August 25th.

The first round of the semi-finals officially started.

GT vs EDG!

There doesn’t seem to be much suspense about EDG being able to make it out.

After all, OMG is no longer in its original state, and it is not easy to maintain stability amid internal and external troubles.

And to take a step back, even in their best form, they still don't have a very high chance of winning against EDG.

The main thing is that the ID of the factory manager is placed here. Let’s not talk about the results in foreign wars for now. The winning rate in civil wars will definitely increase by 20%, and everyone who sees it will feel a lot of pressure.

EDG has a strong team, so it is no surprise that they won the game.

GT had also made preparations to face EDG early on, so there wasn't much pressure.

Amid the cheers of the audience, contestants from both teams took their seats at the battle seats following the introduction of host Yu Shuang.

"Okay, the first game between the two sides is about to begin. I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."

"In fact, as the game entered the semi-finals, the situation of league points became clearer and clearer. The main reason was the spoiler iG. I really didn't expect them to beat WE and get this precious point. According to the advantage in the summer season, iG successfully squeezed out OMG..." As usual, Wawa first mentioned the situation of the playoffs.

"Yes...OMG, what a pity." Miller next to him also nodded.

"GT is indeed the easiest team in the fight for a place in the World Championship. Judging from the current situation, if they advance to the finals, they will surely get a place in the Global Finals. Even if they lose this game and are eliminated, they still have a great chance of advancing to the finals as the second seed." Su Xiaoyan also compared the points everyone had earned at this stage yesterday, and the qualification for the Global Finals was also very clear.

"Yes, compared to the other three teams, they are indeed the easiest. Not only that, but what's very abnormal about GT is that they haven't lost a single Bo5 match since the beginning of this year."

"But then again, version 17 is a challenge for GT. I've also looked at the ranking records of GT's mid and jungle in the past two days and found that they are indeed adapting to the Censer. They have been playing Tristana in the mid and Morgana in the jungle...but their win rate is a bit unimpressive."

"It's possible that they played very well. The ranking record is more of a trick to confuse the enemy. It depends on what EDG is thinking."

"EDG's tactical system is also very rich. If they were to have a real fight, I don't think they would have any chance."

The three commentators in the commentary booth expressed their opinions in a few words.

I wanted to continue chatting, but the director gave a reminder that the next game was about to begin.

Wawa quickly returned to the topic.

"The equipment of both players has been debugged and there are no problems. The competition will officially begin soon!"

"GT vs. EDG! The first game of the semi-final best-of-5! GT on the blue side, EDG on the red side!"

As the side with higher points in the summer season, GT has the priority to choose sides in this game.

Naturally, the blue team, which currently has the highest winning rate, was chosen.

"GT took down Sejuani first, and EDG took down Kalista."

“It’s still Kalista… I wonder if the World Finals meta will change.”

Wawa said something off topic here.

GT's last two heroes were to remove Maokai and Jarvan.

It is mainly aimed at EDG's top and jungle, and it cannot target other positions even if it wants to.

Because there are so many heroes to choose from.

It would be better to let both sides fight with bayonets to see which side is more skilled.

EDG banned Fiora in the second round, but was still hesitant in the third round.

nofe is still very cautious about the bp in today's game.

Because they know that as long as they win today's game, they will win the summer championship.

They feel that iG and RNG in the lower half of the group have no deterrent effect and can be easily dealt with.

"Let's move Luo. Their Tristana and Morgana don't have a high win rate. It feels like a smokescreen."

"Little brother, today's game is very crucial. You must concentrate and never give Sease any chance. As long as he can't gain an advantage in the middle, we'll almost have won half the battle."

After hearing what the coach said, the younger brother felt ashamed, but he still nodded.

If we win today's game, we can make up for all the losses we lost to sease.

The previous wins and losses are meaningless, the real key is the playoffs.

If they win the championship, won’t they be the number one seed in the end!
Even if GT can get a spot in the global finals, they will only be the second or third seed.

"Luo is still banned... Then there are indeed too many heroes released. It depends on whether GT chooses to take the jungler first or the mid laner first. There are still many choices in the mid lane, including Galio and Corki."

"But sease's hero pool is very deep. I feel that it doesn't make much sense to grab the middle lane first. If you want to establish an advantage, you still have to grab heroes from other lanes. The jungler can first bring out a digger or a Zac."

"Shen!"

"Help Jin Gong get Shen first! The top laner is a tier 1 player now."

Shen is not bad in the top lane, and he has an ultimate to support his teammates at any time. Apart from that, the W skill sword formation is crucial.

In this version, the bottom lane AD is the main focus, and the flat attack flow is very terrifying.

This functional top laner who can confiscate normal attack damage may play a decisive role at a critical moment.

Therefore, Shen was already very strong, and now his status in the top lane has risen a lot.

EDG just considered it for a moment and decided to give priority to Corki. After all the mid laners were killed, Corki's priority was raised a lot.

The most important thing is to focus on development and keep it stable.

This is what nofe hopes his younger brother can do in the mid lane. As long as he maintains stable development and lets the airplane play on his own, he still plans to focus on the bottom lane.

Then they grabbed the excavator.

Compared to Zac, the excavator's damage is more explosive and can threaten the back row of GT.

"Brother Yi, do you think it's okay for the two of us to go out directly?" Wushuang asked in a low voice.

Li Yi knew what this guy was planning at first glance.

"Are you confident? My mid-lane Tristana will have no problem shooting down the plane, but my anti-aircraft cannon will definitely crash it."

"Okay, I think my Morgana is good enough. She already knows how to beat the excavator."

Li Jiongjun thought about it and felt that this was a bit risky.

But when he looked at the subsequent game records, it was still very good overall and he was indeed getting better and better.

"If you are confident, then take it."

"Okay! Today I'll show you what Queen Morgana is!" Wushuang said with great confidence as he locked Morgana down while speaking!
"Oh? Could it be that GT will use Morgana and Tristana as the mid and jungle combination in the first game?" Su Xiaoyan was a little confused.

"Did you really choose?"

When everyone saw the cannon appear directly on the third floor, they were a little bit unbelievable, but also a little excited.

Nofe's mood is different from everyone else's. He is actually a little happy.

GT is really a bit pretentious. They haven't practiced this mid-jungle combination for long, and you dare to use it in the game? How much do you like to pretend?
It just so happens that I was a little worried about this game. It seems that we should win the first game.

Backhandedly choose the big mouth.

There are so many supports that can be paired with Kog'Maw. As long as the Censer is put on, the game will be very easy to play.

It can be either Janna or Lulu.

Anyway, they have already eliminated the mid laner and jungler.

It doesn't matter what happens on the road.

The second round of bp was relatively simple, directly targeting the AD position, and sending the two heroes, Ashe and Jinx, to the ban position.

GT did not specifically ban Janna, but only took away Lulu to prevent EDG from forming the strongest Kog'Maw and Lulu system.

The last move was to take down the big bug.

Releasing Janna and Urgot made everyone feel surprised but also seemed relatively normal.

Mouse's Urgot performance is actually not very good, and he may not be able to beat Shen just by relying on the stats.

If you take it, it will become a trap.

If you don't practice it, it will be easy to be used as a breakthrough point.

Mouse's most stable hero has been banned by GT. I don't know the impact of the loss of Maokai on other top laners, but the impact on Mouse is huge.

There's nothing you can do about it because he is one of the beneficiaries of the EDG system.

Without this system, his top-order level would be completely exposed.

As a result, there was no suspense in EDG's fourth pick, and they directly took down the Janna.

The hero Janna has a relatively big advantage in dealing with GT's first three heroes. She is very capable of counterattacking, so there is no need to worry too much about GT's forced opening. The only problem is that they have few means of forced opening.

So nofe was considering the top lane hero.

The combination chosen by GT on the fourth and fifth floors gave them a shock.

Lock the bomber and the female tank directly.

"What? Bomberman... female tank?"

Su Xiaoyan was also very confused and found it hard to understand.

However, ever since the bomber could blow up the defense tower, there has always been a way to play the game by going to the bottom lane.

With a hard control support, the bottom lane Ziggs will keep pushing the line, and the support can roam around and do things.

Just let Bomberman play alone.

When fighting in a team, use your ultimate skill and hit two or three enemies, then the battle can be easily won.

But now it is the Censer version, and everyone was surprised that the Ziggs appeared directly in the bottom lane.

The double shooter system is not impossible.

After all, there are a lot of Lucians in the mid lane.

This choice makes everyone feel very strange...

But then again, GT is quite reasonable, as the middle lane has always been the core point for the team.

It is understandable to continue to pass the baton to the middle.

Since it is a mid-jungle system of Tristana and Morgana.

Corresponding changes will definitely be made to the bottom lane.

Sure enough...I directly replaced them with the Ziggs and the Female Tank.

If this is the case, EDG might really have a headache.

The development of the aircraft will be disturbed by the other two people.

My junior brother may not be able to play the airplane as comfortably as he imagined.

"GT didn't try to test the waters just because it was the first game, but used his ultimate move right away!"

"EDG doesn't seem to have many top laners to choose from..."

"Titan? It's not impossible for Titan to take the road."

"Locked, I still chose to take Titan and make up for it in the team fight."

"But Morgana doesn't seem to be afraid of Titans..."

Like this lock, as long as Morgana uses the e skill in advance, she can successfully protect the person being attacked.

However, EDG chose Titan in the top lane, and the tone of the overall lineup was determined.

"Don't be impulsive in this game. The opponent's lineup system seems to be broken at the first touch. Try not to let them roll advantage in the early stage." Nofe quickly shouted out everything he wanted to say in one breath. He was afraid that he would be kicked off the court by the referee lady before he finished speaking.

The official handling of the matter has been relatively serious in recent times, and money will be deducted directly when such a situation occurs.

This is all the hard-earned money I have worked for for so long, and it’s a bit uncomfortable to have it deducted like this.

As for Li Hyung-jun, he had already finished speaking early, so he was now waiting for nofe in the center of the stage.

When he saw nofe coming, he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.

nofe felt very unhappy when looking at Li Jiongjun's expression.

This version is no longer your version. Are you still playing tricks here?

You don't really think that Ziggs going to bottom lane will change anything, do you?

The latest version is the incense burner system.

Giving the support task to the jungler is upside down and is doomed to end in bad consequences.

The two coaches shook hands and the conversation ended.

The heroes of both sides also changed positions and waited for the map to be read.

GT on the blue side: Shen on top, Morgana on jungle, Tristana in mid, and the duo of Ziggs and Leona on bottom lane.

Red side EDG: Titan on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Corki in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo of Kog'Maw and Janna.

"Well... judging from the lineup alone, EDG will drag the game out for a long time. The double carries need time to develop. If Corki and Kog'Maw don't have enough time to develop, the damage will still be lacking even with the Censer. At least two pieces of equipment are needed. If GT can take advantage of this time to snowball, they will be able to win the game relatively easily." Miller analyzed.

In fact, lineups like this that delay development until the late stages often appear in games.

But in most cases it is not stable...

As I said, when the opponent sets the pace, you will eventually lose control and join in the fight.

With this hit, their rhythm is gone, and they will be completely caught up in the opponent's rhythm.

It's like he's lost his mind, fighting in groups with the Rift Herald and the little dragon.

Then the advantage was lost again and again.

Therefore, it is very crucial for EDG to keep its mentality stable in this game.

Before the three commentators on the commentary booth finished their analysis, both sides entered Summoner's Rift.

The audience also cheered.

In any case, GT won the Spring Championship and the Mid-Season Championship, and now has the largest number of fans in the country.

Therefore, the cheering and supporting voices easily suppressed the cheering voices of EDG fans.

Neither side chose to cause trouble at the first level, and they formed a long snake formation, focusing on defense.

EDG originally planned to invade, but the coach told them at the beginning that it was best to develop steadily.

Since GT picked Morgana, they must have done their homework and prepared for being invaded.

If they rushed in and gave up, then let alone the mid to late stages, the first game would be completely hopeless.

As long as we can steadily win the first game, the rest of the games will be easy.

In this way, both sides smoothly transitioned to laning.

At one minute and forty seconds, the soldiers in the middle lane met.

The young player in the EDG player seat first glanced at Tristana, then his eyes stopped on the minions.

Regular season MVP, mid-season most valuable player... dominated the LPL for half a year, but still couldn't escape the fatal blow from the official.

The playoffs are a game that will kill you.

With my Corki, I can develop and last hit from behind, so you won't have any chance.

The junior brother felt very happy.

But when I think about the previous fights, I suffered losses.

He'd better be careful when the opponent takes out the cannon.

The younger brother stood next to the line of soldiers and had no intention of coming up to consume the enemy for the time being.

To be honest, he can just come up and press forward, after all, Corki's Q skill has a skill range of 825 yards.

The range of the first level of the small cannon is only 525 yards, so the plane can pull it around at will.

Looking at the movement of the plane, Li Yi basically understood what this guy was thinking.

You don't even have the will to fight anymore, just want to grow peacefully to level 18, right?

But you are obviously overthinking this.

Li Yi decisively pressed forward, forcing his junior to take action.

The younger brother looked at the Tristana pressing forward and decisively released the Q skill.

But the trajectory of the Q skill was too slow. The cannon controlled by Li Yi took two steps forward, raised his hand and hung up the explosive sparks, followed by a normal attack.

The junior wanted to leave at first, but according to his previous idea, he counterattacked with a normal attack.

Li Yi hit it again and then pulled it backwards.

The junior hurriedly used his second attack, but the cannon had already left the attack range, so he couldn't fire the third thunder.

The explosion sparks from the two normal attacks successfully exploded in the pile of soldiers!

While consuming energy, it can also clear the line of troops.

The first-level plane was actually consumed by the cannon in this way, it was a huge loss.

The younger brother also wanted to slap himself twice.

What were you thinking about just now?

Why don't he just come up and retreat by himself? Don't think about anything else.

The factory manager immediately noticed that the airplane in the middle lane had lost two bars of health.

"Scout, be careful. The troops have only been here for a few seconds? You've already lost more than 200 HP... What if the enemy comes to catch you? Won't you be defeated?"

After hearing this, the younger brother couldn't help but twitch his face several times.

"All I know is that the other side has been playing very aggressively... I'm a little unhappy."

"It's useless. Even if he fights fiercely, it will be useless if he can't gain the advantage," said the sister-con.

"We don't even need to fight in this game. As long as we keep dragging the game forward, we will be able to win the game. It will be like their fist hitting cotton. Their mentality will be affected in the first game, and we will be able to win the subsequent games easily." said the factory manager.

"No problem..." The junior nodded very seriously.

Next time, I will never give the opponent any chance.

……

On the GT side, Wushuang wanted to go to the middle lane and kill by jumping over the tower.

Li Yi looked at Morgana and thought about what happened in the ranking.

With his hook-eight q skill, the unparalleled Morgana in his eyes is just a tool to provide the censer.

"No, you should grow up first. We don't need you to come over now."

Moreover, Li Yi has already figured out how to kill the airplane alone.

"it is good."

Just a brief exchange, the second wave of troops has arrived.

Xiao Pao naturally reached level 2 first.

Due to the low health of the airplane and the advice of his teammates, the younger brother did not dare to make any move.

So it is still level one...

Looking at the cannon standing next to the melee soldier, I thought about consuming him and leveling up at the same time.

He raised his hand and threw out a Q skill.

This seemingly normal action brought him murderous intent!
Tristana's rocket jump is 900 yards! A little farther than Corki's Q skill's 800 yards, not to mention the area damage when landing...

So Li Yi directly used rocket jump to take action!

After catching up with the explosion sparks in the air, he started normal attacks.

Without the q skill, the speed is a bit slower.

But he still landed and got out twice.

Ok?
The junior brother didn’t have time to worry about the subsequent promotion to level two.

He quickly retreated to create some distance, but Caitlyn launched his third normal attack at this time.

The hung explosives began to expand, as if in the final countdown.

Still considering whether to use flash.

But Li Yike, the younger brother, was much more decisive and flashed!

A golden light flashed on the big screen at the scene.

"flash!"

"Show God flashes to close the distance! He plays very aggressively!"

"The fourth normal attack directly detonated the sparks. Isn't this too high of a damage?"

"..."

The health bar had been restored to a lot after some damage, but after this attack, the health bar dropped to the bottom again.

The terrible thing is that the fire was put on at this time.

In the EDG player seat, the younger brother's heart is pounding wildly. The opponent from the West wants to kill him alone!

He was so anxious that he quickly gave up Flash in a panic.

But at this moment, another small cannonball came out of the barrel of the cannon.

The plane's health suddenly dropped to the point of death.

The ignition effect is followed by a burn, just enough to clear the remaining health of the aircraft.

GTsease killed EDGScout!

First blood!

The first drop of blood breaks out!

"Single kill! Oh my god, Xiu Shen's operation at these two levels seems really confident. After sitting down, he actually used flash to catch up!" Wawa shouted below.

The audience at the scene was also very excited.

Everyone held up a photo of support in their hands.

"Show God, Show God, the god of the game, you are so handsome and your skills are perfect! You are invincible, you are shining, we will always support you!"

It instantly attracted the attention of a large number of people.

But the fans didn't care at all and shouted even louder...
