The prelude to the quarterfinals has officially begun.
The air conditioner in the hotel training room was blowing loudly, and everyone at IG was sitting around, eating various ice creams and preparing to watch the game.
"My child, aren't you afraid of a bad stomach? This is your sixth penis, isn't it? I wonder if it's not hot in this room either?"
Prince Ning looked at the child wandering around and said in surprise.
"What do you know? I'm just saving some cold air for going out tomorrow."
The child You Shen licked the ice cream stick, burped, and then said with emotion: "I thought the Magic City was hot enough before, but after I went to Jiangcheng, I found... I was too young, and then I thought Jiangcheng should be
The hottest place, until yesterday when I went out, my slippers almost stuck to the road. Since then, I have understood what it means to be as high as a mountain."
"It still stores cold air, so why are you just cultivating immortality? I don't know if the six ice cream sticks you ate will turn into cold air, but I am sure that you will be at risk of shitting your pants after a few hours. Remember not to
Believe every fart you say, millions of dollars."
Jakeylove said with a smile.
Li Luo, who was sitting next to him, looked at his teammates who were making a fuss, with a smile on his face.
Guangzhou left a very good impression on Li Luo. Li Luo had visited once before his rebirth.
The food is delicious, and some people call him handsome, very handsome.
Thinking in his mind, Li Luo's eyes fell on the big screen.
The first day of the eight-to-four match was LZ facing off against SSG.
Before the game started, the domestic voting on the winning percentage of both sides was probably 9 to 1.
In other words, at least 90% of the audience will think that LZ can easily crush SSG.
After all, the performance of both sides in the group stage was not at the same level. SSG was crushed by RNG in two games, one of which was a clean sheet, while LZ was obviously very dominant in their group.
Moreover, the collision between the two teams in the LCK Summer Split was basically a one-sided crushing and massacre by LZ.
There is some reason why the audience would give such an exaggerated win-loss ratio.
It's just that SSG...is it really as weak as people think?
Seeing the rapid scrolling, and at least more than half of the barrages were badmouthing SSG, Li Luo couldn't help but sigh. It would be better if LZ went smoothly in this game, but as long as the wind went against them, their psychological pressure would be
It reached an extremely terrifying level.
The domestic barrage is like this, let alone South Korea.
At this time, in the eyes of most Korean viewers, it is a matter of course that Longzhu Gaming can win against SSG.
LZ is afraid that if he loses once, he will be sprayed to the sky.
In this atmosphere, the psychological pressure of LZ players will naturally be greater, and they may even easily begin to doubt themselves.
In the words of King Ning, if you don’t have confidence, what profession can you pursue?
So this is a valuable point about Prince Ning in Li Luo's opinion.
He will never show any fear when facing any player.
This at least means that King Ning will not affect his performance due to mental problems.
If he doesn't perform well, he is just a loser.
Unlike many professional players who are affected by their mentality and feel regretful afterward.
There are very few people who can do this.
Li Luo also knew this very well.
Once professional players start to doubt themselves on the field, it means losing most of the game.
The game between LZ and SSG soon kicked off.
What shocked countless viewers was that in the first game, LZ and SSG each came up with a lineup that seemed a bit inconsistent with the current version.
As we all know, most of the top laners in the S7 World Championship will choose to use tanks such as Big Bug, Shen, and Big Tree to assume the front row of the team.
The jungle positions are also filled with pig girls, wine barrels, princes and the like.
Except for a few teams, such as the MSF Rabbit Team in the European Division and the IG team in the LPL Division, 90% of the teams follow this BP idea.
Ueno double front row, mid lane functionality, ad choose the big core C position with incense burner.
However, the first set between LZ and SSG dazzled the audience who were accustomed to watching the current version of the game.
The two sides had a total of 34 kills in the 44 minutes of the game.
With each other banning soft supports Feng Nu and Lulu, LZ's support brought out the offensive hero Thresh.
The most exaggerated thing is the top orders of both sides.
No one played a tank hero, LZ's top laner Khan took out Jax, and SSG's top laner uvee took out Kennen.
Such a fierce duel in the top lane made The shy shout "Nese" from time to time in the training room.
Li Luo could also tell that The shy was quite happy.
His style and style of play are unique in this World Championship.
It wasn't until today's duel between LZ and SSG that there was a second and third top laner who wanted arry.
Under the astonishment of countless spectators, SSG successfully won the first game with Kennen's wave of thunder entering the field.
Although the second match between the two sides slightly returned to the normal version of the route, it was obvious that LZ chose to return.
They were already a little weak after the first loss. They tried to adapt to the version and used a style of play adapted to the version to fight against SSG.
However, what they didn't expect was that SSG actually chose a style of play that adapted to the version, and then...in the second game, it had an almost crushing effect on LZ!
The head-to-head ratio is 5 to 16.
The LZ team fell behind by two points directly 0 to 2.
If the audience in the first game just thought that SSG had better luck and it was a coincidence that they won.
So this second game... was enough to subvert their perceptions.
"Holy shit, is this the SSG that was abused by RNG? So fierce?"
"Is there a possibility... that LZ is too good at it?"
"RNG is greater than SSG and is greater than LZ. This is the charm of my great RNG!"
"Hey, dear, I'm so stupid watching this game. Why can LZ be beaten like this?"
The vast majority of the audience couldn't understand why it was like this.
It's so magical.
The close-up of uvee's wry smile during the lottery has recently been turned into an emoticon in major forums.
Everyone is watching SSG's joke.
As a result, SSG told them with the facts that they were the ones pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
Some viewers still have hopes for LZ, hoping that they just haven't adapted to the rhythm of the game for a while, and they should be able to adjust.
The training room of the IG team.
At first, everyone was in a relatively relaxed mood, as if they were sitting on a mountain watching a tiger fight.
But after the second game ended, the expressions of everyone on IG became serious.
Li Luo's expression was very calm. To him, this was just a reenactment of the scene.
As professional players, everyone at IG can naturally see some clues from these two games.
"SSG's fixed ban will give barrels and Jace."
King Ning said thoughtfully: "Their first lineup is very fierce on the surface, but in fact, to put it bluntly, they use Kennen to replace the top laner and become a troublemaker. Although Kennen is not fleshy enough, he is still in the top lane.
In team battles, the ability to limit the opponent's AD output is much better than that of tanks."
"Well, in the first game they actually played a three-guarantee-one, breast-protecting ler system, but in the second game... they were a little bit murderous."
Jakeylove raised his eyebrows and said: "They actively selected the red side in the first game, and the red side they were passively selected in the second game actually stole the Rock Bird system that LZ likes to play the most."
"LZ didn't expect that SSG would take away this system that they are best at. In this case, it feels like the third LZ will have to assume Kalista's ban position if they continue to be on the blue side."
Li Luo's words shocked everyone on IG.
You must know that Kalista is a fixed ban on the red side in this version.
But Li Luo's words reminded them.
When LZ is two games behind, they will inevitably want to come up with a lineup with the highest winning rate, so as to help them stabilize their mentality and stabilize the situation.
Which lineup has their highest winning rate?
Rock bird system.
If they don't want to give SSG version T0's Feng Nu, they have to ban her in the first three moves.
And as long as they ban Feng Nu, SSG will probably immediately ban other incense burner monsters like Lulu and Gem, which have stronger versions, and release Kalista.
As a result, even if LZ grabs Kalista, they can only match it with some soft assistants with relatively ordinary effects. Correspondingly, they will give the Rock Bird system to SSG again just because they grab Kalista.
Will LZ choose a rock bird system, or a Kalista who can't play her best role?
They should have an answer in mind.
As Li Luo finished speaking, the third set between the two sides began.
The first ban of the blue side LZ was directly given to Kalista.
Everyone at IG, including coach mafa, became thoughtful.
I have to say that the BP battle between LZ and SSG also gave them some inspiration.
Li Luo didn't say anything else, but quietly watched the game.
Although Li Luo has a thorough understanding of the version, he has also deeply analyzed and studied this SSG.
But Li Luo did not drag out all the results of these studies and share them with his teammates.
Some things need to be understood by teammates themselves.
This is like a problem Li Luo saw before he was reborn.
The questioner is a young man who has just entered society.
The young man was a little confused. He didn't know where to go next. He hoped someone could give him some advice.
There are various answers below, but one reply with the most likes says this.
"If you haven't experienced those setbacks personally, no matter what advice we put forward, you will feel that it is wrong."
Li Luo didn't say anything before LZ played SSG.
Because Li Luo discovered that when the final grouping news was finalized, his teammates seemed to be very happy.
Compared to the SKT team, they are obviously more willing to be in the same half zone with LZ and SSG.
Even when they didn't draw SSG, they felt regretful because they missed a chance to beat the Korean team.
This gave Li Luo a sense of crisis.
In the professional arena, you must always remain vigilant and reverent towards every enemy.
Even if Li Luo mentions this kind of thing every day and every time, it will be difficult for his teammates to maintain high-intensity vigilance if they don't really feel that the opponent is strong.
The strength that SSG showed when they faced off against LZ today seems to have made everyone at IG gradually understand that no opponent is worth looking down upon.
Including, they are about to face C9.
The third game between LZ and SSG kicked off.
And this third game once again taught everyone at IG a profound lesson.
When LZ got the Rock Bird system, which had the highest winning rate in the entire summer split, it was easily broken by SSG's mid-range solo player Lissandra and Shen on the top lane.
Lissandra may not have a clear advantage in pushing the line when facing the Rockbird.
But his powerful control ability forced BDD to purify his rock bird.
If you bring purification, you will lose a TP.
This is a fatal flaw for their system. SG relied on this elusive lineup reserve to completely defeat LZ!
LZ was confused when it was defeated.
They used what they were best at and what they were most confident in, but they were abused by SSG.
There was an upset in the first game of the eight-to-four match, and the news spread throughout the entire circle at an extremely terrifying speed.
3 to 0. SG became famous in one battle!
The audience, who were originally extremely optimistic that the IG team could break out of the left half, began to feel a little unsure after seeing this situation.
After three days of separation...this person is no longer Wu Xia Ameng.
In the IG training room.
"Fortunately, we didn't draw SSG first. This team is completely different from the group stage. It's too bad."
Su Xiaoluo murmured to himself.
At this time, Su Xiaoluo was a little scared.
Before the game, public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of LZ and believed that LZ could win.
In other words, if they meet SSG in the quarterfinals, public opinion before the game will be overwhelmingly supportive of IG.
Under this kind of public opinion, as long as they are the first to be cheated by SSG's shady behavior, their mentality will be severely damaged.
And even if they win SSG, in public opinion they should deserve it.
Li Luo glanced at Su Xiaoluo.
For Li Luo, there is no difference between encountering SSG early and encountering SSG later. Sooner or later, he will have to face it. Even if he loses at the beginning, his presence will allow the players to adjust as quickly as possible.
.
And Li Luo would not overly consider the influence of public opinion.
They are not playing for public opinion. They over-consider the influence of public opinion instead of considering themselves. This is an act of sacrificing the last for professional players.
Of course, Li Luo could understand Su Xiaoluo's thoughts.
As a manager, Su Xiaoluo will inevitably look at things from the perspective of club profits, sponsors and public opinion.
But having said that, Li Luo feels that SSG's upset is a good thing for them.
At least it was a wake-up call for them.
"Let's have a meeting."
Mafa said.
The two LCK teams gave them a try on the first day of the eight-to-four match. They need to re-formulate their BP for tomorrow. After all, they have to take into account some emergencies.
They are not the only ones watching this game, the C9 team must also be watching.
Maybe they will make some adjustments in tomorrow's BP because of the first day's game.
Their IG must take precautions.
The upset of eight to four must not happen to them again at least.
At the same time, in the temporary training facility of the C9 team.
C9’s coach’s eyes sparkled.
Before this Wave 5, he had already laid out a strategy against the IG team.
It was just the point of entering the work unit that gave him a headache.
Some of the heroes he had previously thought of to fit into the lineup had certain limitations.
But in fact, impat, as SKT's first-generation top laner, doesn't need to worry about the hero pool.
It's just that C9's coach really hasn't figured out how to deal with The shy.
They do have the best stuff.
But this kind of thing is not suitable to be used in the first game.
No team would choose to play the king and reveal their trump card as soon as they meet.
Therefore, there must be other alternatives to impat.
Today's matchup between LZ and SSG undoubtedly gave the C9 coach a great inspiration.
At this time, he is full of confidence for tomorrow's game!
"Boys, tomorrow we will tell the world and tell them who is the real light of North America!"
Thinking of this, the excited C9 coach shouted in the training room.
The C9 players are also full of confidence.
Especially ad player Sneaky.
Of course he has been paying attention to Li Luo's performance.
As he gradually learned more about it, Sneaky discovered that Shine's hero pool was highly overlapping with his in a sense.
Therefore, he is confident enough to use his understanding of heroes to develop something to restrain Shine.
In this game, he will tell the world that it is not just the LPL, the LCK division is rich in ad.
They also have excellent shooters like him in North America!
