Although the result of the first game between Thorn Birds and FPX was within everyone's expectations, the intensity of the process really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Guan Zeyuan immediately posted an update on Weibo. The content of the update was a shivering picture plus the three words "Could it be that?"
He was a little panicked.
This time Guan Zeyuan chose to follow the trend in his prediction.
Others predicted that the Thorn Birds would win 3-0, and he was no exception.
But this one... It's not that Thorn Birds' performance was bad, but that FPX's performance was too good. Whether it was a tactical idea or the personal performance of the players in the game, it was beyond doubt that
One thing is that they seem to have evolved compared to when they played EDG.
There have always been a few well-known teams that seemed to have only that much strength, but after a certain game, they inexplicably activated the Ren and Du second line. It sounds mysterious, but it is a fact.
The Thorn Bird is almost in a full draw state, but it is still so difficult to win.
Then the subsequent game...
Inside the Thorn Birds backstage lounge.
"Their performance in this game was effective, and it is not difficult to see FPX's main intention in this BO5."
Zhu Kai took a lot of notes during the game and was conducting a simple review with the players at this time.
The intermission was relatively short, so Zhu Kai's review was concise and to the point.
"Don't target Xiaoluo, just let him choose the hero, and then don't send him in the bottom lane. However, their intention was not realized in the last game. The bottom lane was still not stable after all, but what is certain is that FPX improved in the last game.
At best, it can only be regarded as a test of the waters."
"Of course, there is no problem for our bottom lane duo to suppress, but if we want to break through, we must rely on the cooperation of Xiangguo, so they are crazy about the jungle position in the BP."
Zhu Kai pondered for two seconds: "We have to take the initiative in the jungle. In the next game, we will choose blue."
"Does the hero Tetsuo need to press it? Doinb is disgusting when playing this thing. He uses golden cloth shoes and a big move for the ADC to frame. The ADC has no output on the front battlefield. They use the red square.
If 957 Kang is given the special slot, it will be difficult for Xuanjun to choose a big core to carry in the game."
"In the middle lane, although Xiye can play Airplane, doinb has Sylas, and FPX can also play Airplane, a hero."
Liu Qingsong frowned.
After this analysis, from the perspective of the hero pool, the Thorn Birds team does not have an advantage.
But it’s no wonder that FPX is the best “inventor” team this year. Although the Thorn Birds players have a deep hero pool, they are still slightly inferior to FPX, which has enough ability to complete the job.
"The two heroes locked up, Titan and Tetsuo, need to kill one of them."
Li Luo finally spoke.
His output environment was indeed too bad in the last game.
If Xiye hadn't been desperately blocking the impact of the FPX lineup in the front row, Li Luo's output environment would have exploded.
At this time, Li Luo missed the power of the strong wind.
Although the mythical version is a piece of cake, it is undeniable that the existence of some equipment has indeed raised the upper limit of some heroes' operations a lot.
The Thorn Birds' operation was excellent, which allowed them to maintain the situation even when Li Luo didn't dodge, and not be forced to open by FPX.
In this case, FPX forced the attack twice, but because it was too anxious, the formation was not consistent, and the Thorn Birds successfully counterattacked.
If there is the equipment of Gale Force, the Thorn Birds will win the game much earlier.
"Okay, we just have one more ban position on the blue side to replace Pantheon."
Zhu Kai nodded and said.
The second game between the two sides kicked off quickly.
As expected, FPX’s tactics were exactly the same as in the first game.
The Thorn Birds chose to kill Titan in the first three ban positions.
This thing, Thorn Birds, is not very good at playing in the middle, at least compared to doinb.
When the two sides reached the BP stage, the Thorn Birds team was the first to choose the wine barrel from the incense pot on the first floor. Unsurprisingly, FPX once again favored the hero Tetsuo.
What is different from before is that FPX has finalized Galio on the second floor.
"Gario... FPX is causing trouble again, and they are also causing trouble on the blue side."
At the commentator's table, pdd thought thoughtfully: "It's not impossible for them to choose Galio first and then directly choose a prince. Of course, it doesn't rule out that they didn't plan to choose the prince, but wanted to deceive the Thorn Birds into a ban spot."
"It is possible.
Miller nodded and then added: "We all know that for the Thorn Birds, Prince and Galio are their relatively fixed system. The reason for this is that Prince of Xiangguo has very distinctive characteristics among junglers.
, since Galio is here, then adding his prince can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
"But for FPX, the Prince Galio system is not a necessary option."
While the two were analyzing, the Thorn Birds team had already begun finalizing heroes.
Should we choose to seize the prince and give up the possibility of swinging the barrel, or should we temporarily maintain the mystery of tactical BP?
The thorn bird quickly gave the answer.
Poppy in one hand and Silas in the other.
The Thorn Birds took Silas by themselves!
"Silas...Bobby, let's look at the current BP of the Thorn Birds. They seem to have left the suspense to the bottom duo. Of course, it is not ruled out that they are setting off smoke bombs to trick FPX into continuing to target the jungle position.
The BPs on both sides are just lying!"
pdd expressed the voices of countless viewers.
The Thorn Birds have played auxiliary Poppy, top single Poppy, and even the jungle Poppy incense pot has been used in rank.
The same goes for wine barrels.
The top order Shengqiangge’s wine barrel is filled with oil barrels, and the main product is greasy.
The wine barrel of Jungle Incense Pot also has its own style. The vodka in the barrel is mixed with gunpowder, and the fun is to explode with one hand.
The bucket that assists Liu Qingsong is also remarkable. He rarely makes mistakes. The bucket seems to be filled with Gazi's wine.
With the possibility of swings between these two heroes, the choice of jungle position for Thorn Birds is indeed a bit confusing.
When it was FPX’s turn to choose, FPX’s third floor decisively decided on Kalma.
Pure is swaying, everything is swaying!
"That's great. By choosing Kalma, do you want us to ban Yin Zeriel in the second round?"
Brother Shengqiang said with great interest.
"No matter what, there is nothing wrong with us pressing the prince to death in the second round."
Liu Qingsong said: "As for Yin Zerui...it doesn't feel necessary, right?"
In the second round of ban, the Thorn Bird knocked down the prince and at the same time knocked out a hand of Braum.
In contrast, the FPX team's second round of bans killed the policewoman and Kalista respectively.
They finally started targeting ads.
The main reason is that both sides put out so many smoke bombs that if they don't target AD, they may be deceived when targeting other heroes.
On the fourth floor, the choice of FPX is the same as the previous game. Sofm chooses Qian Jue.
In this way, FPX retains the suspense of the AD position on the fifth floor.
"Let's see what the hero is doing."
Xiye couldn't help but feel happy looking at FPX's BP.
The bp of fpX seems complicated, but in fact it is not difficult to understand.
The reason why they gave the Counter position to the weakest and seemingly most unnecessary adc position is that they wanted to see what the Thorn Birds team would choose in the bottom lane.
After Thorn Bird is selected, they can make adjustments, or let Galio play support and match it with an APJ-type mage hero, such as Snake, Syndra, who did not perform well in the previous game, or Bomberman.
If the bot lane combination chosen by the Thorns is relatively weak, then they can naturally use EZ Karma to go down the lane and let doinb control Galio.
Anyway, Karma and Galio are very skilled in doinb, and with Kindred in the jungle, they also have late-stage AD damage protection.
This is a conspiracy.
Because no matter what the Thorn Birds choose, they have a way to deal with it.
But the thorn bird is not afraid of conspiracy.
I saw Thorn Bird showing off a hero on the fourth floor.
Urgot.
When this hero appeared, the coach of the FPX team felt his heart sink.
Their BP is equivalent to throwing two questions to the thorn bird at the same time, hoping that the thorn bird will give the answer separately, and then they will make their own decision.
But what Thorn Bird does is, I will do one of the questions, and I will directly tear up the other question, and you have no choice.
Originally, according to the best psychological expectations of War Horse, the Thorn Birds would select Yin Zeriel as a proxy, and then pair it with Lulu as an assistant to use the strength of the opponent's lane to restrict their bottom lane combination. In that case, War Horse would have a way to deal with it.
But the Thorn Bird's choice made it very difficult for their family to pass by.
Although Tetsuo is a versatile top laner, it is difficult for him to gain any advantage when he collides with Urgot.
Urgot with the Conqueror is not afraid of Tetsuo.
Moreover, Urgot can play in a group or push the lane alone, which means that if Urgot chooses to play alone, Tetsuo will have to find him. Once Tetsuo finds him, there will be no way to restrict Li Luo.
The Thorn Bird gave a seemingly ordinary, but actually very practical solution.
As for whether Poppy will move to the support position because of this, the FPX coach is not worried about this. When Kalma beats Poppy, it is not just a grandfather beating a grandson, but at least it is a father beating a son.
From this point of view, at least their bottom lane will not be at a disadvantage.
Just when War Horse was thinking this, a hero appeared on the fifth floor of Thorn Bird.
As soon as this hero appeared, not only War Horse, but also FPX's adc player Hope's asshole tightened.
The audience at the scene also cooperated and let out a burst of exclamations.
"Seriously?"
The pitch of pdd is raised.
Miller's eyes lit up: "Don't tell me, to be honest, if I were asked to think of an ADC who is not afraid of being imprisoned by Tetsuo, then this hero mother would undoubtedly be the first one that comes to my mind."
"locked!"
Keng!
As Wawa finished speaking, the hero for the fifth floor of Thorn Birds was officially decided.
Let's hunt those who fall into the darkness together!
Night Hunter, Vayne.
This is the answer given by Li Luo.
There is no need to target Tetsuo.
If he wants to shut it down, just let him shut it down.
The premise is that if you close it, you can really restrict it...
"Damn it...you did such a trick."
At the FPX battle table, doinb rubbed his face: "Then their bottom lane has given up on laning. Poppy and Vayne are the weakest bottom lane combination. Hope, you won't feel any pressure, right?"
"Hmm... not bad."
hope hesitated.
If this is a rank, and he doesn't know who the ad on the opposite side is, then there is no doubt that in Hope's heart, he would not have any psychological pressure to hang up the person on the opposite side and torture him.
But the thing is, this is a competition.
The competition means that if the Thorn Birds dare to choose, they will definitely intensify their efforts to protect it.
Many teams are afraid to pick Vayne because they don't know whether Vayne has the ability to carry the game after helping her.
It depends on the player.
But will this kind of problem happen to Li Luo?
Countless real histories tell them that Li Luo is a suitable investment target for everyone.
You can always trust Li Luo.
So what Hope is worried about now is, what should he do once Vayne wakes up?
This kind of pressure on Hope from a psychological level is huge.
Many low-segment players will also feel this way when they encounter an opponent's ad that is higher-segmented than themselves.
It is clear that the hero on the opposite side is weaker than you, but once your opponent seizes the opportunity to take a kill in the early stage, your whole body will panic for no reason, and then you will make more mistakes and your operations will be deformed.
Of course, the psychological quality of professional players will be much stronger.
But correspondingly, their opponents are not comparable in rank.
What's more, this is Li Luo!
"The only option is to take Yin Zeriel."
FPX's coach Zhanma said slowly.
It turned out to be even more outrageous than he thought.
The Thorn Bird did not answer any questions.
Instead, I tore apart both questions, made one question myself, and then threw it to FPX.
There is only one answer to this question.
Yin Zerel.
Use EZ with Karma to crush Vayne to death during the laning phase, and then use the frequent linkage between the jungler and bottom lane to control map resources, and win the game through mid-term speed-up operations!
If you choose an AP, the suppression power and opportunity-finding ability it can bring to the line will not be as strong as Yin Zeriel's.
They have no choice but to believe in hope!
Hope looked calm on the surface, but in fact his legs under the table had begun to shake.
Of course it's not trembling out of fear, but trembling legs out of habit.
However, many people will shake their legs to hide the nervousness deep inside.
hope is no exception.
At this time, he kept giving himself psychological hints, suggesting that what he encountered was just a combination of Vayne and Poppy. There was no way these two combinations could threaten him during the laning phase. Poppy did not get to Yin Zerui first.
capable.
After this hint, Hope did feel much better.
However, just after the heroes of both sides were finalized, something unexpected happened with the 20-second countdown.
The Thorn Birds team has made hero adjustments.
The support has changed from Poppy to Keg.
Poppy, on the other hand, became the jungler.
Incense pot, gearing up on the seat.
He mentioned this hero during the last game.
But he was ridiculed by Xiye.
This time, he wants to prove himself.
Although...it looks like Bobby Jungle will be slapped in the face by Kindred.
But correspondingly, in this game, Poppy and online cooperation are relatively easy, whether it is cooperating with Silas to capture Galio, cooperating with Urgot to capture Tetsuo, or letting Liu Qingsong's barrel cooperate with him
If you keep people first, you will have a certain success rate.
Moreover, once Poppy enters the field in this game, he can form a double-entry coordination with Silas to steal Galio's ultimate move.
Of course, there is only one core key point for them to do.
Create a development environment for Li Luo and create output space for Li Luo!
"In this case, the lineup of both sides has been finalized. The blue side Thorn Birds team, Urgot in the top lane, jungler Bobby, mid laner Silas, and the bottom lane duo is Vayne paired with Cask."
"The red side FPX team has Tetsuo in the top lane, Kindred in the jungle, Galio in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Yin Zeriel paired with Karma!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the second showdown between Thorn Birds and FPX!"
