Fierce shooter

"Let us congratulate IG for easily defeating FNC and winning their first victory in the group stage! Congratulations to them!"

Amid the almost boiling cheers at the scene, Wawa loudly announced the results of the competition.

"At the same time, I hope they can maintain their form against TSM tomorrow and keep up the good work!"

Miller followed.

The audience at the scene was obviously unsatisfied.

IG's play style is very different from other teams in the current version.

The audience at the scene would have been sleepy many times while watching the previous games, if it were not for a certain player who showed the audience how to cook a delicacy that could move thousands of people on the first day of the game. , I’m afraid the game will be less interesting.

Everyone is growing at the beginning.

It will take 20 minutes to develop before starting to pick up the group.

This also leads to the fact that Double C's economic gains can only rely on soldiers and defense towers.

The defensive tower cannot be pushed down. If the C position can make its own two-piece set at the early 20-minute mark by just relying on troops, it will be considered very good.

Under the slow pace, the game between the two sides can easily last forty, fifty minutes or even longer.

Sometimes in the late stage, even the ancient dragon cannot change the trend of the team battle.

Therefore, IG starts to find rhythm in various ways in the early stage, and its fierce fighting style online can easily arouse the goodwill of the audience.

Not only domestic audiences, but also international audiences were very satisfied with the performance of IG’s debut show.

Especially the viewers in the European and American divisions, they are not as obsessed with the victory or defeat of their team as in the LCK and LPL divisions. After all, they have been Buddhists all year round.

They hope to see wonderful operations and tactical collisions.

A major feature of the S game is that every winning team must receive a post-game interview after the small game.

IG is no exception.

Li Luo suddenly realized something today, that is, people with clear logic are really scary.

As a lawyer, Su Xiaoluo's eloquence is not to be underestimated. In just a few words, he fooled Li Luo into the interview booth. He called it the first game of IG's World Championship, which has great commemorative significance. The leader and soul of the team, Li Luo should participate in the interview on behalf of the team.

This is just like the various unexpected festivals that appear in love. You can just add various meanings and it will be done.

But once it comes, let's make peace with it.

The person in charge of the interview today is Ren Dong.

This Grasp of Immortality player has not yet been arrested for drunk driving, and he is considered a relatively popular host in the LPL.

Seeing Li Luo lagging behind, Ren Dong's eyes lit up, and he quickly shook hands with Li Luo before the director switched the camera.

"Luoshen, first meeting."

Li Luo was speechless: "Call me Li Luo, or Shine."

"OK."

Ren Dong calmed down after watching the director's camera, and waved to the crowded audience: "Hello, audience friends, welcome to the post-game interview session. I am very happy to invite the adc-shine of the IG team. Come accept our interview, come on, Brother Shine wants to say hello to everyone first."

"Hello everyone, I'm IG's adc shine."

As the saying goes, once born, twice cooked.

Li Luo used to think that he was half-socially afraid.

But now, as the number of interviews he has accepted has gradually increased, although subconsciously Li Luo is still reluctant to participate, at least now he no longer has the uncomfortable feeling at the beginning after coming to the interview seat.

"First of all, congratulations to IG for winning their first victory in the S competition. As a player participating in the World Championship for the first time, does Shine feel nervous before the game? How does it feel to win your first victory? "

Li Luo took the microphone and after pondering for two seconds, he said something that surprised many people.

"Don't be nervous, I expected to win FNC."

Li Luo was no longer as modest as in previous interviews.

In Li Luo's view, one should be humble when it is time to be humble, but excessive modesty is not necessary.

As the top seed in the LPL division, why should you be nervous when meeting the third seed in the EU division?

Following Li Luo's answer, after a brief silence, the scene erupted into warm cheers again!

Ren Dong was stunned for a moment and then smiled. They continued to follow the topic and asked: "We can see that in the first game, the FNC team released your destiny master, and you lived up to expectations and decisively took it. After finishing this, I would like to ask Shine player, what do you think of the positioning of the fortune teller in this version?"

"It depends on each person. If your teammates are strong enough, the effect of using it may be stronger than the current version of the mainstream ADC. I still like the hero Destiny Master very much. I hope I can use it in subsequent games."

Li Luo smiled and said.

Ren Dong blinked and continued to ask: "The next game we will face is TSM, the top seed from North America. What do you think of the TSM team Shine players?"

Li Luo thought for a moment, and then answered: "TSM was very strong in training. If we beat them, we might have to be more serious. Our team has a new understanding of the version of this world championship that is different from other teams. It should be better in TSM." Let’s try this understanding on myself to see if it works.”

New understanding?

The audience at the scene pricked up their ears.

People always have expectations for new things.

The audience is no exception.

At this time, many viewers already felt as if their hearts had been scratched by a cat.

Why?

Why wait until tomorrow to fight?

fist! What about fists? Adjust the competition system? !

The interview with BO1 was very short.

As the two shook hands again, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

I can finally step off the stage and take a rest.

FNC will not make Li Luo nervous. What really makes Li Luo nervous is because this is the first world championship in his career.

It's the first time, it's inevitable.

According to the rules of the first round of the group stage, each team will compete on three days of the four-day competition.

The remaining two games of the first round of the IG team are tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

As a version foresight, Li Luo is very aware of the version process of the World Championship.

Although the world of S7 is generally the 7.18 version, from the first round of the group stage to the second round and then to the knockout rounds, they are all in the same version.

But in fact, it is the first time for each team to play this version of the game, and their understanding of the game will improve as the game progresses.

Those who stand still will most likely be eliminated no matter how strong they are.

Judging from the first day of competition, except for the IG team, the other teams are cautiously groping forward.

Li Luo, on the other hand, followed his own impressions of the S7 World Championship and discussed with MAFA a set of step-by-step plans.

Li Luo believes that the tactical play IG showed in the first game should have attracted the attention of some teams.

IG wants to become a team that stirs up trouble in the world championships.

Defeating FNC... is just the first step towards IG's destination.

Time flies and the next day comes.

Everyone at IG had a good rest, and the first day of competition made everyone feel confident.

Strong strength gives players confidence.

IG’s game is very early today, the first game is at 3pm.

Everyone on IG had already come to the venue to rest.

"The summer in Jiangcheng is too hot. Why do I feel hotter than the Magic City?"

Child Youshen, the fat man, immediately turned on the air conditioner as soon as he entered the lounge and stood on the air outlet of the air conditioner.

Others in IG were also sweating. They had only walked less than two hundred meters outside the venue, and the rolling heat wave was already making people feel suffocating.

"Just get used to it. Will you still be alive after reaching the top eight and arriving in Guangzhou?"

Jackeylove, who ran with her all the way, said with a smile.

"I really don't believe Guangzhou can be hotter than this."

There are currently 8 IG players in the lounge.

West has gone home for the holidays. In addition to the starting five, the substitute for this World Championship is Duke, and the emergency substitute is the child Youshen.

Jackeylove serves as the mascot.

As soon as he arrived in the training room, Mafa began to write and draw on the whiteboard, further deepening today's tactical arrangements.

Li Luo could tell that Mafa was quite afraid of the strength of the TSM team.

After all, IG really couldn't take advantage when facing TSM in the training match.

Not long after, the referee informed the players to come on stage.

Mafa stood up, looked around and said: "Today's game still needs to be focused. TSM and FNC are different."

"clear."

Everyone looked serious.

If you win the first game, you will naturally want to win the second game.

At this time, what IG is pursuing is not just as simple as qualifying for the group stage.

…

The atmosphere today was even more lively than yesterday.

Many IG fans are afraid of being toxic and dare not come to the game. Now that IG has shown its considerable strength, fans naturally want to come and experience the atmosphere of offline watching.

Before the game, Guan Zeyuan first hid in a position where no one could see him and prayed silently.

To be honest, Guan Zeyuan always feels quite complicated when he learns that he will be commentating on IG's games.

He always feels that his face has been a bit swollen recently, mostly from being beaten by IG.

This feeling of being slapped in the face all the time is not a good one for a caster.

As an LPL commentator, he should naturally lean towards IG.

But who will win and who loses in this game, Guan Zeyuan can only come to an "unable to say" conclusion based on his own understanding of the game.

As a commentator, he has a lot of gossip, and he has more or less contact with the LPL participating teams.

TSM's performance in training matches has always worried Guan Zeyuan.

Watching the director's camera pan over, Guan Zeyuan quickly composed himself and said with a smile: "Welcome to the group stage of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals. Hello everyone, I am the commentator Zeyuan."

"Hello everyone, I am commentator Eleven."

"Hi everyone, I'm smiling."

There were three people in the commentary box today, and Xiaoxiao was invited as a guest to participate in the commentary of this event.

After introducing himself with a smile, there was a burst of warm applause.

Most of the people who like League of Legends now are old players.

Especially fans of the IG team, most of them know Smile very well.

“It’s nice to invite smiles.”

Guan Zeyuan said with a smile: "The first day of the group stage is also over. I really want to know what Xiao Xiao, a player who can still be stable at a very high level all year round even after retiring, thinks about the version of the World Championship. view?"

Xiao Xiaowen thought for a while and then said: "To be honest, this version of ADC's ability to hit the front row is a bit weak, especially in the two-piece set. Without the support of the soft auxiliary incense burner, it is difficult to impress the front row, so I think support is very important.”

"Indeed, I also felt this when I was ranking recently, but having said that, I believe the question that viewers are more concerned about is... apart from those specific adcs, do you think there are other adcs that can play? ?”

Guan Zeyuan asked again.

"this……"

Smile hesitated: "To be honest, you can still see all the heroes in the rank, and it's hard to say in the game. Sometimes the player's proficiency and the team's overall understanding of the version will change a lot of things. Nothing is absolute. ."

Smile is indeed unsure about this issue.

The appearance of the fortune teller yesterday gave him a great shock.

However, IG really brought out the effect of this lineup, and the personal performance of the fortune teller was also quite outstanding, which has nothing to do with the word "bastard".

"It's true, IG is a good example, but the TSM team they faced today is very strong. This year's TSM North American LCS Spring Split and Summer Split champions, the strength of the senior brother should not be underestimated."

Guan Zeyuan sighed.

"Elder brother is indeed very strong."

Smiling gives affirmation.

Eleven, who had been unable to get a word in, seemed a little embarrassed.

At this moment, he saw the director's prompt, and his eyes immediately lit up: "The competition between the players from both sides has begun. IG has drawn the blue side, and has the right to choose first!"

"Blue side IG, red side TSM! bp starts!"

As Eleven finished speaking, the bans from both teams were swift and clear.

"IG's first three bans were to ban Prince, Jiugong and Xia respectively, and they banned Xia again..."

Guan Zeyuan frowned.

IG has indeed released a lot of smoke bombs before and slapped many people in the face.

But is Kasumi banned too many times? Could it be that they really don’t know how to play this hero?

"TSM knocked out Rakan, Kalista and... Destiny Master respectively."

As soon as the third-hand ban position was revealed, the audience was in awe.

"After learning from FNC's mistakes, TSM didn't dare to be too confident. The dramatist just pressed it. In this case, on the first floor of IG... pick Jace instantly! The shy Jace is very confident! In this world, many people are... The tank top laner meta, Jayce, is one of the few top laners that can survive in the meta.”

Guan Zeyuan's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"Jace can not only survive, this thing is disgusting. If Jace can play well, he will stably suppress any top laner in the early stage. Once the support is consumed in the mid-term, the soft support will be very uncomfortable."

As an adc, Xiaoxiao has a deep understanding of Jace's power.

Sometimes the auxiliary shield cannot be put on in time when Jace's cannon comes over.

As long as the auxiliary in this version can produce the incense burner, regardless of whether the front or back rows are very brittle, one shot will cause serious damage.

TSM battle table.

Their first and second floors quickly finalized two heroes who are not particularly popular in the current version, but have their own system.

Policewoman.

Lux.

"TSM's bottom lane is going to use a speed push route... I remember that their support player still likes to play Lux. In my impression, his Lux win rate should be over 70%."

After hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, he smiled and nodded: "This version of Lux's support is actually quite powerful, but it's just not suitable for most systems, and few people will choose to use it. But Lux is the best support in team battles." There are few heroes who can apply the incense burner effect to all teammates at once."

Guan Zeyuan thoughtfully said: "In this case, IG's bottom lane duo seems to have to choose those who can resist pressure and push the lane. However, this is also more suitable for IG's play style. Their tactics are too flexible. The shy Jace For the first choice, there is absolutely no problem in playing around the top half, as long as the bottom lane is not pushed down as early as possible and the defensive towers are taken down."

However, just as Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, IG’s second and third floors quickly finalized two heroes.

Ezreal.

Syndra!

"The strength of IG's mid laner and top laner... is maxed out, and paired with EZ jungler..."

Eleven smacked his lips.

Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to him, first frowned after hearing Eleven's words, and then relaxed.

Smile thought of a possibility.

But on second thought, this possibility is really low.

He just felt that if IG really used Ezreal as a jungler, then it would be too extreme to go to the midfield.

The main reason is that it is too brittle, and whoever is hit will probably be killed instantly.

At the same time, in the TSM team's battle table, the coach felt a lot of pressure after looking at IG's first three players.

People in the US server have always had a strong pioneering mind.

EZ jungler is also quite popular in the US server. As a coach, he naturally knows how strong this hero is in the current version.

It is easier for Mantis to defeat Ezreal in the jungle.

But their jungler doesn't play this hero.

Has your opponent also guessed this?

In this version, their jungler svenskeren likes to use wine barrels the most, followed by the prince.

So does the top order.

I like using Prince very much.

TSM often uses these two heroes to swing, and the effect is quite good.

But this game was obviously unsteady, and both heroes were eliminated by IG.

"Pig Girl, let's take Pig Girl first. We have a great chance after reaching level 6."

TSM jungler said proactively.

"Well, let's take it to Pig Girl."

The coach nodded.

No matter what you choose, you will be suppressed in the jungle.

If you choose a pig girl, at least it will be difficult for EZ to play Wind Cavalry.

With the thickness of the pigskin, EZ couldn't hope to knock out 30% of Pig Girl's HP in a short period of time.

After the two sides entered the second round of BP, IG decisively began to block the hero pool of TSM mid laner and ace player Bilson.

Snake woman with one hand.

A witch with one hand.

Two heroes who had strong initiative on the laning side were directly eliminated.

TSM on the other side decisively eliminated the Ice Archer's ADC, which tended to start a team, and then banned the small cannon.

They didn't target the incense burner monster.

After all, the Incense Burner monsters can never be banned, so their purpose is only to ensure the strength of the bottom lane push, which is enough.

On the fourth floor, TSM decisively chose Big Chong.

"These two front rows...if TSM can delay until the late stage, IG has no chance of winning."

He said with a smile and frown.

What he said is very relevant.

But there was one sentence he didn't say.

The premise is that it can really be postponed to the later stage.

Judging from the current lineup selected by TSM, this lineup is too North American.

Europe is constantly innovating their playing styles every year, but North America has always liked to choose this kind of late-game lineup. However, their turnover rate is relatively high, and they cannot play the internal flavor of the LCK division.

It's the IG team's turn to make a choice.

IG, which has no choices left on the fourth and fifth floors, has attracted great attention from TSM.

After all, as soon as these two moves came out, the tactical ideas IG chose to implement in this game naturally emerged.

The hero on the fifth floor of IG lights up.

The audience was a little stunned when they saw this hero.

Not because he was a stranger.

But...it seems like he shouldn't appear in this version.

"Titan? Hard assistant?"

There was also a hint of astonishment in his smiling expression.

While he was thinking, the fifth floor of IG was really locked!

"Titan is here to play support, so what kind of adc should we match with Titan?"

Guan Zeyuan said thoughtfully: "Varus outside seems to be okay now, and he can cooperate with Titan to control it, and Ezreal will be easier to catch when he comes over...Eh? The fourth floor of IG...don't choose adc?"

Under the spotlight, the fourth floor of IG showed the heroes in other positions.

This hero is very unfamiliar.

The audience has not seen it a few times throughout the LPL Summer Split.

Scythe of Shadow Stream, Kayn.

"In this case... Ezreal and Titan will go down the lane, and Scythe of Shadows will jungle. The problem is that this version of EZ will be a bit too weak if it goes down the lane, right?"

Guan Zeyuan looked at the locked IG lineup and was stunned for a long time, unable to recover.
