V5 advanced to the semi-finals, which is a result in line with public expectations.
Next, the other two teams in the LPL, IG and RNG, will be a tougher battle!
During the group interview after the game, many domestic media asked Zhuge Liang this question.
After all, Wolong’s game understanding is among the best in the world, and his predictions of game results are so accurate that they can be called the “code of wealth.”
However, Zhuge Liang directly chose to pass and skipped these sensitive topics.
There is no other way, the interests are related, everyone understands.
Regardless of whether Zhuge Liang is right or wrong, he is digging a hole for himself and asking for trouble.
Furthermore, if there really are some "little clever guys" selling houses and cars, trying to figure out the wealth code, wouldn't Zhuge Liang have to take the blame when the typhoon hits?
Some more experienced e-sports media are much more tactful in their attempts and detours.
They did not directly ask Zhuge Liang who he expected to qualify, but asked round the corner which team Zhuge Liang hoped to face.
However, Zhuge Liang was used to seeing big scenes in his early years, and the official media he dealt with were much more difficult to deal with than the e-sports media.
"Let's toss a coin. In the next round, heads will be G2 and tails will be IG." Zhuge Liang took out a coin from his pocket.
"Coach Wolong, is this too childish?" The e-sports media reporter who asked the question before was confused.
Zhuge Liang ignored him and tossed the coin.
The coin fell, but Zhuge Liang did not reach out to catch it, and let the coin fall on the ground.
From beginning to end, Zhuge Liang never even took a look.
The media people at the scene thought about it for a while, but they understood the meaning behind Zhuge Liang's move.
Wolong used a very childish coin toss to choose his opponent, but he didn't care about the result of the coin toss, because the result was meaningless to him!
In short, no matter who the opponent is, they are all the same to Wolong.
This interview video was uploaded to major websites and immediately aroused heated discussions among many players.
"Don't ask, they are all defeated anyway, why are you asking V5 to order food?"
"Now that I've learned it, let's flip a coin to decide whether to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University next year (funny)!"
"Come on, wouldn't it be embarrassing if the coin stood up?"
"Today's e-sports media just wants to make some big news, and they will use their mother's resurrection armor in exchange for traffic!"
"Wolong: Thank you for the invitation. I am in Busan and have just entered the semi-finals. I mean everyone here is a younger brother!"
"If Wolong tells the truth, will Huang Za and Ji Za join forces to blow it up?"
"If you dare to blast Wolong, do you think that I, Tianlong and Breadman, are dead (nuzui)?"
"No, please don't take our 60e with you. He's just a traitor who turned around to get a big contract. He's really unfamiliar."
"Did anyone tell me whether the coin thrown by Wolong was heads or tails?"
……
Just when V5 was accepting a group interview, another game in the left half had already started.
G2 vs. IG.
It seems that God’s will is there, but I didn’t expect that these two teams would meet together in advance.
In the memory of the past life, G2 became IG’s background and was swept away.
However, after the changes in the world line, the strength level of the two teams is not the same.
G2, who was in the previous S8 finals, was reorganized after S7. Whether it was in the league or during the group stage of the World Championship, they were stumbling and could not be said to be a strong team.
Especially their bot lane duo, they are really talented and they just need to find a job in an electronics factory.
Now G2 has formed a dream team in advance, and after a year and a half of running in, it can be said that it is strong and strong.
Looking at IG again, Theshy, the main top laner in the previous life, has changed his attitude, but the jungle and auxiliary positions have added depth.
Using the five-pointed star as a metaphor, now this IG has made up for and improved its shortcomings, but its unique strengths have also been weakened.
Cutting off strengths and making up for weaknesses has subtly reduced IG to mediocrity, gradually losing its uniqueness and style.
Frankly speaking, there is really not much difference in the hard power between the two teams. Who wins and who loses depends on their state and performance.
……
In the first game of B05, IG played a bundled combination of Ning Ren and Haruno Lan.
Obviously, when they reached the knockout stage, Jin Jingzhu also realized that the two newcomers Leyan and Prophet might not be able to compete with this intensity of competition.
Entering the bp stage, IG on the red side used Sword Demon as a bargaining chip and switched to the Xia Luo combination in the bottom lane.
In Zhuge Liang’s opinion, this transaction was a huge profit!
If IG wants to win, Baolan's performance will be very important.
Get him a Luo with high proficiency, which can be of great help to the team whether it is starting a group or cooperating with King Ning to roam.
In addition, Xayah and Rakan alone are not considered to be strong versions, but if they can be obtained together, they are not inferior to combinations such as Kai'Sa and Tau Tau, Varus and Tahm Kench.
The lineups of both sides are being released one after another.
G2 chose a lineup that supports the entire map, with Sword Demon in the top lane, Nightmare in the jungle, Enchantress in the mid lane, and Kai'Sa in the bottom lane paired with Shen.
The support of this lineup is extremely fast. As long as a battle breaks out along the way, it will turn into a mahjong situation in a few seconds.
IG chose to believe in its own team-fighting ability, with top laner Ornn, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Lissandra, and bottom lane Phoenix Legend.
At the beginning of the game, IG's bottom lane relied on personal abilities to force Kai'Sa to purge.
However, during the subsequent suppression process, IG had a gap in its vision and was double-teamed by G2. Both Xia and Luo died.
King Ning quickly counterattacked on the top lane and cooperated with Ornn to kill the Sword Demon.
After both sides reached level 6, G2 followed the same pattern and once again jumped over the tower and killed the IG duo.
The defensive towers and dragons were all lost, and the lower half of IG was completely covered by G2's vision.
Fortunately, IG opened up the situation in the top half and barely stabilized the situation.
However, there are also hidden dangers if we continue fighting like this.
G2's Kai'Sa is taking shape rapidly, while IG's Xayah's development has been suppressed.
If fattening up an Ornn cannot be converted into a team advantage in the mid-term, it will be in vain.
The turning point of the game occurred at the 16th minute. G2 tried to kill Lissandra in the middle, thus opening a gap in the middle.
However, Rookie relies on personal operation, which delays a lot of time.
Ornn's TP landed on the ground, hit four of them with his big move, and cooperated with Luo who came over, achieving almost perfect team control.
Xia scored three kills in the subsequent harvest, and the stagnant equipment was replenished at once.
A wave of rising IG began to form a team and frequently found G2 for fights.
Xayah started with 0/2/0 and after three waves of team battles, she went straight to 8/2/3.
When IG wins the Baron, G2 will never be able to recover.
IG is not only strong in starting a team, but also has a key defense ability. G2 cannot deal with Ah Shui's Xayah, and the team battle is naturally ruined.
After twenty-nine minutes, IG successfully defeated the G2 base crystal and won the first victory.
In the second game, Rookie selected Galio and taught the opposing G2 personally what roaming support is.
Thanks to Galio's performance, IG played a crushing game.
In the last wave of team battles, Galio's ultimate move of Justice came on the scene and knocked five people away, giving G2 a feeling of flying.
