October 7th is the third day of the global finals group stage.
This day's schedule is very comfortable for LPL viewers, because each of the three domestic teams has a game today, and the opponents are not bad guys.
The first match is between we and tsm... This team may be a little weak, which makes the value of today's game drop a bit, but at least they are strong in training matches?
Then came the fourth game of rng against ssg. Although Samsung is only the third seed team in South Korea, as the king of the lck bubble game, they have many fans all over the world - such as Guan Ze, who is responsible for commentating the second half today.
Yuan, he is a big fan of Samsung mid laner Crown Brother.
Among the four teams in Group C, ssg is also the only team that can threaten rng's status. Of course, the two teams are divided into first and second place in the group because the other two teams are too weak.
.
Finally, the highlight of today is still the final battle - edg vs. skt.
Obviously Riot officials also knew what the audience wanted to see, and arranged this game in the prime time slot at eight o'clock.
"...There are still three hours until the start of the game. Bring some chocolate or something to prevent you from being hungry and dizzy by then. I don't want to use the acclimatization and beef noodles as an excuse this year."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the entire EDG team drove to Wuhan Sports Center again to face the last opponent in the first round of the group stage.
Having learned the lesson from the previous two days, this time they deliberately delayed the meal until after three o'clock in the afternoon, and also delayed the departure time to the venue, so that the players would not have to sit in the lounge hungry.
"I can't stand it any longer. What are these people writing about? How can EDG be considered successful if it lasts for thirty minutes?"
Tian Ye was looking at his cell phone with a depressed look on his face. He was also deeply influenced by Yang Yi in terms of surfing the Internet. He had long learned to go to anti-stress bars while riding in the car to relieve his boredom.
"Isn't that normal? There are three stars on the team uniform." Yang Yi said calmly.
He has seen too many similar statements on the Internet. Although edg crushed his opponents in the first two games, most viewers are still not very optimistic about the prospects of this battle.
Just because their opponent is called skt.
"...You two are not nervous at all. You are still in the mood to read the forum. Are you very confident about the competition?" Klin Lawu asked with a smile.
Maybe he was thinking that he would meet Xiaohuatiao again after a long absence, so his mood was inevitably a little fluctuating. He was not as calm as the bottom duo, and there was nothing else to do in the car. He was bored and stopped by to see Tianye and Yang.
Yi chat.
"Didn't I play against SKT in the intercontinental competition? I've already won a BO1 before, so I definitely don't have that much pressure now." Yang Yi said something.
Mingkai was very disdainful: "Can the intercontinental competition be the same as the world championship? Compared with the global finals, the intercontinental competition has no gold content at all."
"Why do your words sound familiar to me? I remember that many people on the Internet said that our S5 MSI champion had no gold content. Even now, there are still such voices - our MSI has no gold content, so there is no gold content.
I saw another team taking it." Tian Ye suddenly interrupted.
Yang Yi sneered and said: "Haha, let alone the MSI championship, even if we win the World Championship, believe it or not, we are still not valuable in the mouths of some groups, or simply say that we are the least valuable in history.
champion?】"
He really understands certain groups so well that as long as someone or a certain team has never won a championship, it doesn’t have any value, right?
"That's a bit exaggerated, that's the champion of the S competition," Tian Tian muttered, obviously underestimating Kuroko's lower limit.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, I think as long as we play normally, we can at least be 50-50 equal to SKT. What do you think, Xiao Jiang?"
"Of course we are stronger and we will definitely win this game." Jiang Chenglu said without hesitation.
Yang Yi nodded happily, he and Jiang Chenglu had the same view.
Both of them are actually crazy, but Yang Yi likes to show his madness, while Jiang Chenglu prefers to show it with actual actions in the game, but rarely mentions it with his mouth.
In Jiang Chenglu's eyes, SKT's top laner Huni is a complete basket case. LCK's top laners who can beat him can't be counted on one hand, and LPL also has many top laners who are more powerful than Huni in terms of operation. It's just LPL's top laner.
They are all such a team.
As for the bottom lane, the combination of Yang Yi and Tian Ye is also stronger than the declining status of Bang and Wolf. The midfielder may be slightly inferior, but Faker is no longer the big devil he once was, and the little peanut is gradually turning into a small brush.
direction development.
Judging from the performance in recent games, Klin's performance is much better than that of Xiaosheng.
To be honest, as long as Nofe doesn't have problems with BP, Yang Yi can't even think of SKT's chances of winning.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Uncle Fei suddenly exploded, and in a desperate situation, he asked God to invite himself to the peak of S3, live a second life, and kill Scout directly in the line.
But the probability of this happening is really low, because Scout has almost never had any problems with laning.
They arrived at the arena just in time. At this time, rng had already won ssg. The audience was very excited and the cheers could be felt even backstage.
"Yes, as long as Samsung passes this level, rng has a very high chance of qualifying first in the next group." Tian Tian was sincerely happy for the brother team.
Yang Yi also grinned, "rng is basically stable, unless they overturn at the hands of g2."
The conscience of heaven and earth, he is not pretending, really.
Although the g2 team dominates the European division, every time they come to the world competition, they will perform as well as the s5 godfather. It is no wonder that they are called the "European Optimistic Family" by the LPL audience.
Last year at MSI, g2 was beaten 2-8 in the group stage and didn't even make it to the knockout round. This year, they relied on eliminating FW and won the MSI runner-up. However, judging from the state of the two days of competition, their qualifying
The situation is still very serious, because g2 was brutally beaten by ssg on the first day of the group stage.
However, g2 lived up to their nickname of the European Optimistic Family. After losing miserably to SSG on the first day, g.
First, he must make Wuhan silent for him and g2; second, he must play Yasuo in the game and confirm his identity as a happy European family; third, he must qualify from the group stage with the first place in the group.
To be fair, among G, the easiest one is definitely the second one. Just choose Yasuo in the game. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose.
But the most difficult condition is not to qualify first in the group.
Because as long as g2 is strong enough, they can defeat rng and g2 and become the first in the group. However, silencing Wuhan is not something that can only be done with strength.
The Chinese audience is not as unqualified as Wanwan. Wanwan would be as quiet as a chicken when they saw the LPL team gaining an advantage. In the intercontinental finals, many people left early when they saw the LPL win.
The Chinese audience is different. Whether it is the LCK, which has suppressed the LPL for four years in the World Championship, or the European and American players who are dismissed by everyone online, as long as the game is exciting and passionate enough, they will participate for every team.
The team cheered, even if the team that was beaten was an LPL team.
Just like today's fifth game, after ahq defeated c9 with a slight advantage, many spectators did not care about the accident in the intercontinental competition and gave a relatively warm applause to the compatriots in the Bay Area. This behavior
It has also won unanimous praise from foreign professional players and audiences.
Chinese audience, 即亍!
As the battle between ahq and c9 comes to an end, the highlight of today's game is about to take place.
——————
"Welcome back, you are now watching the third day of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals group stage. This game will be commented live by commentators Wang Duoduo and Zeyuan!"
"Come on, come on, the highlight of today!"
"Yes, I believe many viewers have also been looking forward to the confrontation between the two top teams in Group A with two bars and zeros!"
Guan Zeyuan's tone of voice was obviously a little excited, and even Wang Duoduo was a little excited.
The two of them took the initiative to apply for a replacement with their colleagues for today's commentary task. Originally, the people officially arranged to be responsible for commentating this game were Rita Takko and Hallucinogen... It was simply torturing the audience.
Fortunately, the last two people also knew that their commentary skills were very poor. They were worried that such a wonderful game would be overshadowed by their commentary, so they simply agreed to their request.
Seeing that the big screen had entered the BP interface, Guan Zeyuan suppressed his excitement and began to explain seriously:
"In this game, edg is on the blue side and skt is on the red side. edg is still the same as the previous two games. He chose to ban the jungler Keg first. The director doesn't seem to like using this hero very much, even if he has priority.
The blue side grabbed the power and knocked down the barrel."
"SKT has also assumed the fixed ban position of Kalista. It seems that no team has dared to release Kalista so far. I don't know when we will be able to see the heroic appearance of skateboard shoes on the field.
"Wang Duoduo said along the way.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time that skateboard shoes have been banned at the World Championships with great intensity. It is just that in previous years, it was a must-have if it was not banned, but this year it is a must-ban and not a choice.
"Edg banned Ryze in the second move, so this move is more thoughtful. I have seen many games in the past few days where they chose to use Ryze to fight Galio. They probably wanted to force SKT to send Galio up.
Ban."
"Sure enough, SKT also knows that Scout Galio is playing very well, and it seems that they are planning to combine Xia Luo with one on each side, so Galio will indeed have to be banned. Yesterday and today we saw the power of Galio paired with Rakan.
This combination must not be given to opponents."
In the third hand, EDG chose to kill Syndra, while SKT banned Zhu Mei. Jiang Chenglu immediately helped Yang Yi pick Xia on the first floor. SKT's selection speed was also very fast, and they quickly locked Prince Luo.
The Nosuke combination.
There is nothing to worry about on the edg side. In the current version, there are already three out of the four strong players: Wild Boar Girl, Barrel, Prince and Excavator, so Klin Dirty Dance directly won the signature Reksai for himself, which immediately attracted the attention of the public.
The edg fans on the field cheered.
"Ming Kai, if I were you just now, I would choose the widow." Yang Yi couldn't help but pick a fight.
Tian Ye also smiled and said, "That's it, let's recreate the glory of our ancestors as MSI."
Mingkai rolled his eyes and ignored the two sword mounds in the bottom lane. However, Scout suddenly showed off the Enchantress and came out, which immediately won a burst of exclamations from the audience and commentators - showing off the Enchantress in front of Faker!
However, he just hesitated a moment, and then helped Meiko get Feng Nu out according to the plan.
Xia Fengnu, this is the most confident combination of EDG bottom lane besides Xia Luo. Even against Bang and Wolf, they are confident to crush their opponents!
SKT did not do anything fancy. Faker directly locked the mouse on the third floor, and the two sides entered the second round of BP.
"Should we ban the Enchantress and the Snake Girl?" Nofe asked, "The opponent will probably leave the Counter position to Faker. Banning just one Syndra may not be enough to restrict him."
"It's better to ban him," Yang Yi said. "Although five ban positions are not enough to restrict him, I think there is no need to waste ban positions on the top lane."
"Okay, then Rui Can, what are you going to use to hit him? Rui Can?"
"Oh...sorry."
Scout was a little distracted just now.
Because the coach and teammates were discussing how many mid laners of Faker should be banned, but the opponent only banned his mid laner, and it was a guy like Galio who had no skills, which made him a little worried.
But then scout adjusted his mentality, and he had also been looking forward to today's game for a long time.
Before joining edg, he was a trainee of skt, and a junior from the same school as faker and deft. He was also quite popular among several seniors in the skt team, and could be said to be regarded as a group favorite.
And today, the former junior student is finally going to play against the senior Faker on the stage of the global finals. The picture that he only imagined in his mind is about to become a reality. How can Scout not be excited?
Feeling Nofe's worried eyes, he immediately issued a military order:
"Bring me Lucian, and I'll make Faker unable to move even a step in the middle!"
Realizing that he can no longer face the World Championship with his summer lineup, Scout has rarely used mid laner Lucian in training games recently.
Only this time, facing his senior and idol, he had a reason to prove himself.
Nofe hesitated for a moment, and SKT used both bans on the top lane, blocking the trolls and crocodiles that theshy had just used in the previous game. It looked like they were going to grab the big bugs.
Now he can either let theshy use a big tree to fight Huni - which is obviously a waste of theshy's strong personal strength and unique hero pool, or he can use heroes like Rambo and Jace to suppress the development of the big bug.
is the best choice.
If we take Lucian according to Scout's idea, edg will most likely have a big advantage in the early stage, and then end the game strongly before thirty minutes, and nofe will definitely nod directly.
But this time their opponent is SKT. With SKT’s resilience and operational capabilities, they might be dragged into a late comeback.
Nofe was still struggling, but Yang Yi on the fourth floor had decisively locked Lucian.
"I believe you, Rui Can," Yang Yi said with a smile, "Don't talk about putting Faker in the middle to bind the spirit. Even if you directly kill Faker alone, I won't be surprised at all."
In fact, he also felt that choosing Lucian was a bit too hard, and the lineup's fault tolerance rate would be very low. However, the opponent's strong team opening was very fierce. With Prince Luo, he was very capable of finding opportunities.
But when his teammates are determined to prove themselves, Yang Yi's choice is-
