I'm the chef in T1. The fatter Li Ge is, the stronger I am.

Chapter 144: The Godfather of Jungle is worthy of his reputation! The new hero's debut is stunning!

"Game start!"

"In the first game, our TOP1 team chose the red side. Coach kkoma still likes to let Emolove take the red side!"

Wang Duoduo said jokingly.

No matter what version.

The blue team's natural terrain advantage means that the red team is at a disadvantage. When facing matches between teams with a huge gap in strength, the combination of these advantages and disadvantages is enough to easily determine the outcome of the match.

When facing a match between teams of similar strength, the inherent advantages of the blue team can also help the team.

But only.

The team Wang Yu is in can break this balance!
The godly move brought by the fifth-floor counter of the red team allowed the blue team's winning rate to remain at around 50%!

And before that.

According to the statistics.

The blue team’s winning rate has been around 55%!

This 5% winning rate may seem small, but it is extremely important in many life-and-death situations!
"The first ban! ROX respects Emolove very much and directly banned Nidalee!"

"The top spot went to Rat. Although Imp has the Rat Champion skin, Pray is the Rat King!"

Although Wang Yu rarely uses the Nidalee jungler who had a 7% win rate last year in the S season.

Available this year's edition.

It’s not that Leopard Woman can’t appear again.

The coaches of both teams are very familiar with the core players of each other's team.

BP speed is very fast.

In the blink of an eye.

The first three ban positions have been determined.

Blue side ROX ban: Nidalee, Kalista, Kog'Maw

Red team top 1 ban: Rat, Karma, Lulu

Perhaps because they felt that three ban slots were not enough last year, Riot added two more ban slots this year, which undoubtedly brought more variables to the BP stage before the game starts.

"What will ROX pick as their first pick? I feel like they should pick a jungler first, right? Ever since Emolove returned to the LPL, Peanut is now the jungler king of LCK. He should have the confidence to pick a jungler as his first pick, right?" Miller said with a smile.

But the fact is that ROX struggled for a long time and finally brought out Crocodile, the line-dominant top laner.

A lot can be seen from the top lane.

First of all.

Smeb has been pushed to the sacrificial position by the team.

Under the premise that Jayce, Kennen and even Fiora are still out of the game, it is undoubtedly an unwise choice to bring out Crocodile first.

But ROX chose to do this.

The only possibility is that Peanut doesn’t dare to choose the jungler before Wang Yuliang’s jungle hero!
It's TOP1's turn to choose a hero.

It was almost a second choice.

A strange avatar appeared on the first floor.

moment!

The whole scene was boiling!

Wang Duoduo even yelled out loud: "Salvin! Oh my god! Is Duke so confident?! He wants to use Salvin to fight against Crocodile!"

"As a new hero that was released at the end of last year, Shen has now firmly occupied the position of the top lane overlord. His passive shield effect is very advantageous whether he is against a physical top laner or a mage top laner." Guan Zeyuan explained simply.

Although that is what is said.

But it is still relatively easy for Crocodile to face off against Shen.

After all, Red Rage Q is AOE damage.

If Shen wants to activate his passive shield, he must walk over and attack the crocodile.

If it's pulled well.

It is no problem for Crocodile to take down half of Shen's health when he is at full health.

and
With the changes to Rift Herald.

Nowadays, the environment in the top lane is more inclined to laning. If Crocodile uses the summoner skills of flash + ignite, it is even possible to kill directly out of the lane.

Not to mention.

ROX hasn't taken out the spider yet!
"How about giving me Lucian first?"

Seeing that Wang Yu didn't speak for a long time.

imp thought his good brother was worried that this lineup would be discovered in advance.

For coaches.

The choice of the first and second floors can basically determine the overall layout.

Only sending out top laners but not junglers means there is something wrong.

"Okay, Lucian is a good choice. Nofe will definitely not guess it." kkoma nodded slightly, helping Wang Yu make the decision.

It's ROX's turn to choose.

The second floor took a policewoman who had an advantage in the early laning phase, and the third floor considerately took Braum away, preventing the Lucian + Braum duo, who could control the opponent in seconds, from appearing in the same team in the bottom lane.

Go back to TOP1 again to make your selection.

third floor.

Xiye took out the hero that mid-lane players must know—Enchantress!

This assassin AP mid laner was directly promoted to the T0 level after a fresh rework. Although his playing style is no longer as mindless and easy as before, his wave-clearing ability has been greatly improved, which can be regarded as a disguised strengthening.

After selecting the players, we enter the second stage of BP.

Without saying a word, kkoma banned Spider, who had not yet appeared on the stage, and then banned Miss Fortune's good partner Jyra.

nofe first banned Lucian's best partner Nami, and then banned Wang Yu, the jungler with the highest usage rate of Lee Sin in this MSI.

Back to lineup selection.

Fourth floor.

imp asked.

Ming finally chose to use Thresh to cooperate with Lucian.

It's ROX's turn to choose a hero.

Another hero portrait that is almost impossible to appear in the camera lights up.

"Wow!!!" Wawa shouted, his tone revealing disbelief: "Kunkun! Can Peanut also play this kind of herbivorous jungler?"

Green God!

This jungle hero, who was criticized by players as useless right after his debut and almost had the lowest appearance rate, suddenly appeared on the final stage.

It’s said that ROX didn’t use any ultimate moves.

I definitely don’t believe their explanations!

only.
Green God + Crocodile?

Can these two extreme top-jungle combinations really work together?
"It's time for the fifth floor to send out the mid laner, right? We need to make up for the AP damage! Oh~ Kuro chose to use Syndra to fight against LeBlanc!"

As ROX's lineup was finalized, Wang Duoduo immediately turned his attention to TOP1.

He was looking forward to it.

What kind of jungle hero should the TOP1 fifth-floor count position use to bring about the surprise that Wang Yu mentioned!

however!
The moment the avatar on the fifth floor lights up.

Countless people were confused.

"Gargalio?" Wang Duoduo couldn't help but question: "Can this hero really play as a jungler?"

"It's hard to say. The ID on his head is Emolove! Last year, there were so many people who questioned Emolove that his face was swollen as if he had been beaten up."

How dare the clever Doll and Miller comment?

They are now waiting for the game to enter the loading screen, only then will they know what the final TOP1 lineup will be.

soon.

The lineups for both teams have been determined.

The hero portrait keeps moving.

The answer won’t be revealed until the countdown ends!
Blue side ROX:

Top lane - Crocodile
Jungle - Green God
Mid laner - Syndra

ADC——Policewoman
Support - Braum
Red side TOP1:

Top lane - Galio

Jungler - Shen

Mid Lane - LeBron James
ADC – Lucian

Support - Thresh
"What the hell? Shen as a jungler?"

Nofe frowned.

The panic he felt when facing Emolove washed over him again.

Nofe, who won the Spring Championship by beating SKT and SSG this year, felt as if he was back to last year's World Finals facing the terrifying SKT.

“Can this hero play jungle?”

While it's still early.

nofe hurriedly asked peanut.

"It's possible, but the speed of clearing the jungle is too slow, and it basically lacks a passive when clearing the jungle, which is very harmful."

Peanut has made up his mind to follow Wang Yu's path.

Nature.

When Shen came online, he took it out and practiced it many times in Rank.

But in the end.
Peanut thinks that Shen is more suitable for laning. Using him in the jungle not only has no effect, but is even a bit of a waste.

How to determine whether a hero can appear in the jungle position?
Very simple.

Either they have powerful ganking capabilities, or they are extremely efficient in clearing the jungle.

pity.

Shen doesn't have these two requirements!

Although the Q skill can reset normal attacks, there is no means of recovery, and the passive shield cannot be triggered by wild monsters.

One and a half areas have been cleared.

Even if a jungler with full skills uses Shen, it is difficult for him to maintain a good condition for ganking.

If you have to say what the advantages are.

That is the powerful charge of the E skill and the ultimate skill that automatically tracks the enemy and divides the battlefield.

and many more!

Big move?

Nofe, who had been urged to leave by the referee, walked out and shouted to the players, "Be careful of the combination of Galio and Shen's ultimates!"

"Another ultimate combo?"

Smeb had a bad feeling and cried out that he had been fooled.

He was already prepared for a 1v1 man-to-man duel with Duke.

But what the coach said just now clearly meant that Galio would definitely cooperate with Shen!
Often, if one team intends to coordinate between the top and jungle, then one of the top and jungle of the other team will definitely suffer.

"It's okay, brother! I am the Green God and I can protect you!" Peanut seemed to be in a good mood.

He practiced hard to play a hero like Empyrean, whose playing style was completely different from his own, just to give his idol a surprise when he met him again.

only.

I didn't expect peanut either.

The idol also gave himself a surprise.

Shen is a jungler!
This is the first time that Shen has appeared in the jungle position in the game so far!

[Perhaps Emolove was not affected by the new version in the spring season, but he simply wanted to make the new players in the team more visible! ]

This thought suddenly popped up in Wang Duoduo's mind!
This is the only possible explanation.

Why did TOP1 encounter so many bumps along the way, but still won the game smoothly in the end and maintained a winning streak?

"The first game of the MSI finals has officially begun!"

As the commentators from each region started speaking.

Inside the venue.

Countless fans immediately raised their cheering signs and cheered for the team and even the players they supported without reservation.

And in the canyon.

Ten have arrived.

Before the light curtain completely dissipated, the game screen suddenly turned gray.

Even Wang Duoduo, who had been brewing his emotions for a long time, couldn't help but let out an "eh".

"Haha. It seems like there was a little accident at the scene. The game was suspended." The experienced Guan Zeyuan immediately started to liven up the atmosphere: "Speaking of which, this year's MSI was indeed a bit bumpy. Players would call for a pause every now and then."

"Good things take time! I just don't know which player took the initiative to call for the timeout." Wang Duoduo was a little worried.

The game was suspended before it even started.

If both teams start the game normally, it wouldn't matter much. But if one team wants to use some tricks at the beginning, the players might guess it during the pause, so that the trick cannot be deployed or is countered.

The pause was short.

Not even a minute.

soon.

The game returned to normal again.

After the five-second countdown ends.

The light curtain dispersed.

The five people from both sides who were staying at the edge of the fountain rushed out of the base one after another.

"The pause just now was because Pray reported to the referee that there was a problem with his peripherals. He changed the peripherals and everything was fine."

Guan Zeyuan gave a brief explanation and then turned his attention to the game.

There is no first-level regiment.

Both sides were standing very conservatively, and no one dared to team up to invade the opponent's jungle area.

"I'm going to use the speed 2 strategy. You guys can all play more aggressively in the early stages. I'll gank based on the situation."

Wang Yu said this while observing the positions of his teammates.

among them.

He watched Galio's movements the longest.

After all, the crocodile is not very strong at level 1, and there is a high probability that he will ambush in one of the bushes and use a small combo of A+W on Galio who is poking his head into the bush.

But Duke is not a rookie. He used the Q skill to explore the bushes before the minion line arrived. He had already occupied the first bush in the upper lane and was preparing to launch an attack on the second bush.

It seemed that there was no possibility of a level one group fight.

The four commentators then turned their attention to the rune talents of both sides.

Unfortunately.

The rune talents of the ten players were all normal. Even the crocodile who originally wanted to use Ignite to fight in the laning phase, was worried that he would be targeted without thinking, and finally chose Flash + Teleport.

"Pinat!! What is he doing!?"

The doll suddenly started screaming in shock.

at this time.

Cui Shen, who was originally preparing to go solo at the red BUFF, suddenly walked to the upper jungle area and stayed at the blue BUFF waiting for the wild monsters to refresh.

The passive ability of Emerald Green can be said to be the fastest jungle clearing speed in the entire league, no doubt about it!

If this wave of Green God starts in the upper jungle area.

It is very likely that you will finish sowing and start harvesting, and then just happen to run into Shen who will activate the red buff and quickly catch him!

Even if the level 3 Emerald God doesn't have the fighting power to keep Shen, he can easily save Crocodile's life and interrupt Shen's early rhythm.

"It's over! Pinate's clever move to go solo in the jungle is likely to bring huge trouble to Emolove!" Wang Duoduo muttered.

in the lens.

Crocodile and Galio have begun a passionate exchange of blood.

Relying on the fact that he is an AP mage.

Galio, who easily gained the health advantage with a QA combo, was not at all excited. He stood next to the mage soldier with his arms folded across his chest, staring at the crocodile.

The crocodile, which has used its Q skill and has no anger left, can only return to its own soldiers in shame and slowly accumulate anger.

"This Shen must be a level 2 gank! Wanghu, come and counter-camp!"

Seeing Galio behave like this, Smeb became more certain of his idea.

just.

Different from last year.

Peanut has grown a lot this year and has his own ideas.

"Brother, you better be careful. I have a feeling he won't go on the road."

While talking.

He reached level three while collecting the enemies, and then went to the middle lane to counter-camp!

That's right!

Peanut chose to counter-camp in the middle lane instead of going to the top lane where he was already at a slight disadvantage to protect the crocodile.

This choice is very bold.

But the four LPL commentators who had a bird's eye view were panicked.

"You can't go up! Emolove, don't worry! You can't go up this wave! The Emerald God is behind Syndra!"

on the screen.

After clearing the red buff and reaching level 2, Shen is now clinging to the wall, as if he could use his E skill to rush in front of Syndra at any time.

It’s different from the situation on the road.

Syndra's damage in the early game is very high, and with the control of Emerald Green, she can easily kill Shen who does not have the E skill.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's how you counter-gank! Wow~ It feels like Peanut's strength has changed dramatically since he played in the World Championship!"

I saw that Emerald God guessed the movements of the Blue Steel Shadow with incredible accuracy.

The LCK commentators can almost be said to have opened the champagne in advance.

however.

What happened next.

But it shocked everyone!
Knowing that she had someone protecting her from behind, Syndra was very aggressive. She deliberately took the diffusion mark of Leblanc and entered the game to lure Leblanc into a trap.

Xiye, who lacked experience in major competitions, simply thought that the opponent's mid laner made a positioning mistake.

He is very decisive.

Start with flash, use W skill to move forward and deal damage, kill the soldiers around Syndra, upgrade to level 3 and trigger the passive second damage!
In order to be able to kill Syndra 100%.

Xiye used Flash immediately and used his E skill to hit the opponent accurately at close range!
And at the same time.

Shen behind the wall at the corner of the river also used his E skill.

only.

Even if there are enemies within range, the E skill's ricochet distance is doubled.

Shen was also unable to knock Syndra unconscious.

The control effect is not important.

Because LeBlanc used flash first, no matter how Syndra used flash or at what angle, she couldn't break free from the chains.

but.
Most of Shen's early output methods come from the basic attack reset of the Q skill and the attack speed bonus of the E skill.

There is no way to make up for the output in the first time.

Syndra can easily survive this gank by using a QE to knock back and stun the opponent.

"Is it coming?"

Countless spectators and commentators held their breath.

The Emerald God behind Syndra has started moving, waiting for Shen to use E to create the fog of war.

One second later.

The blue steel shadow hanging on the wall suddenly left a bright golden light where it stood.

Immediately after
The Steel Shadow suddenly appeared on Syndra's face!
That tiny bit of knockback effect can be completely ignored.

The ID above Syndra's head also changed from [ROX-Kuro] to [Dizzy]!
More importantly!

This wave of operations was incomprehensible to everyone.

Emerald predicted that Q would not trap Shen, but instead trapped Leblanc behind Shen in place!

Shuttle flash!
E flash E!

The result of coincidence and strength.

Without any restrictions, Shen performed a scissor kick and used AQA to deal thunder damage in just one second, taking the kill.

【first drop of blood! 】

'Just enough'.

With the death of Sindra.

The three players in the middle chose to stop fighting tacitly.

Due to taking down three groups of wild monsters in a short period of time, his health was only about 50%. Emerald God did not dare to continue casting magic on the three groups of wild monsters in the lower half. He could only take medicine while protecting "Carrot" to prevent Shen from counter-jungling.

Look, the battle is over.

The director quickly brought up the replay.

In 0.5x slow motion footage.

The audience clearly saw Shen's E skill hook the wall, and then he activated the second stage of E the moment he flashed.

The hint of doubling the range is obvious.

Emerald's Q skill just passed by the rapidly approaching Syndra's Shen, which created a visual illusion and made everyone think that Shen's E flash was an extremely difficult shuttle flash!
But nevertheless.

Wang Yu's E flash E operation also opened everyone's eyes!

"Although I guessed that Kuro would die at the hands of Emolove, I didn't expect him to die in this way!"

Wang Duoduo seemed to be complaining, but his tone was very happy.

But what really surprised the LPL audience and commentators was yet to come!

I saw Shen walking to the lower area, and suddenly turned back to the top lane!
