Chapter 192 Take the road of EDG, let EDG be cornered
The director frowned and walked quickly in the player tunnel, thinking about the team's current situation.
No matter what the reason was, edg was already trailing omg 0-2 in this semi-final bo5.
To advance to the finals, it means that edg will have to win three consecutive games.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.
Let two chase three, which has always been extremely rare in the League of Legends professional league.
Even if we expand our focus to all competition regions around the world, there are only a handful of handicaps that occur every year.
Since the establishment of the edg team, have you ever had the experience of letting two players chase three players?
It hasn't happened yet, the factory director thought in his mind.
When was the closest edg came to achieving the goal of letting two chase three?
Undoubtedly it was the civil war against the Royal Family in the quarterfinals in the S4 Global Finals.
In that global finals, Nami, who was the adc of the edg team at the time, fell into a disastrous state after eating a bowl of beef noodles in the 4v province, and she also left behind the age-old joke of "beef noodles".
After stumbling out of the group stage, EDG ran into the Royal Family of the same league in the quarterfinals.
At that time, edg also lost the first two games, and then under the strong leadership of the factory director, they won two games in a row and tied the score to 2-2.
At the end of the fourth game, after edg tied the score, they even beat uzi so hard that he sat on the stage for a long time and refused to leave the stage and go backstage.
It's a pity that edg failed to make a strong effort in the fifth game and continued the state of the first two games, still losing to the Royal Family 2-3.
For some reason, the factory director remembered that game inexplicably. He told himself in his heart that the game was not over yet, it was just a temporary 0-2 deficit. There is no game in the world that cannot be overturned.
Their opponent today, OMG, didn't happen to have accomplished the feat of letting two chase three in the spring game a few months ago!
After carefully thinking about the process of OMG letting two people chase three IMs, the factory director seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.
That bo5 game can be seen from icon's Weibo post "Justice will win". Omg had a strong unwillingness to lose that bo5 game.
After the rematch, even though they were 0-2 behind IM, the entire omg team was still determined to win against IM.
Yes, angry!
The key to the matter is the mood!
If your anger is still there, you will have a chance to make a comeback. If your anger is gone, what else can you use to fight?
The factory director turned back and glanced at several teammates. After coming off the stage, their expressions gradually calmed down.
Only...mouse still looked lost.
It was obvious that after the first two rounds, Mouse's morale was completely defeated by Lu Chen.
The factory director shook his head and thought: "Mouse really can't play anymore. He has to be replaced in the third round!"
...
On the big screen at the scene, the settlement interface for the second game was shown.
Ma Ge's Xia has the highest damage in the game, followed by Lu Chen's Qinggang Shadow, which is a little lower, and then icon's Clockwork.
Then we started to play back some fighting clips from the second game, and the highlights were basically on omg’s side.
After all, the second game was basically a crushing game for omg, and edg’s performance in the second game was really lackluster.
"In the second game, I don't think there's much to say. OMG had the advantage from the beginning, and they didn't give edg any chance in the second game. They took away the game in 23 minutes."
"Who do you think will be the mvp in this round?" Su Xiaoyan asked.
Guan Zeyuan continued: "The performance of the five OMG players in this game was actually quite good. Everyone played well. I think the MVP can be given to anyone."
"If I had to choose, I would still give the top laner Qinggang Ying. That wave of first-level single kills was really exaggerated. In less than two minutes, it opened up the situation."
Immediately, Lu Chen's image popped up on the big screen at the scene.
Sure enough, the MVP of the second game of this bo5 went to Lu Chen's Qinggang Shadow, with a record of 5-0-2, just like the first game, without a single death.
Of course, in the entire second game, only Ma Ge's Xia died once for the OMG team, which also allowed EDG to avoid the embarrassment of being zero-blocked.
It's just that a clean sheet can be avoided, but I don't know if a big score and a clean sheet will happen!
"Dear viewers, take a short break and I will bring you today's first semi-final, the third game of bo5 between edg and omg." Guan Zeyuan said.
Some people in the audience also got up one after another to go to the toilet and so on.
...
Backstage omg lounge.
It was not as full of laughter and laughter as I imagined. The expressions on everyone's faces were very relaxed, but there was no atmosphere of excitement as they were about to enter the finals.
It's very simple, omg is only temporarily leading 2-0, and has not really won this bo5.
Head coach Mingzhe knows very well the principle that a person who travels a hundred miles can only reach 90 goals, not to mention that they themselves had the experience of letting two people chase three a few months ago. If the game has not been won, it cannot be said to be safe.
The coach and the players were still seriously discussing the tactics and BP in the third game.
"In the third game, I think we need to change our thinking." Mingzhe looked at Lu Shen and said.
Lu Chen naturally understood what the coach wanted to express. He nodded and said, "Well, it needs to be changed. Maybe a sudden change will catch EDG off guard!"
After beating Mouse hard in two consecutive games and winning the game in the lane, Mingzhe felt that even if edg was slow to react, it was time to target Lu Chen.
Targeting Lu Chen on BP is obviously not feasible.
Many past games have shown that Lu Chen can carry the game by relying on hard power, rather than simply reaping the benefits of strong versions of certain heroes.
Then this kind of targeting can only be targeted in the game.
In the game, when it comes to online players, the first executor will undoubtedly be the jungler.
The factory director may have problems of one kind or another, but he is by no means a person who doesn't know how to adapt. It's just that his various methods of catching LPL bot lane players in the game are too impressive, but this does not mean that he has no methods. Target the opponent's mid laner or top laner.
There are also many ways, this is the experience of veteran junglers.
"In the third game, I want to choose a tank hero for you to resist the pressure. We will focus on the bottom lane in this game," Mingzhe said.
"No problem!" Lu Chen replied.
The other four teammates also nodded.
Before Lu Chen came, OMG was accustomed to playing around the bottom lane, and the gameplay ideas were very proficient, and there would be no discomfort.
In the other half of the edg lounge.
Mouse seemed a little dazed. It had been a while since the second game ended, and he obviously hadn't adjusted his state back yet.
The factory director glanced at mouse, shook his head, and expressed his thoughts to the coach. He felt that mouse was not suitable to play in the remaining games today.
Head coach Nofe nodded, he had the same idea.
Nofe turned to look at mouse. Before he could speak, mouse took the lead and said, "Coach, let Audi play in the next game! I feel my hands are shaking a little. I'm in such a bad state that I won't be able to adjust for a while."
Of course, everyone knows that Mouse is not really in bad shape. The so-called "hands shaking" are just because Lu Chen beat him so hard that his hands shake.
It's just that mouse took the initiative to replace himself. At this time, the semi-finals were still in progress. The coach didn't want to criticize mouse too much. Everyone was willing to give mouse a step down.
The edg head coach nodded, acknowledging mouse's words, and at the same time turned his attention to Audi, who was sitting alone.
Of course Audi understood what the coach meant when he looked at him. He pushed up the glasses on his fat face and nodded.
Faced with a rare opportunity to play in the past two months, on the stage of the semifinals of the LPL playoffs, Audi did not make any guarantees, nor did he boast anything, nor did he even say anything.
Because, he couldn't beat Lu Chen either.
Audi had a certain understanding of his own strength, so he was also a little scared when he was asked to face Lu Chen.
He couldn't even compete with Mouse in the team, let alone Lu Chen who beat Mouse into confusion.
However, he can't compete with Mouse, mainly because the tank hero is not as good as Mouse, and the hero pool is not as deep as Mouse.
But Audi also has his own strengths. Compared with mouse, some of his warrior heroes are better at playing, such as Sword Princess Qinggang Shadow, but if he can play these heroes, he has little use in edg.
The only annoying thing is that the warrior heroes he is good at and the opponent he is about to face, Lu Chen, can also play them, and they can only play them better than him.
Some thoughts quickly ran through his mind, and Audi always felt that if he was replaced in the third game, he would take the blame.
It’s just a rare opportunity to play, so just take the blame!
Seeing Audi's uncertain expression, the factory director could probably understand what he was worried about, and said: "Just use the hero you are good at to kill him, and I will help you catch him later. Once the warrior hero opens his equipment, he will land
There is also no way to turn around."
This is quite the truth. Although there is a gap in strength between players, everyone is a professional player. If you play a DPS hero, you will basically not be manipulated because of your equipment advantage.
Unlike some pure tank heroes, who may have multiple pieces of equipment and have to be chased and beaten by warrior heroes.
After hearing what the factory director said, Audi nodded twice. It was unclear whether he really believed it or not.
The intermission time was almost over, and head coach Nofe led five players out of the lounge and walked to the main stage. Mouse stayed in the lounge, and Audi took his place in the top lane in the upcoming third game.
...
The players are sitting in their respective positions, the referee is doing some final work, and the BP has not started yet.
Mingzhe stretched his neck and glanced towards EDG, a smile appeared on his face.
Walking behind Lu Chen, Mingzhe said: "You're really right, EDG has indeed changed to the singles."
Hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled and said, "I can't do it without a substitution. If I perform as well as Mouse did in the first two games, I won't even need the coach to tell me. I'll take the initiative to apply for a substitution myself."
However, Lu Chen did not expect that mouse actually offered to replace him.
The team members had all put their headsets on their heads. They all heard Lu Chen's words and laughed.
Mingzhe did not laugh, but said seriously: "I believe you will never perform like that!"
In the commentary box.
"Okay, everyone, welcome back. We are about to bring you the semi-final bo5 contest between edg and omg. Currently, omg is temporarily leading edg 2-0. With three match points in hand, edg has already come to the end.
On the edge of the cliff.”
Guan Zeyuan continued: "The news I just received is that EDG has made personnel adjustments. In the third game, an Audi player was replaced in the top lane position, replacing the mouse player."
"I just don't know if Edg can win back a victory in the third game after switching to Audi?"
"Xiaoyan, why don't we make a prediction? Do you think edg can finish the match between two and three today?"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoyan laughed: "This... I think the possibility is very small."
Guan Zeyuan also realized that he had asked an outrageous question, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Yes, although OMG, which was leading 2-0 on the court at this time, had once let two chase three in the spring game, but let two chase three
The probability of this happening is still too low.”
"Let's put it this way, what do you think the final score of today's bo5 will be?"
Su Xiaoyan replied: "Looking at the performance of the two teams in the first two games, I think OMG is undoubtedly the team that performed better today. Combined with the current big score of OMG leading 2-0, OMG also occupied the psychological level.
advantage, so I think omg will take away this semi-final 3-0."
Guan Zeyuan has a different view.
"I think edg took the initiative to switch to Audi, maybe to target Lu Shen. Omg's current game still relies heavily on Lu Shen's performance. I think edg can at least win the third game. In the end, it will be a big win."
I guess the score is three to one."
"Okay, without further ado, the players on both sides are ready, let's come to the BP session of the third game of this bo5 game."
"In the third round, omg had priority to choose sides. They took the initiative to choose the blue side, while edg was on the red side."
On the big screen at the scene, the bp interface popped up.
First round bp.
omg got rid of Rambo, Prince, and Lucian.
Edg took down the rock bird, skateboard shoes, and Thresh.
Then omg grabbed the Tauren Chief on the first floor.
"Want to grab the bull's head? There is really no problem in choosing the bull's head, but I saw that omg got rid of Lucian. I originally thought they might steal the plane." Su Xiaoyan said.
Guan Zeyuan continued: "I think edg must have thought about the possibility of omg grabbing the bull's head in the blue square. The question now is, during the short break just now, did edg think about how to counterattack?
Make this bull-headed chief!"
"Since ancient times, there seems to be no particularly good and perfect counter method when facing the hero Tauren Chief..."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoyan suddenly interrupted: "Morgana!"
"Um...Morgana is a solution, but Morgana's solution is too simple! Moreover, Niutou Qiang is not strong in lane, and his team fighting ability is too strong." Guan Zeyuan said.
"Edg, get the wine barrel here first, and then... the snake girl!"
"OMG banned Lucian before. It was obvious that he deliberately released the plane for Edg. Maybe there is some secret weapon that can be used to masturbate, or maybe there is no secret weapon at all, and he just doesn't want to let Lucian go to you."
"But edg is currently 0-2 behind. They probably don't want to take this risk. Scout directly chose the mid laner Snake. It's like staying the same to cope with all changes. I will choose Snake. No matter what you choose in the middle, I will line up.
Not afraid at all."
edg took down the wine barrel on the first and second floors, Snake.
Then it’s the blue omg’s turn to select people for the second and third floors.
"Big tree or big insect?" Mingzhe asked.
"Dashu, this hero is easier to use in team battles. I don't have any pressure against Audi." Lu Chen said.
After hearing what Lu Chen said, World6 directly locked the Twisted Dryad on the second floor.
As soon as this hero was selected, there were bursts of exclamations from the scene, both from omg fans and edg fans.
Because this hero is very different from the top lane image that Lu Chen showed in these two rounds of playoffs.
"Big tree? When I saw this hero, I took a closer look at the team logo in the upper left corner. It is indeed omg, not edg."
Guan Zeyuan said with a smile: "What is this called? Is this just taking other people's path and leaving others with no way to go!"
If Lu Chen could hear Guan Zeyuan's explanation at this time, he would definitely add:
This is called taking the path of edg, leaving edg desperate!
