Facing EDG’s menacing five-man team, FPX simply couldn’t resist it.
The huge economic gap is small, and they are crushed and killed.
EDG ended the game directly from the bottom lane.
【VICTORY】
A huge victory emblem slowly appeared in the center of the screen among the five EDG players.
「Nice!」
Jiejie was the first to take off his headphones, hugged Scout who was still thinking about it next to him, and shook him vigorously.
Meiko and Viper also looked at each other and smiled, high-fiving each other in celebration, with relaxed expressions as if what had just ended was just an ordinary qualifying match.
Su Mo slowly leaned back on the chair and stretched.
On the other side of the stage, the FPX battle seat was completely silent.
The air seemed to be solid, making everyone breathless.
Under the guidance of the staff, the two teams walked off the stage and returned to the backstage lounge with completely different moods.
This short ten-minute intermission will determine their fate in the next game.
FPX lounge, the moment the door is closed.
The team members were slumped on the sofa. No one spoke, and even the heavy breathing could be heard clearly.
The head coach held the tactical board and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know where to start.
The failure in the first game was not due to poor execution of tactics or major operational errors.
That is a pure, higher-dimensional crushing.
That top laner was like a nail that could not be removed, completely disrupting all their plans.
"Mine." In the end, Doinb, who was the core of the team, broke the silence, his voice hoarse, "I shouldn't have charged so much in the first group, giving him a too comfortable start."
"No, it's my problem," Nuguri raised his head, with bloodshot eyes, "I'm sorry The line was broken and he developed too comfortably. That hero... I don't know how to deal with it at all. "
"Now is not the time to hold anyone accountable!" The coach finally spoke, his voice was low but very firm, "We don't have time to regret! We only have a few minutes to figure out how to play the second game!"
He walked to the tactical board, took a deep breath, and his tone became extremely solemn.
· The coach’s eyes became sharp, "In the next game, we must bring out what we have at the bottom of the box! We have to force him to play the most conventional game with us! Nuguri, take your most confident hero, I will let Xiaotian help you!"
"Brother Mozi, your big head is too naughty!" Jiejie said with a smile, "I saw Nuguri's wine barrel in the jungle and didn't even dare to eat experience. I almost laughed out loud."
"It's mainly because the first-level team played well," Meiko pushed up her glasses and analyzed. "It directly brought out Doinb's flash, so that he couldn't roam in the early stage, and our rhythm became much more comfortable."
Abu and the factory director also had smiles on their faces.
At this time, Su Mo thought for a while and said: "Let Brother Holy Spear play in the next game. He hasn't been in for a long time, let's show his face."
As soon as these words came out, Abu was stunned for a moment.
Li Xuanjun suddenly raised his head: "Brother Mo Zi, can I?"
"Go," Su Mo patted his shoulder, with a smile on his lips, "Let them see your strength."
Abu and the factory director looked at each other, and then also smiled.
Su Mo already said this, and they had no objection.
Anyway, Su Mo has the answer.
"Okay!" Abu decided immediately, "Then it's settled! Brother Shengqiang, get ready to move a little, you're going to play in the second game! Brother Mozi, watch with us down below."
"No problem." Su Mo readily agreed, walked directly to the sofa behind the coaching bench, and sat down comfortably.
When the news of the substitution was informed to the organizer and announced by the commentator, the audience immediately started to discuss it heatedly.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is rolling like a waterfall:
【? ? ? Substitution in the finals? What kind of aircraft is EDG working on? ]
【Brother Mozi is lazy again? Is this looking down on me, FPX? 】
【Brother Holy Spear is finally on the stage! My youth is back! 】
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Su Mo and the factory director were already sitting safely in front of the game viewing screen in the lounge.
On the huge screen, the main picture of the game and the first-person perspective of the players are clearly presented.
"The FPX side is probably confused." Looking at the expressions of the FPX team members on the screen, the director couldn't help but laugh, "They prepared ten thousand tactics against you, but you just failed."
Su Mo just smiled and said nothing, looking calmly at the BP screen on the screen.
Finally, after a game, the lineups of both sides were determined.
Blue side FPX: top laner Kennen, jungler Foyego, mid laner Ryze, and bottom lane Aphelios and Lulu.
Red side EDG: top laner Stoneman, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane Ezreal Gatam.
"The Stone Man beats Kennen," Su Mo looked at the screen and said, "The Holy Spear's mission is very clear, which is to withstand pressure. Nuguri will definitely fight fiercely and want to regain the ground in the lane."
"That's right," Abramovich nodded, "FPX's lineup focuses on the laning advantage in the top half and Ryze's roaming. They want to open a breakthrough from the top lane, and then radiate to the middle and jungle."
The game begins.
"Brother Holy Spear played very steadily," the director nodded with satisfaction as he watched Li Xuanjun's stone man choose Dolan Shield to go out and immediately set up a defensive position in the river. "He knows what he should do with this move."
On the screen, Nuguri’s Kennen indeed started to suppress the opponent crazily from the first level, taking advantage of his long hands to continuously consume the stone man’s blood.
Li Xuanjun was unmoved and calmly used his Q skill to make up for the long-range soldiers, maintaining his blood volume at a safe level.
"Nuguri is a little impatient," Su Mo said calmly as he watched Kenan's Xin Zhao from Jiejie find a chance to flash because he pressed the line too deep, "He really wanted to prove that he was better than the Holy Spear. Brother Qiang instead gave Jiejie a chance. "
When the time came to six minutes, Doinb's Ryze reached level 6, and he immediately activated his ultimate move, leading jungler Tian's Foyego straight to the bottom lane!
FPX’s classic four-pack two.
The atmosphere in the lounge also became tense.
However, EDG's bottom lane duo showed amazing chemistry and calmness.
Meiko's Tahm predicts the danger in advance, swallows Viper in one gulp, and avoids Lulu's key sheep transformation.
After Viper landed, he pulled out his E skill, and the two of them retreated to the second tower unscathed.
"Beautiful!" The director couldn't help but admire, "Meiko and Viper really have a good understanding of each other."
Su Mo smiled and said, "In this way, Brother Sage will be much more comfortable on the top lane."
As expected, since FPX's focus is entirely on the bottom lane, Brother Sage's stone man has steadily developed to level six on the top lane.
Thirteen minutes into the game, the first wave of large-scale team battles broke out between the two sides fighting for the dragon in the river.
FPX's formation pulled together very well. Nuguri's Kennen circled back and looked for opportunities to enter the field, and was about to form a perfect wave of double-teams.
Just when Nuguri's Kennen activated his ultimate move and turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed into the back row of EDG, the holy gun brother moved!
He flashed directly and appeared on the face of the back row of FPX!
Ultimate move [Unstoppable]!
!!! !!! wealth agonized by the enemy)!
Lwx's Aphelios and Doinb's Ryze were both knocked away!
“NICE!!!” The factory director and Abu stood up from the sofa at the same time and shouted excitedly.
"It's now!"
Scout's enchantress cuts in like a ghost, with a set of skills that go smoothly, and instantly knocks out Aphelios who was knocked away! Jiejie's Xin Zhao also went ahead and stabbed Ryze to the ground!
FPX's team battle was instantly defeated!
· EDG played a perfect team battle of 1 for 4 and took advantage of the situation to take over Xiaolong.
"This collision with Brother Holy Spear will probably crush FPX's championship dream." Su Mo looked at the defeated FPX on the screen and finally showed a smile.
The following game entered the rhythm that EDG is most familiar with.
They took advantage of winning team battles and continued to encroach on FPX's wild area resources and defense towers.
The stone man has become a point that FPX cannot handle.
He doesn't need to deal much damage, he only needs to unleash that devastating ultimate move in a team battle, which is enough to seal the victory.
Twenty-six minutes, EDG won the Baron, took the Baron Buff, and set foot on the high ground of FPX.
The Stone Man took the lead and once again started the team with an impeccable ultimate move, knocking three FPX players away.
Then he played a 0-for-5 extreme group annihilation!
With the explosion of the FPX base crystal, EDG successfully won the second game!
2:0! Match point!
In the lounge, the factory director and Abu excitedly high-fived in celebration.
"It's a beautiful shot!" The factory director smiled with a smile on his face, "Brother Holy Spear, this one is really a sea-fixing needle!"
Su Mo also had a happy smile on his face.
"This kid has been holding it in for too long." The factory director sighed at the side, "This big move has knocked out his depression throughout the season."
Abu rolled his eyes. The eyes under the mirror were full of approval: "This is what I have always emphasized, we EDG are a whole. Everyone can stand up when they are needed. When Brother Mo wants to fish, other people must be able to stand up."
Su Mo just smiled, stood up from the sofa, and stretched: "Let's go and greet our hero."
When the EDG players returned to the lounge, they were greeted by the applause of Su Mo, the factory director and Abu.
"Good fight, Brother Holy Spear." Su Mo handed over a bottle of water.
"Jiejie shouted from the side, "It's 2:0! Match point! Brother Mozi, can't you make it to the third game? Go up and take them away at 3-0, let's go have a supper!"
Abu and the factory director also looked at him, waiting for his decision.
From a tactical perspective, letting Su Mo come on to end the game is the safest choice.
However, Su Mo once again set his sights on Brother Holy Spear and said lazily: "I won't get on. I haven't warmed up since I just sat down. And Brother Holy Gun's hand is feeling hot, so it's a pity to replace him. Let him continue to fight, I believe in him."
This is the match point game in the finals! It is self-evident that the pressure is great.
"What? Don't you dare?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows.
"Dare! How dare you not!" Brother Holy Spear straightened his back instantly, and a rush of blood rushed to the top of his head. Being so trusted by Su Mo, he felt that he was full of strength, "I promise to complete the task!"
Abu and the factory director looked at each other and saw a smile in each other's eyes.
"Okay!" Abramovich said, "Brother Holy Spear, let's continue in the third game!"
...
Different from the relaxed and freehand EDG side, the FPX lounge was indeed a little silent at the moment.
「Bang!」
Doinb punched his thigh, making a dull sound.
“Why can’t we even beat a substitute?” He was a little unwilling.
Nuguri buried his face deeply in his arms, feeling embarrassed.
In the second game, he got Kennen in the counter position, but still failed to gain any advantage in the lane. In the team battle, he was made like a clown by a stone man.
This feeling of frustration almost destroyed his self-confidence.
The coach stood aside, his lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
"...It's not over yet." Jungler Tian slowly raised his head. Although his eyes were full of exhaustion, he had not given up.
"We haven't lost yet." He looked at his teammates and said word by word, "We are FPX, even if we lose, we will spit blood in their faces!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the numb heart of every team member.
Doinb raised his head, looked at the blood in Tian's eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up slowly.
"Xiaotian is right." His voice regained a hint of its former passion, "There will be no tactics in the next game. There is only one word - do it! Let them see how the Phoenix achieves nirvana!"
…
When the players from both sides took to the stage for the third time, the atmosphere at the scene had become a little subtle.
BP starts.
EDG is still on the red side.
FPX's BP became extremely fierce. They gave all three ban positions to Jiejie's wild core hero, making it clear that they wanted to play in the top half.
EdG, on the other hand, still steadily banned support mid laners such as Ryze and Galio.
In the selection process, FPX’s decision-making was surprisingly fast.
On the first floor, lock Kled in seconds!
"Kled!" Miller exclaimed, "Doinb took out his most representative hero! Charge! This is the signal for FPX to sound the clarion call for a general attack!"
Subsequently, jungler Xin Zhao, top laner Jayce, and bottom laner Kaisha and Leona.
A lineup that has the word "offense" written all over its face.
On EDG's side, top laner Jayce, jungler Prince, mid laner Syndra, and bottom laner Jhin Gabulon.
The game begins.
As everyone expected, FPX launched a wave of attacks from the first second.
Doinb’s Kled went straight to the top lane grass at level one to help Nuguri’s Jace grab the line.
Tian's Xin Zhao abandoned all conventional jungle routes and directly E-flashed at level three to force a gank in the middle, forcing Scout Syndra's flash.
"FPX is crazy!" Miller looked at the flashing battle signals on the mini-map. "They completely abandoned the lower half, and the three of them lived in the upper half! The pressure on Brother Holy Gun is too great!"
Jace faced the ruthless military training in the opponent's midfield and upper jungle, and it was extremely difficult to fight.
With six minutes of game time, the top, middle and junglers of FPX gathered together, forced their way over the tower, killed Jace and got first blood.
FPX gained an advantage in the top lane, but the price paid was the absolute disadvantage of the bottom lane and the loss of jungle resources.
Jiejie's prince controlled the first dragon with peace of mind and completely cleared the lower half of FPX's wild area. (End of chapter)
