On March 25th, Saturday, the lpl ushered in the third match day of the eighth week of the spring split. The game between edg and ig was scheduled for the first game of the day.
Although it is said that ig's top laner is now in good shape after introducing skt's top laner Duke, with a current record of six wins and three losses, ranking among the top three in Group A.
But even rng, the top team in Group A, lost to edg 0-2. Even the most loyal dog son has no hope that ig can defeat edg today.
Of course, the game scene is still very lively and there are many spectators. The two commentators, Watanabe and Zeyuan, also strongly encouraged ig fans to balance the one-sided support rate.
"In last year's World Championship, although edg won in the end, the duel between Aguang and Duke on the top lane was very controversial." Wawa was the first to introduce the topic.
Zeyuan continued,
"Yes, many people think that Duke actually beats Mouse in the lane, but Mouse relies on the tank hero to roam around with Mika in the mid-term to win the game. Some people also say that Mouse can use the tank hero to win the game against Duke. In terms of growth, I was not single-killed by the opponent in four games, and the economy of replenishing troops was not too far behind. I started the team to shoulder the damage and draw the full force. This is the ultimate blue-collar top laner..."
"Now, we LPL viewers are very lucky. We don't have to wait for the MSI or the S7 World Championship. We can re-experience the powerful showdown between Mouse and Duke, the two world champion top laners, in the regular season of the division!"
"Even in LCK, it's hard to see this..." The audience really bought it. [In the EDG World Championship, except for Mika, the other three lanes were all beaten by SKT?
】【Haha, Duke was an old top laner who was kicked out by SKT after playing in the World Championship. He didn't really think he could compete with the world champion Aguang.】[The cloud audience was in trouble, Mouse almost got passed the World Championship by Duke. I still remember it vividly!
Is this the beginning of the history books? 】【Han Chuigun】【Duke is so awesome, why didn't he get the championship skin?
】【What's there to brag about if a woman from an island country wins the championship? 】...The barrage has been noisy before the game even started.
As soon as the game entered BP, the popularity of the scene reached a new level. The blue side edg banned Jess the poodle and the barrel in the first three moves, and banned people in the first two hands normally. The third move was to block the opponent Duke's top laner Ice Fist Barrel, which had a very good effect in the previous bo5 game, and the second move was to block the ig barrel. Possibility of swinging upfield.
The first three hands of the red square ig ban Enchantress, Varus and Qinggangying. Therefore, the two jungle versions of Male Gun and Mantis are left out.
edg immediately grabbed the male gun for the factory director, and ig grabbed Rambo and Malzahar with the first two hands!
"I'll grab Rambo first!" Coach Abramovich was a little surprised in the EDG player's seat.
"What do you mean by ig?" Last year, Marin's Rambo ran into trouble in LPL, but Duke actually dared to steal Rambo first hand. This is because he doesn't take the factory director and Mika seriously.
"Aguang, just grab a big tree and grab it when the time comes!" the factory director said with a grin. But mouse glanced at Mika and had a different idea than the factory director and coach.
He has transformed and sublimated from the World Championship, and is no longer the weak A Guang in the past.
"Coach, I want to get Kenan!"
"This..." Abu still wanted to hesitate.
"That's right. It's up to you to do damage in this round, mouse!" Mixia first expressed her support.
"Well, Mika is right, let's go with Kenan!" Abu immediately changed his mind and nodded. I definitely want to get Kenan for mouse, but there is no need to pick it in the first round. If I put it in the second round, I might be able to cheat ig into two ban spots.
So edg picked Lulu and Syndra second-hand. Then it’s ig’s turn to select someone. Mafa, the coach from South Korea, has a gentle personality. He likes to communicate with players regardless of training or BP, and he is also willing to listen to the players' personal ideas.
This is also the reason why most of IG's BP in the S8 season was led by him, but the team still found coach Jin Jingmo to work with him as a professional coach - he alone could not control several thorny players in the team.
In this regular season, after realizing early on that the hard power gap between ig and edg was huge, his BP in the game relied on the players' personal expertise from the very beginning.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have grabbed Rambo for Duke first hand. He asked the jungler at this time,
"Kid, do you still want to take Kha'Zix?" Kid shook his head quickly. How dare he choose Mantis in front of Syndra and the male gun?
"Rookie wants to take Zed, and the top laner is AP, so I will choose a spider or a blind monk to cooperate with the control!" The blind monk and Zed are not as good as spiders in cooperation, so ig locks the spider in the third hand.
The first round of BP is over, and the commentator is already analyzing it non-stop.
"Edg doesn't have a hero in the first three hands? Then in the second round, ig will start to pick up the top laner! Titan, Big Tree, they are all easy to cooperate with the jungle!" Wawa said.
"There is another Shen, but Shen may have a harder time facing Rambo." Zeyuan said. Shen's sword formation mainly protects against AD damage, so it is really difficult to face Rambo.
Therefore, ig banned people in the second round, as analyzed by Wawa, banning Titan and Dashu. EDG bans Ekko and Male Blade. The former is Syndra's ter position, and the latter is Rookie's most common hero to cooperate with Spider.
Let’s start with selecting people. ig showed off his adc first. As the position with the biggest strength gap between the two teams, he could only choose this hero for marge.
Then edg chose adc Yin Zeriel as the fourth player. The top, middle and jungle players were all late-stage heroes, and iboy chose a mid-term hero to match the lineup.
In the fifth move, mouse’s Kennen finally appeared! First, the audience cheered. Then the barrage filled the screen.
[Mouse is trying to prove himself? 】【lpl’s territory does not tolerate Koreans’ wantonness!
】【In my opinion, Mouse has forgotten how he won the World Championship with Mika's thighs, and he just lost after defeating some fish-eating Lashi in LPL!
]...Although the audience reacted strongly, it was normal to choose Kenan in front of Duke.
Then it was ig’s fifth move. Unlike Kid who gave up on Mantis after hesitation, IG mid laner Rookie is more confident and has the courage to prove himself.
ig directly locked the Lord of Shadow Stream in seconds! This was a selection that surprised all the viewers, including the commentators!
Because since winning the World Championship last year, there are really not many mid laners who dare to pick Zed or Assassin in front of Sakura Girl in the game!
"It's really locked! Rookie locked the Shadow Stream Lord Zed against Mika's Dark Queen Syndra!" the doll shouted.
"This reminds me of the showdown between Mika and Rookie in last spring split, Zed and Yasuo. Mika used Zed and Yasuo to defeat Rookie in two consecutive teaching games, and then he proved his strength!" Zeyuan said about last year's Having done thorough research on the game, it can be said that he knows all the games played by mika by heart.
"It's Rookie's turn to prove his ability in this game!"
"The game was great!" When the heroes of both sides were confirmed, Wawa excitedly shouted. The edg lineup consists of top laner Kennen, jungler Lancer, mid laner Syndra, adc Yin Zerrell and assistant Lulu.
The ig lineup includes top laner Rambo, jungler Spider, mid laner Zed, adc Jin and assist Malzahar.
