"Who are you supporting today?"

"Needless to say? It's definitely RNG. ”

"But I like Reaper so much, I feel like he's different from all the LPL players."

"But he's not an LPL player."

Oriental Sports Center, inside the venue.

The venue was open and 15,000 people were full.

Compared with yesterday's opening day, today's MSI scene is more lively, the atmosphere is explosive, and the influence and popularity of the first day of the MSI event are soaring.

Moreover, in today's schedule, the official specially arranged for the final finale matchup is the RNGVSSKT that everyone is looking forward to in the spring.

Chen Sheng VS the old club.

It can be said that the topic is full of heat, and the audience is waiting for this last big drama to be staged.

Therefore, for the whole day today, the events of other teams were a little lacking in interest.

SKT's first game of the day was in the second game, against the wild card SUP, and won easily, staging a wave of 'World Smash Bros.) for the audience.

RNG also won in the third game.

In this way, wait until nine o'clock in the evening, and today's sixth and final finale officially begins.

……

"Welcome back, then after a day of fierce battles, the second day of the MSI group stage is still full of battles."

"At present, SKT and RNG are both ranked first in the group stage of this MSI with a winning record, so today's final battle will also determine who of the two teams will be the first to reach NO1."

LPL commentary seat.

Guan Zeyuan, Rita, and Remember that the three appeared in front of the camera.

After commenting on the two games in the second half of today, the three of them were a little dry at the moment, but they were not tired at all, but they were more and more energetic.

RNGVSSKT。

In fact, not only the outside audience, but also the officials, the LPL commentators who are in the center of the whirlpool, have been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Yes, in terms of current form, SKT and RNG won their first match today as winners, and it can be seen that both teams are in very good shape at the moment."

I remember to compare: "Who is the king and the little king of this MSI, maybe this dispute will start in the 'decisive battle' that will start soon." ”

"That's right, and..."

Rita painted delicate makeup and smiled, "We all know... RNG and SKT's starting top laner Reaper... It's an old friend. ”

"Hmm..."

When this topic was mentioned, everyone was subconsciously silent.

It's time to come, but it's still coming after all.

Everyone is looking forward to a spring, and the LPL division has been waiting for a spring of 'traitor cleanup', and this moment has finally officially begun.

The audience was like a chicken blood, and the shouts of "RNG come on" instantly swept the audience.

Even the SKT crowd who had just received the director's notice and was about to step on the stage was stunned.

"What a cheer... Worthy of the home team. ”

Li Zaiwan shook his little fat hand: "But the more this kind of home team, the more exciting it is to fight." ”

"Library, huh?"

Bae Jun-sik smiled next to him and patted Lee Jae-wan's shoulder hard.

"Hiss~!"

"You tap."

Lee Jaewan's tears of pain were about to come out, and his eyes glanced at Bae Junzhi, as well as Lee Sang-hyuk and Chen Yiqiu, who were casually doing something.

God knows how many openings he has now, all thanks to Pei Junzhi, Lee Sang-hyuk, and Chen Yiqiu last night.

"Let's go, let's go, play better today, and go back and ask someone to invite you to dinner."

"Come on, come on."

"Rush rush."

Kkoma beckoned, and the SKT crowd stepped onto the stage.

Moments later, BP officially began.

In today's showdown with RNG, SKT is on the red side and RNG is on the blue side.

As soon as it came up, the RNG team decisively came to a wave of fixed ban positions for this MSI to play SKT by default.

Kenhime, Jace, and then Bang's Wheel Mom.

SKT, on the other hand, banned Big Tree, Bobby, and Lisandro.

Aimed at the current top laner of RNG Looper.

This player has an extremely well-rounded personality and is also extremely good at functional singles.

Chen Yiqiu wants to open up the situation in this game, and he definitely can't let it go to heroes like the opponent's big tree.

It's not that you can't beat it, but once you are selected, it's basically difficult to have a fierce conflict on the road.

"Is SKT scared? Haha, directly banned two top orders. ”

RNG in-team voice.

When the spicy fragrant pot saw SKT's hand, he couldn't help laughing.

"Looper is really strong, and Reaper has to be taken seriously when he comes."

Xia Lu unintentionally bared his teeth and licked: "It's up to you today, if you can beat Reaper on the road, I think you are the hero in the eyes of everyone in the LPL." ”

"Do your best."

Looper is a quiet person in private.

At the same time, he didn't really want to get involved too much in the mess on the RNG team. So when Chen Yiqiu was there, the two didn't communicate much.

Of course, this does not hinder his desire to survive as the S4 World Championship champion.

I heard that Reaper is very beautiful in the LCK right now... He's wanted to fight the fighter for a long time, too.

"Take Lucian first, and then see how you choose on the other side."

RNG coach Fly spoke in awkward Chinese.

RNG's side took the lead in getting Lucian in the bottom lane.

Seeing this, SKT got the jungler Qianjue, as well as the mid-lane Ruiz.

"The selection on both sides still seems to be biased towards the heroes who have been hot lately."

Seeing this, commentator Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "At present, the road is still a big attraction, and Reaper's performance in SKT this season is obvious to all. ”

"And RNG cleverly chose to target Reaper, but Chen Sheng's hero pool... It's very deep, this person can bring Olaf and Riven to the professional arena. ”

"So I think the choice of the next road should determine the real rhythm and tactics of SKT's game."

"Yes, then... Oh~! Little Tiger! ”

Remember the "oh" sound.

But it was RNG's little tiger who directly locked the mid-laner demon queen in seconds when it was his turn to choose someone.

Mid laner Enchantress...

One of Faker's most iconic heroes, and the Carry hero in the early and mid-game main lanes that rarely appears in this version.

As a 'fledgling' newcomer in the World Championship, facing the big demon king for the first time, Xiaohu seems to be surprisingly confident.

Bang la blah.

The applause from the audience was thunderous, and the cheers of RNG instantly crushed all sounds.

"Little Tiger! Little Tiger! ”

"Xiaohu, a very confident picker, locked LeBlanc in seconds against the Great Demon King of Ruiz... What kind of surprise does this strange mid-laner from the LPL region want to bring us? ”

The commentators of the European division try to exaggerate the game.

Meanwhile.

SKT in-team voice.

Bae Jun-sik: "Sang-hyuk, your wife was robbed." ”

Lee Sang-hyuk: "? ”

Chen Yiqiu: "It's okay, there are many wives like him." ”

Lee Sang-hyuk: "...... Do you two appreciate the power of the word 'yah'? ”

"Ah, Sang-hyuk, how old are you this year?"

"Hahaha."

The SKT crowd was very relaxed, and Kkoma smiled without holding back, and then commanded: "Jun Zhi takes the mouse first, and then... Yiqiu, do you want to give Ike? ”

"Yes."

Chen Yiqiu's hero pool is indeed very deep, Riven Olaf can play this version of the sewer, and Ike's version of the popular hero is naturally no problem.

“OK。”

Kkoma nodded.

Then SKT locked the mouse, and when the opposite side finished selecting the top single barrel, he took out Ike.

- "Time is not about how much you have, but how you use it." ”

A mocking face similar to someone's 7 points appears in the floor screen effect, and the audience is slightly noisy.

"Ike... I didn't expect this hand, although Ike is a popular hero in the version, Reaper doesn't seem to have played much before. ”

In the LCK commentary seat, the Roaring Emperor looked at SKT's selection and said softly: "And Ike has been weakened a little in version 6.8, and now it is mostly in the middle lane, SKT..."

But his tone grew excited: "Reaper is really a treasure player, you never think he can come up with any heroes." ”

"That's right."

Li Xianjing next to him said with a smile: "Similarly, Ike is a hero with strong ability to walk and push the line, and after being selected, you can see that T1's focus in the early and middle stages of this game will still be on the upper road." ”

"The rhythm is driven by Ike on the road, and the double C develops in the later stage and takes over the game."

"Yes, but compared to other heroes, Ike is a meatman, which is very rare for Reaper, I originally thought he would pull out a very violent bloody hero when facing RNG."

Bttdol, another commentator, laughed and shook his head.

Everyone smiled and got what he meant.

Meanwhile.

The two sides on the field also determined the final hero player.

The lineup of the match has been decided, which are:

Blue RNG: Top Single Wine Barrel, Jungler Blind Monk, Mid Lane Enchantress, Bottom Lane Lucian + Bull Head.

Red side SKT: Top laner Ike, jungler Qianjue, mid lane Ruiz, bottom lane mouse + Tamu.

Compared with the two, from the perspective of the lineup on paper, SKT is more stable, and RNG is a fierce early and mid-stage fast attack lineup.

Whether it is a blind monk or a demon queen, or Lucian, they are all the kind of heroes who are extremely early in the middle of the period.

"It was really unexpected..."

The game screen loaded, and the scene was already resounding with almost one-sided cheers.

“RNG！ RNG！ ”

"RNG come on! RNG wins! ”

"Come on, little tiger! Come on to the incense pot! ”

Zhao Enjing, who knows a little about the BP lineup, said.

"Do Reaper players have to play steadily in this game?"

Jin Wen and I didn't understand: "Can't Ike output?" ”

"Since Ike came out, he has always been the most of the meat."

Zhao Enjing explained.

Then he looked at the big screen and covered his ears at the same time: "...... Let's look forward to seeing what they do. ”

"It's really noisy, why doesn't anyone cheer for T1."

Kim, I also looked left and right.

I didn't think it was before the game started, but now that the game starts, it feels like they are all RNG fans up and down, left and right, and all around.

Really home.

……

"It's so noisy, I want this to be a library!"

Enter the game.

Lee Jae-wan felt the piercing RNG scream through the sound-isolating headphones.

"Zaiwan, don't be so grumpy."

Bang Le said, "I think you can start a little lighter." ”

"Because of this game, someone is going to hit hard, I don't say who."

Chen Yiqiu: "......"

That's how you usually think about me?

But...

"Ike's output is stronger than meat now."

With his teammates in the second half of the river, Chen Yiqiu walked to the line, while thinking about the changes in this version of Ike.

Since the launch of the hero Ike, due to the bias of S5 and S6 versions in the past two years, Ike has been on the road and seems to have become the mainstream.

So far, Ike's outfit in the professional arena has been nearly 100% fixed in the three-piece set of Sunfire, Ice Boxing, and Green Armor.

There are many benefits to this, the perfect fit version, the small pieces are extremely cost-effective, and Ike's personal hero base damage is very high, which is a typical example of meat and output.

However, in version 6.8 of MSI, Ike's base damage has been weakened, and AP damage has been greatly increased.

Therefore, at present, Ike has a tendency to prefer to go mid-laner, and many players with flexible brains have begun to try.

And Chen Yiqiu's Ike idea is very simple, he doesn't plan to go through the conventional meat stream, but prepares the three-piece AP output stream with the staff of time, Luden, and the scourge of the lich as the core.

In other words, he intends to play the mid-laner Ike that has not yet come out.

While the burst damage is extremely high, there is no shortage of his own frankness, and he will also evolve into a real assassin in the arena, which is breathtaking.

"Sang-hyuk, you pay more attention, I feel that the previous period should be crazy against you."

When he came online, he saw that the wine barrel opposite had not yet been launched, and Chen Yiqiu told Lee Sang-hyuk.

"Huh?"

Faker was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "OK, I see." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Yiqiu nodded.

The state of the spicy fragrant pot is now at its peak, and with Xiaohu, the two of them are extremely eye-catching in the middle field of this MSI, and few teams can withstand it.

RACE TIME: 2:03S.

The Upper Trooper Line is officially contacted, and Looper's barrel is unveiled in Kankan.

From this small detail, you can get a glimpse of Looper's style.

- Steady, extremely steady, at the same time clear thinking, unassuming and headache-inducing at the same time.

The barrel went on the road in this version, except for Chen Yiqiu, who used a nuclear bomb barrel in the LCK Spring Showdown, almost all the players went to the tank stream.

In other words, the top lane of the RNG game is still the functional hero that Looper is most familiar with.

Ike can develop very steadily against a hero like the lane, but it is extremely difficult to find more opportunities in the lane period.

Coupled with the fact that the ID on the opposite side is still Looper, it is not surprising that there will be a lot less footage on the road in this game.

But...

That's for someone else.

In Chen Yiqiu's thinking and cognition, going on the road has never been a peaceful road.

Just because you can't find an opportunity now doesn't mean you won't find it forever.

So.

The four-minute alignment period has passed.

Ike fought against the barrel for a few waves, but it was all resolved by Looper with the basic skills of alignment, as long as the barrel pinched E, it was difficult for Ike to play an absolute advantage.

"Assi."

Meanwhile.

Lee Sang-hyuk in the middle of the lane scolded for the first time.

Chen Yiqiu looked at it, and it turned out to be a spicy incense pot that came to the middle twice in four minutes, and directly hit Ruiz flash.

“…… Obediently, with this strength, Liu Shiyu is only going to do it today? ”

Chen Yiqiu smacked his tongue in his heart, and at the same time, when his eyes turned back to the road, his heart moved.

Here's your chance.

At this moment, the situation of the lane on the road is to connect the ** line, slightly pushing to the state of RNG, but the line power is controlled by Ike.

Both Looper's barrel and Ike have reached level three.

In fact, Chen Yiqiu wanted to get stuck in a wave of experience when he was at the third level, but he was predicted by Looper in advance and ended up without a problem.

Up to now, the barrel is in a similar state to Ike, both of them are about half blood, and the consumables and blue amount on his body are not very good.

——Facing Chen Yiqiu, Looper has been forced to fight during this time.

According to the normal way of playing, the barrel should not go home until at least one wave of lines.

But Looper is different, in Chen Yiqiu's pre-game research, it was found that once Looper encounters an uncomfortable matching, he will return to the city as soon as possible to replenish his equipment, and then go online in a comfortable attitude.

Moreover, the time point of return to the city that the other party is looking for is very accurate, which can be called world-class.

This is the case with the current state of the line, the cooldown of the first-level Q skill of the barrel is 11S, and Chen Yiqiu remembers the time of the Q skill with the upper wave very clearly.

So the other party's Q should be immediately better.

Within 3S.

This line, the barrel Q can be cleared in one wave, and then return to the city, replenish the equipment, and TP will go online again.

It's a perfect blue-collar conservative play.

But...

Waiting for this line, waiting for you to put Q.

After visually measuring the distance, Chen Yiqiu retreated to the shadow of the upper side of the vision.

Looper took a few conservative steps back, and then Q turned around and immediately rolled over to stop his troops.

Meanwhile.

Hah, huh!

Ike, who took a few steps back, suddenly rolled with an E skill, and QA hit instantly.

The two-stage displacement is close to the face, and the Q skill accurately hits the barrel.

"Want to move me?"

Looper was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted quickly, and the barrel pushed an E skill towards Ike's face.

Almost at the same time.

"Bang".

A yellow glow lit up.

Chen Yiqiu dodged the fatal stun of the barrel in a second flash, and at the same time made a third blow from behind.

Hit the three rings, Q swirls and scratches the barrel again.

The barrel is slowed down while the state is visibly dropped.

"Not good..."

Looper's eyelids jumped.

He didn't expect Chen Yiqiu's reaction to be so outrageous, and he could react to his face and dodge his E?

This wave of kegs E and Q are gone, and in this state, only two ranged soldiers are attacking Ike.

In his state, something is going to happen this time.

Looper was glued and walked a few steps, handing over his flash.

But Chen Yiqiu's Ike had already hit the three rings, his own movement speed increased dramatically, and he chased a few steps closely, and at the same time released a W in front of the keg.

The most central path was directly blocked, and Looper's eyes were stunned: "It's over..."

Ike caught up with the barrel, AA twice, and completely relied on the W seal movement and his own movement speed bonus to stick to the other party.

Ike in version 6.8 has been weakened with passive base damage, but the cooldown is still 3S.

chased the wine barrel all the way, and after 3S, under the wine barrel into his own defense tower, Chen Yiqiu had already cut out a third ring again.

Looper who escaped in embarrassment with a knife.

Boom.

[SKT Reaper killed RNG Looper!] 】

【First Blood！ 】

First blood.

"On the road... Reaper singled out Looper online! ”

"How did Ike kill this wave of barrels?! Can Ike eat a barrel alone for four minutes online in this version?! ”

“…… Reaper gets the first blood of the game! ”

There was an uproar outside the venue.

All the commentators and audiences of LPL were even more stunned.

Before the start of this game, everyone thought that there should not be too many single conflicts in the early stage of the road.

Can...

Reaper, are you really?!

Let you start lightly, you have to put such a heavy hand?!
