Chapter 149: Extraction is so pretentious when going out?
"Si Bao has a big mouth!"
Miller shouted loudly: "Not to mention anything else, the hero Big Mouth's ability to deal damage is ranked in the top three among all ADs. He is definitely qualified to be the 'one'!"
"It all makes sense now!" Guan Zeyuan looked excited; "Xiao Ju summoned by Cuishen can serve as half of the front row, and has a good ability to retain people, and Cuishen itself is an auxiliary with protective functions! EDG has done its best to protect the big mouth! ”
Li Mufan leaned back in his chair and smiled: "Our system was developed thanks to WE and OMG's daily sparring! At least one-third of their contribution to winning today is due to them!"
"Hey! It's time for our performance again!" Jack geared up: "Look, brother, this one will cut down at least 50% of the damage!"
"First of all, you have to die suddenly. The opponent is a midfielder with Enchantress + Olaf." The director looked solemn.
This lineup is completely betting on the AD position in the team. If AD dies in a team battle, it is almost a guaranteed loss.
If it were any of the ADs he had previously partnered with, such as Xiaoxiao, Nami, and Deft, he would be more at ease.
However, Jack's nature was acrimonious, which really made the factory director uneasy.
"Don't worry, the old thief has given him special training for so long, so he should have made some progress. Besides, with our lineup, even if SKT rushes in, it will be difficult for him to immediately lose his mouth." Li Mufan comforted the director.
A war is imminent, and the opponent is SKT, a strong opponent that the LPL has never defeated in a BO5 before. It is understandable that the director is worried.
"Play hard, don't think too much, just use half of the strength of this lineup in the training matches!" Nofe came over and patted the factory director on the shoulder.
"Also remember what we said during training, you must invest more money in controlling guards!" Nofe explained in a serious tone: "This lineup is very strong in teamwork, but its weakness in the early laning phase is very obvious. ! ”
Lulu + Big Mouth are very capable in 2V2 in the bottom lane; even if Faker replicates the scene of the Long Sword Enchantress in the middle lane, he can only suppress Galio in the first five levels; only the prince in the top lane is considered a disadvantage against Kennen. .
But it should be noted that during the laning period, not only the people online are laning with you!
As mentioned before, Enchantress has a chance to get the lane right in the early stage. Coupled with Olaf, an absolutely powerful little peanut in the wild area, EDG is always in danger of being beaten by three packs of one and four packs of two at any time!
This is the fundamental reason why EDG's lineup is weak in the early stage - the midfielder's lack of linkage ability!
Fortunately, nofe thought of investing a lot of money in controlling guards, and used absolute vision defense to protect the team from getting through the early stage safely.
As for the economy wasted on controlling guards, compared to the strength of this lineup after grouping, it is not worth mentioning at all!
On the other side of the SKT players' bench, seeing Dazui's appearance, Dunma's smile completely froze.
There is no doubt that this is a complete lineup with four guarantees and one. Originally, I was still thinking that even if EDG took out the policewoman or VN, it would be difficult to make up for the team's lack of damage. However, in the short time he was on the scene, he just Forget about the big mouth.
"If I could have thought of this earlier, instead of banning Vampire in the second round, I would ban Big Mouth." Kuma thought in his mind whether there was something wrong with his BP, but he quickly rejected this hypothesis.
If he had banned Big Mouth at that time, then EDG could change their thinking and top lane the vampire and jungle prince.
Because of Prince's swing characteristics, EDG can adjust its C position selection at will!
This is where the red side’s fifth move is most powerful!
Dunma let out a low sigh, he actually lost half a chip in BP.
"I can't cut this big mouth!"
Little Peanut shook his head, "The prince's ultimate move is too restrictive for me, unless I change [Sprint] to [Flash], but without [Sprint] I will definitely be pulled by Lulu's accelerating big mouth. , so no matter how I use my skills, it’s difficult to limit Big Mouth’s output in team battles!”
In fact, EDG had already guessed that there was Olaf in the peanut hero pool. His hero pool was so deep that even three-ban junglers in the first round were useless.
But nofe still chose to kill Leopard Girl, Spider, and Blind Sin. Why?
Because there must be a prince in their lineup, and the prince can greatly restrict Olaf!
"Chengxun! This one may require you to make some sacrifices." The quick-thinking Wolf suddenly whispered in his voice.
Huni looked confused, should I make a sacrifice?
What do I, Kennan, have to sacrifice?
Faker, on the other hand, reacted immediately, "Chengxun uses AP! Indeed, in terms of the ability to cut through the back row and deal burst damage, AD Kennen is far inferior to AP!"
AD Kennen is strong at the single lane end, and his teamfighting ability is very mediocre; but if it is AP Kennen, it is different. The latter is a great weapon in team battles, a hero born almost exclusively for team battles!
If nothing else, you must have seen or heard of ‘Tian Lei’, right?
Last year in the S6 group stage, ROX top laner smeb Kenan used his ultimate move to kill four G2 players in an instant!
Although the mechanism of Kennen's ultimate move has been adjusted since then, and it can no longer replicate the scene at that time, but if they want to make up for the team battle and cut the back row, AP Kennen is still their only choice for this lineup.
"Do you want to use AP to fight in a group?" Kuma frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this path.
After two seconds, he shook his head, "No, using AP means giving up the advantage of grabbing Kennen and using your own shortcomings to defeat the enemy's strengths. This is an unwise decision."
If it were the version of Kennen in last year's World Championship, Kuma would have asked huni to change his outfit without hesitation.
But now Kennen has long lost his former glory, and the help of forced AP in team battles is only a drop in the bucket.
Kuenma’s brows furrowed even tighter!
The referee was already urging the coach to leave the field, but Dun Ma knew that if he kept going like this, the game would be over without incident.
He must find a way to target Big Mouth, a Big Mouth protected by layers of skills!
But the thirty seconds of the hero exchange passed, and the director had already started to turn the camera. Nofe on the other side stood in the middle of the stage, and Kuma finally took off his headphones with a dejected look.
Time was too tight, EDG showed its big mouth and made a direct decision, without giving SKT any buffer time.
In less than a minute, even if he is Triple Crown coach kkoma, he can't crack the ultimate trick that EDG has been practicing for more than half a month!
"We follow the established ideas and ensure that Chengxun is single-handedly on the wing!"
Kuma had already taken off his earphones, and he brought the microphone to his mouth and said quickly: "Play steadily, their four-guarantee and one-mouth lineup focuses on positional warfare, so you should do more pulling in front to give Chengxun the space to lead alone! I believe in you ! ”
As Kuma walked to the middle of the stage to shake hands with Nofe who was waiting there, the director also lined up the lineups of both sides on four huge screens in the field.
Blue side SKT: top laner Kennen, jungler Olaf, mid laner Enchantress, bottom laner Han Bing, and assistant Karma.
Red square EDG: top laner Prince, jungler Cuishen, mid laner Galio, bottom lane Big Mouth, and assistant Lulu.
At the LPL commentary desk on the side, Guan Zeyuan was still eloquently commenting on the lineups of both sides; "EDG has taken the lead in using its ultimate move in this game, a four-guarantee, big-mouth system!
However, based on the traditional big tree set of four guarantees and one, EDG has made changes. The addition of Galio and Prince makes this set of four guarantees and one not lacking in the ability to retain people. The unique mechanism of Big Mouth W ensures the stability of the entire lineup. The damage capability is also sufficient! ”
"Now EDG's set of four guarantees and one is like a war fortress that can be attacked and defended. It is difficult for SKT to break through from the front, but if they want to lead alone, EDG can just force it open!"
The other two commentators, Miller Doll, also deeply agreed with Guan Zeyuan's views.
"So EDG's release of AD Kennen is just an introduction, letting you go solo. On the front, I will choose a lineup that is invincible in both strong opening and team fighting. This huni is destined not to have much room for soloing!"
Although the blue side has the right to grab first, its disadvantage lies in this. If you play early, it is very likely that someone will crack it later.
After all, AD Kennen is just a hero who is good at single belt. He has not yet become as invincible as Tetsuo, Leopard Girl, and Captain. If he wants to win the game, he still needs to rely on his teammates to create space for him to play.
As a result, this space was infinitely squeezed and shrunk by EDG's backhand ultimate move!
"The red side's BP is really difficult to do in this MSI!" Wawa said in a deep voice: "But fortunately EDG has such a skill, and it actually brings out the red side's BP characteristics!"
"If EDG can successfully win this one, then EDG will be much easier to beat in the following games!"
"Without further ado, let's get into the first game of the match between the two sides!"
The doll raised his right hand forward, and then the live broadcast screen switched back to the scene.
The director zoomed in on the wide angle of the camera, overlooking the auditorium of the entire stadium from above!
The huge venue, which can accommodate 20,000 spectators, was packed with seats. Countless spectators waved cheering sticks wildly in their hands to cheer for their supported teams.
After the screen reached the top, it suddenly zoomed out, and the Summoner's Rift scene flashed out from the other side, perfectly replacing the stadium scene.
The game begins!
In this round, SKT lowered Braum's priority because they wanted to grab Olaf, which resulted in him being banned in the second round. The first-level team strength of the entire SKT lineup dropped significantly.
Although Karma is quite strong at level 1, it is still lagging behind Braum and is not enough to support SKT's strong invasion.
The passage in the jungle is narrow and congested, and it is easy to be ambushed by blocked vision if you are not careful. If many people are exposed to Galio's taunt, it is no joke.
In the end, SKT gave up the idea of playing a first-level team and only stood defensively before the wild monsters spawned.
Both sides were extremely stable in the first game of the final, but there was one exception.
Li Mufan went online to meet Huni, and found out that this little chubby guy was going out with an extraction, commonly known as a 'mining knife'!
Pretending like this? !
Li Mufan was shocked. Although the prince posed little threat to Kenan in the early stage, the extraction was a bit overdone anyway!
Kennen beats melee heroes like Prince who have displacement skills, and uses the E skill [Second Truth! [Thunder Armor]'s acceleration effect to extend the attack distance and avoid EQ control effects are the keys to the fight.
But without the attack speed bonus after using the E skill, Kennen is not even the prince's opponent in terms of pushing the lane.
If Kennen wants to continue pushing and suppressing the lane, he can't hold E all the time without handing over first!
Thinking of this, Li Mufan calmed down and began to stand behind the military line and smell the experience.
If he went up to attack his troops, he would be consumed by Kenan Ping's A. Before the third level, Li Mufan decided to try his best to stabilize his condition and prepare for the subsequent counterattack.
Fortunately, he can also use the Q skill to poke the remaining health soldiers remotely, and some soldiers who run outside the formation can also rely on the flat A to eat them.
After reaching the second level, Li Mufan first upgraded the W skill [Golden Holy Shield] which consumes less mana.
A W only costs 30 mana points, but the shield it provides is enough to offset Kennen's 1.5 draws with A. Li Mufan can take the opportunity to eat two minions with residual health, which is very cost-effective.
The camera switched to the top lane, and the commentators immediately felt relieved when they saw that the difference between the two sides' last hits was only two or three, and that Prince Li Mufan's blood volume was relatively stable.
"Although Kennan is a hero with long hands, his skill set is there." Guan Zeyuan talked eloquently;
"Both W and E can only deal damage under very harsh conditions, and the trajectory of the Q skill will be blocked by minions. The early line suppression is far inferior to other long-handed heroes such as Jayce, Gnar, and Lucian!"
Before the E skill point is fully loaded, and two powerful duel equipment such as Destruction and Ice Hammer come out, Kennen's single line strength can only be called average.
Only after these conditions are met one by one, can Kennen experience a qualitative change in strength and transform into a single-line monster that can resist and fight!
At the price of being four swords behind, Li Mufan steadily increased his health by three points. Facing Huni who was moving forward, he decisively moved forward!
The prince with Dolan Sword + [War Zeal] is not a soft persimmon who goes out to resist the pressure. What's more, Huni Extraction is born with 70 points less blood than him, which is a natural disadvantage in the duel!
Huni didn't panic at all with the E skill in his hand. When he saw the prince walking forward, he raised his hand to draw A preemptively.
But this move brought Kennan into the hit range of Prince W!
The visual effect of Prince W is only a small circle under the soles of the feet, but the actual deceleration range is very wide; Li Mufan knocked off the red bottle on his body and controlled Prince to rush forward against Kenan Ping A.
The shield of his W skill blocked most of the damage from Kennen's Q skill. The prince quickly approached Kennen. Huni then activated his E skill and pulled back. He was so greedy that he flattened A to the extreme!
Suddenly, a slender black shadow fell from the sky. The prince stabbed forward with a spear, and the target was clearly behind Kenan!
This EQ brings a little bit of anticipation!
The moment Huni saw the [Debon Army Flag] appearing on his path, he screamed inwardly. His brain reacted but his hands failed to operate in time. Kenan and the Prince who rushed over from EQ 2nd Company collided hard in the air!
The prince hit the ground with a crisp sound, and a heavy blow with the passive [Rhythm of War] damage hit Kenan, which took away one-fifth of the crispy Kennan's health!
Huni landed and started to move A. Although there is no Prince W to slow down, the long-range hero's natural basic movement speed is a disadvantage.
Kennen's 335 movement speed in long range is already quite high, but compared to the prince's noble warrior's 340 movement speed, it's still a little behind, and he can't keep the distance at all.
Kennan had already taken the Prince's Q and was broken. In addition, Li Mufan's [War Zeal] talent got stronger and stronger as he fought. After a few hits against the A, Kennan was knocked out with more than half of his HP. He was no match for him at all!
Fortunately, W skill [Second Truth! [Electric Blade]'s passiveness saved him.
Kennen's fifth flat A comes with a layer of passive marks, combined with the previous superposition of Q skills and the release of active W skills, to combine three layers of marks to stun the prince.
Huni quickly took the opportunity to run away!
Kennen's stun lasted only 1.25 seconds, not even enough for him to get another draw.
The two sides separated. Li Mufan got back into the grass to get rid of the hatred of the soldiers, and then walked back to the rear of the army line. He took some medicine and went up to exchange blood. After the fight, he still had two-thirds left, and he was much healthier than Kenan.
Now if Huni wants to take an aggressive position to suppress it, he has to think about it. If he takes another EQ, his flash will definitely not be saved, and his life may be at stake here!
At this time, the factory director was squatting in the river and secretly observed the movements of Little Peanut; Olaf was about to go up the road with his double axe, hoping to help Huni establish a single-line advantage!
Li Mufan was reminded by the factory director and quickly took a half step back, waiting for his E skill to refresh before daring to move forward.
"The factory director has a very sensitive sense of smell!" Miller couldn't help but feel, "He planted grass in the upper half of the area, and when it was time to harvest the vegetables, he went directly to the river to serve as a human eye! He also successfully found the little peanuts. Position, otherwise this wave may be blocked.”
"It's just a matter of running around to collect the vegetables later. Don't tell me, I think Cuishen is really suitable for the factory director!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile: "You can do both farming and squatting!"
When Little Peanut saw Li Mufan take half a step back, he understood that he had been exposed, but the information Huni clearly gave him was that the Prince on the road had not visited the river so far!
"I don't know either." Huni explained with a slight embarrassment: "He has indeed been under my nose the whole time"
"Got it, jungle on the opposite side!" Xiao Huahua said concisely, inferring that it was the factory director who gave him the reminder to hit the road.
But he didn't know whether the factory director directly guessed his position or came over in advance and took a defensive stance.
No matter what, it was difficult for this gank to be effective, so Little Peanut decisively returned to the jungle area to continue brushing.
Summoner's Rift is calm again.
Several people on the commentary desk were also studying the gameplay of the players on both sides of the game with great interest.
"The faker didn't choose to follow the same pattern as Scout!" Guan Zeyuan said: "He still went out with a Dolan ring and two bottles of potions, and his equipment was probably the traditional AP mage style!"
"I remember that Scout used Tech Gun + Lich at the time, focusing on AQ to steal damage. After that game, this outfit was still popular in the Korean server and the secondary league for a long time!"
"Brother Li will definitely not imitate you!" Miller thought very comprehensively: "First of all, the lineups of the two sides are different from those back then!
Previously, EDG used the midfielder Blind Monk and Enchantress to catch a Rambo. This time, SKT midfielder Olaf + Enchantress; the two sides were far behind in terms of early bursts, and what they had to face was Brother Fan's prince, which was difficult. Jump over the tower; so the long sword in the early stage is of little significance. ”
"Furthermore, the output task of this faker is very heavy. The single-point burst of the Lich and the technology gun is okay, but the overall AOE level is far inferior to the traditional AP equipment."
Miller's analysis was quite comprehensive, and the doll kept nodding in agreement.
During the commentary and chatting time, both junglers went home to replenish their equipment, and then went out to place the scout guards that came with their green eye knives at several entrances to the wild areas.
Both Little Peanut and the Factory Manager are afraid that the other party will invade their wild areas.
An Olaf runs rampant in the jungle, and a Green God steals the jungle invisibly. They are both masters of counter-jungling.
The game lasted for more than five minutes, and neither side had a kill yet!
This is relatively rare in MSI where the midfielder has a faster pace.
At this time, SKT's bottom lane called the jungler in the voice!
"I can't hold it anymore! Wanghu, come over to the wave line!" Wolf shouted.
EDG's bottom lane combination of Lulu + Big Mouth is already strong in laning, and Mei Kou is very good at Lulu, constantly consuming Bang Hanbing with AQ, and the shield blocks Kalma's RQ consumption and blocking very timely. EDG every time Bo Xuanxuan has a small advantage.
Wolf himself also made some minor mistakes.
Originally, Karma was invincible even if he couldn't beat him through the blood exchange, but he was invincible when pushing the lane; but after he suffered a loss in the blood exchange, he became a little bit superior, and used every wave of skills to compete with EDG's bottom lane combination. As a result, he has not been able to push past the lane, and his status is not good. Not as good as the other side!
Bang is already empty of mana. If he doesn't go home to replenish a wave, the gap will be slowly widened by the last hit. After thinking about it, Wolf can only ask the jungler for help.
Little Peanut was duty-bound, and after telling Huni to be careful, he went straight through the middle and headed down.
But at the same time, the factory director just finished harvesting the vegetables in the lower half and continued to plant vegetables in the upper half. As the figure of Little Peanut was exposed in the river below, Li Mufan realized that the opportunity had come!
