"Okay audience friends, now I bring you the fourth game of the BO5 in the 2018 Intercontinental Finals. The two teams are the fourth seed RW from the LPL and the first seed KZ from the LCK!"
"Now the LCK has reached the edge of the cliff. The LPL is currently leading two to one. If the LCK doesn't win this game, it will lose one to three!"
In the commentary box, I remember there was excitement on my face.
The LPL has reached this level, and the odds of winning are extremely high.
Regardless of whether this game can be won or not, as long as IG appears in the fifth game, there is a high probability that it will help LPL win the championship!
This is a duel between two major divisions. Not every team in the World Championship is fighting alone, it symbolizes the honor of the entire division.
"To be honest, it is quite troublesome for RW to win against KZ! So far, KZ has been zero-blocked by IG at MSI, and lost to RNG in the group stage. Their winning rate against LPL is worrying. But in fact, the strength of RW and KZ
The difference is quite obvious!”
"You know, KZ is the No. 1 seed in the LCK, and RW is only the No. 2 seed in the LPL! When facing KZ's defeated opponent KT, RW didn't have much power to fight back. The chance of winning this game is still not too great.
"
Colonel Guan on the side shook his head.
Even at this time, he didn't think RW could be KZ's opponent.
Judging from the LPL's record, in addition to IG's dominance, RNG is also far ahead of other teams. Strictly speaking, EDG and RW should be the third echelon of the LPL.
Compared with the multi-strong structure of LCK, the gap between the upper and lower limits is too big.
KZ's loss to IG and RNG is acceptable, but if it really loses to the third-tier teams of EDG and RW, doesn't it mean that the top four teams in the LCK are just third-rate teams in the LPL?
"The game hasn't started yet, everything is unknown! Before the last game started, weren't most people optimistic that RNG could defeat SKT?"
Rita frowned after hearing what the senior colonel said.
Even though there seems to be a clear gap in strength between RW and KZ on paper, the morale of the LPL is now strong. After losing one game at the beginning, they won two games in a row, and they are officially full of momentum.
On the other hand, the LCK side is standing on the edge of a cliff, and it is inevitable that they will take action.
This mental advantage is even more terrifying than the advantage in the game.
"That's right! I see that the RW players are all very motivated and don't feel downcast when facing strong opponents!"
The person on the side also nodded in agreement with Rita's point of view.
When I saw the RW players entering the arena, although they didn’t have too many smiles on their faces and were quite serious, everyone’s eyes were firm. It was obvious that they were very motivated and had a strong desire to win!
Seeing that both his partners were contradicting him, the senior colonel couldn't continue to argue on this topic, otherwise he would definitely suffer a loss.
And as an LPL commentator, I naturally hope that LPL can win, even if I subconsciously think that RW is not KZ's opponent.
After a moment of pause, the colonel changed the subject: "Okay, now both players are ready, let's take a look at their BP."
"In this round, RW is on the blue side and has the right to grab first. On the other side, KZ is on the red side and can get the counter position!"
"In the first round, KZ chose to kill Galio, Sword Demon and Kai'Sa!"
"emmmm... RNG's Sword Demon was too eye-catching in the last round, which caused LCK to suffer a big loss! It seems that KZ is worried about whether the LPL teams can communicate with each other, and they all hide Sword Demon's ultimate move. It will be difficult to
Then I decided to deal with the sword demon directly."
Seeing KZ's first round of reservations, the senior colonel couldn't help but joke.
If RNG hadn't suddenly brought out the Sword Demon in the last game, LCK wouldn't have lost the most critical third game and been forced to the edge of the cliff.
Even if they win this round, when they face IG in the fifth round, their chances of winning are slim.
If I were the coach of KZ, I would give one of my seats to Sword Demon just in case.
"Yes, no one has a solution to the sword demon yet. If RW also has a sword demon, it will be really difficult to deal with. Getting rid of it is the best option!"
I remember nodding my head, and then said: "RW got rid of Lucian, Luo, and Kalista in the first round!"
"Brother Han's play style is very similar to that of Lao Sha. Some AD top laners are used very frequently and have strong suppression power! Recently, KZ's tactical system also tends to focus on the top lane. Even if RW has a pressure-resistant top laner like A Guang,
I’m afraid I’m not that relieved either.”
RW is still very stable. In addition to removing the red Fang Xialuo combination, the other two office positions are all given to the AD top laner.
Chen Yu said in the lounge that KZ's bottom lane duo is not very strong in lane suppression and is a team battle type. BDD in the middle is also a brush mid laner who loves lane.
Therefore, KZ's early rhythm basically depends on the jungle.
As long as we don't give the guy a hero that can easily give him an online advantage, it will be easier to solve.
"The managers of both sides have been adjusted to a certain extent, which is very targeted. However, there are still many heroes released. For example, the strong version of Sword Girl, Ornn, who is the first choice for resistance, and the famous hero Big Mouth of the old thief
, including EZ, which has a very high fault tolerance rate, are all outside. Which one will RW grab?"
Rita found every opportunity to express her opinions.
"I think it should be Big Mouth or Ornn! Big Mouth is the most trusted hero of the old thieves, and Ornn is the tank with the strongest resistance in the top lane! Normally RW will often choose these two heroes to build a system.
Their top laner and bot laner are very compatible. And it seems that no one in RW plays Dao Mei. They have basically never picked Dao Mei. The priority of Dao Mei is definitely not high."
Colonel Guan pondered for a moment and made a judgment.
However, RW's choice on the first floor surprised him.
He never expected that a pig girl would be targeted on the first floor of RW.
"Pig Girl? Why! There are Prince, Qinggangying, and even Blind Monk's jungler outside! My husband is a Korean aid. Are you sure you don't want him to use rhythm jungle, but use a weak Pig Girl?"
Colonel Guan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe that his judgment was so wrong.
"Perhaps RW wants to choose a stable lineup in this game? Moreover, it is not convenient to take out Big Mouth and Ornn too early, and they are easy to be countered! KZ has a counter position over there."
I remember frowning and explaining for RW.
Before he knew RW's specific thoughts, he could only explain it this way.
"As for KZ, there are a lot to choose from. Sword Girl and EZ have been released. Do you want to get them directly from the first and second floors?"
"Well, it's no problem for EZ to take it first! The one locked on the second floor is Morgana! Good guy, KZ's bottom lane combination has a high fault tolerance rate!"
When they saw that KZ locked EZ and Morgana on the first and second floors respectively, LPL fans breathed a sigh of relief.
[Huh~ Fortunately, there are two gangsters in the bottom lane. There is not much pressure, so my big mouth can grow comfortably. 】
[Is this because IG is imitating Momo? IG likes to take Morgana, so KZ will follow suit? 】
[The purpose of IG is to increase the upper limit of players' operations! Do you have such players in KZ? Can Hanzi and BDD compare with Broiler?]
[You can’t move with Bastard C in the bottom lane!]
...
The audience was satisfied with the reduced pressure on RW's bottom lane.
The old thief likes to play Kerry's ADC in the late stage, which is destined to be insufficient in early laning strength. If KZ chooses a strong bottom lane combination like IG, the old thief's development will be affected.
Although the two heroes EZ and Morgana have strong self-protection capabilities, their suppression power is insufficient. Apart from losing a little in pushing the line, there is basically no great danger to their lives.
It is generally difficult for professional players to be hit by Morgana's Q. Even Chen Yu's Morgana's Q skill's hit rate is not exaggerated. Most of the time, someone takes the lead to help control Morgana.
Only by keeping up with Q skill control, or Chen Yu directly flashing Q in the face, can he have a relatively impressive hit rate.
Therefore, no one is worried that Lao Thief and Qi Ya will be suppressed by the KZ bottom lane duo.
"Then is it possible that Morgana is the mid laner?"
Suddenly, Rita in the commentary box asked a question.
If Morgana is the mid laner, KZ can add a strong offensive support, and the bottom lane can also suppress people. After all, EZ's suppression power is not weak.
"It's unlikely. It's true that BDD likes to rely on the lane to develop, but he plays a big C hero in the late stage. Generally, tools like Morgana are not trusted by him."
Guan Daxiao, who is familiar with LCK, gave a direct conclusion.
Based on his understanding of BDD, it is almost impossible to use Morgana as a mid laner.
"RW still has a chance to get Sword Girl and Ornn. In the mid lane, Sword Girl, and in the top lane Ornn? If not, you can grab an Ornn."
Remember to speak softly.
KZ did not choose Ornn and Sword Girl on the first and second floors, but it gave RW the opportunity to get these two versions of powerful heroes.
"Karma, Kle! RW still doesn't dare to take it. KZ's top midfielder hasn't been determined yet. Once Ornn takes it out, it's easy for the man to single-target it with his long hand."
"Karma's support is good, I'll save AD for later. Anyway, Karma's support can be versatile! In addition, the hero Kle is considered a unique skill of RW. Aguang and Coin Brother's Kle are both very good at playing, and they can swing in the middle.
of!"
Seeing that Kalma and Kele were chosen on the second and third floors of RW, Colonel Guan couldn't help but praise them.
Klee is quite unpopular in the professional arena, but this is not because this hero is not strong enough, but because it requires very high game understanding from the players.
Therefore, there are very few players who can use this hero. Even IG has never used this hero. It is extremely difficult to find a team with two players who can use Klee.
But RW happens to be such a team.
"KZ chose Scorpion on the third floor! What's new! Scorpion's initiative ability is very strong, but it relies more on ultimate moves and flashes! But now that there are predators, the situation may be much better!"
"It seems that KZ is also preparing to play steadily in this round, using Scorpion's ultimate move to gain an advantage bit by bit."
I remember frowning slightly when I saw KZ choosing Scorpion as the jungler on the third floor.
The hero Scorpion is like Malzahar in the jungle position. No matter how developed he is, as long as his ultimate is there, you will get a quicksilver ribbon, otherwise he may hit you at any time.
The price of the mercury ribbon will also greatly delay the formation of core equipment.
"In the second round of placements, RW chose to target the top laner, and Jess Dao girl took care of them all. It seems that they are still preparing to resist the pressure on the road! We can't rule out the possibility of being ranked as the top laner!"
"KZ got rid of Ornn and Viktor! Well, they also know that Klei may be in the lane. Brother Coin's Viktor deserves respect. BDD Xia Huan plays the brush mid laner. Victor like Viktor is facing BDD in the late stage.
If you brush it, KZ won’t want to see it! In addition, Ornn also wants to prevent A Guang from being able to withstand the pressure better.”
"Finally on the fourth floor, KZ's choice is - Ice Bird?"
"hiss--"
When KZ locked the ice bird on the fourth floor, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.,
"Is this...for Clay?"
The face that I remember suddenly turned ugly.
Obviously, KZ's ice bird is aimed at Kelley.
Regardless of whether Kele is the mid laner or the top laner, in the final team battle, he still has to lead the team.
Klie's ultimate move accelerates the whole team forward. It is one of Klie's core skills, but like the veteran, it will be blocked by the terrain.
The ice bird that creates large areas of terrain is undoubtedly the victim of this type of hero.
As a mid laner who loves farming, BDD’s proficiency will definitely not be low!
With this ice bird, RW's Kle effect will be greatly weakened.
"KZ is the No. 1 seed in LCK after all, and BP is still good! The counter position is still reserved for the top laner. Let's see how RW chooses its last two moves!"
Colonel Guan sighed and changed the subject.
"RW's choice for the fourth floor is Captain! Aguang can't stand the pressure anymore, so choose a developed late-stage hero! The teamwork is also good."
"Is the last AD position a big mouth? KZ has nothing to do, so you can choose a big mouth for the old thief..."
"Huh? Death song?"
When RW locked the death song on the fifth floor, the remembered voice suddenly stopped and his eyes widened.
"What about ADC? RW doesn't want ADC anymore?"
It took a long while before I remembered to hold back a sentence.
"Is there a possibility that the captain will go down the road?"
Rita said weakly, the captain is a hero who needs to develop. If he is purely on the top lane for 1V1 laning, the captain is not afraid, but he is easily targeted by the jungler. It may be better if he is placed in the bottom lane with auxiliary protection.
It's just that it's rare for a captain to go down the road. Who dares to believe it?
At this moment, Colonel Guan's voice slowly came to mind: "Do you think this lineup is very similar to IG's?"
Everyone was stunned.
Then I heard Colonel Guan explain: "If this Death Song is the bottom lane, wouldn't it be much more flexible with the help of Karma?"
I remember that my face changed slightly with Rita.
"Do you remember that IG once played a dead song in the bottom lane, and the opponent was RW!"
The senior colonel continued to remind.
"You mean... RW stole IG's tactics?"
Remember to grow your mouth.
Colonel Guan showed a playful smile: "I'm afraid it's not just stealing, I feel that RW has improved it and added some of its own things!"
"Um?"
Remember to be a qualified compliment.
"Ahem..." Colonel Guan coughed twice and said: "The damage of the Death Song is very high, and the damage will be done even if you die. Once you are dead and in a good position, it will be very scary."
"But the fatal weakness of Death Song is that it is too bulky and cannot choose its own cemetery hahaha..."
Colonel Guan made a joke and continued: "But with the group acceleration of Kele and Karma, it will be different! They can take Death Song to wherever he wants to go!"
"In addition, the captain's ultimate move slows down the group, and the pig girl's ultimate move slows down the group. They are both methods that can be used in conjunction with Death Song to make it easier to enter the field!"
