Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"I long for a worthy opponent—"

Accompanied by a female voice that was cold but sharp, the figure of the Peerless Swordsman appeared in the center of the big screen.

In the current version, Fiora is not suitable for the mid and jungle positions, so once she is selected, it can be determined that she will be a top lane hero.

"Just show your sword!"

"Very much like Brother Tian!"

While praising him, Haokai also analyzed the hero's strength from a side perspective: "Urgot was developed during the playoffs. During the S8 Qualifiers, he had a 95.3% Ban/Pick rate and a 64.7% win rate, which is much better than Akali, Irelia, and Aatrox, the three heroes that were reworked this year. Although Fiora was strengthened in versions 8.17 and 8.19, the degree of strengthening was actually not large."

"That's right." Rita had collected information about the top lane before the game: "Fiora's second E damage and passive health recovery have only increased a little bit, and her rank and performance have not improved significantly. A few days ago, Faker was subbed to the top lane in a ranked match, and he encountered Urgot with Fiora, and he was quite passive during the laning phase. Of course, Faker is a mid laner, so subbing to the top lane is not particularly valuable, but Fiora needs to go around to exploit the flaws, and it is easy for Urgot's passive [Echoing Flames] to be fully utilized."

"When Urgot fights other heroes, he has to go around on his own, but when fighting against Fiora, he just needs to stand still. Fiora will be fully automatic." What Haokai said seemed to be very meaningful.

【? ? ? ? 】

【Driving, right? 】

[Brother doesn't need to move, sister is all automatic? ]

[What are the words of tigers and wolves]

[I think Haokai also wants to fuck Rita on the gaming chair]

There was a burst of ridicule in the barrage.

As for the differences in hero strength, the audience doesn't really care.

The European and American regions were labeled as "noobs" in the previous seasons. Even though Riot repeatedly buffed Europe and the United States through version updates, they were eventually scooped up by LCK.

Even though the European Rabbids MSF once pushed SKT into a desperate situation last year, the audience's impression of European and American teams has not changed much.

After all, compared to a Crazy Rabbit team, the two number one seeds, T Konglong and G Shenbing, left the stage hand in hand, leaving the audience with more laughs.

What's more, VIT only caused a little trouble to KT in the opening game, but they collapsed as soon as they entered the team battle. The strength they showed was only in the middle and lower levels among the 16 teams in the main competition. EDG's own strength was only in the middle level, but after inviting Ye Tian out, everyone had to admit that EDG was at least in the first tier and had no upper limit.

This can be seen from EDG's subsequent choices.

VIT brought out a lineup of Urgot on the top lane, Gragas on the jungle, Clockwork on the mid lane, and Kai'Sa + Leona on the bottom lane, hoping to use sufficient team control to stack layers of Kai'Sa's passive [Plasma] to make up for their own shortcomings in team battles.

EDG used Fiora on top, Taliyah on jungle, Galio on mid, and Lucian + Alistar on bottom. Judging from their attitude towards selecting heroes in the top and bottom lanes, we can tell that EDG doesn't take VIT seriously - didn't you see that Iboy, that idiot, has already started attacking?
"There is one thing that is actually quite strange."

Haokai discovered something very interesting: "From the summer regular season to the playoffs, and then to the final bubble game, we all said that EDG mainly relied on the mid and bottom lanes to carry the team, but when it came to the world game, we subconsciously felt that EDG's mid and bottom lanes needed to pick some functional heroes."

"With Tian Ge here, other positions can adopt a relatively stable play style, which can greatly increase the chance of winning." Rita spoke skillfully: "After entering the Summoner's Rift, the scene once again rang out the voices of cheering for EDG, as if we were in our own home court."

"It sounds no different from Zhengda Plaza." Haokai used an exaggerated description: "Iboy met Kaisa in the river in the bottom lane and used his W skill to blast him, but unfortunately he couldn't hit him."

Kaisa's position is exposed.

Scout, Meiko, and Karsa played a little trick.

——Meiko stood in ambush in the small bush in the middle of the river, Karsa went into the bush close to the terrain, the two took their positions, Scout walked into the river in front of Clockwork, tricking VIT's support Diana and jungle Gragas to come over and double-team them.

VIT is a lower-ranked team, so when they see an opportunity, they naturally want to take a gamble.

Diana stopped Socut from the other side and performed an AQ combo at close range, triggering the Aftershock cornerstone talent, but Meiko, Karsa, and iboy rushed out before the other VIT heroes and formed a counter-team against Diana.

The Sun Girl was shocked and could only dodge the Cow's Q [Earth Shatter].

"Pretty!"

"The bottom lane is ahead by one summoner skill!"

Haokai cheered: "EDG chose Lucian + Old Bull in the bottom lane, obviously to put pressure on Kaisa during the laning period. Now there is an extra flash in the support position. In the first five minutes, EDG's bottom lane has an absolute advantage."

The flash of a soft support is relatively unimportant. If the jungler is not targeting it, there will be basically no difference.

Hard support is different.

Especially in 2v2 against a hard support who is at a disadvantage.

As a hard support, you definitely cannot always stand behind the AD hero and watch the show. When necessary, you must step forward, threaten the opponent's AD, and create output space for your own AD.

In the absence of flash and the 2v2 confrontation cannot be won, it is easy for Diana to not be able to come back after going forward. If she doesn't go forward, Kai'Sa will definitely be overwhelmed by Lucian and the reckless Alistar.

At this time.

Colonel KI, who always gives a bad guess in almost every game, gave a win rate analysis based on the lineup in this game.

VIT's theoretical win rate is 57%, and EDG's theoretical win rate is 43%.

[Colonel, you started]

【Exerting Qigong】

[Reverse pressure on the Colonel, eat chicken nuggets until they burst]

[EDG has a 43% win rate, 4+3 equals 7, do you know who will win? ]

[EDG's actual winning rate is 43.96%]

【Thank you, Colonel】

"The Colonel remains the same as always."

Haokai tried hard to hold back his laughter: "Let's see how the junglers of both teams are going to play... Karsa goes to the upper half to start the game, allowing Iboy and Meiko to maximize their advantages in heroes and skills. VIT's Gragas starts from the lower half, and EDG's bottom lane can just set up an ambush in the triangle grass!"

When Diana and Kai'Sa walked towards them step by step and were about to enter the bush, Iboy used W + basic attack to trigger a strong attack. Meiko used the AQ combo and Ignite directly on Diana, not only forcing Kai'Sa to use healing to protect the auxiliary, but also forcing the Gragas who was about to go up to come over.

Diana was suppressed to low health, but couldn't go home for supplies.

Because Agni and Lucian have strong tower-crossing abilities, as long as Diana dares to leave, Kai'Sa without treatment will most likely be killed.

The Japanese girl could only use up the two bottles of red potions on her body, and then secretly use her salary to finish off the enemy and recover her health.

With such a big advantage in the bottom lane, Karsa naturally started to think. After finishing the red buff and F6 alone, he went along the jungle to the lower part of the river, just in time to catch the Gragas who was attacking the Rift Scuttler. With the faster support speed of the middle and bottom lanes, he drove the Gragas away and snatched the Scuttler.

"Brother Tian, ​​do you think I am hanging?"

Iboy proudly communicated in the team voice: "I feel like I killed faster than you in this game."

"No." Ye Tian refused on the spot. "Ah? No, what do you mean by not watching... That's not what I meant!" Iboy immediately responded: "I meant that my performance in this game will be awesome!"

“I won’t even look at that.” Ye Tian said as he exchanged blood with Urgot, and used Q [Sky Slash] to rush forward and create a flaw.

but.

This kind of blood transfusion is bound to be a loss.

The reason why Urgot was so popular in the S8 season was that the shield had not yet moved from W [Purification] to E [Scorn]. During laning, using W was both a quick shot and a shield to resist damage. A single skill took two aspects into account.

The E skill is kept in hand and not used, and can be used for attack or defense. It is completely different from Urgot, who was modified again in the S9 season and will have no shield if he does not use E, and will easily give away heads if he uses E.

As for the problem that the CD of Urgot's W skill is much longer than that of Fiora's Q... In the early stage of the game, Urgot can rely on his passive AOE to firmly grasp the line control. With Fiora's current strength, it is difficult for her to win against Urgot in the line of soldiers. In addition, the keystone rune of Urgot is a strong attack that can be triggered by A three times, while the keystone rune of Ye Tian is a conqueror that can only be triggered four seconds after entering the battle, which creates another gap.

Not long after reaching level 2, a health gap of one-third appeared in the top lane.

Urgot is the leader.

"Comfortable."

"I just really can't stand him being so crazy."

Letme was watching the live broadcast in the RNG training room: "Fiora is still fighting Urgot? What's the point of strengthening Fiora's attributes? Let's take a look at the 0% win rate in the play-in matches."

"He can't even beat the European and American top laners, let alone the others." Xiaohu laughed happily: "The heroes he played last year are not suitable for the current environment. Although he has trained Akali, Aatrox, and Irelia this year, these three can also be mid laners. Everyone will definitely handle them with bans and grabs. It won't be like last year when we couldn't deal with his heroes."

"What if he uses Sion?" Ming Shiyin was obviously mocking.

"Use it, give it to him! Give it to him too, Ornn!" Letme patted his chest and said, "If he uses one, I'll use the other. Let's see if he can kill me."

"When others praise him a few times, he really thinks he is an all-knowing person." UZI snorted coldly.

The reason why RNG dares to be so arrogant is not only because of the confidence brought by winning the German Cup in the summer finals, but more importantly, it lies in the environment of the S8 season.

On the surface, the number of heroes that appeared in the S8 qualifying stage was 74, setting a historical high, and it seems to be a version where a hundred flowers bloom.

But this "let a hundred flowers bloom" is reflected in the bottom lane where mage heroes can be used, the mid lane where warrior heroes can be used, and the supports and junglers based on the lineup, and has nothing to do with the top lane!

In addition to Akali, Aatrox, and Irelia, there are only two heroes that are not yet used up, Sion and Ornn, and the new favorite Urgot - this is still taking Ye Tian's personal level into consideration. Except for Ye Tian, ​​others can't even use Akali and Irelia well.

Moreover, Aatrox, Sion, Ornn, and Urgot do not have the ability to thread the line.

Ye Tian used the Aatrox in the Asian Games finals, and played against Kiin who was at his mercy. The economic gap between them was not too big during the laning period. The RNG team, which has Letme, who plays the equal role for all, is still afraid of Ye Tian?
Don't forget that RNG is the world's top combat force, and Riot Games even added two new levels, G (Best in the World) and U (God), to the scoring mechanism of this World Championship. In addition to RNG ranking high in the G level, even the LCK's No. 1 seed KT only remains at S+.

Before EDG invited Ye Tian to join the team, it was just a B-level team!

"Yes."

Letme thought about how Ye Tian had beaten him up last year, and wanted to take revenge: "If I run into him this year...ah?!"

Not a single sentence was finished.

Letme saw Fiora slide towards Urgot.

To be precise, in this wave, Urgot used a clear blood-wasting technique - when he was stuck at the node of reaching level three, he threw Q [Corrosive Charge] to blow up Fiora who was last hitting. Fiora was unable to use the skill due to her positioning, and running back with Q [Sky Slash] would cause the skill to enter a long CD.

What I didn’t expect was that Sword Lady actually dared to counterattack!
"Level 2 vs Level 3?"

"So brave?"

VIT top laner Cabochard certainly won’t be scared.

In Europe, although Cabochard's strength is not as good as sOAZ and Wunder, and he is overshadowed by the fledgling Bwipo, he is also a well-known choice at the time.

Use the strong Urgot in this version to fight against Fiora, who has been weakened many times and has a 0% win rate in the game after being strengthened. If you don't dare to fight when you are ahead in level and status, you might as well go back to raising pigs!

W【Purification】is activated!
A translucent shield appears around Urgot, and he uses the chain gun strapped to his torso to fire at the surroundings, while the [Echoing Flames] on the front and side legs shoot out fan-shaped bullets.

The response was fast.

but.

Ye Tian's Q [Breaking Air] did not rush to Urgot's face, but used a short Q operation to move forward a short distance, killing the low-health minions, avoiding Urgot's [Corrosive Charge], and at the same time made a fake move to trick Urgot into using his W.

Cabochard frowned slightly, feeling annoyed at being played, and immediately started to clear the soldiers with all his strength, wanting to send the soldiers to Fiora's tower as quickly as possible to make her lose development.

but.

Cabochard overlooked a problem.

When the fan-shaped bullets reach Sword Girl, she will enter combat mode!
Ye Tian waited for Q [Breaking Air] to be ready, then suddenly jumped out, rushed to Urgot against the minions, and broke the flaw with a sword. The normal attack that followed automatically triggered the [Conqueror] keystone rune.

Increases attack damage by 12 points, and converts 20% of pre-tax damage into real value.

Urgot did not encounter Fiora during this period, and his W skill entered CD. He had to attack three times in a row to activate [Power Attack]. For Urgot with an attack speed of 0.66, the duration of three basic attacks (the interval between two attacks) was more than three seconds!

Within three seconds, even though Urgot was ahead in level, his attributes lagged behind Fiora!
Cabochard realized that something was wrong and wanted to try to counterattack with the help of the larger number of ranged soldiers around him. However, after Ye Tian hit him three times in a row, he realized that he could not win and hurriedly ran under the tower.

When there was only a short distance left to the defense tower, Cabochard looked at his less than 200 health points and the Fiora chasing him from behind, and pressed E [Disdain] to move.

however.

Ye Tian was waiting for this moment!
Urgot's E skill is divided into two stages: reading and sprinting. During the reading period, you can use flash to change your position, achieving the effect of extending the distance or speeding up the judgment time of E flash.

When entering the sprint phase, the flash will turn gray and unavailable until the sprint ends.

After a short period of charging, Urgot rushed to his own tower, his six legs dragging a deep trail on the ground.

The golden light suddenly flashed.

The Fiora intercepted Urgot right in front of him.

W【Laurent's Heart Eye Knife】Charge!
Zheng——

The sound of metallic clanging was heard, and the seemingly frail body of the Swordswoman was as steady as a mountain in front of Urgot's overwhelming strength. The orange-red sword energy pierced out, stunning Urgot in the middle!
Basic attack!

Q【Breaking the Sky】!
The peerless swordsman slid to the side, and the blade of the western sword lightly poked Urgot's body, breaking the flaw that had just been refreshed, and then turned and retreated gracefully.

Only a leisurely line was left.

——"I have no rival." (End of this chapter)
