Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

At other times, once Colonel KI’s win rate comparison came out, he would definitely be criticized as a jinx, and IG fans with hot tempers might even curse him out loud.

But in this game, the 63% win rate that Colonel KI gave to IG was considered low in the eyes of most people.

Players who know a little about hero attributes know that Miss Fortune is quite weak in the current version. The reason why EDG dares to choose her is because the top laner is strong enough. Miss Fortune only needs to use Storm Cut and Cannon to attack POKE and place traps in resource groups. The missing team output can be completely made up by the top laner.

How strong is EDG's top laner?

Let's make the simplest comparison.

In the jungle position, players with different styles have their own strengths and weaknesses, and their peak periods basically do not overlap. It is impossible to say who is the best in the world. Even the spirited Peanut with silver hair and fighting devil is not necessarily stronger than the Dark Kai who took out Widowmaker and defeated Faker's LeBron in the 2015 MSI.

The support position was originally dominated by LCK players, but today, support players from the two major regions, LPL and LCS.EU, have slowly caught up, and the levels of the strongest players are quite close, with no first place to speak of.

Not to mention AD.

There are arguments between the double champion and the irrelevant JB.

Although there are a lot of water army hype and Tencent's plan to create gods to add fuel to the flames, it also shows to a certain extent that the player with the highest honor is not very convincing.

——All mid laners are proud of killing Faker alone, and they can even extend their professional career by one or two years. But I have never heard of any AD who counts killing the opponent or beating Bang as a resume. Even though peak Bang is currently the undisputed number one AD, many non-LCK audiences and players do not recognize it.

There are two single lanes, top and middle, but no one can shake the first position.

To be more precise, the players who are recognized as the best in the top and mid lanes are the highest mountains and the longest rivers in the entire history of the League of Legends when compared with the top players in all positions.

now.

However, this top laner fell into a disadvantage in the 1v1 confrontation.

There are many reasons for the disadvantages.

First, EDG will take Prince + Galio first, and they must take the strong opening route. Since they are taking the strong opening route, they need a top laner to make up for the lack of output of the policewoman, and they must choose a hero that is more offensive.

Secondly, since the mid lane is at a disadvantage, the top laner’s split push ability is also indispensable in order to help teammates delay time.

Being targeted in bans/picks and the mid laner giving away wards cannot be ignored either. Any small detail will be infinitely magnified in a peak confrontation.

but.

No matter how many reasons there are.

A disadvantage is a disadvantage.

Ning didn't even go to the top lane, and The shy, known as the best player in the world, took an all-round lead from experience to economy to status. Ye Tian could only wait until the melee soldiers were low on health and use [Counterattack Storm] to force a wave of attacks. As for the ranged soldiers with less gold coins, he could only give up with pain.

even so.

The shy also didn't let Ye Tian develop well.

When Ye Tian walked up again with his hands waving, and killed two soldiers at the same time with normal attack + AOE damage, The shy blocked the moment when Ye Tian finished his skill, pressed E [Contempt] and rushed over directly, trying to complete the integrated operation of control offset + displacement.

Ye Tian did not hesitate, used the Q skill, turned around and left.

"Brother Tian reacted very quickly and passed The Shy by."

Ze Yuan praised: "The weapon's [Leap Slash] has no priority. If it is hit by Urgot's [Scorn], it will be pushed behind. At that time, the weapon has no displacement and no dodge. Even if you use Flash, you may not survive."

"Tian Ge's timing and attention to detail are still top-notch." Remember to echo: "But the biggest problem now is that The Shy reached level 2 in the first wave of soldiers, suppressing Tian Ge's level the whole time. No matter how strong Tian Ge is in the laning phase, he can only ensure that there are no problems himself, and he has no spare energy to reverse the situation."

"After using both EQ skills, The Shy directly crossed the line and pressed the enemy. Ning was also moving towards the upper half. Although Karsa was nearby, there was no chance of winning in a 2v2."

"Prince's EQ is too easy to dodge in this level of confrontation." Wang Duoduo analyzed: "Ning is almost there, Tian Ge took the initiative to pull back and leave IG's field of vision... Rookie launched another offensive in the middle lane, and beat Scout to low health with one set. Scout had to go back to the fountain for supplies!"

After barely taking the tower damage, Scout retreated to the second tower and returned to the city.

At this time.

Ning walked out from the intersection of the upper jungle area and threw a Q [Rolling Barrel] at Scout, delaying Scout for more than ten seconds.

"Ning's pace in this game was very, very good. He helped three lanes in five minutes."

"First blood in the bottom lane, Tian Ge lost a minion in the top lane, and Scout was killed in the middle lane again."

Ze Yuan counted what IG got: "EDG exposed a biggest problem, that is, if they can maintain their advantage in the middle and bottom lanes, even in an evenly matched confrontation, the jungler can do a lot of things, but after falling into such a disadvantage, there is very little that the jungler can do."

Backstage lounge.

Abu, Maokai, Zzitai, and Ray who was waiting for skin on the bench were watching the live broadcast.

Even though they knew that Ye Tian was playing a trump card, the four of them still broke into cold sweats when they saw the situation was so unfavorable.

“Why do I feel like I can’t turn it around…”

Maokai frowned, "Ye Tian has no place to farm. He has one less wave of minions to last-hit than The Shy. At this pace, it will take at least 11-12 minutes to get to the Essence. By that time, the middle lane will be broken through."

"There's no way The Weapon can defeat Urgot. Urgot keeps switching skills one after another, and The Weapon can't defeat him." Ray analyzed in human language.

"No, there is a chance." The factory manager's awareness is still excellent: "Just now Ye Tian was forced out of the experience area, and when Haoxuan was beating the toad, he jumped over. He should have gained experience from the wild monsters, and he can grab level 6 when the soldiers push back."

"Brother Tian has only taken one layer of potion so far, and there are still two layers!" Ray's eyes lit up after hearing what the factory manager said.

On the field.

Ye Tian is planning a counterattack.

Just as the factory manager said, Ye Tian gained the experience of the Frog in order to reach level 6 and launch a set of attacks. As long as this set of attacks can hit The Shy, it will be enough to make up for the disadvantage in the early stage with some profit.

The first step of counterattack is to use the attack of the defense tower to push back the line of soldiers, then control the health of the soldiers, and then use the bushes to block the vision, so as to prevent The shy from discovering the time when he has reached level five.

Using this method to hide the experience of a small soldier, Ye Tian took the second layer of corruption potion and used positioning and [Counter Storm] to fight against The shy, preventing The shy from being distracted and thinking about other issues.

The ninth wave of soldiers with the cannon line pressed forward. Ye Tian pretended to retreat to let The shy relax his vigilance.

If a single laner eats up the first eight waves of soldiers and then the first two melee soldiers in the ninth wave, he can reach level six. However, from The shy's perspective, Ye Tian was forced back by Ning during the skill CD, so he did not eat up the first eight waves of soldiers.

That being the case.

Ye Tian came up just to finish off the enemy.

So, The shy attacked Ye Tian with an A, using the most common basic attack to force the E technique.

"coming!"

Ye Tian's mental state became more tense.

Activate [Counterattack Storm] and swing the stick at the melee soldier with low health.

At this time, the attacks of the artillery vehicle and the ranged soldier are fired together, locking onto another melee soldier with low health. As long as this round of attack hits, the melee soldier will be knocked down.

this moment.

Ye Tian quickly pressed the Corruption Potion and Q [Jump Slash] to avoid the explosion area of ​​[Corrosive Charge] and killed The shy in the face!

The shy subconsciously used E [Disdain] to charge forward, forming a control offset, and threw Ye Tian behind him. As soon as he threw it, The shy's face changed.

Before the Weapon Master even stepped onto the ground, a blue ribbon-like upgrade light effect lit up on his body. The number in front of his health bar changed from [5] to a glaring [6]. As he stood still, golden energy ripples appeared around him!

R [Grandmaster's Power] is activated!
Improved double resistance!

Passive effect allows the third normal attack to add extra magic damage!

One stick!

One stick!

Another stick!

After three consecutive hits, Urgot had just walked back to the tower when he was hit by the fourth hit from the Master Yi.

After exchanging controls and chasing all the way, nearly 7 seconds passed. Ye Tian waited for a while outside the defense tower, and used Q [Jump Slash] one second later to kill The shy in the face!

The shy flashed to the innermost side of the defensive tower without hesitation, preventing Ye Tian from launching his passive burst damage of AW+R. If Ye Tian flashed up and killed him head-on, he would not be able to leave the tower and would only have a one-on-one exchange with The shy.

In this regard.

Ye Tian is not greedy either.

It's very profitable to use the ultimate to exchange for flash.

Force The shy to flash and then turn around and move away.

【7777777】

[Where is the person who just said that Brother Tian is not good? Did he get slapped in the face? Brother Tian stood up so quickly]

[If you use poor skills this time, you will have a chance to kill next time]

[Is Tongtiandai kidding you? What kind of disadvantage can't Brother Tian overcome? 】

[It is probably because the other players in EDG are not bad this year, which gives us an illusion. In fact, Tian Ge can still be the C with four accessories.]

[Indeed, last year’s 1v9 had a % win rate]

[That's not right. Why is The Shy stuck at a certain level? At his level, experience shouldn't be counted.]

[You must have been dragged too far by Brother Tian. Brother Tian is not passively resisting pressure. He has been looking for opportunities to exchange blood with The shy]

[Did you guys not notice that Tiange jumped over the jungle? He must have eaten the jungle, or The shy was the first to level up]

There was a lot of talent in the audience.

After discussing for a while, someone soon came up with the truth.

At this time.

The official director also discovered the reason and broadcast the scene where Ye Tian moved away and ate the Magic Swamp Frog separately.

"I see. Brother Tian also gained extra experience."

"The shy was caught off guard."

I remember that I finally understood: "Brother Tian is now 11 CS behind, but The Shy doesn't dare to come up to eat this wave of soldiers. After the soldiers are consumed, Brother Tian will only be six or seven behind... Send the line into the tower, go to the river to eat the fruit and the Swift Crab together, and you can also push to the top lane!"

"If The Shy doesn't use Teleport, he will lose soldiers again." Wang Duoduo saw it clearly: "But this Teleport is really hard to use. He was just forced to flash, and there is a skill gap. If he uses Teleport, Prince will bring level 6 Galio to the top lane and it will be difficult for other IG players to protect him in time, so The Shy must hold the Teleport to make mistakes."

"In this way, Brother Tian will surpass him in last hits." Ze Yuan compared the data and was suddenly stunned: "Huh? What equipment did Brother Tian buy first? Why did he buy a Storm Sword first?!"

Following the words of the commentary.

Countless question marks appeared on the screen.

From the information bar below, we can see that the first time the Weapon Master returned home, he bought a Storm Sword + Longsword. This kind of equipment route has never been seen before, let alone in the competition, even in the Rank with countless fantastic ideas.

【what? 】

【What is Brother Tian going to do? 】

[I didn’t buy the wrong one, right? There is no equipment suitable for the Storm Sword later.]

[Can I use the Bloodthirster to ensure endurance? ]

[What's the use of Bloodthirster? The weapon is mixed damage, and Bloodthirster is AD bloodsucking, which can only suck a small half. If you want endurance, you should buy a high-tech gun.]

[That’s right, the weapon doesn’t even include Greed, only the Giant Hydra, how can it be a Bloodthirster?]

Side of the stage.

When the young IG players saw Ye Tian’s equipment, they were just as confused as Louis XVI.

"What on earth is Ye Tian going to do?"

"You're playing Weapon as an AD hero?"

Rookie was puzzled, and his Mandarin with a kebab flavor popped up again: "What are the advantages of AD weapons over traditional weapons? Even if you use crit equipment, the damage will not be as good as Tri-Phase, right?"

"AD weapons are useless, they are just given for free." Ning was very sure: "I have tried critical weapons, but they can't beat heroes with high armor. Besides, Infinity Edge doesn't increase critical strike now. By the time it is completed, the base will be destroyed."

"Don't worry about him." Baolan had the same opinion: "I use W and Q, he can't get in at all. If he doesn't have defensive equipment, he can be killed instantly."

"Brother Lan, just use Q directly, don't use W, W is easy to dodge." JackeyLove suggested: "As long as you use Q to get him, I can use my ultimate, and my ultimate will control him and he will have no room to operate."

"Okay, next time I'll just use Q. Even if he dodges, I can still follow up with W." Baolan learned from the experience and lessons of the first game.

Others agree.

The shy, who is the top laner like Ye Tian and whose strength is closest to other players, doesn’t feel that simple.

But The shy didn’t speak Chinese very well, and couldn’t express his thoughts accurately. He could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, buy cloth shoes + long sword, and go to the top lane to fight against Ye Tian.

this time.

The shy still has an advantage.

The armor and damage reduction provided by cloth shoes can effectively restrain Weapon Master who produces AD equipment.

The two swords, one long and one short, only provide attack power, without any tankiness or functionality, and their compatibility with the weapon master may not even reach the passing line. It seems that 1650 gold coins were spent, and the actual combat value is only about one thousand yuan.

In addition, the Master Yi has no ultimate skill, and Urgot is in a position to kill him, so even though the Master Yi has gained the double advantages in level and economy, he still has to avoid Urgot like at the beginning, and dares not take any more damage.

Ning saw that The shy didn't need help, so he went to the bottom half and got the first fire dragon.

The second one...is still a fire dragon!
Varus, who got the first blood, was slightly better than the policewoman in the laning phase, so much so that IG's bottom lane outer tower was close to full durability.

When the second fire dragon spawns, IG has buildings to rely on and can occupy advantageous terrain. They can also call over an Urgot who can make a black cleaver to help the double AD reduce the opponent's armor! (End of this chapter)
