I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 116-Unparalleled, decisive victory!
The LPL and LMS fans who had just relaxed became nervous again.

"We were still too careless. We really can't play a lane swap against SKT. They're too skilled."

"Blind guessing the laning phase is very difficult. Clockwork seems to be a good counter to Ryze. If a QR combo suddenly happens during laning, you'll be at a disadvantage whether you use Flash or not."

"Tristana's fast push, mid and jungle's perfect rhythm, this is the SKT that dominates the LCK!"

"Mylin is a completely freak hero. One E can destroy a tower by a third of its health. She's definitely going to be nerfed next year..."

"There's nothing Yuan Shen can do. Even if Crocodile kills Kennen alone, he still loses. What are his teammates doing?"

After the game ended, the audience, who had thought the final had lost its suspense, started discussing it again.

It's a pure crushing match, and it's really not very entertaining to watch.

Moreover, this is the final of the World Championship. There are absolutely no weaklings who can make it here!
No one knows who the final winner will be until the end of the game.

Many people say that if the two Samsung giants of S4 had not disbanded, they could have established a dynasty, known as "stars will never disperse, and they will always win the championship."

This statement is actually wrong.

The strength of professional teams and players is improving every year due to high-intensity confrontation and training, as well as version updates, and will only get stronger year by year.

The two Samsung giants in S4 were so dominant that they gave people the feeling that they were invincible until the game was shut down.

But in fact, the dominance of a team really depends entirely on the support of its peers. In the year of S4, except for the two giants of Samsung, the teams in other regions were completely clueless about the operating system and had only a vague understanding of it.

Feeling the way by feeling the stones is like a group of children learning fighting trying to challenge a fighting master.

But by S5, the operating system had already taken shape and everyone had become a fighting master.

The battle between fighting masters is a test of their best skills and their respective styles.

The strength of the Flash Wolves team is obviously not perfect enough to be invincible. In this World Championship, they have fallen into disadvantages several times. If Yuanshen had not stepped up to turn the tide, it would be impossible for them to win all the games until now.

This one exposed a lot of problems.

The most obvious problem is the mid-jungle problem.

Maple and Karsa have only played together for a year, and they are no match for the old duo of Faker and Bengi in terms of tacit understanding and collaboration.

In the lounge, Char Siu did not curse, but was rationally analyzing the opponent's strengths and why the rhythm of this game was so good.

If there was a mistake on which path or which operation, we need to pay attention to it again.

The team members nodded repeatedly, thinking about the shortcomings of the previous game.

As for SKT, Yuan Shen didn't think it would be so easy to crush them 3-0.

Since the draw for the quarterfinals, they have regarded SKT as their biggest opponent.

There is also the most research on SKT.

However, no matter how much research is done, it all comes down to laning and teamwork in the end.

Both sides are top teams, and they have fully understood the version of this World Championship. Everyone is at the highest point of the version, and it really depends on the players' on-the-spot performance.

Although they were well prepared for SKT's advantages, the Flash Wolves were still shocked when SKT truly demonstrated their teamwork ability.

Airtight, rigorous and orderly.

In terms of support and lane change speed, they are much happier than the Flash Wolves team as a whole.

"We can't play according to the usual draft and lineup anymore. We have to disrupt SKT's rhythm..."

"How about... try releasing Iron Man?"

Yuan Shen took a deep breath and looked at the barbecued pork.

……

Although they won a game, the situation only improved slightly for SKT.

They still had one foot outside the cliff.

Flash Wolves has three match points, and as long as they win one game, they can win the final championship.

In the LPL commentary booth, Lu Benwei looked solemn.

"Again, if SKT wants to trade lanes, Flash Wolves absolutely cannot easily force a lane swap with SKT. Their macro is simply too strong. Honestly, in the last game, Flash Wolves were completely outmatched in terms of teamwork. This time, whether they can properly utilize Yuanshen's unique laning ability in the top lane will be particularly important."

On the court, the fourth game of Banpick officially began.

In this game, SKT came to the blue side.

LCK viewers and commentators breathed a sigh of relief.

The blue side has a BP advantage. If SKT wins this game, they will be able to tie the score.

In the last game, they came back from 2-0 down to become a legend!
In the first two rounds, SKT banned Elise and Tam, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will still ban Fiora in the last round.

However, in the first two moves, Flash Wolves eliminated Tristana and Shen.

Iron Man and the Captain, both heroes are outside.

Kkoma thought about it and could only ban Iron Man.

He doesn't want to release this hero.

Bang doesn't know how to play, and he doesn't know whether the opponent can do it, but he doesn't dare to gamble.

"Damn! Ban again!"

Char Siu couldn't help but curse.

This is always the case.

The opponent banned Malphite on the red side, and when they finally got to the red side, the opponent still banned Malphite.

The ultimate move they practiced for so long was wasted just like that...

"The Sword Princess has been released..."

Yuan Shen's eyes lit up.

"Captain and Ryze, if one is banned..."

Char Siu was a little hesitant. If he wanted, he wanted to release both heroes.

"Ban the captain."

Yuan Shen didn't dare to bet whether Faker could become the captain.

But no matter what, as long as it is released, SKT will definitely grab it.

The third hand, the captain was banned.

In the end, SKT banned Spider, Tam, and Iron Man with three hands.

As for Flash Wolves, they banned Tristana, Shen, and Gangplank.

The unparalleled swordsman was released.

Ryze was also released.

SKT also realized that Yuan Shen's most confident Sword Princess was released.

"Should we grab Fiora first?" MaRin asked the coach.

"No, Flash Wolves will leave the counter position to Yuanshen in the fifth round. There is no need to rush to grab the top laner. Besides, even if we grab Fiora, it won't make much practical sense." Kkoma thought for a while and shook his head.

If it were any other top laner, kkoma would let MaRin lock down Fiora first.

Because they are confident that they can win the game even if the opponent conducts BP against the top laner.

But this Flash Wolves team is different. If their top laner gets fatter, the situation will get out of control.

"Let's take the heroes we want for other positions first."

As soon as he finished speaking, SKT locked down the blue bald guy on the first floor.

Wandering mage, Ryze!
On the other side, Flash Wolves directly locked down the excavator.

However, Flash Wolves' second choice was beyond SKT's expectations.

They knew that Flash Wolves would probably pick this hero, but they didn't expect that they would dare to bring it out so early.
“Precise and elegant!”

When the cold side of the Warrior Fiora was completely locked, for some reason, the LMS commentator's pessimistic mood suddenly faded.

It was as if this female swordsman with a rapier, once matched with Yuanshen's ID, had some kind of indescribable power... "Red team takes the top lane so early? Aren't Flash Wolves afraid of being targeted?"

Commentators from other regions did not have this complex and expressed objective and rational opinions.

“You are so confident!”

Kkoma smiled and shook his head.

The reason I banned Fiora before was not because I was afraid, but because it was unnecessary.

It doesn't matter if he releases it now, MaRin still has the crocodile to play with.

As expected, SKT on the second and third floors directly locked in the combination of Crocodile + Braum.

Braum is a hero that severely limits Fiora in teamfights, especially with his passive that stuns the enemy with four stacks of Mark. Fiora's W is simply unstoppable, and Crocodile, a lane-dominant player, is a no-brainer. In this patch, Crocodile is a 50-50 favorite against anyone. He also has an early advantage against Fiora. This is MaRin's signature hero at this World Championship.

Moreover, Yuan Shen has already demonstrated how Crocodile fights Fiora once.

The third and fourth floors of Flash Wolves locked in a stable bottom lane combination.

Sivir + Thresh.

The last counter position was left to the mid laner Maple.

SKT hesitated for quite a long time in their last two moves. The director seemed to notice the situation and immediately cut the camera over.

Soon, the audience saw Kkoma standing between his jungler and ADC player, communicating with the two of them at a rapid speed. Finally, he patted their shoulders as if to encourage them with a smile on his face.

Bengi and Bang took a deep breath and nodded, confirming their choice.

Lee Sin - Lee Sin.

Explorer-Ezreal.

The choice of these two heroes is no longer a version choice, but a choice of confidence and faith of the players.

Even other people's choices have a hint of leaving no regrets.

MaRin's Crocodile, Bengi's Lee Sin, Faker's Ryze, Bang's EZ...

In Flash Wolves' last move, after hesitating for a long time, they locked in the previous one, which Faker used to deal with Ryze's Clockwork.

Clockwork is a jack of all trades in the mid lane, and basically every world-class mid laner can play it, and Maple is no exception.

After the previous laning match, Maple found that this hero is indeed good at fighting against Ryze.

The lineups of both sides are finalized.

“FW Red Side:
Top laner Yuanshen: Wushuang Sword Princess - Fiona

Jungle Karsa: Void Burrower - Rek'Sai

Mid Single Maple: Clockwork-Orianna
Bottom Lane NL: Goddess of War - Sivir

Support SwordArt: Soul Chain Jailer - Thresh
SKT Blue Side:
Top laner MaRin: Desert Butcher - Renekton

Jungler Bengi: Lee Sin
Midlane EasyHoon: Wandering Mage - Ryze
Bottom Lane Bang: Explorer Ezreal
Support Wolf: Braum, the Heart of the Freljord."

As soon as the game started, I was nervous and my eyes never left the minimap.

"Make sure you get it right."

"Don't play a line-switching game..."

The lane-swapping tactic is truly a major toxic tactic in League of Legends games.

Once the lane swap is successful, the individual strengths of both top and bottom laners are completely lost, and the most exciting laning phase of the early game is quickly transitioned, becoming a testament to teamwork and coordination. Simultaneously, the roaming support abilities of the mid, jungle, and support are infinitely amplified.

90% of the audience cannot understand the operational collaboration of professional teams, and the viewing experience is extremely poor.

In order to limit the emergence of lane-swapping tactics, Riot later strengthened the importance of the first tower and the attributes of the early-stage defensive tower several times, and finally made this cancerous tactic disappear.

But even so, when Sion is chosen in the top lane, or the benefits of lane switching are greater than normal laning, lane switching will still appear.

In a nutshell, in a lane-switching game, it all depends on the team's rhythm.

The outcome of the competition between Flash Wolves and SKT in terms of teamwork ability was already clear in the last game.

Even if you can win, it is difficult to gain an advantage in the early stages.

Crocodile VS Fiora.

Judging from the hero matchups, SKT doesn't seem to need to switch lanes.

But after the situation in the previous game where Kennen had to change lanes to fight against Crocodile, SKT's decision to avoid fighting in the top lane was already obvious to everyone.

Everyone is paying attention to the line distribution in this game.

Fiora...heads straight to the top lane.

"Are you so straightforward?" Wawa couldn't help but say.

"No, I'm not being straightforward. Flash Wolves can only rely on guessing," Miller said. "To force a lane swap at level 1, there's a prerequisite: your team's teammate's ability to engage in a strong level 1 fight. But in this game, the opposing Braum and Ezreal bottom lane combination was too strong at level , and Flash Wolves couldn't afford to invade the jungle. I hope I can guess right."

At the same time, the SKT team was communicating rapidly in the voice chat.

"The opponent is definitely trying to gank my laner, the question is, how are they going to do it?"

Will Flash Wolves just swap top and bottom lanes, or do the opposite and continue with the normal matchup?
Level 1 group invasion is too unstable, and SKT does not want to take such a big risk to invade and gamble.

As soon as the game started, the two teams on the scene started a psychological game at the level of professional teams.

In the first minute and a half, the top and bottom lanes of both teams did not show up at all, while the mid and jungle players showed up like crazy, either moving up or down, trying to confuse the enemy.

When the soldiers began to attack in full force, the directions of the two sides became clear.

I remember my pupils shrinking and I exclaimed in delight: "It matches!!"

Finally, MaRin's crocodile went to the top lane,

And in the bushes on the road above, a female swordsman holding a rapier was waiting eagerly.

"Axi!"

MaRin clicked her tongue subconsciously.

After seeing the Flash Wolves duo appear normally in the bottom lane, MaRin knew that he couldn't escape.

I had been dodging the laning phase for two whole games, but in the end I couldn't escape this disaster and was caught.

There was no time to change lines, so MaRin could only control the crocodile and go online.

At this point in the BO5, the top laners of both teams finally faced off in the truest sense.

As for the first game, Quinn was too restrained against Crocodile, which was not what MaRin considered a normal matchup.

"Qinghuan, stay calm in the lane, I will be there this time." Bengi said.

"...Yeah." MaRin touched his nose. This concern from his teammates was timely and thoughtful, making him feel safe, but he still felt a little embarrassed. So, does that mean I have to withstand pressure when I'm laning against them?
what?
Is Yuanshen opposite?

I've been beaten three times?
That’s okay, come quickly, come quickly, save!

However, when Crocodile is laning against Fiora, there is really no pressure in the early stage.

It seems that Fiora's W is somewhat counter to Crocodile's W, but it is really too difficult to actually operate. 70% depends on prediction and 30% depends on reaction.

Moreover, Fiora focuses on consumption in the lane, and Crocodile also focuses on consumption, but the latter has stronger consumption ability and endurance in the early stage.

Sometimes, after Fiora finally uses Q to expose the crocodile's weakness, the crocodile counterattacks with a red rage Q, and the health is restored.

Once Fiora's W skill is wasted, Crocodile can do whatever he wants.

In the current version, between levels 6 and 15, if Fiora does not gain an advantage, she can basically not beat Crocodile in a single laning situation.

Even in the later stages, you still need equipment advantages to lead the team and win.

Even in team battles, Crocodile's ability is far superior to Fiora.

MaRin is very confident in his crocodile. Of course, he would not dream of suppressing or killing Yuanshen alone, but he thinks it is not a big problem to achieve a balanced laning situation.

And even if he is slightly inferior, he can still defend the tower.

How can a top laner without confidence make it all the way to the top of the world?
