Chapter 79 078: Battle in the jungle!
"VG occupies the blue side in this game, and they banned Sivir first!"
Hongmi immediately targeted the bottom lane of the Snakes team.
It turns out that the opponent's starting shooter was Crystal, who was very strong last year. In addition to eating the opponent's Murloc R [Giant Shark Attack] and then jumping into his own pile to feed fish to the other three teammates, his performance was remarkable. .
However, the unhealthy training methods overstretched Crystal's body. In addition, he was born in 1994 and started his career too late. The double obstacles of injuries and age caused his condition to decline rapidly.
At the beginning of this year's summer split, Sofm had not yet played, and the Snakes suffered two consecutive defeats in the weak group A.
Snake's management decisively recruited Martin from their second team to replace Crystal.
Martin's performance is quite satisfactory. Looking at the entire LPL, he is definitely better than IG's Rain King, but it can hardly be called a mid-range level.
In Hongmi's view, the bottom lane of the Snakes team is a breakthrough and is very suitable for targeting.
"Snake banned the Marquis's signature vampire. This character's growth attributes are too powerful. By the mid-to-late stage, he will be a meaty and output mage..." Miller was still trying to analyze and explain.
The person next to you remember to answer, "In addition, the current version of the professional arena is full of tanks and there are few output positions. If the vampire is operated properly, it can last for a long time!"
The vampire is not afraid of the front-row characters at all. The tank is just his mobile blood bank. He only needs to be careful of the opponent's only output point, and team battles can create a huge threat.
"VG gave Jhin the second ban slot. This is because they are determined to restrain Martin," Miller couldn't help but laugh. "Jhin's strength is really good at the moment, and many teams are trying to use it."
In fact, Jhin was a character added in the middle of this year's spring split, but his selection rate and winning rate in the professional arena at that time were not high. The same was true in the mid-season, and he was not taken seriously by professional teams.
There is nothing wrong with Jhin's own numerical value, it can even be described as exceeding the standard.
The cold reception is because everyone does not understand the hero thoroughly enough.
During the spring split, professional teams used Jhin as a regular ADC, using blue knives, artillery, and endless items.
Kejin's mechanism is here, and he is destined to be very weak when facing the huge front row.
Each of the three fantasy gods in the top lane is rougher and thicker than the last, and there are also hard supports with exaggerated tankiness such as Braum and Tauren. The critical strike type Jhin is slower to form. If it is delayed until the mid-to-late team battle, it will give the opponent's front row tanks Gua Sha, the effect is far inferior to other versions of popular shooters.
As the summer split progresses, professional teams have finally found a build plan that truly suits Jhin at the moment.
Armor-piercing flow.
Youmeng, Curtain Blade, Armor-piercing Bow and Endless.
The advantage of this outfit is that it is very smooth.
At the same time, the fixed armor penetration provided by Youmeng in the early stage makes Jhin's combat ability even more powerful. The current version's active effect also has an attack speed bonus, which Jhin can also convert into attack power by relying on his passive [Whisper].
Before the enemy has a three-piece set in the front row, Jhin with the same level of development can rely on armor-piercing attributes to cause considerable output. In the later stages, he will also have armor-piercing bows and endless support damage.
And for Crispy, the output of Armor-Piercing Jhin can only be described as terrifying!
Therefore, as soon as this equipment solution appeared, it was favored by all teams and set off a trend in the recent professional arena.
"The Snakes backhand sent the Troll to the ban position," I remember immediately reacting when I saw this, "It looks like they are going to release all the jungle heroes!"
Gu Xing currently has two or three heroes with high proficiency displayed.
If the Snake team on the red side wants to restrict him, it must give at least two ban positions.
Now that Snake is the last remaining team, blocking the jungler character has no effect at all. Gu Xing can directly grab the strong and good character on the blue side.
"VG's last ban was given to the Snake Team's assistant Jiezou's Tauren Chief, and all three banned positions were given to the bottom lane. The Snake Team banned Braum to prevent the opponent from choosing an overly strong first-level team lineup to interfere with the jungle..."
Miller's eyes lit up, "Both teams don't care about the jungle, let Virtue and Sofm play to their fullest, showing their strongest strength!"
The audience likes to watch this kind of plot.
In their opinion, whoever bans the jungler is a coward!
Shen Guanshan, who was sitting in the front row, heard the loud cheers that suddenly swelled behind him. His heart hung in mid-air involuntarily, and he could not hide his nervousness.
Gu Pan didn't notice her friend's reaction. She kept her eyes fixed on Gu Xing in the player's seat. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her brother was still talking and laughing with his teammates, seemingly not paying attention to the pressure from the outside world. .
"The blue side's first choice, VG decided to get the Ice Girl for Marquis first, trying to threaten the opponent's jungle area!"
The middle lane is now dominated by traditional mages such as Huang Ji and Victor. Their development cycle is relatively long and they lack the ability to drive the rhythm. In the early stage, they basically rely on online farming.
So professional teams came up with countermeasures.
Use heroes like Ice Girl and Enchantress to counterattack, and take advantage of the opportunity for the opponent's mage to develop in the middle to leave the lane and roam for support.
If the enemy team members drag the Earthbound Spirit to develop the mid-lane mage, they can win the team battle.
If the other lanes have collapsed before the mage equipment takes shape, then you can send it directly.
Behind the Snakes' bench, head coach Zhu Kai was still discussing hero selection with his players, "Xuanjun, do you think Ekko can go first? Troll has been banned and there is no other character on the other side who can beat Ekko..."
"Okay," Li Xuanjun pinched his knuckles. Now the team mainly relies on him and the jungler to carry the game. If the three fantasy gods are selected, the Snake team will be very uncomfortable. "I will try to lead them all the way."
< br>
In the pre-match exchange just now, he learned that Gu Xing and Dong Xiaosa had a good relationship.
And he and his assistant Jiezou came from Huangde Yaoshi, and Dong Xiaosa served as a bridge for each other. In addition, Gu Xing himself has strong communication skills, and the three of them have become quite familiar with each other.
Brother Shengqiang wants to teach Gu Xing a lesson today!
Zhu Kai then chooses Ezreal for Martin. VG has already invested a lot of ban positions in shooters. If he doesn't choose a hero for Martin first, he will be severely restricted later.
"VG chose the duo of Spear of Vengeance and Thresh..." I remember that this was no surprise. "As we discussed before, all three ban positions were invested in the bottom lane. Imp and Xiao Duan wanted to use their laning ability to tear apart Make a hole!”
"However, the Snakes seem to have guessed that VG may choose a strong laning combination. They just locked EZ for Martin, and they should let him bear the pressure!"
Zhu Kai indeed thought so.
He chose to give Jiezou a hand of Bard, making it clear that he wanted to let Martin go and let the support roam.
Then help Sofm lock Rek'Sai to add frankness and control to the team.
"Xiao Gu, which one do you think is better?" Hongmi is not the kind of coach who likes to give his players autonomy in BP. Players' on-the-spot decisions sometimes destroy the integrity of their expected lineup.
But he has seen Gu Xing's efforts in the past few days. Hongmi is not connected to the Internet in every village. With the translator Jin Wenhe here, he knows what the Internet public opinion is saying recently.
This regular season game is very important to Gu Xing.
Redmi plans to give this top newcomer some privileges.
"Nan Qiang or Qian Jue, you choose one from them."
Two shooters in the jungle, paired with VG's lineup, are pretty good.
Gu Xing thought for a moment after hearing what the head coach said, "Qianjue, you have the advantage in range and flexibility."
Hongmi readily agreed and asked Imp to help him choose.
“The jungle matchup between the two sides in the first game was Kindred vs. Rek’Sai,” I remember looking forward to it. “Virtue will show off its superb mark control skills again, but it will test how Sofm handles the balance between farming and raiding. ! ”
"VG finally gave Brother Long Shen to deal with Brother Holy Spear's Ike," Miller looked to the other side, "Now it's time to see the winning unit of the Snake Team's final selection!"
Zhu Kai saw the entire VG lineup.
He realized he had fallen into a pit.
Now the team is a little short of damage, but if it supplements the core of mages like Victor or Huangji, the middle lane will have to be stuck in lane, allowing Easyhoon's ice girl to wander around and put pressure!
Sofm will be very uncomfortable at that time!
Hongmi's BP arrangement put him in a dilemma.
You can only choose one of the two between late-stage teamfights and early-stage rhythm.
Zhu Kai finally decided to choose the latter.
The team itself is good at playing the early rhythm, but starts to get lost in the middle and late stages. In this case, it is better to maximize the rhythm and strive for a quick victory!
"Snake's last choice is Malzahar!"
Grasshoppers, like vampires, also received a rework in this year's mid-season version.
Now he has passively turned into a skill similar to [Banshee's Veil]. After not being harmed by the enemy for a period of time, he can obtain substantial damage reduction and immunity to control effects.
Similar to Ice Girl's positioning, Grasshopper also focuses on functionality, has the suppression effect of R [Hades' Grip], and has strong jungle capabilities.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue side VG: top laner Shen, jungler Kindred, mid laner Ice Girl, bottom lane Kalista + Thresh.
Red side Snake: top laner Ekko, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Malzahar, bottom lane EZ+Bad.
"Looking at the lineup alone, I feel that VG is better," Miller shared his thoughts with his partner. "Shen provides front row tankiness and protection with her ultimate move. Ice Girl has the ability to control the entry, and there are thousands more in the later stage. The double shooter of Jue and Kalista.”
"Snake's late-stage damage is too weak, and Rek'Sai can't deal with the opponent's output position by dragging him behind."
Remember to agree with him and add, "However, the Snakes have strong combat capabilities in the early and mid-term. As long as EZ has the two-piece set of Ice Fist + Demon Cut, the lineup will reach its peak combat effectiveness around 21 minutes!"
"In short, as long as VG can hold off the situation and transition smoothly to thirty minutes, their chances of winning will become higher and higher. The Snakes team must try every means to seize the time to establish an advantage and end the snowball. Competition!”
Gu Pan, who had just started playing games, couldn't quite understand the previous paragraph.
But in the end, remember that the conclusion you made is still easy to understand.
Noticing that the old man on the stage suddenly smiled brightly at him, Gu Pan was still a little uncomfortable, tapping the cheering stick with both hands, trying to use it to cover the expression on his face.
Shen Guanshan, who was sitting next to him, did not dodge or avoid, and responded with a bright smile.
The cheers from the audience were loud and clear.
The number of fans of VG is increasing, and many spectators who do not have a home team are attracted by their highly entertaining style of play.
This resulted in the cheering for VG in the stadium being even louder than that of the Snakes!
The director cuts the camera to Sofm.
Dark and thin, he adjusted his glasses and looked extremely serious.
Sofm had seen the interview where Gu Xing mentioned himself, and he was amazed by the other party's learning ability. He was able to steal from the rankings!
He knows how difficult it is to counter-jungle ideas. Many junglers from professional teams have studied it for a long time, but they can only scratch the surface and not grasp the essence.
What's more, once a jungler's style is established, it is very difficult to change it. Forcibly imitating it is tantamount to imitating others.
But Gu Xing was able to perfectly integrate counter-jungle play!
Sofm is very afraid of Gu Xing, and he must show his best to challenge.
Before the game, his teammates reassured him that the counter-fielding skills imitated by the opponent must be inferior to his own, but Sofm believed that this was not necessarily the case.
Vietnam also has a similar principle of being better than others.
And from the current point of view, Virtue not only only uses counter-jungle play, but also has a very high level of rhythm jungle.
This forced him to concentrate and take this battle seriously.
"The game officially begins!"
In Miller's loud explanation, ten heroes in the canyon bought outdoor outfits and left the spring, with continuous signals on the way!
"Let's go into the opposite jungle as a group. Don't change the jungle, just watch the movement!" Xiao Duan directed his teammates.
In terms of first-level team strength, VG is much ahead.
After all, the Shadow Isles combination of Kalista + Thresh is here, and there are two shooters on duty. On the other hand, the Snake team has the burden of Rek'Sai, and they will definitely be at a disadvantage.
However, under the instruction of Redmi, the team had no intention of forcing Sofm to start in the jungle.
They have other plans.
They entered the lower half of the Snake team as a group, and inserted a jewelry eye in the camp between the opponent's blue buff and the Demon Swamp Frog. It seemed that they wanted to determine Sofm's opening route.
Immediately afterwards, the VG players retreated collectively and scattered after returning to the river.
Martin stared at the map nervously, not letting go of any suspicious information, "Why did the other side run away again?"
Jiezou took a look in the river in advance and saw all five of the opponent's heroes leaving, feeling a little confused in his heart.
During preparations before the game, they watched the videos of VG's games and knew that the opponent liked to use the strong period of the lineup to invade. This was one of the reasons why the team chose to ban Braum.
But what's going on with this plate?
Sofm also frowned.
He had originally planned to go to the top half of VG to change to the blue BUFF to start the game.
In the end, VG invaded the jungle just to be an eye?
Not long after Sofm officially came on the scene, he was still young and couldn't figure out what the opponent wanted to do.
"No matter, let's eat wild normally, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the level drop." Martin couldn't figure it out, but since everyone in VG had retreated, he marked the signal at his Demon Swamp Frog camp and prepared to ask his support to help him resist. .
At this moment, Miller and Remember in the commentary box couldn't help but lower their voices.
"The VG duo is guarding the grass connecting the bottom lane and the river... The wild monsters have already been born. If they don't go back to farm, what do they want to do here?"
The next moment, Imp and Xiao Duan's operation caused the whole audience to scream in disbelief!
Kalista and Thresh in the canyon both flashed over the wall and broke into the Snake team's lower jungle area!
"Is this crazy? A first-level double flash?!" Even though Miller had seen a lot, he was also horrified at this moment.
All actions are carried out in the blind spot of the opponent's field of vision, and everyone in the Snake Team knows nothing about it!
I remember that my voice became shrill because my voice was too low, "VG retreated into the grass behind Snake's next tower in the bottom lane, and watched Martin and Jiezou not far away farming the Demon Marsh Frogs!"
"Martin moves A and at the same time pulls the Demon Swamp Frog towards the bottom lane. This can also shorten his time to go online... It's over!"
Seeing EZ and Bud about to walk into the grass, the fans of the Snake Team in the audience let out unbearable screams.
"Thresh's basic attack point is on Bard, and I also set up Ignite!"
Jiezou never expected that VG would be crouching in such an incredible position!
He was shocked, but Q [Astral Binding] had just been used when helping to fight in the jungle. It was still cooling down, so he could only flash and run under the tower.
"Imp applied healing spells to accelerate, and also pulled out E [Tear], applying a slowing effect to Bard..."
Just now, Gu Shengbin could use Q [Penetration] to go directly through the thin wall, but if he did that, the damage would not be as high as E, and he would not be able to keep people away.
He stepped forward just to kill people!
Xiao Duan succeeded in getting close, and E [Pendulum of Doom] brushed Jiezou back!
"Martin gave his teammates a sip of healing spells, but it didn't seem to have any effect. He expressed his feelings and proved that he had tried his best. He received the Q in the basic attack to collect the Demon Swamp Frog, and then ran towards the second tower!"
There was only one crispy Bard left, and Imp finally caught up with him and killed him with a spear!
"First blood is born very quickly!"
Along with the cheers in the stadium, Miller said loudly, "Although Martin killed the Demon Swamp Frog, during the period when Bader was not online, he did not dare to fight in front of VG's bottom lane!"
"It's so decisive," I remember sighing repeatedly. "VG knew from the ward position they arranged when they invaded the jungle before that Sofm did not open the jungle from the lower half, so they chose to come and ambush."
"But in order to fight wild monsters, Bard and EZ didn't learn escape skills at level one. If they were caught, they would die. That's why the VG duo dared to play like this..."
Jiezou was speechless, "Did these two people show up?"
The entrance to the jungle area was sealed by his own wards. On the opposite side, Thresh and Kalista both learned E, and only flash could allow them to invade through the wall.
Normally, the first-level anti-invasion eye position would not be placed in the grass where the bottom lane connects with the river. It happens to be a blind spot in the field of vision, and was stolen by the VG duo.
"No way," Martin said helplessly, "The opponent is too cruel!"
Gu Xing was still clearing the jungle, and when he saw the good news coming from the bottom lane, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"I'm going to keep grinding all the way, and I'll level up to level four first," he reminded his teammates, "just be steady and don't be in a hurry."
Imp accepted the first blood bounty, happily returned to the bottom lane with Xiao Duan to continue farming, and hurriedly agreed.
Gu Xing is still eating the shadow wolves in the upper half of his area and is about to reach level three.
It's nearly two and a half minutes at this point.
Qian Jue's first wolf spirit mark is about to be refreshed.
With 0 layers of passive, the current version will only mark river crabs or enemy sharpbills.
Calculating according to the position, only by brushing the crabs in the river below, Gu Xing can be confident enough to collect them with the help of the lower route rights.
The probability of 1/3 is not high.
If he could really get Xiahe Crab, it would be quite silly for Gu Xing.
But this time he was not lucky.
The wolf spirit marked the enemy's Sharp Beak Camp. If Gu Xing wanted to counterattack, he had to cross the upper river to counterattack.
The difficulty is quite high, and if you can't counterattack, it will really lose the rhythm.
He could only give up.
"Sofm is very detailed!" Miller, who watched the game from a God's perspective, praised. "After he reduced his own razorbill to its remaining health, he didn't rush to kill it. Instead, he waited for the mark to be refreshed!" < br>
Rek'Sai's jungle clearing speed in the early stage was faster than Kindred's. Sofm took the lead and crippled the Sharpbill before waiting.
If he wipes F4 before two and a half minutes, Gu Xing's wolf spirit mark will be brushed on the two swift crabs, and the probability of appearing in the lower river crab is fully half.
And if he waits for a while, if the sharp-beak bird survives, it will reduce the probability of the wolf spirit marking the crab.
Sofm controls this kind of details very well and tries his best not to make Gu Xing's development more comfortable.
"Virtue's next imprint will have to wait 75 seconds..."
Gu Xing didn't suffer this loss either.
Kindred's Mark of the Wolf has a mechanic that is not written in the skill text.
No matter who removes the marked wild monster, or whether it is in one's sight or not, the mark will remain for 15 seconds from the moment the wild monster dies, and then dissipate.
Gu Xing discovered that the wolf spirit mark at the opponent's Sharp Beak Camp disappeared at 2 minutes and 47 seconds.
Pushing forward 15 seconds, we know that the opponent's F4 death time is 2 minutes and 32 seconds!
The reset nodes for the next group of sharp-beaked birds are about to be revealed!
4 minutes and 12 seconds!
Gu Xing accelerated the pace of jungle farming. Although his duo did not fight jungle monsters at the beginning, he did not have to wait for the stone beetles to refresh and could eat them directly.
But he didn't care about this group of wild monsters at all, and he didn't try to kill the river crabs. After getting the red BUFF, he got stuck at the 3 minute and 13 second point and returned to the city!
With 5 jungle groups and automatic money jump, Gu Xing's economy is still a little short of being able to synthesize a green jungle knife.
So he bought two daggers, used Kindred QW to jump forward, and rushed out of the spring at the fastest speed!
"What is Virtue trying to do?" I remember I couldn't understand. "His return to the city like this is really slowing down his pace!"
Now the extra experience provided by the second-level jungle knife for the hero when clearing the jungle is very important. Gu Xing has not synthesized it, and if Sofm returns to the city for the first time to buy the jungle knife, he will lose a lot of matchup experience.
But Gu Xing couldn't wait any longer.
He has to race against time to gain time.
Based on the known information, he knew that the Snake Team's group of Demonic Swamp Frogs had been eaten by Martin and had just been reset.
The advantage of lane control held by his own bottom lane allowed Xiao Duan to accompany his teammates to push the lane, and he could go to the opposite jungle area to ward without restraint, and happened to see Sofm still beating Frog Princess.
Gu Xing pressed the Tab key and found that the opponent's last hit count was 16.
After exterminating the Demon Swamp Frog, the total number of wild monsters in the first round is 15!
Sofm has not cleared any eye positions during this period, which means that the opponent also brushed the upper river crab!
Gu Xing knew what was going on.
Your next wolf spirit mark will appear at 3 minutes and 47 seconds.
Upper River Road Crab and Snake Team F4 has not been refreshed yet.
The only possibility is to get the Swift Crab!
Gu Xing just rushed back to the city just because of this set of marks!
"Come on, come on, help me guard, we can fight!"
Now not only does the bottom lane have the advantage of lane rights, the ice girl in the middle lane also has the initiative when facing Grasshopper, even before Malzahar's level equipment has been upgraded.
There are advantages in the middle and lower areas, and the entire lower half is controlled by VG!
Sofm was completely unaware of Gu Xing's plan.
After eating his own Demon Marsh Frogs, he had a lot of gold coins on his body. He made an eye through the wall to the lower river to try to protect the lower path, and wanted to return to the city to resupply.
It turned out that the river crabs were still alive!
Sofm's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized something was wrong.
The reason why he ate Shanghe Crab was because he knew it would be difficult for him to compete with his opponent Qian Jue for the ownership of the Swift Crab.
He thought Gu Xing had eaten it before.
I didn’t expect the other party to do something small!
Sofm has a very keen sense of smell in this area, and he immediately guessed that Gu Xing wanted to keep the river crab to control the wolf spirit mark.
He didn't want the other party to take the first layer of marks so easily, and planned to use the punishment on his body to take it away quickly before escaping.
The time quietly came to 3 minutes and 47 seconds.
The mark just appeared on the top of the Swift Crab's head.
Gu Xing jumped into the river!
Seeing the two attack speed daggers on the opponent, and the three middle and lower VGs had already rushed to cover, Sofm retreated back filled with depression!
"Excellent mark control ability!" I remember the moment I saw the wolf spirit mark, I suddenly realized it and started bragging immediately, "Virtue showed a superb level of jungle planning at the beginning!"
Gu Xing spoke very fast and asked his teammates to help him, "I don't need punishment. Please help me take a look. Don't let Rek'Sai come over and use punishment to grab it!"
Easyhoon's Ice Girl and a small piece of Thresh firmly blocked the pass, blocking all routes for Sofm to grab the jungle!
A crossbow arrow was shot, and the mark was placed on Qian Jue's head!
Gu Xing raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The show is about to begin!
