From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

"Wait, no, wait, this big tree didn't sit at the door, it just followed the clockwork directly online!"

However, Tianhui did not expect that Dashu would not rush back. Lao Fang knew that his own position 1 had suffered a small loss, so he thought it would be better to give the opponent's position 1 some strength.

"They want to kill Shadow Fiend!"

Old Fang unleashed a powerful punch from the tree, followed by Rubick's Telekinesis to lift Shadow Fiend back after the control period ended. Doom then used Yama's Blade, and finally, a Blood Grenade!

Clockwerk wanted to come to the rescue, but the Dire team had Shadow Fiend pinned down, so going over to place a cog had no effect!

"Don't kill my brother!"

The voice of the guy named "Diao" rose higher and higher as the Shadow Fiend's health decreased.

First blood!

Huaqiang kills Sylar and receives 305 gold + 74 gold, which are split between the two heroes.

The tree was later killed by Orianna, but in order to finish off the low-health tree, he took a lot of damage from minions and was also reduced to low health.

[qyqx killed oldfang and received 190 gold coins + 57 gold coins for a hero]

"This bot lane is not right now. Shadow Fiend and Orianna should be able to easily defeat Fiddlesticks, but now Fiddlesticks got first blood and Orianna is low on health. Shadow Fiend missed three melee minions. The bot lane can no longer suppress Fiddlesticks and is even being pressured in return."

As the commentators predicted, Doom pressured Shadow Fiend during the laning phase. By six minutes, Doom had 3100 gold, while Shadow Fiend only had 2184.

However, the mid laner, Tidehunter, had a good chance against Invoker. At this moment, Tidehunter had 2671 gold while Invoker only had 1956. In the top lane, because Treant Protector was slow to return to lane, Templar Assassin couldn't suppress Timbersaw even in a 1v2 situation at the start. At this time, Tidehunter had 2200 gold while Timbersaw had 2630 gold.

"After the laning phase, it felt like the Radiant side didn't achieve their expected goals. They should have had an advantage in both the mid and bot lanes, but now Doom is very fed, and the gold difference between the two sides is less than 1,000."

"It feels like it all started with that clockwork not letting the big tree sit on the door. He went a bit too far, didn't he?"

"That's how it is in the laning phase. Once the opponent has an advantage at the start, it's easy for them to snowball, and the original advantage in the laning phase can turn into a disadvantage."

The commentators recounted the story of sitting at the door at the start of the game.

[This mid-lane Karl is unplayable; even a support roaming around will kill him.]

Chao Ge has a significant advantage in the mid lane and is preparing to send Yao Ren over to take down the opposing Karl.

Upon hearing Maybe's message, the Radiant team's two supports decisively came to mid to help Tidehunter control the rune. Gu Ran's Invoker was already at a disadvantage in the laning phase, and now seeing that both of the enemy's supports had come to mid, he could only turt under the tower and watch helplessly as Tidehunter controlled the Aegis rune.

The enemy team's two support heroes are both controlling the rune in the middle.

Upon learning that both enemy supports had gone to the mid lane, Lu Chen's Doom immediately decided to make a move, cooperating with Rubick to dive the tower and kill Shadow Fiend who was unsupported.

Huaqiang kills Sylar, gaining 243 gold + 78 gold for a hero.

"Stop killing my eye brother, what's this soy sauce guy doing?"

Brother Diao's tone was sorrowful, and he seemed very distressed that his eyes had been killed twice during the laning phase.

"The soy sauce guy has made a move in the mid lane too! The Tidehunter is fierce, charging straight at the tower with his shield rune; Invoker is about to get hammered to death!"

When Feng Ge switched to the mid lane, he saw that Gu Ran had also been killed by the tower. Tidehunter's ultimate, Corrosive Mist, has an anti-invisibility effect, and Gu Ran could not escape even with Ghost Walk. This wave can be considered a swap of the core positions on both sides.

"In the early game, the Dire Doom was very fed, getting 4,000 gold by the 8-minute mark. Invoker was the worst off, with only 2,100 gold. He was already losing to Tidehunter in lane and got ganked. He even bought Boots of Speed ​​to fight Tidehunter but didn't get a Meteor Hammer. He'll have to farm for a long time. The Radiant Shadow Fiend was also in a bad situation, with only 2,500 gold."

Brother Jia checked the economy and then looked at the equipment of the two core positions.

With the big tree in the sky, the Radiant team had a hard time pushing towers despite their advantage. In addition, the Dire team played very cautiously, and the Radiant team failed to make any moves in their several attacks, so the economic gap remained small.

[Let's just stall this game. Our power spike will come after we get both Black King Bars. Everyone should farm gold based on their own skill. See you again with Black King Bars.]

Old Fang's voice came through the team voice chat. This familiar lineup reminded Gu Ran and Jiang Xia of their Pokémon Final Battle, which also featured Kalavix and Treant Protector, a late-game lineup. They immediately and skillfully entered a cautious, farming mode.

The Dire have excellent vision control, covering several of the Radiant jungle areas. As a result, it's difficult for them to gain any advantage when they try to engage, and they get completely overwhelmed by the Dire's split pushing.

The game time is now nine minutes and ten seconds.

[If this Karl dares to farm, go for him! His shield is way too thick!]

Maybe got a little impatient after several unsuccessful attacks, but fortunately he finally found an opportunity in the mid lane. The big fish used Murloc Smash to initiate, followed by Little Y's control, and Invoker was killed on the spot.

Kaka killed Firefly and received 240 gold coins + 118 gold coins, which were split equally between the two heroes.

[I have fog, if we push this minion wave past, we can go to the bottom lane and find a Doom.]

What are we waiting for? Let's go!

The Doom was farming in the jungle next to the Radiant's Tier 1 tower. He was ahead of Shadow Fiend in gold and was happily farming in both lane and jungle, completely unaware of the danger. As a result, he was surrounded and killed by the Dire trio.

[I just placed the Serpent Wards and pushed the tower!]

Kashin had reached level 6 and hadn't used his Serpent Wards yet. Now that the enemy's offlaner had died, it was a good opportunity to push the tower, so he immediately placed a Serpent Ward under the enemy tower.

However, right after he inserted the snake rod, a Rubick ultimate effect appeared on his body.

[Holy crap, Rubick stole my Snake Rod!]

Jiangxia's Rubick, seeing that it was impossible to save Doom, hid behind his own tower, waiting to steal the enemy Shadow Shaman's Serpent Ward.

The green and yellow Serpent Wards attacked each other under the Dire's first tower, and with the Dire also having another tower to defend, the Radiant's offensive was once again thwarted, and the first tower could not be taken down.

After this attack, the situation on the field became dull again. The Dire team just played defensively and didn't engage in team fights. Lao Fang did a good job with vision control, and the Radiant team's movements were clearly seen through several vision wards.

Several times, the Radiant team got desperate and ventured too far into enemy territory, only to be countered by the Dire. Under these circumstances, by the 20-minute mark, the Radiant team was only leading by 1,000 gold.

While Radiant was farming the Crystal, Dire also took the opportunity to push down Radiant's top tower, and then caught Timbersaw farming alone in the triangle area.

Even after the Super Brother team finished the Magic Crystal game, their economic lead was still only one thousand.

Are all the guys on the other side like turtles? They won't even accept the Magic Crystal Team?

How about we try attacking the shield and see if we can force them to come closer?

However, the Dire remained unmoved, letting the opponent control the Aegis. At this moment, Doom was farming Radiance at lightning speed, and Black King Bar was immediately in place. Templar Assassin's traps and Treant Protector's vision wards were everywhere. Invoker was also playing a very classic three-item build of Magic Crystal Boots and Meteor Hammer, farming in a cowardly manner.

Because the Radiant team needed to group up and push after securing the Aegis, they could only farm less gold than the Dire team, and their economy was gradually overtaken by the Dire.

At 23 minutes, Shadow Fiend pushed the Dire's top lane tier 2 tower with Aegis. Radiant naturally wouldn't engage Shadow Fiend with Aegis. Doom farmed in his own jungle, while Invoker used Ghost Walk to farm in the enemy's jungle. Just as Doom was having a good time farming, three big men suddenly appeared in front of him—this time he was finally standing under the enemy's vision wards, and this was the first time Radiant had gained an advantage through vision.

After Doom was killed, Gu Ran's Invoker finished clearing the main jungle and started farming towards the food street at the bottom edge of the map, where there was a ward for his own jungle, making farming relatively safe. However, Radiant's Clockwerk was already approaching.

You guys keep pushing, I'll go see if I can find Carl.

qyqx's Clockwerk sensed the approximate location of Invoker, and yang's Timbersaw, seeing this, also began to move towards the bottom lane, farming jungle camps while observing Clockwerk's position, ready to provide support at any time.
