Ten players will appear on the scene at once, and each player whose name is read will say hello to the audience. Chen Lang and Faker are the most popular players among the two teams.
However, because the MSI was held in China, the entire CP team is very popular, especially Chen Lang and JackeyLove, who are the most popular and have the most fans in the team.
Next is theshy. Although his Chinese is not very good, he speaks unfamiliar Mandarin during the live broadcast, which is very funny and has a unique charm.
theshy is also a player who attracts fans because of his playing style, because like Chen Lang, they both like to show off their operations, and that kind of ceiling-level operation is what all players in LoL long for, so they are more popular.
Chen Lang and theshy usually play ranked in a bad way. If they come to catch one person, they won't lead the runner at all, they just have to fight 1 against 2...
The support rate at the scene was basically one-sided. Watching the game on the live broadcast platform also showed the real-time support rate of the two teams, with CP’s support rate as high as 90%!
That is to say, the opponent is skt. In the previous game, the support rate of other opponents was only 1%...
Judging from this situation, skt still has many fans in China.
Any team has the highest support rate in its own division. This is unquestionable. Even when SKT competed with North American teams last year, the North American team also had the highest support rate.
"They really have a lot of fans~"
After sitting down, the game was about to start, and Bang was chatting with his teammates.
"It's really awesome." Wolf nodded.
If he were a spectator, he would definitely like the team with good results rather than the team at the bottom. CP has excellent results now and was last year's champion. It is normal to have many fans.
SKT also had more fans instantly after winning the championship in S3. Before, the audience of LCK mostly liked KT and CJ.
"We can't lose today's game." Bang twisted his neck and prepared to throw punches.
faker and wolf nodded in agreement, they didn't want to lose to the same team again.
Last year's MSI loss to EDG delayed their Grand Slam achievement by a year, and they were extremely upset.
Now, another MSI is before their eyes, and they don't want to miss it again.
They need a victory to repay the support of their fans, and they also need this victory to revive the team and club and aim for the S-League!
After losing consecutively in the first half of the Spring Split, the team's atmosphere became much more solemn. Fortunately, they adjusted their condition and came back with a winning streak, which also made the team's running-in more stable.
"Win the first game first." Wolf looked at his teammates and said with a smile.
"Take that hero?"
"Um."
KKoma saw that the communication among the team members did not stop them from thinking. The significance of winning the first game is quite important, so let's follow them.
cp is on the blue side and skt is on the red side.
The ban players on both sides are no different from before. They are old rivals and are relatively familiar with each other.
"When cp picks Lucian, there is no problem." I remember seeing cp grabbing Lucian and communicating with the two commentators around him.
Abu nodded and said: "Lucian is a hero that is very suitable for CP. He swings in three lanes and plays very well. He can play a very good role whether he is playing solo or in the bottom lane."
Brother Snake smiled and said: "This is a classic swing. For CP, this hero can be placed in any lane. On the contrary, SKT needs to consider Lucian's position. CP's first move is absolutely no problem!"
skt chose spiders and trolls.
"Is this out of Ueno?" Brother Snake asked with a frown.
Abu nodded: "It should be the upper and jungle combination."
The appearance of the Spider means that the Troll cannot take the jungle position, so the Troll can only appear in the top lane or support position.
However, the hard assistants in the current version are all heroes such as Thresh or Tauren who are strong in starting a team, and there are even fewer Braum, because compared to the first two heroes, Braum's ability to actively start a team is much worse.
"SKT has made changes." Abu began to analyze: "Compared to heroes like Poppy, Troll is better at single belt, and his ultimate move can restrain tank heroes."
Troll is a hero that can both attack and defend. In the first battle between the two sides, Duke's Poppy basically had no effect. This also made kkoma understand that facing a player like theshy, if he chooses a pure top laner,
So basically the laning will be very miserable, so it is better to choose a warrior to fight with him.
He still trusts Duke, and Duke's ability is not bad.
"Spider jungle?" Hongmi was a little surprised to see SKT snatching the spider so quickly.
"This is to prevent us from choosing." Chen Lang guessed the other party's intention.
"We don't rule out this possibility." Hongmi nodded.
The hero Spider is very suitable for CP's early attack rhythm. It is too easy to jump over the tower to kill people, which can greatly expand the online advantage.
Moreover, Chen Lang likes to roam. Under CP's mid-field linkage, as long as he goes to catch people, he will basically die if he jumps over the tower. This makes the strategy of Spider, a hero with high output and fast pace in the early stage, very important.
"SKT chose Spider, so CP is left with two options. The jungler can either play at a pace like Prince, or play fast like Leopard Girl." As a coach, Abu has a very sharp vision.
The blind monk was originally a good choice, but unfortunately skt banned it, which means that in skt's bp, grabbing spiders and banning the blind monk is a bp lineup that has been decided long ago.
"Xiaotian's Leopard Girl doesn't have many hits, and compared to his Blind Monk, it's a lot worse." I remember saying.
Choosing Leopard Girl to fight spiders means relying on Leopard Girl's maneuverability to clear the jungle to increase the jungler level. When spiders are catching people, Leopard Girl can take advantage of this time to wipe out the opponent's jungle area even if she doesn't catch people or counter-crouch.
net.
There is no doubt about Leopard Girl’s speed in farming. No hero can farm faster than Leopard Girl.
"Want to choose Leopard Girl?" Hongmi looked at Xiaotian.
Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and then said: "My Leopard Girl is not very good..."
"Don't be nervous in the first game. Let's take a look at the opponent's condition first." Hongmi comforted Xiaotian.
"Then try it!"
CP chose Leopard Girl and Ike, and Ike is still a swing position.
"Is it easy for Ekko to fight trolls?" Remember to ask Abu.
Abu said: "It's not bad. It's not difficult to fight. It's better than ordinary fighters."
Ekko mainly deals three-level damage, and Troll is a hero that can compete with any hero, so the two of them basically can't kill anyone together.
However, Ekko's e can move and escape, and the troll's pillar is half useless.
Compared to the average top lane warrior, Ekko is much more flexible, and he is a hero who can just hit and go, rather than a warrior like Sword Queen who needs to fight to the death.
It is not easy for the Sword Queen to fight against the troll. After all, the troll's Q skill can increase its own attack power and reduce the enemy's attack power, which is very powerful in a duel.
Especially when warriors are fighting, this reduction in attack power is fatal, and Ekko's output method of hitting one set is obviously better than that of warriors.
Abu continued: "To be honest, it was a bit unexpected for SKT to help Ueno get the hero first today. I thought they would continue to use the ter position on the road as before."
Brother Snake smiled and said: "Maybe they think it's the same whether they take the top lane hero first or second~"
This is because Duke's strength is not as good as that of Theshy, and if he can't achieve the effect even if he gets the ter position, he will simply take the hero first.
However, this will cause you to be killed by your opponent.
Being out of the upper jungle first will make the troll very passive, unless skt shakes the troll to assist.
The explanation points of the three people are all based on the assumption that the troll walks up and Ike walks up.
skt then chose ez and czar, and the ter position was given to the support.
"SKT actually gave the ter position to the support!?" The commentator was shocked.
Generally speaking, it is meaningless to use the ter position as an assistant. It is far less useful than using the ter position in a single lane. After all, there are only a few choices for the support itself, and the bot lane is a two-person lane. The auxiliary cannot play a decisive role. At least it does not change the ecology of the bottom lane.
Chain qualifications.
"Is this a hidden trick?" Abu was also a little curious.
Obviously, there must be something to the bp of skt.
"Is Lucian still going down the road?" jackeylove asked.
Originally, in their expectation, Lucian would go to jackeylove, and then choose Crocodile in the middle to cooperate with Xiaotian's Leopard Girl. However, if ez was selected, it meant that SKT would not be able to fight in the bottom lane, and there would be no point in Lucian going down the lane.
So big.
After all, if this hero is placed in the bottom lane, jackeylove and lqs will not be able to kill in the lane. The selection of ez shows that the bottom lane must be developed, and skt may have to play the rhythm of the mid and top jungle, and their jungler is still a spider.
Although troll + spider is not a conventional combination, it is actually very difficult to get rid of once it is stuck, and it can still kill the opponent.
"If I take Lucian in the middle and Ekko moves in, it won't be that easy for me to hit the Czar in the lane." Chen Lang thought seriously.
Although Lucian is very strong in the lane, he does not have much advantage against the Czar because Lucian has a fatal flaw, which is short hands.
Except for the first few levels, the Tsar is a bit more difficult to deal with. However, Lucian has no good way to use the sand soldiers to finish the damage. After the level is high, Lucian can basically not touch the tsar, and the damage of the sand soldiers is not low. It is very difficult to force a blood exchange.
Injury, especially since the Tsar is a mage and possesses the talent of Thunder Lord.
"If Lucian goes up, I will be Ekko in the middle. What AD will you play in the bottom lane?" Chen Lang looked at jackeylove and asked.
"I can choose Jin to be a tool man." jackeylove said.
"Since the opponent chooses to mess around, let's fight against each other together and be the tool men with peace of mind."
"Okay." Hongmi agreed.
Therefore, CP chose the bottom lane combination of Jhin + Tahm Kench, and Lucian finally moved to the top lane.
Thresh is banned, so choosing Tahm Kench can protect people, and can also lead his teammates to set the pace.
When kkoma saw CP's choice, a smile appeared on his lips: "It worked, they took the bait."
Wolf raised his round head and said with a smile: "Hey~"
faker and bang look solemn, they will win this game!
Jhin is the most popular AD hero in the current version, and SKT deliberately released Jhin to CP just to get them to choose this hero, so that CP will fall into the trap.
...
In the first-level group, SKT did not fight. After all, the CP double shooters were present. The output of the first-level group was sufficient, and SKT did not have hard control. Once the CP got entangled, people might die.
Everyone played very steadily in the first three levels. The shy Lucian on the top lane has a great advantage against the trolls. Although the trolls are good at fighting warriors and tanks, they can only hide under the tower when facing Lucian.
Xiao Hei's first wave of gank was to catch the shy. Although he failed to catch theshy to death, he successfully knocked out his flash.
Xiaotian helped theshy squat on the top lane, but Xiaohei never came up again, which meant that Xiaohei did not squat on theshy.
Choosing a shooter on the top lane means that the jungler will take care of the top lane as much as possible, so Xiaotian thought about helping theshy counter squat. After all, the flash was also played, and it is very likely that the spider will catch him again.
This is the game between the two junglers. Unfortunately, Xiao Hei did not continue to forcefully catch him, but went to the middle. Theshy used e [Phase Dive] to avoid the spider's cocoon and avoid the gank.
It wasn't until 5 minutes before the first blood broke out. Xiaohei's spider caught and killed theshy Lucian on the top lane.
"This is a bit targeted!" I remember saying with a wry smile.
Xiao Hei has come to the road to catch him three times and finally caught theshy to death.
Brother Snake said: "Lucian is a hero like this. When you use it, you must have an advantage in the lane. If you have an advantage, you must press the line. If you press the line, you must be taken care of by the jungler~"
In the middle lane, Chen Lang and Faker are both developing, and neither one has an advantage. In the bottom lane, they are facing the chaos, but SKT will be more aggressive in exchanging blood because of Nami's recovery.
At 6 and a half minutes, Chen Lang and faker fought each other in the middle. The two showed off their skills, and both of them were reduced to residual health. They also used their ultimate moves, and then returned to the city to replenish their supplies.
Chen Lang was dealt a set of damage by faker's czar, and then he did not give up and chose to go in and fight with faker. Then faker pushed him away with his ultimate move. Chen Lang used his ultimate move to dodge faker's ultimate move. Both of them were
Couldn't kill the opponent.
On the contrary, when returning to the city, Chen Lang was killed by Xiao Hei's spider that flashed out of the wild area and then hung a wire out of the attack range of the defense tower.
At this point, skt's spider effect was effective, and both Chen Lang and theshy were caught to death.
At 10 minutes, the bottom duo battled, Xiaotian's Leopard Girl ganked the bottom lane, jackeylove parried and started sniping, lqs stepped forward to save people.
Seeing jackeylove release his ultimate move, Bang's ez threw his ultimate move [Precision Barrage] against lqs' tongue, which hit jackeylove steadily, and then wolf's ultimate move [roaring roar] rushed towards jackeylove.
The turbulent waves surged towards the position where jackeylove was sniping. In order to achieve the deceleration effect, jackeylove was blown up high with this ultimate move.
Bang's ez did not retreat but advanced, his e-face was close to jackeylove, wolf flashed simultaneously and used q [Prison of Blue Waves] to knock jackeylove's Jhin away again!
"Jackeylove is going to die!" I remember shouting loudly: "SKT was not afraid when Xiaotian's leopard girl came to attack, but calmly chose to fight back!"
Brother Snake took a breath of cold air and said: "Jackeylove wanted to slow down the SKT duo in order to save people and use his ultimate move, but this became the reason why he was killed!"
When Jhin enlarges his move, his sight range will be very long. Jackeylove sees SKT's skill, and even if he wants to take action to avoid it, it is too late, because canceling the ultimate move is a bit slow, and he cannot resume action immediately.
It is this slowness that makes jackeylove unable to avoid skt's skills!
jackeylove was killed without any surprise, and Xiaotian's Leopard Girl came to the bottom lane and it was only 2v2.
However, Bang and Wolf were close to full health, and they were not afraid of Xiaotian and lqs at all. This wave of CP's roaming was actually beaten by skt, and Xiaotian and lqs' flashes were all beaten out.
At this point, skt's advantages have been established.
"Ez and Nami chose this one for Jhin, right!?"
After this wave of fighting, the commentators have already seen the clues.
Jhin's big move is completely defeated by Nami, and ez's big move does considerable damage as long as it doesn't hit multiple units.
Soon, the same scene happened again.
The two sides had a teamfight at the Canyon Pioneer at 13 minutes. Jackeylove's Jhin zoomed in on poke first. As a result, Wolf's Nami directly aimed her ultimate move at the position where Jackeylove's zoom was, as did Bang's ez.
Then jackeylove's ultimate move was interrupted, faker came in and directly cut jackeylove to death, and then used his ultimate move to push Xiaotian and lqs back. SKT started the team perfectly, and CP fought back in embarrassment.
In the end, skt2 exchanged for 5 and won the team battle.
The Pioneer was taken over by SKT, and they took down the dragon, and then began to advance with the buff of the Canyon Pioneer.
Next, SKT played steadily, and CP did not have the means to force a group start, so they played very passively.
Facing the minions buffed by the vanguard, CP can only do so much and can only fight and retreat.
Next, as long as jackeylove is enlarged in a team fight, wolf's ultimate move will definitely interrupt jackeylove's ultimate move, directly invalidating Jhin's ultimate move!
At 23 minutes into the game, Bang's ez entered a strong period, and the advanced ez was unstoppable.
In addition, Bang is very stable, making no mistakes at all, and is extremely stable, just like a robot that has been given instructions. In the end, the game ended at 33 minutes. SKT used the two dragon buffs to forcefully push CP's crystal.
skt won the first game of bo5!
The momentum of the audience instantly dropped, and everyone began to worry about CP.
The strength gap between the two sides is not big, so it is normal for whoever wins.
However, the audience had very high expectations for CP and hoped that they could win the game. However, seeing that they were beaten so badly in the first game and had no ability to fight back, the audience couldn't help but become nervous for CP.
