"Emperor Fu is awesome!"
"Fuck! Centaur can actually do C."
"I want to give this MVP to the Centaur? Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
"7/0/3 data, if this is not awarded to the MVP, then the director must be crazy."
"What about those who say that Fu Huang is only good at supporting his father? This man is the ultimate big daddy. Imp must have been kicked silly."
"Heizi said that he really can't do anything about this. Fu Huang is really good at playing the Centaur."
"Is IG's management eating shit? Why didn't they send Fu Huang to the front earlier?"
“…”
Li Fu’s fans started talking loudly in the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room.
In this game, whether it was the two waves of vision blocking at the beginning that killed LGD's top and bottom lanes, or the rhythm of the counterattacks in the middle, or the unexpected rush of Centaur on the middle lane at the end that was like a god's positioning and caught the bottom lane and directly killed LGD's fat Fiora in the fountain, Li Fu could only watch IG push down the base in one wave...
If it happens once or twice, it might not be a big deal.
But when all of this is connected together, what Li Fu did in the game allowed IG to turn danger into safety and build advantages time and time again, until finally laying the foundation for victory.
Especially after A Xun lost the first game, Li Fu was once again ordered to win the game, the contrast was even stronger.
E-sports,
In the end, it's the winner who determines the hero.
Everything a loser says sounds like an excuse.
same,
Li Fu was the winner of the second game.
Those trolls on Hupu Forum who had not been optimistic about this old veteran from the beginning, who thought that he had wasted so many years in the LPL without any results, and that he had no talent and was a bad player, are now speechless.
Even though they still don't think Li Fu is a talented player and his upper limit is not as good as talented newcomers like Mala Xiangguo, the team he played in today did become the savior of IG.
So even if you don't agree, you have to hold it in.
Unlike Tieba and Weibo, the guys are still relatively rational and will never play a "game against the wind".
When you lose to a really strong enemy later, you can jump out and act as a prophet - Fu Huang? Pi Huang! I have long seen that this Pi Huang is not good enough, no one really thinks he can do it.
But at this moment IG pulled back a point.
Hater: You win, you are awesome, I will tolerate it!
…
At the same time, in the LGD waiting room backstage.
Coach Heart's face also looked a little unhappy at the moment.
In today's first game against IG, to be honest, he originally planned to play around the middle and bottom.
Heart is not superstitious about the so-called champion top laner.
Heart feels that if a coach still believes in champion players, he is not a qualified coach.
The championship can only represent your condition at that time. You were indeed number one in the world in that year's world championship.
But after the World Championship, versions changed, teammates rotated, everything changed.
For Ma Run, a veteran who has achieved success late in life, there is also the natural factor of his age and the inevitable decline in his reaction and operation.
After Marin came to LPL, he lost himself in the top lane playing mahjong with people shouting "Welcome to LPL", so when it came to the playoffs, Heart no longer had much expectations for the top lane.
If you don't collapse, you win.
Unexpectedly, today Ma Run emerged as a dark horse in the first game, and carried the whole game with a dragon crocodile.
Heart then rekindled his hope for the top lane, even letting Marin pick Fiora in the second game, squeezing out resources for Marin like squeezing toothpaste in a team like LGD where both the mid and bottom lanes are strong.
But how did LGD execute?
To be honest, Coach Heart didn't think it was very good, and he didn't even take it seriously at the beginning.
Until the opponent's centaur destroyed the bottom lane and killed Wei Shen and Ahri,
LGD's players finally realized that the only one who had the best development and could be the savior in this game was Fiora, so they began to give resources to Marin to help with vision and ensure development.
Heart has gotten used to this.
The team has its own ideas, which can be a bad thing or a good thing, and Heart does not reject it.
However, for the previous game, Coach Heart felt that if the LGD players did not have their own ideas and focused on playing in the top lane from the beginning, the outcome would have been very different.
But there is no way to prove this situation.
Because Ma Run's Sword Lady suffered a crushing defeat in the last game, with no support throughout the whole game, just like the Sword God of Shilipo who only focused on developing his skills. Everyone was waiting for the moment when he would come out and his sword would chill the fourteen states.
What's the result?
Ma Run came with a fountain OB, and the base crystal exploded directly.
Admit your mistakes and stand at attention when you are beaten.
In this case, Heart would definitely not bet on the top lane in the next life-and-death game.
In the playoffs, IG is ranked above them, and B05 is naturally one win ahead, which means that they are currently pushed to the edge of the cliff with a score of 1 to 2.
We absolutely cannot lose the next game.
Thinking about this,
The LGD coach couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It seems that
It's time to take out the things that have been kept in the bottom of the box.
…
At the same time, EDG Club.
Three minutes have passed since LGD's last crystal explosion, but Mingkai is still in a daze.
Although his signature dead fish eyes were fixed on the screen, they gradually lost focus, and his face showed an expression of someone trying hard to grasp something but still failing.
"Why is it like this?"
The factory manager turned and looked at Abu.
In the last game between LGD and IG, when it reached the mid-to-late stage, facing the invincible Fiora, Abu asked the factory manager if he had any good solution.
But the factory director shook his head.
Not hiding one's shortcomings.
It’s like LGD will have a headache when they meet EDG.
When EDG encounters an unreasonable fighting team like LGD, although they can eventually win by relying on operations, it will still be a headache.
The factory manager just felt that Ma Run, the Fiora, would be invincible in the later stages of solo laning.
If the enemy is two or three levels lower than level 18 and has one and a half pieces of equipment ahead of him, it's a loss if two of you go alone to catch him. If three of you go to catch him, one of you might even be killed and run away.
Someone asked why not arrest four people?
Well then, Ma Run said I can commit suicide, and the Baron belongs to LGD.
This is not a conspiracy, it is an open conspiracy created by personal strength.
Ma Run has such strength, so he can stack resources like this. If you change the top laner, you won’t be able to play even if you stack the resources.
At that time, the factory manager put himself in the other's shoes and felt that this situation was very unsolvable. Even if he could win, he would probably have to operate it bit by bit with great difficulty.
At that moment, he had even sentenced IG to death in his heart.
But what is the reality?
The reality is that LGD's crystal exploded, and Ma Run's Fiora never participated in a team battle in the middle and late stages until her death, and was killed by that Centaur in the game.
Yes, it was Centaur who ended the game.
As a jungler, the factory manager knows better how big a role Renma played in the last game.
The last wave of godly movement and the thousand-mile rush to catch the enemy made the factory manager a little dazed for a while.
The right time! The right place! The right people!
Some operations cannot be copied.
Even if we had another match, with the same ten people, we wouldn’t be able to recreate the scene.
At the same time, this also indirectly proves Li Fu's ability to seize opportunities.
Throughout the entire game, Centaur was like a high-powered rhythm engine, either doing something or on the way to doing something.
At this moment, the factory manager was finally sure that the feeling Li Fu gave him when he blocked his vision at the beginning was not an illusion.
This man, who was in the same era as him and whose death might come at any time, was incredibly like a dead tree coming back to life, and was actually slowly "growing backwards".
For a moment, as a veteran from the same ancient era, the factory director couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
He always felt that his career could come to an end at any time, and then those newcomers would be crowned as the new generation of LPL jungle kings.
Regarding this, even though he still has many regrets on this stage and has never touched the S crown with his own hands... the factory manager can only accept it silently.
Just like what Li Fu said in the post-match interview,
If possible, he hopes to never retire before winning the world championship, but when the day comes when he can no longer play and becomes a burden to the team, he will choose to retire voluntarily.
In fact, this is also the factory director’s true thought.
Because that’s esports.
No one is always eighteen.
But there is always someone who is exactly eighteen.
However, Li Fu's change today made the factory director a little distracted.
The older you get, the more evil you become...
How did he do it?
Is it really necessary to rely on those boring Ranked games in the Canyon of Heroes?
Abu, seeing that the factory manager remained silent, could not help but laughed and teased:
"Why? Feeling stressed?"
The factory manager was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and recovered from some inexplicable emotion.
"I'm actually fine."
After a pause and collecting his thoughts, the factory director shook his head and sneered.
"In fact, if Padre uses his men and horses to attack us, we will be easy to defeat."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Abu asked.
Although Centaur's appearance rate in the spring season was almost zero, Zzaichang was an old jungler after all, so he spoke without hesitation:
"This hero has a very poor confrontational performance in the early game. Whether he catches anyone or not, he will be defeated in the jungle. It is even more difficult to turn the situation around when he is at a disadvantage. In the middle and late game, his growth curve will decline. He will go downhill with every passing minute. Once you figure out his route, he will be very difficult to play against later."
At this point, the factory manager laughed.
"Of course, in the early stages, they have to beat LGD to be qualified to be our opponent in the future."
"Do you think IG may not win?" Abu asked curiously.
The factory manager smiled and rejected it, "I just think LGD won't lose that easily."
As a coach-type player who likes to "do research", the factory manager knows the LGD team too well. He even forced EDG into a life-and-death situation in the Spring Finals at this time last year.
Finally, if it weren't for the powerful double C of PawN and Deft, I'm afraid LGD would have been the champion of last year's spring finals.
Even so, the classic scene of "Wu Tian vs. Buddha" in last year's LPL Spring Finals left a deep impression on people.
Although LGD lost to EDG in the Spring Finals, they won the Summer Finals championship in the Summer Season and became the number one seed team in the LPL region.
So, this is what the factory manager thinks of LGD.
——You can say that LGD is a team with a lot of nerves.
But you can never say they are bad.
Fans who like LGD must have a big heart.
Because this team may give you a cold shoulder when you are excited, or it may push you back to the sky when your mood falls to the bottom.
What is a surprise?
LGD is a team that is always full of surprises.
The factory manager took a deep breath.
Decided to wait and see.
In fact, what the factory director is really concerned about at the moment is - to what extent has Li Fu, a veteran of the same generation as him who is now in his twilight years, been able to "reverse his growth" like a dead tree coming back to life in spring?
Rely on Canyon Rank to return to the top?
Is this scientific?
…
This is absolutely unscientific!
Backstage, IG waiting room.
Su Xiaoluo opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. After a long while, she shook her head.
I'm so stupid, really.
He didn't think he had any problem with Li Fu. IG's management team was always changing, but they would suppress the troublemakers who refused to obey the rules.
The problem is that he shouldn't have pushed A Xun to compete with Li Fu.
Was it an illusion that he had because of the bullying against HYG and other teams in the last two weeks of the regular season?
At that time, he really thought that A Xun had made a breakthrough in seclusion and that this could become a trump card in his hand to defeat Li Fu!
But now when we meet a slightly stronger team.
As soon as Axun plays, he loses.
Li Fu can win if he saves the situation.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
Even if Su Xiaoluo didn't read Weibo, she knew how people in the comment section were scolding her.
Put yourself in his shoes. If you were a fan of IG, you would think the management is crazy for not using such a strong veteran and only letting him play after they lose.
When Su Xiaoluo thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her balls, and looked at Li Fu with a complicated look.
At this time, Li Fu was exchanging the 20 points he had gained in the previous game into 0.2 permanent attributes and adding them to [Hand Speed Reaction].
[Hand speed reaction: 87.1+0.2→87.3]
In an instant, although the improvement was very slight, Li Fu still felt a warm current flowing through the blood in his hands, slowly nourishing his hands and relieving fatigue.
Su Xiaoluo looked at Li Fu, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed on the sofa, and felt even more uncomfortable.
I can’t figure it out!
He really couldn't understand it!
He's obviously an old idiot who's about to die. He's been a substitute in the canyon for more than half a month and hasn't played much in the training games?
Why are you so fierce once you enter the competition?
Thinking of Principal Wang who was on vacation in the South China Sea, Su Xiaoluo's heart suddenly started to tremble.
Although Principal Wang is used to not caring about anything, he will definitely come to watch the semi-finals in person when the playoffs arrive.
If Li Fu becomes a wimp and Su Xiaoluo is fired, that's called proper management.
But now Li Fu is fighting more and more fiercely, but the person he is pushing hard, A Xun, is a useless person.
This made Su Xiaoluo feel a little uneasy.
He couldn't help but ponder it to himself.
or?
Change strategy?
If you can use it, use it until you die.
If Li Fu performs well, we will try to renew his contract for the second half of the year, which will also be considered a credit.
And as long as the contract is with IG, he will endure it if the players play well, but if they play badly one day, he can show his displeasure at any time.
Thinking about it this way...it seems feasible, and Su Xiaoluo immediately perked up.
But the first problem he faces now is that Li Fu’s contract with IG will expire at the end of the spring season. How can he convince that man to renew the contract for another season?
How about asking for better treatment?
Hiss, although he is just an employee, Su Xiaoluo has a strong sense of "ownership".
At this moment, when he thought about increasing Li Fu's salary in the contract, he felt a pang of pain and entanglement in his heart...
…
The short break between games ended quickly, and the three commentators sat down at the host commentary desk again.
"Okay, audience friends, welcome back to the LPL playoffs quarter-finals. I'm the host, Wawa."
"Hi everyone, I'm Miller."
"I'm Ze Yuan."
As soon as Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, he glanced at the big screen behind the stage and said with a smile, "Sure enough, the MVP of the last game went to Padre6's team. I think this is undisputed."
"Yes, in fact, in the last game, IG helped Rookie pick Kassadin. I thought he would be the core of the mid lane in this game, but I didn't expect that the Centaur MVP would win the game in the end." Wawa also laughed.
Miller smiled and said, "It's mainly because Fu Ge's team had such a good rhythm in the last game. The last wave of God's Turn was the final blow and killed the game directly. It's unreasonable not to give them the MVP."
Guan Zeyuan looked at the big screen and heard the director's prompt in his headset. He immediately said to the camera, "Okay, without further ado, the third match between the two players is about to begin. This match is a life-or-death match for LGD. Let's take a look at the BP first."
As Guan Zeyuan spoke, the lights and music at the LPL site also changed, becoming more and more excited.
The two sides switched sides in this game.
IG came to the blue side and LGD went to the red side.
In terms of banning, IG's three ban positions were quickly revealed, namely, Troll, Fiora and Braum.
The red team LGD blocked Centaur, Sejuani and Leblanc.
"Wow, I read that right, there is only one mid-lane hero banned against IG today."
"Yes, you read that right. I can only say that Fu Ge's jungle position is getting more and more respected by opponents in BP."
"IG on the blue side has started picking. Which hero are they going to grab first? Ezreal?"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, IG on the blue side locked onto EZ.
Coach Chris had two intentions in making this choice.
One is that when there is no specific hero that needs to be grabbed, choosing the all-purpose EZ can avoid exposing the lineup too much.
Another reason is also very obvious. In the last game, Xiao Shiguang's Skateboard Shoes was beaten badly by Imp. If Li Fu hadn't turned the tide and the bottom lane was blown up, the game would not have been ended by just catching Fiora.
So in this game, Chris did not hesitate to use the blue team's initiative to help stabilize the bottom lane.
When Li Fu saw this EZ being snatched away, he quickly understood the intention of coach Chris, as his attributes in all aspects had been greatly improved.
Many people may think that BP should all revolve around the strong heroes of the version.
But in Li Fu's opinion, a mature team BP should be based on finding the "optimal solution" on the premise of being familiar with its own strengths and weaknesses.
This optimal solution,
It is the best solution for me.
Rather than the optimal solution of the version formula.
…
At the same time, in the LGD competition seat.
During this game, Heart stood behind everyone and closed his notebook, which was rare. He said with an unchanged expression: "LGD is a team with ideas, and you are also people with ideas. So play according to your ideas this time and let LPL know what the real LGD is."
I said this when we lost the last game, that one team’s players had too many ideas.
It's a good thing and a bad thing.
For LGD who lost the last game,
It is undoubtedly a bad thing.
But this time,
Heart must turn it into a winning weapon for LGD.
Yes, Coach Heart’s trump card for this playoffs is “full unblocking”, no longer making any formulaic restrictions, allowing LGD to show its true form.
The next second,
The red team LGD's first two moves were all revealed.
First floor: Outlaws!
Second floor: Goddess of the Moon.
locking!
"OH--!"
There was a sudden cry of surprise from the audience seats around the scene!
Opposite the stage, IG's competition seat.
Coach Chris's expression didn't change much when he saw the Graves.
After all, since he chose to grab EZ in this game, he would inevitably face the risk of giving the strong hero of this version to the opponent.
But it wasn't until he saw this Diana that Chris's face changed - because this is not a popular hero in this version, and even in this spring's regular season, the mid lane appearance rate was zero.
However, even so,
The arrow shot by Varus under the highland tower in the S5 World Championship last year will never come back, but no one will forget his Diana.
My real name is Diana!
Chris frowned and looked at LGD's BP, and finally figured out why the opponent only banned Leblanc.
Among Rookie's "two balls and one Ji", only Leblanc, who is also an assassin, is not easy to suppress.
The remaining Clockwork and Syndra are outside, and Rookie can choose to take them out, but no matter which one of them reaches level 6, there is a risk of being eaten by Diana.
"Do you want the Ice Girl to have a go?" Coach Chris asked.
In this version, Ice Girl should be the hero who can best counter assassins in the mid lane.
However, this time,
Rookie shook his head.
Looking at the opponent's chosen Diana, Rookie suddenly said, "Let's pick Ekko. I'll pick Ekko. He has good survivability as well."
Ike ?
Hearing this, Li Fu turned around and looked at Rookie.
He knew that Rookie's words just now were not focused on Ekko's ability to survive.
The point is,
Ekko is also an assassin hero.
Time Assassin.
In this game, the mobile phones in the middle lane are in a head-on confrontation!
Chris glanced at Rookie, who looked serious, and after making sure that he was not joking, he hesitated for two seconds and said decisively, "Okay, then Ike."
Immediately afterwards, IG's second and third hands were also locked.
Ike, Japanese girl.
"Wow! Ekko? IG took this one."
"Yes, the mid lane is the center of a team. If you choose a hero like Ekko, it will definitely not be able to develop with you in the early stage. You will most likely have to fight."
In fact, IG’s style has always been more of a fighting team, but their hardware strength was insufficient in the past, so they started to play operations.
What is hardware strength?
Take LGD for example, I won’t mention Wei Shen in the middle lane and Imp in the bottom lane.
Even in the top lane, before Ma Run joined, the original top laner Acorn was once a member of the "Three Stars Ten", and his online ability was not inferior to the S4 champion top laner Looper.
In a word,
There are too many dads in this team!
There are too many players with strong personal abilities!
This is also the fundamental reason why LGD likes to fight.
Because if you engage in operations, you will inevitably face the problem of resource imbalance in the early stage of the team.
But LGD’s top, middle and bottom lanes are all strong?
Who should I give more to?
Who should be given less?
So in this game, coach Heart simply let LGD completely "unseal" - whoever wants more resources should fight for it with their own strength.
"Now it's LGD's turn to pick on the red side. Oh, their third and fourth picks are the bottom lane combination, Twitch and Tam?"
"Haha, it looks like LGD used their favorite skins in this game. Rat King IMP's Rat, what do you think? Should they use a champion skin this time?"
"Now it's IG's turn. They still have the last two choices for the top laner and jungler. Zzitai picked Crocodile. It seems that he wants revenge this time."
" Well, where's Brother Fu? What does Brother Fu's jungler say?"
"Oh! Prince! Do you want to choose? This jungler has a very low appearance rate in the spring season!"
Anyone who offends our country will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Along with this powerful line from Prince in the venue's speakers, IG once again locked on Prince for the final pick.
As expected, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the factory manager who was watching the game.
"What are you laughing at?" Abu asked.
The factory manager's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "It is true. He practiced some heroes that are not popular in the version in Rank, so that he can avoid the opponent's research and attack unexpectedly."
Abu frowned, "It's not a jungle version, it just feels a bit off."
The factory manager said nothing.
In his opinion, what is a popular hero in a version?
The hero who can win is the version hero.
Win more.
It is the most popular hero in this version!
Others might be following the popular version, but the man in front of him seemed to be trying to create a hero for his own version.
Based on this alone, the factory manager clearly felt again that the man in the IG jungler position's understanding of the version... seemed to be stronger than before.
For a moment, the factory director couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
What else is he hiding?
…
"Okay, now the only thing left in the BP is the counter position of the last top laner of LGD on the red side. Let's see what LGD will choose for Ma Run."
"Rambo? The contestant Xima Run seems to be shaking his head."
"Oh! Noxus's Hand! The Hand of Noxus!"
"It's locked! Oh my god!"
“…”
At this point, the lineups of both sides in the life-and-death game have all surfaced.
Blue side IG:
Crocodile on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Ekko in the middle, EZ and Leona in the bottom lane.
Blue side LGD:
Noxus on top, Graves in the jungle, Diana in the middle, and Twitch and Tam in the bottom lane.
The lineups of both sides are revealed!
IG is doing fine.
The LGD fans at the scene were in an uproar and cheered loudly with excitement.
In this game, LGD...
It's like everyone is in Bankai!
