"Hello everyone, this is the live broadcast of the semi-finals of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals..."

On the LPL commentary stage, Wawa was speaking fluently.

"The importance of this game is self-evident. For G2, this will be the best opportunity for the entire European region to enter the finals for the first time since the S1 World Championship; for VG, it is whether they can achieve something unprecedented.

It is also very likely to be a key battle for the third consecutive championship that will never be matched again. Every battle cannot be missed!"

"Let's take a look at the pre-match data given by E," Miller continued. "Both sides have won 9 consecutive victories in this World Championship without losing a single defeat. Comparing the data can tell us from a certain extent.

Show the styles of the two teams..."

The guide played the heat map of the first 15 minutes of Beryl's game. In the Summoner's Rift, traces of G2's support were all over the jungle and the top and middle lines.

Only the hot spots in the bottom lane are scattered and out of scale!

Miller couldn't laugh or cry, "It can be seen that Beryl really doesn't like to spend more time in the bottom lane. The affinity rate between him and the jungler is as high as 22%, ranking first among all the knockout teams. On the contrary, it is Prince Duan who ranks first in this category."

The data is only 13.5%. It can also be seen from the heat map that Prince Duan basically stays in the bottom lane to keep Jack developing."

"Correspondingly, Jankos mainly uses rhythm heroes, hoping to link up with Beryl to establish an advantage as soon as possible in the early stage, instead of using wild core heroes like Xing Ge to protect the team in the later stage..."

Wawa concluded, "It can be said that this semi-final is a collision between two teams with completely different styles. The result of this game is likely to determine the trend of the entire S8 World Championship!"

In the professional arena, it is always the winner who represents the ‘right direction’ of the version.

Sometimes even if there are certain problems, you will gain countless fans.

With the popularity of the Haier Brothers, the number of viewers in the LPL live broadcast room has expanded, and the number of barrages in the chat channel has also increased by several orders of magnitude!

[VG must win, three consecutive championships!]

[It’s time to bring out that picture again – do you still need to watch VG’s game? When you wake up, it’s another victory]

[This is really hard to say, isn’t it? Don’t forget that we almost won the G2 Mid-Season Tournament. I remember pushing VG to the high ground in the fourth set. I’m glad I didn’t get crushed by VG]

[G2 must have won. Kuro only beat Caps. Aren’t they being toyed with in front of Ah P? VG shouldn’t even think about winning three consecutive championships. The semi-finals are almost the same.]

[Haha, some RNG fans are like this. If the team they support is eliminated, they will do everything possible to badmouth the other LPL teams, hoping that others will die]

【All I can say is don’t question, believe first!】

[See if Brother Xing fucks him, it will be over, Jankos? Pankos!]

During the discussion among netizens, accompanied by a sonorous and powerful metallic crunching sound, the BP panel was revealed to everyone!

In this game, G2 won the priority to choose the side and selected the blue side in the first game.

Youngbuck came up and sent Ice Girl to the ban position.

Redmi’s choice to ban G2’s head coach is not surprising.

The wild-core tool mid-single play style that VG developed in the quarter-finals was so shocking in the current version that it left a deep impression on everyone.

G2 must have prepared a countermeasure in advance.

On the BP side, there are only two ways to limit this tactic.

The banned position is for the jungler or mid laner.

And since Gu Xing developed AP wild cores such as Rock Bird and Death Song during the Asian Games, it is simply unrealistic for you to limit his wild core hero pool just by relying on the ban position!

Therefore, nowadays, major teams basically no longer care about Gu Xing. They know that this guy purely belongs to the sea of ​​heroes, and investing a large number of ban seats in him will not be of much use. At best, they can block the most famous Qian Jue to show respect, and the other heroes can all

Just let it out.

Then through a simple elimination method, we know that limiting the hero pool of mid laner Kuro is the best option.

The current version of the tool player does not have many mid lane options. When G2 has sufficient blue square positions, it can free up one or two to block them.

"Let's ban Akali first," Hongmi responded. "Although there are ways to restrain it, there is no need to use it this time."

In the few days of training before the start of the semi-finals, VG was not only honing its mid-field linkage gameplay, but also made considerable cognitive progress in the relationship between the food chains at each position.

The most typical one is mid laner Akali.

During the period just after the rework was completed, all teams believed that Akali was an invincible supermodel - even VG was no exception.

The main reason is that the mechanism is too sloppy. As long as you reach level 6 and have a squishy mage with a set of skills, you can lose most of your health in seconds!

It is precisely because of this that from the second half of the Summer Split until the semi-finals of the World Championship, Akali was a non-ban option and had a very high winning rate.

But Redmi, together with Kuro, Chaowei and easyhoon, three first-line mid laners at that time or now, studied for a long time and found a way to restrain it.

Galio.

All I can say is that if you know it, you will understand it, but if you don’t understand it, there is nothing you can do about it.

The development process was purely coincidental. Kuro wanted to train as a tool player, so he took out Galio again, whose popularity had been declining due to mid-to-upper swing warriors.

Unexpectedly, in a training match against VGP, the opponent Angel Xiangtao, as Akali's unique brother, had to use his signature hero to experience the strength. Kuro picked Galio and suddenly realized that it was so easy to fight!

The three mid laners/coaches in the VG team practiced laning repeatedly and determined that this was a counter relationship with Tietie, so they regarded Galio as a secret weapon and reserved it specifically to restrain Akali.

In this game, Redmi still chose to ban Akali because they still wanted to hide it and wait until necessary to take it out to catch the opponent off guard.

The G2 coach blocked Gu Xing's signature Qianjue in the second move.

"Sure enough..." Kuro smiled and praised, "Qian Jue, who has been sold out, will definitely buy a house in Ban!"

"You three can do something useful," Li Ruixing looked at his teammates and asked, "The sales manager and I just missed all the first-round ban spots, so we have the legal right to win!"

"If I don't win, whoever takes the resources will lose!" Jack's tone was full of joking, "Isn't that right, Maibo?"

According to the version direction developed by VG, the duo is undoubtedly a position with low influence. Yu Wenbo believes that Song Jinghao, who is consuming the team's resources, is the player who should stand up the most.

"Okay, okay," Smeb rubbed his knuckles, determined and firm, "As long as Pingu comes to help me, I will smash Wunder to pieces today!"

"How about Syndra Enchantress double-opening this game and let the opponent choose at will?" Hongmi discussed with the players, "I plan to target Beryl."

Li Ruixing readily agreed, "Okay, I have no objection!"

He has already learned how to withstand pressure and doesn't care much about the laning pressure given by traditional mages.

Seeing that Kuro agreed, Hongmi sent the tauren to the ban seat.

In the last banned position in the first round, G2 chose to give Song Jinghao's Jayce to prevent VG from using heavy artillery to make a single-line breakthrough.

"The opponent probably wants to select the Single Sword Demon," Gu Xing reasonably speculated. "Rui Xing is not very good at Sword Girl, and he can't get Jace. The Sword Demon has no natural enemies in the mid-term."

Apart from Sword Girl and Jace, the hero usually used to restrain Sword Demon is Urgot.

But that's on the road.

It's not suitable to put it in the middle.

The line is too short, and it is difficult for Crab's R [Fear Beyond Death] to chase the sword demon to death.

At present, after Ice Girl is banned, the only remaining tool player mid laner is Galio, and at most there is Sion.

The problem is that in front of Aatrox, these two heroes are pure tops, and they can do whatever they want!

Hongmi thought for a moment and clicked her tongue irritably.

From the quarter-finals to the semi-finals, he can obviously feel that the intensity of his opponents is increasing.

It is particularly obvious on the BP side.

Originally, Redmi was prepared and wanted to ban both Niutou and Luo on the red side, trying its best to limit Beryl's roaming ability.

As a result, G2 turned around and dug a hole in Ban's position, forcing him to deal with the Sword Demon.

If the ban position is given to Aatrox, Beryl will most likely grab Rakan first!

"Why don't we let the Sword Demon go to them? Let's choose Xia Luo? I can't bear the pressure." Kuro suggested.

"No," Hongmi flatly refused, "The linkage between you and Gu Gu is the key. Taking Xia Luo can guarantee the bottom lane advantage, but it is equivalent to abolishing the linkage between the midfielder and the jungle!"

He paced slowly behind the player seats and finally made a decision, "... Ban the Sword Demon. We will suffer some losses in the red square."

The next second after Aatrox was placed in the ban position, G2 locked up Luo and immediately kicked the ball to VG, compressing the opponent's reaction time to the extreme!

Hongmi tried hard to keep her mind calm, "Choose the sword girl to Maibo, and then lock Galio."

Regarding the role of Irelia, VG does not need to waver.

I personally know that Kuro doesn’t know how to use it, and suffered a big loss during the mid-season.

Therefore, the red rice is simply sold together.

G2 still picks players very quickly - Xia Enchantress.

The former is to create Xialuo combination to increase the strength.

As for Enchantress, Perkz is a very confident hero, and she won the MVP in the quarterfinals against RNG.

He is confident of crushing Kuro's Galio!

"Let's choose Kai'Sa first," Hongmi decided to choose a shooter for Yu Wenbo who can withstand pressure in the early stage and has good combat effectiveness when he has a two-piece set. "Jack, you use your ultimate moves in the mid-term to fly over to join the team. Although we are fighting in this game,

Midfielder, but as long as you get two heads, team battles will also work!"

Yu Wenbo accepted it calmly.

Kai'Sa is already the best hero he can choose, with very comprehensive functions.
