Chapter 426: Wolong still has the unique skill of sealing?
The short offseason has passed in the blink of an eye, and the quarterfinals of the global finals have begun.
FNC faces V5!
The knockout round is different from the group stage. There are often teams that are slaughtered like pigs in the group stage, only to be transformed after entering the knockout round.
As a veteran powerhouse in Europe, FNC’s heritage cannot be underestimated.
That year, EDG achieved an unprecedented "4:0" score by FNC, which is the best case.
The roster was announced before the game. After sitting out the entire group stage, Wolong appeared on the field of this global finals for the first time.
This can't help but make LPL fans feel at ease, and at the same time, they are looking forward to this round of BO5.
"Wolong holds the line, V5 is stable in this round of knockout from eight to four."
"Although Niu Bao and Lasha performed well in the group stage, compared to Wolong's debut, they always feel a little less interesting."
"It's an honor for FNC to lose, but at least they pulled Wolong from the bench."
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. When I saw Wolong, I was very sure that the V5 was not inflated."
“I don’t know what heroes Wolong will use, Jimei guys, please come out and choose the champion skin.”
"As long as it's my husband's champion skin, even Urgot looks cute to me, so just buy it and that's it!"
……
As usual, there will be an opening ceremony before the knockout rounds.
After the opening ceremony, there will be a pre-match promotional video starring the two teams tonight.
"Some people have overestimated the gap between the teams in the knockout rounds. The teams that have reached this point are very close in strength. Everyone has a chance to win the championship. I believe the gap has become smaller, and now it is our turn to take a big step.
Moving forward!"
"Advancing to the knockout rounds is just the beginning. Unless we can go all the way to the championship, why are we here?"
"Every year when I watch the award ceremony, I hope it's me on the stage. In order to realize this dream, I will do my best."
"Last year, the LPL ended the dominance of the LCK without being favored. It's our turn this year!"
It can be seen that FNC is worthy of being the team of the past kings. Even facing the recognized strong team V5 this year, FNC still maintains sufficient confidence.
Never underestimate the heart of a championship!
"The last time I participated in the global finals, I left too many bad memories. I will not make the same mistakes again this time!"
"Compared with the desire to win the game, V5 will not lose to any team."
"As the No. 1 seed in the LPL, would it be ridiculous if V5 were eliminated in the quarterfinals?"
The response from everyone in V5 was powerful. First of all, the momentum was not as strong as that of the dwarves.
At the end of the promotional video, Zhuge Liang, who was confirmed to appear on the stage, was "acting mysteriously" to cast a psychological shadow on FNC in advance.
"Some viewers boast that I am the world's best Kalista, the world's best Irelia, the world's best Lucian..."
"To be honest, I deserve it. After all, I know my own strength very well."
"The heroes mentioned by the audience are nothing more than choices made to cater to the version."
"The unique skill of pressing the bottom of a box, which I consider myself to be the best, is still sealed!"
The audience at the scene and even in the live broadcast room were in an uproar. They thought Wolong was being modest, but they didn't expect him to pretend again in the end.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the truth.
Wolong's hero pool is bottomless, and it is rare to see him obsessed with a certain hero, and he has never publicly stated which hero he is.
It would be terrible to say that behind Wolong’s 100% winning rate in his career so far, there are actually a few sealed trump cards!
Invisibly, these words put some psychological pressure on all the teams that will face V5 next.
……
Not long after, the game entered the bp stage.
FNC blue side, V5 red side.
Perhaps Wolong's words were too intimidating, and FNC's head coach had a solemn expression during the interview.
In almost every round, the decision was made only after the time was almost over, showing great caution and seriousness.
In comparison, V5 still continues Wolong's "quick shooter" style.
It was like I had rehearsed it several times without any hesitation.
FNC banned Lucian, Akali and Galio in the first round, while V5 banned Luo, Victor and Sword Demon.
On the first floor, FNC first highlighted Kai'Sa, and then changed to Knife Girl.
Remember: "The favorability of Kai'Sa in the LEC region is much lower than that in our LPL and LCK regions, and I feel that it is not necessary to grab Kai'Sa for Rekkles first. I can take a look at it later."
Wang Duoduo: "The Blade Girl is a good choice. Caps' Blade Girl has performed well before and can sway with the top lane when necessary."
Colonel Guan: "The heroes who are left outside now include Urgot, Bullhead, Xin Zhao and the like. I wonder how V5 will choose?"
When it’s V5’s turn, the first and second floors are locked in almost seconds.
Niutou and Xia are considered a relatively strong bottom lane combination in the current version. If you go first, you are not afraid of being restrained.
There is still a hand of Tamu on the field, but according to the information Zhuge Liang has, FNC's support player Hylissang doesn't seem to like playing this hero.
FNC added Braum and Urgot on the second and third floors.
Urgot and Sword Girl can swing up and down, and Braum is the best choice besides Tau, Tahm, and Rakan. FNC is pretty good with both hands.
At the end of the first round, V5 suddenly took out a hand of crocodiles.
Colonel Guan: "Crocodile? Wolong was sold for such a long time before, but it turned out to be a crocodile with only a clear soup and little water?"
Remember: "I think it may be the mid laner Crocodile. Crocodile can easily beat Sword Girl in lane. V5 can catch FNC and swing."
Wang Duoduo: "Sword girl, crab, crocodile, and bull head, I guess this game will be faster."
Entering the second round, FNC banned Olaf and Jess, while V5 banned Wheel Mom and Cannon.
On the fourth floor, V5 takes the lead in showing off his jungler, Xiaotian’s signature blind monk.
FNC pondered for a while and identified Xin Zhao and Jhin on the fourth and fifth floors.
Colonel Guan: "FNC has a pure chopper lineup. This is a desperate effort to establish a winning streak in the early and mid-term!"
Remember: "This lineup is very strong in teamfighting in the mid-term, and all four people except the support have output capabilities."
Wang Duoduo: "Now the question is thrown back to V5, should we add a mage to fight in the late stage, or should we go head-to-head with FNC?"
For the last counter position on the fifth floor, the choice of V5 is still pending.
Audiences who are familiar with V5's consistent style have a premonition that a "new storm" is coming.
At the end of the last two seconds, a hero's portrait finally lit up in the frame.
"How about a magic trick?"
Demon clown, Shaco!
Colonel Guan: "It's started, V5 has started again!"
Wang Duoduo: "I never expected that V5 would kill the clown for us in the first game!"
Remember: "V5 already has the blind monk as the jungler, so there is a high probability that this clown will be online. Based on what Wolong said before the game, there should be no suspense about who will handle this clown!"
