Chapter 103 The gap between the first in the division and the first in the world!


Chapter 103 The gap between the first in the division and the first in the world!
When the players left, the previously recorded quarter-final promotional video was played on the big screen.

The camera transitions from the night view of the iconic building Canton Tower to the bird's-eye view of the competition venue. As time goes by, the traffic flow changes from dense to sparse, and the world gradually falls silent.

Finally, a ray of dawn lit up in the distance.

Screen transition.

At the LPL Summer Finals, the EDG team flag composed of black and white was fluttering in the wind!

When the video of EDG winning the championship and winning the trophy was played, the scenes of the LZ team defeating powerful enemies and reaching the top of the LCK were accompanied by exciting music. Top laner Khan, jungler Cuzz, mid laner BDD, and bottom laner Pary+Gorilla Xuanming The silhouettes of the two old duo passed by one by one.

“In 2015, I fell in second place, and in 2016, I fell in the semi-finals.”

"It would be really a dramatic thing if he fell in the quarterfinals in 2017."

Rat King Pary is self-deprecating.

It also expresses the determination that cannot and will never be defeated.

"I've already got four of my own quarterfinals."

The factory director was smiling, but his voice was firm: "In my career, there should not be a fifth top eight."

After two veterans.

The conversation gradually became explosive.

Whether it is BDD and Scout, who were once the kings of the Korean server, or the talented newcomers Cuzz and Iboy, they all use sharp and unyielding language.

The two assistants Meiko and Gorilla don't seem to be that fierce, but in fact they are hiding something behind the scenes.

at last.

The figure of Khan, the strongest rhythm point of the LZ team and the world's number one top laner, emerged in the darkness: "When we appear here, there is only one goal that other teams need to compete for - runner-up."

Ye Tian walked to the edge of the sky garden under the scorching sun at noon and looked at the busy traffic below: "I heard that player Khan has a very good mentality. This is a good thing. This way, he can adjust quickly after being beaten by me."

【I'm going crazy! 】

【Momentum】

[Brother Tian really blew up Khan’s Jess a few days ago]

[Can Rank also be mentioned? 】

[I don’t know what to pretend, I’ll wait until I get off work at three to zero]

【how? Brother Tian is not the number one top laner in LPL? Theshy said he wanted to learn from Brother Tian, ​​do Letme and 957 have any objections? 】

[There is still a gap between the number one top laner in the region and the number one top laner in the world. We must recognize the facts]

[EDG is worthy of being the crown prince team, and they even recorded a special program for the point-giving game]

[The show must be recorded, this is EDG’s last chance to show their face]

The barrage was full of bad news.

"Hello, viewers, this is the quarter-finals of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals. The two teams competing today are EDG, the number one seed in our LPL division, and LZ, the number one seed in the LCK."

"The winner between them will get the first spot to the semi-finals!"

Wang Duoduo read out the opening remarks: "The trash talk on both sides just now was very powerful, especially Tian. I think the most interesting thing today is the top lane confrontation. After all, both EDG and LZ have a very strong top laner."

"There is still a difference." Shenchao's voice was not loud, but it was very clear: "LZ's team mainly relies on the top laner to set the rhythm, while EDG's top laner is more like an independent point, and the integration with the whole is not very good. I think the emergence of The reason for this situation is that the time that EDG's top laner worked with other players was too short and lacked sufficient running-in."

certainly.

Besides this reason, there is another possibility.

That is, the personal ability of the top laner far exceeds that of other team members, forming a "bringing attack" effect for masters to fry fish at low levels, and naturally they will not follow the rhythm of the other four pendants.

But in the professional league, the so-called [power training] and [champion list] can be used as jokes. If someone takes it seriously, Shenchao will laugh at him.

"In other words, Tian will have to face pressure from Khan and Cuzz?"

As a former king, Hallucination is still very quick in thinking: "According to the style of the EDG team, the factory director's support for the top lane is often not so timely, and Tian may not be so easy to handle."

"It depends on the specific performance." Wang Duoduo stood on EDG's side: "Okay, the Ban/Pick has started. The LZ team got the priority to choose the side during the coin toss and took the initiative to choose the blue side. In this way, They gained the right to ban first, and the price for this was that one point would be countered by EDG on the fifth floor.”

"Look at the Banshee."

"——Qinggangying, Skateboard Shoes, Lucian, top laner in the third class!"

Skateboard Shoes is a well-deserved T0 hero in the Incense Burner version. During the finals, the ban rate was as high as 87.2%, and the winning rate also reached an exaggerated 80%.

After entering the group stage, the ban rate of skateboard shoes increased to 100%, and no team was willing to release skateboard shoes.

Normally, skateboard shoes are the responsibility of the red side, and the blue side will not care.

However, the LZ team saw that SKT had banned skateboard shoes on the blue side before, and also took into account the director's ability to catch and their own tactical system of focusing on the upper and jungle in the early stage, as well as the fact that there are no other heroes that must be banned, so they can put up smoke bombs in a game that is guaranteed to win. In these three aspects, I decided to pay a half for skateboard shoes.

EDG banned Jayce, Troll, and Rakan in the first round.

Come to the selection stage.

First floor.

LZ takes Xia first.

Although there is no Xia Luo combination, PraY's best Ashe is not suitable for the stage, and the second best Varus is relatively weak in the late stage. Considering EDG's emphasis on the bottom lane, Xia, a violent player with the only ability to protect himself after level 6, Hit flow AD is a good choice.

On the first and second floors of EDG, take out the policewoman and the wine barrel respectively.

On the second and third floor of LZ, take out the Prince and Feng Nu.

According to common sense, since LZ has played Feng Nu, EDG should take Lulu, who has the same appearance rate as Feng Nu. However, I don’t know whether EDG made a mistake in their decision-making or something, and they actually picked Galio in the middle first.

"Is Galio's priority so high?"

I don’t quite understand Hallucination: “The winning rate of this hero is really good, but I don’t think it’s as important as Lulu. You must take Galio. You can also put the wine barrel back. Policewoman + Lulu + Galio will appear on the first three floors. The first If you don’t get T1 level support in the first round, you definitely won’t get it in the second round.”

really.

As hallucinogens say.

LZ did not hesitate to ban Lulu and Noshou in the second round.

EDG banned Rock Bird and Dragon King, and the first one on the fourth floor was... Soul Lock Warden - Thresh!

The bottom lane is not the standard combination of incense burner monsters, but Thresh Policewoman? !
【Ah? 】

【How to choose this】

[If you don’t take Lulu, take a Thresh, your brain will be watted]

[In the first round, Lucian reversed the version, and in the second round, Thresh reversed the version. Is EDG crazy? 】

The audience raised questions.

What is the version?
This is the truth that if you follow the trend, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will perish!
Except for the big devil Faker, who played Ryze’s reverse version once in S5, other reverse version teams and players died uglier than the last. The most representative one is the LPL who developed the Fire Man Iron Smelting No. 1 seed LGD.

As the number one seed in different times, EDG also wants to follow LGD's old path of starting scientific research from the support position?

"I think... it's okay to give it a try."

Wang Duoduo tried hard to find an angle to help explain: "EDG uses a normal lineup to play against LZ, and the chance of winning is relatively low. Try using special routines, maybe it will be effective."

"That's right." Shenchao has the same view: "It is said that the 7.18 version is dominated by soft assistants, but in fact, soft assistants also have shortcomings that cannot be made up for. A fast-paced team like EDG can use hard assistants to speed up the game very well."

"It's not like Thresh can't use the incense burner." Qi Huan pointed out: "Anyway, the W skill is a shield!"

While talking.

The fourth and fifth floors of LZ were selected.

They are Syndra, used by mid laner BDD, and Weapon Master, used by top laner Khan.

"No wonder I have to give my hand."

Wang Duoduo went through the process of deducing the results: "Weapons are indeed not good for laning against Nuoshou. We can win in one-on-one battles in the mid-to-late stage, but we can't win in team battles - the plate armor Nuoshou developed by Tian can easily defeat it if it can withstand one round of bursts." Bleeding Rage, weapons and trolls have the same principle. They don’t have much HP, and they rely entirely on the dual resistance provided by the skills, but the dual resistance is useless in the face of Noshou’s real damage.”

"That's right." Shenchao nodded: "Let's see what hero Tian uses... Crocodile is still out there, but this version is not suitable for choosing Crocodile. TSM's Hauntzer and FNC's sOAZ lost with Crocodile, and only FW's MMD won. Once.”

"If God were to supersede you on the field, wouldn't you choose the crocodile?" Hallucination joked.

"That's for sure." Shenchao felt a little nostalgic.

"Oh, Tian's last choice was Vampire!" Wang Duoduo looked at the lower right corner of the screen: "Vampire is also a very unpopular hero, even colder than Crocodile - Crocodile has won at least one of three games, and Vampire has appeared twice in the qualifying rounds. They made one appearance in the group stage and achieved a complete defeat.”

"but……"

After Wang Duoduo finished talking about the data, he made a twist: "In those three games, the mid lane vampire was used. In this game, EDG used the top lane vampire. There are still certain differences in different positions."

The mid laner needs to shoulder the responsibility of driving the early and mid-term rhythm. Using a non-confrontational hero like Vampire will definitely affect the situation of the jungler and the two wings.

It's much better to place an order.

After all, in most teams, apart from using teleportation to support, the top laner has nothing to do with the battle situation. He will not come out until the team battle, standing in front of his teammates as a sandbag to eat skills.

EDG has a vampire on the top lane, no matter how well it is used, at least it won't drag down teammates.

When the coach shakes hands and exits.

The large screen switches to the reading interface. Blue side: LZ
Red side: EDG
Top lane: Weapon vs Vampire

Jungler: Prince vs. Barrel
Mid laner: Syndra vs. Galio

AD: Xayah vs. Policewoman
Auxiliary: Feng Nu vs. Thresh
With the not-so-enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the perspective turned 180 degrees around the Summoner's Rift, and the display on the wall The banner of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals was pulled into a normal battle shot.

"EDG's lineup... I feel a bit contradictory."

Hallucination analysis from a hero's perspective: "Let's talk about the policewoman first. Everyone knows that the policewoman's curve is a V-shape. She is strong in the early stage, weak in the middle stage, and extremely strong in the late stage. However, EDG really drags on until the late stage. Faced with Weapons masters who play split-push style can be said to have no choice.”

"In the mid-to-late stage, the damage is not enough. The reason why vampires are rare in this version and the winning rate is also very low is because the AOE thrown at it is offset by Feng Nu's R."

"It's true." Wang Duoduo couldn't find the fault in his partner's words: "Let's take a look at the situation in each position. Tian uses a vampire with a wind rider. The initial equipment is dark seal + reusable potion. Summoner skill selection He used Sprint + Flash; Khan’s talent was Thunder and he knew it would be consumed, so he brought Corruption Potion as a supply, and his Summoner Skill was Flash + Teleport.”

In the jungle position, the prince is the thunder, and the wine barrel is the courage of the colossus.

The mid laner is also Thunder versus Colossus.

AD The bloodlust of two war lords.

In the auxiliary position, Wind Lady is the blessing of the Windspeaker, and Thresh is the courage of the Colossus.

"Three Colossi."

"EDG will be very strong in early fighting."

Shenchao analyzed from the positive side: "The shields of these three colossi are equivalent to half a life. If LZ fights EDG in the lower half, it will easily break their heads and bleed."

"But LZ plays in the top half." Qi Huan told the truth: "Both junglers farm from bottom to top. This is good news for Tian. He can get a little protection from the factory director. Alas...Khan The troop line got stuck!"

1 minute and 44 seconds.

Khan crossed half the court and walked to the red side's soldiers. He resisted a little damage and allowed the three red side's melee soldiers to gather together.

There are two ideas for this stuck line.

If the vampire gang jungler starts from the top half, it is easy to lose troops.

It doesn't matter if you don't help the jungler at the start. The weapon master can slowly control the troop line back, and use the length of the top troop line to find opportunities to attack the vampires.

LZ head coach Hirai saw this with a look of satisfaction on his face.

As expected of Khan!

As a veteran who entered the professional circle in 2013, although Khan has always played in the secondary league that is not strong enough, his handling of details is not inferior to the players in the Super League, or even better.

It can be seen that during the few years of struggling in the secondary league, Khan did not waste his time like most people, but worked hard to improve himself. With this kind of mentality, he will definitely leave an unforgettable impression on the World Championship stage. name.

but.

Watch and watch.

Hirai noticed something not quite right.

——The weapons master obviously got stuck in the line of troops, but failed to pull the line back. Instead, he gradually pushed forward...

What's going on?
“Tian is so delicate!”

Shenchao exclaimed in the commentary box: "You may not have noticed that Tian's tail-filling knife is different from Khan's. Khan's tail-filling knife blocks the last bit of health of the minion. This is also the most commonly used method. If you want to Locking up the last bit of blood requires a lot of practice, and not everyone among professional players can do it.”

"Tian, ​​a vampire, is not only stuck on his last bit of blood, but also blocked on his minion attacks - he only goes to make up for it after his own minion attacks!"

"Ah?" Wang Duoduo blinked, not understanding.

"Just like blocking the attack interval of the defense tower, blocking the attack interval of his own minions?" Huan Huan understood: "Tian's last strike after his own minions attack is equivalent to less of his own minions attacking, which is the most perfect line control Way!"

【So fine? 】

[I looked at it carefully and it is indeed the case]

[It’s so awesome]

[If you learn nothing, you will learn nothing]

[Although I don’t understand it, it feels so awesome]

After talking about Shen Chao and Qi Huan, the audience realized that the top lane opened up the gap in details. The new LPL top laner actually cracked the routine of Khan, the world's number one, silently, with just a few simple moves. Second last shot.

Should this be called a heavy sword that has no edge, is ingenious and incompetent, or can grass, wood, bamboo, and stone be used as swords?

"Tian's last hit was perfect, not missing a single soldier."

"Control the troops in front of the tower, Cuzz has absolutely nothing to do."

Shenchao read the situation on the road: "Khan is a little embarrassed now. He ran into the river to make a ward. Even if the factory director doesn't like to catch him, he will use a skill when he sees that Khan is pressed too deep."

While talking.

Cuzz relied on the superior top and middle routes to invade the EDG jungle and cause trouble.

Fortunately, the factory director had already studied Cuzz's playing style. With the help of policewoman Thresh, he got the blue BUFF and switched to red BUFF. After finishing the red BUFF, he went to the F6 camp. Cuzz went through most of the way from the river into the jungle area. At a distance of three yards, I only managed to get two birdies from the factory director's lips.

Not to mention that it would be a loss to eat two birds after shopping for so long.

Cuzz grabs F6 and directly forces the director's Dark Kai mode out!

Four minutes.

The factory director went to the bottom lane to take action.

Go around the field of view and come to the back of Kasumi and Fengnu. Q [Rolling Barrel] first explodes to slow down, then use long-range E [Meat Bomb Impact] to force out Kasumi's flash, and then follow up with E flash!
Bang——

The fat belly of the wine barrel teleported in front of Xia, knocking Xia staggering!
Meiko also handed over flash, Q [Death Sentence] reached out for a rusty iron hook, pulled Kasumi's body and then E [Pendulum of Doom], sweeping Kasumi onto the clip that the policewoman had just placed!
Click!
The clip is fastened.

Xia had no ability to resist in EDG's control chain, and was shot in the head by Iboy to take away the first drop of blood!

"pretty!"

"EDG's combo is very strong!"

Wang Duoduo cheered: "Thresh may not give AD as much benefit as Lulu, but it is easier than Lulu to cooperate with teammates to perform GANK, especially the combo of QE and policewoman's clip, which is a very classic skill combination."

"Here on the road...Is Tian's knife all right?"

5 minutes and 57 seconds.

Ye Tian controlled the number of minions, and his action of standing in front of his tower and returning to the city was captured by the director. Wang Duoduo looked at the number of last hits [52] in the information column and felt that things were not that simple.

"Not a single cut was missed."

Shenchao spoke very rigorously: "The nine-wave army line has a total of 54 soldiers, plus three artillery carriages, it is 57. The artillery carriages, long-range soldiers and one melee soldier of the recent wave of the army line are not dead, there are 5 in total. The upper limit of last hits without eating wild monsters is 52.”

On the other hand, the weapons master.

43 CS is by no means too small.

But compared with the 52 vampires, the economic difference is nearly 200 yuan!
“Tian bought the Explosive Wand + Magic Power Book, the equipment is very violent.”

"Khan didn't have enough money to buy the Demon Drinking Knife, so he bought a long sword + magic resistance cloak + shoes... After thinking about it, I decided to return the long sword and buy a pair of mercury shoes."

Hallucinations focuses on the most important points of confrontation throughout.

Khan returned to the city one step ahead of Ye Tian, ​​so he would naturally return to the road faster.

Hit the minions with A several times.

Only then did Khan see the vampire's figure from the edge of his vision.

After updating his equipment and having just stacked up his R [Grandmaster's Might] passive, Khan was so confident that he used [Leap Slash] without hesitation to rush towards the vampire who had just used Q to consume it once.

AW [charged strike] delivers burst damage!
E [Counterattack Storm] is activated!
Force the blood pool!
“No, buddy?”

Ye Tian was startled by Khan's actions. He carefully confirmed that it was Mingkai standing at the intersection of LZ Blue BUFF and not Cuzz, and then he became suspicious.

Why do you dare to jump on a vampire's face when you are a J2 weapon with mercury shoes? !

Blood pool?
The damn AW+R passives are all used up, so open the blood pool!

Looking at the weapon master stuck on his face, Ye Tian retreated first, charging up E [Tide of Blood] while walking. When he was stunned by the weapon, the value just reached the highest level!
Resist the weapon again, regain mobility, continue to retreat, and wait for the skill CD.

After Q [Blood Conversion] turns well, R [Blood Plague] is scattered at the feet of the weapon master. The red bar Q takes a sip and sprints forward!

Khan was startled, turned around and ran away.

But [Jump Slash] has just been used, and the 45-point movement speed of the second-level shoes is not as big as sprinting. As soon as Khan returned to his own half, he ate the consumption of Ye Tian's second charged E + normal Q, even with R [Grandmaster's Power] actively increases double resistance, but is still suppressed to residual health.

Ye Tian charged E to slow down Khan, and used basic attacks to supplement the output while walking.

Chase into the defense tower range.

Flash and flash.

Q [Blood Conversion], which received the damage bonus of [Crimson Dash], drew a -213 with purple flame special effects from Khan!

Swish——

The damage number jumps.

The Weapon Master's remaining health was drained away and he died at the foot of the defense tower!
