Chapter 183 Sudden pause? Rune Warrior!
Although there are relatively few casualties in this game, it is not too long either.
However, the various jungle games and online confrontations did not stop for a moment. Both sides were mentally and physically exhausted under the constant mental tension. After seeing the game finally over, everyone was stretching their stiff limbs.
Faker, who stood up holding the chair, had to admit his age,
After these two games, he already felt soreness in his arms, soreness in his waist and back pain, and even his steps were a bit slower.
At this time, Mai Zijian, who was standing in the background, was watching this scene through the screen, with an unknown smile on his face.
Although he doesn’t know much about tactics,
But having served as a team leader for many teams, he has unique experience in observing the personal and psychological conditions of professional players.
Soon, everyone in WBG returned to the lounge,
They did not feel too frustrated and communicated with each other about the small mistakes in this round,
Everyone is mentally prepared for today's BO5. It is almost impossible to win 3-0 against such a top team with similar strength.
Moreover, they have already brought out the advantages of their lineup in this game. It can only be said that the opponent played better and the hero was more adapted to the version to win.
Seeing that everyone was calm, Mai Zijian, who came up to them, stopped mentioning the previous game and picked up the tactical board and whispered something.
Time passes minute by minute,
The 10-minute intermission went by in a flash.
Teammates from both sides returned to the stage seriously again,
When the camera turned to WBG's battle seat,
Everyone's demeanor was quite natural and optimistic, and they did not feel frustrated at all because of the defeat in the previous game.
They are well prepared before the game and already have their own coping methods.
"As I said just now, we will mainly play the midfield rhythm next,"
Mai Zijian was full of confidence, "We must secure the line right in the middle. Angel, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
Angel changed from his usual carefree demeanor and looked at the screen extremely seriously.
He has been able to get here most of the time relying on his teammates. When it is time to stand up today, he must not be timid.
"Very good, this is our blue side, I will give you the biggest tilt in BP."
Mai Zijian nodded with satisfaction and opened his tactical board.
Through long-term observation just now, he found that the status of T1's oner and faker continued to decline today. Xiao Lu Bu was quite honest under the crazy pressure of his own AD, which made Keria completely unable to leave the lane and wander around.
The only threat is Zeus on the road!
At this time, the referee sent a reminder that the equipment debugging has been completed and BP is about to begin!
"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2022 msi finals! The ongoing match between WBG and T1 is now tied at one to one, and the third game of BO5 is about to begin!"
After a few rounds, Colonel Guan is still in full condition,
There is no GEN game at MSI this year, and he has almost no weaknesses as he can't break defenses.
"It is regrettable that we lost the second game, but it was just a small episode in BO5," Miller said firmly, "WBG is the spring champion of our LPL division, and every team member has experienced quite a few BO5s. I I believe they are no worse than T1 in terms of strength!”
"As a powerful opponent, T1 is in pretty good shape today. I hope they have to put some restrictions on BP."
"That's right, we are on the blue side in the next game. It is best to target Zeus first, and then let Gu Chuan get the advantageous hero in the lane and clear the bottom lane as soon as possible."
Brother Holy Spear nodded and gave his own advice.
Because this is how they lost to WBG in BO5.
The lights kept flashing and the exciting music stopped suddenly,
As the serious war overture sounded one after another, the BP panel was presented in front of the audience!
The two sides started by killing Enchantress and Lucian respectively as usual,
After many battles, the coaches on both sides have a clear enough understanding of their opponents. Whether it is Faker's Enchantress or Gu Chuan's Lucian, they cannot let go.
In the second round of bans, WBG took the lead in making adjustments,
"Mai Zijian's coaching style is to never give up, and immediately ban the captain who won the MVP in the last game," Miller analyzed clearly. "It seems that they haven't found a suitable solution yet, so they simply banned it."< br>
Colonel Guan followed suit, "And T1 will naturally not be lenient and press down Galio with his backhand. He is obviously very afraid of WBG's Galio linkage system."
The image of Galio running around with a wolf head in the first game is still vivid in my mind. Even faker had no choice in facing such a hero who never faced lanes.
The only counter hero, the cannon, has low proficiency for him. It was no problem to use it to beat G2 in the big score situation before, but it is still too risky to use it in this big stage of the finals.
"WBG sends Xayah to the ban position again. It depends on what T1 wants to ban in the third hand. The BP of choosing the red side is very limited. Ahri, Gwen, and Monkey are all outside. They can only choose one of the three."
Bengi hesitated for a moment,
He strolled up behind Faker and said, "The one on the other side should still be for Ahri, so be prepared."
Lee Sang Hyuk remained expressionless. He picked up the water glass on the side and drank a few sips. "No problem, his basic skills are very poor. He can't beat me in the line."
He has proven it himself once before. Whether in laning or in a team fight, he can firmly suppress the opponent's mid laner.
Even if we do it again, there will be no surprises!
Bengi trusted this old partner for many years and decided to ban Draven after thinking for a moment.
"Huh?"
Colonel Guan in the commentary box widened his eyes, "T1 finally chose not to ban anyone, but they all got kicked out. What does this mean?"
There were also whispers of discussion in the audience. The professional T1 would naturally not make such a low-level BP mistake. It was obvious that he had another idea in this round.
"Get Gwen!"
Mai Zijian said confidently, "The opponent asked us to grab Ahri, and they backhandedly used Ice Girl and Monkey. They wanted to recreate the same mid-jungle linkage again."
He looked at the flashing selection boxes on the screen, and seemed to see Bengi with the old fox smile through the reflection.
"But this time we have a different surprise for them!"
Cheng Lu nodded and locked Gwen directly on the first floor!
After the first few games, he was also angry,
The coach on the opposite side didn't take him seriously at all, and almost never allowed him to play in the ban position. Moreover, this junior top laner was obviously a bit young and energetic, and he often relied on the strength of the crowd to give him eye drops.
You need to educate your opponents and let them respect themselves, who were once the number one top laner in the world!
At this point the problem is thrown back to T1,
Bengi was stunned for a moment after seeing this, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed,
“Monkey and Ahri are locked on the first and second floors of T1. They are both very sophisticated combinations in the current version of the mid-jungle linkage.”
Colonel Guan shouted excitedly, "Then WBG is not polite and backhandedly selected the ruined king and ice girl. This should be a head-to-head confrontation in the middle and jungle again!"
"The mid lane heroes on both sides exchanged with each other. In terms of lane rights in the early stage, Lissandra is better to control, while Ahri needs two levels of Q or a little blue book to get the lane rights."< br>
Miller relaxed a little after seeing the Ice Girl. From the previous BP moves, it seemed that WBG also had its own tactical adjustments and was not static.
In the BO5 finals, it is very important for the teams to constantly adjust. Once they fall behind and do not change, they will only be beaten all the time. In the analysis of the back and forth in the commentary box,
On the third floor, T1 chose to grab Titan, which On is very good at, by grabbing the ban, quickly ending the first three picks.
The two sides entered the second round of wrestling,
WBG continues to extend its strategic goals in the second round, focusing on the top half,
Put Jace and weapons on the top lane into the ban position, so that there is no hero who can stabilize Gwen, and it can create space for theshy to develop and stabilize lane rights.
But T1 was still stuck in his heart at this time, and Coach Bengi only had one thought,
Then we absolutely cannot let Gu Chuan out as a hero.
In the end, even the T1-level Kalista and Kai'Sa were not going to let go, and the four ADCs appeared neatly on their ban positions.
"On the fourth floor of T1, Zeus chose Kennen. This is one of the few top lane heroes that can be used."
Miller frowned, "And the first four floors of them are all heroes who rush into the formation to start a team! Without Xia, Ogawa's living environment will be very poor during a team fight."
"Now it's WBG's turn to determine the lineup. Should I take EZ Bullhead this time, or EZ Gallo!"
There are only two ADs that have some survivability on the scene, and almost everyone can guess them,
The only thing that can change is the support.
At the WBG battle table,
"With Lao Niu, the pressure on your line will be great. If the opponent reaches level 6 with Verus, they may be locked and die."
Mai Zijian looked at that position worriedly, "Can you withstand it? If not, let's support Braum."
"Believe me, you can fight."
There was no hesitation in Gu Chuan's words, and he settled on the EZ calmly, "Even if I do it a hundred times, he can't beat me in the line-up!"
"Me too!"
On on the side shook his head and shouted, confidently starting to adjust his expression wheel.
When playing with the bell-ringing cow, you must match it with Amumu’s crying expression. The best effect can be achieved when used together.
"Locked!"
"It's still EZ Lao Niu. WBG finally chose to trust his teammates. The two-hand lock was quite decisive!"
Amid Miller's exclamations, many viewers felt a little worried,
Although this bot lane combination is very strong in teamfighting, its laning ability is too weak. In addition, Xiao Lu Bu's performance in the last game was also very impressive. Will his bot lane be directly depleted of plating during the laning period? What?
It’s T1’s last choice,
However, they did not come up with a strong AD in the early stage as everyone imagined. They finally chose the late-stage core Aphelios,
I want to take advantage of WBG's weak laning ability in the early stage to develop normally, and then work hard to improve my team-fighting ability after surviving the laning phase safely.
At the same time, it can also avoid falling into the WBG situation in the previous game and retain a later combat capability.
Although it is very reasonable upon reflection, it can also be seen from another level that Gumayusi no longer thinks about defeating Gu Chuan from the line.
The selection for T1 fifth floor is confirmed! Players on both sides began to constantly adjust their talent runes,
theshy made an unusual change at this time, changing the sprint he often used to weak,
He is also a unique skill brother of Kennen, and has an extraordinary understanding of this hero.
This will not only achieve an almost 50-50 split in the laning phase, but will also put greater restrictions on Kennen during the transition to the team fight phase.
The lineups of both sides have been officially finalized,
WBG top laner Gwen, jungler Foyego, mid laner Lissandra, and bottom lane EZ with Niutou.
T1 top laner Kennen, jungler Monkey, mid laner Ahri, bottom laner Aphelios paired with Titan.
Everything is ready,
Everyone in WBG is gearing up and quietly waiting for the battle to come.
The game enters the loading screen as usual, and the audience is looking forward to the big screen and starts cheering for the team they support!
But after a long few minutes, Summoner's Rift failed to unfold normally.
At this time, an unexpected reminder popped up on the tablet in the commentary box.
"Oh?"
Colonel Guan was a little surprised, "We received the latest news. T1 staff reported that the runes could not be adjusted normally. According to the judgment of the referee team, the game will maintain the original BP and restart the game."
"This fault is relatively rare, so when we have time we can continue to talk about WBG's tactical issues later."
"I think so."
At the WBG battle table,
Gu Chuan, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, felt something was wrong.
This problem of runes being unable to be adjusted has also occurred before. During the group stage, the referee’s decision was to continue normally and maintain the game.
But this time, there was an unusual request to restart the game, which seemed different from usual.
Soon the technical staff redeployed the heroes and BPs of both sides,
Just when the game seemed to re-enter the loading screen normally, both theshy and Gu Chuan immediately noticed a change in details,
Originally, Zeus chose Kennen's normal laning talent, Alley, but after the game was restarted, it suddenly became an unsealed secret.
This is completely different in this sense. Although Kennen with unsealed secrets is rare in the ordinary RANK, most of them are Alley and Conqueror.
But in this game, when the single plus support team is weak, Kennen, who can switch out the purification in advance, is more deadly in team battles.
This is obviously a deliberate adjustment specifically for their summoner skills.
"No, is this all okay?"
theshy scratched his head in confusion and muttered.
After playing in the LPL for so many years, this is the first time he has seen this kind of operation after watching the opponent's summoner's skills and then changing talents.
"How is this allowed? It's unfair."
on also reacted and began to give feedback to the referee in the voice chat.
But soon,
The answer given by the referee team over there is normal,
Now they only have two choices, either to abstain or to continue in the normal flow of the game.
This made everyone in WBG feel a little aggrieved.
"It's okay,"
Gu Chuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of anger, "Since the referee on the other side wants to use such boring tricks, he will not care about our appeal,"
"We defeated them openly in this game and taught those stick referees a lesson on what sportsmanship is."
