SKT lost.
Faker also lost.
Although Faker's Clockwork showed enough resilience in the headwind situation, facing Rookie, Syndra, who was nurtured by Li Fu, he was no longer Rookie's opponent in single-player or team battles.
Under the lens of the big-screen director, it was almost visible to the naked eye that a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Faker's forehead.
In SKT's team chat, the man's words became increasingly dense, and he even took over the command of the game from Wolf at one point.
However, after every long speech, SKT's voice would often fall into a deadly silence.
At this moment, everyone, including Faker, was silent.
Because Faker was seized by Rookie's Syndra and used a combo of moves to kill him instantly with seven goals.
This is equivalent to charging on the battlefield. There is a commander who keeps beeping, and then suddenly he is shot dead.
Naturally, no matter whether they wanted to laugh or cry, everyone could only choose silence.
Until it dies in silence.
“Congratulations IG!”
"Congratulations to IG for winning one against one!"
"What can I say about this game? I can only say that Rookie proved with his strength that IG's mid laner is no worse than anyone else."
The commentators on the stage also began to sigh with emotion.
At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room and IG fans also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay to let two people chase three. It's okay to beat a weak team, but on the stage of the World Championship against a strong team like SKT, once IG loses the first two games, it will be a fantasy to let two people chase three later. .
"It's okay, it's okay! It's stable now."
"Heizi, what are you talking about? Who said Rookie can't do it? Isn't he just going to kill your father, Feike?"
"Are you laughing? A solo kill? Not a wild gang?"
"Oh! If you don't allow me to be caught when I'm playing mid lane, then didn't your flying daddy help out in the last game?"
"Indeed, but let me tell you, Brother Fu's rhythm is really good."
"That's right, Brother Fu should stay in the jungle instead of playing top lane."
"Brother Fu's top laner is not as strong as his jungler, but he can only be as strong as one lane as a top laner. When he plays as a jungler, it feels like the entire team is suddenly revitalized."
"."
In fact, not only the audience off the court, but also IG's coach Chris had already discovered this.
But Li Fu’s top laner has to practice.
why?
Because if you play against some teams with a strong top laner, a problem will arise, that is, you will find that after the top laner is finished helping, he not only has no advantage, but may even be at a disadvantage.
You know, although the top laner is not like the mid laner who can radiate the entire field, it is still an absolutely important position.
In a game, if the mid laner is the pivot, then the top laner is the backbone.
If the backbone is broken, it will basically be difficult for the team to win, so Li Fu really needs to be retained as a top unit. However, playing SKT today is a different situation.
Because SKT’s top laner is not Marin from last year.
But the successor Duke.
Thinking of this, coach Chris patted Li Fu decisively on the shoulder.
"Brother Fu, you should be the jungler in the next game."
"no problem."
So, the break ended and the third game began.
Li Fu once again appeared in the jungle position.
In this game, SKT chose to make substitutions in the jungle position.
The stupid chicken was replaced by Xiao Hei.
Because Coach Leehom watched Benji's game last time and sensed the problem with Benji, that is, this player can only achieve others. Once he is pulled over by the person he achieved, he will never be able to compete by himself.
But Xiaohei and Benji are at the other extreme.
Xiao Hei is a jungler who can stand alone.
So in the third game, SKT's dunking coach decisively attacked Xiao Hei, who had been gearing up for a long time.
However, what I didn't expect was that Shang Xiaohei would lose faster.
In the last game, SKT lasted at least twenty-nine minutes, and it took nearly half an hour to end.
But after Xiao Hei came on, the game only lasted less than 25 minutes.
Backstage, ROX's lounge.
"Blank plays too hastily and wants to express himself too much."
The coach of ROX said noncommittally, "It's embarrassing that his current level is just at a stage where he is neither above nor below. His offensive nature in the jungle is better than that of a stupid chicken, but his ability to protect people is much worse than that of a stupid chicken. When he encounters an opponent, But his jungler is okay, but it’s not good enough when facing an MSI championship-level jungler like Padre6.”
Speaking of this, the ROX coach shrugged and said, "So if it were me, I would definitely not make a substitution."
"What do you say?" asked an assistant teacher next to him.
"I think Xiao Hei is really not as good as the stupid chicken." ROX coach shook his head. "The stupid chicken can't beat Padre6 in a matchup, but at least he knows who the big brother is. Xiao Hei can't beat Padre6 in a matchup and doesn't know who he is. It’s my brother, if a jungler like this comes on the field, who will lose if SKT doesn’t lose?”
Everyone couldn't help but think for a while after hearing this.
Suddenly, someone asked again, "Do you think the coach will replace the stupid chicken in the next game?"
"I think there's a high probability that it won't happen."
"Why?"
"Because if you put on the stupid chicken again, SKT's pants will be seen through. Now they can only go to the dark side."
"."
It has to be said that ROX, as the overlord of the LCK this summer and the No. 1 seed of the LCK in this World Championship, has won consecutive games and locked the team in the finals of this World Championship.
The predictions made by his team's coach are still quite accurate.
After SKT lost in the third game, in the fourth game, even though they lost head-on in the jungle position in the previous game, the player in this game was still not the stupid chicken, but Xiaohei.
When he came on stage, Xiao Hei pursed his lips, and his expression lost the excitement of the previous game.
At first glance, it seems that it is full of pressure.
Looking at Faker, there was no man standing behind him for two consecutive games, and his expression was a little unnatural. He turned his head several times to look at the jungle position, and soon looked away after realizing that he was not a familiar person.
In this game, IG won two games, and the life and death game officially began.
Rookie got the clockwork, Prince Li Fu.
Faker and Xiao Hei are a combination of enchantress and spider.
It has to be said that from the perspective of the lineups on both sides, IG emphasizes the cooperation of the middle and jungle.
Looking back at SKT, in the last game, Xiao Hei chose a prince who could cooperate with the mid laner. This time, he was directly a spider, and Faker also locked the Enchantress. These two heroes competed entirely for their personal abilities.
If their personal abilities are strong enough, they can forcefully open up a breakthrough from the opposing players by fighting independently.
It's a pity that IG does the opposite. It doesn't compete with your personal ability, but directly competes with the midfielder for cooperation.
In the early stages of the game, Xiao Hei relied on Spider's ability to duel in the jungle and was able to invade several times frequently.
But once he reached level six, he was turned over and killed by Rookie during the invasion. Xiao Hei's rhythm was interrupted, and Li Fu's prince quickly gained momentum and then directly counter-invaded.
Of course Xiao Hei was not convinced.
He felt that Li Fu could beat him with one head.
After all, this is where Spider's duel ability lies.
However, Li Fu never fights alone. Every time he pretends to invade the opposite jungle area, then pretends to be discovered, and finally pretends to drag the gun away. But as long as the spider dares to bite him, there will be someone behind him.
Either mid laner, support, or both.
Just like that, ten minutes later, Xiao Hei's jungle area was blasted through, but Prince Li Fu's side was playing smoother and smoother, and he quickly spread his advantage to three lines.
After 20 minutes of the game, IG started to force the team.
Although Rookie failed to find an opportunity like Faker in the first game, he flashed R through the wall and soared.
But he has the cooperation of the prince.
A sudden wave of dribbling came into the field, directly pulling the opponent's double C, and after an instant kill, he won the team battle and took down the baron.
Immediately, amidst the early cheers of countless LPL fans, they made steady progress and steadily destroyed the two highlands. Immediately, a wave of team battles on the highlands took away the three opponents, leaving only Zhongye Spider and Enchantress.
The problem is that neither hero is easy to clear.
That's it.
After IG broke through three lanes, they took advantage of the middle and lower super soldiers to come up and drove straight in to break two incisor towers in a row.
Immediately, the three SKT players were resurrected one after another, and Houya Tower took over.
SKT was very powerful in this wave, playing a wave of one for four, but it's a pity that IG has a "divided slave" here.
I saw Li Fu's Prince EQ crossing the opposite crystal. Wherever there was a fight, he EQed to the other side. He even covered it to attract people to flash and continue. In the end, relying on the attack speed of the E skill, he forcibly demolished SKT's Main crystal.
"Damn it! We're in the finals!"
"Brother Fu is awesome!"
"I'm also very powerful this time, okay?"
"Okay, okay, you are awesome too!"
Everyone at the IG game was excited.
Rookie won today's SKT despite the headwind of public opinion and defeated his inner demon Faker. He originally thought he would be very excited, but he turned around and glanced at Li Fu who was looking calm.
Suddenly, he felt that he was not so excited again, but what Li Fu said to him after losing the first game came to mind.
"Do you believe me?"
"Next game, I will play jungle."
Next.
Everything falls into place naturally.
Rookie breathed a sigh of relief slowly, with a relieved smile on his face.
