“Why?” li jingsi asked.
Chen Mo explained,”pro teams now generally value team battles. It’s obvious from the fact that OST even used Amumu as a suicide song.” “To put it bluntly, the OT strategy is still the same old way, but the NRG is already trying a new strategy.”
“Gragas is a champion that is very suitable for invading the jungle. The black of the NRG is also very good, but their mistake is that they didn’t follow this idea and chose the average Icebird in the middle lane.”
“For this round, Kassadin and Orianna, the two champions who are the best at snowballing as junglers, have been banned. However, you can still choose Annie, Carter, or even vampire for the NRG. I can only say that they lost this match because they were too conservative. ”
“I think that in the next round, the NRG will probably realize this mistake, and they will definitely come up with more tricks.”
Even though he was there, Chen Mo still used his phone to watch the live broadcast of the finals.
What touched Chen Mo was that after the loss of the first game, no one typed GG or brainlessly cursed, all of them were “good luck, NPC”.
With so many cheers floating by, it made people feel that the domestic audience really supported this team from the bottom of their hearts.
In the second match, both teams had swapped their blue and red. However, in terms of lineup selection, both teams were still targeting their mid-laner Champions. In fact, the bot team had even banned Gragas, who had performed outstandingly in Black’s previous match.
In the midst of the “ban deathsong” calls, the NPC ignored them and continued to play it.
However, this time, the SOT did not choose to do so. Instead, they directly locked onto the top-laner Jax.
On the other hand, the NRG team had gotten Shenhe and deathsong, while the jungler and support had replaced mundo and sona, bringing out an almost impeccable lineup.
Clearly, both sides had switched playstyles. So had also tried to gain an advantage in the semi-finals, using the relatively new 4 – 1 split push strategy. On the other hand, NRG had seen through their intentions at the first moment and had chosen Shen as their target.
Because of the lineup, both sides did not find a good opportunity in the early stages and could only develop steadily. Although the early stages of the game were a disadvantage for the NRG’s third-string players, they still managed to stabilize their situation.
After nearly 18 minutes, a battle broke out at the top and bottom lanes of both sides!
After Silver’s deathsong used his ulti to help the bottom lane kill Zyra, he rushed to the top lane and stopped the three-man team of mid-laner and upper-laner who were trying to get Shen through the tower.
After Shen gave the big move, Death song’s combat power was off the charts. In addition, mundo, who had opened the big move, had been clingy all this time. They actually successfully exchanged a 0 for 3, and the situation on the field was reversed in an instant!
Although the bot team was also trying to use their points to tie down the enemy, it was difficult for Jax to do anything in front of the well-developed Shen. In the end, by relying on their stronger team strength, the NRG team successfully regained one point!
Silver’s death Song played a crucial role as well. His participation rate with Black’s mundo was 83%, which could be said to be a true mid-laner reviving the entire game.
In the third match, the NRG team returned to the blue team.
This time, OST did not dare to play the death song. After the first two matches, everyone could tell that Silver and Frost were extremely familiar with the death song. Whoever got it would be able to dominate the competition.
However, in a situation where there were only three ban slots, the bot had no choice but to release Orianna in order to ban deathsong. Without any hesitation, the NRG immediately locked her down.
This time, OST had chosen a more team-oriented lineup, while NRG had brought out Orianna, Lee Sin, and Jax, the ultimate violent top-laner and jungler. It was clear that they wanted to crush bot during their development period.
The bot was obviously still farming and waiting for the team battle, but the NRG did not give them any chance at all. In the early game, blind, along with Jax and Orianna, madly invaded the jungle, forcing the bot’s jungler, Scorpion, to run around. In the small-scale team battle that followed, Jax’s jump, stun, and Orianna’s ulti caused even more damage to the seemingly fragile lineup of the bot.
In front of these three, the bot champion was like a piece of paper. In the middle of the match, a snowball had already begun to roll. The NRG team had won the match without any suspense.
After securing the match point, the NRG was only one step away from the S1 World Championship trophy!
In these three games, the two commentators had shouted until they were almost exhausted, but they were also very excited. To be able to witness the domestic team win the championship at this time, whether it was for the audience or the commentators, it was a great honor!
……
The fourth round began. For the OT team, they were already standing on the edge of the cliff. Everyone’s expression was very serious.
They entered the back-up segment again.
After the first few rounds, everyone had realized the importance of the game. The most crucial fourth round would depend on the lineup of both sides!
There were too many Champions that were difficult to deal with on both sides. Three ban slots were not enough, especially for an bot. They had to make a decision.
In the end, bot didn’t choose to ban Mo Ling, nor did they choose to snatch her first. Instead, they chose a lineup that could be said to be an unconventional one: Jess, nightmare, lacus, Ezreal, Lulu.
Seeing this lineup, the vast majority of the audience and the two commentators were a little dumbfounded because this lineup had never appeared on the stage of the world Finals.
However, Chen Mo could clearly feel the intentions of the OT. The POKE stream.
This style had been all the rage in his previous life, but no party had ever brought it out in parallel world. The so-called POKE was to use long-range skills to consume the enemy’s health and establish a huge health advantage before the start of the team battle. From there, they could snatch the map resources and snowball.
Clearly, in this life-and-death battle, the bot could only use their trump card. As long as this lineup could develop, it would definitely cause great trouble for the NRG.
No one knew if the NRG team had seen through their opponent’s intentions. The lineup they had chosen this time was similar to the previous game, with Orianna as the core. The only difference was that after the top-laner Jax was banned, they had chosen Shen, who was easier to support.
In the wild cheers of the audience, the curtain of this crucial battle had been raised!
Not only was the five players of the OT very unconventional in their lineup, but they also very aggressively chose a level one team invasion. After Jayce accelerated everyone in the acceleration gate, he carefully detoured into the red buff area of the NRG to ambush.
Because of this bot formation, Lux, Lulu, and Incubus all had crowd control skills, while Jess and Ezreal could make up for the damage. Once an NRG jungler entered the jungle, it was highly likely that he would be killed by the five of them.
However, the NRG had already placed a Ward in the jungle area of their red buff, and the movements of the five players from the bot were clearly seen.
The five players of the OT were lying in ambush in the bushes between the red buff and the middle lane, while the NRG was also standing under a turret in the middle lane to block their vision. Both sides were very close to each other, but the NRG knew the location of the bot, while the bot did not know where the NRG was.
“The wards of the NRG are very important! Clearly, the NRG knew that the OT had not left and was still waiting! They’re waiting for the OT players to return to the city, then they’ll go and catch the people who are left alone!”
“Can we succeed? There was no one in the OT, but someone had already returned to the city! The NRG is currently booking a place, let’s see if we can book a person who is alone!”
The two commentators were also excited. In the entire world Finals, a level one fight was very rare, and a level one fight that completely understood the opponent’s intentions and completely relied on numbers to fight against the opponent was even more unprecedented!
