The stadium can still hear the cheers of the fans in attendance.

Some people are happy, and some people are dissatisfied.

This is true of any competitive event.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

Regrets, misfortunes, are part of the game, and there is always someone to play that role.

On the stage, the place that is illuminated by the lights will be blessed and applauded by the audience.

And the loser can only lick his wounds silently.

Post-match interview.

The host found CuVee and Eve.

"We would like to congratulate SSG on advancing to the second round, and at the same time, we have Ueno for an interview."

The camera shifted from the host to the contestants.

"Hi, I'm CuVee."

"I'm Jungler Eve."

Facing the camera and the audience, the two were a little cramped.

"Do you think there's anything you want to say today?"

CuVee raised the microphone and calmed down:

"I've said before that our goal is to make the playoffs, and now, I hope we can go further."

Remembering that many people questioned it that day, some SSG fans were very relieved.

"Who says SSG doesn't have a chance to make the playoffs? Who?? ”

"It's so handsome."

"Heh, it's not that JAG didn't grasp it himself, it's not that ROX released water, and SSG really can't get in."

No matter how well SSG plays, it will not be recognized by some viewers.

……

The moderator skipped the topic and went on to ask:

"You beat SKT in the last group stage, so what are your prospects for this BO5?"

CuVee's answer was simple: "SKT is undoubtedly a strong team and I will give it my all, but victory is not something I can predict. ”

SKT base.

The buckle stretched, "It's really made them this far." ”

"Their shortcomings are obvious, and I'd rather fight against SSG than against CJ."

"yes."

“……”

Winning this BO5, the media gave a lot of praise.

Entering the playoffs as the last seed, but beating CJ by a score of 3-1, everyone who knows and knows the league knows that it is a tough one.

For example, a hot post on a forum gave a very high evaluation to SSG's performance, thinking that they were able to achieve such an achievement in this devilish race, which is quite remarkable.

"Since winning SKT, we have seen a lot of things from this SSG that we couldn't see before, such as discipline, such as momentum, such as the handling design of the big dragons."

According to the post, SSG are pretty good at playing a little bit and then keeping those advantages, and they start with a lot of variations, but when they succeed, they show a lot of defensive determination.

Based on this.

This post also believes that the reason why SSG plays like this is because the middle and lower complements are generally developed, and if the scene is too disadvantaged, it is impossible to level the pressure only by the sideband-

"Through the data, we will find that SSG's average economic gain in the middle and lower is only ranked in the middle, and the reason why it can play a game different from the economic curve is due to its clear thinking and knowing how to grab the rhythm, but SSG's lineup direction is relatively single, which may be their shortcoming, at present, I haven't seen BlisS use Tsar."

Another analysis post argues that SSG has stopped here.

Skeptics believe that SSG's advantage is that they are very good at maintaining development, but they do not show other roster depth, and for SKT, as long as SKT chooses a mid-to-late lineup, it will force SSG to worry - in terms of development and taking over the game, SKT is better at it.

"It turns out that SSG is at a disadvantage in terms of double c output and big late team battles, and BlisS and Funy can't give any threat in front of SKT, even if there are junglers to help."

In other words, as long as SKT thinks correctly and doesn't think about taking risks, it can skillfully pull the SSG around the lane.

"Obviously, the offensive pressure is on SSG's side, and SKT doesn't need to rush at all."

Of course.

Some people also said that this SSG has no baggage, and they dare to fight hard, and maybe they can beat SKT like in the group stage.

"Many people skepticism only knock on the keyboard and write, they always feel that whoever is strong on paper will win, and they pay too much attention to the configuration of players. But they never paid attention to the fact that the contestant was not Superman. ”

In league games, it is not uncommon for the weak to beat the strong.

As soon as the pressure reaches a certain threshold, the operation will be deformed and errors will occur.

"A lot of people are not optimistic about SSG moving forward, but I think SKT can't relax."

"It's certainly a good way to focus on development, but who can prove that SKT can defend against attack."

"Everyone knows that as long as they give SSG an advantage, they will also actively shrink the defensive line and put the roadside belt."

…………

Back to the club.

Qin Lu didn't care about his fatigue, and hurriedly reviewed the gains and losses of the game.

This is customary.

Whether it's studying or in the workplace, even if you are an assistant coach, it is very beneficial to the players to review every day. The difficult thing in the training work is perseverance.

The next morning.

When Qin Lu was eating breakfast, he clicked on the forum.

It was found that the second round of the playoffs was widely discussed.

Overall, there are more SKT supporters.

This is not unexpected.

Qin Lu himself is very jealous of SKT.

The team members are warming up.

And before going to the venue, SKT issued an announcement -

[First Notice:]

[Mid Lane Faker, Jungler Bengi]

……

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in the entire competition area.

To know.

After Faker lost to SSG some time ago, Easyhoon has always been the starter, and although SKT also lost to CJ after that, Easyhoon's performance has not regressed.

Unexpectedly, this kind of hot player will be substituted again in the playoffs.

SKT has put out the poster.

Faker fans are thrilled - "Protect the best midlaners in the world!" ”

"Come on!!"

"Woooooooooooo

……

SKT Lounge.

"See, a large part of the SSG's offense relies on the jungler, and if we want to take the initiative, we can't let their mid lane be too comfortable, and at the same time, pay attention to gank when giving pressure. ”

"There's also the bottom lane, they like to take the clearance combination, and part of the reason we lost last time was that we didn't have a good spot.

We're better on the bottom of the road, but it's just a little bit ahead and the experience doesn't have much effect. ”

Since that day's defeat to SSG, SKT's coaching staff have done their homework again.

Buckle Ma vaguely touched some of the team's key points, such as the SSG's emphasis on the previous tower.

Other than that.

SSG plays what heroes, Wheel Mom Bomberman, Reiz Calista, there are few other options, and it is also the most monotonous team in the entire group stage to win the ad combination.

In the SSG system, the average ad damage accounts for less than 24% per game, and the average output is not high, but the KDA is very good-looking, with fewer deaths per game and more assists, which is also because SSG's ad rarely participates in the frontal battlefield and mostly operates in the clear line.

In other words, their AD is subordinate to the whole team, and they don't need to perform like the output core at all.

Although I don't want to admit it, on that day, SSG played more team and more reasonable than SKT......

Kouma glanced at Faker, who was listening carefully, and was very confident in his heart.

If defeat leads to growth.

There is no doubt about that.

The loss to SSG that day really made Faker realize that every time he rushed to determine his HP advantage, he would be taken advantage of by his opponents.

Love to play in the wild?

Come on.

Let's see if we can resist it.

……

"Today's battle is coming soon, whether SSG will make it to the final round of the finals, or whether SKT will meet Rox."

The voice of the commentary sounded in the live broadcast room of the event.

"Dry explosion SKT."

"Rush rush."

"SSG, come on."

The traffic began to multiply.

"We still hit the first half of the collision, and the team battle stared at Bang and forced him out of the battlefield first. Believe in yourself and we can win. ”

"Come on."

Qin Lu has experienced such an occasion, and he is one step away from the favorable goal he has thought of, but this step away cannot be easily passed, he has to try his best to adjust the psychological state of the players.

The team members debug the equipment and confirm with the referee.

Compared with the relatively tight atmosphere of SSG, SKT can be called dignified, Faker knows that he can't afford to lose, and he doesn't want to accept his defeat.

He didn't accept it.

"The most commonly used in the opposite mid lane are Ryze, Bomberman, and Zeroth, he doesn't play Tsar and Snake Girl, I don't have a record of these heroes, I can force him like this......"

He paced non-stop, clutching the small notebook in his hand.

Enter the BP phase.

SKT is blue, SSG is purple.

The first hand banned, the horse was forbidden by the wheel mother, Qin Lu blocked the leopard girl, and the second hand, the horse did not hesitate to seal Zelas and guide BP.

"There aren't many heroes in the middle lane."

The two commentators discussed a few words.

Qin Lu couldn't help it, "Press down on the Tsar." ”

Immediately after, dunk the horse to block Nal, which makes him hope to go on the road against only a low-tolerance hero counterpoint, so that the SSG will have to be cautious if they want to play a role in the sideband.

"Snake Girl."

At the end of the three bans, SKT chose Kenan in seconds.

"Here it is, MaRin's AD Kenan!!"

"It should be."

Buckle the horse to directly open the learning mode.

There aren't many heroes that the blue side needs to grab, and it just so happens that AD Kenan is one, and its curve and strength are suitable.

And this.

It is also the hero that Qin Lu deliberately released.

This BO5, he has to use everything he can.

"Ruiz, Calista."

SSG didn't have the feeling of panicking when the hero was robbed.

This hand coped beautifully, determining the middle and lower status.

Buckle the horse: "Ice, Lulu." ”

With the familiar original art printed on the screen, Bang and Wolf felt more confidence than they had ever felt before.

Qin Lu: "Titan." ”

A sound sounded.

Seeing this hand of titan, Bang was a little disgusted for some reason. I always like locks.,Forced skills.。

"Clockwork, excavator."

The selection of people is fast.

In this way, when SKT first confirmed the full lineup, the audience's attention focused on the last choice of SSG.

"What's there to fight AD Kenan? If not Jace. ”

"If you take Jace, will there be a lot of pressure on the lineup, in the middle line, the clockwork can press Ruiz."

As he spoke.

The SSG locked in an answer that no one had thought of.

"Little Fishman ???"

"Locked !!"

Qin Lu felt that his brain cells had died a lot.

In order to lay the groundwork for this hand, he hid it for too long.

Of course.

This is also because against CJ, you don't need to worry about losing money on the road, and unlike MaRin, SKT has a stronger lineup depth than your own side, and if you don't release the version of the strong guide order, you won't get what you want at all.

Sit in position.

CuVee is stressful.

In this game, the whole team is helping him pave the stage, and Director Qin made it clear that it is only convenient to go on the road.

At first glance.

It's kind of unreasonable.

Isn't Xiaoyu and Ruiz in conflict with AP?

But.

It's not AP, it's AD!

The AD Fishman outbreak is not as high as the AP, but in exchange for a very good, even over-the-top ability to fight tanks.

Q's mixed damage combined with the flare effect that can be triggered, plus W's extra damage based on the opponent's lost health, makes the little fishman have the ability to deal with it even if he fights Kenan.

The game begins.

CuVee manipulates the little fish-man into buying a bottle of Funy and two bottles of red.

After going online, they quietly waited for the line to come, because the SKT first-level regiment was not strong, and if they lost an ornament eye in the lower half, they could know that they were also defending and standing guard.

The selection of this little fishman's summoner skill is amazing.

Ignite + Teleport!

The top single fishman does not need to bring flashes.

Because on the one hand, the CD of QE is relatively short, and it has its own displacement.

On the other hand, the band ignite increases the kill line.

Of course.

Against Kenan, you still have to be cowardly in front, and at least you can take the initiative to change blood by 3.

And in the middle lane.

As soon as the game starts, BlisS is tortured.

"He likes to press, wait for me to be level three, don't change with him first."

Faker still plays aggressively, and the summoner skill sprints with a flash.

That's it.

SSG grabbed two normally in the lower lane, and the blind monk brushed all the red areas, and did not rush around the upper half, but first dealt with the river crabs, and then crouched in the grass.

Narrator: "Faker is a bit dangerous, something is going to happen a little further on, Bengi is no longer around. ”

Very familiar picture.

Ruiz was pushed to the line, and the jungler must help.

Seeing that the clockwork is the kind of cross-line consumption, it is almost the moment when the clockwork comes out of Q, the blind monk comes out of the grass, and Ruiz flashes WQ.

But.

Faker was prepared in advance.

He pinched W, waited for the blind monk to hang up the heavenly sound wave, and immediately started to sprint and walk backwards, and at the same time, Bengi gave up eating blue and rushed to the middle lane.

"The movement speed is fast, Eve is waiting for the next Q, as long as the Q hits, you can kill!!"

Next beat.

Eve roared inwardly.

can be in the picture.

The blind monk turned 300 yards Q for the better, and when the clockwork ran downward, he suddenly pulled out of position, and the backhand QW slowed down the blind monk.

"Bengi has arrived!!" The excavator handed over E, predicting that Ruiz would shoot W, decisively flashed the top, and before eating the control, he shot the blind monk away, and then hit the output with the clockwork.

In this way, the clockwork sprint continues to chase, continues to kite, and the blind monk who is slowed down by the red buff has nowhere to go.

As soon as the blood was obtained, the tense nerves of all SKT staff were slightly relieved.

It's a little habit they've secretly remembered when they've reviewed SSG game videos many times, and that's that Eve likes to gank for tempo time.
