The LPL fans at the scene cheered and cheered, and the momentum they erupted at this moment was no less than that of the LPL Summer Games.
The lights in the venue suddenly went out.
"Hello to all the Summoners present!" The unique-voiced Emperor Baoxiao stepped onto the center of the stage, raised the microphone with one hand, and waved it vigorously with the other hand.
"This is Gwangju, South Korea, and welcome everyone to the semi-finals of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals!"
Amidst the cheers of the eagerly awaited audience, Emperor Pao Xiao waited for the crowd to subside before continuing, "Now the journey to Busan has come to an end. There are only four teams left. The winners of the two contests will be Finally headed to Incheon to participate in today’s finals!”
"Let us first welcome the second seed from LPL, river up!" He waved his arms and drew out the final tone.
"Top laner Lemte, jungler Ning, mid laner cancelled." Emperor Xiaoxiao read out the players' IDs word by word, and then when he read RNG's star player Uzi, the audience below the stage welcomed him again. Warm applause and cheers.
As a frequent player in the global finals, Uzi goes against the traditional Korean adc style of play. His aggressive style and eye-catching play in the bottom lane have gained many fans and viewers from South Korea.
Hear your own name.
Jane proudly ate her chewing gum at a steady pace, waved her hands, smiled and greeted the audience below the stage.
After Emperor Pao Xiao introduced the rng players and head coach, he quickly adjusted his condition and kept his voice in a flexible state.
"The next person to appear is the 2017 global finals champion, the No. 1 seed team from lpl, invig!"
"They have not been subject to the usual curse of defending champions in the history of League of Legends. Today they are in a hot state, passing all the way, and once again launching an attack on the new year's championship as a dark horse!"
"Then we warmly welcome them again!"
"Top laner theshy, jungler fly, mid laner rookie, bottom laner jackeylove, assistant baolan and our triple crown coach kkoma!"
The five players all maintained their aloof and serious attitude. It can be seen to the naked eye that the players who were still smiling playfully looked much more serious than rng.
After all, for ig, every step they take now is related to whether they can continue Li Nian's heroic words on major platforms.
Now Li Nian's cold eyes revealed some fighting spirit.
Among the twelve players on the field, each one has a reason why he cannot lose. No one will give up in this game just because of their good relationship.
Everyone’s best effort is the greatest respect for e-sports and opponents.
on the other hand.
Now the lck team all took the bus back to the team to start their vacation, so there is no need to worry about someone in the venue breaking the network cable.
It really doesn't work.
It’s okay to get a King Card traffic.
The audience in the audience saw the tension between the two teams, and they waved the battle flags of both teams and continued to cheer.
"The game is about to start, let's look forward to this derby battle from the lpl division!"
The live broadcast signal was switched from the main stage back to the LPL commentary box.
"Welcome to the end of the semi-finals between ig and rng. I am your friend!"
"I'm Miller!"
"Director, it seems that we also commented on the game between SHR and OMG together," Miller said with a smile on his face, "This is also the second civil war in the history of LPL!"
The doll nodded wildly.
"Since the S-Games, the LPL has never had such a grand occasion. There are three LPL teams in the semi-finals!" Miller said and began to sigh with emotion, "If the LPL can win the audience again in today's game."
"Then we can hope to realize our dream of four championships in ten years and successfully surpass the LCK division!"
Wawa took over the topic, "Recalling the beginning, when our team faced ogn, we still thought that we would win if we could win one game, but now the competitive state of our division is obviously better than that of lck."
"What's more important is that the LPL teams are blooming. Not only the dark horse JDG, but also the rising knight's heart and the dark force OMG have gradually formed the top team in the LPL division."
Wawa and Miller have been commentators for many years, but this is the first time they can really stand on the stage and speak tough words.
Don't tell me how cool it is.
The team logos of ig and rng appeared on the big screen.
After the director compared the results of the two sides, Wawa received a reminder from the director in front, "Now that the players on both sides are ready, let us hand the screen to the ten players in front."
The bp panel is already in front of everyone.
"According to the hard-nosed comments made by the coaches of both teams before the game, rng got the first, third, and fifth priority to choose sides, and they won the blue side with a higher winning rate in the first game."
bo5 in.
In the first four games, whoever can score a key point in the red side's game will have a much higher chance of winning the entire bo5.
But...
Since kkoma became the coach of ig, with his extraordinary luck, he always brings some surprises to the team.
"rng disabled Akali first!"
Wawa stared at the information in his hand, "Prince Ning's Qinggang Shadow proficiency is no less than Brother Nian's. I guess they won't be able to ban Camille in the first three moves."
But kkoma didn't have any confidence and took the initiative to put Qinggang Ying in the ban position.
Although the rest of the team didn't know the strength of King Ning Camille, as a time traveler, Li Nian, this guy's Qinggang Shadow was a unique skill, and he could get the FMVP ability in Bo5.
After all, you have to respect your hand!
"The second banned position of RNG is given to Rookie's Syndra. This tactical intention is very obvious. If you want to cancel your account, you will be free to do things."
Miller began to analyze, "Looking at it this way, RNG probably wants to grab Galio to take over the middle lane first, and link up with King Ning's midfielder."
ig methodically followed the BP strategy before the game and banned the ice shooter that Uzi is good at.
Among the current functional ADCs, Uzi has a very narrow range of choices, and if the core hero is unable to appear, only Xayah or Kai'Sa can be chosen.
But facing a reckless man like ig.
RNG's head coach has suffered countless losses, but now he has suddenly realized that he has given Rookie Ice Girl the third-hand banned hero seat!
The hero Ice Girl is similar to Galio. They are both heroes who prefer to support and protect team battles.
Rookie was on the stage of today's global finals. After these two heroes were taken out, the degree of radiation impact on the jungle and side lanes ranked first in the entire mid lane.
The purpose of all rngs is clear.
Blocking Song Yijin to death naturally restricted Li Nian's extremely exaggerated early rhythm ability.
At kkoma's signal, Rookie immediately blocked King Ning's signature Kayn, releasing two powerful heroes, Xin Zhao and Liquor.
In today's game, King Ning's Kayn was used only a handful of times, but without exception he won all of them, becoming the unique skill of LPL with a 100% Kayn win rate.
During the eight-to-four game, his Kaiyin transformed into Lan Kai, allowing Ap to see what the health bar disappearing technique was.
Moreover, the hero Kayn is too flexible. Although his early jungle farming is relatively difficult, his ability to invade and bypass the field of view is indeed the top jungle hero in the league.
If King Ning were to get it, Li Nian's jungle area would probably also be disturbed and made a mess, which is obviously not in line with what IG wants to see.
After heart thought for a moment, he asked Yan Junze to lock the knife girl and prepare to shake it in his hand to confuse IG.
"Shall I go?" Jack was a little confused, "Cancellation and letme can still control the four sisters in the top lane, isn't it because they were selected?"
His face was full of doubts, and he was even thinking about whether King Ning wanted to use Dao Mei to fight in the jungle on a temporary basis.
After all, until the last time Riot urgently strengthened the ability of Dao Mei in the jungle, there was no callback and she has been able to appear in the jungle.
But reason told him that letting King Ning use it was still a bit far-fetched. First, King Ning had never won this hero in the regular season, playoffs, or even in the games before the global finals.
Even KK, which has collected countless data and information, is only for mid-to-high-level players.
"rng has a trump card." Li Nian raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself.
Why RNG lost to G2 in the previous life has always been an unsolved mystery. Some people say that Uzi Hongwen, others say it was due to the issue of account cancellation...
There are many opinions, but no one knows the actual situation.
But for rng in today's environment, they have suffered losses at the hands of ig many times, and now in the last contest between the two teams in 2018.
rng's training team must have been trying to eliminate the ig in front of them.
KKoma was pacing back and forth behind the players with a black notebook in hand, "Li Nian, what hero do you want to get?"
Today's Xin Zhao's Barrel Rockbird Lee Sin is still on the field, and the range of heroes that can be selected in the first round is very wide.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let me get the barrel."
"OK!
After locking down, KKoma locked down Jack again.
This move is not considered to be a ban and grab. After all, when it comes to Uzi's hero selection, he is always a hero who will be eliminated first.
"Wine barrel and end..." Miller quickly guessed ig's intention, "ig is to prevent the opponent from locking down the sword demon again on the second and third floors, so as to form two strong mid-to-upper teams with the sword girl. Swing position, after all, if you want to take Sword Demon, the jungle position must be supplemented by an ap hero."
In today's version that places infinite emphasis on jungle competition, the number of mage jungle heroes is very small. If the spider is forced to appear, it is very likely that the jungle will suffer heavily.
So ig locked the barrel, and there wasn't much of a problem.
But Heart also thought very clearly. After all, in order not to destroy the swing of Dao Mei, he could only take out the bottom duo when he couldn't choose Sword Demon.
"Kasha + Bull Head!"
Wawa is not surprised, "These are also the two heroes that rng has the most choice of bottom lane heroes now. Uzi's ability to take over the game after the three-piece set is obvious to all!"
"But..." Miller discovered Hua Dian, "The hero selection in the first three moves of rng is a bit too short."
"In a disadvantageous situation, it is impossible to defend the tower, and it is difficult to advance when the advantage is strong. I can only use ig to continuously join forces in the mid-to-late stage to gain an advantage. It is even said that winning the baron and gaining a minion bonus can advance the defensive tower."
"IG decisively locked in Tahm in the last round of the first round!" Miller praised in his heart, "The standard combination of Jin and Tahm will give them a lot of trouble when facing rng's rushing lineup!"
In the second round of BP, ig continued to target King Ning and blocked Xin Zhao and Yanque. In this case, only Olaf and the blind man were left for King Ning.
On rng's side, they continued to target Rookie's heroes, blocking Zuo Yin and Enchantress.
kkoma immediately locked Ryze down.
Heart also knows that Ryze in this hand is very likely to be locked for theshy on the top lane. After all, when it comes to hero selection in the middle and jungle, it is a bit difficult to do things with double AP.
In this case.
ig is equivalent to leaving the middle in the ter position.
The heart is a little irritable.
His original intention was to let ig lock down the midfield hero as soon as possible. He responded immediately, restricted ig's early and mid-term rhythm ability, and dragged the game into an area he was familiar with.
But KKoma seemed to see through him and didn't give him any chance at all.
Prince Ning frowned.
There are too few jungle heroes to choose from on the field now, and Sword Demon can't afford it without an AP jungle hero.
After thinking for a moment, he finally communicated with Yan Junze and decided to lock the Sword Demon down for the jungle.
Yan Junze himself got Kenan, who has good online abilities.
"IG finally got Jace for Rookie!"
The lineups of both sides are finally determined:
Blue square rng: top laner Kennen, jungler Sword Demon, mid laner Dao Girl, bottom lane Kai’Sa + Niutou.
Red square ig: top laner Ryze, jungler Barrel, mid laner Jace, bottom laner + Tahm.
"In this case, the problem of rng's short hand has not been solved," Miller began to analyze. "Their lineup has a very strong team fighting ability, and all five heroes are heroes that need to enter the field."
"As for ig's lineup, both poke and teamfighting abilities are not weak. It's really good to be able to get this overall system in the red team."
The audience cheered loudly for the team they supported.
It wasn't until the big screen showed the players' interviews that they began to watch the excitement of the LPL derby battle seriously.
The person who appeared in the shot was Prince Ning.
"The fate between me and this guy Fly is really deep..." Prince Ning smiled happily, "No matter whether you kicked me out of the starting lineup last year, or you will win every game this year."
He raised the corner of his mouth, "But today in this crucial game, I will prove to everyone who is the best jungler in the world."
This interview is over, Summoner's Rift has been loaded, and it has arrived at the Gwangju Women's University Gymnasium.
The ten heroes quickly bought their outfits and left the spring, standing towards each other.
"Both sides had a solid start. They didn't go shopping in the other side's jungle. They just stood in a long snake formation and defended around the jungle."
After all, the level 1 teamfighting capabilities of both sides are very weak. The abilities of the two auxiliary players, Tahm Kench and Niutou, are half as good as each other, so it is difficult for them to have much impact on the teamfight.
Before the whole army attacked, Li Nian stood in the grass and thought about the jungle planning for this game.
Theshy on the road may not be able to suppress Kennen in the early stage.
After all, today's Kennen generally wears a Dolan sword when going out, and Ryze's level 1 sword is incomparable in terms of skill damage and basic attack ability.
As for Jess in the middle versus Dao Mei, he is actually not very dominant. It is basically a 55-open situation.
The only ones with a slight lane advantage are Jin and Tahm.
After thinking about the jungle route, Li Nian began to communicate with his teammates.
"I'm going to brush from the top half down," Li Nian yelled in the team voiceover, "Jack, it's okay for you two to grab second, I'm going to go directly to the bottom lane and e-dodge to save people?"
After all, the clearing speed of the wine barrel is stronger than that of the sword demon. In this case, it is absolutely true.
In other words, even if Li Nian doesn't know the location of Sword Demon, he can still take advantage of the wine barrel and go to the bottom lane to gank after level 3.
