LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right.?

Chapter 178 Chen Yiqiu: Report, I will write an application, Uzi: Failed

[Laugh, keep laughing! 】

[It’s over, send it! 】

[No way, you are so unlucky that you happen to have one LCK team per person? 】

[That’s it. Congratulations to LPL for stopping in the quarterfinals for the Nth time! 】

[Why is the puppy's face so red? Don't show shyness, be whiter! 】

[Chen Sheng smiled, now he really has revenge and revenge. 】

[RNG: I have only one request, be gentle. 】

Surprised, reviled, broken guard.

What is a prophecy? This is a true prophecy!

Not long ago, Puppy and the factory director were joking about predicting their top eight opponents, but they turned out to be exactly the same.

When EDG plays ROX, I can already imagine what it will be like for the factory manager to face one of the protagonists of this year's S-game, the world's top carnivorous jungler Xiaoxiao.

And RNG played SKT.

As the old saying goes, enemies never get together.

This year, RNG's overall strength and performance in the group stage are the best team in the LPL division. Therefore, everyone in the LPL agrees that if they have a good draw and good luck, they have a chance to advance to the semi-finals.

But now they are facing SKT in the quarterfinals. It can only be said that just by seeing the team name, you can feel the pressure of "Prime Minister".

MSI’s five captures of RNG are still fresh in my mind!

……

on the stage.

The puppy smiled reluctantly, while Chen Yiqiu was relatively calm. After the handshake was over, the two returned to their positions. Soon after, they all finished and returned to the backstage.

"Okay, if you didn't cheat in the draw of the top eight, I wouldn't be able to do it. Tell me, did you cast the spell in private?"

Pei Junzhi went crazy with joy backstage after seeing the lottery results.

When Chen Yiqiu comes back, he will be caught and questioned immediately.

"I'm such a stingy person."

Chen Yiqiu was speechless.

Why does he always have such a villainous temperament in the eyes of his teammates?

"RNG's strength is still good, much better than at MSI, and Uzi's laning ability in the bottom lane is very strong."

Lee Sang Hyuk gave a very fair evaluation.

Chen Yiqiu nodded, this is correct.

In another world, RNG has created several famous memes, similar to Zyra the Windspeaker and Uzi the Invincible.

But the latter is obviously talking about team battles.

In the four BO5 games against SKT in the top eight, RNG not only had no disadvantage in the early laning in the bottom lane, but also had an advantage. In the third game, there was even an online double kill of Bang+Wolf.

But in team battles, Uzi is far inferior to Bang. Various mistakes are infinitely magnified by the robot Bang, and there are even outrageous operations such as flashing and hitting the wall.

Therefore, when facing RNG again, you cannot be careless, especially in the early game.

In this version with fierce competition for resources in the early and mid-term, there is a reason why RNG can take off this year.

"I'm not worried about RNG. The main thing is that we are in the same half zone as ROX, which is a bit bad."

Coach Kkoma pointed to the groupings of the quarterfinals.

SKT and ROX are both in the left half, which means that if SKT and ROX both advance to the semi-finals, they are destined to become each other's semi-final opponents.

——The two teams that are the biggest favorites to win the championship this year are going to meet before the finals?

The whole world was probably happy to hear it, and the officials probably laughed like crazy when they saw this draw.

"ROX playing EDG...I don't think it's a challenge."

The venomous Li Zaiwan commented.

Then everyone stopped thinking about it, packed up their things, returned to the hotel, and started preparing for the quarterfinals four days later.

The semi-finals are something that will happen later, so we should prepare for the quarter-finals first.

Many teams will never be able to break through to the quarterfinals in their lifetime, and every year when the S competition reaches the quarterfinals, it enters the real intense and climax stage.

A bigger stage has already opened for them.

……

Hotel, RNG room.

"What is supposed to come...will always come."

Bai Xing's eyes were complicated, and there was a dull pain in his heart.

He also didn't expect that RNG would actually meet SKT in the crucial quarter-finals.

If RNG is eliminated because of SKT this year and falls in the quarterfinals, ruining a whole year's hard work and the dynasty it has been 'building' collapses, he feels like he will go crazy.

Today's results, today's repayment...could this be karma?

Chen Yiqiu, are you my nemesis?

"...There is no doubt that our laning is no problem. Uh...you have to pay attention to the little tiger in the middle. Faker is in very good form recently. Don't let him find any opportunities."

The new LOL branch manager introduced by RNG in the summer game, the former EDG manager Sanshao, is seriously doing "front deployment" and ideological work.

Su Xiaofei has changed his position and is also listening.

Third Shao continued: "On paper, our disadvantage is... maybe in the top lane and the middle lane, which will be slightly inferior, but in fact, our players are not much weaker than them, right?"

The RNG players below heard the sound and nodded.

"Our bottom lane is even stronger against the lane, which is more in line with the trend of this version."

"So, what we need to strengthen is the core aspect that is weaker than SKT - team fighting."

"In the past few days during the offseason, we need to train specifically on SKT's teamfighting habits, as well as our cooperation and tacit understanding in teamfights..."

"In short, don't be discouraged. The game has not started yet. If we can beat SKT or even eliminate the opponent, then we can also hope to compete for this year's world championship!"

I have to say that although Third Young Master likes to keep diaries, his vision is still good.

He accurately discovered the biggest point where RNG is currently weaker than SKT, namely team battles and operations.

Although their personal abilities are strong, they have tactics and methods to make up for it. For example, when ANX played SKT, they did a very good job of containing Reaper, which set an example for professional teams around the world.

But team battle is a game and cooperation between five people. This is the most difficult to change and the biggest gap.

Therefore, RNG set a goal and had ambitions to take revenge, win against SKT, eliminate the 'traitor' Chen Yiqiu, and aim for the championship.

This 'big picture' starts tonight!

In this way, throughout the offseason, the eliminated teams have begun to purchase products and go home. Some stayed to help advance to the quarterfinals, and teams with good relationships played training matches.

The eight strong teams that advanced to the quarter-finals did not take a break and were all busy preparing for the game.

Time flies, and four days pass in the blink of an eye.

10 month 14 number.

The opening day of the quarterfinals of the 2016 Global Finals.

On this day, everyone in SKT was dressed in red and came to a completely unfamiliar venue.

--Chicago Theater.

This is the venue for this year's quarterfinals. From San Francisco to Chicago, SKT doesn't have much time to hang out. It's preparing to have fun in the evening if it advances to the semifinals today.

There were huge crowds of people outside the venue, and the streets were empty.

Everyone in SKT got off the VIP channel in a low-key manner, walked backstage, and began to prepare for the game.

……

at the same time.

domestic.

It's half past three in the morning.

The most tiring and sleepy time of the day, today is extremely lively.

Countless students, working white-collar workers, and company bosses who have already started school have been woken up by alarm clocks.

They have something in common today, their expectations - the first BO5 in the quarterfinals, SKT vs RNG.

They want to witness the biggest event of the year and hope that RNG can take revenge on SKT, break through the top eight in the LPL division that has not broken through in two years, and advance to the semi-finals.

The popularity of live broadcast rooms such as Mouyu and Huya exploded, and anchors from various major sections of LOL began to broadcast in advance. They stayed up all night.

When the time came to four o'clock in the morning, the grand opening ceremony of the top eight began and ended.

Ten players from SKT and RNG took the stage, and the first quarterfinal BO5 game officially began.

In this game, SKT is on the blue side and RNG is on the red side.

As soon as they came up, SKT targeted Uzi and banned the policewoman who he had been very hot in recently and had a high winning rate, and then the jungler, Poppy.

The ban players on RNG's side have also changed a bit, banning Jace, Sword Lady, and Syndra respectively.

Ike was released.

"In this case...Reaper might choose Ike first. Wouldn't this ban be too...not good?"

The LPL commentary team today is extremely 'luxurious', with Guan Zeyuan remembering Rita as the commentator, Doll Miller as the commentator, and the specially invited guest commentator, the eliminated IM boss Chou Kai.

At this moment, seeing RNG releasing Ike, the commentator who only looked at the surface felt a little panicked.

After all, Reaper's Ike has a good reputation. Is there something wrong with banning him?

"Actually, it's okay... Ryze has also been released. There's a high probability of one person on both sides?"

Miller noticed Ryze as a hero.

——For the current SKT team, Ryze is definitely regarded as the 'powerful weapon', and the stories of the God King and the Demon King are still being circulated to this day.

Sure enough, after the ban ended, SKT immediately grabbed Ryze. It is very necessary to get this hero first, especially since Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk have been in great form recently, so they are very suitable for swinging.

However, RNG did not directly capture Ekko as everyone thought. They directly acquired Jhin + Zyra, the already hot bottom lane combination in the current World Championship.

This is a very strong combination in the early stage, basically equal to version T0 level.

"Jhin and Zyra...there's nothing wrong with them. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this selection."

Baby's face relaxed, and he couldn't help but praise and boast: "RNG's BP idea is still very clear, and they must amplify the 'strength' of their bottom lane."

"Yes, there is no doubt about Puppy's personal ability. After a whole summer of training this year, the combination with Mata is now the world's top bottom lane. The strength of the early laning is very scary."

Miller praised Uzi without hesitation and bluntly stated how powerful he is.

On the other side, Kkoma saw that Jhin and Zyra were gone, so he didn't have much emotion, because he had thought about this when he was robbing Ryze.

SKT then took Vayne + Fan Ma with both hands.

Yes, Vayne + Fan Mom.

???

"SKT, what do you mean?! Vayne? Just locked it!"

"Fan Mom... Vayne, including Ryze just now, which way are they going?!"

In the current version, Fan Mom can move in the middle or move up, and Ryze can do the same.

And...in addition to the mid-to-upper level, in the second round of the group stage, the auxiliary effect of Fan Mom also seemed to be good!

In other words, among the three options that SKT has determined, Fan Ma can swing in the upper, middle, and lower directions, while Ryze is swinging in the upper, middle, and is still not sure whether to take it.

As for the rest of Vayne...

In this version, can Vayne go down the road? !

This hero has zero appearance rate in several versions. Because of being flat and weakened several times, she is not even an unpopular, and the sewers are a bit flattering to her.

Of course, more importantly...

Opposite is RNG and Uzi. Are you sure SKT wants to play like this?

【? ? Provocative, right? SKT? 】

[It must have been instigated by Reaper! 】

[Chen Sheng, are you bored? Are you asking Bang to use Wei En to beat the puppy? 】

【Have you written the application? 】

[Playing Vayne in front of Uzi, isn’t this playing tricks in front of Guan Gong? 】

Since S6 is the explosive period of league traffic this year, the first batch of "first-year fans" have been introduced. Everyone's impression of Uzi now is that Vayne is the world's number one, and Vayne is Uzi's signature hero.

The degree of intimacy between them is even better than that between Chen Yiqiu and Jace and Jian Ji.

Especially many Uzi fans, they believe that the hero Vayne is sacred and great, and only a great god can control it. Other ADCs and players will be instantly locked in such a competition...

Provocation, this must be a provocation!

"SKT?"

"Well…"

"Puppy, why don't you prove yourself?"

"We can't let Vayne turn into someone else's shape."

RNG competition room.

When everyone saw this scene, they also felt sorry for the new big daddy and the puppy, and they all made fun of him.

At this time, Uzi had a bad temper. Similarly, sometimes there was too much publicity outside, and he himself regarded Vayne as his 'forbidden love'.

This is understandable. When Chen Yiqiu encounters an opponent who locks Jess and hammers him, he will definitely have a strange desire to win in his heart.

He exhaled and calmed down slightly, but he was determined that no matter who was playing Vayne in this game, he would make the opponent look good.

"But...which way are they going to go? Should Ryze go up or in the middle? Will Fan Mom be the support, the mid laner, or the top laner?"

"Even Vayne, I think it is impossible for Vayne to go down in this version. There is a chance that she will be on the top lane, or even the middle lane... this..."

Three heroes, three ways swing?

Coach Fly was completely confused.

RNG prepared a lot of things for SKT in the offseason, but now as BP in the first game, he felt the pressure from Kkoma.

The first three players were chosen, but not even a single position was determined.

Who can stand this?

RNG, which was originally on the red side and had Counter capabilities, had no way to start.

"...I think we should proceed as we prepared before the game. No matter what they take, we can play."

Xiaohu then made a suggestion: "Otherwise, with Reaper and Faker's hero pool, even if five heroes are fixed, we can temporarily change them."

"It can only be the."

The coach nodded.

At this moment, he deeply felt how outrageous the team's tactical reserves and BP flexibility were when the team had one or more heroes.

In the fourth move, RNG decided to take Shen on the top order.

This choice made everyone outside the world shine.

"Yes, Shen's choice is very good. Whether facing top laner Vayne, Ryze, or even Fan Mom, Shen has the power to fight...RNG is also prepared."

Wawa is firing on all cylinders: "Staying the same in response to all changes, I think this BP idea is very beautiful!"

Crash.

There were LPL fans cheering in the audience.

SKT laughed when they saw this pick.

"Then follow the previous tactics."

"If Shen... that's fine, it's a pity that the big tree was released and the other side was not taken."

Chen Yiqiu nodded.

After SKT is confirmed, they will choose two players, and RNG will take the final jungler Lee Sin.

At this point, the lineups of both sides have been completely settled, as follows:

Blue side SKT: top laner Vayne, jungler Olaf, mid laner Ryze, bottom lane EZ+Fan Ma.

Red side RNG: top laner Shen, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Vampire, bottom lane Jhin + Zyra.

In the end, SKT swung Vayne to the top lane, with Lee Sang-hyeok playing Ryze and Fan Mom assisting.

Looking at the entire lineup, we can see that the ability to drive the rhythm in the early and mid-term is good, but it lacks team starting points, and there is no real front row, so Olaf can only rely on Olaf in the later stage to make up for it.

In contrast, RNG's lineup is more comprehensive. At least in the eyes of the outside world, there is no shortage of front-row control at the beginning of the team, and it outputs a big C in the late stage and a version of T0.

"Let's not talk about strength or weakness. From a lineup perspective, I personally think we have a complete advantage."

Wawa was very cautious when speaking, afraid of being scolded, but he continued: "At this point in Vayne's journey, I don't understand what Reaper is going to do."

"If I remember correctly, Vayne can't play the bottom lane now, and it's still acceptable to take the middle lane. After all, the middle lane is short."

"But the top lane is such a long one, and the most critical point is that Vayne is a pure AD shooter. SKT seriously lacks front row and team starting points, and Vayne is not strong in the early stage of this version, which does not meet the requirements of competing for resources in the early and mid-term. characteristic."

Choukai naturally didn't like SKT, which eliminated his own team, and analyzed the pros and cons of both sides' lineups from all aspects.

The answer is, SKT can't do it, but RNG can.

In fact, if you consider it from a version and lineup perspective, what they said is not wrong.

only…

If we just look at things on paper, is the game still necessary? Just award the championship directly.

Entering the game, work well with your teammates in the second half of the jungle, this is what Chen Yiqiu was thinking when he came online.

Top laner Vayne was an idea he proposed during the offseason, in order to restrain teams like RNG that like to play tanky top laners.

Because although the hero Vayne is currently very 'weak', she has the highest percentage damage in the entire league. No matter how much HP or armor the opponent's tanks have, they can't stand up to Vayne.

In other words, in the S6 version, top laner Vayne exists just to cut meat.

And his thinking is different from others.

Who said Vayne can't be in the front row and can't produce meat?

At the current time of S6, long-hand laners have not yet 'ravaged the professional arena', and the only record is that of Lucian, who Chen Yiqiu once played.

Vayne's outfit and ideas are completely different from the trend brought by TheShy in the future.

This is a set of playing methods that Chen Yiqiu adjusted himself according to the version.

When going out to equip the Dolan Shield, the first piece of equipment is attack speed shoes. The current version of the attack speed shoes increases the attack speed by 35%. Vayne's Q matches the movement speed of the attack speed shoes, making it very difficult to kite.

After that, I used the Ice Hammer small piece Purple Rain Forest Fist to transition. It only costs 1200 gold coins, which is very cost-effective and adds attack and HP.

The core equipment in the mid-term is the attack speed shoe Ice Hammer Destruction. Ice Hammer is the core of the 'meat equipment Vayne'.

The large health bonus gives Vayne enough survivability in the early stage, and the passive 30% slowdown combined with the displacement of Vayne's Q skill means that most top lane tank heroes without displacement cannot touch Vayne at all.

It is both meaty and outputting, and paired with the main W with the highest damage percentage in the league. After it is broken, the meaty Vayne will become a front-row monster in the mid-term that is flexible, meaty, and has extremely high output.

——This is a very non-mainstream alternative 'heavy warrior', an alternative ultimate move. She has great shortcomings, because it requires extremely high requirements on the operator and requires extremely strong personal operation ability. Once it is missed, it will be a godsend. Ghostly gap.

But what Chen Yiqiu is most confident about and lacks most is operational ability, isn't it?

Chen Yiqiu thinks it is very suitable to use Vayne, the 'heavy warrior' who has not yet made a big splash and is unknown to anyone, to deal with the first battle of the S game between RNG and Uzi. It will definitely give the whole world a surprise.

The only bad thing is that he originally wanted to use Vayne to hit the big tree, but unfortunately, RNG didn't take the bait.

Shen's W is somewhat restrained to three-ring heroes, and it does not lack control and damage. How to kill the opponent online, Chen Yiqiu has to think carefully.
