Chapter 759: Without saying a word, he took out his weapon and rushed forward!
"IG at this time has made great progress compared to IG in the spring and IG in the summer."
Ze Yuan praised: "After EDG introduced Xiye in the summer season, the team members have been getting better and better. EDG is now at the peak of their season. Although we jokingly called today's game the LPL resurrection match, the quality is no worse than any of the previous finals."
"Let's think about it from a different perspective." Wawa agreed with his partner's point of view: "EDG is the strongest team in the history of League of Legends, right? IG defeated the Galaxy Battleship KT, how many other teams can do that?"
"That's right." Miller nodded. "The top, mid, bottom, jungle, and support players of EDG and IG are among the best in the world, or even the best."
"The game is about to start. Let me introduce some information about the game to you."
"IG won the dice roll and got the priority to choose the side in games 1, 3, and 5, and took the initiative to choose the blue side in the first game. After RNG was defeated by EDG, IG chose the blue side, which was really a very confident choice."
What does it mean to choose the blue side in the first game?
It means there is no way out!
The reason is that EDG is on the red side, and the world's strongest top laner can bring out the most advantageous hero. He will not be countered by his opponent and will hardly be restricted by the lineup.
If IG was the same as RNG, they would have lost the first game because their top laner was out of control.
The second game was almost unplayable.
certainly.
Look at it from a different angle.
If EDG loses the first game, the rest will be equally difficult.
After all, the two teams were fighting a bloody battle. Any shortcomings in any position are likely to cause a domino-like effect.
“However, there is a trend in this version.”
Ze Yuan analyzed the performance before the finals: "The red team's top lane is more vulnerable to ganking. This is not determined by the team's style, but the influence of the terrain - the blue team has a whole wall on the right, while the red team has a three-way intersection and a patch of grass on the right."
"EDG's core is the top laner, and IG's Ning also likes to do things around The Shy. The conflict in the top lane may be very intense."
While talking.
The camera turns to the contestant seats.
Miller began to introduce the starting lineup: "IG's starting lineup is top laner The shy, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, AD Sima Laozei, and support Baolan."
"EDG's starting lineup is General, jungler Jiejie, mid laner Xiye, AD: Jackeylove, support Meiko, and Zz1tai is observing the situation in the background, with four chickens in the cave."
"EDG has an advantage in this regard." Wawa pointed out: "Looking at the records of the two seasons, Duke has a hard time withstanding the pressure from General, which means that IG's roster is basically locked, while EDG can not only use Jiejie, but also Zz1tai, so they have two different lineups to use."
"Both have advantages and disadvantages." Ze Yuan summarized: "Okay, both sides have entered the Ban/Pick phase, let's see how to deal with it!"
The camera swept across the Summoner's Championship Trophy.
First zoom out and overlook the entire stage.
Immediately get close to the big screen.
The BP interface was played.
IG was on the blue side and took the initiative to ban a Leblanc.
From the perspective of the matchup, Rookie, who is at the peak of his powers, will certainly not be afraid of Xiye's Ahri.
but.
It is very difficult to deal with Xiye's Ahri when she is focusing on pushing the lane at the side.
Especially with Xiye and Xing Dao each leading one lane, forming a 131 advancement, it was even more difficult for the small IG with relatively poor operational capabilities.
It's EDG's turn.
Ban Akali on the first floor.
Although Irelia and Aatrox are strong, at least there are ways to counter them.
Akali's W [Twilight Shroud] is really unsolvable.
In addition, The shy performed well in both Rank and training games. EDG believed that they could play Irelia and Aatrox, but they really couldn't play Akali.
Second and third floors.
IG banned one Lucian and one Skateboard Shoes.
EDG banned Syndra and Clockwork.
"IG wants a normal matchup, and everyone can just play with regular heroes."
Miller commented: "This treatment is actually expected. Although The shy and General can both play AD top lane and use them very well, The shy should be chosen first and General should be chosen later."
"The shy takes AD top lane first, he might be targeted and exploded."
"Pick another hero first, or you might get beaten by the AD top laner."
"Yes, AD top laners are indeed afraid of being targeted." Ze Yuan recalled: "A few days ago, many players used AD top laners to stir up trouble in the Korean server King's League. There were many examples of players who were caught out after picking them first, and some even encountered Pantheon, the master of special skills, and were killed under the tower."
"EDG banned two of Rookie's 'two balls and one chicken', limiting IG's strongest point."
IG on the blue side chooses first.
Light up Kassadin.
But not sure.
After a short wait, it changed to Irelia.
Compared to Aatrox, who has weak combat effectiveness during laning and mainly relies on team fights, Irelia has a more comprehensive period of power and is a hero that is more suitable for swinging between the mid and top lanes. The effect of going to the middle lane is even better than going to the top lane.
In EDG's first two moves, they locked onto Aatrox and Tam respectively.
"The Sword Demon must be taken."
Wawa saw the expected scene: "For the three heroes, Aatrox, Irelia, and Akali, either none of them should be used, or each side should use one. If all of them are used by the opponent, it will be very embarrassing, because any one of them can have a chance to lead the team to win the game."
"That's right." Miller continued, "Tam can protect the back row heroes who are cut off, and in the EDG team, Tam can also be used as a strategic hero for transition, so he has a high priority."
"IG's second and third floors are... Yasuo and Galio, they are about to charge!"
"IG's Ban/Pick design is good." Ze Yuan saw it: "IG picked Irelia, EDG must pick Aatrox, and there is a high possibility that they will pick Tam against Irelia. IG can just lock down Shen and Galio behind Irelia, and the three-charge system will be formed. The pressure on EDG's back row is a bit too much!"
The first thing EDG's back row faced was Irelia's group disarmament.
Next.
There is also Shen's headlock + Galio's group knock-up, and the unreasonable follow-up control.
The living space has been squeezed to a thin line.
Even with Tam, the situation was extremely embarrassing.
——It is true that Tam can protect, but if Tam swallows the C position, it means that EDG loses the output that this C position can provide!
During the pulling process, it doesn’t matter if there is less output from the C position.
It's rushed to the face, and there's a lack of output from the C position, who can withstand it?
In previous Ban/Picks, EDG was often able to rely on the top laner's unrivaled personal abilities to restrict the opponent's movements. They were always thinking about how to protect the top lane and how to deal with situations where the top laner was in an absolute disadvantage, thereby gaining the initiative in the entire game.
This time.
Little IG doesn’t care about that.
Without saying a word, he took out his weapon and rushed forward!
