Chapter 241 3 The Fire Dragon’s Crisis!

Chapter 241-The Crisis of the Three Fire Dragons!

Kenan is worthless.

This is not a mockery by Yuan Shen, but a fact.

Excluding the factors of first blood and final money, the hero unit's first death is 300 yuan, the second death is 260, and the third death is 182, which keeps decreasing, with the lowest being yuan. In a real sense, it is not even as good as a cannon cart.

Super soldiers are worth more than you.

Generally speaking, after the opponent's hero dies three times in a row, don't gamble your life to kill him. Not to mention the loss of blood because he was replaced, even if you use your ultimate skill or even flash, you will still lose some money.

She is worthless, yet you still want to kill her and exchange her life for her. You are a lowly person who only covets her body...

This is the fourth time Kennen has died, worth 110 gold coins.

Not as valuable as the red and blue BUFFs.

When a hero gets a kill, the value will be recalculated immediately.

If this was a Rank game, Yuan Shen would consider going over the tower to kill Kennen and give a kill to the opponent. Having played so many Rank games, Yuan Shen is very familiar with some practical tricks and routines for gaining points in random games.

And this set of methods is called "Scientific Pig Farming Method".

But unfortunately, this is a competition. If Fiora dies, she may not lose money economically, but she will lose rhythm.

Of course, if there is a chance to kill Kennen, Yuan Shen will still kill him. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. It’s just that it is not worth paying too much for Kennen anymore.

The top lane was in complete chaos, with Fiora blatantly cutting off the minion line, leaving Kennen to squat in the bush and think about his life.

Before the previous tower is pushed down, Kennen can forget about getting any minions.

As for the bottom lane, EZ and Morgana, who were also abandoned by the strategy, were in a much better situation than Kennen. Both of them did not die and had the opportunity to eat minions and develop. However, when the opponent's mid laner disappeared, they had to quickly retreat under the tower.

After all, the Chinese team gave up voluntarily, while the South Korean team was forced to give up.

The gap caused by the one-in-front and one-behind positions is that the Chinese team is currently leading by more than a thousand team economic points.

In terms of economic distribution, Fiora was leading by more than 2000 in a single match.

The abandoned roads on both sides are all under pressure, just like a hard-working daughter-in-law who has finally become a mother-in-law, and finally they are looking forward to the moment when the first tower is about to be destroyed.

The South Korean team was also ready to take down the second fire dragon immediately after pushing down the first tower.

There is no way to fight for this little dragon. Before EZ's Manacut is fully stacked, his combat effectiveness is slightly insufficient. Spider is no match for Olaf, not to mention when he is lagging behind in development.

It is not suitable for Fiora to join the team during this period of time. She is still too fragile and can be killed instantly.

Here, the Huaxia team made a very clever early switch.

After judging that the next tower was about to be destroyed, Ming left the bottom lane early and went to the upper zone, where he started to farm the Rift Herald with MingKai.

The support's early lane change allowed the Chinese team to move a little faster and naturally take the Rift Herald.

If there is no early lane switch, the opponent will most likely take the dragon first and then the vanguard.

I Want It All

Ming's awareness of changing lanes is one step faster, which is excellent.

After Fiora pushed the previous tower, she came over to pick up the Rift Herald's Buff.

But just then, the worst news came.

"The third one, or a fire dragon?"

Mingkai was a little speechless. When we were in an advantageous position, we always spawned a wind dragon for Ling Zun, but when the opponent was in an advantageous position, we spawned a fire dragon? Why the hell didn't you spawn a big dragon here?
This little dragon is like the opponent's illegitimate child. It is too advantageous to spawn it, and it happens to be stuck during the strong period of the opponent's lineup.

If the main venue of the Olympics was not in Rio, he would have suspected that there had been some tampering.

The tactical thinking of the Huaxia team in this game was very clear, which was to protect the development in the top lane and select two heroes in the bottom lane who are not easy to die and can provide functional roles in team battles even if the development is behind.

The same thing is to give up and let one of the roads go. Because of the initiative, the Chinese team has the advantage in rhythm.

They take the initiative in the rhythm and develop to the mid-game. When Fiora gets the three-piece set, their lineup is very unstoppable. Fiora is invincible in the single lane, and the four people on the front are guaranteed to clear the lane, counterattack, and start a team fight. It can be said to be the most perfect 4+1 system lineup.

With Yuan Shen's ability, it is not a problem to lead the line and push four to one.

But the opponent happened to spawn three fire dragons.

With the support of three fire dragons, the opponent's mid-term output is explosive, and Fiora is still unstoppable in 1v1. However, the Chinese team may not be able to withstand the frontal team battle. No matter how strong the counterattack ability is, it is likely to be killed by hard damage, thus causing the collapse of the four-one split system.

This is the luck factor beyond calculation, strength and tactics.

Although he complained, Mingkai knew that this was normal.

Last year's spring season, EDG was able to win the championship thanks to Deft's several faith critical hits in the last team fight. Without those critical hits, they would not have won the spring championship, nor the subsequent MSI championship.

Luck is also part of strength.

just.

"The next little dragon can't be released."

Yes, even if we have to bite the bullet, we have to take on the next team fight.

"Then I'll make Ice Fist." Jack said. In this version of EZ, you can use Tri-Phase or Ice Fist. The former has higher output, and the latter has stronger functionality. With his personality, he naturally prefers EZ with Incantation and Tri-Phase, but now for the sake of the team's rhythm, he has to choose Ice Fist.

Jack's ability to catch up on development is also well-known.

In fact, even after being abandoned, the difference in last-hit between him and Ruler has remained at an acceptable level, and now he is only about ten behind.

Leaving Jack to develop alone, Ming began to roam with the factory manager to provide vision.

The tactical significance of choosing Spider has been perfectly demonstrated. No matter how much you catch up with Olaf now, it is unlikely that you will catch up with him.

Mingkai simply carried out the idea of ​​​​hunger strike and continued to make trouble.

With Kennen not worth much, they set their sights on Faker in the middle lane.

It is now mid-game, and the opponent's jungler and support are also setting up vision, so the chances of ganking Taliyah are slim.

However, through research over this period of time, Mingkai discovered a weakness of Xiaohuasheng that was not a weakness.

LCK junglers, each one has a green jungle knife.

But Peaunt is an outlier, he doesn't like to be a green jungle knife.

Compared with the green jungle knife that is more inclined to control the map and spread vision, Xiaohuasheng prefers the red punishment jungle knife that enhances the jungler's combat effectiveness. The second is the blue punishment jungle knife that has a stronger ability to catch people.

This habit is the same as Kakao's during last year's spring season.

It’s just that Xiaohuasheng’s decision is a matter of personal habit, while Kakao is forced to do so.

There must be a second big brother in the team to drive the pace.

When you are a tool, who can you rely on?

Posture or child?
This habit of Peanut is definitely not a disadvantage in the Rox team, because the Huya team itself has an extremely fierce offensive rhythm in the early stage and is extremely keen on fighting. They are the only team in the LCK that is the least like an LCK team.

As the name suggests, Rox Tiger is a fierce tiger.

But in today's Korean team, in a team that uses standard LCK thinking for mid, bottom and support, Peaunt's habit becomes a weakness.

In S7, everyone thought that SKT, which defeated RNG and advanced to the finals, would become the unprecedented three-peat champion.

But SKT played poorly, and it was quite severe. They were crushed 8- and did not recover for the entire year of S.

Because Bang was so famous, many people who didn't know the truth blamed SKT's defeat on Bang, saying that he made Faker cry.

In fact, it is not the case. Bang's condition was not at his peak that year, but he was still a world-class ADC player. SKT was able to enter the S game thanks to Bang's outstanding performance.

The reason why people were so impressed by his mistake in pushing the stick was not only because it was the deciding game, but also because it was inconsistent with the impression that Bang always gave people of being a robot.

Just like a good person who always does good things will be immediately condemned once he does something bad.

SKT's real problem that year was the top and jungle.

I won’t mention Huni, he is just an expert in bullying weak players and gives people a very strong illusion, but when he meets a truly top top laner, he will be shattered at the slightest touch.

It's a pity for Peanut. His personal strength was still very strong in S7, but he was not suitable for SKT. What the SKT system needs is actually a jungler who is good at vision, controlling resources, defending the line, and strictly executing team orders.

Does it feel familiar?

It’s normal, because we are talking about junglers like Mingkai.

In fact, Peaunt lost his spirituality and wasted his peak period during the year he stayed in SKT, gradually becoming a small-time player.

This style of play is both Peaunt's weakness and strength.

Without the help of the jungler, it is impossible to achieve an airtight level of vision relying solely on the support. There will inevitably be loopholes in the team's vision, which is a disadvantage.

The red punishment jungle knife greatly enhances the hero's ability to fight in singles. With the same economy and the same hero, the green one will definitely not be able to beat the red one. Combined with Peaunt's first-class operation and offensive nature, the jungle dominance is extremely strong, which is an advantage.

Mingkai targeted his shortcomings.

Vision Vulnerability
Mingkai began to scan the peanut eye positions based on the previous video of the US-South Korea match, and took a route that theoretically had the lowest probability of having vision.

Blocking vision is a basic professional quality for first-line junglers. Mingkai, who is not known for his mechanical skills, is a leader in this area.

Then, Faker's Taliyah entered the hunting range of the Spider Queen.

"Come on, come on, there are no eyes here, there is a chance!" Mingkai said immediately.
"I can follow." Xiye gave a red signal, indicating that he understood.

"Wait for me, wait for me." Ming came over immediately.

In order to wait for Morgana to be ready, Spider stood in the blind spot for ten seconds. Every second could mean he was discovered, which made Mingkai's heart beat faster and he became very nervous.

Lissandra swung out [Glacier Path], and the icy claws advanced forward, causing Taliyah to retreat in panic.

However, the Rock Bird, which had been moving irregularly, suddenly retreated, as if disorder had turned into order, and the predicted position of the movement became clear at a glance.

The Ice Girl takes the initiative and forces the opponent to move. This is the first step.

Immediately, there was a flash of golden light, and the spider appeared and raised his hand!

Cocoon!

hit!

The unexpected control skill made Faker stunned for a moment before he used purification.

Although this moment lasted less than a second, it became the life and death line for Taliyah.

Before the Ice Claws reached Taliyah, Xiye immediately triggered the second stage of E to move, and then flashed to use the ultimate skill to freeze Taliyah.

The spider hung down from the sky and landed on Taliyah, and the two of them used all their skills.

However, because the Spider was too poorly developed and its damage was a little bit lacking, Taliyah was not killed immediately. Its health was very low and it didn't look like it would necessarily die.

The support Karma happened to be nearby, and the loyal CoreJJ immediately flashed over to add a shield to Taliyah, maintaining his health and giving Faker room to use flash to escape.

Seeing this, Mingkai and Xiye were not surprised but happy.

Buy one get one free!
The previous "safety first" wait played a miraculous effect at this moment. Morgana rushed to the battlefield, flashed her ultimate skill, and two soul shackles trapped Taliyah and Karma!

When Olaf heard the news and rushed to the middle road, he only saw two corpses.

"..."

Peanut frowned and said nothing.

The Korean audience in the live broadcast room might be cursing the mid laner and the support, because very few viewers can look at the game from the macro perspective of the entire team, but Xiaohuasheng knows that he also had his own problems in this wave, as he did not help the mid laner to gain vision.

"Clearlove... humph, interesting man."

Peanut's mouth curled up.

Although his opponent was an old man, he still aroused his desire to fight.

But, to be honest, this wave of rhythm is very hurtful.

The mid laner and support were killed, and everyone on the Huaxia team, except the top laner, immediately gathered together and pushed forward.

The middle lane tower was destroyed.

Without the middle tower, it will be more difficult to maintain vision near the middle lane. In addition, the opposing mid laner Ice Girl got two kills, and her equipment will have an advantage.

If the original chance of winning the battle for the next dragon was 70:30, now it is 50:50.

"Naisi!!!"

Mingkai and Xiye were very happy.

However, this joy did not last long.

After Taliyah resurrected and went out, he found a good angle, used his ultimate skill directly and rushed to the middle lane, ambushing Olaf, and started sprinting. The two of them killed the Ice Girl whose flash and ultimate skills were on cooldown.

Faker also showed off a wave of predicted rock rush based on the landing point of the Ice Girl's E skill, which caused cheers from the audience.

too fast.

Taliyah, who had just died after using his two skills in the previous wave, immediately launched a counterattack in the mid and jungle.

No one expected that the South Korean team's counterattack would be so quick.

Among the countless ways to die in League of Legends, dying right out of the gate is the worst.

Because, if you die this time, you won’t be able to buy any equipment, not even to restore your status.

Not only is the economy at a loss, but also the rhythm.

Mingkai is studying Xiaohuasheng, but isn't Xiaohuasheng also studying him?
Calculating that Mingkai would definitely come to the middle lane to supplement the line, Olaf crouched on the route that Spider was most likely to pass.

Seven seconds later, seeing the figure that made his heart beat, Xiao Huasheng showed a confident smile that could make female fans scream. "Mr. Ming, exactly seven seconds, I knew you would come..."

Throw against the current!

Ragnarok!

Fierce and intelligent combos and attacks.

Without Flash Spider, there is no escape.

The spider died.

"He has plotted against me..."

Mingkai was in a trance for a moment, then puffed up his cheeks and showed his signature smile.

The next moment, he said exactly the same words as Peaunt had said a minute ago.

"Interesting junior."

Yuan Shen: “…”

Looking at Ming Kai who was talking to himself as if he was communicating with someone mentally through the air, Yuan Shen sighed.

Even if time and space are broken, the world line changes, and even the stage of the encounter is different, will it still be the same result? ?

The midfielders and junglers of both teams each set the pace and confronted each other head-on.

Just like a fight between two martial arts masters of similar strength, you launch an attack, and I can immediately seize the flaw in your attack and counterattack. The ultimate moves and flashes that Ice Girl and Spider used to kill Taliyah were flaws.

After Olaf killed Spider alone, he was facing F4 on the opposite side. At this moment, Kennen received bad news again.

After Fiora got the Rift Herald Buff, the Korean team had to make a lane change, moving the duo to the top lane and Kennen to the bottom lane.

Because, if he doesn't do this, Kennen won't be able to defend even the second tower against the naturally fat Fiora.

The Korean team could only use the numerical advantage of the duo to suppress Fiora's solo lane.

Peaunt quickly switched to the bottom lane and found Kennen lying dead under the bottom lane tower.

"Brother Jinghao, this..."

"Oh my, I accidentally ate Morgana Q."

Smeb said weakly.

Morgana's Q skill has a very slow flight speed, and many people think that professional players will not be hit by the Q skill based on their reaction. But this is not the case. Morgana's appearance rate in the arena is not low, and the hit rate of the Q skill is not low.

Take the opponent by surprise, force them to move, set the angle... there are ways to make professional players eat Q.

But only Smeb knew that the opponent Morgana's Q in the previous wave was completely a lucky draw, and he was distracted when he was manipulating the position just now, so he was imprisoned.

He pinched his brows in annoyance, trying to concentrate.

Jack was very happy at first after getting the kill, but when he looked at the economy, he immediately looked depressed: "Fuck, this Kennen is worthless, they won't even give me a hundred bucks!"

"Be content! I have just enough money. Let's go back and make the Ice Fist." Xiao Ming said: "Little Dragon, it will be refreshed soon!"

The Fire Dragon is about to be born.

Both sides were well aware of this and took it as a signal. After dealing with the military line, they returned to the city to replenish their key equipment.

In this game, the opponent did not have a tank in the strict sense, so Yuan Shen did not go with the Hydra and Black Cleaver equipment, but instead went with the rich and handsome Hydra Triforce equipment.

The equipment of the rich and handsome man is of high-end quality, but also very expensive. Even with Yuan Shen's natural wealth, it is just enough for him to make Hydra and Tri-Force at this point in time. He does not have any Doran's series equipment on him, and his shoes are still straw sandals.

This equipment is a bit too difficult to use in a team.

Fiora must at least have a bleeding hand to support her tankiness and tolerance, so that she can have the capital to join the team.

At this point in time, it is far from the time for Fiora to exert her strength.

To be more precise, the entire lineup of the Huaxia team has not yet entered the period of power to fight in a team.

But the three fire dragons are too threatening, so we have to fight them even if we don't want to.

Both sides deployed their troops and generals. Fearing that the opponent would kill the little dragon instantly, Fiora did not rely on her TP to go solo, but went directly to the front. All ten people gathered at the river in the lower half, throwing skills at each other to consume and test each other. This fight for the little dragon might very well become a turning point in the game, and no one dared to be careless.

"Wow, the situation is so tense. Neither side wants to give up the dragon, but neither side dares to start. We have been stuck here for thirty seconds!" Wawa said nervously.

Miller nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Hey, Yuan Shen is making some moves here. Fiora is walking to the middle lane and starting to push the line. Do you want to put pressure on the enemy line?"

After quickly pushing the line, Fiora immediately returned to the dragon pit.

The soldiers in the middle lane began to destroy the second tower.

The soldiers' speed in pushing the tower is not fast, but they accumulate over time. If the stalemate continues, Fiora can gain economic benefits and reduce the tower's health. The anxious Korean team started to rush the dragon first.

The dragon's breath splashed, and coupled with the enemy's Poke, Olafu, who was taking the damage, continued to lose health.

This was the reason why neither side wanted to attack the dragon first before.

The damage of the little dragon itself is not low. The most important thing is that once you start fighting the dragon, your movement range is fixed, and you can easily be hit by the opponent's skills.

"I opened!"

Seeing that the fire dragon’s health was almost at the killing line, Xiye didn’t say much and started a fight directly.

Ice Claws launches——

The Ice Girl's E was not thrown out directly, but thrown into the wall.

Wall-blocked E. When the Ice Girl's E skill is released in the wall, she can use the mechanism of blocking the terrain to complete the displacement that exceeds the length of the E skill.

This skill of the Ice Girl was first created by Wei Shen. He left many classic operations and memes in LOL. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many fans hoping that he would return to LOL after he switched to the PUBG professional circle.

And Xiye learned this trick.

The Ice Girl makes a perfect entrance!

He did go in, but Ice Girl's flash was still on cooldown, leaving Xiye with limited targets to imprison with his ultimate.

Taliyah has purification, Annie has E, and Olaf has ultimate.

Only Karma and Kennen can open it. Comparing the top laner and the support, it goes without saying who to choose.

So, Xiye froze Smeb.

The Chinese team rushed forward instantly and kept up with the output.

Kennen was in a disadvantageous situation and couldn't withstand the damage. He was killed instantly before he could even last a second.

However, the Ice Girl, who had no ultimate skill or golden body, was also killed instantly by the Korean team.

It will be awkward for an Ice Girl without flash and ultimate to fight in a team. Only an Ice Girl with Zhonya's Hourglass will have the capital to fight in a team.

For the hero Ice Girl, unless she is laning against an AD hero, the third big item will add the invulnerability.

Again, it is far from the time for the Chinese team to join the fight. If it were not for the luck factor of the three fire dragons, they would still be in the development stage.

This was an unplanned team battle.

But Xiye's move to kill Kennen in an instant also gave Yuan Shen the opportunity to enter the game.

Kennen's development has collapsed, but the hero's mechanism is there. He has AOE damage and stable control in team battles. If there is a Kennen acting as a dog next to the ADC and Yuan Shen cuts in, he is likely to be counter-controlled and then killed instantly by focused fire.

While Olaf and Taliyah were passing their skills to their teammates, Yuan Shen seized the opportunity to enter the field, flashed through the air and killed Ruler.

Following Bang and Pray, another LCK ADC victim was born.

The hero Sivir is in an awkward position facing Fiora, because her magic shield is useless in front of Fiora. Even if it blocks the skill damage of Q, it cannot block the damage caused by the flaw being shattered by Q.

Moreover, the magic shield cannot block Fiora's ultimate move.

Ruler used his ultimate skill in seconds, flashed decisively to create distance, and attacked Fiora under Karma's protection.

But the next moment, the unparalleled challenge was put up.

The target of the ultimate skill was not Sivir, but Karma next to her.

"We've been tricked!" Ruler and Corejj realized this at the same time.

He used Flash Q with a look of killing intent, forcing out the flash and ultimate of Annie, but instantly switched his target to Karma.

Since the Ice Maiden's flash hasn't been restored, Karma's flash certainly hasn't been restored either.

From the beginning to the end, Karma was Yuan Shen's real target.

AE Hydra, triple acceleration of three phases, ultimate, and breaking flaws. Fiora quickly moves around, takes the damage from Sivir, and breaks flaws frantically.

Karma's health dropped rapidly, Ruler gave up his healing to help his support increase health and speed up, while CoreJJ kept moving around to delay time.

The chain of Karma's [Unwavering (W)] has long been hung on Fiora. If the chain is not broken within the time limit, it will cause a confinement effect.

Karma is a support with Q as the main and E as the secondary. If she has R, she chooses R... Based on Karma's level, it can be inferred that she has most likely only learned level 1 of W.

and so--

"The confinement will take effect in two seconds!" Yuan Shen calculated silently.

Perfect timing, Laurent's sharp eyes!

The waist is the bow, the sword is the shield! !

"Try again!"

Fiona's frivolous words made CoreJJ so angry that his face turned red.

On the field, Sword Lady blocked and rebounded the control effect, and the invisible sword energy hit accurately!

Karma was counterattacked and stunned on the spot!

Fiora swung her sword and emptied Karma's last health bar, then used the Air Breaker to rush directly towards Annie.

Ruler moved in detail, first leaving the range of the blood recovery array, then standing against the wall with the sword.

After bearing Sivir's damage for so long, Fiora's health was very low. Even after staying in the health recovery array for a while, her health was less than half now.

A Fiora without her ultimate and with less than half health may not be able to defeat a Sivir with full health.

"Critical hit..." Ruler kept praying as he concentrated on the operation.

Every time a critical hit is triggered, Sivir's chance of winning increases.

ADC's faith critical strike is the only way to save the current situation.

However, luck did not favor Ruler this time. The long sword in Fiona's hand flashed with sword light and she quickly attacked twice.

Deadly Stab——

The second critical hit directly took Sivir away.

Fiora broke into the back of the enemy lineup and killed two people.

However, Yuan Shen couldn't be happy.

Because, at the same time, bad news came from another battlefield.

Jack killed the enemy's mid and jungle Taliyah and Olaf, but before they died, they also replaced Spider and Morgana.

Two against three, but ended up with two for two.

Considering the disadvantages of our bottom lane and jungler, this loss is acceptable.

But this is not the point.

The point is...

"I lost the fight for punishment."

Mingkai gritted his teeth, his face looked very unhappy and he felt very guilty.

Although the opponent was wiped out in a 3-for-5 team fight, they took down the crucial third fire dragon.

"It's not your fault. Your level is lower than Olaf's to begin with, and the opponent used E to punish you."

Jack smiled soothingly.

"Yeah, it's just three fire dragons, it's not like the base exploded, it's not a big problem."

This unplanned team fight was able to wipe out the entire enemy team entirely because Xiye played so well, killing Kennen instantly without him even using any skills, creating an opportunity for Yuan Shen to enter the game.

Otherwise, if the fight goes on normally, the Chinese team, which has not yet reached its peak, would have a fifty-fifty chance of winning.

Unexpectedly, we won the team battle but lost the fire dragon.

What Jack said was not a big deal, he just said something to calm his teammates.

In fact, the influence of these three fire dragons is very great.

With the support of three fire dragons, the Korean team's output has risen to a higher level, and the later the game goes, the stronger their team battle ability will be... By then, even if the Chinese team's lineup enters its power period, it remains to be seen how effective their four-one system can be.

The scales of luck were on the Korean team's side in this round.

Of course, it wasn’t all luck, as Peaunt took control of three dragons in a row, proving his dominance in the jungle.
