League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 151 Let's Talk About IDs and Positions
The MSI tournament schedule is very tight, with six matches scheduled for the second day, and each team will have to play two matches.
The first match was SKT vs. TSM. I don't know if it was because the two matches yesterday were too drawn out, or if SKT wanted to prove that they could also play a crushing game, but in any case, SKT played very proactively in this match.
Peanut's Lee Sin became the engine of the game, helping the mid and bot lanes establish advantages and completely showcasing the difference in jungle matchups.
Throughout the match, SKT's suffocating offensive pace left TSM breathless, and in the final 29 minutes, they secured the victory with a massive 22-6 kill lead.
This result was not unexpected by the commentators, the audience, or the participating teams.
After all, TSM is widely regarded as one of the two worst teams in this MSI, and the other team that is comparable to them is GAM.
The second match today is between Flash Wolves and GAM.
Because Flash Wolves suffered two consecutive losses yesterday against G2 and EDG, if they lose again against GAM today, their chances of even advancing from the group stage will be in jeopardy.
At the start of the game, Flash Wolves did fall behind, but they played with resilience and were able to drag the game out until the 40-minute mark, finally turning the tide and ending the game in one fell swoop.
After a short break, the third match began. The factory manager slowly stood up and said, "It's our turn. Let's go!"
First, they faced G2, then SKT. Today was the toughest day for EDG in the entire group stage. But once they get past these two teams, no team can stop them.
The LPL commentary team today consists of Guan Zeyuan, Miller, and Rita.
After greeting the audience, the three began to warm up the crowd. Miller spoke first: "Our EDG team has two tough battles to fight today. This one is against G2, and the sixth one is against SKT. They are both tough opponents."
Guan Zeyuan nodded: "That's right. According to statistics from overseas websites, 58% of people believe SKT will win the championship, followed by G2 at 22%, and EDG is currently in third place with 11%.
Rita then added, "I don't think this data is accurate. At least I definitely support EDG and C-God, and I believe they absolutely have the strength to compete for the MSI championship."
"Yes, since the start of this year's Spring Split, we've all witnessed the performance of EDG and C-God. In fact, C-God hasn't lost a single match yet. We have no reason not to support a legend from our region!"
Miller said, "Let's drink War Horse together, ignite the passion, and cheer for EDG. Next up is the banning of both sides. EDG, as the blue side, chose to ban Caitlyn, the hero they have always disliked the most. G2 responded by banning Jayce to show their respect."
Rita laughed and said, "Although this hero isn't a particularly strong one in the current version, it's fine. After all, personal ID is also a very important factor."
【Rita, what do you mean? Are you subtly mocking Z-Emperor?】
[How dare you! Who calls themselves Emperor Z? You're calling yourself bait for C outside!]
To be fair, Jayce is a must-pick against EDG, but EDG should also pick Caitlyn, so it's even.
[I don't think Bomber is too afraid of Caitlyn, right? She has a long reach, so she can just clear the lane, right?]
[If it's too difficult to beat, then eliminate it; otherwise, what's the point of having a position?]
Amidst the clamor of the chat, EDG eliminated the currently dominant Graves, mainly because Clearlove couldn't play him well; he was too reliant on gold.
After hesitating for a few seconds, G2 Esports' coach, Youngbuck, picked a hero that no one expected.
Lucian, take him down!
"Why did they take down Lucian? Are they afraid of our top laner Lucian, or our mid laner?" Clearlove asked, somewhat confused.
nofe frowned and fell into deep thought. As we all know, Lucian can only play mid or top in EDG. If we can predict which lane G2 is targeting, we might be able to figure out G2's tactics by following the clues.
But after thinking for a long time, and with time running out, nofe still couldn't figure out G2's purpose, so he could only continue along his lines of thought and say, "Let's just take out Zyra!"
Next up was G2's ban. Youngbuck had his player ban Fiora, which to some extent proved that this Lucian pick was aimed at the top lane.
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Lucian, Fiora, they probably want to use Shen, right? These two champions are quite good at countering Shen."
Lucian has a long range and no wind-up dash, allowing him to pressure Shen so much in lane that Shen can't even lift his head.
Fiora's W skill completely counters Shen's E skill, and in the hands of a skilled player, as long as the opponent isn't right next to you, there's basically no problem with not being able to react in time.
"Shen, let's wait and see. There's no rush to go out on the road. Let's pick the factory manager's barrel first."
Nofe is growing to like Gragas more and more. He can attack and defend, doesn't require much skill, and fits well with various team compositions. He's practically a must-have for casual junglers.
"Don't leave either Ashe or Braum to EDG." Youngbuck decisively chose a double Glacial bot lane to pick off enemy champions and reduce the strength of EDG's bot lane.
With their favorite bot lane duo being snatched away, EDG's options are clearly limited.
Either go head-to-head with Kalista, or play Ezreal or Ziggs in lane.
However, if they choose Ziggs, they need to add an AD carry in the mid lane. But G2 banned EDG's Lucian in the mid lane during the ban phase, which left EDG with virtually no options.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized how deeply G2 had laid their hook, with Lucian practically leaving EDG's bot lane with no other options.
Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but say with some surprise, "I couldn't see the purpose before, but now with this double polarity first pick, G2's Lucian is really useful. EDG's bot lane doesn't have any other options."
"It's true that things are somewhat limited. Now EDG only has EZ left as an option, but that's okay. EZ is a relatively stable champion and it's not easy for him to cause problems."
Miller offered a helping hand, but there was one more thing he didn't say.
EZ is indeed a champion who is not prone to problems, but once a problem occurs, he is basically untraceable for the entire game.
A mid-game strong AD carry who relies on skills to deal damage and needs to farm; if something goes wrong in the early game, it's almost like quitting the game.
