When the director cut a shot directly above the stage, the audience realized how careful Riot was in creating the stage this time.

The middle of the entire stage was made to look like a summoner's canyon, with three roads, two rivers up and down, including four wild areas, and the seats of the players on both sides of the game were just in the position of the spring.

It is worth mentioning ......

Worried that there would be too many people at the Bird's Nest site, there would be unfair competition phenomena such as malicious reporting, so they deliberately built two soundproof rooms on the stage, with soundproof headphones and white noise to achieve 100% isolation between the players and the audience.

You can't blame Riot for thinking too much, after all, even if the previous foreign competition was the finals, it was nothing more than 1-2W people, and it was the first time that people like the Bird's Nest could accommodate 5-6W, so they had to be cautious and take everything into account.

During the time when the players on both sides of the competition went to the soundproof room to debug the equipment, the director directly cut the picture to the 'trash talk' part recorded before the game.

This year, Riot didn't arrange trash talk for the contestants to spray directly on stage, but instead recorded the footage in advance before the game and then played it in between the games.

It is also likely to take into account that most of the e-sports players are not good at dealing with similar links, especially the players in East Asia, the traditional culture pursues subtlety and restraint, and does not like to be too public.

In that case, the effect will be directly pulled on the hips, it is better to record it in advance, at least it will have more program effects, and the contestants can be more relaxed.

The background of the video is the Great Wall, one of the seven wonders of the world, Lee Sang-hyuk with his hands folded in front of his chest, the camera is an upward shot, and Lee Sang-hyuk is standing on a high place, so he looks very oppressive, his expression is serious, looking ahead.

"League of Legends has been ruled by us for the past few years, and there have been many attempts to oust us from the strongest throne, but in the end, it is we who sit on the throne! This year will be no exception...... No one can stop us from defending our title this year! ”

"The championship will continue to belong to SKT, and I! The next challenger awaits you on the throne of the strongest! ”

As soon as it came up, it was an exclusive domineering declaration belonging to the Great Demon King, and only Lee Sang-hyuk in the world would not be sprayed when he said such things.

People are just retelling what they have done in the past few years.

No one will break the defense just because someone else has recounted what they have done, right?

Immediately after that, another core of 96line, that is, another core of SKT, Bae Jun-sik, appeared in the camera, "The strength of the mortal player is very strong, his future is bright, he is still very young, the future belongs to him, but now!" Today! The championship belongs to me! ”

The camera changed for a while, and the background also switched to the crowd, and on the side of the busy CBD of the International Trade Center, the only Li brother Li Zaiwan with a harmless smile on his face said with a smile, "The defeat in the group stage does not mean anything, winning first is not a win, and the one who wins to the end is the champion!" ”

"I will do my best to help Brother Sanghyuk create a true dynasty of his own!" Little Peanut did not hide his identity as Lee Sang-hyuk's little fan brother at all, and the reason why SKT was able to beat other teams to recruit Little Peanut in the transfer period at the beginning of the year also relied on Lee Sang-hyuk's personality charm.

As for huni, who appeared last, the aggression was full, "The LPL team is a noble person in my career, especially the IG team, I can get to this point, I am very grateful to IG's top laner, I will break through IG like I did in the S5 period!" ”

Apparently......

Huni should have seen the stalk in China.

The value of 800W depends on half of the posture and half of the EDG.

[Laughing to death, is that garbage worthy of drying my brother's shoes? ] 】

[Stupid huni, you laugh at your mother, you are the most vegetable. 】

[I don't know the dishes yet, so I'll make a breakthrough on the road today! ] 】

[Spicy next door, IG killed this fool for me, my iron barbecue stall fans can't get used to this product, so they know to suck the blood of melon skin. 】

The camera quickly cut to IG's side.

Li Feifei is also standing on the Great Wall, facing the camera, his expression is not as serious as Lee Sang-hyuk, with a slight smile, which also makes the atmosphere look more relaxed.

"SKT is really strong and arguably the most successful club in League of Legends, it's bound to be tough to beat them, but it's not completely impossible to beat them, today! My teammates and I are here to prove that the old days of having just one Korean team reach the finals and could declare the championship booked in advance are over! ”

"The era of LCK domination League of Legends Worlds is over!!"

"What's more, this is the first World Championship to be held in China, and we have a reason to win!"

Li Feifei's speech directly attracted a burst of cheers and screams from the audience, what I want is this confidence!!

It is no exaggeration to say that when many teams faced Lee Sang-hyuk and SKT, they were already worried in their hearts before the fight started, and they wanted to admit defeat.

At least!

The IG did not directly lose the thought and will to resist.

"In the face of absolute strength, all false names are in the past, SKT is very strong, they have been strong in the past few years, but that only proves that they were the strongest at the past point in time, now? They're just competitors on the same page as us, and I was able to kill faker alone, and now I can do the same! We can win twice in a row in the group stage, and we can win the finals as well! ”

Song Yijin, who has always shown himself as a good man, suddenly seemed so aggressive, which made the audience feel a little surprised.

But it did inspire the audience.

That's right!

Who is Song Yijin?

Like the fat general of the year, he stepped on Lee Sang-hyuk on his debut!

The two sides are facing each other, and no one refuses to admit defeat, which can be regarded as adding a touch of gunpowder to this dragon and tiger fight, and pushing the atmosphere of watching the game to a new climax!

"Before the two sides start the competition, we can take a look at the data comparison between the two teams!" On the side of the pre-match commentary, Guan Zeyuan browsed the data, "We can see that IG has an overall advantage in all data, after all, compared to SKT stumbling in the quarterfinals and semifinals to advance, IG's promotion road is undoubtedly much smoother." ”

Although SKT does not focus on the bladder game like Samsung, its style of play is also very different.

Samsung is the ultimate turtle defense, while SKT is the main defensive counterattack, but the offense is not high.

On the other hand, IG's main focus is an early attack, quickly rolling the snowball, quick decision, and not dragging the mud and water.

The style of both sides is distinct.

It can also be seen as a spear and shield duel!

"It can be seen that SKT has a slight advantage in terms of average point insertion, that is, visual field data, which is in line with everyone's perception of them, after all, SKT is more accustomed to defense in the early stage, and defense needs a lot of vision to block the opponent's offensive line." Guan Zeyuan talked eloquently.

Rita on the side took over the conversation, "We can also see the player's personal data, the data of double C...... The data of the two sides are very different. ”

The midlaner of this World Championship is either a rhythmic midlaner or a pure tool midlaner like Galio, so the data of midlaners is definitely not so gorgeous.

"But the data comparison of the ADC position is ...... Is bang so bad? ”

In the data comparison chart released by the director, Li Feifei's average damage is 815, which is already terrifying, you must know that in the group stage, Li Feifei's average damage once exceeded the 900 mark!

Later, when it came to the knockout stage, there was no game of abusing vegetables, and the data naturally declined a little.

But even so.

Li Feifei's output accounts for 40.7% of the horror, which can be said to be one person who contracted nearly half of the team's damage!

On the other hand, Bang?

The average damage is only 593, not even 600, which is more than 200 lower than Li Feifei, and the team output accounts for only 35.3%.

This can also be a good illustration of Bang's predicament in this World Championship, in the group stage, when it was best to brush up the data, he was in a sluggish state and failed to pull the data up.

Then the quarterfinals and semifinals were also very embarrassing, which caused his data to be so ugly.

"I couldn't tell for a while, mortal or bang, who is the real output machine?" Longhair laughed and teased, "The performance of the mortal contestant this year is really enough to become a god!" ”

"I'd like to call it the strongest ADC performance in the history of the Worlds." Guan Zeyuan hurriedly praised, and of course did not forget to explain, "After all, there has never been a version of the World Championship that has focused so much on the lower road before, and mortal was born in a version that is most suitable for the lower lane to play!" He was undoubtedly lucky, too. ”

"This match can be said to be a spear and shield duel, it depends on who can come out on top and finally lift the championship trophy...... Next, let's hand over the screen to the commentary seat! ”

In the crisp sound of metal, the two sides quickly entered the BP picture.

The commentary configuration is two official commentators and one commentator, PDD is invited again, and the official commentators are Wang Remembering and Miller.

It can only be said that Wang remembers that he completely regarded the LPL region as the home team's emotional outpouring in the commentary seat, which won him the opportunity to better express himself, especially after IG eliminated Dragon Ball, the famous 'over the mountain' remark.

"Thank you to the commentators for the great commentary, and we are also very excited that the World Championship is coming to an end." Miller laughed and teased, "SKT is the last big mountain on the way to IG's championship, climb over this mountain!" The whole world can hear the story that belongs to IG! ”

PDD and Wang remember both laughing out loud.

The barrage is also rolling wildly.

[Good guys, IG alias the mountain team, right? ] 】

[One thing to say, this commentary combination is much more comfortable, and finally I don't have to listen to Lao Biwa say some nonsense. 】

[When you are one step ahead of the opponent, the damage is particularly high, you just say it's right. 】

[The king remembers well! Behave well, and strive to get a bastard like Lao Biwa out of the commentary seat! 】

Miller spoke again, "It's a pity that IG lost again when the two sides were drawing lots to pick sides, so SKT got the right to pick sides, and they will appear on the blue side in the first game." ”

"It's fine." PDD made a pig laugh and immediately made up for it, "We have an old saying in Sichuan, called the master is not the first one!" SKT took the dog luck on the side and wanted to return it in the game. ”

"SKT took the lead in sending Luo to the ban position, and in this version that lacks heroes to start a group, SKT obviously doesn't want to give this incense burner monster with offensive attributes to IG."

IG has nothing to say, banning Calista.

"SKT banned Lucian on the second floor, and IG also banned Jace backhanded."

"On the third floor, SKTban dropped Kalmar, and IG chose to block the Wind Girl, eh? Isn't Galio thinking about targeting it? Miller looked surprised.

After the semi-finals with RNG, Galio has changed his name to Galio online.

"Most likely, IG thinks he can handle it." Wang remembered and said, "Compared with Galio, IG may think that the strategic value of Windgirl is a little higher, and if SKT robs Galio, then the remaining good incense burner monster Lulu will be snatched away by IG." ”

No doubt.

SKT's side did directly grab Leo, but if he hesitated for a second, it was disrespectful to his proud disciple Lee Sang-hyuk.

Soon.

IG unsurprisingly locked Lulu, but did not rush out of the ADC, but grabbed a hand to fight the jungler prince first.

On SKT's side is Little Peanut, Little Peanut is more offensive than Little Black, so you can't give a hero like the prince to the opposite side, not to mention that there is already Galio on the other side.

The system of Prince + Galio is not only used by LPL teams, but also by SKT.

And SKT's choice is mouse + gem.

Just like Mouse + Luo, Mouse + Gem is also a combination, Gem will hang W to Mouse, and then Mouse will open Q to stealth in front of the opposite side, and Gem will open E again, but the line of this combination is very weak.

"Why don't you choose a big mouth?" Miller looked surprised, "IG grabbed Lulu, big mouth + Lulu was more fierce in the early stage, right?" ”

"There is a high probability that SKT doesn't want to fight with IG in the early and middle stages." Wang remembered to give his own answer.

Rats and big mouths, there is no doubt that the big mouths of the special effects outflow outfit are a little more powerful in the early and middle stages, but the big ones are definitely stronger in the late stage.

Very simple.

One is because the mouse can open Q stealth to play the first move, and the second is that the range of the mouse after opening the ultimate is longer than that of the big mouth, and in the late stage, the range is the combat power of the ADC.

Obviously, SKT is ready to fight for the later stage.

And on the third floor, IG really chose a big mouth.

The two sides entered the second round of BP.

IG's side targeted the jungler and sent all the barrels and pig girls to the ban position, while SKT took the initiative to ban Nar and Kenan, apparently ...... They don't want to win or lose with IG on the top lane.

There is a high probability that they themselves know that Suni is not Brother Sun's opponent at all.

IG can only choose the rock sparrow first, and since Bigmouth + Lulu has been selected, the whole team has to speed up in the middle of the term around Bigmouth and Lulu.

The choice on SKT's side is Shen + Blind Monk.

An ultimate defense system, the reason why the blind monk is chosen is because they need a hero who can help resist the early stage, and the blind monk is undoubtedly the best choice, and the blind monk is not cowardly in the face of the prince in the wild area.

In fact, there is an excavator that can also protect the early stage, but the hero of the excavator does not have the late stage, which is different for the blind monk.

The blind monk's team battle in the late stage is actually very weak, but it is flexible enough, and the ultimate can not only create miracles with a roundabout kick, but also protect the core C position, which is much better than the excavator.

SKT's lineup is prominent, and the blind monk is obviously more suitable than the excavator.

Moreover, all three SKT roads have the ability to cooperate with blind monks, so it can be said that ...... The buckle horse gave the little peanut a good space and stage to play.

It depends on whether the little peanut can grasp it.

And IG in the last hand,In fact, there is no good choice in the top single position,The two sides have banned a total of four top single heroes,Block all the long-handed single belt top single heroes that can be used in the current version。

The barbecue stall is clearly forcing IG to fight with them for team battle ability, rather than competing for the individual ability of both sides to list.

IG's choice is trolling.

The troll has a single hand, and he can also use a big move in the team battle to help his own C position quickly deal with the opponent's front row, although the big mouth has the ability to play the front row, but it is still a bit difficult to face the front row of SKT Shen + Galio's double tank.

The most important thing is that if there are AP damage-type heroes such as big bugs and big trees on the IG list, then the overall AP damage of the lineup is too much.

The benefits of the [Adaptive Helmet] on the SKT side are even greater, so it is necessary to neutralize the type of team damage.

Ultimately.

The lineups of the two sides have been officially determined.

SKT is on the blue side and IG is on the red side.

On the road: Shen VS Troll.

Jungler: Blind Monk VS Prince.

Mid lane: Galio VS Rock Sparrow.

Bottom Lane: Mouse + Gem VS Big Mouth + Lulu.

"SKT's lineup is still as good as ever, with a greater focus on the later stage, but they are not completely betting on the later stage, and their early ability is not bad." Wang remembers talking eloquently, "It belongs to a lineup that has both offense and defense, and there is nothing particularly outstanding." ”

SKT has been this BP mentality for the past few years, not so much what tactics they rely on to win games, but rather on on-the-spot performance and good team execution.

"On the other hand, IG's lineup focuses on the early and middle stages, and the rhythmic mid-laner like Rock Sparrow will definitely become more and more weak in the late stage, and Big Mouth is not a real big late shooter."

It can only be said that everyone's understanding of the game has gone up, and in the early days of League of Legends, Big Mouth was regarded as a big late shooter.

But as everyone's understanding of the game improves, they all find that this hero is not strong at all in the late stage.

Because the output is particularly dependent on W, once the duration of W has passed, the output of the Big Mouth drops by more than a notch.

Plainly.

Li Feifei can also understand the setting of the system, saying that everyone's game level and game understanding are improving year by year, so the data will be updated every year.

There is indeed a reason for this.

In the early years of the game, the team battle was a wave of all in to the end, so what was the pull?

Right now?

A team that can't be pulled in a team battle is not worthy of being a strong team, and now even the high-scoring passers-by in the high-score rank game know that teamfights are meant to be pulled.

From this, it can also be seen that the setting of the system is indeed very reasonable.

And for this reason, the lineup on IG's side can be said to be tailor-made for Big Mouth, Lulu won't say much, the two-speed bonus provided by W can make Big Mouth less easy to be kite-flyed.

And the prince's ultimate move can forcibly keep people, the troll's pillar can slow down, and the rock sparrow's ultimate move can block the road, all of which are to help the big mouth keep people, forcing the other side to fight with him.

With the lineup confirmed, the coaches of both sides are also seizing the time to make the final deployment.

The horse repeatedly advised, "Stabilize in the early stage!" Don't make mistakes, don't give the opposite side a chance, the pressure of the attack is on the IG side, once they try to attack, it is easy to make mistakes, and then it will be our chance! ”

Some players have made a very vivid analogy to League of Legends.

Anyone who has played League of Legends knows that whether it is a lane or a team fight, the more active the attacking side, the easier it is to make mistakes, because when you attack, you are also leaking your own flaws to the other side.

It's also easier for the side that defends against the counterattack to catch your flaws.

This move is SKT's magic weapon to defeat the enemy in the past few years, as for the opponent does not attack, what should I do?

Let's play the bladder game together, SKT has a wealth of experience in the arena, and there are also experienced players like Lee Sang-hyuk, so people are not afraid to play with you in the late stage.

As for IG's side, Mafa doesn't have much to tell, just a simple explanation.

"Just play normally, don't be nervous, don't have psychological pressure, it should be SKT who is under pressure, after all, for the vast majority of viewers, it is natural for them to win, and they will not be accepted by fans if they lose."

Mafa's words are to the point.

SKT has already left the audience with the impression of a winning general, who can accept that a winning general loses a game?

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

The world's strongest crown is a very gimmicky title, but the pressure it brings is also understandable.

The coaches on both sides left their seats at the same time and walked to the middle of the stage, the main stage was too big, and it took about ten seconds for both sides to walk to the middle, and the director first used a close-up shot to shake hands with the coaches of both sides with a close-up shot, and then switched the camera to the summoner's canyon.

Ten heroes on both sides appeared in the spring, Li Feifei knew that he would definitely give a close-up at this time, and his eyes quickly lit up a wave of IG team logos, commonly known as 'dog tags'!

As soon as they bought the equipment, both sides rushed out of the spring and rushed out to their own wild areas.

From the perspective of the combat effectiveness of the level 1 regiments on both sides, there is no doubt that SKT has a slight advantage, the main people have more control, Shen, Gem, and Galio all have AOE control, and the blind monk has its own slashing damage, and people can quickly reduce IG through chain control and damage.

Therefore.

The barbecue stall was more aggressive, and all of them rushed to the wild area of IG's house in a group.

Obviously, it is the route of wanting to catch the prince.

As one of the most flexible heroes in the current version of the jungler position, the prince does not need any early control from his online teammates, and he only needs level 2 to launch a gank on the line and pose a threat.

The prince may go to the upper, middle and lower three roads.

In order to avoid accidents, it is reasonable for barbecue stalls to choose to forcibly enter the wild area.

The two sides soon met in the wild area, and IG took a back down posture, and IG also knew that they couldn't beat each other.

However......

"Huh? faker, you're gods and demons!! ”

PS: Let me tell you, LPL is based on S8 as the dividing line, before S8, the rich second generation of President Wang is indeed strong, and it is indeed a dimensionality reduction blow in the e-sports circle, but after S8 entered the alliance of large capital, President Wang's money is really not enough, he is just a personal investment in e-sports, not Wanda investment in e-sports, a big reason for IG's subsequent downturn is that President Wang can't invest more money.

As for Su Xiaoluo, he can't do anything, and he can make the IG championship documentary into his personal promotional video.

More to come.
