Chapter 220 The ultimate headlock combination!

Everyone is looking forward to the finals.

But before the finals comes, there is still a showdown between the third and fourth place, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the finals.

Maybe the audience thinks there is nothing to argue about between third and fourth?

But for teams that want to qualify for the World Championship, it really matters...

Although there are fewer league points in the spring split, it’s better than nothing, right?

Maybe then we will only be 2 or 30 league points away from getting a World Championship ticket or qualifying for the bubble competition? ?

The two sides in the duel were EDG and RW. Even though EDG had a hard time beating RNG, when playing against RW, EDG showed its strength as the dominant player in the Western Conference.

Mouse faced EDG's offensive attack in the jungle, and was taught miserably. The poisonous coins in the middle were unable to break through the junior players to drive the team's rhythm. It was almost a replica of the game against JD.com.

RW's team-building model is afraid of encountering a team whose overall strength is stronger than its own, especially a team with a strong mid laner. As long as Poison Coin cannot stand up and drive the rhythm, RW has no chance of winning.

In the end, EDG easily defeated RW with a score of 3-1, locking in the No. 3 spot in the Spring Split, while RW was No. 4 in the Spring Split.

However, the excitement of this duel was not as high as expected.

because……

The LCK finals next door are today, and the audience is obviously trying to help JD.com study MSI's opponents in advance.

This year in the LCK can be said to be a year of major changes.

The two teams in the finals were actually KZ and the AFS African team. Those familiar faces such as SKT, Samsung, KT, etc. did not make it to the finals!
Only KZ is familiar with it, because KZ is the Dragon Ball team, but the team changed its name after changing sponsors this year.

It can be said that this LCK game has dim stars. Although everyone is familiar with the player IDs on both sides, teams like SKT and Samsung always feel that something is missing.

The reason is also very simple.

Samsung is purely targeted by the version. The deletion of the green jungle knife completely invalidates their proud vision tactics. In addition, veterans such as An Zhan are one year older. It is reasonable that the overall strength has declined.

As for SKT, they are also in the same predicament as EDG. Although the mid-to-low 96line double C, Lee Sang Hyuk and Bae Junzhi still performed well, especially Bae Junzhi. After the defeat in S7, he seemed to have worked hard to regain a lot of form.

But... the three Ueno brothers are all newcomers, especially the top laners Thal and Untara. They were given the nicknames 'T Emperor' and 'U Emperor' by fans of domestic barbecue stalls, which shows how outrageous these two people are.

EDG's team building model at that time actually copied SKT, using mid-to-bottom double C to build the team, but SKT also proved with facts that it is useless if you only have double C to be strong.

Riot Games has further accelerated the changes in the rhythm of the game, which has dealt a huge blow to the LCK division, which is mainly based on traditional operations. The two teams that entered the LCK finals this year are both teams that have a full early rhythm and a high degree of bloodshed.

Not to mention KZ, when they were called Dragon Ball last year, they looked out of place with other LCK teams.

KT originally fought very bloody, but it couldn't stand up to the fact that there were too many old men in the team.

The old captain Score and assistant Mata have been playing in the LCK since ancient times and are now standard 'old men'. The mid laner, Fat General, is suffering from a waist injury and will never be able to go back to his former self. He has been pushed out of the main force position by the new young player.

And KZ, which introduced Peanut this year, is almost a perfect replica of the S6 Tigers' lineup.

The bottom lane is still the two elders Xuan Ming, BDD in the middle has a stronger personal ability than Kuro, and top laner Khan is much better than smeb in terms of personal competitive status.

This KZ team can be regarded as a super enhanced version of the S6 Tigers. They also easily defeated the African team, won the LCK league championship, and locked in a ticket to MSI! !

at the same time.

Over in Europe, the spring finals have also come to an end.

Two traditional giants, G2 and Fnatic, fought fiercely for five games. G2 eliminated their old rivals with a score of 3-2, won the league championship and successfully advanced to MSI!

Although perkz was still crying when his old teammates were leaving the team when he was eliminated from the World Championship last year, this year he really teamed up with Europe's top laner Wunder and Europe's top jungler Jankos, and the powerful teammates brought full benefits The confidence also made me smile from the bottom of my heart! !
After the game, G2 officially promoted and did not forget to work hard!
"I heard that Mortal plays well in the middle? It's time for him to accept the test of the European King!"

It's obviously a challenge to Li Feifan, but...most domestic players regard this thing as a piece of fun, and can only lament that the European branch of the Optimistic Family is still stable and optimistic.

After everything is settled, the upcoming LPL Spring Finals will officially kick off! !
April 4th, Chengdu, the land of abundance!

The LPL finals officially begins!
…………

Li Feifan was sitting by the window of the bus. Through the window, he could see that a large number of spectators had gathered outside the competition venue. After seeing the team bus, many people took out their mobile phones and took random pictures. There were also many People quickly came over and yelled the players' names with all their strength.

The audience was still so enthusiastic. In order to prevent riots, Li Fan did not open the car window, but he did not forget to wave to the audience.

Looking back at the car, the teammates have different expressions, but it can still be seen that the two newcomers Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong are somewhat nervous. Although Jiemugong is playing in the finals for the first time, he has been a veteran for so many years.

And Casa?
He has experienced this kind of scene many times. It's just that there are more viewers on the LPL side and the momentum is greater than the LMS finals. There is no difference in essence.

"What, you two are still nervous?" Li Fan teased with a smile, "You won't be so nervous that your hands will shake during the competition later, right?"

"How could it be..." Lin Weixiang shook his head, but showed a slight lack of confidence, "Anyway, we try not to hold back, just lie down and wait for Brother Feifan to open C."

"Big eyebrows, you are not happy with your mentality." Li Feifan shook his head, "You are in the C position, how can you have the mentality of a gangster? Isn't it just Uzi? Why are you so nervous??"

"So a genius like you doesn't understand the pain of an ordinary player like me." Lin Weixiang rolled his eyes.

Just like players who are too successful in their careers are not suitable for being a head coach, think about it if Jordan was the coach and his players asked him how to handle the ball. The old gangster's backhand was very simple, jump up and throw the ball in. Just the basket is enough. Are you confused that you are one of his players?
Lin Weixiang also has the same mentality, and the opponent is Uzi! !

In China, only Li Feifan, who won the S competition, dares not to take Uzi seriously, right?
Oh, imp can be counted as one, but they also have S competition champions.

"Don't worry, you won't make mistakes if you perform normally." Li Feifan comforted, "Even if the sky falls, won't I still be there to hold it up? If the audience wants to criticize me, they will criticize me, so don't be too big. pressure."

Li Feifan can understand Xiangxiang and Songsong to a certain extent, even though he was a wallflower who couldn't help but feel nervous when he played in the finals for the first time last year.

This thing will be much better when it comes to the official competition.

As the bus approached the competition venue, the scenery on both sides of the road also changed. This year is the first year of the alliance. Tengjing has spent a lot of money to host the league finals for the first time.

League of Legends elements can be seen everywhere around the venue, and various huge posters of players from both sides can also be seen.

Li Feifan's phone vibrated twice. He took it out and saw that it was sent to him by the little rich woman.

【Come on for the finals! 】

The short sentence also included several photos. You can see a huge crowd of people next to the little rich woman, but you can see that they are all his supporters.

As the first professional player to break out of the League of Legends professional circle, more than half of the traffic in this industry has been eaten up by Li Feifan alone. Even people who don’t usually pay much attention to relevant news will see Li Feifan’s face. You can also know that he is a professional player in League of Legends.

This is the charm of breaking through the circle, and it is also a basic condition necessary for being the best in the industry.

Just like in the live broadcasting circle, there are many people who claim to be the number one brother of the platform, but there are only a few who dare to claim to be the benchmark in the live broadcasting industry. Only Grandpa Lu and a few other anchors who have successfully broken out of the industry dare to call themselves so.

Traffic is sometimes like a job, one carrot after another. People like Li Feifan who were the first to break out of the circle, as long as they don’t collapse or quit the network, it will be almost impossible for newcomers to reach the same position as him. possible.

The same is true in the live broadcast circle. There are almost no anchors who want to reach the level of people like Grandpa Lu and Da Sima, unless these two people fall.

As the bus slowly stopped in front of the venue, a large number of fans rushed over and surrounded the players, shouting and cheering.

Li Feifan and others quickly walked backstage under the cover of the on-site staff. There were too many people on site, and the staff were under great pressure and did not dare to let the contestants stay here for too long.

When we get backstage, the next step is makeup, the last rehearsal before going on stage...

After all these tedious tasks were completed, it was already approaching 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The next step is to officially go on stage!
Before taking the stage, Hongmi did not forget to tell the players, "Don't be nervous, please recall our training content in the past few days. RNG is not an invincible opponent, and you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. We must communicate more during the game and give more feedback to our teammates. As long as we can do this, we will win!"

"That's right." Li Feifan also joked with a smile, "Brother Meng must win the championship, so that my sales of champion skins can increase again. When I get the bonus, I will treat you to delicious food!"

As early as April Fool's Day on April 4st, Riot Games officially announced the original painting and some details of the S1 and IG champion skin. The champion skin will be officially sold after MSI.

As the first skin in the LPL region, it is foreseeable that the skin will be sold out, which is another huge income for Li Feifan.

After all, 25% of the sales will be given to the players.

After being teased by Li Feifan, the atmosphere in the team was not as tense as before, and everyone immediately came to the edge of the stage.

At this time, the audience was already overcrowded, and the opening ceremony was being performed on the stage. They waited patiently until the performance was over.

The lights at the scene turned on again, and all focused on the host Ren Dong, the Immortal Grip.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League Spring Finals. This is Chengdu, Sichuan!" Ren Dong still had a loud voice!

"After two and a half months of fighting, there are only two teams left out of the 14 teams. Today! They will start the final battle for the Silver Dragon Trophy that symbolizes the championship!!"

He waved his hand, "Let us invite the team to appear!!"

"First up is the 2016 Spring Split Champion, Roayl Never Give Up!" Ren Dong's voice was mellow, "Top laner letme! Jungler Mlxg, mid laner Xiaohu, bottom laner Uzi assisting ming, as well as head coach Heart and substitute ZziTai !”

There were many RNG fans at the scene, and they cheered and applauded the players on the field! !
Thanks to the gimmick marketing of the All-China class and Uzi's excellent competitive form this year, RNG did not fall behind at all even when facing the JD team, and could even compete on a par with each other.

In particular, Uzi has many personal fans. The appearance of Kai'Sa really made Uzi seem to have found his natal hero, and he played many famous scenes on the court.

The main reason is that his gaming style attracts fans very much. Many newcomers who have just started playing games this year, which is what veteran players call the first year of e-sports, are instantly attracted to him.

Uzi smiled happily, and his chubby face was very rosy. It was a normal red, not a warm red.

He clearly enjoyed the attention of the crowd.

After all RNG members appeared on the stage, Ren Dong spoke again.

“Next, let’s invite the JD team to appear!”

It's not that Ren Dong doesn't give face, the main thing is... Jingdong team's ancestors are not rich at all, and there is really no honor to win.

However, this did not prevent the audience from cheering and applauding! !

"GimGoon in the top lane, Karsa in the jungle! Mortal in the middle lane..."

When the camera showed the smiling Li Feifan, the scene burst out with the most intense cheers and applause since the opening, interrupting Ren Dong's introduction! !
Uzi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Li Feifan, his eyes full of envy.

What does it mean to be a top popular player? This is what a top fucking popular player is!

Man, it should be so!

After finally waiting for the enthusiasm of the audience to dissipate, Ren Dong continued, "Lwx assists Crisp in the bottom lane and head coach homme replaces Knight!"

The choice of substitute players on both sides makes people a little confused. RNG did not choose to use monster A because Uzi is their absolute core. It is impossible to replace Uzi and let monster A come on, right? ?

So they chose stance to rotate with Rang Di, which can enrich the team's tactical options.

But on JD.com’s side?
Li Feifan is the absolute core, why bring a substitute golden left hand?
In fact, this was JD.com's intention. Everyone saw Knight's talent, and bringing him here was not to replace Li Feifan, but to let him experience the atmosphere of the finals in advance.

Just like last year, IG would bring JackeyLove with them no matter what the game was.

After all the introductions were completed, both players stood on the stage.Ren Dong raised the microphone again, "Who can win the Silver Dragon Cup? Will it be RNG that regains its former glory, or JD.com's new king who will be crowned! Let us wait and see and witness the upcoming exciting showdown!"

The lights around the stage were turned off again, leaving only a few strong lights that were still on. Finally, they slowly gathered at the booth. The silver dragon cup on the booth shone brightly under the light!
Players from both sides began to go to the players' booth to adjust the equipment, while the pre-match trash talk was recorded in advance on the big screen!

"I have played against Casa player before. In my opinion, he is no different from the opponents I have defeated. Today I will rule the jungle!" In the picture, the spicy hot pot slowly raised his right hand, and then He clasped his fingers into a fist, "Wild monsters, heads, victory! I want them all!"

Immediately after the screen switched, Casa showed a harmless smile, "Teacher Guo is a jungler with strong offensive ability. We once called him gank machie, but... the jungle position is not limited to gank. Today I I will let Mr. Guo know what it means to be an all-round jungler! Also, before playing the game, I specifically asked the factory director for advice, and the factory director told me that when playing RNG, it is enough to catch him at two levels."

The aggression is okay, but it's actually a mockery of Mala Xiangguo who pays too much attention to gank, so his basic jungle skills are not very good. In the end, he didn't forget to play tricks.

Letme, the top laner, faced the camera and said, "I think the JimuGong players are the same type of player as me, and in terms of withstanding pressure, I don't think anyone will be more successful than me."

Letme has a stupid mouth, so she is not aggressive enough and her words are not interesting.

On the contrary, Jimu Gong had more jokes, "Since they are the same type of players, let's not call them junglers. Let's have a 1V1 real men's battle on the top lane!"

[letme: What?Is there such a good thing?A word is settled! 】

[Laughing, Rangdi probably wishes that the jungler would not come to the top lane. Teacher Guo just needs to stay in the bottom lane and help Uzi build an advantage. 】

[What a coincidence, Jimu Gong also wants Casa to live in the middle, right? 】

[These two are really matched against each other! 】

When it was Xiaohu's turn, he was wearing what fans nicknamed 'tactical goggles' with a very serious expression, "I can only say! It's spring now, it's spring! At this point in time, I'm invincible!"

emmm.

Xiaohu is indeed a bit weird. In the spring, he is always in full form, but the closer he gets to the World Championships, the more he becomes stretched. When it comes to the World Championships, it is impossible to watch him.

The Tiger Emperor of Spring is not called the Tiger Emperor for nothing.

"At 17 years old, I am the world champion and FMVP. I can't help but ask! What championship do you have? Anyway, Uzi has already won two runner-ups in a row, and he doesn't mind winning one more. I will give him a runner-up today!"

good guy...

Full of aggression, Uzi's face was red, comparable to Rambo entering an overheated state, and he hesitated, "The former champion cannot represent the current strength. I will teach JD.com a good lesson in the bottom lane!"

After the factory director retired, the trash talk session did lose a lot of fun.

Mainly, there is no grudge or relationship between JD.com and RNG, and there is no rhythm between Li Feifan and RNG.

You can't spray even if you want to.

The camera gradually shifted to the commentary box.

The baby started talking for a while, and after reading all the names of the sponsors, he got to the point.

"Let's take a look at the various data performances of the two teams first!"

"There is no doubt that JD.com is the leader in all data, and RNG's data all show that they are a team that relies on mid-to-late team battles to win, relying heavily on the carry ability of the puppy, but JD.com We also rely heavily on Mortal in the middle to set the pace."

"In fact, today can also be seen as another showdown between Puppy and Mortal. Although they are not in the same position, they are both the core players of their respective teams."

"This season the puppy is indeed in a very hot state! Whether it is pressure or average output, the puppy is the best in this playoffs. Of course, this is also due to the overall shift of RNG's tactical focus this year. Mr. Guo attacked the bottom lane more, and the puppy did not live up to his expectations."

"The various data before the game can only be used as a reference. How the specific game will turn out depends on the on-the-spot status of both sides today and some on-the-spot adjustments!"

"Without further ado, let's get into the BP session between the two parties!"

Wang remembered that he also spoke at this time, "In this final, RNG won the priority to choose the side by betting coins. RNG will choose the blue side in the first game!"

"As soon as RNG comes up, choose to send Yanja to the ban position!"

Just as Hongmi said in the pre-match analysis, RNG is particularly afraid of the opponent's middle lane getting heroes who can quickly support and roam the wings. Yanque is a typical representative.

Hongmi's backhand sent Mr. Guo's signature hero Prince to the ban position.

RNG's second ban position is given to Tahm, which is almost a clear sign that they want to attack the bottom lane. Tahm's protective ability is too strong, so it is best to ban him directly.

JD.com banned Ryze, and Redmi didn’t want to give such a versatile character to its opponent.

In the last move, RNG chose to ban Jess.

The suspense lies in JD.com’s final move. Should they ban Kai’Sa? ?

"Coach Hongmi seems to be hesitating. Do you want me to tell you that you really shouldn't hesitate?" Miller reminded, "EDG in the semifinals have already tried their best. Uzi's Kai'Sa really needs to be banned, right?"

however……

JD.com did not ban him, but chose to ban Aoun.

Thus.

It's equivalent to saying that Kaisha has been released! !
There was an uproar at the scene.

"Should RNG grab it? There is no doubt that Puppy's Kai'Sa carry ability, but JD.com knew this and still chose to release it. Is it a scam??"

The RNG team is indeed struggling and hesitating about this.

Coach Hongmi’s reputation is well-known, but he actually chose to release Kai’Sa. Could it be a fraud? ?
This made RNG very confused. Seeing the time passing by, Uzi said directly, "Give it to me. No lineup can limit my Kai'Sa!"

He indeed has great trust in himself, and his recent continued high performance has also put Uzi's self-confidence at the highest point!
Even Uzi spoke, and Heart had nothing to say.

Lock down Kai'Sa directly!

"Ah! I chose! RNG didn't hesitate. They chose to believe in Kai'Sa's carry ability, so they just grabbed it!!"

The blue side's grab is worth thousands of gold. This is the blue side's biggest advantage in the BP stage. It can be said that the whole team is placing their treasure on Uzi.

Jingdong backhand locked the combination of Qinggangying + Luo Nosuke.

"Having Kai'Sa in exchange for the strength of Nosuke's combination is really not a loss," Miller said eloquently, "And Qinggangying can lock heads!"

"Let's take a look at RNG's choices. Their favorite system is Kai'Sa + Ornn. Ornn is banned and can no longer be used. How to choose?"

RNG's choice was the mid-field combination of Zhumei + Galio, while JD.com's third choice was not surprisingly Xia.

The two sides entered the second round of BP. JD.com chose to focus on the bottom lane support and banned Niutou and Braum.

"Wow, it seems that JD.com is indeed going to hedge against RNG."

RNG continues to focus on Li Feifan's possible choices in the middle, banning vampires and witches.

As a result, Jingdong directly locked the card master with a backhand! !

As soon as this hero came out, everyone at the scene was shocked! !
"Huh?? A card?" Miller and others stared with astonished expressions.

As a representative hero of the ancient global flow and rhythmic mid laner, Card Master has left the stage of professional competitions for a long time.

The reason is also very simple.

As soon as there are better high-level substitutes, Rock Bird, and the revised Galio, the playing space of the card is instantly squeezed.

And there is one more question! !

"No... a new generation player like Mortal can also play this kind of old school hero?" Wang remembered and joked with a smile.

The new generation of players will not be able to play the old heroes of the past. This is a joke, but it is also a reality.

Because the mechanism of new heroes is to be stronger than old heroes, there is no reason for players to leave stronger heroes without practicing, right?

And heroes like cards require a lot of practice before you can play the essence.

It really surprised everyone that a player born in the 00s like Li Feifan could actually take out a hand of cards!
[Hey guys, it turns out that the last card of LPL is my brother Feifan! 】

[Just kidding, there is no hero that my brother Feifan can’t play. 】

[Guigui, card + Qinggangying, this wave of ultimate headlock? ? 】

[This...Ka'Sa really can't fly, right? 】

RNG was also surprised. In fact, the hero to suppress cards is easy to choose, that is Nightmare, but they have already taken out Pig Girl first.

Think of this...

Heart suddenly looked very ugly, and he thought of something.

Could it be that JD.com’s Qinggang Shadow is used by top orders?
They had previously been attracted too much attention by Li Feifan's mid laner Qing Gangying, but they had ignored it.

For most normal teams...

Qinggangying is the hero who swings in the upper, middle and jungle positions. Only JD.com can make Qinggangying swing in the three positions of upper, middle and jungle!

If so.

Shen, the top lane hero that Heart originally wanted to choose, couldn't come up with it. Galio was already countered by Counter, so why choose Shen, who was countered by Counter? ?
But he still dared not take the gamble, because as soon as the combination of Shen + Galio came out, even if Jingdong didn't have the idea of ​​​​choosing Nightmare, they would choose Nightmare for the counter without hesitation.

no way……

RNG can only lock Gnar + Japanese girl backhand.

As expected, it was as expected.

JD.com chose Nightmare as its jungler in the last move, swinging Qinggangying to the top lane!

If so.

The lineup of the two sides has also been officially determined.

RNG is on the blue side and JD.com is on the red side.

Top road: Gnar VS Qinggang Shadow.

Jungler: Pig Girl VS Nightmare.

Mid lane: Galio VS Card.

Bottom lane: Kai'Sa + Japanese girl VS Xayah + Luo!
PS: I was just wondering...will there be an LPL civil war this year?I feel like I have some hope.
