archer ferocity

Chapter 470 See you in the final?
10/0.

The Thorn Birds delivered a near-perfect answer in the MSI group stage.

Such an answer sheet undoubtedly satisfied the fans and even the domestic media very much.

In the group stage, SKT had two battles against Thornbirds, but failed to score even one victory. This made the fans in the LCK division extremely disappointed.

Especially the clid was sprayed into the sky.

"The blind monk was banned and retired on the spot", "Hero Bowl", "Spoon-shaped jungler" and a series of criticisms were all smeared on Clid's face.

But clid couldn't refute it.

He admitted that as a veteran jungler, his hero pool is indeed a little shallow.

Before this, clid has always followed the principle of "enough is enough".

Because he never thought that his opponent might spend a lot of bans to target himself who is not the core of the team.

But when facing the Thorn Bird, the Thorn Bird focused on him, and instead ignored many heroes who were regarded as thorns in the eyes of other teams.

This is the confidence that only a team with strong strength possesses.

It is also a problem that the SKT team must solve.

But the headache for Kkoma is far more than that.

Faker's performance in this MSI was not satisfactory.

Although the data on the surface is not bad, there are two mid laners who can pose a relatively direct threat to faker.

One is G2's mid laner caps.

The other one is Xiye.

Don't forget, there are only four mid laners in the top four.

In other words, faker can only rank third, and this third is not stable yet.

Like Jian Huang, the mid laner of the TL team, he has a different style from other mid laners, and Jian Huang is also a person with a terrifyingly deep hero pool.

In contrast, the problem of the worst clid that was sprayed is not that big. After all, clid can be steadily suppressed when facing junglers from other teams, that is, it can't beat the hot pot of Thorn Bird.

In addition, Khan was targeted too badly by the Thorn Birds. When they wanted to target Holy Gun in turn, Holy Gun told SKT with his greasy style of play that it was impossible to target him. Can you Press him, but don't try to use him as a breakthrough.

Bottom duo...

Can't beat it either.

How do you play this Xibaer?
Just when Kkoma was distressed, the grouping of the knockout round also came.

According to the rules, the team with the highest points in the group has the privilege of choosing an opponent.

In other words, the Thorn Birds will independently decide who their next opponent will be.

What's interesting is that before the grouping, the G2 team also had a very "friendly" interaction with Thorn Bird on Twitter.

During this interaction, G2 did not forget to step on SKT. Ah P directly stated that as long as Thorn Bird does not choose them, then they will kill SKT in the knockout round.

And when the remarks of the G2 team were passed on to South Korea, it naturally made Korean netizens very angry.

But they had no way to refute before the two teams met again. After all, judging from the data of the group stage, the two sides only drew 1-1.

E-sports, results speak.

Judging from the current results, it seems that they really are not 2% sure that they can beat G[-].

Domestic netizens expressed the hope that Thorn Bird can directly choose SKT and send the Korean team home first.

However, in the end, domestic netizens were still disappointed.

Thorn Bird made an unexpected but reasonable choice.

TL.

Thorn Bird chose this North American light.

When Li Luo, as the captain, stood on the stage and stated his choice, the SKT representative player wolf who walked up with him was obviously relieved.

Wolf didn't know why, he was a bit timid when he faced Li Luo, who had experienced hundreds of battles and had a lot of experience in competitions.

It's a bad feeling.

Wolf also knew that he shouldn't be like this, he tried hard to adjust himself, trying to forget this mentality.

However, the facts proved that his adjustment was futile.

This kind of timidity seems to have been hidden deep in his soul, and a seed that has taken root and germinated has been embedded in the wolf king's mind.

It wasn't just Wolf who was relieved.

At the same time there is Kkoma.

After a lot of hard research, KKoma has gradually found a way to deal with the Thorn Bird.

But... he needs time.

The tactics of League of Legends need to be trained and practiced before they can be put into use.

Kkoma had to admit that they didn't want to meet the Thorn Bird right now.

In fact, according to Kkoma's idea, their favorite script is that the Thorn Bird first chooses the most jumping G2, so that the TL team is their best whetstone.

However, it backfired.

……

Soon, the knockout round kicked off.

On the eve of the knockout round, the officials invited players from four teams to make a simple promotional video.

The content of the promotional video is also quite concise, a bit similar to the trash talk session.

The knockout match was held in Taipei, so the filming session was also held in Taipei. Li Luo participated briefly on behalf of the team, and then unexpectedly discovered that the Koreans' mouths... are really hard.

Li Luo originally thought that the SKT team, which lost to them twice in the group stage and was frustrated by G2, should restrain themselves.

However, faker still stated in the session that they will avenge Thorn Bird in the final, and that attitude seems to have great confidence.

Li Luo couldn't be so confident.

In Li Luo's impression, faker has always been like this.

Whether it's the peak or the trough, he is like the leader of the team, and he is full of confidence every time he faces the media.

And even if he was slapped in the face afterwards, few people would criticize him.

After all, as long as there are enough moments of glory, this little slap in the face can easily be covered up.

But Li Luo couldn't figure out whether Faker had thought of a way to deal with them or just wanted to show the team's confidence in front of the media.

Li Luo is not in a hurry, time will tell.

They still have a lot of tactics in reserve.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover it.

The game between Thorn Bird and TL kicked off quickly.

When the Thornbirds walked onto the stage and were about to start the pre-match BP, Xiangguo glanced at the bottom of the stage and suddenly laughed, "When did the TL team have so many fans? I almost thought it was the home court of the United States. "

Li Luo also raised his eyelids.

The team logo of the TL team is quite eye-catching.

As far as the eye can see, at least two-thirds of the flags belong to the TL team.

When the players from both sides took the stage one after another, Li Luo was the only one on the Thorn Bird team who cheered loudly.

The rest of Thorn Bird, including the veteran jungler Xiang Guo, received very little applause and cheers.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the field was very enthusiastic when every player of the TL team waved their hands on stage.

"I have only one way to deal with this situation, and that is to fight hard and use my strength to shut them up."

Liu Qingsong put on a cold face.

He's not the type of player who likes to cheer.

What he loves is tearing the wounds of opposing fans.

丶

Zhu Kai didn't say a lot in bp this time.

TL has not made personnel adjustments for a long time.

They had this configuration last year, and it's still the same this year. As early as the end of the group stage, Li Luo had already brought up some precautions when playing against the TL team.

On the surface, the real core of TL's team is the master adc.

But in fact, TL is actually a very balanced team.

Impact for the top laner, Xmithie for the jungler, and Jian Huang for the mid laner.

The core trident has rich combat experience.

Moreover, the TL team's tactics are relatively simple, and this season they like to use a pure late-stage big-core lineup. Except for the top laner Impact who occasionally turns into a sharp knife, everyone else is very stable.

Therefore, Thorn Bird's bp will not use targeted tactics and routines like when colliding with strong Korean or European teams.

To play TL, you can play purely with hard power.

The first game between the two sides kicked off soon.

The lineup selected by the Thorn Birds team is Kenan in the top lane, blind monk in the jungle, and trick witch in the mid lane, with a very straightforward tower pushing system of policewoman and Titan.

Liu Qingsong chose Titan as the core support for the policewoman when Thresh was banned. This is actually not a particularly good choice, but the TL team has banned too many supports. In order to increase the team's overall Liu Qingsong had no choice but to settle for the next best thing because of his team-starting ability.

In contrast, the TL team premeditatedly pressed Silas, and at the same time grabbed the bull's head.

However, although such a choice is good, it is inevitable that the TL team will go to jail. The senior brother is also a pure adc fan, so after hesitating for a long time, the senior brother finally chooses the hero to deal with the policewoman. Sivir with relatively strong line ability.

The mid laner Jianhuang chose Ryze, and the jungler xmithie chose the excavator.

The impact on the road decided to become a variable for the entire team, and Akali was finally finalized.

However, this first game showed a gap in the laning ability of the two sides from the beginning.

Although impact has won the S3 World Finals, and has been very stable since coming to North America.

But his age is there after all.

Although Impact's laning thinking is very sophisticated, what he faced was the young Holy Gun.

As a player who played professionally three years earlier than Li Luo, but one year younger than Li Luo, Brother Holy Gun was at the level of his year.

In the LPL competition alone, Holy Gun can be traced back to January 15 at the earliest.

In contrast, Brother Holy Gun is much younger than Impact.

Youth is capital.

Relying on the advantage of Kenan's long hands, Saint Gun can easily gain the advantage in the laning phase.

The idea of ​​Xiangguo is very clear. Although Jian Huang has rich experience, he can't stand up to the completely unreasonable attack of these two people.

It's not that the excavator has never come and squatted before, but whether it is the blind monk or the enchantress, these two heroes are too flexible.

When the Thorn Bird's Nakano two-player lane suppressed, Li Luo's suppressing power in the bottom lane also showed up. Even in less than 4 minutes of the game, Li Luo had already dropped to the first place in the bottom lane with the cooperation of Titans. Layer taper.

Although the big brother's wheel mother played well, but the support dragged him down.

Li Luo's behavior of assisting Li Luo who wanted to go first twice was seen through, and it's fine if he was seen through, but Li Luo was able to counterattack because of this. The two clips matched with Titan's first move directly hit the flash of the bull's head, and then even more Pressed the bull's head back home.

Although TL's jungle excavator helped the impact on the road to kill the holy gun brother once, it solved the symptoms but not the root cause.

Holy Gun can still maintain the suppression of the lane until Akali reaches level 6.

But other roads put too much pressure on the sideline of the TL team.

Game time is 6 minutes and 30 seconds.

Xiye's bewitching girl walked on the road in a wave of spirituality, and after two chains tied Akali, Akali died on the spot.

Less than a hundred minutes later, Xiangguo cooperated with Kenan to complete a wave of tower jumping. Akali had little room to operate when he was kicked on the wall by the blind monk.

When the game time came to 15 minutes, the economic gap between the two sides had widened to nearly 5000 yuan.

What really broke TL's psychological defense was not long after.

15 minutes 30 seconds.

This scene seemed familiar to the audience.

It's just that this time Li Luo's hero changed from Verus to a policewoman.

Impact manipulated Akali to find a wave of opportunities to single-handedly catch the policewoman.

When Impact circled around and approached Li Luo from the river in the lower half of the field, Li Luo directly manipulated the policewoman to move closer to the grass in the river in the upper half of the field after a brief surprise.

The Thorn Bird's large force is fighting the canyon vanguard at this time.

And Liu Qingsong was already moving closer to where he was. Obviously, Li Luo's first thought in this wave was to join the main force, so maybe there was no need to dodge.

But soon, within Liu Qingsong's field of vision, TL team's Wheel Mom and Bull Head appeared.

Wheel Mom was using her big move, and rushed towards Li Luo along the red square F6.

If Li Luo continued to move closer to the river, he would obviously be caught by them.

To put it bluntly, Li Luo's position at this time can be described as very embarrassing.

And Impact's first move is undoubtedly very decisive.

The moment he saw the policewoman, he decisively used a wave of extremely skillful RE combos to hang Falcon Dance on Li Luo's policewoman.

Just when RE received the technology gun, the blood volume of the policewoman dropped by about one-third.

And this scene also caused a ghost scream to resound at the scene.

However, the moment Akali pressed forward, Li Luo released a clip in front of him.

When Akali handed over a section of E and the hero retreated, Li Luo began to stand still and wander around the trap.

In this position, as long as Akali dares to hand over the second-stage E, she will definitely be caught.

Li Luo, on the other hand, manipulated the policewoman to stand on the "corner" on the edge of the river wall.

impact is waiting.

Liu Qingsong has tried to limit, but he can limit one person, but not two.

Seeing that his teammates Wheel Mom and Niutou were almost in place, and his E skill was almost disappearing, Impact handed over the second-stage E and pulled towards the policewoman without saying a word.

However, at this time Li Luo was facing Akali and approaching Akali instead.

At the moment Akali was hit by the trap, Li Luo handed over the healing acceleration and walked past Akali at the same time. After adjusting his position, Li Luo backhanded the EQ Second Company and withdrew in the direction of his first tower.

At this time, Li Luo had eaten the Q skill that Akali released in mid-air when she came back from the second stage E, and her blood volume was already less than half. Even if she handed over the healing technique, the blood line was not pulled to a healthy level.

This bloodline...

Impact has deep eyes.

Relying on his understanding of Akali, when he has a level advantage, as long as he RAQ, he can take away the policewoman's blood.

The policewoman is still her own prey.

Therefore, at the moment when the policewoman handed over her EQ and retreated, Akali, who recovered her ability to move from the restraint of the clip, suddenly surrendered her second ult and rushed in the direction of the policewoman's retreat!
call out!
Glittering gold.

Impact's complexion changed slightly.

The timing of Li Luo's flash release was ingenious.

It's also fast.

Because the policewoman's Q skill has just been released at this time, but the policewoman has already flashed out.

The Q skill of the policewoman pierced through Akali's body.

This is not the worst.

The really terrible thing is that Impact found that after he released this R, the position of R fell into the attack range of the first tower in the middle of the Thorn Bird!

And the moment Li Luozai flashed out, his backhand threw another trap on the only way he had to retreat.

When Impact subconsciously retreated, his face turned pale when he heard a light click from his ear.

Anti-kill.

See also anti-kill.

It is precisely because of this wave that Li Luo has an extra nickname.

Akali killer.

An ad, how many times has he shown the assassin?

And the assassins who were shown were all Akali?
In the early stage, Li Luo's tower pushing rhythm itself was very smooth.

It's a pity that Li Luo has never been killed.

"Impact is considerate, I will send you a pillow when you are sleepy."

Xiangguo said cheerfully.

The TL duo was empty, and the Canyon Pioneer was easily captured by the Thorn Bird.

When the canyon pioneer helped the Thorn Bird to dismantle the first tower, the Thorn Bird's advancement trend was out of control.

In the first game, in 27 minutes, Thorn Bird won easily.

In the next two games, the TL team also made a lot of adjustments.

Jian Huang even took out a pair of mid laner Lux, trying to stir up some changes in the overall situation.

It's a pity that under the absolute strength gap, all this is doomed to be in vain.

3:0.

The TL team was easily won by the Thorn Bird.

And Li Luo, who defeated TL, was also a little bit embarrassed.

At this moment, thinking of the IG before rebirth, Li Luo still feels quite emotional.

When thinking about the group stage, the outstanding point of the IG team is their excellent team battle performance in the middle and late stages.

In the laning period, IG's many mistakes did give the opponent a lot of opportunities.

As a result, the IG team, which ended on 9/1 in the group stage, learned from the pain. Using the offseason in the middle, they worked hard to adjust, which greatly improved some problems that the team would encounter during the initial laning.

In the knockout match against the TL team at that time, IG's early performance also proved this point.

In the early stage of almost every game, they firmly overwhelmed TL, and King Ning helped the team win blood with the rhythm of the bar.

But in the middle and late stages, IG seemed to have changed a team instead. The first two games were all the big advantages in the front and were overturned in the middle and late stages.

The laning has been improved, but the team battle has become impossible.

This is also the reason why the TL team was chosen as the Thorn Bird's first opponent in the knockout round. Li Luo was also curious. The TL team who was defeated by G2 in the final 3-0 can win 3-1 against IG. What is their quality.

But now after the test, Li Luo also has a certain evaluation of TL's strength.

……

Just when the Thorn Bird entered the final without any surprise.

SKT, which was placed high hopes by countless LCK netizens, fell under the hands of G2 after five fierce battles.

The whole network vibrated for a while.
