The BP phase proceeded very quickly.
The coaches of both teams did not hesitate much and chose the heroes they wanted after a brief thought.
We've reached the finals.
The past was the past, and the present is the present.
In this version, what tactics can we use?
For the coach, this is no longer a problem.
kkoma looked calm and chose the lineup that he was most satisfied with according to his own BP ideas.
In the first game, SKT was on the blue side and killed Xayah, Lulu and Janna.
If I can’t target Xu Yuan, then I can’t target you, meiko?
Lulu and Janna are both very popular supports in the current version.
Moreover, these two can produce very outstanding results when combined with heroes like Xu Yuan's Kog'Maw or Varus.
kkoma never gets stubborn.
I know you are good at playing, so just move it.
EDG pressed down Galiolo's skateboard shoes.
Except for the fixed third-hand skateboard shoes, the other two-hand moves are very meaningful.
Luo is a support worth grabbing on the blue side.
Even without Xia...
Even though both the Wind Girl and Lulu have moved away, Luo can still swim.
This R flash W combo is really too abnormal.
Even though Xu Yuan had dodged it before, it was because he had already prepared himself mentally to be fired.
Purely by reaction?
Xu Yuan didn't dare to say that he could react every time.
I really rely on my reaction to dodge R and W every time. The only possibility is that I have a script.
And it is very telling that he killed Galio in the first place.
EDG doesn't want Huni to stay in the same place.
In the semi-finals, Smeb and Cuvee took turns leading, and there were not many solo kills.
So it seems that Smeb is not doing well.
But remember, his opponent is Cuvee.
Whether it is Cuvee or Smeb, controlling Huni is as easy as letme wrote [From Yan Junze to RNG coach].
Just because he can't beat Cuvee doesn't mean he can't beat Huni.
In the single line, Smeb is absolutely confident.
So EDG eliminated Galio in order to provide Smeb with a single-player environment as much as possible.
Eliminate all possibilities for Faker to support the top lane.
huni, don't think that your brother Xianghe will come to help you!
"Little Cannon!"
kkoma acted decisively and took down Tristana in the first hand.
In the knockout round, the priority of the cannon has been increased.
It has fast pushing speed and strong ability to coordinate with the jungler to set the pace. It can also play a fast-push system. It now has a very high priority.
EDG counterattacked and grabbed Karma and Prince.
Nakano obediently took the role of a tool.
MingKai is very clear that his greatest contribution to the team right now is his awareness, so he simply doesn't play any heroes that require special skills.
It’s simple for the prince, just help to keep people when starting a team fight!
Mingkai will not make mistakes in basic operations such as EQ or EQ flash.
He has been playing jungle for so many years.
Maybe they are not as good as the newcomers in jungle planning.
The operation may be the same, not as good as the newcomers.
But as a jungler, his strongest point is stability.
It's hard to tell how good Kai is, but his plays are rarely particularly ugly.
Unless you are stunned.
So, what about Scout?
He was actually a little resistant to things like Karma and Grasshopper before.
Even if he could win the championship with this kind of thing, he hoped it would be the last choice.
He doesn't want others to say this when introducing the champion mid laner in the future:
"OK, who are the champion mid laner and skin of the S game?"
"S4, Pawn, male swordsman, so handsome Pawn."
"S5, Faker, Ryze! S6, Faker, Syndra! Guigui, Li Ge!"
"Each of them is a standout, or a mid-lane hero who can turn the tide!"
"Look at S7 again~haha!"
"I'm super, shield dog!"
How embarrassing is this?
At least that's what Scout really doesn't want to be said.
So why did he change his attitude?
This requires mentioning one person.
Rookie, the mid laner of IG team.
In this year's S7 Summer League, Scout didn't actually lose much to Rookie in the online arena.
But the Rookie in today's world championship is really different.
Because of the addition of bottom lane AD player Jackeylove, Rookie no longer needs to rush to gain an advantage in the early stages.
His many years of experience as a dean have made him less panicky and his fighting style has become more sophisticated and ferocious.
The addition of top and jungle players Theshy and Ning completely relieved Rookie of the final burden.
He doesn't need to find his own rhythm now, just play well in the laning phase.
So now Rookie is really strong in laning phase, even exaggeratedly so.
The more you play, the more confident you become!
When he was laning against Scout in the training match, as long as he got Leblanc, he could beat Scout so badly that he had to call Mingkai to the middle lane to clear the line after a while.
Although Scout was rarely killed by a single player, it can even be said that he only died once or twice.
However, this was enough to make Scout completely give up the idea of ​​"playing Faker in the S finals".
Just be a shield dog, as long as you can win.
Scout looked at Karma on the screen and comforted himself.
Anyway, if we really win, the skins don’t have to be chosen from the heroes in the finals.
"Ryze? Clockwork?"
When kkoma asked this question, it basically meant that SKT had run out of ideas.
After S8, there will be one more Tsar in this sentence.
Their current BP is so difficult.
As long as they target EDG's bottom lane, they will give it a T0 version jungler like Prince.
Give the opponent's Karma a T1 support that is useful in both mid and jungle.
Li Xianghe understood what he meant.
Ryze believes in himself, and Clockwork believes in his teammates.
Because Ryze has to find his own rhythm, while Clockwork needs his teammates to develop him to the point where he has three pieces of equipment.
"Ryze!"
He didn't hesitate at all.
SKT picked Ryze and the Big Worm in the second and third picks.
huni frowned.
"I'm always given a weak top laner. Am I weaker than him?"
That's what he was going to say.
But Lee Sang Hyuk and Kkoma looked a little too serious, so Huni thought it would be better for him not to say such humorous words.
"Take it. How dare Trundle play Cho'Gath without moving it?"
Smeb laughed.
The hero names on the Korean server are different from those on the Chinese server, so we just call them by their hero names.
The trolls are all there, but SKT actually takes the big worm?
This BP is not up to standard, kkoma.
However, Abu doesn't think so.
Because everyone can see how difficult it is for SKT to move.
It’s not that they don’t want to move, it’s that they can’t.
They didn't dare to release any of Lulu, the Wind Girl.
Although Bang has been practicing hard for the hero Xia, her condition is much better than before.
But should we use it to fight Xu Yuan?
That's still a little off.
So they can only move Xia on the blue side.
The first three moves are basically fixed.
Abu took down the troll in the third hand and BP entered the second round.
"It's a troll indeed... This kind of stable opponent is really hard to deal with when you have an advantage in the hero pool."
kkoma complained in his heart.
Abu's BP has no advantages, but it also has no disadvantages.
The main one is a version.
Since you can’t choose anyway, I’ll use my player hero pool to take you down.
Brainless? It is indeed brainless!
Is it useful? It is indeed useful!
At least kkoma really has no choice.
In the second round, EDG took down Taliyah and Gem.
There is not much to say about these two. Abu’s main version is a compliant version.
If you play well, then I won’t let you play.
SKT killed Morgana and Varus.
"Um?"
Abu frowned and realized that things were not simple.
"Are robots or female tanks coming? They are really learning from MSF."
Xu Yuan was also quite surprised.
Although they did guess EDG's initial idea correctly.
But SKT...
Why do you think Karma will be the mid laner in the end?
There is only one possibility for removing Morgana, the hard support is coming.
"Shake it?"
Abu chuckled.
He suddenly had an idea.
"Grasshopper?"
Xu Yuan also had an idea.
Abu chuckled and said, "Just grasshoppers!"
You didn’t expect that, SKT.
Aren’t you borrowing ideas from MSF?
Let’s also learn from SSG!
"That's fine, choose it."
Xu Yuan approved.
This grasshopper has the same function as Karma, and can tie Lee Sang-hyeok to the middle lane and make him unable to move.
Although Karma is a soft support, she is not afraid of playing against hard supports.
Even if a robot female tank comes out, it won’t be a big problem.
EDG took out Grasshopper in the fourth hand.
So kkoma became numb.
"Ayixi..."
Scout, is this the hero you should play?
Was I too gentle when you were in SKT?
At that time, you would definitely not play this kind of hero!
Li Lican, you are really baby like this!
kkoma muttered to himself and chose the last two moves.
Robot plus pig girl!
EDG's fifth-hand counter position was still given to Xu Yuan.
"Sivir!"
Without any hesitation, Xu Yuan spoke immediately.
SKT's removal of Morgana was indeed very targeted.
But they forgot a hero.
Sivir.
Although Xu Yuan didn't win the game in the World Championship, he has better options in most cases.
SKT's restrictions are indeed useful, and there really isn't much that AD can do.
But it just so happens, it just so happens!
Xu Yuan can play almost all of these playable heroes.
Facing the combination of Sivir and Karma...
All I can say is that the cannon robot is going to suffer a lot.
The BP of both sides is over!
Blue side SKT:
Big bug on single
Wild Boar Girl
Mid Lane Ryze
The bottom lane team is Tristana and Robot.
Red side EDG:
Top Troll
Jungle Prince
Mid Single Grasshopper
The bottom lane group is Sivir and Karma.
The game begins!
"They suddenly changed their formation. There's no need to gank the bottom lane anymore. It's hard to get anything out of it!"
“We must target Smeb this time!”
"Did you hear me? Target him! Otherwise, go find trouble with Scout and help Sang Hyuk open the situation!"
"Wanghu, please!"
kkoma was still instructing Peanut until he was taken out of the room by the staff.
Little Peanut nodded solemnly.
Leave it to me, bro!
"EDG's swing position was very successful in this game. The hero Grasshopper is definitely effective. SKT is equivalent to being 1,300 experience behind at the beginning!"
Colonel Guan spoke eloquently at the commentary booth.
Miller couldn't help but laugh, "I know, you want to make a mercury sash, right?"
He turned to look at the commentator sitting in the middle and asked with a smile,
"So which team do our guests think has the advantage?"
Li Jiahang, who was wearing a dark blue suit, spoke very carefully.
"I don't have a very good understanding of the game, but I think EDG must have been skilled in selecting such a lineup. We can look forward to their performance in this game."
He is the special guest commentator of LPL today, the actor who once played Zhang Wei in Love Apartment and Golden Armor Warrior.
At the same time, he is also a real veteran player, not just trying to get attention.
"Okay, let's wait and see, and follow the director's camera into the Summoner's Rift!"
Miller nodded and continued.
At this moment on the screen, both sides had already started a level one fight.
SKT really wants to create rhythm, especially when they have a level 1 team-killing weapon like Robot.
They invaded very proactively, not at all as steady as the LCK.
“You’re just pretending!”
Xu Yuan made a decisive judgment and spoke.
"If a fight really breaks out, we'll retreat. Let's deal with them first!"
"Come on, do it!"
You can actually defend the jungle, but it is not necessary.
This wave is to test SKT's determination to invade.
If a level 1 team fight really breaks out, SKT will definitely win.
Ryze, Bug, Robot, Tristana...
All of them are good at the first-level group.
So Xu Yuan directly announced the retreat in advance to give his teammates a clear understanding.
SKT was not affected and continued to invade!
"Are you guys having fun?"
Xu Yuan was actually a little surprised. It was quite rare to see SKT playing so aggressively.
But when he thought about SKT's training team, he felt it was normal.
SKT should have realized that dragging the game with EDG into the late game was a dead end.
So it is normal for them to find the early rhythm now.
This is SKT. No matter how difficult the game is, they will try every possible way to find a way out.
"Give it to me, Brother Kai, swipe from the top to the bottom. We'll be waiting for you."
Xu Yuan gave the command and EDG gave up the blue BUFF jungle area.
The two sides started to confront each other!
Bang, who was controlling Tristana, changed his usual steady style and started to play very aggressively in the laning phase.
However, being aggressive does not necessarily lead to an advantage.
Although Tristana can clear the lane quickly after learning E at level 1, Sivir's Q also has high damage in the early stages.
With the help of Karma's RQ, Xu Yuan was the first to reach level 2.
After reaching level two, Xu Yuan pressed forward directly.
He chose the E skill, so he had nothing to worry about.
Bang was very dissatisfied.
But without level 2, he could do nothing and could only exchange two basic attacks with Xu Yuan.
Wolf was in no hurry to get out the hook.
Knowing that Sivir was already level 2, he wanted to catch Meiko's movement and hook Meiko.
The reason is very simple. In the early stage, the robot's Q not only has high mana consumption, but also has a long CD time.
Once blocked by Sivir's E, the following robots will be no better than super soldiers.
The laning phase will also become more difficult.
However, Meiko knew Wolf's plan very well.
Meiko, who no longer needed to take over the command, felt relaxed and devoted himself to the laning battle.
His dual-threaded system is a bit rubbish, but the single-threaded system can still handle it.
Meiko’s soft support is really something.
The positioning was excellent and didn't give Wolf many chances.
When the cannon robot was about to reach level 2, Xu Yuan chose to retreat.
A few cuts are enough, that's enough.
It is impossible to crush the opponent in one wave while on the line.
Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. The jungler is still in his own jungle!
However, it would be fine if he didn't refund, but once he did, I got a little anxious.
No, won't you give me a chance?
Can't you just keep pressing like Uzi!
If you don't suppress me, how can I ask the jungler to attack you?
"Let's go. There's no chance. We still have to listen to kkoma and grab the chance to go mid and top."
Bang spoke somewhat helplessly.
At this point, the game time was more than four minutes. Xiaohuasheng had already cleared Mingkai's blue buff jungle area and was ready to look for an opportunity.
However, at this sensitive time, Sivir stayed behind the line of soldiers and just finished off the enemies.
He doesn't even use Q!
The military line is controlled near the center line, which is a very difficult position to capture.
Sivir has Purification and Flash, as well as an E.
Who caught this to death?
Peanut nodded and left.
He was not surprised, after all, that was how the Savior was.
When he wants to be steady, it's hard to find his chances.
Unless you force him to death.
What is a dirty kill? Four people are crossing the tower now.
You can kill, but you don't have to.
Peanut walked towards the middle lane, trying to find an opportunity with Scout.
The hero Grasshopper will definitely push the lane.
Especially when Ryze's damage is not high in the early stage, he is completely unable to defeat the grasshopper.
But Li Xianghe never expected that Scout would play like this!
"Every time I use EWQ, I disappear right after clearing the line. Am I laning against the grasshopper or the little bug?"
Li Xianghe was speechless.
But this style of play is really disgusting, and Ryze just can't push it.
There is a kind of beauty in S4 Bomber where you can only see the bomb and not the person.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this situation, a sudden announcement interrupted all his thoughts.
"EDG.Smeb killed SKT.Huni!"
"First blood!"
Lee Sang Hyuk: ???
"It's only been less than five minutes, right?"
He spoke with some doubt.
Switching the screen to the top lane, I saw the big worm lying on the ground like a dead dog, while Mingkai's Jarvan and Smeb's Troll were walking towards Xiaohuasheng's top jungle area.
“…”
For some reason, Lee Sang Hyuk breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, not bad!
At least it wasn't a single kill.
If I was killed in the top lane in less than five minutes in the finals, even Lee Sang-hyeok would feel that God was killing me.
"I've been careful enough... and I've also got a view of the river."
"No need to say this anymore. Who on the other side used flash?"
Li Xianghe interrupted him without any hesitation.
“…Nothing.”
Lee Sang Hyuk: Huh?
"Ani, they didn't use Flash, but they used Flash on you, and then they killed you?"
He couldn't believe it.
"The Troll Pillar was used very well. The Prince came around from the line of soldiers. Because I was constantly pushed and couldn't exchange blood, I didn't set up vision in the bush on the top lane..."
huni tried his best to explain.
However, Li Xianghe just felt tired.
What should I do?
I am being pushed in the middle lane and cannot move at all.
The consequences of forced roaming are very serious.
It can be said that if Ryze chooses to roam, even if he really kills two people, he may still lose money if he returns to the middle lane.
Experience in the middle is very important.
Even if the economy can be made up by kills, the experience can't be made up much before the experience from kills in the early stage!
However, Li Xianghe was still ready to swim away.
He can collapse on his own, and even if he collapses he still has a chance to win.
But if we continue to allow Smeb to bully Huni like this, there's no chance of winning this game!
Ryze began to push the line desperately.
"oh?"
Scout raised an eyebrow.
He saw what Li Xianghe was thinking.
"The mid laner wants to make a move. Should I follow them?"
"No, you can eat in the middle."
Xu Yuan shook his head directly.
"Ryze's damage is too low in the early game, and his roaming is unlikely to have any effect."
"It's just a last-ditch effort."
If forced roaming was really effective, SKT wouldn't have been beaten 3-0 by SSG.
The game lasted six and a half minutes. Ryze, who had reached level six, couldn't wait to drive and cooperate with Sejuani to prepare to gank!
The bottom lane is too difficult to capture, and the success rate is terribly low.
So his target is Smeb!
However, his movements were completely within EDG's sight.
The stable line rights in three lanes bring better vision in three lanes.
As soon as Faker made a move, EDG had already taken precautions.
Smeb retreated directly without giving anyone any chance at all.
Li Xianghe's first attack was about to fail, so he gritted his teeth.
"Over!"
At this time, Li Xianghe finally realized how disgusting the operation was.
Relying on the advantage of the hero pool to create an advantage in BP, and then using the advantage of BP to gain line rights, followed by an absolute lead in vision!
This version of the answer developed by SSG does not give the opponent any chance at all if the opponent has sufficient strength !
“Faker is in a hurry!”
"If we don't catch up with the rhythm, this game might be too late!"
The Korean commentator also had an understanding of the game. After seeing Ryze forcing his way around the first tower in the top lane, he couldn't help but sigh.
How much has this been lost?
The grasshopper in the middle lane has been pushing the line and is indifferent to being caught in the top lane.
Li Xianghe didn't know how much he lost.
But he knew that he had to create some rhythm and not let his opponent take over like this!
This situation is just sigh-worthy.
SKT used to use operations to make SHR lose .
However, today EDG used the system learned from SSG to confuse SKT.
Is this what it means to learn from the foreigners in order to defeat them?
"Ryze came to the top lane and blocked the troll's retreat! He's going to kill it!"
"The soldiers are being led into the tower! Sejuani will attack immediately! Take the tower first!"
"The troll's ultimate absorbed all of Sejuani's resistances. SKT's output is not enough!"
"The factory director is here!!"
Accompanied by Miller's suddenly high-pitched voice, MingKai, who came to the top lane again, became the one who shattered all of SKT's fantasies.
No one expected it.
MingKai, who almost never looks at the top lane, actually chose to help Smeb train the top lane in the finals!
But for Mingkai...
“I want to win!”
The moment the Prince used EQ, he knocked Ryze away!
Not only that, he also used Flash before EQ was about to end!
Bright and stunning "7" drift!
EQ flash!
The Pig Girl who was defending the tower was knocked away!
Peanut was killed by the tower!
Next up, it’s Faker’s Ryze!
Can’t escape, absolutely can’t escape!
Zero for two!
"It came too fast! After the factory manager killed a toad, he went straight back to the city and continued to attack!"
"SKT never expected that he would be willing to give up the blue buff!"
"Just to protect Smeb!"
Colonel Guan's voice was filled with joy and shock.
"My God, the factory manager's judgment is so brilliant!"
The LPL audience was also extremely shocked.
They were not actually surprised by the excellent judgment. What surprised them was Mingkai's excellent EQ flash.
Is this a fucking factory?
Performing the ugliest operation in the most correct place, this is what a factory should do, right?
Bro, it doesn’t taste right!
"Bad! Why the hell are you still fucking me? How can I scold you?"
"Burn it all! Kill the factory!"
"It's the last moment, and that man finally stands up!"
"What a shame! Even the factory has started to swim. I can't imagine how SKT can win."
Mingkai exhaled and gave a wicked smile.
"I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
"Handsome! Brother Kai!"
Xu Yuan immediately turned into a little fanboy.
This wave of awareness was really sharp, knowing that Faker would be angry and embarrassed.
After this wave, SKT's early stage has collapsed!
"Watch me perform!"
Mingkai became more confident and spoke seriously.
After so many years, isn't it time to give it a C?
That's what he thought.
If when he retires one day he still thinks about being toyed with by Korean junglers, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
This is his last dance!
That's why his EQ flash is so decisive.
Oh shit!
I've lost so many times and made countless ugly moves!
Mingkai just wants to seize this last chance.
Xu Yuan said he would lead him to win the championship, but Mingkai didn't want to just lie down and do nothing!
At the same time, with Wolf in the bottom lane no longer able to hook, Xu Yuan easily blocked his hook with E, and then used his Q skill to directly hit the jumping Tristana.
The moment AWA is used, use the movement speed bonus of Karma's shield to pull the robot back, and don't give him the chance to hit with his E skill.
Tristana's burst is indeed very high, but after using the skill, there is no burst at all!
And Karma’s damage in the early stage is not low!
The Tristana who jumped up on her own initiative was hit and flashed!
The bottom lane also collapsed.
This is actually not something Bang would do.
But now the situation is visibly on the verge of collapse, and even if it is a bang, we can only start looking for opportunities.
However, he couldn't get any good results when facing Xu Yuan at this time, and the consequence of taking the initiative to attack was that he would be hit by his skills.
Seven minutes and twenty seconds into the game, EDG took the first little dragon.
The game time is eight minutes and seventeen seconds.
Mingkai's Prince EQ was aimed directly at Faker's Ryze. After framing him with his ultimate, Scout followed up with EWQR. Faker, who had no flash, was directly pinned to death by the leech.
"SKT, down again!!!!"
Amid the wailing of the Korean commentator, the economic gap had been pulled to a terrifying three thousand!
This is a 3,000 economic gap in eight minutes.
SKT's early game was basically defeated.
And EDG's rhythm has not ended yet.
The vision ability honed with SSG!
The operational capabilities developed with WE!
The ability to fight IG online crazily!
Team battle coordination trained with RNG!
At this moment, EDG is really not fighting alone.
A ghost, a ghost named SSG floated above the SKT team.
At this moment, they are different bodies but have the same heart!
Just like Xu Yuan said before the game.
“I can’t find any reason to lose.”
If this EDG now plays against their previous self in the World Championship, they will be able to win with a score of 3-0 without a doubt!
In this month, they have evolved so much.
So much so that after defeating SSG, even facing their former arch-enemy SKT, it seemed as if...
There is no suspense anymore.
They are the strongest team in this version!
About ten minutes into the game, SKT's top lane defense tower fell first.
Twelve minutes into the game, SKT's bottom lane tower was also pushed down by Xu Yuan.
After fifteen minutes of stable capture of the vanguard, SKT's jungle was almost completely illuminated by EDG's vision!
This is SSG's vision suppression.
Then, Peanut, who was totally unable to play, was caught.
After killing Peanut, all EDG players cooperated with Karma and moved directly to the middle!
Taking advantage of the Prince's decisiveness in starting a team fight, they forced a five-on-four team fight, which directly confused SKT.
This is IG’s favorite way to start a team fight.
The prince enters the scene, and the grasshopper holds the C position!
Then Xu Yuan's Sivir dealt crazy damage, Karma provided crazy movement speed and shield, and the top troll roamed the team battle.
Xu Yuan got a triple kill!
This is RNG's favorite team battle combination.
Zero for four, total annihilation!
Turn back and take down the newly refreshed dragon, and continue to push back to the high ground!
The game is basically over.
Under the dull eyes of SKT fans, EDG completed a speed pass on SKT at 25 minutes and 57 seconds!
This time is already very scary.
Because at this time the average end time of the game is basically over 30 minutes.
However, EDG defeated SKT in 25 minutes and 57 seconds.
From the beginning to the end, SKT was not given any chance to fight back, which gave people a feeling:
“Is it that simple?”
Sorry, it’s so easy for EDG to beat SKT now!
Even SSG couldn't resist the fate of being defeated 3-0, so what's the point of SKT's last-minute efforts?
Xu Yuan stood up from his seat with a calm expression and suddenly thought of a strange picture.
SKT lay on the ground and looked up at the sky: "We are sorry that we didn't let EDG enjoy themselves..."
"puff."
He couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I thought of something happy."
"Oh? Tell me about it..."
Mingkai and Xu Yuan walked away from each other and left the stage.
On the other side, SKT has been stunned!
Li Xianghe bit his lips tightly and looked at the failed interface for a long time without being able to get up.
There is no possibility of any breakthrough at all!
Whether operating team battles or laning, they were completely defeated. Even Li Xianghe, who never gave up, began to feel powerless.
"How... to win?"
