Chapter 143 [Boomerang of S5]
After the peripheral equipment debugging was completed, Chu Ge entered the password and entered the competition room titled [2016 WORLDSGROUPSTAGE-DAY1-6-IGVSC9] after being reminded by the referee.
Different from the competition server used within the LPL, in order to adapt to the habits of players from various countries, the World Championship will include operating interfaces in the language versions used in all competition regions.
Just like C9.
The core framework of the players of last year's team was mainly Chinese, and there were often 5 people and 3 operating interfaces during the game.
However, after Master Hai's robbery in the S4 World Championship became his swan song, he transformed into a jungler in S5 in order to pursue his dream, which is similar to how Master An was sanctioned by Faker and transformed.
The S6 directly announced its retirement.
It can be called a three-piece resignation package.
Jungler Meteos successfully moved up to the starting lineup, and Jensen took over C9's mid lane banner.
Balls on the top lane was pushed out of the starting lineup by S3's world champion top laner Impact. C9's veteran assistant LemonNation on the bottom lane also left the team, and the Chinese Smoothie took his place.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the ADC player in the team, the cross-dressing boss Sneaky.
This new C9 is definitely stronger than last year.
Although Jensen is ranked among the top players in the LPL, according to the standards of the LCS division, he has reached the threshold of the European and American Dharma King.
"How to play this game?" Chu Ge turned his head and looked at Tabe, "We can't imitate EDG's bad lineup, otherwise, let alone Linglong Tower, whether we can win the game is a problem."
Wang Boqin raised the corner of his mouth confidently, "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks. I like to crush the self-confidence of others in what they are good at!"
Hearing this, Rookie curled his lips and said speechlessly, "Chris said the same thing last year. He was fine in the front and middle, but he was chased and hammered in the middle and late stages."
He sighed, "I feel like this year's EDG got our last year's script, Tabe, don't mess around, I'm a little panicked."
Chu Ge couldn't help laughing.
Europe and America's laning ability in the first 15 minutes is not their advantage.
LPL teams definitely understand this.
The title of European and American Laobei started in S2. When faced with European and American teams, LPL teams could basically defeat them in the first fifteen minutes and gain a huge advantage.
Of course, except for S8RNG and G2.
The skill points of European and American teams are allocated to team fighting capabilities.
This is inextricably linked to the abundance of French kings in their division.
The game styles of King of Kings often have one thing in common. They basically focus on their early development. Whichever team can farm faster can become fatter and gain the advantage to take over the game.
In fact, this has a lot to do with their exposure to the game since the beginning of the closed beta. When the initial brush heroes such as the mid laner Death Song, Clockwork, and Ice Bird were popular, the blood of the French King in the European and American competitions could be seen everywhere.
It's just that after Riot changed to the assassin version in S3, there were fewer and fewer kings in the European and American divisions, and it gradually went downhill.
"It's okay, I have General Chu Ge," Tabe waved his hand nonchalantly, "And Song Yijin, the only master of LPL, I have king and king, but I don't believe that the 17 cards on the other side can defeat me."
"Don't fucking milk me, brother..." Chu Ge trembled all over, "If you want to die, don't pull me, brother, I don't want to be Gao Dewei!"
"Impact is not a rotten fish. Although this guy came to Europe and the United States to fish..." Chu Ge suddenly realized that something was wrong. In order to avoid being criticized, he quickly changed his words, "His condition is very good. It takes a little effort to kill him." It’s Kung Fu.”
The top laners in the early OGN League were all versatile, whether it was S3 champion Impact or S4 Looper.
Don't look at Mr. Omu playing a trap in the S3 finals. He smashed the skull of the royal family with a street lamp and single-handedly penetrated the top lane all the way.
But in fact, you have to kneel down when you encounter the super crocodile.
Dodlike is not like the 50-yuan red-biting minion. It is a real prehistoric crocodile that SKT dare not release.
Therefore, Ohmu is not a player with a style like a super top laner who goes off to the top and serves as the core of the team.
He is the kind of player who has a weak forehand and poor backhand, and is not worthy of competing with the top top laners.
Chu Ge raised his lips, and there was a look of desire in his eyes, "Actually, I don't mind adding an S3 world champion top laner to my solo kill stamp album. If I can form a bond, I might be able to summon the dragon."
Tabe squeezed Chu Ge's shoulder and said dotingly, "Brother Chu, do you have any suggestions for choosing a hero today?"
Before Chu Ge could answer, the opponent's referee gave the order to start the game. With the clang of metal, IG's journey to the World Championship officially began.
The second half of today's LPL main stage was narrated by Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan. Wawa and Miller left after explaining the first half.
"Okay, welcome to the 2016 Global Finals group stage, where IG from Group C will play against C9," Guan Ze Yuanlang said, "Let's see if our LPL No. 1 seed can win its first victory in this World Championship! ”
"This one is really not that easy to play," Su Xiaoyan frowned slightly and explained her reason, "IG is on the red side, and they need to assume the two fixed ban positions, so C9 on the blue side They can build their lineup very well.”
Guan Zeyuan nodded slowly, "Vampires can now be released after being weakened in version 6.17, but EZ and Jace must be banned."
"EZ's performance in the first five games is very impressive, and there seems to be a tendency to become the bottom lane hero in version T0."
"Dow himself can take Jayce, but the usage rate and win rate of EZ's Wuxin are not very ideal. IG is a bit too passive on the red side."
While the two were talking, the six squad members had been completed.
C9 banned Leopard Girl, Karma and Jace.
IGBan dropped Zyra, EZ and Zac.
“Zach has been strengthened in the 6.18 version,” Guan Zeyuan popularized to the audience, “and jungler Meteos has been practicing in the queue recently, and his super team-fighting ability is in line with the style of the C9 team. ”
C9 grabbed Syndra on the first floor.
Tabe wasn't surprised.
According to recent training match data analysis, Syndra's winning rate has soared. C9 plays around Emperor Jian. In this version, he is definitely a hero worth grabbing for the blue side.
The most important thing is not to be afraid of being countered!
In particular, the heroes in the middle have become brushes again, and as soon as the three rhythm heroes of the jungle, Centaur, Excavator and Barrel, are weakened, the male gunner and the leopard girl will rise again.
The relatively bulky Syndra, Clockwork and Three Hands, who have no displacement in the middle, have all become T0 heroes.
The reason is simple.
If Syndra wants to gain a matchup advantage in the middle, he must cross the line of troops or press people under the tower. This results in his positioning being always in the optimal gank position of the enemy jungler.
A jungler with full control skills will naturally not let Syndra go, but Heroes such as Male Spear and Leopard Girl who focus on jungle cores are not very afraid of Ball Girl.
It can even cooperate with your own jungler to save people for counterattack.
On the other hand, due to the changes in the ecology of the upper and lower lanes, it is difficult for tanks and protective supports to appear, which indirectly enhances Syndra's ability to save the ball and enter the field in seconds.
Before the team fight even started, his ADC died suddenly, and there was no way he could take on a team fight without one person.
However, the proficiency of Jian Huang's Syndra is not as high as that of his Snake Girl, and Syndra has only been used in 5 games.
He used Snake Girl 13 times in the LCS Summer Split, with a winning rate of 84.6% and only two losses. So Syndra's move here is a bit of a grab to lead the way.
IG locked Han Bing and Victor on the first and second floors.
“Get the ice first,” Guan Zeyuan analyzed. “Now that the two versions of Zyra and Karma have no T0 support, it depends on whether C9 will break up the Freljord combination and reduce IG’s damage. Road-to-Line Strength.”
"Another point is that Braum's shield still restrains Syndra's instant burst, which is very detrimental to C9's tactical core."
C9 also understands this very well.
The Nosuke combination of instantly locking Braum and blind monk on the second and third floors.
"The opponent has been fooled," King Ning was ecstatic, "Coach, don't hesitate to lock me down. I have to let the opponent see how powerful the Chinese jungler is today."
"Where did the Chinese jungler come from?!" Tabe wondered, "Our team's foreign player quotas are all filled, aren't you an African jungler?!"
"..."
Gao Zhenning covered his face and exhaled heavily.
"Let's talk first," Baolan said with a slumped face, "I have to take off the Q on the keyboard first, which will make me dominate the W."
"It's okay, I picked up the lantern and stole it!"
Wu Xin giggled and immediately took down Sapphire's Thresh after Song Yijin locked down the jungler.
"Scorpion and Thresh!"
Guan Zeyuan's surprised voice spread throughout the LPL commentary hall, "These two heroes are not of high priority in this version!"
"Scorpion has not been on the professional scene for a long time. Is it possible that they prepared black technology in the first game of the World Championship?"
"But regardless of the version, IG's Nosuke is actually quite restrained from C9's lineup," Su Xiaoyan showed her professionalism, "IGBan dropped Zyra to induce the opponent to ban Karma, and cast Ice first and then In addition, C9 locked Braum, they thought about it in advance!”
In fact, there is another reason.
Zyra's flower is very resistant to Thresh's Q skill, and her poke and backhand abilities will leave the Warden with no room to play.
The same goes for Karma.
C9's coaching staff is also based on this consideration.
Since no one can get version T0 support, they should stop playing, so they gave IG Tau Tau or Tahm Kench.
But I never expected... Thresh could be chosen.
"I can understand choosing any wine barrel. After all, this is King Ning's most commonly used hero in the summer split, and it also fits his position in the IG team." Guan Zeyuan didn't know why, "Scorpion is still a bit too conservative!" < br>
Not only did the two LPL commentators discover the problem, but there was also a sudden commotion in the LCS main studio next door.
Jatt shook his head and wondered, "I originally thought that IG would learn from EDG's lessons and correct their identity, but now it seems that LPL is really hopeless!"
"Indeed, IG's lineup is too weak in the middle and jungle," Defice analyzed. "C9's Blind Sin + Syndra combination completely beat IG regardless of lineup combination or burst."
"Even if they expand, it's impossible to choose this kind of lineup?! Could it be that IG's training team drank all the champagne before the game and ended up talking nonsense during the game?"
"Huni, what do you think?" Kobe turned the topic to Hu Burou. He liked this guy's openness. "I personally think this C9 has a 7-point chance of winning just in terms of BP."
Just when the LPL audience was about to criticize him, they didn't expect that Hu Burou, who was so arrogant before, didn't say a word and kept silent.
It took him a while before he uttered a few words.
“I feel something is wrong with IG.”
Not only did Huni feel something was wrong, C9 also noticed it.
"Isn't IG's style in the LPL league good at taking the initiative to attack in the early stage?" Jian Huang fiddled with his curly hair and said in surprise, "You have such an unfamiliar lineup in the first game of the World Championship?"
"I think," Meteos raised the corner of his mouth, "I can learn from the Brazilian jungler Lee Sin, kick Ning's ass, and let their LPL junglers go to the corner to play with eggs!"
C9's coach patted his player's chair.
"Ignore them for now. Sneaky, take down Jhin first. Impact, do you have any ideas on hero selection?"
Impact thought for a moment.
"Take Kennen, I have a lot of room to play both in laning and in team battles."
C9 finally locked in Kennen + Jhin.
In version 6.17, Kennen has updated the flight speed of his basic attack, increasing it from 1600 to 1700. Although it does not increase the attack speed, it actually has a small enhancement.
Using the passive mark level A, you can put one layer of marks on the enemy hero faster. If you can use two layers, it will allow the opponent to reduce the space for operation and better retain people.
"Chu Ge, do you want to take it?" Tabe walked up behind Chu Ge.
"Take it, why don't you take it? The other side is trying to kill me, there's no reason to let them go!"
Chu Ge's confident voice echoed in the IG team's voice, and the players collectively turned to look at their teammates and gave a thumbs up.
"Take it!"
In the eyes of global audiences and commentators from various competition regions, an incredible hero suddenly appeared.
"——The day when the broken sword is reforged, when the knight returns!"
Riven!
"Rui Ruiwen?" Guan Zeyuan looked in disbelief, and even his usually sharp mouth began to stutter, "Dow seems to always choose the play method with the most barrages!"
"Actually, Riven is really good at beating Kennen," Su Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes slightly, "As long as you can trick Kennen out of his E skill, and take advantage of the free time of the skill, you can approach him through flexible movement. By the opponent's side, there is no damage or blood consumption. ”
“It’s just a bit inconsistent with the current version.”
LPL official live broadcast room——
【Turtle! I had already typed my words and was about to spray on IG, but Director Dow suddenly gave me a big one, so I dared to take Riven in this hand. Even if IG loses this game, I still get the right to be free from spraying! 】
[No, is Director Dow possessed by his posture? Last year, Riven acted like a piece of shit in the world, but he still dares to come this year, right? 】
[Director Dow knows what the audience wants to see, and his fans turned into true fans]
[He really dares to choose, but he won’t show off to you. My Riven value has been reduced, but my mechanism is here. 】
[Impact, not as good as one of my Dow]
[I can’t wait to see Dow commentate on the achievement of solo killing the current world champion top laner! 】
