At the commentary box, Miller, Wawa and Guan Zeyuan, the three LPL gold medal commentators, were already sitting at attention, and their voices echoed in every corner of the venue through the loudspeaker equipment.
"Friends from the audience!" Miller's voice was as passionate and penetrating as ever, "Welcome to the 2021 League of Legends Professional League Summer Finals! The top of the Silver Dragon is just one step away! Today, we will witness together, whether EDG will continue their undefeated dynasty myth, or whether FPX can become a phoenix. Pan, rebuild the glory! "
Happy Baby: "Yes! On one side is EDG, who have not lost a single game in the regular season and dominate the league with absolute dominance; on the other side, they have torn apart countless challengers with their unsolvable mid-jungle linkage and also made it out of the winner's bracket! These two teams represent the top strength of our LPL this year!"
Guan Zeyuan started with his iconic data flow analysis: "From the data point of view, the two teams have completely different styles. EDG's average game time and dragon control rate both rank first in the league, reflecting their unparalleled operational capabilities. And FPX, their top ten The five-minute economic lead, first blood rate and Rift Herald control rate are the first in the league. This is destined to be the ultimate collision!" With the opening ceremony's gorgeous light show and AR special effects performance, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to the first climax.
Amidst the roaring and tsunami-like shouts, the players from both sides packed up their equipment and entered the final ban-choice session.
In the first game of BO5, FPX was on the blue side with priority, and EDG was on the red side.
The game starts from the first second of BP.
"Okay, we can see that FPX, as the blue side, directly banned LeBlanc, the LeBlanc of Trickery!" Miller's voice immediately entered a high-speed state, "Very decisive! This is absolute respect for Scout's hero pool! Scout's LeBlanc showed terrifying dominance in the playoffs!"
On EDG's side, they banned the rune mage Ryze with a backhand.
Wawa analyzed: "EDG's response is also very clear. They want to restrict Doinb's roaming! Ryze is one of Doinb's signature heroes, and his ultimate move is a very critical part of FPX's "four packs of two" tactical system."
FPX's second hand, banned the blind monk Li Qing, and continued to target Jiejie's early rhythm.
EdG's second move was to ban Galio, also for Doinb's support system.
FPX third hand, after thinking for a moment, finally gave the forbidden pick position to the future guardian Jace!
"Jace has also been banned!" Guan Zeyuan said, "FPX's fear of Mo players has gone deep into their bones! In the first three moves, they targeted EDG's core heroes in the middle, wild, and top positions respectively!"
EDG banned German General Manager Xin Zhao in the last move, completely blocking the early strong heroes in the jungle position.
The first round of the ban is over, and the tactical intentions of both sides have begun to emerge.
“Okay, now it’s the blue side FPX’s turn to make the first-hand selection!”
With almost no hesitation, the first floor of FPX locked up the Demacian prince Jarvan IV for jungler Tian!
"Prince!" Miller's eyes lit up, "Tian got this team-opening jungler, which has a very high priority in the current version! With Doinb's roaming, FPX's attack horn has sounded!"
Now, the pressure is on EDG.
· On the first and second floors of EDG, after a short period of communication within the team, they quickly locked in two heroes.
Explorer Ezreal, and Huan Lingluo!
"Ezreal Gallo!" Wawa said, "EDG's bottom lane combination is very smart! Viper's Ezreal has a strong self-protection ability and can handle FPX's strong attack very well. Meiko's Rakan, on the other hand, has both team initiating and protection, and is very flexible!"
It's FPX's turn to choose the second and third floors.
They decisively locked up Kaisha, the daughter of the void, and Vegus, the messenger of the melancholy cloud!
"Kasagawe Gusi!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed, "Lwx got the best rushing shooter, and Doinb chose this mid laner mage who is not afraid of rushing! Wei Gusi's passive can interrupt Luo's entry, and her ultimate skill can provide super long-distance support! FPX's midfielder auxiliary linkage system is already half-formed!"
The second round of banning begins.
In the fourth hand, EDG banned Card Master. In the fifth hand, they banned Silas and continued to target Doinb.
FPX’s fourth move disabled Gwen, the Messenger of the Cloud, and its fifth move disabled Eternal Nightmare and continued to block Su Mo’s hero pool.
"FPX has banned three top laners!" Miller's voice was filled with a hint of exclamation. "They have made it clear that today they will never let player Mo get any hero that can exert absolute pressure online!"
Now, the attention of the whole audience is focused on the remaining choices of both sides.
FPX is on the fourth floor and chose Deep Sea Titan to assist Crisp.
· On the fourth floor of EDG, mechanical pioneer Victor was selected for the mid laner Scout.
Now, only the top units of both sides are left, as well as EDG's last choice.
With much anticipation, FPX’s fifth floor locked Gragas Gragas for their champion top laner Nuguri!
"Wine Barrel!" Wawa said, "A very stable choice! Nuguri's barrel can resist and hit, has recovery and wave clearing, and the ultimate move can also destroy the formation. It can be said to be a snake oil choice. Now, all the pressure is on EDG, especially player Mo , what kind of hero will he choose to deal with FPX’s aggressive lineup? ”
In EDG’s team voice, Abramovich’s voice sounded calmly: “Brother Mozi, they have banned a few of your heroes, this... what do you want to play?”
Su Mo's lips curved up in amusement, and he spoke lazily: "Since they are so afraid of my online advantage, then... I'll choose something they would never expect."
Amidst the intense anticipation, on the fifth floor of EDG, the hero's portrait began to flash rapidly.
Finally, the picture is frozen.
A short yordle wearing goggles, with fluffy white hair, appeared on the big screen.
The great inventor——Heimerdinger!
Big head!
The moment the hero was locked, the scene fell into a dead silence for three seconds, and then a violent uproar broke out!
"What?!" At the commentary table, Miller's eyes widened, "Big head? On the unit! On the stage of the LPL finals! Player Mo took out a... big head!"
Baby also shouted: "What understanding is this! Oh my God! I have been commentating the game for so many years, except for Brother Mo Zi, I have never seen anyone dare to take this hero on the top lane. Is he announcing to everyone that the hero pool has no meaning to me?!"
Guan Zeyuan forced himself to calm down and tried to analyze from a tactical level: "But... if you think about it carefully, this choice seems to... make some sense! What is the core of FPX's tactics? It is to abandon the top lane, and the midfielder and jungler will link up to seize the bottom lane! As for the hero Big Head, he doesn’t need teammates at all! He only needs to place three turrets under his defense tower to form an absolutely safe zone! "
This choice instantly aroused heated discussion!
The barrages on major live broadcast platforms have been completely overwhelmed by question marks and "outrageous".
At the FPX battle seat, Nuguri looked at the jumping yordle opposite, his brows knitted together tightly.
He had imagined countless possibilities for laning, but he never thought that he would face such an unreasonable lane tyrant.
The final lineup is determined:
Blue side FPX:
Top laner: Gragas - Gragas (Nuguri) ——Vegus (Doinb)
Sagittarius: Daughter of the Void——Ka'Sa (Lwx)
Support: Titan of the Deep—Nautilus (Crisp)
Red Square EDG:
Top order: The great inventor——Heimerdinger
Jungler: Embrace of Pain - Evelynn
Mid laner: Mechanical Herald - Victor
Marksman: Explorer - Ezreal
Support: Phantom Ling - Luo
"The lineups of both sides have settled!" Miller concluded, "An unprecedented duel. ! FPX came up with a strong midfielder system that they are most familiar with, targeting EDG's bottom lane! And EDG used an unheard of top laner to build an indestructible top lane fortress, and at the same time chose a three-core development lineup! The key to this game is whether FPX's spear can completely crush them before their shield is fully formed! ”
As the female system voice of "Welcome to Summoner's Rift" sounded, the first game of the much-anticipated finals officially kicked off!
"The game begins!" Miller's voice suddenly rose, "We can see that the five FPX players did not choose the regular start! The five of them teamed up and directly invaded EDG's blue lower jungle area! They are going to fight at the first level!"
In FPX's team voice, Doinb's voice The sound was full of passion and incitement: "Go, go, go! Fight them at level one! Don't give them a chance to grow steadily! Xiaotian, you go first!"
However, EDG’s response is also watertight!
"When Meiko's Luo went out at level one, he inserted an ornament eye at the entrance of the river grass!" Wawa said, "This eye position is so critical! FPX's invasion intention was clearly seen by EDG!"
In EDG's team voice, Meik o's voice sounded: "They are here, five of them! Jiejie, don't go there, go directly to the jungle! Brother Mozi, be careful!" Su Mo smiled and said, "If they want to fight, just fight with them. Jiejie, you lure them over, I have prepared some good things for them in the Triangle Grass."
Just as the five FPX people were about to step into the river, Su Mo's Heimerdinger had already placed three turrets Q in the triangular grass near the blue square defense tower in a Z-shaped formation!
Tian and Crisp, who were walking at the front, had just stepped into the triangle grass!
"Buzz!"
Three turrets were activated instantly, and the blue laser rays, like three deadly scalpels, accurately cut on the prince and the Titan!
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Doinb not only did not retreat, but issued a more radical order!
Crisp's Titan turned around and hooked, accurately hitting Meiko who came to support him!
Legion one group, explode instantly!
Jiejie’s Evelyn’s Q skill was launched, and Viper’s Ezreal was also pulling from behind with her Q skill!
The battlefield instantly fell into the most chaotic strangulation!
However, everyone in FPX ignored the three turrets with crazy output in the corners!
Their damage is ridiculously high at level one!
Tian's prince's blood volume dropped rapidly, and he was forced to hand over and flash back!
As for Doinb's Vigus, because she moved slightly forward, she was attacked by the turret and other people. Her health bottomed out in an instant, and she hurriedly flashed.
First blood, won by Scout’s Victor!
"We won! EDG played a perfect 0-for-1 wave!" Miller said, "Brother Mozi, a big guy, worked wonders in the first-level regiment! He used three turrets to perfectly divide the battlefield and deal tons of damage! FPX's first-level regiment invaded and hit the iron plate!"
There was dead silence in FPX's team voice.
Doinb looked at his gray screen, the expression on his face was full of disbelief.
Su Mo's Heimerdinger, with the help of his teammates, calmly took away FPX's Lanba Talisman, and then hummed a little tune and staggered onto the road.
Just one minute into the game, the script of the game has already developed crazily in a direction that no one expected.
The unexpected defeat of the first-level team was like a hammer on FPX’s head.
Doinb's death not only gave him first blood, but also gave him precious flash, and Tian's prince was also forced to flash to escape.
· On EDG's side, Su Mo's boss was not only safe, but he also took away FPX's Lan Ba Talisman.
With the ebb and flow of one thing and another, when the two top laners officially met online, the balance had already tilted visible to the naked eye.
As Miller said, when Nuguri's wine barrel twisted his fat body awkwardly and cautiously walked to the line, what greeted him was the fort array that Su Mo had already laid out.
I saw Su Mo controlling his big head unhurriedly, and placed three [Hextech micro-turrets] in a perfect equilateral triangle on the edge of the grass near the side of his defense tower and in the center of the intersection of the military lines.
These three forts formed an absolute fire coverage area, firmly controlling half of the military line.
Nuguri feels a little uncomfortable.
If he wants to step forward to hit the target, he must enter the range of the turret.
He wanted to use the Q skill [Rolling Wine Barrel] to blow up the turret, but the HP of the big turret was not low, and a wine barrel could not be blown up at all...
This was a dead end.
"Nuguri feels so uncomfortable right now!" Watana looked at the suffocating laning scene on the screen and sighed. "He was locked in position by Mo's three turrets. Let alone the last hit, he didn't even dare to step into the experience area. Mo didn't even have to do anything. Just standing there was enough to make Nuguri feel desperate."
He did not take the initiative to consume Nuguri, but stood quietly in the center of his turret position, using basic attacks to accurately destroy every minion with remaining health.
While finishing the last hit, he moved forward to suppress it, interfering with the last hit of the wine barrel.
Su Mo quickly reached level two and decisively clicked on the E skill.
As long as the wine barrel dares to come over, he can use E to stun him and consume him. (End of chapter)
