[Oh my god, the opponent is SKT! Isn’t this caught? What is the coaching staff doing? RNG is saving the finishing touches!]
[Can RW beat KZ?]
[Oh my god, SKT is beating RNG. It’s RNG’s fault. If we lose, it’s three to one!]
...
When they saw the game played on the big screen between RNG and SKT, LPL fans couldn't help but become worried.
You know, RNG has been defeated by SKT for many years in a row. Even RNG's predecessor, the Royal Family, has suffered repeated defeats at the hands of SKT.
Today we actually met SKT again, and it was still in such an important battle at Tianwang Mountain. The audience's confidence in RNG was really not very high.
You know, RNG defeated KZ in the group stage. If it were placed in the fourth game and defeated KZ again, it would at least ensure that the LPL could advance to the fifth game.
In the fifth game, IG was sent to play, and the championship was still very stable.
As for RW, everyone doesn’t think they have much chance of winning against the LCK team.
So when they saw that this set of games was between RNG and SKT, they were all worried that there might not be a fifth game in the LPL and IG would have no chance to play again.
"It's a bit troublesome! The LPL coaching staff seems to have been killed by the LCK. The LCK directly used SKT to capture RNG. KZ lost to RNG in the group stage, and the LCK only had two teams: SKT and KZ. Half of them
I actually caught it with half the chance!"
In the commentary box, I remember frowning.
Just like the audience, he was worried that RNG would lose to the bitter host SKT again, bringing the LPL to the edge of the cliff.
How terrifying would the psychological pressure of RW be in the next game?
The life and death of the LPL rests on the fourth seed, who is participating in the World Championship for the first time.
But the LCK side is the number one seed in the final battle.
Even if the strength does not appear to be that strong, in the eyes of most people, it is not something that RW can easily compare to.
"Wouldn't Chen Yu also participate in the discussion of the coaching staff? Didn't he guess who the LCK would send to play?"
The senior colonel on the side was a little confused.
As an assistant coach and player of the national team, Chen Yu has his first job in history. Everyone knows that Chen Yu will definitely have a seat on the LPL coaching staff.
However, Chen Yu did not notice such a huge decision-making mistake.
This is seriously inconsistent with the usual image of doing everything possible.
At some point, even the senior colonel began to feel that Chen Yu was omnipotent.
"Maybe the coaching staff has their own ideas? Besides, RNG is not absolutely unable to beat SKT. Last year's World Championship was just a 2-3 loss. This year's Uzi has no shortcomings in the hero pool, and BP will not suffer!
"
Rita said softly.
She not only defended Chen Yu, but also defended RNG.
In last year's World Championship, RNG lost 2 to 3 to SKT and failed to successfully join IG in the finals.
The BP and hero pool after the game have been criticized.
But this year has made great progress. In addition to being slightly inferior to IG, RNG is also invincible in the LPL, almost leaving other teams by a level and becoming the second group behind IG.
Rita still has some confidence in the evolved RNG.
...
At the same time, in the LCK lounge, the three coaches clenched their fists excitedly.
"Nais! You guessed Smecta correctly!"
The three of them said in unison, overjoyed.
They guessed the LPL lineup correctly, which in their opinion also reflects that their coaching team is better than the LPL.
Next, we are waiting for SKT's good news, giving them a 2-1 lead in LCK.
Finally, let KZ take care of the little-known RW, and regain the title of the first division for LCK in one fell swoop.
Since losing the World Championship last year, they have been criticized by LCK fans for too long. They urgently need a chance to prove themselves and give an explanation to those angry fans.
"We should be able to win, RNG doesn't have Korean players."
The man said softly.
"Without Korean aid, wouldn't you lose to them?"
Mata glanced at him and sneered.
As a veteran member of RNG, Mata still has some affection for his RNG teammates.
Especially in the environment where LPL is gradually catching up, the man still maintains such a condescending attitude, which is not comfortable.
"You...that's just BO1, we were just careless."
The guy was unhappy when his defeat in the group stage was mentioned, but he still stiffened his neck and retorted.
"Uzi and Xiao Ming are currently the second-ranked bottom lane combination in the world. RNG will not lose so easily."
Mata sneered, obviously very confident in his old partner.
Even though SKT has the former world's No. 1 bot lane combination of bang and wolf, he still thinks that he can't do well in front of Uzi and Xiaoming.
"So what? There's Brother Xianghe in the middle, and Brother Duke on the top!"
The man continued to refute. He was very angry and believed that Mata's pessimistic attitude at this time was inappropriate.
"I hope Duke and Faker can hold on! We can no longer afford failure Smecta."
Mata didn't say much, just expressed her point of view calmly.
It's not that he has no confidence in SKT, it's that LCK really can't afford to lose right now.
If RNG wins the game, LPL will be able to play at least five games.
And facing the now invincible IG, who is sure to win in the fifth game?
...
At the same time, in the commentary box, Colonel Guan had already packed up his mood and entered the state: "Okay, the players on both sides are ready. Now we will bring you the third game of LPL and LCK, against both sides of LPL. Second seed RNG and LCK’s second seed SKT!”
"SKT got the priority to choose the side in this game and took the initiative to choose the red side!"
"In the first round, SKT chose to get rid of Kai'Sa, Varus, and Zoe! There are two ADCs among them. It seems that SKT attaches great importance to Uzi!"
As the second bottom laner in the world in today's official rankings, although their winning rate is not as good as IG's, in terms of suppression power, this year's Uzi and Xiao Ming can be said to have reached their peak.
Sometimes, even the top-ranked IG bottom lane duo has a hard time completely suppressing them.
Many teams will choose to target the bottom lane without hesitation when facing RNG.
Because they know that Uzi is RNG’s most stable Kerry point.
"The ones RNG chose to deal with are Galio, Morgana, and Rakan! Well, now RNG has finally dealt with Galio."
The person on the side remembered couldn't help but joke.
Although the joke about not doing Galio last year was actually because Uzi was not confident in his proficiency in Xayah, some people are still talking about this to this day.
But in fact, if RNG really couldn't handle Galio, it would be impossible to win two of the BO5 games.
"On the first floor, RNG chose to grab EZ first! This hero has been used very well by Uzi recently, because his Kai'Sa can no longer be released! In addition, there is no Xia Luo combination, and EZ's priority is very high! SKT is working on it
For the bottom lane, if we don’t get EZ, we might not be able to win.”
Seeing RNG's first round of reservations, the senior colonel nodded with satisfaction.
Uzi is a player who can produce explosive output and amazing suppression power with EZ. At the same time, EZ's self-protection ability is ranked first among all ADs, which greatly relieves the pressure of Uzi being cut by many people.
"SKT chose Ryze and Prince on the first and second floors. This should be a pair of midfielders, right? The control chain is very strong. SKT is going to play the midfielder rhythm."
When SKT locked onto Prince Ryze on the first and second floors, everyone immediately understood that SKT was preparing to use the midfielder to open the gap.
"So for RNG, choose one carefully on the second floor...well, is it still to resist pressure? Isn't it appropriate to have four guarantees and one EZ?"
When RNG's Shen was selected, Colonel Guan immediately expressed doubts.
However, when RNG's next hero was locked, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
[Sword Demon? Can this thing be played? 】
[Nima, this is the first time I’ve seen Sword Demon on the professional scene since the redesign, right? 】
[No, this thing is very bulky, and the three-stage Q is like a fool. You might as well choose Raven!]
[Don’t do it, RNG! The opponent is SKT, not the second team of LSPL!]
...
Everyone was shocked. The third floor of RNG actually chose the recently reworked Darkin Sword Demon!
In the regular season version, Sword Demon has not actually logged into the competition server, and everyone has not seen this hero's performance on the competition field.
But in normal ranking games, some people have already tried to use the redesigned new sword demon.
After the redesign, Sword Demon puts passive rebirth on his ultimate move, and all other skills have been changed beyond recognition, making him a completely new hero.
Especially the third stage of the Q skill looks very bulky, the early CD is extremely long, and the skill roll-up time is also very long, and it even feels worse to use than Raven who is not on the field.
Most people believe that Darkin Sword Demon is the most failed reworked hero. Except for the popularity in the first three days, players who later learned about this hero chose to give up.
The appearance rate even dropped to the bottom.
In addition, the version pioneer IG has never developed a routine for this hero, so basically no one pays attention to him.
Even if the reworked new Sword Demon is launched in the Intercontinental version, the BP rate is zero.
But under this situation, RNG actually took out the Sword Demon directly, how could it not be surprising?
...
“This is RNG’s ultimate move?”
In the LPL team chat, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"This hero is too bulky. I've practiced it, but I feel it doesn't do enough damage and is brittle. It's not as good as the previous vampire sword demon!"
RW's top laner Aguang said.
"I was playing for a while and was beaten to the point of numbness by the opponent's top laner VN."
RNG's top laner Ray shook his head helplessly.
The popular long-hand tops are simply perfect against the bulky hero like Sword Demon.
However, everyone did not simply believe the two top laners' denials. Instead, they all looked at Lao Sha, the world's number one top laner, who was also assisted by Chen Yu, a pioneer of the version.
They really want to know how IG understands the redesigned new Sword Demon.
"Ahem...I am that VN."
Ruishai glanced at Ray sheepishly and coughed to relieve his embarrassment.
No one else in IG spoke, as if they didn't feel the gazes of the players from the other two teams.
Only Chen Yu stood up and said something that shocked everyone except IG: "The Sword Demon is very strong!"
"What did you say? The sword demon is very strong?"
Brother Coin's eyes widened.
He originally thought that RNG's so-called Sword Demon routine was not reliable.
But when I heard Chen Yu's personal verification, I was inexplicably shocked.
Could it be that there is really something about the Sword Demon that they haven't studied thoroughly?
[Don’t ask, ask is a god descending to earth! Now you are ignoring Sword Demon. After the World Championship, Sword Demon in Summoner’s Rift is a must-have, and no one will back down!]
Chen Yu smiled evilly in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface: "Let's see, if RNG doesn't lose its BP, SKT will suffer a big loss."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
None of them could have imagined that Chen Yuhui would have such a high opinion of the Sword Demon.
But even if the hero Sword Demon is really strong, how can Chen Yu conclude that RNG has already developed that strong set of usage?
After all, before RNG came on the scene, it was not revealed to Chen Yu that the ultimate move was Sword Demon. He only said that this ultimate move was originally hidden to deal with IG.
"Hey, I didn't expect that RNG also created the Sword Demon. It must have been stolen from our club."
Next to him, Prince Ning smiled strangely.
Now that Chen Yu had pierced the window paper, he stopped pretending.
In fact, when the remake of Sword Demon was first launched, Chen Yu asked Liao Shai to train, and even went on stage to teach the core operations and equipment step by step.
It's just that in order to keep it secret, IG has only been playing in custom games, or asking the second team to help with sparring, so no news has leaked out at all.
Everyone in IG who has seen the true power of Sword Demon is even sad that others think Sword Demon is a waste.
Seeing RNG take out the Sword Demon today, King Ning and others were also a little surprised.
"It's hard to say, what if it's not our costume?"
Ah Shui curled his lips and expressed a different opinion.
"No, if it were the original set of equipment, RNG wouldn't be able to beat the second team in training matches."
Chen Yu shook his head calmly.
Now that Sword Demon has just been re-created, most people are still using the old attack speed and half-tank style, which is completely incompatible with the current Sword Demon's skill mechanism, and is naturally ridiculously weak.
Not to mention the long-range top laners that are so popular these days, even ordinary warrior top laners can easily bully the Sword Demon.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Ray was beaten by VN for playing Sword Demon.
In fact, even if a peak player comes to play a peak Sword Demon himself, he will still be beaten by the VN. This is natural hero suppression.
But Chen Yu knew that the redesigned Sword Demon would need semi-meaty CD-level equipment in order to exert its full power.
And he also remembered very clearly that the first person to descend to earth with the Sword Demon God was not in trouble, but in attitude!
It's just because the game that Jasha played was the World Championship, which attracted much attention and had greater influence, that it became a classic that will be remembered by the audience.
But in fact, at a certain period of time, Zhi's understanding of this hero was far greater than that of Liao Sha.
Today, when I saw RNG using Sword Demon as its ultimate move, Chen Yu understood that his attitude was enlightened!
My heart that was worried about RNG was mostly relieved.
RNG's opponent in this game is SKT. Duke rarely chooses AD top laner, and most of the time chooses a team hero, so there is a lot of room for performance in this game.
As long as RNG doesn't make principled mistakes in the next BP, the chance of winning this game is very high.
You must know that every newly remade hero is in its peak state. It has not been developed by players with countless whimsical ideas, causing consequences that almost affect the balance of the game.
Naturally, it will not be urgently weakened by the official design team.
It can be said that RNG is the first team to take advantage of this wave, and SKT on the opposite side is likely to become the background for the first wave of Sword Demon's popularity.
