A day and a half ago, no one would have thought Griffin was qualified to compete with G2 for group rankings.
The first reason is that Griffin's performance in the first round of the group stage was too poor. It was considered unworthy of Riot's official evaluation of an S-level team, and there was an insurmountable gap between G2 and G2.
Another reason is the special advantage of Little Phoenix FPX Sleepwalking. Griffin may not suffer a loss by qualifying as second in the group.
Just do the math and you'll know.
Based on the principle of avoiding the same group, Griffin and G2 will not be assigned to the same half zone and cannot meet before the finals.
Assume that FPX qualified as the first in Group B, and the probability of being assigned to the same half zone as G2 is one-third, and GRF qualified as the second in the group. According to the (1-1/3)/2 formula, FPX can be pinched. The probability of persimmon is also one-third.
The other two groups are expected to qualify: SKT, RNG, DWG, and IG.
SKT's strength is definitely better than RNG, which has one god and four wings, but the new army of DWG is not much better than IG - Theshy suppressed Nuguri, who had just entered the LCK for a year, in all aspects. If Leyan and Baolan hadn't taken turns to get sick, a The canopy of wine barrels makes food worse, and if one plays Titan as a death-dealer, DWG may not be IG's opponent.
If the support doesn't want to give away, it can be solved by playing a soft support and standing behind the AD. As for the jungle, there is also a Ning king sitting next to the IG water fountain who dares to rush forward at any time to risk his life. Even though Ning's state in the summer split is very poor, for a time It is definitely better to fall into the match-fixing scandal than to be as happy as Mingyan.
In addition, IG has endured the setbacks of 18 consecutive wins in the Spring Split and the loss to RNG in the Summer Split, and has the experience of winning the runner-up in the World Championship. In a BO5 battle, the threat may be higher than that of the fledgling DWG.
In summary.
As long as GRF doesn't encounter SKT's one-third chance, the other two thirds will either be cheap or acceptable. There is no need to fight G2 in the group stage.
A day and a half later, things were different.
FPX was reborn under heavy pressure, bucking the trend and turning from a welfare chicken into a fire phoenix that burned everything. If Griffin didn't compete with G2, there was a high probability that they would be eliminated in the first round of the knockout round.
"Hello, fellow summoners."
I remember the opening remarks in the LPL commentary box at the beginning of the year: "The last game was narrated by me, Wang Duoduo and the special guest Shenchao. The two sides were the European No. 1 seed G2 and the LCK second seed GRF. This game was against two teams. The team is all important.”
"That's right." Wang Duoduo answered: "G2 was originally one of the favorite teams to win the championship according to the commentators and viewers in each competition area, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite Brother Tian to join, and their strength has taken a step forward; GRF led With the past glory of the LCK division, it is also a strong team that cannot be ignored.”
"Let's take a look at the starting list first." Remember to read the names on the screen: "G2's starting lineup is top laner Tian Ge, jungler Jankos, mid laner Caps, bottom lane Perkz and assistant Mikyx. Next, let's take a look at Tian Ge's performance What will be said before the game”
Screen switching.
Come to the trash talk session that was recorded in advance.
Ye Tian appeared in front of the camera with a smile: "Today's highlights should be the two teams GRF and C9. Come on, we are second in the group!"
【What a good group and second place】
[Brother Tian’s saucy level is almost as good as that of ancestor Saiwen]
[Is the anti-fan leader joking with you? Other anti-fans can only curse in forums and barrages. Brother Tian chased him to the EDG club and tortured him, pointing his nose at the director and scolding the scavenging jungler]
[GRF finally beat 4-1. When I heard this sentence, I really lost my temper, hahaha]
The audience was delighted.
"GRF's starting lineup is Sword in the top lane, Tarzan in the jungle, Chovy in the mid lane, and Viper+Lehends in the bottom lane."
Wang Duoduo finished reading the lineup and looked at the cue card: "A lot of things have happened in GRF during this period. First, coach Mai Ge was kicked out before the World Championships, and then it was revealed that the CEO forced players to sign five-year contracts. , the news that non-main players can only stand and eat leftovers. Between the two rounds of the group stage, the GRF club fired the original CEO. This may be one of the reasons for their excellent performance in the second round. "
"The original Griffin had internal and external troubles, but now at least the internal worries have been eliminated." Remember to answer: "There is another interesting news. GRF top laner Sword was threatened by the Korean audience to kill him due to his poor performance in the first round. Sent to the other side of the 38th Parallel to dig coal, this battle is the key to deciding whether he will dig coal.”
With teasing.
The director's camera showed the Sword Emperor with a big round face.
In the past, everyone just thought it was funny. After the GRF incident of letting the substitutes eat leftovers, they all joked that all the GRF team's meals were eaten by the Sword King.
"In the last round of the match, GRF was on the blue side. According to the group stage rules, G2 is on the blue side this time."
"The group stage is played once per side, and a coin will be tossed only when extra games are played."
Wang Duoduo briefly explained the rules and read out the Ban/Pick information: "G2 took the lead in banning Yuumi. During the group stage, Yuumi's appearance rate and winning rate were average, but GRF assisted Lehends in using Yuumi's winning rate in the summer game. It’s 100%. G2 has plenty of space in the blue position, so we still respect the ID.”
"Pan Sen, the first Ban Sen in GRF, is the regular ban position that the red side has to assume."
After Pan Sen's redesign, not only is his strength exaggerated, he can also swing in the four positions of top laner, jungler, mid laner, and support. His mid-term support ability is even better than that of the old version of Pan Sen. E [God's Blessing Spear Array] is stuck. At good timing, he can offset two beam attacks from defense towers, making him a true all-around hero.
Currently, no team dares to try to release Panson.
"The second team of G2 gives Titan to prevent one-handed control."
Remember to read on: "GRF's second team is Kiana. Jankos's performance with Kiana in the Summer Split was average, but her performance in the World Championship and Summer Split was completely different. C9 tried to let go once and was stunned on the spot. ”
"C9 is crossing the river by feeling the stones, GRF is crossing the river by feeling the stones." Shenchao joked.
"To pay two fixed ban positions for strong heroes, Sword will be under great pressure." Wang Duoduo turned the topic to the most eye-catching one: "Except for the fixed ban position, GRF can only limit one top lane hero. If Brother Tian has a relatively strong top order, and Sword may be cleared.”
"I wonder if Brother Tian will choose Shen." Remember to think divergently: "In the first four games, Brother Tian chose heroes that his opponents have used. When playing against C9, Brother Tian chose Ornn, and C9's top laner chose Shen. , for Griffin, it should be relatively easy for Tian Ge to choose Shen... Oh, Griffin banned Shen? "
In the third team, G2 banned Galio.
Griffin was inexplicably cautious.
It seems unreasonable.
If Ye Tian doesn't choose caution, GRF's move is a waste of a precious ban position. If Ye Tian chooses caution, GRF's operation of disabling caution will be even more stupid.
——Compared to heroes such as Crocodile, Akali, Sword Demon, and Qinggangying, Shen is much weaker in both laning and team battles. If Ye Tian continues to play the teaching game, it should be a dream for GRF. ah!
While everyone was wondering, Griffin revealed the answer.
When G2 grabbed the wine barrel on the first floor, GRF made the first two choices and locked Jess and Akali together!
Very fierce!
Both Jayce and Akali are hit-or-miss offensive heroes.
Although GRF did not reveal their cards in the group stage as expected, they obviously wanted to fight G2 desperately!
"No wonder we have to be cautious."
Shenchao analyzed: "A considerable part of Akali's output relies on basic attacks, and will be defeated by Shen's sword formation. Jayce has a slight advantage in the laning phase, but will be dragged to death by Shen's split push in the middle and late stages. As long as Shen comes out. Ju Jiu + Langton, Jace can’t even beat them in a one-on-one match.”
"There are no heroes left who are particularly good at beating Jace. However, Brother Tian can beat Jace with anything." Wang Duoduo is very confident in Ye Tian: "The second and third floors of G2 are Yasuo + Kyle. Could it be that Tian Do you want to use Yasuo? ”
"It could also be Kyle." I remember bringing up the past: "Yesterday in the game between FPX and GAM, Doinb showed Kyle jumping over the tower to kill Jayce. I think Brother Tian has the ability to recreate that scene."
GRF selected Kai'Sa, the daughter of the void, on the third floor, and formed a double cut with Akali, creating an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
Entering the second round of Ban/Pick.
G2 banned Dawn and Braum.
GRF banned Xia and Lao Niu.
On the fourth floor, GRF focused on Luo and continued to implement the forced group opening system.
On the fourth and fifth floors of G2, they first got the Blind Sin and swung the barrel to the auxiliary position. Then, he revealed something that surprised everyone... Ornn!
"Is it really a full teaching bureau?"
Wang Duoduo said with surprise: "I dare say that if Shen is not banned, Brother Tian will definitely choose Shen. If Shen is banned, Brother Tian will do the next best thing and show everyone Ornn again."
When GRF got the prince on the fifth floor, the two sides made final exchange adjustments, and Aoun moved to the first floor, which is the position representing the top laner.
Blue side: G2
Red side: GRF
Top laner: Ornn vs Jayce
Jungler: Blind Monk vs Prince
Mid laner: Kayle vs Akali
AD: Yasuo vs Kai'Sa
Support: Barrel vs Luo
"From a lineup perspective, G2 did a better job."
Remember to make a comparison: "GRF came up with a combination of all members cutting into the back row, but there is no real back row in the G2 team. Ornn and Gragas' backhand control, Yasuo's wind wall, and Kyle's ultimate move His backhand ability is also very sufficient.”
"Maybe Kai'Sa and Jace can do some POKE first and stand on the edge and hit slowly. If Akali and Prince don't cut in, it's really useless."
"If GRF wants to win the game, it must establish a large enough advantage. Regardless of the hero's position, it must rely on attribute suppression to beat G2 to death." Shenchao said matter-of-factly: "G2 is much more comfortable overall. They don't need to do anything, as long as they develop normally. There is a high chance of winning in a team battle.”
"Otherwise..."
Shenchao didn't say anything about what happened next.
But viewers who know a little bit about League of Legends know it clearly.
——The further Jace is delayed, the more useless he becomes. The four major items will even degenerate into super soldiers at the stage of the Six God Equipment. Akali has no one to cut except Kyle, and the difficulty of cutting Kyle is also hopelessly high. As the silhouettes of the players passed by the center of the big screen one by one, the Summoner's Rift emerged with the cheers of the audience.
Both sides unanimously adopted the Chu-River-Hanjie style stance to guard the intersection in the jungle.
Ye Tiandai's initial equipment is Dolan Shield + Red Potion, and the cornerstone rune is Grasp of Immortality. As a melee tank, he chooses Immortality when facing Jayce. It can be seen that Ye Tian is confident enough to hit Jayce with the small hammer. On Sri Lanka.
Sword King Sword didn't give up either.
Anyway, GRF will definitely qualify from Group A. This game is just a chance to improve the ranking. Sword is very impressive and brings Dolan Sword + Red Potion. Cornerstone Rune is the most suitable conqueror for a protracted war. To compete with Ye Tian Separate life and death.
Level one.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and hid in the grass in their own half, neither of them willing to move forward.
Jace's hard attributes are lower than Ornn's. If he walks up to Ornn and gets knocked in the face, he will definitely lose money if he exchanges blood.
Ornn is a melee hero. If he is exposed to Jace's vision first, he will inevitably be consumed without responsibility.
It wasn't until the first wave of three melee minions fell to low health that Ye Tian and Sword King Sword walked out of the grass simultaneously, each throwing a Q skill.
Read the error-free version in 6Ⅹ9ⅩBookⅩ! 6Ⅹ9 Shuyiba publishes a novel for the first time. Liujiu Book Bar Reading
Lava fissures and energy bombardment completed the last hit, and the scene was extremely harmonious.
“Sword misses Brother A Tian.”
"Brother Tian turned around and retreated into the grass, blocking Sword's basic attack and raising his hand."
Wang Duoduo watched the handling on the field: "Jace walked over from the edge of the grass, trying to trick Brother Tian into taking action, but Brother Tian still didn't move. The next [Volcano Burst] turned around and successfully slowed down to Jace... Jace The attack distance was not enough, Q was pushed away by Brother Tian! ”
[It’s over, the Sword Emperor is going to dig coal]
[This is the first time I have seen Jace being pulled by Ornn]
[Purely personal ability gap]
[Those who said before that Griffin didn’t play well in the first round and the CEO was fired are they serious? Come out for a stroll】
GRF showed the gap as soon as they met on the road.
There is also something wrong with the bottom lane.
The junglers on both sides started from the bottom half.
In order to avoid being counter-jumpered, Tazan got the blue BUFF with the help of the double lane and went straight up.
Jankos did the opposite. After defeating the red buff, he immediately used a second-level catch inherited from the factory director.
Assistant Mikyx deliberately exposed his buttocks, giving Luo a chance to lift him up with W [Grand Appearance]. Jankos seized on Luo's judgment that he couldn't flash when using W, and kicked out [Tian Yin Wave], which was bound to hit!
Hang the mark.
The wine barrel [Meat Bullet Impact] knocked Luo up.
Yasuo's EQ followed up, with the wind in hand. Rakan flashed and pulled back, and was followed up by the blind monk [Echo Strike]. He got the red BUFF and continued to slow down. Even though Kai'Sa gave a bite of healing to slow down, he didn't turn aside Yasuo's next move. [Whirlwind Slash].
When the blind monk wielded his small fist and got the first drop of blood, the prince, who was not easy to fight against the blind monk in the jungle, was in an even worse situation.
【G2——】
【G2——】
【G2——】
Deafening cheers rose up one after another, fully embodying the home field advantage.
"Jankos entered the GRF jungle to take a look and found that the Demon Swamp Frog was still there, so he started to fight."
"Tazan wanted to switch to the jungle, but he was spotted by the ward as soon as he entered the river. Caps and Brother Tian came over together, so Tazan could only run back."
I remember being overjoyed: “Tazan was afraid of being counter-jumpered by Jankos after playing blue, but Jankos countered a jungle monster precisely because of this brushing method. ”
It is different from being behind online by as many knives as you are behind.
Wild area resources are a zero-sum game with completely opposing interests. That is, when one participant obtains more interests, the interests of other participants will inevitably decrease accordingly. Development data needs to be calculated according to *2.
Jankos finished the Demon Swamp Frog and walked swaggering up the middle lane. Tazan had no way to recover the loss and could only swallow the bitter pill of failed decision-making.
but.
Ye Tian had the advantage at the start. Due to his heroic nature and helping Jankos protect the jungle, even if he passively knocked out a red crystal through online blacksmithing, his health volume was still more than a hundred lower than Jace.
"Sword handled it well."
Wang Duoduo praised: "Although Jace's matchup against Ornn is an absolute advantage, but against Brother Tian, no matter how many prerequisites there are, it is very rare to get the lead."
"Brother Tian sent his troops to the Sword tower. The [Volcano Burst] was twisted open by Jess's [Acceleration Gate]. Sword shot an enhanced cannon with his backhand, clicked a set of AW, and then used A to stack the full number of Conquerors... The fragile BUFF dragged on the body disappeared, and the cutting hammer hit it!"
Sword looked at Ornn's health bar, his eyes shining with satisfaction.
After traveling through the world several times, how many top orders can one take advantage of, even temporarily?
A Theshy.
Anything else?
At least Sword couldn't remember it.
At this moment, Sword twisted away Ornn's Q, dragged Ornn's W, stacked up the Conqueror, and gained the upper hand in combat power. [Leap of the Sky] landed one after another basic attack with magic damage, relying on the double power of [Acceleration Gate] and switching forms. Movement speed bonus, chase Ornn and smash.
The third normal attack is forward, and Sword connects with E [Thunder Blow]. As long as Ornn is pushed away with this attack, the health gap between the two sides will reach more than 300 points, becoming the second front-end attack after Theshy. Suppress the players who passed Tian.
With long-range melee combat, high-tech cold weapons, and a health lead of more than 300 points, even if Tian was the Tongtiandai who was superior to everyone, it would be impossible to reverse this gap.
Choosing Ornn against Jayce as a last resort?
joke!
I, Sword King, will tell the whole world today that no one has the right to be so arrogant in front of me!
Ye Tian's face was calm.
While using the small hammer to reverse A, observe Jace's movements.
When Jace swung the warhammer twice in succession, Ye Tian immediately pressed the Q button and smashed out the cooled [Volcano Canyon].
Many skills have "uninterruptible" special effects.
[Volcanic gully] is one of them.
While Jace was still frozen in the AE action, Ornn created a crack through the earth in the process of being forced to move.
The fissure spread to Jace's feet, slowing him down and creating a pillar of lava.
Seeing this, the pride in Sword's eyes instantly turned into panic. He hurriedly switched to gun form, hoping to escape from the coverage of Ornn's next skill by relying on the 40-point movement speed bonus.
However.
Too naive.
When the lava pillar was generated, Jace had just regained his ability to move, and he was still wearing a 40% slowdown. The mere 40-point bonus gained from switching forms hardly produced any changes that could be detected with the naked eye.
Ye Tian hit the E key.
[Fierce Charge] targets the lava pillar, destroys the terrain, and knocks out of the knock-up area with a radius of 350 yards. The edge is just right to send Jace into the air!
Small hammer forty!
W [Bellows Flame Breath] spits out fierce flames and is fragile to Jace.
The small hammer swung again, dealing triple damage of basic attack + immortal grip + fragile.
When three numbers, one red and two purple, floated up, the health bar above Jace's head just cleared. The high-tech weapon in his hand fell off and his body fell forward.
System prompts floated up.
——G2丶Tian (Yam Hidden Flame) killed GRF丶Sword (Guardian of the Future)! (End of chapter)
