October 22 at 6 a.m. domestic time.

Madison Square is already full, and although the North American team has long since fallen outside the top nine, today's matchup is likely to go down in the history of the S game.

Both teams are new and strong teams in the top regions, and the style of the early competition is extremely similar, as if Mars collided with the earth, and the level of competition that broke out can definitely surpass any previous semi-finals or even finals.

In previous years, it was SKT's single-sided abuse, but this year's four teams in this competition, except for SSG's slight weakness, the other three teams have hopes of winning the championship.

Especially the fight on the road.

Dow and Smeb have been officially named the top two top laners in the world by Riot, and today it's time to verify who is one and who is two!

Chu Ge, who was still waiting in the passage, looked out of the stage through the black cloth.

Good guy almost didn't make it to the end!

One row is taller than the other! There is also a pedestrian aisle in the middle, but the slightly free seats are arranged by the fist to play the drums.

If you sit in the last row, let alone want to watch the players, it's a bit difficult to even watch the big screen on the scene, so it's better to watch the live broadcast on your phone.

Live VR?

At this moment, the lights on the scene suddenly went out, and the audience not only did not panic, but cheered even more loudly.

On the four large screens hanging above the stage, the countdown numbers began to flicker, and the sound of the countdown resembling the 'biochemical mode' resounded throughout the garden square!

The audience was also shouting in unison:

“Three！”

“Two！”

“One！”

When the sound of 'One' ends, the logo symbolizing Riot Company shatters the glass, and the scene turns again!

Famous signs such as New York's Times Square and the Statue of Liberty began to appear on the screen, and the players of the four teams showed their faces one after another, each saying the game declaration in a different landmark.

Finally, when the summoner trophy appeared on the screen, the blue fluorescence around the stands on the scene suddenly lit up.

Riv, the North American whitebearded presenter, slowly walked onto the stage in a blue and purple suit, waving his hands towards the surrounding stands.

"This is Madison Square Garden!"

"Welcome to the 2016 World Championship Semi-Finals, where today's semi-finals will be played by Rox Tiger vs. Invictus Gaming!"

"Let's have the No. 1 seed from the LCK on the stage!"

"Top laner Smbe, jungler Peanut, mid laner Kuro, bottom lane Pary, support Gorilla, substitute mid laner Cry, and their head coach Nofe!"

The silver-haired little peanut raised his hands confidently and waved towards the audience under the camera, and the face of the cream boy attracted countless viewers to be excited!

After the players on the other side of the stage were introduced, the host raised his voice, "Next, please invite the 2016 LPL Summer champions, the players of the No. 1 seed team to appear!" ”

Contrary to the lights of the Rox Tiger players, IG is all shrouded in light blue light, which unexpectedly looks like Poseidon has appeared.

"Top laner Dow, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, ADCarryWuxx, support Baolan, substitute Kid and their head coach Mafa!"

Chu Ge still had his hands in his pockets, and under the blue light, his whole appearance was shrouded in a hazy feeling.

Under the guidance of the staff, the players from both sides came to the players' seats, and the equipment at this moment has already been debugged and can start the game at any time.

Today's LPL commentary seats are Doll, Miller and Shenchao.

After a brief oral broadcast, Miller took over the topic and said aloud: "Today is also a battle that we are looking forward to, and as our Dow players said in their post-game interview, Rox is the biggest stumbling block on their way to winning the championship this year." ”

"And it feels like the first game between the two sides will be very intense!" Doll joked, "Especially the director should pay attention to switching cameras, I feel that Dow and Smeb are both short-tempered and will do it at any time." ”

"I think the two sides will test it first in the first game," Shenchao habitually tilted his head and analyzed, "After all, the hero pools of the two sides are very close, and in the case of the same strength, in fact, the version of the hero represents a higher numerical strength." ”

"That's true," Miller agreed with Shen Chao's opinion, "but if Dow can't stand up, then King Ning will have to consider using the Wild Core Hero to make up for the damage." ”

When the three commentators were warming up, the director gave the data of the opposing players respectively, and the two teams were on par in terms of bloodiness.

It is even said that due to IG's vision problems, there was a situation where the face was probing the grass, and there were many fights that should not be fought, so that the average number of heads is now ranked first among the 16 teams.

Chu Ge topped the list with 17 single kills, while Smeb followed with 13 single kills.

Measured in the style of LPL, Chu Ge's data is actually quite normal, but in the LCK region, which is dominated by stable operation, the number of single kills of Smeb is really exaggerated.

After the data came out, the audience in the LPL live broadcast room cheered completely, constantly tapping on the keyboard to vent their inner excitement.

[The Great War of the Century! Let's remember October 22nd! 】

[Dow has really single-handedly changed the stereotype of our top orders in other regions!] 】

[Can you start quickly, buddy is going to itch to death!] 】

[Please, let's go straight to the big brawl, I want to see if it's IG's shock wave strength, or Rox's Hedong lion roar! ] 】

[Yo, now Han Za has learned to beat around the bush and curse. 】

[Didn't you read the post? After IG entered the semi-finals, all three LCK teams were rejected for training matches! 】

As soon as this barrage was fired, the domestic live broadcast room was completely chaotic.

At this time, the director gave close-ups of the faces of the players on both sides in turn, and it can be seen that everyone's mentality is relatively stable, and there is no situation similar to gritting teeth and splitting teeth and asking for offline Solo.

As a matter of fact.

With the combat power of IG's side, it is really not necessary to be able to defeat the five people of Rox Tiger, after all, a South Korean death declaration ParY is enough for IG to drink a pot.

Even if King Ning was in front of them, his figure looked a little thin.

"Smeb, let's play!"

With the referee's order, the BP screen came crashing down.

"Eh" the doll frowned, "IG failed to guess the coin, they can only get the red side, BP is a bit disadvantaged!" ”

Once in the semi-finals, the group stage ranking advantage will no longer exist, and both sides will guess the coin to determine who has the right to choose the side.

"Rox Tiger sent Sindra to the Ban position!"

Today's Sindra is the midlaner hero with the highest BP rate in the S6 Worlds, as high as 97.3%.

Normally, this hero should be the ban slot that the red side needs to bear, but Rox took the initiative to ban it, which is mainly because Kuro doesn't play syndra much.

I played it once in the entire S6 and lost the game against the wild card ANX.

And it can't be put on Rookie, who is known as the two-goal one-corner, otherwise Kuro will be very uncomfortable in the middle of the lane, unable to support, and will be hit in the Mid Gap.

IG is to fix the ban on the leopard girl.

Even as analyzed in the previous post, IG can't give it to Rox, and it can't even do BP design exchanges.

"The blue side took the initiative to disable Olaf!" Shenchao frowned and said, "Ning Wang Olaf hasn't used it much, so he probably wants to get a spider for Little Peanut." ”

Peanut is not only terrifyingly strong as a leopard girl, but spiders are also one of his unique signatures, and he is affectionately called 'Spider King' by Korean netizens!

Before the semifinals opened, Little Peanut Elise had a terrifying 25-2 stats and had won 13 in a row.

The most important thing is that the games he took out were basically Carry games, and he could play MVP-level performances.

These data are naturally known to IG's coaching staff.

After all, in the quarterfinals, EDG played four games, and all of them sent the Spider King to the Ban position, otherwise they might lose faster.

However, Mafa didn't block the spider first, but instead sent Kuro's unique dragon king to the Ban position.

Nofa is not surprised.

Kuro's Dragon King's performance against EDG in the quarterfinals is definitely remarkable, and it is estimated that he stole a hand from KT's mid-laner Fly.

Rox Tiger didn't ban Kree in the third slot, but instead banned Morgana, who played very well in the group stage.

"Ban Morgana, this is trying to take the ice!?"

There's something about ParY's ice.

It's not that he can hit a high output, but this guy's icy ultimate can reach the power of Lu Buyuan's halberd, and he often gives the opponent a head-on blow.

Most importantly.

The icy E [Eagle Strikes the Sky] can help Little Peanut explore King Ning's location, indirectly increasing the pressure in his wild area.

Miller looked serious, "If IG gives the spider the third hand, then Rox Tiger will definitely grab Jace, and the Spider Cree combination can't take it, and the IG line is a little passive." ”

"But Dow has a hand that Lucian can deal with," looking at the footage of the director giving the IG player seat, Shenchao continued to analyze, "IG has to make a choice, whether to ban spiders!" ”

As the disable countdown sounds, Mafa finally decides to discard the options for Spider and Jace and opt for disabling EZ.

IG's BP on the red side is really hard to do.

Wuxx's EZ hasn't been practiced until now, and if you don't Ban it for the Rat King ParY to get it, IG will be very uncomfortable in the lower lane.

Instead of this, it is better to continue to play with the other party to exchange heroes.

"Very smart!"

Shenchao's eyes lit up, "Dow can take Jace!" If you Rox Tiger chooses to rob Jace, IG will directly train you with Spider Cree. ”

"You have to make a choice!"

Nofa frowned slightly.

In their training matches with SKT and SSG, Jace's version of T0 hero was not available to either team, and this is the advantage of their hero pool.

They haven't played training matches with IG for the past few days, which has also caused them to ignore the existence of Dow Jace a little.

In the entire S6 World Championship, IG has never won a single one!

This creates darkness under the lamp.

Nofa hesitated.

Now that Olaf has been banned, if he doesn't grab the spider first, IG will definitely lock down, which is equivalent to saying that he lost the first round of BP.

"Sure enough, Rox grabbed the spider directly!"

"Let's see what IG will do!"

IG's thinking is very clear, and he decisively helped Chu Ge take down Jace, and then helped Wuxx lock down the cold ice to grab Ban.

"In that case, if the IG is singled out, Rox Tiger will be able to lock down the policewoman + Karma on the road!"

"Can Han Bing beat a policewoman?"

Miller was a little puzzled, "How do you feel that IG's lower road BP has been suppressed, and there has never been a situation where a policewoman has played cold ice in this World Championship!" ”

The doubts of the commentator seat are Chu Ge's laughter.

The priority of the policewoman in the group stage was raised, because of the changes in version 6.15 1 Blood Tower, and the other point is that the policewoman is very good at playing the current version of T0AD Yin Zeriel online.

Combined with Kalmar, you can push the line stably and quickly take down a tower in the lower lane that has no [fortification] effect.

But

From the strategic perspective of the S6 version, the current coaching staff and players don't know that Han Bing is good at playing female policemen, so Rox Tiger is not prepared for this.

Obviously, IG can easily lock Jie La, and Ning Wang only has the blind monk to choose, leaving the Counter position to Rookie in the middle laner.

The last two picks in Rox.

They locked Victor and Poppy down.

The biggest reason why Bobby was able to enter the professional arena again was when Jace and the Spiders couldn't get this kind of fixed-point kill lineup.

The hammer-form cannon became the spider's best partner.

And after Rox Tiger locked down Bobby in the last pick, the audience now booed, and their imaginary matchup on the road did not appear.

On the contrary, the Tigers stabilized.

If Smeb chooses a signature Rambo to come out, in fact, Jace is not very good at pushing Mecha Bobby's line, but Jace plays Bobby.

It's a pure defense tower under the line.

IG eventually locked another ball at Rookie's behest.

In this way, the lineups of both sides are finalized:

Blue side ROX: Top laner Bobby, Jungler Spider, Mid laner Victor, bottom lane policewoman + Karma

Red side IG: Top Single Jace, Jungler Blind Monk, Middle Single Clockwork, Bottom Lane Ice + Zyra.

The moment the lineup came out, the barrage in the LPL live broadcast room rolled wildly.

[The BP on both sides is a real fairy fight! ] ROX Gamble helped Peanut grab his signature spider, and IG helped Dow get Jace]

[The key is that Rox Tiger is not on the top at all, they choose Rambo for this lineup, it is 4 APs, it is obvious that Bobby is definitely a good choice, not too resourceful, and it is also very good to match the spider online]

[Sit back and watch your pigeon pigeon world race first Jace be slapped in the face, but don't forget that he only mastered the thunder and lightning in the LPL belly top laner]

[Do you understand the lineup? IG's offensive rhythm in the early stage has been contained, how can you still take over the group in the middle and late stages, you can't win at all, right? 】

The director once again gave the shots of the two players.

It was obvious that the Rox Tiger players had a smug look on their faces, as if they were very satisfied with the lineup they had gotten.

And the faces of several players in IG can't see any expressions, but the referee behind them can know that these guys are doing bad behind their backs!

Before the referee drove them away, the coaches of both sides continued to give a few words of instruction before taking off their headphones and shaking hands and leaving the field.

With the noisy cheering and shouting of gongs and drums under the stage, the whole picture of the summoner's canyon was suddenly presented on the big screen of the scene!

It's the end of the month, so vote for the monthly ticket! Thank you, readers!
