After the two-day group stage, eight teams stood out.

The main event of ESL Manila was held in this familiar shopping mall venue. Ti6 had just ended a few months ago, and the Mercedes-Benz Cup, which was launched with the residual warmth of the International Invitational, attracted countless DOTA fanatics. For no other reason than

Because TNC is a local Filipino team, there are four locals in the team.

As luck would have it, the opening match was between PS and TNC.

It's not that enemies don't get together. Last time TNC was defeated by VGJ.T in the first round of the lower bracket of TI. Now we have changed the team name and chose them as our opponents. The smell of gunpowder can be felt across the ocean.

smell.

The venue is as grand as ever. The exclusive blue and white ESL colors make the entire shopping mall look vast. Under the big screen in the center, there is a blue and white Mercedes-Benz - a reward for the finals MVP.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly heated, and most of them were TNC fans. Previously, because of the Kuku incident, TNC was booed at the main stadium in Shanghai. Their local fans watched from the Internet, and naturally they felt angry in their hearts. This time the situation has changed.

Switch to their home court, it’s us who will be booed.

【Wele T-N-C!】

"WOW!"

"TNC!"

Xiexie looked at the waves of people in the auditorium above his head and sneered: "Haha, the momentum is quite strong."

I shrugged: "It's useless to rely on off-court momentum in this game."

【Wele Paleo-Star 5!】

"It's our turn." The five of us appeared together.

"Uu——"

"Woo——"

There were boos.

As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates. If you come from afar and you are not polite, there is no need for us to show shame. The five people refused the interesting interview that the host intended to liven up the atmosphere and went directly into the competition room.

We still remember all the Chinese viewers of Ti6 and Liang Zi from TNC. Come on, let’s check out the new lineup.

When choosing a side before the game, we chose Dire, first ban first first.

After sitting down and debugging the equipment, something went wrong.

During the customary last-hitting training before the game, I obviously felt that the feel of the button was wrong when I was moving A. The buttons were a bit dull. Although they did not malfunction, there was a slight delay when I pressed them and then bounced back, like a rusty gear.

I turned around and asked the referee behind me: "Can the referee change the keyboard?"

After listening to the translation, he shook his head and said: "There is no spare keyboard."

"No? ESL and Mercedes-Benz can arrange it, but can't they come up with a keyboard?" Leather Shoes immediately became unhappy. The referee was obviously telling lies with his eyes wide open and gave us little shoes to wear.

I nodded: "Then I'll use my own keyboard."

"Can."

I asked the team leader to get the external keyboard from my bag, that jet black keyboard.

When I first arrived in Manila last year, Jack specially customized the VGJ model for me. Finally, the VGJ.T Lightning team logo was not affixed to the number six on the small keyboard.

I haven't used it since Jack's accident last time. I originally planned to return it to Dumb during this competition in Manila.

Speaking of Dumb, I don’t know how he and DDZ are doing now...

"Hey, the little girl is BP!"

The sound of leather shoes came to my ears. I came to my senses, said haha, and quickly connected the device.

At the beginning of BP, I chose Legion, an offensive-oriented third position that can be used as a tool. It is very useful against a team like TNC that likes to play lane superiority and suppression.

TNC was obviously well prepared, and directly grabbed the Elf Plane, and had previously banned Mok and Water Man.

I moved my fingers and took out the fire cat and phoenix. The fire cat rushed to the face and forced them to move away, while the phoenix turned into an egg and pulled out the formation, rushing to the face.

TNC takes Xiaoxiao again, Almighty.

Leather Shoes narrowed his eyes: "They should be three or four, and then hide a midfielder, what should we say?"

"Hmm..." I thought for a while, and then clicked on Poison Dog to replenish the lane and rescue points, but this way we have a little less control. In addition to the legion's ultimate move, the Fire Cat has C

There is also an all-purpose condom solution.

Fy had something to say: "I don't think we need to compensate for the control, just use a hero who plays position, and our team battle will not be weak."

That's right, anyway, TNC is the last to play the mid laner, and we can't target it no matter what. If you control less, control less, and fight directly with you.

I chose the first sister, Medusa, and TNC chose the captain.

The final lineup is as follows:

Radiant (TNC): Aircraft (Raven), Captain (Kuku), Almighty (SamH), Tiny (Tims), Elf (ryOyr).

Night Dire (PS): Fire Cat (AME), Medusa (ONE), Legion (Yang), Phoenix (Fy), Poison Dog (xNova).

The single sister in the middle, the big brother Fire Cat. This is a tactic we developed during training. In the past, AME was the real core, playing a four-guarantee-one fight routine. This time, I switched to AME as the tool player, and I started playing real core.

Poison Dog Pass, Legion T, Fire Cat Rush Formation, Phoenix Guard Formation, I just use the stance output.

The splitting of players in the lane is very conventional. The Phoenix on the inferior lane can fight against the Elf Plane, and the Fire Cat, Poison Dog on the superior lane can do everything against a single player.

Xiao Xiao naturally focused on taking care of the mid lane. Originally, it was a bit difficult for me and the captain to counterattack in the middle lane, and Xiao Xiao kept coming to squat in the lane, pushing the lane to jungle, and even acting as an escort.

Tims, a 20-year-old newly-joined player officially announced by TNC, is best at the cutting-in position 4, especially those who roam and gank frequently in the early stage, such as Xiao Xiao, Niutou, and Xiao Qiang, who are played very "cheaply" by him

”.

At 5 and a half minutes, Tims broke out halfway again and threw me back under the tower because of my careless movement. Kuku made up for the level one mark and left me under the tower.

"Help, help, do you have a T?"

xNova's Poison Dog immediately came to the rescue, but at this time the captain had just risen to six, and the limit distance to pull the boat was not enough. The Poison Dog's clearance distance was not enough, and my mana volume immediately bottomed out.

"You can go directly."

Poisonous dog.

This wave of gank poisonous dogs helped me lie down, and I actually made a profit. TNC's obvious target is to focus on the middle lane, and the all-around is put aside, and the disadvantage lane is beaten into a sieve. Although I have less CS in the middle lane.

Yes, but the hero Medusa is famous for her ability to heal, also known as "Wild Jian Chou".

The resurrected poisonous dog went to the middle lane to occupy the line. He moved in a wave and pulled the three wilds with his unique skill. I took advantage of the situation to clear the mines. After a few waves of wilds, I finally stabilized.

But Yang felt uncomfortable.

"I'm so stupid, are you playing games like this?" As Yang was talking, he was thrown into the tower by Tims again, and Phoenix had no choice but to fly over and slow him down.

Xiaoxiao couldn't find an opportunity in the middle lane and went to the offlane. Because Legion Phoenix was playing harder, he moved forward. Xiaoxiao, who happened to control the acceleration charm, stepped on his eyes. Yang couldn't retreat in time and was thrown into the tower.

The missile was killed alive.

He survived on the T, thinking that Xiaoxiao was gone, but Tims came around and killed Yang again, killing Yang again, and the legion TP died.

"Get off the road!"

Fire Cat was squatted with the line, and AME flew away unexpectedly with a mark under his feet, and quickly shouted for help. It was xNova again, he deliberately waited for Kuku to release the boat before shutting it down, allowing Fire Cat to escape the fatal damage. But Xiaoxiao

After going around again, VT took away the fire cat with remaining blood, and cooperated with the two big men to rush into the tower and kill the poisonous dog.

The early tempo was firmly controlled by TNC, but our tempo army collapsed a bit.

"Come and push it up. It's better for the fire cat Medusa to come. The Almighty T-shirt just now can't come." Leather Shoes also knew that this was not the way to go and it was time to grab the rhythm.
Chapter completed!
