Chapter 333 IG: Stand up, don’t kneel! (2-in-1)
The next day, the semi-finals of the other half of MSI also started.
KZ plays against FW. The two teams are very close in strength. It should have been an anxious battle similar to cute girls pulling out each other’s hair.
Unexpectedly, KZ prepared a secret weapon and stole two chickens from FW, causing FW to be pushed to the edge of the cliff.
And what is the secret weapon?
Answer: AP Kai’Sa!
Although FW saw An Yi use it once yesterday, because the MSI schedule was tighter than An Yi, there was no time to respond.
With the terrifying passive damage value of AP Kai'Sa and the Korean operation strategy that is extremely suitable for the development of LCK's bottom lane, KZ's AD player Pray won the second consecutive MVP.
Of course, it must be said that the output modes of AP Kai'Sa and AD Kai'Sa are very similar now, which is why Pray picked up so quickly.
In this way, FW, which had suffered three match points, could not bear the heavy pressure. After forcing a comeback, it finally lost to KZ 1:3.
When Wanwan's commentator cried out, "Flash Wolf is down," everyone finally realized that KZ's tactics were so familiar.
It doesn’t matter if you have AP Kai’Sa. In the third and fourth rounds without Kai’Sa, KZ also selected an auxiliary scarecrow.
This BP is no longer trying to cross the river by touching An Yi, this is clearly a direct move to IG without any modifications.
Barrage:
“Damn it! There’s a thief!”
"I thought Sister Benzi was doing everything yesterday, but I didn't expect that Sister Benzi's tactics were so awesome. She killed everyone randomly!"
"Brother, didn't you play ranked? The bot lane has been going crazy since yesterday. It’s either AP Kai’Sa or auxiliary Scarecrow.”
“It’s not a shame. Playing auxiliary Scarecrow has gone from platinum to diamond, and is ready to hit the master.”
“Okay. Ah! Others come to MSI to compete, Sister Benzi, you come to teach!”
“What is a tactician?”
Fans are proud that Aki's tactics are recognized.
I thought KZ would say a word of thanks, after all, this was blatantly copying IG’s tactics.
Unexpectedly, when entering the interview session, Pray’s answer was surprising.
Host: "Today, when the FW team blocked your EZ, your Kai'Sa performance was extremely impressive."
"Many viewers will compare your performance with tomorrow's Compared with your opponent Anyi’s Kai’Sa, how do you personally evaluate Anyi’s player? And how do you evaluate yourself?”
Pray: "Anyi is indeed a very powerful AD player, but I am confident that I can defeat her."
Then the boy smiled: "As for Kai'Sa, I think my Kai'Sa should be this hero. He is the strongest at this year’s MSI. At least in terms of using this hero, I don’t think I will lose to others.”
Host: “Then today you used the AP Kai’Sa style created by player Anyi. What do you think of this new routine? "
Pray: "I don't think AP Kai'Sa will perform very well when the opponent's front row is insufficient."
"And there are a lot of them. In this case, the effect that AP Kai'Sa can achieve can also be achieved by AD Kai'Sa. In summary, I think AP Kai'Sa is still slightly weaker."
Seeing their own players seriously commenting on their opponents, the KZ fans in the audience immediately cheered.
This just makes LPL fans unhappy.
"Huh? If I remember correctly, this guy has never defeated Sister Benzi once, is he so crazy?"
"The key to winning or not is who is the strongest Kai'Sa in your mind? No points!”
“Don’t forget the well digger when you drink water. You said AP Kai’Sa is weak. You want to play AD Kai’Sa C and you said this is okay. You copy sister’s AP card. How can you say it when Sha wins?”
"Well, can I also copy Sister Zi?"
"???"
"Waiting for a slap in the face!"
As for AD Kai'Sa and AP The debate over who is stronger and weaker in Ka'Sa has been buzzing on the Internet.
LCK fans have always sided with the traditional ADC they are proud of.
LPL fans are the heterogeneous ADCs who can produce various magical effects by siding with each other.
The two sides used the two top teams KZ and IG as their positions respectively, and began to exchange words in the air before the game. This is also a must-have program before every China-South Korea war.
And Aki just glanced at the rhythm of the Internet, and he was completely confused: What did I do again?
But soon, the official results were given.
How to give the result?
Answer: Cut Anyi!
League of Legends official: In view of the recent popularity of AP Kai'Sa who is wreaking havoc on the bottom lane, we will make the following adjustments during emergency maintenance in three days.
Increase Kai'Sa's W Void Search enemy AP multiplier to 60%.
The audience thought the designer was crazy. AP Kai’Sa is so strong, why should he be strengthened?
Just when LCK fans wanted to use this to prove that AP Kai'Sa is too weak, they saw the following surprising change.
Kai'Sa's passive 'Surface Active' basic AP damage is weakened, and the AP damage multiplier is adjusted from 0.2~0.4 to 0.1~0.2.
The highest respect in the universe is to kill everyone. The designer actually cut Kai'Sa's passive multiplier in half.
After watching this, LPL fans didn’t know whether to cry or laugh:
“Classic, the designer teaches you how to play the game!”
“You say AP Kai’Sa is weak What? Get out of the queue! Are you going to cut it in half?”
"This is the gold content of Sister Benzi. The alliance does not dare to wait until the version is updated, and directly applies hot patches to modify it!"
"Sister Benzi is really like the king of hell. Whoever plays will be weakened!"
>"From the incense burner equipment to the hero Kai'Sa, I don't know how many times, this is the first time the league has targeted a player like this."
Now LCK fans are speechless, the official will tell you personally, AP Kai'Sa is so strong!
They were speechless, except for the words "See you on the field."
LPL fans are most happy to hear this sentence, because their substitute watch in the game is .IG! ! !
Unlike EDG, which has never been disappointing, IG has never been disappointing.
With the expectations of fans from both sides, this final battle is about to take place!
May 20th.
Paris Zenith Arena!
Today is the battle at the top of the mountain at MSI, so as soon as the venue opened, the entire arena was filled with spectators.
The live camera scanned the parade, and the audience's faces were filled with excited smiles, waving the team flags in their hands and shouting loudly.
The audience in the live broadcast room also filled the screen with "Go IG!" ’.
In such an exciting environment, the countdown to the finals is also going on on the big screen on the main stage.
10, 9, 8
The audience counted together, and when the number reached zero, the pure music full of epic feeling sounded.
Accompanied by the rhythm, the entire studio staged a gorgeous light show.
At the same time, replays of previous MSI champions are also being played on the big screen.
The excited voice of the commentary pushed the entire venue to a climax.
When the atmosphere of the scene reached its peak, the music rose again, and at the same time two spotlights were directed towards the entrance passage.
The scene immediately heard exclamations of ‘Ohhh’!
Because the KZ team and the IG team have already walked out of the left and right channels respectively.
The audience on both sides of the channel immediately stretched out their hands to high-five, and the players from both sides also opened their arms to high-five the audience in celebration.
When An Yi looked at the expectant eyes, he suddenly saw Ruoxi smiling and reaching out to her.
An Yi naturally shook his hand, then looked forward again, and stepped onto the stage with his head held high.
The two teams lined up across the championship trophy in the center of the stage.
The host's voice also came later: "Welcome to the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Champions Cup finals."
"The person standing next to me now is the one who is about to compete for the final championship. Two teams, they are"
"KingZoneDragonX!"Top lane: Khan! Jungler: Bdd! Support: Gorilla! Sin!”
The audience immediately responded with cheers: "KZ! KZ! KZ!"
Then the host continued to introduce: "And Invictus Gaming!"
"Top laner: Theshy! Jungler: Ning! Mid laner: Anyi! Coach: Kkoma! Substitute: Jackeylove! "Then more intense cheers came: IG! "
As the competitive atmosphere on the scene became more and more intense, a pre-match promotional video was also inserted.
The first is the KZ team, which stood in front of the Louvre and issued a declaration like a winner.
“In previous MSIs, except for EDG who won the championship once, all other trophies were won by LCK, and I believe this time is no exception.”
This sentence can be said to be true. It hit the pain point in the hearts of countless LPL fans, but fortunately this time it is different.
Because then everyone on IG stood still under the Eiffel Tower, giving the audience unlimited confidence.
At the same time, a hot woman's voice also came: "In the past, LCK was a dark cloud that shackles the sky of the LPL competition area, but that is already the past, and this time we will open it with our own hands again!"< br>
At this time, the song "Kaitian" played as the background music for IG's appearance, which fit perfectly with Aki's pre-match speech.
The Chinese style music is exciting, and I feel a sense of intimacy that comes from my blood.
At the same time, scenes of IG competing for teams in various divisions were playing in the background.
"For whom is the sound of "Open Sky" ringing! A lonely army in white robes is crossing the river!"
""Open Sky"! Today my IG will tear apart the sky full of LCK! ”
"13-1 against LCK! The record can be checked! The foreign war fantasy god!"
"Sure enough, only the team that enters the battlefield in the outer division can be called the strongest!"
The audience is excited , looking at the stage again, IG and KZ teams were already seated in the competition seats.
Everyone in KZ has already watched the promotional video in advance.
Although they admitted that they had some references to the LPL region in the promotional video, it was a bit of a suppression.
But I didn’t expect IG’s response to be so strong. When did the LPL region’s spine become so straight?
If any audience hears what they are thinking, they will definitely reply: Because IG told us, stand up and don’t kneel!
But to reach this point, KZ is not a vegetarian, especially in terms of psychological quality.
Even Peanut can tease Pray at this point: "Yesterday's interview said that you are the strongest Kai'Sa, today you can prove yourself."
However, Pray also defeated FW yesterday. This powerful enemy's back was so excited that he never expected that it would cause such a big rhythm and fly back like a boomerang.
However, he was still confident that he would throw away water when he said it: "If I can grab Kai'Sa, I will tell you with my actions."
No one doubted this, because they Even if he doubted Pray, he would not doubt Aki's tactics.
No matter what the online rhythm is, after in-depth understanding, they are sure that AP Kai'Sa is really too strong!
Even the analysts are a little regretful why they didn't discover this hero earlier, otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult before.
So coach Sin took the initiative: "We will grab Kai'Sa, but Pray, you have to be careful not to be affected by your remarks yesterday and blindly use AD. Use AP when it's time to use AP."
Hearing the sound, Pray was startled, remembering his words yesterday when he questioned AP Kaisha.
Then he nodded: "Don't worry, coach, the game is the most important, I can still handle it clearly."
Furthermore, he also had something to say.
Even if you play AP Kai'Sa after belittling AP Kai'Sa, you will be ridiculed.
But as long as he wins, he can say that the interview is just a smoke bomb.
After all, who can tell the truth in an interview? Can what I say in the interview be true to my heart?
Anyi: Meow meow meow?
So in order to achieve the goal of grabbing Kai'Sa, KZ specially chose the blue side.
Anyway, even if I couldn’t grab it, I couldn’t let it go to An Yi.
Obviously even though Pray said that he was the strongest Kai'Sa, KZ knew in his heart that Anyi was the Kai'Sa that he could not mess with.
But fortunately, as long as Anyi can't choose, then the title of the strongest Kai'Sa is just a false name.
KZ values this hero so much, and IG is also paying attention to this.
Kkoma pointed out: "Yesterday Pray performed very well with two AP Kai'Sa. We are on the red side and Kai'Sa cannot grab it. Do we want to move?"
Aki shook his head. : "No need, coach, do you know why Kai'Sa's AP is so good?"
The coach asked: "Why?"
An Yi bluntly said: "Because the current version of ADC is not good."
Everyone on IG widened their eyes after hearing this. Players who played ADC said that ADC was not good but it was okay.
But Aki is just stating the facts. After all, the only reason why ADC can still be the mainstream is that the flag of command has not been weakened. And once Banner of Command's magic damage immunity is cut off, it will be the last straw for the ADC.
But now the Flag of Command has not been cut, and the opponent is determined to play APC Kai'Sa.
So Aki smiled sinisterly: "Coach, I think we can bring one."
Kkoma understood Aki's slang: "You mean to use that core lineup?"
Aki nodded: "Yes, you can also play ADC. Although the effect is not obvious, the effect will be obvious if you change the hero in the bottom lane."
Knowing that in a Bo5 game, if you want to make a surprise move, you have to be in the first place. The game disrupted the opponent's BP.
In addition, the training results are indeed good, Kkoma agreed: "Choose! It's up to you!"
Although this seems very unassertive, she is An Yi!
And 'this lineup' was originally Anyi's lineup to deal with the bot lane core in the summer split, but I didn't expect it to be used now.
Even so, there is no need to say more, just do it!
While both sides are preparing, the commentators have also appeared.
Doll: "Welcome to the 2018 League of Legends Mid-Season Champions League Finals, I am the commentator Doll!"
Miller: "I am Miller, the commentator!"
Guan Zeyuan: "I am Guan Zeyuan, the commentator!"
The classic 'We Three'!
After the oral broadcast started, several people got to the point.
Guan Zeyuan: "IG's final is also the one that everyone is most concerned about. We can boldly predict the result before the game."
Miller hurriedly stopped him: "Just predict the two of us. Just listen to Teacher Guan. I have everything I need to say in my heart."
After Shan guarded Guan Zeyuan, he continued: "You Let me predict, I think IG3:1KZ.”
Guan Zeyuan: “3:1?”
Wai is sure: “I will be more aggressive, IG3:0KZ.”
Guan Zeyuan wanted to be neutral: "From the perspective of strength, it shouldn't be such a disparity."
Miller was determined: "I don't think KZ is qualified to say that from the perspective of strength, including the World Championship, KZ was beaten 0-5 by IG."
After hearing the barrage, he was amazed:
"When did Miller become so explosive? Didn't he like He Xini the most before?"
"It's okay to be with He Xini when he didn't have the strength. Who will follow you and Xini when he has the strength!" It has to explode!”
“It’s a pity that KZ is playing instead of Samsung, otherwise I really want to see Guan Zeyuan’s attitude.”
"Tsk, tsk, then why don't you think about why Guan Zeyuan hasn't won a single championship from Samsung since he became a fan of Samsung."
"Holy shit! I seem to have discovered some big secret! Well done, Guan Gou!"
Everyone said something to each other, but Miller finally said back: "But! I have to say one thing, IG has to be careful about one thing, and that is Kai'Sa!"
Guan Zeyuan Caught: "Oh? You mean, you believe Pary's interview yesterday and think Aki Kasha is not as good as him."
Seeing that his partner was about to give him a big pace, Miller hurriedly said: "You This is wrong. In my opinion, Aki’s Kai’Sa is unique and no one can surpass it!”
"IG's Kai'Sa, I default to being moved, or do you think KZ will release it? But IG may release KZ's Kai'Sa, especially KZ on the blue side."
"And this kind of Under the circumstances, the designers were anxious to weaken Aki’s AP Kai’Sa overnight. You said it might be a bit dangerous to let KZ pick it.”
Wawa affirmed: “It’s true that it was difficult at FW yesterday. Deal with Kai'Sa. This hero only has so many AP points. If it's not easy to deal with, just move it out."
But Guan Zeyuan suddenly said: "By the way, have you forgotten Gemstone Qin Nu? Lesson learned.”
“FW once copied IG’s Gem Qin Girl and used it to fight IG. I won’t say much about the result.”
1533!
And Guan Zeyuan continued: "So how can you be sure that you don't know how to fight the AP Kai'Sa developed by Anyi?"
A few words to wake up the dreamer, Soon they discovered that they had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Anyi's AP Kai'Sa is very strong, which means that she is very familiar with the characteristics of AP Kai'Sa, and is so familiar with it that she can clearly feel every G-spot.
Look at it this way:
"Guan Gou is right, I'm suddenly looking forward to Aki using strange things to beat AP Kai'Sa!"
"What if Kai'Sa is not AP? Yesterday Pray said it himself, he thinks AD card Sha is even more powerful. Isn’t it a slap in the face to have AP now?”
“Do you think the reputation is more important or the championship?”
Everyone is guessing, but their eyes are all the same. Staring at the players on both sides, trying to figure out something.
Everyone felt relieved when they noticed the smile on An Yi's face.
Because they understand! This woman has confidence!
So in response to fans’ expectations, the BP interface was given.
Miller took over: "A good BP has begun. Let us wait and see what strategies IG has to deal with it."
"In terms of moving people, KZ took the lead as the blue side. The ones that were removed were Scarecrow, Luo, and Vampire. The Scarecrow can be moved, and it must be said that Anyi’s deterrence is.”
Guan Zeyuan: “The ones IG chose to remove were Morgana, Male Gun, Niutou, Kai’Sa is empty, is IG a bit too generous?”
Such a strange move made KZ a little confused.
They instinctively suspected that there was a conspiracy, but no matter what, they had to choose if Kai'Sa was released, otherwise IG would choose.
So KZ grabbed Kai'Sa and got it.
It was IG's turn. The first hand was to lock a Sword Girl, and then the second hand was to pick up a Troll.
It’s Rookie’s warrior sword girl again. IG is very fond of doing this recently.
When it was KZ's turn, they first selected mid laner Zoe.
During their use, they found that this hero worked well with AP Kai’Sa to poke, and the top laner quickly chose an Ornn.
Obviously, KZ is planning to play Kai'Sa as its core.
When it was IG’s third hand, everyone thought it was an EZ.
But I didn’t expect that IG would directly show Shen.
Miller: "Eye of Twilight? Is this used to defeat Ornn?"
Wawa: "But in this case, is there a chopper team in the top half of IG, and if there is no AD, KZ may be It’s time to move.”
Guan Zeyuan said based on experience: “I think IG may want KZ to move AD.”
“Because when IG doesn’t choose AD in the first three moves, There is a high probability that I won’t choose AD in this game.”
How to play the game without choosing AD?
But thinking that this is IG, everyone feels that there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Looking at IG, I feel like a troll, a knife girl, and a shen.
When these three strong warriors were selected, Pray’s face turned crooked with a smile.
Isn’t this what Chunchun ordered for AP Kai’Sa!
Entering the second round of transfers, IG successively removed Feng Nu and Karma, two supports that were suitable for Kai'Sa.
KZ removed the two long-hand ADs of EZ and Policewoman to prevent Kai'Sa from having any problems in the lane.
Then IG selected someone again and locked an alchemist.
The commentator is even more confused.
Miller: "Which path does this alchemy take?"
KZ also wondered: Yes, which path does this alchemy take?
And IG's unconventional play has made KZ completely unpredictable.
Only based on the lineup, protection support Braum and jungler Xin Zhao can be selected to make up for AD damage.
Then it’s time to see IG’s last move.
This must have an AD or magic core.
But IG had already thought about it and quickly locked in a hero that no one would have thought of.
Weapon Master: Let’s fight!
Guan Zeyuan: "Weapon masters are here! What the hell!"
Miller: "AP Kai'Sa likes to play in the front row, I will choose five for you The front row comes out, the damage is coming!"
The barrage is also anxious:
"Children, do you have a lot of '?'"
"Holy shit! Sister Benzi, please don't let your guard down at this time. How can this lineup compete with the opponent!"
"Who should I play, Sister Benzi? They all seem to be in the front row with short hands. I can't even imagine it." How cool would it be to have Kai’Sa shoot Benzi?”
“I don’t believe it, unless you let me shoot too!”
“I just want to know how IG’s lineup is divided. . ”
And soon, with the exchange of heroes, IG completed the split.
KZ (blue side) vs. IG (red side)
Top lane: Khan (Flame of the Mountain Hidden) vs. Theshy (Alchemist)
Jungle: Peanut (German General Manager) vs. Ning (Troll King)
Mid lane: Bdd (Twilight Celestial Spirit) vs. Rookie (Blade Dancer)
Bottom lane: Pray (Daughter of the Void) vs. Anyi (Weapon Master)< br>
Support: Gorilla (Heart of the Freljord) vs. Baolan (Eye of Twilight)
The hero exchange was completed, and everyone at IG was made to laugh by themselves, because this lineup was indeed a bit different.
But as long as it is equipped with three pieces of equipment, this lineup will be the real father of the bottom lane magic core!
And those three pieces of equipment are the flags of command! Flag of command! Flag of command!
It’s not about saying important things three times, but from the beginning, IG planned to issue three flags of command.
An Yi: Don’t you AP Kai’Sa like to be in the front row? Come! You sign with him! (Shoot the Flag of Command gun carriage)
You must know that the Flag of Command has not been weakened yet, and it has absolute spell immunity.
This means that as long as Kai'Sa dares to use AP in KZ at this time, it will be very interesting!
Because at that time, only one Xin Zhao in the KZ team can click the Flag of Command to strengthen the artillery carriage, and the others cannot click it at all.
The core of this lineup is the three-way lead, using the flag of command to kill the opponent.
Group play? Who will play with you?
Three teleportations: Alchemy, Sword Girl, and Weapon.
Alchemy and Poison cannot be defeated against the opponent, but no one can beat the Weapon and Sword Girl alone.
Catch a single belt?
As long as KZ dares to catch it, it will either use two teleports + Shen and a big move to support, or it will directly lose resources, because IG has absolute line power.
Absolutely! right!
After all, Alchemy is on the road to fight Ornn, and Ornn is not qualified to grab the lane.
The sword girl in the middle beats Zoe, but Zoe is not qualified to grab the line.
Bot lane weapons + be careful against Kai’Sa, not to mention.
Some people may not understand that in 2018, ADC has gradually become weaker, and the bottom lane has become a "big stage in the bottom lane, you can come to AD in seconds" situation.
It was also at that time that warrior heroes such as Tetsuo, Noshou, Crocodile, Sword Girl, and Yasuo frequently appeared in the bottom lane.
The Weapon Master is one of the best, and has even appeared in the professional arena many times.
His signature skill is to bully AD who has no displacement or is weak.
Coupled with Niutou or Shen, the second level double jump will hit a flash in the face, and the third level will kill the opponent if they don't move away.
Fight back? How does the ADC fight back with weapons?
Use E to block for two seconds and then stun for one second. Use W to block again.
The ADC couldn't change his hand within five seconds of going up, so he could only watch, and was beaten to the point of running away with his head in his arms.
Not to mention that Kai'Sa's support is still a Braum. Even if Aki is marked, due to the dodge and block effects of the weapon and Shen, he can't even shoot, and he can't be stunned at all.
As for AP Kai'Sa being very strong in the later stage
It's a pity that Kai'Sa has no late stage in front of IG's lineup.
Because let’s not talk about whether IG can fight with all lanes, even if there is a fight with Sword Girl + weapons, Kai’Sa will definitely get angry.
Two tough men flanked one person, let alone Kasha, even Aki couldn't bear it. (Yes)
Besides, these two people are both ADC’s father and mother, they are sure to die!
Even if he can't jump to death, there is an alchemist who is eyeing him at any time, and Kai'Sa still has to weigh whether he dares to attack someone.
Furthermore, don’t forget that the Weapon Master himself is a very strong C position in the later stage.
And this is the 'macho combination' that all mages and ADs hated the most in the 2018 Summer Split.
That is, a single-band formation with the Flag of Command consisting of five warriors or tanks!
To fight AD, use Nuo Hand Weapon, and to fight Mage, use Iron Man Big Bug.
Three command flags are complete, four command flags directly end the game!
An Yi: It’s time for the regular bottom lane to feel fear! Jie Jie Jie!
(End of this chapter)
