Chapter 778: The factory manager studies the opponent in the finals in the backstage
"To be honest, I'm tired of recording trash talk."
Live in Incheon.
In the center of the giant screen hanging above the venue.
When other players of EDG and IG appeared one by one and provoked each other.
Xing Dao stood behind the Summoner's Championship Trophy and calmly said the final words: "We have only one goal, and that is - the championship!"
The words fell.
The two teams walked along the central aisle to the main stage.
"EDG——"
"EDG——"
"EDG——"
With the thunderous cheers from the audience, the atmosphere reached its climax again.
The number of viewers on major live streaming platforms has reached an unprecedented peak.
The total number of viewers for the 2017 World Finals reached 170 million, making the e-sports event of League of Legends second only to top traditional sports and attracting the attention of leading brands in various industries.
This year.
In the final battle between EDG and IG, the number of people online at the same time has reached 230 million.
Among them, a full 190 million came from within the country.
Calculating how many people are watching a live broadcast room, almost one in seven people is following this game, which is close to one-third of the attention paid to the World Cup!
You know, the World Cup is a global event.
The S series is nothing more than a competition organized by a gaming company.
Being able to achieve such results is definitely a milestone record in the history of e-sports.
"Good evening, summoners!"
“This is the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, we are broadcasting live from the Incheon Munhak Stadium in South Korea.”
"I'm a doll."
"I'm Miller."
"I'm Ze Yuan."
The three commentators introduced themselves one by one.
As the controller, Wawa got to the point: "First, let me report the previous results. IG had the right to choose sides in games 1, 3, and 5. They first chose the blue side. When the top laner The Shy was at a disadvantage against General, they used split push to temporarily hold off the situation. However, EDG's mid laner Lissandra teleported to the jungle ward and started a teamfight by crossing the tower, thus destroying IG's resistance."
"In the second game, EDG chose the red side. The two sides exchanged heroes in the top lane. General used Irelia to set a clearing rhythm and once again led EDG to victory."
"The current score is 2-0. The red team has won all the games. The third game is about to begin."
"This time IG chose the red side." Miller continued, "I personally feel that for a team with top laners as the core, the red side is better. Let's see if IG can bring some surprises after two attempts to switch to the red side."
"For IG, they have no way out." Ze Yuan felt that he had been supporting IG before, so he decided to support them in return: "And there is also a factory manager in the EDG lounge. We should know that the factory manager is best at killing the familiar!"
I said this two years ago.
If you are not careful, you will be rushed by the "piglets".
Enjoy the one-stop service consisting of Wanzhu Gongta, Muay Thai warning, depression knife skills, and Weibo cremation.
But at this point.
Don't say that the phrase "good at killing familiar people" is half a compliment.
Even the classic 4396 has become an officially recognized meme.
Hearing Ze Yuan's ridicule, the barrage not only did not protest, but also brought out a series of provocative things such as "It's over if they catch him at level 2" and "The factory manager is studying the opponent in the finals in the backstage."
Wait until both parties are ready.
Enter the Ban/Pick interface for the third time.
"EDG is on the blue side, so they can ban first and pick first. Correspondingly, they lose the counter position on the fifth floor, so the AD top lane situation can be basically ruled out. We also have to guard against The shy coming up with an AD top lane."
“What to grab on the first floor is also a question that needs to be weighed.”
Miller first analyzed it from a technical perspective, and then read out the processing: "EDG's first two floors still pressed Syndra and Clockwork first to block Rookie's heroes. IG made a big change in the first two floors, banning Akali and Irelia."
"Banning 'Two Balls' is fine." Wawa spoke with facts: "Since EDG has won two games in a row with this Ban/Pick strategy, they can continue to use it. Besides, Rookie is indeed the biggest carry point of IG team this season... Look at the third floor, oh, EDG chose to ban the LeBron James that Xiye likes to use!"
"With Akali and Irelia gone, IG's third floor will definitely ban Aatrox." Ze Yuan analyzed his thoughts: "EDG handled it this way because they don't want to grab LeBlanc, nor do they want to give LeBlanc to Rookie."
"Yes." Miller nodded. "One of the two teams has a triple ban mid laner, and the other has a triple ban top laner. Their goals are very clear, but Galio, Luo, and Shen, the heroes that are good at opening the game, are all outside, and both teams are very good at them...EDG grabbed Galio!"
"Very reasonable." Ze Yuan made a hypothesis: "If EDG takes Rakan, IG can use Shen + Galio. If EDG takes Shen, IG can use Rakan + Galio, then just take Galio! The core of the charge system is Galio. Without Galio, the others are just decorations."
besides.
There is another aspect.
That is to limit IG's Xayah and Rakan combination.
After being weakened, Xayah and Rakan were downgraded from T0.5, which was second only to Skateboard Shoes in Season 7, to T1. Although they are at the forefront of T1, they are not heroes that can lock in an advantage just by using them.
Without Galio, it is relatively awkward for a single Luo to start a team fight.
Even though Baolan is very good at Luo, he may not choose him.
really.
In IG's first two moves, they locked on Kaisa + Thresh.
Kaisa is a half-grabbing and half-taking character. She can eliminate an AD flying to the back row and protect herself with invisibility, displacement and shield.
Thresh has triple control of REQ, which makes it relatively easy to restrict heroes that rush to his face. At the same time, Thresh's E [Pendulum of Doom] counters Rakan's W [Grand Debut] in terms of skill mechanism, reducing the possibility of Meiko using Rakan to a minimum.
It's EDG's turn to choose.
After some discussion, Aishtam was revealed first.
The reason for releasing Ashe is that after reaching level 6, with the support of Galio's R [Hero's Appearance], the detection of Ashe's E [Eagle Strike] allows the jungler to invade unscrupulously.
Tam is a player that EDG can protect and is also a very important part of EDG's tactical system. He has even been banned.
Since you are outside, of course you have to choose.
"IG picked Sion on the third floor, it seems like they want to stabilize the top lane."
Wawa looked at the screen and said, " Compared to other heroes, Sion has a big advantage in that he can rely on his passive to respawn and eat minions even when his tower is dived. There is very little point in targeting Sion, especially in the hands of The Shy. Although The Shy is easy to be caught and killed, he can often play a big role even if he loses the game."
"That's right." Miller shared the same view: "EDG banned Xin Zhao and Jayce in the second round, giving Rookie enough face, while IG banned Gangplank and Yasuo, making a five-ban top laner."
"Since Sion is picked, Gangplank and Yasuo still need to be banned." Ze Yuan expressed his opinion: "It would be too uncomfortable to let Gangplank or Yasuo develop without pressure against Sion."
"IG chose the fourth floor first."
"Ah...Zoe?!"
