"Come on EDG, win another game and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop."
Guozai said this excitedly.
At this time, EDG and KTB have tied 2 to 1, and EDG is currently leading by one game and has reached the match point.
In the first game, EDG crushed the opponent in the mid-term with its advantageous team battle lineup. Under the counter of Prince Rambo and Twitch, the Big Mouth was completely unable to play its due role.
Perhaps having learned from the lesson in the first game, KTB chose a complete team lineup in the second game and decided to fight with EDG in the later stages to decide the outcome.
But it is obvious that KTB used to be an active offensive team. Even if they tried it in training games, temporarily changing the game style in the official game often does not have good results.
In the end, not only did KTB lag behind EDG in teamfights in the later stages, but they also failed to gain any advantages in the early stages. They were passive throughout the game, lost their rhythm, and were beaten 2-0.
Originally, EDG was planning to snatch Lee Sin and give it to Ruoyan. After all, Ruoyan's Lee Sin's win rate was still very good, but Ruoyan thought about it and decided to refuse.
Especially Lucian, with a holy light that penetrates the body for more than a thousand yards and consumes invincible energy.
"Really? They changed their strategy. I didn't expect EDG to be so bold as to proactively change their tactics when they were in an advantageous position."
At this stage, both sides have basically chosen their heroes, with only EDG's top laner left to choose.
"Come on, come on! If we win this round, we can get off work early."
Abu confirmed with Xiao Min again and again.
After Clockwork was killed by the tower, Insect's Lee Sin also arrived to support, and used his shield and ultimate to cooperate with Syndra to kill Zweimaster's Prince.
"Is it really possible? Xiao Min, are you sure? Do you really want to choose this? The risk is too great!"
Moreover, Clockwork, who does not have flash, is not like Ziggs, who can clear minions beyond visual range, so KTB's jungler and support kept coming to the middle lane, looking for a gap.
"But I want you to choose Jayce. Aren't you better at this hero?"
In the last game, because U was so close to the championship, his mentality changed a bit, otherwise he wouldn't have made the mistake he just made.
Seeing EDG’s choice, Hou Haotian couldn’t help but be stunned for a few seconds.
In this game, KTB is on the blue side and EDG is on the purple side, so KTB bans and picks first.
"Yes, that's it, believe me, I can do it."
Driven by the rhythm of the midfielder, KTB won victory after victory and finally succeeded in winning the third game, bringing the score to 2-1.
"Alright, alright, time to bp, time to bp."
When Riven was chosen, everyone was a little surprised by EDG's choice, but they quickly figured it out.
"Besides, letting the opponent pick Jayce in the beginning was for this plan, wasn't it?"
The LG players who were originally playing around quieted down and watched the game seriously.
In fact, as an old ME analyst, he is still not used to letting the top laner choose this kind of warrior-type top laner. After all, Strawberry always chose pressure-resistant heroes.
EDG then banned Lee Sin. In the past few games, Insect's Lee Sin caused a lot of trouble to EDG, so EDG decided to ban Lee Sin in this game.
People who came from the old ME lineage generally pay more attention to the lower zone, and the top lane is just a stupid tank used to resist damage, so Abu really felt a little awkward.
After losing two games in a row, KTB finally woke up in the third game, sticking to its own style and continuing to play strong midfield and jungle to drive the tempo.
After all heroes of both sides have been banned, both sides will start to select heroes.
After hesitating for a long time, Abu finally decided to trust Xiao Min and chose Riven for him.
Without flash, Clockwork was caught and killed twice in a row, completely opening the gap and forming a dam collapse effect, and EDG's mid and jungle completely collapsed.
Xiao Min nodded firmly, and then asked
Although they lost the last game, it was not because of the lineup problem, so normally they would not change the lineup, but EDG actually changed it this time.
After losing the previous game, u, who had been mentally unstable, now became much more stable.
Guozai suddenly said with some surprise.
Curly said with a smile on his face.
Seeing that EDG's mid and jungle choices only changed slightly, KTB decided to follow suit. The mid laner continued to choose Syndra, while the jungler chose another strong jungler, Mantis.
Probably because they won the previous game by targeting the mid lane, KTB decided to do the same this time, continuing to target the mid lane and directly banning U's best hero, Ziggs.
It can't kill him, but it's useful in teamfights, and it can also limit EDG's Kog'Maw's choices.
It is difficult for Nami and Kog'Maw to fight against Lucian and Thresh in the early stage, but as long as they can withstand the pressure, they will have no problem fighting in a team in the later stage.
Abu said with a wry smile.
Immediately afterwards, EDG chose Spider and Clockwork as mid and jungle. Originally, EDG was going to choose Jarvan IV, but Jarvan IV was banned at the beginning, so they chose Spider, which is actually a hero more suitable for this version.
"After all, they picked Jayce before, so it's normal to pick Riven now. That's EDG's style."
When cooperating with the Prince to cross the tower, U's Clockwork made a mistake in positioning and took the lead in resisting the tower. As a result, he was pushed and stunned by Syndra's E skill under the tower, and was killed under the tower with the cooperation of the defensive tower.
Next, EDG chose the bottom lane combination of Lucian and Thresh. This pair of enemies is too strong in this version.
After much hesitation, KTB finally chose the bottom lane combination of Nami and Kog'Maw. Although Nami is not as good as Lulu, it is also a good combination.
KTB directly picked Rambo as the first choice. If you can’t beat the opponent’s top laner, it is a good choice to pick Rambo first.
Next, both sides banned Dragon Lady, Lulu, Jarvan IV and Gragas in turn.
KTB was also surprised by EDG's lineup change and couldn't help but hesitate about his choice.
Abu smiled helplessly, shook his head and walked off the stage.
But at the moment, the score is still in EDG's favor. As long as they win one more game, EDG will win the game and win the IEM championship.
"Riven is very strong in this version. I practice often. Believe me."
"Hey, EDG actually banned Lulu? It seems like they have changed their tactics this game."
"Jayce has been nerfed too much in this version, and I feel like there's something wrong with my Jayce play lately."
In a wave of resisting the tower, KTB's mid and jungle directly exchanged 2 for 0, which gave KTB's mid and jungle an extremely good rhythm.
Finally, the persistence paid off in the third game. U, who had always been steady, made a fatal mistake in the middle lane.
However, Xiao Min was transferred to the team at a high price as a key player, so he has a lot of say and must be respected. Therefore, under Xiao Min's insistence, Abu had to listen to his opinion.
"Ah, this EDG feels a little different than I expected."
The lineups of both sides have been determined. The lineups of both sides are:
EDG has Riven on top, Elise in the jungle, Clockwork in the mid lane, and Lucian and Thresh in the bottom lane.
KTB has Rumble on the top lane, Mantis on the jungle, Syndra on the mid lane, and Kog'Maw and Nami on the bottom lane.
