Chapter 125 Congratulations on winning [Strike Back] [Extreme Operation]! Desperate top laner debuts
10 month 21 day.
The first match of the grand LOL global finals quarterfinals, Tes vs T1!, was held at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York.
On that day, no one was absent!!
Cheers and shouts came like waves.
Both the audience on site and the audience watching the live broadcast online reached an unprecedented height, because this game was the first battle between T1 and TES. Who would have thought that the two teams would meet in the first game of the quarterfinals?
On one side is the dark horse of the LPL region, which was unstoppable in the LPL summer season, marching all the way to the world championship as the number one seed.
On the other side are the veterans of the LCK region, who have the largest number of fans in the world. Among them, the single player Faker is arguably the greatest player in the history of lol.
Both sides have top players, and T1 has never lost a game against LPL teams in the World Championship, so this game is the focus of everyone's attention.
Everyone wants to know, will T1’s undefeated record be broken?
Everyone wants to know, will Faker be defeated by this newcomer?
Everyone wants to know, is T1 more skilled, or does this newcomer have the courage to challenge the king?
Because of this, even two days before the game started, the topic of Tes vs T1 was the hottest!
And today, with the start of the competition, online barrages are endless!
[I guess T1 wins, 3:0! ]
[3:0 is nothing, T1 might be able to defeat TES in 15 minutes! ]
[The above poster, please don't be so excessive. At least give TES 20 minutes? ]
[20 more? Even 15 minutes is too much for me. ]
【Come on T1! The four little ones must also perform steadily today! 】
[To be honest, TES actually performed pretty well in the LPL? But unfortunately, the team they faced was T1, alas. ]
[If Lu ÷ was killed by a single player today, I would definitely burst out laughing. ]
[Laughing? I've prepared some funny music for him. If he gets killed by a single person, I'll do some funny music for him right there and then! ]
[You said so. If there is a real ghost video, remember to kick me! ]
Before going on stage for the official competition, the Tes club was also doing the final pre-match mobilization backstage.
White Crescent Moon looked at the people in front of him with mixed feelings.
As an old coach who has been with the team since the beginning of TES, he has witnessed the growth of these players.
From not even being able to make the playoffs in the beginning, to being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and then to winning the championship in the summer season, he knew all too well their hardships and difficulties along the way.
"Today's battle is our TES' first battle in the world championship, and it is also a battle to prove ourselves!"
"Don't feel pressured, each of you is top-notch, just play your best!"
The white crescent moon cheered loudly.
He also knew the online reputation of TES. In fact, when he learned that TES was playing against T1, he was also very uncertain.
After all, that’s T1!
Who would have thought that TES would run into T1 in the quarterfinals?
But Tes is different now. Although White Crescent can't tell exactly what's different, he always feels that.
Able to fight!
Then the White Crescent Moon began to give instructions to everyone one by one.
"Ah Shui, the hook of Dr. K on the opposite side is very accurate. You need to be careful in the laning phase and don't give him too many opportunities."
"Xiaotian, you have a heavy task today. The opposing jungler is Oner. He was a popular jungler in the LCK Summer Season. He has a good rhythm in the early stages, and his hero pool is very deep. He can play any jungler. You have to be careful."
"Left Hand, we're facing the big devil in the middle lane today. Don't fight him head-on. If you can't beat him, call Xiao Tian. Do you understand?"
After White Crescent Moon finished giving her instructions one by one, the contestants responded one after another.
Just when Bai Se Yueya was about to instruct Lu Yiming, whom he thought was the most important person, he glanced and realized that Lu Yiming was not among the crowd.
"Where is Lu Yiming? Where did he go?"
Everyone looked around.
"He's right here."
A Shui quickly gave up his seat, and everyone realized that Lu Yiming had been sitting on the gaming chair in the back, with his eyes closed and not saying a word.
White Crescent frowned.
He originally wanted to say a few more words to Lu Yiming. After all, his performance today was also crucial.
But seeing Lu Yiming resting with his eyes closed, White Crescent did not want to disturb him, thinking that Lu Yiming was under too much pressure. After all, it was his first time to participate in the World Championship, and the knockout rounds were different from the qualifying rounds.
For example, the audience at the competition venue they are currently in is nearly 10,000! The cheers are deafening! Before the contestants go on stage and put on their headphones, there is a noisy and bustling crowd everywhere.
Some contestants usually perform very well, but once they get on such a huge stage, they become nervous easily due to their poor psychological quality and their operations become distorted.
This is also typical stage fright.
However, each club will conduct psychological testing and counseling for each player before the game begins. Logically, there should be no problem with Lu Yiming's test results.
White Crescent sighed softly. He was about to go on stage, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He walked around Lu Yiming and asked everyone to make final preparations.
[Desperate Counterattack]: The overall situation in an unfavorable situation is improved by 40%! Greatly improve the host's control over the overall situation in an unfavorable situation, and it is not effective in an advantageous or balanced situation.
Lu Yiming was not resting his eyes, but was temporarily gathering some "combat power" before the game began!
A desperate counterattack. Haha, it seems that even the system agrees that T1 is a difficult opponent to deal with.
That's why he was specially given this Hextech ability.
But this is exactly what Lu Yiming needs now.
In a game, the later the game progresses, the more the top laner can do compared to other positions.
Solo, support, teamfight, take damage, limit C position, divide the battlefield, etc.
Although he seems to be a team tool, in fact, every choice made by the top laner will directly affect the situation of the battle and even determine the outcome of the game!
With great ability comes great responsibility!
Although this does not conform to Lu Yiming's "mixed learning".
But in such a crucial game, if he could continue to perform well, he could have made it to the quarterfinals and helped T1 reach the pinnacle of success.
Moreover, Lu Yiming is actually very clear about the strength of his own players. There are too many uncertainties in the bottom lane. A Shui dares to play, but the laning details in the double lane may not be as good as those of Xiao Lu Bu and Xiao K. Zuo Hand can fight with Faker 55- in laning, but his role in team fights may not be as big as Faker, and invisibility is also a common thing. As for Xiao Tian, his mentality is too bad, and it is difficult for him to play the role he should have in a disadvantageous situation.
Once T1 controls the early game, it will be difficult for them to have a late game.
Basically, it was a ten-minute vanguard, and the third small dragon turned into a big dragon in twenty minutes, and then they were split and pulled, and finally the highland tower was worn down. Then T1 relied on the huge advantage to push forward and end the game. It was a classic T1 rhythm style.
So he definitely can't get by today.
Once the team falls into a disadvantage, he must stand up!
Although this Hextech ability has great limitations and can only be used when the situation is disadvantageous, it is better to be prepared. If you can win easily all the way, then there is no point in purchasing Hextech.
Lu Yiming bought it decisively.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained [Desperate Counterattack]! ]
[Current points balance: 3332! ]
Recently, Lu Yiming has also accumulated some lying points.
The remaining funds are probably enough to buy one or two Hextech capabilities. Lu Yiming glanced at the newly refreshed Hextech in the window.
[Extreme Operation]: When HP is below 40%, operation ability increases by 20%.
Lu Yiming had already received the reward for this Hextech before, but it would not be a loss to add additional capabilities now.
Buy, buy, buy.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained [Extreme Operation]! ]
[Current points balance: 751! ]
There are not many points left. After all, there is not much time to prepare from the qualifying round to the quarterfinals.
On the stage.
When the host read out the name of the TES team, the whole venue was boiling, but most of them were fans of T1.
After all, as a veteran strong team, the number of T1's fans is still quite terrifying.
"Next, let us welcome the four-time champion from the LCK region, T1!!!!!!!!!"
As T1's name was read out, the entire venue was instantly filled with cheers. Looking around, all you could see were T1's team uniforms, and all kinds of cheering banners also covered the entire venue.
In comparison, the number of fans belonging to TES seems rare.
But even so, that touch of red still burned in the audience like a raging fire.
“TES! Come on!!!”
"Lü Shen! Kill the big devil today!!!"
"Ah Shui, come with me today, don't be scared, just do it!"
"Xiaotian, you are the boss of your jungle today! Protect Lu Shen!"
"Left Hand, don't be lazy, you must stand up at the critical moment!"
Although TES did not have many fans, they were shouting heart-wrenchingly and were not at all suppressed by the momentum of T1 fans.
Backstage.
They were about to go on stage, and the TES players put on earmuffs to make final adjustments and warm-ups.
At this time, Lu Yiming finally opened his eyes. He stood up, his eyes were as calm as water, without any fluctuation.
Seeing Lu Yiming like this, Ah Shui couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and whispered to him, "Don't be nervous, just do it like we usually do in a training match!"
Lu Yiming also smiled and shrugged nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I won't be nervous."
After saying that, Lu Yiming looked up at the stage, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes.
T1.
Today, I will let you know.
What is, the ultimate! single! ! ! !
A passionate pre-match propaganda video with tough talk was played before the game.
Everyone at the scene was watching the promotional video quietly.
All the players showed their faces in the promotional video, and Faker even said directly in the promotional video: "Even though I am far away, I have heard of the reputation of Tzun, the rising star of Tes. They say that his top lane strength is very strong and he has led the team to victory after victory. But now that you have met me, your winning streak will end here."
Accordingly, in the end, Lu Yiming stood in front of the tall building, and four teammates came over from the surroundings and stood beside him firmly: "We have accepted the challenge of T1, and the curse of LPL will be broken by our own hands!"
This promotional video made many people feel their scalps tingle.
Especially for many old players from ancient times, Faker has always been the highest mountain and the longest river, and the hurdle that LPL can never overcome.
In the past decade, countless talented players have emerged, but they all failed in the end and fell in front of Faker.
And today, an all-Chinese team once again appeared in the LPL region, once again facing the ultimate devil Faker!
Is it a stepping stone or making history?
Revealed soon!
"Okay, welcome everyone to get ready in the morning to watch the first match of the 2022 World Finals quarterfinals BO5 that we bring to you!"
"Let's first enjoy the debut ceremony of the first eight players in the quarterfinals."
The Haier Brothers are still the hosts today.
After a useless appearance, the BP phase immediately began.
The first three players are.
T1: Arisa, Fiora, Jax.
Tes: Cat, policewoman, sword demon.
"Because we are on the red side, we have a lot of things to ban. It looks like it will be Catwoman and Aatrox. The first main needs to be stable."
"Yes, mainly because Jax is banned, which is actually equivalent to forcing you to ban Aatrox. We all know that Aatrox is very strong in the current version. If you don't ban it, it will be very uncomfortable for the blue team to pick it, so you still have to respect Aatrox."
"T1 also gave Tzun some respect accordingly. They must have studied the TES summer game videos. Tzun's Fiora performed very well at that time."
"Then I think Yongen is a small favorite now. I think T1 is likely to grab him. But even if they release him, can our Tzun player get him?"
While everyone was worried, the blue team's first floor unexpectedly chose Graves.
"Oh? Graves, it seems like they are trying to ban instead of grabbing him. They just don't want to give him to Tes. Besides, the mid laner can still play some tools, so Graves can make up for the damage."
The white crescent moon stared at Lu Yiming at this moment, fearing that Lu Yiming would choose something strange on the first floor in seconds.
But of course Lu Yiming didn't do that, he was not stupid.
He just casually showed off his Jayce and scared the opponent. Even the commentator could tell that he was joking.
Immediately afterwards, the red team selected Aphelios and Viego.
Correspondingly, T1 continued to choose Galio and Ashe.
Facing this kind of long-range line-dominant combination in the bottom lane, it is difficult for Tes to choose. Before the game, they have analyzed that T1's bottom lane likes to play two shooters, or some other line-dominant heroes, to help with the jungle, but the problem is that Tes cannot restrain the same two shooters or soft supports, and cannot come up with the same lineup.
Followed by.
The blue team continued to ban Galio and Taliyah.
The red team banned Leblanc and Sylas.
Tes picked first and grabbed Akali for Knight.
T1 locked down Shen and Viktor.
The remaining counter position was left to Lu Yiming.
White Crescent frowned and looked at Lu Yiming: "Can Crocodile be played? Crocodile is a good choice for our lineup. It can be a top and has output. It can help the Ruined King harvest and is also good against Shen in the line."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Look, I, the crocodile, will beat him to pieces!" (End of this chapter)
