Chapter 143 - Stairway to the Gods (Part )

In a loft under the dim night, Kakao took a deep breath: "This is the first time I've come here. Before this, we've played in many finals. No matter who our opponent is, we, IG, will not fail."

The camera switched again, and the five SKT players looked down at Berlin. At this moment, the night view looked extremely gorgeous.

Yuan Shen stood up and said with a smile: "Many people say that SKT is very strong, but SKT today is not as strong as it was in the past. If I succeed today, I will not be happy, but will regret that I was not born a few years earlier."

"Without my participation, the S3 World Championship would have no value."

With light footsteps, everyone in IG disappeared.

The next moment, the BGM suddenly rose!

The atmosphere at the scene also suddenly stagnated!
The scenes of SKT winning the S3 World Championship flashed by one by one.

The Roaring Emperor's tone was very pious, even full of madness.

"They are SKT!! They are the undisputed strongest team in LCK! To this day, their dominance continues!"

"Now, they have made it to the finals of the global finals for the second time!"

The scene turned to the S3 World Finals game scene, the classic moment when all SKT members held the trophy.

The high-spirited appearance of the five SKT players formed a sharp contrast with the bewildered Uzi.

The BGM continued, and all five players from IG and SKT gathered and looked at each other.

In the center of them is the Summoner's Cup.

"I have been working hard. If I get runner-up this time, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"I think it's okay to have regrets sometimes. Everyone has to have some regrets. Why can't it be you?"

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, the IG team had already arrived at their destination.

The decisive battle is about to begin.

"We have been creating miracles. We have never lost since entering the World Championship. We are confident that we will win all the way."

……

boom!
boom!
boom!
The BGM disappeared and the shots on the scene switched wildly.

The big screen shot was directed to the commentary section.

The game officially begins!
"Well, welcome back! After such a wonderful opening ceremony..."

Wawa and Miller stood in the commentary booth in Berlin.

Behind him was an endless sea of ​​spectators.

"The contestants ahead are still making their final preparations for the long-awaited finals. Now I want to ask the two of you next to me, how are you feeling right now?"

After saying this, Wawa looked around.

On the left is Xiaoxiao and on the right is Miller.

Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and said, "I feel very nervous."

Yeah, who's nervous?
It wasn't very hot, but I was sweating all over.

The most important match of the World Championship is about to take place.

Whether it is SKT or IG, they are the last hope of the region.

No matter which team wins, there will be Koreans who will become world champions again, which is really a win.

"Yeah, before the game, let's see what the players on both sides have to say to each other and everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shen's figure appeared on the big screen.

"We have come this far not by luck or fortune, but by strength."

"Having come this far, I don't think anyone can stop us from winning the championship."

"SKT is just so-so. Riot rated them as the best team, which I think is a bit exaggerated."

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, the audience was already screaming wildly.

There is no doubt about Yuan Shen's strength. He killed all his opponents alone and won almost all MVPs. The top version seemed to be tailor-made for him.

Whether it is Ssumday or Smeb, two of the three top laners in LCK have fallen at his hands.

"What do you think of the other opponents in this world competition, or in other words, player MaRin."

Yuan Shen pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made a great decision. He smiled and said, "I will prove who is the world's number one top laner on this stage."

As soon as he finished speaking, MaRin appeared.

"I'm not afraid of challenges. I'm just afraid that no one can match me and I'll get bored. League of Legends is a game that's too easy to be interesting to play."

"I hope Yuan can make me feel some pressure as people boast, otherwise I will really lose interest in the game of League of Legends."

"I have never played against Yuan. This is the first time we meet. I feel I can lead the team to victory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and then lit up again.

In the commentary booth, Wawa Miller and Xiaoxiao appeared again.

The players from both teams entered the arena and the audience cheered.

IG has become the expectation of the entire LPL region and all domestic players.

In the live broadcast room, the EDG players who were eliminated and returned to their country started live broadcasts and followed the game.

SKT also carries the expectations of millions of viewers.

Competition, entered the BP interface.

When IG appeared on the blue side, the audience cheered instantly!

In this world championship, the blue team’s win rate reached 70%!

In the quarterfinals and semifinals, IG was drawn on the red side all the time.

But today, the final!!

On the most crucial day, IG came to the blue side!!!

No matter who it is, everyone is quite satisfied with the result.

Even the five IG members breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

"Red team, should we release Iron Man?"

Bang asked softly.

He has paid so much for today!
The iron man who didn't know how to play, he practiced and learned it.

They even thought of a way to restrain the Iron Man system!
MaRin has mastered Gangplank, Faker's Ryze is even more terrifying, EasyHoon's Tsar, his Tristana...

They originally thought that with their strength, winning the championship would not be a difficult task.

But the emergence of IG made all of them feel a sense of crisis.

IG, too strong.

In other words, in this version, IG is more suitable than them!

They don't want to fail, so they have to give everything!
During this period, Bang clearly felt that he had lost a lot of hair.

He became bald and stronger!
IG on the blue side banned Rumble, Tristana, and Ryze in the third round.

SKT banned Olaf and Fiora.

When the ban arrived, everyone was stunned.

There is only one ban position left between the Captain and Tie Nan.

This means that one of these two heroes will definitely appear in the finals!

"Is the first game so exciting?"

"What will SKT ban? Iron Man or Gangplank?"

Miller swallowed his saliva. When he saw SKT's last Ban appear, the competition venue had already erupted with overwhelming cheers! !
SKT, chose to ban Crocodile!!

Tienan and the captain, all released!!

Without any hesitation, IG took the lead and directly grabbed Iron Man! !

This hero, as long as he can control the dragon, can disrupt the opponent's rhythm in the early and middle stages.

Even if the opponent gets the Captain, there is no chance for them to develop to the late stage.

What's more, it's not so easy to train to be a hero like Captain!
There was an uproar at the competition site!!

Tienan was chosen by IG again.

In the first two moves, SKT directly grabbed Spider and Gangplank!

These two heroes are must-ban and must-pick in the World Championship, and have a 100% win rate. I encountered them for the first time today!
"Whether it's IG or SKT, they both have a 100% win rate now. In this game, Iron Man and Captain, IG and SKT, one of the teams will break their unbeaten streak."

Wawa sighed.

On the field, both sides selected players at an unusually fast pace.

It seemed that they had made preparations in advance. When IG took down Lee Sin and Karma in the second and third hands, SKT did not hesitate at all and directly locked the heroes with both hands!
Frost Witch, Lissandra!

Eye of the Void, Vel'Koz!

As soon as these two heroes appeared, the faces of the IG players became extremely ugly.

SKT also thought of a tactic to crack the Iron Man system!

The only difference is that they are training Malzahar and Brand, while the opponents are training Big Eyes and Lissandra!

They are both mages with stable ultimate control and long-range wave clearing.

They are very familiar with this combination.

"what to do."

Jack was a little flustered.

Although I don’t know how skilled the other party is, since he dares to do it, he must be confident.

"The plan remains the same. Don't be afraid. Keep good vision in the jungle to prevent Spider from crossing the tower. Kakao, pay attention to protecting the bottom lane."

Fu Manduo spoke quickly, beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead.

Kkoma is very familiar with the S3 championship coach.

It was like this when he was in SKT, but he didn't expect SKT to be so well prepared!
In IG’s last two moves, they took down Riven and Thresh.

Originally they wanted to pick Leona, but facing such a combination, Thresh was obviously a better choice.

Thresh is also the hero that Sheke practices the most.

With SKT's final pick of Tsar confirmed, the lineups of both sides were officially determined.

IG: Riven, Lee Sin, Karma, Malphite, Thresh.

SKT: Gangplank, Spider, Tsar, Big Eyes, Ice Girl.

No one can understand SKT's lineup.

Basically, those who can understand are all there.

Many viewers in the live broadcast room expressed their incomprehension of SKT's decision to release Iron Man.

The LCK live broadcast room was filled with curses.

With a four AP lineup and Riven adding a little magic resistance, she will be almost invincible in team fights.

The captain's development pace is really too slow.

What's more, the opponent is Iron Man, who is well-known as the rhythm king in the early and mid-game!

In the LPL live broadcast room, it’s just the opposite.

Everyone is optimistic about IG's lineup.

In the SKT player seat, Bengi took a deep breath while looking at the loading interface.

They are bound to win this battle!

In the past, when SKT was on the blue side, they would often take the initiative to ban the hero Malphite.

Many people speculated that SKT would not use Iron Man.

However, this was just a smokescreen they deliberately released.

Bang has been practicing this hero since arriving in Paris.

In the training match with OG, Bang's Iron Man cooperated with Wolf's Diana and destroyed OG's bottom lane combination in just eight minutes.

MaRin's Gangplank, Fiora, Crocodile, and Noxus, Faker's Ryze, LeBlanc, and Lulu, the bottom lane's Iron Man, Tristana, and Skateboard Shoes...

They have prepared so many things just to ensure that this World Championship will be foolproof!
The emergence of IG has made them get rid of their impetuousness and become more stable and down-to-earth.

While everyone is still studying how to qualify from the group stage and the strength of their opponents in the quarterfinals and semifinals, they have already set their sights on the final and the championship throne!

When everyone was studying Tienan's routine, what they thought about was how to crack Tienan's routine.

The end result is simple.

That is to use the double AP's ability to quickly clear minions in the bottom lane and the strength of the jungle to suppress Iron Man's development and prevent him from controlling the little dragon.

Basically all Iron Man routines are like this. At level 1, eat the Stone Man alone and quickly level up to level 2. In the early stage, the opponent has a short range and relies on strong opening.

The hero Iron Man is equivalent to putting the top laner in the bottom lane, and he also has to enjoy the treatment of the big brother.

But Iron Man's own mechanism is destined to make him suffer when facing long-handed mages.

If you dare to last hit, you will be exhausted badly and you won’t feel safe even under the tower.

There are many such heroes.

With the Ice Girl's stable ultimate control as the core, combined with long-range heroes like Big Eyes and Xerath, after level 6, they can cross the tower unscrupulously.

They don't believe IG can come up with a way to crack it in a short period of time.

From the moment IG selected Iron Man, their failure was doomed.

The result of the game did not disappoint them.

Big Eyes even ate the first blue buff just to gain suppression in the lane.

The passive skill of the Ice Girl is that after a period of time, the next skill does not consume mana. Combined with the mana rune mana recovery talent, the skill can be used crazily as if it were free.

Clear the lane and push the tower.

As an Iron Man, he was not safe even when clearing the lane under the tower and was constantly being consumed.

Even with the protection of Lee Sin, he still had no way to deal with Spider's tower diving.

In the middle lane, Rookie's Karma was no match for Faker's Tsar.

The hero Karma is only useful when combined with Lee Sin.

However, Lee Sin was forced to stay and was unable to form an effective linkage with Karma in the early stage.

After gaining the advantage in the laning phase, Faker supported the top lane several times, helping MaRin relieve a lot of pressure.

During the laning phase, Yuan Shen only gained a dozen or so last-hit advantage.

But for the captain, such an advantage is not worth mentioning at all!
After securing the bottom lane, SKT's dragon control rhythm was perfect.

IG had no chance to fight for it at all.

Several team fights broke out between the two sides in the mid-game. Riven, who made Black Cleaver and Hexblade, reversed the situation under the protection of Karma like a god of war, but she could not break the situation.

SKT has too many control skills.

Yuan Shen even had to add a mercury.

Moreover, the Captain and the Tsar, Big Eyes and the Ice Girl, four heroes with long arms, clear the line so quickly!
If you can't push the line, then killing the dragon is giving you a chance.

SKT's defensive operation is flawless!
As time passed, MaRin's captain officially took shape.

In terms of developmental ability, MaRin considers himself to be the best in the world.

At the very least, he is the number one in the top lane!

In a team fight for the big dragon, MaRin's powder barrel blew up IG's back row.

Under the control of the Ice Girl and Tsar's ultimate skills, Riven was unable to fight five people alone.

In thirty-two minutes, IG lost the first game.

In the final, we were trailing 0-1.

The audiences in the LCK and LPL live broadcast rooms seemed to have undergone a two-level reversal.

The LPL audience went from being full of confidence to cursing.

However, the LCK audience celebrated as if they were not the ones who scolded SKT before.

Boast when you win, be rude when you lose, just play for reality!

……

After returning to the training room, everyone in IG was silent.

Jack, in particular, had his hands shaking.

From the moment the laning phase began, it was as if we had entered a nightmare.

"Let's not think about the past. SKT was more prepared than we thought."

Fu Manduo comforted.

"In the next game, we will choose the blue side, grab Gangplank, and release Iron Man. I don't believe they won't choose it!"

Zizhi took a deep breath and couldn't help but speak.

"They definitely won't think that we also have a way to crack Tienan's system. Let's get back one point first!"

"It was mine in the last round. I won't let him get so comfortable this time."

Rookie seemed to perk up.

In the last game, his Karma couldn't cooperate with Lee Sin, and it was really difficult to play.

"Nothing to say, just get one point back first!"

Yuan Shen is still trying to calm down.

Today's SKT is much stronger than the SKT he remembered!

To be fair, he thinks SKT in history had too many shortcomings.

MaRin's personal strength is not strong, and he even fought back and forth with AHQ's top laner Ziv, and was even suppressed.

Bang can't play Malphite, and the entire SKT can't play Gangplank.

However, they relied on their unique hero pool and personal strength to win the S5 World Championship.

15 wins and 1 loss, this winning rate will not be surpassed by any team until 2024.

If it was the SKT in his memory, he would not be afraid at all.

Today's IG is also very strong.

But SKT seems to have changed as well.

As LGD and EDG grew stronger, SKT was also undergoing a transformation.

Now, apart from the advantages of system and version prophet, he has no other advantages.

Even the advantage of the version prophet is slowly being weakened...

Unconsciously, he has changed so many things.

……

The second round of BP will begin soon.

In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller were still comforting the audience.

SKT is very strong, this is their consensus.

In the first game, there was a problem with IG's BP and they were tricked by SKT.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Who would have thought that SKT would find a way to crack Iron Man, who has a 100% win rate.

Such a result can only be said to be no fault of war!
"IG... actively chose the blue side."

"In fact, up to now, the red team has a bigger advantage than the blue team, because they can choose two T0 heroes in this version, and there are too many OP heroes now."

While Wawa and Xiaoxiao were still discussing, IG had already banned the players on the field.

Rumble, Tristana, Ryze.

The same three heroes, no changes.

Once these three ban positions were released, the audience in the LPL live broadcast room were immediately caught off guard.

"Why don't you ban the captain? You're just thinking about that little cannon. What's the use of that little cannon?!"

"Why ban Rambo? Deliberately ban him to let the opponent play Gangplank?"

"This coach is fucking Korean, how can he be so loyal to his country???"

……

The sounds of cursing and shouting mixed together.

Tieba, forums, Weibo, IG fan groups...

Everyone was discussing it.

The loss in the first game broke the defense of the LPL fans who had been advocating that IG was invincible.

Anxious.

SKT's third ban position was given to Fiora and Crocodile.

In the last half, the captain was banned.

Tienan, they are not afraid.

But Captain, it must be banned.

This hero's ability after development is really too strong.

Can completely dominate the game.

"Iron Man has been released again..."

Xiaoxiao slammed the table.

This is already an open conspiracy.

I don’t even dare to choose when I let them go, so what’s the point of playing?
If you don’t choose, then I will choose, okay?
You wouldn't bet that Bang can't play Iron Man, right? ?
The hero Iron Man was banned most of the time during the entire World Championship.

But the first two games of the finals were all released!
"Iron Man, now it depends on whether Bang can play Iron Man, don't choose him!!"

"Bang has never played Malphite before. SKT also banned Malphite when they were on the blue side. He probably can't play it."

Doll and Miller are nervous.

At this stage, both sides have to reveal their cards one by one.

If you hide your moves again, the version will change.

There is not much point in hiding it.

The world championship finals, the ultimate moves are used against each other, and it’s a peak showdown.

It all depends on who has more tactical reserves and who has stronger adjustment capabilities!!

IG's first choice, after a long hesitation.

Choose Iron Man, there are Big Eyes and Fire Man waiting on the opposite side.

Don't choose it, bet that Bang will not be an iron man.

The LPL live broadcast room and the audience on site were all waiting with bated breath.

However, IG's first choice was to directly take down the Enchantress.

Faker's signature hero.

It is also Rookie's signature hero.

LeBlanc, the Deceiver!
No one expected this choice.

The audience at the scene was immediately in an uproar.

"Let's bet on whether Bang can play the Iron Man or not! If they can play the Iron Man, IG will probably be in trouble again."

Miller clenched his fists and kept whispering something.

Wawa listened carefully and realized that what Miller said was "Don't choose Tienan!!"

Miller's thoughts are also the thoughts of many LPL viewers.

Just because SKT has a way to deal with Iron Man doesn’t mean IG has the same!
It seems that the Ice Girl and Big Eyes are not difficult to create and can be copied directly.

But without prior practice and familiarity, blindly imitating will only lead to a worse death!

The player's hero proficiency is so crucial!

However, everyone's will did not change SKT's firm choice at all.

Tienan, lock it up directly.

In the second hand, I took Nunu.

They are determined to control the dragon!!

The LPL live broadcast room was instantly filled with cries of grief.

However, before they could curse, IG made a quick choice.

Spider Queen, Elise!

Vengeful Flame Soul, Brand!!
There are no problems with the popular version of Spider.

Although there is Olaf as a restraint, the opponent has already chosen Nunu first, so there is no possibility of wavering.

However, IG's third choice made everyone stunned.

"Fire man?? Fire forges iron??"

"What the hell, are you doing experiments here?"

"Why do you choose like this? Even if I go up there, I can do better than them."

"As for Fire Man... it seems to be the same idea as Big Eyes, both are used to clear the lane."

Some viewers also saw the hidden meaning of IG's choice. On the field, the SKT players also had doubts.

They chose Iron Man because they naturally didn't believe that IG could copy their Ice Girl and Big Eyes combination in just ten minutes.

Even Bang and Wolf practiced this combination for a week.

Ten minutes, do you really think they are gods?
However, this Brand made Kkoma smell some danger.

"Pick Braum as the support, don't pick Thresh, to prevent the opponent from crossing the tower."

Based on IG's selection, Kkoma made direct adjustments.

The most suitable support heroes for Iron Man are Thresh and Leona.

However, in order to prevent IG from having the same trump card and cooperating with Spider to kill by tower diving, Kkoma would rather make the bottom lane less offensive and would never be stubborn.

Braum, Lulu, lock on directly!

While protecting the support, the mid laner gets Lulu to counter the opponent's Ahri.

All choices are extremely targeted.

“They understand so well…”

Jack couldn't help but sigh.

Just by relying on their Fire Man, they guessed what they might face and even made responses.

Such adaptability is enough to make them take it seriously.

"It's useless, just lock it."

Blessings and more smiles.

The last two hands are locked directly.

Riven, and Malzahar.

As soon as these two heroes appeared, even the dumbest audience members came to their senses.

Malzahar + Fire Man, Ice Girl + Big Eyes.

All of them are mages with stable control and long-range line-clearing skills! !
This combination is so similar!

Moreover, compared to the Ice Maiden, Malzahar's ultimate skill cannot even be removed by purification.

Mercury must be produced!
Thus……

IG has hope in this game!!

“No, they really will??”

Miller's eyes widened and he froze in place.

He felt like a clown just now!
IG released Malphite because they also had a solution, instead of simply betting that Bang couldn't use Malphite?

SKT threw smoke bombs for a whole month, but was tricked by IG?

"We were all taught by the same master, there is no way to break his moves!!"

The doll is very happy.

"Hold on, get one point first!!"

As SKT picked Noxus as their last pick, the lineups of both teams became completely clear when they exchanged positions.

“IG Blue Side:
Top Lane: Exile Blade - Riven
Jungle Kakao: Spider Queen-Elise

Mid laner Rookie: LeBlanc

Bottom lane JackeyLove: Vengeance Flame-Brand

Support Kitties: Void Prophet - Malzahar
SKT Red Side:
MaRin Top: Hand of Noxus - Darius
Jungle Bengi: Snow Knight-Nunu
Faker in the mid lane: Lulu, the Faerie Witch
Bottom Lane Bang: Metal Master - Mordekaiser
Support Wolf: Braum, the Heart of the Freljord."

If it weren't for the first game, IG's lineup would even make people wonder if they bought peripheral players.

Compared to their weird lineup, SKT's lineup is much more solid.

Noxus, Nunu, Lulu, and Malphite.

Although Braum is a bit weird, he can charge, control the dragon, push towers, counterattack, and start a team fight...

It has all the necessary attributes!

On the other hand, IG, except for Riven and Elise, the other three heroes are not version heroes.

However, with the first game as a precedent, the audience has learned to remain silent.

In the final, it seemed like they couldn’t understand it anymore.

The game officially begins!
Players from both sides quickly came online.

SKT naturally won't change lanes.

Once Iron Man is selected, both sides will inevitably face off normally.

Although the opponent's bottom, jungle and support combination gave them a sense of déjà vu, they would only know everything after the game.

What if the opponent’s proficiency is not high and it is just a half-finished tactical system?

Bang was very confident in his Iron Man, but he was a little unsure about Brand and Malzahar's summoner skills.

Brand has teleport and flash.

Malzahar has flash and weakness.

Just by looking at the hero panel, you can roughly tell which of the opponent's talents and runes are carried.

There must be mana runes.

Malzahar and Brand are more short of mana than Ice Girl and Big Eyes.

In the top lane, the summoner skills used by Noxus and Riven are teleport and flash.

So far, the only Noxus with sprint is Yuan Shen.

The importance of the top laner's teleport is really too high.

Without sufficient proficiency and confidence, no one would take sprinting risks.

Yuan Shen was not afraid at all when he was stuck in Q online.

Although Noxus is also strong in this version, beating Riven still depends on your skills.

If Riven is on CD and drags the game, it is easy to kill Noxus who has no displacement.

Riven with Doran's Blade and one red is facing Noxus with cloth armor and five reds.

Yellow and blue runes are mostly armor and health.

The defensive attribute is maxed out.

This also means that when facing Yuan Shen's Riven, MaRin was fully prepared to be beaten and did not want to resist.

In the eyes of the audience, such a choice is undoubtedly a sign of cowardice.

But in Yuan Shen's opinion, MaRin made the best choice for the current situation.

Iron Man was chosen in the bottom lane, so the jungler is destined to play protection and control the dragon.

The selection of the hero Iron Man is actually contrary to the version concept of the top lane core.

However, Iron Man himself is a top lane hero, and doing this is just putting the top laner in the ADC position.

Essentially, it is no different from playing as a jungler Olaf or playing as a mid laner Riven.

Facing Riven who blocked her Q, Noxus had almost no ability to fight back.

With three small displacement skills, Riven will not lose even if she fights to the end with Noxus.

MaRin was also quite smart. He learned Q to kill three melee soldiers and then stood together with the ranged soldiers.

Although Riven has the advantage in blood exchange, due to the AOE damage, the line of troops has inevitably pushed towards the red tower.

With five bottles of red potions, Noxus doesn't care about the loss of blood at all.

In the top lane, Riven had the upper hand.

But the director's camera was focused on the bottom lane from the very beginning.

Iron Man eats the Frog alone, and the jungler opens the red buff and clears it down.

Basically, all the iron man routines are like this.

However, this is the first time that the red team chose Iron Man.

In the past, the blue team would grab it directly.

Tienan is chosen to be the big brother.

However, after going online, Bang experienced the pain that Jack experienced in the previous game.

Malzahar and Brand's pushing abilities are not inferior to those of Big Eye and Ice Girl.

They finally cleared the minion line, and the effect of their Relic Shield wore off, but Brand and Malzahar had already disappeared.

At this moment, the audience saw an extremely unusual scene.

After brushing the red buff, the spider directly chose to invade!
The red team's blue buff was taken by Brand.

Before the SKT players could react, the level 2 Brand had already arrived at the bottom lane with a fresh blue buff.

Under the protection of his teammates, Brand also got the blue buff.

In IG's upper jungle area, Rookie also set up protective wards.

It's very uncomfortable for Ahri to fight against Lulu.

Whether in the early, middle or late stages, Lulu's ability to clear lanes and protect will make Ahri cautious.

However, the lane control in the top lane is enough to ensure that Spider's jungle area is not invaded by Nunu.

IG started with three buffs, one of which was a blue buff, which was given to Brand in the bottom lane.

The mana recovery increase is too obvious for a hero like Brand.

Skills can be used to push the line and consume the enemy without any scruples.

The scene in the bottom lane was an exact replica of the previous game!

As fiercely as Bang and Wolf suppressed the opponent with Ice Girl and Big Eyes in the last game, this game was just as difficult.

Moreover, even last-hitting the tower is extremely difficult.

Malzahar and Brand’s hands are just too long!

At just level three, Bang was exhausted to the point where he had to go home.

However, because he had prepared in advance, Bang had teleport and was protected by Braum, so he was not too worried about being attacked by Spider.

By guarding the wards well in the bottom lane, Jack doesn't have to worry about being ganked by Nunu from behind.

"Both sides' bottom lanes...are they competing in development?"

Miller was a little confused.

In the previous game, several fights broke out in the bottom lane in the early stages.

SKT wanted to use the bottom lane as a breakthrough point, forcing Lee Sin to come down to protect, and even Karma was affected.

But in this game, it seemed that both sides were surprisingly peaceful, and there was no point of conflict at all.

SKT, it seems like they have no solution to their bottom lane situation?
Of course, with Braum around, it’s not easy for Spider to cross the tower.

In the top lane, Noxus has already knocked out two blood bottles to ensure his condition.

MaRin's playing style is so steady that it's sickening.

However, Yuan Shen didn't care much about this.

He faced off against Noxus with three green beans, and compared to that, cloth armor and five reds was just child's play.

Time passed by minute by minute, and among the ten people on the field, Bang was the most tortured.

Brand with blue buff is like a real father to this short-legged hero with no displacement.

And most importantly, these two people's skills are very accurate and their proficiency is definitely not low.

This bottom lane combination was definitely prepared by IG in advance.

While resisting the pressure and farming the tower damage under Braum's protection, Bang couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual appreciation for IG.

IG thought of everything they thought of.

Although the two sides choose different heroes, they reach the same destination and the principles are the same.

"Brother Xingxiong, come on, we have to fight hard."

After Bang returned to the city for supplies, he teleported back to the line and started to mobilize people directly.

If you are facing a hero with long Poke in the laning phase, the only thing he can do is to die slowly if he gets beaten.

The lower your health is, the less you dare to fight, and the less qualified you are to fight back.

We must fight while this wave is in full condition.

Even if you cannot kill the opponent, you can still lower his condition so that he dare not consume at will.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Bengi responded.

Although he always subconsciously leans towards the middle lane, Faker's Lulu obviously doesn't need him.

After protecting the ward, Bengi went straight to the bottom lane.

……

"The other side has handed over their teleport, Bingquan, come quickly!"

Seeing the full-blooded Iron Man appear under the tower, She Keke shouted the first time.

Kakao also understood and hurried to the bottom lane to provide support.

In addition to farming the jungle, Kakao was always in the bottom lane.

It is imperative to suppress Iron Man and protect Brand and Malzahar.

If Nunu successfully ganks them, it will be very difficult for them to prevent the opponent from taking the dragon.

As for Yuan Shen, Kakao chose to believe him.

The focus of this game is not on the road.

Seeing that Nunu was about to reach the bottom lane, Wolf took the lead in attacking!

After flashing and using Q to slow down Malzahar, Braum strode directly towards Malzahar with his shield raised.

(Version 6.9 changed to the current passive control-free shield, the old passive was to summon bugs)

In order to avoid being stunned, She Keke had no choice but to use Flash.

But Nunu, who was behind, had successfully taken advantage of the vision window and directly threw an ice ball to slow down Malzahar.

Just as Bang stepped forward to deal damage, Brand advanced instead of retreating, using a set of skills EQW to stun Iron Man and then pulled back to create some distance.

If they fight head-on at full strength, they will be at a disadvantage and will have to hold their ground.

It's the same even if there's a spider counter-camp.

Due to Brand's control, Iron Man's output was not achieved. Even though Nunu successfully slowed him down, Malzahar and Brand still had a distance between them.

"It's okay. Fireman isn't in very good condition. They probably won't dare to press so hard."

Bang muttered to himself, but before he could get comfortable for a few seconds, a red square whirlwind rose into the sky.

When Bang saw the light of teleportation, he realized that the Fire Man also had teleportation!
"Come on! We can kill in this position!"

Bang was not surprised but happy. He directly controlled Tienan to walk forward.

Teleporting soldiers, isn't this sending them? ?
The four seconds of transmission time seemed to last a long time.

The three SKT players are already surrounded!
However, when the Fire Man landed, they were greeted with a huge surprise!

Rui Wen!!!

ERWAQA……

A series of combos flowed smoothly, directly stunning Iron Man and then launching a series of combos!
In the river, the figure of a spider emerged, flew into the air and landed directly to join the battlefield! !

At this point, it is difficult to retreat!

Malzahar WEQ attacked and all the attacks were done by Iron Man.

In the last wave, Braum used his flash, so even if WE went all out, they couldn’t save Bang.

Nunu used flash to escape, but Iron Man and Braum were all killed on the spot!

"Riven's support is so crucial!!"

"The two teleports completely overlapped, SKT got fooled!!"

“Hahaha, IG’s fishing was successful!”

"We still need to take the dragon. If we can control the first dragon, IG's rhythm will be completely opened up!"

The morale of the audience in the live broadcast room was greatly boosted.

After taking the first dragon, IG already had a big lead in the early stages!

"mine……"

MaRin really wanted to say something, but he was always trapped under the tower and had to worry about Spider coming over the tower. He had no way of knowing exactly where Riven was moving at all times.

"It's okay, I have a cable...Ashi!!"

Faker was just about to say a few words of comfort when he saw Riven appear in front of him.

And Rookie's Ahri has already rushed to the top lane.

IG's mid and top changed lanes!
"This...Noxus is wearing all armor!"

The doll was surprised.

It is difficult for Ahri to beat Lulu because Lulu has a shield and can turn into a sheep. Not only is she not afraid of your consumption, but she can also use the main Q to push the line.

But when Noxus fights against Leblanc, are you sure he won't be beaten? ?

Can Noxus reach Leblanc?
More importantly, MaRin's Noxus is wearing all armor!!!
"We're changing too?"

MaRin is very uncomfortable.

Ahri's set of skills WQRE directly knocked away almost half of his health!

Originally he could have pushed the troops into the tower, but now he was controlled by Ahri.

"Can not be done……"

Faker frowned.

Lulu can play top lane, but if Noxus hits her, are you sure she won’t be turned into a fool by Spider?
With Iron Man at the bottom, it is clear that the junglers of both teams must protect the bottom lane.

Noxus can still survive in the top lane, but if he is in the middle lane, he will definitely be targeted by Spider.

"IG's lane change directly revitalized the entire situation!"

"Tianxia is in a tough situation. Brand and Riven each got a kill. It was already difficult to fight. With Tianxia's death, we lost two waves of soldiers. The dragon is still gone..."

"Not only that, don't forget how SKT beat the Iron Man in the last game."

Wawa looked at his partner expectantly, and Miller quickly responded.

"You mean... crossing the tower?"

"That's right, wait until Malzahar reaches level 6!"

After Wawa finished speaking, the audience in the live broadcast room instantly understood.

Although SKT has been prepared, what can Braum do?

The lower jungle area was completely controlled by Spider with the arrival of Riven.

If Nunu wants to keep the bottom, he must give up jungle farming!

Moreover, Riven can completely withstand the damage from Lulu and force the line into the tower to provide support first!

When Brand and Malzahar reached level 6, IG started their offensive rhythm again!

Spider followed the soldiers into the field, and in the first wave he directly destroyed Braum's security door and ultimate move.

After Spider flew up to avoid damage and Braum's security door expired, Sheko pressed his fingers continuously, started with RW, and directly controlled Iron Man in place!
Brand WEQR, threw it out instantly without any thought.

Combined with the damage from the spider, Iron Man died on the spot.

From beginning to end, Bang had no chance to fight back.

Nunu, who arrived late, looked confused.

Wolf looked annoyed.

He can't protect anyone.

IG's actions are really too fast.

Their cooperation was very skillful, as if they had done it thousands of times, and no one knew who was so miserable.

……

"Nice!!"

In the hotel, Imp patted Wei Shen's belly happily.

They practiced tactics with IG for a week, forcing him to withstand the pressure for a week.

Now that the World Championship is over, he will play Iron Man instead.

However, seeing SKT's bottom lane being beaten like this, Imp was extremely happy.

"What a scoundrel..."

Although she has experienced that feeling personally, Hirano Aya is still satisfied with her invention.

In his opinion, SKT's Ice Girl Big Eyes is just a poor imitator.

The Fire Horse combination that he and Homme have perfected together is the best way to deal with Iron Man! !

However, there seems to be room for improvement.

……

"Iron Man can't stay here any longer. Brand and Malzahar have such a good teamwork, and with Elise's ability to dive over the tower, Braum alone can't hold on."

Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The hero Iron Man cannot do without last-hitting.

But as long as you make the last hit, you will be consumed by the brand man.

Their combination is completely in line with the version.

Nunu + Iron Man control the dragon, and Lulu can both provide protection and increase the team's mobility.

Cooperating with Noxus, he has strong capabilities whether it is a four-one split push or a team fight.

However, although the lineup seems to be in line with the version, it is very difficult to use in practice.

IG's lineup is so targeted!
Two mages, Iron Man, and Spider Knunu.

Even the mid and top positions were completely revitalized because of a lane switch!
There is almost no room left for Nunu to do anything now.

It is even more impossible to catch him.

Nunu + Noxus, catch Leblanc?

Isn’t that a dream?

Rookie is very proficient in playing LeBron James. After gaining control of the top lane, Nunu even has to be careful when clearing the jungle.

We couldn't even win the fight in the bottom lane.

Without a strong first move like Malphite's ultimate or Titan's QR, he can only be tortured endlessly by Brand and Malzahar.

At thirteen minutes, IG directly pushed down the bottom lane tower and took the second dragon.

The economic gap between the teams has widened to three thousand!

For a team that chooses Iron Man to gain an advantage in the early and mid-game, this is completely unacceptable.

The bottom lane defense tower was destroyed and Bang was finally freed.

Lulu goes to the top to guard Leblanc, and Noxus goes to the bottom to guard Riven.

SKT quickly made adjustments.

However, although only a few minutes had passed, the situation on the field was completely different.

Riven has already made Black Cleaver and Mercury's Boots.

The second greed has also been half done.

As for Noxus, he had just made the Burning Gem at this time, and with the Mercury's Treads enchanted with Homeguard and Purification, he looked extremely shabby.

I am only three hundred dollars away from synthesizing Black Cleaver.

There was no other way. In order to avoid being killed by Ahri, MaRin could only return to the city frequently.

The purpose of enchanting Home Guard is also to speed up the return to the line.

However, this is not a big problem.

MaRin knew very well that if he was given ten minutes to develop, he would be able to catch up.

The crux of the problem is that the development of the bottom lane is really poor.

While stuck in the minion line and last-hitting in front of the second tower, MaRin kept thinking about ways to break the deadlock.

But at this moment, Riven, who had cleared the Gromp, climbed over the wall and prepared to force the troops into the second tower.

Looking at the line of soldiers about to enter the tower, MaRin took a deep breath.

Nunu has already shown up in the upper lane. Based on his understanding of Yuan Shen, Riven will definitely cross the tower this time!

In this situation, the safest way is to call on Faker to teleport to save him.

But after looking at the soldiers in the top lane, MaRin gave up the idea.

The mid and top laners have their own rhythm, and he can only rely on himself to resist this wave.

If handled properly, it may be a chance to turn things around!

MaRin was fully focused, constantly simulating how Riven would cross the tower to kill him, in order to make the correct response.

When going over the tower to kill, the most feared thing is being hit by too many control skills and being killed by the defensive tower too many times.

And Noxus's control skills...

Ruthless iron hand!

He will definitely trick me into giving out E!

MaRin instantly understood the core point of this confrontation.

Sure enough, when the troops advanced into the tower, Riven did not hesitate at all and went straight into the tower.

"I've crossed that line!"

The ultimate skill, Exiled Edge, is activated, the energy of the Holy Spirit Rune is filled, and the complete form of the Gale Greatsword appears!

"coming!"

MaRin's heart tightened, and then her eyes were filled with horror.

After activating R, Riven rushed forward without any hesitation!

Start with AQA and use Broken Wing Dance continuously.

The first Q goes to the left, the second Q goes to the right, followed by normal attacks, and Noxus's health drops rapidly.

MaRin didn't hesitate at all, AWA instantly added three layers of Blood Rage, and the E skill was ready at all times!

He wanted to interrupt Riven's Q3 to avoid being knocked away.

Then EQ will hit and restore health, so that you have a chance to kill!

With the output of the defensive tower, Riven's health also dropped quickly!
However, before he could make a move, Riven raised her greatsword high.

Soul-shaking roar!

W followed by Q3, Noxus was knocked flying, and Riven's second stage of R poured out instantly!

Blast!
Yuan Shen used E in the opposite direction to get out of the tower without any fluctuation in his heart.

"Mistake?"

MaRin pressed the flash button frantically.

But the next second, accompanied by a golden light, Noxus's body appeared hundreds of yards away.

"Minion damage!"

MaRin felt hopeless in an instant.

The output of four ranged soldiers and a cannon cart just cleared his health.

And Riven only had three layers of Blood Rage from beginning to end.

If he can E to cut off Riven's Q3, QAR and use Bloodfury, Riven will definitely die.

But now, Riven still has nearly 700 health points and shows no signs of being replaced.

"IG-Yuan (Exiled Blade) killed SKT-MaRin (Hand of Noxus)!!!"

Single kill! !
Every wave of solo kills in professional games disrupts the rhythm.

The resurrection time and travel time together will result in at least one minute of loss of development and roaming time.

In professional games, every minute and even every second is very important. It is very likely that your teammates or yourself will be killed because you are one second late in placing a ward or going online.

MaRin was killed in this wave, making SKT's already unfavorable situation even more serious.

Because Riven still holds the teleport in her hand.

The duo didn't dare to defend the tower at all.

After Riven returns to the city for recuperation, she can be double-teamed at any time.

And this is just the impact within the game.

MaRin was killed again.

I was killed once in the last game.

This game is again.

It’s just that the last game could still be dragged into the late stage, after all, the Captain’s development speed is very fast.

But Noxus...

In the heavy-armored warrior version, the top laner was silenced, and the tactical core Iron Man also collapsed.

There is a normal-developed Leblanc on the opposite side, how to play this? ?

Today's Faker has not yet grown into a complete big devil. Although he has been transforming towards teamwork, when faced with such a situation, he still prefers to rely on his own performance to help his teammates regain their confidence.

However, he is Lulu.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, it was the two older brothers, MaRin and Bengi, who went to comfort their teammates.

But now, MaRin was killed alone and Bengi couldn't even kill the wild monsters.

For a moment, everyone in SKT didn't know what to do.

They didn't know where to make a breakthrough.

"Keep it steady and develop."

Faker opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say helplessly.

It is difficult for a team playing with Iron Man to drag the game into the late stage.

Because this hero's role in the mid-to-late game is much worse than that of a traditional ADC.

Fortunately, there is no ADC on the opposite side. If the magic resistance can be stacked up, we can still beat IG's lineup.

Comprehensively shrink the defense line, with the two towers in the third lane as the core, and appropriately give up some jungle resources.

SKT's ability to operate in disadvantageous situations is the best in the world.

However, IG's style of play in advantageous games is also equally fierce and unparalleled.

"We can't delay!"

Fumanduo clenched his fists unconsciously.

When playing against SKT, IG cannot play operations well.

You can't deny this.

The first to play operations was LCK.

Even if they are at a big disadvantage in the early stages, you can often see LCK teams holding on to the opponent's economy.

Layers of vision control, tacit team defense, flexible line switching operations...

SKT's defensive resilience made it difficult for IG to break through the situation for a while.

Even if they pushed the tower and took the dragon, SKT was able to gain advantages in other areas and make IG pay the price.

In the absence of ADC, IG's lack of advancement ability once again emerged.

With Lulu and Malphite guarding the tower, the defense tower is difficult to destroy.

The game entered a long period of development.

In the 23rd minute, IG team's economic lead reached 4,000.

After nearly ten minutes, the economic gap was only about one thousand.

This economic gap is acceptable to SKT.

However, the gap in the top lane position has become SKT's biggest hidden danger!

The four IG players set up vision around the Baron, and SKT had no way to stop them.

The bottom lane defense tower cannot be defended by Noxus alone.

Relying on Lulu to guard is a pipe dream.

While SKT was pinned down in the middle lane, Yuan Shen started to move again.

Pretend to support the front battlefield and trick Noxus into providing support on foot.

Block the vision, start with W, RQA, then greed resets the normal attack, AQ, E into the inner circle of Noxus's Q, and use the second stage of normal attack, R, to attack directly!

Although there are problems with the skill combo, in this situation, the overwhelming equipment allows Riven to do whatever she wants.

Yuan Shen knew very well what skills to use and when.

Another solo kill!

As soon as Noxus died, the four IG players immediately turned towards the Baron.

Clearing vision, crouching in the grass, pretending to attack the dragon, the top laner continues to split and pull.

After a series of combined punches, the SKT players were stunned.

BYD, why are you so skilled?

How many times did you do it?

With Riven pulling from the side, IG was slow in killing the dragon but still managed to control it successfully.

When the health was at 2500, he stopped and tricked Bengi into flashing down to the dragon pit to steal the dragon, and then captured both the man and the dragon.

This is not the first or second time that IG has carried out sting operations.

After taking down the Baron, IG's only weakness, the ability to push, was made up. Coupled with Riven's solo push, SKT's defense that had lasted for ten minutes was instantly broken, and they were defeated step by step.

After barely holding on for five minutes, SKT was forced to start a team fight.

Malphite's ultimate was used on Riven, and all of SKT's output skills were given to Riven.

However, after triggering Bloodthirster and completing a whole set of skills, Riven flashed away with four layers of Bloodfury without looking back and plunged into the jungle.

His skillful escape ability made the LPL audience smile knowingly.

MaRin could only watch Riven go away, and then was blasted into pieces by the AOE of the IG team.

In the 32nd minute, the SKT base exploded.

Final, one to one tie!
　There will be one update today, and it will not be divided into chapters. I feel like writing it, and I guarantee that each chapter will be over 10,000 words!
