"Brother Luo, you are too ungrateful. I haven't even started performing this yet."
After stepping down, Prince Ning looked resentful.
He just took a look at the output panel in the background and saw 6093 points output.
This was indeed a bit low for Kaiyin who had played for thirty minutes, at least far from what King Ning expected.
Li Luo was speechless. When Prince Ning showed such an expression, he really couldn't get used to it. He could only pat the latter's shoulder and said sincerely: "Next time, next time, I approve of you."
Kayn, okay? We can play again next time."
"It's done."
Prince Ning immediately restrained himself and made an OK gesture.
At this time, the corner of Li Luo's eye had already fallen on the staff member who was walking not far away. He thought for a while and then put his arm around Rookie's shoulders: "Old Song, I'm telling you... just wait a moment...
First like this, and then...well, do you understand?"
After Rookie heard what Li Luo said, a smile appeared on his face: "No problem."
After a while.
In the interview room, Rookie's figure appeared.
The organizers also know that they cannot always catch a sheep. Even a world-renowned star player like Faker cannot be interviewed every time. Therefore, they originally planned to invite others besides Li Luo this time.
Since Rookie volunteered, they naturally invited Rookie.
Host Ren Dong first gave Rookie an immortal grip, and then the interview began.
"In this game, IG chose a novel tactic. We all know that Ezreal is not a hero suitable for the current mainstream version, but IG still selected it and used this hero to achieve good results... Rookie felt that EZ
How about this hero?"
Ren Dong was actually a little hesitant when he asked this question.
He was worried that the honest Rookie might accidentally reveal his tactics when answering.
But Rookie didn't seem to care about this. He smiled and said: "I think EZ is still very strong. It is very flexible in the mid-term. The damage of the three-piece set is also much higher than the regular equipment. It is... very powerful."
Backstage lounge.
Mingkai was stunned after hearing Rookie's interview.
He turned his head and looked at Abu.
Abu was also looking at him.
"This...when did honest Rookie learn to lie?"
Meiko said hesitantly: "I almost believed him."
"Even you were almost deceived, so you can imagine..."
Mingkai was a little helpless: "The hero EZ is a special existence for most teams. This hero is inherently versatile, and there is no need to practice for a period of time. As long as the version matches and AD wants to play, then
He can be used with any system."
"yes."
Abu also expressed some emotion: "If any team uses it directly, it means that they have fallen into the version trap set by IG, but... IG who created this system will not be afraid of this system.
If someone takes this thing out and uses it in front of IG, not only will they not be afraid, but they will even want to laugh."
"If we can see it, others should be able to see it too, right?"
Mou Se said hesitantly.
There are no underdogs in the World Championship.
This sentence is not just talk.
In history, I don’t know how many strong teams overturned due to carelessness when they encountered what others saw as “underdogs”.
Coaches are not just for free. When a hero comes on stage, his advantages and disadvantages are clearly laid out. If you can clearly see the advantages, you will also be able to find the disadvantages if you study carefully.
"Not every team likes the Censer Monster."
Mingkai's words made Mou Zi momentarily stunned and then fell into deep thought.
He got it.
The emergence of the Incense Burner version means that all teams' ADs, no matter how strong or weak they are, and whether they were the core of the team in the past, must assume the responsibility of core output.
This has resulted in many teams being unable to adapt well to the current version.
They wanted to find a way out of this deformed version created by the designer, but it was too difficult.
But now IG has provided them with a way.
A path that is useless against IG, but maybe... useful against other teams.
"As expected, the teams in the group stage will be in chaos."
Mingkai didn't know who was responsible for formulating this tactic.
But Li Luo, who could invent this kind of outfit and play... made Ming Kai feel horrified.
You must know that in the entire World Championship, only the LPL region pays more attention to the early rhythm.
EDG's main focus this year is the early and mid-game rhythm.
RNG has the incense pot, and its early rhythm ability is also very strong.
This can be seen from the outfit ideas of junglers around the world.
In this version where the vast majority of junglers will choose the green jungle knife to lay out early defensive vision and then slowly develop it, only the LPL junglers in the world will choose red punishment when they get specific heroes.
The three LPL teams all play an early game, and all three teams have strong bot lane laning abilities, so... the three LPL teams are not afraid of Ezreal with this mindset.
The path taken by IG will not only benefit them.
Most likely also covering them and RNG.
…
After the game between IG and the TSM team, there was a showdown between AHQ, who was also in Group A, and FNC, who was defeated by IG yesterday.
In full view of everyone, AHQ's AD Xiao An took out Ezreal.
In the IG lounge.
Li Luo held a small notebook in his hand.
The small notebook records the career usage of Ezreal for every AD player who participated in the World Championship.
"Xiao An, Ezreal's career winning rate is 71.4."
Jakeylove came up and took a look, and said with some surprise: "This guy's winning rate is a bit high."
"Well, the provincial team's AD is not bad at playing Ezreal, it's an old tradition."
Li Luo said: "Team AHQ is the team we will face next. They like to play a sharp knife system in the LMS Summer Split, but in this system the only sharp knife is Ximen Ye said Xiaoyuren."
"If you add Ezreal, there will be two..."
Jakeylove understood instantly.
The personnel configuration of each team will determine the tactical direction.
AHQ's staffing is there. Their top laner Ziv is not stable enough when playing operational heroes. In order to maintain stability, he can only play meat.
Although jungler Dashan will choose output-type heroes to lead the rhythm, the rhythm heroes he knows include an excavator and a spider queen, which will be very useless in team battles. Therefore, he is forced to take on the task of starting a team.
Choose a hero like Wine Barrel or Pig Girl.
Therefore, AHQ's overall play style seems a bit weird. They want to be more aggressive in the early and mid-term, but the bottom lane needs development, so Ximen Ye can only lead it by himself.
Now with Ezreal, AHQ's tactical thinking becomes clear instantly.
This thing is not weak in the mid-term, and the production ideas of using this set in the later stage are also very strong.
He is simply the hero they dream of.
"If they use this tactic to attack us..."
Prince Ning laughed beside him.
The smile is sinister and the smile is mean.
The facts are moving forward in the direction IG expected.
In the early stages of this game, AHQ took advantage of Ximen Yeshuo's personal ability to gain a certain matchup advantage.
Then Ximen Ye said that he used his little murloc's roaming ability to help Ezreal in the bottom lane open up the situation.
AHQ gained momentum instantly.
FNC's response was clever. In this game, Rekkles got Xayah as he wished.
Relying on Xayah's life-saving ability in the mid-term, FNC is dragging the situation back bit by bit.
The situation was frozen for a while, and the deadlock was not broken until 29 minutes.
AHQ's AD Xiao An's Ezreal three-piece set has been completed.
The battle situation instantly changed for FNC.
Especially when Ximen Ye said that the ultimate move of the fishman should be used as a poke skill, everyone in FNC was miserable.
The little fish man swung his ultimate move, and as long as he bit the target, Xiao An would immediately follow up with a set of explosive output.
Even the front-line heroes are a little overwhelmed after enduring this entire set of output.
Unfortunately, when the Murloc gets enough CD reduction, the cooldown time of his ultimate move is relatively short.
With this simple and crude operation, AHQ dragged the FNC team to death.
Li Luo smiled as he looked at the people at AHQ who were high-fiving excitedly after the game.
The first "support" in the IG layout appears.
With the first, there will be a second.
Ezreal appeared in three of the remaining four games that day.
But they are not as lucky as AHQ, who can perfectly integrate EZ into the team.
In these three games, Ezreal failed because of his unskilled tactics or failure to handle the early game well.
The worst one didn't start stacking his second Tears of the Goddess until the game time reached 24 minutes.
He can fold it for a lifetime.
But for LPL viewers, today is an imperfect day.
Because in EDG's first matchup of the World Championship, they failed to win against C9.
The first and middle stages were fine.
C9's resilience in the later stage allowed them to turn the situation back bit by bit.
Many spectators who watched this game had their blood pressure rise. Some spectators even held the scratching posts used by their cats in their arms and scratched them themselves.
"EDG is hitting a hammer? Why does it feel weird?"
"You are not alone in feeling strange about them. To be honest, I think they are quite strong. They don't have any disadvantages in the early stage. How come they lose every time they fight..."
"There are still not enough points to start a group. I feel like a fool if I can't get Luo EDG. I just rely on the factory director to start it alone? Why can't you get a hero who can start a group first? I can't even use C with my life.
move!"
"IG just finished the demo. Wouldn't it be better for you to choose Ezreal and pair it with a hard support? It must be full of strange smells!"
"To be honest, I suddenly had the illusion that EDG would not make it out of the group."
Li Luo didn't know what was being discussed in the forum.
At this time, Li Luo was frowning, watching the review of the game between EDG and C9.
EDG did not follow the Lucian script that was used before Li Luo was reborn.
And overall I didn't make too many mistakes.
The reason why they lost this game was purely because they were set up on the BP side.
EDG, who was on the blue side, first selected Ming Kai as the team-starting hero Prince on the first floor, but was deceived by C9's EZ and Titan.
So EDG decisively decided on the duo in the bottom lane, the combination of Mouse and Lulu.
But what they never expected was that C9's Ezreal was the jungler.
And their top laner impat... SKT's top laner directly brought Titan to the top lane, and then C9 locked up Xayah and paired with Feng Nu.
Kasumi...is not afraid of mice.
Just from the performance of this game, Li Luo was impressed by C9, who is known as the "No. 1 Water Ghost in the S Game".
They did not rigidly use the Ezreal that IG unveiled to play the bottom lane, but used it to swing.
This pioneering thinking alone has led a large number of teams.
EDG was really disgraced in the first game.
Li Luo had nothing to do about this. He could only hope that EDG could perform better when they play SKT tomorrow.
The group they are in is indeed a bit embarrassing. EDG's three opponents are a nerve knife, a big devil, and a water ghost.
None of them are easy to deal with.
Li Luo also knew that it was useless to worry about it. Instead of worrying about EDG, he should study how to trick...well...how to beat AHQ tomorrow.
…
That night.
Inside the AHQ team's base.
Everyone in AHQ, who had already won two victories, gathered together.
With these two victories, the mentality of everyone in AHQ is still very stable at this time.
"Let me tell you, the fortune teller in Edici is still going to be banned. He does this very cool thing."
"Jiang Zi, I'll ban you then. Is it okay to hit others?"
The coach of AHQ patted Xiao An on the shoulder: "You have to be confident. Think about it, defeating them with their tactics would be awesome."
"Don't worry, I'm very brave."
Xiao An is quite confident.
They and IG are both 2/0, so there is no difference in terms of record!
Everyone at AHQ is very confident.
…
The third day of the group stage.
Today's Jiangcheng is cloudy.
After two consecutive days of sweltering heat, the city is in desperate need of a baptism of rain.
Countless spectators had already brought umbrellas and lined up at the entrance of the venue in advance.
"It's really frustrating. It's obviously the last fight, but it has to come so early."
Prince Ning stretched himself: "Wouldn't it be better for me to let you sleep a little longer? The gaming chair almost broke my waist."
Li Luo raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
It was obviously cloudy and windy, but he didn't feel cool at all.
"Go in first, the protagonists today are not us."
Li Luo said.
All three LPL teams have games today.
And in addition to the IG team, the other two teams are full of highlights.
EDG vs SKT.
RNG faced off against SSG.
In fact, Li Luo was also a little confused as to why the competition organizing committee arranged this.
Wouldn't it be nice to put either of these two games in the finale?
He actually ended their game against AHQ.
"I hope they can all win. I don't know when we will see the three LPL teams in the top four. I hope I can see it in my lifetime."
Jakeylove said from the side.
"It really takes a lifetime. It's too difficult."
Prince Ning shook his head.
In the previous two days of games, the LCK teams maintained a complete victory.
Today...it's hard to say.
But judging from the performance of the LCK, both EDG and RNG may be in a tough battle today.
The IG crowd gathered around the big screen in the backstage lounge.
The match between EDG and SKT has begun.
But what Li Luo never expected was that EDG today... seemed a little anxious.
They selected a lineup that Li Luo was extremely familiar with.
So much so that when the BP was finalized, Li Luo didn't want to see it anymore.
"Do you want to use this version of Lucian as well?"
Rookie frowned and said.
He also likes the hero Lucian very much.
However, the CD of the E skill was cut for a full 4 seconds in the early stage, which was unacceptable to Rookie.
At least in this year's World Championship version, Rookie doesn't want to use this hero anymore.
Soon the lineups of both sides appeared in front of Li Luo.
EDG: Rambo, Excavator, Lucian, Xia, Feng Nu. KT: Big Bug, Prince, Clockwork, Mouse, Luo.
After Li Luo finished reading the bp, he stood up and walked to the window, staring at the heavy rain that had started to fall outside the window, in a daze.
In the early days, IG’s training room was full of joy.
"Damn it, EDG is really good at this wave!"
"It's awesome, it's awesome, we have the initiative. SKT's lineup is a bit weak before it develops. Just grasp it, grasp it and you'll have it!"
"The economy is already 10,000 yuan! Is this unstable?"
…
"SKT's wave..."
"Fuck!"
Li Luo let out a long sigh amid the shocked screams.
Sure enough, what is supposed to come will always come.
Even if they had hinted at EDG before in the game, it would not help.
After the defeat in the first game, EDG obviously wanted to use alternative tactics to collide with SKT, which was biased towards the late stage.
The idea is correct, but the result...
I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth grade.
