The time comes to Saturday, March 4th, there are two games before edg, and the top teams are also strong.
First, we defeated ig 2-0. Although we lost to edg a year ago, the state of the we team was not affected. Instead, we became more and more courageous and won four consecutive victories and ranked second in the Group B standings.
Then qg faced off against omg. This year was the time when doinb came back from lspl to shine. With the help of clid, they also won 2-0 neatly and clung to WE's third position in Group B.
After two games, it’s finally dinner time!
The host desk is still the lpl commentator doll, "Okay, welcome to the third match day of the fourth week of the lpl spring split. The match between edg and rng will begin soon!
Wow, just looking at the statistics of the two teams is a luxury. Before today, edg maintained an undefeated status and never lost a small game. Although rng lost two small games, its overall record was not far behind.
Let, they occupy the top spot in Group A with five wins and zero losses."
His partner is also Miller, "That means no matter which team wins, another team will break their unbeaten record. Who do you think it will be?"
Faced with her partner's jokes, Wawa didn't dare to answer them at all.
"It's hard to say. For EDG, the problem is still the same as last year. They relied too much on the mid laner. Once Sakura Girl doesn't perform well, the game will be very dangerous.
But the problem is that Mika has been in LPL for a year and a half, and except for the first few games, she has never performed poorly, not even when she has performed averagely!"
"As for this year's rng, it is different from edg. Each of their positions is very even. It can be said that there are no flaws. But the problem is also there. It is easy for mika to break through alone..."
After a pertinent analysis of the lineups of the two teams, the big screen actually gave up the brief interview filmed before the game.
There is even a pre-match trash talk session that usually only occurs in the playoffs. It can be seen that the LPL official takes this derby very seriously.
In the first game, only Xiaohu’s answers were included.
"I haven't prepared any special tactics against Mika this time. My current idea is to just do my own thing."
"Mika's assassin is weakened in this version of Youmu, so I'll just fight it normally. I shouldn't be too afraid of her assassin."
Xiaohu was not in much mood after being called out for wasting time on business. In addition, he was really under a lot of pressure from facing Mika, so his answers were dry.
[Why is Brother Huzi’s voice so hollow?]
[There is no confidence in this]
[It feels like there is no middle road...]
A bunch of trash talk made the audience's confidence in rng drop significantly.
Even Uzi from the rng team, who entered the field and sat in the players' seat, laughed, "Huzi, these few words of yours have made us all lose our ability to fight."
"Ichao, how can I say that I will win against Mika? I told you that someone must believe me!" Xiaohu retorted helplessly.
"Brother Hu Zi, this is called showing off the enemy's weakness to paralyze EDG, good tactics!" Ming still understands the art of language.
In the edg team, coach Abramovich really looks down on rng.
"Mika, actually you can still play assassin, why don't you let the opponent see your assassin hero in the first game!"
Meixia still shook her head.
If it were normal times, she might have followed Abu.
After all, there are still several assassin heroes that I want to play but haven’t taken out yet.
But after watching the previous game between qg and omg, and seeing the hero selected by qg, she knew that if she didn't steal this hero, doinb would probably become the founder of a new routine.
As E-Sports Silas, he must steal it!
"Xiaohu is a very powerful senior, I must go all out! Show him my latest moves!"
Abu had no choice but to agree with Sakura Girl's idea.
This is where the bp from both sides started.
The EDG on the blue side disables the male gun, Malzahar and Mantis in the first three hands.
The red rng bans Jess, Enchantress and Poodle.
That's right, Qinggangying has been released again!
This is the BP advantage gained by being on the blue side!
RNG didn't have enough seats, so in the last move when edg banned mantis, they had to ban poodle, so there was a supermodel hero named Qinggangying outside the game!
As soon as they entered the selection process, EDG locked Qinggang Ying almost instantly!
However, rng is naturally prepared. Although edg Qinggangying has the possibility of swinging in the mid-to-upper range, there is a high probability that it will still go up. And in this version, there are still heroes who can keep up with Qinggangying in the top lane.
rng locked Shen and Syndra with the first two hands!
Shen was dug out from the previous version as Big Tree's replacement, but in this version Big Tree has been cut. Shen naturally becomes the strongest hero in the top lane besides Qinggang Shadow. The most important thing is that Shen's ultimate move is very effective against Qinggang Shadow.
The single cut of the steel shadow has a strong restraining effect, which is more suitable than the big tree in this regard!
Wait until edg is second or third hand.
Kalma and Varus elected.
The summoner skill [Weakness] has been greatly reduced, and coupled with the weakening of armor-piercing armor, the attack speed flow Varus, which was enhanced in the previous version, is immediately upgraded to the top of the AD position.
As for Karma, she is the new auxiliary choice that stands out after the female gun Zyra Ice has been weakened one after another.
Further down rng, the third hand will get Ice, as a choice to compete with Varus.
Then comes the second round of bp.
edg disables blind monks and excavators.
Because the opponent's midfielder and jungler are sure to deal AP damage, when banning the jungler, it is enough to only target the AD hero.
rng bans Ekko and Kassadin, both of whom are heroes that have advantages against Syndra.
Then it was time for RNG to select players, which indeed far exceeded EDG's predictions. When the top and middle players were both focused on AP output, RNG also selected AP for the jungler!
Spider Queen Yin Lisi!
"This was originally the hero I wanted to choose..." The factory director felt very uncomfortable, "Is it interesting to grab instead of ban?"
"Senior Factory Director, what should I do?" Meixia asked while suppressing a smile.
There is really no hero left in the jungle position at this time.
"Then let's take Olaf. This Hero World Championship is specially used to restrain spiders..." The factory director finally made the decision, but when he said Olaf, his mind was filled with the fact that he was accused of not pressing the button for two seconds under the tower in the World Championship.
The picture of the ultimate move...
Olaf is locked down, and EDG is more critical in the final selection.
Their second pick, Karma, can only be regarded as a support in the eyes of the audience and commentators.
But it's not.
The mid laner that Mei Xia wants to bring out in advance is Karma!
So the last hand can only be given to the assistant.
Meiko decided to choose Toad for herself, so the entire edg lineup changed.
"What's the situation, Karma can be the mid laner?" Seeing Toad locked, the commentator responded quickly but still couldn't understand, "But choosing Karma as the mid laner for Sakura Girl is even more wrong! How can Mika, a recognized assassin player, accept it?
…”
Miller said formulaically, "Let's wait until the BP is completed and see how EDG adjusts the lineup..."
What adjustments can be made? Apart from Karma, Edg has no other hero who can play the mid lane...
The audience and commentators were still thinking about Abramovich's BP, and RNG selected the newly shaved support Zyra.
Enter to change summoner skills and swap heroes.
And soon, the lineup was assigned.
On edg's side, the top laner is Qinggangying, the jungler Olaf, the mid laner Kalma, the adc Verus and the auxiliary Toad.
rng team, top laner Shen, jungler Spider, mid laner Syndra, adc Ice and support Zyra.
For a while, the audience was talking about EDG actually choosing Karma as the mid laner for Mika!
