Chapter 273 [The weirder the hero, the faster he wins]
Watching the scene of the base explosion on TV, the players and coaching staff of SKT players backstage also started a discussion at this time.
They have always treated IG as an imaginary enemy.
Since winning the LCK Spring Split, they have been studying IG's style of play this season.
Although IG frequently changed their tactical habits and ideas throughout the LPL regular season, in the final analysis, their core has not changed.
If you say.
Little Peanut continues to be the starter, and Kakao may still feel a headache, but he is extremely familiar with King Ning who was trained by IG.
Although the two have never fought against each other.
But after all, he and Rookie have been in IG before, and he is very familiar with some of their specific play styles, and he is also very familiar with Rookie.
Maybe it’s not that hard to fight after all.
However, Huni, who is now confirmed to be the starter, is really excited to see today's game.
Glancing at the coach beside him, he quickly organized some words in his mind, and then hinted tactfully: "Coach, it seems that the hero Barbarian King is really able to restrain Kennen, but fortunately, I am also very proficient in Barbarian King. ”
"Hmm!
Hearing this, Kkoma nodded.
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing no further response from the coach, Huni simply pointed out: "Coach, if the opponent takes Kennen in the next game, can I use Barbarian King?"
"What do you think?"
Kkoma turned to look at him and asked a question.
"Okay!"
Huni curled his lips and cursed Xiba in his heart.
Why can the other party play any hero they want, but I have to look at the coach's face.
At this moment, Huni is a little nostalgic for the carefree days he had in North America last year. Although his teammates were a bit bad, they were not restrained and could play whatever they wanted.
And
He really wants to use Barbarian King to prove his strength again, just like when he was in North America when he pinned his posture to the ground and hammered it.
Let the IG top order become your stepping stone again!
on stage.
Chu Ge took off his headphones. Chu Ge said hello and took the lead in walking towards the Flash Wolf player seat.
Everyone in Lightning Wolf looked a little depressed.
Especially Karsa.
While shaking hands, he kept staring at Chu Ge with resentful eyes.
Chu Ge smiled at him and walked off the stage directly.
We are not familiar with each other, so why communicate so much? When Pizza comes to LPL, we can communicate slowly.
When everyone came to the stage and bowed to the audience, a burst of cheers and applause broke out again.
Pack up the peripherals and return to the backstage.
But they can't leave yet because there is still a game waiting for them at 7:30 pm Brazil time.
The MSI group stage schedule is a double cycle every day, with a total of five days, and each team will play ten games.
The top four teams with the highest points will advance to the knockout rounds.
The next game is between the Vietnamese big brother GAM and the North American cult TSM.
Really noobs pecking each other!
Chu Ge looked at it twice and then went to play on his phone.
However, it is now evening in China, so there are not many people watching the game, and the post bar is extremely quiet. College students are either sleeping or staying up all night.
The fourth game was between Flash Wolves and G2.
The BP of Flash Wolves is exactly the same as before, it is still the strong midfielder team of Excavator Gasindra.
But Chu Ge knew it very well.
This year's G2 in S7 cannot be underestimated. Even Tabe does not dare to easily say that it can compete with the opponent in terms of BP.
After all
In addition to G2's love of playing tricks, their strength is indeed unique in the European and American competitions.
To know.
In Chu Ge's previous life, WE was defeated 3:1 by G2. The most powerful thing is that they almost overturned SKT in the finals, which is enough to prove that they are the only one in strength now.
G2 came up with the female police officer Ivern’s speed push streaming system.
Ivern gradually played his role in this MSI game and became the second support in the team. For teams that like to protect the bottom lane, he is definitely a must-grab hero.
Compared to the depression in the previous game, Maple's Syndra turned into the God of Death in this game, grabbing all kinds of people in seconds, and matching the early rhythm of Karsa's excavator.
The game lasted 25 minutes, and the economic lead reached 6,000 yuan.
However, in the mid-term, Flash Wolf's old habits recurred. After the laning period, Karsa didn't know what to do and began to sleepwalk and check the steps on WeChat.
Compared to Ultramar, the top hacker in the LPL, Karsa is truly invincible for 20 minutes now, and they can't find a breakthrough at all.
Neither MMD nor Pizza knew how to find opportunities to start a team to take advantage of the game. Instead, G2 stabilized the rhythm in waves.
G2 is more interesting. The tactics of this game turned out to be SKT's classic defensive counterattack. In the mid-term, they used operations to stop losses and delayed until the female policeman's six-god outfit.
The game lasted 46 minutes. With the help of policewoman Ivern's system, G2 completed a comeback and won the game.
The funniest thing is that at the end of the game, Flash Wolves were 7,000 yuan ahead of G2.
It’s so outrageous!
In today's fifth game, SKT plays against GAM.
I thought this game would be a one-sided massacre by SKT, but unexpectedly the process turned out to be extremely exciting.
The big Vietnamese brothers are really not timid at all, they are tough from beginning to end.
When the opponent started with Jace, Huni was confident in Rambo, but the result was a counterattack.
This game is almost a showdown between Kakao and Soldier Commander, with a blind monk and Olaf performing various show operations, and gank to set the rhythm.
To sum it up in one sentence, both humans and ghosts are showing off, only Huni is being beaten.
SKT successfully won two consecutive victories with better team fighting and operation.
As the GAM crystal exploded, Su Xiaoluo stood up and clapped her hands: "Get ready, it's our turn!"
Hearing this, Chu Ge immediately put down the banana in his hand.
Although players don't eat very much during the competition, they can eat bananas, Snickers bars or other fast candy that can replenish their energy at any time.
Others also put away their snacks. Before Lin Weixiang walked out, he wanted to stuff White Rabbit toffee into his mouth. However, Tabe discovered it and stopped him and replaced it with chewing gum.
There is no way, almost 8 hours have passed from noon to now, who is not hungry?
People are like iron rice and steel. If they don't eat one meal, they will feel hungry.
And
After such a long time, the food has long been digested in the body.
Not long after, there was a knock on the backstage door.
Taking the peripherals, Chu Ge took the lead in pushing open the backstage door.
In the commentary box.
I remember saying with a relaxed expression: "Everyone, welcome back, the players on both sides are ready and will enter the BP stage immediately."
Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan also had smiles on their faces.
The IG team not only got off to a good start in the first game, but also won so easily.
And this time against TSM, they are also confident.
Maybe it's because the LPL audience calls European and American Lobi like this every day, which makes the official commentator think that the European and American divisions are all Lobi.
Soon, the big screen screen turned and entered the BP interface.
In this game, IG is still the blue side.
IG's bans are very conventional, mainly targeting strong heroes in the version, such as Big Mouth, Malzahar and Syndra.
Banning Syndra in this move is obviously to steal the Enchantress for Rookie.
TSM is targeting Chu Ge, five ban top laners.
Kennen, Sword Demon, Jace, Sword Girl and Qinggang Shadow, none of these five heroes were spared.
As for the Barbarian King, there is no need to take it too seriously. After all, they have a counter position on the red side on the fifth floor.
The hero Barbarian King must be played later. If played first, he will be easily targeted.
Such as Thing, Titan, Poppy.
Especially Stone Man and Poppy. There is no hero who can disgust the Barbarian King more than these two.
In the first three hands, IG got Enchantress, Han Bing and Lulu.
In exchange, the opponent also picked Varus, Karma and Ryze.
In the second round of bans, the IG team locked down Poppy and Galio.
In the commentary box.
Seeing this familiar scene, Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up: "Ban Bobby, IG is preparing to offer a set meal!
Su Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled: "The familiar Ueno military training combination is here!"
"Oh, here we go, it's really a crocodile and a spider." When the blind monk was locked up on the fourth floor opposite, the blue square locked up the spider and crocodile on the fourth and fifth floors.
Desert Spider!
TMS hesitated for a long time, and finally locked the barrel within seconds.
After the lineups of both sides are determined, enter the loading interface.
"TSM!"
"TSM!!"
"TSM!!"
I have to say that the influence of North American cults in Europe and the United States is a bit terrifying, and they have turned this place into their home field.
As long as there is a TSM game, the audience will definitely support it.
However, this game is destined to disappoint the audience.
However, after IG won the championship in a strong and powerful way last year, it also attracted many fans, and it was vaguely comparable to TSM's popularity.
In the commentary box.
Wawa smiled and said, "This year's global finals, our home court, must be won"
The game time was 3 minutes and 02 seconds. When the crocodile pushed its troops into the defense tower, the spiders came as expected, and not only the spiders came, but also the Enchantress in the middle.
Although TSM's jungler Svenskeren had consciously rushed to support, it was still a step too late.
In a stable and extremely long chain of control, the head of the wine barrel was taken over by the Enchantress.
However, Hauntzer didn't seem to understand what a core top laner was. After resurrecting, he waited for a while before choosing TP to go online.
The moment he landed, the enchantress and the spider emerged from the grass again. At this moment, a doubt flashed through Hauntzer's mind.
Is this how the opponent's midfielder plays the game?
A few seconds later, the announcement that the wine barrel had been killed sounded again, and the head was specially given to Chu Ge.
At this point, the wine barrel on the road completely exploded.
But for the top and jungle combination of the IG team, the game has just begun.
Game time is 4 minutes and 38 seconds.
The IG team once again went on the road with three guarantees. This time the Enchantress did not come, but the assistant Lulu came.
The game time is 5 minutes and 57 seconds. The crocodile jumps over the tower and kills the barrel alone.
At 6 minutes and 32 seconds, the crocodile successfully squatted down to the wine barrel in the grass of the second tower and completed another solo kill.
TSM and Hauntzer are completely disconnected!
Game time is 19 minutes and 34 seconds.
The game is over!
TSM didn't even last until Baron refreshed.
The five IG people came to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience, and then walked quickly to the aisle.
However, as soon as he entered the passage, a staff member reached out to stop him.
Seeing this, even though Chu Ge's English was poor, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
Interview!
After waiting for a few minutes, Chu Ge took the microphone handed over by the staff and stepped back to dance. Joining him on stage was an officially arranged translator.
The person responsible for this interview is Riot Games’ official host, Sjokz.
"Hi, welcome to the Dow players for the interview and say hello to everyone."
Sjokz smiled sweetly and extended his hand slightly to indicate.
Chu Ge was already familiar with the interview process. He didn't need the translator to speak, so he held the microphone and said hello to the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Dow, the top laner of IG."
"In today's first game, you played Barbarian King. This is also the first time that Barbarian King has appeared on the stage. Is Barbarian King a secret tactic prepared by your team for MSI?
After listening to the translation by the translator, Chu Ge nodded and said: "That's right!"
"Since it is a secret weapon, aren't you afraid of being targeted in the next game if you bring it out so early?"
"Don't be afraid, because we have prepared many secret tactics, and Barbarian King is just one of them.
Next, Sjokz asked a few more general questions, such as what is the customs and customs in Brazil, and what are his views on other teams.
Chu Ge naturally boasted about this kind of question.
After finally ending the interview, Chu Ge couldn't wait to return backstage.
Everyone has packed their things and is waiting for him.
After taking the bus all the way back to the hotel, Lin Weixiang took the lead and went straight to the restaurant.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant. In addition to TSM, SKT and the big Vietnamese brothers were also there.
As the IG team entered the restaurant, everyone turned their attention to them. After scanning around, they finally focused on Chu Ge.
Especially TSM's top laner Hauntzer, who has been beaten into a super ghost for the first time in such a long time since he entered the game. The roar of the crocodile when it is turned on is still filling his mind.
The SKT players are no longer as relaxed as before, and their eyes are a little solemn.
Today, Chu Ge played a barbarian king and a crocodile. It was really a bit too cruel.
Facing everyone's gaze, Chu Ge looked indifferent, nodded slightly, and walked straight to the buffet table.
Looking back, Wolf whispered: "Axi, what this kid said is not true, is it?
Hearing this, Huni on the side sneered: "Zai Wan, you don't really believe that they have prepared many secret tactics, do you?"
"Hmm! If it's IG, it's still very possible."
Wolf nodded.
Rather than studying IG's tactics, he actually preferred tonight's fast food, and the French fries looked particularly sweet.
It’s Coke
The Coke in Brazil is actually white, which is completely different in color and taste from the ones in Asia. Fortunately, he often plays games in China, so he has a drink in his bag.
No fried chicken burger is complete without real Coke.
At this moment, Faker took a bite of his hamburger and said vaguely, "It's okay. We just have to play according to our usual training. It's a strange move, just one or two times. We can't play BO5 when they keep using different ones." Be a hero!”
Faker is also considered a veteran player.
He knows very well that it is simply impossible for professional players to increase their hero proficiency in a short period of time.
Even if it can be pulled up.
However, each hero will have a corresponding tactical design. Unless he is a substitute for a certain hero, it is simply impossible for five people in the team to practice it.
After all
It’s not like one person plays ranked. In addition to practicing regular lineups and tactics, the coaching staff cannot spare so much time.
Even Lee Sang Hyuk couldn't do it at his peak.
What's more, the top lane hero is not that important in today's version!
However, Faker also understands.
Dow is a player who cannot be treated with common sense.
After all, the IG team is known to like to play tricks. Last year's Kled, Riven, Noshou and Big Tou caused them countless losses.
Therefore, in the next game, no matter what strange top order the opponent comes up with, it seems to be understandable.
Bang, who was sitting in the corner, said nothing during the whole process, with a blank look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
It’s just the Patek Philippe on the wrist that reflects dazzling light under the light.
Noticing his partner's abnormality, Wolf touched him with his elbow and raised his eyebrows: "Junzhi, why haven't you spoken?
"It's nothing, I just feel a little tired."
Bang shook his head, his tone perfunctory.
Seeing this scene, Wolf turned and looked at coach Kkoma, and both of them saw worries in each other's eyes.
After winning the Spring Split, Bang began to act a little strange.
Occasionally, he can be found staring at the computer in a daze, or silently counting vacations alone.
Obviously, there was something wrong with Bang's thinking.
And on the IG side.
After filling their stomachs in the hotel restaurant, they returned to the room and began their daily review.
“It’s so uncomfortable!”
The little peanut in the same dormitory couldn't help but complain, "This year's MSI is really bad. Riot Games is not even willing to run a separate network cable and then use the room to assemble a training room."
Because the room is too small.
As a result, a group of them could only squeeze into one room, not even a presidential suite. It was like a temporary game, completely different from the previous fist style.
After the one-hour review, Tabe discussed tomorrow's BP with the coaching staff, while the players were free to move around.
Although the hotel's computer cannot play training matches, it can still barely play ranked games.
After playing a few games, Chu Ge and the others discovered that not only were their computers poor, but their network was also poor. The packet loss rate was a bit high and they would be disconnected from time to time.
