Although edg has locked in the promotion spot, the group stage is still continuing.
Coach Abu took into account the needs of training and hidden recruitment, and decided to let blank play in the next game instead of the factory director.
By the next day, which is the fourth match day of the group stage.
After TSM's upset loss to AM in the first game, Edg immediately came on the scene, and Blank, who started the game, faced his old club SKT head-on!
In the second round of the group stage, skt coach kkoma gave edg more intensity this time.
First of all, he did not choose a herbivorous jungler like Cuishen for the jungler Peanut, but instead forcefully got the male gun.
Then use the grab agent to get the Lucian Tamu combination for Bang and Wolf to use it to counter the training combination of the edg bottom lane mouse Nami.
After entering Summoner's Rift.
KKoma's system slightly exposed their knockout tactics. Facing Abramovich's decent BP, they easily gained a multi-lane advantage.
In addition to Syndra, who is protected by the S6 champion skin in the mid lane of Mei Xia, the faker Xiao Yuren has a lot of lead in the lane, and EDG has a big disadvantage in the upper and jungle as well as the bottom lane in the early stage.
15 minutes into the game, edg went down the road with five packs and two.
The wolf's toad swallowed people in one mouthful, helping Lucian avoid the control of EQ 2nd Company and Blank Cuishen Q, which Meisha Syndra predicted his slippage.
There was also Faker who came in a hurry. Although the little fish man's ultimate move was dodged by iboy with a flash, the battlefield was cut off so that the mouse who had used the ultimate move could not output it.
Then came Huni Galio's ultimate move that came out of the base spiritually. Up to this point it was actually still a 50-50 situation.
But when Blank Cuishen was hiding from Gary [Hero Appearance], he made a mistake in his position, and instead got bitten by the little murloc's ultimate move!
So the faker fishman pole vaulted and connected, and the bang Lucian that was spat out by Tahm also connected to the output, killing the Cuishen first!
It doesn't matter if Cuishen on edg's side is killed. The key is that without Xiaoju's help, both tower resistance and control are insufficient.
As a result, the team battle collapsed, and even Mixia had to accept the fate of having the peanut barrel shoved into her mouth to deal damage, and finally the team was wiped out.
After this round of team battles, EDG's economic lag reached 4,000. Because the lineup was too countered by SKT's lineup, Galio Tambao was on the opposite side of the attack. If he played four guarantees and one, it was easy for the murloc to bring Galio into the field. Even the frontal output cannot compare.
What we will face in the future is the slow and rigorous operation of skt.
The game lost suspense from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. Unable to bear it, Meixia ordered her teammates to force the baron when skt took the dragon.
"Mika is still dealing damage!! Mika is dead!!!" In the commentary that I remember crying, Mika Syndra was shot to death by a male gunner after she finished killing Lucian and Tam.
"Although EDG punished the big dragon, it sent the team to annihilation! Not a single dragon species was left, and the resurrection time was more than 40 seconds. SKT still had the male gun Galio and the little murloc. Galio had teleportation, and the male gun was now a The tower is moving very fast, it seems like there is going to be another wave!" Zeyuan then reported a sad message.
The defense tower in the middle was lost and only the bare crystal was left. Galio directly TPed to the a crystal. The male gun also chased people all the way to the front of the high ground, and also went up to attack with e.
"It's gone..." Su Xiaoyan, the female commentator, looked at the speed of pushing the incisor tower and knew that there would be no chance. She was also very unwilling, "Okay, now in the group stage, both edg and skt have six wins and one loss, and they are tied for third place. 1. There is still suspense about who can advance first!"
Before the game was over, various forums in China began to criticize Blank, the starting jungler of the day.
【blank Serve the country with loyalty! 】
[You can’t trust lck’s foreign players except deft and pawn! 】
[I saw that Deft wanted to play EDG last year, but in the end, Mika, Meiko, and Mous won in a three-on-seven fight! 】
[I don’t think it’s necessary to perform in the group stage. Is it possible that Blank is just a loser? 】
…
Not only the LPL audience, but also the Korean commentators and audiences who had been frustrated for a long time were refreshed.
"gg!!! It's not easy! skt finally defeated edg! Although they used blank as a substitute, I believe this victory is very meaningful to the skt players!
Because this proves that Faker can limit Mika in the middle! As long as the peanut can get the male gun, it will be more effective than the herbivorous jungler! "Brother Roar loudly announced his idea.
"Although it may be rude to say this, I have to say - player Blank has once again proved that he is an average jungler. Although he works hard enough, he is far from a little peanut!" The commentator next to him said. CT is also very happy.
The LCK audience even blamed Blank, who did not appear in MSI or the World Championship finals, for SKT's defeat last year.
[Last year, SKT let Blank start too many games, which caused Bengi's condition to deteriorate. Will EDG make the same mistake again this year! 】
[Sure enough, SKT should have kicked Blank long ago]
[I would say it would be best for Abramovich to play blank in this MSI final]
…
As for the result of this game, Meixia herself was also a little uncomfortable. It was not just that she was sad about losing the game.
She was kind-hearted and blamed herself. She originally planned to use a big victory against her old club to help Blank become stronger, but she unexpectedly lost the game.
This may cause another huge trauma to Blank's already much improved game mentality.
All I can say is that using SKT as a training NPC is too underestimated.
However, at Mei Xia's request, EDG did not ruthlessly push Blank to the bench immediately after losing the first game.
It was still decided to use him as the starter in the next game that day!
In the third game of the day, g2 defeated fw in an upset.
In the fourth game, skt easily defeated gam.
In the fifth game, EDG, who had had dinner in the gym, came out to face Flash Wolf FW.
This is Blank's second time against Wolf King Karsa. Although his mentality was very uncomfortable after losing to SKT, fortunately, Blank's personal strength and mentality have made great progress this season under the training of Sakura Girl.
Moreover, he had the experience of facing the enemy for the first time, and this time he finally got used to it!
Overall, his performance improved a lot compared to the previous game.
Of course, the strength gap between the two teams outside of the jungle position is too huge, so the game process still has nothing to do with the jungle.
Mouse directly boldly selected Kennen on the hero and ordered mmd!
Mixia cooperated with him in selecting the supporting mid laner Yanzaku, and with Blank's well-behaved top lane gank, he captured the universe's top laner mmd to 0-5 in just ten minutes.
During this period, Wolf King Karsa used the hero Mantis, which had no jungle clearing efficiency before level 6, and was unable to perform at all in the fast-paced game.
By twenty minutes, the edg economic snowball had rolled to 6,000.
Although Karsa used his ultimate move to steal iboy's chicken in the bottom lane, he was unable to change the situation.
In the end, at 28 minutes, edg won with a crushing force.
…
Finally, the highlight of the day is g2 versus tsm. The outcome of this game is directly related to the fourth-place team.
Due to two upsets that day, tsm lost to gam, and g2 defeated fw, the records of both tsm and g2 stayed at 2-5.
But on the last day, tsm will face skt and edg, which are almost impossible to defeat.
And g2's opponents on the last day were edg and gam.
So the positions of the two teams reversed overnight!
It was a matter of life and death. The two teams played a different style than before, as steady as an LCK team.
In the early stages of the game, TSM relied on Bilson Jess's QE and Hauntzer Rambo's long-range poke to expand its advantage in an orderly manner. By the 40th minute, the economic lead reached 6,000, and Xiaolong controlled three.
But at the moment of despair, after being reminded of the dragon-stealing decision in the second game between edg and skt, tsm was worried that g2 would steal the baron when they got the fourth dragon!
Therefore, tsm first used the baron to force the team. After a wave of operations, the baron was obtained, but the opportunity to gather four dragon souls was wasted, and the last dragon was given to g2.
So holding the baron, the steady tsm still didn't dare to go to the high ground, and the game actually dragged on for more than 40 minutes.
The big dragon and ancient dragon are all refreshed.
TSM wants to get the ancient dragon. After all, the buff effect of the s7 ancient dragon is linked to the number of dragons. They have three dragons!
But after hesitating all the way, Baron actually gave up to g2!
G2, who got the baron, pushed all the way to the high ground. TSM was still hesitating to get the ancient dragon, leaving only the top laner at home to guard the tower, waiting for others to come back. Top laner Rambo was instantly killed by perkz's clockwork ultimate move.
The time is 48 minutes! The resurrection time is close to two minutes...
The game ends there.
It was another 50 minutes of fierce battle. When g2 pushed down the crystal of tsm's main base, the economy was even 200 behind!
At the same time, the result of this game also completely reversed the relationship between EU and NA.
On the contrary, tsm's road to promotion is in jeopardy...
Just like that, on May 15th, the msi group stage came to the last day!
