Chapter 34: Chicago (Part II)
The EDG crowd who was watching the game backstage also looked solemn.
RNG might have been swept away if it hadn't been for Looper Jace's brilliant play in the first game.
Moreover, after being replaced by the substitutes, SKT did not lose their strength, but played a different style, which means that if the coaching staff develops tactics for SKT, the workload will increase significantly.
Of course, that's all for later, and now the mountain of ROX is standing in front of them.
Abu frowned, studying ROX's footage.
The upper unit Mouse returned to China for family reasons, and now only Tong Yang can use it, but in the face of Smeb, it should... You can't be killed alone, right?
Thinking of the 'thunder' played by Smeb in the group stage against G2, Abu felt his scalp tingle.
The jungler position was originally a more comfortable position for Abu, but the 'horse stepping on Feiyan' in the group stage and the subsequent performance of the factory director made Abu worry about this player he had always trusted.
And a very aggressive jungler like Little Peanut is precisely the type of factory director who restrains him.
In addition to worrying about the World Championship, he is also afraid that this state will continue into the next season, in case the state of the factory director has not been adjusted back or cannot be adjusted back by then, where will EDG find a jungler?
Thinking of this, Abu frowned.
Although the junior brother is not well-known in the middle laner, Abu does not think that he is weaker than Kuro, and even if he plays well, it is entirely possible to suppress his opponent.
After all, Kruo's hero pool is relatively single, and it is more inclined to late-stage Fatan and support heroes, and there is not much pressure on the junior brother line.
The bottom lane duo of Pray and Gorilla are also well-known, but based on past qualifying matchups, EDG is completely worthy of it, and even Meiko says they are confident that they will have the advantage now.
Now it is clear that EDG is strong in the middle and bottom, and they want to seize this point of play, so Abu called the coaching staff over to discuss tactics.
October 16th
"Jace flashed E and hammered back Rambo blind monk W touched his eyes and flashed R, Rambo made a long displacement, and this distance flashed and died!"
At the same time that Rambo sent out one blood, the lower RNG began to pack four packs of two, but the factory director Olaf didn't wait for meiko's residual blood Karma to recover, and he ate the policewoman's frame and Zyra's E skill by his own anti-tower, and when he opened the ultimate, it was already residual blood, and finally the policewoman took the head of the peacemaker (Q).
Then the junior brother's Ruiz resisted the tower, and the EZE skill entered the tower to make up for the damage, and finally DF successfully got out of the tower with all the shields of the barrier.
EDG At this time, the middle and lower three people were all disabled.
However, the Dragon King arrived at this time, and Kuro's Dragon King's ultimate slowed down from a long distance and Karma killed Karma with the output of three people and returned to the tower.
EZ didn't know whether he was confident to turn back or afraid that he would be counter-killed and not A came out, allowing Kuro's dragon king to escape with blood, and the audience applauded wildly.
There was no blood, and the four packs of two in the lower road were beaten two for two, and EDG can be said to have collapsed a little in the early stage.
A minute later, Little Peanut arrived again, and today EDG was on the road as a double road.
But Tong Yang played a top-level top single operation this time.
After being slowed down by Jace, Jace and the blind monk had a wave of operation errors, Jace melee QE skills repelled Rambo at the same time, the blind monk W was attached to him, and the blind monk who did not flash could not be output for a while, and Rambo, who was slowed down, also knew that he could not escape, and all the skills of the backhand were output to the blind monk, and Rambo's ultimate move after his death took away the last trace of the blind monk's blood bar.
The world's top Ueno linkage two hits and one was counter-killed, Tong Yang recovered a little loss this time, but Smeb's Jace was even fatter.
In the 17th minute, the Dragon King Fei Er Tower cooperated with Jace to kill Rambo, and the Tigers' help strategy was implemented very thoroughly.
At 19 and a half minutes, RNG Nakano drove down, but was tied up by Gorilla's Zyra and the two of them drove big, and the factory director Olaf drove a big kill but was pulled, and could only retreat with residual blood, and then the Tiger team immediately supported, pulled down, and killed Rambo with a shot by Jace through consumption, and then continued to advance, Dragon King Zyra kept looking for opportunities, hung up the control to eat Jace and the policewoman's skills, and lost two towers in a row on the road.
At 29 minutes and 17 seconds, the Tigers took the big dragon.
In 32 minutes, with a lead of 10,000 economies, the blind monk who could already support the little peanut played the operation of touching his eyes and entering the crowd without dying.
Then the Tigers played steadily and successfully bulldozed EDG's base in 35::43 seconds.
Aside from Ueno's wave of mismatches, the Tigers didn't give EDG any chances.
EDG is leading in the lower lane, and the other roads are at a comprehensive disadvantage.
The young junior brother was fiercely educated by the dragon king of his predecessors.
The audience in front of the screen can clearly feel the gap between the two teams, and EDG, who are invincible in the summer tournament, have no room to resist in front of the Korean team?
Some people see this and close the live broadcast room and choose not to be angry, but there are still many people who expect EDG to regroup and win back the city, after all, EDG is also known for its slow heat.
But in the second game, the factory director's men became the breakthrough of the team.
At 7:30 seconds, the four people on the opposite side pushed into the next tower, and the factory director's men went to the tower to protect the lower road duo to eat the line, but he accidentally walked to the edge of his own tower's attack range, and was seized by Kuro's dragon king QR two consecutive control, Zyra E skill street perfect Comboo, and finally the blind monk flashed over the dragon tail to take the head.
He didn't even move the whole time.
After driving down the road, the blind monk of Little Peanut grabbed two waves in a row, and the second time was to cooperate with the Dragon King to cross the tower to kill Tong Yang's Kenan, a 13-minute 0-2 Kenan team battle that was pressed by the tree 20 times can provide a control It is good, there is not much output at all.
And EDG's lineup is in need of Kenan's mid-term damage.
At 19:21, the factory director contributed the first underworld scene of the game:
The blind monk ambushed meiko's Karma at the opponent's red BUFF instead of being controlled by it, Ruiz took control and beat the blind monk into half blood, and the dragon king came to answer, at the critical moment, the galloping centaur ran over and kicked the blind monk to beat it into residual blood, and then the blind monk flashed to dodge Deft's brilliance.
The big ones are coming.
The distance between the centaur and the blind monk is as small as the distance between the men and women in the nightclub dancing veneer dance, so close to the big but the blind monk gently twisted and directly dodged, but the centaur himself rushed out for a long distance and ran directly to the middle route!
Although the blind monk died in the end, this wave of operations still attracted the English commentary "Oh oh oh" non-stop, I don't know if they were amazed by the little peanut's position or the god-level move of the factory director.
Do you think that's the end of it?
Then EDG five people pursued the remnant blood dragon king, the factory director's remnant blood horse took the lead in the dragon king, but was sprayed to death by the dragon king with W, and then the three people who outflanked the tiger team played a subtle cooperation, Jie La flashed E three immediately connected to R, and the big tree also made up for the AOE damage of the ultimate, AD was crazy in the back, and the remnant blood dragon king played a 0 for four.
At 19:44 seconds, the head is 2:9, the economy is 8000 behind, and the general trend of EDG has gone.
Kennan's every wave of entry will be pushed away by the dragon king's big move to cooperate with Jiela's death,The expected Kenan sat in Ruiz's car and melted in the back row without a wave,Finally,The blind monk with the big dragon BUFF flashed and kicked the dead tower under the bloody centaurs,Announcing the victory of the game,It also indicates that the era of Ming Kai has come to an end,The tiger team easily pushed off the EDG crystal while lighting up the sign for 26 minutesใ
"RNM refunds!"
"Insiders in the civil war, laymen in the outer station, anyway, 3:0, I can do it too!"
"Every year in the quarterfinals, play a team."
"How to beat, with an electric baton?"
"The electric baton is happy to die, which can be regarded as revenge for ten thousand pigs."
"The factory director retired and sold meat muffins! Stop playing, spicy eyes! โ
"Let two chase three? Let the three chase dreams! โ
โ...โ
All the expectations turned into endless anger at this moment, rolling wildly in the official live broadcast room.
How much support I had for EDG before the game, how disgusted I am now.
Even on the intranet and extranet, many people directly said that EDG is no longer a world-class team.
As the hope of the whole village of LPL, it is also the greatest hope, sweeping, and it is difficult for LPL audiences to accept.
Once the ranks are to be judged, someone must stand on the judgment seat.
In this game, or this world competition, EDG's worst performance factory director naturally bore the brunt.
In just a few days of the World Championship, his men and horses have created several underworld scenes, achieving little peanuts and pushing themselves into the abyss.
Is it time for me to retire?
The director of the lounge thought of this question for the first time, whether it was because he really couldn't move, but EDG was relatively strong as a whole to cover up all this, or whether he was just playing out of order for a while, even he couldn't be sure.
From WE to EDG, the teammates around me came and went, and suddenly looking back, there were few people who were in the same era as themselves.
Is it time to put it down?
But I'm just one short of an S championship to be complete!
The factory director lowered his head and looked at the team uniform on his body unwillingly.
At the beginning of the third game, the camera was shown to the players' seats, and Smeb even smiled and sang, and the whole person was very relaxed.
In 3 minutes and 53 seconds, the factory director's brushing route was mastered by the other party, and Olaf, who was third-level and half-blooded, went to fight red and was ambushed and killed by the blind monk and Jianji and sent out a blood.
After playing the wild little peanut, he went directly to the middle to cooperate with the mid-laner Ruiz to kill the junior brother, and there was a tendency to play as soon as the game came up.
Then EDG found an opportunity, and Uenakano worked together to kill Ruiz, which was considered to save the situation a little.
After that, the two sides fought back and forth, although the factory director was still very confused, but the dragon king of the junior brother frequently supported the road, killing Smeb's sword sister twice in a row, helping Rambo establish a certain advantage.
13 minutes of key down the road group, EDG four people advance to the next tower, ROX's Zyra first big move to fly EDG three, but fatally, the others did not keep up with the damage in time, on the way to pursue, the factory director Olaf entangled the first TP down the sword Ji to help the team to buy time, Rambo TP down to amplify, with the dragon king's ultimate move to play a huge amount of AOE, this set of Comboo wave turned the situation, Smeb's sword Ji in the junior brother's flexible position under the four seconds of a knife, live like a silver, In the end, he was in a hurry to flash the last flaw and hit a big move to kill the dragon king, and he was chased to death by Rambo.
This wave of one-for-four gangs EDG overtook the economy in one fell swoop, and then Rambo used it as a bait to lure out the blind monk who was ambushed on the road, and then EDG killed two people in five packs, and the policewoman received a double kill.
Subsequently, the two sides continued to ambush and counter-ambush.
Ruiz's driving, Dragon King's starry stream (E), Kalmar's acceleration and Ash's long-range support, the two sides are constantly fighting, with the style of LPL in the future, the head is 9:14 in 24 minutes, and the head is really going with time.
In 29 minutes, EDG Dalong forced the group.
On the other side, Ruiz and Jian Ji are difficult to solve in the later stage, so EDG chose to speed up.
Ember opened up remotely, the dragon king was beaten out of the resurrection armor, and when EDG was about to be defeated, Deft stood up, and the three-piece policewoman kept walking A under the blessing and protection of Karma, Ruiz and the blind monk were in pain, and Ruiz soon died.
Rambo also sprinkled a good general to seal the back road of Jiela, and then the policewoman let the bullet fly (R) with a shot and successfully collected the embers with residual blood to win three kills, EDG continued to fight the big dragon, and the real eye saw the little peanut on the dragon pit, and the policewoman lit two shots and went directly to the wall to chase the blind monk point.
ใACE๏ผ ใ
Although it was not connected, it was a real four kills, and Deft's policewoman saved the whole team.
EDG relied on the big dragon BUFF to push off the opponent's mid lane highland and upper lane highland tower, and finally found an opportunity to assist the lightning to kill the sword queen and the blind monk, 34 minutes and 44 seconds, EDG pulled back a city.
"EDG, come on!"
"Let two chase three!"
"Deft kill you!"
"Tong is invincible, Tong is invincible!"
As soon as the wind in the live broadcast room changed, the original scolding has now reversed a lot, and many people who have been scolding for a long time just now have turned around to sing praises to EDG.
Alas~ If you weren't really disappointed, who would want to scold the team in your own region?
EDG everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and the junior brother even covered his mouth and laughed.
The first two have been suppressed by Kuro, as a strong point in the tactics, he did not play the expected effect, this pressure made him a newcomer a little unbearable, and now he feels that the burden on his shoulders is a little lighter after winning a game.
In the fourth game of life and death, the factory director chose the blind monk.
I have to say that Riot's behavior of revising every time before the World Championship is really speechless.
The director of the factory basically played excavator barrels and male guns throughout the summer game, and after the revision, the strong jungler became the blind monk Maolaf.
It cannot be said that there is no intersection at all, but it is also at the level of tangent.
It's also unrealistic for him to regain so many heroes in a short period of time.
So there was this scene, I was there every time I played in a group, and I was in every wave of team battles.
His consciousness was completely fine, and Little Peanut's brush and GINK routes had been observed many times by him and he successfully reversed the squat, but there was a big problem with the operation.
Just like the 8:35 second catch, the blind monk touched his eyes and approached the hanging weak Karma and chose to slap the floor first and kick it, and when he kicked Karma away, he found that he had no energy!
The subsequent Q skill also failed to hit the remnant Karma, and an old jungler GANK will make a mistake in controlling energy, not to mention the audience, even the commentary seat is about to rise 'NICE! I also held back.
"Ultimate Q! No, no energy?! โ
Illusion said in a somewhat surprised tone, and put his hands back down excitedly.
13 minutes and 18 seconds, the blind monk went to the upper road GANK Kenan, kicked him to the wall, the enemy creep has not yet arrived, he just took two steps and then came out of Q, was turned around by Kenan to dodge, although he finally succeeded in killing, but this low-level mistake still makes people frown.
Then the teamfight on the road was another wave of opportunities to flash Big Kenan, but his Q to Kenan was only EAA.
Commentator Xi Zhihuan and PDD glanced at each other, if this was not the factory director, they would have to comment sharply on what they said, but they could only say one sentence when the factory director made this kind of mistake:
Pity.
In the 26th minute, the Tigers took the big dragon.
Little Peanut 8-0-3, Factory Director 0-2-2, what is more uncomfortable than this dazzling data comparison is that Olaf is fat and cooperates with Karma, EDG's two C-position Jace and the policewoman have no power to fight back, and they also have to beware of the thunderstorm that may go around at any time, and the output environment is worrying.
But Murphy's law worked again, and in 31 minutes, EDG's two-way highland was broken, and when he pushed the highland, Kenan took Ruiz's car around the day after tomorrow and thundered to four, destroying EDG's championship dream in one fell swoop.
"Let's congratulate ROX3:1 on advancing to the next round!"
The commentator Xi congratulated on the weakness of his breath, EDG's elimination means the total annihilation of the LPL, and the Chicago theater is left with only pain for the LPL audience.
Moreover, the LPL has not entered the semi-finals for two consecutive years, and the position of the second division has also been given to Europe, as for whether it is the third division... Then the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the wise.
This humiliating period was later called by many as the Darkest Hour.
At this time, at the NewBee base, Sun Muzhi sat in the conference room without the lights on, watching the lonely backs of EDG people slowly disappear on the stage, he turned off the screen, and in the dark night, only his eyes were as bright as stars......
