Chapter 204 - Ueno and Osaka work together to encircle and suppress the Wolf King

The top lane nightmare is actually not weak at all.

The counterattack of W combined with the melee control of E skill can enable NOC to suppress most mainstream top laners. The Q skill not only increases attack but also provides long-range Poke and pursuit capabilities. The passive can also ensure the clearing of soldiers and line endurance.

It does have flaws, but it has short legs, high mana consumption, and is too fragile. It's easy for it to fail against heroes like Riven and Olaf who have strong early single-kill abilities.

This hero cannot be called a T1 level top laner, but when facing certain specific heroes, the effect he produces can surpass the T1 level.

While Yuan Shen was clearing the jungle, he was also observing the laning in the top lane.

Nightmare in the top lane, this is the killer move he and TheShy developed together.

The key detail is that you can't rush to attack the soldier at level 1.

Nightmare's passive Shadow Blade will cause the next basic attack to cause 120% AOE damage every ten seconds, and each target hit will heal his own health.

Every time Nightmare attacks, the cooldown of his passive skill will be reduced by one second.

This passive skill is a powerful tool for jungle farming and sustaining survival.

However, it is best not to trigger the passive skill too frequently in the early laning phase, as this can easily cause the lane to be pushed, giving the opposing jungler a chance to gank.

MMD doesn't want to push the line either.

Karsa is not the type of jungler who likes to gank, but Yuan Shen is!

In terms of laning alone, he is not afraid of TheShy, but once the fight starts, Yuan Shen is always able to provide support first, which makes him very annoyed.

It seemed like he was fighting one against two in the top lane, or alone against two top top laners.

What the hell is this?

The top laners on both sides were wandering around the military line, waiting to see which melee soldier would be the first to be killed.

When the health of the three melee soldiers is almost the same, Nightmare and Poppy step forward at the same time, ready to take over the line of soldiers.

As soon as Poppy raised her hand for her Q skill, TheShy immediately used her W skill and released it instantly.

Dark shelter!

The passive effect of level 20 W can provide % attack speed. If the enemy's skills can be successfully blocked, the passive effect will be doubled and last for five seconds.

Nightmare's W successfully blocked Poppy's Q.

Then, he launched a normal attack with Shadow Blade, and with a swish, he took down three melee soldiers and also hit Poppy.

With an extremely high attack speed of 40%, he attacked twice more and actually triggered Thunder directly.

One third of Poppy's health just disappeared.

On the other hand, after Nightmare blocked a section of damage from Poppy's Q, his health didn't drop much at all, and it could be restored to full with the next passive Shadow Blade.

"That's it!"

Yuan Shen secretly praised.

Poppy's only output skill is Q, which has two stages of damage. The basic damage is very high, and it comes with a percentage of health damage.

But no matter how high the damage is, it is meaningless if you can't hit the enemy.

The hand-raising action is too obvious and cannot be canceled, so it is easy to be blocked by Nightmare's W, which instead increases Nightmare's attack speed advantage.

Poppy's W skill can accelerate and interrupt the charge.

The problem is that Nightmare doesn't respond to charges in the lane.

One Q skill acceleration is enough to catch up with Poppy, and then use the E skill on Poppy, and you will have a great advantage in the fight and blood exchange.

As for Poppy's E skill, veteran Poppy players will not count this hero's laning ability, because in a 1V1 laning situation, whether you can successfully wall-bang the opponent depends entirely on whether the opponent cooperates.

We already have a big advantage in the top lane.

Without Poppy's Q, TheShy played more aggressively, walking on the shadow of his own Q skill. Nightmare not only had a movement speed bonus, but also an attack power bonus.

The full-level Q skill can even increase 55 points of attack power. Although it is not as good as Noxus's Bloodfury, it does not require stacking bleeding effects, and the benefit exceeds the bonus of a Storm Sword.

"MMD is not as good as Ziv."

Yuan Shen observed for a while and came to a conclusion.

TheShy got the hero with the advantage in the matchup, and he felt relieved.

TheShy's playing style will not miss any opportunity to reduce the blood line, and he will show his suppressive power to the fullest.

To be frank, TheShy's advantage is even stronger than when he played top lane.

Because TheShy only needs to consider the laning phase, unlike him, who has to consider a lot more.

Not only do you have to counter-camp and place wards, you also have to clear the jungle and control the dragon...

Compared to last year's Ziv, MMD has too many useless operations and poor laning skills. He is a standard blue-collar top laner.

Soon, MMD's Poppy was trapped under the tower with very little health left.

With this amount of health, even if the jungler comes to help him catch, there is a high possibility of being traded one for one.

There is even a risk of being tower dived.

"Hold on, Egg!"

Karsa glanced at the top lane and encouraged his teammates: "Keep good vision. If the opponent dares to cross the tower, I will go to counter-camp."

However, what he didn't expect was that IG had already taken action.

"According to Karsa's usual jungle route... he should be here now."

Yuan Shen clicked a signal, marking the location of the blue side's magic swamp frog.

Flash Wolves performed very well in this MSI, and Yuan Shen also put a lot of effort into studying the player Karsa.

On the blue side, and when choosing the hero Olaf, Karsa has already figured out the rules of jungle routes and vision control positions.

In such a short time, it is difficult to change the habit of jungle farming.

Controlling the troll to bypass the field of vision, Yuan Shen began to attack Olaf's upper jungle area.

TheShy, who controls the lane, is also vaguely near the river, ready to provide support at any time.

Sure enough, Olaf was standing near the top lane, clearing the jungle, with about two-thirds of his health left. When Yuan Shen saw this, he immediately used W and rushed forward to fight.

In the full-level W skill Frozen Field, the Troll can gain a 40% movement speed bonus, 80% attack speed, and 20% additional healing effects from all treatments and recovery methods.

Although it is only level one W now, the fighting ability is still greatly enhanced.

The Q skill, Sharp Teeth Bite, can reduce the enemy's attack power by 10 points and increase your own attack power by 20 points.

This is just the first level of the Q skill.

In the early stage, the Troll is not afraid of Olaf at all.

"NOC is coming! Quinn's support speed must be faster. IG's top, mid and jungle are working together. They are going to target the core rhythm of the dead Flash Wolves in the early stage and attack Karsa!"

Wawa slammed the table and understood everything, he understood everything!

The FW team's voice chat has become a mess.

"Haoxuan, hurry up, he's faster than me!"

This is the voice of MMD.

"Quinn is also faster than me. Is this guy not wanted in order to support the troops?"

This is Maple's voice.

The mid and top players of Flash Wolves all sent danger signals to the jungler.

The blood-red exclamation marks were ding-donging on the map, almost forming a line.

"Shit!! Stop sending so many signals!!"

Karsa was a little dissatisfied.

What's the use of just sending a signal? Come on, people!
However, he knew that he could not win this fight, so he wanted to rush to the top lane tower as soon as possible.

However, the troll blocked his retreat with a pillar.

The giant ice stick with slowing effect can delay him for at least four seconds.

Moreover, the troll was still holding his position, performing skillful melee attacks.

Although the hero collision volume is small, it still exists. Only with the green fork or some special heroes will the collision volume be completely ignored.

This blocking position will make Olaf move around more and take at least two more hits from normal attacks.

Yuan Shen had mastered this technique as early as last year.

The easiest way to break the deadlock is to just use flash to jump over the wall.

The problem is that since the Sprint was strengthened in S6, the cooldown time was adjusted from 210 seconds to 240 seconds, and the movement speed bonus was also adjusted from 27% to 28% to 42%. After reaching the maximum movement speed after two seconds, Olaf no longer needs flash when playing as a jungler.

Karsa pressed sprint directly, and he still wanted to struggle.

The summoner skill Sprint can also provide the hero with the effect of ignoring collision volume.

However, at this moment, TheShy flashed over the wall and came to the upper jungle area of ​​the blue team. He was ready to hit Olaf with the Q skill and activated the E skill, which would cause a fear effect after two seconds.

Thunder was triggered and Olaf's health dropped rapidly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"

MMD Poppy came to support and flashed over the wall to slam Nightmare against the troll's pillar, interrupting Nightmare's E skill and allowing Olaf and Nightmare to create distance.

However, almost at the same time, Nightmare activated a blue shield, negating Poppy's Heroic Charge.

As his attack speed skyrocketed, Olaf was also frightened and stood still.

The Troll's Q skill has a built-in slowing effect. Although it only lasts for one second, it is enough.

With the slowing effect of the red buff, Nightmare continued to attack, and Olaf's health was soon emptied to zero.

"IG-Yuanshen (Troll King) killed FW-Karsa (Berserker)!!!"

"First Blood!!"

first drop of blood!

"Nice acceptance!!"

Yuan Shen was very happy. This time, Poppy flashed through the wall in blind vision and TheShy actually reacted.

While he was talking, his hands didn't slow down at all.

Bobby, there's danger too!
Originally, if Poppy could knock Nightmare against the wall and stun him, not only could she interrupt Nightmare's E, but she could also allow Olaf to escape.

Poppy can also use Q to slow down Nightmare and then use W to escape.

Both of them were able to leave, resolving the crisis perfectly.

However, after the confident E skill was blocked, Poppy's Q skill in the EQ combo also missed.

It was obviously aimed at the Troll and Nightmare at the same time, but one of them went left and the other turned right, so that Poppy's Q skill missed the target between the two people!

After using up all her skills, Poppy, whose health was already very low, stared with her cute eyes at the nightmares and trolls surrounding her.

"This person is playing with a hammer..."

Yuan Shen muttered, and TheShy on the side pressed S, took a look at the soldiers in the top lane, and decided to take Poppy's head later to make him suffer more.

He was very confused about Yuan Shen's words.

"Poppy, isn't it just playing with a hammer?"

Joking aside, IG's jungle suppression strategy has begun to show results.

That’s right, what Yuan Shen prepared for Flash Wolves was to interrupt their offensive rhythm in the early stage.

Wolf King Karsa, as the core rhythm initiator of Flash Wolves, is also their strongest point and their most critical point.

There is only one thing IG needs to do, and that is to target Karsa, use the strength of the online players who are stronger than Flash Wolves, and take down Karsa!

In order to achieve this, the Troll's development must be ahead of Olaf!
