Chapter 199-Thunder Prince, Unparalleled Violence

IG on the blue side banned Elise, Nidalee, and Lulu in the third round.

SKT banned Kindred, Graves, and Kennen.

Blank’s Nidalee and Kindred are also signature heroes and he is very proficient in them.

Lulu, on the other hand, targeted SKT's four-protecting-one back lane.

Like EDG, SKT also had the experience of playing four protecting one.

Bang was in such good shape that it was easy for them to win with four protecting one.

But unlike EDG, SKT not only plays four protecting one, but also has other tactics.

"Both teams banned two junglers, but in this case..."

"Too many strong heroes have been released! The support heroes like Alistar, Zyra, and Bard are all out!"

The bottom lane laning in this version is too support-dependent. SKT's bottom lane duo has become a stable carry position this season, and their play style also focuses heavily on the bottom half of the zone.

The core concept of Season 6 is the collaboration between the jungler and the support.

At most, add a mid laner to roam together.

However, Wolf's roaming rate is the second lowest among all supports in this MSI.

The last one is SUP. They exploded in laning phase and the support had no room to roam.

Is SKT going against the meta and not coordinating between the jungler and support?
Impossible, a team that goes against the version cannot reach the peak.

There is only one reason why jungler-support collaboration is frequent but support roaming rate is very low.

That is the position of the jungler and support working together, in the bottom lane.

If the mountain doesn't come towards me, I will walk towards the mountain.

The primary task of the auxiliary is to protect the ADC.

When the jungler goes to gank the bottom lane, that is the coordination between the jungler and the support. When the mid laner goes to gank the bottom lane, that is the coordination between the mid, jungler and the support.

This is SKT's team system this season.

Duke, the top laner, has already drifted away from the team system.

As long as he can distract the opposing top laner, the other four members of SKT can win the team fight head-on.

Even if the opposing top laner leaves, the four SKT players can still create space, giving Duke plenty of opportunities to carry the team.

This is completely different from Bengi's idea of ​​focusing on the middle lane, and this is one of the most important reasons why Blank can be SKT's starting jungler.

You know, even in S5's top-protection system, the starting point of the early and mid-term rhythm is SKT's mid and jungle.

It has to be said that this is a huge change for SKT.

For this reason, Bengi sat on the water dispenser and let Blank, who is more suitable for this new system, start.

There is no way, as long as Bengi is on the court, he will unconsciously move closer to the middle.

Last year, EasyHoon rotated with Faker, but this year, Faker is the only one left in SKT's mid lane.

Since SKT protected the bottom lane, they naturally gave the greatest trust to the bottom lane.

A strong hero?

Just release them all. When both sides have strong heroes, SKT is confident enough to gain an advantage and there is no need to waste ban slots.

"The other side is so confident!"

Xiao Ming was a little angry.

SKT's behavior really disrespected him and Jack.

"Take Jella."

Fumanduo walked behind TheShy.

The hero Zyra is Wolf's legendary hero this season.

In the LCK Summer Finals, Wolf Zyra flashed and used her ultimate to control four people, and led the team to a comeback and win the game as a support.

Respecting your opponent means respecting yourself.

Anyway, Xiao Ming’s Jyra is not weak either, so just grab her instead of banning her.

After a brief discussion, SKT picked up the Art of War and dismantled IG's bottom lane combination of Jhin and Zyra.

Afterwards, the snake girl was directly locked up on the second floor.

This move did not come as a surprise to IG.

Since they chose Zyra, SKT naturally doesn't need to rush to lock down the support and can take strong heroes in other positions first.

In IG's second and third moves, they locked down the swinging Titan and ADC Ezreal.

Titan is good at starting a team fight and playing in the front row, needless to say.

As for the reason why EZ was locked in when there was still ice, it was because...

"The opponent really chose Minotaur!"

Seeing the other party's next choice, Fu Manduo nodded knowingly.

The two heroes, Jyra and Minotaur, are currently T1 level supports.

The functionality of Ice is indeed strong, and it can also be used to start a team fight.

However, ADCs without displacement in this version are very afraid of Minotaur's forced opening.

Except for the wheel mother.

Especially when you know that the opponent will frequently gank the bottom lane, choosing Ashe is undoubtedly inhumane.

Immediately afterwards, SKT's jungler locked Olaf and left the last counter position to the top laner Duke.

"Snake Lady plus Olaf, what a fierce mid-jungle!"

"I don't know what IG is going to use to deal with this. Syndra? This hero has been strengthened in this version, so it should be OK to fight against Cassiopeia."

"So the jungle position... Jarvan IV!? This hero can also be chosen as a jungler, but now it seems that Jarvan IV will be the jungler!! Is it really easy for this hero to beat Snake Lady and Olaf?" Jiede and Wang Duoduo looked at each other. They were a little confused about this game.

As IG's lineup was roughly determined, SKT also revealed its final choice.

Trundle, the Troll King.

Not only can it counter Titan online, but its E skill can also interrupt Prince's E.

SKT used the red team's BP advantage to the fullest!

The lineups of both teams were finalized and were fully revealed to the audience when the heroes were exchanged.

“IG Blue Side:
Top laner TheShy: Deep Sea Titan - Nautilus
Jungler Yuanshen: Prince of Demacia - Jarvan IV
Mid laner Rookie: Dark Sovereign - Syndra

Bottom lane JackeyLove: Explorer-Ezreal
Support Name: Rise of Thorns - Jyra
SKT Red Side:
Duke Top: Trundle, the Troll King
Jungle Blank: Berserker-Olaf

Faker in the mid lane: Serpent's Embrace - Cassiopeia

Bottom Lane Bang: Jhin

Support Wolf: Minotaur Chieftain-Alistar. "

"The top laner strength of the Prince is not weak in this version, and some people play him in Rank. The main reason is that the talent Grasp of the Undying is a perfect match for Prince. If the basic attack with the passive Rhythm of War triggers Grasp of the Undying, a single attack can take away 20% of the HP in the early stage. Combined with the shield of W and the consumption of Q skill, the blood exchange in the line is very strong.

The half-tank warrior Prince can even hold his own against lane bullies like Crocodile, but the jungle Prince doesn't seem to have that much of an advantage, especially when the opponent is a top-mid-jungle combination like Cassiopeia, Olaf, and Troll. Except for Jhin, the other four can seriously hinder Prince's entry into the field."

I remembered doing my old job as a data analyst, but when I saw Yuan Shen bringing in talent, I remembered being silent.

"The decree of the Thunder Lord, Yuanshen is so fierce!"

"The burst of the Prince with Thunder, EQA, is very terrifying. I see that some streamers like to bring Thunder as the mid laner of Prince."

But there is one thing I didn’t remember saying.

Even those anchors will only choose to bring Thunder when they are bullying the weak opponents.

In slightly higher-end games, people usually carry Grasp of the Undying.

because……

"The error tolerance rate is too low. Once the Thunder Prince's EQ is missed, it will be completely useless. Troll's E, Cassiopeia's W, Minotaur's WQ, can all interrupt the Prince's EQ. This skill combination does not have a high priority."

The burst of the Thunder Prince is undoubtedly far superior to that of the Immortal Prince. In terms of strength, there is no difference between the two. The problem lies in the tolerance rate.

At the beginning of the game, neither side had any intention of fighting at level one and both looked very calm.

They formed a long snake formation and lined up directly.

Yuan Shen went straight to the lower jungle area and started jungling normally. The minions went online and the laning in all three lanes was also very stable.

"The early game should be slower. IG's lineup doesn't need Jarvan to set the pace in the early game, and SKT's three lanes are not good... Eh?? Slapped in the face, ganking the bottom lane at level 2?? Is this possible??"

Wang Duoduo was slapped in the face before he could even finish his words, and he was completely stunned.

Blank's Olaf was alone in the upper half of the jungle, clearing the jungle downwards.

Olaf does not need to use punishment to hit the buff in the early stage. He can deliberately keep his health low so that he can make better use of the passive attack speed bonus and improve his jungle clearing efficiency.

With the health recovery of W, there won't be too much risk.

But it was the different choices made by both sides that created this scene on the field.

"Want to gank? The Prince ganked the bottom lane at level 2. SKT's bottom lane didn't realize it, but Jhin and Alistar both had double summons, so they couldn't be killed!"

At the same time, Jack and Xiao Ming began to press forward actively.

EZ and Zyra at level one are much stronger than Jhin and Alistar.

But because they crossed the line of soldiers, SKT's bottom lane had no fear at all.

No one expected that the prince had already circled around and came to the grass in the river!
"Xiao Ming!"

Almost at the moment Yuan Shen spoke, Xiao Ming flashed forward and directly imprisoned Jin in place.

The Prince used EQA at high speed, and before Bang could react, the Prince and the flag flew to his face!
The control was connected and Jhin was knocked away!
As the normal attack with the rhythm of war landed, Jhin's health plummeted instantly.

With the help of EZ's output, Jhin's health was about to drop to the bottom.

The moment the control was released, Bang turned around and used DF twice, but because of the serious injury effect of ignition, he did not recover much blood.

As Minotaur's W crashed into the Prince, a golden light exploded under the Prince's feet!

The position of the Prince only changed slightly, but Minotaur's W directly sent the Prince to the side of the low-health Jhin!

Flat A!

Draw A again! !
Because he brought Thunder, Yuan Shen even had full output runes.

Pure output, no way out at all!
Although the tolerance rate is low and the gambling nature is high, it undoubtedly plays an extremely critical role at this time!

“IG-Yuanshen (Prince of Demacia) killed SKT-Bang (The Master of Life and Death)!!!”

Birst Blood! !
first drop of blood!!
Less than two minutes into the game, the first blood broke out in the bottom lane!
And he is SKT's most critical ADC!

The audience at the scene suddenly screamed wildly.

“IG!!! Awesome!!”

"God Yuan is so handsome!!"

"This is outrageous. I wouldn't say anything if he caught me at level 2, but he actually caught me?"

……

"First blood at the start, IG's pace is so fast! But the Minotaur can't be killed, but... Jarvan wants to invade? It's possible with Jyra's help. Olaf is also invading IG's upper jungle area. In this case..."

"SKT was forced to trade jungle, this is so hurtful!!" Remember exclaimed.

"SKT's core playstyle is for the mid and jungle to come to the bottom to help Bang set the pace, but with this level 2 gank, it's impossible for Olaf to appear in the bottom jungle in the first five minutes."

"In this way, the two sides exchanged jungle areas, and Jella's weak period without flash would be safely passed by most of the time because of the protection of the prince. Overall, IG still got the first blood, and the start was very smooth!"

I remember that as soon as I finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.
