Chapter 145 - Stairway to the Gods (Part )

Excited, shouting!

The audience and commentators at the scene were even more excited than the players.

Countless people shouted excitedly.

“IG is awesome!!”

"Why doesn't this captain have a bucket?! I'm dying of laughter!"

"The hand speed of this bucket is too fast. How did you practice it?"

"No, I think it's because of the good artillery that we won."

"What on earth did the principal teach IG? How come he is so skilled at firing a cannon?"

……

In the LPL live broadcast room, comments expressing excitement and excitement almost filled the entire screen!
LPL has entered the finals for three consecutive years. This is the first time that they have taken the lead!

In the previous two years, we were either defeated by 3-0 or 3-1, and never took the lead.

LPL has always played the role of a follower.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Royal Club and SKT in S3.

S4's Royal Family and SSW.

The gap is really too big.

The only game that S4 won might have been the one that Samsung White deliberately chose to get the skin.

You should know that the hero Alchemist appeared twice globally in 2014, once when Looper played against TSM and once when he played against Royal Club.

Three years, they have been waiting for three years!
The LPL team finally took the lead in the finals with a strong momentum.

After losing the first game to SKT, many people were afraid to watch the game anymore.

They are afraid of losing.

His usual arrogance and domineering attitude is just a cover-up for his inner extreme lack of confidence.

From the moment the large wave of Korean aid entered the LPL, the LPL was no longer so pure.

If they can't win the championship under such circumstances, they don't know what hope there is for LPL.

Fortunately, IG won two games in a row.

Two to one, just one final push away!
Only veteran players who have watched the game for a few years will understand how meaningful this victory is.

The LPL audience was so excited that they were flooding the screen with messages.

The commentators' faces were also beaming.

With the adrenaline rushing, even my words became more powerful.

“There is a piece of data that I want to share with you.”

Miller spoke before the fourth game started.

"Just now, Riot's official commentary station announced a piece of data, two world records have been broken."

“I don’t know what the record is, but I guess it has something to do with the top laner.”

The doll asked curiously.

"The first record is Yuan's personal record. So far, he has killed all the top laners he has faced in the entire S5."

"From the start of the group stage to now, he has faced off against seven top laners from six teams, and he has killed all of them more than once. In this World Championship, he has played fifteen games and has killed thirty-three times, averaging more than two kills per game."

"With such data, he deserves the title of the world's No. 5 top laner in S!"

Miller told all LPL viewers this exciting data in the commentary booth.

The three opponents in the group stage are TSM, OG, and KT.

In the quarterfinals against KOO.

In the semi-finals against LGD.

Finals, SKT.

There are six teams, including some top-notch top laners!
Acorn and Flame are both top laners in the Korean league.

In addition, this year's LCK's top three, OG's sister-in-law, TSM's Dryus...

Among the seven top laners, five are well-known figures in the Korean league!

The value of these background boards is really sufficient!
Before the game, the three top laners who were highly expected by LCK audiences were supposed to become famous in this S5 era belonging to the top laners and let the whole world see their glory.

However, the sudden emergence of IG overshadowed all their brilliance.

Riot had been planning the version change for half a year, allowing IG, who had been waiting for half a year, to have their own version.

The night sky is full of bright stars, but the bright moon outshines them!

Being born in this era is both an honor and a sorrow for top laners.

The more famous they are, the more outstanding their performances are in their respective regions, and the more valuable they become when they become Yuan Shen's background.

At this stage in the finals, Yuan Shen has already become a god.

Tens of millions of viewers around the world are watching this game.

Everyone was paying attention to this young man who had just turned eighteen.

He is one year younger than Faker, and his future is limitless!

Compared to the LPL region's celebration-like carnival, the LCK region looks gloomy.

After the third game, the forum was filled with insults and criticisms of the players and coaches.

Including KT, which was eliminated in the round of 16, and KOO, which was eliminated in the quarterfinals, they also did not escape the Korean audience.

Even Faker, an iconic figure of LCK, was no exception and was besieged by trolls.

The Korean commentators were also powerless and could only comfort themselves with the excuse that IG had two Korean players.

"IG, with only one game left, will become the biggest winner of S5 and the first world champion of our LPL!"

Miller took a deep breath, and the doll next to him suddenly listened attentively, then his eyes widened.

"The director sent a message that SKT has chosen to make a substitution. The next player to come on is the mid laner EasyHoon."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

In the IG lounge, everyone at IG became serious after hearing the news.

They had not failed to think of this.

I’m just surprised that Kkoma is so daring!
At such a critical moment, putting Faker on the bench?
Although EasyHoon is very strong, I always feel that SKT without Faker is missing something.

Huaxia, it’s already past twelve o’clock.

On Monday, there is basically something to do during the day.

However, many viewers still chose to stay up late to watch the game.

At twelve o'clock, many universities have lost their Internet access.

In 2015, 4G was just beginning to become popular in China, and many people were using 3G networks, where data traffic was very expensive.

But even so, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of countless spectators to watch the game.

In some dormitories, people were determined to watch the final even if they had to pool their money to buy 1 MB of data for one dollar.

What's worse, some people can't watch the live broadcast and go directly to the forum, waiting for other people's text live broadcast, and then they become excited, nervous, regretful, or curse out loud.

Nervous, excited, uneasy, excited...

Various emotions are intertwined.

The current LPL is not so smelly yet, and it has not become fan club-like and commercialized.

The strong take all, the loser eats dust.

LPL viewers only play for real!
Cheering excitedly for a game, arguing with each other for a game.

Only when you fall in love with the game, you will understand this obsession and expectation.

The fourth game will begin soon.

SKT chose the red side.

And IG switched to the blue side.

SKT banned Gangplank, Fiora, and Crocodile.

As for IG, they banned Tsar, Rumble, and Malphite.

SKT did not choose to ban Kakao's well-performing Widowmaker because there was a severe shortage of ban positions.

There is no way that the Captain will be given to IG.

IG is confident that they can handle MaRin's Captain, but they are not confident that they can handle Yuan Shen's Captain.

Crocodiles must also be banned.

This is Ssumda's advice to them, risking his career.

Between the two heroes, Fiora and Ryze, SKT chose to target Fiora.

Yuan Shen's Fiora still maintains a 100% win rate.

SKT dare not let go.

In ten minutes, Kkoma gave them a detailed analysis of the reasons for their failure in the first game.

They used the lane-swapping tactic to quickly get through the laning phase and limit Yuan Shen's development, and the effect was actually very good!
At least before getting the bottom lane kill and the red buff, MaRin had the initiative.

This proves that their tactics were correct.

They simply underestimated how explosive Widowmaker's mid-game rhythm would be, and Kakao's performance completely disrupted their early-game operations.

However, SKT's real pain point lies in Bengi's obsession with the mid lane.

With Gangplank in the top lane and Skateboards in the bottom lane, Bengi chose to gank the mid lane several times.

Kkoma originally thought that choosing a mid laner who couldn't cooperate with the jungler for ganks would make Bengi give up the idea of ​​ganking the mid laner.

But by this time, Bengi no longer had much trust in their top and bottom lanes.

He just wanted to help his Sang Hyuk, and then completely beat Rookie and Kakao in the mid and jungle positions, and then lead the team to victory.

There was no choice but for Kkoma to replace Faker, hoping that Bengi could calm down.

In Kkoma's opinion, IG is not actually much stronger than them.

Even in the other four lanes, they are somewhat inferior to them.

IG's only advantage is in the top lane.

As long as they can limit Yuan Shen's performance, they will be able to rely on better teamwork and coordination in team battles to drag the game into the deciding round!

I have to say, Kkoma has a great way of cultivating players' mentality.

Even at this time, the SKT players did not lose confidence.

The lineups for both teams were quickly finalized.

With IG choosing Ryze first, SKT went straight to picking up Elise and Tristana.

Bengi's signature hero, and Bang's signature cannon!
Since the hero Tristana was developed in the World Championship, it has become the focus of Bang's practice.

Many ADCs have been weakened, with Tristana being the only exception.

Increasing the speed of pushing towers can speed up the pace of the game as much as possible.

With SKT's final pick of Gnar confirmed, the lineups of both teams were finalized.

SKT: Gnar, Elise, Twisted Fate, Tristana, Alistar.

IG: Riven, Lee Sin, Ryze, Skate, Shen.

The lineup has been confirmed, and many LPL viewers feel that it is already a sure thing.

The hero Ryze has never lost since he was used!
In this world championship, Ryze’s win rate is also 100%!

Both Rookie and Faker contributed to this winning rate.

From here we can also see how great the BP pressure of SKT is!
However, as the game progressed, the audience's hearts began to tighten.

Yuan Shen still gained the advantage in the top lane. In less than six minutes, he suppressed MaRin by ten knives and sent MaRin home twice.

However, the disadvantage in the bottom lane is too great!

Without Faker, Bengi's closeness rate with the mid laner dropped to less than 30%.

Under the crazy targeting of Spider, Bang's Tristana pushed down a tower in nine minutes!
Then, change the line directly!
Gnar, who has long arms, can also rely on the first tower to make up for the damage.

Riven could hardly defend the tower against Tristana and Alistar.

The disadvantage in the bottom lane affected the entire situation within ten minutes.

In the middle lane, EasyHoon was not at a disadvantage in the face of the targeting from Rookie and Kakao.

Although his last-hitting ability was suppressed, his steady playing style sometimes made people wonder if this person was the reincarnation of a defensive tower.

As a card, he not only has teleport to supplement the line, but also has two ultimate skills to return to the line to defend the tower!

For a full seventeen minutes, IG did not find a chance to break the deadlock.

After EasyHoon came on the court, SKT showed its strongest defensive form.

With strong resilience and defensive capabilities, it is almost impenetrable.

In the mid-game, the two sides fought several team fights, and IG had a small advantage every time.

But it’s not enough!

In the 32nd minute, Rookie was caught while solo laning, and Shen who came to support was killed on the spot.

Although Yuan Shen single-handedly destroyed SKT's bottom lane tower, he also went over the tower and killed Gnar who was guarding the tower.

But, the big dragon fell.

At thirty-six minutes, the five SKT players with the Baron buff handled the minion line and pushed center together.

With almost no resistance, SKT pushed down IG's second tower in the middle lane.

But in front of IG's highland tower, SKT encountered unprecedented strong resistance!
The two sides were in a stalemate for forty seconds before SKT destroyed the crystal in the middle lane and moved to the bottom lane to clear the soldiers.

During the three-minute Baron buff period, SKT only destroyed one high ground.

And they have super soldiers to deal with in the bottom lane.

Overall, IG did not lose much.

However, Yuan Shen did not relax.

SKT, took too many dragons!

The advantage in the bottom lane allowed them to control three dragons in the early stage.

Although the lanes were changed later, his sacrifice ensured that Jack's development did not fall too far behind, and he also got two little dragons.

But it’s still not enough!
After SKT destroyed the bottom lane tower, they turned around and took down the fourth dragon.

There is only one dragon left to reach the Five Dragon Buff.

The characteristics of the top lane overlord continue to play a role in unfavorable situations.

Combined with the proficiency of A-level Riven, his operation and awareness have reached a level close to 100.

Because of this, he can see the future direction of the situation more clearly.

"We still have five minutes. We can't let them get the five dragons."

Yuan Shen's words did not receive a response from his teammates.

Everyone in IG is doing their own thing quietly.

Every penny must be utilized to the fullest!

In the 39th minute, both sides simultaneously set up vision in the upper half and then started competing near the dragon pit.

along with
As Minotaur flashes WQ into the field, a team battle breaks out instantly!
SKT, which has an economic advantage, is not afraid of head-on 5V5 team fights!

Yuan Shen found Bang’s cannon as soon as possible.

But, it didn't work.

Tristana has W and ultimate, and can blast him away directly.

MaRin's Gnar finally showed his sharp fangs after hiding for four games, and told everyone clearly why he is one of the top three top laners in LCK!

Use E to enlarge and use R in the air, and before Gnar's form changes, he pushes Jack and Kakao against the wall.

Although Rookie used his flash to pull away in time, in front of him were Bang's Tristana and Bengi's Elise!
The magic machine gun suddenly appeared, and the violent damage knocked Bengi flying in less than three seconds.

Damn, Tristana has grown too fat!

The last Q was dodged by Tristana and happened to hit the low-health Spider.

On the other side, Card's blue card cleared Ryze's last bit of health.

Ryze and Spider both fell to the ground.

"Riven is not dead yet, we still have a chance!"

"Shen has used his ultimate skill, he can kill everyone in this wave!!"

"We can kill them! We can kill them! In this wave, all of them must die!"

"Riven!! The last one left!!!"

"Hold on!"

The voices of Wawa and Xiaoxiao were full of tension.

In the LPL live broadcast room, almost no one was posting comments at this time.

Everyone was watching intently, waiting for the final winner to emerge.

In the game, Riven re-entered the battlefield, and all SKT players targeted Riven.

As long as they can kill Riven, they will definitely win this wave!
On the other side, Minotaur paid the price of his life to exchange for Lee Sin and Skateboard Shoes.

MaRin was also crippled and left the battlefield.

In the front, only Riven + Shen are left, facing a low-health Tristana and a nearly full-health Card.

Yuan Shen's heart trembled, and he thought of a bad outcome.

But at this moment, it's too late.

The yellow card was played, and Yuan Shen directly pressed the mercury.

Solved in seconds!

ER flashes and W stuns Tristana, and the second stage of R kills her on the spot.

But Shen, who was low on health, was also killed by Card.

In the river, seven corpses were lying randomly, fully proving how brutal this team battle was.

SKT, only one person left!
But at this moment, Rookie's voice attracted Yuan Shen's attention.

"Teleport!! Gnar is trying to steal the home!"

Looking at the cards on the opposite side, Yuan Shen's heart sank.

What he worried about happened.

Faced with this situation, how could MaRin miss such an opportunity?

Their team fight lasted too long, and the military line that had been handled in the middle lane had already been taken away by the super soldiers.

If he wanted to go back now, he could only kill the card or run back.

After opening the Tab and taking a glance at it for a few seconds, Yuan Shen couldn't help but be speechless.

MaRin gave everything for this home raid!
I sold all my equipment and now I only have four big items.

Black Cleaver, Cannon, Green Fork, Ruined King, and attack speed boots.

I even took some witchcraft potion!
"I can't go back! The cards are so annoying!"

The baby was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Riven finally pulled away and was about to return to the city, but Card used his ultimate and flew directly to Riven's side.

Although he died, he also cut off Riven's last chance to return to the city.

When Riven teleported to the ground, Gnar had already destroyed the crystal to the point where only 100 health was left.

There is no miracle...

Jack, who is the fastest to be resurrected, still needs seven seconds.

As Gnar's basic attack landed, IG's crystal exploded.

In the 41st minute, SKT managed to pull one point back.

The two sides were tied at 2-2.

In the commentary booth, Wawa sighed, and the entire competition venue was filled with cheers for SKT.

"I have to say, this is already the best match in this year's World Championship."

"It was a 5- tie. I think this is the best BO in history. Both teams are evenly matched and have done their best in this version!!"

Miller took a deep breath.

Even as a commentator for LPL, he had to cooperate with SKT's big heart and solid operational strength.

The MVP was also announced on the big screen.

EasyHoon's Card won the MVP with a record of 7-1-4.

Yuan Shen's record is 8-1-3...

“I think this MVP is still right, but Bang’s performance was also very good. Tristana’s pace in pushing the tower was too fast.”

"Bengi is also crucial. IG's bottom lane is still a little weak."

Xiaoxiao shook his head.

IG's bottom lane has never been strong.

Not when he's around.

It still doesn't work even after he left.

If Bang's rhythm is not so fast, Riven with complete equipment in the top lane can easily pick on Gnar.

Even though Riven does not have an advantage in the hero matchup.

But for this kind of thing, it’s all about the ID.

"IG come on!!"

"IG come on!!"

"IG come on!!!"

The international students who came from far away shouted at the same time!

The principal, who was still eating a hot dog in the front row, had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he is worried about IG.

On the other hand, he is also proud of his decision!
If LPL really won its first world championship, he couldn't even imagine how much traffic and popularity it would generate!
Money means nothing to him, but he wants to prove himself!
Prove your strength and prove your vision!
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heated.

The overwhelming momentum was heard clearly by everyone in IG even in the lounge.

"I... don't want to lose!!"

In the deciding game, Rookie's mentality was a little unbalanced.

Got Ryze, but didn't carry the game.

He felt very guilty.

EasyHoon's Card crushed him in the mid-term rhythm.

He grabbed Ryze, but it didn't have the desired effect.

"Why don't you let me go? Haven't we been prepared?"

I can't sit still anymore.

It’s not like they didn’t think about it, SKT also has a way to deal with Iron Man.

And they responded as well.

Zzitai replaced Rookie, and the blue side chose Malphite first to trick SKT into getting a double mage combination in the bottom lane.

Then give Tienan to Yuan Shen.

As for the attitude, I still have to play top lane.

Yuan Shen can go to the middle lane with Iron Man.

"It's not easy to play. The opponent may not use Gangplank. Other heroes..."

Fumanduo shook his head.

Zizi is just looking for death when facing MaRin.

With a captain, you may be able to withstand pressure and drag the game into the late stages, but if you play something else, you're likely to be outclassed.

Besides, Yuan Shen’s hit is unknown.

He is not used to winning games by relying on the bottom lane.

"Let's pick Ryze next..."

Yuan Shen suddenly raised his head.

He thought of it!

Zizhi's words reminded him!
At this point, he had forgotten what IG was best at.

……

"We still can't use Tristana. Bang's Tristana fast-push system has too big of an economic gap in the early game, and we can't even take on teamfights in the mid-game. Tristana's ultimate also greatly restricts Riven from entering the game."

"I tried my best. It's great that Riven can play to this level, but there's nothing I can do. The double C is too fat."

After the score was 2-2, many people began to analyze.

Where IG went wrong, where SKT played well.

Before the game is completely over, except for some fishing players, Korean players, swindlers and brainless trolls, few people will rush to stand up and criticize others.

IG has played very well.

From the start of the playoffs to the world finals, they have never lost!
Since the warrior version was updated, IG has exploded with amazing capabilities.

The audience's confidence in IG does not come out of thin air.

Instead, it is built up slowly through victory after victory.

……

For the fifth game, the wait was a bit long.

But the audience still maintained a warm atmosphere.

"SKT!!! SKT!!! SKT!!"

"IG!! IG!! IG!!"

Those who support SKT, those who support IG, those who want to watch all five games, those who want to enjoy the exciting games...

Various thoughts and wishes made the audience cheer loudly, not sparing their enthusiasm and voices at all.

Not only in the venue, but also in the online circles of young people around the world, people are celebrating this game.

LOL is too popular.

There are not many global phenomenon-level games that can develop e-sports to such a level.

Even Dota has discouraged many newcomers due to its high entry threshold.

In China, it is already 1:30 in the morning, but there are still countless people sitting in front of their computers watching the game.

In Internet cafes in various cities, the internet-addicted teenagers who occupied 80% of the computers were no longer playing ranked games. Some were smoking, some were eating instant noodles, and a few were moving stools and sitting in the back to watch the game together.

Two to two.

Such a score makes many people worried.

The strength shown by SKT is too strong.

It’s almost on the same level as IG.

If it weren't for the top lane version, SKT's strength would definitely be above IG.

After four games, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Yuan Shen was definitely a major factor in IG's winning of the two games.

Even in the two games he lost, Yuan Shen performed very well.

Several single kills were not enough to save the team, and this was not Yuan Shen’s problem.

The strength of IG's other four lanes is still far behind SKT.

Especially the bottom lane combination.

Although Jack is strong, he is young after all.

Except for the fact that Shekeke has more competition experience, he is almost crushed by Wolf in other aspects.

In other words, the importance of the bottom lane has been weakened in the current version.

If it were in the previous version, it would be difficult for IG to win two games.

There is no doubt about Yuan Shen’s importance.

Even without Yuan Shen, IG might not have made it here, or even entered the World Championship.

At this time, the background also gave the latest notification.

SKT, changed the mid laner.

After observing the game on the sidelines, Faker returned to the field!

When the two teams appeared on the stage, melodious music suddenly sounded from the venue.

Someone identified the song.

"Silver Scrapes"

Silver marks.

S2 finals theme song.

A classic BO5 battle song.

Three spotlights appeared above the stage, two of which shone on the two teams of contestants.

The third beam shone on the championship trophy in the center of the hall. "IG took the initiative to choose the blue side, so our BP is favorable."

The doll breathed a sigh of relief.

On the court, the BP of both sides started quickly.

IG, in the first move, directly pressed down Tristana.

They had banned this hero before.

After only one performance, Bang gave him a severe lesson.

For a team with a weak top laner and a strong bottom lane, the priority of the hero Tristana is really too high!

SKT followed closely and banned the Captain.

The opponent was Yuan Shen, who had performed the famous scene of Earth and Fire, and also used Jayce to beat MaRin's Captain.

No one doubted that Yuan Shen was not skilled as a captain.

SKT never dared to give this hero to IG from the beginning to the end.

IG’s second move banned Rambo.

Yuan Shen is not afraid of Rambo when laning.

But it is also difficult to defeat MaRin's Rambo.

When it comes to mid-term team battles, the hero Rambo can play a huge role in MaRin's hands.

In the second round, SKT banned Fiora.

Version hero, Yuan Shen.

With these two factors combined, even SKT cannot take it lightly.

Since the Fiora version was revised in the playoffs, Yuan Shen's Fiora win rate has remained 100%.

Pick it and win.

At this critical moment, SKT dare not gamble.

I can’t afford to gamble either.

In the third pick, IG banned Tsar, while SKT chose Crocodile.

At the end of Class 6, there was an uproar at the competition site.

"Ryze is out again? Rookie tried his best in the last game, but Twisted Fate's ability to set the pace in the mid-game is too strong, and Ryze's power point is relatively far back. Facing Tristana's fast-push system, he has no room to develop at all."

Miller was nervous.

SKT openly released Ryze, obviously to let IG grab it.

Since they chose to ban Fiora and Crocodile and release Ryze, it means they must have a way to deal with it.

However, before he could say anything, IG picked it and showed it directly.

Ryze!

In the SKT player seat, Faker suddenly smiled.

"Sang Hyuk, be careful with your facial expressions."

Kkoma patted Faker's shoulder, but the smile on his face never faded.

Ever since Rookie got Ryze, they have thought of many ways to deal with it.

EasyHoon's Card + Bang's Cannon is one of the combinations.

By helping Tristana quickly end the laning phase in the early game, and using Card to catch a single player in the mid-game to limit Yuan Shen's development.

Once Tristana's equipment is complete, he will be able to fight even if Ryze is fully developed.

In addition, not to mention the traditional long-range mages such as Tsar and Syndra who can counter Ryze, even Clockwork can pose a great threat to Ryze in the early stage.

When laning, a sudden QR combo can very likely trigger a flash.

And the one who can best restrain Ryze is...

"——It's just a mirage."

Leblanc, confirmed!
The appearance of Faker's signature hero instantly caused cheers at the scene.

In the commentary booth, Wawa felt everything go dark before his eyes.

Ryze was severely nerfed in this version, although he is still invincible in the later stages.

But it was too weak in the early stages!

Facing LeBron, the mid and jungle will suffer a great loss!

The barrage also had some mental explosions.

After watching the first four games, they had some premonitions in their hearts.

Except for the top lane, IG does not have an advantage in the other four lanes.

The gap between mid and jungle is relatively small, and it mainly depends on the hero positioning.

If they get advantageous heroes, Rookie and Kakao can also take on the responsibility of carrying the game.

Faced with this situation, the BP game between the two sides has become how to ensure the advantage of the mid and jungle heroes.

SKT needs to limit Yuan Shen's hero pool, and IG also needs to limit MaRin's Rumble and Bang's Tristana.

Some people in the barrage have already suspected that Fumanduo’s BP was blown up by Kkoma.

But it’s normal, even Fumanduo was brought up by Kkoma.

How many people are better than their masters?
SKT did not choose to expose their jungler and support heroes.

On the second floor, MaRin was directly locked down by Gnar.

In the last game, MaRin's Gnar played very well.

Although he was still beaten badly in the laning phase, he was still effective in team battles, and his final steal of the base was a stroke of genius that ended the game directly.

What's more, the hero Gnar is capable of fighting no matter who he is facing.

Even against heroes like Noxus Fiora, Gnar can still fight.

Whether it is normal laning or lane switching, he can adapt perfectly and can be said to be one of the most suitable top lane heroes for MaRin.

IG’s second and third floors directly locked down the bottom lane duo.

Wheel mother, be careful.

SKT on the third and fourth floors also targeted Skateboards and Minotaur as a response.

"SKT still has to play in the bottom half. In this game, SKT's mid and bottom lanes seem very strong, and it's not easy for us to play against them."

The doll is already a little pessimistic.

Judging from the first few picks, IG was at a complete disadvantage.

From the moment the blue side grabbed Ryze, it was as if they had fallen into SKT's trap.

SKT used the red team's counter ability to the fullest!

"There are only two heroes left, top and jungle. Now I hope Yuan can choose a suitable hero to activate the overall situation."

Xiaoxiao looked sad and Wawa was also a little silent.

Before the game even started, IG was already far behind in BP.

If this continues, we will have to rely on the five members of IG to perform.

In the fourth hand, IG locked Olaf.

The combination of Ryze and Olaf is very average.

Olaf is strong in the early and mid-game, and paired with the weak Ryze in the early game, they have almost no combat effectiveness.

What's more, the opponent is a very flexible Ahri who has the ability to kill alone in the early stage.

“This one…”

Before Xiaoxiao could finish her words, she saw a hero appear on the field that no one expected.

"Nice to meet you!"

Fairy witch, Lulu!!

"locked!!"

“——!??”

The air at the scene suddenly became warm after a brief stagnation!

“Lulu!! Ryze is top lane?? When did Yuan ever play Ryze??”

"It can't be Lulu top lane. IG doesn't play like that. It can only be Lulu mid lane!"

"If Lulu and Olaf are paired together, the mid-jungle combination will be very powerful!!"

"The most important thing is that Lulu is very easy to beat against Leblanc!!"

In the commentary booth, the three commentators instantly perked up.

"IG, IG is most famous for their swing BP. They used a swing BP in the last game, the most important game. SKT got fooled!!"

"Ryze top lane fights against Gnar, and Lulu mid lane fights against Leblanc. With this Lulu pick, all situations are in tact!"

"A Hand of God!!"

"I'm so excited about this BP!"

In the LPL live broadcast room, barrage of comments instantly flooded the screen.

The last choice was like the finishing touch, instantly reversing the situation!
In the SKT player seat, six people looked at each other.

"Is Gnar good against Ryze?"

MaRin looked very unhappy.

Gnar, it won’t be easy on the line.

The only uncertainty now is how proficient Yuan Shen is in playing Ryze.

"What about the jungler? Should we still choose Wei?"

Bengi turned to look at the coach.

Although he chose Lee Sin as his S3 champion skin, the hero he is most confident in is still Wei.

The double headlock combination of Ahri and Wei is a classic combination that made SKT dominate the world during the S3 period!

Although the mid laner is not Ahri now, it is the more powerful Leblanc.

It’s not easy to fight against Ryze.

But now, the mid and jungle of Lulu + Olaf completely restrained the combination they expected.

"Pick Lee Sin."

Kkoma took a deep breath.

"Save it, Bengi, you have to trust your teammates. If we want to open up the situation, we can only do it in the bottom lane."

The last hero is Lee Sin.

locking.

The lineups of both teams were determined and the audience cheered loudly.

“IG Blue Side:
Top Lane: Wandering Mage - Ryze
Jungle Kakao: Berserker-Olaf

Mid laner Rookie: Faerie Witch - Lulu
Bottom lane JackeyLove: Goddess of War - Sivir

Support Kitties: Twilight Eyes-Shen

SKT Red Side:
Top laner MaRin: Lost Fang - Gnar
Jungler Bengi: Lee Sin
Faker in the mid lane: Leblanc

Bottom Lane Bang: Spear of Vengeance - Kalista
Support Wolf: Minotaur Chieftain-Alistar. "

"Brothers, I have to apologize!! This BP of IG really impressed me."

Wawa finally calmed down, but her face was still a little excited.

"As soon as the blue side grabbed Ryze, we all thought IG would repeat the mistake of the fourth game. In addition, Rookie had been playing Ryze, so we all thought that this Ryze must be the mid laner."

“This is really a show.”

"Lulu, Olaf, Lee Sin, and Leblanc, both mid and jungle players are their best heroes, it all depends on who can seize the initiative!"

The game starts soon.

Ten heroes appeared in Summoner's Rift.

After quickly buying the starting equipment, IG's five-man long snake formation had just been set up when something unexpected happened in the bottom lane.

Five SKT players appeared in the bushes at the bottom lane. Seeing that only Jack was there, Alistar used Q flash to knock Annie away.

However, at this critical moment, a thin layer of mage shield suddenly appeared on the body of the Wheel Mother.

Control offset!

Ahri used her E skill, directly forcing Jack to flash.

"Fuck, that was close!"

Jack was still a little frightened as he controlled the Annie to run all the way to the tower and back to the city.

Not only did they study Faker's positioning, SKT also studied them!

"Mini-Ox didn't flash, and LeBlanc learned E at level 1."

Jack spoke the known information rapidly.

But he has to go back to the city now, and the lower jungle area cannot be defended.

"In a life-and-death game, SKT is fighting so hard. Are they going to force a jungle exchange?" Wawa frowned and said worriedly.

Miller took a deep breath and said, "SKT played very aggressively thanks to their strong lineup in the first-level team fight!"

"If Leblanc learns E at level 1, it's going to be hard to fight her in the laning phase. But Lulu doesn't have the ability to kill either. On the contrary, Jack learned E and got hit by his flash. The laning phase in the bottom lane is going to be hard!"

"SKT doesn't seem to be changing jungle, they want to change lanes."

From a bird's eye view, the audience and commentators can see how much SKT paid in order to gain insight into IG's lane division.

In the early stage, there were five trinket wards, four of which were placed in IG's lower jungle area, blocking all key intersections, allowing them to be 100% sure of IG's lane division.

The game time is one minute and thirty seconds, and the entire army attacks.

"The other side changed lanes successfully."

Jack whispered.

They also arranged training matches with SKT.

In the line-switch game, their winning rate is only 35%.

"It's not easy to fight, but it's not a big problem."

Yuan Shen smiled and comforted him.

In a lane-switching game, exchanging a tower can quickly transition the laning phase and allow the game to directly enter the mid-term rhythm.

The so-called mid-term rhythm means that you cannot get kills in a 1V1 situation, and you must rely on the mid, jungle, and support to roam around and place wards and ganks, and only by using more people against fewer can you have a chance to kill.

The top laner and ADC are basically invisible in the lane swap game. They just have to watch the rhythm of the mid, jungle, and support of both sides, as well as the vision, coordination, cooperation, and line operation of the entire team...

And SKT is the best in the world in this regard.

IG may not even be ranked in the top three.

Same as the previous line change.

But this time, Bengi did not give resources to Gnar.

And Yuan Shen didn't eat many of Olaf's wild monsters.

In this game, the early confrontation between mid and jungle is crucial!
In less than five minutes, SKT pushed down the blue team's top lane tower.

And IG also destroyed the red side's bottom lane tower half a minute later and took control of the first little dragon.

After the defense tower is destroyed, the team economy is distributed among everyone.

This money can be used to buy true eyes and will not affect the pace of development at all.

However, both IG and SKT chose to give the tower money to the top laner.

The heroes in the upper and lower lanes have all reached level three at this moment.

In League of Legends, level three is also a qualitative change.

It has complete combat capability, three small skills, and at worst, it has displacement skills or life-saving skills.

In addition, with sufficient vision, it is very difficult to get a kill in a 1V1 situation if the opponent does not want to die.

The route without the defense tower dare not push the line or take the initiative to attack, otherwise they will be killed by the opponent at any time.

Yuan Shen controlled Ryze and returned to the top lane. Without the protection of the first tower, he couldn't even cross the ruins of the first tower, let alone suppress Gnar through the river.

Although SKT clearly defended the top lane, we cannot rule out the possibility that Bengi would use reverse thinking to gank the top laner.

Fortunately, the soldiers were not controlled by Gnar in front of the tower, so he could still wait.

"IG is at a loss. Although there is no defensive tower to protect the bottom lane, Skateboard Shoes and Alistar are strong. The support can also protect the ADC with wards throughout the game. Even if there is no defensive tower, the pressure is not that great. It is not as difficult as the top lane..."

The doll sighed.

Yuan Shen has taken on too much.

The top laner and ADC can only develop in stealth in this situation.

The support starts to roam, maintain vision, and look for opportunities to catch people with the jungler.

SKT's response was really clever.

"Mid and jungle are difficult to play, so just pull in the support to play mid and jungle and support synergy. SKT can be said to kill two birds with one stone by using the lane swap!"

"That's right. It not only eliminates the disadvantage in BP, but also delays Ryze's development time, killing two birds with one stone."

Miller and Xiaoxiao also noticed it.

SKT's on-the-spot command ability is also stronger than IG's.

Faker has grown from the team's main attacker in S3 to a qualified commander.

IG and SKT began to compete for the rhythm in the mid and jungle.

In just six minutes, the jungler and support of both sides went to the middle lane three times, both trying to find an opportunity to deal with the opponent's mid laner.

And in these waves of confrontation, IG suffered a little loss.

Lulu was forced to use her flash and was sent back home once.

The hero had an advantage, but was suppressed in the laning phase and had only seven last hits.

Yuan Shen controlled the line and developed, and saw all of this.

The reason why they suffered a loss was not because IG handled the situation poorly or because there was a problem with Rookie's personal performance.

On the contrary, Rookie and Kakao's responses in recent waves were perfect, and they turned the situation that was almost collapsed into a nearly 50-50 situation several times.

If the mid and jungle are facing each other in a single match, Rookie and Kakao will not suffer any loss.

Even when the mid and jungle heroes have an advantage, they can still gain the upper hand.

But with assistance, it’s different.

She Keke's ability to cooperate with the other two is still a little lacking.

On the other hand, for SKT, Bengi and Faker are so good that they can wear the same pants, needless to say.

As SKT's new support, Wolf fully demonstrated his world-class level.

Whether it's the battle sense, the overall view, or the on-the-spot performance, Coco will be blown to pieces.

What's more, there is a prerequisite for Lulu to restrain Ahri.

The key point for Lulu to restrain Ahri is to level up and not to develop too much.

The shield offsets the burst of Ahri, the Q skill clears the line quickly, and the W skill turns into a sheep and can prevent Ahri from suddenly entering the field and killing the C position.

If she turns into a sheep, it is very likely that Enchantress will die on the spot.

Mid laner Lulu has high magic power and thick shield.

Half of Ahri's burst ability was destroyed, and her weakest wave clearing ability was also targeted.

Once Ahri is blocked by Lulu under the tower to develop and cannot roam around and set the pace, she becomes useless in the mid-to-late game.

Even though she didn't keep an eye on him for a moment, she still allowed Ahri to successfully set the pace for a few waves.

But if the equipment is not enough to crush the opponent, Lulu can also make Ahri feel disgusted in team battles.

But in the early stages, Lulu had no good way to deal with the flexible Ahri.

Dodge skills by moving, and if you can't dodge them, rely on the shield.

Use Q from time to time to consume the enemy. If you hit the enemy, you will make a lot of money. If you can't hit the enemy, just continue to resist the pressure.

Lulu's rhythm depends on Olaf.

But in this situation, SKT has taken the initiative.

If you want to fight, fight. If you don’t want to fight, leave.

IG can only defend passively.

There were no problems in the first few times, but when Lulu was in the middle of Leblanc's E and Alistar was approaching, Lulu had to use her flash.

Once this flash is used, Lulu won’t dare to make any radical moves for at least five minutes.

Although no kills had been made on the field yet, the tight offensive rhythm and roaming and line changes made the audience and commentators hold their breath.

Everyone knows that in such a high-intensity offensive and defensive battle, as long as there is a mistake at some point on either side, kills will occur immediately.

Whichever side gets the kill first will be able to take advantage of the brief five-on-four opportunity to regain the initiative in the rhythm!
The deadlock did not last long.

Lee Sin quickly reached level 6.

With the ultimate skill of Lee Sin, the ganking ability will undergo a qualitative change.

As long as you enter the field of vision of Lee Sin, whether it is a roundhouse kick or R flash, there is always a way to send you out.

As the saying goes, Q is to get close to you, W is to protect you, E is to see you clearly, and the last one is R to kick you away. If he wants, he may also give you to Yasuo and shout "Yasuo got it".

The perverted psychology of an old monk with a cuckold fetish and a red cloth covering his eyes.

The hero Lee Sin is completely two different heroes in the hands of bronze and king players.

The difference is reflected in all aspects.

The speed and efficiency of clearing the jungle, the success rate of ganking, the combo of skills...

Bengi’s first target was the Annie in the bottom lane.

Since SKT does not have a tower in the bottom lane, IG does not dare to push the line at will.

Once the line is pushed in, if the soldier line is controlled to the front of SKT's second tower, Annie will not be able to eat the soldiers for at least one minute.

Now Jack can only set up wards and control the line with Skates to last hit each other.

Shekeke also placed a ward in the triangular bush, but this also did not escape Wolf's eyes.

After signaling Bengi the specific location of the eye position, a gank plan instantly formed in the minds of SKT's bottom, jungle and support players.

It didn't even take three seconds!
After a year of running-in, their cooperation has already reached perfection.

Shen’s ultimate skill has strong protective capabilities, but on the other hand, he himself has no life-saving skills.

Faced with the strong attack of Minotaur, there was almost no room to fight back.

After Bengi bypassed the field of vision, Minotaur suddenly used W to attack the minions and then used Q to flash and shoot Coco.

At the same time, Skateboard Shoes also rushed up.

The blind monk went around and used his ward to pass over the wall. After taking some damage from the defensive tower, he flashed and used E to break the shield, and then used his ultimate to kick Jack back.

Hero mechanics.

With a simple cooperation, both IG's bottom lane duo died suddenly.

All the kills were given to Bang’s skateboard shoes.

The match between top teams depends on whether or not mistakes are made, and the ability to seize them.

If there are no mistakes and you can't catch it, then you can only rely on the strength of the lineup and the hero mechanism.

No matter how powerful your technology is, you cannot subvert these things because the game data is there.

Therefore, the more top-level the competition, the more important the BP lineup is.

At the same time, the opponent's jungler showed up in the bottom lane, and Kakao immediately came up to put pressure on him.

As a last resort, MaRin had to give up these two waves of soldiers and return to the city to replenish his status.

"Don't be impatient. Stay steady and drag it to the late game. We can only rely on the midfielder to set the pace in the early game."

Yuan Shen comforted.

The late-game abilities of Annie and Ryze are definitely very strong.

As for SKT's lineup, the early and mid-game are their focus.

It is normal for IG to suffer losses in the early stage. Whether it is Skateboard Shoes or Ahri, they are the kind of heroes who have to set the pace, fight and snowball in the early and middle stages.

If she develops normally to the later stages, she will be in an awkward position.

On the contrary, whether it is Ryze or Annie, they have to wait until after twenty minutes to show their strength.

Twenty minutes ago, an economic gap of less than 5,000 was acceptable.

SKT obviously understood this and immediately picked up the pace after getting the first blood.

The second little dragon, control it directly.

After a while, when Lee Sin's ultimate was ready, SKT launched another attack on the bottom lane, and this time even Leblanc came.

The soldiers in the middle lane suffered a loss.

But Faker doesn't care.

He had only one goal, which was to force back Annie, let Skateboard Shoes destroy IG's bottom lane tower, and transfer to the middle lane as soon as possible.

After pushing the bottom lane, Skateboard Shoes immediately came to the middle lane.

At this stage, the auxiliary is completely liberated.

Wolf's Minotaur cooperated with Bengi's Lee Sin to invade the jungle, compressing IG's development space.

In just over ten minutes, SKT was already two thousand economically ahead.

The economy is leading, mainly concentrated in skateboard shoes.

Just looking at the equipment, there is one more yellow cross than the Wheel Mother.

"A two thousand gold gap is acceptable to me. Our lineup is very strong in the late game. What IG needs to do most now is to withstand SKT's attack and try to drag the game to the late game."

Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing with what Wawa said.

"That's right. As a late-game boss, Ryze had no pressure to develop in this game. And if you look at Ryze's last hits, he already had 20 last hits less than Gnar. Just looking at this data, who would have known that this was a lane-swap game!"

Xiaoxiao was filled with emotion.

Even though Skateboards was protected throughout the game, he couldn't last hit as well as Ryze.

It's simply incomprehensible.

However, Yuan Shen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Ever since he started playing professionally, he has attached great importance to basic skills.

In his impression, the future right-hand man Chovy is a man who is obsessed with finishing off the opponent.

No matter what the situation is, you can always suppress the opponent and make the last hit in time.

This kind of basic skills is undoubtedly an important bonus for a professional player.

But if you want to achieve that level, basic skills alone are not enough.

You also need to have sufficient understanding of the military line.

MaRin's understanding of the military line is better than other top laners, but compared with Yuan Shen, it is not enough.

Leblanc needs to roam, Skeleton needs to push quickly, and Gnar is under a lot of pressure in the laning phase.

As for Ryze, he just needs to develop steadily.

In this game, he never stopped placing wards in the top lane.

While ensuring that the frontal combat power of the mid and jungle would not be too unbalanced, Shekeke and Kakao continuously placed wards on the top lane, allowing Yuan Shen to develop very comfortably.

Although the economy on the field is a little behind, Ryze's steady development always makes LPL fans feel that there is still hope.

Although they have never seen Yuan Shen play Ryze.

However, with such development, even if you only know basic combos, you can still play a huge role in team battles.

"It's almost there, hold on a little longer, don't let up!"

The three commentators and all LPL viewers are looking forward to it.

At eighteen minutes, Ryze returned to the city and updated his equipment.

Archangel and Staff of Time, these two items are the most cost-effective for Ryze.

This version of the Archangel only requires the Tear of the Goddess and the Exploding Wand to synthesize.

But even so, being able to have two pieces of equipment at this point in time means that development is really going too smoothly.

Ryze, but he has no kills.

Since the Tears of the Goddess were fully collected in advance, the Archangel evolved into the Staff of Seraph as soon as it was made.

Ryze now has basic combat capabilities two minutes in advance.

During this period of time, kills occurred in the bottom lane and the middle lane respectively.

Bengi's Lee Sin did a lot of things with his ultimate.

Moreover, as a rhythm-type jungler, Bengi actually played himself into a hunger strike style!
The double buffs are given to the two Cs respectively, and sometimes even oneself can be sacrificed in order to create opportunities for LeBron and Skateboards to harvest kills!
After eighteen minutes, the head count was seven to four.

Bengi's record is 1-3-6! !
The third little dragon was also captured by SKT.

LeBron James and Skateboard Shoes each got three kills.

IG's middle lane tower was about to be pushed down by SKT.

The economy is bad, and it’s close to five thousand.

It is very close to the life and death line predicted by the commentators.

However, in Yuan Shen's opinion, even if they were 5,000 economic points behind, it would only be difficult to fight, not to the point where they could not fight.

The reason for the loss in the last game was that Tristana was very powerful in the late game, and the pace in the early game was too fast. By the time Rookie finished equipping Archangel and Staff of Time, Tristana was already unstoppable.

But now, there is still a chance.

　Tomorrow's 20,000 update will be finished~
