The backstage lounge at DWG was filled with gloom and gloom.
But there was finally good news for them.
That's because today's Thorn Birds didn't know whether it was to train themselves with weights or for other purposes. They once again chose the red side when they had the priority to choose the side.
The red square that always occupies a ban position is very unpleasant in the eyes of everyone in DWG.
Their ban position is not enough. If there is another fixed "Pan Sen", it will undoubtedly be another heavy blow to their already somewhat depressed will.
"Don't think so much, go out and use the things we prepared for SKT, otherwise we may really have to wait until next season."
Brother Genshin made the decision.
Yes, they haven't run out of gas yet.
The reason why they didn't bring out the bottom line in the first two games is because this lineup system is not perfect. A system that has never been used in actual combat looks like their trump card on the surface, but it has not been successful.
Before the experience, this system was more like a fig leaf.
Now, they are standing on the edge of the cliff.
It doesn't matter whether you hide your shame or not.
Whether or not there will be any regrets in this World Championship has become the only goal of the DWG team at this time.
You know, since the establishment of the Thorn Birds team, no LCK team has been able to win even a small game against this all-Chinese team.
It is our duty to rebuild the glory of LCK.
But how to recast it and what method to use to recast it, everyone has different opinions.
For all DWG players and even their coaching staff at this moment, being able to overthrow the Thorn Birds, even in just one game, is a major breakthrough.
It's just... this idea sounds a little sad.
There was a time when their LCK was the strongest overlord in the league universe.
When have you ever experienced this kind of frustration?
Before taking the stage again, the young people of DWG inexplicably imagined the scene of Xiaori going to his death with a white cloth tied on his head.
They look a bit alike now.
…
"Viewers, welcome back. What you are watching now is the quarter-finals of the League of Legends 2019 Global Finals. The two sides fighting are the Thorn Birds and DWG. We have just received news that the Thorn Birds still chose the red side in this game.
, I don’t know what considerations they made their choice.”
At the commentary table, Wang remembers speaking.
"I think the main reason why the Thorn Birds did this is that they wanted to take advantage of the characteristics of the red square's two counter positions, one large and one small, to make corresponding countermeasures. In fact, it is not difficult to see from the previous two games.
In terms of 1v1 laning ability, DWG’s top lane and mid lane are both quite outstanding.”
"Whether it's Brother Shengqiang or Xiye, it's difficult to take advantage of DWG's top and middle players in the lane. Brother Shengqiang was single-killed in the last game."
"And the Thorn Birds' tactical variability also determines that they don't attach much importance to limiting the opponent's hero pool. As long as they are given the opportunity to counter, they will have enough confidence to counterattack with tactical adjustments.
"
Guan Zeyuan's analysis made many viewers nod secretly.
Don't look at the fact that college students usually make predictions that are a bit outrageous.
But what's even more outrageous is that people's game understanding is really good. With such game understanding, they can make predictions that seem reasonable but are actually outrageous. This is the most outrageous thing.
During the three-person discussion, the third BP game of BO5 between the two sides also kicked off.
Compared with the previous game, DWG did not make many adjustments in the first three bans.
They pressed down Karma, Ryze, and Xayah respectively.
In these three ban positions, they just replaced the Rakan who was pressed down in the previous hand with Xayah.
In contrast, the Thorn Birds banners continue to adopt a situation of adapting to the ever-changing situation.
Pantheon has a fixed ban, and Syndra will never be given to Showmaker. After all, Xiye's Syndra is a bit green, which is one of the few BP shortcomings of the Thorn Birds.
In the last move, Thorn Bird knocked down an intriguing hero.
Great inventor.
The appearance rate of the hero The Great Inventor in this S game is quite good.
In order to improve the ability to push the bottom lane, many teams will choose ap heroes to play the ad position. While improving the ability to push the line, the Big Inventor also performed very well in the early small-scale collisions.
Therefore, when this ban position was unveiled, Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up in the commentator's seat: "The Thorn Birds' ban has some ideas. They feel that the DWG team is in this game that is a life and death battle for them.
Will China focus on positional warfare and defense?"
"It is true that with the Great Inventor here, positional battles will be very strong, and if the Great Inventor chooses to use RE during team battles, he can achieve a certain team-opening effect."
"In that case, DWG... steals Jace! And it locks him instantly!"
As Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the director's camera showed Niu Guli at the right time.
Niuguli looked indifferent and was wiping his hands with a tissue.
There is fire in his heart.
And since he was given Jace, he would vent his anger even more on the Thorn Bird's head.
"Be good, you will go to jail if you go on the road."
Brother Holy Spear smacked his lips: "What are you using for this? If you use Kennen, you'll feel like you'll be taught both forehand and backhand."
After the previous two laning matches, Brother Shengqiang admitted that it was a bit difficult for him to deal with Niuguli in 1v1 based on laning alone.
After all, he is still a young man two years younger than me.
Time is not forgiving. He has advantages against Niu Guli in team battles and some ideas of cooperating with his teammates, but only in the lane, if he can't beat him, he can't beat him. Brother Shengqiang never talks hard about this.
"Then what do you mean, you're going to resist the pressure?"
Xiangguo rubbed his hands and said.
"I have no problem with it. I'm the best at dealing with pressure. I'll choose someone who can withstand pressure. Then you'd better choose someone who can do C, arrange him, and beat him to death."
Brother Holy Spear chuckled.
He is not afraid of pressure.
Because as long as you have teammates, even if the selected hero is weak in the lane, he is unlikely to go to jail.
What kind of game is League of Legends for the top lane position?
It's a game called jungle.
"Then take it out and practice with it before it gets rusty."
Zhu Kai smiled and said.
Aoun, Kiana.
Two heroes appear one after another!
"I know Aoun, Kiana...Kiana of the Thorn Birds?"
Guan Zeyuan's expression was a little strange.
The Thorns have lost very few games in the LPL this summer and played very few difficult games.
It is precisely because of this that the Thorn Birds are more easily remembered by people when their status fluctuates.
Guan Zeyuan remembers it clearly, because in that game, the mid laner Xiye of the Thorn Birds used Kiana. Her several waves of super green ultimate moves are unforgettable. Since then, Xiye has hardly used them.
, this hero was gradually eliminated from the Thorn Birds’ tactical system.
Now, more than a month later, the Thorn Birds have taken out this hero again. Everyone will naturally think that this hero was used by the Thorn Birds to hit the middle.
For a time, many Thorn Birds fans began to panic.
"This... won't float anymore. Are you going to give one as a gift?"
"It's hard to say, Xiye's Kiana is indeed not seen. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Xiye is training Kiana hard during this period."
"Hammer, I haven't seen him play a few games in rank..."
"Then do you think it's possible that this thing is for Xiangguo? I remember that there are people practicing in Xiangguo rank, and they are playing pretty well."
The audience was talking a lot.
Although the Thorn Birds have not played this hero on the field, the ranking record cannot be deceiving.
It is true that Xiangguo is often played, but it has never been taken out and used in the competition.
DWG’s coach frowned.
Thorn Bird, came up with something new again.
He felt a little annoyed. A normal team would use one set of tactics as long as they didn't lose, hiding other tactics as their trump card.
The Thorn Birds have already beaten them 2-0. As for that? Are they going to come up with something new?
"Get the barrel, Silas."
Brother Genshin said slowly.
Whether it's Kiana's ultimate move or Ornn's ultimate move, it's enough to give Silas a huge space to play.
He could tell that Showmaker was holding back his breath.
Since this is the case, give him the opportunity to say this.
Silas was quickly finalized by the DWG team.
When it was the Thorn Birds team's turn to choose, the Thorn Birds team directly selected Akali on the third floor.
"The classic Silas fights Akali is coming!"
Seeing this scene, many viewers were refreshed.
These two heroes are a very common matchup in rank.
And it’s hard to say which one of them is stronger or weaker. If Akali wants to complete a solo kill, she will probably have to reach level 6. Although Silas doesn’t have to get 6, when facing Akali who has the Xia Formation to protect her life,
It is indeed more difficult for Sylas, who is less than 6, to kill Akali without one ultimate move.
Therefore, once these two heroes face off, the smell of gunpowder will be very strong after reaching level 6.
Players who mainly play Sylas feel that they have an advantage playing Akali.
Therefore, when the opponent chooses Akali, they will subconsciously choose Sylas to deal with it.
But on the other hand, players who mainly play Akali feel that playing Sylas is an advantage.
Therefore, these two matchups are quite common not only in ranking, but also in professional arenas.
"Akali... is locked! In this case, the Thorn Birds team has clearly stated the position of the midfielder and has not chosen to swing. However, the coaching team on DWG should also know the approximate position of Kiana. In this way, both sides
The first three moves were all played in the upper midfield... Of course, there is still a possibility that DWG’s barrel will swing.”
During Guan Zeyuan's analysis, the second round of BP between the two sides also started quickly.
In the second round, the Thorn Bird still pressed down the Braum that was banned in the previous round.
Immediately afterwards, they added additional targets and pinned the Titan to death.
The DWG team took down Thresh and Yinzeriel respectively.
When it was the Thorn Birds team’s turn to choose the fourth floor, a hero appeared on the Thorn Birds’ fourth floor.
Pike!
Liu Qingsong was a hero who didn't play many times, but left a lot of highlights for the audience!
"Three assassins paired with Ornn in the team fight... The Thorn Birds have a lot of ideas."
Baolan thoughtfully said: "With such a lineup, Brother Luo can add a lot of heroes. He can use Kalista to strengthen the team's team-starting methods and early offensiveness, or he can choose Destiny Master.
The hero is sniping from the back row."
"As long as this lineup can be activated and the midfielder can cut in, there is actually no shortage of output."
Although Bao Lan likes a conservative lineup, it would be a different matter if Li Luo is involved.
The fourth floor of the DWG team began to flash.
They are still hesitating.
It seems that because of Thorn Bird's Pike, DWG had a hard time making a decision.
However, soon, the fourth floor of DWG revealed the answer to the audience.
Poppy.
A yordle with a hammer.
This hero who performed well in the previous Thorn Birds team, intercepting and interrupting the enemy's advance skills several times, appeared on the fourth floor of DWG!
This hero DWG only selected once in the group stage.
But the results of that game were far from satisfactory.
Now, the hero appears again.
Is it based on the experience gained from the Thorn Birds’ last game?
Just when many viewers were thinking this way, on the fifth floor of DWG, the hero was locked.
Ashe.
This is a very old hero, but it appears in the S game for the first time.
As soon as the hero appeared, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Even though Han Bing was a relatively popular hero in the S6 and S7 seasons, it is indeed not easy for Han Bing to be on the professional stage in the current S9 season.
In the eyes of others, is the BP of the DWG team really made by carbon-based organisms?
But on the Thorn Birds team side, Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly.
All people's prejudices against something are based on cognitive aspects.
If this thing is confirmed in the subsequent development, this kind of prejudice will not appear in the eyes of normal people.
Similar prejudices are not uncommon for the game League of Legends.
Because there are too many knowledgeable guys in League of Legends.
As long as they feel it is outrageous, they will criticize without mercy.
This is also what Li Luo admires most about Brother Yuanshen.
This professional player full of creativity seems to dare to try out any hero when he has the absolute say in the team.
What to do if you lose?
If you lose, you will just be criticized.
But if he wins and allows the audience and even players or coaches from other teams to see that what he has invented is reliable, then he will become a trendsetter and the most eye-catching person on a tactical level.
Now, DWG launches an attempt in its own life-or-death situation.
This alone was enough to make Li Luo stand in awe.
"The ice...is locked! Then the DWG team's team opening...it feels good, and the positional battle is also okay, but the output ability of the C position will be a bit poor."
Guan Zeyuan looked at the screen thoughtfully.
And while he was thinking about the analysis, the fifth floor of the Thorn Birds team also gave them their tactical answer.
On the fifth floor, the fortune teller will appear directly.
Just as Baolan predicted before, when the Thorn Birds chose a three-assassin team to start the team, they did not strengthen the strong core in the adc position.
Instead, it adds points that allow the midfielder duo to perform better.
Fortune teller!
"In that case...the lineups of both sides have been finalized!"
"The blue side DWG team, top laner Jace, jungler Barrel, mid laner Silas, and the bottom lane duo is Ice and Poppy."
"The red side Thorn Birds team, top laner Ornn, jungler Kiana, mid laner Akali, the bottom lane duo of Destiny Master and Pike!"
"The players of both sides are ready, let's enter the most critical third match of BO5 between Thorn Birds and DWG! Will DWG win back a victory and retain a glimmer of hope for a comeback, or will Thorn Birds crush it with force?
