Chapter 246 [The final is coming]
Since Su Xiaoluo took the players out to celebrate last night, the post-match review originally scheduled for the evening was arranged by Tabe in the afternoon.
At this stage of the main playoffs, other teams have already started taking vacations in advance, and IG cannot make appointments for training matches.
Arranged at this time, after the post-match review is completed, you can also pay attention to today's semi-finals in the second half.
Tabe mainly summarized some problems in the first set without wasting too much time.
The team members soon returned to the training room one after another and entered the live broadcast room to watch the second half of today's game.
"If we don't give the opponent a chance, I guess it will be difficult for EDG to win today." Chu Ge expressed his opinion, "Coach Hoome's ability to train players is obvious to all."
"This year 2.0 fought us twice, each time more difficult than the last!"
Tabe nodded, understanding.
His drafting in the LPL this spring has been relatively smooth. The hero pool of his top, middle and jungle players is very deep, which allows him to get the tactics he wants at any position on the red and blue sides.
However, although Homme's BP is not very impressive, he can always dismantle Tabe's tactics just right, and finally let him get the most unfavorable lineup.
So.
Compared to EDG's head coach Nofe, Tabe doesn't want to meet this year's WE head coach. Who knows what kind of trouble this guy will cause him in the finals!
The semi-finals of the second half have officially begun.
really!
WE still played around the bottom half, while Homme played his own way. He also gave WE a lineup that centered around the bottom half.
Both sides will focus on the lower half!
However...
The key point that determines the outcome of the game later is on the top lane!
957 showed an extraordinary competitive state. He first successfully suppressed Mouse in the top lane, forcing out Mouse's TP, and then used the leading TP to attack the bottom lane, helping his own bottom lane to establish an advantage!
In this version without the "Tapi" mechanism, the TP of the top laner is almost always used to support teammates in attacking!
Because there is no "Tapi", you don't need to worry about TP supporting other lanes, which will cause losses to your own lane.
This is also the reason why IG is always unfavorable on the field. Chu Ge can always use his personal ability to force out the opponent's top laner's TP in advance, so that the opponent will have concerns when attacking.
Because our top laner does not have TP, and Chu Ge has TP, if he attacks rashly and is supported by Chu Ge’s TP, it is very likely that there will be a series of explosions!
It is very simple for IG to organize an attack, because the top laner can always lead the TP, which means that they will always have one more person than the opponent when attacking! !
final.
WE did not disappoint their supporters either.
3-0!
Defeating EDG with some ease and successfully advancing to the finals will become IG's opponent in the spring finals! .
It can be seen from the results of the Spring Split how strong last year's IG was. WE2.0 immediately soared after having an ace coaching staff.
With both sides having a chance of winning, the finals will be destined to be a visual feast for the audience.
All members of IG set out for the host city of this year’s spring finals.
Nanjing!
This year's finals will be held at the Olympic Sports Center in Nanjing. It is still a top-notch sports venue that can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators, and the tickets for the finals have been sold out early!
Many people online have spent several times the price to get a ticket, which shows the high level of attention this competition has received! !
It was said that there was nearly a week to rest and adjust.
But in fact, it takes nearly 2 days to coordinate with the official to shoot various promotional materials for the finals, leaving only 2-3 days for the two teams to prepare.
Without an appointment for a training match, the team can only maintain its competitive status by focusing on Korean server ranking, and then spend time studying the opponent's game videos.
Of course
One good thing about IG is that the former members of the second team still don't have any holidays. They are all at the base helping the first team of old teammates train crazy.
But...
The IG players also do other things!
The LPL competition area is divided into two groups, A and B, due to the large number of participating teams, so the schedule is the longest among all major competition areas. The other major competition areas have already decided the winner one after another.
TSM in North America finally won the cup, and in the European division, the G2 team, which learned from the experience of various teams, also dominated the European division!
Defeated the traditional giant Fnatic in the finals, locked in the European Spring Championship, and also locked in a ticket to MSI!
Immediately after winning the championship, perkz was active on Twitter.
G2's official Twitter immediately reposted perkz's personal Twitter, and even included a classic picture.
It was a god of death carrying a scythe and knocking on the door one after another. The door that was knocked at the front had the Fnatic team's logo printed on it. The blood stains on the ground represented that they had just been defeated by G2.
The next person to knock on the door is the IG team.
To know.
Last year's IG was called the Avengers, knocking on the doors of all S6 teams one by one, and finally completed their world championship achievement.
Obviously.
After G2 experienced G2-8 last year, this year after their personnel reorganization, they are also confidently preparing to repeat IG's Avengers script last year.
As for today?
Today is the day of the LCK Spring Finals.
The two sides of the game are the LZ team versus the SKT team!
"This year's LZ is actually quite similar to ours last year." Little Peanut looked at his old teammates with an aunty smile on his face, "Khan and Cuzz are still very good players!"
LSPL’s khan returning home!
Compared with S6's Roxtiger, this LZ mid laner is stronger.
BDD's personal ability is much stronger than Han Hu's kuro.
As for khan?
He couldn't even beat Mouse in the LSPL. When he returned to the LCK, he seemed to have been opened up by someone, killing all the top laners in the LCK.
The most important thing is that he is very similar to Chu Ge.
Due to the [Power of the Colossus], the top lane was still dominated by tanks. As a result, he was a thief who played against the version of Jace.
In the LCK, his Jayce is someone who must be targeted by his opponents!
"It's okay, it just depends on whether BDD is also technophobic when facing faker." Rookie said the most critical point!
If you want to defeat SKT, the key is to not be at a disadvantage when facing faker in the mid lane.
A large part of the reason why Roxtiger couldn't beat SKT was that Kuro in the middle suffered from severe 'phobia' and had a -50 IQ debuff when facing Faker.
"It's okay, as long as BDD can perform normally." Liu Qingsong had a different view, "This year's SKT is weaker than last year, and Lao Song's former teammate Kakao is not in as good a state as expected"
The two people who joined SKT during the transfer period were top laner Huni and jungle king Kakao. In order to repay their family's debts, they had no choice but to return to the professional arena to continue making money.
Kakao's strength is not weak.
In the KT.A team in S4, he was considered the pinnacle player of Bengi's generation, and was even said to have defeated Dandy, the strongest jungler of the year.
It was also easy for Huni to come to SKT.
When he was in the LCK commentary booth of the S6 Global Finals, he once commented on an IG game with two e-sports seniors, but his words were slapped in the face during that game.
Just right
SKT is interested in Huni's personal ability. He controls thunder and lightning on the top lane in the European and American competitions, and he has even used top laner Snake and top laner Lucian.
He and Du Buchuan will rotate with him. If Hu Burou starts to get sick, the veteran will return to the stage to replace him in the game.
The result...
Once he returned to the LCK, he seemed to have come out of his shell.
He struck hard against the weak team's top laner, but when faced with top laners like Smeb and Khan, he showed submissiveness.
Almost all games SKT lost were due to problems in the jungle. The reason why SKT was able to advance to the finals was because the personal strength of Faker and Bang, the double C, was strong and solid enough, and their tactical execution was here. In Chu Ge’s memory.
The team S7 represents the LCK in MSI is SKT.
But now that the world line has completely changed, he is not very sure what it will look like in the end!
After all, Little Peanut is now on IG, and Kakao has now changed his playing style, and is a bit like a stupid chicken, linking up crazily with Faker.
And if Little Peanut is in SKT.
It is completely consuming his career, and his spirituality will also be wasted by KKoma.
At this time.
Tabe opened his mouth and gave a different answer.
"SKT may have a certain chance!"
Tabe's judgment is entirely due to version changes.
The two versions of 7.6 and 7.7 have strengthened the talents of hard assists, so that the bottom lane is no longer exclusively soft assists. At the end of the regular season in both LCK and LPL, the appearance rate of hard assists has begun to slowly increase. It is no longer what it was before. That way there is no chance of forcing the assistant to play.
Don't underestimate this change, it will have a huge impact on a team like LZ that focuses on the road! !
The reason is simple.
If you have soft assistants in the bottom lane, the team as a whole will lack point control and push, and others will be able to force you away! !
SKT's tactical execution is extremely strong, and their experience is rich enough. If the LZ team continues to follow their previous tactics, SKT may seize the opportunity to overthrow them!
"It's long past time to give the hard support a chance to play." Liu Qingsong curled his lips, "The bottom lane in the game now makes me feel like I'm playing Brawl. I choose a long-handed Diudiu monster and leave out the hiding soldiers. Throwing skills at each other behind the line.”
"A real man should look for opportunities to fight in close combat!!"
"Are you sure you don't want to give the hard assistant a chance to play because you don't want to practice the soft assistant's laning skills?" Chu Ge could see through Xiao Jiujiu's heart at a glance.
In a version where hard assists are rampant, the operational requirements for assists are actually not that high.
What’s more important is the auxiliary player’s team-building awareness and ability to seize opportunities! !
Only soft support can truly reflect a support player's laning strength.
Liu Qingsong's soft assistant is average, but his hard assistant is good at starting a group and has strong ability to seize opportunities and roam.
“Pigeons see through but don’t tell!”
"I'm telling you, don't be lazy! Practice your soft skills for me!"
Chu Ge bluntly pointed out Liu Qingsong's faults. If it were the S8 version, Chu Ge would never force it.
But this is S7! !
It is the version of the incense burner monster. The incense burner monster can even determine the outcome of the game!
On the premise of knowing the version clearly, Chu Ge must of course make different demands on Liu Qingsong!
If Liu Qingsong fails to train his soft assistant, he does not recommend giving advice to the management and letting JackeyLove and Xiao Ming return to the IG first team to continue playing.
Liu Qingsong was thoughtful, staring into Chu Ge's eyes for a long time without saying anything.
He knows.
Chu Ge was not joking with him.
Tabe often inadvertently taught them a truth, that is, Riot's real weakening of last year's championship team started in the summer split after MSI.
Whatever IG is good at, then Riot designers will cut it accordingly.
Although IG has made countless attempts in this year's spring split to allow the team to use tactics in the lower half as much as possible, the actual effect is not very satisfactory.
If Chu Ge and Xiao Peanut cannot gain advantages in their respective areas, Rookie will not be able to drag the team forward alone.
To put it bluntly.
Lin Weixiang still lacks experience in the top league, and Liu Qingsong is not very skilled as a conductor. After all, his three players are all top star players in the league.
Even if Chu Ge and the others didn't mind, he would still have some thoughts in his heart.
Moreover
If after MSI, Riot really makes the lower half the main version point, then soft support will inevitably become the key point of the version.
When the time comes, let alone the female tank he is good at, there is a high probability that even Thresh will be on the bench.
His three-axe hero pool will eventually become the team's shortcoming.
To know!
A large part of the reason why last year's IG was able to gain a huge advantage in BP was because Baolan and Chu Ge had a lot of new things to come up with.
The depth of support heroes is important!
Thinking of this, Liu Qingsong pursed his lips and made up his mind to completely train the soft support hero during MSI!
Even one will do!
Chu Ge took a bag of potato chips, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and watched the LCK finals.
The process was exactly as Tabe said!
SKT used hard support in the bottom lane three times in a row and achieved good results, leading directly with a score of 2-1!
Just when everyone thought they would finally win, the LZ team made timely adjustments. They no longer let Khan mindlessly indulge in split-pushing from the side. Instead, more energy is transferred to team battles.
The two elders Xuan Ming on the bottom lane also told the whole world a truth!
What does it mean to have an elder in the family like a treasure?
The two bottom lane veterans show their rich hero pool and strong version adaptability!
They also immediately took out the hard support to respond! !
Veterans may indeed not have the endless energy and superhuman reactions like young people!
But their valuable experience is also what young people lack
Khan even directly defeated the Huni who was facing him. Kakao also showed the top jungler style of S4, with various invasions in the jungle.
The LZ team, which made timely adjustments, failed to make a comeback in the end, but they still managed to do something of their own.
SKT went on to successfully win the Spring Split with 3:2.
In an interview after the game, Faker unconsciously mentioned Chu Ge, "After losing to IG in the World Championship last year, I will wait for you on the MSI stage this year."
In addition to the LMS division, the champion teams in the other three divisions have threatened to defeat IG.
Co-authored.
IG has become the big devil in everyone’s eyes who will be overthrown?
Everyone says this, which proves that in everyone's mind, IG is now the strongest team. If you want to win any world championship, you must defeat IG to be qualified to win the cup!
Chu Ge's dominance on the top lane is no different from that of peak faker.
In the past few years, mid lane players have regarded it as an honor to be able to single-kill Faker in the lane. Even exaggerating, killing Faker alone will win!
Killing Chu Ge alone is also regarded as an honor by all top laners.
After all...
Faker has had a brilliant and successful career since his debut, but he has still been single-killed many times.
Only Chu Ge!
Since his debut, he still has zero solo kills.
The first time is very precious, everyone wants to be the one who wins Chu Ge’s ‘first time’!
With the LCK finals coming to an end, the only suspense left for the participating teams in this MSI is the LPL division that has not yet finished the finals.
Thanks to the growing popularity of League of Legends, and because Riot has taken back all the rights to host League of Legends events, in order to fill the vacuum period of the event.
That's why the MSI Mid-Season Invitational Tournament started in S5. The league is a long points competition system, and the elimination system will only be implemented at the beginning of the playoffs.
The knockout format is naturally much more entertaining than the points format. In order to increase the enjoyment of the game, fists were introduced in the spring split.
