Chapter 215: Semi-finals on the way out of the new era LMS
The 2017 League of Legends Continental Semifinals, scheduled for the afternoon of July 8, have now been successfully opened.
Ladies and gentlemen, the following is a detailed introduction to the two major regions.
The LMS Independent Division won the S2 League of Legends World Championship with teams such as Lightning Wolves, AHQ, JT and M17.
The pre-match stats are as follows: No. 1 seed FW: Currently ranked 3rd, 4-2, undergame 8-5, win rate 62%
Second seed AHQ: Currently ranked 4th in the region, 3-3, 8-7, 53% win rate
No. 3 seed JT: 2nd in the region, 5-1, 11-2, 85% win rate
4th seed M17: Currently ranked 7th, 2-4, under 5-10, 33% win rate
Division total current record: 14-10, Under 32-24, 57% win rate
The teams participating in the Treasure Island Division and the Korean Division Continental Tournament are selected as the top four teams in the Spring Tournament, which is different from the LPL Division.
LCK Division
No. 1 seed SKT: 2nd ranked, 7-1, 14-4, 78% win percentage
No.2 seed KT:3rd ranked, 7-1, 14-5, 74% win rate
No. 3 seed SSG: Currently ranked 1st, 7-1, 15-5, 75% win rate
No. 4 seed MVP:10th ranked, 1-7, 2-15, 12% win percentage
Division total current record: 22-10, small 45-29, win rate 61%
In terms of competitiveness and team data, the Korean team has to surpass the Treasure Island Division in terms of performance and individual strength.
It was a difficult but certainly vigorous semi-final that could go down in history, and after an emergency meeting, the four teams said that they had come up with a practical and effective plan to deal with it.
In the pre-match interview, the South Korean team said that it would advance to the final with a big score of 3-0, and the defeat in the group stage was only a small probability event in probability, and the fundamental reason was the force majeure caused by the unaccustomed water and soil of the treasure island.
Now the four teams are in good shape.
As soon as the video of the main interviewee Feike player was released, it sparked a huge discussion frenzy on the same day, and most League of Legends players believe that the current LCK is just sitting in second place by one point over the LMS division, and there should not be such a proud posture.
At the same time, there are also elite Korean elements who have expressed 100% support for this.
They believe that BO1 and BO5 are not the same kind of games, BO1 is full of uncertainties, and it is impossible for the LMS team to win against the powerful Korean team Smecta in the BO5 competition.
The three-to-zero prediction became the consensus of the majority.
Now let's get back to the game.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides did not know the order of the teams before the game, and the Korean team sent a strong KT team in the first game out of the idea that the first victory was inevitable. In the LMS region, the fourth seed M17 was sent to respond. ”
"Obviously, the LMS division is also using the strategy of Tian Ji, the great master of our country's art of war, M17 is the first to play with the spirit of daring to sacrifice and taking responsibility, and to fight against the second seed of the current LCK."
The audience lamented that the M17, who had posted for the first sacrifice as an "inferior horse", could not express their deep regret for being able to go to SKT.
The result of the match was not surprising, even though the players tried their best but still lost to a strong opponent, the KT team was highly motivated, the individual strength of the players, and it was not surprising that M17 was defeated in front of the well-trained and well-executed No. 1 player.
At the end of the handshake stage, the audience applauded thunderously, they were proud of the heroic spirit of M17, and the LPL team also watched the whole game carefully, expressing that it was not a crime of war.
An insider revealed that the LMS division already knew the order of the team dispatch for the first LCK through unknown means, and it was a deliberate choice to send M17.
The famous prediction master, LPL working emperor explained on Weibo.
Although the KT team is a cut behind SKT in the spring game, it has a strong early style and fight-style operation tactics in terms of strong vs. weak play, which is difficult for LMS teams to resist, so KT teams are more difficult enemies to deal with than SKT.
Winners and losers in the second and third games.
The second match consisted of the triple crown winner SKT vs. Team EDG Jr.!
The leader of the AHQ team, who is in charge of the order of the regional competition, said that he will take the lead and will definitely get a victory for LMS.
"What are you muttering?"
From the moment he changed his clothes, Ming Kai saw Qin Yu talking to himself alone, and he could vaguely hear a voice similar to a news broadcast.
I'm having auditory hallucinations?
Interrupted by Ming Kai, Qin Yu looked at the two teams on the stage, and SKT didn't seem to realize the problem of his own single in the BP link.
"It's nothing, I'm wondering if LMS has a chance to overturn LCK."
"Unlikely......"
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"
Rubbing his face, he didn't have that much confidence in his advice.
The routine can still succeed once or twice, but the gap in overall strength is another five games, and three wins are a bit out of reach.
"How did you arrange the optimal solution?"
"M17 carried the KT of the first game, it doesn't matter if the score is lost or not, KT has a hand in abuse, basically no team in the LMS division can handle them."
"Lightning Wolf doesn't work either?"
"No, it's just a simple team style and hard power restraint."
"In the second game, we were able to let the AHQ team Yin have a barbecue stall, the key point is whether the lightning wolf can play his own style and gnaw Samsung or MVP, so that ahq can use this routine to yin the Korean team in one game, and it doesn't matter if the rest of JT is out or not."
In the rules of the game, if one side is already 2:1 down in the first four games, then the team that has already played can send the team that has already played to the game.
The key to victory is the lightning wolves, they can win LCK's Samsung or MVP then there is a glimmer of hope in the LMS division, if they lose, then 3-1 going home is a result that can't be changed.
"Relax, it doesn't matter if AHQ and our relationship are good, the other teams going abroad just follow the fate, our four teams will cooperate sincerely, and there is no problem in playing LCK in the finals."
"It's not like you can say it at all."
Qin Yu glanced at Ming Kai in surprise, when did my brother have the greatest confidence?
Regarding Qin Yu's ridicule, Ming Kai was deep-sighted.
His eyes wandered into the distance, even if he couldn't see the details on the stage.
"Can you win?"
"I just know that EDG doesn't want to lose and won't lose to anyone."
……
At the end of the BP of the two teams, the AHQ coach gave full play to the tactical system of strategic cooperation with EDG.
The blue side chose a charging system with the Creoyanfinch as the core.
In terms of AD position, Xiao An kept in mind the content of the meeting, and did not choose the hero to go crazy Lori, and instead took the initiative to determine the current version of the first hero Reverse Yu - Xia.
The audience was pleased with AHQ's robust BP.
In terms of jungler and support, AHQ respects the SKT team, is not proud, does not let go, and grabs to get the hammer stone and the jungler blind monk.
In the face of opponents, the Triple Crown champion SKT team did not want to expose too much tactical system, and appeared conservative in the selection of personnel.
There is a certain conflict between the top laner prince and the jungler keg, the mid laner is too late, and the defensive support Tamu on the lower lane is obviously giving up his advantage lane with Verus.
"The garbage lineup, if it is selected, there is a 70% probability of losing against EDG." As the two sides are about to enter the Summoner's Rift for a cordial debate, the SKT team unfortunately did not have the support of their own fans.
At the same time, there are most dissatisfied opinions about the SKT team in the Korean forum.
The competition has officially begun.
At the invitation of the blind monk Li Qing, the king of the canyon jungler, the rock sparrow arrived in the F6 area one step ahead of the enemy heroic bombardier.
Subsequently, with the joint efforts of both sides, the speed of Comrade Li Qing's brushing of F6 has been greatly improved.
Meanwhile, the enemy barrel was still alone against the Six Birds, and the Kuchi player didn't help.
Blue starts with jungler farming efficiency increased.
Ming Kai, a member of the LPL friend team outside the court, discussed the situation with Qin Yu and reached a consensus on a series of issues such as how to expand the advantageous game.
Comrade Qin Yu said that he had delivered the relevant plan to the AHQ team in advance last night, and what we should do at this time is to wait quietly and slowly, and believe that partners are our unswerving beliefs.
Manager Abu said that since the establishment of the competitive regional partnership with LCK, it has successfully achieved a lot of results.
Both sides have been able to achieve a new stage of rapid development, with LPL regaining the MSI championship and G2 also achieving remarkable results, and now the AHQ support for the LMS division is a new perspective.
Manager Abu emphasized that we must maintain close communication with friendly competition areas and teams, refer to the operation mode of China's table tennis, and improve the team's competition mechanism.
The AHQ team has learned deeply yesterday.
Ueno has maintained a good cooperation in the team, and the two have ideas for further exchanges with SKT team's top laners.
In consideration of safe production, Comrade Shangdan Ziv invited Comrade Hammer Stone to participate in this activity in advance.
In the case of three-on-one, Uenosuke's three teamed up to successfully win a blood, and now they have successfully learned from all walks of life to learn from the example of the LMS division, which is of great significance to the LMS division to defeat the LCK division.
Shangdan Keli said that the friendly cooperation between the competition area and the close cooperation of his teammates were important key factors for him to achieve a blood, and the team's voice resounded in the crowd's praise for the two Nosuke.
At the same time, the captain reminded us that we must maintain the belief that we should not forget the people who dig wells, and never be a villain with two faces.
The key to the game is to establish effective communication methods for each side, and to gain the advantage of the game one step ahead of other partners, and to consider the next step to promote the strategy of other roads.
At that moment, Comrade Hammerstone returned to the lower lane to assist Reverse Feather to inform the team of the cooldown of the team's skills.
At the same time, the competitors have abundant funds, strong strength and the tenacity of different teams from the past, our side is not more than a bloody 400 economy, blind arrogance is not advisable, blind confidence will harm people.
If you want to gain further advantages, you should move forward in a steady and orderly manner.
The middle road Yanque expressed his high recognition and was willing to continue to build a modern and innovative canyon with the road after level 6, and contribute valuable strength to further expand the road and the team's advantages.
Since the middle lane has been aligned with the legendary player Feike, the rock sparrow has adhered to the principle of controlling the line and pushing the line at the right time, focusing on preventing the enemy's capture line of Kutch, who got the explosives package in about nine minutes. Observe the enemy personnel from the upper, middle and lower directions, and at the same time take advantage of the high mobility of the Rock Sparrow VI to give full play to our fine tradition of heroic combat and tear through the defense line of the SKT team.
With the active cooperation of the five team members, the overall development of the team in the early stage is mainly steady and progressive, but Yanque knows that the Korean team has rich experience in post-processing, and we should make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses and strive to achieve a greater advantage in the early stage. This also made Comrade Yanque think clearly and have a clear direction in the process of wandering.
The four team members executed effectively and achieved remarkable results.
After capturing the movement of the local jungle barrels, Rock Sparrow and Comrade Kereh took the initiative to attack.
In the end, he completed the killing of the upper single prince in the enemy's red zone team battle, and the jungler barrel fled in a hurry.
However, in terms of details, Feike players are like Dinghai Shenpin, playing steadily, and with excellent operation, they successfully replaced the head of our side in the follow-up team support, and the better development of Kuqi of the later hero is still a huge challenge for their own side.
Comrade Yan Que of the AHQ team emphasized in his voice that all walks of life should strengthen their control of their vision while doing a good job in their own affairs, have a sense of the overall situation, be strict with themselves, and not be corrupted by the petty profits of one soldier and one soldier. Strengthen the layout of the big and small dragons' vision, the advantage of the upper road, the canyon pioneer can invite Comrade Li Qing to go with the jungler, and the duo of the lower lane should support in a timely manner after the line is pushed.
At the same time, we will unswervingly step out of the green and innovative game of the modern LMS competition and finally achieve the semi-final victory, which is our ultimate goal until the death.
The task ahead is arduous, but we should rise to the challenge and give full play to the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work.
After the short team battle, our side should implement the scanning and eye inspection in the competition for resources in the wild area, and at the same time require all relevant personnel, especially the auxiliary comrade Hammer Shi, to bring real eyes and more real eyes when they go out.
The defense tower on the road has been destroyed by Comrade Kereh of our side, and at this moment, all personnel should strengthen their awareness of prevention, improve their ideological cognition, and pay attention to teamwork.
Deeply learn and improve the bad style of S5 Jinx, face exploration, grass and other bad styles.
Suddenly, near the upper lane, which was communicating with Govin IV in a friendly manner, was attacked by the enemy auxiliary Tamu and Verus, in the process of continuous pursuit, although the enraged knight resisted, but after all, he was outnumbered because of the disconnection with the team, so far, this incident caused a total of the upper single Cree to die on the spot, and the canyon pioneer released in the middle lane could not gain a further advantage, and the bottom lane duo and the middle lane gave up two minutes to develop the tower for the end.
It is understood that the initiator of this attack, Feike players, was not satisfied with such results, and it can be seen from the enemy's actions that Feike players have the idea of launching bigger and more attacks.
As the game progressed, the two sides won and lost each other.
The SKT team was shocked by the combat power that burst out of AHQ in front of them.
In the game, the two AHQ Ueno played the role of the mainstay, and the team won the advantage of the two played a great role, and at the same time, the pressure on the Feike players in the SKT team was huge, and the prince's role in contributing to the team gradually decreased over time, and the damage of Verus in the AD position was also not as good as that of Kasumi in the later stage.
Feike players know that if they want to win the game, they must make good use of the team heroes and all the props, so that there are infinite possibilities, and only through the unity of all parties can they achieve a phased victory.
……
It's a pity that in the end, AHQ still failed to defeat the barbecue stand, the mountain in the history of league esports.
Forty minutes into the game, the economic gap between the two teams has been controlled at about eight thousand, and although the prince on the road is far less effective than Kree, he only needs one big move.
In the same way for Verus in the AD position, Tamu chose to give up the AD and protect Feike, who was already in a god outfit.
God, there is still the power to stifle LMS in the continental competition.
It's true that LCK teams in the group stage and the knockout stage are very different.
Da Fei and his dynasty are indeed going downhill, but it is not something that AHQ can overthrow.
And AHQ was defeated, and Qin Yu's system task of helping LMS defeat LCK basically failed.
Counting the two consecutive defeats in the M17 and AHQ LMS regions, although the Lightning Wolves tried their best to defeat the fourth seed MVP, it was difficult to recover the decline of LMS.
In the fourth game, the lightning wolf continued to appear, but as Qin Yu thought before the game, LCK sent KT, which was the most suitable for playing a weak team.
Thirty minutes, the 21-4 score ravaged the audience in the LMS division.
"I'm sorry to disappoint your tactics."
After the game, Xiao An ran to EDG's rest area and apologized to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu waved his hand.
"You also did your best, and it was a very dangerous act to be in the late stage of the barbecue, not to mention that he also got the plane with exaggerated strength in the later stage of the current version."
"See you at the world."
"Okay, see you in the world, you must kill them in the final." ’
"South Korea's Smecta has a disgusting face."
Several other team members also felt uncomfortable listening to the slightly mocking interview of LCK outside the field.
"Definitely!"
Sending a few people away, Ming Kai leaned over.
"How about our comrade Zhuge Kotou express his thoughts?"
"Publish what? Sadness and crying when strategy fails, doubts and frustration of self-confidence in life? ”
It's good that I'm not so fragile, no matter how good the tactics are, the people who have to implement the routines in perfection don't have problems.
AHQ and barbecue stalls have a hard power gap, and people G2 can win because the operation of the European buddies is really not bad, and they also like to play tricks, so on the basis of accepting new routines, it is much better than LMS.
In addition, Tian Ji horse racing also has to be a superior horse, and it is a medium horse to win others, and the competition of four horses basically eliminates the existence of upper, middle and lower play.
The fist is also well aware of the power of the Chinese art of war.
Compete for the best region, not for the best coach's appearance.
But LCK's mouth is as hard as ever.
Da Fei said in an interview.
"In the finals, we don't think the LPL can pose any threat to us, last year and the year before last, and from 2013 to now, the champion of the S competition is still our division, isn't it?"
I have to say that there are not a few LPL players who agree with Li Guapi's remarks.
Although the little blacks did not dare to output EDG against the wind, they thought that they could at least win a victory, rather than ending the battle 3-0 as Li Guapi said.
But the minions who have been kneeling for a long time always believe that the LCK division is to be one level higher than the LPL.
Qin Yu just glanced at the interview seat, then turned around and left, "Say so much before the game, just don't continue to be stubborn after the game." ”
"I like the European competition for this, if you make trouble, if you lose, you will admit it immediately, even if you continue to talk hi next time, it's okay......"
