In the next few days, everyone in TES studied JDG's playing style together.
Although they are old rivals, each team is learning, evolving, and practicing new heroes according to the latest versions.
A few days passed quickly and the TES members came to the competition venue again.
In the lounge, the JDG team is making pre-match preparations.
Coach Hongmi said: "TES is in very good shape now, especially mid laner Yishen. In the previous match against EDG, he turned the tide in the mid lane, otherwise TES would not have been so successful."
His left hand suddenly felt the pressure. This was not the first time he had fought with Lu Yi, and the previous times had not resulted in good results.
Now the opportunity comes again, can we seize it?
Hongmi continued, "Many teams ahead of us have helped us explore the road, targeting the top lane, the bottom lane, and the middle lane. Although we can rely on surprise attacks to gain a little advantage, it is difficult to win the game."
"I think maybe there's something wrong with everyone's thinking. Facing a team like TES, it's not enough to just think of a surprise victory. We still have to play it safe and steady."
"I now ask you to remove all IDs in the game settings after the first game, and only display the hero's name. Then treat the game as a normal training match. We are not playing against TES, but against... LNG!"
After hearing this, everyone in JDG looked at each other, wondering if this would work.
But having said that, seeing the TES players does have some impact on my mentality, and I feel a lot of pressure.
Especially the ID GodYi, which is scary at first glance. If you can completely forget that you are playing a game against TES and that GodYi is on the opposite side, it may have some effect. The key is that this is not easy to do.
At the game, Guan Zeyuan, Wawa, and Miller were ready to comment.
The director reminded the three people: "The live broadcast is about to begin, please be ready."
After the countdown ends, the live broadcast begins!
The doll explained:
"What is about to take place is the 2022 League of Legends Professional League Summer Season, the playoffs winner's group finals, the two teams are TES and JDG."
"Currently, both teams have shown strong competitiveness and have stood out from many teams. Today's game is very crucial and will determine who will advance to the final first."
Miller responded:
"That's right. This is not the first time the two teams have faced off in such an important occasion. JDG always came back empty-handed in the past. This time I hope they can make a breakthrough and prove themselves!"
The audience seats at the game venue were packed, and most of the audience were holding TES's cheering cards in their hands, and at least half of them were Lu Yi's cheering cards.
The host came on stage, backstage, and the TES and JDG players came to the entrance of the passage, ready to go on stage.
"Warhorse Coach."
"Coach Hongmi."
The coaches on both sides greet each other first.
Lu Yi looked over and found that his left hand was closing his eyes. He didn't know what he was doing. Was he meditating? It was a bit strange. Or was he under too much pressure?
Not only the left hand, Lu Yi discovered that everyone in JDG only looked forward or closed their eyes, and no one would look in their direction.
TES is different. Shan Ji glanced at 369, and Xiaotian looked left and right.
Suddenly, Ah Shui's voice came from behind:
"What is JDG doing? Don't you find it weird?"
Lu Yi nodded:
"Yes, a little bit. How about you shout?"
Both of them lowered their voices. JDG and TES were only four or five meters apart, so any louder voices could be heard.
So the left hand shouted: "369."
Hearing this, 369 moved his body and his head quickly tilted to this side, then immediately turned back.
"369! Bai Jiahao!" A Shui shouted again.
369 didn't respond this time, and just stared ahead, as if he was deaf.
"Is he deaf?" He scratched his head with his left hand, feeling confused.
At this moment, Hongmi came up to negotiate: "What can I do for you, Brother Shuizi?"
Ah Shui pointed at 369 and said, "It seems like there's something wrong with his ears. Please help him take a look."
Hearing this, Shan Ji exclaimed: "No wonder sometimes I feel that 369 doesn't listen to orders and messes up. Is this the reason?"
"Pfft..." Someone from JDG couldn't hold it in and suddenly laughed out loud.
Hongmi explained: "Ah, it's okay, let's play the game first, and we can talk about other things later. He is fine, please don't worry."
Seeing what Hongmi said, A Shui didn't say anything else, but there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at 369. He was disabled but had a strong will. He still played in the game despite this.
At this moment, the host's voice came: "Now, let's welcome JDG!"
So Redmi brought all the JDG members to the stage.
There was a cheer from the audience:
"Jingdong! Jingdong! Jingdong!"
"Left Hand, today is the time to prove yourself!"
"Come on, 369! You must win!"
"Kanavi, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
Then, the host announced: "Now, let's welcome TES!"
So Zhanma led the TES members onto the stage and accepted the cheers from the audience.
After he came on stage, everyone in TES subconsciously looked at 369.
369 seemed to be fine and was even waving and interacting with the audience.
The TES players stood opposite JDG.
Lu Yi faced his left hand and suddenly found that his left hand was staring at the floor.
It's not just Zuo Hand, the other JDG players are like this, either staring at the floor or looking up, anyway, they just don't look at the person opposite them.
This is strange, what is going on?
The director gave a close-up, capturing the conditions of all five JDG players.
So the barrage in the official live broadcast room exploded instantly:
[No, what is JDG doing? Are you looking down on others? ]
[Why do I feel like they don’t take TES seriously? 】
[I see! It must be because they found a way to defeat TES! ]
[Don’t you know? JDG slaughtered TES in the training match. ]
I don’t know where the barrage of comments about JDG slaughtering TES came from. It originally had no credibility, but combined with the current state of JDG, it suddenly makes people feel very suspicious!
Huya Live, in Jiugege's live studio, seeing this scene, Jiugege began to perform:
"Brothers, look at the current state of JDG, what is this? This is extreme self-confidence and determination to win! Zuoshou is my second favorite mid laner, the first one is Yishen, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh."
"If it was before, I would definitely choose Yishen, because he is indeed stronger, but now seeing the state of Zuoshou, I think... Although I still choose Yishen, to be fair, Zuoshou definitely has a chance today!"
On the court, Lu Yi stretched out his hand and shook hands with him with his left hand.
Then, Lu Yi chose to turn around and come to his side and get into position.
Put on the headphones, the equipment has been debugged in advance and can be used directly.
Ah Shui was the first to speak up: "It seems that JDG not only has problems with 369, but everyone has problems."
Xiaotian agreed: "It feels like they took the wrong medicine."
Shan Ji was a little scared: "Brothers, we won't flip over, right? We are here with bad intentions." Hang was confident: "What are you afraid of? You probably don't know, Wenbo and I have been training hard these days, and we are now invincible, you know, invincible."
Lu Yi laughed: "Practicing positioning makes you invincible, this is too easy."
On JDG's side, after everyone sat down, Hongmi began to brainwash them:
"Today our opponent is LNG. As long as we play well, we can win. We will do as planned."
"After entering the game, change the ID settings first. The opponent is LNG, so remember it."
Entering the BP stage, TES is on the red side and LNG is on the blue side.
JDG chose to target the mid lane and banned Sylas, Taliyah and Leblanc.
TES chose to target the top lane and banned Gwen, Master Yi, and Kennen.
Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "The bans in this game are expected. Relatively speaking, JDG has an advantage in the top lane. 369 is basically at an advantage against Shan Ji. For JDG, the most difficult part is the middle lane, and they need to give Left Hand enough support."
Suddenly, the director gave a set of data, Taliyah, Leblanc, and Sylas were all heroes that Lu Yi had never used.
The three commentators were stunned on the spot. Not only them, the audience's minds were also confused.
Wawa muttered, "I just realized that Yi Shen's hero selection has nothing to do with the version. These three heroes are all popular mid laners in the version, but Yi Shen just doesn't play them."
"Now here's a question. Since Yishen doesn't even play, why did JDG ban him? Once or three?"
Guan Zeyuan stroked his chin and thought, guessing:
"Is there a possibility that Yishen is particularly good at playing these three heroes, and they are popular in the version. If he uses them, he can kill a lot of people, but he deliberately didn't use them before, and only used them in training games, and JDG found out."
At this time, on Huya Live, Zizi heard Guan Zeyuan's words and retorted:
"Don't listen to the commentators' nonsense. How can a scrim and a game be the same? When I was in the scrim, I shot one person at a time, and I didn't even know who I was. But in the game, I was beaten into a pig's head. If scrims were useful, Kid and I would be the top jungler!"
The live broadcast room was filled with comments:
[No, Kid provoked you again? You whipped him to death.]
[On the issue of training matches, Zzitai has a say. 】
[It made me laugh. The scrims worked. TSM would have won three consecutive championships. ]
[Then who can explain why JDG bans so many people? ]
Brother Jiu made a crazy analysis in the live broadcast room:
"Brothers, don't think that JDG's bans are inexplicable. In fact, they are hidden killer moves. You know, only mid-lane masters with more than 600 points in the King's Rank can understand it. If you don't understand it, I can only say that you still have a long way to go. Remember what Brother Jiu said, in professional competitions, especially in high-end games like this."
"Every ban and every hero selection has a profound meaning. If you can't understand it, it means you are not strong enough."
At this time, on the TES side, seeing the opponent ban people, Lu Yi scratched his head: "Huh? Did the opponent make a mistake? Whose hero did they ban?"
Ah Shui spread his hands: "It's not mine anyway."
Shan Ji scratched his head: "I don't think I can play these three heroes either."
Xiaotian muttered, "Tialah seems to be able to play as a jungler, but it doesn't work well in this version."
Hang continued, "It can't be me, right? Is it me?"
At this moment, Zhan Ma walked behind Lu Yi and asked:
"You should know all three of these heroes. They're popular in this version. Even though you haven't played them before, you definitely will."
"No." Lu Yi answered decisively.
"No? Impossible. You must have used it in the training match before and they know about it."
"I've said I can't do it and I've never used it. What's wrong with you? Don't I know whether I can do it or not?" Lu Yi asked.
Zhan Ma was speechless. What was going on? As a mid-lane hero, he must practice this popular hero.
How could Lu Yi say so confidently that he couldn't do it?
[Ding! The coach's horse's mentality is fluctuating. 'Don't listen' is triggered, increasing the host's various attributes by 20%. ]
At this moment, JDG locked Monkey King on the first floor.
It was TES's turn to choose, and TES got Sejuani and Poppy on the first and second floors.
It was JDG's turn again, and JDG locked up Captain and Jinx on the second and third floors.
Wawa commented: "Jinx first? It seems that JDG's bottom lane is a bit bold. There are no banned heroes in this game, so they can pick whatever they want. TES' bottom lane is very likely to use a combination with full laning suppression power, which will make Jinx uncomfortable."
Huya Live, Brother Jiu watched the fun and made a bold statement:
"Blasphemy! This Jinx who took the initiative was absolutely blasphemy. TES didn't even have a hero in the bottom lane, but he just picked Jinx with such a big face, not taking Shuizi brother seriously at all."
The barrage also followed suit:
[How dare you! Blaspheming the Water Emperor, right? Wait! ]
[Is A Shui going to play Draven again this time? 】
【Kill Jinx so that he won't dare to choose next time. 】
TES locked onto the Spear of Vengeance on the third floor and then began to ban the support.
Put Lulu and Renata on the BAN position.
JDG also targeted the support and put Titan and Luo on the BAN position.
Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "The thinking of both sides is very clear. TES doesn't want Jinx to have a suitable soft support, and JDG doesn't give TES a hard support in the bottom lane. Now it's time to test the hero pool of both sides' supports."
At this moment, TES got Amumu on the fourth floor, and JDG locked on Fox and Cat on the fourth and fifth floors.
In this way, only Lu Yi's mid laner has not been determined.
The director gave a close-up of Lu Yi, who was thinking about it.
Zhan Ma was so angry that he stood behind waiting for Lu Yi's decision without saying a word.
Just when everyone was guessing which mid laner TES would choose, suddenly, TES got Kaisa, the Void Daughter, on the fifth floor!
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene!
Kaisa was switched to Lu Yi in the middle lane.
Fearing of being slapped in the face, the commentator chose to remain silent and did not dare to analyze where this Kaisa would go.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the final twenty seconds, the lineup was determined:
[Format: BO5]
【TES】VS【JDG】(0:0)
Top: [Wrath of the North] VS [Disaster of the Ocean]
Jungle: [Holy Hammer of Perseverance] VS [Monkey King]
Mid: [Void Daughter] VS [Nine-Tailed Fox Demon]
ADC: [Spear of Vengeance] VS [Rampage Lolita]
Support: [Deep Sea Titan] VS [Magic Cat]
Seeing this lineup, Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "Mid-lane Kaisa? It's indeed a mid-lane Kaisa. When I saw it just now, I knew it was going to be the middle lane. Yishen is inventing something."
"Some viewers may not know that when Kai'Sa was first released, there were people playing mid and jungle positions. I don't think that's outrageous."
Wawa said: "If it was someone else playing, I would think it was outrageous, but this is Yi Shen, it's normal, right? Yi Shen is like this." (End of this chapter)
