Wa: It’s broken, I’ve become a cutting monster!
Chapter 379 The 4th place in the top 8!
After FPX, TE became the second team to advance to the quarterfinals. After TE's game, the winner's group final of Group D between EDG and G2 followed.
The relationship between these two teams can be traced back to the ancient times of lol, and G2 perfectly played the role of "water ghost" in the Valorant game.
During the Shanghai Masters, G2 came back from a - deficit to defeat the favorite to win the championship, PRX. In the subsequent games, G was regarded as the weakest "weakling" and was rushed to play by other teams. In the end, they fulfilled their mission and defeated PRX before falling...
The match between EDG and G2 will start one hour after the end of TE's match. It takes too long, so Dan Anyang and others simply go to have dinner first. When they come back from dinner, they can watch EDG's match.
If TE's ending was an absolute surprise, it was also a pleasant surprise. But before the start of the EDG game, no one was sure who would be the fourth team to enter the quarterfinals.
Although G2 is the second seed, their performance in the regular season is not inferior to the first seed in their own region. In the process of competing for the first place in the group, it depends more on whether the team can break through its own limit, because the championship game format is already very full, and if the loser group returns to the game, the time left for each team will be even less.
Therefore, facing the title of the first place in the group, each team will do their best to fight for it. Previously, the media interviewed the head coach of GENG and asked him which team he personally thought would be more threatening. The answer of the coach of GENG was unexpected...
"I chose EDG, which was beyond everyone's expectations. They are stronger than we thought, and they are working hard with a more humble attitude, which makes us feel threatened."
The last time EDG and GENG faced off, the score was close, which may be one of the reasons why GENG coach gave such a high evaluation. G2's team style is very obvious, that is, under strict discipline, with ICY's solo roaming, gradually opening up the situation.
The addition of Simon to EDG this season has provided a better environment for Kang Kang and Sommggy to fight against each other. Although EDG, like FPX, has changed its lineup this season, both teams have been able to update themselves on the way forward and constantly adapt to new things. This is also the current situation of Valorant. The version is constantly changing. If you can't adapt to the environment, the environment will stay away from you.
Entering the map bp phase, EDG, because of their status as the number one seed, had the right to choose the order of map ban and selection independently. EDG chose to ban last and then select.
G2 banned EDG's relatively strong Sunset City, and EDG followed suit and banned G2's Asia Sea Hanging City. G2 gave Icebox the first map, Winter Harbor, hoping to use it as a breakthrough point to disrupt EDG's rhythm.
EDG's map selection is very interesting. They chose to lock on the Hidden Monastery map at the first opportunity. You should know that there is still the "Lotus Ancient City" that both teams are good at. EDG's move is a test of confidence. It depends on whether G2 will ban Lotus Ancient City in the second round!
If G2 thinks they can beat EDG in Lotus Ancient City, then EDG will just use Lotus Ancient City in the second ban, but if...
"EDG's move to ban the rarely used Hermitage seems to leave the choice to G2. Should they ban EDG's Lotus Ancient City?"
"Although both teams are strong in Lotus Ancient City, G2's lineup is still stuck in the previous version, while EDG has broken through and developed a neon system..."
In the end, G2 played it safe and banned Lotus City! It was up to EDG to choose which of the remaining two maps, Deep Grotto and Origin City!
EDG finally chose to ban Deep Cave and release the Origin of the Great Wall as the third map. This is very risky, as G2 has won all the last four games against the Origin of the Great Wall!
So if the match today goes to map 2, the balance of victory will tilt towards G2. But it is not ruled out that EDG has a trick up their sleeve in the important town of Origin. And G is so confident in placing the Forest Winter Harbor on map , which may be because they defeated PRX in the previous game at the Forest Winter Harbor.
In fact, G2's return win rate on the map of Forest Winter Harbor was not high, but in the game against Prx, they returned to defense 5 out of 4 times and won...
In EDG's previous match records of Forest Winter Harbor, they won one of the three games in a row, which was a 13:11 victory against BLG. In addition, EDG used three different lineup systems in the three games, so EDG is still a little hesitant in this map, and there is a possibility of trial and error.
The lineups of both teams were determined. EDG chose the combination of Viper and Ko, with two forwards, and Qile, who was hanging a ball on the sideline. After losing to FPX's Senhandonggang last time, EDG changed its lineup again, replacing Simon with Ko.
I think for Gekko, KO is indeed stronger, but the team will also bear the risk of more difficulty in attacking. This lineup has neither Poseidon nor Gekko, but since EDG dared to use it in the winner's group final, it must have been practiced. What specific practice is still to enter the game to see the effect.
G2's lineup is the regular lineup of Senhandong Port, Qile, Geike, Poseidon, Hunter, Viper, a lineup without any breakthrough. This lineup will give EDG a lot of pressure when attacking, and this time EDG chose to attack first, not giving G2 a chance to widen the gap in the first half!
Both teams are good at attacking, so it is crucial to widen the score gap in the first half. In the pistol round, EDG started with two players going to the middle lane to forcibly remove Qile's chicken, and then Jingyin contacted area A.
After their chicken was hit, G2 directly chose to give up the control of the A site, and the positions were all to collect tolls, and they fought back to defend with EDG. The blaster was successfully installed. In the subsequent process of defending the site, Kang Kang pushed forward to the position of the police, and Justice killed two people in a row! Then Dash returned to the site, but Leaf Justice immediately responded with three headshots to kill three EDG players, instantly reversing the situation!
The two sides exchanged positions at the site, and Simon and Leaf were left with a 1v1 situation. Simon retreated to A to avoid being attacked, but EDG's site was a safe site, and the site on the second floor of A was completely invisible!
Leaf was already in a low health state at this time, and it was unrealistic for him to take the initiative to find Simon, so he simply put the chicken on the platform and unpacked the package himself!
Simon, who was on the second floor, couldn't see the bag's situation at the first time. Relying on his health advantage, Simon directly withstood the damage from the chicken and jumped down to the second floor to collect the leaf that was demolished!
EDG won the pistol round without any danger. Then EDG took advantage of Kang Kang's extreme performance and Simon's props to win 6 points in a row! G2 coach handed over the first timeout of the first half. After returning, G2 scored two points, but it was a bit of a last-ditch effort. The players on the field could not withstand EDG's fierce offensive. In the end, the score in the first half was 9:3, with EDG leading
