There's a key issue: from what I can see, the lane is very weak, but what about team fights? Without damage, you can't withstand attacks, and your meditation will definitely be interrupted.
If a suitable entry point can be found, ESG can only be silenced and interrupted by the healer's E skill, depending on whether the cat saves its skills.
Although many mid-lane heroes can bully Yasuo, I didn't expect Master Yi to be able to as well. That's amazing.
Su Mu's gaining an advantage meant that the relatively stable early game was gone forever.
The vanguard was summoned in the mid lane, and WLD's mid and jungle players took three tower plates.
Before ten minutes had passed, Su Mu had already pulled out Nashor's Tooth. With the help of his secondary E skill, each strike could deal physical, magical, and true damage.
True damage cannot be reduced by defense, and with the addition of both physical and magical attacks, it's difficult for anyone in ESG to withstand the damage.
In any case, the ESG lineup doesn't really have a tank in the traditional sense. At best, Gnar has high base stats and he can grow bigger and heal.
It cannot be denied that Shushu's analysis was correct. WLD did rush things in the last two waves, and apart from the mid and jungle, no one else gained anything.
But everyone involved knows that WLD's success in the mid-to-late stages depends on the Nakano sisters carrying the team; if they get any loot, it's like winning half the battle.
Bai Wei racked up several kills, and with the runes providing extra gold, she led the game in the number of kills she farmed. Not only did she have enough gold to buy a Liandry's Torment, but she also had an extra useless Needlessly Large Rod, making her farming ability terrifying.
It can be said that the high-intensity offensive against ESG has only just begun.
Yasuo had lost the ability to fight Master Yi. Su Mu had built up his passive stacks in advance, and when he found an opportunity, he used Q to engage and then used E to unleash a few powerful attacks. Half of Yasuo's health was gone in an instant.
At this point, Xique realized that even if he managed to gank with the jungler and successfully create a control chain, as long as Su Mu landed and activated her W, there would be no way to kill her.
It's getting easier and easier for Gnar to play against Ornn in the top lane. There's not much pressure, but you can't really dominate the lane either. To put it bluntly, it's just about farming and getting ahead.
The trigger for fights between the two sides in a match is nothing more than map resources, such as the dragon.
When the second dragon spawned, ten players gathered in the bottom lane river and launched a fierce attack, resulting in a three-for-three exchange.
As the losing side, ESG wouldn't normally be at a disadvantage in trading kills. The problem is that WLD's kills were taken by Karthus and Master Yi, while ESG's mid and jungle were the first to die, carrying bounties. The most valuable Karthus kill was taken by Soraka, who shouldn't have been getting the gold.
That's really awkward.
The fact that Xiaolong successfully snatched the dragon gave him five precious minutes to develop, which slightly alleviated the unfavorable situation.
If Karthus gets fed to an extreme level, the game might end before the top, mid, and jungle players can reach their power spike.
Before the second Herald even spawned, WLD switched lanes early, moving the bottom lane duo to the mid lane to stay in lane.
Yasuo was having a tough time. Facing such a strong early-to-mid-game combination, he couldn't even touch the minion wave. He couldn't help but communicate with the bot lane to find a suitable opportunity to switch out.
Shushu glanced at the Sword Saint who was retreating with low health and said, "Let's finish off this wave of cannon minions."
Two against one is not much of a challenge. As long as the healer remains silent and doesn't use her ultimate, the Sword Saint can only be worn down and won't dare to openly use his W to heal.
By wearing down the opponent until they can retreat and replenish their health and mana, you create a small time difference in the matchup, which makes it easier to switch lanes.
"I'll come down early." Xique sighed helplessly, glancing longingly at the minion wave he couldn't reach.
Suddenly, everyone at ESG noticed long, eerie green stripes appearing above their heads. (Witch)
"..."
That damn Karthus is using his ultimate to steal money again, it's so annoying. (Qi)
Karthus's ultimate was already level 2; anyone who took a hit would be severely affected. Bai Wei gained nearly 200 gold in one fell swoop. Dad.
The strategy of picking Karthus first in the jungle isn't uncommon, but seeing him play so smoothly and achieve such a significant lead in professional matches is something most people are seeing for the first time. (8)
After a few words of reflection, I continued watching, when the OB camera suddenly shifted. (Mio)
The commentator's eyes widened upon seeing the footage.
"How did the Sword Saint end up behind the ESG duo?! He used his ultimate to chase down the healer and hack away!"
"The damage was very high. A few hits and the healer's health was almost gone. The Master Yi, using his E skill to silence her, combined with Miss Fortune's damage output, but it seemed like she couldn't hold on. She had to use her ultimate to heal." - Liu
"Wow, the Master Yi stepped out just as the silence circle was about to activate, then turned around and Q'd at the healer. The healer's Flash was a few seconds away from activating, and the Master Yi was immune to all slows when he activated his ultimate, so the healer couldn't create distance!"
"Miss Gunslinger's damage isn't low, but the output after AQA wasn't enough to kill Master Yi. Soraka was caught up and killed, and Miss Gunslinger activated her ultimate on Master Yi's location, hahahahahaha—"
"Cough... Miss Fortune used her ultimate to sweep through Master Yi a few times and seemed like she could kill him, Master Yi! Master Yi used his W to heal, wow, he's so tanky, he can actually heal while being hit by Miss Fortune's ultimate, isn't this just absurd?"
"After consuming the enemy's health, Miss Fortune still had nearly 40% remaining—terrifying! Miss Fortune, also without summoner spells, was being chased and hacked down by Master Yi, whose basic abilities had been refreshed."
"Master Yi's attack speed is ridiculously high when fully stacked with Lethal Tempo, and he also has an extra attack range bonus. Miss Fortune doesn't look like she can escape. But Yasuo, get to the front line soon, can you avenge your teammates?"
"..."
The commentators were speaking very loudly, but the players in Summoner's Rift couldn't hear a thing.
Xique walked from the river into the bottom lane, heading straight for the two players who were chasing and fleeing, and even used his Q skill on a minion to generate wind.
As a professional player, Xique immediately judged that his teammate was doomed, so he did not chase after her immediately. Instead, he waited for his second Q skill to be off cooldown, and when he was able to charge up Q3, it was just the right moment for Miss Fortune to die.
"Suffer to death!"
The Sword Saint, who had taken a hit from the turret, was left with very low health. Seeing that the opponent still dared to walk towards him, he quickly changed his mind and used his EQ combo on the minions.
To prevent his skills from being dodged, he wanted to execute the most reliable combo.
EQ Flash!
What Xique never expected was that during the blink of an eye, the Sword Saint vanished from the map as a blur...
Alpha Raid!
The chosen target wasn't a lowly soldier, but himself!
"Holy crap! Is this the kind of reflex a human can have?!"
A master can use his Q to dodge Yasuo's EQ flash, a divine and demonic love story!
The Sword Saint landed and immediately adopted a familiar healing pose, completely ignoring Yasuo who was constantly attacking him.
Yasuo's Q skill has a short cooldown. By the time Master Yi finishes his meditation, he will have already built up his next Q3, knocking up Master Yi before his Q skill is ready, then auto-attacking followed by Last Breath.
"Die!"
However, when Su Mu saw this scene, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and there was no trace of panic on his face.
?254.One dozen
Don't assume that you're the only one who can provide support.
Xique thought this was a sure kill, but before the ultimate move even landed, he heard his teammates shouting in his headset.
Ornn teleported away!
???
Before Xique could even think about where to teleport, he saw the Ornn ultimate ability effect appear beneath his feet.
Holy crap?!
I glanced at the minimap and saw a huge wave of minions pushing into the tower on the top lane. Did I need to use Teleport to support them?
"Let's give it our all!"
Xique gritted his teeth and decided to abandon dodging and positioning, hoping to kill Master Yi before Ornn's ultimate could knock him up. At worst, he would trade kills; turning around and leaving might mean getting nothing at all.
Three seconds passed—
WLD-Sumu has killed ESG-Xique!
Triple kill!
Staring intently at the Sword Saint whose mana and health bars were almost empty, Xique couldn't help but grind his clenched teeth a couple of times.
Even this couldn't be changed!
So annoying!
No, how come an AP Master Yi with Nashor's Tooth can deal so much damage?
The comments section was already buzzing with excitement.
Yi Dashan!
[A fierce and sophisticated gentleman, Mu Ge's genius is truly remarkable!]
[I freaking blew the Japanese to death with an Italian cannon auto-aiming, one against three in a professional match, would you believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes?]
To be honest, I don't believe this is true even in the high-elo ranks of the international server. It's more likely that a skilled player would smurf in a low-elo game.
[It has a healing skill, comes with damage increase, its ultimate skill grants immunity to slowing while also providing a high attack speed and movement speed bonus, and it also has a skill like Alpha Strike to dodge attacks and control effects. What is this?]
Got it, this is Powder!
[Alpha's surprise attack on dimensional destruction, right?]
2333…
On the commentary panel.
"As it turns out, the process of believing first, then questioning, and then believing again was not wrong when WLD presented... no, it should be said that Su Mu presented the strange thing."
"That's amazing. He can even play AP Master Yi. He even managed to kill three opponents in a professional match. Although he might not have been able to kill Yasuo without Ornn's support, judging from the process, this Nashor's Tooth Master Yi is really something."
"It also depends on teamwork. Karthus's ultimate in the early game is crucial for depleting the healer's health. If the healer doesn't heal Miss Fortune and causes her to lose health with her W, there might be room for her to make a play and cooperate with her teammates to kill Master Yi."
"We previously analyzed that WLD's lineup has offensive pressure, and Kalista's late-game curve is really too poor. Now that the mid and jungle are fed early, it's hard to say what will happen."
"ESG is intentionally avoiding fights to gain time for development. The key question is, how did the Juggernaut appear behind the Miss Fortune and Soraka just now?"
"The replay has just arrived; let's solve the mystery..."
The replay perspective is primarily from the ESG side, and the fog of war is active.
From ESG's perspective, ever since Juggernaut was severely damaged and disappeared, there wasn't a single moment on the minimap where his presence could be detected.
The Sword Saint, whom the ESG players thought might return to the tower or recall to replenish his health, was low on health but instead, he sidled up to the wall and circled around to the toilet area of the lane, silently disappearing into the bushes and activating his W to heal.
His behavior can't be described as bold, but rather as incredibly audacious.
Are you really not afraid of being spotted in the bushes, and are you really that precise in calculating damage?
If he had even considered the need for timely support from his teammates, then it's no exaggeration to say that Su Mu truly deserves the title of "Master Strategist of the LOL Circle."
High-ranking players may not understand a fact as well as low-ranking players—
Some heroes become unstoppable once they get fed, and Juggernaut is one of them.
The ESG lineup has a fatal flaw: it lacks hard crowd control abilities. Apart from Diana's ultimate which grants instant crowd control, all other crowd control abilities have prerequisite conditions.
This means that no one can stop the fed Sword Saint from entering the fray and reaping kills.
Even more terrifying is that WLD support is a gem... a gem!
Taric, the Gem Knight, activates his ultimate ability, granting invulnerability to all allies within a certain range for 2.5 seconds after a short delay!
How could a fed Sword Saint kill someone in 2.5 seconds?
At the start of the game, no one might have believed that Su Mu's bizarre build could deal damage, but his recent 1v3 performance showed everyone that he had no shortage of damage.
With just one completed item, it already deals enough damage. If we add the unknown related items later, even Gnar might not be able to withstand it.
You can't blame the commentators for secretly checking the Sword Saint's skill data on their phones when the camera wasn't focused on them...
The Sword Saint is a rare pick in the competition, and no commentator dares to say they know him well. After watching the update announcement last night, they couldn't even remember all the changes.
Upon witnessing the specific changes to Master Yi's E skill, and turning their attention to the match footage of a level 11 Master Yi with a maxed-out E skill, everyone fell silent.
That's true, a max-level Juggernaut's E deals a fixed 85 true damage, how could he not have any output...
The second rift in the Rift has spawned, and it looks like the Sword Saint is about to get his second completed item.
The broadcast showed a comparison of the economic data of both sides, and WLD's mid and jungle players were already leading their opponents by nearly 4,000 gold.
When they reached the high-intensity stage where they really needed to fight frequently, ESG realized that theory is just theory after all, and how easy it is to execute a seemingly perfect combo.
In every team fight, either Yasuo gets bogged down, Gnar's rage is maxed out beforehand, Diana is forced to use her abilities to survive, or she gets caught and eliminated early.
Whether it's a small-scale team fight or a large-scale team fight, the more they fight, the more they lose, completely falling into WLD's familiar rhythm.
Many ESG fans could see that the situation was almost identical to the quarterfinal loss to OP.
They all put together lineups that looked like they had great teamwork in team fights, but they fell apart as soon as team fights started, with a problem occurring at some point each time.
[I've already sent it. Can I still believe in miracles?]
"I'd rather believe in miracles than believe I'm Qin Shi Huang? Look at that Master Yi with Nashor's Tooth, Blade of the Ruined King, and Guinsoo's Rageblade. Who on ESG can withstand that damage?"
WLD expanded their advantage around the mid and jungle, and before the Baron Nashor spawned, their overall economic lead had reached over 9,000, a huge number that would make anyone despair at first glance.
