Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Chapter 100: Advance to the quarterfinals. Are some people disappointed?

An 8,000 economic lead means that when the support, jungler, and mid positions do not get much economic benefits, the most important AD and top lane front-row hero in the Censer Monster version have one larger item development than their opponents.

It also represents... the point where the economy is less than 10,000 and can be turned around!

Since the economic gap was not big enough, even though the policewoman had three critical hits + armor penetration, and Noxus had four and a half items, the EDG players still positioned themselves carefully, not giving SKT the opportunity to kill multiple heroes at once.

After Ye Tian told Iboy about this, he noticed the release of the clamps and used [Yordle Traps] one after another, putting the two short-handed heroes, Troll and Sejuani, in a dilemma.

Seeing EDG constantly destroying the second tower in the middle lane, SKT could no longer tolerate it.

Choose to force a group start.

but.

Can't beat anyone!

Sejuani's QR sniper shot hit Noxus, and the combination of the Troll Pillar blocking and stealing double resistance was strong enough to turn a seemingly indestructible tank into a piece of cardboard that could be broken with just a poke.

The problem is that the most powerful item in this version is the Gargoyle Stoneplate Armor!

Ye Tian used the plate armor active in the gap of SKT's control chain, doubling his health and easily withstanding the first burst.

Use two EQ combos to pull the troll and pig girl.

The outer circle swept past, hitting two people, restoring 24% of the lost blood volume while triggering the three-phase force acceleration. Despite the serious injuries, he raised more than blood points and walked away!

The R skills of Sejuani and Troll are gone.

The mouse's R skill is gone too.

All Noxus paid was a Gargoyle Stoneplate Armor special effect, and he didn't even use the flash in his hand. Moreover, with the passive blessing of the Berserker Armor, which allows him to recover 6% of his health per second after being out of combat for seconds, he can wait for more than ten seconds and become a fully-healthy hero again!
"SKT is essentially an explosive lineup, and they cannot beat EDG in a protracted battle."

Miller saw it: "The combination of Sejuani, Troll, Rat and Clockwork's four ultimates is really devastating, but as long as EDG can get through this wave, SKT will be powerless in the future."

"In the last wave, only Clockwork's ultimate was useless." Wawa saw it clearly: "Next time, SKT will not have enough control or damage!"

On tankiness.

Piglet and Gragas are on the same level.

Apart from the health and resistance percentage stolen by the ultimate, the Troll has no skills to improve armor, magic resistance, and damage reduction. He is even worse than Noxus - Noxus's EQ will definitely hit a hero and restore 12%, which can be stacked infinitely!
In addition, the front row and AD output each have a big equipment difference, so SKT is no match for EDG!
"I understand."

"Tian is replacing Cho'Gate with Darius."

KkOma, a three-time champion coach, has a sharp eye: "Cat has a true damage kill, and so does Noxus. From the perspective of skill mechanism, Noxus is a greater threat to the back row."

"In terms of tankiness, although Darius is worse than Big Worm, Big Worm can't beat anyone in the early stage, while Darius can suppress others and snowball. When Darius leads by one big item in economy, his tankiness is higher than Big Worm."

The giant bug's R [Feast] can stack nearly a thousand more health points.

but.

This life is dry.

Not as good as some defensive equipment that comes with special effects.

The benefits provided by Berserker, Randuin, Gargoyle Plate, and Invigorating Armor (including healing shield) far exceed the simple 1,000-point health limit.

It is normal for players who are strong enough to use Noxus to develop half an extra big item than the big worm. At that time, it is not much worse than the big worm with full stacks of [Feast]. After having one more big item, it forms an all-round encirclement of the big worm.

what?
How many hundreds of blood points lower than the limit killing line?

Noxus’s A made up for it right away!

What's more, when Noxus triggers [Blood Rage], his kill line is close to 1,500. The big worm can only bite out 2,000 in the four seconds when the Gargoyle Stone Plate Armor doubles its health, and in normal form it is only 1,000.

In the professional league, which professional player would let a giant worm with plate armor bite him? !
pity.

No matter how clearly KkOma sees it, it cannot affect the outcome of this game.

EDG regrouped and destroyed SKT's second tower in the middle lane.

Step by step towards the high ground.

Ye Tian and Iboy arranged the clamp array, found a good angle, and used E [Ruthless Iron Hand] diagonally to pull the troll to the policewoman's clamp, which exceeded the range of the skill indicator!
click -

A crisp sound was heard.

【Yordle Trap】Snap on.

The policewoman hit the troll with a headshot bullet, and then used the EQ to fire the [Peacemaker] which was sure to hit the target.

[90 Caliber Rope Net] binds the troll, allowing the policewoman to get a second headshot and double the attack distance, and then gives the troll another hard blow!
The equipment on the troll is Greedy Hydra + Great Ice Heart + Exhilarating Armor + Great Magic Resistance. During the normal period without using the big items, his health and armor are very low. He was focused by the four big items of the policewoman and other EDG players, and most of the equipment was gone!

"Huni is out of health, SKT can't hold on!"

Miller said hurriedly: "EDG finished their attack, but they didn't rush to start. They just consumed their energy slowly. Noxus should keep a distance and wait for Berserker to recover. Then, Gragas should push forward. SKT can neither start a team fight nor outlast EDG. They are now dying slowly!"

"Yes, don't be in a hurry." Wawa echoed: "Pay attention to avoid the ball from Clockwork. If you can hit the tower, hit it. If you can't, let the minions go to grind... Noxus pressed back, SKT retreated, and the middle highland tower fell!"

boom--

There was an explosion.

What was destroyed was not just a highland tower, but also SKT's defense line that collapsed throughout the game!
When one line of super soldiers was removed, SKT, which had to split its troops to defend, was unable to stop EDG's advancement and lost the second high ground in the last three seconds before the Baron BUFF disappeared!

not only.

this moment.

Ye Tian’s sprint is ready!
Seeing that Clockwork was far away and it would take at least ten seconds for him to reunite with his teammates, Ye Tian tapped the D key, his movement speed suddenly increased, and he rushed towards the SKT lineup!
E [Ruthless Iron Hand] Pull the troll!
AWQ seamless connection!

A perfect quadruple combo stacked three layers of bleeding. After escaping from Sejuani's control, with the help of Lulu's transformation into a sheep and Leblanc's [Magic Chain], he attacked the troll twice and entered the [Blood Rage] state!
"Tian rushed to the tower to start the team fight, full of momentum!"

"The troll's ultimate took away Tian's double resistance, and he ran back with his life, but Tian opened the Gargoyle Plate Armor, and SKT couldn't beat him at all!"

Miller spoke at full speed: "Faker is coming here, let's see what he said...Wow, Tian directly flashed in and killed the Janna!"

A golden light flashed.

Noxus swung his round battle axe and killed Rat and Wind Girl.

The axe blade swept across, and R [Noxian Guillotine] chopped down fiercely, killing the wind girl who gave the shield to the rat with one axe!

The incense burner monster’s body is gone!
The rat was forced to use two moves, and the [Full Fire] time expired, turning it into a spectator on the battlefield.

Noxus turned and rushed towards the troll, sweeping with two AWs in a row, and then used [Guillotine] on the low-health Troll King!
Even if the dual resistance stolen from the troll reaches the highest point, the policewoman can only hit more than 100 with a critical hit, but it is useless in the face of true damage that ignores all resistances and percentage reductions, and she turns into a corpse!
Double kill! !
The double kill sound effect sounded.

The Clockwork Mage used by Faker arrived late, and looking at the powerless Rat and the Pig Girl who imitated the factory manager and threw the pig away and ran away, he could only retreat.

34 minutes 27 seconds.

SKT's third lane high ground was breached.

The fastest resurrected hero takes 47 seconds!
"Push forward, push forward!"

"SKT can't be stopped!"

Wawa was very excited: "Clockwork's ultimate pulled back Miss Fortune, but it doesn't matter, Lulu has a shield and ultimate, Miss Fortune is in no danger, keep moving forward! Tian used the scan to find Twitch, who was forced back again, Sejuani got hit by LeBron's chain and used the reverse Q to escape, EDG can take down the front teeth!"

The two hub defense towers sank one by one.

Only a bare crystal remains.

next second.

Bullets, barrels, arcane energy, and bloody axes fell onto the giant blue crystal.

"Demolish!"

"dismantle!"

"Yes, yes!"

As the commentator's voice became louder and louder, the five EDG players attacked SKT's main base with all their might!

When the battle axe slashed for the last time, the durability of the blue crystal was completely reduced to zero, and it began to gradually decompose from the base.

First it breaks into pieces, then splits into smaller pieces, and finally explodes into dust all over the sky!
In the last match of the group stage of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship, EDG, despite being 0-3 down in the first round and only having a theoretical chance of qualifying, defeated the North American Light C9 and the Taipei Red Pegasus AHQ in succession, and then defeated SKT with a bloodthirsty battle axe, qualifying for a tiebreaker with C9!
"Congratulations EDG!"

"Congratulations!"

Wawa set the mood: "From 0-3 to 3-3, EDG not only fought back the points, but also the state and momentum of the whole team. Whether it was the decisive teamfighting by Zztai or Scout's roaming around, as well as Iboy's steady output and Meiko's meticulous vision and protection, they all let us see EDG at its peak!"

“This is EDG!”

"This is what our LPL region's No. 1 seed should look like!"

"More importantly, it's Tian." Miller praised repeatedly: "From laning to teamfights, Tian is the absolute key player in the EDG team. Even in the face of SKT's four-ban top laner + lineup restrictions, Tian still found a way to break through, and used facts to tell everyone what a super top laner is!"

【777777】

[We are back, all are back]

[Everyone is crucial and in great shape]

[The factory manager is no longer a coward, the junior student no longer sleepwalks, and the lotus man no longer picks up coins. Is this the change brought about by Brother Tian?]

[Gargoyle Plate Armor Noxus is really awesome, with full health, Q and flash, he can kill the back row instantly]

[Too scary]

[STK wants to report EDG, how to play with proxy]

[No, this person can power level in the LPL finals, and can also power level in the world game? ]

[RNG four protecting one, EDG one carrying four, can you see the difference? ]

【If we beat C9, we will advance to the quarterfinals. Come on EDG! 】

The live broadcast room was filled with comments supporting EDG.

In the live audience seats, cheers and shouts for EDG were heard one after another, and all EDG fans were venting the emotions that had been suppressed for nearly a week.

…“Awesome!”

"EDG is awesome, Brother Tian is awesome!"

Neutral anchor Jiu Gege jumped up from his gaming chair and put his big face towards the camera: "What do you think, Laojiu, I said EDG can advance, right? What? They have to play C9 in an extra game? With EDG's current state, don't even mention C9. Bring LCK's No. seed LZ over here, and I'll chop you up!"

【That’s right】

[Central idea, firm stance, referred to as neutrality]

【Zhongli】

【There is nothing wrong with Lao Jiu】

[EDG has advanced and may really fight against LZ. What do you think, Laojiu? 】

"LZ?"

"LZ, right..."

Jiu held his chin and thought for a moment: "LZ is indeed a strong opponent, but I believe that with Tian Ge here, EDG has a very good chance of winning against any opponent!"

...

"See it? See it!"

"This is my master!"

In the Internet cafe on Chibi Avenue in HG City, a fat man was boasting: "Under the guidance of my master, I broke through the barrier between heaven and man, and rushed from a three-year old diamond to a king. You didn't believe in my master's strength yet, but now you believe it, right?"

"How is RNG?"

"What about SKT?"

The fat man pointed at the screen, his face full of arrogance: "My master doesn't even use the mainstream top laner. He just picks a long-hand top laner and a bully hero like Noxus to beat them. The special weapons he taught me are not worth choosing!"

...

"Did EDG really beat SKT?"

"I X!"

Inside the WE training room, all the members watched the live broadcast with expressions of disbelief.

Who's on the other side?

It’s SKT, the team that has won three championships and has the great devil Faker in charge!
In this game, SKT not only chose the system they are best at, but also demonstrated perfect operational capabilities. Except for the slightly obvious disadvantage in the early stage, they did their best in every aspect.

What does it mean that EDG can defeat such a SKT?
This shows that the current EDG is stronger than the EDG that had to disrupt SKT's rhythm to win in the 2015 MSI!

...

"we won!"

"Won!"

"3-3, we can go to extra games! We can go to extra games!"

The EDG players walked out step by step from the bottom of the cliff, and after winning the most difficult game, everyone was extremely excited.

Iboy bounced around on the stage.

Scout raised his hands in celebration.

Meiko tried hard to maintain a calm expression and a pure and innocent persona, but the curve at the corner of her mouth could not be concealed no matter what.

The factory manager went from being in the dark to being in the light, recreating the style of "The World is Focusing on You".

Ye Tian also took a deep breath, put on a smile, and joined his teammates in celebrating.

Backstage lounge.

Abu, Maokai and their accompanying staff hugged each other and cheered.

"I think Ye Tian is a good guy!"

Maokai performed Sichuan Opera face-changing: "When I saw Ye Tian picked Noxus, I knew he was not simple. The Gargoyle Plate Armor can resist bursts, stack blood rage, and use Q to flash and kill. It's really awesome. They are still playing giant worms and giant trolls. They are all little brothers in front of Ye Tian's Noxus!"

"I remember you never let Ye Tianxuan choose on the stage?" Abu pointed out.

“No… that…” Mao Kai’s face turned slightly red, and he coughed dryly: “I was putting some mental pressure on Ye Tian, ​​so that he would be careful when fighting and give his best… Forget it, I won’t pretend anymore, I’m pretending to be Zhu Kai!”

"Hahahahaha!"

"Zhu Kai is going to curse."

"He still dares to scold people? With his two skills, whether he can understand or speak well, will Ye Tian scold him and start over?"

"Don't mention it. I was scolded by Ye Tian so much that I wanted to reopen it."

Everyone joined in the discussion.

The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

When the EDG players walked over to SKT's seat to shake hands, the SKT players showed unprecedented respect. Everyone stood up and prepared in advance. Even the most arrogant Huni put on a humble expression.

"This economic curve is really very special."

Miller looked at the post-match data and said, "After EDG's economic lead reached 5,000, they kept fighting a see-saw battle with SKT, with the lead fluctuating within a few hundred until they got the first Baron. At that time, we were very worried - everyone knows that when playing against a strong team like SKT, a 5,000 economic lead is actually a tie."

In an era when the LPL only knew how to play with fists and the European and North American teams couldn't even clench their fists, the Korean team had such a strong position.

The other regions are three thousand ahead, no need to look, the Korean team has the advantage.

Only when we are ahead by 5,000 can we be considered evenly matched.

Note the word used here, it is "calculate", that is to say, even if other regions are leading by 5,000 yuan, the Korean team's chance of winning can still reach 70% or even higher!
"Yes."

Wawa agreed: "EDG won this game, and will face the last hope of the North American division - C9. Both teams have the same points and the same win-loss record. The team that wins the tiebreaker will get Group A, which is also the last team to qualify for the quarterfinals of this world finals!"

ten minutes later.

EDG and C9 took to the main stage.

C9 won the rock-paper-scissors game and actively chose the red side to get the fifth-floor counter position for the top lane. They also imitated SKT's approach in the Ban/Pick phase, hoping to avoid being beaten by EDG's strongest carry point through a single-line breakthrough with his personal ability.

but.

C9 is not SKT after all.

Facing SKT, EDG dare not be careless at any point. Even Ye Tian has to look at the overall lineup before deciding which hero to use.

For C9 and an old ace...

Just take out the sword girl.

EDG used the standard 9- split push lineup with top lane Fiora, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Galio, and bottom lane Caitlyn Lulu. C took the risk and chose a special system with top lane Troll, jungle Jarvan, mid lane Dragon King, and bottom lane Xayah + Gemstone.

During the laning phase.

Da Mu was focused on playing it safe, and was only 17 CS behind in eight minutes. He also escaped from the desperate situation of being killed with the help of the jungler. It can be said that he performed above his level.

but.

C9's bottom lane was blown up.

EDG quickly pushed around Caitlyn, and the double front row protection of Sejuani and Galio was impeccable, making it impossible for C9 to resist. The mid laner Dragon King could only go to the side lane to find the split-pushing Fiora.

This search turned out to be a big problem!

Ye Tian used W [Laurent's Heart Eye Knife] to block the troll pillar, turning the deceleration into stun, freezing the Dragon King, and connecting with four kills in one second like flowing water, getting his first kill and starting the snowball mode!

EDG is fully capable of frontal team battles and does not require Ye Tian’s participation.

So Ye Tian first made the Greedy Hydra, and then bought the Power of Three Phases, highlighting one method to push the division to the end.

On the other hand, Da Mu had to go head-on to help his teammates block EDG's charge. His equipment focused on team battles. From the 19th minute when he was killed by Ye Tian by crossing the tower, he lost the qualifications to compete with Ye Tian.

Twenty-four minutes later, Ye Tian broke through C9's bottom lane high ground alone.

In the 26th minute, EDG took the Baron and started to advance along the middle and top lanes.

C9 can't hold on any way!
finally.

EDG led three lanes of troops and drove straight in, winning a one-for-five crushing team fight in front of the C9 base, sending away the last hope of the North American division and securing a place in the quarterfinals of the World Finals!
...

The atmosphere in the RNG training room was quite solemn.

EDG got the second qualifying spot in Group A, and naturally became a potential opponent of the three group leaders besides SKT.

If RNG and EDG were drawn together... even if they wouldn't admit it, everyone from the coach to the players knew that the chances of winning were extremely slim.

Think of this.

The RNG members looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Let's see how the draw goes. The chances of us getting picked are still low."

Coach Feng Ge encouraged his players: "EDG in the World Championship is not the inner war phantom god in the LPL region. In the past three years, their best result was only the quarterfinals. If they really draw us, the result is hard to predict."

"Yes, we all know how to target Tian!" Xiaohu said confidently: "Use a Troll to fight him. If the jungler sees that the situation is not right, he can go up to protect him and help the top laner to clear the line. As long as we don't fight him, it won't be a big deal even if he gets a little ahead in last-hitting."

"C9 played very well in the top lane, but the other positions were too weak and were completely blown away by EDG."

"We won't do that, especially with Uzi in the bottom lane, we can completely crush EDG!"

"Of course!" UZI looked proud.

"Hey, look at this." Letme was browsing the post-match comments when he suddenly found an unexpected hot search.

——#Are some people disappointed#
When I clicked on it, I saw a text message from EDG Tian (Brother Kuangfeng): Sorry, we advanced, are some people disappointed?
