Chapter 208 Chapter 207: Do you still believe it now?
"Two to one!"
Miller tore his vocal cords wantonly, his voice distorted, telling his inner excitement, "With two match points in hand, VG pushed ROX into a desperate situation!"
"The direction of this BO5 is unexpected," Wawa said in an equally impassioned voice, "VG's performance after getting the backhand lineup was very eye-catching. Whether it was mid-term operations or mid-to-late team battle handling, it was flawless!"< br>
"Xiao Gu and Imp completely dominated the battle. With the best protection of the other three teammates, their wave output was full and the battlefield was cleaned up!"
Seeing Qian Jue's last basic attack destroying the ROX base crystal, Shen Guanshan let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense body suddenly relaxed.
In the team battles in the middle and late stages of the entire game, VG was like a ship fighting against the waves. Although the Tigers seemed to be crumbling under the stormy offensive, they narrowly failed to capsize in the end.
Gu Pan's facial expression also relaxed visibly.
She didn't understand the game very well. She saw that VG's economic advantage was getting bigger and bigger from the mid-term, but they were still passively responding to the challenge. She couldn't figure out the specific reasons, and her heart was always hanging high, for fear that the team would be overturned.
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room also had the same idea.
[Guigui...ROX's charge is really fierce, I'm worried that VG can't stop it]
[The Tigers are ruthless enough. Smeb Bobo's entry was a thunderbolt. If it weren't for VG's powerful backhand, Kennen would have taken off! 】
[VG’s team fighting level is too fierce. I haven’t seen the second team except SKT with this ultimate backhand lineup be effective]
[Have times changed? VG was able to get match points from the Tigers! 】
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! I must be dazzled]
[VG is so outrageous that a shark can be found in the LPL fish pond! 】
Shen Guanshan saw the overwhelming barrage covering the live broadcast screen, and quickly stretched out his finger to turn it off.
When she saw her boyfriend in the camera, she lay back on the table with satisfaction.
Gu Xing stood up, raised his lips and high-fived his teammates.
"Nice...well done, brothers!" There was endless joy in his voice, and he didn't forget to pat Li Zhixun on the shoulder.
Easyhoon fulfilled his promise during this team battle.
As long as he is alive, it is absolutely impossible for Gu Xing to die.
E [Encourage] plus the additional recovery from the Holy Grail, ensure that your jungler survives safely in team battles!
In addition, the incense burner's shield milk bonus and attack speed increase also greatly improve Gu Xing's combat effectiveness!
Li Zhixun forced a smile, his face turned a little pale, and he rubbed his frown in an effort to relax himself.
The mid laner Karma he chose in this game seems to be very easy to fight in the team battle. He only needs to give all the shields to the two output points in the back row.
But the truth is far from being as simple as imagined.
ROX is too strong.
Rao is that VG's vision layout is very standard in the balance of power and when gaining an advantage in the follow-up.
But the Rock Tiger can always find unexpected positions and launch ferocious offensives at weird times!
They also have a tacit understanding of team battles and a unique understanding of team battles.
They won't deal damage instantly. Because of the lack of lineup control, Gu Xing's Kindred can always use his ultimate move.
ROX simply kept some of its skills, and after Kindred opened up, let Little Peanut kick the back row out of the range of the Sheep Spirit Resurrection Shelter, and then throw them out to kill them instantly!
In this case, Li Zhixun had to provide a shield for Gu Xing in the shortest possible time, and even had to use his body to resist the opponent's skills.
The reaction speed of the older mid laner Easyhoon is not as agile as that of Xiao Duan.
All he could rely on was experience.
Li Zhixun made pre-calculations in his mind of all the instant-kill skills that ROX might throw out in advance, and designed a solution!
Just wait until the chaotic team battle to perform the corresponding operations, and the demand on your own reaction speed will not be too high.
A style of play similar to experience summarization is very suitable for veteran players who have enough game experience to support themselves in thinking about the trend of team battles.
But even so.
ROX's powerful impact sometimes makes it difficult for Li Zhixun to guard against it!
Moreover, there are too many details to consider in Easyhoon's style of play. Unlike operational players, who can react purely by talent and hand speed, the mental consumption is relatively small, and it is okay to sustain a whole BO5 game with high intensity.
Gu Xing is a typical example.
He relies on reaction to operate, and his command relies on consciousness.
The two don't delay each other, and coupled with being young and in good health, they can completely withstand it.
After Li Zhixun finished the game, his mind turned into a ball of mush. He took off his headphones and couldn't calm down for a while.
Gu Xing put his arm around Imp's increasingly rounded shoulders, and the two of them sang and boasted.
"I just bought mercury for the last round, but it's a pity that you shot the crystal arrow and stunned the little peanut. I didn't even have a chance to use it!"
He made the mercury scimitar mainly to counter the blind monk's ultimate move.
Although the Raptor's Tail Swing is a knock-up, this version of Mercury can now transfer displacement skills or flash in advance after being used in the air.
Gu Xing only needs to activate mercury when the blind monk raises his foot to kick out his ultimate move, and then uses Q [Dance of Arrows] to widen the distance laterally and avoid being kicked by the tail of the raptor. He will be 800 yards away from the Sheep Spirit Life. .
As long as he can stay within the shelter of the sheep spirit, he can enjoy the HP recovery effect of the level 3 ultimate move, and with Nami and Karma's shield + treatment, ROX will have no way to defeat Gu Xing!
Imp was still replying carelessly, "I can't help it, who made me react too quickly? The hot blind monk on the other side couldn't get in at all!"
He looked normal.
Although Gu Shengbin and Li Jixun are both veteran players who started their careers in the S2 season.
But he was much younger than the Marquis at that time!
Gu Shengbin, who was born in 1995, is only 21 years old now, similar to SKT's 96Line who was at its peak.
Moreover, the ADC is relatively less interested in ideas. What he needs is hard operations and crazy walking and slashing. If his hand speed is fast enough, he has a natural advantage in this position.
After quitting drinking, Gu Shengbin was still full of energy after three games. The excitement after winning has not yet been digested. It seems that there is no problem in playing a few more games!
Duan Deliang was still adjusting his breathing.
He could feel his heart beating violently in his chest, and his fingertips were trembling as he grabbed the paper cup and poured ice into his mouth.
Allen Chu had a stocky figure, and his gentle and generous face was full of excitement. He hooked Duan Deliang's neck and kept shaking.
The 22,350 spectators in Madison Garden cheered for the winner of this game, and many people were immersed in the suffocating attack and defense of the team battle between the two sides.
When Gu Xing walked to the backstage, he heard the cheers from the supporters, and he was full of excitement and wanted them to be more enthusiastic.
The wave of celebrations also poured into the LCK commentary box.
The Roaring Emperor turned around. He was still some distance away from the main stage, and could only see the backs of players wearing Rock Tiger uniforms.
Even so, a bit of loneliness can still be read from the back.
"I can only say..." Roaring Emperor calmed down after thinking for a moment, "I hope ROX can adjust in time. They are now forced into a desperate situation with no way out!"
Veteran commentator Jin Dongjun also echoed, "We should also have confidence in ROX, which is the No. 1 seed in our division!"
That's what he said.
But Jin Dongjun, who is well-informed, has little confidence.
CloudTemplar next to him also pursed his lips.
The Korean division is very dominant, but the No. 1 seed has always been somewhat unlucky.
The S2 rules are still outrageous. There are a total of five seeded teams, four of them will advance directly to the quarterfinals, and the remaining one will advance to the group stage. It is a purely unfair competition system.
South Korean seed Azubu Frost had a 20% chance of being selected to play in the group stage. Although it went smoothly, they eventually lost to Assassin Star in the finals.
CloudTemplar is a member of the team. He retired after finishing second and became a commentator. The mid laner Fast Star is a coach at EDG.
The S3OGN seed seat was Najin Black Sword, and the top four were overthrown by the ascendant SKT in a civil war.
The No. 1 seed in S4 was the famous Samsung Blue. They were still in the semi-finals, but they were swept by their fellow teammate Samsung White in an almost humiliating way. The three rounds lasted only 1 hour and 23 minutes!
South Korea has participated in a total of four world championships and won three of them. Among the number one seeds, only SKT in 2015 reached the top of the world as the king.
It can be said that life has a lot of bad luck, basically all of them are unlucky.
Jin Dongjun, who had witnessed the fate of the No. 1 seed pulling his crotch throughout the whole process, could only use these words to comfort the audience. He himself was worried.
CloudTemplar was afraid that if he continued talking, he would touch on his old memories of mentioning South Korea's first League of Legends world runner-up, so he quickly changed the subject.
"The forced rush system the Tigers adopted in the last game is their best lineup this year. However, they were still held back by backhand defense when facing VG. In the end, Virtue and Imp won the team battle," he believes that the situation is not optimistic. , “If conventional ideas don’t work, ROX must find other ways to win if they want to make a comeback!”
The three Korean commentators kept talking to each other and making suggestions for ROX.
The MVP candidate of the third game was shown on the big screen. The venue was bustling with people and the momentum was stronger than before!
The Roaring Emperor was distracted and hissed lightly when he saw the data.
"Really or not..." he murmured.
Little Peanut, who had just returned to the team lounge, also saw the MVP selection results.
Gu Xing in the final makeup photo and the sheep and wolf spirits clinging to each other behind him look very matched.
Battle damage ratio 9/2/11
Team output accounts for 35.5%
Counterpoint economy leading +3235
Damage conversion rate 123.7%
The four statistics are extremely luxurious in the jungle position.
Little Peanut lowered his head.
In fact, since the first head-to-head battle between the two sides broke out, in the eyes of professional players, the balance of victory and defeat in this game has been imbalanced.
After gathering the strength of the whole team, they failed to kill Gu Xing. Instead, they were destroyed by the harvest group, and even the big dragon was given to the opponent!
After getting a large amount of economy, Kindred can quickly complete the attack speed equipment and start making magic resistance defense equipment such as the Demon-Drinking Knife in advance.
The ones that ROX could threaten Gu Xing at that time were Kennen, Ryze who stacked double E to spread in Sheep Breath, and Zyra who threw skills and plants from a long distance.
Jhin was harassed by Zhu Xiaolong's Ike from a distance and couldn't hit Gu Xing at all.
Peanut's blind monk's output from the back is also very weak.
It can be said that when Gu Xing starts to make magic resistance equipment, the fatal threat that ROX can pose to VG's back row will gradually decrease!
Until the last wave of team battles, it was difficult for them to even touch Kindred, let alone kill him.
The spectators supporting the Tigers were still waving their flags and cheering as they watched the home team launch waves of manic attacks.
But ROX players know that the winning rate is getting lower and lower as time goes by.
The proud rushing system was shattered and VG got match point. Naturally, the members of the Tigers were frustrated.
Coach Nofe was also flustered, but he knew that if he showed his decadent side, ROX would completely explode!
He is still trying to encourage the players, "This round is because of my BP problem. Everyone is already trying hard..."
It's just that the words are a little weak.
Nofe's lineup selection is particularly good, but that's not necessarily true.
But it definitely doesn’t count as pulling the crotch.
With the dual advantages of occupying the ban position and first pick on the blue side, it is true that the system was forced to open and was tricked by Redmi in the end, but overall, I got the lineup I wanted.
"I was led by Virtue at the beginning of the transfer period. It was really hurt..." Little Peanut blamed herself and regretted it.
He followed Gu Xing and ran back and forth for a minute, but in the end he caught nothing, not even the wild monsters!
On the contrary, VG performed a four-pack and two-for-two, which restored the duo's disadvantage.
If the two elders Xuan Ming can maintain their strong suppression, the final result of the Dalong team battle is likely to be different!
Peanut's words reminded the Tigers members in the dugout of that nightmarish black minute.
The atmosphere became more solemn.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone," Smeb saw this and quickly tried to boost morale. "This BO5 is not over yet, we still have a chance!"
They said similar things after losing the first game.
The players all have antibodies and can’t cause many ripples.
The signature system has been cracked by VG.
The female gun cannot be released.
What other tricks are left?
Gloria thought of the past, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she came up with a brilliant idea.
"Wang Hao, this is how you will end up..." He revealed his plan.
Little Peanut looked doubtful, "Can it be done?"
"Isn't that what we Xia Jie do?" Gloria explained, "Besides, do you have a better solution now?"
Peanut shook his head.
The Tigers ran out of cards and were on the red side for the next set.
No matter how you think about it, it's a certain death situation.
Although Grella's method is completely different from ROX's usual style, it is indeed the only way to deal with it.
"It should be quite feasible," Pray said, regardless of whether it worked or not, he first gave his teammates a psychological advantage, "Don't forget we succeeded once!"
Thinking of the glorious moments of the LCK Summer Finals, the ROX players suddenly became confident.
Little Peanut's thoughts were agitated, and he couldn't help but smile maliciously.
……
"Little Peanut's blind monk comes directly to the third level. He chases after him and forces out the Marquis's double summons...ROX's midfielder and jungler both dodge forward to chase, and they have to kill by force even after entering the tower?!"
The baby on the commentary table did not expect that Peanut Speed 3 would go straight to the middle. Seeing that the opponent's midfielder was ruthless and used summoner skills as if they were free, just to catch Li Zhixun to death, everyone was dumbfounded.
Easyhoon didn't expect it either.
In the first three games, Little Peanut took the initiative to come to the middle to catch very few times.
More often than not, the two sides in the middle are developing peacefully, silently using their hero advantage to seize lane rights, and there is no smell of gunpowder at all.
This is also in line with the basic concept of Peanut mainly focusing on the top lane and secondarily protecting the bottom lane.
He basically doesn't care about the middle.
As a result, Peanut was aiming straight for the midline in this round, determined to help Kuro establish an advantage!
Li Zhixun wanted to be more stable.
But reality doesn't allow it.
"Peanut is here again!" As Miller shouted urgently, the Blind Monk kicked the minion. Echo hit behind Li Zhixun while moving, and kicked him toward Kuro with a tail kick from the Raptor!
The simple and unpretentious Insec version of the roundhouse kick, which was amazing at the time, has now become a bad street kick that everyone can do if they have the skills.
But it’s easy to use.
After Li Zhixun was killed in battle, he watched the flash of recovery with 7 seconds left and remained silent.
Gu Xing still regarded the bottom lane as a breakthrough.
He also had a tacit understanding with the duo. When Peanut was hitting the target frequently, he used Olaf to catch both Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming to death once each.
He even pushed down the first blood tower in advance.
However, Little Peanut didn't want to make up for the loss in the bottom lane at all.
He just stared at the middle and grabbed hard!
"You're still here?" The doll couldn't help but accuse, "Little Peanut, what are you doing...Smeb is coming too?"
Little Peanut knew that Li Zhixun had a dodge this time, so he didn't use the roundhouse kick. He simply flashed RQQ, and together with Kuro's Victor, he fired a burst of damage first.
Smeb's Rambo rushed into the tower and used barbecue flames to make up for the damage.
Thirteen minutes into the game, Easyhoon, known as the defensive tower in the middle, suffered his third death!
After being killed twice, Gu Xing could no longer help. The midfielder 2v2 was destined to be no match for him.
He could only try his best to relieve the pressure.
It's a pity that ROX is unreasonable in the middle and jungle, and forcefully kills with output!
"But the Tigers are in a difficult position. Smeb doesn't have much HP left after resisting two tower hits. Xiao Gu comes from behind and wants to kill him!"
The doll thought that Smeb would definitely die.
As a result, Little Peanut helped to fight against the tower, but after being reduced to residual health, he saw a bombardment from the defense tower trying to take him away.
Pray suddenly appeared in the middle and treated everyone with a flash!
As a result, Little Peanut was not killed. Pray blocked another shelling and helped his teammates escape successfully!
"Oh my god... ROX's turn against towers in this emergency situation is simply perfect!" Wawa also had to praise the Tigers' handling.
Under the camera, Li Zhixun is holding his forehead, and there is a crack in the usual facial expression of Gujing.
His brain became chaotic again and it was difficult to concentrate.
Pouring two mouthfuls of ice water into your mouth will have minimal effect after repeated stimulation.
"The economic gap between the two sides is almost zero. This wave of team battles should be evenly matched..." As soon as the baby finished speaking, Little Peanut entered the field and sold half a tube of blood to start the team battle.
VG's ability to pull and catch flaws is still strong.
But after a long time of dealing damage, ROX still had a bunch of residual health left, but he was still alive!
"The damage is not enough!" Miller lamented.
The consequences of Li Zhixun being caught repeatedly by Peanut were clearly revealed.
The team lacks damage.
Gu Xing chose Olaf, and top laner Long Ge still played Ekko to resist pressure.
The team's team battles mainly rely on double C and small-level Zyra.
After the mid laner Hou Ye died three times, in this S6 World Championship version that is recognized to have excessive damage, he is faced with the dilemma of insufficient output!
Zyra does high damage, but after all, it is a support, and it cannot keep up without economic equipment.
Lacking the damage from Marquis, ROX relied on Grella's bird shield to survive the key team battle!
If faced with a novice team, VG will continue to drag down, waiting for the opponent to make a comeback.
But as the world's top team, the Tigers rarely make mistakes after gaining an advantage in the mid-term.
After harvesting the dragon, he advanced all the way, cut through the mess quickly, and rushed to take action before Li Zhixun's equipment was formed, selling his blood to force a team fight.
After playing three for five, although the remaining two Pray and Smeb had residual health, no one could threaten them, which was enough to level the base!
LCK commentator Roaring Emperor beamed with joy, "Two versus two! ROX's soldiers made surprising moves in this game and made continuous grabs. They seemed to have found a breakthrough for VG and dragged the game into the decisive game!"
"Yes, ROX has the right to choose sides in the last round," Jin Dongjun also became more energetic, "We have the initiative!"
CloudTemplar was very excited, "The Tigers' change of tactics is very interesting. They targeted Easyhoon, who everyone thought was least likely to cause problems, and actually achieved good results!"
Kuro was very happy, "Wang Hao, I just said that there is no problem in matching the two of us!"
The little peanut was so happy that she went to find her assistant, "Brother Fan Xian, your trick really works!"
Gloria smiled proudly, "Isn't that how Brother Dongbin was killed? Let's recreate it!"
Gao Dongbin is KT jungler Score.
It is also ROX’s opponent in the summer finals.
This summer's playoffs can be said to be Score's strongest state. In the semifinals, Xiao Heiji was confused and led the team to beat SKT from two to three!
However, at the last moment of the final against ROX, when Score was about to get the Baron to kill the game, Smeb's captain's ultimate move snatched Baron Nash away with 2 drops of blood!
The ROX players were not in Longkeng at all at that time.
Score can throw away dragons with punishment in his hand. One is because he is flustered and too nervous, and the other is lack of concentration.
Because he is older.
Born in 1992, he played two strong teams, SKT and ROX, in a short period of time. He played both BO5s, and Score was completely delirious at the end.
The members of the Tigers did not pay attention to the status of the opponent's jungler during the summer finals.
When I went back to review the game, I realized that Score had reached the critical moment of the fifth game and was completely unable to withstand the high-intensity game!
Gloria only remembered this when she was forced into a desperate situation.
The most important point is that Easyhoon was also born in 1992, a 24-year-old player, exactly the same as Score!
His advice to Little Peanut is to catch it with all your might.
If Li Zhixun can't concentrate until the end, the winner will be ROX!
Although if you think about it carefully, morally it means bullying the elderly in e-sports, and the strategy is quite shameless.
But this move does not violate fair competition.
Newcomers pay tuition, and seniors are manipulated by show-offs. Similar things are common in the industry.
"Let's do it again in the next round," Little Peanut tasted the sweetness, and walked forward with high spirits when he came off the stage. "We are destined to go to Los Angeles!"
His self-confidence grew infinitely.
After reaching the fifth game, Easyhoon definitely couldn't hold on!
In the VG backstage lounge.
Li Zhixun was lying on the gaming chair with a small ice pack covering his forehead. He looked very weak after taking off his glasses.
It turns out that there was a problem when playing against Faker in the group stage. I thought I could survive it, but I didn't expect that ROX would survive it in the semifinals and force it to the fifth game.
Mainly because the intensity of the series is too high.
In ordinary qualifying matches or training matches, he wouldn't be like this if he played ten games in a row.
However, when facing ROX, Lee Ji-hoon must remain focused at all times. If he is not careful, he will be caught consecutively in the fourth game and become a breakthrough.
He was feeling tired all over and felt dizzy and wanted to sleep, but other than that, he didn't have any other problems.
But for professional players, the impact is really not small.
"Can you still hold on?" Gu Xing sat next to him and asked with concern.
"...One round is no problem." Li Zhixun replied softly.
It's useless for him to say there's a problem now. The team doesn't have a substitute mid laner, so they can't let JackeyLove come over and play in the middle.
Gu Xing nodded seriously, "Then if we go to the finals, it would be best to end the first four rounds."
He was serious when he said this.
Li Zhixun felt that his jungler was starting to lose his mind and talk nonsense.
The semi-finals haven't ended yet, why don't we study the opponents in the finals in advance?
"Gu Gu, are you so confident?" Gu Shengbin was quite surprised when he heard Gu Xing's words when he came back from smoking outside.
"Of course," Gu Xing glanced at Li Zhixun, "I said I can make it to the finals, so I will definitely make it."
Easyhoon blinked, his eyes flickering but he just stared down at his fingers and did not respond to him.
Gu Shengbin didn't want to stay in the training room. When he won the game, everything around him looked so beautiful.
When I fail, I feel like this house is not good.
The air conditioner temperature is too high and the space is too narrow... Anyway, it feels unpleasant to the eyes.
"We're not in a hurry, right?" He found the cigarette case, "I'll go out and smoke another one."
Imp's true colors as a smoker are completely revealed.
He has to go out of the training room to smoke two cigarettes between queues in ranked games, not to mention the pressure now.
Gu Xing had seen Ju Shengbin smoking, which was exactly the same as the posture in Yu Qian's cross talk. He smoked violently and very fast.
Hongmi was still making up lessons with Allen Chu alone.
Boss Ding Jun was briefly talking to the team members one by one.
"Xiao Gu..." He rubbed the area near Gu Xing's shoulder blades, "Just try your best in everything, what do you think?"
"Anyway, I am quite satisfied with this year's results. We can continue to strive next year."
Gu Xing turned to look at him, his tone was very calm, "Old Ding, I said I can win."
Ding Jun was amused by the team member's tone, "...Sure, then I'll cheer for you down below."
Gu Xing really thought so.
By the end of the third game, he was sure he could go to Los Angeles.
In his opinion, VG is the version answer.
A solid top laner and mid laner, a fierce jungler and duo, the two tactical systems around the bottom lane and jungle area are just in line with the version, and the team battles have evolved to the point of proficiency.
All team members know how to version strong characters, and the hero pool is not a big problem.
Why can't we win?
What kind of tactics are there to survive the old man? Under the patch sanctions, he is like a younger brother among younger brothers!
Vincent escorted Ju Shengbin, who had finished smoking, back to the lounge, and brought a notice, "Get ready to go on stage, the time is almost up."
Gu Xing got up and walked out.
"Brother, okay!" World6 handed him a glass of ice water, "I can't mix anything at my level. I can only sit in the audience and shout to encourage myself. I can't guarantee anything else. Our tone must be high enough..." < br>
His strange voice change period makes his voice become shriller. People who are not familiar with him will probably think he is a girl.
"Lao Gu, tell the truth," Jack also interjected from the side, "Although I don't know why you are so confident...but somehow, I feel like I can make it to the finals."
Gu Xing laughed.
Li Zhixun took off the ice pack and went to the bathroom to wash his face in a hurry. When he came back, he felt much more awake.
"Chew a piece to refresh yourself..." Lu Wenjun handed over a strip of strong mint-flavored chewing gum.
Easyhoon unwrapped the package and stuffed it into his mouth, then walked towards the stage.
Gu Xing swung the ice water in the paper cup and followed him back into the venue.
The light from the Madison Garden dome enveloped him again, and a warmth arose in his body.
……
"Coming to the fifth game, let's see if VG can solve the problems exposed in the previous game." Wawa didn't feel optimistic, but he still expressed his support for VG. "Xiao Gu was in hot form in the first four games today. , as long as the touch continues, the possibility of winning the game is very high!”
Miller began to talk about the rules, "It is said that the red side's BP is inferior in this version, but in the first four rounds of the semi-finals, the red side won. In this round, VG came to the red side, hoping to continue the red side's undefeated record!"
He also knew that this rule was not very meaningful.
The first two games were because both sides placed the troll jungler and female gun support cards on the red side.
In the third game, Redmi designed BP to get the backhand lineup.
By the fourth game, it had nothing to do with the red side. It was purely the Tigers who found Li Zhixun's breakthrough point. They could still hit it if they switched to the blue side!
"VG can go from being unfavorable at the beginning of the summer split to stepping on the stage of the semi-finals of the global finals step by step. I think this journey is legendary enough," Wawa gave the audience an inoculation in advance, "As the only seedling of the LPL , being able to push the LCK No. 1 seed to the edge of the cliff is a major breakthrough for our division this year!”
The pilot screen was shown to the stands.
After four rounds, including intermissions and BP sessions, this semifinal took more than four hours.
The audience was as energetic as ever, clapping their light sticks in their seats.
There was also a live audience taking the lead in playing human waves.
The crowds in the stands rose and fell in an extremely orderly manner, and the sea of red and blue was surging!
They can feel the charm of the game between the two top teams in transition between offense and defense.
Now in the last round, the loser has to go back to his country to fish, while the winner continues on the journey.
The reality is extremely cruel, but it arouses the audience's enthusiasm for watching the game!
The director of Riot Games played "SilverScrapes" at the right time, and the exciting melody was conveyed to everyone's ears through the live sound system, causing endless noise and shouting in the stands!
The camera cuts to the players' bench.
The screen is split into two, with each group of opposing players getting a close-up on the big screen.
Gu Xing put his forearms on the table, held the warm baby with both hands and shook it vigorously, his mood still calm.
The little peanut on the other side is much more excited.
He is now a typical state-based player. As long as he plays comfortably and happily, the upper limit of his competitive state will be infinitely raised!
Peanut looked at the VG player seats across the stage.
Gu Xing was still shaking the baby to warm it up when he noticed an eye-catching granny ash sticking out from the five monitors on the ROX side.
He can tell it's a peanut by the color of his hair.
The two of them looked at each other in the distance and smiled proudly and confidently at each other.
Li Zhixun chewed gum, closed his eyes and leaned on the chair to rest for a while.
It wasn't until he heard the referee's announcement that BP was about to begin that he adjusted to a forward-leaning sitting position.
The crisp sound of entering the BP stage came, and the doll took a deep breath.
"Success or failure depends on one move, and both sides will win or lose in one round..."
"I hope VG can leave no regrets. There are tens of millions of viewers in the LPL competition area, and they are your strongest backing!"
His voice was sonorous and powerful.
"ROX is on the blue side, so we should disable Syndra first!"
The two sides reached the fifth game, and the first few games were all settled.
The coaches on both sides are not stubborn and will not look back.
You can't study the opponent's trump card information in a short period of time. Since the enemy uses it to good effect, you should still respect it.
This is a crucial match for the future, and no one wants to ruin the game just because they bet on BP.
Syndra, Leopard Girl, Troll, and Female Spear were sent to the squad in turn.
"The Tigers' third team has made some slight adjustments. Instead of blocking Bobby as usual, the forbidden position is given to Kalma!"
Hongmi smiled helplessly.
Nofe finally figured it out.
He banned Karma, who was able to sway as a mid-support player. One of the reasons was to prevent Li Zhixun from getting it, so that Easyhoon, whose status dropped off a cliff in the fourth game, would use a tool hero that was not difficult to mess with.
The second is to pave the way for ROX to grab Zyra first.
Putting aside the female gunner, Karma is now recognized as the only auxiliary character who can compete with Zyra.
Although it is still a matchup disadvantage, it can be stabilized at least.
Although the remaining Nami is ahead in milk volume, the early lane right in the bottom lane is really uncomfortable!
It is difficult for this hero to help the ADC handle the lane, and he is destined to be in jail under the tower, and he will not be able to recover until the laning period is over.
Nofe's move disgusted all the middle and lower parts of VG, which is much easier to use than disabling Poppy.
What's more, VG made it clear that the mid laner is in poor condition, and teammates must choose a role to compensate for the damage.
He believes that Zhu Xiaolong will not take Poppy, otherwise he will fall into the dilemma of insufficient damage faced by VG in the last game!
"Let's ban the Dragon King," Hongmi thought for a long time, but decided to keep the original ban position unchanged, "slow down and ban the hero, let Zhixun take more rest..."
Within the limits allowed by the rules, he tried every means to buy time for Li Zhixun.
Easyhoon's state will definitely improve after a period of rest. Redmi can delay it for a second.
It was not until the last moment that the figure of the Star Casting Dragon King appeared in the forbidden position.
As expected, Nofe locked Zierra instantly.
"Take Jhin and Blind Sin," Hongmi patted Gu Xing's shoulder with his broad palm, "Try to lead the rhythm in the early stage."
Gu Xing had no objection.
Playing wild core Kindred has a relatively high demand for lane rights.
In particular, the central route right is a top priority.
Li Zhixun's current state is unstable, and Gu Xing's development may not be guaranteed if he takes out the wild core.
In contrast, Blind Sin is a jack-of-all-trades and can be used in most lineups without any problem.
At the same time, it can also use grabs instead of bans to limit the blind monk who has hot hands in the game.
Li Qing's ganking efficiency is still too high, especially when facing non-displacement heroes. He is the type who can scare the opponent with his ultimate move.
If Peanut gets it and continues to target the middle, something may happen.
"Smeb got Jace, and Kuro also got Victor, who is extremely proficient!" Miller locked his eyes on the VG hero selection box, "They are all strong characters in the version, and I don't know how VG will respond... …”
Hongmi is still stalling for time.
He took the time to chat with the team members and relieve the possible stress symptoms of the five people.
"It's your first time playing five games, right?" Hongmi smiled and looked at the three relatively inexperienced players Uno Suke.
Duan Deliang was very panicked and tried to relieve the pressure by shaking his legs.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it as soon as you hit it," Hongmi's mood now showed is quite mild, "You will definitely face many challenges in your future career, Xiaoduan, so start adapting from today."
"After this World Championship, you will be the top support in the LPL in terms of performance...relax your mind," he also laughed at himself, "Look at me, I was not hit by someone else before, but now I am still very active. ”
After Jin Wenhe finished translating, Hongmi asked the team members to lock down the hero.
Rambo and Nami!
"Brother Long's Rambo?" Wawa was very surprised. "He chose tanks in the first four games today. Will he change his style in the end?"
Miller frowned and explained, "Rambo is also Brother Long's signature, but facing Smeb's Jace... I can only say that the challenge is a bit big."
Smeb thought that the opponent would play Kennen and accompanied the blind monk to enter the field.
Rambo's appearance surprised him a little.
However, the surprise was fleeting, and Smeb quickly adjusted.
He himself is a user of Rambo's unique skills and knows how to deal with it.
"Just watch how I tear the opponent apart..." Smeb pinched his knuckles.
"The opponent needs three cores," Nofe and the team members emphasized loudly. "Wang Hao, you can only capture one lane with Olaf at most. This is what VG wants. If one lane is knocked out, they still have two core output points. Can stand up and take over the team battle!”
Hongmi's approach was to avoid the problem of insufficient damage when Li Zhixun was pinned and died in the fourth game.
"Wang Hao, do you think you still want to take Olaf?" Nofe handed over the hero selection in the last round of the semi-finals to Xiaohuahua.
Peanut thought about the opponent's lineup, "How about Spider?"
Elise is his well-deserved signature hero.
In this year's LCK Summer Split, Little Peanut won 11 Spider games and won 10 of them.
Spider's strength is now second only to the three top junglers of Leopard Girl, Blind Monk and Olaf, ranking at the forefront of the second tier of jungle in the world competition.
Whether it’s proficiency, record, or suitability for the lineup.
Spiders are the best choice for Little Peanut!
Nofe readily agreed.
If Peanut gets the spider, his gank efficiency will be higher, and his rhythm ability will be much better than Olaf's.
He also hopes that the players can get the roles they are best at in this possible final battle.
Get another ice for Pray, and the ROX lineup is officially completed.
Hongmi saw this and went to find Li Zhixun, "Do you think Snake Girl is okay?"
Cassiopeia is the strongest late-stage spell core in the current version, and the True Six Gods’ equipment puts her ahead of the rest of the mages.
Also a masterful role for Lee Ji-hoon.
Easyhoon breathed out, "Choose."
Hongmi told Xiao Duan to wait for the last second before making sure.
"I just thought we could chat like this in the semi-finals next year," he joked. "Everyone, please work hard for yourself. It's not easy to get to where we are today..."
Hongmi pinched the back of Gu Xing's neck and said, "I'm waiting for the results backstage."
"Whether you win or not, you have won today."
Gu Xing looked at Li Zhixun with a serious tone, "I said when I was in San Francisco... I would definitely make it to the finals and play SKT. Do you still believe it now?"
Easyhoon turned his head and met Gu Xing's gaze.
He smiled slowly.
"Believe it."
With the Snake Girl finally locked up, the lineups of both sides were officially determined.
Blue square ROX: top laner Jayce, jungler Spider, mid laner Victor, bottom lane Ice + Zyra.
Red side VG: top laner Rambo, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Snake, bottom lane Jhin + Nami.
The director's camera moves to the center of the stage.
Redmi and Nofe shook hands for the last time before the semi-final and left in opposite directions.
Only the Summoner's Trophy was still shining silver on the high platform. The dome lights are interlaced, and amidst the overwhelming momentum created by the audience, Summoner's Rift descends on Madison Garden!
