In the commentary box, Guan Zeyuan was shocked beyond words.
In his impression, Li Luo had not brought this hero to the competition stage for quite some time.
Even to the entire LPL team, this hero is unfamiliar.
Now the fortune teller appeared again, actually on the stage of the quarter-finals.
"To be honest, in this version... Destiny Master can indeed be on the competition stage, but this hero is positioned as a pure hybrid in the current version. Usually only the bastard AD will use this hero. The purpose is to resist in the bottom lane.
Pressure, so that the team does not need to invest resources in the lower half.”
Wang Duoduo said with some surprise: "But we all know EDG very well. In the past six months, Luo Ge has mostly chosen heroes with strong carry capabilities, but now he has taken Jhin out. So EDG's tactical intentions...
"
Guan Zeyuan's eyes flickered twice, and then he opened his mouth: "Do you think... is it possible, I mean possible, that this fortune teller is what the G2 team wants to choose?"
Seeing that Wang Duoduo didn't speak, Guan Zeyuan continued: "Currently, Divination Master has only appeared twice in this world championship, and the one who used it twice was G2's adc player Hjarnan. In the group stage, he used Divination Divination.
Achieving a record of one win and one loss, except for two games of Destiny Master and two games of Great Inventor, the hero he chose in the other two games was Varus."
When Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the G2 team, which had already reached the final countdown on the second and third floors, had finally decided on the hero.
Second floor, Jess.
Varus on the third floor.
"Now, in this case, only Varus can be chosen for G2."
Guan Zeyuan spread his hands and said.
His analysis is undoubtedly very thorough.
But there was another aspect that Guan Zeyuan didn't see.
That's how much impact EDG's first two heroes have on G2's tactical BP after locking the Destiny Master, an upset in this year's S Championship.
At this moment, G2 is at the battle table.
The faces of the bottom duo don't look very good.
Especially for the support position, wadid, who came to G2 as a Korean aid, feels a little aggrieved at the moment.
Originally, according to G2's BP idea, we planned to lock him in support on the third floor.
As far as the overall composition of the G2 team is concerned, since adc plans to choose a gangster, he will be very important as a support.
The protective auxiliary Tahm Kench is the best choice, but he was killed by EDG in the first three moves.
He still has Braum to get.
But now it seems that it is probably gone. In the second round, the ban position EDG will 100% kill Braum.
But G2 has no choice.
If they don't lock Varus down on the third floor, Hjarnan will be as good as being offline, and they will have to shoulder the burden of "the game can't be played without him."
EDG locked Poppy on the third floor.
This is undoubtedly another choice that makes the G2 coach frown.
This version of Poppy can be both top laner and jungler.
No matter which one it is, as long as this hero exists, it will pose a great threat to Akali's entry into the team during group fights.
"We don't have double poke anymore, I feel like we need to use Leopard Girl."
The European comedian jungler Jankos seemed very happy. He spread his hands and said, "Coach, believe me, with my Leopard Girl here, at least we won't lose too badly."
"Oh, my god, damn it, if you say such frustrating things again, I will slap your ass with my size 45 shoes."
G2's coach gave Jankos a hard look.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Jankos' Leopard Girl had a pretty good winning rate, more than 70%.
Although the number of shows is a bit less, there are still about twenty.
This winning rate is already very good.
But looking at his unreliable appearance, he feels weak as a coach.
In addition, if they choose Leopard Girl for the jungler in their system, it will be equivalent to not having a front row. If they can't tear apart EDG's defense in the early and mid-term, it will definitely lose the game in the late stage.
But if you don't choose Leopard Girl for the jungle, but choose to supplement the front row, the significance of Jace's selection will not be very great, and their early rhythm may not be able to proceed smoothly.
The second round of bp for both sides begins.
In order to curb the rhythm of the EDG team, G2 first took down the younger brother's rock bird. Of course, it is not ruled out that EDG will use the rock bird for the jungler. After all, the current version of the rock bird has a higher priority in the jungle position than
Medium unit.
Immediately afterwards, G2 pressed Syndra again, which relieved the pressure on Ap.
As expected, the two ban positions of the EDG team were given to Niutou and Braum respectively.
One is a support that has greater restraint on heroes like Rakan, and is also the mainstream of the version.
There is also one of the heroes that G2 auxiliary wadid is best at.
Once these two heroes are pressed, the auxiliary space G2 can choose is so weak that it can be ignored.
Or a female tank.
Or Titan.
These two heroes have a common characteristic. Once selected, it is impossible to use them to withstand pressure.
EDG is equivalent to forcing the bottom lane they want to be bad to attack.
When it was EDG's turn to choose, the EDG team locked the wine barrel on the fourth floor.
This is also a very subtle choice.
After all, wine barrels can be played both on and off the field.
As for the jungler that EDG finalized, G2's coach was a little frustrated. These two heroes played a huge role in the front row. They also roughly guessed what the junior would choose, but they were unable to target it.
G2 had no choice but to choose Titan. At least on paper, Titan and Varus' double teamfighting, dual control, and head lock are all quite bluffing. In addition, Titan does have certain abilities against Rakan.
of restraint.
On the fifth floor, G2 finally locked Leopard Girl.
On the fifth floor of EDG, the late-stage core hero Czar was selected for the younger students.
A standard AD tool player and a tactical concept for the mid laner.
"The lineups of both sides have been determined! The blue side G2 team, Jayce in the top lane, Jungle Leopard in the jungle, Akali in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Verus and Titan!"
"The red side EDG team, the top laner is the wine barrel, the jungler Bobby, the mid laner is the Desert Emperor, and the bottom lane duo is a combination of Destiny Master and Luo!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the first round of this quarter-final together!"
As Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the sound of cheering sounded one after another from the scene.
The Koreans are cheering hard for G2, hoping that they can defeat the LPL's No. 1 seed as challengers.
Many Koreans have even dreamed of it. G2 will kill EDG, and then give the head to KT. VIT will crush IG in the second half, and KT will easily defeat VIT in the finals. Perfect!
Of course, there are also many "sane" Korean fans who are not so demanding. They only hope that the big brothers of G2 can understand EDG's tactics as much as possible, so that if KT wins the championship, they will also give G2 a share of the credit.
As the game officially began, at the EDG battle table, the players also began to communicate about the handling and positioning of the first-level team.
"G2 will most likely choose to enter as a group at level 1. Their lineup will be very comfortable if they can guess our jungle route."
Li Luo said: "Besides, it will be difficult for us to take advantage of the 5v5 head-on collision in the first-level group, but we can design it."
"OK, listen to you."
Xiaotian said.
The others had no objections.
Then Li Luo expressed his thoughts in the most concise way. Of course, Li Luo didn't say much. After all, he was just guessing.
Whether G2 will invade or not depends on their own ideas.
Ten people from both sides quickly entered the Summoner's Rift.
The EDG team quickly dispersed their formation. Xiaotian's Poppy moved directly towards the triangular grass in the red side of the bottom lane in his own wild area. After entering the grass, Xiaotian left a field of vision in the grass in the lower river.
At the same time, Jin Gong's wine barrel, Meiko's Luo and the junior student's Tsar all arrived at the middle river.
Li Luo's fortune teller followed Poppy and wandered near his own blue buff area.
"coming!"
As soon as his field of vision was cleared, Xiaotian's eyes froze.
Five people from G2 appeared in his field of vision.
For G2's lineup, a group invasion from the bottom lane is the best way.
And that's exactly what they did.
However, although the personal strength of this team is not bad, the details of the operation are very rough.
For example... they invaded without scanning. All five of them grouped together and entered the next grass, but no one had a scan to explore the field of vision of the river grass.
The five of them stood silently like this for two or three seconds before joining a group to invade the lower half of EDG's wild area.
At the same time, from God’s perspective.
The light belonging to the red square on the mini-map shines frequently.
The Korean guide also split the screen, and the other half of the screen clearly illuminated the movements of the EDG people at the middle river channel.
I saw Jiutong and Luo walking directly towards the lower half of the blue side's wild area. After entering the wild area, they stood in the grass behind the red buff. The younger brother controlled his Czar in the grass in the middle of the river.
The view remained, and then retreated to the river grass.
When everyone in G2 invaded, they first saw Xiaotian’s Poppy and Li Luo’s Fortune Teller.
The two of them kept a safe distance, and it was not easy for wadid to make the first move.
Moreover, the purpose of G2's invasion itself was not to strike first.
Jankos was very careful. He was worried about an ambush in the blue buff grass, so he decisively threw his javelin at the grass.
After finding no target, Jankos frowned and pinned the signal.
G2's large army openly left a field of vision in front of the EDG blue buff, and then circled around, intending to return to their own jungle area from the middle river.
During the retreat, G2 also tried to block its vision and take the lead on the two people who fell behind it.
However, Li Luo predicted this, and Titan's heavy hook landed two millimeters in front of the fate master, but failed to hit him.
"pity."
Wadid shook his head helplessly.
Just when G2 was about to withdraw without any regrets, Li Luo controlled the fortune teller to reveal the team logo.
"Let him pretend."
Ah P smiled nonchalantly and at the same time greeted all G2 members and showed their signs.
They are the professionals when it comes to the whole job.
However, when they were approaching the river grass along the entrance to the wild area, a sand soldier appeared in the grass at the entrance to the red square wild area, and the sand soldier poked them.
"The Tsar is here and they are a bit annoying."
"Be careful, beware of ambush."
Although Jankos is a comedian, at this time he is more serious than ever.
A javelin was thrown in the direction of the younger brother, but the younger brother avoided it.
Wunder's Jace used his Q skill in Jace's long-range form to explore the grass in the middle of the river.
It's obvious that the people at G2 are very careful.
But the audience from God's perspective can clearly see that G2 seems to have fallen into the circle of EDG.
"Their positions are too dense. There is someone with a spiritual cloak on Bobby's side! Could it be that..."
Guan Zeyuan opened his mouth. He was also quite nervous at this time. This terrain... was really too sensitive.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Just when everyone in G2 was about to arrive at the entrance to their jungle area, a round belly suddenly jumped from the wall.
This is G2's blind spot.
At the same time, G2 never imagined that there would be wine barrels standing guard here!
At the moment when the golden light flashed, all members of G2 were hit by a heavy belly strike, and all five people fell into a brief state of dizziness.
Almost at the same time, the fateful master's fatal brilliance struck instantly, accurately hitting Varus who was at the back of the team.
Junior's Czar simultaneously releases sand soldiers. Of course, this hero is really weak at level 1, and the output that Junior can cause is very pitiful.
But there are indeed enough control chains that cannot hold up EDG!
Almost at the moment when Barrel E flashed into the field, Meiko's Rakan also appeared in the sight of everyone in G2.
The grand debut of the W skill is almost a control chain that is perfectly connected in tandem with the wine barrel.
Among the five people, four were thrown into the air in response, and Varus was immediately hung up and set on fire.
Hjarnan's reaction was half a beat too slow. He didn't hand over the treatment the first time. When he handed it over again, he was already affected by the serious injury effect of Ignite, resulting in a small amount of healed blood.
Xiaotian's Poppy reaction was also extremely decisive. EDG only had one target, and that was Verus.
He entered the field in a flash and locked onto Verus directly. When Li Luo's bullet A came out, Xiaotian used his E skill and slammed Verus against the wall.
boom!
Varus, who was on fire, was at the bottom of his health.
first blood!
The head was captured by Poppy, and G2 was the first to reduce its numbers.
But the real issue for G2 to consider right now is that they cannot let the team downsize again.
Under the control of EDG's AOE, several people in G2 suffered varying degrees of damage.
Li Luo's fortune teller has already taken steps to catch up. Jiugong and Luo are still clinging to their large army. In this situation, if you don't use any skills, the outcome is really hard to predict.
Ap, who was holding skill points, was forced to learn the W Xia Formation and withdraw from the battlefield first. Jace, who became the second target, was not so lucky and could only cross-dodge away. Jankos was very stable. He knew that he
As long as the Leopard Girl sticks into the grass, she will have a movement speed bonus, so Jankos was safe in the end.
Wadid also first hit the wine barrel to immobilize him, then opened the distance between the team and used his hook to hit the wall to pull himself over.
EDG saw this situation and did not continue to pursue. They could only earn so much.
When the first-level team was at a disadvantage, EDG used two flashes, one to ignite, in exchange for one first blood, one healer, and one Jace's flash.
Although the summoner skills are slightly inferior, just the fact that Akali is forced to learn W at level 1 can already make the junior laning in the middle much more comfortable.
Moreover, after this wave of play is over, Jankos on the G2 team must go home. The duo in the bottom lane cannot help him clear the jungle, so he can only open alone.
Although the hero Leopard Girl has a strong jungle clearing speed, it only reaches level 2.
No matter how good the level 1 Leopard Girl is at pulling out jungles, her clearing speed is extremely slow.
Play a beautiful first-level team with a weak lineup, EDG, and make blood!
