The competition venue was extremely lively today, and the noise of fans could be heard from far away.
The men and women were carrying support items. The moment they saw the team members appear, they all shook the support items in their hands.
"Z God! Look at Z God!"
“I love Qi Nan’s dead fish eyes.”
"Little brother Oppa!"
"Puppy, I don't know what happened to the puppy's hand injury."
"Wow! Teacher Guo doesn't seem to have washed his hair. Teacher Guo who doesn't wash his hair is the strongest."
"Xiao Ming is really cute."
"Who dares to draw a sword and stand on horseback~"
…
The EDG players and RNG players got out of the car and were quite accustomed to the scene in front of them.
The Pig-Dog War is an event that attracts a lot of attention, and basically every confrontation attracts a lot of attention.
Yes, the reason why today is so lively is firstly because of Xia Jue and secondly because of the pig-dog battle.
"It's finally time to fight."
Looking at their old rival not far away, several EDG players looked at each other with twinkling eyes.
On the other side, several RNG players also saw several EDG players.
"We must not lose again this time." Mlxg: "byd has not defeated EDG in the past few years."
Xiaohu: "It's always a little bit close."
Letme: "I heard that their bottom lane training matches were very fierce, and several teams' bottom laners were so beaten that they saw a psychiatrist."
"This is definitely a rumor!"
Everyone didn't quite believe it. It was just a training match, and seeing a psychiatrist after being beaten was too much.
Letme scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I heard that too..."
Uzi's eyes were firm: "No matter what, we must beat them this time."
If there is anyone in the team who wants to win the most, it is definitely Uzi. In several battles with Yezi, he not only failed to take advantage, but was beaten in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
He is a player with a strong desire to win, and he does not think he is worse than any other AD.
Moreover, he has not yet won a championship, not even a single championship.
He no longer wants to be called the second best, he wants to win a championship of his own, and he also wants to prove himself through this summer match.
"You beat me for one season, but I only need to beat you once." Uzi murmured: "This time, I won't lose to you again."
…
"Why do you feel a little cold?"
Yezi was about to enter the field when he suddenly felt a chill coming down his back. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the RNG team, but only saw the backs of several RNG players.
"The person who came here is not a good person."
After muttering something, Yezi quickly followed the team into the arena.
Entering the competition venue, the ceremony before the start of the summer finals was complicated and lengthy. The host Ren Dong stood in front of the stage and one program after another was shown on the stage.
There are young ladies dancing, and there are also advertising programs planned by advertisers... In short, to describe it in four words - even dogs won't watch it.
Offstage, the audience was drowsy.
In the official live broadcast room, the barrage is merciless——
"Hurry up and fight, who cares about this piece of shit?"
"The dancing girl is older than my second aunt, can she stop twisting her butt?"
"Tiger tank drill?"
"I would like to call it square dancing."
"If you don't play games and do all these bells and whistles, will you be able to eat fried cakes?"
The officials seemed to realize that the audience's mood was not right, and quickly accelerated the process and directly invited the players to enter.
Ren Dong: “I’d like to invite the members of the two teams to enter!”
On both sides, EDG players and RNG players appeared separately and lined up in a row.
Ren Dong, on the other hand, was reading the team members' IDs.
"77777777!"
"ZZZZZZZZ!"
“Dog dog dog dog!”
Those who cheered the loudest were naturally the factory director, Ye Zi and Uzi.
After the introduction, Ren Dong continued: "Before the start of this competition, the players also have a lot to say. Let's take a look at the video recorded by the players before the competition."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen in the center changed. The factory director appeared first and said seriously: "RNG has nothing worth studying. Just capture it at level 2 and that will be it."
Then mlxg appeared: "I heard that you are the director of the pig factory, and this time I want to raise pigs in your wild area.
Red buff, blue buff, big dragon, little dragon, I want them all!"
Factory Director: "One promise is worth two incense pots for you."
After saying that, the factory director himself couldn't help but slap his legs and smile.
mouse: "Although I'm a mess, I believe we can carry the game in the bottom lane."
Letme: "I never felt any pressure when I played against you before. I hope you can put some pressure on me today."
Scout: "So far, most of the mid laners I have played against have average skill or difficulty, including RNG mid lane."
Xiaohu: "Starting from today, LPL will enter the era of RNG dominance."
Meikou: “Then we need to ask our bot lane colleagues if they agree first.”
Ming made a gesture with both hands: "Hehe."
Uzi: "Young people are young and energetic and don't know how to respect their seniors. I will teach you a lesson during the game."
Finally, Yates appeared: "I, the best newcomer in the LPL, the spring champion, the Msi champion, the future of EDG, and I am bound to win this summer finals championship.
So, what kind of champion are you?"
At this point, the trash talk ends.
As soon as the trash talk column ended, it immediately aroused a strong response——
"Damn it! Is there such a strong smell of gunpowder this year?"
"Go, go, go! It's going to be like this, we're all competitors, so you're welcome."
"God Z's words about you being a champion made me laugh to death."
"It's not scary to talk nonsense. Whoever loses will be embarrassed."
In the live broadcast room, viewers began to send comments.
Compared with the boring pre-match sessions in the past, this kind of trash talk with the smell of gunpowder and ridicule has quickly become popular and is accepted by the audience.
In fact, the earliest trash talker was the director of the factory, and he made various famous jokes one after another. However, after losing the game, the outside world's comments were extremely unfriendly to the players.
Gradually, the trash talk became less and less.
And this season, Yates has brought up the trend of trash talking again. In order to gain popularity, the officials designed scripts to allow players to tease each other.
I have to say that the effect can only be described as an explosion.
…
The pre-match session ends, the host exits and the contestants enter.
In the commentary box, the three commentators on the stage have been preparing for a long time, namely Wawa, Miller and Shenchao.
Needless to say, Doll Miller, as the current leader in the commentary industry, naturally has two people to commentate on such a top-notch event.
As for Shenchao, he was a professional player from the royal family, and even SKT was afraid of him because of his crocodile skills, and he was banned for three consecutive games.
After that, he was transferred to the second team of the Royal Family, LMQ, and went to North America to compete with Wuming, Little Smile, Doomsday, and Death Announcement.
Death Announcement is known as the No. 1 Cannon in North America, while Shenchao is known as the No. 1 Alligator in North America.
At that time, LMQ was a team in the secondary league, but like im, the lmq team completed the triple jump that year, which was the secondary league - professional league - world championship.
Unfortunately, the LQM team was assigned to the death group and stopped in the top 16.
After returning to China, Shenchao chose to retire and became a professional anchor. Occasionally he would be officially invited to the commentary box to give commentary.
As for Shenchao's commentary style... emmm, the audience calls him a prophetic commentator.
As the name suggests, Shenchao can often rely on his own understanding of the game to gain insight into the situation and predict the outcome of the game in advance.
"Brother Chao!"
“Love the twin tails!”
"It's a shame that Shenchao can still play. I really think he is better than most of the top laners in the LPL."
"Sigh, it's like this sometimes. Players can't win the championship when they are at their peak, and their morale gradually disappears."
Everyone's attitude towards Shenchao is that of regret. There can obviously be a bright future, but...
This is also a common problem among professional players. Professional players only have a few years at their peak. If you don't get results at your peak, it will be more difficult to get results later on.
Therefore, some professional players will choose to retire if they can't hold on, and those who persist will have increasingly slim chances of realizing their dreams. For example, the factory director is the most typical example.
No more gossip.
At this time, there were three commentators in suits and leather shoes. Shen Chao was small in stature and had a cute expression. He looked a bit like a primary school student standing next to the doll Miller.
Baby: "Hello everyone, welcome to the summer finals between EDG and RNG. I am the commentator for this game."
"I'm Miller."
"I am Shenchao."
Wawa: "I believe everyone has been looking forward to this game for a long time. Personally, I am also looking forward to the exciting showdown between the two teams."
"Yes." Miller: "EDG's starting top laner in this game is mouse.
Of course, what attracts the most attention is the bot lane on both sides.
On one side is this year's hot dark horse Z-god, and on the other side is the veteran AD puppy.
The two players’ styles are more offensive, and I believe the showdown in the bottom lane will be quite exciting.”
"Miller, I heard that EDG's bottom lane training matches were very strong. Many bottom laners went to see a psychologist after playing in the bottom lane. What do you think of this?"
Wawa glanced at his old partner and told the gossip he had heard.
"If this is really the case, then Puppy and Xiao Ming should be careful." Miller: "From my personal point of view, God Z is now in good condition.
You can also see it from the avatar in the lower right corner. God Z’s expression doesn’t look stressful and he is relatively relaxed.”
The director zooms in on the camera.
I saw Yezi talking and laughing with his team members, chewing gum in his mouth.
Immediately, the director showed the camera to Uzi, and the reactions on both sides were mirror images.
The same chewing gum, the same communication with teammates, the only difference is that Yezi is smiling, while Uzi has a more serious face.
Make a decision!
"Puppy is serious."
"I have to win once. This year I was really suppressed by EDG in the bottom lane."
"Come on puppy! I will always support you."
"We must win the championship!"
RNG fans keep praying.
Compared with EDG who has been through all the way, RNG's journey to this point can only be described as a near miss.
Based on this, RNG fans are not as confident as they were at the beginning of the season. They only hope that RNG players will perform exceptionally and help Uzi win a championship.
In the commentary box, Shenchao didn't say much.
Wami Miller is old-fashioned, and Wawa directly raised the topic to Shenchao: "Shenchao, you and the puppy were once teammates. Who do you think can win in a battle between the two sides in the bottom lane?"
this……
Shenchao thought for a while and said: "It depends on the state. It is difficult to measure the victory or defeat of the top players by their paper strength. It depends more on the player's state and performance on the day. Team tactics also have a great impact on the players."
After a pause, Shenchao couldn't help but sigh: "But to be honest, when it comes to players' talents, the first one I admire is Puppy, and the second one is God Z.
And as a newcomer, God Z still has a lot of room for growth."
Hearing the answer, Baby Miller was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shenchao looked naive, but his words were flawless, and no one on either side could be offended.
Miller wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the screen flashed with light and the interface switched to the BP interface.
"Coming!"
Everyone was refreshed. After waiting for so long, the game was finally about to begin.
Not only the audience, but also the commentators feel this way.
If someone counts the number of viewers of the Summer Finals, they will find that compared to previous years' finals, the number of viewers this year has increased by at least 30%.
This shows how popular the LOL competition is this year.
"In the first game, EDG is on the blue side and RNG is on the red side."
Wawa said: "The blue side has a higher winning rate, but for both teams, the red side can take out the bottom lane at once.
Therefore, I feel that side selection will not have a great impact on both teams."
Miller: "Now both sides have started banning people. Kalista must be banned in the version, and Xialuo must also occupy at least one ban position..."
Shenchao: "If nothing else happens, RNG will still choose to restrict EDG's bottom lane heroes. Other lane heroes are not so OP, and even if the opponent takes it, there are many alternative heroes to choose from."
During the commentary, the first three bans from both sides have been determined.
EDG's first three hands were banned: Qinggang Shadow, Spider, and Galio.
RNG banned the first three hands: Kalista, Rakan, and Draven.
Just as Shenchao predicted, RNG directly banned the three bottom lane heroes.
"No problem." Watanabe: "EDG targeted the combination of Qinggangying and Galio, and at the same time restricted the spiders of Xiangguo who have performed well recently."
Miller: "As Shenchao said, RNG targeted EDG's bottom lane hero.
But having said that, I didn’t expect RNG to ban Draven.”
Everyone nodded. Draven and Vayne are not commonly used ADs. They are usually used as surprise weapons, but now RNG has given Draven a ban position.
Shenchao explained: "If you ban like this, RNG's tactics should have changed, and the bottom lane may have to resist pressure."
"Huh? Resist stress?"
As soon as Shenchao said this, everyone was stunned. Doll Miller looked at each other, not believing it.
RNG's bottom lane is its signature. Isn't it a waste of resources to let the puppies resist the pressure?
Shenchao didn't say any more, BP was still going on and had entered the selection stage.
"Leaf, do you want to go out first?" Nofe asked from the EDG team.
The blue side has the advantage of grabbing first, and as Yates is the core of EDG, if he wants this position, it will naturally be given to him.
Popular ADs outside include Xia and Pao, Policewoman, Verus, Ice, Big Mouth, and Mouse can also be chosen...
Therefore, no matter whether you go first or not, there is basically no advantage in choosing someone in the bottom lane.
However, when choosing a hero, you don’t have to just focus on the version. It also depends on the player’s touch and hero proficiency.
It is somewhat advantageous for players to give priority to heroes with high proficiency and hot feel.
Ye Zi thought about it for a moment, and without being polite, said directly: "Then get me the cannon."
