Chapter 38

"Okay, let's start to look at the BAN/PICK on both sides, the first game of BO3 (best-of-three) is that the free team is on the blue side first, BAN drops the three heroes of Annie Dead Gretz, and on the Phoenix side, BAN drops the blind monk Nightmare and the robot."

"This BAN man...... The intentions of both sides are obvious, and judging from the spoof posture, it is even possible for the free team to grab a mid-laner hero, so there are very few options for Meng Zhe. ”

In the first game of the match, both sides went head-to-head against each other's star players from the BAN/PICK, the midlaner Meng Zhe of the Phoenix team and the jungler Li Xiang of the free team.

"Sure enough, the free team snatched the clockwork with one hand, and it seems that they are determined not to give Meng Zhe a way out."

Xiao Zhong took out the pen in his chest pocket while commenting on the commentary table, and then began to record something in the notebook on the right hand side of his freedom, a habit he had maintained since he was a professional player.

"Then let's see how the Phoenix team will respond, will these two hands also go to grab the jungler?"

"The prince and Jax...... The Phoenix team directly took the top laner and the jungler, and these two heroes have a very high priority in the current version, and they can also produce a good match with clockwork. ”

The BAN/PICK on both sides proceeded extremely quickly, as if the other side's strategy had been anticipated from the beginning.

"Next to the freedom side is EZ and the piano girl, and Phoenix took the policewoman and the gem ......"

"Both sides have taken the bottom lane combination, this combination of the Phoenix team I have seen them use in the ranking, in the current version of the gem E skill first fainted, if the policewoman immediately picks up a clamp, it is likely to form a continuous control, but there are also rumors that this set of tactics is about to be weakened."

Guan Liang remembered that he had been overshadowed by this combination of the Phoenix team in the ranking before, and he had been very impressed by this combination since that time.

"But this cooperation also requires a good tacit understanding between the two players, otherwise there is no way to achieve continuous control."

"That's true, but from my experience with them, the two players on the bottom lane of the Phoenix team have hardly made any mistakes in the connection......

"That's really a terrible thing, can Fan Xin and SUP (support) Fellini in the bottom lane of the Phoenix team actually achieve this level in a short period of time."

The next two finishes on both sides have each determined the final lineup.

On the side of the Liberty Sentai is TOP: Blade Will JG: Shen MID: Clockwork AD: EZSUP: Koto Girl

And the Phoenix team is TOP: Jax JG: Prince MID: Leopard Girl AD: Policewoman SUP: Jewel

"Guan Liang, what do you think of the lineups on both sides?"

"In general, the mobility of the lineup on the Phoenix team's side is a little stronger, and there are displacement skills in addition to gems, while the free team's side took this lineup more in consideration of team battles, and if you can make Shen taunt the key characters and wind up at the same time to connect the ultimate, the basic team battle is a sure win.

That is to say, if the free team is smooth enough to play a team, it is easy to win the game through a few team control ultimate, but the Phoenix team will obviously not be easily attacked by the key figures in the big and medium, and several cores are quite flexible to ensure that the position is dispersed during the team battle, and at the same time, their excellent mobility can also ensure that they can gain an advantage in the small-scale team battle of medium-term support. ”

"Just like you said, but there is one thing we still need to pay attention to, that is, the individual online ability of the Phoenix team is obviously stronger than that of the free team, and several of their players are also perennially in the top few of the national server standings, so it can be said that this is a confrontation between individual ability and team cooperation. Flash"

As the game starts, players on both sides enter the game, and whoever wins the first game first in the BO3 match can gain a huge psychological advantage, so the victory or defeat of the first game is crucial for both sides.

At the beginning of the match, both teams were conservatively dispersed, and it looked like both sides weren't going to have any accidents with each other from the start, and when the lanes began to make contact, the heroes on both sides came to the line.

"It's a very peaceful early stage, just see what happens to the first wave of GAN after the jungler gets the double buff."

At three minutes and forty seconds into the game, after the junglers on both sides took the double buff, they invariably aimed the GINK target at the middle lane, and after playing each other's faces and throwing a few skills, the two walked away in a funny way.

"The two junglers actually collided together, but at this point in time, no matter who they are, they don't dare to be too aggressive, it seems that they can only wait until the two sides have ideas about the first dragon."

Both teams had near-perfect vision in the early stages, which also led to little room for the junglers on both sides, but even so, the Phoenix team gradually began to use their excellent individual abilities to master the rhythm of the early stage.

"Although there is no head, but unconsciously the economy has opened up by nearly a thousand, from this point of view, the freedom team is really still a little difficult in terms of lanes."

Guan Liang has also played against the pros many times in recent qualifying matches, and he also understands how difficult it is to open a 1,000-dollar economic gap in just ten minutes without producing heads, but now the Phoenix team has indeed done it.

"Especially Meng Zhe, he is obviously in an absolute weakness in terms of heroes, but he is not inferior at all in mending the knife, is this the calmness of the king......"

Xiao Zhong seemed to have a little bitterness in his tone when evaluating Meng Zhe, the greatest honor and the greatest sorrow as a player is to live in an era with a genius like Meng Zhe, and trying to climb the almost impassable wall again and again has failed, which is also a major reason for Xiao Zhong's retirement.

As the game progressed, the Phoenix team's advantage gradually expanded, but it did not reach a point that the free team could not accept.

"The time has reached eighteen minutes in the middle of the grind, during this period, only five heads broke out on both sides, and the Phoenix team temporarily led by four to one, but Xiaolong grabbed one due to Li Xiang's outstanding performance, and the free team has not been opened up too far now."

"Let's count the transition to the team battle period, now let's see how the team battle lineup of the free team will play, the refresh time of the next dragon is still thirty seconds, and the top laner Jax of the Phoenix team has also begun to rush in the direction of the dragon, and the free team here is to let the jungler Shen push the line on the upper lane while the other four have already taken a position at the dragon."

"This wave of team battles will determine the next direction of this game, whether the free team stands on the edge of the cliff or the Phoenix team's early advantage disappears, it depends on this wave of team."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire arena has reached the most tense stage, and the importance of this Xiaolong team battle is self-evident, and everyone is waiting for what kind of operation the players on both sides will show next.

"The line of troops on the road has been carefully pushed under the tower, and the Phoenix team seems to be in a bit of a hurry, the prince directly began to approach Xiaolong, and the policewoman also aimed her output at Xiaolong."

"But in this way, the formation of the Phoenix team will be pulled very uncomfortable, it seems that they plan to directly force the other party to start a group first?"

The Phoenix team's move is obviously to force the free team to take the initiative to open a group, and at the same time, Meng Zhe's leopard girl is constantly using her mobility and Q skills on the side to carry out POKE (long-range consumption), and it is impossible for the free team to watch the Phoenix team take out this little dragon at this time. 35xs

"The will of the blade took the lead and walked directly at the front of the formation, and at this time, Li Xiang's Shen had already given him the big move!"

"Xiaolong's blood line has bottomed out, and at this time, Fan Xin's policewoman also aimed at the blade will at the forefront! Use the range of the policewoman to continuously maintain the maximum distance for output! ”

Li Xiang's Shen teleported down directly, but at this time, Xiaolong had already been picked up by the Phoenix team, so it was up to the next pursuit battle! Clockwork accelerated to his teammates, and the piano girl made a flash move at this time! ”

Under the double acceleration effect of clockwork acceleration and Qin Girl's own E skill, Qin Girl decisively narrowed the distance between herself and the members of the Phoenix team, and beautifully controlled the three of them with a flash ultimate!

"But at this time, I was not directly thrown by a backhand E skill from Dazhong Gem to Li Xiang's Shen! Directly cut off the chain of control of the Freedom Sentai team! ”

Originally, if Shen could safely pick up the taunt after the piano girl's flashed ultimate, then the ultimate, which combined with clockwork, could immediately cause huge damage to the Phoenix team's side, but Fellini's gem threw a key stun at this time, cutting off this chain of control!

"Although this vertigo is only a short one. 5 seconds, but this moment gave the Phoenix team an important respite, and the policewoman immediately handed over her E skill and withdrew to the rear to start outputting the blade will! It seems that the Liberty team has no way to control the flexible lineup of the Phoenix team right now! ”

Just when everyone thought that this team battle would end with the victory of the Phoenix team, Li Xiang's Shen suddenly began to release the taunt skill at a strange distance...... "If you release the taunt at this point, you can only taunt Jax and the prince, does Li Xiang think that even if you can't control Fan Xin's policewoman, you can win this team battle?" ”

But just before Xiao Zhong's words fell, Li Xiang's Shen suddenly handed over the flash skill, and after controlling the prince and Jax in an almost extreme position, he flashed out with a taunting effect!

"Oh my God! The policewoman had obviously used her E skill to get rid of the taunt range, but Li Xiang's Shen actually handed over a flash at the limit distance! Mocked the three members of the Phoenix team at once! ”

At the moment when Li Xiang handed over the flash, Clockwork's E skill flew to him without hesitation, and then a big move directly pulled the three people who were taunted by Shen back to the center of the ball!

"Clockwork's ultimate hit three people! The blood line on the Phoenix team's side suddenly slipped to an extremely dangerous realm, and the blade then directly followed the E skill and slowed down to the policewoman! Fan Xin's policewoman has been pressed by the other party's two front rows at this time, and there is no output space at all! ”

Xiao Zhong suddenly shouted hysterically without controlling his emotions at this time, and from the moment the clockwork hit the policewoman, the balance of the entire team battle suddenly tilted towards the side of the free team!

"Although Jax immediately stunned the blade next to him, the passivity of the blade played a huge role at this time, and this stunned time was directly reduced to less than one second, which could not change the status quo that the policewoman could not output!"

The reason why the hero Blade Will is popular is because this hero's passivity allows her to gain an extremely high toughness in team battles, and any control skills thrown on her will be greatly reduced, which leads to her being able to perfectly contain the output of the opposite ADC.

"The policewoman's blood volume is directly bottoming out! At this time, the gem flashed back and added a mouthful of blood, but this little bit of blood could not guarantee the safety of the policewoman! Blade and Shen are still out, still out! The policewoman only has a trace of blood left! ”

With Li Xiang's Shen last Q skill thrown out, Fan Xin's policewoman was also completely declared dead at this time, and the Phoenix team, which lacked the largest output point in the team, was powerless at this time.

"The policewoman is dead! The Freedom team immediately shifted the output target to Jax, another taunt! This taunt directly left the Phoenix team trying to retreat completely helpless! EZ flashed up directly to harvest, three kills! In the end, this time in the team battle, only Meng Zhe ran away with his blood, and the free team played a wave of zero for four! ”

With EZ's three kills, the Freedom Sentai team perfectly won this team battle, and took out the middle and lower two outer towers again while the opponent was not resurrected, and the economy of the two sides was only less than a thousand at this time.

And the cameraman also gave the camera to the members of the Phoenix team in the compartment at this time, the faces on their faces were extremely solemn at this time, although they still had a slight lead in terms of economy, but they knew better than anyone that once the team of the free team equaled the economy, it meant that the team battle on their side would fall into a great disadvantage.

After the end of this breathless team battle, Xiao Zhong's mood finally calmed down and began to throw the topic to Guan Liang.

"Guan Liang, what do you think of the odds of victory between the two sides now?"

"As long as there are no major mistakes on the side of the free team, then the Phoenix team has basically no chance of winning in the next few waves of team battles."

Guan Liang did not hesitate to give his conclusion, in fact, for a player of the level of professional players, after the game smoothly enters the team battle, it is less than which side makes fewer mistakes.

Because no matter how strong your individual strength is, there is a limit to the operating space on both sides in the case of a balance of power, and many times the comeback game in the game is often not how well one side plays but the other side has a major mistake, which is also the biggest gap between the professional game and the passerby game: discipline.

For the rest of the game, Team Liberty managed to get the pace of the game perfectly, not making a single mistake for the Phoenix team from start to finish, and finally won the first game with 47 minutes to go.

"Team Phoenix played GG! The first game of BO3 was won by the free team! ”

After successfully defeating Team Phoenix to win the first game, the members of Team Liberty in the compartment jumped from their positions in excitement, while the rest of Team Phoenix stared at their screens with solemn faces.

"A win in the first game will go a long way in helping the Liberty team to free up their hands in the next games, while the Phoenix team needs to think carefully about their next strategy."

The fans of both teams at the scene also showed diametrically opposed expressions, but even so, they were still shouting for their teams.

Although Guan Liang was sitting on the commentary platform thousands of miles away at this time, he was still infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and no player could refuse the temptation of the title, whether it was the free team that took the lead or the Phoenix team who tried to win back a game, they were all engrossed in the game at this moment.

"How? Do you want to stand in that place too? ”

During the break between the games, Xiao Zhong patted Guan Liang's back, who had been staring at the screen at the scene, and woke him up from his stunned state.

"I just feel the enthusiasm of these fans, and no matter who can have these fans who support their team so firmly, no matter who they are, they will envy."

"If it were you, you might be able to do that......"

Xiao Zhong said to Guan Liang half-jokingly, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Don't kid me, I don't have any intention of becoming a pro."

"Who knows what will happen in the future? When I was a child, I often struggled with whether to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future. ”

"And what is the end result?"

Guan Liang casually asked Xiao Zhong.

"You always feel full of malice in this question......"

"It's true that as you said, no one knows what will happen in the future, but at least most of the results are chosen by ourselves, and once we choose to stay away from something, many times we never have the opportunity to approach it again."

"But maybe it's just that you don't want to approach it, Mo Fan, the top laner of the Phoenix team, do you know how old he is now?"

"I don't know ......"

Guan Liang didn't react at once, and he didn't realize what Xiao Zhong meant by this question.

"He's 28 years old now, which is not as simple as an older player for an esports professional, but he still hasn't given up on fighting for the championship, and I interviewed him once before, and he said at the time:

It may seem unreasonable to many outsiders that I suddenly quit a job at such an age to pursue esports, but for me it is just a natural choice. I want to prove to the world that we pros don't get into esports because we're desperate, we just do it because we love it. ”

When mentioning the previous interview with Mo Fan, Xiao Zhong's eyes were full of admiration, and at the same time there was a trace of unwillingness.

"No one can understand his behavior......

"But it is precisely because of his determination that he has been able to win the championship with the Phoenix team again and again, so don't underestimate an old guy's desire for the championship......"

Xiao Zhong put on the headset again after saying this, and the second game of the scene has entered the BAN/PICK picture, this time the BAN/PICK both sides have come up with a common lineup, but this time Guan Liang seems to feel a different breath from the Phoenix team.

"The desire for a championship ......"

"That's right, you just take a good look at the reason why the Phoenix team is strong, is this desire for the championship!"

As a result, in the second game, as Xiao Zhong said before the match, the Phoenix team showed strong willpower, and pressed the rhythm of the free team from the first minute of the game until the twentieth minute of the match.

"Now in this game, the Phoenix team has an absolute advantage, but they didn't choose to attack the high ground of the Liberty team right away, what is the reason for this?"

Guan Liang asked the little bell on the side in confusion.

"They're eating down the confidence of the Liberty team, most of the pros are still in their twenties, and for them, the loss in the previous game can easily affect the rest of the fight, and what the Phoenix team is doing now is to deepen the impression of this defeat in the opponent's mind."

In a multi-game game, the two sides compete not only in individual skills and tactics, but also in the psychology of the players on both sides is also an important condition for determining the ownership of the championship, just as in many sports, coaches and players will release some smoke bombs to disturb the opponent's psychology during pre-match interviews.

"In other words, if this absolute disadvantage continues, it will have a big impact on the young players of the free team......

In the twenty-three minutes of the game, after Li Xiang saw that the number of heads on both sides had shown an irreparable gap, he could only sigh and click the surrender button, and at the same time typed the two letters GG.

The Phoenix team pulled one back, and the score on both sides was tied 1:1! The entire BO3 championship battle was dragged into the tiebreaker!
