Half a night without sleep.
Just close my eyes and dream of being pulled off the bed by a mammoth, and when I woke up, I opened the quilt and saw that it was full of mammoths, in short, a thousand words converged into one sentence:
Why not ban mammoths!
I believe that everyone who surfs the Internet today should have seen this meme, this looking quite broken harmonic stem, but not from the proud work of a talk show player, but from an embarrassing e-sports competition.
As the world's highest-prize money esports competition, the annual Dota2 International (TI) is a gala event for esports enthusiasts. For TI10, which has been saved for two years due to the postponement of the epidemic, the exaggerated prize pool of $4,000W is enough to ignite the passion of players around the world.
In the former Dota arena, China has always maintained a leading position. However, the royal power has no eternity, and the rise of foreign teams has broken the curse of even-numbered years of victory in TI8, and the OG of TI9 has achieved unprecedented consecutive championships. But this year, the hot LGD and IG have the image of champions, TI's tenth anniversary, countless players have their hearts in mind, it is time for us to raise the shield.
However, in the TI10 International Invitational Tournament that ended in the early morning of October 18, the unknown CIS team Team Spirit created the biggest dark horse myth. This CIS second brother, nicknamed Sprite, not only hand blade big brother VP, in the subsequent competition is getting stronger and stronger, all the way to the top, the loser group all the way to the OG, the loss of the secret, and finally with LGD to fight in the final, successfully won the championship.
Like the Liquid of TI7, or for players in the CIS division, this is their Wings.
After the Water Man Wave Heights, the Mammoth became the new Ptsd of the CN Turret, and even in a sense, the trauma of this time was more serious than before, after all, the TI8 was at least a top-level strength collision regardless of whether it won or lost, although we would shout "LGD is invincible", or "hard power champion" and the like, but in the face of the OG at that time, a sentence was not as good as a person, and it was not unspeakable to bow to the wind.
But now in the face of this inexplicable loss of Sprite, it is really difficult to settle. Sprite's comprehensive ability is not the strongest, but the one-handed mammoth in the third position is really the best, and the one-handed jumping knife + topsicle has been tried and tested, and the various giants have been topped all the way to the airport. However, in the face of such a fierce and unique brother, LGD's coach Xiao8 does not seem to understand what respect is.
Jumping knife to find someone, coupled with the new skill long-horned projectile after equipping the Ahalim Magic Crystal to pick the opponent behind, the three-skill giant horn collision will push the opposite hero into his own crowd to set fire and kill, and the one hand will make it pure fire. However, in the face of a player who can only have a three-plate axe in the relative hero spoon, the coach does not limit it again and again in BP, and I really don't know whether it is self-confidence or arrogance.
The first two innings let the mammoth fiasco be taken by the other side first, the third and fourth innings raised their eyebrows and breathed out, I thought that the second game of the BP came out to make people tremble, I do not understand, everyone does not understand, in the most crucial battlefield, facing the other side's unique mammoth king, even reluctant to a Ban position? Even though the Mammoth was defended by a single-handed Rabik in the third inning, what does it mean to remain head-iron in the fifth inning when Rabik was banned? And even if the mammoth is thrown aside, the tiebreaker LGD takes a zero-acting fawn in the case of a serious lack of control, which is really confusing.
In stark contrast to Sprite's BP, LGD's powerful hero, The Great Sage, The Tinkerer, the Corpse King, to the back of none, the professional attitude is high.
Transferred from a message from a certain elder brother, this LGD game, as if the goddess of the soul has just shown all the brilliance, the next morning let you watch her face to face by the video of the NTR. Then when you are desperate, she tells you that it is all fake, and that she still has you in her heart. But when you are happy to pick her up, suddenly she rolls her eyes and smiles to tell you that everything is the master's task, and she likes it now...
The winner's final, which was replenished for Xiao SeXianbei, finally spat out a complete mess in this ugly final innings.
After TI8, in the face of the whole network's accusations against Ame Waterman, Maybe explained afterwards that the counterattack was a unanimous decision made by the whole team, not a temporary decision of the Water people. And after this game, in the face of the player's accusations against xiao8, LGD3 bit xinQ also stood up and said that losing the game was not played at the usual level, everyone's mentality was wrong, bp was discussed by everyone, the loss was not simply because of mammoths, TS's number three position played well There are many heroes and so on.
But it seems that the crowd does not buy it, because this result is too weird, and now the Internet is full of remarks about club fake matches, many players feel suspicious of the game, and even the ex-wife of coach Xiao8 has exposed his past scandals. The truth is still unclear, but no matter what the outcome, this criminal BP, I think everyone should know who should be responsible.
However, two years ago, five years ago, in the "League of Legends" arena, the LOL division of LGD also made all players shout out the roar of "why not ban iron man", but today is different from the past, when the ban position was not enough, and now it is the head iron.
Uplink: three iron male LGD, lower link: four to mammoth PSG, horizontal batch: do not believe in evil.
Another year without a crown, five years without a crown, LGD for three consecutive years of the hope of the whole village, but for three consecutive years on the field, two Asian and one season, the champion shield is within reach, but it is separated by a barrier. After the LGD change after TI9, only Xiao Ser stayed, paid for his hard work, played the game to open the BKB tower, and was jokingly called by the water friends that he seemed to have lost something, but this time, he lost something again.
I don't know how many old players are staying up late after getting a family and work, waiting for a result, from TI1 to TI10, life can have several decades. There is no new blood flowing in, the team players are not picking up, coupled with the domestic game ban, the weakening of the WEST' CN Dota, it is too urgent to need a champion to turn the tide. Presumably, whenever I miss the glory of the CN Turret in the future, TI6 will be full of tears after that, and I can only turn out Wings again and look back at the morning when the red ribbon fluttered. It's been another year, Sadser.
