All SKT members watched the match between ROX and CP.
At the beginning, everyone was still commenting on the BP of both parties.
It wasn't until the combination of Han Bing and the female gun came into play online that they were surprised by the power of this combination.
"Jai Wan." KKoma looked at Wolf Haobang and asked: "If you two face this combination, can you handle it in the bottom lane?"
Bang thought for a moment and shook his head modestly.
Wolf nodded: "I can handle it."
"This combination relies too much on the ultimate move, and the CD time of the ultimate move in the early stage is very long, so it's not a big problem."
"If I were to go against this combination, I am confident that I can have an advantage in the lane, and as long as I flash in my hand, Han Bing's ultimate move cannot hit me, and I will not be killed."
"When the time comes, I will be weak. Even if Junzhi is shot, I will be able to use the female gun to weaken him and reduce his damage."
When kkoma heard what wolf said, he felt much more at ease.
Although he was very surprised to see this combination, he still believed in his own players.
Since they said it can be solved, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"That's good." Kkoma nodded calmly and said, "There is still time to find a way to restrain himself."
"If it really can't be solved by then, there is still a way to deal with it."
The coaching staff behind them nodded, they would look for flaws in this combination.
Wolf thinks it's nothing. His performance this year has been very good. It can be said that he is in the best condition since he started playing professionally, so he is very confident.
Compared with this combination, he pays more attention to the performance of the players on the court.
"Compared to CP, I prefer to play ROX." Wolf sighed softly.
The rest of the team members thought so too.
On the one hand, they hope that ROX will advance so that S6 will be a Korean civil war, which will be beneficial to their strength in the first division.
The other is that the upper limit of CP is higher than ROX.
The main reason is that Chen Lang is good at TheShy. It has to be said that in the CP game, a large part of the upper limit operations are the operations performed by these two people.
Moreover, as an opponent who defeated them twice last year and this year, although the SKT players want revenge, they have to admit that they are still a little afraid of the CP team.
Faker was the only one who didn't nod. He looked intently at the game on the screen in front of him.
For him, the opponent he most hopes to face is CP!
He hopes to defeat the man who defeated him twice with his own hands. Only taking the trophy from Chen Lang's hands is the victory that will make him happy and hearty!
Faker's external image has always been very humble, so the outside world perceives him as a Confucian and peaceful person.
But in fact, Faker himself is a very arrogant person.
It can be seen from the heroes he liked to play and the operations he played when he debuted that he was very confident. Otherwise, he would not have left so many wonderful operations.
Moreover, he won't leave so many "dirty words" behind.
Including, he likes to use the heroes his opponents have used to defeat his opponents on the field, and he likes this style of fighting violence with violence.
In fact, every well-known player is very confident, has his own pride in his heart, and thinks that he is the strongest person.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to reach that height.
This kind of self-confidence and pride are the characteristics of a person's success. If he doesn't have self-confidence in himself, then he will not dare to make those "amazing" operations in the game.
Faker saw Chen Lang's performance today, and he also sketched in his mind the scene of his confrontation with Chen Lang.
Faker was very sorry that he couldn't play a training match with CP. He still really wanted to play against Chen Lang.
It can be said that in this World Championship, Chen Lang has always been the biggest opponent in Faker's mind. Kuro and Crown are not particularly powerful opponents in Faker's eyes.
...
Everyone in ROX returned to the lounge.
"I didn't expect their lineup to be so strong as a team." GORILLA sat on a chair, rubbing her hair regretfully.
The long hair was being torn wildly, and strands of hair fell from the air.
This feeling of having an advantage online only to be beaten back by the opponent is very uncomfortable.
Especially in such a crucial match, it was even more unbearable for these proud young men.
It can be said that there is no weak team in the team that can reach the semi-finals, and these players are also the pride of heaven, and each one is more ambitious than the other.
They can accept failure, but they cannot accept failure when they have an advantage online but cannot beat the opponent!
Smeb was silent. Little Peanut raised his head and stared at the ceiling, a little lost in thought.
The first game can be said to be a disastrous defeat.
This hit them hard.
"cheer up!"
ADC player Pray stood up looking at everyone's frustrated looks and clapped his hands.
The crisp sound drew everyone's attention.
"This is the first round of BO5, don't be discouraged!"
Rat King Pray continued: "We failed in the World Championship last year, and we also failed in the Spring Split this year, but we never thought about giving up, and finally won the championship in the Summer Split!"
"Now, we are standing here again, facing the world and the audience who support us, do you want to give up!?"
"Now, let's not think so much and play the current game well. The second game is about to start. We can't be immersed in the first game. We have to find a way to win the second game!"
"Yes!" Smeb echoed loudly.
"We have finally made it to the World Championships. The goal we are chasing is the championship. Sooner or later, we will have to face this level. Whether it is SKT or CP, they are not teams that can be easily defeated. We need to put in 200% of our energy to do so.
!”
"Wanghu played very well just now. Judging from the rhythm of the jungle, we outperformed the opponent. It's just that we suffered a loss from their lineup. In the second game, we were on the red side. We can also steal this combination!"
"I can choose Jayce on the road to cooperate with the lineup poke, or I can choose Rambo to cooperate with the team battle."
Assistant GORILLA suddenly raised her head, eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, we can steal this combination!"
"CP has just released this combination. They don't know that we can also use it, and they may not necessarily target it. Therefore, we have a chance to win this combination!"
"Just fight!"
The game is about to begin, and all ROX members muster up the courage to attack again.
"Let the audience around the world see our [tiger]!" Pray came to the team members and stretched out his palm.
Then, the other members put their hands together one by one, and everyone made a stack of Arhat movements.
"Come on, ROX!"
...
"Welcome back to the game, the two sides will start the second game." Miller said with a smile.
Wa Wa and Guan Zeyuan sat at attention on the side, and the three of them looked at each other and began to communicate.
"ROX will definitely make adjustments in this round. I wonder if they can come up with a solution to the female gun and ice in a short period of time."
Guan Zeyuan said: "ROX will definitely choose the red side in the second round, and it will definitely not be easy for CP to get this combination."
Miller nodded: "Yes, Pray can steal the ice, and his ice skills are also very good."
Wawa smiled and said: "CP has cracked the ROX female police system in disguise, haha~"
In ROX’s previous games, Policewoman was ROX’s must-grab hero, and was also their AD hero with the highest winning rate.
In the quarter-finals and group stage, some teams even banned the policewoman to restrict praying.
And now, CP can make ROX voluntarily give up the policewoman without even going to BAN!
"Both sides switch sides, CP is on the blue side, and ROX is on the red side."
"CP banned Kennen first. This was a thunderbolt against smeb. In this World Championship, smeb's Kennen played very well." Guan Zeyuan said.
"He has released wonderful ultimate moves many times to help the team win team battles. He is really good at Kennen's team fights."
"ROXban lost Syndra. I guess Lang Ge's Syndra can no longer be seen." Wawa said with a smile.
In fact, Chen Lang's Syndra has played many wonderful operations and famous scenes. Most teams will not release it. Moreover, this hero has strong laning suppression power. Once Chen Lang gets it, he will definitely be able to use his terrifying line.
Upper pressure.
"CP banned Blind Sin and Leopard Girl again, while ROX banned Ryze and Snake Girl."
One side targets the upper field, and the other side targets the middle.
"Want to choose ice?" JackeyLove asked.
ROX has not banned this pairing. If they win the ice first, then they can choose the female gun second hand.
Similarly, if ROX doesn't want to let go of this combination, they can only deal with it by grabbing the female gun.
Unless, they have already thought of a way to deal with this combination.
"No need." Chen Lang shook his head.
He knew that ROX also had this combination in the bottom lane, but he felt that he needed to put some pressure on Xiaotian to complete his transformation in this BO5.
After beating ROX, it will be SKT, which will also be the finals.
Bengi's pattern-controlling jungler is the most restrained to Xiaotian's jungle style.
In the last game, Xiaotian was defeated by Xiaohuahua in terms of rhythm. If Chen Lang hadn't taken Xiaotian with him in several waves, Xiaotian's wild area would have fallen.
Chen Lang needs Xiaotian to feel the pressure to improve in the game.
ROX is the best whetstone.
CP chose the prince and went out to the jungle first.
ROX decisively locked down the female gun and Han Bing.
"???"
"Kakashi, right?"
"Copy and paste?"
"Isn't it? ROX also wants to do this?"
ROX's choice directly stunned netizens watching the game.
The audience below the stage burst into enthusiastic cheers.
They are like a quarrel in the audience, and this kind of troublemaking behavior has always been very popular.
In addition to Chen Lang, JackeyLove and others were also surprised.
"You're not just teasing me, are you?" JackeyLove scratched his head.
"There's something about this..."
Miller was also very surprised: "ROX also knows this combination. Is this the answer to the version?"
Wawa frowned: "This is terrible, I don't know if CP can handle it..."
"Isn't it about LCK group training? Then how do they know CP's routines? Is this the LCK coaching staff?" Guan Zeyuan tried to analyze the reason.
If there is no training match scheduled between the two competition regions, they will invariably choose the same routine.
Well, this means that there is a high probability that this is the version answer, which is the result of research by the coaching staff.
Of course there is another possibility.
That is, after seeing CP's performance in the previous game, ROX specifically chose this combination to play in this game.
But in this case, the risk is very high. Unless ROX is able to use this combination skillfully, it will easily explode.
"Don't worry, we have an advantage." Chen Lang saw JackeyLove and lqs getting nervous and said, "Let's try to see if we can beat this combination."
"Okay..."
CP finally chose Jhin, Braum, Viktor and Jace, and ROX chose Karma, Rambo and Olaf.
The lineups of both sides are finalized:
Blue side CP, top laner Jayce, jungler Prince, mid laner Victor, bottom laner Jhin and Braum.
The red side ROX, the top laner Rambo, the jungler Olaf, the mid laner Karma, the bottom laner Han Bing and the female gunner.
"CP is a typical poke lineup. This lineup has strong fighting ability and can fight in the early, middle and late stages."
Guan Zeyuan looked at CP's lineup analysis: "Bron's words should be to deal with the female gun's ultimate move. The security door can perfectly block the female gun's big move."
"ROX is a bit similar to CP in the previous game, with big moves, and Olaf can ignore control and cut into CP's lineup, while Karma adds mobility to the team to start.
After only 2 and a half minutes of laning, lqs' Braum had already consumed all the supplies.
JackeyLove's Jhin still has some recovery because he has the talent of Bloodthirsty Lord.
However, the current version has hard support, and the opponents are all long-handed poke heroes, so it is difficult to touch the opponent, and the line is at a disadvantage.
The double slowdown of the main ice and the female gun made it difficult for Bron to move forward. Even if he wanted to catch up and hit someone, it would be difficult to do so.
Xiaotian saw that ROX pushed the lane faster in the bottom lane, so he wanted to come down and catch a wave.
Level 3 and Little Peanut met in the river. Olaf's combat effectiveness in the early stage was relatively strong. Xiaotian's prince retreated and his flash was knocked out.
"Forget about the ultimate move, this pair can no longer handle it!"
I originally thought that choosing Braum would help me guard against the female gun's ultimate move, which would make Ice and the female gun less passive after they reach level 6.
But they underestimated the online consumption power of the female gun and Han Bing, which gave JackeyLove and lqs a headache.
Because Chen Lang is Victor, he can only develop a little in the middle. Without upgrading Hex, Victor's efficiency in pushing the lane is limited.
On the contrary, Kuro's Karma-enhanced Q can quickly clear the line of troops, and then roam up and down the lane.
Xiao Tian in the jungle area was also restrained, and Xiao Peanut attacked the jungle area crazily.
However, the prince is more flexible after all, and the second company of EQ can escape through the wall.
However, Peanut and Kuro grabbed the bottom lane together, and JackeyLove and lqs couldn't escape. The two of them sent one or two blood.
When ROX reached level 6 in the bottom lane, the two of them seized the time of lqs' anti-theft door CD and cooperated, directly killing lqs's Braum in seconds.
"The combination of ROX has indeed been practiced, and it is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment attempt." Miller said decisively when he saw this.
This is obvious. The ROX bottom lane duo has a tacit understanding of cooperation, and it is impossible to achieve proficiency just after getting started.
The early rhythm was all controlled by ROX, and CP was at a disadvantage.
"Steady, brothers!" Xiaotian shouted.
At the same time, he ran on the road and cooperated with TheShy to catch smeb's Rambo. This was also Xiaotian's first wave of rhythm.
Subsequently, the duo in the bottom lane took down Xiaolong, and teamed up with Peanut to conduct a wave of tower jumps in the middle lane. Chen Lang was double-teamed by four people and died.
But Chen Lang's counterattack before his death also caused the death of Little Peanut's Olaf, and the two sides exchanged one for the other.
After Chen Lang was resurrected, he rushed to the middle. Xiaotian cooperated with Chen Lang to kill Kuro's Karma.
Although CP has chased a few kills, there is already a gap in the overall economy and level between the two sides.
When the time went to 20 minutes, the head count between the two sides was 8-20. Xiaotian participated in 6 of them, and Chen Lang got two solo kills, one was a counter-kill by a tower jumper, and the other was a line kill.
CP's economy was 4,000 behind, and Xiaolong's opponent got three!
Although Xiaotian is at a disadvantage in the jungle in this game, he has been looking for opportunities to lead the rhythm.
"Big Dragon!" ROX made a crucial decision.
CP went to pick up the team, and Pray's Ice threw E [Eagle Strike in the Sky] in advance to brighten the field of vision, and then he saw the opportunity and released his ultimate move.
Hanbing's magic arrow accurately hit Xiaotian in the wild area, Kuro released Enhanced E, all ROX accelerated and rushed over, GORILLA released her ultimate move, and Xiaotian was instantly killed by everyone.
ROX saw that the jungler was dead and directly opened the baron.
Chen Lang and four others stepped forward to block it, and were eventually beaten 3-for-4 by the opponent. ROX survived two of them and took over the baron.
Later, ROX used the Baron buff to eat away at CP's outer tower, directly bringing the economic gap to 8,000!
TheShy's Jayce led the lane in the bottom lane, and ROX pushed five people.
Smeb's Rambo ultimate move started the team, and the ultimate move with the ice staff deceleration effect made it difficult for CP to move forward.
When TheShy saw the team fight started, he immediately responded with TP.
Xiaotian turned back to start a team fight, and Chen Lang's ultimate move produced tons of output, instantly killing Olaf and Rambo who rushed in front, but he was also replaced.
pray turned around and shot an arrow towards the bottom lane, and he shouted: "Kill!"
After shooting his ultimate move, he directly joined the team battle to output output without looking back, and the arrow passed through the long valley, and finally hit accurately one second before TheShy returned to the city!
"Cum!"
“Qianli’s prediction ultimate move before and pray’s ultimate move are so awesome!”
"TheShy can't come back. CP is missing one person in the frontal team fight. They are no longer a match for ROX!"
Miller yelled at the top of his lungs, but his voice gradually became quieter as CP personnel died one after another.
Until TheShy was stunned by an arrow of ice, his voice was full of despair.
This means that the CP team battle will fail.
Even if TheShy comes back, when all his teammates are dead, he and Jace can't change anything.
In the end, CP lost the game and ROX tied the score at 1:1.
...
"Our problem is that the bottom lane is broken." JackeyLove and lqs began to take the blame.
"Do I have the rhythm in the early stage..." Xiaotian sighed.
Chen Lang played very well in this round, and was the only one in the team with a positive record. He did 3W damage, but still lost the game.
"It's okay." Chen Lang patted Xiaotian on the shoulder: "You've done a good job."
"In this game, I was at a disadvantage online. I couldn't move in the middle. I relied on you alone to set the pace. When the jungle was compressed, you were able to set up a few waves of pace. It's really good."
Hongmi also looked at Xiaotian and said, "You don't have a big problem in this game. You even performed better than before."
Adversity can temper people, and Hongmi also saw Xiaotian's growth in this game.
The advantage is that it is easy to win in any game, so it will not greatly improve the players.
But in a headwind game, players must find opportunities to seize the comeback point, which is a great test of the players' abilities.
Xiaotian's performance in the last game was very good. In Hongmi's eyes, he had done everything he could do in that situation.
"Back to the same starting line again, come on!" Chen Lang encouraged his teammates.
"Little Peanut is our former teammate after all. 3-0 is not good, let's go 3-1."
"Pfft~" JackeyLove was immediately amused by Chen Lang's words.
"That's indeed a bit outrageous." lqs nodded coolly.
"It's not like we gained nothing. At least it proves that the current version of soft support is indeed better than hard support. In the next game, our red side, ROX will definitely take action." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"Even without this combination, we can still defeat each other. In the next game, I will try to roam as much as possible and not choose heroes that need development."
