Consecutive losses in performance have made the teams in the LMS region increasingly in a state of decline.
The Flash Wolves team that used to be the leader in the LMS division is still the leader now, but in the eyes of those with a discerning eye, the strength of the Flash Wolves must have declined significantly compared to before.
We are still the leader just because the general environment is too bad. If there are too many fried fish, it is inevitable that our level will drop.
Since the three top generals Kasa, Maple, and Snake all left the Flash Wolves, the Flash Wolves unsurprisingly chose to recruit players.
They don't want to lose their top spot in the division.
Even though there has been news from Riot that the LMS division is about to be delisted.
This also allows Flash Wolves to still put a lot of effort into investing in the team, including the coaching staff, which Flash Wolves have also built with great care.
This can also be seen from their performance in the finals.
Faced with such a team whose paper strength seemed to have seriously declined, the Thorn Birds did not choose to take it lightly.
After all, Flash Wolves have an ancestral attribute. Judging from the previous games of this MSI, this attribute is still somewhat reserved.
That's the neuroknife.
If they perform well, they still seem to be able to score a point in the hands of strong teams.
But despite their poor performance, they were comparable to a team in the minor leagues.
Moreover, the Thorn Birds and Flash Wolves have different mentality when facing this MSI.
The Thorn Birds came here to win the championship.
The purpose of the Flash Wolves is to capture the attention of the world's audience. In Li Luo's judgment, there is a high probability that this Flash Wolves will go all out in the first game of the group stage just like in previous world events.
The kind that steals the show in a round, regardless of trump cards.
Then in the second round, they suffered a losing streak and were eliminated honorably.
This is the psychedelic life of the Flash Wolf team.
After the TL team easily crushed the PVB team in the Vietnam Division 1-0, the game between the Flash Wolves and the Thorn Birds officially kicked off.
The Flash Wolves team, which had priority in choosing sides, chose the blue side without hesitation.
The ones responsible for commentating on this game today are the combination of Guan Zeyuan and Wang Jiji.
Guan Zeyuan showed very strong professional abilities as soon as he came up.
"The FW team... to be honest, if their players are taken individually, each one actually has some background and story."
Guan Zeyuan said slowly: "There is no need to talk about Betty. Currently, he is the oldest person in FW. Even Hanabi, the top laner, is more than a year behind him in qualifications. Betty was in the World Championship in 2016.
Shown on the show.”
"Yes."
Wang remembered nodding slightly at the side: "Betty was still a young player back then, but now he has taken charge of his own role in the Flash Wolves. However, Snake's departure has had some impact on the Flash Wolves' bottom lane coordination."
"That's inevitable."
Guan Zeyuan nodded slightly: "Assistant shiauC... we all call him Little C. He has taken over the banner of Snake. You want to say that his performance is not good... In fact, he is not, but after all, he is just a
There are two young players who are slightly less experienced in terms of experience. In today’s game they will face the bottom lane of Luo Ge and Liu Qingsong, which is undoubtedly a severe test for them.”
"Jungle bugi is one of the first Korean players to come to the LMS region. I actually pay relatively little attention to him. I only know that he was in M17 before, but Rether in the mid lane has something to say. This man comes from a special place.
Griffin... you all know Griffin, now the LCK is definitely a bright new star, but the arrival of Chaowei has indeed made rether eclipse in Griffin's team."
"But it is undeniable that he has no problem with his personal ability after having played in such high-intensity competition in the LCK. At least he can make all the difference in the LMS division."
"I know the top laner Hanabi relatively well. In my opinion, this player is an outstanding player who can compete with MMD. Anyway, I am looking forward to their performance today!"
In the analysis room between the two commentators, the BP between the two sides has already begun.
"The BP here has started! The blue side Flash Wolf, the red side Thorn Birds! The top three heroes on the Flash Wolf side... oh, Jhin, EZ, Nightmare? This is a bit like JD.com's strategy for the Thorn Birds in the finals
bp, it’s just that JD.com didn’t seem to be planning to target Luo Ge’s Ezreal at the time, so what was Flash Wolf’s consideration?”
While Guan Zeyuan was talking, all three sets of Thorn Birds' bans had been released.
Excavator, Kenan.
One of these two is a powerful jungle hero who can be used for grabbing, and is also one of the heroes that bugi players are very good at. Hanabi can almost be said to be Kennen's jinchūriki. He controls team battles very well.
In addition, Kennen's laning ability is not weak, so it is understandable to press him down.
At the same time, the Thorn Birds team was at the battle table.
"Silas is still outside, I feel like they might rob him."
Xiangguo said thoughtfully.
"We don't rule out this possibility, but Flash Wolves' heroes are very mixed, and it's hard to tell what lineup they want just from the ban positions."
Li Luo pondered for two seconds and then said: "Press down the prince. After all, we have a relatively mature system to deal with Silas. If they want to sway Silas to the top lane, Xuan Jun'er, you know
."
"Okay, then press the prince. The red side's BP will inevitably be a little passive."
Zhu Kai nodded and accepted Li Luo's suggestion, then complained.
When facing an opponent with whom they are not very familiar, the red team's BP is destined to be passive.
They need to rely on the heroes selected by the blue side on the first floor to try to adjust the lineup.
This basically means that if the red side has no special system in mind for the first two moves, it will have to defend.
Thorn Bird has many characteristic systems.
But this is only the first game of the group stage. Since the opponent is Flash Wolves, the Thorn Birds are willing to see how far the Flash Wolves can be.
What the Thorn Birds didn't expect was that the Flash Wolf directly selected Silas on the first floor.
"After grabbing Silas, Flash Wolves were very confident... The Thorn Birds responded immediately, and they directly chose the combination of Ryze and Xin Zhao!"
Guan Zeyuan looked at the candidates who were quickly finalized on the first and second floors of the Thorn Birds, and said thoughtfully: "The Thorn Birds feel that they have made two preparations. On the one hand, the hero Ryze is faster than the hero in pushing lanes.
Silas is faster and can control the lane more easily."
"Although Ryze would be more dangerous if Sylas gets close to him, Ryze's stable control is destined to prevent Sylas from trying this, because once there is Xin Zhao crouching behind Ryze, Sylas will hand over
E went up there purely as a gift."
"As for the preparations... I think the Thorn Birds are cheating."
After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Wang remembered that he was a little confused at first: "Liar?"
However, when he blurted out subconsciously, he seemed to realize something, and it became clear instantly: "You mean... Wheel Mom?"
When Holy Spear Brother's Karma appeared on the field and single-handedly killed The shy, the fortress system of Thorn Birds' double mother and Ryze's ultimate move was naturally formed.
Guan Zeyuan's analysis was quite thorough.
Given the current situation, the Thorn Birds chose the most prudent method, first taking down Ryze, a hero of the all-purpose system who can hit and hit the road.
Ryze paired with Xin Zhao is definitely not weak in terms of confrontation strength, and Ryze's particularity on the Thorn Birds side will definitely make Flash Wolves a little troublesome.
This is exactly the case.
Seeing that the heroes on the first and second floors of the Thorn Birds were quickly decided, the battle table on the Flash Wolf side was a little noisy for a while.
"It's so far north. Why do they still study us? It's too much."
"Maybe they think we are a little tricky, but it doesn't matter, we also have backup plans."
From time to time, there will be a few strange Korean words mixed in the unique crooked accent.
Every time Bugi finished talking to Rether, his eyes would look a little gloomy.
He could feel that he had been here for so long that even when he spoke Korean, he would have some inexplicable accent.
Since the Thorn Birds are so full of tricks, the Lightning Wolf naturally chooses to show its fangs as soon as possible.
Wei, Akali.
Once these two heroes were chosen, the expressions of everyone on the Thorn Birds team became a little weird.
what?
It's been stolen, right?
In the last round of the LPL Spring Split finals, the Thorn Birds chose Wei and Akali to form a double-cutting system.
The purpose is to target the opponent's core C position and do everything possible.
The tactics that the Thorn Birds came up with themselves are now being used by their opponents to use against themselves?
But Li Luo had to praise him at this time. Wanwan's coaching staff really has something.
Although there are not many, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can show.
Li Luo's habits have been mentioned before.
As for the tactics of the Thorn Birds, Li Luo usually has a way to deal with them.
But the premise is that the core system of the Thorn Birds team has not been revealed before the opponent takes it out.
Now that the first two heroes of the Thorn Birds have been finalized, the emergence of Ryze and Xin Zhao is no longer suitable to deal with the system of Wei Qiangsuo and Akali entering the field.
Li Luo didn't know whether Lightning Wolf was fooled or had guessed this.
If this is what he guessed, then Li Luo feels that he needs to re-evaluate the Flash Wolves team.
"What should I use to fight this?"
Brother Holy Spear raised his eyebrows. Neither side has released the bottom lane duo yet, but the Flash Wolves have already released their top, middle and jungle duo.
In this case, it is necessary to mention the fifth-floor counter slot that Thorn Birds originally reserved for Brother Holy Gun.
There are many heroes that the bottom lane duo can get.
But there are not many heroes who can suppress Akali in the top lane or limit Akali in the later stage.
If you don’t get it in advance, the ban will be gone in the second round.
Unknowingly, Li Luo discovered that his BP had really suffered a small loss.
If the opponent plays the middle field, their side will play the middle field.
And in the second round of BP, the only position they could give to ban was the bottom lane.
So here’s the question, Thorn Birds...how many times have you had to target the opponent’s bottom lane?
"I have a hero who can cheat the ban."
A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Li Luo's mouth.
Brother Shengqiang suddenly became interested.
However, after finding out who the hero was from Li Luo's mouth, Brother Shengqiang had a bitter look on his face.
He is not someone who likes to play this type of hero.
Although it can be played.
But this kind of hero can’t play well!
Thorn Bird's third floor options are pretty average.
This is a first-hand burpee.
But it was this hand of Poppy that caused the corners of the mouths of Flash Wolf and others to twitch at the same time.
The function of Poppy is very simple.
That is to counter Akali's entry.
Indeed, even if Poppy has W's determined style, it is impossible to block the entry of Akali or Silas every time.
But they have no room for error.
As long as they block it once, the knockback caused by the rebound of Determined Style will instantly focus the fire on the hero they cut into.
This is very embarrassing.
"It doesn't matter, don't forget our trump card."
Betty reminded me.
"That's right, we have a trump card."
Assistant Little C also said.
The second round of bp is proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, what shocked countless viewers was that in the second round, both sides actually banned four ads!
On the Flash Wolf side, they killed the system hero Wheel Mom and Xayah.
Kalma is still outside at the moment.
It is also possible for Thorn Birds to use Wheel Mom and Kalma to go down the lane.
This is not allowed by Flash Wolf.
So dismantle the wheel mama.
As for Xia Luo, it was the final decision made by Flash Wolves to dismantle the pair of heroes who had the LPL team championship skins after careful consideration in order to prevent the Thorn Birds from directly taking over.
The ban on the Thorn Birds team is simple and straightforward.
Kasha.
Bounty Hunter.
Naturally, Kai'Sa was preparing to deal with Wei's follow-up from the snake oil AD when she locked her head.
The bounty hunter is also a hero that has recently emerged in the version, and is more suitable for Betty's play style.
If all members of the Flash Wolves join in, it is not impossible for Betty to choose this hero, which is poorly developed and uses amplified moves in team battles to lower the health of everyone in the Thorn Birds.
The Thorn Bird does not have a strong cutting ability. Although Xin Zhao's ultimate circle circle is a good countermeasure for bounty hunters, the Thorn Bird's formation is destined to be impossible to hold together, otherwise it will be reduced.
Sylas and Akali's entry difficulty.
Therefore, Xin Zhao's weapon is meant to be used to break in and restrict, not to protect the team.
Unnecessary troubles still need to be eliminated.
After making this ban, the Thorn Birds team showed Varus on the fourth floor.
As soon as Varus lit up, the fifth floor of Thorn Bird was actually ready to be revealed.
This can be said to be a kind of BP of Mingpai.
But Flash Wolf is not so comfortable.
If the Thorn Birds choose to draft Tahm Kench on the fourth floor and leave Varus on the fifth floor, then they can directly grab Varus and use the poke gangster style. This way, they can have early laning strength and mid- to late-game strength.
It can assist the team's entering heroes to produce good output.
But the Thorn Bird is good, the order is too delicate.
The purpose of Flash Wolf's attack is already very clear, which is to fight to the end.
With three rush heroes, what would happen if they snatched away Tahm Kench? Instead, they chose a core AD position who can C for Betty and let him go to the laning jail in the early stage?
Flash Wolf was speechless.
They didn't pick Tahm Kench, which meant they released Verustam's combination to the Thorn Birds.
This is not what they want to see.
However, in such a turbulent game, the Flash Wolf has no way out.
Fourth floor, Galio.
Bomber on the fifth floor!
The fangs of the Lightning Wolf were completely exposed.
Lock head, plus fixed-point detonation, plus cutting.
Fortunately, they are in the LMS region.
In the LMS region, no one will be surprised by the selection of any lineup.
I am so tired today. The good news is that I passed the second subject. The bad news is that I have been waiting for too long. One car broke down today, so I can only take the test with one car. There was a power outage for more than an hour. I waited from morning to afternoon.
I didn't start taking the exam until I had low blood sugar. I was exhausted. I'll start taking extra exams tomorrow.
