May 30th!
Today is the day of the MSC semi-finals. The first game is ig, the second place in group a, against dwg, the first place in group b.
With the cheers of the audience, the screen came to the main arena, and the large screen in the center was playing the pilot video of the dwg and ig players.
Rookie: "Today I have to face Showmaker. He is a very good player, but I think my laning is not bad."
...
nuguri: "The shy has always been a top laner that I admire, and he is also an offensive player like me. I am eager to compete with him to find my shortcomings, and I will go all out for this!"
...
After the pilot film ended, the three commentators in the commentary box were fully in place.
Doll: "Hello everyone! I am Doll!"
Cat King: "Hello everyone, I am Cat King!"
kid: "Hello everyone, I'm the commentator kid!"
As soon as this man appeared, the barrage immediately began to flood the screen with the words 'filial piety, filial piety, filial piety'!
And with him here, ig's games can always be more fun.
Just after seeing ig's starting lineup, the commentator fainted.
the shy, ning, rookie, puff, southwind!
"Where's Cocoa? Where's my Cocoa?"
"Bullying, this is proper team bullying!"
"That's right, I fought well before, why didn't I let him in?"
Naturally, Lin Ruoke saw the barrage of questions. As for where she saw it.
...in the lounge...
Lin Ruoke, who was wearing a team uniform, took an ibuprofen and drank a sip of hot water.
The screen on the opened mobile phone is the match that is taking place at this time.
Faced with the questions raised by the barrage, Lin Ruoke did not answer, nor did he let ig announce it.
After all, some private things are hard to talk about, so let IG take the blame for me.
Besides, her position is originally a substitute. Isn't it normal to not play?
For this reason, Lin Ruoke adjusted the backrest of his seat and prepared to watch the game in peace.
Fortunately, even if she does not play, ig, which has recovered its form, is still a first-class strong team.
And the msc semi-finals and finals have a very interesting rule, that is, the first game of bo5 will adopt a blind selection mode.
This means that both sides cannot choose a lineup to overcome by observing the opponent's lineup, and can only conduct blind drafts by studying the opponent's lineup.
Or, each team can choose its most representative lineup and compete against each other.
IG did not hesitate and directly came up with top laner Kalista, jungler Troll, mid laner Syndra, bottom laner Verus, and assistant Thresh's purely looking for opportunities to fight lineup.
DWG seems to have predicted that ig will choose Kalista, so it came up with a jungle core operation lineup of top laner Monkey, jungler gunner, mid laner Silas, bottom laner Aphelios, and Japanese female assistants.
As a result, it turned out that there was a reason why dwg was eliminated in the group stage in history.
In the early stage, Niu Guli seemed to be too excited to see Teacher Shy. At the second level, he looked at the grass and went up to hit him hard.
As a result, Ning didn't care about martial ethics, so he came up with a first-level and second-level catch, and directly gave the shy a first-blood draw.
This wave...this wave is a duel between Shi Yi and Shi Er. Big brother, don't laugh at the second brother!
It can only be said that it is a pity that Niuguli's jungler is not Ning.
What? After level six, monkey is the nemesis of all long hands?
Then in front of Kalista who has first blood in hand, he must be able to reach level 6...
The shy, who was not a human being, directly crossed the line of troops and pressed the enemy, forcing those who wanted to invade to abandon the jungle and come up for support, and used Kalista's flash.
But who would have thought that as soon as his front foot left, Ning came again, waiting for the monkey who did not dodge to hand W first, and then handed the pillar back to cooperate with Calista to complete the kill again.
As for what happens next, it's much simpler.
After Kalista was liberated, he directly led the way, and ig won the blind selection game.
When the game entered the normal game, dwg selected the blind monk jungler, and seemed to want to fight ig.
But ig took out the wine barrel with his backhand and continued to play!
The results ultimately proved that dwg was still slightly inferior to ig in terms of fighting, and ig effortlessly won the match point 2:0.
After summing up the failure, dwg returned to wild core.
This time the team showed enough respect and directly pushed Syndra from the middle to protect the male gun jungler.
In the end, he responded to the trust of his teammates with a 7-2-9 male gun, and now the world's number one jungler has emerged.
At this point, the game reached 2:1.
Seeing such a scene, Jin Xiangzhe couldn't sit still.
Because the jungle core rhythm of this one can be said to be a crushing of Ning, even if they got a strong troll, they were directly beaten to a record of 0-4. In the 40-minute game, the last hit was completely suppressed. 190 dollars!
It can be said that once DWG regains its feel, it will be fatal for IG.
The fact that Ning does not play wild core also leaves a lot of BP space for dwg, and even dares the blue side to grab Syndra's male gun.
Knowing that this was not going to work, Jin Xiangzhe quickly asked Coco who was standing aside, "Are you feeling better?"
Lin Ruoke: "Want to join the war? You can do it at any time. I'm fine."
Hearing this, Jin Xiangzhe nodded. Even if Coco's health is not very convenient now, he won't be able to care so much when necessary.
So after everyone from ig came back, Jin Xiangzhe immediately announced the news: "You have worked hard in the competition. Next time, you can take a rest and let Coco play."
ning: "..."
He was silent in a rare moment. Even though he had already recognized Coco's strength, the arrogance in his heart made it difficult to accept that he was replaced again and again.
So this time, Ning gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "I am responsible for losing this round, but coach, let me do it again, I can also play jungle core!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in ig was stunned for a moment, obviously they didn't expect that Ning would say such words.
After Jin Xiangzhe thought about it for a while, he comforted him: "Ning, the game now is very critical!"
Ning: "It doesn't matter. I'm never one to be affected by failure. Let me try again!"
As soon as his answer came out, Jin Xiangzhe understood his determination.
After all, disobeying the coach's substitution decision after losing the game is basically equivalent to issuing a military order.
If they fail again in this game, ig's situation will be in danger, and at the same time, Ning will probably have to be benched in the future.
But...what Kim Sang-cheol wants is this courage.
Jin Xiangzhe agreed: "Okay, then you can play again. As for Coco...can I play the mid lane?"
Lin Ruoke: "Mid laner... That's fine too."
After all, the problem in the previous game was not just Ning's. Showmaker suppressed Rookie in the middle, resulting in Ning's jungle having no support. This was one of the reasons why ig lost the jungle.
But it’s not Rookie’s fault, because he was born in 1997 and is now 23 years old, so he is an older player.
Although Rookie pinned Showmaker to death in the middle in the first two games, once a protracted game like bo5 started, he would be a little powerless in the subsequent games.
And this is the so-called 'suffering the old man'!
Back then, v5 won first place in the regular season under the leadership of Rookie and Rich, but as a result, it became a bo5 in the playoffs.
Even in the famous battle of S8, even though Rookie was still online, there was a famous scene in the fifth game where he forgot to buy equipment.
This is a manifestation of the inability to maintain one's ability to fight for a long time as one ages.
The key to Rookie is that he is a team player like doinb and Xiaohu. He is still a typical operational player who refuses to accept the old.
That aggressive style of play will be fatal if a mistake occurs due to inability to concentrate.
Fortunately, the situation is different now. With Coco, Rookie can occasionally take a break during a protracted game. This does no harm to him, but can keep him in top condition at all times.
And this is also a new usage that ig has developed in Cocoa.
