Chapter 85 Everything is in Zhuge Mingkai's calculations!
"Okay, everyone, welcome back. What you are watching now is the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals group stage match. I am the commentator Miller."
"Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan."
"The next thing that will be played is today's focus game, which is also the last game of the day, SKT vs. EDG." Miller said seriously, but there was a hint of joy in his tone that could not be concealed.
Guan Zeyuan was more straightforward. He pointed out the words directly:
"Yes, but before this powerful dialogue that everyone has been waiting for for a long time begins, I must tell everyone that the current qualifying situation of Group A has been clarified."
"Currently, EDG is firmly ranked first in the group with 5-0, while SKT is ranked second in the group with a record of 3-2. The other two teams' group stage schedules have all ended, and C9 finally achieved a record of 3-3.
AHQ exploded and defeated SKT in the last game, ending their World Championship journey with a score of 1-5."
"But since C9 lost to SKT in both rounds of the group stage, according to the "League of Legends S6 Global Finals Group Stage Playoff Rules", if the two teams are tied, it will depend on the battle record of the two teams. If it is a tie,
If the score is one to one, an extra match will be required, and the team with the shorter winning time will have priority to choose the side; if the score is two to zero, that team will win."
"That is to say, even if SKT loses to EDG again in this game, and they and C9 both have a score of 3-3, then SKT will still qualify directly without having to play a playoff with C9; and even if SKT draws in this game
If we return to the first city and defeat EDG, then EDG will directly qualify first in the group with 5-1 points, so no matter who loses or wins in this game, it will not affect the final ranking of Group A."
Guan Zeyuan has already said this, and even a cloud player at the scene should be able to understand what he means.
So some people lamented on the Internet:
[Hey, I thought that as long as EDG won this game, SKT would be forced to play a playoff with C9. 】
[There is no way, who can let C9 fail? As long as he wins one more game, he may even qualify directly. 】
[No wonder people say that Europe and the United States are trying to get the best of them. The provincial team with zero points and five points finally took a bite out of SKT, so C9 will continue to serve SKT? 】
[It’s embarrassing, AHQ can win mainly because SKT’s BP is too pretentious and insists on using Kassadin to fight the murlocs.]
[I can’t beat it, but now I’m starting to blame BP again, right? Is it because I pressed Faker’s hand to get Kassadin for him? 】
[Actually, let me tell you, in the second round, EDG should give C9 a handicap, so SKT might go home directly to the top 16, which would be interesting.]
[But I have something to say. It’s quite funny that SKT, the triple crown champion, almost ended up in a playoff with other teams. 】
Everyone was chatting happily, but little did they know that Faker's fans were already going crazy.
Because the things they discussed were all based on the premise that EDG would definitely be able to defeat SKT in the second round.
Fans are so angry. The drafting for the last game has not even started yet. Why do you think SKT has lost?
I didn’t see my brother He said that they lost to E0DG in the first round because they underestimated their opponents and did not carry out BP seriously. This round SKT will show their true level and will definitely slap you in the face!
BP started. In this game, SKT came to the blue side, and EDG switched to the red side.
"SKT first banned Galio when they came up. After the first round of the group stage, the priority of Galio has been visibly improved a lot. Now many teams either ban him in the first three bans or ban him in the first three bans.
Just after grabbing the first three moves, SKT chose the latter in this round." Guan Zeyuan analyzed.
Miller took over the conversation, "EDG banned Kalista. This hero is also a fixed ban position for the red side. There is nothing to say. It depends on who is given the ban position in the next two hands."
"The opponent's second-hand ban eliminated the prince?"
Klin Lawu frowned, feeling that things were not simple, and Yang Yi also began to think about the purpose of banning the prince opposite him.
Liquor, Prince and Pig Girl are currently the jungle heroes with the highest BP rate in the group stage. They can be called the three fantasy gods in the S7 jungle world.
Among them, the priority of Wine Barrel and Pig Girl is higher than that of Prince. Prince only works wonders when paired with Galio, so few teams will choose to eliminate Prince in the first three bans. EDG prefers to
Ban wine barrel.
In the first move, SKT banned Galio, which already reduced the value of the prince by half. In the second move, they did not ban the higher-priority barrel, nor did they care about Reksai, who had an invincible offensive rhythm in the early stage of the previous round.
Instead, the prince was given the rank of Ban, which was somewhat baffling.
Because the blue team bans first and picks first, if SKT kills them all and the third team continues to chase Ban Liquor or Zhumei and wants to monopolize the jungler of the Phantom God, then EDG will definitely ban the remaining Phantom God.
No one wants to play.
Since it is not to block EDG's jungle hero, we can conclude that if Kkoma didn't lose his mind when doing BP, he must have wanted to choose a non-displacement ADC for Bang who is very afraid of the prince.
In this way, EDG's next BP idea is very clear - give him a ban position for all non-displacement ADCs suitable for this version!
Since it is necessary to ban the non-displacement AD, Dazui, a typical four-guarantee and one-hero, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Seeing EDG's big ban in the first round, Kkoma's expression suddenly changed, knowing that his opponent had already guessed his BP idea.
He originally thought about grabbing the pig girl first, but in the second and third choices, he directly locked Lulu's mouth. He didn't expect Nofe, an old guy, to see through his thoughts so early.
It's too late to change the idea now, and Kkoma has already invested the Ban position in the prince, which is considered a sunk cost, so we can only continue BP according to the original idea.
Since we plan to grab the pig girl, it is impossible to leave Xia as a hero outside. Once EDG, which is famous for its laning suppression power, gets the Phoenix Legend combination in the bottom lane, Bang will probably be defeated by the opponent in ten minutes in its current state.
.
And with EDG taking out Varus in the third hand, the first round of bans on both sides have been completed. There are four ADC heroes in the six ban positions. Obviously, the winner of this game has a high probability.
It's AD.
The game hasn't even started yet, but the eyes of the world are already focused on the bottom lane!
"As soon as SKT grabs the pig girl, then EDG should be the wine barrel," Guan Zeyuan guessed, "Then for the second hand, let's choose one between Feng Nu and Lulu."
"In the end, I locked Lulu. In fact, I think Feng Nu is better. Although Meiko's Feng Nu almost had a big problem earlier, his performance in laning is still remarkable," Miller lamented.
.
That wave can only be said that Wolf drove well. Not everyone can avoid Luo's R and dodge W to start the team like Majesty and Theshy. Wasn't the factory director's excavator also hit by the attack?
"In this way, SKT locked up Feng Nu. Now it depends on what AD they plan to use."
Kkoma is in a very difficult position.
In Big Mouth, Varus and Xia have been banned one after another. Currently, the only version of the big-core ADC left out there is a mouse, and this mouse was obviously deliberately given to them by EDG.
If you take it, EDG will definitely have a backup plan to deal with rats; if you don't take it, the previous arrangement will be useless, and EDG will also get a terrible teamfight combination like Lulu Rat.
If it were SKT before the World Championship, Kkoma might not even hesitate and lock Bang directly. He believed that SKT's strength could completely survive the disadvantage period caused by the Conte effect, and postponed it to the mid-to-late stage.
Teamfight comeback.
Why not replace the mouse with a cannon? Anyway, the cannon is also a T1-level ADC in the current version.
However, when Kkoma's eyes focused on Xiao Pao's avatar, he suddenly had a bad feeling, as if choosing Xiao Pao would bring misfortune to the team.
So in the end he asked Faker to help lock down the mouse.
Teacher Da Fei seemed to like the hero Mouse very much, and even smiled cheerfully when he showed it.
Scout's backhand helped lock down the cannon, and the first three BP moves on both sides used the bottom lane duo to jungle.
In the second round of BP, EDG first banned Shen, a classic top laner with four guarantees and one, and then banned Faker's Syndra.
The red side had the last counter position, and Nofe was going to leave the fifth choice to Scout, so he banned Syndra, who had basically no natural enemies on the other side.
SKT, on the other hand, banned two heroes that made the LPL commentators and the audience very emotional - Jayce and Gnar.
Obviously, they are worried that Theshy will be like Khan in the Spring Finals, directly leading SKT with a single belt.
"Sir, times have really changed," Miller said on the commentary table, suddenly feeling like he was in tears, "Jace has always been our LPL team's Ban LCK team, but I didn't expect to see a team like SKT ban us today.
Jess from the LPL team.”
Guan Zeyuan even stole an embarrassing sentence from someone I remember: "If the sky doesn't cause trouble, the LPL top laner will be like a long night!"
What's even more embarrassing is that the two commentators were bragging on the stage for a long time, and finally EDG chose a big bug in the top lane.
The two brothers were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, obviously a little confused.
Please, we are trying so hard to brag you, if you don’t show off your signature Riven, you have to get a crocodile anyway, right?
It was Guan Zeyuan who bit the bullet and said:
"Theshy is so team-like, I really cried to death."
SKT took advantage of the situation and added Trolls to Huni on the fourth floor to reduce the big bug's frankness in team battles. Finally, they locked Faker's signature clockwork again on the fifth floor.
In the last game, his wind was directly broken by Clint Dance, and now he is showing some dissatisfaction with it.
However, EDG didn't have Rambo or Kennen to compensate for AP damage this time, so Scout couldn't bring out Lucian like he did against SKT last time.
"Rucan, what do you want to choose from this plate?" Nofe asked kindly.
There are many heroes in the mid lane. Even without Clockwork and Syndra, there are still many popular mid laners on the scene, such as Ryze, Airplane and Snake.
But Scout doesn't want to choose any of these.
"How's the enchantress?"
He looked at the ID opposite and asked softly.
Yang Yi was shocked when he heard this.
Scout's enchantress is also unique in itself, and there is no problem in using it on any other occasion.
The only opponent sitting opposite him is SKT1-Faker.
Yang Yi instinctively wanted to ask are you sure, but he quickly held back.
You must know that this is not a solo match with the streamer. In that kind of entertainment solo game, even two soldiers can kill Faker's Zed with Zed alone.
This is the global finals. Playing Enchantress in front of Faker on such an occasion obviously requires more than just courage.
"OK, just Enchantress, we believe you." He finally said.
"Believe, believe! Don't beep, believe first!" Tian Ye also said cheerfully.
Nofe thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no big problem with this Enchantress in the lineup, and since he had already won the first place in the group anyway, it didn't matter if there were any problems, so he just let them go.
The final lineup of both sides, the blue side SKT: the top laner Troll, the wild boar girl, the mid laner Clockwork, and the bottom lane Mouse Wind Girl;
Red square EDG: top laner Big Bug, jungler Wine Barrel, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane little cannon Lulu.
"You have an absolute advantage in the bottom lane, so you must use the suppression effect."
Before leaving the stage, Nofe gave many instructions to the players, "Mingkai, just keep playing in the bottom lane as you did before. You should be very familiar with this. Rucan, if you have the chance, lean on the bottom lane and put enough pressure on him."
, Xiao Jiang, you have to withstand the pressure from the opponent on the top lane, because the opponent will definitely not be able to touch us in the lower half, so I may go to the top lane to look for you."
Jiang Chenglu nodded, indicating that he had listened.
By the way, he replied "OK, OK."
Seeing this, Nofe felt reassured and went to shake hands with Kkoma with satisfaction.
After entering the game, Mingkai planned to implement the policy of ensuring the bottom lane, and planned to directly brush from top to bottom at the beginning.
"Speaking of which, do we want to cause trouble on the first level?"
After buying the outfit for going out, Yang Yi suddenly had a whim:
"Anyway, now that we have secured the first place in the group, how about we do some extra work?"
Tian Tian frowned, "The opponent is so weak at level one, so the jungle must be defensive. It feels like it's hard to find opportunities."
Big Bug's Q, Barrel's E, Enchantress can learn the chain, and Lulu can also click to transform into a sheep. EDG's level 1 control ability and AOE are much better than SKT. If he were the commander of SKT, he would definitely be able to defend against it.
A level one invasion from EDG.
However, Klin Lawu, who has always been steady, suddenly said: "It is indeed difficult to invade the opposite jungle area, but to cause trouble, you don't necessarily have to directly enter the opposite jungle area."
"During this period, I have fully studied SKT. When their top laner Huni is on the blue square, the first level likes to stand in the grass at the entrance of the top road river."
"As long as we do this first, then this..."
After some communication, a burst of sneaky laughter suddenly came from EDG's voice channel.
Forty seconds later, the five EDG people gathered on time at the grassy intersection of the triangle on the road.
The five people crowded the grass, especially the two heroes Big Bug and Wine Barrel, who were so big that Clint almost got squeezed out of the grass, causing a wave of Mingkai not to do secret things.
Another five seconds later, Theshy's big bug wandered out of the grass, pretending that he was going to SKT's upper half of the jungle for wards.
Huni, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold it any longer, and immediately commanded the troll to rush out of the grass, and fired an AQ at the big bug.
Theshy put a Q at the troll's feet with a backhand. Huni saw that he couldn't avoid it by moving, so he wasn't too anxious. Anyway, even if he was hit by the Q, the big bug couldn't beat him in a fight.
Even Huni thinks Theshy is a bit too young. How can a big bug, a level 1 troll, learn Q? You can come up and fight a dozen if you learn an E skill, but you have to look at the troll’s face to learn a Q and even last hits!
But the moment he was knocked away, four big men suddenly emerged from the grass not far away.
A trace of cold sweat suddenly appeared on Huni's forehead.
Damn it, this young man has no moral ethics and carries out a sneak attack!
After being hit by the witch's chain, the only thought in Huni's mind was...
Theshy, you are too hot baby!
As everyone knows, all of this is actually in Zhuge Mingkai's calculations!
