Chapter 91: Won the Major, and Now a System?

The effect of 【apEX's Sniper Manual】 is to boost the Sniper's state when motivated, and the original name of the hero Sniper is indeed Sniper.

The talent improves the operator's state, which is to say, things like reaction speed and operational sensitivity.

It doesn't count as overpowered, but it is useful enough.

This means that as long as Jiaoyang uses Sniper, he can more consistently bring out the upper limit of the hero Sniper.

The commentators are not wrong; this lineup has significant flaws. Once the Sniper is jumped on, it is very difficult for the other few heroes to protect him.

But from the very beginning, Jiaoyang never thought about fighting a positional battle.

As long as the time is compressed and converted into a push-oriented system, it will be fine.

The high-speed support of Ember Spirit and Nature's Prophet, the stable initiation of Batrider, and the follow-up control of Lion.

On the surface, Jiaoyang is just lying back and leeching damage, with the tempo entirely dictated by his teammates.

It's just that from the audience's perspective, everything is different—his Sniper's suppression in the lane left the opponent's Sand King with zero tempo, and Liquid finds it very difficult to initiate small-scale team fights relying on a Sand King who has nothing.

Liquid is very anxious now—

VG's tempo is slowly picking up; MinD-ContRoL (MC)'s Enigma has no room to farm. Enigma is not like Broodmother, who has high health and runs fast; he is just a squishy target, easily toyed with by Ember Spirit.

Plus, Ember Spirit is truly too much of a counter to little spiders and little Enigmas. After buying Maelstrom, one Sleight of Fist makes these derivatives disappear with low health. The key is that when casting Sleight of Fist, the cooldown of Sleight of Fist is reduced, which means as long as there are many derivatives, Ember Spirit can directly use infinite Sleight of Fist. Added with the bonus damage from Maelstrom, the output is terrifying.

Now, Ember Spirit has started to roam, sweeping everywhere in coordination with Nature's Prophet.

They must regain their tempo; if things continue like this, the match will turn into a one-sided slaughter by VG.

Lineup? A lineup also needs to be supported by Economy!

Their side is said to be easy to play, but the point of it being easy actually lies in how easy it is to kill the Sniper, directly evaporating the opponent's main carry and causing sustained attrition.

But now, VG's Economy is clearly better. When the time comes, relying on the power of items, those flaws of the Sniper being easy to kill will be compensated for.

"GH, smoke up and go find the Sniper!" Miracle- looked at Jiaoyang's item value, which had already far exceeded his own, and realized they could no longer continue to farm against each other. As Monkey King, he had to take the lead in tempo.

GH is the Sand King; it took him 20 minutes to finally scrape together a Blink Dagger. Even so, getting a key item is a good thing.

The offensive ward placed earlier came into use; Ori's Sniper was standing blankly under the tier-two tower clearing the creep wave.

GH glanced at the map; Ember Spirit was alone in the bottom lane pushing the tier-two tower.

Lion was strolling in his own jungle, and Nature's Prophet was known to be in the top lane.

There was only a Batrider in the middle lane, posing no threat to anyone. Monkey King jumped into the trees, Broodmother stepped on her webs, and the two approached at high speed.

A signal, Sand King Burrowstrike!

Boom—

In an instant, golden light erupted from the Sniper's body, and his figure grew slightly larger.

Avatar!

Gained spell immunity status!

GH was terrified in his heart; where did that come from?

However, at the edge of the sandstorm, a little donkey was slowly moving away~

Damn! The courier just delivered it!

Realizing something was wrong, Monkey King and Broodmother immediately sold out Sand King and retreated directly.

It's just that VG didn't seem to agree with Liquid's retreat plan. Seeing Jiaoyang activate his BKB, Lion changed his TP, which was originally intended for the high ground, to the tier-two tower.

And Zhang Jun's Ember Spirit reacted with astonishing speed; his Remnant had already dashed into Monkey King's face.

Nature's Prophet's Sprout also slowly rose up.

Retreat? Did they think about how the Batrider, whose butt was on fire from traversing terrain, felt about that?

Liquid's predicament of being besieged on all sides didn't even last ten seconds before several of their main carries returned to the fountain together.

20 minutes, 8k gold lead, VG controlled the Aegis and pulled down all outer towers.

Jiaoyang and Zhang Jun both completed Daedalus at 35 minutes, controlled the Aegis again, and pushed Liquid flat.

The soundproof booth was opened, and as they took off their headsets, the familiar voice of the commentator rang out—"Let us congratulate VG on a 3:0 victory over Liquid! Successfully winning the 2019 Paris Disney Major Champion!"

"This is also the second Major Champion they have won this year!"

"This championship can be called a shot in the arm! It completely shattered those voices of doubt."

"The expressions of the VG players on camera this time are slightly plain."

"Haha, maybe they are already used to it! I hope they can continue to get used to it!"

"Wait, I feel like Jiaoyang looks a bit dazed?"

After a slight daze, the smile at the corners of Jiaoyang's mouth was very obvious, which looked even more eerie on camera.

【Is Jiaoyang crazy?】

【Ah! It's done! I've hit it! Haha.】

【Damn, Brother Jiao, surely not? It's just a Major Champion, it's not like he hasn't won one before.】

Perhaps sensing that everyone's gaze toward him was a bit strange, Jiaoyang pretended that nothing had happened, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the air—

【Detected increase in Major trophy value】

【Triggering system update】

【As time passes, with your help, CNCS has once again won a Major trophy like a dream. As a reward, the system will open new functions.】

【Loading new functions for you————】

【Loading complete】

Loading complete? And then?

He checked the system panel and inventory.

There were no changes; the talents and items were all there as they should be, and the corresponding values had not changed either.

For a moment, he was at a loss.

"What are you spacing out for?"

Ding Yu leaned over as soon as he finished playing; he was in a great mood now, Jiaoyang hadn't left the Dota 2 division, and they had even won the championship together.

"Yeah, Jiaoyang, what the hell are you spacing out for? Those guys from Liquid are still waiting for a hug," Yang Hai urged.

Just like the handshake ritual in CS, the winners on the Dota 2 side also had to take the initiative to greet the losers, whether by hugging or bumping shoulders.

Originally, this was meant to embody the sportsmanship of "friendship first, competition second," but coming from Yang Hai's mouth, it turned into mockery.

"Alright, coming."

The players from Liquid were already standing at the front of the stage, their expressions not very good.

They had considered failure, but they hadn't considered failing 3-0.

This meant that they hadn't shaken VG's tactics at all throughout this best-of-five; compared to this defeat, they were more worried about Ti9.

Although the version would change, it currently seemed that VG's ability to read the version could not be underestimated.

Take the Sniper for example; it appeared a total of 6 times throughout the knockout stage, and only the one VG brought out in the final game won.

This perhaps indicated that VG had hidden too many unexpected things to deal with different versions.

"You have studied us very thoroughly."

When bumping shoulders with Jiaoyang, the Liquid Coach muttered something in German-accented English, not caring in the slightest whether Jiaoyang understood.

Jiaoyang smiled and replied in Chinese: "Actually, I didn't study you at all."

The German Coach realized that Jiaoyang had understood his words, but what had Jiaoyang said?

Just as he wanted to ask, the organizer's staff walked over and asked him to leave the stage.
