Chapter 98-LPL’s first defeat, fighting against KT!
After the game ended the next day, the three major LPL teams got together again.
Although each team's tactics and play styles will not be shared unconditionally, all publicly available information, including research on their opponents, the world championship version, and the formulation of BP tactics, will be shared.
If Yuan Shen, Mingkai and Wei Shen hadn't discussed it beforehand, it would have been really difficult for the three teams to get together.
no way.
Teams that are stronger than yours are still sharing their playing strategies with you, which is purely a form of technical poverty alleviation.
As the strongest team in the LPL in the upper core version, IG can give them a lot of help.
Of course, they also gave IG a lot of help.
Operation, coordination, and play style...
The strength of the three teams is improving.
In addition to their individual training matches, the three LPL teams also benefited greatly from the joint meetings every night.
Every year’s World Championship has a very special phenomenon.
In the group stage, everyone thinks that some heroes are very powerful, but in the quarterfinals, they will find a hero that is even stronger or can restrain the previous hero.
After the first day of competition, in addition to the two heroes who are always banned, Malphite and Gangplank, the carnivorous jungler Elise instantly became the hottest of the version.
Because Spider's ability to cooperate with the top laner is really strong.
In other words, her ability to target a single lane, combined with her strong control on the lane, is unstoppable.
With the E skill, Spider can unscrupulously cross the tower and invade the jungle.
In the current version where you can win the game by fattening up the top laner, the jungle hero Spider plays a very important role.
Whichever side gets the Elise, that side's top laner will have a very comfortable life.
Before, no matter which region, herbivorous junglers like Jarvan and Sejuani were the mainstream.
But these herbivorous junglers cannot restrict the spider.
In order to limit Spider, Mingkai, Taobao Quan, and Kakao's joint research results are jungle heroes such as Lee Sin and Olaf.
Each link counteracts the other.
A group of top players from their respective regions gathered together to compete at the highest intensity every day and study the most powerful playing style in the current version.
Every day, the playing style changes.
Every day, the routines are updated.
Every day, the players are getting stronger.
And Yuan Shen still maintains high-intensity training.
Seeing Yuan Shen working so hard, IG and even the people from the other two teams were quite impressed.
What about Tiandao and DNF? There is plenty of time after the World Championship.
The World Championship only lasts for a few days. At worst, I might as well sacrifice my life for you and leave no regrets.
The domestic atmosphere has inflated to the extreme.
Both the commentators and the audience believe that LPL is now the undisputed number one league.
EDG and LGD originally had such an idea, but when they saw that IG, who had the most suitable version, continued to go in and humbly seek advice, their arrogance inevitably faded a little.
……
The third day of the group stage is coming soon.
Group B had a bye today, so LGD did not come to the game and instead conducted internal training.
EDG's opponent today is SKT.
IG's opponent is KT.
The two China-South Korea matchups are back-to-back.
Everyone is paying attention to today's game.
Especially the LPL audience, they bought melon seeds and peanuts and waited in front of the screen.
"Faker... If possible, I suggest you don't give up the top lane, and pay more attention to Faker's Ryze."
Before the game started, Fumanduo spoke to Abu earnestly.
They didn't share Ryze with EDG too early. This is their trump card.
However, after the World Championship, some heroes that cannot be trained in a short period of time can be shared.
In the training match with EDG, Rookie took out Ryze and killed Pawn's Card twice.
I also heard from professional players in Europe and the United States that SKT used Ryze in training games and the effect was very good.
Faker himself is the top Ryze user, and no one will doubt his proficiency in Ryze.
This is especially true for Fumanduo, who was once a teammate of Faker.
"OK!"
Abu still listened to Fumanduo's words.
He didn't complain about anything, IG is not a saint.
To be fair, they also hid some things and did not reveal everything.
The game starts soon.
EDG directly banned Ryze, Elise, and Gangplank.
And SKT banned Malphite in the last minute.
This made many people wonder if Bang was not a good man.
In other words, his proficiency is not high and he does not have the confidence to use this hero.
Every step of a strong team’s BP is full of profound meaning.
However, the game entered SKT's rhythm from the very beginning.
When MaRin chose Rumble, SKT took the initiative to change lanes.
However, when following Bengi's Lee Sin to clear the jungle, it is MaRin rather than Bengi who gets the lion's share of the economic gains from the jungle monsters.
Although EDG knows that the top laner is important, MingKai has not yet realized the need to sacrifice his own development to ensure Tong Yang's economic development.
This resulted in Tong Yang lagging behind by nearly 300 economic points when MaRin and Tong Yang faced off in the lane.
In this situation, EDG was almost crushed by SKT's operational rhythm from beginning to end.
Originally, each lane had no advantage, not to mention that the top lane was inherently backward.
MaRin's Rumble used nearly perfect ultimates in several team fights, almost single-handedly limiting EDG's back row output.
In the 34th minute, Faker's Clockwork cooperated with Bengi's Lee Sin to go around the back, controlled three people with their ultimates, exchanged one for five, and directly pushed down EDG's crystal.
LPL suffered its first defeat.
Perhaps because LPL had a very good record before, domestic audiences showed full tolerance even if they stayed up late to watch the game and did not get the desired results, and did not condemn EDG too much.
"After all, they are the third seed, so it's normal that they can't beat the first seed."
"EDG can fight SKT back and forth, if LGD and IG come, I don't dare to think about it!"
"Is this the strongest team in LCK?"
"When IG played against EDG, they defeated them in just over 20 minutes. It seems that SKT is not that good either!"
"The factory director really just abandoned the pigs and ran away, which really made the piglets sad..."
The comments in the live broadcast room were full of crazy jokes, and in the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and PDD were still discussing the previous game.
"What a pity, MaRin's Rambo can't be released. There is something wrong with this person's Rambo."
Xiaoxiao looked at EDG's crystal exploding and couldn't help but sigh.
He used to be a commentator for Qihuang OGN and has a deeper understanding of the players in the Korean region.
"I feel like we need to target Rumble when facing SKT in the future. I just don't understand this Ryze. During the summer season, quite a lot of people played Ryze. Wasn't he weakened before this World Championship?"
The doll was very confused.
"Maybe there is some inside information..."
Miller shook his head and continued, "The next game between IG and KT will start. Audience friends, please stay away. KT's top laner Ssumday has something to say."
The audience in the live broadcast room and on site did not feel any regret for EDG's fall, because the one about to arrive on the battlefield was LPL's number one seed, IG!
