Chapter 156 [I found that courage is unreliable at all, only complete madness makes sense]
"Welcome to the 2016 Global Finals," the baby in the commentary box said loudly, "Today is the last day of the first round of the group stage. The first battle is between IG and SSG from Group C!"
< br>
Sitting in the commentary box today are the Haier brothers.
The confrontation between the Chinese and Korean teams has always been the focus of LPL viewers. The official commentary will naturally arrange the senior Haier brothers in key games in advance.
"Currently, both IG and SSG have two wins. The outcome of this game will determine the top spot in Group C!"
Miller introduced to the audience in the live broadcast room: "The LCK division still shows their dominance. SKT in Group D has already won the first place. Rox also took the first place with an advantage of two wins. In the second round of the group stage, There is a high probability that they will become the top players in their respective groups.”
LCK has won the global finals for three consecutive years from Season 3 to Season 5. The dominance they have shown in the region has given them the qualification to call themselves the number one division in the world.
While the players were debugging the equipment, the director panned the camera over each player's face in turn.
Before the game started, the faces of the players on both sides were full of smiles. They took off their headsets to drink water and chat and laugh with their teammates.
"I feel like the IG team members are in a very relaxed state," Wawa couldn't help but joked, "Except for Rookie, the other team members are competing for the first time, and it can be seen that they have not shown any discomfort!"
"I took advantage of yesterday to catch up on the post-match interview with the IG players," Miller nodded in agreement and chuckled, "It can be seen that they are very confident in this game, especially Director Dow's speech, which impressed me. It’s so exciting!”
"There's no e-sports without passion," Watana touched the earphones and received the message from the director, "The players on both sides are ready, let's hand over the screen to the competition seats."
Accompanied by sonorous sounds, BP images were displayed on three large screens in the municipal auditorium.
"In this game, SSG is on the blue side and IG is on the red side."
Wawa said loudly, "I remember after IG defeated C9 for the first time, Director Dow once said that the eliminated lineup of S5 was reserved for SSG, but I didn't expect that it would be eliminated in advance."
"I just don't know if IG has any new routines for this game. It would actually be pretty good if I can add a package to SSG."
"Probably not"
Miller shook his head and denied, "Even if there are new routines, it is unlikely to be used in the group stage, otherwise IG will be very passive in the knockout stage."
The words just fell.
SSG took the lead in sending Jess to the ban position.
Edger is a typical Korean coaching style, and most of the style of Homme, who was later known as Homme, was influenced by him.
Maybe there is nothing too eye-catching in terms of BP, but the main focus is on heroes that are weak and cannot be played by Cuvee, so they will be banned directly.
Anyway, there is no fixed position for the blue side, so I just disable whatever I'm afraid of.
LPL official live broadcast room——
[It’s over, I feel like Jayce, whom I directed by Dow, won’t be able to see him in the World Championship. He won’t have a good skin and the game will be gone]
【Jiexi? He is just a tool for skins. He is there every year, but I have never seen anyone choose a champion skin.]
[Why don’t you, Jess, keep it for the New Year? Cuvee doesn’t know how to play Lucian. If he can play, he won’t dare to take it anymore】
【Laughing like crazy! Didn’t you watch Looper’s live broadcast? He secretly practiced with Cuvee to fight Jace against Lucian]
[Two novices used the control variable method, but found that the proficiency of the hero was not enough, and they did not understand the most important part]
[It’s a pity that Lucian can’t play either]
As usual, IG sent Leopard Girl to the banned position.
"Jiang Canrong, ban the troll," Edger patted Leader An on the shoulder, "We have to lock down the Berserker first!"
Ambition nodded.
IG took out the troll jungler yesterday and smashed Olaf's skull very violently. This was undoubtedly a huge impact on the jungle environment.
The key point is that Trolls are not as technologically advanced as Scorpions.
Troll has obviously joined the ecological circle of jungle heroes in this year's version. The key is that other players simply cannot develop this hero in a short time.
If they want to choose Olaf and dominate other jungle heroes, they must ban the troll, otherwise a situation like AHQ will happen.
And with Ambition's status in SSG, it is indeed worthy for Edge to invest more resources in him.
IG also understands.
However, they didn't pay attention and sent Bobby to the ban position with their backhand.
"Huh? Poppy?"
Miller was surprised and said, "In the first two games, Cuvee used Rambo in two consecutive games! Although this hero has been strengthened, it is not worth IG sacrificing his ban position to block it."
It's exactly what Miller said.
The current mainstream heroes with the most appearances in the top lane are Rumble and Kennen, while Jace is basically out of the game due to being banned.
But IG’s ban position is a bit confusing.
Edger frowned.
Knowing that they were going to take Olaf, what if IG didn't use this information to make a hero swap? Instead, it made no sense to ban Poppy?
But he quickly reacted.
The troll has been banned and no position can be taken out.
If SSG takes down the hammer-shaped cannon with a backhand, IG will only have the two yordle choices of Rambo and Kennen, which is indeed a bit passive.
Moreover, in Cuvee's recent ranking records, this hero is also used, so this ban position is reasonable.
But
There cannot be an equal exchange, and Edger still feels that IG's head coach Mafa is a little sick.
"Want to Ban Syndra?"
Edger glanced at the notebook in his hand.
Compared with the popular heroes in the current version, Crown is actually better at heroes such as Three Hands and Snake Girl who develop in the early stage and take over the game in the later stage.
The usage rate of Syndra in the LCK Summer Split Crown is 0.
It's really a bit green to play.
But Syndra, her opponent in Rookie, played very smoothly.
If he banishes the ball.
It is very likely that IG will block Victor, so at this time the two heroes will only have Clockwork and Snake in the middle.
Edger thought for a moment.
In the end, I still asked Crown to seal off the ice. In this way, both midfielders and assistants can each get a hero that fits the version and is OP, which is not a loss.
IG backhandedly disabled EZ.
Everyone knows the top three picks of both sides. SSG has locked down Olaf, Karma and Viktor; IG has selected Syndra, Zyra and Jhin.
"Prince Ning felt that it would be better to get the blind monk," Miller suggested. "Both the excavator and the spider are actually not very good at dealing with Olaf."
Blind Sin and Syndra have a small combo combo, and the combination is very powerful in the early stage.
The most important thing is
When the blind monk has a level 2 green jungle knife, he can also use his flexibility to avoid Olaf's pursuit.
There will be a chance to try it later.
Excavators and spiders are both options for blind monks.
IG finally locked Elise down.
"Wow" Miller's eyes widened, "Why do I feel that IG's BP today is a bit confusing, it's not a loss to use the blind monk to beat Olaf!"
"Could it be that the Mafa coach has been replaced?"
Tabe's BP in the first two games did make some sense, and IG also played a dominant role in the lineup.
Is it possible?
Yuan Shanyan was also infected by EDG, and he still stayed in the old way of thinking in the BP version of the summer split?
"I feel it."
Understanding doll games has always been his weakness, but he is definitely good at mobilizing emotions. "Is it possible that IG will give Dow some new heroes today?"
It's a pity that IG can't give him an answer immediately. The next two hands belong to SSG's selection positions. SSG first locked down Ruler's Sivir.
When there are no other three heroes to choose from: Ice, Jhin and EZ, Policewoman is a bit too slow, so the best choice is Wheel Mom.
As for the order.
"Cuvee used Ekko the most in the LCK Summer Split," Miller guessed. "I don't know if he will be locked in."
"But there are quite a few heroes in Dow's hero pool that can handle Ekko."
The words just fell.
SSG's last choice locked Rambo. This was his third Mecha Poppy game since the World Championship.
"Oh," Chu Ge looked at his opponent suspiciously as he locked down Rambo, "My jungler likes to jump towers, how dare you choose Rambo?"
"You haven't seen how tragic Marin's death is, have you!"
Mafa almost burst out laughing.
The reason why he banned Poppy instead of targeting Olaf was to bet that the opponent would continue to take Rambo, but he didn't expect that the opponent would be fooled.
"Now I have an excuse to take this hero!"
He patted Chu Ge on the shoulder, "The key to victory or defeat still depends on you!"
The advantage of SSG lies in its vision. By constantly pulling and using the poke of the lineup to consume, or pushing for 41 points, there is no hero to start the team at all.
in this case.
You can't force SSG to fight you.
Even if IG's style is reckless, the Korean team's discipline and execution have always been ahead of the LPL team.
I'll give it to you if the head is given to you, and decide not to take the group that shouldn't be taken.
AHQ and C9 have made such mistakes before. IG brought them to the rhythm they are most familiar with. In the end, they were unable to complete the resource exchange, resulting in a quick loss of the game.
There is really no way to deny the strength of the S6LCK team.
To deal with this situation, LPL teams have only one method that has been passed down to this day, and that is to force open!
After all, the blue-collar top laners in the past were not like independent teams like Chu Ge. They were the ones who truly had team supremacy engraved on their foreheads.
I can’t say that the team is bad, I can only say that when facing an operating team like the LCK, being too team-oriented often becomes a shackles that shackles the team.
But IG is different!
The existence of Chu Ge is enough to support their one-way system. It depends on who can tear open the wound on the sideline!
"Take it!"
Chu Ge fiddled with the headset and signaled Baolan to pick up the hero.
"I don't know what the other person's face is like..."
Yuan Shanyan smiled and looked at the SSG player seats next door.
He has always been more obedient when it comes to hero selection. Unlike Tabe, who is still in the rebellious stage, he likes to use little tricks to make players listen to him.
And this lineup.
They also practiced before the start of the group stage, but after all, this hero has just released two versions, so it is still a little harsh to meet the standards for being able to play.
It wasn't until Chu Ge showed enough hero proficiency yesterday that the coaching staff unanimously agreed to bring out this lineup.
"——I found that courage is unreliable at all, only complete madness makes sense!"
Furious Knight - Kled!
Seeing IG lock it down, the North American audience in the auditorium suddenly cheered. The new hero they were looking forward to appeared on the scene!
"Kled?"
Miller frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Kled has been in a tepid state since the 6.16 version update, and he is an unpopular hero in the professional arena.
The main reason.
It's not that professional teams are unwilling to study him, but compared to other new heroes, both basic attributes and skill damage are too low.
Everyone positions him as a jungle hero.
Q [Zipline Bear Trap] can hook the first hero or a large wild monster, and can also cause 150% damage to minions along the way.
The E skill can also be used in conjunction with Q to gank online heroes.
But the flaws are also obvious.
Kled does not have any recovery effect, and the jungle clearing speed before entering [Tiamat] is not very fast. It is difficult to defend the jungle in the hands of the current version of carnivorous jungle heroes.
To be honest, no one is very optimistic about this Kled top laner.
LPL official live broadcast room——
[IG has expanded now? Create the strongest team in the group to practice heroes and lineups? 】
[You don’t trust Director Dow, do you? That's right, as soon as the outside odds drop, he will continue to collect food! 】
[Let’s win first and then talk about it. Don’t get a No. 2 seed. When the top eight meet the other two teams, it won’t be fun to be eliminated early]
[It’s okay, I like what Director Dow said very much. IG can also support EDG. Beating SKT is not just a joke]
[With this lineup, I don’t know how IG can win! 】
However, the lineups of both sides have been officially determined.
Blue side SSG: top laner Rambo, jungler Olaf, mid laner Victor, bottom lane Sivir + Karma.
Red square IG: top laner Kled, jungler Spider, mid laner Syndra, bottom lane Jhin + Zyra.
"Both sides are actually well prepared, especially IG, who took the initiative to come up with a new hero lineup," Miller said eloquently. "In the middle and jungle confrontation, IG still takes the initiative, and both IG in the bottom lane can also get lane rights. ”
"And in the later stage, Kled's ultimate move is actually quite good. It depends on whether IG can achieve the effect."
The audience's cheer sticks kept beating, and the muffled sound echoed throughout the auditorium.
The scene on the big screen changed.
The game officially begins!
After both parties bought their going out clothes, they quickly went out and positioned themselves in a standard one-word long snake formation defensive formation.
In the last version, IG also liked to actively invade, but in the 6.18 version, they basically gave up the idea of level 1 groups.
The most important thing is the change of auxiliary heroes.
A large number of hard assistants and protective assistants with control can only sit on the bench. Without control skills, it is impossible to retain people.
As for the heroes in other positions.
The damage value of skills with control effects is too low. In order to force a level 1 group to retain people, if you return to the line, you will only be pushed into the line and jailed.
No matter how high the consumable auxiliary damage is, it must be able to retain people first. Professional players are not humans and machines, so they just stand there and let you beat them?
Even if it is a human machine, if its health is damaged, it still knows how to hide behind.
Moreover, IG has obtained Zyra. If it delays the initiative to grab the lane in order to invade, resulting in being pushed down the lane, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain.
Therefore, in the current version, there is basically no situation where a group invades the opponent's jungle area at level 1, and it is rare to even use wards to detect the opponent's jungle movements.
Chu Ge stood in the grass in the river, quietly waiting for the troops to come online, and communicating with his teammates.
"Just how many minutes will it take to clear the level?"
Gao Zhenning raised the corner of his mouth, "Ten minutes at most. If he chooses Kenan, it will probably be more difficult to handle. If he chooses Rambo, isn't it just an invitation to military training?"
