After the referee announced the time-recall penalty, a burst of excitement broke out in the Zenith Stadium.
“Time back??wtf??”
"Is this still possible? This is the first time I heard of such a mechanism..."
"Ym is going to win such a crucial team battle! This is so unfair!"
"There is a bug in the game. It would be unfair to Samsung if we ignore it..."
Supporters of the two teams watching the game were already arguing.
From the perspective of ym fans, the referee’s decision to backtrack the time is really unfair.
In such an anxious stage, one wave can often determine the outcome of the game.
3.7 seconds may not seem like a long time, but it resets the time point of the game back to the beginning of the team battle.
And such a golden opportunity cannot be replicated again.
However, the on-site referee spent nearly half an hour and finally implemented this penalty after repeated testing and watching the video.
So, I can only accept it.
On the ym side, the players collectively fell into a state of confusion as soon as they learned of the penalty.
Xiaotian became a little excited and repeated "How can we go back in time" several times in a row.
In the end, he calmed down at Su Chen's request.
Although I think the time-recall penalty this time is very strange.
However, Su Chen knew very well that now was not the time to care about these things.
After two minutes, the game will restart.
Now, they need to get back to the state of the game and not let this penalty affect the overall situation.
After the two minutes of preparation time is up.
The progress of the game was also reset to 3.7 seconds ago.
On the battlefield in the lower river.
Xiaotian kicked Lucian down to the wall of the river. The moment the second section of Tian's sound wave reached Lucian, corejj threw the lantern at the feet of Emperor Chi.
Lucian passed through the wall and took the blind monk with him.
Crown Brother's Galio immediately handed the ultimate move [Hero Appearance] to Lucian, and after landing, he directly knocked the blind monk away!
Chi Di moved to distance himself, and Lucian's two bullets penetrated the blind monk's body with holy light, killing him!
On the other side, Khan, who originally planned to TP on the road, already knew that Sword Lady had found her position, so he returned to the defense tower. Instead of choosing TP, he threw his ultimate move [Cannon Barrage] at the river.
After the hail of bullets covered his left hand, Leader An's second consecutive big move of eq covered his left hand's aircraft, forcing him to dodge away.
The Titan, which had been stuck in the center of the battlefield, was also killed by Lucian, the ruler of the ruler, who made a comeback.
Nosuke was killed in action, and the plane was forced to flash.
The ruler who was supposed to be killed by a cannon from his left hand got a double kill after picking up the lantern.
On the way, Sword Lady and the captain were in a stalemate on the line, neither of them reached the river, and Khan was killed in the battle without being eliminated by Sword Lady.
The situation that was originally good for ym was reversed in an instant after going back in time!
The third fire dragon was also captured by Samsung.
Many viewers who reopened the live broadcast room and prepared to watch the game while eating takeout were stunned when they saw this scene.
The three commentators of lpl were also dumbfounded at this time.
"This... after going back in time, the entire team battle situation has been completely rewritten. Now the situation is very unfavorable to ym." I remember suppressing my emotions and said with difficulty.
"Samsung got three fire dragons, and Emperor Chi also got a double kill. Among them, Xiaotian's head carried a bounty of 300 yuan. This time he directly supplemented the economy by 1,000 yuan. Lucian's Endless is also about to be made.
." Guan Zeyuan didn't know what to say.
Although he is a Samsung fan in private, in the commentary box, as an LPL commentator, he must be objective and fair.
However, the time retrieval mechanism introduced by MSI was something he had never seen before in his commentary career.
"This Thresh's lantern can't be thrown against a wall, can it be called a bug? I've been a professional for so many years, and this is the first time I've heard of this." Uzi kept shaking his head.
After experiencing the reversal of the team battle in Hedao.
Samsung regained control of the game.
Leader An and Crown Brother began to put constant pressure on Su Chen, who was playing alone on the wing.
When Chi Di saw Wheel Mom in the middle, he directly slid forward and rode on his face. He used a set of combos to hit Wheel Mom with double moves!
"It's bad, the ruler is up again this round." I remember shaking my head.
Originally, in the third game, YM did not let King Chi get ez or Kai'Sa, and when Samsung won Lucian, it did not give King King an advantage online.
As a result, Chikui has been constantly replenishing his development, and his play style is also very stable.
However, after the last wave of team battles replenished the economy by 1,000 yuan, Lucian stood up again.
With Thresh by his side, his condition is the same as when Kai'Sa gained the advantage.
During the transition period of these few minutes, Samsung replenished its troops in an orderly manner.
Khan's captain also made three phases and endless blades at this time, and the damage from the powder keg was enough to threaten ym's front row.
25 minutes and 13 seconds.
The fourth fire dragon will be refreshed soon.
The two sides once again competed for the view of the river area.
On Samsung's side, Thresh, Galio, and Prince directly joined forces and entered the lower half of YM's wild area, and started scanning to clear out the field of vision.
After clearing the line pushed by Sword Girl on the top lane, Khan directly moved to the line of troops on the bottom lane. After entering the river, he planted several gunpowder barrels.
On the YM side, they relied on the poke consumption of the left-hand aircraft to advance towards the river.
On the other side, Xiaotian's blind monk entered the river from the triangular grass in the bottom lane and lurked in the back row of Samsung's lineup.
His target is still Lucian of the Ruler Emperor.
While the two sides were fighting, the blind monk flashed his eyes and came behind Lucian in an instant, kicking him out of the crowd with a swish of the dragon's tail!
"Xiaotian has reached Chichi Emperor again! Can ym focus his fire and kill him instantly!?"
The moment Lucian was kicked out, Samsung reacted very quickly. Galio immediately put [Hero's Appearance] on Lucian, while Leader An directly used his second consecutive ultimate move, covering the plane and the wheel mother like a suicide squad.
.
Lucian was not killed immediately, Samsung counterattacked decisively!
After the captain's cannon barrage covered the battlefield, a two-barreled bomb blasted away most of Wheel Mom's health, and the ruler also fired the Holy Spear, wildly shooting at the damage-resistant Titans in the front row.
In the end, ym assisted the Titan and died.
Samsung immediately started moving the fourth dragon.
Su Chen, who demolished the second tower on the top lane, decisively handed over the TP and came to the bottom lane.
But Galio and Thresh were stuck at the pass of the river, preventing Sword Lady from entering the battlefield.
Xiaotian touched the edge of the dragon pit again, trying to snatch the little dragon from the hands of Master An.
But unfortunately, the fight failed.
The blind monk who entered the Xiaolong Pit with the second stage of Tianyin Wave was killed by Chi Di with a few shots.
Samsung captured the fourth fire dragon!
Relying on the attack power gain brought by the fire dragon, Samsung directly grouped together and pushed down the second tower in the middle of ym.
Then, after returning to the city for supplies, the dragon decisively forced the group.
After the opponent gets four fire dragons, if he loses another baron, then there will basically be no chance of a head-on battle.
ym was forced to come over to fight this wave of dragon team battles.
But in one turn, Samsung designed it perfectly.
The captain ambush explosive barrels in the wild area in advance, destroying the health of the Titan in the front row.
Leader An caught the left-hand plane that was outputting from the flank.
After the left hand of Prince eq used W [Valkyrie's Charge] to retreat, he then blocked it with his big move, and then the leader of An's big move fell. Lucian e stepped forward, and all the bullets from the Holy Spear were poured on the aircraft.
.
He pressed the stopwatch with his left hand, but to no avail. Lucian still took the head.
Without the threat of aircraft output, the ruler began to fully harvest the battlefield.
Following Thresh's lantern, he caught up with ym's back row and bovy's wheel mother. Lucian easily killed him with a few shots.
Faced with Xiaotian's maneuver, Lucian, after twisting away his Tianyin Wave, followed up with a set of combos to kill him.
In this round, Lucian scored a wave of three kills!
Four members of Dalongkeng YM were killed. After Su Chen led Samsung through the bottom lane, he returned to defense with TP, but he still could not stop Samsung's advance.
Finally, 28 minutes and 41 seconds.
ym crystal explosion!
Samsung won the third game and led with a score of 2 to 1!
The moment the game ends.
The Samsung players took off their headphones one after another, with excited expressions on their faces.
Even Chief An, who had always been serious about his words, showed a smile at this moment.
This game, for Samsung, is not just a match point game.
More importantly, in the fourth game the ownership of the blue side will return to Samsung's hands again.
In other words, they will regain the initiative on BP.
The director meaningfully gave Samsung support player corejj a long shot.
As the most inconspicuous person in the team, he always acted based on the expressions of Emperor Chi and Leader An.
However, in this game, it was precisely because of his bug report that the situation that was originally good for ym took a turn for the worse after going back in time.
After Samsung won the third game, the lck forum burst into cheers.
"The victory in this game is really crucial. Now in the fourth game, geng has returned to the blue side. I feel that the final victory is not far away!"
"There was a bug in the game, which was already very unfriendly to geng. Fortunately, we still won the game. Now we just need to win the next game! The MSI championship belongs to lck!"
"As expected, ym's players still lack experience in the international arena. I feel that after the timeout, their condition has dropped a lot. Of course, they can't win against geng."
"JKD's Jian Ji was a little lost in the middle and late stages of the game. He was too obsessed with suppressing Khan in the solo lane, but geng's soul player is actually the ruler! In this round of the series, he is the one who dominates the game.
people!"
"What are you thinking? Of course the MSI championship belongs to LCK. That time in 2015 was only because there were players like Pawn and Deft in EDG. Five Chinese people alone cannot beat us."
Three games into the series, when ym is on the red side, their loopholes in BP are difficult to make up for.
This is why the lck audience was so excited after Samsung won the third game.
With a score of two to one, ym will be forced back to the red side again in the fourth game.
In their view, the MSI championship is just around the corner.
at the same time.
The domestic LoL circle in China has completely exploded because of this "time backtracking" penalty that appeared in the third game.
Topics such as "time back", "geng won the third game", "msi", etc. directly became hot searches.
In the comment area of the penalty announcement posted on the official Weibo, thousands of comments instantly appeared.
"Threstone's lantern can't be thrown through a wall, so it's called a bug??? What the hell is time backtracking? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"This wave of penalties directly changed the trend of the third game. If it is geng who wins the MSI championship today, then I am sorry, but I will not watch lo's games again."
"Disgusting! I can only say it's disgusting! In order to win the championship, Samsung even resorted to such extravagant tactics. What else is there to fight for? Just award the prize!"
"I don't think the referee is biased in favor of Samsung. After all, the host is Paris. Everyone should calm down. The most important thing now is that the players' mentality should be stable. If you don't have the right to choose sides in the fourth game, it will be really difficult."
"To be honest, I think it's gone. Samsung won the blue side in the fourth game. Even if ym bans ez and Kai'Sa, Ruler Emperor can still take Lucian, and Crown Brother can take Sword Girl, and Leader An can still
It's really hard to beat a scorpion."
"Oh, it's like this every year. I'd better not watch international competitions in the future. It's really annoying."
Pessimism, disappointment, anger and other negative emotions have enveloped the entire LPL competition area.
Even the professional players and game anchors who were also watching the game expressed their difficulty in accepting the backdated penalty in the third game.
RNG's substitute top laner's posture was even customized on the spot, showing the audience whether it was a bug for Thresh to throw a lantern through the wall and get stuck.
However, no matter how dissatisfied the lpl is with this time-retrospection penalty, the result of the game has already been produced, and no matter how much discussion it is, it will be of no use.
Fortunately, ym still has a chance to drag the game into the fifth game.
…
Inside the viewing box.
A group of people from the Riot headquarters in Los Angeles were watching the game in the room.
Although there is a huge screen in the room showing the game.
But this group of designer otakus have always been unique. They each brought tablets and laptops, wandering around in various corners of the room, putting on headphones and watching the game on their own.
"What a pity. I thought ym could win the third game." The bald "August" was leaning on the sofa, holding a freshly opened bottle of Coke in his hand, and drank a few sips.
"I thought that the time retrieval mechanism added this year would basically not be used, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at such a critical stage." Ji Wen shook his head.
As a designer at Riot Headquarters, he is naturally very aware of the updates and changes in the MSI competition system.
The "time backtracking" mechanism was officially announced at the beginning of this year and was confirmed to be used on the MSI halfway through the Spring Split.
Bugs occasionally occur in e-sports events. The "time back" mechanism is added to reduce the interference of bugs to the fairness of the competition as much as possible.
Further improve and promote the development of lol competitive events.
However, this penalty in today's third game did affect the direction of the game.
Ji Wen can imagine the mood of ym fans.
Even he himself felt it was a pity.
"Do you think ym can come back in the fourth game?" Ji Wen asked.
August shook his head: "Actually, after three games, the advantages and shortcomings of both sides are basically obvious."
"YM is strong in the upper jungle, while Samsung is balanced in all aspects, and its AD position is more prominent."
"However, although JKD is better than Khan, the core position of the MSI version is still in AD. You and I both know this."
"This is why ym must find ways to protect the bottom lane on BP."
As August spoke, he enthusiastically placed the fries on the table, simulating the possible BP of both sides in the fourth game.
Soon, there were two rows of ten French fries on the table.
August repeatedly simulated the BP of both sides in the fourth game several times.
Anyway, no matter how you ban it, there will be a big hole in the ym on the red side that cannot be solved.
Ji Wen frowned after listening to his analysis, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"I'm not saying that it's not possible for ym to win the fourth game. If geng's state fluctuates seriously, it would be normal for ym to win one game."
"But this team is the defending champion of the S-League, and LCK has always been very stable in international competitions. I think it's very difficult."
"Okay, it's exactly what you said." Ji Wen sighed.
As Riot designers, they view the game as professionally as professional players and official commentators.
What's more, he also participated in the version update of msi.
He knows very well the importance of ad position to this version.
YM's performance in MSI is indeed outstanding, and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology also performed amazingly.
However, after losing the crucial third game of the blue side, it was difficult for him to solve the most fundamental problem of ym.
In this case, the 2018 MSI champion will be Geng as expected.
"But Lucian's performance was beyond my expectations," August said. "I originally thought that after the adjustment, the burst of this hero in the mid-term would be reduced, but I didn't expect that the effect of using the ruler was really good."
"It's still not as good as ez and Kai'Sa." Ji Wen said casually.
"Given the same development time, ez's two-piece set is much better than Lucian's at the moment, and after Kai'Sa gets the three-piece set, she will completely widen the gap with Lucian."
"But during the laning phase, the strength of this hero is still ranked first, but AD mainly plays a role in the mid-to-late team battles, so I don't think geng will be used in the next game." August shook his head.
said.
Ji Wen subconsciously wanted to ask, "What about ym?", but he swallowed the words again.
He also knew very well that bovy would not use a hero like Lucian.
It is impossible for ym to come up with new tricks in this position to reverse the adversity.
If you want to win the fourth game, drag the game into the fifth game.
There is a high probability that ym will still make a fuss on the top lane.
Ji Wen is also curious about what heroes YM will bring to Jiang Keda to save this series in this situation where BP is at a disadvantage.
