Chapter 215-Peak IG, Ultimate Cooperation

(Additional updates in June with 500 monthly tickets)

"..."

After watching this replay, the commentary booths in major competition areas around the world fell into an eerie silence.

The language may be different, but the idea that comes to mind is the same.

So simple?
Karma's Q skill can slow down the vampire even if it hits once, so it cannot be killed in this wave.

RW is continuous, the second stage recovers blood, and you won’t lose money by exchanging blood.

It's really just a crushing operation, no reason at all!

Moreover, why can the Troll appear in the top lane at this time?
After Olaf was resurrected, he went to kill the Stone Beetle. When he saw the bottom lane being killed, he rushed directly to the bottom lane to kill the soldiers. But almost at the same time, the Troll appeared in the top lane.

You don't kill wild monsters?
"The vampire has great positioning, and the troll has great awareness."

Kkoma gave his evaluation.

Yuan Shen's battle sense once again made him feel incredible.

Little did they know that this wave of vampires' attack was commanded by Yuan Shen.

The difference between masters lies in whether they can seize fleeting opportunities.

The comments in the live broadcast room were already boiling.

"???"

"I don't understand!"

"I'm stupid."

"I'm dying of laughter. He didn't hit either of his two Qs. Is that all Duke has?"

"This positioning is so bad that the opponent is showing off."

"The troll ice pillar soaked Karma to the skin. Even if you are an old woman with a strong body, you will still be soaked by the water!"

……

The audience was talking about it. IG's disadvantages in the top, mid and jungle in the early stage of this game made many people pessimistic, and a small number of trolls also vented their negative emotions in the barrage.

Although IG is the top team in LPL today, there are fans of other teams who just can’t stand them.

There are all kinds of spray.

What? The top laner is useless, the jungler is suppressed, and the mid laner is an earthbound spirit...

They don’t care how Tsar compares to Time in roaming, and they don’t care whether there is a problem with the BP. They will just criticize him if he plays badly.

What's more, the blue side was at a disadvantage in this BP, and it wasn't really a problem, it was just that the power-generating period was different.

In the mid to late stages, IG is definitely stronger than SKT.

With Tsar and Imperator as dual AP cores, even Lucian’s short arms are not a big problem.

Because the other person's hand is not that long either.

However, these trolls who took the opportunity to set the pace disappeared after they completed the kills in both the upper and lower lanes at the same time.

Of course, the trolls don’t care whether they are slapped in the face or not. Some of them even suddenly change their attitude and start posting 666. Occasionally, if they are recognized, they can explain that they are just disappointed in their good friends and have no ill intentions.

Very real.

The deaths of the top laner and ADC had a great impact on SKT's overall rhythm.

At least, Olaf didn't dare to invade the jungle alone.

IG's bottom lane didn't have double summons, so they didn't dare to suppress too aggressively, but the same was true for SKT's bottom lane. They didn't have flash to cooperate with the jungler's ganks, so the conditions were the same.

However, the line control and initiative fell into the hands of IG's bottom lane.

As long as IG's bottom lane duo doesn't push too deep, SKT won't be able to find an opportunity to cross the line and keep anyone.

The hero Braum is good at counterattacking but not good at active attacking.

If Q misses, what else can you do besides flash A or flash R?
The same goes for the top lane.

The Cave Drainer got Karma's head, which enabled him to make the Rocket Belt, a key equipment, in advance.

The online combat capability has been greatly improved, and Karma is no longer a match.

After the cooldown reduction attributes are stacked, the combat and pushing capabilities of the Cavernous Ghost will undergo a qualitative change and will not be inferior to any traditional AP.

The loss of lane rights in both the upper and lower lanes means that once a fight breaks out in the opponent's jungle, the opponent's upper and lower lane support will be faster.

If Olaf dared to fight the troll in the opposite jungle, even if he killed the troll, he might be killed by the support from IG's top and bottom lanes.

To put it bluntly, the troll has a very cheap life. Even if it is in a state of collapse, it can still be very tanky in a team fight with just an R.

But in the early stage, Olaf was protected as a C position!
The jungler's ability to rely on his teammates in the lane was fully revealed at this moment.

A one-for-one trade of jungler is absolutely unacceptable to SKT.

Even if the person opposite is Yuan Shen...

The advantages of the upper and lower lanes finally helped the Troll to gain space for development.

Of course, Xiaolong doesn’t have to think about it for the time being.

Olaf was too intimidating at this point in time. Combined with the double acceleration of Time Man and Annie, the dragon group couldn't be defeated at all.

Olaf can defeat all of IG by himself.

As for the vampire, although he doesn't have any pressure on the laning side at this time, it is not the time for him to join the team.

When Blank controlled the second dragon, IG wisely did not fight for it and chose to let it go.

Fortunately, they already had a little dragon, which gave them an extra 8% attack and magic power bonus, so Yuan Shen was not panicked at all.

The Rift Herald in the upper half is better than nothing.

It can also eat up SKT's upper jungle area, help the leech protect the vision, and force Karma to retreat to the second tower.
The kills in the upper and lower lanes saved IG from the early stage of being snowballed to death, and the situation fell into a stalemate stage of development.

This cannot be said to be because SKT gave the team an opportunity, nor can it be said that Bang and Duke are too weak.

It's just about looking for opportunities for each other.

All I can say is that IG is more resilient.

The two sides began to develop in a stalemate, which seemed calm and boring. The commentators also began to analyze the situation.

"It's so dangerous."

The doll patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This game was so similar to the last one that I almost thought IG would be like SKT in the last game, where the top, mid and jungle collapsed in the early game and the opponent snowballed."

"Yeah, I have to say, Jack and Xiao Ming played very well in this wave. Many people say that IG's bottom lane is a bit messy, but that's not the case."

"Whether it's Xiao Ming's teamfighting and roaming, or Jack's output guarantee and functional role in the team, they have always been an indispensable part of IG."

During the stalemate, the two sides on the field switched lanes to support, handled the lines of troops, controlled the vision, developed the rhythm, and had top-notch operational capabilities. Many professional teams were fascinated by the scene and felt that they had learned a lot, but for the audience, it was simply incomprehensible. What was the point of not fighting?
So, the barrage of comments started to start a bickering conversation, saying that the Troll was ugly, Duke was bad, and the mid laners on both sides could only farm.

Occasionally, there will be a barrage to remind you of a key point, and then I will refute them by saying that the refrigerator does not need to be able to cool itself.

The third dragon was released and IG is still developing.

Soon, the fourth little dragon was about to refresh.

The Haier brothers were excited. Miller said, "Should IG take this dragon fight? If SKT takes this dragon, they will be in a very passive position. If SKT's lineup gets the five-dragon buff, there will be no fun later..."

Wang Duoduo analyzed: "If IG wants to win this teamfight, they are very dependent on TheShy's entry. If Vampire can use full AOE and delay SKT's back row for enough time, they can win."

Wawa also expressed his own opinion: "That's right, if SKT gets three little dragons, they can increase their out-of-combat movement speed. This will greatly increase SKT's lineup, and IG absolutely cannot let it go. But if they want to join the team fight, they must deal with this Olaf, who is too fat..."

Olaf, with two kills, is now even at the same level as the single lane, and his equipment is also the best in the game.

Olaf, who gained an advantage in the early and mid-game, was very ferocious.

Especially when equipped with an Old Man of Time and Karma, you can charge into the battle without any worries.

High movement speed, thick shield, high damage, and resurrection after death.

If a fight breaks out, this Olaf will absorb a lot of skills and delay the game for a long time.

In everyone's mind, if IG wants to win this team battle, it depends on whether the vampire can play the same role as Olaf who is blessed by his teammates' skills.

IG’s choice is…

catch!!

At the dragon pit, SKT attacked the dragon without hesitation, and they killed the dragon very quickly.

As long as the opponent hesitates for a moment or is a few steps slower in providing support, they can capture the little dragon and then quickly evacuate.

For LCK teams, they will only fight a fight that they are sure to win.

But IG's execution was very fast, and they arrived at the battlefield almost as soon as they killed the dragon.

The Tsar summoned sand soldiers and rushed into the dragon pit, making full use of the advantage of his long arms.

The SKT players immediately judged that it would be very dangerous if the Tsar drained their health, and they reached a consensus almost at the same time.

"Start the group!"

The Wheel Mother shouted loudly, the hunt begins!
Karma RE's group shield accelerates, and the Time Man accelerates Olaf.

Olaf's sprint begins and Ragnarok is coming!

Like an arrow shot from a bow, Olaf rushed to the front of the IG lineup like a tiger in an instant, heading straight for Rookie's Tsar.

IG immediately began to focus on Olaf, and the Troll used his ultimate, making Olaf, whose double resistance was already reduced after activating the ultimate, even more fragile.

Once the huge ice pillar was erected, the target was not Olaf, but the other four members of SKT!

Olaf's high basic damage caused Rookie's Tsar's health to drop sharply, but he also lost his health quickly under the concentrated fire of several people.

“Back row!!”

Yuan Shen shouted loudly that Olaf was just a target to attract fire. Even if they focused their fire on him and killed him instantly, he could still be resurrected. It would be unwise to waste too many skills on him as he would not be able to cope with the output of SKT's back row.

But you have to take care of him, because if you don't take care of Olaf, IG's back row will be in danger.

This is a trade-off, whether to protect the back row or cut the back row.

Yuan Shen chose the latter.

Xiao Ming understood what he meant, and at this time he was also a world-class top support.

Xiao Ming is now at the peak of his career. Even in a team like IG, he has become stronger by being influenced by the team.

Therefore, Xiao Ming did not hesitate at all. He first moved into the river grass, and the moment he disappeared from the sight of the SKT team, he immediately flashed Q at the maximum distance.

This position is too difficult to defend.

There was chaos in the team battle. All SKT players followed Olaf's charge and rushed in. However, they were blocked by the Troll's Ice Pillar and then by the Minotaur's Q flash, which made them hard to defend against.

Sivir, Karma, and Braum were all thrown high into the air, but only Faker was able to sense the danger, stepped back, and escaped.

but--
"Try wrestling a bull—"

Xiao Ming used W to knock the Time Man away, then activated his ultimate to absorb the damage on the spot.

This W is extremely essential... because, there is not enough time for Olaf to use his ultimate skill.

"Oh my god!!! Xiao Ming played so well. He used Q to flash and knocked three people away. The vampire took advantage of the situation and also hit three people with his ultimate, dealing tons of AOE. Jack's Lucian also directly used Holy Lance Baptism to sweep over and make up for the output." Miller explained the situation at a fast pace.

"Olaf charged, Rookie fought back under the protection of the troll, the health of both sides was very dangerous, wow!!"

Wawa's pupils suddenly widened, and saw that at the moment when the health of both sides was at its limit, Rookie flashed to avoid the fatal axe, and another WEQ combo focused on Olaf, holding up a layer of shield.

Olaf swung his axe fiercely and stabbed the three sand soldiers with all his strength.

As Lucian's treatment was applied, the Tsar survived with a sliver of health, while Olaf was killed.

Without the Time Lord's ultimate to resurrect, even if Olaf is fat, Karma's shield alone cannot withstand the concentrated fire of IG's double Cs.

On the battlefield later, TheShy's vampire's AOE was maxed out, and most of his output was poured onto Bang's Sivir, killing her, but not completely, because Sivir was in the process of time reversal and could be resurrected soon.

However, during this resurrection time, SKT's lineup... had no output!
It is said that four protect one, but in fact the team protects Olaf to set the pace in the early stage, and lets Annie take over the output responsibility in the middle and late stages.

But Olaf died first, and now Annie’s equipment is not good and she is still in the resurrection period.

The output loophole is too serious.

The vampire's skills were not in use, and the Tsar's health was too low to fight. Jack, who had been ignored, took on the responsibility of output, slid forward, EAAWAAQAA! !
Lucian, who is already strong in the early and mid-game, now seamlessly connects his passive and skills to deal damage at the speed of light.

At the moment when the two bombs QWQ were thrown out, Jack reacted extremely quickly and dodged them. Instead of retreating, he advanced and dealt damage close to the opponent's face.

Sorry, I don’t want to use your Q skill!
Time flashed to create distance, Lucian's E skill became available again, and he immediately followed up -
Bang, who had just resurrected, had not yet made any move when he was attacked again by the Minotaur with the right timing.

Release the vampire's EQ and kill the Annie.

One of the four protecting one died, and the ADC also died.

Even though all IG members were in poor condition, the remaining two people had no ability to harvest at all.

SKT team battle, collapsed! !

The process and outcome of this team battle were beyond everyone's expectations.

"TheShy's timing and AOE were both perfect, but he didn't do it alone." Miller said: "Xiao Ming's Minotaur started very well. He first moved to the blind spot, then suddenly flashed with Q, and used the W skill to knock back time..."

"It's not just Xiao Ming." Wawa smiled and said, "IG's entire team made great decisions, with clear division of labor and amazing execution. They decided almost instantly to let the Troll and the Tsar deal with Olaf, while the rest of the team charged forward to defeat SKT's back row."

“SKT… No, maybe all of us are too worried about IG’s fighting power when Yuanshen is at a disadvantage.” Wang Duoduo said with emotion: “In fact, IG’s players in other lanes are also world-class! Even if Yuanshen is targeted, others can still stand up!”

"If TheShy enters the field alone, he will probably be pulled back by the opponent and kited to death. Not to mention, if Braum holds up a security door and lets Annie lean behind him, she will be blocked by Vladimir's E and won't be able to deal full damage."

"Because of the attention and tactics, all the focus was on Yuan Shen, which gave other IG players a lot of room to play."

"Every member of IG is a top player in LPL. As long as they are given enough room to perform, they can also shine."
