Chapter 592: The Chatty Darkin vs. the Illegal Car Driver!
"Hello everyone, welcome back!"
"This is the finals of the 2018 Intercontinental Series - Asia Showdown!"
Wawa, Miller and Ze Yuan appeared again.
It took more than two minutes to read out the sponsor advertisements and partner media.
Wawa got to the point: "Here I'll report the situation to the viewers who didn't watch the live broadcast. In the first three games, our LPL division won two and lost one, and took the match point first."
"In the fourth match, the two teams that will be fighting are LCK's third place KT and our LPL champion... EDG!"
"EDG is wearing a resurrection armor that RW just got back." Miller praised the unexpected third place in the region: "The final is a BO5 format. Even if EDG loses this game, they still have another chance next time. So, EDG is not only ahead in strength, but also has an absolute psychological advantage."
"What should I say at this time..." Ze Yuan played his own joke.
"Just don't say anything!" Wawa hurriedly stopped him, "Let's take a look at the pre-match data. KT currently has a 100% win rate, second in kills per game, second in tower demolition per game, and second in economy per minute. As a team that doesn't like to fight in the early stages, KT's data is enough to show their dominance in the mid-to-late stages."
"EDG also has a 100% win rate, ranks first in kills per game, first in tower demolition per game, and first in economy per minute, just one step ahead of KT in all of them."
The second of three items of data versus the first of three items of data.
Such an arrangement, combined with RNG's victory over SKT in the first game, undoubtedly has a strong suggestive effect.
"EDG's economic per point is very exaggerated."
Ze Yuan became serious and pointed out a key detail: "The average time for KT to finish the game is 33 minutes and 18 seconds. The longer the game is delayed, the faster they can make money - the C position can clear the troops in a few strokes without missing any attacks, and can also plunder the opponent's jungle resources."
"EDG's average time to finish the game was 22 minutes and 21 seconds, which was nearly 11 minutes faster and they were still ahead in terms of average economic points, which shows that the advantage they established in the early stage was very large ."
"Yes, one more thing to note is that there is no money in the first minute and a half," Miller added.
Before wild monsters refresh and minions come into contact, there is no way to obtain money except jumping money and level one conflict.
But it also needs to be taken into account in the average.
The longer this time is, the lower the average value will be.
In other words, EDG's lead over KT, which is first in average points, is more valuable than it seems at first glance.
"In terms of team style, EDG is a fast attack with the top lane as the core."
Miller continued: "KT is developing in three lanes, and the jungler Score's style is also very calm. He has always been called the 'rookie killer' in the LCK region... He is very similar to Zhazhuang."
"The Korean factory manager." Zeyuan said Score's nickname.
Some viewers may not be familiar with the ID Score.
Compared to the star players who shined brightly when they first debuted and were admired by everyone during their peak period, Score, a veteran who entered the professional league in 2012, has always been almost unknown.
The title of 'Immortal AD' is more of a mockery than a compliment.
Because Score has always been accused of being too concerned about KDA and not daring to output.
From AD to jungle, Score's exposure rate is far from comparable to that of the player named B who kicked over the water dispenser, the talented newcomer Peanut, and An Bixin who can fly in one second and five times.
Until today.
The KT team formed a galaxy battleship and became the last hope of the LCK region in the Asian Challenge Tournament, making Score feel that the passion from six years ago has returned to him.
The other side.
The factory director's eyes were also extremely firm.
Although the status has been declining since a year ago.
The reputations that he was proud of, such as Dark Kai and the top three in Rank, have gradually faded away. In the spring of this year, he even thought about retiring while the going was good and even registered as a coach.
But as long as EDG still needs it, the factory manager must do his best to clear the obstacles in front of the team.
Even if I can't complete the 'Clearlove Run' achievement, or even lose F6, it doesn't matter.
"Okay, on to the Ban/Pick phase!"
"Let me tell you here that LPL has a higher ranking in the group stage and has the priority to choose sides in games 1, 3, and 5, while LCK has the priority to choose sides in games 2 and 4, so KT took the initiative to choose the red side in this game."
"In this way, they can leave a counter position for Smeb in the top lane on the fifth floor, ensuring the safety of the top lane to the greatest extent."
Wawa began to introduce: "The first round of EDG's bans on the blue side are Taliyah, Nightmare, and Crow. Two half-map support heroes plus a mid laner who can use W to constantly detect the jungle area is a relatively conventional way of dealing with the situation."
"KT banned Shen, Pike, and Irelia, mainly targeting the top lane."
"EDG first floor... immediately picked Aatrox?!"
A hero appears.
It immediately caused a buzz of discussion.
"Aatrox has appeared twice in this Asia Challenge." Miller reported the historical records: "BDD played a 4-1-2 record with a single Aatrox, but that game was against FW, so it is not particularly representative."
"FW mid laner Maple also used Aatrox in one match, and the record was 0-3-1."
"From a data perspective, Aatrox isn't a strong hero, but since EDG chose him, I don't think it's easy to say."
"KT chose Sejuani + Shen." Ze Yuan looked down: "If Shen was the top laner, it would have been a little early. I think KT's Shen should have a sense of vacillation. Shen has also been a support before... After eight minutes, when the bottom lane reaches level 6, Shen's ultimate can reversely support the top laner."
"If Shen is easy to play in the top lane, go there. If not, go to support." Wawa knows this: "EDG got Varus + Morgana on the second and third floors, so they will play the bottom lane combination first."
Varus is the strongest laning AD among the special effect ADs.
Morgana can provide a layer of control-free shield as protection, and the W skill can also help clear soldiers.
Once these two heroes are chosen, there is no need to worry about the bottom lane.
By the way, Morgana can also be played in the middle lane.
Go to KT selection.
The Ice Bird appeared on the third floor again!
"The hero Anivia should be developed by LCK to target LPL. It has strong wave-clearing ability, and is also good at counter-control and dividing the battlefield. Even if two or three teammates die, Anivia may still be able to defend the highland tower while she is alive." Miller made an analysis.
In the second round, EDG banned Ashe and Malphite.
The same goes for Ashe and Crow, and Iron Man is used to prevent ghost things from appearing.
KT banned Ornn and Yasuo.
On the fourth floor, KT chose first and took out Eye of the Void, Vel'Koz!
"oh?"
"Big-eyed monster?"
Ze Yuan read out the common names of the heroes: "There's Afrost, and here comes a Big Eyed Monster. We should assign one to go mid and one to go bottom. KT's lineup has plenty of AOE in teamfights. EDG must be careful not to stand together."
"EDG's last two picks are Gragas and... Evil Mage?"
"I haven't seen this mid laner in a long, long time!"
I used the word 'for a long time' three times in a row to describe it.
Because Fabregas is really a big dark horse in the arena.
The last time he appeared in the LPL region was on July 22, 2016, when the Spring Emperor had a terrible record of 1-4-6.
Throughout the entire S6 season, Fabregas' win rate was 0%.
Unexpectedly, EDG took it out in the match against KT in the Asian Challenge.
"The combination of Gragas and LeBron James seems pretty good."
Wawa found the advantages: "Ali Faber uses E, Gragas uses R, as long as the opponent doesn't use flash, they will definitely be controlled. Morgana can also go in and follow up with a big move, the control chain is very sufficient."
"In this case, Aatrox will have to go to the top lane." Ze Yuan pointed out: "The revised Aatrox is actually not very suitable for the top lane. The low win rate is a bit exaggerated, and Smeb has the right to counter. Although Smeb's performance so far in the spring season is a bit worse than before, I think General will still suffer if he chooses a hero he is good at to fight Aatrox!"
As soon as the words fell.
The KT team, the last pick of the game, appeared in the center of the big screen.
This hero is a black car driver...ahem .
It’s the tall, rich and handsome guy from Piltover—Jace!
