Chapter 009 It's hard to say
Two days later.
Near noon, Yu Qiu followed the team to Suzhou.
Since their game today was at 3pm, they simply rushed to Suzhou in the morning, had lunch and then went directly to the venue to prepare.
What they are going to play today is LNG, which is currently second in the standings after EDG.
And they are UP, but they are currently ranked at the bottom.
The gap in comprehensive strength between the two teams is self-evident, but because of this, it is even more necessary to spend more time and prepare more.
Even though we knew before the game that it was almost impossible to win today's BO3, but... no one wanted to win!
"In the first game today, let the little idiot play first, and Yu Qiu, you will be the substitute." Coach Green Tea looked at Yu Qiu and said.
Yu Qiu nodded without surprise.
This is indeed in line with the decision of the normal coaching staff. Even if everyone in the team knows that he is indeed better than the little idiot, it still cannot change the fact that they won the last game.
Even if they win with V5.
Making substitutions even after winning, no coaching staff would do this under normal circumstances...
15:00 sharp, Suzhou Yangcheng International E-Sports Arena.
"Dear summoners, good afternoon everyone! Welcome to today's match between LNG and UP."
"I am today's commentator Wang Duoduo."
"I'm Rita."
"I'm AmazingJ."
At the commentary table, AJ and Wang Duoduo were on the left and right, and Rita was sitting in the middle.
"Today we are very happy to invite AJ to commentate on this Bo3 with us. So, AJ, what do you think of today's game?" Wang Duoduo looked at AJ and asked with a smile.
"What do you think?" AJ paused and said with a strange expression, "I guess everyone should think there is no suspense."
"Isn't that true?" Rita asked in surprise, "Maybe I am a bit blunt, but everyone should be able to see that the strength of the two teams UP and LNG is actually not at the same level."
"Indeed." Wang Duoduo also nodded and explained: "Even though UP won V5 2:0 in the last Bo3 and LNG lost to RA 0:2, everyone is still not optimistic about UP."
"Because looking at the historical records of the two teams, there is indeed a big difference."
However, AJ shook his head and said with a smile: "I know you don't think highly of UP, but what I want to say is, it's hard to say who will win in today's game."
"Oh?" Wang Duoduo couldn't help but raise his voice, "Why do you say that? Could it be that UP's recent training match results are very good?"
AJ quickly shook his head, "I haven't paid attention to the training matches, but I did my homework before coming to the scene today."
"Didn't UP post on Weibo two days ago that it had introduced a new mid laner? It's the Autumn from RNG."
"You don't even know that this guy's ranking in the Korean server has been as fast as a ghost recently, and he has already reached the top ten in the Korean server."
"I checked his recent record, and he almost killed more than a dozen of them, just like frying fish in the Korean Server King's Game."
"So today I think UP can hold on to other lanes, especially the jungle. As long as Hacker is not suppressed by Tarzan, UP might really be able to beat LNG."
"At least we can win one round." AJ added after thinking for a while.
Wang Duoduo couldn't help but nodded and said with emotion: "Indeed, I have heard many people mention the player Autumn recently, and he is in a hot state in the rankings."
"It's just that I may be disappointed today, because the news we received before the game is that UP's starting mid laner is still a piece of shit."
"In the last game against V5, his performance was okay, so the UP coaching staff still chose to start him in the first game."
"Huh?" AJ was stunned.
Rait couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "When you said that, AJ felt half cold."
"It's not half as cool." AJ came back to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile, "It's about a third of the time. Bo3, there is still a chance for Autumn to play later."
"Of course, it would be more exciting if Autumn didn't need to be replaced. UP directly won LNG 2:0, which was another upset."
Wang Duoduo nodded, "Indeed, there seem to be quite a lot of upset games recently."
"No matter what, winning or losing depends on the on-site performance of the players from both teams."
"We can see that BP has started, blue side LNG, red side UP."
…
In the lounge, Yu Qiu and other people in the club watched the big screen.
LNG got Tazan’s hot jungler Xin Zhao and the mid laner Xerath who I have only ever used in the LPL.
The top laner is Jayce, and the bottom lane is Verus and Morgana.
On the UP side, they selected the midfielder of Enchantress and Blind Monk, as well as the top laner Seti.
On the bottom lane, I gave the old thief a big C Aphelios and an auxiliary Thresh.
It seems that UP's lineup is more three-dimensional, with Sett and Thresh in the front row and control, Aphelios as output, and a pair of midfielders who can enter the field flexibly. If they cooperate well in team battles, they can kill the opponent instantly.
C position.
LNG, on the other hand, has a pure Poke lineup with relatively high offensive pressure. In the later stage, it was quite difficult for Verus and Jess to deal with Sett.
It can be said that the output of the late team battle depends entirely on I's Xerath.
"We see that LNG's lineup is very competitive. If they can't gain a big advantage in the early stage, they will basically not be able to compete with UP in team battles in the later stage."
"Smlz's Aphelios can be said to be a stress-free output in the late stage. Xin Zhao will be picked up by Seti as soon as he enters the field, and Thresh can be given to the lantern at any time. Aphelios is very difficult to die."
Rita looked at the BP interface and said with emotion: "And I got Xerath again this round. I don't know if he can have the explosive effect like Xerath in the last round."
…
If the team name is hidden, it can be said that more people will be optimistic about UP's lineup.
However, this team name cannot be concealed.
Therefore, the problem cannot be concealed.
Yu Qiu saw it clearly.
The prerequisite for talking about the late-stage lineup is that the players on the field can successfully drag this late-stage lineup into the later stage.
Facing LNG who is so strong in the early stage, can UP really drag the game until Aphelios' equipment is formed and take over the game?
It's hard!
…
…
Time passed by, and there were obviously many people sitting in the lounge, but no one made a sound.
The atmosphere was very depressing.
When the game reached the 15th minute, Yu Qiu could no longer stand it and stood up and left his seat.
Outrageous!
…
"This... is a bit outrageous to be honest." AJ said unceremoniously. There is no problem with the selection of UP's lineup, but the problem with this game is huge."
Wang Duoduo nodded slightly, "Indeed, there is something wrong with the little idiot's performance in this round. The enchantress in the middle was constantly being caught to death. She died three times in 15 minutes. The last hit was 100 knives and 140 knives. She was suppressed by 40 knives. Tapi was also beaten.
Xerath ate three layers."
"The laning in the bottom lane was also pushed hard. Xin Zhao kept coming and called Rift Herald. If Seti TP hadn't held on to the bot lane, I guess the Rift Herald just called LNG and he would have jumped directly over the tower.
