In the blink of an eye, the opening game of the summer split has arrived as scheduled.
At the opening ceremony, Zhuge Liang, as the player representative of V5, appeared on the field for the first time as a player, which attracted cheers and screams from the audience.
The response was so strong that it was even higher than the two major brands of LPL in the past, Pig and Dog!
It’s not arrogant, but in terms of image alone, Zhuge Liang has a sense of standing out from the crowd.
In comparison, other professional players are just like a bunch of slovenly little brats, whose appearance, figure and even temperament are all inferior to Zhuge Liang.
Especially now that representatives of each team are standing on the stage together, Zhuge Liang has a slender figure, and his standing posture is as tall and straight as a green pine. His mental outlook is naturally stronger than that of many players who are not standing.
Well, it's a pity that RNG didn't let Xiaohu be the representative, otherwise General Tiger's real man stance would still be quite energetic.
In fact, Zhuge Liang originally planned to let the old thief come up for a formality.
Unable to hold back, the official insisted on taking advantage of the heat and asked Zhuge Liang to attend the opening ceremony as the team representative. Zhuge Liang reluctantly agreed.
The opening ceremony is over, and the opening match of the summer split is RNG playing V5.
RNG did not let Uzi rest in the first half of the season like the previous season, and then replaced Uzi in the middle and later stages of the league.
On the one hand, the competition in the LPL is becoming increasingly fierce, and RNG without Uzi is somewhat less interesting.
On the other hand, even if they lost to SKT again at MSI, for now, this year is still a very promising year for RNG, and Uzi plans to do his best for this.
V5 doesn't want to play any fancy games. Zhuge Liang simply comes on the stage and uses the strongest lineup to face RNG.
After all, Niu Bao is a newcomer. It would be too harsh to let him play last season's championship right from the start. If he does not perform well, he will inevitably bear a lot of pressure from public opinion.
Furthermore, everyone in V5 felt aggrieved after losing to RNG in the Spring Finals, including Zhuge Liang who also wanted to regain his position.
……
The two parties came on stage, and soon the equipment was debugged.
The game quickly entered the BP stage, with V5 blue side and RNG red side in the first round.
The pilot shot showed the "mascot" of V5 this season, which is the head coach Feng Chu on the surface.
Feng Chu was originally an assistant coach of V5, the kind of person who helped Zhuge Liang. However, this season, she changed her position and was supported by Zhuge Liang to become the head coach of V5.
My original monthly salary was several thousand yuan, but it suddenly doubled several times. The key work was still very easy, and Wolong was behind me in everything.
To be honest, this is simply the daily life of fishing that countless social animals dream of!
However, in terms of magic, LPL has something even more magical.
I don’t know what kind of enchanting soup Guodian poured into OMG’s boss, but it actually successfully sold its own pesticide coach to OMG, making a small profit during this transfer period.
Wawa: "Brother, I have seen it. The head coach always asks the players for instructions on everything, and he looks respectful. This is probably the first time, right?"
Miller: "It's not easy to be a phoenix. If you don't get some snacks, you'll end up in Fengpo."
Changmao: "If there is no Fengchu, there can still be Tsukatora, Bingjing, etc. No audience will think that Wolong becomes a player after the game, and V5's head coach will really be replaced by someone else, right?"
Zhuge Liang banned the crows when he came up, and RNG on the opposite side banned the vampires.
Since V5 once again started the magic core trend in the Spring Showdown, many bottom lane magic cores have appeared on MSI, especially crows and vampires.
Without him, these two heroes are so capable, they can play at any level.
On the contrary, the death song used by the old thief before is easier to target after preparation, and the swing range is quite limited.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang banned the reworked Sword Girl, and RNG also banned the reworked Sword Demon.
Riot designers really use their feet for balance. After the redesign, these two heroes are obviously stronger than supermodels.
Even though it has been weakened for several rounds now, it is still slightly strong.
Zhuge Liang also saw Akali in the redesign plan of Riot designers. The new Akali is expected to be launched in the second half of this season, and by then the visual inspection will be a mess.
At the end of the first round, Zhuge Liang thought for a while and gave the ban position to this version of the upstart rock bird in the jungle.
The designer may want to give the hero more ways to play, rather than sticking to a single position, which is very worthy of recognition.
However, the professional arena is different from the pub game. These heroes who can swing wildly leave too much room for the team to operate!
As long as the players' hero pools are highly overlapped, they can swing at will, which will have the effect of hard countering.
This also leads to the fact that the value of the red side on the fifth floor is far less than the value of the blue side on the first floor, and the difference in winning rate between the red and blue sides is quite obvious.
For BP coaches, this version is not friendly either.
A large number of strong heroes are firmly occupying the ban position, and it is almost difficult to leave extra positions to target the ban.
Either tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, or let them all go. Everyone should rely on their own abilities. The left and right coaches should take the blame in advance and everything will be over.
RNG finally banned Lucian in the first round.
Lu Xian understands everything.
Entering the pick stage, grab Kai'Sa on the first floor of V5.
At MSI, Uzi's Kai'Sa left many famous scenes. Even SKT didn't dare to let go. V5 decisively used grabbing instead of ban.
RNG’s signature nightmare that instantly locks the incense pot, and Sion, who can swing mid-up.
On the second and third floors, V5 has successively determined Bronn and Olaf.
RNG secured ADC first on the third floor, giving Uzi the increasingly skilled Xayah.
Entering the second round, V5 banned Luo and Niutou, while RNG banned Jayce and Qinggangying.
On the fourth floor, RNG continued to hide in the middle and upper, and first released an auxiliary Thresh.
V5 quickly locks the fourth and fifth floors, the Enchantress in the middle, and the new hero Pike!
Wawa: "Pyke? V5 already has Braum, so Pyke is not a support? Top laner Pyke, or jungler Pyke?"
Miller: "I didn't expect that V5 did a complete job for us in the opening game. The game is great now!"
Changmao: "Pike is too weak in the lane. Team battles basically rely on ultimate moves. Once he fails to kill him, he is basically an OB position."
RNG obviously did not expect that V5 would suddenly take out Pyke, and it was not Pyke in the auxiliary position.
On the final fifth floor, RNG thought carefully and added Ryze.
If V5 is top laner Olaf and jungler Pike, then RNG will let Thain go to the top lane to resist pressure and get beaten.
On the contrary, if V5 shakes Pike to the top lane, RNG will use Ryze to line up with him.
After both sides decided on the heroes, they playfully exchanged them non-stop.
Until the end, V5 moved Pike to the top lane, and RNG then switched Ryze to the top lane.
Wawa: "Ryze has long hands and the control of his W skill. It's very easy to beat Pike in a single line."
Miller: "As for the mid lane, Thain must be a little timid in the early stage. After leveling up and equipping him, Enchantress probably won't have much appetite for a Thain."
Changmao: "I feel that it is quite difficult to play Pyke alone in this hand. The lane is destined to be suppressed. In the mid-term, Nightmare will fly twice, or Thain will drive a few waves, and Pyke will basically be disconnected."
