The five IG players gathered in the middle lane, and the line of troops was pushed over quickly. The five MSF players defended under the defensive tower.
Yuan Shen's Doomsday took the auxiliary Lulu to the side to look for opportunities and clear the opponent's vision first.
However, MSF did not want to sit there and wait for death, so they sent out auxiliary robots to intimidate.
Although IG has the big dragon buff, it would be very uncomfortable if someone was pulled under the defensive tower.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "It's still not easy to deal with. The opponent has a combination of Clockwork and Prince, and Robot. If IG acts rashly, they may be overturned."
Suddenly, Ryze used his ultimate skill, which landed behind the MSF players!
I remember exclaiming, "Here it comes! It's Ryze's ultimate again. What should MSF do? This ultimate can send Doomsday in! The MSF team fell into chaos and finally chose to retreat, but was it too late?"
Theshy's Gary was already full of anger, which was why the MSF players chose to retreat instead of rushing up to fight. It would be very uncomfortable if five people were pushed down by Gary's ultimate.
However, the landing point of Ryze's ultimate was very tricky. At the moment when Ryze's ultimate landed, the robot handed over his hook, but missed!
No one is coming down!
Gnar used his E skill to enter the field, and his ultimate skill hit three people. MSF chose to counterattack, and Prince entered the field with Clockwork's ball!
Suddenly, Doomsday's ultimate move came out from the side, frightening Clockwork, and Clockwork was controlled to death!
Guan Zeyuan commented: "They were fooled! MSF went top, and they thought Doomsday would use Ryze's ultimate to come over, but in fact, Doomsday didn't even go up. He was waiting for an opportunity on the side and used his ultimate to enter the field! This ultimate created an explosive AOE! MSF couldn't handle it!"
"Clockwork was killed, Kalista was too low on health to come up and deal damage, the team battle entered the harvesting phase, IG's mid and jungle, and Ryze's Doomsday combination created a miracle and helped IG turn the tables!"
On the IG side of the game, Baolan cheered: "Nice! We won! We won!"
Sima Laozei was clicking on the tower frantically: "Just push the tower, just push the tower."
Rookie said: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I almost went home."
Rookie's palms are sweating, he is actually under a lot of pressure!
If we were beaten by MSF into the fifth game and were sent home by MSF in the end, then all our efforts for a year would have been wasted.
Theshy said: "MSF seems to be a pretty strong team, I didn't expect it."
Yuan Shen responded: "This year's S-League has many hidden talents. This is not an empty statement."
The IG players led the troops to push the second tower, then the high ground, and finally the front tower.
At this time, the MSF players were resurrected one after another, but the IG players only had eyes for the defensive tower and took it down by force!
Rita announced: "As the crystal in MSF's base exploded, we would like to congratulate IG for completing a thrilling comeback. They defeated MSF 3:2! Refuse to go home in the quarterfinals!"
Remember to answer, "Yes, the dynasty will end one day, but not today! The king of League of Legends, the No. 1 seed IG from the LPL region, that man, the double champion, the legendary player, Yuan Shen, refuses the end of the dynasty! Legends will never die!"
The audience was agitated:
"IG! IG! IG!"
"God Yuan! God Yuan! You are my hero!"
"Legends never die!"
"Tremble! Future enemies!"
At the game, Yuan Shen stood up and high-fived Rookie and Theshy.
"The performance of the two of you was crucial to winning this game. I hope you can keep up the performance." Yuan Shen praised.
Theshy laughed: "I was just playing the game normally, and it was thanks to you that I turned the tables."
Rookie echoed, “I feel like I didn’t do anything and I won.”
Sima Laozei and Baolan came over.
Sima Laozei took the blame: "I'm sorry, I didn't handle the bottom lane well, and it became a breakthrough point."
Baolan's eyes turned red, and she gave Yuan Shen a bear hug: "We won! We won, we didn't lose..."
Yuan Shen was at a loss, it seemed he was under too much pressure.
Maybe it’s because everything has been going smoothly for us all and we have never experienced the feeling of impending failure. Now that we suddenly experience it, it’s a bit unbearable.
In the IG lounge, Ning Wang slumped in his chair. He was really afraid of losing, because then he would have to take the blame.
If Yuan Shen hadn't wanted to train him and let him continue to advance, he wouldn't have been pushed to this extent.
BO5 is very tolerant. If Yuan Shen is on the field, at most you will lose a game because the opponent uses a tactic that you have never seen before, but you can easily win the game afterwards.
But King Ning compressed the tolerance to the extreme. The outcome was decided in one game, and even Yuan Shen had the possibility of failure. Fortunately, he won.
Fu Manduo was also thankful: "It's good to win, it's good to win."
The IG players shook hands with the MSF team. Yuan Shen walked up and found that several people on the MSF team had red eyes.
They almost broke through themselves, and if they really did it, they would definitely leave their names in the history of the league.
Fortunately, they did not do so, otherwise they would have regretted it for the rest of their lives.
This kind of opportunity basically only comes once in a lifetime, if you miss it, it’s missed, so MSF’s crying Yuan Shen is understandable.
After shaking hands, Yuan Shen led the IG members to the center of the stage, bowed, and then prepared to leave.
At this moment, a staff member came up and reminded:
"Please ask Yuanshen to go to the LPL region interview booth for an interview."
Yuan Shen followed the staff to the interview seat and met Luo Xin, who was in charge of the interview.
Luo Xin cheered, "Master Yuan! Master Yuan! Master Yuan! Wow! I almost thought you guys were going to fail. It was really scary. But after seeing you on the field, I knew the other side couldn't be so arrogant anymore."
Yuan Shen replied: "They did play well. We didn't win the last game for sure. We can only say that we were lucky in the end."
Luo Xin continued, "Master Yuan, come over here. The interview is about to begin."
Yuan Shen followed Luo Xin to the center of the stage and looked at the camera together.
The interview began after the director signaled.
Luo Xin said: "Congratulations to IG again. Congratulations to them for winning against MSF 5- and advancing to the semi-finals. This BO was very intense. They also won by a comeback in the last game. It was not easy!"
"We invited IG's starting jungler, Yuanshen, to be interviewed by us."
Yuan Shen took a microphone from Luo Xin and stood still.
"God Yuan! God Yuan 1 God Yuan!" The audience became excited and cheered wildly.
The cheers lasted for half a minute before slowly dying down. Luo Xin said, "Mr. Yuan is so popular. Everyone likes you so much. Now it's time to ask questions. This is the first question."
"Master Yuan, when you were watching the game from below and saw IG tied at 2:2, what were you thinking? Did you feel panicked?"
Yuan Shen replied: "When I saw MSF perform well and beat our team, I was sincerely happy for them, which proved that they are very strong."
Yuan Shen changed the subject: "However, I also feel sorry for them, because this is a mountain they cannot cross. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. They must feel bad in the end."
In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"Oh my god, this is too domineering!" "Everything is under control!"
"The outcome has already been determined, and everything is just like that."
"This is the mercy that Yuan Shen has left for this world!"
Luo Xin asked again: "Second question, Master Yuan, you used the hero Doomsday in the fifth game. This was Doomsday's first appearance in this S game. How do you evaluate this hero?"
After this question was asked, the various clubs that were watching the live broadcast were already taking notes, as Yuan Shen's words were authoritative.
Yuan Shen commented: "This hero is not very good, I don't recommend using him."
Luo Xin was stunned: "Then... why did you, Yuan Shen, use it in such a crucial decisive game and lead your teammates to victory?"
Yuan Shen replied: "I chose Doomsday because of MSF's style. They got Robot in the bottom lane and Prince Clockwork in the middle lane. This is an offensive lineup and they like to attack."
"At the same time, MSF lacks vision and awareness, so there are loopholes that can be exploited, so I choose Doomsday, but this situation is rare, so I don't recommend this hero."
Luo Xin nodded repeatedly: "I see. I thought Yuan Shen wanted to hide something. Then the last question is, you will play against the LZ team in the semi-finals."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"So far, Longzhu has won six consecutive games in the group stage and eliminated SKT. Before, you always thought that Longzhu was not as strong as it looked, and was even inferior to SSG. Do you still think so now?"
Yuan Shen's answer was simple: "Of course, I still maintain my opinion."
In the official live broadcast room, the barrage exploded:
"Is Yuan Shen arguing with Longzhu?"
"It seems that the fight will not end until one of us dies."
"Go, go, go! Always support Yuan Shen!"
"It feels a bit difficult. Dragon Ball is indeed very powerful."
After the interview, Yuan Shen chose to return to the lounge.
Fu Manduo came forward and said: "Thank you for your hard work. This game was so thrilling. It was so suspenseful. They had such a big advantage in the beginning. Really, if it was an LCK team, we would definitely be defeated."
Yuan Shen retorted: "But if it's an LCK team, they can't have such a big advantage in the beginning. This is a contradiction. It's impossible to satisfy both at the same time. Only a rookie team like MSF can do this."
Baolan added: "But the disadvantage of being a rookie is that you easily give away opportunities, and you don't know how to end the game quickly when you have an advantage."
Fu Manduo nodded: "Yes, that makes sense. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go eat first, and then go back to review today's game."
In the Longzhu training room, everyone in Longzhu had just finished watching the game between IG and MSF.
Coach Jin greeted: "Now that the game is over, how do you feel? This is the first BO5 of IG in the current version."
Although I want to watch IG's games, there are a lot of them in the Spring and Summer Seasons, and there are also many BO5s, but they are definitely not as useful as this BO5 for reference.
The players' status will change, and the meta will also change.
Xiao Huasheng said, "MSF had such a big advantage in the early stages of this game. If it were us, I can't imagine how we would lose the game."
BDD agreed: "With so many advantages, if it were us, we would have won long ago."
Coach Kim reminded: "Assumptions are meaningless, we can only base it on facts."
Pray spoke up: "I think the current state of IG's bottom lane is not what a team that can enter the finals should be in."
"From this BO5, we can see that their bottom lane is not only weak, but also has poor on-the-spot adaptability. When they encounter a combination or dilemma they have never encountered before, they have no idea what to do."
Coach Jin nodded: "Well, IG's bottom lane is indeed a very big flaw, but their mid, top and jungle are too strong, so the problems of the bottom lane are often covered up. What we need to do is to find out their bottom lane problems and expand them!"
Khan said: "In fact, their mid, top and jungle are not particularly strong, at least in the top lane."
"It's just that you think too highly of him."
Coach Jin responded: "Khan, I know you really want to fight him and prove yourself, but don't be in a hurry. We can have multiple strategies, one for the bottom lane and one for the top lane."
Only then did Khan calm down his restless heart.
In fact, he really wants to compete with Theshy now.
And it’s not the kind of play where you choose two tank heroes and you touch me and I touch you in the top lane, which looks very lively but actually has no effect at all.
What he needs is two warrior heroes, and it depends on whose operation is more detailed.
The next day, the final quarterfinal match began, RNG vs. FNC!
Before the RNG team set off, they came to IG to say hello and wanted to share some good luck or something.
IG also watched the entire process together. RNG defeated FNC 3-1, which basically matched everyone's pre-match analysis.
In this way, the opponent in the semi-finals was determined.
IG vs. Longzhu.
RNG vs. SSG.
So, some people on the Internet began to imagine the future:
"It feels like there's a chance that we'll meet in the finals this year. RNG will beat SSG, and IG will beat Longzhu."
"I feel like there's a chance we'll meet in the finals this year, with SSG defeating RNG and Longzhu defeating IG."
Two completely opposite views emerged and became mainstream.
Now all the fans of LPL and LCK are thinking is, if we are going to win, then we should win them all!
What's the point of winning a little?
Of course, they don't rely entirely on imagination, they all have arguments that they think are reasonable.
"RNG defeated SSG twice in the group stage. Isn't this just a simple move?"
"SSG has transformed. The group stage is the group stage, and the quarterfinals is the quarterfinals."
"Don't you know that BO5 and BO1 are not the same game? SSG is good at BO5."
"Longzhu is currently the strongest team in the world, and I will not accept any rebuttal."
"The strongest in Dragon Ball? What champion are you?"
Fans of both sides fired at each other crazily, trying to prove that they were the one who had the last laugh.
Yuan Shen also saw an analysis post analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of Longzhu and IG.
There were a lot of replies, so he clicked in to take a look.
Still comparing by location.
First up is the top lane, Theshy VS Khan.
Below are the data of the two players. There are many similarities in their data, including a lot of data on suppression, such as economic difference in the position, single kills, etc.
However, Khan has more solo kills and is the solo kill king in the top position.
Yuan Shen didn't find it strange, because Longzhu was bullying the weak teams in the group stage. The team in their group was too weak and was bullying the weak teams all the time. Since they were bullying the weak teams, there must be a lot of single kills.
In comparison, IG was much stronger in the group stage, especially in the top lane. Although they couldn't beat Theshy, they were able to keep their balance and not let anyone kill them, which was no problem most of the time. (End of this chapter)
