From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

The Tidehunter's Black King Bar (BKB) was about to expire, and his health was low, so he could only retreat towards his own second tower. Terrorblade (TB) also retreated, but as TB retreated back from the river, he was attacked by Timbersaw, who chased after him and used his chainsaw. TB came up to cover TB, but was hooked by Timbersaw's chainsaw and pulled into the bottom right corner of the forest to create distance.

At this moment, Gu Ran's Puck finally found an opportunity to enter the battlefield. He used Blink Dagger to get close to Langgo and used Starfall and Illusion Orb to hit both Terrorblade and Langgo. Terrorblade was left with low health and was forced to trade his health with Keeper of the Light, who had just bought back. Then the three of them retreated in a sorry state to the sound of Langgo's piano.

I can keep them!

Old Fang's Clockwork Technician launched a grappling hook that precisely hooked the Lightbringer who was running at the back, and then used a gear to trap him, but Langgo pulled the Lightbringer out of the gear's range in time with a lick.

Jiangxia's Poison Dog also followed, using Blink Dagger to break and imprison Langgo. The Timbersaw Blink Dagger went to the location where Langgo was imprisoned, and upon his release, immediately used Death Whirlwind to finish him off.

Huaqiang kills Chalice, earning 379 gold + 504 gold, split among 4 heroes.

After taking two steps forward in front of the Timbersaw, Lu Chen felt that his health was only a quarter left and that charging in was a bit arrogant, so he took a few steps back, just in time to dodge the giant fish's leap stomp. At this moment, the Tree of Life also came over and prepared to kill the low-health Timbersaw together with Terrorblade, but Terrorblade's Demonic Transformation had ended, and Kayn once again used Raven's Sand and Echoing Slash to interrupt the Radiant's output. Finally, he was hooked back into his own formation by the Timbersaw's 100-health Timbersaw Chain Slash.

The comments at this moment:

"limit!"

"Give Huaqiang a change of pants!"

Gu Ran saw the tree with remaining blood amidst the crowd, cast a Phantom Orb and followed up with a Crescent Slash, taking the Tree Spirit Guardian with him.

Knowing he was powerless to fight any longer, TB teleported back to base under the second tower after being hit by the sliver of light, thus ending the Roshan team fight.

After this wave of attacks, Radiant's economy surpassed that of Dire, leading by 2k gold.

Although Puck had the Aegis, the Dire still didn't engage in direct team fights with the Radiant. The three core heroes continued to split push in all three lanes. Gu Ran, with the Aegis, could push the most dangerous lanes. The opposing team didn't seem to care much about this Puck with the Aegis, so the situation remained deadlocked until the next Roshan spawned.

Forty minutes into the match, the third Roshan had entered its spawn cycle. The Dire side sent Timbersaw to farm at home, while the other four members used Smoke of Deceit to head towards the left Roshan pit. Finding that the Aegis hadn't spawned, they entered the Radiant triangle area, destroyed the outpost, established vision, and patiently waited.

At this moment, the Radiant team also activated their fog of war and was scanning the map in the Dire triangle area. Unfortunately, they didn't manage to catch any Dire players. The Timbersaw on the high ground was also playing very cautiously, and rushing to the high ground to kill the Timbersaw seemed like a waste of time.

After the Radiant outpost was destroyed by the enemy, they also learned the location of the main enemy force.

So the five Radiant players returned the way they came. They wanted to try to start a team fight before Timbersaw returned, and it would be perfect if they could kill one or two of the enemy before Timbersaw came back.

Gu Ran's Puck was highly skilled and daring. He stood at the bottom of the stairs from the triangle area to the second tower and broke through the fog, just in time to run into the returning Radiant team. The moment he saw the Tidehunter, he immediately used Phase Shift to dodge the Tidehunter's Blink Stomp. Then he used Illusion Orb to create vision behind the Radiant team, and then used Blink Dagger to return to the triangle area. He then lured the Radiant team over by appearing and disappearing at the top of the stairs.

Radiant's Terrorblade went first, hoping to capitalize on Puck's mistake or find other opponents, but they were forced back by two Cogs thrown by Clockwerk at the stairwell.

Just as they were hesitating about whether to rush into this triangle area, XS's birdman suddenly used Blink Dagger to jump to the ruins of the enemy's second mid-tower!

Wang Chunyu judged that the enemy support was most likely in this position, and he was right. Right in front of him were the enemy's Treant Protector and Keeper of the Light support.

I've found the Lightbringer!

Upon hearing his teammate's voice chat, Gu Ran immediately Blink Dagger forward and used Dream Coil to hold the frontline Terrorblade and Slardar. Meanwhile, Timbersaw, who had teleported to the outpost, also Blink Daggered in after Birdman, unleashing a Shiva's Guard, Death Cyclone, Serrated Wheel, and Timbersaw Chains, which, combined with Birdman's damage, melted Keeper of the Light.

Huaqiang kills FY, earning 369 gold + 372 gold, which are split among the three heroes.

The Keeper of the Light was instantly killed and had to buy back. On the battlefield, all three cores of the Radiant had activated Black King Bars (BKBs), while XS's Swiftman and LuChen's Timbersaw also activated BKBs. Timbersaw even activated Aghanim's Scepter and Active Armor and charged at Terrorblade. Swiftman used a hook to return to the triangle area and escaped the main battlefield.

Seeing his teammates safely retreat, Timbersaw also used his chain saw to hook away. Terrorblade's damage was negligible against Timbersaw, who had Aghanim's Scepter and active armor, allowing him to escape successfully.

"This skirmish resulted in Keeper of the Light buying back and a bunch of Black King Bars, but the team fight isn't over yet, and the ownership of the Aegis of Roshan is still uncertain."

The narrator's tone was somewhat tense.

The Dire continued to defend the Radiant's triangle area with five players, while the Radiant team chose to use Smoke of Deceit to circle around to the Dire's main jungle area. The two sides faced each other across the river.

The Dire team could roughly guess the enemy's location. After losing track of the five Radiant players for nearly half a minute, they tried to take the Aegis to lure the enemy into a team fight, since the outposts now belonged to the Dire team, and buying back would be advantageous for the Dire team.

So the lure machine took the Roshan pit to deal damage, Kai went in to take the Aegis, and Lao Fang's Clockwerk stood guard outside the Roshan pit.

Tianhui cleared the fog and arrived at the stairs, only to have it broken by Clockwerk. Tidehunter immediately jumped and stomped on Clockwerk. Terrorblade's Demonic Transformation was off cooldown again thanks to Keeper of the Light's tireless chakra magic, and he activated his transformation to prepare to attack Clockwerk. However, Clockwerk was left with very low health and activated Ghost Scepter, making him temporarily unkillable.

The two players inside the Roshan pit retreated upon seeing the enemy approaching. Gu Ran's Puck, with Blink Dagger, entered the Dire formation, heading straight for the backline and providing vision for Timbersaw. Timbersaw, upon spotting the enemy Treant Protector's location, immediately Blink Daggered in and, with Puck's help, eliminated Treant Protector. Meanwhile, Clockwerk in the river also died at the same time. Both supports immediately used buybacks after their deaths.

Although they killed the Tree of Life in this wave, the Radiant's formation remained intact. Rangor and Tidehunter were both in the river, and Terrorblade used a Hurricane Pike to push himself onto the river, quickly killing Venomancer, who bought back. The Archer King was a bit anxious to engage Rangor, but Tidehunter used a ward, and Terrorblade quickly finished him off.

The Tree also arrived at the battlefield. At this moment, the four Radiant players gathered on the river. After waiting for a wave of skill cooldowns, Timbersaw jumped into the Tree's face again, raised his Black King Bar and Aghanim's Scepter for active armor, and killed the Tree on the Terrorblade's face.

Gu Ran's Puck wanted to continue his maneuver, but was hit by the Orchid from the Tidehunter. Without any dispel items, he quickly retreated, narrowly escaping death from the Orchid's final damage.

XS's Birdman also used buyback, taking advantage of the opponent's Puck to relentlessly attack the Tidehunter, and with the help of Timbersaw's damage, took down the Tidehunter.

The Radiant still had Langgo and Terrorblade left, but both had high health and activated Black King Bars. Terrorblade attacked the Birdman, who also activated Black King Bar to fight back against Terrorblade. However, in a head-on duel, the Birdman was no match for Terrorblade, and Kayn bought back and died.

However, Kai's death was delayed until Terrorblade's Black King Bar was about to end. He watched as Langgo was being ganged up on by three opponents and could only teleport to the spot, ultimately leaving Langgo's corpse behind to escape successfully.

Although the Dire managed to control the Aegis of the Immortal in this wave, they also had to use three buybacks, so they didn't have much of an economic advantage. They only managed to get the Timbersaw to carry the Aegis.
