Chapter 97 Good luck does not favor fools!
"Hello! Staples Center—!"
"Summoners here and around the world, welcome to the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals!"
Following a passionate opening speech, Dash, the bearded official LCS host in a smart suit, came to the center of the stage and stood next to the Summoner's Trophy.
One of the characteristics of this LCS host is that he never talks nonsense and is clean and neat.
"First of all, let us welcome the LCK Summer Split champions-ROXTigers!"
When the host Dash called out the name "ROXTigers", the cheers at the scene suddenly sounded like a sea wave.
At the same time, fireworks exploded on the stage. Although Lin Qiguang and his teammates had already received the notification, they were immediately startled.
The camera panned over Nofe, and then Dash began to introduce the seven members of ROXTigers:
“Top order—Flashlight!”
Waves of cheers rang out again, and the camera focused on Lin Qiguang.
Today he put on the specially lengthened, cool and pure black ROX-Flashlight jersey in the promotional video. He stood tall and straight, with his hands in his pockets. He exuded an aura of being kept away from strangers, and he was arrogant.
"Jungle——Peanut!"
Compared with Lin Qiguang's cold dress, Xiaohuatuan is the complete opposite. Although he has cool silver hair, when he raises his hands and waves to the audience with a sunny smile, the first thing that comes to people's minds is The word must be - lovely.
“Mid laner——Kuro!”
"ADC——Pray!"
"Assistant——Gorrila!"
“Substitute top laner—Smeb!”
"Coach - Nofe!"
The entire lineup of ROX is now displayed in front of the world on the highest stage in the world!
"Next, the opponent they have to face is the two-time global finals champion-SK Telecom T1!"
The fireworks exploded again, and the cheers given by the audience were vaguely more sensational than when the ROX Tigers were introduced before.
This is SKTT1. Although they did not even qualify to play against ROX Tigers in the summer playoffs, they are the undisputed defenders on the global finals stage.
Want to become a legend?
Then beat SKT!
“Top order—Duke!”
Compared with the previous scene when Dash introduced Flashlight, the cheers given to Duke by the audience were obviously much weaker, even compared to other ROX players and substitute top laner Smeb.
"Jungle - Bengi!"
When it was Bengi's turn, the cheers suddenly became louder. Although Bengi has always been said to be Faker's shadow, as a double-champion jungler, Bengi's popularity is definitely there.
The camera zoomed out and then zoomed in, focusing on the young man wearing black-rimmed glasses in the middle of the SKT team. His head was lowered, as if he was deep in thought.
“Mid lane——Faker!”
The most sensational cheers since the start of the game rang out at the Staples Center. It can be seen that Faker is still the only one in popularity at this time.
After all, the ID SKTT1Faker is synonymous with "god" in this era.
When the host read the name "Faker", Faker finally raised his head without making any unnecessary movements, but his eyes were vaguely murderous.
"ADC—Bang!"
"Assistant——Wolf!"
"Substitute jungler——Blank!"
"Coach - KkOma!"
After host Dash introduced the members of SKT, Lin Qiguang suddenly saw Faker's eyes turning to him.
Are you in such a hurry?
Lin Qiguang looked sideways, smiled slightly, and responded to Faker, who had murderous eyes.
Don't worry, your legend will end with me!
In the center of the stage, Dash raised the microphone again.
"Ladies and gentlemen! League of Legends 2016 Global Finals - Battle of Champions, ROX Tigers vs SK Telecom T1!"
"Players, please take your seats!"
"The ultimate battle is about to take place!"
After the entrance ceremony, Smeb and Bengi walked backstage under the guidance of on-site Riot staff.
In today's peak battle, Smeb was still pushed to the bench by Lin Qiguang. On the other side, SKT's starting jungler Bengi was not completely bound to Faker as the outside world expected.
However, this situation is understandable. After all, in the semi-final match against H2K, Bengi, who started the game, still lost the game even though he got the Leopard Girl. Blank, who replaced him, helped the team to win the game from one to three. Tickets for the final.
It seems that Blank is in better condition than Bengi at this time.
Bengi seemed to see the disappointment in Smeb's eyes. Even though he was an opponent, he still comforted him: "Jinghao, don't be discouraged. Maybe you will have a chance to play in a while."
Smeb looked back at Bengi and shook his head. Although he was confident of defeating Duke, if the team really lifted him up, it would mean that ROX was in dire straits.
He knows Lin Qiguang's ability very well. If SKT can be forced into a desperate situation by his personal ability, coupled with the routines and tactics, then it will probably be useless to replace him.
So Smeb chuckled and said: "Don't be too optimistic. Maybe coach KkOma will lift you up in the second game. That guy Blank will definitely not be able to cross the river in front of our Wanghu."
< br>
Bengi was immediately speechless, shook his head, and walked to the SKT lounge.
Smeb, who had just finished confronting Bengi over there, for some unknown reason, stood there and stared at Bengi's figure for a while, until he walked around the corner and disappeared, and then returned to the ROX training room.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for this day for a year!"
"Come on, come on, we must take revenge this time!"
"SKT bastards, welcome my killing!"
At the competition table, it was still in the debugging stage, but the three assistants, the middle and lower assistants, had already begun to say harsh words in their voices.
Lin Qiguang smiled and said: "What do you mean? There are no harsh words in the promotional video, but now you are telling me and Wanghu specifically? Isn't it because you don't have confidence?"
It was obvious that I was fishing with a straight hook, but the fish still took the bait.
"What do you mean? Damn it, you think I can't beat Bang, right?"
"Ah, so sad~ Before the battle, he was bullied and disliked by the top laner. Coach, please take care of him!"
It seemed like there was discord within the team, but in fact, everyone said these words with smiles, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
In the LPL commentary box, Wawa, Miller, and Changmao are already in place.
"Okay, everyone is welcome to lock in the LPL live broadcast room early in the morning to watch the 2016 Global Finals. I am the doll!" It was still the doll who made the opening remarks.
"I'm Shaggy." "I'm Miller."
"Now the finals are about to be staged. The 10 players currently on the field are debugging the machine, so the three of us will give you a pre-match analysis. Come on, Changmao, what do you think about this game between SKT and What was the final score for ROX? ”
Changmao immediately answered: "If you want me to say it, let's beat it 3 to 2."
"SKT 3 vs. 2 ROX?" Because SKT got the right to choose sides in games 1, 3, and 5 during the coin toss before the game, so I naturally thought that when Changmao said "3 vs. 2," that 3 was SKT.
"No, no," Changmao waved his hands quickly, "I definitely support ROX. Firstly, judging from the performance in the summer and S games, and secondly, because ROX's top laner Flashlight is Chinese!"
< br>
Wawa and Miller looked at each other and smiled, and with a flat A, they forced Shaggy's ultimate move out, making a huge profit this time.
Miller put his hands on his chest and analyzed seriously: "Wawa and I both think that ROX can beat SKT 3-1, because judging from the performance since the S game, SKT's BP is very difficult to do."< br>
"Yes!" Wawa nodded, "Flashlight player Lucian and the male gun are two thorny problems that SKT must face. In the jungle, Peanut is also obviously stronger. There is a high probability of 5 in the bottom lane. In the fifth open, if Faker wasn't in the middle, I think ROX would have beaten SKT."
Changmao has the opposite opinion on this: "I think the gap between Faker and Kuro's personal strength may have a greater impact than you said. You must know that even if ROX maintains a complete victory in the previous two Bo5 , but Kuro is basically beaten every game.”
"Right? In this situation, Kuro has to face the big devil Faker now, and his lack of laning ability will only be infinitely amplified! You see, ROX is on the red side in the first game, but even if His counter position is on the fifth floor. Can he counter Faker? ”
The doll immediately smiled and said: "No, you can't say that."
Before the words were spoken, the BP interface appeared, and the two parties began the BP game.
The blue side SKT's three bans were given to Kuro's Dragon King, Flashlight's Lucian, and Pray's Jhin, while the red side's ROX's three bans were given to Faker's Syndra and Ryze, and Blank's Leopard Girl.
Changmao immediately yelled: "You see, these three bans of ROX already speak for themselves. Forget about banning Syndra and Leopard Girl versions, even Ryze has to be banned. When ROX played against SSG before, Instead of banning Ryze, the last ban position was given to top laner Ekko.”
In SKT’s voice at this time, seeing ROX’s last move to ban Ryze, Duke immediately asked: “Do you want to take Zyra in Zaiwan?”
Kkoma thought for two seconds. He banned Jhin with his last move, and Zyra's priority was no longer that high. Therefore, the top priority was to increase the priority of the jungler.
In KkOma's mind, the top lane can be at a disadvantage, but the middle lane can never be at a disadvantage. Even if ROX takes the mid laner Counter hero in the fifth hand, Faker's personal strength can handle it.
Therefore, if you want to maximize Faker's development, you must first increase the priority of the jungler.
"No, let's get the jungler first and get Olaf for Shanjiu."
Peanut's spiders were released, but it doesn't matter. After Olaf reaches level 6, he can completely counter spiders, and the opponent can only use blind monks.
SKT locked down the jungler in the first place - "Berserker" Olaf!
On the other side, Nofe’s hearty laughter came from the ROX team’s voice.
"It's just like what you said. The opponent will get the hero for the jungler first."
Lin Qiguang smiled slightly. He had no choice but who gave him the God's perspective?
"Then our round." Nofe was still hesitant at first, "In the first round, are you sure you want to play like this?"
Lin Qiguang immediately shook his head. In the first game of Bo5, he chose a stable lineup to test the opponent's strength. This is the habit of many Korean coaches.
"There is no need to make useless tests, just choose what we are good at. It is best to catch SKT off guard!" Gorrila, as the captain, also participated in the BP decision-making at this time.
"Okay!" Nofe nodded and made two entries in his notebook, "Then just take it - Karma, Ashe!"
"The One of Apocalypse" - Karma, locked!
"Ice Shooter" - Ashe, lock on!
These two choices immediately caused confusion among the commentators in each competition region.
"Eh? ROXTigers also did not take the high-priority Zyra as support, but chose Karma and Ashe. This" Miller was a little confused.
Wawa justified himself by saying: "ROXTigers will most likely give up the bottom lane and attack the upper half of the jungle with all their strength. Zyra is very restrained by Karma, but Ashe's hands are also relatively long, and Jhin is banned. It should not be It will be too miserable.”
On SKT's side, KkOma was also a little confused. They originally gave Zyra to ROX by default, but they didn't expect ROX to not choose it.
"Coach, Zyra?" Blank asked.
"Zyra! They dare to let go, why don't we dare to choose?" KkOma patted Bang's big head again, "Junzhi takes Caitlin or Ezreal?"
"Ezreal." Bang replied decisively. His Caitlyn proficiency is not very high, and he doesn't really like to use this kind of hero who must have a laning advantage in the early stage.
Compared to Caitlyn, he still prefers Ezreal. No matter what happens in the lane, he can never collapse. With the big brother in the middle, he can develop without pressure in the mid-term, and he can also take over team battles in the later stage.
"The Rise of Thorns" - Zyra, lock on!
"Explorer" - Ezreal, locked on!
"Hey Yigu, Qiguang, even if you don't stop being a player in the future, you will definitely be a coach after retirement and there will definitely be a lot of clubs competing for you!" Faced with SKT's second and third picks that were completely predicted by Lin Qiguang, all Nofe could do was praise.
After waiting for ten seconds for SKT to relax their vigilance, Nofe continued to make two entries on his notebook: "OK, Rambo, Lee Sin!"
"Mechanical Enemy" - Rambo, lock on!
"Blind Monk" - Li Qing, locked on!
At this point in BP, the lineups of both sides are normal. The only thing that KkOma feels needs some attention is that ROX did not take Zyra in the first and second hands, and Flashlight did not choose to take Jayce or the male gun.
However, these are not important. Anyway, Zyra, who must have lane rights in the bottom lane, has been obtained. The jungle is also a classic Olaf versus the blind monk. Next, he only needs to give his precious Xiang He a big core in the middle.
As for Duke on the road
"Haocheng, how about I choose Ekko for you? When the opponent was playing against Samsung, Ikko was banned for three consecutive games, and Ikko didn't have much pressure when playing Rambo."
Duke nodded expressionlessly: "It's up to you, coach."
"Yes." KkOma walked up behind Faker, patted his shoulder and said: "Xianghe, I believe that no matter what kind of hero you get, you can beat Kuro, right?"
Lee Sang Hyuk said solemnly: "I am Faker!"
As a result, it didn’t take long for SKT’s fourth and fifth picks to be confirmed:
"Time Assassin" - Ike!
"Mechanical Pioneer" - Victor!
After the lineup was determined, KkOma was very satisfied with his BP, smiling and shaking his little notebook.
Hum, ROXTigers, give the counter position to Kuro?
If my Faker could be restricted by using the counter position, then he would not be the big devil - Faker!
As a result, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Only 5 seconds after SKT locked the lineup, ROX's last choice of heroes caused a sensation in the audience——
"Good luck does not favor fools!" "Bounty Hunter" - Miss Fortune!
This gsl is already lying down, please ask a kind person to cover the coffin board, thank you!
