Chapter 23 Give the ball to Cube
Not to mention the psychological pressure.
As the saying goes, one can make great progress, then it will fade, and three times it will be exhausted. Being chased twice in a row with three match points in hand, there is no doubt that the entire LNG team is facing a huge psychological test.
As the live broadcast camera switched to the hero selection interface, the BP link of the decisive game officially began.
I don’t know whether it was because of the head iron or other tactical considerations, but LNG still resolutely chose the red side in this round.
Among the top three players on both sides, RA on the blue side did not make much changes, while LNG on the red side changed their previous BP thinking and chose to release both Leopard Girl and Crocodile.
RA banned the three heroes Qinggangying, Ziggs and Kennen in the first three moves, while LNG used three mid laners in a row, sending LeBlanc, Yasuo and Syndra to the position.
"Sure enough, the BP idea of LNG's hand is already very clear." Colonel Guan said: "I don't care about anything else. I'll let you all play with Crocodile and Leopard Girl. My goal in this hand is to press all the heroes that JOJO can use easily. Die.”
After experiencing two consecutive losses, the coaches and players of the LNG team have deeply realized that Fang Jie is the RA team's biggest chance of winning, and he is the link they need to target with all their strength.
As long as Fang Jie in the middle is misfired, it will be difficult for the rest of the RA team to have the ability to carry the game.
"Then the question is, will RA grab the crocodile or the leopard girl?" 957 is very interested in RA's selection for the first floor.
Crocodile is Cube's signature hero. After getting this hero, he can at least stabilize the situation in the early stage and avoid facing an early collapse.
Moreover, Crocodile has extremely powerful combat capabilities in early small-scale team battles, and can easily cooperate with the jungler to cause kills in the laning phase.
This is also the reason why LNG did not give this hero to RA for four consecutive games.
The hero Leopard Girl has been Le Yan's golden signature since his debut. He has chosen this hero six times in this year's summer split and won all of them.
In other words, when he gets the Leopard Girl, which he is very good at, Leyan also has a strong carry ability.
However, it can be seen from the BP choices made by LNG that they obviously think that Fang Jie getting his favorite hero in the mid lane position is more terrifying than letting Le Yan get Leopard Girl.
And if the RA on the first floor does not choose Leopard Girl, LNG can use it as a substitute and let Tarzan control this hero.
It was RA's turn to select players. RA hesitated for a moment on the first floor, and finally locked the crocodile.
"It seems RA still wants to help stabilize the situation on the road first." Rita said.
LNG did not choose to get the Leopard Girl for Tarzan, but locked Foego and Ashe on the first and second floors.
This Foego has the possibility of swinging in the jungle. Ah Le has used this hero many times in the playoffs and achieved quite good results.
Foyego's biggest advantage on the line is his basic attack range. The 225-yard attack range can be used by top laners who are good at pulling, allowing him to take the lead in blood exchanges when fighting against melee heroes.
As for Ashe's choice, it proves that LNG has given up on the tactical idea of using heroes like Aphelios to ensure late-stage capabilities, and has chosen to focus on functionality in the early and mid-term.
As a frequent player in the functional AD field, although Ai Xi's late output ability is relatively insufficient, and netizens often complain about "Master Ai, stop scratching" due to her scraping-level damage, but correspondingly, she is almost the strongest in the AD position. Its functionality, whether it is the long-distance group start with the ultimate move, the deceleration effect of the basic attack and W skill, and the field-of-view ability of the E skill, will bring great help to the team.
"This..." Colonel Guan hesitated a little and said: "Tarzan didn't fight for it? Is he going to let all the crocodile and leopard girls go to RA?"
Originally, Colonel Guan thought that since RA chose the hero Crocodile on the first floor, LNG would definitely lock the Leopard Girl for Tarzan on the first two floors, and would not give RA the possibility of getting the Crocodile-Leopard combination.
After all, the Crocodile Leopard combination can be regarded as a classic top and jungle combination. The mixed damage of AD and AP and high burst, coupled with the stable control provided by the Crocodile's W skill can ensure the hit rate of the Leopard Girl's Q skill, making this combination a gank efficiency. An extremely golden partner.
However, what surprised Colonel Guan was yet to come.
Since LNG generously released all the Crocodile and Leopard Girls, RA definitely has no reason not to take them.
However, RA did not lock Leopard Girl on the second and third floors, but chose to take out the bottom duo of Verus and Thresh first.
"Ah, did RA raise the priority of the bot lane so high?" Even 957 expressed confusion about this choice.
In the current version, which mainly focuses on the mid and jungle, it stands to reason that one should either quickly lock down the Crocodile and Leopard combination, or take advantage of the fact that there is still room for choice and give Fang Jie an advantageous hero first.
Could it be that RA has some designs on BP?
Back to LNG's selection process, LNG decisively locked up Jace for Ale on the third floor.
LNG's BP idea for the top lane has always been very clear, which is to let Ale suppress the lane.
In the second round of pulling, since RA did not choose to lock Leopard Girl for Leyan in the first round, LNG indeed directly knocked her out in the fourth pulling position.
The RA on the blue side chose to remove Braum in the auxiliary position, preventing LNG from getting Ashgabulon's double polar combination.
LNG continued to target the middle in the fifth move and blocked Fang Jie's Tsar in the first move.
With five switches and four switches in the middle, Fang Jie experienced the luxurious treatment that only top mid laners like Rookie, Scout and Doinb could enjoy.
The blue side took advantage of Titan in the last move and continued to limit the choice of heroes in the LNG auxiliary position.
Next comes the crucial second round of selection. What kind of tactical arrangements the two sides have in terms of BP, and whether they have set up a BP trap for the other party, all suspense will be revealed in this link.
The red side's fourth pick immediately surprised the commentary box.
When he saw LNG locking Seraphine on the fourth floor, Colonel Guan looked shocked and said: "Ice Seraphine?"
In this version with strong support, LNG actually locked up a combination like Ice Seraphine and forced the line to suppress it!
Isn't this too radical?
In the BO5 decider, LNG’s gambling nature was fully exposed.
Jace, Ice and Seraphine, with only one mid-range unit left, what can LNG do to ensure its output capability in the later stage?
What's more, LNG also personally sent the Tsar, who is most suitable for the late AP core in the current version, as a trigger.
However, RA's fourth-hand selection was enough to surprise them.
RA actually locked Le Yan with the Spider Queen on the fourth floor!
"Come on, come on, both teams have come up with something new in the final round!" Colonel Guan said with excitement.
As for the game commentators, they have long been tired of seeing the same kind of unchanging BP. Both sides are picking out the same heroes, which will be boring to anyone.
This game is obviously different.
Both Seraphine and Spider Queen are heroes who have not appeared on the field for a long time!
The most important thing is that both sides still made such a hero choice in the BO5 decider.
This undoubtedly made the commentators and the audience more enthusiastic about watching the game.
The moment RA locked the spider, several commentators also understood RA's intention of making this choice.
Spider and Leopard Girl are both junglers with extremely high AP output in the early stage, and both have the disadvantage of insufficient teamfighting ability in the mid-to-late stage. Compared with the early stage, Leopard Girl obviously has higher mobility and jungle clearing speed. .
The most obvious advantage between Spider and Leopard Girl is that Spider has a stronger ability to jump over towers.
Spider, the hero, can be said to be born specifically for jumping over towers.
Once this selection was locked, the finger was pointed directly at Ale's Jayce.
Is RA going to use the Spider-Crocodile combination to forcefully penetrate LNG's top lane?
Even if Jace's path can be penetrated, the spider's development will not improve much in team battles.
RA is obviously trying to fatten up Cube’s predator Yao.
Be good.
No one expected that RA would make such a tactical choice in this BO5 decider.
They actually chose to hand the ball to the Cube players!
