"Don't be careless, the opponent is skt after all."
Backstage lounge.
With a sullen face, Abu warned the jubilant team members.
but.
At the end of the day, I couldn't stop talking.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Judging from the game, the performance of both sides is actually on par.
Although edg had a 2-0 record, there was only one game where it was dominant.
The other game was a comeback against the wind.
Without taking into account the most critical wave of explosion operations on the top order of wine barrels, it is impossible to say who is stronger and who is weaker in terms of overall strength.
but……
That's enough!
Take three chances.
Next, choose the blue side, and you will have a certain advantage at the ban/pick level.
Not only that, there is another very crucial aspect.
That is, other teams may be afraid of SKT and feel that SKT is a team that is difficult to defeat.
edg doesn't.
The last time they played against each other was back in last year's MSI.
In that battle, edg not only knocked Faker's face away from the undefeated Enchantress, but also crushed SKT to pieces in the bo5 match.
Today I got another huge advantage at the start, and I am obviously in a good position mentally.
"This nuclear bomb barrel is really powerful."
Coach Maokai thought about it and suggested that Xing Dao play in the group stage. He felt that he would have bragging rights from now on.
What does it mean to recognize talents with a keen eye, right?
After saying a sentence, he turned around and looked.
I found Xing Dao sitting aside again and burying his head in his knees.
I couldn't help but feel a little strange: "What's going on? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Probably, don't disturb him." Abu's voice lowered a bit: "I still want to say that two to zero does not mean a guaranteed win."
"You can be happy, and I am happy too."
"But remember, don't give SKT a chance, you must be rigorous, and you must set your own rhythm."
"Understood." The factory director nodded.
Experienced the failure of s4 and s5.
The factory director knows very well that as long as the competition is not settled, accidents may occur.
There must be no slacking off at all.
"Snake Girl's reverse R flash has made a great contribution, but next time, faker will definitely be prepared and even take the initiative to cheat. After all, he uses Snake Girl very well."
"The mid laner can consider Dragon King."
"Because the snake girl's role is not as great as imagined."
Abramovich continued to make arrangements: "If we use Dragon King, we must have the ability to retain people in the bottom lane, and we must ensure continuous output in team battles."
"Get on the road..."
Think about it.
Abu decided to let nature take its course: "There should be endless bans on heroes, let Xing Dao choose."
"OK!" Coach Maokai wrote these down with a ballpoint pen.
Wait for the break to end.
Back on stage.
Back to the blue side edg, the third one is still disabled.
——Ashe, leopard girl, female gun.
For the SKT team that has no personnel changes, we will first ban Rockbird and Gnar.
The last position did not concern the top lane hero, but was given to... the Star Casting Dragon King decided by edg before the game.
"The captain, the barrel, and Ritz are all outside, so we can't finish everything."
“I can’t decide on priorities yet.”
"Just let it all go."
Miller analyzed the SKT team’s thoughts.
"I think Ryze is more critical." Zeyuan expressed his opinion: "The captain will be beaten by the backhand on the blue side. Although the nuclear explosion operation of the wine barrel is strong, five people will not be beaten together as long as they are prepared.
Collide."
"But SKT can also choose the hero Ryze," Watana pointed out.
"Ah, yes, yes, I ignored it, I'm sorry." Zeyuan thought again: "In this way, it's just to see if edg wants to grab it first..."
"Sure enough, I stole it!"
After a brief discussion.
On the first floor of edg, get the Rune Mage Ryze.
In the current version, Ryze is not strong in mid-range and will be suppressed by various long-hand APs.
With Faker's strength, he couldn't even defeat Scout, a young boy in the early stage.
So you can't choose easily.
Go up.
Unless he encounters Jace, he has no natural enemies.
It lights up directly, no problem.
Moreover, there is a foreshadowing.
That is the air-dropped atomic bomb of Ryze plus Nunu's double ultimate move.
Although the speed is relatively slow and the actual combat area is not extensive, if it is stuck at a key location, it is very likely that the opponent will rise to the sky in a wave.
Facing this circumstances.
In the first two hands of skt, they got Kennen and Olaf the Berserker.
"Duke's Kenan...is actually average."
Zeyuan did his homework: "Duke never used Kenan during the LCK summer split. He played once in the quarterfinals, and the final record was 2-2-3."
"It works, but it's not very useful." Wawa gave a very expressive comment.
"That's right." Miller looked down: "Olav is more powerful in the jungle, with higher damage, faster deceleration, and immunity to control after level six."
"The bank has released Olaf, and the factory director's Nunu may not be easy to choose."
really.
edgNami and Centaur are shown next.
Dual group control, can be paired with various heroes.
"Edg's plan is to let Ryze lead Infinite, which means that they have placed the top laner outside the teamfight system."
"Then, fight them forcefully!"
SKT coach KKoma did not give up the last hope.
But he tried his best.
Let Sivir and Kalma be used in the bottom lane, and after edg locked ez and Viktor with double C, he took out...
Frost Witch, Lissandra!
The lineup is confirmed!
Blue square:edg
Red side:skt
Top lane: Ryze vs Kennen
Jungler: Centaur vs Olaf
Mid laner: Viktor vs Lissandra
ad:ezvssivir
Support: Nami vs Karma
Because the Dragon King was put on the ban seat by SKT.
Snake Girl's previous performance was not very satisfactory.
edg gave his younger brother Scout the mechanical pioneer Victor, who won 8 out of 9 games in the summer split, with a total winning rate of 88.9%.
Facing other heroes, no problem.
After seeing Lissandra... I felt something was wrong.
The three Freljord sisters are a bit unreasonable when they start a team fight!
"Be careful, be careful."
The countdown was over and coach Maokai had to leave. He kept urging him before leaving.
Nami and Centaur have good backhand abilities, so they may not be able to withstand Kennen and Lissandra, but since SKT dares to make such an effort, they obviously have a certain degree of confidence.
After a short read.
Both sides enter Summoner's Rift.
Trailing by two points and already cornered, the SKT team gathered together without hesitation and invaded the lower half of the wild area!
Edg is prepared for this.
The view was arranged in advance and no loss was suffered.
only.
As time went by, a rather outrageous scene happened...
The skt members who invaded are not leaving!
"Are you forced to change this red buff?"
Miller judged: "EDG's bottom lane is ez Nami, and its ability to push the line is definitely not as good as Sivir and Karma. If the jungle is swapped, it may be dangerous!"
"That's true, but I can't beat him at level one." Zeyuan compared his combat power.
"Change, the director went to the SKT jungle area." Wawa looked at the screen: "Meiko should save skill points to prevent a second-level tower jump."
