Chapter 198 Which of these two heroes restrains the other?
On the bus back to the base, Lu Chen sat in the last row alone as usual.
Except for Ma Ge who was busy listening to the song, several other teammates were sitting together chatting with great interest. After all, they had just won the semi-finals and entered the finals. None of them had ever played in the LPL finals.
As we chatted, it was inevitable that the topic of the S-match would come up.
The s tournament is the ultimate dream of all League of Legends summoners.
For the lpl division, this year's s7 global finals is held locally, which has a special meaning.
In the S7 Global Finals, the LPL division has three quotas. The winner of the summer competition is directly promoted to the No. 1 seed and obtains a quota for the S competition.
Except for the summer championship team, among the remaining teams, the team with the first total points in this year's spring and summer games will be the second seed and receive a quota for the S competition.
For the remaining third seeds, the top three teams with the highest total points in this year's Spring Split and Summer Split will participate in the bubble tournament to determine the final quota.
omg is ranked fourth in the Spring Split, and has entered the finals in the Summer Split. It is guaranteed to be the runner-up, and you can completely imagine whether you can participate in the S Split.
As for the way to get a place in the competition, being able to advance directly is naturally far better than the bubbling competition.
There are too many variables in participating in the bubbling competition.
It goes without saying that if they can win the spring championship, several of Lu Chen's teammates are now calculating whether they will have a chance to become the second seed that can directly advance to the S championship by relying on points if they lose in the finals and are only runner-up in the summer championship.
Several people talked to each other for a while and came to a somewhat painful conclusion.
That means omg has a very small chance of becoming the second seed.
The main reason is that their ranking in the spring split was the lowest among several competitors, only fourth place, and they scored too few points in the spring split.
Although the points earned by any ranking in the Summer Split are much higher than those in the Spring Split, apart from the ridiculously high points awarded to the Summer Split champion, the second, third, fourth and fifth place players behind do not have particularly many points.
The two teams in the other semi-finals today, we and rng, are the spring champion and runner-up respectively, and they are already guaranteed to be in the top four in the summer split, so their points value will not be much worse.
After some calculations, I found that if omg cannot win the summer championship, there is only one situation where they can become the second seed.
That is, rng will lose the semi-final against WE for a while, and then lose the third place match against edg tomorrow, and get fourth place in the summer split. In that way, even if omg does not win the summer split championship, it will become the summer split champion. Besides, the team with the highest points.
However, this seems unlikely.
As the number one regular season player in the summer season, rng has been on a winning streak recently. If there were no surprises, how could it be possible that they would lose two BO5 games today and tomorrow!
Then there was a long sigh in the bus. It is always normal for young people to worry about gains and losses.
Lu Chen, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Why are you thinking about all this? Wouldn't it be nice to win the summer championship and become the number one seed? Do you need to consider other things?"
...
Back at the base, Mingzhe let the team members freely arrange the rest of the day, and hurriedly went to watch the semi-finals between rng and we.
Lu Chen and the others had just finished the semi-finals and had no intention of playing ranked games, so they all watched the semi-finals.
The showdown between rng and we is definitely the pinnacle battle of lpl this year, and it still has great viewing value.
The OMG players naturally support WE to win.
In addition to the frequent exchanges and good relationship between the two teams, there is also what was said on the bus before.
As long as rng loses two BO5 games today and tomorrow and ends up fourth in the summer split, then omg will already be in the s7 global finals.
Although it is unlikely, what if it happens?
Because omg quickly defeated edg 3-0, everyone returned to the base at this time, and the game between rng and we began.
Lu Chen clicked on the official event live broadcast room and planned to watch the semi-final between rng and we.
Unexpectedly, this time I saw a classic bo5.
...
Zhengda Plaza, LPL game scene.
"Okay, everyone, welcome back. What we are about to bring to you is today's second semi-final. The two teams are rng, who is first in Group B of the summer regular season, and we, who is second in Group A of the regular season."
"This game will still be narrated by me, Guan Zeyuan, along with Teacher Miller!" Guan Zeyuan said.
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller." Miller next to Guan Zeyuan nodded.
This semi-final was originally scheduled to be narrated by the old partner of Wawa and Miller, but Wawa encountered an unexpected situation and could not come, so Su Xiaoyan was replaced by Miller, and his partner Guan Zeyuan came to commentate today's first game.
Two semi-finals.
It is equivalent to saying that Guan Zeyuan will explain two consecutive bo5 games.
But this is nothing to Guan Zeyuan. In the well-known "Justice Must Win" bo5 match between OMG and IM in the Spring Split, Guan Zeyuan was the commentator at the time.
At that time, the game was suspended for several hours due to mouse problems and replay issues.
In order not to be silent, Guan Zeyuan chatted in the commentary box for several hours without stopping.
Of course, in addition to being good at talking, Guan Zeyuan is also famous in the commentator circle for being a good guy.
"Thank you Zeyuan for your hard work today, explaining two Bo5 games in a row." Miller said with a smile in the commentary box.
"No, no, I feel very honored to be able to commentate on two LPL semi-finals in a row."
Miller added: "In the previous semi-final, omg defeated edg 3-0 neatly and entered the final first. So with the current situation..."
"In the semi-finals between rng and we, no matter who wins, the winning team will have already locked a place in S7."
"Yes." Guan Zeyuan nodded repeatedly.
Miller counts points as soon as he comes up, which makes him feel like he has met a confidant.
"Okay, both players are ready and the game is about to begin."
"rng's performance in the regular season is better than that of we, so rng has priority in selecting sides in the first, third, and fifth games, while we have the right to choose sides in the second and fourth games."
"Okay, the first game is about to start. RNG took the initiative to choose the red side. This is a bit unexpected!"
Lu Chen, who was watching the game in front of the computer screen, was a little surprised when he saw that rng took the initiative to choose the red side in the first game.
Generally speaking, in most cases in this version, the team with priority to choose the side will choose the blue side.
Choose the red side unless you have some secret weapon and don't want to expose it in advance.
Either the team has a plan to focus on the top lane and wants to give top laner Kang the special position.
Among all the positions in League of Legends, the top laner is the one most afraid of Counter. However, in recent versions, only a few tank heroes are used more in the top lane. Counter's purpose is often to line up, and in this kind of situation
Under the general environment, in many cases, whether or not Counter is on the road doesn't mean that much, so the few teams that would take the initiative to choose the red side no longer choose the red side.
It can be said that now only omg is left in lpl and will actively choose the red side from time to time.
Today, when I saw rng coming up, I took the initiative to choose the red side, which was indeed beyond Lu Chen's expectations.
Xiao Wu, who was also watching the game next to Lu Chen, came over and said, "rng choose the red side? Are you going to give the emperor a hard blow?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Even if letme wants to challenge 957, the coach and teammates won't agree! There should be some secret weapon that he doesn't want to expose if he chooses the red side."
"You pull out your secret weapon in the first game?"
"What's the point of this? It's to get the head start!"
Then the rng on the red side, in the first round of BP, banned three adcs, Big Mouth, Skateboard Shoes, and Xayah.
"What do you mean, skateboard shoes and Xia are banned together?" Xiao Wu said that he didn't understand it again.
Xiao Wu then said: "Either one person gets one, or you ban one and I ban the other. This would be too much of a disadvantage!"
Lu Chen shrugged and said with a smile: "Maybe Uzi doesn't dare to take Xia, who can say for sure!"
In another room in the base, Mingzhe and other members of the coaching staff were also watching the game.
Seeing rng ban three adcs in one breath, Mingzhe made the same guess as Lu Chen.
Does uzi not dare to take Xia?
As for skateboard shoes, of course there is no doubt that no team dares to give Uzi skateboard shoes these days.
As a potential opponent in the OMG finals, Mingzhe certainly cannot let go of any opportunity to study his opponent.
rngWhat kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? You will know after reading it.
We grabbed the Bull Head on the first floor of the blue square, which is currently the most balanced support.
Then rng selected the prince and pig girl on the first and second floors, which directly broke Xiao Wu's conjecture.
rng was on the red side, but the top lane hero came out first.
As expected, the counter position on the fifth floor will not be reserved for letme. Letme is in rng, so he really has no strategic position!
So Xiaowu guessed whether Xiaohu had any secret weapon to use against Xiye, rng the Kang special position on the fifth floor must have been reserved for Xiaohu.
As a result, Xiao Wu was slapped in the face again, and rng appeared on the fourth floor.
We were also unceremonious and picked Crocodile and Kassadin on the fourth and fifth floors.
So the top two lanes of rng were all defeated by Counter.
"Conte's position is given to support? Is this the BP of the wind? It's too hip!" Lu Chen said.
Xiaowu obviously agreed with Lu Chen's evaluation of rng's BP in this game and nodded repeatedly.
Even if rng still has one assistant left to choose from, there is no need to look further.
Because our assistant is the Tauren Chieftain.
As a professional support person, Xiao Wu knows very well that in the current version, the hero Niutou has no natural enemies in the support position.
Facing Niutou, with your choice of supporting position, Xiao Ming, can you still choose Hua?
Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time and the countdown to selection was about to end, rng chose Luo on the fifth floor.
A decent choice!
Looking at the BP of the entire first game, rng took the initiative to choose the red side, but did not match the corresponding play style at all, or it could be said that it pulled out some secret weapon.
Lu Chen stood up from his seat and said: "No need to watch, the first round of rng is gone."
He was a little hungry and planned to go back to the room to get some snacks to eat while watching the game.
...
Not only Lu Chen, many people also felt that rng was difficult to win this game after watching the BP of the first game.
Facing a strong team like WE, which has a balanced strength in all lanes and a high degree of integration, it will be difficult to win back in the game if it suffers too much in terms of BP.
Sure enough, the game trend in the first game also confirmed Lu Chen's evaluation of "BP pulling the crotch".
rng had no way to restrict Kassadin. Xiye went crazy in this round, and Kassadin's final record was 11-1.
We, who had the advantage throughout the game, flattened rng's base crystal in just 28 minutes.
The recent versions are not very fast-paced, and the game time is less than 30 minutes, which is actually quite short.
Some posts disparaging rng began to appear on major forums.
To be honest, these people were a little too impatient. They only played the first game of bo5, which doesn't explain much.
Although RNG felt a bit beaten in the first game, this was more due to BP, not the gap in strength.
Anyway, Lu Chen felt that the strength of these two teams was really on par.
He felt that there was still time to play in the game today, so he simply brought a bunch of snacks over.
Sure enough, in the second game, the situation was reversed.
In the second game, we had the priority to choose the side. They did not make any tricks and actively chose the blue side.
Both sides banned a total of six adcs during the bp stage, three on each side. Basically all the mainstream adcs in the current version have been banned.
In the end, after Mystic chose the policewoman, Uzi chose Lucian.
Lucian's choice undoubtedly surprised everyone. After being weakened in all directions, this hero has basically withdrawn from the bottom lane stage and moved to the middle lane to bully squishy mages, or to the top lane to bully short-handed warriors.
.
This also leads to the ultimate discussion, Lucian or the policewoman, who is countering who?
In the commentary box, Guan Zeyuan brought up this topic, while Miller directly teased his old partner Wawa who was absent from the commentary today.
After all, Wawa once said that the policewoman's hands were much longer than Lucian's, so the policewoman restrained Lucian.
But the same baby also once said that Lucian was explosive, so Lucian restrained the policewoman.
The two completely opposite sentences were indeed said by Wawa when commentating on the game.
Seeing Lucian and the policewoman on the bottom lane, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He remembered the solo scene between Lucian and Li Mingxuan's policewoman that he had done a few months ago when he was still in school.
Although in that solo, his Lucian easily killed the policewoman alone.
However, Lu Chen feels that there is really no absolute restraint between these two heroes. Who loses and wins depends on the ID.
Everyone knows that Vayne is Uzi's signature hero, but to be honest, when it comes to Vaien alone, many professional players are no worse than Uzi. However, Vaien is a hero that is not suitable for the stage most of the time. Many players do not have Uzi.
Due to the tactical position, there is naturally no chance of choosing vn.
As for the hero Lucian, in Lu Chen's opinion, there is basically no one in LPL who can be on the same level as Uzi.
The former Nami can be counted as one, but after Beef Noodles, Nami has already faded out of the professional stage.
Lucian is also not suitable for playing the bottom lane. He has not appeared in the game for a long time, but this does not mean that Uzi is useless.
In the end, in the second game, Uzi Lucian's performance completely defeated his brother-in-law's policewoman.
With a head ratio of 12-2, rng easily defeated we and regained the victory.
Then we won the third game and rng won the fourth game.
Both games were slugging games, and neither lasted more than 25 minutes.
The score between the two sides came to 2-2, and the game came to the deciding game.
