The third day of ig's game was the last one, so Yunge and the players could only stay in the lounge of the venue to watch the game. Of course, this was not much different from being at the base.
In the first game, g2 easily defeated mcx and won their first victory in the group stage, while jdg also won tl.
The current situation in Group A is very clear. With TL in abnormal condition, JDG, which has won two consecutive games, is in good shape to qualify. Then it lost to JDG, but G2 had already won its first victory.
North America's third seed TL has lost two games in a row and has lost the initiative to qualify, because they will face g2 next and will lose three games in a row if nothing else happens.
mcx obviously does not have the strength to compete with g2 for qualifying spots. Even though the two teams currently have a record of one win and one loss, mcx's opponent in the next round is jdg, and there is not much hope of winning the game.
From their clean loss to g2 today, it is not difficult to see that this wild card team can beat tl not because they are very strong, but because tl's state is too bad.
After the games of Group A, it will be the turn of Group B. After today’s two games and the first round of Group B, it will be completely over.
However, there were no upsets in these two games. DWG quickly defeated PSG, while TES lived up to expectations and defeated its group stage opponent RG, successfully achieving a record of two wins and one loss.
In fact, the situation of tes qualifying is the same as g2. As long as there is no upset later, there is a high probability that tes will qualify second in the group stage, and g2 still has a certain probability of defeating jdg in the second round.
But looking at the first game of tes, it is really difficult to beat dwg. Even if they win the next round and the two teams are tied, it will be difficult to win again in the extra round.
Therefore, after the first round, the appearance of Group B has become very clear. DWG will qualify first in the group with a high probability, while TES can only be ranked second.
Since Group C has a day off today, the match of Group D starts directly. No one pays attention to the first match between Fly and UOL in Group D. Everyone is looking forward to today's finale.
As the favorite to win the championship, ig, the defending champion last year, only played one game. The audience was of course very anxious and couldn't wait to watch ig's game.
The ig players who had been waiting on the field for a long time finally came to the fighting table. To be honest, Yun Ge felt uncomfortable waiting. If the fight didn't start, he would be a little anxious.
"Today's grand finale has finally begun, the ig game, the long-awaited drama."
"Yes, as the defending champion, ig only played one game, which is definitely not enough to watch, but today's game is very valuable."
"DRX, as the second seed of LCK, definitely has the strength of the top eight. It may bring some trouble to ig, but we can also see what the state of ig is in the World Championship."
Wawa and Miller are full of expectations for ig. In fact, both of them have heard privately that ig's training record is very good, but they haven't really shown it on stage, so they always feel uneasy.
Because someone claimed that he often single-killed faker in training matches, but he was beaten violently on the field and retired on the spot, and then everyone else disappeared.
Therefore, no matter how good the training match results are, it is just talk. What is the real strength will not be clear until the game is completed.
And drx, the second seed of LCK, is a very good standard to test ig's strength. It's not too strong, not too weak, it's just right.
Due to the coin toss before the game, ig lost the right to choose the side, so ig was on the red side in this game. The drx coaching staff had a very clear goal, and directly sent ig's male gunner who performed well in the first game to the ban position.
Then drx seemed to know that Xiao Leyan's Leopard Girl was very powerful, so he sent all the two strongest wild cores in this version to the ban position.
However, Yunge's BP ideas have not changed in any way since coming to the World Championship. Olaf, Bear and Troll, the three early rhythm junglers are all sent to the ban position.
drx's last ban position did not restrict the troops that ig often used, but chose to ban Rookie's Syndra. It is obvious that drx wanted to make a fuss in the middle.
Drx on the blue side grabbed the blind monk. Yun Ge's eyes were full of surprise. He originally thought that drx had some big move, but it turned out to be a blind monk.
"drx's choice was very confident, and he grabbed the blind monk first. Pyosik's blind monk is indeed his unique skill, and he performed very well in LCK."
"He is often banned in LCK games. He can steal the blind monk from IG players. It can be seen that he is very confident."
Miller was also a little surprised by drx's decision, because in the current version where jungle core is popular, drx actually dared to rob the blind monk. I don't know where they got the courage.
The ig on the red side did not hesitate at all and directly selected the Centaur and the Tsar. In the absence of the Male Spear and the Leopard Girl, the Centaur was the hero that Yun Ge believed in Xiao Leyan the most.
If it was an LPL team that was more familiar with IG's tactics, they would definitely not ban just two wild core heroes of Xiao Leyan. If they wanted to ban all three of them, they would not release troops for Xiao Leyan at all.
The last coach who did this was Xiao Zhuge Bai Yueya, and he lost the third game of the finals and lost his pants.
After the ig selection was completed, drx was also very quick in his second and third moves, directly taking out cards and Draven. These two moves were completely beyond Yunge's expectations.
Card, as the popular mid laner in the current version, is actually very easy to encounter on IG, because the LPL coaching staff knows very well that when facing Rookie, choosing a card is basically a gift.
Rookie's strong online suppression can completely prevent the cards from flying. Once the line rights in the middle are lost, the cards will have no effect and cannot bring any rhythm.
If you just look at drx's lineup, the blind monk and the card's midfielder, there is actually not much of a problem. One has strong early rhythm and strong jungle, and the other has fast early support and can grab the edge.
This is the midfielder that is most suitable for the rhythm of the version without a jungle core. It can be said that the blind monk and the card are the strongest rhythm engines in the current version.
But drx didn't consider that his opponent was ig at all. Relying on chovy's strong personal ability, he was very confident in his choice in the middle, thinking that by banning Syndra, rookie would not be able to suppress chovy's cards.
drx has absolutely no respect for rookie.
It would be better not to make such a BP at all. If it were an ordinary opponent, let Chovy play a roaming rhythm in the early stage, and rely on Luther Levin's strength, maybe he could really win the game.
But the League of Legends competition has never been based on the strength of the hero's version, but on the ID on the hero's head. In the hands of different players, the same hero can display completely different strengths.
"Draven? drx is really brave."
"When choosing Delevingne opposite Ah Shui, who gave him the confidence."
"You unknown person, how dare you...oh, it's Mr. Dai, then it's okay."
"Minato's axe! Don't you dare tell me what I said!"
"Even if it's Mr. Dai, I won't approve of this Draven. I only recognize Ah Shui for Draven."
"Ah Shui: Who dares to drink in front of me! See if I don't break his legs!"
Compared to the midfielder combination that Yunge pays more attention to, the audience in the live broadcast room is more interested in Mr. Dai's Draven. After all, everyone knows that Ah Shui is Draven's best player.
However, the appearance rate of Draven as an AD is very low, and few people can perform brilliantly. However, Ah Shui basically produces results every time he uses it, so the audience is most impressed by Ah Shui's Draven.
As soon as drx selected Draven, the audience couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Dai was trying to teach Ah Shui a lesson and let him see how the senior Draven played.
On the contrary, Ah Shui on the court didn't feel anything about this, and instead thought that the game was stable, because Delevingne was not easy to fight in the bottom lane.
Even if there are cards that can help him catch, Ah Shui is not afraid at all. He has great trust in Lao Song in the middle, and Rookie will never give the cards too many chances to catch.
Although Yun Ge felt a little surprised, bp's lineup has not changed. IG's current tactical system is very mature.
This is the result of Yunge's preparation for a whole year, and it will not change easily in the World Championship, so ig decisively got the monkey in the third hand.
Although compared to the Xia Jue lineup, the mid lane has changed from Syndra to the Czar, but it does not affect the overall combat effectiveness of the upper, middle and jungle.
"Monkey, no problem. We have seen ig's lineup. It is specially designed to match people and horses. It is a very strong tactical system. ig has used it many times."
The moment ig selected the monkey, Wawa could see the lineup ig wanted to use in this game. With this lineup, ig was simply too skilled.
"I have to say that as soon as the ig lineup was revealed, it felt very stable, especially Xiao Leyan's team. I feel that this is his most stable hero on the field."
"Xiao Leyan's men and women are not as stable as the men and horses. Without the blessing of the version, Xiao Leyan's men may have the highest tactical priority."
Miller is also very optimistic about ig's lineup. For ig, whose goal is to defend the championship, a stable tactical system is very important.
Miller carefully counted in his mind. ig currently has at least three wild core systems, male guns, leopard women and centaurs. Throughout the summer split, ig's three lineups have been invincible.
Moreover, in the version of the World Championship, these three heroes have not been weakened in any way, which makes Miller very excited, because the current version is also very suitable for ig's performance.
With excitement, Miller set his sights on the second round of BP on the court. Yunge decisively banned the hard-assisted Shuguang and Titans who cooperated with Delevingne.
Drx also targeted Ah Shui accordingly, banning the female gun and policewoman that Ah Shui had recently used, and IG decisively captured Luo in the fourth move.
In fact, you can also choose the bottom lane duo of Han Bing and Lulu in this game, but these two heroes are too fragile and can be easily targeted. They are not as comprehensive as the Phoenix Legend combination.
Therefore, Yunge thought about it for a while and decided to choose Xia Luo to deal with drx's Draven. In order to prevent the opponent from forcibly dismantling the Phoenix Legend, Yunge also played a cautious role and deliberately grabbed Luo first.
If drx really wants to take advantage of it, it is not impossible to play with Draven and Rakan. After all, Rakan is also a strong support, and without Rakan, Xia loses the initiative in the lane.
Yunge will not choose an outrageous hero combination like Xia Jia Lulu. Once this combination is chosen, it will be too strong and the audience may not be able to bear it.
Although Yunge banned two hard assistants, drx's assistant keria still confidently selected Thresh. In fact, drx's outstanding performance this season has a lot to do with this little assistant.
As the youngest player in the drx team, keria often performs brilliantly on the court. He can be regarded as drx's little Kerry point in the bottom lane. He can indeed choose Thresh with confidence.
The classic combination of Ludlev Levin and Thresh makes it clear that he looks down on Ah Shui. If he loses in the bottom lane in this round, Ah Shui may become a hot search topic.
If Thresh is just a confident choice, then drx's next hero choice caused the barrage in the live broadcast room to completely explode.
In the top unit of the fifth hand, drx actually took out the Sword Girl, first on Draven, and then on the Sword Girl. The meaning of drx was already very clear.
Even if the audience is not very familiar with ig's hero pool, as long as they often watch the game, they can realize how arrogant drx's BP is, as if they are the ones standing on top.
"Drx is so confident? Are you awake? Your opponent is IG."
"If you don't understand, just ask, was drx last year's championship? Their selection was so arrogant."
"It's so funny, I didn't expect that there is a team that can underestimate IG in terms of BP. LCK really doesn't watch LPL games."
"Indeed, as long as you have some brains, you won't have no brains at all. Is this a coach who can be selected by a coaching staff with brains?"
"I don't understand. What's so arrogant about drx? How can he still feel superior in front of ig?"
"To be fair, skt doesn't dare to feel superior in front of ig now, so why does drx?"
"I'm sorry, sir, the SKT you mentioned did not make it to the World Championship."
When Yun Ge saw drx's lineup, he really laughed. To be honest, he hadn't seen such a confident bp in a long time. Anyway, drx was commendable for his courage.
ig took out Xia in the last counter position. At this point, the lineups of both sides were all confirmed. Yun Ge confirmed the bond information on the court and walked off the stage. When shaking hands with the opposite coach, Yun Ge had a look on his face.
