Chapter 386: The Difference Between SSG and ROX
Seven days before the semi-finals, news of EDG's victory over Rox quickly spread around the world.
Although Mixia didn't go to watch the news of the island country out of shame, but because of her sister Rissa's mouthy, she still knew that on TV Tokyo that day [LPL Steppenwolf defeated LCK Fierce Tiger!] and [Tokyo E-sports Diao Chan has reached the semifinals! ] of the news.
In contrast, titles such as "LPL's Last Hope", "Breaking Team History", "A String of Three First Steps", and "Knocking Out LCK No. 1 Seed" are simply plain.
LPL's coverage is objective and calm, but the audience is much larger than that of the island country, and the enthusiasm of the audience is far better than that of those in Tokyo who know about MIKA but have no understanding of esports.
Although a small number of viewers remained calm, thinking that MIKA's "3-0 three-star" was a child's joke and not taking it seriously, they also felt that EDG broke through the quarterfinals for the first time and reached the finals.
But the LPL audience, who has been lit the flame of hope, has greatly increased their confidence in EDG!
[Have you broken your promise in the Sakura Girl interview? ] Say 3 to 0 is 3 to 0! 】
[LCK No. 1 seed nine-fold level, what's the problem with playing No. 3 seed 3-0! ] 】
[I won't really let EDG kill the Korean team three times to win the championship! ] LCK fans are not allowed to vomit blood on the spot?! 】
[Could it be that this year is the most promising year!] 】
[EDG kill me!] 】
……
Not only off the court, but even the EDG coaches and players are also full of unprecedented desire to win for this historic breakthrough.
After all, it's only two steps away, and I haven't been so close to the Summoner's Cup last year or the year before that, as if I can hold it with more effort!
It's just that no matter how high the fighting spirit is, at this time, EDG can only make an appointment with the team in the training match in the upper half of the h2k, and playing with this kind of team is equivalent to practicing in vain.
As a result, training matches are still scarce, and the team is still the same as when preparing for Rox, focusing on video and tactics.
But soon the coaching staff's preparations were in a difficult situation!
The SSG of the third seed is more difficult to target than the ROX of the first seed!
The two teams have very different styles.
The ROX team stands out in particular in the area, and the top laner SMEB ranking is the number one official Riot player ranking.
At the same time, although Peanut, the jungler in the team, is a newcomer, his performance in the World Championship has surpassed that of the factory director Benji and other players, and he is already the best jungler in this World Championship.
On the other hand, the ROX defect position is particularly low-lying, the middle lane is Kuro mixed, and the ADC player Pray relies heavily on cold ice, which is also the breakthrough found by EDG in the quarterfinals.
SSG is the same as Mika's bust, and the whole body is mediocre, and there is no protruding part or any breakthrough!
It's the most traditional LCK team, relying on operations and team execution to win, and the style of the previous quarterfinals against wild card ANX has been dragged to an average of 35 minutes.
What's even more troublesome is that the last round of SSG battles was against a wild card team, and the position was used on the unique heroes of e-sports Scarlett Likkrit, and the heroes who were banned were all Fire Man and Bard, and finally won 3-0, and the hole card was not out.
In the end, I can only summon the contestants to analyze together.
In the EDG conference room, Abu, who stayed up all night, said, "Ruler's hero pool is very deep, four rounds of Ash, two rounds of Ezreal, and one game each of Cold Ice and Xavier Policewoman...... However, the auxiliary corejj has not shown a female gun so far, and I heard that he has been practicing in the ranking recently, but I don't know if he will ...... Mika: What do you have to say? ”
Seeing Sakura raise her hand, Abu was very happy to let her speak.
After all, the idea of banning cold ice against ROX was what she thought, and it is estimated that this semi-final will have to rely on her!
"Coach, let's talk about it based on corejj being able to play with female guns." Mixia stood up and replied, "Team LCK has been playing training matches with each other, and the three stars of the ROX Club will definitely do too!" ”
"Makes sense!" Abu hurriedly nodded in the affirmative.
The director then put forward his idea, "Then it will be difficult to make a breakthrough on the next road, you say, is there a possibility, Master An will not play blind monk and leopard girl, I don't think he has used it until now." ”
He treats Ann as another ego in the World Championship!
Without waiting for Meixia to refute, Abu made an analysis first.
"The blind monk can give it to An Bixin to try, and the leopard girl will definitely not be able to do it if she is forced to do it......"
Neither the bottom lane nor the jungler can be targeted on BP, so only the upper mid remains.
No, it's okay to mix it up by default.
All that remains is the mid laner position.
Abu actually has his own analysis of the Samsung midlaner, "Actually, I noticed one thing, from the group stage to the knockout round, Crown has only used Victor, Ruiz and Snake Girl, Dragon King and Sindra have never touched, and the quarterfinals against ANX are all three Sindra, I tend to think that Dragon King and Sindra will not be able to, so we can start from here when BP." ”
Mixia is sure that LCK production players like Crown may not be able to play Sindra, but they can definitely choose Dragon King!
But she doesn't argue here.
She found that Abu and the coaching staff had entered a blind spot.
Because I have lost to the Korean team too many times before, plus EDG's previous two BO5 victories over the LCK team, they all relied on Sakura Girl's surprise victory.
Therefore, it has caused the inertia of thinking, which leads to the mentality of a challenger every time everyone faces the LCK team, trying to win by surprise.
But this time against Samsung, the situation is completely different from the battle against Rox!
At that time, the mouse was weaker than SMEB, the factory director was weaker than Peanut, and the duo was not as good as the two elders of Xuan Ming who got the Ice Female Gun.
Except for the mid-laner Meixia, the other three roads are lagging behind in all directions.
But the battle against Samsung is different, this time the opponent relies on operation and cooperation, so the strength of the players is very average, on the other hand, we have outstanding players!
Summertime herself and the duo are superior to each other in terms of hero pool and lane strength, such as Ruiz, Varus, Time, Female Gun, and Ash, which are the hole cards that were taken out in the quarterfinals, are all places that Samsung needs to consider next to deal with.
In other words, we are higher than our opponents.
Therefore, it should be Rox's turn to find a way to limit our hero pool, instead of us worrying about how to break through the opponent's hero pool!
While thinking of this, Meixia understood - directly told Abu that Crown would definitely play the Dragon King, but it would increase the morale of others!
So what should be done is to be submissive.
She immediately raised her hand.
Abu asked, "What does Mika think is wrong?" ”
Summertime added, "It's not just the Sindra Dragons, I actually watched the video and thought that Crown's selected Ruiz, Snake Girl, and Clockwork in the group stage were all very ordinary. ”
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
It's crazy.
Although I know that Mika has always been such a frank character, it still shocks everyone to hear that several heroes who say the three-star mid-laner signature are not as good as her.
Crown seemed to her as if she was worthless.
Abu came to his senses, "In other words, not only the Dragon King, but also Ryze's priorities don't need to be mentioned?" It's more risky than the quarterfinals against Kuro......"
Mixia nodded calmly.
The only advantage that Samsung has over Rox is the midlaner, but the difference between the middle lane and the difference in front of her is about zero.
No, it should be said that without her teammates dragging her feet, she can be more relaxed!
