Even if the results are slightly worse, as long as you enter the playoffs and win the summer championship, you can still participate in the S competition as the No. 1 seed.
Although teams with poor results in the regular season will most likely not make it far in the playoffs, there is no difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish.
What's more, it's not like there has never been a team that won the championship with one wear and four.
At the competition venue, the showdown between IG and EDG is about to begin.
"How can IG win?"
"From the spring split to now, IG has never defeated EDG once."
"At Xihuang's level, just wait for the bottom lane to be blasted by Z God."
"It's a pity. I'm still very optimistic about IG's new jungle pair. The two of them are getting better and better as they play."
"Kid hasn't been online for a long time. Has he retired?"
"It's just like that if you don't make it. It's best not to make it forever. It's amazing that IG can win the championship with him."
"Kid: Stop talking and order food first."
In the live broadcast room, before the game started, the audience began to send comments.
Regardless of fan base or strength, EDG is much stronger than IG.
Of course, EDG didn't say they were strong, but they were evaluated before the game and the result was that EDG was stronger than IG.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, this is a game of unequal strength.
However, IG's performance this year also attracted some fans, especially top laner Theshy, who successfully attracted the audience's attention with his delicate operations and fierce laning style.
Someone even did a ranking of LPL top laners, and Theshy was ranked first.
"We're going to fight EDG again."
In the IG backstage lounge, recalling the last experience of facing EDG in the bottom lane, a trace of panic flashed in West's eyes.
Generally speaking, most professional players are full of confidence and will not easily admit that they are inferior to others.
But Yezi left such a profound impression on him. From laning to team battles, there was absolutely no room for him to fight back.
Megan also gulped, a bit timid before fighting.
"Coach, can you give me a few more ban spots in the bottom lane?"
"Um?"
The IG coach frowned.
As the coaching staff studies the game version more and more thoroughly, more and more OP heroes need to be banned.
If a large number of ban positions are invested in the bottom lane, some OP heroes in other positions will inevitably be released.
"Just ban Kalista in the bottom lane. The opponent's bottom lane hero pool is very deep. No matter how many ban positions you invest, the return will not be high."
"this……"
West and Megan looked at each other and groaned secretly.
Judging from the coach's intention, it seems that the bottom lane should be freed up. Although what the coach said makes sense, they can't beat them. This is the most important thing.
Rookie: "You can call me if you have a chance in the bottom lane. If you can support me, I will go there."
Ning also said: "Don't be so cowardly in the bot lane. The opposite bot lane doesn't have three heads and six arms. Why are you afraid of them? Fuck them!"
West, Megan: “……”
When both teams took the field, bursts of cheers erupted from the audience.
"EDG! Come on! EDG! Come on!"
Off the field, the audience was shouting hoarse and kept waving their support sticks.
Most of them are fans of EDG, and the voices cheering for IG are so soft that they are almost inaudible.
Several IG players felt heavy.
This is an offline game, even the sound of cheering will have an impact on both sides of the game.
Before the fight even started, EDG had the upper hand in terms of momentum.
Ning looked at the audience with a look of unwillingness in his eyes: "One day, I will also have the entire audience cheer for me and applaud me."
Immediately afterwards, the team members from both sides took their seats and debugged the equipment.
The director showed the camera to the players on both sides, and we could clearly see the difference in the demeanor of the players on both sides.
On EDG's side, the players looked relaxed, chatting and laughing, while on IG's side, several players looked heavy, especially West and Megan, who looked bitter.
Commentary seat.
Today’s commentators are Wang Duoduo and Rita.
Wang Duoduo is a rookie commentator in S7. He has outstanding academic qualifications and average commentary expertise but is very distinctive.
The main feature is poetry reciting, and he will often recite a poem at the commentary table, with frequent golden verses.
Rita naturally needs no introduction, vase.
At this moment, the two handsome men and women were standing on the commentary table.
Wang Duoduo: "Hello everyone, welcome to the game between EDG and IG. The commentators Wang Duoduo and rita will provide live commentary on this game."
Rita: "..."
Rita was originally prepared to answer the call. According to the procedure, she should introduce herself. Unexpectedly, Wang Duoduo introduced her directly.
Fortunately, Wang Duoduo took the initiative to stir up the topic: "I believe everyone has been looking forward to the match between the two teams for a long time. IG has just defeated omg and is gaining momentum, while EDG is facing IG as a defender. Both teams are already gaining momentum.
It’s ready to go, everyone can have a great time watching it today.”
Rita: "Yes, but the current version is more inclined to the bottom lane, and EDG's bottom lane is a point that is difficult to deal with."
"God Z is really powerful." Wang Duoduo: "The data shows that in the AD position, God Z's average output and damage ratio are firmly in the first place. The other data are also in the top few, while the West players are ranked in the top.
Around midstream.”
"Although the data has a certain relationship with the tactical choices of the two teams, how IG handles EDG's bottom lane is a problem they have to face."
"Of course, I think IG must also be prepared. Let's look forward to the exciting showdown between the two sides."
As soon as the words fell, the interface was transformed into a BP interface.
BP officially begins.
In this game, EDG is on the blue side and IG is on the red side.
Both sides seem to be well prepared. You come and go, and the selection speed is extremely fast.
EDG directly banned the first three moves: Barrel, Shen and Snake.
IG banned: Rockbird, Thresh and Kalista.
"EDG is more focused on the mid-to-upper level, while IG mainly bans EDG's heroes who take the initiative to set the pace."
Wang Duoduo looked at the screen and said: "What surprises me is that Xia Luo is still outside, and neither party has any intention of banning."
Rita: "Let's see if EDG wants to grab one of Xia Luo. If EDG doesn't grab Xia Luo or Luo, IG can directly play the Xia Luo combination."
"Luo...it's indeed Luo."
On the screen, the EDG blue side chose a hero - Luo.
"No problem." Wang Duoduo: "Compared to Xia, Luo has a higher priority. This hero's team-starting ability is too good."
"In this case, IG must use Xia on the backhand in the bottom lane, but as a support... Xia feels like she needs a hard support."
…
"Xia locks first."
In the IG team, there was no hesitation. The coach directly confirmed Xia first.
At this time, there was one person on each side of Xia Luo.
West looked sad. His Xia was actually pretty good, but for some reason, he always felt that it was not safe to play Xia when facing Ye Zi.
Megan: “What do you want for assistance?”
"Let me think about it." Coach IG fell into deep thought.
Logically speaking, the bottom lane should be equipped with an incense burner, but the soft assist is too easy to be opened, and it is easy to destroy the lane.
"Nutou bar."
Megan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard it was a bull head. If he was asked to choose a soft assistant, he really didn't know how to play this game.
"There is no incense burner."
"No more." The IG coach said: "Rookie chooses the plane in the middle, and the dual shooters are not weak in late combat capabilities."
This is a more commonly used lineup in recent games. The two shooters are late and rely less on the incense burner.
After all, the earlier the incense burner is produced, the higher the profit, and the double-shooter lineup rarely fights in the early and mid-term, so naturally it is not so dependent on the incense burner.
In the later stage, when the dual shooters are developed, the additional attributes of the incense burner are not so important.
So, IG locked in on the heroes - Niutou and Xia.
"Yes, the hero Niutou is more versatile, and if WQ hits the opponent, Xia can receive the barb."
It's EDG's turn to choose a hero. EDG's second and third hand locks are Lucian and Zac. IG's backhand lock is Airplane.
"It's Lucian jerking off again!" Wang Duoduo: "These two heroes have appeared more frequently in the middle recently."
"Lucian is more proactive in the early stage, and the aircraft is more capable in the later stage." Rita: "Hmm~ Each has its own advantages."
Everyone was speechless. Why the hell do you have to say this? It’s not nonsense.
As the aircraft locked, the first round of Bp on both sides ended.
Yezi looked at IG's selection and felt confident.
Airplane + Kasumi, a classic double shooter combination. If nothing else happens, IG’s last two choices should be Ueno’s tool picker.
"This coach from IG..."
Yezi shook his head secretly. West has proven countless times that he cannot be C, but the IG coach still puts West in the core C position. In IG's current lineup, there is not much difference between dual-core and single-core.
Of course, the most important thing is IG's jungler. If two people hold tools, the operations they can perform are too limited.
Nofe said with a smile: "Sure enough, the IG coach will pick heroes like this."
This is also something that EDG has researched, and IG’s breakthrough point is their coach.
The IG coach will only copy the homework and does not consider the strength of the players at all.
Although it is now a bot lane version, it does not mean that you cannot play in the middle and jungle. In fact, there are many teams that play in the middle and jungle.
However, IG has top midfielders, but they rarely play around the top midfielder. Instead, they choose West and Megan, who have lower ceilings, to play in the bottom lane.
This is the rigidity of LPL coaches. They don't think for themselves at all. They copy whatever the strong teams play. Even if the results are not good due to team differences, they will not reflect on it, but continue to copy other people's BP.
This kind of team is destined not to go far.
Soon, the second round of BP began.
IG directly banned Policewoman and Draven, which Yezi is good at, while EDG banned Troll and Olaf.
"They are all heroes that God Z is good at." Wang Duoduo: "In the second round, IG banned two ADs. In this case, the only ADs that can be chosen outside are Ice, Verus and Big Mouth..."
When explaining the guess, IG took the lead in choosing the hero - Big Insect.
"The big bug is on the road, no problem." Wang Duoduo: "Now the big bug's passive has been changed, and it can have unlimited stacks of ultimate moves. At the same time, the big bug can produce gargoyle plate armor. After turning on the gargoyle plate armor, it can bite most of the AD in one bite.
blood volume."
Big Chongzi is a relatively popular top lane hero in S7. Apart from short legs, this hero has control, silence, tankiness, damage, and almost no flaws.
"The big bug is indeed very meaty." Rita: "If it develops normally, Lucian will not be able to impress this big bug. EDG needs a big core AD in the bottom lane."
"Big Mouth...I think Big Mouth is the most suitable, but for Big Mouth, the laning ability of Big Mouth and Luo is too weak."
During the explanation, there were changes on the screen.
EDG's fourth and fifth hand selections - Verus, Big Tree, IG Kang's special position selection - Pig Girl.
"Verus can."
Seeing that Verus was confirmed, Wang Duoduo suddenly said: "Verus has percentage damage, can tear down the front row very quickly, and Verus has strong laning ability."
"I thought about it, and Verus seems to be better than Big Mouth, at least he won't be so weak in the lane."
"Yes." Rita nodded, and then said: "EDG's top laner took out Big Tree. Ever since the revision, Big Tree seems to have been chosen the most by EDG."
"Hahaha!"
"A great ancestral tree."
"EDG recruits a big tree and asks for orders."
"But I have to say that after the revision of Dashu, I feel that it is not as strong as before."
"That's true, but Dashu has recently strengthened his ultimate move, and the speed of his ultimate move is much faster than before."
"Let's see how EDG plays. After all, they specialize in playing big trees."
In the live broadcast room, viewers began to send comments.
After Dashu was revised, many people tried it, but the results were unsatisfactory.
The revised ultimate move has no damage reduction and rebound, but has become a group control skill.
That's all. The most outrageous thing is that the big tree's ultimate move moves slower than a turtle. Anyone with long hands can dodge it, let alone a professional player.
Therefore, no one has paid attention to the big tree after the revision. However, after the big tree was strengthened this time, EDG was still the first team to take out the big tree.
"Looking forward to the performance of the first-hand EDG ancestral tree."
Rita continued: "IG Kang took the special position of Pig Girl, no problem, Zac and Pig Girl will not take advantage of anyone in the jungle."
"Now it seems that the lineups of both sides are relatively solid." Wang Duoduo: "This game is likely to last a long time."
Everyone nodded.
If nothing else, just look at the openness of both sides in the field. If the shooters are not developed, it will be extremely difficult to impress these two tanks.
With the confirmation of Pig Girl, the lineups of both teams were confirmed.
The lineup is as follows:
EDG, blue square.
Top order: Big tree
Jungler: Zach
Mid laner: Lucian
Bottom lane: Verus
Assistant: Luo
IG, red side.
Top order: Big Insect
Jungler: Pig Girl
Mid laner: Airplane
Bottom lane: Xia
Auxiliary: Bull Head
After the lineup is determined, players from both sides change heroes.
Yezi chooses talents - Zeal of War, Summoner Skills - Healing, Flash.
A set of Verus's regular skills.
Luo's talent: Thunder.
Summoner skills: Ignite, Flash.
Seeing the skills of the two, Wang Duoduo couldn't help but said: "War enthusiasm, thunder ignited... Such fierce skills."
Rita: "It's not surprising. In my impression, the two of them act like this most of the time."
"Yes, all the other players, Luo, have the courage of the Colossus, but only Luo from Meiquan has the thunder.
But I have to say, Thunder Luo’s damage is really terrifying.”
Yezi also took a fancy to Thunder Luo's damage, so he always asked his sister to lead Thunder.
The current version of Thunder has a bug skill, so it is right to bring Thunder when you are in trouble.
Although the Luodai Colossus increases tankiness, it does not pose much of a threat to the opponent at all.
Thunder Luo is different. Although he is weak in the later stage, his ability to drive the rhythm in the early stage is very strong, and it can easily snowball.
During the commentary, the coaches on both sides bowed, shook hands, and left the field.
The game enters the loading interface.
At this moment, the system prompt sound of ding ding ding suddenly sounded in Ye Zi's mind.
