Chapter 441 My name is Shanji, the Ji of Dragon Blood Warrior
"When we were originally divided into two groups, A and B, there were always arguments and everyone had their own opinions on which group was better."
“Then there’s something more interesting.”
Miller recalled the previous situation: "We found that the stronger group often suffered a Waterloo when competing against the opposite group."
"Eh?" Wawa mischievously grasped the key point: "What are you hinting at?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Miller denied three times in a row: "I think today's matchup will be very suspenseful. Although RNG's record in the Eastern Conference is not particularly good, their soul player UZI will appear in the crucial game."
"EDG's performance in recent games has been a bit sluggish, and Zhazhuang is once again in charge."
"Both sides have shown their full strength to bring everyone a visual feast of e-sports Spring Festival Gala level!"
"Yes!" Wawa nodded: "Then we won't say much, let's immediately enter the first BO3 match of the day!"
On the big screen.
First, play the promotional videos of the two teams' new season as cutscenes.
2018 League of Legends Professional League, after displaying a series of sponsors’ logo interfaces, the camera turned to the main stage.
Left and right sides.
The flags of EDG and RNG lit up respectively.
This marks the first time that these two teams will face off against each other on the East and West stage.
The spotlight is shining.
The director's perspective shifted to the contestant's seat.
You can see it.
The expressions of the RNG players changed from the solemnity of losing consecutive games to full of fighting spirit, which shows how obvious UZI's improvement in morale is.
EDG also has the same determination to win.
——The world's strongest top and jungle team up, no matter whether they face the Hunger Strike Jungle King or the Taipei Wolf King.
"EDG's top laner is General, the jungler is our long-lost manager, the mid laner is Zzitai, and the bottom lane is JackeyLove and Meiko."
"RNG top laner Letme, jungler Karsa, mid laner Xiaohu, bottom lane UZI and Ming."
Wawa read out the starting lineup: "EDG's focus this season is similar to before, and they still rely heavily on the performance of the top lane. RNG, with UZI on the court, should play around the bottom lane."
"I just wonder if the factory manager will have that classic second-level catch again."
"And... Is Karsa a qualified fan?"
As soon as the words fell.
Waves of knowing laughter rang out in the audience.
Every professional player has fans.
But the factory director’s fans are definitely the most distinctive group.
Everyone wants to prove themselves in front of their idol.
After suffering a big loss, the factory manager also awakened the gene of "repaying (beating) fans", making every "fan meeting" very interesting.
The cheering signs at the scene were even more varied.
[EDG - Wherever you set your mind to it, you can achieve it]
【Brother Jie C me again】
[Clearlove7, we are the piglets you can’t kick away]
[Year of the Dog, may the puppies prosper]
【JackeyLove is a big head】
[Who dares to draw his sword and mount his horse? Only I, General Tiger]
…
In addition to the memes based on the players' performance, there are also the usual "Come on XXX", a scrolling confession bar edited by mobile phone software, and the waving of a giant 1.92*1.28 meter team flag.
"Now our LPL games are really becoming more and more formal."
Wawa recalled the early simple stage, which was not much better than the Internet cafe competition, and the environment where even the audience could throw water bottles at the players. He sighed: "Look at the players on the field, especially General and Factory Manager, they really have the feeling of superstars in traditional sports."
"Grand Slam + Double Champion Top and Jungle in the same year." Miller was not surprised by this: "Okay, it's time to Ban/Pick. RNG banned Gangplank, Vampire, and Twilight Astral Zoe."
"EDG banned Xayah, Caitlyn, and the jungler, Reda's Rek'Sai."
RNG top laner Letme has transformed from the high-spirited offensive teenager in LSPL to a blue-collar top laner specializing in tank heroes.
It would be a headache to face the captain and the vampire, two hooligans with the omen of theft.
Just block it.
EDG separated Xayah and Rakan, and at the same time prevented UZI, who had not played a formal game for quite some time, from getting Caitlyn, the AD who is most suitable for exerting suppression.
On the first floor, RNG grabs Ryze first.
EDG's first two picks were EZ + Tsar as double Cs, and after RNG picked Tam and Lee Sin, they brought out Braum.
Obviously, the pressure is on RNG.
The Tsar must have line rights in the early stage.
This is determined by the nature of the hero and has almost nothing to do with personal strength.
Because the Tsar uses the piercing normal attacks of the Sand Soldiers as his main means of output, during the duration of the Sand Soldiers, it is equivalent to continuously casting skills with no CD and no consumption.
EZ is a pure slacker and it's not a big problem for him to hang around in the bottom lane alone.
Combined with this, EDG is likely to storm the top lane and open up a breakthrough through Letme.
therefore.
In the second round, RNG did not hesitate to hold down Yasuo and Fiora, even though Fiora was less suitable for the game than at the same time last year.
EDG banned Varus first, and after thinking for a while, they gave the last ban to Vayne, obviously learning from the experience of Snake.
On the fourth floor, E DG chooses first.
Bring out the Dragon Blood Warrior, Shyvana!
“Huh?!”
Wawa's voice was filled with an inexplicable meaning: "In the first game of this season, will the factory manager use the retro Dragon Lady?"
"The last time Dragon Lady appeared was in the 2015 summer season."
"Could it be the top laner?" Miller has developed a habit of thinking about the top laner when he sees a strange hero: "I remember that in the game before this, it was Looper who used the top laner to punish Dragon Lady."
"It was okay then, but nowadays, Dragon Lady is not suitable to go up there..." Wawa held up his chin and thought: "In terms of control and tankiness, Ornn is better."
Speaking of this.
RNG only brought out Ornn and Ashe.
On the last floor of EDG, they added... the Void Reaver, Kha'Zix!
"Wow--"
“The show is about to start!”
"A mantis versus a lion dog, there are special effects, right?"
"League of Legends takes Kha'Zix's head, and Mantis evolves to full skills."
"6P6P!"
"Wuhu, take off!"
“…”
The barrage immediately became lively.
Not only did you get to see Dragon Lady after being away from the professional league for nearly three years, you could also watch the interaction between fans and idols, and there were also added hero easter eggs.
Don't look at too many things.
"I can only say that the factory manager understands fans!"
Wawa said, "Leo and Mantis, the show is about to begin. I hope the dragon's attributes can be refreshed peacefully, and both sides can fight more slowly, so that the junglers can reach level 16 to trigger the quest."
"I think it's very likely, because neither EDG nor RNG are lineups that can easily win a quick victory." Miller made a comparison: "Ornn's ability to stabilize the lane is second to none. Ashe's E opens up full map vision, and Tamtun provides human protection. RNG's lineup is really as stable as a rock in the early and mid-game."
"EDG is also unlikely to have any accidents. Tsar only needs to clear the lane, and EZ only needs to QQQ."
"That's right!" Wawa agreed. "The first match between the East and West will begin soon. Let's wait and see!"
