Chapter 150 Emperor Level 7! Fighting to the end without regrets? Unexpected big move!
Chapter 150 Emperor Level ! Fighting to the end without regrets? Unexpected big move!
"Two to zero! EDG wins another game and wins the second round of this knockout match!"
Guan Zeyuan almost couldn't contain his inner excitement. As long as he wasn't playing against Samsung, he would be the Iron-Blooded Wolf Warrior of LPL!
The emotions of the two people beside him were also aroused: "We now have three match points, and we are only one step away from the semi-finals!"
"But it's such a pity. In the last wave, I was just a little bit away from a pentakill!"
"There hasn't been a pentakill in the group stage or the main stage of this World Championship so far."
Although the final pentakill was a bit regrettable.
However, it is understandable.
After all, you just beat him up, and in the early stage you arrested and "tortured" him in the jungle - it was this Pike that prevented Graves from clearing a few safe jungles!
The DK people at the scene all looked unhappy.
Canyon left the table with the cup of water in his hand. He raised his hand mechanically to drink water as if his eyes were lifeless, but it was obvious that the fingers holding the cup were turning slightly white.
Xu Xiu curled her lips and stood up.
Except that the expressions and actions of these two people are obvious.
Niu Guli's expression was rather dull, as if he was unwilling but also a little confused.
No buddy, is this the top laner?
Having been away from the court for more than half a year, he has actually been adjusting his condition since returning this year, trying to find himself two years ago.
By the way, forget the psychological shadow of last year.
But these two games really made him feel confused, as if he was just being pulled to the top lane to last hit.
You lose as you keep patching up!
Two games in a row.
Niu Guli suddenly felt that this game was not so interesting anymore
The LCK commentary booth next door was in complete silence, and they became anxious when they saw this scene.
Seeing the dejected expressions of his players under the director's camera, the Roaring Emperor hesitated for a long time before speaking with difficulty, "The game was actually completely stabilized in the mid-term, and it can even be said that the situation was very good. Unfortunately, a wave of small group annihilations in the middle lane and the top lane tore the game apart in an instant."
"To be honest, this will inevitably have some impact on my mentality, but I must cheer myself up. DK really doesn't have much time left to adjust!"
"We originally thought that we were standing on the edge of a cliff. If we took another wrong step, we would be gone from this World Championship. DK had to give everything!"
At the end of the first half of the quarterfinals, EDG was the only team left in LPL.
The Korean Internet is spreading the beautiful wish of a "four-strong civil war".
Especially after receiving the news that all four EDG players were infected, Korean netizens even imagined that DK could crush the opponent with a sweeping momentum!
Who would have thought that dreams are the opposite of each other!
Now it is EDG that has won the first two games and got three match points!
Compared to the LCK commentary desk's unconcealed frustration, the official commentary on the scene in New York was much more neutral and objective.
"This game is simply an incredible assassin catwalk show!" North American ace commentator Jatt praised it highly.
"Even before the World Championship started, I had heard that a young assassin talent had appeared in the LPL region! This game undoubtedly proved to us that the rumors were true!"
Sitting next to him was Andrew day, the official commentator of last year's S11 finals. At this moment, this guy's face was even more fanatical.
"I witnessed the match between these two teams in Iceland last year and witnessed the miracle of the Knights. But to be honest, I never expected that a year later, when the two teams met again after personnel changes, the scene would be like this!"
"I have to say that this amazing player from the East left me with an impression no less impressive than that of the FMVP player!"
"Of course, we also have to remind everyone that the game is not over yet!"
"DRX from the top half also trailed 0-2 in the quarterfinals, but they managed to pull off an epic comeback against JDG, coming back from - down to win -. Anything can happen in Summoner's Rift until the very last moment!"
Ye Bo trotted back to the backstage with a cheerful step and reconnected with his teammates.
With three match points in hand, he was naturally very excited, especially the last wave when he was just a little bit away from getting the S-League pentakill.
But at the same time, Ye Bo kept reminding himself in his heart.
The biggest hidden danger of this BO5 is its duration, so at this point it is definitely not the time to relax!
He suppressed his emotions and did not relax his vigilance. After a simple celebration, he began to review and prepare.
And the other side.
The mood backstage at DK was clearly depressing.
Everyone remained silent, except for Danny's big mouth which kept opening and closing, and he didn't pay any attention to the curly hair that was swinging back and forth on both sides.
"Wake up, you all need to wake up!" He kept slapping the notebook with his palms.
"Why are they so eager to act when the situation has been stabilized? Why are they so undisciplined? Why do they have to give us a chance?!"
"The opponent also picked Tsar in the last game. Why were they able to stabilize in the mid-game, but we couldn't?"
"And Xu Xiu, why did you go up there?!"
Xu Xiu, who was named, was timid and didn't dare to say a word.
Even though Xu Xiu is also a cornerstone figure in DK's team building, he is very respectful to Coach Danny and dares not contradict him at all.
What's more, we analyze it from the perspective of hindsight.
That wave of Tsars really shouldn't have been on.
After all, no matter what, it is impossible for Pike to cross the tower.
But the truth is still that even the coach of the team cannot empathize with the players on the field and cannot fully understand Xu Xiu's thoughts.
In fact, that wave was a PK between the fattest people in the two teams. Whoever died would be a big deal!
Xu Xiu just wanted to win and wanted to carry the game to win.
This is how the game is. If you want to carry, you have to take the risk of being blamed. Otherwise, why would so many people be "invisible" every day in the arena?
And from the surface, it was indeed the Tsar who had the advantage and the opportunity!
Who would have thought that the other side could be so manipulative.
Seeing Xu Xiu remained silent, Danny turned and looked at Canyon again.
Don't be fooled by the harsh way he curses.
But this pair of favorite mid and jungle players during the DWG period were the core players he valued the most.
It can be said that today's game and even this world championship are entirely dependent on these two people.
The original DK relied on Beryl's brain to hold the team together, but now that the brain is gone, the jungler can only do multiple things.
Although Canyon is very good at controlling the rhythm in the jungle, he is more focused on protecting his own jungle core.
As for other aspects, such as control over the overall situation, map detection and management capabilities, and team operation capabilities, they are all at an average level!
The most direct one is when Pike escapes from the wall and goes to the bottom lane, kills a single player in the middle lane and goes to the top lane, or even invades the jungle several times in the early stages.
If DK had someone who could detect these key flaws and give timely reminders and instructions, perhaps the outcome would have changed.
But Danny knew it, too.
Be it Xu Xiu or Canyon.
In fact, most of the time they did not make "mistakes" themselves, but rather their opponents "created" opportunities for them!
If Pike didn't have a deterrent effect on the Tsar in the lane.
If the male gun's jungle area was not forcibly invaded by Pike.
Danny swallowed what he was about to say and turned to look at Niu Guli.
He also valued this beloved general very much, but now felt a little regretful about him. At this critical moment, he could only ask frankly.
"Xia Quan, do you think you can break through the opponent's top laner if Jian Shi helps you?"
Niu Guli heard this and paused hesitantly.
Then he slowly replied: "I'm not absolutely sure. The opponent's top laner played too steadily. And there were several waves where I felt that he was ready to give me a chance, but he stopped in the end."
"I can guarantee that there will be no problem with the laning phase, but I am not sure about the breakthrough."
Niu Guli was very honest.
He could actually feel that even though his condition and strength had declined a lot this year, the same was true for his opponent.
Purely speaking in laning, he can still suppress the opponent's top laner.
For example, in this match between Shen and Aatrox, Aatrox should have the advantage in the laning phase, but even until the end, the score was still 50-50.
But just as he said, Saint Spear's style is too stable.
He is the kind of top laner who would rather lose money than give others a chance - this is very different from their offensive top laners who fight for every last ounce of effort.
Plus, there seems to be some "unexplained force" protecting
"Okay, then let me tell you about the BP for the third game." Danny stopped asking questions after getting a positive answer, and his tone gradually softened.
"I also had problems in the last game. We fell into their trap in the BP. Actually, we should have done it in the last game."
Danny began to talk about what he had thought of before the game was over.
Beryl, who was outside the game, could tell from the game content that the BP was fooled.
As the opponent, Danny could naturally notice it.
And at this time.
The live broadcast room of the event has already shown the MVP picture of this game.
Not surprisingly, Ye Bo’s makeup photo with one hand in his pocket and high spirits appeared again!
There seems to be a huge contrast between the boy with a sunny smile and scissor hands and the cold-blooded assassin holding a bloody dagger behind him.
At the same time, the terrifying data also caused heated discussion.
KDA: 14/1/3
Average damage per minute: 666
Team damage percentage: 23.46%
Kill participation rate: 100%
Economic difference: +7250
This is Ye Bo's 5th MVP in this World Championship.
In fact, he only got 3 MVPs at the end of the group stage, and only won them against T1's Leblanc, G2's Pike, and DFM's Akali in the first round.
Perhaps due to the characteristics of the hero, the data of Nunu could not reflect the key to the rhythm, so he missed the opportunity.
But we came to the quarterfinals.
He has won two MVPs in a row, it's like he's here to purchase goods.
In just a moment, one person's MVP number exceeded half of the entire team!
【《666》】
[Thief! I killed 14 people and this is the only damage I got!]
【↑↓? () () () () () () () ()! ? 】
[You can’t see a 100% participation rate, right? ]
[Brother Yun is like this, isn't it terrifying enough that a hero like Pike can deal so much damage? He is simply a fucking output machine! ]
[No, buddy, forget about the low kills, but isn't a 17% participation rate of kills a bit too scary? If there is no Pike, no one can be killed! ]
The short halftime passed quickly amidst the overwhelming discussion online.
Both players returned to the stage.
And when Ye Bo returned to the stage alone again, the audience instantly burst into even louder cheers.
On the other hand, the eyes of all DK members after readjustment seemed to be full of determination!
The powerful and crisp sound echoed in my ears.
BP panel is presented quickly!
"Here we go, the match point for both teams, DK continues to choose the blue side!"
Since the side selection has not changed and EDG won the previous game, there is obviously no reason for them to change their tactics and continue with the ban position from the previous game.
DK did make some slight changes.
First round of ban——————
DK: Akali, Leblanc, Policewoman
EDG: Ruined King, Cat, Sword Princess
"Why is DK still banning mid laners? In fact, the last game has already proved that YE's hero pool is not so easy to be targeted!" The CT guy on the LCK commentary desk was full of doubts. "Does it feel more reasonable to ban Maokai?"
The Roaring Emperor could vaguely see some clues: "Maybe they have their own deep meaning."
"DK directly grabbed Sylas on the first floor, but EDG still counterattacked and took down Aatrox and Treant!"
Seeing that the opponent did not give the last ban to Aatrox, Ye Bo also chose to continue to ban Fiora and use the top and jungle combination from the second game.
Everyone has worked hard to get into the groove, and now the other side is actively releasing the ball like this, there is no reason not to grab it.
However, Ye Bo has already sensed the changes.
The adjustments made by DK seem simple, as if they just released Sylas and replaced him with Caitlyn to be banned.
But this is definitely a masterstroke!
The first thing Sylas can do is to fight against Counterpike.
The laning phase of mid-lane Pike obviously relies entirely on hard damage and fighting ability——and Sylas is stronger than Pike in this regard!
Moreover, Sylas's weak early-game pushing ability was completely unaffected when facing Pike.
Not to mention that he can also steal Pike's most important ultimate move, and also has a powerful snowball ability!
Finally, Sylas can also effectively counter Renata + Treant.
After all, the strength of these two heroes lies in their "road blocking" ability, and as long as Sylas counterattacks at the same time, he has a chance to use one ultimate move to block the approach of two ultimate moves.
obviously.
This was because the opponent's coach quickly read EDG's lineup structure in the previous game, so he was able to move the fulcrum in such a short time just by changing a ban position.
"DK chose to grab the Luna combination for their bottom lane in this game!"
"This is also the most frequently used combination in DK's bottom lane besides Aphelios!"
"After a little hesitation, EDG finally took down Tsar on the third floor, which was a great hero for YE to pick in the first game!"
In fact, to be honest, Tsar's performance in the first game was mainly stable, and the winning point was also the combination of cats and the unmanageable lineup.
It did not give much deterrence to the DK generals.
At least put the Tsar. But he can't be as capable as Pike!
However, Ye Bo probably guessed the other party's true purpose.
Banning Akali and Leblanc in one round is actually not targeting the hero pool - these two heroes are the heroes with the strongest early-stage fighting ability in the current mid-lane mage core environment!
This includes grabbing Sylas and grabbing Luna on the second and third floors, which is the offensive combination that DK knows best in the bottom lane.
It is obvious that his purpose is still to commit evil, that is, to invade the jungle area!
But nevertheless.
Tsar’s stability, fault tolerance, and bottom-supporting ability are still the best choice in Ye Bo’s mind today.
Second round of ban————
DK: Ice, Renata
EDG: Male Gun, Crocodile
When the second round of bans ended, Ye Bo became more certain of the opponent's thinking.
So he chose to ban Graves, so that there was no option in the jungle that could suppress Maokai, and then he also eliminated the strong hero in this half of the jungle, Crocodile.
On the other hand, DK.
Renata can destroy Draven and Skateboard, the best combination of two offensive heroes at the same time, and Ashe can also solve the problem of seizing the right to the bottom lane.
Both parties know what the other is thinking.
just.
At this point, Ye Bo was a little troubled.
It is now clear that the opponent wants to invade in the early stage. If another development AD is selected in the bottom lane and matched with the Tsar in the middle lane, the jungle area of the tree is likely to be completely lost.
The only suitable early-game strong AD left seems to be Skateboard.
But the focus is on skateboard shoes.
Danny’s BP ability is not weak. After two consecutive defeats, he finally found the flaw—he also discovered the problem with EDG’s bottom lane today!
Viper, who was originally a stable second C position of the team, chose Twisted Fate in the first game and Caitlyn in the second game.
In fact, they all choose "tool" and "tactical" heroes.
According to the collision between team attributes, when playing against a team configuration like DK that has an obviously weak bottom lane, Draven, Skateboards, Kai'Sa, and even Tristana and Good Luck should be able to be used freely before Viper!
But it didn't happen, and there were more than one obvious mistakes in the last game.
If it weren't for the fact that the policewoman had equipment and could use her range advantage to push forward and show her brainlessness, the outcome of the game might have been difficult to predict.
So, in Danny's opinion, EDG may continue to choose relatively stable heroes such as Annie or Aphelios for the bottom lane, so that the offensive power will be in their hands!
Even if the opponent insists on choosing it, the competitive state he shows may be a breakthrough.
What's more, there are only a few auxiliary tools left that can be paired with skateboard shoes.
"We may still have to choose Skateboard Shoes, otherwise we won't be able to fight back against the opponent's invasion in the early stage." Ye Bo saw the stakes and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"
"Yeah." Viper's voice was not loud, but he quickly gave an affirmative answer.
He and Saint Spear have different personalities.
Even if I am not in good shape, my confidence in myself never diminishes.
"EDG locked up Skateboards on the fourth floor, and DK picked Gragas to supplement their team-opening tactics!"
'This hero is for the top laner, right? I remember that Uncle San doesn't play this kind of hero! ? '
"What is this! Is this DK's secret weapon!?"
The fifth floor of the blue team lit up and locked onto a hero that no one had ever and absolutely could have thought of.
Shadow Scythe-Kayn!
Ye Bo was also a little surprised.
He had anticipated that DK might be hiding something, but this hero still exceeded his expectations.
Of course there is no way to know it, because there is no information that can be predicted.
This hero has not appeared in any game in any region around the world throughout 2022, which is almost as surprising as Nunu.
He just happened to appear on the stage of the quarterfinals so suddenly!
"This is Kayn's first appearance in the entire S12 season!"
"When DK stood on the edge of the cliff, Canyon chose to believe in himself and used his unique skills!"
"DK really fought to the end with no regrets!"
This completely unknown and unfamiliar hero made Ye Bo feel fearful.
Not only him, but other teammates in the voice chat were also confused.
After all, this hero is unpopular in even ranked matches, let alone competitions. It is a completely unexpected choice!
"Master Ye, what should I choose in this game?" Meiko asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
"I didn't expect that Uncle San still has this thing." Jiejie's hoarser and weaker voice also came in a low voice.
"Don't worry, let me think about it."
During the days when he was in charge of BP, Ye Bo spent a lot of time getting to know many heroes, and far more than just the mid-lane heroes - after all, only by fully understanding the abilities of the heroes can one make better arrangements for the BP of each lane.
However, since Kayn's choice was so rare, it was impossible for him to practice and understand it.
Ye Bo was very clear about the importance of this game.
Although he had three match points, he still tried his best to end the game in the third game to prevent his teammates' condition from further declining due to time and adding more variables.
Think of this.
Ye Bo made two decisive decisions.
Because of the proficiency points added by the "experience pool", you must first have the most basic level 5 proficiency control before you can use it.
So Ye Bo used his minimum living allowance to obtain the last remaining "Level 5 Hero Card" - he quickly selected [Kayn]'s basic understanding of level 5.
Then he reopened the support hero selection bar.
Thinking about the few options left
“Tresh! EDG’s fifth floor chose Thresh!?” Guan Zeyuan asked with a little surprise.
"After entering the quarterfinals, the number of times hard supports have appeared has been very limited. The mainstream teams now seem to prefer using soft supports."
"But Meiko's Thresh is also his signature, and there are not many supports that are compatible with skateboard shoes. Pairing with Thresh can be regarded as a classic combination from ancient times."
“Let’s look forward to the match between the two sides!”
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
《Blue side: DK丨丨Red side: EDG》
[Top order: Gragas vs. Darkin Sword Demon]
[Jungle: Shadow Scythe vs. Twisted Treant]
[Mid-lane: Liberator vs Desert Emperor]
[Shooter: Holy Lance Ranger vs Spear of Vengeance]
[Assist: Tidecaller Mermaid vs Soullock Warden]
After the lineup is locked.
Ye Bo, sitting alone in the middle of the contestant seats, leaned back slightly on his chair and closed his eyes.
The director quickly captured this scene, quickly enlarged the screen and gave a close-up.
And Ye Bo at this time.
He opened the "Experience Pool" that he had accumulated over such a long time, and used the "Experience Infusion" function for the first time.
In fact, since the first time he communicated with Li Xianghe, his Tsar has been close to level six. After subsequent practice and two games, he has naturally completed the promotion.
But at this moment, he was pouring out his accumulated pool of experience!
Golden spots of light rose from the experience pool and rushed madly towards the Desert Emperor's avatar frame!
Until the light spots in the experience pool were almost at the bottom.
A crisp sound rang out quietly.
[Congratulations! "Desert Emperor" has reached the peak level 7! ]
Ye Bo’s sixth level seven hero built a golden body on the field.
Summoner's Rift is coming.
He was also rapidly absorbing and understanding the knowledge emerging in his mind.
"The game begins!"
".Wait, it seems like Uncle San has made some moves since the beginning!?"
(End of this chapter)
