Chapter 12: A Showdown of the Strong
The other matchups don't have such a good script, and the LMQ team that lost yesterday also failed to defeat Fnatic, the world's strongest team with a rich tournament team, today, although it also played three games, but it was still cut down because of the lack of experience in the end, and the team in each group of four games has three games, and losing two games is basically ironclad, unless the situation in the group is too complicated.
The TSM team in Group B has a strong defeat to the Alliance, and the strongest team in Europe has suffered consecutive losses, so they almost lost the opportunity to qualify from the group, and their last game is against the South Korean team SGB team, although in recent years, Europe's tactical system has gradually moved towards learning or targeting the Korean team, but the outside world is still not optimistic about them.
What's more, it's hard to say whether the Alliance will go all out and fight for honor.
The debut of the C9 team and the SKTT1 team in Group C also ended with a complete victory for the Korean team, only playing two games, C9 has been learning from South Korea, and learning very well, both games are played in the style that Hallyu is good at, which is the main reason for their defeat.
The most important thing to learn from South Korea is to dig up the opponent's excellent things into your own system and carry them forward, blindly imitating will only be abused by the original Korean team in the end, and the C9 team is also aware of this, but only to find out that there are mistakes in the things carefully prepared on the spot, and it is extremely difficult to correct them.
As for Group D, there is nothing to watch, the level of the wild card team is limited, and it is basically determined to be a tourist team before coming, and the PG team that failed on the first day defeated the MS team on the second day, but unfortunately the attention received was too small, and even the applause on the spot was all Chinese fans out of politeness.
Everyone's attention was still attracted by the third day of the game, and the topic of discussion was also that several teams of the Chinese team were able to successfully "resist South Korea", and even in all large forums, the topic was inseparable from this category.
Day 3 starts with Group A OMG matches, followed by WT matches, and finally Group C EDG teams.
The WT team has begun to study the tactics and playing style of the South Korean team SGB when the order of the group stage is announced, and it can be regarded as some experience, this tactic belongs to the style of the sword and the edge, and the style of play is very uninhibited, which is somewhat similar to the WT team in this point, so in addition to paying attention to the matchup between South Korea in this game, I also want to see if the two teams will come up with some unconventional lineups.
However, the WT team did not train intensively, and they did not need special training to improve their feel during the competition, they just needed to understand the theory and tactics thoroughly.
On the third day of the tournament, several venues were still full, and OMG fans also pulled up a long banner to cheer for them, which was a cheering event organized by the club, and the banner said to cheer for OMG, but in the blank space there were signed names of fans who support OMG team, which is also a way to convey their hearts.
In the pre-match event, fans were shown banners, the director was notified in advance, the big screen directly projected a huge banner in the audience, and the members of the OMG team bowed directly on the stage to thank them, and the atmosphere reached its peak, and the OMG team was considered to have a better chance of beating the Korean team than the WT team, because they have a lot of experience in the tournament and have a lot of experience against the top Korean teams.
In the first two years, it was a pity to lose to the Chinese royal team in the quarterfinals, and this year it restarted from the group stage again, and countless people hope to see the OMG team reproduce the domineering spirit of the god and the Buddha of the year, and the OMG team is also the first place in the Chinese qualifiers, and it is also the representative of the Chinese team in terms of ranking.
At the end of the event, the match between the OMG team and the KTA team officially began.
In the first game, the OMG team was on the blue side, and they were very lucky to grab Cassadine, and then they took out a set of systems that they had secretly studied for a long time: top laner Akali, mid laner Cassadine, jungler prince, auxiliary female tan and male gun.
This lineup is that there are two French breakthroughs, and this lineup has actually been taken out by the WT team, and the OMG team has also found that this lineup is very competitive under the current version after countless matchups with the WT team before the start of the match.
And this lineup is also the opponent KTA team did not expect at all, although Akali is a little inferior in the early stage, but there is the prince's frequent support for the upper and middle lanes, so that the development of Cassadine and Akali is relatively even, there is no head, but the mending knife and level have not fallen.
As for the female tan and male guns in the lower lane, these two heroes are originally heroes with super explosive power, and they are also fighting well in the lower lane, and the eye position is good, and the jungler on the opposite side basically can't find any opportunities.
After reaching the sixth level, the OMG team took the lead in taking out the little dragon, and then started a very weird way of playing, completely giving up on the road, Akali cooperated with the prince to directly double the walk, two to two to defeat the other party, two to one set of second kills, the cooperation of the two people stirred up the Korean team's wild area chickens and dogs, and Cassadine and the lower road took the opportunity to get a very good development opportunity.
The Korean team wanted to play fast, but after the Cassadine time was done, and after the tears of the goddess were on the body, they also joined the wandering, and the mechanism of the three rushes and the high damage made the opposite side unable to beat at all, and the OMG team took the lead directly with the strong point of this lineup.
This lineup was born out of the tactical system of the WT team, but it has been improved, the members of the OMG team are relatively calm, the individual strength is also very average, and the main thing is that they have a stronger sense of the big picture, after all, they have a lot of experience in the game, and the timing they choose to cut in is very effective.
At this point, there is a difference between the OMG team and the WT team, for example, Akali and Cassadine are destined to play harvest rather than output, so they must wait until the opposite round of key skills are exhausted and their own range output skills are also lost before entering, so that the entry is basically headed, Cassadine and Akali are not in the same order of entry and exit, Cassadine will ensure that when he enters the field, a set of exactly one or two residual blood will be played, and then Akali can complete the perfect output.
However, in the system of the WT team, Lan Yu's Akali generally plays the mid laner, while Mu Huan punches the Sardin top laner, basically Mu Huan and Yuan Xiaoye choose to cut in at the same time, and Lan Yu's Akali often cuts in too early, hitting enough damage to leave for his teammates to output.
It can also be seen that the two teams have different understandings of this set of tactics, but the result is always good, and the OMG team leads directly 1-0.
In the second game, the OMG team suddenly adjusted its strategy, the first game broke out first, and the second game was changed to a backhand team, with two files in the front row as the advance, and Zyra and the weapon master as the backhand counterattack, this sudden change of rhythm made the Korean team very uncomfortable, although the response was good, but obviously this is the tactic that the OMG team has designed, and the second game of the two teams has reached the late stage.
The biggest highlight of this game is that the OMG team's auxiliary Jie La, sold all the auxiliary equipment, with a good economy direct full output equipment, not even shoes, just all over the world to find the opposite side of the group, one more output point to make the OMG team's output and control ability greatly increased, plus Zyra Although she is killed by the first hand every time, she can throw out all the skills and the real damage after death.
Originally to play three games, the battle was resolved in two games, and the OMG team crushed South Korea's KTA with an absolutely strong record in the second game, winning two consecutive victories and basically locking up the qualifying place in the group.
The cheers from the audience were even louder, and the OMG team has also survived until now with its strong performance since the beginning of the summer league, showing the Korean team the strength of the improvement of the Chinese regional team.
However, the KTA team is also the first game, and they will not lose confidence because of a loss in one game, but there will be a lot of pressure if they lose at least one game, and more things will be exposed in the next game.
The Chinese team had this kind of tactical discussion before the start of the tournament, and unanimously agreed to go all out when they met the Korean team in the first round, so that no matter who meets these teams again in the quarterfinals, they will have a corresponding understanding, and it seems that the Korean team has not done research in this regard, otherwise the KTA team would not have played so passively in the first game of the group stage.
The next game is the WT team, the opponent is more difficult to deal with, it is the South Korean team that is the first to determine the seeded team to enter the World Finals, and the audience is more nervous, the KTA team is not as good as these two teams in terms of strength after all, the WT team is in the group of death, if the two games are won, then it can basically qualify.
The WT team was the first to enter the competition room, and then the SGB team also entered the competition room to start debugging the machine, and neither side went through the motions on the stage, but the voices of the audience cheering for the WT team were also endless and incitative, during which there were also fans of the Korean team cheering together, but immediately ushered in a crazy counterattack from the Chinese audience, and the bigger wave of cheering instantly destroyed all obstacles that tried to interfere with the audience cheering for the WT team.
This super sound wave even entered the competition room, Lan Yu had not yet put on the headphones, so he vaguely heard the sound of cheering from outside, the big screen happened to introduce Lan Yu, Lan Yu raised his head, and made a fist salute at the camera, and then turned his head sideways and said something to his teammates, the camera pulled back, and the five people raised their heads at the same time and saluted the audience, and the atmosphere of the scene reached the climax again.
Several members of the WT team always know when it's best to get the atmosphere moving.
The battle order has been drawn, the WT team is the first to play on the blue side, and the winning rate of the blue side in this World Finals is still very impressive.
The two teams have entered the special room for the game, and the WT team directly banned the wind sword Hao Yasuo, this hero is very popular in Hanbok, and recently the Hanbok has become popular with the meat Yasuo, through Langton Cheer with the spirit wind to play output and control, very difficult, the WT team has also done their homework in advance, afraid that the opponent will use this hero to disgust themselves.
The SGB team directly banned Akali, whether it was the first OMG team's Akali with Cassadine or the WT team's prestigious Akali harvesting system, the Korean team didn't want to try it, so they were banned directly.
The WT team took out the hammer stone again, and the Korean team's support has a unique preference for this hero, and Wang Yan is not ready to grab the hammer stone first in this game.
The SGB team has banned Freljord's Heart Bronn, and both teams are currently in similar positions.
In the final ban, the WT team took out the nine-tailed demon fox Ahri, and released Sindra and Cassadine to make the final choice.
The Korean team hesitated for a long time, and finally banned Cassadine, so that the WT team directly snatched Sindra single-handedly.
Lan Yu also has a deep understanding of the hero Sindra, and he can be fierce and calm in the line, and he is considered to be the top player in the domestic Sindra, and the most important thing is that he and Yuan Xiaoye have a tacit understanding, and they can often use repulsion and stun to directly send the opponent to Yuan Xiaoye's side by moving around.
This choice made the audience very excited, in fact, Lan Yu would be excited about anything, but getting a hero who looked stronger also triggered a big discussion about the tactics of the WT team, and the scene was noisy.
