"I'm so stupid..." Li Rui couldn't help but say Jack's catchphrase, "Can EDG beat SKT like this?" Leading by 1 economy in 28 minutes, a huge advantage!
This was beyond everyone’s expectations including VG!
As Gu Xing said in the interview, they can learn about Guodian's results through the sparring team. Queshi is very good, and his chances of winning in the training stage where he basically only plays the first 20 minutes are quite scary.
But is it a bit too exaggerated to say that they can crush SKT? He is the No. 1 seed in the LCK!
Gu Xing can now feel the wave of cheers coming from the scene through the screen of his mobile phone! The piggies were so happy that they cheered for the home team in the audience!
The live broadcast room was filled with barrages.
[EDG is strong and worthy of being SKT’s nemesis! Reproduce the glory of S5 mid-season! 】【ut: Lee Sang Hyuk, you are the only one who wants to be my brother, right? I must dry it for you today! 】【It can only mean that Kai is a god! If I can't beat little peanut, can I still beat you, Xiaohei? 】
[SKT 10% off water bottles? Before the game, some people actually said that the LCK was particularly strong this year, but as a result, the No. 1 seed was treated like a pig by Guodian! 】【Ho ho ho, can you congratulate the LPL team Bird's Nest in advance for the finals? 】
[Don’t open the champagne at halftime, what if you lose EDG milk again]
[Fuck you, 1 can you still lose with a poor economy? If Guodian is overturned, I will broadcast a five-speed electric fan! 】
"Just wait and wait for EDG to win easily," Gu Xing said cheerfully, very optimistic about Guodian. "Let's beat SKT to pieces. We brothers will join forces and qualify first!" He had absolute confidence that VG would qualify first as a group.
The quarter-finals will definitely have to face the second place in other groups.
If the two LPL teams can also qualify for the top spot, at least the LPL civil war will not happen prematurely. In the battlefield, everyone in EDG bulldozed SKT's bottom lane high ground.
It is worth mentioning that the junior finally stopped thinking about his B Lucian. After being taught a lesson by VG for three consecutive games, he gave up on the black shooter who was weakened by fists on the eve of the World Championships. He also performed very well with Yanque again.
After laying a stone array to prevent SKT from pursuing, the junior followed his teammates back to the city for supplies. But Gu Xing suddenly realized something was wrong.
"The dragon is about to refresh. Do you want to return to the city now?" He frowned instinctively. Guodian was a bit greedy just now.
After pushing the highland tower, I had to remove the crystal as well, which wasted a little time. There are still 20 seconds left before Baron Nash is reborn.
Everyone in EDG returned to the city and set off again. Even with the movement speed bonus of the Home Guard, they still couldn't reach the Dragon Pit in time when the Baron refreshed!
Undoubtedly a major mistake!
At that time, the enemy may be the first to take position, occupy a favorable terrain, and may even rely on double C to quickly rush out Baron Nash!
SKT was also aware of this critical issue. After clearing the bot lane, they rushed to the Dalong Pit without stopping, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack. EDG also reacted quickly. They didn't want to let go of the big dragon, so they immediately canceled their return to the city and headed towards the big dragon pit.
"Ouch..." Song Jinghao had a strong sense of empathy. He put himself in EDG's shoes and thought about the problem. The noise was extremely urgent. "Just exchange for the high ground in the middle. Don't pick up the team!"
On the surface, EDG leads 1 economy, but in fact, in Song Jinghao's opinion, the difference in combat effectiveness is not big.
First of all, EDG did not repair the enemy's high ground after pushing it. The five players still had a lot of gold coins in their hands but did not buy equipment. Their condition was not very good, and they suffered a lot of losses in health and mana.
The other is the lineup gap.
EDG can gain a big advantage in the early stage not only because of the outstanding performance of its own players, but also because of the lineup.
The mid-field combination of Rock Bird + Excavator is one of the best in the current version, whether it is the speed of coordinated support or the ability to kill through towers! But when it comes to teamfighting in the middle and late stages, the midfielder pair is really not very strong.
On the contrary, SKT is sitting on the midfielder with Clockwork + Prince, and its teamfighting ability is infinitely higher than EDG! What's more, SKT still has Rakan.
Coupled with the big bug in the top lane, the overall team control ability of the lineup is outstanding!
Moreover, in order to promote SKT to the high ground as a team, Guodian should invest a lot of wards in the lower half of the map. As a result, the Ueno area is now pitch black with no vision!
Now SKT relies on early actions to reach the upper river earlier than Guodian. With the advantage of the field of vision, SKT undoubtedly has the initiative in team battles!
On the surface, 1 economy leads, but under the influence of the three factors of poor condition, lack of vision, and weak lineup, EDG has a 60% chance of winning in a fight at most!
Sb believes that there is no need for EDG to start a duel with SKT in Dalong Pit.
We are already 1 economy ahead. Losing a baron is not unacceptable. Wouldn't it be good to replace it with resources in the middle lane? SKT needs at least 3 people to take down the dragon, and the middle lane can't be defended at all!
But EDG had no hesitation and still had to squeeze into the Dalong Pit. Gu Xing always felt something was not good when he saw this.
SKT is good at defensive counterattacks, and has an extremely keen sense of smell in mid-to-late team battles. It immediately sensed EDG's intention to squeeze into the Baron Pit.
They huddled in the grass above the middle road, obviously trying to set up an ambush here. Gu Xing hissed lightly.
Kuro murmured, "This bowl doesn't know how to take pills..."
EDG had no idea about the enemy's ambush. The five of them rushed to the middle as a team and cleared the enemy's minions first, hoping to put pressure on SKT. A fair decision.
A coin dropped from the body of the artillery soldier.
Naturally, Tian Ye would not let go of the opportunity to capture the economy, and controlled Feng Nu to take a step forward and enter the coin absorption range. "Bloody hell!" Jack blurted out, "Field!"
From a God's perspective, he could clearly see the rest of SKT's players gathered in the grass above the middle lane, watching eagerly. If Feng Nu takes one step forward, she will be out of touch with the team!
But Meiko didn't realize it.
There is money on the ground, so it makes sense for me to go up and pick it up, right? SKT seized this fleeting gap.
As the only Li brother in the team, Li Zaiwan activated R [Jinghong Gap] and accelerated away from the grass, striding toward Feng Nu. Bang's mouse also entered a state of disguise, making a few cunning "dididudi" phrases.
Tian Ye saw Luo coming at high speed with his ultimate move and instinctively realized the danger. The situation is not right, retreat quickly!
However, his step forward to pick up the money put him in a desperate situation!
Now that Tianye is exposed on the outside of EDG's formation, he is the first to be targeted by SKT! Luo cut into the EDG formation under the bright golden light!
【Grand debut】!
Luo's R flash in this version is a supermodel control at the same level as Galio's flash. Ordinary players would not be able to react to the sudden approach of Luo!
"Turn it up, turn it up!" Song Jinghao shouted angrily, wanting to wake up Feng Nu across time and space.
As long as Janna opens R [Resurrection Monsoon], she can knock Rakan away and interrupt the opponent's grand entrance. If Luo's control fails to work, EDG will win the team battle!
But Ye Tianye was at a loss when SKT picked him up, and his original top-notch skills couldn't be used at all! After a moment's slow movement, Luo successfully exerted the group control effect!
Except for Iboy's Xia who used her ultimate move to avoid Luo's charm and flew back, the other four EDG members were flying in the sky! All the VG members watching the live broadcast of this game felt a little bit in their hearts.
broken.
Faker was taken care of by Ming Kai several times in this game. He was so frustrated that he poured out all his anger at this moment! The demon possesses Luo, R [Command: Shock Wave]!
The four EDG people who were originally under control were swept into the air by the big move! Perfect control connection!
After Bang revealed himself, he cast R [Full Fire], and the crossbow bolts pierced the EDG formation crazily! In the end, Tian Ye was so stunned that he died suddenly without even using a single skill!
The two players in the middle and jungle could not withstand SKT's control chain and the terrifying output of the rats, and they also died one after another after dying suddenly in the field.
Even though Iboy had just handed over R to avoid the enemy's double control of the midfielder and auxiliary, SKT was already determined to kill them, so they forced themselves to catch up and kill him. Only Mouse managed to escape by running fast!
Zero for four, SK
T won a great victory!
"For Gods and Demons!" Song Jinghao broke his guard, his voice was as shrill as Abu's, "Meiko, why don't you turn it up!" "Sent it, brothers!" Gu Xing sighed with emotion.
SKT won Baron and instantly narrowed the economic gap to 4K!
Originally, with Guodian's advantage, it was acceptable to simply send a wave or drop the dragon. But EDG just revealed everything!
Now SKT can still use the Baron BUFF to advance further, and coupled with the growth of a strong lineup in the later stage, it can be said that Guodian's winning probability has dropped below 50%!
Through the live broadcast signal, Gu Xing could feel the dead silence of the scene. The piggies who had been showing off their power before were silent.
The audience in the live broadcast room was even more unbelievable! [Wairui, what kind of dream team battle is this? 】
[One wave of team fights back 6K economy, it won’t be a direct comeback, right?] [Holy shit, SKT! This is the foundation of the double crown! 】
[I really laughed at this EDG. After playing a good game for 28 minutes, I could send them all out in just 20 seconds! 】【Tianye, why don't you retire? This performance really makes me want to open a ranch for you】
[If Feng Nu’s ultimate move doesn’t work, she flashes and doesn’t work, there’s something wrong with her thinking, right? 】After giving away the big ones, all the EDG players under the camera were confused.
"No," Jack put his hands behind his head and concluded firmly, "It's impossible to win a game like this once your mentality breaks down!" He has a say in this aspect of mentality.
The fact is just as Yu Wenbo said, EDG was losing ground in front of the powerful SKT.
The last wave of team rats scored four kills, and then led their teammates into the spring to arrest the escaped Ming Kai. After the team destroyed Guodian, they bulldozed the base in one go!
Everyone in SKT took off their headphones. They usually showed no emotion or anger in front of the camera, but now they were all smiles and embraced each other enthusiastically to celebrate the unexpected comeback. Fighting without hesitation in the face of danger, looking for opportunities to kill with a fatal blow, this is SKT!
The director promptly showed the camera to the EDG player seats. The contrast is very clear.
Mingkai's dead fish eyes became more and more lifeless, and Tianye felt annoyed and held his head, not daring to look up. Except for ADC, this is not the first time for Guodian to participate in the World Championship.
They know very well that in the group stage of a total of six sets, winning every game is crucial! Sometimes the only difference between qualifying and qualifying is this small game!
But now, the cooked duck has flown!
"Can the economy of 10,000 yuan be turned around? That's outrageous!" Duan Deliang hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Wangruo understands the tragic situation of EDG players having no fighting spirit at all - if VG were overturned by Jiang Zi, he would probably be more autistic than this group of players.
Other players in the team also shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for Guodian. It was a pity for Que to lose such a good situation.
"I just said don't go to that wave of dragons," Song Jinghao said bitterly, "EDG must be greedy. I finally know what the word 'die greed' means in Chinese. I would rather die than be greedy!"
He sincerely hopes that EDG can win. How cool is it to see SKT being unlucky?
Gu Xing shrugged, "There was nothing I could do. At that time, EDG might have been on top. They didn't want to give up any resources. They picked up the group and wanted to solve it quickly." As a party involved, EDG must think about the problem from a different perspective than the audience.
Gu Xing has a strong say in this aspect.
The members of Guodian just saw that the advantage was too great, and they became less rigorous in their playing methods.
First of all, because of greed, I had to grind the crystals before leaving the Highland Tower, so I wasted time and couldn't rush to the Dalong Pit. Then, I don’t want to release neutral resources. I feel that I have a huge advantage. Why should I let you SKT take the Baron? It makes no sense!
In the end, it was Meiko's Feng Nu who was greedy for the coin, stood in the front and was driven first and died suddenly on the spot! EDG's three greedy consequences led to bitter consequences, and the team was pushed into the abyss step by step!
"Don't worry about it, the more you watch, the more uncomfortable it becomes," Hongmi comforted, "pack up and prepare for the training match, IG is waiting for us." VG concentrated on training and prepared to further polish the adapted version.
It has to be said that IG is not a good training target.
The reason is that the Ji team's play style is too reckless and they dared to look at him in the early stage.
He's about to start a fight. He's really a grumpy old man. The overall style is chaos, with no management at all, and the Summoner's Rift is turned into a chaotic brawl.
From start to finish, it is common for both teams to score forty or fifty heads in a 20-minute training match! In the S7 World Championship, a slow version that emphasizes operation, VG is basically unable to grow in sparring with IG.
But their winning rate in training matches is really bad!
IG faced VG all night long and was able to win 40% of the games. It was the team with the strongest resistance among the sparring team and the two participating colleagues. After the training match, Hongmi brought the IG team over to review the game and think about the thoughts of the ten players at that time from the perspective of watching the game.
After listening to the unreserved experience imparted by the IG players, Gu Xing finally understood why they were so fierce in training matches. It seems that the team's chaotic fighting style does not fit the version, but IG's personal style is still very suitable for the incense burner system.
Especially the bottom lane.
Baolan's life-saving ability in support is second to none. This is undoubtedly the most important attribute of the incense burner monster! If Tian Ye died suddenly like before, the team would not be able to fight in a team fight!
But Baolan is very timid.
He really likes heroes who hide behind and provide buffs to their teammates.
The Lulu Karma three-piece suit of the incense burner system is simply a soft accessory tailor-made for him! Another key factor is children's wandering minds.
Kid is a famous competition weakling, and his mentality is famous for his bad attitude.
When he steps onto the stage of important events, his hands will shake uncontrollably, which will affect his personal performance. But when it comes to training matches, a child's wandering mind is enough to be the king!
Without psychological pressure, Kid is the top scorer and goalkeeper in the country!
Moreover, the two brothers in the bottom lane did not expect to have any advantage in the laning period, so they directly asked King Ning to focus on the bottom half, freeing up energy to take care of the top and middle lines.
When the three top players in the IG team come together to act, the effect is immediate!
"I think the idea of focusing on the upper and jungle areas is right," Gu Xing told his opinion. "This version of the bottom lane is full of soft assists + big core shooters. It is difficult to open a breakthrough from the laning stage, and the top half is not so good. Likewise, the probability of killing someone after a conflict breaks out is obviously much higher."
Kuro nodded in agreement and added a suggestion, "And there is also a priority in it. The midfielder and jungler must gain an advantage through synergy before rolling the snowball to help the top laner. This is the best choice."
"Then do I still have to play tanks in my previous unit?" Song Jinghao asked, complaining a few words to vent his emotions, "To be honest, front row laning is really boring, fighting each other for a long time without losing blood!"
I fought with TSM for nearly half an hour today, but I didn't get anything, which made Sb very unhappy. He is a hexagonal top laner who excels in various types of roles, but there is always a preference among them.
There are very few top top laners who sincerely like to play tanks. They are chosen to be prepared for self-sacrifice and think about making wedding dresses for their teammates. "Brother Jinghao, I feel like I can play a DPS hero," TheShy interjected, "Gnar in the first game of the training match was really fun for us to play!" He recalled the scene when he went all the way to black during the battle, and suddenly He was so happy that he laughed out loud, as if he was suffering from a sudden illness.
Jiang Chenglu is fine when he's not smiling, like a cool guy.
As long as he grins, his long face and exaggerated expression will look a little funny. Everyone in the training room didn't tense up when they saw TheShy's expression.
Gu Xing tried his best to control the raised corners of his mouth and said seriously, "Judging from the current evolution of the version, there is really no need for the top laner to play tank again."
"Because the mid laner's magic core is really not very strong," he explained the reason. "If you choose a clockwork plane and a snake girl, it means that you don't care about the life and death of your teammates in the early stage, and you are basically locked in the middle and unable to move."
"But the incense burner system emphasizes the linkage between midfield and jungle - this is also the only position in the current version that can do things in the early stage. Support and shooters cannot participate in the battle, and the top laner is basically an orphan position that cannot drive the rhythm. If you choose the core, the whole team will The rhythm will come to a standstill!"
Hongmi agreed deeply, "It makes sense. At least the plane has explosive packs that can be used in the resource group. At the same time, it can be used by eating the incense burner buff, such as the snake girl's clockwork.
Core, the chosen one is the Earthbound Spirit, but instead he limits himself to the middle. The ones who will suffer must be his teammates! "In the later stages, the output capability of the Dharma core cannot be compared with that of traditional shooters, which means that the Dharma core is a trap!"
On the first day of the World Championship, Ryze and Rockbird, two heroes who can both deal damage and roam, emerged one after another and shined in the middle.
Even when EDG's 10,000 advantage against SKT was overturned in a comeback, the young boy's selection of Rock Bird in the early stage can help the team establish an advantage and increase its sense of presence!
On the other hand, Lee Sang Hyuk's clockwork, if it weren't for Olf's good team fight, it would probably not be effective in the whole game!
Song Jinghao followed the logic of his own jungle, "If the mid laner stops playing core and starts to take on more functional roles, the top laner will get more help...then the benefits of playing a tank will definitely not be as good. Just bring some!"
The more he talked, the more energetic he became, and he smiled brightly.
If the upper, middle and jungle want to link up, there must be a core to support it.
If the mid laner wants to roam, he cannot choose a magic core. If he is a tool player, he will definitely not be the core. Otherwise, if a Galio ice girl wears a damage output outfit and huddles behind in team battles, what does that look like!
Not to mention the jungle, if VG hadn't taken out the little yellow-haired jungler and kept Kind Jue as a three-step trump card, it would have been a pure herbivore paradise! Resources are limited, and conventional gameplay is not enough to support the jungler to go to C!
Then the top order can only be left to shoulder the core responsibility.
At least during the laning period, they must provide sufficient output, and after establishing an advantage, they can feed back their teammates through split-pushing from the side! Song Jinghao wished he could jump three feet high and celebrate.
Kuro also became excited, "Who cares about playing that broken B magic core? Tool talent is the romance of the mid laner!"
He is eager to drag all the opposing mid laners into the roaming support area, so that everyone can hang out together and serve as a foil for his teammates. "You're getting better, brother!" Li Ruixing was excited.
The VG training room and outside are filled with happy air. Just as happy as them is RNG.
On the first day of the group stage, the Royal Family easily defeated IMT. In the first 15 minutes, Xiangguo Yishou Prince managed to gank five times, completely treating the North American team like a toy!
The Guodian members were still unhappy when they returned to the hotel. Seeing the two brother teams all smiling, they felt uncomfortable. Abu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, trying every means to adjust the mentality of his team members.
The schedule of the group stage is too intensive, with three matches played in the first four days. If we fail to recover due to the loss in the first game, we may lose three games in a row and gain the national football BUFFI in advance, which is only theoretically possible to qualify.
This had nothing to do with Gu Xing. After finishing training, he returned to his room and planned to have a good sleep and recharge his batteries to prepare for the game against GAM the next day.
