Chapter 710: GEN, we can’t bear to part with you!
The fifth game was a life-and-death battle between C9 and MAD.
C9 wants to protect the glory of the light of North America.
MAD will want to build on their double win over Samsung, advance from the group stage, and make the best impression on their new boss.
Both teams tried their best.
The fight was a back-and-forth one.
C9 mid laner Jian Huang completed a solo kill in the middle lane, leading with more than twenty last hits, helping the team gain a certain degree of advantage.
But MAD's EZ in the bottom lane stood up and used the peak combat power provided by the Mana Cut and Three Phases to hold the situation back.
Developed to a three-piece suit for all staff.
There is a chance that the whole team will be wiped out in one wave.
Therefore, both sides handled the situation very cautiously. When they saw the situation was not good, they turned around and ran away. Even if they lost the team battle, they only lost one or two heads.
This bladder game lasted for a full forty-seven minutes.
final.
Because EZ was a bit weak in the late game and couldn't provide the same output as an AD with god-level critical hits, MAD lost to C9 and became the second team to be eliminated after Samsung.
"Both sides were very serious in this game."
Miller commented: "Although MAD lost in the end due to insufficient damage, this blame cannot be put on EZ, because without EZ, MAD would not have been able to drag on for so long."
"I can only say that C9's overall skills are superior." Rita found a suitable statement.
"Yes." Ze Yuan was a little depressed: " We can only bid farewell to the eliminated teams with tears. I hope they can continue to work hard and achieve good results next year."
"What a tearful farewell to the eliminated team."
"I suspect Guan Zeyuan was talking about Samsung."
"No doubt, it's Samsung."
"It's so funny."
"GEN's elimination was a 100-point show, and the dog-guarding show was a 101-point show."
“…”
The emotions in the comments are completely opposite.
When GEN was double-killed by MAD, Ze Yuan's voice was filled with tears, and the director even captured a close-up of his face in agony, which maximized the program effect.
The most interesting thing is.
GE N, which has been confirmed to be eliminated, cannot leave yet and must play the final game with EDG.
It's more than torture.
It's simply... torture!
9pm, sharp.
After hearing the introduction, the GEN members slowly moved to the right side of the stage with heavy steps, waved weakly to the audience, and sat on the gaming chairs in an almost 'paralyzed' posture.
The EDG players were in high spirits, and their happy smiles seemed to carry some malicious intent.
soon.
The commentators and the audience discovered that this group of EDG beasts really had bad intentions!
——After two rounds of Ban/Pick, Samsung on the red side picked out Sion on top, Xin Zhao on jungle, Syndra on mid, and Lucian + Nami on bottom, a lineup that was completely opposite to the team's style.
It's clear that he wants a quick victory.
Either you kill EDG recklessly, or you get killed by EDG recklessly.
It’s not really a negative game.
After all, the strength shown by GEN is far behind EDG, and they will be eliminated no matter how they play, so it is reasonable for them to take an unconventional approach and play for their lives.
Let’s look at EDG.
The jungler is Zweizhang’s Sejuani, the mid laner is Tsar, and the bottom lane has Tristana + Thresh.
On the road…
Damn it, it’s a dog’s head!
"What does this lineup mean?"
Ze Yuan was stunned: "The top lane is developing, the middle lane is developing, and the bottom lane is also developing. The two C positions, Tsar and Tristana, are not suitable for fighting without three sets. Is EDG going to drag this game into the late game?"
“No problem.” Miller spread his hands. “We’ve already secured first place in the group. It’s normal to practice a style of play that we’re not good at to prepare for the knockout rounds. Or maybe… we just don’t want GEN to leave too soon.”
"Nosus isn't actually considered a late-game hero, right?" Rita spoke much more cautiously than when she first debuted.
"Nusa is definitely not a late-game hero." Miller explained based on actual combat: "Around 20 minutes in, Nasus can stack up to 500 or 600 Q layers, and no hero can withstand that. After 20 minutes, everyone has to group up, so Nasus doesn't have the space to safely stack up Q, and can't hit tanks with complete equipment. He can easily be kited when he tries to find the back row."
"So normally, the dog's head starts to go downhill after about thirty minutes."
"but……"
At this point, Miller made a turn: "This is true for regular dog heads, but I don't think the same can be said for General's dog heads."
A few simple analyses.
Amid the excitement of fans on both sides, the camera turned to Summoner's Rift.
The most eye-catching Nasus has flash and teleport, and his summoner skill is the unsealed cheats.
From a hero's perspective, Nasus is at a disadvantage against Sion. If he is slowed down and knocked up by EQ in the early stage, he will be chased and lose half of his health.
GEN jungler Xin Zhao is even more ferocious than Zz1tai’s Sejuani.
So Xing Dao extremely rarely brought a Doran's Shield with him when he went out.
"GEN gathers to do the invasion."
Miller watched the two sides deal with it: "GEN's lineup is much stronger than EDG. EDG can't take the level 1 team fight. Zweizhang chose to open the blue buff alone, and he probably won't go to the opposite red."
Sion can definitely push the line of Nasus.
Syndra cannot defeat Tsar, but she can support her own jungle faster and has an absolute advantage in early combat power.
It is not worth it for the factory manager to risk entering the GEN jungle area just for a buff.
To make up for this.
Xing Dao sneaked into the GEN jungle and hid in the bushes opposite the Stone Beetle.
At 1 minute and 27 seconds, Xing Dao moved to the innermost part of the Stone Beetle Camp and inserted an ornament eye through the wall facing the red BUFF bush.
This way, we can monitor a key resource and deduce Zhao Xin's approximate location.
"EDG's bottom lane is controlling the line."
Ze Yuan tried to cheer himself up: "If Jackeylove and Meiko push the line, it will be easy for Zhao Xin to flank them at level 2. Similarly, Xiye can't be too aggressive. If he is a little far away from the defensive tower, he will be killed by Zhao Xin's Phase Rush."
"Take your time!" Miller continued, "There's no need to rush EDG's lineup. Tsar and Tristana are two late-game cores. They're a curve that goes all the way. The longer it drags on, the stronger they'll become."
GEN really wants to get something in the early stages.
Unfortunately, EDG was very cautious in every position and did not give Xin Zhao any chance to attack.
Especially on the road.
Xing Dao changed his previous style and emphasized the principle of not fighting back when being beaten or retaliating when being scolded.
GEN top laner CuVee did try to cheat.
But this Sion deliberately missed his EQ, and then went to the lane to find Nasus to fight... Not to mention Xing Dao, even CuVee himself felt it was too fake.
Jungler Haru wanted to make a strong kill.
As a result, he was caught by the factory manager as soon as he started to make a move and had to use flash to save his life.
After this blow, GEN realized that it would be difficult to destroy EDG with a quick attack, so they chose to develop temporarily and take down the first wind dragon to see if they could gain combat attributes next.
8 minutes and 36 seconds.
Zhao Xin took the Wind Dragon alone.
The attribute of the second little dragon is...fire!
Although it is not the most important Earth Dragon, it is still beneficial to GEN's early lineup.
After six minutes, the fire dragon was taken down. Any dragon with combat attributes could put enough pressure on EDG.
However.
The GEN players just got excited when they found out...
A kill notification popped up above the screen indicating that EDG, General (Desert Reaper) had killed GEN, CuVee (Undead War God)!
