Chapter 185 - Dinghaishenzhen Thief

"Take off this spider."

The doll was amazed.

Yuan Shen’s Spider chose the most violent outfit style.

This is different from the current most popular version of Runic Echo + Liandry + Ice Staff style. In order to increase the fault tolerance rate, Spider will also add equipment such as Bird Shield and Randuin in the later stage.

There are a lot of pure output spiders in casual games, which are the best weapons for bullying weak opponents, but in professional competitions, almost no one does so.

Again, the tolerance rate is too low.

The rhythm in professional competitions is different from that in RANK games.

In a ranked game, since the frequency of kills is very high, if you get a few kills, the enemy can also get a few as long as you are not at a great disadvantage.

The advantages are offset.

But in the game, as long as I get two or three kills, I will take off completely.

"This Victor's ice staff keeps adding shields and speeding up. It's impossible to fight him!"

After hearing the factory manager's complaints, the EDG team realized the seriousness of the problem.

They saw Victor use the ice rod.

Just looking at the equipment, what can a tanky Viktor do?
Can he kill people with his flesh?

Stop being funny!

Why don't you play alchemy instead of ice staff?
If Ye Fu died, the whole body would be affected.

After Viktor pushed the line, he went straight to control the Rift Herald with Spider.

EDG took the second little dragon.

With the enhanced buff of the vanguard and vision set at all the key locations that could be caught, Zzitai began to push the line unscrupulously.

The hero Maokai is really powerless against an opponent like Viktor who can pull infinitely.

What is Advantage Operation?
After gaining the advantage, knowing what to do can make the snowball roll in the most scientific and safest way, which is advantage operation.

EDG is very good at this kind of operation.

During S5, Abu has been emphasizing operational play.

But EDG's operations are different from LCK's.

EDG is sometimes very hesitant and needs someone to stand up and make firm decisions. If no one dares to make decisions, things will be slow and indecisive.

IG is different. IG's operations are based on constantly engaging in small-scale team battles to disrupt the opponent's operating rhythm.

Competing in operations and rhythm, this is what IG is good at.

As for how to operate after the top, mid and jungle gain an advantage, IG is very familiar with it.

From the S5 Summer Season to the World Championship, Yuan Shen was the absolute core of IG.

The operation in the upper half made Zizi live a very comfortable life.

Even dogs don’t play with big trees!
Two minutes later, Viktor single-handedly pushed down a tower in the top lane and earned the gold for the tower.

And EDG also responded.

EDG moved the bottom lane duo to the middle lane to develop on the shortest line. If they didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, there was almost no possibility of a fight.

With Morgana and Annie, it is very difficult for IG to cross the tower.

Annie has a strong ability to clear lanes, and one QW can clear a wave of soldiers.

Karma switched to the top lane, clearing the lane and farming with Viktor.

As the lane switching operation rhythm began, the focus of IG's vision control also shifted from the upper jungle area to the lower jungle area, always focusing on Zzitai's Viktor.

The game has entered the mid-game. If Spider and Crocodile can't find any opportunities, they can only give economic support to Viktor.

EDG had two little dragons in hand and was not too worried.

Although IG now has the advantage in the bottom half, it is not easy to take the dragon.

The middle lane is short and is protected by a defensive tower, so it is not a big problem for Annie to defend the tower alone. Morgana can follow Nidalee around and do things, which can be said to have greatly liberated the jungler and support, and the frequency of roaming is also higher.

This is how EDG plays.

The jungler and support work together, and the ADC withstands pressure.

Deft is very familiar with this kind of game.

EDG wants to target Zzitai's Viktor.

But after several attempts, they didn't find any opportunity.

Victor noticed their movements from an unknown distance away.

IG has invested too much in vision.

It's like endless weeds, after you cut one wave a new wave will appear.

Morgana made a lot of money just by removing the wards.

But if we don't catch him, this Viktor will soon take down the bottom lane tower.

Four-one split push, four-one split push again!

Since last year, IG has been using this tactic, winning many games and reaching the world championship.

It’s the same this year!

Whether it is Yuan Shen or TheShy, even Zizi, the worst top laner in IG's history, can master this style of play.

On the court, the initiative was completely in IG's hands.

If you want to fight, fight. If you don’t want to fight, Viktor can carry the team alone. EDG needs at least two people to restrict Viktor.

You can’t catch him, and you can’t chase him to death.

Even Viktor couldn't use his flash.

Even if EDG has the advantage, going three against four head-on is courting death.

It can be said that if Victor gains the advantage, he can create space for the rest of the team to develop.

Jack's development has slowly caught up.

Now, EDG wants to take the initiative to fight and break this suppressed operating situation.

Lucian is now in his strongest period, and the combat effectiveness of Crocodile and Spider is also at its peak.

Logically speaking, if EDG takes the initiative to seek a fight, it would be easy for them to start a fight.

However, when EDG actively asked for a fight, it was IG that refused.

This is also the reason why many teams hate IG so much.

When they want to fight, IG is more aggressive than anyone else.

Jack played Draven, Rookie played Leblanc, the top laner took out a Kennen and Rambo from his underwear, and the jungler chose Graves and Spider. The game was thrilling.

IG, who can play the operation game, is really inhuman in this version.

EDG's rhythm was completely suppressed.

EDG's communication has always been problematic, and now they are even more confused facing this situation.

When it comes to killing the dragon, IG doesn’t care.

Isn’t the middle lane tower nice?

It’s only the third little dragon. I’ll give it to you if you want it.

So what?
EDG was anxious, but it was useless.

IG is practicing Tai Chi, and it is booming...

The hooligans are not to be feared, but the hooligans who understand military tactics are to be feared.

When even the reckless guys start to pull the strings in operations, what advantages does EDG still have?
"This situation is so familiar."

Wawa felt a little emotional. The previous LPL team was in such a mess when playing against LCK.

There are only two outcomes.

If the opponent's support hadn't been faster, we would have lost the fight.

Either the fight was won, but the game could not be ended.

The opponent always finds a way to slow down your offensive rhythm.

Because the opponent's top laner can use his own strength to contain the opponent and buy time for the team to develop.

We will wait until LCK feels that we are ready to fight and can win before we fight you.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The LPL teams are like a group of rangers, and the LCK teams are the regular army.

LPL may win in one-on-one situations, but in teamfights, 6v6 situations, LPL is always the one that suffers. As for why it is 6v6 instead of 5v5, it is because the role of the coach is also very important.

Most of the time, the coaches and analysis teams of LPL teams are also lagging behind.

EDG is still relatively sound, but IG's coaching and analysis team are actually not as perfect as those of LCK.

This was clearly the case with EDG in this game. They didn't want to fight, so IG always found opportunities for them.

I want to fight, but I can never find IG's flaws.

And all this is because of this spider.

In other words, the top, mid and jungle combination of Spider, Viktor and Crocodile are both capable of pulling, operating and fighting!

"This is the role of top players..."

Miller sighed and continued, "Our LPL is now polarized. Many teams have two sets of playing systems. One is the teams with top-level top laners like LGD and IG. They can push and pull with the top laner's 4-1 split. The other is the blue-collar top laners like QG, WE, and EDG. The top laners usually use three mythical heroes like Maokai, Poppy, and Titan. In the mid-term teamfight, they try to end the game. The former's style is more inclined to the LCK."

After Miller finished speaking, Wawa nodded, feeling quite complicated.

These two styles of play also represent changes in the LPL tactical system.

Many teams have made preparations for both scenarios, such as WE, which is a typical example.

957 and Khan's rotation, that's it.

As for IG, it also has two playing systems.

TheShy is the sharpest spear in LPL, even sharper than Yuan Shen last year.

Zzitai's playing style is too oily, just like a veteran.

As for Yuan Shen, he knows a little bit of everything.

RNG's top laner Looper is the type of player who can play a tank to withstand pressure, and can also play a carry-type hero solo. He has a very high cost-effectiveness and can be used for two purposes. It all depends on the coach's choice. He can be regarded as a weakened version of Yuan Shen.

If the top lane position was crucial in S5, then the top lane position in S6, although not as important, is still far more dispensable than in the spring and summer seasons of S5.

Even if you choose three mythical heroes, you can still get a lot of MVPs.

The most important thing for a top laner is to be able to bear the pressure of the entire team on his own when the team is at a disadvantage, to open up breakthroughs for the team, and to create space for teammates.

Solo kills, team fights, and pressure resistance are all meaningless.

Anyone can kill at will in a favorable situation.

Everyone can get into a losing situation by just muddling through the unfavorable situation.

The value of a player can be seen in whether he can stand up and turn the tide when the wind is against him.

Only such players can become the core and backbone of the team, and even over time, they may become the soul of the team and the cornerstone of the team.

In the next ten minutes, EDG still couldn't find any opportunities.

When Pawn faces Viktor, he no longer pursues any consumption and pulling, just needs to develop steadily.

There is nothing much to say, just protect the wheel mother in the later stage.

Seeing that Annie was about to make the third big item and the time was almost up to thirty minutes, IG finally took action.

Force the dragon!
The three-piece set of Annie will bring about a qualitative change.

And now is the peak moment of IG lineup.

After the peak, it’s all downhill. They have to seize this opportunity to end the game.

The fight for the big dragon is the most direct way for the advantaged side to seek battle!

Facing IG's aggressive advance, EDG felt as sick as if they had eaten a fly.

I couldn't find an opportunity before, and now I finally have a chance to slow down and think about waiting for Annie to make a three-piece set before fighting.

But IG doesn't give you any chance at all.

IG's style of play is so disgusting.

Why is Korean operation called the most scientific way to win the game?

It’s because he is too rational!
You team up to push the middle tower, and I team up to push the upper tower.

If you take the dragon, I will kill your wild monsters and catch your top laner.

You take the vanguard and I'll take down your tower.

I'll go in with a white knife and come out with a yellow knife, I'll stab you in the ass...

Don’t fight in a team that you shouldn’t fight, and don’t take on a team that you are not sure of winning. The key point in the early stage is development.

The exchange of resources between opposite halves has always been the norm in professional leagues.

You do a four-on-two attack, and I'll do a three-on-one attack.

Even if there is a loss, it cannot be too big. The operation can only continue within a generally acceptable level.

What's the point of running the business while losing endlessly? Are you really waiting for Kassadin to reach level 16 and the opponent's base will explode?

However, EDG had no intention of killing the big dragon, they felt they could win!

Because IG's advantage has never been big enough to directly attack the dragon.

What is a big dragon?
The output is not low, and it has control to knock the enemy away and can lower the status.

Most importantly, there is also a corrosive saliva that can reduce the hero's dual resistance!
This is the most disgusting.

Without a big enough advantage, it would be fine if you just stole the Baron, but do you dare to fight him head-on?

But how could IG make a mistake in vision?

"Be positive in your attitude."

After hearing Yuan Shen's words, Ziti decisively pressed the transmission button.

Without Viktor in the front, the other members of IG will not be able to hold on.

In this case, it is no longer meaningful for him to carry the team alone.

His speed in demolishing towers is not fast.

This is why solo lane heroes and core heroes are counted separately.

For a core hero, he can destroy towers quickly or slowly, but only in team battles can he show his greatest value.

After developing for nearly thirty minutes, his equipment became extremely luxurious.

Full stack of heirloom Hex Core Prototype, Ice Staff, Abyssal Scepter, Mercury's Treads, Zhonya's Hourglass, Useless Rod...

A team fight is about to break out.

Morgana and the tree rushed in without caring about anything.

Nidalee and Annie are in the middle, and Karma is at the end.

Annie's ultimate hunting skill was activated, which increased the team's movement speed by 50%. Before IG could react, EDG had already rushed to them.

Viktor, with Zzitai, cooperated with Thresh to block outside the dragon pit.

And Lucian, the spider crocodile, has reduced the dragon's health to less than 3000.

"Retreat first."

Yuan Shen didn't have any reluctance and chose to pull away.

With the little spiders resisting damage, their status doesn't drop much.

However, if you insist on fighting in a team battle while enduring the damage and debuff of the big dragon, then you are really asking for trouble.

But the debuff on your body cannot be eliminated so quickly.

Fortunately, Zizi was blocking the entrance to the dragon pit, so he could delay for a while.

Although the damage of Viktor with this equipment is not very high, it is not low either.

One AEQA and the half health of the squishy guy will be evaporated on the spot.

Everyone in EDG unanimously set their sights on Victor.

However, it's too hard to kill!
The armor is over 200, with Zhonya's Ice Staff and Mercury's Boots, the output is simply not enough.

Viktor's Q comes with a built-in shield, and there is also the bonus of Thresh's Bird Shield Knight buff. His health is over 2,000. His ultimate skill triggers the ice staff to slow down the opponent infinitely, and he can also speed himself up. Once W is released, he can restrain the advance while dividing the battlefield.

Because he was too concerned about Viktor, Jack's Lucian used his ultimate to steal damage in the dragon pit.

On the EDG side, Deft also activated the ejection.

This version of Annie has been strengthened once.

The ricochet of the W skill can trigger a critical hit.

With W turned on and fired randomly, the output of Annie, who has almost three pieces of equipment, is explosive.

However, just as the Wheel Mother approached...
