Chapter 594: True and False General, the Chicken Sword Demon!
“Wow!”
“It’s actually a line change!”
Wawa had guessed EDG's behavior early on through their positioning, and deliberately waited until the lane swap was successful before saying, "Switch LeBlanc to the top lane, and Aatrox to the middle lane... It should be much easier to develop against Aatrox and Anivia than against Jayce."
"Yes." Miller nodded: "I really didn't expect EDG to handle it this way."
Among all the strong teams in the world, EDG has the weakest desire to change lanes.
The reason is simple.
EDG's top laner has strong enough ability to clear levels.
Both the carry chance and stability are stronger than the bottom lane.
Letting the top laner to withstand pressure or find another way to develop, and ensuring that the AD who can easily receive Q can eat the line, is a behavior that puts the cart before the horse and is not worth the loss.
but……
Switching lanes between mid and top is EDG’s traditional skill.
Scout was still a junior, and in the S6 finals where a group of top mid laners were still at a disadvantage, EDG used the tactic of switching lanes between the mid and top lanes to make up for this shortcoming.
However, in order to avoid Jayce's edge, EDG moved Aatrox to the middle lane in this game, which was unexpected by the commentators, the audience, and even the coaches and players of the KT team.
"Genera l won't line up with me?"
In the KT player seat, Smeb looked obviously surprised.
It is true that most professional players have a self-confidence that is almost arrogant.
But when the difference in strength is obvious, one can also correctly recognize the gap.
Although Smeb believes that Jayce can easily suppress Aatrox during laning, he does not think that Xing Dao will choose to avoid it just because it is difficult to line up against Jayce, and put the pressure on LeBron who also finds it difficult to line up against Jayce.
To put it bluntly.
The old Smeb is not qualified to make the current world No. 1 top laner, who is ranked in a separate tier, actively avoid him and even "sell out his friends for fame".
Unless...
"Unless Xing Dao has other ideas!"
In the backstage lounge of the LPL team, Mouse, who knows Xing Dao well, came to the same conclusion: "His Aatrox is so fierce... I am confused. He is definitely not afraid of Jayce. He probably thinks Anivia is easier to beat when he switches lanes with LeBlanc."
"Will it be easy for Sword Demon to defeat Ice Bird?" Ning Mazi was a little curious.
The other contestants showed similar expressions on their faces.
Ice Bird’s initial combat effectiveness is indeed not as good as that of a strong mid-lane hero.
But it should be relatively easy to bully a Sword Demon whose skill swing is ridiculously long...
"It will definitely be difficult for me to fight with it."
Mouse said calmly: "Xing Dao is different from me. His Aatrox... how should I put it... just ask Kim Tae-sang (Doinb) and you will know."
"Xing Dao's Sword Demon is just average. He only suppressed me by six attacks in the laning phase." Doinb said arrogantly, "No more talking. The second wave of laning is coming."
"Depend on!"
“Is this true or false?”
"Is the new version of Sword Demon this strong in laning?"
"It seems that BDD and Maple are not very good."
The other LPL members didn't quite believe it.
It’s not like everyone hasn’t tried the new version of Sword Demon.
There is also a precedent.
A fool who was just a mess when bullying the weaker team in the semi-finals, and a fool who was simply beaten into a losing record, isn’t that convincing enough?
"Oh my, just watch it, as if I would lie to you."
Doinb showed an expression of regret for the past and turned his gaze to the monitor in front of him: "Xing Dao's Sword Demon is really something!"
While talking.
The three groups of soldiers all came into contact with each other.
The first scene that appeared was Smeb's Jayce using his hero characteristics to chase and suppress LeBlanc, driving her out of the experience zone.
Xiye had no way to deal with such an opponent.
The damage of LeBlanc's level 1 Q is only 70+0.6 spell power bonus, and its own attributes are also a big level lower than Jayce's. No matter how you exchange blood, you will definitely lose.
In the middle lane where the line of troops is the shortest, you can also lean on the defensive tower to hold on.
If you switch to the top lane with the longest line of soldiers, you are bound to lose some development.
"Xiye is in danger!"
Miller glanced at the small map: "KT jungler Score started from F6 with the help of Anivia, and then killed the red buff. He will soon be able to rush to the top lane. Xiye might be tower dived!"
"It's not good. Zz1tai started from the red buff, so he was much slower to get to the top lane..." Ze Yuan had just said this when he caught a good scene: "Wait, Zz1tai didn't attack F6 and the three wolves, but went directly to the blue buff... He is indeed a top-notch jungler in the LPL region, with so much experience!"
A Gragas with enough AOE will first attack the double buffs + a single wild monster like the Gromp, obviously to prevent himself from being killed at level 2 in the top lane.
Xiye’s crisis is temporarily resolved.
Middle road...
" What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
Wawa followed the director's perspective and discovered something unusual: "How did General's Sword Demon knock down so much health from General Pawn's Ice Bird?!"
Center of the big screen.
The Sword Demon lost more than a hundred points of health.
This is normal.
When a melee hero faces a ranged hero, even if he can use movement to deflect the skill, it is difficult to avoid being consumed by basic attacks.
But why did Ice Bird lose more than 150 points of health to the Sword Demon?
Just saying this.
The Sword Demon, who had just reached level 2, demonstrated it in front of the camera.
When the Ice Bird flapped its wings and threw an icicle at the low-health soldier, the Sword Demon held the giant sword with both hands and raised the giant sword upwards with the first part of his Q [Darkin Blade].
Ice Bird immediately moved sideways.
Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in walking away.
He was hit a little bit by the edge of the Sword Demon's giant sword, and the Arcane Comet that was in his talent also hit him.
This step is not particularly surprising. After all, Ice Bird has a very long pre-attack period, and its basic movement speed is also the lowest in the league at 325. It is acceptable to be caught and last hit and lose a little bit of health.
However.
The next scene was beyond the expectations of all the audience, commentators and even people in the professional circle.
——The Sword Demon cast a second-stage Q at an angle, which theoretically could never hit the Ice Bird, and the edge of the sword once again shook the Ice Bird up!
"???????"
"????"
"Can this be Q?"
"Is the Sword Demon's skill range so large?"
“Outrageous!”
"Is it possible to add judgment to the rank?"
“…”
Some players who have played many games with the Sword Demon felt something was wrong.
If there is only a slight difference, non-professional players and high-level passers-by will most likely not be able to see it.
However, the diagonally cast second stage Q of the Sword Demon is half a body length away from the normal second stage Q, and not everyone can detect the problem.
And this is not the end yet.
Both stages of Sword Demon's Q dealt maximum damage, and then he used his W [Evil Fire Chain] to hit the ground.
The dark red energy chain spread forward and bound the ice bird.
Ice Bird, whose movement speed is only 325, is slowed down by 15%, and even if it chooses the shortest path, it cannot escape the area generated by the Sword Demon's W.
If Anivia's Q [Ice Flash] had not cooled down and she had thrown it out to force the Sword Demon to move, she would have likely been hit by the Sword Demon's third stage [Darkin Blade] and the normal attack with the passive [Death Sword Qi].
"General's skill hit rate is too high!"
Ze Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "The first two Qs all hit, plus a W... The most important thing is that before Ice Bird can buy shoes, he will definitely be pulled back by Sword Demon's W."
"I remembered a nickname that is a bit old." Wawa suddenly had an idea: "In the season when every mid laner in Europe and the United States has an Ice Bird, everyone will follow suit, and then a player summed it up in a sentence - it can only be called Ice Bird if it has the blue buff, and it can only be called Blue Chicken without the blue buff."
"So..." Miller suddenly had an idea: "General, this is the 'Pull Chicken' Sword Demon?"
