From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

The game continued with a hidden shot. The second character to appear was a water spirit who used attribute transformation to gain 4,000 health.

"Okay, we see this Morphling has 4,000 health, which looks very tanky, indicating that he should be a very reliable Morphling player. I remember there was another Morphling player in the last round, but he didn't get auctioned off. So, what price would you all give this Morphling player? 30 seconds left, start!"

Inside Zeng Jiaoyang's live stream, the streamer looked a bit confused. He opened his Bilibili account and discovered that an AI video he had made before, called "Hard to Pay Salary," had disappeared without him. He scratched his head in puzzlement.

The results are in: sora: 89, Maybe: 120, YYF: 122, zsmj: 125, Xie Bin DD: 128.

"Okay, congratulations to Milk Bro for securing our number one position, Monet. I've noticed something interesting; it seems like Milk Bro has secured Monet almost every season. Milk Bro, could you tell me why? Do you have a particular fondness for our Monet player?"

The camera focuses on Xie Bin (DD).

"Well, I can only say that this was all within my plan. This was the pinnacle of strategic maneuvering, okay?"

A bunch of clown pictures floated by in the live stream, but Brother Nai ignored them. You couldn't tell for a moment whether he was pretending to be Tang or was really Tang.

The third bidder submitted a picture of a cosplayer dressed as the Godfather, with the words "God of Mid Lane" prominently displayed. This player was ultimately sold to Charles for 60.

The auction then moves into the third round, a timed bidding round. This round tests the team captain's composure. Faced with a bidder who initially bids very high, should the captain bid immediately or wait for the price to drop to a lower level before bidding? However, it's important to note that your competitors can bid at any time to snatch the bid away.

The first contestant was Lao Shiyi, with an initial price of 800,000. As the host, Uncle B, shouted "Start!", the music in the room seemed to become tense.

「进入倒计时：5……4……3……2……1，无人出价，我们降价到75万。」

「75万进入倒计时：5……4……3……2……1，无人出价，我们降价到70万。」

"Countdown to 700,000: 5...4...3...Okay! I saw ZHOU raise his paddle, he bought his old teammate Oldeleven for 700,000!"

"Let's interview Zhou Shen. I remember the last time Old Eleven was auctioned for over 600,000. What were your considerations in bidding for him for 700,000 this time?"

The camera focuses on Brother Tai.

"Because... I think Old Eleven is very strong, and if the price drops to 650,000, someone might compete with me for it, and the price might be raised to more than 700,000. So I'll strike first. We've been teammates before, so we have better chemistry than other offlaners."

The subsequent timed bidding was also fiercely competitive. In the end, Maybe won Yang for 80, YYF won Mianmian for 30, ZHOU won ori for 60, Xie Bin DD won boboka for 65, ZSMJ won PYW for 65, and ZSMJ won 7E for 50.

The fourth round is a blind auction round. The rules of this round are basically the same as those of the second round, except that multiple players will appear at the same time, and you need to bid on them at the same time. However, the bid must meet the condition that you have enough money left to form a team normally, otherwise the bid will be invalid.

The first group has four contestants, each with their own video message for everyone to guess their identity.

The video feed for player number one shows the Dire's high ground. At this moment, the Dire team is nearly 20,000 gold behind the enemy team, and the enemy army is pressing in, with a team fight about to break out.

The enemy's Elf and Gyrocopter were positioned below our mid-lane high ground. Our Leshrac (Old Deer, Torn Soul) kept throwing Crystal Tear the Earth towards the high ground tower. Gyrocopter tried to bypass Torn Earth from a corner and stand on the high ground. Just as he stood there, our Monkey King jumped down from a tree and stun him. Gyrocopter quickly used Force Staff to create distance, but our Ancient Apparition used a Celestial Spirit to stun him at the landing point.

The enemy Windranger used the Crystal Spell "Wind Force," setting the wind direction to blow from the Dire highlands towards the Radiant, intending to blow the Dire players over for a combo kill. Monkey King was blown to the edge of the highlands and forced to use his ultimate. After he was used, Windranger used Binding Strike to bind him and the Legion Commander behind him.

Seeing this, the enemy Ursa activated its Black King Bar and entered the edge of the monkey formation to start slapping Legion Commander. The moment the Binding Shot ended, Beastmaster took over the control from the high ground with Primal Roar and continued to control Legion Commander. Legion Commander couldn't wake up, but was blown to the lower right by the wind. Ursa followed up with the slaps. The Radiant players, blocked by the monkey formation, stood on the left side of the high ground to respond.

Just as the special effects were flying around and the situation was chaotic, Da Niu's spirit secretly came to the middle of the four Radiant players, stunned them all with one stomp, and then a chasm gradually spread from his feet to the feet of the plane and the windranger.

Big Bull immediately used Blink Dagger to get close to the four opponents. After using Soul Reaper, the Aghanim's Scepter effect made him shine with gold. He raised his big fist and prepared to fight.

Just as the stun was about to end, the Monkey King followed up with a ground slam, stunning the opposing Ursa, Gyrocopter, and Windranger. Thanks to Earthshaker's Natural Order, this strike dealt maximum damage. Then, a Refresher Orb effect flashed across his body, followed by another strike!

With that one blow, all three opponents were wiped out!

The enemy sprite had a cheese on it, ready to save someone at any moment, but it didn't react in time because the damage from the final hit and the bull's earth-shattering rift were calculated at the same time. One second the enemy's three people were still healthy, and the next second they were instantly vaporized!

What followed was a brilliant pursuit, and in the end, the Dire pushed down the Radiant's high ground in one fell swoop.

"The first contestant is the Monkey King from the video. Can you guess which contestant from our country he is?"

The correct answer quickly appeared in the comments section, proving that this level of difficulty was no challenge for our comment masters.

The host smiled and switched to the next video.

The second player's video was a mid-lane solo match, with both sides playing Shadow Fiend. My team had the Radiant Shadow Fiend, equipped with two branches and a sash, while the opponent's Shadow Fiend started with a branch, a fairy fire, and a sash.

Our team had a better creep control strategy. The opponent missed a ranged creep, and we immediately finished it off. We then rushed to level 2 and pressured the opponent, gradually expanding our advantage and snowballing. By four minutes, our creep score was 17-8, while the opponent's was 12-3. The opponent even missed a shot because they were in a hurry, and they also ran out of mana.

At 5 minutes and 25 seconds, our Shadow Fiend reached level 6 and continued to exert pressure, giving the opponent no chance at all. We didn't fight them head-on, just kept suppressing them.

We patiently suppressed them for ten minutes, and our Shadow Fiend had a CS score of 61-40, while the opponent's was 27-4.

My Shadow Fiend had a large healing potion, a magic wand with 12 energy, a magic resistance cloak, boots, and a belt. The opponent only had a belt and a magic wand without energy. Finally, my Shadow Fiend found an opportunity to take him down with two Shadow Rush followed by a basic attack.

The second Puck match lasted 23 minutes, and we won in the end.

"You can see that this player is very strong in the mid lane, like a laning machine. Also, please note that this mid lane solo game is in a very early version, without neutral items or a talent system. Can you guess which player he is?"
