Chapter 31: Airdropping an atomic bomb?
For EDG, defeating Brazil's INTZ was not exciting at all.
It's a wild card after all.
That's right.
In this year's World Finals, all four major regions have achieved the feat of 'losing to the wildcard team', even the LCK's No. 1 seed, the Tigers ROX, are no exception.
But the one that lost is called ANX, from the CIS.
What?
I don't know what it means to come from the CIS?
To put it in simpler terms, the leader of the CIS is Russia.
Russia once had a team called the 'Moscow Five'.
This team has a nickname.
It’s called… Undefeated M5!
If the honor and strength of the old WE are still controversial, M5 is still one of the strongest teams in ancient times even if it has never won a heavyweight championship.
Because of this team, more than 80% of new playing styles have been created.
At one point, it was even suspected to be made up of time travelers.
Do not believe?
Take a look at the records.
Taking out a combination like Kennen, Shen, and Graveskarr, using Gragas and Malphite as the mid laner is just a small test.
Put down the crab alone, and stack the CD of Bingxin EZ, which can be regarded as something new and different.
The cooperation between the midfielder and the jungler, invading the jungle area and plundering resources, can still be explained as the natural development of tactics.
but……
What about double junglers?
What about the jungler and support duo?
What about the 4-1 split?
What about the reverse EU, also commonly known as the lane-swapping flow?
That's right.
Not only was the advanced and enduring play style of switching lanes to gain resources and double roaming as a jungler and support pioneered by M5, but even the four-one split push used by the Taipei Assassins was first used by the M5 team.
The Assassin Star is a successful perfecter, not a pioneer!
so.
ANX's so-called "wild card" is just a way of saying the division of the competition area.
If Russia is put into the European competition as it was in the past, they can still get the seed, even the number one seed.
The ANX team, with the glory of its predecessors, is not here to make a comeback.
Is to continue the legend!
INTZ, a Brazilian team that qualified from the qualifying tournament hosted in Brazil with great difficulty, looks very similar to ANX.
Actually…
If INTZ is the caveman, ANX is the descendant of the Tomb Raiders.
Not in the same plane at all.
therefore.
EDG didn't even do the basic celebration.
After accepting the routine post-match interview, I got some source of life from the water dispenser guarded by Mouse, and began to discuss some key points in facing Taipei Red Pegasus AHQ.
"Don't be too anxious to fight AHQ, just take your time."
EDG manager Abu held the folder and said, "Don't let their mid laner move, and then wait for the ADC to make a mistake."
The core of a roaming mid laner is not awareness.
It’s online capability.
You don't have to suppress your opponent, but at least you have to be evenly matched with him and control the minion line, then you can consider roaming.
Keep making up for the tower damage.
Even if the picture cuts five times a second, capturing the full view, with eyes and ears keeping an eye on all directions, what is the use?
Walking in front of others?
Not to mention leaving in person, it’s impossible to catch a fool who wouldn’t run home even when it’s hailstorming.
Are we going to remove the middle lane defense tower?
Junior Scout's current strength is slightly inferior to General Pawn, but as long as he gets a strong hero, there will be no problem in controlling the line.
The AD player of AHQ team, AN, is a very impatient and aggressive player who will even use his body to trick others...
Looks a bit like RNG's UZI.
In fact, they are still different.
UZI chose to take a risky move and fight when he was absolutely helpless and could not start a team fight without his physical body to receive skills and could only wait for death.
AN simply wants to operate and show off.
Turning the most stable output point in the team, or at least the most stable output point, into a double-edged sword is very likely to cause problems.
EDG played steadily and waited for opportunities step by step. It would not be difficult to defeat AHQ.
Think of this.
Abu looked at Xing Dao.
"Manager, why are you looking at me? You know me. I like to grow up." Xing Dao felt a little scared when he was looked at.
“Wow!”
"Do you like development?"
Meiko and the factory manager both had disbelief written all over their faces.
"I really like development. Development is the most basic thing. How can you fight without development?" Xing Dao blinked.
"Killing people is for better development, right?" the factory manager said angrily.
"Yes, Brother Changzi, you know me. I am not good at last-hitting. If I don't kill the opponent, he won't let me last-hit properly." Xing said seriously.
“Okay, okay, just grow up…” The factory manager was speechless.
Before Xing Dao joined, the factory manager had a lot of say in EDG, and even the coach would come to seek advice from time to time.
After Xing Dao joined.
The factory manager felt like he had inexplicably dropped a level in the pyramid.
Often choked.
I always suspect I've been hacked.
The most important thing is that there is no solid evidence...
"It doesn't matter how you grow, as long as you can grow."
Abu was quite open-minded: "Xing Dao, let's see whether to follow up with Vayne and Graves, or just pick a normal top laner to mess around?"
"I want to try top lane Ryze." Xing Dao rolled his eyes and offered.
"Hmm...what are Ryze's advantages? " Abu couldn't figure it out.
current version.
Although he is called an "assassin", Ekko is actually a tank.
There are two magic heroes in the top lane.
One is Kenan and the other is Rambo.
They are all the type that can devastate the world in team battles if they use their ultimate skills well.
Relatively speaking.
Ryze isn't that strong in lane.
The performance in team fights also overlaps with the mid lane in terms of functionality.
Under normal overall development conditions, this is equivalent to adding 18cm to the top...
The path of human origin can only reach this depth when extended by external force. It is useless if it exceeds the specification, right?
"Bring the wind riders to bully melee fighters, hit them and run away, there's no risk."
Xing Dao's first sentence is something everyone knows, nothing special, but the second sentence brings up the key point: " You can drive and use Nunu's ultimate."
"Nu... Damn!" Meiko reacted instantly.
In the current version, the confrontation in the jungle is actually not that intense.
In the group stage, Nidalee ranked first in Ban/Pick, and the appearance rates of Graves, Sejuani, Centaur, and Olaf were also high.
These heroes have different positioning.
But there is one thing in common.
That is, the early stage play style tends to be pure brushing.
Speaking of jungle farming...Nunu is not sleepy anymore!
In fact, in the ranked game, after being silent for a few months, the appearance rate and win rate of Snow Knight Nunu have gradually recovered.
It is very comfortable to use.
It just didn't make it to the mainstream arena due to the lack of functionality.
With Ryze...
"Can you do it?"
“Is there really such a mechanism?”
"If there is such a mechanism, you can try it out."
"Dropping an atomic bomb from the air is absolutely amazing."
Everyone in EDG discussed it one after another, and after a brief test, they immediately reached a consensus.
After starting with a 3-1 lead, it was very certain for EDG to qualify as the first in the group.
AHQ is definitely not a threat.
Show off some weird stuff...it's not impossible!
