Alliance: At IG, I have the final say

At seven o'clock in the evening on October 23rd, it had been more than three hours since the end of the match between rng and g2, but the atmosphere in the venue was still hot.

Because what is about to start is also a focus battle-skt vs. edg.

Both used to be the strong teams of lck and lpl respectively, and they played against each other a lot, which can be regarded as a feud.

Now that they meet in the quarterfinals, will edg break the curse of the quarterfinals, or will skt maintain their strong position in the world championships.

"Good viewers, I'm going to bring you the last match of the 2018 Global Finals quarter-finals, against the third seed edg from lpl and the third seed skt from lck! In the match between rng and g2 that ended earlier, rng adjusted its tactics and mentality in time after losing one game first, and won three consecutive cities, becoming the second lpl team to advance to the top four! Their next round The opponent will be born in the two teams of edg and skt."

On the commentary seat, the doll spoke solemnly.

This is the least optimistic match among the three LPL teams. Facing the strong enemy skt, it can be said that except for ig, no one is without shadow.

EDG has relatively good results. It once defeated SKT in the BO5 of MSI, but in the World Championship of the same year, SKT regained its face, which was also very empty.

Today's game is what the audience is most worried about and what they are most worried about.

Especially after the BO5 in which rng almost overturned in the middle lane, everyone's confidence in the lpl teams other than ig was greatly reduced.

Even g2 can lose a round, so what about skt?
EDG is still not as good as RNG's No. [-] seed!

"If edg can win against skt today, all three of our lpl teams will enter the semi-finals! Three lpl will surround kt! Moreover, if ig beats kt again at that time, we will be able to complete the reunion in Incheon! One game lpl's civil war!"

Miller on the side spoke excitedly.

He still wants to look for the best.

As long as edg can eliminate skt, ig will have a high probability of eliminating kt in the semi-finals. At that time, the lower half will be able to guarantee a spot for the finals, and the upper half will have an ig in charge.

The civil war in Incheon was not a dream.

"The civil war in Incheon is still difficult. It mainly depends on whether edg can win skt today, and whether ig can win kt."

The baby's face was a little exciting when he heard this, it was because there were too many prerequisites.

Today's match between edg and skt is also not optimistic.

But just as he finished speaking, Sister Zhou, who had rarely spoken out, suddenly said, "What did Colonel Guan say?"

Her words immediately aroused heated discussions.

[Hahaha, good guy, sister Zhou is a letter management student! 】

[I heard that Colonel Guan's prediction is that SKT is three to one EDG, and there is even a certain possibility of three to zero. 】

[That's okay, edg three to zero skt okay! 】

[It may also be three to one skt, I still believe the words of the senior colonel. 】

[Didn't it say at noon that rng three to zero g2?As a result, he lost the first game and was almost stunned by g2. 】

The audience began to make fun of Colonel Guan.

It is really that Colonel Guan's prediction is too "accurate".

The course of things often develops in the opposite direction, if not in the opposite direction, there will be deviations.

At this time, the rng and ig people were sitting in the spectator seats, staring intently at the BP screen that had just appeared, even paying as much attention to it as EDG itself.

"Chen Yu, do you really think edg can beat skt?"

Uzi said with some uncertainty.

During their match against g2 at noon, Chen Yu came to their lounge and expressed his opinion that edg had a better chance of winning, which awakened their fighting spirit. …

Thinking about it now, Uzi thinks that Chen Yu said that on purpose to provoke them.

"EDG has a big move."

Chen Yu said softly.

"Even if there is a big move, skt may not have no big moves. What if the preparations for the face-to-face are sufficient? And one big move can't win three games, right? skt suffered a loss once, and it's okay to get rid of your big move gone?"

Uzi frowned.

The factory manager gave up the opportunity to appear in the finals in the Asian Games and kept his big move, just to help the team break through the curse of the quarterfinals.

Uzi understood that tactic, they kept their promise with the factory manager and did not use it, but it is not difficult to understand that tactic to win a victory for EDG.

But skt is a top team after all, how could they release an unsolvable big move so many times?

"If you can win two rounds first and then magnify the move, edg can win. If you use the big move too early, edg will be suspended."

Chen Yu pondered for a moment and made a judgment.

If he were to be EDG's coach, he would definitely save his big move in the deciding game, or the game on the edge of the cliff.

But if it is used too early, there will be no surprise effect.

"Look at bp. I think edg should be more than that big move. Their coach is Abramovich."

Uzi spoke softly.

In his opinion, Abramovich is already the best domestic coach, and he really has something.

After negotiating with Chen Yu for so long during the Asian Games, he would definitely bring some private goods.

Therefore, Uzi believes that EDG's tactical system will definitely not be as monotonous as before.

And at this moment, the bp of the first round had already started.

SKT, which has the same head coach as the Asian Games, did not dare to neglect. In the first round, they directly eliminated the two heroes, Morgana and the widow, the factory manager.

One was to kill Xiao Peanut in the Asian Games, and the other was to win the first place in the group from kt in the group stage.

Two unique skills, even skt has no suitable countermeasures.

But in this way, a lot of strong heroes in the version have been released.

edg successfully got the top lane wine barrel, the wild boar girl, the middle single sword girl, and the combination of Kalista and gem in the bottom lane.

On the other hand, on skt, the top laner Qing Gangying, the jungler Prince, the mid laner Galio, and the combination of bottom laner Kai'Sa and Titan are not bad, but compared to edg, it is still a bit bad.

skt's lineup is a single-core lineup with a line, while edg is a three-core lineup.

The output equipment of the top single wine barrel is enough to make up for the missing AP damage.

As for skt's Galio, Teacher Dafei always likes to play meat, and this round he also had to play meat, because if he did, he would be in danger of being solo killed by Daomei online.

Galio is often very weak when facing physical output heroes.

"Can win! This lineup can really win!"

Seeing the lineups for the first round of the two sides released, Uzi's face showed excitement.

The wine barrel on the road is a panacea, as long as you don't want to kill yourself, nothing will happen. Fighting the wild boar girl is also the factory director's signature, and the rhythm will never be bad.

In the middle lane, Daomei has an advantage against Galio, with fast line push and strong combat effectiveness.

The most important thing is the bot lane. SKT's Kai'Sa is the most reliable core, but they are facing the exaggerated bot lane combination of Kalista and Gem.

It can be said that if you don't get killed by the line, you have already succeeded in the line.

Looking at it as a whole, skt has no advantage across the board, so how can it compete with edg's three-core lineup? …

"I think so too."

Chen Yu smiled slightly, agreeing with Uzi's point of view.

And the result did not disappoint them.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, edg made an old mistake. After gaining a considerable advantage online, he chose to snowball operations. Instead, he was led by the nose by skt and was almost overturned.

However, the lineup is still more solid after all. In key team battles, using the strong opening system of pig girls and gems, they successfully ended the game in one wave, and the game time was fixed at 32 minutes.

It's late in the game.

"Nice! EDG's first game was in good shape. After 32 minutes of fierce fighting, they finally managed to beat SKT and took the top spot!"

In the commentary seat, the baby looked excited. He never thought that edg would win against skt at the beginning.

You know, this is a very unexpected performance.

According to their prediction, edg will often be passive in the first game, then struggle to survive, and finally lose the game desperately because skt is better at operations than them.

Even if there are any amazing adjustments in the mid-term, at most one game can be recovered.

But now, edg was the one who won the first game.

"I feel like skt is a bit underestimating the enemy. It is not too easy to put this lineup to edg. This is the lineup that edg likes the most."

Miller on the side shook his head and laughed.

"The main reason is that edg's current command has become much more aggressive! In fact, edg can often gain an advantage in the early stage, but it is not easy to let go when snowballing. In this game, the early advantage was very large, and skt failed in the end. flip over."

The doll explained.

"No kidding, the factory manager put a lot of pressure on SKT on BP. It's rare to have two junglers in the first round, especially for a team like SKT! Widow with one hand and Morgana with the other, but It is very difficult to solve, and it is the unique skill of the factory manager.”

Miller did not forget to praise the factory director.

But the fact is exactly like this, because the two heroes of the factory manager can't handle it, especially in the recent exaggerated performance, which led to skt having to give the two seats in the first round to Widow and Morgana, On the contrary, it made edg's bp a lot easier.

"These are not the most important. I think the most important thing is that although EDG has an advantage in the early stage, the economic gap has never reached 25. In [-] minutes, the economic lead was almost [-], and EDG sent a wave , and sent it back again. Therefore, if the economy is less than [-], it is still difficult for edg to be overturned."

Sister Zhou couldn't help laughing and teasing.

Seeing edg win the first game, everyone relaxed a lot, and even sister Zhou couldn't help but speak.

Of course, as the atmosphere, sister Zhou's opening made the discussion in the live broadcast room more heated.

[Hahaha, what a joke, how could my edg lose without triggering the buff that would make a [-] economic advantage be overturned? 】

[Yeah, it's not like our EDG has never won against SKT, what's the fuss about? 】

[There is no Luohe clockwork, and there is no economic difference of [-], why should my edg be flipped? 】

The live broadcast room was full of jokes about the [-] economy.

Even Chen Yu, who was in the spectator seats, smiled and said, "How to put it, let me say that edg won more easily than you guys."

Uzi beside him looked a little embarrassed.

Even they didn't expect that edg could beat skt without using the ultimate move. …

Although most of the first game is a test, but one win is the bottom line, which has a great effect on the mentality.

Just like at noon, they lost to g2 in the first game, and the mentality of the whole team collapsed after the game.

If it wasn't for Chen Yu to show up and use aggressive methods to rekindle their fighting spirit, they might really be overturned.

However, at this time, Uzi was still unwilling to admit defeat easily, and responded in a low voice: "This is only the first round, and skt will definitely make adjustments. It will be difficult to play behind edg."

"Didn't it mean that edg still has a big move? It must guarantee five rounds!"

Xiao Ming leaned over to speak, but was glared back by Uzi.

Chen Yu smiled and said nothing, waiting for the start of the second game.

However, the result of the second game was not beyond Chen Yu's expectations. skt fought fiercely, chose a system they were very good at, and beat edg to death through operation.

At the end of the game, edg only got one head.

Of course, skt didn't have many kills, just five.

It is conceivable that edg did not find a chance to fight, and was completely led by the nose by skt.

The big score was tied at one to one, and the two sides came to the same starting line again.

[It feels like there is still an obvious gap. This round of EDG didn't make any waves at all. 】

[This can't be helped, the game was ripped off at the beginning, although BP didn't fall behind too much, but it was numb by SKT's operation!To be honest, edg still don't want to play operations with lck's team.Didn't kt also rely on fighting to win in the group stage? 】

[Be fierce!Operation is not our lpl style, let's see how other people's ig is playing?Your operations are no worse than skt's. 】

Seeing the loss in the second round, edg fans were disappointed, and the hope of winning skt [-]-[-] in one go was gone.

Let SKT pull back a round and gain a firm foothold, and they can only fight for strength with real swords and guns.

However, EDG cheered a lot in the arena. Although it was at LCK's home court, LPL still had a lot of fans.

Especially when they saw that edg was no longer easily [-]-[-] as in previous years, but went first to establish an advantage, everyone's confidence has been greatly increased.

In the third game, edg was not affected by the loss in the second game, and made a very beautiful bp.

They took the initiative to release the Xialuo combination to skt, and took the initiative to grab the sword demon on the first floor of the blue square.

After SKT had to choose Xia Luo on the first and second floors, EDG chose Kai'Sa and Nightmare as the two front-running heroes on the second and third floors.

Sure enough, an aggressive strategy was adopted.

In addition, the middle lane chose the unique skill Zuo Yin, and made up a female tank in the support position.

It's clear that I don't want to give skt a chance to operate.

After entering the game, edg took the lead in making efforts in the bottom lane, using the advantages of the female tank to control Luo, successfully cracked the almost unsolvable laning combination of Xialuo in the bottom lane.

Immediately afterwards, the Nightmare Level [-] began to take the rhythm.

Whenever the succubi's ultimate move cools down, the factory director will forcefully start a melee, as if he has completely changed himself.

And EDG's Zuo Yin Kasha is a top melee master.

After coming down again and again, the advantage was established.

In addition, although the development of Sword Demon on the top lane was a little stunted by skt Ueno, no one dared to ignore him in team battles.

This is the scary thing about version heroes.

In the end, at 25 minutes of the game time, edg successfully won the key battle of Tianwang Mountain and won the match point through tireless rushing. …

"Nice! This round of edg played so well, it should have been like this a long time ago! lck can't fight, as long as we start a team fight, we will win!"

In the commentary seat, Wawa was very excited. He saw edg win the match point over skt.

This sense of satisfaction has never been seen since MSI 15 years ago.

At the same time, in the spectator seats, Chen Yu also nodded with satisfaction: "Basically there is no problem."

Then he looked at Uzi: "Three to one, what do you say? They play 2 to [-] against SKT, and you play [-] to [-] against G[-], who has the better chance of winning?"

"It's only two to one!"

Uzi retorted stiffly.

Although he knew, EDG still didn't use that big move until now.

Although the gameplay of the female tank Luo is a small innovation, it is not a secret, and everyone knows it.

The reason why this round was won was because edg chose a more proactive lineup and gave full play to the initiative of the lineup.

From the operation of Dream Demon turning off the light and receiving the female tank's big move to start the group, Dream Demon turning off the light and then Zuo Yinfeixing's second person, etc., it can be seen that EDG has already mastered this lineup.

Of course, EDG will not be so arrogant that it really hides a big move from SKT.

In the critical fourth game, facing SKT's Jedi counterattack, EDG sacrificed their glorious tradition-big tree!
However, this big tree is no longer the top laner in everyone's impression, but has come into the hands of the factory manager and has become a jungler.

[Fuck, a big ancestral tree? 】

【In this case, you are still short of winning SKT. Is it really appropriate for you to come out with a big tree? 】

[What the hell is a big tree jungler?Big trees can still play wild these days?This is too weak! 】

[This can't be caused by Brother Li and Xiao Hei's anti-wildness to explode?The factory manager won't make old mistakes again, will he?Don't dare to play in key rounds? 】

Just when everyone questioned whether the current big tree jungler would be too weak, the factory manager vividly taught everyone a lesson: Don't bully the old and the poor!
In the hands of the factory manager, the sons of the trees became skt's succubus, and the business plan they were proud of lost their meaning.

The function of the son of the tree to explore the field of vision makes all the little thoughts of skt smashed.

Although SKT did gain some advantages in the early stage, but after Dashu, the factory manager, started to form a group with his teammates, everyone was shocked to find that the SKT jungle area of ​​the dominant side was actually being invaded by the EDG of the inferior side.

Any ambush will be detected in advance by edg using the tree son, and then easily cracked.

A little advantage is not enough for skt to carry Dashu's group control big move and edg to take over the group.

The few advantages are being eroded a little bit.

Especially when fighting for dragons, edg can always use vision suppression to occupy a better position, so that under the cover of the big tree's big move, he can easily take down the dragons and retreat.

In the end, edg passed the ancient dragon soul decisive victory in 10 minutes, eliminated skt [-] to [-], and joined rng in the semifinals!
Since then, the semi-finals of this World Championship have taken shape.

The three lpl teams all made it to the semi-finals, creating the best results ever.

Especially edg, successfully broke through the inner demons, defeated the old enemy skt, and broke the curse of the top eight.
