Chapter 187: Level 2, go home?
The two big, black and stupid tanks couldn't do anything to each other and could only kill each other.
The game between offensive top laners is obviously more entertaining.
Even in last year's World Finals, EDG shut out SKT.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the last two games, the top laner reversed the situation on his own, which does not mean that there is a big gap between the two teams.
Excluding the top single factor, the score would most likely be reversed.
therefore.
After SKT introduced Peanut and bought Huni from overseas to dominate the LCK region, the well-known media ESPN gave a 30:70 winning rate judgment for the match between the two teams.
EDG is three.
SKT is seven.
After all, EDG is missing Deft, its main AD player.
The galaxy battleship KT composed of Deft, General Pawn and Mata was beaten badly by SKT.
Plus, Huni's performance in the spring season was far better than Duke's.
A 30% chance of winning is a very respectful statement given to EDG.
“I think this comparison is not quite reasonable.”
After Wawa's introduction, Miller expressed his opinion: "We can't just consider SKT's improvement, we also have to consider EDG."
“Scout is getting better and better.”
" After , Zzitai has become a new person, and he is more courageous and aggressive."
"JackeyLove is a little inferior to peak Deft, but with Meiko, he can make up for it a lot."
"That's right." Su Xiaoyan agreed: "In the bottom lane confrontation, the support is actually more important than the AD."
Let me give you a classic example.
UZI in S3 can be said to be at the ceiling level in terms of laning.
However, when facing the support of Jyra, he was beaten and couldn't leave the tower in the first game. He was also hit by the classic Q that penetrated the soldiers and was killed.
Only after gaining experience and making adjustments can we barely compete.
besides.
In Season 6, the most common AD was eating jungle and grabbing second place, and why was it gradually disappearing?
This is because during the jungle capture process, the opponent will push the line, allowing the support to reach level 2 first, playing a more important role than level 2 AD.
To put it bluntly.
AD can only guarantee a lower limit.
Assistance is the key to reaching your upper limit.
"I just mentioned the ESPN toxic rankings. I personally feel that EDG and SKT are at least 50-50."
Wawa said righteously: "Moreover, as long as General can gain enough advantage, EDG's chances of winning will be 70% to 80%."
"Because offensive top laners are different from tanks, bombing the line basically breaks the connection."
"It's about fifty-fifty." Miller nodded. "However, in the group stage, neither side will try their best, and they will mainly test each other. Given SKT's performance in the spring season, the chances of winning should be slightly higher."
What did EDG rely on to beat SKT in last year’s finals?
A nuclear barrel.
Ryze moved from the top to the middle, then supported all three lanes, and was invincible in team fights.
A similar style of play will obviously not be used in the unimportant group stage. After all, for EDG, which easily defeated FW, TSM, and G2, there is no essential difference between getting first or second place.
The BO5 final is the key.
While talking.
The big screen switched to the Ban/Pick interface.
EDG first banned Graves on the first floor. This was also the hero that Peanut liked to use after he transformed into "Little Brushman".
SKT banned Kled in return, which was considered a protective ban. After all, Kled's Spider tower dive was indeed a bit unsolvable.
"EDG will hold down Lee Sin and Leblanc next."
"SKT is targeting Spider and Jayce."
"It seems that EDG is more confident in the top lane."
Wawa found an angle: "Huni's commonly used heroes are all there, but General's favorites Kled and Jayce, as well as the Spider Queen who is very suitable for tower diving, were not released."
"Right, let's take a look at the picks." Miller explained based on the heroes that appeared: "The first floor gave Scout the Dark Sovereign Syndra."
“When facing Faker , the strength of the hero in the middle lane is really important.”
"SKT got Caitlyn and Ivern!"
"Why--"
Miller drew out a meaningful tone.
As a pillar-level commentator, Miller always does sufficient homework, knowing that Peanut never chose the hero Ivern during the entire spring season.
Take it out now...
"It should be training, after all, it's a group stage."
Wawa speculated: "The RPG team used Caitlyn Ivern on the first day, and other teams have basically tried it. The winning rate and actual combat effect are relatively good. It may become a must-have combination for the red team."
"EDG chose Thresh and... Rengar!"
“This is the first time for the factory manager to be elected as well.”
Thresh is pretty routine.
Each person has an assistant named M.
There is a story behind Rengar, commonly known as the lion dog.
"The factory manager may want to change his status in the hearts of fans." Su Xiaoyan joked.
Last year's 'fan meeting' saw the factory manager being beaten up.
This year, the factory manager first gave Karsa a beating.
When facing Peanut, he banned the iconic Lee Sin.
Next, if you get a bush, you can charge in and have the ability to release control, which makes it very suitable for catching Ivern's Warwick.
In all likelihood, fans will be allowed to see the power of their idols.
Faced with such a situation, SKT added a Kennen on the third floor. In the absence of Jayce, Kennen could easily gain control of the initial lane and provide support to the jungle.
Second round of Ban/Pick.
EDG banned Clockwork and Ryze.
SKT banned Ashe and Shen
On the fourth floor, SKT gave Faker the nine-tailed fox Ahri.
He is at a slight disadvantage against Syndra as he cannot avoid her targeted ultimate skill [Energy Drain], but with the three-stage displacement effect of his R skill, he has the upper hand against Lee Sin in the jungle.
It can be seen that the SKT team attaches great importance to the factory manager who seems to be transforming into the "Dark Kai".
Next, it was EDG's turn to make a choice.
The avatars that appear in the lower left corner are Varus and... Gragas!
When seeing the hero Gragas, Faker's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. He raised his left hand and stroked his hair upwards along his forehead.
The bottom lane combination of Bang and Wolf also have some symptoms of PTSD to a certain extent.
The situation was slightly alleviated by adding Braum in the auxiliary position, who had a strong counter-attack ability and an ice shield to block flying items.
However.
After the final exchange and adjustment.
The SKT team discovered that the Warwick, who was originally thought to be a jungler, was actually moved to the top lane!
"Don't panic. The threat posed by Rengar in the top lane is smaller than that posed by the jungler. It's also difficult for Gragas to deal with Ivern in the jungle."
Coach KkOma encouraged the players and made the final arrangements: "Our overall strength is definitely stronger than EDG. As long as we don't give General enough room to play, it will be easy to win."
"Huni, please note that Rengar's jump range is now 725 yards."
Finish the last sentence.
At the referee's reminder, KkOma took off his headphones and left the player area.
Head to center stage for a handshake.
Huni was about to say something when he realized the coach had already walked away. He tried to hold it back but couldn't, so he simply communicated in the team voice chat: "What did Jungkyun (KkOma) just say? Did you take me for a fool?"
“No, no.” Wolf stepped forward to help: “Brother Zhengjun is worried that something might happen to you. After all, General is really strong.”
"Strong?" Huni sneered: "Look, I'll beat him back home at level 2!"
