The S6 finals will be held at the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles.
There are huge crowds of people here, and there are no empty seats.
Even though the European and American teams were eliminated early, it was still difficult to stop the enthusiastic emotions of the audience.
The two teams CP and SKT met again in the finals.
They are like the gears of fate, forever stuck together.
The two sides are always in different halves, and then each defeats its rival, and finally meets in the final.
SKT defeated an LPL team and an LCK team, sweeping all the way.
CP defeated the second-ranked team in the world, and the semi-final match against ROX was very exciting.
The two teams with the strongest offense meet, and the head-to-head match against Maimang is the most exciting.
Since the emergence of CP, these two teams have basically played in the finals of the competitions in the past two years.
CP always wins one side, and with SKT having fakr on the team, many people still hope to see faker return with revenge.
Today is Faker’s chance to take revenge again!
Before the game, the promotional video recorded by Riot Games had already been played.
The trash talk between the two teams before the game made people laugh and feel the chill at the same time.
Peak showdown!
Before, no one thought SKT could reach the finals.
Mainly because ROX is too strong this season.
SKT's state has indeed declined in the summer split, and ROX is at its peak.
As a result, SKT got better and better as they played in the World Championship.
Even though many players had said before that they had a high winning rate against SKT in training matches, they still lost to SKT in the game.
A typical slow-burning team, as the schedule progresses, the condition of all SKT members is getting better and better.
Until they defeated SSG in the semifinals, people saw another side of their strength.
Everyone in the world thinks that SKT's management is great and they are the strongest shield.
However, when the fangs were revealed and SKT's offensive was equally sharp, everyone suddenly realized that SKT's offense should not be underestimated either.
It's just that their superb operation and defense masked their sharp attack.
SKT is getting better and better after the World Championship, which makes the audience very excited.
This means that the game will become more and more exciting.
We don’t like to watch one-sided games, we only like to watch games where we meet our opponents.
On the live stage, the opening ceremony of the finals is being held.
The stage lights are gorgeous and fireworks are everywhere.
The game hasn't even started yet, but the atmosphere in the field has already been aroused.
Before the players took the stage, a promotional video recorded by both sides before the game was played on the big screen.
The background was in an amusement park in Los Angeles, and then the S championship trophy appeared in the camera.
The sun shines and the trophy shines.
The shining light is as bright as a diamond, which is also the glory pursued by many players!
"After coming to the global finals, I haven't lost yet..."
All CP members appeared in the camera. They were walking slowly on the beach, and Chen Lang's voice sounded.
Then, all SKT members showed up.
However, the background in which they appeared was night.
The night is endless and dotted with stars.
There are thousands of lights not far away, and the trophy is still attractive under the soft light.
"We were not favored all the way..."
faker said this with a serious expression. This is also the situation that SKT has faced along the way.
"Isn't surprise also a kind of fun for the audience?"
The implication is that no one expected them to win the game, but they won every game.
And this time, it will be no exception.
"We will win the game when we get to the finals, and this time it will be no exception."
A Shiba Inu smile appeared on the corner of JackeyLove's mouth.
Xiaotian said: "It seems that I have become the only unstable point in the team. My teammates are all champions."
"Now, I also have the opportunity to become the champion, and I will definitely make myself the key to the team's victory!"
Finally, Chen Lang made the finishing touches again.
"I have told you a long time ago, tell ROX not to leave in a hurry, let them wait for you to go back together, it will be cheaper if you buy a group ticket~"
As soon as Chen Lang said these words, the whole audience burst into laughter.
I have to say that saying this in a serious situation actually has a comedic effect.
At this time, the live broadcast rooms of major domestic competition platforms are full of enthusiasm.
The barrage is like locusts passing through the border. No one can be seen without restrictions.
The live broadcast room is very laggy and always needs to be refreshed. The platform can only divert a few channels to keep the live broadcast room from being crowded and crashing.
The time in the United States is different from that in China.
But because CP was there, many people watched the game despite the time difference.
The reason is that I hope to see LPL win the S championship as soon as possible!
"It makes me laugh so hard, Brother Lang is still so funny!"
"Langbao is so cute, I really want to take him home~"
"This year, SKT is not as good as last year as a whole, but it is still very strong, especially the bang, which is stronger than last year. SKT is the designated team!"
"SKT should not be able to accept the third defeat. They will definitely play very fiercely today. I hope CP can stabilize!"
"Congratulations to SKT for winning second place!!!"
...
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller."
"I am a doll."
"I'm Changmao."
The commentators for today's final are Wawa, Miller and Changmao.
"SKT and CP are also old rivals."
The three of them were laughing and chatting in the commentary box, while the players were debugging the equipment and waiting for the game to start.
"SKT has been very strong in the past two years. Every time I thought they were not good, they were able to reach the finals. They are a team that cannot be underestimated!" Changmao said.
Wawa nodded: "Yes, SKT is an opponent that cannot be underestimated."
"However, CP still has a psychological advantage against SKT. After all, they have won two BO5s and won two championships in their hands~"
Miller said with a smile: "So we have to be more careful about them. SKT must have done a deep study of CP. They have lost to the same team twice, so they will know CP very well."
"The game begins!"
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, BP started.
"SKT is on the red side, CP is on the blue side."
"CP took the lead in banning Han Bing, and then banned Leopard Girl!"
Wawawa didn't understand this BP, and he said doubtfully: "Leopard Girl, don't rush to ban, this should be a hero that the red side will ban!"
CP has priority on the blue side. In the current version, the red side BP suffers more because there are more heroes who must be banned.
Leopard Girl is the kind of hero who must be banned.
"It's understandable to ban Han Bing. After all, Bang is in excellent condition, and Han Bing is more useful than Jhin. He has better team-fighting and late-game abilities than Jhin. His E skill can also explore the position of the jungler in the early stage, and his anti-gank ability is excellent."
SKT's focus this year is on the bottom lane.
In the S6 World Championship, bang became the best AD player.
The average opponent economy per game is 2065, the average damage is 725, and 22.8% of the economy can produce 30.7% of the damage!
The damage conversion rate is 167%... Among these key data for measuring ADC, bang ranks among the best.
It can be said that the outstanding records of ROX and CP did not allow JackeyLove and Pray to beat Bang in terms of statistics.
Bang is the most stable part of SKT this year. It can play tool man AD, wolf and jungler. It will not kill you if you develop alone in the bottom lane, and you can still stand up and take over the game in the later stage.
If the four-guaranteed-one tactic is used, Lucian performed to the fullest in the quarter-finals of the bang, without a single mistake in the whole process, and his output was full!
Because of Bang's outstanding performance, he is known as an output machine!
Calmly output like a robot, without any flaws!
SKT was able to reach the finals, and Bang's role was indispensable.
He is SKT's late-stage guarantee. As long as you give him resources and give him time to develop, he will be able to reward the team.
For bang, this is nothing.
But if you want to ban the red leopard girl, you must ban her, which really confused her.
Banning a hero for the opponent means one less person is allowed to be banned.
"I don't know, but look at SKT's draft..."
My understanding of the commentary game is limited, so I naturally don’t know what Redmi is thinking.
"SKT directly banned Snake and Ryze."
Changmao smiled and said: "This is a female gun system that is afraid of CP~"
Although Hanbing has been banned, JackeyLove's Verus is not bad at playing, and can also cooperate with the female gun to make big moves.
CP banned Snake again, and SKT banned Syndra.
"Are you sure you want to take the mid laner?" Hongmi asked Chen Lang again.
Chen Lang nodded: "Take the Dragon King."
Dragon King is a hero that Faker has never played in this world championship. This is the result obtained by the Redmi coaching team after studying the SKT game today.
Dragon King is a hero with strong line clearing ability in the early stage, high roaming efficiency, and sufficient output in the later stage.
SKT has never chosen, so there is only one possibility, faker can't play Dragon King!
For this data, they even went through the game records of Faker’s Korean server and North American server accounts.
Confirmed again and again that he does not play Dragon King, so he has this BP design.
"I understand!"
Miller understood CP's BP after seeing CP choose the Dragon King in seconds.
"The first sister in the version is Syndra. She has very high laning strength, her ability to push the laning is not bad, and her explosive power is high enough."
"CP banned Leopard Girl because they wanted to grab Syndra. If SKT neither bans Leopard Girl nor Syndra, then CP will be in a dilemma."
"Should I choose Syndra or Leopard Girl? So banning Leopard Girl is the best choice. At the same time, let SKT ban Syndra and they will grab the Dragon King."
"Moreover, the main heroes banned by both sides are all mid-lane heroes. Snake, Ryze and Victor are all mages in the current version, and their laning abilities in team battles are not weak."
"If Brother Lang takes the Dragon King, Faker will be much less selective in the middle."
Changmao nodded and said: "With the Ice Girl, although you can roam around, the output will be much different. Once you get to the later stage, the output difference between the Ice Girl and the Dragon King will be too big."
Chen Lang didn't ask for the counter position because there was no particularly good choice in the middle.
SKT chose Jhin and Zyra.
"SKT grabs the duo first to ensure the bottom lane matchup!"
Wawa folded his arms and thought hard: "I think CP can take Karma, and it won't suffer against Zyra in the lane."
"For AD, you can use EZ or Policewoman."
Miller nodded: "This is indeed the best bottom lane choice."
The policewoman is the late stage guarantee, and Kalma guarantees the lane.
In fact, although Zyra was very powerful, Jhin and Zyra could not take advantage of the combination of Karma and the policewoman.
"How do you say that?" Xiaotian looked at his teammates with a smile.
Chen Lang smiled and said, "Let's choose. We'll talk about it after we win the first one!"
"Aren't you going to hide it?" JackeyLove asked.
"What are you hiding?" Chen Lang said, "Isn't it enough if you win? If you win first, the pressure on your bottom lane and lane will be much less."
"That's right."
"Then take it?" Xiaotian said.
"Take it."
CP locks Lucian and Nami.
"???"
"What's going on!"
Doll and Miller were shocked.
"Why did you take Lucian Hao Nami?"
"Can I still fight in the bottom lane?"
Lucian's Q skill range and attack range have been reduced, and the bottom lane is shorter than the average AD player.
The hard-assisted version is a little better, at least you can fight if you have the assistance to control it.
But this version of Lucian with soft assist consumption is very difficult to play.
Because it is difficult to output.
It's not easy to go up and output, and the lane is always consumed...
"Ultimate move? That's the only way to explain it."
"Nami is okay, at least she can control Jhin well, but Lucian is a little bit of a headache with this one~"
After netizens saw the selection, the barrages started flying.
"Don't you treat SKT as a human being?"
"Can Lucian, a short-handed man, still be in the AD position?"
"I'm very surprised, why do you think Lucian must be AD? Can't he be top laner?"
"The angle is strange, but it's not impossible. Jayce is still outside. Lucian's move made it impossible for SKT to take Jayce~"
"To be fair, I think everyone should trust Hongmi's BP. His BP rarely suffers~"
"I believe it is the [package] prepared by CP for SKT. ROX understands this feeling~"
After taking both CP, SKT also fell into anxiety.
"Is Lucian the bottom lane?"
"It feels like the possibility of going on the road is not small." Duke and Bang thought.
Wolf said: "No matter how they distribute it, we can have an advantage in the bottom lane anyway."
Lucian goes to the top lane, and CP can't choose many ADs. Wolf is confident that it can suppress JackeyLove and lqs.
"That's right." Faker nodded and said, "Then let's take the midfielder position and give the Duke counter position."
kkoma said: "Olav in the jungle."
As a non-displacement hero, Dragon King is relatively easy to die once Olaf gets close to him.
Especially after level 6, Olaf's ultimate move ignores control, which is also a better choice.
SKT's starting jungler is blank, and Olaf is his most selected jungle hero in this world championship.
"Xianghe, what mid laner do you want to play?" kkoma asked.
Faker looked at the hero interface and said, "Let me add a late-stage mage. Our lineup has limited output in the late-stage."
"Wind it up."
CP chose Jayce and Lee Sin in their last two games, while SKT chose Poppy.
"Lucian is really on his way out!"
"CP Lucian has limited SKT's desire to pick Jayce, but the bottom lane will suffer a lot."
"Duke's Poppy was forced to pick, and top laner TheShy should take advantage."
Regarding TheShy's strength, both Miller and Wawa have confidence.
Playing 0-3 was the same as playing 3-0, which was indeed a bit fierce.
The lineups of both sides are finalized:
Blue side CP, top laner Jayce, jungler blind monk, mid laner Dragon King, bottom lane Lucian + Nami.
The red side SKT, top laner Poppy, jungler Olaf, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Jhin + Zyra.
Just after entering the game, both parties bought equipment and rushed to the bottom river.
"Is this a first-level group fight?" Miller exclaimed in shock.
"They all want to fight." Wawa smiled and said, "Maybe everyone feels that they are in control, so they want to take a look."
Chen Lang said: "Be careful, if you are controlled by the opponent, you will be defeated in seconds."
Whether it's Zyra's E or Poppy hitting the wall, once they are accused, someone will definitely die.
In fact, CP's lineup is a bit difficult to resist SKT's attack.
The advantage of their lineup is their high output. Once they gain an advantage, they can end the teamfight like a torrent.
SKT had the same idea as CP, and faker directed his teammates: "Get into the grass in the river to have a view, don't be ambushed."
"We can hit people as long as they are stunned, and they have no countermeasures."
The only counter control is Nami's Water Prison.
The premise is that Nami has to learn Q at level one. If she learns to increase blood, she will have no control.
Wolf and Bang were walking together. He looked into the grass and did not see CP.
"Go around."
When faker saw this, he pinned the dragon pit, and he was going to go to the edge to block his vision and go around to the CP jungle area.
"Both sides are circling behind, they are about to meet!"
At the blue square triangle grass, someone from both sides entered the grass, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
Then, a fight broke out between the two sides!
Wolf's E [Tangled Root] was thrown towards the ground, and the vines quickly rushed forward to Xiaotian's feet and tied him up.
Bang learned W [Deadly Brilliance] in seconds. He followed behind and hit the A level for a while, and then immediately used the W skill to continue to control Xiaotian.
faker learned the Q skill from Clockwork and threw it out to deal a wave of damage. Duke learned the E skill and knocked Xiaotian into the wall!
When lqs saw the opponent focusing on Xiaotian, he threw Q [Prison of Blue Waves] with his backhand to control Olaf and Poppy.
Then hang the weakness on Bang's Jhin.
The W skill learned by Chen Lang controlled the astral body to deal damage. JackeyLove's Lucian was happy, and his Q [Penetrating Holy Light] passed through the two of them and dealt damage.
Xiaotian died soon, and his head was taken by faker Ping A.
Blank's Xiaohei tried to escape by running at a fast speed, but was hit to death by JackeyLove.
Duke flashed and escaped down the dragon pit. TheShy chased and killed Duke, but he was also hit to death by the bang.
"Wow, this is such a bloody start!"
Two people on both sides have been killed, but neither wants to retreat and is still dealing damage.
faker's condition is maintained very well, Chen Lang's mana is running low, and both wolf and lqs are at half health.
Chen Lang said loudly: "lqs, how many seconds do you have left for Q?"
"5 seconds!" lqs replied loudly.
"Okay, don't let them go. I'll hold them back for a while. Ah Shui, you can keep up with the output. This game's bottom lane will give you a big advantage!"
JackeyLove's voice was loud: "No problem, I will win this round!"
Chen Lang was sprinting behind the three SKT players. Then, with his remaining health, he saw Bang about to fire the fourth bullet, so he ducked out of the attack distance.
Bang didn't think too much, flashed in pursuit, and killed Chen Lang with a critical hit.
"Bang chased Brother Lang to death!"
"lqs and JackeyLove are still doing damage. Bang flashed and was hit by lqs' water prison. He couldn't escape death!"
lqs followed behind, JackeyLove moved forward and fired at bang, and bang was also hit to death.
Wolf's Zyra once again controlled the E skill. lqs blocked the front and was taken away by faker. JackeyLove took the opportunity to flash and take away wolf.
So far, 8 people from both first-level groups have died!
"The soldiers haven't come online yet, but a battle involving 8 heads has already broken out between the two sides!"
Miller's voice was hoarse: "I never thought the first game of the finals would be so intense!"
"JackeyLove and Faker survived until the end, both parties can accept it."
Wawa said: "Clockwork got one head, Jhin got three heads, SKT's double C is very comfortable~"
"On the CP side, three heads were on JackeyLove, TheShy got one head, and Brother Lang felt uncomfortable in the lane."
Clockwork has a human head in hand, and one more flash.
Chen Lang has no two moves, so it's naturally difficult to fight in the lane.
On the one hand, his equipment is lagging behind. Without dual moves, he can easily win the favor of Olaf.
