Fierce shooter

The Thorn Birds' victory in the first battle was almost expected by everyone.

It's just that this process was too smooth.

Especially for domestic netizens who have been tortured by self-media essays, when they watch a game but the takeaway has not yet arrived, many netizens feel a little guilty in their hearts.

They... actually doubt whether the Thorn Birds will have any setbacks when facing the third seed in North America? !

Guilty sin.

The game that ended in 19 minutes already showed that there was an insurmountable gap in strength between the two sides.

"To be honest, it's a bit like me going to the Bronze Bureau to fry fish."

"One thing is true. Generally speaking, in professional competitions, even if it is a crushing game, there will rarely be situations where the heroes on the three lines fail to meet the passing data. If you cover up the ID, you really think they are just random in the rank. A few players caught up."

"But no matter what, we have advanced to the World Championships, but we are just unlucky to fall into this group..."

Netizens are talking a lot.

Li Luo did not accept the post-match interview. The one who participated in the post-match interview in this game was Brother Shengqiang, who was on the road. When he came to the stage of the World Championship for the first time, Brother Shengqiang's face was red. Even if he usually escapes, but at this time At this time, his inner excitement could not be concealed.

"Things are different and people are different."

On the way back to the lounge, Xiangguo, who had been silent all the way, suddenly sighed.

He has never played against piglet, the first LCK world champion adc.

After all, piglet went to the United States after S4 failed in China and was competed by Bang for the top position.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, piglet was still the ADC of the TL team, a well-known North American club.

But at that time, North America was still dominated by TSM, and he didn't get any good opportunities, and he never reached the threshold of the World Championship again.

After leaving the protection of the team, he quickly declined.

The reason why Xiangguo lamented was because of his old teammates.

This match made Xiangguo understand that it is already difficult for piglet to gain a foothold in the North American league, but in this state, they can benefit from the dividends brought by the division to participate in the world competition, and the domestic players The old teammates lost out in the competition.

Xiangguo believes that if any domestic team participating in the bubbling competition comes to the World Championship to face CG, they can easily tyrannize this team.

Vayne, who was once killed under a defense tower by piglet Ezreal Q, may also be able to complete her revenge.

However there is no if.

All of the incense pot hypothesis only exists in the theory of "Schrödinger".

…

The second game of Group B started quickly when GRF faced off against the JT team.

Facts have proved that the strength of the LMS division has indeed been in a weakened state.

When their No. 1 seed faced Griffin, they could only maintain a little stability in the early stages of the game, and were quickly crushed by Griffin's personal ability like a torrent of steel.

In just 29 minutes of game time, Griffin defeated JT's slightly weak defense and won his first victory in the group stage.

When the two games of Group C and Group B came to an end, it was already late at night in China.

However, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the game is still high. After all, they have only watched a handful of LPL division team games and are still not satisfied.

Today's focus battle is at one o'clock in the morning.

That is, in the final showdown.

It's a strong showdown between SKT and FPX.

From the moment the S game schedule came out, the audience was extremely looking forward to this showdown.

This is also the funniest one today.

The last time these two teams played was two months ago.

At that time, the two sides tied at 1-1.

In this situation, fans on either side are dissatisfied with each other, and the two teams have been in better shape since returning from the intercontinental competition. Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, this game may be more exciting than the intercontinental competition. .

However, all good things come slowly.

FNC and HKA, the two unlucky ones in Group A... Oh no, the other two strong teams in Group A first presented the audience with a game that made countless people light up their coffee.

This game was nasty and long. As a veteran team in Europe, FNC was a little too conservative in the first round of the group stage.

In contrast, HKA is a team from Hong Kong, and their playing style is fierce at heart.

Therefore, HKA took the initiative in the early stage and won three dragons in a row.

But it is a pity that HKA's luck is not good.

Among the three dragons they got, except for the first fire dragon, the second, third, wind dragon and water dragon, it can be said that they have no effect at all.

And it is not difficult to see from the marks in the dragon pit that the next dragon is the little dragon that was refreshed nearly thirty minutes ago, and it is another wind dragon.

If HKA, which has an early and mid-term lineup, wants to win the team in the later stages of the game, Xiaolong's gain is essential.

But this little dragon... the refresh was too embarrassing.

30 minutes is the last glimpse of the early and mid-term lineup.

FNC, which plays a conservative style, got a late-game lineup. After Rekkles' wheel mother developed for 30 minutes, the standard three-piece set in hand was already formed.

At this time, FNC seemed to have woken up. They had no intention of competing for the fourth dragon, but chose to continue to push the lane and develop.

HKA became restless under this situation.

The teams in the LMS division all have one common characteristic.

That's when they feel that they may lose if they delay any longer, and their brain nerves will instantly connect with the stone man.

A muscle.

Move the dragon.

This is not to say that other teams will not do this. In fact, even the top teams in the top leagues will choose to start with Baron when the situation reaches a deadlock.

After all, the gains provided by neutral resources like the Baron are quite considerable. As long as the Baron can be taken down in the early 30 minutes, there is a chance to complete the breakthrough with the lineup in the early and mid-term.

At this point in time, as long as you can catch a little flaw in the opponent's defense and win a wave, you will have a chance to make a direct wave.

But for strong teams, using the Baron is only one of the options.

Rather than being their only choice like the teams in the LMS division.

FNC realized HKA's intention to move Baron ahead of time, and deployed their vision well.

The anxious HKA didn't even completely clear the field of vision around the dragon pit before starting to fight the dragon.

The result was that they were pulled by FNC, and finally used Rekkles' wheel mother to activate the ultimate move as the clarion call for counterattack.

Realizing that something was wrong, HKA fled like birds and beasts, but the dragon was captured by FNC.

Just when all the viewers thought that FNC was stable, Rekkles was caught with an opportunity while advancing and was taken away by HKA's reckless play style.

The situation has tilted slightly towards HKA.

The two sides went back and forth, and the game came to 45 minutes.

HKA, who couldn't figure out the situation, opened Baron again.

However, this time he faced the wheel mother dressed as Liushen.

The crazy ejection of the wheel mother helped Rekkles deal tons of damage, and also helped FNC end this stinky and long game.

Just this, plus the intermission time, BP time, and ink time, directly brought the domestic time pointer to around one o'clock in the morning.

It really made them look sleepy.

Fortunately, the match between SKT and FPX did not last too long.

However, it is worth mentioning that SKT changed its lineup in the first game against FPX.

The League of Legends 2019 Global Finals has made adjustments to the rules.

In the past, S games were only allowed to bring one substitute plus one emergency substitute.

It looks like there are two substitutes, but in fact, if the players on the field are not separated from the game due to force majeure factors, the emergency substitute will not be able to play for a lifetime.

But in this year's S competition, all teams can actually bring two substitutes.

There is no doubt that this solves the big problem for Kkoma and the SKT team.

They have been rotating the top and jungle in the summer split. Kkoma found that whether it is the combination of Khan and clid or the combination of canna and kanavi, they can produce good results on the field.

Moreover, these two groups of players have brought huge changes to the overall style of the team.

Affected by the competitive relationship, the four players of the two pairs have been training hard in the second half of the summer split and competing for positions, so their status is also constantly improving.

In the long run, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the team.

But this also caused trouble for Kkoma. Considering his style, he initially wanted to give up one of khan and canna and choose to lead the jungler.

But considering Khan's age, his training attitude, and even his performance on the field, Kkoma couldn't bear it.

You must know that in this LCK summer finals, when canna started and lost a game, Khan took over and beat Griffin's top laner for three games in a row, completely carrying the game.

It makes no sense not to take Khan.

If Khan chooses to abandon canna, Khan's stability in the knockout rounds and even the finals will be relatively poor.

At this time, Riot's announcement saved Kkoma.

He doesn't have to worry anymore.

And when he was interviewed by Korean media before the expedition, Kkoma was also full of confidence.

He stated in front of the media that he was extremely convinced that this time, SKT had the best chance. He even issued a military order that if SKT ultimately failed to win the championship, he would be willing to take the blame and resign.

Originally, Korean netizens were tired of hearing words such as "the most promising year" and "will definitely get revenge and rebuild the glory of LCK."

I still feel quite energized after hearing similar words once or twice.

The more you listen to it, the more boring it becomes.

The main reason is that you have never done it even once!

But this time netizens believed it again.

No matter how miserable Kkoma's record is in the past two years, the fact that he is a triple crown meritorious coach cannot be ignored.

Such a meritorious coach with enough honors can actually say such words of resignation in front of the media, which is equivalent to putting huge pressure on his own shoulders.

Regardless of the outcome, Kkoma's behavior is undoubtedly respectable.

And when Kkoma dared to say such things, it was not just a matter of pleasure.

He will use every game in this world championship to prove himself!

FPX is their first step to prove themselves.

revenge?

What they want to achieve is a complete crushing.

The Thorn Birds, who had returned to the temporary base, took advantage of the situation and started watching the live broadcast, and also ordered takeout.

Food delivery in Germany is expensive.

Fortunately, the son of the owner of a nearby Chinese restaurant is a fan of Li Luo. He drove a small truck to deliver free meals to the players of the Thorn Birds team. He also made some money for the players of the Thorn Birds team without telling his old father. A lobster as big as an arm.

Although this thing is not very expensive in Germany, it is only relative to the country.

Watching a game while eating and drinking is one of the great things in life.

However, when he saw the BPs presented by both parties, Li Luo's brows furrowed slightly.

Before he could say anything, Xiang Guo was already standing by and said hesitantly: "Why did FPX get the same lineup from the Intercontinental Championship? But Panson was banned. Are they replacing him with Galio? Can't this thing be replaced? Right?"

Angel in the top lane, Poodle in the jungle, Galio in the mid lane, and the duo in the bottom lane complement Kai'Sa's combination with Titan.

There are undoubtedly many combo combinations in this lineup.

The first is the top laner Angel at version t1 level. After the domestic LPL summer split ended, this thing appeared frequently in the training matches of their respective teams.

In fact, as early as the start of the LPL playoffs, someone in the Korean server was already practicing Mercy's top laner.

After reaching level 16, the redesigned Angel is no less powerful than Kassadin.

Although 957 plays relatively few C-position top laners, heroes like Mercy, whose operations rely more on the player's basic skills, are quite suitable for him.

Whether Poodle comes into the field with Galio or with Mercy's ultimate move to take on the role of carrying and cutting into the back row, Kai'Sa's entry can also be paired with Mercy and Titan's hook. At first glance, this lineup looks like Seems pretty good.

But when SKT's entire lineup was unveiled, no one would think so.

When SKT got the flexible combination of Ezreal and Karma to move down the lane, jungler Kanavi uncharacteristically did not take out the development lineup he preferred to play, but took out Lee Sin.

Faker in the middle took out Zoe and paired it with Ezreal to form a double poke.

On the top lane, Canna chose to lock Gnar to counter him when his signature hero Jayce was knocked down.

"It's too flexible. Unless SofM suddenly catches this top laner and fattens up Angel, SKT's pulling power will be too strong later on."

Brother Holy Spear also said thoughtfully from the side.

As the top laner, Holy Spear Brother knows that as long as Angel can gain weight, with FPX's entire lineup system, Angel's output environment in the mid-to-late game will be quite good.

He knew everything, how could SKT not know it?

SKT's counterattack is also very simple.

That is, before the poodle reaches level 6, grab the angel on the road.

957 also expected this. He played very conservatively in the early stage. With the two heroes Gnar and Blind Sin, as long as he saves his health under the tower better, the probability of being jumped over the tower is not high, and doinb is also Can provide timely support.

But 957 underestimated the upper limit of SKT's upper jungle operation.

When Gnar's red rage became stronger, Canna controlled Gnar to take off, and the W skill hidden in mid-air controlled the angel who was trying to move away before landing.

In the shadows, Kanavi's blind monk W flashed his eyes and arrived in front of the angel in the blink of an eye. He put on his Q skill and raised his hand to attack the floor.

Gnar kept a stone, and finally cooperated with the blind monk to kill the angel to the limit. The two took turns to switch defense towers, and both had only a trace of health left.

Doinb was intercepted by Faker's Zoe on the way to support, and was hit by Zoe's hypnotic bubble.

Even though it was just a first blood, FPX's early rhythm exploded.

In the first round of 957, after flashing and being killed, the loss of troops was enough to force the Angels before level 6 to hang up under the defense tower and let Gnar eat the tower skin.

Kanavi's blind monk stayed nearby like a bodyguard, because he knew that there was no need to go to other roads.

For old LPL viewers, that familiar feeling of suffering seems to be coming again.

faker's lane consumption was very good, and doinb was suppressed.

doinb couldn't move, and FPX was completely misfired.

Bang's bottom lane is also very impressive in the lane with Karma. Even if Ezreal is badly cut, it seems that he can still turn decay into magic in his hands.

The LPL audience, who were originally sleepy, gradually became energetic.

It’s not how exciting the game is.

But I was so angry that I couldn't sleep.

In the 31-minute game, FPX took the initiative no more than five times.

And every time I feel anxious, SKT completely takes care of FPX in just a leisurely stroll.

The back-and-forth between the two sides during the intercontinental competition is still vivid in my mind.

But now, it has become a one-sided crushing and massacre.

Who can bear this?

Inside the base of the Thorn Birds team.

Li Luo was thoughtful.

This year’s SKT…

There is something.

Two systems, varied play styles.

However, this is exactly what Li Luo wants to see.

If the opponents are all useless, then what's the point of having a grand event that only comes once a year?

Li Luo, looking forward to meeting again with this SKT team that seems to have completed its transformation!
