Chapter 165 The winner is decided
"What a shame. We were looking forward to the finals."
"It's an honorable defeat. I think we played with our own momentum. Looking at it this way, the Korean team gave us an illusion yesterday. Today is different."
"Indeed, it's not bad for the provincial team to win a bronze medal."
Half an hour later.
"Let's go."
Seeing the staff coming over, Zhu Kai stood up and greeted everyone.
In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller were a little nervous. They were not like Wang Duoduo and Gugu who already had experience.
Always remind yourself not to say the wrong thing.
"First of all, congratulations to the South Korean team for advancing to the finals. Next up is the match between the Chinese team and the Indian national team."
Miller: "For the Chinese team, this game can only be won and not lost. From yesterday's game, we can see that the Indian players are a little different from us in some hero selections. I think this is an advantage for the Chinese team."
"Yes, just to send a message."
In the Korean team's lounge, they did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the room to watch the game before leaving.
Although the match between China and India is probably of little reference value, it is better than nothing. Tomorrow is the final, and who knows what we may see today.
When it comes to BP, Kouma is convinced. How did India make it to the semi-finals?
The red team released all Kai'Sa and Maokai'Triumph, and did not care about forcing the support in the second round, giving the Chinese team such a top-level lineup, and basically they won as soon as they chose it.
What can you see from this?
I was so disappointed that I couldn't resist watching the first part, but I found it was not interesting at all.
If you have this much time, you might as well go back and practice a few more times.
However, Kouma has some new opinions about the mid laner Bighand.
In the first game, the Chinese team banned five mid laners in a row. India's mid laners are pretty good and their scores in the Korean server are not low, and he knew this as well.
But there is no need to target it in this way.
Moreover, it seems that Bighand, as the most popular professional player nowadays, has no baggage at all.
How is it possible that top professional players have no baggage?
He dared to say that not only Chovy, but even Faker could not ban the five opposing mid laners so comfortably.
“That’s very respectful.”
Keria smiled, trying to lighten the atmosphere in the locker room.
But seeing that big brother Faker and coach Kouma both had serious faces, he just laughed awkwardly.
Although banning someone like this may not seem like a big deal to people in the circle, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, it is not much different from admitting defeat.
It’s okay to beat other people, but is an Indian worth bighand’s actions?
You are the representative of our region this year.
Now, some comments on the Internet have begun to be sarcastic and mocking.
Even the LPL audience couldn't understand it.
"Huh? Is it so stressful to beat an Asan Xia Shen?"
"The Indian mid laner was killed by Ryze even though he was playing Tristana."
"Indeed, he's just a tadpole, why do you want to ban him like this?"
"Zhu Kaichun, you are deliberately disgusting me."
"You wouldn't have brought yourself into this, would you? That's why you banned people like this."
"Zhu Kai apologizes, NMD."
But this time, everyone really misunderstood Zhu Kai.
Zhu Kai really didn't take India seriously, as he originally thought that he had a 100% chance of winning.
Xia Sen took the initiative to propose this kind of ban after the first round.
The reason why we ban three mid laners in the first round is because we know that the opponent's mid laner is a hero. When we see that he doesn't play a hero in the first round, there is no need to let you go in the second round.
Sometimes, if you want to counter a position, you must have the matching conditions.
It was indeed the case. The Indian team's mid laner took out Annie, but he didn't know the range of his ultimate and kept missing it, which made everyone laugh.
As for what the outside world would think, Xia Sen had never considered it. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care.
As long as you can win.
In the second game, India was not to be outdone and banned five mid laners as well. This resulted in all ten mid laners being gone, which also meant that Bighand was going to have to do some fancy moves.
Seeing this, Kouma was already thinking about whether to leave, especially when he saw Xia Sen locking down Lucian.
He knew that it was okay to play Lucian in the mid lane, but it was too difficult to really make him effective. Ever since Lucian's solo lane benefits were cut at the beginning of the year, very few people played him anymore.
LCK Xiu Mei played two games, and then it was LPL's Xia Sen's turn.
He didn't believe he would dare to use Lucian in tomorrow's final.
Unlike Kouma, Chovy seemed very excited. Lucian vs. Stoneman, this matchup was quite abstract in the middle lane.
Wawa: "Xia Sen chose to use the hero Lucian. Although it was unreasonable, there was really no other choice on the field."
"Yes, the Indian team has taken out the stone man."
The two lineups are as follows.
China team (blue) Gragas, Maokai, Lucian, Kaisa and Titan in bottom lane.
The Indian team (red) has Crocodile, Lee Sin, Malphite, and Zelie and Minotaur in the bottom lane.
enter the game.
Xia Sen chose the longsword and three red potions to fight the stone man, especially this kind of comet stone man. Doran's Blade cannot suck it up in the early stage, so using three red potions to force suppression is a good choice.
In terms of talents, Xia Sen chose Ellie as the main system and Domination and Bloodthirst as the secondary system, which is very useful for frequent blood exchanges.
"Go!" Xun was very excited. With this lineup, they had to enter the jungle at level 1.
the other side.
The Indian team was still a little dazed, and even their positioning was very loose.
Without any surprise, the Chinese team occupied the red side's blue zone position and successfully exchanged the jungle area. In this way, Jack and meiko in the bottom lane could face off without any pressure.
"Take the pressure on the top lane first, this time we defeated Zeli."
Bin: "It's okay, I can fight two at once."
"Awesome!" At level one, Gragas learned E in the top lane, and Crocodile wanted to use AQ, but he was pushed away by Gragas just as he stepped forward. Bin didn't greedily use the A, and left after using E, so Crocodile's Q was in vain.
In this way, Gragas can attack the soldiers without any pressure and even have a chance to get the second place.
In the middle lane, Xia Sen maintained a very good position, slowly pushing the line and interspersing Q, temporarily not giving the Stone Man a chance to consume. After grabbing the second, Lucian E moved forward, and Stone Man turned around and Q when he saw this, but Lucian pulled back after E, and the Stone Man couldn't reach Q and clicked the mouse back to the tower. At this time, Lucian turned back and fired two shots, walked to the right, and fired a Q that pierced through the soldiers.
"The lava monster is about to take the red potion. Xia Sen's level 1 handling was very good, mainly because the pulling was done so well!"
After a few minutes, the camera returned to the center again.
The Stoneman's health is already unhealthy, and Lucian only has enough mana for one set of skills left.
It’s not difficult for the Stone Man to fight Lucian, as long as he can hit him with Q. But Asan also admitted that it’s just very damn difficult to hit him with Q.
Not to mention that he doesn't give anyone position, if he can hit them with his Q, Lucian will definitely come up and use a big attack.
Kouma was a little impressed by Xia Sen's skills. Lucian's normal attack has a range of 500 yards, and the Stone Man's Q has a range of 625 yards. Logically speaking, this kind of pulling of the Stone Man should give him an advantage, but Xia Sen can always grasp the right degree.
Chovy, who had the same idea as him, suddenly said, "The stone man is going to die." He had played Lucian before and he used to love playing him very much. With a strong attack, he was basically invincible in the middle lane.
But because of the version, I didn't continue practicing. After all, this hero was nerfed again and again in the single lane, and he was still too weak to appear in the middle lane, and many mages could beat him.
Looking at the current situation, if the Stone Man is hit by E in the face again, he will be almost dead.
However, the Stoneman's mind is now full of thoughts about what to buy when he returns home after finishing this wave of attacks. A spell power item level 6 might be a good choice.
As a result, Lucian flashed and started with A and Q, but the Stone Man was a beat slow to react, flashed too late, and failed to avoid the Q damage.
Then Lucian used EWA again, fired two shots, and turned around instantly.
The advantage of Lucian's basic attack is that he can tap the ground to cancel the backswing the moment he raises his hand, so there is no need to worry about getting stuck in the basic attack or not being able to fire the second time.
Miller: "Wow, Xia Sen's operation earned him a point. Nice!"
Faker nodded in the background. This kill was quite natural. There was no technical threshold in the operation. The timing was just very good. The Stone Man used Q to eat the minion's stiffness and then flashed AQ. It was a very smooth kill.
Chovy: "Rockman is not very good. In this matchup, if Lucian doesn't give you position, you should keep pushing the lane with W instead of hiding behind. Lucian will get anxious when he is pushed and will naturally give you position."
Although Chovy had never played this game before, as a genius, he sorted out his ideas immediately.
After Lucian grabbed the 6th, the second solo kill followed.
The stone man has been completely broken through and is now starting to turn into a tank.
At 24 minutes.
The head-to-head ratio is 19 to 1.
The scene was filled with the commentator's words "beautiful" again and again.
"This means that the Chinese team has advanced to the finals and will compete with the South Korean team for the gold medal tomorrow."
"Yes, I believe everyone enjoyed today's game. I also want to thank our opponents, the Indian team. They will compete with the Taiwanese team for the bronze medal the day after tomorrow!"
The barrage was filled with congratulations, but there were also some interesting words mixed in.
"Very enjoyable? Not like killing pigs? I feel like I can even play against India."
"Really? You can do this."
"The provincial team has already been selected for the bronze medal, no problem!"
"That's a bit too harsh. What if Ah San's heart is broken?"
"Po Mao? I'm just here to make up the numbers. They're not happy with the public-funded tour. Hangzhou food has to be better than theirs anyway."
"That's true"
After watching the game, LCK viewers are in a much better mood today.
Yesterday, they hoped that today's South Korean team would give them an overwhelming victory, and they did.
Although the Chinese team also crushed the opponent, the opponent was different.
After all, the Taiwanese team has several well-known players, so the two sides are not comparable.
"We played well against the Taiwanese team just now. I hope we can do the same against the Chinese team."
"Just press the middle lane to death."
"It's a bit difficult, but other lanes can break through. Ruler in the bottom lane seems to have never lost against Jack."
"Yes, I trust Ruler."
“Is Lucian in the mid lane really playable?”
"He's a bully hero. If you increase the strength a little, this hero will be no match for you."
"Almost the same, but I don't know whether Faker or Chovy will play in the finals."
The discussion on Korean websites is very heated.
At the Asian Games venue, Xia Sen was invited to be interviewed by Korean media.
Although Bin is very explosive, they are a little hesitant to invite him. Let's find someone with a good personality to calm down first.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate the Chinese team for advancing to the finals, and also congratulate Xia Sen for his outstanding performance in the competition."
Afterwards, the Korean media reporter asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Do you think Lucian is a good choice in the mid lane?"
"Not bad in a way."
"Yesterday, when we interviewed Chen Zebin, he said that when he played solo with you, he often ended up losing, and he also said that you would be a very good player if you played top lane. What do you think about this?"
Xia Sen was confused. Brother Bin said this? He never mentioned it to me.
"Well, our solos are all for training purposes, so the results can't be taken seriously. As for playing top lane, I guess I'll have to start all over again."
Xia Sen shrugged as he said this.
This guy is very humble, and Korean netizens all know it. When he said this, it might really mean that what bin said is right. However, what they are more curious about now is what heroes bighand and binSolo play?
A mage and a warrior?
"Not likely. I think Bighand is using the warrior to fight Bin alone."
"This is a bit scary, isn't it? Is the hero pool so deep?"
"Look at his rank record, he's played almost everything, so just trust him, kid."
"I remember there was a comment before that Chovy would be very good in top lane, but when I look at his solo queue, he basically only plays Aatrox when he fills in top lane, and at most one Quesanti."
It’s over. Now the winner is clear.
He is also the most outstanding mid laner in his own region, but Chovy has a 0-win record in the head-to-head match. He is also invincible in terms of blows, but Chovy only knows how to play Aatrox.
exploded.
