Chapter 273-Future Guardian, Extreme Swing!

"It seems that Yuanshen is a very stable player."

Park Ji-sun said with a reluctant look on her face.

Yuan Shen shrugged and said, "Everyone knows how to win the game. That is to steadily get through the early and middle stages, ensure the advantage, and then snowball."

"Ah! So that's what it is."

Park Ji-sun was stunned by what she had been fooled.

"Wow! You are amazing……"

After Park Ji-sun finished speaking, the way she looked at Yuan Shen changed.

Yuan Shen coughed, feeling a little guilty.

Isn't this all nonsense? What's so great about it?

"To collapse the opponent is to be steady."

“Enterprise-level understanding!”

"I am dying of laughter. Yuan Shen is as coquettish as ever."

"This interview with B is so interesting. They just got married in the church."

At the scene, Park Ji-sun asked again: "Your Prince's early rhythm in this game was very beautiful, and the mid-term team battle performance was also very good. What do you think?"

"Hmm... Actually it's not that bad. After fighting for ten minutes it's actually not that difficult anymore. I'll win no matter how I fight."

Park Ji-sun looked at Yuan Shen beside him and praised sincerely: "Yuanshen is really confident! Now that you have secured first place in the group, what are your expectations for the results of this world competition?"

"Let's set a small goal, two consecutive championships."

"Oh yes, Erlian... huh???"

Park Ji-sun was dumbfounded.

We are only first in the group, but we are already aiming for a second consecutive championship? ?
Although LCK won the world championship for two consecutive years, it was won by two teams.

It is extremely difficult for the same team to win two consecutive championships!

"Then I wish all Yuanshen's wishes come true."

Park Ji-sun smiled, and Yuan Shen on the side looked at her in surprise.

"Thank you."

……

The interview ended quickly, and Yuan Shen returned to the lounge yawning, only to see that everyone in IG looked unhappy.

"ANX beat SSG, the third game begins."

"EDG is going to lose."

Just by taking a look at the big screen, Yuan Shen understood what had happened.

Although only eight minutes had passed, EDG was already two thousand economic points behind.

The bottom lane tower was also demolished.

SKT also brought out a climbing combination, with veteran Bengi coming on the court and cooperating with Faker to drive the rhythm of the entire game.

EDG's lineup looks very solid, but the combination of Excavator and Viktor cannot compete with the Rock Climbing combination in the early stage.

The final result was just as Yuan Shen expected.

Familiar team battles, familiar crushing defeats.

EDG seemed to be under a curse.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and the United States has become the burial place of EDG.

This familiar place did not bring them luck, but brought them bad luck.

We lost the game again, and we lost very unwillingly.

Some of the audience were so excited that they burst into tears.

All EDG members looked ashen, and the factory manager’s eyes were red, and he couldn’t control his tears.

The IG members were watching the scene on the big screen in the lounge and couldn't help but feel sympathetic.

They also felt aggrieved because EDG was their partner and their brother team.

It's not a pleasant feeling to feel the same way.

"It's over, it's really over now." Someone said.

Everyone knows that EDG is probably doomed this time.

Zero bar three, there is only a theoretical possibility of qualifying.

Even if we win all the games in the second round, there is only a theoretical chance of qualifying.

In the three China-Korea battles, LPL lost two games in a row.

LCK came back from a 1-2 deficit and won successfully.

The position of LPL's first division seems to be not so stable again.

Originally, because of winning the S5 championship, two consecutive MSI championships, the S5 All-Star championship, and the Olympic Games championship, the Chinese LOL has already shown signs of standing up.

But with nearly half of the group stage played, the strength shown by LCK still shocked players all over the world.

Except Samsung, of course.

They even lost the wild card, they have lost all their face!
Soon, the fourth game was over.

FW, lost to C9.

As a result, the ranking of Group C appears extremely confusing.

C9, SKT, and FW are all 2-1, only EDG is 0-3.

It was not until this time that people realized that reaching the quarterfinals every year was actually the best wish.

"If EDG wins all the second rounds and SKT wins two games, then SKT will be 4-2, EDG 3-3, and whoever wins between FW and C9 will be 3-3. There is still a chance."

After Yuan Shen finished speaking, everyone in IG sighed.

too difficult.

Not to mention whether EDG can adjust in the second round to defeat FW and C9, just defeating SKT is not an easy task.

If they lose any game, they will definitely be eliminated in the round of 16.

Like walking on thin ice and facing the abyss.

There is no room for error!
If they lose the game, regardless of the outcome, the mentality of the EDG players will probably completely collapse.

Completely, I guess they are afraid of seeing LOL now...

After coming down from the stage, EDG returned to the backstage. They had no intention of talking to anyone at all. Everyone lowered their heads, hurriedly picked up their things, and went straight back to the hotel.

On the fourth day of the group stage, Group C had a bye.

EDG will have six days to adjust.

Their second round match will be played on October 10th.

Four games were fought in one afternoon.

Because even if EDG wins three games in a row, they will still have to play a tiebreaker.

The pressure is too great.

“I hope they’ll go over there.”

Yuan Shen shrugged and then sighed.

"Our luck is average. We will still play in the first round tomorrow."

This is the drawback of Group A, or it may be a targeting by the tournament officials.

In the first game tomorrow, they will play against ANX.

After consecutive wins over H2K and SSG, no one would underestimate this wildcard team from the CIS.

AXN's double Cs are from Ukraine, and the other three are Russian.

As a CIS team, ANX was originally the first wildcard team to reach the knockout stage.

IG won two games in a row, they also won two games in a row.

Tomorrow's game will completely determine who will be the first in the group.

Of course, this is just the first round.

……

The next day, they woke up at ten o'clock, washed up quickly, and headed to the competition venue.

At the same time, the EDG members seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. They were in the same hotel, but when the IG members were eating, they couldn't even see their shadows.

The bus arrived at the venue and there were still a lot of spectators today.

EDG fans are crying, IG fans are celebrating.

It’s the final day again, which will determine the qualification of the two LPL teams. LPL fans are all looking forward to it.

The situation in Group B is equally complicated.

ROX has won two games in a row, so it won't be a big problem for them to face SPY today. They have secured three wins in advance and are now in first place in the group.

CLG and RNG currently have a record of 1-1. Whoever wins today will have a record of 2-1 and second in the group.

In Group A, there were two 2-0s and two 0-2s.

People come and go, and it's still prosperous.

No one mourned the fall of EDG, because the upcoming team is the LPL's number one seed, the spring and summer champions, the MSI champion, and the S5 World Championship champion team - IG!

……

10 month 3 day.

The last day of the first round of the 2016 World Championship group stage.

Today is the fourth day of the group stage, and today's schedule will determine the fate of countless teams.

Whether you can continue to stay on this world's grandest stage and continue to show yourself depends on your ability.

The LPL region's number one seed IG and number three seed RNG both have games today.

IG is very lucky. Although they always play the first game, they are always on the red side.

In the current version, the red side has too big a BP advantage.

Although we have to go to the blue side in the second round, the mentality is completely different between a 3-0 start and a 0-3 start.

However, in today's game, IG is on the blue side, so this can be considered as a preview of the blue side's BP ideas.

As soon as the IG players entered the lounge, they began to nervously prepare on-the-spot tactics, reviewing their own system and playing style to see what they needed to pay attention to.

After the first three days of competition, the atmosphere within the IG team has obviously become more mature and stable.

Before this, TheShy and Xiao Ming had no experience in major competitions, but now they have finally made up for this shortcoming, and they are growing at a terrifying speed, like a sponge madly absorbing water to make up for their deficiencies and weaknesses.

"Let's play today. We can't let others think that we can't play tanks in the top lane."

Fu Manduo stroked his chin and pondered.

Can TheShy be a tank?
In fact, I can, and I play it very well.

But as long as TheShy is on the court, no one would think that IG would choose a tank for the top lane.

Because every time IG needs the top laner to take on the responsibility of initiating a team fight, it is always Zizi who is on top.

This is a misleading message that IG has left to the outside world. Although we don’t know whether it is useful or not, the more smoke bombs the better.

"Okay, if all else fails, I'll use Victor to put some pressure on them!"

"Come on, I have a hero that's perfect for you."

"Make it! I don't play with big trees."

"Then Titan."

Yuan Shen waved his hand, looked at him resentfully, and sighed deeply.

……

"This is the 2016 League of Legends World Championship. Long time no see, everyone!"

"Hello everyone, I am Doll!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Rita!"

The camera switches to the commentary booth, where Wawa, Miller, and Rita are all dressed in formal attire.

Rita also wore a blue-white cheongsam full of ancient Chinese charm, with her hair piled up high, looking like a very beautiful vase.

But the audience in the live broadcast room was instantly excited!
“Blue and white!!”

"S5's battle uniform? Is this the female version?"

“It’s obviously IG’s champion skin series!”

"It feels good. Sister Tazi is so pleasing to the eyes!"

The atmosphere on the scene was also very lively.

“The audience was really excited today.”

The doll laughed.

"Yes, but I want to correct you. We just explained it yesterday. How can you say it's been a long time?" Miller immediately started to interrupt.

"Hey, you are boring. As the saying goes, one day apart feels like three years. One hour apart from my audience friends feels like three years!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Xiu Xiu Xiu!!"

"It's starting now? Crosstalk commentary?"

Miller and Rita couldn't help laughing too.

"What's wrong?" Wawa asked
"No problem, no problem!" Miller said: "IG really made us all excited yesterday. But at the same time, EDG is in a bad situation now... I hope they can adjust their condition in the coming offseason... Then the first game today is our LPL's No. 1 seed IG against the ANX team from the CIS!" "Oh oh oh!! Come on IG!!"

When they heard the name IG, the audience immediately cheered again.

"Really, the audience here is so enthusiastic. They really like our number one seed team, and IG's performance in this S game is perfect!" Miller said in a loud voice.

"Yes, IG's unique playing style, including the players on their team, are all very strong."

In e-sports, strength is king.

With good results, naturally there are many fans.

"Especially Master Yuan. He is really strong, extremely strong, you know? In the past year and a half, he has never let us down, not even once!"

"Yes, and if I remember correctly, Rita seems to have commented on IG's games a few times? What do you think of Yuan Shen?"

"Ah? Me? I think he's very handsome, whether it's in the game or..."

Before Rita finished speaking, the audience was already excited.

"God Yuan is mine!!"

"Jimei, draw your sword!"

"It's time to fight to the death!"

……

"Today, IG chose Zzitai to play. In this case, IG's play style may be different from before, because we all know that when Zzitai plays, IG usually plays tank heroes in the top lane."

After he finished speaking, the camera switched to the BP interface.

In this game, IG is on the blue side and ANX is on the red side.

As soon as the game started, IG specifically banned Vladimir, Poppy, and Anivia.

ANX also targeted them in the same way, banning Graves, Ezreal and Brand.

"Wow, ANX banned two junglers right at the start and didn't even release Graves." The commentators shook their heads upon seeing this.

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to Yuanshen's male gun. Is it really that scary? Oh, no, forgive me for not believing it, because I have never seen him use the male gun."

In the European commentary booth, a commentator in a suit and tie shook his head.

"Then do you know why Graves is always banned?" Another beautiful European lady said exaggeratedly, "It's because opponents are afraid of his Graves... Do you know? Jones?"

"Maybe, but ANX seems to have made a mistake. They let the prince out!"

LPL commentary booth.

"ANX released the Prince, the Prince of Yuan Shen in the last game. Does IG want to grab him?" Wawa said excitedly, thinking of the peerless Prince in the last game.

But IG obviously had a plan and got Zyra first.

"IG has taken Zyra, no problem, but the opponent may use Ashe to counter, although it weakens the laning strength, but it is still playable. Then ANX should take Jarvan IV. It depends on what ANX chooses, whether to choose AD and jungle first, or the bottom lane duo..."

"Wow, as expected, ANX chose Prince Lulu. They want a stronger jungler. After all, Yuanshen's personal ability shown in the past few games is too scary. We must guard against Yuanshen in the early stage."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, ANX directly locked on the combination of Jarvan and Lulu.

Next, IG directly selected Miss Fortune, determined the bottom lane combination, and finally took out Jayce.

"IG picked the bottom lane duo first in this game, Caitlyn. Are they going to push the tower quickly? If the mid and jungle help in the early stage, it is still easy to start the rhythm in the bottom lane. But this Jayce... shouldn't be played by Zzitai? I think it can be given to Rookie. The mid-lane Jayce is still very powerful when combined with the AP jungler. Spider and Nidalee are both good."

The doll said.

After that, ANX picked Shen again, and it seemed that he was ready to withstand the pressure after seeing Jayce.

The fourth pick was ADC Mouse.

The final Counter position is reserved for the mid laner.

After all, IG's current lineup doesn't seem to be anything special.

"Look, IG can now choose Elise or Nidalee, both of which work well with Jayce." Wawa said.

However, the next second, IG directly locked on Lucian and Viktor!

"what???"

"This……"

"The system is wrong? Viktor is the jungler? What the hell?"

"Lucian is the jungler? Can anyone tell me who is the jungler here?"

When IG locked down the last two heroes, the whole audience was stunned.

"???"

“Viktor? Lucian? Which one is the jungler?”

Commentary seat.

"Hey, what the hell are these two choices of IG, brother?" The boy looked at Miller.

Miller also shook his head in amazement: "I don't know, human confusing behavior..."

"This Victor jungler? It seems like someone has played it before, but it doesn't fit. How is this possible?"

"Then it should be Lucian as the jungler?" Rita said.

"No, that's not right. It could be Lucian in the mid lane, Viktor in the top lane, and Jayce in the jungle?" Miller guessed.

"Zizi's Viktor is very proficient, but if this happens...IG will have no front line!"

Wawa said: "It could also be Viktor in the middle, Jayce in the top, and Lucian in the jungle??"

"???"

The audience was stunned by what they heard.

"Who is the jungler?"

"I fainted after hearing this!"

At the same time, the ANX team was also confused, but then the ANX coach's face changed: "Fuck, if they shake like this, what's the use of our counter position!"

There are only five positions in LOL, and the top, mid and jungle are all shaking together, who can withstand this?
In the stadium, IG's extreme swing made everyone shake!
"As for IG's move, I still prefer Jayce as the jungler. Even though it's impossible, compared to Viktor and Lucian, Jayce is still the tallest among the short ones..."

After Miller finished speaking, ANX also chose Ryze as the last pick.

"ANX picked Ryze in the mid lane. In this case, their last counter position was completely confused by IG. They picked a late-game hero. IG's BP had already messed up ANX's BP plan.

Some of the audience couldn't help laughing out loud.

"But in this way, the ANX lineup has become a double support lineup, and with the late-game double Cs of Ryze and Rat, Jarvan IV and Shen can also ensure the early-stage ganks and rhythm. This lineup is good in both the early and late stages, and it fits the version. It looks pretty good!" Miller said.

"That's right, there are no weak teams in the World Championship. ANX's reaction speed alone is enough to make it a strong team. We can see that both sides have started to switch heroes... Now I want to know who is the jungler for IG?" After Wawa finished speaking, both sides began the final stage of changing heroes.

IG's bottom lane position changed a bit, while the top, mid and jungle positions changed one after another...

The last one, a handsome, rich man holding a electromagnetic gun, landed in the jungle position!
Viktor went to the top lane, and Lucian went to the middle lane!
"Wow! It's Jayce in the jungle!"

Seeing this scene, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"This... Jayce as a jungler? Is this okay? Is this possible?" Miller Doll had several exclamation marks on his face.

Now that you have chosen it, there should be no problem. Besides, Jayce's Q in both forms and W in cannon form are both AOE damage. If you can hold on through the initial period, clearing the jungle will not be slow either.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

“IG Blue Side:
Top laner Zz1tai: Mechanical Pioneer-Victor

Jungler Yuanshen: Future Guardian - Jayce
Mid laner Rookie: Holy Lance Ranger - Lucian

Bottom lane JackeyLove: Caitlyn, the policewoman of Piltover

Support Name: Rise of Thorns - Jyra
ANX Red Party:
Top Smurf: Twilight Eyes - Shen

Jungle PvP Stejos: Jarvan IV, Prince of Demacia
Mid Kira: Rune Mage - Ryze
Bottom lane aMiracle: Plague Source - Twitch
Support Likkrit: Fairy Witch-Lulu."

"Lucian is fine. Rookie's individual strength is outstanding, so he should play these lane heroes. My only worry is that our lineup is too early, and there is no team fight or front line at all."

"Look at IG's current positions. Apart from Viktor, there is no hero who can start a team fight, and not even one is a tank. Viktor himself is not suitable for starting a team fight. His ultimate has a wide range and does not have more control..."

Miller expressed his concerns.

IG's lineup in this game is very different from ANX.

One is a very early-stage lineup, and the other is a late-stage lineup.

One relies on online operations, and the other relies on team support operations.

"But no matter what, we still got around ANX in the BP. Now their Ryze was obviously chosen out of necessity. I am optimistic about IG's lineup because this is what they are good at. Well, the game has been loaded, let's enter today's BO1, IG vs. ANX, officially begin!"

“Go IG!”

“IG go go go!!”

In the game, both sides have arrived at Summoner's Rift. They have no intention of fighting a level one group, and they are lined up in a long snake formation.

Looking at the well-behaved Jayce, Wawa said: "Hey, isn't Jayce moving at all in this game? Although Jayce is weak in the early game, his hits hurt people! The damage is still terrifying. Yuanshen is the kind of person who wants to make trouble in the early game, which is a bit confusing."

Miller smiled and said, "There's nothing to be confused about. Jayce is strong in the lane. This Jayce must be fat. This lineup relies heavily on Jayce's early strength and damage, but it will definitely not go to counter jungle at level 1 because the margin for error is too low."

"Then ANX is waiting in vain! They can't even wait for Jace."

During the game, ANX had obviously studied Yuan Shen's style of play, and filled the lower jungle area with vision in the early game. As a result, Jayce had no intention of coming over at all.

Both sides developed and opened up the jungle peacefully, all in the lower jungle area.

After Jayce cleared the red buff and reached level 2, he immediately headed towards the upper jungle area on the opposite side.

"Jace... Hey, Jace is gone, Jace has started!"

Miller and the doll are very funny. They made everyone laugh with their shouts!
In the venue, as the commentator's voice fell, the audience cheered slightly.

Yuan Shen performed very well in the early stages of the previous few games, so everyone couldn't help but have some expectations.

"But that's not right. What is Jayce doing here? Stealing the jungle?" Miller shouted, and then said: "Or is he counter-camping?"

"It depends on the situation. ANX has vision in the upper jungle, so Jayce is likely to be seen when he goes there... and I think in this version, Prince is not afraid of Jayce in the jungle, right?" Wawa said hesitantly.

Miller was silent for a moment and said, "Blind spot of knowledge."

"???"

"I've never seen Jayce play jungle before! Who knows if he can beat Jarvan. I think it depends on personal skills. Jayce got stuck in the bush on the top lane and got into the field of vision. ANX didn't see it!"

In the game, Jayce calmly came to the upper river. In the middle of the river, ANX top laner placed a ward, but Jayce walked into the opponent's jungle at the limit of vision.

"Has this place not been seen?"

"Probably not. The eyes that Smurf planted this time were perfect, but Yuan Shen's awareness is really top-notch. I feel like this person is very sensitive to everything on the map, as if everything is under his control..."

"There are really few junglers who can give me this feeling."

In the game, Jayce has come to the opponent's red buff pit not far away. However, he is not in a hurry to kill the red, but wants to wait here for the prince.

"Is this a counter-camp? Will the prince come over? Hey! He really camped there."

In the game, Prince never expected the opponent's Jayce to be so arrogant, because it was the first time he saw Jayce playing in the jungle. Logically speaking, it would be difficult for the opponent to clear his jungle, so why would he come to ambush him? "

However, PvPStejos is the core of AHX and his awareness is also very good. Even if he didn't have this idea in his mind, he still very keenly added a ward.

When I inserted the eye, I just happened to see a Jayce!
"Hey! Fat!" PvPStejos was startled and subconsciously stepped back.

When Jayce saw that he was discovered, he decisively used a Q skill cannonball to hit the prince, and then started to actively attack.

Seeking a fight!
PvPStejos also immediately chose to counterattack. This is his jungle, what is he afraid of?
At the same time, he quickly called his teammates.

"Hey! The fight has started! PvP Stejos's awareness is so terrifying! Has this Jess been discovered??"

"It's over. In the opposite jungle, what do we say to this Jayce? Can we run away?"

"Master Yuan is not leaving! Jace wants to fight?? Oh my god!"

During the game, Jayce clicked on the Prince a few times, directly triggering the Thunder. At the same time, the Prince also wanted to get close to him and fight back.

In PvP Stejos, he was very cautious. He did not use EQ at the first time because he was afraid that the opponent would dodge it and he would not be able to keep Jayce.

But the next scene completely dumbfounded him.

I saw Jayce clicking on him while retreating, and the distance for his basic attack was very limited.

The prince chased for a few steps, but found that he could not catch up with the Jayce on the opposite side!
The Prince had just finished killing the blue and three wolves, and his condition was not good now. He looked a little injured after being hit by Jayce several times.

Definitely can't delay!
Seeing this, PvPStejos decisively used an EQ!
His position was very tight, and Jayce could hardly avoid the EQ no matter how he moved left or right.

This is also the cleverness of PvPStejos. He doesn't panic when things go wrong, and he can quickly force the opponent into a dead end!
But at this moment, almost a few tenths of a second before the prince's EQ, it hit the prince directly in the face!
The position is not exactly in the center, but slightly to the left.

As soon as the Prince inserted the E flag, his Q was already pointing at the flag and he flew up.

But the next second, Jayce swung his hammer in a circle, and with one blow, he knocked the prince down from the air!
The prince stumbled and fell directly to the ground beside him!
Broken leg!
PvPStejos was shocked.

"Ohhhh!! Jayce!! Jayce actually used a predicted QE this time and directly interrupted the Prince's EQ?!!"

The commentator also exclaimed.

The scene just now was very shocking, because from the perspective of God, the two of them moved forward almost at the same time, and then the next second the prince was hammered down!
Meet up!!
The commentator has no time to think about it now, because the battle on the field has come to an end.

Jayce's passive damage when changing form is increased by the damage of Q and E, as well as the Q in the previous cannon form.

Why is Jayce so strong in the early game? He has many skills!
Moreover, Jayce starts with red buff at level 1, and the red buff sticks to him and does damage, but Prince starts with blue buff.

The prince took almost a whole set of skills from Jayce, but his EQ was empty!
Now he was stuck by the red buff again, and after a while, his health dropped to the bottom. At this time, the two of them had already arrived at the wall of stone men.

PvPStejos looked at the position, gritted his teeth, and unwillingly flashed over the wall, directly out of Jayce's field of vision!
As Wawa finished speaking, there was finally a burst of crazy cheers at the scene!
In such an international competition, just forcing a flash is enough to drive netizens crazy.

Not to mention that just now in PvPStejos and Yuan Shen, it was almost like a fight between gods, but in the end Yuan Shen was the winner!
"Wow, this wave of Prince was amazing, but it's a bit of a pity that he couldn't get the first blood..." Miller said.

Rita asked in confusion: "Why didn't Jace follow the flash just now? If he had followed the flash, he would have had a chance to kill the prince.

"He's probably afraid of the opponent's top and mid. If he flashes over and kills the Prince, he might stay there. Besides, Jayce has no skills left, so he may not be able to kill the Prince."

"Oh... then we got a flash this time, so IG made a small profit, but we don't dare to counter the red buff, which is a bit of a pity. Eh? Isn't Yuan Shen leaving?"

During the game, the prince flashed over the wall to escape.

However, Jayce did not leave immediately, but came to the top of the red buff pit, towards the center of the second tower.

Then he changed his form, waited for less than a second, and the next moment he raised his arm, and the electromagnetic cannon in his hand fired a blue shell, leaving the unused acceleration door directly at his feet!
A QE cannon fired directly at the dark fog of war in front of it!
The location and direction are exactly at the corner of the second tower on the red side!
Look back with confidence.

The next second, a prompt sounded throughout the Summoner's Rift.

“IG-Yuanshen (Guardian of the Future) killed ANX-PvPStejos (Prince of Demacia)!
“First Blood!!!”

first drop of blood!!
