Chapter 58 Extra round, Ye Xiu’s status in the team
Counting the extra match against C9, EDG has played four consecutive games.
Playing a game is a very tiring thing, and the faces of EDG players inevitably show a little exhaustion at this time.
Ye Xiu was okay, and felt that her condition had not declined too much.
"This is the last game. We even defeated SKT. We must not lose to C9."
The whole team was in awe, took out their war horses and took two sips.
No one can accept losing to C9, it is not even as satisfying as losing to SKT.
Arriving at the players’ bench, players from both sides began to debug the equipment.
"Come on Show treasure!"
"Show, show, show! Show off!"
"Duck!"
While the audience cheered, the doll said: "Hello everyone, welcome to the match between EDG and C9. I am the commentator of this game."
"I'm Miller."
Wawa: "EDG defeated SKT cleanly in the last game, and the score was the same as C9.
Whoever wins this extra round will be ranked second in the group and advance to the quarterfinals."
"To be honest, I'm a little nervous." Miller took a breath and said, "Although I think EDG is stronger, nothing is absolute. Until the result comes, C9 still retains hope of qualifying."
Wawa smiled and said: "Don't be so pessimistic. The most difficult level has passed. I believe the boys from EDG will be able to move forward bravely and win the qualifying spot in Group A."
"Dear viewers watching the game, let us cheer for EDG together, okay?"
"EDG! EDG!"
At this moment, the LPL audience was united and cheered for EDG.
"listen!"
Even though the players on both sides were wearing headphones, they still heard faint sounds.
The C9 team members frowned, and the pressure in their hearts skyrocketed.
On the contrary, the EDG players seemed to be inspired, and some of their tense nerves were slightly relieved.
This is home field advantage!
"Brothers, come on, come on."
"Everyone, get up and carry."
During the conversation, the screen changed and the screen turned into the BP interface.
BP begins!
Wawa was refreshed: "The equipment of the players on both sides has been debugged and they have entered the BP stage."
Miller: "EDG is still on the red side in this round. I feel like EDG has a soft spot for the red side."
Wawa: "The advantage of the red side lies in the counter position, and they can also directly choose one or two to form a bottom duo at the same time."
During the commentary, both sides had completed the first round of bans.
The top three bans of C9 are: Sword Girl, Galio, and Rakan.
EDG's first three bans are: Male Gun, Kalista, and Shen.
"Oh? C9 has banned Sword Girl?"
"Respect the swordswoman who shows off her skills."
"EDG also targeted Contractz's male gun, and BP on both sides were very targeted."
"C9 chooses first...it should be the Feng Nu."
Having said that, C9’s first choice is locked—Feng Nu.
When Xia Luo cannot appear at the same time, Fengnu Lulu is the team's first choice.
EDG backhand lock - Lulu, Pig Girl.
"No problem." Watanabe: "Feng Nu plays a classic matchup with Lulu, and Pig Girl is the best hero played by the factory director."
Miller: “Now it mainly depends on what the C9 jungler will get. The C9 jungler is a rare carnivorous jungler in this world championship. With the male gun being banned, I don’t know what hero he will choose to jungle.
"
I have to say that EDG's BP is indeed very stable. They banned the male gun just because they didn't want to give C9 a chance to fight, but...
"EZ+Kasumi."
The C9 coach decisively locked on the two heroes EZ and Xayah.
ah?!
Seeing EZ, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was EZ jungler.
"Damn it, you dare to choose this thing?"
Within the EDG team, several players were also a little dumbfounded.
Can EZ play jungle? Yes, but it's too risky.
Once there is no particularly big advantage in the jungle, the role that EZ can play is quite limited.
Ye Xiu's eyes flashed and he realized what C9 was thinking: "They want to fight with bayonets."
"We can't give them a chance." The factory director said, "Let's choose a solid lineup and wait for them to make mistakes."
"Show, what do you think?"
I?
Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, not expecting to ask himself, but to be honest, he didn't have much idea.
The lineup he played against SKT was a lineup he determined after a long period of preparation. As for C9, he has never studied C9 at all, so it is difficult to make targeted BP.
To put it simply, it is impossible to reproduce the lineup that can restrain SKT. After all, the lineup changes, and the lineup that can target SKT may not be able to target C9.
This is also the meaning of the existence of the coaching staff. BP is not a simple laning game, but also considers players, tactics, laning, team battles and other aspects to finally find the best BP plan for the opponent.
The coaching staff has a lot of time to study these things, but the players don't.
Therefore, it is completely nonsense to say on the Internet that players can replace coaches as BPs.
But having said that, players can indeed put forward their own ideas.
"I think there's nothing wrong with what Qi Jiang said." Ye Xiu said: "But if it's the opposite EZ, it will be very difficult for Pig Girl in the jungle."
Nofe is also worried about this issue. Can the factory director really handle the pressure?
"Don't worry, he won't be able to catch me, but he may not be able to take care of me online."
"Let's be more stable online."
After some deliberation, EDG’s third choice was finally determined—Big Insect.
The first round of BP was over. Looking at EDG's two front rows, everyone felt a lot more at ease.
"C9 worked too hard in selecting players." Wawa said with a smile: "If they can't get the advantage, C9 won't even be able to beat the two front rows of EDG."
"EDG just needs to be stable."
Although they are only the top three choices, insiders can basically see the thinking of the two teams.
C9 attacks, EDG defends.
Immediately afterwards, the second round of BP began.
EDG banned Narr first, C9 backhandedly banned Enchantress and Policewoman, and EDG chose to ban Troll in the last ban.
Third class top order!
When he saw EDG's ban, Da Mu's expression suddenly changed.
Originally, he wanted to choose Gnar to fight the big bugs, but...
"The opponent's top player has such a high status in the team?"
The C9 coach frowned. The big bug is just a rotten piece of meat. EDG actually used three ban positions to protect it. This is outrageous.
“Who do I use to kill the big bugs?”
Damu adjusted the interface to the top lane hero selection area. There are only a few heroes that are good at fighting big bugs - Shen, Gnar, and Troll.
Now that three heroes have been banned, other heroes can only be considered.
"Kenan can actually do it."
Kenan?
The C9 coach looked at the lineup, shook his head and said, "Kenan can't do it. Our lineup lacks a front row, and the top laner needs to be more open-minded."
"..."
Damu was speechless, the coach's words were already obvious.
"Then I'll take the big tree."
On the screen, EDG’s fourth selection confirmed Varus, and C9’s hero selection—Big Tree, Syndra.
At this point, the C9 lineup has been selected, leaving only EDG with one counter position.
Nofe: "Want Lucian?"
"Please say goodbye to Lucian." Ye Xiu said quickly: "Lucian dies too easily."
Junior student: "Let me be Ryze."
"Ritz can."
After confirmation, EDG’s special position locked the hero-Ryze.
The lineups of both sides are as follows:
C9, blue square.
EDG, red square.
Top order: Big tree VS big insect
Jungler: EZ VS Pig Girl
Mid laner: Syndra VS Ryze
Bottom Lane: Xayah VS Varus
Assist: Feng Nu VS Lulu
Players from both sides change heroes for each other.
After adjusting the skills, the game enters the loading interface.
