Chapter 185 [Is this the championship coach? 】
In the era of sluts, there were actually many well-known top laners in the LPL. Strawberry, Gogoing and Shenchao were all representatives of various teams.
But today's Chu Ge is not only the one who has just kicked off Smeb, who was crowned the world's top top laner, but he is also a junior of his old club.
PDD has said more than once in his live broadcast that after so many years in the industry, the thing he regrets most is letting go of Dow as a free agent.
Otherwise
This year's YM will not fail to pass the LPL six times.
"As I said before, I won't support a match with Dow!" PDD suddenly said seriously, "Even if his opponent is the most powerful legendary team in the history of the league, IG will be fearless and win the final championship. ! ”
"Tell me the number." Miller agreed.
“Let’s go 3:0!”
"I think it's reliable to win the championship game 3:2," Wawa added. "IG and SKT don't have any record of playing against each other. To be on the safe side, I still think they can win twice!"
PDD and the doll looked at Miller at the same time.
"Both of you think IG can win," he said with a sly smile. "Then you must give me a kick. I think 3:1. After all, it would be shameful for SKT to have their heads shaved."
The three of them chatted for a few more words, and then the baby heard the notification in the headset, immediately ended the conversation, and cut the live broadcast to the scene.
All the camera seats at the Staples Hall have been prepared. At this time, the audience holding red and blue fluorescent sticks around the hall kept waving and cheering one after another.
The space in the middle of Staples is too small to build a large stage, so the same method as the holographic projection in San Francisco in the group stage was used.
On the blue projection of the countdown, the countdown numbers kept beating. When it reached '00:10', the entire audience stood up and shouted:
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
The Los Angeles audience has developed the habit of chanting in the Lakers' passionate confrontations all year round, and their fanaticism is a little more open than the domestic audience!
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
At the moment when the countdown ended, the screens of the audience on the other side of the ocean went black, and then the fist logo symbolizing Riot shattered the screen.
The cheers of the audience reached a climax!
On the left side of the dark stage, a faint blue light suddenly lit up. A man with a figure that looked like a sumo wrestler shook his baton in his hand, and the violinist of the symphony orchestra in front of him played the prelude.
The camera gradually zoomed out, the man raised the baton in his hand, and the symphony orchestra suddenly played the theme song of this world competition "2016Championship2016"!
At the same time, the Hex chest projected onto the center of the stage appeared in front of the 20,000 audience. As the key was inserted and rotated, the red and blue Summoner's Rift suddenly descended.
Immediately afterwards, the logo symbolizing the summoner appeared, and the shadows of Spider, Ashe, Annie, and Nami appeared one after another. The fancy ultimate skills were slapped in the Hex treasure box. Amidst the colorful special effects, the symphony ended.
The camera cuts again.
A golden fortress-like DJ booth appeared in the center of the stage. The man wearing a hat suddenly raised the microphone in his hand and sang the S6 theme song "Ignite".
As a passionate electronic music track, it is in sharp contrast to the previously magnificent and refreshing symphony.
At the moment when the projection screen and the stage performance ended, the final promotional video MV also began to play on the projection screen and the water drop screen on the top of the stage.
The camera shot appeared in a retro building. A promotional poster for the six members of IG was prominently posted on the billboard on the wall. The flickering light of the street lights, which was on and off, was accompanied by the squeaking sound of electricity.
As the camera moves, a huge team logo of the IG team is posted on top of the building, and a whole wall of Avengers is graffitied in English next to it!
As the audience screamed and shouted, the camera of the promotional video zoomed into a room in a dilapidated building. In the Segpunk-style room, there were TVs with flashing black and white screens.
"According to media reports, October 29, 2016."
Before everyone could recall it, the sexy female anchor's announcement suddenly stopped, and the Summoner icon appeared again on the color TV screen.
The man shrouded in a blue and gray hat slowly looks towards the camera. The ID name "Dow" engraved on the left chest of his clothes makes it difficult to look away.
"The God-Killing Battle. It's today!"
The live broadcast room that was broadcast around the world went completely crazy at this time. The man sitting under the red brim under the afterglow of the West Coast suddenly raised his head.
A fluorescent titanium alloy steel sword suddenly floated in front of the man's eyes. The sharp sword energy blew off his sweater and hat, revealing his true face.
Faker!
Amid the beat of music, the scene switches again.
The five SKT players who transformed into the red army hugged each other tightly, shrouded in the lightning-filled field of the Rune Mage, forming a thick protective shield.
Opposite them, Chu Ge, who was wearing a blue army uniform, slashed hard at the protective shield with his sword, followed closely by the other team members who also appeared on stage.
When Baolan's last sword fell on the protective shield.
The red and blue rays of light suddenly burst!
The screen changes again!
The silver Summoner's Trophy appeared on the beach, with SKT and IG players standing on both sides. Rookie and Faker stood looking at each other with their arms crossed!
The promo is over!
"Welcome to the finals of the 2016 League of Legends Global Finals, I am your old friend Riv!"
The familiar host with a white beard stood next to the Summoner's Trophy and shouted with great enthusiasm, "After a month of fierce competition between 16 teams, two final teams were finally born, and today! At Staples Center On this stage, the strongest player in this year’s global finals will be born!”
"Next, let's invite the players from both sides to appear!"
Under the shouts, the host waved towards the left side of the stage, and the lights suddenly lit up the other side of the stage, "First up are the two-time global finals champions, the No. 2 seed team from the LCK, SktlelecomT1!”
As soon as he finished speaking, gorgeous fireworks shot out!
"Top laner Duke, jungle laner Bengi, mid laner Faker"
The host did not pause deliberately, but at this time the situation in the hall no longer supported him to continue the introduction.
The 20,000 spectators at the scene could not contain their inner excitement, and the entire hall seemed to have agreed to collectively shout Faker.
As the most popular Faker in the world, both in terms of glory and strength, he has enough capital to support the love of the North American audience!
It's just a pity.
Lee Sang Hyuk can only wave his hands on the stage to greet the audience, otherwise according to his temperament, he would have copied the tumbling action that he debuted last year.
Since the host was still introducing the SKT players, the seven IG people on the right side were able to hide in the darkness under the dense lights, whispering to each other.
"Old Song," King Ning stomped his feet so hard that the surrounding stage shook twice, attracting Rookie's attention, "When do you think we will be as popular as Faker!"
“I’m so envious that my J2 turns purple!”
Which professional player doesn't want to become a representative of the League of Legends and the god in the mouths of fans around the world?
Even in the twilight years of his career, or even after retirement, mentioning a certain player's ID can remind people of the man who once stood on the top of the mountain.
Because there were too many voices in the clubhouse, Gao Zhenning yelled twice before Song Yijin could hear him, "I don't have such ideals and ambitions. Being able to step onto the stage of the finals and face SKT at the top is already far beyond my imagination."< br>
Compared with King Ning's big heart, Rookie's mentality has never been very good, and he is not as optimistic as Gao Zhenning.
The audience's voices gradually became fainter, and the host Riv finally found a chance to interrupt and continue to introduce the remaining SKT players.
"Bot lane Bang, support Wolf, substitute Blank and SKT's meritorious coach Kkoma!"
Everyone in SKT waved their hands.
After Kkoma was cheated by the mole Xiaohei in the two semi-finals, he also learned from the pain this week and finally decided to continue with last year's champion jungler Bengi.
After all, he knew very well that even SSG, a team with a more pure operation than his own, had been beaten by IG twice in a row. If he continued to play operations, he would definitely be overwhelmed by a strong team-building lineup like Kled Spider.
The stage lights on the left turn off, returning to the host again.
"Let us invite the LPL No. 1 seed team to enter the global finals for the first time, Invictus Gaming!"
“Dow on top order!”
On the four screens suspended on the stage, video moments of the highlights of Kled, Sword Princess and Rambo, who have been in trouble since the global finals, are played.
Before the host could continue to introduce the other team members.
Chu Ge, who was standing at the front of IG, faced forward, twisted his shoulders, put his index finger on his eyebrows with a half-hand palm, and slowly moved his fingers upward.
The cameraman zooms in!
Chu Ge's handsome face and piercing eyes were shown on the big screen, looking extremely confident and cool.
“Jungle Ning!”
Amid the cheers of the audience, Riv continued to introduce the IG players, and King Ning made an Ultramar flying gesture!
"Mid laner Rookie!"
Song Yijin originally refused to take this shameful action, but in the end he couldn't resist Chu Ge and made a gesture of raising his buttocks and pointing his hands back to take off.
I heard that this Pose is called
Big fly!
Specifically used to mock Faker!
Rookie really couldn't refuse, Chu Ge really gave too much.
"ADCarryWuxx!"
Wang Cheng's movements were relatively simple. He crossed his arms and looked seriously down the stage. His mushroom head looked a bit inconsistent with the other three teammates.
"Assist Baolan!"
Wang Liuyi, who is a little transparent, seems to have broken through himself, imitating the "very 6+1" posture that Wolf showed at the opening ceremony of the group stage.
Declare war directly on the Wolf Warriors!
"Substitute jungler Kid!"
The child Youshen didn't do any fancy moves. After all, throughout IG's journey to the global finals, he was one of the 443 passersby who had no existence.
"Coach Mafa!"
Yuan Shanyan shook his body from side to side and waved his hands to greet everyone.
The reason why they took this pose was, of course, to make the atmosphere more lively. E-sports is not just about attracting fans by standing around.
Image is also important!
In the audience, the North American audience liked the unconventional Pose, and gave even more enthusiastic cheers and percussions to the IG players' action design!
At this time, Riv was smiling and shouted, "Okay, let's invite the players from both sides to enter. The long-awaited final is about to begin!"
The rising dry ice spray and the swaying spotlights heightened the stage atmosphere to the extreme, and the entire venue was like a hornet's nest about to be ignited.
Extremely enthusiastic!
"Hello audience friends! Welcome to the Staples Center!" Watanabe's tone was a bit sad, "Three years have passed, and we finally came to this club again!"
The 2013 final was also narrated by Wawa.
At that time, his wife Baobao was still working as a host in the LPL, and there was no Miller on the final stage at that time.
After all, that was the time.
Miller is still using practical actions to tell a certain bicycle: Shadow Demon is still suitable for that version!
Now that he comes to Staples Center for the first time, he also wants to tell the world, "We can't sit in a time machine and change the result of S3 being zero-blocked. But three years have passed and times have changed. When we come here again In this clubhouse, we once again have the capital to win the championship again! ""We have reason to believe that after defeating SSG in the group and defeating the LCK No. 1 seed with a crushing 3:1 in the semi-finals, IG can easily defeat LCK! No. 2 seed!”
"This IG," Miller said excitedly, "has been performing miracles since entering the World Championship. When our two teams failed to reach the quarterfinals, and the audience shook their heads in despair, IG single-handedly broke through the LCK. blockade, standing on the stage of the finals!”
"And today, we have reason to believe."
"This IG, which everyone jokingly claims to have obtained the Avengers script, is about to win our first championship in the LPL region!"
PDD looked happy and shouted, "If IG can win the championship in the hands of SKT, I will personally send gifts worth 50W to all summoners in the live broadcast room!"
The commentators spoke to each other to arouse the emotions of the audience in the live broadcast room. After all, sitting in front of the computer, you cannot feel the atmosphere in the warm environment like the live audience.
A qualified commentator or host should allow the audience to feel the intensity of the game.
In the championship voting session opened on the Internet, the support for both teams was overwhelming. IG's chances of winning were generally not optimistic, and it was considered that there were only two cities.
Although the domestic audience also hopes that their team will win the final championship, after experiencing the defeats from S3 to S5, many viewers who are brainless in LPL have gradually calmed down.
This year's S6 IG is indeed very strong, but SKT's invincible operation and comeback capabilities really restrain IG.
The reason why IG has a 20% winning rate.
Or they won the group stage with a 6:0 victory. The quarterfinals was purely a good game for IG for many viewers.
As for defeating RoxTiger
It has indeed allowed many people on the Internet to see a different side of IG.
But in fact
RoxTiger has never defeated SKT!
At this time, the director also gave a preview of the data of both teams. There is no doubt that IG is far ahead in all data except game duration.
SKT's average game length is nearly 40 minutes.
This is also a microcosm of their tactical strategy and lineup in this World Championship. In today's fast-paced offensive session that favors the early and mid-term, SKT's operations are particularly outstanding.
Falling into a disadvantage during the laning phase, they began to use their best mode when entering the laning phase, and began to constantly exchange resources with the opponent through the line of troops, and then actively looked for the opponent's flaws to make a comeback.
Therefore, the way they play the game and the audience watching the game, it is destined to be a bladder game. Even if they go to the bathroom and come back, the head count will still be the same.
But there is nothing we can do.
Version factors account for most of the reasons.
This version of the mainstream lineup lacks team initiating and control, and the lineup is too fragile. They are all Poke-type heroes with long hands.
This leads to a very serious problem.
When the advantageous side obtains it, sometimes it will be difficult to advance without the Baron BUFF. If they jump over the tower rashly and lack front row and control, the disadvantaged side will not be able to find opportunities.
But it can disgust you and wear down your patience all the time.
This is what SKT is best at doing.
Otherwise, they would not be on the semi-final stage with SSG. The average length of the five games was 46:43. Without a strong bladder, SKT would not be able to play the game.
"We have received news," Miller broadcast the director's information to the audience, "SKT got a head start in the coin toss, and they will have priority in selecting sides in games one, three, and five."
"They took the initiative to choose the blue side in the first game."
As soon as he finished speaking, with a sonorous sound, the director put the BP on the screen onto the big screen at the scene.
"SKT proactively banned Dow's Jayce!"
Duke's Jace is not good.
As the former single-kill king of the LCK, warrior heroes are a compulsory course. Whether it is Sword Girl, Jayce or Riven, they all have high proficiency.
However, in SKT, the top laner's role is not only to be able to take out the split push, but also to take into account the role of front row and team initiating.
In fact, you can refer to EDG.
After all, Guodian is also known as Little SKT.
"IG took the initiative to ban Leopard Girl," Miller thought for a moment and continued, "I remember Bengi didn't play Leopard Girl very much, right? But this version of Nidalee is really OP, so you're right to be careful."< br>
"This final is a bit interesting."
PDD couldn't help but smile and said, "The junglers on both sides don't know how to play wild core heroes. This can save a lot of things."
"The main reason is that the core players of both teams are not in the jungle," Miller added. "If King Ning and Bengi have to eat up resources, IG's core top lane and SKT's core mid lane will have problems."
Before he finished speaking, SKT took the initiative to block Bomberman, while IG took the initiative to ban Syndra.
Bomberman showed his dominance in the bottom lane in the semi-finals, and Wuxx was the first player to take it out in the global finals.
And
Banning Bomberman on the blue side means that both sides can design Zyra and the female gun.
"This is the most annoying thing about the red side's BP in the current version," PDD sighed, "IG basically never blocked Syndra in the semifinals!"
Mainly, faker's traditional mage proficiency is a bit strong, and Syndra happens to be in his hero pool, which is different from Kuro, a support-oriented player.
In the last move, SKT gave Kled the banned position, while IG put Ryze in the banned position.
"The final partner positions of both sides are very targeted," Miller saw the clue at a glance.
"Looking at the current system of the World Championship, only IG can play the Kled Spider system, which can very restrain SKT from dragging down the pace of operations in the mid-term."
"Furthermore, the Dow player's Kled's online single-kill ability over the tower is a bit exaggerated," PDD added. "If coach Kkoma understands, it is estimated that today's Bo5 is unlikely to be given to IG." < br>
"Ryze, as the hero who contributed to Faker's two world championships, has now received a second redesign, but Dow also showed the strength of this hero to audiences around the world in the summer games."
“It’s normal for IG to be afraid of one hand.”
SKT grabbed the ice first.
"SKT's choice of Han Bing was very smart!" Miller couldn't help but praise. "Not only did it contain IG's move to grab Zyra, but it also took apart the female gun!"
"And"
Wawa couldn't help but recall, "In the semi-finals, Bang's Han Bing showed a very good ability to open up the field of vision, and it was 100% locked in the position and rhythm of the leader An."
"And the most important thing is that for SKT's tactical system, this hero is both offensive and defensive!"
"After all, everyone knows that SKT's global finals this year are basically a comeback game, and they rarely gain an advantage in the early stage."
"Although IG and SKT have no record of playing against each other, it is actually very easy to judge the strengths and weaknesses of both parties by referring to the game between SKT and RoxTiger!"
Mafa already guessed Kkoma's thoughts when SKT blocked Bomberman, but it didn't matter.
Compared to Ice, Wuxx is still better at Jhin.
After locking Jhin down, lock down Karma, so SKT can only take Nami or Zyra.
As for the female gun
This hero is originally designed to target Zyra, but the effect is not very good, and it is easy to be swayed by IG's Karma and choose something weird.
SKT is not in a hurry to get support heroes.
First block the big core Victor in the middle, and then block the troll.
Even Chu Ge frowned when he saw the SKT players. Under normal circumstances, the Troll as a top unit must be used to counter the opponent's tank top laner.
But at this time, IG didn't choose the top order at all.
Used as a jungler?
Bengi has never been used in previous games, and this hero IG was originally developed to deal with Olaf's jungle design.
But Olaf didn't come out either!
"Will it be used as a support?" Baolan suggested, "In the last version, Troll and Karma were also old rivals in the support position."
Mafa nodded.
"Then let's select the midfielder first, leave the counter position to the pigeons, and then look at the opponent's complete lineup!"
While talking.
King Ning and Rookie decided on their hero choices respectively, and decisively took down the midfielder group of Olaf and Clockwork.
"Wow!"
PDD was surprised, "SKT dared to lock down Olaf first when the troll came out first. This is because they knew Bengi would not use the troll!"
This choice.
This made Kkoma frown.
IG's BP is in Ganshenmo?
Among the three-way swing, the jungle position has the greatest impact. Unexpectedly, the opposite coach directly locked Olaf in advance?
"Haocheng," Kkoma reacted quickly and patted his top laner on the shoulder, "I originally wanted to force IG's counter to be left to the jungler, but I didn't expect that they wouldn't take the move!"
As coach Kkoma who is always ahead of the game, he is very aware of the importance of IG's top laner to them.
If BP can be slightly restricted and Duke can get CounterDow heroes, it will be equivalent to replicating the third game of IG and Rox.
"It's okay!"
The unlucky bear waved his hand casually, "What should I choose, coach?"
Kkoma thought for a moment.
Lock down Gnar and the blind monk.
"You still want to lie to me?" Mafa shook his head. To be honest, Kkoma, the championship coach, does have something, but it's not like coaching under Yuan Shanyan.
This year's IG can be said to be the richest battle it has fought.
Are you still afraid of being swayed by you?
"Get me Kennen," Chu Ge rummaged through his hero pool. "I can easily beat Gnar in the lane, and it's not bad for me to enter the mid-to-late teamfight with SKT."
"Okay!"
Baolan locked Chu Ge's hero in 5L.
The lineups of both sides are finally determined:
Blue side SKT: top laner Gnar, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Victor, bottom lane Ice + Troll.
Red square IG: top laner Kennen, jungler Olaf, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Jhin + Karma!
Apologize first!
Something happened tonight and I couldn't finish yesterday's supplementary code. Today it's only 6,000.
Last month, there were more than 900 monthly votes. According to the agreement, 4 chapters (8,000 words) should be added, and I will slowly add them.
(End of chapter)
