Chapter 196 The semi-finals begin! The end of the jungle!
After the interview, Su Mo went straight back to the lounge.
At this time, the teammates had packed their things and were about to leave. Abramovich came up and greeted:
"Xiao Mo, it's really thanks to your many tricks this time, otherwise we might have been in the top eight again."
"This MSF is quite strange, it is so powerful. Harmful, I thought they were quite easy to deal with before.”
Meiko also smiled and came up to her and said:
“Brother Mo Zi, you are so good at supporting, I feel like I have to learn from you in the future.”
Su Mo responded: “I just know a little bit.”
"You call this a little understanding? If you are so humble, you will make me look stupid." Meiko looked resentful.
Everyone laughed after hearing this, packed up their things and went back together.
Back to the hotel, let’s have dinner together first.
While eating, Su Mo took out his phone and took a look at it. He found that there were many unread messages in the LPL expedition group, so he clicked on it and took a look at it again.
RNG, UZI: "EDG actually asked M0 to play support, what do you think? Isn't he the top laner?"
RNG, Letme: "Will this one be gone?"
RNG丶Ming: "I believe Brother Mo Zi, he is good at everything."
Uzi: "I think it's a bit mysterious."
Ming: "It seems like I'm going to win, I'm playing so hard."
WE丶Xiye: "I wonder, are you so invincible? The other side's lower lane was directly penetrated."
Su Mo put down his cell phone and followed everyone to eat first.
After dinner, everyone in EDG was about to go back to review the game, but they happened to bump into everyone from RNG who had just come over to eat.
The adults on both sides greeted each other.
UZI suddenly came up and said: "What's going on with you? It took so much effort to beat MSF, and we got to the fifth game, which almost made our RNG the only one in the LPL. You are the No. 1 seed." I was able to draw a team like this during the draw, but what can I do if I didn’t? It’s okay. We will play FNC tomorrow. Watch and learn how we beat the European and American teams.”
After the two played for a while, everyone in EDG returned to the hotel.
Abu organized everyone to review and continue training after that.
As for Su Mo, he had already picked up his phone and opened Tieba.
Go to the Anti-Stress Bar and take a look at the current reactions in the forum.
Sure enough, netizens were quite optimistic before, but now they are suddenly pessimistic.
#Is this the strength of LPL’s No. 1 seed? I was almost sent away by the European and American Laobei.
#Who said this year is the year with the greatest hope? It's obviously the smallest year
#I have seen the limit of LPL from EDG, the top four.
#It’s okay, it’s safe for RNG to enter the finals. It seems that RNG has to carry the banner in LPL.
The next day, the game between RNG and FNC is about to begin.
Before going to the scene, everyone in RNG took a special look at EDG, the No. 1 seed, and said that they would win quickly and let everyone see how to compete with Europe and the United States.
Because this game has nothing to do with EDG, everyone in EDG chose to train against the clock instead of watching the game.
However, during the rest time and BP time between training matches, I will still take a curious look.
After the first game, Meiko praised: "RNG seems to have something, it won so quickly."
In the second game, RNG won again.
FNC came back in the third game.
In the fourth game, RNG won again, taking away three to one.
Although it was not three to zero, judging from the process, the strength gap between the two teams was still quite obvious.
Meiko muttered: "Is RNG really that strong? They won't really win the championship this year, right?"
Upon hearing this, Aguang's back felt cold: "If they win the championship, I dare not think about it. Really, we will have no place in the LPL, and we will be ridiculed by RNG fans every day."
Zet said: "It's okay, they may not be able to pass the Dragon Ball level. Besides, it's better for them to win than to win with a stick."
Everyone thought it made sense at first, but the director noticed something was wrong: "You seem to be saying that we will lose to Longzhu. If Longzhu doesn't beat us first, they won't be able to meet RNG."
Zet This is a bit embarrassing, and I accidentally expressed my feelings.
He quickly explained: "That's not what I meant, I was just making a metaphor."
Soon, Su Mo saw the message in the LPL expedition group.
RNG, UZI: "Easy to win! To deal with European and American Laobi, you have to hit them hard and knock them unconscious in the lane. However, this requires high laning ability, not all teams can do it."
RNG, letme: "I feel that it is safe to enter the finals. I hope EDG can also make it to the finals and our LPL team can compete."
At the same time, Su Mo saw that discussions had begun on the Internet about the winning rate of Dragon Ball against RNG in the finals.
It is worth mentioning that many netizens believe that EDG cannot beat Longzhu and SSG cannot beat RNG.
In the next few days, the remaining four semi-final teams are preparing for the semi-finals.
With the exception of Su Mo, of course, he was put on leave again and forced to "relax".
Su Mo had no choice but to go to an Internet cafe outside to surf the Internet...
A few days passed quickly, and the semi-finals began!
On the competition field, in the EDG lounge.
Su Mo was playing with his mobile phone, and everyone else was doing their own thing. Some closed their eyes to relax, some looked at the floor in a daze, and some shook their legs...
At this time, Abu walked up to Su Mo and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Mo, you have to start from the first game today. You can't tolerate any surprises now, you know what I mean."
Su Mo nodded: "Yes, I understand."
"Which position are you going to play? How about playing directly on the road? Dragon Ball top laner Khan is very strong, I don't think Aguang can handle it." Abu suggested.
"This... I'll think about it." Su Mo hadn't received the mission yet, and he wasn't sure whether the system would suddenly give him the mission to go to another route.
"Then you try to tell me as early as possible. Although we have made comprehensive arrangements, it is better to confirm it early."
Because Su Mo's position is uncertain, EDG has made adequate preparations, taking into account the possibility of Su Mo hitting each position, and formulating corresponding BP and tactics.
Of course, what Su Mo chooses is mainly up to him.
This is a tacit understanding that has been formed for a long time.
In Longzhu's lounge, everyone in Longzhu looked relatively relaxed.
Hands crossed, playing with mobile phone, without any tension or pressure, just waiting for the game to start.
At this moment, BDD, who was the mid laner, suddenly said: "Have they not determined the starting lineup yet? This team is also quite strange. They always have to rush to the last moment to determine the starting lineup."
CUZZ dismissed it: "It's because we don't have enough strength. We need to use this kind of routine. We just want to catch the opponent by surprise and make the opponent unprepared. This little thought is easy to see."
BDD nodded: "Speak, I really want to try laning with that Mo. I heard that he has a lot of tricks."
CUZZ shook his head: "He doesn't necessarily play in the middle, but it doesn't matter, in the end. It's a good thing he's not a jungler, otherwise I'll beat him to tears. "
At this time, on EDG's side, Su Mo was watching the rhythm on the Internet. Suddenly, the system voice came:
【CUZZ was detected to challenge the host, the hidden task was activated:
Task 1: Accept the challenge, choose the jungle position, use a random hero, and destroy the opponent's mentality. Reward: 1 Ultimate Proficiency Card.
Mission 2: Accept the challenge, choose the mid laner position, target the jungle area with the jungler, and break the opponent's jungler's mentality. Reward: 1000 ultimate torture points
Mission 3: Refuse the challenge, find excuses not to play, hang the exemption card, reward title: As timid as a mouse]
Here it comes!
"I'll do the jungle." Su Mo stood up and said.
The factory director looked over and said, "Huh? Why? Can't you play the top lane?"
A Guang echoed: "That's right, Brother Mozi, why don't you play the top lane."
Zet: "Brother Mozi, play the bottom lane, support! Help me!"
Meiko looked over: "What do you mean? You dislike me, right?"
Zet quickly changed his words: "Ah... no, I mean... I'm afraid you will be tired. Look at how tiring we have been playing for nearly a month."
Su Mo shook his head and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. I will just play the jungle position. You can rest for a round first."
Abu then said, "Okay, that's it. If that’s the case, then just follow what Xiao Mo said.”
Abu directly helped the factory director make the decision. The factory director was dumbfounded. He was the leader of EDG, but he was pushed to the bench so easily, right?
Is there any more heavenly justice?
At the competition site, in the commentary box, Wawa, Miller, and Rita were ready.
Zhijianwawa explained: "Dear audience friends, what is about to be held is the semi-finals of this S competition. The No. 1 seed EDG from the LPL division will face the No. 1 seed Longzhu from the LCK division. The two teams represent the strongest strength in their respective divisions to a certain extent. This game is very crucial."
Miller continued: "No. Wrong, judging from the current state of the two teams, I feel that Longzhu is in better shape. EDG always feels that it is not very stable, but it doesn't matter. As long as Brother Mozi plays, it shouldn't be a big problem. "
Rita reminded: "Now EDG's starting lineup for the first game has been announced, and Brother Mozi is in the jungle position!"
On the competition field, the host came on the stage. After a brief opening, he invited the players to come on stage: "Now, let us welcome the number one seed from the LPL division, E! D! G!"
The five EDG players stepped onto the stage one after another, and the data of the five people appeared on the big screen.
The moment Su Mo appeared on the stage, the EDG fans at the scene were all excited:
"Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"
Many people were actually worried that EDG would be busy at this time and not let Su Mo come up.
So they could feel relieved when they saw Su Mo coming up.
After everyone from EDG appeared, it was Dragon Ball's turn. Under the welcome of the host, the starting five players of Dragon Ball appeared on the stage!
The LCK fans at the scene cheered in unison:
"Dragon Ball! Dragon Ball! Dragon Ball!"
After SKT was eliminated, some SKT fans had no choice but to support Dragon Ball. After all, in their view, SSG was someone they couldn't help.
So now it seems that there are many people supporting Dragon Ball.
After the two players appeared, they faced each other in the middle of the stage. Su Mo faced CUZZ and shook hands.
CUZZ said: "You really dare to come to the jungle, don't you think I'm as easy to fight as a little peanut, do you?"
Su Mo smiled: "If it weren't for your big mouth, I wouldn't even come to the jungle, see you in the wild."
CUZZ was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Su Mo meant.
Su Mo of course would not explain it to him.
After shaking hands, the two parties turned and walked towards their respective seats. Su Mo sat down and put on his headphones.
Both sides are ready to enter the BP session of the first game.
In this game, EDG is on the red side and Dragon Ball is on the blue side.
Ban hero link:
EDG: Rambo, Jace, Gnar.
LZ: big tree, big bug, careful.
Wawa explained upon seeing this: "Both sides chose to target the top lane, but the details are different. Longzhu does not want Mouse to mess around in the top lane, and all the top laners who can mix are banned."
"EDG is aimed at Khan's relatively strong top laner to reduce the pressure on Mouse. Although the effect should not be huge, it can be reduced a little bit."
Enter the hero selection stage.
The blue square dragon ball locks Syndra on the first floor.
Handwa explained: "Very decisive, BDD player. Syndra is his signature hero and has strong line pressure. Now he has it on the first floor, which proves that he is not afraid of being backed up by Counter. You can choose whatever you want."
Miller continued: "In the current version, there is no hero in the middle lane that can be regarded as Conte Syndra. Unless you take out a very unpopular hero like Yasuo, and it takes a lot of proficiency, otherwise at most it will develop peacefully with Syndra, and it is difficult to have a chance to suppress it."
EDG locked Xia Luo's bottom lane combination on the first and second floors.
Rita explained: "Xia Luo is a very popular combination in the current version. It is strong in both laning and team play. If you can get this combination, the bottom lane should not be a big problem, and Xayah has the ability to save life. After level 6, the bottom lane should be safer and will not be jumped over."
Handwa analyzed: "When the opponent is Xia Luo, choose Dazui and Lulu. The Dragon Ball duo is very confident in their laning ability. This is a laning combination with a weak backhand."
It was EDG's turn again. EDG locked the prince's BP on the third floor to enter the second round.
·EDG added Kenan, Crocodile.
And Dragon Ball added Clockwork and Rock Bird.
EDG got Ryze on the fourth floor.
Rita explained: "EDG gave the counter position on the fifth floor to the jungle position, which is very crucial. I am looking forward to what heroes Brother Mozi can come up with."
It was Dragon Ball's turn again, and Dragon Ball locked Leopard Girl and Troll on the fourth and fifth floors.
Seeing that the leopard girl was selected, the director gave CUZZ a close-up of his expression. At this time, CUZZ’s mouth corners raised, as if he had imagined the scene of Su Mo being chased and beaten by him in the jungle.
Handwa explained: "There is something special about Leopard Girl's choice in this move. It feels like she is rushing to blast the jungle. In this game, Brother Mo's jungle is not easy to handle, because the Dragon Ball lane has very strong heroes except for the bottom lane."
"If the hero in the jungle is at a disadvantage, and both the middle and upper lines are at a disadvantage, it will be difficult to defend the jungle."
At this time, there was still EDG's jungler left, and the director gave Su Mo a close-up.
Suddenly, EDG showed a Doombringer on the fifth floor, and then locked it!
The lineups of both sides have been determined:
Red side EDG: top laner Prince, jungler Doomsday, mid laner Ryze, ADC Xayah, assist Luo
Blue side LZ: top laner Troll, jungler Leopard Girl, mid laner Syndra, ADC Big Mouth, assistant Lulu
Seeing this scene, Wawa was surprised: "Doomsday? Isn't this wrong? Doomsday met Leopard Girl in the jungle and was bullied to death? And this is a competition. It's not easy for Doomsday to find an angle where he can jump to his ultimate move. The field of vision in the competition is better."
Miller shook his head: "I really don't understand this, I have no idea what EDG is thinking."
