Chapter 1490: Luna Becomes a Version Trap?

The result of the first knockout BO5 was not unexpected, and most people were more optimistic about T1's victory.

However, what was shown in this BO5 was still a bit surprising.

Luna was not banned or picked for three consecutive games.

It's not that both teams don't know Luna, but because the two teams know each other well, and they all know that it will be uncomfortable to play Luna first and then Aphelios + Lulu.

And T1's Aphelios + Lulu can be said to be the best among these teams, especially the laning suppression power of Xiao Lu Bu and Keria are really talented.

Just like Kuro commented in the Korean commentary: Unless Lin Cheng goes to the bottom lane to play AD, he can't think of anyone who can suppress Gumayusi in the laning at this time. The T1 duo is in really good shape in this world game.

Chidi's ability to find output in team battles may be better than Xiao Lu Bu, but he is not a player who specializes in laning. In addition, Lai Fu is a weird guy, so GEN·G really dare not grab Luna first.

T1 is also very cunning. When it comes to BP, they always grab Aphelios first, and then look at the opponent's subsequent AD choices.

Anyway, it's Xiao Lu Bu's signature, so no matter what support Aphelios is paired with, it's fine for T1.

If the Emperor takes Luna later, T1 will lock Lulu.

If the opponent doesn't take Luna, T1 can lock other team-opening supports later.

And GEN·G didn't fall for it, and took three Miss Fortunes in the back hand.

Then they were sent away with joy 3:0.

Although the content of this BO5 game is mediocre, the BP game is still very exciting. The deep hero pool of T1 players actually has a great advantage at the beginning of the game.

Not only does T1's bottom lane combination hero pool lead, it can be said that the hero pool of T1 players in all positions is obviously better in the current version.

Although Faker in the middle lane is not in his peak state now, the team does not need him to take on too heavy a carry task. He can take traditional mages such as Clockwork Ryze, or take out Ice Girl Card as a tool man.

BDD is a little worse in this aspect, and this guy has a fear of science like Kuro before.

When he fights others, he kills with Leblanc and Zoe, and when he meets Faker, he messes with Time Tsar.

As for GEN·G's top laner Rascal, this version is not suitable for him. My signature heroes are not very strong in this version except for Shen. No wonder Budou got a chance to play in this group stage.

As for the jungler, Clid retired on the spot after Lee Sin was banned.

Although you are always the C of Lee Sin, it is useless to be banned every time.

Who is afraid of you with hero coins?

From this point of view, it is not surprising that GEN·G lost so easily.

And T1's play style and hero pool are very suitable for the version of this world game.

It is no wonder that the players are resurrected one after another and clamor to regain the status of the boss of the news agency.

October 23, the second day of the knockout stage.

Today's theme is still the civil war, but it is the civil war of LPL.

RNG vs. EDG.

There are many highlights in the first game.

Xiaohu picked out Irelia, and Scout imitated Coin Brother and used Malzahar to counter.

EDG picked out Luna, and RNG used Aphelios + Titan to counter ingenuity.

In fact, KT also used Aphelios + Lulu to counter Luna in the training match. RNG has studied it, and it may be safer to copy it directly.

But they relied heavily on Xiao Ming's teamfighting, and finally forced to choose Titan.

After a fierce battle, RNG finally won the first game.

The Chinese stream barrage was all brushing Coin Brother for causing great harm to others, and Malzahar seemed a little unreliable against Irelia.

But Xiaohu also learned from Coin Brother's tank equipment for Irelia, and even built Randuin. This wave of EDG can't be blamed on Doinb.

After all, Coin Brother studied Lin Cheng's Irelia, and Lin Cheng's Irelia would not build a tank equipment.

Xiaohu can only be blamed for his lack of martial ethics.

Malzahar suppressing the tank Irelia is equivalent to giving the ultimate to a front row, which is definitely very cost-effective.

In fact, in Lin Cheng's opinion, EDG's bottom lane should have had an advantage in this game.

It's difficult for Luna to fight against Elu, but after level 3, she should have a stable pressure against Aphelios + Titan, but both sides have been developing peacefully.

Although Viper is a strong player who can take over the game in the middle and late stages, his suppression in the early stages is still a little worse than that of Xiao Lu Bu.

Of course, it also has something to do with the support. Now Keria's suppression in the support position is almost unmatched, and it is difficult to find a support whose operation can compare with him.

Luna's loss in this game seems to have made EDG begin to suspect that this is a version trap, and they did not lock Luna in the next few games.

RNG counterattacked Lucian once, but they shook Lucian up and lost.

Then the two teams began to ignore Luna in BP.

No one banned, and no one picked.

Luna fell into the same situation as yesterday.

In the end, the two sides played five games.

EDG defeated RNG with a score of 3:2 and advanced to the semi-finals.

This is a historic step for EDG, a top eight team!

They finally made it to the semifinals!

They couldn't beat the Royal Club in the Civil War era in S4, couldn't beat FNC in S5, couldn't beat ROX in S6, drowned in the group stage in S7, and couldn't beat FNC in S8.

Now they finally made it to the quarterfinals against RNG, which has lost its dominance!

The fans are happy.

No more stinky quarterfinals.

Of course, the game was very lively after that.

The fans are only happy temporarily. If EDG loses in the semifinals, you can imagine how fierce the counterattack of soft fans will be.

Let's write the IOU first.

On October 23, 2021, Party A EDG E-sports Club LOL Division (EDG) owes Party B Royal E-sports Club LOL Division (RNG) a world championship trophy.

Unit name: EDG E-sports Club.

Borrowers: Li Xuanjun, Zhao Lijie, Li Yucan, Park Daoxian, Tian Ye.

EDG and RNG fans interacted intensively.

And the audience's discussion about Luna continued.

It seems that everyone has discovered that this is a version trap.

Isn't this different from the group stage?

At that time, all professional players said that Luna was a supermodel, and this world competition must be banned like Iron Man back then.

But Luna became C78 as the game went on.

In fact, the elimination stage of each year is different from the previous one. The main reason is that after the group stage, everyone's training opponents are relatively fixed, and the understanding of the version is more similar.

I found that Luna has a bit of a version trap. Maybe both teams in the training match will not use it.

Judging from the opponents in the past two days, there will definitely be teams that will put Luna in the future. It is possible that Luna will be directly abandoned.

October 24th, the third day of the elimination match.

DK and C9 compete for the third semi-final ticket.

After a not-so-intense BO5, DK easily sent away the North American brothers with a score of 3:0.

I don't know whether A P invited Xu Xiu to eat beef noodles on the day of the draw. Anyway, Xu Xiu was very ruthless in this game.

In the game between DK and C9, Luna also disappeared for three consecutive games.

It seems to have been forgotten.

It really became a version trap.

October 25th, the last day of the elimination match.

KT ushered in the opponent of this quarterfinal, MAD.

Today there is also
