Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"After the coin toss before the game, IG team got the priority to choose the side for games 1, 3, and 5, which is relatively advantageous for them."

I remember making a brief analysis after the announcement: "In this World Championship, the blue team's win rate has reached more than 60%. The reason for this is that in addition to the blue team's own advantages, the counter relationship in the top position is not as absolute as before - everyone is either 40% to 60% or 30% to 70%, and there are rarely 20% to 80% or 19% situations like before. Players with strong enough personal strength can completely counter the laning."

"And from the map, the red team will face GANKs in the river and the triangle grass, making it even more difficult to protect themselves." Wang Duoduo continued: "IG has The Shy, the top laner second only to Tian Ge, and Ning is also focusing on helping the top lane. I think the confrontation between the top laners should be very exciting."

"However, IG took the initiative to choose the red side." Ze Yuan looked at the Ban/Pick interface that popped up and said, "This shows that in IG's mind, the importance of the last counter right is greater than the terrain advantage."

While talking.

The first round of bans was completed at the fastest speed
EDG was on the blue side, banning LeBlanc, Jayce and someone who surprised everyone... Rakan!

IG’s first two bans were given to Akali and Caitlyn, and they are discussing the third banned hero.

See EDG holding down Luo.

IG coach Kim Jeong-soo couldn't help but frown.

In addition to limiting the popular versions, there are two other strategies for Ban/Pick.

One is the strongest hero targeting the strongest point.

This kind of ban is expected by all teams, and they don't expect to get the strongest hero.

The second type is the hero who is best at targeting weak points.

Just like sending stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets to poor children in Africa and sprinkling itching powder on the backs of armless elderly people, these actions are all about attacking a position that the enemy cannot rescue, and the actual combat effect is even much better than the former.

but.

IG rarely gave Baolan Ren's Luo before!

As a hero who has basically never been picked and has only been used in five small games since the summer season, even if the win rate is 100%, it is not worth getting banned, right?

Could it be because the Policewoman was banned, EDG didn't have the Policewoman + Morgana combination, and they also dismantled Xayah and Rakan, who were most afraid of this combination?

Thinking of this, Kim Jeong-Soo felt a sense of regret. He felt that he should not have taken the red side for the two reasons of directly locking Xayah and Rakan and counter-picking the top laner, leaving EDG with too much room for Ban/Pick, so that Rakan, who was regarded as a hidden hero, was slapped in the face by EDG.

But that's it.

There's no point in regretting.

Kim Jeong-soo could only ask his teammates to hold down Galio in the third ban to prevent EDG from grabbing Galio first and forcing IG to choose this support hero.

"From the perspective of banning players, IG still wants to fight EDG head-on."

Remember to read out the heroes: "EDG first grabbed Irelia on the first floor. This is also a strong hero that Tiange can pick to break through the line. Whether it is the Asian Games or the World Championship, no opponent can stop Tiange's Irelia. At the same time, Irelia also has a swing - Scout's performance with Irelia is also very good."

Scout is not suitable for Irelia, just like Meiko has a peculiar smell when using Rakan. The problem exists, but it is not obvious.

Ye Tian only needs to take a glance to make the judgment.

Other professional players and more professional coaches may also be able to detect clues from the traces.

The commentators at around the platinum level have no idea, so there will inevitably be deviations in their analysis. This is also the main reason why many veteran players like to watch the second channel or the broadcasts of retired players.

For example, Zzitai immediately concluded that EDG chose Irelia as the top laner, and he was also very sure that IG would not choose Aatrox, but would instead give Fiora to The Shy to play in laning and split pushing.

really.

IG’s first two picks are Kaisa + Niu.

When EDG took out Sion + Taliyah on the second and third floors, IG decisively locked down Fiora on the third floor.

"Oh--"

"Fiora + Kaisa!"

Ze Yuan's eyes lit up: "In the face of Tian Ge's pressure, IG found a very unique solution, which is to use The Shy's personal ability to match Tian Ge, and then use Kai'Sa to limit Tian Ge's split push. In this way, even if Tian Ge can establish an advantage in a single lane, it will be difficult for him to carry out the previous play style."

"And from the perspective of direct team battles, IG's performance in this World Championship is no worse than EDG's."

"The shy may not be able to beat Tiange with Fiora, it will be different with more Kaisa." Remember to consider it from the perspective of heroes: "There is another key point, that is, EDG chose a Sion in the middle lane whose support speed is not that fast. Although Sion can also support the side lanes when driving, he is still much slower than Galio [Hero Appearance]."

Enter the second round of Ban/Pick.

EDG banned Lucian and Lee Sin. The former is the mid laner that only Rookie dares to use in this world championship, and the latter is the jungler that Ning is good at.

IG banned Thresh and Tam, and held down all heroes that could provide support, even the supports.

Fourth floor.

IG took the lead in choosing.

The one chosen was Shen as the jungler.

On the fourth and fifth floors, EDG locked down the goddess of war Sivir and the great inventor respectively.

Sivir + Big Head!

"what?!"

Wang Duoduo made an interjection: "Compared with Caitlyn + Galio, Sivir + Galio's consumption ability is not that strong, but they are better at pushing the line. When these two heroes push the line together, IG's Kaisa in the bottom lane can't stand it."

"I should have thought of it a long time ago." Ze Yuan slapped his thigh, "Since we can use Caitlyn + Galio, Sivir + Galio is a natural choice, especially since IG's Ning is famous for protecting The Shy and letting the bottom lane go. EDG's bottom lane will easily be able to break the tower early if they get this strong push combination."

"IG has to consider what to do. Either give up helping the top lane or watch the bottom lane get destroyed." I remember saying this and seeing IG's last pick: "Lissandra? Locked in. It looks like IG doesn't want to give up any lane."

"Ning goes to protect the top lane, and Rookie looks for an opportunity to capture the bottom lane." Ze Yuan guessed based on the lineup: "Little IG means not to make a choice, I want them all!"

After exchanges and adjustments, the lineup was finalized.

Blue square: EDG
Red side: IG
Top lane: Irelia vs Fiora
Jungle: Taliyah vs Shen

Mid: Sion vs. Lissandra

AD: Sivir vs Kaisa
Support: Big Head vs Old Cow
“The Ban/Pick game between the two sides was very exciting.”

"IG's style is to snowball through fighting in the early stage and build up their economic advantage. The disadvantage is that they are unable to open up the situation in the early stage, so their operational ability in the mid-to-late stage is somewhat weak. Although they also showed good operations in the last game against KT, they are still inferior to veteran operational powerhouses like EDG."

After Wang Duoduo finished talking about IG, he talked about EDG: "EDG's overall coordination is much better than last year, and they still rely heavily on Tian Ge. IG has effectively restricted Tian Ge's individual performance through heroes in the top, jungle, and AD positions, at least preventing Tian Ge from advancing recklessly on the side lanes."

While talking.

The camera pans across the audience.

Sitting in the front row were celebrity guests who had participated in LPL events, former veterans who had fought in the arena and retired with glory, and some of the top anchors from major platforms.

This kind of spectator lineup has never appeared in history.

After all, this year's championship is destined to belong to the LPL region. No matter what the result is, it will not disappoint everyone. Everyone can watch the exciting match between EDG and IG with the most stable mentality, waiting for the old king to defend the title or the new king to ascend the throne.

on the big screen.

The silhouettes of EDG and IG players flashed by one by one.

When the camera froze on the Summoner's Trophy, the picture was shaken open in an extremely impactful form, and the entire picture of Summoner's Rift appeared in front of all summoners.

【EDG——】【Come on! 】

【EDG——】

【come on! 】

【EDG——】

【come on! 】

...

[IG——]

【come on! 】

[IG——]

【come on! 】

[IG——]

【come on! 】

Three cheers were heard.

Players from both teams walked out of the spring and stood on both sides of the river.

IG has two crowd control players, Agni and Lissandra, and Fiora with a higher level of operation limit at level 1, while EDG has a solid Sion and Galio's turret array. Neither dared to invade the opponent's jungle rashly, and so chose a peaceful start. The scene seemed calm and peaceful.

But the commentators and the audience felt a sense of solemnity like a dark cloud covering the city.

1 minutes 27 seconds.

Iboy and Meiko walked out of the triangle grass and wanted to go to the bottom lane to push the line first. They happened to bump into JackeyLove and Baolan who were walking from the river, and started to exchange fire.

Iboy decisively gave up the push and points of W at level 1, and instead learned Q at level 1, and two stages of [Whirling Blade] hit JackeyLove.

Meiko held the turret and waited for it to fire. Although it didn't fire, its deterrent effect was full.

IG's bottom lane didn't dare to fight to the end. They simply exchanged blood and turned around and ran back. JackeyLove was chased and hit twice more, and had nearly 200 less health points than Iboy.

"IG's bottom lane is really hard to play against."

"The main reason is that Kai'Sa can't attack [Plasma]."

Ze Yuan's comment: "If the old bull doesn't go up and use Q, Kai'Sa needs five hits to use [Plasma] with basic attacks. You are a ranged player against two ranged players, and after five hits, you are almost dead. If the old bull goes up and uses Q, the Great Inventor will directly place the turret. At that point, IG's bottom lane may be forced to use summoner skills."

"IG's bottom lane's timing was a bit of a coincidence, as they just happened to run into EDG's bottom lane." Remember to imagine: "It wouldn't matter if they went earlier, later, or didn't go to the river... But then again, Galio would basically go to the bush to place a turret first, playing a wait-and-see tactic, so IG's handling of the situation wasn't actually wrong, but I didn't expect EDG to do the opposite."

"It's a bit of a split now." Wang Duoduo saw that the soldiers were touching each other and IG's bottom lane was forced to retreat. He explained the situation: "EDG directly cleared the soldiers to grab level 2, and IG could only pull back. Kai'Sa herself has short range, and with a melee support, she can't deal with Galio's turret at all. The middle lane is also EDG's lane right. Sion is much faster than Lissandra in pushing the line at level 1."

EDG has the advantage in both lanes.

Ning naturally didn't dare to use a single jungle and seriously injured Shen to cause trouble for Karsa, so he could only develop step by step and wait for the opportunity to go to the top lane.

In this regard.

Ye Tian rarely adopted an evasive strategy.

First go up to intimidate The shy to prevent The shy from disrupting the military line, then turn around and retreat to the vicinity of the ranged soldiers, pretending to wait for the enemy to be left with little blood.

The first three melee soldiers were naturally consumed to low health.

Ye Tian still didn't move.

Keep your distance and throw out two E [Double Blades] to collect them all.

"Brother Tian is more afraid of Ning - IG's bottom lane didn't help the jungler, Ning must have started the game with the red buff, and there is a chance to catch the top lane at level 2."

Ze Yuan saw the reason why Ye Tian avoided confrontation: "Learn Q [Blade Impact] at level 1 to stack the passive. Irelia is actually stronger than Fiora, but when a Shen comes in the middle of the fight, the situation becomes unpleasant. From the bird's eye view, we can see that Ning didn't come up, but this is the result of Tian Ge not giving him a chance from the beginning. If Tian Ge directly traded blood with The Shy, Ning would definitely come to take a look."

"Brother Tian didn't stack his passive, The shy pushed forward directly." Remember to read out the response: "Press forward, Q the flaw behind Brother Tian... didn't hit it!"

The first flaw on Ye Tian’s body appeared at the lower left corner.

The shy slid forward, and Ye Tian took the opportunity to move sideways, allowing The shy's sword to fall outside the flaw ring. Not only did The shy have to make one more normal attack, but he also had to spend two seconds to move during this period.

Two seconds is enough for the ranged soldiers to attack one more round.

The shy's proactive attack, which was originally intended to make a big profit, turned it into a small profit.

Exchange the two knives.

The second wave of soldiers pressed forward.

The shy had to retreat. Even though he used the second [Break Through the Air] to break the flaw in the upper right corner of Ye Tian, ​​his status was only ahead by more than thirty points.

Considering that Irelia's [Blade Impact] has a blood recovery mechanism, The shy's lead has no real significance.

There is one more important point.

As we all know, if the top laner uses a fast push method, the opponent will use the defense tower to push back, resulting in a disadvantageous confrontation between the second level and the third level.

Under normal circumstances, you will advance slowly, first eat up the cannon line, upgrade to level three, and then send the line into the tower.

Then.

The problem is coming.

It is known that Ning uses Shen to open the game alone, and IG has no lane rights in the middle and bottom lanes. Does The shy have the qualifications to control the lane and push slowly?
There is no line control in the middle and lower lanes, which means that if Ning does not clear the lower half of the jungle area, the resources will be looted by Karsa.

Ning went to clear the lower half of the jungle area, and The shy slowly pushed the line. If he was caught, he would be isolated and helpless.

When fighting against Ye Tian, ​​The shy was already at a disadvantage. Even if the sword lady's escape ability was strong enough and it was difficult for her to be caught, any random use of a summoner skill or loss of a certain status would be an unbearable pain.

It seems that the choice is in The shy's hands.

In fact, The shy had no choice but to send the soldiers to Ye Tian’s tower as quickly as possible.

Ye Tian stood calmly in front of the tower waiting, and used a little trick to refresh the flaw - first refresh the flaw to the right side facing Fiora, and when his own soldiers were about to be cleared out and the soldier line was about to enter the tower, he stepped back a few steps to get out of Fiora's field of vision, and let the flaw refresh to the left side, which was the back side that Fiora's Q could not reach.

Promoted to level two.

Click Q [Blade Impact].

Start brushing.

Every time she casts [Blade Strike], Irelia can increase her recovery by more than ten points through the double recovery of the skill + Doran's Blade.

Normal attacks can also provide recovery.

It may seem like only a single digit amount, but it can still be considerable when accumulated.

When the cannon line came to the tower, Irelia reached level 3 first, her blade was coated with a layer of golden light, and with nearly full health and four layers of passive, she crossed the line to find Fiora! (End of this chapter)
