The venue was now brightly lit, and under the light that filled the sky, ten contestants walked onto the final stage amidst thundering cheers. "Come on T1!" "Oppa, Fighting!" "Player Faker, come on!" There were obviously more Korean audiences in the venue. Even when Xu Yuan stood on the stage, he could still hear the faint sound of cheering. Among them, the loudest cheers were for Lee Sang Hyuk. This is also normal. He has been around for many years and is full of honors. If he doesn't deserve such cheers, then who does? Even as an opponent, Xu Yuan also recognized Lee Sang Hyuk's professional attitude. Just from a professional player's perspective, Lee Sang Hyuk did almost perfectly.
So even if there are more calls to support T1 off the court, Xu Yuan still has no idea. South Korea’s home game is still T1. this is necessary. "But if it were Samsung, there might be more people cheering us on." He thought wickedly. With a plain smile on his face, he waved hello to some of the LPL spectators who came to the stage. When all the players came on the stage after being introduced by the host Roar Emperor Quan Yongjun, the inspection and debugging of peripherals naturally began. As for the opening ceremony? The theme song of S13 is shit and the opening performance has nothing to say. At this time, in the official pre-game promotional video, Lee Sang Hyuk, who was quietly facing the camera, also said that classic sentence. "When all the waves are gone, I am the only one who remains standing." But this time... After Li Sang Hyuk finished speaking, the black screen was suddenly torn apart by two slender hands. "That's just...the waves are not big enough." Xu Yuan, who has handsome appearance and sharp eyes, gradually fades away from the picture. In fact, he is standing up. He had one foot on the side of the camera and his hands in his pockets. He lowered his head and looked calmly at the camera that was stepped on by him. The whole picture is extremely impactful, as if Xu Yuan has trampled the world under his feet. His contemptuous and sharp eyes are bright but suffocating. It was like a wildfire without any scruples, burning blazingly and wildly. Riot has done special transition processing here.
They covered the camera filming Xu Yuan with black paper and asked him to tear it open. Then the two scenes were edited together, and then there was the promotional video for the finals. Lee Sang Hyuk was the former king, a dark abyss of death as unpredictable as a deep pool, and the devil who made countless mid laners tremble when they saw their ID. Xu Yuan is a rekindled flame, a dazzling light condensed with brightness and unyielding, a peerless genius who has left a psychological shadow in the bottom lane all over the world. At this moment, the blue pool water and the red flames met here. Even if someone would turn into water vapor that would dissipate in an instant, it was obvious that they didn't think that person would be them. I have to say that Riot paid great attention to the filming of this pre-game promotional video, and the results were quite perfect. Audiences in the European and American regions and other small regions all thought it was very cool! However, the live broadcasts of the LPL and LCK divisions are a bit strange. "Since ancient times, red and blue have produced CP, brothers are so cute!" "This time it's really my fist that takes the lead! Brother Meng, knock!" "I didn't believe it before when I heard that Riot boss Ryze and Manzi were gay, but now I'm starting to have some doubts." "Knock! Knock everyone!" Although most viewers know that this is just a common opposition shooting technique. But that doesn’t stop them from taking things out of context and over-interpreting them. The LCK barrage on the other side is even more outrageous in comparison. "It's so hard to come back, why do you have to fight to this extent? Woohoo!" "Savior, don't you have any feelings for Xiang He?" "It's great. They still look like they were when they were young. Maybe this is their destiny!" "This reminds me of you from the starskkkkk" Korean girls are really... [Pinch nose] "Debugged." Xu Yuan carefully checked the peripherals one last time and notified the referee through the earphones. The referee behind him exchanged words for a while, and finally decided that the game would start in thirty seconds. It is worth mentioning that although the on-site referee is from the Korean Riot Games, it is basically impossible to do anything wrong. Because the referee from Riot Headquarters also came and stood beside them. After all, Riot Games actually had a stereotype about the LCK. At that time, the issue of OGN’s broadcast rights made Riot Games very disgusting. In addition, behind the LPL are the bosses of Riot Games. They don't say they favor the LPL, at least they don't want the LPL to be treated unfairly.
Therefore, referees were specially sent here to supervise these referees and prevent them from making any outrageous decisions. This wave can be regarded as a fist defense against Korean fists alone. Time passed little by little, and Xu Yuan had closed his eyes. During this period of time, the training sessions and the experiences of improving with teammates all passed by in just a few dozen seconds. When he opened his eyes, his eyes had become sharp, and all impetuousness had disappeared from his whole person. It's not a superpower, it's just what he does when he's extremely focused. BP, start! Even Lee Sang Hyuk did not interact with Xu Yuan in the competition room at this time. He has also entered a state of extreme seriousness. Although the hand holding the mouse was relaxed, his whole body was already tense. "Quisanti!" Without any hesitation, T1, who got the blue side in the coin toss before the game, directly chose to kill Ale's Quisanti with his first move. This hero can increase the number of offline players in the top lane! No matter how bad Quisanti is, he can still gain a laning advantage after successfully getting out of the ice spring. It can be called a brainless suppressive power like a blood-wrathed hand. Although Zeus's Quisanti can be played, in T1's BP strategy, the top lane must be suppressed. Naturally, it was impossible to snatch Quisanti for him. "Thinking about Rambo?" Xu Yuan frowned. Maokai listened quietly, saying nothing and being very obedient. Because Abramovich told him before the game: Your BP is too rigid, just listen to Xu Yuan. Maokai knows this too. So he chose to trust Xu Yuan's judgment like Abu. In fact, Abu is also helpless. Because the roster has been submitted before the World Championship, there is no way to change it, and even if it can be changed, since neither he nor Mingkai played as a draft pick in the summer split, there is no way to do it. Rather than letting Maokai do the formula BP, it is better to choose to trust the players. There is no doubt that this strategy is very bold. but…… For EDG, if they follow the rules, the probability of defeating T1 is too low! In fact, this move may be a burden for ordinary players.
Only Xu Yuan was the accident. because…… He is a reborn man. He knows all the strong points of S13! Including T1’s hero pool and system! This is his greatest confidence in playing T1. Someone may say: Hey, but some systems are difficult to counter even if they are known! Just like the former S8 champion IG or the S5 champion SKT. Everyone knows the tactics of IG and SKT, but can they break their system if they know it? No! Because you can't even hold the line, how can you talk about system restraint? The strongest point of T1 now is actually similar. EDG's mid and top junglers will be under a lot of pressure. This is a fact that cannot be changed even if you know the T1 system and tactics. But the so-called winning rate is stacked up in such subtleties. Even though the gap is still large, Xu Yuan now has the advantage of the information gap. "Niko." After Xu Yuan thought about it, he did not choose to press Rambo. Instead, he chose to target Lee Sang Hyuk with Nicole. For Lee Sang-hyeok, who is now more responsible for lining up and starting a team, Nicole is an excellent choice. And without Neeko, T1’s first choice will be... "tsar." He whispered. Then in the next move, it is almost clear which hero T1 will choose to press. "Jace." Almost the moment Xu Yuan said Jace's name, T1 directly chose to kill Jace with his second hand. In an instant, even A Le, who had known that Xu Yuan's judgment was extremely accurate, couldn't help but cast a shocked look at Brother Yuan. I'm super, awesome! This is A Le's only thought. However, I am uneducated, and I can take the world by saying something awesome! "Leenata." Xu Yuan didn't care about the surprised looks of his teammates and whispered EDG's second squad.
This Lenata move was not because Xu Yuan couldn't beat Kalista and Lenata's combination. It's because Lenata, who supports Keria in T1, is more often chosen for the whole team. After getting Lenata, in T1, Yesuke collaborated very frequently. And Oner, who doesn't have many worries, will become much more powerful. Therefore, Lenata must press this hand. T1, who had Lenata pressed down, paused for a rare moment. The T1 coach must also be surprised at this moment: Is maokai so sharp? Little did he know that the one he was drafting with right now was not coach Maokai, but Xu Yuan, the biggest bug! After a short pause, T1 chose to press Xia with his third hand. "Even T1..." Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene. He didn't know whether it was better to be happy or sad. Naturally, I am happy because even in T1, I have to respect Xu Yuan’s Xia who has a % winning rate so far in terms of BP in the finals. The sadness is naturally because without Xia, in his eyes EDG's winning rate has dropped a lot. "This hand Xia is really full of respect." "Savior is indeed the best user of this hero, but to be directly dealt with by T1 in the first three moves is indeed a bit outrageous." Miller said in a deep voice. "Because we all know that the hero Xayah is actually very afraid of Poke heroes." "And one of the tactics that T1 is very good at right now is the two-shooter bottom lane, which is very powerful in lane setting and consumption!" "There are obviously tactics that can target Xayah, but they still choose to hold on... They value Savior far more than I imagined." There are two shooters in the bottom lane who can play, but they still choose to give them a ban position. Isn't this respect? Xu Yuan's expression did not change at this time. Even though it was a pity that he couldn't get Xia, in fact, he didn't think about playing with Xia today. He must hold on to the line tightly! Without knowing whether the middle and upper lanes can equalize or gain an advantage today, Xu Yuan must ensure that his bottom lane is up. Or to make it clearer... The moment this BO5 started, he was already ready for a two-on-five fight with Meiko.
He is the future that EDG once looked forward to, and is also EDG's only hope now. He will habitually put the responsibility on himself. Because he is a core player! "Rambo." It was only then that with Xu Yuan's words, EDG chose to kill Rambo in their third move. In fact, he has been thinking about whether this hand will be Rambo. Although it seems possible, it is just an appearance. The proficiency of Zeus's sword demon Crocodile Zeus is also very high. Moreover, he can also play top laners like Gwen and Yone, which are not conventional in the current version. But Xu Yuan gave up after thinking about it for a long time. It wasn't because he was too tired, it was because he discovered that Rambo actually couldn't let go. Ignite Rambo is basically invincible in this version, but Ah Le's Rambo proficiency is not enough. So no matter what, they have to move this move. Unless Jiejie keeps training Zeus, this Rambo will become the big daddy after being elected. Xu Yuan's vision of winning the game definitely does not include the scene of Zeus developing without pressure! To meet his requirements, the top lane must have an advantage in laning. Normally, this is difficult. But there are always more solutions than difficulties. The special environment on the road is doomed. Even if Ale can't beat Zeus, he can still "skip class." Next, it’s naturally T1’s turn to choose. "Skateboard shoes, okay?" Coach T1 asked without thinking for too long. "Do you want to use AD first?" Little Lu Bu asked. To be honest, he doesn't really want to use AD first, even if it's a skateboard shoe. If you play AD first in the bottom lane, you will easily be countered. This unreasonable thing like Draven is still there. In Xiao Lu Bu's mind, they have a great chance of winning today's game. but……
How uncomfortable would it be for Xiba if his teammates were killing him randomly and he died alone? But obviously, this skateboard shoe cannot be used on the opposite side. Because the opposite side is [No. 1 in the world]. Even though little Lu Bu was very confident in himself. But when he watched Savior defeat all the ADs he encountered in the World Championship... Not to mention being weak in my heart, at least I will become more cautious. and so…… Xiao Lu Bu was heartbroken after experiencing the S12 World Circuit and had already questioned AD's carry ability. Finally he spoke. "Forget it, take it." Anyway, AD is just an egg, and it is the upper midfielder who decides the game. It’s hard to overpower a hero like Skateboard Shoes, but if you can’t, you can still be a team initiator, so it won’t be ineffective. "Don't be afraid. If he dares to take Draven, my brother will help you catch him." The jungler Big O has a guaranteed vote. However, little Lu Bu just smiled. Oner's main focus on arresting people is a stream of consciousness, but now it's useless even if he says it. At that time, we still have to listen to Brother Xiang He’s command. believe him? It’s better to believe Brother Xianghe. "Brother Yuan, what should we choose now?" Maokai asked softly. Xu Yuan, who was deep in thought, had already thought about his choice. "Let's just use the system we started playing the day before yesterday." "...I think it's too risky?" Maokai knew not to question Xu Yuan, so he tactfully mentioned it. Although the training results of that system were pretty good, it was just a training match. and…… All the risks were entirely on Xu Yuan's body. If something went wrong with him, there was a high possibility that he would be laughed at after the fight. To be more serious... Disgraced! "Can you win without taking risks?"
Xu Yuan turned around and asked directly. His eyes were pure and sharp, filled with only the will to move forward. He didn't care at all whether he was ruined or not. No matter how glorious the past glory is, it is just the past. Xu Yuan can only look forward. The world championship and world number one he once won can only prove that he was the champion and number one at that time. Other than that, it means nothing to him now. He just wants to win. Moreover…… If you lose, you will be ruined. Then, wouldn’t it be enough if we win? This is Xu Yuan's simple logic. Maokai looked at him with a somewhat shocked look. He can also be considered a veteran in the e-sports circle. I am used to seeing many players who dare not operate even in the regular season in order to protect their value. Now that he suddenly saw a player like Xu Yuan who was willing to work hard even in the World Championships, he was only shocked. He just nodded mechanically and had an idea for no reason: Some people really take their success for granted. EDG's former second-hand team directly captured Riel and Kalma. "Karma? Support or mid laner?" The T1 coach thought about it for a moment and felt it was a bit tricky. In fact, although Riel plays more jungle positions, he is not unable to play as a support player. This is from EDG, double swing! "It doesn't matter, give me the Tsar." Lee Sang Hyuk's eyes were calm and he spoke seriously. No matter what the mid laner is, Lee Sang Hyuk is confident that his czar can play. The Tsar in this later version has absolute dominance. Coach T1 thought the same thing. Now that the Tsar has no natural enemies, what if Karma is the mid laner? At most, it can be played in the early and mid-term, but its effect will become smaller and smaller in the middle and late stages.
"Tree Tsar!" In the second and third moves of T1, they selected the midfielder of Big Tree and Tsar. Although the damage of Rui Er's Q punishment is very high, the damage of Big Tree's Q punishment is also not low. With this midfielder, T1 is very confident. Next, it was EDG's third hand. "Here T1 took down the midfielder of the Tree Czar, and paired it with the AD of skate shoes... Their lineup is too strong, right?" When he saw half of the BP, Miller was a little desperate. These are all heroes from version T1 and up, so EDG just gave it to T1? But thinking about the heroes that EDG moved, it seems that there is nothing they can do. Nicole Natalambo, which one of the three can be released in T1? The only one that can be discussed is Rambo. But what if Rambo is released and Lele can’t stand it? So this BP is already the best result for EDG. This is the suppressive power brought by T1, which is the most suitable version of this version. Even if EDG has the best bot lane group in the world, it can hardly take any advantage in BP. After losing to T1, some LPL viewers said that T1 is a customized champion. This is definitely unreasonable. But it is obvious that, at least as far as Lu Bu is concerned in the bottom lane, he has indeed taken advantage of him in the current version. Xiao Lu Bu's hero pool is very deep, and both big core and tool players can play. But there is only one hero... Whenever this hero becomes powerful, T1's bottom lane team becomes very strange. That's Zeli. Can little Lu Bu know how to play Zeli? There is no doubt that he can play. He also got a pentakill with Zeli. But T1's system becomes extremely strange when paired with Zeli. Because Zeli not only needs teammates to provide a pulling environment, but also needs to always pay attention to her output position. This troubled little Lu Bu because he was more of a harvester for the team. Although his Zeli performs well in laning, it often fails to produce results in team battles. Therefore, as long as Zeli has a strong version, T1's results will become very fluctuating, often overturning against weak teams. Let alone playing against a strong team. Before Chi Di came to LPL, he was a very famous Zeli Gou.
And after Emperor Chi left, the new Samsung AD Peyz [peyz] was also a Zeli dog. This also caused Samsung to almost bully T1 in the league. But in the two World Championships, Zeli was cut into a dog. Coupled with the explosive statement rumored by Riot after the game: [I was relieved to see T1 win the championship] It’s hard not to think of: "Is the version of this thing controlled by fist more beneficial to T1?" [Of course, I think it’s a coincidence. 】 Back to the topic. EDG selected the prince with the third hand. "Prince? Then what is the meaning of this wave of hands?" Coach T1 was a little dizzy. It's not that this BP is very good, but it seems very inexplicable. Since you chose Riel and Karma, you have made a plan to swing. Then why did you take out the jungler in the first round? Swinging is used to cheat the ban position! You basically let me determine the position in the first round, so how can you cheat and move with your swing? His face became much more serious, and he thought carefully for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the meaning of this move. In the end, we can only conclude: Maybe Maokai is stupid, so he did this thing of taking off his pants and farting. However, in fact, the T1 coach thinks too much! Xu Yuan has only two plans: Get the heroes of the system you want to get, and hide the top laner and AD heroes as far back as possible. It's that simple. Because Xu Yuan knew that version T1 of the system was too thorough. If he wants to compete with T1 in BP strength by swinging back and forth, it is probably impossible with his level as a temporary "coach". This is not a lack of confidence, this is a fact. Do you really think that Korean coaches are just as good as some coaches in the LPL? Especially in a team like T1 with a top star player like Lee Sang Hyuk. How much pressure does this coach have, and how cruel should he be? So he didn't even think about following the T1 coach. He just wanted to show off and use the system he had the most confidence in EDG. That's it.
This wave, this wave is where BP is serving Piccolo masters. With the selection of the prince, BP has reached the second round. Because EDG is the red side, they ban them first in the second round. "Sword Demon." In the fourth move, Xu Yuan chose to press down the Sword Demon. The hero Sword Demon is still a pervert. Don’t take T1 in the first round. Others may find it strange, or may feel that T1 gave me a chance. However, he knew that T1 was probably ready to fish with the Sword Demon. After all, in T1's field of vision at this moment, it is absolutely impossible for EDG to know that Zeus will use Yongen to defeat the Sword Demon. So it is normal to use this move to trick EDG on BP. You must know that in the previous rounds of the knockout rounds, Sword Demon was a popular hero. But even though I was thinking of a trick. Once EDG is not selected in the second round... Then T1 won't mind choosing Sword Demon. It's not like Zeus's sword demon doesn't know how to do it. T1's abacus was ringing loudly, but it was a pity that he found the wrong person. Xu Yuan: Brother, we won’t do this! People who have precognition enabled are so stubborn. Move it right away! "Kasha!" In the fourth hand, the T1 coach chose to kill Kai'Sa, further blocking the possibility of Xu Yuan's carry game. This hero is also his signature. The S8 champion was defeated by Xu Yuan's Kai'Sa. The champion skin is still worn on Kai’Sa. "Gwen." Xu Yuan spoke calmly, and chose to block Gwen with his fifth move. Until then, the T1 coach suddenly realized something was wrong. Gwen...? Although Zeus did train Gwen, he never thought of letting Zeus play with her in the first place. "Has the research on EDG reached this point?" His eyes became more serious.
Logically speaking, Gwen should not be in EDG's field of vision. "Aphelios." In the fifth move, the T1 coach once again chose to target Xu Yuan. This time, the big core is still blocked! Kalma in the middle is almost certain, because when the prince is determined to play jungle, Riel can't play jungle and can only assist. So at least so far, EDG's lineup output point is very single. It is a very correct choice to press down the big core moon man. "It's the second round...EDG, what choice will it make?" The eyes of the whole world unconsciously gathered at this moment. In this case, Xu Yuan also took the lead in selecting the top lane hero in the second round after communicating with A Le. The next second, a version of the original painting of an absolutely unpopular hero appeared in EDG's selection. It had some thick hair, and the alchemy jar behind it was constantly flowing with green alchemical liquid. It was lying on the ground, its sharp claws emitting an intimidating cold light, and it opened its mouth slightly, revealing its bloody fangs. The Raging Beast of Zaun, Warwick! "This this!" "This is a werewolf?!" Guan Zeyuan's voice revealed full surprise. How long has it been since I last saw this hero in a game? "I'm super, werewolf!" "I'm super, werewolf dog!" "EDG fainted? Is this hero useful for team fights? It's easy to get too much power!" "Don't tell me, this thing is actually very powerful in laning." "But just for laning?" The barrage immediately started a heated discussion. This move exceeded the expectations of all players around the world! They tried to break their heads, but they didn't expect that this hand was actually a werewolf. Because this hero is really not suitable for the game environment. However, while they were discussing, Xu Yuan had already pressed OK. locked! This is the way Xu Yuan came up with to deal with Zeus's laning pressure.
Since it is unrealistic to win head-on in the short term. So…… Abandon things like team battles and pursue a tie or an advantage first! One cannot have both. At least for the current EDG, it can't be done. However, if you simply want to stabilize the lane or achieve lane excellence... There is still a way. The route up is long. Without the jungler, the werewolf is almost invincible in 1v1. No hero can match Werewolf's laning ability. Not even the Nuoshou Dog can do it, because the Nuoshou Dog's value has been reduced for several rounds now! "It's okay, I'll just use Nar to develop with him." Zeus was not flustered. Although it is indeed difficult to hit, Gnar can still pull it as a long hand. The T1 coach could only nod. The last two picks of T1 were Nargasena! The reason for choosing Gnar has already been mentioned, while Senna is to strengthen the bottom lane's laning ability. "Sena? T1's bottom lane is still a combination of two shooters... In this case, what kind of AD can withstand this laning pressure?" Miller frowned and helped EDG think of a solution. Draven? Can not be done…… Even for Delevingne, it is still difficult to beat Senaga skateboard shoes. Before he could think about it, EDG finally came up with the last move. Without any hesitation, lock immediately! Desert rose, Samira! "WOW!" Almost instantly, the European and American commentators let out an exclamation. The lineups of both sides are formed! Blue square T1: Shannar Hunting wild trees mid lane czar Bottom set of skateboard shoes plus Senna. Red Square EDG:
Top lane werewolf jungle prince Mid laner Karma The bottom lane team is Samira Gariel. The competition is about to begin! "This Samira... it's too hard." Colonel Guan took a breath and said, "Everyone, everyone knows how Samira can perform well." "If EDG wins this game, it may be the most individualistic game we have ever seen this year!" He looked seriously and spoke in shock. "EDG's lineup. There is only one Samira at the output point." "This means that Savior must not only play an advantage, but also not make any mistakes, and T1 happens to be the team that is best at catching mistakes!" "It's too difficult...it's too difficult!" He sighed sincerely. "Just like S7 five years ago, on the stage of the S13 finals, Savior once again put EDG on his shoulders without hesitation!" "This time he..." "Can I still make it to the other side?" (End of Chapter)
