"Alas, we still lost! In fact, edg was already playing well. I can only say that kt's performance was even better! And they also used their ultimate move, which gave deft a big blow! The team battle was really explosive!"
At the commentary table, Colonel Guan sighed, feeling a little helpless.
"Yes, and deft knows ETG so well, especially the factory director and the female controller, they know it like the back of their hand! As a result, EDG could never find its rhythm in the early stage, and dug a lot of holes in the laning stage!"
The person beside me also nodded.
"However, edg's game style has changed a lot, and he is becoming more and more decisive. It's just that he hasn't fully mastered this style yet, and it's a bit awkward to use! If he grabs the baron, he can really turn it over."
Rita sighed.
At this moment, they can only continue to praise edg's decision-making and kt's performance to reduce the audience's anger towards edg.
After all, in the first game, everyone wants to get off to a good start, and if they lose the game they will inevitably be blamed by the audience.
What's more, in the group stage, EDG failed to win a single victory against LCK.
"Okay, the second game is about to start. Let's see which two teams each side will send in the second game."
The senior colonel ended the topic and brought it to the second game.
"I think it's better to play ig. If you fail in the first game, you'd better win the second game, otherwise you'll be too passive! ig is the most confident, and we can't wait and see now."
Remember to mutter.
"I think it's better to go to rng. We can guess that lpl has a high probability of going to ig, and lck can definitely guess it too! I think it's better to go to rng. Although afs defeated edg in the group stage, rng's recent state is also
Very good, we may not lose to them."
"Besides, LCK has hidden AFS for so long. If there is a big move, RNG can also avoid risks for IG, right?"
Rita analyzed.
Both people's guesses are not unreasonable. After all, it is really difficult for two people to chase three people, and there is a huge gap in momentum.
In the case of losing one game first, it is best to send the most stable team to win the second game, so as to ensure that the remaining two teams will not have too much psychological pressure in the next game.
On the contrary, if even ig loses, then the chance of winning this bo5 is almost zero.
So what Miller meant was to let ig win a victory first and stabilize everyone's mentality.
On the other hand, Rita believes that afs may have a big move hidden, and ig is facing an unfamiliar opponent. If it is overturned, the situation will be worse.
Listening to the two people's different opinions, the audience in the audience was also somewhat conflicted, not knowing whose point of view to support.
But soon, the official gave the answer.
The two sides in the second game are ig and afs!
Suddenly there was a lot of discussion in the venue.
[It’s really ig and afs! Wasn’t this caught in the lane by lck? 】
[Alas, there is nothing I can do about LPL. I lost the first game. If I don’t win a game to stabilize the game in the second game, it will be even harder to win in the future! 】
[Even if you go to rng, you don’t necessarily lose!]
[Laughing to death, do you think ig will lose? 】
...
The audience expressed their opinions. Some people thought this was a decision-making mistake by lpl, while others thought it was confidence in ig.
No matter who the opponent is, ig can win.
Of the two mentalities, the latter accounts for the majority.
After all, ig has never been defeated so far and has sown the seeds of being undefeated.
At the same time, in the locker room of LCK, the expressions of several coaches became much calmer.
Not only the victory in the first game, but also the fact that lpl sent ig in the second game, it seemed that everything was as they expected.
"Haha, although the LPL's strength has increased recently, their coaching staff is still far inferior to our LCK, so there is nothing to fear from Smecta!"
kz’s coach smiled confidently.
Judging from the current situation, the lpl's coaching staff has been completely defeated by their lck coaching staff, and almost every step is calculated.
If AFS can overthrow IG in this game, then there is a high probability that LCK will win the championship 3-0.
This is a great opportunity to wash away last year's World Championship and this year's MSI.
"I think ig is the only one in their division, and they still rely on the strength of the two Korean players in the middle and top. Without the Korean players in the middle and top, ig is nothing!"
Not far away, kz’s top laner, the guy, echoed.
He has deep resentment towards ig, especially after their team kz failed to reach the semi-finals than ig at MSI, which attracted overwhelming criticism from the domestic audience.
Most of them were pointed at him.
He claimed that if he had not angered IG during the interview, lck would not have created the worst record in MSI history.
He hates ig with all his heart, but he doesn't want to admit that ig is stronger than them.
"Don't be careless. We have plans for four games. AFS is not absolutely sure of defeating IG."
SKT’s coach Koma said solemnly.
After just winning one game, he started to get carried away, which is obviously abnormal.
But he also knows that the lck has been suppressed by the lpl in the past year, and everyone wants to be proud and regain the title of the first division.
Especially this division battle, compared to a single team winning the World Championship, can better reflect the comprehensive strength of the first division.
If they lose, then there is really no excuse to use "lpl is just a stronger ig team" as a cover.
So even if they lose the second game, they must win the next two games, because no one is sure of defeating ig again in the extra round.
At the same time, in the lpl's lounge, everyone's expressions were quite relaxed, except for Abu, who frowned slightly.
"They really caught me! afs!"
He murmured to himself, with worry on his brows.
Although everyone believes in ig's strength, no one wants to control the situation in the other's hands.
The defeat in the first game was obviously anticipated by lck, and they also predicted in advance that lpl would send ig out to boost morale in the second game.
Therefore, he decisively released afs, who had hidden the entire semi-finals, just for ig.
The unknown is often the scariest thing. Abu is worried that if AFS makes IG suffer a big fall, it will be difficult to handle.
The psychological shadow of being suppressed by lck for so many years is still there. Even if I have confidence in ig, I still dare not make a conclusion before the final result comes out.
"I don't think there's anything to worry about. ig's current strength is a level higher than everyone else! And who knows if Chen Yu has a big move? In terms of game understanding, I guess no one is stronger than him."
Beside him, the factory director comforted him softly.
He knows what Abramovich is worried about. Rather than worrying about ig losing to afs, he is more worried that after losing to lck in the intercontinental competition, their edg will become the target of public criticism.
After all, in the entire intercontinental competition schedule, they have never won against the lck team.
"It's okay. If Chen Yu could be plotted by others, he would no longer be Chen Yu."
Uzi also looked relaxed and had great confidence in his Asian Games partner.
The trending tactics in the current game are all led by ig, and Chen Yu is ig's master tactician. If other teams have big moves that can defeat Chen Yu, Uzi doesn't believe it.
...
"Okay, now that both players are on the field, we can start BP right away! In this game, ig came to the blue side!"
In the commentary box, Rita saw the two teams of players starting to debug the machines, which also brought the audience's attention back.
"AFS didn't play in the semi-finals, so I wonder if they have any big moves hidden in them! IG should be careful! Moreover, the choice of side in this game was given to the red side of AFS, so the counter position is even more noteworthy."
Colonel Guan on the side said softly.
Often the ultimate move is hidden at the end, and the counter position is the best carrier. No one can guess what is hidden until the lineup is fully selected.
"Okay, let's start the BP! In the first round, AFS chose to kill Lucian, Draven, and Kalista! There's nothing wrong with the three ADs! These three heroes are what IG is best at.
ad, in addition to Lucian swinging up, middle and down, Draven and Kalista can both swing up and down!"
"And since IG used Draven to defeat SKT in 16 minutes in the group stage, I guess no one will dare to let go of IG's Draven again."
Looking at the AFS booth, I remember I couldn't help but laugh.
I am afraid that no one except ig will let the opponent ignore the strong version and run three adcs in a row in the first round, which is not completely targeted at the bottom lane.
"IG is still the same as before, dealing with Gem, Luo, and Pan Sen! I think after the battle with SKT, no one will dare to choose Gem easily after the Gem trap is released."
Rita also laughed and joked.
At least from the current point of view, both sides are still relatively well-behaved.
"Judging from the office space here, IG should be able to grab Kai'Sa directly from the first floor!"
Colonel Guan said.
No one played Kai'Sa in the first round, and ig was on the blue side. This version was ad, and he didn't think ig would give up easily.
Many previous games have proven that in ig's system, Kai'Sa's priority is extremely high.
However, when the hero on the first floor of ig was locked, Colonel Guan's expression changed slightly.
"Morgana? I don't want Kai'Sa, I don't want Sword Girl, I don't want Galio, but I want Morgana?"
Colonel Guan's eyes widened, and he had something to say mmp in his mind, not knowing whether to say it or not.
He even suspected that ig might have stood up to what he said and deliberately went against him.
"Haha, Brother Guan, I think you should be on the side of afs! What do you mean, afs has a clean sheet for twenty minutes?"
The person on the side remembered jokingly.
It was obvious that the mysterious power of Colonel Guan was at work again.
"That's not true! Although Morgana is also very useful, it's still a bit boring compared to Kai'Sa! Kai'Sa can late-stage Kairi! And after running so many ADCs, Ah Shui doesn't have a Kairi hero to win.
.”
The senior colonel still wanted to defend himself.
But soon, the operation of AFS made his voice stop suddenly.
Because AFS did not choose Kai'Sa, but locked Galio and vn on the first and second floors.
"Good guy, I finally understand. IG has figured out that AFS will play the Galio system."
The principal in charge was a little helpless.
Because we have to play the Galio system, Tenke Galio's vn can never be given to the opponent.
For ig, vn can also swing up, middle and down in three ways, but it is usually only chosen when there is Galio on the opposite side, so the probability of being dealt with is not high.
But if you want to use the Galio system, you must grab vn before ig, otherwise ig will definitely choose!
In this case, it makes sense for ig to choose Morgana.
Not only will you not lose Kai'Sa when you choose Morgana, you can even prevent vN Icebird's bottom lane combination in advance.
The strategic significance has been greatly improved.
"Chen Yu Niubi!"
The senior colonel had to raise his thumb.
"Okay, then the second and third floors here at IG will naturally not let Kai'Sa go. The second floor will first choose a prince, remove Galio's partner, and then the third floor will directly target Kai'Sa!"
Sure enough, ig still got Kai'Sa. Although it wasn't a quick grab, he still got it in the end.
"Well, there is only one position on AFS, and there are not many options to choose from! Should we take another version of the powerful Sword Girl, or match Galio with a Qinggang Shadow, otherwise IG will definitely be targeted in the second round.
!”
Remember to put a smile on your face and analyze afs with empathy.
AFS chose Qinggangying instead of Dao Mei.
Because the top order on ig has not yet been determined, they still want to try to let the top order be selected as late as possible.
Then, in the second round, afs chose to block Jess and Enchantress.
One up and one down, they are all heroes with strong suppressive power and difficult to match.
But unexpectedly, IG did not target the Sword Girl, but instead targeted the auxiliary position.
With Lulu and Feng Nu, two soft assistants with strong protective abilities, sent to their respective positions, plus Morgana, who is a steal, there are only a few assistants who can cooperate with vn.
IG still adheres to the previous strategy and tries its best to prevent vn from having good support to protect it.
"This is a bit interesting. Why do you think they are copying KT's BP against IG in the playoffs?"
Colonel Guan's eyes lit up.
The playoffs between ig and kt two days ago were similar to today's.
It's just that afs got rid of Jace today, which is a little different.
"Maybe there is really nothing left to take. Many of these BPs were forced to take them. If they don't take them, they will be gone."
Remembering on the side sighed softly.
It is really difficult to play BP with ig.
Not only are there not enough seats, but even grabbing the seats on behalf of others is not enough to make up for the gap. In the end, it will be lost to ig's strong heroes.
But if you don't grab it, ig can use their unique heroes to defeat your strong heroes.
This should be the most frustrating thing for all team coaches.
On the fourth floor of kt, after hesitating for a long time, I finally decided on Dao Mei.
"Yeah, I just said that AFS is copying KT's BP! If Thresh is chosen for the last position, will it be exactly the same?"
The senior management officer is full of confidence.
"Let's see if there are any changes on ig's side! The current three heroes are no different from the previous two days of games."
Rita smiled and said softly.
Everyone is also curious whether ig will copy the lineup that defeated kt that day and beat afs hard.
However, when the fourth and fifth floors of ig were confirmed, the whole audience was in an uproar: "Tahm? Xerath? Who is the support?"
Everyone was confused.
No one expected that ig would choose two more assistants.
Tahm Kench is a traditional support with strong protection ability. He usually plays with non-displaceable ADCs such as Draven or Verus.
Needless to say, Xerath is Chen Yu’s champion skin and the first auxiliary Xerath in a professional game.
In addition, ig grabbed Morgana, and ig directly selected three assistants.
This opens up countless combination possibilities.
