With the experience of the first two rounds, the third round of Ban/Pick went very quickly.
The Chinese team has won consecutive victories. Naturally, they do not need to change their thinking significantly. They only need to learn from the hard battle in the second game and ban the three bottom lane heroes Ashe, Varus, and Lulu to avoid losing. Just having control over the lower half of the field and the dragon.
In addition to Ashe and Varus, Ruler also has a high winning rate when using EZ and Xayah. One is 69.2% in 13 games, and the other is 80% in 5 games. However, Iboy is good at EZ during the laning period. The female policeman was defeated, and the strong period of developing into the three-phase two-piece set of magic cut coincided with the strong period of the top laner. If the ruler dares to take EZ, the first thing he will face is a beating from Iboy. He will endure it until he comes out of the mountain. The one who arrived was Ye Tian, whose guarantee was half a big lead... Don't let the picture be too pretty.
Not to mention Xia.
In the version of Infinity Blade that has been reworked into a version that converts real damage, and the appearance rate of tank heroes is getting lower and lower, the traditional AD has lost the extra critical damage bonus, and the upper limit of team battles has been reduced a lot. Naxia can't put any pressure on the Chinese team.
Among the three heroes that have been reworked this season, the Korean team did not dare to release Akali, who had no ability to jump over the tower, nor did they dare to release Sword Girl, whose operation limit was ridiculously high. The only Sword Demon who dared to release was killed by Ye Tian in a wave. It has become a must-have.
From a confrontation perspective, Sword Demon is a hero that Kiin can barely cope with.
But the mentality of the Korean team members who have just experienced a tragic defeat will be greatly affected when they see Sword Demon.
In the game where he was forced into a desperate situation, Edgar, the head coach, did not dare to release this monster that could descend from heaven to earth under any circumstances.
You must know that although the word 'mentality' cannot be reflected intuitively, from laning to operations to team battles, every performance is closely related to the mentality. Release the Sword Demon, which is equivalent to playing in the game. Before starting, Edgar half-destroyed the Korean team members' mentality. As long as Edgar didn't have a headache, he wouldn't dare to do this.
Entering the selection stage.
The Korean team first locked down Galio, the Colossus of Justice who Faker defeated RNG in the semifinals last year.
Obviously, after losing two games in a row, the Korean team put its hope in Faker's support and overall teamfighting ability.
Replacing Bang and letting Chikui, who has a playing style close to UZI and is good at output in a four-guarantee-one environment, come on the stage, is to pave the way for Faker to take Galio.
Compared with Bang's stability and versatility, Chiku's relatively extreme style of play is more in line with the current needs of the Korean team.
but.
Galio suffered a series of nerfs after last year’s World Finals, reducing the base damage of his Q and E skills, and cutting the physical damage reduction provided by W to only half of its original level. Although The AP income has been greatly increased, making the legal Galio in the passerby game more enjoyable. However, in the game, the role of the legal Galio is obviously far less than that before the weakening, which can defeat big trees, big bugs, trolls, The first tank of a series of fantasy gods such as Poppy.
The South Korean team is trying to steal Galio from Faker on the first floor. No matter how you look at it, it sounds like they are at their wits end.
"How about Kled?"
Ab thought of a plan that has been proven in actual combat: "How do you say that... By the way, Spider Kled , people are like dogs.”
"The Korean team dares to pick Galio first, so they should have thought about how to face off against Kled." Ye Tian didn't think he could kill him like before: "The easiest way is to play a hero on the road who is suitable for shrinking the tower, and follow us. When switching lanes, it is difficult for Kled to kill top lane heroes with high attributes, and it is easy to suffer losses when playing lane switching operations against the Korean team."
"Indeed, I was careless."
" Ye Tian, what do you think is better?”
Abu is limited by his rank and his knowledge is not very comprehensive, but his understanding ability is very strong. He understood it after listening to Ye Tian’s analysis.
"Just like what I said before, give me Pike." Ye Tian wanted to satisfy the water ghost in his prime.
There are many heroes that have been weakened. There are many heroes who were urgently weakened just after they went online, and even couldn't be released from the test server. However, there has never been a hero that has touched the designer's reverse scale like Pike.
The weakening of other heroes is just to change the numerical value, and there are often operations such as slapping a piece of candy while weakening some attributes while strengthening some attributes, which is equivalent to a child being deducted for playing too much. Pocket money; in a patch, Pike changed the Q skill to single-target damage, the E skill to cancel the damage to non-hero units, and the clearing ability directly returned to zero, which can be directly interrupted without lying on the bed (staying in the auxiliary position) With both hands and legs, the word "extreme" is not enough to describe the method.
It was also from Pike that the designer tore off the mask on his face, no longer looking for far-fetched reasons, and made it clear that the game must develop in the direction he hoped for.
I feel bad now.
It may not be as pleasant in the future.
In addition to meeting his personal needs, Ye Tian chose Pike for another more important reason - at a time when everyone regarded Pike as a support, the Chinese team played Pike first, which allowed Meiko to get Counter's opponent's hero in the bottom lane. Maximize the matchup advantage of the two-man lane.
So.
The Chinese team chose the first two choices, policewoman + Parker, who seemed to be a pair.
“Oh?”
“Policewoman Pike...is not bad either!”
Wang Duoduo was the first to be deceived: "Pike's control mechanism is similar to Thresh's. It can be used with the policewoman's clip to trigger a headshot. Compared with Thresh, Pike's initiative and roaming ability are stronger. The Chinese team should be trying to be more proactive after experiencing passivity in the last game.”
“The strength of the hero still has a great impact on the situation. After all, not everyone is like player Ye Tian. He has the ability to influence the version." Rita continued: "The Korean team got the Xialuo combination on the second and third floors. At the beginning of the season, the sharing mechanism of Xialuo's W [Deathly Feather Clothes] was weakened, which made the Xialuo combination stronger. There has been a significant decline, but facing Pike, Xia Luo has very good self-protection and counterattack capabilities, and is a good response. "
This is the truth.
When the Korean team just took out Xia Luo, they also felt that the bottom lane would not suffer.
But not long after, the faces of the coach Edgar and the bottom laners Chi Di and CoreJJ all changed.
——The wine barrel that the Chinese team took out on the third floor was a normal hero. The vampire they took out after the second round of bans was not unexpected. However, when the Korean team used it on the fourth and fifth floors to grab substitute bans. After taking out the Qinggang Shadow and Olaf who was easy to cooperate with, the last choice of the Chinese team was...Fallen Angel-Morgana!
Policewoman Pike?
Wrong!
It’s policewoman Morgana!
During the laning phase, Pike was countered by Xia Luo, so he would easily suffer losses regardless of whether he went first or backhand.
However, the combination of policewoman Morgana, who combines consumption, line pushing, bonus drawing, and control-free, with a much longer hand than Xia Luo, was put in place. Half of the Korean team's bottom lane collapsed before they entered the Summoner's Rift.
The more important point is, who has ever seen top laner Pike?
How to fight in the laning phase? !
“Pyke top laner?”
“Why is Pyke top laner?”
"Can the hero Pike still play top lane?"
Kiin looked at the water ghost who was switched to the top lane in the last 5 seconds, and asked three soul questions in succession: "I have never seen this kind of gameplay. Let’s pass!”
“It shouldn’t be difficult to fight Parker, right?” Little Peanut didn’t quite understand: “Anyway, don’t fight him to the end, keep your E skill and run back. I have a big move waiting for me to catch it.”
“Okay!” Kiin was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.
In the first game, Kiin was full of confidence, and his mind was filled with thoughts of stepping on Ye Tian to become famous.
In the second scene, Kiin was brought back to reality, thinking that he should just live well.
In the third game, Kiin suffered two consecutive blows, and his self-confidence was completely shattered. He was not even sure of his survival against Ye Tian, and he just wanted to follow his teammates to get through the laning period.
The Korean coach Edagr, who was walking towards the center of the field, heard the conversation behind him and was full of worries. However, due to the regulations, he could not turn around to communicate with the players. He could only place his hope on the support of Xiaohuahua and Faker. superior. "Top laner Pike."
"Brother Tian is playing tricks again."
Shenchao looked at the game screen with great interest: "I thought about it carefully. Parker has the ability to clear the line, the ability to recover, and also has very good first-hand control and escape. The confrontation may not be that strong, but this aspect can be improved through personal control." The ability to make up for it, from a mechanical point of view, Pike can indeed go on the road.”
“Especially after the weakening of Qinggang Shadow”
“The Korean team’s idea is to grab Tiange’s hero. , bring Galio into the field when playing in a team, and you can split-push the wing until the later stage, but with Qinggangying's current strength, it's hard to say whether he can beat Pike - if Qinggangying is suitable to go "
Compared with heroes.
Shenchao turned his perspective to the overall situation again: "After the sixth level of Qinggang Shadow, it is quite unsolvable to keep Pike in the ultimate move and let Galio and Olaf arrest people together. Brother Tian wants to avoid this combo. , the best way is to penetrate the Qinggang Shadow before level 6... It is still a bit difficult. From my understanding, I really don’t know how Pike can achieve speed on the top lane.”
[One thing to say, speedrunning is not that easy]
[Twin ponytails are difficult, but they are really difficult, but I believe Brother Tian can do it]
[Brother Tian is watching The top laner Pike was only replaced in Qinggangying. If you are not sure of the breakthrough, it is impossible to replace Pike]
[Wait for "Pike's Creed"]
[Don't say it, it's true picture! 】
When the screen loads into the Summoner's Rift, Pike, who uses the "Sands of Resentment" accompanying skin, wears a white colorful hood, exactly like the character in Assassin's Creed.
The lineup then appeared on both sides of the screen.
Blue side: South Korea
Red side: Chinese team
Top lane: Qinggangying vs. Parker
Jungler: Olaf vs. Gragas
Mid laner: Galio vs. Vampire
AD: Xayah vs. Policewoman
Assistant: Luo vs. Morgana
< br>From a confrontational perspective.
The vampires on the Chinese team are more comfortable facing Galio.
Policewoman + Morgana play Xia Luo in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
Wine barrels need to be properly avoided when encountering Olaf, but they will not suffer a loss. After all, Olaf focuses on development in the early stage. In order to pursue the speed of clearing the jungle, the blood volume must be reduced. Wine barrels have an advantage in online heroes. In this case, there is no problem in ensuring that your own jungle area is not lost.
The only suspense is getting on the road.
Pike has been fixed in the auxiliary position before, and his overall winning rate hovers around 40%, and his data performance is weak.
But in Ye Tian's hands, the words "data performance" don't mean much.
Using Akali in the first game is the best example.
“The first one is the earth dragon.”
“In these three games, the dragon attributes are very good.”
Wang Duoduo combined the lineup: “Against the two For the team, getting the first earth dragon can increase the chance of winning by almost 10%. Our policewoman is very slow at beating the baron, and the Korean team is relatively short of damage output, so the value of the earth dragon will be very high."
"Fortunately, we have the upper hand in the bottom lane." Rita pointed out the important point: "If we put Pike in the support position, we would be very passive in the early stage. If we change it to Morgana as the support, we will become the Korean team passively."
< br>"That's right." Wang Duoduo nodded: "Look at the cornerstone runes, two quick footwork for AD, two guardians for auxiliary, the bottom lane is exactly the same, the jungler is a predator, and the mid laner Galio is Aftershock. , Vampire is the Omen of Stealing, top laner Qinggang Shadow leads the Grasp of Immortality, Pike is the Predator... Player Ye Tian is a predator, and other positions in the Korean team should be a bit chilly."
< br>Ye Tian is very good at extending his advantage to other lanes, often appearing in inexplicable positions to catch his opponents.
With predators that increase movement speed, the threat level increases to more than one level.
And.
Ye Tian's equipment when going out is shoes + reusable potion.
This means that as long as the initial CD of 180 seconds passes, Ye Tian can drive the 'Predator' cornerstone enchanted on his shoes and enter the jungle to cause trouble for Olaf!
Little Peanut originally wanted to start in the lower half. After clearing the first wave of wild monsters, he would go to the top lane to see if Kiin needed support, and help with anti-crouching or lane relief according to the situation.
Seeing Ye Tian with the predator, Little Peanut immediately changed his mind and ran to the upper half of the area without hesitation, pulling the blue buff and the magic swamp frog together to fight, highlighting a dead Taoist friend who would not die. Pindao.
In the meantime.
Meiko played a trick with Mala Xiang Guo.
Meiko and Iboy first went to the river to broaden their horizons. When they saw the figures of King Chi and CoreJJ, Meiko's first-level student Q [Dark Imprisonment] came to draw a lottery.
Since it’s called a lottery, of course it’s not that easy to win.
As soon as the Q skill failed, it meant that Morgana was not learning the W that is most suitable for pushing the lane. Chidi and CoreJJ got this information and started to clear the troops when they went online, intending to grab the second level first and make up for it. The Xialuo combination faces the disadvantage of policewoman + Morgana.
Logically speaking, there is no problem with the handling of Chidi and CoreJJ.
The question is...when did the spicy hotpot ever follow the rules?
After opening the blue BUFF alone, Mala Xiang Guo ran into the river with a bucket, passed through the triangular grass, and went around behind Chi Di and CoreJJ.
Go around the corner.
E [Meat Bomb Impact] Move forward!
Flash for another stretch!
The E flashed across a distance of nearly a thousand yards without leaving any way behind, knocking the Ruler staggering, causing him to be stunned and controlled for a second. Meiko connected with Q [Dark Imprisonment] just right, and stopped the Ruler for another two seconds.
The AD hero who pressed into the opponent's half at level one was charged for three full seconds.
Don’t talk about Emperor Chi.
You won’t survive if you let gods control it.
Not only could the Chinese team get first blood, but they could also allocate kills to Iboy, allowing the policewoman, who already had extremely high laning intensity, to enter an invincible state.
The good news about the bottom lane had just come out, but before the regular replay started, another reminder floated above the big screen.
——CHN, Tian (Blood Harbor Ghost Shadow) killed KOR, Kiin (Qinggang Shadow)! (End of this chapter)
