Chapter 88: No Big Legs, Just Playing with the Snake Team
Looking back at the second game, Tank's Ashe was relatively stable, and Sofm's Graves didn't have any major problems either.
The top and bottom lanes were played in a conventional way, but Snake still lost.
Chris and Zuo Wu were both very anxious and glanced at the bandaged man from time to time.
After discussing the tactics, the third game began.
In this game, the two sides fought more aggressively.
At 12 minutes and 45 seconds, the kill ratio reached 9-11. Snake was leading by two kills, but had almost no economic lead.
Snake wanted to expand his advantage, but RNG was able to hold on tightly.
The game lasted until the 39th minute.
Mata's Tam was caught by Snake because of his ward, and Sofm's roundhouse kick combined with Jiezou's Thresh control finally reduced RNG's number.
Snake immediately attacked the Baron, and RNG chose to join the team fight.
Because of the loss of Tam's protection, after Jiezou flashed to control Xiaohu's Viktor, Snake followed up with output and killed him instantly.
Uzi's Annie was targeted by the tank Ice Witch. Although he used E to block the Frost Ring with extremely fast hand speed, Uzi was still hit by Ice Witch's ultimate. In this team fight, Snake exchanged 1 for 4 and successfully took down the Baron.
RNG held on for more than six minutes, but Snake used the advantage of the super soldiers to get the ancient dragon. Mlxg failed to grab the dragon and was left behind. Snake rushed to the high ground and fought a decisive battle with RNG.
This team battle was thrilling. Xiaohu launched an explosive AOE and Uzi almost got the kill.
However, the damage of the Ancient Dragon Buff was still too high, and Snake won a thrilling victory with 3 for 4.
When Mlxg was resurrected, Snake's surviving Lee Sin and Gnar had already destroyed the old crystal with their super soldiers.
Snake got a hard-fought victory and avoided being swept, which also added suspense to this round of the series.
but……
After only half an hour, RNG used its strong performance to tell everyone that the suspense was eliminated!
At 20 minutes and 24 seconds, Snake's economy was 11,000 yuan behind, which was a Waterloo!
It was almost exactly the same as the way EDG defeated WE in the previous round. Snake was killed to the edge of the fountain, and Uzi's Lucian directly used the Holy Lance to kill Rumble who was fleeing to the fountain.
In the contestant's booth, Saint Spear let out a long sigh.
The head-to-head ratio of 16-1 is simply unbearable to watch.
Not only did Nakano collapse, but he himself collapsed as well.
3-1, RNG won the semi-finals and met EDG in the LPL finals!
In the contestant seats, Uzi, Xiaohu and others all looked happy.
Based on the points from the spring and summer seasons, regardless of whether they win or lose in the finals, they have already secured a spot in the S-League.
Unlike RNG's bright future, a thick haze has appeared on Snake's road ahead.
…
"Snake was beaten pretty badly, wasn't he?"
"Sister Li, Snake team hasn't used this lineup for a long time. They must be unfamiliar with it if they suddenly use it now. And think about it, the strength of this lineup was just so-so during the regular season. Without TheKing, Snake wouldn't even be considered a top-tier team in the league."
"Fuck, I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't compared them. Without Brother Goji, the gap between the Snake team and the team is so huge. They are no longer able to perform well! It turns out that Brother Goji is still the C!"
“Chris: Brother Goji, the team is in danger, come back quickly!”
A fan of the Snake team shouted: "It's numb, it's numb, I can't see the thermos cup on the Snake team's screen now, I feel really uneasy, please come back soon, wolfberry brother!"
“…”
Even the audience can see it, not to mention the professional data analysts and coaches.
In the past two months, after Snake finished a game, the backstage was rarely as silent as it is now.
Everyone realized it.
turn out to be……
It’s not that we are too strong, but that we have always been standing on the shoulders of giants.
But the giant is now wrapped in bandages.
The awareness of the players and coaching staff, as well as the voices from the outside world, were amplified once again one day later!
August 14th.
The loser of the semi-finals will compete for third place!
Once they get the third place points, both Snake and WE will be in the most advantageous position in the bubble match.
The third place winner of the 2016 LPL Summer Season can sit back and watch the fight on the first day of the bubble . On the second day, as long as they win a round of BO5, they can stand out from the four teams and advance to S6!
It was still five o'clock in the evening, and Snake was playing against WE.
Chris and Zuo Wu no longer have the same viewing experience as they did in the summer season.
The two of them sat on the bench, watching the game with worried looks on their faces.
Inside the studio:
"Sofm's cocoon hits, Xiye breaks it in an instant, and turns back to Chaos Storm!"
"Oh my god, this hurts !"
"Zero's troll sucked a sip from the tree, and Saint Spear couldn't handle it!"
"Brother-in-law created a perfect output environment, Snake was killed instantly! We are going to lose the team battle! "
"The tree is dead too. The spider killed the troll, it's useless. Tank's fan mother can't escape either. Condi's excavator knocked him up, the brother-in-law output, EZ's ice fist slowed him down, AA, one E to the face, death!"
"The resurrection time is too long. It's too late. We need another wave!"
“…”
"2-1, congratulations to WE for winning the match point!"
…
"Okay, the fourth game between Snake and WE begins!"
"Snake needs a more stable output point. It's not enough to rely on Crystal alone. Tank must have more AP output. Snake also needs to consider that we can't let Saint Spear take the big tree anymore. It's hard for him to be the carry."
“…”
Just like the commentators said, Snake chose Fiora on top lane and Emperor of Deserts on mid lane in the fourth game.
However, the effect is still very general.
In this game, WE held the match point and played more patiently. By taking advantage of Snake's several mistakes, they got an economic lead of more than 1,500 in about ten minutes.
WE ignored Saint Spear's Fiora and set their sights on the bottom lane.
At 11 minutes, a four-on-two attack killed the duo before Snake's mid and jungle arrived.
Saint Spear was being watched by 957's Poppy and had no chance to teleport at all.
WE took the next tower and collected two earth dragons in a row.
After a breakthrough was made in the bottom lane, Snake's mid, top and jungle cooperated to kill Poppy once, but the ideal 4-1 split push could not be achieved at all.
Perhaps there was something wrong with their mentality, Snake's rhythm became more and more chaotic. At 21 minutes and 34 seconds, WE saw the Snake duo showing up in the bottom lane and decisively started the big dragon.
Sofm failed to steal the dragon and flashed away.
WE didn't chase at all. After returning home to make equipment, they used the Baron Buff to break through Snake's two high grounds!
Less than five minutes later, cheers from WE fans rang out at the scene.
3-1, Snake lost to WE.
After this campaign, the pressure on the Snake club doubled and the voices from the outside world became louder and louder.
Especially under Snake’s official Weibo, it was about to be bombarded by fans.
The staff who manage the official account are also having a headache.
Brother Hao is injured, there’s nothing we can do!
…
During the next few days of the off-season, the owner of the Snake team came to the club, specifically to inquire about Li Hao's injury and brought a lot of supplements.
Li Hao even saw a box of exquisitely packaged wolfberries.
Looking at the Snake team boss's silly smile, Li Hao did not refuse.
…
An injury made many people face the reality.
There are big legs, that's the mighty Snake!
Without the big guy, it's just the Snake Team...
…
At night, Saint Spear returned to the room and said to Li Hao with a depressed look on his face:
"Brother Hao, please come back soon, I can't take it anymore!"
…
