On the main stage of tonight's event, Dylan was really starting to doubt himself at this moment.
"Mike, it's not too late to admit you're wrong. Your predictions are a bit off!" Sean added fuel to the fire on the main stage, also expressing his surprise.
He was clearly amazed that humans and night elves could play like this.
"This shouldn't be happening!" Dylan was also frustrated. He felt like what he said should have made perfect sense, but why were the results always the opposite of what he thought?
"Mike, do you admit that Boss Lucas is a master now?" Sean pressed him for an answer.
"Look, I've always admitted that Boss Lucas is a great WarCraft player, but as I said before, Boss Lucas's detailed control is still different from professional players." Dylan still insisted that his view wouldn't change.
"Hey, but the player who's playing this time is interesting. If it were before, I would definitely think that Jaden would win, but now it's different."
"To be honest, I know Jaden privately, and we have a good relationship. But I still want to say that Jaden is definitely weak compared to others. I think Soo and Satellite lost to Boss Lucas not because of skill, but because of tactics. But now I just want to say that even if Boss Lucas has new tactics, it might not be easy for Jaden." Dylan sighed deeply.
"Mike, are you saying Jaden might lose?" Sean asked.
"Fifty-fifty, they both have a good chance. Although I think Jaden is weak, I still think his overall strength is stronger than Boss Lucas." Dylan changed his opinion back and forth this time.
At this point, they entered the game.
The map is TR, which is not very friendly to orcs.
Because the big monsters on the map are turtles, and melee attacks will cause extra damage in return.
It's just average for the undead.
After saying hello at the start, Jaden immediately used a worker to scout.
Even though this game is not night elf or human, who knows what the undead might do.
But Jaden quickly noticed one thing: Lucas was actually using a standard opening.
First graveyard, then crypt, then dark altar and spirit tower.
It's different from before!
Also, the undead can't really use a quick expansion strategy, because everyone agrees that the undead are strongest with a single base.
At the same time, the undead can't really use any flanking tactics. Generally speaking, their strongest wave is when they reach tier three. They directly sell all the buildings they can sell at home, like mines and graveyards, and create a 100-population army to attack. They either win or lose.
Although he was puzzled, Jaden still followed his own development plan step by step.
On the other side, Lucas was using a typical undead strategy, starting with the death knight.
However, the ghouls produced by the barracks were only used for gathering wood. The main units produced later were spiders.
He took the spiders to attack the small monsters nearby.
Lucas controlled the death knight to level up, using hit-and-run tactics against the monsters. It was harmless and efficient.
After clearing them, he reached level two.
He put skill points into Death Coil and Unholy Aura, which was a normal build.
Along the way, Lucas also encountered the orc blademaster who was also leveling up.
He was chased and hit a few times, but with Unholy Aura, he had health regeneration and increased movement speed.
The blademaster and orc footmen were too slow to catch up, so the opponent stopped chasing and went back to continue developing.
Lucas also continued to level up, and there were already three ghouls gathering wood at home.
The base was about to start upgrading to tier two.
At home, the spirit tower was upgraded to a frost tower early on, and the buildings were placed carefully to prevent the orc blademaster from harassing.
The early game was peaceful, with both sides developing and not harassing each other.
This was a basic development strategy, but it surprised many players and commentators.
After all, before, both the night elf's wild expansion and the human's fire lord tower were quite annoying tactics.
But now the undead were playing it safe!
.........
"Boss Lucas is playing a standard development strategy with the undead this game?" Dylan was a bit bored. He thought Lucas would come up with something new this time.
"Is he going to play a normal development game? Then Jaden is solid! The wolf riders have already been produced, and Ensnare has also been learned." Dylan analyzed the situation on the field.
"Mike, are you already making a prediction!?" Sean simply repeated what was happening on the field and didn't make any 'professional' analyses like Dylan.
"Of course! Boss Lucas seems to be going with spiders. He probably worried about the turtle monster's damage return when leveling up, but there are also many disadvantages. Jaden's wolf riders are already formed, and they are so fast that even the death knight's aura can't keep up!"
"Also, there was a brief test of strength before. Although there were no losses, you can see that Boss Lucas's raw skill is still a bit lacking!" Dylan analyzed simply.
"Oh! Boss Lucas isn't getting a lich? He didn't put a point into Frost Nova at level one, but chose armor? Doesn't that make him even less able to kill heroes?" Dylan noticed something different.
In the game, Lucas leveled up the death knight for a while after reaching tier two, but didn't take the second hero, the lich, out to share experience.
So at this point, the death knight had already reached level three, with two points in Death Coil and one in Unholy Aura. The opposing blademaster was only level two, and Lucas already had five spiders at home.
Next, Lucas directly chose to upgrade the spider's attack technology.
Dylan was a bit surprised by Lucas's actions.
Generally speaking, the undead's second hero is most likely the lich.
But they usually learn the first skill, Frost Nova.
Because this is the skill in Warcraft with the highest burst damage.
Combined with the death knight's Death Coil, the opposing hero loses about three or four hundred health, which is almost enough to kill them without any items.
But now why did Lucas have the lich learn Frost Armor?
This puzzled Dylan.
"It must be Boss Lucas's strategy. Jaden might be in trouble!" Sean said from the side.
"That's impossible. Jaden has two more wolf riders, and the blademaster's item drops are also good. The key is that the lich's skill build makes it impossible to kill heroes." Dylan analyzed the situation on the field.
"They're about to fight! Jaden is very aggressive! The wolf riders have already moved up, charge, charge, charge!" Dylan analyzed the situation on the field.
In the game, Jaden's forces encountered Lucas's forces near the tavern in the middle of the map.
Originally, he was planning to get another treasure to get the blademaster to level 4, and then train a kodo beast before testing the attack.
But when he saw the opponent's forces at this time, Jaden changed his strategy and decided to attack directly.
Because he felt that he was very strong now, and the wolf riders had already formed an encirclement.
Tier two is a very strong time for the orcs, even though the wolf riders' attack type is siege, which is a disadvantage to a certain extent.
But they have the Ensnare skill, which instantly kills a spider in one round, and they might not even be able to burrow away.
As Jaden attacked, the audience and the commentators became excited.
"Boss Lucas, huge disadvantage!"
The blademaster charged up and used Blade Storm, dealing almost half of the spider's health.
"Boss Lucas, looking pale!"
The next moment, the wolf rider's Ensnare was cast on the spider, controlling it.
"Boss Lucas, poor formation!"
The death knight charged alone into the wolf rider's formation.
"Boss Lucas, fighting and retreating!"
The ice armor on the death knight, who had lost half his health, was about to disappear. At this point, he started retreating slightly.
"Boss Lucas, stuck between a rock and a hard place!"
At this moment, a Death Coil instantly healed the spider, and an ice armor was placed on the attacked spider.
"Boss Lucas, being attacked by the blademaster!"
The wolf riders' attacks barely dealt any damage to the ice armor. The only damage came from the orc footmen, the blademaster's attacks, and the tauren's Shockwave.
But after the attack, all units were slowed down, and their movements were as slow as dancing.
"Boss Lucas, a round of focused fire!"
At this time, with the help of the death knight's Unholy Aura, the remaining spiders instantly moved away and started firing at the orc footmen, who posed a threat to the spiders.
The wolf riders surrounded the spiders to attack, but they didn't lose health at all under the effect of the ice armor.
Moreover, with the death knight's Unholy Aura, the spiders' speed was not slower than the wolf riders'.
"Boss Lucas, he won!" Sean described everything that was happening on the field.
Dylan on the side was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn't it a great situation?
"What's going on? Ice Armor combined with attack spiders is so powerful!?" Dylan couldn't help but ask.
He saw Lucas controlling the spiders in the game, dividing them into three small teams, turning around to fire, and then instantly pulling away.
The death knight's Death Coil combined with the level two lich's Frost Nova instantly killed a wolf rider.
At the same time, the death knight used an instant health potion, and with the ice armor, charged into the orc forces and kept chasing and attacking the orc soldiers.
The battle situation completely reversed!
Because Jaden had sold the town portal scroll in the shop to buy Boots of Speed, he couldn't even use a town portal scroll to keep his forces together. The spiders' speed, with the help of the Unholy Aura, was not slower than the wolf riders'.
A round of focused fire and a skill meant death for one unit. He was even chased back to his base.
The situation was gone. Jaden typed GG.
In the RTS chat group, the professional players watching the game were also surprised.
"This spider system is something! The spiders' turning speed and movement speed are slow, but with the death knight's Unholy Aura as a support, their mobility becomes very high."
"Yeah, the only orc units that spiders are afraid of are wind riders and wolf riders, but with Ice Armor for defense and slowing the enemy, wolf riders are no longer a threat, and they can kite the orc footmen at will."
"Yeah, focused fire is useless because the death knight's Death Coil heals them, and the spiders can also burrow to save themselves."
"So that's how the undead can play against orcs!"
"But the orcs can also play it. They just need to see the opponent using a lot of spiders and prepare to build kodo beasts and wind riders."
