The finals are always taken a hundred times more seriously than the semi-finals, so the lck finals are scheduled one week after the semi-finals to allow players enough time to prepare.
The semi-finals of the LPL playoffs will proceed as usual and will be held on the 14th two days later.
Edg, who has not played a game for a whole week, will finally make his debut in the bubble game bo5!
At one o'clock that afternoon, it was still the familiar Hongqiao Performing Arts Center, but the seats for the regular season games, with less than 70% occupancy, were now packed to the brim.
edg has many fans, and the number of we fans, known as 6 billion, is not far behind. The red and black lights on the scene are clearly separated, just like the chess pieces separated by Chu River and Han Street.
The commentary desk specially arranged for the female commentator Su Xiaoyan, who was classified as an edg supporter because she commented on the mid-season cup final bo5, and because her ex-boyfriend was a former adc player of WE, Su Xiaoyan, who was recognized as a fan of WE.
"Okay, welcome to the third round of the 2016 lpl summer playoffs. Today there will be two BO5s to determine the final team to compete in the finals!" I remember saying even more excitedly than usual.
"That's right, the match between edg and we is about to start, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, it will be rng versus im! It must be very exciting!" Su Xiaoyan said.
"So back to the current game scene, edg is playing against we. The former is the defending champion in the spring split. It refreshed the history of lpl with a complete victory in the summer regular season. The latter's young 2:0 version of we won the championship two days ago.
Defeated vg 3-1, full momentum!"
"Okay, the camera is also on the court! EDG ranked higher in the regular season, so they got the priority to choose sides in the first, third and fifth rounds, and they chose the blue side first - eh!" Su Xiaoyan's eyes flashed.
.
As a female commentator, her ability to observe players' attire is far better than others.
"What?" Remember to ask.
"Well, I saw that mika seemed to have a new hairstyle today?!"
"Hey, it seems so..." Since the camera hasn't shown a close-up yet, I remember I could only squint my eyes to observe.
Finally the screen changed from the factory director to mika.
She has never cut her hair in the lpl for more than half a year. Originally, her over-the-ear mushroom haircut was shoulder-length and then chest-length. Her side-twisted double ponytail hairstyle in the summer games was no longer very suitable, so she found an opportunity before the playoffs.
Went into the barber shop.
In the picture now, Mika is wearing two slender braids hanging from her shoulders, with delicate facial features like an anime character. There is not much earthiness, but she looks unusually peaceful.
"The twin ponytails look a bit like Jinx, if you dye your hair blue!" I remember commenting.
"No, Mika doesn't have that temperament normally. She is too sweet and lacks the crazy feeling of Jinx..." Su Xiaoyan shook her head. As one of the first batch of League of Legends cosplayers, she usually fantasized about many suitable cosplays for Mixia.
"It is said that the Alliance will release a series of magical girl skins next month, and Jinx in the sneak peek poster looks very similar to Mika."
"Haha, it's true that Mika's appearance lacks aggression... But today's opponents, the WE players, will definitely not think so." The camera left Mika and turned to the nervous-looking WE players. I remember that I also felt this.
The camera scanned the players.
The competition bp has officially begun.
The blue side edg bans Karma, Shen and Ezreal.
These three are the heroes that we three c players performed eye-catchingly in the last bo5.
The red side disables the captain, rock bird and vampire.
The ban on the two mid lane heroes of Rock Bird Vampire is obviously due to fear of mika.
As for the remaining captains, there have been no major changes in the last three versions. However, due to the popularity of two global heroes, Yanque and Shen, the commentators and the audience thought that we did not want mouse to choose the captain.
But we are more afraid of Mika, who used the captain to perform superbly in the spring playoffs.
If she uses the captain to do a mid-up swing, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with!
When it was the turn to select someone, against an opponent like we whose hard power was weaker than edg, even the most cautious coach Abu had no intention of forcing a routine - he didn't want to play a routine and end up playing himself into the routine.
So edg openly and openly robbed Reksai from the factory director.
Then we backhandedly selected Bull Head and Wine Barrel, both of which are powerful heroes in the version.
"Mouse, do you want the big tree or the gnarl?" the coach asked.
Ever since he was almost defeated by Gnarr's Gnar in the last round of the regular season, Mouse has been practicing Gnar hard this week, and is often encouraged by Mika in training matches, and his self-confidence has surged into his heart.
"Naru!" He nodded fiercely.
edg then locked down Gnar and Ice.
We choose Ekko and Jhin again.
Su Xiaoyan has done detailed research on WE players, and she commented, "Ike, the third choice Ike should have the possibility of swinging in the middle. Although 957 has been used a lot recently, xiye ranked third from the bottom in the regular season.
The wheel has also been used."
"So, what will Edg choose for Mika?" I remember thinking, "She has recently practiced the version of the hero Syndra, I don't know if she will choose it, and then the recently strengthened Lissandra. By the way, did Mika choose the assassin?
, maybe like Kassadin? He also happens to be a good counter to Ike!"
Although everyone says that the mika hero pool is not suitable for this mage version.
But if you really calculate it carefully, this Sakura girl has more than five heroes in her hand, which is more than enough to play in the professional league!
And maybe at some point, she will be able to pull out a weird and really useful hero that makes people hard to guard against...
On the field, Edg first locked Braum for the support to counter Jhin.
Then in the last move, Abramovich continued to leave the choice to Mika himself, just like in the regular season.
Meixia's eyes flashed across the many heroes one by one.
She's not thinking about which heroes to choose.
It’s about determining which heroes cannot be chosen!
The playoff version is very close to the World Championship. There are many heroes who are still unknown and were not developed by players until the knockout stage of the World Championship.
Like the clockwork in the middle, the snake girl...
And the most famous example, the wandering mage Ryze!
The third version of Ryze has just been reworked in version 6.14, which means that his ultimate move has been officially changed into a hemispheric skill, which is another peak in its history. However, it was not until the knockout stage of the World Championship that Faker discovered him and became a star for other teams.
A must-ban hero queen.
If America and Summer select these heroes during the LPL playoffs, they can definitely complete the dimensionality reduction attack on WE.
But it is different from the previous regular season selection of heroes like Jhin who are destined to be popular in the playoffs, or heroes like Big Mouth who are unpopular but very powerful, so as to promote LPL teams to learn version capabilities.
It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Whatever Mixia can teach the LPL division, she has already taught it in the regular season. After this round of playoffs, the LPL has barely played a few games.
In other words, her use of Ryze Snake Girl will not only make the LCK team alert in advance, but it will not do any good to improve the level of the competition!
So Miha has defeated many heroes.
In the first playoff game, just play a little more conservatively.
"I want this!"
A man wearing a metal mask appears in the selection box.
"Join the glorious evolution!" a mechanical voice sounded.
"Victor! Did Mika train Victor in one season? But Victor has just been weakened and is not as strong as at the beginning of the season..." Commentator Su Xiaoyan covered her mouth in surprise.
Remember to look forward to, "Mika's Victor in the regular season actually performed well, but it was not as strong as her other heroes. I wonder if the selection for this playoffs will bring us a different performance!"
Seeing the long-handed hero Victor's lock, we immediately changed the choice of mid laner and moved Ekko to the top lane.
The mid laner chooses Drizzt, the card master!
Although she likes Mika very much, Su Xiaoyan, who has to show her affection to WE for commentary reasons, immediately explained, "Global flow! This version of global flow is very popular, and the WE team tradition is also global flow. Xiye should have inherited a lot from Ruofeng.
Experience it! This hand is very beautiful!"
As a weak team, we's BP routine was finally revealed in the last move!
Both sides have also decided on their lineup.
Blue side edg, top laner Gnar, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Victor, adc Ice and auxiliary Braum.
Red square we, top laner Ekko, jungle barrel, mid laner card, adc Jhin and auxiliary bull head.
