Chapter 184 Another Surprising Double-Lock Lineup!
"EDG won so easily."
"It's less than twenty minutes, I don't know if it breaks the record..."
"Draven's performance... Who will dare to let go of God Z's Draven in the future?"
"The only true god of LPL!"
After EDG won the second game, the audience became a little uneasy.
Before the game, everyone's evaluation of the two teams was that there was not much difference in strength, but in the second game EDG ended the game in such a devastating way, which completely shocked them.
"I think RNG still needs to consider banning Draven from God Z." Wawa: "Although other OP heroes will be released, after watching EDG's Draven, I feel that it is really not easy to deal with."
"I don't think I can be stubborn." Miller looked at Draven's data on the screen and exclaimed: "Dlevin, who has super perfect data, has never died once and has not given RNG any chance to make a comeback."
Shenchao: "Looking at it now, we can't let EDG get the advantage in the bottom lane, otherwise it will be difficult to fight."
The commentator analyzes on stage, and the audience nods subconsciously. This is also their most intuitive feeling.
As long as EDG gets the advantage in the bottom lane, EDG will win easily.
In the past, this feeling could be felt in RNG's bottom lane, but today...
"There is a gap among genius ADs." The audience all sighed with emotion.
In several confrontations, Uzi was defeated by Yezi, and now they have gradually accepted this fact.
Yezi, a rising star, seems to be even more powerful than Uzi.
As a result, RNG is a little uncomfortable. The problem they have to face is very acute-how to deal with EDG's bottom lane?
…
At the end of the game, players from both teams return to their respective lounges.
Needless to say, EDG had a joyful atmosphere, but several RNG players were different. They didn't even know how they got back to the lounge.
"Eighteen minutes..."
Looking at the returning team members, Brother Feng was stunned and didn't know what to say.
The game length of this game shocked him. In this slow-paced version, what does eighteen minutes mean?
Even SKT has never played such a crushing game so far.
Could it be that EDG is really that strong?
In his daze, Gou Ba said: "There is still a chance. Forget about the first two games. No matter how the game goes, just treat it as BO1 now."
Everyone was speechless.
Such old-fashioned rhetoric can no longer comfort their shattered confidence.
Uzi leaned back in his chair and didn't want to speak.
He originally thought that this year would be the easiest year to win the championship, and he was extremely confident, but he never expected that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway, and Yates would appear from EDG.
Have you really been cursed to live without a crown for the rest of your life?
Thinking of this, Uzi felt unwilling but had no choice.
Ask for it but get it!
This feeling is extremely difficult for people who have not experienced it deeply to understand.
"puppy……"
At this time, Brother Feng turned his eyes to Uzi: "No matter what, don't leave any regrets."
"In the last game, we have to fight for what we have."
When faced with desperate situations, the team can easily burst out with extraordinary energy.
After all, there is nothing left to lose.
…
On the screen, the MVP of this game appeared.
There is no suspense, Delevingne's background, Yezi's makeup photos, and the music that sounds exciting.
A variety of modes designed by countless skilled craftsmen are completely irresistible to the audience.
In just one MVP settlement, the audience's hearing, vision, mood... and other senses were invisibly mobilized.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yezi's Draven performed really well.
"It's undisputed." Wawa said: "Awesome record. There were many duel kills in the game. I can't think of a reason not to give Draven this MVP."
Miller sighed with emotion: "EDG really found a treasure. They randomly signed a player, and unexpectedly he became the mainstay of EDG."
How critical is the core of a team?
It is no exaggeration to say that it can completely change a team.
There are many teams that may have drastically changed their results just because they changed one player.
Although EDG is not that exaggerated, Yates definitely contributed a lot to getting to this point when everyone was not optimistic about it at the beginning of the season.
Even viewers who have not played a few games can see this clearly.
At this time, hearing Miller mention the old story again, other clubs were more or less regretful and jealous.
If they had known that Yates was so strong, they would never have been stingy in giving Yates a big contract.
However, that’s how card drawing is, and this is also the charm of LPL.
You never know whether you spent a sky-high price to buy a "Chue Gou Ba" or you found gold at a low price.
Of course, people like Yates are in the minority and are not representative.
More clubs have spent money and failed to produce results...
For example, VG almost bought the entire SKT, and even Kkoma was dragged over to coach for a while.
However, there is not much change.
Therefore, it is really impossible to do e-sports without some financial resources. There are no other ways to monetize, and it is easy to lose everything.
…
Rest time is always short.
The two teams quickly took the stage for the third game.
Baby: "Welcome back, watch the third game between the two teams. I am the commentator for this game."
"I'm Miller."
"I am Shenchao."
The trio had already prepared their commentary.
In fact, they had been discussing the previous game just now.
The eighteen-minute game duration fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the commentators.
"RNG is under a lot of pressure now." Wawa said directly: "The score between the two sides is 2:0. As the lagging side, RNG will have no chance if it loses again in this game."
RNG can now be said to be truly in dire straits.
The summer finals adopt a bo5 system, which is a best-of-five game system.
RNG, which has lost two points in a row, has no room for error anymore. To put it simply, if RNG wants to win the Summer Championship, it must clear the level in one life, but the difficulty...
"I wonder if RNG has made preparations in the audience..."
Shenchao looked at the screen and felt worried for his old club.
Even looking at Draven in the last game made his scalp numb.
However, if he really wants to ban Delevingne, he is not too optimistic about RNG.
Because Draiwen is a relatively unpopular hero, and wasting the ban position on this, BP will definitely be at a disadvantage.
Others don't know the impact of BP on the outcome of the game, but he knows it very well.
With a good BP, half the game is won before the game even starts.
This sentence is not empty talk.
Many teams that did not pay attention to BP in the past were severely beaten in the end, and in the end they had no choice but to honestly ask the coaching team to study this thing.
Why can EDG continue to dominate the LPL?
It’s not about how strong they are, but that they were the first to formalize it, hire coaches, analysts, and formulate rules and regulations...
Therefore, EDG took the lead in breaking through in the LPL, but compared to other teams in the World Championship, EDG is still too young.
Especially compared to the LCK, which is a highly complete e-sports competition area, EDG is like stealing a trick from others and showing it off, leaving no room for them to fight back.
It can be seen from this that BP has a huge impact on the situation.
But now, before the game even starts, RNG has to face the problem of BP.
During the commentary, the equipment of both teams was completed.
After confirmation by the referee, the interface is converted to the BP interface.
"The two teams have completed their preparations and entered the BP stage." Wawa: "In this round, RNG took the initiative to choose the blue side, EDG was on the red side, and the two sides changed sides."
Miller: "I think RNG should go to the blue side in the last game. The BP pressure on the red side is a bit too much for RNG."
Shenchao: "But the most important thing is to see how RNG handles Draven.
Xialuo needs to be banned at least once. If Draven occupies another ban position, RNG's BP will still be uncomfortable."
"Yes……"
With that said, the first three bans on both sides have ended.
RNG banned the first three moves: Luo, Shen, and Draven.
EDG banned the first three moves: Kalista, Crocodile, and Lucian.
"Dlevin is still banned."
No one was surprised to see Draven being banned, but Shenchao secretly shook his head.
RNG was a bit led by EDG. Once Draven was banned, no matter whether they could win the game or not, RNG had exposed the objective fact that they couldn't handle Draven.
So far, there are two points that RNG cannot handle.
One is the push combination of Small Cannon + Feng Nu + Shen, and the other is Draven...
In this game, because RNG was on the blue side, it barely managed to ban all the opponent's core points, but what about the next game?
If RNG returns to the red side, will the ban position be as comfortable as it was on the blue side?
But having said that, RNG can only handle it this way now.
Compared with RNG, EDG not only fixed the ban position of Kalista, but also targeted the top lane Crocodile and the mid lane Lucian.
"They are stupid." Xiangguo couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lucian entering the ban position: "We don't need Lucian, what did the other side think, and they banned Lucian."
"..."
There is actually nothing wrong with Xiangguo's words. After all, Lucian didn't perform very well in the last game.
Moreover, their core is in the bottom lane, and the chance of picking Lucian in the middle is not that high.
In his opinion, banning someone like EDG is a waste of a ban position.
But Xiangguo didn't notice. After he said this, Xiaohu's face turned dark.
Damn it! I have a problem with my hero being banned? Who is this hinting at?
Xiaohu secretly complained, but the two were old partners since they were kings. He knew how low Xiang Guo's emotional intelligence was, so he didn't care too much.
At this moment, something happened that made Xiaohu even more speechless. Uzi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Lucian's ban position should be aimed at me. The opponent doesn't want me to take a strong bottom lane, but still wants to play with lane advantage."
Having said this, Uzi's heart was filled with anger. The opponent's bottom lane was getting a taste of the sweetness, and he was really treated as a soft persimmon.
Xiaohu stopped talking completely.
He discovered that his status in the team was not as high as he thought.
Now is the time when mid laner Lucian is popular, and Uzi actually said that EDG is targeting him... He can't target himself if he co-writes with the opponent.
No one noticed anything unusual about Xiaohu. Brother Feng touched his chin and analyzed: "What the puppy said makes sense. In this case, we can..."
In the voice message, after some deliberations, RNG locked in on the first hero - the prince.
"Oh?" Watanabe: "RNG grabbed the prince in the first choice and didn't grab the bottom lane. This is a bit surprising to me."
The advantage of the blue side lies in grabbing it. Now RNG chooses the blue side, but instead of getting a hero for the big brother in the team, it gets a prince.
"The prince of the fragrant pot also has his own opinion." Miller said: "Moreover, the prince of the factory director performed brilliantly, so this move of the prince can also be regarded as a robbery instead of a ban."
Everyone nodded secretly.
The Fragrant Pot Prince has always been one of his signatures. Although there is no reverse EQ cannon scene yet, he is definitely a top prince player and will not lose to anyone.
Moreover, now that the prince functions as a tool, Xiangguo is more suitable for this kind of hero who enters the field to "sell his ass".
Shenchao: "But in this case, EDG will go out of the bottom lane first, and RNG will still have to resist the pressure in the bottom lane."
Once the grab is given to the prince, the BP in the bottom lane will naturally have no advantage. EDG will definitely grab the strong hero in the bottom lane first...
Not surprisingly, RNG will still be at a disadvantage in the bottom lane.
'For three consecutive games, RNG's bottom lane didn't gain any advantage in BP.'
Shenchao discovered the blind spot and was a little surprised.
But can you blame the coach? No.
Brother Feng has always been one of the best coaches in the LPL, but his only shortcoming is his stubbornness.
As for BP, he is very good at it. When facing other teams, BP is rarely at a disadvantage.
Only when facing EDG, Feng Ge's BP seemed to have changed his style, as if his hands and feet were tied.
Shenchao thought for a moment and then thought of the reason - the team member hero pool.
A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. No matter how many ideas Brother Feng has, it will be useless if there are no heroes he mentioned in the player's hero pool.
Moreover, we also have to consider which heroes the team members are unwilling to play...
This time and again, BP has been constrained. Looking back at EDG, there are basically no heroes that cannot be played.
In this regard, Shenchao can only lament that the impact of the team member hero pool on BP is too huge.
And while Shenchao was sighing with emotion, the BPs on both sides did not stop.
EDG locked the hero - Xiaopao Lulu, RNG backhand locked - Karma, Big Mouth.
EDG's third choice is locked - Rock Bird.
In the first round, both sides took out their bottom lanes.
"Kalma the Big Mouth?"
Ye Zi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Uzi would dare to use his big mouth without Lulu.
Without Lulu's blessing, Dazui's combat effectiveness would have dropped by at least 30%.
Of course, with Karma here, RNG will not lose to them in the bottom lane.
But soon, Yates discovered that he was wrong.
After the first round of BP ends, both parties continue the second round of BP.
EDG banned Qinggang Ying and Airplane, while RNG banned Mantis and Pig Girl.
Limiting two-handed jungle fighting...
The factory director scratched his head and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"The opponent started targeting me, and my cards came back."
Everyone present couldn't help laughing, but they didn't expect that the factory director would now start to blackmail himself.
"He probably wants you to play with the barrel." Nofe saw through RNG's plan.
"Prince Xiangguo likes to invade, especially he has used the prince to blow up many wine barrels."
"Then what should we do?" Factory Director: "It would be too shameful to be blown up in the wild area."
"Use that one."
Saying that, Nofe glanced at Yezi, who nodded: "I think it's okay. The AD on the opposite side is a big mouth, so we can use that lineup as we like."
The factory director's eyes lit up and he thought of something.
The next moment, EDG locked the hero - Wei.
"What?!"
This hand suddenly shocked everyone outside.
"This..." Baby murmured: "Wei, how long has it been since you last appeared in the LPL arena?"
However, it's not over yet.
RNG locked onto Braum and Big Tree.
"Karma swings to the middle?!"
"Oh my God! The two teams started to operate on BP in this round."
"EDG also has a top laner named Kang, let's see how we choose..."
As soon as the words fell, EDG's last choice appeared on the screen - Titan.
Seeing this Titan, the whole crowd was in an uproar.
