Chapter 387 Focus Battle: RPG vs. Big Turtle
On the night after the quarterfinals, the organizers of the event also directly announced the next schedule.
Today is Tuesday, October 20th. In the next few days, the four teams will have rest and preparation time. Four days later, Saturday, October 24th, will usher in the first match in the semi-finals.
Of course, there are only two games in the semi-finals. The first game is Saturday, October 24th, and the second game is the next day, October 25th.
It is all from 3pm to 9pm, and it is the prime time with the most audience traffic.
As for the final, it is scheduled for the next week and will open at six o'clock on Saturday, October 31.
The winners of the semifinals will compete for a seat in the finals.
As for the failure, it is frozen in the semi-finals.
According to the rules of the event, the finals are not like the playoffs, and there is also the third and fourth third and palace troops. In the World Championship, there is only one title:
That's the world champion!
In addition to the two games this weekend, the two time periods of the game teams have also announced:
The first game, Saturday's game, was: RPG vs. The Big Turtle.
The second game is naturally Suning vs. Taobo.
After the grouping of the semi-finals was released, each competition area also gave different evaluations for such grouping.
In fact, it is said that it is in each competition area, but in fact only two competition areas are left.
LPL and LCK Divisions.
The audience in the LPL region are undoubtedly in high spirits. It can be said that this is the first time that three teams have advanced to the semi-finals since the LPL region participated in the World Championships to now.
That is the so-called three guarantees and one! This means that there must be a team on LPL that can advance to the finals. Of course, if the RPG team can defeat the Big Turtle, then this World Championship will be a civil war in the LPL region!
This is something that the audience in the LPL region dared not think about in the past. But this year, it seems that this goal that he dared not think is right in front of him.
Speaking of the game between RPG and the Big Turtle Team, it is a battle that the audiences focus on in the semi-finals.
It's very simple. First, because of the Sino-Korea war, this is a long-lasting topic.
The second is the current status of the two teams, one is the No. 1 seed in the LPL region and the other is the No. 1 seed in the LCK region. These two teams are also favorites to win the World Championship. They should have been recognized as teams that meet in the finals, but they did not expect to meet in advance in this year's semi-finals.
The recent state of the two teams can be called unstoppable and in very good condition. Although RPG lost to Gtwo in the quarterfinals, it was a mistake in the selection of heroes after all, and no one would doubt their strength. Not to mention the Big Turtle Team, thanks to its extremely suppressive operational style, directly took DRX away 3:0 in the quarterfinals.
Moreover, for the two teams, what is more similar is that both teams have very clear Kairui points, which is the so-called ace players.
RPG is naturally the big brother. Whether it is the big brother's support or the top laner, they have reached the point of no one. Even the dad, who was previously called the world's number one top laner, is simply vulnerable in front of the big brother. As for the general world-type top laner, there is no need to say much. For example, wunder, who was beaten by the big brother in four games and three games, doubting his life, which made the so-called LEC ace top laner look ruined.
And the Kairui point on the Big Turtle is actually two people - mid laner Snowyon.
Both of these two are among the top five in the world rankings. It is no exaggeration to say that the middle and wild turtle of the middle and wild turtle is the strongest middle and wild combo among all the teams!
So, for the audience now, the biggest highlight is the collision between RPG's big brother and the big turtle Nakano.
Whether it is the big brother who can set up the rhythm in other positions, or the Big Turtle's Nakano can control the situation of the game, this is something that fans in both competition areas are very concerned and curious about.
And another point is the audience's predictions of the two teams.
To be honest, although RPG and the Big Turtle showed great dominance in the front, when the two teams collided, the audience should still be more optimistic about the Big Turtle.
Including the commentators in the LPL division, if they analyze it rationally, they are also optimistic about the big turtle.
The reason is also very simple. Almost all of the members of the Big Turtle team are among the top 20 players in the world, and what about RPG?
Only the eldest brother is the first place, and Gali is elected to the top 20 and is still a relatively low position.
There are only two people in the RPG team in the top 20 in the world, and what about the Big Turtle? Except for the support, they are all in the top 20, or even the top 10. In this comparison, the gap between the two sides is a clear judgment!
Therefore, although the eldest brother is the world's number one now, everyone is not particularly optimistic about the performance of RPG when facing the big turtle next.
Now, it depends on both sides. Whether the big brother is stronger and can drive the rhythm of the game, or whether the middle and wilderness on the big turtle side are stronger and can suppress the big brother.
The focus between the two teams is above the Kairui point.
Especially the RPG team. After all, the current RPG still relies very much on the performance of the big brother. Although everyone has performed well in the world championship, everyone's performance is unstable, especially Xiaolongbao. Although there are highlight moments, whether it can maintain its original level in the face of the so-called "current world number one jungler canyon" of the Big Turtle is a question that everyone is more worried about.
Therefore, RPG still depends more on the performance of the elder brother. Only after he takes the lead in opening up the situation can the rest of RPG perform better.
In fact, this is basically the case in almost every game, especially when Chu Ge plays on the road, as long as Chu Ge plays an advantage on the road, Xiaolongbao will feel much better in the jungle area and can even counter the opponent's jungler. Moreover, in the world game, almost all the outstanding performances played by Xiaolongbao are based on Chu Ge's advantage.
Another key point for RPG is the position of the middle lane.
The Big Turtle's Snowmaker was called second in the world by many viewers, commentators and even media. Especially after a few rounds of the World Championship, when Gold's right hand slammed a few times, Snowmaker's second-place seat became stronger.
He is the second in the world, which is enough to reflect his strength in the mid lane position.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the power of Snowmaker is not how gorgeous the operation is, nor how big the advantages it can make online, and how many counterattacks it has caused. In fact, these Snowmakers are not outstanding in these aspects. In fact, the reason why his strength is rated as the second in the world is his team cooperation.
He can always appear at the right place at the right time, and in small-scale team battles or support team battles, he can always take a step faster than other mid-lanes, forming a situation where more fights less.
Of course, Snowmaker's personal ability ranks among the top in the professional mid-lane. However, in addition to being the top in his own operations and the deep hero pool, he has more support attributes than other mid-lane operations!
For example, some professions are good at playing operations, some professions are good at playing teamwork, but what about Snowmaker?
He is good at both styles!
If you let him play a hero like Demon Chindra, he can play it, and if you let him play a functional mid laner like a card, he can even take advantage of it. Even a supporting mid laner like Lulu can take action.
Therefore, for RPG, if Snowmaker's role in the game can be reduced and the decision-making power of the game is handed over to Gali and the elder brother, then RPG's advantages can be highlighted.
On this issue, RPG also racked its brains, hoping to give full play to such advantages during the game.
And the big tiger...
To be honest, Dahu's performance was not outstanding in the World Championship. Although he has not made any mistakes until now, in the World Championship, not performing means mediocrity.
So the coach did not have much Kairui's expectations for Dahu. Everyone just hoped that when Dahu faced Snowmaker, as long as he could go against the Snowmaker, he might not be able to beat Snowmaker, but at least he had to play a 50-5 online opening.
At this time, the game has not yet begun, but it is already undercurrents, and the time to test the coaching teams of both sides is already here.
When RPG analyzing large turtles, the large turtles were also conducting targeted research on RPGs.
Compared with RPG, all aspects of the big turtle are more balanced.
Therefore, when doing targeting and research, the big turtle also has more advantages.
They knew that Chu Ge could swing many positions, so the big turtle's idea was:
No matter where Chu Ge plays, you only need the party seats and go and watch Chu Ge.
The players who faced Chu Ge didn't ask for any advantage. As long as they could limit Chu Ge and let others play, the Big Turtle would be sure to win this game.
After all, from the perspective of the players' strength, in terms of the match between the two sides, except for Chu Ge, a big turtle, who can't suppress the remaining points, all of them can be easily suppressed.
Moreover, they are all top professional players. Even if they can't suppress Chu Ge, they believe that they can still do it.
