Chapter 123 SKT’s life and death game, a strong showdown in the bottom lane
As soon as the base exploded, mouse jumped up from his seat.
Behind him, the referee girl thought he had a sudden illness and quickly motioned for him to sit down.
"Two to zero."
Several team members looked at each other, and Ye Zi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After getting the match point, their pressure will not be so great next.
"leaf……"
"Um?"
Yezi subconsciously looked around and found four teammates staring directly at him.
"Your move is too fierce."
“Better than Coach Nofe.”
"Nofe felt a chill in his back and felt that he was about to lose his job."
…
Yezi surprised them too much.
They never expected that the tactics Yezi proposed casually could actually defeat SKT.
That's right, a beating!
We are all professional players, and we can clearly feel that this game is simply a tactical dimensionality reduction attack.
The SKT players couldn't even show their strength and were easily defeated.
Hearing the constant exclamations from his teammates, Ye Zi smiled slightly.
The Titan mid laner is the signature system of S9 champion FPX, which focuses on midfielder auxiliary linkage and roaming support.
In fact, EDG's system in this game is not the final version yet, after all, the support did not follow the roaming.
But even so, this unique tactical style is not something that the current SKT can resist.
Of course, the main advantage of this tactic is its novelty. It is absolutely impossible to try to catch everyone with one trick.
If nothing else, the SKT coaching staff should have found a way to crack the mid laner Titan.
…
SKT backstage lounge.
After several team members entered the door, they were all a little listless.
Everyone looked at it and sighed, knowing that the mentality of the team members must have been affected.
But blame the team members? No.
Even the coaching staff is still in shock.
EDG was able to come up with a lineup and play style that they had never seen before, which was simply incredible.
"You have done a great job. The second game was about my BP. I didn't expect Titan to be in the middle..."
Kkoma put the pot behind him, then took a breath and said: "Now we have one last chance. Although it is difficult to let two people chase three, I believe everyone can create miracles."
"In the next game, we will play it as a bo1."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up at their coach.
Faker adjusted his glasses with his hand and asked a question that all the team members were concerned about: "Is there a way to crack it? The Titan mid laner is so disgusting..."
Everyone thought so.
Brainless pushing, brainless support, and strong control and fighting abilities...
The most important thing is that he narrowed the strength gap between EDG and SKT players.
When EDG's top laner was no longer their shortcoming, they actually felt inadequate against EDG.
If EDG's system cannot be cracked, even Faker has no chance of defeating EDG.
"Of course there are ways." A relaxed smile appeared on Kkoma's face: "The strength of Titan's mid laner lies in its ability to push lanes. As long as we choose a mid laner who can push lanes faster than Titan, his advantage will disappear.
In the middle and late stages, the role of the mid laner Titan is not as good as the regular mid laner, so you don’t have to worry about this."
After a pause, KKoma continued: "Besides, EDG may not continue to use this system."
The team members looked at each other, and I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If this is the case, then they can still compete with EDG, but they are not sure whether they can let two chase three.
After all, in such a big event, there are too few cases of two chasing three.
After some discussion, KKoma turned his attention to Bang, took a deep breath and said: "This game is our last chance. I decided to focus on the bottom lane. Do you have any opinions?"
"without."
Several SKT players shook their heads.
This is their old tradition.
In every critical game, SKT will use four to protect one and keep Bang to fight.
And Bang has never let them down.
At this moment, Bang has become the focus of SKT.
Bang and Wolf looked at each other, feeling extremely stressed.
Different from the previous deciding games, this is a life and death game for SKT.
Once it fails, SKT will completely lose this msi championship.
Success or failure depends on this.
…
EDG backstage lounge.
When Ye Zi returned to the lounge, everyone present glanced at him, and their eyes were still straight.
Damn it!
Ye Zi felt a chill on his back and the hairs on his hair exploded, "What are you doing?"
It's not that he is timid, it's just that the looks around him are a bit scary.
At this time, Nofe came over, smiling silly and excited, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Yates scratched his head.
What the hell? Is it because we are about to win the championship and everyone is too excited?
That’s not right either. Didn’t EDG win the MSI championship? SKT also won...
For a time, Yezi thought a lot in his mind, but none of them were very reliable.
Finally, it was Abramovich who said: "Ziye, where did you learn the Titan mid laner? This is too strong. And your first-level team... Wow, SKT's mentality has been shattered."
"Well, what do I think is a big deal?"
Hearing that they were asking about tactics, Yezi breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I've encountered them in ranked, and I've tested them several times myself, and I think the effect is pretty good..."
Naturally, he would not say that he has seen through the future...
However, seeing Yezi's indifferent attitude, Abu and Nofe became a little uneasy.
Abu said seriously: "Do you know how valuable this tactic is?"
Nofe also quickly said: "On the surface, Titan just changed his lane, but in fact, there are many heroes who can replace Titan..."
Nofe and Abu became more and more excited as they talked.
Yates understands this.
The greatest value of this system is not the Titan midlaner, but a kind of thinking, a kind of thinking that narrows the gap in hard power between the two sides through hero attributes.
For example: mouse can also suppress Faker when he selects a specific hero.
In later generations, this kind of understanding was regarded as bad, but now everyone does not have such a deep understanding of the version, and their thinking cannot jump beyond a fixed scope.
For example, in current competitions, whether it is LPL or LCK, once the version is fixed, the selection will tend to be solid, and there will not be a very outstanding lineup.
Even when they see their opponent taking the first hero, both sides know what lineup the other side is going to play.
It is foreseeable that any coaching staff who has watched the second game of EDG will definitely be inspired to develop heroes that have not been paid attention to before.
During the discussion, the MVP of this game appeared-Titans.
"Is it me?"
Mouse was stunned and felt relieved.
He did not expect that a player like himself, who had not won several MVPs in the league, could actually win the MVP in MSI.
"Congratulations."
His teammates also sincerely sent their blessings.
The factory director was a little regretful. His data was not bad. He once thought that the MVP would be given to him, but in the end...
Although mvp is not that important to him, there is still a gap.
Meikou said with a smile: "Mingkai, you finally proved yourself in this game."
"That's, beat up little peanut. I told you he is not my opponent. I just didn't perform well last time..."
When talking about the little peanuts, the factory director’s eyes lit up.
Since the World Championships, Little Peanut has become his inner demon. Now that the inner demon has been lifted, he only feels that not a single part of his body is unhappy.
Abu joked: "Then do we need the whole blind monk in this round?"
Blind monk? The factory director was thoughtful.
Seeing that the factory director seemed to really want to try it, Abu suddenly panicked: "Hey, I'm just talking, you can't be serious..."
"Hahaha!"
The team was laughing and laughing, and Yezi couldn't hold it back.
The MVP selection was over, and everyone present gradually became serious.
Abu: "There is one last round, hold on tight."
"Um."
Traveling a hundred miles is half a mile, and this last step is the most difficult to cross.
…
Rest time is always short.
Soon, both teams appeared on the field again.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Under the field, cheers rang out one after another.
Yezi glanced at several SKT players and unexpectedly found that they didn't look good.
The factory director narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that they are also under a lot of pressure."
Mouse chuckled: "They were not like this at the beginning, they were a crazy bunch."
Meikou: "People have the right to be crazy, okay. If I want to have a world champion, I will be crazier than them all."
No one refutes...
E-sports, strength speaks for itself.
Even Yezi, a junior brother who has just entered the professional circle, understands this truth.
The first time I talked about Faker, he got scolded a lot. What about now?
Scout took a breath: "When can we win the championship?"
Ye Zi smiled and said: "At this moment."
"Well……"
Everyone smiled and walked into the contestants' box.
…
"Welcome back, continue to watch the third game of EDG against SKT. I am the commentator of this game."
"I'm Miller."
In the commentary box, it's still Doll Miller.
After giving commentary for three consecutive games, the two of them did not show any sign of fatigue. Instead, they became more and more energetic.
Wawa: "The score between the two sides is now 2:0. As long as EDG wins one more game, EDG can win this MSI championship."
Miller: “I’m looking forward to it.
Theoretically speaking, the probability of SKT losing two to three is low, but we cannot be careless and cannot give SKT a chance to breathe."
"Miller, I suddenly thought of something interesting."
"Huh?" Miller glanced at his old partner: "You tell me."
Wawa: "SKT said before the game that they were going 3-0. Wouldn't it be more interesting if EDG lost 3-0?"
Miller couldn't hold it back and laughed on the stage: "I suspect that SKT's copywriting was written by Taewon."
"Very possible."
The two sang and harmonized, and the barrage became lively——
"Ze Yuan comes out and gets beaten!"
"Han Za has become a traitor, right?"
"I used to believe in science, but now I just believe in God."
"The senior colonel has worked hard."
In the commentary booth, seeing that the venue had warmed up, Wawa said: "EDG used a relatively new tactical system in the second game. I wonder if SKT has found a way to crack it."
"EDG are so well prepared." Miller said with emotion: "From the personal status of the players to the tactical reserves, EDG is ahead, especially God Z. His performance in this MSI was amazing."
The two of them, both internally and externally, tended to favor EDG.
If it were in the past, the audience would probably complain about the unfairness of the commentary.
But now, they think there is nothing wrong with what Baby Miller said. From the group stage to the knockout round to the finals, they have watched the performance of every EDG player.
Winning one game with SKT can be said to be a coincidence, winning two games with SKT can be said to be luck, but what about three and four games?
While everyone was discussing, changes appeared on the screen.
The light flashed and the BP interface appeared on the big screen.
"Coming!"
Wawa quickly said: "BP has started, let's take a look at the BP situation of both teams."
In this game, SKT is still on the blue side and EDG is on the red side.
As soon as they came up, SKT banned the policewoman, Karma and Lulu. EDG banned Kalista, Jayce and Kennen.
In the first three moves, banning people on both sides is relatively routine.
One side is targeting the bottom lane, and the other is targeting the top lane.
"EDG banned Kalista." Wawa: "It's a pity."
Miller also felt a little pity.
For three consecutive games, Calista and the policewoman were not released.
"God Z is respected." Miller said: "But there is no way, EDG is on the red side, and if Kalista doesn't ban, SKT may choose."
Wawa nodded: "SKT may want to test it out. If EDG doesn't ban Kalista, let Bang use it. Bang's Kalista is definitely not weak."
As the champion AD, Bang's hero pool is definitely not shallower than any AD.
At the same time, Miller also found clues: "Judging from the ban, SKT seems to want to give Bang a more aggressive bottom lane..."
"In this game, will SKT focus on the bottom lane?"
"Don't tell me, SKT's trump card is to protect Bang. This game is SKT's last chance. They should choose to believe in Bang."
As soon as the words fell, SKT immediately locked in the first choice - Shen.
"ah!"
There was a soft cry at the scene, and Doll Miller looked at each other: "Sure enough, it's four guarantees and one way."
Choose this hand carefully, SKT is equivalent to directly showing the card.
On EDG's side, seeing SKT locking Shen, Nofe's eyes flashed: "Do you want to take the lane first?"
Yezi shook his head: "Look at what's on the other side."
The opponent has no bottom lane. Knowing that the opponent's main lane is the bottom lane, if they take the lane first, they will easily be defeated by the opponent Counter.
Nofe nodded, now that they had the advantage, there was no rush.
"Then let's take Galio and Olaf first."
Galio, Olaf locked.
This is a rush combination, Olaf brings Galio into the field.
"Both sides didn't choose the bottom lane first." Wawa said unexpectedly: "It seems EDG also has ideas."
Miller: "However, EDG will suffer a disadvantage by choosing EDG in this way. EDG can only take one hero in the third pick. SKT is likely to restrict EDG's bottom lane in the second round of bans."
"Let's see what SKT will get in the second and third picks."
Having said that, SKT’s second and third picks locked in the heroes—Lucian and Nami.
"So fierce!"
The doll was surprised: "Virus doesn't even take the ice?"
Miller looked at the screen: "It seems that SKT is really going to put all its efforts in."
"Now the pressure is on EDG. EDG can only choose between AD and support."
Luciana's beautiful bottom lane combination... exceeded all the audience's expectations, but at the same time, there were some concerns about whether EDG's bottom lane could withstand the pressure.
"The opponent is very crazy. They have used the Luna combination."
Ye Zi touched his chin, a little surprised.
Nofe: "How to say? Ice or Verus?"
"No, no, no." Ye Zi shook his head, a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Since the other side is going to fight, we can't give in."
"What do you want to get?"
"Draven."
"Huh?" His teammates were all stunned. Delevingne, who was upset in the MSI finals?
Meikou was the first to react: "I think it's okay. Tauren, Thresh, and Titan are all good together with Draven, and the opponent won't be able to take advantage."
When Nofe saw his bottom lane duo saying this, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "Then lock Draven."
The next moment, Scout selected the somewhat unfamiliar icon of Draven——
"Welcome to the Drai League!"
"Draven?!"
"Oh my God!"
When the outside world saw this hero, the quiet scene suddenly erupted into bursts of noise.
