July 5th was the second day of the intercontinental competition. Khan walked out of the bedroom with dark circles under his eyes. He had not rested well last night.
Khan's mood at this time was quite complicated.
On the one hand, he hopes that KZ can win a point for LCK today, but on the other hand, deep down in his heart, he doesn’t really want to see KZ win. If KZ wins, this cancer will be settled.
"Dong He, what are you thinking about? We are going to play MAD today, so cheer up."
Needless to say, as the "richest man in Vietnam", sof's hero pool is as rich as his money.
Being able to play wild core heroes and rhythm heroes is so special in the LPL.
Every player has his own hero that is criticized by players, the kind of hero that makes him feel half defeated when he takes it out.
But sof is different. Almost every one of his hero pools has performed brilliantly on the field. Of course, there are also endless performances. However, at least it can stop players from saying that he "can't play" a certain hero.
.
Although doinb mainly focuses on rhythm support, his core is also remarkable.
Hope in the AD position dares to fight hard in most cases. This is a good quality in the growth process of an A. Maybe sometimes he will give it away, but such players can often create miracles in adversity.
It is meaningless for others to give FPX advice. The key lies in how they play today.
Thorn Bird is the first battle today.
Therefore, Li Luo naturally focused most of his energy on his own team.
While eating, Li Luo was recalling the information about the KZ team in his mind.
S9's KZ does not occupy a large proportion in Li Luo's memory before his rebirth.
After all, they failed to make it to the World Championship, so judging from their performance throughout the year, they are not a particularly strong team. However, the team's status in the league fluctuated quite a lot within a year.
Raal on the road can be meaty and C.
Although the old problem of jungler uzz is still there, he has obviously improved compared to when he was in SKT.
Although the mid laner Naehyun is not a particularly famous player in Korea, Li Luo knows a thing or two about this player's style. He is considered a relatively traditional mid laner in Korea. The hero pool is also based on mainstream heroes such as Czar and Airplane.
Lord.
It's not weak, but it's not outstanding either. The only thing worth noting is that this player has a unique skill in ranking, but he hasn't used it much in competitions.
Deft in the bottom lane is already an old acquaintance, and the support player Tusin is an auxiliary player who works at the same time as deft and has very rich experience.
This is the configuration of KZ this year.
In comparison, the players on the Thorn Birds team are undoubtedly a little younger.
But this game does not get better as you get older. The venue was still full today.
Korean fans were obviously quite satisfied with their team's performance yesterday.
Therefore, more people came to the venue today than yesterday, and there were also many fans watching in the open air in the square outside the venue.
When players from both sides appear on the stage one after another, the advantage of playing at home becomes apparent.
Every time a KZ player appeared on the scene, there were screams and cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
As soon as the players from the Thorn Birds team came out, they were greeted with only a little applause, mixed with some boos. However, when Li Luo came out, the boos were gone. Of course, the applause was gone too. The competition venue where this event was held was as quiet as a library for a while.
Li Luo walked to the stage and showed her white teeth, smiled and waved to the audience.
But the oppressive feeling brought by that smile made countless Korean fans frown involuntarily.
They really can't boo.
This man has completely dominated League of Legends in the past two years!
The best way to discredit a top player is to elevate his teammates.
For example, when Faker was in a trough, there were countless comments on the Internet stating that Faker would not be able to win the championship without Bengi. But Li Luo...
But they can't slander him.
This man has changed three sets of teammates in two years, but so far his dominance remains!
The pride of South Korea's dominance in the League of Legends was torn to pieces by the man in front of me.
Even if they can distort the truth, when the mouth is less than half a foot away from their face, they will still choose to restrain themselves a little.
But what is certain is that they are all holding back their ultimate move, waiting for the day when this king will fall!
In the commentary box.
Guan Zeyuan, Wang Duoduo and today's invited commentators...the predecessor of Thorn Birds, Snake team's famous Crystal Brother, are already ready.
The three of them were all dressed in suits. Although Zeyuan and Wang Duoduo looked fine, the one on the left looked a bit funny.
At this time, Brother Jingshu couldn't let go yet, so he was relatively shy when saying hello.
However, Brother Jingshu's ability to adapt to the environment is quite good. This is a talent engraved in the bones. It just needs a little stimulation from external factors to tap it out.
When BP started, Brother Jingshu had already taken a slight step towards the direction of "Gangzi".
"Although, although there is only one Holy Spear brother left in the Thorn Birds team from the Old Snake Team, I have carefully studied the Thorn Birds' games in the past six months. The most outrageous thing about their team is that they can...well... ...How should I put it, even if two threads are running at the same time, it can also be done with one thread to the end. This...can you understand?"
Brother Crystal kept talking.
Wang Duoduo's brain was obviously down.
Guan Zeyuan was better. After a brief daze, Guan Zeyuan asked tentatively: "You mean that before the BP of Thorn Birds is completely finalized, there may be two big Cs, and there may be one big C." C, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
After receiving Brother Jingshu's affirmative speech, Wang Duoduo glanced at Guan Zeyuan with admiration.
The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, can you understand this? He is indeed Brother Guan, no, Guan Shen!
"The first three bans of the Thorn Birds were to kill Neeko first, followed by the Tsar and the Excavator. This version of Neeko can be either top lane or mid lane, and the strength is very high. As for the Tsar and the Digger, it's
The most commonly used hero in the middle and jungle of KZ, this BP is very consistent with the actual situation."
Guan Zeyuan looked at the BP of the Thorn Birds team and analyzed it. Brother Crystal followed closely: "Another essence of the Thorn Birds is that they can let the opponent press the hero of the OP version, and they do not need to bear the burden of this hero.
For the ban position, for example, for the cat, KZ took the initiative to ban the cat, and at the same time, they also banned the wheel mother and Galio."
"There is actually nothing they can do to ban them like this. The Thorn Birds' cats can be paired with Wheel Mom and Ezreal, and the Thorn Birds' Wheel Mom can also be paired with Kalma and Ryze. In order to contain the Thorn Birds'
With two fast-paced systems, they can only BP like this."
Brother Crystal's analysis is concise and to the point.
Without waiting for him to say more, the first floor of the Thorn Birds Team was already locked.
Titan.
"If you choose Titan instantly on the first floor, then KZ will definitely take Silas."
Brother Crystal said firmly from the side.
Even though Brother Jingshu seems to be out of tune on weekdays, his game understanding level is definitely among the top ones.
This has nothing to do with the position of professional players.
In a sense, your understanding of the game is closely related to your own game sense and talent.
Brother Jingshu’s understanding of the game is different from that of doinb.
Brother Crystal will tell you the reason for doing this. When doinb explains, his style is more like a "performance" state.
And what Brother Crystal said
As soon as the sound fell, the KZ team quickly locked onto Silas and Ezreal as if they followed their words.
"Ezreal...there's nothing wrong with this Silas."
Guan Zeyuan was thinking thoughtfully on the sidelines, and Brother Crystal gave an explanation: "It's the jungler. This is the genius of the Thorn Birds team's tactical decision-making. The KZ team does not play Silas in the top lane or the middle lane.
Only jungler uzz can play."
"This is actually very unreasonable, but that's the fact. Their top and middle lines have a strange taste when playing this hero, so this season they basically play uzz with Sylas."
"The hero Titan is very afraid of being stolen by Sylas, so I think the purpose of Thorn Birds grabbing Titan is to let KZ take Sylas. This will greatly limit the performance of KZ mid laner, because KZ's
Mid laners have always tended to choose traditional mages."
"Traditional mage and Sylas are paired with midfielder. I don’t need to say more about the ingredients."
Speaking of this, Brother Crystal laughed twice.
Guan Zeyuan and Wang Duoduo also understood instantly.
Most of the viewers who often watch the game also understood at this time.
It's not that you can't play with double AP in the middle and jungle, but it also depends on what kind of AP it is.
If the jungler chooses a rhythmic ap type hero, it is still very good to supplement the mid laner with a control type mage.
But if you are playing Sylas in the jungle and choose a traditional mage in the mid lane, it will be more difficult to choose.
Most traditional mages lack control.
But it seems a bit of a loss not to choose Sylas for the ultimate move that the Titans sent me.
The BP between the two sides continues.
The second floor of Thorn Bird has locked vampires.
Following closely on the third floor is the blind monk who has confirmed his jungle position.
With a big core in the late game and a rhythmic hero in the early game, the first three hands of Thorn Birds look simple and unpretentious.
On the third floor, the KZ team has finalized a hand of Karma. The purpose is very clear, which is to ensure Ezreal's laning strength in the bottom lane.
"The cat bans Karma, and the Thorn Birds choose to let you use it instead of grabbing Karma. They are afraid of cheating, so there is no problem with this choice. The two sides have entered the second round of BP, and the Thorn Birds have banned Vel'Koz in both hands.
And...Sword Demon, in this case, the KZ team has Lissandra to choose from in the middle, and it would be good to pair it with Sylas, what about it? Do you want to choose it?!"
"They're struggling."
As the director showed the scene to the KZ team's battle table, you could see that their mid laner was communicating with the coach.
"Lissandra is indeed pretty good, but Kingzone doesn't seem to be planning to pick this hero. Are they going to double-poke? Choose Zoe? Then Jace is still out there, do they want to pick it in the top lane?"
Guan Zeyuan was a little surprised when he saw the heroes displayed on the fourth floor of KZ.
Guan Zeyuan, who often commentates on the LCK division, certainly has a certain understanding of KZ’s mid laner.
This old man has won two Zoeys in the competition, and his winning rate in both games is zero.
So if you choose Zoe at this time, you can only provide poke ability.
Or do they think this game will have more small-scale battles in the jungle, so it would be better to choose Zoe to play a big brawl in the jungle?
While Guan Zeyuan was confused, the heroes on the fourth and fifth floors of Thorn Bird appeared one after another.
Merlin Gunner!
And...Kasha!
When these two heroes are finalized, the lineup system of the Thorn Birds team will be released.
Vampire Kai'Sa's dual-core and small artillery can take advantage of the strong early matchup. If all three lines can make achievements, the Thorn Birds will become a three-core lineup in the later stage!
Although the front row is a bit thin, the front row of this version of the mainstream lineup is relatively thin.
With heroes like Neeko occupying a mainstream position in the top lane, life for tanks is becoming increasingly difficult. Therefore, today's top lane has once again seen the dominance of warriors in the top lane at the end of the S8 season.
"Ka'Sa...Luo Ye's Kai'Sa is out again! Although the game hasn't started yet, I can already say that the Thorn Birds
It is absolutely guaranteed in the later stage, even if you leave aside the vampires on the road, it is absolutely guaranteed. The last time I ranked Luo Ye, he was a coward... ahem, I played Draven and was killed by Kai'Sa.
..."
"Fifth floor of the KZ team... choose Camille and play strong. There is nothing wrong with it. The team battle is to lock Kai'Sa. In this case, the lineup of both sides has been finalized!" Brother Crystal became more and more active, and this seemed to have become a reality.
His commentary home.
"The blue side Thorn Birds team, the vampire in the top lane, the jungle blind monk, the cannon in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Kai'Sa and Titan!"
"The red side KZ team has top laner Camille, jungler Silas, mid laner Zoe, and the two lanes are Ezreal and Karma!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the first match on the second day of the intercontinental group stage!"
