What is a hexagon jungler?

"It's over, it's over..." Duan Deliang looked very annoyed, "Why can Samsung guess RNG's flaws!"

In the Guangzhou Gymnasium, Edgar was pacing behind the players' seats.

As time passed, the first and second floors of the red side RNG still did not choose a hero. Seeing this scene, Edgar's originally flustered mind slowly calmed down.

You guessed it.

If the RNG duo can use Xialuo, there is no need to hesitate at all, just choose it in seconds.

What are you thinking about?

He smiled triumphantly and wildly.

In the last match against VG in the group stage, Edgar was taught a bad lesson when he released Xia Luolai.

Originally, I made up my mind that I would not play Legend of the Phoenix again.

But on the night when the lottery was decided against RNG, Edgar checked the hero pool information of the five Royal Family players.

I wanted to be fully prepared to be safe.

Unexpectedly, I actually found a clue!

Xialuo is really ruthless. In terms of the strength of the duo alone, it is second only to skateboard shoes + incense burner soft assistant in this world competition.

In the case that Calista can't be released, Xia Luo is a proper top duo in the S7 global finals!

But what if the players don't know how to use it?

Edgar didn't quite believe it at first, and even scoffed.

How could there be a professional player who can't play Xialuo?

Yet the data tell him it's possible.

Let's start with the individual.

The assistant Shi Senming has played a total of 6 games with Luo since the summer split. He has not had any high-profile performances, and his 2 wins and 4 losses are far lower than RNG's season average winning percentage.

The shooter Uzi is even more outrageous. Xia played a total of two sets throughout the summer game, and his performance was mediocre with 1 win and 1 loss.

The most exaggerated thing is that Fist installed Phoenix Legend at the end of April, and Uzi didn't practice Xia for the first time until July 6!

RNG didn't go to the mid-season game again, why did Uzi go in those two months?

Edgar didn't know, and didn't care.

He only knew that the two people in the RNG duo were pure jokers, and they couldn't practice Xia Luo for half a year.

Putting it together is even more pure and against the sky.

From the summer split to the quarterfinals of S7, RNG never even played a game of Xia Luo!

You must know that throughout the summer of this year, Xialuo has been a well-known version of the T0 duo.

In the LPL, the combination played a total of 23 games, with a winning rate as high as 5%, and they are the best in the bottom lane!

There are a total of 12 teams in the entire competition area, and 11 of them have records of using Xia Luo, so I'm afraid you won't be able to get them.

There is only RNG, and you don’t choose it when you release it!

Edgar was like a shark smelling blood at the time, only to find Huadian.

Just because he didn't play in qualifying, he didn't dare to conclude that the RNG bottom lane team wouldn't be able to play Xialuo. After all, some players secretly practiced in private, and with enough tacit understanding, the actual effect was also very good.

Even if he didn't choose in the professional arena, Edgar wouldn't jump to conclusions, because he was afraid that people would deliberately keep a hand waiting to black him out.

But you don't practice in qualifying, and you don't need it on the field.

This is how the version's only T0 duo plays?

Edgar combined the two factors together, judging that RNG is really not good at Xialuo in the bottom lane.

Of course, everyone's standard of being a hero is different.

Some people think that as long as players have practiced in qualifying, they don't need to be verified in the professional arena. Anyway, if Rank kills a game randomly, fans will come out to brag.

Some people think that as long as they dare to use a set in the regular season, it doesn't matter whether it is C or not, it is considered proficient anyway...

Edgar has always been very strict in the training management of players, and the standards are completely different.

His criteria for whether you will play this role is that you dare to obey the coach's lineup arrangement in key games and choose them without any scruples, and your performance is in line with the normal level of players, and you can implement tactics. Don't let the team pay for your hero pool!

Under his standards, the royal family's ability to use Xialuo is obviously not up to standard, which is why they deliberately released RNG's Legend of the Phoenix today.

This judgment has now been confirmed.

RNG seemed shocked by Edgar's bold move to release Xialuo, and fell into the embarrassing situation of being exposed for a while, and did not make a decision until the end of the countdown reading.

Take out Xiaopao + Prince, two strong characters who take into account both strong opening and advancing capabilities in the early and mid-term.

"It's done!" Edgar said happily.

Because Samsung's group stage results are not ideal.

In this BO5, they lost the right to choose sides first. In this version where the blue side takes the absolute initiative, SSG is at a natural disadvantage.

But after confirming that RNG will not be Xialuo, the situation facing the two sides in this BO5 will be reversed!

Xialuo, a top duo like SSG, is naturally well-trained. If RNG doesn't use it, they will have to take on the Ban role in the future.

There are only 3 bans in the first round, and then they will be split to split Xialuo, so what do you do with top laner Cuvee?

"Sheng Zhen, your stage is going to be big next time," Edgar looked for his family with a happy face, "you must seize the opportunity!"

Cuvee understood, nodded solemnly and agreed, "Don't worry, today we must beat the top laner hard!"

If it's a meat tank, he thinks he can't compare to Letme.

But times have changed!

Still playing traditional tanks?

Now it's the world of single-belt top orders!

In fact, SSG only learned of the drastic change in the top order environment yesterday.

After all, Samsung didn't directly participate in the EZ jungler trap guided by Gu Xing. It just fanned the fire and mixed some broth with it.

Thinking of bringing other teams into the pit is tantamount to SSG earning a bargain.

So the priority of the top laner has changed, and they really don't know anything.

However, after Samsung lost against VG in the first round of the group stage, the extension of Edgar's wretched real eye sea tactics also involved part of the top laner.

SSG's evolutionary style of play is to live and release the right in the early stage, to gain opportunities for development in the mid-term, and to win the game by relying on its best 5v5 frontal team battles in the later stage.

But the field of vision alone is not enough, there must always be team members responsible for pulling out the space, otherwise even if you can control the movement of the enemy personnel through the eye position, you will not dare to cross the river to make money!

Whether it can cross the river to develop is very important for the defender.

All minions start from the bases of both sides towards the three lines. If you can push through the river in the center of the map, it means that you can get the pawn line faster than your opponent, thus accumulating more experience and economy, and opening up the enemy. bit gap.

What's more, after the pawn line is pushed across the river by the hero, it will also provide the side with more hidden benefits such as vision control, field defense, and neutral resource competition.

It can be said that if the disadvantaged side can push the pawn line across the river, the whole team can use this to gain a broad space for development!

This complements Samsung's true eye strategy.

The vision provided by the ward position allows the hero to better push the pawn line out, and the forward pawn line can ensure a better vision for the team to deploy and control.

So who is the candidate?

Naturally, Edgar will be assigned to the player with the strongest personal strength.

After the decline of Crown's operation and began to transform team players, the strongest member of Samsung's operation became Cuvee.

Therefore, Edgar handed over the task of stretching the space to his top laner, and thought of a suitable hero for him.

Except for Gnar, who Cuvee is best at, the recommended ones are Shen and Troll.

These characters have a lot of advantages when facing tanks, and the intensity of team battles is not bad.

This is the top priority of Edgar's consideration. After all, team battles are the capital for Samsung to gain a foothold in the LCK.

It's just that he didn't expect that the two factors of the price of Doran's shield and the gain of the incense burner, which were changed a long time ago, would push the long-handed single belt top order to the altar!

But it's not a big problem, only a few heroes need extra practice.

Like AD Kenan Cuvee, he is also very good at it. He can get started quickly without picking it up and playing two sets for a long time.

It seems that the way Dragon Ball chose to win yesterday was purely by split pushing—Khan didn't go back when his front teammate was about to be overwhelmed.

It is completely different from Samsung's idea of ​​winning through team battles.

But Edgar wasn't panicking at all.

Because he knows this version, it is difficult to end the game simply by split pushing on the top lane.

Unless the opponent is the LPL local top laner.

It's really not that Edgar looked down on the domestic top laner on the opposite side.

But in terms of strength, at present, Queshi is far behind the Korean style on the road!

For example, in the second game, Cuvee took out Gnar, and saw that the opposing Letme could not fight back, so he simply chose a way to lead to the black, and successfully helped the team win a victory!

"It's broken," Gu Xing, who was watching the game at the hotel, felt bad, "How should RNG do BP?"

Xia Luo's flaw was tested by Samsung, but she couldn't deal with it on the road...

RNG still plays hammer!

Not only Gu Xing, but everyone in the training room believed that RNG would definitely lose.

In times of crisis, the savior of the royal family came.

"The prince of Mala Xiangguo flashed into the arena from behind with EQ, and his big move hit Xiaopao's body!"

The doll started screaming hoarsely.

Before the prince could do anything, a thick white shield appeared on the top of Jarvan IV's head.

It is the big move from top laner Letme Shen!

Now Shen is about to enter the arena!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ruler first used R [Destroy Shot] to push the incense pot away, and then handed in the rocket to jump and run backwards.

But Letme handed over the E flash after landing and successfully trapped Xiaopao.

"Corejj is trying his best to protect Ruler, but Uzi's damage is a bit explosive. After Big Mouth activates the biochemical barrage, the range has been improved, and it can output to the small cannon from a long distance... Ruler is second!"

The wah-wah of the doll echoed in the ears of the VG members in the training room.

Samsung couldn't pick Fengnv in this game, and its overall protection ability was slightly inferior. Facing the crazy rush of RNG members, they were helpless, so they had to watch Ruler fall to the ground!

The anger value of Cuvee Gnar, who teleported to the ground, was just right, and after getting bigger, he flashed and shot the three of RNG to the wall.

Even so, it didn't save the teamfight!

The shooter is the first to die, and there is no way for Samsung to win.

The damage of the two sides is very different. RNG finally paid the price of three people killed in battle to harvest the group, and won the big dragon + ancient dragon.

Ssangyong will be in hand, and the balance of the situation will completely tilt to RNG!

"The incense pot is really daring to open it. If you can't get around Samsung's field of vision, you simply don't hide it, and start the group from a long distance directly behind. It doesn't make sense at all!" Waowa was extremely excited.

The director gave a close-up shot of the incense pot at the right time. In the picture, he clenched his fists and let out a roar, venting his inner emotions to his heart's content.

"Beautiful, Liu Shiyu!" Gu Xing looked excited and couldn't help applauding for his friend.

"This version of the incense pot is really ruthless," Jack was also full of praise, "Hunger strike can be regarded as a game for him to understand."

After the transformation, Liu Shiyu began to gradually transfer resources to his teammates and created a set of hunger strike style.

Gu Xing stole it and used it for himself. Although the effect of using it was very good, it was still not as good.

The jungle environment of the S7 World Championship is just suitable for hunger strikes, and the herbivorous meat tank junglers who do not require high equipment occupy the stage, making Liu Shiyu feel like a fish in water!

His aggressive jungle invasion style can bring great pressure to the enemy, and at the same time he has a top-notch team-starting sense.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the incense pot is the son of the version!

It's a pity that the teammates are really not strong.

After relying on Xiangguo's forceful start to win the third game and take the lead in getting the match point, RNG began to show its true colors in the fourth game.

Letme can't play much role with Gnar at all, the control of anger and control is in a mess, and it is firmly suppressed by Cuvee's AD Kenan!

"Why did you choose Gnar?" Li Zhixun couldn't understand, "Don't you understand how to maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses?"

You are playing Gnar all over Letme, can he play?

Can't play, don't have that ability!

Firefox's move seems to be to relieve the pressure of BP by grabbing the ban, but it sent itself into a deep pit!

Anyway, they are all under pressure, it is better to choose a pure tank to protect the platoon!

After Cuvee pulled out the space in the side lane, everyone in SSG seized the time to steal development, and evened out the disadvantages little by little through skillful lane transfer skills.

In the end, RNG persisted for 55 minutes, but still lost to AD Kenan in Liushenzhuang. Unfortunately, the defeat was dragged into the BO5 tiebreaker!

"Silver Trace" was played in the S7 World Championship for the first time. Amidst the explosive music of metal, the audience was not so excited.

Samsung is full of resilience, as if it can't be beaten no matter how hard it is, it can still stand up tremblingly and fight back after being knocked down!

When Gu Xing watched the live broadcast, he could still see the chaos in the chat channel.

【RNG won't lose too, right? Fuck it! The whole Chinese class was stunned! 】

[It’s broken, Uzi in the fifth game knows everything, Ambison won’t be caught at level 2, right? 】

[Xiao Hu, stop messing around, can you help me? I really beg you]

[Letme plays Shen honestly, is it okay to hand the ball to Uzi? Believe in Uzi, he is our pride! 】

At the beginning of the deciding game, RNG fell into a hard fight.

Samsung has become more and more courageous, and its state is much better than the first game of BO5.

This group of people has always been able to play bladder tactics, and the main thing is that their energy is far beyond ordinary people. The 40 to 50 minutes of hard operations are not worth mentioning in front of them, but the basic operations!

On the other hand, RNG played for nearly an hour in the first game, and after four hours of fierce fighting, their eyes were blurred. The start was very out of shape, and they didn't have much advantage in the laning.

Xiangguo tried his best to drive the rhythm of the audience, but he fought alone, and there was no teammate who could stand up and help him!

Xiaohu in the World Championships knows everything. Even if the crown's strength declines seriously, it will be no problem to handle Li Yuanhao.

Not to mention the top laner Letme, he is indeed better than Cuvee in playing meat tanks, but Yan Junze's strength has fallen behind after the version change. In the top eight top laners, he is basically at the bottom of the ranking with Mouse.

The bottom lane is RNG's advantage line. Even if the duo can't play Xialuo and the team assumes the ban position, Uzi's laning strength is still online.

Too bad it didn't work.

Because this is the incense burner version.

Some people always say that the incense burner has narrowed the gap between the two shooters. It seems that the ADC dominates the game, but it has little to do with the shooters.

This view is very one-sided.

To be precise, the overpowering of the incense burner system forces the support to play protective soft support, and the offensiveness of the line is reduced. In addition, the protection ability is too strong, which makes it difficult for the duo to open the situation by relying on the strength of the line.

What has narrowed is the gap between the lane strength of the ADCs of the two sides.

But at the same time, it magnifies the gap in the strength of shooters on the team battle end.

How to find a safe output position and do as much damage as possible, these two points have always been the basic skills of ADC team battles.

It's just that with the blessing of the incense burner system, the requirements for the shooter's team battle skills are even more stringent!

It is said that if the censer support is killed, the team's team battles cannot be played.

The shooter dies the same way!

In this version, there are mostly meat tanks. The sudden death of the ADC will not rely on the front row like Prince Shen to bring the incense burner to kill all the heroes of the opponent, right?

Therefore, the censer system weakens the group of shooters who are good at laning and pressing people, and allows the ADC who is already biased towards team battles to enjoy bonuses!

Unfortunately, Uzi was hit hard.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the laning strength he is proud of is the first in the world.

If you don't press 30 knives, you are equal to being pressed.

However, after the incense burner became popular, Uzi led Shi Senming to fight for a long time, but he couldn't lead the opponent by much to make up. The favorite card attack distance stealing skill was useless in front of the protective soft assistant!

The attack speed shooter steals twice in the early stage, but he still can't break a shield skill of Ruanfu!

Ruler's laning fault tolerance rate has been greatly increased, and Park Jae-hyuk, who was a bit hypocritical at first sight of the Uzi, has gained momentum, and he is flourishing in the bottom lane.

At the end of the team battle, Uzi sent it.

If Uzi's laning ability is 10 points, then the team fighting ability is about 7 points!

Just look at the collection made by black fans. Except for the laning explosion that was hit when facing Mr. Dai and Zhu Rang, Uzi’s sudden death is basically at the end of the team battle, appearing in an inexplicable position and then being driven to Return directly to spring water.

It can only be said that the habit of standing has not been very good.

"What are you doing, puppy?!"

The Doll's grief-stricken wailing echoed in the Guangzhou Gymnasium.

After Uzi's mouse started sneaking, Diudiu wanted to run to the side of Samsung to launch suction, and turned on R [full firepower] to put all the opponents into skewers.

As a result, he walked halfway and was spotted by SSG's real eyes.

Crown's attention was very focused. After seeing that Uzi's figure was slightly out of touch with the RNG formation, he immediately operated Malzaha's cross flash R [Grip of Hades] to suppress the mouse in place!

Grasshopper can be regarded as a relatively unpopular mid laner in the first half of the World Championship, with very few appearances.

However, Sheng has a considerable ability to clear the line in the mid-term, and there is also R to provide stable contributions to the team.

Edgar also recognizes the fact that the French core is not as good as the shooter in the later team battles. Considering that the crown's laning ability has declined seriously, the rock sparrow Ryze can't get the lane right and can't roam for support, so he simply plays for him. Grasshopper focuses on functionality.

At this moment, Crown, relying on the unexpected flash ult and its own passive [void travel] protective film, insisted on controlling Uzi for nearly a second, and then was interrupted by Xiangguo with control!

Uzi doesn't have the money to buy mercury laces, so he has no countermeasures if he is set by a grasshopper!

In 1 second, the well-trained Samsung threw all the control and damage skills on top of the mouse!

RNG can't keep it!

Samsung's team execution is terrifying!

"The puppy is messing with you!" I remember uttering a scream, and I could faintly hear a cry.

After Uzi's death, the team battle showed a one-sided trend.

RNG relying on Xiaohu's spell damage output point alone is not enough to defeat Samsung!

The royal family was defeated like a mountain!

After the group wiped out RNG, SSG didn't hesitate, and flattened the enemy's base in one wave!

3:2.

Samsung fought hard in five rounds to advance to the semi-finals!

"I can only say congratulations to Samsung..." Waowa smiled bitterly, "The skills are not as good as others, RNG is indeed not as good as the opponent in team battles today."

"In just two days, the two LPL teams were overthrown by the LCK team," remembering distressed, "the only one left is VG!"

There was silence.

This Samsung team is not well-known in China, and the number of fans is very limited. It is impossible to grab tickets for RNG supporters.

Now the audience is full of black and gold RNG banners. After experiencing the ecstasy of winning the first battle, everyone can only watch Samsung go to the top four stage in disappointment.

The members of SSG happily embraced each other.

Defeating the rival RNG is definitely something worth celebrating.

After all, as the third seed of the LCK, they will be considered a success if they reach the top four!

Wawa and Jiji looked at each other speechlessly, and in the end, in line with their duties, they took a breath and said slowly, "I hope VG can perform stably tomorrow... This is our last hope for the LPL division!"

Both of them could hear the passionate yelling from the LCK commentary booth next door, and they became even more depressed.

Jin Yibo, who had just walked into the training room and watched the final game with the VG players, lost his mind.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." he muttered, "How could RNG stop at the top eight?"

Jin Yibo has high hopes for the All-China class.

EDG lost to Dragon Ball, he had already been mentally prepared, and the gap in hard power was there.

But RNG also won the top eight, which made Jin Yibo unacceptable!

Gu Xing comforted, "The timing of meeting Samsung this time is not very good. If we meet in the group stage, RNG has a high probability of winning."

He is not talking nonsense.

In the group stage, the top laner environment has not changed, and it is still RNG's favorite top laner meat tank front row understanding.

If SSG is not fully prepared, it will not find the flaws of RNG's Xia Luo.

It is not difficult for the royal family to win the game.

But the two teams met in the knockout round. The version understanding at this time is undoubtedly greatly weakened for RNG!

Redmi echoed, "Xing Gu is right...Samsung has also evolved after entering the knockout round. They have a more organized style of play and have stepped on a path that suits them."

He has played against Samsung many times, and the opposite coach Edgar is also his teacher, and he has a lot of research on SSG's style of play.

At this time, it is natural to smell the changes in Samsung's style of play.

Gu Xing also saw the changes in SSG, and said thoughtfully, "Chuck, Samsung's vision control today is outrageous, it seems that in the mid-term, as long as they make up for the door, they will have two or three people, and the RNG will be blocked by the spectator position! "

Including the last wave of Uzi's attempt to use the mouse to shoot R around the side, but it was also detected by Samsung's real eyes, which ruined the decisive game.

Redmi has a look at the information sent by the E+ data team.

"225 real eyes, an average of 45 per game..." He raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw this.

SSG is a bunch of lunatics!

In a normal game, a team with an average investment of 20+ real eyes per game is considered a pass.

Samsung stunned doubled!

In the VG training room, Liangpi began to be sucked.

"It's really exaggerated," Jack murmured, "This group of people drowned RNG with their real eyes!"

Redmi signaled them to calm down and try to give the players blood, "Don't worry about RNG, just take care of yourself, we are the only team left in the entire competition area, everyone must be clear about tomorrow's game, there is absolutely no room for loss!"

Jin Yibo also came back to his senses.

"That's right!" He cast his earnest eyes on every VG player, "I'm looking forward to watching everyone's performance tomorrow. All the hopes of this World Championship in the LPL division rest on everyone!"

Gu Xing is well aware of the heavy burden on his shoulders, and the eyes of the whole competition area are focused on himself. He dare not slack off, and hastened to devote himself to training.

What he didn't know was that when VG was actively preparing for tomorrow's quarter-final matchup, the major e-sports forums in China had already ushered in an eruption of enthusiasm!

Weibo was a bit better. RNG’s apology blog post after being eliminated received 70,000 comments on the same day, including comfort and encouragement. Some netizens asked the team to point their sword at S8 and start researching the opponents of the next World Championship one year in advance.

The atmosphere is relatively peaceful.

Resist it is different.

The firepower is very fierce.

There is one thing to say, the strength of the backlash of public opinion attracted by this kind of forum mainly depends on how many monsters the fans of the team have done before.

Rationally speaking, there are not too many negative news about RNG now.

It's nothing more than a little over-the-top marketing of the all-China class, which caused some netizens to be disgusted, and an outrageous fan title incident.

It is still within the acceptable range in the traffic team.

It's better than blitzing Poland next door!

But even though RNG has not yet evolved into a contract team that owes wages to Lai Lai, it is still sprayed badly in the anti-bar.

Just because there is Uzi in the team.

[The world's number one Eddie? Fans, hurry up and take two steps]

[Uzi is a pure super soldier, the mouse drives Q and walks forward in front of other people's real eyes, right? 】

[I'm still thinking about Bangci Bang and Imp, when did they drag the team down because of the hero pool? 】

[Perfect Wuxia is like this, let you choose Xialuo? Really cowardly! 】

[That’s right, let’s see how someone from VG took out Xialuo and abused Samsung casually, isn’t your Uzi really awesome, you can’t even play such a simple hero as Xia? 】

[Let me tell you a joke, players who don't know how to play strong heroes in the version can boast that they are number one in the world! 】

In all fairness, Shi Senming also played so-so in this BO5, and was almost beaten by Corejj.

However, there is an experience book Uzi, and everyone is not interested in complaining about Xiaoming, and they are all complaining about Uzi.

Then the Uzi supporters go to spray on the middle.

The storytelling is probably that Hu Da Lao started to show up as soon as he arrived in the World Championship, and he was invisible in the audience to find him; Letme's strength was too bad, and he was hit by a matchup gap that was visible to the naked eye.

[Rangdi is the real dish, your brother's top eight will start with the top three top laner Kenan Jessner, you Letme only know half a nar, right? Xiaohu played with your B-breaking core, and the team's output accounted for only a little over 20%. Is this a stat that a human can play? 】

[Can you play Galio and Grasshopper? Let's see how the crown plays! 】

[Little Tiger will Galio? I think it's all Letme playing, not to mention the grasshopper, last year the grasshopper used R to open the big Olaf in the World Championship, but it was a dark scene]

[If Uzi hadn't blocked the fire for you two, someone would have arranged to retire today! 】

As for the incense pot, this quarter-final match is considered a real effort.

RNG won two small rounds in total, and the MVPs were all Liu Shiyu's.

He was on a hunger strike and squeezed blood on an empty stomach, and he had already shown his peak state!

If it weren't for the incense pot, there is a high probability that the two sides will not be able to reach the decisive game!

Netizens could tell who was the most popular in the team, and they went to Liu Shiyu's Weibo to wipe their tears.

Some people told him to run quickly during the transfer period, and if he couldn't bring his teammates, he would go to another team, so as not to delay his peak period.

It was rare for Gu Xing not to pay attention to public opinion. After training, he had a good sleep, and when he woke up again, the sun was already rising.

After washing up, he was refreshed, put on his team uniform, put his bag on his back, and opened the door, ready to welcome his first BO5 in this World Championship.
