Today's first opponent is C9.
In fact, from the perspective of lineup alone, C9 is not a particularly bad lineup.
Top lane impact, the famous teacher Oak.
Someone who used to play top lane in SKT became a top mercenary after going to North America, and his main goal was to help you get to the world championship if you pay him.
He has maintained a good condition and has a particularly long career among all top laners.
How long will it grow?
He is in S12.
Actually, Oak was not a top laner at the beginning. In the early stage of his career, he was actually a support player.
After transitioning from a support to a top laner, his experience as a support player has greatly improved his judgment of online situations and his understanding of the game.
He has a very keen sense of smell in team battles, and should be able to control both tank heroes and assassins relatively well, and he has never had any problems with his hero pool.
This is also the reason why he can serve as the big daddy of C9.
Any player who becomes the boss of a team generally has a much deeper hero pool than ordinary players.
C9's mid laner Jensen is also a very strong player.
In Europe and the United States, it can be said that it is at the level of maintaining the second place and striving for the first place, and it was once as popular as Pjilsen.
jesnsen is known as Emperor Jian, but his mentality is much better than that of another person with the surname Jian.
However, it is a pity that although C9 has top-notch top and mid players in Europe and the United States, their jungler is a bit weak.
Jungler Contractz.
This person...
It can only be said that he is on the same level as Tazan.
In civil wars, they can barely maintain their standards by relying on fancy things, but in foreign wars, they will immediately become powerless when they encounter real tough guys.
But it doesn’t matter, he can just turn into a wireworm when he is in the country.
Although its main body is weak, it can parasitize the body of a strong person.
I just don’t know…
Once both Mr. Oak and Emperor Jian are unreliable, who can he rely on?
C9's bottom lane group is very interesting.
To be precise, AD is very interesting.
Their AD is called Sneaky, and he has a unique hobby:
cosplay!
Moreover, they are basically all cosplay female characters.
The most classic one should be Sivir.
Xu Yuan speaks the truth and I have really seen it.
It’s really good.
So he is quite interested in playing against this team.
We had fought once in the first half, and he killed me pretty well.
He is interested, but C9 is not!
"Oh, it's EDG again... Jesus, it's so annoying to play against them."
C9's support couldn't help but complain.
At this time, they have already sat in the contestants' seats, waiting for the game to begin.
Because after the previous round of coin tossing is over, there is no need to toss the coin again in the second round, just switch sides directly.
So C9 is on the red side in this game.
They won the coin toss in the last game, so they must be on the blue side in this version. Now that the sides have been changed, it is natural that they will be on the red side.
"Hey sneaky, can you charm the opposing ADCSavior so he can go easy on us?"
Jian Huang was still quite active, joking with his ADC with a smile.
Sneaky rolled his eyes at him, "What are you talking about? Can't I take revenge on him this time?"
"Come on! Do you think it's possible?"
Emperor Jian laughed.
The main theme is optimism.
In fact, European and American teams are often quite optimistic.
Sometimes you are basically dead after the draw, but you have to wait until the group stage is over before you can bury yourself.
Not optimistic... Do you want me to cry?
If you can’t beat him, then just start fighting!
Xu Yuan was loosening his wrist and quietly looking at the preparation interface in front of him.
The game has not started yet, and players on both sides are still waiting for some players to confirm the peripherals.
Mingkai and Meiko in the team were chatting in a relaxed tone.
They really don't have any pressure.
If you're sweating profusely playing against C9, how can you still expect to win the championship?
C9.Sneaky: hi, Savior
A greeting from the AD on the opposite side suddenly appeared in the chat box in the lower left corner.
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still replied.
This doesn't involve a fine.
EDG.Savior: hi
“He replied to me!”
Sneaky was very happy.
Anyway, we can't win the game because the gap is a bit too big.
So why be serious?
C9.Sneaky: You can beat LCK, right?
You can beat LCK, right?
Xu Yuan smiled faintly.
EDG.Savior：yep
C9.Sneaky: I want to see Faker cry, can you do it?
Sneaky is also a bit of a joker, he says he wants to see Lee Sang Hyuk cry and asks Heo Yeon if he can do it.
Then Xu Yuan would definitely say...
Can can can can can can!
You are so capable, bro. You are so capable.
Even without EDG, SSG would have beaten him to tears.
The two chatted casually before the game, and there was not much tension between them.
Soon, all the contestants were checked.
After informing the referee, enter the room.
The game begins!
During the BP phase, C9 targeted Meiko the most.
Sneaky is also the core of C9. If he plays comfortably in the bottom lane, C9 will be able to hold on in the early stage.
Savior was really fierce in the first three games, and his performance was almost MVP level in every game.
In their eyes, targeting EDG's bottom lane is a must.
However, because Xu Yuan's hero pool is too deep, it is basically a fantasy to target him in BP.
Even SKT can't handle his hero pool, so how can C9?
So C9 set their sights on Meiko.
Your AD in the bottom lane is really strong.
But can your support be as strong as AD?
Meiko has finally earned the nickname "Shield Dog" in this world championship.
The soft assist is really good.
Although everyone is actually a shield dog in this version, because EDG's bottom lane is the strongest now, the main focus is naturally on them.
Compared with Xu Yuan...
In the eyes of many people, Meiko is dispensable.
That's what it's like to have a big star on the team.
Xu Yuan is very popular now, and he is still performing very well.
Naturally, many support players will have a feeling that "this AD is so strong, so can I play support for him?"
In a sense, it actually works.
For example, in the world championship, there are many garbage European and American bottom lane teams. Xu Yuan can probably beat them easily with an ordinary master support, not to mention the professional support players from other teams.
However, do you want to beat SKT with this kind of support?
That's funny.
The lower limit of the bottom lane is indeed determined by AD, and the lower limit of a good AD will definitely not be low.
But the upper limit of the bottom lane... is really determined by the support.
A top AD paired with a third-rate support may not necessarily be able to beat a second-rate bottom lane group.
AD is indeed important, but support is equally important.
All five positions in League of Legends are indispensable, and none is more noble than the other.
In C9's vision, Meiko is Xu Yuan's pendant.
Targeting him can also be considered as weakening Xu Yuan in disguise.
That's why they always target Meiko in BP.
The BP of both parties are as follows:
Blue side EDG:
Top lane Shen
Jungle Prince
Mid Lucian
The bottom lane group is Rat Gallo.
Red Square C9:
Big bug on single
Jungle male gun
Syndra in the middle
The bottom lane team is Varus and Lulu.
C9 will definitely not release Xayah.
SKT has already helped them experiment.
EDG’s Xayah is really not an urban legend. Whoever dares to release it will be doomed.
He deliberately released Shen just to give himself Varus and Lulu in the bottom lane.
This is also a very strong bottom lane group.
Now that we have entered the second round, our understanding of the version has been updated.
The two top laners, Shen and Cho'Among them, began to emerge as strong teams, entering the arena as solid front-line characters.
Although C9 doesn’t have any tactics, SSG and LZ do!
No BP?
Just copy their lineup and that's it.
This isn't their stealing tactic, this is their auto-pickup!
"Rasen? C9's BP of Xayah, Kakashi, and Skateboard Shoes is fine, but is it really a good idea to release Rasen?"
kkoma was also watching this game.
C9 clearly got it wrong.
They probably thought that EDG was still planning to send Xu Yuan's AD back and not send him out in the first round.
In fact, EDG is not unaware of Xu Yuan’s importance.
They can go last, but only the red side will choose to go last.
The blue side queen is just a fart. Isn’t C9 taking it for granted?
But think about it, this is C9...
kkoma smiled with relief again.
That's okay.
Controlling the mouse to go online, Xu Yuan did not consider pushing the line.
The fighting ability of the Mouse and Gallo combination is not bad, but it is definitely not at the first level.
Even if you don't respect Varus, you have to respect Lulu.
The two sides began to face each other calmly.
Sneaky still wants to seduce Xu Yuan.
He is also an old vixen.
But Xu Yuan didn't give them any chance at all, and even didn't let Meiko go up to lift them.
The laning phase is still long, why do we have to decide the outcome at level one?
If he were Draven or Skateboard, he might still be interested in this.
But he was a mouse, and that was about as good as it got.
Varus and Lulu reached level two first, but Xu Yuan did not retreat but advanced instead.
Because Mingkai is here!
"It appears! The factory director's best skill! Level 2 catch!"
The one responsible for the commentary today was Miller Doll, and Miller felt a little overwhelmed when he saw this scene.
What a classic level 2 catch!
Mingkai had never played like this in the previous few games.
But that doesn't mean he won't play like this anymore.
For a hero like Prince, you must find someone to play with him at level 2.
The red side looks for the upper middle, and the blue side looks for the lower middle.
Although it is formulaic, it is indeed useful.
In one wave, they surrounded C9's bottom lane.
In the end, because of the poor control of the soldier line, although none of the C9 bottom lane team died, they still lost both summons.
In this case, the market has actually been caught in a crash.
Because after Rat and Luo reached level 2, it was C9 who should be scared.
Lao Shu and Luo Jian are also a very typical small generation bottom lane combination.
The pace is fast at the beginning, and it is difficult to stop once the advantage is gained.
Mingkai allowed Xu Yuan to directly skip the weakness of the bottom lane before the Rat returned home for the first time, and forced a fast-forward to their advantageous period.
C9's bottom lane has used up all its skills, so naturally it is impossible for them to fight with EDG.
Are you still fighting with EDG's bottom lane?
Does he have this ability?
Try it and you will die!
The rat, which was originally at a disadvantage, took control of the line of troops.
However, the mouse did not control the line, but started to push the line instead.
"Hahaha!"
The C9 support just laughed at that time.
Sneaky was a little surprised, "Why are you laughing?"
The assistant smiled.
"Haha, I laugh at EDG's AD being reckless and their support being lacking in intelligence!"
"If the Rat controlled the lane this time, our bottom lane team wouldn't dare to move forward without two summons. Now at least we've been pushed back by one wave of lanes."
"They actually chose to push the lane, haha, what's the point of that?"
I watched as EDG's bottom lane group retreated after pushing the line and disappeared from my sight.
Sneaky was safely eating the soldiers under the tower and couldn't help but nodded.
Indeed!
He really didn't expect that EDG's bottom lane would push the line this time.
Just as he cleared the line and prepared to go home...
EDG.Savior killed C9.Jensen!
Sneaky: Huh?
"What's going on?!"
He was suddenly startled.
"What happened? What happened? What happened?"
Emperor Jian was a little annoyed by this wave of arrests and asked back.
"You're asking me? I also want to ask you guys, BRO, why didn't you give any signal when the bottom lane group left."
It turns out that after clearing the minion line, EDG's bottom lane did not choose to go home!
Instead, he followed Ming Kai directly and captured Emperor Jian!
MingKai went around and after Scout's Lucian tricked out Jianhuang and Syndra's E skills, he used EQ to force Jianhuang to flash.
As we all know, being caught is very frustrating.
Once the opponent catches you and you are not caught.
Well… the first reaction of many people is:
Highlight the mark!
The same goes for Emperor Jian.
Although S7 has no expression yet, he can turn around and hit Mingkai.
Anyway, his EQ has been surrendered.
You like catching, right?
Lose your form, boy!
Generally speaking, this is completely safe.
Unfortunately, this situation is not ordinary.
Just as Sindra turned around and took two steps, Xu Yuan's rat suddenly appeared behind him.
Following closely behind was Rakan who moved out from the bushes, made a grand appearance using W and lifted up Syndra!
EDG's bottom lane group is here!
Scout followed up with output, and Xu Yuan finally pulled out the full level of E, directly exploding Jian Huang.
Sneaky asked Jian Huang what happened, and Jian Huang wanted to ask him why the bottom lane could come at this time!
"What a smart commander, EDG!"
kkoma praised subconsciously, then shook his head suddenly.
"wrong!"
"This should be a tactic that should have been thought of in advance, right? They have been playing the rat system for a long time!"
Rather than saying it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, kkoma believed that it was a long-planned move.
There aren't many level 2 ganks in a game, and level 3 Rat pushing the line and bringing an auxiliary to the middle... is even rarer in a game.
EDG has definitely received special training.
In fact, kkoma was not wrong in his guess. EDG did specifically practice the rat system.
It is to prevent the Xayah and Rakan combination from being dismantled.
Xu Yuan told Abu that at this stage it was difficult to release Xia and Luo at the same time.
We are not fools.
If a combination is strong, everyone will have to move unless your players don’t play.
Back on the line again, after getting the first blood, the rat had no interest in fighting Sneaky steadily.
Xu Yuan pressed Q before reaching the first tower. He was already in camouflage when he appeared in front of the minions.
Sneaky is indeed alert.
He knew the approximate speed at which the rat would come online, so he stayed in front of the tower and didn't want to give the rat a chance to steal people.
But some things cannot be avoided just because he doesn't want them to happen.
Xu Yuan did not attack Sneaky, but went straight to the support.
The moment you hit Lulu for the first time, use W behind Lulu and start attacking Lulu directly!
The deceleration effect has been applied!
Lulu used her Q skill to try to slow down the rat, and did not dare to use her W.
Because Luo has already used the first part of E on the rat, W can lift Lulu.
If he gives W to transform into a sheep to the AD now, then Luo will definitely take action.
Once he was lifted up, the mouse used purification to eliminate his transformation into a sheep, and he was basically dead.
However, C9's support underestimated Xu Yuan's positioning!
The moment he saw him raise his hand to use the Q skill, Xu Yuan turned his head 90 degrees to avoid the slowing Q.
Although he was hit by Varus, Xu Yuan did not panic and continued to attack Lulu.
Lulu soon couldn't hold on any longer, the poison was fully stacked on her body, and she only had about half of her health left.
If the rat uses E and then two normal attacks, he will probably die.
So he could only give his W to Luo in advance, and then cast E on himself in an attempt to retreat.
Xu Yuan flashed to avoid Varus's Q, not giving Sneaky the chance to cast three layers of marks.
There was no rush to follow up with the basic attack, just walked forward and followed Lulu.
Meiko's Rakan W lifted up Varus, preventing him from continuing to output.
Xu Yuan calmly waited for Lulu's E skill shield to disappear before he made the last two attacks.
Pull out the E skill.
The full layer of poison took Lulu away!
The moment you kill the enemy, press the Q skill to enter the grass.
Turn invisible when health is low and escape.
The two players in the bottom lane cooperated very well.
But this is normal.
We have been playing together for almost a year, it would be too much if we don't have this little bit of tacit understanding.
"Line kill! A very decisive wave!"
Even the LCK broadcasting station was positive about Xu Yuan's attack.
The opportunity was seized very well, knowing that Lulu was responsible for providing vision and could not retreat too far.
He took the initiative to attack Lulu, ignoring Varus, whose output in the early stage was not particularly exaggerated, and flashed to avoid Varus's second Q.
All the output was directed heavily at Lulu.
Shoot hard at Lulu!
Lulu obviously couldn't withstand such a strong impact. She collapsed to the ground with her eyes rolled back and lost consciousness.
It has been infused into puff power!
After killing, immediately pull it into the grass, make Varus lose as much output as possible, and finally complete the retreat.
From beginning to end, there is only one word: clear thinking!
With Luo's protection, Xu Yuan could still have taken over a wave of attacks.
But Xu Yuan never makes this mistake.
If the situation is particularly bad, he will really eat.
Because if you don’t eat, you lose.
He still .
But now it is obvious that EDG has a huge advantage, and taking this line at this time is a complete opportunity.
So Xu Yuan chose to go home without any hesitation.
After six minutes and thirty-seven seconds of game time, Mingkai took down the first dragon.
When the bottom lane has an advantage, the little dragon is very easy to control.
If there is no control, it can only mean that the jungler didn't want it at all, or he was confused.
After taking the first dragon, Mingkai began to put pressure on C9 around the bottom lane.
Sneaky hurriedly called the jungler, but he could only watch from the side and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
Now Jian Huang's flash in the middle lane has not yet been ready, and Scout has the lane rights.
If a real fight breaks out, EDG is almost certain to win.
Therefore, C9's jungler can only protect Sneaky and can't do anything else.
The jungler is right beside you.
When the AD has an advantage in the midfield, he must be brave enough to attack the tower.
Xu Yuan didn't care about the opponent at all and started pushing the tower directly.
It’s urgent for C9!
But there is no other way.
"Their play is just a bunch of shit. I don't want to see them just defending like this. Can they try to attack a little bit?!"
"Yes, I have never seen such an ugly game! C9 is like a dog tied by EDG. It will only bark when EDG asks it to bark. If the owner gets angry, the dog will start to tremble!"
The aggressiveness of European and American guys is really at its maximum.
It’s hard not to curse C9 when seeing how cowardly they are.
However, C9 also has something to say.
How the hell do I fight?
Although the top laner Impact was not destroyed so quickly by Smeb, he was still suppressed badly.
Jian Huang’s flash in the middle lane was not ready, so he could be in danger at any time, and his ability to last hit was also suppressed.
Not to mention the jungler, if he has no lane control in all three lanes, he is a complete waste.
The only hope for the bottom lane was killed again!
This...where is the turning point?
Xu Yuan’s move to the middle lane at level 3 was so crucial that it directly led to a chain reaction.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Emperor Jian to be so passive when facing Scout.
At this time, C9 had been completely stunned by EDG.
Eleven minutes into the game, EDG's bottom lane team pushed down C9's bottom lane tower.
Sneaky finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This environment is really terrible!
Mingkai doesn't even need to go to the mid and top lane, so the one who is unlucky is naturally him in the bottom lane.
Sneaky couldn't beat Xu Yuan in the first place, and originally wanted to attack Xu Yuan and the others before returning home for the first time, but he didn't expect Mingkai to be faster than his jungler!
"Hmph, save it?"
MingKai looked at the opposing jungler who was at a loss and could only hang up in the bottom lane, and couldn't help but smile evilly.
On protecting the big daddy in the bottom lane...
He Mingkai is the ancestor!
"Meiko, follow me closely."
Xu Yuan's pleasant voice sounded, his tone confident and calm.
"We are going to start killing people."
"good!"
Meiko smiled brightly.
When playing bottom lane with Xu Yuan, he seemed to have no emotional fluctuations no matter what the situation was.
I can only say that I feel reassured.
EDG's bottom lane group started to set the pace!
The first target is the jungler in the C9 jungle!
If you want to arrest someone, you must pick on the weak ones.
It just so happens that this C9 jungler is the biggest wimp in C9.
The jungle has now become Mingkai’s back garden.
The whole person was knocked unconscious.
Xu Yuan sneaked into his jungle to find him, and according to the location provided by Mingkai, he met him soon.
Just activate R and shoot first!
Luo REW's charm and knock-up made the C9 jungler almost dead.
Get another head!
After killing the jungler, he ignored the C9 bottom lane who came to support, and went to the middle lane with Scout to put pressure on Jian Huang.
After destroying the middle lane tower, go directly to the top lane.
Cooperating with MingKai and Smeb, they completed the tower dive on Impact.
Teacher Oki also fainted.
My buddy was on the right track, why did a rat start looking for someone to kill? ?
The problem is that he really has no other choice. Even if the prince flashes out after being trapped by him, he still can't deal with the rat that is protected by Luo.
Sixteen minutes into the game, the mouse created a hurricane!
The two-piece set of Sheep Knife Hurricane is already in hand!
The development is the best in the whole field!
Next, it will naturally be garbage time.
A team like C9 has absolutely no resilience, which is a common problem among European and American teams today.
High EQ: I can’t win, play next one.
Low EQ: Send it, start selling!
After being placed in the same group with EDG and SKT, C9 no longer had much hope.
Now when we fight, damn, we are completely defeated.
Then what is there to resist?
Brothers, it’s time for vacation after the game!
Twenty-six minutes into the game, EDG pushed down C9's main base and the score came to 4-0!
The mouse’s record is 9/0/7, roaming all over the field!
Basically, advancement has been confirmed.
But Xu Yuan did not take it lightly.
Because there are still two games left on this day, all three games in the second half of the group stage are on the same day.
Only if EDG defeats SKT in the last game of today can they qualify as the number one seed.
Otherwise we will have to play an extra game.
“Keep working on it.”
"Um."
