Chapter 216: Xianghe, I’m here to do it!

Chapter 216-Sang Hyuk, I’m here to fucking do it!

Yuan Shen is too dazzling.

Especially in last year's version where heavy-armored warriors and top laners were king, his brilliance overshadowed everyone else.

Last year’s IG was certainly not weak, as they won the LPL league championship.

But the competition versions are different, the events are different, and the competitiveness is naturally different.

Yuan Shen’s joining has brought great changes to IG.

Especially the diversity in tactical style systems.

Moreover, as an ace player, Yuan Shen himself can help his teammates attract a lot of attention.

This is the unanimous judgment of LCK data analysts.

Therefore, they attach great importance to the player Yuan Shen. In the LCK region, as long as the team is aspiring to the World Championship, its coaching staff and data analysts almost all have a set of research materials on Yuan Shen. The inventory of Yuan Shen’s game records is more than the seeds of the island country’s physiological films.

In this match point game, SKT targeted the jungler throughout the entire process, from banning players to selecting roles, from playing style to operations.

Yuan Shen is not a god after all. No matter how strong he is, he is only as strong as the game mechanism allows. It is impossible for him to increase damage out of thin air, see through the entire map, or predict the future...

A world-class team was trying their best to target Yuan Shen, and there was no way he could stop them.

However, IG is not a team supported by one person.

IG’s strength is all-round.

If we only focus on one point, we cannot say that there is no effect, and in fact it is true.

In this game, all SKT members were on alert, focusing on all aspects of warding, operations, casting, and manipulation.

Their eyes were all on Yuan Shen, and they naturally ignored the other members of IG.

To put it bluntly, SKT didn't treat the other IG members as human beings...

Two powerful heroes of this version, Minotaur and Tsar, were released. Both are heroes that Rookie and Xiao Ming are extremely good at. Bang Sivir countered Lucian. Is it confidence, or is it arrogance?
Olaf did have an effect, but as long as the troll has his ultimate, he can weaken Olaf's charge strength by a level. If it were any other jungler, they might not be able to defeat this Olaf at all...

"Nice!" Rookie shouted excitedly.

"This Q is awesome!"

Yuan Shen laughed.

"Xiao Ming can do it."

"The other side is so rude. They let me go. I'm afraid they don't know what the guardian bull is." Xiao Ming was complacent.

Rookie looked excited, "We can take the Baron. I'll teleport out and kill him quickly."

"No, come directly."

Yuan Shen made a judgment.

The offensive was reversed and the situation became clear.

This was a perfect team battle with 0 for 5.

It was not the credit of any one person alone. All five of them played their heroic roles to the fullest, even the troll who had already collapsed.

The Tsar's health is very low, but he does not need to take the damage from the dragon. With the vampire and the troll there, and the Minotaur healing them, there will be no danger.

The speed at which Tsar kills the big dragon is famous in the league.

Not to mention the cooperation of Lucian.

Twenty seconds later, when the SKT members were resurrected, they rushed to the dragon pit. Halfway there, they heard the dragon's cry.

"Axi..."

All SKT members were like this, especially Xiaohei. He was in great form in this game and thought he could finally carry the game and wash away the stain on himself in this MSI. In the end, he was beaten 0 for 5 by the opponent.

Blank could already foresee the storm of domestic public opinion against him.

The audience will not care whether this fight was a team decision or not. They will only care about who started it, what the result was, and whether they won or not.

Olaf started the team fight, and got a 0-for-5 trade, but was shown off like a Muggle. That was the team's engine being wiped out, and it was just a trap for my brother Li...

"Defend it!" Faker sighed, "Drag the outer tower if you can, if you can't, give it up, set up defensive wards, and defend the high ground... The high ground must not be lost!"

SKT immediately switched from an advantageous operation to a disadvantageous operation.

Such a familiar feeling, it seems that no matter how they play against IG, they will end up at a disadvantage in operations.

The early advantage allowed them to take down two little dragons, but this was not enough for them to delay.

The gloom in the hearts of the five people did not diminish.

After the failure of this dragon fight, the opposing Lucian, Tsar, and Vampire will all get the three-piece set, and their equipment will be completely completed, entering a strong period.

The current version of Lucian has mana-absorbing knife + cannon + infinity, 75% critical strike rate, and damage and burst reach peak value. Not to mention anything else, Olaf can no longer withstand the output of this Lucian.

They have four protecting one, and of course they become stronger in the later stages.

However, can they really survive during the strong period of IG lineup?
Instead of operating alone, the five IG players pushed forward as a group.

This is Vampire, who is essentially a core hero in team battles like Gypsy and Cassiopeia.

There are three solutions for the top lane in the new season. After Fiora was weakened, TheShy rarely plays solo.

The 4-1 split is rarely seen in IG's games nowadays.

More often than not, the top laner chooses a team battle core who can carry the entire game in the mid-to-late game.

Or choose three mythical gods to act as the front row.

The outer towers were broken layer by layer. After all three outer towers were taken down, IG returned to the first wave city, updated their equipment, and then, with 45 seconds left for the big dragon buff, they launched an advance to the high ground. "This high ground is a bit difficult to get to. Shi Guang drops two bombs, Sivir uses QW to sweep around, and this wave of soldiers will be cleared soon. After all, it's a high ground tower..." Wawa frowned.

"Let's wait for the next big dragon to spawn, then operate the three lanes of troops and go to the high ground." Miller was very nervous. Even though he knew IG couldn't hear his analysis, he couldn't help but give suggestions.

"But Xiao Ming's Minotaur is eager to make a move, and he looks like he has let it go." Wawa said, "IG's idea is understandable. In the last teamfight, the entire SKT team used flash, and now it's only been three minutes, so there's a good chance of a kill... If we wait for the next teamfight, there's a high chance that something unexpected will happen..."

SKT is also keeping an eye on this Minotaur.

Xiao Ming’s initiation of the team fight in the last wave was so brilliant that SKT became much more wary of him.

Bang carefully kept a distance from the Minotaur and cleared the line, not giving the opponent a chance to use WQ.

"Be careful of the troll's pillar that slows down the enemy." Faker said as he went up as usual, preparing two bombs, QWQ, to control the soldiers outside the tower and clear this wave of soldiers.

The duration of the dragon buff is almost over, this is the last wave of soldiers.

As long as they can hold on, SKT will have the capital to turn the tables.

However, at this moment.

"Acceptance!"

Yuan Shen exclaimed softly.

Almost at the same time, the vampire, with his back to SKT's high ground, suddenly used a reverse rocket belt, causing some damage, closing the distance with Zilean, and holding up [Blood Tide] in his hand.

A flash of golden light! ! !
It's not just SKT. The last team fight was fought too quickly. Even many people with a bird's eye view ignored that Vladimir was the only hero who didn't use flash.

While using E flash, the ultimate skill [Blood Plague] is launched later but arrives first.

In terms of keystrokes, E is faster, but Vampire's E has an animation effect, not instant. R is instant, and as long as the hand speed is fast enough, R can be activated first, which can increase the damage by 10% due to the BUFF effect of the ultimate move.

The moment before the Blood Tide hits Time, the ultimate move takes effect first.

E flash R red rage QW——
At the same time, Minotaur used W to knock Karma away, not giving her the chance to give him a shield. He then activated his ultimate, holding a Q in his hand, and used his majestic body to divide the entire battlefield.

The three-piece vampire damage can kill Zilean in one second. Faker reacted quickly and almost instinctively cast a revive on himself...

But Faker's heart skipped a beat, and he was shocked instead of happy.

The best way to deal with Old Man Time is to force him to use his ultimate move on you.

This is a supporting hero, and even if he is resurrected, it won’t make much sense.

It goes without saying which one plays a greater role, Zilean with two lives or Sivir Olaf with two lives.

Zilean died and entered the resurrection time. No one from IG stayed to guard the body. Instead, they all started to climb higher as agreed.

The troll uses his ultimate skill on Olaf to reduce his resistance.

Lucian, the fattest player on IG's side, cooperated with Tsar's output. The two of them burst out with a set of combos and instantly killed the previously invincible Olaf.

Blank wanted to escape, but just as he started sprinting, he was stuck by the troll's ice pillar and stumbled.

The hero Olaf has begun to go downhill.

Olaf is essentially an early to mid-game hero. He is indeed very strong in the early game when combined with Time Karma, but not in the mid to late game.

Even in last year's armored warrior version, the hero Olaf had some major flaws.

Even with bloodthirsty hands, plate armor and W to recover health, he still couldn't survive.

Not to mention that the current version of the heavy armored warriors has been chopped down into the sewer.

When Faker was resurrected, three SKT members on the battlefield had been killed, leaving only Sivir, who was protected by others and escaped all the way back to Frontal.

IG only lost one Minotaur who was guarding the tower.

The highland tower was shattered.

The desperate battle situation made Faker grit his teeth.

"Hold on, I'm going back to the city!"

The high ground was blocked by the opponent, and Old Man Time couldn't get through, so he could only run to the wild area to return to the city.

After Shi Guang returns to the city, he and Sivir will go all out to clear the enemy lines, and IG will have no chance to win!
However, Yuan Shen was unwilling to let him return to the city.

The troll uses W to speed up and follows Zilean. His E skill is at full cooldown, with only seven seconds left. He uses E skill from a distance to interrupt the return to the city + slow down, thus holding back Faker's steps.

"Let me go back, let me go back..."

He accelerated to a deserted place and pressed the recall button, but was interrupted by the troll's pillar. Faker's palms were full of sweat due to his anxiety.

"Haha, eat my stick! Sang Hyuk, I'm going to be spicy!"

Yuan Shen quickly switched the screen to take a look at the frontal battle situation, and was hit by two bombs from Faker without noticing.

Just as the countdown for the last bomb was about to end and the troll would be killed, the game screen suddenly froze...

Immediately, the view kept moving upwards and arrived at SKT's crystal main castle, allowing Faker to enjoy a fireworks display.

The moment the game ended, major gaming platforms and apps forwarded the battle report.

The situation took a turn for the better! SKT's system showed its power and they controlled the rhythm for a while.

IG's online team battles were successful, and Lucian got a triple kill in the Baron pit, reversing the situation.

In the last team fight on the high ground, TheShy's Vampire started the fight perfectly, singled out Faker, and forced out his time ultimate. IG was as powerful as a tiger and won the team fight.

Congratulations to IG for taking the match point first and leading 2-0.
