The time finally came to Saturday, February 11th, which is also the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar.
In the 2017 LPL Spring Split, the weekend games start at one o’clock in the afternoon.
In the first bo3 game, IM played against OMG. OMG, the dark force of the All-China class, relied on SMLZ's signature skills to achieve the effect of four guarantees and one in two consecutive games, and pushed IM to win.
The second game was played by IG against LGD. This time Godv came up with a fantastic idea but did not follow the version of the hero pool. Rookie had to do everything in his power in front of Rookie. Rookie also had fantastic ideas, but the off-beat heroes selected by Rookie could still be Follow the version of the mid laner!
Rookie took out the newly redone Katarina in two games, while godv picked Syndra and Kassadin respectively, but they failed to complete ter's task. Instead, Funny was defeated by Duke on the road, and finally ig defeated lgd 2-0.

The last time came at six o'clock in the evening.
The third bo3 game of the day, edg vs. nb is about to begin.
The tournament schedule is specially arranged for edg. Most of the games are scheduled during prime time on weekends.
A large number of viewers were looking forward to the return of the factory director, and the traffic in the official live broadcast room quickly reached the peak.
There was a smile on the baby's face, "Welcome back, this is the scene of the third match between EDG and NB on the third match day of the second week of the 2017 LPL Spring Split.
I believe that all viewers must have read the statement on the edg official blog in advance, and heard that the factory director may be launching the product today! "
"That's right, judging from the starting list we got here, clearlove, the director whose game ID has been changed to clearlove7, will return to the jungle position and start in today's game!" Miller adjusted his glasses.
"Speaking of the new ID of the factory director, I was very curious, so I just asked the factory director in the audience what the 7 behind it means..."
"Oh, what does the number 7 mean?"
"Because this is the seventh season he has played in the LPL, and it is also the first season after he won the world championship. Therefore, the factory director reincarnates every seven years. He wants to start over after winning the championship, and follow the attitude of a pure newcomer. The two junglers on the team compete with each other for the starting spot!”
"Wow, this shows the mentality of the factory director, to move forward courageously!"
The two commentators discussed the factory director's new ID, and players from both sides entered the arena.
Different from usual, since the factory director seemed to have not appeared in public for a long time, the cheers given to him by the audience this time were actually half a point higher than that of Mixia.
"I'm super, I'm really a little nervous..." The factory director rubbed his hands and put on the headphones.
"This is much smaller than the cheers at the World Championships..." Mixia said.
"Hey, Mika, don't mention the World Championship, I'm even more nervous..." Although he won the championship, the factory director's memory experience of the World Championship was extremely fragmented. Only the moment of lifting the trophy was positive feedback, and other content of the competition, All I can think about is my own dark history, and all I feel is trembling and suffocation.
I can't experience the championship mentality of being high-spirited and contemptuous of everything.
"Okay, okay, senior director, you are the king of lpl! You are the world's number one jungler in League of Legends!" Mixia had to find another way to ease the director's nervousness.
I don’t know how effective it is, but the factory director’s fist seems to be hardened.
Both sides have configured their equipment and the game begins.
"Edg is on the blue side, and they banned Mantis in their first move. Although judging from the games before the Spring Festival, edg doesn't seem to be very afraid of playing wild Mantis, and Mantis is also their signature in the factory director ranking, but they still banned Mantis in their first move today. Banned..." The commentator doll was a little confused.
"Actually, the 7.3 version of Mantis has been slightly tweaked. Well... I think it may be for tactical reasons. It is probably to use the mid-lane pig-raising tactic that the factory director is best at, so all the heroes who prefer jungle cores will be eliminated." Miller guessed. .
In fact, the reason why mantis is banned on EDG is very simple.
Mantis is a hero with very obvious advantages and disadvantages. If you grab Mantis in the first hand, the subsequent lineup will be fixed, so the blue side is not suitable to grab it. However, if you leave it to the red side to pick Mantis in the first two hands, now the teams are increasingly The more familiar the Mantis system is, the more difficult it is to deal with even the edg, so it is uncomfortable to grab it if it is inappropriate and give it to the opponent, so banning it is the best choice.
Soon nb banned poodle. Even in version 7.3, this jungler is still too supermodel. The key is that Swift does not dare to underestimate the current champion jungler.
It's edg's turn, and then ban the male gun. This is another hero who has become popular recently just because of his fast farming speed and his ability to adapt to armor-piercing equipment. He also likes to play quickly.
nb banned Syndra in the second hand.
Scout expressed his opinion during the training match and just now in the lounge that there is no need to deal with Syndra. He thinks that he can handle it. There is even a high probability that Mika will not grab Syndra, so he can get the Syndra that he is good at. Della.
However, the defeat of nb in the first two games made it difficult for Hiro, who is famous for his high salary and low ability in lpl and is also the first Korean coach of lpl, to continue to trust Scout.
When nb banned Syndra, there was the supermodel hero Qinggang Shadow on the sidelines, and another hero who was t1 but could play a t0 role in edg's hands, Jayce, who could swing mid-range!
So Abu's request is very simple.
In the third hand, Ryze was banned. This was the only hero Scout used before the Spring Festival except Syndra.
So it was nb's turn. The opponent only had one ban position left, but they had to carefully consider between Jace and Qinggangying.
And Hiro's choice is in line with his level.
In his opinion, the 7.3 version of Qinggang Shadow has been weakened, and as the top lane hero, this version also has two heroes, Dashu and Kidney, that can compete with them, and they are not a big threat to them. Therefore, the third-hand player is banned and Jace can handle it. Bit.
"Qinggang Shadow! So in the first game when edg returned from the Spring Festival, Qinggang Shadow was released!" the commentator doll shouted.
"Edg should be trying to grab the Qinggang Shadow, but is it possible for them to let Mika use the Qinggang Shadow to hit the target?" Miller said excitedly.
Sure enough, EDG had a green steel shadow.
Then nb selected the top laner Dashu and the mid laner Enchantress in the first two hands.
Young Sika issues a challenge! He wants to use his assassin to confront Sakura Girl!
"Should Mika continue to play Qinggang Shadow, or change heroes to face the Enchantress?" Abu asked. He was not very optimistic about the Qinggang Shadow versus the Enchantress, and he wanted Sakura Girl to accept Scout's overestimating challenge.
But how could Meixia allow Qinggang Ying to be released for the first time, but she couldn't get a taste of it!
"Just give it to Qinggang Ying!" She was about to slap her breasts, but felt that many viewers liked to mock her with animated pictures of her slapping her breasts, so she made an OK gesture instead.
"Okay, then our second and third hands will be to get heroes for the jungler and bottom lane." Abramovich could only choose to believe it.
Then EDG locked on Spider and Varus.
The factory director's spider is the hero he has practiced the most recently. When he starts again, he is ready to rely on spider and mantis to compete for the starting position.
"It's a pity that I couldn't see the factory director's blind monk, but the spider is okay." The commentary doll said regretfully.
"What do you mean, huh?" Miller felt something in his heart.
"No, no, the blind monk is the factory director's hero who won the championship. I really want to see the factory director's invincible blind man before level 6!" Wawa quickly denied.
The BP on the field is still continuing, and nb selects the jungler Lee Sin in the third round. After all, if the jungler is not selected, by the second round of hero bans, Swift will have no heroes to choose from.
Entering the second round of bp.
edg prohibits ice and exhaustion.
nb banned Zyra and Tamu.
Based on this ban, you can basically guess that NBA will grab Malzahar in the second round.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the selection, nb locked Malzahar.
EDG immediately grabbed the auxiliary Karma.
During this Spring Festival, due to another revision of auxiliary equipment, the incense burner support is gradually gaining strength, and has a tendency to gradually overwhelm the long-hand consumable support. The edg training game has been tried with good results. This is to use nb as the experimental subject. .
In the last move, top laner Shen, Eye of Twilight, finally appeared in the frame!
So the location of Qinggang Shadow is determined!
[As expected of Mika, the mid laner Qinggang Ying is indeed the best! 】
【Mika-chan never disappoints when it comes to surprising people! 】
[This is Mika-chan’s big gift to the factory director. Why doesn’t Qi-chan seem unhappy? 】
[Don’t be embarrassed, the factory director has never smiled since he came on stage. It’s all your fault that you have always been slandering the factory director and you always send him the animated picture of him taking off his headphones, which makes the factory director stop laughing...]
…
The barrage almost covered the live broadcast room, and under the dense audience's speech, nb had no choice but to choose the last hero and lock adc Yin Zerrell for lwx.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
EDG top laner Shen, jungler Spider, mid laner Qinggang Shadow, adc Verus and auxiliary Karma.
nb top laner Dashu, jungler blind monk, mid laner Enchantress, adc Yinzeriel and assistant Malzahar.
