Everyone from IG entered the venue under the watch of pdd.
Wawa and Miller came forward, and Miller looked vaguely worried: "Wouldn't saying this at this time make them more stressed?"
"Yes, the atmosphere just now was so serious."
The doll also echoed.
“I know IG very well.”
pdd shook his head slightly: "Actually, most of them are like middle school boys in novels. The more people pay attention to them, the more they can stimulate their desire to win. Prince Ning is the most typical example.
When this guy heard me saying please, he might feel happy now."
"Like this?"
Wawa and Miller nodded confusedly.
Backstage lounge.
"Haha, brother Luo, did you just hear that? Liu Mou told me please, he would never say such a thing to me before a game when I was in YM."
Prince Ning said with a smile.
Li Luo glanced at him helplessly.
Sure enough, it is impossible for this person to have too much psychological pressure before the scene.
Such a player, if he doesn't have any personal problems, is simply born for the competition.
"Okay, save some energy."
Li Luo waved his hand: "Today's first game gives you enough room to perform. Let's see your performance."
"no problem."
Prince Ning agreed carelessly on the surface, but the smile on his face faded.
In the first game of Wave 5, 99% of Korean teams will not use anything to press the bottom of the box.
This includes SSG as well.
This is the joint judgment of Li Luo and Mafa.
Therefore, in the first game, SSG will probably come up with a tentative lineup.
In this case, if IG is strong enough, the best way to respond is to also come up with a tentative lineup.
In this way, if IG can win the first game, the loss in the first game will be of no reference value to SSG.
Needless to say, this is a very risky move.
But benefits often come with risks.
IG, hold on!
The time soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon.
When the referee informed IG everyone to come on stage, the five IG people who were already prepared gathered together.
"We are going to the Bird's Nest!"
Mafa said seriously in Chinese that he had practiced all night.
"IG, come on!"
"come on!"
The hands of everyone folded together and pressed hard!
Inside the venue, there are huge crowds of people.
The scale of the Oriental Gymnasium in the Magic City is larger than that of an eight-in-four venue, so it can naturally accommodate more spectators.
When everyone from IG stepped onto the stage, the dark audience instantly burst into violent cheers!
"IG!IG!IG!"
The sound was so loud that Li Luo felt his chest vibrating.
Playing at home, the number of fans is overwhelming against IG without any suspense.
Although there were cheers when everyone from SSG came on stage, they were all shouted out by the audience out of "pattern".
The voice is only a drop in the bucket compared to IG.
"Hello viewers, welcome to the semi-finals of the League of Legends 2017 Global Finals! Hello everyone, I am Wawa."
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"
"Hi everyone, I'm pdd!"
The three people in the commentary box all looked quite serious, not as lively as before.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Wawa reluctantly smiled: "In today's semi-finals, IG will face SSG. I believe the audience is already very familiar with these two teams. One is the summer champion of our LPL division and the number one seed.
!”
"Although the other SSG team is only the third seed in the LCK, they defeated LZ, the first seed in the LCK division, with a 3-0 crushing force."
Miller took over the conversation next to him: "Yeah, I believe that the match between SSG and LZ was a surprise to many viewers. I have to say that SSG suddenly had a taste of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger in this world championship.
"
Thinking of this, Miller felt increasingly uncomfortable.
This is a feeling that has been developed from a long time ago.
Afraid of Korea.
Even if the LPL occasionally wins, it is like a flash in the pan and disappears in an instant.
Just imagine, RNG brutally tortured SSG in the group stage!
But SSG brutally defeated LZ in the quarter-finals.
Yesterday RNG lost to SKT again.
So the question is, who is the strongest among the three teams in LCK?
This problem is not only confusing for Miller, but also for most of the audience.
Is SKT the best?
But they were beaten by LZ in the summer finals.
This relationship between victory and defeat is too confusing.
In the end, there seems to be only one conclusion to evaluate the LCK.
That means these three teams are all strong.
"IG has not lost even a small game in the World Championship so far. Although the opponents they have encountered do not seem to be very strong, I believe in their strength and I firmly believe that they can show their performance when facing SSG.
Not weaker than RNG’s dominance against SSG!”
pdd took a deep breath and said slowly.
"The BP between the two sides here has begun! IG is very lucky. They got the priority to select the side when the point is rolled. With the priority to select the side, they will have the choice in the first, third and fifth games.
In the first game, they chose the blue side, which has a certain advantage in terms of BP!"
Miller seemed a little unsure when he said this.
Because yesterday's RNG also had the priority to choose sides.
But in the face of strength, the advantage of choosing sides first seems to be narrowed.
"The ban position on IG is very targeted at Leader An. Their first three moves were given to Lulu, Zhumei and Prince respectively!"
"The three ban positions for the SSG team are given to Kalista, Jace and... Luo!"
"In that case..."
The three people in the commentary box looked at each other.
"The fortune teller has been released."
pdd frowned and said.
When playing against other teams, if the opponent releases a fortune teller, he would like to open a champagne on the spot to celebrate.
But what they have to face in this game is SSG.
This feeling is completely different from playing against other teams.
However, while the three people in the commentary box were entangled, the first floor of the IG team was locked in seconds.
"The strongest auxiliary in the version, Feng Nu! There is nothing wrong with IG's choice on the first floor!"
For some reason, pdd felt relieved when he saw that IG had targeted the girl first.
No matter what the IG team will choose in the future, whether they will use the fortune teller or not, at least they will have this skill girl as the team's guarantee.
It's SSG's turn to choose.
At this moment, at the SSG team's battle table.
"They really chose Feng Nu."
Emperor Chi said with a smile.
"Are you sure you want to take it?"
Coach Edgar glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
"I think it's okay. Now that we don't have Lulu to take, it's good to use hard support."
Emperor Chi shrugged and said.
"I think it's okay. Their adc is a newcomer after all. If we win this game, it will probably have a great impact on his mentality. If we lose, we can just adjust our tactics and it won't affect anything."
Headmaster An said from the side.
He is the tactical king of the game.
He also understands some psychological warfare in the professional arena.
In this critical game, psychological warfare is even more important.
"OK."
Edgar said no more.
After the Clockwork Demon was finalized on the first floor of SSG, a hero was locked on the second floor that shocked the entire audience.
"I bloom in the midst of killing, like a flower before dawn."
Keng!
Fortune teller, the second floor is directly locked!
When the hero was finalized, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The barrage forum also exploded instantly.
"Damn, this ruler is so crazy!"
"It's like choosing a fortune teller in front of Brother Luo... If SSG wins this move, it will be quite exciting."
"I asked why they dared to let it go. It turned out that they had to choose... What should I do if the brothers suddenly panic?"
"What a panic, trust Brother Luo!"
"Reasonable discussion, Emperor Chi's Destiny Master is very powerful in the Korean server. In S6, his performance as a hero was not weaker than Bang's."
"Damn it, Brother Luo, come on, beat Emperor Chi into a younger brother!"
…
"The fortune teller... the nanny..."
In the commentary box, Miller showed a helpless smile.
He is now very worried about the mentality of everyone on IG.
SSG is really crazy.
In this version with incense burner monsters, they used small cannons, big mouths, Varus, and rats, but chose a fortune teller, and their intentions were already obvious.
"Titan, if they don't choose an auxiliary hero on the third floor, they must click Titan!"
Suddenly Miller seemed to think of something and spoke.
And when he finished speaking, IG's second and third floor heroes were also finalized.
Camille.
Policewoman!
"Brother Luo's policewoman? Although this version of the policewoman is not the best choice in ADC, if it is used to push the line, the policewoman who cooperates with Fengnu can indeed achieve good results when facing the fortune teller. Luo
Brother’s policewoman is still trustworthy, and The Shy’s choice of Camille should be intended to dismantle Samsung’s system of Camille and clockwork.”
"After all, Cuvee's Camille also has two brushes."
pdd said slowly.
The BP between the two parties has just started, but they have already played the game several times.
He hasn't felt nervous in a long time.
"The second and third floors of IG were selected in seconds, which shows that their mentality has not been affected! Isn't it just a matter of seconds? Who is afraid of whom!"
The doll's voice resonated with the audience.
However, what worried Miller was that the Titans were still locked on the third floor of SSG.
There are not many excellent supports for the hero Titan in the S7 season.
Especially since this is the Incense Burner version, everyone will almost always focus on the soft support, and few people will be lucky enough to have a hard support like Titan.
Corejj dared to show it out so decisively, which shows that SSG has really worked hard on this lineup.
Both sides of the first three rounds of BP showed certain things, and the crucial second round of BP kicked off.
For the IG team, press the wine barrel once and the blind monk twice.
Such a resolute way of targeting even the veteran leader Ru'an couldn't help but frown.
IG has indeed blocked most of the heroes it had in this World Championship.
But what makes Leader An a little confused is, IG...why didn't I block Zach, who is very suitable for Clockwork?
"Are we going to get Zach?"
Emperor Chi asked.
"Wait a minute."
Edgar shook his head.
As a coach, he is keenly aware of the loopholes in BP like IG.
Compared with IG, SSG is targeting Rookie's heroes.
Syndra, the Enchantress.
In these two hands, Rookie's best hero was directly pressed. Even though Rookie's hero pool is very deep, the pressure that the remaining heroes can put on their mid laner Crown Brother can be completely withstood.
"Let's take Nar first."
SSG's top laner Cuvee spoke at the right time and said: "Their Camille has been released. I have a good Gnar, so there is no problem in playing lane rights."
"Then take Gnar and see what their jungler will choose."
Edgar nodded.
Cuvee's state in this World Championship is what reassures him the most.
As a coach, he thinks The shy is a good prospect.
But after all, it is still just a seedling.
A seasoned top laner like cuvee will not be as aggressive as other teams' top laners.
After the fourth floor of SSG was finalized, it was IG’s turn to choose the fourth and fifth floors.
On the fourth floor of IG, Victor appeared.
Victor has been tepid in the World Championship meta.
But his performance in the later stages of the summer split was quite good.
And Victor does fit what the current version of the mid laner should look like.
"Did IG choose Victor instead of Snake... In that case, IG won't be able to pick up the pace too quickly in the early stage."
pdd vaguely saw IG's lineup concept and said: "The four-hand heroes currently selected by SSG are to be linked up in the mid-term. Looking at IG's posture now, it seems that they intend to force SSG to slow down the rhythm to confront them.
Development, if I guessed correctly, Prince Ning should choose..."
Before pdd finished speaking, the fifth floor hero of the IG team had already locked down.
Male gun!
At the SSG battle table.
"They seem to have played a game of male guns before, right? I remember that game had nothing to do with male guns?"
Emperor Chi thought about it and said.
"I thought we were already very bold, but IG's courage is even greater than ours, which is interesting."
Leader An sneered: "With a four-core lineup, aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death?"
As we all know, resources in Summoner's Rift are limited.
If someone takes more resources to go to C, someone must contribute to the team.
Choosing a four-core lineup like the IG team will be very powerful once the game is delayed until the later stages.
But correspondingly, once they are defeated head-on in the mid-term, the lineup will not be able to develop at all.
"They chose this lineup to test our line-playing ability."
Edgar frowned, IG's response was smarter than he thought.
Edgar originally thought that IG would choose a system that they are good at. For example, in the first three moves, Rookie will grab Syndra, and then King Ning will grab the barrel, and match it with the big core on the top or bottom lane.
Choose what you are good at in the first game. This is the tactic that LPL teams like to use the most when facing their LCK teams.
But IG doesn't.
The lineup they came up with didn't even have any other highlights except for the Feng Nu in version T0.
In Edgar's analysis, it seems that the only way IG can go in this game is to promote quickly.
If they can get up to speed, they will be very powerful indeed. The male gunner's jungle invasion ability is not limited. If his own economy is insufficient, he will use the opponent's economy to make up for it. This is the most common operation of multi-core lineups.
Way.
But no matter how beautiful the ideal is, how many teams can successfully realize it?
"It's a good thing we didn't pick Zach first, otherwise our midfield strength in the early stage would have been a bit too weak."
coreJJ thought for a while and said: "Then what do we get from the jungle position?"
"Olav."
Leader An gave his own answer.
Olaf Jungle is not afraid of male guns.
As long as the male gun dares to invade in this game, Leader An is confident that with his rich experience, the male gun will never come back.
Keng!
With a crisp sound, SSG finalized its final hero!
"Olav, it's locked! In this case, I feel that the SSG team's lineup is more integrated. It has team initiating, control, and output capabilities. Although the output of Destiny Master cannot be used as the core C position, it has clockwork.
There is no shortage of damage in SSG with Olaf."
Miller frowned and said: "In comparison, the advantage of IG's lineup is that it has longer hands and stronger single-band ability. It has Victor's stance and the policewoman's clip, plus Feng Nu... it will be very useful in position battles."
Advantage...wait! Positional battle!"
Miller seemed to realize something, and his frown slightly relaxed.
He seems to have discovered the biggest shining point of IG’s lineup.
"This game... depends on the dragon attribute."
pdd pondered for two seconds and said: "The idea of IG's system is very clear. In the early stage, it relies on the suppression ability of the bottom duo to gain an advantage. In the mid-term, it will push four and one points, allowing Kamil to lead alone while the others group and pull.
Although SSG has strong team-starting ability, IG's pulling ability is very terrifying."
"The female police officer's clip, the male gun's smoke screen, Victor's stance, and Feng Nu's Q skill, these can all become the key skills for the IG team to ensure an advantage in the tug-of-war, but SSG's choice of Olaf in the last move is indeed the essence."
"In any case, it still depends on the on-the-spot performance of the players on both sides in the competition field. If IG's push and resource control rhythm can be improved, the chance will be very big. As long as the Titan hook does not hit anyone first, then SSG will
It will turn passive in an instant, and this is also a very stressful game for coreJJ.”
pdd's analysis allowed the audience to roughly understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides' lineups.
"The blue team IG team has Kamil in the top lane, a male jungler, Victor in the mid lane, and the bottom duo is a policewoman and a sexy girl!"
"The red side SSG team, Gnar in the top lane, Olaf in the jungle, Clockwork Demon in the mid lane, and the duo in the bottom lane are Destiny Master and Titan!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the first matchup between IG and SSG in the semi-final wave 5!!"
The sound of cheering resounded loudly at the scene.
For the audience, this year’s S competition is of great significance.
They couldn't imagine being in a stadium as famous as the Bird's Nest in the capital without their LPL team.
And while the fans at the scene were cheering and shouting for IG, a small group of people even started to do it.
For the scalpers, they are not worried whether this game is about the honor of the LPL division.
The only thing they are worried about is the civil war in South Korea at the Bird's Nest. If there is a civil war in South Korea, then the tickets to the finals that they worked so hard to win may become useless.
On the IG battle table.
"Focus, concentrate."
Before entering the game, Li Luo's four-character mantra rang in the ears of his teammates again.
Facing SSG, whose BP was so arrogant in the first game, they must win!
Here we go, although the status today is relatively poor, we have managed to update 10,000 words. Taking into account the status problem, I will change the update time tomorrow and update the 10,000-word chapter at 6pm. It should be better to have a buffer during the day. This wave 5 is indeed too expensive.
I have a lot of energy and need to be careful. Thank you for your tolerance, brother.
