In the afternoon, EDG arrived at the venue, the Chicago Grand Theatre, a landmark similar to the San Francisco arena, with white walls and broken glass windows.

However, when you enter the theater, the interior decoration of the two is clearly distinguished, the former is solemn and solemn, and the latter, as one of the first movie theaters in the United States, was originally based on the concept of luxury and elegance in order to attract the upper class audience, and after the transformation into an opera house, the interior luxury has been raised to a new level.

The golden hall, crystal chandeliers, and bright red seats arranged in three curved tiers are contrasted, and the large electronic screen hangs in the center of the stage, as if the venue has restored its original function and is playing a blockbuster movie.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the almost boiling cheers when you see the pre-game promotional video on the big screen!

The strongest cheers before the start of the game came from the moment when the players appeared in the promotional video!

Due to the tight preparation time, only two teams of mid-laner players appeared in the promotional video, and each shot less than five seconds of footage.

The first is the ROX mid-laner Kuro, walking down the sidewalks of Chicago.

Unlike the high-spirited little peanut, his tone was very gentle, "Our team is ready to face EDG, and the quarterfinals should be able to advance smoothly." ”

followed by a wonderful operation of the ROX group stage, and it was the turn of the Summertime shot.

She sat on the Chicago subway in an EDG black and red jacket with a checked denim skirt and leather boots, staring forward, very like a comic book heroine.

At the same time, the voice of the Sakura girl appears in the background.

"Rox is the No. 1 seed in the LCK, and we in EDG are also the No. 1 seed in the LPL, and I think the No. 1 seed in the LPL is stronger than the No. 1 seed in the LCK, and I will prove that in this match!" ”

LCK viewers who watched the game from afar away in South Korea have brushed up in the live broadcast room at this moment [hard mouth! After all, EDG not only lost to the second seed SKT in the group stage, but even the wild card team INTZ lost to the first seed of the LPL, and it is not worthy of the qualification to compare with the first seed of the LCK.

The only thing in the audience was the frenzied cheers of the audience after hearing Mika's voice.

The trailer cuts to her solo show in the group stage, with commentary in English.

"Mika is like the heroine of a Japanese anime, she came to EDG from LJL to pursue her dreams, and fought with the idol factory manager, and now the team has once again come to change the fate of the quarterfinals, and she will do her best to do her best!"

This concludes the promotional video for the quarterfinals.

Doll Miller and guest PDD are responsible for the commentary of this China-South Korea focus game.

"Everyone must have seen the fight the day before yesterday," the doll was the first to speak, "RNG still had some regrets in the end, losing to the defending champion SKT. ”

"But it doesn't matter, as Mika said in the promotional video, there is still the No. 1 seed to help us get back on the field today." He said cheerfully.

He is not as optimistic as he seems in his heart, and the RNG quarterfinals are not just a loss, but a fiasco.

EDG's performance in the group stage is half a pound and eight taels of RNG, and this time it is more than auspicious with the BO5 of the ROX No. 1 seed.

But there is no way.

LPL only has this lone seedling left, no matter how optimistic the audience and himself are, he has to be tough as an LPL commentator.

Although PDD has a good relationship with EDG and Mika, the commentary is very fair, "That's right, but ROX's strength cannot be underestimated, as the No. 1 seed, they have a very good performance in LCK this year, and this group stage, the performance is actually better than EDG." ”

Miller said, "I can only say that I look forward to EDG's adjustment in the past few days, as well as the play of BO5!" If the factory manager can maintain the performance of skt in the second round of the group stage, there is still a good chance of winning. ”

……

After the three of them analyzed the strength and situation of the two teams, the players appeared on the stage, and the game officially began.

"Come on, with the enthusiastic applause of the scene, the game BP begins!

The blue side Rox first took out the excavator with the factory director's sign, the red side EDG banned the spider with a high winning rate in the group stage of Little Peanut, Roxtiger banned Bobby, and EDG banned the leopard girl who was also good at Little Peanut. The doll said in one breath.

"The last Rox thought about it for a long time, banning Mika's Sindra, and EDG's side banning the ice of the Rat King Pray." Miller Road.

Doll exclaimed, "Well, Faker played very well in the quarterfinals before, and Ruiz, who Mika is also very good at, is still outside!" What is Rox going to do with it, do you want to rob Kuro? ”

BP interface, Rox did not hesitate to show the policewoman.

The reason why they banned Sindra was that they wanted to let the wandering Ruiz to Mika, and then let Kuro choose the Dragon King or Victor to mix with her, and the Rat King Pray used a policewoman to break through the opponent from the bottom lane!

Ruiz is a trap that is not too big or too small!

Summertime didn't accept the offer, because for her, it didn't matter if Ruiz gave it to Kuro, it was better to give up the selection opportunity to her teammates.

So EDG immediately selected the blind monk and the auxiliary Zyra, and while grabbing the blind monk, he dismantled the opponent's female policewoman Zyra combination.

Rox picks Olaf and Karma.

The former is recognized as a restrained blind monk, and the latter can be boosted with a female policeman.

To Rox two or three choices, Kuro still does not choose Ryze!

Mixia wasn't in a hurry, she let the adc choose Ember first, and then shouted to pick Jace, and continued to put Ruiz outside.

It was Rox's turn to choose the last two choices, Kenan who showed off Counter Jace in the top laner, and Kuro in the mid laner chose the Dragon King again, still leaving Ruiz to Summer.

It's already obvious that Kuro won't be Ryze, or to put it more seriously, he doesn't have confidence in taking Ryz against Summer! More confident that Rhy, who can restrain Mixia with the Dragon King!

The commentary shows the situation.

The doll even had a bolder idea, "Mika's last counter position, I feel like I can swing in the middle and upper, let Mika take Jace to the line Dragon King, and mouse will choose a suitable hero to line Kenan!" ”

PDD was deeply impressed by Mika's Jesse Lucian in the spring game, "This is really good, it not only relieves the pressure on the mouse's lane, but also understands the strength of MIKA's AD midlaner!" ”

Jace swayed in the middle and upper, and EDG training matches were tried and counted as tactical reserves, so Mouse also asked on the voice channel, "Mika, do you take Jace?" It feels like you can swing! ”

But Summergate wasn't prepared to do that.

"If Jace swings to me in this game, I must use the mage hero to make up for the magic damage in the upper order, and the current version is only one Rambo, and Rambo is even more difficult to fight against Kenan than Jace, so Jace will give it to you, my lane is not difficult enough to use Jace!"

The swing just makes it easier for her to align with the line and transfers the pressure to the road! How could she accept such a thing!

"Then Mika, what kind of hero do you want?" Abu asked, "Snake Girl, Vampire, Victor or Little Fishman?" ”

He focused on the Little Fishman, because the Mika Spring Tournament is to use the Little Fishman to counter the Dragon King.

Summera herself has a more brilliant idea.

Rox thinks Dragon King counters Ryze, but is it really counter? In fact, there is no restraint between the two hero mechanics, and the only advantage of the dragon king is that he wanders more often, and Ryze may even have the advantage in team fights.

On the other hand, if you only talk about the lane, Mixia can list a bunch of heroes who are more restrained than Ruiz against the Dragon King, but those heroes will only win if they win, in contrast, if Ruiz defeats Kuro's Dragon King, not only will there be a chance to destroy the Kuto mentality, but also destroy all the arrangements of Rox in the BP phase.

"Choose Ryze for me!" She makes a decision.

Then the hero locks.

For a while, the audience and the commentary were all dumbfounded.

The doll smiled, "The two teams of bps pulled back and forth, and it turned out that Mika chose Ruiz." ”

"Kuro put Ruiz don't rob the Dragon King, he must have calculated that Mika chose Ruiz, he should have the confidence to line Mika's Ruiz, Mika's hand is very iron, she is a hero counter cognition different from Kuro! I just don't know who is restraining whom......"

PDD smiled, "This kind of thing, you will know after the game!" ”

……

The lineups of both sides are locked.

Blue Side Rox, Top Lane Kenan, Jungler Olaf, Mid Lane Dragon King, ADC Policewoman and Support Karma.

Red side EDG, top laner Jace, jungler blind monk, mid laner Ruiz, adc ember and support Zyra.
