"Yes...EDG is in very good condition today. They are trying their best to save the situation for the second round of the group stage."
Miller looked at the close-up of the players on the big screen on the field and said sincerely: "Just As Tian Ye said himself, EDG is now completing its own self-salvation.”
“It’s very good, really good”
“I want true happiness...to win this final game of EDG’s S competition”
Remember to nod lightly: "Whether 2/3 can become 3/3 will determine whether EDG can complete the group stage this year. Although we won the first two games,...this battle with SKT , is the battle that can break the inner demons and determine the outcome."
"Why is it called a decisive battle?"
"In the first round of the group stage, EDG was the winner. With a huge economic advantage of nearly 12,000, they were successfully overturned by SKT."
Miller said: "Looking at Meiko's post-game interview just now, EDG also wants to complete its revenge... Let We are looking forward to EDG’s performance today and the emergence of a miracle.”
After saying this, the director’s camera switched and the audience was excited.
The game begins.
Enter the BP interface.
This game is very important for EDG, and luck seems to be on their side. They got a very comfortable blue side, with one more ban position than SKT.
As soon as they entered the BP interface, EDG killed Jace, Sword Girl and Qinggangying.
The third-hand ban was very decisive. Although many strong versions were released, even Lulu Fengnu was released, but when facing SKT with Reaper, doing so seemed to be EDG's fault. the optimal solution.
The three heroes they pressed all symbolized that SKT would win as soon as they got it.
"What does this ban person say..."
"I can only say that EDG really wants to win now."
"Yes, they really want to win. ”
Several LPL commentators looked at each other and shook their heads.
On the other hand, compared to EDG, SKT's bans are much more normal. They basically ban based on the strength of the version and the heroes that EDG is currently hot on.
Press down Feng Nu, Xiao Pao, and Spear of Revenge respectively.
The first round of bans ended, and the blue side’s EDG grabbed the released Lulu.
As the only god in the current Incense Burner version, the winning rate of the team with Lulu is significantly higher than that of the team without Lulu.
So as soon as this hero was confirmed, the entire Wuhan Sports Center fell into a carnival.
The Chinese home audience did not hesitate to encourage and applaud EDG.
“They took Lulu, let’s grab Syndra.”
SKT was well prepared for this.
Although I have to admit, this year's EDG is indeed excellent in the early game, and overall it is better than SKT.
So this time the SKT coaching staff wanted to seize the early stage. They deliberately released Lulu on the ban player, which was a multiple-choice question for EDG.
If you take Lulu, then I will grab a lane dominator. If not, then even better, I will directly lock down the lane.
In fact, EDG also understands this kind of BP plan that is almost a conspiracy, but there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, only the trade-offs and strengths of both parties.
In the end, SKT got the lane tyrant Syndra + AD Policewoman.
Two popular versions + very strong heroes in the lane.
“Looking at it this way, SKT’s thinking in this game is a little different from before.”
Seeing this scene, Wawa couldn't help but said: "After the start of this year's group stage, the lineup they chose has always been more biased towards the mid-to-late team battle lineup, and Reaper even brought out a big bug."
"But this game against EDG, I feel I think they have been prepared. Once Syndra and Policewoman are taken away, there will be fewer heroes for us to choose.”
“Yes, SKT wants to play with EDG in the early game. They are in this game. Want a quick fix?"
Remember to squint your eyes.
On the court, after EDG saw SKT's first two picks, they were bragging if they said they were not panicking.
But as the saying goes, they have come and are already sitting in this position. No emotions or mental fluctuations can stop their determination to win.
Because of this battle, they can only win, not lose.
Otherwise, when the game is over, they can pack up and go home.
This time, we were right at home. We didn’t even need to take a plane. Mingkai could even take a taxi home directly.
“Don’t worry about them, let’s take out the bottom lane first, otherwise they will definitely target Xiao Zhao crazily in the second round.”
The coach stood behind him, holding a small notebook, and gave instructions.
EDG first got the AD wheel mother, and then after hesitation, they finally chose the jungle prince.
This is also a hot spot in the version. Looking at SKT’s current lineup, we can’t give it to them anymore.
It was SKT’s third hand, and they also got the jungler Lee Sin.
The first round of selection for both sides is over, and the lineup has taken shape.
"Looking at it now, our mid-to-top picks have not yet been determined. SKT... is very focused on these two lines. Anyway, just don't pick Lucian."
The second round of bans, SKT's undetermined picks for EDG Two lines are targeted, and EDG also has a similar number of paths.
The doll said unprofessionally, "Just don't choose Lucian", which caused everyone in the scene to laugh.
After this period of time, EDG's third selection of Lucian kneeling three times in a row has become a hot topic, and the team's mid laner Scout has been criticized a lot for this.
But in fact, anyone who has carefully studied those three games knows that the best performer in the EDG team is Lucian, and the early advantage is basically based on the middle.
Of course, Lu San’s reputation as a kneeling figure is too loud, so it doesn’t hurt to use it as a joke occasionally.
While everyone was talking, they were paying attention to the selection of the two teams.
EDG on the blue side was the first to determine their lineup. In the end, they selected Big Bug and Clockwork in the middle and top respectively.
SKT got the auxiliary Fan Ma.
The last unit in hand was saved until the end, but it was actually a bit unnecessary.
Because the hero Big Bug has been tested in the first round of the group stage and has been recognized as the most versatile hero, it is difficult to effectively target him.
And Reaper's hero has been banned a lot this time, so which one to choose is a problem.
"...What do you want to play?"
At times like this, Kkoma always shows his subjective initiative, that is, he takes the initiative to ask the players what they want to play.
Of course this is not a treatment that everyone has. Currently, only Faker and Chen Yiqiu in the SKT team have this treatment.
"There are not many good heroes out there, it's really hard..."
Chen Yiqiu himself was a little confused. He looked at the team name of the opposite team EDG, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
——"How about him."
"Huh?"
Kkoma and other teammates were startled when they heard this, and then they all became happy.
"It's okay, but if you choose this way, aren't you afraid that the other side will bully you?"
"No, I'm more popular than all of them in the LPL."
Chen Yiqiu is bragging. He said something that made everyone's mouth twitch.
You are popular and justified.
"Let him do that. In fact, he is quite suitable for our lineup. If he plays well in the early stage, he can basically end the game."
In the end, Kkoma made the final decision, and SKT locked in its top unit choice.
A rich baritone voice sounded.
——"Everyone is mortal, and some people need a little help."
"I will personally destroy all EDG's fantasies and dreams."
Lancer Lucian. "Oh~~!"
"Reaper????"
"This..."
"Lance Ranger! Reaper has locked on the Paladin! Shouldn't it be the bottom lane? Saint Gun Ranger hasn’t appeared in the bottom lane for a long time!”
“It’s Reaper’s signature Lucian top laner!”
...
"Hey! What do you mean! Chen Yiqiu, what do you mean!"
LPL commentary seat.
The moment they saw Lucian being locked, the CPUs of Doll Miller and others were already dry-burned.
A few people looked at each other, and they all saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
"Lucian? Are you...having such a mentality? You didn't just show off your skills, you just locked them up. You know how to play psychological warfare, Reaper!"
In desperation, he just called out Chen Yiqiu's name. At this moment, the baby made up for it and said: "This move... is not impossible."
"That's not right..."
Miller has already reacted: "This hero...man, when I choose this hero, I feel that we are too weak in the early stage."
EDG chose a late-game hero in this game The lineup, their double C clockwork and wheel mother are the kind of output machines that require a long period of development before they can stand out.
Top laner Da Chongzi is a purely functional blue-collar hero.
In other words, EDG completely changed their previous style when they played SKT today. As soon as Clockwork and Wheel Mother were selected, someone in the LPL barrage already said that they would send it.
After seeing Chen Yiqiu's hand on Lucian, everyone's scalp went numb instantly.
【It’s over! 】
【Congratulations to EDG for achieving the 58th achievement in the same city! What? You ask why it is Wuba Tongcheng? There are two 8s in the top 16, so they are from the same city! 】
【Nothing wrong. 】
【Good boy, this Lucian, with this move, Aguang must not be killed on the road? 】
【No, isn't Lucian just choosing this as a gift? EDG picked three times and died three times. SKT did this on purpose! 】
【Are there really cloud players? 】
【The dog is so proud. In this year's S competition, did anyone selected by Lucian win? 】
[Chen Sheng is working hard! ! 】
【"Serving the Country with Loyalty"】
【Chen Sheng - Loyal! ! ! 】
【……】
All kinds of comments are flying in the barrage. Most of the viewers watching the game actually don’t care about the strength of your hero. They only care about the hero’s previous winning rate and performance. Commonly known as impression flow.
It just so happens that Lucian is a hero who has a very poor impression among viewers in all LPL regions at the moment.
Didn’t you see that Lu Sanqiu’s nickname came out? It's enough to prove everything.
So after Chen Yiqiu was selected, there were endless comments about "serving the country with loyalty" and "lurking in SKT for two years and finally taking action".
……
The noise at the scene gradually increased, accompanied by the passionate BGM of the start of the game in the venue.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed and the game screen starts to load.
In the EDG team.
“What the hell, are you too crazy?”
Staring at the game screen, Meiko was the first to explode. He felt that SKT’s move was shining in the faces of everyone in EDG. beat.
"Lucian...has a bit of a mentality."
Hu Xianzhao smacked his lips, and said in the tone of a young adult: "Chen Yiqiu has really let himself go now."
"Brothers, don't be like this, whoever chooses this hero loses, isn't this just right? Well, if they choose and then lose to us, we can advance.”
Aguang is as optimistic as ever, and he encourages his teammates and tries his best to liven up the current atmosphere in the team.
"...It doesn't matter. What Chen Yiqiu wants may be our current reaction and effect. You don't have to worry about him. If he dares to choose, I will arrest him."
Ming Kai said thoughtfully. : "In short, we must win against SKT today. Only in this way can we have a future, understand?"
"Understood."
"You don't need to say more about this."
"Don't worry Mingkai, I have won two games, I will definitely win them all today."
The teammates agreed one after another, and the atmosphere in the EDG team recovered a lot.
"Then follow me to the bottom lane to set up a ward position. Everyone, pay attention to your positioning and don't be fooled by SKT. We are not as strong as them in the early stage of this game."
Entering Summoner's Canyon, everyone in EDG bought their starting gear and went to the lower half of the river together to make eye positions.
Their research and preparation are very effective. SKT really intends to play a first-level team this time.
Because in terms of fault tolerance, the current SKT is obviously stronger than EDG.
From a mental point of view, SKT is in the most relaxed state now, because their current points have basically guaranteed promotion, and their lives are not as hanging by a thread as EDG.
This is also the advantage of playing well in the first round of the group stage. If you dig too hard a hole for yourself in the first round, in the second round you will naturally be in a life-or-death situation. If you are not careful, you may It is about to change from a life and death battle to Wuhan Railway Station.
"Hey, the position opposite is too cautious."
"There is an eye here, it saw me."
Li Zaiwan said in surprise: "It smells like Samsung. Haha.”
“EDG is known as Little Samsung, you know.”
Chen Yiqiu said happily: “They actually changed their style of play in this year’s S game. In fact, it wasn’t always like this. A style? ”
"Yes, EDG is very good at playing the kind of operations in our division, so everyone still has to cheer up and take this game seriously."
Lee Sang Hyuk never forgets to instill serious concepts into his teammates, making everyone happy. After listening to the words, I was no longer in BB immediately.
"Then if there is no chance, I will go online normally."
Both sides did not get anything very good in the first confrontation, and everything was uneventful. Chen Yiqiu asked a question.
“Yes.”
"You go."
"Okay."
Chen Yiqiu nodded, and after returning to the city, he walked towards the upper route and said, "Wait for my good news."
"If you can't defeat the opponent in five minutes, I suggest you don't play Lucian in the future."
Pei Junzhi commented: "Don't taint my Brother Lu!"
Chen Yiqiu: "?"
"I don't know whether it will tarnish you, Brother Lu, but if I use Lucian to hit you in the bottom lane, it must be pinched with both hands."
Chen Yiqiu said: "If you have a chance, try more and see how strong you are."
"Oh...are you so fierce?"
Bot laner Pei Junzhi didn't reply, because bottom laner Pei Junzhi had already started fighting as soon as they met.
Chen Yiqiu turned around and was about to speak when he saw that his condition was also declining.
"Mouse has changed his gender. How dare you fight me like this?" (End of Chapter)
