Chapter 626: This hero is good at beating Akali!
What is Akali?
He is the most discussed hero among players after the rework in version 8.15.
It is an ultimate monster that can use Q to restore health, has double displacement , and can ignore even defense towers when using W.
To be blunt, it can be said to be a BUG under the guise of 'reasonable'!
Although Akali's overall win rate in Rank has not yet reached 50 %, that is the result of a series of reasons including the high difficulty in getting started, the small number of proficient players, and the fact that she is too commonly chosen. It does not mean that the hero is not strong.
——In the hands of a player who is proficient in playing Akali, the win rate in the same segment generally exceeds 60% or even 70%.
Faker, a representative figure of the LCK region, had just started playing Akali more than half a month ago and won 4 out of 5 games. Now, he has regained his glory with the hero Akali, and has once again stirred up a bloody storm in the Korean server as an "outdated veteran".
WE actually dared to let go?!
"Choose, choose, EDG chooses!"
"With General's skill level, Akali will definitely be picked immediately if she is released!"
Ze Yuan saw the expected situation: "However, since WE dared to release Akali, they must have at least a countermeasure that they think is effective. It is impossible for them to give Akali to EDG without any preparation."
"Yes." Wang Duoduo agreed: "Let's wait and see how this strategy works!"
Other clubs originally thought that the battle between EDG and WE, two teams with a huge gap in ranking, would be unremarkable.
Some coaches simply didn't watch the game.
But when they heard that Akali was going to appear, they all opened their live broadcast rooms.
I want to see Xing Dao’s performance in this game and prepare for the subsequent confrontation.
As for the question of whether or not we can beat EDG after watching it...
At least we should try our best so as not to lose the game so badly.
On the big screen.
The subsequent choices of both teams were relatively conventional.
EDG's lineup is: Akali on top, Sejuani in the jungle, Lulu in the mid lane, Kaisa in the bottom lane, and Thresh as support.
WE's lineup is: Jarvan IV as jungler, Taliyah as mid laner, EZ and Tam as bottom laner, and the hero used to fight Akali in the top lane is... Alchemist!
"Oh, alchemy!"
Ze Yuan's eyes lit up: "Alchemist has appeared more than 20 times in the summer season. He is a new all-purpose hero developed by professional players. Moreover, Alchemist has a certain restraint on Akali in both laning and teamfighting."
"We all know that Akali's W invisibility cannot be selected, but Alchemy's Q skill does not need to be selected."
"Alchemy's W has a ground-binding effect, which can limit Akali's movement. Its superb ability to clear minions and disconnect waves is also difficult for Akali to deal with."
"It's still very difficult to kill him with a big move and double resistance." Wang Duoduo added.
Just look at the mechanism.
Alchemy is indeed very comfortable against Akali.
If you poison yourself and run along the line of soldiers, then create some distance between you and Akali, it will be very difficult for her to deal AOE damage due to limited energy.
In addition, Xiye’s choice of Lulu was obviously for the purpose of practicing heroes for the Asian Games, which reduced the pressure on WE’s mid lane.
Jiejie is a rookie jungler with obvious experience deficiencies. He may not be able to defeat Condi, who has recovered and pushed Ai Loli back to the bench.
therefore.
In the eyes of outsiders, this game went from being a foregone conclusion to a situation where WE might have a little... maybe a 10% or 20% chance of a comeback.
"Don't be anxious during the laning phase, just stay calm."
"Wait until the equipment is ready, and then fight with them. It's best to make Akali or Sejuani lose touch with them."
Smile gave instructions to the juniors during the final countdown: "Jiejie hasn't played many official matches, so his coordination with the other EDG players is a bit poor. This is General's first time using Akali in a match, so he must not be that familiar with it... POKE has a status advantage, so we can get rid of one hero first. It will be easy to fight with the advantage in numbers."
"clear!"
"no problem!"
“…”
WE players responded one after another.
"Prince can divide the battlefield and pull them apart first, force them to use their skills before joining the fight."
Smile continued: "Xiye's roaming has always been a weakness, and this time he used Lulu. See if you can create an opportunity to outnumber others in the lower half."
"Don't go top. Alchemist is fine on his own. It won't have much impact if he gets caught. If the jungler goes top and gets counter-ganked or manipulated, everything will go to hell."
"Don't worry!" Condi responded confidently.
Get through the spring slump.
Although Condi has not yet returned to the peak form of "Son of the Dragon", he is also a jungler ranked in the upper middle of the LPL - this can be seen from the comparison of WE's total points and the economic difference in the first fifteen minutes.
…
"General's Akali... can Alchemist really beat him?"
LCK region.
KkOma, SKT head coach and Asian Games head coach, is looking forward to the top lane matchup.
As we all know, Alchemist is a very easy hero to play.
If Alchemist can compete with and suppress Akali in the laning phase, it will be good news for both the Asian Games and the World Finals at the end of the year.
After all, General’s hero pool also includes very tricky ones such as Skate, Lucian, and Fiora.
If Akali is no longer locked to one ban position, overall Ban/Pick will be much easier.
In different ideas.
The camera turns to Summoner's Rift.
There is actually nothing special about the middle and lower roads.
An EZ in the AD position and a mid-lane Lulu basically represent peace in the laning phase.
The only things worth looking forward to are the game between the jungler and the most crucial fight with the top laner.
"Flash teleport, dark seal to exit, electric shock..."
Faker saw this match and made a firm judgment: "General definitely didn't try his best in this match. He used heroes with escape skills like Shen and Centaur, and chose Teleport and Ignite for his summoner skills. Akali can definitely be played this way."
"Sang Hyuk (Faker), you are right!" KkOma nodded: "General is very good at planning, maybe this is something that everyone can master when they reach a certain level of strength... However , once or twice, it's fine. Once it happens more times, the little things he can change will be within our calculations."
"Xiye, the Chinese team's mid laner in the Asian Games, probably won't use the hero Akali."
"They won't." Faker said calmly: "I don't think Xiye is a weak player, but he is not that strong either, especially when EDG and the Chinese team have strong top laners and decent ADs. They won't put their hopes of winning on the mid laner... especially when facing me."
During the competition.
957 appeared again to fight for WE, and he was extremely cautious with his equipment.
It is not the dark seal commonly known as the killing ring.
It is not a corruption potion with three levels of recovery effect.
Instead, it was Doran's Ring plus two bottles of red potion.
It is better to lose nearly a head of economy at the beginning to ensure the highest basic attributes and try every means to reduce the possibility of Xing Dao opening a gap from the top lane.
The effect... is really good!
