"Dear Summoners, welcome to the 2017 LPL Summer Split Finals, I am your old friend!"
"I'm Narrator Miller."
Although LPL commentators have had outstanding rising stars like Guan Zeyuan and Wang Jiji in recent years, when it comes to important occasions like the Summer Finals, officials usually give the commentary seats to these two veteran golden partners.
Wawa's game understanding is relatively poor, and he loves to show off his game understanding. Many viewers have criticized this point, but even so, their popularity remains high, which shows that their explanation skills are very deep.
"I always feel that this scene looks familiar. RNG and EDG have met in the LPL finals. It seems to be the third time, right?"
"Yes, as the saying goes, enemies never get together. The two teams that have been entangled for two years will once again compete in this BO5, and at the same time, they will also decide who is the number one seed in the LPL!"
"I believe I don’t need to tell you more about the excitement of today’s game. On one side are piglets and on the other side are dogs. I think these two fan groups may be the largest among all fan groups in the LPL. The competition on the field was fierce.
The confrontation off the court will also be exciting," Miller joked.
Wawa continued smoothly, "Oh? Which fan group do you think is bigger?"
This is another problem with the doll's commentary. He always asks some awkward questions, such as "It's so scary, who is it?"
If this problem is placed in a caster with poor coping skills, it may cause an accident, but Miller has a strong adaptability and resolves this crisis easily:
“I feel that I don’t have the final say on this issue, the voice of the audience should have the final say!”
"EDG fans, please speak up!"
"Where are the RNG fans?"
From the cheers of the audience, it can be heard that the voices of RNG fans are obviously louder.
Of course, this is understandable. You must know that during last summer's finals, the number of EDG fans was still far greater than that of RNG.
As for why such a big change has occurred in just one year, you have to ask Colin Dirty Dancing.
He has a lot to say on this issue, because many fans were kicked away by his S6 kick.
"Which side do you think the cheers are louder?"
"Well...it feels almost the same, mainly because I can't hear it because I'm wearing sound-isolating headphones."
"Wow, BP started suddenly. Let's study this issue later!"
"In the first game, RNG got the blue side by tossing a coin, while EDG was on the red side."
That's right, Nofe, the bad guy, lost the coin toss again.
"Brother Zheng, next time there is a session like this, let someone else do it. You are not good at betting coins!"
Yang Yi's people are numb. Throughout this year, EDG has almost never won when it comes to tossing coins to compete for the right to choose a side.
Although prioritizing side selection is not the most critical factor in winning the game, most of the time the red and blue sides can enjoy the benefits of the version. The side that chooses the blue side or the red side has a higher winning rate in that version.
In this case, of course it would be best to get the right to choose the side first.
What if in a certain MSI or global finals in the future, the BO5 finals are all blue teams?
Nofe touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said "next time".
"Hey, there's something wrong with the arm on the other side?"
In the first round of bans, RNG showed full respect to the field. They used two of the precious first three ban positions on auxiliary heroes, banning Luo and Thresh respectively, and then banned a pig girl.
In addition to taking on the ban of Kalista, EDG also blocked two heroes, Tauren and Crocodile.
"This is going to bring big bugs to the top lane." Brother Feng saw EDG's BP intention at a glance.
However, according to RNG's interpretation of the version, the priority of wine barrels in this version is higher than that of big bugs, so Letme still helped Mala Xiang Guo to win the wine barrel Gragas.
Seeing that EDG had locked up the big bug and the small cannon, Brother Feng pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in his voice:
"It's a pity that the crocodile is gone, but Junze, you can think about what you are going to use to counter the big bug later. As long as you are confident, we can give you this opportunity."
"OK, I'll consider whether to take Kenan." The other party responded.
Originally, Brother Feng could have chosen a hero like Big Tree or Shen for the top lane and let Letme mix with the big bug on the opposite side. However, this is the first game of BO5 after all, and both sides have a lot of room for trial and error.
Recently, Letme has diligently practiced a lot of Kerry-type top laners. Why not let our own players try it out? If it works wonders, not only can they get a good start in BO5, but they can also force the opponent to play a ban position. Why not?
Why not?
Since Letme is considering whether to choose AP top laner, then Xiaohu has to choose an AD hero in the middle, so mid laner Lucian naturally becomes the first choice of the RNG team. After giving Xiaoming a hand of Braum, Xiaohu himself
Lucian was locked up on the third floor.
EDG's thinking was exactly the opposite. Nofe was very cautious about the first game of BO5 and tried to choose a solid lineup to win the game, so in addition to the big bug lane in the first two hands, he also made up for it in the third hand.
Lulu.
It is not only the demolition of the classic combination of Lulu Big Mouth, but also the practice of the Xianglu version. In the semi-finals, they did not rely on the Xianglu monster to win the game. In the finals, Nofe decided it was time to verify whether the Xianglu was the answer to the Xianglu version.
Already.
In the second round of BP, RNG sent Pig Girl and Mantis, two of Klin's Dirty Dance signatures, to the ban position, and deliberately gave the prince to EDG.
Although Wine Barrel is a T0-level jungler in the current version, this hero himself is not very strong in the jungle. The purpose of releasing the prince is to allow Xiang Guo to enter the Klin Lawu jungle earlier to counter the jungle. However, this is exactly what Mingming said.
Kai's plan, he didn't think much about it, and directly asked Yang Yi to help lock the prince.
"EDG chose a very solid lineup with the first four players," Miller analyzed. "The top laner is a big bug, the jungler is a king, and the bottom lane is a small cannon. Then in the last move, Scout must be given a capable player.
Rui, and can fight Lucian's mid laner in the lane, but a hero like Galio will definitely not be able to do that."
"And RNG chose Kennen as their fourth player. They probably wanted to use Kennen to suppress the development of big bugs."
"Now it's time to decide which hero to choose for Uzi in the final round," Wawa said with a smile in his tone, "Do you think there is a possibility that RNG will choose his signature hero for Uzi?"
"Would you choose Vayne for the puppy?" Miller frowned, "Judging from the lineup, it is indeed a little possible, because EDG's Big Bug and Prince are both very weak in the front row, and Vayne is a post-processor.
There is not one ADC who is the fastest in the front row, but this hero’s laning strength is still weak. You must know that EDG’s bottom lane duo is also famous for being strong in laning.”
"That seems to be the truth..."
Wawa was a little convinced, but then he saw the RNG coach walking next to Uzi on the screen, and he suddenly became excited again:
"Brother Feng seems to be asking about the puppy! Could it be that... he's asking you what you think of Vayne?"
——————
Just as the commentators thought, in the RNG team voiceover, Brother Feng was indeed asking similar questions to Brother Bath with a serious look on his face.
It's just that the details are a little different. What he asked was:
"What do you think of Kasumi?"
Brother Feng believes that among all the ADC heroes outside, Xia is relatively the best choice.
Unfortunately, Brother Bath shook his head, "I don't feel good."
Of course there is a reason for him to say this. In addition to his insufficient proficiency with Xayah, the hero Xayah also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not flexible enough.
Although Xayah's ultimate move is far better than the displacement skills of some ADC heroes when it comes to saving lives, when chasing, Xayah without displacement will be very embarrassed.
The S7 version does not have any mythical auxiliary equipment such as crowns. The earliest version of Shureia's Rhapsody will not be online until the 8.5 version in 2018. Therefore, Xayah is pursuing this shortcoming at this time and can only upgrade it through the ancient coin.
It can be compensated by the auxiliary equipment of accelerator ball.
However, this piece of equipment is usually a soft assist, but this time RNG has chosen Braum for Xiao Ming. It is impossible for an assist like Braum to go out and give you an ancient coin, so Brother Zuko feels that Xia is not good.
It is reasonable. Brother Feng said that he could understand this and asked proactively:
"Then what do you want to choose? How about EZ?"
Brother Zuko looked around in the ADC hero list, but at first he still couldn't make a decision.
Suddenly he thought of his defeat in the spring regular season, when he was shot to death under the tower by an insidious soldier-piercing Q from the opposite EZ.
After that game, this image lingered in his mind, and it even affected his state in the second game.
When he came to his senses, Brother Bath subconsciously gave his answer.
"OK!"
What I lost must be taken back with my own hands!
"...Did you actually choose EZ in the end?"
"Although EZ is also one of the heroes that Uzi is very good at, it doesn't feel right to choose EZ in this round..."
RNG's choice was obviously beyond the expectations of the two commentators. Miller thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the intention of this EZ was.
The big bug is so meaty in the late stage, and the tankiness of the pure meat prince is also very impressive. When you take out this EZ, who do you want to deal with the two big front rows of EDG in the late stage?
Are you going to let Lucian, a little man with short hands, risk being swallowed by a big insect?
Or is RNG so confident that it can end the game before the big bug develops?
Perhaps the excellent competitive form of Tiger 90,000 in the semi-finals gave them confidence, but as a senior piglet, Miller did not think RNG had this ability, not to mention that EDG also used Scout's signature Enchantress in the last move.
He recognizes the enchantress who is his junior high school student!
The lineups of both sides are confirmed, the blue side RNG: top laner Kenan, jungler Barrel, mid laner Lucian, and bottom lane duo EZ Braum.
Red side EDG: top laner Big Bug, jungler Prince, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane duo Xiaopao Lulu.
Overall, RNG’s thinking is very clear.
Kennen's long hand and short hand in the top lane can normally suppress the development of big bugs very well; Lucian in the middle lane is also more capable of suppressing the lane than Enchantress, so at least there is no problem in ensuring lane rights in the early stage.
And the combination of EZ Braum was selected in the bottom lane, which must be more defensive than offensive, so RNG may have to fight around the top half in this game, relying on Letme and Xiaohu to compete in Carey.
This kind of situation is actually not uncommon in the LPL. For example, the Snakes team likes to cause trouble around the top laner Holy Spear and the jungle fan.
But the RNG team is quite rare. It can be said that it is rare to see in a thousand games.
Allowing RNG to place bets on Kennen in the top lane shows that Letme's Kennen must have a good standard. Otherwise, they would not easily let Uzi resist the pressure in the bottom lane. RNG took out this kind of miracle in the first game.
Move, EDG was immediately at a loss.
Nofe had a solemn look on his face, and before leaving the field, he repeatedly warned Jiang Chenglu several times, asking him to play more steadily on the top lane.
On the surface, Jiang Chenglu nodded repeatedly, saying that you should feel free to go if he knows. However, no one knows how much he has listened to these words in his heart.
Yang Yi felt very relaxed.
He didn't actually know what kind of top laner Letme was or how well Kennen played, but he knew one thing.
That is the version of Qinggangying that has just appeared on the gaming stage in the Spring Split and is invincible in the professional arena. Almost all professional top laners in the world who hold Qinggangying are the gods who block and kill the gods and Buddhas. Only one Letme uses Qinggangying.
Steel Shadow achieved an incredible record of 0-5.
Just because of Qinggangying's top performance, Yang Yi didn't believe that Letme could play Kenan so well.
The only thing that surprised him was that the guy actually took out an EZ in this bath, as if he was preparing to honestly resist the pressure.
Has the other party changed gender?
Or has the maturity period arrived again?
But after entering the game and seeing the Dolan sword on EZ, Yang Yi realized that he had overthought it.
In S7, the entry-level item Dolan Shield has been greatly enhanced. Not only has the equipment price been reduced from the original 450 to 400 yuan, but its attributes are also better than the Doran Sword, which is 50 yuan more expensive. Therefore, the ADC of the summer game
Basically, Dolan Shield goes out, even Yang Yi who likes to suppress the line.
However, Brother Zuko took out the Dolan Sword this time. Obviously, he was not prepared to resist the pressure in the bottom lane as everyone at EDG discussed before entering the game.
It's just that the hero attributes of EZ Braum are here. Neither of them is a hero with strong lane pushing ability, and the online consumption and blood exchange ability are not as good as Lu Lu, a long-hand support with a shield. Brother Bath wants to rely on this
To create a suppressive combination, relying solely on the bottom lane alone is simply not possible.
After pressing the line of soldiers to the front and back of the RNG tower, Yang Yi looked at the dark river and seemed to smell a hint of danger.
Tian Ye was about to go to the grass in the river to make eyes, but was stopped by Yang Yi's voice, and then his cannon went to the grass in the river to make eyes instead of Lu Lu.
Mala Xiangguo, who was hiding in the grass, watched Xiaopao walking towards him step by step. While feeling happy, he also gave up the idea of preparing to dodge directly.
A flash CD lasts for five minutes, so of course you should use it as sparingly as possible.
But the next moment, the grumpy teacher Guo said a curse word directly in his voice:
"Damn it! What kind of reaction can this little cannon have to jump out of?"
It's just that Teacher Guo didn't know that Yang Yi was able to react this time because he had already had an early warning in his heart and kept his finger on the rocket jump button.
At the moment when the wine barrel meat and eggs hit him, Xiao Pao relied on the hegemonic effect of the rocket jump to offset the control, and escaped safely from under the opponent's belly. He also maintained a very healthy blood volume and only ate the whole process. This time the meat and egg impact damage.
Not only did Mr. Guo think that Yang Yi relied on his reactions to escape, but the audience and commentators from the perspective of God also thought so.
“Majesty’s response is really amazing!”
Seeing such a wonderful scene at the beginning of the final, Miller became excited:
"This is the reaction speed of a seventeen-year-old young man. This is the LPL final we want to see!"
