Chapter 236 Here we come! The second of the wild core trilogy: Qian Jue!
On the last day of July, IG also ushered in the second game of its new lineup after playing against Snake.
The starting list released on the official blog the night before made fans look forward to it.
The starting lineup for the game against RW on July 31:
Top order:TheShy
Jungler:Lancer
Mid laner: Rookie
Bottom lane: Jackeylove
Auxiliary: n
After Ning Wang communicated with Mafa, the IG coaching staff soon began to officially determine this lineup as the latest lineup.
Until King Ning "successfully recovers", this lineup will basically not change much.
The audience is also looking forward to the match between these two teams.
Not to mention IG, it has always been at the center of the topic. Not only every game, but even every team member is extremely popular.
As for RW, it also has a lot of popularity.
As the first-generation X-Men team, RW was known as the "Galactic Battleship" in terms of staffing at the beginning.
Although most of them are ridiculed by the audience, it has to be said that their staffing is undoubtedly the first-class level of the current LPL.
Top laner Mouse, also known as Aguang, is a former EDG capable player. Looking at the current top laners in the entire LPL, there is no doubt that he is the top three blue-collar top laners. He had a lot of popularity when he was in EDG. After coming to RW, he seems to have rejuvenated.
In the second spring, among the players except IG members, their popularity was already at the top.
Mid laner Doinb, also known as Coin Brother, is one of the former QG midfielder and jungler duo. Before IG won the championship in S7, he was once regarded as the top three Korean mid laners with Scout and Rookie.
Because of his strong strength, unique hero pool and built-in system, coupled with the famous "mid-jungle break" that once made everyone famous, and his own live broadcast style as a comedian, Doinb at this time
It also has extremely high heat.
Then there is the AD-positioned Sima thief, also known as Brother Ma, the ancient anti-pressure barbara flower, one of the two-legged C’s in the team who was as famous as Xiye.
The creator of the famous scene ‘Annihilation’.
The heir to the title of "Facial Paralysis Brother" with a smile.
At his peak, his popularity was once comparable to that of Uzi, and his interviews were frequently popular. After so many years of career, he has also accumulated extremely high popularity.
The first generation of RW, formed with these three players as the core, has attracted much attention from the audience, both in terms of discussion popularity and paper strength.
For the first time, the Chinese character "Xia" is used as the team logo. In addition, the team also has a poster artist who is recognized as the best in the LPL. Every time the poster competition is held before the game, RW can stand out and frequently receive praise from the audience and fans.
.
It can be said that although the RW team was just formed in 2018, since its establishment, all elements from top to bottom have been very lovable, and it has easily won the love of LPL audiences.
When they faced off against the current version, which was undoubtedly No. 1 in terms of strength and popularity, and had just updated their starting lineup, the audience was naturally full of curiosity and looked forward to what kind of sparks the two teams could collide with.
.
A few days before the game started, netizens on major LOL forums had already started heated discussions.
By the time July 31 came, the spectators who came to watch the game were even more excited.
Afternoon, 18:40.
Shanghai, Zhengda Plaza.
Familiar venue, familiar stage.
There were still twenty minutes left before the seven o'clock prime time, but the seats in the venue were already full.
At this moment, players from both sides have already gone on stage to debug their equipment in advance.
On the big screen of the live broadcast, the three commentators who had just finished discussing the previous game immediately began to warm up for this game.
"Hello everyone, I am today's commentator Wang Duoduo."
"Hello everyone, I'm Kris."
"Hello everyone, I'm Changmao."
The three commentators in the picture smiled, briefly introduced themselves, and then immediately began to talk about their analysis of the next game.
Changmao: "IG vs. RW, this is also the focus of the battle that everyone has been waiting for. RW, who is in good condition, will face the new IG lineup with the version update 2.0. This is really exciting."
Kris: "Especially Lancer who switched to the jungle position. To be honest, the last game with Snake, I was really stunned. It felt like I saw the super who controlled the overall situation in the queue.
Power leveling.
If before, IG had some ups and downs due to King Ning's state, which gave many people a chance, then after replacing Lancer as the jungler, I really can't see any flaws in this IG. It is perfect and has no leaks.
It’s really disappointing from the opponent’s perspective.”
Wang Duoduo: "Yes, although IG has lost to Snake in a small game before, its undefeated streak in the big game is still continuing.
There is even a more important thing: Lancer himself has maintained a 100% winning rate since his debut. He was already perfect when he was in the upper unit, and now that he has moved to the jungle position, it is also felt.
A huge sense of oppression that makes it difficult to breathe.
Before this, even Sofm was suppressed to the point of numbness. I don’t know if RW’s Flowless can withstand the pressure today. I think jungle is definitely the most critical point for RW facing the big boss like IG.”
Regarding this focus battle, the three commentators expressed their opinions one after another.
Then, under the focus of countless viewers, as the game time approached, the live broadcast screen also released the pre-match dialogue between the two teams that had been recorded in advance.
The situation on RW's side is top laner Mouse.
As usual, Aguang still has the approachable and gentle expression of a big boy, scratching his head and saying with a smile in the camera.
“When playing IG, to be honest, I’m not very stressed, because I feel that thinking too much and being too stressed are of no use, and will instead affect my mentality and operations.
It would be very happy to be able to play against an extremely strong team like IG, so instead of being tied down, it is better to give it a try and give it your best without any regrets.
As for the final outcome, it’s up to God to decide what to do. If I can really beat IG, I think I will be so happy that I can’t sleep for a few days, hahaha.”
In the picture, Mouse has a trademark honest and gentle smile on his face, and his tone of voice is as relaxed as possible.
But even watching through the screen, the audience can still feel the lingering heavy pressure and tension in his smile that is as relaxed as possible.
The audience quite understood this.
After all, even if you say there is no pressure and just try your best, who wouldn't want to win when you actually face it?
And if you want to win against IG with such terrifying strength, you can imagine the pressure on the players on RW's side.
Suddenly, these few words from Mouse in the pre-match interview directly added a bit more tension to the already very lively atmosphere.
After Mouse, the player who appeared on IG's side was TheShy, who was also in the same unit.
However, unlike Mouse, TheShy's speech was very concise due to his Chinese proficiency.
"RW?"
"Haha, Wo Lu is invincible as a jungler, but Flowless can't beat Brother Lancer."
"There is no pressure in the nest, because we are sure to win!"
"..."
Pretty concise language.
Although his Chinese accent makes it difficult to speak, he still stumbles when speaking, and he doesn’t know who taught him.
But the relaxed and carefree smile on TheShy's face still fully demonstrates his confidence.
TheShy's speech also successfully made the audience laugh, and they burst into laughter.
"It's so funny, TheShy is really a fool."
"Why do I want to laugh so much every time I see him talking?"
"I really don't know where the accent is, I can't stand it..."
"Jiang Chenglu, one day you will laugh me to death hahahaha."
"Flowless was furious: Why are you talking to me in the conversation between your top laners? Do I not want to lose face?"
"Okay, although I only said a few words, but looking at the status of the two top laners, I almost understood one thing... RW seems to be under a lot of pressure."
"..."
As the audience said, for today's game, RW is not only under a bit of pressure, it is simply extremely stressful!
This can be seen directly from the beginning of BP.
"OK, with the screen switching, this game officially begins, and both sides enter the BP session!"
"Before this, because IG sent Lancer to win the coin toss, it got the priority to choose the side in the first game, and IG took the initiative to choose the blue side."
As the screen switched, Wang Duoduo's voice sounded in real time.
"The first three bans on the blue side IG: Barrel, Kled, and Big Mouth, respectively banned the three heroes of RW, midfielder, and AD who have performed well recently."
"The first three bans for red side RW were: Rock Bird, LeBlanc... I hesitated in the last move, and finally chose to ban a Leopard Girl. OK, this ban person is also very targeted.
You must know that in the current version, the two jungle heroes of Rock Bird and Leopard Girl are definitely not the OP of the version, but they appear in the Ban position at the same time, which is enough to show that RW pays enough attention to Lancer. Leopard Girl has not appeared in the current version.
Arena, but the last game with Snake was enough to make RW unwilling to take any risks."
"So in this case, there are quite a few regular OP heroes released on the field. Xia Luo is still there, Galio is still there, and Kai'Sa is also there. So what choice will IG make?"
"According to their habits, I think they should get Kai'Sa to AD first, lock down the strength of the bottom lane first, and then let the midfielder and upper jungler freely change."
Wang Duoduo guessed this.
Then very quickly, as everyone is familiar with, IG locked Kai'Sa directly on the first floor.
As for RW, they won the Xialuo combination in the first two hands without hesitation.
Xia Luo is replaced by Kai'Sa, and the first-hand BP currently looks like RW is making a small profit.
But then, IG's second and third picks directly made the audience scream in surprise.
IG second choice, Colossus of Justice, Galio.
IG's third choice, Everhunting Twins, Qian Jue.
"The Soul of the Master."
"Living with the Son."
In an instant, the distinctive voice lines of the Wolf Spirit and the Sheep Spirit resounded throughout the audience!
All the spectators who were watching the game couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
