Chapter 68 067: Unexpected!
"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the second round between WE and VG," I remember seeing the BP panel displayed on the big screen, and immediately said loudly, "WE chose the blue side for this round, and gave Braum first. Ban!”
After suffering a set of losses, the WE coaching staff finally came to their senses.
The opponent now particularly likes to choose Braum, and frequently uses his powerful level 1 team ability to allow the team to invade the early jungle area, laying an opening advantage for Gu Xing in the jungle position and mastering enough information.
Looking at the several games played by VG after replacing Gu Xing, it is undoubtedly that the jungler is the absolute tactical core of the team, and everything is played around him.
Although WE's current coaching staff is of inferior quality, it has one advantage.
Don't be stubborn.
It can be seen from the ban on male guns in the last round of BP. They decided to block characters that they felt could not be solved to avoid repeating the mistakes of LGD in last year's World Championship.
Hongmi still chose to press Bader.
He knows that WE's bot lane team is not good at strong attacks during the laning phase. Many times, the brother-in-law is allowed to develop alone in the lane, while the support Zero is freed to take the opportunity to roam other lanes to help the team break the game.
In this case, banning Bard, who can keep roaming to support the opponent, is the best choice.
"WE's second ban slot is given to Qian Jue!" I remember raising my lips, "Virtue's superb performance in the last round is indeed worthy of buying a house for it in the ban slot!"
Su Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Then the question is, WE only has the last blocking position left. One of the male guns and vampires must be released. Is it possible to use grabbing instead of banning?"
In professional leagues that implement the 3ban model, it is easy to encounter situations where there are not enough banned positions.
The blue side where WE is located has the right to choose first and can snatch away the released VG unique hero. In this way, the opponent cannot use it.
"VG doesn't seem to be planning to change the banning strategy. The blocked characters are exactly the same as those on the previous game, and they are still cards..." I remember always focusing on the BP panels of both sides and explaining the situation to the audience, "WE finally chose to press Dropping the male gun and having two bans in the jungle is enough to show the pressure Virtue puts on them! ”
The noise lingered in the venue!
In the previous three games of VG, Gu Xing won consecutive MVPs and gained a small number of fans.
In addition to his excellent performance, he also has a very entertaining style of play.
He easily enters the enemy's jungle area and stirs up troubles. The counter-jungle is extremely fierce, and many viewers just like this.
Gu Xing couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the other party had banned two of his heroes.
"Xiao Gu has a card!" Brother Long looked over and joked, "If you carry for a few more rounds, will the opponent have a three-ban jungler?"
"Then should I have the right to win?" Gu Xing replied cheerfully, "I can't take two ban positions and still get a C, right?"
Imp was ready to make a move, "I'm sorry, I'm going to C this round!"
After Gu Xing came on the court, his MVP numbers remained unchanged.
At the beginning of the summer split, Imp was in pretty good shape, winning three game MVPs. Now that he is being caught up by Gu Xing, who has just started playing professionally, it is inevitable that he will feel a sense of crisis.
I am a world champion, am I going to have to rely on newcomers to take me flying?
In this game, WE used all their ban positions to restrict their jungler, and Imp felt that his opportunity had come.
Ask me when I will return to the top of the MVP rankings in the VG team... today!
"As expected, VG finally blocked Mystic's Sivir, preventing the opponent from getting a shooter with stable wave clearing ability, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble for their advantage to advance!"
Unless you are facing minions blessed by the Baron BUFF, there is no army line that Sivir cannot clear.
And when it comes to three or four pieces, she can use W [Ejection] to attack the front row to reduce a large amount of health in the C position of the opponent's back row. If she is not careful, she may cause huge area damage.
Redmi will naturally not give it to WE who are very good at Sivir's system.
The banning of both sides has come to an end, and it is WE's turn to choose the character first.
Su Xiaoyan thought that the script would proceed as she expected, and she would take down the vampire by taking over the ban.
But WE didn’t choose that!
"Rexai!" I remember his voice was high and powerful, "Then the vampire will be released to VG!"
Su Xiaoyan reacted quickly, "WE has placed its bet on Kandi. After grabbing the excavator, Virtue's hero pool is now very restricted. They must strive to break through from the jungle to gain an advantage!"
< br>
The characters Gu Xing used in the previous three rounds were either banned or snatched by his opponents.
There is no doubt that he will face more severe challenges!
There was a commotion in the event live broadcast room.
[WE are you starting again? 】
[I really don’t talk about martial arts. Ban + grab will take down three junglers from the opposite side. Is this so targeted at newcomers? 】
[What's the matter, do you still have a protection period as a newcomer? Who among you has not been abused】
[Chief, the main reason is that I don’t want Virtue to win the MVP again, otherwise it would be too shameful]
Hongmi is not too worried.
He knew that the three roles could not restrict Gu Xing at all!
After hearing the head coach's selection decision, Jin Wenhyuk translated the meaning to the players.
I remember seeing the first two choices of VG, I was not surprised by this, "Trolls and Vampires... Thanks to WE's focus on junglers, VG was able to select very strong versions of single-line heroes!"
WE directly took Ice and Thresh with their backhand, which obviously suffered from the weak laning of the duo in the previous game. In this game, we planned to use a combination with high enough laning strength.
"This ice hand is very particular," I remember saying my understanding with a bit of praise mixed in his voice, "If Ashe clicks E [Eagle Strikes the Sky] at the second level, she can accurately lock Virtue's position in the early stage!"
Su Xiaoyan echoed, "Indeed, through the previous three games, we can probably guess the general idea of Virtue players in the early stage..."
"He will not give up any small advantage in the early stage, either to counter-invade the jungle, or to open up the situation for the team directly through online raids," Su Xiaoyan said eloquently, "In this case, Eagle Strike in the Sky is very effective for him. The restrictions will be very serious! ”
This is the countermeasure WE developed during the break.
Block the heroes that Gu Xing is good at, and then choose a character that has a certain restrictive effect on the enemy jungler in the early stage.
Two flowers bloomed, leaving him with nothing to do.
Gu Xing sat on his gaming chair, took a sip of iced Coke in the paper cup, and heard Jin Wenhe translating the coach's words.
"The last counter position is for you. After the opponent's lineup is completely determined, choose a suitable jungle hero."
Counter means restraint. In the league, it generally refers to selecting heroes later. It can make targeted selections after all enemy heroes are locked.
Naturally, Hongmi will not let the opponent restrict Gu Xing at will. A backhand counter position can solve many problems and make its players more comfortable in the game.
"VG showed off their bottom lane combination...Calista and Bullhead!"
The Dualista itself is very strong, and Imp is also very skilled in the use of skateboard shoes.
Since WE chose a strong combination like Ice + Thresh, Hongmi believes that it has to be more aggressive in the lane to completely overwhelm the opponent.
Imp once again used its favorite hero Kalista, showing an excited smile and gearing up to educate the two Korean compatriots on the opposite side.
After careful consideration, WE finally chose Enchantress and Ike.
"957 is going to have to resist pressure again in this game..." Su Xiaoyan sighed imperceptibly. Seeing the lane roles of the top laners on both sides, she knew what the outcome would be.
The last game of 957 was very uncomfortable, and a lot of blood was consumed in the early stage.
After that, the junglers of both sides came to help, but it did not relieve the pressure on his line.
Until the end, 957 did not get any benefits from Brother Long.
There is no way, the troll's dueling ability is ridiculously strong.
"In the middle of both sides, the enchantress fights the vampire. The problem is that the mid laners of both sides cannot clear their troops in the early stage..."
But LeBlanc has a slight advantage in this regard.
As the level of W [Shadow's Trace] increases, the Enchantress with the blue buff around level 7 will be able to clear the line stably.
The vampire's troop clearing efficiency is lower, and the early damage of E [Tide of Blood] is very low and the cooldown is long.
The characteristic of his laning is that he can constantly exchange blood with his opponent. Anyway, as long as there is an enemy line near the vampire, his blood volume will come back sooner or later.
Hongmi glanced at the opponent's lineup and told Gu Xing her decision, "Take Elise. Just try to capture two more laners in the early stage so that the mid lane vampire can develop."
Xiao Duan saw that his jungler had no objection, so he locked the hero on the fifth floor.
"Spider Queen Elise!" I remember being full of expectations, "Virtue will regain its rhythm jungle this game!"
Su Xiaoyan put forward her own idea, "But it would be better for Spider to pair up with a mid laner who can push the lane and accompany her to roam for support... VG's mid laner in this game is a vampire, and it obviously does not meet this condition."
“And it’s a bit difficult for Virtue to cooperate online.”
Except for the dual Lista in the bottom lane who has strong control ability, VG does not have stable hard control in the middle and top.
In Su Xiaoyan's view, the spider selected by VG did not match the lineup.
"You don't have to catch someone when you are selected," remember to explain to your partner. "It is also a good idea to use the spider's super high combat power in the early stage to let Virtue protect his teammates, and then hand over the stage to the vampire in the mid-term."
Players from both sides exchange heroes, and the complete lineup is presented to the audience!
Blue team WE: top laner Ekko, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane Ice + Thresh.
Red square VG: top lane troll, jungle spider, mid lane vampire, bottom lane Kalista + Bullhead.
"WE's lineup is quite smooth, with many support points in the early and mid-term, and it's flexible enough, but the disadvantage is that it can only play advantageous games. If Rek'Sai, Enchantress, and Ice are at a disadvantage, it's basically useless... "Su Xiaoyan commented.
Remember to hold on to your headset, "Let's wait and see if Virtue can still perform well when being targeted!"
This was a threshold for Gu Xing.
If you can make it through, remember that this newcomer will not be a flash in the pan.
“WE come on!”
There are loyal fans in the audience cheering loudly for the home team.
As an ancient giant in League of Legends, WE currently has a terrifying number of fans.
Although WE1.0 members such as Xiaomi and Strawberry have retired or left the team, WE has failed to enter the World Championship for three consecutive years. Many fans have invested in teams such as RNG and EDG.
But the previous basis is here. The skinny camel is bigger than the horse and has many fans, and many of them are no longer personal fans of the players, but have gradually evolved into team fans.
They simply support the WE brand.
When the home team lost in the first game, the WE supporters' shouts were so loud that even the sound-isolating headphones couldn't completely block it out!
In contrast, VG’s cheering sound is not outstanding.
The team itself does not have many fans. Although the imp was exchanged in this summer split, it attracted a wave of optimistic family fans of LGD. Gu Xing's highly entertaining play style and strong strength also made the fan base grow stronger.
But after all, it is short for fashion, and it is not at the same level as WE.
Hearing the difference in cheers from the audience and seeing the loading screen not yet finished, Xiao Duan happily asked, "Why don't we have any fans?"
Brother Long analyzed with his fingers, "I am a solid top laner who plays blue collar, and not many people like me; Mr. Hou plays more steadily than me, and the situation is about the same; as for you... what kind of fans can an assistant have? You are not Meiko or Meiko. Hirano Aya ”
Players with aggressive styles do attract more traffic and keep moving forward. Regardless of whether they can get profits or not, winning or losing is the effect of the program anyway.
"It's normal to have no fans now... one day everyone in the league will look up to us." Gu Xing is very optimistic.
The loading screen ended, and Summoner's Rift appeared in front of them in an instant!
The five of them became serious, adjusted their condition, and were ready for the competition!
A small section of the signal hit the location along the river, and he kept saying, "Just spread out and stand in a long snake formation. Let's guard and don't let the other side come in!"
The first-level team capabilities of both lineups are not very strong.
But the difference is that WE has Thresh, and you might be able to win prizes.
In order to guard against possible sneak attacks by the opponent, Xiao Duan deliberately inserted a jewelry eye into the grass in the lower river, but he never saw the WE player.
"Both sides have no plans to invade. It looks like they are going to start the game normally!"
There was peace in the canyon.
The duo stood in the jungle camp closest to the bottom lane, hoping to eat the jungle before going online so that the ADC could quickly reach level 2.
The two junglers, with the help of the top laner, started from the wild monsters at the top of the map.
Gu Xing was very skilled, allowing himself and Little Spider to take turns taking damage from wild monsters in order to maximize the efficiency of clearing the jungle.
After eating the red BUFF, while using F4, he heard a short reminder.
"The E I learned at the second level of Ice, throw it out to see where you are!"
Gu Xing responded to indicate that he understood. Although the probability of avoiding the eagle's sky was not high, he still controlled the Spider Queen to pull the sharp-beaked bird into the grass nearby.
Mystic's Eagle Strike route is really tricky.
The eagle spirit illuminated Gu Xing and continued upward at the same time. Just at the edge of the expanded field of vision, he saw the empty red buff and the stone beetle camp.
"This person is driving from top to bottom. It seems that he wants to kill all the wild monsters..."
Kandi reports information and makes his or her own judgment.
In most pub games, the Spider Queen is a typical quick-three catching hero.
Because Elise's combat power at that time was extremely strong, and online players in ranked matches did not value vision so much, Spider had a very high probability of getting kills or assists.
But the professional arena is different.
There are more eye positions, and players are generally more cautious during matches than in qualifying, making it difficult for Spider to seize opportunities.
If Super 3 goes directly to launch a surprise attack online, it is very likely that he will be seen by the enemy on the way, and the opposing jungler will take the opportunity to counterattack his remaining wild monsters.
Therefore, it is not unusual for a character like the Spider Queen to level up to four by farming six groups of wild monsters in professional competitions.
After all, you must ensure your own development to the maximum extent, otherwise the gank will not be successful, and the rhythm will be lost.
Kandi felt that Gu Xing's jungle clearing route was very reasonable.
If you have ice at home, you can learn to fly like an eagle in the sky to detect his movements. The success rate of the opponent's quick three to catch people is not high.
He thought for a while and informed his teammates, "I don't want the river crabs in the lower half..."
The bottom duo of both sides both ate wild monsters at the beginning, so the three melee soldiers in the first wave of minions can be upgraded to level 2.
But because Han Bing learned Eagle Strike, a skill that doesn't have any combat power bonus, Ashe's combat ability is definitely not as good as imp Kalista's.
It is conceivable that the VG duo will have the advantage in the next period of time and will have more energy to support Xiahe Road.
Judging from the current situation, Gu Xing brushes from top to bottom, and it looks like he will eat river crabs.
By then, under the cover of the VG duo, River Crab will definitely be in his bag.
The Swift Crab currently only has 10 experience points, which is not worth mentioning in the jungle.
But the gold coins provided are also a considerable amount of income in the early stage.
Kandi didn't want to suffer a loss in vain.
He decided to find another way.
When you use Rek'Sai to get the red BUFF, it will take a while for the stone beetle in your bottom lane to be reset.
He simply stopped brushing and turned around and headed straight for the upper river!
I remember seeing the director giving a close-up of Condi’s movements, and I immediately reacted.
"Kandi is going to get the river crab above, and then counter Virtue's stone beetle!" He sighed, "This is a very wise choice!"
By the time Kandi ran over and finished brushing the River Crabs, the group of stone beetle camps at the top of the VG had also been refreshed, just in time to get rid of them.
Then go back to your wild area and brush the Demon Swamp Frog and Three Wolves in the second round. The time is just right!
As for the bottom lane, he didn't want to care about it at all.
The current situation of the army line is pushing towards WE's lower tower, and it seems that we can really catch it.
But Kandi thinks Gu Xing thinks so too.
It would be interesting if you were squatted by a spider.
The control chain of the three people in the lower field of VG is very stable, and the burst damage is very high. They can completely kill people in the early stage.
Kandi didn't want to go head-to-head with his opponent.
Counter jungle is a more cost-effective option for him.
If Brother Long's trolls dare to continue to press the line, he might be able to cooperate with 957 to catch them once.
But somewhere he couldn't see.
After Gu Xing finished beating the blue BUFF in the lower half of his house, he turned around and ran up, ignoring the upcoming Demon Swamp Frog!
"What is going on?" Su Xiaoyan was puzzled, "Is Virtue aware of the other party's movements?"
The audience did not expect such a plot.
The junglers on both sides brushed from top to bottom, but they gave up a group of wild monsters and turned their heads upward!
Gu Xing and Kandi's clearing speeds were almost the same. They were almost rushing upward simultaneously, as if they were running back and forth in a competition.
The difference is that Condi moved along the river, and during this period he encountered a group of river crabs, which delayed him a little.
Gu Xing, on the other hand, followed the route he took when clearing the jungle and returned the same way.
When Rek'Sai finished brushing the river crabs, he had already reached the top triangle grass!
"The army line on the top road..." I remember taking a glance, "I'm pushing back in the direction of VG!"
Brother Long's troll still had an advantage in the early stage, suppressing Ike and beating him hard.
This time, after the third wave of artillery soldiers arrived on the road, he successfully gathered a large wave of small soldiers and pushed them into the opponent's defense tower.
957, who had no way to clear the tower's bottom line before the next wave of soldiers arrived, could only let the soldiers take over and push back toward Brother Long.
"You can come and catch him directly. The trolls will definitely come up to replenish their troops!" 957 communicated with his teammates and wanted Kandi to come quickly.
Although it was a wave of pushback, since both sides' artillery troops had been eaten, this wave of troops was purely composed of melee and long-range troops.
Without the help of thick-skinned and powerful artillery vehicles, there will inevitably be more casualties during the pushback process.
Based on this, 957 concluded that the trolls who had the advantage in the line would not suffer this boring loss.
Brother Long will try to hit the target when the minion is reduced to residual health!
And as long as he dares to step forward, it will be an excellent opportunity for Kandi to surprise and arrest someone!
"Don't worry, he didn't do anything in the river!"
Another piece of vision information provided by 957 made Condi make up his mind.
He lurked in the shallow layers of the earth, crossed the river all the way to Brother Long's sight, and completed a wave of flanking attacks with 957!
"Ah?!" Brother Long was confused the moment he saw Reksai.
Gu Xing, who had been motionless in the triangular grass before, was also dumbfounded.
This script is wrong!
Why did another Rek'Sai emerge?
"Come help me!"
Without Brother Long shouting, Gu Xing left the grass by himself and prepared to go to help.
"957 placed W [Time Stagger] behind Brother Long, forcing the opponent back..."
When the time was almost up, the outline of the time field was already revealed. Kandi was sure that the troll was within the range of time interlacing, and immediately prepared to freeze his hands!
As long as Brother Long can be pushed up and the stun effect of Ike's time field keeps up with the control, WE Ueno and the two men will definitely be able to kill this troll in an instant!
But the moment Kandi flashed forward, he was still underground and suddenly used the Earth Hearing Technique to discover that there was another creature moving quickly behind the troll!
Kandi realized something was wrong.
He quickly wanted to retreat, but his brain reacted and his finger had already pressed W [Breaking Out of the Ground]!
"Rek'Sai flashed W and pushed up the troll," I remember feeling quite regretful, "It's over, Virtue is squatting behind him!"
Kandi shouted to remind his teammates, "Get out, get out, the spider is here!"
The moment 957 saw Rek'Sai flashing up to hold up the troll, he also handed over E [Phase Dive] and sprinted forward, rushing into his own time stagger, trying to stun the troll.
Then he saw the Spider Queen behind the troll!
"Virtue flashed forward, and the human form E [Cocoon] successfully hit Rek'Sai!"
Elise threw the self-destructing spider backwards, and after using Q [Neurotoxin], she switched to spider form and bit it fiercely. She also brought the venom-filled little spider from behind and detonated it on Rek'Sai!
"The spider's burst damage is too high, and the excavator can't bear it!"
Kandi knew that he had not flashed. In this position, he would be chased to death sooner or later. He could only ask his teammates to give up on him, "Sell me and run!"
957 knows that he can't protect anyone.
Hit three rings on the troll, trigger acceleration, and quickly retreat back.
"Brother Long's E [Ice Pillar] blocked Rek'Sai's position, and Virtue successfully received a blood!"
The beginning was dramatic and the trend was unexpected by all the viewers!
Sorry...
On the first day of work after the New Year, I had too many things to do. I worked overtime for a long time and didn’t go home until 8 o’clock.
Let’s update one chapter today and 14,000 tomorrow.
(End of chapter)
