Miller tore his vocal cords wantonly, his voice distorted, and expressed his inner excitement, "With two match points in hand, VG pushed ROX into a desperate situation!"
"The direction of this wave of 5 is unexpected," Wawa said in an equally enthusiastic tone, "VG's performance after getting the backhand lineup was very eye-catching. Whether it was mid-term operations or mid-to-late team battle handling, it was flawless.
!”
"Xiao Gu and Imp completely dominated the battle. With the best protection of the other three teammates, their wave output was at full capacity and the battlefield was cleaned up!"
Seeing Qian Jue's last basic attack destroying the ROX base crystal, Shen Guanshan let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense body suddenly relaxed.
In the team battles in the middle and late stages of the entire game, VG was like a ship fighting against the waves. Although the Tigers seemed to be on the verge of collapse under the stormy offensive, in the end they narrowly failed to capsize.
Gu Pan's facial expression also relaxed visibly.
She didn't understand the game very well. She saw that VG's economic advantage was getting bigger and bigger from the mid-term, but they were still passively responding to the challenge. She couldn't figure out the specific reason, and her heart was always hanging high, for fear that the team would be overturned.
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room also had the same idea.
[Guigui...ROX's charge is really fierce, I'm worried that VG can't stop it]
[The Tigers are ruthless enough. Smeb’s entry into the field is a thunderbolt. If it weren’t for VG’s powerful backhand, Kennen might have taken off!]
[VG’s teamfighting level is too fierce. I haven’t seen the second team except SKT perform this extreme backhand lineup.]
【How have times changed? VG was able to get match points from the Tigers!】
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! I must be dazzled]
[VG is so outrageous that a shark can be found in the LPL fish pond!]
When Shen Guanshan saw the barrage covering the live broadcast, he quickly stretched out his finger to turn it off.
Seeing her boyfriend in the camera, she lay back on the table with satisfaction.
Gu Xing stood up, raised his lips and high-fived his teammates.
"Nie... well done, brothers!" His voice was filled with endless joy, and he didn't forget to pat Li Zhixun on the shoulder.
Easyhoon fulfilled his promise during this team fight.
As long as he is still alive, it is absolutely impossible for Gu Xing to die.
E [Encourage] plus the additional recovery from the Holy Grail, ensure that your jungler survives safely in team battles!
In addition, the incense burner's shield milk volume bonus and attack speed increase also greatly improve Gu Xing's combat effectiveness!
Li Zhixun forced a smile, his face turned a little pale, and he rubbed his frown in an effort to relax himself.
The mid laner Karma he chose in this game seems to be very easy to fight in the team battle. He only needs to give all the shields to the two output points in the back row.
But the truth is far from being as simple as imagined.
ROX is too strong.
Rao is that VG's vision layout is very standard in the balance of power and when gaining an advantage in the follow-up.
But the Rock Tiger can always find unexpected positions and launch ferocious offensives at weird times!
They also work well together and have a unique understanding of team battles.
They won't deal damage instantly. Because of the lack of lineup control, Gu Xing's Kindred can always use his ultimate move.
ROX simply kept some of its skills, and when Kindred opened up, let Little Peanut kick the back row out of the range of the Sheep Spirit Resurrection Sanctuary, and then throw them all out to kill them instantly!
In this case, Li Zhixun had to provide a shield for Gu Xing in the shortest possible time, and even used his body to resist the opponent's skills.
The reaction speed of the older mid laner Easyhoon is not as agile as that of Xiao Duan.
All he can rely on is experience.
Li Zhixun made pre-calculations in his mind of all the instant-kill skills that ROX might throw out in advance, and designed a solution!
Just wait until the chaotic team battle to perform the corresponding operations, and the demand on your own reaction speed will not be too high.
A style of play similar to experience summary is very suitable for veteran players who have enough game experience to support themselves in thinking about the trend of team battles.
But even so.
The powerful impact of ROX sometimes makes it difficult for Li Zhixun to guard against it!
Moreover, there are too many details to consider in Easyhoon's style of play. Unlike operational players, who can react purely by talent and hand speed, the mental consumption is relatively small, and it is okay to sustain a whole wave of 5 with high intensity.
Gu Xing is a typical example.
His operation relies on reaction, and his command relies on consciousness.
The two don't delay each other, and coupled with being young and in good health, they can completely withstand it.
After Li Zhixun finished the game, his mind turned into a lake of slurry. He took off his headphones and couldn't calm down for a while.
Gu Xing put his arm around Imp's increasingly rounded shoulders, and the two of them sang and boasted.
"I just bought mercury for the last round, but pfft, pfft, you shot the crystal arrow and knocked out the little peanut. I didn't even have a chance to use it!"
He made the mercury scimitar mainly to counter the blind monk's ultimate move.
Although the Dragon's Tail Swing is used to knock the player into the air, this version of Mercury can now use displacement skills or flash in advance after being used in the air.
Gu Xing only needs to activate mercury when the blind monk raises his foot to kick out his ultimate move, and then uses Q [Dance of Arrows] to widen the distance laterally and avoid being kicked by the dragon's tail. He will be 800 yards away from the Sheep Spirit Life.
.
As long as he can stay within the shelter of the sheep spirit, he can enjoy the health recovery effect of the level 3 ultimate move, and with Nami and Karma's shield + treatment, ROX has no way to defeat Gu Xing!
Imp was still replying carelessly, "I can't help it, who made me react too quickly? The hot blind monk on the other side couldn't get in at all!"
He looked as usual.
Although both Goo Sung Bin and Lee Ji Hoon are veteran players who started their careers in the S2 season.
But he was much younger than the Marquis at that time!
Koo Sungbin, who was born in 1995, is only 21 years old now, which is similar to SKT’s 96Line who was at its peak.
Moreover, the ADC is relatively less interested in ideas. What he needs is hard operations and crazy walking and slashing. If his hand speed is fast enough, he has a natural advantage in this position.
After quitting drinking, Goo Sungbin was still full of energy after playing three games. The excitement after winning has not yet been digested. It seems that there is no problem in playing a few more games!
Duan Deliang was still adjusting his breathing.
He could feel his heart beating violently in his chest, and his fingertips were trembling as he grabbed the paper cup and poured ice into his mouth.
Zhu Xiaolong had a stocky figure, and his gentle and generous face was full of excitement. He hooked Duan Deliang's neck and kept shaking.
The 22,350 spectators in Madison Garden cheered for the winner of this game, and many people were immersed in the suffocating attack and defense of the team battle between the two sides.
When Gu Xing walked to the backstage, he heard the cheers from the supporters, and he was full of excitement and wanted them to be more enthusiastic.
The wave of celebrations also poured into the LCK commentary box.
Emperor Pao Xiao turned around. He was still some distance away from the main stage, and could only see the backs of players wearing Rock Tiger uniforms.
Even so, one can still read a bit of loneliness from the back view.
"I can only say..." Emperor Pao Xiao thought for a moment before coming to his senses, "I hope ROX can adjust in time. They are now forced into a desperate situation with no way out!"
Veteran commentator Jin Dongjun also echoed, "We should also have confidence in ROX, which is the No. 1 seed in our division!"
That's what he said.
But the well-informed Jin Dongjun has little confidence.
The plar next to him also pursed his lips.
The dominance of the Korean division is very strong, but the number one seed has always been somewhat unlucky. The 2 rules are still outrageous. There are a total of five seed teams, four of them will go directly to the quarterfinals, and the remaining one will advance to the group stage.
Fair play system.
South Korean seed Azubu Frost had a 20% chance of being selected to play in the group stage. Although it went smoothly, he eventually lost to Assassin Star in the finals.
plar is a member of the team. He retired after winning the runner-up position and became a commentator. The mid laner Fast Star is working as a coach at EDG. 3OGN's seed seat is Naji n Black Sword, and the top four were overthrown by the rising SKT in a civil war. 4
The No. 1 seed was the famous Samsung Blue, and in the semi-finals, they were swept by their brothers Samsung White in an almost humiliating way. The three rounds lasted only 1 hour and 23 minutes!
South Korea has participated in a total of four world championships and won three of them. Among the number one seeds, only SKT in 2015 reached the top of the world as the king.
It can be said that life has many misfortunes, and most of them are unlucky.
Jin Dongjun, who had witnessed the fate of the No. 1 seed pulling his crotch all the way, could only use these words to appease the audience. He himself was worried.
Plar was afraid that if he continued talking, he would touch upon his old memories of mentioning South Korea's first League of Legends world runner-up, so he quickly changed the subject.
"The forced rush system the Tigers adopted in the last game was their best lineup this year. However, they were still held back by backhand defense when facing VG. In the end, Virtue and Imp won the team battle," he believes that the situation is not optimistic.
, "If conventional ideas don't work, ROX must find other ways to win if it wants to make a comeback!"
The three Korean commentators kept talking to each other and making suggestions for ROX.
The MVP candidate of the third game was shown on the big screen. The venue was bustling with people and the momentum was stronger than before!
Emperor Xiaoxiao was distracted and hissed lightly when he saw the data.
"Really or not..." he murmured.
Little Peanut, who had just returned to the team lounge, also saw the MVP selection results.
In the makeup photo, Gu Xing and the sheep and wolf spirits clinging to each other behind him look very matched.
Battle damage ratio 9/2/11
Team output accounts for 35.5%
Counterpoint economic lead +3235
Damage conversion rate 123.7%
The four statistics are extremely luxurious in the jungle position.
Little Peanut lowered his head.
In fact, since the first head-to-head battle between the two sides broke out, in the eyes of professional players, the balance of victory and defeat in this game has been unbalanced.
After gathering the strength of the whole team, they failed to kill Gu Xing. Instead, they were destroyed by the harvest group, and even the big dragon was given to the opponent!
After getting a large amount of economy, Kindred can quickly replenish attack speed equipment and start making magic resistance defense equipment such as the Demon-Drinking Knife in advance.
The only ones in ROX that could threaten Gu Xing at that time were Kennen, Ryze who stacked double E to spread in Sheep Breath, and Zyra who threw skills and plants from a long distance.
Although he was harassed by Zhu Xiaolong's Ike from a distance, he couldn't hit Gu Xing at all.
Peanut's blind monk's output from the back is also very weak.
It can be said that when Gu Xing starts to make magic resistance equipment, the fatal threat that ROX can pose to VG's back row will gradually decrease!
Until the last wave of team battles, it was difficult for them to even touch Kindred, let alone kill him.
The spectators supporting the Tigers were still waving their flags and cheering when they saw the home team launching waves of manic attacks.
But ROX players know that the winning rate is getting lower and lower as time goes by.
The proud rushing system was shattered and VG got match points. Naturally, the members of the Tigers were frustrated.
Coach Nofe was also flustered, but he knew that if he showed his decadent side, ROX would completely explode!
He was still trying to encourage the players, "This game is caused by my BP being problematic, and everyone is already trying hard..."
It's just that the words are a little weak.
Nofe's lineup selection is particularly good, but that's not necessarily true.
But it's definitely not a crotch lift.
With the dual advantages of occupying the ban position and first pick on the blue side, it is true that the system was eventually forced to open and was tricked by Redmi, but overall, I got the lineup I wanted.
"I was led by Virtue at the beginning of my transfer period. It was really hurt..." Little Peanut blamed herself and regretted it.
He followed Gu Xing and ran back and forth for a minute, but in the end he caught nothing, not even the wild monsters!
On the contrary, VG carried out a four-pack and two-for-two, saving the duo's disadvantage.
If the two elders Xuan Ming can maintain their strong suppression, the final result of the Dalong team battle may be different!
Peanut's words reminded the Tigers members in the dugout of that nightmarish black minute.
The atmosphere became more solemn.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone," Smeb saw this and quickly tried to boost morale, "This wave is not over yet, we still have a chance!"
They said similar things after losing the first game.
The players all have antibodies and won't be able to cause much ripples.
The signature system has been cracked by VG.
The female gun cannot be released.
What other tricks are left?
Gloria thought of the past, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she came up with a brilliant idea.
"Wang Hao, this is how you will end the game..." He said his plan.
Little Peanut looked doubtful, "Is it possible?"
"Isn't that what we Xia Jie do?" Gloria explained, "Besides, do you have a better solution now?"
Peanut shook his head.
The Tigers ran out of cards and the next game is on the red side.
No matter how you think about it, it's a certain death situation.
Although Grella's method is completely different from ROX's usual style, it is indeed the only way to deal with it.
"It should be quite feasible," Pray said, regardless of whether it would work or not, he first established a psychological advantage for his teammates, "Don't forget we succeeded once!"
Thinking of the glorious moments of the LCK Summer Finals, the ROX players suddenly became confident.
Little Peanut's thoughts were agitated, and he couldn't help but smile maliciously.
…
"Little Peanut's blind monk comes directly to the third level, chases after him, and forces out the Marquis's double summons...ROX's midfielder and jungler double dodge to chase forward, and they have to kill by force even after entering the tower?!"
The dolls on the commentary table did not expect that Peanut Speed 3 would go straight to the middle lane. Seeing that the opponent's midfielder was ruthless and used his summoner skills as if they were free of charge, just to catch Li Zhixun to death, everyone was dumbfounded.
Easyhoon didn't expect it either.
In the first three games, Little Peanut took the initiative to come to the middle to catch very few times.
More often than not, the two sides in the middle lane are developing peacefully, silently using their hero advantage to seize lane rights, and there is no smell of gunpowder at all.
This is also in line with the basic concept of Peanut's main focus on the top lane and the secondary protection of the bottom lane.
He basically doesn't care about the middle.
As a result, Peanut's spearhead was aimed straight at the midline in this game, insisting on helping Panro establish an advantage!
Li Zhixun wants to be more stable.
But reality doesn’t allow it.
"Peanut is here again!" As Miller shouted urgently, the blind monk kicked the minion. The echo attack touched the back of Li Zhixun while moving, and kicked him to the crotch with the dragon's tail!
The simple and unpretentious In-color version of the roundhouse kick, which was amazing at the time, has now become a bad street kick that everyone can do if they have the skills.
But it’s easy to use.
After Lee Ji-hoon was killed in battle, he was silent as he watched the flash of recovery with 7 seconds remaining.
Gu Xing still regarded the bottom lane as a breakthrough.
He also had a tacit understanding with the duo. When Peanut was hitting the target frequently, he used Olaf to catch both Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming to death once each.
Even the first blood tower was demolished in advance.
However, Little Peanut doesn’t want to make up for the loss in the bottom lane at all.
He just stared at the middle and grabbed hard!
"You're still here?" The doll couldn't help but accuse, "Little Peanut, what are you doing...Smeb is coming too?"
Little Peanut knew that Li Zhixun had a chance to dodge this time, so he didn't use a roundhouse kick, but simply flashed RQQ, and together with the crotchless Victor, they fired a burst of damage first. Meb's Rambo rushed into the tower and just used barbecue flames to make up for the damage.
Thirteen minutes into the game, Easyhoon, known as the defensive tower in the middle, suffered his third death!
After being killed twice, Gu Xing was no longer able to help. The middle and jungle 2v2 was destined to be no match for him.
He could only try his best to relieve the pressure.
It's a pity that ROX is unreasonable in the middle and jungle, and uses the output forcefully to kill!
"But it's difficult for the Tigers to move out of this position. Smeb doesn't have much HP left after resisting two tower hits. Xiao Gu comes from behind and wants to kill him!"
The doll thought that Smeb would definitely die.
As a result, Little Peanut helped to fight the tower, but after being reduced to residual health, he saw a bombardment from the defense tower trying to take him away.
Pray suddenly appeared in the middle and treated everyone with a flash!
As a result, Little Peanut was not killed. Pray blocked another shelling and helped his teammates escape successfully!
"Oh my God... ROX's turn-taking actions in this emergency situation are simply perfect!" Wawa also had to praise the Tigers' handling.
Under the camera, Li Zhixun is holding his forehead, and there is a crack in the usual facial expression of Gujing.
His brain became chaotic again and it was difficult to concentrate.
Pouring two more mouthfuls of ice water into your mouth will have minimal effect after repeated stimulation.
"The economic gap between the two sides is almost zero. This wave of team battles should be evenly matched..." As soon as the baby finished his words, Xiao Peanut entered the field and sold half a tube of blood to start the team battle.
VG's ability to pull and catch flaws is still strong.
However, after the output hit for a long time, ROX still had a lot of residual blood left, but he was still alive!
"The damage is not enough!" Miller lamented.
The consequences of Li Zhixun being caught repeatedly by Peanut were clearly revealed.
The team lacks damage.
Gu Xing chose Olaf, and top laner Long Ge still played Ekko to resist pressure.
Team battles mainly rely on double C and small-level Zyra.
After the mid laner Hou Ye died three times, he faced the dilemma of insufficient output in this S6 World Championship version which is recognized as overflowing with damage!
Zyra does high damage, but after all, it is a support, and it cannot keep up without economic equipment.
Lacking the damage from Marquis, ROX relied on Grella's bird shield to survive the critical team battle!
If faced with a novice team, VG will continue to drag it down, waiting for the opponent to make a comeback.
But as the world's top team, the Tigers seldom make mistakes after gaining an advantage in the mid-term.
After harvesting the dragon, he advanced all the way, cut through the mess quickly, and rushed to take action before Li Zhixun's equipment was formed, selling his blood to force a team fight.
After playing three for five, although the remaining two people, Pray and Smeb, had low health, no one could threaten them, which was enough to level the base!
LCK commentator Pao Xiaodi beamed with joy, "Two versus two! ROX's soldiers made surprising moves and made consecutive hits in this game. They seemed to have found a breakthrough for VG and dragged the game into the decisive game!"
"Yes, ROX has the right to choose sides in the last round," Jin Dongjun also became more energetic, "We have the initiative!"
plar was very excited, "The Tigers' change of tactics is very interesting. They targeted Easyhoon, who everyone thought was least likely to cause problems, and they actually achieved good results!"
Pantro was very happy, "Wang Hao, I just said that there is no problem in matching the two of us!"
Little Peanut was so happy that he went to find his assistant, "Brother Fan Xian, this trick of yours really works!"
Gloria smiled proudly, "Isn't that how Brother Dongbin was killed? Let's recreate it!"
Gao Dongbin is KT jungler Sore.
He is also ROX’s opponent in the summer finals.
This summer's playoffs can be said to be Sore's strongest state. In the semi-finals, Heiji was stunned and led the team to defeat SKT in a two-game chase!
However, at the last moment of the final against ROX, when Sore was about to get the Baron to kill the game, Smeb's captain's ultimate move killed Baron Nash with 2 drops of blood!
At that time, the ROX players were not in the dragon pit at all. Ore was able to lose the dragon with the punishment in hand. First, he was flustered and nervous, and second, he was not focused.
Because he is older.
Born in 1992, he played two strong teams, SKT and ROX, in a short period of time. He played both waves of 5, and Sore was completely delirious in the end.
The members of the Tigers did not deliberately pay attention to the status of the opponent's jungler during the summer finals.
When I went back to review the game, I realized that Sore could not sustain the high-intensity game until the critical moment of the fifth game!
Gloria only remembered this when she was forced into a desperate situation.
The most important point is that Easyhoon was also born in 1992 and is a 24-year-old player, exactly like Sore!
His advice to Little Peanut is to catch it with all your might.
If Li Zhixun can't concentrate until the end, the winner will be ROX!
Although if you think about it carefully, it feels like bullying the elderly in e-sports morally, and the strategy is quite shameless.
But this move does not violate fair competition.
Newcomers pay tuition, and seniors are manipulated on a show. Similar things are common in the industry.
"Let's do it again in the next game," Little Peanut tasted the sweetness. When he came off the stage, he took steps and raised his hands with high spirits. "We are destined to go to Los Angeles!"
His self-confidence grew infinitely.
After reaching the fifth game, Easyhoon will definitely not be able to hold on!
In the VG backstage lounge.
Li Zhixun was lying on the gaming chair with a small ice pack covering his forehead. He looked very weak after taking off his glasses.
It turns out that there was a problem when we played against Faker in the group stage. I thought I could survive it, but I didn't expect that I was defeated by ROX in the semifinals and was forced to the fifth game.
Mainly because the intensity of the series is too high.
In ordinary qualifying matches or training matches, he wouldn't be like this if he played ten games in a row.
However, when facing ROX, Lee Ji-hoon must remain focused at all times. If he is not careful, he will be caught consecutively in the fourth game and become a breakthrough.
He was feeling tired all over and felt dizzy and wanted to sleep, but other than that, he didn't have any other problems.
But for professional players, the impact is really not small.
"Can you still hold on?" Gu Xing sat next to him and asked with concern.
"...If it's one game, it's no problem." Li Zhixun replied softly.
It's useless for him to say there's a problem now. The team doesn't have a substitute mid laner, so we can't let JakeyLove come over and play in the middle.
Gu Xing nodded seriously, "Then if we go to the finals, it would be best to end the first four rounds."
When he said this, he was serious.
Li Zhixun felt that his jungler was starting to lose his mind and talk nonsense.
The semi-finals haven't ended yet, why don't we study the opponents in the finals in advance?
"Gu Gu, are you so confident?" Gu Chengbin was quite surprised when he heard Gu Xing's words when he came back from smoking outside.
"Of course," Gu Xing glanced at Li Zhixun, "I said I can make it to the finals, so I will definitely make it."
Easyhoon blinked, his eyes flickering but he just stared down at his fingers and did not respond to him.
Goo Sungbin didn't want to stay in the training room. When he won the game, everything around him looked so beautiful.
When I fail, I feel like this house is not good enough.
The temperature of the air conditioner is too high and the space is too narrow... Anyway, it feels unpleasant to the eyes.
"We're not in a hurry, right?" He found the cigarette case and said, "I'll go out and smoke another one."
Imp's true colors as a smoker are completely revealed.
He has to go out of the training room to smoke two cigarettes between queues in ranked games, not to mention the pressure is high now.
Gu Xing had seen Gu Chengbin smoking, and the gesture was exactly the same as Yu Qian's cross talk, he smoked very fast.
Hongmi is still making up lessons with Zhu Xiaolong alone.
Boss Ding Jun was briefly talking to the team members one by one.
"Xiao Gu..." He rubbed the area near Gu Xing's shoulder blades, "Just try your best in everything, what do you think?"
"Anyway, I'm quite satisfied with this year's results. We can continue to compete next year."
Gu Xing turned to look at him and said in a calm tone, "Old Ding, I said I can win."
Ding Jun was amused by the team member's tone, "...Sure, then I'll cheer you on down below."
Gu Xing really thought so.
By the end of the third game, he was sure he could go to Los Angeles.
In his opinion, VG is the version answer.
A solid top and mid laner, a ferocious jungler and a duo, the two tactical systems around the bottom lane and the jungle just fit the version, and teamfights have evolved to the point of proficiency.
All team members will be able to version strong characters, and the hero pool will not be a big problem.
Why can't we win?
What kind of tactics are there to survive the old man? Under the sanctions of the patch, he is like a younger brother among younger brothers!
Vincent escorted Goo Chengbin back to the lounge after finishing his cigarette, and brought a notice, "Get ready to go on stage, the time is almost up."
Gu Xing got up and walked out.
"Okay!" World6 handed over a glass of ice water, "I can't mix anything with my level. I can only sit in the audience and shout to encourage myself. I can't guarantee anything else. Our tone must be high enough..."
His strange voice change period makes his voice become shriller. People who are not familiar with him will probably think he is a girl.
"Seriously, Lao Gu," Jack chimed in beside him, "Although I don't know why you are so confident...but somehow, I feel like I can make it to the finals."
Gu Xing laughed.
Li Zhixun took off the ice pack and went to the bathroom to wash his face in a hurry. When he came back, he felt much more awake.
"Chew a piece to refresh yourself..." Lu Wenjun handed over a strip of powerful mint-flavored chewing gum.
Easyhoon unwrapped the package and stuffed it into his mouth, walked up to the stage.
Gu Xing swung the ice water in the paper cup and followed him back into the venue.
The light from the Madison Garden dome enveloped him again, and a warmth arose in his body.
…
"In the fifth game, let's see if VG can solve the problems exposed in the previous game," Wawa said, feeling less optimistic, but still expressed his support for VG, "Xiao Gu was in hot form in the first four games today.
, as long as you continue to feel good, the possibility of winning the game is very high!"
Miller started to talk about the rules, "It is said that the red side's BP is inferior in this version, but in the first four rounds of the semi-finals, the red side won. In this round, VG came to the red side, hoping to continue the red side's unbeaten record!"
He also knew that this rule was not very meaningful.
The first two games were because both sides placed the troll jungler and female gun support cards on the red side.
In the third game, Redmi designed BP to get the backhand lineup.
By the fourth game, it had nothing to do with the red side. It was purely because the Tigers found Li Zhixun's breakthrough point. They could still hit it if they switched to the blue side!
"VG can go from being unfavorable at the beginning of the summer split to stepping on the stage of the semi-finals of the global finals step by step. I think this journey is legendary enough," Wawa gave the audience an inoculation in advance, "As the only seedling of the LPL
, being able to push the LCK No. 1 seed to the edge of the cliff is also a major breakthrough for our division this year!"
The pilot screen is shown to the stands.
After four rounds, including breaks and BP sessions, this semifinal took more than four hours.
The audience was as energetic as ever, clapping their light sticks in their seats.
There was also a live audience taking the lead in playing human waves.
The crowds in the stands rise and fall in an extremely orderly manner, and the red and blue seas are turbulent!
They can feel the charm of the game between the two top teams in transition between offense and defense.
Now in the last round, the loser has to go back to his country to fish, while the winner continues on the journey.
The reality is extremely cruel, but it arouses the audience's enthusiasm for watching the game!
The director of Riot Games played "Lever Srapes (Silver Traces)" at the right time, and the exciting melody was transmitted to everyone's ears through the live sound system, which caused a long-lasting noise and shouting in the stands!
The camera cuts to the players' bench.
The screen is split into two, with each group of opposing players getting a close-up on the big screen.
Gu Xing rested his forearms on the table, held the warm baby with both hands and shook it vigorously, his mood remained calm.
The little peanut on the other side is much more excited.
He is now a typical state-based player. As long as he plays comfortably and happily, the upper limit of his competitive state will be infinitely raised!
Peanut looked at the VG player seats across the stage.
Gu Xing was still shaking the baby to warm up the fever, when he noticed an eye-catching granny ash sticking out from beside the five monitors on the ROX side.
He can tell he is a peanut by his hair color.
The two of them looked at each other in the distance and smiled proudly and confidently at each other.
Li Zhixun chewed gum, closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, wanting to rest for a while.
It wasn't until he heard the referee's announcement that BP was about to begin that he adjusted to a forward-leaning sitting position.
The crisp sound of entering the BP stage came, and the doll took a deep breath.
"Success or failure depends on one move, and the outcome will be determined by both sides in one round..."
"I hope VG can leave no regrets. There are tens of millions of viewers in the LPL competition area, which is your strongest support!"
His voice is sonorous and powerful.
"ROX is on the blue side, so we should disable Syndra first!"
The two sides reached the fifth game, and the first few games were all settled.
The coaches on both sides are not stubborn and will not look back.
It is impossible to study the opponent's trump card information in a short period of time. Since the enemy uses it to good effect, it is better to respect it.
This is a key game that affects the future, and no one wants to ruin the game just by betting on BP.
Syndra, Leopard Girl, Troll, and Gunslinger were sent to the ban position in turn.
"The Tigers' third team has made some slight adjustments. Instead of blocking Bobby as usual, they have given the forbidden position to Kalma!"
Hongmi smiled helplessly.
Nofe finally figured it out.
He banned Karma, who was able to sway as a mid-support player. One of the reasons was to prevent Li Zhixun from getting it, so that Easyhoon, whose status dropped off a cliff in the fourth game, would use a tool hero that was not difficult to mess with.
The second is to pave the way for ROX to grab Zyra first.
Putting aside the female gunner, Karma is now recognized as the only auxiliary character who can compete with Zyra.
Although it is still a matchup disadvantage, it can be stabilized at least.
Although the remaining Nami is ahead in terms of milk volume, the early lane right in the bottom lane is too uncomfortable!
It is difficult for this hero to help the ADC handle the line of troops, and he is destined to be in jail under the tower, and he will not be able to recover until the laning period is over.
Nofe's move disgusted all the middle and lower parts of VG, which is much easier to use than disabling Poppy.
What's more, VG made it clear that the mid laner's status is poor, and teammates must choose a role to compensate for the damage.
He believes that Zhu Xiaolong will not take Poppy, otherwise he will fall into the dilemma of insufficient damage faced by VG in the last game!
"Let's ban the Dragon King," Hongmi thought for a long time, but decided to keep the original ban position unchanged, "slowly ban the hero, let Zhixun rest more..."
Within the scope allowed by the rules, he tried every means to buy time for Li Zhixun.
Easyhoon's state will definitely recover after getting a period of rest. Redmi can delay it for a second.
It was not until the last moment that the figure of the Star Casting Dragon King appeared in the forbidden position.
As expected, Nofe locked Zierra instantly.
"Take Jin and the blind monk," Hongmi patted Gu Xing's shoulder with his broad palm, "Try to lead the rhythm in the early stage."
Gu Xing had no objections.
To play wild core Kindred, the demand for lane rights is relatively high.
In particular, the central route right is a top priority.
Li Zhixun's current condition is unstable, and Gu Xing's development may not be guaranteed if he takes out the wild core.
In comparison, Blind Sin is a jack-of-all-trades and can be used in most lineups without any problem.
At the same time, it can also use grabs instead of bans to limit the blind monk who has hot hands in the game.
Li Qing's ganking efficiency is still too high, especially when facing non-displacement heroes. He is the type who can scare the opponent with his ultimate move.
If Peanut gets it and continues to target the middle, something may happen.
"Smeb got Jess, and Victor, who is very proficient in pantsuit, also got it!" Miller locked his eyes on the VG hero selection box, "They are all strong characters in the version, and I don't know how VG will respond.
…”
Redmi is still stalling for time.
He took the time to chat with the team members to relieve the possible stress symptoms of the five people.
"It's your first time playing five rounds, right?" Hongmi smiled and looked at the three relatively inexperienced players Uno Suke.
Duan Deliang was very panicked and tried to relieve the pressure by shaking his legs.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it as soon as you hit it," Hongmi's mood now showed is quite mild, "You will definitely face many challenges in your future career, so you can start adapting from today."
"After this World Championship, you will be the top support in the LPL in terms of performance...relax your mind," he also laughed at himself, "Look at me, I was not hit by others before, but now I am still very active.
"
After Jin Wenhe finished translating, Hongmi asked the team members to lock down the hero.
Rambo and Nami!
"Brother Long's Rambo?" Wawa was very surprised, "He chose tanks in the first four games today. Will he change his style in the end?"
Miller frowned and explained, "Rambo is also Brother Long's signature, but facing Smeb's Jace... I can only say that the challenge is a bit big." Meb thought that the opponent would play Kennen, and came into the field with the blind monk.
Rambo's appearance surprised him a little.
However, the surprise was fleeting and Smeb quickly adjusted.
He himself is a user of Rambo's unique skills and knows how to deal with it.
"Just watch how I tear the opponent apart..." Smeb pinched his knuckles.
"The opponent needs three cores," Nofe and the team members emphasized loudly. "Wang Hao, you can only capture one lane with Olaf at most. This is what VG wants. If one lane is knocked off, they still have two core output points.
Can stand up and take over the team battle!"
Hongmi's approach is to avoid the problem of insufficient damage when Li Zhixun was pinned and died in the fourth game.
"Wang Hao, do you think you still want to take Olaf?" Nofe handed over the hero selection in the final round of the semi-finals to Xiaohuahua.
Peanut thought about the opponent's lineup, "How about Spider?"
Yin Lisi is his well-deserved signature hero.
In this year’s LCK Summer Split, Little Peanut won 11 Spider games and won 10 of them.
Spider's strength is now second only to the three top junglers of Leopard Girl, Blind Sin and Olaf, ranking at the forefront of the second tier of jungle in the world competition.
Whether it's proficiency, record, or suitability for the lineup.
Spiders are the best choice for Little Peanut!
Nofe readily agreed.
If Peanut gets the spider, his gank efficiency will be higher, and his rhythm ability will be much better than Olaf's.
He also hopes that the players can get the best roles in this possible final battle.
Get another ice for Pray, and the ROX lineup is officially completed.
Hongmi saw this and went to find Li Zhixun, "Do you think Snake Girl is okay?"
Cassiopeia is the strongest late-stage spell core in the current version, and the True Six Gods’ equipment puts her ahead of the rest of the mages.
It’s also Lee Ji-hoon’s masterful role.
Easyhoon exhaled, "Choose."
Hongmi told Xiao Duan to wait for the last second before confirming.
"I just thought we could chat like this in the semi-finals next year," he joked. "Everyone, please cheer for yourself. It's not easy to get to where we are today..."
Hongmi pinched the back of Gu Xing's neck and said, "I'm waiting for the results backstage."
"Whether you win or not, you have won today."
Gu Xing looked at Li Zhixun with a serious tone, "I said when I was in San Francisco... I would definitely make it to the finals and play SKT. Do you still believe it now?"
Easyhoon turned his head to meet Gu Xing's gaze.
He slowly raised his smile.
"Believe it."
With Snake Girl finally locked up, the lineups of both sides were officially determined.
Blue side ROX: top laner Jayce, jungler Spider, mid laner Victor, bottom lane Ice + Zyra.
Red side VG: Top laner Rambo, jungler Blind Sin, mid laner Snake Girl, bottom laner + Nami.
The director's camera moves to the center of the stage.
Redmi and Nofe shook hands for the last time before the semi-final and left in opposite directions.
Only the Summoner's Trophy was still shining silver on the high platform.
The lights on the dome are staggered, and amidst the overwhelming momentum created by the audience, Summoner's Rift comes to Madison Garden!
