Chapter 166
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2016 Global Finals!" North American bearded host Riv stood in the center of the stage and shouted loudly, "This is Chicago, and the winner of Group C will be decided here today!"
< br>
The 4,000 seats under the stage were already overcrowded, and since this was a matchup between two Asian divisions, there were very few spectators at the North American home court.
"First of all, let's invite the No. 1 seed of LMS, second in Group B, FlashWolves!"
"Top laner MMD, jungler Karsa, mid laner Maple, bottom lane NL and their assistant Swordart, substitute Steak and head coach chashao!"
S6's FW can be considered a regular at the World Championships. Last year, they advanced to the knockout rounds with 4 wins and 2 losses in the group stage. Unfortunately, they met Europe's Origen in the quarterfinals and were eliminated.
This year they made a comeback, defeating JTeam sponsored by Jay Chou in the summer finals and successfully advanced to the World Championship.
However, their performance in the group stage was not ideal. Even against H2K and Euro Snakes, they struggled a bit and won with difficulty.
Although there were not many fans in the audience, fortunately the team members were in good spirits and still waved to the audience after taking the stage.
After the shouts calmed down, Riv raised his voice again and shouted, "Next, let us invite you, LPL No. 1 seed, the top team in Group C, Invictus Gaming!"
The audience below the stage instantly burst into huge cheers. The cheers and the muffled sound of the cheering sticks were intertwined, and the momentum was huge!
People who didn't know thought IG came to the LPL home court.
Under Vincent's eyes, Chu Ge led the team straight to the center of the stage, waving his arms vigorously downward in response to their enthusiastic cheers.
In addition to the already large number of Chinese international students in Chicago, there are also many local North American audiences who came to cheer.
In this World Championship, regardless of the home court factor, the two teams that attract the most fans for their style of play and bloodshed are Rox and IG.
The higher the level of bloodshed, the more beautiful the game is. The overwhelming confrontation always stimulates the audience's senses. This is the most popular way of playing MOBA games.
Obviously Rox and IG are undoubtedly the brightest stars this year, and even SKT's light has been somewhat obscured.
The IG team logo appeared on the live broadcast screen.
The lights were given to the players’ tunnel!
"Top laner Dow, jungler Ning, mid laner Rookie, bottom laner Wuxx, assistant Baolan! Substitute Kid, and head coach Mafa!"
Feeling the cheers of the audience, Chu Sing's palms felt warm. He returned to his seat and put on his headphones, and then said excitedly, "Brothers, today is our home court!"
"Stop saying anything," Gao Zhenning shouted eagerly, "Let me try the strength of the Wolf King, let him know what erosion is like the wind, get off work early!"
"What?" Rookie was at a loss. "Do you want to get off work early, or do you want to erode like the wind?"
"Get off work early, and keep grinding while fighting Flash Wolf," Wang Cheng pinched his knuckles and looked at his top laner with a smile on his face, "Pigeon, I heard that the opposite egg is called 'Piece' by the LMS audience. The number one top laner in the universe, you can’t educate him?”
"Number one in the universe?"
Chu Ge adjusted his sitting posture and clicked on the game after receiving the referee's command to start the game. "I, the Lord of the Galaxy, Luo Feng, can punch a universe, so what if I am first?"
"You are the tomato."
"Yes, the richest man!"
While several people were chatting, the BP screen switched to the live broadcast channel.
The person in charge of the commentary today is Guan Zeyuan and Ji Ji, as well as the invited guest Miss.
The three people immediately cheered up and said loudly, "In this game, the IG team that qualified first in the group has the priority to choose the side, and they actually chose the red side!"
"The main reason is that in the previous group stage winning rate statistics of the red and blue sides, the winning rate of the red side is about 49.4%, and the difference between the two sides is not very big."
Remember to look down at the data and think, "Maybe the heroes on the top lane nowadays are more inclined to heroes with strong laning ability, which indirectly leads to the increased importance of the counter position on the red side!"
The bans on both sides were very fast. Flash Wolf blocked Jace, Rambo and Kled, and continued to target Chu Ge's hero pool.
After all, in the group stage, Samsung taught other teams how to resist IG's tight offensive rhythm in the early stage. Blocking the core points of the top lane is the key.
Chu Ge raised his eyebrows.
You think this is the only hero you can use, right? Can the level of MDD and Blight be compared? Is this how you guys play?
IG banned Leopard Girl, EZ and Zyra.
"Eh? IG actually took the initiative to ban Zyra?" I remember looking a little surprised, "In that case, FW will grab Karma!"
You must know that if the blue side does not block Zyra or Karma, the red side will usually choose everyone to get a version of the auxiliary hero.
No one suffers.
But it is obvious that IG deliberately banned Zyra and deliberately released Karma to FW.
Char Siu frowned.
To be honest, he originally didn't plan to take the support position first, but planned to grab Syndra in the middle first.
With the status of the core in the middle lane improving, Ball Girl is definitely a well-deserved choice for the Top 1 hero, and her opponent Rookie is also a top Syndra user, so she is likely to suffer serious consequences if she is released.
But in this case, you have to choose one of the two.
But in Flash Wolves in S6, auxiliary Snake is definitely the core player of Flash Wolves, and his excellent command ability is the key factor for FW to maintain victory.
It is completely two people who will be given away by LPL in 2023.
In the end, Char Siu chose to lock down Kalma first. Otherwise, if IG took it away, the bottom lane would be gone and it would be difficult to deal with it.
IG was not polite, and first locked down the midfielder combination of Syndra and Blind Sin.
Immediately afterwards, FW locked Olaf and Jhin.
Berserker is a slightly different hero. He has strong confrontation and high damage, but his legs are a bit short. Therefore, among the BPs of professional teams, they usually choose Kalmati to provide mobility.
Obviously.
IG's BP strategy allowed them to get a good choice of heroes, but Char Siu was a little confused, and inexplicably felt that they were being led by IG.
It turns out they were right.
The third and fourth floors of IG quickly locked in the policewoman + Morgana!
"IG is doing great!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "This classic bottom lane combination is as good as Karma and Jhin in pushing the lane!"
When Zyra is banned, Morgana's W Gutter Oil's wave-clearing ability is definitely a good substitute. Coupled with the hand length advantage of the Policewoman 650, IG has almost no disadvantages in the bottom lane.
"But the policewoman's combat effectiveness in the mid-term is still a bit poor," Miss gave her opinion, "especially compared to the hero Jhin."
I remember but I don’t think so, “But judging from the heroes currently selected by IG, their hands are very long and it is easy to pull down FW’s lineup.”
The barbecued pork was also felt.
His first three options are too short, and he seems a bit embarrassed whether it is attrition or group play.
Karsa looked sad.
The BP calculations of IG's coaching staff are simply a bit excessive, and it is really difficult for him to play Olaf.
Lock the clockwork and crocodiles on the fourth and fifth floors of FW!
"Hey, the other side also bought something new?" Mafa joked, patting Chu Ge on the shoulder, "The other side is going to show off his sword to you, you have to respond!"
As for which hero Crocodile should choose, Chu Ge naturally has an idea in his mind. After all, three top laners are banned.
With Crocodile's line dominance physique, except for Kennen, IG must come up with new heroes for the rest.
"Give me weapons!" Chu Ge said decisively, "Let me see if weapons and crocodiles depend on ID, or just on the hero's restraint relationship!"
Based on their experience in training matches with the Flash Wolves, the best way to win the game is to attack them in the middle and jungle, and to be stable in the bottom lane is the best way to win the game.
Moreover, this version of the policewoman really can't beat the tower push flow system, and the hero in the poke flow will restrain him to death.
"Then take it!"
The moment they saw the Weapon Master locking up, the eyes of the commentary box and the audience lit up, especially when IG's top laner could always reverse the version and take out the hero to fight, it was simply not good-looking.
The lineups of both sides are finally determined:
Red square IG: top lane weapon, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Syndra, bottom lane policewoman + Morgana.
Blue square FW: top laner Crocodile, jungler Olaf, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Jhin + Karma.
With bursts of cheers from the audience, the first game of the two sides officially started.
"Both sides in this game must focus on the top lane!" Guan Zeyuan began to analyze. "If IG wants to win, it must raise its weapons, and then use the advantage of hand length to involve Jax head-on. Go singles.”
"Besides, it is very difficult to defeat the crocodile before the weapon has three items + the two-piece set of destruction. Based on IG's style of play, it is estimated that King Ning will live on the top lane."
"But when it comes to fighting in the jungle," I remember shaking my head, "FW's side is still more powerful, while IG's main focus on fighting in the jungle is anti-crouching."
"I still like what Director Dow said," Miss giggled, "There is no absolute hero restraint, it all depends on the operation and technique!"
"Hey!" Wang Laoer glanced at the equipment column below, "Dow chose the [Corruption Potion] as the equipment when exporting. This is a bit fierce!"
Both Dolan Sword and Dolan Shield have a bonus of 80 points of health. However, in addition to restoring health, the other purpose of the Corruption Potion is to increase the damage.
This shows that Chu Ge plans to fight the crocodile.
Both sides still started with a defensive position. In the bottom lane, Morgana had to learn W to push the lane, but did not learn Q [Dark Binding] to win the prize. The level 1 team still did not start fighting.
"That's not right," Guan Zeyuan suddenly discovered Hua Dian, "Jax directly went online and got into the grass, and the blind monk inserted his first eye directly into the grass in the river!"
Normally, the blue side’s position should be the grass on the river, and the jungler should be on the grass in the upper river.
However, as Jax went online and entered the grass in advance, this resulted in a defensive position being left vacant in the upper river grass. The jungler had to set up eye positions in the river grass in advance to detect the opponent's movements.
However, the current version does not have the conditions to insert the ward first and then go home to change the scan, not to mention that King Ning is still a blind monk.
For Li Sin, the importance of the first eye is self-evident, especially when faced with a hero like Olaf with full attack power, the accessory eye can very well help the blind monk escape.
"Dow's core position is very solid," Miss joked, "It means that in the early stage, before the green jungle knife was made, King Ning had to give up his advantageous line rights in the middle to fight against the invasion."
"Dow is going online early because you want to kill the Yin people in advance?" Guan Zeyuan asked confused, "If you learn E, you can indeed use the corruption potion to gain a wave of health first!"
The core of the weapon hero is E [Counterattack Storm], which, combined with the superimposed attack speed of the passive [Ruthless Strike], can quickly superimpose [War Zeal].
If it were the S1 version of Jax, E would still be a passive skill, and A would block the normal attack damage twice, which can be called a 1-on-5 hero skill mechanism.
This little crocodile is really not enough for him to fight.
But after all, it is not the case now, which means that level 1 weapons must make good use of the strong period of their combat effectiveness, so that they can be effective against most warriors in the top lane.
However, the weapon can only be stronger based on level 1. When the crocodile reaches level 3 and its anger is superimposed, the weapon will be useless even if it is E.
But...
Chu Ge was not going to give the Mimi Egg a chance to reversely suppress him. The trick of using weapons to fight crocodiles has not yet been developed in S6.
After all, except for the time when Weapon Master was Mr. Omu in S3, it is difficult for Weapon Master to appear in the game in subsequent versions.
After all, this hero's online ability is not very strong, and the team must use a lot of resources, otherwise it will be too difficult to shape the equipment and it will not adapt to the rhythm of the professional arena.
When playing solo, you can't play heroes like Sword Lady or AD Kennen or Gnar, at least the laning won't be too disadvantageous.
1 minute and 40 seconds.
The crocodile follows the army line online.
Chu Ge quickly took a look at his equipment and suddenly discovered that it was Dolan Sword and Blood Bottle going out.
Is this brother very confident?
The crocodile went online and did not see the weapon master. He pinged the signal towards the stone beetle camp in the upper half of IG in confusion, and controlled the crocodile to grab the level 2 line rights towards the soldier A.
"Weapons may be in the experience zone with the blind monk first," MMD quickly communicated with his teammates, "Is this guy ready to give in when choosing a weapon?"
After hearing what his teammates said, Karsa frowned.
The coaching staff's study of IG's video data shows that since the summer split, Dow doesn't really like to share experience with the jungler. What he likes most is to go online in advance to grab the right to line.
After all, although the jungle experience is divided, it can ensure that the top lane will be promoted to level 2 after eating the first wave of lanes, but it also means that it is impossible to press the lane through the strength of level 1.
He thought quickly, and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He quickly reminded, "Be careful in the grass. I suspect this guy came online in advance to trick you!"
"It shouldn't happen."
"Mimidan didn't notice Dow's position," Guan Zeyuan concentrated his energy and shouted loudly, "Now there is a high probability that the crocodile will be raped for free and half of the blood will be lost, and the start will be a bit collapsed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ge manipulated the weapon master to emerge from the grass, walked up to him and gave him a casual kiss.
The hatred of the soldiers was instantly attracted to the weapons master, and they collectively launched a bombardment on him.
Chu Ge immediately opened E and blocked all the damage.
"There are some details, Dow!"
Boss Wang's eyes lit up, "If MMD doesn't run, the damage of the fully stacked [Counterattack Storm] is a bit exaggerated."
"And he also has a green recovery effect. This is due to the [Corruption Potion]. This wave of damage is full!"
Every time Jax dodges an attack, Counter Storm's damage will increase by 20%, up to a maximum of 100%, which means that the number of minion attacks in one round is enough to trigger 100% additional damage.
This is similar to the old way of fighting against others by taking the red medicine. The signal is very obvious. This is not only to suppress the blood line, but also reveals naked murderous intent!
Mimi Dan also knew that he had been tricked, and he instinctively wanted to learn the unallocated skill points at level 1 to E [Rampage] to use displacement to escape.
However, the weapon stuck in his position, making it impossible for him to use the two E skills to move away. That was fine. What made him crazy the most was that the weapon could release E in advance to interrupt his movement.
There is not much use for him to learn E!
Even if he can run, he has no area-of-effect damage skills and cannot compete with weapons for line rights. Even if he reaches level 2, he cannot hit weapons.
So he had to learn Q, and then used Q [Tyrant Slam] to scratch Jax. Unfortunately, there was no red rage bonus, and weapon E can block 25% of area damage, so his Q could only scratch some blood. .
When he saw that the crocodile did not resist his injury, but turned around and ran down the tower, Chu Ge felt that this guy was already a corpse.
Two seconds is enough for him to hit A three times!
The crocodile moves at the same speed as the weapon, so how can it get out of the range of its E skill?
Chu Ge was not in a hurry and chased A for the fourth time.
At this time, the number of layers of [War Zeal] has reached 8, and the attack speed has been superimposed to 0.81. After equalizing the A interval, the cooldown is good, and the second E is played!
Another flat ace!
The crocodile's blood volume dropped by half.
After one second of dizziness, the weapon master took two steps forward and struck again with A, and the stack of [War Zeal] reached 10 layers.
At this time, the crocodile is still at least 800 yards away from the defense tower. If MMD wants to save flash, it will definitely be killed by level 1 in the line.
"MMD hasn't flashed yet?" Guan Zeyuanhe remembers being confused, "Dow has made it clear that he wants to flash into the tower and kill you!"
At this time, the crocodile's blood volume was less than 100 points, so he had to go back to the spring to talk to Grandpa Teemo after two draws.
Obviously Mimi Dan also knows.
But he didn't want to be too happy with the weapon. Even if he flashed, his health would be reduced, otherwise he would be followed up and killed even if he entered the tower.
At the moment when his dizziness ended, he raised his hand first and fired a flat A. Although the weapon raised his hand later, he received a 19% attack speed bonus at level 5, resulting in a faster action speed.
At the moment when the weapon's basic attack judgment is about to take effect!
After the crocodile hit level A, it immediately turned into a golden light and disappeared in place. Then the crocodile was stuck at a distance of 450 yards from the second Q skill and released the Q skill, once again lowering the weapon's HP.
The original intention of MMD is to block Weapon Master's flat A and prevent him from doing this damage, so that he will not face the risk of being killed by jumping over the tower.
But he didn't expect that his idea would come true.
But Chu Ge was more radical than he imagined, almost in seconds.
When the two sides move at equal speeds, they are in a face-to-face state from the beginning. Even if the crocodile flashes, it can only block him with one shot and draw A. As long as he closes the distance, he can hit one shot with draw A.
What's more.
You don’t have bushes, so why did you block my flat A again!
MMD uses the high-end skills of Crocodile, Qinggangying, and Nuoshou to fight weapons.
By blocking Jax's flat A, you can achieve the purpose of dealing two more damage with the A, and help you gain the upper hand in the duel.
But Chu Ge had used it countless times when he was still in Baiyin in his previous life, and it had become a little trick long ago. You thought your brother was going to kill you to make a joke, right?
Real Money is just that the rank is worse than the King. It does not mean that the details of the laning are poor. Otherwise, how do you think "Real Money" came out?
"Ah?" Wang Laoer frowned, "In this case, Dow's health can only resist two attacks from the defense tower, and there is no way to jump over the tower to kill him."
"Even if the attack speed is fully stacked, it still cannot reach 1.0, and cannot be faster than the attack speed of the defensive tower," Guan Zeyuan analyzed. "I feel that it is more profitable for Dow to turn around and clear the line to push the troops forward this time!"
The moment Crocodile Q raised his hand, Chu Ge followed up with a flash and hit a flat A. The basic attack with full [War Zeal] instantly left MMD with only a trace of blood.
See the scene of weapons entering the tower.
MMD's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly tried to turn the crocodile's head to escape, but he obviously found that he was unable to get out of the attack range of Jax 125.
He could only bite the bullet and change to flat A.
But
7 layers of passive, 0.86 attack speed, if you can get A, I will lose!
Bang!
The weapon master lifted up the street lamp and smashed the crocodile's Tianling Cap with a clang, directly emptying his health bar.
FirstBlood!
First blood!
The scene was suddenly in an uproar, and the audience of international students from the Chicago Theater suddenly widened their eyes.
Because the weapon was delayed for too long, the damage from the second defense tower almost fell on him.
A green light appeared!
It's not an upgrade, but the recovery treatment provided by [Dangerous Game], which directly raised Jax's health by a small amount!
Laser down!
Jax managed to survive with 5 health points!
"Oh my God!?" I remember looking at each other with Guan Zeyuan and exclaiming in disbelief, "Is this the computing power of Dow? Now that you're here, there's no reason not to kill you!"
< br>
"Weapon Master Level 1 is stronger than you Crocodile, so we have to seize the opportunity to kill you!"
"The most important thing is that MMD obviously made one mistake. When he later knew that he could not escape, he already tried his best to replace Jax."
"Fortunately, the crocodile's flat A failed to fall, otherwise Dow would have been killed by the defense tower this time," Miss patted her chest and sighed, "Just like I remember what the teacher said, the player Dow's calculation ability It’s so scary!”
The players on the field were still a little confused.
King Ning hasn't finished the second group of wild monsters yet, and his top laner jumped over the tower and killed him?
He turned his head to look at his top order, and unexpectedly found that this kid didn't drink water to pretend to be B, but he shook his head as if he was electrocuted.
He understood instantly.
"Your brain is overclocked again, isn't it!" Prince Ning was a little speechless, "Last time I went back like this, I was so exhausted. Are you ready to wilt at the beginning?"
Chu Ge’s overclocking is no longer a secret.
This kind of thing actually happens to professional players all the time, but everyone has different symptoms.
For example, the mid laner position requires quick pressing of skills, and the fingers cannot keep up with the brain's commands, resulting in muscle strain and cramps in the fingers; and AD, who frequently clicks the mouse to move around, may suffer from tenosynovitis pain.
Rookie also knew that it was nothing serious. At this time, he also joked in the team's voice, "Pigeon! I'm a superman. It's okay if I'm tired. I'll help you rush!"
Chu Ge quickly dunked B back to the city.
He took a long breath and quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He really didn’t want to overclock
It was just that the subsequent operation of the MMD forcibly affected his operation, causing the memory fragments of the [Grandmaster Level] weapon in his head to flash back and forth, constantly beating him.
I can only say.
His ability to capture this level of proficiency has something to do with his own talent. Otherwise, even if he eats memory bread, he will have to forget everything after going to the toilet.
This wave of Chu Ge was really numb, and he felt tired. Although he didn't feel as exhausted as last time, he felt that his condition had declined slightly. But... even in this state, there is still no problem in fighting a shipbreaker like MMD!
