Fierce shooter

Mentioning FPX Li Luo can’t help but feel a little emotional.

There is a connection between FPX and EDG this year, but only Li Luo knows about this connection.

As a new team, FPX's lineup this year can only be regarded as ordinary in the eyes of the public.

The bottom duo is Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, who have not had much success so far.

There are two people in the middle unit, namely stateless and bing.

Wu State is the main figure that triggered discussions about the FPX lineup. As the mid laner of the old OMG, Wu State has a certain fan base, but his fan base is gradually declining.

The exposed incident is only secondary, after all, e-sports performance is the main thing.

The key lies in performance.

Since the S4 season, stateless performance has been declining day by day, and it is getting worse year by year.

And judging from the team promotional video when he joined the team, it seems that he is not very satisfied with FPX's lineup.

In addition, FPX has introduced the RNG team's substitute jungler Pepper for the jungle position.

Pepper played in the starting lineup for a period of time during the 2017 LPL Summer Split when Xiang Guo was ill.

Moreover, his starting record is quite good, and he is considered a very good jungler in terms of his playing style.

It's a pity that he didn't get a chance to play with the team in the S7 World Championship.

Now that he has moved to FPX to start, it can be regarded as a new life in his career.

The connection between the two teams lies in the top lane.

During the winter transfer period, former C9 top laner Ray announced that he was leaving the team and was preparing to return to the LPL to play games.

According to Li Zhe, EDG originally planned to get in touch with the player Ray, but they gave it up after Jin Gong came along.

Ray bounced around several times during the transfer period and finally joined FPX.

Before Li Luo was reborn, Ray belonged to EDG.

Jin Gong belongs to FPX.

Now look at it, it is a swap on the top order.

Li Luo once heard a sentence.

The five people who have won the world championship may not all be the strongest among the five positions, but they must be the right ones and the most suitable for each other.

Li Luo when he was in the IG team was not his original appearance and style of play.

What Li Luo did was to transform his style into the one most suitable for the IG team when he was able to do it.

In a five-player team game, someone is bound to make sacrifices for the team.

Li Luo knew this.

FPX's lineup this year is not very good in most people's eyes.

But EDG will not underestimate it.

What kind of chemical reaction will occur between players will only be clear after playing.

Just as Li Luo was preparing to train, Meiko, who was sitting next to him, said a long-sounding "Fuck...tang..."

The broad and profound Chinese culture is destined to show different emotions in different WTF.

From Meiko's tone, his "fuck" seemed to express a kind of helplessness.

"What's wrong?"

Li Luo glanced at Meiko's screen.

Meiko is still watching the live broadcast, and now it is the post-match interview session.

The screen has been covered by large barrages like snowflakes.

"The best bot lane duo!"

"Are these true Alliance brothers?"

"Oh my god, to be honest, I was really touched, a little bit heartbroken, a little moved."

"Li Luo and Megan are good partners destined to go down in history!"

"666666!"

"Good guy, I call him good guy. If one of these two people changes gender, I also hope they can be together."

"Jackeylove cried and fainted in the toilet!"

…

Li Luo:? ? ?

"What can I say?"

Meiko handed over the headphones sourly and said at the same time: "The host who just interviewed asked Baolan why he wanted to change his ID. What do you think he said?"

Li Luo's heart moved when he heard this, and he had a vague guess.

He put his headphones on.

At this time, Baolan in the earphones was still talking.

"Brother Luo really helped me a lot and made me grow a lot, so... I'm very grateful to him."

Li Luo looked at the screen blankly.

In the interview booth, the host Yu Shuang continued to ask: "I believe the audience is very concerned about one question, that is, which ID will be written on your champion skin signature?"

"Megan."

Baolan answered without thinking. When he said this, he paused slightly: "But next time we play against each other, Brother Luo will face Jackeylove and Baolan. I believe our cooperation will not disappoint the fans."

…

The interview is over.

Li Luo took off his headphones.

"He said that the ID Megan will stay in the Bird's Nest forever."

Meiko said while observing Li Luo's expression.

"Let's train."

Li Luo glanced at him and said angrily.

IG's post-game interview undoubtedly caused quite an earthquake in the Tieba forum.

With Baolan's words, countless players began to look forward to the showdown between EDG and IG.

However, due to the AB grouping, the earliest time for the two teams to face off will be in late March.

"That's fine. Both teams have enough time to get used to each other."

"Indeed, the LPL has just started, and everyone is still in the stage of exploring the version. The later half of the game will become more bloody."

"Brother Luo will play FPX tomorrow. Last time Lwx was in NB, he was educated three times by Brother Luo's fortune teller. I remember it very clearly."

"You upstairs are frustrated. You were tortured even though I made my announcement. How dare you ignore my announcement? I'll blow your head off with one punch!"

"I bet 50 cents, this time NB... no, FPX will never be stubborn again!"

…

The showdown between FPX and EDG kicked off on January 16th.

The venue, which was not particularly large, was filled with spectators.

More than 90% of them are fans of the EDG team.

After all, FPX is a new team, and only a few people come to support offline. There are still quite a few people here mainly to support Stateless.

It is worth mentioning that the commentator for today's game is actually Guan Zeyuan.

He is paired with the popular female commentator Rita.

The bp between the two sides soon kicked off.

The three bans in front of the blue side's FPX were given to Kalista, Fortune Teller and Zoe respectively.

"Zoe will be severely punished in the next version. The official server has been updated, but the competition server has not yet been synchronized. It should not appear in the ban position in the next version. I feel that this update is a bit targeted at playing Zoe. A better team to play.”

Guan Zeyuan said in the commentary box.

"Yes, the mid laner Socut of the EDG team happens to be one of the three Zoeys in our LPL division. He is one, Rookie is one, and the other is JD.com's mid laner Toothpaste. These three players played Zoe's in the German Cup. The performance was quite impressive.”

Rita commented on the side.

"Yes, on the other hand, the first three bans of the EDG team are more conventional. Ornn, Tsar, and...Liu Qingsong's Thresh were given to them respectively! Respect the support, that's it."

While Guan Zeyuan was talking, the players on both sides were also discussing.

"If they take the prince, we will take Malzahar Mantis directly."

Li Luo communicated with Abu, and Abu nodded and said, "That's it."

FPX chooses the prince instantly on the first floor.

This is pepper’s signature jungle hero.

At the same time, the midfielder combination of the hero Prince and Malzahar has a very high winning rate.

After all, after reaching level 6, Malzahar has a big move to stably control.

It's perfect to pair with a hero like Prince who can connect chain control and deal small burst damage.

But in addition to the prince, there is another jungle hero that is very suitable to match Malzahar, and that is Mantis.

A control, an explosion.

Standard combination.

Therefore, EDG locked Mantis Malzahar in seconds on the first and second floors.

However, FPX's choice of the second and third floors surprised EDG.

They first settled on a hand of Karma.

Then locked the captain.

Jin Gong's captain was counterattacked by the opponent, which was unexpected by Jin Gong.

The EDG team locked Ezreal on the third floor.

The reason why there was no early pick was because EDG wanted to see if FPX would take ad first.

If they take it first, they will have other heroes to counterattack.

Taking the middle and jungle first was because they were worried that FPX would swing the prince to the top lane and steal the combination of Malzahar and Mantis for the middle and jungle, which would be a bit embarrassing for them.

Judging from the current situation, FPX's coach has great ideas.

Kalma can sway with the support, and FPX's choice of Kalma is suspected of forcing EDG to play Ezreal or banning Ezreal in the second round. After all, Kalma is the best match with Ezreal. Auxiliary hero.

The two sides entered the second round of BP.

The blue side FPX quickly killed the vampire and Jace.

The captain didn't have a good time meeting these two heroes on the road.

The EDG team's BP in the second round was quite targeted. They knocked out the female tank with one hand, and then knocked out Rakan.

FPX already has the prince as a team-starting hero. What EDG has to do is try to prevent Liu Qingsong from getting a more convenient group-starting point.

At the end of the banning session for both sides, the EDG team showed off a wave of their traditional skills.

"Are you here? Sure enough, the EDG team is a late arrival, Dashu! EDG chose Dashu for the fourth floor!"

Amid Guan Zeyuan's exclamation, EDG's fourth floor was locked in seconds.

Only EDG can arouse the emotions of the audience when choosing this hero.

The audience was in an uproar.

"It's just... it's outrageous..."

"What's supposed to come will come. I'm just wondering how could EDG change his gender."

"As expected of you EDG..."

"But one thing to say, don't underestimate the big tree, especially when beating the captain... This version of the captain will steal money, but don't forget that when the captain can QQ the big tree, the big tree can also tie up When it comes to the captain, the burst of aftershocks when the big tree is tied up is much higher than the captain in the early stage."

There are netizens in Tieba who are analyzing it.

If the two heroes Captain and Big Tree were taken alone, most viewers would think that the Captain would crush the Big Tree like a cliff.

But that's only true in terms of damage in late-stage team fights.

FPX's top laner Ray's face fell when he saw EDG's top laner knocking out the big tree.

He hated this thing.

To be precise, it is the Ueno combination of Geying Dashu and Praying Mantis.

These two guys come together, and if he chooses to do crazy military training in the early stage, his life will be very difficult.

EDG team battle table.

Xiaotian rubbed his hands with a hand warmer and felt quite relaxed.

Recently, Xiaotian can feel that his proportion in the team has increased.

In this game, regardless of whether he is a top unit or a mid-range unit, the chosen hero coordinates well with him and gives him enough room to perform.

However, Xiaotian did not notice the exchange of looks between Li Luo and Abu when they made this decision.

Li Luo knew Xiaotian very well.

Therefore, Li Luo knew clearly that Xiaotian needed to go through at least three stages if he wanted to truly grow into a player who could stand alone.

Now, it's just the first stage.

Build confidence in Xiaotian and let him have a preliminary understanding of his own strength.

The road Xiaotian has to go is still far away.

With the EDG team locking in the big tree, the FPX bottom lane duo finalized the combination of Lucian and Niutou.

On the other hand, EDG's counter position on the fifth floor chose Tahm Kench!

"Ezreal is paired with Tahm. In this case, the lineups of both sides have been completely determined. The blue side FPX team has the captain in the top lane, the jungle prince, the stateless Karma in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Lucian. Pair it with a cow head!”

"The red side EDG team, the top laner is Big Tree, the jungler is Mantis, the mid laner is Malzahar, and the bottom lane duo is Ezreal paired with Tahm Kench!"

"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the first matchup between FPX and EDG together!"

As Guan Zeyuan's words fell, the cheers of EDG fans at the scene sounded like a tsunami.

On the FPX battle table.

"Follow my command."

Wu State said in a deep voice: "In the early stage, I will break Malzahar's shield. If I find an opportunity, I can just come over and grab him. As long as I can hit him with a flash, he will be useless."

"Let me give it a try."

There was a hint of helplessness in Pepper's words.

Stateless is easy to say.

Little did he know that his jungler was under a lot of pressure.

Once a hero like Mantis surpasses him in early development, it will snowball and kill him like a pig in the jungle.

Any wave of risky ganks may lead to the counterattack of your own wild monsters.

He has also studied how aggressive Xiaotian is during this period.

Instead of cooperating with the stateless team, Pepper prefers to find rhythm with Liu Qingsong in the auxiliary position.

Before starting on the BP side, the coach himself thought that the hero Card was very good, stateless and good at playing, and more suitable for early game rhythm.

But Wushu refused and chose this thing.

It is indeed unlikely that Karma will be at a disadvantage in the laning, after all, this is a jack-of-all-trades hero.

But this thing wants to set the pace and carry?

It's a bit too difficult.

Liu Qingsong said nothing, and Pepper, who had an easy-going personality, couldn't say much.

Just play according to your own ideas.

At this time, Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang were already online.

They had fought against Li Luo before.

Although Li Luo's support has changed, both of them still remember his style.

In this game, Niutou and Lucian began to fight for the line rights as soon as they came online, trying to reach level 2.

And at the end of the first wave of troops, the two men had an obvious tendency to press forward.

Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang leaned together and crossed the military line to press forward.

It would be difficult for any Ezreal who stole money to refuse the temptation placed in front of him.

But to the two's helplessness, Li Luo's Ezreal held back.

Then the big Lucian was within his attack range, but Li Luo didn't use his Q skill to consume him.

"You can't fool him."

Lin Weixiang said helplessly.

In this game, Liu Qingsong did not bring Niutou's usual talent, Aftershock.

Instead, he chose the Guardian.

This is for this wave of strong attacks at level 2.

If Ezreal has just Qed Lucian, then the Guardian's talent will be triggered. The two will attack the minions at the same time to reach level 2, and use the Guardian's movement speed bonus to attack Ezreal and Tahm who are only level 1. Go first.

Even though the distance between the two is relatively long, the two who use the guardian's acceleration to grab 2 can easily gain an advantage in the laning period.

But there was nothing they could do if Li Luo wasn't fooled.

ps: Next update at 18 o'clock...this transfer period is full of internal flavor
