The atmosphere at the scene was joyful, but it was a different scene at the IG battle table.
"Pity."
Prince Ning sighed.
"really."
Baolan also echoed.
"You two are almost done, isn't it just that the Canyon Pioneer can't dance?"
Li Luo was a little helpless. Just now, the two of them went crazy to suppress the cannon. The purpose was not to kill the cannon, but to prevent the cannon from hitting the Canyon Pioneer.
But Sneaky is also a thief. He knows that being bulldozed 20 minutes ago is already a very embarrassing thing. Since the result is unavoidable, he should at least try to change some other things.
For example...kill the Rift Herald who wants to dance in the cradle.
Therefore, before the base crystal exploded, Sneaky found the right opportunity to jump out of the spring with W, and successfully hit the eyes exposed on the side of the Rift Herald when it waved its fist.
The Canyon Pioneer, which hit three towers in a row, already had very little health, and after taking this hit, it suddenly turned into nothing and disappeared into thin air.
This made Prince Ning feel very distressed. He was so angry that he rushed forward and threw the cannon away without saying a word. However, his teammates could no longer hold back, and the scene was frozen before the cannon landed.
King Ning was a little angry.
He felt that he had won this round, but he seemed not to have won.
However, the C9 team was not happy either.
It's 2 to 0.
They were already standing on the edge of the cliff.
Although European and American teams are optimistic and open.
But C9 entered the quarterfinals this time with a lot of energy.
They used to be good brothers with EU.
As a result, EU has already surpassed them, so it's okay to be ridiculed by LCK and LPL. If EU takes advantage of them again... they can't afford to lose that person.
There are two teams from EU that have entered the quarterfinals.
Although in their opinion, most of the two EU teams will stop at the quarterfinals.
But they may not be beaten 3-0!
Even if they were defeated 3-0, the total time could not be shorter than theirs.
Everyone in C9 is already a little bit desperate at this moment.
They realized that conservative play seemed unable to close the gap with IG, and only madness could create a glimmer of hope.
The IG team also knows this.
An injured hungry wolf may fight back on the verge of death, no matter how seriously injured it is.
Only by killing it completely can you feel relieved.
Therefore, when the two sides came to the battle table again, there was no hint of laughter and laughter in the faces of the IG people, and some were just serious.
And their expressions also caught the eyes of everyone in the C9 team, which made them feel even heavier.
"LPL teams like to expand, why wouldn't they?"
impat whispered.
IG's play style in Summoner's Rift is very aggressive, ridiculously aggressive, and even a little rough.
But IG outside the court is very stable, so stable that it makes people scared.
"Don't think so much, let's see if their BP will be fooled."
C9's coach said slowly.
Following the referee's reminder, the third match between the two sides kicked off.
The blue side's C9 team had two bans in front of them, namely, Fortune Master and Jace.
The IG team clicked off gems and Shen.
The first two bans from both sides looked normal.
But after C9's third-hand hero was banned, the three commentators in the commentary box were a little stunned.
"They...pressed Feng Nu. In this case, they are planning to snatch one of Xia Luo and forcefully demolish IG's Xia Luo."
Guan Zeyuan said thoughtfully.
This is indeed what C9 means.
Their ban seats are not enough, and can even be described as "very scarce".
Without the energy to target Xia Luo, the solution C9's coach came up with was to grab one himself and let IG get one.
This was the only way C9's coach could think of during the short halftime break.
Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with his idea.
But the C9 coach overlooked one point.
Think about what IG would do?
When C9's third ban ended, IG's third ban also appeared.
Prince.
The ban itself is nothing.
But the coach of C9 felt his heart skip a beat after seeing the ban announced by IG.
IG’s three ban positions...have all appeared!
In the commentary box.
Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose: "IGbanned the prince?! In that case, Kalista was released!"
It only took pdd a very short time to suddenly realize: "Ya'er, in this case, it's C9's turn to choose. Either grab Kalista and release Xia Luo so that IG can continue to take it, or grab one of Xia Luo and release it."
Calista...this..."
pdd did not continue.
But the audience can already fully imagine the psychology and emotions of the C9 coach at this time.
"I……"
The C9 coach opened his mouth.
At this time, his mind was in a state of confusion.
Kalista is strong, strong in laning, and strong in team fights.
It is very powerful when paired with soft and hard assists, and can also protect the incense burner monster.
But if they really matched up with Kalista, could they withstand Xia Luo's onslaught?
"you……"
The C9 coach looked at Sneaky. Before he could say anything, Sneaky said directly: "I can't beat him, I can't beat him."
C9 coach:……
"How about we take Luo first? Let's see how they choose between Kalista and Kasumi."
Ssoothie thought for a while and then said.
"NONONO..."
"NO!"
Two voices with different voices but the same meaning sounded almost at the same time.
One is sneaky and the other is impat.
"Their Kalista can go on the road. I have reason to suspect that after we choose Rakan, they will take Xayah and Kalista together!"
impat said in a deep voice.
IG has learned from the past in this regard.
When he thought about Theshy's plate of calista, his scalp felt numb.
"But you can't guarantee that they picked Kalista just to hit the top lane, right?" neaty retorted.
"stop!"
C9's coach saw that the game time was approaching, and he immediately made the decision in annoyance: "Take Xayah and give them Kalista and Rakan. Taking Xayah will at least ensure that our bottom lane can develop peacefully and we won't die so easily."
.”
Impat and Sneaky both fell silent.
They could see that the coach was clearly angry.
In their eyes, this coach, who is related to the boss, still has dignity and a strong voice.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, if they are taking Kalista on the road, you choose Titan. After level 6, I will kill him every time. In this game, I will use the male gun."
ontratz stepped up to the rescue at the right time for his teammates.
Impat's expression softened slightly after hearing this.
Titan's top laner was the hero he played twice in the group stage.
Although this hero is a bit cumbersome and will definitely go to jail in the early stage, once it reaches level 6, paired with a bursting hero like Male Gun, it can indeed turn the opponent's top laner into a cash machine.
If IG really chooses to let Kalista play the top lane, I will only feel a little uncomfortable before level 6 at most.
C9's coach looked slightly calmer.
He glanced at Ontratz appreciatively.
However, underneath Ontratz’s smiling appearance, he had other thoughts.
After the second game, he discovered that his rhythmic ability was much inferior to that of Ning Wang.
The ability to lead the rhythm seems to be my strong point.
In this case, it is better to honestly choose a brush hero for development. No matter what Theshy chooses, he will squat on the road. If the kill can be K, he will K, and the number of last hits in the jungle must be higher than that of King Ning.
If you can help other lanes, just forget it. If you can't help, don't blame him. If the collapse is too severe, you can't blame him. He needs to develop as a hero without control, and his gank ability is relatively limited.
The difference from the first scene is that this time he has to arrest people and show that he is working very hard, at least not to make the audience think that he is messing around.
Standing up at the right time to solve problems for players and coaches. On the one hand, it will increase the favorability of the players. On the other hand, it will make the coach value you more. Next year, you can get a good salary. Perfect.
!
After C9 finalized Xayah on the first floor, Mafa from the IG team said directly: "Calista, Luo."
The first and second floors were immediately locked without saying a word.
"As expected, it's Kalista paired with Rakan, but it's worth mentioning that IG's Kalista can swing! They... well... maybe, maybe the only one of the eight teams in the top eight of this world championship.
A team that can rock Kalista!"
While Guan Zeyuan was talking, the second and third floors of C9 were quickly locked.
Lulu.
Male gun.
Currently, among the soft supports outside the field, only Lulu is the most comfortable, and C9 can only take it first.
The other heroes C9 planned to hide for a while, so they settled on the male gun first.
There was no ambiguity on the third floor of the IG team, Rookie directly took down the Clockwork Demon.
"Clockwork... Then IG has a chance to play the system in this game. How to play depends on the second round of ban positions of both sides... Oh, C9's targeting here is very clear. They have two ban positions in the back.
In the game, Zac and Camille were directly pressed to death, which is equivalent to eliminating the choice of heroes to enter the field with Clockwork, while on IG's side, they pressed Syndra and Snake."
While Guan Zeyuan was speaking, the IG team was at the battle table.
"Let's go with Centaur. Centaur is better. Pig Girl is too weak in the jungle. I will be killed by him."
King Ning glanced at the remaining jungle heroes, and it seemed that not many of them could fit into the lineup.
Today he felt a little itchy and wanted to play a game of horses and horses, so he brought it up directly.
"People and horses..."
Li Luo pondered for two seconds: "Okay."
"Then just people and horses."
Mafa trusts Li Luo's judgment, and as long as the people, horses and clockwork cooperate properly, they can indeed connect a good wave.
After IG locked the heroes on the fourth floor, the C9 team did not give IG much room to think. They locked the heroes on the fourth and fifth floors equally quickly.
Titan.
And...Dragon King!
There were bursts of exclamations at the scene.
The fact that Dragon King, a hugely unpopular hero, can appear in the World Championship is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of many people.
But there are also a small number of viewers who have seen media reports about the C9 team.
In early October, Jian Huang practiced the hero Dragon King extensively in rank, and the data were pretty good.
At that time, some people speculated whether he would use Dragon King in this world championship.
After all, before this, he had never even played the hero Dragon King in the professional arena.
This is the first time in Jian Huang’s career!
"Dragon King! Come on, come on, I've seen his Dragon King's OB recently. His Dragon King is the kind that can be used in a system, and it plays quite well."
Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up, he liked this kind of bloody team.
Think about it, if the ultimate move prepared during the World Championship is still hidden and not used at this juncture, it will really become a plane ticket.
"It is indeed the Dragon King."
I am not surprised that C9 chose Li Luo.
Before the rebirth, when C9 faced the WE team in Wave 5, they chose the system of Dragon King and male gun for the first time.
These two heroes are well-known in the C9 team. They often directly throw away these two ultimate moves during the tug-of-war between the two sides in the later stages of the team battle to consume the opponent's health first.
Moreover, Jian Huang’s Dragon King roaming ability is quite good.
It's just that... what he matched up with was clockwork.
And it’s still Rookie’s clockwork.
How successful it will be is yet to be determined.
As for the Titan in the top lane position, Li Luo had previously thought that it would be perfect for Theshy to deal with such a cumbersome hero.
"In this case...the only thing left between the two sides is IG's fifth floor, which has not yet chosen a hero. Let's see if IG lets Kalista go down the lane with Rakan or moves Kalista to the top. IG's
Here on the fifth floor... hmm? What does this hero mean???"
Guan Zeyuan looked stunned as he spoke.
pdd noticed the footage shown by the director. At this time, Li Luo stretched out and was talking to his teammates.
"No way, it can't really be Giggs... Oops, it's really locked?!?"
Amidst the low voices of Guan Zeyuan and countless spectators at the scene, IG locked up a nonsensical hero on the fifth floor.
Explosive genius, Giggs.
Naturally, it is impossible to hit the road when this hero is selected.
Then there is only one possibility.
This one, go down the road with Luo.
"Bomberman went down the lane... To be honest, this precedent has not happened before. There was one game in the LCK Summer Split. I forgot which team it was, but they played SKT, so they lost miserably in the end. There was also one game in North America.
It seems to be in response to the policewoman’s push streaming system, but it also lost.”
Guan Zeyuan's memory is really excellent.
He often watches LCK.
We will also study some new bottom lane heroes in the version.
Therefore, when Bomberman first appeared on the scene, Guan Zeyuan had studied its feasibility.
pdd said thoughtfully: "To be honest, my understanding of the hero Bomberman is still limited to EDG from S4."
My ss has become transparent without even realizing it.
After two games, Miss Miss no longer wanted to participate in tactical analysis except for some off-topic conversations. The feeling of being corrected made her a little embarrassed.
She does know how to play Bomberman.
Such a simple hero only needs a hand.
But her understanding is naturally inferior to Guan Zeyuan and pdd.
Guan Zeyuan pondered for a moment and said: "That's right, Bomberman's W skill was strengthened once in version 7.15, which is the version where Ezreal's Q skill was strengthened, so both LCK and LCS have it.
I used it after I came out, and the enhancement reduced the cooldown time of its W skill a lot. If I remember correctly, Bomberman's W skill at full level originally was 18 seconds, but after the enhancement, the W skill at full level only has 12 seconds left.
.”
"This is undoubtedly a relatively big enhancement for Bomberman. As long as the skill CD is sufficient in the later stage, its W cooldown can be shorter. However, this hero has an embarrassing point, that is, it is extremely fast when faced with the ability to push lanes.
In the early stage of the combination, there will be a situation where it cannot be pushed. Since the HP of the defense tower cannot be touched, his W skill will naturally become useless."
Guan Zeyuan's analysis made many people who didn't know this hero suddenly realize.
In fact, Guan Zeyuan still had something on his mind that he didn't say.
Different heroes will naturally have different effects on different teams.
The personal abilities of the third line of the IG team are all impeccable.
Their fighting style is a sharp knife, not a shield.
The previous three games were all about weak teams beating strong teams, so they had no choice but to choose Bomber to resist the pressure.
No strong offensive team has chosen this hero yet.
It is not difficult to consume the health of the defense tower based on the personal ability of the IG team.
Bomberman's W skill at full level will have a terrifying explosive ability of 35% of the damage.
Even if few bombers are willing to max out W in the early stage, its level 1 W still has a 25% explosion effect.
This means that a quarter of the defense tower's health will be directly melted!
"How will IG... fight?"
Guan Zeyuan is full of expectations.
At the same time, on the IG battle table.
"You have to grab it with both hands, and you have to be hard with both hands. This is going to be interesting."
Prince Ning said with a smile.
Different lineup systems have different playing styles.
The stronger the lineup the team chooses, the more varied their play style will be.
This is also the reason why many strong teams are not afraid of being targeted in a certain way in the professional arena.
If this path is targeted, just change the way of playing and take another path.
As long as the players don't have any outrageous shortcomings, tactics will determine everything!
Li Luo said nothing.
Choosing Bomberman to coordinate tactics is only one aspect.
On the other hand, Li Luo felt that he needed to adjust.
Adjust yourself and the entire team.
His keen mind could vaguely feel that although IG's recent games appeared to be based on their original tactics and play style.
But the center of gravity began to shift towards the bottom lane imperceptibly.
You may not see any problems in a short period of time.
But in the long run, this is not a good thing for the entire IG team.
Li Luo hopes to become the sharpest sword in the team.
But he also hopes to be the scabbard when the team shows its strength and maintain the stability of the entire team.
In addition, Li Luo also knew that several other teams in the World Championship might be staring at them.
Li Luo doesn't know whether they will be confused by Bomberman's choice, but it doesn't matter. Li Luo still has a hero to choose from.
"The C9 team on the blue side, the Titan in the top lane, the jungler Lancer, the Dragon King in the mid lane, and the bottom duo is Xia and Lulu!"
"The red side IG team has Kalista as the top laner, Jungle as the jungler, Clockwork as the mid laner, and the bottom lane duo is Bomber and Rakan!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the most critical match point of today's wave of 5!"
As Guan Zeyuan's words fell, ten people from both sides entered the Summoner's Canyon.
In C9’s battle table, Neaky’s face turned ugly after seeing IG’s bottom lane choice.
The most disgusting hero in his rank is Bomberman.
It just so happens that players on the American server like to come up with such weird things.
Sneaky knew very well whether Xayah could beat Bomberman or not.
If two people were to fight for control, he was absolutely sure to destroy Bomberman.
But if it was a competition to push the line, he really couldn't push Bomber before he set up a two-piece set.
C9's tactical ideas for this game were already very clear before the game.
The jungler's male gunman stays on the road while clearing the jungle.
Let Xayah in the bottom lane resist the pressure, use her ultimate to protect herself, stay alive, and grow.
Before Bomberman appeared, there was no problem with this tactical arrangement.
But after the bombers came out, there was a big problem.
If you don't care about this bottom lane and let Bomber push it, something big will happen!
But it’s hard for him to say anything to ontratz right now.
It was impossible for him to just go out on the road and let Kalista develop, and he couldn't keep running up and down like this.
What puzzles him is that in his impression, the LPL is not a team that likes to do fancy things.
Why has everything changed since you got to IG?
Hit the road.
The impat with small cloth armor and full of red medicine controls the Titan and comes online.
The purpose of his appearance is very clear.
You can't keep me from eating Little Soldier Smecta.
Even if you beat me, I will still eat Smecta.
Theshy didn't care about that, he still took the starting position, and then moved forward on the line. Seeing that the Titan was interested in attacking, he jumped up and opened A.
"Don't eat, don't eat!"
In the middle, Jian Huang started to battle with Rookie as soon as he came online.
Dragon King's matchup with Clockwork is as strong as before level 3.
Jian Huang obviously knows how to wind up, so he plays very hard at levels 1 and 2.
The price of this is that when the line is pressed, the man who has finished the blue buff comes running over from behind and kicks him.
Although he failed to kick out his summoner skills, he knocked away a bottle of his medicine.
This made Jian Huang a little uncomfortable, and he immediately restrained himself a lot.
With King Ning’s early help, Rookie took advantage of the situation and passed level 1 and level 2.
When the clockwork reaches level 3, the initiative will naturally fall on Rookie.
For the audience, the laning phase of this game was nothing interesting except for the top lane.
Especially the bottom lane.
Li Luo's Bomberman gave the audience a feeling of dreaming back to the summer games.
After entering the World Championships, Li Luo made changes in his playing style, which many viewers know clearly.
Li Luo obviously played harder in the World Championship.
However, when Li Luo first entered the audience's field of vision, the impression he gave to the public was that he was "steady" and "smooth".
Bomberman himself is a very oily hero.
Now that it's in Li Luo's hands again, you can imagine how disgusting it is when facing off.
"Another hit... The Netherfire Touch's burning damage is considerable. Xia Xia has already taken the blood medicine. IG's bottom lane has gained the initiative to push the lane. Fortunately, Bomberman's mana is not much, although Xia Xia is a little uncomfortable.
, but there is still no problem with normal and stable development.”
When Li Luo's Bomberman had exhausted its mana consumption, his economy seemed to be close to one thousand yuan.
After controlling Bomberman to return to the city, Li Luo directly handed over the TP and returned to the lower route.
"Tp's Bomberman...this time Brother Shine came home and added the missing chapters. The missing chapters in this version are indeed very cheap, and you can get blue back by upgrading. That makes Xia feel a little uncomfortable..."
pdd looked at the situation on the field and felt a little uncomfortable.
He tried to put himself into Xayah's perspective, and found that he was disgusted.
The consumption of Bomberman in the early stage is actually not bad. With Lulu's shield protection, Xayah's blood volume will not be consumed too much. This can be seen from the fact that Xayah can still maintain a good condition at this time.
But the advancement of the military line is a problem that Xia and Lulu have no way to deal with.
Bomberman had already TPed down, and the line of troops under their defense tower was cleared. Seeing Bomberman press in, he immediately threw away all his skills and cleared the next wave of troops. Sneaky was ready to return to the city, but after seeing this scene
Then he hesitated again.
You must know that the money-spawn rate in Summoner's Rift is linked to the hero's own equipment.
The better the Bomberman's equipment, the faster he can clear lanes.
He and Lulu don't have the ability to attack Bomberman. Unless the jungler comes to help, they can only watch Bomberman push the lane. Neaky feels very uncomfortable. At this time, his Xia returns home with absolutely not enough money.
Those who purchased the Storm Sword can only buy a pickaxe.
But if he doesn't go back, he won't be able to go back until Bomberman runs out of mana next time.
With only Dolan Sword, the gap between his clearing speed and Bomberman will become wider and wider, and the health of the defense tower will be consumed little by little.
It's a vicious cycle.
"How about I go over and replenish the thread, and you go back to replenish it first."
Jungler Ontratz said very thoughtfully. Neaky hesitated again and again and could only agree.
At least this will not make the army lose in vain, and fattening up your own jungler is actually a good thing.
The male gun came to the bottom lane.
The C9 trio did not consider forcing a gank.
They don't have that condition.
The only first mover is Lulu's Flash Sheep Transformation.
IG's vision in the bottom lane is very good, and ontratz was discovered as soon as he came.
Watching the C9 duo return to the city, Li Luo and Bao Lan simply ignored the male gun and continued to push the line A tower.
The male gunner didn't care about them and just focused on clearing the line quickly.
Both sides seemed to agree on each other's ideas.
This feeling is a bit subtle.
But at this moment, something went wrong on the road.
The men and horses took to the road and overran the Titans.
The way to jump over the tower is very simple. The Titan's HP was consumed too much during the laning phase. After preparing to retreat to the city, King Ning found the male spearman in the bottom lane, so he jumped over him naturally.
Kalista, who reaped the kills, also reaped a large wave of minions under the top tower that the Titans could not eat.
"Nice!"
Theshy is very happy.
Rather than using his own soldiers to develop, he is more happy if the enemy cannot obtain soldiers and cannot develop.
Something happened in the top lane, and Titan was about to reach level 6. Although ontratz was extremely reluctant to leave, he really couldn't stay in the bottom lane for long.
Ontratz gave up his position to the bottom lane duo again and headed towards the top lane.
"They went wild and left."
Li Luo noticed that the male gun disappeared and said.
"I understand."
Bao Lan smiled, Li Luo's words made him understand what he should do.
Almost at the same time, King Ning, who completed the gank on the top lane, came towards the bottom lane after receiving supplies.
Game time is 6 minutes and 50 seconds.
The Titan, who had reached level 6, decisively attacked Kalista with a male gun guarding him.
This was supposed to be a surefire gank.
But just as the Titan and the male gun rushed forward, Theshy waved his hand, controlled Kalista's ultimate move, and pulled Luo, who was ambushing not far away, over.
At the same time, get off the road.
When Luo appeared on the top lane, Sneaky and Ssoothie wanted to attack Bomberman directly, but the dragon's roar stopped them.
"Damn it!"
Ontratz's face turned dark.
Taking advantage of the gap they came in, IG moved Luo to the top lane, and at the same time moved the jungler to the bottom lane to protect Bomberman, and also get the dragon.
Such flexible personnel allocation caught them off guard!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Come on, come on, at about 4 o'clock, my brothers and I reported that I would be late in the writer's words in the previous chapter, but looking at the comments, it seems that many brothers didn't see it. It's Xiaosi's fault, so sad, so sad... Today I'm so busy that I'm almost going crazy. The editor even asked me to write a side story to participate in an event... My brother is celebrating his birthday today, but I'm so busy that I can't even eat. Sorry, sorry...
