Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Heart of Provocation! A European lion with an aggressive style of play
This key showdown between MAD and RA made the commentary and the audience look forward to it.
If RA can successfully achieve revenge on MAD, then the LPL region will occupy three of the quarterfinals, and the overall results will not be so ugly.
So, in anticipation of the audience, the live camera switched back to the arena, and after a short break, the five members of the RA team took their seats on the competition stage again.
It can be seen from the expressions of the players that several members of RA are still relatively relaxed.
"After the defeat in the last game, I believe that RA has also summed up some experience and lessons, and what kind of coping strategy have they developed in the face of MAD who has a strong offensive side in Ueno?" Guan Zeyuan said with an expectant face: "The BP part of this game is about to start, let's wait and see." ”
Guan Zeyuan is right, MAD is indeed a team that focuses on the offensive rhythm in the first half.
In this new LEC king division, known as the European Lions, the three members of the team have the blessing of SR-level life.
First up is the European French King Humanoid player, and after the G2 team is declining, Humanoid also took over the title of Europe's No. 1 midlaner from Caps.
Of course, Humanoid's teamfight performance is nowhere near as impressive as the Caps players at their peak, but its gameplay style highlights the word "stable".
The formation of his personal style is naturally also influenced by the SR life [conformism] carried on his body.
So, Humannoid's traditional midlaner this season has played very well, and you can't ask him to do more, but he's basically been able to do his job as a midlaner pretty well.
MAD team's top lane Armut player is regarded by some netizens as the No. 1 top laner in Europe, and with the blessing of the SR-level life grid [thick and fine], this player can maintain an aggressive lane style while also being able to control the details of the lane better.
In Europe and the United States, which are known for their rough alignment, it is not easy to do this.
The team's jungler, Elyoya, is considered to be the soul of the MAD team.
He is a strong initiator of MAD's early rhythm, and under the influence of the SR-level emotional personality [Provocative Heart], Elyoya is always able to make aggressive offensive choices in the early stage.
These choices can often open up the game for the team early in the game.
Therefore, with Nakakamino having a three-SR level hitbox configuration, MAD managed to win the spring and summer double this season, and even on the world stage where the strong are like clouds, Ueno's strength is not inferior to any team in the death group.
When facing the MAD team, whether they can cope with their offensive rhythm in the early and middle stages of the game will be the key to winning or losing the game.
The three commentators also mentioned this several times during their pre-match analysis.
"Don't say much, the preparations for both sides of the game are ready, and the BP session has officially begun." After a brief discussion of the situation, Guan Zeyuan switched back to the field.
"The first two wrenches on both sides were very quick and sharp, with MAD on the blue side directly disabling JOJO's two signature heroes, Enchantress and Sindra, while RA on the red side chose to disable the Nosuke combination of Kiana and Cat."
"And on the more critical third hand wrench, MAD pressed Lucian's point, it seems that he didn't want RA to get Luna, and RA disabled the hero of the blind monk."
The Blind Monk is the first and most advanced rhythm jungler in the World Championship version, so naturally he can't get it from Elyoya, who has the life style [Provocation].
As a result, the first three levers of both sides have been confirmed, and the competition has entered the first round of selection.
MAD on the blue side locked the card for the Humanoid directly on the first floor, and RA pulled out the Ueno combination of Jace and Zhao Shin with a backhand.
"Oh, that Cube just felt very hot in the hand, so I just gave him the councilor?" RA's choice surprised Elvis Greatly.
Before the game, the three commentators were still discussing whether to let the upper road come up with a stable hero choice, but they didn't expect RA to do the opposite, and directly gave Cube this hand that emphasized the right line Jace out.
In this way, RA's Nakano must focus on the road in the early stage.
MAD locked the prince and the monkey on the second and third floors one after another.
"Monkey is not played by many people in the LPL and LCK, but the LEC is really optimistic about this hero." Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "And this hero is really easy to play Jace after level six, plus the prince and the middle field of the card, the pressure on Cube is actually quite large." ”
"Let's see what RA chooses on the third floor." I remember that I was looking forward to RA's next choice.
"There is a high probability that JOJO will get the middle laner, and the middle field of the three hands in front of you is all bright, and if you don't show it again, you will be designated to eat the trigger in the second round." Cat Emperor Road.
Sure enough, RA locked a single hand on the third floor, and it was still a hero choice that JOJO hadn't pulled out at the Worlds.
Silas the Liberated.
"Silas can." Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up: "Silas is really okay, just looking at MAD's first three hands, Silas's big move has already made a big difference." ”
Not only can Silas steal card ultimate, but the prince and monkey's ultimate, which also provides infinite possibilities for his play in team battles.
"MAD wouldn't think JOJO's hero pool didn't have Silas as a hero, would he?" The Cat Emperor said: "This Kami-Nakano is simply tailor-made for Silas." ”
The implication of Elvis Presley is, how can you not send Silas to the trigger if you choose such an Uenakano?
"The problem is that the lever is not enough, I think that no team in the World Championship has dared to release JOJO's LeBlana easily, and JOJO's Sindra is also terrifying, and it is understandable that Lucian is pulling off the road, after all, Luna is still too strong."
Therefore, there is actually nothing wrong with MAD's first three hands, and the coaching staff may have guessed that RA would respond with Silas when they took out the cards, but considering that RA has not given JOJO this hero so far, there is a bit of luck.
If RA hadn't locked Silas on the third floor, MAD would have sent him to a second round of leverage.
In the first round of selection, both sides appeared in the middle of the field, and in the second round, only the bottom lane hero needs to be limited.
As a result, MAD chose to block the female gun plus Ephelius, while the RA side pulled out the Riga hammerstone.
In the end, MAD locked up the classic combination of the Kashaga Titans, while the RA side chose the lower lane duo of the Ember Nutan.
The final line-up selected by both sides is as follows:
Top Order: [Monkey King VS Jace]
Jungler: [Prince VS Zhao Xin]
Mid laner: [Card VS Silas]
Shooter: [Kaisha VS Ash]
Support: [Notilus VS Leona]
Before the game entered the loading screen, Fang Jie finally chose the [King of the Lane] + [Full Picture Vision] life grid configuration.
With the line-ups of both sides appearing on the big screen at the back of the arena, this head-to-head matchup is about to kick off.
Nima's, deceived me to build a group, and I didn't add it if I built it, right?
Sure enough, book friends will make some embarrassing proposals for the author.
