Chapter 42 Ascending to the God Level
After RA successfully played a wave of zero-for-three on the top lane, they took advantage of the situation and won the newly refreshed Rift Herald.
Originally, the situation was already one-sided, but bad news came from WE's bottom lane.
The WE bottom duo was actually defeated by RA in a double kill!
RA's double kill in the bottom lane had actually been foreshadowed a few minutes ago.
Because Thresh chose to gank in the middle after the first wave of return, not only did he not succeed in gank in the end, but he wasted a lot of time, which resulted in his experience being seriously lagging behind.
Although Aphelios was able to reach level six first, when the RA duo both reached level six, Missing's Thresh didn't even reach level five.
The moment the green icon of RA's assistant Braum's ultimate move lit up, Iboy, who had already planned it, suddenly launched an attack!
Ashe's magic crystal arrow shot directly at Thresh, who was only at level four!
Unprepared, Thresh was unable to dodge the unexpected ice arrow and was immediately frozen in place.
At the same time, Hang's Braum flashed forward, raised the shield in his hand and hit the ground hard!
In fact, even if Hang doesn't flash, he can still hit Thresh so big that it can't move.
But Hang clearly wanted more.
The glacial fissure spread along the surface and lifted Aphelios high at the end!
Braum first raised his hand and made a basic attack to give Thresh a passive, and then threw a Q skill Winter's Bite directly forward towards Aphelios.
Poor Thresh was melted first, and after Aphelios was slowed down by Winter's Bite, although he wanted to flash to escape, Iboy immediately followed up with the flash and used a few basic attacks to stun him, and then killed him alive. Sticky.
"It's over, WE is all over now." The doll said with a look of regret.
Since then, WE's upper, middle and lower lines have all been opened up by RA.
All three roads collapsed!
The reason why WE collapsed in three lanes so quickly has to start with the laning in the middle.
If Shanks hadn't been beaten to the point where he couldn't take care of himself as soon as he came online, jungler Olaf wouldn't have chosen to force the capture at the second level, and he wouldn't have been counter-crouched by RA, giving away two kills in vain.
If the middle lane was not at a huge disadvantage because of this, Thresh would not have chosen to ambush in the middle lane, and thus lose a lot of experience, thus laying the foundation for being double-killed by the opponent in the future.
In Summoner's Rift, this kind of butterfly effect is actually everywhere, and Shanks, as the culprit, bears the primary responsibility for the failure of this game.
Correspondingly, Fang Jie, who penetrated his matchup, used his outstanding personal ability to win the team in the early stages of the game.
After the three lines were in full bloom, WE was no longer able to defend RA's offense. RA finally overwhelmed WE's main base in the early 20 minutes of the game.
In this game, JOJO's thigh was due to his advanced development, and he staged two waves of enemy AD shots in seconds, which directly cast a psychological shadow on Aphelios.
In the first game of this BO5 game, WE achieved an extremely shameful record of "zero dragon tower" and zero kills, and refreshed its losing streak again.
WE's losing streak has reached ten games.
"WE is really in trouble now. If we can't solve this problem in the middle, I'm afraid we will be defeated in three straight games, and we will end up with a twelve-game losing streak." Teacher Miller said in a helpless tone.
The performance of RA mid laner JOJO is really a bit confusing.
"I think WE's tactical reserves have been really drained. They came in as a dark horse. It's really hard to imagine that from the playoffs to the bubble game, WE has played eight consecutive BO5 games. Teacher Watou's tone was quite sympathetic and regretful: "To be honest, after so many BO5 games, WE has been figured out by other teams. This is why they slumped directly after winning four consecutive victories. The reason why victory is so hard to come by.”
Miller nodded. He agreed with Wawa's explanation, but in fact, he believed that the most difficult point facing WE in this BO5 was not the lack of tactical reserves.
But there is an obvious gap in the mid lane.
The position of mid laner is really important to the game League of Legends.
In addition to shouldering the main output responsibility in the middle and late stages of the game, the mid-range unit can play a role in radiating the overall situation in the early stage of the game.
In fact, from the regular season MVP selection over the years, we can see how important the mid laner is to this game.
Since the regular season MVP award appeared for the first time in the LPL Professional League in 2017, so far this season, a total of ten regular season MVP awards have been conducted.
Eight of these times, a mid laner won the award.
These eight regular season MVPs were divided among the four top mid laners in the league.
S9 World Championship mid laner Doinb has won this honor three times, becoming the only three-time regular season MVP winner in the LPL.
S8 World Championship mid laner Rookie and 2020 MSC champion mid laner Knight each won two regular season MVP awards.
Xiaohu, the two-time MSI champion, became the regular season MVP of the 2017 Summer Split in the peak season when he played the title of "Tiger 90,000".
(It is worth mentioning that according to the original timeline, Rookie won the regular season MVP award again in the 2022 Spring Split, becoming the only three-time regular season MVP winner in the LPL division, tied with Doinb. )
The regular season MVP is the greatest recognition of the performance of professional players in the regular season of the season, and the mid laner won this award 8 times out of 10 selections, which is enough to prove how high the strategic position of this position is in the League of Legends game. .
Therefore, when there is a huge gap in the mid lane position, it is difficult for the weaker side to win the game through a small or medium lead in other positions.
"How should WE deal with the mid laner next..." It's not easy for WE to get to where it is today. Faced with the current difficult situation, Teacher Miller also wants to think of a solution for it.
"Hero pulling?" After saying this, Wawa shook his head and said: "LNG has already tried it in the decisive game before. It is impossible to limit JOJO's hero pool with just a few pulling positions."
"How about letting them all go?" Changmao suggested.
"Anyway, we can't finish the game, so let's leave it all to JOJO. I think WE should try our best to open up the situation in other lanes and see if your lead in the middle lane is bigger than the breakthrough I opened in other lanes."
The doll smiled and said: "It's just about who can kill faster, right?"
Miller thought for a moment and then concluded: "I think there are only two ways to break the situation."
"Either like Changmao said, use the advantages created in other lanes to make up for the gap in the mid lane position."
"Either you go all out, target JOJO to death, and force him to make no sound."
"But," at this point, Miller sighed again: "It's easier said than done. It still depends on how WE responds."
Miller looked up at the big screen, and the camera just switched to the MVP player of this game.
The MVP of this round was naturally given to the JOJO player without any controversy.
In fact, the reason why the commentators tried their best to find a way out for WE was mainly out of sympathy for its difficult journey.
Everyone hopes that stronger players will appear on the stage of the World Championships.
Miller looked at Fang Jie's makeup photo, which showed a delicate face with a hint of determination.
Miller seemed to see in a trance that in the background of the picture, there was a long stone staircase, submerged in layers of fog and leading straight to the nine heavens.
Maybe that's the JOJO player's.
Climb to the level of God. (End of chapter)
