"In today's game, we can only win, not lose."
Backstage.
When he was about to play, Abramovich said this to everyone in EDG.
Everyone knows what he means.
EDG's S-game journey this year was far more twists and turns than imagined. They lost the game on the opening day. Today they have indeed pushed themselves to the edge of the cliff.
It doesn’t mean that you will be eliminated if you lose, but it will definitely increase the probability of being eliminated infinitely.
"Today I will play a carnivorous jungler. Xiao Zhao, you guys, stay steady in the bottom lane and wait for us to set the rhythm."
Ming Kai told his teammates.
Wuhan is his hometown, so for everyone today, Wuhan Sports Center is the home court, but for him, it is the home court among home courts.
I already lost face in front of my fellow villagers yesterday, and today I can no longer let down the fans, relatives and friends who came here to watch the game.
"No problem, go ahead."
"No problem."
"Defeat SKT!"
Everyone else in EDG also knows the pressure Mingkai is under at this moment. , so they didn’t say much, cheered each other up, and strode towards the stage in front of them.
On the other side, everyone from SKT also stepped onto the stage and began to debug the equipment.
Five minutes later, as the game screen switched, today's game officially began.
In this game, EDG is on the blue side and SKT is on the red side.
This is absolutely good news for EDG.
Due to version reasons, the red side now naturally has one less ban position, and for EDG, being ahead by one ban position is already a natural advantage.
In the first round of bans, EDG decisively eliminated Chen Yiqiu, who played very well yesterday and could be called the father of SKT.
Then, as expected, Jace and Lulu were banned.
SKT on the red side eliminated Feng Nu, Xiao Cannon, and Spear of Revenge.
Xia Luo was released anyway, which made Abu's eyes light up.
“Take Xayah first and see if the other side gives Rakan.”
What he is thinking about is that if SKT wants to get a good top laner, there is a high probability that it will release the auxiliary Rakan. It can be seen from yesterday that SKT is now very dependent on which hero to choose in the top lane.
And if this is the case, EDG's bottom lane choice will undoubtedly be much more comfortable.
That's what I was thinking, but today's SKT obviously exceeded their expectations. They got the jungle prince in the first hand, and directly locked the support Luo in the second hand, forcing EDG's bottom lane to open.
"Wow... In this case, I feel that SKT is very confident. They did not go to get the top lane hero who was placed outside as before."
Seeing this, the outside world's doll Miller Several people also felt a little regretful.
"Yes, and you picked Luo as the hero alone, and now you don't get AD. If you don't get AD in the third pick, then we can go crazy and target your bottom lane. You are completely There’s no other way, which hero will you use to coordinate with Luo?”
Miller's thinking is very clear: "If SKT chooses AD as the third player, the top laner will always be targeted. This should be the worst news for SKT now."
" Sure enough... SKT still got the top laner in the third hand. "
After that, EDG first took the jungle digger and mid laner Lucian. After SKT, they directly locked in the top laner in the third hand. insect.
And this selection was completely unexpected by everyone.
"Big bug...what does SKT mean? This hero is not a carry top laner."
The European commentator was full of doubts: "Is it some black technology again?"
"Hmm... I feel like SKT may have adjusted its status today, so I can rest assured that Reaper got a stable hero?"
"It's also possible... to grab instead of ban!"
The partner next to him saw blood for a while.
SKT has not chosen the top lane yet, but there is a high probability that they will take the big bug.
It can be seen from yesterday's game that Big Bug is definitely considered a T0-level existence in the top lane of the version. It is both meaty and output, mixed and full of functionality.
Selecting the big bug gives you a great advantage even when grabbing the dragon.
Yesterday, it was Chen Yiqiu's superb performance and the poor level of Ziv on the opposite side that restrained the big bug's performance.
But it is impossible for SKT to have the same effect in every game. When it is on the red side and the ban position is obviously at a disadvantage, it is a normal idea for the top laner to bring out big bugs to replace the ban.
As one of the strongest top laners in the version, Big Bug’s role in the team and the game is self-evident, so this move is not a loss.
"But this thing depends on the ID. Reaper rarely plays big bugs, but I'm sure he can play this kind of hero well. There is no proficiency problem."
"But the weaknesses are actually very obvious. Void Fear is not a warrior top laner like Jace Qinggangying, and does not have Ca rry's ability in the game, so once this hero is selected, SKT's carrying burden in this game may be transferred to others."
"This is the most unexpected thing."< br>
Everyone nodded, in fact it is indeed the case.
The ID of Reaper has long been deeply integrated with the word Carry. SKT’s choice has broken everyone’s predictions for today’s game.
Including EDG.
"He took the big bug, which is a good thing. In this case...Mouse, what do you think?"
The ban selection entered the second round, and EDG really started to crazily target the bottom lane AD Hero, he continuously pressed down the wheel mother and the policewoman, completely eliminating Bang's plan to use popular heroes.
"...Can I carry the hero?"
A Guang's heart instantly became hot when he saw the Reaper on the opposite side picking out the big bug.
A crazy idea arises uncontrollably in my heart.
Reaper is a nightmare to all top laners in the world. In front of him, take out the carry top laner!
“Carry top laner?”
Abu and his teammates were all stunned and looked at A Guang in astonishment.
"Coach...I can do it."
Aguang pursed his lips and nodded firmly. He had been practicing in the training matches. If the opponent didn't take the bastard hero, it would be fine. Now that he had, he was very confident.
——He is terrifyingly strong now.
"Then...choose."
In fact, Abramovich is sometimes like Kkoma, willing to trust his own players and nod in agreement.
Aguang directly directed iBoy on the fourth floor and locked himself in the top laner Rambo.
"Wow!"
"Rambo! EDG has locked Rambo!"
"What's going on...are the team names of the two teams reversed today?"
In the LPL commentary booth, when they saw the unit on EDG confirming Rambo, Baby Miller and the others almost instantly climaxed, and at the same time they were a little confused.
The former even carefully looked at the distribution of team names of both teams to confirm whether the director made a mistake.
Aguang, who has always been known as the spokesperson of EDG Maokai and the biggest gangster in LPL, actually took out Rambo, but Reaper chose Big Bug.
This... no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.
"This...Mouse has become more confident! Seeing Reaper pick the big bug, my brother said something, then I will show off my carry?"
Miller said this in a suspicious tone In a word, the effect of the program was explosive, and the barrage filled the screen hahaha.
【6. 】
[EDG, please wake up, we are facing SKT! 】
【A Guang is so cowardly that he dares to pull out a Rambo in front of Chen Sheng? 】【Reverse Tiangang! 】
【Krd? ? MouseCarry has always been very strong, but in the past, EDG only required playing big trees, so there was no other way. 】
【It’s really embarrassing. As for the selection of this game, I unilaterally declare that Mouse is the winner! 】
【"courage"! 】
[Chen Sheng: Huh? Jiang Zi is playing, right? 】
【……】
The selection of EDG’s top laner set off the first wave of climax today. While the atmosphere was in full swing, the selection of players from both sides of the court had also begun. Proceed to the end.
When SKT finally selected AD Mouse, the lineups of both sides were officially determined.
They are:
SKT: top laner Big Bug, jungle prince, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Mouse + Luo.
EDG: Top laner Rambo, jungler Digger, mid laner Lucian, bottom laner Lu Xia + Braum.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed and the game starts loading.
There was an unprecedented frenzy at the Wuhan Sports Center, and the cheers shook everyone's eardrums.
——The game begins.
......
"If you don't play a first-level group with them, Lucian and Xia are stronger than us."
"Be careful and everyone will go online. Be careful not to be beaten in the early stage. The excavator set the pace, and EDG was very powerful in the training match.”
SKT’s team voice.
After entering the game, Lee Sang Hyuk began to sit in the center and direct the early tactical strategies of his teammates.
Based on the strength of the lineup, SKT’s lineup strength in this game is obviously a bit more late. Whether it is a big bug, a clockwork, or a mouse, it takes time to develop.
As long as the little peanuts in the early stage can maintain the basic rhythm and not fall behind, in the later stage, the winning rate of SKT's lineup is infinitely high.
EDG on the other side is just the opposite.
Their lineup in this game is extremely strong in the early and mid-term, and they are all representatives of the explosive carry.
This is why the outside world is surprised and why they are teasing the two teams about changing their names.
Because in the past, this kind of lineup was usually chosen by SKT. EDG did not dare to be so tough when facing SKT.
However, with the change of version, coupled with the changes in the status of the players and the style of the team, EDG on S7 has obviously abandoned its former shrinking style of play, becoming more aggressive and more keen on advantages in the early and mid-term.
"We have to keep fighting with them in the early stage of this game. They will definitely avoid the fight, but it doesn't matter, just watch my rhythm."
Ming Kai is under a lot of pressure today, but his condition is not Poor, and the confidence is actually the highest it has been in so many years.
Perhaps it was because of "reflection", but in short, he was very confident that his signature excavator could set the pace in the early stage.
“OK.”
“Go to the road and look for opportunities.”
Aguang is welcome after getting the carry hero.
“I got it, hold on tight, don’t get slapped in the face by the big bug.”
Ming Kai was still frightened by Chen Yiqiu's reverse suppression, so he reminded A Guang.
“Yeah.”
A Guang didn’t say much, and started the line with a serious expression.
At this moment, the three lines of troops are online. After the close encounter on the upper road, the battle officially begins.
But what Mingkai was worried about did not happen.
The hero's natural mechanism is there, and it's just the beginning of the game. As long as Aguang doesn't get seriously ill, it's almost impossible for Chen Yiqiu to counterattack him.
The battle on the top lane was calm for the time being, but on several other lanes, violent conflicts broke out shortly after entering the game.
The first is the middle road.
Mingkai's excavator arrived earlier than everyone expected, and the jungle route was very strange. When he arrived in the middle, Faker was not mentally prepared at all, and it was already too late when he retreated again.
Scout's Lucian was also extremely strong in the early stage. He chased after Clockwork's butt and finally flashed directly over the tower to get the head.
"First blood! Yes!! Just after the game started, EDG got the first blood in the middle!!"
"Wow...!! EDG!!"
Wuhan Sports Center first blood When the prompt sounded, it was like a boiling oil pan, exploding instantly.
The terrifying exaggeration of the noise simply surpassed all the performances in the past two days.
This is the home court advantage of EDG at home. Almost all the Wuhan audience are fans of EDG.
"Faker was a little too careless in this wave. He was caught before he could dodge. Then he would be very hurt when facing Lucian, who was strong in the early stage."
"You can't say that, it's mainly because of the factory This wave of ganking ideas is very spiritual. Peanut did not expect that the factory director would be like this. Come and gank."
Miller couldn't help but praise: "The factory director has been in a very hot state these two days."
"That's it...get on the road, get on the road. There's also a fight!"
Before the baby could finish his words, the director's camera suddenly shifted to the top road.
At this moment, Big Bug and Rambo on the top lane are not in good condition. Both of them have almost half a health line. Obviously, when everyone was paying attention to the middle lane before, several conflicts broke out on the top lane.
When the director's footage was shown, everyone saw Mouse's Rambo chasing the big bugs and burning them at the red temperature. Chen Yiqiu probably didn't have a good skill CD, so he didn't choose to fight back and kept retreating.
Crash!
The appearance of Tiangang in this scene has caused the scene to uncontrollably lose control for a short time.
“Mouse!! This wave has a chance to kill alone!! Rambo’s damage is very high now! The big bug has no skills! Can it be killed alone?! Kill the Reaper alone!!”
When the baby saw this scene, he let out a roar and got goosebumps all over his body.
At the same time.
The skill CD of Chen Yiqiu who retreated from the field has improved, and the big bug got stuck in the position of a remote soldier during the retreat.
Rambo, who was chasing him, hesitated slightly at this moment.
Chen Yiqiu flashed decisively.
There was a bang.
The big bug came directly to the side and bottom of Rambo in the opposite direction.
It’s not about escaping, it’s about dodging directly in reverse!
“He wants to kill me!”
Mouse’s eyelids twitched, and he already regretted what he had just done.
The outside world seems to be excited, but in fact, after he has consumed this wave, he should not continue to chase the big bug in depth.
But it was useless to regret at this moment. After Chen Yiqiu flashed over, he sprayed a W on Rambo. After silencing the opponent for a short time, Rambo could only suffer the long-range E skills of the surrounding minions and big bugs.
Swish, swish, swish.
Rambo's status bloodline dropped, the silence ended, and he immediately flashed to distance himself.
But as soon as he flashed, Chen Yiqiu's Q was already placed in the center of where he flashed.
"I'm gone."
A Guang took a breath and hammered the chair in frustration.
Rambo was knocked into the air. Chen Yiqiu took advantage of this time to walk over and hit Rambo twice with AA, which was almost as good as his limit to get Rambo's head.
