Chapter 353: When truth becomes false... false becomes true?
Except for the clash of the two No. 1 seeds in the region, EDG and LZ.
The most anticipated quarterfinal match is between WE and SSG.
EDG has a record of 3-0.
LPL audiences also have high expectations for WE.
Even with the title of the Big Three, there is also the saying 'the upper one, the lower two', WE is at least a team that can compete with EDG and is not a team that is completely unable to resist.
EDG can crush LZ.
WE should have a chance against SSG, the third seed of LCK.
However.
Such thoughts.
After four games, it became a complete joke.
It seems that there is not much gap between WE and SSG. They have both offense and defense, and there are no serious mistakes in each position. It feels like there are opportunities at any time.
So much so that many viewers felt that WE’s loss was unfair.
If we try again, the result might be different.
Actually…
"The gap between WE and SSG...is a bit obvious."
Abu watched the game video repeatedly.
Every time after reading it, his expression became much more solemn than the last time.
The Korean team in BO5 and the Korean team in BO1 are two different modes. This statement has been said for many seasons, but it has a new manifestation in SSG.
When facing RNG in the group stage, SSG clearly didn't have their real stuff.
It was not until the quarterfinals against WE that their terrifying vision arrangement was revealed.
A game lasts about thirty-five minutes.
The economic cost of SSG to buy the ward is...
3400-3700!
Excluding the two minutes before the soldiers come into contact, you need to invest more than one hundred gold coins in vision every minute!
Players who are not familiar with professional leagues may be confused about this.
What kind of strategy is buying wards?
Isn't it just buying wards? Let's buy them together.
If the opponent places a ward, you should place one too. If the opponent places a ward, you should place a ward too. Anyway, there are only a few commonly used ward positions, and the resources you are fighting for are fixed. How can you do anything else?
Indeed, not.
Things like vision, even if all regions are added together and accumulated throughout the year, may not be able to develop one or two special points.
Moreover, once used, everyone will remember it.
It's normal to get an advantage once.
If you want to take advantage a second time, you have to wait for a fool to hit a tree.
but.
The rhythm is different if you buy eyes or not.
Buying eyes will consume money, and consuming money will slow down the formation speed, which will in turn affect a series of subsequent events such as laning and team battles.
Anyone who plays games frequently and doesn't like to buy wards can start a game and force themselves to bring two real wards home every time and insert them into key positions, and then they will know how uncomfortable it is.
For example.
Just like when buying your own merchandise rental service, calm down every few minutes.
It's not surprising that most of the level has been lost.
The key is.
SSG's tactic of using vision to gain the upper hand had the least effect on RNG.
The reason is simple.
——RNG’s vision has always been poor.
All depends on recklessness.
MLXG is a reckless man who dares to take on opponents regardless of advantages, balance or disadvantages.
Letme is a reckless man whose health has dropped below three digits and who has no skills, yet he still forces himself to move forward, helping his teammates take one more damage.
When there is no chance to fight, UZI is the reckless man who stands at the front line and uses his body to start a fight.
Xiaohu and Xiaoming are relatively worse.
But as long as others take action, these two will follow without hesitation.
Vision?
Just attack the person you see, no need for vision!
WE relied on Condi to grab the dragon and slow down the tempo, and relied on brother-in-law Mystic to fight in late-stage team battles, but was firmly restrained by SSG.
It looks like a back and forth fight.
In fact, the rhythm is completely under the control of SSG.
It is a classic way to cut meat with a blunt knife.
EDG is more comfortable facing SSG than WE, but more uncomfortable than RNG, somewhere in between the two.
Because EDG's playing style is not just reckless.
It also takes into account vision and operations, which are inherent to old and strong teams.
Face SSG.
About half of the aspects will be suppressed.
certainly.
As the defending champion and winner of all the honors available in 2017, EDG is definitely not afraid of the third seed from the LCK region.
This is true even if you discover some difficult aspects that are unlikely to be resolved .
We just need to study it carefully and think about the next countermeasures.
This is very important.
Taking the 3-0 sweep of LZ team as an example, EDG is not without any chance of losing.
Instead, they relied on the pre-match layout to break the mentality of the LZ players, achieved twice the result with half the effort, and increased their chances of winning to the limit.
"To be honest, there is really no strategy that can be used in this kind of vision battle."
BP coach Maokai had no idea what to do: "If there are wards, there are wards. If there are no wards, there are no wards. What else can we do now that all the wards on our bodies have been installed?"
"We can't just suffer the loss in vain." Abu was unwilling.
"Call the team members over and hold a meeting to discuss this?" Maokai suggested.
"Go ahead." Abu nodded.
Waited for more than twenty minutes.
All EDG players finished their current rank.
Enter the meeting room again.
Watch the clips of several key parts and the statistics.
The mentality of not taking SSG seriously and even mocking WE for being a bit bad has completely changed.
"It's really hard to do..."
The factory manager held his chin.
He glanced to the side.
"Don't look at me, Brother Changzi, you know me well!" Xing Dao said with a look of despair: "It's not that I don't want to buy wards, it's that buying wards will affect the rhythm of equipment production. If the rhythm of equipment production is affected, the snowball can't be rolled. If the snowball can't be rolled, won't the pressure be on the whole team?"
"That's true." The factory manager agreed. "But look at this wave. Five SSG players brought ten true wards. If any of us don't bring one, we will definitely have fewer than them."
"I can bring it, but I'm afraid there's not enough space." Scout scratched his head: "I really can't learn this way of selling equipment with an open mind."
A small item worth a few hundred gold coins, not important?
A bottle of reusable potion, not important?
joke!
How many times have we been just one step away from scoring a kill?
How many games have been reversed by a hair's breadth?
Without a lot of practice, forcing yourself to imitate the behavior of SSG in actual combat will only result in you drawing a tiger but end up drawing a dog instead.
"I'm not asking you to learn this. You can't learn this."
Abu proposed an idea: "I want you to think of a way to find a new ward position so that SSG can't clear it."
"That's impossible!" Meiko thought it was unrealistic: "Any normal ward position will definitely be removed. If you want to avoid being removed, you have to be stuck in a corner, then you can't see anything."
"I have studied the new ward position. I can place a ward in the small pit in the river at the bottom lane, in the triangle grass." Xing Dao tested one out.
"Teach me later." Meiko asked quickly.
"No problem." Xing Dao agreed readily.
“Is there really no way to compete with SSG for vision? Will we be at a disadvantage in the mid-game?” Abu still refused to give up.
"Well...it's not that I don't have one." Xing Dao really had an idea this time.
"What is the solution?"
“Is it fake?”
"You have a routine for this?"
The other EDG members couldn't believe it.
"Not absolute, not certain, just an idea."
Xing Dao looked at his teammates' gradually becoming indifferent expressions and said, "When you enter the grass, if you destroy a real ward, will you scan to find a fake ward?"
