In the front, WE is accepting post-match interviews, and in the back, the V5 and IG teams have also entered the competition area to debug equipment.
The commentators for this round of BO5 are still the same three, Wawa, Miller and Longhair.
Wawa: "Everyone, welcome back, the next B05 will be IG versus V5!"
Changmao: "To be honest, V5's ability to reach the semi-final stage has exceeded most people's expectations. You must know that it only took about a month from the time Wolong single-handedly pulled this team together.
As a new team, I think V5’s current performance is a reassurance for fans.”
Miller: "Yes, I also hope that this V5 can continue to be a dark horse and reach the finals, but today V5's opponent IG is by no means an easy opponent to defeat! Rationally speaking, I would think IG has a greater chance of winning.
Some!"
Wawa: "Last season, IG began to burst out with huge potential in the middle and late stages, and just missed reaching the global finals. This season, while retaining the main lineup, IG finally waited for the potential newcomer JKL to come of age.
All the viewers must have seen how powerful IG is in its entirety. It’s not a shame, it’s really strong!”
Even the three commentators are so optimistic about IG, which shows how much potential the complete IG has.
At the German Cup scene, there were many fans supporting V5. After all, Wolong's cards were there, and several V5 players more or less had a group of loyal fans.
However, the number of fans of IG at the scene was not far behind. It can only be said that IG’s extreme operation is too attracting fans, and the power displayed has attracted many fans who have just fallen from the wall.
"Ah~~Jack, mom loves you!"
"Brothers, come on!"
"Brother Shai, go, go, go!"
"Shui Bao, I can really do it!"
Well, there seems to be something strange mixed into the slightly crazy cheering sound.
It has to be said that WE Bird's Nest winning the cup has a bit of a kick-off to the "first year of e-sports", attracting many cloud players.
Originally, WE was supposed to be the home ground of this group of cloud players, but unfortunately WE disintegrated at the speed of light, and these huge players naturally started a new business.
And IG just caught up with the time and got the first wave of fan bonuses.
Not long after, the equipment debugging was completed and the game officially entered the bp stage.
V5 has priority in choosing sides, and Zhuge Liang chose the red side.
Wawa: "Under the new version, although the BP pressure on the red side has become smaller, the advantage of the blue side is still obvious. Coach Wolong gave priority to the red side, so he must have some special plan."
Miller: "Each line of IG has excellent individual strength, which is the fundamental reason why this IG is strong. If you choose the red side, you can at least use the counter position to gain the initiative of one line."
Changmao: "I have counted IG's games since last season, and one of the statistics is quite special. IG's winning rate on the red side is very high. In other words, IG very much likes to counter with the backhand to ensure the laning advantage.
”
After some analysis by the three commentators, they guessed part of Zhuge Liang's considerations.
IG's three core position players are all among the best in terms of damage conversion rate, which means that IG's three C positions can stably deal good damage after receiving the economy.
The Trident tactic is based on this.
IG Pass usually ensures at least a counter option in the top lane or mid lane during the BP stage, thus creating a laning advantage.
Due to personal ability, even if the other person in the middle gets a hero with an even balance in the lane, there is a high probability that he can still have a small advantage.
The reason why King Ning has the jungle bible "Give me the entire weak jungler" is precisely because IG has placed its treasure on the mid-top in terms of BP, and must make sacrifices in other lanes.
However, IG's top-mid gain of BP tilt can usually ensure the laning advantage, which in turn also covers King Ning, giving King Ning room to cause trouble.
The one who really sacrifices the most is IG’s bottom lane, which often needs to play the role of resisting pressure in the lane.
IG's response method was also very rough. After the upper, middle and jungle triangle tactics opened the gap, the middle and jungle swim back to the pressure-resistant bottom lane.
If the tactics are executed smoothly, IG's trident will be able to take shape. Even if the development is a little slow, the equipment gap can still be made up through extreme groups.
To put it bluntly, IG’s Trident strategy is based on personal ability and the core is laning!
……
IG banned Ornn, Grasshopper and the female gun in the first three moves.
Applying the theory of Trident tactics, it is easy to see the intentions of these three hands.
The Ornn version is a strong hero. If V5 is selected on the road to resist pressure, Theshy will be uncomfortable in the lane.
In addition, Ornn will suffer some losses online, but he will still be very good in team battles. To a certain extent, this is a great way to deal with Theshy.
Grasshopper is the same guy. Even Faker is locked in by this hero. Rookie also doesn't want to see this hero.
The reason for banning the currently slightly OP female gun is to protect the bottom lane and prevent the lane from collapsing.
In the first three moves of V5, Zoe, Vampire and Jace were banned.
Zoe is also a strong hero in the version, and Wei Shen is currently playing averagely, so banning her will be the most worry-free.
As for Vampire and Jace, the reason why these two heroes are banned is not only because IG plays well, but more importantly because these two heroes can swing!
Audiences who have watched IG games must have seen IG's crazy swinging scenes. The principle is to use swings to ensure the counters on the upper and middle lanes.
By the way, the reason why the S8 IG was invincible in the previous life was that it benefited from the version bonus to a certain extent.
The more OP heroes at that time, such as Akali, Sword Girl, Jayce, and Lucian, all had the possibility of swinging from the middle to the top.
In addition, there are heroes such as Qinggangying, Vampire, Ryze, Sword Demon and so on in the overlapping hero pool of IG's upper, middle and jungle.
I would like to ask, how can you avoid having a headache when encountering IG’s enemy coach?
Later, IG suffered a serious decline. On the one hand, it was due to personal status, and on the other hand, it was also due to the version change. In order to gain an advantage in the lane, IG received a nondescript lineup.
I just don’t know, will Riot designers in this generation target IG in advance like they did with WE before?
Entering the pick stage, IG grabbed Kalista with one hand.
During the S7 Global Finals, the bp rate of skate shoes was almost 100%. However, after entering the new version, more and more teams began to release this hero.
Wawa: "The red side still suffers in terms of BP. Wolong's game didn't focus on skateboard shoes."
Miller: "This version of Kalista is not as strong as expected, so I think there is no problem in releasing it."
Changmao: "Perhaps Wolong has some unique insights?"
Seeing the skateboard shoes locked up instantly on the first floor of IG, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile.
Although there is a slight deviation in the world line, if IG chooses skateboard shoes, it may not necessarily mean that he will go down.
Lock down the Japanese girl and the prince on the first and second floors of V5.
On the second and third floors, IG will replenish the hairspring and bull head.
