Chapter 165 The first battle, facing KT
July 8th.
The last day of the Intercontinental Tournament.
Also the finals.
LPL vs. LCK.
After deliberation, the LPL finally decided to adopt the tactic of redemption.
Intercontinental competition, the first game of the finals.
The IG Trident faced off against the Galaxy Battleship KT.
“Are you stressed?”
Looking at the person opposite, IG’s voice simply enlivened the atmosphere.
"What's the pressure? Just do it and it's over!"
Ah Shui twisted his neck, as if a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"The opponent is the world champion!"
Jian Jian laughed and joked.
“Aren’t you the same?”
A few people were laughing and joking, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
KT starts with five players, Smeb in the top lane, Score in the jungle, Ucal in the middle, Deft in the bottom lane, and Mata as an assistant!
These players can be said to be extremely popular players in the LCK division.
Needless to mention the bottom duo, they were two of the ten three-star players back then.
Mata is the world champion of S4.
Although Deft does not have the championship honors now, in another time and space, he inherited the final glory of the Ten Stars and successfully reached the top!
As for several other people, their later lives seemed to have ended early, but in this time period, they are at their peak.
Smeb, the top laner, was once known as the best player in the world.
Among the top lane rankings announced by Riot Games.
Smeb ranked first, Khan ranked second, and theshy ranked third.
(This ranking is not given now, but in the future.)
Smeb is also the first top laner in the world to achieve 1,000 kills.
The jungler Score is a very legendary player.
Once upon a time, when he was an AD player, he took a policewoman and his teammates took a robbery.
Yes, it is the Yue Lun who has been mentioned repeatedly and has never been forgotten.
During the Double Tribulation War, he was the person who experienced it personally.
It's just been turned into a background board.
His teammate at the time was one of the four assistants named M. During the spring split, coach Mafa led IG to 18 consecutive victories.
Of course, Score was not called this name at that time, and it was not well-known.
The most impressive thing is that he is as stable as an old dog and basically immortal.
But with Deft, imp and other ADs leaving, Score also changed its position.
In a roundabout way, he became a jungler and came to KT.
He has a title called the Soul of KT.
But compared to this, people prefer to call him the God of Junglers!
Yes, a person without a championship is more popular than a stupid chicken!
From here we can see how terrifying his strength is.
The championship of the S competition is a matter for five people, but personal strength belongs to oneself.
After Benji has retired, he is now the well-deserved jungler of the LCK.
He is just like UZI, controlling thunder and lightning in his own position. Although he does not have the S crown, it does not affect people's liking for him.
The reason why he is similar to UZI is because he is destined to be restrained by SKT.
His career didn't seem to have much to do with the championship. He met SKT again and again, and then fell again and again.
But this does not affect him from becoming the god of jungle.
Sometimes you like a player not just because of his honor.
As for the mid laner Ucal, the deepest impression is that he dealt 2080 damage, which was lower than Xiaohu’s 2200. It will basically last a lifetime.
This time, KT chose the blue side, while IG was on the red side.
As the first game of the competition in the division, points are naturally crucial.
Both sides want to win first.
Especially IG, who reunited with Trident, is full of confidence.
As soon as they came up, KT took down Qinggangying, Zoe, and Hanbing first!
“KT’s bans are very targeted. Ning’s Qinggangying, Rookie’s Zoe, and Simple Hanbing. It can be seen that KT is very afraid of this Hanbing. Otherwise, we won’t be banned in the first three hands!”
Miller was delighted.
This is the card!
It means that you have no way to deal with it, you can only press it directly and occupy a position.
As long as you dare to let it out, I will take it!
As long as you take it, you must be prepared to lose.
That’s how confident you are!
Having past performance, now when other teams face IG, this is a point they have to pay attention to.
“IG has killed Nightmare and Thalia. They are all heroes that can support quickly. They simply need to roam. When the time comes, Jack will be alone online. It will be very uncomfortable to release these heroes. The third hand pressed down the crow, which is very strong in this version of the deposit."
In comparison, the banners on IG are quite satisfactory.
“Oops, KT stole the sword demon first hand!”
It's a pity to have long hair.
(At this time, major events were basically dominated by the Haier brothers with long hair)
After all, theshy had just returned, and his stunning appearance of a sword-wielding demon god coming down from the earth was very trustworthy.
“I originally thought that theshy could get the Sword Demon, but it was a pity that KT snatched it first, but IG can get a pig girl.”
A few explanations All expressed their own opinions.
"If Sword Demon and Pig Girl are on the same side, they will be very powerful. After all, in this version, Sword Demon is a bit bulky. Let's see what IG will choose!"
"Oh, I took the wine barrel in my first hand. It seems that I should get the hero first for Ning so that he can feel more comfortable in the jungle!"
"I picked up Yize in my second hand. Do I need to get AD first? Instead, I want to get Ryze. ”
“The midfielder with Ryze and Barrel has some control, burst, and strong opening. It’s a very good combination.”
“Hey? Let’s take Viru first. Si!”
"If you choose Verus, it should be difficult for your opponent to choose Tetsuo and go down the lane. After all, Tetsuo's hands are too short. Facing a long hand like Verus, it will be very uncomfortable online."
"KT's second and third hands directly dealt with Zhu Mei and Shen. Oops, KT's first three hands are really good. Pig Girl is very strong in conjunction with the Sword Demon, and there can be an extra Shen at any time for support."
" The three of them, Uenosuke, are very powerful. The most important thing is that they have control, front row and output all in one hand."
"Look at what IG has on its third hand."
“Ryze, we still won! This midfielder combination is very good.”
Both sides began to enter the second round of bans.
IG directly eliminated Tetsuo. After the revision, this thing is very difficult to deal with. It is very annoying to go down the road.
The last move was to press down Ize in a targeted manner.
After all, Deft’s Izawa is definitely the signature hero.
Then IG got a knife girl for theshy.
Each generation of versions is a god, and each generation of versions is a knife girl.
The top laner is too strong, go ahead girl!
The mid laner is too strong, go ahead girl!
AD is too strong, come on girl!
Is the sword girl too weak? Do it again and keep cutting!
"Theshy's Sword Girl is also a good choice to fight the Sword Demon. Of course, this Sword Girl may also go to the middle."
"KT chose Vel'Koz in the fourth hand and Jay in the last hand. Si.”
Seeing KT’s last two choices after knocking off Mundo and Ornn, several commentators couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“KT has revitalized its lineup. The bottom lane combination of Jess Gashen and Uenosuke are very capable in fighting, taking into account both the front row and entering the court.
Finally Two chose two long hands.
On the other hand, IG is a bit fragile. There is no front row. I think they can get a piece of meat in the last hand and see how they choose to revitalize their lineup! "
"Simple, what do you want? "
Coach Jin's Chinese is not very good, but it is very convenient for simple communication, that is, he can speak Korean directly.
"The combination of Shen and Jayce in the bottom lane is very strong. Do you think you should choose What's better to fight? ”
Hearing Coach Jin’s words, Jian Jian did not respond immediately.
This time, Coach Jin and the commentator were both confused by the opponent's choice.
Their inherent thinking is that the mage takes the middle path.
So naturally I didn’t expect that KT’s move was actually Vel’Koz taking the bottom lane and Jayce taking the middle lane.
In another time and space, IG was tricked like this.
This time Vel'Koz directly blinded them.
It is precisely for this reason that IG lost this game and put the pressure on the following teams.
"Vy'Koz goes down the lane...then choose him!"
"What? Vel'Koz goes down the lane?"
Hearing simple words, Coach Jin’s expression changed.
But if you think about it carefully, it is possible.
Jace is originally a super swing hero who can go up, middle and down.
If Jace goes to the middle or top lane, and Vel'Koz and Shen go to the bottom lane...
Coach Jin was frightened when he thought of this possibility.
"Coach, I choose this!"
Said, without waiting for his consent, he directly selected a hero's avatar and clicked OK.
"See my power!"
A low voice sounded.
Coach Jin didn’t say much when he saw the simple choice.
Because simplicity comes with a lot of autonomy.
The reason for this is naturally due to good performance and strong strength. "Huh? Xerath?"
Seeing that IG chose Xerath in the last move, I was puzzled.
“After taking Xerath, IG’s lineup is too fragile, right? And their AP damage is too much!”
Barrel, Ryze, Zerra For these three mage heroes, just stack magic resistance on the opposite side!
“Without a stable front row, IG’s lineup is really prone to accidents. If the Sword Demon attacks, there’s nothing they can do!”
Miller also frowned.
He very much hoped that this was a mistake, but unfortunately, until the heroes started to be exchanged, BP was not restarted.
“Huh?”
Seeing KT’s exchange, several people were surprised.
“Ve’Koz is off the road?”
Seeing this choice, apart from being puzzled, they didn't feel much at all.
The choice between the two sides does not appear directly, but is a constant battle of wits and courage that is always going on.
One moment Dao Mei goes up, and another moment Ryze goes up.
The double defense struggled for a while, and it was not until the time was almost over that the lineup finally appeared.
Blue square KT.
In the top lane, Jace, fight the Wild Boar Girl, the Sword Demon in the middle lane, and Vel'Koz in the bottom lane to be careful.
Red square IG.
The top laner Ryze, the jungler Barrel, the mid laner Sword Girl, and the bottom lane Verus Gazelas.
“Okay, the first game of the 2018 Asia Championship finals, IG vs. KT, let’s get into an exciting game!”
“Ve’Koz played the bottom lane, but they didn’t want it Come out!”
Ah Shui complained, he just suggested taking Morgana.
With Morgana here, she is a Counter for Pig Girl. If you react quickly enough, you can use Morgana's shield to offset Pig Girl's ultimate move.
With simple strength, he naturally believed that he could do it.
But if Morgana is taken, it will be difficult for them to face Vel'Koz down below!
“To be honest, IG’s BP doesn’t have an advantage in this one!”
The game has not yet entered, and the commentator is analyzing the choices of both sides.
“KT’s choice is really unexpected.”
Miller sighed.
“The Blade Girl was chosen because she wanted to beat Vel’Koz. Against Warriors, the Blade Girl didn’t have the advantage. KT chose to take Vel’Koz to the bottom lane, perfectly avoiding the Blade Girl. Counter.
Jace's battle against Ryze on the top lane was also quite uncomfortable, and the same was true for Sword Girl in the middle lane. If he hadn't unexpectedly chosen Xerath in the bottom lane, Verus would have no long arms. Advantage! ”
"Yes, the choices of both sides are very unexpected. Let's see what the final result will be!"
The choice is over, and at this time they can only choose to believe in the players.
After entering the game, Jian Jian did not choose the auxiliary equipment, but unexpectedly chose a dark seal.
“What the hell, what do you want to do?”
Seeing his equipment, Ah Shui Flax fell down.
"Don't worry too much about the tools. This army line is yours, and the heads are mine. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!"
Hearing what Jian Jian said, Ah Shui He understood in a second and said hurriedly, Brother Shan, don’t worry, he’s lying down!
Simple doesn’t like Mata very much.
Not because of his madness.
They are all young geniuses, who will obey whom?
This is not a problem.
What really makes him annoying is his professional attitude.
Gela the Windspeaker!
One-handed Jace!
Whether it's in a game or in rankings, he doesn't like people who have this kind of teammate mentality.
The simplicity of the past never surrendered no matter how desperate the situation was.
Although it is a low-end game, it has its own persistence.
Believe that everything is possible until the last moment.
Nowadays, for the sake of efficiency, he sometimes takes the initiative, just to quickly start the next move.
But he really hates people who are actors, give away people's lives, and have a teammate mentality.
It doesn’t bother him even if he hangs up.
Because there are many reasons for hanging up.
In addition to those who hung up due to quarrels, some were due to temporary matters, some were due to power outages, and some were due to poor Internet speed.
There are various reasons and can be forgiven.
"Educate them well."
Said simply and quickly went online.
There is nothing particular about the opening.
The other side didn't give them a chance, so if they try to catch them here, they won't get much benefit. Even if they can kill people, they might be able to replace each other, and they don't know how many key skills they will have to hand by then.
In this case, it is better not to fight and keep the skills.
On the other side, KT's bottom lane is also very relaxed.
They are the top ten players of three stars, and they have dominated the bottom lane for a whole year.
Hit the whole world directly.
At this time, facing IG’s bottom lane, I am naturally confident.
Dirty Dance is just a new AD AD. Although he was the world champion last year, he only became a support player this year and has only played a few games in his career. He is really not worthy of their attention.
As veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, they naturally have such confidence.
After coming online, Deft showed some concern for the younger generation.
However, Vel'Koz's skills are easy to dodge, so he was easily pulled away by the two of them.
Ah Shui began to accumulate strength.
He believes in simplicity, so he believes he can do it.
Although Deft kept moving, a bright arcane chain flew out and easily stopped Vel'Koz in his tracks.
This kind of directional skill is simply impossible to empty.
Shen's sword array cannot block skills, so naturally there is no way to help Deft.
After simply immobilizing Deft, Ah Shui also fired an arrow that had been charged to the limit.
Suddenly, Deft's blood volume dropped.
"At the beginning, Vel'Koz wanted to exchange blood, but IG's bottom duo kept the distance, and IG counterattacked.
This is a simple skill, and the hit rate is really ridiculous. Deft was unable to pull away and was immobilized. Ah Water Arrow dealt a high amount of damage, and Deft suffered a loss during the initial test!"
The baby suppressed a smile.
They are no strangers to Deft and Mata. After all, these two have played in the LPL for many years and are old acquaintances.
But now they are back in the LCK, and they are the enemy!
After the first trial, Deft became a lot more honest.
The support on the opposite side is a master!
He came to a conclusion instantly.
Just now he tried his best to pull back, but still couldn't escape and was hit from the longest distance.
The opponent's control of distance is really good.
As for Verus's attack, it wasn't too eye-catching.
Hitting a fixed target is just a basic skill for AD.
The bottom lane is not stable. After finishing the last hit, they are looking for opportunities to consume the opponent.
The only disadvantage for KT is that Shen can't help at this time.
Although Vel'Koz's hands are very long, Xerath is not bad either. In addition, there is also Varus, so in a one-on-two situation, Deft can't beat him at all.
Fortunately, Shen's sword array can block A, so he is not afraid of Verus's normal attacks, which saves Vel'Koz a lot of damage.
“Boom!”
“Axi!”
This is the third time Deft has been punished.
Just when he wanted to kill the artillery soldiers, he was immediately stopped and watched helplessly as the sports car was taken away by the soldiers.
Deft was almost furious.
For AD, the artillery soldiers are Ferraris.
Now I have lost a Ferrari. If you round it up, damn, the loss is over 100 million!
What made him most uncomfortable was not this, but Xerath's dizziness, which he couldn't avoid at all.
No matter how you move, the opponent's attack follows you like a shadow and is bound to hit.
It's even more outrageous than cheating.
And compared with the beginning, Xerath didn’t have nothing to do after he fainted.
After Xerath, who was already level 2, stunned Vel'Koz, he connected with a W Energy Seat in seconds.
Furthermore, this seat of energy exploded under Deft's feet, but it accurately avoided the minions on one side without pushing the lane at all.
Then after Ah Shui followed up with an arrow, there came a rain of evil spirit arrows.
After Deft is decelerated, output begins.
Mata on the side quickly opened the sword formation, protecting Deft and retreating.
“This set of combos is so smooth!”
Looking at the simple consecutive E to freeze Deft, now it is a direct EW small combo, combined with Ah Shui, all of a sudden Deft was crippled.
With Vel'Koz's health, he simply didn't dare to move forward at this time.
Although he took the blood bottle and was slowly recovering, it was obvious that he had no way to deal with the two IG bottom laners at this time.
Ve'Koz has long hands, that's right!
But Xerath is also very long!
Vy'Koz's burst is high, and Xerath is also high.
The most important thing is Deft’s skill hit rate, which is not at the same level as simplicity.
E, which is bound to hit, leaves Deft with no room for maneuver.
After being stunned, subsequent damage is inevitable.
