Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"Weapon Master?"

Ze Yuan tried hard to understand the role that Weapon could play in the current lineup: "IG is a double shooter lineup of Lucian + Varus. Urgot can also be considered a shooter. Master Yi's E [Counterstorm] does have a good effect in team battles, but... what about laning?"

Except for the ancient times with dodge rune + dodge boots that could stun people every few seconds, Master Yi has never been strong in laning phase.

The S8 finals is another version that focuses heavily on laning, and it would be difficult for heroes to appear on the stage if their attributes are a little off.

Take Letme as an example. His proficiency in Ornn has amazed many professional players, and he deserves the title of the world's best Ornn. However, in this finals, Letme would rather use Sion than choose Ornn, the king of team control.

the reason is simple.

Letme's hard power is not that top-notch. If he chooses Ornn, he will be treated like a gyroscope by his opponents and he won't be able to last in team battles.

There is also the reworked Akali. All players know that Akali's [Twilight Shroud] ignores defensive towers and true eyes, and no one can deal with her once she develops. However, Akali's selection rate is only 6.5%, and the overall Ban/Pick rate is only 70%, which is nearly percentage points lower than Urgot and Aatrox.

What about the weapon E [Counter Storm] that can counter multi-AD lineups?
In terms of mechanism and its role in team fights after being formed, Master Yi is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Ornn and Akali!
As for split push...

The combination of Master Yi and Galio who can drop from the sky at any time is really excellent in split pushing. The two heroes together have a high chance of winning against 3-4 opponents.

The problem is that compared to Fiora and Shen, Yi Zhang lacks the ability to break through alone. Mixed damage is only useful in the early stage when no one has the attributes to support it. In the middle and late stages, its value is far less than true damage, the most real damage in Summoner's Rift.

From all aspects, the choice of the Weapon Master is highly questionable.

[Something is wrong, Brother Tian’s hero is restricted]

[Akali, Irelia, and Fiora are all banned. There are no heroes available except the mixed ones. It’s really uncomfortable]

[Why is EDG in such a hurry to grab Jarvan? Don’t they still have Shen? If all else fails, they can just pick up Xin Zhao and bring Galio into the game.]

[You guys know that Bay Studios doesn't have Shen, right? Picking him in the Summer and Intercontinental Games is a gift]

[Now that there is a policewoman, you can’t use Xin Zhao, the hero’s nature conflicts]

[It's too difficult to use weapons to fight Urgot. One is the son of the version, and the other is the eye booger of the times. The one who uses Urgot is still The shy]

[I think we should keep Jace. It's okay to let him go.]

[No problem? IG has already picked Lucian to play in the middle lane, and Jayce is a must-pick, can you handle it? It's okay for Tiange to switch to the middle lane, but won't you be killed by The shy if you go to the top lane at the beginning of the game? ]

[The junior is really a noob. I used to think he could take over General Pawn's job, but General Pawn hugged him until his waist was broken. He could even hold down Brother Tian's thick thighs, and some people even boast about the championship.]

[Fortunately, Tian Ge is the top laner. If Tian Ge was the mid laner, I would have the same 0% win rate as Mouse now]

The audience launched a barrage of criticism against Scout.

"Weapon Master?"

Rookie didn't know the top laner that well, so he turned around and asked, "Chenglu, it should be okay for you to use Urgot to fight Weapon, right?"

"No problem." The shy was very confident: "Other heroes are hard to beat, but weapons are easy."

"Come on Shy, I'll wait for you to carry me in this game." JackeyLove highlighted an emotional value.

Just a few words of discussion.

On the fifth floor, IG gave Baolan the Minotaur Chieftain, which he is more proficient in. He can not only fight against Braum, but also serve as a front row, and can also limit the entry of Master Yi in team battles.

After exchanges and adjustments, the lineup was finalized.

Blue square: EDG
Red side: IG
Top lane: Weapon vs Urgot

Jungle: Prince vs. Barrel
Mid: Galio vs Lucian

AD: Policewoman vs Varus

Support: Braum vs. Old Bull
"EDG's lineup in this game gives people an old-school feel."

Ze Yuan read out the names one by one: "Weapon, Prince, Policewoman, they look very similar to the S3-S4 era. These three heroes all have certain flaws in this World Championship, and they are more or less against the version."

"IG's choice was a bit hard." Remember looking at the other side: "Except for IG, all the teams that picked Lucian in the mid lane lost. IG was able to win because they were strong enough, but against EDG, IG did not necessarily have an advantage in individual ability."

"Both teams have the LPL style and dare to fight hard." Wang Duoduo commented: "And just like it is better to have no books than to believe in them completely, the version is important, but you don't need to be consistent with it completely. Using some unique heroes or special routines according to your own understanding can have a good effect."

"But for EDG, especially Tian Ge, the laning phase is not that easy." Ze Yuan repeated his point: "We just mentioned that Master Yi is really at a disadvantage against Urgot. It all depends on Tian Ge's personal performance."

Ze Yuan is not the only one who thinks so.

Zzitai, Shenchao, Wang Caomei, Gogoing, PDD and other retired top laners and active top laners in LPL all think so.

True.

Last year, Ye Tian used his weapon to counter and defeat Khan’s Jayce.

But through comparison, it can be seen that Khan's strength is somewhat inferior to The shy. Urgot's stability and tolerance are far above Jayce. Ye Tian can beat Khan's Jayce, but it does not mean that he can defeat The shy's Urgot.

“It’s hard to fight.”

“It’s really hard to fight.”

As the anchor who knows Ye Tian best, Zzitai shook his head on Channel 2: "To be honest, even if I go up and use Urgot, Brother Tian is not that easy to deal with - just look at the skills. Urgot's Q can get free damage, W shield can exchange blood, E can form control with Weapon's E to offset, and you can also throw Weapon behind you to let the minions hit you. The Weapon Master's mechanism is dead, how can you play it?"

[Starting to breastfeed? ]

【The shy: What is the white thing on the keyboard? 】

[To be honest, it's really useless. The weapon damage and tankiness are not as good as Urgot's. You can only fight if you use flash to avoid Urgot's ultimate.]

[Even if you dodge, you can't hit. How long does it take for a flash to appear? How long does it take for Urgot to use his ultimate? And if you use your ultimate to dodge, Urgot will flash away and wait for the next wave to come.]

[Scout is really a drag, why doesn't EDG change the mid laner? 】

[Who to replace? Apart from those who are not for sale, is there anyone who looks like a human in the middle lane? ]

During the discussion in the barrage, the camera turned to Summoner's Rift.

Compared with the calm three wind dragons in the previous game, this time the little dragon was more combative. As soon as the game started, a fiery red dragon head appeared in the upper left corner of the screen.

The value of the Fire Dragon is certainly not as intuitive as that of the Earth Dragon. If it refreshes in the third or fourth line, you can strategically abandon it.

But if you get the first one, it will be a must-win for you.

EDG's duo lane had a crushing victory in the previous match, but this one can only be considered a slight advantage.

Taking into account a series of factors such as the fact that Prince's performance in the jungle is slightly inferior to that of Gragas, Galio cannot beat Lucian in the middle lane, and the opening of the Xiaolong River Bay is facing the red side, IG team has a higher probability of getting the Fire Dragon.

"Everyone can follow the mobile version of League of Legends and participate in the lucky draw after getting first blood..."

Remember to finish the lengthy ad copy and get to the point: "JackeyLove and Meiko met in the river and scouted each other's positions. In the upper half, The shy learned W at level 1 and swept away Scout's trinket ward...earned a lot of very important experience!"

"The shy can reach level 2 in one wave of soldiers by destroying the ward alone, but Tian Ge needs to kill the first melee soldier in the second wave to reach level 2." Wang Duoduo pointed out the specific difference: "Once Scout gave away this ward, it became even more difficult for Tian Ge to fight in the top lane."

【? ? ? ? ? 】

【What are you doing, junior? 】

【crazy? 】

[Seeing Urgot coming over, why is the junior still placing a ward in the bush? Don't you know that Urgot can fire three shots in one second? ]

[Can't win in laning, BP is lagging behind, and you add difficulty to Tian Ge after entering the game? ]

[This is really a payment.]

A series of complaints emerged.

With the development of League of Legends today, everyone knows the significance of reaching level 2. No matter which path you take, reaching level 2 first means absolute initiative.

The strength of a hero like Urgot is inherently suppressive against Weapon, so it's not surprising that Urgot leads all the way to level 6.

In the eyes of bystanders, EDG's handling of Jayce in the Ban/Pick phase was Scout holding Ye Tian back, and the experience of giving The shy a trinket eye at the beginning of the game was based on which they held on to Ye Tian's front leg.

Before the laning match even started, Ye Tian was locked down by his teammates!
"what?!"

Scout apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Tiange, I... I... I was careless and gave the experience of a ward to Urgot."

"It's okay, just be more careful in your next life." Ye Tian was very generous.

"Next...next life?" Scout was horrified.

"Hahaha, Lican, you're done. Brother Tian is going to play mid lane in the live broadcast." Iboy added fuel to the fire.

"I'll start the game with the blue buff and go to the top lane to gank. If Urgot pushes the line, at least I can force him to flash." Karsa was much more serious and helped Ye Tian find a solution as soon as possible.

"No need." Ye Tian refused: "Urgot has displacement, and losing flash at the beginning will not have much impact. It will also disrupt your own jungle clearing steps. I can stabilize the top lane by myself. You don't need to feel pressured, Lican, just develop well, and find opportunities to do things after level 6."

"Okay." Karsa nodded in agreement.

"I... understand!" Scout still felt guilty.

1 minutes 30 seconds.

The first wave of wild monsters refresh.

Karsa attacked the red buff with the help of Iboy and Meiko, while Ning used the heroic characteristics of Gragas to open F6 alone.

In this way, Karsa's position is relatively clear, and Ning's position is still very hidden. In terms of jungle confrontation, Ning has a certain advantage.

Simultaneously.

Varus + Agni gained control of the line, while the Policewoman + Braum used by Iboy and Meiko could only take a defensive stance.

Not to mention the two single lanes in the middle and upper parts.

Galio is no different from a target in front of Lucian, and he will take damage when clearing minions.

The Master Yi is relatively better at facing Urgot. Ye Tian first goes in and out of the edge of the bush, using the blind spot of vision to block The Shy's two attacks, and then uses E [Counterattack Storm] to rush forward to replenish the remaining melee soldiers.

It's no big deal to get hit in the leg once.

The equipment Ye Tian brought with him this time was the Corruption Potion, which had better endurance than The Shy's Doran's Blade. As for a head-on fight... if the weapons and equipment were of the same level, he would be no match for Urgot anyway, so there was no need to consider this issue at all.

"Tian Ge played very well in the top lane, but Scout was at a clear disadvantage in the middle lane."

Ze Yuan explained the actual situation: "Rookie likes heroes like Lucian who are aggressive in the laning phase. He also got strong heroes to gain advantages and help the team win many times in IG's key games. Rookie took the initiative to attack, using [Transparent Holy Light] + passive dual guns to consume. Scout blew [War Wind] in return, but was hit by Rookie's third shot and triggered a strong attack, so he failed to fight back."

"EDG's bottom lane... Iboy wanted to attack someone, but was pushed away by Lao Niu's [Wild Charge], and Lao Niu triggered an aftershock, which was much more resistant than Braum's Guardian."

"Aniloquent and Braum exchanged health points, which was very profitable." Remember to make a comparison: "Aniloquent can rely on auxiliary equipment and his passive to slowly recover health, while Braum only has auxiliary equipment and no other means of recovering health. For EDG, the start of each position was not smooth. Now they urgently need a point to drive the rhythm, at least to have an advantage lane to hold on."

"It was Brother Tian who played this role before, but in this scene, it's not so easy for Brother Tian to step forward."

"Leaving aside the top laner, IG is stronger than EDG." Wang Duoduo used the previous games to measure: "IG played very well in both the regular season and the playoffs, only losing to RNG by half a point. EDG's performance in the regular season and playoffs was only in the upper middle of the LPL, and the strength of other positions was slightly weaker, so Tian Ge naturally had a hard time playing."

"We can see that Ning didn't go up this time - after defeating F6, Red Buff, and Krug, he went home to buy shoes and then went down. Although this style of play lost two river crabs, it made his position even more elusive. Karsa didn't dare to enter the IG jungle and couldn't find Ning's position at all."

I don’t know where Ning is.

EDG could only place wards in the river to defend.

but.

Compared to those junglers who find it difficult to successfully gank after being discovered by trinket wards, Ning used Predator Gragas in this game.

When the Predator is activated, a wolf head mark will appear on the head of the nearest enemy hero within a 45-yard range, overlapping the effect of the trinket eye. The Predator's % movement speed bonus means that for most heroes, they cannot escape even if they see it!
When Karsa failed to catch the mid laner, Ning activated the Predator, and after 1.5 seconds of guidance, he entered the extreme speed state and killed the policewoman Braum who was pushing back the line of troops!
JackeyLove shoots out E [Evil Arrow Rain] and slows down the opponent first.

Ning manipulated the barrel to drill out from the side.

Baolan pressed forward step by step.

Iboy was too far away from his own defense tower, and Braum did not have instant hard control to protect him before level 6. As a result, even if Iboy used Flash + E to move and heal to accelerate, he still could not escape the control chain between Gragas and Altaicaul. He was hit by [Meat Bomb Impact] and Altaicaul's WQ combo, and was sent back to the fountain by Varus' [Piercing Arrow].

"There's no other way. The policewoman can't control the lane and develop. We must push the lane back."

"Based on IG's previous play style, Ning would not appear in the bottom half at this point in time."

After Ze Yuan helped explain, he changed the subject: "But no matter what, it's already a bit difficult for EDG to get to this point... Let's take a look at the real-time win rate analysis given by Colonel KI. In Colonel KI's opinion, IG's win rate has reached 63%!" (End of this chapter)
