Stop contacting LPL, we are so unfamiliar!

"I remember you are right. If IG really defeats G2, then our LPL division will create many historical records this year."

"But before that, I think we still have to focus on today's semi-final BO5."

"Only if IG wins will we have the opportunity to think about what's next."

After hearing the confident remarks, Guan Zeyuan immediately said in a dumbfounded voice.

After all, in the past two years or so, their LPL commentators have expressed too many expectations similar to "As long as they win G2, then so be it."

But the problem is, without exception, this "as long as" the LPL commentators talk about has never happened!

"I hope IG can avenge the LPL region's disgrace and defeat G2 in today's game."

"The players from the IG team just appeared on the stage. It can be seen that they are very energetic and have a very strong desire to fight."

"Then let me take this opportunity to read out the starting lineups of both teams."

New World Championship commentator Hitomi Xi took this opportunity to pretend to be cute and said.

The IG team has top laner Theshy, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, bottom laner Jackeylove, and assistant Baolan.

The G2 team has top laner BrokenBlade, jungler Dark, mid laner Caps, bottom laner Perkz, and assistant Hylissang.

"Before the first game of today's BO5 game, I must mention that since entering the knockout stage, IG has given the starting jungler position back to King Ning."

"Although IG's new jungler Xiao Leyan performed very well in most of the Swiss rounds, his competition experience is still lacking."

"This is also the main reason why IG failed to defeat TL and directly obtain a place in the top eight."

"After Ning Wang returned to the starting lineup and IG regained its full strength, we can clearly see their combat effectiveness and successfully defeated DWG with a score of 3 to 2."

"So in today's game, I have reason to believe that King Ning, who has fully recovered, will be able to work with his teammates to create enough trouble for the G2 team!"

I remember saying categorically that I am full of expectations for today's IG team.

"Okay, the players from both teams have completed all pre-match preparations."

"Now, let's enter the first game of today's semi-finals BO5 game BP!"

Later, when Guan Zeyuan's voice fell, the big screen at the scene immediately cut to the BP picture of the game.

In the first game, the blue side IG team banned first and picked first.

spider! Syndra! Kasha!

The first three bans of the IG team adopted a completely different ban strategy from the previous RNG team. They only targeted Dark's spider in the jungle position, and chose to release all other jungle heroes.

The reason is very simple, that is, Ning Wang's jungle hero pool this year is relatively similar to Dark's jungle hero pool, and their proficiency is not low.

In other words, from King Ning's point of view, as he has become stronger this year, no matter what jungle hero Dark chooses, he is quite confident in defeating him!

Pantheon! Qiyana! Kasumi!

The first three bans of the red side G2 team, except for Pan Sen who must be banned in the first move, the last two moves are based on improvisation.

Qiyana is a hero that King Ning is really good at playing, and in the hands of the IG team, she can swing in the middle and jungle, and even in the middle and upper jungle, so the G2 team has no reason to release her.

As for Xayah's banner, they were forced to have no choice. After all, the IG team's intention to ban Kai'Sa was very clear. They wanted to force the G2 team to ban her, otherwise they would grab Xayah on the first floor.

And once Ah Shui grabs Xayah, Perkz really doesn't have any heroes to fight against Xayah except Syndra.

However, there are still some problems with the hero Syndra going down the lane. For example, there is not enough continuous output ability in team battles, so after consideration, the G2 team can only ban Xayah.

Rune Mage Ryze!

The first round of bans is over. As soon as the first round of selection begins, the first floor of the IG team directly grabs Ryze, who is a must-ban for almost every major team in the current version.

Although the RNG team lost all the "rob Ryze" games a week ago, it was obviously not Ryze's problem, but Xiaohu's problem.

After all, Doinb's Ryze went crazy yesterday, and Rookie's Ryze is not weak either!

Desert Butcher Crocodile!

Barrel Gragas!

It was the G2 team's turn to select players for the first and second floors. BB and Dark almost didn't think twice and locked these two heroes in seconds.

BB chose the top laner Crocodile for a very simple reason, that is, he really wanted to take the lead when facing Theshy player in today's first game and beat him in the lane.

As long as this game is won, BB believes that he will have enough psychological advantages, and at the same time, Theshy will feel more psychological pressure.

Barrel is one of Dark’s signature jungle heroes, and there’s not much to say about him.

Ornn, the Flame of the Hidden Mountain!

Explorer Ezreal!

But what all fans of the IG team didn't expect was that facing BB's crocodile, Theshy chose to be cowardly in this round. Instead of choosing a warrior top laner to face off against BB, he chose the pressure-resistant Austrian. kindness!

Guan Zeyuan guessed the thoughts of the LPL audience at the first moment, so he immediately said with a smile.

"It's so ruthless. IG has prepared so ruthlessly for today's semi-finals."

"On the surface, it seems that Theshy is giving in by choosing top laner Ornn, but that's not the case."

"Players who have played Crocodile in the top lane should know very well that the hero Ornn's laning strength is actually not weak at all. If the operation is good enough and you can often deal fragile damage effects, you will actually have a chance to complete the duel. The crocodile’s matchup was a solo kill!”

"Just like in the last BO5, BB Ornn killed the Wolf Crocodile alone, today's Theshy obviously wants to teach BB Crocodile a lesson."

"There is another reason, which is that all teams now, including the G2 team, know that when playing against the IG team, once Theshy player is silenced, it will be more difficult for the IG team to win."

"So in today's first game, the IG team directly decided to let Theshy player stabilize his hand first, to see the status of BB player, to see the strength of G2's top and jungle linkage, and then make adjustments to hero selection in subsequent games. "

"From this, I think Theshy's choice of Ornn is actually very good!"

"As for EZ's hero selection, there's actually nothing to say, because EZ is the AD hero with the third highest appearance rate in the current version, after Kai'Sa and Xayah."

Guan Zeyuan said with a chuckle, because in his opinion, after IG Three C locked these three heroes, at least in this round, the IG team will definitely not be at a disadvantage in the line-up.

"And Ornn also has the advantage of being able to buy equipment for his teammates in the later stages."

"However, when facing the G2 team, the IG team still has to stabilize the early and mid-term as much as possible. Otherwise, once they are at a huge disadvantage 20 minutes ago, with the G2 team's snowballing ability, they generally will not drag the game to Late stage."

Tong Xi said solemnly, and it sounded like she was the only truly neutral commentator among the three.

Swift Sword Master Yasuo!

Just when Tong Xi's words fell, the third floor of the G2 team hesitated for a while and then directly targeted Yasuo, the hero who made all the G2 team fans at the scene cheer collectively.

Because it had been more than half a month since they last saw Yasuo from the G2 team!

"Yasuo?!"

"No, is the G2 team going to reorganize directly in the first game of today's BO5 game?"

"The last time the G2 team played against the DWG team, it was Caps' mid laner Yasuo who turned the game upside down. But what we all know is that in fact, Yasuo can also go down the lane!"

"I hope that the IG team can carefully consider the possibility of G2 team's Yasuo swinging in the second round of BP, but what is certain is that no matter what position G2 team's Yasuo takes, they are ready to fight IG team in this game. Team up!"

At the end of the first round of BP, I remember exclaiming.

Although in the qualifying rounds and Swiss round of this S9 World Championship, major teams still prefer to use some non-traditional heroes to play the bottom lane position, such as Syndra, Yasuo, Clockwork, and Galen.

But as the game progresses, more and more teams still regard teleporting adcs as their first choice, because this can provide the team with more stable and continuous output.

But what I never expected was that in the first game of BO5 against the IG team, the G2 team was suspected of reorganizing again.

How can this not frighten everyone who remembers and all LPL fans? ! excavator! Olaf!

While talking, the G2 team quickly completed the last two bans, choosing to target the jungle hero pool of King Ning who had not yet been selected.

Although Dark is not worried about what kind of trouble King Ning will cause in the jungle, if he chooses these two junglers who are better able to cooperate with the online heroes to catch people, the pressure on his teammates will increase exponentially.

Akali! Angel!

As for the last two bans of the IG team, they did not continue to target Dark's jungle hero pool. They seemed to be extremely confident in King Ning's performance.

At the same time, the IG team seemed to be betting that the G2 team's bottom lane combination would be Yasuo Keg, so they continued to ban Caps' two mid lane heroes.

Blind monk Li Qing!

When it was the G2 team's turn to select players on the fourth floor, they did not continue to sway on Yasuo's split. After all, if Yasuo was in the mid lane, Perkz did not have any good heroes to beat Ah Shui's EZ.

So Dark directly took the lead in grabbing the blind monk who Ning Wang had performed well in the previous game against the DWG team, and at the same time handed over the final counter position to Caps.

Prince Jarvan IV of Demacia!

Galio, Colossus of Justice!

When it was the IG team's turn to select the last two heroes, they also directly locked in Prince Galio, the midfielder and jungler combination that did whatever they wanted without hesitation.

It was also when the lineup of the IG team was finalized that the people in the commentary box instantly became excited.

"Prince Galio! Not bad, very good!"

"The G2 team's selection of heroes on the first four floors has given us a very clear signal, that is, they want to win the game through mid-term team battles."

"But it is obvious that our IG team is not timid at all, and has also selected a very strong lineup for mid-term team battles!"

"Once Prince Ning enters the field, Sapphire Galio jumps big, and Shy brother Aoun jumps big again, with the output capabilities of Rookie Ryze and Ah Shui EZ, the IG team is very likely to have a perfect team battle!"

I remember saying this with great surprise, and Guan Zeyuan also agreed very much.

"And the IG team's lineup is also relatively easy to fight in the laning."

"Ornn in the top lane is not afraid of crocodiles, and Ryze in the middle is not afraid of counters. The bottom lane is even more advantageous in the early stages of the laning, and the Durang Shield that assists Galio actually restrains Yasuo's E-face very well!"

"So in this game, I think King Ning's prince doesn't even need to take the initiative. He just needs to counter-crouch, prevent Dark from doing things during the laning period, and help his teammates gain a laning advantage. So in this game The IG team has a higher probability of winning!"

"Because even though Ah Shui's EZ cannot be considered a late-stage hero, BB's Crocodile is actually only an early-stage hero!"

Guan Zeyuan said with a smile, since both teams are working hard to prepare for the mid-term team battle in this game, then with the IG team's years of "miracle team" experience, they will definitely be able to defeat G2!

"Let's first take a look at what the G2 team will choose for the counter position on the fifth floor..."

"LeBlanc, the Trickster!"

"In this case, I think the team battle lineup of the G2 team may be slightly better than the IG team."

And when the fifth-floor hero of the G2 team was slightly torn between the little mage and the Enchantress, and finally decided to play Ryze for the mid laner Enchantress, Tong Xi said "honestly" again.

"If Caps chooses the little mage in the end, then I think the IG team has a chance to inflict damage on him without displacement first."

"But now that Caps has chosen the more flexible Enchantress, he actually has the opportunity to poke the IG team before the team battle begins."

"And on the G2 team, whether it's the blind monk or the barrel, they all have the ability to initiate and counter-attack!"

Hitomi said solemnly, and the subsequent KI Colonel score also supported her statement, because the IG team's lineup score was 92 points, while the G2 team's lineup score was 94 points.

"The difference between the lineups of both teams is actually not big. In this case, this game will further test the operations of the players of both teams and their ability to adapt on the spot."

"I believe that after experiencing the BO5 battle with the DWG team, today's IG team will definitely be more mature in mentality!"

"Of course, the G2 team will not panic at all when facing this situation. After all, as world champions, they have seen all kinds of things in the world."

"So for the G2 team, as long as they can play at a normal level, I believe it is not that difficult to defeat the IG team again."

"Then let's wait and see the first game of the BO5 battle tonight!"

In the commentary box, when the BP stage finally ended, I remember finally remembering to be "objective and neutral".

And when he finished speaking, after the hero exchange between the players of both teams, the final lineup of this game was finally officially finalized.

The blue side IG team has top laner Ornn, jungler Prince, mid laner Ryze, bottom lane EZ, and assist Galio.

The red team G2 team has Crocodile in the top lane, Lee Sin in the jungle, Enchantress in the mid lane, Yasuo in the bottom lane, and Keg as an assistant.

"Let's go G2! Let's go G2! Let's go G2!"

"Come on IG! Come on IG! Come on IG!"

Just as the coaches of both teams shook hands in the center of the stage, the fans of both teams at the scene also sent their most sincere blessings to both teams.

As the cheers from both sides fell, the game officially entered the Summoner's Rift.

Because this game is the first game of BO5 tonight, both teams adopted a conservative five-star consecutive position in the opening position.

Especially for the G2 team, it seems to be more "obscene". In the early stage of the combination of Yasuo and Barrel in the lower lane, it is impossible to have lane rights. Perkz Yasuo and Hilisan Barrel are all in the grass in the middle of the lower river. And he made a defensive eye position in the grass on the bottom lane.

But on the other side, BB Crocodile relied on its first-level strength to walk directly into the upper half of the jungle area of ​​the IG team, and made an attacking position in the blue buff grass in front of Theshy Ornn.

Naturally, these actions were all requested by the Dark Blind Sin, because since Prince Ning obviously has a more proactive gank ability in the early stage, their G2 team must be fully prepared for his jungle route!

However, when the first round of buffs in the entire game was about to be refreshed, one of the several opening tactics of the IG team that the G2 team had considered before the game really appeared.

That is, jungle invasion!

Relying on the fact that Asui EZ has a stronger continuous output ability at level 1 than Perkz Yasuo, at 20 minute and 2 seconds of game time, the three members of the IG team, Shimonosuke, directly got into the grass in the middle of the lower river. Then head towards the blue BUFF of the G team.

"Get ready to fight the first level group!"

Dark Lee Sin, who originally planned to single out the red BUFF in this round and then counter-crouch down the lane, made an immediate decision.

Because although Pekrz Yasuo's first-level fighting ability is indeed not as good as Asui EZ, this is the jungle area of ​​their G2 team. Caps in the middle obviously has faster support capabilities than Rookie Ryze!

So, at 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game, when the IG threesome who entered the wild area of ​​the G2 team started to fight the blue BUFF, the G2 duo who had already followed the triangular grass in the bottom lane and the Dark blind monk who had already gone around to the grass in the middle of the river, joined them. Walk towards the blue BUFF!

At the first moment, the IG trio naturally saw the G2 trio, so Prince Ning and Ah Shui EZ immediately pulled away in the direction of the toad. At the same time, Sapphire Galio charged up the W skill in an attempt to make a perfect mockery. three.

Meat bomb impact!

flash!

But Hilisang Wine Barrel didn't care about the Sapphire Blue Galio on his face. He flashed E and immediately knocked out Prince Ning marked by Dark Blind Sin!

Soundwave!

Durand Shield!

Seeing that Dark Blind Sin Q, which he could not block, directly hit Prince Ning, Sapphire Galio no longer dared to charge up, and hurriedly released his W skill, taunting both G2 to the jungle.

Although they did not successfully complete one and three, it was precisely because the two of them could not keep up with the output at the first time that on the other side, it was the two IG players who took the lead in outputting the Hilisang Wine Barrel.

And if nothing else happens, it is obvious that Hilisang Wine Barrel will die faster than Prince Ning!

"Caps, cross-dodge and get first blood!"

Seeing that the HP of Hilisang Wine Barrel was in danger, the Dark Blind Monk became a little anxious and hurriedly said to Caps.

Although the economic gap between the first blood and the second blood is only 100 yuan, it does not seem to be worth the flash that Caps Enchantress handed over.

But only Dark himself understood that the economic value of the passive skill [Anger to Take First Blood] was far more than 100 yuan.

Its value even exceeds 1000 yuan, even 10000 yuan! (End of chapter)
