"Congratulations to IG, for winning their second BO5 victory in this game," the accent I remember was full of joy, "Now there is only one BO1 left before they advance to the semi-finals!"
The corners of Zeyuan's mouth began to rise unconsciously, "Now we can take a sip. There has never been a scenario in the global finals where two players chase three players."
I remember a sudden chill running down my spine.
Ruined!
Because he was too happy, he failed to guard Guan Zeyuan alone. If this poisonous milk went down, IG would not be able to directly create history and become the first team to be beaten from two to three.
"Teacher Zeyuan, don't be like this." I remember looking serious, and at the same time, I wanted to use Lin Zhengying's righteousness to dispel this poisonous milk. "Opening champagne at halftime is not a good thing. We still have to win the game completely. You can’t start celebrating until you take it down.”
I remember that trying to defend Zeyuan without any blind spots was a complete fantasy.
Faced with the skills of Colonel Guan, no two people had time to prepare.
While the two were secretly fighting each other, the commentators in the LCK division next door were already busy.
Especially today is the last LCK team's hope on the stage. If they lose, they will completely lose their hope of winning this year.
Faker, who was invited to commentate on this game, looked uncomfortable, "I think if KT continues to use the tactics of the first two games without changing the formation to take advantage of the advantages, then it will only be a matter of time before they lose the third game. "
"To be honest, we should have been prepared before the game," Roaring Emperor shook his head. "The picks KT won this year are not good ones."
"Yeah, they were second in the group stage and failed to beat EDG in the same group, which is why they met IG in the quarterfinals."
1/3 probability.
As the No. 1 seed in the LCK, in addition to last year's LZ, if they are also eliminated this year, they will completely refresh the worst record in the LCK.
The three commentators looked at each other and sighed silently.
Their LCK has always been arrogant. Except for the Internet Cafe League in S1 and S2, they have dominated the League of Legends project for 4 years since S3.
But this year.
No matter which World Championship, they all fell under the iron heel of the LPL, and even the LCK teams that entered the finals ended up being crushed.
"I can only say," Lee Sang Hyuk silently adjusted his glasses, his eyes shining brightly, "If KT and these veterans can show their backbone, they must at least lose standing."
Roaring Emperor held on to the headset and looked serious, "We received the latest news from the scene, KT will replace the mid laner!"
"Going to Pawn?" Lee Sang Hyuk was a little surprised, "His old injury has not fully recovered, and he has only played a handful of games this year."
Faker, who has been playing against Pawn all year round, knows the physical condition of the fat general best, and this crucial game will be brought to the fore.
Is it really effective?
"Pwan doesn't have many training matches." Roaring Emperor knows the situation of the club. "He is currently much worse than Ucal in terms of age and condition."
Although Pawn was known as the Sea of Heroes during the S5 era, three years later, version changes have restricted many of his heroes.
He is good at the revised Sword Girl and Sword Demon, which means that mage heroes such as Enchantress and Syndra are his real names.
The three commentators did not understand the idea of changing the mid laner in the life-and-death game until the end. "It is better to wait for the last game to confirm KT's tactics and see the results."
IG lounge.
"We performed very well in these two games. We will try to win the next game with all our strength," Kkoma began to emphasize. "Don't give your opponents opportunities, otherwise they will be dragged into their familiar rhythm and it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
After saying this, he looked at Rookie and said, "In the next game, Pawn will be on the opposite side. He is also your old rival, but judging from his condition, he shouldn't be able to compete with Ucal."
Rookie nodded.
When he first came to IG and Kakao to mine coal, EDG's mid laner was the popular Fat General. Now three years later, they are fighting again on the stage of the World Championship.
Rookie was a little sleepy at first, but now she woke up immediately.
The atmosphere in the room was very relaxed. After everyone took care of their personal hygiene, Mafa also said a few words. It wasn't until Vincent knocked on the door that they moved towards the top of the stage.
"Would you like to stop taking a look at this stadium?" Li Nian signaled to his teammates, "After the next game, we will leave Busan completely!"
In the semi-finals, they will move to Gwangju and leave the city where they have been for half a month.
"It's nothing!" Jack chose to forgive his teammates, "If Brother Nian you still want to stay in this stadium longer, I'll just give you two more kills in the next game."
"That's okay." Li Nian nodded cooperatively, "If you don't lose this game, let's see how I deal with you later!"
Jack immediately became timid.
Before the camera was pointed at him, he stuck out his tongue and made a face at Li Nian.
Everyone laughed and walked back to the players' bench, and the spotlight and applause once again surrounded them.
When they first took the stage at the venue, many Korean audience members were full of ill will and made many unpleasant boos.
But now.
With IG's non-procrastinating and very bloody competitive performances, they have become aware of it again.
Originally, League of Legends was not a game that ended at 0:0 in 40 minutes. It could still be played like this.
"Welcome back to the first game of the eight-to-four knockout round of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals. IG currently leads KT 2:0!"
Remember to briefly introduce the first two games of the two sides, and then inform the viewers who are watching the LPL channel about the changes in the players participating in this game.
"Actually, to be honest, KT's substitution is a bit confusing to me," Zewon said. "I think Ucal is obviously better in terms of status and strength."
I remember to analyze it from another angle, "As we all know, Pawn has played for our EDG team in the LPL and won the first MSI championship. He has analytical experience on the court, and he has great experience with Mata. , Deft, these two old Samsung teammates have an inexplicable fit."
When KT was established last year.
They are known as the Galaxy Battleship of LCK, but due to running-in problems and Pawn's physical problems, they did not rush into the World Championship to obtain a spot.
And this year.
Due to the influence of the version, this team gradually showed their fangs and successfully won the LCK summer championship as a strong team.
"But..." Zeyuan shook his head, "Even if KT replaces the mid laner, it won't solve much of the problem. On the contrary, it will hinder the tactical arrangement."
The two commentators expressed their opinions, and the clear and loud BP opening sound resounded throughout the audience.
"In this game, IG continued to get the blue side through priority side selection, and first disabled Thresh!"
I remembered and smiled, "It seems that IG doesn't want Mata and Score to merge. Without this version of auxiliary heroes, Mata's strength will be greatly reduced."
Thresh is also known as a command support.
The use of lanterns is the key. Not only can it help teammates retreat, but it can also lead heroes who can start a team to rush directly into the face of the opponent's key player.
Sapphire's Thresh is too mediocre to use. Facing KT's strength, it is easy to make mistakes under high pressure and the team falls into Mata's design.
The director of the event also specially showed the face of the Korean giant quail.
Mata's aggrieved expression appeared in front of viewers all over the world who were watching the live broadcast simultaneously. During the entire BO5, he didn't get the hero he was good at, which really made him feel a little angry.
If you have the guts to release my hero, I will let you know what cruelty is!
KT continued to follow its previous tactics and continued to ban Ryze, who could swing up and down.
After all, both Jiang Chenglu and Rookie are extremely proficient in this hero, especially Jiang Chenglu who can almost kill everyone with this hero.
Without any surprise, IG's second ban position was given to Niutou.
Continue to lock the Korean Big Quail on the bench.
Mata didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. She held her glasses frame and showed a thoughtful expression under the gaze of the director's camera.
KT's coach is still discussing the ban with the players.
"Should we block Luo, or should we snatch Xia Luo first and then give the position to Qinggang Ying?"
Qinggangying must occupy a position on the red side. Although the KT coach made a suggestion, it was actually just talking to himself.
He doesn't want to give Li Nianfang Qinggang a shadow anymore. Facts have proved that the top junglers in the LCK team who can enter the World Championship have all been taught a lesson by Fly's Camille.
This lesson.
That’s a whole year!
"After KT banned Brother Nian's Green Steel Shadow, IG responded by actively banning Enchantress, which seemed to be a tribute to the Fat General!"
"KT also continued to block Brother Nian's hero pool and put Xin Zhao in the banned position!"
The spectators in the stands have long been accustomed to this.
But in this case, strong mid-to-upper heroes such as Jace, Sword Girl, Sion, Urgot, and Sword Demon are all outside.
I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
"Let's grab the knife girl first." Kkoma discussed with the team members and decided to start swinging in the first move. "You can play both Rookie and Theshy. You can decide based on the opponent's lineup."
Now Xia Luo is still outside, but whether Urgot and Sword Demon should be selected has become a nerve-wracking question for KT coach.
Urgot's effect in the first two games was not very good, and he did not have the advantage he wanted online. If he was chosen rashly, he would not be able to win a team fight at a disadvantage.
After thinking for a moment, KT finally decided to lock Luo and Jayce down, which would at least ensure a strong position in the midfield and upper jungle.
"The second and third choices. IG has locked Sword Demon and Kai'Sa! These are two very good hero choices at the moment."
Remember to say truthfully, "In this case, Brother Nian will need to supplement the AP heroes in the jungle, otherwise it will be difficult for the Chopper team to deal with KT's front row."
At present, it seems that this is indeed a good mid-top combination. Kai'Sa in the bottom lane only needs to wait for the team fight and follow the mid-upper and jungle brothers to deal damage.
"Let's see what KT will take in their last choice?"
Now that Jace is in the top-middle swing position, and on the red side, they have the counter position on the fifth floor, and the swing effect will be better.
Speaking of the third move, in addition to providing support, they first locked down the jungle hero.
At Score's request, he locked the rock bird down.
Although his usage rate of Rock Bird is not high this season, after all, in terms of IG's lineup selection, Rock Bird is undoubtedly the best darling in the jungle.
The ability to seal off the style battlefield, having assistants like Sword Girl and Sword Demon at the same time makes the police very sad.
so.
Although this choice of grabbing instead of banning is a bit reckless, it is the best option at the moment.
"Both sides began to ban unselected positions. KT banned Spider and Snowman, while IG banned Crab and Akali."
Jack will most likely take out the Fat General and use it.
After all, now that Enchantress is banned, the only hero who can use heroes online to gain a laning advantage is Jace.
not to mention.
It is also equipped with a control and poke hero like Yanque. This kind of consumption ability in the middle and jungle is definitely top-notch.
"The opponent didn't ban Xayah?" Nowadays, in terms of ADC hero selection, Xia Luo's partner is undoubtedly the best choice, but IG didn't know what points to draw, and actually forgot to ban the hero Xayah in the second round.
After Kkoma witnessed KT's hero selection, he slowly raised the corner of his mouth and asked Jack to lock down the female tank, and then walked to Li Nian.
"Choose an AP jungle hero."
I frowned today and kept flipping through the choices of mid lane heroes.
After all, after the four AP jungle darlings of Rock Bird, Spider, Yeti and Wine Barrel are no longer available, his options will be very limited.
Death song?
The brush hero's rhythm is too slow. Facing the invasion of the opponent's rock bird, he does not even have the ability to fight back. The back of his head will be smashed by rocks.
Ike?
After all, Ekko is an assassin hero. When facing KT's lineup, it is difficult to have room to perform.
and
In the middle, she is still a knife girl who keeps pushing the lane. If Ekko is added, she will not have any stable control skills.
The countdown is about to end.
Kkoma was just about to help Li Nian choose a hero when he heard him suddenly say, "I'll take the Widow. This hero can cooperate with teammates to enter the field!"
Kkoma frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement and ordered Baolan to lock down the widow maker.
When the scarlet avatar appeared in the hero selection box, not only the audience below the stage took a breath, but also the audience in the commentary box and live broadcast room were stunned.
"Widow? What kind of god is Brother Nian going to ask for?"
"What kind of god? A newbie who just joined the trap last year can't understand it."
"I'll explain it to you. Mingkai played Widow in the last critical game of BO5 at MSI in 2015, and EDG became the hero to defeat SKT in the World Championship for the first time!"
"I'll go. Can Brother Nian know how to play Widow? I've been watching games for ten years, and I haven't seen Brother Nian win this hero even in ranked games."
I have to say, the barrage is really awesome.
After Li Nian took down the hero, barrage instantly swept across his screen.
Pawn on the other side was lost in thought, and the stories between the EDG team and those people kept flashing before his eyes.
He raised the corners of his mouth, and a light suddenly appeared in his originally dim eyes, "Ming Kai, are you okay?"
The head coach of KT was laughing his head off.
Widow, what pig-nosed hero?
IG is really dizzy, right?
"Get me a Sion." Smeb asked for the hero, "I can survive on the road."
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue side IG: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Widow, mid laner Sword Girl, bottom lane Kai’Sa + female tank.
Red square KT: top laner Thain, jungler Rockbird, mid laner Jayce, bottom laner Xia + Luo.
