In 2016, the Big Devil won the MSI trophy, while Shi Yizhong won the S crown.
Nowadays, retro to the Song of Ice and Fire of the past, can Faker still compete with the most legendary as he did then?
Alliance viewers around the world are looking at the screen expectantly.
The second "Song of Ice and Fire" was played at the Oriental Sports Center.
"The 2020 MSI Finals has officially begun~!"
Yu Shuangcai yelled with all her strength.
The camera finally focused on the glittering golden trophy at the scene. After that, the screen shattered like a mirror, and a fist hammered out of the screen.
Riot and MSI logos appear at the same time.
When the audience looked at the screen again, they switched to the Msi final BP interface, and the first BO5 game had already begun.
The camera switches back and forth between T1 and Snake players.
It can be found that the expressions of the players on both sides are not as relaxed as in the previous game, especially Kuma and Chris, who are constantly flipping through their tactical notes.
"Okay, in the first game of BO1 in the final between T1 and Snake, the Snake team, which got the right to choose a side, chose the blue side."
Colonel Guan followed Wang Duoduo's words and introduced: "S1 defeat Aphelios."
"Both sides took down the female gunman and Syndra again on the second floor."
"Each team bans the player's hero pool. The two teams have played against each other many times and know each other very well."
"We defeated Kalista and Senna on the third floor. Now it's Snake's turn to choose someone."
One side targets the AD position, and the other side follows.
Snake discussed it and grabbed Varus. This is almost the best AD character you can get in this game under the current version. Varus doesn't use resources very much, but if you get the resources, you can still explode the carry, which is more consistent.
Uzi's positioning in the team also makes it easy to establish a system and lineup.
T1 obviously thought about this move.
Rambo is shown on the first floor without hesitation, and it has a strong restriction on AD heroes who have no displacement.
Although Faker's Rambo win rate was only 50% in the spring split, it is still worthy of trust when used to push the lane and set the rhythm.
"T1 second floor, target the prince!"
"Cuzz's prince can understand how to play, but with Rambo, Varus will basically be unable to play."
"Snake chose Thresh to add one hand of movement to Varus."
"How to choose the third floor? Ornn!"
Miller and Doll exchanged words with each other, and then Colonel Guan answered:
"Double team + top laner, the middle and junglers hide behind."
"Brother Holy Spear doesn't play tricks here. This season, his selection of Ornn is very stable. His big move can start a team and he can also build equipment for his teammates. After all, it is the finals. Brother Holy Spear knows what to do with this one."
T1 is a little hesitant in choosing heroes on the third floor.
The duke coach kept communicating with the captain, Guapi and others, and finally selected Kasha.
If he doesn't take AD, Snake will definitely continue to target him with his next two moves, and Teddy won't be able to get another easy hero.
In terms of the hero pool, Captain obviously cannot compare with Li Hao.
As the core of the team, Snake is not afraid to let you ban both hands, because the middle hero T1 cannot be banned at all.
Kai'Sa happens to be one of the current ideas for fighting Varus.
In the middle and late stages, you can fly over and kill Varus directly.
From the perspective of the red side, T1 was targeting all three moves. They were very satisfied with the lineup, and quickly defeated the spiders on the fourth floor.
The best value for money for both hands after T1 must be for the jungle position.
Snake sent away Titan. This hero was obtained by T1 and was very effective against Varus.
Take down the excavator on the fifth floor of T1, and Snake takes down Braum, who can restrain Ornn's ultimate move.
"Leona?"
Effort stared at the screen and asked Kuma.
"not good."
At the player table, Faker said directly: "The choice of Leona now is because of Counter. Thresh can interrupt your skills."
"The opponent's support is a player who is very proficient in Thresh. If Youzan ganks, you will most likely not be able to succeed if you attack first. Chencheng has no control, and it is easy for Varus to backhand him with R."
"According to my experience, when playing against Snake, if you want to proactively look for more opportunities, don't be conservative, emphasize a certain aspect of the lineup, and take advantage of this aspect."
"We thought a lot about the two games in the group stage, but we lost both times."
Duan Ma also thought so, and he suggested:
"Xianghao, choose Blitzcrank."
"Leona is restrained, the robots can restrain them."
At the players' table, Effort was obviously shocked.
This is the final!
He hurriedly said: "My Q is not so sure."
"Faced with TheKing's positioning, maybe I don't even know how to set the hook."
“Isn’t it too much of a gamble on luck and feel?”
Kuma came over and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly:
"Xiang Hao, be more confident!"
"Your robot winning rate in the spring competition is 100%, and your robot winning rate throughout your career is also 100%."
Kuma added: "Do you still remember the game against DWG in early February?"
"Beryl used Thresh, and the result was 0/5."
"We played APK at the end of February, and the opponent's assistant Secret also used Thresh, and the result was 0/4."
"We played Griffin in early April. Even though the opponent was not Thresh, we still won the game when you used robots."
"The record is the most convincing."
"Perform your regular season performance. The finals stage is bigger and you have to be more excited to do things."
"If you can hook The King, the LCK will treat you as a hero."
Faker nodded: "Yes, hook The King over."
His teammates followed suit, which greatly boosted Effort's confidence.
After the robot on the fourth floor of T1 was locked, the audience immediately cheered.
This is much more interesting than the female tank that was revealed at the beginning of T1.
Commentators from each major competition area also affirmed T1’s choice.
While staring at Snake's fourth and fifth floors, Kuma emphasized to Effort who got the robot:
"You must have confidence when setting the hook."
“Discover opportunities and attack decisively.”
"When you have the opportunity to face The King, there is no need to feel any psychological pressure if you miss a few hooks."
"If you want to defeat him, you have to concentrate and don't doubt your next hook."
Kuma's words are sincere and full of expectations for Effort.
Inspiring Effort's self-confidence based on his achievements is not a fool's errand.
The captain, who is a good partner, is afraid of using too much force to buckle the horse. After all, it is very difficult to target The King unless you are desperate for a dirty kill.
He said to Effort aloud: "SheKing, Snake and others don't have that kind of abnormal movement and reaction."
"Understood!"
Effort responded in a deep voice. After hesitating for about ten seconds, Snake chose the Blind Sin.
The factory director originally wanted to choose a more stable excavator, but unfortunately it was rejected by the T1.
The opponent knows very well which hero poses a greater threat.
Even if the factory director takes the blind monk, he is not a carnivore.
The wine barrel is outside, but it doesn't fit.
Li Hao needs to supplement the AP output here, and match it with a wine barrel. Everyone on the opposite side has no brains and magic resistance. The price/performance ratio is too high.
The more comfortable the opponent is, the more uncomfortable it is for oneself.
In the middle and jungle group of T1 Prince + Rambo, short-handed assassins are too difficult to fight. Long-handed AP such as Syndra is the best solution in the current version.
But T1 has a plan, and they have already defeated Syndra.
Mid laner Rambo pushes the lane very quickly, so beware of Faker and Cuzz roaming around to cause trouble. Li Hao must not take the hero Voldemort.
Ice Girl can.
But including Ornn on the road, wouldn't it mean that there are four guarantees and one?
The snake team cannot accept the fact that the middle lane is not the big brother's four guarantees and one.
Chris and the factory director called several heroes in succession and struggled with which one to get.
Li Hao finalized his answer, and Lu Mao immediately chose him on the fifth floor.
The voice of Sunshine Girl came out instantly:
"If you choose Neeko, you're going to mess with me~!"
Neeko has no problem facing Rambo. Her advantages are range damage and control, but her disadvantage is that she relies on skills to hit.
In the early stage, whether Neeko's damage is high or not depends entirely on her skill hit rate, and her laning and support abilities are average. In the middle and later stages of development, she can achieve super high group damage and control.
Tie-up, backhand, everything is excellent.
“Brother Hao’s mid laner Nico!”
"It's rare."
Colonel Guan also said: "This is the kind of hero who thinks about heaven and hell, because the output is unstable. Team battles are more dependent on the ultimate move, but the ultimate move is easy to empty. At the same time, amplifying the move will allow you to penetrate deep into the enemy's formation.
.”
His voice changed:
"But there's nothing wrong with Snake's choice."
"I must get the carry hero for Brother Hao."
At this time, the crocodile was taken out on the fifth floor of T1 as planned without thinking too much about the flatness issue.
The T1 lineup is relatively simple to operate overall, has good online capabilities, and has a higher fault tolerance rate.
This is also the understanding of Kuama and others about fighting Snake.
A simpler way can be more efficient.
Because no one in this world who plays tricks with The King has ever defeated him.
When Kuma was shaking hands with Chris, he turned back and glanced at the big screen when he came to the aisle, feeling suddenly a little uneasy.
I have just been thinking about the issue of crocodiles and laning, but I forgot to explain something.
His expression changed slightly and he came backstage. After hearing the team's voice, he suddenly became enlightened.
When the big devil was loading, he asked Effort:
"Xiang Hao, you have to be careful."
"The King is Nicole."
"Yeah, brother, I understand."
Effort is not stupid. You must be optimistic about the timing of hooking Niko. He will use the hook randomly to hook the ancestor on the opposite side and explode directly.
Kuma felt at peace, which he thought was a good omen.
On the big screen.
Blue side: Ornn, Blind Sin, Neeko, Varus, Thresh
Red side: Crocodile, Prince, Rambo, Kai’Sa, Robot
A few seconds later, there was a noise in the Oriental Sports Center, and the heroes entered the Summoner's Rift.
T1 plays real at the beginning.
A group of people went out and hugged each other towards the lower half of the area.
At 0 minutes and 41 seconds, Effort was very scheming and got stuck behind the triangular grass wall in the lower lane. This position was just right to avoid the sight of the defending hero in the triangular grass.
Green-haired Thresh has been used many times in the spring game, and the probability of defensive positioning is close to 70%.
T1 carries the script, and Effort faces the grass, with blind vision and direct hooking without giving any chance.
Chris and others backstage were shocked.
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.
The God of Competition stood on Green Mao's side. He controlled Thresh to wander around in the grass, without T1's vision at all.
When the robot hook came over, Lu Mao happened to move backwards, and by some strange combination of circumstances, he dodged it.
"Oh~, shit!"
In the team voiceover, the green-haired ghost screamed and hurriedly walked towards the bottom defense tower.
The big devil used Arson Feast (Q), chasing after Thresh's butt and setting it on fire. When Thresh turned, he reached the limit of distance and dealt comet and scorch damage.
Without follow-up control, Faker can't kill people, just brush a wave of data.
This is the basic chart. Now cut the screen and take a look outside. Brother Li's damage is steadily suppressing Brother Li.
The red zone was invaded by T1. The factory manager walked to the entrance of the opponent's red zone, ready to change to the wild zone at any time.
At 1 minute and 01 seconds, Li Hao used Pin signal and voice to remind his teammates that T1 had left the jungle.
The jewelry eye he inserted on the edge of the wall of F6 clearly captured the movements of T1.
The factory director had already seen it. After the robot and Rambo showed up, he started walking towards his wild area.
However, the Snake Team did not have a God's perspective and still underestimated T1's design.
A's crocodile even stood in the grass in the middle of the river.
At 1 minute and 23 seconds, the soldiers in the middle immediately gathered together.
The three T1 men squatting in the grass in the middle of the lower river channel, plus Rambo coming from the middle, all headed towards Snake's red zone for a second invasion.
The Q of the machine has improved.
Catch it, take it one second, and then get red. This is T1's script to make Snake explode in the early stage.
The grass next to F6 in the Snake team's red zone and opposite the red Buff all have the field of vision left by T1.
It is no exaggeration to say that this wave of rhythm has been brewing for a long time, and they have simulated it many times on the canyon tactical board and training matches, so that they can accurately measure the timing.
However, Li Hao's defensive vision was very good.
The movement of T1 was discovered again.
At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the soldiers in the middle fought each other, and the crocodile emerged from the river.
Li Hao wanted to know the closer position of T1. The grass behind the red Buff's butt was blind, so he clicked the W skill.
Two Flower Shadows summoned their clones and headed towards the grass.
S1 was in a group, so it gave up the red buff position.
Li Hao got a valuable piece of information.
The clone met Rambo who was walking back. Faker's movement showed that T1 judged that the Snake team had given up and the red Buff was sure to win.
The crocodile showing its head does the same thing.
The Prince Kai'Sa robots are grouped together, and Effort will always be a huge threat as long as he doesn't take the bait.
After Li Hao grasped this information, he didn't waste a second and returned to the center first, forcing Rambo to return to the line.
At the same time, he directed the factory director to team up with the duo.
If a 3v3 fight really breaks out, Snake is not afraid.
Moreover, after Rambo returned to the line, the support was not as fast as his own.
You can't put this red one on.
Otherwise, the blind monk's rhythm will be greatly favored by the hero, and the strength of T1's midfielder and jungler will be increased. Coupled with the lineup relationship, Snake's early map resources will be difficult to obtain.
Sure enough, after the three members of the Snake team came together in a group and pressed forward at 1 minute and 40 seconds, the T1 vision saw that Effort was very sensible and did not hook. If he wanted to hook, he would have to take the Thresh hook. A strong 3v3 attack may not be possible.
They pulled the red buff out and Cuzz retreated, releasing the German flag.
In 1 minute and 50 seconds, the blood volume of the red buff will be fully restored quickly.
In order to support him, Faker walked back and forth on the river twice.
Captain Pi kept his hand and went back to the bottom route first.
Kai'Sa is the late stage T1 guarantee, Teddy cannot delay his own development.
At 2 minutes and 06 seconds, Neeko did 5 CS at level two.
Faker only has 3 last hits at level 1.
What surprised the audience and commentators was that the supports and junglers on both sides were still messing around in the jungle, and the red buff had not been played yet.
The factory manager kept his eye to fight F6, but stopped playing the red buff for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Effort in the bottom lane was determined to help Cuzz. At 2 minutes and 14 seconds, he helped Cuzz harass the factory director and hit F6.
Li Hao's jewelry eye went out and he was unable to provide immediate support. When the prince and the robot showed up again, he was ready to go to F6 to help.
However, Faker, who had reached level 2, came to harass with his troops, and forced Li Hao to be held back by taking losses in exchange for blood.
On the T1 player bench, Guapi’s eyes were firm.
He knew that if he wanted to defeat Snake, he had to rely on the performance of his teammates.
You must suffer the losses you deserve online.
As a result, the factory director could only compete with the prince robot for F6.
They were separated by six birds, one at a time and one at a time, constantly fighting for each other.
Dracula Cuzz sucked a lot of blood from the big devil in the group stage, but he finally looked like a human being this time.
The factory director refused to obey and was too slow to fight for punishment, so the prince snatched the big bird away!
As the F6s disappeared one after another, everyone became more and more surprised:
"The prince robbed two little ones and one small one, and the robot robbed a little bird."
"The factory director only got two birds."
"This this..."
Colonel Guan couldn't stand it any longer: "The two T1 brothers teamed up to eat the factory director's F4!
"
"That's right."
Wang Duoduo: “And it’s the pig’s mouth that steals the food.”
"The triggering factor is here!"
"T1's tactic is great, let the factory director Hong Wen start the game."
The commentators were joking, and the camera suddenly went to the road.
a. After learning QE and having a red rage, he chased Ornn and killed him.
The crocodile fought the Conqueror, and the battle became more fierce, so Flandre had no choice but to retreat.
At 2 minutes and 33 seconds, Ornn was flashed.
Under the defense tower, Flandre, who was desperately trying to save her life, only had 47 health points!
Backstage at T1, Kuma, et and others cheered loudly!
It doesn’t matter if I didn’t kill him!
This is the start they want!
The current state of the T1 group and the hope of defeating Snake can be seen!
