Chapter 290-Spoon-shaped jungler, weapon master!
"ROX chose the red side in the first game! IG's BP pressure is a bit high. Now the core points of both sides are very clear. ROX is more inclined to top, mid and jungle. The two Xuanming Elders in the bottom lane usually choose a defensive combination to resist pressure, while IG..."

"IG can play everything, and Jack and Xiao Ming are also very offensive."

"A head-on confrontation, a peak battle!!"

"My blood is boiling."

In the commentary booth, Miller remembered that Wawa had an excited expression.

"IG banned Syndra, and ROX banned Lucian. These are all regular bans, but there are too many OP heroes in this version, so it's a bit difficult to ban them!"

"Yes, the Dragon King and Miss Fortune tactics used by ROX in the quarterfinals were also very strong. However, Rookie was the first person in the world to develop the Dragon King hero, so it is impossible that he cannot play it. It all depends on what IG chooses today."

"We also need to target the climbing duo ROX. The BP of ROX is not as easy as we thought."

In IG's second and third moves, they killed Jayce and Elise one after another.

ROX banned Lee Sin and...

"Nezha?? ROX banned the Nidalee that Yuanshen never picked!"

"It should be to prevent IG's top and jungle from wavering. It seems that Smeb is still worried about Yuan Shen's departure!"

"That's right. When TheShy went to the jungle, he only played Nidalee. ROX probably thought that as long as they banned Nidalee, IG's top and jungle would not be able to swing."

After Miller finished speaking, IG took the first move and directly locked down the Dragon King.

"Dragon King! Rookie's signature hero!"

"IG is the first team to use the Dragon King system!! Rookie's proficiency in this hero cannot be low."

In the IG player seat, Yuan Shen put his hand into the hot pack after choosing the hero.

The temperature in New York has dropped a lot in late October.

It is very important to keep the feel.

"Smeb still doesn't believe me. What does it mean by banning Nidalee? Are you afraid that I will go to the top lane?"

"It doesn't matter. If he has the ability, just keep banning him."

Fumanduo is so cheerful that he looks like Maitreya Buddha.

"Banning the jungler is a loss for them. No matter how they are banned, we still have something to play with. If we grab the Dragon King first, we won't be afraid even if the opponent uses the policewoman. Tristana can push towers just as fast."

As soon as Miller finished speaking, ROX locked in the combination of Olaf and Karma.

"Ah? Olaf and Karma, ROX is going to force a strong mid and jungle position! This system was often used by IG last year." Wawa frowned.

"It's hard to say. It could also be that Karma is the support. ROX is also starting to waver."

After Miller finished speaking, IG directly locked onto the policewoman and Rambo with their second and third moves.

"There should be no objection to the top laner Rambo. The Dragon King and the Policewoman system is also very strong. In the early stage, the Dragon King can be matched with a strong jungler whether it is invading or roaming."

At this time, ROX's last two options were also chosen.

Kennen, and Ice.

These two choices did not surprise the LPL commentators.

Pray's Ashe has always been his signature hero, with a high selection rate and win rate in the LCK league.

It’s just that they originally had a big move of Ashe, but because IG used it in the Summer Finals, Riot weakened the support ability of Ashe before the World Championship, so it is not considered a trump card now.

"Smeb's Kennen and TheShy's Rumble are both signature heroes! All ten players on the field today are top players in their respective positions. If this had happened in the past, it would have been as valuable as the finals!"

"Yes, it reminds me of the Samsung Blue and White battle in S4. It was really a fight between gods. It seems that the audience will have a feast for their eyes today!"

In the IG player seat, Yuan Shen frowned, looking at the lineups of both sides, wondering what he was thinking.

Fumanduo touched his chin and said, "Sindra and Jayce, who can restrict Kennen's entry into the field, have all been banned. Smeb's Kennen is not easy to restrict."

"We could have used the prince to restrict Olaf, but now..."

"It seems that the troll can..."

Xiao Ming suddenly said.

Everyone at IG was stunned when they heard this.

"Troll jungle?"

Troll junglers are not common in the LPL league. Even if they appear, they are only used to counter top tank heroes.

None of the four skills have AOE damage, and the speed of clearing the jungle is worrying.

Before Tiamat was created, the jungle clearing speed was not even ranked first in the entire League, let alone facing heroes like Olaf.

In this World Championship, top laners are more likely to choose team-fight heroes such as Rumble and Kennen, and the appearance rate of Troll has also decreased a lot. At most, it is only used to restrain Poppy top laner.

"Originally, I could have chosen to release Graves. With the protection of the Dragon King, I wouldn't have to worry about the early game rhythm being restricted. But this top and jungle combination of Olaf and Kennen... is very difficult to deal with!"

Miller drummed his fingers on the table.

On the court, IG only had five seconds left to choose a hero.

This was the first time he saw IG being so hesitant in choosing a hero.

Just when the time was almost up, IG finally decided on the hero.

Zyra, and...

Weapon Master, Jax!

"Jax?!"

"Zyra can limit Kennen's entry, and Master Yi... is Master Yi the top laner or the jungler?? Rumble the jungler? I'm confused by IG's swaying!"

"It's just... can Weapon play in the jungle? This hero's jungle clearing speed is not fast!"

"Smeb should be feeling a headache now, haha! When IG faced KOO last year, Yuan Shen's Jax directly beat Smeb's most confident Fiora. This year, she was picked again in the first game!"

IG's final choice was so shocking that not many people paid attention to ROX's final move of picking up Ryze and moving Karma to the support position.

The lineups of both sides were determined, and after some exchanges, the complete lineups were presented to the audience.

IG Blue Side VS Red Side ROX
Top laner TheShy: Rumble VS Kennen: Smeb
Jungle Yuanshen: Weapon VS Olaf: Peaunt
Mid-lane Rookie: Dragon King VS Ryze: Kuro
Bottom lane JackeyLove: Policewoman VS Ashe: Pray
Support Ming: Zyra VS Minotaur: Gorilla. "

"IG's classic lineup is here! It's a perfect offensive combination, a perfect offensive system with no room for error!!"

"ROX is also fighting hard. The top, mid and jungle combination all look fierce. Although Ryze's ability to push the lane is not as good as that of Dragon King, his roaming support ability after level 6 will not be much worse. The key to this game depends on whether Rookie can do something before level 6!"

"I only have one question now, can Weapon be used in the wild?"

The doll was in a state of confusion.

There is no need to say much about Yuan Shen's proficiency in Jax.

This hero doesn't actually have too many skills to speak of, it's nothing more than the connection between skills and normal attacks, the sequence of combos and other clichés.

If the passive heavy hammer of the ultimate skill is used properly, it can greatly improve the burst and output capabilities of the weapon.

"The Weapon's ability to set the pace in the early game will definitely be much weaker. This hero is still positioned as a late-game hero. However, with the Dragon King in the early game, the jungle development is also possible. IG chose to show their ultimate in the semi-finals!"

The game was loaded, and there was a burst of crazy cheers at the scene.

"I still say that, believe in IG. Yuan Shen has given us so many surprises along the way, Ezreal jungle, Jayce jungle, this one won't be a big deal."

During the game, both sides have already started to take their positions.

In the first game, both sides were very cautious and had no plans for a level one fight.

Yuan Shen followed his teammates to protect the vision, and then walked towards his own upper jungle area.

"I'm going to start with blue, you guys be careful... eh?"

Before Yuan Shen could finish his words, he saw Olaf and Kennen approaching the entrance of his own jungle area.

This position was originally defended by Rookie, but Rookie first followed them to the lower area to protect the vision, and then went up, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.

"Eh?? Did Yuan Shen realize it? I saw it! This wave didn't pass, ROX wanted to make trouble at level 1! With Olaf's strong level 1 invasion, ROX played very fiercely."

Outside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jax stop.

"Yuan Shen still has some awareness. ROX played very smartly in this wave. Jax's early-game ability is incomparable to Olaf. As long as Jax is pinned down, ROX's early-game rhythm will be completely controlled by Peaunt. If this continues, it is likely that they will not be able to regain the rhythm of the entire game."

"That's right. Peaunt's playing style is very similar to Yuan Shen's. Both of them prefer to invade and attack actively. It depends on who can seize the rhythm. Once the rhythm is controlled by the other party, they will be very passive."

"I realized that IG was already approaching. If ROX didn't notice this, something bad would happen!!"

During the game, the moment they saw the top and jungle players of ROX, the rest of the IG players started to take action.

Jack's policewoman was directly exposed in ROX's field of vision and began to dance to show her mark. At this position, it was impossible to be hit unless Minotaur had three flashes.

Xiao Ming's Jella and Rookie have already surrounded the upper half of the zone!

"Jack is acting, TheShy's Rambo is already in position, does ROX realize it?"

"I haven't left yet. This wave of opportunity... Eh? Ah!! Rox realized it!! In that case..."

"It's okay. It's not a big loss. In this position, Olaf can only start with red buff. It's also a good thing if he can determine the opponent's jungle route."

Miller comforted his partner.

During the game, IG's encirclement was about to be formed, but Smeb seemed to have noticed something and left the upper jungle area without looking back.

"No! Olaf hasn't left yet, only Kennen has left, and he deliberately exposed himself to IG's vision. This way, IG will probably think that Olaf is returning to the city from the same location. By the time the weapon comes over, the blue buff and the Gromp will probably be gone. Is Peaunt going to invade alone?? How brave!!"

"Olaf with sprint, he was going to solo the blue buff and steal the jungle, but he didn't expect Yuan Shen to also go to the upper half of the zone, and happened to see his position, so what happened..."

"There's a chance!"

Outside the venue, the audience held their breath when they saw this scene.

The blue buff was about to refresh, but the IG players tacitly did not show up. They just slowly approached the blue buff camp, just like a spider weaving a web, slowly covering the target prey.

The target of this game is Peanut's Olaf!

three……

two……

one……

The blue buff refreshed and Olaf's axe flew out of his hand.

But before Peanut could run over to pick up the axe, four strong men appeared around the Blue Buff camp almost at the same time! !
Weapons, Rambo, Dragon King, Zyra!
"Siba!!"

The little peanuts were all dumbfounded.

Kuro's message came almost at the same time.

"The Dragon King is not in the middle!"

"too late!!"

Peanut immediately started sprinting and rushed towards the axe without looking back.

As long as he could pick up the axe and backhand slow down the weapon and Zyra, he still had a chance to escape. But before he could get into position, Rambo's E skill [Electric Harpoon] had already flown out.

Hit, slow down!
When Zyra used her E skill, Olaf's movement speed dropped sharply and he had no room to move at all.

Jella's E skill [Entangled Roots] only has a binding effect of 0.75 seconds at level one, but it is enough.

With the help of Yuan Shen's counterattack storm, Olaf was almost instantly reduced to low health after being surrounded by four people.

"Give up your head!"

Xiao Ming shouted loudly that the most important point of this game was Yuan Shen’s weapon.

As long as Yuan Shen can develop, they will win no matter how they play.

On the contrary, once the jungle area is restricted, they will be restricted.

Peanut's level one invasion was an unexpected surprise.

If Weapon can get the first blood, then the jungle development time will be much faster.

"IG-Yuanshen (Weapon Master) killed ROX-Peaunt (Berserker)!!!"

"First Blood!!"

first drop of blood!

The first blood broke out in this situation, and the audience couldn't help but cheer.

"Eh? I just realized that Master Yuan didn't choose the starting equipment of the jungle knife and reusable potion, but chose the healing orb. What does this mean?"

"As for the healing orb... maybe it needs to be synthesized into Tiamat? After all, the weapon's jungle clearing speed is slow, and it is still very dependent on the AOE bonus provided by Tiamat. If it is combined with the passive ruthless combo, it can also trigger the AOE effect multiple times." Miller thought for a moment and gave his answer.

The equipment Tiamat was changed in version 6.6. The synthesis method was changed from pickaxe + healing orb + 175 gold coins to longsword + longsword + healing orb + 350 gold coins.

The total price has not changed, but it is smoother.

The economic benefits from six groups of wild monsters and river crabs, plus the healing orbs purchased, are enough for the jungler to get the Tiamat equipment in four minutes, not to mention the extra economic blessing of the first blood in this game.

"The weapon's jungle clearing speed is not slow. Yuan Shen has been very detailed in maintaining the number of passive layers. The weapon's passive can provide a considerable attack speed bonus. In this way..."

"It seems like using Weapon to play jungle really works? With Counter-Strike, it won't be too hard to kill F6 and other wild monsters. With Tiamat, the jungle will be cleared even faster!" Wawa also figured out some tricks.

The passive ability of the weapon has now been changed to decay layer by layer instead of being cleared all at once.

With the help of the wild monster pulling technique and the displacement effect of the Q skill jump slash, a skilled player can clear six groups of wild monsters while maintaining the full passive attack speed effect.

At 3 minutes and 48 seconds, Weapon had killed six groups of wild monsters and arrived at the river.

And this time is not too far behind.

Although it is not as good as EZ's 3 minutes and 32 seconds, it is not inferior to mainstream junglers such as Lee Sin and Graves.

Even faster!

After all, EZ's full passive can provide 50% attack speed, and the weapon's passive skill can provide 3.5% attack speed per layer, with a maximum of eight layers, and a 27% attack speed after being fully stacked.

"After clearing the river crabs, I went straight back to the city. Is Tiamat going to appear? Four minutes of Tiamat... this speed?!"

Miller swallowed. Any player who had a little understanding of League of Legends knew what it meant to create Tiamat during this period of time.

The laning in all three lanes was unusually smooth. Jack's policewoman in the bottom lane was full of momentum. After protecting her eyes, she was not worried about being caught by Olaf's gank.

Five minutes later, Olaf ganked and forced TheShy to flash. At this time, Yuan Shen had already finished the second round of wild monsters and rushed straight towards Olaf's lower jungle area.

"Counterattack a group of three wolves and a frog. TheShy didn't lose too much by not getting caught and killed. Olaf's sprint is about to be ready..."

Wawa was explaining the situation on the field, but at this moment, the Master Yi, who had finished killing the Frog, rushed directly to the bottom lane.

"Want to gank the bottom lane? There's a chance this time, Pray is in danger... huh? So decisive, there's basically no chance once this flash is used, it's still very difficult to target ROX's bottom lane!"

"In that case, the weapon can only be returned to the city..."

The doll felt a little regretful.

To be honest, he didn't expect that only one person had been killed so far.

However, the mid and top players of both sides will soon reach level 6, and the first wave of rhythm points will be coming soon.

The current calm is just a precursor to the coming storm.

"How come he swipes so fast?"

In the ROX player seat, Peaunt was stunned when he saw the number of Yuan Shen's last hits displayed on the Tab panel.

In six minutes, the weapon had been worth 52 dollars.

On the other hand, he now only has 36 dollars.

Although giving away first blood at level 1 has a huge impact, the speed at which Weapon clears the jungle has obviously surpassed most jungle heroes.

Even for a hero like Nidalee who is known for her jungle clearing speed, it is difficult to clear such a number of jungle enemies and still be able to gank at this point in time.

"Eh? What are you doing? The Demonic Swamp Frog... huh??"

The doll suddenly widened its eyes.

"So punctual?"

In the game, after returning to the city to replenish the weapons of Radiance and Red Crystal, he came to the position of the Frog. However, from a God's perspective, the Frog camp was clearly empty.

But just when Wawa thought that the weapon was a waste of time, less than two seconds later, the Demonic Swamp Frog jumped out as if it had been summoned.

"This is the efficiency of jungle clearing."

Miller swallowed.

The blue buff refreshes every five minutes. After the magic frog is refreshed, the blue buff will also be refreshed.

Blue Buff——Three Wolves——F6——Red...

The jungle route of the weapon is unremarkable, but every time Jax walks next to the jungle monster camp, the jungle monster just refreshes.

This scene left the audience stunned.

"The Summoner from the East!!"

"Are we playing the same game? I'm not surprised that he can calculate the monster refresh time, but why can he match his own jungle refresh time with the monster refresh time?"

"Olaf is so far behind the Weapon in jungle farming, it's outrageous!"

"Peaunt was forced to become a hungry jungler who controls the dragon. Yuan Shen, you really did all the bad things!!"

On the field, Peaunt, whose lower jungle had been completely cleared, had no choice but to take control of the first wind dragon.

And just as he returned to the city to refresh the red buff in the upper jungle area, the audience burst into cheers again.

Jax was seen clearing all the way to the lower jungle area of ​​Peaunt, and the newly refreshed blue buff, three wolves, and the frog were taken into his pocket again.

In just nine minutes, Weapon was already 48 hits ahead of Olaf!

Twelve groups of wild monsters!!

"Yuan Shen was spotted by the vision, but it's useless! Olaf is still in the top lane, the bottom lane has been suppressed, and the middle lane Dragon King also has the line rights. My God, the weapon is going to be invincible at this level!"

Although the game had only been going on for nine minutes, viewers who had a little understanding of the game could already see some clues.

In the jungle game, Weapon has completely defeated Olaf!

"Peanut stole a little dragon, and TheShy in the top lane was very steady and didn't give Olaf a chance to gank... Ah?! The ultimate cleared the line, so in this case, Olaf can only control the vanguard. Should he invade?" Miller had a strange look on his face, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

In the game, Olaf rushed into the upper jungle area of ​​the weapon and took a look around, but the empty jungle made Peaunt feel like he had encountered a ghost.

"Riparian... did IG choose to give it up? Weapon is still farming in the jungle, this..."

The doll has become numb.

IG's rhythm in the early stage was unusually stable.

Except for the linkage in the first wave of invasion, all three lines were developing at other times.

When the weapon reaches the lower jungle area of ​​the red team in the third round, the junglers of both teams will meet.

but……

"A level 8 weapon against a level 5 Olaf... this?!"

"Ryze is driving over to support us. Ashe and Minotaur are also coming. Aether King is here too. Should we fight?"

"Zyra has an ultimate, this wave... ah?? ROX retreated, it was wise not to fight this wave, Olaf's level and development are too poor, and the level and last hits of the Weapon at this point in time are even more terrifying than those in the line, it's outrageous!!"

The doll was a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again.

"In that case, the frog and the three wolves were eaten by the weapons again. Olaf wasted too much time!!"

"Master Yuan's research on the jungle position is really profound..."

Miller's sigh expressed the thoughts of countless players.

Considering the refresh time of wild monsters, it’s nothing.

Most professional players can do it.

Except Eimy.

It is actually not difficult to match your jungle clearing schedule with the refresh of wild monsters.

During the summer season, the Vietnamese jungler Sofm introduced by the Snake team once demonstrated near-perfect development ability with his excavator.

However, being able to stably control the opponent's wild area and at the same time grasp the refresh time of one's own wild monsters, and even be in place within three seconds before the wild monsters refresh, is no longer something that can be done by human power.

This is truly about controlling yourself and your enemies.

"Thirteen-minute weapon master of three-phase Tiamat sandals..."

Miller didn't know what to say.

At thirteen minutes, Weapon's number of last hits was 132.

One second, one knife.

More than any online hero!

You know, the second player with the most last hits on the field now is Rookie's Dragon King, but he only has 112 last hits.

This is an effect that can only be achieved by the Dragon King using his E skill to go online without any damage.

"The jungle matchup is where the gap is most likely to occur. Although Olaf controlled the Rift Herald and two little dragons, and killed TheShy once, now..."

"Jax is going to make a move."

Wawa took a deep breath and felt hopeful as he looked at Jax walking towards the top lane.

After nearly fifteen minutes of development, the big devil Jax has emerged!

　Happy Tanabata, brothers!
