Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker
Chapter 482: The top 4 are revealed
Chapter 482: The top four are revealed (Prove that you are still alive)
(What did you do? The answer is mid-term defense. I still underestimated the intensity of the final project of aviation engineering. Three meetings in two days is really not a joke.)
(I can only say that I am not dead yet, and I will finish writing the book after graduation, but during this period of time, I really cannot guarantee any update frequency, even if it is 2,000 words a day.)
(I have to go to Shahe for a meeting at 9:30 tomorrow morning. It is my limit to find time to write one chapter in between running examples. I apologize again.)
(If you can wait, you can look forward to my resurrection in June. Although no one will care by then.)
(Speaking of which, this book has a bad fate. It happened to be written at a time when LPL was going downhill. I wrote about a character, and a character got into trouble in real life. It can be regarded as a joke of fate.)
Although public opinion is still fixated on the epic showdown between Fanhua and KT, the game still has to be played.
However, in the next two games, due to the objective gap in combat power between the two sides, the popularity of the games was indeed not as high as the former.
The next day, in the third match of the quarterfinals, Xingxin faced Samsung.
Two teams with “Xing” in their names met each other, LPL number two against LCK number three, and the difference in combat power can be considered small.
But it doesn’t mean there isn’t one.
After four fierce battles, Xingxin finally won without any danger.
Facing Samsung, Xingxin’s combat power advantage is still quite obvious.
Cuvee in the top lane is too young. He couldn’t beat Smeb in LCK, so it’s even more impossible for him to have much combat advantage against Tang Rou.
Especially when Tang Rou watched Smeb and Zhao Yang fighting in the top lane for five games, she seemed to have gained some insights.
In the mid lane, General Pawn, who has not suffered a back injury in this world, is undoubtedly the strongest pillar of this Samsung team.
When playing against KT in LCK, they almost always had the upper hand in the middle lane. When playing against SKT and Faker, who was protected by the whole team at that time, they were still able to limit the opponent’s performance as much as possible, thus revitalizing the whole team.
It can be called Samsung’s mainstay.
But unfortunately, the person he met was Ye Xiu, whose skills, mentality, and experience were all at the top of the top.
Even though Pawn tried his best and basically tied Ye Xiu at 4.5:5.5 online in this series, he was still half an inch behind Lao Deng, who had been a professional for ten years, in terms of support and teamfight acumen.
When the middle lane, which usually carries the backbone, is unable to lead the entire game, and the other lanes are also being suppressed, Samsung’s tactics suddenly fail to work.
The only one who had a small advantage in all four games, Old An Bixin, did not make any mistakes, but his age and mentality destined him to not be the kind of jungler who could stand out and be a hero.
It’s okay for Xiao Yabao to invade a few times, but it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on him to make a comeback when the team is at a disadvantage online.
The only thing that had some issues was the bottom lane.
Although Chidi is still far from evolving to the strength of Chidi, and is even less likely to be the super mercenary of the future, his coordination with corejj has not yet reached the level of the champion bottom lane of S7 in a certain parallel world.
But what could they do… they ran into Brother Song Gongming.
After his brother Yu Xia was beaten up by his brother’s brother, or perhaps also affected by the double-circle defeat in the parallel world, this kid has a little bit of a mentality problem.
Eager to prove himself, but hesitant because of that failure.
Although Mingkai and Ye Xiu have been giving Jack psychological counseling very seriously, his performance in previous games was also remarkable.
But when playing against Samsung, he was targeted by the entire Samsung team.
Xingxin’s strength is obvious, and Jack’s weakness in this position is also obvious.
Blue Rain won the game by relying on their strong targeting of this point, and KT also relied on their strategy of targeting the bottom lane and fought bloody battles with the flowers for five games before losing by a tiny margin.
Then Samsung naturally would not miss this, which might be their best opportunity to overthrow the powerful. As long as they can break Jack’s mentality, they still have a chance to break the deadlock.
And… they actually succeeded, which turned the originally sure win into a safe one. Chidi got a strong laning hero, and the Samsung team desperately targeted the bottom lane, which really allowed Jack to break through right from the start.
It also allowed Samsung to briefly enjoy the treatment of a library.
But just when everyone had begun to criticize Jack for the way he transformed into the Red-haired Demon in a parallel world, Xingxin ended the suspense of this BO5 in the simplest and most brutal way.
They changed players.
Su Mucheng, the super AD who had basically been playing as a substitute since the beginning of this playoffs, went into battle amid the cheers of thousands of spectators, with a calm smile that had never changed from the beginning to the end.
Sorry, we have two ADs.
Su Mucheng certainly couldn’t let Xingxin use the fierce trident to defeat the opponent like Jack did.
But the problem is that this version doesn’t rely too much on trident…especially when playing against a team whose jungler isn’t very aggressive.
After Su Mucheng came on the field, Samsung faced Happy, who had completely transformed into an iron barrel formation.
This lineup is good at both offense and defense. The top lane attacks madly while the bottom lane defends tightly. Even if KT comes, it is basically impossible to break through, let alone Samsung.
Without Yu Wenbo’s “flaw”, Samsung can only try to catch him. However, not to mention that Tang Rou, who has become a doctor after long-term illness, is also not so easy to catch now. Even if they catch him, who can they feed?
So, after losing three games in a row, the entire Samsung team was sent off the field by Happy’s changed formation with an expression of “you have no martial ethics”.
But Xingxin wasn’t very happy either.
After the game, the saying “Trident is just a short-lived tactic, and Jack is Xingxin’s biggest weakness” almost swept the Internet.
Originally, Su Mucheng’s popularity was almost the lowest in the league. When she was rotating with Jack, there was always a lack of fans shouting “We want to watch Mucheng” in various places.
It’s fine when Jack plays well and helps Happy win.
A situation like this, where a breakthrough is made, would be really serious.
Although Xingxin replaced him in time and won three games in a row, the victory more or less diluted the fans’ anger.
So much so that after the game, the public opinion about Jack basically changed from “Ure ghost send off” to a relatively mild ridicule like “Jack, the team is safe, don’t come back”.
However, Jack still couldn’t be happy.
I guess Xingxin will be busy in the next week.
In addition to continuing to provide psychological counseling for Jack, they also have to face another huge obstacle.
Of course, if everything goes well, these two tasks may be completed at the same time.
The premise is that they can climb over that mountain.
On the last day of the quarterfinals, Blue Rain defeated Excellent Era 2- amid the wailing of the LCS with almost the same ease as SKT defeated G, and advanced to the semifinals.
Since then, three LPLs have surrounded one LCK, Europe and the United States are all eliminated, and the top four have made the overall situation.
