Chapter 265: People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being fat, Wei Shen alone has both
"Hello, summoners!"
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Pro League, Summer Playoffs!"
Ze Yuan, Jide, and Rita appeared in the commentary booth.
Ze Yuan spoke first: "Before the game starts, let me introduce our sponsors... Thank you for the strong support from the above brands."
"Today's game was very interesting. LGD robbed the rich and helped the poor since the regular season, all the way to the semi-finals of the playoffs, and came to our LPL No. 1 EDG team."
"Will EDG be able to defend its honor, or will LGD be able to win all the way?"
If only it were a dark horse.
The probability of shaking EDG is basically non-existent.
But.
LGD was the summer champion in S5, and core players Wei Shen, imp, and Hirano Aya are still in the team.
In terms of experience and mentality, they are not much worse than EDG.
The majority of viewers are definitely optimistic about EDG.
But to say that there is no suspense is obviously unrealistic.
and……
The two teams, or to be more precise, the two teams' top players, have a history of grievances and entanglements.
Old players all know that the name of the factory manager, which changed from a nickname to a name, came from a sentence said after a Rank conflict.
The original text is: Why bother playing this profession if you are so bad at it? You might as well go home and raise pigs.
Since then, a series of famous memes have been derived, such as "I am the boss of my jungle, I raise pigs in your jungle", "I am your piglet, factory manager", etc.
The one who was criticized was exactly the same as people are afraid of becoming famous and pigs are afraid of getting fat, and a certain Wei Shen was the only one who possessed both of these.
Who is the pig today is also something the audience is looking forward to.
"In terms of statistics, EDG is much better."
I remember using a relatively neutral term: "LDG has been robbing the rich and helping the poor during the regular season, so the first blood, the first tower, the control of the big dragon and the overall win rate are all at a mid-level."
"And in terms of stability, EDG is obviously more stable."
"No matter what the situation, General can play a supporting role, which is also one of the most important roles of the top laner."
"We can't ignore LGD's upper limit either." Rita added: "From the Spring Split to the Summer Split, LGD has defeated almost all the strong teams in the LPL region."
This kind of thing is even more metaphysical.
It is simple to say.
Veterans like Wei Shen, imp, and Hirano Aya in the LGD team are similar to the "mixed" kings in the high-level segments.
You should perform at a level that matches the level of your opponent.
You can get MVP in the King's League.
Can integrate into the segment in the silver league.
To put it bluntly, just because you have the awareness, understanding and operational foundation, it doesn't mean you are really a bad player.
If you meet a strong enough opponent, you can also stimulate the muscle memory that has been developed through thousands of trials and tribulations.
With a jungler with a unique style like Eimy, all kinds of strange situations can happen.
Speaking of this.
The director's camera is directed to the main stage.
The players of the two teams entered the venue through the dedicated passage and found their respective seats and sat down.
"Take a look at the starting lineup."
Ze Yuan received the message: "EDG's top laner is General, jungler is Zweichang, mid laner is Scout, and bottom lane is JackeyLove and Meiko."
"LGD top laner Jimoo, jungler Eimy, mid laner Wei Shen, bottom lane imp and Hirano Aya."
“The confrontation will be intense.”
Compared to iBoy's development and other team's playing styles.
A Shui is more radical.
In his peak period, imp was notoriously arrogant and was good at making moves. Even when his form declined, his style was still relatively proactive.
I'm afraid there won't be peace when these two players meet.
Not to mention getting on the road.
There will never be peace with an offensive top laner.
After some debugging, the big screen switched to the Ban/Pick stage.
As the team ranked higher in the regular season, EDG had the priority to choose the side and chose the blue side without a doubt.
Disable rats at the beginning.
Rat is imp's famous hero and has a champion skin, which is a targeted ID.
LGD banned Galio, the Colossus of Justice, a tank that can go to the middle to support the jungle or go to the bottom to take on supporting duties.
Next.
EDG blocked Kog'Maw and Luo.
LGD held down Skateboards and Jayce.
It can be seen that EDG wants to limit the performance ceiling of imp, the S4 champion, while LGD wants to help jungler Eimy reduce the risk of being invaded and avoid being bullied by the factory manager.
First floor.
EDG directly grabbed the Dark Leader Syndra.
Syndra has a very big problem, that is, the AOE damage is not enough. Her ultimate skill lasts only one second and can be blocked by skills like Yasuo's Wind Wall and Braum's Ice Shield.
The longer you delay, the smaller the effect will be.
In this version where censer monsters are rampant and AD is the main means of output, the win rate has dropped to 43%. Even considering the online strength, it can only be regarded as a bottom T2 hero.
But with EDG's ability to end the game, Syndra's actual significance can be raised to a higher level and enter the T1 ranks.
There is no problem in taking it first.
"LGD got Thresh and Fiora!"
Ze Yuan read out the name: "Thresh is Hirano Aya's signature hero in the S5 season. He is also the hero with the highest win rate for Meiko, and is the focus of competition."
"Jimoo earned the title of Sword Master during the Spring Split."
"Hey, did you notice that the hero pools of both sides seem to overlap a bit..."
The sentence was not finished.
The hero pool overlaps, which means that there is a high probability that heroes will be swapped in the future.
only.
"Indeed." Jijie nodded: "EDG's second and third floors are Varus and Janna, so both the first and the backhand are guaranteed."
Varus's ultimate can be used to start a team fight.
The Wind Girl's protective ability is extremely outstanding.
Once these two heroes come out, the top laner and jungler will have extremely high freedom, and they will not have to make an unsuitable choice just to supplement a certain function.
Next.
LGD locks on the Demacia Prince.
Enter the second round of Ban/Pick.
EDG continued to target the bottom lane, pinning down Tristana and Caitlyn, who have extremely strong combat effectiveness in the late game of the current version.
LGD banned two top laners, Shen and Noxus.
On the fourth floor, LGD makes a choice.
What was revealed was... the Night Hunter, Vayne!
As soon as the hero appeared, cheers broke out at the scene.
The strongest AD is not Vayne.
The most suitable AD for this version is not Vayne.
The most popular AD should not be Vayne.
But everyone has to admit that the hero Vayne has a unique charm.
Especially when facing adversity, as long as Vayne is there, people will definitely have expectations for a comeback.
"Vayne?"
Ah Shui was not very satisfied: "This guy is a bit crazy to choose Vayne in front of his buddies."
"Then you beat him to death." Xing Dao teased.
"It's no problem to suppress it, but it's still too difficult to blow it up..." Ah Shui originally had a stern look on his face, but when he said this, he softened a little for some reason.
"It's okay, I'll go for level 2 to catch him." The factory manager designated a hero: "Bring me an excavator."
"Okay!" A Shui immediately found the corresponding avatar.
"What to use in the top lane? Kled?" Meiko asked.
"Hmm... Kled isn't very comfortable against Fiora." Xing Dao thought for a moment and said, "Give me a Riven."
