Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"Let's congratulate EDG for winning the first game!"

"Congratulations!"

Ze Yuan, Jide, and Wang Duoduo spoke one after another.

"This game can be said to be the most exciting one in this year's World Championship, at least the most exciting one so far."

Ze Yuan was halfway through his speech when he realized something was wrong and quickly made a patch: "EDG still showed their breathtaking offensive rhythm - the bottom lane got the strongest push line combination, the middle lane used Sion as a portal, and Tian Ge got a very suitable Irelia for laning. Any other team facing EDG's lineup would find it difficult to last more than 20 minutes, but IG managed to hold on!"

what?
Was IG able to hold on because they killed three wind dragons in a row?

Correct.

There is indeed a reason for the Three Wind Dragons.

But if it were any other team, even KT, which is ranked above IG, they might not be able to withstand EDG's offensive in this kind of match.

As for RNG...is there any point in mentioning that stinky quarterfinal?

How about we first defeat G2, the third seed of Europe, who was beaten to a full Linglong Tower by EDG?
"IG did their best and made up for the early disadvantage little by little through teamwork. It is no exaggeration to say that before the team fight started at 24 minutes, IG seemed to be lagging behind in economy, but their actual chances of winning were higher than EDG's."

"did not expect……"

I remember sighing from IG's perspective: "I can only say that in such a crucial event, personal ability, teamwork and tactical reserves are all indispensable. IG obtained Fiora, Kaisa and Shen through BP, limiting Tian Ge's split push, while EDG relied on Tian Ge to attract firepower and created the most perfect environment for others to perform."

"There is another terrifying thing that comes with careful consideration." Wang Duoduo added: "IG's support in this game is Lao Niu, who can hold up a little. If it is a soft support that prefers laning, Sion can destroy IG in the first drive. In the absence of a ban position to deal with Taliyah and Sion, IG must consider how to deal with this combination."

Speaking objectively, it is not difficult to avoid the RRR combination of Taliyah + Sion.

Take the wave when IG was attacked as an example. As long as they were prepared in advance, JackeyLove didn't stand in front, and Rookie and Ning moved sideways, Sion wouldn't be able to hit anything.

But please note that not all heroes have displacement capabilities.

IG's next Ban/Pick will become more passive due to this factor.

Especially since EDG had the second and fourth game side selections, they remained in the same position in the second game, further compressing IG's room for adjustment.

In the first game, IG took the initiative to choose the red side, thinking that they could create a surprise attack, but it ended up backfiring and the situation became extremely embarrassing.

"The bottom lane is too weak, Kaisa + Agni really can't win."

Baolan was frustrated for the whole game, and when he returned to the backstage, he raised his opinion: "After banning the policewoman, they still have Sivir, so why not just ban the big head... Jack, Jack, what do you say?"

"No problem bro." JackeyLove didn't care too much.

Compared with Iboy, who is often highly regarded by EDG, JackeyLove is a left-to-himself character in IG.

After all, the IG team has tried many times and knows that putting the carry pressure on JackeyLove, a newcomer, is likely to fail. On the contrary, using JackeyLove as an optional accessory is likely to produce unexpected surprises. Even JackeyLove himself is very clear about this.

Therefore, JackeyLove's mentality emphasizes peace.

It doesn’t matter how strong the opponent’s hero is, just hold on for as long as you can. Once the first tower is gone, you will naturally be relieved.

“You can try adjusting it.”

"Let Caitlyn out. EDG has Caitlyn Morgana, so we should be able to get Xayah and Rakan."

Head coach Kim Jeong-soo thought for a moment and said, "The shy played better than I thought. Without the restrictions of Kai'Sa + Shen, there will be no problem with the single line. In this case, we should think more about team battles. Xayah and Rakan will not be completely unplayable in the laning phase like Kai'Sa and Lao Niu. They can counter the forced opening system."

"Give me a strong hero, too." Ning spread his hands and said, "Always let me pick a functional jungler, like Camille, who can't even grow well. Am I weaker than him?"

Rookie translated Ning's words.

I thought about it.

He added his own opinion: "I think we can also use lane heroes in the middle lane. As long as we play well in the lane, we can drag EDG into our own rhythm. It's hard to defend against passive defense all the time."

"Yes, fight against EDG!" The shy was full of fighting spirit and was not afraid at all because his opponent was Ye Tian.

IG has been attacking relentlessly since the beginning of the spring season. No matter what kind of opponent they face or what kind of adversity they face, they always rush forward recklessly.

Lost.

Defeated.

But never afraid.

Entering the world championship version, the lane rights of individual players have been greatly improved. IG has two top players, Rookie and The shy, and even the galaxy battleship KT can only barely hold on for one round.

Facing EDG, a team that has never defeated the full IG in a game above BO3, what is there to be afraid of?
EDG invites Tongtian to represent them?
simple.

I, Jiang Chenglu, will stand up to him!

"All right!"

Jin Jingzhu respected the opinions of his teammates: "Since everyone says so, let's play against EDG! EDG has strong offensive capabilities, we will never work overtime, and IG is not a pushover either!"

IG backstage shouted that they were ready to fight for their lives.

The EDG backstage was full of joy and peace.

"Brother Tian is awesome!"

"The shy wave in the top lane was so cool, he hit the tower and reset his basic attack to burst. I couldn't even dream of this move before I saw it."

Ray attentively brought Ye Tian the purified water that he usually drank, and half-bent down to blow on it.

Mao Kai looked sideways at the side.

I feel that my main responsibilities as a coach have been taken away by the substitute.

"Really cool, Fiora has R and flash."

Karsa recalled it and was still full of praise: "The most amazing thing is Brother Tian's design. I finally understand why you made almost no mistakes last year and beat three consecutive 3-0s. Brother Tian planned every step, and it was difficult to make mistakes!"

The outside world believes that EDG makes fewer mistakes because the top laner bears most of the pressure, allowing the double C, jungler, and support to perform without fear of any consequences and naturally perform freely.

Karsa originally thought so too.

It was not until he played with Ye Tian that Karsa realized that every step taken by the EDG players was on the predetermined route. Other teams were doing reading comprehension, while EDG was doing fill-in-the-blank questions with clear answers!

In addition, Karsa also felt that playing games with Ye Tian made his mind clearer and his state more stable than before. This should be the positive effect obtained after unloading the burden of worrying about gains and losses.

"You're scolding me, right?"

Iboy's face turned black as he recalled the scene of being caught and killed.

“No, no, no!” Karsa said repeatedly: “That wasn’t a mistake. You were helping us to draw fire. No one can defend against Shen’s E, flash, and R. Only you can resist the skills and suffer the least loss.”

"If you are stupid, then you are stupid. I am not afraid to admit it." Iboy denied Karsa's statement: "I will never give IG a chance in the future. I will sell Tian Ye as soon as I see them!"

“????” Meiko was confused.

"Yes, sell what needs to be sold, learn from me." The factory manager played a joke about how he never wiped out the team. "Mingkai, don't lead the kids astray." Ye Tian brought the topic back on track: "In the next game, we don't need to make too many adjustments to the overall Ban/Pick. Let Xiao Zhao and Tian Ye pick the push heroes, let Li Can stabilize the middle lane, and let Hao Xuan look for opportunities depending on the situation."

Iboy, Meiko and Karsa agreed readily.

Scout had a conflicted look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What do you think, Lican?"

Ye Tian saw through it: "I can't cover everything by myself. You guys often added details before. If you find any problems, you don't have to hide them. Just say it directly."

"No, no, it's not a problem." Scout shook his head vigorously: "It's just... I just want to have a good fight with Rookie. I'm confident that I can beat him."

As soon as Scout debuted, he suppressed Rookie, who is also a top mid laner.

If he hadn't been so sleepwalking in the crucial competition that he had to call in Pawn to save the day, the title of junior brother would even have directly surpassed that of Allah, Buddha and Wu Tian.

At last year's World Championship, Scout faced a group of LCK players, including the legendary senior Faker. He lacked experience and confidence, and deeply understood that learning by mixing with the team leader is the art of mixing with the team leader, and it is a blessing to avoid a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

this year.

Scout is in a mess in the group stage.

The quarterfinals are in chaos.

The semi-finals continue.

After winning consecutive games all the way to the finals, facing an old opponent that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, Scout felt a little unwilling to give up.

As we all know, excluding the special case of Ye Tian, ​​the mid laner who sits in the center, coordinates with the jungler, and radiates the entire field is the most valuable position in the entire League of Legends. Those who stand out in this position are the most talented players.

Scout is the most talented one among this group of players. Because he often asked Ye Tian to switch to the mid lane for help, he was mocked by the outside world for being the fifth-oldest champion for a year. His evaluation was only higher than Mouse, who had a 0% win rate, and his status was not even as good as Meiko, the support. Naturally, he had a lot of emotions accumulated in his heart.

If the opponent is an LCK veteran or the European King of Magic, Scout can only suppress his emotions. After all, compared with being disgraced, being called a loser is relatively easier to accept.

Opposite him was Rookie, and Scout's lonely little heart began to get restless.

"What do you think, manager?"

Ye Tian left the decision to Abu.

"Win this game and then you can play him." Abu thought about it and decided to give Scout a chance: "Try to win two games first and beat IG's momentum. When these reckless guys are in good shape, they can turn any disadvantage around."

"Yes, let's talk about it when the advantage is big enough." Maokai shared the same opinion as Abu.

From Abu and Maokai's perspective, they want everyone to revolve around Ye Tian and win the championship in the most stable way, avoiding all possible risks.

As for who gets the MVP, who steals the limelight, and who is treated as a pendant, it doesn’t matter at all.

But Scout has been in EDG since his official debut, and has carried the game more than once in the regular season. EDG’s current results are due to Scout’s hard work, even if he has contributed to it.

It was not logical for both Abu and Maokai to refuse this request.

Anyway, there has never been a comeback from 2-0 down in the World Championships, so as long as we can get three match points, it’s no problem for Scout to prove himself.

"it is good!"

Scout is ready to go and full of anticipation.

The halftime passed second by second in the audience's anticipation, and the camera returned to the scene.

This time, the director once again gave close-ups to several well-known figures. In addition to the entertainment stars and ancient retired celebrities who have served as guests, there is also an AD with a 100% win rate wearing a green down jacket.

As luck would have it, the AD with a 100% win rate was stuffing a hot dog into his mouth. The scene was quite dramatic, and someone immediately took a screenshot and posted it online, and it became a classic scene.

"Dear summoners, welcome back!"

"We will still be at the Incheon Munhak Gymnasium to bring you the final battle of this year's global finals."

Ze Yuan went straight to the point: "EDG took the initiative to choose the blue side in the second game. The two sides did not change sides or players. We discussed this in the summary of the last game. IG's lineup and performance were good enough. The main reason for losing to EDG was tactical reserves."

"It's a battle between gods, and EDG led by Tian Ge is better." Wang Duoduo continued: "But through the first game we can see that the current IG is definitely capable of fighting EDG. Although it is currently trailing 0-1, I think the final outcome is still unknown."

"EDG first banned a LeBron, targeting Rookie's signature hero." Remember to read out the processing: "IG thought about the reasons for the loss in the first game and found a point - Galio still needs to be banned."

In the second ban, EDG gave it to Jayce and IG gave it to Akali.

In the third ban, EDG pressed Luo again.

? ? !

Behind the IG players, head coach Kim Jeong-soo looked extremely ugly.

No?

What does EDG think?

There is a combination of Caitlyn + Morgana, which is a natural counter to Xayah and Rakan. Iboy and Meiko have used it more than once and achieved very good results in actual combat. With such prerequisites, why does EDG focus on Rakan?
"IG hesitated again!"

"Ye Tian, ​​this move of yours really hit their weak spot!"

Maokai has always been skeptical about Ban Luo.

The "half belief" here is based on the value of each of Ye Tian's proven points.

After all, from every angle, Luo should not be ranked third in priority in this version where Irelia and Aatrox are in power and Sion and Urgot are extremely rogue.

But it is not false that IG hesitated twice in a row, at least it shows that they care about Luo being banned.

"IG gave the third ban to Irelia. It seems that they don't want The Shy to continue to use passive heroes like Fiora. Can EDG consider taking Galio? Okay! Galio has been locked down on the first floor!"

"With Galio, Tiange's side lane split push and EDG's frontal charge are more threatening. Let's see how IG will respond."

Ze Yuan made a brief analysis: "IG's first two picks were Urgot and Lucian. EDG got Galio, which is not so compatible with Aatrox because Aatrox cannot maximize Galio's role. In addition, Aatrox is not good at beating Urgot. EDG should consider other top lane heroes."

"IG did a good job of limiting the opponent. Lucian can be placed in the middle lane to suppress Galio, or in the bottom lane to fight against him." Remember to continue: "IG's move can ensure the early-stage combat power and avoid wasting the little dragon and the Rift Herald. The luck of brushing three wind dragons in a row is not available in every game."

"EDG got Prince + Policewoman on the second and third floors, completing the charge system and securing the bottom lane rights."

"IG pulled out Gragas on the third floor, which not only allowed them to initiate a team fight, but also used their ultimate to break up EDG's formation, making it difficult for the EDG members who rushed in to take care of both ends."

The second round of banning.

EDG gave Xayah and Kaisa, with the idea of ​​forcing Lucian to go to the bottom lane.

IG gave it to Thresh and Fiora to prepare for any possible events.

On the fourth floor, IG chose Varus first.

From the laning perspective, Varus can compete with Miss Piltover. From the team fighting perspective, Varus's two items of Ruined King + Sheepstick have good combat power, which is very suitable for fast-paced team confrontations such as IG and EDG.

EDG's fourth and fifth floors respectively got Braum and a hero no one expected... Weapon Master! (End of this chapter)
