Chapter 91-Noxus, first battle against OG!

"Go warm up your hands, the pressure is now on EDG!"

"Mingkai, don't lose face! Be more alert!"

"We who came out of LPL are all great!"

"It should be fine to play a wild card, go for it!"

The players from LGD and IG were cheering for EDG, and the players from EDG were also warming up.

In the second game, C9 defeated AHQ by a large margin.

In the third game, SKT faced H2K and didn't give them any chance.

MaRin, an elderly player, took out his Fiora for the first time in front of audiences all over the world.

In a fight for the dragon, Fiora, who teleported behind, flashed and killed Kog'Maw instantly, breaking the deadlock and ultimately winning.

Yue Lun lost to Faker again.

As for the next game, the audience in the LPL region felt that there were no surprises.

No matter how bad EDG is, it is still the third seed of LPL and a former triple champion of the league. It is not something that a wildcard team like BKT can challenge.

The result of the game was both unexpected and reasonable.

BKT, released the captain.

Although Tong Yang can't play the captain, Pawn can!

The top, mid and jungle combination of Noxus, Scorpion and Gangplank were the heroes that the three major LPL teams considered to be the strongest in this version during the training match, and EDG got three of them.

At 20 minutes and 21 seconds, EDG won.

With a head-to-head ratio of fourteen to one, the economic lead is as high as fifteen thousand!

Both LPL games on the first day were won!

This has further inflated the LPL audience.

The reason why they were praised as the first division was because EDG defeated SKT at MSI.

But the current results in the World Championships further prove that LPL is indeed very strong!

……

The first day of competition is over, and many teams are working overtime to analyze the first day's competition.

Working behind closed doors won’t work, and there’s a chance something might be hidden during training matches.

Only the finals can tell the truth.

Back to the base, the first thing to do is to have a meeting.

"Our opponent tomorrow is OG. You all know that although this team is new, the players are all veterans. Soaz and Xpeke are both veterans of FNC. They left the team this year to form OG. They have a certain level of skill to have made it all the way here."

Fu Manduo said as he flipped through OG’s player information.

The jungler Amazing, whose ID is a bit similar to AJ’s, is known as the No. 1 Blind Man and No. 1 Spider in Europe.

"No problem, we will get it!"

"I think we can take it easy. As long as we can win, we don't have to put in too much effort."

Rookie is a bit conservative.

They have prepared a lot for this World Championship, many of which are 100% sure to give them an advantage.

"Play it safe, don't take it lightly."

Yuan Shen is quite familiar with other teams.

In history, LGD suffered its first defeat at the hands of OG.

It can be said that OG should bear a great responsibility for LGD's confidence being crushed.

However, because he joined IG, IG became the number one seed of LPL and had to face LGD's former opponent.

……

The second day's competition is coming soon.

After doing finger exercises, all IG members boarded the bus to the Pullman venue.

LGD and EDG also have games today, and the three teams will meet again at the venue.

With the blessings from LGD and EDG, the five IG players walked onto the stage and started their first battle in the World Championship!

The selection of teams for the group stage is determined by drawing lots.

IG is the blue side.

However, to be fair, when IG met OG for the second time in the second half, they were on the red side.

However, for IG, whether it is the blue side or the red side, it is actually not a big problem.

Their hero pool is really deep.

Especially in the middle and upper levels, there are too many heroes to ban.

IG banned three characters in the first hand, including Elise, Varus, and Tsar.

OG's first three bans left them with almost no choice.

Iron Man, Gangplank, and Fiora.

The two most toxic heroes in this version, as well as Yuan Shen’s signature sword master, were all eliminated.

When Tienan was banned, Jack pretended to be very upset.

"Acting". As long as he can act realistically, no one will think he can't play the role of Tie Nan! !

Unless there is a ghost...

"You guys choose first. I have many heroes to choose from."

Yuan Shen took the initiative to give up the advantage of being the first to grab it.

To him, it doesn't matter what kind of game he plays.

Noxus, Crocodile, Riven, and even Garen are all fine.

"Then let's grab the blind monk first."

Fumanduo also made a decision.

Amaing's Lee Sin and Elise are both very strong. After banning one first, grabbing Lee Sin is the best choice.

To grab instead of ban.

Moreover, when Kakao played Lee Sin, he didn't have much resistance to making eyestones.

OG's first two moves were to lock down Skateboard Shoes and Clockwork.

Prioritize the mid and bottom heroes, and prepare to leave the advantage to the top laner.

Both sides selected their candidates quickly.

When IG's last hero appeared, the competition scene suddenly burst into cheers.

"Strongest fighting power!"

The newly reworked Hand of Noxus, Darius!!
"I've chosen it! Noxus, you can target him however you want, counter position, first move or second move, I've shown Noxus, how will you respond?"

The doll was very emotional.

When fighting in foreign wars, he is never afraid of being criticized. No matter whether the domestic team has an advantage or a disadvantage, he will praise it and praise it hard!
The focus is clear and the position is firm.

"neutral"

And facing Yuan Shen's Noxus, my sister-in-law was not afraid at all.

The Desert Butcher, Renekton.

Lock it directly!

But as for his sister-in-law's choice, Yuan Shen just wanted to laugh.

If he plays any other hero, even one like Gnarl and Borez, he won't be that easy to beat.

But the crocodile...

Isn't this delivering food to him?
SR’s proficiency with the crocodile is such that he can see right through his sister-in-law’s underwear!

Amid the cheers of the audience, the lineups of both teams were officially confirmed.

“IG Blue Side:
Top Lane: Hand of Noxus - Darius
Jungle Kakao: Lee Sin
Mid laner Rookie: Faerie Witch - Lulu
Bottom lane JackeyLove: Goddess of War - Sivir

Support Kitties: Soul Chain Warden - Thresh
OG Red Side:
Soaz: Renekton

Amazing Jungle: Snow Knight - Nunu
Mid Xpeke: Clockwork Orianna
Bottom Lane Zven: Spear of Vengeance - Kalista
Assist Mithy: Daughter of Darkness - Anne"

The game loading interface appeared on the big screen.

But when they saw Noxus's summoner skills, the audience all widened their eyes and covered their mouths.

Noxus, did not bring teleport, but chose sprint!!

"Is this the wrong thing to do? What should I do if I can't teleport?"

"Should we call a timeout?"

"It's been a while since I've seen a top laner without Teleport. Even Riven in the Summer Finals used Teleport Ignite instead of Flash Ignite!"

Xiaoxiao and Wawa didn’t quite understand and turned their eyes to PDD.

If it was two years ago, it was very common for the top laner to carry ignite to suppress the opponent.

Belt transmission only became popular in S4.

In addition to the factors of version changes such as the weakening of Ignite and the strengthening of Teleport, the most important thing is that players have a high level of understanding of the game.

Fault tolerance, line control, operations, pulling...

More and more concepts are being applied to professional competitions, and even high-end players are learning these techniques.

Without teleportation, the tolerance rate is too low.

If you get caught and killed once, without teleporting to catch up in the lane, you will lose a lot of economy and experience.

Especially for the top lane position, level is more important than economy.

If you get the first blood and the opponent teleports to block the minion line, you will actually suffer a greater loss.

Line control has become one of the compulsory courses for top lane players.

In the mid to late stages, whether it is line-up, support, or split push, teleportation is clearly more advantageous.

For the top laner who is responsible for splitting the lane, teleport is an indispensable summoner skill.

Yuan Shen's Noxus had neither ignite nor teleport, but instead a very unpopular sprint.

What does it mean? ?
