Before the game started, in order to liven up the atmosphere, the previously recorded pre-match trash talk was played on the big screen at the scene.
957: "Flandre better restrain himself. I hope the top lane can develop peacefully. Otherwise, he will know that I have a good brother named Kangdi."
Saint Spear Brother: "I feel like I won't lose today. Why? Last night I accidentally saw a calendar on the table. It belonged to Brother Hao, and it already had the schedule for S6 planned on it."
Kangdi: "It's not easy to grab a dragon, but I still want to try it today."
Zzr: "Before Snake attacked the Baron, WE should have been beaten into Ace."
…
Xiye: "In the playoffs, we easily defeated Snake. The same result would have happened if TheKing had been substituted in. His injury has not healed yet. I suggest that he should recover from his injury before playing again. Otherwise, bullying an injured veteran is not a glorious victory for me."
TheKing: "I like playing with young players. In addition to feeling their energy and enthusiasm, I can also teach them a few lessons. This is also an obligation of LPL veterans."
…
In the studio, the Haier brothers and Colonel Guan were all laughing.
"The two teams refused to give in to each other and the atmosphere was quite tense."
"It's normal. After all, this BO5 round is related to the World Championship spot."
Colonel Guan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm quite curious if what Saint Spear said just now is true. Has TheKing really planned out the schedule for S6?"
"Don't take it seriously. If you say that, the factory manager will have a lot to say."
Wawa imitated with a sly smile: "I've been watching the finals of other regions recently and studying the opponents of MSI."
"Hahaha……"
…
At the EDG base, the young man with a bowl-cut haircut who was watching the live broadcast tilted his mouth as he looked at the three bastards messing around in the commentary booth.
You are blackmailing me again!
Your number is gone!
…
"Okay, both players have come on stage. TheKing has been confirmed as the starting player and will go straight into the first match."
"TheKing's injury hasn't healed yet, so he really has to fight hard to start today!"
"WE has the priority to choose the side, and they chose the blue side in the first game."
"Equipment debugging is complete, the first BO5 match between the two sides officially begins!"
WE took down Card, Lissandra and Gangplank.
Sanke took down Apocalypse, Vampire and Wheel Mother.
"WE's first-team player picked Taliyah. This hero's pick rate in the entire summer season was 7.8%, but it's been quite popular recently, often taking the lead. The recent win rate has also reached 57%."
After Wawa finished speaking, Colonel Guan on the side continued, "I looked and saw that Xiye has also used Taliyah to gain points in the recent Rank, with a very high win rate. He is very confident in using this hero. Combined with WE's second pick in this game, it must be a tactic prepared in advance."
“That makes sense.”
Miller echoed, "Tialah's ability to push the lane is very strong, and he can play fast-paced with support. In the current version, only Dragon King Thor can match him. However, as everyone knows, Dragon King was removed by default due to a bug, and I'm afraid he won't be released until the World Championship."
"We also have to look forward to what hero TheKing will use to fight against the opponent."
In the LCS Summer Season, in the match between TSM and CLG, Bjergsen played against Huhi. In the perspective, the Dragon King sphere appeared in the last place where the vision disappeared, and the Dragon King has been banned since then.
Moreover, this is not the first time that the Dragon King has had a bug.
Snake went to the first and second floors and selected Ike and the excavator.
WE on the second and third floors, locked onto Nalgatam.
Although Tam was taken away, Snake still chose Ashe on the fourth floor.
On the third floor, Braum was selected.
WE didn't have to hesitate at all and directly took the powerful armor-piercing Fate Master in this version, making the lineup's rhythm ability stronger.
In the end , WE’s jungler hero was confirmed to be Spider.
On the fifth floor of Snake, an avatar appeared.
There was a small commotion at the scene.
"Male sword?"
"TheKing is going to take the male knife again?!"
"In the last round, he left a deep impression on us when he played against IM's male knife. Athena's Tsar was beaten very badly."
The camera turned to Snake's fifth floor, and Jiezou himself couldn't help laughing, it was obvious that he was making a prank.
"Brother Hao, what do you want?"
Jiezou asked as he changed his profile picture, Chris wanted to take Victor a little bit, but he didn't make his idea his first choice.
Given Li Hao's current position in the team, everyone will agree with whatever hero he wants to play, as long as it's not too weird.
Li Hao looked at the lineup. There have been no major changes to Taliyah at present, and the strength of the mid laner is fully met.
This is mainly because of Taliyah's Q skill. Before the revision, each rock of Taliyah's Q would cause damage in a small area, and only cause 40% damage to the same target in the future. After the revision, the subsequent 40% damage became 50%, but the small area damage of Q became a single-target skill.
Therefore, the current Taliyah with fast wave clearing is suitable for the mid lane, and the Taliyah with higher single-target damage and its own passive is more suitable for the jungle.
Li Hao already had a plan in mind.
If I can't push you away, I'll kill you!
…
"Oh~! Robbery!"
"It's locked, this is really not a joke!"
A burst of cheers immediately rang out at the scene.
Miller analyzed: "There is no problem for Shadow Lord to fight against Taliyah online, but this hero has a 0% ban rate throughout the summer, only 5 appearances, and a win rate of 40%. In addition to EDG's Scout, the remaining winning game was also played by TheKing!"
"I'm sure everyone still remembers the peak battle between TheKing's Zed and Emperor Yasuo."
Wawa smiled and said, "Xiye, be careful this time. Although TheKing's injury has not healed yet, he is the real king of single kills in the summer season!"
“…”
The heroes swap positions and the lineups of both teams are locked:
WE vs Snake:
Top Unit: Gnar vs. Ekko
Jungle position: Spider vs Excavator
Mid: Taliyah vs Zed
ADC: Jhin vs Ashe
Support: Tam vs Braum
…
The coaches on both sides shook hands and the game officially began!
Li Hao has ignite and flash, and goes out with a long sword and a reusable potion.
From the small map, we can see that both sides are standing along the river.
Li Hao also saw Taliyah in the middle lane. Xiye had flash and weakness, plus the weakness on Tam, the double weakness lineup was obviously meant to lock in Zed's entry.
In the river of the upper half, both teams' top and bottom lanes appeared.
At 0 minutes and 44 seconds, Gangzi's Ashe was at the bottom river and saw Tam who had just walked into the grass in the river, and Jhin who was leaning against the wall of the dragon pit.
At this time, Jiezou's Braum was squatting in the grass in the middle of the river.
Li Hao immediately controlled Jie to take a step forward, and he and Xiye made feints back and forth. Both heroes had learned the Q skill, and they seemed to want to consume each other.
The range of Taliyah's Q is 1000 yards, and that of Multi-Robbery is 100 yards. Li Hao's positioning was very accurate, and Xiye's control of the distance was also very good, and the Q skill was never used.
"Jiezou, you can give vision now."
"OK, I understand."
Of course Li Hao's move was not in vain. Xiye's position was deceived a little, and since he knew the position of every member of WE, Braum successfully reached the opponent's red zone and inserted the trinket eye on his body into the position of WE's stone monster at 0 minute and 53 seconds.
Success, WE didn’t notice!
Gangzi immediately went to the river. With Braum at level 1, he could definitely cause trouble.
Under normal circumstances, both Jhin and Tam come online with two stone monsters at level 1.
At 1 minute and 33 seconds, the Snake duo crouched in the bush behind WE's red buff.
"Ding!"
The moment Toad and Cinder showed up, Li Hao sent out a signal.
At 1 minute and 40 seconds, Brother-in-law and Zero decisively started with the small stone monster.
Zero licked the small stone monster with his tongue just like he did in his usual training. He immediately used W to swallow the big monster next to it, and then spit it at the small monster. Jhin attacked with another A, and the small monster was severely damaged.
Just when the brother-in-law was about to take the finishing blow as usual, thousands of ice arrows were fired at once, creating a rain of icy blue arrows.
This not only snatched away the stone monster, but also slowed down Jhin!
Braum, who was carrying the security door, smashed the ice hidden inside the door towards the cripple. The 70% attenuation slowdown and a layer of shocking blow effect made the Fate Master unable to move instantly.
"Watch the fortune teller! Ace him! Ace him!"
Gangzi and Jiezou were both shouting, and the supports on both sides immediately cast Weakness on the opposing AD.
Ashe attacked Jhin, and Brother-in-law didn't dare to fight back. Ashe attacked him again, and Braum walked up to his face and attacked him again, triggering his passive skill. The Fate Master was stunned for 1.25 seconds, and with the consumption of wild monsters, his health dropped by half.
Tam stretched out his long tongue, turned into a licking dog, and licked Han Bing wildly.
Braum and Ashe ignored Tam and chased after the A-listerer, forcing the brother-in-law to flash.
However, Tam also licked the ice red.
When the taste is cultivated to the third level, the 14-second CD of Big Eats will be ready, and Tam's W will be able to cause at least 20% or more percentage damage.
Jiezou turned around and used his passive on Tam, but Zero ignored him and swallowed the Ashe in one gulp.
Jhin, whose health had recovered after taking drugs, turned around, and after Ashe was spit out by Tam, he turned back and used a Q to bounce from Braum to Ashe's head, and then launched another normal attack.
Brother-in-law is no longer weak. Now Braum can't touch him. He is not afraid of A against Ashe. He also has the passive Whisper of the 4th Gun.
Ashe couldn't just leave Tam alone, so she turned around and attacked Braum's close-range Tam. Zero had just been hit by the stone monster, and the two of them instantly beat him to low health.
Brother-in-law gave a healing treatment, Crystal brother also gave up the healing, and Zero flashed away to the second tower in the bottom lane.
Under the pressure of Jhin, Ashe also flashed through the wall of stone monsters. Except for Braum's flash, all other summoner skills were used.
Although Gangzi had the chance to replace Tam and get the first blood, his own kill would definitely be taken by the Master, and Dajiu-zi would be able to reach the lane and eat the enemy, which would be a big loss.
At 2 minutes and 22 seconds, when the duos on both sides came online, the second wave of soldiers had already arrived on the line.
The four people's panels, except for Doran's Blade, they only have the Relic Shield, and all the potions have been used up.
A passionate PK in the bottom lane had just ended, and the OB director immediately turned the camera to the middle lane.
Taliyah pushed the line, and Li Hao's Zed couldn't stop him.
However, the jungler choices of both sides are obviously different.
Kangdi starts from the blue buff, then F4, red buff, and then he can quickly reach level 3 to support the bottom lane.
The excavator does not require blue buff. Zzr starts with red, followed by F4 and three wolves. It can reach level 3 in the same way, and the distance is shorter.
Afterwards, you can see on the big screen that the excavator did not kill the wild beasts, but made a detour beside the three wolves and headed straight for the middle lane.
The middle lane soldiers are close to Li Hao's defense tower, and because of the Stone Piercing (Q) mechanism of Rock Sparrow, three dredging sites have been left on the ground.
At 2 minutes and 49 seconds, Xiye used the fourth Q skill. The location of this quarry allowed Taliyah to lean against the wall on the grass side of the river below the red team.
As this wave of lines pushes forward, Xiye can roam around and cooperate with Spider to gank the bottom lane.
Because of Ashe's pushing, the timing in the bottom lane was very good.
Zed's health also dropped by a quarter, and TheKing will be locked down by this wave of soldiers entering the tower soon.
Xiye smiled secretly in his heart, the initial rhythm was already in his hands.
but……
"The excavator is coming!"
…
