Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

The match on October 10th was very eye-catching.

First, the IG team, which swept two LCK teams and won the world runner-up last year, will face the LCK third seed DWG. The battle between The shy, who has accumulated a lot of experience, and the new generation top lane genius Nuguri is the focus of the focus.

The second game was between Red Pegasus AHQ and North American TL. TL defeated IG 3-1 in the MSI Mid-Season Championship, so it was classified as an S-level (extremely threatening in international competitions) team and had the potential to compete for the championship.

The third game is between LPL's No. 1 seed FPX and European Snakes SPY. Regardless of the qualifying situation or off-court public opinion, this game is a comeback battle that the Little Phoenix cannot afford to lose.

The fourth game between JT and GAM was seen as a "chicken fight" by the strong teams. However, JT had an upset win over FPX and the momentum of a comeback with the S2 champions TPA, which aroused the nostalgia of some old viewers.

The fifth game between GRF and HKA had no highlights. It was just a buffer for the finale between G2 and C9, leaving time for everyone to buy peanuts, melon seeds and mineral water.

Ye Tian’s attention was mainly focused on the first and third games.

Even though Nuguri's rise and fall were surprisingly fast, during his peak period he was as famous as The Shy. The match between the two represents a strong dialogue between two top laners from the golden generation and the silver generation, which is quite interesting to watch.

The rising Zeus met the old The Shy, and the confrontation was not as exciting as it is now.

Unfortunately.

Once the lineup is chosen, the game is over.

The IG jungler is LeYan, and the lineup is Akali on top, Gragas on jungle, Lucian on mid, and EZ+Titan on bottom lane.

DWG is Jayce on top, Taliyah on jungle, Kayle on mid, and Kaisa + Poppy on bottom lane.

Let’s not talk about other locations for now.

LeYan's Gragas and Baolan's Titan, these two heroes with prefix qualifiers can only be said to be understood by those who understand them.

The process was not unexpected.

LeYan's performance in the game highlighted an abstraction. After one game, many famous memes were born, such as this Gragas is obviously very bad but still overly cautious, this Gragas is obviously very bad but still doesn't produce meat, this Gragas is obviously very bad but still wants to grab something, and this Gragas obviously can't use E flash but still has flash.

IG fans missed Ning, who had problems with his training attitude and questionable brain maturity, but would never back down and not use his skills.

AHQ's loss to TL was in line with most people's predictions. Even though TL's empty ban triggered AHQ's do-or-die mode, it was unable to make up for the huge gap in strength between the two teams. The biggest highlight was the various fancy shows of Gragas used by TL jungler Xmithie, which formed a sharp contrast with LeYan's sleepwalking in the previous game.

Game three.

FPX’s comeback...lost again!

This time.

The LPL audience was completely blown away.

It is not completely incomprehensible that people make mistakes and horses stumble. There are countless strong teams that occasionally fail in the group stage. After all, for teams capable of competing for the championship, the group stage will have a certain degree of training elements.

Especially since FPX was assigned to Group B with Taipei TJ, Vietnam GAM, and Europe's third seed SPY, they were almost guaranteed to advance to the knockout stage. There were many reasons for losing the first game to TJ.

The reason why they were criticized so much before was largely because of the LPL audience's anger at FPX for only paying 3500 million and handing over Ye Tian, ​​the all-powerful representative, to the European division. It was not because they really thought that FPX might be eliminated.

result.

Can’t even beat European Snakes SPY? !
The more crucial point is that the reason why FPX lost was not because they were robbed or SPY used a desperate lineup, but because they were at a comprehensive disadvantage except for the jungler, and there was no room for salvation.

If you lose your left hand and your right hand, your front hoof and your hind hoof, what the hell is the use of a horse?

[We can’t win in laning or teamfights. We are just playing the game purely based on our personal strength. How can we win in this situation? ]

[Top laner = tribute, mid laner = idiot, AD = stupid son, support = father with stupid son, only Xiaotian who used to have the same ID as Tiange looks like a human being]

[The hero pool problem is too big. Monkey King has never used a regular mage, an unpopular mage, or an assassin in the summer season. He has always taken turns picking Gangplank and Gnarkainen in the top lane. If he is targeted, he will be gone. If the hero pool problem is not solved, even if he can qualify from the group stage, he will not be able to beat strong teams.]

【You can never trust Doinb】

[FPX is the weakest No. 1 seed in LPL history, no controversy, right? ]

[Really? Even if EDG lost 0-3 in the first round, they would not lose to the provincial team.]

[Fortunately, FPX didn’t spend 50 or 60 million to invite Tian Ge over. If FPX had paid more, they would have really bought Tian Ge’s three consecutive championships.]

[Don’t tell me, I really want to kowtow to the person who bid for FPX]

The pace in the forum is extremely exciting.

JT and GAM start the game?
Who is watching?
It’s not as interesting as Tieba.

The guys in there are all talented and speak nicely. I love being in Tieba!

As it turned out, JT and GAM did put up a fun fight, especially when GAM selected mid laner Kled and jungler Nightmare, and performed six consecutive operations at the same position, flying as soon as they saw someone regardless of whether they had a chance of winning or not, which made the audience post comments with similar scenes such as [Izanami] and [Dormammu, I'm here to negotiate terms with you].

"Dear summoners, welcome back!"

"The last game of the day is about to start, G2 vs. C9!"

Two unexpected figures appeared in the official live broadcast room.

——Wawa, Miller.

Wawa and Miller have average comprehension abilities, and their professionalism and neutrality cannot compare to the new generation of commentators. They are also criticized for their habitual "no loss".

But it is undeniable that the two have first-class ability to create an atmosphere, and have accumulated a lot of audience favor through their seniority. They are the leaders among commentators and are usually only responsible for the most popular LPL teams.

European teams like G2 are often used as training ground for commentators who are new to the LPL or on the fringe. The LPL official promoted the combination of Wawa and Miller, which shows that they are too disappointed with FPX and IG and are looking forward to the performance of G2, the 'fourth seed of the LPL'.

In any case, Ye Tian is a player from the LPL region. It seems difficult for LPL clubs to achieve results, so it is acceptable to use LPL players as the focus of publicity.

As for these abandoned clubs, are they dissatisfied?

no way.

We can only blame them for not living up to expectations.

"I received two pre-match messages. G2 replaced Able with Perkz, and C9 replaced the starting jungler Svenskeren with substitute Blaber."

Wawa turned around and asked, "What do you think of these two pieces of news?"

"I really didn't expect it." Miller boasted for a while: "In this World Championship, G2 is definitely the most difficult team to play against. Maybe they are not that difficult to play against, but they spent million euros to hire Tian Ge... This price is a bit exaggerated. Not to mention e-sports, even in the football and basketball industries, there are not many people who can get million euros."

"Brother Tian has pushed the value of e-sports players up to a new level. It should be impossible for anyone to surpass it."

"Speaking of substitutions, Svenskeren is the No. 9 jungler in North America, and I'm looking forward to seeing him compete with Jankos, the No. 2 jungler in Europe. Replacing him with Blaber probably means there's some special tactics to be used - for C, if they want to qualify in Group A, they have to go all out." Group A includes two strong teams, G and GRF.

A free bonus HKA.

For C9, which ranks third in hard power, this distribution is definitely not good news.

HKA does not have the ability to score points against strong teams, which reduces the variables to the greatest extent. If C9 does not want to be in the same boat with HKA, it must show its cards and try to take down G2 and GRF.

"That's it."

Wawa nodded: "G2's style changed yesterday. From the data of the summer season, G2 was the team with the most kills in the first fifteen minutes. But in the game against GRF yesterday, G2 came up with a very Renaissance development lineup, which was very different from their previous play style."

"It should be the change brought by Tiange." Miller insisted on focusing on the key point: "We all say that Tiange has strong offensive ability, but in fact, Tiange is stronger in tolerance. As long as Tiange develops, other positions can play no matter how big the disadvantage is. G2 can naturally use some heroes that they don't dare to use normally."

"The other positions of G2 were very patient and kept fighting." Wawa recalled: "For example, Caps's Clockwork was provocative in front of Irelia and didn't care about being caught and killed. In this way, G2's opponents can't just consider the few offensive heroes they are good at, but also have to guard against the team battle system. Two ban positions may not be able to solve it."

"Aren't there five ban positions?" Miller said.

"With Brother Youtian here, how dare you not give the first three ban positions to the top laner?" Wawa asked back with a smile.

"Uh... I really don't dare." Miller brought the topic back to the substitution: "Able was UZI's substitute before. He played well in G2 this year. He and Perkz have been taking turns to play, so G2's substitution is a regular one to let everyone get familiar with the rhythm of the World Championship."

"Here's a little easter egg." Wawa looked at the banner that the director switched to: "Perkz once said in an interview that he likes Rookie very much and wants to have a love dinner with Rookie."

"That depends on whether Xiaoyu agrees or not." Miller talked about interesting things: "Speaking of the game, G2 seems to have lost a lot in Europe, but except for the loss to FNC, the others were just nonsense, such as playing top lane Garen and top lane Karma. The funniest thing is that they have a first-person perspective. After A-P selected Garen, he looked at the skills first - he didn't know what Garen's W skill was, and then FNC was dissatisfied and developed Garen + Cat, which also led the trend of the times."

"I remember that in that game, the audience raised their cards to choose heroes. They picked the heroes they saw." Wawa said, and his voice became serious: "Okay, let's officially enter the game. Let's take a look at the Ban/Pick processing of both sides!"

Compared to other regions.

The EU and NA teams understand each other very well.

On the one hand, the delay caused by physical distance cannot be resolved, which results in professional players from Europe and North America being unable to go to the Korean server for training. They can only fight together on the European server. They often meet in daily Rank and always play training games together.

On the other hand, there are only a few strong teams in Europe and North America.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the Spring Split even started, the teams in the World Championship basically knew who would be participating. They studied their opponents from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and there were no blind spots at all!
therefore.

Ban/Pick speed is amazingly fast.

The lineups of both teams were determined almost without any pause.

Blue side: G2
Red side: C9
Top lane: Crocodile vs Sword Demon
Jungle: Qiyana vs. Spider
Mid: Zoe vs Tristana
AD: Xia vs. Cassiopeia
Support: Rakan vs Titan
"G2's output is very high, but the AD and AP are not so balanced, and they are more like a kitchen knife team."

Miller explained the matter objectively: "Zoe is known as a hero who can win laning without having to fight hard in teamfights. She is very strong in laning and is also very good at drawing prizes in dragon teamfights. The problem is that we often see a situation where Zoe clearly steals the advantage of numbers first, but cannot win the subsequent 5v4 teamfight. The reason is that Zoe's skills cannot hit the frontal team, and her teammates think there is a mid-laner, but there is not, which creates an illusion."

"It depends on how Tian Ge and G2's bottom lane perform." Wawa compared heroes: "Xayah and Rakan have some advantages against Cassiopeia + Titan. Unless the position is very suitable and Cassiopeia can connect with W's Earth Bind, Titan's hook will be ineffective; in team battles, Cassiopeia's Earth Bind has a relatively large restriction on Tian Ge, and Tristana's R and Titan's RQ can also counterattack. It feels that G2 is not very suitable for frontal team battles."

"It's best to fight on your own." Miller found a suitable adjective: "C9 likes 5v5 big groups, G2 likes the kind of scattered groups that let Tiange fight two or three on the side and have a leading number of people in the front."

【Let' go G2！ 】

【Let' go G2！ 】

【Let' go G2！ 】

When the camera turned to Summoner's Rift, the cheers from the home team echoed in the stadium.

Information about ten heroes appeared on both sides of the screen.

The summoner skills of Crocodile and Sword Demon are Flash + Teleport, and the runes they all chose Conqueror. The difference is in the starting equipment. Ye Tian has Doran's Blade, and C9 top laner Licorice has Doran's Shield.

The jungler uses flash + punishment, and the rune carries electric shock.

Caps' Zoe used Flash + Ignite + Electrocute, while the opponent's Tristana used Flash + Ignite + Power Attack. It can be seen that both sides are unwilling to be outdone.

Xayah has Flash + Heal and her rune is Lethal Tempo, while Cassiopeia has Flash + Teleport and her rune is Phase Rush, which means C9 has an extra support skill and there is a possibility that Cassiopeia will get the upper hand in fights in other positions.

Both Luo and Titan have Flash + Ignite, and their runes include Guardian and Aftershock respectively.

Level 1 calm sea.

G2 and C9 chose a peaceful start without any regard for the children, and did not take the priest's teachings to heart at all.

"Zoe is actually at a disadvantage against Tristana, and usually chooses Flash + Weakness to prevent being killed. Caps's choice of Flash + Ignite shows that he is very confident in his own strength, and it also increases the strength of the mid and jungle confrontation."

"On the contrary, the skills that Tian Ge brought are more conservative. I thought Tian Ge would bring Ignite and play it to the extreme."

Wawa looked at the screen and said, "Brother Tian didn't grab the bush first, but followed the soldiers to the top lane. The Sword Demon made a fake move here. He deliberately Q'd the red buff twice and resisted the damage of the red buff, with the intention of confusing Brother Tian."

"Spiders spawn from top to bottom, so they can't threaten the top lane in a short time. Licorice has dug a hole for Tiange." Miller understood the reason: "See how Tiange handles it... He chooses to disrupt the minion line, and the Sword Demon comes over to use the first part of Q to make a kill, and Tiange goes up to use AQ!"

Ye Tian grabs the Sword Demon's Q action and causes two rounds of damage.

Turn around and retreat.

Don't give the Sword Demon space to hit with his normal attack and second Q.

While last-hitting, he pulled the enemy's position, and when the second wave of soldiers came up, Ye Tian went into the inner circle of the Sword Demon's first stage of [Darkin Blade] and launched a normal attack, then made a fake step back to trick the Sword Demon into using the second stage of [Darkin Blade], then went into the inner circle again and launched a combo of normal attack + Red Rage Q [Tyrant's Blow].

After two waves of blood exchange, the crocodile was only hit by one basic attack from the Sword Demon, and the loss was negligible.

Even though the Sword Demon has passive recovery, his status will be reduced by one third.

Ye Tian teetered on the edge several times, tricking the Sword Demon into using the third stage of [Dark Blade], then he raised the giant sword and pressed towards the Sword Demon who had entered the vacuum period!

Pass the ranged soldiers.

The Q [Tyrant's Fury] that has cooled down spins in circles again!

Is it over?

No!

When the Sword Demon was retreating, he was blocked by a ranged soldier, forcing Ye Tian to get face to face with him. The reason why he used Q instead of the AQ with higher damage was not only to avoid attracting the hatred of the soldiers, but also to reserve space for the W skill.

When the first melee soldier in the second wave died, Ye Tian reached level 2, pressed Ctrl+W to learn skills, and used normal attack + [Ruthless Hunting] to make three consecutive slashes!
Stack up the Conqueror and attack again!
Just after 2 minutes and 20 seconds, the Sword Demon was driven back to the defense tower, with only a quarter of his health left. On the other hand, the Crocodile not only had four-fifths of his health left, but his anger had even turned red! (End of this chapter)
