Mislykket kinesiske lag, Team Secret fortsett å trekke i The International 2022: Last Chance Qualifier
Maksym ShylovThe first 4 matches of the final day of the group stage of The International 2022: Last Chance Qualifier have ended. The best teams from all over the world that failed to qualify for the World Championship continue to fight in bo2 matches. Which teams have strengthened their standings in the standings? And who has less and less chance of getting into the upper bracket of the playoffs? Let's figure it out.
Team Secret vs. Polaris Esports
The confrontation between one of the most eminent teams in Europe and representatives of Southeast Asia began quite equally. In the 11th minute, Polaris Esports were leading by less than 1,000 gold, and the score on the map was 5:4 in their favor. In terms of farming, the leader was also not identified, none of the heroes particularly stood out in terms of the amount of gold earned. In the 17th minute, Puppey and his teammates killed Roshan. Implementation of Aegis of Immortal Crystallis failed, the player died 2 times without any idea not far from the enemy T3. In the 31st minute, Polaris Esports broke Secret's central line. The Filipinos also broke T3 and the bot lane barracks. Polaris took the lead 25:14 and had a 13,000 lead in total value. In 34 minutes, Polaris Esports players forced Puppey to write “gg” in the chat.
Team Secret decided to experiment with the draft for the second map. Enigma for Puppey and Enchantress for Resolut1on are not the most standard hero picks in 2022. Polaris Esports get their first kill in the 3rd minute, sending Puppey under the fountain. Crystallis makes an embarrassing mistake twice on Morphling. Using the agility boost, the Dutch player was killed first by a Clockwerk missile and then by a kobold he dug up with a shovel. At the 15th minute, the score was 8:7 in favor of Team Secret, but the Filipinos were leading by 7,000 gold. 10 minutes later, Team Secret kill 4 enemy heroes, losing only Zayac on Earthshaker. Kunkka of the Polaris team survived only thanks to BKB. Zayac kills 2 couriers near the opponent's secret shop in the 27th minute, the Filipinos make a mistake worthy of a candidate for The International. At the 33rd minute, the score was 24:15 in favor of Puppey and the team. At the 39th Team Secret, an extremely successful fight is held, killing 6 opponents and forcing them to make ransoms, after which the players of the European team took another Roshan. On the 44th Secret, they destroy all 3 lines of the opponent, kill all Polaris heroes and draw the match with a score of 43:17.
Team Secret 1:1 Polaris Esports
T1 vs Xtreme Gaming
Despite slightly outperforming the overall cost, T1's more aggressive pick allowed for 6 kills while only dying once in the first 10 minutes of the first map. The core players of Whitemon and the team were ahead of their opponents in terms of gold and generally looked more confident than the Chinese club Xtreme Gaming. The trend has continued. The former OG players who joined T1's roster showed great individual performance. The team confidently farmed and systematically hunted the opponent's heroes. T1 in the 24th minute were leading the map with a score of 22:6, having an advantage of 8,000 gold.
Xtreme Gaming failed to realize their heroes, and Broodmother, played by old eLeVeN, was in the middle of the list in terms of farming. At the 35th minute, T1 were leading on the map with a score of 30:9. It is worth noting that Paparazi灬, the XG midlaner, was able to return to the game, equaling the opponent's cores in terms of farming. T1 killed Roshan in the 49th minute, Whitemon and his teammates had over 21,000 refarms. 10 minutes later, the Xtreme Gaming players die without ransom and decide to give up. The result on the map is 50:17 in favor of T1. Topson is in very good shape.
T1 decided not to slow down on the second map, killing 7 enemy heroes in 8 minutes, while dying only once. Ana in the 9th minute solo kills the opponent's Specter under the tower on the bottom lane. The players showed extremely aggressive performance. Xtreme Gaming began to play cautiously, avoiding fights and focusing on farming creeps. At the 24th minute, the score was 18:11 in favor of T1, and the team also had a 3,000 advantage. The Chinese gradually tried to correct the situation, but ana and Topson are playing extremely well. 36 minutes was enough for T1 to beat the Chinese opponents.
T1 2:0 Xtreme Gaming
Nouns vs Vici Gaming
Nouns had a good start on the first map. The duel was marked by a large number of fights. Both teams were going quite well in terms of kills, but Vici Gaming were leading in terms of gold. At the 29th minute, the players of the American team kill 4 heroes of the opponent and almost completely neutralized the advantage of VG. At the 34th minute, the score was 17:22 in favor of nouns, which looked extremely competitive compared to Vici Gaming. Nouns managed to demolish all buildings on Vici Gaming's highground except for one barrack. At the 50th minute, nouns lost an important fight using a series of buyouts. But this did not prevent them from gaining the upper hand with a score of 34:45 on a protracted map that lasted 55 minutes.
In the first 13 minutes, the second map of the leader in terms of total value did not appear. Nouns took down two T1 towers in the top and mid lane, and the result on the map was 7:5 in their favor. At the 27th minute, nouns were in the lead with a score of 16:11, but the Chinese retained an advantage of 2,000 gold. The American club seized the initiative on the map and controlled the opponent's forest with a 6,000 lead in the 38th minute. On the 49th nouns started breaking the Vici Gaming high ground with the Aegis of Immortal in their hands. At the 57th minute, nouns, having 2 cheeses and Aegis, went to the opponent's base to finish the game. Vici Gaming wrote 2 cherished letters in the chat a minute later. Nouns sensationally double the result in the series with a score of 36:20.
nouns 2:0 Vici Gaming
Wildcard Gaming vs Team Liquid
Wildcard Gaming maintained a slight lead for 27 minutes, although they were behind in kills. However, after the 28th minute, Team Liquid took the lead and won the first map with a score of 34:17 after 33 minutes. It is worth noting the performance of miCKe, who played on Invoker with a statistic of 13-2-12.
Team Liquid had an extremely confident second map. The team broke the top and bottom lines of the opponent already in the 26th minute, leading with a score of 32:11, which was enough to defeat the opponent.
Wildcard Gaming 0:2 Team Liquid
