"Welcome back to the studio, this is the scene in Busan, the second half of the first round of Group B on the second day of the 2018 Global Finals group stage, the game between IG and C9. Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan~"
"Hello everyone, I remember!"
"I am Zhou Shuyi~"
"This is the first game of IG's S8 global finals. Personally, I am more optimistic about IG~" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
Remember: "This year's IG only has two words, "invincible" okay! "
"I..." Sister Zhou started but was interrupted by two people.
"You don't have to say it, we all understand~" Remember to joke
Guan Zeyuan also said: "Now the global audience knows that you want to give birth to a monkey for Asuna, no need to explain~"
Thinking of the death scene she had staged last time, Sister Zhou's face suddenly turned red, "Ah! Stop teasing me."
"Okay, tell me then~"
Sister Zhou straightened her face: "Ahem, me too!"
"Let's not talk nonsense. In fact, the strength of the C9 team cannot be underestimated. After all, they are our old rivals."
"Yes, C9 is also an evergreen club in the S World Championship, and the European and American teams have given me a much stronger feeling in the past two days, especially the three teams in the European division!"
"I even think that there is not much difference between them in terms of frontal strength compared to us and the LCK. It's just that the stability of the players is a little worse."
"Sorry for digressing, but back to C9, although they are the third seed in North America almost every year, almost to the end, they will be the best team in their region~"
"So I think it would be a good thing for a veteran team like C9 to teach the young IG a lesson~"
I remember looking at Guan Zeyuan talking eloquently and laughing:
"What you said makes sense. IG is indeed a very young team, but their backbone Asuna is already an experienced player participating in the World Championship for the second time~"
I remember the smile on my face was meaningful: "C9's oil may be useful for other teams, but here in Asuna, playing with oil will cause big problems~"
Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but touch his face. He felt that the pain after being slapped in the face by Yu Hui was still there, and he said sarcastically:
"I just forgot, Asuna's playing style is really restrained by C9..."
C9's old-school style of play can indeed take advantage of inexperienced teams, but there are really not many teams that can really take advantage of IG by relying on oil.
IG can completely change the play style to give the top laner a big core in the late stage. After all, this play style of oil has another name, called Yangdai flow.
For other teams, you can raise your father first and then target him later. When facing IG, you raise a top laner and come out. Isn’t this just lighting a lantern in the toilet?
Sister Zhou changed the topic and said: "Okay! The BP on the spot has begun. Let's look forward to this game together!"
After the words fell, the camera turned to the live BP screen.
Any game involving IG will not attract too much attention. This game between IG and C9 is naturally highly anticipated.
The blue side's IG took the lead in banning people, sealing Shen, followed by Braum and Ornn.
Pressing down two top orders was a less common ban method in IG's previous BP.
C9 vaguely guessed something. The three bans were Akali, Sword Girl and Sword Demon. They pressed all the points that were difficult to restrain when taking off on the top lane.
In fact, Sword Girl Yu Hui rarely plays anymore, but unfortunately she is the owner of the champion skin. C9 has no doubt that her hero proficiency will be reduced.
And currently, in the S version, no one has figured out the popular version yet, so they can only BP according to the previous version. There is no problem with C9's idea.
"The bans on C9 are very targeted. Akali and Sword Girl are both playable in the mid-to-upper level on IG, and they are very respectable. Not to mention Sword Demon, Sword Demon~"
Guan Zeyuan touched his chin and analyzed C9's thinking, then looked at
Looking at IG's ban position, there was expectation in his tone: "In this game, IG will probably cause trouble on the road."
Sure enough, IG immediately locked Jess in one choice.
【Fight for a better tomorrow! 】
"Jace! He is IG's best swing pick. He can maximize the laning abilities of Rookie and Asuna. How will C9 deal with this hero?"
"Tauren plus Xia? This two-man lane choice is not bad. Braum is banned, and Tahm is very passive, so it is a better choice."
Sister Zhou was confused and asked: "Why doesn't C9 use the Xialuo combination?"
I remember explaining: "Svenskeren is a wild core player. C9 needs support in the front row. Xia Luo has a very low priority for them."
"That's it~"
After that, BP continued, and IG took the lead in supplementing Rock Bird and Kai'Sa, continuing to maintain a swing position.
C9 was not affected, and replaced the ball girl Syndra, a mid laner hero who is currently very popular among major teams.
The second round of bans went quickly. IG pressed Pig Girl and Nightmare, while C9 targeted Rookie, who was in the mid lane, and pressed Enchantress and Clockwork.
Obviously, C9 plays Jayce by default, and they should have some ideas to deal with it.
The lineups for both sides were quickly determined
IG: Top laner Jayce, jungler Rockbird, mid laner Galio, AD Kai'Sa, support Luo
C9: Top laner Urgot, jungler gunner, mid laner Shindra, AD Xayah, assist Niutou
Guan Zeyuan was a little stunned: "IG's lineup is very fierce. It should be played solo. After level 6, both Yanque and Galio can support the top lane."
I remember analyzing: "In this case, the pressure on Asuna and King Ning will be relatively high. The early rhythm points will all be on Ueno, but I am not too worried~"
"In general, I think IG's lineup should be more reasonable, which is the ultimate rush. This is very IG~"
IG's lineup didn't surprise everyone, and the same goes for C9. They didn't lose in the early game, and were very powerful on the backhand in team battles in the middle and late stages, which is very consistent with C9's characteristics.
The commentators in each major competition area were still analyzing the pros and cons of both sides' lineups, but when they entered the game loading interface, the LPL fans at the scene suddenly screamed.
I remember taking a closer look and exclaiming in surprise: "Jesse's ignition? This... this seems a bit too radical..."
None of Jace's units on the field can use Ignition, because the opponent usually uses teleport, and Jace can still suppress the line with teleport.
If you get caught with Ignite, you will collapse immediately if you have one less TP. In the early stage, you are one TP ahead of you and have experience and last hit, so there is no point in choosing Jayce.
"Jace's summoner skill belt is Flash Ignition, but his talent belt is... Phase Rush?"
Sister Zhou was a little confused. She had already brought the Ignite. The talent is equipped with Electrocution and Comet. It should be a normal operation, right? She didn't quite understand this aspect.
Guan Zeyuan was thinking on the sidelines, and he seemed to understand the benefits of Asuna's method: "The unsealing secret book brought by Urgot, this Jace C9 seems to be unable to control it!"
