Chapter 192: The second time, I want to take Bard!
With the end of the first game, the atmosphere on the scene was completely ignited.
In the venue's lounge.
The faces of the DRX people were not looking good.
"There was something wrong with our play in this game." DRX's top laner Kingen took the initiative to take the blame, "My skills were not well connected, resulting in the lack of damage."
"I have a problem too." The jungler Pyosik also spoke up, "I didn't have time to pick up my move. I shouldn't have flashed to use W. As a result, I was too far away, resulting in insufficient follow-up damage, which gave Yongen the opportunity to show off his skills."
"Stop trying to take the blame." Mid laner Zeka scratched his hair in annoyance. "We all had problems in this game. We didn't communicate well and our skills didn't connect well, which is why TES found an opportunity."
"Indeed." Deft nodded in the bottom lane, "Our play style is still too aggressive. We didn't take into account TES's ability to counterattack."
"It's useless to say this now." Support BeryL slapped the table, "We need to summarize the problems in this game and adjust our play. We must not make the same mistakes in the next game."
After hearing BeryL's words, everyone in DRX nodded.
Although they lost this game, they also saw the strength of TES.
In the next game, they must adopt a more rigorous style of play to have a chance to defeat TES.
BeryL, the little fat guy, is recognized as the smartest person in the DRX team.
When he looks at a problem, he always sees the point.
At this time, he was the first to come forward and analyze: "I think we can no longer use heroes like Great Inventor. Although it can gain some advantages in the laning phase, its effect in team battles is too small."
Everyone in DRX fell into deep thought.
Indeed, in this game, the Great Inventor played almost no role in the team battle.
Although in the laning phase, DRX's bottom lane gained some advantages thanks to the Great Inventor.
But in team battles, the flaws of the Great Inventor were fully exposed.
The arms and legs are short, and there is no burst damage.
In team battles, he is almost a target.
Moreover, in this game, TES obviously studied them.
Knowing the flaws of the Great Inventor, someone always keeps an eye on him during team battles.
As a result, the Great Inventor has almost no room to play in team battles.
"BeryL is right." Kingen nodded first, "We can't use heroes like Great Inventor anymore. In the next game, we need to come up with a more offensive lineup."
"That's right." Pyosik also nodded in agreement, "We were caught off guard in this round. In the next round, we have to come up with a more confident lineup to have a chance to beat TES."
"So what lineup should we use for the next game?" Zeka looked at BeryL.
He knew that BeryL was the one with the most ideas in the team.
At this time, he also wanted to hear BeryL's opinion.
BeryL touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "I think we can use a lineup that can fight in the early, middle and late stages. In this way, no matter in the early, middle and late stages, we will be able to fight with TES."
Everyone in DRX's eyes lit up.
BeryL's words hit the nail on the head.
The reason they lost this game was because their lineup was too weak in the early and middle stages.
As a result, they were constantly suppressed by TES in the early and mid-game.
Although they relied on their personal strength to find an opportunity in the mid-term and turned the situation around.
But in the later stages, their lineup flaws were fully exposed.
TES found an opportunity and ended the game in one go.
In BeryL's eyes, support is also crucial in the team.
A good support can bring the early stage rhythm to a high level.
If you want to win the next game, then the choice of hero in the support position is very important.
"I think I can handle a hand of Bard."
"Bud?"
When everyone heard this name, they were stunned.
The hero Bard, although online, has good consumption ability.
But in the professional arena, few people win it.
Because the hero Bard is too unstable.
His skills all require prediction.
Once his skills are used up, he will be almost useless in team battles.
Moreover, the hero Bard does not have any hard control.
In a team fight, it is difficult to protect your AD.
Therefore, in professional competitions, few people will choose the hero Bard.
"BeryL, are you sure you want to pick Bard?" Kingen looked at BeryL hesitantly, "This hero is rarely picked in professional competitions."
"Yeah." Pyosik was also a little worried. "Bard is a hero with special skills. It's hard to control him."
"I'm sure." BeryL nodded heavily. "Although Bard is a hero that few people use in professional competitions, I think his potential has not yet been fully developed."
"This……"
Everyone was a little hesitant.
They knew that BeryL was a man with a lot of ideas.
Since he said so, then the hero Bard must have his merits.
However, they were still a little worried.
After all, this game determines whether they can win the championship.
You can't play randomly in every game.
They dare not be careless in the slightest.
"Don't worry." Seeing everyone's hesitant expressions, BeryL said, "This is not the first time I use the hero Bard. If I fail, I will take responsibility!"
After listening to BeryL's confident promise, everyone just sighed in the end.
After all, rank and professional competitions are different.
In rank, you can play as you like.
But in the professional arena, every choice must be made with great caution.
However, everyone still has confidence in BeryL's strength.
When BeryL played for DWG, his support played a huge role for the team.
That’s why DRX spent a huge amount of money to buy BeryL.
At this time, they have already realized that their hard power is not as good as TES.
Maybe the other players on TES are okay, but Tzun is really difficult to deal with.
They also suffered a loss at the hands of Tzun in this round.
So let BeryL try it in the next game.
If a support can also do the work, it is better than having only the top and jungle to restrict TES's top laner.
Moreover, the vanguard is very important in this version, and the support can also roam as early as possible.
Going to the top lane earlier and limiting Tzun's development would increase their chances of winning. Thinking of this, everyone stopped talking and nodded in agreement.
The second game begins.
"Welcome to watch the 2022 League of Legends World Championship, the S12 finals, I am Wawa."
"I'm Miller."
"Today will be the final battle. The two teams representing the strongest forces this year will decide the winner today."
"Yes, after the fierce battle above, our TES team, relying on the superb individual strength and teamwork, has now taken the lead in getting a point."
"The score is now one to zero. DRX is temporarily behind. So the next game that will be going to take place is the second round of the match between the two sides."
"For DRX, this round is still very crucial. If they lose this round again, they will be defeated by TES 2-0 and get the match point. This will have a huge impact on their mentality, and they may even be defeated by TES 3-0."
"For TES, a team full of magic, it's not the first time that they have shut out their opponents. Maybe it's their strength, or maybe it's a curse. Anyway, no opponent has ever been able to win a single round against TES."
"Haha, that's indeed the case, but we can't say that. If DRX can win this round, the score will be even at 1-1, and their morale will be greatly boosted, and they will have more chances in the next games."
"I hope so. Anyway, this game is a life-or-death game for DRX. I wonder if they will make any adjustments in this game."
"There should be some adjustments. They got beaten so badly in the first game. If they don't make any adjustments in the second game, they'll have to go home."
"That's right, especially DRX's top laner kingen. He actually performed very well in the first game. He was not a complete failure in the lane, and he also played a role as a sword demon in team battles. However, he still couldn't turn the tide."
"Yes, overall, every aspect of DRX needs to be handled with caution."
As Wawa and Miller continued to explain at the commentary desk, the players from both teams stood up and began to walk towards the competition seats.
The TES team still looked calm.
Lu Yiming put one hand in his pocket and walked towards the contestant seats with an expressionless face, looking cold and arrogant.
As for DRX, it is a completely different situation.
Top laner kingen clenched his teeth, looking solemn.
The jungler Pyosik frowned even more.
Mid laner Zeka was better, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
As for Deft in the bottom lane, he took a deep breath.
They can’t lose this round again!!
But the fat boy BeryL seemed to have already figured it out.
Soon, players from both sides entered the competition seats.
The coaches of both teams also began to choose the heroes they would use in this game.
This time, TES is still on the blue side.
So TES was the first to ban the hero.
In the first three rounds, TES banned Akali, Galio, and Renata.
These three heroes are what DRX is good at.
Akali is naturally Zeka in the mid-lane position.
Big Head is BeryL’s special skills guy.
As for Renata, she is considered a strong hero in this version and plays a big role in team battles.
After TES finished the ban, DRX also started banning heroes.
Yongen, Lee Sin, and Lux.
Miller couldn't help but laugh when he saw DRX's ban.
"Haha, it seems that DRX is still wary of Tzun's top laner. The first move was to ban his Yongen."
Wawa also smiled and nodded: "Tzun's Yongen in the last game left a huge psychological shadow on DRX. That Yongen really beat them badly. If they don't ban him, maybe TES will use him and they will be in trouble."
"As for Lee Sin, this is also a hero that TES jungler Xiaotian likes very much. His Lee Sin has also played many highlights in the LPL arena. This move can be regarded as the death of Xiaotian's Lee Sin."
"This move of Guanghui can be considered as a preventive measure. Now that it is used on the bottom lane support, it is also of great use."
After banning the heroes, both sides came to the hero selection stage.
On the DRX side, they still grabbed the top lane and got the Sword Demon.
The hero, Aatrox, is considered a core player in the top lane in the S12 game version.
It is powerful in laning phase in the early stage and also plays a big role in team battles in the mid and late stages.
Especially after the equipment is completed, a well-developed Sword Demon can be a nightmare for the enemy's back row in team battles.
Moreover, in the last game, kingen's Sword Demon also played the role he should have.
So in this round, he still snatched the Sword Demon single-handedly.
"As expected, DRX still believes in Kingen's Aatrox. His Aatrox in the last game was the best in the team. In this game, he still got the Aatrox."
"That's right. The role of the hero Aatrox in team battles is indeed huge. As long as he is used, DRX will have many more opportunities."
On the TES side, seeing DRX grab the Aatrox, Lu Yiming narrowed his eyes slightly.
He still knows about the hero, Sword Demon.
It is effective in laning phase and also useful in team fights.
But... Lu Yiming is not at all inferior.
He just couldn't believe that just because his Yongen was banned, he couldn't beat the Sword Demon?
Then, DRX’s second hero was determined.
Jungle position, Centaur!
As a jungler, Centaur's jungle clearing speed in the early stages is at the T1 level, and because of the acceleration of the E skill, he can also provide fast support in the early stages.
In the last game, DRX's jungler pyosik's King of the Ruined King was completely suppressed by Xiaotian in terms of rhythm.
So in this game, he directly got a team that had strong combat effectiveness in the early stage, could clear the jungle quickly, and could also provide support quickly, with the purpose of being able to control the early stage rhythm.
As for the mid-lane position, after a brief hesitation, DRX also got the Tsar.
The hero Tsar plays a very important role after he develops.
After the equipment is completed, it not only has terrifying continuous damage capabilities, but the ultimate move can also change the terrain, which can be used for counterattacks or pursuits, and is extremely useful.
DRX won three games in a row, which surprised TES a little.
Especially the Tsar, in the current game version, he is considered a T0 level mid laner and plays a very important role.
So DRX got Tsar, actually more to prevent TES from getting this hero.
TES is not too worried.
After all, the heroes that their mid laner Knight is good at are not Tsar, but Clockwork, Syndra, and Viktor.
As for the jungle position, Xiaotian is a typical rhythm-type jungler who can play any hero.
Therefore, after a little thought, TES's first two moves were directly determined.
The jungler is the Ruined King, and the mid laner is Viktor.
"Haha, TES has put the focus on the mid and jungle. Xiaotian's Ruined King has shown terrifying suppression in previous games. In this round, it's not bad to pick up Ruined King without Lee Sin."
"As for Viktor, he is one of the heroes that Xiaotian has practiced a lot recently, and the effect is quite good. He has used him in the previous few games and achieved good results."
"Yes, in this version, Viktor is considered a T1 mid laner. After he develops, his damage is terrifying, especially after his equipment is complete. A well-developed Viktor's damage is definitely a nightmare for the enemy."
Indeed, the hero Viktor is considered a core player in the mid-lane position in the current version.
Although he is not too strong in the early laning phase, as long as he can develop smoothly to the later stage, his role will definitely be reflected.
As for the third choice, it is obviously reserved for the top laner... (End of this chapter)
