The news that "uzi returned to the starting lineup" quickly attracted a lot of attention.
Due to a hand injury, Uzi has been resting since the end of the spring split until now. Although RNG's current results in the summer split are not bad, they are just "not bad."
At least the current performance of RNG is difficult to meet the expectations of fans.
Especially when they learned that Uzi would face the IG team in the first game after his return, RNG fans were even more excited.
In contrast, the fans of the IG team were much calmer.
One is that the fan groups of both sides are incomparable. In addition, RNG can stably abuse the food.
Among the opponents currently lost by RNG, there is the OMG team that has started to improve in the spring split and even squeezed into the top four.
Another one is EDG, the opponent that RNG has been unable to defeat for a long time in the past two years.
Therefore, the flaws in RNG's results can also be explained as schedule issues.
But there is really no need to clean up here on IG.
RNG defeated WE 2-0 and successfully took revenge in the spring finals in the summer regular season. What about their IG?
But for the IG players, this is actually a good thing. At least they will not be disturbed by public opinion and can concentrate on preparing for this crucial battle.
In the starting lineup for the game against RNG, Li Luo is still in second place.
But on the first night of the game, Li Luo had already participated in the team's tactical discussions and simulated tactics for the game against RNG, simulating the BP that the two sides would formulate when Li Luo took the field to discuss.
Obviously, in Mafa's mind, there are very likely to be variables in today's game.
West also knows this, but he also knows that today's battle will be an opportunity for him.
Losing to Uzi is nothing. Anyway, in the eyes of the majority of LPL viewers, almost no one or only a very small number of people think they can beat Uzi.
It's normal to lose, and he doesn't need to feel any psychological pressure.
But what if you win?
As long as he wins, at least his presence in the team will be greater, right? The coach and Su Xiaoluo may also value him more.
west practiced till late yesterday.
When he woke up today, he felt that he was in good condition.
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The game between RNG and IG team kicked off.
Although Li Luo did not go to the main hall of the scene, he still saw the dark crowd in the training room through the live broadcast screen in the training room.
At least more than two-thirds of the fans belong to the RNG team.
Not only that, the voting support rate of this competition on the Internet is even more exaggerated.
RNG crushed IG's 11% with a support rate of 89%.
It is enough to show that before the results have been achieved, IG's configuration is actually not very pleasing except for Rookie.
In the impression of the audience, The shy? is a talented passer-by who has been popular for a while, but his performance in the game... is not very impressive.
Jungle king Ning? What else can this guy play besides being a blind monk? And even the blind monk is far worse than the incense pot, and other heroes are not as good as Ming Kai.
Obviously, in the jungle position, the current era does not seem to belong to King Ning.
Mid laner Rookie? An excellent Korean player, a Chinese thief, and the director of an orphanage.
This may be the only positive direction for the IG players.
The bot lane assist is small and transparent.
adc...with the name of the Western Emperor, adc of the emperor generation, killed the player suddenly.
This is the configuration of IG.
But with this configuration, today we have to face complete RNGs like letme, Xiangguo, Xiaohu, uzi, and Shi Senming.
What fans didn't expect was that RNG had a big coordination problem in the first game.
When letme was one TP behind in the matchup, Uzi and Shi Senming launched an attack in the bottom lane.
When Uzi's Kalista threw Shi Senming's bull head, TP's light lit up from the top lane.
King Ning and Xiangguo are all on the bottom lane.
In the middle lane, Rookie used a plane to suppress Xiaohu's clockwork, and Xiaohu rushed towards the bottom lane in sync with the plane while losing line.
But on the front, IG has one more top unit!
After this wave of team battles in the bottom lane ended, Ning Wang’s jungle mantis gained two kills, and Xihuang’s Big Mouth also got one head.
RNG's lineup is relatively strong in the early and mid-term, and in the later stages, it relies more on Clockwork's output ability.
However, when Xiaohu was defending the high ground, he made an outrageous mistake. He used a wave of ultimate moves on the spot, which made RNG fans stupid.
In the first game, IG successfully won.
Xihuang returned to the lounge happily.
The other teammates also seemed happier.
"It's similar to what we guessed last night. Uzi has only played two days of training matches. Their bot lane wave wouldn't have been possible with any other normal team. It's obvious that communication wasn't done well."
Prince Ning chuckled and looked at Li Luo: "Brother Luo, it looks like you are about to take a break again. 2-0, there is no suspense anymore."
"I think you'd better shut your mouth and stop poisoning your milk."
Li Luo was a little helpless.
There is a saying that is actually true.
People will always remember number one.
And ignore the second one.
For example, Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world...
For example, before his rebirth, Guan Zeyuan, the number one true god-level poisonous sucker in the e-sports circle (currently active).
But no one knows who the second poisonous milk and the third poisonous milk are.
But Li Luo knew that Prince Ning had a bit of a poisonous mouth.
Because he is relatively straight and does not know how to turn around, he will subconsciously judge what will happen next based on the information he knows at the moment, without thinking too much about other possibilities.
so……
The second set of IG exploded.
RNG quickly adjusted its tactics in the second set. Uzi grabbed the big mouth and paired it with Shi Senming's Thresh.
Although IG got the skate shoes, they could only choose Bron, who is more conservative, in the auxiliary position.
At level 2, Shi Senming's Thresh accurately hit West's Kalista with a wave of hooks, and the battle between the two sides began.
This time there is no support from either side, and the game relies purely on personal ability.
IG's counterattack was originally very decisive, but Shi Senming seized the critical moment when Kalista detonated the spear and weakened the West Emperor's Kalista.
This weakness directly led to a sharp decrease in damage, and then Uzi's big mouth used up the last-second treatment, successfully completing a 2v2 kill.
West was clearly on top. This time, in order to chase Uzi to replenish damage, he even gave up the flash, just to get close to the grass where Uzi entered to replenish damage as soon as possible.
His judgment was wrong, so the bottom lane exploded directly.
In this game, Xiaohu seemed to be a little more normal. With letme Camille's first move to get to The shy's Jace, Uzi turned around smartly and allowed Ning Wang Zac to jump out of the shadows.
The big mouth will kill you first, and then it will be Uzi's chance to harvest the battlefield.
How heartily IG won the last game, how miserable it was to lose this game.
Uzi, who had not played for a long time, was in significantly better condition in the second set than in the first set, and his condition gradually became hotter.
After losing, West was a little depressed. In the last wave, he had a chance to play against Big Mouth. At that time, he couldn't run away.
Thinking about it now, West felt that he should have stood up and turned around to fight with Big Mouth.
That way, at least he won't die a useless person.
But at that time, he... was frightened.
Backstage lounge.
Looking at the base crystal being pushed away, Mafa stood up, looked at Li Luo, and said directly in somewhat broken Chinese: "Are you stressed?"
"It will be a little bit."
Li Luo felt a little excited for no reason.
The uncontrolled kind.
After all...this is the first time.
In life, who hasn’t had a few firsts?
"Just a little? That's good, get ready to play."
Mafa smiled reluctantly and patted Li Luo on the shoulder.
After spending more than half a month together, the relationship between the players in the team and Li Luo has rapidly heated up.
Li Luo has a very lovable personality. He usually looks very quiet and is not as noisy as Prince Ning. But when someone asks him about understanding the game, Li Luo can always take the trouble to explain something that makes people shine.
thing.
It feels like there is a top student among a group of studious students.
IG's players are all outstanding in terms of personal operation ability.
Li Luo is still very rare on IG for being able to use his brain.
From the side, Su Xiaoluo watched this scene silently.
He is very satisfied with Mafa's approach.
This kind of stressful game is a huge test for a newcomer.
What is the concept for newcomers to face Uzi directly when they debut?
Whether Li Luo can handle it or not, Su Xiaoluo can accept it.
At least after getting to know them in the past two days, he found that the IG players seemed to be training harder than before because of Li Luo's appearance. The atmosphere in the team was gradually improving, which was a good thing for him as a manager.
If he can win this game, it means that Li Luo has also shown extraordinary talent in his performance, and his IG is not short of money. Naturally, the better the team's performance, the happier he will be, and Su Xiaoluo will also let Li Luo continue to start.
No comments.
And if he loses this game, then he has reason to discuss with MAFA or decide to reduce Li Luo's playing times and treat Li Luo purely as a tool.
Judging from the current overall atmosphere of the team, the value Li Luo has created for the club is already considerable.
This year we will reach the World Championship, next year Jackeylove will come on the scene and trade west to other clubs.
Not a bad calculation.
But there is an essential difference in thinking between Su Xiaoluo and Mafa.
That is, Su Xiaoluo only took interests as his starting point, and he did not particularly trust Li Luo's ability.
However, Mafa allowed Li Luo to play in the life and death game because he truly believed from the bottom of his heart that Li Luo's IG was stronger and could defeat this RNG team.
