On the afternoon of January 22nd, edg ushered in its second opponent in this spring split, vici gaming, also known as vg.
What do you think of the vg team?
In Loli's words, they are a team that has always been willing to spend money.
Although they have never achieved anything famous, and their best result in the past few years was to participate in the third seed qualifying tournament of last year's S6, their boss did not let it go bad, but instead increased their investment.
VG makes a lot of moves during the transfer period every year. Last year, they signed mid laner Easyhoon and jungler Dandy, nicknamed "Master Hou" and "Double Three". This champion midfielder pair brought great changes to VG.
Coupled with Loong, a stable top laner with C, this top, middle and jungle iron triangle combination is quite competitive among all LPL teams. No team dares to say that it can win the competition in the upper half.
vg.
VG also made big moves this year. During the transfer period, they signed up easyhoon's old teammate and Triple Crown jungler Bengi, who has the same honor as Faker. They are trying to take a step further around this pair of skt's midfielder combination and strive to get the card leading to the game.
Tickets to the World Series.
But what puzzles many people is that Dandy's performance in vg last year, although he cannot be said to be the most talented one in the team. After all, there is also a "savior of vg" in the team, but he is definitely one of the team's strong players.
The biggest reason why vg failed in the bubble match last year was because of the bottom lane. To be precise, it was because the adc was too bad, but vg's two adcs, endless and Xuanxuanpi, are definitely the crouching dragons and phoenixes of the e-sports world!
Not only the dishes, but also the dishes are very unique. Last year, there was a bo5 in the bubble competition. The two people took turns to compete, which almost made Hou Ye cry.
When leaving SKT, Mr. Hou said that he wanted to relieve himself of the burden and did not want to be compared with Faker. Unexpectedly, when he came to LPL, he actually had to bear another burden.
As a result, the boss of vg kept these two pitfalls this year, but instead kicked one of the team's thighs, and also found a substitute assistant with the ID name hetong for the support section that performed well.
Not to mention that fans of vg and easyhoon can't figure it out, Yang Yi feels that vg's transfer operation is simply outrageous - he is actually a fan of Mr. Hou.
Yang Yi admires the player Easyhoon very much, mainly because he saw the interview he gave when he left SKT.
[...I played well in the first two games and won those two games. I originally thought I would continue to play the third game, but Faker replaced me and ended the game. When I
When he walked off the stage, Faker made a domineering appearance, and all the audience stood up and cheered loudly for him, "Faker!"
When I slowly left the stage, for a while, endless thoughts came to my mind, "What role do I play in this team? Does everyone want to see Faker instead of me?"]
Looking at the description in this paragraph, although Yang Yi could not sympathize with Easyhoon's feelings at that time, he could still imagine that it was an experience that was not easy to overcome. Assuming that he was in the situation that the Marquis faced at that time, he would probably return to
The rest room must be suffering from some kind of psychological problem.
According to the previous plan and the performance of recent training matches, the coaching staff determined that Yang Yi would continue to start in this game. After Yang Yi learned the news, he was also furious.
Gu Yue
Facing Easyhoon, a respectable opponent, in the next game, he will not only not give in, but will show a 100% attitude and try his best to defeat vg's adc, so that vg's management can take a closer look.
,What kind of valuables did they find for Mr. Hou?
In the end, things went more smoothly than Yang Yi imagined.
Just the day before this game, because vg's top laner Loong had a physical problem and was unable to play on the day of the game, vg could only temporarily find a substitute top laner to support the scene.
However, Brother Long has no substitute in vg, and it is unreliable to let Pipi Xuan or Endless, two people who don't even understand how to play adc, to play the top lane, so they can only go to lspl to temporarily rent a top laner.
It stands to reason that this is an excellent opportunity to directly rise from the secondary league to the top league, but the players of lspl are not stupid. This kind of vg is obviously an emergency. If you go there, it will be a temporary bo3, and you will definitely have to play after the game.
Become a water cooler keeper.
In LSPL, it is not that there are no strong top laners who can compete with Loong for rotation. For example, the top laner of the DS team, Meimengxing Zoom, has great potential, but VG obviously has no attraction for these players with promising futures. In the end, they
Only one free man named onion was found.
(The onion player later changed his ID to mogu and has been playing in the secondary league until 2021. The last game of his career was against ksg, and he also contributed the last victory of his career to the ksg.otto player.
)
As a result, the top, middle and jungle iron triangle structure that vg had always relied on collapsed. Even if vg chose a bastard like Titan in the top lane for two consecutive games, the problem was still not solved. Onion played Titan from behind in the first game.
, the lane was actually crushed dozens of times by Aguang's big tree. Who dares to believe this?
It's even worse in the bottom lane. In order to reduce the burden on his idol Easyhoon, Yang Yi was ruthless when he beat Pipixuan.
When vg took the lead in grabbing version T0 level Varus, he took out the policewoman who was not very popular this season, and paired it with Meiko's assistant Zyra, and directly smashed Pipixuan's head online.
.
Although the EDG duo did not get a lane kill during the laning phase, within eight minutes, Pipixuan's Varus was directly beaten back to the city four times by Yang Yi's policewoman, and was even more suppressed in the last-ditch attack.
More than thirty knives were used to inflict pain on Mr. Hou who was resisting the pressure in the middle.
vg chose a mid-field combination of aircraft excavator for Hou Ye and Benji. The original intention was to play around Verus in the bottom lane in the early stage, so that the aircraft in the middle lane could develop obscenely.
As a result, when the stupid chicken wanted to catch every wave, he looked at his own ADC and found that either his health was too low, or he was beaten home, and he couldn't help him. If he caught the middle lane, he was afraid of being counter-crouched by the opponent.
The edg midfielder is a Syndra blind monk. Originally, Lolita lived in the middle lane in this game. Playing 2v2 with the opponent with the aircraft excavator was too risky. As a result, the stupid chicken could only check the steps on WeChat in the jungle until the end of the game.
There was no effective gank on the line, and in the end it achieved a record of 0-2-2 and an output of 4960.
All the viewers who were looking forward to Bengji's debut in the LPL were shocked. They thought that this Triple Crown jungler didn't seem to be any better than 4396?
In the second game, Bengji got even more aggressive. He took out the blind monk and wanted to give Ai Luoli a teaching round. In the end, he ended up with 0-3-3 data and an output of 6328.
After the game, no one cared about what Yang Yi did to Pipixuan in the lane. There was only one focus of discussion - how did Bengji, the Triple Crown jungler, become such a bum after leaving Faker?
