761: Another Secret Weapon Is Developed, the Finals Are Gradually

Chapter 761 761: Another secret weapon is developed, and the finals are coming!

"It seems that the version strategy we came up with really benefited IG..." Kuro's face was also serious.

Gu Xing was also quite surprised.

When he was developing this set of tactics, he was mainly based on his own team and did not seriously consider whether other teams would adapt.

Unexpectedly, an IG with better adaptability suddenly appeared!

"Their early play style is very fierce. If they follow our set of logical thinking, Queshi can perform very strongly." Gu Xing commented objectively and fairly.

As a tactical developer, he has a lot to say about this.

Don't think that the fasting flow mid-lane abandons the line and roams in the mid-term. The actual confrontation has already started from the laning stage.

The reason is very simple.

If all teams choose the fasting flow mid-lane play style, and abandon the line of soldiers to start the battle in the wild area without scruples, then what other factors will determine the outcome of the battle besides the player operation and the hero attribute restraint relationship?

Naturally, it is the economic level gap accumulated in the early stage!

This means that the accumulation of advantages in the early stage of the game will be crucial!

If you can hold the equipment in the laning stage, you can naturally win the mid-term team battle, and even snowball to turn the advantage into a winning advantage!

And what is the most profound impression left by IG in the minds of all spectators?

The strength of the laning!

Especially the two single lanes in the middle and upper lanes, which can often turn the situation of balanced position of heroes into an advantage, and even if they get a disadvantageous position, they can force the line to be level.

There is no reason at all, and it is hard power that is played!

In addition, the hero pool is also very deep. At least the strong swing positions in the version are all good at skills, which can reduce the BP burden for the team.

Even the Xiangsong duo in the bottom lane is considered a first-class combination in the world. When facing most combinations, they can barely maintain the balance of the laning and not fall behind.

As we all know, the party that controls the line right in the early stage will have unlimited firing rights and firmly grasp the rhythm of the laning period.

And the jungler can also enjoy the benefits of line rights, the range of action will be greatly liberated, and he can go to the enemy's jungle without restraint to cause trouble.

For Ning Wang, who plays aggressively and advocates offensiveness, this is simply a great blessing!

He can let teammates with line rights act as protectors to cover his jungle attack, gather all the troops to attack a point, and tear a gap from the jungle!

It is conceivable that after leading in line strength, IG will come to the mid-term with the fasting flow of single play. How fast will the snowball speed be, and with the economic advantage, it can completely crush all the way!

It is precisely because of this that Gu Xing is so optimistic about the Ji team.

You must know that in the first game against KT, Ning Wang did not even use the line rights to launch several jungle attacks, and has not yet fully exerted the upper limit of the Ji team in the current version.

But even so, IG can still tear KT apart!

It is absolutely worthy of such a terrifying evaluation!

If the Ji team can figure it out and make further improvements to their own playing style, they may be able to complete the super evolution and become a strong contender for the Summoner's Cup!

"Hey..." Song Jinghao wailed as if he was facing a great enemy, "Can He Kui do something? Hurry up and carry!"

It was mentioned before that Smeb's thinking is completely different from Gu Xing. He hopes that the brother team in the same division will die quickly, so that there will be no threat to VG.

Not to mention that IG's top laner is TheShy!

Although Song Jinghao defeated Jiang Chenglu in the summer finals, the opponent's crab trump card made his scalp numb and he was once beaten by Dansha.

Smeb has long recognized the fact that he is old and is really not as good as the opponent in terms of laning.

In contrast, although KT's top laner Kiin is young and has good skills, the pressure he exerts in the laning phase is not strong. When Song Jinghao met him in the mid-season game, he was even able to suppress him in turn, dragging the game to the middle and late stages and then crushing Kiin with his rich game experience!

If Song Jinghao were to choose his opponent, he would definitely choose Kiin without hesitation.

Smeb wanted to support KT openly and let his good brother Kim Hyuk-kyu seize the time to lead the team to victory.

Perhaps Deft heard his sincere call, and showed unparalleled lethality in the second game.

Just 3 minutes later, the bottom lane created a line kill!

The Xiangsong duo handled it improperly, and when they found that the situation was not right, they wanted to retreat, but the big quail tried his best to stay with his life.

KT's bottom lane played 1 for 2, allowing Mr. Dai to get a double kill, and Kai'Sa started the game with a great result, which also announced that the bottom lane right had completely fallen into KT's hands!

Relying on Deft's advanced development, the big quail began to play his unique expertise and frequently roamed offline to help his teammates relieve pressure!

The two brothers in the middle and top of the Ji team were constantly harassed by Mata Chuan.

The broiler, who could have played an advantage in the online 1v1 battle, was now afraid to fight when he saw the big quail leave the bottom lane, fearing that Mata would come out from some corner!

Ucal successfully got the crucial middle lane rights, allowing the team to completely stabilize the situation.

TheShy's handling method was different from Song Yijin's. He never played timidly, and he would not be timid to develop in the back. He was as irritable and arrogant as ever, and he wanted to play games on Kiin's face.

As a result, he was sanctioned by Mata Chuan.

KT's jungler and support worked together twice, and then TheShy was directly caught and disabled!

At this point, the initiative of the situation was completely under KT's control. In the mid-term, the result of the head-on confrontation between the two sides was inevitably biased towards KT.

Mr. Dai showed his power. With his E [Ultimate Overload], Kaisa pulled back and forth, attracting a lot of firepower, and finally not dying, playing IG in the palm of his hand!

Relying on his wonderful performance, KT scored a goal and rewritten the score to 1:1!

The noise in the Gwangju Universiade venue was deafening, and the cheers of the excited fans of the Han country could be heard by the VG people through the live broadcast signal!

"Hyun Hek-kyu!" Song Jinghao was radiant, "Go, go, go, I will recognize you as my brother if you win two more games!"

Gu Xing laughed dumbly and leaned against the windowsill to watch the game in a more comfortable posture.

VG has no training match tasks today, and there will be no training matches in the next week.

After all, it is a critical juncture before the finals. After today's game, there will be only two teams left in the World Finals. Most of the other teams are in vacation mode, and it is basically unrealistic to arrange a training match.

VG can only occasionally find VGP from the second team to tailor-make simulations of some specified situations. The rest of the time can only be spent analyzing the video and studying the opponent.

For example, when watching the game today, since there is no suitable practice partner, it is better to watch the live broadcast of the potential competitors and discuss the strength of the opponent.

"To be honest, KT is really not easy to win," Li Ruixing poured cold water on Smeb, "This game is purely due to the situation where the bottom lane performed exceptionally, but you can't always expect Hekui to crush the laning in every game, right?"

He was really right.

Starting from the third game, IG's Xiangsong combination began to focus on steady development in the laning phase, no longer blindly exchanging blood with KT's bottom lane, and strived to smoothly transition to the mid-term.

The effect was immediate!

KT fell into the same dilemma as G2 yesterday.

The frequency of auxiliary roaming was not high enough.

Without establishing an absolute advantage, Mata dared not radiate influence all over the map at will.

This led to TheShy doing whatever he wanted in the top lane!

Jiang Chenglu had a serious face, and it was obvious that he was aroused by the defeat in the previous game, and vowed to abuse Kiin in one game!

The laning skills of both sides are not at the same level now. TheShy showed his aggressiveness to the fullest. He could counter Knife Girl with a sword demon. Through delicate operation, he repeatedly stuck the CD of electrocution and poured burst damage to Irelia, successfully suppressing the enemy's health.

Later, before the Rift Herald refreshed, TheShy completed a cinnabar and directly helped IG control the purple garlic!

Song Yijin, the mid laner, no longer had to be afraid of Mata's existence and was assured to exert deterrence in the middle lane, and used his unique skill, Ahri, to teach the newcomer Ucal a good lesson!

Under the surface of the crushing operation of the IG mid and top laners, there was an undercurrent.

They are still constantly adjusting and optimizing their own playing style!

Most of the audience could not see the mystery, they just felt that the two sides fought fiercely, the bloodiness was high and the viewing experience was very strong.

But the VG members in the hotel training room had a keen sense of smell and noticed the change in the situation at the first time.

Jack hissed softly, "Something is wrong, IG seems to be evolving!"

Originally, the Ji team waited for the jungler to come to the three lanes, and Ning Wang went to which lane to make trouble, and then the teammates cooperated.

But IG in the third game was the opposite.

After gaining the line advantage, TheShy and Song Yijin did not stay in the line and wait for Ning Wang to arrive.

Instead, they took the initiative to move towards the jungle!

Gao Zhenning made full use of this and rushed to occupy Score's jungle first, trying to curb KT's rhythm from the source!

Relying on the mid-upper teammates who could arrive at the battlefield at the first time in every jungle conflict, Ning Wang was fearless and frequently launched attacks!

This kind of play can show that Gu Xing was optimistic about the upper limit of IG's combat power!

"This time, we finally hit the ceiling of the version," Gu Xing praised, "IG really has something, and their tactical comprehension is really amazing!"

It's unnecessary to say how strong the coaching staff of Team Ji is.

If Jin Jingzhu was really that strong, he wouldn't have been like a stray dog ​​when he was kicked out of the club by Longzhu.

To be fair, Jin Jingzhu is probably a coach above the average level, with a strong hand and not very flexible. Of course, his high-pressure coaching style is very suitable for the crazy people in IG. Otherwise, if it were replaced by a good guy like Mafa, I'm afraid the whole team would be like a wild horse running away!

Apart from this point, Jin Jingzhu only brought IG the basic operating concept, and many things were stolen from VG by the players of Team Ji.

For a coach of this level, it is obviously unrealistic to expect him to point out the room for improvement in tactical concepts to Team Ji on the spot.

It is likely that the players will understand the truth through the details in the game!

Gu Xing couldn't help but admire him.

This is pure e-sports talent!

If you really want IG players to explain the specific reasons, they may not be able to explain it clearly after a long time.

But their intuition tells them that they should do this to exert their strongest strength.

Facing the Ji team that suddenly changed its playing style, KT was very uncomfortable and was caught off guard and retreated step by step!

Ning Wang is the king of jungle destruction. He led the team to turn the tide and won the third game with frequent offensives!

"It's over..." Song Jinghao looked at the KT people under the camera and shook his head in frustration.

KT was already at a loss for what to do with IG's weird tactical changes.

Being on the court, KT can better appreciate the strength of the opponent and the gap between the two sides.

As long as Xiangsong and the others don't get sick, Mr. Dai will have no chance to take over the game in front of IG's mid and top!

In the current version, the influence that the bottom lane can provide is indeed not as good as that of the single lane. In the last wave of the last game, Deft's 3-piece Xia was heavily surrounded by Ahri and Aatrox. He didn't even get two A in the team battle and died on the spot.

"I found that KT, like G2, also likes to use the jungler-support synergy. I wonder if these two teams often arranged training matches before," Gu Xing took a sip of Coke and expressed his thoughts, "but this kind of synergy can't be used every time before the bottom lane has a huge advantage, let alone how many times it can be successful in a game."

"IG deliberately put pressure on the middle and top lanes in advance, so that the three heroes with the strongest combat capabilities in the early stage of the map can be combined. Even if KT can come up with a jungler-support synergy, it can't do anything!"

When they meet in the jungle, even if KT's jungler and support are combined, they can only suppress Ning Wang temporarily at most. When Rouji and TheShy come, KT will immediately scatter like birds and beasts!

"That's right," the Lord agreed, "I have to say that IG's handling is very good. They suffered from the jungler-support synergy in the second game, so they immediately improved it, put more chips into the jungle, and suppressed the opponent with more powerful means."

Compared to giving strong suppression online, the method of applying pressure through the jungle often can gain more benefits.

It's simply because if you want to snowball on the line, you must consider the existence of the defense tower. You can't ignore the tower and play a strong kill before you have a big enough advantage.

In the jungle, the enemy's defense line is much weaker. Even if you can't kill the opponent's jungler with the strength of three people, you can still plunder enough wild monster resources!

According to the basic theory of zero-sum game in the jungle, counter-jungle is the invasion method with the greatest early benefits!

From this perspective, IG's tactical evolution direction is just right, choosing the fastest snowballing style.

"Can we learn it?" Jack suddenly had an idea and planned to copy IG's improved style of play, "Let the mid and top attack around Lao Gu during the laning period."

Gu Xing responded quickly, "It can be used as a substitute tactical option, but we need to analyze specific issues. If we play IG in the finals, the number of times we can use this set of play will definitely be very limited."

"Because our top is not as good as IG in terms of operation level, it is difficult to get the line right to help the jungle break through."

He told the truth.

Song Jinghao and Kuro both lowered their heads and scratched their hands.

This is an indisputable objective fact.

Chaowei was a little unconvinced. He recalled the process of facing Rookie in the summer finals and suggested, "What if I use a warrior in the middle lane? For example, Sword Demon, Irelia and the like, I think I am not inferior to Brother Yi Jin!"

"No," Gu Xing explained patiently, "If the hero Sword Demon is used in the middle lane, you must ban all the Leblanc and Syndra, otherwise it is easy to be pulled by Rookie, and the BP brought to us is too big..."

It would be fine if it was someone else, but Song Yi Jin was the top operator of these two heroes, and Chaowei would definitely not get any benefits!

"The opponent attaches great importance to Irelia, we have to grab it first, but if we grab it and use it in the middle lane, it will be a bit of a waste, because this hero is most suitable to use it in the top lane to snowball." Gu Xing explained the specific reasons.

The top lane is longer than the middle lane, which is very suitable for crazy dog ​​chasing heroes like Irelia who shine with a little sunshine.

Chovy felt helpless when he heard this.

The strong position in the summer season is the mid-up swing position, which is basically a short-handed hero. He can use his strong melee role proficiency to help the team delay Song Yijin.

But after coming to the world game, the addition of Syndra and Leblanc and the emergence of the new version of the ship have changed the ecological environment of the middle lane!

It is undoubtedly difficult for Zheng Zhixun to get the bonus of the summer version again!

"And the opponent's Sword Demon must be dealt with in a way," Hongmi raised another question, "IG has also ushered in a wave of evolution compared to the summer season. They no longer give the Sword Demon to Rookie, but give it to TheShy to play."

"But TheShy's personal strength is a bit outrageous. If he gets the Sword Demon, there will be no big loopholes in the line, but it can play a powerful role in the team fight..." Yin Chengrong said the seriousness of the problem.

Song Jinghao nodded in understanding.

He and Jiang Chenglu have also clashed many times, and he knows that the opponent's real strength is not in the laning, but in the team battle.

This is not to say that TheShy is not good in the laning, but compared with the exquisite operation in the team battle, the details of Jiang Chenglu's laning at his peak are also eclipsed.

Operating the Sword Demon is completely to bring out his strengths to the extreme!

With the resurrection mechanism, Aatrox is now the god of team battles. With a set of armored equipment, he can withstand a set of damage and enter the blood pool. After resurrection, he can continue to chop and slash. It's unreasonable!

"I may not be able to deal with him in the laning phase with Irelia, this guy has a ridiculous grasp of details..." Song Jinghao frankly admitted the gap.

In the third game of the semi-finals that just ended, TheShy used Aatrox to fight Kiin's Irelia, and tortured the opponent to death with electric shock in the laning phase.

Smeb didn't dare to be careless.

"If it doesn't work, just ban it?" He proposed a brilliant idea that could solve the problem once and for all.

With only one BO5 away from successfully defending the title, Song Jinghao didn't want to be too arrogant, and only planned to win the finals steadily.

Seeing that his top laner was a little nervous, Hongmi had to agree, "If you insist, it's not impossible..."

Gu Xing held his chin.

Two major problems were in front of him.

The first was IG's reliance on line rights to target the mid-top-jungle linkage in the jungle, and the second was TheShy's top lane Aatrox.

If they were to be solved one by one, it would be quite troublesome.

For example, the second problem.

You can't be timid before the battle and really send Aatrox to the ban position, right?

That would make the already tight ban position in the team even worse!

The best way is to find a solution and try it out, and if it doesn't work, ban the Sword Demon!

Banning is the worst option!

So is there a way to deal with these two problems at the same time?

Gu Xing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It seems...

There really is one.

Seeing that all the members of the VG training department showed an expression of serious thinking, the boss Ding Jun couldn't help but say something joking:

"You guys are too prepared for a rainy day, aren't you?"

"The semi-finals haven't ended yet, and you're already studying the finals opponent in advance?"

Jack grinned, "Will IG lose? Very blue!"

The rest of the training department all agreed with their teammates.

In their opinion, the competitive level currently shown by the Yiji team is indeed worthy of a ticket to the finals.

"If IG can lose, we should just open the champagne. How can KT's defeated opponents be our opponents?" Yu Wenbo's attitude was very arrogant. "Deft, Score... To be honest, you can tell by looking at the ID. They are all old acquaintances. They are pure wimps in the big game!"

Facts have proved that what Jack said was not wrong at all.

In the fourth game, KT, which was on the verge of despair, began to show its nature as a wimp in the big game.

Mr. Dai did it first.

Playing as Xia, he wanted to use RE flash to pull the hook to control the enemy in the Rift Herald team battle, but the angle was a millimeter different. Not only did he fail to control the enemy, but he also gave up his key flash.

Rookie's Ahri jumped over and triggered a set of skills to electrocute, and then sent Xia, who was more than half blood, to the fountain!

KT, who lost the absolute core of the team, had to sell Mata again, so as to protect the safety of the other three.

It was just that IG's offensive after getting the vanguard helped the team to establish an economic advantage of more than 3K!

The balance of victory and defeat was infinitely tilted towards the extreme team!

Next... Score also did it.

The old captain got lost in the jungle and was arrested by IG mid and jungle on the spot and escorted to KT fountain for execution!

KT was completely defeated and their mentality had completely collapsed!

The big orange is determined!

Gu Xing adjusted the volume button on the computer, and the exciting commentary of the LPL commentator echoed in the VG training room.

"IG successfully wiped out the opponent and will send KT away!"

"3 to 1! Another 3 to 1, IG once again broke the team record and is about to get another ticket to the finals in Incheon!"

I remember that the iconic Wanwan accent is very recognizable, now it is passionate, "IG's final opponent will be the brother team VG in the LPL region! This is simply unbelievable!"

"No one thought, no one thought..." Ze Yuan said emotionally, "In the sixth year of the establishment of LPL, we will witness the first civil war in this region in history!"

"Experienced a short period of glory, stepped onto the top of the mountain; also fell into darkness and fell into the trough. The six years of LPL have been tortuous enough, but at this moment, I believe that the bright future has arrived!"

"LPL announced in advance that it will sweep the championship and runner-up of the S8 World Finals!" He called out hoarsely, "The LCK team will miss the world finals held in the country!"

"Incheon will not see any team from the Cold Country!"

The Gwangju Universiade venue has become a library, and the Riot director is very cunning and handed the camera to the audience off the court.

Then I saw the LCK fans who looked like they had lost their parents, all of them with dull eyes.

Only a few IG supporters from China were waving the team flags in the stands!

The young players in the IG player seats hugged each other excitedly, celebrating the new breakthrough in the team's history with the coaching staff and management members who rushed to the stage!

Just a quarter of an hour after the game ended, the entry "LPL team meets in the S8 finals" topped the Weibo hot search list, and the popularity soared!

In this year's most valuable League of Legends e-sports project, the LPL region won the championship and runner-up, which is no less than a shot in the arm for countless e-sports practitioners!

The influence brought is no less than winning the Asian Games!

Gu Xing didn't have the energy to browse the mobile phone post bar that night, but instead put his energy into the Summoner's Canyon to verify his inner thoughts.

It was not until the next day when he left Gwangju and prepared to board the bus to Incheon that he had time to hum a song and browse the posts.

After a night of fermentation of public opinion, the domestic forums are now in an uproar.

The number of posts on the anti-bar is close to the number of last year's championship at the Bird's Nest, which is enough to prove the unprecedented popularity of the two LPL teams VG and IG meeting in the S-League finals!

[Rem is so cute. I have been watching LPL games since S3, and I never thought that this day would come! ]

[Things that I never dared to dream of before have actually happened. In S3 and S4, I once thought that the Hanguo team was invincible. In S5, they were arrogant and suffered a Waterloo. It was not until S6 and S7 that I saw VG win the championship that I had a little hope... But this year, a big one came directly, and I didn't expect to win the championship and runner-up. ]

[What a fierce little IG. In the group stage, they crushed Griffin and helped the LCK team advance to the top 16. In the quarterfinals, they sent Longzhu away personally, and in the semifinals, they dealt with KT... I asked who else would be there after defeating three Korean teams in a row? ]

[Is IG's script the same as VG in the past two years? The difficulty of the tough battle is full, and they are purely stepping on the Hanguo team to get to the top. By the way, does this imply something? ]

[KRD, get out! So what if Xingge looked down on KT before the game? You guys are shouting that KT can make it to the finals, what the hell! ]

[Virtue: I love to tell the truth, Tietie, the great prophet is here, why don’t you believe it? ]

[Roar, roar, is there any righteous man who can bring the news from the Korean forum here for fun? I can’t wait to see the defense of the Korean people.]

Gu Xing scrolled down and actually found a new repost.

As domestic netizens said, the Inven forum is now full of all kinds of abusive posts.

[C8 Rome, can KT sink directly into the Han River? They have completely lost the face of LCK! ]

[The No. 1 seed of LCK can’t beat the No. 3 seed of LPL? KT is about to make me sick, I will hate it for the rest of my life! ]

[You bastard, we had high hopes for KT before, but this is how you repay us? You can’t brag at all! ]

[Damn it, I even bought the front row tickets for the Incheon finals. You told me there won't be an LCK team in this year's finals? What a shame! ]

[Do some Han people now understand the value of SKT and Samsung? These two teams can at least make it to the World Championship finals. Why did you change them to Dragon Ball, Griffin, and KT? The three together can't even make it to the finals! ]

[LCK was completely wiped out before the finals. My youth is over! League of Legends, uninstall! ]

Gu Xing was particularly happy to see the Korean website's defense-breaking records.

After all, the day before yesterday, Inven netizens criticized his post-match interview. Although Gu Xing didn't feel resentful, it was obviously unrealistic for you to expect him to have an easy life in LCK.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Xing?"

A pair of thick eyebrows appeared at the bus window.

"Lin Weixiang?" Gu Xing smiled and gave a thumbs up, "You played well yesterday."

"Of course," Lin Weixiang responded with a beaming smile, "Don't you see who I am?"

He suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Gu Xing suspiciously, "Brother Xing, why are you so happy?"

In Lin Weixiang's expectation, Gu Xing shouldn't be so happy.

After all, IG played a lot of new ideas in yesterday's semi-finals, and the strength of the last two games was obvious to all.

If VG fails to follow up and propose a solution in time, the outcome of the final is still unknown!

Unless...

Lin Weixiang's expression tightened.

"Of course I'm happy," Gu Xing smiled happily, "We are all brothers, and we must play in the spirit of friendship first and competition second in the finals, and don't feel burdened!"

He thought about what he had gained last night, and his smile became deeper.

Friendship first?

Lin Weixiang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If it was a day ago, you would have barely been credible.

Now everyone wants to compete for the Summoner's Cup, so naturally they have to fight to the death in the finals!

Lin Weixiang didn't understand Gu Xing's idea, and before leaving, he said something cruel, "Let's see who is the boss of the Seven Wolves!"

After the two teams arrived in Incheon, they took a short break for two days and then ushered in the final battle on November 3!
