Chapter 219: Hero Exchange, Let's Play a Robbery
"Did you see it? Did you see it?!"
"Such a powerful Fiora... I can fight him on equal terms with Shen!"
Inside the Snake team base.
The top laner, Saint Spear, patted his chest with a proud expression.
"Yalemar, if you encounter this Ivern who keeps distributing buffs, plus the auxiliary troll who draws a breath to the pillar, the shit will be beaten out of you by the General."
Gangzi (Brother Shuijing) waved his hand covered with muscle stickers: "I taught JackeyLove a lesson with my forehand and backhand, I'm too embarrassed to show it off, and you're still panting."
Sofm, Vietnam's richest man, who was sitting in the middle, smiled.
I wanted to say something, but held it back.
“Cough cough cough!”
Saint Spear coughed dryly: "That's not the way it is. If I hadn't practiced with General, he definitely wouldn't have been so easy to kill Hu Uni."
"Using yours...it feels quite participatory, right?" Gangzi snorted.
"Fuck you!" Saint Spear cursed with a smile.
It's still in the off-season.
However, because the MSI Mid-Season Championship is too short, with only more than 20 days left before the Summer Season, most clubs only took a few days off symbolically.
Then we gathered together and familiarized ourselves with the new version.
Especially for strong teams.
You know, EDG has been playing at 7.8 during this period.
As for the official servers, even the slowest Chinese server has been updated to 7.10.
Implemented two new pieces of equipment: Gargoyle Plate and Adaptive Helmet.
The synthesis formula of Spring Armor and Banshee's Veil was also changed. Spring Armor changed from pure dual resistance to attack power + armor, and Banshee's Veil cancelled the health value attribute and changed to provide magic power.
Other equipment has also been significantly adjusted.
The impact is huge.
Early summer season.
If they can steal one or two wins when EDG is not adapting well and get a higher playoff ranking, they can significantly increase their chances of reaching the World Finals.
"Hey, who will EDG choose in the next game?" Gangzi asked.
“Right.” Saint Spear clicked his tongue twice: “General is really a bit unsolvable. If he takes the counter position, you will be blown up. If you take the counter position, you will still be blown up.”
"Are you looking for an excuse for the summer season in advance?" Gangzi guessed.
"Gua (get out)!" Brother Saint Spear was so angry that he said two words together.
Rio.
Inside the Olympic Stadium.
The SKT team members gathered together and discussed for a long time, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.
It’s not that KkOma is incompetent.
It’s not that players like Faker, Xiaohuasheng, Bang, and Wolf don’t have the ability to provide help to their teammates.
But they have already reached the MSI finals, and they still have to move forward with a top laner who is likely to collapse... The difficulty is really ridiculously high.
"How about I try using Ivern?" Peanut suggested.
"Hmm..." KkOma groaned.
Spring season stage.
Ivern doesn't have much appearance rate.
Most of the players only started practicing at MSI.
Peanut is no exception.
This is actually normal behavior.
Because what a single region can research is limited, only when all the strong teams gather at MSI and the World Finals at the end of the year can more brilliant sparks be created.
but.
The first time they used Caitlyn's Ivern, SKT gave up on the hero after being killed by EDG's Warwick in the bush.
Haven't used it in the last month or so.
Taking it by force is a bit like forcing someone to do something.
"Brother Zhengjun (KkOma), it's no problem. There's no special skills for the hero Ivern. You can just let him go and counter-camp, and you can also let the top laner get the red buff." Even though Xiaohuasheng has been trained a little bit, he still retains the confidence that he had back then.
"Okay." KkOma nodded.
When you are sure enough.
You must follow the preset lineup.
After all, for a standard operational team like SKT, the thing they hate the most is fighting desperately.
But now, no matter which system KkOma uses, it is not sure it can beat EDG, so it can only put its hopes on the players.
"What should we do on the road?" Bang asked.
"I'll use Fiora. Although Fiora is not as strong as Shen, she is more stable. If I get the red buff, I'll have a chance to kill him." There was a bit of ferocity on Huni's fat face.
Shen is very weak in hard fights in the early and mid-game.
Mainly by pulling.
Fiora has a slowing effect from the red BUFF, which can easily make it impossible for Shen to gain distance and kill him in one move.
Huni has just gained a lot of experience in this regard.
The halftime break is over.
The two teams returned to the main stage.
"Dear summoners, welcome back!"
"This is the scene of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Championship. The EDG team took the lead and won the first game."
"In the second game, I got the right to choose the side and took the initiative to switch to the blue side."
Wawa received the information from the director and introduced: "For EDG, the blue side is obviously more advantageous than the red side, because there are heroes that can be snatched in the middle and bottom lanes."
In the middle lane, it’s Syndra.
In the bottom lane, there is the policewoman.
No matter which one, it can guarantee the advantage during the laning period...at least it can dominate the situation and gain lane control.
"Take a look at the Ban/Pick stage processing."
Ze Yuan got to the point: "EDG still banned Graves on the first floor, because the heroes used by Zhazi are herbivorous heroes, and they are not good at dealing with Xiaohuasheng's Graves."
"SKT dealt with the Spider Queen."
Second and third hands.
EDG did the same as before, holding down Faker's Leblanc, plus the support Braum who just played a big role.
SKT targeted Kled and Jayce.
One choice.
EDG gave Syndra to Scout without hesitation.
Because compared to the other lanes and the jungler, the middle lane is the position where EDG is most likely to have problems.
Scout, who has only been participating in the competition for a year, can only be considered to be in the small stage of success, and is obviously inferior to Faker, who has not yet declined.
In the confrontation between top teams, any weakness may be torn into a hole like a river bursting its dam.
After a few seconds.
On the right side of the big screen, two very unexpected hero portraits appeared.
"Fiora, Ivern?" Miller was quite surprised.
"Imitating it?" Wawa felt it was very interesting.
"They probably practiced it," Ze Yuan guessed. "RPG was the first to use Caitlyn Ivern. After that, many teams tried it, including SKT. However, the effect was not very good during the group stage."
"EDG chose Caitlyn and Shen ..."
“This is such a good show!”
Hero swap.
It is the most show-worthy part in the professional league.
There is a very vivid saying.
Called: teach how to be a good person.
But I don’t know who will teach whom this time.
As SKT revealed Ashe, it entered the second round of Ban/Pick.
EDG restricted the Troll and Clockwork, eliminated hidden dangers, and blocked another signature of Faker.
SKT banned two junglers, Lee Sin and Kha'Zix.
There is no need to say much about the Mantis whose evolved ultimate skill grants infinite invisibility.
Blind Monk...
Although the most well-known scenes of Zz1tai's Lee Sin are 4396 and Guest Football, we must not ignore the overall strength just because of its weak operation.
From the S6 Summer Split to the present, no other player has achieved a 100% win rate.
Fourth floor.
SKT picked out Zyra as a support to increase the strength of the bottom lane.
This is easy to understand.
When choosing Ivern, you must consider guarding the jungle. If other positions cannot provide enough support, the situation will be very troublesome.
EDG's last two choices.
The jungler position is still a standard Gragas.
The auxiliary appeared a Colossus of Justice, Galio.
It seems like he gave up the line.
But if a fight breaks out in the jungle, Galio's mid-map ultimate can easily follow up, and they can join the fight much faster than SKT's bottom lane combination.
Nine heroes confirmed.
Only SKT's mid laner has not been revealed.
The countdown passed by second by second, and what appeared in the center of the big screen was...
The Lord of Shadows, Jie!
