From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

Shadow Fiend remained calm even after being lifted to the enemy's second tower, immediately activating his Mask of Madness and spamming Doom. The enemy Techies was initially stunned, then immediately used his Demolish to launch himself towards Shadow Fiend. However, Doom was taken down by Shadow Fiend's last auto-attack before he was stunned.

[XS has become a ruthless killer!]

"Quickly check Shadow Fiend, get ready to save him!"

There was no time to mourn the fallen Doomsday Bringer; the next task was to rescue Shadow Fiend, who was currently under the Radiant's second tower and the target of all Radiant's attacks, while the Dire were desperately trying to save Shadow Fiend.

The bomber immediately planted three landmines on the spot.

Gu Ran's captain charged into the second tower first, placing a Torrent at the feet of Shadow Fiend. After Shadow Fiend hit the Techies, he was disarmed by Active Shock, but he did not retreat an inch. He directly pressed the Techies twice on the spot, and with the Torrent damage, took down the Techies.

The moment the Bomber died, the Lich, who had bought back, returned to the battlefield and unleashed a series of Frostbite on Shadow Fiend. Shadow Fiend quickly used Hurricane Spear to push himself back, while Gu Ran's Captain did not retreat at all. After marking the Lich, he first attacked with Water Blade and then Ghost Ship. Rubick also came over from the side. He stole the Bomber's ultimate and then planted a Sensing Mine directly under the Lich's feet. The Lich died again immediately after buying back.

Shadow Fiend was hit by a powerful arrow from Windranger hiding on the high ground in the left jungle, and then healed back a little health by Ember Spirit's "Biscuit". After the Chain Frost bounced once to Shadow Fiend, it started to travel to Ember Spirit behind him. Grandma quickly created distance to prevent Shadow Fiend from being hit by the next ultimate bounce.

Knowing that Shadow Fiend had a shield, Windranger didn't dare to rush in to deal damage. Now Shadow Fiend only had a little over 300 health left and successfully retreated to the vicinity of the Mysterious Merchant. He immediately teleported home. Gu Ran gave him a mark at the last second of his teleport, so that once Shadow Fiend's health was fully restored, he could be pulled back immediately and continue to suppress the opponent with the shield.

As a result, in the last second before the teleportation, another powerful shot came, and Shadow Fiend's health dropped to single digits, but he still didn't die.

"Can someone come and get this Shadow Fiend a new pair of pants?"

The commentator clicked on the buffs on Shadow Fiend, and the mouse hovered over the "Commander's Rum" buff for a while.

Shadow Fiend returned to the fountain, immediately grabbed his gear, bought a large potion, and recovered the maximum amount of health within the time limit.

Just as Shadow Fiend was about to continue attacking the tower after returning to the battlefield, Rubick suddenly used Blink Dagger to jump into the left jungle and found Windranger. Windranger fired a few arrows before the Dire finally discovered his presence.

However, Jiao Ge's Windranger reacted quickly, immediately using his Black King Bar (BKB) and then locking down Rubick with his ultimate.

[Windranger's ultimate is mine!]

Seeing this, Jiang Xia immediately turned around and ran a few steps before encountering his own Shadow Fiend. A Hurricane Halberd helped Rubick escape Windranger's range. Windranger, seeing this, had no choice but to retreat, as he dared not confront Shadow Fiend head-on.

Gu Ran's captain was originally planning to go to the triangle area to farm the enemy's ancients, but when he saw the fight starting here, he quickly activated his Phase Boots and rushed over, finally marking Windranger just as his Black King Bar was about to expire.

The marker connects to the torrent, then to the biscuit, then to the lightning bolt, then to the weakened energy flow, then to the shadow pressure, and the Windrunner falls down directly.

XS kills Ori, gaining 341 gold + 288 gold, which is split among the three heroes.

The XS is unstoppable!

Shadow Fiend turned around and destroyed the Radiant's second top tower, ending the team fight and widening the economic gap between the two sides to 13,000.

Then Shadow Fiend continued to lead the team to push the second mid-lane tower. If any member of the team was not in good condition and needed to go back to replenish their health, they would simply call Gu Ran over to mark them. As a result, when Shadow Fiend was pushing the second mid-lane tower, all four brothers were at full health again.

"At this point, the Captain becomes a bit of a leech, almost like a mobile fountain for the team, a king of healing."

The commentator made a humorous remark.

After the second tower was destroyed, it would be impolite for the brothers to push high ground while their skills were on cooldown, as the enemy players were already alive. So the Dire decided to retreat. At this point, with the Dire having a 14,000 gold lead and Shadow Fiend with Aegis, Da Laoshi only gave the Dire a 63% win rate.

When the Dire's skill cooldowns were almost finished, Shadow Fiend had one minute left on his shield, and the five of them gathered to prepare to push the Radiant's top lane high ground.

Shadow Fiend stood directly on the Radiant high ground, activated his Mask of Madness, and attacked the tower. This arrogant move naturally angered the Radiant. The Lifestealer and Lich, who were pushing lanes outside, immediately teleported home. Doom used Blink Dagger to get close, but just as he jumped into Shadow Fiend's face, Shadow Fiend activated Manta Style - now he didn't know which of the three Shadow Fiends was the real one.

Fortunately, he ate a giant frog, which gave him the Deepwater Tentacles skill, allowing him to stun three Shadow Fiends. He then randomly chose a Cleave Blade and retreated.

I've marked him!

Having failed to make the first move, escaping was not so easy. Gu Ran's captain directly marked Doom, and Doom Messenger could only use Black King Bar to escape.

XS knew that most of the opponents had returned, so he chose to retreat to the area below the high ground to attack the defensive tower. Although there was a 25% chance of missing when attacking from a lower position, it was relatively safer.

However, after Doom used his Black King Bar (BKB), he dared not initiate again. Seeing this situation, Diao could only tell his teammates to give up defending this lane, and he continued to push the lane outside.

The Dire team continues to pressure the Radiant. When there are creep waves that need to be dealt with at home, Gu Ran can mark himself, then teleport back, use a Water Blade and Torrent to clear the wave, and then mark himself back. This way, he can continuously farm the enemy's resources in their half of the map and expand his economic advantage.

With 31 minutes left in the game, the Roshan's Aegis was about to spawn. The Dire team first went to the bottom right corner of the map to destroy the Cube, and then used Smoke of Deceit to teleport through the portal.

At this moment, Radiant also activated Smoke of Deceit, and Little Dog went into Doom, wanting to find an opportunity in the top lane to see if Dire would have someone who was undisciplined and sat at the gate to farm the wave first.

After the Dire team moved to the top left corner of the map, the Captain and Rubick went to the front, Shadow Fiend was in the middle, and Treant Protector and Soraka were in the back row. The formation was very scientific, firmly protecting the main damage dealers in the center.

The Radiant and Dire were breaking the fog of war at the ruins of the Dire's Tier 1 tower on the top lane. The moment the fog broke, Rubick immediately used Blink Dagger to jump to the backline. Gu Ran activated Black King Bar the instant he saw Doom. Naturally, Doom couldn't use his ultimate on a Captain who had activated Black King Bar. Shadow Fiend stood behind the Captain and started spamming Doom.

Seeing his own Doom's health rapidly decreasing, Jiang An's Lich could only use Blink Dagger to step forward and use Shadow Gaze to absorb the Shadow Fiend.

Gu Ran's captain had marked the end of the world and was preparing to set sail when a lich suddenly jumped out from the left. So Gu Ran used Torrent and his ultimate skill directly on the lich's face. The lich turned around and tried to run away, but was pushed back by a tidal wave and ate the ghost ship. Then it was hit by the captain's water blade and died.

Firefly has become a ruthless killer!

After killing the Lich, the Radiant could only flee. Jiang Xia's Ember Spirit found an opportunity and used Blink Dagger to find Windranger standing behind, ready to use a powerful attack to wear her down. She used Crystal Biscuit to control her, and then another Crystal Biscuit—it turned out that she had reached level 20 and unlocked the Double Biscuit talent.

Windranger was reduced to half health after being sat on by two cookies. She woke up, activated Black King Bar, and tried to run away, but was stopped by Treant Protector's Growl. Shadow Fiend then came over and finished off Windranger.

[XS has become a monster of killing!]

Seeing that the Dire had used up most of their skills, Doom used Blink Dagger to close in on Shadow Fiend. Lifestealer also emerged, and Techies started charging up his Explosive Spell to take off—they had no choice but to gamble everything and see if they could kill Shadow Fiend instantly!
