Chapter 28 Facing CLG
At 17:50 on October 2, San Francisco time, the first round of the group stage match between EDG vs H2K had just ended.
[Thrilling, when the score was 4:5 in the middle, I thought I was going to be overturned. 】
[If the midfielder combination of Syndra + Leopard Girl can also lose, then EDG can just jump into the Pacific Ocean and swim back.]
[It’s not bad, 2-1 in the first round of the group stage, at least there is a high fault tolerance rate in the second round. 】
[Arrived in San Francisco, the important city in the western United States, yo, isn’t that EDG? Let’s take a look at ROX in the distance, family. 】
[Next, ANX will play G2 - rookies pecking each other, ROX will play CLG - unilateral crushing, SKT will play FW - resist Han Qixia? 】
[There is a team. The top laner is stable and resistant to pressure, the jungler is invincible in controlling the map, and the mid laner hero Chi Shen is good at roaming. Who is this team? 】
[If you really want to fight against Korea, you have to look at me, the Wanwan Flash Wolf, hahaha! 】
Everyone in ROX had just arrived at the lounge in the stadium. Since there was still plenty of time to prepare, the players directly commented on EDG's performance.
"Although the result of the game is good, when Jhin is so smooth in the early stage, there is actually no need to go for the critical attack style. And with the protection of the bull head, the third piece is directly to be endless instead of Mamotius. "Bite, the effect should be better, right?" Pray commented on Deft's equipment choice.
"Clearlove's Nidalee didn't put much pressure on the opponent's jungle in the early stage. Nidalee itself is not a very good ganking hero. If she can't suppress the opponent's jungle with the advantage of quickly clearing the jungle, then there is no point in choosing her. It’s not that big.” This is a comment from the factory director’s fan, Xiaohuahua.
"Although the record and game performance are not bad, choosing Irelia in this version is not a good choice, right?" This is Smeb's comment on Mouse's choice of Sword Girl.
Peanut has a different view from Smeb: "However, in the World Championship, daring to use a unique hero that is not strong in the version, at least shows that this player wants to win."
Lin Qiguang nodded, although competitions at all levels have always told the world one truth: if you want to win, follow the version.
But if a professional player can have a good non-version hero, not to mention how high the bonus to winning or losing the game is, at least he can gain some advantages in terms of BP.
Of course, this is based on the fact that the player's non-version unique skills are used well enough to bring great BP pressure to the opponent.
Mouse's personal ability is not very outstanding, and he has always been a player in the team's pressure position. When facing a strong team, people may want him to choose the knife girl.
Of course, EDG is well aware of this, but because they know it, they let Mouse take out the Blade Girl to give it a try in the group stage.
The S6 Global Finals has entered its fourth day. After today, the first round of the group stage will come to an end, followed by the second round of one-day group round robin for four consecutive days.
After more than three days of competition, the version of the S6 Global Finals has become clear. The top lane still needs to be able to resist pressure to a certain extent, but if it can only resist pressure, the team will not be able to go far.
This is undoubtedly unfortunate news for the LPL teams. After all, among the top laners of the three teams, EDG, RNG, and IM, the only one who can play the carry role is Looper, a former Samsung White Champion.
This is why on the day of the opening ceremony, EDG's boss Ed Zhu was so eager to extend an olive branch to Lin Qiguang.
If EDG wants to have the strength to win the global finals, putting aside the midfield and jungle assistants, they must have a top laner who can serve as a carry.
The BP design for the game against CLG was completed last night, so the bored players either checked their phones or watched the ANX vs. G2 game.
ANX is on the blue side and G2 is on the red side.
ANX seems to be a bit stubborn in picking spiders first. After all, in the previous 8 spider picks, only Peanut won 2 games.
G2 picked Karma + Blind Sin in the first and second hands, ANX picked Poppy + Lucian in the second and third hands, and then G2 picked Troll + Ezreal in the third and fourth hands.
So far, everything looks normal, and based on the previous performances of both teams, most viewers are expecting this to be another mediocre game.
Then, a jaw-dropping situation occurred:
ANX, in the fourth and fifth moves, selected the ice bird - ice crystal phoenix, and the fire man - revenge flame soul!
There was a burst of warm cheers at the scene.
No matter what the result of this game is, ANX's two hero selections have already achieved the program effect. If they can win, wouldn't it be more solid that NA>EU?
Facts have proved that ANX's non-mainstream combination of Ice Bird + Fire Man does have miraculous effects.
Although as a wild card division, ANX's operational capabilities are weak. With the advantage of the lineup, at the 24th minute, it only led by 0.8k economy, and even the head ratio was negative.
But at 24 minutes and 20 seconds, ANX made an operation that amazed many players - stealing the baron!
This decision is undoubtedly a very smart one. The two heroes in G2's lineup who have the ability to clear the line - Clockwork and Karma are both mages. If the Baron is stolen at this point in time, G2 will not be able to handle the enhanced Baron buff. Troop line.
It is self-evident that the combination of Spider, Fire Man, and Ice Bird can defeat the Baron very quickly. Ice Bird's ultimate move has high continuous damage and double the explosive E. Spider and Fire Man also have good continuous output capabilities and percentages. harm.
Under the online cover of Bobby and Lucian, Baron was captured by ANX in just 18 seconds.
During the 4 minutes that the Baron buff lasted, ANX successively pushed down G2's first tower in the middle, the first tower in the top, the second tower in the bottom, and the second tower in the middle. While still one head behind, ANX expanded its economic advantage to 5.4. k!
After gaining a huge advantage, ANX is not like the wild card teams in players' impressions, which will be found and overturned due to the gap in operational level.
At 40 minutes and 20 seconds, the G2 main crystal broke, and thunderous cheers and applause erupted from the scene.
This unknown wild card team before the start of the tournament defeated North American second seed CLG and European first seed G2 in the first round of the group stage, achieving an excellent record of 2-1.
The 2-1 score in the first round of the group stage meant that they took the initiative in the second round and had a high fault tolerance rate.
At this moment, people can't help but fantasize in their minds - is the first wild card team in the history of the League of Legends global finals to break into the top 8, about to be born?
——
"OK, it's our turn to play next, let's bring a perfect end to our story in the first round of the group stage!"
Nofe waved his hand and led the team members out of the lounge and toward the waiting area.
In the LPL commentary box.
"The team that will appear next is probably a team that our LPL viewers are looking forward to - the ROX Tigers, sponsored by our domestic Huya Live. The starting top laner on the lineup is still Flashlight, who everyone likes very much."
After the baby finished speaking, Guan Zeyuan said with a smile: "Flashlight players showed a dominant performance in the last game against G2, and it can be seen from the official game audio that Flashlight players were in control throughout the game. The command authority is no less than that of Gorrila player.”
"Especially in the early and mid-term Peanut's extremely profitable ganks, the decision-makers and commanding players were all Flashlight players. This is actually rare in the game."
"In the past, our understanding was that the top lane position was often outside the game, and the person responsible for directing was often the support, jungler or mid laner who could more easily control the game information. But the emergence of Flashlight player broke this view. You know, maybe that’s why he was able to bench a player of Smeb’s level.”
If Lin Qiguang was watching the LPL live broadcast at this time, he would probably post on the barrage: Colonel, please shut up!
At this point in time, Guan Zeyuan has not yet evolved into the "Guan Shen" who is famous for his poisonous milk. Even his commentary style has been criticized by many LPL viewers - a tool man commentator who can only read hero skills.
But for Lin Qiguang, any blessing and affirmation from Guan Zeyuan was the most vicious curse.
Not long after, the screen entered the BP interface, and the commentary desk took a break from working overtime. The game was narrated by Remember, Xiao Umbrella, and Qi Huan.
CLG on the blue side banned Rambo, Spider, and Kennen, while ROX followed last night's design and banned Syndra, Nami, and Poppy.
The moment the BP ended, Xiao Xian said: "ROXTigers banned Syndra but released Dragon King. Do you want CLG to choose? Huhi's Dragon King is a unique skill."
As soon as he finished speaking, CLG quickly locked the Leopard Girl.
"It's still Leopard Girl. Although Dragon King is also a very good choice, it is estimated that no team is willing to give up Leopard Girl to Little Peanut, otherwise the jungle area in the early stage will definitely be defeated." I remember taking over the topic.
Qi Huan followed up and said: "But in this case, ROXTigers will not send the Dragon King to CLG again. Dragon King, Fan Mom, ROXTigers' move of releasing the Leopard Girl was obviously designed in advance."
After ROX Tigers locked up Dragon King and Fan Mom almost instantly, CLG's coach couldn't help but frown. Judging from ROX's quick choice of two heroes, CLG has fallen into a disadvantage in terms of BP.
But now that the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to be cowardly. At least the other party has released the policewoman. Maybe this move is also included in ROX's BP design, but is it possible that CLG will not take it?
After hesitating for a long time, with 8 seconds left in the countdown, CLG locked down Caitlin, the very confident "Piltover Policewoman" in its bottom lane, and Alistar, the "Tauren Chief" who didn't match well.
It was ROX's turn to pick again, and this time there was still no hesitation. In just 6 seconds, ROX quickly locked up three or four choices.
"Explorer" Ezreal, "Blind Monk" Li Sin.
When the combination of Ezreal + Karma faces the combination of Policewoman + Tautou in the early stage, the pressure on the line will not be too great, and it can achieve stable development without being targeted by the jungle.
Although the blind monk is not as good as Leopard Girl in terms of jungle clearing speed, as long as the jungle clearing route is well planned and the vision is good, after successfully surviving the early stage, he can still compete with Leopard Girl.
The counter position is given to the top lane.
On the choice of four or five moves, CLG still hesitated for a long time, and it was not until the last second of the countdown that they pressed the top-middle combination of Gnar + Vampire.
But when a vampire faces the Dragon King, he must be pushed out of the lane in the early stage.
"So next, what top order will ROXTigers lock for Flashlight player?"
"With the presence of the Dragon King, the mid lane can be pushed to support without thinking in the early stage. It can not only protect the wild area from being invaded by the Leopard Girl, but also pose a threat to the enemy's bottom lane or top lane when sprinting."
"It's confirmed - "Guardian of the Future" Jace! ”Follow reading!Follow reading!Follow reading!
