-140- You must show all your strength in a dignified manner
On Monday, the LCS Player Community.
Although the third round of the game only came to an end yesterday, since last night, basically all the viewers in the LCS region have been looking forward to the fourth round next week - as a fish pond in the North American region, the third round except for the battle between C9 and TSM, in fact, there is no quality game at all, after all, like TL playing FLY and OPT or something, it is all hard power, and you can't understand what suspense is when you watch it.
Even the C9 and TSM ones, if you really want to talk about quality, in fact, that's it.
After all, although TSM has changed to a good new list this season, it does not prevent Plzen from continuing to serve as his orphanage director, and he is still sitting in the middle of the lane, and the bad news is coming from all directions, and before he can carry it, he blew up the next road first, and finally regretted losing to C9.
But even so, the North American audience is still very interested in the matchup between TL and TSM.
After all, TL's newcomer mid-laner has been able to be called a Twitter explosion in the past two days, and many commentators and viewers who have watched the game have said that if Dong Zao can maintain his state and not pull across, he will definitely be the future star of LCS, and even some e-sports media have learned some stalks from the LPL side and given her the nickname "Little Pilsen".
So the question is, has Little Pilsen met Big Pilsen, which Pilsen is stronger?
Moreover, the full name of TSM is TeamSoloMid, which is the "mid-lane fighting team", and this mid-lane duel must be the most important!
"Ness! It's finally time for TL to play TSM in the fourth round, and I can't wait to see this mid lane fight! ”
"Yes, although I only played six games, but Dongjube's performance has been very stable and does not drop the chain, even Jensen I don't think she is necessarily as strong as her, this weekend to play TSM, I am curious about who will win when she fights with Pilsen."
"Your expectations for Dong Jujube are too high, don't forget that she has only played six games, she shouldn't have made up her mind so early! And I'm sure if she doesn't play well against Pilsen, you'll start squirting her right away. ”
"Indeed, Pilson's LCS No. 1 midlane was played for several years, and Dong Jujube only played six handfuls, and it was blown into the first mid-laner, which is really outrageous."
"Sure Pilsen is stronger."
"Actually...... I think Plzen shouldn't have waited for him to hit a single kill or something, and his teammates will blow up first. ”
"That's right, Dong Zao's teammates are very good and can make her play very comfortable, on the other hand, on the TSM side, Plzen and his four moving eyes...... He's too hard. ”
There was a lot of discussion on the forum, and the expectations for the game were directly full, but it was obvious that most of them were optimistic about Plzen.
And Tang Xiaotang's side is also very serious about the showdown with TSM on the weekend.
After all, in the S9 Spring Tournament in another parallel world, the TL of the regular season was also invincible, with seven consecutive wins at the beginning.
However, it only overturned when playing TSM.
And it's not just that the fourth round of TSM overturned, TL didn't win the entire regular season.
Even in the playoffs, it was the fifth game of the BO5 battle with TSM in the spring finals, and he won TSM 3:2 and won the spring championship and the ticket to MSI.
In this way, it is necessary for Tang Xiaotang to face this game with the most serious attitude so far in the regular season.
On the one hand, she is very curious about whether she can reverse the outcome of TL's defeat with her own traverser making trouble, and on the other hand, Pilsen is the No. 1 midlaner in North America, and he is the king of Europe and the United States at the same level as CAPS.
Soon!
Five days have passed, and it's just another Saturday.
Saturday's opponent is GG, the team of world No. 1 Icebird froggen.
This team with an unlucky name is considered the strength and weakness of the LCS, with a record of nine wins and nine losses at the end of the regular season, and the middle of the midstream kneels very quickly when it encounters TL - froggen plays the ice bird as a brush in the middle lane, and Tang Xiaotang plays an ice girl and brushes him against him, but the results on both sides of the middle lane have not yet been brushed, but the big brother on the lower road is crazy, and he can't stop it, and the game is naturally won.
So, on TL's side, after winning seven consecutive victories, what is about to usher in is the peak showdown with TSM.
As long as even TSM is won together, then there is no team in the entire LCS that can pose a threat to TL - in fact, there is another team called FOX, but the level of FOX is not as good as the league quality inspector GG, which is not worth mentioning at all.
……
Sunday.
LCS Spring Session.
After the previous match between CLG and GG, it was followed by the highlight of the day, which is TL vs. TSM.
Like TL, TSM is also a traditional powerhouse in North America, with countless fans, and was even called a cult for a time, even if it is not a TSM game, European and American audiences will be very excited to shout TSM over there, which is very similar to LGD in China.
So today's scene is also particularly lively, TSM fans and TL fans are on the left and right in the audience, and the momentum is also equal.
Then, when the players from both sides appeared, the fans at the scene immediately shouted and cheered loudly for the teams they supported - although there must be fans of other teams who came to watch the game, TL and TSM are two very special teams, and basically any LCS viewer will be a fan of one of the teams, or simply like both.
And among these cheers and shouts, many of them are related to Tang Xiaotang, after all, the focus of this game is the middle lane, although TL's rookie mid-laner has performed very well so far, but whether he can withstand the pressure of Plzen, no one can say, if he doesn't withstand it, let Plzen carry up, then the victory or defeat is really hanging.
After a while.
After the commissioning of the machine, both sides immediately enter the ban/pick link.
Among them, TSM is on the blue side, and he first banned Chen Zilan's spider first-hand, obviously through the previous game video, TSM also found that the best hero of the rookie jungler is the spider, and the combat power of the spider drops by one-third without it.
Immediately afterwards, they successively banned Urgart and Galio, which were used to target impact and Tang Xiaotang - the current version of Urgart is still very fierce, and impact likes to play very much, and it is no problem to target it, and on the middle side, when playing CG before, Tang Xiaotang's Galio performed amazingly, and it is natural to be in the last ban position.
As for Akali, a theoretically non-ban version of the hero, TSM is not in a hurry at all, after all, they are on the blue side, and they can grab Akali, mainly depending on whether TL is banned or not.
On TL's side, the first two hands were Pilsen's Knife Sister and Snake Girl, which can be regarded as giving enough respect, but in the third hand, TL did not choose to ban Akali, nor did he target Pilsen's signature hero Sindra, but chose to ban the spear of revenge.
"Sindra has been released, Akali has also been released, which one do you want to choose?" Seeing this, TSM's coach frowned and immediately looked at Plzen.
That's right, Sindra is Pilsen's signature hero, and he is also the hero with the most selected and proficient skills in his career, and almost all teams that play against TSM will choose to take the initiative to ban Sindra first to give the No. 1 midlaner in North America a lot of respect.
Right now, TL didn't choose the ban version of the hero Akali, but also put Pilson's signature Sindra, which is a bit tangled.
And his own top laner can't play Akali, and if he grabs it, he must give it to Pilsen, so after thinking about it, the coach decided to let Pilsen make his own decision.
"I think ......," Pilson said, rubbing his brow and after a moment of silence, "it's still Sindra." ”
In fact, from a rational point of view, the version of the hero Akali should be grabbed directly, but emotionally, Sindra with her invincible skills is more proficient and seems to be a little more trustworthy.
Just like when SKT and EDG fought to BO5, Lee Sang-hyuk knew that his opponent wanted him to choose the Enchantress, but he still chose it without hesitation, because he trusted his Enchantress too much, just like Pilsen trusted his Sindra at the moment.
As long as he can get Sindra, he has the confidence to lead the team to victory, and what version of T0 Akali, in front of him, is all stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
And the other side......
Seeing that the opponent abandoned Akali and chose Sindra as expected, Cain and Tang Xiaotang looked at each other and smiled, their expressions were a little proud, and then they decisively snatched Akali.
There is no doubt that this ban/pick strategy has an element of gambling, betting that Pilsen trusts Sindra more, so as to help Tang Xiaotang get the Akali that she has always wanted to take but never had the chance to get - of course, it doesn't hurt to lose the bet, Tang Xiaotang is also very experienced in fighting Akali, and he will use the sword demon to fight against the backhand.
Now it seems that this strategy has clearly worked as it should, with Plzen getting Sindra, which he is best at, and Tang Xiaotang also getting Akali.
Next, it's the Imperial City PK in the middle lane.
While imagining the various possibilities of the line, Tang Xiaotang picked up the pack of pocky he brought, pretended to tear open the bag, and then stuffed a high-grade explosive biscuit into his mouth.
That's right, she swallowed this high-grade explosive biscuit, not because she couldn't beat it, but out of respect for Plzeň.
After all, the bad guy is also the No. 1 Dharma King in North America, and he doesn't even need to explode cookies, so he looks down on others.
You can't hide it anymore, that's insulting...... You still have to show your true strength!
