Chapter 263: The Rise of the LZ Team
"Congratulations to EDG for regaining first place in Group A!"
"RNG's record in the regular season was 10 wins and 6 losses, one win less than EDG, so EDG is also the first in our LPL ranking."
"With this ranking, plus the points from the spring season, I can already guarantee a ticket to the world finals."
"Other teams need to cheer up!"
After Wawa's introduction, he looked at the settlement panel and said, "EDG's top laner and double Cs did a lot of damage, both over 15,000. WE was in an awkward situation because they didn't have much room to deal damage, especially Ashe, who was targeted in almost every teamfight."
The whole game.
Ashe's damage isn't even as much as Lee Sin's .
Just a little higher than the two side assists.
It is conceivable how helpless Mystic, the brother-in-law who is firmly in the first tier in team battles, is to achieve such statistics.
"MVP should go to the top laner."
Miller speculated: "Because in addition to damage, General's role in the early, mid and late stages is even more critical. Whether it's killing Ashe from behind in the jungle or taking down the high ground during split push, it's a turning point in the game."
While talking.
In the center of the big screen, Xing Dao’s half-body silhouette appeared together with the hero of Wushuang Jianji.
After the presentation, the interview phase began.
The person invited to the stage was Meiko, who joined EDG in the S5 season, won the Best Newcomer award in the same year, and won the Best Support title in S5 and S6. He gradually grew from a small field to the number one in the region.
If Xing Dao is the backbone and Zz1tai is the think tank, Meiko is the most stable cornerstone of the team.
Although it is not so flashy, it is crucial.
Wait until the interview is over.
The EDG team got on the bus and returned to the base.
Asked the cafeteria to add four dishes to celebrate.
No seafood.
On the one hand, Ah Shui is allergic . Everyone else is eating it, leaving Ah Shui alone, which doesn’t feel good.
Another aspect is that seafood is a high-protein food, which will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and easily cause diarrhea.
If something unexpected happens, it will affect the upcoming playoffs.
Not to mention that EDG is in a critical period of practicing tactics. In addition to the ultimate lineup of Shen, Galio, and Ziggs, there are other things, such as the combination of Stoneborn Pact triggering the Censer, which requires little by little exploration and correction. Every day is extremely precious and no problems are allowed to occur.
The athletes are training intensively.
Abu, Maokai and the logistics team are studying the LCK playoffs together.
This year, a team called LZ (Longzhu) has emerged in the LCK region. The top laner is Khan, the jungler is Cuzz, the mid laner is Bdd, and the bottom lane is the duo of PraY and GorillA.
There's not much to say about the bottom lane.
The first generation Rat King PraY and the veteran support GorillA are quite strong.
But it's just pretty strong.
Within the scope of coping.
Moreover, these two veterans who debuted in the S2-S3 season and wrestled with LPL's AD founder Smile have demonstrated all their strengths in recent years, so there will be nothing unexpected.
The remaining three are different.
Khan was the top laner of WE.A before. He performed well in LSPL and his performance was even better after returning to LCK.
Bdd was a substitute for CJE in 2015 and never made an appearance due to his age.
The data for 2016 was mediocre.
He joined the LZ team in 2017 and became the starter in the summer season. He cooperated with the jungler Cuzz who had just entered the professional league. Not only did he win the first place in the regular season, but he also swept the veteran champion SKT 3-1 in the post-season championship battle, blocking SKT's four-in-one victory and making LZ the new king of the LCK region.
"Khan is quite aggressive in laning."
Abu watched the battle situation in the video and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Four games.
Khan used Master Yi, Jayce, Steel Shadow, and Jayce respectively.
The only time we suffered a small loss was in the first game when Weapon was not at an advantage against Shen, but we made it back with some profit in the split push and team fight stages.
In the next three games, he suppressed Marin twice and defeated Huni once, which shows that he is extremely proficient in offensive heroes.
"Indeed, this Jayce of his doesn't shed tears." Maokai judged based on his equipment.
The LCK region's e-sports system is not completely flawless.
The most obvious one is that it is easy to have insufficient hero proficiency.
Take Jace, for example.
A skilled player who is able to control blue mana accurately does not need the Tears of the Goddess to ensure endurance and can convert all the economy into attributes.
Before the LCK region, almost every Jayce had a Tear of the Goddess.
This wastes a total of 700 gold coins.
It is equivalent to getting the first or second blood, with no practical improvement.
The impact is huge.
Think about it, heroes like Crocodile, Kled, and Shen, after reaching level 6, rush up and fight Jayce head-on. Jayce, who does not have Tear of the Goddess, will at least have two extra long swords, and can even combine key armor-piercing and CD equipment, so he is likely to win the battle.
For Jayce who has Tear of the Goddess, the probability of losing will obviously increase a lot.
As for the final superposition of the magic cut...
The attack power of the S7 season's Mana Cut is much lower, and the special effects of additional damage can only be triggered through normal attacks and single-target skills. Jayce's Q skill [Electric Shock] does not enjoy any bonus, and its actual combat effect is far inferior to that of large items of the same price.
The reason for this situation is that LCK requires strategic significance and lineup matching.
As for proficiency...
As long as you reach the passing line and can take on fixed responsibilities, you can play. You don't need to have the ability to counter or even go against the version and carry the game.
Khan is an outlier in that he can play Jayce to perfection.
In addition, mid laner BDD and jungler Cuzz also had very outstanding records. One was able to compete with Faker and the other beat Peanut in terms of rhythm.
Wait for the BO5 training match to end.
During the review phase, Abu introduced this emerging strong team in the LCK region.
"Khan..." Xing Dao's face looked a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Abu asked curiously.
"It's nothing, nothing. I just didn't expect him to be so powerful." Xing Dao made up an excuse.
"Indeed, we need to be more serious...but we don't have to worry too much about his Jace." Abu said this and found it a bit strange.
EDG tried the matchup of top lane Lucian against Jayce early on.
Moreover, he practiced with Saint Spear and Master Brother of LSPL team in training matches.
It is easy to achieve the threading effect.
but.
I have never used it against Jayce before, but I have kept it until now. It always feels like I am waiting for Khan...
As for Shen and Yiguan, there is also Fiora to deal with them.
At least you won't suffer any loss.
"BDD is good at teamfights and support in the middle. He often uses Clockwork and Taliyah. It's best to give him enough pressure."
"Jungler Cuzz is very aggressive, so be careful."
“It’s hard to encounter the same situation as other teams, and we might not be able to adapt to it.”
Abu continued, "But don't worry too much. Just have a general impression. We may not run into them again. The most urgent thing is to improve our own system."
