Chapter 148 [The day the broken sword was reforged]
"Congratulations to IG for successfully winning their first victory in the S6 Global Finals."
Guan Zeyuan straightened his body, his clenched fists and his body were trembling slightly, suppressing the excitement of the whole scene. When the base crystal exploded, it was as if he had found an outlet.
Exploded!
"Zero seal! Linglong Tower!"
“This is IG!”
"This is the LPL-style classic battle victory!"
"Just like the hero Riven used by today's Dow players, Invictus Gaming, whose sword was cut off last year, will recast the broken sword today."
"They used their eliminated lineup in the S5 World Championship to defeat their old rivals and declare to the world with a high profile:
"IG and the others are back!"
"They will be crowned as the Avengers," Su Xiaoyan's tone was choked with tears, "holding the incomplete broken sword of S5, pointing at S6!"
Chu Ge slowly took off his headphones, stroked Dashu's keyboard with his fingers, and chuckled, "Old man, you have endured pressure that you should not bear at this age!"
Returning to the game again after more than a month, Chu Ge was intoxicated by this long-lost feeling of victory.
A stage bigger than LPL, 16 top teams from around the world gather together, and the whole world is focused on it.
The crowd in the audience was buzzing, and the crowd was frowning. This was Chu Ge's best field BUFF bonus. He enjoyed the feeling of this kind of competition.
The 7,000 spectators in the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium suddenly burst into cheers and shouts of gongs and drums, and waves of sound gathered in the auditorium. This was a gift from the North American audience to the winner.
Simply relying on the momentum created by a small number of Chinese Americans and international students cannot create such a shocking effect that makes people cheer and cheer enthusiastically.
The North American audience also successfully felt the identity of IG Avengers through the heart-rending howls of NALCS commentators.
Compared with SKT establishing the legend of the Triple Crown dynasty, North American audiences are more willing to see the little-known IG defeat the next and create new glory.
Even if they lost this game to their own division, after accepting the identity setting of IG, they did not utter any boos, but gave encouragement and cheers.
At this moment, they even had some doubts about Riot's team ranking in the forum. As the No. 1 seed in the LPL, why should it be ranked behind the No. 2 seed?
The world's third-ranked team can't even beat the wild cards?
The fifth-ranked team actually faced the third-seeded team of the LCS, creating the largest gap in the history of the global finals so far.
0 heads, 0 dragons, 0 defense towers!
3 non-version unpopular heroes, and these heroes were picked out in the first game of the global finals.
The perfect starting combination of Scorpion + Thresh makes C9 always lose one person before the team battle, and the subsequent team battles are completely crushed.
Especially Dow’s Riven.
The heroes on the top lane are basically numerical monsters, and their antagonism has the greatest impact among the four lanes in version changes. However, Riven can kill from beginning to end. This is a very outrageous thing in itself.
After all, IG's lineup exposed their ambitions from the moment they were locked, allowing all teams in the division to see that they were back.
But...
As the No. 1 seed in LPL.
The risk of doing this is very high!
Especially considering the overall poor performance of the LPL in last year's World Championship, and the pressure of public opinion that EDG lost the wild card, the non-version lineup system must be taken down.
If this lineup does not perform as well as it should, and is even defeated by C9, then IG will not be the Avengers, but the biggest clown in this year's World Championship.
Especially on the road!
The biggest breakthrough of S5's IG is the attitude.
Riven, who was selected by Chu Ge, will be used by fans in the LPL division to look at his performance with a magnifying glass. Whenever he performs poorly in this game, or he wins because of his teammates.
They will be severely punished.
Especially when he still has the EDG label on his body, he will be involved in the center of this public opinion.
Invincible in the civil war, but invincible in the foreign war? !
One can imagine!
How much pressure did Chu Ge bear in this game?
But fortunately, in this game, IG not only won the first show in the World Championship, but Chu Ge also succeeded with a cute and cute show!
High risks come with high rewards!
Chu Ge deserves to enjoy the praise from the world and let the world listen to this talented top laner from the LPL.
NALCS studio.
"The biggest discrepancy in the history of the global finals!" Jatt lamented, "IG played the ultimate LPL style of play and successfully won their first victory!"
"Even if you cover your ID, everyone can guess that they must be a team from the ancient Eastern country on the other side of the ocean. No other competition region can imitate their style!"
"Hey, Bro," Deficio looked at his partner and asked doubtfully, "Do you feel the difference between this IG and other LPL teams?"
Jatt shook his head.
"IG played really recklessly. Putting aside the laning phase, if we break down the teamfights in the entire game, we can see that they didn't play haphazardly like other LPL teams, just to get kills. Take the head.”
"Instead, through team battles that they are good at, they took down every wave of resources. They can push down towers but never kill people, and they can take down dragons and never hesitate to fight..."
"C9 was completely stunned by IG's teamfight."
Hearing this, Deficio's eyes lit up and he nodded slowly, "You mean they are operating through team battles? Why do you feel that the words "fighting" and "operation" go against each other!"
The running game itself is full of piss spots, just like watching a Shakespeare play, which always makes people drowsy.
The core point of Korean-style operations is just one word.
drag!
To sum up, the method of dragging is nothing more than 3 points.
1. Avoid unnecessary fights;
2. Avoid risky fights;
Three fights must revolve around resources;
IG and C9 failed to achieve the first two points in this game.
But the third point is better than all LPL teams.
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Deficio confirmed his partner's view, "I usually pay attention to the LPL, and IG showed clearly more discipline than other teams this time. Of course, I am talking about offensive discipline. .”
The style of the LPL division is full of blood in the eyes of most people. If Riot does not change the cost-effectiveness of level 1 groups, they can even fight from level 1 to the end of the game.
In S5, even EDG, which likes to operate, ranks first in the LPL in terms of average number of players per game, not to mention other teams that are unorganized and undisciplined and still follow the Rank play style.
The thinking patterns of team battles in the two divisions are different.
Give an example.
After the opponent throws away his ultimate move to save one of his own players, he first saves his teammates, and also throws his ultimate move to protect his teammates.
The teams on both sides of the LPL are thinking that since the other side has no big move, they can fight this wave; while the LCK team is thinking that since we have no big move and we have fewer skills, team fights are risky, so we should separate first and not fight as a team.
In fact, even if you don’t watch professional leagues. Just looking at the styles of the top rankings of the two servers, you can tell that they are completely replicas.
From the audience's perspective, such a game is very fast-paced, with frequent fights and an even greater number of heads.
The audience naturally loves to watch it.
But in fact, Korean operators like to encounter such teams, so what if they leave the early and mid-term to you? After entering the lane change period in 15 minutes, through the step-by-step exchange of resources between operators, the disadvantage can be completely recovered.
They only need to implement one or two strategies, and use the operation method to take advantage of the time difference of the summoner's skills after 15 minutes, resulting in a numerical advantage, or a skill lead, and they can completely give away resources to the next team battle.
Gradually cannibalizing the LPL team.
Except for EDG, a team that doesn't fight back when someone scolds them, or fights back.
Ming Kai, who has steadily stretched his hips in foreign wars, met a shrimp pilot in a competition. He only knew how to be a turtle, mindlessly dragging his own C-position equipment, waiting for the opponent to make mistakes and then counterattack.
As a result, looking at the entire World Championship, people who perform well in the league often do not perform satisfactorily. On the contrary, the top laner who does not have many shots becomes the highlight of the game.
They didn't think clearly about a problem.
The LCK team's strengths and weaknesses are extremely stable, and the tactics formulated by the coaching staff do not allow Korean players to change.
If you make a mistake... the punishment is not like drinking a glass of wine, ordering takeout, and having a heart-to-heart talk with an LPL club.
Otherwise, how do you think Hu Burou, Du Buchuan, and Xiao Shusheng got their nicknames? It was still shaped into the shape of SKT.
And what about IG.
Although the first two operation modes did not achieve this, in this game, they will always have at least one advantageous lane to help the team in team fights or ganks and radiate to the entire team.
When a small-scale team battle breaks out, IG uses its own advantageous lane to pick up the resource team, and basically never loses. This style of play has already begun to take shape in the summer finals.
While the two were complimenting each other, Huni next to him was completely downcast and looked at the scene in the studio with cold eyes.
The director gave the MVP of this game, and on the screen was the official announcement poster that Chu Ge took after arriving in San Francisco.
In the picture, he nodded slightly, looked forward with stern eyes, stretched his left hand behind his back, and made a cool gesture like Darth Vader drawing his lightsaber in "Star Wars".
The left and right interaction with Riwen's original painting behind him was so harmonious that it gave him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu like a sword discussion on Mount Huashan.
On the right are his data.
8/0/6, group participation rate is 90%, counterpoint economic difference is 5500!
Awesome data, perfect game performance.
Huni's face was so painful that he was slapped hard by the team he was mocking before the game.
It hurts, it really hurts!
[Classic rhetoric before the game, nonsense after the game]
[Someone who can’t even enter the World Championships, who has the right to judge my husband? Stop calling me Huni. I’ll give you a slap in the face]
[I, the Dow director, specializes in slapping you trolls. Remember to check your ID before trolling next time]
【It’s so fun to watch! This should be the normal performance of LPL teams in the World Championship! 】
[Dow, my Dow, how can I live without you! 】
[Oh, the No. 3 seed in the LCS is so messed up. Those who didn’t know thought they had won the world championship! 】
[Just keep blowing, I’ll see if Dow÷ is the No. 2 bathing dog. Her words are stronger than her strength, right? 】
[Where did this idiot come from! Can you please set it up as a private account before you troll people? What a dead horse, Han Za]
……
IG player seats.
"Awesome, Pigeon," King Ning put his arm around Chu Ge's shoulders, "You have been named as the world champion top laner. Your stamp album can really summon the dragon."
"It's true," Song Yijin waved his hands with a smile, "Riven, you have the same demeanor as I did back then! Just take it easy when you are operating, and don't do those dangerous moves."
Chu Ge nodded and agreed.
The wave of overclocking operations in the previous game was really exhausting on physical strength. After playing a Bo1 game, it actually felt like playing a full Bo3 game.
If he were to temporarily capture the master-level memory fragments and perform operations in Bo5, he would probably have to play the game with glucose.
Then next time... try shifting gears?
"Let's go, brothers," Song Yijin could no longer hold back his inner desire, "We are going to shake hands with the opponent as a winner."
"It's a pity...Kakao didn't come."
As the first batch of players to come to China, the coal-mining duo were not as utilitarian as later generations who came to the LPL to make money after winning the championship. The two came to the LPL away from Korea and had a very good relationship with each other.
"You have Prince Ning and still miss your ex, you are such a scumbag," Chu Ge pushed Gao Zhenning forward, "Don't give me face, my cock can withstand the impact of your meat bombs!"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the C9 player bench.
King Ning and Song Yijin looked at each other, cursed in a low voice and quickly caught up with their teammates.
Before he even got closer, Chu Ge saw Teacher Damu's Sima face with his head lowered, silently packing away peripherals.
In fact, it is understandable.
Forget it if you lose the game.
Being zero-blocked by IG + Linglong Tower, and being slapped into the background by Chu Ge's reverse version of Riven, no one would have a good face. It's already a great blessing that I didn't buy a painful mask worth more than 3,000 yuan.
Don't look at it, this is just the first game of the group stage.
But after this game, they failed to score points, which also dealt a huge blow to the morale of the entire team. This is definitely not a good thing for them in the future competition in Group C.
Although AHQ and Samsung are not the No. 1 seeds, their strength can definitely be ranked in the middle or upper reaches of the 16 teams.
Every game in the group stage is important.
Fortunately, although Impact was unhappy, he would not engage in an offline 1v1 men's battle with Chu Ge, so he still turned around and shook hands.
This was the first time the two teams had met each other, and they had never interacted with each other. After being assigned to a group, in order to avoid exposing their tactics, they would not make appointments for training matches, so naturally they were not very familiar with each other.
Song Yijin and Impac had played against each other before at OGN, but the two were just acquaintances. They didn't even exchange a few words, shook hands and left.
The five people came to the center of the stage, lined up in a row, and collectively bowed to the audience, which once again aroused warm applause and cheers from the fans at the scene.
Although the European and American audience's performance at the opening ceremony was not ideal, they were vigorously slapping the cheering sticks to encourage IG.
Gao Zhenning finally decided to forgive them.
