Chapter 175: A legendary battle is destined to be born! [Seeking monthly tickets]
Chapter 175: A legendary battle is destined to be born! [Seeking monthly tickets]
The last wave was fleeting, and a sudden and shocking change occurred. It seemed that no one on the scene had reacted to the several reversals that occurred within half a minute!
The moment when the hub crystal exploded and time in the canyon stood still.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a boiling point, with waves of sound gathering from all directions, as if an indescribable feeling of heat was spreading wildly throughout the venue!
"Two to zero!!!" Wawa didn't care about the distortion of her voice at all: "Three championship points, on the stage of the finals! They have already stood at an unimaginable historical node!"
Wang Duoduo was obviously still amazed by the last wave: "The Sword Demon failed to save the team! He failed to stand to the end in this peak duel, and failed to reproduce the miracle of defending the home in the last wave of the semi-finals!"
"This time, it was Silas who stood until the end! And it was because he stood until the end that he killed the game in one fell swoop!"
"This battle in "The Forbidden City" will definitely become a famous scene in history!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke: "No one could have imagined the result, and no one could have predicted that it would end like this."
Miller also took over the conversation and analyzed: "In the last teamfight, EDG was outnumbered, and even when their own Sejuani and support were killed first, they still won this miraculous teamfight!"
"I dare say that if it were 99% of the teams, they wouldn't dare to go in that way in the last wave. Even if they knew the effect of Varus's ultimate skill!"
Wang Duoduo nodded vigorously: "Yes! But this is why EDG can get to this point!"
"Faced with any fleeting opportunity, they not only seized it, but also showed true decisiveness and were as disciplined as an army!"
"This is a victory for the team, and also a victory for EDG's command and decision-making!"
When the OB perspective saw DRX decisively abandoning the tower and TPing, wanting to take advantage of the difference in numbers and directly attack with Cat and Pig Girl.
All the domestic audiences felt a loud bang in their hearts.
According to the expected development of that wave, Pig Girl and Cat were killed, and there were 2 vs. 5 left in the head-on and they definitely couldn't fight anymore.
Shen was going to break through the high ground at best, but DRX won the team fight at a disadvantage, and then took down the Baron and then the Small Dragon, which undoubtedly turned the situation around in an instant!
But who knew that suddenly there would be variables that no one could have imagined!
The first thing is that there can be no hesitation in the timing of attacking - Silas has to wait until his teammates have not fallen to the ground to help attract firepower, so that the number of layers of Withered Chain takes effect!
Of course, the truly fatal result was the final 1V1 in the river. If the final winner was the Aatrox, it would actually be completely acceptable to DRX.
Don’t think that it was just a 4-for-4 exchange, but they also gave away their own bottom lane high ground.
But in return, DRX will be qualified to face off against the team next time!
From the performance of Aatrox in the final team battle, it can be seen that DRX’s fattest Aatrox is actually not that easy to kill. Kingen’s subsequent operations fully brought out the terrifying upper limit of this hero!
Once the Sword Demon gets a quad kill and returns to the city to replenish his Great Drinker, Sylas will have no way to do anything to him.
Now will be the time for DRX to truly counterattack!
But, it is just the last thin line of difference.
Ye Bo played with even greater courage, standing to the end, seizing the opportunity while Shen was squeezing TP's solo lane, and ending the game in one wave.
It completely cut off the ray of light that DRX had finally managed to find in the desperate darkness!
The dense barrage of comments in the LPL event live broadcast room has somewhat occupied the screen content.
[EDG! My Superman! Master Ye! My God! ]
[I said this year's finals should be the least suspenseful one, DRX is clearly the weakest finals team in history! ]
[If you can still say this after watching the game, I can only say that Yun is finished. It is obvious that this game was the most difficult one for EDG. If it weren't for Master Ye's tightrope walking, maybe it would have been ruined! ]
[Anyway, the game started with 2-0, I don’t know how I lost! ]
[It is not advisable to open champagne at halftime. DRX has been 1- down and - down every day this year. They just came back from - down in the quarterfinals. JD.com forgot? They also came back from - down against T. This team is professional at playing against the odds.]
[If EDG can win another championship, I swear I will never criticize it again! They can do whatever they want when they return to LPL! They can even just give up next year! ]
"Shh! That's awesome!!"
Ye Ying excitedly raised the small fist stone with both hands, and there was an inexplicable silver light in the corners of his eyes.
Being too excited will make you want to cry, especially when you are truly happy for the other person.
Ye Xiong was still confused - although he had been using his spare time after work to study the game, he was still unable to escape the suppression of the {normal difficulty} human-computer game due to his age and lack of knowledge of electronics.
He didn't understand why, but the person next to him was still wailing that something terrible was going to happen.
The next second it suddenly turned into an excited cheer from the crowd!
"What happened? How did we win suddenly?" He could only ask his excited wife beside him in confusion.
"Oh, I told you to watch more of their game videos! Where did all that hard work you put into studying go? I wonder how you got into our university!"
Ye Ying glanced at him unhappily, but still explained briefly: "Their opponents were really strong. In the end, they spent a lot of effort to dig a trap and almost got overturned! They even succeeded, but our son took their achievements and suddenly turned them into a weapon to defeat them!"
Seeing that the other party was still confused and didn't understand.
Ye Ying could only use a vivid metaphor again.
"It's like when you go fishing, and you catch the most fish in front of you, but then the guy next to you takes great pains to catch a king fish, and you're about to be overtaken and lose, but you kick his basket full of fish into the river!"
Ye Xiong's sense of immersion came instantly, and his eyes brightened noticeably.
“Is it that cool?”
"It's even better than this! Our son is better than you. He kicked the guy directly into the river!"
When Ye Xiong heard this, he suddenly turned around and shouted towards the stage.
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, but immediately shouted: "Come on, smash them! Beat them up!"
Of course, these shouts could not be heard on stage.
But what’s interesting is that this conversation was recorded with a “teasing” mentality by several young Chinese people who were recording and taking photos nearby.
The main reason these young people noticed this was that Ye Ying shouted too loudly.
The audience of e-sports competitions is mostly young people, and sometimes when the emotions get heated, it is normal to use various "direct relative titles" to show the highest respect.
However, this is the first time for them to see real "mom fans" in real life.
A post titled: [Wow, there really are mom fans. I thought all the mom fans on Weibo were fake] was soon circulated on Tieba.
The EDG player on the big screen stood up.
Everyone hugged Ye Bo one after another, and Ye Bo responded enthusiastically to everyone's hugs. Everyone's face was filled with excitement.
When Ye Bo heard the cheers from the audience, he felt his heart boiling.
"Luckily you're here," Jiejie said with a frightened expression, "Master Ye, you were amazing today!"
"It's just normal performance!" Saint Spear smiled unabashedly: "What's Master Ye's level? Long Cha's head and hands are suppressed by him!"
Ye Bo grinned and responded sincerely: "But the last wave was really dangerous. Longcha's tactics changed so quickly that I didn't expect it. Fortunately, Brother Viper helped me kill all the people behind me!"
Viper shook his head vigorously: "In fact, I only killed one, you are still the best."
"They're all great, all great!" Meiko was obviously relieved.
As everyone walked off the stage, they looked towards the contestant passage on the other side.
Just then he met the eyes of DRX who were also looking at him.
Kingen stared straight at Ye Bo, his eyes were so fierce as if he was possessed by the unwilling Sword Demon, and he was obviously still worried about not being able to save everything in the last wave.
Zeka and Pyosik didn't look up, and seemed quite depressed.
Deft forced a smile at everyone, nodded at them, and then leaned over behind Nakano and Ye and patted their shoulders.
Beryl, on the other hand, looked heartless, shaking her arms as she walked off the stage with a reckless gait.
The LCK live broadcast room was filled with cries of grief.
[Double Eight! Our LCK region has never been defeated 3-0 in the finals! If you dare to be defeated 3-0 and return to Korea, you will be in trouble! Damn DRX! ]
[The fourth seed is the fourth seed! To be honest, it’s better to let T1 enter the finals. If T1 enters the finals, they will definitely win the championship! ]
[Oh, then why didn't T1 enter? Don't you want to enter? ]
[Mr. Dai is really miserable. The closest he came to the championship nine years ago was when he was defeated by the mid-lane emperor. Nine years later, the 1:1 situation reappeared. Let’s do it again!]
[Why does Beryl look like he doesn't care about winning or losing? No wonder he can't win! There's a reason why he was kicked out by DK! ]
[Don't be so mean, Beryl is wondering if the resin has refreshed. If the score is 3-0, he should be able to catch up.]
The Roaring Emperor adjusted his mood: "Our opponents are very strong, but I hope our audience friends will also applaud DRX. They did a really good job in this game."
"From the early game, the vision trap, the three-pack and one-catch, the continuous successful attack on the top lane, the resource allocation to take the canyon, and even the final counterattack that hung on a thread."
CT also expressed his agreement at this time: "With this performance, we should trust DRX even more! They have created countless miracles in this World Championship, and they are also the only team in this World Championship to have completed a comeback from 2-0 down to 3-0!"
"Of course they can!"
That's what it says.
But it was obvious that neither of them had any confidence when they said this.
Backstage.
Mingkai and Maokai were waiting for everyone at the backstage door and gave everyone warm hugs one by one.
"You're awesome, brothers! I never thought we could win 2-0, you're so strong!" Mingkai hugged Jiejie excitedly and made a joke.
"Even Zhao Lijie, you pig can't do that~"
"Hey, Director, that's wrong. This pig is crucial!" Jie Jie said seriously, "Without this pig adding a buff, Master Ye might have died in the last wave!"
"I noticed that you have been feeling itchy lately since Master Ye came here."
Ye Bo looked at the factory director who was exerting his arm strength, blinked curiously and asked: "What does this mean?"
Saint Spear hugged him and smiled evilly: "Xiao Yebo, it seems that you are not familiar enough with EDG's history. Our EDG will never be wiped out only by this pig."
Everyone burst into laughter.
It was Ye Bo who clapped his hands first and quickly drew everyone's attention back.
"Okay, everyone. We can't let our guard down yet. This battle is actually very dangerous. We can't underestimate the opponent."
"I think we may need to change our thinking in this last game."
The several key turning points in the second game were actually just flashes of inspiration from both sides in actual combat, and there is not much point in reviewing them.
However, for EDG, this game brought them many key points.
First of all, at the end of this game, Yongen played poorly, especially Zeka's understanding and control were obviously stretched when facing Ye Bo.
It is unlikely that DRX will continue with this approach.
And Yongen, Sword Demon, Cat, and Sylas.
For both sides, there will be many variables in this BP.
Should I stick to my own opinion and look for flaws, or should I make a bold change and fight hard?
The key to the match point, perhaps some "unique moves" may also be called other variables.
the other side.
Surprisingly, the backstage atmosphere of DRX was completely different from the suffocating and depressing atmosphere of GEN's third game.
Deft was smiling, as if the game hadn't even started yet, and he was telling a story to his teammates.
"That was my mentality at the time, so I hope you can think the same way."
He was talking about the S4 finals, the Samsung blue and white civil war between SSW and SSB.
Although that game was not the final, in the minds of most viewers, the championship that year was most likely between the blue and white teams, and it was also considered the one with the most obvious gap in strength between the two teams.
More importantly, SSB beat SSW for a whole year! It can be said that SSB is the real focus of everyone's attention!
Unexpectedly, in the final S game, Dade and Acorn lost three games in a row, and had an exaggerated 0-7 record.
"At that time, I was thinking, if it doesn't work this year, then I'll do it next year. I can just fight back next year," Deft said with more emotion, and the smile on his face became more natural.
“At that time, I was sure that I would come back here and reach the final in the future.”
"Look, it's been a while, but I'm back."
"The oldest among you is Qianxi, who has only played for four years. He still has a long way to go in the future," Deft said, patting his teammates on the shoulders one by one. "Compared to the past, no one was optimistic about us this time, but we still made it here."
"So everyone, it doesn't matter if we lose, just play well next season, even if we won't be together again." Deft tried his best to make his tone cheerful.
But Pyosik, who has a low EQ, interrupted and asked, "Brother, do you still have next season?"
This question.
The atmosphere, which had been relaxed, suddenly became uncomfortable and depressing again.
Kingen felt a little speechless, but still pretended to joke and interjected: "Only if He Kui loses can there be next season, so we have to cheer for him and let He Kui retire well!"
Deft shrugged and said, "Yeah, if I lose, maybe I'll have a next season. If I think positively, maybe losing will allow me to play for another year."
"Anyway, as long as each of us has done our best, no matter what the result is, it will be the best result."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Beryl. "Just like the miraculous moves made by the opposing mid laner, they were not made by luck. I heard from Tian Ye that he studies and develops those moves every day, just like Qian Xi."
Beryl, who has always been heartless, suddenly felt a little sad when being mentioned.
He suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't he practice more in ranking matches and play less 2D mobile games? Maybe he could have done better in the match just now - even though he actually practiced a lot.
Deft knows this partner best.
He knew that although the other party did not conduct Rank training, he spent as much time on training as they did, but he used his own method.
Those crucial overall adjustments, exquisite on-the-spot designs, and key decisions made on the spur of the moment require watching countless video clips and developing an "instinctive reaction" to be able to think of and master them in actual combat.
Deft has heard Meiko lament about Ye Bo's daily life.
In his opinion, those seemingly "high-risk" operations performed by the other party are actually instinctive operations that have been honed by others.
It’s not that they are “unlucky” and that the situation is reversed by the opponent’s high-risk operations one after another - it’s that when the opponent reaches that situation, they will definitely be able to fight back.
Because this scene may have already appeared in their previous training or experience.
"Okay, let's talk about the game," Deft greeted everyone by clapping gently.
"We'll talk about next year next year. I only get to play in a final once every nine years. I don't want to leave so easily~"
Beryl nodded: "When I stepped down just now, I was actually thinking, I don't know if they will make any changes in this game, but we have to make some sacrifices in BP."
The short halftime passed quickly.
Looking down at the world from across the space, the two backstages seem to be in parallel.
Ten pairs of palms were put together in the air at the same time, and then pressed down heavily.
Really speaking.
Everyone has their own reasons for not losing.
For themselves, for their dreams, for perseverance, for their fans and supporters, and even for not disappointing those who love them.
No one is nobler than anyone else, and everyone has a great reason.
In the end, there can only be one winner; this is the charm and significance of competition.
Both sides came to the player channel.
Step by step, I climbed the stairs under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The lights in the Chase Center became scorching hot again, and the noisy waves from all directions surrounded them.
The local English streaming commentator was shouting in an impassioned tone.
"Meiko and Deft meet again on the field after 7 years! Beryl stands against EDG, who once failed, for the second consecutive year! EDG's all-member team fights to defend the title in the region's historic level! YE's legendary career is about to begin! Zeka and Kingen, two frustrated players who have returned from a long journey, prove it."
"Will EDG become the LPL's first two consecutive championship teams, or will DRX achieve the same unprecedented legendary miracle of becoming the fourth seed champion?"
"This will be a battle that is destined to give birth to legends!"
"let us wait and see!"
The clanging sound resounded.
Pull up the BP panel!
"Here we go! Please cheer for EDG! I hope we can witness this historic moment together today!"
After Wawa finished shouting excitedly, he focused on the BP panel.
"DRX banned Sylas right at the start! This is the ability of YE. As long as you don't believe in evil and let him go, he can use his strength to make you ban him back in the next game!"
"As for EDG's ban position, there doesn't seem to be much change."
Backstage, both sides thought carefully about the upcoming game.
For both teams, the last game was actually acceptable!
For DRX, their biggest problem is that the mid lane has once again become a flaw - but this is also the reason why they were able to get the Aatrox in the last game and achieve such an effect.
The same goes for EDG: you can't have your cake and eat it too.
At least on the red side in this version, they don't have enough bans targeting both the top and bottom lanes at the same time. In comparison, they are already familiar with Kingen's Aatrox, so there is no need to take the risk to try the more "unknown" bottom lane.
Both sides are banned in the first round————
DRX: Liberator, Pig Girl, Yongen
EDG: Policewoman, Big Head, Ice
"DRX made up for the BP trap in the last game, because they didn't expect the opponent would not ban Cat and Aatrox, so they deliberately did not ban strong heroes and wanted to pick them later, which gave the red team so many opportunities to grab them later!" Miller said.
"However, since Zeka's Yongen is clearly not able to withstand Master Ye's firepower, we can only use the ban position to deal with it!"
"Here it comes! Zeka picked Akali! DRX still believes in Akali, who has shown many wonderful performances along the way, and believes in their teammates!"
The commentary is biased towards the scene.
In fact, anyone who understands can see that Zeka must have some issues with his mentality.
In other words, no matter who comes to this stage, and is so confident and highly anticipated before the game, the result is that they are killed four times in two games!
This is also why DRX chose to handle this ban in this way——because they must get Sylas and Akali for Zeka, first of all.
Only by getting these two unique heroes and not giving the opponent's mid laner a chance to pick a counterattack.
Only with such a mentality can Zeka perform steadily.
"EDG doesn't have many strong heroes to grab, it depends on whether Cat wants them or not. Take them!"
"EDG still locked down Cat! The successful system from the last game is still being implemented, no problem!"
"But their choice in this game is... skateboard shoes!?"
Ye Bo made some changes to this game.
The main problem in the last game was the cat's roaming defect, but this was a problem that the hero could not solve.
Well, in this case——select Skateboard Shoes, a “single-player hero” who is strong in laning phase, to force the laning situation in the bottom lane!
If DRX chooses Varus + a soft support in the laning phase, it is easy to find an advantage in the bottom lane - but considering the opponent's roaming threat and Cat's mid-term ability, it is definitely worth it!
"DRX made a quick choice, bringing out Aatrox and the Ruined King at the same time! The Ruined King can restrict the opponent's top and jungle, so they didn't choose Varus!"
"Wait? Did EDG choose Scarecrow on the third floor?!"
"The mid laner Scarecrow is fighting Akali? Is this YE's secret weapon?"
"As the player who knows Akali best in this World Championship, we can reasonably suspect that this is the secret weapon he specially prepared!"
Both commentary desks simultaneously shouted in surprise, frantically discussing the significance of this choice.
Zeka's expression froze at first, then his eyes suddenly opened slightly.
Second round of ban————
DRX: Sword Princess, Big Tree
EDG: Annie, Varus
"EDG picked Ornn on the fourth floor. There was no other way. There was nothing else to use. Saint Spear was obviously sacrificed in BP."
EDG could actually have put out Fiora first on the third floor and then put out Scarecrow to trick the opponent into a ban position, but they didn't do that.
This was also the decision Saint Spear made when faced with Ye Bo’s questioning.
Fiora vs. Aatrox, in the S game alone, has demonstrated the reverse counter many times - unlike Yongen, this is not a 64% stable matchup, it can only be said to be a -to- chance.
And the most important thing is, choosing Fiora will affect team battles.
It can even be said to be a complete destruction of the lineup!
In comparison, although Ornn had a very difficult time fighting against Aatrox - but compared to the previous game's Shen, he was able to withstand it even if he was "targeted" so much!
Again.
Someone has to sacrifice.
In the BP game between these two teams, both sides will face a situation where they cannot have both the upper and lower lanes.
"With this lineup, Qianxi, do you want to try Bard?" Deft suddenly took the initiative to suggest.
"All four of them have no displacement, and they can still deal with Scarecrow."
"Bud. Yeah."
Beryl thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"It's really possible, but it will be very uncomfortable for you. Because their skateboard shoes are just to help the cat to fill the line, and it will be threatening to cross the tower."
Deft nodded firmly: "There aren't many ADs left. We are very comfortable with the top, mid and jungle lineup. We can't take care of the bottom half at the same time."
"For teamfights."
DRX did not play Varus in the first few moves of this game, which actually showed that they were not prepared to fight in the lane.
Beryl's idea was simple—he just wanted to release the cat and continue the roaming from the previous game.
Even roaming is taken to the extreme and laning is given up!
It’s just that his original idea was even more extreme. He wanted to produce a robot directly!
Therefore, they were originally planning to give AD like Varus, who has no displacement and is a bit uncomfortable to play alone, to the opponent.
Anyway, Cat and Varus don’t have much ability to cross the tower.
But Beryl didn't expect that the opponent's thinking evolved just as quickly. He thought of using the laning suppression power of Skateboard Shoes to maximize the cat's ability to kill by crossing the tower.
"Bud!?"
"Beryl picked Bard, who no one else picked in this World Championship! It seems like both teams have a secret weapon in this game!"
"Bard and Ezreal, apart from anything else, DRX's bottom lane has great survivability."
EDG on the other side was obviously also very surprised.
Ye Bo was very sure that Beryl had not selected a single Bud in the entire season.
"Master Ye, if it's Bard, can our lineup still be nightmare?" Jiejie asked the person who created this lineup.
"Well, it even feels like it's getting better."
Without saying anything more, EDG's fifth floor locked onto the target.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
《Blue side: DRX丨丨Red side: EDG》
[Top: Darkborn Blade vs. Hidden Flame of the Mountain]
[Jungle: Ruined King vs. Eternal Nightmare]
