Chapter 304 No upset, RNG meets the bitter master again
In fact, I looked at it all the way from the group stage, including the information revealed by some teams that played training matches with SKT.
bang's state is far worse than the winning seasons of the previous two years.
Even if it is compared to when I won the MSI championship in the first half of this year, it is still much worse.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as a cliff-like decline.
Let’s just talk about the two games between OMG and SKT in the group. Whether it was Lu Chen and Xiao Wu taking the bottom lane, or Ma Ge and Xiao Wu taking the bottom lane, SKT’s bottom lane was so suppressed that they could only wait for other lanes.
In this year's global finals, skt's bottom lane has suffered a serious decline, and the top laner Huni is a genius.
The jungle peanut doesn't fit well with SKT's playstyle, and is always a bit out of place.
As for the other rotating jungler, Xiao Hei, he is completely taking advantage of the mid laner's situation. He can be strong in the mid lane in this game, but the mid laner is restricted and has no voice in this game, and he can't stand up at all.
It can be said that the current SKT seems to be dragged along by Faker alone.
Although it is still powerful and has a high ceiling, it is no longer as invincible as it was two years ago.
The Rabbit Team also figured this out. After suffering a loss from Galio in the first game, they banned Galio in each of the next two and three games.
Without Galio, faker won't be able to help his teammates so much.
How can one person fight five people if his teammates can't get up?
In the second game, faker chose a plane that was about to grow, and his teammates blasted through it. He could only wait to die, so he was defeated by the Rabbit Team.
Now facing a strong enemy, faker didn't dare to choose a late-stage hero that needed to be developed, and his teammates couldn't stand it. So after Galio was eliminated in this game, faker chose a wandering rock bird.
After the skt bottom lane duo was double-killed by the opponent's bottom lane, skt's bottom lane collapsed.
However, with the support of faker Yanja's wandering around, the collapse of the bottom lane did not quickly spread to other lanes.
It's just the inherent gap in the lineup that makes skt's lineup unable to fight in team battles when the wind is against them.
After struggling for more than 40 minutes, the Rabbit Team broke through three waves.
In this game, Bang is operating a well-supported vn, and the output is actually less than half of the opponent's ad. This is indeed a big problem.
After winning the third game, the Rabbitohs led SKT 2-1 and took the lead in getting the match point for this bo5 knockout round.
This is something that no one could have imagined before the game.
Many LPL fans in the audience also cheered and applauded the Rabbitohs.
It's not because of the LPL audience's innate aversion to the Hanguo team, but the competitive spirit of the Rabbit Team that dares to fight, fight, and operate, which itself deserves everyone's respect.
At this point in the game, many RNG fans are already wondering whether the Rabbitohs can pull off a shocking upset and defeat SKT.
Because rng is in the same half zone as skt, there is no suspense about rng's quarterfinal opponent fng defeating fnc to advance to the semi-finals.
If the Rabbits can really defeat SKT in an upset, then RNG's opponent in the semi-finals will be the Rabbits.
This basically means that rng is sent to the finals.
So after the Rabbitohs led SKT 2-1 and got the match point, how could rng fans not be excited.
But skt is skt after all, so the Triple Crown title is not in vain.
skt's adjustment ability is quite strong, and in the fourth game, it directly grabbed the small cannon ahead of the Rabbits.
SKT has also seen it here. No matter what hard support you choose to attack, the most suitable AD is small artillery.
Xiaopao can be said to be the most offensive adc in the current version.
Since the bang can't withstand the offensive pressure from your bottom lane, then simply take the small cannon first.
At the same time, SKT also gave up the idea of choosing a soft assistant to bring out the incense burner in the bottom lane, and directly took out one hand to assist Braum.
You like to choose hard support, right? Then I will choose hard support too.
Braum is an auxiliary who has a strong backhand ability and can defeat heroes like the female robot tank.
Sure enough, in this game, the Rabbit team's auxiliary Ignar did not dare to use a robot or a female tank, and instead chose a bull head auxiliary. However, the effect of matching with the wheel mother was far less than the previous two games, and it could not put enough pressure on Bang.
After all, in the bot lane, when the support is soft, it will test the AD's performance more, and when the support is hard, it will test the support's performance even more.
Although bang has declined seriously, wolf's level is still online.
The Rabbit Team still banned Galio in this game. In the Rabbit Team's view, Galio, the hero, definitely cannot be given to Faker.
Faker chose Ryze this game, continuing the idea of roaming to help his teammates in the previous game.
As soon as the unique skill Ryze came out, it turned out to be a strong game. With the constant help from the mid laner, the game finally became stronger.
skt regained a victory and the score came to 2-2.
The two sides entered the decisive game.
A game that was thought to be settled in three games before the game actually ended in the fifth game.
But when the fifth inning was reached, even those who had previously supported the Rabbitohs no longer had confidence.
Because bo5 is a place where real strength is fought for.
By the fifth game, the Rabbit Team had come up with all the tricks they should use. SKT had to crack whatever they were supposed to crack, and those that couldn't be cracked were banned.
The current Rabbits team has no special skills available and can only compete with SKT for strength.
In the fifth game, the Rabbitohs still banned Faker's Galio.
Ignar, the auxiliary of the Rabbitohs, is still showing off his vast hero pool and selected his fifth auxiliary hero in this bo5-Thresh.
Ignar is naturally the most eye-catching person in this bo5, but few people noticed that Wolf on the opposite side also took out the fifth auxiliary hero-Tahm in this decisive game.
The two used five different assists in the five games.
The reason why skt's bottom lane was suppressed was because wolf was completely held back by bang.
Of course, Tahm Kench belongs to Counter Thresh. After five games, skt's bottom lane was finally not suppressed in this game.
SKT also relied on its hard power advantage to win the decisive game calmly.
Three to two, skt narrowly defeated the rabbit team msf and was the first to advance to the semi-finals of this global finals.
All the audience applauded the Rabbit Team and paid tribute to the Rabbit Team. They also felt sorry for the Rabbit Team.
After all, they are really only one step away from eliminating Triple Crown champion SKT.
The most regrettable thing among them is naturally rng fans.
With skt advancing to the semi-finals, it also means that if rng advances to the semi-finals, their opponent in the semi-finals will be their long-time enemy skt.
No one said that RNG Fan Loan is the top four, because all LPL viewers feel the same way.
fng poses no threat.
The next day, the quarter-finals between 2 and fnc began.
FNC is not like the Rabbitohs, who can continuously use their ultimate moves. Their tactical reserves were almost exhausted in the group stage.
The two teams just relied on hard power to fight against fng's opponent.
Even in the third game, Mala Xiangguo contributed a classic world championship scene.
The prince reversed eq, interrupting Ou Cheng Xiaopao's w skill.
He is indeed the most daring jungler in the world.
However, rng lost this game, which was basically a waste of money.
It's just a pity that Uzi killed Big Mouth with 19 in this game.
This is also the highest single-game kill in the history of S-tournament.
If you lose this game, just think of it as a favor to LPL's old friend FNC. After all, having your head shaved doesn't look good.
In the end, rng easily defeated fnc three to one and advanced to the semi-finals. Their opponent in the semi-finals will be skt.
The next two days are the weekend, and they are also the two highlights of the quarterfinals of this global finals.
Both bo5 games are a battle between China and South Korea!
