Chapter 32: The factory manager begins to study the opponent in the knockout round
Normally, a completely new tactic would not be decided so hastily.
The reason why manager Abu, the coaching staff, and even the EDG players all agreed was based on several aspects.
First, during the group stage, the performance of the mainstream top laners was average.
Rambo's win rate is only 46%.
Gnar was even worse, at just 33%.
Even this 33% contains a lot of water.
——On the first day, INTZ used Gnar to beat Mouse’s Irelia and won against EDG!
Excluding this game where he shouldn't have lost at all, where the loss was due to personal ability issues and had nothing to do with Gnar's functionality, Gnar's actual win rate is only 1/5.
Twenty percent...
Who the hell dares to choose!
Kennen, Jayce, and Poppy are pretty good at the moment.
But Jayce is the type of player who will die if he fails. If he is used, the mid and jungle players must give up the lower zone in order to protect the top zone.
Obviously not suitable for EDG team's style.
Kennen and Poppy, Xing Dao basically doesn't play, but he showed it off twice in Rank, demonstrating how to install guardrails on the river and tile the canyon...
They are all talented people who can do big projects.
Putting it here is really a waste of talent.
Second, the factory manager studied the opponents in the knockout round... cough cough cough cough!
It’s not that I don’t want to go.
I think the jungle needs to find new heroes.
Because Excavator's current win rate is 16.67%, and he has only won one out of six games, he really does not live up to the reputation of a T1-level jungler.
The Barrel was nerfed to the point where it was difficult for him to play.
LCK teams, which focus on operations and development, also have a good Nidalee.
If there are not enough bans in the quarterfinals, semifinals, or even later games, how to deal with Nidalee in the jungle is a problem that EDG and Zweichang must consider.
Nunu is undoubtedly an alternative.
After all, there is no disadvantage in jungle clearing.
As for poor functionality?
Weak in teamfight?
How can I be inferior to Leopard Girl?
The possible risks involved in training before a battle are actually not a big deal.
——The Taipei Red Pegasus started with 1-2. Even if EDG lost this game, they would still firmly stand in the first place of the group by defeating H2K.
Lost to Red Pegasus, then lost to H2K.
H2K had won the other two games, so EDG would definitely be second.
As long as H2K loses a game, an extra game will be required.
The probability of rollover is so low that it is almost non-existent.
Even if it really flipped over.
to be honest.
For EDG, which has obtained all other achievements.
The goal is to win the World Championship.
The difference between the quarterfinals, semifinals and runner-up is really not that big.
Various considerations are combined together, and the fact that Zz1tai himself is a very good Nunu player, and he even used an atomic bomb in the grass to bomb SKT at last year's MSI.
After consultation, testing, and some discussion of details.
Decided to hold one according to Xing Dao’s suggestion.
"Hello, audience friends, welcome back, it's us again."
As a senior commentator, Wawa made a joke in front of the camera: "After a short break, EDG will soon fight against AHQ. This game is also very crucial for both sides."
Same as INTZ.
If AHQ wants to go further, it also has to overcome the huge obstacle of EDG.
but.
Most people are not optimistic about AHQ.
Because the strength gap in the LMS region is quite serious.
There is no such thing as one superpower and many strong countries.
It can only be described as a "castle in the air" ranking with one super and many weak ones.
It is well known that the LMS division is divided into two teams, one is Flash Wolves FW, and the other is the other team.
There is no doubt that Red Pegasus AHQ is one of the 'other teams'.
"Okay, entering the BP phase, EDG is on the red side."
Remember looked at the information on the screen and explained: "First of all, AHQ banned Dark Sovereign Syndra... They must have some special ideas."
Who is the AHQ mid laner?
It was Ximen Yeshuo who killed Faker by crossing the tower!
Although he triggered the BUFF of 'Devil's Wrath', he became one of the six biggest winners.
But Ximen Ye said that as a camel that has not yet died of skinny, he is not at a disadvantage when facing Yue Lun, and he will definitely not be afraid of his junior brother Scout, a quasi-rookie who has only played in the professional arena for half a year.
Press Sindra.
Nine times out of ten, you're thinking about weird things.
EDG responded to the changing situation with the same strategy and banned the Nidalee who had extremely impressive statistics.
Next.
AHQ blocked the two heroes Vayne and Jhin.
EDG rarely favored the top lane, pushing both Jayce and Kennen to the ban seat.
obviously.
There are also strange things brewing.
"Kennen is normal, Jayce was banned, which means General is going to do something fancy."
In the AHQ team voice channel, the top laner ZIV, who had been beaten once, became more vigilant.
Half an hour ago.
Xing Dao used thunder to ignite the Titan, and hung Jace in the sky and hammered him.
Even the dogs shook their heads when they saw that scene.
ZIV also has a Jayce, but he hasn't really thought about whether he dares to pick it.
result.
EDG banned Jayce.
"That means they don't know how to take Titan in the top lane, or at least don't want to." The AHQ coach guessed the truth.
"It would be better to take the Titan..." ZIV muttered softly.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, we'll take the top lane last and see how things go." AHQ coach consoled, "And didn't I say before that we'll develop the bottom lane in this game, and the mid and jungle will focus on you."
"I'm not afraid, not afraid." ZIV repeated, as if to cheer himself up.
"Pick Tam first , to keep it safe." The AHQ coach made the arrangements: "Put the mid and jungle directly on the second and third floors to put pressure on them, and then decide which AD and top positions to use depending on the situation."
Center of screen.
The huge head of River King Tam appeared.
No waiting, just lock.
"Ah!"
On the EDG side, BP coach Maokai grinned.
Kind of interesting...
Xing Dao fought so fiercely on the road.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that they will be targeted in the next games.
However, the distance between the upper and lower lanes is too far to take care of both. If you choose to target the upper lane, the lower lane must consider self-protection.
These are all things that are on the surface.
Therefore, EDG prepared for the response early on.
I originally thought that it would take a lot of intrigue to catch the opponent's tail and gain the upper hand in the lineup.
What I never expected was that AHQ was so straightforward and didn't consider hiding its intentions at all.
It doesn't look like a S6 seed team at all.
It's more like a wild card at the beginning of chaos, when heaven and earth have not yet been separated and it is still ignorant.
"We both took it directly." The factory manager pointed to the hero's avatar.
"Take it!" BP coach Maokai said firmly.
For the honour of all!
An enlightened decision!
The factory director and Xing Dao clicked the mouse, and two female voices came out one after another.
Sivir, the goddess of war, and Karma, the apocalypse.
Double mom combination, selected!
AHQ team wants to use Tam to protect AD?
no problem!
Insure, insure as much as you want, insure as much as you want!
EDG directly gave Deft and Meiko the unstoppable pushing combination of Sivir and Karma. Even if they couldn't kill the opponent, they could interfere with the last hit to the greatest extent and easily consume the outer defense tower.
AHQ duo, just don't die, no problem.
Not a loss?
Don’t even think about it!
