Chapter 88 86: Peak showdown, EDG vs SKTT1!
Staples Center Arena.
The Staples Center at this moment belongs to League of Legends, not the Lakers.
Outside the arena, more than 20 original paintings of League of Legends tell everyone what this place is about.
On both sides of the huge English logo STAPLESCENTER in the arena, there are posters of the two teams in this year's S3 global finals.
On the left side of the black and white EDG, Lu Yiming stands among the five people with his hands folded in front of his chest and looks down at everyone. On his left side, Ming Kai puts one hand in his hand and slightly raises his chin to reveal a rather handsome profile.
On the right side of Lu Yiming is the old thief Sima. The old thief Sima, who usually talks a lot, has an expressionless face, his thin lips are tightly closed, and he cherishes his words like gold.
On the far left is top laner Zhu Xiaolong, and on the far right is assistant Aya Hirano. Both of them stand sideways. Their positions tell everyone who is EDG's C position and who is EDG's big brother.
On the right is the red and black SKTT1. Compared to EDG’s final makeup photos, SKTT1 looks a bit too mediocre.
The Staples Center has been completely replaced with LOL elements. The original paintings of League of Legends heroes can be seen everywhere, as well as the super large LOGO on the center floor of the Staples Center - an orange sword with white on it. wing.
Below the LOGO is the Riot Games icon.
Snap!
The spotlights on the stage were fully turned on, focusing on the large LOGO on the ground of the Staples Center Arena. The surrounding large screens also began to play short pre-match interviews of the two teams EDG and SKTT1.
Countless eagerly awaited LPL viewers gathered in the official live broadcast room. Even though there were still 30 minutes until the game started, they still watched the pre-game interview video with gusto.
"This Feike is a bit too ignorant. How can he challenge the Godfather?"
"Something's wrong. Godfather used to be a troll. He was the top of the top five trolls in the national server. He ridiculed before the game, killed during the game, and stepped on his face after the game. Why is the short video of today put so euphemistically? He was taken away from his body and reborn?"
"Damn it, Ming Kai is so aggressive!"
"As expected of a man who will leave tonight after all is said and done. He is full of aggression. In comparison, the godfather is gentle and seems like an honest man."
"I think the godfather and Mingkai need to change their answers to get the right balance."
In the short film, interviews with all EDG members were played. In the interview with the white girl, Lu Yiming gave quite satisfactory answers and even praised his opponents.
And Ming Kai, who is called Uchiha Kai, was full of aggression when he was being interviewed by a white girl:
"How do you evaluate SKTT1? I actually don't like to evaluate weak teams. If I praise a weak team, it would be a bit unconscionable. If I belittle a weak team, it is unnecessary. I am an elegant and easy-going person.
However, I can give a suggestion to SKTT1 mid laner Feike. I suggest Feike join EDG and serve as a substitute for Lu Yiming, otherwise he will never have a chance to win the championship! ”
"You have to look at me, Ming Kai, to talk trash before the game. What kind of trash is the godfather? He can't even talk trash!"
"Let me tell you, I think Ming Kai's last sentence was said by Lu Yiming through Ming Kai's mouth!"
"Damn it, labor and management like this trash talk. Mingkai killed SKTT1 for grandpa. If you get slapped in the face, I will kill you first!"
Mingkai's trash talk made the LPL audience scream, Damn, EDG is so appetizing!
The pre-game interview clip flashed by, and some Chinese-speaking viewers from Korea Mingguo angrily scolded Axiba after watching the LPL clip.
This viewer translated Ming Kai's words in the Dahan Mingguo forum, and countless angry and screaming Korean viewers poured into their official live broadcast room and posted crazy barrages.
"China is really a barbaric country, why can't it be a country of etiquette like our country of Korea?"
"Look at what the Chinese team said. They look down on us so much. SKTT1 will beat them, completely beat them!"
"All Chinese people will die for me!"
"Krel's Dirty Dancing, right? nimensidingle!"
"Xiba, if SKTT1 is killed by an explosion, just swim back!"
The audience from the Korean Underworld cursed crazily, and some Chinese students studying in Korea were even more brave. They even created a group and brought a group of Korean viewers in to yell at them!
The short video ends, and the EDG team takes the lead.
Lu Yiming was the first, and the moment he entered the venue, the scene exploded with noise.
“GODDDDDD!”
"God, the only God!"
"Godfather, Godfather, I love you!"
"Godfather, come on, kill me!"
"MVP, MVP!"
The spotlight shone on Lu Yiming. Lu Yiming's expression was indifferent. All his thoughts were now focused on the next game.
Mingkai came on the stage shortly after, stepping into the spotlight one by one. The EDG players had already experienced this kind of world focus and cheers from the audience. Even the youngest Sima Laothier didn't feel any nervousness.
The old thief Sima looked indifferent, as if everyone in the world owed him money.
The on-site commentary began to introduce the members of the EDG team. Every time a name was called, his wonderful killing moment appeared on the big screen.
With the last Aya Hirano nodding slightly, all EDG members began to walk towards their competition rooms.
In addition to computers, there are some drinks and food on the table in this room.
EDG is always on guard against disconnections and network outages.
"Brothers, this appearance is so cool, I was a little nervous just now!"
As soon as the old thief Sima sat down, his indifferent expression was gone, and he couldn't stop talking. He checked his equipment and muttered:
"And the sound of the whole audience cheering, holy shit, to be honest, my whole body got goosebumps when the whole audience cheered!"
"If the S-game finals were played in China, I can't even imagine the atmosphere!"
"The finals are played in the Bird's Nest. How do you feel about the atmosphere?"
Lu Yiming asked, and the old thief Sima couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Are you just kidding me, and beating the bird's nest?
What kind of place is the Bird's Nest? Do you think LOL is capable of playing in the Bird's Nest? ”
"If I really have this ability, I will work my damn life off to reach the finals."
"Hahaha, maybe it will be possible in the future? Who can say for sure!"
Lu Yiming laughed loudly: "Maybe LOL will be able to compete in the Asian Games in the future!"
"Haha!"
The old thief Sima gave Lu Yiming a couple of ho hos and asked Lu Yiming to taste them by himself.
On the scene, the people from SKTT1 began to appear. After a long introduction and debugging of equipment, the BP between the two sides finally began.
With an undefeated record, the EDG team has obtained the right to choose the preferred position. EDG decisively chooses the blue side and can grab people first.
"Fox!"
Lu Yiming directed the ban throughout the whole process, and EDG banned Fox, Zyra and Jax.
SKTT1 banned Riven, Zed and Shen.
The hero Vi was placed outside, and SKTT1 had no choice. It was impossible to let Zed and Shen go to EDG, and Riven didn't dare to let them out, so they had no choice but to let Vi out.
"Take it?"
Loong asked, and Mingkai nodded politely: "Take it!"
EDG directly locked up Wei, and SKTT1 locked up Airplane and Lee Sin. Seeing that SKTT1 had no picks, Lu Yiming unceremoniously locked up a hero he had never used in the S3 finals.
Barrel - Gragas!
"Barrel!"
Seeing Lu Yiming choose the wine barrel, SKTT1 was a little surprised.
They had almost never seen Lu Yiming play the hero of Wine Barrel. They thought Lu Yiming didn't know how to play Wine Barrel, but they didn't expect to win the Wine Barrel in the first game of the finals.
Also, the hero Grape Barrel is not difficult to operate. With the current version of the T1 hero, EDG will not fail to notice this hero.
"Xianghe, what hero do you use to hit the barrel?"
He asked Lee Sang Hyuk about the horse. Lee Sang Hyuk thought for a moment and replied: "I'll use clockwork!"
Clockwork Barrel is a very classic laning hero. In OGN, these two heroes have the most laning times.
"Okay!"
SKTT1 locked the clockwork and Thresh, and EDG took out EZ without hesitation.
After communication, EDG finalized the top laner Zac, Hirano Aya locked up the bull head, and SKTT1 gave Mr. Ohki the last counter position.
Teacher Omu looked at EDG top laner Zach and did not choose Jayce, the classic hero who crushed Zach, but chose Rambo.
The lineups of both sides are released.
Blue square EDG: top laner Zac, jungler Wei, mid laner Wine Barrel, bottom lane EZ plus Niutou.
Red side SKTT1: Top laner Rambo, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane plane + Thresh.
From the perspective of the lineup, the EDG lineup structure is more reasonable, with Zach Niutou in the front row, Keg in the burst, and Wei Neng in the back row.
The SKTT1 lineup is more focused on bursting out and teamfighting in the early and mid-term. Whether it is Rambo or Blind Sin, they are both heroes who will exert their strength in the mid-term.
SKTT1 also has a core spring in the late stage. The damage of the spring in the late stage will explode. Even if it is delayed to the late stage, SKTT1 can still pick up the team.
After both sides debugged the runes and talents, the S3 finals, the peak showdown between the two strongest teams in the world, EDG and SKTT1, officially began!
"Go out quickly, stand in a good position, don't take risks!"
The more critical the game, the more prudent it is.
The first-level team is the most unstable way to play.
Back then, ZOOM wore the Mask of Pain, and SKT's 1557 were all the fault of the first-level team.
EDG has no idea of playing a first-level team, and the same is true for SKTT1. Both sides use the same route to brush monsters. Mingkai brushes monsters from top to bottom, and SKTT1's stupid chickens brush from top to bottom.
If Zach is selected on EDG, he is destined to resist pressure. The blind monk of the stupid chicken must first get the red BUFF to improve the combat capabilities of the midfielder in the early stage.
From EDG's game videos, we can know that EDG is a team that likes to play in the middle and jungle. Their jungler Mingkai always plays around the middle!
"The whole army attacks!"
Along with the high-pitched female voice, Lu Yiming controlled the wine barrel to slightly block the movement of the minions in the middle. When he followed the soldiers to the line, he found that Feike also slightly blocked the movement of the minions.
The world's top mid laner, the same operation.
It was just the simplest move of blocking minions. The mid laners of both sides immediately sensed the opponent's thoughts. No matter whether the jungler would play around the middle or not, Lu Yiming and Feike were destined to fight in the middle. Down!
Who is the best mid laner in the world? (End of chapter)
