From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

"This Radiant team traded one for three and even took down a tower, which was a great trade. Doom's ultimate was also used on Vengeful Spirit, but they didn't kill him. The Soul Stone team also took the opportunity to clear out the enemy's triangle area resources and then retreated to the bottom right corner of the map to prepare for the Crystal."

freeagain summarized this team fight.

"With Vengeful Spirit's armor reduction and Witch Doctor's healing, the Radiant didn't have much trouble clearing this cube. However, when they finished and were leaving the gate, the Witch Doctor was a little slow and was caught by Tiny who came through the fog of war!"

Sylar kills OldFang, earning 327 gold + 228 gold split between two heroes.

"Little Xiao, along with two other guys, also moved through the gate. Little Xiao used Shadow Blade to be the first to try and break Tianhui's discipline. Will Tianhui give them the chance?"

Feng Zhuiyi continued the conversation:

"But Skywrath Mage was crouching in the woods, and with a Spirit Veil (a support item added in patch 7.41 that can be cast on the ground; if an enemy enters the target area within 15 seconds, it will attach to the enemy, dealing damage and granting true sight), he accurately pinpointed the enemy's path, and Tiny was spotted!"

[I've kept quiet around Xiaoxiao, and he's stopped me in my tracks!]

I yelled at Tusk!

[They've got Little One tied up! The large ashes have been given!]

The main stage was set to the voice channel of the Soul Stone team, where you could hear frequent reports of victory. On the game screen, Tiny was being killed by various skills, Axe cut down Tusk, and Winter Wyvern came but couldn't save Tiny, and could only die as a result.

Firefly has gone on a killing spree, even securing a double kill!

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

"Soul-revitalizing stone! Soul-revitalizing stone! Soul-revitalizing stone!"

"Get ready to drink, drink, drink, drink!"

Two consecutive team fight victories ignited the audience's enthusiasm.

After winning the team fight, Radiant destroyed the enemy's second top tower, bringing the gold difference between the two sides to 6K.

At 23 minutes and 40 seconds into the match, Radiant activated a Smoke of Deception.

"This team is probably planning to use Smoke of Deceit to gank Puck who's farming in the top lane. Chao is farming this dangerous wave in front of his own second turret ruins because he's already built a ward. Will he die?"

"Axe jumped and roared! But Phase Shift dodged it. It seems that Brother Chao was on guard against the opponent. However, Skywrath Mage used Concussive Orb and Urn of Shadows (the nickname of the Spirit Artifact). Axe started to chase, but it looks like he probably won't be able to catch up."

YUNO observed the movement speed on both sides and concluded that Puck should be able to escape.

"Ember Spirit came over and used Sleight of Hand and Solar Chains to bind Puck! But Puck had a Dispel, which dispelled Solar Chains. Puck quickly used Illusion Orb to escape, but was stopped by Cyclone! Who used Cyclone? It was Ember Spirit's!"

The screen shows Ember Spirit's equipment inventory, where the Force Staff is clearly on cooldown.

"Something's wrong! Puck's entire skill cooldown is on! Skywrath Mage is coming, Ancient Seal! Now Puck has nothing to break silence, Mystic Radiance! Super Bro's down!"

Firefly kills Maybe, gaining 392 gold + 294 gold split between two heroes.

"This hair dryer from Firecat is so cleverly made! Did you see the Puck plate and make it?"

The commentator noted Ember Spirit's items: Phase Boots, Urn of Shadows, Gleaning Light, Ogre Magi, Eul's Scepter, Magic Wand, all early to mid-game power items. He currently has a Black King Bar (BKB) in his pre-order slot. His current score is 7-1-7.

"This Ember Spirit was very responsible in the early game, leading his teammates in constant fights. His item build was also very clever, and he played exceptionally well."

The commentator, Freeagain, praised Gu Ran, and some audience members started calling out the ID "firefly," but not many.

"This time, they caught Puck and immediately went for Roshan. The pace was very tight. With the Aegis, VS can play more aggressively. They can even use their ultimate to trade one of their key heroes with another."

"The Dire dared not engage the main force, so they could only split up and push lanes. Their carry, Kaka, was arrested while trying to farm dangerous lanes. In this situation, they had no choice but to let their supports die and let their carry farm. Now it's up to the Radiant to see how much they can accomplish with this Roshan's Aegis."

The Soul Stone team also used shields to suppress the enemy, first taking down all the second towers, and then instead of rushing to the high ground, they ganked people all over the map.

"Skywrath Mage and Ember Spirit on the top lane detected someone, but couldn't find Tiny with Shadow Blade, so Tiny knocked him back. Wait a minute! Tiny got information on two enemies, and Vengeful Spirit on the bottom lane high ground was immediately caught out! Radiant's pressure seems to have made some mistakes. The enemy team is all five together, but Radiant Vengeful Spirit only has Witch Doctor camping behind him!"

In the bottom lane, Vengeful Spirit was immediately closed in by Tiny's Blink Dagger, and was controlled by an Avalanche. Tusk came over to increase the damage output of a wrestling expert, and Ancient Apparition also added a Frostbite for damage. Vengeful Spirit lost his shield and was located at the midpoint between the bottom lane high ground of the Radiant and the stairs in the triangle area.

At this moment, Gu Ran's Ember Spirit immediately flew back to the mid lane, and Axe King was also rushing to the battlefield, but it was obviously too late, as Vengeful Spirit had already respawned.

XS immediately used Teleport to shield himself, activated Manta Style, then threw Magic Arrow at Tiny and Crystal Shot at Tusk. The enemy team was relentless in their pursuit of their core heroes; both Doom and Tiny had Black King Bars active. However, Lao Fang's Witch Doctor walked out from the triangle area, using a Bouncing Ball followed by Curse and then his ultimate. Because the Ward was planted in the middle of the crowd, not everyone in the Dire team saw it immediately. Tiny, with Black King Bar active, walked onto the high ground, only to be outmaneuvered by Witch Doctor's Glimmer.

"Witch Doctor's ultimate! The Witch Doctor's ultimate needs to be interrupted!"

The commentator shouted, but the Dire's Frost Wyrm hadn't flown up yet, so they couldn't get up there. Tiny was outmaneuvered by the Invisibility and couldn't hit the Witch Doctor. Tusk, Doom, and Puck were all behind them.

"Ember Spirit is here! A Soul Rush followed by Solar Lid locks down Tusk and Ancient Apparition! Axe has arrived too, using Leap and Roar on Puck! Tiny finally finished using Avalanche on cooldown, interrupting Witch Doctor's ultimate, but that staff's damage has already been maxed out, the Dire can only run!"

"Axe King's pursuit! A powerful slam kills Tiny first, Vengeful Spirit's Aghanim's Scepter illusion leaves Doom, and with follow-up damage, Doom is also taken down! Look behind, Ember Spirit has also killed Tusk, and Ancient Apparition is about to die!"

The audience cheered again. This wave saw Radiant trade their Aegis and first life for four Dire heroes, widening the gold difference to nine thousand. Because they had no creeps and were low on health, Radiant didn't immediately push the high ground but instead went back to farm.

"It was crucial that no one interrupted the Witch Doctor's ultimate just now. The Dire side realized they needed to interrupt the Witch Doctor, but being invisible meant he was practically invincible. The support didn't provide a Control Ward or Dust of the Goddess in time, so they have to take the blame."

After the team fight ended, the main stage replayed some highlights of the fight. It was indeed a bit unreasonable that the Witch Doctor could cast his ultimate skill for so long in front of five people.

While the audience was watching the replay, the Radiant team, who had just returned from replenishing their supplies, spotted a Puck jungling under a ward on the left side of the ruins of the enemy's second mid-lane tower.

[I saw Parker! I yelled at him!]

Lu Chen's Axe King made a decisive leap and roar, and his teammates followed up with damage.

As soon as Puck's plate was triggered, he was lifted up by Ember Spirit's Eul's Scepter and landed to be silenced by Skywrath Mage. It was a smooth combo and it looked like Puck was about to die. But Kaka's Tusk arrived at the critical moment and used a Snowball to cover his teammate!

Unfortunately, the ancient seal lasted too long. The four Radiant members stood close together, not giving Snowball a chance to buy time. When Puck came out, he was still silent. The Witch Doctor used a bouncy spell, and in the end, Tusk failed to save anyone and ended up getting himself killed.

After killing the two, they destroyed the Dire's mid-lane high ground. At this moment, Puck also respawned. Radiant did not linger in the fight and retreated in time. The economic difference between the two sides reached 12K.
