Abu will never and has no right to take such risks.
It’s not just a lack of qualifications.
What's more, at that time, the EDG team was at its peak, holding the first spring and summer double championship in the history of LoL, and they were eager to show off their skills in the World Finals.
Replacement?
The original combination can sweep the entire competition area, no matter how new they are!
but.
After experiencing the S4 Beef Noodles, the S5 version being out of touch, and the S6 mid-season rng defeat, this series of events, EDG is no longer so blindly confident.
Learned to examine myself.
OK, that's OK.
No, it just won’t work.
After watching these two days of competition, Abramovich became more determined to win despite danger.
——The performance of the skt team in the first round was stumbling. In addition to forming a crushing momentum against c9, they struggled with IM for a long time before winning. They also lost to Flash Wolf fw, which has always been known as the "Korean killer".
However.
In the second round, three battles in one day.
SKT swept Group B with a total record of 5-1 and qualified as the group leader without any doubt.
Rox followed closely behind, defeating CIS Anx in the extra round, and won the first place in Group A 5-2.
This time.
Not only im packed my bags and headed back home.
Even the second seed RNG has increased pressure on its shoulders.
To know.
For the lck team with a complete e-sports system, bo1 and bo5 are completely different performances.
Compared with the former, it is not an exaggeration to describe the latter as a higher level.
The performance in the group stage was so strong.
The upper limit of the knockout rounds is almost unimaginable.
"After watching these two days of games, I can only say that the seriousness of the LCK team is really suffocating."
"It's not a back-and-forth confrontation."
"It's a perfect suppression step by step, slowly operating you until you die, not even leaving a chance to counterattack."
Changmao expressed emotion after the last game of the day.
External public opinion is also a voice that speaks ill of lpl.
"RNG is gone. It can't beat Samsung. The second place in the group will either have to face EDG or the first or second seed of LCK."
"Yes, gone far."
"Look down on big dogs? How did you become the runner-up of two S-level competitions?"
"Tips: Uzi has never beaten the Korean team in bo5."
"It's the same as saying that edg can win. The mid laner can't deal with the bot lane and gets jumped over the tower. He can't even beat the wild card. In the group stage, he relies entirely on the new top laner c."
"That is, if we don't change the top order, Edg will probably go 0-3 in the walk group."
"How good is rng? Let the third seed of lck be beaten into a dog."
"Stop arguing, okay? Maybe both edg and rng will qualify first in the group."
"Dreaming?"
"You can't be so drunk if you have two peanuts."
"..."
In the midst of hustle and bustle.
On the third day of the second round of the group stage, the battle to determine rng's ranking officially began.
SSG replicated SKT's dominance and also achieved a 3-0 record, firmly suppressing RNG.
Since then.
The first positions in groups a, b, and d are all occupied by the lck division.
Said without politeness.
With the strength shown by rng, if there is no big upset, it will basically stop at the top eight.
October 10th.
EDG, regarded by countless viewers as the 'last hope of the lpl', ushered in the final round of the group stage.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the 2016 League of Legends Global Finals."
"I am a doll."
"I am less than."
"I remember."
The pilot screen was first shown to the commentary box.
Three people in neat suits appeared in front of the camera. After introducing themselves, Wawa was the first to speak: "Today, edg needs to fight three games in a row, facing intz, ahq, and h2k respectively."
"What is about to happen is a confrontation with intz."
"Edg's current record is 2-1, ranking first in Group C due to the relationship between wins and losses, and Intz's record is 1-2... The only victory was obtained from edg."
As a veteran commentator.
Dolls are very emotive.
Just a few sentences.
It made the audience look forward to it.
"I personally think that losing to intz on the first day might be a good thing for edg."
Xiao Yu has always been very direct: "If edg had not lost, he would not have replaced the general on the field. If he had not replaced the general on the field, the knockout rounds would have been much more difficult."
"You can't say that." Remember felt it was a bit exaggerated: "Actually, mouse is not bad, really bad, and it is impossible for him to win the summer split with the team. He probably just hasn't adapted."
"Maybe." Yu Yu insisted: "But now, it's obvious that General is playing better."
"The list is out, the list is out." Wawa took over: "EDG has not made any personnel changes. The starting top laner is still general. You can look forward to today's performance."
"Edg is definitely well prepared, but we cannot take it lightly." remember commented.
for intz.
If you want to retain your qualifications.
Out of three battles, at least two must be won.
If you can't get the edg, you are pushed to a dead end.
He will definitely fight for his life at 200%.
For edg, today is an out-and-out battle of revenge.
Losing to a wild card can be regarded as an upset, it can be said that it is carelessness, or it can be explained by insufficient preparation before the game.
Lose again and get double-killed by a wild card.
I can only go back and dance in the Huangpu River to keep company with a certain naughty pig.
The screen changes.
Players from both teams walked to the front stage along the dedicated channel.
Start checking and debugging peripherals.
After confirming that there are no problems, the ban/pick phase is entered.
"Edg's style in the past two games is very different from before. After General's debut, Edg almost relied on the jungle to carry."
"As everyone knows about intz, he has always been a top jungler, a jungler, and a fan of the factory director..."
Speaking of which.
The doll smiled unconsciously.
"As a veteran with very good results, the factory director actually has a lot of fans."
"When I'm on site, I often see people asking for photos and autographs from the factory director."
Remember joked: "But after this S competition, if you meet people claiming to be fans again, the factory director should be more careful."
"Indeed, let's take a look at bp."
Xiao Yu got to the point: "Edg blocked Gnar first. This is a hero that intz's top laner Yang played very well. Intz responded with Leopard Girl, respecting the factory director."
Second ban.
edg still performs processing based on previous performance.
Put the blind monk on the ban seat.
After all, Intz is a football prince from Brazil, and his footwork is a bit too precise.
Intz thought for a moment and gave the ban position to the male gunner who had performed well before.
"As expected, we are targeting the road."
Remember guessed: "Edg held down the Star Casting Dragon King in his third move. The Dragon King's winning rate in previous games reached 60%, which is also quite good."
"Intz, let's take a look at the last one...well, Sword Princess!"
"General's Sword Girl has been very good lately." Yu Yu checked the information.
The operation is pulled to 80.
Xing Dao uses Jian Ji and is nearly invincible on the US server.
Because the players at the current stage are just chopping holes one by one, and have no idea about techniques such as A-dodge and four breaks in one second.
Xing Dao can show off his performance with just a little bit of advanced understanding.
but.
As a result, we encountered a problem.
Sword Princess was held down by intz.
Which hero card should I choose to play in this game...
