The first game between edg and kt ended with edg's almost suffocating offensive.
This game greatly dampened the confidence of the audience.
Some viewers have even begun to despair. Judging from the process and results, the No. 1 seed kt team, which they have high hopes for, is simply helpless in front of others.
This level is almost the same as when EDG played G2, and in a sense, they were even more miserable.
For a while, there was an overwhelming amount of abuse on the Korean forum.
However, for the players of the kt team, after the first game made them aware of the gap in tactical flexibility, they were not discouraged.
As the last lone seed in lck, the lineup they chose in the first bo5 game is actually relatively ordinary, just to test how deep the water of edg is.
Unfortunately, they didn't try it out and drowned.
At this time, kt's coach noex had quickly adjusted his tactics when the players were tortured in the later stage.
In the second game, they will come up with the unique skills they have prepared to press the box.
No matter what, you have to win one first.
On the other hand, in the EDG lounge, players and coaches are also discussing the tactical system that kt may come up with next.
“They chose the red side for the second game.”
Abu frowned slightly.
In most World Championship versions, the blue side's BP will have a certain advantage.
Especially when the red side has a high probability of assuming the ban position of Sword Demon.
After losing a game first, kt actually chose to play on the red side after clearly getting the priority right to choose a side.
This made Abu a little confused.
"The red side means that their counter position on the fifth floor has the possibility of a decisive swing, which cannot be avoided in bo5."
Li Luo thoughtfully said: "Let's see what kind of changes they will make in the first three bans. In short, this version is definitely right to increase the strength of the midfield and top jungle. We can just do whatever we want in the bottom lane, and then the remaining You can take whatever you want, and there is no need for the top three to help the bottom lane get heroes."
"Well, staying the same to cope with the ever-changing situation is not necessarily a bad thing for us."
Abu's brows stretched and he said with a smile.
Sometimes he is quite emotional.
With an adc like Li Luo in the team, it is no exaggeration to describe him as a god-given person.
After all, so far in the S8 World Championship, there is no AD position that can still be played.
Nowadays, Li Luo's Xia has become a fixed ban for all teams, and due to the lack of ban positions in the first three hands, the super mobility system composed of edg's Wheel Mom and Ryze is often released, so red Fang also has to ban another wheel mother.
Two of these three ban positions were assigned at once, and both of them were assigned adc positions.
The other one is for Sword Demon. Once these three ban positions are released, I believe the BP coach of any team will feel as if they have banned someone but not as if they have not banned anyone.
Soon, the second game between the two sides began.
Guan Zeyuan, Wawa and Miller were chatting and laughing in the commentary box.
The status of edg reassures them.
As BP began, both sides began to play cards one after another.
The edg team on the blue side made slight adjustments to the first three ban positions.
After they knocked down the Tsar and Sword Girl who were knocked out in the previous round, they did not ban the Rock Bird. Instead, they killed the deft Yin Zerel in the third-hand hero.
From a player's perspective, there is no need to kill the hero Yin Zeruil.
However, considering the tactical level, according to Abramovich's speculation, kt will most likely choose Yin Zairui for deft when it cannot have an advantage in the bottom lane, and then choose a pure roaming hero for mata to help teammates, leaving Yin Zairui a People hang out online.
Considering the strength of the kt team in the middle and jungle, some heroes that should not be released must not be released. Because of this, there will naturally be fewer ban positions that can be used to target Mata.
Mata knows too many roaming heroes. Although Meiko is in good condition and is confident that she will not be inferior to Mata in terms of roaming, Edg does not intend to get into unnecessary trouble.
However, the kt team's BP strategy made EDG a little stunned.
I saw that the first three ban positions of the kt team were given to Xia and Luan Mahou respectively, but the third ban position was not given to Sword Demon, but Li Luo's Kai'Sa was targeted.
"I took the first shot...it doesn't seem like I did anything bad, right?"
Li Luo said subconsciously in shock.
His performance in Kai'Sa's last game was actually not outstanding.
What really stood out was the junior Ryze. In the last game, half of the kills in the game were won by the junior. At the end of the game, the junior Ryze also topped the crowd with 25,000 damage, and won the game. Won the first MVP of bo5.
Li Luo's Kai'Sa was sold twice in the early stages of the lane. Although he didn't sell himself to death, the skills he gained were real and looked average.
As for harvesting heads, there is no operation at all. Either the troops provide entry, or Ryze's control provides entry.
At least in Li Luo's view, regardless of the early laning, the kills he took in the mid-term could have been done by other professional players, and they would not be worse than what he did.
Edg did not focus on the bottom lane because of the consideration of weakening Li Luo's halo, so that Li Luo would have more heroes to choose from in subsequent games.
But what does kt mean by just hitting him and killing him?
If you keep banning Xia and Sivir and they admit it, why is Kai'Sa's version of strength worthy of being banned?
"The sword demon has been released. KT does this. It feels like there is a trap."
At the commentary table, Guan Zeyuan said thoughtfully.
But when has EDG been afraid of traps?
On the first floor, without hesitation, he locked the sword demon instantly.
When edg's first floor finalized the Sword Demon, the kt team's selection of players on the first and second floors was also quite fast.
Akali, choose instantly from the first floor.
Immediately afterwards, the second floor still finalized the wine barrel for the score.
The kt team's choice made everyone in edg speechless.
"Akali...doesn't it count as an advantage in fighting the Sword Demon?"
In the commentary box, Wawa hesitated and said.
"It's not superior. This version of Akali has already been slashed, and as a warrior hero, Sword Demon, as long as he is proficient enough, it is difficult to lose money by exchanging blood with Akali. Sword Demon's sword energy is to a certain extent I will also be somewhat restrained on Akali’s Xia Formation, but the specifics will depend on the players’ operations.”
Miller thought thoughtfully: "If Rookie's Akali fights Smeb's Sword Demon, then I'm 100% sure that Akali has the advantage, but Smeb... they shouldn't let UCal play Akali." ?”
"There is a high probability that it won't happen. Ucal's tactical position in the kt team is quite special. Letting him play Akali would be a bit self-destructive. In any case, kt has already finalized this Akali. Rei is very likely to be swayed. The edg team locked the rock bird on the second floor, and then locked Ryze on the third floor! Oh, then edg's top, midfielder and jungler directly took out all the first three hands."
Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up when he looked at edg's lineup.
In the middle and jungle, needless to say Sword Demon, version t0 warrior, the strength is there, even if the line collapses, it will still be a 50-50 split.
Ryze...Edg's Ryze knows everything.
Rock Bird is a good jungle hero in the current version. It has a relatively strong jungle clearing speed and ability to drive the rhythm of the whole game. However, they have not seen much of the Director's Rock Bird.
On the KT team, coach Noex's expression was quite calm after seeing EDG's lineup.
As a coach, he probably knows the edg team's plan to lock down the upper midfielder first.
And he also knows that Ryze and Sword Demon, these two heroes, have the possibility of swinging up and down in the current version.
It depends on how EDG chooses.
On the third floor, kt immediately locked Galio after hesitating for a moment.
"Akali...barrel...Gario..."
Abramovich looked at kt's lineup with some doubts.
Every hero in kt's top three hands has uncertainty.
On the surface, kt seems to have chosen the upper midfield.
But all three heroes can also swing.
For example, Galio can swing to support, Gragas can also play support, and Akali can swing up and down.
Both sides have clearly determined most of their lineups, but the specific system has not yet surfaced. This kind of BP is actually quite rare.
To be on the safe side, the edg team killed Camille, who had a strong cooperation with Galio, and then killed Lissandra.
If Galio is the support, then Lissandra is undoubtedly the most suitable hero choice in kt's tactical system.
The two heroes, Ryze and Rockbird, don't have long hands. Once Lissandra controls Galio first and follows up with his ultimate move, it will be quite troublesome. Once the formation is messed up, Akali will also have to enter the field. Chance.
"It's obvious that their coach has some skills."
Abu glanced at the upper right corner.
have to.
The famous scene is here.
The fourth ban of kt team is Lucian.
Five ban Vayne.
This has almost blocked all the ADCs that Li Luo has played and performed brilliantly this year.
In S7, Li Luo rarely had the glory of being 5-banned as his adc.
Now in the S8 season, the current version, whose proportion of adc has been severely weakened, has actually appeared again.
"Five-ban shooter, good guy, I call him good guy."
At the commentary table, Wawa couldn't help but start complaining: "In this case, there are already six adcs in the ban position. If kt takes another one, Brother Luo will really have nothing to take..."
"Actually, there are still some. Kalista and Xiaopao are outside. Based on my understanding of Brother Luo, he should take Kalista, and kt will get a small cannon on the fourth floor... eh?! kt here Did you get a Kindred from the fourth floor?"
As Guan Zeyuan was speaking, the heroes on the fourth floor of the kt team suddenly locked onto each other.
Kindred.
The last one was pressed down by edg, but this one released the hero.
"They put the adc in the counter position on the fifth floor. Are they planning to use magic core?"
Li Luo noticed something keenly.
If it is a small cannon, kt obviously does not need to keep it on the fifth floor. It is obviously better to keep Kindred as the counter position.
But now kt has made such a strange choice. Li Luo doesn't believe it if there is nothing fishy in it.
"It's very likely that it's a magic core. As far as I know, deft's Snake Girl, Big Eyed Monster, Clockwork, Victor, Crow, and even Tetsuo have all been used. In all competition regions around the world, deft The French core heroes are the ones who have gotten more."
Abu said thoughtfully: "But since they have reserved Counter's position to protect the bottom lane position, it is difficult for us to predict in advance what he will take."
"Small cannon."
After Li Luo pondered for a moment, he said: "If their lineup is paired with magic core, it will either be a super long-distance poke hero, or a hero who will rush in with the team. To be honest, their ability to rush into the formation is quite good. Not bad.”
"As for the auxiliary position... we can still use Poppy. It may be a little uncomfortable to face off, but in team battles, their main output Kindred will be very uncomfortable if they are stuck by Poppy. Akali wants to cut in. You have to weigh it up."
Li Luo's analysis made the other EDG players nod slightly.
"I think what Lao Li said makes sense, but if you choose a small cannon and go down the lane to play core, the matchup will be more uncomfortable."
Mingkai said.
"Don't we still have you? If you push them too hard, they will die."
Li Luo smiled, and the trust contained in this simple sentence made Ming Kai's lips reveal a smile involuntarily.
This feeling of being trusted is so good.
"That's it."
"that's all."
Small cannon on the fourth floor, Poppy on the fifth floor.
edg quickly locked down.
"The hammer-form cannon and the cannon-form Poppy, the two yordles jointly go down the lane, edg's BP is a bit interesting."
Wawa laughed and joked in the commentary box.
"KT obviously wants to enter the field system. It is good to choose Poppy to restrain it. However, since the kt team has released Poppy, it seems that they cannot make any preparations, right? In that case, and It’s no different if you’re trapped in a cocoon.”
While Guan Zeyuan was speaking, kt's fifth floor was locked instantly.
The locking speed was as if they had been holding back a fire, just waiting to be vented at the last moment.
Lord of Noxus, Raven!
"It's locked! It's the Crows as expected. Deft played a total of three Crows games in this year's LCK Summer Split and achieved a 100% winning rate. The Crows lineup also fits KT's system. What their system wants is to be more chaotic. The better, the more teammates can mix things up in the formation, and the better Qian Jue's output environment will be."
Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up, the first bo5 game looked like that. As a commentator, although he was on the side of lpl, while supporting edg, he also hoped that both sides could contribute a more exciting quality game.
Judging from the lineup choices of both sides in this game, kt obviously made a big move.
In other words, they chose this tactic out of desperation and went with the flow.
What should I do if I can’t beat the bottom lane?
Of course you have to think of some other way.
Letting the French core counter the normal ADC is a common phenomenon in the S8 summer games.
"In that case, the lineups of both sides have been finalized!"
Miller said: "The blue side EDG team, Ryze in the top lane, rock bird in the jungle, Sword Demon in the mid lane, and the duo in the bottom lane are Xiaopao and Poppy."
"The red side kt team, the top laner Akali, the jungler Kindred, the mid laner Galio, and the bottom lane duo are crows and barrels!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the second match of today's semi-finals together!"
Look at the ferocity of the shooter. 8.2...m. :
