Fierce shooter

"Let us congratulate the Thorn Birds team for winning the Spring Festival Gala derby against EDG! They are temporarily leading 1-0, congratulations to them!"

In the commentary box, Guan Zeyuan had a look of emotion on his face when the EDG team's base exploded.

Judging from his commentator's perspective, the quality of the Thorn Birds' performance in this game can be said to be very high.

From the beginning to the end, the Thorn Birds were not sloppy at all. When they gained a huge enough advantage, a wave of decisions with poor skill CDs perfectly killed the game.

"Maybe as a new team, the Thorn Birds still have a lot to improve, but Brother Luo is the soul of the Thorn Birds team. With Brother Luo here, the late decision-making is undoubtedly one of the greatest strengths of the Thorn Birds team. .”

Wang remembered that he was also sincerely impressed.

From the perspective of a team game, what impressed Wang most about this game was the decisive force under the highland tower.

Everyone in the Thorn Birds knows all too well how weak the EDG team's lineup is in counterattacking when it lacks ultimate moves.

The importance of command in a team is also clearly reflected in this wave of decision-making.

Normally, only very experienced teams can do this.

As a new team, the Thorn Birds already have this characteristic, which is not easy.

"Anyway, the game is not over yet. I hope EDG can adjust their mentality during the halftime break, and I also hope that the Thorn Birds team can maintain the momentum of the first game. Audience friends, let's take a short break, and then return!"

Guan Zeyuan ended the first game.

At the same time, in the backstage lounge.

Lin Weixiang sat back in his chair and picked his fingers, saying nothing.

Although Jinks' victory was caused by him, whether it was Abramovich backstage or the countless spectators watching the game, they all knew clearly that Lin Weixiang could not be blamed for this.

Apart from anything else, when Lin Weixiang was in the Xiaolong group, with inferior equipment, he made a perfect entrance and exchanged Jinx for 1 for 1. The blame will never be on his head.

And Abramovich didn't mean to share the pot. In fact, the performance of EDG players in this game was remarkable. Although there were some minor mistakes, the Thorn Birds' side was not perfect. I can only say that Li Luo was at his upper limit. It's really too high.

"What do you say now? Press Jinx?"

Abramovich looked around and asked his teammates for their opinions.

"Definitely not. If Lao Li takes out a Hero C and we have to press it down, then what else is there to do... How can there be so many bans to target him."

Mingkai said with a wry smile: "In this game, we made a mistake in our cooperation at the entry point. We can just improve it in the next round. The question I am more concerned about now is... how do we choose sides in the next round."

Mingkai's words caused the scene to fall into a brief silence.

How to choose a side.

A seemingly ordinary problem is actually the biggest problem that EDG currently faces.

The presence of Li Luo in the Thorn Birds team means that this is a creative team.

If the Thorn Birds are allowed to go to the red side, the small, large, and two-handed counter positions on the third and fifth floors will undoubtedly bring great trouble to EDG.

But if the Thorn Birds continue to be on the blue side, their BP seems to be a little more difficult to do.

The difficulty with EDG's BP is that this version of Silas is too strong, and EDG has no way to allow Silas to swing mid-to-upper.

Although Jin Gong can also play Sylas, the style and attributes of this hero do not match Jin Gong. Sylas needs strong offensiveness and flexible thinking. Jin Gong is obviously not this type of professional player.

If the Thorn Birds are on the blue side, they will definitely be able to get them if Silas is released, and the subsequent second and third floor heroes, the Thorn Birds, will most likely come out of the two-man lane. At this time, if you are in front of EDG on the red side, you can choose neither of them. If you go out of the duo lane, you won't be able to get heroes that are easy to deal with in the subsequent duo lane.

If you play the duo lane, it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse. After all, EDG has roughly figured out the situation of their bottom lane duo against the Thorn Birds duo lane. It is unlikely that the bottom lane duo will be able to fight against it, so they can only use the upper midfielder. However, when entering the middle field first, the bottom lane cannot be too passive.

For a while, EDG was in a dilemma.

And even if EDG is on the blue side, they can't play Silas first. Xiye's Kassadin will always be a thorn in their hearts.

From this perspective, EDG's overall style and hero pool seem to be restrained by the Thorn Birds.

"Choose blue."

After thinking over and over again, Abu finally made a decision. He was silent for two seconds and then said: "We will ban Silas ourselves and let a ban position come out."

Abu's words made the atmosphere in the entire lounge a little gloomier.

The primary school boy stood there silently.

He actually knows how to play the hero Kassadin.

Just less fun.

His proficiency cannot be compared with Xiye.

It's still a matter of game style, just like Jin Gong's own limitations.

After all, the younger brother's game style still focuses on early laning.

Kassadin is a hero who plays poorly in laning?

In my entire career, I have played four Kassadin games.

These four Kassadin have a 50% winning rate.

To put it simply, Kassadin is the kind of kid who can be played when he develops.

His abilities before development were undoubtedly much inferior to those of Xiye.

Let him use Kassadin to go to Conteselas. The junior boy has no confidence in that.

In fact, he hoped that the Thorn Birds could release Zoe. It would be perfect to use Zoe to go to Conteselas.

But it is a pity that the Thorn Birds sent a clear signal to EDG in the first game of BO3.

Do you want to play Zoe Lee? If you think too much, I won’t let you play it. Even if Zoe is no longer a T1 hero, I won’t let you get it.

So EDG can only ban.

Especially after Abramovich roughly talked about his tactical ideas for the second game, Silas should be banned at this point.

After submitting the side selection information and the unchanged starting five to the referee, Abramovich clearly showed a hint of worry in his eyes.

Today's game made Abu realize that the problems they had concealed under their recent high momentum seemed to have been noticed by Li Luo and were even brought to light.

As for whether Zhu Kai noticed it, Abu did not question it. After all, he had worked with Zhu Kai for a year, and the relationship between the two parties was relatively good. Joking aside, Abu clearly knew that Zhu Kai did not have the brains and sense of smell. of.

Li Luo must have noticed it.

Many teams are paying attention to this game.

The next days for EDG may not be easy.

What EDG has to do now is to use a victory to boost their morale and also tell all teams that their EDG tactics are flexible and changeable!

Soon, the players from both sides set foot on the stage again.

"Why doesn't Tian Sang start? He plays Ming Kai again."

Xiang Guo muttered.

Li Luo smiled and did not answer.

It is impossible for Abu to let Xiaotian start this game, Li Luo is sure.

You must know that Xiaotian is a jungler trained by Li Luo. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Luo knows Xiaotian better than Meiko. If EDG lets Xiaotian play, with Li Luo’s radar, Xiaotian’s big Most behaviors will be clearly understood.

Mingkai is old and demonic, so in theory he is more suitable for fighting.

"They chose the blue side and they should change their formation. Be careful and try to win 2-0 as much as possible. Don't delay."

Li Luo narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

Although the Thorn Birds are not ranked low, their small points disadvantage among teams at the same level is very obvious.

The Thorn Birds now need a big win to stabilize the fans' emotions. Although the daily rumors cannot affect Li Luo, his teammates will feel a little pressure.

2 to 0 EDG can put a stop to the trolls on Weibo and even Tieba forums as well as the public accounts of major media that are good at setting the pace.

"Try it."

Zhu Kai nodded slightly.

With the reappearance of Guan Zeyuan and Wang Jiji, the second match between the two sides quickly kicked off.

"EDG on the blue side, Thorn Birds on the red side! As expected, the EDG team's front two-hand ban positions were still given to the policewoman and Ezreal, but their third-hand ban position was adjusted and given to plug Lars!”

"There is no change in the third-hand ban position on the Thorn Birds side. Captain Zoe's wheel mother is exactly the same as the previous game."

At the commentary table, Guan Zeyuan said thoughtfully: "It seems that EDG feels it is a bit difficult to deal with Silas, so they actually have many choices on this floor. Let's see... Oh? EDG The first floor finalizes Jace first? Guaranteeing a strong start all the way?"

There was some doubt in Guan Zeyuan's voice.

If it were any other team, it would be regarded as a swing position when they instantly pick Jayce on the first floor.

Jace is mid-level and top-level in the current version.

Let Jace go to the middle, and take AP on the top lane. Let Jace go on the middle lane, and take AP.

This is the most common tactical play in the current version and is applicable to all teams.

But Jin Gong on EDG doesn't play Jace very much. To be precise, he is not particularly proficient in Jace.

Therefore, EDG's selection of Jayce on the first floor basically means that the bright side will definitely choose the lane.

On the thorn bird battle table.

"How's your game with Jingongjies? Brother Luo."

Brother Holy Spear asked.

Li Luo thought thoughtfully: "She's quite strong, better than me."

"Cut~"

There were boos in the Thorn Birds battle arena.

But Brother Holy Spear felt relieved after hearing this.

A seasoned player like him is relatively comfortable playing Jin Gong.

After EDG's first floor was finalized, it was the Thorn Birds team's turn to make a choice.

The choice of heroes on the first and second floors of Thorn Birds made Abu slightly stunned.

Prince, Galio.

Same as their last handful.

Seeing these two choices, in the EDG battle table, the faces of the younger brother and Ming Kai turned a little dark.

This... is to teach the rhythm of life.

Moreover, the Thorn Birds were not in a hurry to grab the adc. They probably planned to grab it on the third floor.

The most important thing is that this wave of Thorn Birds' first and second floor choices directly threw a problem to EDG.

That is... the hero Jinx, EDG should choose it or not.

Needless to say, Jinx and Jace are a bad match.

Jinx needs to be paired with a mage mid laner who is relatively functional or has relatively long hands and some control.

Jayce's purely offensive poke-style lineup cannot go together with Jinx.

And if EDG knocks out Jinx, will the Thorn Birds use Kai'Sa to defeat him?

Li Luo’s Kai’Sa…

"Let's stick to the original plan."

Abu said in a deep voice.

The Prince Galio system paired with Jinx is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

Another signal shown by the Thorn Birds is that if you EDG don't take it, then we will take it.

Abu made a plan in his mind.

EDG locked down the heroes on the second and third floors with almost a second selection speed.

Lucian, Pike!

Meiko, the hero of Pike, was the first to be used by all players in the LPL.

And that match worked out really well.

The purpose of selecting these two heroes EDG is also very clear.

As long as the Thorn Birds dare to choose Jinx, as a non-displacement adc, they will have to face the pressure brought by Pike endlessly.

Eat a hook, and Lucian's follow-up output can kill Jinx in seconds.

This is a tactic created by Li Luo, and now it is directly used by EDG.

As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade.

The Parker system has also become one of the core systems hidden in the EDG team.

Although I don't use it much, the effect is very good every time I use it.

This is obviously a counterattack card played by EDG after facing the pressure from the Thorn Birds.

But will Li Luo be timid?

On the third floor of Thorn Bird, choose Jinx in seconds.

"It's still Jinx... Jinx, who almost had five kills in the last one, was picked by Brother Luo again, but the pressure this EDG bottom lane can put on the lane is actually greater than the last one. More, it depends on how the Thorn Birds’ support chooses.”

As Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the second rounds of bans from both sides were released one after another.

I saw that the blue side of the EDG team focused on auxiliary heroes.

The Bull Head and the Titan were all pressed down.

With limited ban slots, these two heroes are what EDG finds most annoying.

The ban position of Thorn Bird is very intriguing.

The excavator in one hand and the widow in the other carry the memories of countless players, and it also shows that the Thorn Birds still gave enough respect to the veteran Mingkai even in the S9 season.

The excavator's appearance probability in the current version is gratifying, and its strength is also very good.

The Widow's words are that the Thorn Birds are worried that EDG will use the double invisibility of the Widow and Pike to create multiple possibilities.

When these two heroes were banned, Mingkai, who was in the EDG battle table, didn't hold back and just laughed.

However, when the director keenly captured Ming Kai's smile and turned the camera to him, Ming Kai stopped his smile for another second and reproduced the magic of changing his face.

Abu was in a very happy mood.

As a veteran, Mingkai can occupy two ban positions on the court, which is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

But soon Abu couldn't be happy anymore.

Because the heroes locked on the fourth floor of Thorn Birds are a bit too...unpopular?

"The fourth floor of Thorn Bird...eh...huh?!"

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed when he looked at the hero displayed on the fourth floor of Thorn Bird. The next second, Thorn Bird's lock directly caused Guan Zeyuan to raise his tone by several dimensions.

"Ri...Raven?! The Thorn Birds locked up Raven on the fourth floor, wtf?"

Guan Zeyuan was stunned.

The audience at the scene was also stunned.

Ever since the League of Legends professional league got on track, Raven has always been in an unpopular position on the court.

This hero is a bit like Draven. Except for a few professional players, most other professional players are not very good at playing it.

Not enough here refers to insufficient proficiency.

Some heroes in League of Legends are like this. Low proficiency and high proficiency present two completely different dimensions.

On the contrary, for heroes like Ornn and Urgot, whether they are good or bad can't be determined from regular games.

Raven was different.

There is a completely different divide between good and bad.

But the Thorn Birds locked it directly. On the EDG side, it was locked before the units came out.

Jin Gong is a bit clueless here.

He didn't meet Raven that many times in his usual rank.

There are almost none in training matches.

Now that Raven suddenly appeared, Jin Gong couldn't think of the most suitable hero to use to fight him.

Brother Shengqiang smiled happily.

Will he play Raven?

There is no doubt about it.

As a veteran who has competed in the professional arena for a long time, even though he is young, Brother Holy Spear can really play Raven.

So far, Holy Spear's Raven has played 13 times in the professional arena.

The winning rate is around 60%.

In terms of proficiency, Brother Holy Spear has no problem at all.

It is worth mentioning that because the hero Raven has multiple dashes, he is very advantageous against AP mid laners.

Whether it's a vampire or Ryze, it will be extremely difficult for Jin Gong to play with whichever of these two lineups is most suitable for them. As long as Raven has some equipment, he will be able to flash with a high probability when he is close to these mage heroes.

Jin Gong was confused.

But Abu was even more confused.

Because... Thorn Bird is the hero from the fourth floor.

From a normal perspective, wouldn't it be more effective for the Thorn Birds to place top laner Raven in the counter position on the fifth floor? After all, Abu originally wanted Jin Gong to play a vampire.

However, the Thorn Birds still chose to play the top lane on the fourth floor, playing Raven first and letting EDG Counter.

What does this mean?

This shows that the heroes in the auxiliary position on the fifth floor of Thorn Birds are likely to have more variables.

The fear of the unknown is the scariest.

"Vampire and Ryze can't do it anymore, Kenan."

Jin Gong hesitated and said.

"That's fine."

Abu took a deep breath.

Now that the Thorn Birds have changed their formation.

Then they... don't plan to keep it.

Kenan appears on the fourth floor.

As for the jungler position on the fifth floor, EDG's casting once again caused an uproar on the scene.

Death is singing!

A hoarse voice sounded, and EDG instantly chose a dead song on the fifth floor!

Death Song, as a jungle hero that has only recently appeared in the European arena, is naturally one of the unpopular ones.

But just such a hero appeared in the LPL arena, still in the jungle position used by Ming Kai!

"Fuck... darling, Death Song is here. Then EDG's lineup... there is a saying. Kennen's ultimate move comes into play, Death Song's AOE and ultimate moves are combined with Jace's poke, and Lucian resists the mid-term addition. Pike’s Harvest… I don’t know how effective this system will be.”

Guan Zeyuan murmured to himself.

The next moment, the fifth-floor hero of the Thorn Birds team locked down in seconds.

Astral wandering god, Bard!

The noise at the scene reached its peak at this moment.

There is no doubt that the effects of both sides' programs in this game were maximized!

The appearance of Raven and Bard directly sublimated the seemingly ordinary lineup of three heroes: Prince, Galio and Jinx!
