Chapter 40: The pressure-filled bottom lane! (13)
"Starting from the round-robin competition in different groups, the competition will continue to use versions 7.2 and 7.3." Li Mufan flipped through his phone.
It has actually been nearly ten days since this round of version updates, but the competition server has just been applied today.
In order to prevent some memory errors in the two versions, the coach took the time to sort it out again before going on the field.
The biggest impact of the update on the top lane is the weakening of the two phantom killer heroes Qinggangying and Jace.
It is worth mentioning that the weakened Qinggang Shadow is not in a state of decline; on the contrary, after stepping down from the throne of the OP hero in the version, Qinggang Shadow has broken away from the restrictions of the ban position and frequently appeared in competitions in major competitions.
The poodle is in a similar situation, but the weakening of the poodle is mechanical. From buying a house in the ban position to being ignored, it is just a version update.
Today, the Supermarket Plaza is still full of seats. The showdown between the top two teams A and B, not to mention the various bad relationships between the two teams since last year.
Although RNG was in the top eight of last year's World Championship with EDG, the two teams were also considered the best performers in the LPL; and during the winter transfer, RNG's Korean players left, and the top laners and supports they proposed were all players holding ID cards.
The management took the opportunity to market a wave of 'all-Chinese classes', which increased the club's popularity a lot.
The two teams met each other at the entrance to the players' lounge. The old people in the team were all old acquaintances. Unexpectedly, newcomer Jack and RNG's new assistant Xiao Ming also knew each other.
"Yu Wenbo!" Xiao Ming greeted with a kind smile: "You are dead!"
"Come just come! Who is afraid of who?" Jack was not afraid at all, "Tianye said that he would educate you like his predecessors!"
"Are you good at attracting hatred?" Abu came up from behind and slapped Jack on the back of the head: "Go back to the lounge and get ready. It's our turn after the first game between the Snakes and VG!"
Jack was ganked by his manager, and his face was full of dissatisfaction. However, Shi Senming was still making faces on the other side, making Jack angry to death.
The blockbuster match between RNG and EDG is scheduled for the seven o'clock slot. Coupled with the factory director's new match ID and EDG's recent winning streak, the game has not even started yet, and the barrage is already reading "Seven o'clock has arrived"!
"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2017 LPL Spring Regular Season!" The previous round of competition ended, and after a short break, the live screen was shown to the commentary box again, "Hello everyone, I am a baby!"
Prime-time games are usually arranged for the two gold medal partners, Watanabe and Miller, and today is no exception.
"Today's second matchup, the two teams are the top teams in Groups A and B! RNG and EDG!"
"Currently, both teams have ended their first round of the group cycle with a record of 5-0 victory. Their strength is among the best in the entire LPL!" Miller loudly introduced the two teams. The team's record to attract the audience in the live broadcast room.
"These two teams, it's not too much to describe them as being in full swing!" Watanabe took over his partner's words with a smile: "Both of them experienced major personnel changes during last year's transfer period. RNG's top and support players were replaced, and their junglers were replaced. Introducing substitutes; EDG made substitutions in the bottom lane, leaving only one junior in the middle, while the top and jungle sides introduced substitutes! ”
"With such a big personnel change, I originally thought they would have to go through a long running-in period, but I didn't expect that they would perform so well as soon as the regular season started!"
Miller flipped through the notebook he had prepared in advance: "Especially RNG's top laner Letme, I really found a treasure! Before the game, I didn't think anyone could compare him with looper, but since the start of the game, he has really impressed us. Very impressed! ”
"In the first five regular season games, letme played one Rambo, two Jayce, two Kled, and three Green Steel Shadows! The hero pool is very fierce! At the same time, his Phantom God top laner also played well. He is a A top laner who is both offensive and defensive! ”
If it weren't for Miller's introduction, many viewers who don't watch the game might not have thought that this is the hero pool that the top laner of the LPL can play?
【Good boy? Is RNG's top laner so powerful? Will Emperor Fan be in serious trouble? 】
[First of all, I am a neutral spectator. Didn’t EDG brag like this before they played WE last time? The result? 】
[With such a nonsensical fishing statement, I don’t even know how many levels you are involved in! 】
[The bottom lane is also very interesting. Whether Ah Shui is real water or not, we can make a conclusion in this game! 】
[As soon as deft leaves, let materials become gods in LPL, it’s hilarious! 】
The BP phase starts soon. Unlike the two rounds within the group, each of which gets the right to choose sides first, the different groups only play one round, so a coin-tossing mini-game is used to decide who chooses the side first.
This time, Abu did not continue his good luck. In the first game of the mini-game failure, RNG chose the blue side.
RNG came up to ban Li Mufan's recently hot Titan, while EDG responded by banning Mala Xiangguo's signature Spider Queen.
"RNG really wants to create room for letme to play in the top lane, and the big tree can be knocked down for you!" Wawa looked at BP and was a little surprised: "Actually, I think it is a bit unnecessary to target the top laner of the Phantom God. It is difficult for these heroes to have any advantages. , mainly relying on team battle performance! ”
"EDG is relatively simple here. The red side is still a little short of ban positions. They chose to ban Shen and Enchantress." Miller analyzed: "If they banned Shen, they actually killed Xiangguo's wild poodle. Now. The full-star W control-free effect of the version of the Lion Dog has been removed. If you don’t bring Shen with you, you will basically be in a state of no return.”
RNG's last move was to ban Mantis, which was the only hero that had been hot in the past but had not been cut in the last two versions. Moreover, Mantis was also the beneficiary of this round of armor-piercing enhancements.
"The Qinggang Shadow has been released, and RNG is going to grab it!" Wawai shouted: "After the weakening of the Qinggang Shadow, it is still a bit dangerous to pick it first! Previously, IG's top laner Duke was in the game against the old godfather. , and also show us how to use Sword Girl to counter Qinggang Shadow! But as far as I know, Brother Fan does not have the hero Sword Girl in the hero pool, so RNG is a little decisive in grabbing it!”
Nofe and Scout discussed it. Now that Enchantress is gone, Ryze still has the roaming skills, and paired with a loli-loving blind monk, the midfielder will be maxed out first.
RNG mid laner Xiaohu showed no sign of weakness and took out Syndra to rely on online suppression to prevent Scout from roaming for support.
In the third hand, RNG was given to Uzi and won the fate-playing master Jhin. With the changes to the armor-piercing armor, the armor-piercing Jhin became popular on the field again, and his ability to cause damage in the early and mid-term was far better than that of average A-level ADs.
The opponent doesn't take the jungler, which makes Nofe hesitate in choosing the third hand. He is now faced with the choice of choosing AD or staying in the top lane.
This is the case with BP. When RNG lowers the hero selection priority of Xiangguo, nofe must also choose a sacrifice between his own team and AD.
The last time he faced WE, he handed the third hand to Li Mufan's big tree. In the end, Li Mufan lived up to expectations and won the MVP; but this time was not the time. This time, EDG's heavy pressure was on the bottom lane, which put more pressure on Jack. , it is easy to break the string directly.
"Take Varus first!" Nofe decided.
Both sides took action in the second round. RNG blocked Thresh and Crocodile, who was more afraid of Qinggangying on the top lane. EDG banned two junglers, Rek'Sai and Leopard Girl.
Li Mufan's top lane was basically banned. Nofe frowned and thought about it before, so he locked the lava beast with his fourth hand.
RNG took down jungler Keg and auxiliary Malzahar.
"Brumbulon!" Meikou bit her finger: "Jhin + Grasshopper's bottom lane is disgusting. I need an assistant who can protect and control hard!" blg rush!
