Chapter 162 [Follow Samsung to learn how to operate]
Pantheon?
After consuming the memory fragments brought by the system, Chu Ge's face became a little stiff. It was better not to gain proficiency in this hero.
In last year's S5 global finals, the old version of King of War was a hero that was explicitly banned from selection by Riot Games, which was equivalent to the default ban.
Although this version has not been weakened, the conditions for him to appear are a bit too harsh, even more difficult than Riven's.
The main reason is that this hero's fault tolerance rate is too low, and after leaving the laning period, his role will be infinitely weakened.
The ultimate move enters the field and lands. The control skill of the W skill is too long to swing forward, and it is easily interrupted by the opponent's skills. The most important thing is that it is really fragile.
Facing the current version of the poke flow lineup, if you don't get the opponent's crispy skin, you will lose half of your health.
Want to take it out.
Chu Ge really had to think of something.
The time soon came to October 7, the last day of the National Day Golden Week, and the second round of the global finals group stage on the other side of the ocean will be ignited again.
In the past few days, Chu Ge finally pushed his US server account into the top 10. As a result, Baolan became even more powerful, directly overtaking Faker to reach the top of the US server.
As soon as the news came out, the Louvre Museum started to go crazy.
"Okay, brothers, let's all take a rest," Zhu Songsong opened the door and walked to the training room, patting the players' tables one by one. "It's time to watch the game."
The players' rankings and training matches have been full these days, and even Tabe, the most cold and ruthless member of the team, can't stand it anymore.
When the team members were pulled off the computer, their eyes were all red and bloodshot. The team doctor was so frightened that he quickly checked the team members' bodies.
I can only say.
As the two strongest players, Chu Ge and Rookie are constantly training, and the other three team members absolutely dare not relax.
"Eat and watch at the same time," Ge Yan rushed into the training room with a full belly and placed his large and small bags on the conference table. "The competition is interesting when paired with pizza!"
Chu Ge casually took a small bag of chips, crossed his legs on the gaming chair and watched today's game.
Today is the battle to determine the qualification of Group A.
Rox, who ranked first in the group 3-0, took advantage of the situation to face ANX. After a long 70 minutes, the big brother from Russia finally won the victory.
Chu Ge was not too surprised.
This year's wild card competition seems to be completely changing everyone's view of their weak strength and making big news.
INTZ defeated EDG before.
Today's ANX defeating the LCK No. 1 seed will be recorded in history, but Chu Ge also knows that this is also the final glory of their division.
"Isn't it?" King Ning looked at Chu Ge with a strange look, "I remember at that time we all thought it was not a big problem for Rox to win ANX, but you think they can win?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders!" Chu Ge didn't explain too much, and even praised himself, "Brother, I'm smarter and stronger than you, and I can't help but accept it!"
In the doubtful eyes of the team members, something even more outrageous happened next.
ANX once again defeated North America's No. 2 seed CLG in back-to-back games, bringing its record to 3-2!
The North American audience that was originally cheering was silenced by the scene in front of them, and they even forgot to cheer for a while.
After G2 played two consecutive games, their record has reached a five-game losing streak, and they have not won a single game in the entire World Championship.
G2 is the No. 1 seed team in the European Division. Judging from their current record, they are even worse than the wild card division that gave away points.
Just when everyone thought that ANX would stop here, they didn't expect that G2 would continue to be sick.
When the CLG players in the backstage lounge just stood up and prepared to play in the playoffs to compete for the No. 2 seed, ANX just pushed them down.
In less than 20 minutes, ANX took a 10,000 gold lead, and the follow-up team battle was shattered at the first touch. In a wave of team battles in the highlands, the famous clans directly pushed away the opponent's base crystal!
"It's really so outrageous!" Everyone in King Ning was a little confused, "Started 1-2, won the second round straight away, and entered the top eight as a wild card!?"
It’s so outrageous!
"Pigeon, your prediction," Tabe joked with a smile, "Would you like to predict the lottery numbers of Shuangseqiu? We won 50-50!"
Domestic audiences are also joking——
[It seems that EDG did not lose unfairly. Look, Rox has overturned, and the European and American teams have not won the wild cards. 】
[Guigui, this ANX will start to awaken when it reaches the top eight and get the script of the protagonist team, right? 】
[If SKT overturns and is defeated by INTZ the day after tomorrow, then this year’s World Championship will be really interesting. 】
[ANX’s 10-year-old fan won’t come in person! 】
[IG can’t be careless in the second round, otherwise AHQ will fight with its last resort, and it will be really bad if IG is also killed]
Everyone is a person who enjoys watching the fun without taking it too seriously.
But in the last game, Rox refused to continue the upset.
After all, if they lose to CLG again, it means they will be tied with ANX, and the two groups will have to play extra games to compete for the No. 1 seed.
They were on guard and banned all the lineup systems that CLG was best at. In this way, even if Rox used a regular lineup, he could easily win the game.
Finally, the qualifying situation of Group A was officially confirmed.
Rox ranked first with a 5-1 record, while ANX entered the quarterfinals as the No. 2 seed with a 4-2 success.
October 8th, the second day of the group stage.
Group C games have also started.
Chu Ge came to the arena for the first time in a long time, and won a furious battle against the two teams in Group D. After reaching 5-0 to ensure qualifying, everyone turned their attention to Wangcheng.
Chu Ge smiled and asked, "Have you decided what to get for the champion skin?"
Although it was only the group stage and the horoscope of the champion had not yet been revealed, it was still possible to say this behind closed doors.
Wang Cheng’s eyes were firm, “VN!”
For Wuxx, his purpose of taking VN is very simple, which is to continue to fight why RNG kicked Uzi after signing him!
Why!
As soon as the words came out, Wang Boqin slapped him on the head, "You are implying that I will give you a VN to choose your skin in the next game, right?"
In this version that emphasizes the right to route, choosing the C position of a big core is tantamount to committing suicide. Heroes who can clear the lane as tools are the eternal gods!
How could Wang Cheng be chosen?
"It doesn't matter," Wang Cheng smiled and touched his head, "Actually, it doesn't matter what you choose. If you can win the World Championship, you will probably be happy for a few years."
In the current environment that is shrouded in the shadow of the LCK division, for most players in the LPL, they can really win the championship in the hands of the Korean team represented by SKT.
It's definitely a blast.
IG's third game was against SSG again.
If they win this game, they will go straight to the quarterfinals as the No. 1 seed. But if they lose the game by accident, they will have the same points as Samsung. Playoffs to compete for the No. 1 seed.
Through their bloody game style in the first five games, IG completely conquered the North American audience, and received huge applause when they took the stage again.
The commentators for this game are Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan.
"Both teams are in very good shape today. Neither team has made any substitutions. I wonder if IG can double defeat Samsung today!"
After the last round of matches, both sides have a certain understanding of each other's playing styles. IG's reckless attributes left a deep impression on SSG coach Edger.
The three Bans on the blue side all invested in the top order.
And SSG played more cautiously in this game.
Cuvee is no longer laning with Chu Ge. Choosing Poppy is a wretched last-hitting development. This means that although Chu Ge has lane rights and last-hit suppression, he cannot really open up the situation.
And SSG is indeed a team that plays operations. It withstood IG's early offensive and dragged the game into the mid-term line-changing period, constantly using its own field of vision advantage to encroach on IG's outer tower.
Leader An liberated Crown Brother in the middle in advance, which caused greater pressure from the middle to radiate to the sidelines.
Ambition showed its ability to control the jungle and can always find King Ning's position on the map. However, Rookie did not have an advantage in the middle lane and it was difficult to help the jungle.
And Brother Crown was liberated.
The middle was liberated, and the first thing to suffer was IG's sidelines. IG, which had been attacking so fast in the first 15 minutes, seemed to have misfired, and the headwind game looked a bit chaotic.
But
Rambo, who was struggling, still found a wave of opportunities.
At 19 minutes and 23 seconds, when the opponent Nosuke was grouping together in the jungle to gain vision, he launched a wave of perfect ultimate moves to fully damage the opponent and divide the battlefield.
Chu Ge chose to betray himself without hesitation, fully damaging all the damage until his teammates came over, and fought a 1-for-4 team battle at the expense of himself.
Both C's are present.
IG took down the dragon without hesitation and sounded the clarion call for counterattack. IG repeatedly forced team fights, and SSG's vision battle entered a state of paralysis.
Rookie shark crazy!
The clockwork ultimate move was given to King Ning's Olaf, and he flashed in to pull 1 and 4. Sapphire's Zyra connected with the control and created a control chain again.
Rambo's skyfire descended and melted the SSG!
Finally, when the two sides fought for 30 minutes, SSG's lineup was completely unable to take over the team, and IG pushed away the base crystal in a wave!
"Win! Win!" Guan Zeyuan shouted excitedly, "IG made a successful comeback, found a flaw under SSG's extreme operation, and finally won the game with difficulty!"
"It's not easy. We rarely see IG beaten like this," Su Xiaoyan lamented. "Their vision layout is still a problem. I think they must pay attention to this issue in the quarterfinals."
SSG's ability to put IG at a disadvantage in the early and mid-term, which is good at attacking, is actually equivalent to providing new ideas to other teams.
As long as he stays on the road and resists Chu Ge's laning pressure, then Ning Wang will naturally not be able to play the game comfortably, and the jungler will be completely liberated.
No wonder IG wants to ban Poppy.
In addition to preventing Kled's lineup from being restricted, there is also a deeper reason to mix in the lane and ensure that the lane does not collapse!
The game goes live.
There are many samples for data analysis that can be used for reference. The winning rate of the team that wins the first health tower soared to 91.2%, as long as it failed to withstand the offensive pressure in the early stage.
Then the rhythm of the game is like entering the fast lane, the car door is instantly welded shut, and no one in the car can escape.
"Double kill SSG! IG successfully advanced to the knockout rounds as the first in Group C! This is the strength of the LPL No. 1 seed!"
Guan Zeyuan was emotional, "This IG has successfully washed away last year's defeat, and this year they are still moving forward with an extremely strong momentum!"
Inside the LPL official live broadcast room——
【Still want to play in the extra match? As long as I, Director Dow, are here, there will never be a script! 】
[The curse of the No. 1 seed is broken! The LPL's No. 1 seed finally qualified as first in the group stage again! 】
[The pressure now comes to RNG and EDG! Can you learn from IG? They will give you a sample! 】
[This is the charm of top Rambo. Can you Cuvee? Director Dow is teaching you how to play Rambo! 】
The director showed a close-up, and the faces of all the IG players on the field were filled with joy after the comeback, and Chu Ge also breathed a sigh of relief.
Samsung's vision control is really good.
However, they still ignored a very important factor. In today's version, vision battles cannot be used to win games stably.
This is a fast-paced version, which causes the equipment and damage of both sides to start very quickly. The online poke and consumption will infinitely affect the front of SSG.
The support is too fragile, so someone must protect the vision, otherwise it will only take a few seconds to catch it, and you will not be able to react at all.
If SSG faces weak teams, their operating model can still be effective, but in front of a bunch of reckless guys like IG, if you dare to have fewer people, I dare to take over the team with you.
CoreJJ doesn't dare to go overboard with vision at all. It's completely nonsense to just rely on Ambition's green jungle knife to fight for vision.
Another aspect.
The fast pace means that everyone will choose cheaper equipment to maximize the price/performance ratio. If SSG forces the purchase of real eyes, the combat effectiveness opportunities of both sides will be quickly opened up.
Why was Chu Ge's perfect ultimate move able to win the team battle even though he was 6,000 yuan behind in economic disadvantage?
SSG's frequent purchase of real eyes is indispensable. The advantage in vision has not been transformed into the ability to seize opportunities. This has led to the fact that the equipment gap between the two sides is not very big.
Either I melt you, or you melt me.
"Beautiful, Pigeon!" Prince Ning tremblingly hugged Chu Ge's shoulders, "You are always able to stand out in the key group. From now on, I will call you Mr. Key!"
"SSG?"
Chu Ge raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of disdain, "To be honest, I think they are just like the top eight. Maybe they will swim back when they encounter a wild card!"
"Don't be shy!" Rookie's eyes also showed a trace of longing. This is the first time he has entered the knockout stage of the World Championship. "If you let SSG meet the wild card, doesn't it mean that you are letting them pass the semi-finals?"
In Chu Ge's world, SSG was able to become the world runner-up, and the script they received was simply a green light. No matter whether it was the top eight or the top four, they did not encounter a strong team.
Call them strong. They made it to the finals.
Call them weak. Rox and SKT took care of all the strong teams, and it was a mess to compete with Europe and the United States.
"Let's go, let's shake hands."
Chu Ge stood up.
Since Rambo's proficiency is at the [Grandmaster Level (S+)], this also allows Chu Ge to perform the operations in his mind normally, without the situation that Riven lost last time.
Everyone lingered for a while before walking to the other side of the player bench to shake hands with the SSG players.
The big advantage was overturned.
For a stable team like SSG, this is definitely a hard fact to accept. Who knew that a team that was good at playing in the early game would be so capable of seizing opportunities in the mid-term!
It's not that losing to IG is unacceptable. In fact, if they handle their team a little better and don't lose the baron, there is still an 80% probability of winning.
It’s crazy to watch the game, congratulations to EDG! There is no butter today, no one is allowed to use chopsticks at the celebration party!
