Chapter 193 RPG Dungeon Speed Race
After defeating SKT.
EDG's record is 4-0, firmly in first place in the group.
but.
And it cannot be taken lightly.
Because in the group stage, the strong teams that are sure to qualify are mainly testing the waters.
SKT's Caitlyn Ivern is clearly a training lineup.
It doesn't explain anything.
Huni's last wave of thunder, although it turned into a static massage due to insufficient damage, became a joke material played repeatedly by major media.
But other than the damage, the performance was perfect.
Need to be vigilant.
"There is another aspect, I don't know if it is a trap."
Abu pulled up a screenshot from the replay: "SKT this year did not have sufficient ward placement. There was a certain vacuum period in both the top, middle and bottom positions."
“Although it’s very short and not that easy to catch, you can give it a try.”
There are two ways to arrange the eyes.
One is the 'overflow' eye placement method.
That is, regardless of whether there is a possibility of being threatened or not, you should have good vision in all positions.
It is highly secure, but it will inevitably cause waste.
The other is the "targeted" ward placement method, which places wards only when there is a possibility of threat, except for the wards at key intersections.
The advantage is that it saves money and time to return to the city to replenish eyes.
The disadvantage is that there are certain risks.
SKT used the latter approach in the spring season and MSI. A habit formed in half a year is difficult to change, so it is unlikely to be a smokescreen.
"I understand." The factory manager nodded: "I'll try in the knockout rounds."
"The mid laner should still have the same idea. Just use a strong hero to hold Faker back. No matter what he hides, it will be useless as long as he can't move."
"As for the bottom lane...it depends on the specific situation."
"That's it, meeting adjourned."
After Abu finished his final summary, he thought for a moment and added: "Tomorrow we will play RPG, you guys need to play faster and not take longer than SKT."
As soon as the words fell.
The EDG players were just making a lot of noise.
SKT played against RPG and ended the game in 21 minutes.
Faster than this...
It's quite challenging!
May 13th.
The first battle is again the EU/NA battle between G2 and TSM.
What is more surprising is that in this game, although TSM had a huge advantage, it frequently made low-level mistakes in the mid-term, so that G2 team seized the opportunity to reverse the situation and successfully turned the game around.
The two sides tied 1-1 in the group stage.
The second game is the battle between FW and SKT against Han Qixia Flash Wolves.
The SKT team, which just lost to EDG, obviously doesn't want any more accidents to happen.
The lineup selection is extremely radical.
The team picked out Fiora on top lane, Lee Sin on jungle, Fizz on mid lane, and Kog'Maw and Braum on bottom lane.
Flash Wolves FW uses Titan in the top lane, Graves in the jungle, Syndra in the mid lane, and Tam in the bottom lane.
Even though he was not at a disadvantage in the early confrontation, he even took advantage of Huni's greedy and aggressive mentality to get ahead by one kill.
But in the middle and late stages.
Titan's single-line ability is completely incomparable to Fiora.
After Huni took out the three big items, Black Cleaver, Greedy Hydra, and Bloodthirster, he easily led the way through the high ground and killed MMD's Titan under the defensive tower.
Faced with such a situation.
FW knew that if he dragged on, he would surely fail.
After waiting for everyone to revive, they fought a desperate head-on team battle.
But Tam was immobilized by Braum's control chain and unable to move, and could only watch as Rat was cut to death by Faker's Fizz.
Without the key C position, even with the support of jungler Graves, FW's damage is far from enough.
SKT defeated them 2 for 5.
The battle ended thereupon.
"Dear audience, welcome back!"
"Today is the third day of the MSI group stage. The match that will take place soon is between EDG and RPG!"
"I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to this for a long time."
After a short break.
Ze Yuan, Wang Duoduo and special guest Youzi appeared in the commentary booth.
"RPG has lost all four games so far and has not won a single game."
Ze Yuan introduced the situation: "But I think the more this happens, the more careful EDG should be. The current situation is that the five major regions are holding hands. Whoever loses to RPG ... will be very embarrassing!"
"It shouldn't overturn." Youzi said confidently.
"It depends on how to choose the lineup. For EDG now, they must focus on training. After all, some new things have appeared in the past two days." Wang Duoduo left some room.
During the group stage, strong teams are not only hiding and testing their limits.
You can also study the trump cards used by weak teams.
Imitate, modify, and use it for your own benefit.
EDG will definitely win if they use their regular lineup against RPG.
If you practice something completely new, there is a one percent or one thousandth chance of failure.
While talking.
The big screen switched to the Ban/Pick interface.
RPG is on the blue side.
EDG is on the red side.
The ban phase was relatively routine and nothing unexpected happened.
However ……
When it came time to select the players, something was a bit off...
The RPG lineup is relatively normal, with top lane Gragas, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Taliyah, AD Ashe, and support Thresh.
On EDG's side, the jungler Sejuani is pretty normal.
In the top lane, there is Skateboards, in the mid lane is Lucian, in the bottom lane is Varus, and there is a Miss Fortune in the support position.
"???????"
" ????"
"What is this?"
"Four ADs? Are we playing?"
"Don't flip the car!"
“…”
The audience couldn't help but complain.
"This EDG lineup is a bit aggressive..."
Ze Yuan was also a little worried: "It's very easy to win RPG in normal play, with four AD heroes, the margin for error is too low."
"I think it's okay." As a former professional player, Youzi knows more: "Don't think that these four are all ADs, but their positions are different. They take into account the attributes of burst, control, and AOE."
"Compared to the regular lineup, there is not much difference except that the damage type is single."
"As long as it's not delayed until the later stages, there will be no problem."
"That's true." Wang Duoduo nodded.
Anyway.
The lineup has been selected.
Naturally there is no possibility of change.
After waiting for the final adjustment phase to be over, the coach shook hands and left the field.
The competition officially begins.
Ten heroes enter Summoner's Rift and purchase initial equipment.
The EDG team gathered together and invaded the lower half of RPG's jungle area.
Four ADs, plus a Sejuani in the front, are invincible in the first level group fight. No matter what hero they encounter, they can be drowned by hard damage.
What’s more interesting is.
When the RPG team saw EDG's lineup, they didn't take adequate precautions at the beginning.
Ashe and Thresh walked along the bushes at the fork in the road and around the corner of the wall.
Enter the river.
Only then did he realize that there were five big men in front of him.
"kill!"
The factory director roared, patted the war pig under his seat, and rushed forward.
A pig rushed forward and hit Ashe.
The subsequent holy light bullets, lead bullets, corrupt arrows, and blood-red spears shot at the same time, sending Ashe directly back to the fountain!
