From Pokémon to The International, Dota 2

Thirty minutes later, Ember Spirit's Aegis of the Immortal dropped, while Sven acquired Satanic. At this moment, his equipment was extremely luxurious—Blink Dagger, Phase Boots, Black King Bar, Satanic, Daedalus, and Harpoon—making his combat power terrifying.

He arrived at the Radiant triangle area, guarding his high ground ward, and saw a Bane approaching, possibly preparing to counter-ward. He immediately activated his ultimate and Blink Dagger, taking away half of Bane's health in one hit. However, before the second hit could land, Bane was saved by Centaur Warrunner's escape skill. At this moment, Centaur Warrunner performed a Blink Dagger and Sven naturally activated his Black King Bar. However, after Bane emerged from the box, he immediately used a Manta Style to grab Sven!

"Can anyone save SVEN?!"

As if hearing the commentator's cry for help, Lu Chen's Dark Seer used Blink Dagger to enter the fray, interrupting Acolyte of Pain with a Vacuum, and then placed a Replicating Wall on the spot. Sven turned around and took down Acolyte of Pain with a single strike. The cleave damage evaporated half of Shadow Fiend's health, scaring Shadow Fiend into activating Black King Bar and retreating. Sven tried to chase Shadow Fiend but was pushed away by Hurricane Pike, and both of their carry positions were forced out of the main battlefield.

At this moment, Dark Seer and Lich had both died in the chaotic battle. Bane used his buyback, and as soon as he teleported down, he was killed again by Clockwerk and Gu Ran's Puck. On the other side, Centaur and Ember Spirit saw that Sven didn't have BKB and wanted to try to kill him, but the level 23 Sven was not flustered at all when facing two opponents. Although his ultimate only had a few seconds left, he cut off a third of Ember Spirit's health with one strike, scaring Ember Spirit into flying back to his own triangle area.

The situation on the field has become three against four. The Dire team has Sven, Puck, and Clockwerk left, while the Radiant team has Shadow Fiend, Spectral Demon, Centaur Warrunner, and Ember Spirit left.

Both sides felt they could fight. Centaur tried to step on Clockwerk but got trapped. Shadow Fiend came over to kill Clockwerk. Sven found an opportunity to jump and hammer Shadow Fiend, but Shadow Fiend was saved by Ember Spirit's escape skill. Unable to kill Shadow Fiend, Sven turned to kill Centaur. Although Sven had degenerated from red form to blue form, he still had nearly 500 attack power. After killing Centaur, his own Clockwerk was killed by Ember Spirit with Black King Bar activated.

Shadow Fiend used his ultimate ability on the spot, and Sven immediately used his harpoon to hook the tree and leave. He fought and retreated with Puck. Ember Spirit wanted to chase down the low-health Puck, but he didn't notice that his teammates were too afraid to follow. He was hit by Sven and was severely damaged. Just as he was about to use his teleportation ability to escape, Gu Ran used a Blink Dagger followed by Crescent Slash to silence him. Finally, he was burned to death by Puck's Divine Axe damage.

"This team fight ended with a three-for-four exchange, which was probably Radiant's best chance to kill Sven, but they didn't seize it."

This wave did not disrupt SVEN's rhythm. They continued to control the Aegis and push forward with the Soul Stone. At the 40-minute mark, they had a 23000 gold lead. Gu Ran stood on the Radiant high ground with the Aegis. He immediately used Blink Dagger to open up vision and found the Hundred Plays King, forcing him to use his escape skill.

Centaur stuns Puck with a leaping stomp. Shadow Fiend comes over and is about to follow up with damage when Dark Seer uses Vacuum to pull all three of them in. Sven follows up with damage, killing the King of the Fists with one strike, Shadow Fiend with the fourth, and Centaur with the seventh.

[XS has surpassed the killing power of gods and achieved a triple kill!]

Knowing there was no hope of turning the tide, the Demon-Locking Tower in the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy" typed "GG".

Congratulations to Team Zhenhunshi for winning this match! The score is now 2-0, and they have secured three match points!

After the second match, the post-match statistics were released, and Sven's stats were a terrifying 24-0-9, which would earn him the title of "Above the Heavens" in a certain arcade game.

"Thank you, Taro!"

Numerous "thank you Taro" messages appeared in various live stream rooms because Sven's appearance is very similar to Ultraman Taro, and he also has two forms, red and blue—the red form is powerful and the blue form is ordinary.

"The MVP of this match was awarded to XS from the Soul Stone team, and this result is well-deserved. Most of the damage in the Dire was dealt by Sven, and he maintained his godlike status until the end of the match."

On the main stage, the MVP of the second game was unanimously awarded to Sven, the wandering swordsman.

After a short break, the draft phase for the third game quickly began. As usual, the main stage saw a GG, and when they returned to the game, both teams had already completed their lineups.

The team composition for the Demon-Locking Tower in the game is Radiant, with Tiny in position 1, Windranger in position 2, Langgo in position 3, Senhai Feixia in position 4, and Ice Spirit in position 5.

On the Soul Stone side, the lineup is Nightmare: position 1 Vengeful Spirit, position 2 Zeus, position 3 Beastmaster, position 4 Inkstone, and position 5 Bane.

"The lineup on the Soul Stone side is moving very fast. They're pushing quickly with Beastmaster and Vengeful Spirit. And with the Inkstone's Soul Enchantment, all four heroes can synergize. They all have targeted skills: Bane's Claw, Beastmaster's Primal Roar, Zeus's Lightning Bolt, and Vengeful Spirit's Magic Arrow and ultimate. It feels like a very strong lineup in the early to mid-game. They're preparing to take down the Demon Tower when their momentum is at its peak."

Commentator AA began analyzing the hero selection strategy of Zhenhunshi.

"Relatively speaking, the Demon Locking Tower side is stronger in the late game. In the late game, Ice Soul can hide in its own fountain. With a Linglong Heart, it can unleash a powerful ultimate every 20 seconds or so. Tiny is also very strong at defending high ground. When we get to the Soul Stone and prepare to push high ground, we will definitely encounter a lot of trouble."

The veteran player expressed optimism about the Demon-Sealing Tower's late-game potential and ability to defend high ground.

The match began, and Gu Ran, in the mid lane, started with three branches, Fairy Flame, and two mangoes. As soon as he entered the lane, he used his first skill, Arc Lightning, to stun enemies while last-hitting minions. When facing low-health mage minions, he would first auto-attack them and then use Arc Lightning to secure the kill.

When Fengxing used a powerful attack during the rune-stealing phase, Gu Ran silently remembered it and played very aggressively against him in lane.

While last-hitting minions and chipping away at Windranger's health, Windranger was still trying to deny the minions, completely unaware of the impending danger—the minion wave had been cleared by lightning, and Zeus had reached level two!

A divine leap! Basic attack, arc lightning! Basic attack! Mango! Basic attack! Arc lightning!

Windranger was slowed by Holy Jump, stuck and constantly hit by lightning, and finally died under her own tower.

First blood!

"Another solo kill in the mid lane! This game's script seems very similar to the first one, and they're also going for a mid-game push composition. Could this game be a repeat of the first game's storyline?"

The audience cheered enthusiastically, and the ID "firefly" resounded throughout the venue.

"Windrunner was indeed difficult to play this game, as the opposing team had heroes that countered her."

The commentators could only offer a three-second moment of silence for Windranger before moving the camera to the bottom lane.

"This Beastmaster's build in the bot lane is really sexy. He went straight for three Sage's Masks and a bare Iron Helmet in his pre-order spree. Is he planning to scrape the enemy to death with an axe?"

Five minutes in, a wave of creeps pushed into the bottom lane tower. Beastmaster activated tower defense and charged straight at Ancient Apparition. Beastmaster was a bit disoriented by Ancient Apparition's use of the shadows in the trees. With the slow from the Boar, he shouldn't be able to escape, but Tiny came over and used Avalanche to stop Beastmaster's pursuit...

[Damn, it got cut off!]

Just as Lu Chen sighed, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky!

Firefly kills Redpanda, earning 201 gold + 88 gold split between two heroes.

It's only been five minutes and eleven seconds, but Gu Ran has already secured the first blood and has a clear level advantage, reaching level six much earlier.
