People who didn't understand started criticizing the game, but when these critics came to the live stream and found that WLD had won, they were completely dumbfounded. They only realized the reason for the intentional feeding when they dragged the live stream back.
Furthermore, Er O San Qi discovered that the duration of this match was astonishingly short, enough to become a record that no one would break for a long time…
Looking back at the trending topics smearing Su Mu on various online communities, everything becomes clear.
Thus, another trending topic emerged, and its popularity soared. Within just a few minutes, it entered the top ten list, and it was only a matter of time before it surpassed the one that was deliberately sent to the top.
The emergence of the "suicide push Sion" strategy is bound to cause a stir among players, especially since it was started by Su Mu.
With so many conflicting accounts circulating online, the victims lost interest in paying attention.
The atmosphere in the DTG lounge was a bit strange, with many people looking hesitant, as if they were wondering about something.
Have you thought it through?
"I think we can give it a try. Judging from the quick replay, WLD himself isn't very familiar with this strategy. It's not hard to see that the side laners have absolutely no intention of cooperating with Sion, or rather, they simply don't know how to cooperate."
"It's probably just a flash of inspiration from Su Mu. We should be able to counter it by picking a carry that can clear waves quickly, has crowd control, and can provide decent damage output in the late game."
"I also think that taking down a tower requires minions, so why don't we just prevent the enemy from touching the minion wave? We don't even need a big core."
"Viktor, Azir, Corki, we can try to let these heroes out to force WLD to make a choice. If the opponent dares to continue picking Sion, then we can just pick the appropriate ones. If they don't pick them, everyone has an acceptable core to pick."
“Eagle, what about you? I’d like to hear your opinion.” Chen Zeliang looked at the short-haired boy sitting in the chair.
"I'm fine."
After saying that, Eagle recalled the scene of being pushed down on the tower right in front of him in the previous game, and a look of unbearable pain flashed across his face. If he hadn't been playing LeBlanc but a champion with fast wave clear, how could he have lost so badly...
The reason for the loss was not anything else, but rather a lack of understanding of the new Sion's suicide strategy.
From the coaching staff to the players, everyone in DTG quickly reviewed the game and came to the same conclusion.
This is why the current discussion revolves around what counters the suicide Sion, rather than banning Sion altogether.
……
The second game begins.
Su Mu had considered that DTG might not ban Sion, but instead try to find a counter-strategy to break this strategy.
Professional esports teams aren't like casual gamers who just play for fun; their professional skills and adaptability are evident.
But she didn't expect that DTG would use Bomber to counter her.
Well, in the current version, the Bomber is better suited for the bot lane than the mid lane...
This is a farming hero. Apart from W, which deals damage quickly, the rest of his damage skills are extremely slow, to the point that they can be easily predicted or dodged.
The skill set makes it difficult for the Bomber to consistently deal damage, but it provides extremely stable wave clear speed, allowing for firm control of the lane.
When facing heroes who are slow to push lanes, you can even push back the enemy's turrets. Both your passive and W abilities deal extra damage or have additional effects on turrets.
With so many advantages, what about the disadvantages? Let's take a closer look.
That means he's relatively difficult to coordinate with the jungler and can't roam to create advantages for his teammates; he's an even more unreliable turret-type mage than Xerath. 彡
"Bomber...do you still want to take Sion?" Liu Keke stopped behind Su Mu.
"You can keep taking them; the bomber can't target me," Su Mu chuckled.
Countering the suicide Sion build isn't difficult; good teamwork, a strong understanding of lane dynamics, and knowing how to counter it are all that's needed. (Lin)
Unfortunately, this hero was only reworked a few days ago, so expecting DTG to meet most of the above prerequisites is still too demanding.
"Okay, I trust you, take it."
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiayu found Sai's profile picture, clicked on it, and locked it instantly.
Seeing Sion, whose unconventional yet highly entertaining playstyle in the previous game had captivated audiences, being picked again, and this time in the mid lane, the crowd erupted in excited cheers.
Su Mu made a simple adjustment to his talent, a faint smile playing on his lips, looking completely relaxed and content.
In the second game, WLD moved to the red side, and the lineup wasn't significantly different from the previous game.
As follows: South
Blue side DTG: Top lane Fiora, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Ziggs, Bot lane Miss Fortune, Support Karma.
Red team WLD: Top lane Gragas, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid lane Sion, Bot lane Ashe, Support Nautilus.
When the two coaches shook hands, they both had smiles on their faces, but the sparks in their eyes could not be concealed.
There's no way to counter all of Su Mu's heroes; finding a way to break through them is the right approach.
The summer season is nearing its end. Even though Su Mu's overall performance can be described as excellent, it is not without flaws. The matches he lost before exposed many problems.
Chen Zeliang has confidence in his players and believes that after adjustments, they can avenge the humiliation they suffered in the previous game.
201. Why didn't she deliver it?
"WLD really makes full use of functionality. If this lineup can't end the game before the mid-game, it will be very lacking in damage in the late game."
"Actually, it's not too bad. Ashe did scrape a bit, but apart from Lee Sin, DTG's lineup doesn't have any particularly tough fighters. Fiora's teamfight effect is not as good as split pushing."
"The main thing is that Fiora was like an outsider in the game. Although the two players are essentially the same except for the mid lane, Su Mu's Sion was really eye-catching," Coconut said.
"Su Mu changed his runes to Unsealed Secrets, and his starting item is Extract instead of Longsword... Is he going to focus on farming with the Bomber?" Lanling asked, puzzled.
The Ziggs isn't the kind of mid-laner who can put a lot of pressure on opponents; he's too mana-hungry.
If you want to clear minions and gain lane control, you won't have much energy left to harass the opponent. If you try to harass, you won't have enough mana to clear minions. Controlling the lane is just wishful thinking.
Within the WLD voice channel.
"Weiwei, take the scan. The primary objective is to invade and force them to switch jungle areas. The secondary objective is to cover my entry into the depths of the jungle." Su Mu dragged the mouse to draw a route.
Are there any additional tactical changes?
"No," said the officer, covering the flag with his hand.
"clear."
Hearing Su Mu's words, Bai Wei felt reassured and quickly devised a preliminary jungle clearing route. If nothing unusual happened, she would clear one round, return home to replenish her equipment, and then get to work.
DTG took precautions in this match. To prevent Sion from sneaking into the jungle to farm buffs, their players were properly positioned at various entrances and exits of the jungle to keep an eye on WLD's movements.
Soon, they discovered that Titan had appeared in the river first, followed by a cartload of bread-men, their intentions obvious.
"Release it," Falcon said decisively.
The opposing team has Sion and Nautilus. Although Ashe is weak in the late game, she has a strong ability to keep enemies in place in the early game due to her passive's constant slow. They definitely can't beat WLD in a level 1 team fight.
"All five of us are here. Let's keep an eye out for this area and see if we need to switch jungle camps." Huolang marked the F6 bush.
Trinket wards are very important for the blind player, so they can't be placed randomly to scout enemy movements. For this reason, the blind player's vision score is usually the lowest among ten players.
"I know."
Sound should help by providing vision and quickly retreating with teammates to a safe distance from potential engages. It would be a bad deal if Nautilus used Flash to force out abilities.
DTG retreated quickly, which didn't surprise Su Mu. He glanced at several points in the jungle.
"The wards are most likely to be located near the buff pit and F6."
"Hey, I spotted it! Who wants the experience points?"
"Give it to Yan Hua, he'll be better at fighting Fiora."
Yan Hua didn't refuse and stepped forward to destroy the wards he had cleared in the F6 bushes.
With his vision cleared so quickly, Huolang looked rather grim. He was now unsure whether Rek'Sai would switch jungle camps.
Karma tried to throw a Q towards the red buff bush near the Krugs, but missed everyone.
Falcon hesitated for a moment, resisting the urge to stick the trinket into the bushes behind the wall.
Let's stay in Triangle Grass.
"Switch, you drive in the upper half of the zone, Blaze will help out if needed."
"..."
Both sides are setting up for the early game; minions are about to spawn, and jungle monsters are about to respawn.
The distribution of players on both sides makes it clear that a fight is unlikely; under normal circumstances, it would be a standard start with a jungle swap.
However, Su Mu's movements seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
From God's perspective, no one knows why she was squatting in front of the grass on the high ground wall in the lower half of the red zone.
"The minion wave is about to spawn, aren't you leaving?"
"Hey? Why is she heading towards the DTG Highland Tower?" Coconut's eyes widened.
The director zoomed in on Wu Yiqi, who was seen walking straight towards the mid-lane high ground. He quickly entered the attack range and continued to advance steadily.
He took two hits from the turret to activate his shield, then withstood the third hit. By the time he was killed by the turret on the fourth hit, he had already crossed the mid-lane crystal.
audience:???
Narrator: ? ? ?
DTG players chatted with the coaching staff about Il-3-4-5 and the three weapons.
What is Sion doing?
Soon everyone knew that Sion's passive ability had been activated, causing him to stand up and instantly attract the aggro of the newly appeared mid-lane minions, who then rushed towards him to begin their interaction.
"Sion is using zombies to finish off minions; the damage is very high. Four auto-attacks take down a melee minion, three hits down a ranged minion..."
Lanling watched the whole process in a daze until all six minions of the first wave were killed and Sion respawned in the fountain. Only then did she begin to understand Su Mu's thoughts.
"The money I have to go back to the lane is just enough to buy reusable potions, and since I've already last-hit all the minions, I can go back to the lane and save my TP."
"Wonderful! Originally, you could only buy one health potion with the Extract, but now with the Refillable Potion, your sustain is greatly improved. You don't have to worry about the Techies consuming your health, and you can even force the Techies to start last-hitting under the tower at level 1."
Some mage heroes are in a awkward position when last-hitting under the tower at level 1. If they want to get all six minions to take damage, their damage will be less, and they have to use ranged minions to chip away at the tower's health.
Even as a professional player, Eagle missed two ranged creeps when there was no interference.
Seeing Sion follow the second wave of minions online, his eye twitched slightly.
Her playing style is completely different from the last game... Just how many new tricks does Su Mu have up her sleeve? It's really giving me a headache.
Sion with a mining knife is ridiculous.
Oh well, anyway, he took out his murder ring as soon as he left the house, just waiting for Su Mu to deliver it.
However, Eagle didn't expect that even after emptying his mana bar, he still couldn't get the first kill from Su Mu.
Damn it, I've already taken out the murder ring, why aren't you doing anything yet?
First blood was achieved not long ago; the Lee Sin caught and killed the Titan, and his teammates narrowly escaped from Rek'Sai's clutches. It was a pretty good start.
In the mid lane, Eagle was almost level 5 when he was laning, and he couldn't even squeeze out enough mana for half a skill, so he had to go back to base.
But as soon as he returned, Sion, who had been stabilizing for several minutes, cleared the lane and then charged forward under the turret's attack, seemingly about to give up the turret.
Eagle tried to teleport down to take advantage of the situation, but he was a second too slow. Not only that, the tower also took a hit from Sion's Zombie, losing 175 tower plates.
What a loss.
"Annoying... Huh? Holy crap!"
After being chased and attacked twice by Sion's zombie, my health dropped to almost half. I quickly used W to blast the opponent away, but I still got hit by one more attack, leaving me with only about 40% health.
I just teleported back to lane from the fountain after returning home, and in the blink of an eye I'm already within the jungler's kill range...
In an instant, Eagle's entire face turned bitter.
This is just adding insult to injury!
Sigh, I guess I'll just have to finish them off honestly...
Eagle focused on the siege minion, and when its health was almost gone, he used his Q skill, thinking he could finish it off. However, the siege minion was killed by the turret when it was left with only a sliver of health.
"..."
Ugh, Liu Ling IV scars, ugh, I'm so angry!
I feel like I haven't had a single good day laning against Sion today; I've had absolutely no luck.
The audience almost burst out laughing.
Autobots!
Eagle's blood pressure is visibly rising; he'll probably need melatonin to fall asleep tonight.
