On December 25, the KPL Autumn Tournament is about to usher in the finale, Guangzhou TTG won four consecutive victories in the losers group to advance to the final, while the winner group eStar has been waiting for a long time.
TTG head coach Kear even made a bold statement after advancing to the finals: 4:0eStar. Of course, Kear said this for two reasons, one reason is that fake alcohol is harmful, and the other reason is that he and eStar head coach SK are indeed very familiar, and the two have not only met many times in the KPL, but were teammates of the same team before. Now that they have led the team to meet in the finals, the reunion of old friends must engage in a wave of opponent mentality.
However, it has been quite difficult to get a clean sheet on eStar this season, and no team has achieved this achievement this season. Even trying to win eStar at BO5 is a difficult thing to do, and only Wolves have done it once this season in the regular season, and the strength of eStar is evident. eStar this season has a feeling of entering the realm, the team system is very rich, the players are known for their operation, there is no shortcoming at both ends of the attack and defense, and what is more terrifying is that each eStar player has several super high winning rate heroes, such as Na KeLulu who won eighteen consecutive victories in huahai, Gongsun Li of Yi Zheng, the eight precepts of calmness, etc. A page of red records looks quite exaggerated. In BO7, eStar can get several sets of systems that he is very familiar with, and it is very difficult to resist these sets of systems to seal eStar. Therefore, against eStar, we must consider the long term, and the BO7 selection must still be considered for the next few rounds.
However, the eStar and Wolves matched to the peak, and Wolves still forced out a lot of eStar. Especially in the last few innings of Wolves against eStar, Wolves' selection is very targeted, Wolves' fifth and sixth innings are heroes with output ability in the first and middle periods, and eStar changes rhythm and plays against each other. In the early stage, as long as you grab the advantage, you will go to suppress the wild area of the sea of flowers. Once the flower sea is muted, the overall rhythm of eStar will become very chaotic, and Wolves will take the opportunity to speed up the pace of the game, hard to change the eStar Highland Tower, and not give eStar the opportunity to tie the economy in the later stage. Wolves' strategy as a whole limits eStar's play.
However, Wolves' playing style TTG is somewhat difficult to imitate, TTG has played slowly this season, averaging 21 minutes per game, ranking first among all teams, and TTG basically has to say hello to the Storm Dragon King in every game to end. TTG is good at mid-term pace, and it's a bit difficult to get them to transition to pre-mid-range fast-breakers.
However, Kear swore in the interview that they have played many training games with eStar this season and have prepared a lot of things for eStar, so is there a possibility that TTG really has a secret weapon against eStar? Personally, I speculate that TTG may have several big moves.
The first is the bilateral system, the bilateral system is very capable of fighting in the first and middle periods, which is just to restrain the eStar's style of attacking in the early stage. And can deceive a hand Ban position, so that Qingqing has a more comfortable side road choice, give full play to Qingqing's Carry ability.
The second is the single system, TTG this season to take a single belt system is very small, one is because the current version of the side to the Tan side is the mainstay, single belt side frontal team combat ability is too weak, the later lack of fault tolerance, the other is because now most of the wild need to eat economy, single band side is not easy to play wild. But Qingqing is indeed a good winger, like Luna, Mi Yue, Charlotte and other heroes are Qingqing's best skills, although this season is used less, but such an operational hero is suitable for the stage of the finals, if it is really hidden in 4 or 5 hands, it may have a miraculous effect.
The third is the nine-tailed magic stab, nine-tails has a special love for Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, two heroes, still remember the Nine-tails in this year's World Championship semi-finals to pull out Of Sima Yi, in that game played a miraculous role. This year's Autumn Decision Nine Tails is likely to make another stab skill.
After sobering up, seriously said that the probability of TTG clean seal eStar is extremely low, but TTG still has a chance to beat eStar, but I still believe that eStar has been stable throughout the season, and I personally predict eStar 4:2TTG.
