On September 5, the official Microblog of the LGD team announced the retirement news about LGD team member MMY (Lei Zengrong), and MMY himself expressed his hope to take a six-month break before considering whether to continue playing professionally.
MMY Lei Zengrong 2009 to 2016 DOTA player career review
preface
Dancing teenager and dumb uncle, domineering Zhongdan and conscientious assistance, all of this is always difficult to associate, just like in the Dota killing all sides of the world, he seems to be out of place with the taciturn in life. His former ID was called dai, and now it is called MMY. He is the title of the four major titles in China: Tinker - X!!
From 2009 to 2016, seven years passed in a flash, he played Carri, acted as a solo, and also did assistants, he did not have any lace and rarely opened live broadcasts, many times, he was quietly holding snacks and silently playing DOTA.
Seven years, he dedicated his youth to DOTA, from a dancing teenager to a slightly sluggish uncle today, there have been glories and lows, in his 29-year-old year, mmy decided to rest for half a year, and then consider whether to continue his career, or retire.
Shy genius teenager
Like many later professional gods, Dai before his debut was also a well-known Shinzo player, and the inozou team composed of him and ZSMJ and others was invincible in the Shinsan tournament and broke through to great fame, and his Zhuge and Sima were the first at that time. Later, as Shinzo gradually declined, Dai also started his career with other players moving to Dota.
In June 2009, Fantuan.dai officially joined Ehome as a Professional Dota player and played in the luxurious Ehome at the time, Carry, who quickly got into shape after a short period of pain, and won the WCG 2009 China championship in August of that year. Subsequently Burn joined, Dai officially turned 1 to 2, and Ehome completed the final puzzle of the Ten Crowns.
Perhaps because of the frequent practice of the Chinese law in the Zhensan period, Dai after the transformation of the second position has a more brilliant performance in this position, although he was not the top single on the line at that time, but in terms of the ability to bring rhythm, no one can stand out.
In 2010, DOTA reached its peak in China, and various professional teams emerged in an endless stream, but in many competitions, Ehome won 10 consecutive championships, and the king's posture was unmistakable. Among them, Ehome and LGD led by 09 have several encounters, the scene is classic, known by players as "Daddy and Mom Wars", and Dai's middle road duel with 09 and YYF is a good story by players.
In 2011, in the transfer earthquake that turbulent the entire Chinese Dota circle, Ehome's personnel changed several times, and Dai firmly occupied the middle of Ehome with his stable play, during those two years, his blue cat and tinkerer gained wide acclaim, especially his soul ring tinker led a wave of trends, made great contributions to Ehome in the international arena, and won the runner-up of the TI1 International Invitational Tournament. Under the appeal of the majority of players, in the DotA 6.74 version in early 12 years, Ice Frog named Tinker after Dai, which was also the third Chinese Dota player in China to receive this honor after Pis and 820.
CN DOTA's Ethereal Assist
The highlights of the first International Tournament did not allow Ehome to last long, and the retirement of legendary captain 820 once again caused the team that had struggled to hold out once again. After a brief absence, the Ehome foursome returned with the Perfect Cat to prepare for TI2.
This time the team also made Dai's life change. Since the other three people in the EHOME team except 357 can only play Big Brother, Dai gave up his familiar number two position and transformed the auxiliary. Since then, his hero has changed from the Blue Cat TinkerEr Musket to the Elf, Ryan, and Rabik, but even with the help of transformation, Dai's light cannot be hidden.
On TI2, the combination of Dai and Lanm's elf Tiny shocked the world, defeating Zenith, who was known as the strongest in the world at the time, and also showing the pair of heroes who later became familiar to everyone. Dai was also the first player to use elves on the TI stage.
At the end of 2013, DK announced its restructuring after TI3, bringing in MMY's former partners Guoshi Peerless and Southeast Asian Gemini Mushi Sanbing. THE OLD PARTNER'S MMY HAS REGAINED ITS SECOND SPRING IN THE AUXILIARY POSITION, HIS ELVES ARE EVERYWHERE, HIS RYAN, RABIK, AND EVEN WHEN HE HITS THE HEAD, HE WILL TAKE OUT MIPO TO DO THINGS. In the 9th season of starladder in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, the DK team won nine games and won all nine victories. At that time, his double soy sauce combination with the land was known as the strongest four or five at that time.
Legendary Captain 820 once commented that "Dai's career prospects are unlimited, as long as he changes his overly introverted personality, he can become the leader of the next EHOME.". Whether it is the middle single or later auxiliary of the Ehome period, throughout the highlights of MMY's career, the team without exception has a team brain like 820 and Homeland, and when the team lacks a commander, MMY's play is greatly reduced, which is not unrelated to his introverted personality. Despite his talent, the introverted and shy MMY has never been a good team leader.
Gifted juvenile and elderly assisted
In 2014, the fifth year of his career, after leaving the Galaxy, MMY did not choose to retire or rest like his two former teammates, but chose to come to LGD. He said in the interview that he felt he could still fight, and he still wanted to fight. So came to LGD, became maybe side escort of the dedicated little assistant, once he was a genius teenager, and at that time he watched the new genius teenager rising, his playing style is less ethereal, more stable, he was once a genius, and was replaced by today's genius teenager.
In the 2015 TI5 Invitational Tournament, MMY followed LGD all the way to the final of the loser group, and finally lost EG and won the third place in this competition, which is also the closest time to assist MMY to the Immortal Shield. In this competition, cdec won the second place, the best result for the Chinese team.
Rest or retire?
CdEC's success in the International Invitational Tournament shocked China's DOTA, people gradually realized the decline in the status of veterans and the importance of newcomers, in the painful period of the replacement of the old and the new, MMY ushered in the youngest partner of his career, but should have been hesitant to show his ambitions, but was blocked by a paper visa out of the door of TI. As he watched the equally young Wings hold the Immortal Shield, he felt, Maybe he's really old?
Veteran MMY
People will be blessed in middle age, which is the dilemma of many Chinese men, from 2009 to 2016, the years have not spared the duck.
After entering the DK and then to the later LGD, gluttony plus the otaku's MMY is becoming more and more out of shape, his nickname is more and more, duck grandpa, fat duck, when MMY meets snacks, a generation of e-sports male gods reduced to a stumbling uncle, which is overwhelming.
"Most Loved by Female Fans"
Although the body is getting blessed, MMY is still the favorite of many female fans. Teammate Sanbing once said bluntly, "Female fans, are looking for MMY", which shows that even if the body is a bit out of shape, the charm of Dai God is still undiminished.
"Veterans don't die"
Today's MMY has entered middle age, as a few years of veterans, introverted he rarely has black spots, he has not opened a Taobao store, and even the time for live broadcasting is very small, he is just a simple DOTAER, concentrating on playing DOTA in his own way. However, his years-long career has also made him a little tired, and he says he wants to rest.
Seven years is a long time, and our genius teenagers will one day gradually fade into nothingness. We've teased him with his stature, teased him with swans and the like, but that's no longer important. Once upon a time, you and I have shouted for him, raised our arms and shouted, and that is enough.
Veterans don't die, they just die out.
