With the end of the second match day, the list of the top four of the CG League of Legends project was officially released.

"Today's opponent is Team Lyon." On the day of the competition, Lin Mu returned to the Kunshan International Hall.

Team Lyon, from Mexico in South America, whose full name is Lyon-Gaming, is a team with considerable local popularity.

If Lin remembers correctly, the team finished fifth in the S3 International Wild Card Qualifiers a few months ago, and first in Latin America.

Their popularity and status in Latin America is equivalent to RPGs in Japan.

Speaking of which, this Lyon team has really an indissoluble bond with RPGs, and the experiences of the two teams are particularly similar.

They are also the best in the wild card division, and they are also teams that have been formed since the S2 era and have persevered.

These two teams participated in the MSI Play-In Tournament together in the S7 season alone, and the S7 Play-In Tournament was not very satisfactory, but at least players around the world saw their persistence and refusal to give up.

And if you go back in time, the first time the two brothers and sisters participated together was this CG.

Of course, compared to the RPG that ate a zero egg in the group stage and sparked heated discussions among Japanese netizens, the Lyon team obviously gained a lot in this competition.

Even, after the end of the first elimination day yesterday, many media called it "the biggest surprise of this CG, the glory of the wild card division".

First, he defeated the Lightning Wolves in the group stage and won the first place in the group, avoiding the nightmare of meeting the world champion in the first round of the knockout round.

Then, in the quarterfinals with the Russian team RED, he used a routine to play with the opponent, so as to win smoothly and advance to the semifinals 2-0!

Except for them, the top four are all monopolized by China and South Korea, and even European and American teams have failed to get a seat.

It can be said that after entering the semi-finals, Lyon has not only become the biggest dark horse of this year's CG, but also the hope of all Latin American players.

However, compared to those Europeans and Americans with full personalities, the five members of Team Lyon are quite self-aware. In an interview with the media before the game, all five of them modestly said that it was their honor to play against the S3 champion, and it would also be their biggest gain from coming to China this time.

"Okay, welcome to the 2013CG Global Finals, here is the scene of the semi-finals, hello everyone, I'm Xiaomi."

"I'm less than."

"First of all, I would like to introduce you to the schedule, which is RT vs. Lyon, followed by E and SSB, and the two semi-finals will be played today."

"Yes, I believe friends who have watched the previous games know that although the Lyon team is not well-known, it has successfully impressed people in this competition, first qualifying with the first place in Group A, and then successfully reaching the semi-finals, which is definitely not to be underestimated."

"Judging from the few days of competition, the staffing of this team is very good, and there are no shortcomings."

"This is also the reason why they can become dark horses, the key is an overall strength."

"Yes, you can see that BP has started, the blue side is our RT, and the purple side is Team Lyon."

"Spiders, clockwork, and Shen, RT's wrench is very decisive!"

"The Lyon team, on the other hand, lost the Blind Monk, Lucian and Anne respectively, and it can be seen that they put their heart into it before the game."

"RT grabbed the dragon girl, and the Leon team was not to be outdone, and directly took out the combination of policewoman + scarecrow!"

"This scarecrow can be supplemented and wild, it should be a swinging position."

"But RT doesn't care so much, their second and third choices are Sword Demon and Hammer Stone, which means that they have to save Double C for the last choice."

"Huh? Widows? It seems that the Leon team really used their ultimate, and their jungler in this game sacrificed Evelyn as a hero! ”

"So how will the double C position on RT's side be taken, or will it be Cassadine? Well, it's locked, and it can be seen that Vulcan is very confident. ”

"As for Shimogi, he took out an EZ, which is also a hero he uses very much."

"It's the turn of the last Kante on the purple side, and sure enough, it's the praying mantis."

"It seems to have become a very popular way to play with the praying mantis to come to Kante Cassadine, since the Russian team used this hero to achieve good results in the group stage!"

"But, have you noticed, the Mexican team seems to want to play tricks again, and their praying mantis didn't go to the middle lane, but went to the top lane!"

"Is this going to be hit by the praying mantis? Crocodile hit? ”

"No, it's a duo coming, and the crocodile is going to resist the pressure!"

"This kind of three-way all-change style of play is a bit scary."

Under the OB lens from God's perspective, even if the line has not yet started, everyone can clearly see the division of the Lyon team.

Playing routines?

Lin Mu was also stunned for a moment after he found out that there was an honest crocodile on the opposite side, and at the same time, a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There are usually only two situations in which this three-way all-swap style of play is used.

First, the opposite middle lane was too strong, and the double lane had to be transferred to suppress.

Some of the more famous examples are the Royals in the Summer and the SS Team in the OGN Winter.

Of course, the reason why the royal family uses this tactic is to make themselves more comfortable, and they usually let Wuwu Kai choose their own signature little fishman to play against the opposite short-handed top laner, and also give UZI better room for development.

As for SS, the most famous classic battle is undoubtedly the third game against SKT in the Winter Finals.

In that game, DADE's keg went to the top lane at the start, swapping IMP's Wheel Mom and MATA's Female Tan to the middle lane to suppress Faker.

The reason why this tactic was used is that everyone knows that at the beginning of the first game of the finals, DADE was killed by the big demon king in the middle lane.

Level 3 Ruiwen forcibly killed the level 2 wine barrel, I believe many people are very impressed by this scene.

It was precisely because Faker's state was so hot at that time that DADE, which also had a good status in South Korea, had to avoid it and carry out this humiliating change.

Of course, everyone knows the result, that is, the DADE on the road 1V1 not only did not take advantage, but was also taken care of by stupid chickens. However, Faker, who is in the middle lane 1V2, has developed beautifully, and in the end, there are more than a dozen more mending knives than Ah Zhen.

This final was undoubtedly the most embarrassing moment in DADE's life, and in the end, it also contributed to his change of team with the fat general.

In the end, SKT swept Samsung White 3-0 and won the second OGN championship in his life with a complete victory.

This is the first case where the three-way lane change tactic is enabled.

As for the second case, it's even simpler.

When you don't have the confidence to win against your opponent in all three ways, you can only hope for this unconventional line to win by surprise.

This is undoubtedly the case with the Mexican team.
