Chapter 100

"Sent!" Uzi roared when he saw the last team fight.

"This master Seeing Akali is really scary, he killed Renekton like this, and you couldn't even see the person the whole time! What a fast blade!"

"I don't even dare to think, if the ADC had developed a bit better this game, how painful this game would have been to play!"

Although Uzi hadn't faced this Seeing Akali directly, he could empathize through the screen.

At this time, the ADC's poor development actually became a "life-saving talisman."

However, Uzi was also recalling in confusion: "I remember, Barbecue clearly said that Akali couldn't be released on the blue side, saying that Yone and LeBlanc could counter it, and Akali was the hardest to deal with... Why was it released this game?"

"Sigh, feels like BLG is in trouble, EDG seems to be really a bit strong, this newly swapped tactic seems to still not work."

The red side has the last ban advantage of the first round, and can steal ban Galio in the last hand to pick.

Besides Galio, which is a true comprehensive counter, other heroes seem to have the ability to withstand pressure, and the survivability of Shroud plus double displacement is too strong.

The mainstream understanding of the competition was to treat the newly hot Sylas as one of the counters.

But this game clearly broke some cognition.

Uzi's words sparked a lively discussion in the broadcast room's barrage.

【This package is what the student learned himself and said he could play. After watching other people's trash Seeing Akali, he really thought Sylas could play with his eyes closed. I could even imagine this B's tone at the time!】

【Dao: Coach, believe me, we will win!】

【Do you understand what an urban legend is! Others can be released, but the Seeing Akali King is joking with you!】

【Uzi should just be glad he ran fast, otherwise the Ezreal who ate three lanes would have been stepped to death by Seeing Akali and would have exploded again. By then, you'd be shouting in your dreams, 'Ah, Seeing Akali is coming, Seeing Akali is coming!'】

【You don't understand at a glance, Uzi must be thinking at this moment: MD, if I had known, I would have gone to EDG!】

【? Then why can you replace Viper? By 11 World Championship titles!】

Uzi saw the black and white barrage that started fighting at the slightest disagreement.

It was hard to say when Scout was there before.

But now, he was actually a bit tempted!

Now EDG's mid laner's radiation to the bottom lane is really much stronger than before; it's the kind where you don't have to take the responsibility of four-protect-one, but can still get close treatment!

However, he also shook his head helplessly very quickly.

After all, this matter, even he himself felt it was ridiculous.

As everyone knows, the two biggest experience books from the ancient era of LPL to the present are "Pig-Dog War," even if Clearlove and Uzi themselves actually have no grudges, but the fans of RNG and EDG have long been called "incompatible."

This is like Messi joining Real Madrid, Curry joining the Lakers, Thanos joining the Avengers, Hua Fei joining the Zhen Huan group, the Joyous Union Sect leader joining the Shaolin Temple...

Simply a fantasy event!

After a short delay in the broadcast room, BLG's crystal exploded.

"Congratulations to EDG! Two to zero lead, holding three match points!"

Wang Duoduo's expression was spirited: "Their state is still hot, and they are only one step away from the semi-finals!"

Guan Zeyuan was full of emotion: "Actually, BLG played really well in the early game this game, the whole tactic was completely played out, but Player Ye was also really critical in such a huge disadvantage, calmly dealing with it and finding a chance to counter-attack!"

"First, the wonderful 'bait solo kill' at level three rescued the top and jungle, then the top-mid-jungle coordination after swapping lanes won back half-field control, and then controlled the situation with an incomprehensible 1v2... It was almost Seeing Akali's personal performance that forcibly twisted the situation!"

If you look back at the match carefully, you will find that this is indeed the case.

Several key rhythm points were exactly the twists caused by Seeing Akali.

For example, the first trade after swapping lanes, if there hadn't been such a successful kiting profit, Sejuani's offensive route might have changed, and it would have been hard to seize the top jungle at the right time.

The post-match highlight replay also happened to play this wave.

Seeing Akali and Renekton's magical pace, like a duet tango, once again caused the commentary desk and everyone in the broadcast room to exclaim.

Looking at the replay again, it seems that one can more clearly see the extreme game between the two in those few short seconds regarding the true "half-step difference."

But compared to the two male commentators' sighs about kiting.

Rita's attention seemed to focus on strange places again.

"Hey, look quickly, these two players are a bit interesting. Ah Bin's eyebrows have been jumping wildly, and then Master Ye's ears seem to be twitching too!"

"... Ear-moving magic!"

Rita held it for a long time before thinking of that childhood cartoon.

Guan Zeyuan pretended to be an expert and popularized science.

When a person enters an "overclocked" state with highly tense nerves, everyone will have various unconscious neuro-physical reactions, which is indeed very normal.

Some people jump their eyebrows, some pull their corners of the mouth, some shrug their nostrils, and some people just shake their whole body.

And Ye Bo's is relatively rare, it seems to be twitching his ears, but the amplitude is obviously smaller than the eyebrow jumping next door.

Even Ye Bo himself didn't know about this unconscious physical reaction.

And it's very obvious that there has never been one in previous matches.

The barrage in the broadcast room brushed up the "Ye Tutu" joke.

At the same time.

"DRX Club Base"

The playoff schedules of LCK and LPL were tacitly conducted at staggered peaks, and it is normal for the two major regions to watch each other's matches.

Especially the playoffs, which are the most critical matches of the whole year and the last matches before the World Championship.

And the members of DRX happened to be "quite connected" to the playoffs held today.

DRX's mid laner Zeka was BLG's mid laner last year, and he only returned to LCK from LPL this year to join this DRX.

It is rumored that BLG took the initiative to give up Zeka, thinking that the opponent's performance was average, or thinking that the style didn't fit the newly formed team this year.

Similarly, there is top laner Kingen, who was also BLG's top laner in 2019.

Two "BLG legends"!

As for the bottom lane player Deft, he was once a veteran of EDG for many years, and has always kept a good relationship and contact with several players in the team.

"They are really amazing, this new mid laner of theirs, I ranked with him before, and I felt he was very amazing at that time," Deft muttered to himself.

Zeka curled his lips, anyway, he was in his own base, so he didn't care so much and said casually: "BLG's mid laners change back and forth, feels like none of them are very good."

Deft smiled and turned to ask: "Hey, Fellow Gamer, so what do you think, who has the advantage between Akali and Sylas?"

Zeka is a well-known "master" of Seeing Akali and Sylas, and also the person who used these two heroes the most in the LCK league this year.

Asked this question, he started to talk freely and naturally.

"Overall, Sylas has the advantage, because if they develop equally to the mid-game, it's hard for Seeing Akali to kill Sylas, but Sylas stealing his ultimate might kill Seeing Akali instantly, and fighting a sustained battle is completely impossible."

"But the laning period is definitely a pure 50/50, it just depends on the skill hit rate of the two people, and the casting game!"

"This Sylas plays poorly, there is too obvious a proficiency gap with Seeing Akali, or rather, he doesn't even understand how to lane at all, like level one..."

Once a master talks about his master hero, it's like a racing driver talking about his beloved car; various data theories, he couldn't stop at all once he opened his mouth.

BeryL, who was playing with his phone on the side, felt the mid laner was a bit noisy and interrupted to tease: "So Kim Jianyou, do you think your Sylas can beat this person?"

"Definitely!"

"Although this Seeing Akali is indeed playing well, it's mainly because the Sylas on the opposite side is really too bad!"

"Don't say Sylas versus Seeing Akali, even the other way around, Seeing Akali versus Sylas, I can play the same! If there's a chance to play against them this year, watch me definitely..."

When Zeka said this confidently, he suddenly stopped.

Afterward, he closed his mouth, and his expression seemed a bit frustrated.

The reason is very simple—because as it stands now, it seems very difficult for DRX to run into EDG!

The lineup of this DRX can't be said to be very good.

Deft is already at the end of his career, and he also said bluntly in an interview that this year might be the last year.

And according to a big streamer with the surname B who didn't want to reveal his name, BeryL was kicked out of the door by DK because he was addicted to mobile games, and his situation was even worse than Zeka's!

So it means this DRX is a lineup composed of "kicked mid-support" plus veterans in their retirement year, and two little transparents with no achievements.

The record can also be said to correspond to the expectations of the lineup.

Spring regular season fifth, one round in the playoffs.

Summer regular season sixth, stepped on the line to enter the playoffs, and was miserably defeated by LSB with a 1-3 score in the first round of the playoffs yesterday.

LCK has a total of 10 teams, regular season 6th, already at the bottom.

Placed in LPL, this record is about equivalent to teams like OMG, LNG, FPX, etc., in the playoffs, all of which were eliminated in one round of the playoffs.

Currently, DRX can only wait for the life-and-death battle of the bubble match to compete for the slim chance of the 4th seed, and there is no room for error.

Obviously, compared to EDG's current hot winning streak.

DRX doesn't even have to mention meeting them at the World Championship... now they might not even be able to get in!

"Don't think too much, we can definitely do it," Deft clearly saw the opponent's reaction, patted his shoulder, and used a certain tone.

Friend Kingen also said: "I feel this mid laner's Seeing Akali is not as good as yours, we must enter the World Championship, let them see who is the real number one Seeing Akali!"

"Number one, number one," BeryL raised his hand to follow without lifting his head: "Call me when the match starts."

Zeka became high-spirited in an instant.

In fact, long before this person with the professional ID Ye played professionally, Zeka vaguely knew him—the opponent was an Seeing Akali master on the CN server, and he was barely considered a well-known passerby player himself.

Because of this, he was more eager than ever to compete with him on the field!

This is the competition between every "master."

Ye Bo in the EDG backstage naturally didn't know everything that happened everywhere, and at this moment, he was happily watching the MVP player of this match playing in the broadcast room with his teammates.

He also saw his own makeup photo again.

Entering the playoffs for the first time, Ye Bo felt that as a newbie, he could win two MVPs in a row.

The performance was quite good!!

Of course, this was just his evaluation of himself, and the whole team was cheering and jumping, and the conviction and appreciation for this new mid laner were almost overflowing from everyone's words.

Really comfortable and at ease.

Such a desperate situation in the early game, no matter whether the gap was caused by the opponent's mistake, at least he could catch it!

However, after Ye Bo was happy, he also actively reviewed the many problems in the early game of the previous match with the coaching staff...

Just at this moment.

The referee suddenly came to knock on the door and informed a match piece of information.

"Swapped people!?" Barrier confirmed and repeated in disbelief.

"Brother Ruican, this won't be that his Dao heart is broken, right!"

"Swapped in Fofo, that feeling, they should also want to change tactics," Maokai rubbed his chin.

In everyone's imagination, even if Scout's state was bad, he shouldn't be swapped.

But since that's the case, the BP considerations for the next match can perhaps also be adjusted.

Maokai quickly put forward new ideas.

And Ye Bo also expressed agreement.

Ye Bo came to the playoffs for the first time and found that the most obvious change wasn't that the players suddenly became stronger or anything.

He found that every team in the playoffs, from the player's hero pool foundation to the coordination of tactical reserves, had reached a completely different level of testing.

BO3 and BO5 need completely different things to prepare.

The swapping of red and blue sides, the tactical advance in the competition for match points, or the side-swapping BP that needs to "withstand the red side," are all great tests for the team.

There are no weak teams that can come to the playoffs.

Just like this match, after getting the blue side, BLG can also occupy a certain design counter-attack in BP.

Besides using the snatching of Sylas to suppress the selection, it also includes giving up Aphelios/Renata to consolidate the bottom lane defense, as well as the same level one invasion design.

This kind of lineup, if it weren't on the blue side, it wouldn't be selectable, and the tactics couldn't be realized.

In BP, only the blue side can act as the "questioner," letting the red side make the "response" to answer the question.

This is also the important core of the so-called blue side BP advantage.

And BLG's consideration is not hard to see; this is their way to find a way to "withstand" this red side.

"Welcome back to the live broadcast site of the playoff semi-finals! Now it's the third key match point game of the two sides' BO5!"

"Here we need to synchronize a piece of information for everyone: BLG chose to swap mid laners at the critical juncture of returning to the red side in the third game, replacing the original summer mid laner Fofo!"

The commentary desk synchronized the information and analyzed the intention of this decision for the first time.

"I think BLG might want to curb the mid lane in some way; this seems to be the key to defeating this EDG!"

Zeyuan talked freely: "Looking at the first two games, one can see that EDG's most proficient is still their most commonly used strong attack system in the summer, and this system already had a gap in the second game; the mid laner can't stand out to break the situation every game!"

"And the one small game EDG lost in the regular season stage was when Player Ye chose mid Karma; that game already proved that this might indeed be the way to solve the problem!"

Wang Duoduo expressed a different opinion: "But EDG could also see in the regular season that they have been testing lineups, they are obviously improving this problem, and the tactical reserves should be very rich..."

Some BLG fans are still looking forward to letting two and chasing three.

But more supporters believe that their own team can already study the opponents of the bubble match in advance.

Looking from this road, EDG is obviously better prepared for the match.

If you say they only know that old strong attack set, no one will believe it!

You have to know, if it were really only one set of tactics, no matter how well you use this set of tactics, there will definitely always be a day of overturning.

Even the world's strongest Xuanwu turtle shell has a chance of being beaten to death by a fly-in-the-sky flashy routine.

However, the audience's attention was mainly on the "swapping people" point.

【^. ^ Kicked to the water dispenser by Ye in EDG, and in BLG, can you still be kicked to the water dispenser by the ghost father Fo?】

【This is the kick-resistant king that the Weibo student mother loves to brag about! Do you have such a kick-resistant king in your super topic!】

【Deserves to be a "student," kicked by the grandfather, and then kicked by the father, no seniority at all! Who else can there be behind this! The brother in the bottom half seems to be really coming!】

【It really is, TES can't possibly beat JDG, right? If BLG loses this game, they really have to go play the brother 2333333】

【Used to be unable to return to LCK, now it's good, can't return to the starting seat~】

The familiar crisp clanging sound echoed in everyone's ears.

"BP started!"

"In the third game, EDG used the side selection right to come to the blue side, and still sent Gwen to the ban position first; EDG won the match, no need to change the ban position!"

Scout sat alone in the quiet room next door, dejected.

Since this is an online match, the base only separated the match room from the rest room, and he could even hear the communication and shouting from next door at this moment, which was one step faster than the delayed live broadcast screen.

And in fact, this swapping of people was almost proposed by himself.

Because he said angry words in the previous game, and Barbecue actually just said it casually during the game, but didn't really want to swap, just wanted Scout to choose a stable hero.

As a result, I didn't expect... Barbecue's words had just opened.

Scout agreed instantly!

Simply as if afraid the opponent would go back on his word!

Being solo killed four or five times in two games combined, this is simply an incredible thing for the mid lane position.

The mid lane position, as the shortest and easiest lane to survive, professional players are not fools, and they will generally be very cowardly and turtle-like when at a disadvantage.

It is easy for a rising assassin to land a "solo kill," but it is really not that easy to land a "matchup solo kill."

Especially since this is Scout, who thinks highly of himself!

Scout felt that his mentality had been greatly shaken and he had to slow down, even if he would be mocked by netizens because of this—because if he continued to play, he might break the "BO5 'being' matchup solo kill record"!

That would be even more shameful!

It's just that Scout never expected that EDG would change tactics in this game.

Both sides' first three bans—

EDG: Gwen, Jax, Renata

BLG: Seeing Akali, Sylas, Kalista

"EDG chose to self-ban Renata, then it should be wanting to first-pick..."

"Azir!?"

"EDG picked Azir, it's Player Ye's Azir, they really changed tactics!"

Azir is not the first time Ye Bo has played, and the number of times he used it in the summer season is not even small.

After all, this hero is the first choice for BP rate in the double region, no matter if you like to play it or not, you have to practice it, otherwise there will be an extra BP loophole out of thin air.

It's just that Ye Bo's Azir performance is obviously not as bright as those other heroes, which is why everyone is slightly surprised.

On the contrary, Scout was so anxious that he almost jumped up, rushed to the door of the compartment, and listened to the movement inside.

Mad, Xiba, Fack!

You don't play Azir when you play against me?

This person is definitely intentional!

Everyone knows the humorous values of Azir in the early game, there is no reason to land too much laning advantage, at most it is just suppressing health, unless the opponent makes a big mistake, otherwise landing a solo kill is a fantasy.

Scout remembered Ye Bo's previous Azir, thinking that the operation was just plain, and the understanding was obviously completely inferior to his own, always habitually rushing up to initiate and then sending himself away.

He angrily hammered the door panel, walked to one side, took a deep breath, and stared at the live broadcast screen with full concentration.

Azir couldn't win when I was in EDG... You think you can!?

I don't believe it!

Barbecue, who was in the middle of BP, suddenly heard a thumping sound from the big door behind him for no reason.

He turned his head in confusion and saw the slightly shaking iron door, then signaled the command deputy: "Is the door not closed properly? Go close the door."

Azir was indeed a bit unexpected.

If he had known it was playing against Azir, Scout would obviously be more suitable.

Playing against this kind of magic core, you either choose the same late-game big core to brush, or you choose a roaming monster that is not strong in laning to force a roam.

But now that the person is sitting up, Barbecue obviously dare not let Fofo choose these two matchup disadvantageous choices.

After all, that is the laning pressure that even Scout couldn't withstand.

"We don't care, just follow our own choices."

BLG countered by picking the Aphelios + Tahm Kench bottom lane combination.

And EDG—countered by picking Viego + Pyke!

"Pyke!? Meiko's new practice!"

"This is so swingable! Player Ye's Pyke, and even top lane Azir is possible!"

"Don't even say, TheShy really played top lane Azir in the match a few weeks ago, maybe Shengqiang-ge will too, EDG's hero pool is just highlighting a breadth!"

The red side picked Xin Zhao, and both sides entered the second round of BP.

EDG chose to continue targeting the top laner with the counter position, banning Renekton and Kennen.

BLG, because they were dizzy from the swinging, still chose to ban Draven and Sejuani, dismantling EDG's two potential combinations.

Then they picked the core of their lineup this game—Seraphine!

"Ha! Sure enough, it's this kind of thing!" Maokai waved his hand proudly.

Then he also patted Ye Bo's shoulder meaningfully.

"In this case, their top laner must choose a big core, so it can only be Gangplank and Kayle, right?"

"Ziggs can be picked first, Xuanjun, what do you want?"

Ye Bo suggested: "Feels like Camille is not bad, might be much better than Jayce and Irelia."

Shengqiang-ge nodded without hesitation: "Then Camille."

BLG, because the mid laner picked a functional hero, after all, the heroes that the top laner could pick were too restricted, finally chose Kayle, the most suitable top laner for Seraphine, for Bin.

Both sides' lineups determined.

{Blue side: EDG || Red side: BLG}

{Top: Camille vs Kayle}

{Jungle: Viego vs Xin Zhao}

{Mid: Azir vs Seraphine}

{ADC: Ziggs vs Aphelios}

{Support: Pyke vs Tahm Kench}
