Chapter 266: When there is no way forward, try to take a half step back
There are two ways to deal with AD heroes who have extremely strong output capabilities and cannot be directly confronted.
One is a roundabout involvement.
The other is attack against attack.
In EDG's lineup, Varus and Syndra have no displacement ability, and LGD also has a Prince whose ability to start a team fight is unreasonable.
The roundabout approach is obviously not a particularly feasible approach.
You can only choose to attack back.
When the output-type top laner is banned, Riven is the only choice.
Apart from this reason.
Xing Dao also wanted to test the quality of the Sword Immortal.
In the character card, the Sword Immortal is positioned at the 'Grandmaster' level. According to this standard, Xing Dao can often perform four breaks in actual combat, and has mastered A flash and more unpopular skills, which should make him a level higher.
But it is still stuck at the 99.99% threshold of Grandmaster.
What exactly was missing in the final shot may be found in today's game.
"Riven, see you again, Riven!"
I remember playing an old joke: "General really only plays offensive heroes. He practiced Fiora for a season, and at the end of the season, he took out a new hero, but it turned out to be Riven."
"It's OK as long as we can win !" Ze Yuan thought it was no problem: "I've seen a saying that says the weak follow the version, the strong adapt to the version, and the strongest lead the version."
"And General won't give out real stuff until the most crucial game."
"Does this mean the match against LGD is not crucial?" Rita asked.
"For EDG, which has already secured a ticket to the World Finals, the games within the region are not that important." Ze Yuan said without leaving any holes.
While talking.
LGD’s final move was also revealed.
Wei Shen got the Mechanical Pioneer Viktor to supplement the team's line clearing and AOE damage in team battles.
At the same time, it can also cooperate well with the Prince's ultimate move.
The lineup is confirmed.
Blue side: EDG
Red side: LGD
Top lane: Riven vs Fiora
Jungle: Rek'Sai (Excavator) vs. Prince
Mid: Syndra vs Viktor
AD: Varus vs Vayne
Support: Janna vs Thresh
EDG's mentality is very relaxed. After all, they are in a superior position in terms of strength. Even if they lost to LGD in the regular season, they don't think there will be any problems in BO5.
The LGD players were completely stunned.
You know, Imp's strength has been declining sharply since he became addicted to alcohol, and Wei Shen's performance in the last few rounds of the season was purely a last-ditch effort.
A large part of should be given to the swordsman who killed The shy twice, and the jungler who appeared and disappeared like a ghost and left Ning confused.
Facing EDG, we also have to rely on low-probability events such as the double C explosion and the stupid B countering the master.
Win the blow.
Lost...
The god of death Hirano Aya, the little bitch smashing imp, and Wei Shen the Magellan of the canyon, who is afraid of the dark?
The game begins.
The LGD players purchased initial equipment and walked out of the fountain.
Directly invade EDG's lower jungle area.
This kind of behavior of level one group fight is relatively rare among strong teams.
Because in a game where the lineup gap is not big, fighting at level one is a lottery, and teams that are more confident in their strength are reluctant to choose it.
"Look at this wave of LGD. With Thresh and Vayne, they are likely to get something if they pull someone in."
"I saw the wind girl... hook!"
"Forcing Meiko to flash is already a big win."
Ze Yuan looked at the battlefield and said: "Meiko's wave was like meeting love at the corner. If she reacted a little slower, she would have given away the kill."
"LGD also stopped when they saw the advantage and continued to move forward. It would be easy to get into trouble if they were ambushed. Thresh's Q skill has a long CD if it doesn't hit the target. If they move forward, they will lack a key skill."
Compared to Wawa and Miller.
Zeyuan is much more professional.
Not only does he remember the full names of all the skills, he also has a very accurate understanding of the situation. He is the most popular commentator of the new generation.
Seeing that there would be no battle, the director displayed .
Two wars on the road.
Jungle Rek'Sai is War Enthusiasm, and Prince is Thunder.
Thunder is standard in the middle lane.
AD has the Bloodlust of Warlord, and neither Varus nor Vayne relies on the little damage increased by War Fervor.
In the support position, Janna carries the standard Blessing of Windtalker, and Thresh carries the Courage of the Colossus, which allows him to gain a shield after triggering hard control, thus increasing his tankiness a little.
1 minute 40 seconds.
Wild monsters refresh.
As soon as the factory manager started, he seized a very clear advantage.
The reason is that when on the blue side, the jungler and mid laner with AOE capabilities can collect F6 together, allowing the bottom lane combination to attack the red BUFF.
Halfway through the fight, let the jungler who has reached level 2 come over to take over.
It is an authentic VIP-level imperial brand.
This tactic was first researched by the WE team to ensure Condi's combat effectiveness in the jungle.
It was quickly copied by EDG.
This is also the key reason why Scout grabbed Syndra first.
A hero at the bottom of T1 is not worth wasting a first-floor spot on.
But a hero who can enter the T1 level and can also help the jungler to upgrade is worthy of being snatched up by the EDG team.
"Ziziliao is so comfortable. Syndra's Q skill is once every 4 seconds, so I can help cast two."
"The duo lane was not slow in killing the red buff. Wind Girl's shield had an attack damage bonus, and Varus also gave a charged Q before leaving."
Remember to look at the information on the screen.
"After Rek'Sai's ultimate was reworked, its combat effectiveness increased a lot. There may be an explanation for this." Ze Yuan guessed.
Rek'Sai's ultimate has been changed from flying across the map to locking onto a marked single point and rushing forward, with a killing effect.
Although the damage of small skills has been reduced, it is much stronger than before after level 6.
In this game, the factory manager gained the advantage in experience with the help of his teammates. If he doesn't do anything next, it would be a shame to have such a good start.
At this time.
The troops in the top lane came into contact.
The director's camera then shifted to show the confrontation that the audience was most looking forward to.
Xing Dao used a Grandmaster-level character card, which, combined with his own attributes, gave him sufficient confidence, and he brought a Doran's Blade and a red weapon.
Needless to say, Jinoo's nickname is Sword Immortal.
Both sides handled the situation very cautiously. They spent nine seconds moving out of the ten seconds they were on the line, and in the remaining second they exchanged damage, so it didn't seem like a fierce conflict broke out .
After a brief pause, the view switched to the bottom lane where blood was frequently exchanged.
Only viewers who truly understand the top lane position know how high the risk is in such a cautious confrontation between Fiora and Riven.
Just like a lion and a tiger testing each other.
If there is any flaw, the subsequent fierce attack will come like a storm.
The situation is very dangerous .
but……
Xing Dao's face gradually revealed an expression of enlightenment.
As the saying goes, every inch has its own strength.
Besides, Jinoo, nicknamed the Sword Immortal, definitely cannot be described as "inch".
After a simple game of chess for a while, Xing Dao realized what he lacked.
That's the basics!
Offensive players usually only think about one thing - to gain an advantage through various means.
But this kind of thing is not easy to succeed.
Because in all areas, defensive counterattacks are relatively easy choices. When the strength is equal, the pressure and risks faced by the offensive side will be higher.
But...
When you can no longer move forward, try taking a half step back and perhaps you will see a new world.
