200: Unexpected setup, flipping the table and showing your trump card!
It is early morning domestic time.
Shen Guanshan was sitting in the corner of the cafeteria with his headphones on, concentrating on the live broadcast of the event on the screen of his mobile phone.
"Hold on," Gu Pan urged, sitting across from the dining table, "You're not hungry, are you?"
After hearing this, Shen Guanshan quickly took a big bite of the meat bun.
The thin cheeks suddenly bulged into another bun, but his eyes were always fixed on the scene of the semi-final appearance ceremony.
After chewing twice to swallow the food, she said, "This bun is no good..."
Gu Pan glanced at her, and the disgusted expression appeared on the fair cheeks that looked like Zhou Huimin. She was still pretty enough, "Nonsense, you stared at the phone for so long, the buns are cold, it's weird that they taste good!"
Shen Guanshan smiled sheepishly.
Just now she was embarrassed by the Ginyu Special Forces pose put on by Gu Xing and others.
But the more embarrassed I became, the more I wanted to watch it, which attracted all my attention to it, and I even forgot to eat breakfast.
"To have such an embarrassing brother, I'm really..." Gu Pan shook his head and sighed, and asked Shen Guanshan curiously, "Didn't you talk to Gu Yiyu on the phone last night? Didn't you know he was going to cause trouble?"
Shen Guanshan shook his head, "Gu Xing only said last night that there would be a surprise at the opening ceremony. I never knew they would play like this."
Gu Pan looked at the time on his phone and asked, "Aren't you going to study hall this morning?"
"If you want to study by yourself, I can accompany you," Shen Guanshan finished eating the cold steamed buns, mixed it with the still warm millet porridge to warm his stomach, and squinted his eyes comfortably, "but I'm just going to watch the game."
There was still a little bloodshot eyes in her eyes, obviously from lack of sleep.
Shen Guanshan had some problems with his time planning this week, as he had a lot of accumulated coursework.
Although her self-study speed is much faster than that in the classroom, the homework left behind will eventually waste a lot of time.
But Shen Guanshan didn't want to miss this crucial semi-final, so he could only stay up late to finish it and free up all morning to watch the game.
Gu Pan didn't originally intend to watch it.
But then I thought about my brother who was fighting in a foreign country. After thinking for a moment, I reluctantly changed my words, "I have two math questions that I need to ask you for help. After studying in class, go to Shaozhong to eat at noon. I'll treat you."
"Hey, what's up with you?" Shen Guanshan temporarily moved his eyes from the phone screen to his friend's face, his tone was quite surprised.
Shaozhong, the full name is Peking University Shaoyuan Chinese Restaurant.
As the name suggests, not counting the canteen, the price is much more expensive.
Gu Pan is usually very frugal, and takes full advantage of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and rarely runs to open a small stove to improve his life.
Shen Guanshan was very surprised when he offered to go to Shaozhong today.
"There is a guaranteed interview in the afternoon," Gu Pan explained to her, "the employer is the data team that was introduced to Gu Yiyu."
From the beginning of October to now, Gu Pan has been looking for a part-time job with a good salary.
It is best to enter an industry that paves the way for the future.
Being a tutor based on Peking University's reputation is certainly a good source of income, but since I don't want to graduate and become a teacher, the help for my future will be relatively limited.
After a chaotic September after arriving at the university, she was able to figure out what her goal for these four years was.
The data team at the start-up stage perfectly met Gu Pan’s requirements.
Moreover, Gu Pan was sure that the other party needed his abilities very much.
As long as your interview performance is not too outrageous, you can start making money part-time next week.
Shen Guanshan glanced at his friend, "So confident? As the saying goes... open the champagne at halftime."
She didn't know about opening champagne at first, but she only remembered it after hearing Gu Xing talk about it.
Gu Pan choked and said, "I just asked you if you would like to go at noon."
"If you want to treat me, I'll definitely go!"
Shen Guanshan heard the commentary voice coming from the earphones, and then turned his eyes back to the screen of his mobile phone.
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2016 Global Finals semi-finals, hello everyone, I am Wawa!"
The commentators for this semi-final match are still the popular Haier brothers in the LPL division.
The two of them had glowing faces and were in high spirits.
"Today's game is the highlight," Miller took over from the side. "VG faced off against ROX. The number one seed in the China and South Korea division competed for a spot in the finals at Madison Garden!"
The director gave the previous data of the two teams before the game.
"In the first 15 minutes, ROX's economic lead was +1757, while VG was even more exaggerated. This data was as high as 2200!"
Wawa made a comparison, "Both sides only lost one small game before the semi-finals, but VG won the next extra game. It can be seen that the offensive firepower of the two teams in the early and mid-term is quite close."
"In terms of the degree of bloodshed, the two teams are equally comparable," he said in an enthusiastic tone. "It can be seen that the styles of VG and ROX are very similar!"
Miller echoed his partner's point of view, "Yes, both sides use the jungle as the spearhead of their attack, and their mid-lane play is also very stable. They emphasize relying on line operations and neutral resource control to expand their lead in the mid-term, and the final team battle is final!"
"The difference is that ROX focuses on the upper half, while Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming in the bottom lane prefer defensive development; while VG is good at attacking the lower half, and Brother Long prefers line defense. The main points of attack of the two teams are completely different..."
"In other words, the two teams are a bit like centrally symmetrical versions of their enemies," he concluded. "In this semifinal, it depends on whether VG breaks through the bottom half of ROX first, or whether the Tigers are the first to break into the road through linkage!"
The director switched to the battle loss ratio of the ten players.
"Xiao Gu's KDA is as high as 6.9. This should be the player with the highest battle-loss ratio in this World Championship," the baby said with a smile, "Looking at the KDA alone, he looks like a factory director."
"Peanut's battle loss ratio is 4.3. The combined number of the two is a bit weird..." Miller paused.
Mingkai's 4,396 damage points against the Tigers in the quarter-finals has now become a meme, circulating on major e-sports forums.
It’s not like Miller doesn’t surf, so he knows all about it.
"Who are you hinting at?" Doll also fanned the flames.
The barrage in the LPL match live broadcast room all started to show 4396.
As a seasoned veteran, Wawa is well versed in the principle of when enough is enough. He immediately corrected his attitude and changed the subject, "In terms of the use of heroes, the Dragon King pulled out by the wave 5 on the pants is a noteworthy point."
"I looked at Mr. Hou's qualifying records in the past few days. He has never used Dragon King, and he doesn't seem to be planning to practice..."
The camera shows the players' seats of both teams.
Gu Xing shook Nuan Baobao, his expression was very relaxed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he typed on the keyboard from time to time.
Little Peanut on the other side reached up and brushed his hair. He sat on the chair and kept shaking his legs. He seemed to have seen something funny and smiled brightly.
"The two junglers have a good personal relationship," Miller said about off-court matters. "I saw that they took a lot of photos together. Now that I think about it, it feels a bit like 'another me in the world.'"
"He is very proficient in the pioneering wild core style of play, his style is extremely fierce, and his personality is very cheerful and upbeat..." Watanaru counted in detail with his fingers.
"And there are teammates who want revenge and return to the top," Miller added, "even the targets of revenge are the same, they are all SKT!"
"ROX, as the runner-up in last year's World Championship, definitely wants to break out of the siege and break through the bottom half to seek revenge on SKT. VG has S5 champion Easyhoon, but it's also difficult to reconcile..."
He is very aware of the causes and consequences of last year's semifinals when Lee Ji-hoon led 2-0 and was replaced by Faker.
Although Lee Ji-hoon has never expressed dissatisfaction with SKT in interviews on various occasions, Miller does not believe that Easyhoon is not angry.
The two teams in this semifinals both have an "indissoluble bond" with SKT.
They are competing for more than just tickets to the finals.
It’s a rare opportunity for revenge!
Because of this, Smeb was very dissatisfied with the playful and smiling little peanut next to him.
"Wang Hao, can you be more serious about the game?" He complained, "If you want to get close to Virtue, please wait until after the game!"
Little Peanut had his own theory, "Brother Jinghao, you don't understand. You have to scream and play in the game, right brother Rui Xing?"
He turned his head and looked at his mid laner.
However, he found that Panro, who had a simple and honest face, now had a sullen face and looked bitter and resentful.
Looking at the ID of the opponent's mid laner in the custom room, Panro can recall the scene of being beaten by Easyhoon in the S5LCK spring finals.
Good to die, the version environment at that time was also dominated by traditional mages in the middle lane, exactly the same as now!
At that time, Li Zhixun was teaching Li Zhixun's backhand, which almost gave him a psychological shadow!
Pantro pulled the Rock Tiger logo on his chest, trying to calm down.
He repeatedly provided psychological comfort. The opponent's mid laner was one and a half years older and his condition must have declined.
The advantage is mine!
The referee, who had a communication and microphone volume device on his waist, adjusted the headset, confirmed it was correct, and said:
"Both players are ready, the top laner on the blue side can start the game..." meb didn't say much and clicked the mouse quickly.
The next moment, a sonorous sound filled my ears.
With the system background music, the BP panel is presented to everyone!
The Haier brothers rested for a few days, and now their voices are high and powerful, "BP of the first game has officially begun. The Tigers won the right to choose the side and got the blue side for themselves!"
After reaching the semi-finals, the lead in the group stage rankings no longer exists.
You have to guess the direction of the coin to determine the right to choose the side.
Who would have thought that gambling with coins would not work today.
Jin Wenhyuk guessed the wordless side, but it turned out that it didn't work either.
They can only hand over the right to choose sides to the Tigers.
"ROX comes up and bans Syndra first, while VG bans Nidalee the Leopard!"
These are all regular forbidden bits, and I’m used to them, so continue reading.
"The Tigers' second-hand blockade of the blind monk was aimed at Xiao Gu..." Miller guessed a little, "They wouldn't want to replicate Samsung's first-game BP in the quarterfinals, right?" SG had three bans for the jungle at the time, and in the end it was still
Gu Xing used the spider to smoothly drive the rhythm of the whole scene.
In the past two days, someone on the Korean forum made a review video, criticizing Coach Edgar's BP idea in the first game, and believed that Samsung should not invest too many ban positions in Gu Xing, and the returns obtained would not be able to meet expectations.
However, most netizens think this is just an afterthought.
Many people think there is nothing wrong with Edgar's decision to try to kill Gu Xing by starting with BP in the first game.
If the VG wild father can be restrained, the next few games will be much easier!
Miller felt like Tigers coach Nofe wanted to try again this inning.
However, he was wrong.
"VG blocked the Dragon King, making it impossible for Rox to get his favorite hero...ROX gave the last ban position to Zyra, who is in the lower tier!"
The Tigers only blocked the character of Blind Sin.
Hongmi was pacing behind the VG player seats.
"The opponent may grab Olaf first, which is an opportunity," he frowned at Gu Xing, "Gu, do you want to throw away your trump card directly?"
Hongmi also specifically uses the Chinese word for sales.
Although his Mandarin skills are not up to standard, it is his strange accent that makes him sound like Gu Chengbin when he first called him Gu Xing.
Gu Xing was almost immune to this nickname now, and answered Hongmi's question with a normal expression.
"Use it, you're already hiding in the semi-finals, what should I do if I hide in S7?"
Before the game, he and Hongmi had a debate over whether to open the game and reveal their cards.
Hme feels like it can be a steady hand, and if the game goes well, it can even be used until the finals.
However, Gu Xing wanted to put pressure on ROX and let ROX show its flaws.
Neither of them convinced the other.
Who would have thought that ROX's BP idea in this round would be perfectly restrained by VG's trump card!
Hongmi is not an old-fashioned person who doesn’t know how to adapt.
The other party's flaws were exposed so obviously, and it would be unreasonable if I didn't accept it and instead became entangled in it.
After hearing Gu Xing's affirmative answer, Hongmi readily agreed and sent Kenan to the blocked position.
Coach Nofe in the pilot shot smiled and shook his head.
In the picture, he is wearing a white shirt, a black thermal jacket, casual pants and sneakers.
It looks lively and doesn't look like the head coach's dressing style.
Compared with Hongmi, who wears suits on stage all the time, it is always a bit inconsistent.
Mainly because I have no money.
Nofe's salary is that small. Last year he led the team to second place and didn't get a salary increase. He still had to save for his wedding.
Better suits are too expensive for him, and they are only worn on stage, so they are not very practical.
Anyway, wearing this casual outfit does not violate the rules of the Riot Games, and Nofe doesn’t want to spend more money on a suit.
"Hongmi is very smart, he can think of Kenan's skills."
Nofe just saw that the four people except Xiao Peanut looked too serious, and was worried that the team members were too nervous and would affect the operation. At this time, he made some small talk to try to make the players relax.
He only banned the blind monk not only to restrict Gu Xing.
Nofe wants to steal Olaf.
And Li Qing is one of the few strong men in the current version who can compete with the Berserker in the jungle.
Even if the Blind Sin cannot defeat Olaf in a 1v1 duel, he can still put pressure on the three lanes.
Non-displacement squishy guys are afraid of roundhouse kicks.
With the blind monk disabled and ROX grabbing Olaf, the other characters chosen by Gu Xing are destined to be at a disadvantage in the matchup!
Another purpose is to pave the way for Kenan. Meb's proficiency in electric mice is just one word.
Absolutely.
But the blind monk's R [Dragon Swinging Tail] is very restrained from Kennen's forced entry and can kick Kennen away!
Based on the comprehensive consideration of these two factors, Nofe blocked the blind monk.
As a result, the only powerful character that can resist Kennen's ultimate move to force a group start is Nami who can rely on R [Howl of the Furious Wave] to block the entry of Nami.
However, Nami’s bottom lane strength is relatively average.
If VG forcibly chooses Nami to deal with Kennen, the intensity of the duo's confrontation will inevitably drop by a notch.
In that case, it will be difficult for VG to rely on the bottom lane to open up the situation in the laning phase!
Nofe's abacus was ringing loudly.
As a result, Redmi directly banned Kenan and refused to let Smeb use it at all.
Break the trap from the root!
"Let's take Olaf first," Nofe stabilized his mind and acted according to the original plan, "Wang Hao, be aggressive, and the rest of the team will help you."
Little Peanut nodded repeatedly.
See the Berserker’s iconic beard appearing in the hero selection box on the first floor of ROX.
Hongmi suddenly smiled crookedly.
This scene was captured on camera and projected on the big screen.
There was sporadic laughter in Madison Garden.
Miller was also very curious, "What does Hongmi's expression mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw VG quickly reveal and lock the character.
"The bottom lane combination of Karma + Jin is currently a relatively powerful conventional single-point hero, so there is no problem..."
Miller couldn't figure out why Hongmi was laughing, so he could only continue to explain with full of doubts.
"ROX got Ryze and Ice, both of whom are good at their respective positions. Pray's Ice, in particular, has repeatedly made great achievements in the LCK Summer Split!"
Pray used Ice in a total of 14 games throughout the summer split. It is his most commonly used hero, and his winning rate is close to 80%!
Ryze's level is also pretty good. After Dragon King was banned, he is the only roaming mid laner left.
He didn't want to trade reinforcements with Li Zhixun in the middle.
I also know very well that in terms of carry ability in mid- to late-game team battles, he is not as good as Hou Ye.
Finding your area of expertise is the key!
Isn't it a beautiful thing to select Ryze, push the line of troops in the middle, and use his ultimate move into the jungle to link up with Little Peanut when he finds an opportunity?
Pantro can always be used as a pendant for junglers.
After all, the most affected line in the jungle is the middle lane. If the mid laner is an Earthbound Spirit, the jungler will definitely not have any good juice to eat.
vice versa.
Hongmi nodded slightly, as if he had everything under control.
Commander Li Zhixun selects the hero.
"Victor and Troll," Wawa continued, "I gave Xiao Gu the third position. I want him to see the full lineup of ROX before making a decision..."
Miller was still making jokes, "It's a pity that the cooldown of Troll's pillar has been cut, otherwise VG's Troll + Jin duo can still be used in the summer playoffs."
At that time, the idea of setting up a small pillar to block the position, and then letting go to control the person with a cold gun made many viewers shine.
As a result, the routine did not survive the World Championship, so the designer increased the late-stage cooldown of Trundle E [Pillar of Ice] by three seconds, clearly targeting VG's auxiliary troll!
"The top laner Long Ge is quite stable when using Troll, although the effect is not as good as the duo's ability to cooperate in team battles."
The doll said so.
Nofe, who was behind the ROX player bench, was overjoyed.
"Jesus!" He quickly arranged for his team members to lock down the Piltover Second Battalion Commander.
Jace is perfect for dealing with bulky characters like trolls.
Even if the troll blocks the position with pillars and pursues it, Jace can knock it away by turning in E [Thunder Blow].
Moreover, Smeb hero is also very proficient. If you choose him, he will definitely put enough pressure on the top lane!
Then get Nami and give it to Grella, trying to stabilize the situation in the bottom lane.
Seeing that ROX selected Jayce, Hongmi finally stopped trying to hide it, and her lips almost turned into a slit.
He walked up behind Gu Xing and gave his jungler a massage, "Behave well, I believe in you."
The translator next to him, Jin Wenhe, felt that his job was being robbed. After a moment's hesitation, he went behind Mr. Hou and helped him squeeze his shoulders and back, trying to show his presence.
Xiao Duan solicits the opinions of his teammates, and after they all agree, he locks in the last hero in the lineup.
The round-faced yordle with twin ponytails holds a giant warhammer that is completely inconsistent with his figure and has a resolute face.
"Bobby?!"
The doll blurted out with wide eyes.
"Ah this..." Miller was stunned, "What's going on?"
There was a lot of noise and bustle in Madison Garden and spread in the stands.
Little Peanut frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
"Now the question is who will fight in the wild?" the doll began to yell in a familiar voice, "Troll or Poppy?"
The ter position of the red side VG has been selected, and ten players from both sides exchange heroes.
Gu Xing, with the cooperation of Brother Long, switched Poppy and Troll back and forth, with a bright and happy smile on his face.
"The time is coming, hurry up and change it back!" Seeing that the deadline was approaching, Zhu Xiaolong quickly got his signature hero.
It turns out that until you enter the game, you can keep changing characters and make the opponent confused.
However, Riot Games has believed that this model is very unfair to the enemy in recent years, and players cannot change rune talents in a timely manner in an open and transparent manner.
Therefore, in the current competition rules, after 20 seconds are left in the countdown to loading into the canyon, all players are not allowed to swap heroes, otherwise they will be punished and have to draft again.
The true face of VG’s jungler finally emerged.
"Jungle troll!" Miller frowned, "Is this possible?"
He has no impression of the troll jungler at all.
The doll also looked troubled.
The director will give the data in a timely manner.
"This is the first time a troll jungler has appeared in the five major leagues this year. Looking at the history of the league, it is also the third time that a troll jungler has appeared in the jungle position!" He was stunned for a moment, "The question is, who are the first two? According to the director's information
Not very comprehensive…”
The audience in the LPL match live broadcast room was confused and started talking about it.
[Troll jungler? Xiao Gu, you are really awesome! 】
[You dare to move any black technology to the top, and you will use bigger tricks at the beginning of the semi-finals, right?]
[If you don’t understand, just ask, can this hero kill wild monsters?]
[Heroes who don’t even have the slightest amount of area damage can also play jungle. Xiao Gu, aren’t you here to play tricks on me? 】
[Heavy reward is offered to the first two players who use Troll to jungle. Please tell me the answer! 】
Gu Pan, who had just arrived in the study room, saw the barrage and asked his friends in a low voice, "Does Gu Biao have anything to say about this troll jungler?"
"I don't know..." Shen Guanshan looked confused, "I can't figure it out. Is there something wrong?"
Not only the Haier brothers but the audience were confused.
Some people in ROX were also confused.
"What the hell?" Little Peanut became more and more uneasy, "What is he doing?"
Unplanned changes caught Peanut off guard and made him feel a little panicked.
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise!" Gloria, nicknamed "Dad," acts as the big brother, "Attitude is important here!"
Nofe is also trying to stabilize the morale of the army, "I remember that Hon Jin chose a troll jungler once before. Just that one time, when was it..."
He thought hard, trying to recall the past games.
"It was the game against Imirale in the summer split last year." Smeb had a vague impression.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Pray also remembered, "How were you playing with Hon at that time?" Meb blinked and said nothing.
There was an awkward silence among the Tigers.
"I can't," Smeb muttered in a low voice at the end, "We are not junglers."
"It would be great if Hon was here," Pray clicked his tongue, "It would be great to pull him over and give him to Brother Lu Zhe for you to attack!"
Nofe stretched out his hand towards him, "Will the extra salary be deducted from your salary?"
Last year when the Tigers were still called KOO Tiger, Hon Jin was the jungler of the team.
After the S5 World Championship, he bid farewell to the professional arena as the runner-up and officially retired. Later, the Tigers found a little peanut to replace him.
Now Hon Jin is probably serving in the military near the 38th Parallel, playing real-life CS with his North Korean brothers, so he definitely doesn’t have time to teach Peanut how to fight against trolls.
Coach Nofe simply enlivened the team atmosphere and told Xiaohua not to take VG's weird formation changes to heart, and just do his best. Then he took off his headphones and went to the center of the stage to shake hands with Hongmi.
But in Peanut's opinion, this comfort was a bit weak.
Just when Little Peanut was at a loss what to do, a beautiful voice like the sounds of nature sounded.
"I remembered!" Pantro, who had been invisible before, said excitedly.
Little Peanut became energetic and said, "Tell me the details!"
As a result, Panro's next sentence extinguished his hopes, "Hon Jin was thinking that the opponent was too good at that time, so he was messing around!"
Imirale was at the bottom of the 2015 LCK Summer Split. As long as it was a playoff-level team, it was easy to play against them.
KOO is no exception.
Hon Jin randomly clicked a troll, which was purely a joke, and the final game ended with the Tigers winning easily.
Little Peanut took a deep breath after hearing this, "Brother Rui Xing, you are really..."
Does this mean that Gu Xing chose the troll because he looked down on him?
How can it be!
"Let's liven up the atmosphere, show off your leg-shaking spirit before the game," Pantro appeased the little jungler, "Gu Gu probably just wants to cooperate and catch them all. The main E's auxiliary troll can't be played, but the jungler can't play.
The wild ones can be selected and used.”
"After all, the troll can't beat Jace, but Bobby will feel better..."
He recounted the performance of the Trolls in his memory, "Hojin uses the purple jungle knife, and then the Eye Stone Bird Shield. The main thing is the pile of functional equipment."
Purple jungle knife?
Little Peanut pursed her lips.
This equipment has been removed this year.
Originally it was used by heroes who needed jungle clearing efficiency, but the mechanism of Purple Smite that can cause area damage and stun wild monsters was too outrageous. For a period of time, there was a situation where everything could be jungled.
Riot Games did not expect players to be able to use the purple jungle knife to their advantage. In line with the principle of teaching everyone how to play the game, they directly deleted the purple knife.
But fortunately, Xiao Peanut can also figure out the gameplay of troll jungle from the details.
"He must use Tiamat, otherwise he won't be able to clear out the wild monsters at all," Peanut shared his thoughts with his teammates. "And the main point of attack must be the bottom lane. Everyone must be careful. I will try my best to delay his Tiamat."
Extraordinary speed!"
Pray, the oldest member of the team, said, "We will definitely win today. Don't panic, just play it slow and steady!"
"We still have to go to SKT for revenge!"
The Tigers player agreed solemnly.
They have a reason to go to the finals!
From the perspective of watching the game, the director lens focuses on the center of the stage.
Nofe and Hongmi walked to the Summoner's Trophy and held hands.
The two briefly communicated for a moment before going their separate ways and returning to the stage.
The camera zoomed out, and the lineups of both sides were once again presented to the audience.
Blue side ROX: top laner Jayce, jungler Olaf, mid laner Ryze, bottom laner Han Bing + Nami.
Red side VG: top laner Bobby, jungler Troll, mid laner Victor, bottom laner + Karma.
"Judging from the lineup alone, both sides have got a combination of roles that match their own styles." Miller suppressed his doubts about the Troll jungler and concentrated on analyzing the lineup. "VG mainly focuses on the bottom half, and the top lane allows Brother Long's wave
Better to endure stress than to be honest.”
"ROX attacks from above, trying to let Smeb establish an advantage in the laning phase, and use Jess's strength to advance from the side and poke in the mid-term!"
Wawa answered, "It's worth mentioning that Xiao Gu's troll jungler is equipped with the current extremely high-intensity sprint, not flash!"
As the game began, the number of viewers in the LPL live broadcast room expanded.
Except for the matchup itself between the No. 1 seeds in the China-South Korea division.
The grievances and hatreds between the players also attracted a lot of attention.
The cheers and cheers in Madison Garden were endless, coming from all directions!
There were a large number of VG fans at the scene, excluding the international student groups, and their pleasing style of play attracted them a large number of fans from the beginning of the group stage.
The huge momentum created at this moment is enough to prove its popularity!
But when facing ROX, they were still at a disadvantage.
Due to the success of the Korean League's overseas work, plus the four familiar faces from last year's World Championship runner-up lineup, as well as its own legendary experience and equally fierce playing style.
The cheers received by ROX soared into the sky!
During the delay between the director's adjustments to the real-time game, a short pre-match interview was also played.
Peanut has striking gray hair.
"I am an old acquaintance with Virtue player, and I know how strong he is. When he defeated SSG, I knew that I would have a tough battle," Xiaohuahua spoke highly of it, and then changed the subject, "But
It doesn’t matter, I have enough confidence to defeat him!”
When the camera turned, Gu Xingtuan, who was still smiling brightly, was sitting on the chair.
"Little Peanut and I are very close friends, but when it comes to the competition, it actually arouses my desire to win," he said, his voice gentle and approachable, "Only one team can enter the finals, and I want to stand
Take a look at the scenery from a higher place..."
When the screen fades, what appears in front of everyone's eyes is Summoner's Rift!
The signal sounds continuously.
Ten players stand along the river.
Olaf, operated by Little Peanut, held an ax and faced Gu Xing across the river, and also showed the ROX Rock Tiger team logo.
Gu Xing flashed his backhand, and even controlled the troll to dance on the spot.
The dancing is very good.
Trundle was carrying a big stick and swinging his big feet. His movements were extremely ugly, and he could rival the Desert God of Death.
The time comes to 1 minute and 30 seconds.
No conflict broke out between the two sides.
Underneath the quiet and uneventful battlefield, an undercurrent surges.
"The ice on the opposite side should be able to cast a line. There is a high probability that you will learn E at level 2!" Imp reminded Gu Xing.
The Tigers' bottom lane combination is Han Bing + Nami. In terms of their ability to push the lane and grab second place, they are definitely not as good as the VG duo.
Imp feels that the enemy is likely to give up the first two levels of combat and use an Eagle Spirit to explore the wild areas.
"I know..." Gu Xing was already prepared.
After all, I chose a non-mainstream troll jungler.
ROX was caught off guard, and it made sense for Hanbing to cast Eagle Spirit to see his own jungle path.
In contrast, the route of Little Peanut on the opposite side is basically a well-known route.
Olaf, who was short of blue in the jungle in the early stage, was destined to start with the blue BUFF in the upper half, and then brush all the way down.
Gu Xing chose to open the field from the stone beetle above, and in the same direction as the little peanut.
It can only be said that there is indeed a reason why no one uses trolls to jungle in this version.
Before Tiamat, the efficiency of farming was really low.
Fortunately, the current version of the stone beetle will not split up yet, and there are only two people in the family, so it is not troublesome to farm the trolls.
In terms of farming, the only good news is that Trolls have great battery life.
Rely on the passive [King's Tribute] to steal tributes crazily and kill wild monsters to gain decent blood recovery.
Coupled with the [Gift of Heavy Hands] buff obtained from the Punishment Stone Beetle, the health value is still close to full after the red BUFF is cleared.
Gu Xing moved directly down without even looking at F4.
During this period, cut the screen to watch the situation in the middle.
Marquis's Victor is pressing the line.
Among the strong mid laners in the World Championship version, there are not many heroes who can compete with Victor in the first two levels. After all, he has Q [Siphon Energy], shield and damage, and his exchange strength is outstanding.
At least Ryze doesn't have this ability.
The blue-skinned man must wait until he has all the skills at level 3 before he can win a small victory over Victor in pushing lanes and duels.
Gu Xing put a mark on the mini-map to warn Li Zhixun that Little Peanut might reach level 3 and enter the lower half to attack the middle lane.
The Marquis has not been purified. Once Ryze flashes EW and freezes him, Olaf may sprint and kill him.
"I'll help you make wards in the lower bushes, and you can insert the ones above." Gu Xing did not clear the jungle, but first went to the lower river to set up wards to ensure the safety of his teammates.
Li Zhixun obeyed his advice.
His goal in this game was to drag Ryze in his pants in the middle, unable to move.
Everyone develops steadily, and Victor will definitely be stronger than Ryze in the later stage.
In this case, if you don't die during the laning period, it will be considered a success!
As soon as Gu Xing took his eye position, an eagle spirit pierced the sky and flew over the area above his head.
After Pray finished eating the first three melee soldiers of the second wave of minions, they were upgraded to level 2, so he quickly came to explore the field of view.
"The location is exposed, but the problem is not big." Gu Xing informed his teammates of the information, returned to the wild area, ate a single group of camp marsh frogs, and successfully upgraded to level three.
He commanded his teammates in his voice, "Wait for the artillery soldiers to come, push the line in from the bottom lane, and push back to get the line out."
"OK OK..." Xiao Duan responded, walked into the grass closest to the Tigers' lower tower, and began to put pressure on the opponent.
Gloria did not dare to move forward for fear of being consumed by Duan Deliang's Karma with RQ.
The ROX team is also conducting frequent and efficient communication.
"The troll has to be brushed up to eat the wild monsters and level up to level four," Little Peanut said very quickly, "I'm much faster than him!"
As long as Olaf knows how to control blood, he will clear the jungle very quickly.
Seeing that the game was approaching three minutes, Peanut had already finished the red buffs and had eaten five groups of wild monsters.
The efficiency of clearing the jungle is terrifying!
"The bottom line of soldiers is about to enter the tower. We can't clear the line. The line of soldiers will have to be pushed back later." Grilla was responsible for contacting Xiaoxiang. "If you have time, you can come over and help guard it."
The Tigers' bottom lane combination of Ice + Nami is very expensive and lacks range-clearing skills in the early stage.
In addition, Pray himself learned E [Eagle Strike in the Sky] at level 2 in order to detect Gu Xing's whereabouts. This means that he has one less skill when clearing the line, so he will naturally lose to the VG duo.
And it can't deal with big artillery vehicles with rough skin and thick flesh at all.
Most of the damage must be dealt by defensive towers, which will inevitably delay the attack for a long time.
When the fourth short wave of 3 minutes and 18 seconds arrives, the minions will be handed over in the lower tower of ROX and will be pushed to the VG direction after a short time.
Gloria was worried that Gu Xing would not play according to the routine. He had seen the videos of VG during the LPL period and knew how disgusting the combination of Troll Pillar + Jin W [Fatal Brilliance] was.
He and Pray are both short-legged and non-displaceable heroes, so being retained will basically mean death!
That's why Xiao Peanut was asked to help protect it as appropriate.
"No problem," Peanut agreed, "As long as I'm here, the trolls on the other side won't dare to attack!"
Take the first step to reach level 4. With double BUFFs in hand and the advantage in the number of minions pushing back in the bottom lane, you can't lose no matter how hard you think!
It took less than 3 minutes and 10 seconds to finish the last group of stone beetles.
When Little Peanut reached the bottom lane, the fourth wave of short lines happened to arrive in the ROX tower.
The army line was pushed forward little by little. Peanut did not reveal his position and did not intend to share experience. He just hid behind and acted as a security guard.
Once he sensed that VG wanted to take action, he started sprinting and rushed over to join the battle.
My nerves were tense, and time passed by minute by second.
The ROX minions have pushed past the center line, but the troll is still nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Little Peanut's back muscles relaxed slightly.
Help make an eye near the bottom road to ensure subsequent safety, then press B on the spot to return to the city.
While reading the article, I took a sip of ice water, prepared supplies of equipment and real eyes, and quickly started cleaning up the wild monsters for the second round.
As Olaf, the biggest advantage in the jungle is the time difference in clearing the jungle.
Little Peanut also understands this principle and cannot discard it in vain.
The two elders, Xuan Ming, quickly pushed the line of troops over, but they still couldn't see the position of the troll. They finally took the time to signal the upper and middle single line to explain the situation.
When the Eagle Spirit illuminated the troll's figure previously, it obtained the number of last hits and level information.
They knew that Gu Xing had a group of F4 in the upper half of the area but did not brush it.
In the route deduction, the troll should finish the wild monsters in the lower half of the area, either fight crabs or go back up to finish F4, and then return to the city to buy the jungle knife.
Now that the bottom lane has been dealt with, the most dangerous ones are the top and middle lanes.
Miller on the commentary desk stared closely at the canyon, not wanting to miss any detail.
"The small section of Karma's RQ knocked down the minions under the tower to residual health. Imp's dancing grenade combined with basic attacks successfully cleared the troop line quickly!"
The powerful abilities of the VG duo are undoubtedly demonstrated.
The clearing speed is really ridiculously fast.
Especially since there are no artillery carts in this wave of pushback lines, they are all melee and long-range minions. Imp and Xiao Duan can wipe them all out with two skills.
The troop line is reset to the middle line of the bottom lane.
This time Pray has upgraded to level 3. He no longer wants to passively let VG hoard lanes, so he stepped forward and used the range advantage of ice to pull out a small section of arrows. W [Thousands of Arrows] will cause area damage, and prepare to attack Grela's attack.
Try to maintain the balance of the army line with help.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"Xiao Gu's movement route is very strange. He is still on the bottom lane, and now he sprints out from behind," Miller said with high emotion, "The speed of movement is quite fast!"
The Troll King felt wind at his feet, rushed out of the protection range of his next tower, and appeared in front of the ROX duo!
Although Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming have been competing in the professional arena for many years, they never expected that Gu Xing would still be on the bottom lane when it was close to 4 minutes!
The hero's sight range is no more than 1350 yards.
By the time the two of them saw Gu Xing's figure, it was too late.
With the blessing of sprinting, the troll quickly closed the distance between the two sides!
"The small piece of Karma then uses E to speed up the troll..." The doll's voice became shrill with excitement, "Xiao Gu gave me the icicle!"
The maximum casting range of Troll's icicle is 1000 yards.
Gu Xing relied on the double acceleration of sprinting and Karma's E [Inspire] to easily bring the opponent Nami into the hunting range.
Icicle Qingtian is stuck behind Nami!
The icicles exuding cold air and slowing down the area blocked Grella's retreat.
Without saying a word, he decisively dodged through the icicles.
However, it did not escape the slowdown range, and its movement speed was much lower than usual.
"Pray gave a healing spell and wanted to help his teammates escape... Xiao Duan's flash was very decisive!"
Karma's inner flame hit successfully and slowed down Nami again.
Imp then handed over W [Deadly Glory]!
Gloria twisted his waist and tried to hide, but the slowing debuff affected him too much.
Nami's fish tail swung hard, but she still couldn't escape the fatal sniper attack!
"Beautiful!" Miller couldn't stand the excitement. "The imprisonment hit, Karma tied the spiritual chain, and the control was perfectly connected!"
The spectators in the stands on all sides also anticipated what would happen next, and immediately burst into cheers and cheers!
Gu Xing accelerated by sprinting, rushed over in a few steps, picked up the big stick and hit Nami on the body.
"Nami's body is too fragile and she has no resistance. Pray can only sell her teammates!"
Gu Xing deliberately wanted to collect this head.
The bottom duo also knew that their jungler had paid a lot for this gank, and had no intention of grabbing first blood.
In the end, the troll took away Nami's life with a basic attack!
