Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Chapter 134 An unstoppable killer move!
"EDG should target the mid lane."

"Come and help me."

Faker switched the screen to observe the situation and keenly understood what Ye Tian was going to do next.

After Maokai was brought under the tower and lost the first blood, due to the huge gap between his damage and that of Shen, he no longer dared to use W to W to break through Shen's consumption, and had almost no ability to fight back in front of Shen.

Even so, Shen still did not take the initiative to cause trouble for the tree. There must be something more important in his eyes.

The probability of going to the bottom lane to gank someone, replicating the move to the bottom lane, and teleporting back to the top lane is very low.

After all, SKT's bottom lane is Caitlyn's Tam, and Shen can only catch the support after a hard trip, which is not cost-effective at all.

The probability of catching a jungler is not high either.

Peanut's opening method of grabbing blue and double river crabs made the subsequent jungle route unpredictable. Moreover, SKT was on the red side, and the upper half of the jungle was composed of two camps, Krug and F6, which were very close to the defense tower. The location of the F6 camp could be returned to the tower by using a flash, and combined with Spider's E, it was equivalent to the evasive ability of an enhanced version of the Golden Body. Even Shen was not so easy to catch and kill.

As long as Shen has a correct brain, he will definitely stare at the Corki that has just used flash.

"it is good!"

“I’ll go more towards the middle.”

Peanut and Wolf responded immediately.

One used the green jungle knife and true eyes to cover the entire vision at the intersection of the upper jungle area to prevent Faker from being attacked by Shen, and the other helped Caitlyn push the line and then moved to the middle lane to provide maximum protection for Faker.

Not only that.

Faker no longer focused on suppressing Galio, and instead adopted a semi-roaming style in which he used a set of skills to clear all the minions before turning around and going to the bottom.

"Although Faker rarely uses Corki, whenever he gets one, he performs very well."

Miller prepared data in advance: "In the 7.12 version, Corki was just strengthened, and Faker used Corki to complete a comeback against KT Rolster after a - deficit. In the playoffs, he even used Corki to complete a comeback against KT Rolster after a - deficit. In those games, Faker almost always controlled the push in the middle lane, especially after getting the explosive pack, and the area of ​​the map he covered was not much inferior to that of Galio."

"Indeed." Speaking of this, Wawa couldn't help but feel a little worried.

KT's mid laner is EDG's former pillar, General Pawn.

In S6, the performance of the younger brother Scout was not much worse than the first three games of S7. The reason why the factory manager was able to maintain his fourth quarterfinals was all thanks to General Pawn who played despite being injured and helped the EDG team defeat the Red Pegasus AHQ in the life-and-death game.

From then on, there was a famous meme that went around: "The useless Mingkai hugged General Pawn so hard that his waist was broken."

In an interview after Pawn left the team, the factory manager said: I don't think Pawn's departure will have a qualitative impact on us. It was obviously a polite remark to take care of Scout's feelings, because before that sentence, there was also - our mid laner Scout is also performing very well. He is getting stronger and stronger, and his performance is also very good, which serves as a prelude.

We can't just say we have to rebuild without Pawn.

In fact.

Whether it is EDG members, fans, or commentators, they all feel that Scout is obviously inferior to Pawn.

Pawn was helpless against by Faker's Corki, can Scout do the same?

8 minutes 22 seconds.

Scout took out the Banner of Command that only cost 2200 gold coins, wanting to restrict Faker like he did in the first game.

But Faker has the experience to deal with it, and no longer stands under the tower stupidly. He uses QER to fully activate and clear out the normal minions, then stands close to the edge of the wall. If he finds any abnormality, he can use W [Valkyrie Dive] to return to the second tower or enter the lower half of the jungle area.

9 minutes 15 seconds.

Faker returned to the city to pick up the [Special Express] explosive packs that refreshed on both sides of the fountain, got the blue BUFF, and frequently moved towards EDG's bottom lane, putting a lot of pressure on Iboy and Meiko.

Scout was forced to roam with them, and was soon caught by SKT.

Faker was lying in ambush and saw Galio. He used the enhanced version of W [Special Express] to pass through and bounce Galio away. He then used Spider Queen's E [Cocoon] to stun and control, and combined with the combo of human form W + spider form QAWA and the burst of Corki, he successfully killed Galio and launched a counterattack against EDG.

"The kill belongs to Faker. This is what SKT wants to see most."

Miller pursed his lips and said, "Compared to the first game, SKT achieved the ultimate linkage between the mid, jungle and support positions in the second game. Centaur couldn't fight Elise head-on. Galio had to bear the problem of lack of vision when he bought Banner of Command as his first item. Xayah and Thresh were suppressed again. SKT seemed to be able to do whatever they wanted in the bottom half."

“Yes.” Wawa agreed: “Faker [Special Express] seized the opportunity very, very well. It feels like even with Banner of Command in the middle lane, it’s not that easy to fight.”

"The main difference is that Galio and Sion are different." Ruofeng compared the characteristics of the heroes: "When the minions strengthened by Banner of Command enter the tower, Sion dares to go in and attack. If he is caught, he can drive away, but Galio dares not go in and attack the tower. A single mana-immune minions and a defensive tower Solo actually don't consume much."

The CD time of Banner of Command is two minutes.

But there is one cannon cart in every three waves of soldiers, that is, once every one and a half minutes. This means that Galio only strengthens the cannon cart, and you need to wait one more minute.

Excluding the participation of heroes and other minions, relying on cannon carts to Solo the tower... let alone the laning phase, I'm afraid the game will be over!
"SKT went to fight the first fire dragon."

Miller looked at the situation and said, "Except for the top laner, EDG's positions are very passive and they don't have the capital to take the initiative to fight SKT. In the top lane... Tian did get more than 20 last hits in the laning phase, but his roaming to the middle lane didn't produce any results, which wasted his time."

While constantly roaming, he still opened up a 20-hit difference.

The advantage is huge.

but.

This advantage on paper is still far from winning.

As the level and equipment increase, the tree's survivability becomes stronger and stronger, and it will not be easily destroyed like the Gnar used before.

For SKT, as long as Huni can survive in front of Ye Tian, ​​they have achieved their predetermined goal.

"Scout resurrected and went online, but was attacked by Faker again. He could only use [Justice Punch] to run back."

"The second one is still a fire dragon. The situation is a bit unfavorable for EDG."

Ruofeng commented: "Faker didn't have a particularly eye-catching performance in the group stage, but in the final game of the quarterfinals and the BO5 against RNG in the semifinals, Faker got a hero that could control the situation. In the last game, EDG used Banner of Command to break Faker's support play, but in this game, Faker regained control of the mid lane."

"SKT's wins were basically all due to Faker's performance." Wawa agreed: "Faker moved down from the jungle again, walked to the triangle bush to show you a look, helped destroy the vision of the bottom lane and then left. EDG is really hard to deal with."

Faker's performance has given the Korean fans high enough expectations.

Who is the strongest mid-lane player in the MOBA e-sports League of Legends? There may be controversy in a few years, but in the S7 season, Faker, who won three world championships in S3, S5 and S6 and led SKT to the finals with a one-protect-four approach, is undoubtedly the strongest mid-lane.

"We have to admit that Faker is indeed experienced and sophisticated."

Sjokz commented on the English live broadcast channel: "Tian roamed the middle lane several times but failed to catch Faker. This was unimaginable in Tian's previous games. The most familiar scene before was that Tian defeated the opponent's top lane and launched an offensive to do whatever he wanted to the whole field. But in this game, Tian's offense encountered obstacles here with Faker."

"That's right." Rusty, who has a higher rank, expressed his opinion: "Compared to a 5v5 team battle, this year's World Finals is more like a 1v1 knight duel. The two sides are Faker from SKT and Tian from EDG."

"I think everyone agrees that SKT and EDG were able to reach the finals thanks to the individual performance of Faker and Tian. The victory or defeat almost entirely depended on these two top players."

"The two sides met in the finals for the first time, and Tian taught Faker a lesson."

“The second time, the relationship seems to be reversed.”

[God's power is indeed unquestionable]

[Faker has an almost perfect career and has never made a mistake. He was able to reverse the battle between the two teams. I believe he will be able to win the final victory this time as well]

【Ryu: ???】

[Why do you always mention Ryu when you mention Faker? Are you polite? 】

[Tian's strength should not be underestimated. This year, Tian's performance is similar to that of Faker who just debuted in the S3 season. The only suspense is how many minutes the opponent will be killed, not whether the opponent will be killed in this game.]

[This is a challenge from the new generation of legends to the older generation of legends. No matter what the result is, the process will definitely be exciting.]

[I hope Faker can win his own three consecutive championships. For him, it is unlikely that he will have another chance in his entire career]

English channel viewers sent comments one after another.

among them.

The North American region is basically full of Faker supporters.

the reason is simple.

In any competition held in the North American region, Faker won the final championship, and in the five years from S3 to S7, except for CLG's lucky victory over SKT once, no other North American team could beat SKT even in a small game. With such an exaggerated record in front of them, North American audiences can't find any reason to be dissatisfied with SKT or Faker.

In LCK, Faker is known as the immortal devil.

In North America, Faker is revered as a god.

Compared with Ye Tian, ​​North American audiences hope that Faker can reach the top this year and achieve an unprecedented achievement that is almost impossible to replicate in the future.

EDG player seats.

Ye Tian looked at Faker's figure disappearing from time to time, and frowned slightly.

Faker is worthy of being Faker.

Compared to UZI who calls himself "bottom lane Faker", Faker also has the mentality of confidently fighting 1v2 even though he knows he will be ganked. The difference is that Faker can accurately measure the combat power of both sides and make the most reasonable decision.

This is also the basis for Faker's most famous 1v2 scenes in the mid lane.

Faker will only do it if he thinks it is possible.

Knowing that he couldn't do it, Faker refused to take the risk.

So……

"Tian Ye, make an eye here."

Ye Tian clicked on the red BUFF bush and added: "Make a real eye."

"True eye? Okay!" Although Meiko didn't understand, she still followed the command and inserted the true eye that she had just bought at the fountain into the position requested by Ye Tian.

It didn't take long for the eye position to be determined.

Ye Tian cleared the top lane soldiers, scanned into SKT's jungle area, and used... Teleport! on the true eye!
"Um?!"

Ruofeng was acutely aware of the situation: "Tian flew to the lower half of his jungle area, is he setting up an ambush?"

Mouthful of questions.

But the tone used was affirmative.

After killing Maokai and creating Tiamat, Shen has been wanting to go to the middle lane to catch Corki. This time he used his teleport to land in this position. If this is not an ambush for Corki, how could it be?
The probability of ambush success is still very high!

In order to avoid the unstoppable tower dive in the previous game, Faker moved to the bottom lane after seeing Shen disappear. As SKT's advantage in the bottom half expanded, Faker's route to the bottom lane was changed from the river to EDG's jungle.

this time.

Naturally, it is no exception.

"No!"

“Sang Hyuk, don’t!”

"You can't go this way. You absolutely can't go this way!"

“Ashiba, nooooooooooooooooo!”

Accompanied by the wailing of the Korean commentator, Faker piloted the airplane into EDG's jungle area and walked unnoticed in front of... Shen!

Coming in front of Qing Gangying means death!

"Duoduo, Mingkai, come and kill!"

Ye Tian walked out of the bushes.

[Hex Ultimatum] Take action!
The Blue Steel Shadow leapt up, and six energy cores were evenly distributed, forming an insurmountable energy barrier.

Faker's reaction speed was extremely fast. The moment he saw Shen, he used W [Valkyrie Dive] to fly towards the dragon pit, but he touched the edge of the energy barrier and bounced to the center of Shen's ultimate at a speed faster than flying!

A magic circle appeared on the ground, covering most of the screen—Galio [Hero Appearance] was about to land.

At the edge of the field of vision, a horse with four hooves blazing with fire rushed out!

Three packs in one!

Peanut was not far from Faker, but facing the three strong men, Shen, Galio, and Centaur, the Spider Queen, who was only suitable for single combat, obviously did not dare to join the battle. She could only stand in the distance and watch Faker being besieged.

Ye Tian used his R skill first to hold Faker back.

Perform an AQ combo.

After Galio lands and knocks him into the air, he uses E [Hook - Wall Return] to make a sure-hit collision, and adjusts the angle to knock Faker away from the dragon pit, leaving no room for Faker to flash through the wall and struggle.

The Centaur followed up and QWA filled the damage.

Ye Tian’s second normal attack + [Precision Etiquette] swept over and took down Faker’s head!

【Beautiful!】

[Finally killed him, Faker is really hard to catch]

[I held my breath for a long time before I dared to breathe]

[The situation has become so tense without even a single kill. Both sides are too strong.]

[Keep an eye on Faker and kill him! As long as Faker is killed, no one else from SKT will be able to stand up]

"Well done!"

"Faker was victimized by inertia. He didn't expect Tian would go to such lengths to catch him!"

Wawa was cheered up: "Faker kept going to EDG's bottom lane, and his habit was known to them. Tian teleported to his position in advance and waited for the opportunity. Faker stabilized for more than ten minutes, but he still couldn't stabilize!"

"Tam was forced to dodge, probably because he got hooked." Ruofeng noticed another corner: "Just now SKT's bottom lane pushed very deep, Faker was caught and they had to run back... Oh, okay, the director gave the replay, and it turned out that Tam got hooked. Tian not only caught Faker in this wave, but also helped EDG's bottom lane establish a summoner skill lead."

Tam didn't flash.

SKT's bottom lane didn't dare to push the line at will.

For EDG, it was a pleasant surprise.

With the combination of Shen + Centaur + Banner of Command Galio, whoever is caught will be killed. From the perspective of the EDG team, the laning phase should of course end as late as possible. When Ye Tian killed Faker, Meiko used a hook to force Tam to flash, allowing EDG to take the initiative that had been lost for a long time.

Not only that.

After getting three hundred dollars from Faker, Ye Tian finally made his first big item!

"what?"

"Tian first played the Greedy Hydra?"

Miller was a little confused, but soon realized, "I see. Tian wants to cross the line and cut off the soldiers, and then pull Zweichang to counter-jungle together. With the sustain provided by the Greedy Hydra, there will be no loss for Shen to cross the line and cut off the soldiers. Although the damage is lower than that of Trinity, it is enough to kill both Spider and Corki with the cooperation of Centaur."

"With the Greedy Hydra, Shen can ignore the counterattack of the tree." Ruofeng added.

Before the synthesis of Ravenous Hydra, the reason why Shen did not exchange blood with Maokai was that Maokai was difficult to kill and catching Corki was more profitable. Another point that cannot be ignored is that after half of the health was consumed, he would be killed instantly by the combination of Maokai and Elise.

After the Greedy Hydra is synthesized, this problem will no longer exist.

Consumption?
Just spend it!
Let the tree consume enough!
Coming to the top lane, Ye Tian used E [Hook - Wall Return] to rush towards the tree. Even though he was knocked back by the tree's enhanced seed + Q skill, and did not touch the tree and had to endure the counterattack, he could still get his status back to full by simply hitting the soldiers a few times. Using blood to exchange for the tree's mana was a sure win.

Maokai only has cloth shoes + slag, and dare not use the Immortal A on Shen.

The passive [Mystic Energy Absorption] requires five skills to be cast nearby to activate. Facing the rogue style of Shen who does not use Q or W even once, it takes a long time to recover health.

The line of soldiers was pushed forward, and Maokai needed to use skills to make up for the tower damage. The already tight mana bank was even more insufficient. Even if there was a very suitable Spider Queen in the jungle, the threat to Shen was reduced to the lowest point.

Before SKT's third red BUFF refreshed, Scout used the Banner of Command to strengthen the cannon vehicle's ability to obtain advance support, and followed Ye Tian and the factory manager to invade the jungle and drive away Peanut.

The factory manager easily defeated his favorite F6.

Ye Tian finished eating the red BUFF and the stone beetle.

Enter the river.

Get the Rift Herald.

Surprisingly, the hero who picked up the Eye of the Vanguard was not Shen, but... Galio!

"EDG's meaning is very simple. In the next four minutes, Faker, you are not going anywhere!"

"If you dare to leave the middle lane, at least one tower will be lost, maybe even both!"

Even the doll who didn't understand much about the game could see it.

The Eye of the Pioneer can last on the hero for four minutes. As long as Faker appears near the bottom lane, Scout can summon the Rift Herald to knock down SKT's middle lane outer tower. If Shen and Centaur can get to the middle lane in time, SKT's second middle lane tower will also be demolished!

"When EDG's skills are ready, Faker will be bypassed if he doesn't leave, right?"

Miller pointed out: "Whether it's Centaur or Shen, they can bring Galio into the game. When these three brothers work together, other SKT heroes can't interfere at all. Just like when they caught Faker in the jungle before, Peanut was clearly nearby, but he didn't even dare to come close."

"Shin comes closer, Faker still has to leave." Ruofeng weighed the pros and cons: "If he leaves, the tower will be lost. If he doesn't leave, he will be forcibly bypassed. After giving away a kill, he will lose the tower again. Facing a Shining who disconnects without any consumption and strolls around casually, SKT's mid lane cannot be saved!"
