516: Fierce fighting, history repeats itself again
"Kenan?!"
The person who was co-narrating with the doll remembers being surprised, "I haven't seen this hero for a long time!"
Wawa agreed, "Yes, Electric Mouse was severely weakened by Fist after experiencing the popularity of the mid-season. The effect of the linkage between W Electric Blade and Hurricane was directly deleted, and the AD bonus of the skill was also cut off. Instead, the AP bonus was increased.
, this knife directly chopped off AD Kennen, and it is rarely seen in the later stages of the summer games, and no one cares about it in this group stage!"
0% appearance rate, 0% ban rate, truly an unpopular hero!
"Then the question is, should Khan choose Kennen to take the AD or AP route?" Remember to ask questions.
Neither the commentators nor the audience could understand the situation.
The players and coaches on the court know this very well.
Khan decided to follow the AD style and use Kennen alone to pierce EDG's defense!
Guodian sees it quite clearly.
But it's of no use.
Just walking more peacefully.
They received information about the changes in the top lane environment one step ahead, and spent a total of two weeks studying it, trying their best to figure out how to deal with the top lane lane lane.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
Through training matches and video review analysis, we eliminated the plans one by one, and the final tone was set to choose a small gun.
Avoid its edge and stay away from the top laner, and plan the attack with the shooter as the absolute core.
In the current bot lane environment, Poppy in gun form is one of the best in terms of clearing speed and ability to demolish towers!
Guodian's idea is to take advantage of the enemy's top laner to become completely invincible, first raise the small cannon in the bottom lane, let the cannon girl lead the rest of the teammates to form a demolition brigade, and use the tower to accumulate enough economic and vision advantages to then threaten
The enemy's top laner prevents the opponent from unscrupulously split-pushing on the wing.
The idea is simple and clear.
But it’s really difficult to implement.
Because something went wrong in the first round.
The little cannon can't help.
Mingkai wanted to go to the bottom lane at the beginning, but was arrested on the spot by Little Peanut!
After BDD got the unique skill Rock Bird, the support speed was extremely fast. Healing Flash DF second company handed over all the second companies, and he just took the lead and killed Ming Kai!
After Gui Jiao Qi died, Xiao Peanut gained the advantage in the jungle and waited for opportunities to invade and harass, making it impossible for Ming Kai to easily go to the bottom lane to help.
Without the support of the jungler, the EDG duo would not be able to take advantage of Xuanming and Xuanming on their own!
Although Meiko is strong, if this incense burner version is used as a protective soft assist, no matter how strong the operation is, it will be useless.
The hero himself lacks hard control and cannot retain people, and the damage consumed is not enough. Most of them have to hit the shield provided by the opponent's soft support!
Gloria played Lulu and shielded the Rat King from behind. The two old men Xuanming and Ming were able to maintain a good blood volume!
If the two of them don't return to the city frequently, Iboy's small cannon won't be able to push the tower calmly and quickly!
Just by clearing the line and entering the tower, then hanging explosive sparks on the defense tower, the demolition efficiency is really low!
Just getting to the next tower took a full 15 minutes!
During this period, Khan relaxed and continued to push solo on the top lane without any scruples.
Economic disparity also comes from this.
In just these 15 minutes, he had already established a 40-dollar + full level head-on lead.
The long-handed Kennen beats Mouse's short-handed Taiki, which is a laning advantage.
What's more, Khan's laning ability is much better than Mouse's.
And after entering the mid-term, as Kennen's tankiness becomes higher and higher, the basic damage of Maokai's proud skills can be hit on the electric mouse without any pain or itching!
Khan can use Ruin to brush a wave of troops to absorb all the lost health.
The gap in single challenge ability between the two top laners will only become more and more exaggerated!
Mouse realized something was wrong, so he pulled Ming Kai along and wanted to catch Khan again, trying to restrain him.
However, this method was verified by RNG in the training game two weeks ago, and it is destined to be in vain.
EDG's two tank heroes in the jungle can't kill the electric rat who is about to make a big ice hammer!
Kennan faced the sudden face and opened R [Wan Lei Tian Lao Yin] to protect himself. After getting away from him, he started flying wildly. If Gui Jiao Qi hadn't run so fast, he would have definitely fallen to Khan's electric shuriken.
Down!
Even two-on-one couldn't deal with Kennen's single belt. EDG was losing ground. The defeat was understandable!
Uncharacteristically, Dragon Ball did not choose to crush its opponents with a frantic offensive, but instead advanced slowly and steadily.
The two sides fought fiercely for 35 minutes, and Khan had already made a six-god costume!
The Whisper of the Ruined Ice Hammer is equipped with a Green Cross and a Wisdom End Blade, and comes with a pair of mercury shoes. It needs both tankiness and tankiness, and attack speed and attack speed. It also has percentage armor penetration and additional damage. EDG has nothing to do with it.
Just a little bit of help!
Khan's unsolved single-player strategy was implemented smoothly. When Guodian made a desperate attempt to use Ancient Dragon to force Longzhu to join the battle, he made a decisive decision and gave up joining the front-line team to go solo on the road.
Jump over the tower and kill Mouse, then use AD Kennen's powerful tower demolition ability to demolish the EDG base from the high ground in one wave!
Watching Guodian's main crystal turn into fireworks, the LPL commentator's eyes widened.
They expected that EDG would lose today. After all, before the game, it was generally believed that there was still a certain gap in hard power between Guodian and Longzhu.
But I didn’t expect that we would lose in this way!
In everyone's opinion, it should be the same as last year, with Xiao Peanut doing evil in the jungle and defeating Mingkai to establish an advantage and help Longzhu win the game.
However, the plot of this game was completely different from what they imagined!
It doesn't matter that Kai was particularly cheating. After losing first blood, Gui Jiao Qi ran to the middle and caught the opponent to death while BDD didn't dodge, thus saving some face.
In the mid-term, the game is pretty good, not much worse than Peanut.
The point that caused EDG to lose the game was actually on the top lane!
"Obviously the group stage is still dominated by tank top laners. How come the ecological environment has changed so drastically in just a few days?" Wawa couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
"This Kennan is too exaggerated. Two people can't defeat him, but three people can catch him and still run away..." I remember his face turning pale.
The AD Kennen that Khan took out completely subverted the perception!
On the MVP selection results page, the extremely exaggerated data caused the entire Guangzhou Stadium to fall silent.
The opponent's economy is leading +5500, the average CS per minute is 10.1, and the average damage per minute is 577...
A truly dominant performance!
The spectators in the stands on all sides had already fallen into silence. Most of the players were watching the World Championship for the first time and wanted to experience the e-sports atmosphere.
As a result, I witnessed Guodian being ravaged by Longzhu in the way that I was most afraid of when I watched the game!
Since the official launch of the LPL in the S3 season, the entire division has been shrouded in the shadow of the Korean top laner.
Damu Impact, Looper, Ma Datou...
Not to mention these champion top laners, even Smeb and Huni, who did not win the championship in the past two years, the local LPL top laners cannot handle it!
Although VG successfully won the S6 World Championship, it also relied on the performance of the double C and jungler in the team. Zhu Xiaolong's task was more to hold back the enemy's top laner. Strictly speaking, he could not punish the Korean top laner.
From this global finals to the knockout rounds, the vast majority of audience commentators believed that the start of this world championship was dominated by pure bastards, which was good for Guodian and RNG.
Everyone feels that they can finally breathe a sigh of relief and no longer have to endure the endless crazy single-tracking of Korean top laners.
Who would have imagined that on the first day of the quarter-finals, Longzhu would use brutal top lane split-pushing tactics to destroy EDG!
The road environment has undergone earth-shaking changes!
On that day, the LPL audience finally recalled the horror of being dominated by the Korean top laner.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is even more mixed, filled with all kinds of pure passers-by with unknown identities.
[EDG makes me laugh so hard at this rubbish. Why are they taught by Korean top laners every year? AJ was beaten by Marin with forehand and backhand, Koro1 was whipped by Maibo, this year it’s finally Mouse’s turn, right? - Last year in August
Qiang Sai asked for leave and went home to be a deserter. I must let you go out today!】
[This is what Guodian’s top order looks like. It feels wrong to have not been educated on Korean style top orders. Mouse has been branded Jie Jie Jie this time]
[Xiao Hei Zi is almost done. Next year, LPL will spend money to buy Khan. Then you will see if the EDG Civil War Fantasy God can crush Jin Donghe and it will be over! 】
[Smeb: Brother Guodian, I was also bought, no matter how you beat me, I will always lose]
[Wow, wow, I have never missed VG so much. Where is Brother Xing? Please save Brother Xing! 】
Gu Xing, who was caught by the barrage, was currently located near the Canton Tower more than ten kilometers away from the competition venue, filming a promotional video for the top eight under the guidance of Riot employees.
The Pearl River in front is sparkling and full of water, and the Asian Games Park in Haixinsha is not far away, with lush green plants and beautiful scenery.
"Brother Xing, I will use a look-up shot later to take a picture of you and the Canton Tower behind you." The director is a big fan of his and his attitude is very attentive. "Just put on a more handsome pose."
Gu Xing first raised his right hand in front of his chest, but it felt inappropriate and wanted to pause and change his movements.
"That's it!" The director was very surprised, "Brother Xing, you heard me right!"
He stared at the picture shown in the camera. In the short gap before the camera was completely raised and pushed up, the tiger's mouth between the thumb and index finger of Gu Xing's right hand was fully opened, and the finger webs completely encompassed the Canton Tower behind him.
The young man's fair and handsome face complements the famous surface of the quarterfinal venue, and the Canton Tower between his palms seems to announce that everything is under control.
The director was very satisfied with the lens language displayed in this scene.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xing ended the filming easily due to his unintentional move. He thanked the director and hurried to a shady place to drink ice cream.
Jack, who had already finished the promotional video, was sitting in the shade of a tree looking at his mobile phone.
"How was the competition?" Gu Xingtong took a sip of his drink and asked casually.
"It's almost 2-0, EDG is probably going to send it," Jack said, hating the iron, "I just spent two weeks thinking about a small artillery quick push tactic, but it was ruined by others!"
Song Jinghao shook his head and said, "That's good. At least he knows how he died..."
"If we hadn't told EDG that the priority of the top laner had changed, they would have been caught off guard. Maybe they wouldn't understand why the version environment evolved like this until they were eliminated."
"That's true." Gu Xing thought this was the truth.
As a substitute, Dai Zhichun also followed the team to Canton Tower for filming today. After watching the live broadcast of the game for a while, he asked:
"Dragon Ball will start using single-band orders today. Will we not be able to get the bonus?"
He is a pure newbie and doesn’t know much about the professional arena.
Gu Xing was very patient, "Too bad, G2 will only be wary like Guodian. They can target us from the BP level in the first game, but it is basically unrealistic to really come up with any effective countermeasures."
."
"Because the time is very tight, the opponent has no time to think," he pointed to the live broadcast of the game on the screen of Jack's mobile phone. "Just like EDG, they have more energy, but in the end they can only come up with a small cannon and a quick push."
Mingkai usually doesn't help, and Mouse also has problems with his own strength and hero pool. These are all problems that cannot be cured in a while.
If you ask Ueno, who has never interacted with each other much, to cooperate, it is easy for mistakes to happen. As a result, neither of them can adapt, and it may even have the opposite effect!
You must know that VG Ueno was very good at linking up in the spring of the beginning of the year. They relied on their tacit cooperation to win the Spring Split + MSI championship.
Even after half a year of neglect, it was still very good.
Gu Xing and Smeb spent half a month getting back together, and with the support of the super players' personal strength, they regained their original tacit understanding.
The reaction time left for G2 is only two days.
How can Wunder+Jankos' top jungler quickly regain its original feeling when the affinity rate is less than 15% so far in the summer split?
Very blue!
"And the advantage brought by the bonus of trump card tactics in the World Championship is mainly the time difference," Gu Xing elaborated, "While you are still studying the changes in the top lane environment, we have already used the extra time to think of countermeasures.
"
"That's what it means to take one step quickly and step up step by step."
VG is currently studying how to deal with it. Although there are several sets of tactics that are not yet mature, they are theoretically at the forefront of the eight teams!
"That's it..." Able suddenly realized.
The VG shooting mission has come to an end, and the top eight opponents G2 also rushed to Canton Tower to prepare for the next round of promotional video recording.
When Goo Sung Bin got out of the car, he was still chatting and mumbling about something with Ah P, and then he suddenly became ill, bursting into laughter, and his facial features squeezed together looked extremely abstract.
Gu Xing was quite puzzled.
"Puff, why are you laughing," he asked, "Did you remember something happy?"
When Gu Chengbin saw Gu Xing, his laughter became louder and he leaned back and forth in response, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, congratulations on your guess..."
Perkz couldn't control the smile on his face, "Imp had a sudden idea when he got out of the car and said he wanted to do the whole thing while recording the pre-game interview."
When Gu Xing asked again, Ah P remained tight-lipped.
"I'm sorry," Jankos said, punching Gu Xing fiercely, "pack your bags the day after tomorrow and wait to die!"
Gu Xing laughed dumbly.
"It's good to have confidence, but have you seen today's quarterfinals?"
The little sheep's heart beat rapidly at his question, and his uneasiness spread quietly.
"We don't have data on our mobile phones when we get here, and the Wi-Fi on the bus is average, so we don't bother to look. What happened?" Jankos's voice became lower and lower, with a little anxiety in his tone.
"It's okay," Gu Xing said cheerfully, "I can take a look at it later when I have nothing to do. It's quite interesting."
Jankos couldn't wait to take out his cell phone.
点开老鼠台直播间就看到龙珠手握赛点还在暴揍EDG!
It’s reasonable!
Does anyone really think EDG can beat Dragon Ball?
He tilted his head, confused and unable to understand what Gu Xing wanted to express.
Then I took a closer look and saw that the top laners of both sides were using Gnar vs. Big Insect.
etc.
Nar?
Jankos felt flustered.
He pursed his lips and quickly searched for the videos of the first few games of this BO5 game.
AD Kennan versus the big tree.
Qinggangying versus the big bug.
Dragon Ball is crazy, right?
Jankos was horrified.
If Khan only chose a single-band role once, he wouldn't be so worried. He would just treat it as Jin Dongha's advantage and reward himself with a round.
But all three games were dominated by top lane heroes who played split pushing to the extreme. No matter how rough-minded Jankos was, he could still detect something was wrong!
"Brother, come here quickly!" Xiaoyang's voice was anxious, "The big one is coming!"
"Joey, hurry up, the situation has changed!" Jankos urged the head coach.
The G2 coach whose ID is YoungBuck was looking pretty in front of the mirror, thinking that she would look good when taking pictures later, so he rushed over when he heard the call from his jungler.
"How is it appropriate to yell in public? Can you be more mature and steady like me?" YoungBuck said slowly.
His calm demeanor was maintained until he saw the top laner role chosen by Longzhu.
"Holy shit!" He became serious, "Is Dragon Ball serious?"
YoungBuck became a professional player in 2011, and later retired and came to G2 as a coach. With his rich experience, his coaching ability is quite outstanding. In the past two years, he led G2 to win all 4 European League championships, so he naturally has two skills.
After seeing the style change of Dragon Ball's top laner, YoungBuck realized the seriousness.
"What should I do?" Jankos was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. He wished he could miss the official recording, so he hurried back to the hotel to prepare for the competition, "We haven't practiced before!"
Although G2 realized early on that Yinzeril's jungle was a trap.
However, the quality of the training matches was too low, and they were still unable to figure out the evolution of the top lane environment. They were still stuck at the group stage level where double tanks in the top and jungle, double tanks in the middle and bottom, and double C + incense burner monsters constituted a strong lineup.
Dragon Ball’s weird but effective strategy caught everyone in G2 off guard!
"Virtue specifically asked me to watch this BO5 before he left," Jankos said, thinking divergently, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. "Do you think VG would have known about the change in the top order environment for a long time? They will arrest us on the spot the day after tomorrow!"
"It's possible. If it wasn't profitable, why would Virtue spare no effort to promote his bad jungler Yin Zerel?" Wunder's tall body trembled with fear, "Fxxk, these people are
Really insidious!”
"Don't panic," Beryl, who had a pretty face at this time, stood up to comfort his teammates, "It's not a big deal, we don't have any cards."
"We have already come to this point. We are only two days away from the quarterfinals. It is impossible to come up with any effective coping strategies on the fly. Everyone can adjust their mentality and leave everything else to God."
Beryl, like most of his fellow villagers, believes in Christianity. Despite his youth and maturity, his tone is calm and calm.
He is obviously the youngest player in the G2 team, but now he can comfort his older teammates.
"That's right." Youngbuck was well-informed and immediately nodded in agreement with the new assistant's view. "That's it. What we have to do is to adjust the competitive state and strive to give the best performance on the field."
Jankos sighed briefly, losing the confidence he had when he said harsh words to Gu Xing.
Gu Xing took the bus back to his station and took a shower before Guodian sent it.
Three to zero.
with no doubt.
EDG's play style this year is originally biased towards the early and mid-term, and is not suitable for the incense burner system.
If VG hadn't hidden the incense burner for a while in the summer split, and created an EZ jungle trap to indirectly help Guodian in the group stage, Guodian would have never been able to advance to the knockout rounds this year!
Mingkai stood up and packed away his keyboard and mouse peripherals, looking extremely depressed.
In fact, since learning about the changes in the top lane environment two weeks ago, Gui Jiaoqi knew that EDG's journey to this World Championship would once again be set in the quarterfinals.
But now that he has been eliminated, Mingkai still finds it hard to accept.
For him, the only good news this year is that he barely managed to save face in front of his hometown elders and was kicked out without making it to the group stage.
The Dragon Ball members happily came to shake hands, and the little flower girl was in high spirits and did not forget to interact friendly with the audience in the stands, which was in sharp contrast to the disappointed Ming Kai.
Gu Xing saw the lonely Gui Jiaoqi through the live broadcast, and truly felt the cruelty of e-sports.
He still remembers the omnipotent Ming Kai when he watched the 2015 MSI video. He was invincible with Nu Nu Widow and could even suppress stupid chickens.
Let’s look at Gui Jia Qi, who has been on the decline in the past two years. He was beaten to pieces by a little peanut and couldn’t take care of himself. It is inevitable that he will feel troubled.
However, the negative emotion was fleeting, and Gu Xing quickly put it behind him, dried his hair and ran to the training room to continue practicing to maintain his hand feel.
The EDG members ran away to who knows where after the game. They came back in the middle of the night and watched the training match of the sparring team with a sad face.
When Gu Xing ran to the wild king to discuss his ideas for clearing the jungle, he saw the Guodian players and found that only Iboy was in a good mood.
Hu Xianzhao originally had no ambition, and thought it would be great if he could earn a living as a professional player.
In the first year of his debut, he was the runner-up in the league + the top eight in the S competition, crushing at least 95% of the top league rookies in the world!
What more bikes do you want?
What's more, the games he loses are all not his fault, so Iboy doesn't feel like there's anything to be frustrated about.
Although there are many people who reach their peak right after their debut, people like Lee Sang Hyuk and Gu Xing won the S championship in the first year of their career. Compared to Iboy's achievements, this seems not worth mentioning.
But he is very good at comforting himself.
Come on, League of Legends e-sports is in its seventh year, isn’t it just these two superstars?
I'm almost reasonable, right?
Besides, there are many professional players who are better than me!
Seeing that Guodian members were generally in a bad mood, Gu Xing just exchanged a few words of comfort and went back to his room.
When I browsed the anti-combat bar before going to bed, I realized that the public opinion had been fully fermented.
[In the 4th year since its establishment, EDG has participated in 4 global finals, all of which were top eight! Is this B team unable to win the championship in its lifetime? 】
[Hehe, the Silver Dragon Cup is not a championship, right? I don’t think there are many LPL teams that are better than EDG]
[It’s still the same sentence, waste Mingkai, every word and eight paintings are top eight every year!]
[Those who have been captured by little peanuts all their lives, just retire if you can't do it. It's time for the old guy to give up his position. Originally, civil war was between insiders and outsiders, but this year is better. You can't even stand up to civil war in the league! 】
[Dragon Ball is still strong. Top laner Khan defeated all the invincible opponents in the world. He had a total of 4 solo kills in a BO5 and only died once in three rounds. Is this the best in the world? 】
[Is this what Khan is bragging about? MSI has been taught by Maibo and has been forgotten, right? Winning a Mouse today will cause trouble for you]
[Does anyone discuss the BO5 between RNG and SSG tomorrow? I feel that the change in the role of the top laner is very detrimental to the royal family. How will Letme beat Cuvee? 】
[It’s okay, just wait and see me, Uzi, teach Ruler a lesson. I don’t believe Samsung can win!]
In the blink of an eye, the second match day of the quarterfinals knockout rounds came.
October 20th, the magical date.
Royal family meets Samsung's challenge.
RNG is also prepared in advance.
They came up with different response tactics than EDG.
Since Xiangguo still focuses on the top half this year, Firefox wants to let the midfielder and jungler take care of the top lane in the early stage to suppress Cuvee's development as much as possible.
Drag it until the Uzi three-piece set is formed, and then wait for an opportunity to start a team battle from the front, and send away three stars in one wave!
The strategy was executed very well in the first game.
The extremely reckless hunger strike style of Xiangguo is extremely restrained by An Bixin, who mainly operates on grass-fed food and emphasizes avoiding war.
The opponent you beat doesn't even dare to enter the wild area!
Liu Shiyu's various radical entry operations aroused tens of thousands of spectators at the Guangzhou Stadium in amazement.
Every Gank performed by Xiangguo will be warmly cheered by the audience!
RNG naturally established an advantage in the early stage, and then used the two ancient resources of Baron and Xiaolong to force the team.
Cuvee is very restricted in the early stage.
It slowly developed in the mid-term, but still couldn't give back to the team in time. After RNG got the baron, Yan Junze relied on the buff effect of the Baron's Hand BUFF on the minions to successfully defend the side defense tower.
After 39 minutes of fierce fighting, RNG relied on Xiangguo Zhumei’s QR drift to snipe away the team and end the game!
1:0!
But Edgar was not unprepared.
In the second game, he was on the blue side and began to test RNG.
The first is to seize the wind girl and release Xia Luo.
The entire VG team in the hotel was watching the live broadcast. Seeing that Samsung's BP strategy was so outrageous, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What do you mean?" Duan Deliang held his head in his hands, looking very surprised, "How dare Samsung let Xia Luo go?!"
In the second round of Group A, Samsung tried to release Xia Luo Phoenix Legend in the competition against VG.
At that time, Jack and Duan Deliang killed everyone in the audience and sent the game away.
Logically speaking, once you have figured out Xia Luo's strength, you shouldn't release it again.
But Edgar just did the opposite!
The faces of the VG players were not very good.
Because they had been training with RNG for many days, they knew that Edgar had made the right bet.
