Chapter 236-The final battle begins, a passionate confrontation!
Tickets for the finals are on sale.

The venue is: Maracanã Stadium.

Game time: August 8, 19 p.m. local time.

In the schedule arrangement, the Olympic Committee squeezed out a traditional event with low ratings and arranged an e-sports exhibition match.

Coincidentally, the next day, August 8, was the men’s football final.

Football matches are not very popular in China, but internationally, it is the world's number one sport, with a very grand presence, and even presidents of various countries pay close attention to it.

Every time the World Cup is held, it is a carnival for football fans all over the world...or rather, a carnival for gamblers.

Even Yuan Shen, who knew nothing about football, was deeply impressed by the World Cup because of the World Cup memes that went viral on his WeChat Moments.

"Stop looking at the football and look at my ball, okay?"

"Don't think about putting pressure on Saudi Arabia or Russia, put pressure on me, okay?"

"The whole world is betting on football, only I am betting on whether you like me or not."

Stupid words like these flooded the circle of friends at that time.

Although LOL is a very prosperous emerging industry, it is still a young little brother compared to the football project.

Scheduling the LOL finals the day before football is equivalent to heating up the atmosphere and perfectly fits the definition of an exhibition match.

As soon as this schedule was released, it immediately became a hot topic around the world.

There are those who support it and those who oppose it.

The supporters are basically young people with strong receptiveness and open minds.
The opponents are the older generation of parents who are worried that it will affect their children's values.

If my grandson is addicted to games and fails to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, can you bear the responsibility? ?
There are also some who are so stupid that no one knows what they are thinking and it’s hard to criticize them.

For example, there was a fool who saw that the price of the finals tickets had been raised from 1500 to 3000. He immediately jumped out and cursed: "Is there any difference between spending thousands of dollars to go to the scene and watching the screen at home without spending money? I think this money is too easy to make, right?"

So, this guy ran to the ticket office of JD.com and asked: "It's so expensive, will anyone buy it?"

JD.com customer service kindly replied: "Hello! Yes!"

This reply was screenshoted and became a hot topic on Weibo.

In any case, the IOC's decision to hold the final at the main venue is undoubtedly a recognition of the influence of e-sports and that it is a competitive sport.

Regardless of the IOC's original intention, their move represents the traditional sports community's widespread recognition of e-sports.

This game of special significance not only affects Yuan Shen, but also other members of the Huaxia team.

Domestic professional players are basically not recognized by their parents and are looked down upon by schools and even the entire society before they achieve good results. Many of them have experienced this era... For example, Mingkai and Wei Shen, both came from the starting period of e-sports.

With the development of the e-sports industry, they became famous in the arena, earned more and more money, bought houses and cars for their family, and finally gained recognition.

But this recognition is utilitarian.

People laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. The latter do make a lot of money, but who looks down on prostitutes?

The older generation still thinks that stable and high-status professions like civil servants, teachers, and doctors are better...

But now, the opportunity has come to change their minds.

The inclusion of e-sports in the Olympic Games has greatly changed the views of many parents. Their children can stand on the stage that Liu Xiang, Yao Ming and others have stepped on to win glory for the country, with thousands of people cheering for them. This is a great honor for the family in China.

If you win a championship, you might even have a chance to have a page in your family tree!
Win this final and win the respect and recognition of society.

These days, everyone has been training with all their might. Without any request from the coaching staff, they have consciously extended the training time to seventeen hours. Apart from eating and sleeping, they are training all the time.

The same is true for the South Korean team.

For them, e-sports has always been a source of pride and honor.

Club wars are fine, but on this battlefield where national honor is concerned, there is no one who does not desire victory and does not want his or her country to win.

There were no upsets in the quarterfinals.

The Chinese team made it to the finals with an unstoppable force and defeated the Thai team 3:0 in the semi-finals. Every player was in very good shape.

The South Korean team met the North American team in the semi-finals.

The strength of the North American team is still very promising, and all the commentators think that the game should be 3-1 or 3-2.

However, the South Korean team changed its style of hiding its shortcomings in the group stage and showed its true strength, which was amazing.

All three were near-crushing situations.

In the life-and-death game, the North American team chose a double jungler lineup and released their ultimate move, but it did not achieve the desired effect at all.

Again, black technology is certainly a surprising trick, but no one stipulates that black technology will definitely produce results. What if it fails?

Only the tricks that work can be called black technology, art team, and e-sports Edison.

The tricks that didn't work were the blind BP, the stupid coach, the fake games, and the death of Ma Xian.

Just play real!

The South Korean team also advanced to the finals with a score of 3-0.

As expected, the final was decided between China and South Korea.

It's the familiar China-South Korea showdown again.

The conditions of all twenty players have reached the peak of their careers.

Inside the Maracanã Stadium, a large number of people swarmed in from the entrance and took their seats in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

The entire stadium can be seen from the backstage. Xiang Guo couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this scene, and muttered: "Fuck, so many people... This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many people gathered together. Are there 80,000 people?"

The Maracanã Stadium, officially known as the Mario Ferrao Stadium, can accommodate 8 spectators.

"You're overthinking it. There are at most 40,000 to 50,000 people." Mingkai said with a smile.

"Ah? I saw that the tickets online are sold out?" Xiang Guo said in confusion.

"That's just a promotional tactic." Ming Kai patted his shoulder. "What do you think 80,000 people mean? If they stomp their feet, the ground will shake. It's not that easy to gather so many people... For the football finals, it's estimated that only 60,000 people will come to watch."

Fortunately, Xiang Guo did not show any nervousness or anxiety when playing in front of so many people. Instead, he was slightly excited.

The rest are similar. Among the three people from IG, all have experienced the baptism of world-class competitions, and Wei Shen is also the kind of person who is not afraid of anything.

However, facing so many people, Uzi and Flandre felt a little nervous.

This was the first time they faced such a large force.

"Hey guys, it's time to go on stage!"

Abu knocked on the door of the lounge.

"The first match will be played by Yuan Shen, Ming Kai, Wei Zhen, Jian Zihao, and Tian Ye."

Abu closed his notebook and said seriously.

He had thought carefully about this lineup.

Uzi's policewoman can occupy a Ban position, and they will feel much more comfortable fighting.

The most important thing is that the South Korean team will definitely think that they will play with all five starting players in this game.

By replacing the two players, we could catch the South Korean team off guard.

Of course, Abu actually has selfish motives.

When Uzi comes on the court, Meiko, who has been cooperating with Uzi, naturally has to go on the court as well.

In this way, two of EDG's three players can play.

If Yuan Shen wasn't so strong, he really wanted to let Flandre show up...

"If there is no objection, let's go raise the national flag first."

After the solemn raising of the national flag, the contestants took their seats and the competition officially began.

In the first match of the final, the selection of players by both sides was also very interesting.

LCK chose top laner Smeb and jungler Peaunt, ROX's signature top and jungle, with mid lane core Faker.

The bottom lane is the combination of Pray and CoreJJ.

Samsung SSG and SKT each have one seat, and ROX occupies three seats!

On the Chinese side, out of IG's three starting players, only Yuan Shen played.

LGD and RNG each occupy one seat, and EDG occupies two seats.

This kind of selection caused quite a bit of complaints from the audience in the live broadcast room.

After all, at this time, any abnormal operation will be suspected of having selfish motives.

No club can resist the popularity and traffic of appearing in the Olympic final.

Of course, you have to win when you play.

If we lose the game, we will be defeated, which will backfire and the loss will outweigh the gain.

"Welcome to the Olympic finals, the battle to the top of the world! I am the commentator Miller."

"I'm the commentator doll."

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Duoduo."

In the LPL broadcast room, in this solemn scene, the official still sent Haier Brothers to sit in, plus the great poet Wang Duoduo who likes to promote Chinese culture...

Because it is a game with a rather solemn symbolic meaning, there is no entertaining pre-game trash talk segment.

Without further ado, the big screen briefly played highlights of previous matches and then went straight into the Banpick session.

In the first game, the Chinese team drew the priority right to choose sides.

In this version, there is a serious shortage of ban positions, so naturally the red side will be chosen as it is more flexible in BP.

The Korean team on the blue side blocked Vampire, Kennen, and Policewoman.

The Chinese team on the red side banned Lee Sin, Malzahar, and Elise.

The Korean team banned Vladimir and Kennen, needless to say, it was a personal ban targeting Yuan Shen.

The policewoman's tactics are aimed at Uzi, or in other words, at the entire policewoman's fast push system.

In this game, Uzi's biggest role was to ensure that LCK would ban Caitlyn.

The intention was also to let Mingkai go up and test Xiaohuasheng's background.

If Mingkai can confirm his judgment on the field, then his research on Peaunt can be put into practice.

The Korean coaching team analyzed the LPL's Caitlyn's fast-push system and found that this tactic is actually very simple, which is to let the top lane run freely and then keep helping the bottom lane.

The policewoman takes advantage of the hero's strength in the early stage and her range advantage to quickly push the line, suppress, destroy towers, and accumulate huge team advantages.

There are two ways to crack this tactic.

Catch the opponent's top lane and engage in a head-on confrontation with the opponent's bottom lane.

As for the former, since Yuan Shen debuted, there have been many situations where he was trained, but he has never collapsed. The worst time was when he was only behind by one thousand economic points, which was not very meaningful.

As for the latter, Uzi's online strength is already strong, and with the strong early-stage policewoman, he is even more powerful. When he takes the initiative in the opponent's bottom lane, the probability of winning in a 4v4 match with the opponent is not high, and the risk is very high.

The BP of the Chinese team is aimed at the enemy's jungler and support.

Lee Sin and Spider are both Peaunt's signature heroes.

Especially Lee Sin. In the LCK Spring Split, Peaunt Lee Sin's win rate was as high as a terrifying 100%, making him the new generation of Goryeo Holy Monk.

In the Spring Finals, SKT did not use his Lee Sin in any of the five games.

Malzahar is a must-pick and must-ban character in the current version.

"What would the blue team choose first?"

As soon as Miller finished speaking, the South Korean team immediately locked on a hero.

Fate is like a fabric, so be like a rock!
Taliyah.

A new hero was released some time ago. After a period of research and development, it was brought to the arena and became a hit.

In previous competitions, some players were selected one after another and they all performed well.

Then, as if in tit-for-tat, the red Chinese team also locked on a hero without hesitation.

"Ryze!" Wawa laughed, "If you dare to let go, we dare to take it!"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that Yuanshen is playing Ryze. This hero can also be used. Wei Shen has also played him before." Miller analyzed objectively.

Immediately, the Chinese team's second choice made the commentary booth speechless for a moment.

The life-haunted master Jin.

In previous games, anyone could see that Uzi didn't like Jhin, or in other words, he didn't know how to play this hero.

Even if this hero is T1 in the version, even if the opponent fails to grab Jhin, he will not choose him.

If a functional ADC is needed in the bottom lane, Jack is usually the one on the field.

But now, on the final stage, he brought it out.

"It's really... rare for Xiaohu to take Jhin first." Wang Duoduo muttered.

"If you dare to take it, you must be confident." Miller smiled with relief: "You must have been practicing hard these days."

"Can this be swayed? The substitute became the starting player, and the player's style also began to sway..."

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

In the battle against the North American team, Uzi clearly realized that he was clearly dragging down the team's BP in the competition between top teams.

Although I don't like playing functional adc, it's more than just a game now.

This is competition, this is professionalism, this is a battle of honor.

He didn't want to lose, that's all.

Spending this time with everyone has also brought about some changes in him.

A truly strong person should not have obvious weaknesses.

This will make it easy to be targeted and will also drag down the entire team.

Seventeen hours of training every day, high-intensity devilish training, made his wrists a little red. How could he not be able to become a fortune teller?

The South Korean team seemed a little surprised as Uzi's choice was different from what their data analyst had analyzed.

However, they quickly locked down their second and third picks.

Ice Archer Ashe.

Tam, Lord of the River.

Pray's signature Frost, and CoreJJ's best hero in the spring season.

After the first three moves were locked, the Korean team's lineup became clear.
The two heroes, Taliyah and Tam, are very strong in roaming support, and can be called half-map heroes.

Can provide timely support to the jungler's invasion, counter-jungle, and gank.

Han Bing’s ultimate skill is very functional and can be used to capture single enemies and start team fights stably.

In this game, the opponent obviously wanted to play roaming support and play the rhythm of the mid, jungle and support.

"We can't choose a herbivorous jungler, otherwise the jungle will be ruined." Abu said: "The mid laner must also have a strong roaming ability. The rhythm cannot be lost... Support, and then replenish the front row and initiate the team fight."

In the third and fourth rounds, the Chinese team took down Kindred and Alistar.

In order to counter Kindred's ultimate, the opponent took down the jungle Gragas, and the top laner also killed Coumter's Ryze's Ekko.

Finally, Wei Shen locked on the Card Master, who also has strong roaming support capabilities.

Both sides have clear ideas and the lineup is finalized.

"Huaxia team red side:
Top laner Yuanshen: Rune Mage - Ryze
Jungler ClearLove: Eternal Hunter Twins - Kindred
Mid-lane GODV: Card Master - Twisted Fate

Bottom lane Uzi: Jhin

Support Meiko: Minotaur Chieftain - Alistar.

South Korea Blue Team
Top laner Smeb: Time Assassin - Ekko
Jungle Peaunt: Gragas
Faker in the mid lane: Taliyah

Bottom Lane Pray: Ice Shooter - Ashe
Support CoreJJ: River Lord - Tam. "

Ryze still brought the Wind Rider and the starting equipment of Blue Crystal + Compound Potion.

When they faced each other in the group stage, Yuan Shen discovered that Smeb's laning level had improved a lot compared to last year. It was more detailed and more stable.

However, the opponent did not play seriously in the group stage. How much effort he put in and what tactics he did not use remains to be discussed. We cannot be prejudiced and look at it with previous perspectives. Yuan Shen did not underestimate Smeb's level at all.

The S6 season was the peak of Smeb's career.

It is quite difficult for Ryze to beat Ekko before he reaches a higher level.

Ekko, whose three rings' base damage has not been reduced, can trade blood with EQA and then run away quickly. Unless Ryze uses all his skills to deal full damage, he will lose money in the trade. Even if he relies on his personal strength and forces the trade to be equal, he will not make any profit...

Because Ryze is too short of mana in the early game.

This requires some tips.

As mentioned before, Ekko is very weak at level 1, and when fighting against heroes with long range, he will often choose to let go.

It was obvious that this was Smeb's plan. He didn't go forward to attack the soldiers at all. He was going to release the line and chase Ryze after his level increased.

Yuan Shen’s goal is to force him to push the line.

As soon as the military lines began to collide, he stepped forward and used W to freeze Ekko, pretending to attack with a basic attack.

Smeb decisively threw his Q back, but at this moment, Yuan Shen canceled his own basic attack.

The soldier hatred mechanism will not be revised until S8...Now only normal attacks or skills that trigger normal attack special effects will cause the soldiers' hatred.

Ryze canceled his basic attack and only threw W, and the aggro of the minions was not transferred at all.

On the other hand, Ekko's Q skill is AOE damage. Under Yuan Shen's guidance, he hit the soldiers and caused a push.

"Hey, hey!"

Smeb then realized that he was trapped
At this moment, the line of soldiers will inevitably be pushed under Ryze's tower. Next, as long as Ryze finishes the final blow and controls the line of soldiers, Ekko will not be able to EQ up and hit the three rings for at least a few minutes.

As if to intimidate him, Kindred placed his first mark on Ekko's body.

In the mid lane, Faker played very aggressively.

Taliyah is another AP mage after Dragon King who has strong level 1 fighting and pushing abilities.

In this version of Taliyah, each rock shot by her Q skill can cause AOE damage to minions.

The newest heroes are often the strongest.

It was a bit painful for Wei Shen to have his cards used up, but fortunately he went out with potions and had plenty of supplies.

The hero Card has been an evergreen in the arena for a long time. He can be used in any version and provide global support.

Until a hero appeared.

Yes, this hero is Taliyah.

Taliyah perfectly replaces the role of Card. In terms of team battle AOE ability, Poke ability, and burst ability, Taliyah is better than Card in all aspects. In terms of support ability, Taliyah is not inferior to Card, and it also has the functionality of blocking the road with a stone wall.

In a sense, Card is a low-profile version of Taliyah.

But there is no way, except this hero, no other hero can provide support to Taliyah.

Dragon King might be able to do it, but Wei Shen can’t play it.

To train a hero well, not only talent is needed, but also compatibility is important.

After Rock Bird gained control of the lane, it immediately disappeared from the lane. It was probably either invading the jungle or roaming around.

If Taliyah is allowed to roam, Kindred will be under greater pressure to develop.

Since Wei Shen used Card to fight Taliyah, he was naturally prepared.

When playing mid-lane, what should I do if I can’t push the line past the opponent and I’m afraid that the opponent will roam and put pressure on my teammates?
Answer: Make a vision!
Only one trinket ward in the early game? Not enough for both sides of the middle lane?
This is a typical situation of being limited by inertial thinking.

Many people tend to place wards in jungle areas, bushes, and rivers.

Wei Shen placed a ward directly on the middle lane, close to the first tower on the blue side of Taliyah.
-
Online eyes.

As their understanding of the game improves, more and more professional players like to do this.

With this ward, even if Taliyah has finished pushing the line, he can still fully see whether he is going up or down, whether he is going to the river or the mountain road...

After handing over this trinket eye, Wei Shen could only steadily last hit, without any intention of causing trouble. After all, the opposing jungler knew where his eye was, so it was easy to catch him.
The laning situation in the bottom lane was also very intense.

The two sides fought without mercy.

Normally, the distance of Minotaur's W is not enough to reach the ice.

Because Ashe's W has a longer range, you can use counter-attack W to slow down the opponent and escape.

But it’s different with the God of Fortune telling beside to force him to move.

Uzi and Ashe exchanged basic attacks, and used W to predict the opponent's retreat, putting them in a dilemma. Meiko moved forward at the same time and used WQ in a row.

But CoreJJ's Tam was already alert. He first stood outside the distance of Minotaur's Q, and when Ashe was controlled, he reacted quickly and swallowed the controlled Ashe, preventing Minotaur from using the A in his WQA combo.

There is no damage that triggers Thunder.

Tam put Ashe in a safe place and launched a counterattack.

The two sides were involved in a fight over various details, and the blood transfusion was extremely radical.

"This support..." Uzi muttered: "Dunking JJ? There's something there."

"Quality points!!"

Uzi's construction site English accent almost made Tian Ye laugh out loud.

In S4, the two Samsung teams disbanded and Samsung was reorganized. In S5, they were silent for a whole year and were the bottom relegation team in the LCK league.

This year, the reorganized SSG has been shining in the Korean league, but because it has never participated in the World Championship, it is not well-known internationally.

The strength of this unknown young player Corejj exceeded their expectations.

At present, only Yuan Shen knows that this new SSG has the qualifications and potential to win the championship.

The fact that Corejj was able to become a member of the national team after passing Korea's rigorous selection system proves his strength.

The blood exchange in the bottom lane was very frequent, resulting in low health for both sides.

The vision of both sides is about to enter a period of gap.

Kindred and Gragas, like sharks smelling blood, rushed to the bottom lane at the same time.

From a bird's eye view, Clearlove and Peaunt's actions are mirror images. After clearing a circle of wild monsters, they both go home to buy a jungle knife and then head directly to the bottom lane.

The situation in the canyon is changing and seems to be on the verge of breaking out at any moment.

Both sides could clearly feel the other side's murderous intent, and they also guessed that the opponent's jungler was likely to come.

When two armies fight, the first wave of confrontation is a battle of momentum.

Whoever becomes timid first will lose the spirit to fight.

Both sides want to fight.

The Card and Taliyah in the middle lane tacitly cleared the line while standing at the bottom. Once the fight started, the two would immediately rush to the bottom lane.

Taliyah's passive skill will speed up when walking close to the wall, but Faker was facing a card with stable control, so he chose Purification to avoid being caught.

Card has the skill of sprint, so once a fight breaks out in the bottom lane, both sides will probably arrive at the battlefield at the same time.

The first move was still by Meiko.

He still used WQ to cooperate with Jhin to block the position, but this time, at the moment of Q skill release, he decisively used flash to adjust his position, allowing the range of Q skill to affect both Tam and Ashe.

Minotaur attacks Ice with a basic attack, Thunder is triggered, and Ignite is attached!
"Kill Ashe!" Tian Ye shouted loudly. Facing the enemy, a ferocious and excited expression appeared on his face. Qian Jue jumped out of the bushes.

After Tam got rid of the control, he instantly held the ice in his stomach and used a Q to slow down the Minotaur, but he was also slowed down by Kindred's skills.

At this moment, Gragas used E flash and hit Kindred.

The Korean team's target was Kindred who had rushed over.

The moment the fight started in the bottom lane, the mid laners from both sides rushed to provide support.

Although the fight might end before they arrive, making their trip in vain, as an excellent mid laner, he must never give up any opportunity to provide support and open up a breakthrough.

While the fight was going on in the lower lane, the top lane was not idle either.

The jungler and mid laner both lean down, and without any external interference, the top lane will be restored to its most essential form.

That is, the arena where one determines their position in the food chain.

Yuan Shen took the first step and used his E skill on Ekko across the line of soldiers. He did not rush to use subsequent skills, but kept moving closer.

If Ekko, who has a surge effect on his body, does not leave the line of soldiers, he will be hit by the opponent when Ryze uses his E.

But once he retreats, there will be no soldiers to block his skills.

Smeb's choice is to counterattack.

W predicts the attack, EQA counterattacks.

The moment Ekko used his E, Ryze took a step back. This small movement pulled Ekko out of the pile of soldiers, preventing Ryze's subsequent skills from hitting the soldiers due to the judgment.

Ekko's three rings are released, triggering the Grasp of the Undying.

Ryze used the rune of imprisonment, and the surging effect strengthened the duration of the imprisonment of this W. Then, it was a seamless combo of WAQEQA, which triggered the Wind Rider and avoided the second damage of Ekko's Q skill. Ryze bypassed the range of Ekko's W.

At the same time, Ryze used his body to block Ekko's route back to the defensive tower, determined to kill him.

Ekko triggered his W shield, blocking the damage from several of Ryze's basic attacks, and hid in the bushes on the top lane, waiting for the next wave of skills to cool down.

Smeb knew very well that Yuan Shen's trinket eye had long been thrown in the jungle, so there was no way he could come over to the bush and attack Ekbai.

Yuan Shen also entered another bush, first avoided the damage from the soldiers, then walked out of the bush and casually threw E at the soldiers.

This unintentional action was not noticed by Smeb.

Instead, Smeb noticed one thing.

Ryze's mana is not enough!!
This information filled his mind with only attacking thoughts.

When everyone takes it as an honor to kill Faker alone, it proves Faker's status.

Similarly, when the opportunity to kill Yuan Shen alone is in front of them, most top laners will be eager to make a move, not to mention Smeb, who has been accumulating the fire of revenge for nearly a year.

I thought Yuan Shen, who had transformed into a jungler, would no longer be killed by the top laner, but now, the opportunity was right in front of him.

Ryze's mana is not enough to deal a set of damage to kill him. On the contrary, he only needs to hit three rings and activate Grasp of the Undying once to kill the opponent.

As soon as the skill cooldown ends, Ekko immediately leaves the field! He uses EQA again.

At this time, Ryze had walked near the enemy's soldiers without knowing when.

The moment Ekko appeared, Ryze whispered softly, as if he saw his prey falling into a trap:
"I have understood the runes. You lose!"

Spell surge! !
This E was thrown at the soldier who was previously covered with a layer of surge, and it instantly spread to the surroundings, affecting Ekko as well.

overload!!

Q hit Ekko's face, causing a spell critical hit, and at the same time, killed three minions around Ekko.
--brush!

When the upgrade special effects appeared on Ryze, Smeb suddenly woke up when he saw that Ryze's health and mana had increased significantly.

But now it was impossible for him to run.

Yuan Shen instantly added some points to his Q skill and used WEQ to trigger a spell critical strike again.

Ekko flashed away, Ryze flashed AE and took a single kill.

At the same time, the battle in the bottom lane also came to an end.

Both sides used all their summoner skills, but both paid the price of the death of their jungler and ADC.

On the Korean team's side, both kills were taken by Taliyah.

Although Taliyah is the last to arrive, this hero's sustained combat capability is too strong, making him very suitable for harvesting the battlefield.

On the Chinese team's side, the mid laner and ADC each got one kill.

"Brother Jinghao?"

Peaunt looked towards the top lane in surprise. He didn't expect that Smeb, who was in great form, would be killed so early. You know, the current version of Iker Jenkins can be said to be a counter to Ryze in the early stage.

Even though he had an advantage in the matchup, he was still killed by a single player. This clearly proved that he was at a different level.

One level stronger than Brother Jinghao, which is a bit unimaginable and unacceptable to Peaunt.

Could it be that Yuan Shen is really as strong as the rumors say?

Fortunately, he is a jungler!

In that case, leave the World Championship to me!
"Feel sorry."

Smeb rubbed his head in frustration.

"I shouldn't have died. I got impatient."

He was indeed anxious. If he hadn't thought of killing Yuan Shen in the end, he would not have died.

In the early stages of this game, his blood exchange, operation, and last-hitting were impeccable, and he played at his best.

But in the end, because he was too eager to attack and prove himself, he was lured and killed by the opponent!

This reminded Smeb of the details of his match with Yuan Shen last year.

Just like last year... Is it true that all my efforts over the past six months are really meaningless?
Smeb gritted his teeth unwillingly.

His mentality affected his judgment.

This is one of the interesting things about League of Legends.

When it comes to high-end games, especially those between top players, the gap between the two sides in terms of operation and awareness is really not that big. At this time, it is often a psychological game of mutual calculation and routine.

Mentality is also part of strength.

Less than seven minutes into the game, the head-to-head ratio was three to two.

"Smeb was killed again! We are lifelong enemies."

"Turtle, are you playing so fiercely in the early stages?"

"Yeah, I thought the China-South Korea matchup would be a steady operation in the early stages."

Audiences who have watched the game for a few years will notice a trend: with the update of the versions, the game rhythm tends to be more and more like fighting.

Excluding the first three years, since S4 when the concept of operations was born, the competition has become more intense every year.

Even after the Healing Alliance, the Cancer Bomb, and the average game time of more than 4 minutes in spring, summer and winter, S turned into a fighting version when the finals came.

This is Riot's conspiracy, and the designers did it on purpose.

In the operation game, both sides were last-hitting and developing, and the harmony was perfect. They fought in a team with the three major items. The winner took the big dragon and the loser defended the high ground. The bladder fight caused urethritis, and the audience was drowsy.

The reason is simple. Audiences love to watch fights. It is exciting and entertaining to see blood on every fight.

It is now S6. Although the number of fights has increased, operations are still the main focus among strong teams.

Unexpectedly, the peak showdown between China and South Korea turned out to be a fight between Mars and the Earth. There was not a single boring minute. No matter which path the director cut to, it was full of line details and exquisitely detailed operations, which maximized the viewing experience!

The non-stop cheers from the stadium were enough to make people feel the excitement of this game.

After Smeb's Ekko was killed once, he came back online and continued to fight aggressively.

If the top laner uses TP flexibly, the impact of being killed once will not be too great.

What's more, Smeb himself got a hero with an advantage in the position. After being killed once, he was only tied to the level of position balance.

Smeb is not afraid, nor can he be afraid. The previous match between Yuan Shen and Ryze in North America proved that this guy's Ryze likes to roam after gaining the advantage... If he loses the line control, the laning pressure faced by his teammates will increase.

It is really embarrassing for a carry-type top laner to fail to bear the pressure for the team and instead let his team share the pressure for him.

So, what’s the difference between this and a pressure-resistant top laner?
All three lanes were exchanging blood and fighting, and the jungler couldn't concentrate on farming the jungle. Kindred and Gragas frequently appeared on each lane.

The bottom lane was fought most frequently. Within ten minutes, four small-scale team battles broke out. Whenever the mid laners on both sides had their ultimates, they would move to the bottom lane.

Even the top lane, which had always been left alone, had the mid laners and junglers on both sides frequently looking for opportunities, and even the supports came once each.

When it comes to fighting, to be honest, the LPL team has never been inferior to anyone.

Originally, the reason why LPL teams learned operations was because they could not beat operations in simple fights. It was like a reckless man full of bravery being fooled around by a wise man who was strategizing. After being fooled for two consecutive years, this reckless man started to learn operations.

Fighting is the LPL team's forte.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the kill ratio remained the same, with a difference of three kills at most. Even Yuan Shen was killed by the opponent twice.

It has to be said that Peaunt's aggressiveness, coupled with the targeting of the enemy mid and support, caused Yuan Shen considerable trouble at one point. Fortunately, he was not an orphan in the team, as his mid, jungle and support all came to help.

After several consecutive team battles, Ryze's record was 5/2/3.

Smeb's Ekko's record is 2/3/3.

The Huaxia team's lead of three kills is in the top lane, and the situation in other lanes is similar.

The economic difference between three kills is only about 900 yuan. Now that the game time is just over minutes, the impact does not seem to be that big.

but……

"Tsk!"

Smeb gritted his teeth and saw that he was hit by Ryze's Q with a spell crit, and suddenly lost one-fifth of his health. You have to know that he is Ekko with two magic resistance items, Mercury Boots and Invigorate. If it were a squishy, ​​this Q that triggered a spell crit would directly knock off 30-40% of his health, which is not too much.

The growth curve of the hero Ryze becomes stronger in the later stages due to his two characteristics: spell crit and spell machine gun.

In addition to the hero growth curve, the version increase is also obvious.

Version 6.9 during the MSI is a connecting version for the S6 season.

The increase in AP damage and the weakening of magic resistance equipment have greatly enhanced the combat capabilities of AP heroes in the mid-to-late stages, and ADC is no longer the only core of the team.

Ekko can no longer withstand Ryze who has grown to this point. His growth curve has ended here and he has reached the peak of his life, while the opponent will continue to grow towards the direction of the big devil.

As Ryze took shape, the South Korean team gradually began to lean towards defense, and the frequency of active blood exchanges began to decrease.

There is no way. The top laner can’t win in terms of hero attributes, but he still keeps exchanging blood. That’s not courage, that’s brainlessness.

Letting the current Ekko fight Ryze is undoubtedly like asking Maokai to actively challenge the well-equipped Fiora.

The South Korean team began to steadily build vision and started to look for opportunities in a group.

Because the fighting was so intense in the early stages, both sides were in very bad shape after each wave of fighting, and no one dared to fight the little dragon in this state.

As a result, only one little dragon has died so far in this game.

Moreover, it was Clearlvoe who stole it... no, controlled it.

"So far in this game, the economic gap has not widened. The Korean team seems to be preparing to set up vision near the little dragon, trying to control the next little dragon and prepare for the later stage." Miller commented while watching the situation on the field.

This teamfight was not easy to join, as Faker's Taliyah got quite a lot of kills, and the terrain of the dragon pit is very suitable for Taliyah to perform well. "

"Right." Wawa nodded in agreement: "I think we can let this dragon go and wait for Ryze to grow a little bit before joining the team. Anyway, this elemental dragon is just a wind dragon, so it won't be very useful."

Elemental dragon.

This is a concept that was born in the S6 Summer Season.

The previous five-layer Dragon Slayer buff mechanism has been changed. Now the dragon's attributes are divided into four major attributes: earth, fire, wind, and water. Dragons with different attributes are granted different abilities, and the dragon that refreshes after thirty-five minutes will become an ancient dragon.

The role of the Ancient Dragon is very similar to that of the Dragon Slayer with five levels collected in the past. The attributes of the little dragon are doubled, and the true damage is dealt by bathing in dragon blood.

According to the analysis of major professional teams, this is another change to narrow the gap between strong teams and weak teams. Riot designers should be punished!
Why do we say that the gap has been narrowed?
Because the mechanism of elemental dragons increases the factor of luck.

The specific impact of this change is very complicated to explain. In short, among the four elemental dragons, the wind dragon is currently recognized as the elemental dragon with the lowest effect.

So, to be on the safe side, Wawa thought it didn't matter if he gave way to the little dragon.

However, the actions of the Chinese team towards Xiaolong did not seem like they were going to let him go.

"Huh?" Miller suddenly showed a surprised expression and stared at the data panel below the big screen. Is there something wrong with Wei Shen's equipment? "
