Half an hour later, the opening ceremony of the finals officially began.

After a passionate singing and dancing performance, it was the turn of the contestants to enter the session.

Compared with the previous online competition, the finals had a large number of spectators, so the tension of the players also increased a lot, and even the SKT dream lineup, which is known for seeing strong winds and waves, is rarely a little uneasy at this time.

Then, after walking into the computer room and taking a seat, seeing that Faker was in a daze, Bengi patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

He has seen the pressure Lee Sang-hyuk has endured over the years, so he knows very well how much this finals means to him, and if even the seasoned faker is nervous at this moment, then as the only two other triple crown winners in the world, it is necessary for him to give him some mental encouragement.

"I'm thinking about what kind of hero Xiao Dongjube will take for a while." Faker said.

"Didn't Coach Kim say that this matter was left to him to worry about his brains? There's no need to think about it anymore, is it? Bengi said.

"Winter Jujube is the strongest opponent I've ever faced over the years, and I haven't beaten him in every duel." Faker said calmly, "Now that I'm finally back to the best form I can remember, I hope to beat her once and become the strongest mid-laner in the world again." ”

"But you're a triple crown midlaner, and she hasn't won the S championship yet......"

"People can't always live in the past."

"Okay." Bengi looked at the enthusiastic audience outside the transparent computer room and didn't say anything more.

This is faker's insistence, and it is also the reason why he must win, if he fails to win Xiaodong Jujube, even if he wins the championship and achieves the quadruple crown, I am afraid he will not be able to give him any spiritual comfort.

Maybe it's because of this character that he can become a faker.

……

Without wasting much time waiting for the audience, after a few moments, both sides quickly entered the BP of Round 1.

After exchanging glances with each other, SKT came up and gave the first three bans - Fire Girl, Time, and Akali.

These three heroes are not difficult to understand, the first two are the core of DME's important routine system, and in the absence of a clear confrontation strategy, banning is the best restraint.

The third-hand Akali is the same as Taobo ban Akali for the same reason, out of respect for Xiao Dongjujube - in the current version, Akali is already a T2 or even T1 hero who can play.

Even if Xiaodong jujube has not been selected once before, it does not prevent SKT from choosing to ban it just in case.

Thereupon......

With all the killer features held down, DME had no way to make a move, so he selected Crocodile, Ember, and Zoe in the first round of BP to ensure that the three ways were strong, and at the same time, he also expressed his willingness to fight hard with SKT.

SKT is not in a hurry about this, there is no need to use the killer weapon when it comes up, and it doesn't hurt to see the move, so the backhand also locked the T1 top laner tree that has performed well in the current 10.19 version but has been ignored, and then won the leopard girl and EZ respectively.

In the end, the two rounds of BP ended, and the lineups of both sides were determined.

The blue side DME is the top laner crocodile, the jungler spider, the mid laner Zoe, and the bottom laner Ember + Panson.

The red side SKT is the top single big tree, the jungle leopard girl, the middle single clockwork, and the lower road mouse + fan mother.

It's really a lineup that doesn't have any routines and is very solid with each other.

Then, after entering the game, Dolan went out, and after waiting for the line to go online, Faker began to line up with Zoe in the middle lane.

This mid-lane duel between him and Xiaodong Zao is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of the finals.

After all, because of the decline in his form, he had never defeated Winter Jujube in the head-to-head 1v1, and even in the semi-finals of last year's MSI, which played the best, his performance was at most the same as that of Winter Jujube.

Now that he has retriggered his bond with Bengi, he has been at the top of his game in this World Championship, and he has fully reached the peak of his fans' minds.

Who is the real world No. 1 midlaner can only be revealed after the end of this finals.

Soon, without the explosion of human heads, the middle lanes on both sides came to level six.

After several waves of blood exchanges, Faker and Zoe won and lost each other, and no one took advantage.

And during this period, the two junglers also did things separately.

The spider was murderous to Marin on the road, but Bengi's anti-squat was very good, and in the end he successfully saved Marin's tower and made up for it, so that he would not be crossed by the third level.

At level 4, the spider launched a wave of gank on the lower lane, and both sides of the middle lane went down to support, and finally evolved into a 4v4, but because of the stronger ability to seize opportunities on the opposite side in the early stage, it was Wolf and Bang who fell first.

If it weren't for the rout, faker twisted the spider's cocoon and Zoe's flying star with a subtle move, helped Bengi kill Pan Sen with residual blood under the tower, and also fought with the spider in a wave of one-for-one double kills, this wave of SKT is definitely a big loss.

Now, it's just a small loss of 3 for 2, which is barely acceptable.

"Faker is playing too well, this wave! I think he's going to die! ”

"This move is really amazing, just drill through a bunch of skill cracks, otherwise this wave of towers, PPGod and red leaves will not die!"

"faker's wave of double kills is really Tianxiu, it can be regarded as forcibly calling SKT back, and sure enough, Brother Li is still Brother Li!"

"It's a pity, DME is a bit impulsive this wave of towers."

After the next wave, the audience was amazed.

Because the lineup itself focuses on the relationship between the early and middle stages, this wave of 4v4 wins in the early stage is what DME should be, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.

Then, just when the audience thought that they had double-killed wolf and bang, this wave could win a big victory, but there was a big problem with a wave of crossing the tower against faker and bengi - DME didn't succeed in trying to kill faker, and the skill was a little empty, and it was shown off by faker with a move.

In the end, it took two heads to kill a faker and let Bengi run away, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Of course, this does not prevent DME from relying on its own execution to continue to achieve economic advantages in the early stage - after the end of this wave in the lower lane, DME carried out a wave of invasion and tower crossing in the wild area and upper lane respectively.

Relying on the support characteristics of Pan Sen's support, DME can always inexplicably have one more person than SKT in battle, so as to take the first kill.

In contrast, although Wolf also tried his best to support, there was nothing he could do about Fan Ma's being half a beat slower than Pan Sen.

What's more, Zoe can frequently rely on sleep bubbles to try his luck when he walks, on the other hand, Faker's clockwork is biased towards swiping money at the mid lane pile, and it is not easy to get Faker to support the arrival before Zoe.

Time ticks by.

With DME's strong attack, SKT trailed by about 3,000 blocks at the fifteen-minute mark, and also lost two Earth Dragons and a Canyon Pioneer.

However, as a party, faker and other SKT players are all calm.

That's right, they've played this kind of game countless times in the past.

Since you have chosen a late-stage lineup, you just need to stabilize it.

Choosing to shoot when you have an advantage in your own lineup and defending when you are disadvantaged is the basis of Korean operation.

As long as you are not in a hurry, DME, who likes to attack, will expose her flaws by herself.

Soon, the game came to 21 minutes, and the third dragon of the game was about to be refreshed.

The third dragon after the Double Earth Dragon is a Water Dragon, which means that the game will be a Water Dragon terrain.

Of course, the most important thing is that the DME already has two dragons.

If the third water dragon is in the bag, DME will draw the dragon soul.

Therefore, even if he thinks that his development has not yet reached a strong stage, SKT decided to give it a try after hesitating again and again.

"This wave is not easy for SKT to pick up, DME has already stood in a good position."

"If you can delay it for a while, it will be easy to fight, I personally think this wave should be released, and the next wave of Dragon Soul Groups will actually have a higher chance of winning with the opposite side."

"But the Dragon Soul Regiment has no room for error, and once the Dragon Soul is lost, there will be no chance."

"Yes."

The LCK commentators are communicating.

From God's point of view, although this wave of SKT has the ability to engage in battle, the chance of winning is actually only 4% at most, after all, the economy is the backward side.

If you rush to pick up the group, it is very likely that you will send a wave of big rhythm to the opponent.

But DME clearly doesn't intend to give SKT too much time to hesitate.

After a blue ornament determined the position of the SKT crowd, they decisively began to rush the dragon.

And at the moment when Xiaolong was punished, Pan Sen directly opened the big move Great Wilderness Starfall, and the target was directly aimed at Bang in the back row.

Seeing this scene, Bang, Wolf and Bengi could only move closer to the red side of the triangle grass on the right side of the lower lane - they wanted to try to cover Bengi to grab the dragon, but unfortunately DME played too fast and didn't give Bengi a chance at all.

Then if you can't grab the dragon, it is the wisest decision to retreat quickly.

However, DME's will to open the group is quite resolute, and Ember directly opened the ultimate to keep people, and after the deceleration of the first shot of the ultimate, even if Karma's RE group shield accelerated, bengi was still left by Pan Sen's flashing and jumping face, and he also ate the crocodile's red angry W, and the blood bar was more than half in an instant.

In this way, at least Bengi is already a little more auspicious.

"It's over, Bengi is going to be seconds!"

"DME is too fierce, isn't it?"

"This lethal brilliance of the light is too crucial!"

Seeing this scene, the LCK commentators sighed - they knew that they could have released the third dragon directly, and if they didn't grab it, they had to put a bengi in for nothing, which was really a bad steal.

But at this critical moment, unconsciously, a puppet flew to the back row of DME without anyone noticing.

After a short delay, the shockwave released by the puppet pulled all three people in the back row of DME together!

"Oh my God! What did you post? Faker's clockwork hit all three back rows of DME with one ultimate!! ”

In an instant, the commentators were all stunned.

Their attention this time was all on Bengi, who was about to be seconds, and they didn't notice at all that faker's clockwork flashed over the wall from the blue BUFF camp, and they actually completed the winding alone, and also used their ultimate to pull the most important middle and lower field trio of DME!

Zoe, Ember and Spider were all caught off guard, and most of the blood evaporated in an instant!

At the same time, Bang's reaction was even faster, he seemed to have received a hint of a counter-attack, and after faker's wave of ultimate, he turned on Q skill stealth, and turned around and flashed directly to open the big - R skill, full firepower!

So much so that after Zoe and Ember handed over the flash treatment, they still died under the poison burst of Bang's E skill!

That's right!

One-for-five!

After continuing to chase down Spider, Crocodile and Pan Sen, relying on Bengi's lure to the enemy, Faker's god-level detour, and Bang's full firepower, SKT only paid the price of one bengi to destroy the opponent, and directly completed a wave of textbook turnaround! 1603463662
