The Thorn Birds' winning time in the second BO3 game was more than five minutes shorter than the time they lost to IG in the first game!
Although in the eyes of insiders, it is normal for the early and mid-stage poke flow system to end after gaining a relatively large advantage, but most viewers will only view it from the most intuitive perspective.
"Who said I can't be a thorn bird?"
"I'm very sorry, Brother Luo. I admit that I spoke a little louder at the end of the first round."
"The god-like Ezreal, this Thorn Bird also performs very well in other positions. Judging from this game, it seems that the strength gap between the two sides is not very big..."
"Brother Luo's Ezreal... Turtle, will he be banned in the next game?"
"As we all know, the only way to contain Brother Luo is to prevent him from playing. Brothers, I am right there. This may be my only chance. I am going to kill him alone!"
…
Fans in the Tieba forum were very happy.
For fans of the Thorn Birds, this game is naturally a surprise brought to them by the Thorn Birds.
If they are really crushed 2-0, even if Thorn Birds fans can convince themselves in their hearts, it may be difficult for them to get over it in a short time.
And it won’t be hard for fans of the IG team. After all, judging from the lineup, they were obviously set up by the Thorn Birds this time.
And it is worth mentioning that in the last round of this BO3, the Thorn Birds, who had the priority to choose sides, still chose the red side.
In the IG backstage lounge.
"They chose red again, which is a bit troublesome."
Rookie frowned after getting the news.
His laning was not that comfortable in the last game, at least compared to the first game. In the last game, Rookie's sword girl suffered a considerable degree of targeting from the laning stage to the team battle.
The Thorn Birds choose red, which means they will reserve the counter slot for the middle and top lane.
Whether it is given to Xiye in the middle or Brother Shengqiang in the top lane, it is actually more troublesome for IG. They clearly know that Brother Shengqiang and Xiye have been in the professional arena for many years.
How deep is the player hero pool?
And IG has no way to take advantage of the blue side’s bp advantage.
They need to ban at least two, maybe three adcs.
What are the advantages after being banned?
"It's okay, we have our own solution."
Mafa’s eyes flashed.
Counter position is really troublesome.
But if they can come up with a hero who can swing up and down, and the attributes of the two heroes are different, then when the Thorn Birds take out their counter slot, IG can use the hero's restraint characteristics to their best advantage.
Possibly adjust the situation of opposing heroes.
This is something IG is better at.
On the other side, inside the Thorn Bird's lounge.
"So there is no need to put too much pressure on ourselves. Who are we? We are a team that plans to compete for the championship. What we have to do is to show our strength and the attitude of a strong team, so that other teams can compete.
By the time we subconsciously feel timid.”
"If we can do that, then we will truly be a strong team."
Zhu Kai looked serious.
Among the players of the Thorn Birds, Li Luo and Liu Qingsong looked up at the sky, Brother Shengqiang was fiddling with his mobile phone, Xiao Dongbei looked confused, and only Xiangguo and Xiye were listening with interest.
Li Luo knew Zhu Kai too well, and Liu Qingsong was not the kind of person who liked to drink chicken soup. As for Brother Shengqiang... Needless to say, he knew Zhu Kai better than Li Luo.
After Zhu Kai finished speaking, he felt helpless.
He suddenly felt that as a head coach, he seemed to have no status compared to the life coach he was during EDG.
In other teams, it is actually not a good thing if the relationship between the coach and the players is too good.
However, there is no need to worry about this in Thorn Bird Zhu Kai. It is true that the players under him do not have any particularly outrageous thorns. Even if they do, Li Luo can control them.
As long as Li Luo is not a thorn in the side, the team can grow harmoniously.
Soon, ten people from both sides came to the fighting table to prepare for the last game of the opening game.
In front of the commentary table.
"The first BO3 game was fully booked. I believe everyone felt that this opening game was worth the price of admission."
The doll smiled and said.
The audience at the scene also cheered twice.
"Anyway, the Thorn Birds showed their strong ability to handle advantageous rounds in the second game."
Miller said slowly: "Actually, when we look at the many dark horse teams in the LPL since its establishment, many teams can gain certain advantages in the early stage, but the biggest problem of these teams is that after they get the advantage, they have nothing to do.
Convert it into victory."
"That's right."
Wawa nodded slightly: "Especially what the Thorn Birds faced was the IG team. In my opinion, the IG team is the team that is least afraid of disadvantages among all the teams in the LPL. However, the last Thorn Birds failed to give IG a single point.
opportunity, and the later operations and decision-making are quite a bit like a strong team."
"So this third round should be very good to watch. Both teams have a strong desire to win. I believe both teams are eager for victory in this opening battle! Okay, the BP between the two sides has begun!
The blue side IG team, the red side Thorn Birds team!”
The bp between the two sides quickly kicked off.
Among the first three BP moves of the IG team, there were no problems with the original two hands.
Policewoman, Lucian, this is the hero that IG has targeted in the previous two games.
However, in the third ban position, the IG team pressed Ezreal.
The scene was filled with boos.
In the commentary box, Wawa was happy: "Sure enough, I still need to target this Ezreal hand. The dominance shown by Brother Luo in the last hand was too strong. The most important thing is that Ezreal is actually a very powerful hero.
If you need feel, Brother Luo's Ezreal feels very hot right now, so it makes sense to press it down."
Miller followed up and said: "The first three bans on the Thorn Birds have not changed. The three heroes are still Sword Demon, Syndra, and Galio. This standard three-piece set seems to have been replaced by Thorns.
The bird is too tight, so if this is the case, how should I choose the first floor for the IG team? I have to make a careful decision."
On the IG battle table.
"Let's go with the bull head. If we don't use the bull head and they just use Kalista with the bull head, it will be difficult for us to play."
Jackylove suggested.
"No problem, just the cow head."
Mafa nodded and finalized.
When they chose to kill Ezreal, they were already prepared to grab and ban on the first floor.
Although this passive feeling is uncomfortable, Niutou is an excellent choice for the lineup they plan to choose for this game.
After IG locked the Bull Head on the first floor, the Thorn Birds were unambiguous. The Sword Girl on the first floor and Olaf on the second floor directly locked down.
"Olav... In this game, the Thorn Birds are planning to give priority to the jungle. No matter which way the hero Sword Girl goes, as long as he cooperates with Olaf in a 2v2 fight, it is basically not very good.
You might lose."
Miller's assessment is quite fair.
Although Olaf lacks control ability in the jungle position, the clinging nature of his Q skill can give heroes in other lanes greater output space.
After all, Olaf's Q doesn't just stick to the opponent for a moment. As long as it is operated properly, the ax can always stick to the opponent.
As for the IG team, after seeing the first two hero choices of the Thorn Birds, they immediately understood that the Thorn Birds would definitely regard this Sword Girl as a swing position.
Although Xiye lost the first sword girl, Xiye's performance actually didn't have too many flaws.
It's absolutely possible to take it out and prove yourself one more time.
"Let's just get Ryze."
Rookie said meaningfully.
Since thorn birds like to swing, they can swing too.
It's just that the IG team's other hero selection besides Ryze seems to be more competitive.
Under the spotlight, the IG team locked up Ryze on the second floor and immediately locked Draven on the third floor!
"Oh! Draven! Ah Shui's confident choice is out!"
Amid the cheers at the scene, Miller couldn't help but admire: "Dlevin paired with the Bullhead. IG's bottom lane duo is very good. As we all know, the Bullhead is very restrained by Draven. This way, we can steal the place."
The effect of the ban is undoubtedly beyond expectations. On the one hand, it prevents the Thorn Birds from getting the combination of Kalista and Tau Tau, and on the other hand, it also gives Draven a good support, which is very nice."
"In that case, should we finalize the ad for the third floor of Thorn Birds... oh, this hero..."
When a hero was revealed on the third floor of Thorn Birds, the uproar and cheers that erupted were several times higher than those of Jackeylove.
Just because the name of this hero is... the fortune teller.
"Jhin...The Thorn Birds chose Jhin for the third floor!? Well, to be honest, I'm full of expectations for this game."
Miller applauded subconsciously.
Wawa also nodded with emotion on his face: "To be honest, if it were another ADC who faced Draven and took out the Destiny Master, I might have thought that he was seeking stability and resisting pressure.
, but Brother Luo’s fortune teller... said it in a completely different way.”
And the moment the fortune teller was finalized on the third floor of Thorn Birds, the players in the Tieba forum also began to discuss it heatedly.
"Brother Luo is a scumbag, the identification is complete."
"Good guy, the two-time world champion won't give me a champion skin, and now I want to use someone else, so I just call him Sweetie? Haha, man!"
"Ah Jin, please be patient. You can't be obedient when such a man orders you. You'll lose to him!"
"The 100% winning rate, I'm afraid I'm not going to break the power."
"How can you say that? If you think about it from another angle, maybe when Brother Luo wins the world championship next time, he will give Jhin the spot for the championship skin?"
…
Under such funny discussions from netizens, the second round of BP between the two parties is also proceeding rapidly.
The Thorn Birds eliminated Jace and Vampire in the second round.
The IG team held down Pike and added a female tank.
IG is very clear that the midfielder they want to finalize in this game is not flexible enough.
In this case, once Pike wanders around, it will cause great trouble for their sideline.
Although the auxiliary hero Niutou also has very strong roaming ability, from a player's perspective, Baolan's roaming ability is obviously weaker than Liu Qingsong.
What's more, the hero, Destiny Master, has a strong ability to withstand pressure and clear lines. Once the troops enter the tower, Destiny Master only needs to leave two traps, and with a Q, he can basically clear out most of the troop lines.
.
As for the female tank, it was purely because Jackylove was worried that Thorn Birds would train him.
Olaf is immune to control after using his ultimate move, so he can ignore the bull head.
Therefore, as long as a woman can control him, he will be in danger.
It is indeed more reasonable to ban people like this.
The Thorn Birds did not target King Ning because King Ning's hero pool was very deep.
Therefore, even Zach was released by them.
But this time, Thorn Bird was sure that King Ning would not choose Zach.
…
"The fourth floor of Thorn Bird... directly locked the Titan! Is the combination of Titan and Fortune Teller? In this case, I plan to play lock."
Looking at the choice of the Thorn Birds on the fourth floor, the baby understood.
On the other side, Jackylove's eyes were also a little uncertain.
The Titan's headlock is undoubtedly a great restraint for him.
The hero Draven needs to accumulate axes, so even if he knows that Titan has the ultimate move, he still has to step forward to attack the A soldier, and as long as he steps forward, he will be given the opportunity to lock the head with Titan's ultimate move.
But Jackeylove obviously also knows that these are the ban positions, and he can't possibly ban all the heroes who restrain him.
In addition to the lock, Jackeylove is actually a little worried.
That's the Titan's hook.
People outside are teasing him for taking over Q Dirty Dancing.
Although he doesn't care on the surface, JackeyLove actually has a shadow on this in his heart.
The larger the area of this shadow, the easier it is to be hooked when encountering an actual emergency.
It's just...very poisonous.
"Play Zack?"
Mafa looked at King Ning.
"Stop it. If I play Zach, he will chop him up in the jungle."
Prince Ning's head shook like a rattle.
He's not a tough player.
If it were Xiang Guo, he might consider it from the perspective of the team and feel that using Zac would be easier for his teammates to gain an advantage, so he would turn into a gambling monster and bet that his jungle area would not explode.
But Prince Ning is not.
He doesn't like to bet on small-probability events at the beginning.
Mafa obviously also knew that it would be really difficult for Prince Ning to choose Zach, so he finally decided on a wine barrel for Prince Ning.
Although it is not good to beat Olaf with a wine barrel, once Olaf rushes in during a team battle, the barrel can blow up other people. This can easily cause Olaf to lose touch with his teammates and lose himself.
In addition to a hand of wine barrels, the fifth floor of the IG team locked a hand of crocodiles.
Seeing the crocodile, Li Luo raised his eyebrows slightly: "They must have had plans to sway when they chose this thing, and they must have guessed the possibility of you choosing Kassadin."
Xiye looked at the screen and frowned in silence.
Since there is no poke lineup, this Thorn Bird must have a big C.
Kassadin is a very good choice.
But now IG seems to have predicted their choice and picked up a crocodile in advance that can swing up and down.
If it were another team, this Ryze would probably go in the middle.
But this is IG.
A team that is best at hitting mid-range swings, and both of them have unfathomable hero pools.
"If you don't want to choose Kassadin, you can also choose someone like Victor as a late-stage core."
Li Luo added another sentence and then said nothing more.
The decision-making power rests with Xiye alone.
Time passes by second by second.
When there were about ten seconds left before the finalized time, Xiye took a deep breath and said seriously: "Get me Kassadin, even if the crocodile hits the middle, I can withstand the pressure."
"OK."
Li Luo responded and looked at Liu Qingsong.
Liu Qingsong, who was beside him, directly selected Kassadin on the fifth floor!
At the moment when the hero Kassadin was finalized, Xiye felt inexplicably relaxed.
That kind of relaxation is the feeling after forgetting everything else and still firmly choosing the hero of your own faith.
On the third day after being infected, my fever reached 39.5 last night. When I woke up today, the fever went down a bit, but it started up again in less than an hour. My whole body ached, and I fell asleep again until the afternoon. I asked a question of 36.6. I’m very happy. I’m going to write it today.
However, after I finished preparing, I measured the temperature and it was 38 degrees again. I started to sleep again. I slept until 37.8 at nine o'clock. My brain was clear, but my body didn't hurt anymore. I started coughing. I insisted on writing it down to avoid asking for leave for two consecutive days.
, in short, I still have to protect myself as much as possible if I don’t have a sheep. The taste is really unpleasant. I hope it won’t burn again tomorrow.
