501: Version Iteration!
"Oh my god..." Li Rui couldn't help but say Jack's catchphrase, "How can EDG beat SKT like this?" 28 minutes ahead of 1 economy, a huge advantage!
This was beyond everyone's expectations, including VG!
As Gu Xing said in the interview, they can learn about the results of the Guodian match through the sparring team. The Peacocks are very good, and their chances of winning in the training match stage, which basically only plays the first 20 minutes, are quite terrifying.
But is it a bit too exaggerated to say that they crushed SKT? They are the No. 1 seed of LCK!
Gu Xing can now feel the surging cheers from the scene through the mobile phone screen! The piglets are so happy that they are bubbling, waving flags and cheering for the main team in the audience!
The live broadcast room is even more full of barrages.
[EDG is strong, worthy of being the nemesis of SKT! Recreate the glory of the S5 mid-season game! ] [ut: Li Xianghe, you want to be my brother, right? I must crush you today! ] [It can only mean that Kai is a god! If I can't beat Xiao Huasheng, can I beat you Xiao Hei? 】
【SKT 10% off water bottle? Before the game, some people actually said that LCK was particularly strong this year, but the No. 1 seed was killed by Guodian like a pig! 】【Roar, can we congratulate the LPL team in advance for meeting in the finals at the Bird's Nest? 】
【Don't open champagne at halftime, what if EDG loses again】
【Bullshit, can we still lose with a 1% economic difference? If Guodian is overturned, I will use a 5-speed electric fan during the live broadcast! 】
"Wait for EDG to win easily," Gu Xing is very optimistic about Guodian, and said happily, "Smash SKT, and we brothers will advance together as the first!" He has absolute confidence that VG will advance as the first in the group.
The quarterfinals will definitely face the second in other groups.
If the two LPL teams can also advance as the first, at least the LPL civil war will not happen too early. On the battlefield, EDG pushed down SKT's bottom high ground.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaodi finally stopped thinking about his B Lucian. After being taught a lesson by VG for three games in a row, he gave up the black shooter who was weakened by Riot on the eve of the world game, and returned to play Rock Bird and performed well.
After laying the stone array to prevent SKT from chasing, Xiaodi followed his teammates back to the city for supplies. But Gu Xing suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"The dragon is about to refresh, should we go back to the city now?" He frowned instinctively. Guodian was a little greedy just now.
After pushing the highland tower, he insisted on demolishing the crystal as well, which delayed some time. At this moment, there are still 20 seconds before Nash Baron respawns.
EDG returned to the city and set off again. Even with the speed bonus of the home guard, it would not be enough to rush to the dragon pit at the moment when the baron refreshed!
It was undoubtedly a major mistake!
At that time, the enemy may take the lead in taking a position, occupying a favorable terrain, and may even rely on the double C to quickly rush to Nash Baron!
SKT also realized this key problem. After clearing the bottom lane soldiers, they rushed to the dragon pit without stopping, wanting to take this opportunity to launch a counterattack. EDG also reacted quickly. They didn't want to let go of the dragon, so they immediately canceled the recall and headed for the dragon pit.
"Aho..." Song Jinghao had a strong sense of substitution, and put himself in EDG's shoes to think about the problem. He was extremely anxious, "Just take the middle lane highland as an exchange, don't go to join the team!"
On the surface, EDG was leading by 1 economy, but in fact, in Song Jinghao's opinion, the combat effectiveness was not much different.
First of all, EDG did not reorganize after pushing the enemy's highland. All five players had a lot of gold coins in their hands without buying equipment, and their status was not very good, and their health and mana had a lot of loss.
Another reason was the lineup gap.
EDG was able to get a big advantage in the early stage, not only because of the excellent performance of its own players, but also because of the lineup.
The mid-jungle combination of Rock Sparrow + Excavator, whether it is the linkage support speed or the tower crossing strong kill, is one of the best in the current version! But in the mid-to-late game, this pair of mid and jungle is not very strong.
On the contrary, SKT has Clockwork + Prince in the mid and jungle, and their teamfighting ability is much higher than EDG! What's more, SKT also has Rakan.
With the help of the single big worm, the overall team control ability of the lineup is outstanding!
In addition, in order to push SKT down the high ground, Guodian should have invested a lot of eyes in the lower half of the map. As a result, the upper jungle area is now dark without any vision!
Now SKT relies on early action to reach the upper river one step earlier than Guodian. With the advantage of vision, it undoubtedly has the initiative in teamfights!
On the surface, the 1 economic lead, under the influence of the three factors of poor state, lack of vision, and weak lineup, EDG's chance of winning in a fight is at most 60%!
Sb believes that EDG does not need to fight SKT in the big dragon pit.
They are already leading by 1 economy, and losing a big dragon is not unacceptable. Isn't it good to exchange resources in the middle lane? SKT needs at least 3 people to take the dragon, and the middle lane cannot be defended at all!
But EDG was determined to squeeze into the Baron pit. Gu Xing always felt that it was not good when he saw this.
SKT is good at defensive counterattacks, and has a keen sense of smell in mid-to-late team battles. They immediately noticed EDG's intention to squeeze into the Baron pit.
They huddled in the bushes above the middle road, obviously wanting to set an ambush here. Gu Xing hissed softly.
Kuro murmured, "This bowl is not a pill..."
EDG was unaware of the enemy's ambush. The five of them rushed to the middle road together, cleared the enemy's minions first, and wanted to put pressure on SKT's line of soldiers. A standard decision.
A coin fell from the corpse of the cannon soldier.
Naturally, Tian Ye would not let go of the opportunity to capture the economy, and controlled Feng Nu to take a step forward and enter the coin absorption range. "Bloody hell!" Jack blurted out, "Field!"
From a God's perspective, he could clearly see the rest of SKT's players gathered in the grass above the middle lane, watching eagerly. If Feng Nu takes one step forward, she will be out of touch with the team!
But Meiko didn't realize it.
There is money on the ground, so it makes sense for me to go up and pick it up, right? SKT seized this fleeting gap.
As the only Li brother in the team, Li Zaiwan activated R [Jinghong Gap] and accelerated away from the grass, striding toward Feng Nu. Bang's mouse also entered a state of disguise, making a few cunning "dididudi" phrases.
Tian Ye saw Luo coming at high speed with his ultimate move and instinctively realized the danger. The situation is not right, retreat quickly!
However, his step forward to pick up the money put him in a desperate situation!
Now that Tianye is exposed on the outside of EDG's formation, he is the first to be targeted by SKT! Luo cut into the EDG formation under the bright golden light!
【Grand debut】!
Luo's R flash in this version is a supermodel control at the same level as Galio's flash. Ordinary players would not be able to react to the sudden approach of Luo!
"Turn it up, turn it up!" Song Jinghao shouted angrily, wanting to wake up Feng Nu across time and space.
As long as Janna opens R [Resurrection Monsoon], she can knock Rakan away and interrupt the opponent's grand entrance. If Luo's control fails to work, EDG will win the team battle!
But Ye Tianye was at a loss when SKT picked him up, and his original top-notch skills couldn't be used at all! After a moment's slow movement, Luo successfully exerted the group control effect!
Except for Iboy's Xia who used her ultimate move to avoid Luo's charm and flew back, the other four EDG members were flying in the sky! All the VG members watching the live broadcast of this game felt a little bit in their hearts.
broken.
Faker was taken care of by Ming Kai several times in this game, and he was so aggrieved that he poured out all his anger at this moment! The demon possesses Luo, R [Command: Shock Wave]!
The four EDG people who were originally trapped were swept into the air by the big move! Perfect control connection!
After Bang revealed himself, he cast R [Full Fire], and the crossbow bolts pierced the EDG formation crazily! In the end, Tian Ye was so stunned that he died suddenly without even using a single skill!
The two players in the middle and jungle could not withstand SKT's control chain and the terrifying output of the rats, and they also died one after another after dying suddenly in the field.
Even though Iboy had just handed over R to avoid the enemy's mid-auxiliary double control, SKT had already decided to kill him, so they forced themselves to catch up and kill him. Only Mouse managed to escape by running fast!
Zero for four, SK
T won a great victory!
"For Gods and Demons!" Song Jinghao broke his guard, his voice was as shrill as Abu's, "Meiko, why don't you turn it up!" "Sent it, brothers!" Gu Xing said with emotion.
SKT won Baron and instantly narrowed the economic gap to 4K!
Originally, with Guodian's advantage, it was acceptable to simply send a wave or drop the dragon. But EDG just revealed everything!
Now SKT can still use the Baron BUFF to advance further, and coupled with the growth of a strong lineup in the later stage, it can be said that Guodian's winning probability has dropped below 50%!
Through the live broadcast signal, Gu Xing could feel the dead silence of the scene. The piggies who had been showing off their power before were silent.
The audience in the live broadcast room was even more unbelievable! [Wairui, what kind of dream team battle is this? 】
[One wave of team fights back 6K economy, it won’t be a direct comeback, right?] [Damn SKT! This is the foundation of the double crown! 】
[I really laughed at this EDG. After playing a good game for 28 minutes, I could send them all out in just 20 seconds! 】【Tianye, why don't you retire, this performance really makes me want to open a ranch for you】
[If Feng Nu’s ultimate move doesn’t work, she flashes and doesn’t work, there’s something wrong with her thinking, right? 】After giving away the big ones, all the EDG players under the camera were confused.
"No," Jack put his hands behind his head and concluded firmly, "It's impossible to win a game like this once your mentality breaks down!" He has a say in this aspect of mentality.
The fact is just as Yu Wenbo said, EDG was losing ground in front of the powerful SKT.
The last wave of team rats scored four kills, and then led their teammates into the spring to arrest the escaped Ming Kai. After the team destroyed Guodian, they bulldozed the base in one go!
Everyone in SKT took off their headphones. They usually kept their emotions in front of the camera, but now they were all smiles and embraced each other enthusiastically to celebrate the unexpected comeback. Fighting without hesitation in the face of danger, looking for opportunities to kill with a fatal blow, this is SKT!
The director promptly showed the camera to the EDG player seats. The contrast is very clear.
Mingkai's dead fish eyes became more and more lifeless, and Tianye felt annoyed and held his head, not daring to look up. Except for ADC, this is not the first time for Guodian to participate in the World Championship.
They know very well that in the group stage of a total of six sets, winning every game is crucial! Sometimes the only difference between qualifying and qualifying is this small game!
But now, the cooked duck has flown!
"Can the economy of 10,000 yuan be turned around? That's outrageous!" Duan Deliang hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Wangruo understands the tragic situation of EDG players having no fighting spirit at all - if VG were overturned by Jiang Zi, he would probably be more autistic than this group of players.
Other players in the team also shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for Guodian. It was a pity for Que to lose such a good situation.
"I just said don't go to that wave of dragons," Song Jinghao said bitterly, "EDG must be greedy. I finally know what the word 'die greed' means in Chinese. I would rather die than be greedy!"
He sincerely hopes that EDG can win. How cool is it to see SKT being unlucky?
Gu Xing shrugged, "There was no way. EDG might have been on top at that time and didn't want to release any resources. They just picked up the group and wanted to solve it quickly." As a party involved, EDG must think about the problem from a different perspective than the audience.
Gu Xing has a strong say in this aspect.
The members of Guodian just saw that the advantage was too great, and they became less rigorous in their playing methods.
First of all, because of greed, I had to grind the crystals before leaving the Highland Tower, so I wasted time and couldn't rush to the Dalong Pit. Then, I don’t want to release neutral resources. I feel that I have a huge advantage. Why should I let you SKT take the Baron? It makes no sense!
In the end, it was Meiko's Feng Nu who was greedy for the coin, stood in the front and was driven first and died suddenly on the spot! EDG's three greedy consequences led to bitter consequences, and the team was pushed into the abyss step by step!
"Don't worry about it, the more you watch, the more uncomfortable it becomes," Hongmi comforted, "Pack up and prepare for the training match, IG is waiting for us." VG concentrated on training and prepared to further polish the adapted version.
It has to be said that IG is not a good training target.
The reason is that the team's play style is too reckless and they dared to look at him in the early stage.
He is about to start a fight. He is really a grumpy old man. The overall style is chaos, with no management at all, and the Summoner's Rift is turned into a big brawl.
From start to finish, it is common for both teams to score forty or fifty heads in a 20-minute training match! In the S7 World Championship, a slow version that emphasizes operation, VG is basically unable to grow in the duel with IG.
But their winning rate in training matches is really bad!
IG faced VG all night long and was able to win 40% of the games. It was the team with the strongest resistance among the sparring team and the two participating colleagues. After the training match, Hongmi brought the IG team over to review the game and think about the thoughts of the ten players at that time from the perspective of watching the game.
After listening to the unreserved experience imparted by the IG players, Gu Xing finally understood why they were so fierce in training matches. It seems that the team's chaotic fighting style does not fit the version, but IG's personal style is still very suitable for the incense burner system.
Especially the bottom lane.
Baolan's life-saving ability in support is second to none. This is undoubtedly the most important attribute of the incense burner monster! If Tian Ye died suddenly like before, the team would have no chance of fighting in a team fight!
But Baolan is very timid.
He really likes heroes who hide behind and provide buffs to their teammates.
The Lulu Karma three-piece suit of the incense burner system is simply a soft accessory tailor-made for him! Another key factor is children's wandering minds.
Kid is a famous competition soft-footed shrimp, and his mentality is famous for his bad attitude.
When he steps onto the stage of important events, his hands will shake uncontrollably, which will affect his personal performance. But when it comes to training matches, a kid’s wandering mind is enough to be the king!
Without psychological pressure, Kid is the top scorer and goalkeeper in the country!
Moreover, the two brothers in the bottom lane did not expect to have any advantage in the laning period, so they directly asked King Ning to focus on the bottom half, freeing up energy to take care of the top and middle lines.
When the three top players in the IG team come together to act, the effect is immediate!
"I feel that the idea of focusing on the upper and jungle areas is right," Gu Xing expressed his opinion. "This version of the bottom lane is full of soft assists + big core shooters. It is difficult to open a breakthrough from the laning stage, and the top half is not so good. Likewise, the probability of killing someone after a conflict breaks out is obviously much higher.”
Kuro nodded in agreement and added a suggestion, "And there is also a priority in it. The midfielder and jungler must gain an advantage through the combination before rolling the snowball to help the top laner. This is the best choice."
"Then do I still have to play tanks in my previous unit?" Song Jinghao asked, complaining a few words to vent his emotions, "To be honest, front row laning is really boring, fighting each other for a long time without losing blood!"
I fought with TSM for nearly half an hour today, but ended up getting nothing, which made Sb very unhappy. He is a hexagonal top laner who excels in various types of roles, but there is always a preference among them.
There are very few top top laners who sincerely like to play tanks. They are chosen to be prepared for self-sacrifice and think about making wedding dresses for their teammates. "Brother Jinghao, I feel like I can play a DPS hero," TheShy interjected, "Gnar in the first game of the training match was really fun for us to play!" He recalled the scene when he went all the way to black during the battle, and suddenly He was so happy that he laughed out loud, as if he was suffering from a sudden illness.
Jiang Chenglu is fine when he's not smiling, like a cool guy.
As long as he grins, his long face and exaggerated expression will look a little funny. Everyone in the training room didn't tense up when they saw TheShy's expression.
Gu Xing tried hard to control the raised corners of his mouth and said seriously, "Judging from the current evolution of the version, there is really no need for the top laner to play tank again."
"Because the mid laner's core strength is really not high," he explained the reason. "If you choose a clockwork plane and a snake girl, it means that you don't care about the life and death of your teammates in the early stage, and you are basically locked in the middle and unable to move."
"But the Xianglu system emphasizes the linkage between the midfield and the jungle - this is also the only position in the current version that can do things in the early stage. Support and shooters cannot participate in the battle, and the top laner is basically an orphan position that cannot drive the rhythm. If you choose the core, the whole team will The rhythm will stagnate!”
Hongmi deeply agreed, "It makes sense. At least the plane has explosive packs that can be used in the resource group. At the same time, it can be used by eating the incense burner buff, such as the Snake Girl Clockwork.
The core, if you choose it, you will be a ground-bound spirit. Instead, you limit yourself to the middle lane, and your teammates will definitely feel uncomfortable! " "In the later stage, the output ability of the mage core cannot be compared with the traditional shooter position, which means that the mage core is a trap! "
On the first day of the World Championship, Ryze and Taliyah, two heroes who can both output and roam, rose one after another and shined in the middle lane.
Even in the 10,000-lead overturned battle between EDG and SKT, Xiaodi chose Taliyah to help the team establish an advantage in the early stage, and his presence was full!
On the other hand, if it weren't for the good olf team battle, Li Xianghe's clockwork would probably not play a role in the whole game!
Song Jinghao followed the logic of his own jungler, "If the mid laner doesn't play the mage core and starts to take on more functional roles, the top laner can get more help... Then the benefits of playing tanks are definitely not as good as those of single-carrying! "
He became more and more excited as he spoke, smiling brightly.
If the top, mid and jungle want to work together, there must be a core to support them.
If the mid laner wants to roam, he cannot choose a mage core. If he is a tool, he will definitely not be a core - otherwise, a Galio and an Ice Girl will wear a full set of output equipment, and hide in the back in team battles to kill people. What kind of talk is that!
Not to mention the jungler. If VG hadn't taken out the little yellow-haired jungler and kept the three-step trump card of Kindred, it would be a pure herbivorous paradise! Resources are limited, and conventional gameplay is not enough to support the jungler to go to C!
Then the top laner can only take on the core responsibility.
At least in the laning phase, they must provide enough output, and after establishing an advantage, they can feed back to their teammates through side lane split push! Song Jinghao wanted to jump three feet high and celebrate.
Kuro also got excited, "Who wants to play that broken B mage core? Being a tool is the romance of the mid laner! "
He wished he could drag all the opposing mid laners into the roaming support area, so that they could hang out together and serve as supporting roles for their teammates." It's getting better, brother! "Li Ruixing was so excited.
The VG training room and the outside were filled with a happy atmosphere. RNG was just as happy as them.
On the first day of the group stage, Royal Club easily defeated IMT. Xiangguo played Prince and played 5 ganks in the first 15 minutes, completely treating the North American team as a toy to trample!
The members of the State Power were still depressed when they returned to the hotel. Seeing the two brother teams smiling, they felt bad. Abu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, trying to adjust the mentality of the players.
The group stage schedule was too dense, with three matches in the first four days. If they were unable to recover because of the loss of the first game, they might have to lose three games in a row and get the "theoretical possibility of qualifying" in advance.
This had nothing to do with Gu Xing. After finishing the training, he returned to the room and planned to have a good sleep and conserve his energy for the game against GAM the next day.
