Chapter 315-God-level operation, Void Plunderer!
"Welcome to the opening match of the 2017 LPL Spring Season! We are at the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center in Shanghai, the main venue of the 2017 LPL. The home of the RNG team will bring you the opening match of the LPL Spring Season!"
In front of the camera, in the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller, each wearing a bright red suit, looked quite festive. At this moment, their faces were flushed and they spoke very excitedly.
When the audience saw the two people, they immediately cheered.
"IG!! IG!! IG!!"
"RNG!! Come on RNG!! RNG!!"
"The audience here is so enthusiastic! Hello everyone, I'm Wawa!"
"I'm Miller!"
"Wow... I'm honored to be here today for the 2017th season of the LPL in 9. It's been a bumpy road, and I'd like to thank everyone for your company!"
Miller exclaimed: "Nine seasons?"
"It's the fourth year now." Wawa said with a smile.
"Yes, and I just watched our promotional video, which really made my blood boil!" Miller's face was still a little surprised. The promotional video just now was so cool.
"My blood is boiling! This promotional video made me feel for the first time that our LPL is creating something with very meaningful cultural heritage..."
"Internationalization! This year, not far from us is the LPL English commentary booth! It's true that the LPL has become global. You can see it from today's promotional video. The Bird's Nest overlooks the throne room, and it gave me goose bumps!"
"Yes, Yuan Shen is still Yuan Shen. Yuan Shen is now the world's number one in League of Legends. This promotional video has a profound meaning. Under the throne, we are all ants... But no matter how small we are, we are number one now! We also firmly believe that one day in LPL, someone will really sit on that throne!"
"League of Legends has yet to see the legendary triple crown legend, and now IG is the team closest to that trophy."
"Okay, before we watch the game, we would like to thank our sponsor Mercedes-Benz for its strong support. In addition, there are also Guliduo and Zhanma..."
The doll started speaking, and the next whole minute was just speaking...
Miller next to him couldn't help but twitch his mouth. After S6, LPL's sponsors reached its peak in history. Not only were there countless sponsors for the major teams, but the official also made a lot of money.
And all this is because IG won the world championship for two consecutive years.
After a full minute, the baby was exhausted and said, "Oh, it's finally over..."
"Yes, there are more sponsors. A new season brings a new atmosphere! This proves that our LPL is getting better and better. As far as I know, Yuan Shen, whom we just mentioned, has also endorsed many things..."
Wawa nodded and said, "Yes, Yuan Shen has a very good image. When I first met him, I suspected that the official had invited that star to do publicity..."
"He is really handsome, and Yuan Shen's performance in the All-Star Game and the German Cup shows that he is in very good shape!"
"That's right, and in the S7 season, IG also changed its personnel, but the core top, mid and jungle players remained unchanged. It still feels like the No. team in LPL!" Wawa brought the subject back.
"In fact, as long as Yuan Shen is here, nothing will be wrong..."
As soon as Miller finished speaking, the IG fans at the scene went crazy.
"Today, IG's starting ADC is Sima Laozei, and everyone is very familiar with this player. However, the support player is Magen, and everyone may still be a little unfamiliar with him. So... let's hear what IG thinks about the new lineup!"
The camera turned, and Yuan Shen and Bao Lan appeared on the big screen.
This was the first time Baolan appeared in the pre-match trash talk session. He was obviously very nervous during the recording and kept leaning towards Yuan Shen.
"As for the new lineup, I don't think it's a big problem. IG's strength does not come from a single individual, but from a complete tactical system and coaching team. I believe that anyone who stays in this environment for a long time will be able to make great progress. In fact, we have a lot of strong players in LPL, but they just lack an opportunity. There's a saying that goes, 'There are many good horses, but few good horse trainers.' IG is that good horse trainer." Yuan Shen smiled very calmly.
Baolan nodded beside him and said very honestly: "That's right... My teammates are very strong. I think as long as I don't make any mistakes in the game, I have done what I should do, and the rest is just a matter of lying down..."
Baolan's answer caused another round of laughter.
At this time, the director asked Yuan Shen what he thought of today's much-anticipated opening match.
"It's the same for today's opening match. All we have to do is not make mistakes and play normally, and we can achieve the expected results!"
Yuan Shen finished speaking very confidently, and thunderous applause suddenly broke out at the scene.
Don’t make mistakes, play normally, and you can win!
If it were in the past, someone might have criticized Yuan Shen for being arrogant, but now, no one would think so!
Double champion, number one in the world!
If he doesn't feel proud, who else has the right to feel proud?
Then, Xiaohu from RNG also appeared on the big screen and said with a smile:
"The opening match... For us, there is still some pressure, after all, IG has won the world championship for two consecutive years. However, we have played training matches privately, and we are confident that we can win today's game. I think Xiang Guo will also prove himself!"
"Whoa whoa!!"
“IG!IG!!”
“RNG go go go!!”
After the trash talk, the fans on both sides of the scene were already aroused, and the commentators also became excited.
“Both sides are very confident!”
"That's right. IG and RNG are currently considered to be one of the top teams in the LPL, or more precisely, in the world. Although there have been personnel changes, they are still very competitive in the LPL. Today's opening match also represents the highest level of our PL region. There are also many people abroad who are paying attention to it!"
"Yes, and I found Xiaohu to be very funny. What does that last sentence mean? He is just trying to stir up trouble!"
Thinking of what Xiaohu said just now, "Xiang Guo will prove himself", everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The spicy hotpot on the stage turned green in the face, but didn't say anything.
He has a very good relationship with Yuan Shen, but he also has a strong desire to win and self-confidence!
"But to be honest, Xiang Guo's style is very similar to Yuan Shen's. Both of them are top junglers. I am looking forward to what kind of sparks they will create in this game!"
At this moment, the player in front was ready, and the screen changed and immediately came to the BP interface!
In this game, IG is on the red side and RNG is on the blue side.
As soon as the game started, RNG banned Jayce and Spider, and finally added Ekko.
IG banned Corki, Poppy and Maokai.
The people on both sides were quite satisfactory.
RNG focused more on Yuan Shen and blocked TheShy's hero pool so that Letme would not be under so much pressure.
"RNG banned both Spider and Ekko... this?!" Wawa said: "Xiang Guo is also good at these two heroes!"
"We have to give him some respect, after all, he is the champion FMVP, and Yuan Shen is too strong! This guy's Ekko is weird, he can play it in the S5 World Championship, and he can still play it in this All-Star Game. Really, if it were me, I wouldn't let him go either, it's too scary!" Miller said.
"Yes, it depends on what the two sides pick. RNG didn't use Uzi, but Able, a talented AD player who is as famous as EDG's Iboy. Both of them were famous before their debut. RNG should pay some attention to him. I wonder if they will pick him as the first AD player?"
"I think he might pick Lee Sin. After all, Xiang Guo's Lee Sin is well-known. In this version, Lee Sin is still very strong. He himself may also want to compete with Yuan Shen again!"
"And if you don't grab it, IG will definitely grab it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw RNG grab the blind monk first!
"Ouch! As expected!"
There was screaming at the scene.
"Xiang Guo is about to start! He didn't make it to the All-Star Game before, otherwise..."
Miller suddenly laughed, and those in the audience who understood also smiled. Nine blind monks and one ball, Xiangguo is also an old football player.
In IG’s first two picks, they directly took down EZ and Tam.
In this version, the bottom lane has a high priority, so there is no problem in grabbing it first.
The two sides exchanged ideas and quickly completed the BP.
Finally, the two teams' lineups were determined as follows:
IG red side: top lane Gnar, jungle Mantis, mid lane Clockwork, bottom lane EZ + Tam.
RNG blue side: top lane Sion, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Ryze, bottom lane Vayne and Braum!
The lineup is selected and the game is loaded.
"The lineups of both sides feel surprisingly consistent! They are both the kind of lineups that can be used both in the front and back! They are also very consistent with the version! It seems that both teams have done a lot of preparation before the game!"
"That's right! I didn't expect that the bottom laner Zou A got VN right after he came on the field. It seems that Zou A himself is also paying tribute to Uzi."
"Yes, both sides are almost all mid-to-late-stage teamfight lineups. The only fierce clash is between the junglers in the early stage. Lee Sin and Mantis feel like the protagonists of this game."
As soon as the words fell, the scene exploded instantly!
Fans of both IG and RNG teams were shouting wildly at this moment!
“IG! Come on IG!”
"Little IG, go, go! Yuan Shen, kill, kill, kill!!"
"RNG! RNG!!"
The scene was extremely shocking, and everyone couldn't wait for this battle of the century!
At the same time, on the field, both IG and RNG walked out of the fountain, and their going online was normal, with no intention of fighting a level one team fight.
Miller said: "IG and RNG's lineups in this game are very close to the version. Both of them are heroes that can only be used in the mid-to-late game, and the top laners are all front-line heroes who start team fights. This situation is very important for the jungler.
Because there won’t be too many battles in the early stages of the three lanes, the jungler’s rhythm will be the key to winning the game! Whichever side finds the rhythm first will take the initiative and win the game.”
At the beginning of the game, both sides lined up in a long snake formation, with Mantis starting in the top lane as a red buff, and Lee Sin also starting in the upper jungle area.
"Both junglers are starting in the upper jungle area...do they have any ideas about the bottom lane?"
Wawa saw the harmonious junglers on both sides, especially the two bright IDs "Yuanshen" and "MLXG", and felt a strong sense of disobedience...
These two people don't seem to be harmonious at all.
After killing the red buff, Mantis cleared F6 and then walked towards his own lower jungle area.
"This doesn't seem to fit the style of the junglers on both sides. This game is all about the jungler's rhythm. Yuanshen and MLXG, I don't think I need to say much, these two IDs represent everything. They are both ruthless people who will not let go of someone once they have bitten their teeth."
"There's definitely going to be trouble, but it's too early now, both sides should look for another opportunity. Mantis still needs to be farmed in the early stage, to be honest, Lee Sin is a bit of a counter to Mantis!" Miller had just finished speaking when he saw movement on the field!
And the one who moved was not Yuan Shen as everyone imagined, but Xiang Guo!
Lee Sin had an extremely sharp sense of smell and went straight to IG’s lower jungle area!
"Ouch! Xiang Guo moved first! Lee Sin is the overlord of the jungle in the early stage, and is a natural counter to Mantis. If he invades, it will be difficult for Yuan Shen to play!" Miller shouted.
"But does Lee Sin know where Kha'Zix is? RNG has no wards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Sin had already arrived at the river in the lower jungle area. His goal was to invade IG's lower jungle area without any disguise!
At this moment, the mantis was still beating the toad and didn't realize it at all!
Seeing this scene, the RNG fans in the venue immediately cheered.
Miller was a little surprised: "Xiang Guo's awareness is so sharp this time! Is he really going to invade? So confident! Is Yuanshen aware of this wave? If not... In this state, Mantis was blocked in the jungle by Lee Sin in the early stage, and basically he was dead!"
in the game.
Mantis was beating Toad, and his health was still half, so his medicine bottle was useless. Moreover, Mantis had no chance to fight Lee Sin in the jungle in the early stage.
More importantly, Mantis didn’t realize it this time!
At this moment, Toad was only hit to half of his health, and Lee Sin had already walked to the blue buff pit! Mantis was still calmly beating his own Toad.
"It's over! Yuan Shen didn't realize this... Then, ouch! Xiang Guo was too decisive! Did he use Q directly? This??!"
During the game, before the commentator finished speaking, he saw the man walking to the blue buff pit and seeing the intact blue buff on the opposite side. Xiang Guo immediately guessed the current position of the Mantis and immediately threw a Q skill with blind vision to the Toad!
The next moment, the second stage of Q lit up - hit!
"Hey, Yuan Shen! I've studied you for a long time. I single-killed the champion and FMVP. The kill is mine!" Upon seeing this, Xiang Guo shouted in the team voice and pressed the second stage Q without hesitation!
If you are hit by the second stage of Q, you can fight!
Xiang Guo’s playing style has always been stream of consciousness, with his hands moving faster than his brain.
"This... I got hit by the second stage of Q, it's gone!"
The outside commentators were also amazed. Xiangguo's performance and god-level awareness were beyond everyone's expectations.
Inside the field, Mantis was obviously stunned for a moment, but unfortunately, it was difficult to dodge the skill that blinded his vision without him realizing it. Now that he had been hit, Yuan Shen could only keep moving towards the Toad Grass below.
However, Lee Sin quickly caught up with him, using the second stage of his Q to cause burst damage and a close-range basic attack. With the blessing of the storm, Lee Sin became very powerful!
In order to prevent Mantis from escaping, Lee Sin even clicked W at level 2!
In the current situation, even if Mantis flashes, he can’t escape!
In the early stage, Lee Sin was much stronger than Mantis, and Mantis’s health was not full to begin with. Now, after one set of attacks, Yuan Shen only had half of his health left!
However, he did not panic, but continued to approach the bush. At the same time, he turned around and attacked Lee Sin, triggering his passive invisible threat, which caused additional damage with a basic attack while slowing down the opponent.
Then use the Q skill to trigger the passive skill of being isolated and helpless.
Although the damage is not as high as Lee Sin, it also reduces the opponent's health a bit!
"Mantis still wants to run?! I feel like he doesn't have much chance this time. It might be okay with other heroes, but Lee Sin is too agile, and Mantis is too fragile! He's almost out of health!"
"Xiang Guo, he was on a hunger strike at the beginning of the game, not killing the jungle, only killing people!"
Seeing that Mantis was almost at the end of his life, the RNG fans at the scene went crazy!
No one expected that Yuanshen might die at the hands of Mala Xiangguo at the very beginning. It seems that Xiangguo is still in good shape!
At this moment, the battle in the jungle seemed to have come to an end. Mantis was stuck all the way and only had one-fifth of his health left. Although he relied on the slowdown of Q to distance himself from Lee Sin, the opponent also lost half of his health.
Unfortunately, compared with his losses, it was nothing and had almost no effect!
"The bottom lane is also fighting now, and we can't provide support, so... huh?!"
Before he could finish his words, at this moment, he saw the mantis finally crawl into the grass under the toad he had been thinking about!
The next second, he didn't run away, but came out again!
Since his basic attack range is slightly higher than Lee Sin, he attacks out!
The blind monk's health line dropped instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Mantis's passive invisible threat will be refreshed as long as the opponent loses his vision!
The extra damage from the basic attack bursts out again. At the same time, the Q skill is ready and immediately Qs on the blind monk!
"Ouch, you dare to come back, resist? Struggle?" Xiang Guo stared with his eyes wide open. His health was much higher than that of the mantis, so he was not afraid of this little damage from the mantis at all! He just continued to rush forward.
But he has been slowed down at this moment. Mantis burrows into the bushes again, then turns back in an instant, blocking the vision of the bushes, instantly refreshing his passive ability again, and attacks again!
Trigger passive damage again!
The blind monk's health was reduced again, and Xiang Guo suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't need to use the displacement skills at this time, because he had already reached the bush. This time, Mantis did not run away, and he had no time to escape!
Lee Sin can already attack the opponent with a basic attack and then kick him out immediately!
But at this moment, it was seen that Mantis's positioning was extremely accurate, and the moment Lee Sin raised his foot, there was no vision!
The next second, the low-health Mantis came out again, stood face to face with the Lee Sin, and attacked!
The third time to refresh the passive, the third basic attack!
"Ouch! Master Yuan! What the hell is going on? He still wants to fight! He refreshed his passive skill three times while blocking his vision? This..."
"It's a great show, but he still has to die!! The two of them are already face to face! Mantis' health is too low!"
"Yes! And... Eh! Oh my god! What is this for?!"
The commentator stared in amazement at the Mantis who dared to fight back even with very little health left. Just as he was about to speak, the next scene turned everyone petrified!
