Chapter 119 Semi-finals First Match

【OMG, go for it! Winning one game is considered a success.】

"We've made it to the semifinals and it's already great to have made it this far."

[That’s right, just do your best and don’t feel any pressure.]

In the official live broadcast room, OMG fans who were still shouting about the revival of the dark forces at the end of the last round all became self-disciplined.

From struggling at the beginning of the season to the mid-term appearance of rookie jungler World6, the team turned the tide, gradually stabilized at the top of the LPL rankings, and finally advanced to the playoffs as second in Group B, stumbling into the semi-finals.

OMG's journey is nothing short of thrilling.

Especially when you think about how OMG was still struggling in the relegation zone in last summer's season, how Uzi left during the transfer period, how Lingyao retired, and how the recently reorganized OMG was able to quickly transform itself and look brand new.

The extremely surprised fans couldn't help but hold high expectations, but having come this far, satisfaction is undoubtedly more important than anything else.

Facing the LPL overlords who have won all the regular season games, most of the 60Es no longer care much about victory, which makes the atmosphere in today's live broadcast room particularly harmonious.

Under the spotlight, the EDG team will appear later.

The scene was bustling with people, and all the fans stretched their necks to cheer for the home team.

The shouts reached an unprecedented climax.

The screen was filled with 777s, but there was no sign of the man.

"EDG's starting jungler today is still Ai Loli, who played the vast majority of his regular season games, while rookie player Clearlove7 is sitting on the bench."

Hearing Guan Zeyuan's joking words, I remember smiling slightly: "Yeah, I wonder if there will be a chance to see this newcomer come up and perform."

The two of them joked with each other on the stage to create fun, and in the lively atmosphere, the pre-match preparation phase passed quickly.

As the big screen cuts to the contestants' seats.

Rita, who had been quiet, perked up and immediately spoke, "Then both players are ready. The first match of the semi-finals has officially begun. EDG, who have priority in selecting sides, are on the blue side, and OMG are on the red side."

"EDG routinely banned Maokai to target Xiyang, while OMG directly banned Kennen on the first floor."

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed slightly.

The hero Kennen only showed his skills once in the regular season, but he has already created invisible BP pressure for OMG.

EDG then took down Jayce and Lee Sin.

OMG responded with Shen and LeBlanc.

BP enters the first round of pick.

"Poodle, huh?"

Nofe, who was in charge of the overall plan, said from behind.

With Lee Sin gone, it was a fitting choice to be the first to take down the strongest jungler in the version.

"Once the lion comes out, then OMG will have to use Lulu and Big Mouth."

Big mouth is smlz's specialty.

He made his debut in the last match against IM and performed well for a while after being strengthened.

"Indeed." I remembered agreeing. As soon as I said that, OMG locked onto Mantis and Lulu.

I was a little confused and frowned, "Is it really necessary to grab Kha'Zix? This move is a gamble that EDG won't use Kog'Maw."

should be.

Only when paired with Lulu can Kog'Maw unleash his full combat power.

If EDG forces a grab, it is very likely that both sides will suffer losses, but OMG's losses will definitely be smaller.

Because as long as the omnipotent Lulu is there, you can still choose the policewoman and Han Bing as substitutes, which is no big deal.

The key still depends on whether EDG is concerned about smlz's unique skill.

On the EDG player bench.

Nofe began to waver, "Or else just ignore the other side and continue to take ours."

The release of Dazui and Lulu was decided long ago after internal discussions.

The reason why we pick Warwick first is, firstly, because the map version is strong, and secondly, we want to continue using the face-to-face lineup to counter the restraint.

"What am I afraid of? If he dares to fish for it, I dare to catch it. Big Mouth and Nami can both play well together." Lin Ruo showed no weakness at all.

"That's fine with me."

Tian Ye said.

Nofe nodded in agreement.

As a Korean coach who always emphasizes the right to speak within the team, he didn't know when he became the shape that Lin Ruo liked.

The main reason is that this bastard is really good at C.

EDG locked in Kog'Maw and Nami in seconds on the second and third floors.

"EDG's choice here is very decisive. You want to release it to disgust me, so it doesn't matter if I feel uncomfortable in the bottom lane. I will just use it to fight back against you."

Guan Zeyuan began to look forward to it.

In the OMG player seat.

smlz, who was originally very calm, suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Why not choose it earlier?

To be honest, his touch feels really different with and without a big mouth.

"it's okay no problem."

OMG coach Mingzhe comforted the exhausted OMG team.

In his opinion, EDG is asking for trouble because he has a backup plan.

He calmly commanded the icon to lock down the natural enemy, the rat, and used one thing to defeat another.

Mingzhe's mouth corners suddenly lifted up.

"We can withstand a little pressure in the bottom lane in the early game, and we are definitely more aggressive in teamfights than the opponent."

The rat with an 800-yard range and his ultimate is the easiest to kill heroes like Kog'Maw instantly.

He also wanted to use Ashe to push the line, but to deal with EDG's new AD Lin Ruo who is very good at dealing damage, he thought it would be better to use a stronger damage-type hero to restrain him.

EDG's BP was not at all panicked.

After pressing down the Taliyah and Titan who are the support forces that can easily threaten Kog'Maw.

Continuing to focus on the casting, we locked in Galio and Kled to pair with Lee Sin, which was still an impeccable three-charge formation.

We'll go in and not give you space to output, but then my big mouth will have space to output.

It was an obvious face-to-face tactic, and OMG, seeing through it, immediately locked on Shen to fight back.

As for the final counter position, after EDG released Kled, while they were hesitant, Five still took down Karma for the mid lane.

Guan Zeyuan pondered for a few seconds and said with a smile: "EDG wants to rush, then OMG will protect. Why do I feel like it's the other way around? The Kog'Maw should be the one being protected, and the Twitch is the one who needs teammates to rush forward." Karma is paired with Lulu, and Shen with displacement and shield.

Even smlz himself couldn't help but sigh, it was really cool.

"To be honest, the lineups on both sides are a bit extreme." Rita finally commented.

So far, the lineups of both sides have been finalized.

EDG: Furious Knight on top, Prideful Stalker in the jungle, Righteous Maw in the middle, Maw of the Abyss on the bottom, and Tidecaller Mermaid as support.

OMG: Twilight Eye on the top lane, Void Reaver in the jungle, Apocalypse in the middle lane, Plaguebringer in the bottom lane, and Faerie Witch as support.

OMG has a top four-protect-one lineup, while EDG prefers to cooperate and start team fights.

"The bottom lane is hard to gank in this game, but the opponent must think we're going to go all out. Ai Loli, you go gank top, and we'll farm on our own in the bottom lane."

Lin Ruo said as he adjusted the runes and talents, changing the summoner skills to healing and flash.

The mouse on the opposite side has purification.

Then they actually have a considerable advantage in the early laning phase in the bottom lane.

But Lin Ruo still did not advocate arresting him.

It's too easy to be counterattacked. First develop for a while and then wait until you reach level 6.

When the time comes, one wave will destroy the world.

Taking action too early in the early stages will only give the opponent an opportunity.

The game begins and both sides enter Summoner's Rift.

After receiving the order, Ai Loli and A Guang squatted in the grass in the upper river channel.

Xi Yang had the idea of ​​invading EDG's blue buff and placing a ward from the beginning.

As a result, he was hit as soon as he walked out of his own triangle grass. The Warwick pounced and bit him a few times, and Kled's level 1 chain was hung on him, forcing him to give up his flash quickly.

Otherwise, if he is pulled back by the second chain, and the Warwick uses the triangle grass to activate his passive ability, he is likely to explode at the beginning.

But now you won’t even let me put an eye in?

Xi Yang, who received such generous treatment for the first time, slowly typed a question mark in the chat box.

It’s fine if you banned my Titan and Maokai, but why did you still come to attack me at level 1 when I chose Shen?

Ai Loli silently replied with a row of ellipsis, and the wild monsters appeared, starting with blue as usual.

World6 opens the chicken coop alone, and goes down with a red brush.

The director, who obviously knew what perspective the audience liked to see, immediately switched the camera to the bottom lane.

Although Lulu is strong in laning at level one, Rat is surprisingly weak on the contrary.

The laning combination of the two heroes can only be considered mediocre.

Learn the W skill biochemical barrage to increase the attack range, and Lin Ruo with red eyes spits three times in a row when he goes up to the line of soldiers.

smlz immediately felt nauseous and backed away with his hunched back.

EDG easily took the line control.

Although he was consumed by Five's Lulu's grass when retreating, it doesn't matter. To play as a big mouth, you have to be bold and keep attacking people to push the line.

Being in a passive position, it is impossible to be timid.

After the two waves of soldiers, the EDG duo pushed the line forward, leveled up to level 2 and entered the river to set up vision.

After clearing F6 and quickly reaching level three by taking the red and blue buffs, World6 now rushed into the river in a hurry, wanting to kill the river crab with the vision-expanding effect first.

However, they didn't expect that the EDG duo, who had just made the trinket eyes, would not retreat but advance. They waited in the bushes for a while, and when they saw people coming, they started to drive them away openly and steal the river crabs.

World6 wandered around the jungle entrance for a while.

Lin Ruo quickly cuts the screen, the bottom lane is in a state of pushing the line, and the OMG duo tries to control the line in front of the tower, so let them control it.

He didn't intend to force it, so he just went for it.

It can avoid being caught and won't delay development.

Anyway, you can just let the opponent push back to the center line, and then go back to eat the safe soldiers.

"Hold on, I'm coming." Five took the initiative to come to the rescue.

World calmly used his W skill, Void Stab, to consume the opponent's energy. He was waiting for punishment.

But Kobe fought very quickly and didn't give him a chance.

After the fight, the two retreated from the triangle grass.

"It's a bit disgusting."

World turned around helplessly, complaining in his heart.

Then he was stunned. How did these words come through in the voice chat so clearly?

I didn't speak directly.

"It's really disgusting, this lion dog plays like this, right?"

Turning his head towards the voice, World realized that the person who was complaining was his teammate Xi Yang.

I subconsciously switched the screen to the top lane to observe, and just as I looked up, I saw that my good brother was being attacked by a combined attack of Lee Sin and Kled.

Shen, who didn't dodge, was pulled by Kled's chain, and was pulled back again just as he walked back to the tower.

The lion flashes to add damage.

The usually steady big brother in the team disappeared just like that.

First blood.

【EDG, Fireloli took first blood. 】

What are you doing?

Don't protect the Warwick, and after clearing the upper jungle, go and get a Shen for no reason.

You don’t want the wild monsters in the jungle anymore, right?

When I think about how EDG’s bottom lane just stepped on someone’s head, no, the jungler wasn’t even there, how dare they do that.

World immediately set out to invade the red buff.

Xi Yang, who had given away the first blood, scratched his head and his complaints stopped abruptly.

The flash drop during the first level invasion is too fatal.

But the opponent dared to catch it without any scruples, which can only be said to be courageous.

If this deliberate jungle-changing action to catch people fails, the early stage rhythm will most likely be destroyed.
