Chapter 13: Grab LeBlanc
The fourth game of BO5 is about to begin. Wang Duoduo, the commentator of this game, is also giving his final game commentary: "There is no need for two ounces of wine to slay a dragon. You can only rely on the three-foot sword and the strong wind! In the third game that just ended, , the mid laner JOJO of the RA team relied on the amazing performance of the wind swordsman Yasuo to lead his teammates to successfully regain the victory and rewrite the score to 1:2. "
"Is it that the JOJO players of the RA team can continue their hot form and lead their teammates to comeback against the odds, or are all the members of the LNG team readjusting their mentality and not giving everyone in RA a chance to hear the battle song of the decisive game? I believe the audience friends We can no longer hold back our excitement. Let us quickly turn the camera to the commentary box today and look forward to the fourth match between the two teams.”
"Okay, everyone in the audience is welcome back to the commentary box, and I would like to thank the three teachers in the commentary box. Wang Duoduo, who was in the commentary box just now, also said that he hopes the five members of LNG can adjust their mentality." Colonel Guan in the commentary box looked at 957 said to the side: "After the third game, the mentality of everyone in LNG may indeed have been affected. To a certain extent, perhaps no one would have thought that after losing two games in a row, the RA team used a combination like Yasuo Jiaoyue to achieve such a good effect in the third game, and JOJO players were still in this game. It broke the LPL’s historical single-game kill record and made LNG a backdrop.”
No matter who it is, when they know that they have been reduced to a background, they must feel uncomfortable inside.
For example, Ryu, the most famous background player in the League of Legends professional league, will live in the shadow of being killed by Faker in the double calamity battle for the rest of his life.
(Ryu: Madu is consuming me again, right? Why is this life so long?)
"This is indeed a bit confusing," Leg Brother said with a smile: "But I still believe that with the LNG team's ability to adjust, it shouldn't be too affected. The resilience shown by this team in the playoffs is still very strong. , after all, we defeated TES and RNG teams all the way without being favored, and we successfully reached today’s bubble game.”
"Yes, there are only four World Championship spots among the 17 teams in the LPL. Under this cruel elimination mechanism, teams without sufficient mentality adjustment capabilities will not be able to get to where they are today," Rita said.
"Before we start BP, let's first analyze what adjustments the two sides may make. First of all, LNG should no longer give the combination of Yasuo to the opponent." Guan Da Xiao said: "LNG still chose red for this one. Fang, it shows that they still think they have an advantage in the hero pool. The key is how to make good use of the two counter positions on the third and fifth floors.”
The leg brother nodded and said: "I think LNG will directly remove JOJO's Yasuo in the first three hands. Yasuo Bright Moon's combination only needs to remove one. If Yasuo is removed, Leyan will have a high probability." There will never be another bright moon.”
"In this way, LNG's top three triggermen are determined, which should be Leopard Girl, Crocodile and Yasuo." Rita added.
At this time, the live broadcast camera switched to the hero selection screen and entered the selection phase of the fourth game between RA and LNG.
Sure enough, the RA team on the blue side took down Qinggangying and Giggs in the first two hands, while LNG continued to choose to lock down Leopard Girl and Crocodile.
According to the idea that a pair of powerful combinations can be broken down, there is no need to lock both Leopard, Girl and Crocodile. However, Crocodile is the only signature hero that Cube players can use. Once this hero is blocked, LNG will It is easier to open a breakthrough from the top lane.
The key to why LNG was able to win cleanly in the first two games of the game lies in its advantages in the upper and jungle positions, so it will inevitably get more tactical tilt in these two positions.
RA chose to take down Syndra in the third hand, and LNG really took out Yasuo in the third hand.
"If RA takes the initiative to pull Syndra, is he planning to grab some heroes for JOJO in the middle?" Guan Zeyuan thought quickly in his mind.
Because in the 11.15 version used in the playoffs and bubble matches, the designer significantly reduced the mana cost of Syndra's Q skill, making this hero a popular choice for the mid lane position, with a line in the early stage Dominant level of laning suppression.
Therefore, there are still quite a few heroes that are not easy to fight against Syndra. Colonel Guan is not sure what kind of hero RA wants to give Fang Jie.
But the answer to this question soon came.
The RA team directly locked LeBlanc, the trickster enchantress, on the first floor!
"It's coming, it's coming!" Guan Zeyuan opened his eyes wide: "JoJo's LeBlanc, he is really here!"
Trickery is one of Fang Jie's most used heroes in the regular season. He has performed extremely well several times with this hero, which left a deep impression on the commentators and the audience.
At that time, the destiny Fang Jie carried was Chovy's [Ultimate Last Strike]. This destiny could bring the host quite good laning ability.
Again, although Chovy is weak in the competition, using his life to play the mid laner in the LPL summer regular season is really enough.
The hero Enchantress has the advantage in the early stage, but in the mid-term it has the ability to consume and even instantly kill the back row. Therefore, Fang Jie often uses this hero to fight those stinky fish and rotten shrimps, and quacks in the fish pond game. Indiscriminate killing.
However, when it comes to the intensity of the playoffs and bubble games, LeBlanc is not so easy to perform as a hero.
Being able to lock down a hero like LeBlanc on the first floor shows that the RA team, from coaches to players, has given Fang Jie absolute trust, and on the other hand, it also shows Fang Jie's strong confidence in his signature hero.
The LNG team did not reveal the hero they wanted to get at the first time. They were obviously using BP's time to race against time to discuss how to deal with Fang Jie's LeBlanc. There were only a few left in the selection time. Seconds later, LNG locked up the blind monk for Tarzan on the first floor.
Although the top player lost the game, Tarzan's performance was still remarkable. The problem did not lie in the jungler's hero selection.
After also delaying for a while, LNG continued to lock Aphelios on the second floor.
It was RA's turn to select players. RA first locked Xin Zhao on the second floor, and then gave Cube a hand of Jace on the third floor.
"Good boy." This hand of Jace surprised the leg brother: "The RA team probably wanted Cube to be more comfortable during the laning period, but if they take Jace first, Ale's hero pool will be targeted. …”
If RA makes such a choice, it is still possible for the top lane to become a breakthrough again.
In many cases, the hero Jace is selected as a backhand counter. This hero is born with the attribute of walking on a tightrope. Once he cannot suppress the early stage, he will have no sense of presence in the middle and late stages.
Moreover, this hero is extremely vulnerable to being targeted. He is also a scientific research enthusiast in terms of the background setting of the hero. He is the hero who loves to engage in research and development on the top lane.
"Engaging in research and development" is a popular meme this season. Because some players (especially a certain top laner) often achieve results of 1/7 or 1/8 in games, netizens jokingly call them engaging in research and development. , nicknamed the "Intel-type top order".
And Jace, the hero, is a professional in research and development.
If Cube develops an i7 or i8 in this game, RA will basically have no chance to play.
"The remaining two levers can only be left to A Le. We have to protect Cube to death. To be honest, Jace is a bit too much of a gamble." The senior colonel didn't think much of Jace, who had Cube.
"Let's see how LNG gets the third hand first. The third floor must be for Icon to get the mid laner." Brother Leg is looking forward to LNG's choice in the mid lane position.
"If there is a hero that can be used to defeat the Enchantress, Morgana is unlikely to appear in the middle now, and Malzahar probably won't take the Icon either..." Rita thought for a while and said: "Then it is most likely Lissandra. .”
Sure enough, LNG locked the Frost Witch Lissandra on the third floor.
In this way, the first-round selections for both sides have been determined.
Next, it was LNG's turn to ban the hero first. RA still had the duo left to take, so LNG banned the auxiliary Riel in the fourth position.
RA chose to ban the hero Dao Mei.
Dao Mei is one of the heroes that the operational top laner often uses to beat Jess. She has a very strong snowballing ability in the laning period. Once Jayce fails to suppress Dao Mei in the first few levels, he will be counterattacked at any time. The risk of killing.
In the second BO5 game of this spring's finals, FPX's top laner Nuguri once selected Dao Mei to face RNG. Can't play the game directly.
RA doesn't want similar scenes to happen again in this game.
Although the RNG team ultimately won that game, Xiaohu's tactical status was not comparable to that of Cube.
The midfielder of the RNG team almost raises Xiaohu as a father, because Xiaohu is still a very spiritual player. Although he has transitioned from mid lane to top lane, if you can help him, he is really useful.
Cube players are different. Not everyone can join the ranks of LPL top laners and the Four Dark Kings.
If you help me, I won't be C, if you don't help me, I will explode. This is the most basic requirement to compete for such a title. (End of chapter)
