LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 434 Let's have a one-on-one duel! Mid-lane sniping showdown with dog tags!

As the World Championship progressed to the semifinals, everyone's understanding and perception of the version became more consistent.

Everyone agrees that the most correct way to play this version is to be flexible as much as possible during the draft phase, while the overall lineup should be built around charging in!
Don't overthink things during the game, just follow your teammates and charge forward, don't be a coward!
Wang Yao naturally wouldn't tolerate them, and even tricked them with his last move by picking Troll Warlord as a jungler!
Furthermore, after a series of hero swaps, G2 finally realized that the Raven was actually in the top lane!
The final lineups for both sides were finalized.

G2, the blue side, fielded Urgot in the top lane, Olaf in the jungle, Irelia in the mid lane, and Sivir and Alistar in the bot lane.

The red team, EDG, consists of a top laner (Swain), a jungler (Trundle), a mid laner (Aatrox), and a bot lane duo of Xayah and Rakan.

"With this lineup, both sides are using a dive-in composition."

"The fact that both sides are clashing is actually testing the team fight ability of both players, and also seeing who can establish more advantages during the laning phase and whether they can carry those advantages into team fights!"

"However, I'm slightly more optimistic about Wang Yao's lineup. When Olaf uses his ultimate to charge in, he will naturally reduce his own physical and magical resistance."

"If Olaf gets sucked up by the troll's ultimate again, he probably won't be able to withstand it!"

"Moreover, Rakan is slightly stronger than Alistar, mainly because Rakan can use his R-flash to initiate team fights and can also use his E skill to fly out and then find an opportunity to re-enter the fray."

Some of it is nonsense, but some of it is genuine analysis!
As LPL commentators, they naturally have to have a biased perspective. Wang Jide and others practically said that they favored Wang Yao and hoped he would win!
That's not a problem.

In terms of team composition, Wang Yao believes it's a pure 50/50 match, with both sides having a team composition that perfectly suits the current meta.

As both coaches left the players' seats.

Summoner's Rift soon appeared before everyone.

After quickly buying his travel gear, Wang Yao rushed out of the spring as soon as possible.

Originally, Aatrox was indeed intended to be played by Flandre in the top lane, but in the current version, Aatrox in the mid lane is no longer in line with the mainstream.

But before the match, Perkz provoked him and said he wanted to have a real man's battle with him in a 1v1 match, so how could Wang Yao possibly back down?

Since the other side wants to fight, then let's give it a shot.

Wang Yao really enjoyed the feeling of competing against such a top-tier mid laner!
"In this game, I'll focus on the laning phase first and won't pay much attention to your side lanes. Gao Tianliang, you and Tianye should give more commands and look for opportunities."

Wang Yao spoke first.

"Hey, are you getting serious?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile, then said, "Then just focus on the game, and leave the rhythm to me and Tian Ye."

Both mid laners arrived online early.

Since both were melee fighters, there was no possibility of being ambushed, and Perkz arrogantly controlled Irelia to move forward.

Then it started dancing in a bizarre and unnatural way, with a 'dog tag' constantly flashing above its head.

Wang Yao was equally unwilling to back down, responding with a hilarious dance and flashing a dog tag!
"Haha, the mid laners from both sides are interacting so early? Well, that makes sense!"

"When Irelia faces Aatrox, there's no possibility of these two champions farming peacefully. They'll definitely fight to the death. We can also see how good Perkz's laning skills really are."

"Will his Irelia gain the upper hand, or will Kshine continue his strong performance and counter-pick to crush the enemy Perkz?"

The awkward dance between the two sides was stopped when the soldier arrived!

The mid-lane laning phase has officially begun!
The reworks of Aatrox and Irelia were completed a long time ago. Irelia's rework was completed in March, and more than half a year has passed since then.

Aatrox was reworked in July, which took almost four months. Both of these champions are so strong that they have extremely high pick rates in both competitive play and ranked games.

Therefore, players have explored all the skills of these two heroes to the extreme, including their laning phase.

Top players like Wang Yao and Perkz are very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of Irelia and Aatrox.

A level 1 Sword Demon is a complete waste.

Faced with a powerful Irelia, you can only watch helplessly from behind and sniff out the experience points.

This is also the standard way to play Aatrox: let the lane go for the first three levels, and then suddenly launch a counter-attack by pushing back the lane.

With three minor skills at his disposal, the Sword Demon can basically win a fight as long as he can unleash his full combo.

"It matches our expectations perfectly; a level 1 Sword Demon can only stay in the back."

Miller joked, "Even if you're Kshine, you still have to keep an eye on things."

After a few moments of back-and-forth movement, when a low-health melee minion appeared, Irelia took the initiative and tried to use her Q to last-hit the minion.

Irelia is actually very afraid of having her Q interrupted during the laning phase. First, her Q cannot kill minions, and second, she can be interrupted during her Q dash.

The core area of ​​Aatrox's three-stage Q has the ability to interrupt Irelia's Q skill, but it is very dependent on timing.

After all, Aatrox's Q is not instant-cast; after casting, there is a clear slashing motion as he swings his greatsword.

If you use Q in sync with Irelia, Irelia will definitely not be interrupted; it can only be done with a little bit of anticipation.

Sure enough, when Irelia tried to kill a minion with her Q, Aatrox unleashed a Q skill with predictive accuracy.

Q1's small core area was just enough to knock Irelia down from mid-air and interrupt her Q skill!

"Beautiful!" Wang Ji couldn't help but exclaim. "Now the Irelia can't suppress her anymore."

If Irelia's Q ability is interrupted, she won't be able to stack her passive to the maximum, significantly reducing her oppressive power.

The Sword Demon, who had been standing in a rather cowardly position, suddenly stepped forward and used Q2 to kill all the low-health melee minions. Then, while Irelia was last-hitting minions, he used [Death Slash] to harass her.

perkz wasn't annoyed. Instead, he transformed into a show-off once again, displaying Wang Yao's 'dog tag'.

Wang Yao, of course, responded without hesitation by giving him a dog tag!
The two were locked in a fierce battle in the mid lane, but Wang Yao was actually feeling a bit uncomfortable. The Sword Demon's basic attributes were not as good as the Irelia's, not to mention that the Irelia had the longest attack range of 200 yards among melee heroes!
perkz tried to secure level 2 and launch an attack.

However, the impact of Wang Yao interrupting Q at level 1 becomes apparent.

Under normal circumstances, when facing Irelia, Aatrox won't even be able to touch the minion wave at level 1, and Irelia can easily reach level 2 first.

However, in this game, Perkz's Q was interrupted at level 1, which gave Aatrox the ability to push the lane by last-hitting minions at level 1.

Once Irelia's Q skill is off cooldown, she quickly uses Q on minions to stack her passive and reach level 2, then immediately learns her E skill.

Then came a lightning-fast E [Double Blades], which successfully rooted the Aatrox to the spot!
But just as he was about to use Q directly on the Aatrox's face to unleash a combo, the Aatrox used Q1 again.

Wang Yao's timing was always perfect; it was exactly the moment the greatsword swung down that knocked the Irelia down, preventing her from getting close to the Sword Demon.

On the contrary, the Sword Demon also flashed with a golden light above his head and leveled up to level 2!
