Chapter 537 537: No regrets?
"Two to zero!"
Miller shouted loudly on the commentary desk, "VG won another victory and got the match point first!"
"With three match points in hand, VG is one step closer to the Bird's Nest, and now it's just one more goal away!" Watana's voice was loud and exciting.
In fact, there was no need for him to boost morale. The Oriental Sports Center was already in a state of excitement!
Cheers and screams soared into the sky, cheering sticks slapped the air, heating up the atmosphere.
VG supporters selflessly cheered for the home team in the stands!
The live broadcast room was filled with cheering comments!
[I’m sorry, VG is indeed the pride of LPL! At the critical moment, pigs and dogs are really not good, so we still have to look at the good brother]
【Good to kill! Just focus on SKT's breakthrough and hit hard. How can you compete with VG with such strength in the jungle? 】
[Huni is really a great benefactor to our LPL. If he hadn’t given so much, this game would have been hard to say]
[Tonight’s celebration banquet, no one is allowed to use chopsticks unless Huni is present! 】
[Huni: Brother Junzhi, is Pig Girl meaty? I raised it! (Proud face)]
In the SKT player box, Bang took off his headphones and glanced sideways at Huni, who was sitting on the edge.
Emotions are complex and difficult to discern.
Huni noticed his teammates' gazes from the corner of his eye and didn't dare to move.
After Pei Junzhi left the table, he slowly took a sip of his drink and followed his teammates backstage.
The little black boy in front of him was submissive, holding his shoulders and not daring to raise his head to see the reaction of the audience in the stands. He moved all the way to the floor.
But he could stop looking, but he couldn't block his ears.
Unlike the other four teammates, Xiao Hei, who has fought hard in the LSPL, knows a little bit of Chinese.
Since the backstage passage is not far from the auditorium, Blank can hear the audience laughing and making fun of him.
"Look at how hot SKT is in the jungle. I think they are the most incompatible in the whole game. It's like Gold went to the King's Game to play ranked..."
If it were placed on some arrogant players, they would definitely slap the audience in the face with their performance on the field.
But Xiao Hei's off-field style is a bit timid, or he has low self-esteem.
In terms of resume, the only honor he can win is the MSI championship in 2016. The stupid chicken didn't come to the scene at that game, and it was Xiaohei who played the whole game. However, even if he won the championship, he still contributed to the group stage and was cursed for four consecutive times by eating Haidilao. The underworld scene of defeat.
Nothing else!
Even though SKT was the runner-up in last year's World Championship, Xiao Hei didn't dare to take it as his own honor without conscience.
Starting from the semi-finals, Blank has not won a single game in the games he has been sent to!
I barely managed to get the runner-up spot because of my stupid dick wiping my ass!
Not to mention the public opinion environment, as long as it is a popular team, the player with fewer fans will always take the blame for losing the game.
There is no doubt that Blank is the pure scapegoat for SKT!
In some games, Queshi had problems with him, but some unwarranted accusations were also forced on his head. In an interview, he once said with a sad face, "SKT fans want him to leave the team."
Over time, Xiao Hei was also subtly affected. When he was around several All-Star teammates, he always felt like he was holding the team back. He lost all confidence when he lost a game.
Blank walked into the passage, the cheers and noise around him stopped, and the dazzling lights disappeared, leaving only the incandescent lights on the ceiling reflecting above his head, bringing some warmth.
After blocking out the influence of the outside world, Xiao Hei's steps became firmer and he dared to raise his head and look straight ahead.
Then, he saw five members of VG head-on.
It is worth mentioning that although the two teams did not use the same exit route, the rest rooms were in the same backstage corridor.
As a result, they inevitably faced each other.
Even though they were several meters apart, Blank could feel the joy and encouragement in each other's words. In the excitement, the last words of the group of people would unconsciously rise.
"Lao Gu, you are such an amazing pig," Jack put his arm around Gu Xing's shoulders affectionately, "You are so fleshy!"
He recalled the whole process of the big dragon team battle, and couldn't help but praise Gu Xing from the bottom of his heart.
Lee Sang Hyuk and Galio's W flash was hard to guard against, and he was mocked and held in place before he could react!
If SKT can make up for the output in time, there will be no suspense in killing this crispy big mouth.
But Gu Xing stood at the front of the formation like a wall, shielding his teammates in the back row from the wind and rain. Except for Bang's mouse R which caused a little damage, all other skills were blocked by him!
After Yu Wenbo saved his life, he continued to output without pressure. Sejuani's majestic body after turning on the Gargoyle Stone Armor quickly eliminated the panic in his heart, making him feel safe!
"If you really want to praise, you can't favor one over the other. You have to go to Rui Xing and tell him," Gu Xing said with a smile, "His stone scattering formation is also very important, otherwise Nal would really jump in and drive R out. ”
As soon as these words came out, all the members of the VG team recalled the funny scene where Big Gnar jumped forward and stepped on the finger pressure plate and died instantly, and they couldn't help laughing.
The corridor was instantly filled with cheerful air.
Huni, who was about to follow Xiao Hei into the SKT lounge, sneezed.
"What's going on..." He rubbed the tip of his nose, "Shan Jiu, what are they laughing at?"
Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, pretending not to hear.
He couldn't say he was just playing Gnar to make people laugh, right?
Blank was very dissatisfied when he thought of Gnar's strange death.
Brother Chengxun, do you dare to jump like this?
Huni saw the jungler pretending to be dead. He turned his head a little and guessed that everyone in VG was laughing because of him.
Thinking of how embarrassed he was in the previous game, Huni suddenly became furious.
VG, just wait for me!
It depends on whether I fuck you in the next game or not!
On the other side of the corridor, VG players entered their team's lounge one after another to enjoy the cheers and celebrations from other members of the training department.
"Great job!" Jin Wenhe rubbed the heads of the team members one by one, his words full of excitement, "I knew you could do it!"
Ding Jun's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile, and he looked like he could be Huawei's mascot.
"Okay, okay," he rubbed his hands in excitement, "Brothers, work harder, we're just a short round away!"
As long as they can win this BO5 game and break into the Bird's Nest, VG will be able to make a lot of money in terms of popularity!
After all, this is the only one in the LPL division, and millions of domestic viewers can only pin their hopes on them!
Also coming to watch the game was Jin Yibo.
He and VG are currently in a state of both prosperity and loss. Whether he can achieve enough performance to earn a large amount of Tencent shares depends on this World Championship!
He smiled at Gu Xing and said, "You are awesome, I will give you a thumbs up!"
Jin Yibo's voice was high-pitched and thin, and when he said these words, Gu Xing got goosebumps all over his body.
Hongmi went to encourage his mid laner, "Rui Xing, you played very well in these two rounds, much better than I expected."
What he was most worried about before the game was Kuro.
If the middle is torn into a breach by the opponent, the consequences will be disastrous!
Li Ruixing puffed up his chest and looked proud when he heard this.
"Let me tell you, Lao Li has indeed made great achievements today. I feel that you are not that afraid of Faker!" Jack smiled and praised.
Kuro's face fell instantly, "Don't mention it, I was really scared at the time."
When I saw Lee Sang Hyuk's ID, my hands couldn't help but tremble.
The reason why symptoms have eased now is quite simple.
There is Gu Xing.
Daddy is here, what can Lee Sang Hyuk do to me!
Mentioning Lee Sang Hyuk, Song Jinghao also had a look of unruly expression on his face, "Faker? Let's chop him down with one knife!"
Unlike Kuro, every time Song Jinghao faced SKT, he felt more unwillingness than fear.
He never covers his player ID during the game, and he gets even more excited when he sees Faker.
In the dragon team battle, Smeb held the soul blade in his hand and killed Li Sang Hyuk with one blow. He still has endless memories of that feeling of relief when he thinks about it!
"Don't be too complacent," Gu Xing saw that he was a little carried away and quickly reminded him, "We haven't won yet!"
"Don't let up and give yourself a chance in the next game, try to send the opponent away in one wave!"
He thinks SKT is not as strong as last year, but he still says the same thing.
If this string of team names is placed in front of any professional League of Legends player, they will be ready and will not hesitate at all!
Gu Xing didn't want to have long nights and many dreams.
"Don't worry," Song Jinghao no longer had the same lazy posture as before when he had the advantage. At this moment, he was full of fighting spirit and said decisively, "I will never give SKT any chance to counterattack!"
On the other side of the corridor, the atmosphere in the SKT lounge was solemn, in sharp contrast to the atmosphere of the VG team.
Pei Junzhi was obviously anxious, and in desperation he started to spread his hands.
"I don't understand why I can be caught like that in the laning phase!" He spoke quickly, "I developed well in the bottom lane, but once the laning phase ended, I couldn't beat that pig girl at all! ”
The TV screen showed the MVP selection results of the previous game very appropriately.
Gu Xing's smile in the final makeup photo is bright and sunny.
Team injuries accounted for 41.4%;
Battle damage ratio 3/1/13;
The group participation rate is 88.9%
The counterpoint economy leads by 3446!
It's no exaggeration to say that the tank hero plays like this!
Bang was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.
This version of armor-breaking equipment is expensive and difficult to use, and he must make the two powerful items of hurricane and infinity in the early and mid-term. Waiting for the armor-breaking equipment to take shape often takes about 30 minutes!
Facing the prematurely developed pig girl, he was completely helpless!
Huni also knew that he had harmed his teammates, so he hurriedly defended, "You can't blame me entirely. Every time the opponent comes to arrest a bunch of people first, what do you want me to do!"
"Chengxun, please stop playing the tightrope walker," Kkoma said without criticizing his top laner too much. Instead, he said in a friendly manner, "Choose a character who can be used even if caught in the early stage and in the mid-term."
Kim Jong-kyun felt angry and regretful in his heart, but he did not dare to scold Huni.
If the previous three top laners were top laners, he would have scolded them sternly.
Because Damu, Ma Datou and Lucky Bear are all relatively mature top laners, they can follow SKT's traditional split-pushing system, and their personalities are quite calm. If they do something wrong, if you scold him, he will know to correct it in time.
But Huni is different.
This guy is a bit childish, almost like a child, so it's best to brush him off.
Kkoma gave Huni a lesson after the BP ended in the last game. If he scolds Huni a few more times now, once he scolds Huni and breaks his defense, SKT will never win today!
Therefore, Kim Jong-gyun chose to propose a solution of taking one step back.
Let him play tank.
Collapse can at least provide some control and frankness, so that it will not be useless in team battles.
This is Kkoma's helpless move.
It is impossible for SKT to focus on the jungle.
Let’s not talk about whether Huni+Blank’s Ueno can survive three moves in front of Smeb+Virtue.
Even if they have enough strength, the two have not practiced much in the season-long running-in!
Changing the focus of tactics before battle is a taboo!
Kkoma can only make adjustments starting from the top lane hero.
Huni was very reluctant at first.
But he quickly recognized the situation.
There is no other choice.
Not changing the formation means repeating the gameplay of the previous game. As long as Gu Xing catches the opportunity to break through twice, VG Ueno will put huge pressure on SKT in the team battle!
As a last resort, Huni had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Kim Jong Kyun finally felt relieved after seeing this. Before he could speak, he heard Lee Sang Hyuk make a request again.
"I don't really want to use Galio anymore," Faker looked at the head coach, "Can you change it to another one?"
Kkoma understood what he meant.
Lee Sang-hyuk's Galio proficiency is absolutely perfect, and it's one of the best in the world.
But the effect of the last game was not good.
The reason is the sidelines.
As we all know, Galio's strongest function is to create a comfortable single-band split-pushing environment for his teammates on the wing.
SKT thought the same way when selecting the lineup for the second game. After Gnar's equipment level was improved, Shen, who faced Smeb on the sideline, could still have a slight advantage.
But Huni collapsed too quickly!
As a result, Lee Sang Hyuk is of no use at all!
Who can he support?
If Huni can have some advantage in the matchup, Lee Sang Hyuk can let him play five games in a row, let alone Galio in one game!
However, the fact is that Galio's role is greatly reduced when he has no advantage on the wing.
Although using W flash and ultimate moves can also protect the team's backline in team battles, Faker believes that if he only does these things, the team has no chance of winning.
He must take on more responsibilities to make up for Ueno's shortfall!
"Okay..." Kkoma agreed readily, and then called the team members to gather in a circle. "There is no need to say more about the situation we are facing now."
Everyone was silent.
Trailing 0-2, SKT was only one game short of the end of the season.
It can only be described as a desperate situation.
For SKT, if they fail in the semifinals, it will undoubtedly be a failed season.
In all the world-class competitions they participated in before, they were guaranteed to enter the finals!
"Every subsequent set may be the last dance of our lineup. I hope everyone can show their best side in the next game," Kkoma said in a gentle tone, "Don't have any more regrets..."
< br>
Blank nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Lee Sang Hyuk looks calm and relaxed on the outside, but in reality his nails are digging into his palms.
The strong desire to win in my heart has already been fully mobilized, igniting a raging flame and making my whole body feel hot.
Didn't the second team chase the third team in the S game?
Today he is going to make history!
The heart of Ryu Dao, who was chased by him for three rounds last time, was broken. Lee Sang Hyuk still wants to repeat the shocking BO5 four years ago and defeat his opponent's confidence!
At this time, a staff member came in to inform us that we were ready to go on stage.
"Let's go." Kkoma took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
SKT players filed out.
Bang suddenly turned around halfway through.
"Brother Zhengjun." He said seriously.
Kkoma looked puzzled.
"...When I was in Los Angeles last year, I owed you a Rolex." Pei Junzhi's chubby face was full of seriousness.
Jin Zhengjun twitched the corner of his mouth.
Bang said before that if he wins the S6 World Championship, he will pick a piece of work.
However, they were defeated at the Staples Center. When Bang was getting on a flight to leave this sad place, he wanted to buy a watch for the coach.
Kim Jong Kyun rejected the team members' good intentions at the time, saying that he would fulfill his promise after the S7 season champion returns.
The memory of this incident a year ago has long been washed away in the hard training day after day.
If Bang didn't mention this, Kkoma would have almost forgotten it.
"I must give away this Rolex this time." Pei Junzhi looked directly into his eyes.
Kkoma was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
He held his teammates' shoulders and walked through the backstage corridor, once again stepping into the spotlight and cameras.
In the LCK commentary box, Roaring Emperor was still reporting good news to the audience after seeing SKT members on the stage.
"It seems that SKT adjusted very well during the break. Now they must have the courage to face VG with their backs against the enemy!"
But the Korean viewers in the Mouse Channel didn’t quite buy it and even ridiculed her in the chat channel.
[Hahaha, how do you carry the water formation? Let two chase three? It’s very blue! 】
[I don’t even know how the top and jungle combination with Huni+Blank can beat VG. These two people are simply not the players that should appear in this level of competition...]
[Hee hee, this is a classic blame game among barbecue stall fans. It’s not 96line’s fault anyway. How much money does Blank get? How much do you three get? You can leave when you sign the contract. I think 96line was quite happy with it]
[Hurry up and swim back. Don’t embarrass yourself outside. I think they can go to Weihai or Yantai first. This way they can swim very close to Seoul and save a lot of energy]
[I never expected that SKT, the former king of foreign wars, would soon become the most embarrassing one... even Samsung could kill an LPL team! 】
CloudTemplar is full of expectations, "SKT will return to the blue side in this game. BP should be able to do a lot better. It depends on how coach Kkoma will respond!"
"SKT Huai Ting!" He clenched his fists to cheer for the team in his own division. "Be sure to show VG how powerful the LCK No. 1 seed is!"
A sonorous and powerful crisp sound came, and the BP panel quickly unfolded!
The stadium was packed with people, and the noise was soaring to the sky!
"SKT came up and banned Galio first... They were obviously not satisfied with the effect of Sang Hyuk's use of this hero in the last game," Roaring Emperor said. "To be honest, Galio limited Sang Hyuk's strength and couldn't use his Maximize strength.”
CloudTemplar nodded, "That's right. It's difficult for a hero like Galio to carry the game by himself. Most of the time, he still has to help his teammates build an advantage."
While talking, Hongmi also disabled Kalista.
Kkoma sent Luo to the ban position again, forcing the red rice to block Jayce.
In the last banned position of the first round, SKT gave Song Jinghao's Kennen.
Now that we have made up our mind to let Huni play as a tank hero, the electric rat must be sent to the ban position. Otherwise, starting from the middle of the game, the pressure on the side lines will be extremely huge.
"VG chose to block Feng Nu and disabled the strongest auxiliary in the version!"
Kkoma grabbed Lulu first when he came up.
This is the only version of the T1 incense burner soft auxiliary left except Feng Nu and Luo, so there is no problem in grabbing it.
"VG wants to exchange the prince and the cannon..." Roaring Emperor turned to ask his partner, "Speaking of Tristana, she can interact with the hard assistant, and there will be a chance to see Leona and the like in this game. A hero? ”
Team Rabbitohs' war zeal Sunshine Girl really sparked a frenzy of discussion some time ago. From players to commentators to players, everyone was full of praise for MSF's innovative black technology routines.
So it seems that it is not a shock to have a hard assistant appear in the S7 World Championship.
CloudTemplar thought for a moment and then shook his head, "I guess not. If you choose a hard support in the bottom lane, the team must formulate tactics around the bottom lane. But today VG made it clear that they want to tear open the wound from the top half. It's okay to choose a hard support. If you don’t use it, it will only increase the burden on your teammates.”
After all, the incense burner still has to be produced. If a hard support is selected, the team's midfielder will inevitably sacrifice combat effectiveness.
This is very inconsistent with VG's strategy in this BO5 game.
As he expected, after SKT took out the combination of rat + pig girl, VG directly took the gem with a backhand to act as the incense burner monster.
In the second round, the BP offense and defense of both sides mainly revolved around the unused mid-to-top line.
Hongmi banned Shen and Da Chongzi, the two top front-line tanks, and made it clear that they wanted to catch Huni and beat him up!
Kkoma banned Ryze and Yanjai, and the target of the attack was also directed at Kuro, the breakthrough point in the VG team.
Although Ryze is generally considered to have short hands and is not suitable for the high-intensity duels in the semifinals and beyond, Kkoma believes that Kuro may choose a hero who can support the jungle.
It's better to ban it to avoid future troubles!
"VG decided to get Gnar for Smeb first. This is a perfect hero with no problems..." Roaring Emperor looked at SKT's hero selection box and couldn't help but frowned, "Is top laner Dashu coming? ”
"Locked down!"
The scene burst into laughter.
It has been a week since we entered the knockout rounds, and everyone has clearly understood that in this version, the competition is about who has the stronger duel ability and the deeper the hero pool.
The meat tank has been eliminated!
In the end, I had to choose a somewhat aggressive character like Shen.
If you choose pure meat, you will be beaten!
Not to mention that most of the top lane heroes have been banned, there are still Qinggangying out there, if you have the ability, just choose Huni!
Now that SKT is targeting Big Tree, it is an act of weakness in the eyes of the audience.
The barrage in the LPL live broadcast room swept across like a surging wave.
[Huni is scared? How did you put the face on your posture back then? 】
[Don’t be embarrassed, S5 was beaten by Maibo right after he showed off his attitude. It’s reasonable that he can’t win now, right? ! 】
[Hehe, Yasuo can't beat Gnar, and Gnar can't beat Shen, so just choose the big tree to admit defeat in this round]
[With this team logo covered, I thought it was Guodian]
[Laugh at EDG, understand EDG, and become EDG! 】
Kkoma didn't know that the audience in the LPL division was mocking his team, so he slowly walked behind Faker.
"Xianghe... choose what you want to use."
Kim Jong-gyun gave Ri Sang-hyuk autonomy.
Faker glanced at the hero list for a long time, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and then he made his choice.
"Are you sure?" Wolf turned to look at him.
Lee Sang Hyuk responded while rubbing his knuckles.
Seeing this, Li Zaiwan didn't say much, and locked the hero instantly after searching for him.
Noisy sounds emerged one after another from the stands on all sides, forming a sizable wave in the venue!
"Sindra?!" The doll was quite surprised.
Miller's eyes lit up, "Faker plans to resolve this decisive game himself!"
The ball girl is still very popular in the group stage. This character is too ruthless in the face of Dharma core. She can often suppress the opponent's double-digit CS during the laning phase. The advantage in lane power is extremely obvious. There is no doubt that she has the upper hand in the mid-field battle.
However, after entering the knockout round, everyone recognized the fact - the current version environment of the mid laner has gradually become a tool player. The core and strong lane characters are not very popular. Instead, heroes with functions such as supporting roaming are more popular.
Because of this, Syndra has not appeared for a long time.
Today was selected by Faker, and the meaning expressed is obvious.
I just want to use the most powerful laning ability to directly destroy VG from the early stage!
Kuro sneered.
"Sindra? You..." His chest heaved violently, and his blood boiled all over, "You look down on people, don't you!"
Duan Deliang encouraged, "What do you say, Rui Xing, why don't I choose Snake Girl or Clockwork for you, and you two can have an online duel?"
Kuro vetoed righteously, "Old Duan, are you talking about Hammer? Am I the kind of person who ignores the overall situation just to satisfy my selfish desires?"
"Bring me the grasshopper!"
Li Ruixing shouted, "I want Li Sang Hyuk to know what the version is!"
All VG members were speechless.
It's crazy.
After shouting for a long time, I thought that some kind of hero would pop up to confront Lee Sang Hyuk, but in the end he still wanted to play tool man?
Hongmi was convinced.
"Just grasshopper, this hero is invincible!" He urged Duan Deliang to lock him down quickly.
The lineups of both sides are officially determined.
Blue side SKT: top laner Dashu, playing wild boar girl, mid laner Syndra, bottom lane Mouse + Lulu.
Red side VG: top laner Gnar, jungle prince, midlane grasshopper, bottom lane cannon + gems.
I remember analyzing the lineup on the commentary desk, "Both sides are pretty good at it. SKT has four APs and VG has 3.5 AD. The damage attributes are relatively single."
Miller agreed with his partner's point of view and added, "But if it is delayed until the late stage, the upper limit of VG's lineup will be very high."
"Gem's ultimate move alone can provide a perfect output environment for the entire VG team! Not to mention the presence of Gnar and Prince, plus the cannon's longest range in the league..."
"As long as this drags on, VG's lineup will only get stronger and stronger!"
He looked to the other side, "Looking at SKT, they highlighted a mid-term effort. They relied on Mouse's disguise to capture singles and Syndra's weak withdrawal lottery. They were almost invincible in the advantageous game, and their snowballing ability was hard to match!"
The coaches of the two teams came to the center of the stage and once again shook hands next to the Summoner's Trophy.
The camera slowly zoomed up, passing over the passionate VG fans in the stands, allowing the excellent sound effects to capture the lively cheers from the audience.
Immediately after entering the 3D perspective of Summoner's Rift, you can see the overview of the ten heroes at a glance!
"Both sides started with very conservative stances. They probably considered the importance of this matchup and didn't want to make any mistakes," Wawa stared at the canyon intently. "It's worth mentioning that SKT made a lot of defensive eye positions!"
"This should be to guard against Brother Xing," Miller guessed. "Prince level 2 ganks are quite fierce. None of the heroes on SKT's three lanes have the ability to move. If they are picked up by EQ's second team, they will die. They must Make eyes to get advance information ”
Gu Xing opened the jungle from the blue BUFF in the lower jungle area, and after reaching level 2, he went straight to the middle.
But before he could get out of the grass below, Faker retreated quickly.
Gu Xing understood clearly, marked an eye signal under his feet, and then thought of another strategy in his mind. You don’t think you can guard against me by making eyes, do you?
