290 [Summer Finals Return!] 】
The LPL fans at the scene shouted and cheered, and their outburst at the moment was no less powerful than the LPL Summer Decision.
The lights in the venue went out suddenly.
"Hello all the summoners on the scene!" Emperor Roaring Xiaodi, who had a unique voice, stepped into the center of the stage, raised the microphone with one hand, and waved vigorously with the other.
"This is Gwangju, South Korea, and welcome everyone to the semifinals of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship!"
Amid the cheers of the anticipating spectators, Emperor Hyo continued after the momentum gradually subsided, "Now that the journey to Busan has come to an end, there are only four teams left, and the winner of the two battles will finally go to Incheon for today's finals!" ”
"Let's start by welcoming the second seed from the LPL, Rive Up!" He waved his arms, dragging out the outdo.
"Upper order lemte, jungler ning, medium single sales." Emperor Roaring Xiao read out the IDs of the contestants word by word, and then when he read the star player of RNG, Uzi, the audience under the stage once again ushered in warm applause and cheers.
As a regular participant in the World Finals, Uzi has gone against the traditional Korean ADC style of play, and his aggressive style and bottom-lane playful style have gained many fans and viewers from South Korea.
Hear your name.
Jane ate her gum proudly, waving her hands in return with a smile and beckoning to the audience below.
After introducing the RNG players and the head coach, Emperor Roaring quickly adjusted his state and kept his voice in a resilient state.
"Coming up next is the 2017 World Finals champion, the No. 1 seed from the LPL, INVIG!"
"They weren't under the spell of the defending champions in League of Legends history, and today they were in hot form, going all the way and attacking for the new year's title as a dark horse!"
"Then we give them a warm welcome again!"
"Top laner Theshy, Jungler Fly, Mid laner Rookie, bottom laner Jackeylove, support Baolan and our Triple Crown Coach KKOMA!"
The five players maintained their cold and unsmiling state, and it was obvious to the naked eye that the players who were still smiling more seriously than RNG looked much more serious.
After all, for IG, every step they take now is related to whether they can continue the bold words that Li Nian has made on major platforms.
Now Li Nian's cold eyes showed a little warlike intent.
Each of the twelve players on the field has a reason why they can't lose, and no one will let go of water in this game because of a good relationship.
The best effort of everyone is the greatest respect for esports and opponents.
On the other hand.
Now that all the LCK teams have returned to the team by bus to start the holiday, there is no need to worry about some people tearing the network cable in the venue.
Not really.
It's okay to get a king card traffic.
The audience saw the tension between the two team members, and waved the battle flags of the two teams to continue to cheer.
"The game is about to start, let's look forward to this derby battle from the LPL division!"
The live broadcast signal switched from the main stage back to the LPL's commentary seat.
"Welcome to the end of the semi-finals of IG vs. RNG, I'm your friend doll!"
"I'm Miller!"
"Director Wa, once again we seem to have commented on the game between SHR and OMG together," Miller said with a spring breeze, "This is also the second civil war in LPL history!" ”
The doll nodded wildly.
"Since the S Tournament was held, there has never been such a grand occasion in the LPL, and there are three LPL teams in the Final Four!" Miller said here and began to sigh, "If the LPL wins the audience again in today's game." ”
"Then we have the hope of achieving the desire of four championships in 10 years and successfully surpassing the LCK region!"
Doll took over the topic, "Recall that at the beginning, when our team faced OGN, we still thought that we could win one game, but now the competitive state of our division is obviously stronger than that of LCK. ”
"What's more, LPL teams are blooming, not only the dark horse JDG, but also the rising chivalrous heart, and the dark force OMG, all of which have gradually formed the top teams in the LPL region."
Doll and Miller have been engaged in commentary for many years, but it is really the first time that they can stand on the stage and stand up and say hard things.
Don't say how cool it is.
The IG and RNG logos appeared on the big screen.
After the director finished comparing the records of the two sides, the doll received a reminder from the front director, "Now that the players on both sides are ready, let's hand over the picture to the ten players in front." ”
The bp panel is already in front of everyone.
"According to the throwing hard pen of the coaches of both sides before the game, RNG got the right to choose the side first, and they got the blue side with a higher winning rate in the first game."
bo5.
Whoever can get a crucial point in the first four games on the red side will have a much better chance of winning the entire BO5.
But well......
Ever since KKOMA took over as IG coach, he has always brought a little surprise to the team with his non-chieftain luck.
"RNG disabled Akali first!"
The doll stared at the information in her hand, "King Ning's Qinggang Shadow proficiency is no less than that of Brother Nian, and it is estimated that they are not very good at banning Camille in the first three hands." ”
But KKOMA didn't have a head iron, and took the initiative to put the green steel shadow in the ban position.
Although the rest of the team doesn't know the strength of King Camille, as far as Li Nian, who is a traverser, is concerned, this guy's Qinggang Shadow is a unique ability, and he can get the ability to FMVP in BO5.
After all, you have to respect a hand!
"The second ban on RNG is given to Rookie's Sindra, and the tactical intent is obvious, wanting to free up the account to do things."
Miller began to analyze, "In that case, it is estimated that RNG wants to grab Galio in the middle lane first, and link up with King Ning's behavior in the middle field." ”
IG methodically followed the pre-game BP strategy and sent the ice shooter that Uzi is good at to the ban position.
Among today's functional ADCs, Uzi has a very narrow range of options, and if the core hero can't appear, only Kasumi or Kai'Sa can choose.
But in the face of such a reckless man as IG.
The head coach of RNG has suffered countless losses, and now he has woken up and given Rookie Ice Girl to the third-hand banned hero seat!
The hero Ice Girl, similar to Galio, is a hero who is biased towards support and team battles.
Rookie is on the stage of today's World Finals, and after these two heroes are taken out, the degree of radiation impact on the wild and wing lanes is ranked first in the entire middle lane.
The purpose of all RNG is clear.
Blockading Song Yijin to death naturally limited Li Nian's incomparably exaggerated early rhythm ability.
At KKOMA's signal, Rookie immediately blocked King Ning's signboard Kai Yin, and released Zhao Xin and the two strong heroes of the wine barrel.
In today's game, Ning Wang's Kaiyin was used only a handful of times, but all of them won without exception and became the 100% Kaiyin winning rate of the LPL.
In the eight-in-four game, his Kai Yin turned into Lan Kai, allowing Ah P to see what is called the blood bar disappearance technique.
And Kai Yin, the hero is too flexible, although he was more injured in the early stage of brushing the jungle, but the means of invading the field of vision is indeed the top existence of the league's jungler heroes.
If King Ning wants to get it, it is estimated that Li Nian's wild area will also be disturbed and made to a dog, which is obviously not in line with what IG wants to see.
After thinking for a while, he asked Yan Junze to lock the knife girl, ready to swing in his hand to confuse IG.
"I'm going?" Jack was a little puzzled, "Canhu and Letme can still control the four sisters on the list, won't they be selected?" ”
His face was full of suspicion, and he was even wondering if King Ning had the intention of using the knife girl to fight the jungle temporarily.
After all, it wasn't until the last time Riot urgently strengthened the ability of the knife girl in the wild area, and it didn't make a callback, and it has always been able to appear in the wild area.
But reason told him that it was still a bit too far-fetched to let Ning Wang use it, first, Ning Wang had never won this hero in the regular season, the playoffs, or even in the previous games of the World Finals.
Even KK, who has collected countless information and information, is given to middle and upper players.
"RNG has hole cards." Li Nian raised the corners of his mouth and said secretly in his heart.
It has always been an unsolved mystery why RNG was defeated by G2 in the previous life, some people say that it is due to the problem of Uzi Hongwen, and some people say that it is due to the problem of account cancellation......
There are many opinions, but no one knows the actual situation.
But for RNG in today's environment, they have repeatedly suffered at the hands of IG, and now in the last meeting between the two teams in 2018.
RNG's training team must have broken their heads and wanted to eliminate the IG in front of them.
KKOMA held a black notebook and paced back and forth behind the contestants, "Li Nian, what kind of hero do you want to take." ”
Today's Zhao Xin Barrel Rock Sparrow Blind Monk is still on the field, and the range of heroes that can be selected in the first round is very wide.
He thought for a moment, "I'll take the barrel." ”
"Okay!
After locking it down, Kkoma locked it down for Jack again.
This hand is not a ban and grab, after all, in Uzi's hero selection, it is a hero who will be eliminated first.
"Barrel and ....." Miller quickly guessed IG's intentions, "IG This is to prevent the opponent from locking the sword demon down again on the second and third floors, so as to form two strong mid-to-upper swing positions with the sword girl, after all, if you want to take the sword demon, the jungler position must make up the AP hero." ”
In today's version of the infinite emphasis on jungle fighting, the number of mage jungler heroes is very small, and if the spider is forced to appear, it is very likely that the jungle will be heavy.
So IG locked the keg down, and it wasn't much of a problem.
However, Heart also thought very clearly, after all, in order not to destroy the swing of the sword girl, if he couldn't choose the sword demon, he could only take out the lower duo.
"Kaisha + Bullhead!"
The doll was not surprised, "These are also the two heroes that RNG has the most choices of bottom lane heroes these days, and the ability of UZI to take over the game after the three-piece suit is obvious to all!" ”
"Well...... Miller found Huadian, "the first three heroes of the RNG are a bit too short to get started. ”
"In the situation of the disadvantageous game, there is no way to defend the tower, and the advantage is not easy to advance, so you can only have an advantage with IG in the middle and late stages, and even say that you can only advance the defense tower by taking down the big dragon and getting the bonus of small soldiers."
"IG was the last one in the first round to decisively lock up Tamu!" Miller praised in his heart, "Even with Tam's standard combination, facing the RNG rushing lineup will bring them a lot of trouble!" ”
In the second round of BP, IG continued to target King Ning, blocking Zhao Xin and Yanque, so that King Ning would only be left with Olaf and the blind man.
RNG, on the other hand, continued to target Rookie's heroes, blocking Zuo Yin and the Enchantress.
KKOMA immediately locked Ruiz down.
Heart also knows very well that this hand Ruiz is very likely to be locked down by Theshy on the road, after all, in Nakano's hero selection, double AP is really a bit difficult to do.
That's the case.
IG is equivalent to leaving the middle in the TER position.
Heart is a little irritable.
His intention was to get IG to lock down Nakano as quickly as possible, and he dealt with it in an instant, limiting IG's rhythm ability in the early and mid stages, and dragging the game into familiar territory.
But kkoma seemed to see through him and didn't give him any chance at all.
King Ning frowned.
Nowadays, there are too few jungler heroes that can be selected on the field, and Sword Demon can't come out at all without AP jungler heroes.
After thinking about it for a while, he still communicated with Yan Junze and decided to lock the sword demon down and go to the jungle.
And Yan Junze himself got Kenan, who has good online ability.
"IG finally got Jace for Rookie!"
The line-ups of both sides are finalized:
Blue RNG: Top laner Kenan, Jungler Sword Demon, Mid Single Knife Girl, Lower Luc Kaisha + Bull Head.
Red side IG: Top laner Ruize, Jungler Keg, Mid laner Jace, bottom lane end + Tamu.
"In this case, the problem of short RNG hands is still not solved," Miller began to analyze, "Their lineup is very strong in team fighting, and all five heroes are heroes who need to enter the field. ”
"And the lineup on IG's side, whether it is poke or team battle ability, is not weak, and it is really good to be able to get this overall system in red."
The audience cheered loudly for their team.
It wasn't until the big screen showed the pictures of the players' interviews that they watched the gunpowder from the LPL derby in earnest.
Appearing in the footage is King Ning.
"My fate with this guy Fly is really deep...... "King Ning smiled happily, "Whether you kicked me out of the starting line last year, or every game this year, you have to win." ”
He raised the corners of his mouth, "But today in this crucial match, I will prove to everyone who is the world's No. 1 jungler." ”
At the end of this interview, the summoner's canyon has also been loaded, descending on the gymnasium of Gwangju Women's University.
The ten heroes quickly bought their gear and left the fountain and took up their positions towards each other.
"Both sides started very steadily, and they didn't go shopping in the opponent's wild area, but just stood in a long snake formation to defend around the wild area."
After all, the level 1 team battle ability of both sides is very weak, and the two auxiliary abilities of Tamu and Niu Tou are half a catty to eight taels, and it is difficult to have too much impact on the team battle.
Li Nian took advantage of the fact that before the whole army attacked, he stood in the grass and thought about the planning of the wild area of this game.
Theshy, who was on the road, was not necessarily able to suppress Kenan in the early stages.
After all, Kenan is generally a Dolan sword when he goes out now, and Ruiz's level 1 cannot be compared with either skill damage or basic attack ability.
And Jace in the middle of the lane against the knife sister, in fact, is not very dominant, basically a 55 open situation.
The only ones who have a slight advantage in line power are Tsuki and Tamu.
After thinking about the route of brushing the field, Li Nian began to communicate with his teammates.
"I'll brush down from the top half," Li Nian shouted in the team's voice, "Jack, it's okay for you two to grab two, I'll come directly to the next road to keep people?" ”
After all, the speed of the barrel's farming is stronger than that of the Sword Demon, and it is absolutely present in this case.
In other words, even if Li Nian didn't know the location of the Sword Demon, he could still give full play to the advantages of the barrel and go to the lower lane to gank after level 3.
