archer ferocity

On the first day of the group stage, LPL had a record of one win and one loss.

FPX, as the LPL team that played at the finale on the first day, naturally couldn't satisfy the audience with the answers they handed over.

Staying up late to watch the game, but watching a bunch of defenses, this is undoubtedly another layer of buff on top of negative emotions.

If you win, blow it up, if you lose it, blow it up, and the national server is unique.

There are many vicious words in it, even the Thorn Bird, who is outside the edge, looks a little terrified.

"The pressure is full. If we lose to Griffin, we don't know what it will be like."

Brother Holy Gun smashed his mouth and said while looking at the forum.

"It's normal. The better the results, the easier it is to be criticized. Look at those players with no achievements. No one pays attention to them. Of course, no one will complain. Are you willing to do that?"

Xiangguo said with a smile beside him.

He's already immune to trolls.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

This sentence sounds like a bit of secondary school at the moment, but it is the most true portrayal of all walks of life.

Whatever you get, you will have to bear the corresponding risks and pressures.

"You guys, let's talk about it after passing JT tomorrow. Li Luo and I replayed the game between JT and Griffin. Although JT's ability to end the game is not very strong, their basic skills are still quite good. A big part of the loss to Griffin was their roster."

Zhu Kai came over at the right time, took the file folder and knocked Brother Holy Gun on the head, and then continued: "After winning JT, we will think about Griffin's problem."

"Of course, don't have any pressure. With our strength, we can play normally and win."

Li Luo added on the side.

Zhu Kai is already considered a relatively delicate kind of person.

But Li Luo was a bit more delicate than Zhu Kailai.

How can the ad player not be careful?
And not only the control of the details of the game, Li Luo can also control the emotions of his teammates quite well, knowing when to give a little pressure and when to use encouragement.

……

Matchday on the second day of the group stage.

According to the schedule, each team will have at most two consecutive days of games in the first round, and then they will have a day off and play another game.

FPX rests on the second day, and the four teams in Group D will replace Group A where FPX is located, and will dedicate two games.

In other words, the second day is also a match between two LPL teams.

EDG in Group D took the lead, and they will face the crooked AHQ.

Although EDG has an unbearable history in the game against AHQ, this history has been brought to an end by EDG led by Li Luo last year.

EDG also seemed to have broken the curse. In this game, they showed the strength that the LPL second seed should have, easily crushing AHQ.

Li Luo, who was watching the game backstage, felt relieved when he saw this.

It is not difficult to see from the debuts of EDG and FPX in this S game that FPX's understanding of the version is obviously different from that of EDG.

Although EDG dare not say that they have caught up with the version [-]%, but at least they first played with the things in the version, and there was nothing wrong with the effect they played.

Group D is a relatively easy group among the four groups. At present, only TL can pose a slight threat to EDG, and in Li Luo's view, EDG will have a greater chance of winning.

FPX is not easy to say.

The coach Warhorse has a relatively poor sense of smell for capturing versions.

This can be seen from the performance of the FPX team in the first half of the S9 World Championship before Li Luo's rebirth.

With the development of League of Legends, the role of team coaches in a team is also gradually enlarged.

Compared with the configuration before Li Luo's rebirth, the current FPX is a little less stable.

This made Li Luo somewhat confused about FPX's path forward in this World Championship.

The other two teams in Group D, TL, imitated G2 on the first day and severely abused the third seed SPY in Europe.

The situation between the two divisions is like fire and water.

Immediately afterwards, the Thorn Birds played against the JT team.

The stability of Thorn Bird on the first day made many domestic players feel at ease about this game.

After all, JT's performance in front of Griffin is really average.

Thorn Bird did not disappoint everyone.

Facing the JT team, Thorn Bird's performance can be described as crisp and neat, using the constant small rhythm in the early stage to cooperate with the incense pot to drive the offensive of the entire team.

Followed by the most familiar way for the audience to win the game.

Snowballing, crazy snowballing, the JT team was defeated in just 26 minutes under the suffocating pressure of Thorn Bird.

mlxg, who received tactical support in the early stage and perfectly drove the rhythm of the whole team, won the MVP of the game.

And it is worth mentioning that the mvp of the first game is also a favorite. This is not to say that Li Luo's performance is not eye-catching enough to be worthy of this MVP, but that when the strength of the two sides is quite different, as the team's engine player The wild position is easier to get mvp than ad.

No matter how strong Li Luo is, it's impossible for him to cooperate with Liu Qingsong to kill the opponent three or four times in 10 minutes. After all, he is also a professional player who has gone through thousands of trials.

In the current environment, "sense of presence" has become an important indicator for evaluating MVP.

In the Thornbird's two games, whenever the director's camera cut to a fighting position, there must be mlxg within three steps.

It is obvious to get the MVP under such circumstances.

……

The Thorn Birds rested on the third day of the first round of the group stage.

They also happened to be able to take a look at the duel between FPX and Europe's second seed FNC.

However, as time went by and the game progressed step by step, Li Luo's expression gradually became strange.

FPX...is the first round of the group stage really poisonous?
If everyone in Thornbird was watching a domestic live broadcast platform and turned on the barrage at this time, they would find that the screen was full of abuse and ridicule.

The abusers were all fans of FPX and the LPL team.

Those who ridicule are neutral and fun people.

For the vast majority of domestic audiences, after a day of buffering, they felt that even though the loss was a bit ugly, losing to SKT was not completely unacceptable.

But you can't lose to FNC!
You can lose in FNC?What else is this?Go home and raise pigs!
After FPX lost the second game, judging from the expressions of the players in their team, it was obvious that they were a little numb.

"Still not in the state..."

The dolls and Miller in the commentary were mixed.

The good news is that EDG brought another victory to the LPL division today, and it was a victory against the No. [-] seed TL in North America.

The stability shown by EDG reassured domestic audiences and commentators.

The PTSD of some EDG fans is gradually fading with EDG's two-game winning streak.

After all, if you can win the AHQ and TL teams, then the weaker SPY has a high probability of winning.

Of the three teams in the LPL, at least two teams don't need to worry about their qualifying.

But this FPX...

The performance was too disappointing.

But it's a done deal, and the commentary and the audience can't change anything.

Now the audience can only hope that FPX will win all the next four games, so that they can 100% take the initiative in their own hands.

If you must lose, you can only lose one game at most. Facing the two teams of FNC and HKA, you must not lose.

Day four of the first round of the group stage.

Thorn Bird team ushered in their last match in the group stage.

I don't know if it was because of the intention of the organizer, the duel with Griffin was scheduled to be the last game of the day.

Maybe they think that only the grand finale can be worthy of the main event in the confrontation between China and South Korea?

The LCK has been bouncing around recently.

The three teams in the LCK division still maintain a record of unbeaten victories.

The time in South Korea is an hour faster than that in China, so the time of this grand finale in Europe is not friendly to Korean netizens.

But there are still countless Koreans who prepared kimchi and drinks in advance and prepared to watch the game in advance.

The South Korean media also praised their team as always, even though they had been slapped in the face countless times, they didn't care.

Face slapping or something, I've been used to it for a long time, can such things as face be eaten?

According to the Korean media, since Griffin returned from the intercontinental game, they have learned experience and steadily improved their strength.

On the contrary, Thorn Bird still had some twists and turns when he first returned.

And Thorn Bird's results in the summer competition are the same as in the spring competition, isn't this a lack of improvement?
The Korean media pretended to be confused and played it up.

Finally, their long-awaited revenge battle came.

"Hello, audience friends, welcome back! You are watching the second half of the first round of the 2019 League of Legends Global Finals group stage! Next, we will welcome the No. [-] seed Thorn Bird from our LPL division. A strong match between the second seed Griffin in the LCK division!"

Guan Zeyuan made a simple opening remark.

There are three commentators for this game.

Guan Zeyuan, Wang Duoduo, and former professional player Maohuang.

"I've been looking forward to this game for a long time."

Cat King said from the side, he spoke very straight, and sometimes he didn't consider the occasion: "The state of FPX... I won't talk about it, and the group where EDG is in is relatively weak, only the Thorn Bird and Griffin. The suspense of the duel is relatively deep."

Guan Zeyuan was speechless upon hearing the words.

Are you in a weak group?
Is this what your commentator should say directly on this occasion?
Can't you be a little more tactful?

But at this time, Guan Zeyuan definitely can't correct Mao Huang, what he has to do is to change the topic.

"Indeed, Chaowei won the MVP of the LCK regular season this summer. His strength is very noteworthy. We all know that although Thorn Bird has two mid laners, the style of the two mid laners is not as good as that of Chaowei. There are some differences in terms of players, coupled with the age gap, objectively speaking, I think Griffin is inferior in the middle lane."

Guan Zeyuan's analysis made the barrage roll.

"That's right bro! Please continue!"

"That's right, that's the smell, milk Griffin to death, Griffin is invincible!"

"One thing to say is that Griffin is really strong. Watching the playoffs of the LCK, I feel that the strength is obviously a level stronger than our LPL."

"Ah, yes, yes, so your LCK championships in the past two years have been handed over to LPL, right?"

……

During the barrage debate, the contestants on both sides were ready.

Following the guidance of the referee, the duel between Griffin and Thorn Bird officially began!
"The bp between the two sides has already started! Griffin got the priority to choose the side in the first round, and they decisively chose the blue side! Then they will have an innate advantage on the bp side!"

After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking in the commentary seat, Maohuang and Wang Duoduo followed up and said: "Griffin's top three bans here... It's interesting. They canceled Li Luo's very impressive performance in the first game. Wayne? This is quite surprising."

"Except for Vayne, there is no problem with Karma's fixed ban against the Thorn Bird, but Ryze...should be banned because he didn't want to take it by himself?"

"The three-handed ban on the Thornbird team didn't mean to be the slightest bit tough. They pressed Pan Sen and Kiyana to death first, and then gave Silas the final ban position!"

When the voice of the commentator fell, the Griffin team directly selected the prince on the first floor.

"Prince... direct lock, does Griffin want to play the fast pace in the early stage? The selection speed of the Thorn Bird team is also very fast. The angels on the first floor and the small guns on the second floor are also locked in seconds!"

Seeing Thorn Bird's unequivocal selection of the first and second floors, the three people in the commentary booth were a little confused.

Especially Cat King, a former professional player. As a player who has just retired, Cat King's game understanding is still online.

But he also had a rough guess about Thorn Bird's first two heroes after thinking for a while.

"Angel...Needless to say, this version of Angel has a high priority. The selection of Angel means that the Thorn Bird will provide excellent protection for the top road. As for the small cannon, I prefer that the small cannon will be a mid-range unit. .”

Maohuang pondered for two seconds to add analysis: "Most of the heroes chosen by Chaowei this season are late-stage big-core heroes. These heroes are actually more difficult to fight when facing small cannons during the laning phase."

"And with Angel on the top lane, it's more reasonable to add fast-paced mid laners to the mid lane."

This is the cat king's judgment.

After all, the version of Xiaopao is not very popular in the bottom lane, and the key point is that the popular ads on the field are all outside.

Heroic thorn birds like Xia and Kai'Sa can be chosen.

But they chose a small cannon.

is this necessary?

"Makes sense."

Guan Zeyuan nodded, agreeing with Cat King's words: "And if there is an angel in this hand, Brother Luo can definitely choose a hero like Calista or a playmaker to take on a certain functional role. After all, the angel Neither the gun nor the small cannon have the ability to control."

"Yes, Team Griffin's thinking is very clear. They finalized Galio on the second floor and made up the system of Prince Galio. Then on the third floor, they added that they can deal extremely strong damage to Angels in the early stage. Repressed crocodile."

Looking at Griffin's hero selection, Cat King frowned: "It seems that Griffin's bp is not only solid in the first three moves, but also takes the initiative. However, it is not difficult for the Thornbirds to deal with it. As long as they press the dead core ad in the second round of bp, they can greatly limit the integrity of Griffin's lineup."

On the third floor of the Thorn Bird, the rock sparrow was finalized under the explanation of the Cat Emperor.

Seeing this situation, the three commentators all agreed that Xiaopao is really a mid laner.

Rock sparrow is more suitable for the jungle position in the version.

It is undoubtedly very suitable to use a rock sparrow to match an ad-type mid laner.

It's just that what the commentators didn't expect was that the heroes given to the second round of bans on both sides exceeded their expectations.

Griffin is on the bench.

"If they don't ban the bottom lane ad heroes, we don't need to ban them. For support, it's good to limit their support's roaming. As long as their support can't swim, it's hard for the two heroes in the middle and top lane to have any effect. play."

Griffin's coach looked determined.

They laid a minefield for Thorn Bird in the first three hands of BP.

And judging from the fact that Thorn Bird's first ban in the second round was given to Xia, Thorn Bird didn't seem to realize where the thunder was.

In contrast, Griffin's two-handed ban in the second round was given to Thresh and Titan respectively.

After these two hook-type heroes who can bring rhythm and start a group are banned, Viper's expression is obviously relieved a lot.

In this way, his bot lane laning pressure is relatively small.

But the Thornbirds' second ban in the second round caught Griffin's coach's gaze.

Thorn Bird, the second ban in the second round of bans did not choose to continue to target the ad position, but banned the enchantress.

This is what frightens Coach Griffin.

them……

See it? !
Griffin played big.

In order to get revenge, Griffin's coach simulated BP many times.

They played Prince Galio's system in the summer split.

And this well-known system can easily be confusing in bp.

Their Galio is not playing in the middle.

Griffin's real goal is to shake Galio to the bottom lane. In this way, he has selected a strong hero for the middle lane to counter the small cannon, and strives to cooperate with the jungler prince who has a strong early rhythm ability to open the middle lane.

In the second round of BP, restrict Liu Qingsong's support heroes with strong roaming ability, so that Galio's roaming advantage in the support position will suddenly increase.

That's all Griffin had in mind.

But the thorn bird, in the second round of ban, knocked off the enchantress.

They... have doubts about the position of the hero Galio?

Thorn Bird's choice on the fourth floor allowed the coaches and players of Team Griffin to confirm their guesses.

"Pike... don't choose ad, just choose Pike? Or is ad really going down the road? Thorn Bird intends to forcibly improve the roaming ability of his support position."

Guan Zeyuan said with some doubts during his speech: "Will it be better if they replace Calista and Niutou?"

Cat King shook his head slightly: "No, no, no, Kalista and Niutou can certainly give the bottom lane an advantage in the laning phase, but as long as the bottom lane cannot be penetrated, it is difficult for Thornbird to link up with other lanes. Although the selection of Pike was forced, it can indeed relieve some pressure on the sideline."

"Now it depends on what Griffin's two-person lane will choose, or... turn the support to the bottom lane, and look at the bp of the Thorn Bird, maybe they guessed something."

There is nothing wrong with Cat King's game understanding.

Seeing the Enchantress appearing in the ban position, Mao Huang's heart instantly became clear.

These two teams... have a lot of routines, don't they? !
However, before the final heroes of the two sides have been finalized, it is still unknown whether the two sides have more routines or he thinks too much.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Team Griffin first locked Kai'Sa on the fourth floor.

Immediately after that, the Clockwork Demon was added on the fifth floor.

In just an instant, their lineup changed drastically.

In the first three moves, when the Alligator, Prince, and Galio came out, everyone thought that Griffin would play a linkage and early-stage fast break system.

But the two-handed big core in the back has increased the stability of Griffin's entire lineup in the later stage by more than several times.

Prince Clockwork has a combo.

Not to mention Galio's connection combo.

Moreover, although Clockwork may have some disadvantages when facing Xiaopao in the middle lane, it is still relatively difficult for Xiaopao to jump in the face and kill a clockwork with E skill that can provide him with a little shield. Clockwork only needs to be level Compared with the equipment, the speed of pushing the line is not much weaker than that of the small cannon.

Crocodile and Galio supported the rhythm in the early and mid-term, suppressing the development of Angel.

This is the fastest adjustment made by Griffin's coach after he realized that the Thorn Bird had forced a change.

Another reason for the rapid adjustment is that the players have a strong hero pool!

Especially Chaowei, clockwork, a hero who can quickly clear the line and make money, is his favorite.

To play Xiaopao, as long as he is a prospector's armguard, it is completely impossible for Xiaopao to kill him.

This is Chaowei's idea.

Griffin's fans were also quite relieved after watching their team choose such a safe lineup.

On the contrary, the fans of Thorn Bird were a little worried.

But soon, the worry in their hearts was broken by the hero on the fifth floor of Thorn Bird.

Worry didn't go away.

It just turned into astonishment and a little disbelief.

Because of Thorn Bird's fifth floor, the finalized hero is not the ADC that the audience and commentators expected, not even the mid laner.

But...

Another support hero.

gem.

And the moment the gem knight just appeared on the fifth floor, he locked it down.

Xiaopao and Pike switched positions instantly.

The mid laner became Parker.

Support gems.

Ad small cannon!

There was an uproar in the auditorium at the scene, followed by the audience in Europe and the United States went crazy.

The mid laner Parker is very strange to domestic audiences.

But the audience in Europe... familiar!
They have used the Pike mid laner for the Tianwang G2 team, and this is also the first to be developed in their European division!

Previously, Pike had only appeared in the upper unit, and it was they, the European king of the universe team G2, who brought this hero to the middle.

Now, even the Thorn Birds have come to learn from them!

How can they not be hi?

on the commentary.

The three commentators all felt that their brains were not working properly, including Maohuang, a former professional player.

Still, Guan Zeyuan said with a wry smile: "Is the Thorn Bird playing Mission: Impossible? This lineup... I really don't know how to say it before the fight."

"In this case, the lineups of the two sides have been completely finalized. The blue square Griffin, the top laner Alligator, the jungle prince, the mid laner Clockwork, and the bottom lane duo are Kai'Sa and Galio."

"The red thorn bird, the angel in the top lane, the rock sparrow in the wild, Pike in the mid lane, and the duo in the bottom lane are small cannons and jewel knights!"

Players from both sides are ready, let us enter the final matchup of the first round of the Group B group stage, who can get all three points in the first round, let us wait and see!
