Chapter 753: Void Crown... A fight in the void?
Within five minutes after the end of the first game, EDG submitted the side selection as required.
The three commentators Ze Yuan, Miller, and Wang Duoduo and the RNG team quickly received the news conveyed by the staff.
——EDG really took the initiative to choose the red side!
This time, Letme felt much more pressure than when he was facing level 5 Skateboards with level 1 Ornn.
The most frightening thing is never death.
It's the process of waiting for death.
Letme knew that there was more than a 90% chance that he would explode, but he didn't know how.
It's like a death row prisoner who has to endure one of a series of tortures such as burning with fire, beheading, quartering, disembowelment or slow slicing, and he can't even choose one... Ugh !
I can’t resist being able to choose by myself!
"Let's switch lines for the second game."
RNG coach Sun Dayong thought for a long time and made a decision: "It's okay that General can't get the counter position. His strength in the counter position is indeed beyond imagination. The help from other EDG players is also at no cost, which can't be calculated according to common sense."
"But EDG is very good at dealing with the lane-swapping tactics." UZI asked.
From the S6 finals to now, more than one team has attempted to use the lane-swapping tactic to deal with the EDG team, but none of them has achieved the desired effect.
In the last two times, the team that switched lanes was even tricked by EDG.
The death was even uglier than in a normal laning phase.
"hiss……"
Sun Dayong's face darkened slightly.
The words "What should I do?" almost came out of my mouth.
——Letme was destroyed when he was targeted a little bit, and it was a devastating destruction that no one could save him from. If he didn't change lanes and fight hard, wouldn't he be waiting to lose?
UZI said this subconsciously and realized something was wrong, but he couldn't say much, so he could only smile apologetically.
"EDG will deal with the lane swap, so we shouldn't show any signs of it!"
Heart, who was in charge of the BP on stage, expressed his opinion: "We can come up with a lineup that doesn't seem to be suitable for lane swaps and force them to swap... Anyway, there is no damage reduction mechanism under the tower, so no matter which hero you use to swap lanes, you will have to sacrifice the first blood tower. It doesn't matter if you destroy it slowly, as long as you limit General's development."
"Yes, that's what I mean." Sun Dayong agreed.
The other RNG members thought about it carefully.
They all think it makes sense.
certainly.
It must be admitted that forced line change is not a good solution.
But no matter how bad the solution is, it is better than having no solution at all.
After reaching a consensus on the strategic level, the RNG team began to discuss the tactical level, namely Ban/Pick and subsequent operations and trade-offs.
Coaches, players and team analysts expressed their opinions.
From time to time, a few arguments broke out.
It was not until I went on stage again that I came up with a rough strategy.
"Dear summoners, welcome back!"
"This is the scene of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship - semi-finals. The two teams are our LPL No. 1 seed EDG and LPL No. 3 seed RNG... The winner will compete with LPL No. 2 seed IG for the final championship at Incheon Munhak Stadium on November 3!"
Miller said this with a proud tone: "Such an introduction is really encouraging!"
"That's right!" Ze Yuan said with a smile: "Let me introduce it to the audience who didn't have time to watch the live broadcast just now - RNG rolled the dice to win, and got the right to choose the side in games 1, 3, and 5. In the first game, they actively chose the blue side."
"The result of the game was RNG lost to EDG."
"EDG picked the red side in the second game. The positions of the two teams did not change, and there were no changes in the personnel. Let's see if there will be any new treatment in the Ban/Pick stage."
"It seems not..." Wang Duoduo added while looking at the big screen.
Even if RNG is on the blue side, there are two fixed ban positions for Akali and Irelia.
The third one must also be the captain.
What ?
No need to ban Gangplank for lane-swapping tactics?
Put the AD and support up, and ask a jungler to cross over?
Good idea.
very good.
FNC, who were defeated by EDG in the quarterfinals, also thought so.
——A tank is a must-choose in the top lane. If you don’t ban it and develop normally, it’s like a money-stealing captain who comes into the game with a big item. Who doesn’t know what he wants to do? !
The first three banned players of EDG were Malzahar, Taliyah, and Aatrox. In response to the hero chosen by Xiaohu in the previous game, they released Syndra, who can only kill one second and has a relatively average effect in team battles.
On the first floor, RNG is preferred.
Revealed...the Daughter of the Void, Kai'Sa!
"oh--"
Ze Yuan dragged out a long tone: "UZI still believes in his Kaisa. This is the AD hero that UZI picked the most in the LPL Summer League, with a win rate of 72.7%. Although Kaisa's performance in this World Championship has declined after the passive damage was weakened by 5%, the strength of a hero depends not only on its own strength, but also on the level of the operator."
"That's right." Wang Duoduo used EDG's main player as an example: "General has carried the game against the odds more than once. We all said that Shen was nerfed to the point where he was not suitable for top lane, but General was able to win the game with Shen."
"EDG's first and second floors are Leblanc and Tam." Miller read out the names: "Leblanc didn't play a significant role in the last game because Malzahar's deterrence was too strong. Without Malzahar in this game, Xiye's performance with Leblanc is worth looking forward to."
"Tahm Kench has a good effect in both protection and support... For example, he drives people to the opposite high ground."
We chatted briefly.
The subsequent candidates have been finalized.
The second and third floors of RNG are Lao Niu and Lissandra respectively.
The third floor of EDG is Gragas.
Enter the second round of Ban/Pick.
In the last game, RNG banned Yasuo and Shen. In this game, they changed their strategy and banned two AD top laners, Skate and Lucian.
EDG banned Sion and Ornn.
Fourth floor.
EDG chooses first.
A-Shui picked up Varus in a conventional way and left the Counter position to the top laner.
"EDG's mid, jungle, bottom and support are still the same four as before."
"no problem."
"If you win with a system, as long as your opponent doesn't crack it, you can keep choosing."
Ze Yuan expressed his opinion: "RNG's fourth and fifth floors are Lee Sin and Poppy. Poppy's charging hammer is a big variable. Before the team fight, knocking up key heroes and fighting with more people against fewer people will greatly increase the chances of winning."
"And Poppy can restrain EDG's rush dragon to a certain extent." Wang Duoduo rolled his eyes: "When EDG is rushing the dragon, Poppy can use a charged R, and maybe they can take over."
"Really? Poppy has something to say!" Miller realized: "If Poppy uses her ultimate, Lissandra, Agni, Lee Sin, and Kai'Sa will all enter the game together. Even if RNG is behind in economy, EDG may not be able to hold on."
"It's a bit early to tell now." Wang Duoduo pointed out an important thing: "The General hasn't been selected yet!"
The first nine heroes appear.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the last one, which was the choice of EDG's top laner.
RNG made changes after losing a game and came up with a combination that was theoretically threatening enough to pose a threat to EDG, but all of this is not settled yet.
——In the EDG team, there is a unique top laner who is capable of turning the tide and changing the entire situation!
