Chapter 141: Reckless man vs. reckless man!
"Wonderful! Really wonderful!"
In the post-match commentary booth, the two guest commentators Xiaosan and Miss, led by Guan Zeyuan, applauded at the end of the first game.
Guan Zeyuan smiled and said:
"The game just now was just as we expected before the game. The biggest highlight was indeed in the jungle. The junglers of both sides were playing very hard."
"That's right." Xiaosan pushed, pulled the hem of his shirt, and said seriously, "First, Fu Ge's Gragas blocked Xiang Guo's vision, and Xiang Guo immediately fought back. Then, when Xiang Guo was leading all the way, Fu Ge made a fate-changing move to steal the Baron."
"Yes, I can only say that this is a battle between masters." Miss took over the conversation and continued, "In addition, Rookie's Clockwork was also very powerful in this game. Although he seemed a little invisible in the early stage, he pulled out several eye-catching big moves that could not be ignored at the critical moment."
"Well, there are also Quinn in the top lane and Ashe in the bottom lane." Guan Zeyuan sighed again, "The double shooter combination, one for damage and one for control, played perfectly in the last few team battles. I can only say that IG is really playing more and more like a whole now."
The three people in the commentary booth praised IG profusely.
At the same time, it was like Chinese New Year backstage in IG, and coach Chris almost laughed his mouth off.
There is no way. RNG is too strong this season. Even EDG was defeated throughout the entire spring season.
To be honest, the most optimistic prediction Chris made before the game today was that IG would be extremely resilient and fight to the death to drag RNG into the fifth game.
As for the win or loss of the fifth game, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Even if you lose in the end.
Chris found this completely acceptable.
It is completely acceptable that their inferior horse, which was never favored in the spring race, can make it this far.
Such a result can be considered barely acceptable to both fans and audiences.
However, in this game, Li Fu used the Gragas, which had shined in his LPL debut, to steal the Baron and turn the tide, revitalizing the entire battle situation, and finally won the game against all odds.
This unexpected victory made Chris and all IG fans ecstatic.
However, as a coach, Chris thought more deeply, and after his joy, he felt a little anxious.
He knew that the reason they won the last game was not because of how well they played, but because RNG failed to handle one or two key details.
What if the other side optimizes?
Can they continue to win?
Thinking of this, Coach Chris's expression suddenly became serious, and he was cautious and cautious.
Bang, bang, bang—!
He clapped his hands.
Call everyone in IG to hold a small meeting immediately.
…
"You're putting a wire under the other person's nose, and you're betting that the other person can't see it. How much do you look down on people, Spicy Hotpot?"
In RNG's waiting room, Mata came back first and said something to the coach.
At this time, everyone gathered together. RNG's coach Fly almost rolled up his sleeves and pointed at Mala Xiangguo's nose and continued, "The key is that the opponent took advantage of your pride and designed a counter-attack to get the first blood. Tell me, was it necessary to give up that first blood?"
I saw Mala Xiangguo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something.
Coach Fly, who knew the other player's character well, raised his hand to interrupt him, "Don't rush to argue with me. I won't say anything about your smooth play in the early stage, but from the time when the Baron was stolen, I noticed that your mentality was wrong."
"Why don't you wait for your teammates before starting a team fight? Why? Huh?"
"Can you kill all the enemies by yourself? You don't need teammates?"
"And the Baron was stolen. What on earth were you panicking about? Didn't you look down on the opposing jungler? Why did you panic at that critical moment?"
“…”
A series of questions came down on me.
Everyone was silent. The atmosphere in the RNG waiting room, which had lost the first game, was terribly low.
Not far away on the sofa, Mata, leaning on the back of the sofa, showed a satisfied smile - he was very satisfied with Coach Fly's coaching attitude of not being afraid of being a bad guy.
LPL may be a problem left over from history. Coaches used to close the door and order takeout, so many coaches are cowardly and can't say a single harsh word even if the players play like shit.
But Fly is pretty good.
Brag when you win and criticize when you lose.
If the coach doesn't say something, does he really expect his teammate to say it?
After what happened in VG, Mata has become more tactful in dealing with people.
Losing a game is not a one-person thing.
He is also a loser.
He said the incense pot,
Can Xiangguo do it willingly?
Even when coach Fly said these words at this moment, Xiang Guo was silent for a moment and then began to refute.
"From the beginning, the hero we picked in the top lane was suppressed, and the mid lane was also suppressed. We couldn't even cross the river. The opponent cooperated with his teammates to enter my jungle. What can I do?"
"I admit that there was an element of gambling in the first wave of crab control, but if we don't take a gamble, wouldn't it become a vicious circle?"
Speaking of spicy hotpot, I feel a little aggrieved.
He felt that there were some issues with Fly's BP in the last game.
A lineup that suppresses the mid and top players in the early game was selected, which means they deliberately don't want him to play in the jungle.
As for the later statement that he was always out of touch with his teammates in team fights, Mala Xiangguo also wanted to refute this question - but after looking at Xiaohu, he swallowed the words.
He actually wanted to ask Xiaohu.
You said that he was playing an assassin AP Ekko in the mid lane, but he couldn't even use the Clockwork flash in the entire laning phase, and he was also invisible in team fights.
Then why do you play Ike?
Oh, my teammates can’t start a team fight. If he doesn’t start it, who will?
There is a disconnect, but why don't you ask your teammates why they didn't keep up? Are they just watching the show from the back?
Xiang Guo felt very aggrieved and angry, and muttered a few words, but he knew that some words would be too hurtful if spoken out loud, so he chose to keep silent for the time being and just glared at Xiaohu fiercely.
Xiaohu was sitting there with his mind empty and his eyes unfocused, when he suddenly felt a death gaze.
He suddenly came to his senses, looked around, but found nothing. He scratched his head in confusion and began to daydream again.
Spicy hot pot: ...
grass!
This one is even more cowardly than the next one!
I must wake him up!
Coach Fly saw that Mala Xiang Guo stopped talking halfway through his rebuttal. He also looked at Xiang Guo in surprise. He thought that what he had just said was too harsh, so he softened his tone a little and punished himself with three cups of wine .
"The heroes in the mid and top lanes didn't have the lane control in the last game. It was indeed my inconsideration. The main reason was that I didn't expect Ekko to be unable to defeat Clockwork from beginning to end. Xiaohu, put more effort into the laning phase in the next game and don't be too timid."
Fly said half of what Xiangguo didn't say.
"Ah? Oh, mine." Xiaohu nodded directly.
This is his personality. Unlike Mala Xiangguo, he never says a word back.
But in fact, to be honest, coach Fly still prefers someone like Mala Xiang Guo who likes to talk back - not because he is a jerk, but it is useless if he is the only one talking in the post-match summary, and what the coach says is not absolute. It is definitely a good thing for the whole team for Mala Xiang Guo to have his own opinions and to be able to express them.
Although this somewhat undermines the coach's prestige.
But Fly doesn't care, he just wants to win the game.
"Okay." Mata, who is known as the brain of the team, finally spoke up and said directly, "I think we will lose the last game. In the end, it's just two words."
Mata held up two fingers.
"Line power! Line power! Still line power!"
The next second, Xiaohu suddenly burst out laughing.
Mata, who was furious, froze for a moment and asked unhappily, "What's wrong? Is what I said funny?"
"No...that's not what I meant."
Xiaohu waved his hands sincerely, then scratched his head, pointed at Mata's raised index and middle fingers and said, "When we take photos here, we usually make that gesture..."
“…”
Mata's eye twitched.
grass!
I emphasized line rights three times!
You only saw my gesture, right?
Xiaohu probably felt that his move was a bit outrageous, and quickly added, "I think it's better for us not to use an assassin. We can choose a player with long arms and burst in the middle lane, which will make it much easier for me to fight against him."
Seeing that Xiaohu finally found the key point, Mata calmed down, but the coach Fly next to him fell into deep thought.
As a professional coach, the BP for the next game has already taken shape in my mind.
"You have the line rights, we will definitely defeat the opponent in the next game." Mala Xiangguo was not affected by losing the game at all, and he spoke with full momentum.
In his opinion, if one side is suppressed in the jungle in the early stage of a game, it is most likely the fault of the laning team.
As long as he can really do the BP that the coach said in the next game, and the mid and top laning phases are not weak, Mala Xiang Guo feels that he can beat the opponent in the jungle and maintain the advantage of the jungle from the beginning to the end.
He was in peak condition this year and had every confidence in this.
…
At the same time,
Li Fu looked at the attribute panel in front of him that only he could see. The 0.3 permanent attribute points he had plundered from the opposing jungler in the last game raised his current strongest stat, [Hand Speed Reaction], from 88.4 to 88.7.
At this moment, his inner confidence is also increasing.
The only regret is that the mark in the previous game was given to the opposing Mala Xiangguo jungler, and he couldn't keep targeting him. The parent energy mark plundered in the early stage couldn't even trigger the passive of [Good Things Come in Pairs].
Fortunately, after the temporary attributes were maxed out, his passive ability was triggered, and his [Countermeasures] reaction was randomly maxed out again, so he was able to lead the team to victory with waves of extremely detailed team fights.
I hope that next time I can mark a convenient location to get the "mark".
Li Fu prayed inwardly.
At this time, the staff was outside the door notifying everyone to prepare for the next game. The five members of IG gathered together and shouted "Come on" with their fists facing each other.
The moment they walked out the door, they once again embarked on the journey to the finals.
…
While both teams were summing up during the inter-match, the fans at the scene were also busy and expressed their opinions.
The comments in the live broadcast room were scrolling crazily, with fans of both teams blasting each other. After all, talking nonsense before the game doesn’t cost any money.
"There's a saying that the last Padre 6>MLXG is not wrong, right?"
"That's enough son of a bitch, B05 is making a fuss after winning this one."
"Have you forgotten the horror of being dominated by Xiang Guo's men in the last battle?"
"Domination? Why do I only see someone's Baron being robbed?"
"To be honest, wasn't Xiaohu a pure assassin in the last game? He didn't even use Clockwork's flash when he chose an assassin."
"Really don't choose Crocodile for Looper, this hero is definitely a meta trap, it will be a drag in the mid to late game, and if you meet a long-range opponent in the early game, you will get beaten."
"To be honest, as long as RNG's mid and top lane can get the lane control like they did in the bottom lane, shouldn't Xiang Guo beat some 'old-time jungler'?"
“…”
"The trolls are so stubborn. How many times does Fu Huang have to admits that he is stronger?"
"Speak up, e-sports champion. You've been playing professionally for so many years, but you don't even have a championship. What the hell are you bragging about?"
“…”
Amidst the noisy and heated discussion.
After the break, the players from both teams returned to their seats and the camera on the big screen quickly gave the commentary.
"Okay! Welcome back to the second game of the LPL Spring Finals IG vs. RNG. I am the commentator Wawa."
"I'm Miller."
"Hello everyone, I am PDD."
The three commentators greeted the camera as usual.
Wawa glanced at the status of the players on both sides' benches.
Unexpectedly, all the players in the RNG player seat who had stumbled in the previous game were very relaxed.
Coach Fly was seen standing behind everyone with a headset on. He walked up to Xiaohu and said something. Xiaohu started to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
In contrast, the atmosphere on IG's side, which had just won a game, was solemn. Coach Chris had a tense face and frowned, thinking about something.
Wawa saw the contrasting comparison between the two players before the second game under the director's camera, and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head:
"I can only say that RNG is a confident team. It seems that they have quickly adjusted their form during the game, recovered from the loss in the last game, and are extremely confident of winning the next game."
Miller couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "After all, they are a team that won all the regular season games. It doesn't make sense for them to be affected by a small win or loss. RNG doesn't need to play well now. They just need to show their undefeated form in the regular season and minimize mistakes."
"Indeed, IG is nervous. I can understand that."
Wawa smiled and said, "Today's game was more like a challenge for IG. I just wanted to give it a try, but after trying it, I found out that, eh? It seems like there is a chance. So my mentality was shaken."
PDD also nodded, pushed up his glasses and said, "So, in a BO5 game, it's often a matter of mentality. If you don't adjust your mentality well, it will have a huge impact on the entire game. I can only hope that IG can calm down and not be too nervous."
"Oh, our BP has already started. RNG has the right to choose the side in this game, and they chose the blue side."
"Well, from the regular season to the playoffs, the blue team's win rate is obviously higher than the red team. On the one hand, it is the terrain advantage of Summoner's Rift, and on the other hand, the blue team can be more proactive in BP."
"Okay, let's not talk too much, let's look at the BP first."
After both sides took turns banning characters, the three heroes on both sides were soon revealed.
Blue side RNG: Gragas, Ice Witch, Sejuani.
Red side IG: Thresh, Lee Sin, and Elise.
"From the perspective of the banned heroes of both sides, IG on the red side continued their ban from the previous game without any changes. After all, they won the previous game, and they may hope that such a ban can continue their victory from the previous game."
"Yes, but RNG on the blue side was a bit targeted. Not only did they ban Padre6's Gragas who was in hot form in the last game, but they also banned Sejuani as well. Banning two junglers, it seems that they have given high priority to the jungler in this game."
"Well, in that case, I can understand why RNG banned the Asura. Since they want to increase the priority of the jungler, they must have control of the lane. RNG should have studied IG's previous games and knew that Rookie's Asura would be able to control the lane as soon as he got it, so they just banned it."
"Yes, after all, the Ice Maiden is a hero that is very good at pushing lanes."
"Now it's RNG's turn to make the first pick on the blue side. What do you say? Graves is still out there. Do you want to help Xiang Guo get the Graves?"
"Oh, troll! RNG picked the swing troll as the first pick."
"This will test IG's ability to react. The hero Troll can be played by both junglers, support players and top laners. How will IG respond?"
On one side of the stage, in the IG competition seat.
"No matter what, let's get the road first."
Coach Chris was decisive. After hesitating for only a moment, he chose to remain unchanged in the face of change and first revealed IG's bottom lane combination.
Skateboard shoes + bull head!
Since the opponent chose to release Xiao Shi Guang's special hero when they were short of ban positions, there was no reason for them not to believe in Xiao Shi Guang, so they simply took out the bottom lane combination that best suited Skateboard Shoes.
However, since RNG dares to let it go, it does not mean they have no way to deal with it.
As soon as IG's bottom lane combination was revealed, they quickly revealed the combination of Tristana and Tahm Kench. These two heroes are considered to be relatively strong against Skateboard Shoes.
Among them, Mata even got the hook hero he had been longing for when Thresh was banned.
But as soon as his Titan showed up.
Then the only choice for the Troll picked first is between top lane and jungle.
"I think it should be the top laner. The jungler of Mala Xiang Guo never seemed to use the Troll much, but Looper's top laner Troll used it several times in the regular season."
"Yes, what about IG? Oh! They chose to help Rookie get the Clockwork again. What about the jungle... Olaf? He's locked!"
Clockwork + Olaf.
The red team IG's mid and jungle quickly locked on.
The last counter position was given to the top laner Zzitai.
On the other side of the stage, in the RNG competition seat.
Mala Xiang Guo, who had been silent and had not interfered with the coach's BP thinking, suddenly had an idea after seeing the opponent's Olaf. He turned to coach Fly and said, "Give me the jungle troll. I want this troll."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fly looked at Xiang Guo in surprise.
Spicy Hotpot pointed at Li Fu and said, "The other side is rushing forward, so I have to show some sincerity. Just give me the troll. The troll is bigger."
The dispute over Xiangguo was not simply a matter of personal feelings.
Instead, once Olaf, the reckless hero, uses his ultimate skill, he becomes immune to all controls, and the only thing that can limit him is the terrain.
Then the troll's pillar is undoubtedly a disguised restriction on Olaf's ultimate move.
In addition, when it comes to standing up,
The troll is also one of the few heroes that is not inferior to Olaf. Anyway, he just uses his ultimate to suck, then swings his big stick and smashes it wildly.
Everyone sucks blood.
Am I still afraid of you?
Coach Fly also thought of this.
Although he didn't know how proficient the spicy hotpot troll was, he nodded anyway.
Then the only undecided parts of their lineup were the mid and top, but soon, the blue side's RNG Gnar + Syndra heroes were locked in one after another.
"Hiss! Gnar in the top lane and Syndra in the middle lane? Both of these heroes have very high laning strength. It seems that RNG is very determined to take control of the lane this time!"
"Yes, after all, the mid and top were suppressed too harshly in the last game, which directly led to the isolation of the jungle area of Mala Xiang Guo in the early stage. If the mid and top can get the line control this time, I have a feeling that the jungle area of Mala Xiang Guo will take off!"
"So what do you think about IG's last counter position? The opponent has Gnar on top, and Gnar is a long-range hero. It's not easy for Zzitai to choose Quinn in this game."
"Oh Jace? Do you want to reconsider this?"
"Hehe, Jayce is a bit unstable..."
"Wait, locked! It's Jayce in the top lane!"
"Wow! IG, who took the lead, still fought hard in this game!"
Along with the exclamation of the commentator on the stage, the lineups of both teams in the second match of Spring Finals B05 also surfaced.
Blue side RNG: top lane Gnar, jungle Troll, mid lane Syndra, bottom lane Tristana and Titan.
Red side IG: Jayce on top, Olaf on jungle, Clockwork in the middle, Skeleton and Alistar on the bottom.
Reckless man vs reckless man!
As soon as the lineups of both sides were revealed,
Just by looking at the hero choices in the jungle, countless viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room smelled a hint of impending storm.
This time,
I'm afraid both sides will fight very recklessly...
