an opportunity—

"Mars used Black King Bar and Blink Dagger to jump onto Windranger! But Windranger has a shield, it seems like Cai Ge's initiation was on the wrong person."

Actually, Lao Cai wanted to use Spear on Invoker, but after Invoker was trapped, he started to move flexibly, and he also had Black King Bar in hand. Windranger was close to Mars, so Spear on Invoker might get outplayed, so he had no choice but to use Spear on Windranger.

A team fight was about to break out. Brewmaster activated his ultimate and charged onto the high ground. Gu Ran quickly switched to Ice Wall to slow down Mars, but Mars had already activated Black King Bar.

Ember Spirit began unleashing a barrage of attacks, and Gu Ran also unleashed Devastation. In an instant, flames and frost flew wildly across the battlefield. Except for Windranger, all the core players activated their Black King Bars. Windranger was the first to fall, and her shield dropped into a glowing circle. She would stand up fully healed after five seconds.

The Dire side's two support heroes were positioned very cautiously. In front of the Radiant side, there was only a Brewmaster with his ultimate activated and an Invoker with his Black King Bar activated. They had no choice but to retreat. Just as they were retreating, Rubick jumped out of the shadows and used a Blood Arena to trap Tiny and Mars.

The tree entered the arena and used its ultimate to entangle the two. Windranger got up and killed the low-health Mars with two arrows. All the Dire characters in the arena were flashed with the glow of the healing effect - this was the effect of Mars' ultimate with Aghanim's Scepter that Rubick stole after getting Aghanim's Scepter: Celebration after killing, all friendly units in the arena are restored to health and mana!

Radiant could only flee. After the Lich was chased to death by Brewmaster, he immediately used his buyback. Under Jiang Xia's command, Dire did not pursue too far. They returned and steadily destroyed the bottom lane high ground, and then collectively moved to the middle lane to prepare to destroy another lane.
