Chapter 243-A life and death situation, soaring and killing!

The South Korean team's base lost its last drop of health and shattered in a dazzling light.

"Win! Win!" the doll shouted.

"Yuanshen is alone, slashing the heights with his sword. The light of his sword chills the nineteen continents, and his sword energy spans thirty thousand miles!" Wang Duoduo shouted excitedly, clapping his hands on the table.

"This sword princess..."

Wawa slapped the table and said, "Awesome!"

"Oh my god, this director scared me to death. He suddenly enlarged the split screen in the upper right corner, and I thought I lost." Miller was amused and angry, and sighed repeatedly: "This game was really full of twists and turns, ups and downs, I wanted to buy a quick-acting heart pill halfway through."

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen such a thrilling game since OMG's comeback from 50 blood points." Wawa echoed.

"Even online novels don't dare to write this kind of plot," said Wang Duoduo.

On the other side, at the moment the enemy crystal exploded, Yuan Shen's brain went blank with the sound of the explosion, and an indescribable feeling echoed in his heart.

This is probably the most thrilling match he has won since his debut in his career...

Although he is still seven months away from debuting for two and a half years, he has already seen more big scenes than 99% of professional players.

Yuan Shen came back to his senses when his teammates hugged him excitedly.

"Nice!! Win another one, and I'll be the young model at the club tonight!"

"Brother Yuan, you must be on drugs! It's too strong, I'm wet just looking at it!"

"Awesome, awesome! Today we are all King Kong!!"

"Shit, we actually won the game against the three fire dragons!"

Yuan Shen patted a few people on the shoulders and scolded them with a smile: "Look at you guys, you are so excited before you even win, can you be more calm?!"

"You are so steady." Ming Kai ruffled his hair. "Your face turned pale when you finally dismantled the base."

"That's right, let me see if my pants are wet, haha!"

Xiao Ming came over and pulled Yuan Shen's pants.

Yuan Shen laughed and found it quite amusing. He acted on instinct in the last few seconds and had no idea what his reaction was.

Since his rebirth, most of his operations were calculated in advance, and there were very few people or situations that were so critical that he had to act on instinct.

Several people stood up from their chairs, laughing and cursing at each other, straightened their messy clothes, and returned to the lounge amid the audience's thunderous cheers.

The atmosphere in the Huaxia team is very good.

Abu, who greeted them at the door, felt at first glance that this team had undergone some qualitative changes.

Years of coaching experience told him that although this was a hastily assembled team, it possessed a quality that most teams did not have.

toughness.

Even in the face of adversity, we will never give up or feel despair, but will remain resilient and strive to find opportunities to win.

After returning to the lounge, except for Yuan Shen, everyone else was excited, but they couldn't hide their fatigue.

Especially the oldest one, Mingkai, who had a smile on his face while chatting, but his eyes would be closed for a while from time to time. When he opened them again, there were bloodshot and watery eyes, and he would yawn from time to time.

This is normal.

High-scoring passerby players all know that playing the King of Glory Masters game is extremely energy-consuming. The first two games each day are for warm-up. After getting into the state, the younger players can maintain their best state for about ten games, while the older players can only maintain it for six or seven games at most. After that, the state will gradually decline, and the more you play, the worse it will be. Instead of gaining points, you will lose points.

Even in the highest-scoring Korean server's strongest king game, the level of calculation and concentration required is far inferior to that of professional competitions.

In many BO5 matches, in the last game, even the audience in the low-level divisions can clearly see the extent to which the players' conditions have declined and the error rate has increased significantly.

For example, if Yuan Shen were to give the scores, Smeb's performance in the first game would be 9.5 points, but only 9 points in the second game. In the third game that just ended, he had 8 points at the beginning, but only points left after being caught.

Every minute and every second of the game, the brain is processing information, the body is operating, and it is also under tremendous psychological pressure.

The stronger the opponent and the bigger the stage of the competition, the more energy you need to expend at every moment and the pressure you need to bear will increase exponentially.

You have to understand that these players are playing under the attention of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of players. If you are not born for this profession, this kind of pressure will destroy you.

The joys and sorrows of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people, money and honor, fame and status, this is the weight that professional players carry.

And now, some people are almost crushed by this weight.

As soon as several players from the South Korean team returned to the lounge, their coach took away their mobile phones from their backpacks and unplugged the network cables of their computers.

Can not watch.

At this time, you must not read any information or news from the outside world.

The measures taken by the South Korean team's coaching staff were wise and decisive, but they still did not help.

"coach……"

Smeb's face was pale, his body was covered with sweat, and his lips were dry like a refugee who hadn't had water for days. He made a pleading expression and said, "Coach, I want to be a substitute, please let me be a substitute, I can't beat him, I really can't do it. Please, let me be a substitute, please..."

The coach of the South Korean team was silent and could hardly speak clearly. Everyone could see that Smeb was in a very bad state. If he was forced to play in the game in this state, he would probably not even be able to reach the level of a street master.

In addition to the starting roster, each major team has substitutes for each position in case of emergency.

But substitutes will only be used in the worst case scenario... After all, this is a team that was put together on the spot, and getting five or six people to work together is already the limit, and there is no time to train even the substitutes.

In this regard, the Chinese team did better.

Although the tacit understanding between their starting five is not as good as that of the South Korean team, all ten of them have the possibility of playing.

The South Korean team, in pursuit of the ultimate in cooperation and tacit understanding, put all their energy into the running-in of seven people.

Which seven people?

In addition to the starting five, there are Ruler and Duke.

Fortunately, the South Korean team still has a top laner who can rotate.

It can't be said to be entirely accidental.

Because the management and coaching staff of the Korean team did consider the possibility that their top laner would be defeated by Yuanshen.

"I understand. You should have a good rest." The head coach sighed, patted Smeb's shoulder with an encouraging expression, then turned around and looked at Duke who was sitting on the chair.

"Haocheng, after watching three games, I believe you have already thought about Yuanshen's playing style. The next game is up to you."

“Please, Haocheng!”

"Don't worry, we will win!"

Duke gritted his teeth, walked over and patted Smeb on the shoulder.

"Everything we lost will be taken back!"

……

When the Chinese team received the news that the opponent had requested a substitution, it happened that they were also applying for a substitution.

"Factory, your endurance is not good enough." Yuan Shen teased: "Are you tired already? Woo woo woo, I'm really worried about my sister-in-law."

"Oh my god." Mingkai threw a water bottle at him with measured force, and scolded him with a smile: "Do you think everyone is like you, playing dozens of Rank games and training matches a day, and your condition can be as stable as a dog? Sometimes I really wonder if you are a robot."

"After playing such a thrilling game last time, I was exhausted. Xiao Ming and Jack were also tired. Look at you. You are full of energy after drinking a glass of water. It's really unfair."

"To be honest, Yuan Shen, your stamina is really strong." Xiye nodded in agreement. After playing the last game, although he was not as exhausted as Mingkai, he was also very tired. He estimated that his condition had dropped by about 10%.

Although he only played one game, this kind of high-intensity and long-term confrontation was really energy-consuming.

At this time, the application for replacement was approved.

"Yuan Shen, you should relax a little. We can have a holiday after we win this game."

Abu pinched Yuan Shen’s shoulders.

Although he also wanted to let Flando play, there was no chance at all.

Yuan Shen played a very important role in these games.

There have been replacements in the mid, bottom, jungle and support positions, but in the top position, no one can replace Yuan Shen's position and role.

"Take him!"

Mingkai took a deep breath and felt a little dejected again.

He is old and lacks stamina, and cannot compare with young people. The decline in form is one thing, but the most important thing is that Mingkai himself admitted that his performance was suppressed by Peaunt in the two games he played.

This young man is more powerful than he thought.

The two actually have different styles of junglers and different positions in their respective teams, so they cannot be compared simply by KDA records.

But there is no doubt that this version is more suitable for Peaunt.

Originally, in history, EDG met ROX in the S6 World Championship, and the factory manager suffered a Waterloo in his career.

Because of his play style of maintaining his father's status and maintaining KDA, Zzitai was not the one who took the biggest blame in the three world championship losses in S2, S4 and S5.

But in S6, which is a version dominated by carnivorous junglers, it is okay on his own territory, after all, Old Seven is good at killing familiar enemies.

But in the World Championship, he showed that he was not able to adapt to the new version and his form declined. His horse stepped on flying arrows, 4396...

Peanut stripped off Old Man Seven's underwear and hung it on a pole for people all over the world to watch.

Just like Emperor Qing hanged Chen Pingping on a pole.

Because of this, at the S6 German Cup, some people cried and begged MingKai not to retire.

The blow that year was really too great.

Originally in history, starting from S5, capital has been creating gods, and the chosen target is the factory manager.

In the S5 summer season, EDG and QG played a game, which happened to be the factory manager’s birthday. The official even invited Mingkai’s mother to the scene and made a fried rice with eggs.

The five members of QG waited like that for half an hour, watching others perform.

It was not until S7 that investors gave up on Mingkai and turned to supporting Uzi in S8.

They want an e-sports role model like Faker, who, if successful, will be rewarded a thousand times over.

But in the S8 World Championship, RNG also performed poorly.

Capital suffered a bloody defeat once again.

LPL’s plan to create a god has completely failed.

So they chose to take another path.

Slandering Faker...

In Yuan Shen's impression, even though MingKai practiced in seclusion for a period of time in S7, after returning to the game, his playing style was full of carnivorousness and he started various team fights quickly, but many passers-by still had the impression that he was timid, afraid to start team fights, and wanted to maintain his KDA king status.

MingKai played very aggressively in the S7 World Championship, which could be said to be his best performance in several World Championships.

But unfortunately, they couldn’t even make it to the quarterfinals that time.

In the round of 16, three Lucian games fell below the lower limit.

In his hometown of Wuhan, Mingkai was eliminated in the group stage...

Compared with Yuan Shen's impression, Mingkai is now in very good condition.
Everyone will develop different abilities in different environments. This is what is called survival of the fittest.

Yuan Shen's presence is bound to bring different changes to the entire team. The simplest example is that with him around, Mingkai always has an inexplicable confidence when he acts in the upper half.

The mid and lower players of the Huaxia team do not have to bear too heavy a carry pressure.

The road is as stable as a rock.

This alone makes many teams envious.

The ten-minute break was over, and soon the contestants returned to their seats.

On the Chinese team's side, after the previous game, the atmosphere was very good, with everyone chatting and laughing while chewing gum.

But on the Korean team's side, the atmosphere was unusually solemn. Every player was constantly moving their fingers and discussing BP selection with the coach, with a solemn expression.

The thrills and reversals in the third game were a joy for the winner, but torture and regret for the loser.

One knife, one loss.

It really changed Yuanshen's fate.

They were all thinking, if they had attacked the opponent less and instead destroyed the tower, would they have won?

This feeling is so frustrating, just like the scumbag who said he couldn't get in even if he tried, and after successfully fooling her, was about to take her down in one fell swoop, getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later, when he suddenly found out...

The girl is bleeding.

Run a red light?
A bloody battle?

A gentleman should be ashamed of it!

The other players on the Korean team can understand Smeb's feelings very well.

In the first two games, other positions had wins and losses, but in the top lane, even the winning game had little to do with Smeb. In the third game, he brought out a big daddy, but lost the game by one knife, making Yuanshen a lone hero and he became a national sinner.

Who can withstand this?

Anyone would collapse.

At this time, the news of Duke's rotation was also told to the audience by the commentator, causing heated discussion.

"The last time Duke played against Yuan Shen was in the All-Star Game, right? His performance in MSI was average, I wonder how he will perform this time."

"Duke is still strong in laning, but he is a bit nervous sometimes. Smeb is better than him in stability and teamfights."

"Smeb was carried away as expected. The Kennen who was 0/7 and almost super ghost in the last game was too delicious..."

There was a lot of discussion in the barrage, and viewers who often watch LCK games were explaining the game to viewers who didn’t know much.

Yuan Shen naturally knows the player Duke very well.

Originally, Duke joined IG in S6 after winning the championship in S7, and did not leave until the end of S9.

In fact, the most impressive thing about LCK teams is that they basically have a 4+1 top lane split-lane system. Whether it is an advantageous or disadvantageous game, the 4+1 system of LCK teams will always become a nightmare for opponents and a big problem that is difficult for opponents to solve.

It's just this one tactic that teams from other regions simply can't learn.

In other words, even if they play 4+1 very well in their own region and kill their familiar opponents, they are completely helpless when facing the Korean team on the world stage. They dare not play the 4+1 system and only let the top laner choose mixed heroes.

What's the reason?

Personally, I can’t beat the LCK top laner.

This is the most basic requirement of 4+1, but also the most difficult one.

It is generally acknowledged that LCK is home to many top-level top laners. Almost all of the top laners who have made their mark in the World Championships and beaten the best in other regions are Koreans.

Duke is also a top laner. In terms of honors, as the winner of the S6 World Championship, he is better at controlling the situation than Smeb.

However, in terms of team coordination and top and jungle tacit understanding, Duke is not as good as Smeb.

However, in terms of laning ability, Duke is not inferior to Smeb, and is better at solo laning.

Yuan Shen would not underestimate Duke, but he did not take him too seriously either.

Because I'm a little numb.

In fact, many loyal fans of Yuanshen have already started to complain on Tieba.

Last year, Yuan Shen defeated the veteran Summday, who was the top laner in LCK at the time, the talented top laner Smeb, and SKT's MaRin.

I played against Duke again in the All-Stars this year, met Impact again in the Olympics, Smeb in his peak period, and Duke now.

You LCK guys really have a lot of geniuses, and your ability to generate revenue is incredible.

But no matter how many came, it was useless.

Yuan Shen's fans proudly typed a line on the screen.

"Please welcome the next talented top laner."

The game of life and death has begun!

The news spread quickly. Many players who originally had little free time, upon learning that it was a life-and-death game and that they might miss the moment of winning if they didn't watch, immediately looked for opportunities to slack off and secretly opened the live broadcast room.

There were many office workers who found an excuse, saying that they had a stomachache, ran to the restroom, sat on the toilet, lit a cigarette, and watched with great interest.

Others pretended to be pitiful and finally got their girlfriends' consent to turn off the melodramatic Korean drama and open the live broadcast room of the game.

The influx of another batch of new audiences has made the Olympic Committee smile. According to the advertising agreement, this traffic is money. The more people watch the game, the more advertising fees.

Some of the originally conservative Olympic committee members have shown expressions of delight at this point.

The fourth Banpick began with exciting music.

In this game, the Chinese team came to the blue side and the Korean team came to the red side.

In terms of BP, the latter will be more flexible. Moreover, at this point in the BO5, it seems that whoever gets the red side will win. This somewhat metaphysical phenomenon makes the Korean players and coaches, who have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, feel a little relieved and comforted.

There are not enough ban slots and the version is too strong, so naturally, the party that chooses later will have an advantage because they can be more flexible and can choose people specifically.

The Korean team on the red side's banning strategy remains unchanged, and they still ban the three heroes: Vladimir, Ryze, and Caitlyn.

The Chinese team on the blue side banned Elise, Lee Sin, and Tam.

The difference between the Chinese team's BP and the previous game was that after coming to the blue side, they released Malzahar, the top support in this version.

Then, the Chinese team instantly locked in the Void Prophet Dilire... ahem, Malzahar.

"Do you want to grab Taliyah for Sang Hyuk?"

Big brother Duke said that the current Korean team is lifeless and needs him to talk more to liven up the atmosphere.

Otherwise, in this situation, there is no need to fight, just vote.

"No..." The coach shook his head.

"Leave a counter position for the double C, pick the support and top laner first, and hide a lineup. The opponent is the support grasshopper, CoreJJ, you take the stronger one, and pick a stable top laner...Haocheng, remember what I told you? Steady, steady, you must be steady!"

Immediately, the Korean team locked in the top support player Jyra and the top laner Gnar.

The hero Gnar, like Kennen, strictly speaking has no natural enemies.

Even the immortal Yasuo developed by Yuanshen can only suppress Gnar to a certain extent.

The reason why Yuanshen's top lane Yasuo was able to cause chaos and kill Gnar was not a problem of hero attributes, but a problem of ID.

However, if Yuanshen dared to choose Yasuo this time, the Korean team would be very happy.

Because the Undying Yasuo has been popular for a while, the synthesis formula of Ice Hammer has been changed recently. The attack damage bonus is very low, and it is completely a health equipment, which is no longer suitable for Yasuo.

In fact, in recent versions, top lane Yasuo has been excluded from the mainstream.

After discussing for a while, the Chinese team locked in two heroes.

Barrel Gragas.

Taliyah.

"A jungle Gragas and a single Taliyah as the mid-jungle combination." Miller commented, "It's a reasonable lineup, but..."

"But what?" Wawa looked puzzled.

"Coach Wa, haven't you noticed that Taliyah has never won?" Wang Duoduo said.

This BO5 seems to have a metaphysical rule: whoever gets the red side wins.

This rule can also be said to mean that the blue team loses... Of course, this is nonsense, but the problem is that in these games, the blue team almost always rushed to grab Taliyah, which has become a must-ban hero.

In other words… “I’ve never won by picking Taliyah.” Miller analyzed: “Also, remember when Wei Shen used Taliyah in the second game and was defeated by Faker’s Zed? This hero is very afraid of assassins. It feels like Taliyah is a meta trap now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Faker locked onto the figure of an assassin.

Tidal Sea Spirit Fizz.

Commonly known as the allomorph of Fengjie Valoran...

Ahem, I mean the little fish man.

Before level 3, Fizz acted like a grandson in front of Taliyah, but after level 3, Taliyah was no match for him at all.

From QWER's four skills to the hero's mechanism, they were all completely countered.

When this Fizz was picked, people who had a little understanding of the game felt a pang in their hearts, and many people who cared about the Chinese team cried out that the mid lane was in trouble.

Immediately afterwards, the Korean team took down the God of War in the fourth pick, leaving the jungler with the last counter position.

It's the Chinese team's turn to choose players. These are the last two heroes, and it's time to show their moves.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Huaxia team chose...

Lucian the Holy Lance.

Wings of Demacia Quinn.

"Quinn on top, Gragas in the jungle, Taliyah in the middle, Lucian + Malzahar on the bottom." Wawa said, "Our team's lineup has high teamfight damage output, but the front row is weak. It's a standard early and mid-term lineup. It depends on what the Korean team chooses!"

"When facing a herbivorous jungler like Gragas, if we are on the back foot, we should lock on Graves." Miller said with a frown.

As expected, Peaunt locked onto the very offensive Graves.

Some viewers who watched the show from beginning to end immediately noticed that this lineup was very similar to the second show.

In the early and mid-game, the team has an advantage in the upper and lower lanes, but is at a disadvantage in the mid and jungle. In the late game, the teamfight is not as strong as the opponent...

However, except for Ueno, the other three have changed.

The fans who were angry at the lack of fighting spirit, the trolls who seized the opportunity, and the commentator who cared about the team were just about to complain about the poor BP, but at this moment, there was an extremely strange swap between the heroes in the five positions of the Chinese team.

Taliyah, who was supposed to be the mid laner, was moved to the jungle position.

Malzahar, who was supposed to be a support, was switched to the mid lane.

The Gragas, who was supposed to be the jungler, was moved to the support position.

The lineups of both sides are finalized.

"Huaxia Team Blue Side:
Yuanshen Top Lane: Wings of Demacia - Quinn
Jungler MLXG: Rock Bird-Taliyah

Mid laner Xiye: Void Prophet - Malzahar
Bottom lane JackeyLove: Holy Lance Ranger - Lucian

Support Name: Barrel-Gragas
South Korea Red Team:

Duke Top: Lost Fang - Gnar
Peanut: Graves the Outlaw
Faker in the mid lane: Tidal Wave-Fizz
Bottom Lane Ruler: Jhin

Support CoreJJ: Rising Thorns - Zyra. "

The Haier Brothers, the great poet Wang Duoduo, and the three commentators were all stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they could not believe such a thing was possible.

"666——!"

The Chinese team's lineup is incomprehensible.

Void Prophet Malzahar, according to the official positioning, is originally a mid-lane hero.
The reason why he became the top support hero and the popular jungle hero some time ago was purely because of the routines developed by the players themselves. With the weakening adjustments made by Riot designers, Malzahar will soon disappear from the jungle and support positions to make way for other heroes.

Therefore, everyone can accept the mid-lane grasshopper.

The issue is……

"Tialah as jungle and Gragas as support, are these two feasible?" Wawa asked doubtfully.

"I don't know." Miller shook his head and said, "Not to mention the World Championship, I have never heard of this combination in the leagues of various regions. However, our team dared to choose it in the final game, so there must be a reason for it. Let's wait and see."

If Yuan Shen were to say so, of course it would be feasible.

Taliyah as jungle and Gragas as support are both mainstream heroes popular in S8.

In version 8.11, Taliyah's Q skill no longer has AOE damage, and its proud wave-clearing ability has been castrated. Compared with any mainstream mid laner, it cannot push the line, and has completely fallen from the position of T1 mid laner.

However, players never lack wisdom.

Since I can't stay in the middle lane anymore, I'll go to the jungle.

With this idea in mind, the Taliyah jungler was developed and quickly became a popular choice in tournaments.

In other words, Taliyah is not able to play jungle because of any enhancements in the version, but because its laning ability was weakened, it developed to the jungle position in order to avoid natural enemies. As a result, it was found to be unexpectedly useful.

Treasure girl, confirmed.

This means that it is completely feasible to play Taliyah as a jungler in the S6 version, but no one has considered this possibility, or in other words, the most suitable position for Taliyah in the current version is still mid-lane.

Just like playing a single tank Ekko last year.

Not the first choice, but that doesn't mean it can't be played.

After Rock Bird became popular in the competition, Yuan Shen naturally recalled this and talked about it with his teammates.

Coincidentally, the first LPL professional player to start playing Taliyah jungle was... Mala Xiangguo.

Compared with later generations, the changes to the wine barrels are minimal, so they can still be used.

During the preparation stage, Uzi practiced Jhin hard, GodV hid his cannon and Twisted Fate, Xiye practiced Malzahar, Xiangguo practiced Taliyah, and Xiao Ming practiced Gragas.

This isn't something you can just play a couple of Rank games and think you can play.

Not only do you have to understand the hero's combos and operations, you also have to know how to use this hero to face the mainstream heroes of that version and how to fight in team battles. Many professional players don't dare to use this hero in the competition without practicing hundreds of games.

Not to mention, it's on a world-class stage.

Several members of the Huaxia team took time out from their daily training and tactical training to practice, which was no more than three or four hours a day. They were able to practice so quickly, purely relying on their talent.

"Yaer, this swing change... is so wonderful." PDD was sitting with his legs crossed in the live broadcast room, lighting a cigarette and explaining the game to his fans. When he saw the Chinese team's fancy rotations, he almost choked to tears on the smoke and couldn't help but applaud.

"I don't know about the Taliyah jungler, but this lineup change at least confused Faker. He used his Fizz to counter Taliyah, like a mother against a daughter, but the one laning against him was Malzahar, a father-level figure. Faker's head must be so big that it's about to split."

"Which head is cracked? Damn, you guys are really slutty!!"

"No, no, no, Saozhu, I really didn't drive. To be honest, unless the opponent is a moron, there is really no way that the murloc can beat the grasshopper. Ask anyone who is proficient in murloc and they will tell you the same. They can't push the line, they can't fight, and they are completely countered in team fights. If you don't believe me, I'll call Lu Benwei right now and ask him to evaluate this lineup."

PDD analyzed the ethical relationship between heroes in a simple and easy-to-understand way, discussing who is the father and who is the daughter. At the same time, Summoner's Rift came into view of thousands of viewers on the big screen, which made everyone excited and cheered.

The game officially begins.

Using Quinn to face Gnar, Yuan Shen's talent is Fervor of War and his starting equipment is Doran's Blade.

When I got to the line and took a closer look, I found that Gnar’s talents and starting equipment were the same as his.

Fervor of War + Doran's Blade.

"Very good, very Duke style." Yuan Shen said with a smile.

Playing style is something that is engraved in the player's bones and cannot be easily changed without long-term corrective training.

The Korean team coach told Duke to be steady, but he didn't know what the word steady meant.

It depends on the individual player.

Some people would choose to be patient and avoid fighting, but others think... offense is the best defense.

If I reduce your health, you will not dare to suppress me wantonly.

Quinn has always been a hero with a mediocre appearance rate in games and ranks, neither at the bottom nor OP. He lives a very low-key life and this kind of hero is rarely noticed by designers.

The only difference between the current version of Quinn and the future Quinn is that the dazzling offensive has not been strengthened for the time being and does not have the effect of reducing the enemy's vision. There are no changes to other numerical values.

What is Quinn's advantage against Gnar?
Yuan Shen’s answer is – distance.

Passive [Invasion], marks Gnar as vulnerable.

Finish off with the last hit and move around, blocking Gnar's stiffness when he's about to finish off with a basic attack, then close the distance and launch a basic attack silently.

The top laner must not be traded irresponsibly, Duke turns around and counterattacks, QA counterattacks.

However, Quinn dodged Gnar's dart by moving at a right angle, turned around to make a normal attack, and then used [Spin ​​and Kill] to kick the target and do a backflip, interrupting Gnar's normal attack while causing him to be slowed down and vulnerable, and then attacked again.

AAEA.

In this wave of blood exchange, from beginning to end, Quinn launched a total of three normal attacks, plus one E damage, two of which triggered the vulnerable state.

And Gnar didn't even touch Quinn at all.

What's the reason?

The attack distance is stuck.

Quinn's attack range is only 525 yards, making him a short-handed hero among shooters.

But Gnar is shorter... The attack range of the small Gnar form increases with the level. The initial distance is 400, and the maximum level distance is only 500.

In other words, at level 1, Quinn and Gnar have an attack distance difference of 125 yards, which is a huge advantage.

Not to mention anything else, in the Rank game, Deft used the hero Xayah to show off to the Kaisa player who was at the highest level of King.

The attack range of Kaisa and Xayah is 525, but the opponent didn't even have time to attack Xayah and was killed by Deft.

It is very common to see ADC players blocking the distance and pulling back to attack.

There are even cases where short hands pull long hands.

As for the so-called operation, hero combo is just the most basic.

Details like distance, stiffness, and positioning are more profound skills.

Cap attack distance is a basic operation for first-line professional ADC players.

But for most professional top laners, it is a blind spot in skills.

Duke looked at the lost blood volume and his mind was full of question marks.

You are a professional top laner, why are you so good at capping attack distance?
In addition to top lane and jungle, Yuan Shen also knows a little about ADC.

no way.

When playing a hero like Jesnar, you also need to practice keeping distance.

However, it was the first time that Duke had witnessed Yuan Shen's ability.

They had not fought each other many times, so naturally there was no chance for them to get to know each other.

After losing a set of blood to Bai, Gnar should have been more stable and waited for his blood to recover.

But Duke still wanted to operate.

The current South Korean team needs someone to step up and open up the situation and boost the confidence of teammates.

Duke knew this was his responsibility.

After the last game, the other four teammates were a little depressed.

He must stand up.

even if...

The opponent is Yuan Shen.

The God of Top Lane.

However, Duke soon realized the gap between himself and Yuan Shen.

When it comes to distance carding, besides the sense of distance, the most important thing is the reaction speed.

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I harass.

In terms of reaction speed alone, Yuan Shen is not inferior to anyone.

As soon as Gnar moved forward, Quinn would retreat in sync. As soon as Gnar stopped to finish off the enemy or retreated, Quinn would seize the opportunity to kill them.

The worst thing is that the interruption effect of Quinn's E skill very finely interrupted the pre-swing of his basic attack, forcibly canceling Gnar's basic attack, making Duke a little autistic.

Just after reaching level three, Gnar's blood bottles had been used up, leaving less than 50% of his blood, while Quinn still had 70% of his blood, and his red potion had not been used yet. This little blood was basically lost by the minions.

In this game, blood exchanges were very frequent on all three roads.

In this situation, the director cut the camera very frequently. When the camera turned back to the top lane, Wawa immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, what's going on in the top lane? How did Gnar's health get so low? Doesn't this hero have no natural enemies?"

"I think Duke is pretty good. He hasn't been killed by a single player in such a long time." Miller was praising him but actually criticizing him. The two old hands had an unusual tacit understanding and their weirdness caused a lot of complaints in the barrage.

“Ahem.” Wang Duoduo couldn’t quite keep up with the pace and said honestly, “I saw Gnar getting attacked by a white A in the previous shots. I’ve heard from many professional players in the circle that Yuan Shen’s basic skills are top-notch for an ADC.”

As they were talking, a fight suddenly broke out in the wild area.

Xiang Guo started the game with red buff, and after refreshing the double buffs, he immediately prepared to invade the upper half of the opponent's jungle area, wanting to confirm the position of the male gun.

As a result, he ran into Peaunt's Graves who was farming river crabs near the middle lane.

Just like the previous match against North America, the moment his body instinctively felt that he could win, Xiang Guo attacked without hesitation, not giving his opponent or his own brain time to think.

Peaunt's reaction was also completely different from that of the North American jungler.

He decisively chose to turn around and fight back, not afraid at all.

In the current version, Graves is a T1-level jungler. His ganking ability is not strong, but his damage is terrifyingly high, and few heroes can compete with him.

Xiao Huasheng believes that there is no reason for him to be cowardly.

At the moment when Taliyah used Q, Graves threw out a smoke bomb, used E skill to attack with damage, and used QA to trigger Thunderbolt. Taliyah's health dropped sharply, and he walked out of the smoke bomb while using Q. After the vision returned, Taliyah turned around and spread out a stone formation to slow down Graves.

The two fought near the grass near the river in the upper lane. The moment Taliyah hid in the grass, he used the blind spot of vision to cover up Taliyah's starting action.

But how quick was young Peaunt's reaction?
The moment Rock Sparrow attacked, he used Flash to dodge the opponent's skills and rushed to Rock Sparrow's face.

However, at the moment when Graves flashed, Taliyah also flashed, and the direction of her flash was to Graves' original position, which was also close to the middle lane.

Polar reversal!
Why close to the middle?
Because Malzahar came to support first.

The moment the junglers on both sides started fighting, the top and mid players on both sides began to provide support.

The importance of line rights is fully revealed at this moment.

Whether it is the top lane or the middle lane, it is now in the hands of the Chinese team, and their support for the jungle is also faster!

Only then did Peaunt realize that he was surrounded.

Mistake!
The pot-style jungler's intelligence-reducing method made him unable to judge the situation properly, but besides this reason, there is another reason.

That is, Xiaohuasheng is unclear about the positioning of the hero Taliyah in the jungle food chain, and always feels that this kind of mage will be easy to bully when he goes to the jungle.

Without time to regret or reflect, Peaunt's brain worked rapidly and began to make up for the mistake.

If you run up, your way will be blocked by Quinn and you will be gang-raped.

Running to the middle, even though Malzahar came to support first, Faker could make up for the distance defect and keep up with the damage as long as he used flash. If the two of them could kill Taliyah in one second, this wave would not be a loss.

At the moment of making this judgment, Graves continued to chase Taliyah, while constantly shouting in the team voice that they could fight.

In the emergency, Faker didn't have time to think too much. His teammates were so determined, so he naturally had to follow suit. He controlled Fizz to flash QW and put ignite on Taliyah.

Xiye also used all his skills on the opposing male gun.

However, because Malzahar had TP, the Chinese team lost the damage of ignite.

The mid and jungle were fighting fiercely, and at the same time, the two top laners who were supporting the river also started fighting.

Quinn and Gnar went to the river to support at the same time, but the difference was that there was grass on the wall near the blue side.

The moment Yuan Shen stepped into the bushes and made Quinn disappear from the opposite side's sight, he immediately realized that a fleeting opportunity had come.

He suddenly changed his mind and decided not to provide support, but to... kill people!
When Quinn entered the bushes, Duke subconsciously thought that the opponent was also moving down. However, when Gnar, who was a step slower, was about to walk through the bushes but Quinn on the opposite side didn't show up, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Quinn, who came out a step slower, broke the vulnerable mark on his body first, then used the Q skill and then followed up with a basic attack.

Gnar immediately jumped back with his E skill, but Yuan Shen half-anticipated and half-reacted and used [Spinning Kill (E)], interrupting Gnar's E and marking him as vulnerable.

"This……"

Duke was stunned when his E skill was interrupted, and then he immediately realized that his life was in danger. He flashed decisively to create distance and threw Q back predictively.

This Q was thrown with great detail. If Quinn had not used flash immediately to follow up, he would definitely have been slowed down by this Q.

On the contrary, if Quinn does not dodge immediately, but habitually uses the EA combo, when he suddenly loses vision during the normal attack, his operation may easily become stiff and freeze in place.

Just by being stiff like this, Gnar can run away.

Duke made great decisions on the fly.

However, Yuan Shen adopted a third approach.

He did not flash immediately, nor did he pause. After the E skill was used, Yuan Shen did not follow up with the A. Instead, he took two steps in the direction of Nal's flash based on prediction. When he saw that the dart was about to hit his face, he used a shuttle flash.

After flashing, Quinn follows up with a normal attack to break the vulnerable mark.

Follow up with movement, cancel the backswing, and then make a normal attack.

Afterwards, Quinn did not continue to attack, but moved to avoid the Q that was coming back, and followed closely behind Gnar, staying within the attack range.

"Why not A?"

Duke thought subconsciously.

Immediately, he realized something and his heart skipped a beat.

"Seven, eight..." The moment Yuan Shenmo counted to eight, a golden vulnerable mark appeared on Nar's body.

Passive skill [Invasion]: Mark an enemy as vulnerable every eight seconds, and normal attacks will cause additional physical damage.

After the vulnerable mark appeared, Yuan Shen launched the last two normal attacks.

The damage was just enough to kill Gnar.

If Quinn does not follow up and wait for the vulnerable state to appear, but instead attacks with a basic attack early, he will be out of the attack range after receiving two basic attacks at most. According to Yuan Shen's calculations, the damage will be about 20 points less, which is not enough to kill Gnar.

"..."

Duke looked silent, feeling his palms sweating.

Players at a lower rank, seeing this solo kill, might just think that Quinn’s E skill interrupted Gnar’s E, and then he chased Gnar all the way to death, which was nothing special. They think that the skill special effects flying all over the place, and various one-on-three situations, were what was called a show.

But the higher the rank, the more calculations you can see. In Duke's opinion, Yuan Shenkui's single kill operation was so detailed that it couldn't be more detailed.

To put it in a very popular phrase recently - taste it, taste it again, and taste it carefully.

The more you repeatedly taste and chew this process, the more you discover the horror of it.

At the same time, the chaos in the middle field also ended.

Because of the additional ignite damage, Taliyah was killed first, but Graves also died soon after.

The junglers swapped places, and the mid laner took the lead.

Not bad in terms of performance, but...

"I earned a flash." Xiye smiled happily, "This little Fizz jumped, brother."

"I thought so too." Xiang Guo agreed.
