Although edg lost the game, it was ridiculed by many lpl netizens.
But winning or losing one game is still not enough to affect their path to the knockout rounds.
As long as they play well in the following games, edg will still have a chance to advance!
However, edg's defeat also proves from the side that Group B is truly a group of death.
Compared with the clear divisions between the other groups or the big brawl in Group C, the confrontation in Group B is particularly fierce.
Everyone's strength is about the same, and it's hard to say who will win or lose until the last minute.
The forum was polarized.
On one side are netizens who are outright laughing at edg, and on the other side are posts cheering edg. They all hope that edg can learn from his shame and be brave enough to win and qualify in subsequent competitions!
Where there is worry, there is joy. After the edg game is over, it will be the game between tsm and ssg.
In this game, the lck audience broke through the defense, and the lpl audience was extremely happy.
Because tsm is "bloody" ssg!
Overwhelming ssg in the whole game, tsm maintained a record of 13-1 before winning the baron!
After getting the Baron buff, I pushed forward again and directly hit SSG to kill the team with 0 for 5!
At the end of the game, the head score between tsm and ssg is 18-1!
This level of crushing is like CP beating the wild card team Intz!
The state of ssg directly detonated the entire network, and tsm also gave North American audiences hope of advancing to the quarterfinals!
For a time, tsm became the light of North America.
For lpl, rng has just defeated tsm and has a relatively large advantage, and ssg was beaten by tsm. Doesn't this mean that rng can also beat ssg?
To take a step back, among this group, rng's probability of qualifying is much higher.
Immediately afterwards, rng's game started again, and their opponent was spy from the European division.
There was no suspense, the game ended in 25 minutes, rng won another victory, and the group stage started 2-0!
After the rng game, there is another cp game.
This is also the last game of the day.
CP's opponent is ahq from the LMS division, which is the team of Ximen Yeshuo who was in the same group as SKT in last year's World Championship and single-handedly killed Faker.
"I wonder if the player westdoor will play today!"
At the commentary desk, Changmao, Xiaoxiao and Sika jointly gave commentary.
Westdoor means Ximen Ye said, this is his ID.
After playing S5 last year, he wanted to rest for a while, and then ahq introduced chawy player as the starting mid laner. Now the two are in the rotation.
"To be fair, Westdoor should be allowed to play in this kind of event, right?"
Xiaoxiao was wearing a suit and glasses, with some sparse hair on top of her head. She spoke with a greasy smile and touched her increasingly thinning hair.
Sika is a fat man weighing over 200 pounds. His suit obviously doesn’t fit him well, and the buttons are so tight that one can’t help but suspect that they will fall apart at any time~
"I think chawy is playing pretty well, and ahq may train him in the first round of the group stage."
Sika looked at Xiaoxiao and Changmao and said: "The pressure in the first round of the group stage is less. We can train the players and let them adapt to the atmosphere of the World Championship. Ximen is a veteran, he is more like the Dinghai Shenzhen in the team.
It’s better to play in the second round.”
"After all, the two of them are rotating mid laners. If ahq wants to go further, I think chawy will still be given time to adapt."
Changmao looked at the two of them and nodded: "What you said makes sense."
Soon, players from both sides came on stage.
"It's Simon!"
"That would be interesting!"
When Ximen Ye said appeared, Xiaoxiao and Sika both laughed.
In last year's World Championship, apart from skt and cp, the one who left a deep impression on global lol audiences was Ximen Ye's Little Murloc.
Before the finals, faker was still the devil, and his dominance in the middle was unshakable.
Ximen Ye said that the little fish man killed Faker twice, which made many people cheer for Ximen Ye said. They also remembered this man who "repeatedly" killed Faker.
So, when he appeared today, many audience members cheered enthusiastically to welcome Ximen Yeshuo.
As a professional player, the happiest thing is this moment, being recognized and loved by the audience, and having the audience cheer for you.
Ximen Ye said that he was no exception. He heard the voices of the audience, smiled and waved to the audience.
"He is the only player who chose Xiaoyu in the reverse version of the World Championship. His Xiaoyu is really good at it." Xiaoxiao said in a disgraceful manner.
Sika, the fat man, put his hands steadily on the table and said with a smile: "It is indeed quite powerful, but his little fishman may not be able to do it when meeting Brother Lang~"
"Brother Lang is good at killing fishmen."
Xiaoxiao retorted: "That's for beating ordinary fishmen, but it's not necessarily the case for beating Ximen~"
"You have forgotten that during the German Cup match of Cuttlefish, we encountered Brother Lang's team and were beaten to a bloody pulp by them."
"Of course I remember." Xiaoxiao replied.
Sika continued: "Then have you forgotten how Brother Lang used cards to defeat the 50-50 murlocs?"
There is also a saying about the 50/50 fishman. In S3, he was even called the world's number one fishman~
"Xiaoyu Tianke card!" Xiaoxiao argued with reason.
Sika: "Brother Lang specializes in fighting masters."
"..."
I can't continue talking like this today.
However, the interruption between Xiaoxiao and Sika did remind the audience of the days when Chen Lang was the anchor of Moyu.
From that time on, I had my first glimpse of Chen Lang's bottomless hero pool.
The deep hero pool also shows from the side that they are strong. Pawn, faker and other well-known players, which one is not like this?
Xiaoxiao and Sika commentators like to talk about things that have nothing to do with the game, but the audience just likes to listen to the two talking nonsense, mainly because their chat is very interesting.
Either pornographic or coquettish...
The most classic thing is that when the two of them were commentating with the football king Bella in the early days, they were on the left and right, with Bella in the middle. Their eyes frequently glanced at Bella's chest~
"However, cards are still a relatively popular choice at the moment. If CP chooses cards, the probability of Ximen getting the fishman is not low."
Back to business, Xiaoxiao analyzed the game carefully.
...
CP did not choose to ban Xiaoyuren.
Although Ximen's little fish man is very powerful, this hero is not a mainstream hero, and Chen Lang is not afraid of Ximen's choice.
Another reason is that CP may use the top laner Murloc to make him a swing position.
This depends on the specific lineup of ahq.
"CP banned Bard, Ice Girl and Digger, ahq banned Leopard Girl, Syndra and Blind Sin!"
Changmao said: "The bans on both sides are relatively conventional. In the current version, junglers like Leopard Girl and Blind Monk have very strong dominance in the jungle. Ahq doesn't want to give them to CP."
"CP bans heroes who focus on roaming. Ice Girl clears lines quickly, and Bard and Excavator have strong ganking abilities."
In fact, this World Championship is a major test for junglers.
Because there are only a few options for popular junglers, you can either ban or choose.
Once a hero is banned too many times and the jungler has no heroes to choose from, it depends on his own jungler hero pool.
Moreover, not every jungler can play the hero Leopard Girl, and many people don’t understand it.
Xiaotian is not very good at developing core jungle heroes, he is better at rhythm jungle.
"Cards?" theshy asked.
"Card." Chen Lang nodded.
jackeylove asked again: "Brother Lang, when you choose a card, the opponent must have a small fish, and it will be difficult to fight in the lane."
After all, he is a murloc who can kill faker alone. Jackeylove felt a little panicked when she saw Chen Lang snatching the card.
It would be okay if it were someone else, but it would be really worrying if it were Ximen.
Chen Lang smiled and said, "No problem."
"I hope he chooses a small fishman, so that I can control the lane development, and fly when the time comes, which can restrain him well."
"But it's great for the little murloc to play cards online." jackeylove sounded worried.
"It's okay, he can't do it." Chen Lang said domineeringly.
When he said that Ximen Xiaoyu was not good, Chen Lang's tone was full of arrogance.
"ojbk, then I'll listen to you, Brother Lang!"
After the cards are determined, aqh starts selecting.
"Ximen, why don't you teach me a lesson when I get a card in front of you?" Ziv, the top laner of ahq, said teasingly to Ximen Ye.
"There's no rush." Ximen Ye said, not discouraged. He was very calm: "Get the other heroes first."
"Um."
Since the opponent's middle lane has been selected, there is no need to select another lane at this time. You can help other lanes grab heroes first.
ahq's strategy has been decided. He chooses Hanbing in the bottom lane, and the jungler surrounds the middle to fight up. Hanbing's e can detect Xiaotian's position, which can prevent gank very well.
ahq chose Rambo and Ice.
"For cards in the middle lane, we need to get a DPS hero in the top lane." Hongmi said: "They top lane Rambo, we can take Jayce."
The card is very good at catching people and can help teammates establish an online advantage.
Therefore, choosing a damage-type top lane hero is the best choice.
"Let's take a look at the opponent's top laner before making a decision." Chen Lang said: "Give the shy counter the position, so you can have better choices. There is no need to play Jace first, as it is easy to be targeted."
"Alright." Hongmi said, "Then take Nosuke."
The current version has a lot of soft assists, but hard assists are not that popular.
If they take support first, they will have more options.
"If you choose a soft assistant, you will be less able to start a group. How about we take Nami?" Chen Lang said.
A lineup quickly emerged in Hongmi's mind, and he smiled: "Okay."
"The jungler chooses the prince."
CP locked the two pairs of Nosuke heroes, Prince and Nami.
"CP has released Nosuke, which means the counter position has been moved to the middle and lower positions!"
Sika nodded and said: "The prince and Nami both have the means to start a team, and Nami also has the ability to reply. In the early and mid-term, we are not particularly afraid of Rambo's ultimate move."
Unless the equipment is formed in the later stage, Rambo's ultimate move will cause very high damage, resulting in insufficient recovery.
Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "The most important thing is, have you noticed it?"
"What?" Changmao asked in confusion.
Xiaoxiao said: "That's because aqh prematurely released top laner Rambo, which made it impossible to replace their top laner. The combination of CP's Prince + Nami is not only powerful in starting a team, Prince can also cooperate with a
Heroes are very powerful in team fights!”
Sika took over Xiaoxiao's words: "Kainan!"
"Rambo is easy to fight in the lane. Needless to say, theshy's laning ability can definitely overwhelm Rambo. In team fights, Kennen's Tianlei and Prince's ultimate move can be coordinated. Once the two's ultimate moves work well together, the team fight will be a success.
Absolutely devastating!"
Changmao's face lit up: "Yes!"
Looking at BP with a smile, the smile on his face became even bigger: "CP's BP is much better than ahq~"
...
"The opponent's lineup is a bit strong for team play." ahq's coach looked serious.
After seeing CP's choice, he also knew that CP's top laner would choose Kennen.
It's just that he can't change it now.
We can’t let Rambo go to the middle!
In this case, wouldn’t the card be unsolvable?
"When I get the line rights, I'll go out on the road and catch them more." Ximen Ye said.
When it was determined that the middle lane of the CP was a card, Ximen had already decided to play with the little murloc.
On the one hand, it is its own signature hero, and on the other hand, the murloc is very good at playing cards in the lane, and the murloc has the power to play in the lane.
They discussed the situation within the team, so ahq chose Wet Nurse and Olaf.
The wet nurse provides a reply. Olaf will not be controlled when he activates his ultimate move, which is a more restrained CP starting lineup.
The most important point is that Olaf is easier to catch on the top lane. After level 6, he can use his ultimate move to attack him hard, and Kennen's ultimate move cannot stun him.
The lineups of both sides were basically formed, jackeylove said: "Should I choose Jhin?"
Toolman AD is still the mainstream in this version. Jhin, ez and Ice are basically the most frequently played adcs in the World Championship.
"No need for Jhin, I need you to supplement your output, Lucian." Hongmi said.
The output of Lucian paired with Nami is very high. Although Lucian has short hands, judging from ahq's current lineup, Lucian does not lack the output environment.
What's more, the prince and Kennen can also provide team control, and all jackeylove needs to do is harvest.
As expected, ahq chose the little fish man in the last choice. The little fish man Ximen Ye mentioned appeared on the field again!
The moment the little fish man was confirmed, the whole audience burst into warm cheers!
European and American audiences still have an impression of the little fishman Ximen Ye said, which is equivalent to Faker's calamity. Once chosen, the audience will definitely burst into enthusiastic cheers.
The same is true if Chen Lang chooses Yasuo or Ekko.
After all, one of the most popular heroes is also the owner of the skin.
The other hero is a classic duel between him and faker. The two showed off their skills to the extreme, and it was cut into the history of lol!
The operation of the two people at that time can be said to be the most outstanding operation in the World Championships over the years!
The lineups of both sides are finalized:
Blue side cp, top laner Kennen, jungle prince, midlane card, bottom lane Lucian and Nami.
Red side ahq, top laner Rambo, jungler Olaf, mid laner Murloc, bottom laner Han Bing and nanny.
The two sides did not engage in a first-level team fight, and the bottom lane directly went online in advance to seize the opportunity to face off online.
The ahq bottom lane combination came to the grass in the bottom lane, jackeylove and lqs were in the grass on the opposite side, and the two bottom lane combinations stood opposite each other.
However, they didn't know each other was in the grass.
Albis, ahq's auxiliary nanny, missed a moment in the grass and directly inserted the figures of jackeylove and lqs.
"Hit!" jackeylove shouted.
lqs' Nami has acquired a level 1 e skill, which strengthens jackeylove's Lucian's basic attack and skills. He rushes forward to hit the opponent.
Hanbing backhandedly threw W [Thousands of Arrows] to slow down, but they soon knew they were wrong.
It turns out that Chen Lang's card ran over from the river!
He was moving very fast while driving, and the yellow card was thrown directly on Han Bing's body in seconds!
Han Bing saw the card coming and immediately chose to escape in a flash!
However, before he flashed, Chen Lang's yellow card had been thrown out, and Han Bing was stunned on the spot!
