Chapter 154: Go all out and face your inner demons!
"Are you too passive?!"
Miller looked hesitant, "If you hand over the initiative to BP, SKT will not play hide-and-seek with you. They will definitely grab the male lead!"
The difference between the BP in this game and the first game is that in the first game, SKT gave it to the higher priority top laner Kenan, and then EDG played Galio. From then on, SKT's BP was already being pushed by EDG. Walk along.
In the end, there was no room for the male gun to appear.
But the second round was different. EDG conservatively took Braum in the first hand, and SKT could completely use the male gun system.
Before MSI even started, Xiaohuahua had already made a name for himself in the LCK with his wild core male gun.
Not to mention that with the advancement of MSI, more and more male guns are appearing on the field, and SKT has also studied more about the advantages and disadvantages of male guns.
Today's SKT is definitely better at researching the men's gun system than before!
"Take, take, take! Lock up the man's gun!" The dunking coach took action decisively!
In the last match against EDG in the group stage, Kuma did not hesitate to switch off the male gun because he did not want to expose too much.
"The red side got the man's gun so easily?" Little Peanut was a little proud.
"Our Time Leopard Girl system is still somewhat useful. It not only allows the opponent to contribute a fixed ban position of Leopard Girl, but also makes EDG dare not play the male gun first!" Kuma practiced the Leopard Girl Time System in advance for his group stage, Very comfortable with the good results achieved.
Although his words were a bit boastful, he was absolutely right. Although Nofe knocked down Leopard Girl, he was still afraid that SKT had hidden tricks, so he didn't dare to take the male gun first!
By the way, SKT also locked up Lulu in the second move, making it a swing choice that can win or assist.
"Han Bing or Lucian?" the factory director asked.
"From a functional point of view, Han Bing has the ability to open maps and have big moves to win prizes. The male spearman is a hero who needs to make small moves in the jungle, and Han Bing has certain restraints on him; from the perspective of hero coordination, Lucian and Braum are explosive. Stronger, Braum's passive can be released faster in small team battles."
nofe shrugged: "So why can't we take both?"
The factory director was startled, and then he understood: "One swing to the middle, right? I understand!"
nofe has always prepared two ways to deal with the male gun. One is to use Clockwork to fight the male gun in the late stage, and the other is to use mid laner Lucian to fight the male gun!
Don't look at the fact that the male gun has a passive pure man stacking armor attribute, which seems to be very restrained by Lucian; in fact, except for the male gun that can maintain a high level of pure man passive when clearing the jungle, it is very likely that the male gun does not have any passive when invading or being countered in the wild. !
To put it simply, the male gun's passive restraint is the physical output jungler in the jungle. If Lucian in the mid lane position goes to support the jungle, can you also stack the passive first and then capture it?
The male gun's strong pulling ability in the face of melee junglers can only be said to pale in comparison to Lucian.
"Lucian and Han Bing!" the doll said in an exaggerated tone: "EDG chooses two AD heroes! Judging from the previous games, this Lucian is most likely to take the middle route!"
"EDG is going to attack in the early and mid-term!"
Guan Zeyuan carefully studied this hero after EDG took out the mid laner Lucian once, and found that as an AD mid laner, his early and mid-term strength is not inferior to that of Jayce, and he can even be said to be Jayce's replacement!
"How will SKT deal with EDG's mid laner Lucian?!"
Kuuma frowned, completely losing the composure he had half a minute ago!
"Lucian? This will put a lot of pressure on our midfielder!" Wolf, as an assistant, has a very good overall view, and he can see the strength of Lucian's lineup at a glance.
"I'm not afraid of him!" Little Peanut was holding a cup of quick-packed ice cola, slightly dissatisfied with his assistant's statement.
"This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but a question of whether you can beat 2V2!" Wolf shook his head. Little Peanut is just too young. The setback Little Peanut suffered in the World Championship last year is not a setback at all.
After playing five games with SKT and narrowly losing, ROX was recognized by everyone when they left the game.
But this is what Wolf is most worried about about Little Peanut. He is too confident, so confident that he is a bit arrogant!
This is what a person who has never lost is like this.
But Wolf has lost, more than once, including the 2015 MSI loss to EDG. Even the jungler and support sitting on the opponent's seat are still the same two people back then.
This made Wolf play very cautiously.
"I think you were too careful!" Little Peanut said with a smile, with an innocent look on his childish face: "Don't worry, I will help you in the jungle when I get the advantage!"
Wolf swallowed the rest of his words.
He knew that it was useless to talk more. There were some walls that he had to hit once before he would know the pain.
The buckle was a moment of thought, and he felt that at this time he had to trust his team members.
Lulu is very powerful in the snowball game, and she can complete a double carry with the male gunner without the need for kills; but in a 2V2 in a balanced game, Lulu will definitely have a huge gap in combat effectiveness with Lucian.
Now that the opponent has revealed his mid laner, Kuaima decides to fight back.
"What about Snake? Or Syndra!"
These two heroes cannot be said to be completely counterattacking when facing Lucian, but with the strength of the current version of the heroes, they are still capable of facing Lucian, and they cannot be said to be as miserable as other mages who were suppressed.
Moreover, Snake Girl can also be regarded as a hero that Faker is very good at, and his proficiency can also give him extra points!
faker squinted his eyes and glanced at EDG's first three lineups, "Snake, it's not easy for Syndra to play against Braum in team battles!"
"Oh? When SKT saw mid laner Lucian, they immediately moved Lulu to support!" Miller said in surprise: "They chose a snake girl for Brother Li to fight with EDG!"
"Brother Li's snake girl has something to say!"
"Why do you think he has no explanation as a mage?" Guan Zeyuan laughed: "The big devil is kidding you. At least half of the heroes in the middle are his unique skills!"
"It all depends on the operation. Junior Scout's evasion of Snake's ground binding and ultimate move. If Faker's skills have a high hit rate, Snake may be stronger!"
"But Lucian is better because of his high burst, and Snake is good at high sustained damage. There is still a difference between the two!"
Entering the second round of BP, SKT began to target the factory director. Naturally, it was impossible to release Rek'Sai, and then banned the Titan, limiting the linkage between EDG's top, middle and jungle trio.
For EDG, bang who has not yet chosen a hero is their target.
Varus and EZ, these two heroes who are very skilled in banging, press them all.
"Qinggangying?!"
As the red side of SKT selected the fourth hero first, the three people on the commentary table suddenly exclaimed!
"SKT snatched away a very powerful character in the top lane in the second round, and he is also Brother Fan's latest signature hero! They selected Qinggang Shadow for huni!"
"Fangmen Ninggying?" The doll made a puzzled voice: "SKT is still playing tricks when it is lagging behind, right?! As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. We all can see the proficiency of Brother Qinggangying, which is said to be the best in today's profession. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Qinggangying is the best in the league, then he must have his own research on how to beat Qinggangying!”
"That's right!" Miller echoed: "The choice of Qinggangying doesn't make sense. SKT only considered the strength of the top, middle and jungle, and selected a hero who is a warrior and has strong retention methods, making up for the male gun and snake. Women have a disadvantage in retaining people, but they ignored Brother Fan’s familiarity with Qinggang Shadow. This man’s Qinggang Shadow is terrifyingly powerful!”
Li Mufan himself never expected that the Qinggang Shadow he operated would receive such high praise from the commentators. He was now staring directly at the opponent's hero selection, thinking about how to deal with it.
This is not to say that Qinggang Shadow is too strong and it is difficult for him to come up with countermeasures. On the contrary, this version of Qinggang Shadow has been weakened repeatedly, and its laning strength has been greatly reduced.
Although the sideband can still put a lot of pressure after it is formed in the later stage, in the early laning stage, any warrior hero with a good temper can stand on top of Qinggang Shadow.
What Li Mufan is more troubled about is, should he choose a hero like Shen who is more conservative and has single-band ability in the later stage?
Or use a character like Crocodile who is invincible online and can almost kill Qinggangying at the same level, but is much weaker than Qinggangying in the later stage?
To be honest, there are so many heroes to choose from that it’s hard to choose!
"They took Qinggangying. Indeed, it is too late for SKT to stop now. They must continue to strengthen their top half. Qinggangying is a good choice. The ability to retain players first is quite good!"
nofe looked at SKT's fourth pick and commented. He turned to Li Mufan: "What do you want to get on the road? My idea is that it is best to fight. This game in the middle and jungle is destined to be uneventful!"
< br>
Li Mufan tossed the warm baby in his hand, still hesitating.
If you want to fight, Crocodile is easier to use than Shen, but the problem with Crocodile is that once he fails to do something during his strong period, his peak period will pass very quickly, especially when facing Qinggang Ying's growth curve. For heroes who are steeper in the later stage, the offensive pressure of the crocodile is still a bit high.
If you want to play GAM or Flash Wolves, then Li Mufan will be your choice!
But the opponent is SKT, and there is no guarantee that they will not use their special skill-operations to delay the Crocodile's strong period.
"Are there any heroes who can kill Qinggang Ying in the early, middle and late stages?" Li Mufan murmured to himself while sliding the mouse, his eyes roaming over the hero's avatar.
Suddenly, his eyes paused and locked on the portrait of a heroine.
The heroic short hair dances in the wind, and the sword in his hand is sharp!
The moment Li Mufan saw the avatar of this hero, his mind went back to the distant S5. At that time, this hero had just been reworked, and as a top laner, Li Mufan naturally practiced a lot.
With her fairly good game understanding and operation level, this female hero once became IG’s magic weapon to win in the LPL!
As a result, when it came to the World Championship, Li Mufan discovered that the level of the LPL was so great compared to other regions. The hero he was proud of could be said to be broken in front of those star top laners!
After failing in S5, Li Mufan sealed him into the hero pool. He only practiced regularly in ranked games to maintain his feel and never used it in competitions.
However, now his various attributes are even better than those at his peak. Li Mufan knows very well that if he performs again, he will definitely perform better than before.
Want to take it?
If it had been half a month ago, Li Mufan would definitely choose crocodile.
The crocodile is not too unbearable. He can take on the role of carrying the lead in the early stage and leave the late stage to his trusted teammates.
But seeing smeb lock in without hesitation when facing huni, and seeing huni use this hero to carry the team in the semi-finals, Li Mufan understood that if he didn't win a game, he would lose his mentality as a top top laner.
He was communicating quickly with Nofe, who approved his hero selection proposal almost instantly.
"I believe in you, Mu Fan! Take it, I will give the factory director a hero that can work well with you. You will not choose a male jungler like KT who can't help you in the whole game!" Nofe patted his chest to signal. Li Mufan believed in his BP.
"You can't choose even if you want to!" Jack tutted: "The male gun is on the opposite side!"
"I would say that Coach KT should not go on the field and let mataBP forget about it. Is it possible for people to choose a top jungler like a male gun paired with a sword girl?"
As he spoke, Jack found Sword Lady's avatar from the hero list and locked it!
"OMG!" The doll felt his scalp numb the moment he saw the hero's portrait: "What did Brother Fan take? Can you tell me, am I being deceived?"
"You read that right, it's Sword Girl!" Guan Zeyuan responded in a deep voice. Ever since Li Mufan transferred to EDG and returned to the competition, and won the finals MVP by storming all the way, Guan Zeyuan went out of his way to review Li Mufan's life. .
Sword Girl and Huni, these are definitely two names that Li Mufan cannot avoid in his career.
Now the elements are complete!
Sword Princess is in Li Mufan's hand, and Huni is sitting opposite him!
At this moment, the second game of the BO5 final between EDG and SKT is about to take place!
"Brother Fan is going to break his inner demons!" Miller's passion surged: "This time is not that time. I have to look at each other with admiration after three days apart, not to mention that two years have passed now!"
"Brother Fan's performance throughout the Spring Split and MSI in the first half of this year has been witnessed by all of us! We definitely have reason to believe in his Sword Princess!"
Guan Zeyuan also roared: "You show the Qinggang Shadow, and I will show the sword! Come on, SKT! Let's fight with real swords and guns! We in the LPL are never afraid of fighting!"
"It depends on the factory director which wine barrel he chooses! Very good! This hero can slightly compensate for the AP damage, and the strong control effect also makes Huni unable to only consider armor shoes!"
SKT's last move was to use Big Mouth. Facing EDG's bottom lane hero blockade, Big Mouth is currently the one who still has some say in cooperating with Lulu's support.
"But SKT does not have a card guarantee system like EDG. Their big mouth cannot have a good output environment like Jack!"
With the confirmation of Sword Lady, the three people on the LPL commentary desk were in full condition, and every word they spoke was shouted with great momentum through gritted teeth!
"Fight hard and perform normally, huni is no match for you!" Nofe did not forget to give Li Mufan a large bowl of chicken soup before stepping down.
He also did not forget to face his senior, Scout, who was fighting a battle of proof; the factory director, who was also conservative and cautious in his playing style, was also encouraged by nofe.
According to nofe's description, EDG's top, middle and jungle positions were ranked first in the world in three positions, and Scout is the perfect candidate to overthrow Brother Li and become the new generation of mid laner god!
"What about me?" Jack asked hurriedly when he saw Nofe was about to take off his headphones.
Why did you praise me once in the middle and jungle, but then I left?
Don’t treat your buddies as teammates?
"You?" nofe thought for a moment, "The one on the other side is the hero you used before, you know!"
Nofe didn't understand what he said. Anyway, it was Jack's own business to make assumptions. He simply felt that with Jack's mentality, there was no need for him to irrigate it with chicken soup.
"I understand! I just fucked the big mouth, are you worthy of playing with it? Yu Men is just talking! Let's see my brother fuck him!" Jack rolled up the cuffs of his team uniform, full of ambition.
nofe sighed lightly. To be honest, he was a little envious of Jack. How could he be so confident in the face of the only double-champion bot lane duo in the world and SKT's most stable duo?
No more words, Nofe took off his earphones and went to the middle of the stage to shake hands with Kuma. Both coaches had great trust in their players and were even more satisfied with the BP in this round.
In fact, the buckle horse is not afraid of Li Mufan's Sword Princess in the fourth hand!
Although Sword Girl is Qinggang Ying's counter position, there are only a few who are really effective in the game.
Duke, the top laner who left SKT, and Smeb, who played in the LCK spring finals that ended not long ago, are not the top top laners who have been famous for a long time?
They all used Sword Girl to fight Qinggang Shadow, but they all lost!
Sometimes the hero's counter relationship doesn't explain everything. How to play the hero's own effect is the key to determining the final outcome of the game!
Seeing both coaches leaving the main stage, the director promptly raised the camera to the entire audience.
Colorful flowers and passionate drumbeats exploded in the air, and several spotlights of different colors swept through the white mist sprayed by dry ice blasters all around.
All preparations are just for the exciting showdown between the two sides!
"Okay! The lineups of both sides have been confirmed!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed the lineups of both sides before the game as usual: "When EDG took out Braum in the first hand, we all thought that EDG would choose to be a little more conservative in the second hand, but no Thinking about it, they are trying to suppress their enthusiasm! The four hands behind them are more violent than the other!"
"SKT is the same! No concessions at all!"
"The two sides are facing each other, and they are full of firepower in the hero selection in the second game!" (End of this chapter)
