The SPL Finals was held at 8:00 p.m., and the team members arrived at the arena two hours in advance to prepare for the match.
Qiao Yanzhou sat in the backstage and felt the atmosphere before the finals for the first time. From the moment he signed in, he felt that everyone, including the assistant, was tense. Even Qi Chen, who usually likes to joke the most, was listening carefully. Follow Coach Chen to make a pre-match summary.
Yao Le was supposed to be playing, but after he came out of the hotel, he didn't say a single word to the backstage of the arena, and he didn't say a word. The bottom lane is rarely mentioned.
Yao Le doesn't like to talk, so it's not surprising that he is like this, but Coach Chen is different. Coach Chen talks a lot, and every time before the game, he will more or less give a few words to everyone on the field. If you have nothing to say, you have to force yourself to make a few words out of nothing. As a result, today, he didn't even mention Yao Le's name.
Qiao Yanzhou also vaguely felt this subtle feeling. He didn't know anything else, but what was more or less certain was that Yao Le really wouldn't stay in EG for long.
—
The finals adopt the BO5 competition system, which is commonly referred to as the five-game three-win system. Looking at the entire league, in the BO5 competition system in recent years, the key point of the whole game does not seem to be the match point where one side wins two championships, but the point that is always called the number one in the warm-up round by laymen from all walks of life. Bureau.
According to the official statistics of SPL, in all BO5 matches, the team that can win the first round has a probability of winning as high as 75%. And tonight's battle is against top domestic teams like EG and TR, so this kind of official data is even more important.
The two hours, under the tense and enthusiastic atmosphere of the arena, can be said to be fleeting. Qiao Yanzhou even felt that he hadn't fully adapted, and everyone in the team had already taken their seats in the player seats.
Qiao Yanzhou still vaguely remembered what Gu Zixing said to him before going on stage, and what he said...I don't remember at all.
"Now we see that the two teams EG and TR have already taken their positions in the player seats. The enthusiasm of the audience is very high today, because this is the last game of the SPL Spring Split China Division, and the audience must grasp the last one. Opportunity to cheer for your favorite team, cheer!"
Qiao Yanzhou sat in front of the TV in the backstage and quietly watched the commentators standing on the stage holding a microphone and yelling at the audience. The commentary lineup for this year's finals is also the same as in previous years, from two-person commentators during the regular season to three-person commentators, and the added player must be a former SPL star player who has retired in previous years. This seems to have become a rule Unwritten rule.
At this time, the auditorium in the venue can be described as full of seats. Looking at the flashing and waving fluorescent sticks and the super big light boards with the names of the players written on them, Qiao Yanzhou suddenly felt that the international superstars came here to hold a concert. That's about it.
The camera flashed across the faces of the players of the two teams one by one. The two teams were sitting on both sides of the stage. In the center of the stage was the championship trophy of the SPL Spring Split.
The three commentators were still going through the intense and exciting link of blowing each other's strengths, and suddenly saw that the large LED screen above the venue that was supposed to play the SPL promotional video was suddenly switched to a game screen. The three commentators were also very exciting. In a blink of an eye, he entered the state of commentary: "Good audience friends, now we have entered the stage of hero selection. We saw that the TR team first banned the relatively strong version of Kalista!"
"Tsk tsk, guess it is," Tang Xuan sat on the seat, biting the nails of his thumb and index finger with his teeth, which he liked every time he was nervous, "Calista of ban father, let's not do it again this time." I want to take the dragon."
"Hey, you junglers are not deaf yet." Qi Chen cast a glance at Tang Xuan. "I told you that I will lose the dragon in this round and I will go to the palace."
"It's better not to set up this kind of flag randomly." Fu Xiaohai smiled, turned his head and glanced at Tang Xuan, "Who should I ban for you?"
"Ban the little cannon," Tang Xuan smacked his lips, "otherwise he will be robbed again."
Fu Xiaohai nodded, and helped Tang Xuan ban a Mai Lin gunner.
Commentary A: "After WG banned Kalista in the bot lane, Luo was banned in the auxiliary position. It seems that EG's bot lane has been targeted."
Commentary B: "However, EG's Xiaopao ban is very important. After all, late-stage heroes like Xiaopao are really good at Yuan Yaoling."
"Ban a jungler? Mid laner?" Qi Chen turned to look at Coach Chen.
"Spider," Coach Chen said while making notes in his notebook, "TR's support was banned, and they released Thresh."
"Then what if they choose Thresh first?" Qi Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling a little inappropriate.
"Then Tang Xuan grabs the big mouth first, so it's useless if you go down the road." Coach Chen rolled his eyes at Qi Chen, "Stupid."
Qi Chen didn't speak any more, and obediently banned the spider.
"TR stopped the clockwork, Zixing, you..."
Gu Zixing didn't say anything, and just banned Syndra casually.
In fact, the selection and ban of heroes is already the first round of the battle between the gods of the two teams. Although no matter how the two teams choose or ban, there will be loopholes in the end, but it depends on which team has the bigger loopholes.
Amidst the cheers and screams of the audience, the two team players who finally finished the brain-burning hero selection process entered the beautiful Summoner Canyon. On the winding and rugged mountain road, ten heroes separated They come out of their respective springs and are scattered among the upper, middle and lower roads.
"I'm blue, Xiao Hai will help me go up the road and insert an eye." After Qi Chen said something, he walked down the road.
Tang Xuan chose Dazui, and Yao Le used Lulu as a support. It was quite satisfactory and could be regarded as a popular lineup in the current version. On the opposite side were Thresh and Ice Archer. Basically, if they were accidentally hooked in the early stage, they would either die or be injured. .
Tang Xuan heard that Yuan Yaoling's hand feeling is not bad recently, so he was extra careful during the competition. In fact, Tang Xuan and Yuan Yaoling are considered old rivals. With each holding a 50% winning rate, the two of them should be more likely to be lucky.
"Catch it in the middle." Qi Chen walked around the river after brushing the wild monsters. Gu Zixing's Nine-Tailed Fox and WG's mid-single Rock Sparrow are now on par with each other, with only half of their HP remaining. Under the circumstances, Gu Zixing only gained a slight advantage of only two swords.
"Don't come."
Qi Chen had almost reached the middle of the road when he heard Gu Zixing suddenly say something.
"The opposite Kazik is coming, you go to catch it on the top road, the top road is pressing the line." Gu Zixing retreated while talking. Before the words fell completely, Qi Chen saw a void dash from the enemy jungler Kazik attacking Gu Zixing quickly. Just when the long black line was about to hit Gu Zixing's Nine-Tailed Fox, Gu Zixing decisively surrendered. The R skill jumped to the bottom of the tower, and the Rock Sparrow in the middle of the TR saw that he hadn't caught it, so he quickly took this opportunity to quickly equalize the two falling knives.
An ally has been slain!
Just when Gu Zixing was feeling a little rejoiced for having recovered a dog's life, he suddenly heard such a sentence from the female announcer.
"Yao Le??"
This sentence was said by Tang Xuan. Later, maybe because he felt that words alone could not express his inner doubts, he put two big yellow question marks at the position where Yao Le lost his first blood.
"Sorry, my mistake." Yao Le's tone was flat as if he was reading a text.
An enemy has been slain!
This time, it was Qi Chen who went up the road to help Fu Xiaohai catch the wave, probably because the top laner line was too far ahead, so Qi Chen easily caught him.
It seems that the head ratio of the two teams is now 1:1, but after all, TR got the first blood, so the economic gap in the early stage still exists.
"Tang Xuan, calm down, don't panic." Qi Chen probably sensed Tang Xuan's inner anger because of Yao Le's loss of blood, so he hurriedly said something.
Although Qi Chen didn't know exactly how the blood was given away, but looking at Tang Xuan's reaction, it should be that the gift was not very good-looking, otherwise Tang Xuan's character would rarely be so anxious.
"Xiaohai, be careful on the road, vision." Gu Zixing didn't care much about going down the road, and he gave it away as soon as he got blood, so it's useless to say more.
It was said that during the competition, Gu Zixing cherished words like gold, probably that's how he came about.
"Qi Chen went to fight against the wild, and came back to open the dragon."
"it is good."
"Tang Xuanhe Road inserts eyes."
"understood."
He didn't comment on Yao Le's operation and awareness, and he didn't know whether Gu Zixing didn't have time to pay attention to the bottom lane or because he really didn't have anything to say about Yao Le. In short, the atmosphere of the EG team's game is a bit weird.
"After a while, Qinggang Yinghui R will come in to force the group, save the flash and remember to follow me if the rock sparrow opens the big road to assist."
Fifteen minutes later, EG's bot lane tower was firmly in the pocket of TR. Tang Xuan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but he couldn't help but raised Yao Le's question in the first few seconds of the team's start. a request.
And the meaning of this request is as mentally retarded and ridiculous as if the aunt in the kindergarten is teaching the children not to talk to strangers casually.
Yao Le didn't speak.
Ten seconds later, Qinggangying really flashed E and opened a lot of Tang Xuan to block it in the middle. Yanque followed the R skill and sealed it from his second tower to the first tower of EG middle road. With a huge wall, Fu Xiaohai saw that he was going to be locked out of the C position, so he flashed to Gu Zixing's Q skill, which triggered a stun and knocked the jungler who wanted to cut Gu Zixing by the river.
Gu Zixing frowned, and directly opened the ult. He was not frowning because he was almost caught by the opponent's jungler, but because of Yao Le.
At this time, Yao Le was not only blocked by Rock Sparrow's R skill, but also hit a wall in a flash.
The rock sparrow's distance calculation was very accurate, Yao Le's protection skill was almost able to reach Tang Xuan, but it happened to be just a little bit short.
"Hold!"
Tang Xuan looked at his rapidly dropping health bar, angrily dropped the mouse and cursed fiercely, everyone was startled, even Gu Zixing, who had been working seriously, couldn't help but look back at Tang Xuan.
This should be the first time Tang Xuan swears in a professional game.
