From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

The large troll in front had already slipped into the river and, with the help of Treant Protector and Langgo, temporarily left the main battlefield, but TB attacked from behind alone.

"Holy crap, Old Chicken came up from behind all by himself! He's surrounded all five of them!"

The commentator's statement was unclear, whether it was genuine surprise or just a slip of the tongue. Anyway, Terrorblade was trapped by Venomancer, then launched by Clockwerk's Gear. In the Dire triangle, he was attacked by his own illusions, Clockwerk, Puck, and the returning Timbersaw. Tidehunter swam to the entrance of the triangle near Roshan's pit to try and help, but Terrorblade was already badly damaged.

Langgo was targeted by the birdmen and couldn't get through, so Terrorblade fought four opponents alone. He was low on health and couldn't bleed after being silenced by Puck, so he died in the Dire triangle.

Shikamaru killed oldchicken and received 420 gold + 668 gold, which was split among the four heroes.

"This Radiant invasion of the triangle area ended with a 2-for-0 exchange. We can see that their lead was already small, and after this fight, their economic lead is now only 1,000."

Feng Zhuiyi summarized the gains and losses of this team fight.

After this wave, Radiant became more cautious, and both sides farmed peacefully until 28 minutes and 50 seconds into the game. The Aegis of Roshan was about to spawn, and Radiant used Smoke of Deceit from their second tower in the middle to move towards the Roshan pit on the right. Dire also gathered in their own triangle area and placed a True Sight Ward to destroy one of Radiant's Tree Wards.

Roshan is currently spawning at the Roshan pit on the right side of the map, very close to the Dire's outpost. Radiant naturally doesn't want to fight here—the Dire's outpost is right above the Roshan pit, so they can get to the battlefield more quickly after buying back. Anyway, it's almost time for Roshan to respawn at 30 minutes. They used Smoke of Deceit and found that the Dire hadn't attacked Roshan, so they weren't in a hurry to activate Aegis. They left a Treant Protector to guard it, while the other four went to farm jungle camps nearby.

[Drive as much as you can; you guys clear the fog, I'll go first.]

Lu Chen's lure took the lead, hooking the lure chain from the river into the Radiant's main jungle, where it encountered a large tree. Shiva's Guardian activated, and Death Cyclone and Saw Wheel sawed the tree to low health. With a little follow-up damage from his teammates, the Treant Protector was quickly killed.

The Radiant team couldn't provide timely assistance, but it was already 29 minutes and 34 seconds. The Radiant team gathered under the wards on the high ground in their own main jungle to observe the Dire's movements. If the Dire didn't activate their Aegis, Treant Protector wouldn't need to buy, because Roshan's relocation would take about ten seconds, which would basically allow them to stall until Treant Protector respawned.

Get ready to use your shields; I'll be watching from outside.

Gu Ran was well aware of the advantages of initiating a team fight at this moment. He directly instructed his teammates to attack Roshan, while he stood on the stairs near the river leading to the Roshan pit in the Radiant main jungle as a human ward, ready to jump away after breaking through the fog of war.

TB sent an illusion into the Roshan pit and saw the Radiant players attacking the Aegis. The Treant Protector immediately bought back, and the other heroes also used Smoke of Deceit to rush over. Gu Ran's Puck saw the Slardar breaking through the Smoke of Deceit, first silenced him with Star and Moon Mark, and then used Illusion Orb to escape. The Dire players retreated to avoid being surrounded and killed in the Roshan pit.

"Chalice spotted a lone Clockwerk, and Terrorblade immediately used Metamorphosis, combined with Tidehunter's Leap Stomp to melt the Clockwerk. However, the Dire team retreated, so there was no follow-up. Roshan also started to move, and we can see the Radiant team moving to the top river with Roshan."

"However, wasn't this Demonic Transformation used a bit hastily? In that case, the Radiant should either take down Roshan during the Demonic Transformation's duration or initiate a team fight, otherwise it will be the Dire's turn once the Demonic Transformation ends."

The two commentators were analyzing the situation in real time, and everyone's attention followed the movement of Roshan to the vicinity of the Roshan pit in the upper left corner. At this moment, Roshan still had about one-third of its health remaining.

The four Dire players used Smoke of Deceit to circle around from the Radiant triangle area to the top left of the Roshan pit, while the main Radiant force stood at the stairs leading to the Roshan pit in the Dire main jungle. Terrorblade led a bunch of clones into the Roshan pit to start fighting Roshan, while Keeper of the Light kept using chakra magic to reduce the cooldown of Terrorblade's Demonic Transformation.

Gu Ran sensed that the upcoming team fight was crucial, so he walked from the river to the vicinity of the Roshan pit while protected by the Fog of Deception.

"Overclocking" activated.

As soon as he flew to the edge of the Wall of Flesh pit, Gu Ran felt the Misty Fog on his body dissipate. At the same time, he saw a white old man who looked like Gandalf waving his staff and casting some kind of magic. So he immediately started with Star and Moon Mark to silence the old man, followed by Dream Coil, a basic attack, and then Phase Shift. The damage from the Holy Axe hit the white old man very hard.

The teammate's lure hooked onto a tree next to the Wall of Roshan pit, flew over with a "whoosh," followed by Death Whirlwind, and the white old man fell off his horse and died.

[FY bought back!]

Knowing this was a crucial team fight, Keeper of the Light immediately bought back, and Terrorblade also came out of the Roshan pit. Seeing this, Gu Ran naturally retreated and did not confront the great demon head-on, so Terrorblade continued to return to the Roshan pit.

Gu Ran had already used his Blink Dagger to teleport to the stairs in the Radiant Triangle. He saw Terrorblade walk back into the Roshan pit and knew that he was still attacking the Aegis. He felt that the Aegis should be broken soon, so he threw an Illusion Orb into the Roshan pit—just in time to see that Roshan was left with only a sliver of health!

Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage!

When the Aegis of the Mountain had only a sliver of health left, Gu Ran used Illusionary Orb to enter the pit of the Aegis of the Mountain. Just as the Aegis of the Mountain was about to die, he threw a Dust of Appearance at Terrorblade. The moment the Aegis of the Mountain reappeared, he immediately picked it up!

The Radiant Legion defeated Roshan, earning 135 gold per player.

Firefly has seized the Guardian of Immortality!

"Holy crap! I got it!"

"Puck played the hero this time. It looks like he even put some powder on Terrorblade. This young player's hand speed is really fast."

The commentator noticed that TB had an additional "developing dust" on him.

The audience was amazed by this shield-stealing maneuver, and the number of comments on the screen surged.

After obtaining the shield, Gu Ran immediately used Phase Shift to enter the void, and as soon as Blink Dagger was off cooldown, he immediately jumped away, without taking any damage.

After jumping out of the Roshan pit, Gu Ran immediately exited Overclock. At this time, all his skills were on cooldown. He felt that the team fight was still long and he couldn't keep Overclocking on, so he chose to exit. The cooldown of this short-term Overclocking would be very short, so he could use it again in the later team fight.

At this moment, a great battle was about to break out outside the Roshan pit. Venomancer saw the big fish on the other side in the river and could only use a Shattered Imprisonment to trap himself. Terrorblade, Longo, and the big fish all moved closer to Venomancer's position. XS's Kayn placed a Dagger and Raven's Veil ultimate on the Radiant high ground, then switched to Long Sword and used Echoing Slash to stun the big fish, preventing him from stunning Venomancer who had just come out of the imprisonment. Venomancer successfully escaped with Blink Dagger.

Lu Chen's Timbersaw seized the opportunity, using Blink Dagger to close the distance to the Tidehunter and unleashing a Death Whirlwind. The Tidehunter's health dropped to one-third, forcing him to activate his Black King Bar. Timbersaw then used Chain Saw to hook the Dire high ground, but the hook was left at the edge of the river by Deep Sea Smash. At that moment, Kayn also charged in from the Radiant river. The Tidehunter ignored Timbersaw and went down to stomp on Kayn, stunning him.

TB circled around from the Radiant high ground to Kayn's back to prepare for a pincer attack, but after Kayn woke up, he used his Grappling Hook to hook a creep on the Dire high ground, creating distance.
