Chapter 220 SKT’s big crisis!
"In two games, LPL's complete victory told everyone that we are climbing to the top!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice was impassioned: "The next game will be our match point game. If the LPL wins, it will directly declare the early end of this BO5. It can be said that the current LCK is only one step away from falling off the cliff."

"We have received news here that the legendary red team - SKT, which has achieved the legendary triple crown in the history of the league! will represent the LCK in the third game!"

I remember also raising my voice and shouting at the top of my lungs: "Our LPL representative team is also a red army. It represents the ancient giants that won the first world championship in our domestic professional circle - WE!"

The WE crowd steadily walked out from the left aisle of the center stage, with confidence and indomitable momentum on their faces, in sharp contrast to the heavy-faced SKT players.

But no matter what, SKT easily won two victories in the intercontinental competition, and one of them can be said to have beaten the second seed RNG of the LPL. There is no doubt about their strength.

"WE is going to fight a tough battle." The factory director's eyes were solemn, not relaxing at all from the big [-]-[-] lead.

They all know that although LPL is only one breath away from the final victory, this last breath is precisely the most difficult.

In the first game, RNG defeated the fourth seed sacrificed by the LCK, and in the second game, EDG played directly. The victory in these two games was expected, but starting from the third game, the LCK side had to blow the whistle. The call for counterattack.

They left two teams with the strongest strength. If they can win two games in a row, the momentum of the LCK division will undoubtedly be greatly improved, and the fifth decisive game will be more confident.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

This is the intention of the LCK coaching staff.

This group of coaches in the league are all top coaches in the world in terms of qualifications and honors. None of them are mediocre. It is even said that the strength of the coaching staff alone is ahead of the LPL team!
They realize that if they play in a normal arrangement, EDG alone will pose a great threat to them. Coupled with the sudden explosion of OMG in the intercontinental competition, LCK is likely to lose three games in the first four games. .

But if they design it so that their two strongest teams face the two weakest teams in the LPL, they can ensure to the greatest extent that there is a fifth game to decide.

Coupled with the team momentum and mentality bonus brought by the winning streak, they can create the optimal competition environment for their own team!

And another point is that in this intercontinental competition, different teams take turns to play, which gives the LCK coaching staff an environment to design this set of tactics; if it is like in other competitions, only one team will play BO5, first When losing two sets, let alone disturbing the opponent's mentality by chasing two sets in a row, I'm afraid your own mentality will explode first!
Faker Lee Sang Hyuk was sitting in the middle of SKT's formation. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon. He projected them through the lenses on the computer screen in front of him. He stared at the five IDs of WE on the opposite side. He kept moving his wrists, shoulders and neck. Adjust your own competitive status to the best.

The on-site commentary has exaggerated the atmosphere to the extreme, and with a crisp sound of clang, the BP stage officially begins.

SKT, who is on the blue side, banned Galio when they first came up. Although this routine was not developed by WE, it was used by WE the most during the summer split.

WE's choice was to ban Zac, Spider, and Lee Sin, completely sealing off Peanut's jungle area to avoid being harassed by Peanut during the laning phase and unable to line up.

In the first round, three bans were in the same position. This is the greatest respect for the other player.

Little Peanut was very proud now, shaking his head and humming.

"SKT banned Kled and Lucian again, and they understand WE's current carry point very well!" The factory director commented: "With the addition of Galio, who was banned in the first place, SKT's three moves are used to target WE's top two lanes. "

After entering the summer split, Kandi's state declined a bit; in matches between WE and some strong teams, he frequently had problems in the jungle. He often either went to the jungle alone to send him away, or he just kept busy for more than ten minutes without doing anything.

This is also one of the important reasons why WE uses three bans in the jungle in the first three hands.

Although WE can come back and win many games by relying on dragon grabbing in the later stage, this unreliable comeback method cannot reassure Redmi. Moreover, with SKT's operating methods, once the disadvantage is too great in the early stage, the opponent will be able to defeat the dragon in the later stage. You may not be given a chance to fight for punishment at all.

Just like EDG in the previous game, the baron is just a part of their operation, and it is not necessary to win the baron to push the high ground.

But fortunately, the status of Xiye and 957 has steadily improved. Xiye even leads Li Mufan in the single kill list, surpassing him by 2 single kills!

This is also the biggest basis for WE to dare to face SKT directly - the online operation is worthy of the opponent!

"But several of their best heroes have been banned. Will there be a problem?" The factory director was a little worried and worried about the brother team that came to the stage.

"If it were three days ago, WE would have lost these key heroes and would have only a [-]% chance of winning against SKT. The blue team's BP advantage was there and there was nothing we could do about it." Li Mufan licked his lips, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. : "But you also know during the training process that WE will grow very fast later on. Now they can't be targeted by simply banning a few key heroes!"

On the competition stage, although the buckle hit several key points that WE is famous for, it still feels like the opponent may have a hidden trick.

"I thought we would face the OMG team in this match." Dun Ma looked complicated: "Don't the coaches in the LPL know about the allusion of replacing a low-grade horse with a high-grade one?"

"Tian Ji is racing." Faker said softly.

"Yes, that's what I want to say. Logically speaking, they can leave WE until the fourth game, so the probability of winning will be higher." Dun Ma said with confusion on his face: "So I was thinking, WE will come up in this round, is it because of some hidden ultimate move?"

"They are on the red side this round, which is exactly the side where Five Hands can use their ultimate move!"

The only advantage the red side has in BP is the counterpick position on the fifth move. All other aspects are not as comfortable as the blue side's BP.

The buckle horse is cautious by nature and has to be careful.

But as the BP progressed, the wrinkles on his forehead became deeper and deeper.

what happened?

They are all the most common heroes, and there is nothing beyond his knowledge!
Although this is what normal BP should look like, why does it feel like something is wrong about buckling a horse?
Near the end of the game, Kuma was still frowning and thinking; the top laner Prince, the jungler Rek'Sai, the mid laner Syndra, and the bottom lane Ice Gablon.

In WE's lineup, all the characters are the top three heroes in each position in recent regional competitions. Prince, Han Bing, and Braum even rank among the top three heroes in the intercontinental competition!It’s so routine, so routine that it goes against common sense!
The referee behind him was already urging the coach to leave. Huni and Faker also turned their heads with strange expressions on their faces. They didn't know what their coach was worried about.

"It's so weird," Kuuma was still mumbling to himself as he took off his headphones. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind!
"Does WE plan to use hard power to defeat us?!"

All professional players of the opponent's lineup are familiar with it, and there are no unique tricks that can be used.

If WE wants to win, what matters is the players' operations and understanding of the game. This is the most basic thing for a professional player.

"What do you think of SKT's lineup?" Li Mufan tilted his head and asked Xiaohu on the side.

"Top laner Sword Girl, jungler Olaf, mid laner Karma, bottom laner Big Mouth and Lulu." Xiaohu softly read the heroes chosen by SKT for each position, and then said in a solemn tone: "At first glance, there is no hard control. , their ability to start is worrying; but if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that they have extremely strong frontal pull ability, and can build a very good output position for Big Mouth. It is no exaggeration to say that with the abilities of several SKT players, they even It can be four against five.”

"Then there is the Sword Queen on the wing. It can be said that the Sword Queen is ten to ten when she beats the prince. The Sword Queen has ten chances. In the later stage, the 957 path has no chance of winning. If WE wants not to be dragged down by Huni's single lead, we can only choose to go head-on. A strong attack, but SKT’s pulling power is too strong. If WE forces a group start, it is very likely that the battle line will be too long, and the output will not be able to keep up with the group start, and eventually the team will be destroyed!"

Xiaohu did not deliberately lower his voice, and his analysis was recognized by several people around him, including RNG coach Feng Ge.

"What Xiaohu said is what I thought." Brother Feng cleared his throat, changed his legs and said, "Looking at the lineup alone, SKT on the blue side did really well.

Not only did it counterattack the WE lineup, but it also played to its own strengths to a great extent.

You see, the three top, mid and jungle brothers, Sword Girl, Olaf, and Karma, are the heroes that SKT are most familiar with and use best in recent months. The bottom lane Lulu Big Mouth is a very OP bottom lane combination in the current version. , just right for a stable late-game core player like Bang! "

RNG lost to SKT again two days ago. It can be said that everyone in RNG, including the coach, is worried. Their bottom lane player was defeated by SKT led by faker in an international competition for the third time.

As soon as the game ended, everyone in RNG made an emergency review of the process. Although they may not be able to meet again in the knockout round, if there is another chance, they will definitely do their best to revenge.

Therefore, Brother Feng has a deeper understanding of SKT than other team coaches here!
After listening to the analysis of Brother Feng and the factory director, the surrounding players who were not good at analyzing the game were all watching the game with a pessimistic attitude.

Li Mufan didn't refute out loud, but in his heart he was firmly on WE's side.

Only those who have been playing training matches with WE can know how fast this team has improved.

The game officially started.

SKT's lineup has countless advantages, but there is no doubt that they don't have much combat effectiveness in the early stages of the game.

Needless to say, the Sword Girl on the road, when she is not equipped in the early stage, she can’t kill anyone even if her sword is broken; then Olaf and Karma will be able to stand up a little at level [-], but after level [-] and [-], they will not be like Rek’Sai and Cynder at all. The opponent pulls this extremely terrifying combination.

However, as long as Olaf takes out his jungle knife and upgrades to level [-], and makes some resistance, Kalma, coupled with Li Ge, can withstand the first wave of WE's outbreak. From then on, SKT's top half will turn into Advantages, and getting better and better.

Everyone in the lounge was staring at the big screen intently, wanting to see how SKT operated and dragged the game into its strongest period.

However, just two and a half minutes into the game, WE's first wave of offensive has already arrived!

Kandi made three wild quick grabs in three groups, and combined with Xiye Syndra's explosive burst from behind, he directly took away Brother Li with full health!
"Nice!" Li Mufan clapped vigorously when the first blood broke out. Everyone in the lounge was stunned for half a second. Obviously they didn't expect WE to start so smoothly, but they immediately expressed their inner excitement with noisy cheers!
Brother Li frowned slightly under the camera of the player, as if he was dissatisfied that he had not been able to dodge the opponent's gank skill just now.

But soon, WE said that our offensive wave had just begun!
957 took advantage of Shengsan and Huni's Sword Princess to exchange blood volume. The two exchanged fire frequently on the line. After this wave, 957's state no longer supported him to continue to rely on the line, so the prince retreated to the grass and read back to the city.

Huni didn't want to waste his jewelry eyes on the grass online. Relying on his good condition and holding the W [Laurent's Heart Sword], he directly poked into the grass to confirm 957's movements.

But squatting in the grass was Kandi!

Previously, 957 kept losing blood and changing skills in order to stabilize the line of troops close to the blue side SKT, so that Kandi could enter the grass against the wall from behind!

Huni was knocked away by a Rek'Sai [Breaking Out of the Ground] just as he stepped into the grass. The control relay between Kandi and 957, and a set of skills were connected to directly beat the Sword Princess to blood!

There was no need to waste flashes, Huni chose to make a hard move and wanted to change to 957, but ended up missing more than ten points of health.

Fortunately, Little Peanut arrived shortly afterwards. In order to target the prince of 957, he played Olaf with flash instead of sprint. At this time, he flashed over and used Q [Countercurrent Throw] to take away 957, saving a little disadvantage.

But Huni's army line was pushed forward. Although Xiaohuahua wanted to help Huni handle the army line, facing a Reksai, he couldn't ignore Kandi's presence and move the line directly, so he had to give up in the end.

The two sides exchanged heads for one, but Huni benefited from a wave of troops!
SKT was trying its best to defend, and all three lines spent four to five minutes investing precious early money on controlling guards.

But WE still didn’t give up easily!

Understanding the heroes of the lineup and taking advantage of the lineup is what everyone at WE understands most thoroughly after sparring with EDG these days!
Their lineup must lay the foundation for an advantage in the early stage. Since there are defenses online and it is difficult to catch, they will turn to the jungle!
Based on the information provided by the vision at the river, Kandi guessed a rough direction and asked the brother-in-law on the bottom lane to shoot the ice's E skill [Eagle Strikes the Sky], and successfully found the location of the little peanut.

Then Kandi took Xiye directly to the jungle area, and Syndra flashed EQ to the extreme distance to keep the little peanut Olaf!

Little Peanut was on the wave and encountered Flash on the top lane. Facing the pursuit of Rek'Sai and Syndra, he had no way to escape and died in the jungle!
"Not bad! My thinking changed very quickly, and I chose the right direction!" nofe praised loudly, and WE coach Hongmi also looked pleased.

Faced with WE's sudden change of offensive direction, SKT was at a loss.

In just 10 minutes, Little Peanut was caught to death twice in the wild area, and his jungle clearing count was already more than ten knives behind!

SKT, which represents the last hope of the LCK, is in a big crisis!
