Chapter 57 Winner Bracket Finals!

On the second day, everyone arrived at the venue.

Both teams were making final arrangements backstage, and Xia Sen was watching the latest highlights on the electronic screen.

Knight's Neeko flashed behind and made a big five, Xiaohu and Galio roamed around and set the pace, JackeyLove's teamfight output was beautiful, and Ruler locked in a few health points and got a triple kill.
Bighand and Annie also got two solo kills, and Fox showed off his positioning at level 1 and defeated Xiaohu.

The person involved, Xiaohu, opened the webpage of today's game very early. He was feeling very good when seeing his Galio, but in the blink of an eye, he became a background board.

"If we win this BO5 today, we can go to MSI, but I've never been to MSI before!" Coach Xun was very excited.

This year, each region has two spots in the MSI, excluding the foreign cards.

"Are you guys nervous? This is such an important game."

If you count them carefully, among the five people, only Bin has been there and won the championship, so he still looks calm and relaxed now.

In fact, BLG fans have already been opening champagne. Even if they fail in today's game and fall into the loser group against WBG, won't they still win?

If we win we can go to MSI, cool!

Chen Baolun didn't feel too emotional when he saw the director still playing the commercial at 5:10. He watched the home team get there step by step, especially seeing his idol Bighand shine in the LPL.

He felt infinite emotion in his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the abusive words on the barrage.

Take it easy, why are young people so impatient? Isn't it better to just enjoy the game later?

The forum was also extremely lively at this time, with various posts appearing one after another, almost analyzing the underwear of each contestant. Of course, it was only what they thought was the underwear.

on site.

The big screen finally drove away, and the screen began to introduce the final photos and data charts of the major players of both teams.

Everyone discovered that Knight's playoff stats were actually slightly higher than Bighand's, especially the unpopular push rate in the first 15 minutes.

Knight was fully utilized, which means that in the four games against TES, Knight was steadily pushing the midline in every game.
This caused a lot of discussion in the barrage.

Soon, the scene froze to the commentary booth.

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch this playoffs match of top four to top two. The winning team will advance to the finals and secure a spot in the MSI, while the losing team will fall into the loser bracket and compete with WBG for the last spot."

"I'm the commentator Ze Yuan!"

"I am Shenchao."

"I am the guest zoom."

After the two commentators finished reading the opening remarks, Shen Chao asked, "Which team do you think is favored by Brother Guan and Brother Zong today? I believe everyone is waiting for your pre-match predictions."

Guan Zeyuan coughed twice and said, "I definitely support JDG. Everyone has seen how well Ruler performed, right? If nothing goes wrong today, there is still a chance."

zoom: "Is there an accurate score?"

"Well, we win 3:2."

"Objectively speaking, JDG's jungle is definitely an advantage in terms of hard power. JDG can make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. I am still optimistic about them in today's best-of-5 match."

The three commentators were still analyzing the situation, but the sad news had already been conveyed in the barrage of comments.

"Report! In the LCK finals, Gen.G defeated T1 -!"

"Explore again! Report again!"

"I've just finished the investigation and the fight is over. Faker doesn't look too good."

"Nonsense, who can look good in the fifth runner-up position?"

"Does Guan Zeyuan know this news? If he knew, he would jump with excitement."

"Brother, if Ruler wins today, I can't bear to think about his face."

Coincidentally, April 4th ​​is also the LCK Spring Finals, which started at 9 o'clock and has just ended now, so the audience can also watch the LPL seamlessly.

It's hard not to suspect that the two divisions have colluded.

Guan Zeyuan certainly didn’t know about this, but he also looked at the score before going on stage, and from the situation in the last game he knew that Gen.G would win as expected.

The host began to introduce the contestants, and soon both teams took their seats.

Before putting on the headphones, Xia Sen listened to the cheers from below and wondered why there were so many BLG fans that they were somewhat drowning out the cheers from JDG.

He was actually overthinking it. In fact, a considerable number of them were WBG fans. The reason they cheered for BLG was that they hoped JDG would fall into the loser group.

Then WBG will have hope, after all, they won the spring season 2:0, and Xiaohu's performance against Knight was also quite impressive.

As for Xiaohu playing against Bighand? Fans are a little scared.
As long as they can beat JDG, WBG will be able to go to MSI no matter what!

Thinking of this, WBG fans cheered extra hard for BLG at this moment.

Shen Chao said with emotion: "The fans of both teams cheered very loudly."

Zoom also had the same sentiment: "Yeah, I remember when I was in JD, there was a buddy who shouted "boss" loudly."

I kind of miss the time when I was a professional player. Back then, the cheers from fans might not have been so shocking.

But they are undoubtedly pure.

Ten minutes later, the equipment debugging was completed.

Officially enter the bp interface.

JDG prioritized choosing the side and came to the red side, banning Weapon, Ashe, and Kindred.

BLG banned Luo, Ze Li and Monkey.

"What do you mean? They want us to play mid first with this BP."

Tabe is not surprised. The opponent seems to not care about the middle, but actually wants you to go out first. Knight is countering. With Knight's hero pool, he can fully support a bp like Redmi.

If the first three moves are not made, the second round of bans will definitely start the blockade, and JDG will be able to counter anyway on the red side.

"They will take it on the first floor, so let's grab the jungler and support first." Hongmi was very confident.

As expected, BLG locked down Fiora on the first floor.

"Pick Fiora as the first choice. Brother Bin is going to increase the strength of 369." Zoom smacked his lips.

JDG counterattacked and selected the jungler and support of Wei and Lulu.

"Just the cards."

BLG took the Card on the second floor, and the third floor hesitated for a while before choosing Kaisa.

The audience was very confused. What was going on? Kaisa was too weak in the bottom lane. Wasn’t he afraid of facing Ruler playing this?

"Once these three moves are released, BLG will play the side lane, with Twisted Fate and Fiora as the dual laners, and Kai'Sa can use his ultimate to gank people at any time when he occupies the middle lane. It's very scientific, but the premise is that Kai'Sa must push the line first when he occupies the middle lane." Zomm's analysis was very logical.

"Yes, if we don't push the line forward, Kaisa won't dare to fly. If he flies, the tower in the middle will be lost."

This is the role of professional guests, who are much more professional than commentators.

"Cards again?"

Knight frowned. He thought the opponent would use Taliyah. After all, Taliyah was much stronger in team fights than Card and could also limit Vi's entry.

"They want to play solo, never mind. We will group up and press the middle in the mid-game and they won't be able to do that." Hongmi's words were conveyed to everyone through the translator.

After thinking about it, I discussed it with Hongmi.

On the third floor of JDG, Sylas was locked in seconds.

"Sylas is really good. According to opgg, his win rate in this matchup is about 54%."

"Indeed, if you can trade blood in the laning phase and get E, you will make a lot of money, and you can also steal with your ultimate. This will put a lot of pressure on Card."

"Who told him to play the card first? If he does, he will definitely be countered." Xia Sen was not surprised by this. He also guessed that Knight would use Silas.

"In that case, JDG's mid and jungle are very strong. Both of them can carry Conqueror, and they are very fierce in small-scale team battles. It depends on what kind of jungler and support BLG's fourth and fifth floors will bring out." Ze Yuan nodded and was optimistic about JDG's selection.

In the subsequent bans, BLG banned Crocodile and Aphelios, and JDG chose Lee Sin and Titan.

Although Brother Bin strongly requested not to ban the top lane hero, Tabe was obviously more rational. Crocodile is one of the few warrior heroes that 369 can play this season. Moreover, this hero is too powerful in the early and mid-game, and the resource group will put a lot of pressure on him.

369 was a little annoyed when the coach told him to play Ornn. Will I go to jail if I play Fiora as a tank? This is mainly because of the existence of the God Points in this version, which is really difficult to play.

He wants to play Jayce. Jayce is very comfortable against Fiora, especially with the existence of Eclipse in this version.

"No, we have to be in the front row, otherwise the AD output environment will be very bad!"

Damn, how come this translator replicated the tone so well, and really brought myself into the story?
369 Cursed inwardly.

Ornn was chosen on the fourth floor, Bin smiled knowingly, and chose Swiftness as the rune. I am familiar with this matchup!
BLG didn't waste too much time on the fourth and fifth floors, taking down Minotaur and Ruined King, and finalizing the lineup.

"BLG's bottom half is very strong. As long as we can focus our fire on one of them and let the Ruined King pick up his soul, it will be easy to beat them."

Ruler and Redmi were communicating, at this time the team must have a big C, Annie and Jinx are not very good, but Alistar is very easy to perform.

At the last second, Xia was locked, and Ruler selected the runes and changed into his champion skin.

"It's a sure thing. With this lineup, Ruler will definitely be able to dominate the bottom lane. Xia is no exaggeration."

"What about the mid lane? Card vs. Sylas?"

"Anyway, when I play Twisted Fate in ranked games, I always ban Sylas. He's hard to play against in laning, and getting his ultimate stolen at level 6 puts a lot of pressure on teammates."

"During the laning phase, focus on positioning. Isn't Bighand's best skill his positioning?"

"It seems like the card has a long range, but Silas's ew's charge is too far, so there is no advantage at all."

"There is another point. Sylas can steal the ultimate of Minotaur. What is bpBLG thinking?"

The discussion in the barrage was so intense that BLG’s fans were a little panicked.

Entering loading, the lineups of both sides are as follows:

BLG (Blue) Fiora, Ruined King, Card, bottom lane Kaisa (sprint) and Minotaur (weak).

JDG (red) Ornn, Wei, Sylas, bottom lane Xayah (sprint) and Lulu (weakness).

Shenchao: "When Ornn becomes tanky, it will be hard for BLG to deal with him."

"Indeed, I am more optimistic about JDG's BP here. BLG is completely a one-lane system that has never been seen in the playoffs, and it can't join the team in the late stage."

"If this lineup wants to win, they have to control the little dragon in the front, otherwise JDG will use the dragon soul to force a teamfight, and they will not be able to carry the team alone."

Zoom analyzed it and everyone thought it was fine.

"Card chose Electric Shock, which is a bit unexpected. It seems he wants to suppress the opponent in the lane."

"Wait, Card went out and bought Doran's Blade, another new understanding!"

Entering the game, the five BLG players went to the bottom lane together to help Kassadin and Minotaur occupy the bushes in the bottom lane. If you don't enter the bushes at level one in the bottom lane, you will be suppressed very uncomfortable, after all, Minotaur is really useless at level one.

JDG didn't come to grab the red buff when they saw this, because Kanavi wanted to start with the red buff to protect the bottom and didn't want to waste time down there. Lulu and Xayah are a combination that develops slowly.

"BLG's handling of the situation is still very experienced, so the bottom lane can get through level 1 smoothly." Ze Yuan commented.

The soldiers in the middle lane intersected, and the director's camera was directed over there. Card pressed forward and kept testing, while lowering the health of the soldiers in the back row.

Seeing this, Knight immediately learned E.

In fact, if you want to play against a powerful Card, Sylas must learn Q, because even if you learn E, you won’t gain anything by exchanging blood with E.

But for Knight, this kind of aggressive card is most to his liking. It doesn't matter as long as he can pull the card to the first level and lose some blood. Later, Sylas's kill line is high and there is a chance of a single kill.

Sylas used E to move closer, then chose the right moment to use the second stage of E. He was waiting for this scene with bated breath. 10 and a half out of 9 cards in the ranking would be hit by this tricky chain.

However, Card simply canceled his normal attack and moved slightly to the right, seemingly dodging it easily.

Xia Sen didn't waver at all. It was very easy for him to dodge this skill in the simulated battle with Knight.

Card learned E in seconds, pressed forward and attacked A. Sylas wanted to come up and attack with his passive, but Card pulled back. Sylas retreated and Card pressed forward again.

“Pull!”

The cards triggered the electric shock, and Silas' health was reduced by one third. Knight could only retreat, feeling very uneasy. Oh no, has he been seen through again?

Just when everyone thought that the first level fight was over, Card first pulled the aggro of the minions and then directly crossed the line of soldiers to attack Sylas.

This is level one, and the soldiers' attacks are very painful. Just when everyone thinks the card has gone crazy.

Suddenly I realized why the Card wasn't attacking the soldiers instead of him. On the big screen, the Card was attacking Sylas, while the soldiers on both sides were fighting each other numbly.

After three more basic attacks, Sylas' health dropped to half, and he had to retreat to the tower, missing out on the experience of a front-line soldier.

"Ah? What's the soldier doing? Is there a bug?"

Words like these were played out in the barrage, and some correct answers were drowned out.

Even Shen Chao and Guan Zeyuan were a little slow to react.

Zoom still gave the answer.

"This is the ultimate secret of using long arms to suppress short arms. You can attack a person at the right time when the soldiers are about to attack. The soldiers' hatred will not be transferred. This move has been around for a long time. You have to ask Knight about this move. He is most familiar with it."

Said it right.

Knight was already doubting his life at this point. Isn't this my favorite way to play? How did you steal it? And you used it on me!
The disadvantage in health volume is a trivial matter; the psychological blow is often the most fatal.

Retreating to the line of troops, Xia Sen smiled greedily.

Knight, Knight, I am afraid I know you better than you do.
Card started to slowly attack and finish off the enemy. Sylas no longer had any chance to grab the lane and could only wait for the next wave of soldiers to come.

"Gui Gui, what a confident smile. I remember seeing this before in Knight's highlights. I was shocked at the time. I didn't expect to see it on the court."

"I remember it too. It was Leblanc who fought against Galio at that time."

The mid laner reached level 2 and slowly pushed the line. Xia Sen made sure that at least three waves could be gathered in this wave so that he could consume the enemy crazily while Sylas was replenishing the tower damage.

"Fuck, he figured it out!"

The sound of "on" came from the headphones.

Kassadin's level 1 q is area damage. In the second wave, Minotaur forces an A to get the salary equipment and passive to grab the level 2. He instantly uses q to flash the opposite Xayah and then wants to use w to fight back.

As a result, Ruler flashed to dodge and reacted, and then hit Minotaur half of his health.

Zoom: "Ruler's reaction in this wave is really top-notch. If he switches flash with Alistar, he will be under a lot less pressure. After all, as long as he maintains a good position and doesn't get hit by the second combo, there will be no pressure on the laning side."

"Yes, if Minotaur doesn't flash, it will give the jungler a chance to gank."

Sure enough, Xia has already started to control the lane intentionally, obviously waiting for the jungler to come down
The camera turned to the middle lane again, and the mid laners on both sides had already reached level 2.

At around 2 minutes and 30 seconds, Wei rushed out from the bushes in the upper area. Xia Sen's eyelids jumped, and at the same time, Sylas's ew was already close.

"Vivid is in speed three, it looks like there's a chance to catch this wave!"

Xia Sen pressed W, and luckily the first card was a yellow card. After confirming, he froze Sylas and pulled him down to the river.

Xun is also brushing from top to bottom, and is now close to f6 and is rushing over.

After waiting for Silas's stun to end, the two sides started the game again.

Whether or not the card can be kept depends on Sylas' second E.

Knight chose to trust his own habits, aimed at the angle and pressed down steadily with his index finger.
