Chapter 177 The first round of confrontation between GT and SKT!

Chapter 177 The first round of confrontation between GT and SKT!
GT had competitions for two consecutive days and finally had a day of rest on the third day.

Although it was a break, everyone was still nervously conducting tactical analysis in the temporary base, especially for the match between SKT and Longzhu.

These two teams can be said to be the biggest rivals in this year's global finals.

However, Li Yi also specifically pointed out Samsung. Although Samsung was defeated by RNG 11-0 in the first game, this was a restraint of God over the Son of God.

Samsung’s biggest feature can also be discovered from the first game.

vision!

The vision arrangement is very exaggerated. You must pay attention to the vision when you have an advantage, and you must pay even more attention to the vision when you are at a disadvantage, otherwise you will never find a chance to turn the situation around.

And with this attitude, what's the difference between them and EDG? EDG has been defeated for two consecutive days.

After listening to Li Yi's words, others also began to take Samsung seriously. Every team coming to the global finals must be very capable, and if they don't take their opponents seriously, there is a possibility of failure.

RNG was in great form in today's game, easily defeating FB and achieving two consecutive wins.

As a result, the lpl team GT won two, RNG won two, and EDG lost two... EDG's situation is very embarrassing and its promotion is not very optimistic.

If we can't win tomorrow's game, then the only possibility of advancing is theoretical.

What makes everyone excited is that tomorrow is the last game of the first round, and all three LPL teams will participate.

The highlight is undoubtedly GT and SKT, and whether EDG can win the first world championship! At least they have to win one game to keep their hopes of advancing...

The match between GT and SKT was at nine o'clock in the evening and was the highlight match. But to be honest, if the officials didn't use this heavyweight match as the highlight match, there must be something wrong with their thinking.

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, number 8 has arrived!
At half past four, the lpl fans at the scene shouted and cheered excitedly.

Just now, Xiaohu's rat shot down G2 under everyone's protection!

Got the second pentakill in the global finals.

The first pentakill occurred in the qualifying round.

Relying on this pentakill, RNG easily took down the Baron. At this moment, they completely defeated G2, leaving them unable to even breathe.

I was afraid that I would be pushed flat if I wasn't careful.

But even so, it is actually a slow death and will not last long.

At 31 minutes and 47 seconds, Wang Duoduo's mouth was like a machine gun, and he spoke wildly. It was hard to imagine that he could speak at such an exaggerated speed.

However, the visual effect plus the fast speaking speed make the enjoyment maximum.

All five G2 players fell in front of their own front tower.

A P touched his nose in pain... He was a little unwilling to accept his loss in today's game.

But there is no other way.

RNG won the game, and the first round of three consecutive victories came to a successful conclusion.

The advantage of advancing to the second round is huge, and based on the group format, there is a high probability that we will still be first.

If we win the first place in the group, we will definitely be able to avoid the knockout stage.

Hide one round first and then wait and see.

And at this time someone brought up a horrible topic.

EDG is good at playing against LPL teams.

What if... EDG wins and it will be troublesome to keep the hope of advancing.

So now they have changed their minds. Anyway, if the third seed is eliminated in the round of 16, then he is eliminated.

If we are lucky enough to advance, but then defeat GT or RNG, wouldn’t that be really troublesome?
Judging from the momentum of these two teams, this year is definitely the most promising year.

Especially after two years of dark ages.

In the beginning, we could still get the runner-up title to give everyone hope, but later we were in the quarterfinals for the next two sessions.

This is getting further and further away. This year, the global finals will be held in China. If we can't make it to the finals, our spirit will be gone. But this global finals is full of surprises.

GT successfully adapted to the version, and RNG demonstrated unparalleled dominance.

Beat up Group C.

To be honest, Group C does have some value.

Europe’s No. 2 seed G, and LCK’s No. seed Samsung.

Samsung's strength is quite good.

But RNG not only beat Samsung, but also won beautifully.

They shut out Samsung with 3-0 wins. With this level of strength, even the LCK summer season champion this year can’t do it, right?
So this is also the source of everyone’s confidence.

six o'clock.

The match between EDG and TSM officially started.

Now a reversal has occurred. I'm afraid that except for EDG's fans, no other fans in the LPL region still hope that they will win.

There's no way I'm really scared.

EDG finished second in the group and advanced to face GT and RNG. They eliminated these two teams. What should they do if they get a spot in the LCK semi-finals?
But the final result made everyone laugh and cry, it turned out that they were all overthinking.

Because EDG suffered another crushing defeat!
The North American cult TSM successfully won its second victory in the World Championship.

Now Group D is in chaos.

If FW can beat the Bunny, there will be three teams with a score of 2-1.

In this way, EDG's chances of advancing are almost zero.

But didn’t they create this situation themselves?

It turns out that the group EDG drew was really good, and they were actually the worst.

This is really funny.

All of EDG's fans slumped in their seats, staring at the big screen, wondering what they were thinking.

It was torture, pure torture.

too painful!

I can actually be brutally tortured like this!
The first round of the group stage ended with a record of 0-3.

Are they human beings?
He chose the damn Lucian for three consecutive games. Does this guy know how to play the hero Lucian?
You don’t understand how to play, but you keep giving him choices?
EDG’s Weibo was blessed again today.

Messages came one after another.

Even Manager Abu, who is now in charge of the division, received a call from Boss Zhu.

"Yeah! There's something wrong with their thinking now. Yes, I just scolded them."

"There's still a chance next time. Yes, yes, yes... We definitely won't use Lucian in the next game."

I chose Lucian for three games in a row, but didn't win a single game. Even if I am good at playing mid lane, I can't choose him again.

Obviously this hero cannot bring them victory.

After Abu hung up the phone, he also pointed at their noses and cursed.

"You're playing a nightmare, why do you want to capture people before level 6? Why do you want to capture people? How can you capture people before level 6? The opponent is not a fool! Is there something wrong with your thinking again?"

The factory manager leaned against the door and rubbed his nose in dissatisfaction after hearing what Abu said.

Who said you can’t capture people before Nightmare level 6?

Even if he caught someone, so what...

Even if the rhythm breaks down, there is no rule that says you can't catch it before level 6, right?

"The opposing jungler has been in my jungle, and I'm out of jungle monsters. How can I reach level 6? The only reasonable thing to do is to go and gank people." Although the factory manager felt that what Abu said made sense and couldn't find any reason to refute it, he had to say something back when he was in his rebellious period.

Then the scene that EDG least wanted to see happened.

Flash Wolves successfully took down the Bunny in thirty-three minutes.

The record became 2-1.

Group D is a complete mess; this is the real group of death.

Except for EDG, everyone else seems to have a chance to make it out of Group D.

……

Although the subsequent games were delayed for a while, at ten o'clock, players from both SKT and GT teams appeared on the player list.

"It's really the long-awaited game! I believe everyone has been waiting for this game for a long time!" Wang Duoduo is in a happy mood now. Although the many previous games were important, none of them wanted to commentate on this game as strongly as he did.

The audience's response was the same.

At this moment, there has been a burst of enthusiastic cheers, looking forward to this exciting game.

Especially looking forward to the two teams using their big moves.

But this is really overthinking.

After all, it's only the first round, and both teams regard their opponents as potential threats to their championship.

It is still mainly a test, and they have no intention of exposing their hidden lineup system.

Soon both sides finalized the lineup.

SKT on the blue side: Jayce on top, Lee Sin on jungle, Ryze on mid, and the bottom lane duo of Tristana and Alistar.

Red side GT: Shen on top, Gragas on jungle, Taliyah in mid, Xayah and Braum on bottom lane.

It is also very consistent with the current version. If the mid lane does not take a shooter, then it will be more inclined to a supportive mid laner. The previous game was Galio, and in the third game, since Galio could not be used, Taliyah was used.

There weren't any major problems during the initial transition phase.

At level one, both sides just looked at each other, and no skills were used. It was obvious that both sides were trying very carefully.

Especially SKT, they are very cautious.

kkoma was also very satisfied with the rhythm they were playing at. They would feel more comfortable here. GT couldn't handle Jayce's solo lane. Not only that, Ryze could drive over to support them at any time if they wanted to catch Jayce.

But at 5 minutes and 34 seconds into the game, the smile on kkoma's face slowly disappeared, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Faker's reaction was really quick. When Gragas caught him with his E flash, he reacted and used his flash to pull away.

But before he could be happy for long, a stone appeared under Ryze's feet, which made the big devil feel disappointed.

It's no use reacting, there's another person waiting for him!
He lifted Ryze back at the maximum distance.

Coupled with the early release of E, the damage is instantly maximized.

Then Wushuang's Q skill was in place, and the barrel exploded. At this time, Faker knew that he could not escape.

He quickly turned around and used all his skills on the soldiers, trying to kill as many as he could.

This choice is really the right one.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to make the equipment when I return, and that would be really a failure.

In the end, Ryze was taken away by Taliyah's Stone Piercing.

"First blood!"

First blood breaks out.

There was another round of huge cheers in the Wuhan Gymnasium.

Noise-isolating headphones can’t block out any sound. Faker felt really depressed when he heard the screams and cheers coming from the headphones.

After all, they had already given away a blood, and they still had to listen to the screams from the home team.

But there is no way around it. He has already flashed to dodge Gragas's e skill, but the problem is that the opponent's cooperation is too good. They have been prepared and used Rock Sparrow and Rock Rush to lift him up in the backhand. He is now suspecting that the opponent is really forcing him to flash on purpose and wait for another wave later.

In this case, I don't dare to compete with Taliyah. When I reach level 6, it's easy to pull the team rhythm.

It’s better to die without using this flash.

Another chain reaction, and now he has a headache.

Kkoma, who was watching the game backstage, felt an even greater headache.

The barrage in the official LCK live broadcast room was also flooded with comments.

[What is Lee Sang Hyuk doing? Why is he so distracted during the game? ]

【Shit, I feel like this year is really hanging.】

[Ahhhh, so desperate! Why is Sease so strong? It would be great if he was our genius mid laner. He is such a genius in LPL! ]

[Is it possible that GT already has two Korean players, so he can only hide his Korean identity for the time being? ]

[It is true, this is indeed possible. After all, everyone has seen the level of the LPL mid-laners, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be so strong.]

There are also many clubs that are jealous of Li Yi...

Thinking about what the price would be if I signed Li Yi?
Judging from his current performance, he is indeed worthy of it.

Even with such severe restrictions in the middle lane, they were still able to have such an outstanding performance.

It's really exaggerated...

The following judgment is indeed the same as Faker's.

He didn't have flash and didn't dare to compete for the line with Taliyah.

After seizing the lane, Li Yi headed straight towards the bottom lane.

Commentary seat.

Wang Duoduo shouted excitedly.

"GT is going to pack four on two!"

"Taliyah and Gragas have come to the bottom lane."

"It's a pity for Bang. I saw Faker has been sending signals non-stop on the minimap, but his retreat speed is still a little slow."

"But I also realized that... theshy's Xayah was dealing crazy damage, and the SKT bottom lane duo didn't even dare to look at it."

Wolf’s first thought was to run away and then sell himself if he couldn’t run away anymore.

Bang looked at the Minotaur who turned around and knew that his brother could not escape, so he clicked the mouse and ran towards the defense tower.

"Wall vine!"

Li Yi's ultimate move was very tricky. He directly blocked the road and got off the car from the side.

Bang quickly used his W skill and wanted to rocket jump away.

But when Li Yi raised his hand, a rock appeared!
Tristana's W skill can actually offset a lot of control, which can be divided into before jumping and after jumping.

It is a mechanism in the pre-skill swing and skill release. This mechanism is not unique to Tristana, it is a setting of League of Legends.

To put it simply, the W skill cannot be interrupted while it is casting, but it is very weak in the air.

And her displacement does not mean she disappears from the map. As we all know, League of Legends is a pseudo 3D game.

Li Yi simply released his skills in front of the cannon's several routes.

He easily lifted the small cannon in the air back.

"Interrupted! This rock protrusion is placed beautifully! The stone formation keeps up with the damage, nice!" Rita is also very excited now.

"Flash! But Gragas came and hit us directly, interrupting us. SKT is going to be destroyed in this wave."

How could this not excite them?
Especially watching SKT's mid and jungle rushing towards the bottom lane, but looking at their current health, it was obvious that they were too late.

"Double kill!!!"

Cheng Lu's Xia directly harvested two kills and earned 600 yuan. There is no doubt that she has completely taken off at this stage.

At 6 minutes and 57 seconds, the screen of SKT's bottom lane duo went completely black.

Wolf looked at Xiao Pao's body speechlessly.

West Eight.

He sold himself out, what on earth was Bang doing? How could he die with W and flash?
Originally, wolf was the most excited one in the SKT team. He had already thought of some sexy words to say in the interviews after winning the game.

The loss in the mid-season tournament is nothing, the world finals is the time to prove yourself.

As a result, reality seemed to give him a heavy blow.

The middle lane exploded and the bottom lane also exploded. Xia got two kills, so it is conceivable that she would go back and take out the big sword directly.

kkoma's clenched fist loosened again: "Shit, why didn't he use flash first when Taliyah came? Why did he have to use W first?"

Several tactical analysts in the backstage lounge looked at kkoma's expression and knew that he was very angry.

Bang has been obsessed with meditation training recently, which has caused kkoma a lot of headaches. This game is so crucial and his low state makes kkoma want to say hello to Bang after the game.

Faker looked at the situation in the bottom lane and there was nothing he could do.

I can only return to the middle route.

When he was caught and killed, he had already guessed how GT would fight next.

But... I still couldn't avoid it, the opponent's ability to seize opportunities was too strong.

GT will naturally not let go of the advantage gained in the bottom lane.

Because the most important thing is... their bottom lane duo can reach level 6 earlier.

As the bottom lane duo reached level 6, GT's subsequent rhythm came immediately.

Still four for two!
The difference is not Taliyah, but Gragas and Shen.

Shen gave up the two waves of soldiers that were about to come in, and used his ultimate skill in conjunction with Gragas to directly kill the enemy by jumping over the tower.

There are Braum and Xayah’s ultimates.

There is no pressure at all in this tower dive.

Even though Jayce delivered the teleport in the first moment, he only killed himself and got the support's kill.

One for three!

GT completely opened up the pace in the bottom lane.

Xia now held two human heads in her hands.

Bang's Tristana is now completely useless, even though it was Jayce who got the kill. GT's front-line lineup is strong enough, just like a city wall. Without an absolute economic lead, Jayce's cannon hitting the city wall is just like tickling.

Obviously what SKT needs now is thunder!
These three walls cannot be broken through without thunder from heaven.

At 12 minutes, SKT's bottom lane tower was pushed down, and then the little dragon was taken.

SKT wants to take this opportunity to exchange some resources.

But Li Yi's ultimate came to support very quickly, and the little dragon was killed by the duo in the bottom lane.

The barrel just opened for a moment and then came closer.

In this wave, the three-on-three Jayce and Lee Sin were all controlled to death.

After Shen's e skill taunted them, Rock Spike brought back two people, and then used Gragas' ultimate to follow up with the barrel.

SKT's top and jungle brothers died instantly.

Still thinking about getting resources even when at a disadvantage.

This is undoubtedly a dream!
GT counterattacked and took the Rift Herald again, gathering five people to push the middle lane tower.

Faker could only retreat when looking at the five aggressive people.

As soon as the middle lane tower fell, GT's rhythm took off completely.

Gragas took the Knight's Oath, and Braum pulled out Zeke's Herald.

All of them were added to Xia, not to mention that Cheng Lu's development was outrageous. With four heads on her body, the damage was explosive!
The SKT bottom lane duo obviously had some mental problems.

Wolf had mad cow disease and started several irrational team fights. He could have been able to hold on a little longer, but now he was completely defeated at eighteen minutes.

With an economy lagging behind by 8,000, there is absolutely no hope of a comeback.

That's not right. EDG was leading by 10,000 in economy but they turned the game around, and the commentator didn't sentence SKT to death.

Twenty minutes later, the Baron refreshed and GT took it down directly.

SKT's lineup system is completely useless when they are behind.

The main reason is still Jayce in the top lane.

Jace can't carry anything on his shoulders or with his hands, so purity is just a side effect at this time.

The cannon fire didn't hurt Shen at all.

GimGoon yelled: "Huni's cannon is too lame, it doesn't do any damage at all."

Relying on the strength of this lineup, we can force our way in and push the tower.

In just three minutes, SKT's three highland towers were all destroyed.

Lee Sin was wandering back and forth in front of the front tower.

As a result, he was brought back by Li Yi's W, and the stone formation combined with the damage of stone penetration directly hit Xiaohuasheng so hard that he was chilled to death instantly!

And Xia’s equipment is also extremely good.

Infinity, blue-absorbing knife, cannon, and attack speed shoes.

These three pieces of equipment have completely maxed out Xia's damage.

Not to mention the emperor-level treatment, both the jungler and the support gave him equipment with damage bonuses.

He was even more furious with the ultimate move in his hand.

Cheng Lu has one advantage, which is that she dares to speak out.

Seeing Li Yi kill Lee Sin instantly, he rushed forward and used his skills crazily.

There was no one in SKT who could take the damage, and no one cared about Lao Niu.

As the two carries fell in front of the highland tower one after another, SKT completely announced that the game was over.

Ten seconds later, the SKT base exploded!

GT won the game easily and achieved a perfect record in the first round.

The audience in the venue screamed excitedly.

The first and second seeds performed very well, both won all the games after the first round, and are now far ahead.

However, LCK does have a proud dragon ball, which also has three wins, and is worthy of being the number one seed in the first division.

As for EDG?

With a record of 0-3, to put it bluntly, this is clearly a roadblock.

No one thought they had a chance of advancing.

A team that performed so badly should not have entered the qualifying round in the first place, and now someone has said something that everyone agrees with.

Neither WE nor iG would have performed 0-3 in the global finals!
