"Let us once again welcome rox tigers with warm cheers!"
Inside the venue.
The audience is the No. 1 seed of LCK and the ROX team that is currently the biggest favorite to win the championship. They responded with a polite voice.
A few seconds later.
The host once again introduced: "There is also the ruler of the LPL division, whose recent record has been brilliant and unstoppable, Edward Gaming——"
The shot transitions from the championship trophy to the big screen.
Then the classic picture of edg playing in the quarterfinals appeared.
At the bottom of the screen, there is also a lineup of five main players, one substitute, and one coach.
“Top order: general!”
"Jungle: clearlove!"
"Mid laner: scout!"
"ad:deft!"
"Assistant: meiko!"
"Coach maokai, substitute player mouse!"
Compared to just now.
This time, the cheers from the audience were obviously much louder.
Especially when Xing Dao was introduced, the sound almost reached the top of the venue.
of viewers supported North America during the war between Europe and America.
Support Europe and the United States when fighting against the lpl division.
Faced with winning the World Finals for three consecutive years, playing a dominant role and being arrogant, the audience will support all teams except lck.
Before the quarterfinals, EDG played away from home.
At this point, it’s almost half a home court.
The background music plays to the end.
The players enter their respective seats and prepare.
"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the 2016 League of Legends Global Finals, the semi-final stage."
"I am a doll."
"I'm Miller."
"I am Xiaoshan."
The ‘Haier Brothers’ and a special guest appeared in the commentary box.
"The backgrounds of the two teams edg and rox are actually very different."
"EDG was very professional when it was established in the S4 season, and it is currently the most formal club in the LPL division."
"Rox is a team organized voluntarily by top players. Last season, they were even forced to train at their homes due to a broken financial chain. It is really not easy to get to where we are today step by step."
Speaking of which.
Wawa changed the topic: "However, we are definitely looking forward to edg winning this semi-final and standing on the stage of the finals."
"Let's take a look at the data comparison."
Miller looked at the screen: "The styles of the two players, General and Semb, are very similar. They are both carry-type top laners. Their participation rate in the group is generally not high, one is 53.7%, and the other is 58.5%."
"But as long as they enter a team battle, both of them can provide a lot of output to the team."
Next.
The information boxes for the four positions of jungler, mid laner, ad, and auxiliary appear in their own lanes one by one.
After the display is completed.
Enter the ban/pick interface.
The night before, rox won the coin toss and got first choice of side.
Take the initiative to come to the blue square.
On the first floor, ban Ryze first.
"There are many heroes in general who have better records than Ryze, but I personally feel that Ryze is the most unsolvable."
“It’s easy to talk about the first and middle stages.”
"In the later stages, Ryze synthesized Zhonya's hourglass and used his level 2 ultimate to lead the line. He couldn't handle it at all, and there was no possibility of being caught to death."
Small umbrella for analysis.
After the redesign, the movement speed was increased, the spell blood-stealing and explosive AOE ultimates became teleportation arrays, and the teamfight ability of Rune Mage Ryze was greatly weakened.
But after the equipment is formed, the duel ability is still at the forefront of the top lane heroes.
With the golden cicada out of its shell, there is almost no solution.
What edg is targeting is Leopard Girl, whom all LCK players are good at and must be grabbed by the blue side.
This kind of handling method is relatively routine and is expected by the other party.
Second and third floors.
Rox bans the void burrower Rek'Sai and the Starforged Dragon King Aurian Thrall.
Edg gave the ban position to Kennen and Dark Leader Syndra.
Entering the selection stage.
rox grabs the policewoman first on the first floor.
"Suppress the two support heroes on edg, and then hit the bottom lane?"
Miller guessed based on the situation: "Indeed, compared to more experienced top laners, general has one biggest shortcoming, and that is that he is not very good at supporting."
"We can see that in edg's previous games, general's teleportation was used to supplement development."
"If you get a quick push combination, it's really not that easy to deal with."
"Let's see what to do with edg."
Wawa looked to the right: "Take a Karma to stabilize the lane, then choose Jhin, and directly reveal the bottom lane combination."
See the situation.
Rox gets Elise, Queen of Spiders, and Zyra, Rising of Thorns.
Zyra Karma is a classic counterpoint.
In comparison, Kalma has more complete functions and Zyra has stronger suppression power.
The combination of Zyra Policewoman can easily control the lane when faced with Karma and Jhin, allowing the Spider Queen to exert her ability to jump over the tower without any solution.
Normally.
edg should consider strong midfield heroes to avoid problems in the bottom lane.
However, what appeared was a Demon Snake Embrace who couldn't buy shoes, and a Peerless Swordswoman who didn't fit the version.
Very strange.
"Send Sword Girl directly..."
Miller thought for a while: "With General's personal ability and style, I can understand it."
"Although this version of Sword Queen is not very strong, when the equipment is formed in the later stage, there are few heroes who can block Sword Queen's split push."
"But in this case, if the factory manager wants to supplement the tank jungler, it will not be easy to take care of the bottom lane!"
Tank jungler, in other words, is a herbivorous hero.
Very suitable for the factory manager.
Also suitable for edg's current lineup.
But all of this has a premise, that is, the bottom lane will not be exploded.
As we all know, deft has never been known for its online capabilities. Among the strongest adcs, it is no exaggeration to say that it is ranked at the bottom.
Use disadvantaged heroes to break out of the "Xuan Ming Two Elders".
There is another Spider Queen watching eagerly from the side.
Whether it can hold on is a big question mark... and it may even turn into an exclamation mark.
I don't understand the explanation.
The audience is confused.
Rox team coach Nofe also feels something is not right.
In recent years, the style of the LPL team, especially the EDG team, has always been to seek no merit but no fault. They don’t want to lose anything, and they don’t have the ability, so they will always be tricked by LCK.
In this game, edg gave up the bottom lane and focused on the top lane?
It's not very appropriate...
right.
Edg's new top laner, General, is very strong. He blocked the gods and Buddhas and killed the monkeys along the way, and encountered almost no decent resistance.
But you have to know.
Who is the opponent in this match?
He is recognized as the strongest top laner semb this year!
Why does edg think that General's attributes have been weakened in all aspects of his hand, and he is no longer a strong swordswoman in the version, and can play at a faster pace than the policewoman's speed push.
Think about it for a long time.
The countdown is about to end.
Nofe then asked the team members to take out the heroes they wanted.
