On the first day of the LPL Spring Split, there were two grudge games.
At home in Shanghai, RNG challenged IG, which had just won the German Cup.
This e-sports Spring Festival Gala is a little lacking in the spirit of the year. Both Uzi and Theshy chose to take a truce due to potential injuries, just like the absence of "Unforgettable Tonight".
At the same time, both sides also unanimously brought up the substitute lineup, with plans to train at the beginning of the season.
The comments on the barrage include "I was fooled", "rnm refunded my ticket", "It's boring", and "I slipped away".
But when the game started, the audience turned into real monsters one after another.
In the first game, IG’s new bottom lane combination performed at a thigh level.
Nanfeng cooperates with Leyan and frequently coordinates with wild assistants, which connects the overall rhythm of the team.
In the later stage of the team battle, Puff pulled the maximum output, and ez suddenly achieved an injury conversion rate of more than 200.
Rookie lay happily and won, just like a dream.
Entering the second game, RNG's new midfielder Rambo and the prince system showed off their power. In several waves of team battles, everyone at IG was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
The gesture of transferring to RNG was to use Sword Demon to make a wave of small attacks. IG ignored one thing and lost the game.
In the decisive game, both sides replaced their substitute lineups and changed to the main players.
Rookie took out his signature Syndra and led the team to a good start in the new season with a perfect record of 8/0/8.
The opposite Xiaohu is a bit bleak, Ryze is 0/5/1, it can be said that he has been beaten into a background.
After the game, naturally you should brag and be black.
"Letme has retired, when will it be Xiaohu's turn?"
"It's better to continue playing with the new midfielder. The midfielder and jungler will work together well in the second game!"
"Suddenly I discovered that the posture is actually the top one in RNG. I really didn't expect this."
"That's because I didn't follow Brother Shao, otherwise my posture would be exposed!"
"Haha, it sounds like RNG has fallen in love with a puppy."
"You don't pretend to be dead when you lose, but you still deal damage against the wind. This is how old-fashioned Huangza is!"
"Ji Za dances like that, I don't know why I thought you won the championship last year!"
……
The second matchup was between DT and EDG.
Previously, DT lost to EDG in the German Cup, and the players were ridiculed and questioned after the game.
Especially iboy, because of Meiko’s remarks in the interview after the game, this period of time was quite frustrating.
At that time, the host Xiaoyu asked Meiko to evaluate the difference between the new partner Hope and her predecessor iboy.
Meiko's answer is quite intriguing. The general idea is that Hope is more obedient, so they play more stably in the bottom lane, while iboy "has more of his own ideas" and often "makes some unique operations". p>
At first glance, it sounds like he said it quite implicitly and did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be a bit of a blame game.
After iboy watched this interview, he became visibly older, and he also worked much harder during training.
In e-sports, dishonesty is the original sin. When you lose, everything you say is an excuse.
If you are not convinced, then you can only find a way to win it back!
Wawa: "Okay, welcome back, this is Yanjing's DT home court. Welcome to tonight's second BO3, where the DT team will sit at home and face EDG who came to play in the stadium."
Miller: "It has been about a week since the German Cup. DT lost to EDG before. I wonder if the results will change if the two teams play against each other again tonight?"
DT's home court has spent a lot of money to renovate it, and the overall design is based on a futuristic style full of technology, which looks cool and grand.
Although this investment cannot be earned back by buying tickets, who makes the club owner not short of money?
In the words of the two Zhuge brothers, since we have a home court, we must give full play to it so that the players can face the game in the best condition.
Of course, the cards are important, but the outcome is equally important.
If possible, Zhuge Liang hopes that DT will not suffer from the "home court curse" like WE and become a venue where other teams can score points when they come.
……
EDG blue square, DT red square.
Coach Nofe banned ez, Zoe and Snake in the first round, while Bing Jing banned Akali, Niutou and Luo.
EDG grabbed Lucian on the first floor.
In the current version, Lucian can play the bottom lane again, and his swing ability has been further enhanced, so his priority is quite high.
The first and second floors of DT selected Dao Mei and Thresh.
Currently remaining on the court is the powerful midfielder duo of Galio and Qinggangying.
However, this midfielder combination is often chosen for rhythm, and DT may not be able to control it well at the moment.
Locking down the Sword Girl first, in addition to swinging up and down, also invisibly restricts Galio. It is relatively easy for the Sword Girl to beat Galio in the lane.
As for Thresh, this hero is like the dignity of the auxiliary position. Basically, you can get Thresh in any version, provided that the player is confident enough!
Keria has a sweet and clingy personality in private, but she has the demeanor of a general on the field.
Last time they lost to EDG and their ADC was ridiculed, Keria said she must help iboy tonight to express this.
EDG successively locked Braum and Urgot on the second and third floors.
There’s not much to say, it’s just EDG, stable!
It was DT's turn for the final selection in the first round. In the camera, Bing Jing pinched iboy's shoulder and said something with a smile.
The next second, vn was locked on the third floor.
Baby: "Oh, vn, it's locked! DT is so aggressive tonight!"
Miller: "You must know that Bing Jing was cultivated by Wolong. He must have learned some of the essence of Wolong's BP. At present, I don't think it is certain which way this vn will go."
In the live broadcast room, the barrage surged.
"iboy plays vn? Has he submitted his application?"
"Taking vn against Lucian, is DT crazy? Are you pretending like this?"
"I also think that vn may not go down. It's always a bit weird to pair vn with Thresh."
"In this version, the mid lane Urgot, the mid lane Galio, the mid lane Sword Girl, and the mage are too difficult to line up. I feel like the mid lane vn can be done."
"Faker: Do I need to apply for an application to play VN?"
"If you don't understand, just ask, does Brother Li know how to play VN?"
……
Entering the second round, EDG bans Xin Zhao and Galio.
There's nothing wrong with it, after all, with Leo, you understand everything.
DT backhand sent Qinggangying and the blind monk into the cold palace.
On the fourth floor, DT locks the wine barrel.
Get Spider and Ryze respectively on the fourth and fifth floors of EDG.
Wawa: "It seems that Lucian, who was locked on the first floor of EDG, has left. At the same time, Ryze and Urgot can still swing as needed."
Miller: "EDG's lineup is very capable of point control and has strong mid-term combat capabilities."
In the last counter position of DT, after changing several heroes, the Sword Demon's avatar appeared.
Wawa: "EDG wants to gain advantage in laning by swinging, but DT refuses to let EDG do what they want. You shake and I follow."
Miller: "Relatively speaking, I think Sword Girl has more advantages against Ryze and Sword Demon against Urgot."
The lineups of both sides were determined, and the swing continued until the last thirty seconds before it stopped.
In the end, Ryze and Sword Girl moved to the top lane, while Urgot and Sword Demon moved to the middle lane.
