Alliance: Let you buy the top order, you buy an old man?

Chapter 138 Come on, semifinals!

Originally, according to the plan, nofe did not plan to use a few strong hole cards in the group stage, but also prepared a few good hands.

But I didn't expect that in this year's MSI, except for SKT's hard power, the other teams are somewhat strong.

Flash Wolves, G2, and TSM all encountered hard problems and directly sleepwalked with three or four members of the team, only relying on the thighs of the team to forcibly drag other teammates forward.

Compared with EDG and SKT, which have relatively stable strengths in the third tier, such a state is naturally difficult to win.

"Presumably the coach of the horse is also upset about choosing Cui Shen for his first match!"

The team won the first place ahead of schedule, and while nofe was satisfied, he did not forget to think about his old opponent kkoma.

"Indeed, if they didn't want to train the Emerald God in advance, but directly took out the Leopard Girl system, maybe we are the ones who are upset now!" Li Mufan said while sitting on the gaming chair with a relaxed expression, configuring runes.

Nofe no longer plans to come up with new moves in the last game, even if it is a whole job, it has to be saved until the semifinals.

And SKT will have to work hard in one day, not only to study EDG's new job, but also to study their semi-final opponents!
The first round of EDG's semi-finals will start on May 5, and the second round on May 20 will be played between SKT and his opponent.

Regardless of whether EDG and SKT have advanced to the finals, the finals will begin on the 22nd.

Now because the Flash Wolves, G2, and TSM have the same points and need an extra match, the opponents of the two teams have not yet been determined.But what is certain is that the winners of the two teams in the first round of the semi-finals will enjoy the schedule bonus-they have one more day than the teams in the second round to study their final opponents.

"Come on, although we're going to play this as a training match, if we can force out SKT, that would be the best!" nofe rolled up his sleeves, ready to start BP.

As a result, kkoma saw through nofe's idea at a glance.

You EDG are indeed sitting firmly in the first place in the group, but I am also firmly in the second place in SKT. What's the use of trying to fight for the last victory?

This is not like last year when ROX was in the Kespa Cup. At that time, ROX was about to disband after the last game. Therefore, although everyone played it as an exhibition game, ROX still fought hard to win the championship and gave the Tigers five players. All left a good memory.

For kkoma and SKT, they are in the same situation as EDG in this group match; nofe wants to force SKT to show more things, but it is a bit too much.

In this round, SKT pressed the male gun on the red side, obviously not wanting the male gun system to disturb the happy performance of the last round.

Facing Galio, who was pulled out by EDG in the blue side, he backhanded the horse and got Quinn for Huni!

You are going to join the group, okay, I will take it alone!

And for the lane, the hero Quinn can kill Galio's [Justice Punch] with one E [Swirl Rush], and the blinding Q makes the charged W [Duran Shield] fall into the trap. Galio, who was in a decelerated state, didn't know which direction to chase.

In short, as long as the factory manager doesn't bother, going on the road will definitely be Huni's happy nest.

In order to match Huni's single-handedly invincible top laner, Kouma gave the bottom laner bang and wolf a combination of Kalista + Japanese girl, which is extremely powerful in online combat!

Nofe can see very clearly that if you want to play by yourself in the bot lane, Thresh is more in line with the auxiliary positioning than Japanese women, but Japanese women are more aggressive than Thresh by more than 01:30.

SKT is trying to fight in the bottom lane!

At the beginning of the game, all SKT members helped Peanut invade the red zone of the factory manager, and then SKT played three-man lanes all the time in the bottom lane!
The factory manager didn't bother to go down the road to join in the fun. Anyway, Yu Wenbo was originally an EZ dish, and he also brought a TP like bang. I don't know if bang will want to beat Yu Wenbo to death when he sees this TP.

Teleport EZ, the last two deaths are not a big problem.

The factory manager lives directly on the road, although Li Mufan is just a Galio, but the opposite is Quinn!

In the case of 1V1 with no one to help, Birdman is as disgusting as the top laner VN!

The factory director felt that his thinking was very clear, anyway, this game is here to play, to help him on the road to play comfortably, right?
Huni is also having fun, and when he sees Li Mufan online, he wants to fight him, but every time the factory manager is by his side.

In less than 10 minutes, Huni had been killed three times.

At this time, Li Mufan saw a line of yellow characters in the system message box on the left.

[SKT_huni: zhen nan ren, 1V1! 】

Li Mufan took a closer look and laughed immediately, who is going to 1V1 with you Quinn, if you have the ability, you can play 1V1 with me like the Emerald God?

"Leave him alone, catch him!" Li Mufan typed 'OK' in the chat box, and continued to ask the factory manager to come.

Poor Huni believed it was true, the moment he appeared online, the figure of the factory manager appeared from behind him!

It took a full 15 minutes for this game to end the laning period. Huni in the top lane was killed six times, and Jack in the bottom lane was killed five times. It can be called the black and white double evil of the two teams!
As for Scout, he developed a coolness in the middle lane, and he spent 15 knives in 170 minutes. It is not known where the more than a dozen knives beyond the timeline came from.

When it came time to change lanes and play team games, EDG didn't pay attention to Huni who was 0-6 at all, and let him play casually on the sidelines. In the front, EDG kept relying on the factory manager and Li Mufan to force open!

Although Jack died a lot, he teleported two rounds of line protection, which means he only died three times. In addition, the EZ equipment is cheap, and he still got Ice Fist + Magic Cut in 22 minutes. The combat power is not as good as bang's skateboard shoes, but it is enough Follow Scout's big nuclear clockwork to reap the endgame on the battlefield!

SKT held a lineup of skateboard shoes in their hands, and the more they dragged on, the more exhausted they became. They worked hard to keep up with EDG, but the result was that the Scout became fatter and fatter. In 26 minutes, it took [-] minutes to directly hold the three major pieces of wear, ghost books, and hats. The big move is to destroy the world!
When the game was lost, Huni was still on the sidelines, and he didn't come to the front in the whole game. It had the smell of "Du Buchuan" in S6 last year.

"Congratulations to EDG! With a 10-0 record, I have ended my group stage journey!" I remember announcing the end of the group stage with full confidence: "The next step is the extra match."

Back in the lounge, everyone in EDG looked excited. They fought a whole team battle, and no matter whether it was a small win or a big win in each wave, they basically took advantage of SKT.

"Wow! It was such a fun game!" Jack raised his arms and screamed in the lounge.

"Laughing, you don't know, when Yu Wenbo died four times at the beginning, he kept talking there;" Meikou exposed Jack mercilessly, and he imitated the other party's tone and performed: "Stop coming, Brother Wanghu, buddies I was killed and exploded, I can't stand it!"

"As a result, Little Peanut came next, and he went straight to 0-5!"

Jack was extremely ashamed and angry, and rushed over to cover his sister's mouth, but Meikou called Ai Luoli to help, and the two held Jack tightly, and the lounge was full of joy.

On the big screen is the playoff picture, the last chance to advance to the group stage, every team is working hard and playing all their cards!
"After the playoffs, our semi-finals are a lot easier." Li Mufan couldn't help but commented.

In the end, G2 took the lead in defeating Flash Wolves to complete the promotion. Flash Wolves then stole the TSM crystal with a single belt victory in five to 10 minutes of fierce fighting, and won the last ticket to the knockout round.

"Judging from the playoffs, G2, which has finally woken up, is the strongest among the three teams." Nofe said after watching the two games, and he turned to face the crowd: "Fist should wait for us to submit a half We've got opponents in the finals, so let's pick Lightning Wolves, how about it, do you have any objections?"

"No."

"Just Lightning Wolves, let's see if G2 can force some real stuff from SKT!"

If Flash Wolves double-killed SKT like last year, maybe even if Flash Wolves ranked fourth in the group stage, EDG would have to believe in metaphysics and send Flash Wolves to fight SKT.

But due to this year's version, Flash Wolves were completely vulnerable to SKT and were double-killed in the group stage; sending them to the past is a baby of experience, but it is not as threatening as G2, who woke up on the last day of the group stage and won three consecutive victories.

Having decided on his knockout opponent, Abramovich went straight out to find the staff.

The group stage came to an end in this way, and EDG ushered in a four-day preparation period.

Four days seems to be quite a long time, more than enough to study an aging Lightning Wolf, but if you include various media interviews, official promotional videos, and documentaries, it will not be so sufficient.

And you can't really wait until after the semifinals to study the opponents in the finals. EDG also has to prepare for the finals in advance.

This kind of thing is hard to say. If EDG loses in the semi-finals, or SKT loses, it will be a joke on the Internet if this matter is exposed.

But for the team itself, it really had to do it.

Four days to prepare for the semi-final opponent, one day to prepare for the final opponent, no matter who it is, it is easy to think clearly: Is the semi-final opponent worth my four days of research?

If EDG is now in the position of Flash Wolves, it is not wrong to spend a lot of time studying the semifinals.

In this way, EDG started closed training after receiving the team entertainment.

During the period, SKT also came to make an appointment for a training match. Of course, nofe did not give up this opportunity to learn about SKT, and was a little happy that SKT would take the initiative to invite him.

We must know that in the past, it was still a bit difficult for LPL teams to ask SKT.

Looking at the entire group stage, male gun is definitely the hottest existence, but there must be a limitation for him: the most popular system in the group stage.

Regardless of whether it is MSI or S competition in the past, although the group stage and the knockout stage are one version, they are two games.

As powerful teams continue to deepen their understanding of the version, except for a very few OP heroes, version darlings have been changing.

If EDG holds on to a male gun and immerses itself in training hard, I'm afraid let alone the finals, maybe they will be sent away by the Lightning Wolves happily in the semifinals!

Last year's RNG group first fell to the semi-finals is a living example!
In addition to Leopard Girl and Time, their unique system proposed by SKT, nofe is also actively looking for solutions to male guns.

The direction he is considering is the big core in the middle.

The version has always been a closed loop.

From the big core of the middle lane at the beginning-then the rise of the enchantress and Jess, the middle lane turned into a world of rhythm heroes-then the male gun led the middle lane auxiliary heroes from the early stage to the late stage.

It seems that if you switch back to the big core in the middle now, you can control the male gun in the later stage.

You must know that although the male gun has high damage in the later stage, it has short hands; the male gun is very strong in wild encounters, but it is absolutely impossible for the male gun to compete with heroes such as the big nuclear tsar and clockwork in an open place.

Because it is difficult for male guns to cross the front row.

If you want to have a big core in the middle, you have high requirements for the jungler, because it is difficult for these heroes to help the jungle in the early stage.

Fortunately, the factory manager is experienced enough.

If you really want him to design a wild route to avoid collisions with Nanqiang and Lulu in the early stage, he can do it.

Of course, nofe did not put all eggs in one basket. In fact, EDG has been practicing another diametrically opposite countermeasure.

This was something that Li Mufan and Yu Wenbo had discussed a long time ago. Nofe put it in the current mid-field environment to verify it, and found that it was just right to play.

In this way, the two diametrically opposite trainings of EDG started to work in reverse, heading towards the goal of overthrowing Little Peanut, a world-class new generation of wild king!

The days of the training system are boring and tiring. It's not just that the coach proposes a combination, and then everyone in the team can operate it, even if it's done.

The birth of a system requires players to master the unique rhythm of this system.

For example, the placement of wards in the early stage, how to interact with the jungler and online players in the early stage, when and how to exert force in this system, how to remedy if a certain link in the system is targeted by the opponent and has no effect, etc., etc. Pay attention to the point of thinking about actual combat training!

This is why SKT needs to use Time Leopard Girl in the group stage instead of using it as a secret weapon in training matches with non-participating teams.

In the process of creating a mature system, many problems cannot be solved behind closed doors, and must be tested in battle!
Fortunately, EDG has enough sparring partners and their strength can keep up, and these people in the EDG team are also talented enough.

Scout, Jack, and Meikou are all highly talented players who know everything at once; while the factory manager and Li Mufan are experienced and seasoned, and they can occasionally put forward their own opinions during the process of training the new system.

The day before the semi-finals, EDG stopped the training that night to give the players a break in advance to adjust their state for tomorrow's game.

Li Mufan was lying on the bed and was bored watching the Flash Wolves' matches in the LMS division. At this moment, Jack's burst of laughter attracted his and the director's attention.

"You know Yu Wenbo, if you can't tell me something funny, what's waiting for you is Brother Fan's baseball bat!" .

"Hahahaha, it's definitely fun, damn it hahahaha!" Jack couldn't stop laughing, he raised his phone and signaled the two to come over and watch: "Look at this, Wanwan chat room."

Li Mufan came over to take a look, and before he could see what was written on it, he began to complain: "I'm going, this is a relic from 00, why do their forums still have black and white photos!"

"I advise you to leave it alone, this is Wanwan XP, read the words!" Jack pointed out with his hand.

I saw that the above are all Wanwan's evaluation of the semi-final schedule.

[Thanks to EDG for sending G2 to play SKT. This year Flash Wolves played SKT really badly, losing two games in a row!But after playing EDG, we have time to study SKT, so that we can also have a chance to win the finals! 】

[Didn't we also lose two sets to EDG? 】

[Knockout is different!Kaiser Wolf King will teach Pier Lawu a lesson, think about his blindness! 】

【Please, can Mimidan beat Fanhuang?He can't even understand Jesse.]

【As long as there is Kaiser in everything, there is hope】

"No way? They're so optimistic about Lightning Wolves?" Li Mufan felt a little unbelievable.

The Flash Wolves were double-killed by EDG and SKT in the group stage. If this was in the LPL, public opinion would have exploded, but the Wanwan audience can still imagine the finals overturning SKT.

This fantasy ability is also gone.

"They also thanked us for picking Lightning Wolves as our opponents. This is looking down on you, Qichan!" Jack patted the factory manager on the shoulder in a drawn-out tone;

"So why don't you prove yourself by beating up the flashing pee wolf tomorrow?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of this year's Lightning Wolves, let's see how I handle them tomorrow!" The factory manager stretched out his right hand, making a pinching motion with his index finger and thumb; Don't pull the cross, we will definitely leave work early!"

"Why did I go down the road and pull the straddle?" Jack immediately refused to accept it, jumped up from the bed and shouted: "I have to ask Nofe to bring me a Delevingne tomorrow, and chop off a dozen of his heads!"

The factory manager lay back on his bed and smiled without saying a word.

Just now, Jack was the first to pick the factory director, and in a blink of an eye, Jack became the one who was provoked.

Li Mufan smiled and shook his head, Jiang is really old and hot!
On the second day, all EDG members boarded the officially arranged bus and headed to the competition venue.

The team members in the seats all looked relaxed, and Li Mufan was still looking at the exotic beauty of Brazil outside the window.

When he reached the entrance of the venue, Li Mufan straightened his collar and stood up with a straight face, looking solemnly at the Brazilian Olympic Stadium.

"Come on, semi-final!"
