Chapter 423 SSG's Rise Against the Trend!
The IG team realized that the RNG team came here to make threats and prove that they are stronger than SSG.
Firefox quickly led the RNG team away. Baolan muttered: "They are so arrogant. If they lose in the end... wouldn't it be miserable?"
Yuan Shen replied: "This is not something we should care about. It's self-inflicted."
Before the match between RNG and SSG started, Yuan Shen chose to enter the forum to see the rhythm online:
# Is it necessary to watch RNG's game? Another victory after a nap.
# I don't think it's necessary to make SSG look too bad. Let them win a game, 3 to 1.
# Right, right, right. After all, Yuan Shen was so optimistic about SSG before. If it was 3 to 0, the scene would be too ugly.
# I can play, too. After all, 3 to 0, hahaha.
Now RNG fans are very confident. From a certain perspective, this confidence is indeed nothing wrong.
With two kills in the group stage and RNG qualifying as the first place in the group stage, it seems that RNG is stronger than SSG.
It was afternoon, and the match between RNG and SSG began.
Players from both sides came on stage, and it was clear that everyone in RNG was quite confident.
Fu Manduo said, "Everyone, watch carefully. Although RNG's previous behavior was a bit excessive, and they came to us to make harsh remarks, it is indeed a good choice for us to enter the finals. We know them better."
Rookie muttered, "Now RNG's play style seems to be no different from before. It has always been four protecting one. As long as they keep using this play style, it should not be difficult for us to deal with them. We have had so many experiences."
Entering the first BP, RNG is indeed the same as before. Although the mid laner got a hero like Ryze, RNG Ryze is a tool man, which is different from the mid single Ryze of other teams.
Generally speaking, Ryze should be a core output point, with high output in the later stage.
But RNG regards him as a tool man to support roaming in the early stage, and focuses on his speed in pushing the line and the support effect of his ultimate move.
However, this time RNG met its opponent. SSG's early rhythm was very slow, and there was almost no fighting on the line. Although the bottom lane was suppressed, it was only suppressed on the soldier line, and the development was still normal.
Mlxg tried to go to the opposite jungle to make trouble, but Ambition was very smart and always avoided it. It seemed that he had seen through Mlxg's tricks.
Ning Wang was surprised: "This seems to be completely different from the situation in the group stage. I remember the hi hand in the group stage. RNG beat SSG violently and the jungle was directly destroyed. Now it seems that there is no chance at all."
Yuan Shen explained: "This is normal. SSG is also improving. It will not be because they can't beat you in the group stage that they will definitely not be able to beat you in the knockout stage. On the other hand, RNG has not changed at all. They are still playing the same way as before. They are definitely not SSG's opponents."
Sure enough, RNG did not break through SSG's defense in the first game and was dragged to the late stage. After the operation began, there was a problem in the top lane.
Although Cuvve played a tank hero, Shen, his solo push made Letme completely unable to handle it, and he took all kinds of defensive towers.
Smlz complained: "Why can a Shen be so solo pushed? Is Letme's operation so rough?"
Yuan Shen responded: "It is so rough. RNG can't handle the opponent's top laner's solo push. Although SSG's top laner is a more versatile player, although he is not as flamboyant as Khan and specializes in choosing warrior heroes to kill alone online, this person's understanding of the game is higher than Khan."
RNG began to get anxious and kept trying to start a team fight on the front. However, when they were anxious, they were prone to mistakes. Mlxg started a team fight that no one could follow and directly gave himself away.
In this way, RNG's team fight was defeated, the big dragon was taken by SSG, and the first game was basically over.
Fu Manduo greeted: "Now that the game is over, what do you think? Speak freely."
Rookie spoke first: "SSG's overall strength is much stronger than expected. I don't think RNG can win today."
Bao Lan sighed: "I originally hoped that RNG would clear the obstacles for us, but now it seems that we still have to rely on ourselves."
Theshy said: "I feel that Cuvve is stronger than Khan and should be a more difficult opponent to deal with."
Yuan Shen asked: "Then are you sure you can beat him? If we play the finals with SSG."
Theshy hesitated for a moment and said: "We have to try to know, it's hard to judge now."
Yuan Shen continued: "But at least we can handle the problem of single-lane. It should be said that if it's us and SSG, they need to find a way to deal with the single-lane, not us."
On the other side, in the RNG lounge, the RNG people were arguing fiercely.
Mlxg complained: "We can't win in laning and teamfights. What are we fighting for?"
UZI looked at Letme: "What's the situation in our top lane? Why were we beaten by a Shen on the opposite side? That's Shen, not Fiora. Can't you beat him?"
Letme's hands were shaking at this time. Seeing UZI pointing the finger at him, he retorted:
"You guys made a mess, and it messed me up too. You didn't listen at all to what I said, and you didn't give me any feedback. I didn't know what to do, and my hands kept shaking. After beating for a long time, I would keep shaking for no reason, and then I would feel numb.”
Hearing this, UZI shook his head for a while. Saying this can only prove that Letme has no effect. It is estimated that it will not be helpful in subsequent games. It would be good if it can not help.
The Firefox coach said: "Letme, please stabilize your mentality first. Our requirements for the top lane are very low. You just need to stabilize the lane and hold down the opponent's top laner as much as possible. This is your task."
Firefox looked at UZI and Xiao Ming and said: "If we want to win, we still have to start from the bottom lane and gain an advantage over the opponent's bottom lane. As you can see, SSG's bottom lane is their core."
Xiao Ming muttered: "Well, I can see that their mid laner is actually a bastard. His main task is to hold down the opponent's mid laner."
UZI interjected: "This task does not exist in our RNG, and there is no need to drag it from the other side."
Xiaohu scratched his head in embarrassment, which meant that he was useless.
Xiao Ming continued: "Overall, their strength is much stronger than I imagined. I feel that compared to the group stage, their current playing style is much more mature and much more difficult to deal with."
Everyone suddenly remembered Yuan Shen's previous evaluation of SSG. Why do they feel that things are developing in the direction Yuan Shen said?
This is unacceptable to UZI. After all, he went to IG to ridicule before, and UZI said: "SSG is not without flaws. Let them win the first game and fight back in the next game!"
The second game begins.
On the IG side, everyone continues to watch the game.
Yuan Shen saw the comments on the Internet and still overwhelmingly supported RNG. Although some people already felt that something was wrong, most people in the country still felt that RNG could win. The loss in the first game was just an accident.
The players from both sides returned to the court again, and the second game began.
In this game, RNG continued the previous four-guarantee-one play style, and at the same time restricted the heroes of SSG. Heroes like Shen will definitely not be given, and then the ultimate bastard hero like Malzahar will not be given to SSG. .
Fumanduo is recording the BP on both sides for analysis, mainly to see if RNG's strategy can be successful.
After the lineup is determined, the second game begins.
However, things did not go as smoothly as everyone in RNG imagined. They still could not gain a decisive advantage in the early stage. Although they could occasionally get one or two kills, it did not solve the fundamental problem.
Entering the mid-term, RNG was pulled by SSG's crazy strings and operations, and everyone was numb.
Yuan Shen could see the irritability and helplessness on the faces of everyone in RNG. On the one hand, they wanted to start a team battle, but SSG was experienced and slippery. On the other hand, Letme was led through by Cuvve.
Moreover, in a Cuvve game, Gnar was played. This hero's suppression power and tower pushing speed were unmatched by Shen.
Letme was more passive in the bottom lane and was faced with output.
Yuan Shen made a judgment: "This RNG is gone, and it is now in the stage of chronic death."
Rookie agreed: "Yes, there is definitely no hope for the current situation. I feel that if RNG cannot make adjustments in time, it is normal for them to be taken away by SSG three to zero."
Hearing this, King Ning smiled: "RNG was taken away by three to zero? Didn't they say before that they would take away others at three to zero? On the contrary, Tiangang belongs to them."
Yuan Shen responded: "It's normal. Anything can happen on the field. If you don't make progress, you will be replaced by an improving team."
Soon, RNG lost the second game. As a result, under the huge pressure of zero to two, it is difficult to imagine how well RNG can perform in the third game.
In the RNG lounge, after the second game, the atmosphere became even worse. Now everyone has no energy to blame others, because it is meaningless. Even if others take the blame, can the game be won?
Suddenly, Xiao Ming muttered: "Did we underestimate SSG too much? We were not prepared. During this period, we put a lot of energy into IG and studied IG."
In fact, a few days before RNG started playing against SSG, they mainly studied IG.
They assumed that they could win against SSG and never thought about the current situation.
Letme spoke: "You underestimate the enemy too much. Didn't Yuan Shen say that SSG is very powerful before? You still think SSG is rubbish. I don't know what to say."
As soon as Letme said this, the already awkward atmosphere became a little anxious, because UZI took the lead in looking down on SSG. He felt that SSG was not good, so he put all his energy on IG to have a better chance of winning the championship.
UZI retorted: "If you were really so smart, wouldn't you have said it earlier? Are you talking to me now? Besides, isn't the biggest gap between you and me on the road? If the gap on the road wasn't so big, how could we lose?"
Sparks interrupted: "It's useless to talk about this now. In the next game, I hope you will show your best condition. Let's not talk about other things. Win one first and don't get shaved. Do you hear me?"
Soon, the third game began.
On the IG side, Yuan Shen has seen the public opinion on the Internet begin to reverse:
# Ah? Is SSG so strong? Is it true?
# Why was SSG beaten by RNG in the group stage? This is not right.
# Oh my god, Yuan Shen is right, SSG is the hidden boss.
# Don't worry, RNG was not in good shape in the first two games, and now they are trying to catch up!
Although there are still a few RNG fans who are stubborn, many people have already recognized the reality.
Starting from the third game, SSG still used the previous style of play, highlighting a leisurely style.
RNG seemed very anxious, always trying to gain an advantage, but the result was a mess!
So the third game ended the fastest, and RNG was crushed head-on.
On the commentary stand, the commentator shouted in despair:
"RNG, who we had high hopes for, was defeated by SSG 3-0 in the semifinals and fell on the road to the finals!"
IG, seeing this result, Ning Wang was surprised: "RNG was defeated by 3-0, this is too magical, they were supposed to defeat the opponent by 3-0, but they were defeated by the opponent by 3-0."
Bao Lan muttered: "I guess no one could predict this result in advance, it can be regarded as an upset."
Yuan Shen said: "It's not an upset, SSG is very strong, we can only say that RNG is not competitive and can't win a single game."
Fu Manduo greeted: "Now that the game has been watched, everyone, if you have anything to say, you can speak freely. ”
Yuan Shen joked: "I just want to know what the RNG people are thinking. They may not make it and will be eliminated by 3-0."
Bao Lan responded: "If it were me, I would definitely be upset. It would be too uncomfortable to be eliminated by 3-0 by a team that beat them in the group stage."
Yuan Shen took a look at the rhythm on the Internet. Now it's good. RNG fans have woken up:
"Ah? 3-0, it's actually 3-0? What is RNG doing?"
"No, what's the big deal about winning a game? Can't you win a game?"
"RNG disappoints me too much."
"Delete the game, quit the game, play with eggs!"
RNG fans are now at their lowest point, and they all said they would quit the game and stop playing.
This is also unavoidable. Since RNG boasted that they could easily beat SSG before the game, this result was doomed.
If SSG was more humble at the time and recognized SSG's strength, it wouldn't be so uncomfortable to beat you.
At this time in the RNG lounge, the players came back and all shut themselves up, not saying a word.
After a long silence, Xiao Ming finally said, "It's so annoying. Why didn't we listen to the advice? Do we have to think that SSG is easy to deal with? Oh, I don't know what to say."
RNG everyone thought of Yuan Shen and regretted it very much. Why did they have to go against him? Isn't this asking for trouble?
After this BO5, the two teams in the final were determined, IG vs. SSG.
The Internet began to ferment, comparing the strengths of IG and SSG.
Of course, this comparison has been revised, removing the previous underestimation of SSG, exploring the advantages of SSG, and even magnifying it to a certain extent. In this way, the conclusion drawn becomes that IG is not as good as SSG!
SSG and RNG were the shame of LCK before the game, and became the light of LCK after the game. It can only be said that the speed of netizens changing their faces is too fast.
In the next few days, IG put in hard training, mainly studying SSG's previous games. Although it has been done once, in view of the terrifying strength shown by SSG, IG people chose to remain cautious. (End of this chapter)
