SP's game against the Scorpions is on May 18.
The league is based on a points system, and there is no such thing as a final. The situation is different every year. Sometimes the gap between the first place and the second place is too large, and the championship of the year is determined in advance before the final game.
But this year's competition is extremely fierce. The champion and runner-up are not sure yet. The third place is CQ, and the fourth place - who will be the last finalist in the regional qualifiers of the global finals, whether it is Scorpion or KI, is not sure, we have to wait After this game is over, we will know the result.
Therefore, in this game, SP will go all out to compete for the championship, and Scorpion will also go all out to enter the World Championship.
On May 17th, the night before the competition, the pre-competition warm-up reached **.
The official summarized the data of SP and Scorpion this season, the comparison of historical data, historical honors, etc., and opened a forwarding lottery, and selected a few people from among the netizens who guessed the EPL ranking of this season to give a full set of champion skins.
The popular retweet of this Weibo can be called a big battle among the camps. In addition to the extra lottery draws of SP fans and Scorpion fans to pray for good character, there are also KI fans and WSND fans standing in line.
Needless to say, WSND fans naturally hope that SP will lose.
KI and SP are brother teams. Of course, the relationship is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if SP loses and Scorpion scores, KI will drop to fifth place and miss the World Championship.
So KI fans all-site SP, as the captain of KI, Chen Le personally posted a Weibo, Ait Cheng Sunian, disgusted and said: "Brother, I want to go to Los Angeles."
Los Angeles is the venue for this year's World Championship.
Cheng Sunian didn't go online, so he couldn't see this Weibo, but Feng Can saw it, and Feng Can commented to him: "Okay, I got it."
Scorpion and SP already had deep old grievances, and the word "Xing" triggered another wave of rhythm.
Someone posted a saliva post on the e-sports forum, titled "Do a Math Problem", which read: "Known, Scorpion 2:0WSND, WSND2:0SP, solve it, how many SPs will the Scorpion have tomorrow night?"
The several big teams in the post were torn into one piece, new and old grudges arose, and they were torn up until 7:30 the next night.
At 7:30 on May 18th, SPvs Scorpion, the final battle of the EPL year officially began.
All members of the WSND and CQ teams were also present for this game, because three gleaming trophies have already been placed on the stage. After the game is over and the rankings are out, the official awards ceremony will be held on the spot.
In response to this situation, the commentator gave a detailed introduction for a few minutes. After the introduction, everything was broadcast live. Under the high expectations, the first round of ban&pick finally began.
"In the first round, the SP is on the blue side, and the scorpion is on the red side." Under the familiar background music of the BP link, the commentator said, "The third ban of SP's starting hand is Sinnoh, Anos, and the third... Three are not banned? Has the SP released the ban?!"
"Is it too late for the countdown, or is it a deliberate ban?"
"Let's see the follow-up. Now it's the red team's turn to BP. The countdown is running, but Scorpion hesitates."
"Hey, can't the scorpion go down?"
"SP is really playing tricks. They only ban two, and there are too many heroes released: Garan and Ghost Poet are not mandatory for mages to ban. Recently, red-crowned cranes are also very popular. There are priests and maids as assistants. These are all SPs. I like it, the top laner has Elephant, a powerful weapon to start a team, and an expert in protecting the back row. Teams like SP and Scorpion who like to play the bottom lane system must like Elephant, and now Scorpion is hard to choose."
"It's me, I also choose phobia."
"But the SP leaves the choice to the scorpion, so it's easy for him to get nothing."
"No, SP obviously came prepared. The core of the current Scorpion is mid-bottom. In fact, the two teams are very similar. Scorpion will definitely give priority to heroes who are suitable for the bottom lane system, so it is priest, maid, or elephant. Of these three heroes, no matter which one Scorpion chooses, he will definitely release at least one, because even if they don't grab the mage with one hand, they can You can’t put a mage at the level of ghost poet to SP. That is to say, no matter what they choose first, SP can get what they want.”
"Of course, Scorpion will definitely be able to choose a strong one first-hand."
"Yes, if SP does this, it may not be able to win in the BP session, but it will definitely be able to choose the lineup they want."
"Even if the Scorpions have a better lineup than them, it doesn't matter, I just want to choose my own."
"Yes, in fact, this is also a kind of self-confidence."
This is self-confidence, of course, but also contempt for the enemy.
E-sports has always used fear to show respect. For example, when other teams meet Cheng Su Nian, no matter whether they are willing or not, they must ban the priest. This is an affirmation of his strength.
If I know that you have a 100% win rate using a priest, I still ban it, which means that I am not afraid of you, and I don't think you have this strength.
In the arena, whether you are afraid or not depends on your character. In the face of winning or losing, no one can not be afraid of absolute strength.
Therefore, part of the confidence of SP against Scorpion comes from "I dare to release the priest, but you dare not".
Sure enough, Scorpion hesitated for a long time, and when the countdown was about to end, the first ban was given to the priest.
When the second ban counted down, they hesitated for a long time, banned the ghost poet, and then picked the elephant.
The explanation said: "No way, knowing that the script given by SP is like this, the scorpion has to follow the script. They want an elephant, so the priest needless to say, the god will be banned every year, and the Garan SP has basically never played. The ghost poet Choose one of the two with the maid, the former is the current version of the T0 mage, the lethality is greater, it is better to let him go than the maid, in comparison, the strength of the maid is not incomprehensible, and it is very touching—”
Speaking of this, the commentator smiled slightly, not saying anything himself, hinting to his partner: "Scorpion probably thinks that SP doesn't like maids now, do you know why?"
The partner pretended not to know: "Why?"
The commentator had no choice but to say by himself: "Because of the rumors in the world, Nian Shen's state has declined recently, and his hand feeling is not as good as before. Even in his peak period, he also said that he didn't like playing with waitresses. "
"How can a maid have a maharaja flower? The maharaja is the real belle. Nian can play this well. Isn't the maid a piece of cake?"
"That's true."
The two commentators talked about each other, and they diverged on this topic, bragging about Cheng Sunian for a long time.
The bullet screen of the live webcast has already exploded. SP fans are begging for the poisonous milk. Fans of Scorpion are scolding that the commentary is too obvious and disgusting. They don’t want to watch the official live broadcast. They have to switch to the private commentary channel.
The off-stage rhythm took off, and the on-stage BP ended smoothly.
SP bottom lane Red Flame King + Maid, mid laner red-crowned crane, hare hunter, top laner Ruger. Scorpion has Deer Girl + Margaret in the bottom lane, Fenghuang in the mid lane, Starscream in the wild, and Elephant in the top lane.
The match begins.
In this round, both sides have good lineups. SP has the advantage of excellent gank ability, suitable for single-grab, but the output of team battles is slightly insufficient. The advantage of the scorpion is that it has a long hand and a stronger ability to keep the C position, and it has an advantage in team fights in the later stage.
Now that this lineup has been selected, SP naturally wants to do something.
As soon as the game started, Feng Can and Cheng Sunian helped Zhao Zhou hit the red buff. The three of them fought fast. After Zhao Zhou finished the fight, he went to fight against Scorpion's blue. There was a time lag, and the enemy jungler hadn't finished fighting.
Zhao Zhou went up to try his luck, and after a punishment, he even snatched Lan away.
Seeing that Scorpion's new jungler was about to catch up, Zhao Zhou turned around and slipped away.
The opening advantage is very important.
Zhao Zhou played smoothly in the early stage, developed well, and frequently took care of the bottom lane.
There was a wave of Zhao Zhou squatting in the grass, Cheng Sunian deliberately sold a vision, pretended to go up quietly, but actually came back from the grass on the other side, and squatted with Zhao Zhou.
Feng Can withdrew his troops by himself and huddled under the tower for a long time to perform the scene of "the left-behind children struggling to support". The enemies, the deer girl and Margaret, who had been cautious all the time, finally couldn't bear to beat him. The flower branches were thrown out, and the deer girl was hooked into the grass, killing and burying the corpse in one go.
The advantage of the bottom lane has also been opened up.
But the same trick can only be played once in a round. After Cheng Sunian and Feng Can grind down the scorpion's lower tower, they swim with Zhao Zhou, catch every little dragon, and control every little dragon in SP In his hand, he invaded the wild area of the scorpion from time to time, making the scorpion very big.
"Rabbits are fat." In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Cheng Sunian and Zhao Zhou caught a few waves in the middle, and Fenghuang was caught so that he dared not go out of the tower. The commentator said, "Scorpion's double Cs are well developed Not good, this hit is very uncomfortable, the middle lane came again—again! The rabbit and the waitress caught again! Fenghuang noticed it, but the SP didn’t give you time to react, and the red-crowned crane took off with a big move! Silently pick up the girl The waiter's hook! Forced to kill under the tower! How do you hide?"
"The middle tower also fell, the scorpion is really uncomfortable."
"The economic gap is getting bigger and bigger, and Scorpion needs a turnaround point."
"It's hard, Canshen has also woken up, now is the strong period of the Red Flame King, SP can start a group."
As soon as the voice of the commentator fell, the SP's upper and lower lanes collected the wave of troops. They came together, and the five of them gathered together and advanced along the just pulled out middle tower. The scorpion was forced to return to defense, and the two sides fought under the second tower. stand up.
This wave of team battles will determine the outcome.
The maid is a sharp weapon for catching people, but the premise is that they can be caught accurately. If the flowers are thrown out, people will move to avoid them every time, and the hero's advantages will not be brought into play.
However, the way SP uses maids is more diverse. Cheng Suinian is good at judging the timing of casting skills. Hooking people is not necessarily for one hit, but can also force them to move, compress the enemy's formation, and create opportunities for teammates.
SP played a wave of one for five, and the "one" was Feng Can.
Feng Can lay on the ground and watched his teammates go up to the high ground, push the crystal, plant the flag, and said depressedly: "I was abandoned by my support, who marginalized me from the beginning, and did not protect me when playing in a team."
"Didn't you agree?" Li Xiuming said, "We call it a sacrificial tactic. Sacrifice one of you to make the entire SP happy. Your contribution is huge, Canshen."
Cheng Sunian laughed in the voice: "Okay, let's take a look at the output of the great ADC."
"At least 20 percent, right?" Usually 30 percent of the team is a normal statistic, and there have been high outputs in the 40s and 50s. Feng Can felt that even if he paddled, he could reach twenty.
However, when the game ended and he jumped to the data settlement interface, he glanced at it and said according to the system, "Fifteen o'clock... fake!"
The voices in the team burst into laughter.
In the past two months, the base has been training under high pressure, and everyone has not relaxed for a long time. Now that SP1:0 leads for the time being, we can take a breather.
Cheng Sunian took Feng Can's hand, and went backstage with his teammates to take a break.
Relying on his 34% output in this round, Zhao Zhou punched Feng Can, kicked Gao Xinsi, and yelled that the SP would start playing the wild core system from today, and the double Cs had to give way to him.
But jokes are jokes, the game is not over yet, it is impossible to really relax.
The coach briefly reviewed the previous game in the background, mainly talking about the problem of the scorpion and the countermeasures they may have in the next game.
It's the match point, SP must be careful and must win the second round, otherwise, if he carelessly underestimates the opponent and gets tied, it will cause a huge blow to morale and the consequences will be disastrous.
Everyone laughed just now, but now they can't laugh again.
Training day and night, I worked hard for the whole season, but failed to reach this point, but all previous efforts were wasted. SP has no domestic championship for the third year, and if they don’t win this year, they can only wait for next year, but next year and next year, how many will they have next year
Cheng Sunian and his teammates hugged one by one, and patted the brothers' shoulders: "Come on, SP will win."
"—SP must win!"
The break is over and the second inning begins.
The reason why Scorpion lost so quickly in the last game was essentially because the jungler was caught and collapsed from the early stage, stunted, and had no rhythm from beginning to end.
After Scorpion changed to a new player, their performance can rise, mainly due to their jungler and AD—but this version of AD is not as good as before, and no matter how strong the ADC is, it is difficult to carry strongly by itself.
In this round, the scorpion is on the blue side and the SP is on the red side.
Scorpion was very straightforward this time, probably after discussing it just now, he banned the priest, Sinnoh Maharaja, and Elephant without hesitation.
The options left to SP are Maid, Ghost Poet, Arnos, and Garan.
If the SP is banned according to the strength of the hero, it should ban Garan and the ghost poet, and choose the maid or Anos.
But Scorpion is now relying on junglers and ADs for food, and obviously wants strong junglers, and it is impossible for Anos to let them.
Ghost Poet is relatively easy to operate among the mages in the first echelon. It is simple and strong. It is not as easy to operate as Garan. To put it bluntly, Scorpion’s mid laner is not particularly strong. You can put Garan on him, and he can play as much as you want. Not at the level of Zuo Zhengyi, but the ghost poet can't play-this hero can be played as a mid laner.
SP thought it over, banned Anos and the ghost poet, picked the maid, and released Garan.
SP's abacus knocked loudly, but unexpectedly, Scorpion locked Jialan without even thinking about it.
As soon as this move came out, the commentator was also taken aback: "Is it so enjoyable? The water god doesn't seem to have played with Jialan much, has he?"
Scorpion's mid laner is called Water, and the other said: "Maybe it's a hidden weapon? It was only released today, and it's a surprise for SP."
It is indeed a hidden killer, but no one expected that the player who plays Garan is not the mid laner of Scorpion, but the jungler of Scorpion.
——When the lineups of the two sides were determined, the players of Scorpion finished swapping heroes, and when they saw that Jialan brought the punishment for the jungler, the whole SP team was "surprised".
"Brothers, I'm a little panicked." Gao Xinsi trembled, "What kind of coquettish routine is this?"
Li Xiuming said: "Don't be afraid, it's just evil and crooked ways, and evil can't prevail against good."
"OK, evil can outshine good."
Evil cannot prevail against good, but "evil" can catch "good" by surprise.
Scorpion's style of play in this round is very unfamiliar to SP. SP has been inexplicably caught in the opponent's rhythm since the beginning of the game, very anxious and unable to grasp the initiative.
Jia Lan is a melee mage. Although her attack range is short, she is very mobile. Once she is caught, it is difficult to get rid of. Although she is not very fast in the wild, she is very powerful in 1v1 fights. She harassed Zhao Zhou in the wild and took Zhao Zhou Zhou made his mentality explode.
It stands to reason that Jia Lan's growth in the jungle position will be slower than that of the mid unit eating pawns, but the ghost jungler Scorpion doesn't know where to steal the economy, and he abruptly ranks first in the game's economy.
For the first 20 minutes, SP has been pressed and beaten, unable to find his own rhythm, unable to control the dragon, and difficult to defend the buff.
Seeing the snowball being snowballed by the scorpion, and the economic gap widening, Cheng Sunian clicked on the team and took a look at Feng Can's equipment.
Feng Can is still the Red Flame King, especially in the early stage. Cheng Sunian can't swim with Zhao Zhou, so he has to help Feng Can in the bottom lane, otherwise Feng Can won't be able to develop, and he won't be able to defend the tower.
SP has been passive for nearly forty minutes, and Scorpion has finished beating two big dragons, and they are still insisting on dragging their development.
In fact, there is no lineup advantage in the later stage, but we can't find a comeback point, so we can only wait for the opportunity.
During this period, SP has always adopted an attitude of avoiding battles, trying not to form a regiment, and can continue to drag if they control the line of troops. But Scorpion also wants to find an opportunity to wipe out SP in groups, otherwise he will not be able to reach the high ground.
The two sides had a stalemate for a long time, and the first large-scale team battle occurred in the 39th minute.
At this time, the defensive towers on the field had already been dropped, and another big dragon was spawned. Cheng Sunian entered the upper half of the field, using skills to explore the grass in front, and Feng Can used red buffs in the back.
At this moment, the whole Scorpion team rushed out from the grass at the second tower in the top lane, trying to encircle them.
Feng Can made a decisive decision, gave up the red buff and quickly retreated. Cheng Sunian's position was relatively forward, and he had no choice but to go down the dragon pit. The two dispersed in two directions. Feng Can retreated safely to the high ground, and Cheng Sunian was hunted down.
A single support, as long as he catches up, the SP economy is behind and there is one less person. This wave is basically cool, and it is difficult to hold on.
Scorpion obviously thought so, so much so that he got a little overwhelmed, and the five members of the team went after Cheng Sunian. Cheng Sunian fled from the foot of the dragon to the middle road, continued down the middle road, told Zhao Zhou to solo Dalong, and the others led the line, leaving him alone.
But in fact, ever since Cheng Sunian was hunted down, Feng Can immediately walked in his direction to save him. Seeing Feng Can pass by, Li Xiuming and Gao Xinsi also followed.
Only Zhao Zhou obediently went to fight Dalong. Halfway through the fight, his teammates started a 4V5 team in the bottom lane.
This is a critical and embarrassing situation, Zhao Zhou is neither stopping nor stopping, he hesitated for a second, when he was hesitating, Cheng Sunian asked him to come down to support.
Zhao Zhou immediately gave up on the half-blooded dragon and rushed to the team battle position.
This has never happened before, Feng Can didn't listen to the command, and followed the rhythm of his teammates, Cheng Sunian had no time to get angry, so he could only temporarily change his strategy, try his best to let the SP win this wave, even if they can't win - no, there can be no mistakes , must win.
"Three seconds." Cheng Sunian said quickly, "Xiao Gao depends on the position, and the elder me."
Under the attention of all the people, the red-crowned crane jumped up and turned into a bird in mid-air in the high-definition live broadcast where even the strands of the hero's hair could be seen. direction.
If you play it slowly, this action is very advanced, but everything happened too fast on the field. I saw that at the same time he landed, it was almost exactly the same. The jungler Garan.
The maid's successful hooking will cause a dizzy effect on the target. The dizziness is coupled with the silence of the red-crowned crane, and Jialan can't get out of the state by opening up. Feng Can can find Cheng Sunian's position with his eyes closed.
"Galan was seconded! It was seconded!!"
"Another exquisite cooperation! SP's seamless combo is world-class!"
There was a burst of applause from the audience, Jialan Resurrection Armor stood up, half blood was second again.
Immediately afterwards, the maid's short CD skill hit the core of the scorpion again, and the ADC fell to the ground. Scorpion was defeated like a mountain, and SP stepped out of the battlefield with corpses on the ground, making a strong comeback.
"—Two to zero!"
This is the last game of EPL.
This is SP's first major championship in three years.
The moment the crystal exploded, some people were crying and others were laughing. The tense atmosphere in the contestant bench was relaxed, and everyone was almost in a trance.
The commentator seemed to be the only sober person in the audience, and shouted: "—75 points! Congratulations to SP for reaching the top! Becoming the EPL champion of the year!" (End of this chapter)
