League of Rattles

Chapter 1144

At this time, Reba naturally didn’t know what Yang Mi next to her was thinking.

She simply felt that if Jian Dan and someone really announced that they were together, she would feel very uncomfortable, so she became depressed.

Yang Mi, who was standing next to her, had no idea what Reba was thinking at this time. She didn't even know the relationship between Jian Dan and Reba, which was even beyond her imagination.

Because these two people often contacted each other privately, she thought it was just a simple contact between her and herself.

After deciding to go to South Korea, Reba and she started to prepare some things, and then asked the team under them to start working on visas and other things.

Because they frequently travel to South Korea, they are naturally familiar with these matters.

In addition to these two people, there were actually two other people who were preparing to go to South Korea at this time.

Since they fought together, Mina and Zhang Xuan's relationship naturally heated up rapidly.

Now Zhang Zhangxuan is no longer a model, but stays by Mina's side and acts as her assistant, which makes her closer to her.

During this period of time, Mina has turned down many schedules. Although this has caused her agent a headache, Mina's personality is just like that and she really has no way to do anything about it.

Now Mina has completely focused on flying to South Korea, so it is not suitable for her to continue to take on more scripts at this time, so she can only compromise.

In addition to Mina, Zhang Xuan was also eager to meet Jian Dan.

It has been nearly two months since they last met. Of course, she was eager to see Jian Dan and take up arms against him.

Everything is going very smoothly at work, and he is very close to winning the second championship in his life. As for his career, his company is also thriving. As for his love life, although he does not have an official girlfriend, his private life has always been very comfortable, so he can be said to be an enviable winner in life.

After a simple opening, the four teams appeared one after another, and then they started fighting against each other. On October 10th, it was the first game of the semi-finals, with KT facing IG.

"Do you have confidence?"

At this time in the lounge, the coach of KT, who was preparing to go on the court, looked at the members of KT one by one and suddenly asked a question.

He had thought that his teammates would respond to him with excited expressions, but what he never expected was that each and every member looked very depressed at this moment.

This made his eyes narrow, but when he thought that he was about to face IG, he immediately felt relieved.

Because he knew very well that the reason these players performed like this was because IG's strength was too terrifying.

They had not only heard rumors about IG's strength, but had actually faced IG. During the Intercontinental Championship, they easily defeated IG in a famous scene.

In the previous game, the simple Wind Girl directly created the highest kill number and the highest kill streak number in the history of the League.

But thinking back a few months ago, they were the ones who were beaten into the background, allowing Jiandan to use Xerath to get the highest kills in the game, and also set a new record.

Now it’s just a matter of going to the next level on top of the kill record at that time.

Especially deft.

At this time, the coach looked at him with some concern.

Because when I faced Jian Dan and A Shui at that time, I was traumatized by the blow from Xerath. After I went back, it took me a long time to adjust my mentality.

There was really no way. At that time, Deft had tried his best to move, but Xerath's ultimate seemed to have locked him. No matter how he dodged, he was accurately predicted by him and taken away in three hits. Anyone facing this situation would feel powerless.

Especially during the subsequent pause for review, in the training camp, Deft took charge personally, but there was still no way to dodge, so he knew very well how terrifying this person's strength was.

Now that we need to face him again, can we get our rhythm back?
Regarding this, both the players and the coach themselves were worried.

When they faced IG, they just thought that this was a stronger team. This was because they played very well in the summer season. If we look at the record, IG was only fourth in the Intercontinental Championship, so they actually had a huge advantage.

But they never expected that when they really faced IG, they would be beaten so badly.

However, IG did not sink afterwards. Instead, they played better and better and never lost a single game in the domestic league.

What was unexpected was that this record continued into the World Championship. So far, after playing so many games, IG still has not lost any small games.

This is a very exaggerated thing, because if they can maintain this record, it means that IG will create a myth in the history of the league, with an undefeated record and win the global finals.

Therefore, facing such a team that is invincible and the favorite to win the championship, anyone would have a headache.

In fact, Deft and his team were somewhat fortunate that they were facing IG at this time. If they were facing RNG in the other half of the zone, their life would have been even more difficult.

This year's RNG is invincible.

Although they stumbled in the early stages, now that they have been sublimated, their strength has improved at a speed that is visible to all. If they were to face the opponent, the bottom lane combination would basically be in a state of being blown up.

Deft and Xiaohu are old rivals, but in the LPL league, the reason why Deft was able to suppress Xiaohu and performed better than him was because Zhaizhang habitually ganked at level 2. When facing acquaintances, Zhaizhang, like Xiaohu, habitually struck out with heavy punches.

But if they are facing an unfamiliar team, then their performance during the World Championship will be evident. Therefore, because the factory manager is very familiar with Xiaogou, he will target him specifically, which naturally makes it difficult for Xiaogou to have a standout performance when facing EDG's targeting.

But after leaving EDG and returning to LCK, Deft was very clear when facing Uzi that without a jungler like Clearlove to protect him, it would be a success as long as he was not suppressed by 50 knives in the one-on-one battle in the bottom lane.

However, being suppressed by 50 knives in the bottom lane already means that the opponent has suppressed a lot of economy. After having half a piece of equipment, the ability to output in team fights is naturally not on the same level.

What's more, Xiang Guo's playing style itself is very scary. As long as he keeps a close eye on their jungler and doesn't go to the bottom lane to interfere, with Xiao Dog's strong laning style, any combination will basically be suppressed by him when facing him.

Deft and his team had previously scheduled training matches with Xiaogou and his team, but the results were always miserable defeats. On the contrary, when facing IG, based on their previous laning habits, they would simply roam directly. Therefore, Deft and Mata would naturally feel more comfortable facing A Shui.

Regardless of winning or losing, at least during the laning phase, the game will be very comfortable.

This is already a very good ending for them.

It’s just that IG’s overall strength is stronger than RNG.

This is mainly because of the explosiveness of Uzi, which has unlimited possibilities, but the strength of the three brothers in the top, mid and jungle cannot be compared with that of IG.

So when facing IG, their winning rate is very low.

In this situation, the coach asked them if they were afraid, and everyone knew very well in their hearts that they were very scared.

But is fear useful?

All they can do is to try their best to win a game, so that they can complete their journey from beginning to end.

Even though they knew they would be criticized by countless people when they returned, things had come to this point and they had no more choice but to go on.

They could even imagine that when they returned home, those crazy audiences would question them, asking, since they played so badly, why didn't they let SKT play?

But what they won’t tell these viewers is that it’s not because they performed badly in the World Championship that they think SKT can go beyond. They can’t even get out of the domestic league, so why do they think they will perform brilliantly after going to the World Championship?

This year, SKT also performed very poorly when facing the LPL teams. It was directly defeated by RNG in the Intercontinental Championship. During the Asian Games, the team composed mainly of SKT was also the same and failed to win. This shows how strong the two teams RNG and IG are this year.

Any team would have almost no chance of winning when facing these two teams.

However, for most teams, they think facing RNG is much better than facing IG.

Although they are also very strong, the most important reason is that they have a clear advantage, which is also their weak point. As long as they specifically target the bottom lane and suppress the development of the little dog, the output of this team will be very scarce.

In this way, there is hope of winning.

On the other hand, when facing IG, no matter which position they want to target, there will always be others who can stand up and take over the game.

This is the most troublesome part.

You can target one point and kill him like a dog, but you have no way to prevent other people from stepping up and taking over the game and leading the team to victory. No matter it is the top lane, mid lane, bottom lane or even the support, they all have this kind of bottom-up capability.

Therefore, for any team, facing such a team that has no clear weaknesses will be very troublesome because you don’t know how to target them. This is also the reason why this team has never lost before.

Looking at the entire summer season, the only small game that IG lost was when they simply picked a support hero like Morgana, who had no decisive ability in the team. Therefore, when Vayne stood up and there was no way to restrict him too much, IG had no way to do anything about him afterwards, which led to the final loss of the game.

But since then, Jiandan never chose this kind of purely functional hero again.

Choose heroes that can set the pace in the early and middle stages or have strong output capabilities in the late stages to help the team.

Therefore, for him, when any team faces them, as long as they are in a disadvantageous position, they will stand up and take over the game.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter which point you target. Among the three C positions, even if you kill two of them directly, the last person can still stand up and output.

However, a team has only so many CC positions. If they want to target two points specifically, they will need to devote a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and their own development will also be greatly affected.

After specifically targeting these two points, they naturally will not have more skills to deal with another person later. In this way, the last one can also output there without pressure, harvest directly, and win the final game.

This is a situation that has never occurred in countless seasons and countless teams in the history of League of Legends over the years, because most teams are accustomed to choosing a dual-core lineup. After one point is pressed down, the other point can stand up, but the three-core lineup cannot do it because there are only so many resources in the entire game. If you want to support the c position, you must tilt the resources to a certain extent.

Only in this way can they have strong output capabilities in the future, but IG directly strengthens itself by plundering the opponent's resources and cultivating three cores.

Compared to KT's solemn expression, the expressions of the IG members were naturally much more relaxed at this time.

On the one hand, it was because they were very strong, and the training during this period was very effective, allowing them to bring out new systems. In addition, they had other trump cards on hand, so when facing the opponent, they naturally had an advantage.

You just need to play the game step by step at your own pace, without having to bear the heavy pressure like others.

And it seems that KT is known as the galaxy team in LCK.

But in fact, people who have watched their games know very well that the strength of this team is not as strong as imagined.

To put it bluntly, any team that claimed to be the Galactic Fleet was ultimately unable to achieve satisfactory results.

After seeing both teams sitting down at the same time to conduct bp during the battle, commentators from various regions also took to the stage.

People commented on the achievements of both sides and some of their performances this season.

At the same time, it also predicts the game situation between the two sides and what the bp selection will be like.

There are many new players on both sides. For example, KT’s mid laner, Ucal, is a newcomer. This is his first time participating in the World Championship, and his hero pool is also limited, so the heroes he can choose from are actually quite limited.

This is also the reason why they were so restrained in this year's World Championship.

On the other hand, on IG, the only three players who have actually been on the world stage are Jian Dan, Rookie and Duke.

The remaining three people are participating in the World Championship for the first time, so they are also pure newcomers. It’s just that because IG has always performed very strongly, people subconsciously ignore this aspect.

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Miller."

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator Wang Duoduo."

"Hello everyone, I'm the commentator Rita."

Several commentators on the field began to warm up the audience and introduced their identities, while there were waves of cheers from the audience.

Although the game has not really started yet, for these spectators, being able to see their favorite teams and players is already a very happy thing, and being able to come to the scene to watch the game itself is a very exciting thing, because the atmosphere of watching the game live and watching the live broadcast on the Internet are completely different concepts.

"Which hero do you want to take this time?"

During the bp stage, Coach Jin asked about their wishes.

Although coaches have a lot of autonomy, they often consult with players and let them use the heroes they are best at.

There are so many strong heroes to choose from in this version, so there are naturally many targets.

In this case, what needs to be done is to choose a hero that the player is good at and has a high compatibility with the team. Therefore, there are several options to choose from each time. In this case, it is natural to let the players choose and pick the one that they are most satisfied with.

Unless it is a particularly OB hero in this version, the coach will directly force a specific choice. Otherwise, he will not focus on coming up with the lineup he wants most, but will have certain selections.

At this time, everyone in the team was relatively relaxed and said what hero they wanted to take, but of course it was just a suggestion.

What kind of hero you will finally get depends on the lineup of the opponent and your own team, and then you can make a targeted selection.

Jiandan didn't comment on this, because to put it bluntly, he usually chooses heroes that are against the version, so it doesn't matter what kind of hero he takes at this time. Because his hero pool is very deep and the number of heroes he can take out is very large, so he can use any hero to deal with it. Naturally, he doesn't need to take out the one he wants in advance, which will give the opponent a chance to react. After listening to the relaxed atmosphere in the team, the coach also nodded.

The reason why I asked them what hero they wanted to choose was to let them relax, because the effect of playing in a solemn atmosphere or a cheerful atmosphere will be completely different.

Coach Jin, who was originally a player and now a coach, is very clear about this.

So I understood how to mobilize their emotions. Now it seems that this little thought of mine was very effective, making the atmosphere on Jiandan's side very relaxed.

Compared with IG, the other side was very nervous at this time.

After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Moreover, I have faced IG personally, so I know how strong their suppression power is.

When facing such an opponent again, they will naturally need to put in 120,000 percent of their strength to deal with it.

Only in this way can we resist their offensive and seek a chance of victory amidst slim hope.

Even though they themselves knew very well that facing such an invincible IG, their chances of winning were very slim, but having already reached this position, there was no possibility of retreating for them.

Therefore, whether they are willing or not, they can only choose to continue to fight forward. As for what level they can reach in the end, it all depends on God's will.

As long as you give your best and play your best, the final result is not entirely up to you, but at least you will not have any regrets.

The coaches on both sides began to carry out targeted BP, directly banning all the strong heroes in this version. This time, Duke was still on the field for IG.

Therefore, their top laner naturally has to act as a tank to deal with the opponent's offensive, so there is no pressure at all in terms of hero selection.

After all, Duke is a veteran player with a very deep hero pool, so naturally he has a lot of heroes to choose from.

Whether you choose a tank hero or a warrior hero, there is always a lot of choice.

It is simply unrealistic for the other party to remove all his heroes.

Therefore, the coach of KT is also very clear that it is unrealistic to specifically target IG's personnel selection, so he can only ban some strong heroes that he does not want to see.

Among them, Draven is naturally one of them. Of course, in the first three rounds, he could only give the three positions directly to Jiandan. At least, Xerath and the others didn't want to see him again.

Because the hero Xerath is a complete nightmare to Deft, and he had a hard time calming himself down. If he faces a simple Xerath again and is traumatized by him, there is no need to compete in this BO5, he can just admit defeat.

What's more, after Jiandan brought out Xerath, even Feike was directly beaten by the opponent when facing him. At this time in the bottom lane, such a strong support would make it more difficult for the AD to last hit and consume the energy. Of course, it cannot be in Jiandan's hands.

After suffering a loss once, if you are still stubborn and continue to use this hero, it is not only disrespectful to the coach's ability, but also makes a mockery of the player's performance.

KT's coaching staff was naturally very clear about this, so they banned this hero at the very beginning. Therefore, there was no difference from the choices of other teams before. The opponents could only continue to give their first three picks to these three simple heroes.

But this is a very uncomfortable thing for any team. The first three positions directly formed a fixed unit, resulting in them having no choice at all in the early stages.

Fortunately, because IG basically chooses to stay on the red side and select the last counter position, their opponents will be on the blue side.

IG must either remove such a strong hero or release it. At that time, two must be released, one on each side. Only in this way can they avoid being affected.

Otherwise, if IG removes all of their strong heroes and there is only one left, then the other team can directly snatch it when they are on the blue side.

In this way, it becomes meaningless for them to specifically block these powerful heroes.

But at this time, the winning rate comparison between the red and blue teams was not as outrageous as it would be later.

There is a certain gap in the winning rate of the two sides, but it is actually very small. Therefore, it is still very useful to grab the hero and restrain the last count at this time. Unlike the later versions, whoever gets the blue side first and then grabs a strong hero can basically take advantage of the first hand.

The color ratio of red and blue can even reach an astonishing 7:3 or even 8:2.

In a targeted bp, since the first three units are fixed directly, both sides can select players very quickly.

Knowing that the opponent's bottom lane was very strong, KT chose to play mid and jungle, and left Deft and Mata in the bottom lane alone.

Anyway, everyone knows that they are no match for Jian Dan and A Shui, so it would be better to just give them some mixed heroes to mess around in the bottom lane. As long as they don't get defeated in the laning phase, they will be considered a success.

At least the lineup of Deft and Mata is still very strong, so when facing the combination of Jian Dan and A Shui, they will not be easily defeated online like the opponents they encountered before.

Therefore, as long as they can mix it up with the others online and ensure that their economy is not left too far behind, they will basically be considered successful.

It is also for this reason that the blue side KT directly chose Ize for Deft.

After all, this hero's clearing speed is still very fast, and his own ability to survive is also relatively strong. Because it is speculated that he will choose to roam, the purpose of selecting the lineup on their side is to let Deft stay in the lane alone with Ezreal.

At that time, Mata will be freed up to roam around to support other lanes, thereby coordinating between the jungler and the support, and perhaps be able to open up the situation in the top lane and create some pressure on Jiandan and the others.

In the last game between IG and C9, the opponent's lineup selection gave them some inspiration. Because a Nightmare was chosen in the middle lane, Rookie's Tsar was directly suppressed and unable to roam, so IG's rhythm slowed down a lot. Therefore, they felt that they could also try to learn it.

Therefore, later on, their selections were also very targeted. Naturally, they had to play a mid-jungle lineup, so they naturally could not use some tank heroes.

You need to use output heroes like Jayce and Shen, only in this way can you pose a huge threat to the opponent's back row.

In this way, the BP of both sides will be freshly released soon.

Blue square kt.

Top lane: Shen, jungle: Taliyah, mid lane: Nightmare, bottom lane: Ezreal and Alistar.

Red side IG.

Ornn on top, Olaf in the jungle, Tsar in the middle, Varus and Janna in the bottom lane.

Kt finally chose a Minotaur to serve as his front row, which could increase his side's tolerance rate. At least there would be someone at the front, so that not all of them would be squishy and allow the opponent to form a breakthrough.

Moreover, after the hero Minotaur is selected, he can roam with Taliyah, and then he will be able to form a powerful control effect. As long as he cooperates with the mid laner, basically after Minotaur knocks the person into the air, the mid and jungle players will follow up with output, and can easily kill the person at a given point.

Therefore, for KT, they are still very satisfied with this choice.

The lineup of IG is quite standard, there is nothing much to say. When you see the opponent take out Nightmare to deal with it, you know that this lineup is not much different from that of C9.

However, because they had already defeated the C9 lineup in the last game, they knew how to deal with this lineup, so they chose to use Janna to restrain it.

This game is simple and clear. I can't just stay on the line like I did in the previous game. I have to roam around when I'm ahead.

So the bottom lane is basically just A Shui and Facing him playing there, because the two of them are fighting back and forth and it is difficult for them to do anything to each other, so basically leaving them alone in the bottom lane will not cause any big problems.

In this game, both sides will engage in a high-intensity confrontation between the mid, jungle and support. It depends on whose support can mobilize faster and cooperate with their own jungler to seize the advantage online. As long as they can establish their own advantage, it will be easy to snowball later.

Both sides need to quickly initiate the tempo, so naturally the requirements for the support are very high. Both Jiandan and Mata have won world championships, so it is impossible to directly conclude who is weaker and who is stronger.

At least Mata was once a very strong support player.

“I feel that the laning match between KT and IG is very interesting.

Both sides have to play with a mid-jungle lineup, so the bottom lane becomes free-range, so I estimate that there will be very few shots of the bottom lane in this game, and most of the focus will be on the three brothers of Nakanofu, and it depends on who can move faster. "

After watching the selections from both sides, Miller had a smile on his face.

They have already entered the semi-finals, and two of their teams have made it to the semi-finals. For them, this is completely a matter of opening champagne.

Moreover, for two consecutive years, two of their own teams entered the semi-finals, which means that LPL has truly risen.

It is no longer like before when it was very difficult to get into the quarterfinals. Most of the time, I just run with others and then I’m done.

"After crossing this mountain, there is only one other mountain left. As long as we cross these two mountains, we can directly reach the top of the mountain. This is very critical for the remaining four teams.

Now it depends on which two teams can climb over the mountains and reach the highest peak. "

Wang Duoduo looked at the lineups of both sides, and actually he was more inclined towards IG.

To put it bluntly, KT's lineup is more competitive, and the players they chose are all relatively fragile. Therefore, in terms of the solidity of the lineup, IG is still better.

To put it bluntly, the opponent only has one Minotaur as the front row. For IG, as long as their C position is up, it is very easy to deal with one Minotaur.

The opposing mid and jungle are quite competitive, which can be seen from the last game of C9. If they can set the pace, they can indeed set the pace quickly, but if they can't set the pace, then basically this combination will collapse very quickly.

The reason why the game was played so slowly in the last game was mainly because IG gave themselves the opportunity. They wanted to help to simply break the record, so they kept slowly pulling with the opponent.

But now facing a strong enemy like KT, he believes that IG will not do what they did when facing a weak team, but will go all out to quickly push the game away and win.

Because they know very well that when facing such a strong team, as long as they give the opponent a chance, they may be overturned by the opponent if they are not careful, so they must kill the opponent with one hammer to lay the foundation for victory. This is foolproof and there will be no problems.

"Both sides got the lineups they wanted, but I think in terms of solidity in teamfights, IG is still better.

When an Ornn pushes forward, he can not only split the opponent's formation, but also because his body is very strong, when he blocks in front, the opponent wants to go past Ornn and attack directly. Only the two brothers in the mid and jungle can do it in the back row.

But the problem is that if the two brothers in the middle and jungle go directly to the front and back rows, they are just two small and fragile people and they may be melted directly by this side. "

"But it's obvious that KT's lineup is not for teamfights. They need to choose to catch a single enemy in the early stage to establish a big enough advantage, and then they can directly carry the team alone. As long as someone is left alone, they will directly activate their ultimate move and rush over to melt the enemy in an instant.

This will allow us to have more people against fewer people, so now it all depends on how the two sides drive the rhythm when they enter the game again.”

Several commentators analyzed the lineups and situations of both sides, but in fact, the real people knew that what they said was just nonsense. People with strength could see this, but people without strength, no matter how much they said, could not understand what they were saying at this time.

But as for the commentators, their job is to control the situation and not let it get boring, so no matter what they say, they have to make sure they don’t stop. Therefore, before the game even starts, the talk show is over, so of course they can only give themselves something to say by analyzing the pros and cons of both sides.

Jiandan didn't know how the outsiders were viewing them at this moment. Anyway, all they needed to do was to defeat the team in front of them directly, so that they could advance directly to the finals. This was what they really needed to consider.

Generally speaking, when facing the other party now, the pressure on me is relatively small.

So all they need to do now is to gain a certain advantage on the court first. As long as they stabilize the line later, they don't have to worry too much when he leaves A Shui.

By cooperating with Ning Wang to catch people in this way and directly destroying the opponent's C position, the opponent no longer has the capital to fight with them.

The purpose of this lineup on the opposite side is to specifically target a specific point. The mid and jungle brothers can fly directly over and kill one person instantly, and there is no need to say more about Shen, who can use his hook to enter the battlefield from a very long distance, and then use his ultimate move Hextech Ultimatum to directly imprison someone.

In this case, it will be difficult for the several squishy characters on IG to face the opponent.

But in terms of the solidity of team fights, IG is still more stable. All the opponent can do is to target someone and kill him instantly, or perhaps rely on the advantage of numbers to defeat the minority. Only in this way can they win the team fight.

But if IG had taken the initiative to stick together their formation from the very beginning, while dispersing the opponent's lineup, KT would have found it difficult to resist them.

Both sides know their own strengths and weaknesses, so of course they know what they should do after entering the game.

The exchange of positions and reading of bars were completed very quickly. Then people from both sides entered the game, bought their starting equipment, and quickly headed towards the wild area.

They don’t know whether the opponent will invade their jungle, so what they need to do at this time is to occupy some key positions, so that they will be discovered as soon as the opponent comes. In this way, they don’t have to worry about their jungle being invaded by the opponent, resulting in a disruption in the rhythm of death.

In the beginning, the jungler's rhythm is very critical because he is the engine of the team. If the jungler stalls, the team will be silent for a long time.

If the opposing jungler is strong, he may directly invade your own jungle and take away all the important resources in the jungle. This is unacceptable for any team.

They can accept that their team cannot beat the opponent, and they can also accept that their jungler is no match for the opponent in a one-on-one situation.

But at least one thing cannot be done in the early stage, because the opponent directly invades your own jungle area, and your teammates do nothing, causing your own jungler to collapse in the jungle. This is not the jungler's fault, but all the teammates, and there is a problem with the decision-making of the entire team.

After buying their starting equipment, the people on both sides quickly came to the middle river, started placing wards in the bushes, and then quietly hid in the bushes. No one could see each other, but they could understand the other party's movements through their own tears.

It’s just a pity that both sides are veteran players who have been through many battles, so they have plenty of experience.

There was no intention of being fooled at this time, so after both sides made expressions to each other in the air, they finally did nothing and simply chose to back off.

The first level group fight failed, which was a bit disappointing for the audience.

Because of the posture of both sides, at the beginning, they thought that the two teams would fight directly at level one, so whoever could gain the advantage would get the limit.

Later on, we can suppress the opponent all the time, but now none of this has happened, which means that the subsequent laning phase will probably be very boring.

(End of this chapter)
