Over here, after entering the game, Lucas also got a little serious.
After all, the other side was also a professional player, and also a pretty good professional player.
For race, Lucas chose the Night Elf race, and the map was a relatively fair 'Twisted Meadows (TM)'. The middle of the map had a neutral tavern where you could directly recruit heroes.
Looking at the starting point locations, Lucas himself was born in the upper right corner.
Because the starting points are random, mainly spread on the four edges of the map, so after putting down a moon well, Lucas began to explore with the newly created wisps in a clockwise direction. This is a standard routine.
In the live broadcast room, Dylan and Sean were also doing commentary.
It has to be said that although their skills are not as good as professional players, their understanding of the game and how to play it is pretty good.
"Hey... Boss Lucas over here has chosen a not-so-standard opening, building a moon well first and then a hero altar. Is he going for a neutral hero opening?" Sean was the first to notice this detail.
Because in the game, summoning a hero requires a population building, human farms, orc burrows, and for elves, it's the moon well.
Generally speaking, if summoning heroes of your own race, you basically put down the hero altar first and then the population building, because the latter takes less time to build than the former, so you can summon a hero the fastest.
"Also, Mike, look, Boss Lucas's skills are really something!"
"Clockwise scouting, found no one in the upper left corner, continuing to explore downwards, wisps directly stuck in the innermost part, providing a little bit of vision while gathering wood, not bad!"
Sean was explaining very seriously. Originally, he thought this would be a battle without any suspense, but from the current operations, everything is in order!
While controlling the wisps to scout, the operations at home didn't stop at all.
You can't see the skill level yet, but it's definitely not just a regular player.
"Hey, Brother Sean, it's no use. You need to know who Boss Lucas is facing."
"Soo, an incredibly powerful man! Two war trees, one placed next to the right side mercenary camp, what kind of operation is this! Wanting to mass produce huntresses?" Dylan, who was doing the commentary, said that he still wasn't optimistic about Lucas, but he also noticed a small operation Lucas was doing in the game.
"You can see that Soo still chose his favorite play style, single burrow fast tech."
"Although I don't want to say it, in the face of absolute strength, what tactics and operations are floating clouds. Boss Lucas is in big trouble this time." Dylan bravely made his judgment.
Lucas in the game didn't think too much. One war tree at home, and a war tree put down at the mercenary creep spot on the right.
This is also because he already had a plan on how to play this game.
The other side didn't scout him in the first time, which means the other side wasn't born in the lower right position. And he also didn't scout the other side in the upper left corner.
So the other side probably spawned in the far point of the lower left corner. Later wisp scouting also confirmed his idea. Of course, even if the location was guessed wrong, it would still be possible to cancel the war tree at the mercenary point in time.
Then, when the time came, he directly summoned a neutral unit Beastmaster from the middle tavern. After summoning a quillboar, he went directly towards the orc base in the lower right corner.
Midway, he encountered the Blademaster who was trying to level up with an orc grunt. Obviously, the other side was still using the traditional orc first-hero Blademaster build.
The Blademaster chased, and the orc grunt blocked. Even though Lucas's operations were pretty good, he was still blocked twice and took three hits from the Blademaster.
The chat logs in the live broadcast were also very lively.
'What's the situation? Shouldn't Night Elf first hero be Demon Hunter?'
'Confirmed! Orc is the strongest! You see, when Boss Lucas plays Night Elf, the first hero he recruits is Beastmaster!'
'Damn, your brain circuit is strange!'
'I'm more curious about how Boss Lucas built two war trees at the start. Is he going for huntresses? But huntresses can't beat the other side!'
'Soo's side is still building the double burrows. The beastmaster took the boars to tear them down. The three boars are so fierce!'
'The Blademaster is a little hurt this wave. He didn't even have time to level up, but it's good that he ate the quillboar's experience.'
'This harassment is a little beautiful. Boss Lucas has some skills!'
During the commentary, many players also saw some different things.
This couldn't help but make many RTS players feel a burst of surprise.
It seems that Lucas really has something!
And in the commentary channel, through the God's perspective, Sean and Dylan were also very surprised as commentators.
"Double barracks mass huntresses, doing very well in the early game, but unfortunately Boss Lucas is facing a professional player, Soo. Look, the Orc's base is already Tier 2, and the raiders have come out. He directly chose a Shaman as his second hero."
"And the Raiders' movement speed is faster than the huntresses. This means that only the Raiders can encircle and kill the huntresses, and the huntresses can't kill the Raiders. How could he lose? Soo, he's already in an invincible position!" Dylan said that as a professional commentator, he should be brave in making judgments.
The situation on the field is still relatively stalemate, but Lucas is smiling very happily, because everything is under control.
Although he is still Tier 1, his second mine has already been opened, and his economy is very good.
'Here it comes, here it comes, charging! Soo's Raiders wave! And everyone pay attention, the Raiders have siege attack type, with extra bonus to buildings.'
'Hey, Boss Lucas chose to base trade with the Beastmaster? A very smart tactic, but it's useless. He directly lost two huntresses.'
'Soo feels like he's already winning. He wins no matter how he fights. He wins head on, and he also wins by base trading.'
The commentators' performance was very professional, and Soo in the game also felt that his advantage should be quite big.
Giving a healing potion to a raider with low health, Soo prepared to save up two more raiders and then run away, but soon he found something wrong.
That is, the other side didn't choose multiple heroes, and he was still only leveling up a beastmaster, and he only produced huntresses throughout the entire game.
And this Beastmaster's level has reached a terrifying level 5.
And he had clearly wiped out almost a small squad of the opponent's huntresses before.
How come there's another squad now!?
Opened a second mine?
How many did he open!?
Having been harassed by the Beastmaster in the early game, plus single burrow fast tech, and then starting to produce Raiders.
Soo had no time to open up a second mine at all, and has always been on a single mine. Now his main mine is about to be mined out, but the other side clearly had his base torn down, but why does he still have so many units!
Not only Soo, but the audience and commentators in the live broadcast also noticed this scene through the God's perspective.
It looks like Lucas lost and suffered heavy losses in every wave, and even the main base buildings were torn apart.
But he wasn't fatally wounded at all!
Instead, the third mine appeared, and he wasn't short of money at all.
Second mine? Base?
As long as I have money, anywhere is my main base!
As for huntresses, four war trees were mass producing huntresses. After you wipe out one squad, my new squad is ready to go.
I just won't fight you head-on. If you come to tear down my home, I will trade your home. If you have the guts, don't use a Town Portal Scroll.
The more they fought, the worse Soo's economy became, and the better Lucas's economy became.
Finally, as the Beastmaster reached level 6, he directly brought a vast amount of huntresses to Soo's base and started his ultimate.
Watching countless thunder lizards ravaging his base, Soo, who was finally a little mentally broken, typed out the words GG.
"What's the situation!? Soo really lost? Night Elf, no, is Boss Lucas this powerful?" Dylan on the commentary seat had an unbelievable look on his face. He still felt a little dumbfounded even now.
And at this time, the live broadcast chat log directly exploded.
