Chapter 90 Happy Beer Man
On one side of the stage,
In VG's player seat.
Dandy yawned and subconsciously scanned the computer desktop while waiting for the BP. Then he realized that this was the computer used for the competition, not the club base computer, and there was no Happy Landlord on it.
Damn it!
During daily training, Dandy, who would play a game of Landlord every time he was waiting for BP, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
However, thinking about today's opponent in the jungle, according to the coach's description, it seems that he can have a good "fun" time, and he felt more excited.
After all, the S4 champion jungler is a truly "world-class player" with all attributes above 90 points.
After Samsung was disbanded, he came to LPL because the salary was definitely higher, but it doesn’t mean that Dandy wants to retire.
Same as Redmi observed.
After playing too many games, people will inevitably become numb. Only the occasional feeling of anticipation can really cheer Dandy up.
VG does need a game in which they can show their style and make a name for themselves, so that they can become one of the top clubs in the LPL by the end of the first round.
Today's IG is their stepping stone.
At this moment, the coaching staff on the field has already started BP.
…
"In this game, IG is on the blue side and VG is on the red side. Both sides have finished banning. IG has banned the strong Graves, Tsar, and Lulu in this version." Changmao said with a smile.
Joker next to him smiled and nodded, "Haha, this ban is obviously a sign of respect for the Lord. You can ban other heroes, but you really can't ban Tsar and Lulu. If you ban Rookie in the middle lane, he will have to face the defensive tower."
"What you said is a bit ridiculous, but VG's bans are also in line with local customs. Now many LPL teams basically accept IG's bans. The three bans in the middle lane directly lock the throat." Changmao smiled bitterly as he looked at the 'two balls and one girl' ban against Rookie on the red side.
Syndra, Clockwork and LeBlanc, Rookie relied on these three heroes to drag IG into the World Championship last year.
Seeing the bans from both sides, the comments in the official live broadcast room started to roll, and soon turned into a verbal fight between the fans of both sides.
"Is VG dirty? Do they dare to let IG play with LeBron?"
"It's so funny. You don't allow targeting in BP, right? Who else should you ban? Ban Zzitai? Or ban your jungler Sejuani and Gragas?"
"Damn it, I'm an IG fan and I can't stand it. Is there no one on this IG team who can help Rookie share some of the firepower during the BP?"
"Why are those IG sons of bitches so anxious? Didn't they claim to have changed their jungler and entered the 2.0 era? Shouldn't they aim for S6 this year?"
“…”
There was a lot of sarcasm in the comments in the live broadcast room.
In the IG competition room, coach Chris pondered for a moment and gave the first-hand position to the support.
"Coco, how was your hard support today?"
"Bull head? Sure."
"OK."
On the commentary desk, Changmao quickly said, "IG grabbed Alistar. Alistar is the hero with the highest appearance rate in the three weeks of the Spring Split. If I remember correctly, it should be 56.8%. IG chose Alistar directly after Graves was banned by themselves."
“Actually, I think IG is quite helpless.”
Joker smiled and shook his head:
"In this match version, the blue side basically goes for Graves first, but according to the information I have collected, IG's new jungler Padre6 is not good at heroes like Graves who rely on individual carry, so IG can only ban Graves on the blue side."
"Right. Let's look at VG. After IG bought Alistar in the first pick, they directly chose Kalista and Braum in the first and second picks. It's obvious that they didn't intend to let the opponent get the powerful combination of Skate + Alistar. This can be regarded as stealing."
"Well, Braum is the support with the second highest appearance rate after Minotaur in the current version, and the next one is Troll."
"Haha, the reason why the hero Troll has a high appearance rate as a support is that I think a large part of the reason is that many teams like to use Troll first to swing the three lanes, and then swing to the support position."
"Yes, we can see that IG did not hesitate much. After picking Alistar, they also locked in Ashe and Viktor, the mid and bottom duo, in their second and third picks."
"Viktor is a hero that can be picked first. He has no natural enemies. He is more versatile than Card. Rookie can beat anyone with him."
"What do you think of VG? Rookie has already made his move. Both of his best picks, Tsar and Lulu, have been banned. I don't think he'll pick Ziggs in this version, haha."
Along with the words on the commentary desk, the director's camera was also given to VG's competition seat, only to see VG first showing off their Corki when selecting players on the third and fourth floors.
But under the director's camera, Hou Ye turned around and shook his head at coach Hongmi, so the third hand quickly turned into the Ice Girl.
locking!
"Haha, Lord Hou is still Lord Hou. Once he picks up the Ice Maiden, the middle lane is secure. It's a bit difficult for Rookie to open a breakthrough in the middle lane this time."
"That's right. Once this hero Zhongya comes out and adds his ultimate skill, he is equivalent to two Zhongyas. He is a hero that can only watch helplessly when three of you come to cross the tower."
"VG's fourth floor also picked Nidalee, which is one of Dandy's signature heroes. It seems that their last counter position is given to the top lane."
"That's right. After all, the Troll is still outside. If you pick three mythical gods first, the opponent may pick the Troll. If you pick the Troll first, the opponent may pick Ekko and Fiora. I think it's okay to give this counter position to the top lane."
"What do IG say? Haha, I'm actually curious about what hero IG's new jungler Padre6 will choose. Will he choose Sejuani?"
“…”
On the left side of the stage, at the IG competition seat.
Coach Chris said, "Zzitai should be Fiora, Fu Ge, what are you going to pick this time?"
Li Fu glanced at the opposing team.
After two seconds of hesitation,
"Give me the barrel."
As soon as he said this, the competition area suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Fu.
The last training match against QG is still fresh in my mind. Li Fu’s Gragas is at best at the level of Happy Beer Man... Is he trying to prove himself?
But you will understand after playing more games.
People really can't be too hard on themselves. What is not suitable for you will eventually not be suitable for you. You have to learn to compromise in order to find a professional skill that is truly suitable for you and can intimidate your opponents.
"Brother Fu, do you want to change? The opponent's bottom lane is Skate, and it's easy for the hero Gragas to be shown off if his E misses." Chris asked tentatively.
He was afraid that Li Fu would take over.
This time, Li Fu did not follow suit.
He just said, "We lack control in the top, mid and jungle. I started from the bottom half and moved up. I'll help Zizi first. After all, the opponent has a counter position."
After hearing this, Zizhi suddenly felt that Brother Fu’s wine barrel was not bad either.
He immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Gragas is good! Gragas is good! He has displacement, control, and deceleration. If I can catch him successfully, I will destroy the opponent's top laner Nasus!"
The last time they played against OMG, his Fiora won an MVP. Zzitai missed that feeling very much and can't wait to relive the old days.
Chris thought about it and realized that the opponent this time was Nidalee, not Graves, so Li Fu just had to perform decently. At worst, he could just build some tanky stuff, so he nodded.
"Okay, then the barrel!"
…
"Barrel?"
Shark platform, Deyunse live broadcast room.
Xiaoxiao turned around and said to Xika in surprise, "Wow! This person dares to choose Gragas? He is really brave! To be honest, I really haven't seen such a brave player in many years."
Xika, who was standing next to him, tried to hold back his laughter, put his fist to his mouth and said, "To be honest, is there a possibility that Emperor Fu has learned from his mistakes and has mastered the Wine Barrel in the past few days? Even now, the Wine Barrel is his unique skill!"
"You can master a unique skill in three days? And then beat the champion jungler?" Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "Do you think it's possible? I just feel like two words right now, addicted. Fu Huang is really a little bit addicted this time."
Xiaoxiao paused at this point, then said with a smile, "I'm not being mean, I'm also an old IG fan. When I watched IG's game today, I definitely hoped that IG would win, but Fu Huang's Gragas was really a bit weird. Let me put it this way, if he can carry, I'll salute him, Salute!"
The barrage in the live broadcast room also began to scroll.
"Turtle, now that we have come to salute, does Emperor Fu have anything to say about his wine barrel?"
"If you ask, I have it. After all, I am the best jungler in the canyon."
"Damn it, can you please stop talking about your Fu Huang's Rank? Can Rank be the same as a competition?"
"Fu Huang: I will prove on this stage who is the world's number one wine barrel."
"Hehe, why do I have a feeling that Fu Huang's starting career is about to end."
"Turtle, is it that serious?"
“…”
I have to say that Li Fu's use of the Gragas reminded many people of the screenshot of the training match that QG jungler Swift posted on Weibo a few days ago and then quickly deleted. The data of the Gragas was really disappointing.
Unexpectedly, after being ridiculed by many people for a few days, he took out the barrel again in the official game against VG, which undoubtedly surprised many people.
…
LPL host on the commentary desk.
Changmao was also stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Joker who also opened his mouth slightly, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect Padre6 to be a barrel. I thought he would play Piglet."
"Let's be honest, there are some heroes that, unless you play them a few times, you really don't realize how unsuitable you are for them." Joker couldn't help but laughed and teased.
"You are being a little mean. Then let's look forward to Padre6's performance today. Now the red side VG has entered a long period of thinking about the last top lane counter position. What will they choose to fight against Fiora?"
"Poppy is actually pretty good. This hero can even counter Fiora's displacement. VG showed off a Poppy. Do you want to pick her?"
"Wait, we can see that VG's top laner Long Ge is communicating with the coach. It seems that they have different opinions. What do you think?"
"Oh! It's changed! VG's last pick is Wings of Demacia! Using Birdman to fight Fiora? Long arms against short arms?"
"It seems that Brother Long has watched Ma Run's game. I remember that Ma Run used Birdman to counter Fiora last week. This hero and Poppy are two heroes with different styles, but both are good counters to Fiora."
"Yes, do you want to lock it?"
With a clang sound!
VG finally locked onto the Wings of Demacia.
Coach Hongmi agreed with top laner Loong's suggestion. Since VG wanted to play with the momentum of the top team today, they must not play timidly.
At this point, the lineups for both sides have been finalized.
IG on the blue side: Fiora on top, Gragas on jungle, Viktor in the middle, Ashe and Alistar on bottom lane.
Red side VG: Birdman on top, Nidalee in the jungle, Ashe in the middle, Kalista and Braum in the bottom lane.
“Go IG !”
“Go VG!!!”
During the loading phase of the game, there was a burst of cheering from the audience.
Neither team is considered a popular team in Group B. There were not many fans present today and the cheers were evenly split.
——Many spectators at the scene actually came for EDG’s game at 7pm today.
…
"Go, go, go! Let's have a level one group!"
As soon as I entered the game, Zizi started shouting.
Rookie immediately objected, "Don't do it, it's better to be steady. You go to the upper jungle to defend, and the four of us will go around the river from the triangle grass in the bottom lane to check the situation."
"Okay." Zizi nodded.
He is just talking nonsense.
If a fight really breaks out and he sees the situation is not right, he will be the first to run away.
The top lane is the single lane with the strongest snowballing ability. If there is a slight disadvantage in the early stage, it will be very difficult to fight in the lane.
Li Fu listened to the discussion between Zizi and Rookie without saying a word.
Because from the moment I entered the game, the voice from the training match that had been silent in my mind for a while finally sounded again.
