Chapter 719: Tian Ye, let’s pair up!
On the main stage of Busan Sports Arena.
When the Roaring Emperor Jeon Yong-jun tried his best to cheer up and maintain the last dignity of LCK, and introduced the contestants in a strong voice, the starting players of EDG and FNC entered the competition area and began to prepare.
The jungler for EDG this time is Jiejie.
Not putting Clearlove on the team doesn’t mean I look down on FNC.
On the contrary, I think highly of FNC's performance.
Because in the FNC team, Broxah, the jungler whose fighting power is comparable to that of Death Sentence, is a violent person both inside and outside the game. In this World Finals, the heroes he used were more reckless than each other.
With the factory director's old age, it is easy for him to misjudge Broxah's behavior exactly, leading to the embarrassing situation of being beaten black and blue when they meet.
so.
EDG did some research.
Throw Jiejie up, who is young and strong, and at least more resistant to beatings.
While preparing in the lounge, Abu hypnotized Jiejie crazily and told her that the opponent was a very, very strong jungler.
Meet at the stadium.
Jiejie compared his height and physique, and felt that he could not beat this strong man who was only half a head shorter than him, so his mental state naturally tensed up.
Make sure there are no problems with the computer and peripherals.
Both parties entered the custom room established by the official OB.
Adjust the floor.
Enter the Ban/Pick interface.
EDG advanced to the knockout stage as the first in the group, with the right to choose sides in games 1, 3, and 5, and took the initiative to move to the blue side in the first game.
"See which point EDG is targeting on FNC."
Miller did a detailed study: "The biggest carry point in the FNC team is Caps, but Caps has a deep hero pool and no clear preference. He has only picked all the mid-lane heroes in one or two games, so it's a bit hard to know where to start."
"Jungler Broxah also used a total of six heroes in this finals."
"So I personally think we can consider targeting AD or top lane."
"It's better to target AD." Shen Chao said shyly: "In the version used in this World Finals, all types of top laners can appear, but there are only a few good ADs, so targeting AD will be more effective."
The words haven't finished yet.
As expected, EDG put Xayah, the character used the most by Ou Cheng, in the ban seat.
Blue bans first and chooses first, but can only take one.
The red side takes two in the second move.
Therefore, the red team can get Xayah + Rakan at the same time, a combination that has once again entered the forefront of T1 after Kaisa was weakened.
EDG banned Xia, which not only suppressed Ou Cheng's hero pool.
It also imposes certain restrictions on the support position's "Hi Send" and FNC's subsequent lineup.
The first person FNC banned was Akali .
Bibab is certainly strong, but due to the style of the European league, he has never used Akali in an official game since the summer season, so he chose to ban her to avoid the situation of being trapped by MAD's "self-destruction".
"FNC is still very cautious."
Wawa continued, "EDG banned Sivir in the second round, which is also a hero that Ou Cheng likes to use. FNC banned Irelia. In the third round, EDG banned... Viktor!"
"This is a playstyle that appeared in the group stage, Kleptomancy Viktor." Miller introduced: "The first person to use it was Bibab, who won two games. AFs' Kiin also imitated it once , but the effect was average."
"FNC banned Aatrox in the third round."
"Let's see what EDG is going to grab first on the first floor."
The most popular Kaisa in AD is outside.
The problem is.
Kaisa has always had a bit of a version trap feeling since the group stage.
In the fierce battle between IG and KT yesterday, Kaisa played in the first four games, but only one was won, and the key to the victory was also another hero, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
As a result, no one cared about Kaisa in the last two rounds of Ban/Pick, and there was no team choice.
EDG didn’t choose it either.
Instead, he locked up Leblanc, the Deceiver.
Give Xiye a strong enough mid-lane AP.
After all, Xiye has to face Caps, the strongest mage in Europe. If the hero suffers a loss, the situation will easily fall into a passive position.
FNC’s first two picks were Tsar and EZ.
It was an obvious tactic to use EZ to support the mid-term and rely on Tsar to fight in the late stage.
The Tsar can also use his long arms and drifting ability to control the crowd to threaten Lucian and Ashe who may appear.
Seeing this.
EDG's bottom lane brought out Tristana, who had a relatively better output environment, and Lee Sin, who was a panacea in the jungle.
FNC added a Nightmare jungler on the third floor.
Enter the second round of Ban/Pick
EDG gave the spots to two mixed players, Ornn and Shen.
After some thought, FNC continued to target the top lane and put Centaur and Poppy on the ban seat.
"They probably want to change the line."
Meiko judged this from the behavior of the FNC team.
Xing Dao has recently put up some very good numbers with Gangplank and even played an MVP-level game with Shen in the group stage. In addition, Yasuo, who has carried the game many times in the LPL region, is enough to attract the attention of opponents.
It is barely understandable that FNC banned Poppy.
Banning Centaur...what else could it be other than the thought of changing lanes?
"almost."
Xing Dao shared the same view: "Come on, Tian Ye, let's cooperate!"
"Cooperate with me!" Meiko said excitedly.
Fourth floor.
FNC chooses first.
It was a Sion that appeared.
The intention of seducing the captain was obvious.
EDG immediately took out the Tidecaller Nami and... the Swift Swordsman Yasuo!
"EDG's lineup..."
Miller thought for half a second and gave his evaluation: "This lineup is more or less thin. The whole team can't find a real front row. But with Leblanc poking at the side, Tristana pulling, Nami's counter, and Yasuo's wind wall, we shouldn't be at a disadvantage in teamfights. It all depends on how we perform."
"Yes." Wawa nodded: "FNC's fifth floor chose Niu. Ezreal and Niu are not particularly compatible. Niu should consider team battles."
After the final exchange and adjustment.
Enter the reading interface.
Blue side: EDG
Red side: FNC
Top Lane: Yasuo vs Sion
Jungle: Lee Sin vs Nightmare
Mid: LeBron vs Tsar
AD: Tristana vs EZ
Support: Nami vs Lao Niu
From a hero perspective, FNC's match is more reasonable.
Sion is at the front to take damage, Alistar can both initiate and counterattack, EZ is the number one in POKE, and Tsar has sufficient continuous output.
The relatively unstable Nightmare, while ensuring the team's lower limit, makes up for the special function - turning on and off the lights, making it impossible for EDG's lineup, to gather together quickly.
On EDG's side, to put it nicely, it's all about personal ability.
To put it bluntly, it is not systematic.
If it weren't for the extremely brilliant record in the past, it would definitely be questioned.
at this time.
Although no one has expressed negative opinions about EDG, based on the two things that both KT and AFs teams lost, AFs lost to the North American third seed C9.
The commentators and audience on the LPL side couldn't help but feel a little worried.
But no matter what I think.
When the camera turns to Summoner's Rift, the only thing we can do is cheer for EDG, hoping that this team that has established its dominant position since the S6 finals can continue its legend.
