Chapter 760: Meeting at the top, the battle for the throne!
"These guys from IG are quite fierce!"
BP coach Maokai's face became a little more serious when he saw Shen and Galio being picked: "But it doesn't matter. There are advantages - the mid lane doesn't have to be afraid of Irelia, and Galio definitely can't be placed in the top and bottom lanes."
In the past two years, Maokai has been called a "slacker coach" by the outside world.
The reason is that in the EDG team's public voice, Maokai's performance was almost the same as that of a beggar on the street.
The most common words beggars say are: Please be kind.
Maokai's most common words are: OK, OK, good.
From the audience's perspective, what heroes EDG chooses during the game is mainly decided by the players and has nothing to do with the coach.
Since Ban/Pick has nothing to do with the coach, what is the difference between this coach and the guy who orders takeout and books a room?
Even Maokai considers himself a scoundrel.
And feel complacent about it.
What's wrong with being mixed up?
I can get by!
If you don't agree, why don't you try one yourself?
and.
Having said that.
It is not particularly easy to successfully mix in the field.
Some coaches don’t even know how to manage their game, and their role is completely negative when they are on the field. It is better not to have them.
From this perspective, Maokai is not as good as the best, but better than the worst.
Although he is not extremely skilled, he has basic knowledge and understanding, can provide logistics and data support for the team, and can also find and fill in the gaps at critical moments.
For example, now.
Galio has the ability to swing in three directions.
He can play in the top, middle and support positions.
But.
Taking into account the personal styles of The shy and Xing Dao, and the fact that IG is on the blue side and must first show the entire lineup, the possibility of IG giving The shy top laner Galio can basically be ruled out.
——What’s the difference between playing Galio in the top lane and letting the Aatrox run wild?
Galio and Shen can't kill him together. He can recover health, activate R and revive. He can even move during the revival process!
Support Galio...
It's even more unrealistic.
The combination of Sima Laozei and Baolan is almost half a level weaker than A Shui + Meiko.
Then pick a hard support that is naturally countered by Tam and even the flash forced to open is meaningless.
Don't be afraid of being killed in the bottom lane.
This shows.
When IG picks Galio, there is a 99% chance that he will be the mid laner.
There is still a 0.1% probability?
It doesn't matter!
EDG just needs to force him to play mid!
"With Galio coming to mid, I feel less pressure. I just need to defend the jungler."
Xiye smiled and said, "I'll get a hero for myself first. They use the charge system. Isn't it good for me to use Lissandra to fight back? I can also take the initiative when necessary."
"Don't worry, choose it last." Maokai considered it more comprehensively: "First, an AD, the Sword Demon can swing, and a strong AD will not be banned."
Xiye Lisandra's proficiency is not high.
Because no matter whether it is WE, one of the "Big Three" last year, or WE, which has become a lower-tier team this year, they both need Xiye to step up and carry the game.
Therefore, Xiye uses strong heroes that can drive the rhythm in WE.
The most representative one is Leblanc, the Deceiver, who was banned.
After joining EDG, Xiye gradually mastered Lissandra in Rank and training matches, but his level was only "usable", and he couldn't say he was very good at it.
But...
You don't need to be particularly good at playing a hero like Lissandra.
Especially when facing a Galio, you don’t even have to consider mutual consumption, just keep a safe distance and push the line.
You can choose.
But don't rush.
The first is that IG should not pay a quota to ban Lissandra.
The second is that although EDG wants to put Aatrox in the top lane, IG doesn't know that as long as EDG's mid-lane hero doesn't come out, IG must consider the issue of swinging.
"EDG's third floor is Xia, who has the R skill [Storm Feather Blade] to counterattack."
Ze Yuan compared heroes: "Kai'Sa is actually pretty good at preventing cut-ins, but Kai'Sa's E skill needs to evolve to become invisible. Before that, she can't deal with being locked by the Steel Shadow. As for Xayah, once she develops to level 6, she can just use her ultimate when she sees the Steel Shadow rushing in. She also has an E [Hook] that can pull feathers for control."
"Xayah + Tam, their self-protection is really maxed out." Miller echoed: "And in the second round, EDG can ban Kai'Sa and prevent IG from getting it."
really.
Enter the second round of Ban/Pick.
IG banned Gragas and Lee Sin.
EDG banned Kaisa and Lao Niu.
Fourth floor.
EDG chooses first.
The two junglers with counter-control capabilities were both pinned down. After some discussion, EDG gave Jiejie the Berserker - Olaf.
"Olaf is great!"
Ze Yuan's comment: "Olaf is immune to control when he uses his R, so Galio's knockup and Irelia's disarm are all ineffective. He even dares to use his body to block some of his teammates' skills. In addition, EDG's Aatrox and Xayah + Tam are both difficult to find a rhythm in the early stages of the game. Olaf, who has a fast jungle clearing speed and is relatively strong in fighting, can make up for this."
"Ning's Shen must avoid Olaf and not confront him head-on."
"Shanxi develops too slowly." Wawa finally got a chance to interject: "Olaf is at least half a level higher than Shanxi. If he can gain an advantage, he could even be level 6 against level 4."
"That's right." Miller looked at the subsequent picks: "IG's fourth and fifth floors picked Varus + Rakan for the bottom lane. Old Ze's Varus and Baolan's Rakan both performed very well, with 100% win rates in six games and five games respectively. Let's see what EDG will choose in the end. Will the Sword Demon go mid or top..."
"oh!"
"The fifth floor is Lissandra, so Aatrox is the top laner!"
After some adjustments.
The lineups of both teams have been confirmed.
Blue side: IG
Red side: EDG
Top lane: Irelia vs Aatrox
Jungle: Shen vs Olaf
Mid: Galio vs Lissandra
AD: Varus vs. Xayah
Support: Luo vs Tam
“It’s wonderful!”
"The two sides responded to each other's moves in this match, and there were many things to say about both the positional matchups and team fights."
Ze Yuan made an analysis: "In the confrontation between Irelia and Aatrox, Irelia has some advantages, but considering the jungle, Irelia + Shen is at a disadvantage against Aatrox + Olaf - first give the skills to Aatrox, and then see Olaf, it is difficult to beat him; it is also difficult to chase Olaf who has his ultimate skill and is immune to control."
"In teamfights, IG can charge with all its players except Varus, but EDG's protection and counterattack capabilities are definitely not bad either."
"That's right." Wawa nodded: "This is the quality of the finals. EDG and IG have been pulling out all the stops since the BP!"
While talking.
In the center of the big screen, the image of the main stage fades away.
It changes into a poster of the IGvsEDG matchup with the Summoner's Championship Trophy as the background.
After a few seconds, switch to Summoner's Rift.
"IG——"
"come on!"
"IG——"
"come on!"
"IG——"
"come on!"
…
"EDG——"
"come on!"
"EDG——"
"come on!"
"EDG——"
"come on!"
The uniform and clear Chinese shouts turned the entire Incheon Munhak Gymnasium into the home court of the LPL region.
The two LPL teams that have defeated all strong opponents meet at the top and compete for the final throne!
