Chapter 238 - R13 combo, Ryze's unique skill

The hero Ryze becomes more powerful in the later stages of the game.

Five minutes ago, Ekko was already unable to beat Ryze, not to mention now, the combat power gap has been further widened.

Just like in Dragon Ball, Tien Shinhan watched Son Goku, who was once weaker than him, surpass him in the blink of an eye, counterattack step by step, and become the strongest man in the universe.

As the level of Ryze's E skill increases, the increase in spell critical strike increases from 40% to 100%.

A critical hit from Ryze's Q can cause nearly 600 horrific damage to Ekko who has equipped a lot of magic resistance equipment.

A spell machine gun that refreshes the shield, speeds up, and has a very low cooldown...

I can’t keep it. I really can’t keep it.

Not to mention anything else, Ryze's mindless tower dive and WEQ combo made Ekko miserable.

Seeing Ryze destroying the bottom lane barracks and Ekko not daring to move forward, the still-surviving Faker and Pray finally calmed down and did not chase after them.

"I can hold the top lane, you go help."

Seeing the low health of Jhin and Gan Jue on the opposite side, Faker gave the order.

Because he managed to hold the distance very well, his Taliyah was still almost at full health, and he was confident that he could defend two units by himself.

The commander-in-chief gave the order, and the obedient Pray naturally had no objection and immediately rushed to the bottom lane.

The crystal must not be broken!
Once it is broken, the pressure on the military line given by the super soldiers will make it impossible for them to compete for the next wave of dragons.

The Crystal Barracks is their life and death line.

"Be careful, his damage is very high and can kill you in seconds." Smeb warned.

"Okay, Brother Jinghao." Pray nodded, indicating that he understood.

In fact, Smeb didn't need to remind him at all, Pray's vigilance had already been raised to the highest level.

He and Yuan Shen competed in the All-Star Game.

The scene of being killed instantly by the hole-sucking ghost has become his nightmare.

He woke up from his dreams countless times, with sweat all over his pillow.

The psychological shadow is too great.

He knew better than anyone how strong Yuan Shen was.

The strongest top laner?
No, no.

In Pray's heart, even if he takes national sentiment into consideration and looks at all LCK players through a filter, he still thinks Yuan Shen is the strongest professional player.

This is a secret hidden deep in Pray's heart that cannot be told...

Ever since he was killed instantly by Yuan Shen that time, he became a die-hard King Kong and was considered a crazy fan in people's eyes.

In Korean forums, Yuan Shen’s fans are condemned by everyone.

But being the strongest does not necessarily mean you will win.

The versions of League of Legends are becoming more and more team-oriented. The stronger the players are, the more they understand that individual heroism has its limits.

Even if Yuan Shen can always maintain his peak form, what about his teammates?

Not to mention anything else, if one of the five players on the Chinese team is replaced by a second-rate player in the league, it will instantly become a breakthrough, and the Korean team's winning rate will start at least 80%.

"Pray moves very carefully."

Yuan Shen muttered to himself. He did have the urge to kill Ashe instantly because his teammates told him that Ashe had just used her flash.

He killed Ashe in seconds, used his ultimate to block Taliyah's path, cooperated with his teammates to kill Taliyah, and ended the game in one wave. He had already written the script.

But unfortunately, his opponent was not a rookie, but the top professional player.

Pray always maintains a position that Ryze can only hit with flash.

Even if Ryze flashed to attack, Smeb's Ekko kept holding on to his E skill. The face-to-face attack with the E skill allowed him to help Ashe block tons of damage.

It is too difficult to kill Han Bing in one second.

Don't be impulsive.

With Ekko and Ashe jointly defending, Ryze was unable to continue destroying the Crystal Barracks.

"Let's retreat and wait for the next big dragon." Meiko, who was waiting to be resurrected at the fountain, said: "The other heroes on the opposite side are about to be resurrected. If we continue to be in a stalemate, we will be in danger."

The jungler and support of both sides died and resurrected almost at the same time, with nearly thirty seconds left.

But this is the South Korean team's high ground after all, and the enemy personnel can join the battle first.

It's really not good to delay...

Yuan Shen thought so too, but at this moment, he saw the green light on Jhin on the minimap and suddenly remembered an operation.

Give it a try, there's nothing to lose.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shen suddenly spoke.

"Use your ultimate, use your ultimate to keep the Rock Bird!"

Uzi was stunned. This was the first time that Yuan Shen gave him a direct order.

And the tone was so unquestionable and so firm.

This……

Is it a mission?!

"it is good!"

Although he was puzzled, he still used his ultimate move without any hesitation.

【Perfect Ending】-
The first bullet hit Rock Bird accurately, causing it to slow down.

Seeing this, Yuan Shen's eyes lit up.

"Nice shot."

"???"

Uzi was just about to say that this sentence was a bit strange when he saw a blue light blocking Taliyah's way.

It turned out that Ryze took a few steps towards the upper lane and activated his ultimate skill near the middle lane highland tower.

Realm Warp!!!
If Taliyah wasn't slowed down by Jhin's bullets, Faker would have enough time to get away from the teleportation array.

But not now!
Ashe and Ekko rushed up almost at the same time to support Taliyah when Ryze walked up.

Ekko predictively threw his W towards the landing of Ryze's teleport array, ready to flash his E to trigger his W at any time to stun Ryze.

"I can control Ryze! I can kill him instantly!! He made a mistake!"

While shouting, Smeb stared at Ryze, making sure that he did not leave the range of his teleportation array. The moment the light of the teleportation array disappeared, Ekko decisively flashed E over.

However, something incredible happened.

Ryze didn't come over.

Ekko's flash E hit nothing, and Taliyah's E also hit the air.

The most important thing is...there is no one to protect Han Bing!
Ashe, who was standing under the front tower, was horrified to see Ryze flashing over the tower.

QWQEQA! !
In this combo, the first Q and the last Q are very unstable and require a certain degree of prediction.

But Yuan Shen was too familiar with Pray's movement habits.

The magic ball raged and the health bar melted.

The ice is gone.

“Pray was killed again!!!”

There was a burst of ghostly howling in the Korean commentary booth.

"Wow————"

Even through the headphones, Yuan Shen could still hear the wave-like cheers that almost overturned the venue.

Triggering Wind Rider and passive, Ryze, with double acceleration, rushed towards Taliyah as if he had eight legs.

The Master Yi was still sniping Taliyah, and Ekko was tricked into using EW and Flash, leaving him with no protection.

Ryze activated Seraph and rushed forward while taking the damage from Taliyah's Q. Faker's predictive W was also avoided by his flexible movement.

The build-up to Taliyah's W is too slow for Yuan Shen.

Mingkai's Kindred had already attacked from the front, and with the two surrounding him from the front and back, Taliyah died tragically on the spot within five seconds.

With both Cs killed, only Ekko was left and the Korean team was doomed to fail.

Lost.

The five members of the South Korean team lowered their heads dejectedly and took a deep breath.

It’s okay, it’s just the first game of a BO5.

still have a chance.

But the only thing they couldn't figure out was...
This Ryze clearly did not walk out of the teleportation array, nor did he flash out of the teleportation array, so why was he staying where he was?

"What happened? This cute girl is confused."

"Is there a bug? No, will there be a rematch?"

"The guy above obviously has a plan, but I don't know how it works. Are they really taking advantage of a bug?"

"I think I just saw Ryze press the recall button?"

Yes.

At the last moment of the transmission, Yuan Shen pressed the return to city button.

If Ryze presses the return button in the teleportation array, he will not be teleported away.

This technique has never been changed.

Because its influence is not as great as the ultimate skill, the golden body.

It can only be regarded as an interesting mechanism.

The new version of Ryze was just released not long ago, and probably no one has noticed this yet.

The light for returning to the city is blue, exactly the same as the color effect of the teleportation array. Apart from the action of returning to the city, it is difficult to recognize at all.

Yuan Shen remembered this operation, so he wanted to try to see if he could trick Ekko into using his E.

This E skill is very annoying. It can rush over and help the back row block a lot of damage. This is the meaning of Ekko.

Even if you can't cheat, there's no loss.

Because Yuan Shen had no intention of teleporting over at all, the scene that Smeb imagined of controlling Ryze did not exist at all.

If you can trick them out, you'll make a lot of money.

Tam, the enemy's first resurrected player, still has fifteen seconds left.

Even if this hero comes out, it's useless.

The two lines of soldiers entered the high ground. The remaining three members of the Chinese team ignored them and just played demolition. They took the damage and demolished the crystal base of the Korean team. The first game, won!
……

"Brother Yuan, why didn't your Ryze get teleported over? I thought you were going to die."

After winning the first game, Tian Ye joked with a smile.

"Give it away? That's impossible. Everything is within my calculations!" Yuan Shen explained casually, completely forgetting that he just wanted to give it a try.

"This is a little trick of Ryze, the R13 combo."

"13?" Tian Ye was confused when he heard Yuan Shen's answer. "What is 13?"

"whee."

Mingkai smiled, patted his shoulder, and said in a serious tone: "Because... B can be separated.

"Shit!" Wei Shen cursed with a laugh.

"I give up. Are you guys always so flirty?" Yuan Shen looked at himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

A few people told dirty jokes jokingly, and returned to the lounge to prepare for the next game amid the noisy cheers of the audience.

The first game of the finals B05 soon caused widespread heated discussion in major forums.

In this game, Pray was killed twice, although this was an unavoidable situation, which was the current situation of ADC in 2016.

But the audience didn’t care about that. They only saw that the two turning points of the game were both due to Pray being killed instantly.

Even the old account of the previous All-Star being killed instantly by the Hole-sucking Ghost was dug up.

Following Bang, Pray once again became the target of online violence by LCK trolls.

Korean forums criticized him harshly, using all kinds of dirty words to greet his entire family.

The Chinese players were jubilant as it had nothing to do with the matter, and even had the leisure to joke about whether Pray was worthy of the title of Rat King.

For example, the head of Kuchi sitting on the plane was photoshopped into Pray himself, holding a small red notebook with a line of words written on it.

Pilot's application to join the party.Jpg.

For example, the team uniform on Pray was photoshopped into the uniform of the Chinese national team.

My Chinese Heart.Jpg.

In such an atmosphere, the second game started soon.

In this game, the Korean team replaced Ruler, and the bottom lane duo were all Samsung members.

The Huaxia team replaced Xiang Guo.

Vampire, Ryze, and policewoman.

These are the three banned players of the Korean team. Compared with the previous game, the only difference is that Kennen was replaced by Ryze.

After the game, the Korean team's coaching staff thought about it calmly and found that even if Pray was not killed instantly, in a balanced situation, it seemed difficult for them to deal with the 131 system of the Chinese team.

The hero Ryze is too difficult to deal with, whether in terms of late-game combat power or his ability to escape.

The Chinese team came to the blue side without any tactical changes in banning. They still banned Peaunt's Lee Sin and Elise. Then, since they came to the blue side to grab the first seat, they released Malzahar and banned Jyra.

The first and second picks of the South Korean team were the Tam + Kennen combination.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese team grabbed the Graves and Taliyah.

The first few heroes of both teams were the mainstream choices of the version, but the next moment, the two heroes of the third and fourth hands of the Korean team made everyone smell a different atmosphere.

Hecarim, Shadow of War.

Take Lori Jinx away.

"These guys finally showed off something real..."

Abu stroked his chin and thought about his next step.

"Jinx..."

Tian Ye suddenly became alert. He knew very well how profound Ruler's attainments in playing Jinx were. During this year's spring season, Ruler carried many games with Jinx and brought Samsung to its current position.

"I should have chosen the bull head earlier..."

Malzahar can suppress the opponent, but it is difficult to kill Jinx who is protected by Tam.

Wei Shen continued to lock down Jhin, then looked at Yuan Shen: "What are you going to use to fight Kennen?"

The hero Kennen has no natural enemy in the line, and no hero can absolutely restrain him.

However, Jace is a relatively good choice.

only……

"If I choose Jayce, our lineup will be a bit unreliable."

Yuan Shen said.

Graves, Taliyah, Jhin, Malzahar, and a Jayce. This lineup is very strong in all lanes, but has too little control, no group control, no front row, and team fights are very unstable.

Xiang Guo thought about it and realized that the lineup was indeed weak in team battles, but he immediately smiled and said, "Then let's fight in the early stage and destroy the opponent and that's it."

Others had no objection to this.

No lineup is perfect, it has advantages and disadvantages.

As long as their lineup can gain an advantage in the early stages, their snowballing ability is very strong.

"Row!"

After Yuan Shen locked down Jayce, the South Korean team made an unexpected choice.

The invisible blade is the deadliest.

The Lord of Shadows, Jie.

When Faker, as an ID, picked up the hero Zed, the scene immediately became lively and everyone applauded.

Two robberies in one game - that was one of the most famous scenes in the history of the league.

The lineups of both sides are finalized.

"Huaxia Team Blue Side:
Top laner Yuanshen: Jayce, Guardian of the Future
Jungler MLXG: Outlaw-Graves
Midlane GODV: Taliyah

Bottom lane Uzi: Jhin

Support Meiko: Void Prophet - Malzahar
South Korea Red Team
Top laner Smeb: Heart of Fury - Kennen
Jungle Peaunt: Shadow of War - Hecarim
Faker in the mid lane: Zed, the Lord of Shadows

Bottom lane Ruler: Take away Loli Jinx

Support CoreJJ: River Lord - Tam. "

BP was tricked.

After selecting the players, the Chinese team felt this.

The mainstream of the current version is laning.

The strong heroes in this version are all those who emphasize laning.

Except for Kennen, none of the other lineups on the opposite side are popular choices in this version.

However, it is difficult to get a kill in pure laning.

Whether it is Tam or Kennen, they are both heroes who can survive.

And the Zed in the middle...

"I'm a little hard to beat." Wei Shen's face turned weak as he looked at his toothache.

The version changes have given Zed a new lease of life.

Mercury cannot cancel Zed's ultimate, and Zhonya's hourglass cooldown is extended...

From then on, the intensity of the robbery became much higher.

But in the arena, few people dare to use it.

Because this hero has very high requirements for operation and entry timing, even professional players lack confidence.

But no one would doubt Faker's accomplishments in playing Zed.

Moreover, Taliyah was countered by Zed.

The biggest tactical advantage of the red team is that they can get the counter position.

However, when facing a team with Yuan Shen, many people always give the counter position to the top laner, but the Korean team chose to leave the counter position to the mid laner.

It's not aimed at Yuan Shen, but at other paths.

The Chinese team's lineup must play well in the early stages. As soon as Yuan Shen entered the game, he immediately commanded a level one group invasion and forced a line change.

The mainstream of the current version is laning, but lane switching has not disappeared. The Korean team's lineup will most likely use lane switching to get through the laning period.

Sure enough, through the vision invasion of the first level group, we successfully caught the opponent's lane change behavior.

After just one minute of being on the line, Yuan Shen noticed something was wrong.

Smeb is too stable.

Let go of the line, avoid fighting, and only repair safe knives.

It is indeed difficult for Kennen to fight against Jayce, but being so steady is totally unlike Smeb's style.

The opponent was very timid, but Yuan Shen couldn't get too close... because he had to consider the troops.

The forced lane switch in the level 1 team fight forced the Chinese team to deploy four wards, but now they lack vision and are unable to determine the position of the Centaur. The Centaur jungler has a very strong ability to run lanes, and once he is successfully bypassed by the Centaur, he cannot escape death even with flash.

The same is true for the bottom lane.

With a strong lineup, Uzi played as aggressively as ever, and was very suppressive.

But when the opponent avoids the fight, it is very difficult to kill with Tam around.

Even if Xiangguo came to catch people, it would be of no help, as the jungler Graves is not mainly responsible for catching people.

In this situation, he could only press for last hits. Being too aggressive would only give the opponent a chance. With Tian Ye's help, Uzi finally calmed down.

However, just when they thought that the Korean team would take advantage of this opportunity to hold out in the early game and wait for team fights, the mid and jungle duo of Faker and Peanut showed their carnivorous fangs.

Centaur started sprinting at level 3 and went to the middle lane to force out Taliyah's flash and weakness.

Afterwards, Faker got the blue buff and was at level 6, but with the extra flash and ignite, he completed the solo kill.

After getting the kill, Faker seemed to have returned to the assassin era of S3. He played very aggressively and started to set the pace.

On the other hand, Peanut, who has not yet joined SKT and has not yet been worn down by SKT's jungle positioning, is at his peak in terms of both form and offensive power. His playing style is undoubtedly the darling of this version.
The mid and jungle duo of Zed and Centaur constantly began to invade the jungle, roam around to catch people, and train the middle lane. They launched wave after wave of attacks without stopping at all, and did not give Xiangguo and Graves any chance to develop, or Wei Shen and Taliyah any chance to roam.

Although the Chinese team relied on their development advantages in the mid-term and launched several beautiful counterattacks, and the kill ratio was once tied, they still lost to the Korean team by one point.

The final score was thirteen to seventeen. There was no difference in economy between the two sides at the end, but it was a pity that the output in the final team battle was a little bit different.

Many fans were particularly sorry about the loss in this game, because the chance of winning was not low. In the early stage, the opponent's mid and jungle exerted their strength, and in the middle stage, they fought back a lot with the help of the top and bottom lanes, but the game time had already entered the enemy's strong period.

With the protection and support of the other four players, Ruler's Jinx played very beautifully in this team fight. CoreJJ also learned the lesson from the previous game. Even if he didn't want to help, he had to save W for Jinx so that the opponent couldn't kill his old partner in seconds.

The score of the BO5 was tied at 1:1.
