Chapter 499: Can we 1v5 on the road?
Killing a team is a matter of course for EDG members.
It would be strange if the killing was not done cleanly.
Unexpectedly, this little thing was blown to the sky by the guy on the forum.
First, I want to praise A Shui for his deep hero pool. Seeing that ParY was able to copy EZ using the Mana Cut + Archangel style, he is worthy of being the number one AD player of the new generation .
I have to praise Meiko again for his clear thinking. He used R flash to save Xing Dao in the tense game. He is indeed a top-notch support with no flaws.
Even the GIF of Pose killing a vampire was cut out.
Things like the sword is still sharp, the gun is still strong, the former genius boy, playing DJ with his left hand and robbery with his right hand, killing Ruofeng into a unit of measurement, etc., are mentioned again and again.
As for Xing Dao...
It takes up more than 70% of the first few pages.
The most popular post was written by a master-level writer named 'Deep Blue Shadow'. Each wave of operations was introduced with pictures and texts, and all the details of each aspect were analyzed.
Finally, the conclusion is: "Some professional players only stay at the stage of 'muddling through', and have not even perfected the most basic operations ; some have perfected the operations, but are completely afraid to play, and only want to muddle through in the top lane and wait for other teammates to carry them."
"It's a legacy from the days of Tank League."
"The former top laner in the LPL region dared to use the Prince who exploded when his EQ was missed to fight against Rumble, and dared to use the Prince to fight against the melee bully Noxus. He was bombarded to the bottom by a cannon and four flying creatures, and immediately played a revenge story of 1v2 counter-killing."
"And the top laner Rengar went from being a nobody to carrying the entire game."
"There are top laners Ryze and Irelia killing NJ White Shield."
"There is a Gnar who is invincible in teamfights."
"Since then, there has been a gap in the top laners in the LPL. Those who choose offensive heroes get beaten up, and those who choose tanks can't withstand the pressure."
"Until Brother Jie came out of nowhere and once again told us how to play top lane, told us that we can choose the right heroes according to the lineup instead of sticking to traditional cognition, and told us that LPL top laners are stronger than those in other regions."
"Even though EDG was dragged down by Scout and failed to buy a top-level mid laner, and Zz1tai's condition is not that good, as long as Jie Ge is there, EDG will not be weaker than any other team!"
The responses below are almost overwhelmingly supportive.
After all, the LCK champion KZ is the LZ of last season. Khan, who was praised to the sky, was beaten into a pig head by Xing Dao half a year ago. Peanut, who plays the jungle position, was beaten every time he changed teams. It seems that being beaten by Xing Dao is a kind of consecration ceremony...
The other four...
A simple life of being a target and delivering points, a provincial team, and two European and American rookies, is there any pressure?
"The free guessing contest has begun. Please predict how many times Khan will be killed by Jay in this MSI."
"After two 0-8 games in the group stage, it's not too much to start with a double-digit loss in the knockout stage, right?"
"If it's less, I guess we can reach double digits in the group stage."
"Don't be careless. KZ is still very strong this year, and EDG's condition is not particularly good either. We still have to be careful."
"Yes, EDG's mid and jungle are not good, but they can still 1v5 in the top lane? (Dog Head)"
"Hey, you nevermind, it really works."
“…”
Such one-sided praise made the EDG players happy, but also made them feel a certain degree of pressure.
The hopes of the entire region rest on him.
If something goes wrong, the negative effects will obviously be hard to bear.
therefore.
Everyone took the initiative to increase their practice time.
During the spring season, Xing Dao did not specialize like he did last year, but instead worked hard to enrich his hero pool, because the stronger heroes in the S8 season are the new version of Irelia, the new version of Aatrox, and the new version of Akali.
Except for Irelia, the other two are still in the process of rework.
It’s useless to train heroes in the old version.
It is better to raise the proficiency of all heroes that can be used to the "Grandmaster" level or above.
With the support of ceiling-level basic attributes, grandmaster-level proficiency can crush most opponents.
If you encounter a stronger one, just use a character card to stack it up.
May 12th.
Second game.
EDG played against North American TL, giving Ai Loli a chance to play.
Unfortunately, Ai Loli's performance was rather average, and she even conceded two goals in her eagerness to show off.
If it weren't for the huge advantage of Xing Dao, A Shui and Meiko in the top and bottom lanes, TL might have really turned the tables.
After this game, we returned to the lounge.
Abu looked at Ai Loli, whose face was gloomy, and shook his head helplessly.
The more pressure some players are under, the more they can break through their own limits.
Unfortunately, Ai Loli is not that kind of player.
Game 4.
It was also a scene that attracted everyone's attention.
EDG and KZ, two teams that are currently undefeated, collided with each other.
"Hello, summoners, welcome back!"
"The upcoming matchup is between our LPL champion EDG and LCK champion KZ. Both teams currently have a 3-0 record. Whoever wins will push the other team to second place."
Ze Yuan and Rita appeared in the commentary booth.
Rita is the female commentator who entered LPL after Xiao Cang, MISS and Su Xiaoyan.
Compared to seniors who have played in professional competitions or have been commentators for many years and have a lot of experience, they rarely make mistakes when speaking.
When Rita first became an LPL commentator, she liked to interrupt others.
And there have been many misjudgments.
Once used as a vase.
If it weren't for his good looks, and the joke about driving a Mercedes and drinking a Warhorse, it's hard to say whether he could keep his job.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
Compared to Kris, who turned into a "one-stroke sister" in her first MSI commentary, the audience suddenly realized that Rita's level was actually pretty good...
For example, now.
"In the match between EDG and TL, Ai Loli was selected as the starting player. It was obvious that they wanted to try a different lineup, but Ai Loli played a little too impulsively, unlike Zhazhuang, who was mature and steady."
"I think it's better for Zweini to start against KZ."
Rita's words are more logical than those of Yi Bi Jie: "Khan used Cho'Garth, Shen, and Illaoi in the first three games. Compared with last season, Khan's hero selection is more inclined to team battles. This should be a point that EDG needs to consider."
"That's right." Ze Yuan agreed. "We have received the starting lineups of both teams. EDG's jungler is replaced by Zweitland. KZ's lineup is still Khan, Peanut, BDD, and the two masters PraY and GorillA."
"The players have already come on stage, let's take a look at how the Ban/Pick phase is handled."
The schedule for the group stage is arranged by the organizer.
Because EDG has performed better since S6, it has been targeted within the rules.
Not only were we on the red side in the first game against FNC, we were also on the red side in the first game against KZ, suffering a slight loss.
certainly.
This arrangement actually has no essential impact.
MSI is ostensibly six into four.
Excluding the wild card who is there to make up the numbers and has absolutely no chance of making a comeback, the list is actually five to four.
Those eliminated are either Taipei or Europe and the United States.
There have been no accidents in LPL and LCK so far.
In the first round of Ban/Pick, KZ banned Yasuo, Aatrox, and Vladimir, and released Irelia in imitation of daily life...
