Chapter 254 [Let Wangzai feel the tonnage]
After a short break, the players from both sides came to the player seats again, surrounded by the audience, and put expensive e-sports headphones on their heads. The high-tech sound insulation materials and the white noise in the headphones instantly made the players feel like they were in another world. A world that is incompatible with the lively scene.
"The audience at the live stage is so enthusiastic every time." Wawa sighed with a smile, "The performance of both parties on the field was exciting enough, and the audience's hard cheering was not in vain!"
"We just received the data provided by the director."
Miller held on to his headphones and looked at the paper in front of him in surprise, "The number of real-time viewers of this year's finals has exceeded the peak period in previous years!"
"Thank you summoners for your support and love for the players, and I hope the League of Legends Professional League can bring happiness to everyone."
Thanks to Tengjing's crazy money-spending publicity, today's LPL popularity has already exceeded last year's level by 1.5 times.
You must know that the base last year was already large enough, but as IG becomes more and more powerful in the LPL, it naturally attracts many new viewers.
Especially the top lane position.
This year, the number of applicants for the official youth training camp exceeded the number of shooters with AD Cancer City for the first time. 9 out of 10 students said they were fans of Dow.
After Miller thanked the audience, he quickly read a slogan from the sponsor's father before the game entered BP, and then switched back to the game.
"In the second round, the two sides will swap sides. We got the news that IG took the initiative to choose the red side, and WE will come to the blue side."
"After the regrettable loss in the first game, let's see what adjustments WE will make!"
As soon as WE started, they took the initiative to ban Galio.
Obviously, they are not satisfied with the performance of their top player, and they are not willing to let IG get Galio.
Homme is not stubborn.
Today's Galio system has yet to find a lineup system that can be cracked. Even IG is in an uncertain situation and will give priority to banning Galio to prevent him from blocking IG's rhythm.
Tabe signaled IG to ban Lulu.
Everyone knows that WE's tactics are similar to the LCK's style of play. The middle and jungle attract firepower, but in fact the bottom lane is the core point.
Restricting brother-in-law works better than anyone else.
on the other hand.
Zero is not very good at using soft support to help his teammates in laning. His advantage lies in roaming with the jungler.
Therefore, WE often reverses the version and chooses Bader to play with Kandi in the jungle to assist the rhythm, taking advantage of the lower half in advance, allowing the brother-in-law to quickly take over the game.
WE chose to ban the spiders, obviously because they were afraid of the deterrent brought by the Spider King.
Kandi is also his signature in Spider, but it is obvious that Redmi does not want Kandi to lead the rhythm in the early and mid-term, and also wants Peanut to get a convenient hero.
IG's choice is to ban Kalma,
As for the last ban player, WE blocked Jace, while IG sent Han Bing to the ban position.
The first brother on the bottom lane was originally Verus, but no matter how powerful the hero is, he can't withstand the sword of his fist.
Verus originally dominated the bottom lane because of a wave of numerical enhancements in the preseason. Now that his stats have been weakened, his priority in the bottom lane will naturally be lowered.
However, Han Bing was not affected, but was perfectly adapted to the broken equipment.
Whether it is laning, starting a team, or serving as the team's tool, he is proficient in everything, and has become a popular choice in the bottom lane.
Ice in S6 is mainly a critical strike item, but in S7 due to the enhancement of previous broken items, Ice has also become the beneficiary of special effects items.
Unlike Big Mouth, Han Bing does not need Lulu to be protected by bonding. Any auxiliary hero Han Bing is versatile.
main!
Han Bing can exert power in one suit!
Moreover, Ice's three-piece set is Ruin, Hurricane, and Green Cross. The equipment is very cheap, and the ability to cause damage is very impressive.
Tabe also discovered that if WE wants to beat itself, it must choose a lineup that grabs the rhythm in the early and mid-term, so Hanbing will become a key choice.
really!
Homme blinked sharply after seeing Han Bing being sent to the ban position.
Hongmi often does this action in front of the camera. The main reason is that his eyes are too dry, so he has to wet his eyes with tears.
Nowadays, there are not many characters that WE can play in the bottom lane. After careful consideration, Homme can only take away Verus, who is currently relatively strong in the bottom lane.
IG immediately backhanded away Syndra + Blind Sin, an extremely powerful midfielder combination.
The combination of Peanut + Rookie is becoming more and more tacit, and even Kuro, who is far away in the LCK, is a little jealous. After all, last year's Kuro always had an inexplicable loss of 20% in combat effectiveness when facing Faker.
But Rookie definitely won't. Even if he encounters a player who is in better shape than himself, he can quickly adjust back to his own form in the game.
It is obviously a high-end version of Kuro.
And
Because of the changes in the version and the existence of powerful teammates, Rookie today is not as anxious as he was when he was the dean, fearing that if he kills all his teammates, he will overwhelm the opponent.
"Wow! IG's move is obviously to offset the early rhythm with WE!" Miller couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Syndra is the line tyrant in the middle, and the blind monk is also the early rhythm driver second only to the spider in the current version. The blind monk is better than the prince.
The blind monk is more flexible in the jungle and has stronger one-on-one capabilities.
Especially after both sides have reached level 3, the blind monk's wild area combat capabilities and invasion capabilities crush the prince.
What's more.
The current version is still S7, and Riot has not revamped the river crab experience. This means that unless the junglers on both sides have a level 1 team design, they will definitely not fight at level 2.
The prince's strong period is at levels 2 and 6, with stable EQ flash and online linkage.
But here comes the problem.
In the professional arena, every move a player makes needs to achieve a certain goal, otherwise he may end up losing money if he attacks rashly, even if he kills the opponent.
After all
Every time the jungler appears on the map, the opponent's jungler can regain the field in the other half of the area.
Unless the prince goes to counter-invade the blind monk's wild area, he will never have an advantage.
However, WE immediately snatched away Prince + Shen with a backhand. This top and jungle combination barely had a certain linkage effect. Prince's powerful thrusting ability could send Shen into the crowd.
Shen is the kind of top lane hero that WE likes very much. Not only does he have strong ability to withstand pressure in the line, he doesn't need a jungler to help defend, and he can also protect his teammates!
"If we choose to go to the jungle this time, WE's choices in the middle and support positions may be greatly affected." Miller gave his own opinion.
After all, in the first round of BP, IG had blocked two soft assistants one after another.
If it is blocked again in the future, it may be problematic for WE to even choose a hero with soft auxiliary attributes.
On the last floor, IG took the lead in grabbing Zyra.
Jhin and Policewoman are both shooters that Zyra can match, and even EZ can barely match them.
The laning strength of the bottom lane basically depends on the support. As long as the support is comfortable, even if the shooter is countered in the bottom lane, the laning will not be too uncomfortable.
"Coach Tabe's drafting is very comfortable. He has grabbed a strong midfielder combination with almost no natural enemies in the lane, and can leave the counter position to the top laner."
"IG's top, mid and jungle will be infinitely larger, and there are almost no available supports on the field right now. Even if WE's bottom lane gets Verus, it will be difficult for them to perform well."
"It really doesn't work. In fact, WE can also let Zero take his Bard, which will make the laning a little more uncomfortable."
You talk about Miller and Doll, and I talk about it.
Both sides entered the second round of BP.
"Should IG continue to ban the support, or ban the mid lane? There are quite a lot of roles to choose from in the mid lane."
"I think it should be the ban support. After all, there are so many characters in the middle, and two ban positions are simply not enough."
During the analysis process of the two commentators, IG has taken the lead in giving the answer.
The remaining supports whose appearance rate is still good are Nami and Malzahar.
But these two heroes don't help shooters as directly as Lulu and Karma.
The hero Nami is paired with Verus, and the overall strength is very high, so Tabe selectively bans supports like Malzahar that can limit the hero's entry into the field.
Then, Tamu, who is often used to match Verus, will also be banned!
Miller couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this, "
"It's almost certain that IG's top laner will choose a character that deals damage in the face, right? Tahm Kench has even been banned."
"The living environment of this brother-in-law is still worrying." Wawa also thinks so.
"The upper Qinggang Shadow's restriction on Mystic in the mid-to-late stage is really too great. If the last wave is not guided by Dow's spiritual second stage entry, I'm afraid the outcome of the game is really hard to say."
WE uses two ban positions to limit the selection of IG shooters.
They can also target the top lane, but just like IG does not consider restricting the mid lane, there are so many characters that can be played in the top lane, and your two ban positions cannot be blocked at all.
Say it again!
With Chu Ge's bottomless hero pool, even if you use all five ban positions to restrict the top lane, it may not be effective. Investing your ban positions in Chu Ge is a pure waste.
They banned the policewoman and Jhin.
This has been a choice that Homme made after careful consideration.
If Policewoman and Jhin are paired with Zyra, the line pressure will be too strong, and the pressure on the bottom lane will be great. If he wants to help the bottom lane relieve the pressure on the line, he must make IG's shooter selection less smooth.
If you choose one among the three, you can only choose EZ,
After all, EZ will release [Tears of the Goddess] and there will be a period of weak output.
Just finished!
As expected, IG locked EZ in seconds.
When it was WE's turn to select players, they picked Bard first. This was expected by everyone, and there were no good choices in the main bottom lane.
You won’t choose a wet nurse or a gem, right?
At any rate, Bard's ultimate move can be used in conjunction with the jungler to rush in and start a team fight, and the E skill can help teammates pursue or escape by opening the wall.
The character WE chose in 5L was beyond everyone’s expectations!
Lancer, Lucian! "Huh? Lucian?" Miller was stunned for a while, "Does WE want to play mid laner Verus? Bottom lane Lucian?"
No wonder Miller has such thoughts.
After all...
In the entire LPL division, except for Chu Ge who used Lucian to play the top lane, the other teams selected him to go to the bottom lane. However, Rookie also used it to walk through the middle and swing it.
The audience began to talk about it.
Mid laner Verus has become the tear of the times. With the adjustment of numerical values, now special effects attack speed-flowing Verus is the mainstream gameplay.
Moreover, with a face-attacking system like WE, it is impossible to select a poke-fluent Verus.
So...
Lucian must be taking the middle path!
Tabe rubbed his chin. He expected that WE would fight for the early rhythm with him, but he did not expect that WE would fight so hard and force a two-shooter system.
"Can Kenan come out?"
After thinking for a moment, Tabe asked proactively.
He also discovered the weakness of WE's system, which is that C-position heroes generally have short hands and are very afraid of AOE damage. If you hit the road,
Both Kennen and Rambo can be excellent choices, and both Kennen and Rambo are fine in lane.
"Then let's take Kainan." Chu Ge wasn't picky about food either.
No matter what the opponent chooses, he can move AP and AD, but he is not afraid of using heroes to counter him in the backhand.
After a period of position changes, the lineups of both sides were officially determined.
Blue side WE: top laner Shen, jungler Prince, mid laner Lucian, bottom lane Verus + Bader.
Red square IG: top laner Kennen, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Syndra, bottom lane EZ+Zyra.
"Is it actually Lucian, the mid laner? I've seen Rookie play before," Miller did not draw any conclusions. "I don't know how proficient Xiye's Lucian is. This hero's line clearing ability and sensitivity are actually quite good. Ah.”
"However, WE can once again come up with something new, but it is because they have spent a lot of time studying IG in the past few days."
The mid lane shooter does a lot of damage in the early and mid-term. If IG wants to go head-to-head in the early and mid-term, Lucian's influence on the sidelines and jungle must also be considered.
Otherwise
The damage of the dual-shooter lineup will start much faster than that of IG, especially when Syndra's EQ is empty for the second time in a row, the follow-up will be Lucian's personal show.
Homme has confidence in this group of WE players, and he also has confidence in himself.
Not long after the coaches from both sides left the table, frequent and urgent signals diverted the attention of the audience to the broadcast screen again!
Both sides have no intention of invading the jungle, and their positions are quite conservative. The lineup of the first-level team is half to half, and no one can take much advantage.
The commentators standing at God's Time clearly saw that the jungle clearing routes of both junglers were a mirror image of the start.
And it seems that in order to prevent the other party from guessing the position of the jungle, neither party called anyone online for help.
"IG seems to be going into the bottom half this time, and I'm going to let Dow guide me on the top lane." Wawa was a little surprised to see such an opening.
Basically, the jungler's starting choice determines the choice of the first wave of gank.
Unless the blind monk chooses to quickly brush three groups of wild monsters in the upper half area to level 3, otherwise if he brushes from top to bottom normally, the only area he can gank is the lower half.
"It's normal." Miller explained with a smile. "In the early stage, it was too difficult for the blind monk to cooperate with Kennen to catch Shen. Leg Brother is not the kind of person who is easily fooled. It is a bit difficult to use him as a breakthrough point."
"Although Peanut's jungle style is fierce, since he joined IG this year, the frequency of ganks has not been as high as last year. On the contrary, the probability of counter-jungling has steadily increased."
"I guess his idea is to radiate the lower half of the area, at least to help Rookie relieve some of the pressure. After all, Xiye's attack is very fierce, and it is ignited!"
As professional teams further improve their understanding of the game, the skill of Ignite has basically disappeared in the middle. In many cases, it is only used by assistants to restrain the opponent's treatment.
Yes.
Compensating damage is only part of the reason, and more is the effect of reducing treatment.
And for online, especially single player.
Ignite is a purely laning skill, used to increase the damage during battles. In the early stages of the game, the level of professional players is uneven, and there are many opportunities for solo kills.
Nowadays, with the high concentration of professionalism, everyone has received more professional training and systematic training. Correspondingly, if the talent difference is not big, the personal ability gap between professional players will become closer and closer.
Everyone's calculation of damage and control of the kill line are very good, so it doesn't make much sense to bring an ignition at this time.
on the contrary.
TP can ensure you have a wave of fault tolerance during the laning phase. If the laning is not done well, you will lose too much health or be caught to death.
TP allows you to quickly recover and try not to lose troops.
In the mid-to-late period, the tactical value of TP is even higher, far beyond the pure line-fighting skills of Ignite.
TP takes into account both line-laying and operational values, while Ignition can only be used for line-laying. Professional players naturally prefer TP.
But this one?
Xiye actually chose to light it on his own initiative, which meant that his goal was clear.
Defeat Rookie in the middle lane!
"Old Song, be careful. If you light up the opponent's belt, I will probably kill you in the early stages." Chu Ge reminded his teammates.
"I know."
Rookie still had an indifferent expression, "I played against Xiye and we haven't lost a single match yet! Don't worry, I'll let Wangzai feel the tonnage of the broiler!"
When Chu Ge heard Rookie's words, he almost spat out the coke in his mouth.
Good guy!
Where did this guy learn all those fancy things?
Since IG does not have the conditions for a single belt, even if AP Kennen is weakened enough by fists, he can only bite the bullet and play AP instead of AD.
It is difficult for AP to put too much pressure on Shen in the laning. The main focus is team battles, so I chose [Thunder Lord's Decree] as a talent, and the rune selection was also double penetration.
As for going out, considering that Shen was not that big of a threat to him, he simply went out naked to maximize his development speed.
"Is there no Dolan Sword in the Kennen Mall directed by Dow? Why have I only seen him extract?" Miller couldn't help but praise, "Kennen's caution in the early stage is indeed an advantage."
"Once Shen seizes the opportunity to hit E first, Kenan's fragile body cannot withstand it. Dow dares to play like this because he is quite confident in his positioning and distance control."
957, who came online, naturally saw Chu Ge's going out outfit, although he also felt that Chu Ge looked down on him.
But one of the advantages of older players is that they are calm and not as frizzy as younger players. They want to sprint as soon as they take off their clothes.
In contrast, the 957 is indeed very stable.
When Dolan Shield goes out, his talent choice is [Power of the Colossus] instead of [Grip of the Immortal]. It can only be triggered a few times in melee and long-range combat. It is better to obtain a shield to increase his own tankiness.
For 1 minute and 48 seconds, soldiers from both sides fought hand to hand.
Chu Ge immediately occupied the grass on the line in the middle. Seeing that 957's position was relatively obscene, he simply let himself press forward and rushed into the grass on the line closer to the WE side.
957 In order to prevent himself from being defeated in vain, he could only temporarily distance himself from the opponent.
When he saw Chu Ge taking a step forward and walking out of the grass, 957 did not continue to retreat.
Kennen does have long hands, but because of this, he needs to be more stable and cannot ignore the opponent's line of troops in order to suppress the opponent.
Chu Ge's understanding of the military line is completely higher than that of the entire top lane professional players in the LPL.
"Maybe it's an opportunity?" 957 looked at Chu Ge who was moving aggressively, thinking about a strategy in his mind.
As long as we can seize the opportunity to lower Chu Ge's health, then Condi will have a greater chance of ganking on the road.
The shield of [Power of the Colossus] can be triggered by taunting him enough. With his level A combined with the damage of the minions, he will definitely earn the blood exchange.
Moreover, when Kennen crosses the line of troops and comes to suppress him, Kennen will attract the hatred of his own soldiers, which will indirectly push the line of troops forward to form a pushback line.
When the time comes, call Kandi and you can take action against Kenan.
Even if he can't be caught, catching a flash can make him feel much more comfortable online.
Think of this.
957 stopped his escape and took a step towards Kenan.
Kennan took advantage of the situation and hit a draw with A!
He found the right moment and took the initiative to hand over E [Second Truth! Shadow Binding], Shen's E has a casting range of 600 yards, while Kennen's basic attack range is only 550 yards.
When Kai Nan leveled A himself, it also meant that Shen would definitely be able to E him!
However...
Almost at the same time, Kenan was covered in snow-white thunder and lightning, and at the same time he used [Secret Truth! Thunder Armor], Kennen, whose movement speed surged, did not retreat straight back.
Instead, he moved sideways. Shen did come to Kenan's side, but his taunting failed.
On the contrary, after Kenan used the E skill to open a certain distance, he used his super fast attack speed to backhand another A-level serve!
"Oh my God! Is Dow blocking the minion's A again?" Miller's eyes widened and he looked at everything that happened on the field in disbelief!
Every time Kennen draws A, there seems to be a pattern. Almost at the moment when the blue soldier starts drawing A, Kennan will follow the move.
"We have seen this scene before!" Wawa also remembered, "He used this trick to tease Smeb, the top laner in the world at the time, in the World Championship last year. We thought there was a BUG at the time!"
It was only last year that the LPL audience learned about this laning technique, which is to draw A with the minions, and thus they learned that during the laning period, minions can be blocked with hatred.
Now that the scene has reappeared, many viewers are even more moved. After all, the last time this technique appeared, Chu Ge was just an unknown, or even "notorious" newcomer.
In fact, this little skill appeared relatively late. It was not until a certain Afghan mid laner's Korean server ranking was recorded and edited by the UP team that later generations gradually learned that this kind of skill existed.
But
So what if I knew.
Many players simply cannot grasp the sense of rhythm. If you make a slight mistake, the hatred of the minions will be concentrated on you and they will fire a volley at you.
But now?
His opponent is Chu Ge!
957 was dumbfounded.
As Kennen launched his third basic attack, [Thunder Lord's Decree] was instantly triggered!
Shen must retreat, his health cannot hold him.
"Is this guy really a monster?" 957 was a little helpless. Fortunately, he was Shen and had the reply of Dolan Shield.
As a result, the blood loss was unstoppable!
