What is a carry-type top order?

The schedule of the group stage has been determined a long time ago.

At that time, Tengjing may also be out of protection for EDG and RNG, and wanted to give these two teams more intermediate preparation time, so their schedule was not so tight.

After all, no one thinks that Taobo can't appear in a group, right?
Therefore, in terms of the schedule of the group stage, Topball is a little tighter than the other two teams in the LPL division. The second round of the group stage will start from Group A first!
At that time, Teng Jing was just thinking about preparing for a rainy day, but he didn't expect that the current situation is really as they expected.

RNG is okay. The high probability of two wins and one loss in the group is stable. After all, the overall strength of Group B is not that abnormal. RNG's loss to Dragon Ball is also a narrow loss. It is not purely crushed. If the two sides meet again, whoever loses It's not good to win.

The situation of EDG is very bad.

0-3!

The start of the three-game losing streak, although EDG played a huge advantage in the early stage of the three games, facing SKT and even leading the economic game by tens of thousands.

But the problem is...

If you didn't win the game, everything is useless, so what if you lead the economy by 3W?
If you don't win the game, you don't win the game, and the result of the game will not change because of it.

Of course, it has not yet reached a desperate situation, at least there is still the possibility of qualifying in theory.

But the premise is that EDG has to win three consecutive victories in the second round.

Judging from the game process, there is absolutely no problem with EDG's strength, but they seem to be caught in a strange circle now, and they just don't believe in their late game ability.

Originally they were a team that was very good at playing late-game operations, but the failures of the past few years made them try to focus on the offensive rhythm in the early stage. The three-game losing streak in the group stage clearly showed that they had an advantage in the early stage, but in the middle In the later stage, he held a huge advantage but could not end the game.

This leads them to be faster and faster, and more and more want to solve the game in the early stage.

Moreover, the entire EDG team has also fallen into a deep self-doubt. This is the case in the field of competition. For example, in the fields of football and basketball, some people will say that a certain team has no winning culture.

What is a winning culture? ?

to be honest.

It is a kind of self-confidence!
In his bones, he firmly believes that he can win the game, and knows how to hold the advantage on the court to win the game.

Many teams have young talents full of talents, but they always ruin the good game after taking the lead. This kind of behavior is that they don't know how to transform the victory and how to win the game.

EDG originally had this kind of culture of winning games. It was the absolute confidence accumulated in their dominance of the domestic league in the past few years.

But now this confidence is gone!

This is the most important thing.

Confidence is the seventh piece of equipment for professional players on the field, and its importance is self-evident.

Once a player loses confidence, it will cause a huge blow to his performance on the field!
However, it is still difficult for you to influence him from the outside world with this thing. You can only adjust yourself through the players. Fortunately, the schedule has bought EDG a few more precious days. Li Hansheng still hopes that EDG can change history.

Although he also followed the trend and slandered Qichan when he was young, but at this point, he hopes that Qichan can make a higher breakthrough in his best year of World Championships.

Thinking about it carefully, Qijiang didn't go live to sell cakes when she was most popular, but she still persisted and worked hard to change.

At least for this point, in Li Hansheng's mind, Qijiang is not black.

On October 10th, the battle for the group stage will be reignited again!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Hansheng and his teammates were ready to go to the game site. Before the departure, Guo Hao brought some food such as bananas and chocolates to the players.

It is expected that there will be a total of 3 games in today's Taobao, and it is not a continuous battle. It is necessary to stay at the scene all the time, and the players will definitely not be able to eat in the middle.

In order to have a good competitive state, it is impossible to eat staple food on site. Eating food will cause blood to concentrate to the stomach and insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will lead to drowsiness, lack of concentration, and slow response.

It's not the first time that Taobao has played a game, so he has accumulated a lot of experience in this field. Guo Hao is like a logistics team leader, and he will make various preparations in advance.

The hotel arranged by Riot Games was not far from the Wuhan Sports Center, and a group of people came to the scene soon.

In addition to Topsports, players from Flash Wolves, Vietnam's GAM and Samsung came to the scene almost at the same time.

Everyone in Taobo happened to have a face-to-face meeting with the members of the Flash Wolves, and it could be seen that the overall mood of the Flash Wolves was not high, and it could even be said to be a little down.

because……

In the first round, not only EDG ushered in a three-game losing streak, but the Flash Wolves, who have the reputation of "Anti-Korean Heroes", also suffered a three-game losing streak!
That's right!

They couldn't even win GAM in the wild card division.

The Wanwan Underworld forum was full of mocking comments on the Flash Wolves team, and was criticized by fans in their own competition area. Flash Wolves enjoyed the same treatment as EDG.

Especially their core player Casa.

Casa is undoubtedly a jungler with obvious advantages and disadvantages, and his personal strength is beyond doubt.

The reason why Flash Wolves can occupy a place in the world's top League of Legends team is because of him and Maple. Their mid-field combination is indeed world-class.

Oh.

There is also an auxiliary snake in the bottom lane.

But the problem is that the strength of the top laner and ADC is not good enough, which makes their team's upper limit not enough. In the BO1 full of chances, they can often achieve good results, but once they enter the BO3 or BO5, which tests the overall strength more, their shortcomings will be targeted infinitely.

Besides, Casa is not the kind of player who can carry the team in the late game. His biggest weakness is precisely that he is easy to be invisible in the middle and late stages of the game.

Li Hansheng took the initiative to say hello to them, and only Snake could respond with a smile, while the others rushed to the lounge with their heads down.

It is enough to see how bad their mood is.

"Tsk tsk." Jack touched his chin and sighed, "Why does it feel like this year is a year of reshuffle of the League of Legends team? Many long-established players have performed very mediocrely this year."

"The future really belongs to young people like me."

"It's alright, it's alright, you haven't qualified for the group stage yet, you can fill the cup after today's game is over." Li Hansheng patted him on the back angrily.

"Brother Han Sheng is jealous, after all, my buddy is younger than you, and has a better future than you!" Jack laughed triumphantly as if he had grasped Li Hansheng's sore spot.

Gao Tianliang, who was passing by him, completely lost his words, "It seems that Brother Han Sheng is not much older than you, right? Besides, what kind of champion are you?"

"..." Jack was like a cock being pinched by someone's throat, unable to make any sound, standing there in a little embarrassment, and then shouted angrily, "Isn't it the world champion! One month later! My buddies will also be!! Champion! Champion skin, I want it!"

"Huh?" Shi Senming did not forget to tease, "You are the man in the legend who wants to surpass Han Sheng and faker?"

"Get out!! You are just jealous of me!!" Jack was furious, and he was about to pinch Shi Senming.

The two were fighting and fighting, showing no tension at all.

Normally, even though they didn't make an official appearance last year, they followed the team to play the entire game.

The World Championship is no stranger to them at all.

The group stage will start at 12 noon.

This is mainly to take care of foreign audiences. After all, there is a huge time difference between Europe and the United States and China.

If domestic audiences are purely considered, it will affect foreign ratings, which is obviously something Riot does not want to see.

Therefore, the fist has adopted a compromise method.

Just like when the World Championship is held abroad, it is reasonable for Riot to consider the domestic audience a little bit in the scheduling.

Regarding the hosting of e-sports events, Riot's planning capabilities are second to none in the world!
When it comes to playing e-sports, no other game maker has played fist.

League of Legends can become a phenomenon-level e-sports masterpiece worldwide, which is inseparable from the construction of fist e-sports events.

Even the fact that League of Legends can withstand the impact of so many games and still stand still cannot do without a sound and mature e-sports competition system as the foundation.

Although today is not a day off, the Wuhan Sports Center is still full of seats, and qualified audiences have chosen to come to the scene to support Topsports.

And there was no way to come to the scene, so he took out his mobile phone or opened the computer browser immediately, and entered the official live broadcast room to watch today's game.

"Good afternoon, audience friends at the scene and in front of the screen!" Guan Zeyuan's voice was full of enthusiasm.

Today, he and Wang Lao Er were arranged to commentate. The reason for this arrangement is mainly because Samsung is also in Group A. Guan Zeyuan is a solid fan of Samsung. Naturally, he is going to explain Samsung. The competition can reflect the effect of the program.

"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the second round of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals group stage, which is the final day of Group A qualifying!"

"Today! Our No. [-] seed Taobo team in the LPL Division will usher in the final test of the group stage, of course! Taobo, which won three consecutive victories in the first round, showed an extraordinary competitive state and a version understanding far beyond others , There will not be a big problem in qualifying. The suspense is whether Topbo can win the group! After all, noob said that his regret in last year's World Championship was that he failed to win the World Championship. He lost to the Tigers. This year he I want to win the championship without losing a game!"

"Haha, it's still too early to talk about winning the championship. We all know that during the World Championship, there is a new understanding almost every day. Other competitors are growing. If Topbo is standing still, it will be easy to be caught up and even surpassed! "

Guan Zeyuan seems to be reminding Taobo not to be careless, but in fact he is secretly expressing that Samsung may develop by leaps and bounds and pose a threat to Taobo.

The director also timely gave the scores of the four groups after the first round.

In Group A, there is no doubt that Taobo ranked first with three consecutive victories, Samsung ranked second with two wins and one loss, GAM ranked third with one win and two losses, and Flash Wolves ranked third with an embarrassing three-game winning streak. Winning the bottom of the group.

In Group B, Dragon Ball also won three consecutive victories, followed by RNG with two wins and one loss, Fnatic ranked third, and IMT ranked fourth.

In Group C, TSM and MSF rank first and second, AHQ third, and Fenerbahce No.4.

In Group D, SKT won all three games and ranked first in the group, G2 ranked second, C9 ranked third, and EDG also ranked first from the bottom of the group with an embarrassing 0-3 score.

Seeing the points in Group D, a lot of mocking barrages appeared in the official live broadcast room.

[It really makes me laugh, EDG cannot live without AHQ, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem, and the 3D area cannot live without Tifa. 】

[Guigui... Really, as long as you don't play in the same group as AHQ, you can't even get your first victory, right?Really have your Aww EDG! 】

[You know a hammer, the factory manager obviously wants to accumulate a lot of money, lose three games first, let you ridicule, and then slap you in the face! 】

【Get out of the way!I've been a little angry recently, my urine is yellow, let me wake up the piggy upstairs, and let me dream of qualifying for the group? ? 】

[My evaluation is that EDG can win the first victory, right? 】

[Trash Mingkai, with good characters and good characters, is in the top eight every year. I never dreamed that this year he couldn't even hold the top eight seat. 】

【What?Now there are still piggies?No, no, no?No one really likes being abused so much, right? 】

From the barrage, we can see how bad the current public opinion environment of EDG is.

Guan Zeyuan continued, "The rhythm of the second round of the group stage will become extremely tight. It will be a huge test for the team and players to finish the remaining three games in one day. After all, the World Championships in the past few years have There are too many vivid examples to show that a successful first round does not mean you will be able to qualify, and the variables in the group stage are still very large."

"You're right, but I don't think Taobo needs to worry about these things." Wang Er Er rolled his eyes, "The only suspense today is whether Taobo can win three consecutive victories and whether Taobo will take out again. Get something."

There was a sudden burst of exclamation at the scene.

It turned out that the Taobao people had come to the stage, and their opponent was the Flash Wolves.

"Wow... the schedule is a bit bad for Electric Wolves." Wang's second son still cares about his old club, "They are already low in morale and they will meet the strongest opponent in the group. Can't get the first victory?"

Wang Laoer's worry is not unreasonable, and this is also everyone's worry about EDG.

This is a three-game winning streak, but if you come up against a slightly stronger opponent, once you don't hold back, your self-confidence will completely collapse, which will lead to a vicious chain reaction.

But it's useless to worry at this time, the only people EDG can rely on are themselves.

After the players from both sides finished debugging, the director directly switched the screen to the BP screen of both sides without any trace of ink.

In the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Top Fight was on the blue side, so Top Fight will automatically go to the red side in the second round.

"The Lightning Wolves first banned Xia, and Taobao sent Kalista to the ban position." Wang Erer talked eloquently, "After watching so many games, everyone must be aware of the current version of the BP priority, Kalis The tower is a ban position that the red side must bear, so it can also be understood that the red side of the World Championship version has a natural explanation."

The bans on both sides were very fast, and the Flash Wolves sent Karma and Jess to the ban position successively.

And Tobo chose to block the rock sparrow and Syndra.

In this way, Flash Wolves can snatch Galio first.

Tao Bo naturally couldn't let the opponent get the combination of Prince Galio.

Therefore lock the prince Luo.

"Have you noticed that Taobo still loves the hero Luo more than Lulu and Fengnv?" Guan Zeyuan analyzed.

The second Wang rolled his eyes, thinking that Guan Zeyuan was so rare, "Did Zeyuan watch so many LCK games that he forgot what is the core feature of Taobao?"

"Top Bots is a team that has always advocated offense, especially emphasizing the initiative of the lineup. Luo Neng's incense burner and the characteristics of strong opening must be a high priority in the Top Bots lineup."

He scolded for a while, and then added, "Top Bot will most likely continue to take the combination of Shuluo."

[Second brother's status as a fan of Taobao is recognized by me. 】

[It is also the commentary of LPL, why is the gap so big?One can kneel and lick Koreans, but the other can be so precious to our team. 】

[Gu Nima must die, Samsung must be upset today! 】

【Come on!Hurry up and get out! 】

The idea of ​​BP in the World Championship is also very fixed. Under normal circumstances, the first three moves are the combination of the jungler and the bottom lane.

Put it in the second round and choose again.

You can also go out first, anyway, the bottom lane combination must be first out.

And the selection of each position is basically fixed, just a few heroes.

Because there will always be a few special versions of heroes, it is normal to repeatedly select them in all professional games for victory.

Why should I take the initiative to change if I can win with this hero?
However, in the final choice, Li Hansheng still brought some surprises to the audience.

It even attracted a burst of exclamation from the commentators in each competition area and the audience.

In the end, the lineups of the two sides were determined.

Flash Wolves are on the blue side, and Tobo is on the red side.

Top Road: Gnar vs Lucian.

Jungle: Barrel vs Prince.

Mid lane: Galio vs Ryze.

Bottom lane: Xiaopao Lulu vs Shuluo.

"Wow!" Wang Laoer smiled happily, "As expected of you, noob!! He understands the effect of the program and the traffic, and I chose Lu Xi'an at this juncture. Isn't this kind of behavior the same as saying , let me teach you how to play this hero step by step??"

"Hahaha." Guan Zeyuan also laughed and teased, "Should we take a look at the EDG team here? Let them learn how to win the game correctly with Lucian in the lineup?"

It's no wonder that the audience and commentators have such associations, mainly because this hero is too effective for the current LPL audience.
