Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

As the strongest new generation player in South Korea, Kiin was selected as the top laner in the Asian Games, beating Khan, Smeb, CuVee and others. The biggest reason for this was of course that Ye Tian placed the fifth ocean in the Rank, making the Koreans think that Kiin could really compete with Ye Tian on equal terms, but Kiin's own talent and strength cannot be ignored.

Putting aside the common problem of newcomers in being not good at tank heroes, Kiin not only has outstanding mechanical skills, but his understanding and cognition are also at the top level in LCK.

——From a data perspective, the new version of Sword Demon’s Ban/Pick rate is as high as 100%, which is quite scary.

but.

Ban/Pick rate is the Ban/Pick rate.

Win rate is win rate.

Those heroes that have appeared in history and must be banned or picked, such as last year's Skateboard Shoes, S5's Iron Man, and S4's Cow, are truly monster heroes.

Skateboard Shoes was promoted to T0 directly by protecting the Censer Monster. Xayah and Rakan, who were originally qualified for T0, were forced to drop to T0.5. It is conceivable how strong he is as an old hero who has been weakened several times to suppress the new hero combination. Even the EDG team led by Ye Tian, ​​the "Tongtiandai", was unwilling to let Skateboard Shoes go to the opponent and was swept 3-0.

In the S5 season, Malphite not only had a 100% Ban/Pick rate, but also reached a terrifying 100% win rate. Even the recognized "European and American noobs" could beat the well-prepared LPL No. seed LGD by using Malphite.

Many people may not remember the old Bull in the S4 season, so I will just mention one thing - when the W skill hits the target, it can be followed by a basic attack that is sure to hit, and WA is used to consume during laning, and no hero can come up with a countermeasure. The designers weakened it twice in a row before pushing the old Bull back to the auxiliary position (when it was weakened for the first time, the old Bull could continue to fight WA with attack speed rune + attack speed dagger).

Compared with the above two, the win rate of Sword Demon is only about 100% based on the 60% Ban/Pick rate, which obviously lowers the value of the 100% Ban/Pick rate.

Moreover, in many matches, there is a clear gap in strength between the two sides, and the disadvantaged side has no ban slot to deal with the Sword Demon, so the Sword Demon is released. In this kind of game, the Sword Demon does not have a particularly big impact on the outcome, so the actual winning rate of the Sword Demon will drop by a few percentage points.

From this we can see that the new version of the Sword Demon is far from having the ability to help the disadvantaged side defeat the strong like the previous monster heroes.

Based on the above points, Kiin believes that releasing the Sword Demon is one of the few ways for him to defeat Ye Tian.

After all, the Sword Demon has a rigid character during laning. All his skills are non-targeted and have a high delay. Even combining the QE combo together is not very flexible. The passive [Death Sword Qi] that can cause additional damage and fully restore health looks very powerful, and it is almost free to attack, but this passive will be consumed as long as you make a last hit. Kiin is not stupid enough to exchange blood with the passive of the Sword Demon.

"Makes sense!"

"It's really not easy for Aatrox to establish a big advantage in laning, so just leave him some control in team fights."

"Either a crocodile will kill him, or a tank will fight him. As long as we can pull the strings, the Sword Demon will be useless."

Xiaohuasheng, Bang, and CoreJJ thought about it for a few seconds and felt that what Kiin said made sense.

As a substitute player and a junior in the league, Chikudi did not dare to express his attitude, but he had already agreed with Kiin's statement in his heart.

"Xianghe, what do you think?"

Coach Edgar turned to Faker and said, "If we release Aatrox, Tian might switch to the mid lane to put pressure on you. Do you think it's better to release Aatrox or ban him?"

"Akali must not be released, and Irelia should be avoided as much as possible." After careful consideration, Faker spoke cautiously: "Relatively speaking, Aatrox does not have a particularly high ceiling, and its operation is relatively simple and straightforward. If you pin it down at the critical moment, Aatrox will not have much effect."

Finish this sentence.

Faker inexplicably felt a chill at the back of his head, and his right eyelid twitched several times.

After pondering the theories of Korean medicine, the traditional culture of the underworld country of Korea, Faker remembered that the twitching of his right eye was a spasmodic twitch of the orbicularis oculi muscle and facial nerve, and it was nothing serious.

"Indeed it is."

"Then let the Sword Demon out as everyone said."

"If the Chinese team doesn't grab Aatrox, we can get it in the first round. If the Chinese team grabs Aatrox, we will decide which hero to let Kiin use based on the lineup."

Edgar made what he thought was a perfect plan and began to motivate the troops: "Everyone, our team is a collection of the elites of the Korean Nation. Each of you is a top expert in your position. No matter what, we can't let Tian be nailed to the pillar of shame - think about it, the Chinese team on the other side, except for the jungler and the support, if the others are not with Tian, ​​they can't even win the LPL league championship. They are not in the same league as you."

"We must win the second game, tie the score, and then defeat the Chinese team in the BO3 match to let all the Korean audience know that our bloodline is the best!"

...

“On it, on it!”

"Ye Tian, ​​are you sure you can take Pike if you don't have the Sword Demon?"

Abu received a notification from the on-site staff and called on the team members who were resting with their eyes closed to stand up.

Before leaving the lounge.

Abra asked Ye Tian to confirm again.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Ye Tian. If it were any other hero, even top lane Teemo, Abu would design a series of lineups and tactics around Teemo without saying a word.

but.

Parker is different.

First of all, the idea of ​​top lane Pike is much more outrageous than top lane Irelia or top lane Akali.

Although the new versions of Irelia and Akali have various shortcomings, they have appeared many times in Rank. Regardless of whether the hero strength meets the standards, at least when they were remade, the designers considered providing these two heroes with attributes and mechanisms that are sufficient to gain a foothold in the top lane.

What is Parker?
It's an auxiliary that can't stack health points!

The harvesting of R [Grudge of the Fountain] is indeed powerful, but Ye Tian, ​​as a hexagonal big daddy who can resist, fight, output and harvest, is using a hero like Pike who is very dependent on teammates, and he obviously lost five sides!

"rest assured."

"I'll take the same C as Parker."

Ye Tian promised: "If I take the Sword Demon, everyone can choose normally. If I take Pike, everyone can just go with the team battle lineup."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." When Abu heard Ye Tian say this, he tried to suppress the doubts in his heart and nodded.

When the two teams walked out of the contestant channel and returned to the main stage, uniform cheers rang out again. Five-star red flags fluttered in the audience, completely suppressing the arrogance of the Koreans.

Commentary seat.

Wang Duoduo and Rita made preparations early and sat in front of the camera waiting for the director to push the stream.

"Dear audience, welcome back!"

“This is the gold medal match for the electronic sports exhibition event League of Legends at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games!”

Wang Duoduo first summarized: "In the first game, the Chinese team, with Ye Tian as the core, crushed the Korean team. Although the Korean team organized a beautiful counterattack in the middle of the game, it was still broken by Ye Tian's personal ability. In the upcoming second game, neither side made any personnel changes, but just exchanged positions."

"The Chinese team switches to the blue side, and the Korean team switches to the red side." Rita gave a brief introduction: "The blue side can ban first and pick first, and has a certain priority. The red side can get the last pick and respond as a follow-up."

While talking.

The camera moves to the scene.

Players from both teams had serious looks on their faces and took the game very seriously.

Complete routine inspection.

Enter the Ban/Pick phase.

The Chinese team first banned the ice shooter Ashe.

"Banning Ashe for two games in a row has a very clear meaning. It prevents the Korean team from using Ashe's E [Eagle Strike] to detect the jungle area, providing Mala Xiangguo with better space to do things."

"The first pick banned by the Korean team was Akali. This shows how much pressure Ye Tian put on the Korean team when he used Akali in the first game, so much so that he promoted Akali to the first ban in the second game."

"In the second ban, the Chinese team gave it to Lulu, and the Korean team gave it to Irelia."

"Here comes the point. Should the Korean team ban Aatrox?"

Wang Duoduo and Rita were talking to each other.

Ye Tian has never demonstrated the Sword Demon in any official competition. As for Rank... From the Asian Games group stage all the way to the finals, everyone knows that Ye Tian's Rank is just a joke.

"It actually makes sense to ban or not ban the Sword Demon."

Shenchao explained to the audience in the live broadcast room: "The Chinese team has been actively banning Aatrox before. Tiange may not be very good at Aatrox, or he can't reach a very high ceiling with Aatrox. I personally tend to be the latter. Aatrox has three stages of Q and two stages of E, which is equivalent to an enhanced version of Riven. It is very afraid of control and pulling, and these two points are exactly what LCK is best at."

"Personally, I feel that instead of targeting Aatrox, it is better to target Galio. If Xiye gets Galio, Tiange can use Mala Xiangguo to destroy the Korean team's jungle area."

Just as Shen Chao said.

When the Chinese team gave the third ban to Ryze, the Korean team quickly pushed Galio to the ban seat.

The Chinese team chooses first.

"Listen, the extinct, the dead silence!"

A slow, low voice seemed to come from the void, and a darkin warrior holding a huge sword, full of rage for revenge, appeared in the center of the big screen in a rampant manner.

Darkin Sword Demon - Aatrox, confirmed!
Since the Korean team decided to release the Aatrox, they were of course well prepared. When they saw the Aatrox appear, they picked out Alistar and Shen as the first two picks.

Lao Niu has double hard control of Q and W.

Shen has the pulling function of W and E and the locking function of R, and he can also steal the enemy instead of banning them.

"The Chinese team got Kaisa + Braum on the second and third floors."

"The Korean team got Varus on the third floor."

Rita read out the names of the heroes: "From a confrontational perspective, Kai'Sa is a little bit inferior to Varus, but Braum is enough to make up for this problem. The bottom lane is almost evenly matched. The other positions are still uncertain - Aatrox can swing between the top and mid positions, and Shen can swing between the top and jungle positions. There is enough room for adjustment."

"That's true." Wang Duoduo continued: "In the second round of bans, the Chinese team targeted the two front row players, Troll and Ornn, while the Korean team targeted Kled and Morgana. On the fourth floor, the Korean team picked Lissandra, the Frost Witch, and released the Leblanc, who performed well in the previous game."

"Lissandra can counter Leblanc to a certain extent, and Shen can also impose strong restrictions on Leblanc in teamfights." Rita's understanding ability is very good among female commentators: "It is difficult for Leblanc to have room to operate when encountering such a point control hero, especially Shen. When he sees Leblanc appear, he will directly use his R skill to lock her. Even if Leblanc uses W to move, Shen will be pulled back by his R skill."

"But Su Hanwei still got Leblanc. This is the confidence of professional players!" Wang Duoduo looked at the screen: "According to the selection, Aatrox can only go to the top lane. We have never seen Ye Tian use the Darkin Aatrox in an official match before. This time we can open our eyes!"

Hear this.

The expectations of all the audience were heightened.

The strength of the Sword Demon is not enough compared to those abnormal heroes that appeared in history. As far as the current version is concerned, the Sword Demon is definitely the No. 1 in the top lane position.

How strong can the number one top laner be using the number one top lane hero?

"For the last pick, the Chinese team got Lee Sin, and the Korean team got Shen."

Rita made an analysis: "The Chinese team's mid laner Leblanc and jungler Lee Sin are trying to seize the early game rhythm, and their play style is very proactive. The Korean team's mid laner Lissandra, jungler Shen, top laner Shen, and support Tauren tend to respond passively."

"This match can be described as a battle between sword and shield!" Wang Duoduo concluded: "The Korean team is best at operational tactics, similar to defensive counterattacks in traditional sports, while the Chinese team is best at offensive tactics. Both teams have brought out the most confident and best-performing lineups. Let us wait and see who will win!"

The region where the South Korean team is located.

Coach Edgar is communicating with his players.

"Jiren, this lineup doesn't require you to risk the crocodile."

Edgar first did some psychological work on the top laner: "Our other four points have strong control and pulling capabilities, and sufficient teamfight control. Having an extra crocodile is a bit out of place. Moreover, the crocodile needs to take the initiative to attack during the laning phase, and it is easy to be caught as a breakthrough point - the other heroes have strong enough self-protection capabilities, and it is difficult for the Chinese team to catch it."

"Although you are not good at Shen, Shen does not require a particularly high level of proficiency as a hero. You just need to withstand pressure during laning and support your teammates after level 6."

If you change the team, Kiin is not good at forced picking on Shen, and he may not be able to use his ultimate well.

but.

The Korean team has Faker who cuts five times in one second.

During the escape, Faker was able to switch screens to question teammates who missed the turret, telling Kiin in advance to prepare to use his ultimate to support and make up for Kiin's lack of awareness.

"I understand, don't worry, coach."

“There will be no problem in this game.”

Kiin issued a military order: "The main responsibility for the last battle lies with me, this battle is my atonement!"

"Okay." Edgar was very pleased: "As long as we can win the game, no matter what the statistics are, you are the biggest contributor. Before you, no top laner could withstand Tian's pressure. I hope you can be the first."

"Sang Hyuk (Faker), I'll leave the overall command to you."

"Junzhi (Bang), you played very well in the last game and did everything you could. Just keep it up in this game."

"Rongren (CoreJJ), your control is crucial. When fighting in a team, you must keep a close eye on Tian and always keep a control skill for Tian."

After completing the most detailed arrangements, Edgar left the contestant seat with difficulty. From the fact that he kept looking back every few steps, one could tell how worried he was.

In contrast.

Abramovich, the head coach of the Chinese team, appeared relaxed and quick-footed. He rushed to the center of the stage in two steps and waited for two seconds before shaking hands with Edgar.

When the coach leaves the field.

The match table appears on the screen.

Blue team: China

Red team: South Korea

Top lane: Aatrox vs Shen

Jungle: Lee Sin vs Shen

Mid: LeBron vs Lissandra

AD: Kaisa vs Varus

Support: Braum vs. Old Bull
The scene turns to Summoner's Rift, and the director first moves the camera to the river bend in the lower area. It can be clearly seen that there is a flame mark on the wall of the river bend.

——The first elemental dragon that spawned was of the fire attribute!
"The fire dragon at the beginning is a bit disadvantageous to the Chinese team."

Wang Duoduo commented on the matter: "Enchantress + Lee Sin are not that easy to deal with Lissandra + Shen in a 2v2 confrontation after level . Compared with Varus, Kai'Sa in the bottom lane is more inclined to develop in the early stage. In addition, the Korean team's top laner Shen can provide support first, so this fire dragon is not particularly easy to fight for."

"But we are on the blue side, so we have a chance to use the explosive fruit to jump down and steal something." Rita suggested.

"We are not good at this." Wang Duoduo said subconsciously, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he quickly made amends: "What I mean is that Liu Shiyu (Mala Xiangguo) has a very aggressive style and will use most of his energy on offense. He mainly plays GANK rather than map control, so..."

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[We are not good at this]

[South Korea is really good at stealing, we are far behind in this aspect]

[Koreans who like to steal...dragons, right? ]

【Application for World Heritage】

The barrage was full of joy.

In the game.

The two sides stood in a long snake formation and did not invade, adopting the most stable style of play. It can be seen that both teams have enough confidence in their own mid-to-late combat capabilities.

Kiin stood in the triangle grass on the top lane, and Faker stood in front of the F6 camp, ensuring that Xiaohuasheng's behavior at the start of the game with the red buff would not be seen by the trinket eye.

Mala Xiangguo also chooses to start with the red BUFF, gaining additional damage and deceleration gains to strengthen the initial confrontation capabilities.

The difference is that the Shen used by Xiaohuasheng has been weakened several times and he has to ask his teammates for help. The Lee Sin used by Mala Xiangguo is a traditional jungle hero and can start the game alone. This means that Kiin is destined to not get the line control in the top lane and will be suppressed by Ye Tian for a long time.

In this regard.

Kiin was mentally prepared and took targeted measures.

Since he has given up the idea of ​​taking out Crocodile and fighting Ye Tian head-on, he must focus on avoiding battles on the road. Suffering a small loss is completely unimportant. The victory or defeat can be determined in terms of support and team battles.

1 minutes 37 seconds.

The minions on the top lane came into contact with each other.

Ye Tian stood near the line of soldiers and waited for a few seconds before he saw Shen who had arrived late. He pressed TAB to take a look at the equipment status. Even Ye Tian couldn't help but say "Hey".

Good guy!
Kiin didn't bring the Doran series, but a small cloth armor + reusable potion, clearly intending to carry out the sticky candy gameplay to the end! (End of this chapter)
