Chapter 535: Even the designer can’t cut it anymore…
"Fuck, who wouldn't be confused by EDG's play in these two games?"
"Can games be played like this?"
UZI saw the "Did UZI take a shower?" lineup crushing the opponent and complained: "EDG has been really outrageous in the past two years . They don't even need to use their full strength in the LPL!"
"General is such a pervert!"
Compared with all the LPL mid laners, Zzitai is pretty good.
Not as good as the best.
I have a little more experience than the others.
But among the strongest teams, it is at the bottom level.
The factory manager had a brief moment of glory at last year's World Finals.
There has been a very obvious decline this year.
Except for data such as win rate and economy which are related to the overall strength of the team, it has basically fallen into the ranks of the second tier.
However.
It was this EDG that not only won the LPL championship, but also hid a very effective tactic.
In the MSI finals, they used it and beat the LCK champions KZ like a dog...
Oh, that's not right.
Worse than a dog.
At least UZI was not beaten into a bot during the match against EDG.
The reason why EDG can have such an exaggerated performance is obviously due to the top laner who has been the team's pillar since his debut.
"This guy has won two consecutive championships and a full-year grand slam, and all his main heroes have been nerfed to the ground. How can he still kill so many people?"
“I feel like the designers can’t do anything about General.”
Xiaohu sighed on the side.
Version 8.10 strengthened several relatively unpopular tanks and increased the strength of Bard and Kindred, but this change has basically no impact on the environment of the professional league.
The more critical aspect is the modification of jungle experience and bounty acquisition mechanism.
The bounty for the end game was originally shared equally by the entire team, but now it is shared exclusively by the person who made the kill.
For EDG, such changes are considered enhancements.
Because Xing Dao was rarely killed but killed others many times, it was easier for him to lead the EDG team to a comeback after version 8.10.
"You can't just stare at others and cut their meat." Xiao Ming interjected with a smile.
"You also came from YM, why can't you carry like General?" Mala Xiangguo joked.
“Please speak human language. I’m a support. How can a support be compared with a top laner?” Xiao Ming complained.
"The top lane is yours, I'll go support." Letme came over to join in the fun.
“Go, go, go!” Xiao Ming waved his hands repeatedly: “Give me the top laner and I can’t beat General. That guy is a monster!”
"It is indeed a monster!" Xiaohu agreed.
While talking.
EDG took the super soldier line in the middle lane and began to destroy the two hub defense towers in front of the KZ base.
Tam and the troll were forced under the high ground.
EZ alone, even with Invincible Cut and Trinity in hand, was completely unable to stop EDG's advancement and could only watch the buildings being destroyed.
18 minutes 41 seconds.
The picture freezes.
Compared with the previous game's Juggernaut, this game's Xayah and Rakan surrounded the mid and jungle and cooperated with the top laner Gangplank, producing even more exaggerated results.
This is the second fastest record to finish an MSI game after 1557.
"Congratulations to EDG for another win, 2-0!"
"EDG defeated KZ twice with a strategy that they had been hiding all along. They now have three match points and have an absolute advantage in terms of momentum!"
"More importantly...KZ doesn't have enough ban slots anymore!"
Wawa and Miller each gave a sentence to summarize.
In the first game, KZ deliberately released the Gem Swordmaster and fought according to the pre-made plan.
As a result... he was chopped silly by EDG's speed-changing swordsman.
In the second game, in order to grab the strongest AD hero EZ, KZ banned Irelia, who was a super model but posed certain risks, and was killed by EDG again.
In the third game, EDG got the right to choose the side again. As long as they switched to the blue side, there would be four extremely powerful heroes or combinations on the field: Irelia, Yasuo, Juggernaut, Xayah and Rakan.
Three ban positions will definitely not be enough!
…
On the hot lists of major media.
The news of EDG defeating KZ 2-0 once again topped the list.
Many viewers thought that after buying Peanut and working together for more than half a year, KZ had the ability to fight EDG head-on.
Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, EDG did not give KZ a chance to fight head-on.
It formed a complete crushing victory in terms of .
From being the best fighter in the division, to being a scheming... character.
It's just... too exciting!
…
"Trouble, trouble..."
"What should I do..."
KZ coach Sin couldn't even sit still on his chair and kept walking around in the lounge.
Hearing the contestant's footsteps, he got nervous and knocked the water cup on the table to the ground.
Snap——
Khan, who was walking in the front, just pushed open the door of the lounge and saw a puddle of water and flying glass fragments...
"Wait a moment before you come in, don't prick your foot."
An older analyst stepped forward and swept the broken glass aside with his coat.
It didn't take much time.
However, the occurrence of such a highly suggestive episode made the KZ players' mood, which was close to collapse, even worse.
You know.
All five members of KZ were defeated by EDG.
The psychological level itself is in a lower position.
If it is a balance or a small disadvantage, it won't be a big problem.
After being crushed in two games in a row...even veterans like PraY and GorillA have lost their fighting spirit.
"It doesn't matter."
"I have found a way to crack EDG's tactics."
KZ coach Sin suddenly had an idea: "In the third game, we are on the red side. The first and second floors can choose heroes together. Let them play Juggernaut, and we will play Xayah and Rakan in the mid and jungle."
"Xayah gets the red buff, and with the protection of Rakan, she can suppress the Blademaster in the early stage."
This paragraph is not finished.
The eyes of the KZ players all lit up.
Being able to win the championship of last year's summer season and this year's spring season in the LCK region consecutively, it is obvious that none of the KZ players are fools.
When I heard about Xayah and Rakan fighting against the Gem Swordmaster, I thought of the follow-up.
The combination of Gem Swordmaster has relatively high requirements in all aspects.
After all, the Juggernaut is a melee character with a relatively poor output environment. Even if he has strong lethality after being formed, his stability is much worse than that of a ranged carry.
If you want to use it in a competition, it requires a lot of testing and practice, and it can't be achieved overnight.
Even if they could choose it, KZ would never dare to choose it.
But... Xia Luo is different!
Let Xia take punishment, eat the mid lane soldiers and clear the jungle areas on both sides, and you can still put together a normal lineup. Any professional team can easily get started!
"You don't actually need to pick an AD for the bottom lane. It's better to pick a mage who can clear the lane quickly."
"Yeah, all AD damage is a bit monotonous."
"We don't need a support. We should choose a jungler with punishment to hang in the bottom lane. It will be useful for counter-jungling and stealing the dragon."
"What if EDG doesn't pick the Ruby's Blademaster? Xayah and Rakan mid and jungle will lose tempo compared to the normal lineup..."
"It's okay. If EDG doesn't pick Juggernaut in the first round, we can change the lineup. Even though Xayah and Rakan have been nerfed a bit, it's no problem to cover the bottom lane."
“That makes sense!”
"We must defeat them in this battle!"
“…”
After some discussion, the KZ members felt that they had found an effective tactical system, and their morale was boosted.
Although I dare not shout the slogan of "making a comeback from 2-0 down to 3-0 down", I have enough expectations for the third game...
