LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 286: What's the point of playing EZ with Q? You need to play with A.
Since S3 and S4, LPL has advanced to the finals twice, but apart from the tragic final scores, they were all crushed in the first round.

However, today, EDG, which advanced to the finals for the third time on behalf of LPL, crushed SKT in the first game with an advantage from start to finish.

This result not only boosted the confidence of all LPL viewers who were following the game, but also caused endless worries on the Korean side.

On the LCK commentary stand, the Roaring Emperor felt a little depressed. He had thought before the game that today would most likely be an extremely difficult game, but he didn't expect that this difficulty would come so quickly.

In the first game, SKT was not powerless to fight back. Instead, they wanted to fight back but EDG did not give them the so-called chance to fight back. They used the Tai Chi method to transform hardness and softness and won the game in the operation.

If EDG fails to win the second game, it will naturally reach the match point.

This one must be done with all your strength.

Someone posted a data comparison chart on the Korean Internet, which expressed only one meaning. Since the birth of the League of Legends event, from S1 to last year's S6, the team that won the first game in the World Championship finals has without exception become the champion of the finals of that year.

This data made the Korean netizens' fans despair.

[Xiba, are we expecting SKT to create a miracle just after the first game?]

Losing the first game means we're not as good as EDG in terms of form and preparation. Unless we can adjust later, we'll need a miracle.

How dare you, having watched the quarterfinals and semifinals? Don't forget, we've already been beaten 3-0 twice before. Clearly, what we need now is a win against EDG.

[Yeah, if the mid-season tournament is included, RNG has already been defeated 3:0.]

I really don't know how EDG suddenly became so strong, and they even had a 17-year-old AD carry in the bottom lane, just like when Faker suddenly emerged.

Whenever this topic is discussed, LCK fans can't help but turn their attention.

Siba, it’s all Nofe’s fault.

In the eyes of LCK fans, this could never be the credit of LPL. It must be that Nofe taught too well and helped the entire EDG achieve sublimation.

Judging from the fact that ROX was able to rise and win the summer championship last year, Nofe definitely has the ability to do so.

Many LCK teams, especially the eliminated SSG and LZ, are already preparing to talk to Nofe about returning to Korea to coach after the game.

No matter how much money is needed to recruit such a top coach, it is not a problem.

But that's all in the past. The finals are still going on, and this is still the focus of their discussion.

Inside the Bird's Nest, players and coaches from both teams returned to their seats after a brief adjustment, ready for the upcoming game.

After scanning the enthusiasm of the audience, the camera quickly returned to the commentary booth.

"Okay, everyone, welcome back. This is the Bird's Nest, the venue for the 2017 League of Legends World Championship."

"The second game is about to begin. The current score between EDG and SKT is EDG leading 1:0."

Miller, fearing that the audience would forget, mentioned it again. This one point meant so much to them that if it were based on the pattern of previous finals, EDG could even be declared the champion.

However, things in the world are always changing, and even the eternal laws may be broken.

Now all they have to do is focus.

The camera switched to the big screen, and the second round BP of both sides began as scheduled.

EDG is on the blue side, SKT is on the red side.

EDG came up and killed the big tank Galio in the middle lane in the first hand.

The same start as always.

"EDG still maintains their original strategy. In the last game, they also immediately picked off Galio. Facing SKT, they should ban Galio whenever possible. They can't let him go. Otherwise, Faker can do too much with him."

Remember to leave a comment.

SKT still pressed down Kalista, and then banned Prince on the second floor to prevent EDG from grabbing it first on the first floor of the blue side.

Pig girl.

EDG's subsequent BP responded in a targeted manner, and both sides came to the most critical third ban position.

EDG on the blue side took the initiative to kill Luo.

On the SKT player bench.

Wang Leehom looked serious.

He studied the semi-finals a lot. When EDG was on the blue side, the probability of grabbing Luo was very low. Today, they even took the initiative to press Luo. It was obvious that they didn't want to play with him or let their side use him.

Then it is likely that they want to use the incense burner combination again.

The last round was a duel between the incense burners, and the result was...

Wang Leehom, who felt that changes were needed, led the team to ban Lulu directly in the third round.

"Let's see if they'll grab Janna right away. It doesn't matter if they do, because then they won't have an advantage in the bottom lane."

Wang Leehom was thinking.

The situation quickly came to EDG's blue side's first pick.

Gragas. EDG had no intention of locking down the so-called Janna as SKT intended.

The bottom lane Censer is dispensable for them, but they must control the laning rights.

Faker raised an eyebrow. "Let me get Taliyah first. I need to get some work done in this game."

Judging from the status of both sides, Faker also realized that staying in the middle lane was obviously not a good idea.

He must at least ensure that he has the ability to break through the opponent's jungler in the early stage to facilitate roaming.

SKT's red team first decided on Rock Sparrow, and then came to the second-hand choice.

Seeing that EDG did not play AD, Wang Leehom was thoughtful and did not intend to rush.

If EDG takes Tristana, they will take Varus, otherwise the opposite will be true. In this regard, there is no need to pay too much attention to the importance of choosing first.

Then do you want to come to that...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the stage where the selection time was about to count down, and SKT still had not finalized the answer on the second floor.

"SKT's second floor seems to be hesitating. Are they unsure about what to pick? Perhaps they're going to pick a risky champion and then weigh the options?"

Miller stared at the big screen with serious eyes, eager to know SKT's final direction.

They must be going big, but what exactly is big?

"Ouch, Leopard Girl!"

After seeing the hero revealed, Miller, who was mentally prepared, was still shocked.

EDG won last time, and SKT won this time too.

With Nidalee and Taliyah, SKT completely shifted their focus to early-game operations and fighting.

It's such a tightrope walk.

Perhaps considering Peanut's confusion in playing tanky characters, SKT decided to let him use his best hero to do what he is most familiar with.

And this way.

How EDG responds next becomes a very big problem.

"Do you want to just take on the Mouse Wind Girl?"

Listening to Jiede's thoughts, Wawa shook his head: "That definitely won't work. Isn't that just torturing the bottom lane?"

and…

At present, the most important thing for EDG is to determine the mid and jungle first, otherwise SKTD will most likely ban them later.

Although there is a barrel, it seems that shaking to go on the road is a better choice at the moment.

As for what to use mid-field...

Given EDG's temperament, Wawa didn't dare to think too much until EDG really took it out.

Mantis and Syndra.

EDG's appearance on the second and third floors.

Miller exclaimed, felt ashamed and touched his forehead, feeling like he was dreaming of the spring season again.

It’s hard to say which jungler on each side will invade whom now.

"I never thought I'd be able to play Mantis in the World Championship. This is a skin game, okay?"

On the EDG player bench.

The factory manager rubbed his hands excitedly. Talking about his career, compared to Sejuani and Jarvan IV, he was actually most confident in his carry Mantis.

If for no other reason than to be able to cut it alone.

What he didn't expect was that SKT seemed to be in conflict with them.

The robot was locked directly on the third floor, and the huge Bird's Nest was almost completely boiling.

What are they doing? Are both teams crazy?

In all the major live broadcast rooms, all the audiences showed surprised expressions.

It’s a great choice, but also very frustrating.

"If they choose robots, I have to show them my special skills."

In Lin Ruo's relaxed and natural laughter.

Both sides entered the second ban phase.

There are not many ADCs that can match with Robot, so EDG first kills the Cannoneer, and then adds the Shen who enters the top lane.

SKT decisively killed Varus, and the two strong lane options in the bottom lane were gone.

Then there was another hand of Xia.

The reason why SKT was willing to show up directly on the third floor was that they expected that EDG would not have enough ban slots behind them and would not be able to ban the heroes they could choose.

This is indeed the case.

EDG knew what their opponent would pick, but they couldn't ignore top lane.

SKT's final answer is about to emerge.

However, even though it cannot be pressed down, it does not mean that EDG has no options to deal with it.

Lin Ruo, who was on the fourth floor, calmly locked Ezreal, whom he had not seen for a long time.

EZ may not be able to deal with female police officers, but he has no problem fighting against robots.

If Karma is added, then the bottom lane battle may not be certain.

As for the pulling, it all depends on your ability.

With SKT winning the game in the final hand, the battle of wits and courage between the two teams finally came to an end.

Miller in the commentary booth calmed down. The most amazing thing about the lineups on both sides is that Karma can build a censer to protect EZ, and Nidalee can also build a censer to protect Caitlyn. No one has a worse endurance.

The development of this game is destined to be completely opposite to the previous one.

"Then the lineups for both teams have been finalized. EDG on the blue side, top lane Gragas, jungle Kha'Zix, mid lane Syndra, and the bottom lane duo of Ezreal and Karma."

"SKT on the red side, Shen on top, Nidalee in the jungle, Taliyah in the mid lane, Caitlyn and Robot in the bottom lane."

"The players are ready. Let's enter the second game of EDG vs. SKT. Let's wait and see who will win!"

The words fell.

Thunderous cheers rang out.

Ten people from both sides quickly entered the Summoner's Rift and prepared to go.

The camera was fixed on the bottom lane duo on both sides from the very beginning, and even the director knew where the focus of this battle would be.

Controlling the Glacier Warrior EZ, Lin Ruo, who had just left the house, slowly came to the fixed position of the triangle grass in the bottom lane.

Level 1 robots have a high probability of intrusion, so they need to guard against many points.

The best way to deal with it is undoubtedly to gather together in the lower jungle area to defend.

Syndra and Mantis left vision at the entrance of the jungle area. After realizing that SKT had no intention of invading, they felt relieved and went back to the red zone to wait for the wild monsters to refresh.

Lin Ruo below also set his vision in the triangle grass to prevent SKT from taking the opportunity to invade from another open position.

1 minutes 40 seconds.

Helping the jungler Zzitai's Mantis to kill the red monster, Lin Ruo, who came online, pinged the signal from the bushes in front of his own defense tower, and the level 1 robot was in a fixed squatting position.

The SKT duo goes straight to the line and has priority in pushing the line. At this time, they should not think about grabbing the line, but how to take the line.

How to safely eat the line? Tian Ye needs to use Karma to drive away the robots in the grass.

Lin Ruo, who was online, was stuck on the wall and turned back and forth. He did not clear the line immediately. He waited for Karma Lisso to come out from under the tower to strengthen his RQ, cast a psychic orb to clear the robots in the grass and leave a spies.

Reassured, Lin Ruo stepped forward to attack the soldiers in the back row. While A was attacking, he subconsciously moved outside and twisted away the peacemaker that the policewoman used to attack everyone she saw.

The first Q skill missed, and Bang quickly moved inward to create diagonal distance to avoid being attacked by the backhand mystic shot.

EZ's position is very fixed and sophisticated.

Always stay above the soldier line, that is, near the river entrance area, so that you can Q the soldier line and poke the opponents from time to time.

The more important point is.

When the jungler comes, you can use E wall to escape at any time, effectively raising the upper limit of laning survival rate.

This position is the fixed position for every EZ player at the beginning and afterwards.

Unless you need to zoom in or return to the city, there is no need to go into the bushes to clear the line or fight.

Clearing the line.

Lin Ruo used EZ to bypass the line of soldiers and exchanged a basic attack with the policewoman, and then used the Q skill to clear the back row soldiers blocking his way.

With Karma's single Q, the health of the red team's back row soldiers dropped sharply.

EZ's clearing speed is very slow, and its real strength lies in its ability to continuously consume Q skills to gain health in the lane.

That's why it's necessary to pair it with a hero like Karma who has poor lane consumption and lane clearing capabilities.

Tian Ye has to provide the service of stacking swords continuously so that Lin Ruo can quickly eat up all the soldiers in front of him while Poke without delaying the push.

The first round of consumption by both sides was fleeting.

Wolf, who was at level 1, controlled the robot out of the grass and moved slightly late. He used his claws to catch Karma and pulled her into the grass.

The policewoman followed the peacemaker and walked forward to consume the energy.

Lin Ruo calmly A-ed the soldier, used his Q skill through the gap, and walked directly across the line of soldiers to attack the policewoman.

Just because a robot hooks you doesn’t mean you’ll make money.

Because SKT can only consume one, while EDG can consume two.

Karma, who had lost a lot of health, turned around and fired a newly refreshed RQ. Although she didn't hit the policewoman, it did cause a certain slowing effect and damage when it hit the soldiers at close range.

So much so that Lin Ruoduo hit him twice.

Then they would retreat while they were ahead, moving to the front of their own line of troops, or even near the tower.

Since the SKT duo came online earlier, their upgrade to level 2 was definitely faster than theirs.

Neither of them was greedy for normal attacks to reduce health.

Especially when Tian Ye is on the battlefield, he turns around and uses his skills to start retreating.

After this wave of overall consumption, the health of Karma and the policewoman has dropped to a certain extent.

SKT naturally got the right to push the line and pushed the line to a position near the tower.

Bang, who had lost one third of his health, became more cautious in pushing his troops.

However, just as EDG reached level two, Lin Ruo moved forward and killed a small soldier on the periphery, then instantly learned the E skill and moved outward into the path near the triangle grass area.

Q through the wall in seconds.

A mystical shot accurately passed through the pile of soldiers and hit the policewoman who was unable to react in time.

Bang couldn't help but hiss.

This was his second Q since he came online, causing his health to drop directly to less than half.

I wanted the Peacemaker to fight back appropriately, but EZ once again turned around and dodged it.

There is no harm without comparison. Since he came online, his Q skill that can penetrate soldiers has been better released, but he has not hit a single shot at his current position.

If the previous two times could be attributed to incidental consumption by the Qing troops, there is obviously no excuse this time.

From the God's perspective, Speed ​​​​Three's Peanut has already controlled the Leopard Girl to the bottom lane.

However, due to the pushing of the line, it is a bit difficult to do it.

He could also see the facts.

It is actually difficult to catch the combination of EZ and Karma in the first three levels when they are pushed offline.

As the level increases, the EDG bottom lane team, which is good at Poke, regains the line rights, which is obviously a better time to catch.

But now that we are here, we definitely can’t just ignore it.

Peanut took the initiative to attack and used his Q skill to test. By cooperating with the robot, he suppressed Karma's movement, knocked down the healing acceleration and health protection given by EZ, and then left.

In the next two waves of troops pushing each other, the EDG duo, who had already reached level three, opened fire at full power.

The alternation of military lines gradually returned to the center line.

Bang, who had knocked down the medicine bottle but whose health was still around half, felt a lot of pressure.

This EZ is a bit fierce.

This also has to be attributed to the combination of EZ and Karma.

With the passive attack speed that can be stacked up to 5 times, EZ can have a faster basic attack hand speed than him just by continuously attacking soldiers. In addition, he can stack the layers of his talent War Fervor accordingly. Combined with Karma's acceleration and shield pull, EZ's forward movement can almost be said to be a damage-free consumption.

The W skill deals damage and reduces CD.

Once he pushed away the large number of soldiers in front of him, EZ, who could use Q almost infinitely, became an even bigger nightmare in his eyes.

Wolf can only hook Karma. If he wants to hook EZ, he can do so, but the prerequisite is that he has to hook her and at the same time launch a wave of large damage reduction.

The latter is easy to achieve, but the former is a bit troublesome. After all, EZ's Arcane Leap can perfectly offset the robot hook to a certain extent if the release timing is grasped.

Wolf is not easy to deal with.

Especially EZ and Karma have a high tolerance rate. If they easily throw out a hook and it is dodged, they will easily be pulled back and hit back.

After both teams reached level 4, Wolf honestly started to hide in the grass.

But Kalma, who is working in the field, doesn't think so.

RQ hits to slow down the opponent, then flashes forward with the hook to attach the chain and control the opponent to keep him.

Seeing this wave of operations, Wolf knew that there was a high probability that someone was coming from behind, so he could only hit Karma and quickly use the W skill to flash back quickly.

The first target of the factory manager who came up from the river was the policewoman on the periphery, and he jumped up with flash and E.

Bang was forced to retreat and give up his treatment, and was forced to use flash again.

The two sides exchanged skills a lot. In addition to losing a lot of health, the SKT duo also gave up an extra healer.

Karma's health has also reached half.

Only Lin Ruo EZ's health is relatively healthy.

As soon as Mantis left, Peanut hurried to the bottom lane.
