Chapter 254 The Battle of the Top Hope
The two players coordinated perfectly, like a well-coordinated team on the battlefield, repeatedly invading C9's jungle and disrupting C9's jungler's rhythm. At the same time, CJ formed a powerful pushing combination with Karma, frequently putting pressure on C9's defenses and creating immense pressure for their opponents.
With Crown's brilliant counter-kill in the mid lane, the tide of the game was instantly turned.
Samsung's momentum was like a surging tide, unstoppable. With excellent teamwork, they repeatedly found opportunities in the top, mid, and bottom lanes, constantly expanding their advantage.
In the top lane, Samsung's top laner successfully suppressed C9's top laner with his superb skills and precise timing, securing multiple solo kills; in the mid lane, Crown's Cassiopeia maintained an advantage, not only suppressing C9's mid laner but also frequently supporting other lanes to help his teammates establish an advantage.
In the bot lane, the combination of CJ and ADC Jhin, with their strong wave clear and excellent teamfight damage output, made C9's bot lane duo suffer greatly.
Despite the fierce attacks from Samsung, C9 has been putting up a desperate fight, trying to find a chance to turn the tide, but judging from the current situation, everything seems so powerless.
Samsung has extended its advantage to all three lanes, and C9's defense is crumbling. Losing the game seems to be only a matter of time, and the hope of a comeback is extremely slim.
For the C9 team players, this kind of competition is undoubtedly an ordeal.
They watched helplessly as their opponents gradually expanded their advantage, unable to find an effective way to counter it. Each lost team fight and each destroyed tower weighed heavily on their hearts.
However, they did not give up and continued to look for opportunities to try to turn the situation around.
With the competition having progressed to this point, the audience and commentators at the scene already knew the answer.
Since C9 is from the North American region, the North American audience at the scene was inevitably somewhat disappointed.
Although they knew in their hearts that their team was not as strong as Samsung, they still held a sliver of hope that C9 could create a miracle and show a refreshing performance in such an unfavorable situation.
Their eyes were fixed on the big screen, hoping that C9 could launch a desperate counterattack.
However, as the match progressed, hope gradually faded. Samsung's advantage grew, and C9's resistance became increasingly difficult.
Ultimately, their ideals failed to materialize, and C9's defeat in this match was inevitable. Although the audience was filled with regret, they still applauded C9's efforts and perseverance.
In the final stages of the match, Samsung pressed their advantage and launched a final all-out attack.
With their superior skills and excellent teamwork, they easily broke through C9's last line of defense and won the game.
As the final whistle blew, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd. The Samsung team players cheered and celebrated their victory. Meanwhile, the C9 team players silently lowered their heads, accepting the reality of their defeat.
This match not only tested the strength of the two teams, but also showed us the charm and cruelty of esports.
At the 25-minute mark, Samsung, with the Baron buff, pushed straight up to C9's bottom lane inhibitor.
Furthermore, after wiping out the opponent, Yaoku decisively won the match.
Throughout the game, except for the first four minutes, both sides were still developing the situation.
After that, the economic gap between the two sides was gradually widened by SSG.
Especially the wave in the middle lane, which directly allowed the snake girl to get the first blood and completely opened up the rhythm of the entire game.
The saying "a single hair can affect the whole body" is now deeply understood by the C9.
The loss in the first match was a huge blow to C9, because they knew very well that there was still a significant gap in strength between the two sides.
In the first fight, since both sides are unfamiliar with each other, there seems to be a chance that one side will use some tactics or rely on some other tactics to achieve the final victory.
But in this game, he didn't see any chance from beginning to end, and ultimately lost the game helplessly.
This is a huge psychological blow to the players.
Because this is a best-of-five series, every remaining match is extremely important for Hanwan Erchun.
The psychological pressure of competing puts immense demands on a player's skills. In the following two matches, SSG, playing with increasing ease, became unstoppable, winning both games without a doubt.
The current C9 players feel a deep sense of despair.
And this despair made them breathless.
From the start till now, they have not had any chance in the three games.
Moreover, compared to SKT, the pressure brought to them by SSG seems to be greater.
SKT may still make some irrational moves, but Samsung has always been playing steadily and not giving them any chances at all.
Even every wave of decision-making is done flawlessly.
Such a match was a huge blow to their confidence.
After the match ended, the C9 players sighed helplessly.
Although they had already thought about losing the game from the beginning.
But in the end, they still hope to use their own operations to win the game.
But now, the opponent did not give them any chance and won the game without any suspense. They were beaten to pieces and did not look like a strong team at all.
This is very disappointing for them as they are playing at home.
I don’t know how to face the fans who have always supported them, nor do I know how to face myself who has been training hard.
This was arguably their most promising year yet, but they ended their World Championship journey with a score of 0-3, becoming the first team in 187L to be eliminated.
Every contestant was still very unwilling to accept such a result.
That's just how esports is; the winner takes all and the loser is condemned. Because of my own lack of skill, I lost the match. Even with a thousand regrets, I can only silently endure it.
After today's match, the pressure on RNIG has increased even more.
SSG's performance in this best-of-five series perfectly demonstrates the strength of the entire LCK region. As the region with the best performance in best-of-five series, every team in the LCK...
The win rate in BO5 matches is exceptionally high. Tomorrow, RNG will face the challenge of SKT, who are considered the biggest hope of the LCK this year and the most dominant team in the entire LCK. Under these circumstances, RNG's future and the performance of its players will be a huge challenge.
After watching today's match, CPL fans were also worried for RNG, unsure of their performance. But everyone had a reluctant answer: with RNG's current strength, it would be very difficult for them to clash with SKT. The only hope seemed to be a miracle.
The RNG players did sufficient relaxation training before the match, hoping to perform better. However, when the match actually arrived, the tension on the RNG players' faces was still noticeable.
There's no other way; they've come to this World Championship full of expectations, hoping to showcase their talent and perform to their full potential.
But unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. In the quarterfinals, they met the strongest opponent at present.
SKT from the LCK region.
Although they practiced extensively with Flash Wolves before the match, drafting many unconventional lineups and practicing multiple lane combinations, their mentality became tense once they arrived on the field, unable to maintain the same ease as in practice matches. Every decision, every draft pick, could potentially determine the course of the game.
Both coaches and players are incredibly nervous right now, hoping to deliver a stable performance in this match and create their own world championship success.
The commentary lineup for this match is unprecedentedly strong, featuring the Haier Brothers.
The Haier Brothers currently hold an undisputed top-tier position in the commentary world. Their appearance in this match signifies CPL's attention to the game and their hope that RNG can achieve a good result. However, the Haier Brothers can only provide exciting and engaging commentary; the final outcome of the match will depend on the performance of both players. After the match began, both sides focused their first bans on their respective junglers.
SKT, on the blue side, banned Nidalee without hesitation. Nidalee's jungle clearing ability is unmatched, which perfectly matches SKT's fasting jungle strategy. If he gets Nidalee, he is likely to put more pressure on the lanes and find his rhythm in the jungle.
This was clearly a situation SKT didn't want to encounter, so they immediately banned Nidalee without hesitation.
RNG clearly understood this, and with Nidalee banned first, they immediately banned Olaf. The effectiveness of Olaf's picks yesterday was undeniable, and banning him now was indeed a better choice. However, their second ban was specifically aimed at RN's bot laner, Uzi.
They banned Caitlyn, a champion he's very good at. Compared to Bang, Uzi's understanding of Caitlyn is so good that he's practically a pro.
After getting the hero Caitlyn, with Mata's strong performance in the bottom lane, they can push the tower and kill the enemy in most cases.
SKT cannot let such a hero who snowballs in the early stage appear in any case.
It is foreseeable that the probability of female police officers playing in the entire game will not be very high.
They might all be banned, which would be a huge loss for RNG.
Under such circumstances, RNG once again targeted SKT's jungler and directly killed the hero Spider.
Overall, this version is very dependent on the jungler.
Especially when playing a hero who has gained an early advantage, they can perform exceptionally well.
In such a situation, a jungler who is good at setting the pace in the early game is definitely worthy of a ban.
In the last ban, [this player directly banned Syndra, the champion currently banned by the Terrorist b6].
Syndra is a champion that is consistently either banned or picked in competitive play.
Judging from the current situation, Syndra always performs well every time she appears. In subsequent games, the chances of this hero appearing are also very small.
In this BO5 match, it is also difficult to get a chance to play at this point.
In the last hand, RNG killed the big devil's Ryze.
Ryze is a champion that truly requires a high level of skill from the player in lane.
If it is taken by a strong player, it may really become a point that cannot be targeted.
So after hesitating for a long time, RNG gave Faker enough respect and banned Ryze, one of his famous heroes.
After the ban ended, both sides entered the selection stage.
After these three bans, the Haier Brothers also showed some difficulty.
Especially in the final selection, Haier's skilled craftsmen tend to favor the hero who can handle the rain.
It can be seen from these games that whether Fan Zi Ma moves to the middle or the bottom, she will become a very difficult point to deal with.
However, RNG ultimately decided to ban Faker's Ryze.
This point of Fan Zi Ma may become a hidden danger for RNG.
# I think Karma should be targeted a bit. Karma's performance yesterday was just too good. This champion can perform well whether playing mid or bot.
"To be honest, after this hero was released, I felt that SKT would definitely get it first no matter what. I wonder what kind of countermeasures Shim G-Minmai has in store?"
Commentator Miller had been somewhat worried. In fact, according to his thinking, Karma's priority should definitely be higher than Ryze's. But now, he could only watch helplessly as, although he expressed his thoughts, nothing substantial would change.
As expected, RNG locked in the hero Fantasy without hesitation.
The thing that the two of them were most worried about finally happened.
"I didn't expect SKT to actually pick this champion. This will put RNG's counter-strategy to the test. I believe that since they dared to let Karma go, they must have already thought of a counter-strategy. I'm looking forward to their next choice."
Wawa said this somewhat helplessly. Judging from his words, he was still very confident in RNG.
But deep down, I'm still very worried about this point regarding Fanzi's mother. Will she be able to provide a sufficient response? Or will unexpected situations arise?
After Fanziya was chosen, RNG took the hero Jayce as the top unit.
In the current version, the proportion of the top lane has gradually been strengthened, and the hero Jayce's suppression power in the early stage is absolutely self-evident.
Acquiring this hero now undoubtedly brings more variables to RNG, at least in the top lane, it's still a favorable matchup. (End of Chapter)
