Chapter 181: Tit for tat, T1’s backhand.
"Congratulations WBG!" Senior Colonel Guan was excited, "In this crucial final, you won the first victory in a small-scale battle! Leading T1 one to zero!"
"Yes, this way of winning is very LPL! Just fight with the opponent! We have to take on every wave."
Miller's voice became hoarse after roaring for the whole game, "Even the female police system that Gumayusi is proud of is completely useless here! It will create a greater advantage for the next BP."
"Now it's up to WBG to defend the red. The next round is very critical."
Although there is no news from T1 about confirming the side selection at this time, it is already a tacit fact that everyone will choose the blue.
This version of the red side requires too many fixed ban positions and is unable to use its own system. It is naturally at a disadvantage in terms of BP.
Riot Games is also urgently making specific adjustments to this, but specific effects will not appear until the next version.
The players from both sides took off their headphones expressionlessly and walked quickly towards the backstage passage,
Coming to the MSI finals, they have experienced hundreds of battles. The first game of the BO5 competition was more of a test and a collision of tactical styles from different regions.
The next two or three rounds are more important.
At the door frame of the WBG lounge, Mai Zijian had been waiting at the door early. When he saw his team members coming over, he patted their shoulders one by one and walked in together.
"This is a great beating for you. Everyone played very well. This is how you should play!"
He smiled broadly, "Maybe we can beat T1 three to zero if this continues! Keep up the good work!"
"Don't worry, coach, the Oner opposite can't put any pressure on me at all," sofm was lying on the sofa. "It's a mercy for me to only press him by two levels."
"Actually, I didn't play well in laning."
Cheng Lu scratched her hair and was about to speak when she was interrupted by a mobile phone that was suddenly brought to her face.
"See if this hook is awesome or not, catch the faker and hit Q for sure!"
After sitting down, on couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and play the video, and kept sharing it with everyone.
"Then let me see your hook."
Angel on the side also moved forward with a strange smile,
The three of them were watching the replay while reviewing the game while madly complaining about each other's actions.
As soon as Gu Chuan came in, he took out his notebook from his backpack,
On page 13, the hero pool and commonly used tactical systems for all T1 positions are clearly recorded.
He took out the red pen and lightly crossed out the policewoman's picture, feeling relieved.
Just like RNG in the previous life, today they used another method to forcefully break T1’s female police push system,
According to the opposite Bengi's coaching style of never giving up, this style of play should not be considered again in the future.
But after coming to the red side in the second game, they will also face their most severe test so far this season.
Gu Chuan will not simply think that there are a bunch of robots on the opposite side and will only follow the original path. T1's professional training team will definitely conduct special research on each person and convert the most suitable playing system.
And he only holds the last trump card in his hand, but there are still more tough battles to be fought.
Whether they can withstand the following headwind BP is the key point.
“The MVP of this round goes to theshy Gwen!”
"With a record of 7-2-1, the damage conversion rate and damage ratio are the highest in the game. This MVP is well-deserved!"
"We can see Gwen's almost invincible operation on the single-band line in this game."
The analysis from the commentator's seat kept coming to my ears,
Gu Chuan looked at the notebook in his hand, his thoughts drifting further and further away.
The short intermission passed quickly,
Players from both sides appear again,
The camera turned to the battle seat of T1,
After experiencing the failure in the first game, the demeanor of the team members still did not fluctuate much, and they were even a little excited,
"Although the defeat in the first game is a bit regretful, we may not have done it perfectly, and the opponent's strength is also very strong,"
"But this is just a small setback in the process of winning the championship, and it cannot stop us from moving forward," Faker said unhurriedly in his voice. "Remember, we are T1, the strongest team in the world. ! ”
"Brother Xiang He said it well, it's time for us to teach our opponent a lesson in this game!"
Zeus responded immediately, feeling his blood boiling in his body.
The oner on the side nodded firmly, "If you can in this round, give me the jungler first. I want to be more proactive."
The Nightmare in the last game was really frustrating. Every time he used his ultimate move, he could only run to save his teammates. He was exhausted running around for the whole game, and the offensive power was completely out of his hands.
"No problem!"
Bengi, who was standing behind them, squinted his eyes and said, "We have a huge advantage in BP on the blue side this time. I will try my best to choose a top half combination with a stronger collision for you."
As he said this, he turned to look at his bottom duo,
"Minjiong, you have to start resisting the pressure next. I already agreed to your request in the last game. Don't let me down this time."
"Okay, Coach."
Gumayus, who had always been arrogant and domineering, finally lowered his head and answered as if he was admitting defeat.
It was him who took the initiative to choose a female police officer because he wanted to prove his ability.
Bengi also nodded and agreed to his request, but it seemed that the result was very unsatisfactory,
Because he was defeated every time he fought in a group, and he didn't take much advantage online, in the end he dealt almost the lowest damage in the game, barely more than the opponent's full-tank Galio.
This was a huge shame in his short career!
But more seriously,
If he loses the last game of BO5 because of him, his career may be even shorter,
Thinking of this, Gumayus couldn't help but shuddered and tightened the hot water bottle in his hand.
The big truck driving to the gate of the base already appeared in his mind.
In the LPL commentary box, several people were chatting in the little free time,
"T1 cannot afford to lose in the second game, and as long as our WBG wins this game, we will basically be sure of victory with three match points in hand."
Colonel Guan was writing something thoughtfully.
In so many years of World Series, there has only been one situation where two people chased three in the S game.
The other games were won by the dominant side without any suspense.
"But you still can't be too careless. It seems that Zeus is actually in pretty good shape today. Despite this disadvantage, Jace still maintained a relatively stable performance and dealt the third highest damage in the game."
< br>
Brother Holy Gun, who has rich experience on the side, also agrees with Miller's statement, "LCK teams are very good at playing BO5 and have strong resilience. If you want to win, you have to slowly grind against them."
At this time, Colonel Guan's eyes lit up when he heard the prompt from the earphones, "As expected, T1 took the initiative to choose the blue side in the second round, while WBG came to the slightly inferior red side,"
"This is a new test for the coaches on both sides. Will WBG pursue the victory and win the second game again, or will T1 turn the tide and bring both sides back to the starting line!"
"The second round of BO5 in the 2022 MSI Finals, BP officially begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the game's BP interface appeared on the big screen with the exciting music!
The spotlight on the dome kept rotating, and finally hit the player seats on both sides!
There were bursts of carnival-like shouts from the audience!
"T1's first three board positions were distributed to Galio, Titan and Draven. With sufficient board positions, they chose WBG's Galio system and the excellent laning ability in the bottom lane."
"And WBG's side backhanded Gwen, Lucian and Enchantress?!" The three commentators looked at each other,
"In this case, all the jungle heroes will be released!"
"It seems that coach Mai Zijian is thinking more about the players' personal condition. Oner's performance in the first game was obviously disastrous."
After the final ban of WBG was finalized, the problem was thrown back to T1,
At this time, the stupid chicken frowned,
Compared to the amateur level in the commentary box, he sees things at a much deeper level,
The opponent's ban of Enchantress means that the only remaining Ahri is the current mid laner. She can not only push the lane, but also roam. She is also very powerful when paired with Wei's midfield combination.
But.
In the research of the competition training team, WBG has a set of ice female mid lane system, which is quite successful in dealing with Ahri and Enchantress.
But why don’t they?
Bengi rolled his eyes,
In this case, I might as well just take advantage of the situation,
"Let's grab the monkey!"
"OK."
Zeus responded and locked onto the first floor with no expression,
Oner on the side could not help but gear up excitedly and began to adjust his rune talents,
The enhanced monkey is the current jungle version T0. Not only does every skill fit perfectly with the mythical Holy Separator, but being able to release Havoc in Heaven twice is enough to have a huge impact in a small-scale team battle.
This is where Foego and Blind Monk fall far short.
Now it's Mai Zijian's turn to have a headache,
He didn't expect that his sugar-coated bullet would be pushed back intact,
But at this time, I had to bite the bullet and eat it.
"WBG backhandedly locked up Ahri and ADC Kasumi on the first and second floors. Ogawa's Kasumi still has a 100% winning rate so far, and Ahri is the hero Angel has played the most in the match. I think there is no problem with these two moves. .”
While the principal was chatting, the two heroes on the second and third floors of T1 decided without hesitation!
[Everyone will surrender, but the time has not yet come! 】
[No matter whether it's fire or the deep sea, they can't take my life! 】
"Ice Girl and Captain!"
Miller's face showed a trace of helplessness inadvertently, "There is no doubt about Zeus's captaincy, and Faker, a veteran, has also re-trained the ice girl. It can be seen today that T1 is very well prepared."
"The midfielder and jungler of Monkey and Ice Girl are already full of antagonism. We can only wait and see what WBG's third hand will do."
The BPs of both sides had already competed several times at the beginning, and in his opinion, Bengi now had the upper hand.
From these two instant picks, we can see that T1 is full of confidence,
Then it will definitely be a tough battle.
WBG selected Foego on the third floor,
The only remaining junglers outside are Lee Sin and Ruined King. If you don't take the second round now, you will definitely be banned by the opponent. In addition, the jungle position in this version is basically rigid, and there are no special heroes who can play.
This is basically what Bengi expected.
After taking the first three hands, both sides enter the second round of ban,
Everything is progressing to the place that Mai Zijian least wants to see,
At this time, he also felt Bengi’s distress on the red side in the previous game,
For a strong team, regardless of personal abilities, at least it is difficult to be restricted in the hero pool.
There are too many ADs and supports available in the bottom lane in this version, and the only two ban positions he has left are simply a drop in the bucket.
After pressing down an EZ first on the fourth floor, Mai Zijian fell into deep thought,
T1 on the opposite side has already taken the lead and banned Luo without thinking,
Luo is Xia's best supporting partner and one of On's specialties. Naturally, they won't let him out.
WBG has the last precious ban position left in its hands,
Watching the time go by,
The pace of Mai Zijian's feet became more and more impatient, and the words in his mouth were choked in his throat,
"How about we ban Sai"
"Don't worry about Senna, they don't dare to shake the monkey down." Gu Chuan finally spoke at this time,
"Ban their Tahm Kench. Their real purpose is to prevent us from playing Rush."
T1 deliberately let off several smoke bombs during the competition and group stage. They could suddenly swing the monkey to the bottom lane to form a Senna monkey combination. In this way, they could blindside oner and completely catch their opponents off guard.
At this time, Mai Zijian had been frowning for a long time. It was for this reason that he was not sure whether there would be any changes in the end.
But the purpose of the opponent in this game is already obvious. Bengi is to let the strong mid-field linkage radiate the advantage to the bottom lane. The captain can also use his big move to support the whole map when he is on the top lane.
In order to ensure the advantage of the mid-field linkage, this monkey must be played by oner!
After hearing this, On on the fifth floor quickly pressed down Tam.
Seeing Tam, Lord of the River, pop up on the big screen, Bengi couldn't help but his eyes lit up,
Sure enough, there was a master on the opposite side who guessed what he was thinking.
But everything is done for BP at this stage. When his perfect top, middle and jungle system is completed, the confrontation in the bottom lane is no longer important.
He gently closed the tactical board, as if saying goodbye to his opponent,
"Ban the sword demon."
This option was made after soliciting Zeus’s personal opinion to target the ban,
Just the night before the game started, Zeus met V5's top laner Rich in a ranking round,
Rich faced his captain with an overbearing sword and demon, and finally gave him a super ghost record with ease.
At least this time it didn’t cast any psychological shadow on Zeus,
He wasn't sure whether theshy's sword demon would still be as sharp as it was back then. Anyway, G2's background board would always be hanging in the highlights.
The banning session for both parties is over,
"WBG won Gnar on the fourth floor, a jack-of-all-trades top laner. It can't be said that anyone is at a disadvantage when used to beat the captain. Theshy was used quite a lot in the spring split."
"As for the final duo of T1, they chose..."
"Jinx Galenata! Keria has come up with a new support option! His treasure chest seems endless."
Gu Chuan's eyes were serious, and he moved his wrists slightly, his eyes becoming more and more excited,
At this point, T1 is completely different from the previous life. Even if they have predicted their intentions in advance, Bengi can backhand out the high-level substitute to assist Lenata.
Sure enough, in the end of BO5, you still have to fight for your strength with real swords and guns, without any tricks or luck.
Next,
On on the fifth floor finally chose to make up for the team-starting Riel.
But this is a forced option, because no matter what hero starts the team, it will be restrained by the opposite Lenata.
The solution is to use soft auxiliary types, such as Kalma, wet nurse, etc.
Obviously T1 had enough research on him before the game. There was only one nanny in on's hero pool whose proficiency was barely usable.
But in the face of the captain's slowdown and the Monkey Ice Girl's double team fight, the soft assistant's survival space is too small in this situation, and if you are not careful, you may melt into the team battle on the spot.
The lineups of both sides have now been finalized,
Blue side T1, top laner Captain, jungle monkey, mid laner Lissandra, bottom lane Jinx Galenata.
Red side WBG, top laner Gnar, jungler Foyego, mid laner Ahri, bottom lane Xiagariel.
A big war is about to begin!
