Dean, stop being C, your teammates are not worthy!

Chapter 277 - God-level bypassing, a great start!

October 7th.

It has been three days since IG played its last game.

At the same time, the first match day of the second round of the 2016 Global Finals Group Stage starts today!

Early in the morning, everyone at IG got up early to wash up, and then took the bus to the Bill Graham Auditorium.

This time we are not accompanied by EDG and RNG, because today is a group A exclusive show, and it is also a personal show unique to IG.

As the most watched team in the world, it would be a lie for everyone at IG to say they are not nervous.

Moreover, their schedule is very tight today, playing three games in a row, and they also have to determine the qualifying and elimination places today.

It can be said to be intense and exciting, with no intention of relaxing at all.

In this quiet environment, you can observe scenes that you couldn't see before.

For example, walking all the way to the competition venue at this moment, seeing the enthusiastic fans holding IG support items, undoubtedly gave all IG members more confidence and belief in winning the game.

As we approached the venue, the atmosphere in the car gradually recovered, and everyone was making pre-war adjustments.

"Striving to qualify first in the group, there is no pressure, just relax."

"There are so many people watching today. Let's set an example for EDG and RNG. Just rush and that's it!"

"Last year, KT was beaten to the top 16. I wonder if Samsung can be beaten to the top 16 today."

After Jack finished speaking, everyone else cheered up.

"It would be great if we could break their mentality, but Samsung's state has adjusted quickly, and their coaching staff has something good."

Yuan Shen touched his chin and thought deeply.

It is still difficult for Samsung to stop in the top 16, but it is not impossible.

Last year's history had KT not meeting KOO, and the top four would have been basically stable.

Just counting on ANX or H2K to win SSG is still difficult.

After the first round of the group stage, ANX's stuff was basically beaten.

At eleven o'clock, when we arrived at the venue, all IG members did not eat as usual.

Start studying the tactical arrangements and today's three opponents in the backstage lounge.

Time passed, and midway through, Doll Miller and other LPL front and backstage staff came over to see IG to cheer up.

The venue opened at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the huge Bill Graham Auditorium was instantly filled with people.

The large square outside the venue was also crowded with people.

Major live broadcast rooms around the world are connected live, showing highlights of the major teams in the past two weeks, personal interviews with players, support from fans, etc.

At the same time, the number of spectators also increased at a terrifying speed. By 2:30, it had broken the group stage record and reached a new peak.

Everyone in IG could hear the noise and cheers in the venue backstage.

The director announced that everyone went backstage to prepare for the opening match.

Today's first game is the battle between IG and SSG.

As long as IG can win against SSG, then the first place in the group will basically be guaranteed.

Even if they lose to ANX, it will be difficult for ANX to win three consecutive games.

What's more, losing to ANX...

The odds are really too low.

Almost negligible.

"IG!! IG!!"

When everyone from IG appeared on the stage, the audience cheered.

"We can see that everyone is very relaxed. It seems that we are sure to win today's game."

"Yes, IG's mentality should be adjusted very well. At this time, mentality is also an important part of the performance."

"In this game, IG is on the blue side and Samsung is on the red side. It is also a test for us."

"Yes, but IG is not at a disadvantage. The opponents have too many points to target them, such as rock climbing combination, speed push system, Lucian, and EZ."

As soon as Wawa finished speaking, the director immediately switched to the BP interface.

As soon as they came up, IG banned the policewoman, Verus and the blind monk of Leader An.

SSG, on the other hand, has banned EZ, Rock Bird and Male Gun.

The bans of both sides are very targeted, but the LPL commentators were a little surprised when they saw IG's bans.

"The wine barrel has been released! This hero, Leader An, used it twice in the first round of the group stage. Although the record was one win and one loss, the early rhythm was almost perfect, which is one of his signatures."

"Yes, it seems that IG has a way to deal with it. Lucian can also use it this time, but I don't know whether it will be the top laner or the mid laner."

After Wawa and Miller talked, IG gave them a big surprise first hand.

"Wine barrel?? No...when there are Kindred and Spider, should we choose wine barrel??"

Immediately afterwards, the scene seemed to explode, and crazy screams occurred one after another.

"Happy hour is about to begin!"

Barrel - Gragas!

"Yuan Shen seems to rarely play with wine barrels. There are more excavators than wine barrels."

"this……"

"Teaching you how to play with barrels?? Teaching Bureau?"

The wine barrel can be called a trump card in the hands of Master An, and he is also his most confident hero.

In the three games of the group stage, Manager An used one prince and two wine barrels.

And Yuan Shen uses more heroes.

Prince, EZ, Jace...

Yuan Shen didn't play much of the hero Wine Barrel, whether in this World Championship or in the LPL.

"You really chose it! You must have practiced it, otherwise you wouldn't have taken it out at such a critical time."

"IG chose Wine Barrel. As for Samsung here... Rat Gatam?? With EZ, Policewoman and Verus banned, there don't seem to be many heroes that Ruler can play."

"Mouse Gatam, this is too stable. It doesn't feel as reliable as Big Mouth plus Lulu."

"It is destined to be in the later stage. The formation of mice is a bit too slow in this version."

Compared to SSG's grinding, IG is much more relaxed.

The second and third-hand heroes directly locked the combination of Ice and Gabulon.

Freljordian polar combination!

And Samsung also got its own third-hand hero.

Prince.

Very solid choice.

As a version hero, the prince's appearance rate in the S6 World Championship is not as good as that of the blind monk, leopard and spider, but it is similar to that of the male spear.

It's just that when you choose a hero like Prince, your playing style will be slightly different.

This hero can output a lot of damage in the early and mid-term. For Leader An, the prince is a heavy tank and a ruthless team-starting machine.

In the fourth move, SSG hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to leave a counter position in the middle, and first chose Dashu, a versatile hero, for the top laner.

IG chose Gnar.

The last move is to show the sword directly!

The Fairy Trickster——LeBlanc!

"Chosen! Rookie's signature LeBlanc!! The man with the skin of the Enchantress champion!"

"Yes, Rookie has played too many heroes like Crocodile Pantheon and Lucian Kled before, which makes people ignore his natural hero. Rookie's most famous ones are traditional mages and assassins!!"

SSG hesitated for a long time, and chose Malzahar between Victor and Malzahar.

Although Victor is Crown's signature player, playing Rookie is too stressful.

A hero like Malzahar can still resist pressure.

The lineups of both sides were selected, and when the positions were finally exchanged, the lineups of both sides were also revealed to the audience.

"IG Blue Party:

Top laner TheShy: Lost Fang-Gnar

Jungle Yuanshen: Wine Barrel-Gragas

Mid laner Rookie: Trickster-LeBlanc

Bottom lane JackeyLove: Ice shooter-Ashe

Auxiliary Name: Heart of Freljord-Bron

SSG red side:

Top laner CuVee: Twisted Dryad-Maokai

Jungler Ambition: Prince Jarvan IV of Demacia

Mid laner Crown: Prophet of the Void-Malzahar

Bottom Ruler: Source of Plague-Twitch

Auxiliary CoreJJ: Lord of the River-Tahm. "

"The lineups of both sides are very clear. IG has changed its thinking. Although the online battles are strong, the team battles are not weak either."

"That's right, the top and jungle heroes are all heroes who can force the attack. It is clear that we need to put enough pressure on SSG in the early stage. Coupled with the bottom lane combination, level six is ​​the starting point of IG's lineup."

Wawa and Miller explained that compared to the IG lineup, Samsung is much more stable.

They came up with a combination of Big Tree plus Mal Zahaha plus Tammu the Rat. There wasn't much they could do in the early and mid-term, but they were very powerful in protection and defensive counterattack.

"Samsung is going to delay the game later. Once this lineup is delayed to thirty-five minutes, it will enter Samsung's strong period."

"There are almost no teams that play like this now..."

Miller was speechless.

Samsung's style of painting is completely different from other teams.

In other words, the S6 version is not suitable for Samsung.

If Samsung hadn't encountered a novice team along the way, it's hard to say whether they would have made it to the finals.

As for the 3-2 draw with SKT...

Maybe it's the power of blood at work.

The game screen was loaded, and IG’s cheers could already be heard at the scene.

The sound lingered for a long time, but became louder and louder.

Several commentators stood on the commentary stage, feeling a little emotional at this time.

"This is still in North America. If the World Championship is held in China, then IG's popularity will reach a higher level!"

This is what everyone is thinking.

At the same time, the big words "Go IG" were written all over the barrage in major live broadcast rooms, blocking the screen instantly and making it almost impossible to see clearly.

"Go, go, go!"

The lineup of IG's first-level team is very good, with Han Bing and Enchantress, and Bronn, who is known as the king of the first-level team. Together with Gnar and Wine Barrel, the first-level combat effectiveness is very strong.

Following Bronn, the IG crowd gathered and rushed directly into the lower half of the An area, hoping to invade the counter-field.

But Samsung seems to have been prepared for IG's attack.

The most terrifying thing about this team is not the operation, but the consciousness and teamwork, including vision.

These aspects are the fundamental reason why Samsung can gain a foothold in the LCK and even the World Championship.

After the ten sons of Samsung left, Samsung became a thorough operation team.

They are the best team in the world at running games and the best at defensive counterattacks.

"With IG's behavior, it seems like I'm about to encounter SSG!"

The doll lowered his voice.

"We have an advantage in the first-level group, but Samsung seems to be on alert, so we probably won't be able to fight."

In the game, IG and his team have already arrived in the second half of the game in advance.

But what is strange is that they did not rush in first.

Gragas walked in the front and went in alone from the middle river and the jungle entrance next to the dragon pit.

Then he followed step by step and slowly circled to the position of the stone beetle. The whole process was silent and no one noticed it.

"No... Yuan Shen's position is too risky, right? If he is discovered, it will be a big deal! The position is too deep, and he can't run away even if he wants to!"

The audience was a little confused when they saw this scene.

Opening lightning!

"No, SSG didn't find it this time. Gragas is too brave."

In the game, SSG stood in the bushes behind the red buff pit, waiting for the enemy to invade.

Their attention was completely focused on the IG four-man team in the middle of the river.

As for the Gragas who had not appeared, they thought he was crouching in the bushes or in the shadow of the vision behind.

No one expected that Gragas would touch behind them alone.

"Ultimately go around, the other IG members haven't shown up yet, this wave is blind vision, can Gragas go around? SSG... Eh?? CoreJJ went over there!!"

Wawa was just getting excited. If Gragas didn't get caught, they could catch them off guard in the first-level fight. Then, with the help of the IG players in front, IG, which was already strong in the early stage, would surely win!

But before he finished speaking, he saw that Tam was at the back of the formation. He turned around subconsciously and a yellow eye was inserted through the wall at the position of the stone beetle.

Gragas was at this position just now!

But at this moment, after the eye was inserted, Gragas had already gone around to the other side of the wall in advance, and was only a corner away from Tam!

The two were almost face to face, but Gragas was not seen!

"Ouch! Did CoreJJ find this ward? Samsung's overall awareness is too strong, do they have to intervene?"

"No! It was not seen! Wow, Yuan Shen's show! He moved back directly, just outside CoreJJ's ward field of view, what is this? Both sides have started?" Wawa's emotions fluctuated, and he was confused. The same was true for the others. This scene happened at this time, and everyone felt their heartbeats speed up.

"Yuan Shen is too bold! But this wave of Gragas seems to be successful! He went around the field of vision, and the opponent just didn't notice it."

"I feel that Yuan Shen's awareness is really terrifying! Samsung didn't notice him the whole time!"

"And... and Xiao Ming was signaling, IG guessed the position of SSG! Here it comes, Gragas is coming!"

In the game, Yuan Shen had gone around to the bushes opposite the red buff, stuck in the field of vision, and came to the red buff pit very extreme, behind the five SSG players.

"Going around alone, this wave Yuan Shen approached Samsung without anyone noticing, and he was still not discovered!"

The scene was completely boiling.

"Yuan Shen is a bit too hard! He did this at level 1. If he fails, his early rhythm will be gone, and he will start at a disadvantage. Samsung didn't notice this wave, and Gragas was very close to Samsung. What does IG say? Should we open it? ?

"We should give Gragas a vision. If we don't give Gragas a vision, we can't stun many people with E!"

In the game, the Samsung players were wandering in the bushes behind the red buff pit and the entrance to the jungle, waiting for IG and others to harass them.

And Gragas is now only separated from the Samsung players by a wall!

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart was lifted.

"Can you give us a vision? It should be okay for Gragas to go there now, but it may also let the Samsung players react... But if we don't put in a vision, there will be no vision. Let's see how IG decides..."

In the game, at this tense moment, Gragas had no vision in front of him, because Samsung had already left the red buff pit, and IG on the other side The people had been crouching outside the jungle wall. They were discussing whether to go over to give vision to Gragas. Although this would make the Samsung players wary and keep a distance, it would also have some effect.

But at this moment, Yuan Shen moved directly!

A blind E skill passed through the wall!

On the other side, Samsung's AD and support, including Malzahar, had been leaning against the wall.

The prince was not far away from everyone.

Gragas didn't even use E flash. With this wave of completely blind vision prediction E, he instantly knocked all four Samsung players unconscious!

The scene was shocking, and everyone was dumbfounded instantly!

"Oh my God! This wave of Gragas stunned four people!"

"IG is up! Braum Q hit the rat, Samsung is going to explode!!"

"This wave of spiritual circling has done a great job! ! "

Lao Shu's health was the first to reach the bottom, and the control on him finally ended. He quickly used a DF combo and used two skills to escape.

Among the others, the prince was also beaten by Han Bing and the IG team to only half of his health, and he was at the front of the crowd, so if he walked back, he would definitely die.

Master An also flashed away without hesitation.

IG was really too strong in the first-level group. Three of the four three-star heroes were in the middle and late stages. Moreover, under the premise that Lao Shu left first, there was no way to fight against the IG with full health!

Rat used two skills to escape, and Prince used flash. Only Tam and Malzahar were left on Samsung. The two had no way to deal with the five IG players who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, and could only retreat again and again. Finally, Tam also used his flash, and learned W to swallow Malzahar through the wall and escaped madly.

But at this moment, RooKie suddenly flashed W and stepped over, relying directly on the weak vision just now, and killed Rat who was secretly returning to the city next to him with pure consciousness.

"IG-Rookie (Leblanc) killed SSG-Ruler (Plague Source)!!!"

"First Blood!"

First blood!

IG got the first blood!

From the beginning to the end, Gragas was just walking A output, and his health was still half left.

This wave of level 1 group ended, and the scene was boiling instantly!

"This wave of IG played so beautifully!" Wawa saw that IG's level 1 group ended in such a crushing way, and the whole person jumped up!

"This Gragas has done a great job! This time, Yuan Shen used his E skill with blind vision and directly E'd four Samsung players. Samsung was collectively confused and didn't understand what was going on, and all of them were defeated!"

"Samsung was confused, this is really confused, why did this Gragas appear in our rear? How did he suddenly appear? Did he suddenly appear out of thin air?"

"Too good, this Gragas blocked the vision and E'd four people, wow!! This is IG, no matter what time it is, IG has never let us down!!"

"Ahhh!!"

"IG!! IG is awesome!!"

"Go IG!"

"This Gragas is outrageous, he went around half of the map??"

The audience at the scene was completely crazy at this moment

We'll kill you at the beginning, IG's recklessness, IG's crazy attack, it's not a joke!

"Rookie is also decisive, this wave directly flashed W to get the head! Then IG made a lot of money in this level 1 group!!" Wawa said excitedly.

"It's definitely a big win. Samsung used three flashes. If a jungler like Prince doesn't have flashes in the early stage, IG will be more comfortable on the line. Anzhang may seriously delay his own rhythm because of this flash! There is also the bottom lane duo. Rat's double skills are gone, and the people are dead. This is really a bit explosive! This E of the barrel is devastating! It directly broke the rhythm of Samsung in the early stage!"

"And the head was taken by Rookie. Brother Crown was not in a good situation in the early stage!"

In the game, after this wave of level 1 team fight, IG got three flashes and a treatment from the opponent, and Rat's first blood!

Just because of the E skill of the barrel, it can be said to be a big win!

The kind of big win!

"Wow, Brother Yuan, you are too fierce, right? Why did you go up directly just now? I said I would go up and sell a wave to give a vision?"

In the IG team, everyone was energetic and excited.

Especially Xiao Ming, who was particularly excited.

Just now, when Gragas used E, he didn't even discuss it with them, he just used it directly!

If he wasn't young, he really wouldn't have reacted.

"I'll just give it a try. Several Samsung players have been in that position. I can at least use E to one or two of them, so that at least I can force some skills. I didn't expect that the opponents were so concentrated..." Yuan Shen himself was also confused. He knew that this wave could succeed, but he didn't expect to have such a big advantage.

The most important thing is that if he doesn't open it again, he will not be able to catch up with the wild monsters when he returns to the city.

"Awesome."

As the teammates talked, the replay was also released outside the field.

This wave of replays actually followed Gragas throughout the whole process. Gragas got stuck in the vision several times, including the last blind vision E, which the director specially gave to Yuan Shen's personal shot.

Billions of viewers around the world looked at the dark fog of war in front of Gragas, and then after E passed, the four Samsung players stood up collectively.

I can only say, awesome!

"So cool, this wave of Gragas is really cool, I really didn't expect to be able to E four."

"Sometimes luck is also a part of strength, and I don't think it's necessarily luck. The IG people here have gone home. This time, we are comfortable!"

"It's much easier to play on the line!" Miller said with a smile.

"Yes, and the prince now has to consider the movement of this Gragas. If he doesn't flash, Gragas is likely to go to him!"

In the game.

Gragas went home to make up for his condition, and then went directly to the lower half jungle to get the blue buff.

After getting the blue buff, he brushed the toad as usual, and finally got the red buff. At this time, he was already level 3.

At this time, the situation of each lane, the impact of the first-level group has produced a butterfly effect.

In each lane of IG, except for the less pressure in the bottom lane, there are some advantages in the middle and top lanes. The top lane is okay, but the advantage in the middle lane is visible to the naked eye.

Rookie almost pushed Crown back home. In this game, he was in a brave state from the beginning, and it can be seen that he really wanted to win the game.

The opposing prince did not do anything during this period, because he did not have flash, and knowing Yuan Shen's strength, An played more conservatively.

Until this moment, he made a new move.

Go straight to the top lane.

On the top lane, the laning of both sides was also quite entertaining, with you coming and going, very tense,

Gnar has been suppressing the tree a little, which is the advantage of long arms. Similarly, the opposing CuVee is not weak, and the tree is even stronger in the version, and it seems that he only suppressed a few knives.

But Theshy's play is very aggressive, so it gives people a feeling that it is easy to catch.

"Master An... Prince is moving! Master An can't help it, he has to move, otherwise the pressure on each lane will be too great!"

"Yes, Gnar is a little dangerous here, Theshy is a little forward, did you realize it? No. IG didn't even make a ward on the top lane here, this... is not right!"

Miller looked at the map and was stunned: "Hey, Gragas is also nearby, did Yuan Shen realize it??

In the game, Gragas didn't even take the river crab, and rushed to the top lane without hesitation!

Because he was walking in his own jungle, Gragas was not discovered by the vision when he went to the top lane.

At this moment, the positions of the two people on the top lane were in the middle of the river, facing the line steadily, and Gragas deliberately made a vision, and then walked from behind the first tower to the first bush on the top lane.

Without any movement, he just crouched there quietly.

But just standing there, everyone was crazy.

"Yuan Shen's awareness! This wave of anti-squatting is too critical. If Prince comes to catch it, it will be blown up! ! "

"Has Master An not discovered it yet? He took down the river crab in the top lane and was still rushing up, but the Gragas had already crouched in place. "

The audience cheered, but the LCK commentators were in mourning.

The Roaring Emperor could no longer roar. The failure at the beginning made his voice weak. When he saw Master An walking towards the top lane, he covered his face in pain.

"You can't go there! ! That's a dead end! ! "
