The atmosphere in the WE lounge was a bit depressing.
Coach Hongmi didn’t know what to say at this time.
A grassroots club like WE, which has no money to buy star players and relies entirely on youth training camps to slowly cultivate players, can achieve the current results, which has almost reached the theoretical limit.
Compared with the old overlord EDG, which is stronger and more serious, there is indeed a qualitative gap.
No matter how good Hongmi's coaching ability is, he can't cook without the rice.
Think twice.
I could only comfort and encourage the team members through the translator.
The break was over and the two teams walked down the aisle back onto the stage.
EDG took the initiative to choose the blue side and banned Shen, Jarvan, and Rat.
WE banned Skate, Jayce, and Spider.
On the first floor, EDG first locked down Xia.
The reason for grabbing Xayah instead of Rakan is that Mystic is very proficient in using Xayah, while the support Ben's performance with Rakan is relatively average. He is often robbed of points due to poor distance control, and even Mystic is forced to give up his treatment, making WE's already difficult bottom lane confrontation even worse.
Belongs to the ID.
WE can only take Luo, breaking up this bottom lane combination whose strength is second only to Skateboard Shoes, and then choose Lucian as a swing.
Unfortunately, this swing is meaningless.
EDG doesn't need to guess whether Lucian will go mid or bottom, just treat him as a mid laner.
Anyway, Mystic is not strong in laning phase, and the weird combination of Lucian + Rakan can't put too much pressure on iBoy.
After alternating selections, the lineup was determined.
Blue side: EDG
Red side: WE
Top lane: Fiora vs Kled
Jungle: Sejuani vs Lee Sin
Mid: Clockwork vs Lucian
AD: Xayah vs Ashe
Support: Janna vs Rakan
Lucian really went mid.
It's not a big problem.
Clockwork will definitely be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Lucian, but Scout can completely stabilize the line.
As for the impact of the mid lane disadvantage on the jungle... it’s not that big.
The factory manager can rely on the upper and lower lanes to guard the wild area. What's more, even if Scout is in a disadvantageous situation, he will not be unable to provide even the most basic support.
Entering Summoner's Rift, WE team chose to invade in a group at level 1.
Kled is extremely tanky at level 1, Lucian and Ashe's sustained output is more sufficient than Xayah and Clockwork, and Lee Sin also has subsequent pursuit and kills, so it is obviously impossible for EDG to engage in the battle.
The factory manager went to the red BUFF of the WE team to make an exchange.
"For WE, this is a pretty good start. Let's see if they can get into the rhythm."
"If we want to beat EDG, the mid and jungle should take the initiative."
"Because it's basically impossible for the top and bottom lanes to get anything done during the laning phase."
"No matter what the result is, WE is at least on the right track."
Miller expressed his opinion.
"But the factory director has so much experience..." Wawa didn't finish his words.
The factory manager's performance is admittedly poor, and has been declining as he gets older.
But in the jungle, the most important thing is not operation, but awareness and understanding.
There is a comment that says that the factory manager always performs the most stupid operations at the most appropriate time and place, and basically no one questions it, which fully illustrates the factory manager's current strength.
The offense is indeed lacking.
With the BUFF of killing familiar enemies, it is more than enough for him to defend against the young Condi.
The soldiers gradually advanced to the front line, and the heroes on the line also got entangled together.
Xing Dao used Fiora and faced 957's Kled. He first showed off a scripted movement.
——Use the Q skill to break the flaw and immediately move sideways to avoid Kled's counterattack [Flying Line Bear Trap].
Fiora uses her Q skill to consume the enemy's energy, keeping a certain distance between the landing point and Kled. By moving downwards in the first wave, she has a good chance of avoiding the counterattack and gaining free damage.
Because most players, including professional players, point their mouse at the hero's body instead of the judgment point under their feet, which is somewhat off-center.
Adding the two together, they can just be twisted apart.
What follows is purely a psychological game.
Xing Dao made another move and chose to go down again.
957 predicted upward, empty.
After dragging for a while, Xing Dao rushed up for the third time. 957 thought that he had gone down twice, and he should not be able to go down for the third time no matter what, so he continued to predict the [Flying Line Bear Trap] upwards.
result……
Empty again!
This scene was captured by the director's perspective.
"957 has a very strong head."
"One is to predict upwards, and the other is not to go upwards."
"No, it's so funny."
"I'm a little confused as to who is on the third floor and who is on the fifth floor."
"Top Fiora vs. top Kled goes like this."
“…”
The atmosphere of the barrage is quite cheerful.
Xing Dao turned the Warrior Sword Girl, who was originally not suitable for this version, into the main force, and her strength is beyond doubt.
957's Kled is also a popular choice and can often put in sufficiently impressive performances.
Such a situation occurred during the confrontation, and we can only say that 957 was not very lucky.
The fourth time...
957 continues to predict upwards, highlighting the principle of not turning back until you hit the wall.
After 0.3 seconds, the metal clip of the [Sling Bear Trap] finally made a crisp sound and was hung on the Sword Lady.
But at this time, 957's expression suddenly changed.
A bright blue spiral light effect floated from Fiora's body, her level increased, and her key second small skill was activated.
This skill is undoubtedly W [Laurent's Heart Eye Knife].
Xing Dao controlled the Sword Lady, moving forward step by step. After 1.5 seconds, he made a blocking action, which just offset Kled's pull and upgraded the deceleration to stun control.
Get close and break the flaws!
Get a bonus to movement speed, and attack from the back road!
When the cooldown of the Q skill [Breaking the Sky] is over, slide again to break the flaw!
The damage of Fiora with only the initial equipment is not high. After so much preparation, she can only defeat Kled.
but……
The two sides exchanged wild areas at the beginning!
Condi had no time to protect himself.
And the factory manager is likely to come out from the side and launch a powerful kill.
957 took advantage of the fact that the soldiers had not yet advanced into the defense tower, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran.
Escape all the way back to the autistic bush.
"957 is unlucky... Kled was knocked down at level one. It was too easy for him to be surpassed." Miller recalled the battle in the spring season.
All the health bonuses that Kled obtained from runes, talents, and equipment were on the big bird under his crotch, and he himself could not get any increase at all.
The first level health is 340, and the second level health is 410, which are fixed data.
It takes 5 normal attacks and a Q that hits all the way to get on the horse.
Facing strong control, you may not be able to attack, and even if you do attack, you may not hit the target. If you are avoided by flash at the critical moment, you are doomed to die.
Clearly not worth the risk.
A little experience lost can be made up slowly, but if you get killed, you will most likely have to face EDG's signature combo.
"No need to come. We can't catch him." Xing Dao gave feedback to the factory director immediately.
"Okay, I'll brush first and come back later." The factory manager responded.
"Let's be steady and don't give them any chances." Meiko gave the command.
"OK." iBoy nodded.
If you put enough pressure on the top lane and play more aggressively, it will be easy to lure the opponent's jungler to gank you, especially since WE's jungler Condi has a Lee Sin, it's impossible for him not to take the initiative.
In the middle lane, there is a Lucian and a Clockwork, and the difference in combat power is huge.
Before Lee Sin reaches level 6 and gains access to Spin Kick, he basically has no chance to GANK.
As long as there are no flaws in the bottom lane, Condi can only choose between ganking the top lane and clearing the jungle.
Brush and brush.
Look for opportunities to push the line back to the city.
iBoy directly took out an extraction, expressing his determination to farm until the end of time, and then began to control the line under the protection of Meiko, maintaining the line of troops in front of the tower.
"The biggest problem for WE against EDG is that they can't create a gap."
Miller analyzed during the dull period: "And the EDG team, you see they seem to be very good at fighting, and the speed of ending the game is the fastest in the entire LPL and even the top five leagues."
“But that’s because the individual’s ability is too strong.”
"In fact, EDG has the foundation of a veteran strong team in operation. WE, a new team, cannot operate better than them."
"Indeed... Xiye is very anxious." Wawa looked at the middle lane.
Lucian slid forward and forced a set of attacks on Clockwork, but he was hit by the three consecutive QWE attacks and the concentrated fire from the ranged minions, and did not gain much advantage.
Bottom lane.
Mystic, my brother-in-law, was also very embarrassed.
Using the W skill to consume energy will help iBoy control the line. Without W to consume energy, and occasionally sneak a move, there is no way to deal with Xia who is protected by Janna.
Look around.
Even though Condi guessed that the top lane might be a trap, he still rushed over without hesitation.
no way.
You can't just sit there with a blind monk and wait to die.
Give it a try, at least you have a chance to win.
Besides, counter-camping doesn't happen in a certain lane, it's just a way of taking a look when passing by the jungle. At most, you can realize the danger in advance and ambush directly.
It doesn't mean you can't go just because the opponent will counter-camp.
Condi moved up step by step, stepped directly on the ward, walked out of the river, and was about to attack from the side and rear.
957 also controlled Kled and took the initiative to attack.
Use EQ twice to charge forward, rush to the back of Fiora, and put on [Flying Line Bear Trap], trying to force a block first, and then kill with subsequent damage.
At the same time, it is also a test.
If Sejuani is nearby, Fiora will basically not block directly. She will most likely wait until the two of them get entangled and then counterattack at the critical moment.
Condi also kicked out a [Sound Wave].
While causing damage, it also leaves behind a second [Echo Shot] mark.
After a 1.75-second delay, Kled's [Zipline Bear Trap] pulled Fiora's body. During the process, Fiora did not resist at all and just endured the attack.
The next action is not to escape.
Instead, move towards Lee Sin.
"Forget it..." Condi didn't dare to do anything.
“Forget it, forget it, be steady.” 957 was also a little nervous.
Fiora didn't use any skills, she only had QWE, and she also had flash in her hand, so no one could guarantee her success.
It’s okay if you can’t catch it, there will be next wave.
If one or two kills were given away, the game would explode.
Condi and 957 reached an agreement and gave up the action at the same time. Kled moved away and continued to last hit, while Lee Sin returned to the river and moved towards the middle lane, preparing to replenish the vision of the key position.
At this moment, Condi entered the river and found...
A big pig head appeared in front of me!
"oops!"
Wawa shouted out: "957 and Condi thought too much. The factory manager was not there at all. They were afraid of being counter-attacked, so they didn't dare to take action, wasting a very good opportunity."
"The factory manager hit the wall and controlled Condi."
"General followed up and activated the passive of Sejuani's E!"
Pig Girl's E skill [Eternal Frozen Field] can not only be stacked through her own normal attack and W, but also the normal attacks of melee teammates can help stack.
The fourth layer of effect can be used actively to cause magic damage and a one-second stun.
The factory manager first hit, then used the AW combo to apply two layers of passive.
Xing Dao follows up with Q skill, and AE has two layers again.
Condi used his eyes to create distance, but was frozen by the ice that followed. He was a little nervous. After breaking free from the control effect, he used flash and hit the wall!
“No more.”
Miller was certain: "This wall is really too thick. Professional players often suffer losses. Condi used both of his displacement skills. There is no way he can escape."
"Pat the floor to slow down. It will only delay the time for a little while."
Xing Dao used his W skill [Laurent's Heart's Eye], which just offset the slowing effect of Lee Sin's second stage E and slowed him down by 50%.
Every swing of the sword will result in an explosion.
Move forward, breaking the flaws in the process.
Continue moving forward, blocking the retreat, then A.
Wait for the second Q skill [Breaking the Sky] to cool down, slide to the lower left, and stab out with the sword!
First Blood!
The first drop of blood breaks out!
WE jungler Condi was afraid of everything and ultimately lost due to hesitation.
“6666666——”
“66666——”
“Absolutely amazing, hahahahahaha!”
"It's okay to scare yourself."
"I'm stupid."
"Kantie really can't do anything except snatching dragons."
“I feel bad for 957.”
“…”
The barrage of comments started to appear one after another.
From WE's perspective, maybe there is nothing wrong and everything is normal.
However, when watching the game from a bird's eye view, the show effects were really too exaggerated.
It was obvious that he could have directly attacked and reduced Fiora's health to half, and even had a chance to force her to flash, but he ended up giving away a kill because of his hesitation. It was simply a criminal act.
The most important thing is.
This wave not only affected the mentality of WE fans, but also allowed Xing Dao to return to the city and take out Tiamat, gaining absolute initiative.
Without Tiamat, it is difficult for Fiora to push Kled's minion line.
It may not even be possible to push it.
After all, Kled's W has a very high burst damage, and his Q skill is AOE type damage. Fiora can only attack slowly, and she also needs to pay attention to the mana consumption when fighting.
With Tiamat, it's different.
With the lead in last hits and the 400 gold coins from the first blood, Xing Dao had more than 500 gold coins more than 957.
This meant that when Xing Dao took out 1,200 gold coins for Tiamat, 957 could only buy two longswords and completely lost the right to the top lane.
It doesn't have a big impact on the road.
It is easy for Kled to ensure his own development when facing Fiora.
But with Condi's Lee Sin, it's hard to do anything.
Before the second BUFF refreshed, the factory manager relied on assists and the experience gained near the line of soldiers to reach level 6 first and headed to the middle lane to take action!
Q flashes to predict Lucian's displacement point, and a pig head crashes into it!
The ultimate skill [Ice Prison] is connected with freezing control, and combined with Clockwork's output, it completes a successful GANK on Lucian.
All the top and middle lanes got kills.
The situation is already very favorable for EDG.
The first attribute of the little dragon was wind. After Condi got it, the second attribute that was refreshed was... earth!
Very embarrassing.
Condi is nicknamed Nicholas Dragon Emperor because he is unreasonable in stealing dragons. The problem is that when people are unaware of this kind of thing, they will give it an opportunity, and after suffering a few losses, they will become much more cautious.
Especially EDG, which has been planning around the key dragon and Baron Nash.
Waiting for the Earth Dragon to refresh.
The factory manager took Scout, iBoy, and Meiko together, using the earth dragon to attract Condi. At the critical moment, they stopped their output and everyone focused their fire on Condi!
Kill someone first.
Then punish the dragon steadily.
At this time, Xing Dao had already made Greedy Hydra and Radiance, destroyed the first blood tower, and started to invade the jungle, further compressing Condi's development space.
Just fourteen minutes.
The Lee Sin in Condi's hand has become a useless person.
The only chance to clean up the situation is the roundhouse kick that any disadvantaged Lee Sin would choose to use.
But in this game, EDG's bottom lane has Xayah who has [Storm Feather Blade] to protect herself, and the support is a Janna who has excellent counter-attack ability and can even be said to be the best.
The probability of Lee Sin's spin kick being successful is basically negligible.
This is also true.
At the 23rd minute, in a team fight over Baron Nashor, Condi tried to enter the field, but was blown up by Meiko, and was hit a seamless double combo of charged Q+R+Q. He was melted into the battlefield without any resistance.
The camera turns.
Behind the WE lineup...a ​​female swordsman holding a hollow dragon-patterned sword appeared!
When Xing Dao was pushing the line, he left enough eyes in the jungle and completed the teleportation before the team battle started.
R skill [Unparalleled Challenge] is given to Ashe.
Block Luo's backhand control and flash forward to chase.
Normal attack!
E【Fatal Stab】!
Tiamat!
Before the three damage numbers pop up, use the Q skill [Breakthrough] to slide to the side to avoid Luo's W's knockback, and then swing a sword at Ashe for a guaranteed explosion!
Just a simple half combo and take him away directly.
EDG General (Fire Girl) killed WE Mystic (Ice Archer)!
The blood recovery array is triggered.
Xing Dao stood on the Azure Dragon's phantom and attacked Lucian again.
"General's damage was too high. Mystic was killed instantly. Xiye couldn't beat him either... It was impossible for Lucian with two and a half items to fight against Fiora with three items. He had to run away through the wall."
"Luo, hurry up and follow him."
"957 can't escape... He was knocked off his horse, with no chance to get back on. He was directly pulled to death by Xia's [Barb] with 10,000 feathers stacked on top of it!"
Miller quickly explained the situation in the game: "EDG team took the big dragon without any pressure. There should be no suspense in this game."
"Greedy Hydra, Triforce, Bloody Hands... Here comes another Storm Sword to be the Spring Brother." Wawa reads out the equipment on Sword Girl: "General is unstoppable!"
"Champion Sword Princess, she is indeed the Champion Sword Princess!"
All EDG members replenished their status, updated their equipment, and advanced in two directions.
Pull slowly from the front.
With the protection of Janna and the counterattack of Clockwork and Sejuani, they are not afraid of being attacked when there are fewer people.
On the side, no hero could stop Xing Dao's advance.
Even a 957 Kled, standing under the defensive tower, had to go back to the fountain to replenish his status after taking three sets of damage.
Super soldiers were dismantled along the way.
The second route was soon lost.
Twenty-five and a half minutes in, the picture froze. In the second game of the final BO3, EDG destroyed WE's base at a faster speed.
And by virtue of the lead in game time, they returned to the first place in Group A.
Challengers await in the semi-finals of the playoffs!
