Volume 1: An Era Chapter 96: Less Routine, More Sincerity
Which one is better, Samsung White or Samsung Blue?
Everyone in WE unanimously felt that judging from the performance in this game, Samsung White was undoubtedly stronger.
But if we compare the historical records of both sides, it is also a fact that Samsung White has always been beaten by Samsung Blue in China.
"It's really strange. The blue team's suppression power is obviously not as good as the white team. If I meet Dandy, I might be beaten, but if I meet this guy with a cunning smile, I don't think I will lose."
Xiang Guo stared at sprit on the screen. As a jungler, he would naturally focus all his attention on the opponent's jungler.
If Dandy's jungle style is compared to a lion, then Sprit gives Xiangguo the feeling of a hyena at most.
"Is it because we lost to KTA in the summer season? Or is it because we really didn't find a particularly good on-the-spot state?"
"okay."
Li Nian interrupted the discussion: "Whether they are in good condition or not is not what we need to worry about now . Let's talk about the match against TPA. EDG has already lost the game. If we lose the game again, we can just swim back through the Taiwan Strait."
…
The second game was between the other two teams in Group A, SK and DP.
The European third seed and the wildcard zone were in a tit-for-tat confrontation, which could be described in one sentence as earth-shattering and heart-wrenching.
After all, they are the two weaker teams in this S game, and they made a lot of mistakes against .
Fortunately, there was not much to eat in the backstage lounge, otherwise Li Nian felt that she would have eaten too much.
After this game, WE faced their first battle in this S game.
…
"Well, it's time for our Chinese division competition again."
Wawa and Miller looked unhappy.
They had expected EDG to lose at the start, but they didn't expect it to end in such a regrettable way.
Any viewer with some understanding of the game can see that EDG clearly had a chance to win that game, but they just didn't seize the opportunity.
"How should I put it? As our No. 1 seed, I still firmly believe that WE can get off to a good start. Although TPA is a veteran team, they only have one veteran, Bebe, in their lineup."
As Wawa spoke, his tone gradually became hesitant.
He didn't dare to blow too hard.
After EDG's game ended, Wawa took a look at the domestic forums.
As expected, full of hostility.
If WE loses this game again, public opinion will probably explode instantly.
"Anyway, come on WE! Now let's take a look at what the players from both teams said before the game."
Miller spoke after receiving a signal from the director.
There is a trash talk session before each team plays in the group stage.
This can be regarded as a tradition that has been passed down in e-sports .
The trash talk session in the group stage is very short. Basically, only one person from each side will say a few sharp words to each other.
There is no doubt that it is Bebe on TPA's side.
On the big screen, Bebe faced the camera with a smile on her face: "I've said before that the best EZ in the world is in WE, so I really hope to see a smiling EZ again."
There were bursts of laughter at the scene.
Bebe did say this, and many viewers know it.
As the owner of the champion skin, Bebe has proved himself with his achievements, who is the number one EZ.
The camera switches and she smiles.
The smile on his face seemed to pull the corner of his mouth, and he said bluntly: "Can we be less routine and more sincere?"
The laughter at the scene got louder.
Everyone knows that EZ's strength throughout S4 was actually quite average.
In addition, there are many mainstream ADCs in this world championship version, so weak heroes like EZ are unlikely to appear.
There was something provocative in what Bebe said, but Wei Xiao saw through it.
"Smile is really... But speaking of it, the hero that impressed me the most was Ezreal. I wonder when Riot will strengthen EZ so that EZ can return to the competition."
Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Then we don't have the final say. All right, the players on both sides have finished their adjustments, and the BP officially begins! TPA on the blue side, WE on the purple side!"
The banning process was carried out very quickly.
TPA's triple ban targets Thresh, Corki, and Jayce respectively.
WE's triple ban was given to Time Man, Lulu, and Ryze.
TPA immediately chooses the big tree on the first floor.
"Wow, no hesitation at all? But Maokai is indeed a T1-level top lane hero in the World Championship version, there is no doubt about that. WE did a good job of targeting Ryze to prevent TPA from getting these two heroes that can complement each other."
Wawa commented.
Ever since WE used double mages and showed their prowess on the field, more and more teams began to use double mages.
Of course, the other teams may have practiced it a long time ago, and originally planned to save it for the World Championship as a big move, but it was exposed by WE in advance.
"It all depends on what heroes WE uses to deal with them. Currently, both Kha'Zix and Rumble are still out. WE... eh? Not choosing Kha'Zix? Instead, they directly choose Rumble and LeBlanc?!"
WE's choice is a bit surprising.
Since the opponent has already chosen Maokai, then Strawberry, who is also a top unit, doesn't really need to take Rambo first.
There is no need for the following Enchantress. Is Xuexue’s Enchantress so iconic that you dare to choose her directly?
The TPA coach has a beautiful smile.
He was very nervous before the game, thinking he was going to give away points.
But now he felt that his team seemed to have a chance to rise.
In his opinion, WE's first two BPs were too bad. Not only did they release Mantis, but they also released the hero that they had been worried that WE would pick.
The first three picks were all heroes that could get the king bomb level, how could they lose?
clang!
Tristana on the second floor, Mantis on the third floor!
TPA quickly locked onto these two heroes.
WE's battle seat.
Xiaoxiao smacked his lips and said, "It's Xiao Pao, Lao Li. Then we..."
"You've already said that we should be less scheming and more sincere. The provincial team has made such a request, so of course we have to be more sincere."
Li Nian said with a smile.
A few seconds later.
WE’s third and fourth floors locked onto Centaur and...Ezreal respectively.
Wow!
There was an uproar at the scene.
"This... EZ really picked it?"
The doll was stunned.
In the TPA competition seat, Bebe was also stunned.
He felt like he was dreaming.
It's just a joke. Bebe never thought that she could use this hero with a smile.
Finally, the smile really worked...
Not only that, he chose it in seconds!
Did my method of provoking the other person succeed?
Bebe began to doubt her life.
The TPA coach also has doubts about life.
"They're a bit bloated aren't they?"
The TPA coach was ecstatic after a brief moment of stunned silence!
"No need to think about it, Kassadin in the middle and Morgana as the support, we will definitely win this game!"
The TPA coach made the final decision.
The reason for choosing Morgana is that WE's AD selection is too weak. Even if paired with a strong support, they will definitely not be able to beat the strengthened Tristana in this version.
Besides, Morgana can also defend against WE’s Titan, which is a perfect choice!
What other supports can WE use at this time?
Minotaur? Nami? Or Janna?
Regardless of which support it is, the TPA coach feels that their bottom lane will at least not be at a disadvantage.
Because of the special nature of his hero, Kassadin will not be at much of a disadvantage against Leblanc, and can completely delay the game and develop to the late stage.
When it really gets to the late game, they have Maokai + Kassadin + Tristana, with Mantis and Morgana supporting them. It will be difficult for them to lose this team battle!
And it was in this situation.
WE's last counter player, the fifth floor, hesitated for a long time and then chose an extremely unpopular hero.
Sentinel's Woe... Galio!
