Chapter 88 087: Turn passivity into initiative!
"EDG has the priority to choose sides in this game. They got the blue side for themselves in the first set, and they sent the Tauren Chief to the ban position first!"
"On the other hand, VG blocked Sivir!"
Seeing this choice, the doll was a little confused, "Sivir?"
Miller next to him echoed in time, "Deft Sivir's proficiency is indeed very high, but his hero pool is very deep, so there seems to be no need to ban him..."
This time Redmi’s enemy in the BP round is not the head coach Abramovich who led the team to win the 2015 MSI championship.
The other party had been promoted to management at the beginning of the year.
EDG's current head coach is Rapidstar.
Fast Star.
Like Hongmi, he is also a coach who becomes a player after he retires.
In terms of his career as a player, Fast Star once won the runner-up in the S2 Global Finals with Shy, Madlife and others. Although he ultimately lost to Assassin Star, his strength was pretty good.
However, good professional performance does not mean that the coaching level is also strong.
The Rapid Star, who just started coaching this year, is considered a newcomer in the coaching world.
The new analyst to the team is named Maokai. He has not long entered the professional circle. Judging from the ID, he should be the mascot invited by EDG.
It can be said that EDG's current coaching staff is the weakest in the history of the team!
But Hongmi was not careless.
Banning Sivir was mainly to limit Deft’s carry ability as the core of the team in the late game.
In the current version, among the strong bot lane shooters, the ones with strong late-stage output capabilities are Sivir and the non-scratching critical-strike ice flow.
Sivir has W [Bounce] to bounce around and spread the damage to the back row; Ashe uses her passive [Frost Shot] to do more damage than other ADCs at full critical hit rate.
Hongmi didn't want Deft, who was in hot form, to dominate the battle, so he simply pointed the finger at him.
"EDG's second ban slot is dedicated to Thresh," Wawa hissed, "This is quite original."
"Since Virtue came on the scene, teams facing VG have either banned junglers or banned powerful characters such as Trolls, Braums, and Vampires. This time EDG has blocked the two supports Thresh and Niutou..."
Miller frowned and thought, "Is it possible that EDG wants to limit the hero pool of Xiao Duan, and then use its advantage of being the first to grab on the blue side to get a role for Meiko first, leaving VG with no auxiliary role to choose from? ”
Hongmi was pacing behind the VG player seats, his mind spinning rapidly.
Imp Kalista's proficiency is too exaggerated, so in order to maximize the strength of the bottom duo, he often gives Xiao Duan supporting roles that can be matched.
Tauren, who makes up the Twin Listas, and Thresh, who is combined with Shadow Island, are the heroes that have been used the most recently in this section.
Now they are all banned by EDG!
The other party’s intentions are obvious!
"I will release Braum, and the opponent will probably grab it," Hongmi planned to use the trick. After thinking of a countermeasure, he communicated with the team members, "But we can also get characters with good strength in exchange... ”
After saying this, he asked his team members to block the rock bird.
This female earth mage from Shurima joined the league in the mid-season version. At first, she was tepid in the professional arena and had little popularity.
The fist positions the rock bird as a roaming mid laner. The passive [Pumice Rush] will provide a movement speed bonus when approaching the wall. The R [Wall Curtain] allows the rock bird to ride on the stone wall to quickly support the distance.
The mechanics look powerful at first glance.
However, the problem is also obvious.
After Q [Stone Penetration] is cast, a quarry will be generated on the ground. If you continue to cast Stone Penetration on the quarry, the output capacity will be greatly reduced!
And as a wandering mage, unlike Ice Girl, Yanque's cards have fixed point control. Her W [Rock Burst] control is quite unstable!
Two major shortcomings made Yanjai's status in the professional arena not high.
But just like Jhin, with the passage of time, various teams have discovered her unique strategic value.
Line rights.
That is, the power to choose to push the line or control the line.
Since the rocks thrown by her Q [Stone Penetration] now also cause area damage, the speed of pushing the line is terrifying.
In the current version of the mid laner, characters such as Yellow Chicken and Three-Handed are simply unable to compete with Rock Bird in the early stage. Roaming heroes like Card and Ice Girl are not as good as her in pushing the lane in the early stage.
The speed of pushing the line is not as fast as that of Yanque. If you want to control the lane, you have to choose someone with stronger combat power during the laning phase, so that Yanque cannot use his skills to push the line at will.
For example, a ruthless character like Pan Sen.
But in the professional arena, Panson's shortcomings and flaws are so serious that it's basically impossible to choose him.
The same goes for other heroes with strong laning abilities, which are difficult to choose.
This means that almost no characters can compete with Yanqiao for line rights in the early stage!
She doesn't need help from the jungle. She can be freed from the middle by herself to drive the rhythm of the game in other areas!
You must know that the role of line rights in the professional arena will be infinitely magnified. It is not only related to the issue of taking the lead in offline support, but also closely related to the competition for neutral resources.
The side that loses the line rights can only watch its minions being played around by the opponent. Controlling the line or pushing the line depends on the enemy's thoughts, and indirectly loses the initiative in the line!
The existence of the rock bird seems to have destroyed the ecological environment of the central route right.
Moreover, R [Wall Curtain] can be used to seal roads and provide terrain protection for the team when pushing towers and taking dragons.
When the ice staff comes out, Yanque stands on the side and uses Q [Stone Penetration] to keep consuming it, which can make people sick.
With his control over lane rights, Yanque could barely make it into the first-tier mid lane hero of the version, so Redmi simply banned it.
He originally wanted to give this ban slot to Han Bing and continue to block Deft's hero pool.
However, EDG's two ban assists made Redmi change its plan.
He plans to release the ice.
In this way, both Braum and Ashe are outside, and EDG on the blue side can only choose one of them.
VG can get the remaining character and add a strong hero in the second version!
The red rice abacus is ringing loudly.
"EDG's last ban slot is given to Hou Ye's vampire, while VG blocks the troll!"
It was EDG's turn to grab, and the fast star looked embarrassed.
Just as Hongmi thought, he disabled two assists in order to give Meiko the strongest assist in the version like Braum.
And without Tauren and Thresh, it would be difficult for Imp to pick Kalista. After all, there is no suitable support to cooperate with him.
In this way, EDG will take the initiative in the bottom lane.
But Hongmi not only saw through his thoughts, but also successfully counterattacked in a short time!
Fast Star knew that if he chose Braum first, Ice would definitely be taken away.
With Sivir being banned, there is no longer a strong ADC version that can compete with Ashe in late-stage output.
It’s useless to choose a mid laner with high damage in the later stage.
Because it really has to wait until the later stages, the shooter is the most important damage dealer in the team, and the output method that relies on basic attacks is more stable than the mage skills.
To play without delay, EDG had to speed up and drive the early rhythm crazily.
Once VG delays the equipment formation stage, the team will be very uncomfortable.
Seeing time passing quickly, with 10 seconds left in the selection time, the fast star finally made up his mind.
Follow the plan you made before the game.
Get Bron!
"VG decisively obtained Shen and Han Bing. The two characters are also very powerful. At the same time, they also made it impossible for the opponent to piece together the Freljord combination of Ashe + Braum!"
Seeing that EDG quickly locked onto the hero, Miller quickly increased his speaking speed.
"EDG first got the classic big tree for Mouse, and then helped the factory director choose Reksai, who has an exaggerated proficiency," Wawa commented. "There is nothing wrong with the choice of this excavator. EDG wants the factory director to lead the team to control the front Mid-term rhythm! ”
"Now we have to see what role Virtue will choose..." Miller is full of expectations. "In the 6.13 version currently used in the game, his signature Kindred has been severely weakened, and its strength has dropped very seriously!"
The basic armor of the Everhunting Twins was cut by 7 points, and the designer's cut was really cruel.
At the same time, W [Wolf Frenzy] no longer provides healing for Kindred, and becomes a maiming wild monster, reducing its attack speed and movement speed.
All in all, it focuses on weakening Kindred's ability to clear the jungle in the early stages, causing it to lose its endurance and make it difficult to maintain a healthy blood volume even in the jungle at the beginning.
When Wawa heard this, he laughed and joked, "I can't help it. Virtue killed Qian Jue too hard in the previous rounds, and the marks were superimposed too fast, which completely affected the balance!"
"It's hard to say that Kindred's weakening has nothing to do with Virtue..."
Kindred rose up in version 6.11 due to the changes to Mark of the Wolf Spirit.
Just three weeks apart, version 6.13 hit the spot where it hurts.
Now Kind Jue is basically extinct in the professional arena.
The Qianjue trend started by Gu Xing has come to an end.
When the two commentators communicated, VG also clarified his third and fourth choice roles and locked them in.
"Virtue chose a male gun!" Miller became excited, "Will the story of 80-knife suppression be repeated again?"
When the director saw the role chosen by the other party, he showed an enigmatic smile.
During this time, he spent a lot of time studying Gu Xing's videos.
Especially male guns are the focus.
Since Gu Xing dared to choose, he would feel bad if he didn't give the other party a set meal!
VG took out the gun together with Tam, the Lord of the River.
Since you have chosen dual shooters, it is better to use a hero with protective abilities as a support.
Tahm Kench just received a wave of minor enhancements in version 6.13. The displacement distance of R [Abyssal Diving] has been increased, and the damage has also been increased.
Nosuke selected, leaving the last counter position for the mid laner Hou Ye, so that he can play more comfortably online.
"EDG got the double C of EZ+Victor... Deft Ezreal has something to say!" Wawa said with emotion.
Deft's Ezreal is as famous as Bang, and the soft-looking yellow hair is ridiculously strong in their hands!
Hongmi looked at Easyhoon and patted his shoulder from behind.
"The Marquis wanted to add another hand of control to the team, so he chose Ice Girl!"
The lineups of both sides have now been determined.
Blue side EDG: top laner Da Shu, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Victor, bottom lane EZ+Bron.
Red side VG: top laner Shen, jungler male gunner, mid laner Ice Girl, bottom lane Ashe + Tam.
"In terms of lineup alone, EDG has a lot of control, and its combat effectiveness is stronger in the early and mid-term." Miller is still judging the hero selection of both sides. "VG will exert its strength in the mid-term, and the male gun and Ashe will probably dominate the battle later on." ! ”
Wawa summed it up concisely and concisely, "To put it simply, EDG is the one who has to bear the offensive pressure. It depends on how many snowballs they can roll up!"
Hongmi is still urging, "You should pay attention to the opponent's level 1 layout. It will be no problem for EDG to change to the jungle. Don't lose more things."
"I understand, don't worry!" Gu Xing was confident, indicating that he had no problem.
Seeing this, Hongmi felt relieved. She took off her headphones and went to the center of the stage to shake hands with the fast star opposite.
In the stadium, VG supporters, who were not as numerous as EDG fans, were still waving flags and cheering.
But in front of the surging cheers from EDG fans, like a small boat in the sea, it may capsize at any time!
Gu Xing picked up the paper cup and took a sip of Coke.
Adjust your sitting posture and see Summoner's Rift coming!
Imp twisted his neck and stared at the monitor intently, concentrating on the game.
"Come here to be a defensive eye, little Gu, be prepared to change fields in the upper half of the opposite area!" Xiao Duan gushed in the team's voice, "Our bottom lane can withstand pressure in the early stage!"
VG selected Tahm Kench with protective abilities, and naturally had to sacrifice part of the team-starting and control methods.
Before level 6, the combination of Ashe + Tahm Kench was not very good at cooperating with the jungle.
Gu Xing agreed and went to the lower river with his teammates to do some eyework. As expected, he saw EDG coming to invade as a group.
"Virtue left the lower half of his area and planned to run to the top of the opposite side to clear the field..."
As a result, Gu Xing ran halfway and found that EDG had withdrawn again, and they returned and dispersed along the river.
The opponent doesn't change to the jungle?
Gu Xing didn't understand EDG's intention.
But if the factory director doesn't change the wild monsters, he won't be able to invade the top half of EDG rashly.
"They should have made eyes here," Gu Xing clicked on the position between the blue buff on his lower half and the Demon Swamp Frog camp, "Do you want to eat the Demon Swamp Frog?"
"Eat, eat!" Imp expressed his thoughts, "I will grab level 2 to help you see the position of the excavator on the opposite side!"
Even if EDG invades the ward position, there is a high probability that they will be able to see their jungle-eating movement in the bottom lane.
But nothing stands in the way.
The EZ + Braum chosen by EDG is very difficult to stop at level 1.
Gu Xing ran to his stone beetle camp and asked Brother Long's Shen to help him clear the field.
Anyway, EDG must have set eyes on their own jungle area, and they can determine the jungle route when he is not there.
In this case, there is no need to hide it.
Asking Brother Long to come over and help, Gu Xing finished swiping the stone beetles as quickly as possible and moved towards the red buff.
During this period, the screen was cut to observe the three channels.
Brother Long came online simultaneously with Mouse's big tree on the opposite side.
When Deft appeared in the bottom lane, he had two more last-hit shots. It seemed that he and Meiko ate EDG's stone beetles from below.
The factory manager probably did it from top to bottom.
"Imp, sweep up here..." Gu Xing used a signal to mark the route for his teammates.
Gu Shengbin, who had just completed the first wave of three melee soldiers and upgraded them to level 2, immediately learned E [Eagle Strikes the Sky] and shot the Eagle Spirit according to the route given by his jungler.
After exploring the enemy's field of vision all the way, Gu Xing successfully saw the situation in the EDG wild area.
The factory director's Rek'Sai was indeed brushed from top to bottom, and it is eating three wolves at the moment.
The blue BUFF was not beaten and was still alive in the camp.
Gu Xing understood clearly.
Rek'Sai leaves a blue BUFF, which is also a normal method.
After all, the excavators don't have much demand for blue BUFF. They often leave the first blue BUFF to their own mid laner to allow teammates to develop faster.
Moreover, if the mid laner obtains the blue BUFF in advance, he can also use the blue recovery to maintain battery life, enhance his combat effectiveness and ability to push the lane, and then control the lane.
With the mid lane right, Rek'Sai can do more in the early game.
complement each other.
Under normal circumstances, this blue BUFF will be obtained by Scout when Rek'Sai returns to the city for a supply wave and returns to the top half to prepare for the second round of wild monsters.
This time point is just right.
Scout's Victor can use skills at will in the first three levels to ensure that his push progress will not fall too far behind Marquis Ice Girl. If he comes back and gets a blue BUFF, he can increase his mana.
After a wave lasts for about 6 minutes, you can upgrade the Hex Technology core when you return to the city, evolve the E [Death Ray], and the line clearing ability will be greatly enhanced.
In this way, Scout's development rhythm will be perfect.
However, factory director Reksai gave up the first blue buff, which also had certain drawbacks.
The most critical thing is that he only brushes his own jungle area, and the experience provided by the camp is not enough to upgrade the excavator to level 4.
And since the blue BUFF is not consumed, Rek'Sai will save a lot of time in the jungle.
You know, Deft starts by eating a group of stone beetles.
If the factory director follows the instructions of Demon Swamp Frog-Three Wolves-F4-Red BUFF, by the time he finishes four groups of camps, the stone beetle will not be refreshed yet!
In other words, the factory director only has 4 groups of camps to farm before three and a half minutes of the game!
Where will he go for the rest of the time?
Gu Xing was still thinking in his mind.
The hands kept operating, and Q [End of the Road] connected with the basic attack to pocket the red BUFF.
"The factory director came to the lower half after eating the three wolves. He didn't care about F4, but took the red BUFF first!"
Miller noticed that Clearlove's route was abnormal, "Rek'Sai crossed the lower river after reaching level three. Is he going to invade?!"
In the pilot footage, Rek'Sai, who was lurking under the surface, plunged into the VG wild area!
"The level three excavator has a red BUFF, and its combat effectiveness is indeed quite strong," Wawa pondered for a moment, "But Virtue's male gun is not weak either, and he also has a full layer of pure manly passives!"
After beating the sharp-beaked bird to the last bit of blood, Gu Xing pulled the wild monster through the narrow path between the first and second towers in the middle.
When the wild monster is about to return to the camp to regain health, he takes it away with one shot.
This continues the pure man's passive. Gu Xing enters the three wolves camp with super high resistance, and clears the jungle at a leisurely pace.
"Virtue's blood volume remains quite healthy," the doll asserted, "Rek'Sai is definitely no match for the male gunner!"
However, the pilot shot suddenly cut to the bottom lane.
The bottom lane combination of Deft and Meiko is suppressing the lane.
The consequences of Imp's second-level point E [Eagle Strikes the Sky] are revealed. Han Bing lacks a skill and his combat effectiveness is not as good as Ezreal.
The level 1 strength of Tahm in a small section is also inferior to Braum.
The third wave of troops arriving at the bottom lane at 2 minutes and 48 seconds contained an artillery trooper.
Meiko took advantage of the effect of the Sacred Artifact Shield and quickly ate it.
Cooperate with the ADC to push the troops deep into the tower, then turn around and run to the river, seemingly to gain vision.
In fact, he crossed the river, broke into the VG wild area, and headed straight for the Three Wolf Camp!
Clearlove was currently squatting in the grass between the first tower in VG and the lower jungle area, just opposite the VG Three Wolf camp, and could use geohearing to detect Gu Xing's movement in the jungle.
"Meiko is going to join the factory director!" Miller finally knew EDG's plan. "They want to have a wild assistant linkage to bring out Virtue's flash, or wait for an opportunity to kill!"
If there is Braum's ignition and the control of the passive [Concussive Blow], the factory director has every chance to kill Gu Xing!
"Now it depends on whether Virtue's sense of smell can detect something is wrong..."
Miller murmured, his eyes locked on the canyon.
The VG fans in the audience were on tenterhooks and worried about this.
After Deft pushed his troops forward, he did not continue to suppress imp in front of the tower. Instead, he took two steps back and disappeared from the sight of the VG duo.
His actions caused Xiao Duan to wonder whether Meiko had returned to the lane - because even if Meiko returned to the bottom lane, she would not be able to come to the tower to let him take a look.
However, with a rigorous attitude, Xiao Duan still quickly sent out a signal to let his teammates be more vigilant.
"The opponent's support may go to the middle or jungle, please be careful!"
Gu Xing received the tip given by Xiao Duan, combined with his previous thoughts on the factory director's jungle route, a guess emerged in his mind.
"Master Marquis, please come closer to me," his voice was strong and urgent, and the signal mark was placed on the grass below, separated from the tower and wall in VG, "by the way, take a look at this place!"
No matter whether EDG Nosuke wants to catch himself or Easyhoon, as long as the two of them can get together, it will be extremely safe!
The Marquis is reminiscing with Scout in the middle lane. The younger brother uses his skills frequently, and the army position is still in the middle. It is obvious that he will be able to get the blue BUFF transferred from the factory director later, so he is confident.
After hearing Gu Xing's words, the Marquis immediately walked to the wild area without even thinking about it.
"The factory director is about to be discovered!"
Wawa yelled in surprise, "He has to retreat, otherwise he will be surrounded by VG midfielder and jungler!"
Clearlove saw that Hou Ye abandoned the middle line of troops and entered the wild area. He realized that something was wrong at that time, and he quickly ran away.
Unfortunately, a wall eye has already landed and successfully inserted his figure!
"Leave him alone, I can chase him!" Without thinking, Gu Xing controlled Graves to use E [Quick Draw] to cross the Three Wolf camp and appear in front of Reksai.
A shot of shotgun A at the extreme distance is on the factory director!
"The burning effect of the red buff stuck to the factory director. He turned in E [Dig Tunnel] and wanted to leave quickly!"
Meiko's Braum showed up, and she wanted to use Q [Winter's Bite] to slow down Gu Xing and hinder his pursuit.
But just when Winter's Bite was about to hit the male gun, a golden light flashed in the sky!
"Virtue flashed forward and fired another bullet with his evasion skills!" The doll's screams echoed throughout the audience, "Oh my god, isn't this too fierce?!"
The factory director was shocked by Gu Xing's decisive attack.
The Marquis controlled the Ice Girl to use E [Glacier Path] to block his escape route. The director was afraid of being immobilized by the Ice Girl, so he could only flash to distance himself!
"The director is so frustrated this time. He steals the chicken but loses the rice. Not only did he fail to attack Virtue, but he also handed over his own flash... and VG Nakano refused to let him go and pursued him forcefully!"
< br>
Marquis triggered the second stage of E and came to the location of the crampons.
He did not flash +W [Ring of Frost], and the damage to himself and Gu Xing was not enough to kill the factory director.
But there is still no problem with disgusting people.
Q [Ice Shard] hit accurately, and the slowdown effect that lasted for 1.5 seconds hung on Reksai. Gu Xingqi stepped forward, the smoke bomb continued to slow down, and hit the opponent with two shots!
"The junior boy came over. Although he left some blue, Victor's role in the early stage is really limited!"
This was also the reason why Gu Xing dared to take action before his own duo arrived at the battlefield.
The younger brother posed no threat to him.
I have a full layer of blessings from pure men, and my combat power is extremely strong with up to 70 points of double resistance!
Gu Xing forcibly reduced the factory director's health to only 1/3. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he left.
Although there was no kill, the shouts of VG supporters were still deafening, venting their inner emotions wantonly!
"Virtue turned around to eat his own blue BUFF, and then ignored the refreshed Demon Swamp Frog and rushed up through the middle..."
Miller blurted out, "He's going to the blue zone against EDG!"
"A wave of competition in the jungle allows Virtue to seize the opportunity and turn passivity into initiative!" The doll said in a high-pitched voice, "The factory director seems to have no way to stop it!"
Now, except for the red BUFF on hit, punishment will not apply the blood recovery effect.
Clearlove only relies on Rek'Sai's passive to restore health, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the blood that has been lost.
His face was solemn.
Something doesn't seem right.
Big chapter tomorrow.
