Chapter 226 The Price of Not Treating Your Opponent as a Human Being
The first game ended up lasting 32 minutes.
RNG did not disappoint the audience's expectations and successfully won the first game.
"Let me tell you, what can G2 do against RNG?"
iboy had an expression of "as expected" on his face.
Shen Lang heard this but didn't say anything.
RNG did win the first game, but a closer look reveals that winning this game was not as easy as imagined.
In the minds of most viewers, there is a world of difference between the strength of RNG and G2.
If this is true, RNG should have won the game with a crushing victory throughout the game.
But the reality is.
G2 was the first to find the opportunity, and G2 jungler Jankos found opportunities many times in subsequent games.
This game was definitely not a crushing victory, which indirectly proves that G2 is not completely without a chance of winning against RNG.
However, not many people can see this clearly. Even Shen Lang only realized this after predicting the result. When he watched this game in his previous life, he also felt that RNG had no possibility of losing.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, including RNG players and coaches.
After the first game, they returned to the locker room. What they discussed was not how to play the next game, but how easily they won the previous game. What they were thinking about was how to celebrate in the evening after defeating their opponent 3:0.
After a short break, contestants from both teams returned to the stage.
The RNG players walked with the wind, all of them were in high spirits, and as the losing side in the previous game, the G2 players did not look uncomfortable.
They also realized that their strength did not seem to be that great compared to RNG, and that there seemed to be a possibility of winning today's game, and the possibility was not low.
The BP of the second game started soon.
Although the commentator analyzed that the combination of Jhin and Rakan was very poor, the RNG coach banned Jhin in the BP of the second game and also locked in the support Rakan.
The lineup chosen by RNG in this game is even more abstract than the previous game.
ADC is still Lucian.
Xiaohu chose Lissandra in the middle lane, and Letme chose Shen in the top lane.
There is no doubt that this is a four-protecting-one lineup. RNG often chooses this system, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
But the thing is, you need to at least have an ADC who can carry the core in the late game.
Protect Lucian. Shen Lang really doesn't know what the coach is thinking. There are still many ADCs outside, even Kaisa is still outside. Why are you always thinking about forcing Lucian?
"This lineup is very strong. It's easy to gain an advantage in the bottom lane. With Lissandra and Shen, we can kill the enemy by crossing the tower very early..."
After the lineup was confirmed, Wawa began to brag about it.
This sounds reasonable, but the key question is, what if we can't gain an advantage in the early stages?
In this game, defense is always simpler than offense. RNG chose this lineup without any late game plan, which means G2 only needs to stabilize in the early stage and delay the game to 30 minutes, and they can win no matter how they play.
In comparison, G2's lineup selection is very smart.
The coach knew that the bottom lane could become a breakthrough point, so the support locked on Tam to ensure that even when he was at a disadvantage, he would not be easily killed by the opponent by crossing the tower.
The mid lane and top lane are just the opposite, with two strong heroes, Irelia and Akali, respectively.
Akali has no pressure at all against Shen in the top lane, and although this version of Irelia has been weakened many times by the designers, her advantage against mage heroes is still very obvious.
"If RNG can't resolve the battle within 30 minutes, this lineup can be directly used."
Shen Lang spoke frankly.
The game starts soon.
In the imagination of the audience and commentators, RNG will quickly gain an advantage in this game.
In fact, they did succeed in gaining an advantage in the early stages, and just over 8 minutes into the game, the bottom lane combination successfully used their laning suppression to destroy G2's bottom lane defense tower.
But the problem is that this advantage is not very obvious.
G2 adopted a strict defensive tactic in the bottom lane, and would rather let you take the first blood tower than give you any chance to fight. They dragged out the game time and focused on the late game.
Game time is 9 minutes.
Karsa's Xin Zhao was killed by Perkz's Irelia. Although Irelia was also replaced later, G2 still made a small profit because Xin Zhao got the first blood.
Then, for a long time afterwards, both sides were just developing peacefully. Although Uzi was far ahead in last hits, everyone knew that it was not possible to win the game by relying solely on Lucian's last hits.
Karsa frantically looked for opportunities, but G2's defense was very good.
They knew that they could win the game as long as they delayed the match time, so the players had no pressure at all. On the contrary, the RNG players became anxious when they saw that they were unable to break the deadlock.
It was not until this time that they realized that G2 was not a team that they could easily bully.
"There is a price to pay for not treating your opponent as a human being."
Shen Lang shook his head and sighed.
In fact, if RNG had chosen the lineup normally from the beginning, it would have been difficult for them to lose today's game. G2 is much stronger than netizens imagined, but Shen Lang believes that there is still a gap between them and RNG.
But the problem is that RNG did not treat their opponents as human beings. The BP in the first two games can only be described as "outrageous".
When the game reached 17 minutes, Akali teleported behind.
Lucian's equipment was very good at this time, but it is really easy to cut the back row in this version of Akali. Wunder did not make any mistakes and successfully took away RNG's bottom lane combination.
Akali's double kill was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back for RNG. This kill was very damaging to Lucian, as his development rhythm was interrupted and his economy was quickly caught up by G2.
In fact, at this stage of the game, it is basically difficult for RNG to turn the tables.
But even so, Wawa on the commentary booth was still saying that it was not a loss, because just when Akali killed RNG's bottom lane combination twice, Karsa took the opportunity to take down the Earth Dragon.
"Why do I feel like RNG is going to lose this game?"
As the game progressed, iboy also noticed something was wrong.
After the fight in the bottom lane, both sides were in a stalemate for a long time.
But the problem is that RNG's lineup has no late game.
G2's lineup became stronger as time went on. After Akali and Irelia's equipment gradually took shape, they became very difficult to deal with. Even ADC Varus' damage was very explosive after he made Sheepstick and Ruined King.
iboy really couldn't figure out how Uzi's Lucian should be operated to win the team battle against G2's lineup.
Sure enough, the game reached the 29th minute.
A team fight breaks out.
Perkz's Irelia entered the field directly to start a team fight. Due to the lack of damage of Lucian and Lissandra, Irelia was not killed immediately. Irelia took tons of damage. Wunder took the opportunity to teleport behind her, and Akali entered the field to reap the damage. They quickly won the team fight and took the Baron into their pocket.
After this team battle, Wawa could no longer say the word "not a loss". Anyone with a discerning eye could see that RNG had no hope of turning the game around.
"This is the price of not treating your opponent as a human being."
Shen Lang shook his head and said
