Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 454 I Like to Laugh (Part )
No miracle happened, or even if there was, SKT had the ability to nip such a miracle in the bud.

This was not only noticed by the top players and tactical masters,

Even the audience and commentators, whose skills varied greatly, noticed it.

"To be honest, from the first time I watched SKT's game until now, although their true strength has always been a mystery, one thing is very certain."

The explanation was given using as euphemistic language as possible.

"Whether it's Fanhua, KT, Samsung or G2 in the spring, these teams that have truly defeated SKT have all done one thing without exception:"

"In the game, SKT's absolute core player, Faker, was forced to take risks with personal heroism to fight for a glimmer of hope for his teammates."

"Every time SKT needs Faker to burst out to save the team, it basically means that this SKT has been pushed into a desperate situation."

He took a look at Faker's calm and composed look during the game, and even sighed:

"But unfortunately, at least in this game, Faker played quite... calmly."

How could they not be calm? From the beginning to the end, G2 had no way to really put enough pressure on them.

Their original strong offensiveness and outstanding individual abilities were almost completely unable to be brought into play due to the fact that their awareness was almost a level behind SKT.

The sensitivity is not high, the positioning is not cautious enough, the coordination when crossing the tower is not perfect, the group is not firm enough, the group is not decisive enough, and the communication is not in place...

It sounds like these are minor problems that are not so fatal, as if they are just a little bit worse than SKT.

But after these small problems were exposed one by one, they gradually accumulated a huge advantage for SKT.

Not to mention, the current LCK is no worse than the LPL in terms of snowballing.

It can be said that even gods cannot save this situation.

And the following trend is similar.

Does G2 want to fight back? Of course they do.

However, their absolute disadvantage in vision made it impossible for them to leave their high ground.

Even if they wanted to fight to the death, they didn't have the opportunity.

After all, they don't even have a ward position to exploit now. SKT's vision arrangement is so tight that it is hard to describe.

This is a hopeless crushing game.

In the 2nd minute, the desperate G saw an opportunity when Bengi moved a little forward, and regardless of tactics, the five players focused their fire on Allin to try to take Bengi away.

But just when Bengi was left with only a sliver of health, and Rambo was almost roaring as he tried to go up and deal more damage—

"Ha ha!"

The large area of ​​ground under his feet suddenly sprouted seemingly endless vines. In despair, Rambo flew up on the spot, and could only watch the Lee Sin with only a sliver of health escape, while he himself died under SKT's concentrated fire.

It's Jyra's ultimate again.

Facts have proved that in this version, as long as Windtalker is not chosen, Jella's disgusting level is definitely at the top among supports.

What’s even more frightening is that Xiao K doesn’t really like this kind of “stupid” support…

All in on a Lee Sin, and with the help of the top laner, they still failed to achieve anything, which completely destroyed G2's will to resist.

As SKT was advancing at a high speed, they easily won the first game. The scene was a little quiet. Apart from the polite cheers and applause from the LPL fans who were watching the fun, the real LEC fans all looked grim and a little like they had lost their parents.

"Let us congratulate SKT for being in excellent form and winning the first game without making any noise! ​​We also hope that the G2 players can take advantage of the break to make good adjustments and get back to their form as soon as possible."

The host summarized and made excuses for G2 in a formulaic way.

However, even LEC itself does not believe this.

In this game, the player with the worst KD data on G2 side is Bai Shu, with a data of 1/6. Just looking at Excel, his performance is definitely at the war criminal level.

But fans who watched the game knew that Bai Shu had already tried his best.

He was targeted from the very beginning and was ambushed and killed twice in a row by SKT's top and jungle, but he was able to barely replace one of them.

In order to fight in a team and provide support, they would rather walk to the line and lose soldiers but keep TP.

In every team fight, you have to deal damage and be in the front row, and if you are defeated, you have to be responsible for the rear guard.

It can be said that judging from the game alone, Bai Shu definitely wanted to win, and did everything he could do as a blue-collar top laner.

But what is the use?
If he, or any other member of G2, performs disastrously, then LEC fans can have a little hope.

Because as long as Zhanfen can regain his form, they can still be considered a strong team contending for the championship, and they will have the chips to continue competing with SKT.

Even if we lose, they can always put the blame on the person or people who had the problem afterwards. If that doesn't work, they can find an excuse to optimize him. Then we will still be one of the strongest regions.

Even if the honor is lost, at least the fans can still numb themselves with the method of spiritual victory.

But the problem is that the G2 players did not perform as if they "could not win because someone was in bad shape" or "each of them went their own way because of discord within the team".

On the contrary, they performed quite well in these aspects, and the atmosphere within the team was united and harmonious from beginning to end.

Then, LEC fans will have to face the cruel reality:
G2 lost because of the lack of discipline, tactical quality, command, vision arrangement ability and other abilities that reflect comprehensive quality.

This, in turn, leads to an even more cruel fact:

Compared to personal ability, which can be explained by "a few geniuses", the above differences can generally only mean one thing:
G2, as a club, lagged behind SKT in all aspects, from training to tactics to development. They were the opponents that were swept by them that spring.

Suddenly, a gloomy atmosphere began to linger among major LEC fan communities.

They could accept that G2 lost to the increasingly unsolvable championship zone LPL, and to the recognized strong teams such as Jia Shi Blue Rain and Fan Hua. Even if they were unable to put up any effective resistance, at least they lost to the top powerhouses and it was not shameful.

It is also possible to accept that after G2’s all-out fight and bloody battle with SKT, they were ultimately defeated due to a single move. In that case, at least G2 had fought hard, and would die standing.

But now, the way G2 lost really revealed a sense of cowardice from beginning to end.

It's just hopeless.

On the LPL side, the atmosphere of watching the game, which was originally a little relaxed, has now become increasingly quiet.

After a long time, Zhang Jiale sighed:

“I was originally hoping that G2 could help us bring out some of SKT’s reserves as much as possible, so that it would be a little easier to prepare for the game.”

"It seems like now we should be worried about whether KT will play all their cards out."
