Chapter 532 The final battle, the front of the two armies
During this time, the alliance released a new hero, Silas, whose ultimate move can steal other people's skills, nicknamed "Stealing Man".
And because the chain in his hand looks like garlic, some people call him "Garlic Man".
The current hero position is midfielder.
After playing with it for a while, I felt that this hero was quite strong, so I recommended it to Xiaoyao.
Not to mention, this hero is really good as a jungler. Xiaoyao has been crazy about using Sylas in the rankings recently to gain points.
Not only did Sylas perform well in ranked games, but in recent games in the LCK next door, many teams’ mid laners also played with new heroes.
Unlike Neeko, who had a low winning rate not long ago, Silas is currently performing very well in the middle and jungle positions on the field.
It is worth mentioning that the LCK summer season is a little faster than the LPL. It is now about to end the group stage and enter the playoffs.
In the summer split, the two major galaxy battleships of the LCK, SKT and KT, were reorganized last season. In the last spring split, KT was better.
The KT team had a BO5 draw with SKT in the finals, and won 3-2 in the end, winning the MSI ticket.
Originally, everyone thought that KT, a galactic battleship reorganized by the former "Ten Sons of Samsung", would step on SKT's shoulders and start a new era from MSI.
But what I didn't expect was that as soon as KT, the galactic battleship, entered the sea of stars from MSI, it was kicked back by a dark horse teammate from LPL. Korean netizens who had high hopes for this were very angry!
There are many talkative kings and keyboard warriors in Korea. Just after the MSI game ended, many people said on the Internet that it would be great if SKT went to MSI.
Of course this is an afterthought.
But in the current summer split, SKT's Galaxy Battleship has reorganized again and bought Khan and MSI champion jungler Clid. This season's state has become vigorous again.
SKT currently beats KT and has become the first place in the group stage of the LCK Summer Split.
If there are no surprises in the playoffs, they may become the top seed team in this S competition.
Ranked below SKT are KT, SSG, LZ and AFS.
These are all teams currently in the top half of the LCK rankings. There is a clear divide between the team strength and the teams in the bottom half.
Therefore, these teams have also become the subjects of Han Yunlong's daily research. After all, after the Summer Split, there will be the S Series World Championship, the top event that global league players are looking forward to.
Although Han Yunlong is usually strict, he is similar to the man from Guodian Sentai Team EDE. He likes to study his opponents in S games to boost his confidence.
This is equivalent to announcing to everyone at KG that I, the coach, have studied the opponents in the S game. You can't even get one of the three places in the S game, right?
...
It’s a hot summer day, and July is on fire.
In the blink of an eye, KG won the last game of the regular group stage against JD, the e-commerce team currently ranked fifth.
JD is one of the two major e-commerce giants in China, an LPL team joined by Jindong Investment.
As soon as he entered the LPL, he entered the ranks of a wealthy club, and his every move was full of the aristocratic atmosphere.
I heard that every time their team had a dinner after winning a game, they always went to a Western restaurant on the edge of Jiangwai Beach, holding goblets and saying to each other: Cut it to death~
It was also reported that even during breakfast in the morning, JD’s cooking aunt would carefully fry a medium-rare leek box for each contestant.
In addition, the JD team's player uniforms are even more unique, with a streamlined design that looks a bit like a tuxedo.
The designer may have wanted to make the players look slender and tall, but unfortunately, JD's players this time were a little stretched out.
From top laner to support each person weighs about 200 pounds each, and is affectionately called the "Thousand-pound Team" by fans.
The JD team was ranked eighth two weeks ago and has just entered the playoffs.
But in the past two weeks, they have suddenly exploded, defeating EW, ONG and EDE one after another, and are currently ranked fifth.
In the last game of the last week of the regular group stage, they encountered a huge challenge from a counterattack.
That is to face the KG team that currently ranks first in the group stage and has never lost a single game.
Speaking of which, the JD team and KG have some connections. In the middle of the summer split, the JD team's ADC was on sick leave and the transfer period had passed.
It just so happened that JD's manager had some friendship with Link, and he learned that Ah Shui's performance had been getting better and better since joining the team, and the original Loke had been on the bench.
He thought of renting it.
This is completely in line with the procedures in the league. At that time, ONG's mid laner Xiyang was loaned out to other teams for emergency response after sitting on the bench for a period of time.
KG's manager Link learned of the other party's intentions and went to Loke to discuss it. Loke obviously also noticed that the new AD in the team, Ah Shui, was in good condition.
As the saying goes, a tree moves a dead person, and a person moves alive.
Within two days, Loke agreed to the proposal and signed a loan agreement with the JD team two weeks ago.
Speaking of which, the JD team's explosion as they approach the playoffs may have something to do with the addition of a new AD.
After entering the last competition week, three days flew by and the weekend of this competition week soon came.
In the afternoon, the match between ONG and EW ended at 2:1, and then it was the turn of the KG and JD teams.
It has to be said that today's final group match finale has different meanings for the currently ranked No. 1 KG and the No. 5 JD teams.
For KG, although they have secured the top spot in the group stage, if they lose the game today, their unbeaten streak that has been maintained for a summer will be broken.
For the JD team, today's game or challenge has a more realistic meaning.
If they win, they will advance to fourth place in the group stage. What is the difference between fourth and fifth?
If ranked fourth, it means that JD can play one less bubble game, and has 10% more hope of winning the summer championship and entering the S series.
For LPL viewers, the last group match of the summer split obviously has a different meaning.
Even before the game started, the popularity of the live broadcast rooms on all major platforms was rising like crazy, and soon exceeded 20 million. This was considered a warm-up for the playoffs.
...
Backstage, in the JD team's lounge.
Boom in the top lane, Kavi in the jungle, Toothbrush in the mid lane, Loke and Huang Mao in the bottom lane, the five young and strong players are all gearing up and their morale is high.
Coach Home noticed the players' condition and nodded with satisfaction.
In e-sports, strength and state are indispensable. After all, there has never been a 10-10 game in this world.
Otherwise, the two teams would not have to play a game. The coaches of both sides would sit down and lay out their lineups, and then compare the players' strengths to determine the outcome.
This is not the case.
Even if he is willing to be killed, he can bring down the emperor.
"Actually, the KG team is not as difficult to beat as we thought."
Suddenly, in the corner of the lounge, Loke, who had just been loaned to JD from KG not long ago, spoke.
Upon hearing this, several people in the team paid attention.
Countless battles in history have proven that the best way to defeat an enemy is to disintegrate it from within.
And Loke has been in KG for so long. At this time, the two armies are in front of the formation, and he must have some opinions!
