Chapter 162 - The competition is changing rapidly, Kindred leads the way

"Xiaohu and Xiangguo are still late. This wave..."

"Maybe Skateboard Shoes lost, but this Qian Jue..."

“Invincible!!”

I remember exchanging a glance with Guan Zeyuan, and both of us saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

The first wave is caught in the middle and the second wave is caught in the lower part.

The tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west has already fallen into the inferior position. The changes in tactics and rhythm on the field are completely in the hands of Yuan Shen.

"Mid laner Xiaohu pushed the line and lost experience, top laner Gnar was afraid of being caught and also lost a lot of experience. Although Uzi got Jack's head, he gave away a double kill... RNG lost a lot in this wave."

In the RNG lounge, the coaching staff and the manager all looked at the person next to them, not daring to even breathe.

Bai Xing, the boss of RNG, is sitting in the lounge at this moment, watching the game between IG and RNG.

"Still... can't win?"

Seeing that IG had the upper hand on the field, Bai Xing clenched his fists tightly.

They had a party at the end of last year, and he still remembers how high-spirited Principal Wang was.

Qin Fen, Zhu Yihang, Principal Wang, Pan Jie, Shuangquan from the Snake Team, and him...

The bosses behind several major LPL teams got together to discuss the distribution of the e-sports pie.

But IG, which just won the world championship, occupies almost half of the share.

There’s nothing we can do, who let them win the championship?
It can even be said that the LPL cake was made bigger by IG!

Pan Jie and Zhu Yihang also contributed a lot.

But his RNG is nothing.

The whole year of 2015 was like a nightmare for him.

After half a year in Royal Club, Uzi left and was replaced by the world's number one ADC Nami. As a result, the team failed to avoid relegation and fell into the LSPL.

In the second half of the year, RNG couldn't even make it to the playoffs and struggled to stay in the league.

That night, he drank a lot of wine before he made up his mind.

Zhu Yihang and Shuangquan talked all night and finally reached an agreement.

Pan Jie's focus was on MaRin, who had just won the runner-up in LCK.

But he still wants to find some players in the country.

We will make great efforts to recruit players and make sure to catch this giant ship that is about to set sail in the new year!
In the training match, RNG’s winning rate is 95%!!
Neither LGD nor EDG are their match.

Even against IG, they have a 60% winning rate.

But once the official competition started, things changed completely.

This Yuan Shen...

Bai Xing's eyes were fixed on Qian Jue, who was about to make a warrior jungle knife and upgrade it to level six.

Why is he so fierce? ?
In this competition, he made a bet with Principal Wang that whoever loses will have to...

"We'll win, boss."

RNG manager, Kwon Damon said with certainty.

“We have put in a lot of effort and we will definitely win!”

"Yes, the puppy has grown a lot now and has the ability and potential to become a leader."

Coach Fly made a solemn promise.

However, the next moment, the voice of RNG team sounded in the lounge, and everyone fell silent.

"If only you had listened to me just now, wouldn't three wards be enough to defend against Kindred?"

Uzi's voice was without any emotion, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of all RNG players.

Xiaohu and Xiangguo both had a bad feeling.

In the previous wave, Xiang Guo finished clearing F4 and was about to go for the stone beetle.

But Xiaohu called him over to help push the line.

Two consecutive waves of rhythm were caused by problems with Xiaohu.

In the first wave, Xiaohu made a wrong judgment, and Qianjue went up and took the first kill.

In the second wave, Xiaohu made a mistake in command, and Qian Jue went around and got a double kill.

It can even be said that if Kindred didn't have straw sandals and that long sword, it would be impossible for him to kill the two people in the bottom lane.

Even if he could be killed, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of Gyrocoppa and Lee Sin.

"mine……"

Xiaohu smiled awkwardly.

He was the core of the team last year, but his current situation is very embarrassing.

Uzi could always find a lot of his mistakes when he won the scrims, not to mention that he is at a disadvantage now.

"Qian Jue should have come up from the dragon pit. Next time, we need to place a ward at this position as well."

Xiang Guo pinged the bush behind the red buff. The placement of the eyes is also worth their study.

Especially in the early stages when vision is scarce, every eye position needs to be utilized to prevent ganks.

"What's the point of saying all this now? Luckily I have a kill, so just attack around me."

Uzi was a little annoyed.

He has tried his best to consider his teammates, but why do his teammates always disobey him?

You don’t have to do anything. Just give me the economy and protect me in team battles, then we’ll win, right?
Is it that difficult?
It’s a pity that Yuan Shen doesn’t know Uzi’s thoughts, otherwise we would have to do a personality analysis.

Altruism, this word doesn't seem to fit in with Uzi.

But it is indeed reflected in Uzi.

You don't need to operate, think, or give orders. Just leave everything to me.

The altruism generated by the protagonist's personality has been completely distorted.

……

"The bot lane is harder now, but the jungle..."

"Qian Jue can even chase Lee Sin and hammer him!!! Xiang Guo could have set the pace in the early game, but he was always supporting, either helping to place wards in the bottom lane or helping to push the lane in the middle lane. Instead, Qian Jue found an opportunity to develop."

I remember sighing.

On the field, in seven minutes, Kindred reached level six.

The number of imprint layers has reached three.

Xiang Guo’s Frog was captured by Qian Jue before he could even take a look at it.

Normal attacks deal 3.75% of current health as physical damage, which is almost half of the passive of Ruined King.

"Xiao Ming, be steady. Your hero is countering the opponent's!" Jack kept saying, and Xiao Ming accepted it humbly.

The two have a very good relationship. Xiao Ming is also good-tempered. As a newcomer to IG, he does not have a rebellious mentality and will not say nonsense like "you are invincible" in a fit of anger.

Yuan Shen is still satisfied with the overall atmosphere of IG.

"Lao Song, let me do the spicy thing!"

After ganking the upper and lower lanes and ensuring that TheShy wouldn't run into any major issues in his solo laning, Yuan Shen's focus shifted to the lower half of the lane.

The confrontation between the middle and lower levels is the focus of this game.

Before the birth of the Big Dragon, there is nothing in the long twenty minutes of the Dragon Pit, which is one of the reasons why the bottom lane has a high status.

The advantage in the bottom lane can control the dragon, but what can you do with the advantage in the top lane?
Invading the jungle?

Stop being funny, there is no one to help you guard the lower jungle area.

In the upper jungle area, there are no strategic resources that need to be fought for in the early stage.

By the time the Baron spawns after twenty minutes, the laning phase will have already ended.

Riot designers are also aware of this problem.

So they added a Rift Herald.

The current version of the Rift Herald can give the hero a pseudo-baron buff after obtaining it.

A hero with this buff can strengthen the soldiers around him, but can only strengthen the offensive attributes, not the defensive attributes.

And it can speed up the return to the city.

The refresh time of the Rift Herald is the same as the red and blue buffs, five minutes.

Although this strategic resource is not as good as the little dragon, it is enough to stop the loss.

IG, which takes the initiative, can give priority to selecting the resources it wants.

RNG can only be forced to exchange resources in the opposite half of the zone.

Kindred appeared in the bottom lane vision with a swagger, and Uzi and Mata could only retreat.

At this point in time, they have no chance of defeating Kindred with this equipment.

"IG controlled the first little dragon, and Xiang Guo also helped Gnar take down the vanguard. The effect of accelerating the return to the city should be very useful for Gnar."

Looking at the situation on the field, Guan Zeyuan felt a little sorry for Looper.

In his opinion, TheShy's operation is not much different from Looper, but the blood exchange with the Undying Yasuo is really too shameless.

"IG's BP was too good, with counters both above and below. The mid lane Corki had no good way to deal with Titan. The status of tanks in this version is inherently higher." Remember to say.

In a match between strong teams, individual player strength is certainly important, but what is more important is the strength of the lineup and the restraint of the heroes.

Poppy's W can block all displacement.

And this point can restrain everyone in RNG.

Gnar's E, Corki, Tristana, Lee Sin, and Alistar's W.

Small displacement per person, but flying is prohibited.

Minotaur's WQ combo was restrained.

If Mata wants to attack, he can only seek surprise...

Seeing Kindred who controlled the little dragon and went back to the jungle in his field of vision, Mata wanted to kill him.

Tristana's record of 1-1 is much better than that of Skateboard Shoes.

The strength of their duo is also stronger than that of the opponent.

Shaking and moving, pulling the distance, suddenly with a WQ, Mata rushed directly towards Skates who was still last hitting.

bang...

A muffled sound was heard, and many viewers couldn't help but touch their foreheads.

This...I'm afraid it will be a bit painful?

"Hey hey hey."

Xiao Ming smiled.

It is not difficult for Poppy's W to interrupt Minotaur's WQ.

The real difficulty lies in maintaining concentration at all times.

If one is caught distracted, the result will be explosion.

Most supports cannot do this because in addition to laning, they also have to look at the overall situation, consider vision, and command teammates, which requires frequent switching of perspectives.

But he can.

IG's commanders are the mid and jungle, Yuan Shen and Rookie.

TheShy usually stays out of the battle, relying on his own performance to open up the situation, and only says a few words when coordinating with the mid and jungle.

When it comes to team fights, TheShy is more of a person who takes orders.

And he only needs to focus on the laning phase.

Jack would also teach him when vision was needed.

Of course, after a while he will have to handle these things himself.

Liberating the laning ability of the bottom lane is IG’s most important role.

"Qian Jue is coming, Qian Jue is coming!"

Xiaohu shouted loudly.

After taking the blue buff, Kindred came to the middle lane again, helped Titan push the line, and then went straight to the bottom lane.

Titan + Kindred, lock the target and save your life.

There is also a skateboard shoe ultimate that can protect the auxiliary...

Just thinking about it makes everyone in RNG feel numb.

"This... Four in the midfield and two in the jungle!! Is this IG's ultimate goal?"

Remember to swallow.

Minotaur has the E skill that can restore health, so the health of the bottom lane is now well maintained, but even under the tower, they can't survive this wave.

"Qian Jue also got the mark on the red buff. Is Xiang Guo going to... catch him?"

A familiar scene appears again.

Kindred has four marks, and with the cooperation of Titan, it is a direct four-on-two attack.

Uzi and Mata had no choice but to return to the city, allowing two waves of soldiers to be eaten by the defensive tower.

After clearing all three groups of jungle in the lower half of RNG, and clearing the vision of the lower half of RNG under the true vision effect of F4, Yuan Shen went back to clear his own Frog.

but……
