Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Players who often watch the game know that the outer towers on the side lanes are actually dispensable.

Unless a truly all-out crushing victory is achieved, preventing the opponent from organizing any counterattack, the outer buildings on the edge will not be defended at all. Even a team that cannot compete for the vanguard or grab the dragon can easily attack the outer towers on the side lanes.

The situation is different with the middle lane outer tower.

It is no exaggeration to say that the strategic position of the middle lane outer tower is much higher than that of the second tower on the side lane.

The middle lane outer tower was lost.

First, it affects the wild monster resources that provide economic and combat power at the F6 camp and the red BUFF, which is then related to the combat power of the mid-jungle duo and the support for the side lanes. What follows is a one-stop package of being killed and having the side towers destroyed.

more importantly.

In this game, G2 didn't even need to take high-risk actions such as force killing. They just needed to follow the steps to ensure the steady development of the side lanes and use a blunt knife to cut the meat to maximize the snowball.

Not offensive.

It means that the flaw is extremely small.

After returning to the city for supplies, Ye Tian came to the middle lane to fight Doinb. Caps controlled the Tristana to rush to the top lane and continued to attack GimGoon.

This time.

FPX is completely numb.

In order to fight against Ye Tian, ​​GimGoon spent 450 gold coins to buy an anti-magic cloak. Although the price was not high, it directly affected the synthesis of subsequent equipment.

In addition, there is a level and a half gap between GimGoon and Caps. Even if Shen's attributes are slightly higher than Tristana, he is no match for Tristana in a 1v1 confrontation.

Use the ultimate skill to cooperate with the jungler to GANK?

Not to mention that after Tristana's R [Devastating Shot] is ready, it can push Shen out of the stance range of [Hextech Ultimatum], and then use W [Rocket Jump] to offset Lee Sin's [Dragon's Tail].

Even if Tristana is really captured by Shen + Lee Sin or Kled, what’s the point?

Kill a cannon and eat two layers of plating?
During this period, how much will FPX lose in the middle and bottom lanes?

"After Tian Ge cleared the minion line, he moved down and stole a [Hero Appearance] from Galio."

“FPX is in such a difficult situation.”

Ze Yuan made a comparison: "Doinb needs to walk half the distance before he can use his ultimate to run down, while Tian Ge only needs to go through the river grass to fly down with his ultimate. FPX moved Galio from the top lane to the support position, which just paved the way for G2's top and mid lane swap."

"I said it when we were selecting the players. FPX's ultimates in this game were too good." Miller repeated the old words: "Look at the three times Tian Ge stole. First, he used Shen's ultimate to kill someone, then he used Kled's ultimate to gank the midfield and destroy the tower, and then he stole Galio's ultimate to cover the entire map."

"When we need to fight in a team, steal Lee Sin's ultimate and you might be able to kill several people with one kick."

"FPX doesn't know how to play now!" Wawa sighed with support for the LPL region.

It can be seen from the images captured by the camera.

Gao Tianliang, who was full of cheerfulness during the quarterfinals and semifinals, now had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Jin Gong, who is always hot-tempered, doesn't even bother to be Xiba.

Doinb, who always chatters during live broadcasts and dominates his teammates by verbally repeating all the important skills and typing on the public screen, fell into silence, which was rare in this game. He had no idea what to say.

It’s not that the FPX players are not mentally strong enough.

Instead, for two consecutive games, the established system was torn to pieces by G2, or to be more precise, by Ye Tian alone, without even a basis for action.

to be honest.

No matter how I play, I can't do anything. I have no idea how to win.

"Catch it, catch it."

"I don't believe we can't catch him!"

Liu Qingsong was once again hit by the ricochet attack caused by Syndra's soldiers, and his health bar dropped below one-third, forcing him to return to the fountain for replenishment.

His eyes swept across the audience.

He marked Silas viciously.

Judging from historical performance, targeting Ye Tian is definitely not a smart move.

FPX refused to believe in evil in the first game, and both the top and jungle players exploded.

In the second game, the Shen in the top lane was almost eliminated. If G2 did not have more important strategic goals, GimGoon would have been hanging in the bush playing with his phone by now.

but.

At this point, what else can FPX do?

Catch?

No ability.

Catch it?

no point.

He was in a desperate situation with no choice. There was basically a titanium alloy wall in front of him, and Liu Qingsong had to try to see if he could tear it apart.

"wait for me."

"I'll upgrade the jungle knife first."

When Gao Tianliang heard the voices of his teammates, it was like catching a ray of light in the darkness.

"Okay." Liu Qingsong nodded: "I'll go back to the bottom lane and show my head, then fly into the jungle and head to the middle lane to deal with him together!"

The third-level knife is of great significance to jungle heroes.

Take the Warrior enchantment as an example.

Caulfield's hammer only has 20 attack power, but after upgrading with 525 gold coins, the attack power will increase to 60 points, which will bring about a qualitative change in the damage level.

Gao Tianliang has a level 2 knife + warhammer + money for synthesis on him, so he must make the equipment first before starting.

but.

When Liu Qingsong walked between the second tower and the outer tower, a Spider Queen emerged from the bushes in the jungle.

Jankos has been waiting for a long time on the road!
[Cocoon] hits, and after casting QW in human form, switch to spider form, QAW burst to full, and one set of moves reduces the health of Si Shao who has just recovered to half again!

at the same time.

A giant magic circle appeared with the spider at its center.

Sylas used the stolen [Hero's Appearance] to cross half of the Summoner's Rift and kill the real Galio!
boom--

The enhanced stone statue fell from the sky, and the shock wave spread out 360 degrees.

Liu Qingsong broke free from the control and tried to use Flash + E [Justice Punch] to escape, but Galio's [Justice Punch] did not have the unstoppable special effect and was shaken up by the shock wave in the middle.

"Bring it to you!"

Ye Tian joked.

E [Sneak + Kidnapping] pull in, and release Q [Chain Whip] at the same time.

When [Abduct] rushed to Galio, the normal attack with [Break the Enemy's Forbidden Spell] swung the chain, and the whip intersection point burst out magical energy, sending Galio, who had just walked out of the fountain, back again.

Killing Spree!

Massive killing!

"With Liu Qingsong gone, I'm afraid LWX won't be able to leave either."

Miller's voice was tense: "Kled and Lee Sin rushed down together, and Gongzi forced TP to protect... but was interrupted by Caps entering the tower!"

"It was Caps in the last round, and it's him again in this round." Wawa called out the name directly.

From the split screen that the director switched to, we can see that Tristana first went in to look for someone despite the damage from the defense tower, but when she didn't find Shen, she used W [Rocket Jump] to blindly jump into the triangle bush. Then she used Q to speed up and hit EAAARA for six hits.

[Devastating Shot] is used to infer the reading of Shen's attack, and the subsequent normal attack refreshes [Rocket Jump], which jumps over the wall into the river and sails away.

"Caps is so stable."

"He could have killed GimGoon alone, but he didn't chase after him."

Ze Yuan praised: "Given G2's current advantage, there is really no need for Caps to take risks. This kind of discipline is normal for LCK and LPL players, but Caps is a European player."

"Caps didn't try to steal the limelight, and just treated himself as a tool." Miller said with emotion: "Gongzi's TP was cut off, and there was no suspense in the bottom lane. Doinb couldn't rush alone."

"The soldiers are entering the tower. LWX can't resist G2's four heroes."

Xia uses [Storm Feather Blade] + [Hook] to avoid the integrated counter-control skill combination?
Useless!

Syndra threw the soldier targeted by [Kill Two Birds with One Stone] towards Xayah's face, triggering a guaranteed critical hit and triple the damage of the lead bullet, which took away half of Xayah's health.

Five balls of [Energy Outpouring] followed closely and formed a lock.

In the desperate situation, Da Congming suddenly had an idea and decided not to use his skills and give the kill to Syndra.

Unfortunately.

As an AD player, Da Congming was unable to accurately calculate the damage value of the auxiliary Syndra. After resisting a set of skills and not dying, he was just taken away by Sylas' next [Chain Whip].

Rampage!

Close to rampage!

Silas got four kills in a row, and the dark seal he bought at the beginning was stacked to the eighth level!
【G2——】

【G2——】

【G2——】

Deafening cheers rang out again in the Paris Arena.

"If we say that in the previous games, G2 showed extreme heroism, in these two games, G2 showed the team tacit understanding they had developed during the World Championship."

"The five players on the field are like a whole, and everyone is indispensable."

Drakos was clearly trying to flatter the European division: "Let's see if we should take down the lower tower. G2 just used a skill. If we don't take down the tower, we might face a counterattack from FPX... Oh? Still not taking it down? In the end, we only had a few hundred points of health left."

"No need to tear it down, as long as Sylas and Elise occupy the G2 jungle area." Caedrel concluded with his identity as a former professional player: "You see, FPX's bottom lane doesn't dare to come back, and chooses to force a switch to the top lane. In this way, the bottom lane will lose a large wave of soldiers."

"FPX's every move is a sacrifice of flesh." Teamfight commentator Medic commented: "In Eastern terms, it is called sacrificing the car to save the king. It is a tactic that is forced to do so. But there is one question I don't understand - which hero is FPX's car, and which hero is FPX's king."

Logically speaking.

FPX took out a lineup of Shen + Lee Sin + Kled + Xayah + Galio, and the first thing they had to do was to carry out a GANK operation with Shen as the fulcrum.

Then, with the support capabilities of Kled and Galio, he took control of the entire game.

After the advantage accumulates to a certain level, let Shen go to the side lane to split push and engage the enemy, while Kled + Galio rush up to start a team fight, and Xayah only needs to act as a tool to make up for the damage and just stay alive.

In other words.

Xayah is actually positioned as a [chariot]. If FPX wants to win the game, they must let Shen and Kled perform.

result.

Shen was moved to the bottom lane and couldn't get any development.

Kled was ridden on the face by Sylas in the middle lane, and experienced a combination of chains, imprisonment, whipping, stabbing, and NTR (ultimate) firsthand.

Xia went to the top lane to take the safety line.

how?

The one who plays Xayah is the best ADC in the world?
“I can only say that the FPX players were stunned.”

Caedrel recalled: "When we were beaten, we also made a lot of unreasonable actions, especially Tian, ​​who didn't even read the book. The second thing he did was to make Zhonya's hourglass. FPX couldn't find a breakthrough point."

Ye Tian is not the only one making the hourglass.

Jankos's entire set of combos and basic attacks can only deal half the damage to the support Galio, because he made a Slag Jungle Knife to increase the health of the player.

G2 is a combination of double AD + support Syndra, lacking front-line heroes. Even if they have an advantage in equipment, there is a possibility of being defeated by Kled + Shen with Galio.

To avoid this, Ye Tian and Jankos must be able to resist and fight.

They also need to accumulate advantages as quickly as possible to a level that FPX cannot resist.

After the second wind dragon died, the mark on the river bend wall remained unchanged, which means that the next one is still not a combat attribute that FPX needs to fight for. If G2 wants to achieve its goal in one battle, it must crush FPX in the Baron team battle.

A corner of the stage.

When Doinb saw that he had killed two wind dragons in a row, he felt relieved and calmed down a lot.

"Brothers, don't be anxious, really don't be anxious."

"Believe me."

"There is still a fight to be had in this one."

Doinb tried to make his voice firm and convincing: "We don't need to worry about the little dragon, we can let it go. We don't need to fight for the big dragon either, just let Gao Tianliang give it a try. If we can grab it, we will definitely make money, and if we can't grab it, we won't be defeated in a wave."

"They are just strong in laning and support, but not in teamfighting. It's a bit risky for us to proactively rush in to fight. If we don't proactively rush in, it's actually difficult for them to start a fight."

A few words were spoken.

It rekindled the FPX players' dying fighting spirit.

"Correct!"

"I can fight!"

GimGoon, as the oldest player, was the first to agree, whether he believed it or not: "I will go to the side lane to push the line, and they will have to defend. Two or three people can't catch me. If I carry the Baron over, they can't attack."

FPX has gone through the mental training in the group stage, and when they are only one step away from the Summoner's Cup, they certainly will not be depressed halfway.

Even Gao Tianliang, who was about to transform from cheerful to jade-like, had a gleam in his eyes again.

“We can apply pressure from the side.”

Liu Qingsong started thinking: "When they attack the big dragon, Spider will definitely be the one to carry it. Tristana and Miss Fortune are all outside. When the big dragon is about to die, we pretend to attack it to attract their attention, and then we can grab it. The success rate will be much higher."

"Yes, we can put pressure on them." Doinb nodded, "But we must not let them get caught. We are just putting pressure on them, not really fighting them. We don't have enough equipment at 20 minutes. We have to wait until 27 or 28 minutes to get three pieces of equipment before joining the team."

As the disadvantaged party.

FPX still couldn't get all its members to have two sets of equipment after 20 minutes.

On the other hand, G2 not only had no pressure in last-hitting during the laning phase, but also took 14 layers of plating and a large number of wild monsters. Tristana and Miss Fortune were able to get more than two items. It was not surprising that Sylas, who had four kills and bought cheap equipment, made three major items.

and.

G2’s Miss Fortune is an AD with her ultimate skill.

PFX's Xayah is a critical strike AD.

The gap in development and hero characteristics made it difficult for FPX to resist.

But after developing the three major items, Xia, who has the three necessary attributes of attack speed, critical strike, and armor penetration, can undergo a qualitative change. As long as FPX can withstand G2's first wave of offensive, the subsequent output will be enough to surpass G2.

Is Silas developing well?

Useless!

FPX did not have Lao Niu to provide damage reduction for Sylas in this game, and the seemingly practical ultimates were all functional in nature. No matter how well Sylas, as a mage hero, developed, he would only be a matter of seconds in front of Xayah who had the three major items.

As long as they can hold out against the Baron's enhanced BUFF and let GimGoon use the Blue Steel Shadow to pull the team back on the side, FPX will have a chance to pull off the most exaggerated ultimate comeback in this World Championship! (End of this chapter)
