Chapter 678: Under One Person and 'One Person'
It’s true that you check your ID when you go on the road.
But when the ID is not advantageous, you can only make up for it by the hero's strength.
Two and a half years ago, The shy was the Rank killing god, Xing Dao was the LSPL little bully, and they were both good at their own fields.
To this day.
The shy's strength was fully realized, his fame rose to a new level, and he was given the title of "second only to one person".
Looking at the entire LPL, there are very few top lane players who dare to attack against The shy.
pity.
Xing Dao is that... person.
After the first game, the IG team discovered a serious problem.
——If you give The shy a team fight hero, he will easily lose in the laning phase. If you give The shy a laning hero, he will be completely finished if he collapses during the laning phase.
"We can't continue to focus on the top lane..."
IG coach Kim Jeong-soo discussed with the players: "The risk of playing around the top lane is too high. General is indeed a unique top laner. Even if we can gain an advantage in the lane, General may not be as effective in teamfights."
"It's okay." The shy responded in Korean: "You don't need to take special care of me, I like to grow."
"Okay." Jin Jingzhu nodded: "In the second game, we are on the red side. We have a counter position. Finally, we will give the hero to the middle lane. After the middle lane has established an advantage, we will feed back to the jungler and other lanes."
"Got it!" Rookie agreed readily.
The fact that Xing Dao is a unique top laner is undisputed in the whole world.
but.
Judging from the data and performance, Rookie is also unique in the mid lane position.
Moreover, compared to the remote top lane, the middle lane is more suitable for supporting the entire field and can provide high-frequency help to teammates.
In a game where the bottom lane and jungle are not at a disadvantage, IG puts the responsibility of carrying on Rookie... victory is definitely expected.
Simply discuss a good strategy.
The IG team waited for the break to end and once again took to the main stage.
The second game started with EDG, who actively chose the blue side.
"In this version, teams that focus on the middle and top lanes will often actively choose the red side, because the red side can choose players later. EDG is one of the few teams that always actively chooses the blue side."
"Teams playing against EDG should also proactively select blue."
Miller analyzed: "The main reason is that General is good at too many strong heroes. If he grabs those heroes on the blue side, it will be a bit difficult to deal with in both laning and teamfights."
"That's right." Changmao counted them one by one: "General can use the three new heroes, Aatrox, Irelia, and Akali, a fast-paced Gangplank with Radiant Storm, a one-kick Centaur, an unstoppable split pusher, and we can't ignore Jayce and the AD top laner who focus on the early game advantage."
"When ED G is on the blue side, if the opponent doesn't triple-ban the top laner, they must release a new hero."
"If the top laner is triple-banned, other positions will easily suffer, and it will not be able to solve some of the systems that EDG is good at."
"IG banned three top laners in this game, Akali, Irelia, and Aatrox were not released." Wawa looked at the big screen that switched to the Ban/Pick interface: "EDG banned Zac, Olaf, and Lee Sin, and picked Galio first on the first floor, with support spanning most of the field."
"IG's first two floors, take out Aishtam to avoid EDG's continued restriction of the jungler."
"EDG's second and third floors are Shen and Kai'Sa, the charge system is complete!"
Shen brings Galio into the game and uses strong control to trigger Kaisa's passive, allowing Kaisa to follow up with her ultimate. It is a very classic reckless system.
The strength of this system lies in its ability to bypass the opponent's front row and find the back row heroes for a bloody battle.
It's IG's turn to choose.
In order to prevent the back row from being crushed by a single charge, IG brought out Sion, who had two crowd controllers.
In team battles, there is a powerful combo of driving in the opposite direction followed by a charged Q. Combined with Tam's W to swallow people, the protection and counterattack capabilities are quite good.
"You did a good job of countering each other's moves this round."
Miller commented: "After the first three heroes were selected, both sides were actually not at a disadvantage. It mainly depends on the development situation and specific operations... In the second round, EDG banned Taliyah and Leblanc, and IG banned Agni and Thresh."
In the second round, IG chooses first.
Got a Kayn on the fourth floor.
"Huh?"
Changmao was surprised: "Throughout 2018, Ning Wang never picked Kayn in an official match. Was it because all junglers were banned and he had no heroes left, or was it because he had practiced a killer move?"
"It's hard to say, let's see how they perform." Wawa didn't want to offend either side: "EDG's fourth and fifth floors are Gangplank and Braum, and IG's fifth floor is... Twilight Star Spirit - Zoe?!"
"Oops!" Miller had never expected this: "We are using version 8.16 in the LPL playoffs, and Zoe has been nerfed a lot!"
Zoe's W damage ratio decreased from 0.55 to 0.4.
Passive damage is reduced by about a third in the mid-game when it is most needed to be countered.
The word "broken bones" is not enough to describe it.
It's like having a hand cut off.
Even so, Rookie still dared to choose Zoe in the extremely important counter position on the fifth floor. How confident is he?
"IG picked the first three floors, which was a bit like a defensive counterattack."
Changmao commented: "But when Kayn and Zoe were brought out at the end, it was no longer a defensive counterattack. It was the same as the previous game - it was very offensive."
"Yes, and IG's POKE will be very strong." Miller looked at it from a hero perspective: "Both of their C positions have long arms and can steal damage from a long distance ."
"As long as they are not in the front, EDG will not be that easy to force."
"Because EDG rushed in at once and used up all their skills, it was easy for IG to use the terrain to pull them back."
"Yes." Wawa agreed: "IG's mid and jungle selection depends too much on personal ability. Zoe and Kayn are two heroes with strong personal abilities, and their upper limits are very, very high. In other words, although IG lost the first game, the players still have a very good mentality."
"EDG is very simple. They just fight one wave and rush in to decide the outcome."
The countdown is over.
Zwada and Kim Jung-soo, who came on stage as coaches to conduct BP, walked to the center of Summoner's Rift, shook hands and left.
The camera then turned to Summoner's Rift.
Blue side: EDG
Red side: IG
Top lane: Gangplank vs Sion
Jungle: Shen vs Kayn
Mid: Galio vs Zoe
AD: Kaisa vs. Ashe
Support: Braum vs. Tam
At the beginning of the game, EDG first guarded the intersection of the jungle area to prevent Sion from stealing the BUFF by using the suicide method.
After confirming Sean's location, they dispersed.
1 minute 27 seconds.
EDG's four heroes, Kaisa, Braum, Galio, and Shen, gathered together to invade the lower half of IG's jungle area!
IG had previously placed a ward in the river and discovered EDG's actions.
But...it can't be solved.
Everyone knows how strong Braum is in a level 1 team fight. Galio's W flash and Shen's E are also extremely explosive first moves. They can also help Kaisa stack her passive [Plasma], maximizing control and damage.
Even if IG set up an ambush first, they couldn't win and could only retreat.
The jungle area immediately fell into a disadvantage.
That’s not all.
When the camera turned to the road, a shocking thing appeared at the bottom of the screen...
“Really?!”
There was a lot of surprise in Changmao's tone: "If I'm not mistaken, General stole a skill point?!"
