The ambitions of the Thorn Birds team were undoubtedly revealed in the post-match interview with the RNG team.
Although this is only the first playoff BO5 played by the Thorn Birds, this momentum has already made the top teams that will compete with them next start to feel fearful.
"Brothers, I'm starting to panic. How can I say, who can come and save me?"
On the dining table at the TOP base, 369 took a big mouthful of rice and spoke vaguely.
"You are turning stress into appetite, be careful and you will die of obesity."
TOP's jungler joked: "If you learn from me, I won't have any pressure playing Xiang Guo."
"Bro, at best, you're just a little bit fat. You can't be fat to death. Just kidding, I'm very self-disciplined, okay?"
369 Gudong Gudong took a sip of Coke, then burped happily, and added: "You really don't have any pressure, just play the incense pot, you will gain blood if you win, and you will not lose if you lose."
"Isn't it the same for you to fight Brother Holy Spear?"
TOP's mid laner said cheerfully with his left hand.
"What did you say?"
369 didn’t hear clearly.
The bottom lane of the TOP team is composed of two Koreans.
The two of them rarely interrupted the conversation.
After Loken finished eating, he said hello to everyone and went back to the training room to train.
Auxiliary ben follows closely behind.
As a former supporter of Team WE, ben has quite a lot of experience in the field.
Facing the upcoming BO5, TOP's bottom lane duo looks very serious.
"I say, it is good for you to put some pressure on yourself, but there is no need to be too pessimistic. It is no secret that RNG has a single tactical system. The reason why they are ranked at the top and have good strength is because they put themselves
I played the familiar set to an excellent level.”
Bai Yueya took the small notebook and flipped through it and comforted the team members: "The Thorn Birds' advantage when facing RNG is too obvious, that is, the opponent's hero pool is ahead. At this point, RNG can't catch it. It can only rely on one
Uzi and the others can only go as far as this."
After saying that, Bai Yueya raised his head and glanced at his left hand: "But we are different. The hero pool is also our advantage. You can play Zhuoding, a hero with a strong version. We can grab it on the blue side like Silas."
, so the pressure on bp will not be very great.”
"What you have to do is to put down all the psychological baggage. Just like what 369 said before, show your youthful characteristics, dare to fight and fight hard to show your momentum. Loken in the bottom lane, even if they can't win in the lane, there will be no problem. Do you understand?
?”
"I know, Brother Sheng."
"I know, I know, just stop reading it."
Seeing the slightly casual attitude of the three young people, Bai Yueya was a little helpless. In the end, he could only look at the jungler Xiong Xiong: "Your rhythm is the most critical in this game. Remember to use gentleness when playing incense pot.
Don't go head-to-head with him, you have a unique skill as a jungler, so I'm actually not worried about that."
"Well, just leave it to me."
Xiongxiong nodded.
Xiong Xiong has never smiled since he was caught by the director with a bright smile on the field.
His heart was hurt.
If you give him a fine just for smiling, where can you go to reason with him?
…
The situation in Group B is quite optimistic.
Group A is pretty much the same.
Under the leadership of coach Hongmi, JD.com’s performance in BO5 is obviously much better than BO3.
Even Li Luo was amazed by JD.com's rigor in BP in BO5.
In the game against FPX, JD.com even killed five heroes in two consecutive games.
Let the rest of FPX get what they want, but don't let doinb play comfortably.
This approach seems very abstract.
However, the effect is very good.
Facing FPX, which defeated EDG, JD.com successfully defeated them with a score of 3 to 1 and entered the finals first!
This means that whoever wins the match between Thorn Birds and Top will join JD.com in the finals.
With the expectations of countless viewers, the showdown between Thorn Birds and TOP also kicked off.
Before the game, the official also specially held a program for the official commentators and former professional players to participate, and coupled with the interaction with the audience, they used the method of guessing the hero selection by giving four options for the audience to guess, and then in the
Those who guess correctly will draw lucky viewers and receive official figures and some small gifts.
However, when the game started, the Thorn Birds team's tactics were completely different from all the commentators and former professional players.
In the first game, the TOP team on the blue side planned to give the Thorn Birds a showdown.
However, after they knocked down Kassadin, the Thorn Birds were not convinced at all and directly knocked out Silas.
For the left hand, there is no need to worry about the hero pool.
The one-hand trick enchantress was selected directly, and the left-handed man obviously used his youthful advantage to teach the veteran Xiye a lesson.
However, the Thorn Birds' move to instantly select the fortune teller really caught TOP off guard.
Of course they know that when Xiye chooses a big C like Kassadin, Thorn Bird will choose Destiny Master in the bottom lane to help Xiye control the battlefield.
But this Kassadin is no longer available, so why did the Thorn Birds choose it so early?
According to White Crescent's idea, White Crescent wants Loken to choose a life master in the bottom lane to resist pressure. TOP's team configuration seems to have many newcomers, but in fact the tactical structure is the most benign among all LPL teams this season.
.
He is young in the upper and midfield and is stable in the bottom lane.
The mid laner has the ability to be a core carry, and 369 can occasionally perform very well when getting warrior heroes.
Loken's functional ad plays great.
This is the main reason why TOP has reached this position as a dark horse.
But the Thorn Birds told them that even if there was no Kassadin, they would still grab functional ADs. What did you mean?
This doubt lasted until the Thorn Bird showed off the plane on the fifth floor.
Airplane at night.
As soon as this lineup was unveiled, the Redmi coach who had been waiting for the finals looked serious.
The hero Airplane is very popular in many versions.
Including the Spring Split, Airplane's appearances so far this spring rank seventh among all mid lane heroes.
This location is not particularly popular, but it is by no means unpopular.
It can only be said that it is specially selected by the special team.
However, the Thorn Birds rarely use planes to play the mid lane.
The development cycle required for this hero is very long, and it is difficult for non-strong teams to control it.
The Thorn Birds feel that their team has not been well-integrated enough in the past, so they have not chosen it. Now that they feel the time is ripe, they have started to choose it?
It’s different from the one used when playing RNG.
The main focus of the Thorn Birds in this game is operational development.
And the reason why they do this is actually very simple.
Since the Thorn Birds want to enter the finals, they will naturally study the opponents in the finals in advance.
JD.com has the slowest pace among all teams in the spring split, and is also the most LCK-like.
Their overall style stands out in two words.
"operations."
Is Jingdong good at operating Thorn Bird?
Li Luo actually had no idea about this.
Since there is no bottom, we should test JD.com and put pressure on Hongmi.
How to put pressure on Redmi has become the first thing that the Thorn Birds team needs to implement in addition to the goal of defeating the top team in this game!
operations!
Thorn Bird needs to show a strong enough operation to make Hongmi afraid of it.
It may sound ridiculous, but normally the best tactic in the professional League of Legends arena is to hide and then catch your opponent off guard.
But when facing Hongmi, Li Luo put forward a different view.
Hongmi is very good at studying the team.
Some of the team's usual performances, even if they are hidden, can be easily discovered in his eyes.
Instead of doing this, it's better to show your cards right.
Hongmi likes to absorb the opponent's characteristics and study them, so Li Luo must let him absorb enough.
The team must constantly show new things for Hongmi to study.
A person's energy is limited.
The energy of a coaching staff is also limited.
How many messages can Redmi’s CPU handle?
How many problems can he solve?
If he can't solve all the problems, then he himself will be in chaos.
This is the purpose of Li Luo's tactics.
In the first game, Xiye's aircraft was indeed suppressed a lot when facing the left-handed Enchantress in the early stage.
However, this situation improved significantly after Xiye's first piece of equipment was directly supplemented with the Little Demon Drinking Knife.
Facing the plane that went out to Dolan Shield and made a small demon-drinking knife first, Enchantress had no choice at all.
And as long as the left hand is turned over to consume, if the attack is too fierce, the incense pot will take this opportunity to come and arrest the person.
In the bottom lane, Loken was forced to choose Varus, who also had certain functionality, after Li failed to choose the Destiny Master.
Going around and around, this TOP can only choose the late-stage big core for 369 on the top lane. However, the holy gun brother directly took Jace, which mainly focused on early suppression.
Although top is a dark horse, it is a new team after all.
When you choose tactics that you are not familiar with, you will naturally not be able to use your full strength when facing targeted tactics like the Thorn Birds.
Top, who was restrained in every aspect, was finally dragged by the Thorn Birds until 30 minutes later.
With the completion of the endless aircraft, this aircraft, which took more than 30 minutes to develop and had three phases, artillery, endless, small drinking magic knife, and magic shoes, completely took over the game.
Because the vampires of 369 were suppressed too much in the early stage and were targeted by the incense pot, their development was relatively average. Even though Xiong Xiong went to the top lane many times to help, in terms of hero configuration, the 2v2 combat effectiveness is that the Thorn Birds side is stronger.
Some.
Jace is paired with the Blind Sin, and against the combination of the Vampire and the Prince, after all, the Thorn Birds have a higher fault tolerance rate and are stronger.
The damage done by the vampire in the early stage is really not enough.
In the middle and late stage of the poke style, Varus is paired with the Trickery Enchantress. There is no way these two heroes can take over the game.
In the end, top could only swallow the defeat of the first game.
In the second and third game after that, the Thorn Birds seemed to be addicted to airplanes.
As long as you have it, take it.
And as long as the Thorn Birds are interested in airplanes, they will definitely ban Silas.
Silas, the hero of the Tianke Plane, is no secret in the LPL region.
Li Luo just let himself go today.
When he could get the Divination Master, he took the Divination Master. After Top snatched the Divination Master first, Li Luo chose Kalista without saying a word to force the lane and start a team.
The most terrifying thing is that Liu Qingsong is also developing new things.
In the third game, the TOP team on the blue side still maintained the same approach as when they lost in the first game, except that they first grabbed the fortune teller on the first floor, and at the same time, they matched the fortune teller with a very flexible and also
A very unpopular hero, Old Man Time.
This is undoubtedly a trump card prepared by Top, for one word, hook.
But the scarecrow developed by Liu Qingsong completely destroyed the system of these two people.
The combination of Kalista and Scarecrow. After the Scarecrow reaches level 6, whether it is Li Luo's Kalista who takes the lead or Liu Qingsong's Scarecrow who takes the lead, as long as Old Man Time is controlled with a jump, Old Man Time will not be able to use his ultimate move at all.
.
The advantage of the hero Destiny Master is that when his teammates are rushing in front, he can disgust people from behind and help his teammates get kills through fatal brilliance or ultimate moves.
However, if teammates die too quickly, the role of the fortune teller will be greatly reduced.
And in the end of this game, top can only regret it.
But it is worth mentioning that the game time of the top three games with the Thorn Birds was 35 minutes and 22 seconds, 31 minutes and 15 seconds, and the final game of 30 minutes and 06 seconds.
Although the final outcome has not changed, and the Thorn Birds still won the game strongly with a score of 3-0, it is undeniable that in the eyes of the audience, Top's performance is indeed much better than RNG's performance in terms of perception.
too much.
At least they can create a 50-50 situation with the Thorn Birds in the early stage.
However, after entering the operation stage in the mid-term, it began to be limited by the lineup or the team's ability to cooperate, and the economy was gradually stretched by the Thorn Birds.
However, the top players in the middle were unanimously recognized by the audience for their daring and courageous highlight operations.
In fact, in the eyes of most fans of the team, failure is not unacceptable.
As long as the loss is not too ugly and you can show your own style and momentum, you will be remembered even if you lose.
Even Yue Lun was one step behind when facing Faker. If Yue Lun's performance seemed to have no chance of killing Faker, would he be remembered to this day?
Obviously not.
After three games, everyone at Top couldn't come to their senses in the battle seats for a long time.
Especially the three people in the upper, middle and wild areas sat in silence looking at the screen for a long time.
They were beaten to the point where they were a bit doubtful about life.
I just... felt like I had tried my best and was very tired from playing.
But losing is inexplicable.
And in the process, they did not enjoy the joy of the game.
But I couldn’t tell what the specific problem was for a while.
…
"It's too harsh, Su Hanwei."
Xiangguo said cheerfully: "Have you enjoyed these three masturbations?"
"What you said sounds a bit strange and doesn't sit well with you."
Xiye was a little speechless.
Xiao Dongbei performed well in the last BO5 game. At that time, some people on the forum thought that Xiao Dongbei could continue to start.
However, Xiye won two MVPs in three games today, which is enough to establish his starting position.
Of course, it is undeniable that this is the result of the team's tactical tilt.
"Everyone played very well in this BO5. Although we changed a lot of heroes, in fact, we only used one tactical system in the three BO5 games."
Li Luo said with a smile: "Coach Hongmi has a headache."
