"Okay audience friends, what I want to bring to you today is the final showdown of the 2018 Global Finals! We are now in Incheon! The two sides facing off in today's final are the number one seed ig from lpl, and the second seed from lpl
No. seed rng!”
"Yes, you heard it right! We will be in Incheon, as spectators of the World Championship, watching a replay of the LPL spring and summer finals! Watching an LPL civil war!"
November 3, 2018, Incheon, South Korea.
In the commentary box, Wawa spoke this opening statement in an excited tone, with moisture in his eyes.
After many years, these old commentators who have accompanied lpl to grow up have finally waited for this day.
"That's right! We finally waited until the lpl civil war begins in the finals of the world championship! Regardless of the outcome of the next game, we are qualified to say in advance that we are the champions! We are the champions again!"
Miller was equally excited, his face turned red and his voice was hoarse, just like the excitement when IG won the championship last year.
"Of course, we can't forget edg. Although they lost to rng in the semi-finals and failed to appear in the finals, they still gave us a wonderful bo5! In this world championship, edg is our most surprising discovery!
Even though they were defeated, they were still glorious!”
Colonel Guan spoke loudly.
After ig eliminated kt 3-0, the semi-finals between rng and edg also received widespread attention.
Being the second and third seeds of the lpl, whoever wins in the end will join ig in the finals and accomplish a feat.
But maybe edg encountered skt in the quarterfinals and used all their hidden tactics.
rng has the opportunity to take precautions in advance.
A long break allowed rng to thoroughly study the various systems currently displayed by edg.
Although edg fought fiercely with rng until the fifth game with strong willpower and fighting spirit, they were ultimately defeated.
However, for EDG fans, this year's World Championship is regrettable, but it is not unacceptable.
They broke the fateful curse of the quarterfinals and reached the semifinals.
And they eliminated their strong rival SKT in the quarter-finals, which was a breakthrough for themselves.
The audience still remembers that after the semi-finals, the factory director was interviewed with red eyes but a smile on his face.
They also played their part in the LPL finals and were one of the three teams to win the semi-finals.
They are also the heroes of the LPL, but their condition that day was slightly worse than that of their brother teams in the same division.
[It’s okay, edg has completed its transformation and will make a comeback next year. It’s still unclear who will win! 】
[rng is in better shape than edg this year, and it seems that only ig can stabilize rng. 】
[During the Asian Championships, our EDG used to laugh at themselves as inferiors, but now we are one of the semi-finals! I don’t blame them this year.]
...
After hearing this, the audience expressed their appreciation and understanding for edg.
If they lose to teams from other divisions, they may be a little sad.
But losing to a brother team in the LPL, and to RNG whose state in the summer split was obviously better than that of EDG, the audience was actually mentally prepared.
Most edg fans originally predicted for this game that edg would lose 1-3, but after edg eliminated skt, they had greater expectations.
In the end, edg was able to fight rng, who was no longer arrogant, until the fifth game when they ran out of ammunition and food. It can only be said that they lost luck.
"Okay, now that both players are ready, let me review the process of the LPL spring and summer finals."
In the commentary box, Miller brought the topic back to normal, but the meaning he expressed was full of pride.
This is a rare occasion when these LPL commentators can be confident.
"There are still many fans of ig and rng. There are many fans cheering for ig and rng at the Incheon venue, and the number is close to half."
Colonel Guan said with a half-smile.
Without the LCK team in the finals, LCK fans were naturally unhappy. Although the Incheon competition venue was packed, there were few cheers.
"In the first game, ig was on the blue side, while rng was on the red side! In the first round of positioning, ig chose to kill the three oldest ones, Gems, Luo, and Pan Sen! Staying the same in response to all changes, fully demonstrated
Master style.”
"On the rng side, we have eliminated Draven, Kalista, and Sword Demon! There are only three positions, and each one must be used with caution to maximize its effect."
"But in this way, Lucian is still inevitably given to ig! Perhaps in the eyes of rng, these three heroes in the office may be more threatening than Lucian."
Looking at the first round of seating arrangements by both parties, Wawa chuckled.
Both teams are LPL teams, so they don't have a particularly obvious tendency. I just hope that the two teams can play a wonderful and beautiful game.
"If you let Lucian go, ig will be rude! Just grab it from the first floor! ig's Lucian swings in three directions, and his tactical system is also very diverse, which is difficult to deal with."
Seeing IG lock Lucian instantly on the first floor, Colonel Guan had a smile on his face.
In his impression, ig can perform amazingly as long as they play Lucian.
Whether it is the popular top laner Lucian, or the broiler mid laner Lucian, including the Luna combination just developed by ig for this world championship.
These are all troublesome systems.
"Tsk, to be honest, ig's Lucian is difficult to deal with. But rng still needs to stabilize its rhythm! Although Lucian was robbed by ig, rng still has a chance to get Morgana, who can swing in five ways.
!”
"Morgana is a unique skill that Xiangguo has used in the World Championship! The three teams in this year's LPL have all used Morgana's wild core system. Should we put Morgana and Kai'Sa together on the first and second floors of RNG?
Lock it down?”
Miller took over the conversation and began to give rng ideas.
"Ka'Sa Titan! rng decided to take down the lane combination first! Although Morgana's system is very powerful, there is one thing everyone should pay attention to, that is, no matter which team uses the tactics flowed from ig in front of ig, they will be beaten by ig
In turn, it focuses on education. Although the first jungler Morgana used was the incense pot, he also admitted that this tactic was obtained from King Ning and also originated from ig."
"rng should be afraid of this and not dare to choose Morgana easily."
Seeing that rng's first and second floors gave up on Morgana and instead chose the bottom lane combination, Colonel Guan made his own judgment directly.
In his opinion, RNG is afraid that IG will turn against Morgana, so it does not dare to easily choose the unique system of its own jungler.
You know, in the recent competition, Morgana of Xiangguo is hopeless and unfavorable.
"Rng is afraid to take it, can ig take it? They have no worries at all. Rng is afraid of ig's attack, but ig is not afraid of rng's attack! Isn't it said that ig will be used in the world's tactics?"
The doll laughed and teased.
As more and more teams use ig's tactical system and learn from ig's playing style, a joke gradually spreads among the audience - the world's tactics come from ig.
But the description is quite appropriate.
Even a considerable part of the tactics used by the national team were brought over from IG by Chen Yu.
"No, ig didn't want to take it! On the second and third floors, we grabbed the combination of Galio and Qinggang Shadow first! This Morgana can be targeted, Qinggang Shadow does not have the ability to create terrain like the prince. And Gary
If Ao is locked, it means that ig's Lucian will most likely not swing to the middle."
Seeing that Qinggangying and Galio were chosen for the second and third floors of ig, although the commentators were a little strange, they didn't bother to think about it.
In their opinion, maybe ig hopes that this LPL civil war can be more exciting and famous in history. This does not target rng too much in bp, hoping that rng can show stronger strength.
"The third floor of rng can make up for Morgana, but they don't seem to be planning to use Morgana's system in this game! The third floor helped Emperor grab Ornn. Today rme, Wanjinyou has to increase the priority of the pressure-resistant top laner.
Level."
"In addition, rng took the initiative to kill Morgana in the second round, and also blocked Nami, the other half of Luna's combination. IG's Lucian still has the possibility of swinging to the bottom lane, rng can't
Dare to neglect."
"On the ig side, they got rid of vn and Enchantress. One is the mid laner who is very restrained by Galio, and the other is one of Xiaohu's unique heroes! You know, Xiaohu's Enchantress is not inferior to Broiler
Yes, the effect that Broiler can produce, Xiaohu can also produce! IG certainly doesn’t want a Broiler on the opposite side.”
The second round of appointments between the two parties aroused heated discussions among the public.
[Xiaohu’s Enchantress is good, but ig still doesn’t need to do it. It’s not that ig can ignore Xiaohu’s Enchantress, but spring has passed, and ig can ignore Xiaohu.]
[Hahaha, you are right, spring has passed and Xiaohu is no longer in peak condition. 】
[I don’t understand why RNG doesn’t dare to take Morgana? Even if I take Morgana, I might be targeted by ig, but it would be nice to have ig come up with another system.]
[Yes, if you let ig hide it, it will always be hidden. If you don’t test it in the first game of bo5, when will you test it? 】
...
The audience was talking a lot.
Some are making fun of Xiaohu's fluctuating status due to the seasons, while others are questioning the reason why RNG didn't choose Morgana's system.
As for ig, everyone has long been accustomed not to question it.
Because any doubts will eventually be slapped in the face by ig's victory.
"On the fourth floor of rng, add a Ryze! IG chooses Galio, and rng uses Ryze to follow. This is a routine operation. Although Ryze's mobility is not as good as Galio, his upper limit in the later stage is higher than Galio's.
A lot of it.”
"Next are the last two choices of ig. The first three choices of ig are quite satisfactory. Let's see if the next two choices can turn stone into gold!"
"The fourth and fifth floors of ig are - female gun and ice!"
"Good guys, Lady Spear and Han Bing? Is this a bottom lane combination? Who is the support and who is the adc?"
When they saw ig's choices for the fourth and fifth floors, the three commentators were stunned.
ig actually chose two adcs when they lacked a bottom lane combination.
"Let's just say, is it possible that Han Bing is the top laner?"
After pondering for a moment, Colonel Guan spoke quietly.
"you mean......"
The baby's face keeps getting weird.
"That's right, Lucian is still moved to the mid lane, and Hanbing goes to the top lane to torture Ornn, and the combination of the female gunner and Galio in the bottom lane! I played Hanbing top laner when watching the live broadcast of Lao Shai, and I was so happy!"
The senior colonel explained his judgment.
In his opinion, his guess is the most correct way to go.
Otherwise, it is incomprehensible that ig uses two crispy adcs to go down the road when rng chooses Titan to force support.
You know, Chen Yu's Xerath is very afraid of powerful openings such as the Titan Female Tank.
"Maybe it's true. Lucian is easier to beat Ryze in the middle. RNG has Ornn in the top lane. Any long hand can torture him. Anyway, IG likes to stay in the top lane and doesn't worry about being targeted by the opposite jungler. Bottom lane female
The gun accompaniment Galio can be considered to have some linkage! Galio's W flashes the control chain, which can fully deal the damage of the female gun's ultimate move."
Miller thought for a moment and agreed with Colonel Guan's point of view.
But rng obviously thinks more and more profoundly than they do.
The counter seat on the fifth floor has not yet been determined.
"The counter position on the fifth floor of rng is the jungler. What will he give to the incense pot? The positions of the five ig people are a bit difficult to guess. There are not many changes that rng can make!"
"It's Olaf! rng took out Olaf as a jungler and played a rush! ig is a three-AD lineup, and they are afraid of a warrior like Olaf who is immune to control. Especially ig, a hero that does not create terrain, Olaf opens
There’s no problem in sprinting in! This is a good move!”
Seeing RNG locking Olaf on the fifth floor, Colonel Guan showed admiration.
Since ig's lineup is generally brittle, especially since both Hanbing and the female gun have no displacement, Olaf will have a lot of room to play.
"Yes, Olaf has a lot of room to play. IG has too many squishy skins, and there are no heroes who can create terrain. If the development is good, there is no problem in killing one or two back rows in team battles. Even Galio is limited.
Can't stand Olaf's charge."
Miller nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the positions of the heroes on the field began to change.
The result was beyond everyone's expectation.
Blue square ig: top laner Lucian, jungler Qinggang Shadow, mid laner Galio, bottom lane female gunner and Han Bing.
Red square rng: top laner Ornn, jungler Olaf, mid laner Ryze, bottom laner Kai'Sa and Titan.
[Ig is really going down the lane with two ADs? And it’s ice support?]
[Is it so exaggerated? What the hell is ice assist? Can this thing be played? 】
[I think the most outrageous thing is the female gun support, and your whole ice support? Is this an exhibition match? 】
...
In the live broadcast room, both ig fans and rng fans were confused.
They couldn't understand why ig had to put two adcs in the opponent's bottom lane when they had a better choice.
Especially the unheard-of ice support is simply incredible.
"This may be ig's new routine. When ig came up with a new system in the past, weren't we unable to understand it? Let's wait and see what ig's new routine is like?"
There was a brief moment of embarrassment in the commentator's seat, as it seemed that the senior colonel felt that things could not go on smoothly.
In the end, the baby came out to smooth things over, liven up the atmosphere, and comforted everyone with ig's original performance.
But even they had doubts in their minds at this time, did IG really treat this civil war as an exhibition match?
