Chapter 337 Zhou Dian’s Top Prediction, LPL Wins Another Victory in the Intercontinental Finals!
EDG, who played for LPL, unexpectedly won the first game of the final.
After EDG defeated Samsung.
LPL's hope of winning the Intercontinental Finals has increased by 20%.
This makes LPL fans very excited.
With LGD in the remaining four games of the final, it is still very likely to win two games.
Adding EDG's win in the first game, there will be three games!
In this case.
The choice of the second game on the LPL side has also become a hot topic of discussion.
The mainstream view is still inclined to the LPL side, sending RNG to play in the second game.
On the LCK side, after losing the first game, it is very likely that SKT or KT will be sent in the second game.
Because LCK certainly does not want to be beaten 0-2.
For them, the second game must equalize the score.
Then, this task of "giving heads" should be handed over to RNG, which is relatively weaker.
There are still three teams left on the LPL side that have not played.
LGD and WE are obviously stronger than RNG.
Gaoxiong Exhibition Hall, in the backstage lounge.
When EDG wiped out Samsung.
All the people in the lounge cheered.
As EDG flattened Samsung's base crystal.
The second game of the Intercontinental Finals, the LPL team has been selected.
WE will play in the second game of the finals.
Although WE took the initiative to volunteer, this choice was made.
But the joint coaching staff also considered it seriously.
On the LCK side, the second game will be played by either SKT or KT.
Now that LCK is behind by 0-1, it is impossible to send the weakest MVP team in the second game.
Because the MVP team, which is ranked last in the LCK Summer Season, has no chance of winning against the remaining three teams on the LPL side.
It seems that letting RNG go up to exchange pieces in this game is a good idea.
However, since it is a best-of-five system, it is not enough to only win against Samsung and MVP.
LPL can't win the finals without defeating SKT and KT in at least one game.
The four LPL teams going to the Intercontinental Championship this time.
They were full of killing spirit before the finals started, and they came to the finals with the belief that they would win.
It is impossible to achieve the desired result by just avoiding.
You have to face it head-on!
No matter who your opponent is, you must not think about giving up the game before the game starts.
WE has a chance to win if they play a game against SKT or KT.
They can definitely win.
Since WE took the initiative to ask for it, let WE play the second game!
At this time, except for meiko who was accepting a short post-match interview.
The other four EDG players also returned to the lounge.
Everyone in the lounge applauded again.
At this time, Zhou Dian suddenly said, "It's great, Factory Director."
Then the other players also started to make a noise and said "It's great, Factory Director."
It made Qijiang a little embarrassed.
After a while of laughing, the WE team also went on stage to prepare for the second game.
When the WE team left the lounge, Zhou Dian winked at 957 who was at the back.
957 understood what Zhou Dian meant. He was talking about the more than one hour of solo practice they had last night.
Especially the extra practice of Prince against Jax, who was specifically targeting Huni.
Nodding to Zhou Dian, 957 turned around and followed his teammates.
"Okay, everyone, welcome back. What we are about to bring to you is the second game of the Intercontinental Finals."
Wawa continued: "Just got the news, in the second game, our LPL region sent the WE team to play against the SKT team in the LCK region."
As soon as Wawa finished speaking, PDD touched his forehead and said:
"Hey, I like this matchup very much. He just finished it."
After the second game's matchup list was released, Teacher Piao was quite optimistic.
But on major online communication platforms in the mainland, it had already exploded.
Netizens all expressed doubts and dissatisfaction about LPL sending WE to the second game.
There are only a few opinions.
Let WE go to fight SKT, it's too bad.
Why not send RNG to fight?
SB Redmi, send RNG to this game, the finals are already half won, I am better than you.
People who have these ideas probably assume that WE will lose to SKT.
Occasionally, there are some different voices, saying "What if WE beats SKT?", which are immediately drowned out by the mainstream.
While the players on the field are arguing endlessly, the players on the field have already debugged the equipment, and the BP of the second game of the finals will start soon.
In this game, the LPL region has the priority to choose the side.
WE chose the blue side, and SKT was on the red side.
When SKT played against WE in the group stage the day before yesterday, the jungler was Blank.
In this final, SKT adjusted the jungler and replaced him with Peanut.
The constant rotation of junglers is also a microcosm of SKT's current struggles in the summer season.
On the big screen, the BP began.
The first round of BP.
SKT hesitated for a long time at the third ban position, but still did not ban Galio, who had been reworked less than two months ago.
Galio was released.
WE showed no mercy and directly grabbed Galio on the first floor.
Seeing 957 take Galio on the first floor, several coaches in the LPL lounge were a little excited.
In this intercontinental competition, LPL can be said to be extremely united.
Several teams contributed all their understandings and discussed together.
In last night's training, it was discussed that SKT is likely to release Galio and let Faker choose Cassiopeia to play.
The joint coaching team has already discussed the response plan when SKT chooses Cassiopeia.
Zhou Dian narrowed his eyes and stared at the BP interface on the TV screen on the wall.
He thought more.
SKT dared to release Galio, and should be confident to deal with the Galio system of Prince Jarvan, and Prince Jarvan should also be released.
In the middle lane, Faker will most likely choose Cassiopeia to counter Galio.
So what about the top lane, what hero will Huni choose to play Prince Jarvan?
Will he choose that hero?
After the first round of selection.
WE still has top and support left, and SKT still has mid and top left.
At the beginning of the second round of BP, Miller said:
"WE, should we ban some heroes like Cassiopeia who can counter Galio?"
However, WE did not ban Cassiopeia.
It was SKT's fourth floor's turn to choose first. After more than ten seconds of hesitation, the fourth floor of the red team showed Jax.
Seeing that SKT locked Jax, 957 suddenly got a little excited.
And WE coach Hongmi frowned after seeing Jax.
His original plan was to choose Prince in the top position.
But SKT's Jax made him a little worried.
It's hard for Prince to beat Jax!
"Does Prince have confidence in playing Jax?" Hongmi asked 957.
"No problem, no problem, just choose!" 957's answer was firm.
In the LPL lounge.
Seeing that SKT chose Jax, Eimy and Wei Shen couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Zhou Dian, with a bit of a weird expression.
Then the two looked at each other and understood what each other meant.
Last night, they saw Zhou Dian and 957 practicing Prince vs. Jax for an hour.
Zhou Dian saw their expressions, spread his hands and shrugged.
On the field, WE chose Prince on the fifth floor.
And SKT chose Snake Girl to counter Galio in the last pick.
SKT's lineup is more about pulling and single-laning, which is what they are good at.
The Prince, Galio and Kog'Maw selected by WE are also very LPL style.
When the game loading interface, the camera swept across the players of both sides.
"Wow, looking at 957's mysterious smile, I feel that he is extremely confident today." PDD shouted.
Wawa continued, "Actually, I'm still a little worried. In this lineup, WE's three lanes are not easy to play against."
Hearing this, PDD immediately said, "It's hard to play, but we have to play. In my understanding, WE's lineup cannot be at a disadvantage. Once it is at a disadvantage, there is no way to play."
Before he finished speaking, Faker's snake girl and the support ran to WE's jungle to interfere with Condi's opening F6.
Faker wanted to grab a bird at F6, but accidentally went a little deeper.
WE's bottom lane duo, who had originally walked down, turned back directly.
The support was weak and the two Cs of WE both gave up their flashes and chased the snake girl to death.
The head was taken by the big mouth.
Lee gave away the first blood in less than 2 minutes of the game.
It seems that these commentators were taking turns to poison the healer.
Before the replay of the first blood was given, the camera suddenly cut to the top lane.
The level 2 Jarvan II hit Jax with a QE, then walked up and attacked Jax. With his passive and Grasp of the Undying, Jax's health dropped sharply.
Jax also used W to attack Jarvan II.
The range of Jax's attack increased by 50 yards, reaching 175 yards, the same as Jarvan II.
But 957 blocked the back swing of Jax's attack, and Jarvan II turned back after attacking.
Jax couldn't attack Jarvan II with W.
Huni was pulled by 957 in this wave.
Jax split directly, and this exchange of blood directly reduced Jarvan II's health by more than 200 drops. He only had more than 200 blood points, and it was a bit difficult to fight against the line.
Seeing this, Zhou Dian felt that WE had already won half of the second game of the finals.
It was mainly because of Huni, who was really too pretentious when playing games.
Jax helped Lee Sin to open the jungle, while 957's Jarvan II went online directly.
The Prince went to the line before Jax and got some lane rights.
But Huni was stubborn. He wanted to trade blood at level 1 because Jax had the skill Counterstorm.
As a result, he was pulled back by 957 and suffered a huge loss!
Now he can only retreat to gain some experience and wait for the line of soldiers to enter the tower.
At this time, the Prince reached level 3.
957 did not learn W, and directly upgraded Q to level 2.
The Prince hit Jax with a dragon strike, and Jax's health dropped again.
Now Jax had drunk all his corruption potions, and his health was only one-third left.
He had no choice but to go home and TP out.
He was beaten out of TP by a 1V1 in three minutes.
It can only be said that SKT has already lost in the top position.
Jax bought a cloth armor and TPed to the tower, and wanted to jump up to trade blood, but he suffered another loss.
Huni, the B, is really stubborn.
The result of his stubbornness is that the Prince's life will beat his life twice.
At level 5, Prince beat Jax to half health, and then he went home and teleported out with full health to block the line of soldiers.
Jax had to go home and come up, and then forced the line of soldiers at the cost of health, and went home again.
This time Jax was completely broken, and was beaten home three times in less than 7 minutes.
The counter hero selected later was suppressed by a whole level in 7 minutes.
And in this game, SKT's trend throughout the game was just like the laning in the top lane, and slowly collapsed under the impact of WE.
When Jax developed to the point where he could easily fight Prince in a single lane.
SKT had been beaten by Prince, Rek'Sai, and Galio.
At 31 minutes in the game, WE rushed over the highland tower in the middle lane to SKT, and the big mouth of the brother-in-law flashed and sprayed four.
Only the jungler and the support of SKT survived, and they were unable to resist.
On the LPL commentary seat.
"Congratulations to WE for defeating SKT in advance!"
"Brother-in-law is handsome, congratulations to WE!" Miller's voice was a little hoarse.
"LPL is now leading LCK 2-0, WE is awesome!"
In the live broadcast room of the event, the screen was full of "WE is awesome", which had completely covered the live broadcast screen.
At the game site, backstage.
Cheering continued in the LPL lounge, and the atmosphere was extremely jubilant.
And in the LCK lounge, there was a dead silence.
LCK was now trailing LPL by a big score of 0-2.
The first two games of the Intercontinental Finals were like two clubs, hitting these arrogant Koreans hard.
For these Koreans, they all agreed that the overall strength of the LCK region is much stronger than that of the LPL.
And the Intercontinental Competition system is even more beneficial to regions with stronger overall strength.
So much so that before the start of the Intercontinental Championship, a Korean commentator said:
"If you can't win the championship, then swim back!"
