Chapter 238: Needle Point, Mai Mang!

The second day of the second round of the MSI group stage.

KZ's players and coaches arrived at the stadium early.

Judging by their expressions, they seem to be in a good mood.

EDG people also arrived at the venue early today, and the two sides met at the entrance of the venue.

Although they didn't say hello to each other, eye contact was indispensable.

"Donghe, looking at their listlessness, I feel that today's state is not good."

After the teams on both sides missed, Little Peanut said with a smile.

"It's a little, it looks like I didn't sleep well, it can't be that I was too stressed last night so I couldn't rest well, right? A winning streak is actually like this. ”

Khan said thoughtfully.

They started their winning streak in this year's LCK Spring Split.

And as the number of consecutive wins increases, the psychological pressure to continue the winning streak will also increase.

Driven by this pressure, it is inevitable that you will become timid when you get to the game, and when you encounter opportunities that you can seize before, you will lose some advantages because of hesitation.

"Donghe is really experienced, but I am indeed confident that I can take them down against EDG this time, and our version understanding is completely different from the last time."

BDD also said with a smile.

Only Pray and Gorilla were silent.

Most of the EDG players looked a little depressed.

However, Li Luo is an exception.

The eyes of the two sides met briefly before, and Pray could see that Li Luo's eyes were as calm as a pool.

"This guy ......"

Pray took a deep breath before forcing a smile, "We're going to try our way down." ”

"It's good to put our two-person road under pressure, there's no problem, don't worry."

Gorilla patted her partner on the shoulder and comforted her.

The relationship between the two of them has been recent on weekdays, and the change in Pray's expression has been noticed by Gorella, who knows his partner too well.

……

The other side.

Inside the aisle.

"Brother Li, let's not let Auntie research new dishes, okay?"

Li Luo was silent all the way and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Let's change my aunt."

Xiao Tian also said faintly.

Just now, while chatting in the car, they inadvertently swiped the base's Weibo.

Above is a set of pictures.

The copy is simple: "Don't forget to eat well, even if you are thousands of miles away." ”

The copywriting is paired with a new dish that Aunt Cooking Rice has recently researched.

Most of them look pretty good.

The problem is that the picture in the center is a bit too frightening.

A plate of soup made of something I don't know what it is, with a few fish heads floating on it, like a modified version of European cuisine looking up at the stars.

Seeing this dish, the hearts of the EDG players instantly became heavy.

"The boss said, if you win the championship, you will change, and you can change the chef of the five-star hotel."

Li Zhe said with a smile.

Looking at Li Luo's deflated appearance, Li Zhe didn't mention how happy he was.

I was tortured enough by Li Luo last year, and I almost didn't get depressed directly, but this year I finally have a chance to get back on the field!

……

Today's KZ team is still in full form.

For them, today is a very important day.

Because they are going to face two enemies at the same time today.

Lightning Wolf and EDG.

This time, they didn't give the lightning wolf too many chances when they faced it.

Tactically, they borrowed the same tactics that EDG executed against the Lightning Wolves, starting with their most consistent bottom lane duo.

In fact, many teams suffer when facing a team of the style of Lightning Wolf only because they chose the wrong direction from the beginning.

The advantage of the lightning wolf is that it dares to fight, and the disadvantage is that it is unstable.

Where is the instability?

Naturally, it's Kaminakano.

Since Uenakano is unstable, it seems to be a matter of course to start a knife from Uenakano.

After all, "instability" represents "a breakthrough." ”

A relatively stable bottom lane usually rarely gives opponents a chance to break through.

However, after the battle between EDG and Lightning Wolf, not only the KZ team, but other teams also discovered that "stability" does not seem to mean that it cannot be broken.

On the contrary, it is precisely because the relatively stable lower road on weekdays has not been targeted much, which also leads to the snake snake and betty will show flaws because of laxity, coupled with betty's strong output when playing in the group, his ability to fight is his shortcoming.

Therefore, KZ decisively chose to move from the bottom road.

Pray is a very fierce adc in the LCK, and his bottom lane duo in the S6 season was the best BO5 in the history of the S game, and they played a certain matchup advantage in the 2v2 against the bang and wolf.

Now that Pray's ferocity has been liberated again, Betty's laning weakness has been infinitely magnified.

And with the breakthrough of the lower lane, FW's already unstable Kaminakano showed himself instead.

It is normal for this butterfly effect to appear in League of Legends, teammates are anxious, and they are naturally in a hurry, teammates send it, in fact, intellectually I don't want to send it, but my hands and brains inexplicably don't listen to the call, and I sent a wave in order to save my teammates.

Needless to say, FW's bottoms were all seen through by KZ.

Revealing their weaknesses, they were brutally killed by KZ, and they even blocked FW at the door of the spring to show off their icons.

By the time the match lasted less than 27 minutes was over, the morale of the KZ players had fully recovered to the state they were in before the start of the MSI.

Khan, who was interviewed after the game, said in front of the camera that they not only want to win EDG in the next game, but also tell EDG on the stage of the finals that the glory of the LCK is back!

This hearty victory, coupled with the arrogant declaration after the game, made netizens in South Korea trumpet!

"Any top team needs a grinding process and it's clear that KZ has grown after the first round of the group stage!"

"KZ's second round performance is not the same team as their poor performance in the first round, they have really matured and I have enough confidence in them now!"

"Come on KZ, let's kill EDG once today and wash away the shame of the first round of the group stage!"

"Our Korean nation is the strongest, NO.1!"

……

In the domestic Tieba forum, someone moved and translated these posts on the Korean forum.

It's just that the response to these posts hasn't been great.

Because just after the match between KZ and Lightning Wolf, EDG and Vietnam's EVS team also collided.

The first two matches of the second round of the group stage of the EVS were all lost.

Judging by their record, qualifying seems unlikely.

Therefore, EVS completely let go of their psychological baggage and can play whatever heroes they want!

Like the Dragon King of the middle laner, Yasuo of the top laner, and the Bomberman pulled out by the ADC on the lower lane.

How strange the lineup is.

In this game, they relied on the Bomberman's mid-to-late stage advancement ability and Yasuo's defensive ability to defend the wind wall, and they actually persevered until nearly thirty minutes before being taken away by EDG in waves.

The 30-minute win over the wild card team, and several waves of EDG's advancement in the course of the game, were somewhat hindered, which also gave the audience a feeling that the rhythm was not smooth.

In the face of these provocative posts by South Korea, domestic fans suddenly became a little uncertain.

It stands to reason that they should trust EDG unconditionally.

After all, since the beginning of this year, EDG has not let them down.

But EDG is a team that has been built since S4 and has been playing until now.

There is a saying that has been circulating in the fandom of the EDG team.

EDG team...... It never disappoints when it comes to disappointing.

Now that EDG's form in the second round of the group stage is getting worse, what should you do if you are overconfident in the face of provocative responses on the Internet at this time?

EDG's fans are mostly low-key.

Everyone is scared.

Therefore, many people have decided to wait and see how EDG will perform in the second round of the group stage against KZ.

……

The MSI tournament official seems to have received email complaints from domestic players, after all, some viewers can fish with rich experience when they go to work, and most viewers are easy to be caught when they touch fish.

For these viewers, they prefer to watch a live broadcast and relax after the day's work.

Rather than just watching a replay with results.

Though...... There is a risk that the live broadcast will cause them to have brain congestion.

But if you really have cerebral congestion, maybe you will be angry and insomnia, and tomorrow you will be able to find an excuse to take a leave of absence for a bad day.

Therefore, MSI's event officials complained about the problem of working hours, and at the same time adjusted the important events to the afternoon, that is, around 9 p.m. BJ time.

In anticipation, the showdown between EDG and KZ kicked off!

Today's narrators are Guan Zeyuan, Sun Yalong, and Sika.

After the three commentators said hello as usual, Sika looked at Guan Zeyuan with a smile: "Come to Brother Guan, analyze it, who are you optimistic about in today's game?" ”

Looking at the latter's narrow smile, Guan Zeyuan's face did not change.

He has always been very sympathetic to his understanding of the game, following the principle of saying whatever you have.

Therefore, after a short period of silence, he said: "Although I don't want to admit it, KZ's state is indeed much better than the first round of the group stage, if EDG doesn't prepare any special tactics or fully adapt to the current version of the very popular scorpion system, then I feel that KZ may have a better chance of winning." ”

"64, 64 probably."

Guan Zeyuan said his conclusion.

"Conservative, huh?"

Sun Yalong subconsciously blurted out, and only after finishing speaking did he feel that something was wrong, and after coughing dryly, he said: "Actually, I'm also more worried about the state of the EDG team now, you can see their expressions after they came on stage, they are all more dignified, which shows that the pressure they are under is actually quite large." ”

"That's right, and did you find out, it's not only Coach Abu who took the stage today, but even Coach Zhu Kai also came to the stage, if I remember correctly, he should be mainly responsible for the psychological counseling of the players."

The three commentators said everything you said and I said.

EDG Battle Bench.

Zhu Kai is indeed comforting the EDG people.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, boys, I'll order takeout for you later, get it for you, and deliver it to you, okay?"

"Are we sure we won't starve to death?"

Xiaotian's words made Zhu Kai's breath stagnate.

"Uh, I didn't say it, this is what Yang Fan said."

Xiaotian smiled.

Li Luo listened to the relaxed tone of his teammates, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although the food at the base is indeed unpalatable, everyone is only ridiculing the food at most, and it will not put much pressure on them.

The real pressure is still today's showdown.

According to the pre-match tactical arrangement, EDG will complete the paving of the last link for the subsequent knockout round.

The risk of paving the road in this way is still relatively large, and there is a certain possibility of failure.

But the key point covered by this tactic is that whether they succeed or fail, KZ's players and even coaches are likely to play tricks.

And as long as they are on the set, when it comes to the knockout round BO5, even if they realize it, I am afraid it will be difficult to adjust in such a short time.

"It's time to start playing."

At this moment, the referee behind the EDG crowd reminded.

KZ had a side picker in the first round, and now the side picks are in the hands of EDG.

Abu's choice is the blue side.

On the commentary seat.

Guan Zeyuan, who got the director's prompt, lit up: "The BP of both sides here has begun!" The blue side EDG team, the red side KZ team! ”

"The top three bans of the EDG team...... Well, they just pressed the scorpion, and the two hands that followed were given to the rock sparrow and the vampire respectively! ”

"The three-handed ban on the KZ team's side is more targeted, and they pressed Kaisha, Captain and Lo."

With the end of the banning on both sides, the first floor of the EDG team chose Karma in seconds.

"Karma! This hero has been released, so EDG has a chance to get a strong combination of Karma and Ezreal's version. ”

Guan Zeyuan's voice did not fall, but the two heroes quickly finalized by the KZ team made him speechless in an instant.

Ezreal ...... Male guns? Are they still planning to pick a poke stream lineup? ”

Guan Zeyuan was a little puzzled, KZ's two-handed choice was the same as the two-handed hero they faced EDG last time.

Do they think EDG was in good shape last time, but this time it's not good, and they don't think it's a problem with the lineup, and they want to do it again?

Guan Zeyuan thought about it, it didn't seem right.

No matter what you choose on the third floor of Team KZ, there will be at least one path of heroes who will be pressed by EDG in the second round of bp.

Not to mention whether EDG is afraid of them choosing a poke stream lineup.

Even if he is really jealous, KZ does not want to get a complete set of poke system.

It's the EDG team's turn to choose.

EDG chose the troll on the second floor, and then followed by a rather surprising hero on the third floor.

Wheel Mom.

"on the wheels...... This hero is still relatively rare, Rekkles' exclusive hero, and so far Brother Luo has never used this hero in the professional arena...... If it's a wheel mother, don't say it, the EDG team is equivalent to forming a two-mother system, and the mobility is very good. ”

Sun Yalong said thoughtfully: "And against a hero like Ezreal, the strength of the wheel mother's alignment is indeed enough, and EDG can even swing a little to shake the wheel mother to the middle lane." ”

"After all, many teams prefer to use the wheel mom to hit the current version."

The commentators were talking, and the players on KZ's match bench were also talking.

Previously, EDG's tactical system was very fixed.

Although they have a lot of systems to choose from, at least there will be no such extremely unpopular heroes.

This wheel mom...... It brought them a little unease.

"Take Tamu, our tactics won't change for the time being."

Gorilla hesitated.

"In that case, we'll be ruined on the road."

Pray was a little helpless.

He wanted to win though.

But I don't want to go to jail.

Ezreal and Tamu meet Wheels Mom and Karma, and it is not difficult to think of a picture to understand in the game of Pray.

That is, after Wheels and Karma pushed the line under the defense tower, the two began to bomb indiscriminately, frantically depleting.

Some heroes are very buggy.

Karma, for example, doesn't require much blue for its skills.

The CD is short again.

Obviously, from the perspective of skill characteristics, it is a soft support.

However, it managed to catapult itself to the rank of Fasuke with its damage and skill CD.

This thing plays well, and it's even worse than the consumption of Zeroth.

Pick a tam, what is it if you don't go to jail?

"Our linkage in this game will be stronger, I will definitely get an advantage on the road, and I will cooperate with the jungler to catch after playing the TP difference, they are a two-man road hero who can't control the line, and if you catch it once, you have to die once."

Khan is serious and confident.

Even Pray was infected by his confident tone and nodded subconsciously.

KZ, finalized the first three hands.

The BPs of both sides followed suit and entered the second round.

Team KZ's side actually intended to let EDG take their favorite Orn Troll combo in the first round of bp.

Because they wanted a way to suppress the pair.

However, since EDG is not selected, there is no reason for them not to ban in the second round, after all, this combination will indeed cause them a lot of trouble when it develops to play in the late stage.

Therefore, in the second round of bans, they decisively pressed Orn, and also pressed a hand of Kenan.

In the second round of the EDG team, the bans killed BDD's Tsar and Khan's Jace, respectively.

As Sun Yalong said, although EDG is not afraid of KZ taking the poke flow system, but since KZ has taken out Tamu, it is another matter.

Tamu's support is undoubtedly a huge nemesis for the opening type of lineup.

The scariest thing about professional powerhouses is that they can often change the entire roster with just one hero!

Pressing Jace and releasing Zoe can be regarded as a mine planted by EDG for KZ.

Obviously, KZ saw this trap, so in the selection on the fourth floor, they did not go to the top order, but finalized the top order first.

Camille!

He is also one of Khan's unique heroes.

From the perspective of heroic restraint, Kenji may be a little bit more Kant Camille to some extent.

But don't forget, the four sisters are four monsters themselves, and who would think that they can stabilize the other sisters of Kante?

If Jin Gong is really chosen, it will undoubtedly be an online operation with the opponent.

This is by no means the number of roads that Jin Gong is good at.

"KZ has chosen Camille! This is supposed to be a response to EDG's favorite troll jungler at this MSI, the troll jungler pillar is very annoying, but if the opponent is Camille, this pillar may sometimes be counterproductive and become a medium for Camille to escape. ”

Sun Yalong thought thoughtfully: "It seems that KZ has really been seriously thinking about how to play EDG these days, and now it depends on how EDG should choose." ”

In full view, EDG took the lead in finalizing Ruiz on the fourth floor.

However, the hero chosen on the fifth floor of EDG made Khan on the KZ battle bench frown.

"Nightmare...... Locked! ”

The audience was in an uproar.

This...... Also let EDG shake it?

"Nightmares...... Xiao Tian used this hero when he played the IG team in the spring game, if I'm not mistaken, the task of Xiao Tian's nightmare at that time was more inclined to assist Brother Luo's ad entry, but this Brother Luo played with a wheel mother! ”

Guan Zeyuan's memory is indeed very strong.

It's been so long, and he still remembers what Li Luo was playing.

It's just because Li Luo played Kai'Sa as an assassin at the beginning, which refreshed the cognition of many players.

"But EDG's swing...... But I shook KZ in.,Eh,To be honest,I remember that EDG used to play a system called a teleportation castle by netizens, right? I have the impression that it is a wonderful operational linkage that uses Tam's driving and Ruiz's driving. ”

"Although this EDG does not have a tam, this mobility ...... To be honest, it's so strong, and the ability to punch the face is also very good. ”

Sika looked at the screen and thought for a while and said: "And the trolls don't actually suffer any losses in the face of Kamil, these two people play on the right line, if Camille takes the lead and runs away after a set, the trolls can completely hand over the pillar to leave Camille behind, and the combat ability against Camille in the early stage is not as good as the trolls." ”

"Coupled with EDG's ability to rush into battle, I feel that EDG is also prepared!"

Just when the three commentators were discussing, the fifth floor of KZ's finale was finally locked.

If the hero of Nightmare can only be regarded as an underdog on MSI.

Then the hero that KZ took out on the fifth floor can undoubtedly be called rare.

"Knowledge comes from decomposition!"

A hoarse voice rang out.

BDD rubbed his shoulder.

Although the EDG team showed something that surprised them in their BP with them.

But their lineup has been preparing for a long time.

In this version, the hero pool of the midlaner is very crucial.

A hero who can be integrated into the system can completely affect the BP of BO5.

This time, it is a kind of run-in and test of KZ for this system.

Camille, Big-Eyed Monster.

This is the second key core of this system!

They are confident that they will be able to play a game that EDG will be afraid of.

"Big-eyed monster, ho, BDD, this hero pool...... I feel that the smell of gunpowder of the two teams is coming up, this game is interesting and interesting! ”

Sun Yalong said with great interest.

Guan Zeyuan also nodded thoughtfully: "Judging from the BP, both sides seem to have taken out the things they have prepared for a long time. ”

"The lineup has been finalized! The blue side EDG team, the troll in the top laner, the nightmare in the jungler, the mid laner Ruiz, and the bottom lane duo are Wheel Mom and Karma respectively! ”

"The KZ team on the red side, Camille in the top laner, the Jungler Gun, the Void Eye Vikz in the mid laner, and the bottom lane duo are Ezreal and Tamu respectively."

"Both players are ready, let's look forward to the clash between EDG and KZ in the second round of the group stage!"

------Off topic------

I really haven't gone out for a long time, as soon as I went out, I opened my eyes, I arrived at the station at eight o'clock last night, and the person Wuyang Wuyang's, out of the station nucleic acid, it will take three days and two stabs, and the hotel has stepped on thunder......
