Chapter 156 Chapter 155: An unexpected choice!
When the VG team returned to the lounge, they were warmly welcomed by other employees of the training department.
Hongmi looked excited.
In South Korea, he won the OGN championship and the World Championship.
I only went to LPL, but I still haven’t gained anything yet!
LGD won last year's Summer Split. Although he was essentially the head coach with real power, due to Riot regulations, Hongmi, who signed a contract with VG and registered it, could not count his name in his credit book with great fanfare.
In terms of the past two years of coaching VG alone, he really has no outstanding results.
Hongmi was naturally attracted by the high salary, but he is not the kind of person who takes money and does nothing. He works hard and tries every means to improve the team's performance.
This makes the club owner feel that the money is not in vain, and Hongmi itself can maintain its value and renew a big contract.
It's truly a win-win!
During the period when VG was sinking, Hongmi got angry a lot.
Now that he sees that the team is one step away from the LPL championship, he is naturally filled with excitement.
"Isn't it too easy to win?" Jack's face was red, "EDG is not very resistant to beatings!"
Yu Wenbo had full confidence in VG before the game.
But after the final started, he still lamented the team's violent attack, EDG was like a sieve in front of VG, full of loopholes!
The two duels lasted less than 30 minutes, which is absolutely amazing in the current version!
"Puff, you feel so hot today..." Jack looked at Ju Shengbin with envy in his eyes.
Imp held his head high, "I've told you before, Deft is not as good as me!"
His final record in the last game was 11 kills, 1 death and 4 assists, a solid carry-level performance.
Gu Xing went to the restroom, washed his hands and came back, poured ice water into his mouth, and teased his teammates a few words, "I finally understand, puff, as long as you don't say that your opponent is a basket, it can be regarded as a compliment. ”
The lounge was filled with laughter.
Boss Ding Jun beamed even more, "You said before that you were afraid of being beaten by two in the semi-finals, but there is no such precedent in the finals, right?"
He brought a few bottles of champagne today, waiting to open them when the team won.
Now I couldn't hold it in anymore, and I wanted to open the champagne immediately to celebrate.
This summer split, the team’s goal is to enter the global finals.
If they win this final, VG will not only become the new king of the LPL, but also go to the World Championship as the number one seed!
Ding Jun has spent so much money on the League of Legends branch, and now it's finally time to bear fruit. It's okay for Sister Li to be excited and unbearable.
Manager Lu Wenjun was still trying to dissuade her, "Boss, I don't want to open the champagne. Wait a minute..."
Hongmi calmed down her expression and quickly gathered the players together to prepare to emphasize the tactical arrangements for the next game.
Old suburban houses in Seoul, South Korea.
Peanut, who has a delicate face and a thin figure, huddled in a second-hand gaming chair, yawning out of boredom.
He was the only one in the simple base training room.
Other teammates were catching up on sleep in their dormitory rooms.
Logically speaking, ROX should have a good celebration after struggling all summer to finally win the league championship.
For example, a necessary part for SKT to win the championship is to travel to relax and adjust their state.
But ROX didn't do that.
The reason is simple.
Still no money.
After winning the championship, ROX's biggest celebration expense was having a barbecue outside.
The rest of the time, everyone stayed in the dormitory to catch up on sleep, eager to make up for all the sleep they had lost due to hard training in the summer.
Xiaohua slept upside down for two days, and now she finally had time to start a live broadcast.
One is to inform fans and supporters about the current situation, and the other is to make some money to support the team and myself.
Just after chatting with the audience about Smeb and Pray's drinking capacity, they heard a ding-dong system prompt.
A supporter tipped 5,000 won and asked a question.
This is also a feature of Mouse Channel. Viewers can ask the anchor questions through rewards. As long as the questions are not sensitive, they will most likely be answered.
The mechanically rigid female voice of the system echoed in the live broadcast room.
"How do you watch tonight's LPL finals?" Little Peanut was just happy to get a reward worth a bowl of noodles. He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the desktop and suddenly realized, "Yes, there is a game to watch..."
He was catching up on sleep day and night, and almost forgot about it.
Quickly type on the keyboard to search for LPL match live broadcast.
The current situation of LPL's overseas expansion is really not optimistic. Winning the S5 Mid-Season Invitational would have been an excellent opportunity for the league to explore overseas markets and increase traffic and exposure.
But the defeat in the World Championship in the second half of the year instantly disrupted all plans!
The LPL is still a minor league that receives little attention overseas, and is not comparable to the LCK, which has been deeply involved in the international field for a long time.
Little Peanut searched for a long time but couldn't find the Korean stream. In the end, he could only find the English live room.
Although it has entered the finals, there are still not many viewers in the Mouse Channel live broadcast room, and the refresh rate of the chat channel is as slow as a tortoise!
"Not many people are watching..." Peanut muttered, "VG is actually quite strong this year."
The audience in his own live broadcast room was confused.
The vast majority of Koreans are not in the habit of watching LPL now.
After all, apart from SKT’s Ma Run, Hou Ye and Samsung’s Ten Sons, the Korean players who went there to work didn’t have any stars.
Korean netizens generally believe that players come to the LPL to earn money for retirement because they can't make it in the country, or they simply pursue high salaries.
In terms of strength and gold content, LPL is not worth mentioning at all!
The three consecutive championships from S3 to S5 have indeed given the Koreans the confidence.
They think that the LPL is just a re-employment and retirement center for the LCK, and they don't take it seriously at all.
Little Peanut saw the Korean text in the chat channel and explained with helplessness, "We played a training match with VG, and the opponent's performance was really good... In the previous interview, I also said that I was single-killed by Virtue."
No matter how much he can say, he can only say that he understands everything he knows, and there is nothing he can do about it if he doesn't understand.
The LCK keeps scrims very secretive.
If the process is leaked privately, no team will ask them to fight in the future.
However, not many viewers believed Peanut’s words.
[Can you believe it in training matches? Then GoldV also single-handedly killed Faker, and the result was the top 16 in S5? 】
[TSM of S5MSI also claimed to be invincible in training matches, but top laner Dyrus was killed by Clearlove as a wild monster. It was a pure breakthrough! 】
[Let’s put it this way, the S5 championship and runner-up are all LCK teams. If KT hadn’t met KOO in the top eight, there might have been three Korean teams in the top four. What about the LPL? One top eight and two top 16 hahaha]
[Hot knowledge: South Korea has participated in the S competition for 4 years. Only SSO was eliminated in the group stage, and the other teams are at least the top 8]
[I suggest that the LPL team first think about how to break into the quarterfinals of the World Championship, and then try it with the team from the Republic of Korea! 】
His words were full of disdain for the LPL division.
Little Peanut said nothing more.
Anyway, Korean netizens won’t believe it, and he has no obligation to stand up for LPL.
"Watch the game, watch the game..." Xiaohuahua signaled the audience to focus on the LPL finals.
Since someone offered to come to watch the game, Peanut was happy and at ease.
It doesn't take much energy to explain the game, so you can just fish for a long time.
"I have one thing to say: I am optimistic about VG," Xiaohuahua said seriously, "Virtue players are very good."
Another reason why he watched the LPL finals today was because of Gu Xing.
The two of them have a good relationship now, and they chat with each other every day when they have nothing to do in the rankings.
The other party sent a congratulatory message before the start of the LCK Summer Finals, and Little Peanut still remembered it in his heart.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were still joking after hearing this.
Peanut saw one of them - aren't you a fan of Clearlove? Why do you support VG?
At the beginning of this summer competition, Xiao Peanut once accepted an interview with the media and said that he liked Clearlove very much and wanted to play against him.
That interview report was also reprinted in China, which surprised many fans of the factory director.
When Little Peanut saw this question, he answered without hesitation, "Idols are idols. Virtue players and I are personal friends."
"Furthermore, EDG has now advanced to the S6 Global Finals. I naturally support VG. If they win the championship, they can also enter the World Championship. Isn't it a good thing?"
This logic successfully convinced Korean netizens.
The LPL English streaming screen is still replaying the highlight moments of the second game of the finals.
Little Peanut didn't watch the live broadcast of the last game, so he was particularly concerned at this time.
In the opening battle between the two sides in the bottom lane, VG relied on a tacit understanding of blocking guns and moving to protect teammates with residual health from being killed instantly by EDG's male gun + EZ, maximizing their own combat power and draining the enemy's energy.
"Hmm..." Peanut opened a package of squid and peanut balls from the snack box next to him, and praised with a calm expression, "Don't poke me, VG!"
In his opinion, this kind of gun-blocking operation is very basic.
If the players in the team coordinate better, it can be achieved.
Peanut stuffed a snack into his mouth. The crispy shell was sprinkled with squid powder and there was a whole peanut kernel inside.
The moment you bite it into pieces, the fresh aroma of squid and the unique oily aroma of peanuts spread in your mouth.
This snack was bought by the manager and team leader Shizhen a few days ago to help the team members cushion their stomachs during training.
In just a few days, a box of snacks was almost eaten by teammates.
Among them, Smeb made a great contribution. This peanut ball is a great drinker. He likes to drink two bottles when he has nothing to do, and consumes a lot of snacks.
Little Peanut is still planning his life. The drinking age limit in Korea is relatively strict. If you are younger than you want to drink, no hotel will sell it. Besides, he looks too immature and looks like he is underage.
Wait until next year and he can go out with his teammates for three or five bottles openly...
Peanut is still thinking about his future life.
The highlight moment of the LPL English stream has switched to the scene of the confrontation between Gu Xing and Ming Kai in the middle tower.
Suddenly there was a clicking sound. Peanut accidentally used too much force and crushed another squid and peanut ball. The upper and lower teeth even touched together and there was a muffled sound.
"(What)?" He looked at the screen in disbelief.
The beer man in the picture decisively attacked when the male gun walked out of the range of the rolling barrel.
Flashing E+R blew Graves back, just in time to detonate the rolling barrel, and combined with the basic attack blessed with W [Drunken Fury], successfully completed the single kill!
Netizens in the Little Peanut live broadcast room also saw Gu Xing’s operation.
Question marks, symbolizing laughter, and compliments on a good game quickly occupied the chat channel!
Peanut's barrel play was average, and this was the first time he saw someone playing geometric barrel in a professional arena.
"As expected of Virtue..." Little Peanut sighed, "What a powerful wine barrel!"
Since Peanut's ROX won the summer split this year, the team's popularity has soared. After all, the audience likes to watch this kind of counterattack plot.
The number of fans of Little Peanut, who was originally a popular player in the team, has skyrocketed again, and the number of viewers during the live broadcast has also continued to rise!
Now there are tens of thousands of people watching at the Mouse Stage at the same time.
Although it is not comparable to Faker - Lee Sang Hyuk's peak audience was as high as 24.5W when he premiered on Mouse Channel, setting a record in Twitch history.
However, in terms of actual number of viewers, Peanut is still considered a big anchor.
Many Korean netizens followed Peanut to watch the LPL finals, which they usually didn't care about, and were surprised by Gu Xing's operation.
And the backdrop being shown was actually Clearlove!
EDG is one of the few LPL teams that Korean netizens are familiar with.
The first is the S5 mid-season. EDG once defeated SKT in BO5, which left a deep impression on many Koreans.
Second, there are many Korean players in the team.
If nothing else, EDG's ability to select Korean players is indeed top-notch.
The idea of building the team is very simple. Korean players mainly buy double C.
The management knows that most Koreans must have communication problems when they first arrive, so they choose positions where they can do less communication.
Double C is more suitable. You can usually just be a thug. You can save the team by just one operation.
The main linker, the wild assistant, chooses Chinese people with good brains to ensure that the team can link up.
As for placing orders...
The top laner has Big Tree, Maokai and Twisted Dryad in rotation, which is definitely enough!
It is precisely because of this idea of team building that EDG found Deft and Fat General, as well as subsequent juniors, who are all very famous players in Korea.
Especially Deft, compared to the little devil Goo Sung Bin, he is nicknamed Alpaca and has a soft personality. He is well-known in the professional circle, ridiculously popular, and has an exaggerated number of fans.
Due to various factors, Korean netizens have a deep understanding of EDG.
Clearlove is also very famous in Korea.
The FMVP of S5 mid-season, the god of Widow Nunu.
Are you being manipulated by the newbie Virtue?
The highlight moments become more magical the further you look at them.
Korean netizens were surprised to find that Mingkai's male gun couldn't even defend the jungle, allowing Li Keg to do evil in the EDG camp, and he could get himself trapped in it by brushing his own wild monsters!
In the last wave of team battle, Gu Xing fired a nuclear bomb explosion, and even completed rounds of screen swiping in the chat channel!
The audience marveled at the amazing damage done by the full-output Beer Man.
After the mid-lane wine barrel trend in the S3 season ended, the nuclear bomb stream did not appear in the professional arena for a long time. When it first appeared, it showed an extremely eye-catching visual impact!
"No need to guess the MVP of this round, right?" Xiaohuahua smiled happily, "Although Brother Shengbin performed very well, he is definitely not as outstanding as Virtue!"
While talking, the director announced the MVP candidate.
Gu Xing's makeup photo appeared in front of everyone, and the rough appearance of the wine barrel behind him further enhanced his handsome appearance.
The battle damage ratio of 7 kills, 0 deaths and 10 assists, and the team damage ratio was 24.4%.
The counter economic lead reached an exaggerated +4839!
“This data is so outrageous,” even Little Peanut was frightened, “4839’s economy is leading?”
In his opinion, it was outrageous that a wine barrel could beat a male gun like this. It was outrageous. It was outrageous.
Korean audiences did not expect that there was such data.
The current LCK pursues an operational philosophy with a very low level of bloodshed. Except for teams like ROX, they are not very offensive and rarely have such an exaggerated matchup gap.
[What? This is a damage ratio of 24.4%. Is it really something a jungler can achieve? 】
[Is the LPL so bad? It’s really boring to unilaterally beat someone]
[I took a look and found that VG stands out in the LPL and is basically the only one in its class]
[That only proves that the LPL sucks. One team in one division is just fine]
[Why are they saying that VG can win? Maybe EDG will let the second team chase the third team? 】
[Baby, you’re hinting to SKT, right? Don’t reveal your address if you can, otherwise I’ll have to send you some blades! 】
Little Peanut saw that the rhythm was getting further and further off track, so he quickly got back on track.
"If EDG is beaten like this, they will have to reflect backstage..." He guessed casually and filled his mouth with another squid peanut ball.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the EDG lounge almost solidified.
Abramovich, who has been promoted to the club's management, has a high-pitched voice as always.
"Mingkai, how did you play in the last game?" He looked anxious, "Is there something wrong with your thinking? I didn't even see it!"
Several other team members sat in silence on their chairs.
Deft couldn't understand what Abramovich was talking about. He put his hand on his forehead and kept chewing gum in his mouth, still retaining the habit he had during the game.
Standing at the door, Clearlove listened to her old colleague criticizing her. She subconsciously turned back and said in a not very good tone, "What's wrong with your thinking?"
"You are the commander, can you make your own thoughts clear?" Abramovich clapped his hands hard and made a clear sound, trying to wake up the players in this way, "It will always be a loss to catch people. If you catch the top laner, you will be jumped in the bottom lane. Ta, grabbed the bottom lane and was killed... Li Zai Gan God Demon? "
By the end of his speech, his Mandarin was no longer standard.
Putting aside his ancient character, Abramovich's team leadership ability is second to none among domestic coaches.
S5MSI's mid laner, Morgana, killed Faker and her dream BP was really outstanding.
As delicate as he is, he can certainly see Mingkai's crotch-stretching performance in the second game.
After being defeated by VG in two consecutive games, Abramovich's attitude was not as gentle as usual.
When the factory director saw that everyone in the lounge was focusing on him, his face suddenly turned red.
He stuttered back in desperation, "Yes, the wine barrel opposite is in my jungle area. You can obviously push the line to help me, why don't you come? Why do you want to marry Taliyah?"
Mingkai spread his hands to show his helplessness.
"The bottom lane keeps asking me to go, how can I go? People keep coming into my jungle!"
It’s not that the factory director doesn’t know how big his problem is.
He just saw Abu lecturing him in front of other people in the training department, so he subconsciously spoke harshly first.
Abu's lips parted for a moment, and he decided to take Mingkai out first.
He knew that Clearlove was a little too confused, or a little too far in the dark. At this time, he must do something he had never done before, something very radical.
Scold Ming Kai awake.
After the two left, the lounge returned to dead silence.
The head coach, Kuai Xing, pretended to be deaf and said nothing.
The boss Ed Zhu stood up and said, "Brother, cheer up. As long as we make good use of our right to choose sides, the opponent will panic after catching up in the first round."
"VG's League of Legends branch has little foundation. If we break his morale, we can gain momentum!"
In his opinion, VG is really strong.
But so far in the summer split, the road has been going very smoothly.
Even when JackeyLove came on the court in the middle and late stages, it didn't disrupt their winning streak.
As the saying goes, if you make great efforts, they will fail again and again.
If VG can be defeated once, the opponent will inevitably feel flustered when they taste the long-lost taste of defeat.
By then, EDG may really have a chance to let two chase three!
"We have a home field advantage in the finals held at home." Ed Zhu joked with a smile, trying to understand the players' mentality.
Guangzhou can definitely be called his hometown.
EDG was originally founded in Yangcheng, and this corner of the city is very familiar to Ed Zhu.
Mouse was quite optimistic. Seeing that his boss was not frustrated by the team's consecutive losses, he immediately felt at ease and smiled to tease the field around him.
"That's it, smile more..." Ed Zhu said in a gentle tone, "The team has entered the World Championship, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"The one who is really worried is VG. They lost the finals and had to prepare for the bubble game."
What he said makes sense.
Tian Tian's face brightened slightly.
Abu finally led Mingkai back.
Without other teammates, the factory director frankly admitted his mistakes in the face of the scolding from his old colleagues.
I can only say that I feel very unhappy, but there is no reason to refute it.
"Next game..." Abu habitually gave orders, "Let Scout play. Let's take the blue side. You can play well."
This is the job of the head coach, but the Rapid Star has no objections and is obviously used to it.
The primary school boy nodded like a fool.
"I will definitely work harder." He said after a moment of silence.
I have been in LPL for less than half a year, and my Chinese vocabulary is not yet rich. I can only speak simple and plain words, excluding necessary communication in the arena.
In the first two games, he had a hard time facing Mr. Hou.
Having spent some time with Easyhoon in SKT, Scout knew what this gentle-faced brother was like.
The middle road is an airtight net.
When the Marquis couldn't get the Ice Girl, his roaming frequency was noticeably less, and he spent most of his time in the middle lane to make up for his growth.
But the younger brother can’t support his teammates!
In the last game, he played Malzahar. He obviously had the power to push the lane after reaching level 6, but Easyhoon used his body to resist the damage of E [Evil Star Illusion], which greatly reduced his troop clearing efficiency!
Scout knows it.
Marquis's stability is not to hide alone under the tower and bind the spirit, allowing the opponent's mid laner to wander around. He laughs and brushes his teammates when they are caught.
Instead, he pulls his opponent to develop in the middle!
If he doesn't leave, his opponent won't be able to leave either!
Drag the enemy into the development rhythm that Easyhoon is best at, and then use his rich experience to defeat it!
The simplest and most effective way to break through the Marquis' defense is to use force to break through it.
As long as the hard power in the lane is one level better than that of Hou Ye, he can forcefully break through the constraints imposed by him, suppress Easyhoon and provide roaming support.
Say it simply.
Looking at the five major leagues in the world, there are very few mid laners who can do this!
Hou Ye's strength has declined slightly from his peak, but it is not something that a new mid laner, a junior, can handle.
Scout's mind was spinning a thousand times, thinking about how to deal with the next round.
The fat general who was huddled in the corner lowered his waist and continued watching the show with the substitute Korol.
Ever since the young boy joined EDG, he knew that he would be gradually marginalized.
Although he was born in early 1997 and is only one year older than Scout, he already looks like a mid laner from two eras.
At 19 years old, he is still in his prime.
But the frequent back pain does not allow me to carry out high-intensity training!
The dull pain that often occurs when appearing on the stage will interfere with Pawn's concentration, and his continued decline is worrying.
If we play one or two BO5s, maybe there will be no problem.
But League of Legends is a league system, and the time span of a season is very long, and Pawn's back cannot hold out for that long.
EDG can only find a new mid laner.
The addition of Scout has undoubtedly squeezed Fat General's status in the team.
The younger brother is younger and in much better health than him. He will obviously have a long career, and the room for future growth is visible to the naked eye!
Moreover, since there were no results before, the price is relatively cheap, and the salary paid by the team is much less.
The Fat General knew that after this season, EDG was destined not to renew his contract.
Thinking about it, you know, there is a more perfect substitute, why should you spend a lot of money to renew your MSI+S champion mid laner?
Take this final as an example.
With two games behind, Fat General is undoubtedly a more suitable person for EDG.
He has rich experience in competitions, a deeper hero pool, and is no less powerful.
But Abramovich did not choose to substitute.
Attitude speaks for itself.
Behind zero to two, what would happen to the mentality of the little boy if the fat general was replaced?
It seems that EDG does not trust Scout, the new kid.
Anyway, the team has locked in a spot for the World Championship, so it should take a longer-term view - "EDG is already studying its opponents for the World Championship."
It just so happened that the staff knocked on the door to remind us to get ready to play.
EDG players stood up one after another and left the room with paper cups amid the comfort and encouragement from the training department employees.
Compared with the bustling crowd, the bench where Fat General and Korol were sitting was much deserted.
Before the team members left, Pawn saw his good brother Deft looking back at him.
……
"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2016 LPL Summer Finals!"
Seeing that VG was leading 2-0, Wawa's voice immediately became louder as he had the opportunity to get off work early.
"VG holds three match points, and victory is very close. As long as they can grasp it, they can reach the top with a tight breath!"
Miller echoed from the side, and then gave advice to the disadvantaged team, "EDG needs to adjust its jungle strategy and cannot let Xiao Gu continue to invade!"
He had seen how powerful Gu Xing was.
Is there anything wrong with chasing a man with a barrel in the wild and beating him with it?
The director focused the camera on Gu Xing.
In the picture, he has a bright smile and his long, fair fingers are tapping on the keyboard. It seems that he is still typing and chatting with his opponent.
The 17,000 spectators in the stands also came to their senses, shouting and chanting the names of their favorite players or teams in their seats.
Gu Pan and Shen Guanshan also had a whim and shouted twice after the die-hard fans behind them waving the silver VG team flag.
The parents of the Gu family are not as energetic as young people, but they bang the light stick hard to make a dull sound to express their support for their son.
Until a sonorous and powerful crisp sound came, the BP panel appeared on the giant funnel screen in the center of the venue, arousing deafening cheers in the stands!
"EDG is on the blue side in the third game. Come up and kill Xiao Gu's Leopard Girl first!"
As the 6.15 version of the playoffs progresses, professional teams are also aware of Nidalee's strength.
After studying the patch, I came to the conclusion that it seemed to be weakened, but in fact it was enhanced. Leopard Girl's appearance rate and ban rate continued to increase.
EDG has seen the ferocity of Gu Xingbao Girl before, and Factory Director's Nidalee is usable but not proficient, so it's not worth grabbing.
Simply disable it.
Hongmi's idea is still to block Yanque first.
EDG chose to change their formation.
Quick Star reversed the idea of banning VG's mid-range in the first two rounds, and banned the male gun in the second round!
"Did you realize that you couldn't control Xiao Gu in the first two games and decided to attack the jungle position?" Watanabe looked excited. "No team has tried it before, but in the end they all failed!"
Hongmi paced repeatedly behind the player bench, "We are still banning cards... Xiao Gu's opponent may have to avoid a jungle confrontation with you, so be prepared."
EDG eliminated two wild core heroes, making it clear that they did not want to compete with Gu Xing in the jungle, but instead tried their best to leave the stage to the players of the other three lanes.
When Gu Xing heard the reminder from his head coach, he was full of confidence, "Don't worry, is it the factory director who has the final say on whether to hit the jungle or not?"
"That's right," Jin Wenhe, who came to the stage to translate, was full of confidence in his jungler and pressed his shoulders twice. "Whether the canyon is in chaos today depends on Xiao Gu's face!"
EDG's last ban position gave Xiao Duan the auxiliary troll who performed well in the first two games.
Hongmi raised the corners of his mouth.
He saw through the other party's little tricks.
"Ban Braum, and the opponent will be very passive!"
When EDG banned trolls, they deliberately waited until the last two seconds to make a decision.
It seems difficult.
But Redmi knows that this is the game laid out by EDG.
If you are careless, you will be fooled by the other party!
If Hongmi does not ban Braum, but instead blocks other characters, the situation VG will face next will be very embarrassing.
EDG is likely to grab the ice first and throw the problem to them.
The only shooter in the current version that can challenge Han Bing is Jhin.
But it’s best not to pick Braum when choosing Jhin, as these two heroes are incompatible.
With Jhin's pitiful attack speed, it takes a lot of effort to play Braum's passive.
If VG doesn’t take Bronn.
EDG will form the Freljord combination of Ice + Braum, which can advance, attack, retreat or defend. The current version is undoubtedly the T0 bottom lane!
And Jhin, who has lost the troll, can't compete with EDG with any support!
The quick abacus struck loudly.
Unfortunately it's still too tender.
In front of Hongmi, this plan was too eye-catching and was easily destroyed.
He chose to ban Braum and kicked the ball to EDG!
If the opponent grabs the ice, VG can lock Jin and another strong support, and the laning ability will definitely not be bad.
If EDG doesn't grab the ice, then VG can laugh at Ashe and use the red side's second choice to get other versions of the character!
No matter how you calculate it, VG will not lose!
Kuai Xing's face turned pale for a moment when he saw Hong Mi's reaction being so quick and precise.
By the third set of the final, everyone had almost figured out the bottom line.
If you hide your moves again, you really have to hide them until the World Championships.
EDG had a lot of preparation for this final.
The first-level invasion routine of the bottom lane combination, which has been used since the semifinals, was tricked by Gu Xing's weird opening route in the first game of VG. They lost their wives and lost troops.
Top laner Mouse's captain's trump card was restrained to death by Long Ge's Rambo, and he couldn't use it at all.
The high-speed linkage system of mid laner Yanque's cards was blocked by VG for three consecutive games, making it impossible to even choose!
All three routines were countered. At this point, EDG is at the end of its rope!
Fast Star could only bite the bullet and lock Thresh down first.
Two strong shooters, Han Bing and Jhin, are outside.
However, the matching supports - Braum and Troll were both killed and placed in the ban position.
There are not many supporting characters in the remaining version.
Thresh, which is both offensive and defensive, is undoubtedly the top choice among them.
"VG locked Shen and Ice Girl, and first got the mid-to-upper heroes that they had not released in the first two games!"
I quickly thought about it before choosing Ice and Rek'Sai.
This time he has the backhand of Ashe + Thresh, and he is not afraid that VG will imitate the blind monk in the first game.
It's difficult for the opponent to pick Li Qing to enter the field. If he rushes in rashly, it's easy to lose control and be defeated!
However, Hongmi has already simulated this situation in its mind and thought of a response plan.
"VG got ADC Jhin and the auxiliary Tauren Chieftain!"
Miller pondered for a moment and commented, "The combination is not very strong in laning, but the intensity of small-scale team battles is very high, and the functionality is full!"
"VG's bottom lane duo is all about control, and their ability to cooperate with the jungler is very strong!"
EDG's last two picks were top laner Gnar and mid laner Syndra, which together made up for the shortcomings of the lineup.
"Xiao Gu, this game is still up to you," Hongmi gave Gu Xing ample room to develop, "Is it okay?"
Gu Xing nodded, "Just leave it to me, EDG can't make trouble."
Wawa is quite looking forward to it, "VG gave the last counter position to jungler Xiao Gu, let's see what role he will choose..."
"EDG's lineup is not too afraid of entry-level heroes like Lee Sin, and can easily deal with them."
He clarified his thoughts, "There aren't many characters left who can defeat Rek'Sai!"
I saw that the last hero selection box in VG was occupied by the avatar of a character who had never appeared in the playoffs!
"Kindred?!"
Miller blurted out in surprise.
"Can this version of Kindred still be played?"
In the middle of the summer season, that knife's basic armor value was weakened and it hurt too much!
Coupled with the fact that W [Wolf Frenzy] no longer provides a blood regeneration effect, Kindred's farm life is very problematic.
As soon as the patch came out, all professional teams stopped touching Kindred.
Gu Xing felt that the strength of the Yonghunting Twins was greatly weakened.
There is really no need for professional teams to choose Qian Jue under normal circumstances. There are more versions of the character available.
But nothing is absolute.
Such as now.
Looking at the other four heroes of VG, they all have control skills, which are in line with the attributes of tool men, but the output intensity is not high.
The team urgently needs a late-stage core jungler to provide VG with teamfight output.
Kindred, as a shooter, can perfectly meet this requirement.
And Kindred has another advantage.
It's especially easy to beat Rek'Sai.
Q [Dance of Arrows] frequently crosses the wall and can constantly kite and pull the excavator, making it difficult for the enemy to get close!
At the same time, the current version of Rek'Sai's ultimate has no direct damage effect.
It is completely impossible to kill Kindred instantly with the help of an excavator. The most it can do is cripple it with one set.
When Kindred was popular in the early and mid-summer games, Rek'Sai was not so rampant.
After the twins were slashed in Everhunt, Rek'Sai came to the limelight.
Gu Xing chose Qian Jue just because he knew he was the excavator and had the support of the lineup.
Shen Guanshan's eyes were full of energy in the stands.
Kindred is her best and only hero.
Now that I see him again on the field, I am overjoyed and ready to gain some experience.
Quick Star looked flustered when he saw the situation.
Qian Jue's appearance was not included in his emergency plan!
He banned the male spear and leopard girl, but spared the other wild core hero Qian Jue.
It's because no one uses this hero.
Who would dare to choose Gu Xing!
But the done thing is done.
The Rapid Stars are unable to change and can only hope that the players can survive this hurdle.
The lineups of both sides have now been determined.
Blue side EDG: top laner Gnar, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Syndra, bottom lane Ice + Thresh.
Red side VG: top laner Shen, jungler Qian Jue, mid laner Ice Girl, bottom lane Jhin + Niutou.
"VG put their money on Xiao Gu. Knowing that the jungler was in hot shape today, they were ready to let him use Kindred to end the game!"
Miller gushed, "The core output of EDG's lineup will be much more. As long as one or two points are fattened, it is possible to lead the team to victory!"
Redmi also specifically warned before taking off the headphones.
"Want to win this game, try to control your mistakes, and pay attention to Xiao Gu's instructions..."
Seeing that the team members listened to their hearts, he went to the center of the stage to shake hands with the fast star.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Summoner's Rift arrives again!
