Chapter 121: Level 2 capture?
"Don't be careless, our opponent is SKT after all."
Backstage lounge.
Abu had a stern face and warned the joyous team members.
but.
In the end, there was no one left.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Judging from the game, the performance of both sides is actually on par.
Although EDG had a 2-0 record, only one game was a crushing victory.
The other one was a comeback against the odds.
Without considering the most critical explosive operation of the top lane Gragas, it is hard to say who is stronger or weaker in overall strength.
but……
That's enough!
Three chances in hand.
Next, if you choose the blue side, you will have a certain advantage in the Ban/Pick level.
Not only that, there is another very critical aspect.
That is, other teams may be afraid of SKT and think that SKT is a difficult team to beat.
EDG won’t.
The last time they met was at last year's MSI.
In that battle, EDG not only smashed Faker's face of being undefeated against LeBron James, but also crushed SKT in the BO5 match.
We had a great start today and are clearly in a superior position psychologically.
"This nuclear barrel is really powerful."
Coach Maokai thought about the group stage and suggested letting Xing Dao play, and felt that he would have something to brag about from now on.
What does it mean to have a discerning eye for talent, right?
After saying this, he turned around and looked.
I found that Xing Dao sat aside again with his head buried in his knees.
I couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What happened? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"That should be it. Don't disturb him." Abu lowered his voice a little: "Let me say this again. 2-0 doesn't mean a guaranteed win."
"You can be happy. I am happy too."
"But remember, don't give SKT any chances. You must be rigorous and keep your own rhythm."
"I understand." The factory manager nodded.
Having experienced the failures of S4 and S5.
The factory manager is well aware that as long as the competition is not settled, accidents are likely to occur.
There must be absolutely no slacking off.
"The Cassiopeia's reverse R flash was a success, but next time, Faker will definitely be prepared and even take the initiative to cheat, after all, he is very good at using Cassiopeia."
"The mid laner can consider the Dragon King."
"Because the role played by the snake girl is not as great as imagined."
Abu continued to make arrangements: "If you use the Dragon King, the bottom lane must be able to retain people and ensure continuous output in team battles."
"Let's go..."
Think about it.
Abu decided to let nature take its course: "There shouldn't be enough heroes to ban, let Xing Dao choose for himself."
"OK!" Coach Maokai wrote this down with a ballpoint pen .
Wait for the break to end.
Back on stage.
EDG returned to the blue side and banned the same three things.
——Ashe, Nidalee, and Caitlyn.
The SKT team, which has no personnel changes, will first ban Taliyah and Gnar.
The last position was not taken care of by the top lane hero, but was given to... the Star Forge Dragon King decided by EDG before the game.
"The Captain, Barrel, and Ryze are all outside, so we can't finish it."
“I still can’t prioritize.”
"Just let it all go."
Miller analyzed SKT's thinking.
"I think Ryze is more crucial." Ze Yuan expressed his opinion: "Gangster will be countered on the blue side. Although Gragas' nuclear explosion is strong, as long as you are prepared, five people will not be hit together."
“But SKT can also choose the hero Ryze,” Wawa pointed out.
“Oh, right, right, I overlooked that. Sorry.” Ze Yuan rethought: “In that case, it depends on whether EDG wants to grab it first…”
"Sure enough, they robbed him!"
After a brief discussion.
EDG is on the first floor and gets the Rune Mage Ryze.
In the current version, Ryze is not strong in the mid lane and will be suppressed by various long-range APs.
With Faker's strength, he couldn't beat Scout, his junior, in the early stages.
So it’s not an easy choice.
Walk on.
Unless you meet Jace, there is no natural enemy.
Just show it directly, no problem.
Moreover, there is a foreshadowing.
That is the airdropped atomic bomb from the double ultimates of Ryze and Nunu.
Although the speed is relatively slow and the practical field is not wide, but if it gets stuck in a key position, it is very likely to make the opponent ascend to the sky in one wave.
Faced with this situation.
In the first two hands, SKT got Kennen and Berserker Olaf.
"Duke's Kennen is... just average."
Ze Yuan did his homework: "During the LCK Summer Season, Duke did not use Kennen. He played him once in the quarterfinals, and the final record was 2-2-3."
"It's usable, but not very useful." Wawa gave a very vivid comment.
"That's right." Miller looked down: "Olaf is a better counter to Nunu in the jungle. He has higher damage, slows down faster, and can be immune to control after level 6."
"Blank picked Olaf, so Zweili's Nunu should be a difficult choice."
really.
EDG then showed Nami and Centaur.
Double crowd control, can be used with various heroes.
"EDG's plan is to let Ryze carry the team indefinitely, which means that the top laner is left out of the teamfight system."
"Then, just fight them forcefully!"
SKT coach KkOma did not give up the last hope.
But tried my best.
Let the bottom lane use the combination of Sivir and Karma, and after EDG's double C locked Ezreal and Viktor, he took out...
Frost Witch, Lissandra!
The lineup is confirmed!
Blue side: EDG
Red side: SKT
Top Lane: Ryze vs Kennen
Jungle: Centaur vs Olaf
Mid: Viktor vs Lissandra
AD: EZ vs Sivir
Support: Nami vs Karma
Because Dragon King was banned by SKT.
Snake Girl’s previous performance was less than satisfactory.
EDG gave the younger brother Scout the Mechanical Pioneer Viktor, who won 8 out of 9 games in the summer season and had a total win rate of 88.9%.
Facing other heroes, no problem.
After seeing Lissandra...something felt wrong.
The three sisters of Freljord are a bit unreasonable when they start team fights!
"Be careful. Be careful."
The countdown was over and coach Maokai had to leave, still giving instructions before leaving.
Nami and Centaur have good counterattack capabilities, and may be able to withstand Kennen and Lissandra, but since SKT dares to fight like this, it is obvious that they have some confidence.
After a short read.
Both sides entered Summoner's Rift.
Trailing by two points and already being forced into a desperate situation, the SKT team gathered together without hesitation and invaded the lower jungle area!
EDG is prepared for this.
The field of vision was arranged in advance and no losses were suffered.
only.
As time went by, a rather outrageous scene occurred...
The SKT members who invaded won’t leave!
"Forcefully change this red buff?"
Miller judged: "EDG's bottom lane is EZ Nami, whose pushing ability is definitely not as good as Sivir and Karma. If they swap jungle areas, they may be in danger!"
"That's right, but I can't beat him at level one." Ze Yuan compared the fighting power.
"Changed, changed, the factory manager went to SKT's jungle area." Wawa looked at the screen: "Meiko should save his skill points to prevent a level 2 tower dive."
