Chapter 20: There is always a war
The upper bracket is crucial, and if you are lucky enough to draw a relatively weak LGF team, even if they have just beaten the strong SKT, they don't have to be afraid, after all, the foundation is weak, but if you 'draw' the OMG team or the KTA team, the T team will have to show their real form to deal with strong opponents.
Although the teams that fell into the losers' group stepped on the elimination line, no one's true strength was brought into play, for example, EDG met the OMG team, and SKT, the favorite 'gate' team to win the championship, lost to the second-rate team in the Taiwan division It is even more strange. ”
Therefore, under the shroud of this 'yin' conspiracy atmosphere, the importance of the 'lottery' has risen a big notch, and Lan Yu is very persistent in trying to prove himself in this important scene and get rid of the black hand halo that everyone has been ridiculing, so the 'lottery' representative of the T team has not been selected for a long time.
After arguing for a long time, Lan Yu finally pulled Chen Chuxiao to his side, and Mu Huan couldn't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles and finally agreed to give him another chance, and the other team members had no choice but to agree, under the double attention of the camera and the big screen, Lan Yule ran to the stage and accepted the host's interview by the way.
Lan Yu's English is good, so when the host called the translator over, Lan Yu waved his hand to say no, signaling that he could answer in English to accept the interview, which greatly increased the goodwill of many local fans at the scene.
The host also laughed about the friendship between the T-team, the T*M team and the C9 team, and then asked a question that Lan Yu didn't feel easy to answer.
"Of all the teams, which one do you think is the strongest?" The host smiled and handed the microphone to Lan Yu.
Lan Yu thought for a moment and replied in English: "The strongest team I think this year is from our region, the OMG team and the EDG team have caused us a lot of trouble in the summer league, after all, they are old powerhouses, and the styles of the two teams are changeable, it is difficult to find their weaknesses, if you want to defeat them, in addition to being well prepared, you can only pray for their mistakes." ”
This answer still makes many fans feel comfortable, after all, when everyone is now focusing on the Korean team, it is still very exciting to mention the team in their hometown, and the OMG team and the EDG team are indeed very good at their hometown, and they have overcome obstacles all the way to the quarterfinals in the group stage.
"What do you think of the North American team, and what strengths or weaknesses do you have?" The host asked the home audience the most concerned question, after all, before the arrival of the T team, the C9 team and the T*M team spared no effort to build momentum for them, so as to increase the harmony and interest of their club fans.
"First of all, I want to talk about the T*M team, when we were still working hard for the city championship in China, the training in the American service allowed us to meet this team that was high in our eyes at that time, Dyrus is a very good person, not only helped us connect with the friendly match, but also gave us a lot of guidance, I think that aside from our identity as professional players, Dyrus should also be a very respectable person in reality, we are very grateful to them."
"The other C9 team, I know that he helped arrange an interview for us here across the ocean, unfortunately we couldn't 'fight' this tournament, and I've always been eager to beat them on the field because they have the best players in the world, and they and the T*M team have been training for us in the first few months of the professional league, and this feeling' I can think of the best way to repay them is to play a fair game with them on the field, and I would like to take this opportunity to say that if we can, we can stay and play a BO3 match with them on the live platform in North America after the World Finals to give back to the fans who have always supported them. ”
Lan Yu's English is very slippery, and these words have been prepared for a long time, so he said them very smoothly, and immediately got a response from the audience, especially the members of the T*M and C9 teams took the lead in standing ovation, in fact, the agreement to play a friendly match after the game was made very early, but it was better to take this opportunity to say it today.
And Lan Yu's words were not finished, and then he said a little more about what he thought was the problem of the North American team.
"The North American team likes to study the Korean team too much, yes, I admit that the Korean team is indeed on the top of the world now, but this may be changing, I remember a few years ago when I was very young, I watched the North American gods 'fine' Tactics and endless tactical changes, at that time the game belonged to them, the Korean team won the game in a seemingly simpler way, but this change I think is looking at the game from a higher level, but the game will eventually return to the simplest matchups, I hope that both North America and we can find a way to return the game to its original state. ”
Lan Yu's words have caused many people to think, and many fans have remembered the feat of being the first in the world to be swept by European and American teams, but now that a random hero is taken out, most people will first think about who is better at Korean professional players.
This can be regarded as a kind of 'reluctance' of Lan Yu's heart, and he also used this platform to say the words that have been piling up in his heart in one breath.
After a simple interview, I finally came to the 'draw' stage, the four teams 'draw' lot, in fact, only one team needs to 'draw' it, and this 'draw' opportunity was originally given to the OMG team in Group A, but the OMG team gave this opportunity to the T team, so there was a previous dispute.
Lan Yu stepped forward nervously, hesitated for a long time in front of the three red envelopes with the names of the teams, and then 'draw' the one on the very edge, opened it and handed it to the host, who held it high.
The LGF team from the Taiwan division suddenly burst into cheers at the scene, and Lan Yu's own heart was also a stone to the ground, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among the fans of the team in Taiwan, but everyone knew that the 'draw' to the LGF team was already the best sign.
The representative of the OMG team stepped forward to congratulate Lan Yu, who hugged him for a while, and then said softly: "Let's fight you next, let's fight for the first place in China." ”
The captain of the OMG team was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was a blessing for the OMG team to defeat the strong opponents KTA and Team T in the upper bracket finals.
Nodding seriously, all the delegates stepped down to prepare for the next game.
Playing LGF team, T team is actually not so easy, there is a good saying, despise the opponent strategically, respect the opponent tactically.
Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, including countless viewers who watched it online, knew that LGF was a soft persimmon, so the T team didn't think so, and after returning to the hotel from the competition hall, the T team immediately began training in the suite.
First watching the video, and even tracing back to the GPL league battle video from the group stage, the LGF team is a decent team, but occasionally important games can play quite good performances, in the final analysis, it is against two words.
They can analyze a feasible style of play in a very short period of time, and if the opponent does not respond in time, they will let them play an extremely 'fine' performance, such as against SKT or in the GPL promotion match, of course, Lan Yu has always believed that SKT's fall into the lower bracket is a 'yin' scheme.
There is video material and there must be actual training, they contacted the EDG team to play a training match, because they fell into the lower group, so the EDG team has not played recently, and they are afraid that they will lose the feeling of the game, so they gladly agreed to imitate the strong game style of the LGF team and practice with the T team.
The effect of the joint training is good, the strength of the T team is already very strong, and it has been at the top since it entered the professional league, so they are not too afraid of being targeted, and they have also prepared several sets of anti-target lineups, it depends on how the LGF team responds.
The rest of the tournament was led by OMG and KTA, and the collision between these two teams actually attracted much more attention than Team T and LGF, after all, one team with the best record in China, and the other team also shined in this year's OGN in South Korea.
The duel between these two teams represents the highest level of the two regions of China and South Korea to a certain extent, so even if the T team has a match in the future, they still sit in the audience with the EDG team and watch the live broadcast.
The first game of the OMG team was on the blue 'color' side, and got the lineup of Cassadine, robbery, hammerstone, Lucian and the blind monk as they wished, this lineup has a strong impact, three of the five heroes are assassins, the blind monk's roundhouse kick and the first hook of the hammer stone can be perfectly matched, and Cassadine is a single player, and the rhythm effect is good from the strong blind monk in the early stage.
However, at the beginning of the game, the OMG team was still at a slight disadvantage, Cassadine's combat effectiveness before the sixth level was limited, and the opposite side was holding a weapon master, and the early 'confrontation' made Cassadine very uncomfortable, including the jungler on the opposite side also frantically grabbed the road to limit Cassadine's development, but after reaching the sixth level, the situation was improved.
Cassadine directly teleported to the bottom of the road to help the duo come to a double kill, and the displacement of the ultimate allowed Cassadine, the hero, to have a unique advantage in the capture battle, but the top single weapon master on the opposite side also teleported over and killed his own ADC, but was killed by the jungler blind monk who rushed over, and the OMG team took the lead in taking out the little dragon.
The game is going on back and forth, the junglers on both sides are in excellent condition in this game, the economy is even better than that of online heroes, single kills and team kills are continuous, especially for the control of BUFF is to the limit, as soon as the 'hand' comes out with all the strength, but in the end, the first game was still taken by the OMG team, and the second flow of people who robbed and added Cassadine was a bit almost incomprehensible, as long as the opportunity was good, the ADC on the opposite side could not play any damage at all and was killed.
In the second game, the KTA team adjusted its strategy and played the classic Hallyu boost tactics, almost every big formation change was to take out the OMG team's outer tower, under this oppressive 'sex' attack, the OMG team lost too many outer towers and caused stunted development in the early stage, although it tried its best to drag back, but was forcibly defeated by the opponent's 'forced' group, and the KTA team defeated the OMG team in the second game.
The tiebreaker of the third game broke the record of the longest single game since the start of the finals, and played for 55 minutes.
The team battle with each other also makes the equipment of the players on both sides improve like a rocket, and even the support is the six god outfits in the end, and the two sides have fought no less than five times in the big dragon, and finally the jungler of the OMG team grabbed the big dragon, and the other team members took advantage of the situation to start a group, and wiped out the opponent in the big dragon circle, and they also lost three heads, but fortunately, the ADC is still there, and it has been pushed all the way to the middle highland and the upper road highland tower.
The defeat of this team battle was devastating.,The KTA team was pinned down by the line.,No longer able to go out' to deal with the advance of the OMG team.,Finally, the OMG team with the big dragon buff was successfully defeated on the high ground.。。
