On April 12, the winner’s group final between V5 and Taobo started on time.
This game will directly determine a place in the finals.
If you win, it will be easy. You can go directly to the finals to wait for your opponent. At the same time, you are guaranteed to have a runner-up result this season.
Ranking is very important. Different rankings have different points.
The guaranteed runner-up in the Spring Split. If I get another runner-up in the Summer Split, basically the points added together can guarantee a spot in the World Championship.
Of course, as long as a team can reach the finals, no one will think about finishing second.
So this game is very crucial for the two teams.
After losing, you have to play another BO5 with RNG to compete for a spot in the finals.
No one would want to play more games if they could.
There’s nothing to say about the popularity of this game.
V5 plays Taobo, which is now the Spring Festival Gala of LPL.
We can meet again in the playoffs. This is the wish of countless people, including Tengjing.
If this was the final, the effect would be even better.
In terms of pre-match predictions, most people are optimistic about V5, about 90% of them.
Although both teams have reached this stage, it can be seen that V5 is more dominant in the game.
There is another reason, which is indeed what Chen Ke said.
His winning rate in Taobo games is so high, he has never lost a single match, and he gets very excited when he plays Taobo games.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for more people to be optimistic about V5.
Those who are optimistic about Taobo may not necessarily be optimistic about them. They are just unhappy with Chen Ke.
You've all been fooled by Chen Ke's fans. Why should I be optimistic about you when the relationship between us can't be eased?
Stop pretending, I just want to see you die.
Many Taobo fans are holding their breath today.
What Chen Ke said on the live broadcast last night was indeed a bit irritating.
Fans today are thinking very simply. They don’t even think about winning against the opponent in a BO5.
As long as I win a small game, we can charge.
Today’s commentators are Wang Duoduo, Leg Brother and Tong Xi.
These three commentators are slightly better. Only one leg brother is a member of the small group, and the remaining two are not criticized by Chen Ke fans.
"Welcome everyone to watch this focus game. Regarding this game, many people have analyzed it before the game."
Wang Duoduo is the one who controls the field. As soon as the camera reaches the commentary box, he starts.
Wang Duoduo asked: "Then I would like to hear what the two commentators think of this game."
Brother Leg and Tong Xi were also more direct, both saying they were more optimistic that V5 would win.
They still believe more in hard power.
When Wang Duoduo heard what his two partners said, he immediately said: "Since both of us are optimistic about V5, then I will be optimistic about Yishou Taobo."
He is not a fan of TuoBo, and has no feelings for the TuoBo team. The only home teams are WE and RNG.
Choosing to be optimistic about Taobo is simply to carry water.
There is also data analysis and the like later, which is enough for three commentators to talk about for a long time.
In the first game, Taobo has the priority to choose sides.
After entering the upper bracket finals, we no longer look at the regular season rankings.
Although V5 is the one with a higher ranking in the regular season, at this stage everyone is the same and decides who has the right to choose sides by tossing a coin.
Taobo has better luck and won the coin guessing session yesterday.
In this version now, the blue side has a higher winning rate and BP is easier to do, so the blue side is basically the first choice.
"Okay, let's not talk much now, the game officially begins!"
After entering the BP session, everyone cheered up.
In ordinary games, everyone is too lazy to watch the BP, so they specially click in late at night, just in time to see both sides enter the game.
Even more extreme, if you don’t watch the first ten minutes of the game, the impact will not be that big.
But in a game like the semi-final winner's bracket, you still need to be more focused.
Starting from BP, the battle between the two sides has already started.
As the game develops, BP becomes more and more important.
Sometimes you pick a BP that is so incredible that no matter how much you give the players a chance to play, it will be useless.
It can be seen from the beginning of BP that the little routine played against EDG in the last game still worked.
Anyway, Taobo got rid of the hero Varus as soon as possible.
No matter whether Varus is going to assist or directly AD, Taobo doesn't want to see it.
My brother faced off against Chen Ke’s Verus, and the feeling was really disgusting.
If banning a hero can solve a lot of troubles, it proves that this ban position is very cost-effective.
Chen Ke was not in a hurry and still went to choose heroes for the upper, middle and jungle.
It’s just that after the second round, Chen Ke really didn’t have any good heroes.
This version of the bottom lane ecology can be said to be very boring.
The three heroes that appeared the most in the game were none other than Kai'Sa, Xayah, and Xiao Pao.
Taobao chose Xia in the bottom lane, and the next two ADs were all dealt with.
At the same time, Taobo also targeted Draven.
Every time he plays Taobao, Chen Ke likes to take out Draven.
Obviously Taobo also discovered this, and his defense against Chen Ke was very good.
V5 really didn’t rush to choose AD, but left the suspense to the last move.
"Looking at it this way, there seems to be no good AD options in V5."
"Taobo is very targeted here and directly banned four ADs."
Wang Duoduo took the initiative and said: "But the hero pool of Real players never makes people worry. Aphelios can be played."
"Actually, it's not that there are no heroes in the bottom lane of V5 now. He also uses heroes like Lucian and EZ very well."
Tong Xi took the message and commented: "The V5 lineup has some problems now, it lacks AP output."
"If they play an AD hero in the bottom lane, then they will be a bit like a chopper team with this one."
Many people also discovered this problem when selecting lineups.
V5 chose Gnar in the top lane and Galio in the middle.
It's true that Galio is an AP hero, but the output he can produce is very limited.
It's okay if it's a single-point burst against one person. When playing in a group, this thing is mainly for protection and control, so how can it cause so much damage?
In terms of jungle, V5 chose a nightmare to rush into the battle, which happened to be able to bring Galio into the field.
I have practiced this many times in training matches.
Seeing that the opponent dared to choose Jayce on the top lane, he immediately locked the Nightmare.
Brother Leg is a relatively professional commentator. Although they are both professional players, you can clearly feel that their understanding of the game is better than that of Lolita and Umbrella.
Just listen to the suggestion from the leg brother: "Actually, at this time in the bottom lane, it is best to add a bomber."
"Not to mention that it can supplement AP output, when Nightmare comes into the field with Galio, it is actually very effective to use a big move to combine with it."
"With the temperament of a Real player, he shouldn't be able to play this kind of hero."
When Brother Leg finished speaking, both partners laughed.
Because they know this is the truth. Chen Ke is the big C in the team, not to mention that the opponent in this game is Ah Shui.
It is simply impossible to choose a hero like Bomberman.
That’s not to say that Bomberman isn’t great, there aren’t many operations for this kind of hero.
Giving Bomberman to such a top-level AD, even if he plays the hero very smoothly, fans will find it difficult to accept.
Isn’t this a complete blasphemy against AD?
At this time, the V5 team is indeed discussing which hero to play.
Mai Zijian asked again: "Are you sure you want to choose this?"
"Okay, take your pick. Haven't you played this before in training matches?"
Chen Ke looked at the hero Zerath and his tone was very sure.
In V5 training matches, I often like to do some naughty things.
Choose Xerath to go down the road. I have tried it occasionally before, and the effect is really good.
If you use this kind of hero to go down the lane, you still can't compare with Bomberman.
Bomberman is more resilient, and his ability to push down towers is unmatched by Xerath.
But Chen Ke’s skills can’t be beaten accurately. When a hero like Xerath is in Chen Ke’s hands, his combat effectiveness is different.
It's just the first game, so I can try it out.
It’s time to give your brother a chance.
During the last interview, Chen Ke publicly praised Mai Zijian, so he doesn't have much nonsense now.
Chen Ke nodded, so just choose.
The moment Xerath was revealed on the fifth floor, fans had a bad feeling.
Whenever something weird like this appears in V5, there is a high probability that it will be chosen.
Sure enough, Wink was locked directly in the next second.
"???"
"What the hell, what is this?"
"No, what's the point of playing Xerath? I expect you to kill the opponent."
"Isn't the coach stupid? Why don't you choose Draven and just attack?"
"If your eyes are no longer needed, donate them to those in need. Draven has been banned from seeing?"
"It's a waste of money to choose Xerath for a player like Chen Ke."
