I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 172-The final begins, old rivals!
"Bang's condition is a little off."

Imp shrugged.

After playing against them, Bang's condition was a bit problematic.

As the core of the team, Bang's condition declined, resulting in a decrease in the team's carrying ability.

Facing the CLG team, which also focuses on the bottom lane, they naturally fell into a disadvantage.

What Yuan Shen didn’t know was that after losing to Flash Wolves, Bang was again bullied online in China.

The public opinion in LCK in the past six months has almost drowned Bang.

From the defeat in the S5 World Championship to now, Bang seems to have become the biggest sinner in LCK.

……

The extra game between QG and SKT will start soon.

Both sides have reasons not to lose.

SKT needs time to adjust their form and does not want to face Flash Wolves too early.

This is especially true for QG.

With Flash Wolves around, they have almost no chance of winning the championship.

Runner-up is the best result they expected.

The difference between the runner-up and the top four is not just in ranking, but also in prize money, fame, sponsors, fan economy and other off-field things.

To be honest, SKT's upset this time, besides the players' poor performance, there is another reason, that is, the coaching staff has also become inflated.

Kkoma is indeed a legendary coach, but he is not perfect.

His achievements in BP tactics sometimes seem particularly stubborn and have major flaws.

His real strength lies in cultivating players' self-confidence and adjusting the atmosphere among team members.

This time, Kkoma was also stubborn.

In order to deal with Flash Wolves, they wanted to hide things, including their ultimate skills.

Throughout the entire group stage, except for when facing Flash Wolves, SKT brought out some new things. When facing other teams, SKT's team and lineup were very conventional, showing an attitude that my hard power is stronger than yours and I can win by playing normally.

The results of it?
The core player Bang's condition suddenly declined, the team's new top and jungler's running-in problems were exposed, and the enemy team continued to improve, and their condition was off the charts...

Just like RNG in the S8 group stage, many people outside are saying that SKT is hiding things and has caused problems.

In desperation, SKT finally dared not hide.

They really brought out their best system, with jungler Bengi coming on the court.

Moreover, the lineup selected by SKT in this game made many people look strange.

Top lane Ekko, jungle Graves, mid lane Old Man of Time, bottom lane Lulu, support——

Soraka, the child of the stars.

The hero Saya was used by someone during the S5 World Championship. The reason for this was that she could enhance the top laner after level .

A sudden big move to add blood can likely turn defeat into victory for your own top laner, causing the enemy top laner to curse out loud.

This hero was reworked some time ago. His Q skill was turned into a powerful consumption skill, and his E skill can also silence the opponent. His online suppression ability is so strong that some people even developed a mid-lane healer and a top-lane healer strategy. He has suddenly become a popular hero in the casual games.

However, in professional leagues, the appearance rate of nannies is actually not high.

Because this hero cannot take the initiative and cannot cooperate with the jungler, this goes against the core idea of ​​the version's linkage between the jungler and the support.

On the contrary, because the nurse has strong suppression power, short legs and no displacement, she must be taken care of by her own jungler, otherwise she will easily be caught by the opponent.

In short, a bit of a cancer.

Just like Draven and Jayce, if I choose them as junglers, the game must revolve around me, otherwise they will be defeated.

However, the laning ability of the hero, the nurse, in this version is really strong.

Standing behind a hero like Draven, the healing power can even allow Draven to kill all the opponents despite the output of two opponents.

Once the incense burner is revealed, the problem becomes even more unsolvable.

This lineup is very familiar to CPL.

Because this is the four-protect-one system that EDG and QG are best at.

With the bottom lane as the core, all the skills are counter-protective.

The mid laner is a functional AP hero, and is paired with a typical teamfight ADC. Isn't this four protecting one?
Since when did SKT become obsessed with four protecting one?
The most impressive thing about the SKT team is that the mid and jungle are invincible.

Especially the mid laner Faker.

As long as this big devil is restricted, SKT's rhythm will be silenced.

In fact, it does.

The core of SKT, the mountain of the team will always be Faker.

Since S4, everyone has been targeting Faker when playing against SKT. Looking at all the games SKT lost, Faker was targeted crazily by the enemy.

SKT's low point in S4 proves that a team cannot have only one core player who can carry the team.

If five people are targeting you, no matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to withstand it.

You need teammates to help share the pressure.

The reason why SKT was strong last year was because in addition to Faker, there was also MaRin who was able to stand out.

Faker also often uses some mixed heroes to protect his teammates, instead of insisting on carrying the game himself.

If you target me, I will protect my teammates.

If you don't target me, I'll just carry you.

This year, SKT still plays with dual cores, but the other core has become the transformed and awakened Bang.

In desperate situation, Bang finally got back to his normal state.

His performance in this game did not disappoint his teammates' trust.

Movement, output, reaction, awareness...

He has all the qualities that a world-class ADC should have.

Moreover, the error rate is infinitely close to zero!

Whether in laning or team fighting, he crushed Uzi.

Bang's performance reminded Yuan Shen of someone.

Smile from S2.

The original smile was famous for not making mistakes.

Throughout the game, Bang's performance was precise and elegant. He did not give the opponent any chance and showed his carry ability to the fullest. It was like a robot playing the game and there was no flaw at all.

At the end of the game, Bang's record was 7-0-4, with the most last hits in the game and a damage conversion ratio that broke the record of this MSI.

Yuan Shen vaguely saw the peak Bang who was praised by everyone as the perfect team battle machine.

"They're so strong! If Bang is still in this state in the knockout stage, it will be hard for us to beat them."

Some details of Bang made Sheshe feel deeply moved.

Imp's playing style was rough to begin with, and it was even more exposed when compared to the precise machine Bang.

When they were playing against Bang before, they thought his error rate was ridiculously low. Now, from a bird's-eye view, it seemed even more outrageous.

Could it be that this person was captured by the Korean E-Sports Association and had his body modified?
Is it really a robot playing on your behalf?

"It's not that exaggerated."

Yuan Shen patted Sheshe's head and said, "There's no such thing as a professional player with zero mistakes in this world. The reason they appear to have no mistakes is not only because they pay more attention to details, but also because their opponents aren't strong enough to catch their mistakes. As long as the pressure is great enough, there's no need to worry about them making mistakes."

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, Wei Shen beside him seemed to be thinking about something.

When he was soloing with Yuan Shen, he felt that Yuan Shen was a brutal laning machine and he couldn't catch his mistakes at all.

Even if there was a mistake, it was proved that it was a bait deliberately thrown out by Yuan Shen for a counterattack.

Various extreme single kill and counter-kill operations, as if all the details and damage were calculated to the extreme.

However, there is no player in this world who never makes mistakes. Even Yuan Shen would occasionally be killed by him.

Under tremendous pressure, mistakes are inevitable.

Even if you are not stressed at all, your body may suddenly want to yawn, so why not close your eyes for a few seconds?
Maybe my mind suddenly wandered and I thought of something else.

In just a few seconds, the opponent might seize the opportunity to turn the tables.

……

The MSI group stage is over, and the final qualifying situation has been completely determined.

FW, CLG, SKT, QG.

Such a result was unexpected by everyone, including Riot officials.

The two CPL teams met in the semi-finals.

In the current competition system, the first place in the group must play against the fourth place in the group, no matter who you are.

Although SKT did not perform well in the group stage, no one would doubt SKT's ability to play BO5.

There is a full five-day rest period between the group stage and the knockout stage.

It just so happens that the working days from Monday to Friday are perfectly transitioned.

The five-day rest period is a period for the four teams to prepare for each other, adjust tactics, and adjust the status of the players.

This is also the reason why many people want to complain that the competition system is unfair.

In five days, maybe SKT will get back to normal?
Maybe someone in the Flash Wolves has a headache or a fever, and is in bad shape again?
Time passed in the blink of an eye. In five days, Flash Wolves only did one thing.

That is to get EDG to play a practice match.

SKT used the four-protect-one system that they had pulled out in the group stage, and they have many tactics and ideas that need to be tested.

It's Friday night again, and the nine-to-five office workers and students finally have a weekend off.

Normally, many people would choose to go out with friends for a drink, a barbecue, or play games.

But now, everyone, without exception, clicked on the live broadcast channel and stayed in front of the computer.

SKT, Flash Wolves.

Whether these two teams can defeat their respective opponents and reach the finals has become the biggest highlight of this MSI semi-finals!
Flash Wolves won the championship last year and are still brilliant this year. Needless to say, the team is the favorite to win the championship in everyone's mind.

As for SKT, although their performance in the group stage was not good and the players' condition was questionable, no one would doubt the LCK team's combat effectiveness and ability to adjust their condition in BO5, which is the authority they have established in the past few years.

Five days, under the rigorous and scientific management system of the LCK team, are enough to complete the transformation of their mentality and restore them to their best condition.

The showdown between Yuan Shen and Faker, the two players with the largest number of fans in the world, is also something that many people are looking forward to.

Now, almost everyone is certain that no matter whether it is Flash Wolves or SKT, as long as they can win the semi-finals, the final will be a head-to-head peak showdown.

The result of the game was just as people expected.

Flash Wolves defeated QG 3-1.

SKT also defeated CLG with the same score.

The number one seeds from the two major regions of China and South Korea successfully met in the finals.

Both teams are preparing for the game with all their strength, especially the Flash Wolves. From the start of MSI to now, they have only had one enemy, and that is SKT.

No one except SKT can put enough pressure on them.

Even though SKT didn't perform well in the group stage, the Flash Wolves didn't underestimate them.

SKT also has many tactics and ideas to test out regarding the four-protect-one system that they used in the group stage.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

It's Friday night again, and the nine-to-five office workers and students have finally waited for the weekend.

Normally, many people would choose to go out with friends for a drink, eat some skewers, or play games, but now they all click on the live broadcast channel and stay in front of the computer without exception.

SKT vs. Flash Wolves.

This is the biggest highlight of this MSI.

There is no need to say much about Flash Wolves. They won the championship last year and are still as glorious this year. They are the favorite to win the championship in everyone's mind.

As for SKT, although they suffered several setbacks in the group stage and the players seemed to be in poor condition, no one would doubt the LCK team's combat effectiveness and ability to adjust their condition in BO5, which is the authority they have established in the past three years.

Five days, under the LCK team's rigorous and scientific management system, are enough for them to complete their mental transformation and return to their best condition.

The showdown between Yuan Shen and Faker, the two players with the most fans in the world, is also highly anticipated.

Before the game starts, there is the customary pre-game trash talk session.

Players from both teams appeared on camera and showed off their own sexy words.

Bang: "Flash Wolves is a very strong team. They undoubtedly have the strength to win the championship... But unfortunately, they met me. Today I will let them taste the taste of defeat."

Wolf: "Imp has been in great form this year. He's an opponent that makes me a little more cautious, but his support is not as good as Imp's. Compared to Flash Wolves' top, mid, and jungle, their bottom lane combination is their biggest weakness."

Sheshe waved his hand. "Bang is indeed very strong. We value him very much. We also thank him for his small help in helping us win the World Championship last year."

Faker said very seriously: "GODV is indeed very strong, but I have already proved that I am better than Perkz. This shows that Yuanshen sometimes makes mistakes in judging people. Now I want to prove that I am better than GODV!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the CPL audience couldn't help but smile.

Damn, not only did Zhou Zhiruo scratch Zhu'er's face, she also wants to compete with Zhao Min, right?
It’s so good!
Wei Shen didn't comment on Faker's words, but clenched his fist and said, "I can't wait to kill Faker again."

Blank: "The era of the top laner is over. Junglers like Karsa who only rely on the top lane advantage to set the tempo will learn a real lesson today."

Karsa shrugged. "Blank might have forgotten that he's just an LSPL jungler. As an old Chinese saying goes, he's a frog in a well, unable to see the blue sky."

……

After the trash talk session, Wawa and Miller appeared on the big screen.

"Welcome to the 2016 League of Legends MSI finals. I'm Wawa."

"Hi, my name is Miller."

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Duoduo!"

For any important matches, CPL officials tend to entrust the commentary to the old duo, Haier Brothers.

The commentary of the two cannot be said to be the most interesting, but their style is definitely the most stable, the most able to mobilize the atmosphere, and they will not go wrong in important occasions.

Especially since MSI is being held in Shanghai this year, any mistake could become an international joke.

It would also be safer to let two veterans guide the newcomer Wang Duoduo.
