Chapter 716: Damn it, G!
As the saying goes: Even a good cook cannot blow without rice.
What this means is that without money, you can’t even wet your hair with water.
Same for LOL.
Don't think about using Malphite or Ornn to slowly develop to level 6, then using your ultimate to cooperate with the jungler to kill the AD top laner.
The short-handed player faces the long-handed player, and is suppressed for more than five minutes at the beginning. The minimum guarantee is that he is one level behind and has about four-digit economic points. He will lose the state to fight after suffering two sets of consumption. How can the jungler help?
Do you think that the professional league is the same as the low-level ranked league, where junglers can work for three days and three nights, until midnight, without stopping to catch the enemy?
Isn’t that bullshit!
At a slightly higher level, GANK is something you can only do when there is a gap in development.
Giving up resources and using reverse thinking to catch people may be okay if you try it occasionally.
If you dare to normalize the behavior of "selling your children to get ahead", once you are figured out, your death will be more miserable than that of a wild card.
——Even if Mala Xiangguo’s hunger strike is to go into the opponent’s half to cause trouble, drag the opponent together without developing, and then use rich experience to defeat the opponent, this kind of Seven Injury Fist, instead of letting the opponent go into the jungle to eat buffet.
Most importantly…
If anyone could come into EDG's training room and watch.
You will find that the person using AD top lane is not Xing Dao.
But it’s A Shui!
"Is it fun?"
Xing Dao got up and went to get an energy drink.
I stood next to Ah Shui, unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and asked at the same time.
"Fun!" Ah Shui nodded.
"Do you know how to play?" Xing Dao continued to ask.
"I know how to play it, I know how to play it!" Ah Shui repeated it twice.
"You've never played it before." Xing Dao added the third sentence.
"I've never played it before, this is so cool!" A Shui responded excitedly: "Brother should have discovered that I have the talent to be a top laner a long time ago. Those messed up Kiin, Smeb, Bibabu, and Letme are all pieces of cake!"
"Then you go to the top lane and I'll play AD?" Xing said teasingly.
"I'm just bragging, don't take it seriously!" Ah Shui knows the difference between ranking and competition: "If I go to the top lane, not only you, Jie, will play AD, but the whole team will play AD together."
"You still know this." Jiejie joined in the fun.
"What's there to not know?" Ah Shui said indifferently: "But it can be used temporarily once to support the occasion."
In the six group matches, EDG played normally.
The knockout rounds probably won’t be that comfortable.
so.
EDG made some arrangements in advance.
Letting A Shui play AD top lane does not mean really letting A Shui play AD top lane.
Instead, they considered using auxiliary transition to deal with the lane switching tactics - let A Shui fight a 1v1 real man battle with the opponent's top laner, and Meiko went to the top to protect Xing Dao for a 2v2.
certainly.
This idea depends on the specific lineup.
It may not be useful.
But no matter what, it never goes wrong to add a tactical reserve.
Other teams are also making intensive preparations for the knockout rounds, trying out all sorts of systems, real or fake, in the Rank.
For a time, the high-ranking players in the Korean server were in chaos.
It’s like a fight between gods... not really .
It’s not really a case of just noobs fighting each other.
If I had to find a metaphor, it would probably be the feeling of Wakanda, whose technology is more than a hundred years ahead of the world's superpowers, yet they charge forward with shields and spears for hand-to-hand combat.
October 20th.
First, the confrontation in the right half will take place.
12 noon, inside Busan Gymnasium.
A pre-recorded trailer for the quarter-finals was played on the big screen.
In the night with drizzling rain, four figures holding umbrellas walked along the Nakdong River, the longest river in South Korea, which originates from the Changbai Mountains.
On the side, there are more than a dozen skyscrapers standing in a row.
After a few seconds, the view switches to a bird's-eye view of the entire Busan city, including the cross-sea bridge.
The endless flow of vehicles, ferries and colorful neon lights form a gorgeous night scene.
The camera turns again.
Come to the low, old market with canvas awnings and old-fashioned light bulbs, and the dim alleys.
When the BGM sounded.
The scenery inside and outside the Busan Gymnasium complements each other.
The eight team representatives who made it to the knockout stage appeared one by one in different postures.
As the music gradually became louder, wonderful scenes and celebration scenes after promotion were shown, and finally stopped on the summoner statue holding a crystal ball behind the main stage.
The last note was struck.
Two rows of English words appeared.
——QUARTERFINALS
——OCTOBER 20-21
"Hello, everyone at the scene and in front of the screen!"
“Welcome to the first match of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals. The matchup is between KT, the No. 1 seed of LCK, and IG, the No. 2 seed of LPL.”
"I'm Ze Yuan."
"I am Wang Duoduo."
“I’m PDD.”
Two commentators and a special guest appeared in front of the camera.
Self-introduction completed.
Ze Yuan was the first to speak: "Today's game is absolutely thrilling. IG, as the only LPL team fighting in the right half of the zone, has to face the siege of two LCK powerhouses. It can be said that they bear the greatest pressure from foreign wars."
JDG is the real death group.
However, the fight against RNG and EDG was a civil war.
Win or lose, the meat is rotten in the pot.
If IG loses, it will mean that LCK will get a spot in the finals.
Therefore, this BO5 attracted enough attention .
When the Roaring Emperor walked onto the main stage, introduced the members of the two teams, and shouted at the top of his voice to signal the start of the game, the audience clapped their cheering sticks and burst into great enthusiasm.
"Who do you think will win today?" Xiye watched the live broadcast with interest.
"IG is a bit difficult." The factory manager expressed his opinion: "They are not bad in strength, but their experience and mentality may not be as good as KT."
Last year's World Finals.
IG defeated LZ, the No. 1 seed of LCK at the time, twice in the group stage and achieved a perfect record.
But then they lost to SKT 1-3 and were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
This time, the situation is exactly the same as last year.
They faced the higher-ranked LCK No. 1 seed KT.
It inevitably raises some concerns.
However.
What is surprising is that.
In the first game, IG put The shy on the field, with Urgot on the top lane, Shen on the jungle, Lissandra on the mid lane, and Xayah and Rakan on the bottom lane, and defeated KT's top lane Aatrox, Xin Zhao on the jungle, Galio on the mid lane, and the combination of Kai'Sa + Shen on the bottom lane.
The second game...IG won again!
Two to zero!
Two to zero!
IG won the first two games and the audience all over the world were shocked!
What kind of team is KT?
Top laner Smeb, the world runner-up, has been known as the uncrowned king of LCK top lane for a long time .
Jungler Score is a veteran captain who debuted in the S1 season and still maintains world-class strength to this day. The other members of KT were largely pulled in by Score.
Other locations.
The middle lane is S4 champion General Pawn.
AD is S6 champion Deft.
The support is Mat a, the S4 champion + the only support FMVP, who replaced the support god Madlife and climbed to the world's number one position .
It is a true all-star combination.
Such a team was defeated twice in a row by IG, which had only made it to the quarterfinals once, and was pushed to the edge of elimination? !
