Across the screen, everyone could feel the seriousness in Rookie's tone.
Even the audience was discussing in the barrage.
[This year’s finals were great to watch, and Rookie was in great shape. 】
【Not just Rookie, the entire IG is in good shape. 】
【I think Snake is dangerous. When they play RNG, it feels like only Orange God is performing. 】
[Have you not seen this year’s IG highlights? Crazy tower jump! 】
【So exaggerated? ! 】
【It’s so exaggerated! 】
The audience’s discussion has raised IG to a new level.
Soon many self-media teams caught the new focus and immediately started editing highlights of IG’s playoffs this year.
Rookie kills opponents in lane, King Ning kills solo in the jungle, and a group of people jumps over the tower.
After getting used to seeing various Korean-style operations in the LPL, the appearance of IG made all viewers shine.
Even on the day of the game, the officials were playing various playoff highlights from IG.
Snake and everyone looked at the big screen that was constantly playing in the player tunnel, and they also took a breath of air.
Brother Shengqiang wiped his cold sweat nervously.
"My mission today is very simple. Just prevent the former world champion top laner from completing an online solo kill."
As soon as these words came out, Sofm rolled his eyes.
"Speak as if you are not the world champion top laner."
Zi Zi muttered next to Su Cheng with a pale face.
“Orange, I’m so nervous, why.”
Su Cheng glanced at the gesture and spoke to comfort her.
"It's okay, you're afraid of taking risks, and this IG won't hit the road, so you can just keep developing."
He nodded sharply, but there was still a look in his eyes. Feeling a bit panicked.
There are not many opportunities to play in the playoffs this year.
In comparison, veteran top laners like Holy Spear Brother can more easily cope with the opponents they encounter in the playoffs.
But facing IG is different.
Theshy is away and Duke is on the road.
As a veteran top laner, it is difficult for Holy Spear to take advantage of Duke.
In order to seek more variables, Su Cheng discussed with Zhu Kai to make the operation more radical and bold, and first test the waters with IG in the first game.
If the effect is not good, let Brother Holy Spear stabilize the team's top lane in the second game.
All the top laners starting tonight are actually gestures.
While several people were discussing, the IG players were called out on stage and it was Snake’s turn.
The host Ren Dong, who had shown off Faker many times, began to roar in front of the stage.
“Exciting times follow.”
“Let’s welcome the winner of the 2017 World Championship, Snake!”
"Top laner, Flandre!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Holy Spear strode towards the stage.
As Ren Dong reported his ID one by one.
When Su Cheng's ID was called, the entire venue shook instantly.
Su Cheng strode out of the player tunnel and came to the center of the stage. At this moment, all eyes in the venue were focused on him alone.
The five IG people on the other side of the stage not far away all turned to look at Su Cheng.
From their eyes, Su Cheng could clearly feel a variety of emotions.
There is envy, admiration and even jealousy.
But among them, Rookie's eyes were the sharpest, and his eyes were firmly locked on him.
Su Cheng was slightly startled when he saw Rookie's serious look, then smiled and waved.
After completing these tedious processes in front of the stage, players from both sides also took their seats.
The screen is handed over to the commentary box.
There was also a lot of commentary tonight.
Veteran commentator Watanabe and Miller took the stage, and Guan Zeyuan, who has risen in LCK game commentary in the past two years, was also among them.
Three commentators make up tonight’s commentary lineup.
As soon as the camera came, the doll started to praise in the same way.
“Tonight’s ceremony is very full, especially the big drum, the thumping of the drum is very touching.”
Miller smiled but said nothing, Guan Zeyuan immediately picked up the conversation .
"Really? You think so too."
"This year's spring finals are more antique, and the uniforms on both sides are also very interesting."
"IG is dressed in white, and Snake is dressed in black. They kind of form the yin and yang of Tai Chi Bagua."
As soon as the words finished, the director just gave the perspective of the players on both sides.
IG is dressed in white on the left, and Snake is dressed in black on the right. There is a sharp contrast in the audience's field of vision.
Miller couldn't help but praise Guan Zeyuan.
"Ze Yuan's perspective is different. I didn't expect it. It really makes sense to say this."
The doll immediately entered the main body at this moment.
“To be honest, this year’s game between the two teams is definitely more exciting than in previous years.”
“On one side, Snake, who won a complete victory in the regular season, is unstoppable. The playoffs still continued the momentum of the regular season. "
"IG has also completed its evolution entering the playoffs this year. The current IG may be more difficult than what Snake encountered before."
As soon as he finished speaking, the director gave a comparison of the data of the two teams.
In many statistics, Snake ranks first and second in the league.
In terms of team kills, Snake lags behind, ranking third.
On the contrary, IG, like Snake, also won first and second place in many data.
In terms of team kills, IG in this year's playoffs firmly ranks first, with a huge gap of 7 kills per game higher than Snake.
Guan Zeyuan looked at this set of data and sighed in a very exaggerated tone.
"All I can say is that these two teams are extremely bloody, okay!"
Wawa and Miller also nodded in agreement.
After the three commentators chatted for a while, Miller said, "Let's watch the game first."
The screen also comes to the BP stage.
The players on both sides are also well prepared.
The doll looked at the scene in front of him and shouted loudly.
“The 2018 LPL Professional League, the Spring Finals officially begins.”
“Toss a coin before the game to choose the side, IG chooses the blue side, Snake the red side.”
"Let's look at the BP of both sides first."
Compared to the last round when the two teams faced other opponents, they took longer to BP.
But the two teams wanted to meet, and the BP speed became very fast.
There is no other reason. The main reason is that the players on both sides really know each other too well.
Blue side IG banned people in the first three hands.
Rock bird, pig girl, card.
Red side Snake bans people in the first three songs.
Zach, Bron, Lowe.
After the third move was completed, the blue side IG quickly grabbed the sword demon.
As this year’s highly offensive top lane hero, IG’s usage rate of Sword Demon is not low.
Guan Zeyuan frowned as he looked at the candidates on the screen.
“IG is very decisive in selecting players. They seem to have made preparations before the game.”
"This first game is more like a test of the waters for both teams."
"Let's take a look at Snake's selection."
Baby looked at the screen and spoke in a tone of voice There was a bit of hesitation.
"Is Sword Demon top laner? There is still Urgot available here. Look at the appearance of playing in the finals, will you choose Urgot?"
In Snake's moment After much hesitation, he decisively chose his last two heroes.
A captain in one hand and an ox head in the other.
Get the top lane anti-pressure support and bottom lane team-starting heroes directly.
Seeing this scene, Miller was also slightly surprised.
"Captain?!"
"This is a choice I didn't expect. I thought Snake would get more heroes who can be stable in the lane."
"In this case, Snake seems to be ready to take the stance to a solo game." The doll also echoed next to him.
"As far as I know, the attitude captain's proficiency has always been good."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the attitude should be able to perform well."< br>
However, they didn’t give everyone much chance to react.
IG quickly locked in the heroes they wanted on the second and third floors.
Urgot in one hand and wine barrel in the other, everyone was stunned.
Even Snake's posture suddenly changed in the player's seat.
“Trouble! Make a fool of yourself!”
“The ultimate shameless crab on the order!”
"I'm going to beat you up!"
Even Zhu Kairen was dumbfounded.
He had every intention of doing BP here, but he never guessed that his opponent, Sword Demon, would take the middle route and produce an Urgot on his backhand.
The main problem is.
Urgot's top laner is naturally Captain Count.
Even if the stance side wants to suppress Urgot severely, they still have to worry about being killed directly by Urgot at level 6.
Su Cheng frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him.
There is no doubt that this is the style of Pinnacle IG.
There are no front rows to start multiple groups, and it is a powerful hero choice for small group battles.
This kind of IG, not to mention frontal 5v5, or even 3v5 team battles, a group of them would dare to do it for you twice.
"Sword Demon in the mid lane?"
Su Cheng looked at the sharp look from Rookie not far away, and his fighting spirit doubled.
"Although it is difficult to fight, it is not impossible to deal with."
When it was the turn of the subsequent rounds of selection, Snake was obviously much more cautious.
In the third hand, choose Han Bing to supplement the ability to start a team, and at the same time, ban players in the subsequent two hands to continue targeting the bottom lane.
Banning Xia and Jin will leave IG with not many bottom lane options.
IG continues to target the jungle.
The prince and Olaf were directly sent to the ban position.
In the fourth hand, Snake chose a mantis, which shocked everyone present.
“The mantis operated by Sofm?!”
Wawa explained to everyone in a surprised tone: "Sofm has played this hero before. I can only say that the effect is surprisingly good, but the problem is that everyone has taught me how to choose Snake to start a team in the bottom lane!"
Miller also analyzed calmly.
"I feel that the styles of the two teams in the first game are very similar."
"The style of IG in the playoffs here is mainly a midfielder."
“Snake may choose people like this because he wants to have a head-on confrontation with IG.”
Guan Zeyuan nodded in agreement and gave his own opinion.
“I think there is nothing wrong with Snake’s choice.”
“The previous Korean-style teams were all destroyed by IG.”
“Change. Maybe I can give it a try with IG’s style of play.”
Both sides focused all their pressure on the midfield and the jungle, which also made the audience gasp.
The barrages in the live broadcast room continued to flow.
【Holy shit! This game is too bloody! 】
【The selection of Ueno and Nakano on both sides is just one word, do it! 】
【It’s a pure fight choice, Sofm also fought hard, and the mantis even took out it! 】
【Sofm’s mantis, I can only say it’s very cool, it invades the wild area like crazy. 】
[King Ning is going to have a hard time with this. It’s not easy to fight the mantis in the wine barrel jungle. 】
【I feel like IG’s bottom lane should be supplemented by tools. 】
【It’s hard to say, Orange God hasn’t chosen anyone yet. 】
【Ah? Ah Shui has grown up? ! 】
【What does this mean! 】
While everyone was talking, IG directly took out Draven with their fourth hand.
In the fifth move, Baolan directly took out the crow.
The entire IG has put together three options for everyone to fight.
Brother Crystal watched Ah Shui take out Draven, and his expression became a little ugly.
“Damn it! Is this IG bar crazy? Does she want to play against us?!”
"I'm so stressed out, coward!"
"Why should I hit you?!"
Hudie also shook his head helplessly.
Although the bottom lane of Han Bing + Niutou is very strong, it is still a bit weak when facing a pure laning and non-teamfighting combination like Draven + Crow.
There is basically no need to say more about this. In addition to the full pressure on the top lane, the bottom lane is also full of pressure.
As the head coach, Zhu Kai's expression also became very ugly.
He stood behind Su Cheng and asked proactively.
"Orange God, what are you playing at?"
Su Cheng glanced at Zhu Kai and guessed that this guy was at his wits end.
IG’s crazy selection is definitely unique in the history of LOL.
It can be said that all three lines require lane advantage, regardless of the effect of team battles. Team battles depend entirely on the players' personal operations.
Only IG can create this style.
The good news is that Snake is not weak in teamfighting.
The bad news is that Snake's three lanes basically have no laning advantage.
The most important thing is that this thing is like an infinite loop.
You have no lane rights in all three lanes, so even if the jungler is slightly disadvantaged, he can still gain a huge advantage in the jungle.
Snake only had a sporadic advantage in the jungle position, which also destroyed IG on both sides.
Only the last hand is left without selection.
In the commentary box, the three commentators also began to discuss.
“This team cannot be a chopper team, otherwise in the mid-term, Crab and Sword Demon will have to replenish their armor a little, and the output in frontal battles will definitely be limited.”
Wawa was the first to come to a conclusion.
Guan Zeyuan was also complaining crazily on the sidelines.
“The main thing I think is the Sword Demon. In our LPL, only the Orange God used it in that game, and he basically never appeared in the playoffs.”
“The LCK next door is no longer available. A must-choice land exists.”
“Although this hero’s mid lane push is slow, it’s really difficult to beat this hero as a regular AP hero. It can’t be consumed. He can also cooperate with the jungler to kill you with his backhand. ”
"The most important thing is that the Sword Demon's single-kill ability is not weak."
Many Snake fans in the audience were very worried. They looked at Su Cheng in the picture with a little more worry in their eyes.
Su Cheng also looked at the hero list, looking for a hero who could restrain the sword demon.
But heroes who are good at fighting Sword Demons, such as Crocodile and Sword Queen, are basically AD warrior heroes.
After the Snake lineup was selected, it became the Chopper team.
This game is different from the one against RNG. Playing against IG alone is tantamount to courting death.
So the soldier’s choice of video recording was directly rejected by Su Cheng.
Although the remaining Enchantress and Xiaofa seem to have some advantages in the lane.
But the fault tolerance rate of Sword Demon's sixth-level ultimate move is too high, and it is extremely difficult to complete a single kill online.
The range of heroes that can be chosen has been compressed again.
At this moment, in the commentary box, the three commentators also began to help Su Cheng think of ideas.
“How do I feel about the plane?!”
The doll was the first to speak and think of ideas.
“Long hands, high output, and no shortage of AP damage.”
“And in the plane laning, you only need to develop. In the later stage, the opponent will not be able to withstand the double shooters here. Output.”
Miller vetoed it.
“Airplanes are not good.”
“The linkage efficiency with the midfielder of Mantis is too poor.”
“If Orange God takes the plane, Sofm Mantis will have a hard time in the early stage.”( End of chapter)
