Chapter 447 My Life Is Not Mine!
FNC showed the Minotaur on the fourth floor.
After a brief exchange with the support player Hylissang, the coach locked it in the last few seconds of the countdown.
The lineup lacked teamfighting and front-line tanks.
In this early version that emphasizes collision, it is obviously inappropriate to let the jungler pick herbivorous meaty jungles such as Sejuani and Gragas as in S7.
Therefore, the best support choice left on the field is Minotaur.
Of course, Thresh is also very good.
But Hylissang is slightly lacking in proficiency in Thresh, while EDG support Meiko debuted with Thresh's specialty.
Playing Thresh in front of the field, I'm afraid you will be eaten to death.
"Can we take Thresh?"
After seeing FNC lock the Minotaur, the factory manager asked Meiko.
In the first game of the semi-finals, it is important to make the players feel comfortable.
In the first three floors, EDG has already got Lissandra, Xin Zhao, and Tristana, and the lineup has taken shape. In addition, the jungle, mid, and bottom can adapt to many auxiliary and top-lane heroes.
In terms of hero selection, EDG is much wider than FNC at present.
"Uh, uh."
"No more Thresh."
"Give me a Titan."
Meikou made a decision after thinking for a while.
The factory manager asked him if he wanted to play Thresh. The purpose was obvious. This was entirely because Thresh's E skill [Doom Pendulum] could interrupt the WQ combo of Minotaur.
However, the ADC on the opposite side was Twisted Fate.
There is an E skill.
Whether it is laning or teamfighting, Thresh's most useful hook is difficult to play out.
Sima Laozei played Tristana, and it was impossible to fully play out its fierce characteristics in laning with Thresh, so after some consideration, Meikou chose Titan.
Even though Titan's Q is also a hook, this hero is very strong in the early small collisions. In addition, Tristana's "W skill" is similar to the mechanism of the King of Glory, so there is no need to worry about Minotaur.
The development time required by Annie is very long, and both sides can just fight each other in the early stage.
In the mid-term, Sima Laozei's role must be stronger than the opponent!
"Let's have a more explosive top laner. Anyway, it's probably our side that will start the team fight."
Spicy Pot said: "My ultimate skill is quite restraining to the opponent."
After Zhao Xin's ultimate skill was changed from [Crescent Sweep] to [Crescent Guardian], his appearance rate rose sharply.
Xin Ye can now attack and defend, and is no longer the wretched uncle who has to focus on the chrysanthemum.
Due to the blocking mechanism of the skill, it can lay a large amount of poke skills and output for the team. Therefore, even if there is only one Titan, EDG's lineup does not lack "front row" in the team.
"Playing hard?"
Jiang Zhun smiled and said, "Fizz?"
Although she knew it was most likely a joke, Meikou still showed Fizz at the first opportunity.
"Fizz on the top lane against Viktor!" Guan Zeyuan shouted loudly after seeing the quirky blue Tangyu: "This hero hasn't appeared on the top lane for a long time."
"In the usual ranks, Fizz is always used to counter Viktor, a long-handed mage."
"Everyone knows Nexus' hero pool, and it feels like he is very likely to choose Fizz on the top lane to fight Viktor."
"After all, if there is only one Lissandra, the team still lacks some output."
"Fizz can completely AP first and then turn into a tank. Half-tank Fizz is awesome."
"It shouldn't be." Seeing the guy next to him so excited, Wang Duoduo didn't want to pour cold water on him directly.
Although Wang Duoduo's understanding of the game is not very good.
But after all, he has been a commentator for so long and has been commenting on the game, so he is more familiar with the version.
When Fizz plays Viktor in the early stage, he must hide in the lane, and this is the top lane!
Not the middle lane.
Viktor can pull more easily with the advantage of long arms.
In this way, as long as FNC chooses a strong jungler on the 5th floor, Jiang Zhun may be over the tower in the early stage.
However, after seeing Zhao Xin, Wang Duoduo thought to himself: "Fizz is not impossible. In this way, EDG's top and jungle will definitely be connected in the early stage, and the bottom lane will not be able to fight."
However, in the last three seconds of the countdown, Fizz was replaced by Ekko and locked immediately!
"EDG first confused and then changed the hero immediately, not wanting to give FNC more time to think." Rita said.
—— [Time is not about how much you have, but how you use it]
The slightly philosophical words of the black-skinned boy in Zaun were transmitted to Jiang Zhun's ears through the headphones.
The top lane Viktor was the first one he used in the group stage.
So, Jiang Zhun naturally knew how to deal with this hero.
Viktor is most afraid of burst.
The top lane Viktor is usually played by countering meat tanks or some less flexible warrior heroes.
This is because of the equipment Ice Fist.
If the opponent is a mage or a mage tank, Viktor can only go for pure AP output!
In the current version of opgg's data statistics, Ekko's single-line kills and deaths against Viktor accounted for 67.18%, and the overall win rate was 4.5 percentage points higher than Viktor, reaching 52.25%.
Even though most of these data come from the confrontation in the middle lane.
But it also indicates that in single-line confrontation, Ekko's ability to kill Viktor alone is very strong, and with the special mechanism of the R skill, Viktor can hardly pose a threat to it.
The most important thing is that the middle line is short, and it will be difficult for Ekko to kill Viktor alone.
In the top lane, rely on the Q skill to clear the line in the early stage, and you can find the opportunity after you get the equipment.
In addition, there is the hungry wolf Mala Xiangguo who is always watching.
Jiang Zhun chooses Ekko, and he can play very comfortably on the line!
"FNC chose the excavator jungler on the fifth floor."
"Not common!"
"Could this be one of their trump cards?"
Both lineups:
EDG (blue side)
[Top Ekko, jungle Xin Zhao, mid Lissandra, bottom Cannon + Titan]
FNC (red side)
[Top Viktor, jungle excavator, mid Leblanc, bottom Annie + Minotaur]
"Hae Chengmin, be careful!"
"The opponent's double Ji combination has high damage. Be careful when laning and keep good vision."
The factory manager always thought that FNC was in the jungle position, and the only heroes they could choose were heroes like Lee Sin. I didn't expect the opponent to take out the excavator at the end!
This hero rarely appeared in the competition after S6.
As a veteran who used to drive the excavator, the factory manager quickly reminded Hai Chengmin: "This version of Rek'Sai has high damage!"
"What should Broxah do is output equipment, rune attack?"
To be honest, since becoming a coach, the factory manager has reduced the frequency of playing games himself a lot. He will only play a few games when he is free and has nothing to do.
At the beginning of the season, the rune of the excavator usually chooses [Electric Punishment] for burst.
However, since [Electric Punishment] was weakened in the later versions, the burst was slightly reduced, and the strong attack became the best choice.
After all, this rune is quite compatible with the Q skill of the excavator.
The factory manager wanted to nag a few more words, but after the players exchanged heroes, the countdown on the selection interface came to 20 seconds.
He had to take off his headphones and leave towards the center of the stage.
"Come on EDG!"
"Come on!"
At the scene, watching the final lineup being determined and the coaches of both sides were fist bumping, the fans of Guodian couldn't hold back their excitement and started shouting.
In the interval when the frequency of cheering was low, the voice of cheering for FNC, the European sword, also sounded.
Compared with EDG, it was not much weaker.
With the small number of fans present, the boldness and passion of Europeans was a factor, and the most important thing was that the FNC team was the hope of Europe.
Many G2 fans did not leave Busan immediately after IG defeated their home team, but stayed to cheer for FNC!
To be honest, this is the year that Europe has the best chance of winning the League of Legends World Championship since S1.
"If they can beat EDG, FNC will definitely be able to stabilize the championship of this World Championship."
"Then, FNC's dynasty will be revived."
"FNC will become the only club with two S-League championship trophies."
The English-language host was passionate.
Obviously, in his mind, 3>2 does not belong to 2, and the SKT club was automatically eliminated.
The cheers and cheers on the field did not stop, but the screen had entered the game screen.
After going to Sanhe to arrange the vision, Mala Xiangguo joined his teammates and went to the bottom lane to group up to carry out a small invasion.
Although there is no Braum, the 6 controls of the level 1 Titan, plus the keystone runes of Titan and Ice Girl both chose [Aftershock], EDG's level 1 group combat power is quite strong.
After all, the new rune version has been out for almost a year. Riot has made several changes to the slightly over-standard cornerstone runes such as [Conqueror], [Electrocution], [Fatal Rhythm], and [Kleptomancy] to make their attributes slightly more balanced.
Although [Aftershock] was also weakened in the spring season, the magnitude was not particularly large, and after that change, Riot seemed to have forgotten the existence of this rune.
This makes the dual resistance attribute provided by [Aftershock] very excellent when most time runes have been weakened.
In addition, it has both resistance and damage, which is still quite popular in the current version.
The two most used positions are the top unit or the auxiliary position.
Just as the factory manager, in order to improve Hai Chengmin's ability to withstand pressure in the early stage, started with the small details of each game and told him how to carry the cornerstone rune "If there is control, take Aftershock, if there is no control, choose Indestructible".
This is because in the early stage, the cost-effectiveness of "producing meat" is much higher than that of output.
The benefits provided by the cornerstone rune can be completely exchanged for equipment attributes.
"Ou Cheng was very lucky, he was just a little bit away from being hooked by Titan."
Guan Zeyuan gritted his teeth and said, "If it wasn't for the blue buff wall protruding a little bit, then Annie would have died this time!"
"Titan hooked and followed up with a basic attack, Lissandra flashed over and used W to control."
"Ou Cheng couldn't move for at least three seconds."
"Lissandra is a tool person anyway, so there is no disadvantage in learning the W skill. After all, if Leblanc learns W, Hai Chengmin can just use W to trigger aftershocks to exchange blood."
[Aftershock? Yu Shuang! ]
[Why does Guan Zeyuan want Ou Cheng to die. ]
The comments also started to tease.
Although EDG's first-level group fight did not yield any kills, FNC's bottom lane duo was forced to retreat, and the troops just came online, so Caps and Ahri could not provide support.
Spicy hotpot successfully started the other side's blue!
If handled well, Zhao Xin could have taken three jungle areas in the early stage.
"Because of the group fight, Nexus came online a little slower."
"Maybe we have to lose three minions' experience"
"Oh no!"
"Ekko learned the E skill at level 1 and entered the experience zone before the three melee minions died."
"This is not a small loss!"
Originally, if Ekko learned the Q skill at level 1, he would have easily taken the economy of the three melee minions.
The gold provided by melee minions is much higher than that of ranged minions.
In this way, Jiang Zhun could have survived level 1 perfectly with a small loss.
As long as he waited until level 2, Ekko would have the ability to quickly hit three rings, and the laning phase would become quite comfortable.
If Viktor dares to cross the line to suppress, it is very easy to lose more than gain, resulting in a loss of his own state.
"Both top laners chose to go out with the Corruption Potion."
"Besides, the excavator was forced to start in the jungle, and Ekko started with a small disadvantage in the early stage, which is not a bad thing!"
Wang Duoduo is quite optimistic.
Part of the reason is that he believes in the ID Nexus.
Another reason is that Ekko will definitely not exchange blood in the early stage because he learns E at level 1, so his state will definitely be very good.
After the excavator cleared his upper half of the jungle, he couldn't force a gank!
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
At the scene, in the area reserved by Riot in advance, the IG team that had advanced to the finals sat there to watch the game.
Seeing Viktor steadily farming in the top lane without consuming Ekko, Jiang Chenglu felt as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he was quite uncomfortable.
"Haha!" Ning Wang put his big hands on Jiang Chenglu's shoulders and shook them vigorously, saying, "Are you addicted? I want to go up and have a fight."
"This Victor is really too cowardly."
"Our jungler is in the upper half, why don't you dare to push the line to consume?"
Jiang Chenglu nodded vigorously and said seriously, "If we don't push now, it will be difficult to play later."
"Brother Jun will feel comfortable."
"This is the laning ability of Europe." Yu Wenbo also commented: "They often choose heroes correctly, but they play strangely."
"Alas!"
"In the final, Ken We must play against EDG."
"I just don't understand why we have been so unlucky this year?"
Yu Wenbo's head drooped, sighing: "First, in the spring season, EDG cut off the possibility of winning all the regular season games."
"Then in the spring season playoffs, we lost a game to RNG."
"In the summer season playoffs, we finally faced RNG again and had a chance to get revenge."
"But I didn't expect that we would lose 2-3 in the BO5."
"Now we are advancing all the way to the finals, we won't be one game short again."
Yu Wenbo had a premonition that destiny was not in his hands.
