Chapter 245: Mr. Ming, Long Time No See
The draw ceremony is over.
The contestants of the four teams on the stage returned to the backstage one after another.
It's just that some footage was inevitably captured by netizens, so it spread quickly on Twitter on the Internet, forums in South Korea, crooked black and white forums, and even post bars in the mainland.
One of the more classic is the expression of Pray.
When Li Luo announced that EDG's chosen semi-final opponent was KZ, Pray's expression was extremely complicated, his face was already relatively round, so a little richer expression would make the flesh on his face fold.
On the stage illuminated by the spotlight, his constipated expression was too conspicuous.
Pray's expression is not the most classic.
A true classic is the FNC staff.
When Li Luo made the announcement, the five FNC members all smiled, and their top laner bwipo couldn't even hold back two applause.
Caps also high-fived Rekkles standing beside him, and jungler broxah was the funniest of all, leaning forward and trying to get a look at the KZ crowd with a presumptuous look on his team's face.
Only Hai Lisan looked more normal, but if you kept staring at him, you would notice that the shoulders of this thing were shaking.
FNC couldn't be happier.
Of course, they know that EDG has the biggest grudge with them at this MSI event.
If you want to settle accounts, I'm afraid you have to look for them first.
But when they thought that KZ was in good shape yesterday and then behaved a little fluttering in the interview, they were relieved.
The owner of FNC even posted an insinuating picture on Twitter, which was what Khan looked like when he released cruel words in an interview before, but it was animated in a European and American style.
The level of animation is quite high, but anyone who has seen Khan's face can find Khan's shadow from this comic picture at a glance.
The picture is followed by a string of English: "Some people are smiling and laughing, and they may be going home." ”
The FNC contestants below replied with prayerful expressions, and at the same time, a few people came out.
@huni。
@reiongver。
@Febiven。
@yellowstar。
@Rekkles。
Rekkles followed up with an innocent look below.
When this scene was screenshotted by domestic netizens and posted to the post bar, the bar friends in the bar laughed.
"Good guy, the five enemies all came out back then, but there seems to be something strange mixed in here."
"Rekkles has been playing since 15 years? Then again, why can't Deft beat him? ”
"Maybe Mr. Dai already had a dream of becoming a pilot that year, so he chose to sit on the lamp in advance and enjoy it."
"This makes me very entangled, on the one hand, I want the provincial team to win, and on the other hand, I think it will be more comfortable for FNC to enter the finals and abuse EDG."
"I don't think about anything else, I just hope EDG can step up its efforts and make KZ 5-0 is not too much, right?"
"No matter how many it is, as long as they can smash KZ, I won't spray them even if they pull it again in this year's Worlds!"
"Now is destined to be the era of LPL!"
During the short two-day offseason, the discussion among netizens never stopped.
And for fans of the EDG team, the night before the semi-finals was definitely the most memorable night for them.
EDG announced the starting line-up for the semi-finals.
This big list has an ID that they are particularly familiar with.
Collier Spicy Dance.
No 7.
You must know that in this year's spring game, EDG in order to train troops, Xiaotian accounted for at least seventy percent of the number of appearances.
And Ming Kai only accounted for 30% of the play.
And since the LPL spring playoffs, Ming Kai has disappeared and never played again.
At first, some people were asking why Ming Kai didn't go.
However, as EDG's results become more and more stable, there are fewer and fewer EDG fans who want Ming Kai to play.
Ming Kai's personal fans jumped out to question in this situation, and it was easy to be attacked by other team fans.
And most of the players who still like Mingkai deeply in this year are over twenty-five years old, and some have given up the league and started to match life.
It's hard enough on weekdays, so they don't have the energy to go to work for a day and then go online with young people on the Internet.
Fans haven't forgotten about Mingkai.
It's just that they are gradually getting used to the fact that EDG's starting jungler is Xiaotian.
In this world, surprises often come when you don't expect them.
When seeing EDG's starting list, there are quite a few fans who can't even believe their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, whether it was the hot spot on Weibo or the hot discussion on the post bar, they quickly turned to Ming Kai.
"The spicy man is back!"
", don't play in the group stage, do you really think Ming Kai is a killer feature?"
"Why do I think it's a bit disgusting that the club did this, isn't this the intention to let my factory take the blame?"
"In any case, the factory director's game can be regarded as one less game, no matter how he plays, I support him."
"That's true, but this game is for the factory manager...... It's not that simple. ”
During the discussion, some people were happy and some were worried.
For players who often watch the game and are more familiar with Ming Kai, Ming Kai's personal turning point seems to be on the foot of S6.
4396。
The origin of that kick was the match between EDG and ROX.
And now there are three people in KZ who are all original members of ROX.
These three people are the main people who made Ming Kai fall into the dust in the first place.
One is the little peanut who said before the game that he was a fan of Mingkai.
One was the target of Ming Kai's extremely rough kick.
The more sensitive people may understand.
Mingkai came on at this point in time, and it was definitely not just about playing a starting role according to the club's schedule.
Mingkai wants revenge.
But he's old.
He...... Is it still workable?
As everyone knows, just when the fans were talking, in KZ's temporary base, the five players who had been training seriously all day were like mourners.
They used these two days to change their original training plan and tactics, and chose to train according to the new tactics.
KZ's new tactic is the same as they discussed before, which is to release Jin Gong's carry type heroes, and then frantically target the top laner in the early stage while disrupting Xiaotian's rhythm.
In this way, the development of Jingong in the early stage will be relatively poor, and the development of your own top laner will be very good if you also choose the carry type hero.
Khan is absolutely confident that he is ahead of the curve in his own development.
As long as Xiaotian's rhythm is affected in the early stage, then EDG can only rely on the bottom lane duo carry, and then they will speed up the whole game and not give Jin Gong a chance to develop steadily.
To put it bluntly, they didn't think about crushing Jin Gong to death, because they also knew that it would be very difficult.
Therefore, they only need to curb the development of Jingong in the early stage, which many teams have been able to do before, but they can't contain Xiaotian's rhythm.
The factor of the version, combined with the factor of Xiaotian's own state, gave KZ this opportunity.
Therefore, they focused on arranging a series of training plans for Ueno, and strictly implemented them in the past two days.
And then now you TM tell me that your starter is Ming Kai?
"!"
Sin, who learned the news, directly exploded a sentence of one of the few Chinese he learned when playing in the LPL.
He was furious.
In the past two days, the players have been training day and night, and the training volume of the players is about 18 hours a day.
It was hard to practice and the results were achieved, and now with the release of EDG's starting list, it instantly came to naught.
But that's what happens to the venue, teams only need to submit their roster 24 hours before the start of the tournament.
This means that they only have more than a dozen hours left to train, in addition to having to get enough sleep.
Temporary development of other tactics?
It's hard, and even unrealistic.
Switching back to the previous tactics?
The question is...... They haven't met Ming Kai at all this season, and Ming Kai didn't play any too prominent style in the EDG Spring Season, and it seems to be a little ordinary.
However, it was this ordinariness that made them panic.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
Sin forced himself to calm down after a brief period of boredom.
He clearly knew that the only thing they could rely on in the future was the impressions of Little Peanut, Pray, and Gorella on Mingkai's past games to formulate temporary targeted tactics.
Looking at the sad Sin, Xiao Peanut hesitated for a moment and said: "Ming Kai's advantages and disadvantages are more obvious, I am not afraid of him, it is the tactics we formulated...... I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of a hassle ”
"No matter how much his strength has regressed, but his experience and overall view have always been there, and against such a player, it is unlikely that he will lose a lot in the early wild area through the layout of level 1."
"Ming Kai likes development very much, controlling resources and vision, I can suppress him at this point, but as far as I know, Ming Kai can play male guns, so we have to grab this hero when we are BP."
Listening to Little Peanut's analysis, Sin's brain hurt a little.
The male gun thing was like a trap to their KZ.
Each time they were selected, the pace slowed down.
After all, the male gun is not a hero who plays the rhythm of the early stage, and the front is inevitably based on development.
According to KZ's newly formulated tactics, they originally wanted Xiao Peanut to brush back from a young age, regain his blind monk, regain his confidence, play the early rhythm, and suppress Xiao Tian in rhythm, so as to quickly expand the advantage of his teammates.
But listening to Little Peanut's analysis, won't you just go back?
The problem is that there is nothing wrong with the analysis of the little peanut.
It's hard to play Ming Kai with a fast-paced attack in the early stage.
This is something that mlxg in the LPL league has verified for them many times.
The style of the player Xiangguo is there, and he dares to say that he ranks second in the early stage with rhythm ability, and no one dares to say first.
But in the historical confrontation between the two, the incense pot was treated to death in most cases.
It doesn't work to use the fast-paced gank in the early stage to play Ming Kai.
You have to use heroes with strong suppressive power in the wild area to suppress Ming Kai's development, as long as Ming Kai is suppressed and developed, or robbed of a few sets of F6, he may be delirious and not very good at playing this game.
This is the understanding of Little Peanut.
Sin took a deep breath and said after calming down for a long time, "Do you have the confidence to defeat him in the wild?" ”
"Of course it's fine."
Little Peanut looked confident: "I'm his fan, and if the fan buff is there, he will never be able to turn over!" ”
