Chapter 142 Everyone's Eyes on You! GT vs SKT! (Second update, please subscribe)
After the first day of the Intercontinental Championship, the response online was still very lively.
The first thing to discuss is why Frog is so indifferent to the LPL region.
The three teams that are now competing, whether it is OMG, GT or WE, are all unusually cold.
The funny thing is that the LMS region suffered a crushing defeat when facing the LPL region, and they seemed to have no pressure at all, which was quite funny.
The current situation is still zero wins, which means we are 100% going to the knockout stage.
Now it depends on whether the lck region goes to the finals or the lpl region goes.
In fact, the only player left for LPL to play against LMS is JT.
There is actually no suspense when RNG faces JT.
As a result, the situation of the LPL region will depend on their winning rate against the LCK region tomorrow.
If you fail, your chances are slim.
Fortunately, the remaining three teams are GT, RNG, and WE, so everyone is still slightly optimistic.
The next day, RNG easily defeated Jay Chou's JT team.
Now the focus is all on the LCK region.
We are one game behind now, but we can tie the game by just one point.
Unfortunately, WE's condition seemed to decline a lot when facing KZ.
Even after fighting for forty-four minutes, Ben's Lulu got lost and gave away a kill.
The next game brought good news, AHQ unexpectedly defeated KZ.
Now we are back to the original situation, where we can tie the points by winning one game.
If we lose, we can only watch the LCK region enter the finals.
They have to compete against the LMS division which has only one team and seven teams.
But to be honest, I really have no interest in dealing with them. It's a complete waste of a day's time, and the frogs on the scene have already been taught a lesson.
I really don't want to see their faces anymore.
"Don't worry, we will definitely give you the chance to play against SKT." Uzi was not very familiar with GT at first, but after communicating with them for some time, they became much more familiar with each other.
"Come on, Master Dog!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely crush SSG for you! We will win! Just go and defeat SKT later." Tiger God's voice is really recognizable. You can tell he is Xiaohu as soon as he opens his mouth.
Li Yi gave them a thumbs up.
At this time, the four coaches were also communicating constantly. Samsung's tactics were actually very clear. They relied on Master An to steadily obtain resources in the wild area, and then cuvee played a pseudo four-one.
They are working hard to discuss this tactic.
In order to be able to win the game stably.
SSG are not fools either, or it should be said that LCK is also on guard, after all, they have four top coaches.
That's quite something, it directly completed the formation change.
Let Crown pick up Syndra in the middle lane.
Master An chose Gragas and started targeting Xiaohu in the middle lane.
It really made Xiaohu's Taliyah miserable.
The good news is that uzi used Jinx and Lulu to crush Ashe and Corejj's Mad Max.
All the players in the LCK region were a little stunned when looking at this scene.
The main reason is that Ashe and Sandie's fighting style is a bit too exaggerated. It is impossible for Jinx and Lulu to beat this combination.
They are also very clear about ruler's level, and he can be ranked in the top five in the league. Even if uzi's strength is indeed exaggerated, you shouldn't be beaten like this after getting a restraining hero?
Xiaohu was also single. He was under great pressure facing Syndra, so he gave up two waves of soldiers and went to the bottom lane to cooperate with Xiangguo's Prince to kill the enemy by crossing the tower.
Samsung's bottom lane duo was almost reaching level 6 when two people suddenly appeared when the line of troops pushed past the tower, which made them feel very disappointed.
Uzi's Jinx started directly after killing one person and got a double kill.
nice!
It also made the team backstage start shouting with excitement.
I was a little nervous at the beginning.
Fortunately, the stability allowed the bottom lane to develop.
Ruler looked at the large wave of soldiers in the bottom lane and sighed.
What can be done?
Their advantageous combination did not gain an advantage in laning phase, and their teammates were not easy to help.
There is really no way to deal with a four-on-two situation like this.
At twelve minutes and thirty-seven seconds, Samsung's bottom lane tower was crumbling. RNG was ready to push down the bottom lane tower and start the snowball.
Samsung has also been prepared.
As a result, the two sides directly engaged in a 5v5 battle!
However, Ruler was lifted up by Taliyah because of his careless positioning.
Miller was also shouting excitedly at this moment: "Kill the Ruler Emperor! Kill the Ruler Emperor!"
After killing Ashe first, Jinx successfully ran away. Hound moved frantically, dodged two fatal skills, and then used flash to fire a rocket in the backhand.
The show is on! This time it’s really on!
If it was at Zhengda Plaza, everyone would probably be shouting "uzi, uzi" by now.
But this is the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall, so don't expect such treatment. However, no one booed like they did on the first day. It seemed like they got a lesson.
1 for 3, RNG successfully pushed down the bottom lane tower and took the Earth Dragon, which was considered a great victory.
As for Jinx, who got a triple kill, she has completely taken off.
If he were playing the regular season in LPL, Xiaohu would still pretend at this time.
But this is an intercontinental competition, a competition where brothers fight together. It would be a pity if Lang loses.
So he is a very steady person here.
In this way, RNG naturally kept suppressing SSG around Jinx.
With this steady and cautious approach, they had already pushed down four Samsung defense towers in 20 minutes, and the economic lead was 6,000.
At 27 minutes and 47 seconds, SSG was wiped out in front of the highland tower.
Jinx once again got a triple kill and achieved an amazing performance.
Take away Samsung in one go!
"Crazy! Are LCK teams crazy? I just can't beat SKT, but can I not beat you SSG?"
The puppy stood up and bumped into the tiger cub excitedly.
It is very important to win this game.
Now the ball is in GT's hands!
The scores of both sides are tied at five wins.
"Beautiful! RNG played perfectly."
"The next game is also the most crucial one in the Intercontinental Championship group stage, the match between GT and SKT. If we can win, we can directly enter the finals..." said Wawa.
"Yes, and if we can beat SKT, it will also boost morale. The Intercontinental Championship is all about the cooperation of the teams in the region. Playing a BO5 requires a lot of strategy, just like Tian Ji's horse racing."
"Yes, so I think it's more stable to play from the finals onwards."
"That's right. Next, let's see how GT performs. GT has proven their strength to everyone in the mid-season tournament, so I am still optimistic about this game."
Although Frog had no team to support, they chose not to leave because of this last game. They just wanted to see GT lose the game. It should be a sure thing that Flash Wolves can't beat SKT, right?
After struggling for so long, in the end, I will have to play in the knockout stage just like them.
Take this opportunity to influence your mentality, then tomorrow's game may be secure. Although our LMS region cannot win the global finals championship, we can't rank last in the continent.
lck region backstage.
After all the members of the Samsung team came back, they bowed and apologized to everyone.
After all, in this kind of team competition, someone must be responsible if the game is lost.
Edgar felt that it was a shame for his players that they lost the game to RNG.
At this stage, it is the only LCK team that lost to the LPL team.
With a red face, he told the players to go back and train hard and reflect on why they lost.
None of the team members dared to say a word and walked out of the backstage silently.
It takes about half an hour to walk from here to the hotel, which is actually not too bad...the corporal punishment is not too severe.
If I can make the coach not angry, then this trip will be worth it.
When Faker saw this scene, he wanted to say something, but Kkoma pulled him aside, so he could only sigh.
Fortunately, his coach is not like this... According to the pressure from Samsung, it is very normal to kneel down and apologize after losing the game.
"Actually, even if we lose, it's okay to just play the knockout round with the LMS division, right? Why is Edgar so fierce?"
"This is just a matter of attitude. Don't feel too stressed. GT is a very strong team in bo1 matches." kkoma said to everyone in the player channel.
"We try to win, and it doesn't matter if we lose. It's the same as what Faker said. If we play one more game, our cooperation will be better, so it's not without benefit."
"And we can take this opportunity to test GT's tactics."
For SKT, the Intercontinental Championship is both important and unimportant.
It would be great if I could win a championship, but it doesn’t matter if I can’t.
Because SKT's focus is now on the Bird's Nest.
By winning this championship, he not only achieved three consecutive championships, but also became an unsurpassed four-time champion.
This is their focus.
With GT's current state and performance, they will definitely become their biggest opponent in the global finals. Knowing this, there is not much pressure in this game.
But when I was in a relaxed state, it felt completely different from when I played in the Mid-Season Finals.
Maybe in this state, we could have won the mid-season finals.
Sitting in the battle seat, looking at GTsease's ID entering the room, Faker rubbed his hands excitedly. Here comes sease again!
Today's game will see if your condition has declined.
kkoma looked at Faker's hands which were shaking with excitement and laughed.
Faker is in very good condition and looks very energetic.
He wasn't too worried about the mid lane, but he was a little worried about the bottom and top lanes...
Huni is not quite adapted to this version, and he can't play tank heroes at all.
The tank version doesn’t allow him to play as a tank, which gives him a headache.
This means the jungler must be sacrificed, and he has to put the pressure on Peanut.
In fact, he felt it was a bit of a waste, after all, Peanut was a very talented jungler.
Just playing heroes like Sejuani and Zac all the time actually has some impact on your status.
There is no other way. He can only be a sacrifice in the current situation. This will put some pressure on Xiaohuasheng and help him grow better.
He still has the potential to become the world's number one jungler, and these sacrifices will be totally worth it if he can win the championship.
Peanut also accepted his suggestion.
……
"Welcome back, audience friends. This match is considered by everyone to be the most important one."
"Yes, I've been looking forward to it since yesterday."
"Although SKT put a lot of pressure on us in the previous games, I am not that scared today because we have GT!" Miller now began to speak in a cocky manner.
The main reason was that he won the GT championship in the mid-season tournament, which gave him a lot of confidence.
[When GT is crushed by SKT, you will behave yourself. ]
Of course, there were a lot of people in the live broadcast room who couldn’t stand Miller’s expression.
They are so arrogant after winning the mid-season tournament. Wouldn’t they be even more arrogant if they won the world finals?
"Okay, the BP officially begins. GT on the blue side, SKT on the red side."
The blue side still has a big advantage.
Directly removed several heroes that SKT had been using well recently.
Zac, Policewoman, Lee Sin.
Peanut still needs to be targeted.
SKT banned Kalista, Syndra, and Rakan.
GT naturally chose to grab the jungle excavator first.
SKT took down Sejuani and Yigun.
In this way, the strength of the top lane is directly revealed.
GT took down Lucian and Madara in the second and third hands. The laning strength was very exaggerated. Moreover, Lucian had displacement and was not easily cut by the Master Yi.
And with the fan mother, you can sneak away to the opposite side.
SKT did not lock Galio in the third pick because they were not sure whether this Lucian was a mid laner.
After thinking about it, I decided to choose Lulu.
In the second round of bp, seeing that GT did not obviously have a mid laner, they chose to ban a few mid lane heroes.
Vampire and male swordsman.
GT removed Galio and Snake Girl.
In this way, kkoma is sure that Lucian will go to the bottom lane, and there is no need to rush to help Bang take down Varus first, leaving the counter position to the mid laner.
When fighting against the Weapon Master, Jin Gong didn't want to be beaten passively, so Li Hyungjun also helped him lock down the crocodile.
Crocodile is very powerful in attacking resource groups in the early and middle stages.
It's just that you will be at a slight disadvantage when facing the Weapon Master in the later stages.
And at this moment, the fifth hero made the LPL commentary booth boil!
Because it's another "new" hero.
Tidal Sea Spirit, Fizz!
"Little Fishman?" The two brothers Wawa Miller shouted here.
"If Fizz is picked first, the pressure on the lane will be quite high. Should we take it?"
The next second, Fizz locked him directly.
"locked!"
There are big fish and small fish?
All fish?
"Hahaha, the God of Show is showing us the depth of his hero pool again. I saw his Fizz in the Mid-Season Invitational, and his performance against Flash Wolves was also very eye-catching. I didn't expect him to play in the Intercontinental Championship again!"
“It’s just that the pressure of choosing first will be greater.”
At this time, the camera was turned to Faker.
At this moment, he smiled...
