As the group stage of the Champions Dragon Cup draws to a close, EP and eStar currently occupy the top of the table with an absolute point advantage, which means that the two teams will lock in the qualification for the final four double-defeat matches. However, according to the current schedule, although EP and eStar occupy the top of the table, in the course of the game, the two teams gradually fell into the opponent's defensive tactics.
[EP successively enters overtime, the state may be in a downturn]
In the matches that have now ended, eps have played against AG, WE and EDG respectively, with EP drawing 1-1 with AG and beating WE and EDG 2-0. If you look at the results alone, it is clear that the EP once again reflects the strength of the T1 level team. However, from the specific score, it is clear that EP's ability to dominate has declined.
In the process of EP and AG, when playing the camp of defenders, not only did not establish a point difference advantage, but it lagged behind AG by 1 point, which also became the foreshadowing of the first game map AG to beat EP. In the second game, AG took the match point from the EP first, fortunately, the timely adjustment of the last two sets of the EP finally dragged the AG into overtime, and in the subsequent overtime, the EP relied on the outbreak of Mo Bai and others to win.
Ep and WE, originally thought that after EP established a 3-point difference in the first half of Desert Ash, entering the second half as a defender will continue to widen the point difference. When the EP won the match point, we counterattacked in two consecutive sets, eventually dragging the EP into extra time. Although EP directly defeated WE in 2 consecutive rounds in overtime, through the performance of WE and EP in the second set, the state of Beizhi Big Dream and Mo Bai was sluggish, making it difficult for EP to complete a crushing victory when facing WE.
【eStar consecutive losses in the first half】
eStar is currently playing against BS, XROCK and Q9 respectively, and the win in the 6-game game has prompted eStar to score 6 points to top the table. However, in the fight between eStar and Q9, the first half was continuously targeted by opponents to score points, which also highlighted that eStar needs to make certain adjustments.
Whether it's the first map black town or the second map submarine, eStar had a hard time breaking the Q9 defense when acting as a lurker. Especially in the second map submarine, eStar's multiple attacks were unfavorable, resulting in Q9 scoring 5 points in a row. Fortunately, eStar powered in the second half, if eStar's second half state continued to be sluggish, then it would not be able to take points from Q9.
Through the confrontation between eStar and Q9, when eStar met the new lineup of Q9 with the original team, it did not show the absolute advantage of eStar, which shows that eStar needs to further improve the tactical mobility of the team when acting as a lurker, so as to achieve a multi-dimensional breakthrough. For eStar, in addition to ensuring the play of the dingdang cat, other players also need to adjust their personal state, otherwise relying solely on the dingdang cat is very likely to fall into the opponent's defensive rhythm.
Whether it is EP or eStar, although the two teams are currently at the top of the group standings, it is clear that other teams have gradually found the tactical direction to deal with these two strong opponents. For EP and eStar, they need to be adjusted according to the current shortcomings to enhance the competitiveness of the team.
