Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"EDG takes the lead and wins their first semi-final victory!"

"Let's give applause to EDG!"

Wang Duoduo's voice was full of excitement: "I hope EDG will not make any mistakes in the next games, play steadily and steadily, and perform at their best."

"And we need to maintain this BP strategy." Ze Yuan was much more cautious: "This is a BO5 match. Even though EDG won the first game easily, we must not let our guard down in the second game. Facing a team like G2, EDG must not follow the old path of operations in terms of lineup selection. We must try to bring out heroes that are suitable for bringing out individual abilities."

"That's right." Rita agreed: "For G2, the biggest problem today is that they are very passive in the Ban/Pick phase, especially in the top and bottom lanes. In terms of individual strength, the gap between the top and bottom lanes is a bit big."

"I think this was a game that required more preparation. Tian Ge's Jayce was completely beyond G2's expectations." Wang Duoduo thought divergently: "In this World Championship, before IG and EDG, the person who picked Jayce was PVB's top laner, so no matter AFS or G2, they didn't expect to face Jayce. And I gathered a little news when I was in the lounge, that is, Tian Ge and The Shy have played a lot of solos recently, and the two must have practiced Jayce specifically."

The news that IG did not play training matches with EDG has never been spread.

It doesn't matter what excuse your team makes for not training together.

IG refused to make it public.

There is no need for EDG to be the villain.

After all, after winning the world championship last year, EDG's reputation has risen a lot. This season, they have the feeling of laying down their butcher knives and becoming a Buddha. When encountering bugs in the regular season, they did not play the classic time rewind, which made many viewers miss the grand occasion when the willful academic master - Old Man Seven was still there.

Ye Tian and The shy are performing solo together, which is positive news.

Only a small number of people in the circle know about it.

Before EDG took out Jayce, no one could say that this item would easily make G2 on guard. After EDG took out Jayce, there was naturally no need to hide it anymore.

[G2 was stunned. How come EDG also has a Jayce?]

[The world's No. 1 and No. 2 are training together, how can any top laner stand up to them?]

[Reasonably, I think it should be the best in the world and the best in the world]

[Number one in the world, number one in the world, right? ]

[Classic hahahaha]

【Seeing EDG playing so easily, we still don’t know how RNG lost to G2】

[Need I say this? EDG doesn’t charge money]

[God doesn’t charge money]

[Mainly because G2 relies too much on UZI]

"Brother Tian played a huge role in this game."

Ze Yuan watched the replay: "In the first wave, we opened the door and ambushed Aatrox. We used the hammer form of E [Thunderbolt] to get the first blood and death flash of Aatrox. From that moment on, the laning in the top lane was over. In order to ensure that Aatrox was not directly blown through, Zhao Xin went up after killing the blue buff, which directly led to Kai'Sa being bypassed and the lower half of the jungle being completely empty."

"And in the jungle, Brother Tian used a burst combined with a flash to kill Syndra in the face of Xin Zhao, Syndra, and Kai'Sa who could fly over if she had the chance, turning an almost certain death into a zero-for-three situation."

"End the laning phase once, end the game once." Rita concluded: "G2 didn't have a real front-line hero in this game, and their endurance was only a little bit of the passive of the old man. After Tian Ge got a big enough advantage, G2 was completely unable to stop the side POKE."

"We clocked in at the speed of 17 minutes." Wang Duoduo continued, "EDG's economic curve has been rising all the way, with several sharp increases during the period. There is no doubt who will be the MVP. Every successful action of EDG is directly related to Brother Tian."

Some are happy and some are sad.

Even though the three LPL commentators had serious faces and tried to speak from a relatively neutral perspective to avoid making metaphysical statements like toxic milk, one could still hear the excitement hidden in their voices.

the other side.

The European and American commentators can no longer contain their emotions.

We just watched FNC being beaten to a pulp by EDG last week, and this week we saw G2 repeat the same mistake. Even though they could foresee the process and the result, the European and American commentators were very upset.

“This is a massacre!”

"Tian is killing the game!"

Drakos howled in a series of voices: "From the moment Tian appeared on the field, G2 was doomed to fail. What's more terrifying is that every step was planned by Tian, ​​and everyone else was groping in the fog without knowing what was going on. Tian was almost attacking from a God's perspective!"

"Compared to RNG's 'UZI's three-step plan', I think EDG's three-step plan with Tian as the core is more terrifying." Quickshot was relatively calm and pointed out the key: "Last year, EDG's playing style was to focus all team resources on Tian, ​​give up the bottom lane confrontation, and let the jungler and mid laner provide meticulous help to Tian."

"This year, EDG's play is even more sophisticated. They can not only provide Tian with a carry environment, but also use Tian's personal ability to create breakthrough opportunities for other lanes."

There are no top-level top laners in Europe and the United States.

Not only is the old Wood's position in North America unshakable, even Huni, who can only be regarded as a first-line goalkeeper, bullies the top laners in Europe and North America with ease. His statistics and on-field performance are so gorgeous that even the SKT team was deceived.

This leads to European and American teams not having enough awareness of the battlefield influence of top laners.

Without a high level of awareness, it is naturally impossible to come up with a strategy to defend against the top-level top laner. What's more, Ye Tian's strength is far from being measured by the word "top", but it requires one more level above the top.

Last year, the top laner tended to be an all-around player.

If you want to play in the lane, you can play in the lane. If you want to split push, you can split push. After taking into account both playing in the lane and split pushing, you can also play an unparalleled role in frontal team battles.

That's right.

I'm talking about Qing Gangying.

The single-line pulling is extremely strong, and in the later stage, one kick can reach over a thousand. Bringing Galio into the field to cut off the crispy targets is simply unstoppable.

With the addition of two lower-level substitutes, Master Yi and Fiora, as well as the deterrence of heroes like Jayce, Kled, Gangplank and other heroes combined with lane-swapping tactics, Ye Tian created a terrifying six-pointed star record at last year's World Finals. There have been no predecessors like him, and it is unlikely that there will be successors in the future.

Can the designer tolerate this?

Of course not.

Equipment that disrupts the balance of the game will be nerfed.

Heroes that disrupt the balance of the game will be nerfed.

Players who disrupt the balance of the game will naturally not escape this blow.

From the perspective of most people, the designer's changes this year are quite clever. By calculating the ban position restrictions, almost all top laners are confined to the range of development and team fighting, and Ye Tian was quietly reduced from Spider-Man to a human stick.

More importantly, during this process, the designer did not reveal any intention to target Ye Tian specifically, and even strengthened the heroes that Ye Tian was good at, leaving fans of Ye Tian and EDG unable to even complain.

what?
Bad environment?

We are all in this environment and are treated equally. If you can't adapt, you just say the environment is bad. Why not customize an environment specifically for you?

A series of changes have been made.

Riot Games and European and American teams generally feel that Ye Tian’s situation last year, where he treated the World Championship as a single player, will not happen again.

European and American commentary is naturally no exception.

Never imagined.

Ye Tian, ​​who seemed to be cut into a human stick, was not only able to maneuver in the group stage, but also first pierced through FNC and then opened the back door of G2 in the quarterfinals.

Is this a human stick? It must be the magic needle that stabilizes the sea!
In the match against EDG, Akali, Caitlyn and Galio's system itself occupied two must-ban positions. Irelia and Aatrox were also difficult for G2 to place. After this game, there was another unsolvable Jayce... Not to mention G2, the entire European and American audience was numb.

[Now, this is the worlds experience I’m familiar with. The match against RNG was unreal.]

[Tian's output exploded in every wave of battle. Fuck, he is a beast! ]

[G2 was bullied worse than I was in middle school]

G2 = Gold 2

[We clearly saw The shy using Jayce, so why did we put Tian’s Jayce in the semifinals? If even The shy can use it, isn’t it foreseeable that Tian will use it better? ]

[Forget about Jayce, don’t dwell on the heroes. The only way G2 can fight EDG is to ban Tian]

Inside the G2 lounge.

From coaches to players to a series of logistical members, everyone was dejected.

No one can withstand the pressure from Ye Tian. Not Wunder, who is more than 60 knives ahead of Letme per game, nor the former European King of Magic Perkz. Even calling jungler Jankos over won’t work.

It is foreseeable that in the next games, EDG will continue to use this method to squeeze G2's response space to the extreme, and all the heroes that G2 players are good at will not be able to cope with EDG's offensive.

Tank heroes can't withstand the pressure from Jayce.

If an offensive hero loses, the line will be directly exploded. The probability of winning... I'm afraid it's not even 0.1%.

Even though G2 is known as the optimistic family in Europe, no one can be happy at this time.

Especially Wunder in the top lane position.

When facing Letme, Wunder once thought that he had the world's top strength.

——Being able to suppress the top laner who is known for "equality for all", and considering that Letme can withstand The shy and The shy and Ye Tian are the two things whose strength is closest, Wunder even imagined the scene of fighting with Ye Tian in the semi-finals.

Fantasizing for a week.

Wunder fell from mid-air to the bottom of the valley with a bang, and all five limbs were broken into pieces.

What made Wunder even more unbearable was that the pressure from Ye Tian was not only reflected on him alone, but also the bottom lane, middle lane, and jungle area were all deformed under this heavy pressure.

In other words, from the moment Wunder gave up his Death Flash, he began to drag down the entire G2 team, and Wunder's self-esteem as a professional player fell to the ground.

"Jace can't let go."

"You can't let it go."

G2 coach GrabbZ spoke with difficulty: "In the next game, we will be on the blue side. We will ban Akali, Caitlyn, and Jayce. We will directly grab the swinging Irelia on the first floor. This way, we can at least ensure that the laning phase will not collapse."

"In that case, Urgot and Galio will be released, and we won't even be able to take the Aatrox. The frontal team battle will be very difficult to deal with." Mid laner Perkz thought about the follow-up.

"Don't fight head-on, keep picking Kaisa." GrabbZ made the arrangement: "If you get Kaisa and Tam, you can replicate EDG's support play and let Irelia go to the side lanes. Perkz, the whole team's hope is on you, you must work hard!"

“…Okay!” Perkz took a deep breath.

The previous generation of Dharma King was also a Dharma King.

He still has the arrogance of being the No. 1 mid laner in Europe.

G2 has come to this point, and an explosion in the mid lane is not enough to save the team. Perkz feels that all the passion he had when he just debuted has returned to him, and he is determined to lead the team to beat EDG... at least in one game, right?

"I'll try not to worry about the top lane, and focus on helping the middle and bottom lanes."

Jungler Jankos pondered: "With the split push combination of Irelia + Kai'Sa, as long as we can gain advantages in the middle and bottom lanes, we can offset Tian's role in the mid-game. Tian will have to face more of us when he goes to split push, and he will be pulled back by our split push when he fights head-on."

"No problem, I will definitely hold him back!" Wunder gritted his teeth.

To this sentence.

The rest of G2 were clearly skeptical.

But the battle is imminent, and even if G2 does not believe in Wunder, they can't think of any other plan. They can only pin their hopes on two low-probability events: Perkz can carry the game and Wunder can withstand Ye Tian's pressure.

Ten minutes later.

The two teams took the stage again.

G2 came to the blue side with a win rate of nearly 2% in the world championship version, which gave European and American audiences a little confidence and made them look forward to G's performance in choosing the advantageous side.

In the first round of bans, G2 banned Akali, Policewoman, and Jayce.

EDG still uses the same old three, holding down Nightmare, Galio, and Taliyah.

When Irelia appeared in G2's first position and it was EDG's turn to make a choice, the commentators on the LPL side all stared at the upper left corner of the screen.

"Aatrox, Urgot, Galio, Xayah and Rakan are all here."

“I don’t know what EDG will choose.”

Ze Yuan read the heroes and made an analysis: "I personally feel that we can bring out Urgot and Aatrox, and let G2 pick Galio. We have seen the game between EDG and FNC before. After FNC picked Galio, they could only use Irelia and Tian Ge's Urgot to fight against disadvantageous laning. In that game, they were directly beaten by Tian Ge's Urgot, and even formed a de facto 1v4 near the second tower in the bottom lane."

"It's Urgot + Aatrox." Rita's eyes lit up: "G2's second and third floors respectively chose Tam and Kai'Sa, which played a certain role in split pushing. EDG's third floor got Xayah. From the group stage to now, Xayah's appearance rate is 44.2%, and the win rate is just 50%. She is the last dignity of the attack speed and crit AD."

The second round of banning.

G2 gave it to Luo and Gragas.

EDG gave Olaf and Xin Zhao.

On the fourth floor, EDG picked first and took out Thresh, a skill that all M-named supports are very good at. Although he was countered a little by Tam during the laning phase, his protection ability and team battle functionality were quite sufficient.

On the fourth and fifth floors, G2 first picked Sion, who was destined to be the top laner. After much deliberation, they were forced to pick up Shen, who was the jungler.

EDG added Lee Sin on the last floor, and the lineups of both teams were confirmed.

Blue side: G2
Red square: EDG
Top lane: Sion vs Aatrox
Jungle: Shen vs Lee Sin
Mid: Irelia vs Urgot

AD: Kai'Sa vs. Kasumi

Support: Tam vs. Thresh
Irelia can go to the side lane to engage the enemy, Kaisa and Tam can provide support, Sion's passive resurrection and Tam'tun can defend the tower very well. Overall, G2 has indeed developed a set of tactics that are effective in theory.

In contrast, EDG's character selection is relatively messy, with no particularly good coordination points. The only advantage is that Lee Sin is more capable of driving the rhythm, Urgot and Xayah are more powerful in the mid-term, and head-on confrontations and resource team battles are very easy to fight. If the attributes of the little dragon are not biased towards combat, but a water dragon or even an almost useless wind dragon, it will be very disadvantageous to EDG.

The countdown passed by second by second.

The camera moved forward from the live audience seats, gradually becoming level with the big screen, and then seamlessly switched to the Summoner's Rift.

The director was very knowledgeable in switching perspectives.

I saw a flame mark appearing on the wall of the river bend... It looked like a burning flame! (End of this chapter)
