Alliance: The Wind Goes On!I play AD on Weibo

Chapter 289 The end of the championship lineup

The time of the quarterfinals is still not friendly to the domestic audience. The game starts at 6 pm US time, when the domestic talents are just beginning to shine.

At the entrance of WBG's training room, people kept coming and going.

Although Mai Zijian specially announced a day off last night to relieve the emotions of the players for the tense game that had just ended, everyone still gathered together as the game was approaching.

Gu Chuan got up early in the morning and played the US server RANK. He felt that it was almost time and took a shower. He took his small notebook and came over in advance to find the best seat to watch the game.

Today's winner will be their official opponent in the semi-finals. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

"Brother Chuan, which side do you think has a better chance of winning?" Weiwei looked at the unoccupied sofa and lay down horizontally, touching the dazed Gu Chuan next to him with his elbow.

He was a little confused inside.

Once EDG wins, the semi-finals will definitely usher in a civil war. When the civil war begins, EDG has no shortage of methods to kill them. In the end, if they win, they will be defeated by XQS and XMM.

Even if it comes to S12, it is still not strange for Hupu.

But it is impossible to hope that GEN will win. Any normal professional player cannot bear to watch the team in his own division be eliminated like this.

"I want EDG to win, but their understanding of the version in the group stage is too backward. It also depends on whether coach Maokai has a design in BP."

Gu Chuan looked up at GEN's makeup photo on the big screen, thoughtfully.

Based on the videos of the first two rounds of the group stage, he could vaguely see that GEN's understanding of the World Championship version has evolved to a new level in terms of drafting and operations. The ruler has intentionally or unintentionally reduced the frequency of selecting large-core AD. The entire team Begin to shift the tactical focus to the top half and find ways to let Chaowei and Dolan take over the game.

EDG's playing style still retains its previous habits. The top jungler uses several tools in turns, relying on the personal ability of jungler Jiejie to try to drag the game into the late stage to let the big core double C work.

Even if there is an occasional exchange of tool players in the upper, middle and jungle positions, this style of play is almost EDG's BP template, which has been changed over the years.

Different from the past, the S12 World Championship is the first time in recent years that the two top divisions LPL and LCK have collided with game concepts!

Faced with the enhanced attributes of Xiaolong Dragon Soul and the secondary weakening of Canyon Pioneer, most teams in the LPL have chosen the team-fighting route, using a large amount of development and team-fight control heroes, with the main focus being a mid-term team-fight victory.

But LCK has a completely different idea this year. Led by two independent teams, T1 and DRX, they have gradually shown new understandings and choices.

That is to focus on the strength of the line, and even give up some necessary factors for team battles, and use the ultimate line power and single-band involvement to link up, so that the opponent has no chance to pick up Xiaolong in the team fight, in order to achieve a goal of surrender without fighting. The effect of human soldiers.

"Let's order first!"

A sudden voice from outside the door drew Gu Chuan's attention back. Danny, dressed in a suit, walked in with a heroic aura, followed by two familiar figures.

"I am back again!"

Li Yuanhao's voice was slightly hoarse and his face was a bit pale, but he looked much better than the dying look he had a few days ago.

"Brother! I miss you so much!" Weiwei jumped up from the sofa and hugged his good brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"You haven't been here these past few days, and I don't think about food or tea!"

"Don't mess with me, let go, let go."

Liu Qingsong, who was struggling hard, said he was impatient, but he could tell from the smile on his face that he was in a happy mood.

After several checks to confirm that the condition had turned negative, Riot Games officials finally approved the end of their "sentence" and were released from the closed single room.

Cheng Lu also came forward. He was not good at words and didn't know how to express his concern. He just stood by and rubbed his hands to express his happiness.

"How do you feel? What did the doctor say?" Gu Chuan looked at his teammates with a smile, stood up naturally and closed the open window next to him.

"Cough cough!"

"It's much better, but my throat feels a little uncomfortable when speaking." Xiaohu rubbed his nose and said bitterly with a thick nasal voice, "I just don't know if there are any sequelae. I heard that the third leg may not be used."

This topic caused laughter from the training team next to him. As a happy comedian, Li Yuanhao's focus is always different than ordinary people.

"Don't worry about your legs. Let's connect the brain first."

Weiwei lay down again and said with a faint smile: "The video clips of you being singled out several times online yesterday are already popular on a certain website."

"There's nothing I can do about it. What others say about me is right. I have to practice more."

"here we go!"

Just as Gu Chuan was about to join in the teasing, Dani's reminder drew his eyes back to the screen.

I hadn't noticed just now, but the BP on the screen had already reached the end of the first round. When he saw those familiar heroes, Gu Chuan couldn't help but frown.

As the blue side, EDG had no problem grabbing the Czar first, and could play an offensive rhythm around the center lane. However, on the crucial second and third floors, Maokai chose to take down Aphelios and Garuru's development system, and the entire second half of the confrontation Sex is almost zero.

As the No. 1 seed in the LCK, GEN naturally would not miss such a great opportunity. They locked the skateboard shoes and paired it with Lenata to form a laning combination. At the same time, they grabbed the mid laner Silas for Chaowei, which directly laid the foundation for a strong laning.

"Why can the other side get Silas on the third floor?" Liu Qingsong couldn't help complaining.

Even Silver players who only play Brawl are aware of how strong the current version of Sylas is.

With the extremely suitable mythical outfit Yongshuang and the super recovery of a W skill in a few seconds, coupled with the flexible application of the ultimate move in different scenarios, he can be called the most comprehensive mid laner hero since S12.

Usually teams will choose this kind of T0 hero as the first choice or first ban, but EDG can actually prioritize it near the second round.

"Maokai's focus is still on the bottom lane. He believes that Scout's laning ability is enough to suppress Chovy, even if the opponent gets Sylas."

With the reference memory of the EDG team's voice in his previous life, Gu Chuan easily guessed the thoughts of the EDG training team.

There is nothing wrong with adhering to one's own style of play and operation, but using one person's power to fight against version changes is obviously an act that shakes the world.

There was no suspense at this point in BP. The two sides then added some unimportant auxiliary tools, and the first game quickly kicked off in front of the audience.

However, the first game was more boring than expected.

From the beginning, GEN easily got its own line rights in the bottom lane, and constantly used the radiation in the bottom lane to put pressure on EDG's Aphelios to develop. The little peanut turned into a Wangfu stone and sat in the bottom half, taking control when the point was reached. Xiaolong, when he was bored, he went to the middle and tried to GANK.

Both sides are masters of operations. When GEN got into their own rhythm, they even regained the familiar feeling of eating, sleeping, and playing T1, and each player's operations became more and more agile.

EDG's counterattack rhythm completely relies on Jiejie.

However, he was completely involved in the line rights in the lower lane, and he could only be forced to follow the stuck in the lower half and perform counter-crouching, not daring to leave even an inch.

The head ratio of the two sides in the middle increased alternately. Although relying on the strength of EDG's own players, the economic gap between the two sides did not widen too much, but in only 25 minutes they ushered in the opponent's suspension dragon.

Aphelios and Tsar, who were not fully developed, could only be forced to take over the team. GEN relied on the strong phase of the Selaska Pig Girl to enter the team in a double team, and rushed into the enemy's formation with a desperate momentum, leading to a two-for-five team fight. , completely established the victory in the first game.

The score came to 1-0 in the blink of an eye.

"This is gone?!"

Weiwei shouted as if waking up from a dream.

He originally thought he could learn some experience from it, but EDG's failure was like a pre-arranged script, without any ripples.

Overall, after watching it, I feel like I haven’t watched it at all.

"GEN, as the No. 1 seed in the LCK, fully implements the coach's BP ideas and style of play to the end,"

Liang Daren pushed the black frame and explained the reason slowly, "The small twists and turns in the middle will not affect the continuation of Dragon Soul. As long as the snowball continues, it will only be a matter of time before they win."

"This will put EDG in danger."

Gu Chuan tapped his fingers on the table.

The first game of BO5 is all about morale and routines. If the opponent loses the first game, the second game will become crucial. No matter what, EDG must try their best to score a point, otherwise Falling on the edge of a cliff is likely to cause mental and operational problems.

Letting two chase three is not as simple as imagined.

"If we face GEN, we can find a way to create a breakthrough from the top lane." Gu Chuan noticed a detail during this period, "Dolan's laning ability is a bit weak, and the holy gun brother did not press much but also hit the last hit." There is a gap."   In the solo ranking in the LPL of S12, Holy Spear Brother can only be regarded as the second eldest among the blue collars. Compared with the fierce single lane BIN on the top lane, Ale, Cheng Lu and Breath are several notches behind.

But even with this level of Holy Spear brother, he can hit 46 against Dolan. Obviously, Dolan's laning ability will only be effective on Zeus.

"Good strategy."

"You can give it a try and try to exchange the Sword Demon."

Danni started writing and drawing on the tactical panel. Cheng Lu next to her heard that it was related to her and came over excitedly.

The two of them whispered together.

During their discussion, the game between the two sides soon reached the second game.

Although EDG is on the blue side this time, they didn't make many changes in BP. They continued to use the same strategy and disabled some effects that were difficult to deal with.

Apparently they think the main reason for failure is not about BP.

And Samsung is also happy to see it,

Since the opponents are so stubborn, why not do it if they can expose a little less.

The same BP happened again, but in the last two hands, EDG finally took out the ultimate move that it said had been hidden for a long time—

Soraka and Wheel Mom!

The wheel pusher's ability to push the line can not only ensure the early line rights, but also ensure the role of the big core in the later stage. Combined with the nurse's recovery ability, it can be said to be able to withstand pressure in the lane.

After seeing this scene, Gu Chuan helplessly covered his forehead.

EDG is completely changing the soup without changing the medicine. After a long time, they still have a large core in the middle and bottom lane to match the development lineup, but they have adjusted it to be more restrained against aggressive heroes.

Seeing their opponents changing positions, GEN, who had the red backhand, also decisively changed their strategy.

With his backhand, he got a POKE lineup. The top laner Jayce was paired with AD Verus. The cunning Chaowei directly switched the rhythm mode and selected Ryze who pushed the lane and roamed to cooperate with the pig girl of Peanut.

At the end, when the lineups of both sides were laid out, the little knights of EDG felt uneasy again.

As some false god once said,

I didn’t even know how to win after seeing that lineup. I just picked these heroes who were good at playing. After taking a look, I couldn’t beat them in a lane or in a team fight.

But in any case, the game must continue.

After a short loading period, the battle between the two parties entered a fierce stage.

The slow-burning Jiejie finally started to exert his strength, and he was able to take kills occasionally. Pioneer and Xiaolong also controlled one each.

Although the other team members did not do much, they withstood the pressure during the laning period and developed steadily.

However, just when the Knights were relieved, the plan of the GEN coaching team finally took effect.

When the game entered the middle stage, Jayce and Verus, who had entered the strong period of the two-piece set, began to exert their strength. Wave after wave of offensive rhythms, EDG was beaten with nowhere to parry and could only choose to give up a large number of neutrals. Support, enter the stage of waiting for the three-piece set.

Unfortunately, what they waited for failed. As soon as the Baron refreshed GEN, five people decisively opened the baron. EDG had insufficient personnel and was forced to rush to take over the team. Once again, the opponent's team was destroyed in the Baron pit.

Five minutes later, the bright red word "failure" came into the audience's eyes.

At the final desperate situation of 2-0, EDG, standing on the edge of the cliff, remembered that their approach was really not good, and wanted to change the formation on the spot.

Maokai once again had an idea. On the fifth floor, the top laner Holy Spear brought out the Weapon Master that he had not played all season, trying to reverse the top lane's form and use it as a basis to fight against Dolan Crocodile.

But if you don’t work hard at ordinary times, it’s not that easy to improvise.

When the third game reached 10 minutes, even Weiwei, who has always been big-minded, could clearly see that Li Xuanjun was not accustomed to the local environment, but he could not say anything.

After all, if a tool player who has been playing for the whole season suddenly changes to playing single-core and single-band, no one can change immediately.

Occasionally, you can see the weapon master suddenly wandering into the middle and bottom lanes, unknowingly delaying a lot of his development time.

In addition, Jiejie's tactical focus is still habitually biased toward the lower half. After being targeted several times by Little Peanut, the development of Holy Gun Brother inevitably widened the gap with Dolan.

"Not alone enough."

Cheng Lu just made a simple comment, then lowered her head and continued playing with her phone.

This style of play has no reference value for him.

the other side.

Scout, who has always had high hopes from fans, started to feel dizzy. Not only did he fail to take advantage, but he was also beaten by Chaowei for consecutive solo kills because he was too impatient!

In only the first 15 minutes of the third game, the entire first half of EDG fell. Only the viper and the girl control who were left in the road were still struggling to support themselves, trying to replicate their previous comeback against the wind.

Unfortunately this version has long since changed.

When the game came to 18 minutes, the crucial third card-drawing dragon, Aphelios, who had been developing for a long time, was killed in mid-air by a combo of GEN Ueno's moves before he could even make an A move. This completely proved that EDG was gone!

They can't defeat the team in a team or lead alone. They want to find a breakthrough but lack the key hard support of LPL as a weapon. There is no room for a comeback in the future.

"It's over! King Chi lost his base with one basic attack point. Congratulations to GEN for defeating EDG in the quarter-finals and getting their second ticket to the semi-finals!"

Guan Zeyuan's familiar voice came from the speaker next to him, and he could feel his excitement from it.

Compared with the pain of letting two chase three, the suffering this time did not last long. The third game ended abruptly in only 27 minutes, and EDG's crystal hub shattered along with the hearts of the fans.

A standard dragon team, blocking the key C-position three-piece set to hit two and a half pieces, and easily ended the game with a wave of five GEN.

Until the end, Aphelios still couldn't take out the three-piece suit, and all EDG's plans were stillborn.

This process made no sense, and Gu Chuan opened his phone out of boredom.

Looking at the hot searches on Weibo, the first one is the red headline about EDG being zero-blocked.

【Smashed! Smash you! Five people! And in front of so many audiences! Can't even win a game! Still pretending to be the S11 champion lineup, disgusting! too disgusting! 】

[After all, it’s three to zero, so I can do it. 】

[EDG is only the fourth seed, so it’s not unfair if they lose. At least they have something GEN can do. 】

【What was typed? Did it give the opponent confidence? 】

[It’s so damn good. I keep boasting about the invincibility of the mid laner every day. Why doesn’t my mother say anything? 】

[Don’t worry, EDG is actually hiding something. 】

The discussion on the forum about today's loss in the game instantly overshadowed yesterday's hot search for WBG. Suddenly all the firepower on the Internet was attracted by the EDG players, which to some extent saved Xiaohu's life.

"Okay! Now our opponent has been determined."

Danny slapped the table and stood up, "Normal training matches will resume tomorrow afternoon. I have made an appointment with the Top Fighter team in advance. Please take it seriously."

"The next focus is how to solve the problem of mid-jungle linkage. In addition, Xiaohu, your hero pool needs to continue to expand. Let's work hard together!"

"No problem, coach."

Li Yuanhao responded in a deep voice.

This year may be the last chance for his career. If he misses it, he may just miss the S-match trophy for the rest of his life.
