“Here it comes, here it comes!”
"Why are you still advertising? I said I won't buy it. Who among us can afford this Mercedes-Benz?"
"Mine cart!"
"If Uzi doesn't get beaten to shit today, he'll have done his job well. I'm ready to enjoy it!"
“RNG will win!”
The barrage is already in full swing.
Although it is a civil war, the two competing teams are two of the most popular teams in the country right now, so the popularity will naturally not be low.
The commentators in suits and ties have also gone up to the commentary booth and started chatting before the game.
"It's a bit regrettable to say that we encountered a civil war in the quarterfinals. This is not good news for RNG."
Colonel Guan sighed.
The RNG fans in the barrage are about to vomit.
Isn't it you, Colonel Guan, who is casting the spell?
Although RNG fans also know that this is not something that Colonel Guan can influence, it is really too coincidental.
"Yes, but if you think about it, this can at least guarantee a place in the top four."
Miller said with a wry smile.
Although I don’t really want to see a civil war, at least one person can be admitted.
It’s not too bad.
"But for EDG, do they need this guarantee?"
The third explanation is remember.
He spread his hands and said helplessly.
Colonel Guan and Miller both nodded silently.
Too.
Where does EDG need to be escorted?
It may be hard to say except when playing against the equally strong IG, but doesn’t EDG beat anyone they play against?
Even if it's KT, they don't think they can challenge EDG today.
This time, EDG is aiming for the championship. Except for one or two teams, basically all other teams are not on the same level as them.
It is worth mentioning that there are still quite a few Korean spectators in the stadium.
Although EDG is playing against RNG today, don’t forget who is EDG’s mid laner.
SKT unexpectedly died in the round of 16, which was the most painful episode for countless people.
If you still want to watch the game, you can only watch Lee Sang Hyuk.
So now they have become EDG's fans just to support Faker.
In more common terms:
Come back, Laofei
Come back my Laofei, my proudest belief!
The image of Ryze is so vivid that tears are flowing for no apparent reason!
I vaguely remember Syndra and the powerful Tsar!
Beat LPL and you won’t feel tired even if you stay up all night!
There are many SKT fans who originally hated EDG, and believed that it was because EDG and SKT swapped mid laners that led to SKT's poor performance in the World Championship this year.
But now that their home team has been eliminated, they can only choose to support EDG.
After all, Lee Sang-hyuk is from SKT, right?
Plus kkoma.
Isn't SKT's orthodoxy in EDG? !
There was no promotional video for the quarterfinals, but there were of course pre-match interviews.
After the screen lit up, the first person to appear on the screen was EDG's top laner, Smeb.
"I hope I can finish today's game early. Letme is a very good player."
Smeb, sitting in front of the camera, had a calm expression and paused.
"Oh yes, I mean character."
The barrage was stunned for a moment before reacting, and a burst of laughter broke out at the scene.
"Awesome, praising Letme's character is okay, saying he has a good character but avoiding talking about his abilities, right? Good, good, good!"
"Smeb is good at using the Spring and Autumn style of writing, hahaha, he is really good at using yin and yang."
"Don't be so mean, didn't Smeb praise Letme's character? They should still have a good ."
This interview with Smeb is indeed interesting. Letme is obviously a professional player, but he was praising Letme's character.
Doesn't this indirectly mean that Letme has nothing else to praise?
And it's very obscure.
Mingkai in the backstage nodded with satisfaction, his eyes could not be seen from his smile.
He taught Smeb to say this.
When it comes to pre-match trash talk, Mingkai is second to none.
You can question Mingkai's ability all you want, but you can't question his trash talk level.
"It seems like you taught them this time?"
Abu nudged Mingkai with his shoulder and gave a mischievous smile.
"Well, they were so gentle before, not rebellious at all."
Mingkai nodded.
"We've reached the quarterfinals, so we have to be more aggressive in our trash talk."
Abu actually agreed with this point and patted Mingkai on the shoulder and laughed.
"Then I can start enjoying myself."
In the picture, it has now become Letme.
Apparently, he was there when Smeb was trash talking.
After all, they were all recorded in the same place.
Because there is so little time before the game, everyone has to hurry up for training, so naturally everyone hopes to finish recording early.
Letme did not look serious at this time, but tried his best to make himself look relaxed.
"Smeb has always been very famous, and many people say that he is a strong offensive top laner, but every time I play against him, I see him playing tank."
"Rather than being an offensive top laner, it's actually Savior 's Chinese Shield in the bottom lane, right?"
Letme racked his brains and said this with a smile.
In fact, the concept of "Shield of China" was brought up by Xu Yuan.
He often makes sharp comments on some Korean players on the forum.
For example, his comment on Uzi:
【Sword of China】
The joke is about the fact that Uzi used Lucian as a jungler in the early days to severely punish the jungler on the same team, the Korean jungle king insec.
This gave rise to a new concept: [Uzi is indeed resisting Korea].
You know what, this word made the people on Tieba laugh.
Black is indeed creative.
letme's [Shield of China] clearly means that Smeb is called an offensive top laner, but in fact he always plays the role of a dog for Xu Yuan.
The offensiveness is also quite sufficient.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
"Great! Aolatemi, the Shield of China is pretty good."
"It's really no problem. Smeb does often play team top for the bottom lane."
When the audience thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was no problem.
I'm laughing like crazy.
The next person to appear was RNG's jungler Karsa.
"Xiaotian is a relatively strong player, but to be honest, anyone can play with the three-lane advantage, so it's hard to tell his true strength."
"I hope he won't ask his teammates to come over to support me when we fight in the jungle. Let's 1v1 in the jungle to see your strength."
Kasa touched his head and was very optimistic.
Now Xiang Guo is no longer RNG's starting jungler, because Karsa has a better early-game rhythm and is stronger in map control.
Xiang Guo is RNG's hidden backup energy source. His playing style is too obvious, a pure double-edged sword.
Only when Karsa is completely confused will RNG choose to let Xiangguo play and fight.
When the camera turned, Xiaotian was already smiling.
"Why should I fight him 1v1 in the jungle? He can't beat my teammates, but he wants to fight me 1v1 in the jungle?"
"Are you qualified?"
He smiled.
“Maybe, not enough.”
Xiaotian said this in a matter-of-fact tone, and even used the voice of the new hero Kayn.
"Crazy!"
"Kuang Xiaotian!"
"To be honest, it is true."
The comments have become excited because everyone loves to watch this kind of thing.
During the trash talk session before the game, who would like to see the players being friendly with each other?
What does that mean?
It would be interesting only if we were tit-for-tat.
The camera turned again, and the e-sports comedian Xiaohu appeared in front of the camera.
He had a calm expression, his hands folded across his chest, a classic sitting posture of a real man.
"Faker should be the mid laner with the highest honors, but Faker also lost to Samsung in S4 and EDG in S7. He will lose too."
"In S8, he will also lose to our RNG."
"Faker said before that he didn't remember my ID, this time I will make him remember it. The person who defeated him has the ID RNGxiaohu."
The next moment, Li Xianghe appeared in front of the camera and chuckled, revealing a somewhat contemptuous smile.
"I actually memorized Xiaohu's ID. After all, I haven't lost to many of my opponents so many times in a row."
“No one can remember the name of a loser unless he fails every time.”
"Obviously, in terms of failure, Xiaohu has undoubtedly succeeded."
He gave the camera a thumbs-up and a serious smile.
Xu Yuan, who was about to go on stage, took a breath of cold air.
"Gui Gui, Brother Kai, what's wrong with your brain?"
This is some really harsh trash talk.
In terms of failure, account cancellation has been a success.
What does this mean? I really can't think about it!
It’s such a loss.
As expected of Mingkai, he can even think of this.
The ancient Greek god of trash talk!
“Keep a low profile.”
Mingkai showed a half-forced smile like that of the Great Power King, put one hand behind his back, placed the other hand in front of him, and saluted gracefully.
Xiaotian laughed silly.
byd Brother Kai, you are quite proud, right?
After the trash talk from the mid laners on both sides, it is naturally the AD's turn.
Uzi was wearing the RNG team uniform and had a somewhat shy smile on his face.
"I hope I can play better today and try not to have any regrets."
"I don't have a lot of time like the Savior. I don't have much time left, so I have to be worthy of myself."
“I hope it goes well.”
Uzi was probably really familiar with it, as there was no sarcasm in his trash talk this time.
In fact, he hasn't mocked anyone for a long time.
Uzi is not young anymore this year, and he retired for the first time after S9.
Now he can no longer hold on, mainly because with the rise of EDG, the strength of the region has become much higher than before.
The key is that Uzi is a person who never gives up, so he naturally trains harder.
Uzi has a lot of problems, but his training attitude is impeccable.
"You didn't listen to Mingkai?"
Meiko pushed Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan nodded.
"No, I just used what Kai said before."
"Ah? What?"
Meiko was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Xu Yuan appeared in front of the camera.
"There's nothing much to study about playing against RNG. Just gank the bottom lane at level 2 and you're done."
He smiled brightly.
Meiko breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Well, that's fine."
Xu Yuan glanced at him and smiled.
He knew what Meiko meant. Uzi didn't mock him, so he'd better not mock Uzi either.
Because this is a civil war in an international competition.
Xu Yuan is certainly not so completely without emotional intelligence.
The trash talk and friendly atmosphere of the ADs on both sides made the barrage unhappy.
"That's it?"
"Pull it! Pull it!"
"No one expected it! No one expected it! The Savior, who we had high hopes for, actually pulled the trash talk!"
But they will soon be even more disappointed.
Because Meiko and Xiao Ming also have a good relationship.
As the pre-match trash talk session ended, players from both teams began to appear on the stage.
The cheers of the audience echoed in Xu Yuan's ears, mixed with some of his ID.
This also made his expression a little more serious.
There are a lot of fans coming.
In the words of a champion support:
Well, I can't find any reason to lose.
kkoma had a calm expression and watched the players enter the competition room with focused eyes.
BP, start!
This time, EDG was the first to choose a side, and they chose the red side.
In the S8 World Championship version, the main focus is on the mid, top and jungle.
Then it is naturally more important for the red side to be able to get the absolute counter position in the fifth hand.
However, it is not absolutely true that the red side is larger than the blue side.
Take EDG for example, they can still fight even when they are on the blue side.
Because the blue team can grab the most critical hero first.
"Jace."
RNG coach Sun Dayong spoke in a deep voice.
Jayce, Aatrox, and Irelia, these three are all T1 in this version.
For RNG, although Aatrox and Irelia are difficult to deal with, at least they know a little bit about their own mid and top positions.
Let’s not talk about whether it can be C or not, I have indeed played with it.
The only exception is Jayce. No one in the mid or top positions had the confidence to use this hero against EDG.
The key is that this version of Jayce is awesome, so we have to take care of it.
So Sun Dayong had no choice but to press it.
He clenched his fists tightly, nervously waiting for kkoma's Ban.
"Don't move Xia..."
He murmured.
For RNG at this moment, the hero Xia is really important.
The laning intensity in the early stage is not low, and the two-piece set in the mid-term is also the time to exert strength. They are considered to be the heroes they are most confident in facing this version.
"Xia."
kkoma doesn't care what Sun Dayong thinks.
It is so easy to BP against RNG. As long as they can get rid of Uzi's Xayah, this version of RNG will pose no threat to them.
After all, we have fought too many times.
Directly target Uzi's Xia first and remove her to finish the job.
"Ah, Xia is gone."
Hongmi, who was watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but sigh.
"Kkoma is still Kkoma. He really caught this obvious weakness."
"It's three to zero."
Come to think of it, how could kkoma not see such an obvious problem?
And since kkoma has already noticed this, today's game...
RNG has been sent.
Uzi exhaled, "As expected, I can't get Xia, but it's okay. I can beat my brothers."
Can you really fight?
He didn't know either, but he could only believe that he could fight.
"Letme, can you play Irelia?"
Sun Dayong spoke in a deep voice.
If you want to break the deadlock, you can't leave out any of the remaining Irelia and Aatrox.
When the top laner gets Irelia, he performs better than the mid laner Irelia.
Because it is difficult for a mid-lane Irelia to make a breakthrough in the early stage when facing a mage, but a top-lane Irelia has a chance to win.
So Sun Dayong asked Letme if he could play Irelia.
During training, Letme actually played a lot of Irelia.
But training is training, and whether he can perform well in the competition is still unclear.
"I……"
It’s a bit difficult to say about letme.
If you ask me whether it will happen or not, then it will definitely happen.
Can we beat Smeb?
He really doesn't have that confidence.
After all, he is not a common man.
Seeing Letme hesitate, Uzi spoke with some disappointment.
"Is it really impossible?"
If Letme didn't play, the chances of winning today would be 10% lower.
As if seeing Uzi’s disappointed look, Letme pursed his lips and finally nodded.
"Okay, give me the sword girl."
At this point, there is no reason to continue to escape.
Sun Dayong nodded.
There is no need to worry about it now since Letme says it’s okay.
That's fine!
"Ryze."
His second choice was to kill Ryze.
In this version, Ryze is also a T1 level mid laner. If someone is not playing well, that is the problem of the account cancellation, and it has nothing to do with Ryze.
[QEQWQEQ], this is Ryze's basic combo.
For a veteran Ryze like Lee Sang-hyeok, it is as easy as eating and drinking.
Once you become proficient in this hero, you will have stable control and burst, as well as the support of your ultimate skill when running around the map, and the ability to carry the team alone in the later stages.
They can pose a great threat to the opponent.
Especially since Lee Sang-hyeok is very experienced, giving him Ryze is like adding wings to a tiger.
Therefore, it is impossible for Sun Dayong to give this Ryze to EDG.
"Urgot!"
Kkoma was unmoved and chose to kill Crab Urgot in the second move.
Urgot was revamped in the S8 Summer Season, but he didn't become popular until the World Championship.
It can have good effects whether fighting against Sword Demon or Irelia.
The tankiness itself is also very sufficient.
It is a hero that fits the RNG system very well, and Letme’s proficiency in it is not low.
Letme's Ornsian and the like are just punching bags in the World Championship.
EDG didn't care at all and were too lazy to move.
What if I give it to you?
But Urgot is different. The killing and fear power of his ultimate skill can make him play a very good effect in team battles.
So kkoma chose to press it.
"spider!"
In his third move, Sun Dayong decided to kill the spider.
Xiaotian's Spider is also a great combination with EDG's protection system.
In order to ensure Uzi's safety, this spider cannot be given to EDG.
RNG has realized that continuing to focus on the bottom lane will not lead to any good results.
But that doesn't mean they will ignore the bottom lane at all.
If Spider stays crouching in the early game, Uzi will be under a lot of pressure.
If you can't get Xayah, only heroes like Lucian can create an early rhythm and find ways to speed up.
But facing Spider, Lucian really has no room to play
So this spider must be moved.
"Bull head!"
EDG chose to target Xiao Ming’s Minotaur in the third pick.
As an option that can also counter Luo in this version, Alistar has good laning ability and can cooperate with many ADs.
This blocked the movement of many RNG bottom lane combinations.
The first round of BP is over!
On the blue side, RNG killed Jeth and Ryze's spider.
The red team's EDG pressed down Xayah, Urgot, and Minotaur.
It's the blue team's turn to grab.
With almost no hesitation, Sun Dayong immediately chose Luo.
The opponent removed the Minotaur in order to create an environment for Luo to enter the field, and Sun Dayong was very clear about this.
Even though he had some suspicion that this Luo might be a trap set by EDG, he had no other way to go now.
Luo, it's worth grabbing.
"Sure enough, he took Luo."
kkoma smiled faintly.
"Just go to the bottom lane group, support Morgana, Savior, give me a stronger AD choice, I want you to suppress the opponent's bottom lane."
He did not limit Xu Yuan to a certain hero, but told him his own requirements.
Xu Yuan rubbed his wrist and a confident smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Skateboard Calista, how about it?"
When it comes to suppressing power, it must be Skateboard Shoes or Dezi.
It’s not that this Druid isn’t a bad choice, but Druid isn’t as good with Morgana as with Thresh.
Skateboard Shoes are even more compatible with Morgana.
The opponent's support has been confirmed to be Luo. No matter who the AD is, he can't beat Skates.
Because Skateboard Shoes is so powerful in laning.
So after kkoma gave his requirements, Xu Yuan immediately thought of the hero Skateboard Shoes.
"Calista?"
kkoma raised his eyebrows slightly, and after thinking for a while, he snapped his fingers crisply.
A smile appeared on his face.
“Good choice.”
EDG used their first and second skills and directly took out the bottom lane group.
Skateboard shoes plus Morgana!
"Wow! Skateboard shoes!"
Miller was startled.
This hero is an iconic hero in the early and mid-game, and it is full of blood as soon as he is brought out.
After all, no skateboard shoes are meant to be developed.
"This bot lane is great, but EDG is going to play the bot lane like this. Aren't they afraid that the opponent will use AD to counter this combination?"
I remember being a little confused.
"It's useless. No matter whether you bring out Varus or Tristana Lucian, can you compete with Skateboards in damage in a laning match? Impossible. The support is Luo."
Colonel Guan simply shook his head.
Luo’s laning phase is too soft.
The Morgana on the opposite side cast a black shield on Skateboard Shoes, and then Luo was useless.
kkoma deliberately tricked RNG into choosing Luo just for this Morgana.
Obviously, he succeeded.
I just remembered this and it suddenly dawned on me.
Yes, the support has been countered to death.
Even if the AD also brings out a strong AD, it will be difficult to win against someone like Skateboard Shoes.
Is this kkoma’s BP?
It’s really... so terrifying!
"Lucian, Ice Maiden!"
Sun Dayong also felt the severity of the situation and chose to use Lucian and Ice Girl.
Needless to say, Lucian is the only ADC that RNG still trusts besides Xayah.
Ice Girl is a functional choice. On the one hand, it is to cooperate with Luo in the team fight, and on the other hand, it is to prevent Faker from taking out Ahri.
Generally speaking, Ice Girl is definitely a counter to Leblanc.
Aftershock Ice Girl will basically not be at a disadvantage when fighting against Leblanc, and it is very easy to tie the line.
I have to say that Sun Dayong's BP is indeed reasonable, not so rigid, and understandable.
However, after seeing RNG take out the Ice Girl, Lee Sang-hyuk showed a confident smile.
"Give me the enchantress!"
Yes, he had to choose Leblanc despite the opponent's Ice Girl being cancelled.
"Are you sure?"
kkoma didn't ask Lee Sang Hyuk why, he only asked Lee Sang Hyuk if he was sure.
"Yeah, sure!"
Li Xianghe nodded seriously.
"I just want to use the enchantress to crush his ice maiden!"
For Li Xianghe, this enchantress is a very good choice.
Heroes like Lucian and Luo basically cannot withstand the consumption of Leblanc.
Taking out Leblanc will put a lot of pressure on the opponent.
As for the Ice Girl in the middle lane...
To be honest, Lee Sang Hyuk didn't care.
In fact, the Ice Girl who cancelled her account was just like that.
He really doesn't have any pressure.
Since you have this confidence, you must choose it.
This is Lee Sang Hyuk!
kkoma didn’t say anything more and picked the mid laner Ahri in the third pick.
This move was even more exaggerated than sending out the bottom lane group first, so much so that the commentators at the commentary desk fell silent.
Arcanine counters Leblanc, this is something even gold-ranked players know.
kkoma and EDG, it is impossible that they don’t know.
But they chose it anyway.
"…There's no other explanation other than self-confidence, right?"
Colonel Guan let out a breath and said with a smile.
"Is this Faker? I know you want to cancel your account and buy the Ice Maiden, but I'm going to use the Leblanc to beat you!"
"Yes! Faker's choice is very aggressive!"
Miller exclaimed.
The barrage also exploded instantly.
"Gui Gui, are you really that confident? You don't even consider the account cancellation as a human being?"
"What a joke! Does Brother Li need to treat the account cancellation as a human being? He always loses every year!"
"Don't be so crazy, you pig!"
"Haha, I'll cancel my C account later and see if Li Xianghe can still smile!"
Even the account cancellation at this time felt his temperature gradually rising.
This is too much! This is too much!
Am I really a soft persimmon in your eyes? !
The account holder was very angry.
Whether the consequences are serious or not...that depends on his performance.
But today Uzi is not famous yet, but account cancellation has become famous first.
It’s really magical.
Li Xianghe looked at the enchantress on the screen calmly without saying a word.
He knew that the person who cancelled his account would definitely be angry, because if he put himself in his shoes, he would be angry too.
But he doesn't care.
The strong ones should humiliate the weak ones who are stubborn!
Since I think I can play, I dare to choose.
What will the account seller think?
He doesn't care.
For him, canceling the account in anger...it was just anger at best.
He finally found a soft target when he was forced to buy a new account.
In the second round, EDG moved first and defeated the Prince.
The Prince and the Ice Girl are also a classic mid-jungle combination, and they still need to be respected.
Although account cancellation is not a good thing, Casa is still worth targeting.
RNG chose to kill the Sword Demon in return.
It is definitely impossible to give this Aatrox to Letme, so I have decided to choose Irelia for Letme, so naturally I have to work hard on BP.
In EDG’s last move, they chose to kill the Troll.
This is Kasa's unique skill.
It's normal to respect one hand.
Some players' special skills are to use them against the version and they are still effective, and the Troll is not particularly against the version.
"For the last pick, we should choose Irelia, right? After all, we got to choose the fourth pick first, right?"
kkoma stared at BP closely and muttered to himself.
Even if RNG really wants to take Irelia, aren't they afraid that EDG will grab her first?
They didn’t win in the first round and are clearly still hesitating.
However, kkoma made a mistake for the first time.
“Blind Monk!”
In RNG’s last move, they chose to kill Xiaotian’s Lee Sin.
"ha?"
kkoma suddenly smiled with relief.
"No way?"
Could it be that Letme really wants to play Irelia?
But you can’t get this either.
"I feel like I can give it to them. I can use the heavy warrior to beat him."
smeb suggested.
"oh?"
kkoma was immediately attracted.
Speaking of which, he really isn't very clear about how well Letme plays Irelia.
With BP at this point, EDG’s winning rate is already very high.
There is really no problem for the heavy armored warrior to fight against Irelia, at least the solo laning is similar, but Irelia is now a little stronger in team fights.
Should I give the first hand to the opponent to see how good he is?
kkoma fell into deep thought.
After a while, he made a decision.
"good!"
"Give them a hand and try it."
Anyway, RNG has already grasped the situation and has a big advantage in the first game. It doesn’t matter even if they lose, the most it will be is 3 to 1.
He still has this kind of confidence.
Kkoma is just steady, which doesn't mean he is not aware of the gap in strength.
"Pig girl."
In the fourth hand, he gave Xiaotian Pig Girl.
"I really don't want to choose..."
Letme's hands shook uncontrollably and his eyes looked a little bleary.
He really didn't expect that he could choose Irelia.
But he had already told coach Sun Dayong at the beginning that he could play.
So it’s too late to regret now.
RNG took out their last two picks, Irelia and Xin Zhao.
EDG's last move was to use a hero that no one expected.
"I will lead them to victory!"
A steady voice sounded, and a general holding a huge axe appeared in front of everyone, locked on!
In an instant, the screen was filled with barrages of comments.
"I'm awesome, Noxus!"
BP of both parties ends:
Blue side RNG:
Top Lane Irelia
Jungle Xin Zhao
Mid Single Ice Girl
Bottom lane Lucian Gallo
Red side EDG:
Top Noxus
Wild Boar Girl
Mid Single Leblanc
The bottom lane team is composed of Skateboard Shoes and Morgana.
The game begins!
