The day after edg defeated skt, it was the second match day of the semi-finals.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Flash Wolves vs. clg officially started.
Mei Xia watched the game with her teammates and coaches at the base.
Although she made a statement on the trumpet yesterday about playing against fw, it was just the work of a keyboard warrior. In terms of personal preference, Meixia did not support any specific team. She just wanted to watch a game that was exciting enough.
But I thought this bo5 would be a ten-person brawl with novices pecking each other, but it turned out to be a long and stinky crushing game.
Yes, she never thought that crushing the game would allow clg and fw to reach the super late stage.
In the first game, clg relied on top laner Ekko's laning advantage. Dashan led mmd with 30 CS for ten minutes, and had a 1,000 advantage in a single lane. Then, relying on the hero's characteristics, he led the lane all the way, and in the mid-term, the lead was expanded to 4,000.
At twenty-seven minutes, clg launched a wave in the middle and destroyed fw!
Then, when the last person died, he only pushed down the fw middle crystal, and then turned around and rushed the baron.
In the end, the game was supposed to end neatly in thirty minutes, but it was pushed to thirty-three minutes, and clg won by demolishing three crystals...
In the second game, it was FW's early advantage. With the mid-field cooperation of Karsa and Maple, they established a 2,000 gold lead in fifteen minutes.
But clg won the group but didn't know how to run it, while fw only knew how to run the group but didn't know how to run the group.
The operation along the way expanded the economic lead from 2,000 to more than 4,000, but considering the time span of more than 20 minutes from the early stage to the later stage of the game, the several thousand economy gained from the operation did not actually bring them much advantage.
In the end, clg couldn't bear its temper. At 30 minutes, when Flash Wolf rushed the baron, it took the initiative to start a team and send the team to destroy it, so that the game ended after FW operated for another five minutes.
After watching the crushing games in the first two games, the game was finally evened out in the third game.
The back-and-forth scenes are a little better to watch, but the length of the game still seriously affects the excitement.
The two teams fought for a full forty minutes before clg got the Dragon Soul Destruction Crystal. Meixia came back from solving her physical problems midway, and the game was still going on!
In the fourth game, it may be that FW's mentality changed subtly at the match point, or it may be that clg recognized the truth about FW's insufficient level. The pace of the game finally accelerated, and clg took the lead in 30 minutes to bulldoze FW's base.
From Meixia's personal perspective, she thought the game was not pretty.
Dissatisfied with DW's embarrassing performance, she lowered her head and opened her phone, and opened a small account to speak, "FW, you are not in the MSI finals at all, where are you hiding! With the picture [Mika opens her mouth to shout] jpg"
However, her teammates did not object to the boring management. After all, before Mika arrived, EDG was one of the teams with the longest average game duration in the LPL.
Everyone was more surprised that fw lost the game without any resistance.
Abramovich concluded, "This year's clg seems to be quite good. They defeated skt in the group stage. Today's knockout round was also run in a well-mannered manner, very much like lck!"
The factory director nodded in agreement, "Indeed, not only have we made progress, but the European and American competitions are also constantly learning from the LCK team. We still can't relax in tomorrow's finals."
When the two of them were talking, they unconsciously glanced at the Sakura girl next to them.
After experiencing the LPL finals and yesterday's MSI semi-finals, the two of them are very experienced in Mika's selection style.
She dared to directly select many heroes who had only won one or two training matches in the game, which not only frightened her opponents, but also both her coach and teammates were often surprised.
And what's very suspicious is that every time the heroes she uses are surprisingly effective.
Although Mika most likely had a particularly strong reaction on the spot, Abu, who is suspicious by nature, still had the slightest suspicion.
This time he wanted to take the initiative to ask Mika for advice in advance, "Mixia... I saw that CLG only used Tsar and Ryze in the four games of the mid lane. He should be very good at this kind of mid lane mage hero.
For tomorrow's game, have you prepared any heroes specifically for their mid laner? Like the Titan that was suddenly brought out yesterday?"
Gu coat
Meixia looked up.
As expected of coach edg, his many wild and unconstrained hero choices finally made him doubtful.
But what does it matter even if Abramovich knew about it? Meixia had no intention of deliberately deceiving her teammates.
She said, "Me?! I haven't prepared any heroes. I just practice heroes according to the version."
"But when it comes to the idea of dealing with SKT's mid laner Titan, oh, I actually prepared a lot before the game! But I think it's useless to say it in advance, so I keep it hidden. The coach and seniors definitely want to know?"
The factory director and Abu's eyes lit up. Sure enough, Mika's many temporary changes in the past were not a sudden inspiration, but hard preparations!
She is working hard again in places we don’t know about!
"Tell me?"
After receiving the answer, Mika continued, "The mid-lane male sword can be used to defeat Huhi's Dragon King or Clockwork. I think the mid-lane Akali or the mid-lane assassin Carter can be used to deal with the Enchantress. To deal with Huhi's senior Tsar Ryze,
Senior Faker also gave me some inspiration before, and I should be able to use the mid laner Rambo or the mid laner Kieran that Faker just used!"
The factory director and Abu were silent.
Sure enough, Mika did prepare heroes in advance behind her teammates' backs! But on the other hand, the two of them suddenly felt that it was better not to know the truth.
Because you can't cater to her, just agree with her outrageous opinions on hero selection before the game starts!
"Well, it's better to use a slightly more normal hero, right?" Abu said, "Don't try heroes again in the finals. Use normal murlocs or witches, and you should be able to win!"
The factory director echoed, "Yes, yes, there is no need to use secret weapons to fight CLG. Save these heroes for critical moments in the future!"
"Okay then..." Mixia compromised.
What Abu said makes sense.
In this bo5, it seems that clg is not a strong team. Depending on the situation, she will probably be able to win with normal heroes. There is really no need to add new heroes to add variables.
And if she really wants to go to the competition, if she insists on winning the weird hero, given her status in the team, I don’t believe that Abramovich and the factory director can refuse!
When a few people were chatting about countering the mid lane hero.
During the live broadcast, the interviewee was also clg mid laner Huhi.
Host Ren Dong asked, "clg lost both games against edg in the group stage. This time they entered the finals to face edg and face mika player again. Do you have anything to say?"
Huhi took the microphone and started a short speech that he had been preparing for a long time.
"EDG is indeed the best team in the mid-season cup. My teammates and I reached a consensus on this during the group stage."
"But we are not without a chance of winning. Just like before this Bo5 game, many people seemed to think that FW's strength was similar to CLG, but the result was that we easily won 3-1 and achieved the best result in the history of LCS North American Division."
"So even though many people may think that clg will lose to edg now, I still firmly believe that my teammates and I will go all out in the finals with the goal of defeating edg."
"We want to bring back this precious Champions League trophy to LCS!"
clg's results and huhi's response undoubtedly made many viewers in North America excited. Yes, they have an unprecedented opportunity to win the first international trophy in the North American division of lcs!
One of China and the United States is aiming for the MSI double crown, and the other is aiming for the first championship in history. Moreover, due to the foreign war of edg and the dark horse attribute of clg, the result of the game has become confusing. The popularity of the finals has not been dampened by the early duel between China and South Korea. fall.
On the contrary, coupled with the Korean audience who expected edg to lose and the outside audience who heard that there were Tokyo players in the MSI finals for the first time, the popularity instantly increased!
