Chapter 202: Warm Wine Slashes KZ!
When EDG arrived, the play-in tournaments had already been played, and there was no surprise that the teams from the two regions of Wanwan and Vietnam were qualified.
The team has been even happier since the team was kicked out of the five major regions.
I used to think about the bloodline of the S2 assassination star, and every time I cried my father and mother in the quarterfinals and the top 16 in the World Championship.
The glory of the ancestors was handed over to us, but it became this virtue!
We're heartbroken!
Every year, after the World Championship, there is basically a classic red bean paste private Marseille session.
It doesn't matter now.
We're wild cards, what's wrong with not being able to beat them? γPrideγ
Summed up in two simple words: swing!
So they didn't really have any pressure, but they played well in the wild cards.
And Vietnam is even more heavyweight.
Although this region is not a major region, it is basically the first wild card region.
Compared with the swinging bends, their combat effectiveness is really not bad.
Not only do there be players who can play some outstanding performances every year, but they can also stab the four major regions from time to time, which can be called a little expert in arrest.
The most famous one doesn't need to be mentioned, two words can explain it:
Dequeue!
"KZ seems to be fierce this year, and it is also very dominant on the LCK side, Khan was quite fierce last year, and it is even more fierce this year, can Smeb withstand it?"
"The mid-laner BDD is also very fierce, a genius mid-laner, and he is still very young."
"I'm not worried about the next road, the two elders of Xuan Ming are too old, and it's over waiting for the Yuan God to abuse them, but can Xiao Tian withstand Xiao Peanut?"
There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Xu Yuan put down his phone, he was not surprised.
At this time, they are about to usher in the first game, and the opponent is FNC.
Because the opponent is not strong. So he's very relaxed.
Although EDG has shown almost faulty dominance in the LPL, there are still many viewers who do not trust them.
Because even if he won the championship, the fear brought by the LCK still did not subside much.
After all, how many champions do you have in the division, and how many champions do you have?
In addition, "Riot is afraid that this game LPL will not be played, so it customized a version of the LPL on the lower road" Such remarks are noisy.
The strength of the LPL is doubtful in the eyes of the audience at this time.
At least it wasn't enough to convince them that EDG could abuse KZ casually.
KZ's lineup is not bad.
Top laner Khan is the de facto No. 1 top laner in this year's LCK Spring Tournament, and he has no opponents at all after Smeb's departure from the LPL.
Especially against SKT's new laner Thal, Khan beat Thal mercilessly.
SKT's level of youth training is still worthy of recognition, and Thal is not sick of everything.
But he just can't beat Khan.
And after the jungler little peanut left SKT, his original awkward style of play began to recover, and he once again had the unbeatable wild king style of S6.
His style of play can be described as a dimensionality reduction blow for the LCK jungler, and it is completely a hand-to-hand pinch.
Peanuts are not big, create myths!
Whenever someone thinks that Peanut is about to retire, the jungler in the LCK can always help Peanut prove that he is still dominant.
Mid laner, BDD.
Absolute Zoe pillar power, mid-laner proficiency like Sindra Raven is also excellent.
It is the single kill king of this year's LCK Spring Tournament, POG.
Especially in the face of Scout, last year's champion midlaner, BDD not only did not fall behind, but even completed a single kill.
It can be said that it is now being pinned on by many people in the LCK.
He thinks he has the potential to be the one to challenge Lee Sang-hyuk's status.
ADοΌPrayγ
One of the two elders of Xuan Ming, nicknamed "Rat King".
"A basket, Rat King? The title of thief, Lao Tzu beat him with only one hand, pure CJB. β
Xu Yuan still remembered the disdainful look of imp at that time.
In fact, it is really normal for IMP to look down on Pray, because Pray does not have a world championship and does not have many league championships.
But because of the seniority, the popularity in the LCK is outrageous.
How tall is it?
In the selection of S7 All-Star AD.
S6 runner-up AD, Samsung genius newcomer Ruler, failed.
S5S6 won two world championships in a row, but failed.
I didn't have any championships, but because of the highly qualified pray, I was elected.
There is no champion, but it has stolen the name of the champion rat of the IMP.
Naturally, IMP couldn't have had too high an opinion of him.
In fact, Xu Yuan felt that it was okay for IMP to look down on Pray, because he also looked down on him.
Isn't this just a copy of Uzi?
Even Uzi's honor is higher than that of Pray.
You LCKs also have their own Uzi, right?
LCK is really blessed and spicy!
As for the support Gorrila, this one is also a veteran supporter.
Actually, it's not a pit, but it's not C.
One support above the average line.
The overall feeling of KZ is that there are not many shortcomings, which is why many people think that KZ is fierce.
After all, a team with no shortcomings, this must be fierce.
However, Xu Yuan felt ......
If there are no disadvantages, it shouldn't mean that there must be any advantages, right?
Players, ready to take the stage.
Today's opponents have nothing to say, they are all old acquaintances.
Among the five EDG people, Xiao Tian is a real newcomer to the World Championship. The other four are basically Lao Deng.
Xu Yuan's qualifications may be a little less.
So it's also clear how much strength today's opponent has.
It didn't take much effort at all, and I easily completed the speedrun on FNC in 24 minutes.
Xu Yuan gave FNC a head very face-saving so that they would not be kept clean.
The rhythm has been controlled by EDG throughout the game, and it is relatively easy to win.
However, what is more surprising is that Lee Sang-hyuk in the middle has had some problems and has always been at a disadvantage.
"Are you alright?"
Xu Yuan held Lee Sang-hyuk without a trace at the first time after the end of the game and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe it's a little cold, it's not a big deal."
Lee Sang-hyuk shook his head slightly.
Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were still quite bright.
It's just a little weaker than before.
"He's very powerful, if I don't catch a cold, it's probably a tie."
Xu Yuan knew who this "he" in Lee Sang-hyuk's mouth was.
Talented midlaner from FNC, Caps.
Caps, known as the little hat, the hat emperor.
Although he has a cheerful personality and loves to laugh, he seems harmless to humans and animals.
However, the talent of this player should be the best in Europe.
"He's a genius who surpasses all European and American singles."
Here's what others are saying about Caps.
In fact, it's pretty much the same.
Caps can win those European and American midlaners no matter how they play, and they also led G2 to win the MSI championship in S9 and entered the finals of the S competition in the same year.
This is the first time that the European and American divisions have entered the finals so many years after the ancient S1.
And when he was in the quarterfinals and semifinals, he took turns to be a mid-laner in the bean curd LCK, and even S9's Lee Sang-hyuk was brutally beaten by Caps.
Silas single-handedly humiliated the LCK to the fullest.
At the moment, the young Caps has a strong pressure on the line, and Lee Sang-hyuk's current style is more team-oriented, and it is difficult to play this kind of top-level line midlaner anymore.
This is the case when playing IG at home, and Rookie also gave Lee Sang-hyuk a big threat.
However, it is precisely because of Rookie that even if the state is a little bad today, Lee Sang-hyuk still withstood Caps.
Because Rookie's suppressive power is much more terrifying than Caps!
In order not to drag the team back, Lee Sang-hyuk worked a lot.
"Everybody has it at the pinnacle."
Xu Yuan smiled, didn't care, and quietly helped him off the stage.
The young Caps are naturally fierce now, but the old Caps are not as good as Lee Sang-hyuk.
"What's wrong?"
KKOMA saw Xu Yuan's movements and frowned.
"He seems to have a cold."
Xu Yuan said immediately.
KKOMA nodded and put his hand on the forehead of Lee Sang-hyuk, who had an ugly face.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's not particularly serious."
"Yuan, let's interview you later, I'll ask the staff to take us to the hospital."
KKOMA admonished and prepared to take Lee Sang-hyuk to the hospital with Abu.
"Ten o'clock in the evening, game."
Lee Sang-hyuk frowned and signaled that he was fine.
There are only three or four hours left, and it's too late to go to the hospital now.
He's a midlaner, and if he's not there, the game won't be played.
EDG will be automatically judged negative.
This is not what Lee Sang-hyuk wants to see.
Moreover, the opponent in the second game today is still KZ.
When he is gone, the emergency substitution rule will be triggered, and the substitute player with the team will play the mid-laner.
The odds of winning will be slim.
KKOMA knew him and knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
So he asked solemnly.
"Are you sure you can live in support?"
"Well, it's okay, it's okay to drag it out, I'll just take a little rest for a few hours."
Lee Sang-hyuk nodded.
He did think it was okay, it wasn't a big deal when he first played, at most he was a little sluggish.
"Okay then."
Kkoma sighed.
In fact, I also explained it before the departure, but the contestants are not accustomed to the soil and water, and this kind of thing can not be avoided with experience.
No matter how powerful he is on the field, he is still an ordinary person after leaving the game, and there is still a probability of being affected.
Heo Yuan returned to the lounge after the interview, and was not surprised to see Lee Sang-hyuk asleep on the sofa.
The lounge was quiet, and the players spoke softly to the coaching staff.
"He doesn't want to go to the hospital because he's going to hit KZ soon?"
Xu Yuan asked Meiko in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Meiko nodded helplessly.
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, only feeling that Lee Sang-hyuk was indeed worthy of his success.
"It's fine."
"We'll take his command."
"Let's hit KZ next, let's kill it on the next road."
He spoke.
Now that his teammates have chosen to persevere, what else is there to say?
Win it!
At 9:40 p.m., the players were ready to play.
Xiao Tian woke up Lee Sang-hyuk at the signal of KKOMA.
A few hours of rest made his face look a lot better.
It also made Ming Kai breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Lee Sang-hyuk is not holding on, it is indeed just a little problem.
Putting on the headphones, Xu Yuan lost his usual smile on his face, only seriousness.
"Let's pick a little bit more aggressive in the bottom lane."
He spoke.
"Okay."
Kkoma knew exactly what he meant.
Although Lee Sang-hyuk's condition has improved, he has not been to the hospital for a check-up after all, and no one knows what kind of situation it is.
This must be done as soon as possible.
Although KZ is very strong, Xu Yuan has always had absolute confidence in himself.
The MSI of the S7 is much more difficult to play than the MSI this time.
And yet he won.
"Oh? The players on EDG's side are very serious. β
The commentary is somewhat unexpected.
Usually, whenever the camera cuts to EDG's side, you can always see Xu Yuan's faint smile, and the other teammates don't have many dignified expressions.
Today, however, is completely different.
Not only Lee Sang-hyuk's face is ugly [uncomfortable].
Even Xu Yuan, who likes to laugh, has become so serious.
Could it be ......
EDG also thinks, is KZ difficult to fight?
The barrage basically feels the same way, and the post in the anti-bar immediately appeared.
"I've never seen Yuanzi show such an expression before, could it be that the effect of playing KZ in the training match is not very good?"
"It's possible, but it's not big, how can KZ play a training match with EDG, the first day of the main match is his match with EDG."
"Is there someone who is in a bad state? Brother Li's performance at six o'clock in the afternoon is not ideal, this is a quarrel in the lounge? β
βοΌοΌ Unlikely! β
"It's true, I'm a staff member of Tengjing! Just now, backstage, Xu Yuan asked Lee Sang-hyuk why he played so poorly today, and whether it was to pave the way for losing to LCK Jingzhong to serve the country. β
"Indeed, I was at the scene, Lee Sang-hyuk was very angry at the time, and he fought with Xu Yuan on his backhand, and Xiao Tian's excitement also joined, Tian Ye touched a baseball bat from nowhere, handed it to Xu Yuan, and shouted that he played well, and Smeb chose to help Lee Sang-hyuk, but he failed to win the lower lane group."
"It's true, I'm the baseball bat."
The ability of people to associate is very strong.
It was just because the players' faces were a little more serious that they couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with EDG.
This is also the reason why Xu Yuan used to smile when he came to the stage even if he was in a big predicament.
If you have a smile, fans will feel more or less at ease.
Merely...... It's still a bit outrageous to think of players fighting in the lounge.
"See you again, Sang-hyuk."
On the KZ player's seat, Little Peanut's eyes were a little complicated.
From his point of view, the S7's time at SKT was not particularly uncomfortable.
Although because I have to change my playing style, I sometimes get confused.
But after everything was over, KKOMA also officially apologized to him.
So Little Peanut has long felt that there is nothing.
I was quite happy during my time at SKT, and my teammates weren't particularly difficult people to get along with.
However, what Little Peanut never dreamed of was that Lee Sang-hyuk actually joined the LPL club.
Even if the contract is most likely only a one-year contract, this may be too small.
Before the official announcement, if anyone told Little Peanut like this, Little Peanut definitely felt that he was farting.
"Fight hard today, yo hoo ~ Is it Savior again? I've always had a good impression of this player, cheer up! β
βSmebοΌ I'm not going to lose again this year! β
Khan beside Little Peanut screamed, and the whole person was already excited.
He is a very lively person.
"It's noisy, brother."
BDD's expressionless opening.
"Haha? Why is it so serious? BDD, we'll see you play later! β
Khan roared and laughed.
Confronted with a formidable foe!
He's a ...... It's so hihilarious!
BP begins!
This time, EDG's luck was unexpectedly good, and they got the blue side they wanted.
With the update, the priority of some heroes in the MSI version has been greatly increased, and one of them is worth mentioning.
That is, the crow that has been reworked.
Not only has the name changed from the original Strategist Commander to the current Noxian Commander, but the row is much larger.
Skills have also been completely reworked.
The revised Raven's ultimate doesn't even eat the effect of heavy damage, and in one fell swoop it has become a casting that can be compared to an absolute Fatan core like Ruiz.
Version priority has been raised to T1.
As for the knife girl who has also completed the rework?
Many players have no proficiency at all and can't get out.
Lee Sang-hyuk's proficiency is okay, but he is not in good shape today.
The reworked Knife Girl is a hero who eats the state of operation very much.
"Rock Sparrow."
Coach KKOMA did not hesitate at all, and directly pressed the rock sparrow of the little peanut with his first hand.
The jungler has been strong for a long time, and it has a good win rate in the face of the equally excellent version of the pig girl prince jungler.
Moreover, the Rock Sparrow's ultimate can block the road, which can give the team a terrain advantage in the battle for key resources such as the Vanguard or the Great Dragon Regiment.
Little Peanut's AP jungler has been playing well, but it's just that it's rarely played.
Someone may be asking:
Hey? How does EDG know that?
Let's take a look at who EDG's current coach is!
KKOMA has brought Little Peanut for a year, and he still doesn't know what kind of hero Little Peanut will be.
"Verus."
After a short period of thought, Coach KZ decided to press Verus.
The strength of his own road is not particularly high, he knows this.
So to be on the safe side, it is necessary to take apart a strong playstring combination like Verusbron.
If the ability to align the line is insufficient, it depends on BP to make up.
"Can the captain put it? If you let it go, you're going to put pressure on the other side on the wing. β
Coach kkoma asked at Smeb.
"Let's move."
"Team battles destroy them faster, Sanghyuk is in this situation now, let's still play a team, otherwise I'm afraid of being caught head-on."
Smeb shook his head.
Lee Sang-hyuk is not in a good state now, and there may be problems when he pulls four or four frontally, because his thinking is very sluggish after catching a cold.
If you want to complete the speedrun on KZ, it's better to play a group.
Even if Lee Sang-hyuk is now burned. There will be no problem with team battles and controls.
Smeb is not afraid of kahn, and if he has the chance, he will definitely come to fight the captain with a sword.
But this one is a special one.
His thoughts were the same as Xu Yuan's, and he quickly won and sent people to the hospital for examination.
"Okay."
Kkoma nodded slightly, and pressed the captain off with his second hand.
Khan's eyebrows fluttered.
"My captain is really good!"
EDG is taking the initiative to move my captain, can't it explain how good I am?
"Morgana."
Coach KZ completely ignored Khan's harassy words, and after thinking for a while, he chose to press Morgana.
Although it is not a complete soft auxiliary version, the soft auxiliary is still strong.
Soft auxiliaries such as Star Mom and Morgana Karma are now a lot more important.
On the contrary, the Wind Maiden's shield was slashed again.
This is also a classic of the designer, making a fuss around the shield of the wind girl.
And the designer really scrapped it for a few years.
In the past few years, the shield of the Wind Girl is basically like the W of the Qin Girl, and there is a kind of beauty that consumes 80 points of blue and 20 points of blood.
So much so that he was ridiculed as a toilet style, and he only deserved to squat in the toilet and be stepped on by other soft auxiliary Jimei like Stinky Fish and Lulu.
"Zoe."
EDG's third hand, kkoma chose to target BDD's unique skill, Zoe.
When is Zoe a hero?
In fact, it was launched in the preseason version of S7, and it is really not a new hero.
It's just that there are very few people playing in S8's spring game.
Because the game is fundamentally different from the Rank.
There is a problem with Zoe's Poke midlaner, that is, once the skill is empty, there is no such person.
Even if you are Zoe in the six god costumes, as long as the skill is empty, there is no B output.
At most, rely on the lich's effect A for someone else.
Although it is still a bit of a "small pain" for the back row.
But for the front row of tanks...... What is it?
Most of the midlaners in the game need to take into account the output of team battles, otherwise the output pressure on AD will be too great.
And Zoe's output is too unstable.
The pros are already excellent in positioning, and the E-skill hypnotic bubble is the only means of control, and the hit rate is even lower.
E misses, Q misses.
Super God Zoe is like a super soldier.
That's the downside of Zoe.
Now, except for some unique brothers, Zoe's lineup will definitely be matched with EZ and use the double POKE system.
Even on the road, there is a Jace, playing three POKE system.
Zoe alone is actually very poor, so the selection rate is very low.
But as I said earlier.
"Except for some of the best guys".
BDD is such a Zoe brother.
BDD and Cild are known as the two best brothers in LCK. It's Zoe.
He's not the kind of garbage guy who sweats when he plays a thousand points in the passerby bureau.
He is the kind of top-level guy who can almost beat the supergod even if he takes out Zoe in the game.
Even if you lose, it's an absolute best effort.
How strong is this person's Zoe?
S11's BDD is no longer a top midlaner, but he took Zoe to kill the LNG midlaner Icon at that time into a dog, crazy single-handed.
directly beat the cold young man at that time into a cold dish.
After the game, Leng Shao was caricatured as "the man who added vegetables to Leng Shao".
[In the past, many people blew WE's ADC smile, and the most commonly used saying is that the smile is the man who adds C to AD, and later it is used to ridicule because it is too outrageous, such as pandac, "the man who adds c to panda"]
In the game with TL, BDD played a wave of blind vision flying stars that amazed the world, and his confidence was terrifying.
Clid Zaina also has a blind monk who can swim dragons, and BDD Zaina also has a hand that Zoe can kill indiscriminately.
So kkoma naturally pressed.
Lee Sang-hyuk had an accident, so he naturally had to respect his opponent.
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Zoe was gone, BDD didn't have any expression.
Too many people moved his Zoe and got used to it.
"Karma."
KZ's coach didn't hesitate to speak, and chose to press off Karma in the third hand.
The reason for pressing down on Kalmar is simple, the EZ Kalmar is too strong.
The current version already has the gameplay of Double Repair EZ.
Out of the two goddess tears, one is a demon and the other is an archangel.
When the two pieces of equipment are stacked, the combat power provided to EZ is far beyond that of an ordinary two-piece set.
The damage can be said to be ridiculously high.
This gameplay was developed by RNG's current substitute ADC Walking A Monster.
"Oh? In this case, Xia is released, will EDG choose to take Xia Luo here? If you grab Xia, the opposite side is likely to get a combination like Casa Gallo, and the line may not be easy to play. β
The narrator couldn't help frowning.
Kasumi can indeed be taken but a single Kasumi can be played at most, without the dominance of Xialuo.
In addition, after the S7 fight, Xia Luo itself has been weakened, so a grab of Xia is not a good choice in the eyes of the commentator.
KKOMA is also thinking about this.
He trusted Xu Yuan and believed that he could play a sufficient suppressive effect with Naxia.
But Kasumi's biggest problem with Kai'Sa is that she is not flexible enough, and her ultimate is not to rush into battle but to protect herself.
So once the disadvantage is over, Xia's basic ultimate move is rushed out in the first round, and then there is no means to save life or displacement.
"You'll choose it, right?"
In North America at this moment, Bae Jun-sik was drinking cold juice comfortably, looking at the screen without blinking.
Although he didn't get into MSI this year, he was very satisfied with his life in North America.
There is not so much pressure, and the daily training is all based on self-consciousness and a comfortable amount.
And the money taken is also quite a bit.
What could be cooler than that?
He already regretted it a little, regretting why he was so late.
Seeing the opponent who once made his blood boil reappear in MSI, Bae Junzhi's mentality at this time has been very calm.
Recalling that rare time of active struggle, he also felt a little emotional.
Really a strong player!
This is his evaluation of Xu Yuan.
So he has reason to believe that even if Xia's current situation is not good, but since KZ is released, Xu Yuan will still take it.
"Take it."
"Kasumi."
The quiet young man as usual sounded, Xu Yuan didn't look back, and spoke flatly.
"It's over in twenty minutes, trust me."
"Those who dare to take Kai'Sa in front of me generally don't end well."
Kasumi Danna is indeed not strong, but Kasumi Kasha is an absolute counter.
This is something that does not need to be questioned.
If KZ is really willing to let them go down the road and be countered by themselves, then Xu Yuan thinks that there is no problem with Xuan Xia.
As for Lowe?
Trivia, Luo's W hasn't been strengthened yet.
Now the forward swing of Luo W is about 0.5 seconds slower than that of Luo after S12.
What can be done in 0.5 seconds?
Xu Yuan can not eat a w.
That's his self-confidence.
ββ¦β¦β
Lee Sang-hyuk silently held his forehead and didn't say a word.
He was still a little uncomfortable.
But at the same time, it was also very touching.
The concern of his teammates for him made him seem to have a force in his body out of thin air.
"Then, take your pick!"
KKOMA saw that Xu Yuan was so resolute, and he didn't say more.
The next moment, in the first-hand position belonging to EDG, there was a reverse feather. Kasumi's figure!
At the same moment, directly locked!
Lock in seconds!
KKOMA expressed his trust in Xu Yuan with practical actions.
"Sure enough! EDG's side is directly selected Kasumi! β
"Champion Kasumi! That's that confident! β
The voice of the narrator suddenly became louder.
Some people's signature heroes won't be useless just because the version is targeted.
Champion AD Skin Hero, that's it.
No matter what version, no matter how many knives are nerfed.
As long as I want to take it, as long as you don't press it.
I'm sorry for not hesitating for a second.
Lock!
This is the confidence that only the champion will have!
"We only have twenty minutes left, so it should be fine, right?"
Xu Yuan smiled for the first time and spoke.
"There was also hot water in the lounge that I poured. I hope the water is still warm after beating. β
Xiaotian is also a king of, which makes Xu Yuan a little untenable.
What are you going to do with this warm wine and cut KZ?
"It's really locked?!"
Coach KZ was taken by surprise.
No. Is it really that confident?
(End of chapter)
