"I long for a worthy opponent——"
With a cold and sharp female voice, the figure of the Peerless Swordswoman appeared in the center of the big screen.
In the current version, Wushuang Swordsman is not suitable for the mid laner and jungle positions. If you select her, you can definitely be a top lane hero.
“Show the sword directly!”
“Very much like Brother Tian!”
While Hao Kai praised the hero, he also analyzed the strength of the hero from the side: "Urgot was developed during the playoffs. During the S8 qualifying period, he scored 95.3% Ban/Pick rate and 64.7% winning rate. His performance was better than Ah The three heroes that were reworked this year, Kali, Sword Girl, and Sword Demon, are much better. Although Sword Girl has been strengthened in the 8.17 and 8.19 versions, the degree of enhancement is actually not large."
"Yes. "In this way," Rita collected information about the top laner before the game: "Jian Ji's second stage E damage and passive blood regeneration have only improved a little. Rank and performance on the field have not improved significantly. A few days ago, Faker filled in the rankings. On the top lane, I used Sword Princess to meet Urgot. During the laning period, I was quite passive. Of course, Faker is a mid laner, so filling up to the top lane is not particularly valuable, but Sword Princess needs to go around to break open holes, and it is easy to get full of Urgot. Gart's passive [Echoing Flames]"
"Urgot has to fight other heroes by himself. When fighting Sword Girl, just stand still. Sword Girl will be fully automatic," Hao Kai said. Very meaningful.
【? ? ? ? 】
【Driving, right? 】
[Brother doesn’t need to move, sister is fully automatic? 】
【What kind of tiger and wolf words】
【I think Hao Kai also wants to date Rita on the gaming chair】
There was a burst of ridicule in the barrage.
As for the difference in hero strength, the audience actually doesn’t care much.
The European and American divisions have been labeled "rookies" in the past few seasons. Even though Riot has buffed Europe and the United States through version updates time and time again, it was eventually picked by the LCK.
Even though the European Rabbids MSF once forced the SKT team into a desperate situation last year, the audience's impression of the European and American teams did not change much.
After all, compared to a team of Crazy Rabbits, the two No. 1 seeds, T Konglong and G Shenbing, left the field hand in hand, leaving more laughter for the audience.
What's more, VIT only brought a little trouble to KT in the opening game. When it entered the team battle, it collapsed immediately. The strength shown was only in the middle and lower reaches among the 16 teams in the main competition. EDG's own strength is considered to be in the middle of the pack. After inviting Ye Tian out, everyone has to admit that EDG's strength is guaranteed to be in the first tier with no ceiling.
This can be seen from EDG’s subsequent choices.
VIT took out a lineup of top laner Urgot, jungle jungler Barrel, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Kai'Sa + Japanese girl, and wanted to use sufficient team control to superimpose passive [Plasma] layers on Kai'Sa. Make up for your own shortcomings in team fighting.
EDG uses top laner Jian Ji, jungler Rock Bird, mid laner Galio, and bottom lane Lucian + Lao Niu. Judging from the attitude of choosing heroes in the top and bottom lanes, we know that EDG is not very good at picking heroes. VIT takes it to heart - didn't you see that bastard Iboy starting to attack?
“One thing is actually quite strange.”
Hao Kai discovered something very interesting: “From the summer regular season to the playoffs, and then to the final bubble game , we all say that EDG mainly relies on the mid and bottom lanes to carry, but when it comes to the World Championship, we subconsciously feel that EDG needs to have some functional heroes in the mid and bottom lanes."
"Brother Youtian is here, and the rest. You can adopt a relatively stable play style in the position, which can greatly increase the winning rate." Rita spoke very skillfully: "Entering the Summoner's Rift, the sound of cheering for EDG once again rang out, as if we were in our own place. ”
"It sounds no different from Zhengda Plaza." Hao Kai used an exaggerated description: "Iboy met Kai'Sa in the bottom river. He used his W skill to explode, but unfortunately he couldn't get his A."
Stuck. Lisa exposed her position.
Scout, Meiko, and Karsa played a careful trick.
——Meiko stood in ambush in the grass in the middle of the river. Karsa got into the grass close to the terrain. The two of them took their positions. Scout walked into the river in front of Clockwork and deceived the VIT assistant. The female and jungler Jiugong came to double-team.
VIT is a low-ranking team. When they see an opportunity, they naturally want to take a gamble.
Japanese girl stopped Socut from the other side and hit AQ combo at close range, triggering the aftershock cornerstone talent. However, Meiko, Karsa, and iboy VIT other heroes before them, forming a counter-double team against Japanese girl.
Rinu was shocked and could only dodge Lao Niu's Q [Earth Shatter].
“Beautiful!”
“The bottom lane is ahead by a summoner skill!”
Hao Kai applauded: “EDG chose Lucian + Lao Niu in the bottom lane, which is obviously a must. It put pressure on Kai’Sa during the laning period, and now there is an extra flash in the auxiliary position. In the first five minutes, EDG has an absolute advantage in the bottom lane.”
The flash of the soft assistant is relatively unimportant. If it is not targeted by the jungler, there will basically be no difference.
Hard assistance is different.
Especially in 2v2 against a hard assist who is at a disadvantage.
As a hard support, you definitely cannot stand behind the AD hero and watch the show all the time. When necessary, you must step up to threaten the opponent's AD and create output space for your own AD.
In the absence of flash, and the 2v2 confrontation is still unwinnable, it is easy for the Japanese girl to push up and not come back. If not, Kai'Sa will definitely be defeated by Lucian and the unscrupulous Lao Niu. Pressed to the point of being out of breath.
At this time.
Colonel KI, who knows how to poison milk in almost every game, gave an analysis of the winning rate based on the lineup of this game.
VIT’s theoretical winning rate is 57%, and EDG’s theoretical winning rate is 43%.
【Colonel, you have started】
【Exercise power and power】
[Press the colonel in the opposite direction and eat the chicken nuggets to the max]
[EDG has a 43% winning rate, 4+3 equals 7. Do you know who will win? 】
[EDG’s actual winning rate is 43.96%]
[Thank you, Colonel]
“Colonel is still the same as always.”
Hao Kai tried hard not to laugh: "Let's see how the junglers of both sides are going to farm...Karsa starts in the top half, letting Iboy and Meiko maximize their advantages in heroes and skills. The VIT team's wine barrel starts in the bottom half. EDG's bottom lane is just right for ambush in the triangle grass! "
The female Kai'Sa walked step by step that day, and when she was about to enter the grass, Iboy used W point + basic attack to trigger a strong attack, and Meiko launched an AQ combo! , the ignition was directly attached to the Japanese girl, not only forcing Kaisha to use healing skills to protect the auxiliary, but also forcing the wine barrel that was about to be brushed upward.
The Japanese girl was suppressed to the point where her health was reduced, but she could not go home to replenish her supplies.
Because Lao Niu and Lucian are very capable of jumping towers, as long as the Japanese girl dares to leave, there is a high probability that Kai'Sa will be killed without treatment.
The Japanese girl could only drink up the two bottles of red potion on her body, and then secretly used her salary to install a last-minute hit to restore health.
With such a huge advantage in the bottom lane, Karsa naturally used his brain. After defeating the red buff and F6 alone, he walked along the jungle area to the lower half of the river. He just happened to catch the wine barrel that was attacking the canyon swift crab. With the help of the middle , the faster support speed of the next two lanes drove the wine barrel away and grabbed the swift crab.
“Brother Tian, do you think I’m going to kill you?”
Iboy proudly communicated in the team voice: “I feel like I’m killing you faster than you this time.”
“No,” Ye Tian refused on the spot. "Huh? No, don't watch anything...I didn't mean that!" Iboy reacted immediately: "I mean my record in this game will be very bad!"
"Don't even look at that." Ye Tian was talking, exchanging blood with Urgot, and Q [Breaking Slash] rushed forward to break a flaw.
However.
This kind of blood exchange is destined to lose money.
The reason why Urgot was so popular in the S8 season is because the shield has not been moved from W [Purge] to E [Despise]. During the laning period, firing W can be used to shoot quickly, and you can also gain The shield that resists damage is a single skill that takes care of both aspects.
The E skill is left in the hand and is not used. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend. It is completely different from Urgot, who has been revised again in the S9 season and has no shield if he does not hand over E. He will easily lose his life if he hands over E.
As for the issue that the CD of Urgot's W skill is much longer than that of Sword Girl's Q... In the early stage of the game, Urgot can firmly control the lane with passive AOE. With Sword Girl's current strength, Urgot can fight Urgot against the line of troops. It's hard to have a chance of winning. In addition, Urgot's cornerstone rune is a powerful attack that can be triggered three times, and Ye Tian's cornerstone rune is a conqueror that can only be triggered four seconds into the battle. This creates another gap.
Not long after reaching level two, there was a one-third health gap on the road.
Urgot is the leader.
“I feel comfortable.”
“I just can’t stand how crazy he is.”
Letme was watching the live broadcast in the RNG training room: "Huan Jian Ji fights Urgot? What's the use of Jian Ji's enhanced attributes? Let's find out about the 0% winning rate in the playoffs."
"Can't even beat the European and American top laners? , not to mention anything else." Xiaohu smiled happily: "The heroes he had last year were not suitable for the current environment. Although he has trained Akali, Sword Demon, and Sword Girl this year, these three are still there. They can all play in the mid lane, and everyone will definitely be able to deal with the ban and grab, and they won’t be unable to deal with his hero like last year.”
“What if he uses Thain?” Ming Shiyin obviously mocked.
"Use it, let him use it! Orn, let him use it too!" Letme patted her chest: "If he uses one, I will use the other. See if he can kill me."
"When others praise him, he really thinks he is the Greatest Generation." UZI snorted coldly.
The reason why RNG and his team dare to be so arrogant is not only the confidence brought by winning the German Cup to the summer finals, but the more important point is the environment of the S8 season.
On the surface, the number of heroes that appeared in the S8 qualifying stage is 74, creating a record high. It seems to be a version where a hundred flowers bloom.
But this "letting a hundred flowers bloom" is reflected in the bottom lane that can use mage heroes, the middle lane that can use warrior heroes, as well as the support and jungler according to the lineup, and has nothing to do with the top lane!
On the road, in addition to Akali, Sword Demon, and Sword Girl, there are two unfinished heroes, Thain and Ornn, and the new favorite Urgot - this still takes into account Ye Tian's personal level. , except for Ye Tian, others can't even use Akali and Dao Mei very well.
Furthermore, Sword Demon, Thane, Ornn, and Urgot do not have the ability to thread.
Ye Tian used Sword Demon in the Asian Games finals to fight against Kiin, who was being manipulated. During the laning, the economic gap was not too big. The RNG team sitting on Letme, the equal of all beings, is still afraid of Ye Tian?
Don’t forget, RNG is the number one fighting force in the world, and Riot Games even added two new levels, G (World’s Best) and U (God), to the scoring system of this World Championship, in addition to RNG. Ranking outside the G level, even the LCK's No. 1 seed KT only stays at S+.
Before EDG asked Ye Tian to come out, they were just a B-level team!
"Yes."
Letme thought of the various scenes of being beaten by Ye Tian last year, and wanted to take revenge: "If I meet him this year...ah?! ”
Not a single sentence was finished.
Letme saw Sword Lady sliding towards Urgot.
To be precise, in this wave, Urgot used an obvious blood-draining technique - getting stuck at the node about to reach level three, throwing Q [Corrosion Charge] to blow up the sword that was finishing up. Ji, Sword Girl cannot activate her skills by moving around. Using Q [Breaking Slash] to run back will cause the skills to enter a long CD.
What I didn’t expect was that Sword Princess dared to fight back!
“Level 2 versus Level 3?”
"So brave?"
VIT top laner Cabochard certainly won't be timid.
In Europe, although Cabochard's strength is not as good as sOAZ and Wunder, and was even overshadowed by the fledgling Bwipo, he is still a very famous choice.
Use Urgot, who has a strong version, to fight a swordswoman who has been weakened many times and has a 0% game winning rate after strengthening. If you don’t dare to fight when you are ahead in level and status, just go back and recuperate. Forget it pig!
W【Purge】is on!
A translucent shield appears around Urgot's body, and he fires around with the chain gun strapped to his torso. The [Echoing Flames] on the front and sides of his legs fire fan-shaped bullets.
Response is very fast.
But.
Ye Tian's Q [Breaking Slash] did not rush into Urgot's face. Instead, he used a short Q operation to move forward a small distance, collecting the remaining health minions and avoiding Urgot's [Corrosion] Charge] and made a fake move at the same time, deceiving Urgot W out.
Cabochard frowned slightly, feeling unhappy about being teased. He turned on the all-out troop clearing mode on the spot, wanting to send his troops to the Sword Queen's tower as soon as possible so that the Sword Queen would lose her development.
But.
Cabochard ignored a problem.
The fan-shaped bullets will affect the Sword Princess and put the Sword Princess into a fighting state!
Ye Tian waited for his Q [Breaking Slash] to turn around, burst out, rushed to Urgot with the minions, smashed the flaw with his sword, and the normal attack that followed him automatically knocked [Conqueror] Cornerstone rune triggers.
Attack power is increased by 12 points, and 20% of the pre-tax damage is converted into real values.
Urgot did not encounter Sword Lady during this period, and his W skill was on CD. He had to hit A three times in a row to activate [Strong Attack]. For Urgot with an attack speed of 0.66, three hits equaled the duration of A (the interval between two attacks). More than three seconds!
Within three seconds, even though Urgot was ahead in level, his attributes were lagging behind Sword Lady!
Cabochard realized that something was wrong and wanted to rely on the larger number of ranged soldiers around him to try to fight back. After being slashed three times by Ye Tian, he realized that he could not beat him and hurriedly ran to the bottom of the tower.
When he was still a short distance away from the defense tower, Cabochard looked at the HP of less than 200 and the Sword Lady chasing behind him, and pressed E [Despise] to move.
However.
This is the moment Ye Tian has been waiting for!
Urgot's E skill is divided into two stages: reading and sprinting. During the reading period, you can use flash to change the position to achieve the effect of E flash extending the distance or speeding up the effective time of the judgment.
When entering the sprint phase, the flash will turn gray and unavailable, and will not light up again until the end of the sprint.
After briefly accumulating strength, Urgot rushed towards the foot of his tower, dragging a deep mark on the ground with his six legs.
The golden light suddenly flashed.
The Peerless Swordswoman intercepted Urgot right in front of her.
W【Laurent's Heart-Eye Knife】charge up!
Zheng——
The sound of metal clang could be heard, and the Sword Princess's seemingly delicate body was as stable as a mountain in front of Urgot's powerful force. The orange-red sword energy stabbed out, killing Urgot. Very dizzy in the middle!
Basic attack!
Q [Breaking Sky Slash]!
The Peerless Swordswoman slid to the side, and the Western sword tip lightly poked Urgot's body, picking apart the newly refreshed flaw, and then turned around and retreated gracefully.
Only one leisurely line is left.
——"I have no opponent." (End of this chapter)
