Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

When the giant red crystal shattered, all the little IG fans felt a trance.

IG clearly had the absolute initiative on the field. As long as they made one more effort, they could tie the score and move on to the most familiar BO3 match with the highest winning rate.

In the end, they were defeated by EDG?

Player seats.

Rookie's expression gradually turned ugly.

As the dean-level role of the small IG, Rookie was held back by his teammates in his youngest years. He finally waited until The shy joined and JackeyLove reached the age to debut. He wanted to show his skills, but was defeated twice in a row by the RNG team. The LPL championship throne was within reach, but out of reach.

Entering the World Championship, RNG stumbled and was eliminated by G2, which was originally the best chance for IG.

——The small IG has The shy, a top laner who can rely on the hero advantage to hold off Ye Tian in the early stages of the game. As long as the mid and jungle break through fast enough and the bottom lane stabilizes the situation, it is not impossible to defeat EDG.

Unthinkable.

In the second game, IG had the right time, place and people. In a team battle that was enough to determine the victory, the situation was reversed by the Master Yi single-handedly.

This carefully designed system of backhand group control + targeted instant kill + Urgot's group fear is no different from a joke in front of the [Counterattack Storm] that comes every three seconds with the Extraction Weapon.

Ning stared at the failure interface in a daze, feeling a surge of regret in his heart - if he had bought all AP equipment and bet everything in the early and middle stages, would the situation be different from what it is now?

"Ah Yigu..."

"The superior hero couldn't win, it was such a failure."

The shy smile was forced.

As the top laner whose strength is closest to Ye Tian, ​​The shy feels that using Urgot, who can fully restrain Master Yi, is enough to gain an advantage and help his teammates win.

But The shy fell into deep self-blame after being forced to dodge once due to a level limit and another time due to not being able to trigger a kill with only two points of health.

In contrast.

The EDG players on the other side of the stage cheered, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

"Brother Tian's Extraction weapon is too powerful. After releasing one E, he immediately uses the next E. IG can't fight or not fight." Iboy thought of the scene in the team battle and was very happy: "Before the team fight, they thought they had an advantage. They didn't even try to pull the opponent back. They just wanted to fight as soon as they came up. It made me laugh!"

"Don't be careless." Meiko had a clearer understanding: "This game was all thanks to IG's ignorance. The next game won't be so easy."

The small IG had a huge advantage in the early stages.

If they had known earlier that Ye Tian had the skill of Snatching Essence, IG would have fought the team slowly by pulling the opponent and allocated most of the control to restrict Ye Tian, ​​and the chance of winning or losing would have been 50-50.

In other words, for EDG, this ultimate reversal, like the Taliyah + Sion wall-drive-wall-break routine, relies heavily on unexpected cognitive advantages and is difficult to replicate in actual combat.

Judging from the first two games, although EDG still won quickly, the winning process was much more tortuous.

Even though the bottom lane only considered laning suppression and tower demolition, and did not need to worry about self-protection, output, and harvesting, which are factors that a regular lineup must have, it still did not achieve the same results as before. It even fell into a disadvantage at one point and almost became a drag.

Even though Meiko didn't think that IG would come back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-0, he still had to pour a bucket of cold water on his partner.

"I must get C in the next game!"

Scout is full of confidence.

This year, Rookie has been in the limelight, winning the MVP of both the Spring and Summer Seasons in the same year, becoming the first player in LPL history to receive this honor.

In this regard.

There is nothing to say about the other mid laners.

Scout was quite dissatisfied.

Scout debuted as a rookie in 16 and surpassed Rookie in 17. Even though he is at a disadvantage this year, the difference is only % to %.

Considering the influence of his teammates, Scout does not think that his strength is inferior to Rookie.

In this game, Scout's performance in the second fire dragon group seemed mediocre at first glance, but in fact he used a key control to help Ye Tian maintain a seamless skill connection, which was far better than Rookie's Lucian. In addition to the promise he got from Abu before, Scout has already started dreaming of beating Rookie in the third game and making the audience around the world know him again.

"Two to zero, three championship points!"

"Congratulations EDG!"

Ze Yuan's voice came from a distance: "For Brother Tian, ​​the weapon master who created the Scythe of the Essence, I can only describe it in four words - hearty and exhilarating. It really is hearty and exhilarating!"

"In the previous week, we all thought that the finals would be a very tense battle, because the top lane environment this year is completely different from the past. The designers basically abolished the option of split pushing. When other teams have no choice, they often let the mid laner take on the responsibility of split pushing." Remember to take a deep breath: "But after playing these two games, we once again realized that Tian Ge is still the same Tiandai."

"Of course, IG team should not be discouraged."

"Among all the teams that played against the fully-formed EDG, no team was better than IG at that time. Compared with other teams that were crushed one-sidedly, IG once saw the dawn of victory; for IG, as long as they can play their own style, they may not have no chance of winning."

"For IG, there is still one last chance. If they lose one more game, they will miss the championship." Wang Duoduo concluded: "I hope they can make adjustments and show their style in this Cloud Peak Finals!"

[When I met Brother Tian, ​​even the little IG couldn't move forward]

[The shy is already the ceiling of the top lane, but there is nothing we can do, Tian Ge is standing on the roof]

[It was my first time watching a match. I heard that EDG spent 30 million to hire a power player. I was wondering before, what kind of player is worth 30 million for playing in a world match? Now I am even more puzzled. What unit is EDG using 30 million for? How can they hire such a strong player?]

[Ray: Actually, you don’t need to practice laning or teamfighting. Just find the right team and sit in the background.]

【Mouse: You’re right】

[Mad, it’s so real]

[Brother Tian: To protect your teammates, you just need to kill all the enemies. That way, no one can hurt your teammates.]

[Scout: Senior, are you doing well in LCK? Is there any news about Eunjung? I have good news for you. I am going to win the championship again. Yes, I did it by myself. Brother Tian defeated the opponent by himself. Please help me think about which champion skin is better. I won’t say more. The third game is about to start. I will go to prepare. You should be careful not to catch a cold in the audience.]

[Killing people, but also destroying their hearts? 】

[EDG won the championship this year. Is Scout the second-best mid laner after Faker in double championships? According to his age, he can still play two more championships with Tian Ge, right? ]

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Too much]

[My junior fellow student profoundly explained that being good at playing is not as good as being good at queuing. With a dad on the top lane, you can win the championship just by fooling around.] The LPL audience had a discussion.

Audiences in LCK, LCS.EU, LCS.NA and other regions were also paying attention to the event that would decide the championship. When they saw EDG lead 2-0 under Ye Tian's leadership, even though they were unhappy, they had to admit Ye Tian's dominance on the professional stage.

"This year's World Championship is truly a pinnacle showdown!"

The roaring emperor said in a loud voice: "EDG and IG are indeed the two strongest teams in this tournament. They have brought us wonderful and pleasing battles. I hope IG can win one or two games, and it would be best if the game can be dragged into a decider. Such a top-level event is really not enough!"

"It feels difficult." Former StarCraft player Kim Dong-jun looked at the problem rationally: "For IG, there is only one key point they need to solve, and that is the player Tian. As long as Tian is not knocked down, no matter how much advantage IG has, there is no guarantee of winning."

...

“OMG!”

“This is Tian!”

CaptainFlowers, the European commentator, was full of emotion: "Once upon a time, I thought Tian, ​​an ID that compared himself to God, was too arrogant, but through game after game, Tian showed unprecedented dominance, even the immortal devil Faker has not reached such a level!"

"This year, Tian has already won his second Summoner's Cup, which is the best proof of his ID!"

...

"The biggest problem IG faces is that they don't know what the upper limit of Tian Ge is."

"Of course, I don't know what Brother Tian's upper limit is."

Shenchao analyzed on the broadcast channel: "Through this year's games, everyone can see that every time it seems that Tian Ge is restricted, Tian Ge can break this restriction, and the five reckless IG players really can't beat Tian Ge in terms of 'recklessness', especially when Tian Ge is in the back hand and has a weapon that is controlled by Coutner, he can still gain an advantage, and IG is even worse at playing."

"In the next game, IG will definitely switch to the blue side to relieve some of the ban/pick pressure - they have to deal with Taliyah + Sion and defend against the Weapon of the Reaver. Although these two routines do not necessarily need to be solved by bans, they must get heroes and lineups that can hold up."

Just as Shen Chao expected.

When the third game started, IG, which had the right to choose sides 1, 3, and 5, indeed appeared on the blue side.

"Hello, audience friends!"

"I'm a doll."

"I'm Miller."

"I'm Su Xiaoyan."

The commentators on the stage were also replaced.

"In addition to the three of us coming in, IG also changed their side selection."

Wawa took the initiative to introduce: "Through this exchange, we can see that the Ban/Pick pressure faced by IG is a little bit high. Originally, IG wanted to do something through the fifth floor counter position, but as EDG's cards were revealed one by one, IG had to choose the blue side that could respond by grabbing the ban instead."

"In the last game, Tian Ge's comeback in the Fire Dragon Group may have dealt a certain blow to the mentality of the IG players." Miller continued: "For IG, the most important thing is to keep a normal mind, put aside the previous process and score, and use all your energy to play the current game well."

"In fact, the gap between the two teams is not as big as the score shows." Su Xiaoyan said: "We didn't think that the teams that were beaten 2-0 by EDG before had a chance to turn the tables, because after they were beaten 2-0, all their positions would collapse and no one point could stand out."

"IG is different. Although they were defeated 2-0, IG actually has the upper hand if EDG's trump card is not taken into account. They are fully capable of fighting."

"Yes." Wawa agreed: "Other top laners who face Tian Ge are basically defeated in ten minutes, suffer two or three solo kills, lose the defensive tower, and then collapse all the way, dragging down the entire team; but The shy can not only hold his ground against Tian Ge, but also gain a certain degree of initiative with the hero mechanism, which is unprecedented."

All three of them said this, and they are not biased towards IG.

Most of them are just discussing the matter at hand, and a small part is emotionally inclined towards the disadvantaged party.

After all, IG is their own team that has made great contributions!
"In short, IG has a chance!"

Miller got to the point: "Let's see how IG will deal with it when they switch to the blue side... Oh, first of all, ban Master Yi. It seems that IG feels a little tricky with the weapon of extraction. I don't want to see it again."

"For teams that focus on flanking and pulling, the threat of the Extraction Weapon cannot be maximized, but IG is best at fighting." Wawa continued: "EDG's first floor is still targeting Rookie's Deceiver, there is no change here."

In the second ban, IG gave Galio and EDG gave Jayce.

The third class is very important.

"Akali and Irelia are both out there. The upper and lower limits of these two heroes are very different. Both are choices that require a lot of personal ability. The strengths displayed by ordinary players and top players are completely different."

"If IG doesn't ban, it'll be one person per team. If they ban... ouch!"

Su Xiaoyan was talking halfway when her eyes suddenly lit up: "IG did not choose to ban Irelia or Akali, but gave the ban to Miss Piltover!"

IG's intentions were very clear after banning two bottom lane heroes. It was obvious that they wanted to return to the previous rhythm of leaving the bottom lane alone and focusing on top, mid and jungle.

Without Galio and Caitlyn, the difficulty for EDG's bottom lane to break the tower will naturally increase sharply. Iboy mostly used Caitlyn in this World Championship, a hero who does not need to take any responsibility and is basically not threatened. If he suddenly switches to another one, his proficiency may not be able to keep up.

EDG banned Luo naturally.

Although this ban position was a bit confusing, after it was banned three times in a row, everyone got used to it and there was no further discussion.

"Let's see how IG's first floor is going to select players."

"Is it Irelia or Akali?"

Wawa is looking forward to it: "Both sides have players who are very confident in their own skills and dare to choose offensive heroes. I don't see any reason why they won't choose Irelia or Akali, so it must be one on each side... OK, IG will grab Irelia first. For IG, Irelia is a swing hero that can play in the middle or on the top."

"EDG got Akali, and it must be Tian Ge who will use it." Miller said confidently: "However, Tian Ge can swap lanes with Scout, and Akali can also be considered a swing position."

"The second floor is the Dark Leader Syndra!"

"EDG is acting out of character in this game, switching from defense to offense in the middle lane!"

Sindra appears.

EDG's two solo lanes were directly determined.

More importantly, compared to jack-of-all-trades heroes like Sion, Syndra's attributes and mechanisms are not suitable for going to the top lane, and there is basically no possibility of changing lanes.

Regardless of whether you can gain an advantage online, you must fight your opponent to the end.

In this regard.

Rookie seemed to be trying to avoid Scout's edge. He didn't use Irelia to fight head-on, but instead locked on a Clockwork Mage who was more inclined to development and team fighting... (End of this chapter)
