Chapter 393: Give Him a Trick in His Own Way
"Congratulations to EDG for winning the first game!"
"SKT's lineup selection was actually very good, and they even caught JackeyLove's first blood at the beginning."
Miller recalled the battle: "But General changed the situation with two solo kills and a coordinated tower dive. With his unparalleled dominance in team battles, he concluded the game before SKT's power period arrived."
"The impact of swiping three earth dragons in a row is also very large."
Ze Yuan added: "Three Earth Dragons doubled the speed of destroying towers, and SKT's own lack of ability to clear minions allowed EDG to easily push up the high ground without fighting the Baron."
"If we hadn't been killing the Earth Dragon, the outcome of the game would never have been so clear."
"It's the right time, right place, and right people!" Wawa just praised: "With EDG's strength, as long as there is an opportunity, they can basically seize it."
The audience at the scene and those watching the live broadcast using various devices cheered at the first moment.
When I saw the lineup.
Many people secretly broke into a cold sweat for EDG.
Because Marin's last pick, Fiora, not only countered Kled at the mechanism level, but also put EDG into a situation where they would most likely lose if they didn't win quickly.
In addition, A Shui was caught with first blood.
The situation was once very unfavorable for EDG.
Fortunately, Xing Dao stood up as always, destroyed SKT's defense with unstoppable continuous charges, and successfully led the team to win the game.
Player seats.
The EDG players took off their heavy headsets.
Step out of the soundproof booth.
Follow the dedicated passage back to the backstage.
It's strange to say.
Even though we were competing in a soundproof booth, we still had to wear special noise-isolating headphones. It felt like I was taking off my pants to play bbox.
“Great fight!”
When Abu saw the team members pushing the door back, he led the applause.
What EDG team is best at this season is the four-one split push.
Moreover, peak Marin is known as the king of team battles.
Strong in team battle performance and overall view.
Rather than a player known for his laning ability.
When he was on the LGD team, there were several times when he pushed the line to the second tower without vision, was caught and killed, and became a breakthrough point.
So much so that everyone from EDG's manager Abu to all the analysts did not expect SKT to come up with a lineup that used split pushing as the main means of winning, and it was even more effective.
It's no exaggeration to say.
This Ban/Pick was completely tricked by SKT.
The reason for the victory was that the players fought back relying on their personal abilities.
Just for this reason.
It would not be excessive for the logistics team to give a kowtow to the main players.
certainly.
In addition to paying attention to split pushing.
There are still areas in the overall strategy that need adjustment.
"Bang's strength has not declined too much. He is not as vulnerable as imagined."
"So we don't need to push the rhythm quickly from the bottom lane next time. We can just pick teamfight heroes and develop normally."
Abu waited for the team members to sit down, then opened the small leather-bound notebook and said, "It's true that Fizz is not that easy to deal with. If it's put in the second round, we can consider banning him... Xing Dao, what do you think?"
Xing Dao seemed to want to say something.
Abu asked quickly.
"If it's put in the second round...we'll take the fourth floor first. If the lineup is right, I can use it." Xing Dao proposed an idea.
"You take it? What?" Abu didn't react at first.
"Catch the little fishman!" Xing Dao spread his hands.
"Ah?!" Abu was obviously stunned: "I've never seen you use Fizz before."
"I used it when I was playing on a small account." Xing Dao said here, and added: "But I am sure, very sure."
"Hmm..." Abu couldn't help but feel distressed.
If it is normal times.
Even the LPL finals.
If Xing Dao said he wanted to use Fizz, Abudu would definitely agree.
But this one is the world finals.
A hero who has never been trained, has never practiced, and has only played a few Rank games with a small account. The key is that he has great limitations and is not very compatible with various systems...
"It should be fine."
Coach Maokai agreed: "We can use a lineup suitable for 4v4, and we can also cheat in the middle lane. This lineup will definitely have an advantage."
Starting from last year.
Maokai strongly pushed Xing Dao to play.
Has a high level of trust.
What’s more important is.
Maokai lost confidence in continuing to compete with KkOma after being tricked by SKT in the last game.
Since the star players in the team have to choose their heroes independently.
Even if we lose next time, coach Maokai will not take the blame.
Not supporting is a problem.
"Okay." Abu thought about it seriously and gritted his teeth : "If the situation is right, then release Fizz. When doing the draft, make a plan and release other positions first."
Trying to trick Faker into targeting Fizz.
Naturally, we can’t let SKT’s top three pick the middle laner.
EDG is misleading on the fourth floor.
The fifth floor can then use the Counter position to target the heroes selected by Faker to maximize the benefits.
At the same time, be careful not to let Marin get a top lane position that is particularly good at dealing with Fizz.
"Ban Tristana. SKT shouldn't dare to release Xayah and Rakan."
"You can leave the jungle to Peanut."
"Wolf uses Lulu the most, and can force a move with Karma. They must be afraid of being pushed too fast."
"There's still the road ahead..."
"How about we try this..."
“…”
After some discussion.
In just ten minutes, the EDG team discussed and came up with a general BP idea.
Although it is relatively rough.
If you look closely, you can see some flaws.
But during the Ban/Pick phase, you only have less than thirty seconds to think about each choice.
Even if SKT realized something was wrong, it was too late to think about it.
There is a high probability that you will fall into a pit.
…
"Dear summoners, welcome back to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship!"
"EDG just defeated SKT with an unstoppable charge system and took the lead. The current score is 1-0."
"The second match is about to begin!"
Wawa, Miller and Ze Yuan appeared in the commentary booth again.
"From the game just now, we can see that in the top position, General performed better than Marin."
"As for the jungler, Zzai Zhang was very calm, but Peanut had a bit of a hard time finding his rhythm after he had an idea."
"In the mid lane, Faker did overpower Scout; but Scout held his ground and did not become a breakthrough point for EDG. Instead, he had a pretty good performance in teamfights."
Miller introduced them one by one.
As for the bottom lane...
There is no need to mention it.
The Censer Alliance is all about development and teamwork, and there is rarely a qualitative gap.
In the last game, excluding the factor of teammates, the confrontation between A Shui + Meiko and Bang + Wolf still ended in a draw.
"SKT actively switched to the blue side, and EDG will have a Counter Pick position."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be given to the top laner."
"This way, Marin's situation will be much worse than the last game."
Ze Yuan said according to common sense: "However, SKT can get a commonly used hero for Peanut."
"Before the finals, from the group stage to the quarterfinals and semifinals, Peanut only used three junglers: Jarvan, Gragas, and Sejuani. They were easily banned on the red side."
"If we switch to the blue side, we can definitely get it."
"Unless EDG doesn't care about skateboarding shoes, this is absolutely unrealistic."
"That's right!" Wawa agreed: "SKT banned Galio on the first floor first, and still didn't give EDG a chance to charge. Let's see how EDG will deal with it next!"
