Chapter 497: Demon Hunter
From the end of the group stage to the start of the knockout round, none of the four teams participating in the LPL have published any information and players have posted any information on the Internet.
They are like the world has evaporated, allowing the Korean media and domestic eunuchs to spread the rhythm all over the world.
Everyone has been in the profession for so long, so they really know a lot about public opinion.
Negative public opinion only comes when you lose a game.
And as long as you can win, all negative public opinion will quickly disappear in a very short time.
Although the LPL region knockout round will first face the combined army of the LMS and VCS divisions, in this BO5, the LPL division, which has not gone through any arrangement, has easily won with a score of 3-0, and it is also a short time to block the mouth of the trolls.
And in this matchup, the only one in the LPL division who didn't shoot was the Thorn Bird team.
To be precise, playing LMS and VCS does not require the backbone of the LPL to shoot.
Three games, except for JD.com, which was a little anxious because of the style of play.
The other two games were indiscriminate, with the LPL teams averaging more than 20 heads per game seemingly venting their anger squeezing out of the group stage.
However, such an imposing posture is more like an incompetent rage in the eyes of the Korean media, and they even deliberately used the shortest time to shoot a promotional video for the continental competition exclusive to the LCK division.
Compared with the implicit domestic, South Korea doesn't care about any embarrassing or not embarrassing issues.
After a scene of incomparable scenes, the four Korean teams finally converged, and when the four Korean teams stood still, the sky seemed to become dark, and a demon head made of special effects appeared above, and Korea seemed to intend to use this kind of shot to show a kind of "return of the demon king" momentum.
In this regard, the LPL is still as flat as water, and there is no response.
On the day of the final.
It was raining in Seoul.
But the rain couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the players.
In order to avoid the cleanliness of the venue, the organizers also specially arranged a shoe cover machine in front of the door, so that every spectator who entered the venue could wear shoe covers.
It's also a shame that the capacity of the venue is not large, otherwise the time it takes to arrange so many people is really scary.
Several teams from the LPL division came to the backstage lounge early.
Today's order has already been decided by the players and coaches.
And this order is not difficult to guess on the Korean side.
Today's LPL is to gamble and fight with open cards.
The first one directly puts the Thorn Bird on the stage, as long as the Thorn Bird can win, then for the remaining three teams in the LPL, the pressure will be much less.
After all, according to the rules of the continental competition, if the two sides draw 2-2, then another team can be negotiated to play the final game.
LPL, always believe in the thorn bird.
In this case, let the thorn bird go first, as long as one of the other three teams can gnaw the LCK, then the champion of this continental competition will most likely be LPL!
This is a gambling behavior, but it is also the only way for LPL to win.
Several teams looked heavy and watched the backs of the thorn birds step onto the stage.
At the finals, Emperor Roaring Xiao has already started his hosting style.
After a meal of chirping, the performance of the continental finals began.
Looking at the stinky and long performance on major domestic live broadcast platforms, players began to get impatient one after another.
However, while the performance continued, in the backstage lounge, the LCK division was also undergoing the final formation.
"They're most likely thorn birds, are we really going to let Griffin fight? Griffin can be ranked in the top two of our four teams, I think it is better to let KZ, who has lost to the Thorn Birds before, play up, and the other three teams of our other three teams play the other three teams in the LPL have a high probability of winning. β
The coaches at DWG give their own advice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the coach of the KZ team was immediately unhappy: "You mean that your DWG will be stronger than our KZ?" Why don't you go? β
"What you said doesn't make sense, the only team that lost to the LPL region in the group stage was you, doesn't that mean anything?"
"Fight the thorn bird, you can do it, if you can win the first one, I won't eat kimchi for a month!"
"You ......"
"Alright, don't make any noise."
Kkoma frowned.
He has been keeping the LCK together all this time.
The order of the teams in the finals has long been decided, but I didn't expect that there would be people at the last moment.
The supervisor of the Griffin team also said at this time: "We have to consider another question, if we win the Thorn Birds, then does our LCK have a chance to take the LPL 3-0 this time?" β
The crowd was silent.
Everyone understands the truth.
If the Thorn Bird really loses, then how can the LPL, which has lost its backbone, be the opponent of their LCK division?
But here's the problem...... Is this bone of the thorn bird really easy to gnaw?
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Griffin's coach continued to speak: "We have to gnaw on this bone of the Thorn Bird sooner or later, why don't we find a way to win them now, and wait until the time of the World Championship to find it?" KZ can't force the Thorn Bird's tactics, but we Griffin should. β
"Hmm...... Well? β
KZ's coach was still touching his chin and nodding, but when he listened to it, it felt like something was not quite right.
"Let's just decide, Griffin as our youngest LCK power, they will burst out of infinite possibilities on the field, I believe that these young players, young, represents vitality, don't look at the thorn birds seem to be very strong, but they are just a team formed by a few older players at the beginning of the year, Griffin has been running in since last year, and the chance of winning is not small."
KKOMA made a decision, and did not give the coach of the KZ team a chance to say anything.
At this time, the performance on stage also ended.
Players from both sides took the stage one after another.
At this time, nearly forty minutes have passed since the official start of the game.
The organizers also seemed to realize that their opening ceremony was a little inkblotted, so when the players from both sides took the stage and made sure that there was no problem with the machine commissioning, the BP of both sides started directly!
"Blue thorn bird, red square griffin, today's LPL division directly let the thorn bird go first, and the first game of BO5 is indeed worth it."
On the commentary seat, the commentary combination of Doll, Miller, and PDD stood in front of the commentary table, and it was Miller who spoke at this time.
"That's right, if you win the first game, it will still improve morale a lot, and here the Griffin team took the initiative to choose the red side with the priority to choose the side, and it feels like their BP has an idea."
The doll said, and PDD took over the conversation: "It is very likely that the core of Griffin's team is double C, and they have chosen the red side a lot of times, and the purpose is to give one of the C positions to get the Conte position, let's see the Ban people on both sides...... The first three bans of the thorn bird are a bit interesting, in addition to banning Tarzan's spiders, they also pressed Tamu and Bron? β
"Spider understands, Tarzan's signature hero is the Spider Empress, but Tam and Bron...... Thorn Bird: Is this going to make the next lane a strong attack? Avoid the kind of protection type assistance you Griffin chooses to mix? β
Millers could only consider this reason: "On the Griffin team's side, the front three-handed ban is to press the vampire, Karma, and the cat......"
"The cat they pressed off with their last hand,Obviously, they plan to observe and observe the ban position of the thorn bird before making a decision.,What's more interesting is that their first three hands didn't mean to target Brother Luo.,But I have to say that among the three heroes, Karma and the cat are banned.,It's equivalent to dismantling the two hottest systems of the thorn bird since the start of the summer game."
"It depends on how the first floor of the thorn bird chooses, the first floor ...... Oh? Bull head? Locked! β
The first floor of the Thorn Bird locked the bull's head in seconds, which made PDD a little surprised and added: "The idea of the Thorn Bird is to force Griffin to take Silas under the premise of supplementing the stability control support?" But this version of Silas E skill shield is gone, and the ability on the line has been greatly weakened, so it can only be used for junglers, and it depends on whether Griffin wants to take it......"
As a former professional player, PDD is still keenly aware of the Thorn Bird's intention to choose such a person.
If Griffin really chooses Silas, most of the time it will be in the jungle position, and it will be relatively easy for the incense pot to be targeted.
Griffin wasn't fooled either.
After they first showed the signboard sword demon to the Sword Emperor on the first floor, they followed up on the second floor to add a strong jungler Zhao Xin.
Doing this is obviously to tell the thorn bird, the next set? They don't eat it anymore.
The Thorn Bird's response to this is a two-handed second lock with extremely fast speed.
It is still a lineup system that is very characteristic of the Thorn Bird team.
Dream Demon, Galio.
Xiangguo did not choose the prince for the confrontation of the wild area, but chose the dream demon.
Although Zhao Xin's wild area ability is strong, there is still a high probability that Dream Demon's W will block the third stage of Zhao Xin's Q skill, and once Zhao Xin's control does not work against Dream Demon, Dream Demon's E skill and the deadly rhythm that can be carried in the talent can make Dream Demon's 1v1 ability overpower Zhao Xin.
Therefore, although the dream demon is not restrained compared to Zhao Xin, it is not considered to be counter-restrained, and the thorn bird chooses the dream demon, and only needs to pay more attention to the early online line, so as not to be caught by the fast-paced Zhao Xin.
Once you reach level 6, Dream Demon is quite strong with Galio's BO.
Griffin's coaching staff doesn't seem surprised that the Thorns will pick this pairing.
While PDD in the commentary seat was still analyzing the first three BPs of the Thorn Bird, the hero finalized on the third floor of Griffin brought PDD to an abrupt end.
"Huh? Really? Do you Griffin really dare to choose? β
The doll took a step forward and screamed exaggeratedly.
The audience at the scene was like the New Year, and they were very excited to cheer and applaud.
I saw the hero on the third floor of Griffin, which was Li Luo's signboard...... Tool man, drama master!
In the next second, the drama master is suddenly locked!
The cheers of the audience also reached a small apex at this moment!
βviperοΌ Dare to choose a drama master in front of SHINE, come on! β
"What's so scary about shine? Teach him a hard lesson! I believe you viper! β
"Maybe Shine herself was surprised, right? Would he be afraid? Viper is a newcomer just like you, oh, to Xian, rush! β
On the Korean forum, netizens who failed to grab tickets are also discussing.
And under the deliberate face slap of the Korean director, they did see Li Luo, who was a little stunned in front of the camera.
At this time, Li Luo also noticed the camera, smiled at the camera, and even stretched out his hand to say hello.
The cheers of the audience seemed to be delayed for a moment at this moment.
And in the next second, Li Luo didn't know where to take out a ruler and shook it at the camera.
This ruler quickly turned the already sluggish cheers of the scene into a riot.
They were recalled.
There was once a player named ruler who played a trick in front of Li Luo.
In that game, he had a miserable result.
And Ruler is one of the three great drama masters of LCK.
Bang, Ruler, and now Viper.
The three major drama masters of Hanbok, the three of them played very well.
Bang has skins, but after taking the skins, as soon as that version passes, Bang rarely chooses a drama master anymore, and Emperor Ruler seems to have taken over Bang and occasionally uses it in the arena, at least he won't let this hero sit on the cold bench.
It seems to be a legacy.
However, when Li Luo appeared, the Korean drama master inheritance seemed to be broken.
Now, is Viper going to take it back?!
"What are you doing with a ruler?"
At this time, Liu Qingsong also looked at Li Luo with some astonishment.
"Secret."
Li Luo said with a smile: "I didn't think about taking it out at this time, isn't this catching up?" β
"I don't understand you."
Liu Qingsong looked at Li Luo's somewhat sunny smile and shook his head speechlessly.
In the second round of BP between the two sides, Griffin seemed to realize that the Thorn Bird had the meaning of choosing the big core of the lower lane, the dream demon bull head Galio, and the three heroes were most likely selected to fight around the lower lane.
In order to prevent his house from becoming an ATM, Griffin pressed Calista and the policewoman.
In contrast, the Thorn Bird killed the plane and Silas.
The reason why the first round is not banned is because the Thorn Bird wants to see if Griffin will grab it, and if Griffin grabs it, then the Thorn Bird will naturally not take the current lineup.
Now that Griffin's mid-laner has not yet come out, considering that Silas can steal Galio's ultimate support variable, Thornbird still chooses to press it down.
After the second round of banning, Griffin's fourth floor gave the support Lehends player Pike!
"Is Pike worthy? It's really a good combination, and Griffin's lineup Ueno is rushing inside, and it's easy to lower the blood line on the Thorn Bird's side, this Pike has a saying, it depends on how the Thorn Bird team copes......"
In the commentary seat, PDD watched as Griffin locked onto Pike and then shifted his gaze to the Thorn Birds.
I saw that the fourth floor of the Thorn Bird team first locked on Kenan.
Closely followed by ...... On the fifth floor, a headshot large enough to mobilize the world's audience was lit up.
"Let's hunt down those who fall into the darkness!"
Listening to the sound coming from the headphones, Li Luo squinted his eyes slightly.
Night Hunter, Wayne, Lock!
No hero was more imposing than Wayne in the first game of BO5.
This is also one of Li Luo's favorite heroes.
If he had the chance, Li Luo even wanted to give Wayne a skin in his career......
