Chapter 78 The Underdog
Chapter 78 Sad Soldiers
Wednesday, August 23rd.
For the lower-ranked teams, the playoff schedule is so tight that after the news that DAN was about to be sold broke, the players had no time to adjust their mentality.
When taking the bus to the competition venue, no one in the team mentioned this matter, but Chen Mo could clearly feel that the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Qiuqiu, who had always been more lively, didn't speak at this time. He looked outside the bus and didn't know what he was thinking.
Everyone quickly arrived at the competition site.
Entering the lounge, as usual, coach Bai Yueya warned everyone about the precautions for the game before the game started.
"OMG is a team with a traditional style of play, so in the game, Xiao Mo, you should focus on the bottom lane at the beginning..."
As the coach talked eloquently, except for Chen Mo, the other players didn't react much.
Seeing this, Bai Yueya could only sigh helplessly. As a coach, he got more information than the players.
Everything circulating on the Internet is true.
The DAN club is about to be sold, and after the sale, there will be a major change of players. The people in charge of Taobo have begun to contact him, asking him to pay attention to whether there are more suitable players in the summer split, and to test whether Chen Mo can be retained.
Come down.
As for other players, the management’s approach is:
If other clubs are willing to take it, they can sell it. Those who cannot be sold will be directly used as substitutes or transferred to other clubs.
Just as the two teams were preparing for the game, the director released the pre-match promotional videos for the two teams.
The promotional video was recorded in advance. Although there were rumors that DAN was about to be acquired, no one knew it and the players were all very motivated.
The camera first showed Chen Mo.
"The light of darkness will eventually disappear. I think it will be today. In the jungle duel, I will not give World6 any chance."
World6 responded quickly afterwards:
"Whether it's a black dog or a white dog, it's useless today. I heard that Silence's jungler doesn't like to produce meat. I think he may have to make some changes today."
Then the camera kept switching and other contestants spoke one by one.
Qiuqiu and Lies were very arrogant in their talk before the game. At that time, they had just defeated SN with an exaggerated score of 3:0, and they were very proud of themselves.
However, when watching the pre-match promotional video, everyone in DAN did not feel that passionate feeling at all.
Silence, still silence.
In the lounge, the laughter and laughter of the past no longer exist.
The pre-match talk quickly ended, and the director switched the camera to the commentary box.
"Hello, dear viewers, this is the scene of the League of Legends 2017 LPL Summer Playoffs. The two teams we are facing today are DAN and OMG. I am the commentator of this game, Guan Zeyuan."
"I'm Rita."
"I'm hallucinogenic."
Several commentators greeted the audience one after another, but when they saw the three people, the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly started to wail.
"This is the most cruel commentary combination for the audience!"
Someone said bluntly.
Both Guan Zeyuan and Rita in S7 were not very good at business, and they only gradually grew up in S8.
However, after the commercial was finished, the audience's attention quickly shifted away from the commentator, and the contestants on both sides took to the stage.
The game has entered the BP stage.
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong with DAN and these guys?"
"The game hasn't ended yet, and my home was robbed. Is this the right situation?"
"To be honest, if this thing hadn't happened, DAN would have had a chance to beat OMG, but now, I can't say there's no hope, but it's definitely not big."
…
The barrage started a crazy discussion.
While netizens were talking, BP started quickly.
In the first game, OMG was on the blue side and DAN was on the red side. The BP coming from both sides was very targeted.
"Let's take a look at the top three ban positions on both sides. OMG banned Prince, Spider, and Rambo, while DAN banned Big Mouth, Lulu, and Skateboard Shoes."
Guan Zeyuan said, and the hallucinogen next to him immediately added:
"The focus of the two sides is completely different. DAN's side mainly restricts the bottom lane, while OMG's side mainly targets the jungle. DAN should be a rare team in this version that uses the jungle as the core of the rhythm."
After three bans, hero selection begins.
OMG took the lead in determining the support Luo, and this hero selection is very exciting.
Xayah is not in the ban position, so DAN only has two choices: take Xayah or not take Xayah.
If not, OMG can choose Xialuo combination.
And if you take it, Qiuqiu is actually not very good at this hero.
Xayah is not a T1ADC in the current version, but when these two heroes are selected at the same time, the bottom lane will be very difficult.
Luo can enhance Xia's damage, and his E skill can also trigger the incense burner. When Xia is next to him, Luo's E skill is released very far away. This is actually equivalent to a weakened version of the incense burner system, but the damage is weakened, but it is greatly
Increased fault tolerance.
"We can't let the other side get Xia Luo."
Chen Mo said.
The strategy they discussed was to target the bottom lane. If the opponent chooses Xia Luo, it will be very difficult to target them. As long as the opponent is a little vigilant, it will be difficult for the jungler to find an opportunity to gank the bottom lane.
White Crescent also knew this. Under his instructions, DAN finally locked Xayah down and also chose a big insect for Lies on the road.
It's OMG's turn again.
The ADC they chose is a small cannon, and they are playing Gnar to counter the big bug.
Bai Yueya considered the bottom lane combination of Xiao Pao and Luo again and again, and did not choose a soft assistant in the auxiliary position, but still used the Japanese girl to deal with it.
Since there is no way to fight in the bottom lane, it is better to choose a support who can roam in the jungle.
After the three selections, we enter the second round of BP.
At this time, both sides still have two positions: jungler and mid laner with no choice.
OMG bans Syndra and Barrel, and DAN bans Enchantress and Kassadin.
For Chen Mo, the jungle hero he could choose was not quite right. In order to avoid the opponent trying to grab the agent next, White Crescent decided to take the jungler first.
"blind monk?"
he asked in his voice.
Chen Mo shook his head slightly: "Take the Leopard Girl."
I learned this hero after playing against SN, and it had already been promoted to professional level at this time.
"If I guess correctly, there is a high probability that the opponent's middle lane will take the plane. For the lane plane, Lucian is the most suitable. And if I take the blind monk, it is not easy to choose Lucian in the middle lane."
It is best to choose a lineup that has both AD and AP damage in the game. If the midfielder and jungler are all AD heroes, the opposing tank only needs a pile of armor, and it may not be able to defeat the opponent in the middle and late stages.
Hearing Chen Mo's explanation, Bai Yueya nodded slightly.
DAN quickly identified Leopard Girl.
And OMG was also very decisive, taking the lead in the jungle position to win Zhu Mei, and the final mid laner, just as Chen Mo guessed, was indeed a plane.
In the end, it’s self-evident that DAN’s Counter position is Lucian.
With the final hand of heroes determined, the lineups of both sides are as follows:
DAN is on the red side: top laner Big Chongzi, jungler Leopard Girl, mid laner Lucian, bottom laner Lu Xia and Sun Girl.
OMG on the blue side: top laner Gnar, fight wild boar girl, midlane plane, bottom lane cannon and Luo.
