Chapter 339 Dare to take it, or not? !
The picture on the big screen froze.
The expressions of the LZ members were also frozen .
To be more specific...
It's numb.
Totally anesthetized.
When the lineup was first selected, the five members of the LZ team were full of confidence.
Khan was given a hero who could suppress Shen in the early game. After the lower jungle area was invaded, the jungler Gragas used a quick 3-gank strategy that no one could have imagined.
result.
It was discovered that Shen had Ignite and Crocodile couldn't suppress the laning phase.
Wine Barrel went up to catch someone, but was tricked.
Even now, the LZ team members haven't figured out where the first wave of Shen is hiding.
Next, Kha n added a Doran's Shield to ensure his position, but was hammered by three long swords, which was tantamount to a death sentence.
The most critical aspect is not whether you win or lose the game.
It's the mentality.
The LZ team, which swept the LCK league and blocked SKT's counterattack with a record of 3-1, has been praised by public opinion.
Khan, who played in the top lane position, received extremely high praise.
Not only was he ranked number one in LCK, surpassing Semb, CuVee, Marin and others, he was also known as the 'last hope of LCK'.
He seemed to be standing in the position of a savior.
The first time I faced Xing Dao on the world stage.
Being touched lightly.
It broke into pieces...
Without clicking on it, Khan knows what language will appear in the barrage and Dcinside forum.
One hundred percent of the attacks are carried out with direct relatives as the radius and around the family tree.
That's still mild.
If similar situations occur again in the next game, some extreme, radical and irrational behaviors are not impossible.
LZ coach Kim Jeong-soo, who was sitting in the lounge, also had his brows furrowed into a "川" shape.
Last year at Samsung, I did not deliver a satisfactory answer.
This year I switched to LZ.
I originally thought that I had the ability to compete with EDG, and even defeat them.
When the fight started, we realized that the situation was not as simple as we had imagined.
"Cheer up and don't be affected by winning or losing."
"The first game is just a test."
When Jin Jingzhu saw his teammates push the door back, he immediately showed his traditional art of changing his face: "The reason we lost the game is that we underestimated General's ability and used a lineup that left no room for maneuver."
“Just make a little change.”
"In the second game, we were on the blue side and had a big advantage when we did the draft."
The previous part is nonsense.
Kim Jeong-soo herself didn't believe it.
The last sentence is the most important.
The red team has to pay a fixed ban position for Skate, and either release Xayah and Rakan or pick the one that the opponent doesn't want, and can't get the hero that best fits the system.
Compared to the blue side, it is much more uncomfortable.
After the group stage, the blue team's winning rate was a full fifteen percentage points higher than the red team, which is a clear proof.
"That's right. As long as it drags on to BO5, EDG will definitely be in chaos."
Support player GorillA vowed: "LPL teams are very lacking in experience in playing BO5 in the World Championship. We will seize the second and fourth games and strive for the third game, and we will definitely be able to defeat them."
Although GorillA was shut out by OMG and EDG in the S4 and S6 seasons respectively.
But thanks to the record of competing with SKT in the finals in S5.
What he said was still very convincing.
In addition, the LZ midfielder and jungler are all young people, and they are easily excited. After a few words of encouragement, their mental state will be lifted as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Relatively speaking.
The atmosphere in the EDG lounge was much more serious.
No chicken broth.
There is no mental nitrogen pump.
Only repeated research and discussion.
How to place Jayce in a reasonable way, and how to make arrangements in the Ban/Pick stage to make the LZ team fall into a trap, are all things that require brainstorming, multiple simulations, and demonstrations.
The break is over.
Both sides returned to the main stage.
Appear in the spotlight with a new mental outlook.
"Dear summoners, welcome back!"
Wawa, Miller and Smile qualified again.
After saying hello.
Wawa started by introducing: "This is the 2017 League of Legends World Championship, the quarter-finals, the two participating teams are EDG and LZ, the two No. 1 seeds in the region."
"In the first game, EDG cleared the top lane and easily destroyed LZ's resistance."
"The second match is now underway!"
"There are no personnel changes on either side." Miller said: "As long as the game is won, the lineup and player list will not be easily changed unless problems are found and adjustments are needed."
"It's LZ's turn to choose sides in this game, so LZ will also take the initiative to switch to the blue side."
"I banned Shen right away!"
"I'm thinking about a problem." Wawa suddenly said.
"What's the problem?" Miller asked curiously.
"Think about it, General spent half a season training on Shen, and the other half training on Fiora." Wawa pointed out an interesting aspect: "Shen is so effective, what about Fiora?"
"Uh...really." Miller rolled his eyes: "This should be a problem that the LZ team should worry about."
"Compared to Shen, Fiora is even less suitable for this version, so it's unlikely that she'll be picked." Smile expressed his opinion: "Professional players actually prioritize teamfights, not laning."
"However, it's hard to say how General will choose the hero."
"As long as you can clear the top lane, the difference between the hero's positioning is not that big."
While talking.
The first round of bans is coming to an end.
In LZ's first three picks, he blocked Shen, Kled, and Lulu.
EDG followed the normal process and first banned Skateboards and then banned Galio.
The last ban position, I considered it for a long time.
It remains unresolved.
Seems to be hesitating about which hero to give.
"There are Xayah, Wind Girl, and Jayce outside."
"It's definitely not possible to ban Xia Luo."
Miller made an analysis: "If you ban the wind girl, Jayce will be released. Although General can use Jayce, he is not willing to use it."
"If Jayce is banned, LZ will grab Xayah first, and EDG will have to pick Rakan."
"The Wind Girl is gone again..."
“It’s a thorny issue.”
So far, Janna’s win rate is 75%, and there is no dispute that she is the strongest support.
If EDG releases the Janna.
He was forced to use a Luo who was neither soft nor hard, who was neither upright nor strong during the laning phase.
The bottom lane can only be used as a pendant.
Basically, there is no qualification to affect the previous situation.
As the countdown was about to end, EDG finally made a decision.
Give the last ban spot to the Wind Girl.
"We need to ban the wind girl."
Wawa looked at the information on the screen and explained: "Khan's Jayce is indeed strong, but this hero has great risks. When facing General, Khan may not choose him."
"Janna can stably limit EDG's bottom lane push, and has very strong protection capabilities in teamfights."
"Combined with the passive group acceleration, it will make EDG very uncomfortable."
"Now, the problem comes to LZ." Miller said provocatively: "Jayce is released, let's see if LZ dares to take it!"
"I just want to ask."
" Dare to take it , or dare not take it?!"
