Chapter 589: Strength Analysis and Deployment
Facing the confident LCK region.
The top four coaches of the LPL Spring Split gathered together to discuss a strategy for deployment.
——RNG goes on stage first, then IG, then RW, and EDG goes on stage last.
The reason for this arrangement is simple.
Before The shy returned from injury, RNG was definitely the strongest team in the LPL region except for EDG.
They are capable of fighting against any LCK team.
According to common sense, the probability of a head-to-head match between the spring champions and runners-up KZ and AFs is not high, which can just make up for the shortcomings of RNG's slightly insufficient individual abilities in the top lane.
Whether he faces SKT's new top laner Thal or Smeb, who has declined seriously this year, Letme will not be under too much pressure, and may even be able to suppress his opponent.
If RNG wins, LPL region’s victory is almost certain.
RNG lost, but it wasn't a big problem.
Although IG and RW are slightly weaker, they are no pushovers. If any one of them can defeat the other team, EDG, which is in the middle, can turn the situation around in the fourth and fifth games.
What if we lose all three games... Is there such a thing?
joke!
"Since everyone wants to listen, let me analyze tomorrow's situation for everyone."
Miller pushed up his glasses during the live broadcast: "Based on the three days of games, I also made a simple summary. Among the four teams of LCK champion, runner-up, third place and fourth place, the strongest one is undoubtedly the champion KZ... Don't say how badly KZ was beaten by EDG, that's because Khan was completely countered by General, and the factory manager is also familiar with the fan Xiaohuasheng. It's not easy for other teams to beat KZ."
"Of course, they also have shortcomings, and that is the individual strength of the two Xuanming Elders in the bottom lane."
"The veterans who have been here from S2 to S3 have generally shown a significant decline, so when playing against KZ, it is a good idea to directly attack the bottom lane, but it is only a 50-50 chance."
RNG and RW both have the ability to target the bottom lane.
The two combinations of UZI + Xiao Ming and Iboy + Killua will easily gain the upper hand against Xuanming Erlao.
With the help of Mala Xiangguo's fasting strategy and Doinb's best forced ganking, it is not impossible to create a clear rhythm in the bottom lane.
As for the order...
In the game where you decide to let the team go, picking a pure useless guy in the top lane will not have a particularly big impact even if the lane is blown up.
Because Khan is only good at laning.
Not good at team play.
However, in this fast-paced version, split pushing does not play a sufficient role.
IG's Sima Laozei + Baolan are relatively inferior, and the team's style is to let the bottom lane go. The chances of winning against KZ are not high, unless...
That’s the summary.
Miller said the more common playing style recently: "Unless you use the line-changing tactics."
"The weakness of LCK runner-up AFs is similar to that of KZ, which is also weak in the bottom lane. A team with a weak bottom lane like this that mainly relies on the top laner to carry will not be able to deal with the lane-swapping strategy..."
"Is EDG afraid of lane switching?"
“EDG is different.”
"You can say JackeyLove is unstable, but you can't say JackeyLove is weak."
" It is very risky to treat JackeyLove as the core carry point, but it is feasible to treat JackeyLove as a secondary player, let him support the situation, fight and harvest, including extreme operations to recover the disadvantage."
No matter what response the top laner makes.
Even if the Captain, like Xing Dao did before, brought Dark Harvest + Punishment and openly went to invade, his development was far less than that of normally eating up the entire line of soldiers.
But.
Even if Xing Dao's economy is not good enough and he is temporarily not suitable to join the team, A Shui can step up first and create enough development space for Xing Dao.
Not to mention that with the rich experience of the factory manager, he can lead Xing Dao to destroy the opponent's jungle area.
Therefore, EDG is the team that is least afraid of lane changes among the teams with top laners as the core. As long as they are prepared in advance, they will not necessarily suffer losses when facing the lane change tactics.
"KT is mainly experienced. All five positions are originally top-level veterans. Their mid-to-late-game teamfighting ability is second to none in the LCK. It is best to win or lose with them online and accumulate a big enough advantage before fighting."
"SKT... I don't need to say much. On paper, SKT is definitely the weakest, but as long as that man is around, we must be careful."
Speaking of this.
Miller wisely kept silent: "As for how the LCK will arrange the troops and what order the LPL will use, I can't guess. Both sides must have their own considerations."
There's not much benefit in guessing this kind of thing .
If you guess wrong you will be criticized.
Even if the region wins, the commentators won't get much credit.
If a division loses, the commentators who have nothing better to do than analyze and rank the teams can easily be labeled as the 'Wang Jingwei of eSports'.
The best option is to avoid it.
Wait until the game is over before talking about it.
…
July 8th, which is this weekend.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
The opening ceremony of the Asian Championship final was held in Dalian Central Gymnasium.
From the director's perspective, we can see that compared to the first three days when the number of people in the venue was only about half of the previous three days, today the venue was packed, and almost every audience member was waving a cheering stick in their hands.
There were huge signboards and banners everywhere, as well as the EDG team flag that was several meters long and wide waving vigorously.
The pure blue spotlights lit up, and together with the color blocks divided according to the golden ratio on the big screen, they formed a background picture with a strong sense of technology.
When the theme song played.
In the center of the giant display suspended above the stage, wonderful scenes from this Asian Championship were played.
There are extreme operations of UZI Kaisa.
There is Sima the old thief with a big mouth who walks around and scolds people.
With Faker Galio's REW entering the field for continuous control.
There is a single-line clearance of Kiin.
What can't be ignored is IG's comeback from a desperate situation, and Xing Dao's fake 1v3 when facing Khan's backhand and taking out Jayce...
The carefully prepared scene is finished.
The DJ-style theme song just hit the last note.
"Dear summoners at the scene and in front of the screen, welcome to the finals of the League of Legends Intercontinental Series - Asia Showdown!"
"I'm Ren Dong."
Ren Dong, dressed in a neat suit, walked onto the stage from the central prismatic passage: "In yesterday's semi-final, the LCK region defeated the LMS region with a score of 3-0 and got a ticket to the final."
"Today, the LPL region will challenge the LCK region here to compete for the strongest in Asia."
"Behind me, the two major divisions and eight teams are ready. Now, please give your enthusiastic cheers and let us welcome the teams onto the stage!"
It was different from the representatives’ performance on the first day.
This time, all members of the eight teams walked to the front of the stage one by one according to the host's introduction.
After greeting the audience, we enter the preparation phase.
The big screen then played the pre-recorded dialogue segment.
The first to appear was the LCK region represented by Faker, Deft, Kiin, and PraY: "We have gone through the elimination rounds to get to this day. We will definitely prove the strength of the LCK region. The goal of the LCK...is always to be the first."
The camera turned and Xing Dao, UZI, Doinb, and Rookie appeared: "Since the LPL region has entered the finals as the first in the group, then we will definitely win!"
