"I'm so stupid..." Li Rui couldn't help but say Jack's catchphrase, "Can EDG beat SKT like this?" Leading by 1 economy in 28 minutes, a huge advantage!
This is beyond everyone’s expectations including VG!
As Gu Xing said in the interview, they can know Guodian's match results through the sparring team. Queshi is very good, and the chance of winning in the training stage where he basically only plays the first 20 minutes is quite scary.
But is it a bit exaggerated to say that they can crush SKT? They are the number one seed in the LCK!
Gu Xing can now feel the surging cheers from the scene through the screen of his mobile phone! The piggies were so happy that they waved flags and cheered for the home team in the audience!
The live broadcast room was filled with barrage.
[EDG is strong and worthy of being SKT’s nemesis! Reproduce the glory of S5 mid-season!] [ut: Lee Sang Hyuk is the only one who wants to be my brother, right? I have to beat you to pieces today!] [It can only mean that Kai is a god! Fight!
If I can’t beat Little Peanut, can I still beat you, Xiao Hei?]
[SKT 10% off water bottles? Before the game, some people actually said that this year's LCK was particularly strong, but the No. 1 seed was killed by Guodian like a pig!] [Ho ho ho, can you congratulate the LPL team Bird's Nest in advance for the finals? 】
[Don’t open the champagne at halftime, what if you lose EDG milk again]
[Fuck you, how can you still lose with a poor economy? If Guodian is overturned, I will have a five-speed electric fan on the live broadcast!]
"Just wait and wait for EDG to win easily," Gu Xing said cheerfully, very optimistic about Guodian. "We'll smash SKT to pieces. We brothers will join forces and qualify first!" He had absolute confidence that VG would qualify first as a group.
In the quarter-finals, we will definitely have to face the second place team from other groups.
If the two LPL teams can also qualify for the top spot, at least the LPL civil war will not happen prematurely. On the battlefield, everyone in EDG bulldozed SKT's bottom lane high ground.
It is worth mentioning that the younger brother finally stopped thinking about his B Lucian. After being taught a lesson by VG for three consecutive games, he gave up on the black shooter who was weakened by fists on the eve of the World Championships. He also performed very well with Yanque again.
After laying a stone array to prevent SKT from pursuing, the junior boy followed his teammates back to the city to supply supplies. But then Gu Xing suddenly realized something was wrong.
"The dragon is about to refresh, do you want to go back to the city now?" He frowned instinctively. Guodian was a little greedy just now.
After pushing the Highland Tower, I had to remove the crystal as well, which delayed me for a while. There were still 20 seconds left before Baron Nash was reborn.
Everyone in EDG returned to the city and set off again. Even with the movement speed bonus of the Home Guard, they still couldn't reach the Dragon Pit in time when the Baron refreshed!
Undoubtedly a major mistake!
At that time, the enemy may be the first to take position, occupy a favorable terrain, and may even rely on double C to quickly rush out Baron Nash!
SKT was also aware of this critical issue. After clearing out the bot lane, they rushed to the Baron Pit without stopping, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a counterattack. EDG also reacted quickly. They did not want to let go of the Baron and immediately canceled the return to the city.
Head towards Dalongkeng.
"Ouch..." Song Jinghao had a strong sense of empathy and put himself in EDG's shoes to think about the problem. The noise was extremely urgent, "Just exchange for the high ground in the middle road, don't pick up the team!"
On the surface, EDG leads by 1 economy, but in fact, in Song Jinghao's view, the difference in combat effectiveness is not that big.
First of all, EDG did not repair the enemy's high ground after pushing it. The five of them still had a lot of gold coins in their hands but did not buy equipment. Their condition was not very good, and they lost a lot of health and mana.
The other thing is the lineup gap.
EDG can gain a big advantage in the early stage not only because of the outstanding performance of its own players, but also because of the lineup.
The mid-field combination of Rock Bird + Excavator is one of the best in the current version, whether it is the linkage support speed or tower-crossing kills! But when it comes to teamfighting in the middle and late stages, this mid-field pair is really not very strong.
On the contrary, SKT is sitting on the midfielder of Clockwork + Prince, and its teamfighting ability is much better than EDG! What's more, SKT also has Rakan.
Coupled with the big bug in the top lane, the overall team control ability of the lineup is outstanding!
Moreover, in order to promote SKT to the high ground as a team, Guodian should have invested a lot of ward positions in the lower half of the map. As a result, the Ueno area is now pitch black without any vision!
Now SKT relies on early actions to reach the upper river earlier than Guodian. With the advantage of the field of vision, SKT undoubtedly has the initiative in team battles!
On the surface, 1 has an economic lead. Under the influence of the three factors of poor condition, lack of vision, and weak lineup, EDG has a 60% chance of winning in a fight at most!
Sb believes that EDG does not have to compete with SKT in Dalong Pit.
They are already 1 economy ahead. Losing a dragon is not unacceptable. Wouldn't it be good to replace the resources in the middle? SKT needs at least 3 people to win the dragon. The middle cannot be defended at all!
But EDG had no hesitation and still had to squeeze into the Dalong Pit. When Gu Xing saw this, he always felt that something was not good.
SKT is good at defensive counterattacks and has an extremely keen sense of smell in mid-to-late team battles. It immediately sensed EDG's intention to squeeze into the Baron Pit.
They huddled in the grass above the middle road, obviously trying to set up an ambush. Gu Xing hissed lightly.
Kuro murmured, "This bowl doesn't know how to take pills..."
EDG had no idea about the enemy's ambush, so the five of them rushed to the middle as a team, clearing out the enemy's minions first, hoping to put pressure on SKT's line. It was a decent decision.
A coin drops from the corpse of the artillery soldier.
Naturally, Tianye would not let go of the opportunity to capture the economy. He controlled Feng Nu to take a step forward and enter the coin-absorbing range. "Fuck you!" Jack blurted out, "Tianye!"
From a God's perspective, he could clearly see the rest of SKT players gathered in the grass above the middle lane and watching eagerly. If Feng Nu took this step forward, she would be out of touch with the team!
But Meiko didn't realize it.
There is money on the ground, so it makes sense for me to go up and pick it up, right? SKT seizes this fleeting gap.
As the only Li brother in the team, Li Zaiwan activated R [Jinghong Gap] and accelerated away from the grass, striding towards Feng Nu. Bang's mouse also entered the disguise state, and made several cunning "Diudiudi" modal words.
Tian Ye saw Luo coming at high speed with his ultimate move, and instinctively realized the danger. The situation was not right, so retreat quickly!
However, his step forward to pick up the money put him in a desperate situation!
Now that Tian Ye is exposed on the outside of the EDG formation, he is the first to be targeted by SKT! Luo cuts into the EDG formation under the bright golden light!
【Grand debut】!
Luo's R flash in this version is a supermodel control on the same level as Galio's flash. Ordinary players can't react to Luo's sudden approach!
"Turn it up, turn it up!" Song Jinghao shouted angrily, wanting to wake up Feng Nu across time and space.
As long as Janna uses R [Resurrection Monsoon], she can knock Rakan into the air and interrupt the opponent's grand entrance. If Rakan's control fails to work, EDG will win the team battle!
But Tian Ye was being thrown and sucked by SKT at this moment, and he was already at a loss. His original top-notch operation could not be used at all! His movements were a little slower, and Luo successfully exerted the group control effect!
Except for Iboy's Xia who used her ultimate move to avoid Luo's charm and flew forward, the other four EDG members were flying in the sky! All the VG members who were watching the live broadcast of this game felt a little bit in their hearts.
broken.
Faker was taken care of by Ming Kai several times in this game, and he was so frustrated that he poured out all his anger at this moment! The demon possessed Luo, R [Command: Shock Wave]!
The four EDG people who were originally controlled were swept into the air by the big move! Perfect control connection!
After Bang revealed himself, he cast R [Full Fire], and the crossbow bolts pierced the EDG formation crazily! Ye Ye was so stunned in the end that he died instantly without even using a single skill!
The two players in the middle and jungle could not withstand SKT's control chain and the terrifying output of the rats, and they died one after another after dying suddenly in the field.
Even though Iboy had just handed over R to avoid the enemy's mid-support double control, SKT had already decided to kill him and forced him to catch up and kill him. Only Mouse managed to escape by running fast!
Zero for four, SK
T won a great victory!
"For Gods and Demons!" Song Jinghao broke his guard, his voice was as shrill as Abu's, "Meiko, why don't you turn it up!" "Sent it, brothers!" Gu Xing sighed with emotion.
SKT won Baron and instantly narrowed the economic gap to 4K!
Originally, with Guodian's advantage, it would have been acceptable to just send a wave or drop the dragon. But EDG just gave it all away!
Now SKT can still use the Baron BUFF to advance further, and coupled with the growth of a strong lineup in the later stage, it can be said that Guodian's winning probability has dropped below 50%!
Through the live broadcast signal, Gu Xing could feel the dead silence of the scene. The piggies who had previously shown off their power were silent.
The audience in the online live broadcast room was even more unbelievable! [Wairui, what kind of dream team battle is this? 】
[One wave of team fights back 6K economy, it won’t be a direct comeback, right?] [Damn SKT! This is the foundation of the double championship!]
[I really laughed at this EDG. After playing a good game for 28 minutes, I could send them all out in just 20 seconds!] [Tianye, why don’t you retire, this performance really makes me want to open a ranch for you]
[The Feng Nu’s ultimate move doesn’t show up, she doesn’t show up, there’s something wrong with her thinking, isn’t she!] After giving away the big ones, all the EDG players under the camera were in a state of confusion.
"No," Jack put his hands behind his head and concluded firmly, "It's impossible to win a game like this once your mentality breaks down!" He has a say in this aspect of mentality.
The fact is just as Yu Wenbo said, EDG was losing ground in front of the powerful SKT.
The last wave of rats in the group got four kills, and then led their teammates into the spring to arrest the escaped Ming Kai. After the group destroyed Guodian, they bulldozed the base in one go!
Everyone in SKT took off their headphones. They usually kept their emotions and anger in front of the camera, but now they were all smiles, embracing each other enthusiastically to celebrate the unexpected comeback. Fighting without hesitation in the face of danger, looking for good opportunities to kill with a fatal blow, this is SKT!
The director showed the camera to the EDG player seats at the right time. The contrast was very clear.
Mingkai's dead fish eyes became more and more lifeless, Tian Tian felt annoyed and held his head, not daring to raise his head. Except for ADC, this was not the first time for Guodian to participate in the World Championship.
They know very well that in the group stage of a total of six games, winning every game is crucial! Sometimes qualifying can depend on this small game!
But now, the cooked duck has flown!
"Can you turn around the economy with 10,000 yuan? That's outrageous!" Duan Deliang hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Wangruo understands the tragic situation of EDG players losing their fighting spirit - if VG were overturned by Jiang Zi, he would probably be more autistic than this group of players.
Other players in the team also shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for Guodian. It was a pity for Que to lose such a good situation.
"I just said don't go to that wave of dragons," Song Jinghao said bitterly, "EDG must be greedy. I finally know what the word 'die greed' means in Chinese. I would rather die than be greedy!"
He sincerely hopes that EDG can win. How cool is it to see SKT being unlucky?
Gu Xing shrugged, "There was no way. EDG might have been on top at that time, and they didn't want to give up any resources. They just picked up the group and wanted to solve it quickly." As a party involved, EDG must think about the problem from a different perspective than the audience.
Gu Xing has a strong say in this aspect.
The members of Guodian just saw that the advantage was too great, so they became less rigorous in their playing methods.
First, because of greed, I had to grind crystals before I pushed the highland tower, so I wasted time and couldn't rush to the Baron Pit. Then, I didn't want to put neutral resources and felt that I had a huge advantage. Why should I let you SKT take the Baron? No.
That makes sense!
In the end, it was Meiko's Feng Nu who was greedy for the coin, and was driven to the front first and died suddenly on the spot! EDG's three greedy consequences led to bitter consequences, and the team was pushed into the abyss step by step!
"Don't worry about it, the more you watch, the more uncomfortable it becomes," Hongmi consoled, "pack up and prepare for the training match, IG is waiting for us." VG concentrated on training and prepared to further polish the adapted version.
I have to say that IG is not a very good training target.
The reason is that the team's play style is too reckless and they dared to look at him in the early stage
He is about to start a fight. He is really a hot-tempered guy. His overall style is chaotic fighting with no management at all, turning Summoner's Rift into a big brawl.
From start to finish, it is common for two teams to score forty or fifty kills in a 20-minute training match! In the S7 World Championship, a slow version that emphasizes operation, VG and IG are basically unable to achieve growth in the sparring match.
But their winning rate in training matches is really bad!
IG faced VG all night long and was able to win 40% of the games. It was the team with the strongest resistance among the sparring team and the two participating colleagues. After the training match, Redmi brought the IG team over for review. Think about the thoughts of the ten players at that time from the perspective of watching the game.
After listening to the unreserved experience imparted by the IG players, Gu Xing finally understood why they were so fierce in training matches. It seems that the team's chaotic fighting style does not fit the version, but IG's personal style is still very consistent with the incense burner system.
Especially the bottom lane.
Baolan's life-saving ability is second to none among the auxiliary players. This is undoubtedly the most important attribute of the Incense Burner Monster! If he died suddenly like Tian Ye did before, the team would not be able to fight in a team fight!
But Baolan is very timid.
He really likes heroes who hide behind and provide buffs to their teammates.
The Lulu Karma three-piece set of the incense burner system is simply a soft aid tailor-made for him! And another key factor is the child's wandering mind.
Kid is a famous competitor who is weak in competitions and has a notoriously bad mentality.
When he steps onto the stage of important events, his hands will shake uncontrollably, which will affect his personal performance. But when it comes to training matches, a child's wandering mind can be the king!
Without psychological pressure, Kid is the top scorer and goalkeeper in the country!
Moreover, the two brothers in the bottom lane did not expect to have any advantage in the laning phase, so they directly let King Ning focus on the bottom half, freeing up energy to take care of the top and middle lines.
When the three top players in the IG team come together to act, the effect is immediate!
"I think the idea of focusing on the upper and jungle areas is right," Gu Xing told his opinion. "This version of the bottom lane is full of soft assists + big core shooters. It is difficult to open a breakthrough from the laning stage, and the top half is not so good. Likewise, the probability of killing someone after a conflict breaks out is obviously much higher."
Kuro nodded in agreement and added a suggestion, "And there is also a priority in it. The midfielder and jungler must gain an advantage through linkage before rolling the snowball to help the top laner. This is the best choice."
"Then do I still have to play tanks in my previous unit?" Song Jinghao asked, complaining a few words to vent his emotions, "To be honest, front row laning is really boring, fighting each other for a long time without losing blood!"
I fought with TSM for nearly half an hour today, but ended up getting nothing, which made Sb very unhappy. He is a hexagonal top laner and is good at various types of roles, but there is always a preference among them.
There are not many top top laners who sincerely like to play tank tanks. They are chosen to be prepared for self-sacrifice and to make wedding dresses for their teammates. "Brother Jing Hao, I think I can play a damage hero," TheShy interjected, "The Gnar in the first game of the training match was really fun for us!" He recalled the scene where he went all the way to the black during the battle, and suddenly burst out laughing, as if he had a sudden illness.
Jiang Chenglu is fine when he's not smiling, like a cool guy.
As long as he grinned, his long face and exaggerated expression would look a little funny. Everyone in the training room didn't tense up when they saw TheShy's expression.
Gu Xing tried hard to control the raised corners of his mouth, and said seriously, "Judging from the current evolution of the version, there is really no need for the top laner to play tank again."
"Because the mid laner's magic core is really not very strong," he explained the reason. "If you choose a clockwork plane and a snake girl, it means you don't care about the life and death of your teammates in the early stage, and you are basically locked in the middle lane and unable to move."
"But the incense burner system emphasizes the linkage between the midfield and the jungle - this is also the only position in the current version that can do things in the early stage. Support and shooters cannot participate in the battle, and the top laner is basically an orphan position that cannot drive the rhythm. If you choose the core, the whole team will The rhythm will stagnate!"
Hongmi agreed deeply, "It makes sense. At least the plane has explosive packs that can be used in the resource group. At the same time, it can be used by eating the incense burner buff, such as the snake girl's clockwork.
The Core, when chosen, is the Earthbound Spirit, but it limits itself to the middle. The ones who will suffer must be teammates!" "In the later stages, the output ability of the Magic Core cannot be compared with that of traditional shooters, which means that the Magic Core is a trap!"
On the first day of the World Championship, Ryze and Rockbird, two heroes who can both deal damage and roam, emerged one after another and shined in the mid lane.
Even when EDG's 10,000 advantage against SKT was overturned in a comeback, the young boy's selection of Rock Bird in the early stage can help the team establish an advantage and increase its sense of presence!
On the other hand, Lee Sang Hyuk's clockwork, if it weren't for Olf's good team fight, the whole game might not be effective!
Song Jinghao followed the logic of his own jungle, "If the mid laner stops playing core and starts to take on more functional roles, the top laner will get more help...then the benefits of playing a tank will definitely not be as good. Just bring some!"
The more he talked, the more energetic he became, and he smiled brightly.
If the top, middle and jungle want to link up, there must be a core to support it.
If the mid laner wants to roam, he cannot choose a magic core. If he is a tool player, he will definitely not be the core. Otherwise, if a Galio ice girl wears a damage output outfit and huddles behind in team battles, what does that look like!
Not to mention the jungle. If VG hadn't taken out the little yellow-haired jungler and kept Kind Jue's three-step trump card, it would have been a pure herbivorous paradise! Resources are limited, and conventional gameplay is not enough to support the jungle to go to C!
Then we can only let the top order take on the core responsibility.
At least during the laning phase, they have to provide enough output, and after establishing an advantage, they can reward their teammates through split-pushing from the side! Song Jinghao could not wait to jump three feet high and celebrate.
Kuro also became excited, "Who wants to play that broken B magic core? The tool talent is the romance of the mid laner!"
He was eager to drag all the opposing mid laners into the roaming support area, so that everyone could hang out together and serve as foils for his teammates. "It's okay, brother!" Li Ruixing was excited.
The atmosphere inside and outside the VG training room is full of joy. Just as happy as them is RNG.
On the first day of the group stage, the Royal Family easily defeated IMT. In the first 15 minutes, Xiangguo Yishou Prince managed to gank five times, completely treating the North American team like a toy!
The Guodian members were still unhappy when they returned to the hotel. Seeing the two brother teams all smiling, they felt uncomfortable. Abu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, trying every means to adjust the team members' mentality.
The schedule of the group stage is too intensive. There are three duels in the first four days. If they fail to recover due to the loss in the first game, they may lose three games in a row and obtain the national football buffi that is only theoretically possible to qualify.
This had nothing to do with Gu Xing. After finishing training, he returned to his room and planned to have a good sleep and recharge his batteries to prepare for the game against GAM the next day.
