Okay, here is my story about the match between LGD and AR.
So, I’ve been following the Dota 2 scene for a while now, and let me tell you, the rivalry between LGD and AR is something else. It’s like, these two teams always bring their A-game when they face each other. I remember this one time, it was during The International 2023, and they were battling it out in the upper bracket of the playoffs. Man, that match was intense! Everyone was on the edge of their seats.
Recently, I heard about their match in the DreamLeague Season 22, the China Upper Bracket, I think Round 3 and I knew I had to see it. I cleared my schedule, and I told my friends that I am not gonna miss this for the world. I made sure I was home before the start time which was January 14, 2024, at 12:00 PM. I got my snacks ready, turned off my phone’s notifications, and sat down on my couch, all set to watch the action unfold.
The casters were hyping it up, talking about the strategies and the players. I really love these casters. I was just soaking it all in. Then I saw another match of them in ESL One Birmingham 2024, they are at the Closed Qualifier, Lower Bracket, Round 4 on January 30, 2024, at 04:04 AM. I marked on my calendar to watch this match. It was quite early, but I can manage that.
As the match started, I could feel the tension in the air. Both teams were playing really well, but I noticed that AR started strong in the first game. They were all over LGD, securing kills and objectives left and right. I was like, “Whoa, AR is really bringing it today!” But LGD, being the experienced team they are, managed to turn things around in the second game. Their coordination was on point, and they started to dominate the map.
Here’s how it went down in my notebook:
- Game 1: AR took the lead. Their aggressive plays were just too much for LGD.
- Game 2: LGD came back strong. Their team fights were insane.
- Game 3: This was the decider. Both teams were neck and neck, but in the end, AR made some crucial mistakes, and LGD capitalized on them.
DreamLeague Season 22:
- Game 1: LGD dominated this match. Their strategy was too good.
- Game 2: AR tried to make a comeback. But LGD outplayed them.
ESL One Birmingham 2024:
I was scribbling notes like a madman, trying to keep track of all the action. I noticed that AR’s drafts were a bit off in the third game, and they paid the price for it. LGD’s draft, on the other hand, was perfect for their playstyle. They had the right heroes to counter AR’s lineup, and it showed in the game. LGD’s team cohesion was too good in the ESL One Birmingham 2024, AR can’t make a comeback.
In the end, LGD won both matches. It was a hard-fought victory, and I was just in awe of their performance. I mean, these guys are seriously good. I updated my blog with all the details, sharing my thoughts and analysis. I even had a little debate with some of my readers in the comments section about the turning points of the match. It was all good fun, though. Someone commented that casters should give AR default loss so they can start the Team Spirit vs LGD series early. I laughed so hard after reading this.
That’s the story of how I followed the LGD vs. AR match. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, but that’s what makes Dota 2 so exciting, right? You never know what’s going to happen until the very end. This experience is amazing. I can’t wait for the next big match!
