The first day of the group stage has come to an end.
Both LPL teams achieved their own victories. Although the enemies they faced were not very strong, they still won, and the victory was quite clean and tidy.
It's just that some people are happy and some are worried.
The South Korean team achieved one win and one loss in today's two duels, which obviously did not satisfy their audience.
Domestic Tieba forums have gathered a large number of porters who are just for fun, and there are considerate translators on hand. The scene in the Korean forum quickly appeared in Tieba.
"Give GEN some time. It's a good thing to lose in the first round, but later...I forgot about the later."
"It doesn't matter, GEN has always been a slow team. They made it to the semi-finals in last year's World Championship. They stumbled from the group stage to crushing KZ in the quarter-finals. I believe in them."
"I hope so. I hope they can warm up during the short group stage schedule. Don't forget that they will play EDG tomorrow. How can they play EDG in this state?"
"It's okay to be slow to warm up. The problem is that it's October now and it's getting colder day by day..."
"This is just BO1. This world championship is our version of GEN. We will be invincible when we wait for B05!
"Rational analysis shows that there is no possibility that GEN's main research goal is EDG, so they did not take other teams to heart, and they lost because they underestimated the enemy."
"The rational fans of GEN said that we will not lose a game and advance to the semi-finals with a score of 5/1!"
...
As a fan of the news, domestic netizens were delighted.
However, in the face of the harsh words sent by Korean netizens from a distance, the gentle friends in China did not rush to express their opinions.
Everything will be discussed after the game starts tomorrow.
Talking nonsense before a game can easily get you slapped in the face.
...
Busan.
Inside GEN's temporary training base.
At one o'clock in the morning, everyone is still training.
Without him, no one in GEN could sleep.
Naturally, they have heard and seen the sarcastic comments made by netizens on the forum.
They... feel aggrieved.
In fact, some netizens spoke to their hearts.
We have indeed invested a lot of research into EDG.
After many rational analyzes by supervisor Edgar and analysts, GEN has reason to believe that they lost to IG last year because they were restrained by IG in terms of game style.
The teams that GEN likes to play are those that prefer to operate at a tempo.
For example, the EDG team.
Although the EDG team does not have a more aggressive style of play, the engine of that aggressive style of play is our midfielder.
As long as their jungler and mid laner force the EDG team's early rhythm in the middle and jungle, they will be confident enough to drag the situation into an area they are familiar with.
This method of winning against EDG has actually been made public in the Korean professional circle.
There are just very few teams that can do it.
Edgar has a relatively stable set of tactics, and in his opinion, only GEN can successfully implement that set of tactics.
The opening battle was lost, so the next key battle must not be lost.
I want to lead the team to face a "life and death battle" in the first round of the group stage.
Turn the tide around tomorrow!
...
Morning of the seventh day
The first match on the seventh day of the group stage was not between EDG and GEN.
Not only was the venue full today, but there were also many spectators outside the venue. These spectators gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the game.
In order to give spectators who did not buy tickets outside the venue a better viewing experience, a viewing screen was also set up in the square outside the venue, but the screen was obviously much smaller than inside the venue.
Only spectators who are closer can see it relatively clearly, but for those players who cannot go inside to watch the game, it is great to have that kind of atmosphere.
On their way to the battle table, the EDG people happened to hear the GEN people shouting something in the distance when they walked to the entrance.
After hearing the voice from GEN's side, the expressions of the junior disciple and Jin Gong clearly showed a strange look.
"Can you hear me clearly? What are they saying?"
Xiaotian came up to him like a curious baby and asked.
"I can't hear you clearly, but it probably means that they are the No. 1 seed, and when they meet you as the No. 8 seed, you should have greater psychological pressure."
The junior student said thoughtfully: "But what they said is actually right. I am really under a lot of psychological pressure right now."
Tang Daren Zhu Kai happened to hear what the junior boy said and was about to step forward to comfort him, but he heard the junior boy minding his own business and saying: "Brother Yi Jin beat you so badly last year, I will definitely beat you to death." If the power is balanced, it feels so shameless.
Zhu Kai froze in place as he stepped out.
I looked at Abu innocently.
Abu spread his hands.
Okay, I was overthinking it.
pressure?
EDG has seen so many storms this year.
There is no point in talking nonsense if GEN wants to make them feel the pressure.
It must be proven by actual actions.
...
In the commentary box.
Wang Duoduo and Lucian, the commentary partners at the Asian Games, are now together again.
Although Wang Duoduo faced the camera with a smile on his face, the smile did not seem so sincere to the audience.
On the contrary...a little bitter?
Tan Ronghao believes that LPL officials are targeting him, so does he have to let me explain this game?
Can't you just change it for another day?
I like GEN.
But I am also a commentator for the LPL region.
That would make me very confused.
Once famous quotes appear in this game, no matter which side the interested party is on, he will definitely be the one who gets sprayed!
After some simple and elegant opening remarks, the BP between the two parties kicked off without any sloppiness.
"In this game, the GEN roll was on the blue side. We were very lucky. Our first three bans were Kai'Sa, Niutou, and Guan Zeyuan respectively."
"In contrast, the last three ban positions of EDG on the red side are given to Sword Demon, Urgot and Tahm Kench!"
Tan Ronghao said, "There's no need to elaborate on Kai'Sa's point. Yesterday, MAD, a top player, directly gave Li Luodi the MVP of the S game. It seems that GEN didn't intend to take it."
"It's true that Luo Ge's Kai'Sa cannot be taken. As for Niutou and Tan Ronghao, they don't understand that this version will have more warrior-type top laners. As for Niutou, we all know that although he is a soft support, he is an opener. A soft assistant with strong teamwork and protection abilities.”
Wang Duoduo analyzed from the side: "lko is also very good at the hero Niutou. I am sure that if GEN doesn't plan to steal it, Niutou will really regret it."
"Tan Ronghao's words... Crown played a game yesterday, and the effect was not good. I also feel that this thing does not fit his style. It doesn't matter if he drops it. After all, Guan Zeyuan on the junior side is also considered One of the unique skills.
Wang Duoduo asked, "The first floor of GEN has not selected a hero in seconds.
Banning Kai'Sa means that our thinking is very clear. On the one hand, we want to take Xayah, and on the other hand, we want to force EDG to take Luo.
"For this one, I'll use your champion skin."
After locking Kasumi on the first floor of his house, Emperor Chi said eagerly.
Last night King Chi had a dream
I dreamed that I could overcome this curse in my heart today, and Chichi Emperor had a vague feeling that as long as he could overcome this curse, he would have a chance to become the world champion this time!
Take Xia, and use Li Luo’s champion skin to defeat Li Luo!
"Very well, that's how it is."
Edgar glanced at Emperor Chi with great admiration
When it was EDG's turn to choose, EDG did lock up Luo first as GEN wished on the first and seventh floors.
Then a hand of Thain was finalized.
This is a relatively normal choice in this S-match. After all, the two mainstream warrior heroes, Sword Demon and Urgot, have been actively eliminated by EDG. EDG clearly wants to bring functional tanks to the top lane.
After GEN saw that EDG selected Thain, they stopped comparing. They locked Braum first on the seventh floor, and then settled on Ornn on the eighth floor, leaving the middle and jungle positions to choose from.
EDG didn't hesitate much on the eighth floor and directly selected Nightmare.
The appearance of the nightmare made the GEN players and even coach Edgar frown slightly.
Yesterday, they lost to the disgusting filth like Nightmare.
Although we know that EDG's jungler Xiaotian will play this hero, this system should not have a high priority in the EDG team's tactical reserves.
But EDG defeated the nightmare in the eighth move, which made Edgar instinctively feel something was wrong.
"Now we still have no choice in Double C. There is too much room for choice in Double C with Nightmare, but they are not so afraid of cutting in with this one."
On the GEN team's side, assistant reJJ hesitated for a moment and said: "In the seventh round, bo will block Lissandra, and then press down Syndra. That will make the bottom lane much easier."
"Okay, let's do this."
Edgar thought again and again and nodded slightly.
The relationship between Nightmare and Lissandra is undoubtedly very good.
Once Nightmare completes turning off the lights, the difficulty of Lissandra entering the battlefield with her crampon will be reduced again.
This hero is extremely lethal to the tactics GEN wants to implement in this game, so pressing him down is the best option.
As for Syndra, it was also for the sake of Emperor Chi.
Although Emperor Chi wanted to be very forceful and said that he would not ban.
However, after considering the strengthening of Tan Ronghao's laning ability and the output pressure that he had to bear with this weapon, Chi Di finally compromised.
The overall design of any tactics requires paying a certain price.
The serious lack of ban positions is the price GEN pays for this strategy.
After comparison, EDG's ban position in the seventh round was clearly targeted. The jungler GEN played in this game was Haru.
Haru's advantages and disadvantages are obvious. His advantage is that his play style is more aggressive. His disadvantage is that he is not very good at playing mainstream heroes like blind monk who require sufficient operation foundation.
Haru's Lee Sin is the hero he has played the most in his career.
But the winning rate is less than 70%.
For his blind monk, EDG has no worries at all about going up and down.
GEN did not study EDG.
EDG also did not study GEN.
Therefore, EDG decisively eliminated the hero Troll, whose win rate was over 70%, and the hero Olaf, who was extremely capable of restraining Nightmare.
After the seventh round of banning began, the EDG team locked the wheel mother.
"Wheel mom...it's locked! EDG...are you going to play with that?"
In the commentary box, Wang Duoduo looked at EDG's first round of bans with some confusion.
He remembered clearly that EDG took the initiative to kill Tahm Kench.
As for all the heroes that EDG took out, except for Luo, the others were exactly the same as when EDG showed the "Teleport Fortress" for the first time.
At that time, EDG relied on Nightmare's lights-out, Tan Rong's ultimate move, Wheel Mom's mobility, and Tahm's tactical features of driving around behind Sion, and crushed its opponents with its elusive play style in the game.
But this time, EDG took the initiative to kill Tahm!
"Xi Si'er..."
Edgar's face turned a little blue.
I realized that my thinking was limited.
Whether it's a mobile fortress or a teleportation fortress, they are all within the scope of his vigilance.
Koreans are very good at analyzing the tactical core of a set of tactics.
In the teleportation fortress tactic, Tahm's position is undoubtedly very important.
EDG took the initiative to kill Tahm Kench in the first round of BP. On the surface, it was to block GEN's ability to protect the queue. In fact... was it to cover up the other key heroes they brought out to form the teleportation fortress? ?
Sai En, Meng Yuan, Tan Rong, Wheel Mama, Luo.
The images of these five heroes appeared in Edgar's mind.
Indeed, the ability to teleport has been enhanced a bit without Tahm Kench. But this lineup's rushing ability has improved a lot.
Moreover, as long as they have Tan Rong's ultimate move and Wheel Mom's ultimate move, their transfer ability is also very strong.
Although EDG has not selected Ryze yet, in Edgar's mind, this is basically a certainty.
It’s actually not difficult to break this system.
Then as long as we rob Ryze on the seventh and seventh floors.
Forcibly break EDG's system configuration.
But in that case, the lineup he wants to choose will inevitably be dismantled to pieces.
Besides...the weakened Ryze is too high a priority for GEN.
No, it cannot be dismantled!
"Let's stick to the original plan. Let's play defense and defend their team fight's face. If we counterattack, we have a good chance of winning."
Edgar gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing that the seventh and seventh floor of his house had chosen two heroes according to his original plan, Edgar felt a little disappointed.
I thought I was gambling.
Bet on how well our players have adjusted after their first loss yesterday.
As long as there is no problem with the players' condition, even if EDG's lineup is very strong, we still have a chance to win!
"It turns out that this is what GEN had in mind."
In the commentary box, Tan Ronghao looked at the top two heroes that GEN had finalized and smiled with relief.
And EDG's seventh floor did live up to expectations and finally locked down Ryze.
But when they locked onto Tan Rong, Abu and Li Luo almost sighed in unison.
pity.
EDG has made two preparations.
Unfortunately, GEN failed to snatch Ryze, and their other preparations were useless.
"In that case...the lineups of both sides have been completely finalized. The blue side GEN team has Ornn in the top lane, Kindred in the jungle, Lulu in the mid lane, and the bottom duo is paired with Lu. Bronn!"
"The red side EDG team, the top laner Sion, the jungler Nightmare, the mid laner Ryze, and the bottom lane duo are respectively Wheel Mom and Rakan!"
In the commentary box, Wang Duoduo also nodded clearly: "GEN is actually very smart. Knowing that Brother Crown will most likely be strong against the junior brother, he directly asked Brother Crown to give up the line and choose Lulu. This kind of auxiliary hero is used to deal with the early stage. In the middle and late stages, the main ones are Xia Baochi and the jungler Qianhuan...
"In this way, it's Ornn's team-building plus Braum and Lulu's double protection..."
Wang Duoduo clicked his tongue in surprise.
He felt that from a tactical perspective, GEN was obviously serious about this game.
It feels like taking out the stuff from the bottom of the box and using it
But EDG’s tactics...
But it's just one of their more common territory tactics.
