Chapter 108: Collapse at the start!
Backstage, WE waiting room.
Coach Hoon looked around at the players sitting in the room, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
They were not unacceptable to losing to IG, after all, IG also had some strength, but just like QG's coach, what Hoon could not accept was losing without having played anything.
According to WE's tactical plan, in this game, they targeted the jungler and caught the old man in the BP.
As long as the opponent's Mantis is caught in the jungle, this hero will have no role to play in the mid-to-late team battles, and IG's three lanes will naturally become a mess.
Unfortunately, we can only say that the illogical catch by Mantis at level 3 was too damaging.
Moreover, the opponent's jungler's rhythm was too dense. Once a gap was opened, the next step was a flood, not giving Xiye any chance to breathe at all.
As a result, the middle lane and the jungle collapsed together.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the “Old Man Li” on the opposite side seems to have become stronger than the last time we played against QG.
Coach Hoon thought he must have seen it wrong!
If the opponent is a teenage jungler who is about 17 or 18 years old and has just started playing professionally, Coach Hoon thinks this is normal.
After all, this age is the time to "improve skills", and talented players can stand on their own after one season of experience on the field.
But Li Fu is an old veteran!
It’s good enough that you’re not going downhill, but what the hell is the point of improving your skills?
So Coach Hoon thought he must have seen it wrong.
The jungle position has always been like this: when things go well, everything will go smoothly; when things go badly, it will be a disaster.
After all, Xiye's flash in the middle lane was too late.
After a brief preparation and organizing his words, Coach coughed dryly, drawing everyone's attention and said, "In the last game, we took things for granted in the draft. We cannot let Rookie go in the middle lane. His Leblanc did too much in this game."
Kangdi immediately added, "When Ahri gets fat, she can kill people instantly. Besides, this hero is very flexible. My jungle is under a lot of pressure. Otherwise, the opponent's Mantis wouldn't be so fat."
This statement is a bit like putting the blame on Xiye.
The main reason is that Kangdi doesn’t think his rhythm is worse than Li Fu’s.
joke,
An old veteran,
How could he be defeated by his opponent by using his brain?
Xiye was not very eloquent, so he opened his mouth but was still depressed and couldn't say anything.
After holding it in for a long time, he just said, "Can the hero Mantis be banned?"
In the last game, his Lucian was always living under the scythe of Mantis. He was killed instantly wherever he went. I guess he will dream about the scythe of Mantis tonight.
When Kangdi heard Xiye's proposal, his expression suddenly changed.
What does Ban Mantis mean?
WE lost the last game.
I didn’t lose in the jungle.
"No need to ban Mantis, this is my Mantis."
Kangdi said sullenly, "I often play Mantis in the ranking recently, just watch my jungle more."
After playing the game with Rookie and taking off his headphones, he said that he had a different experience.
For the same game, different people and different angles will have different views.
Kangdi felt that although Li Fu’s Mantis in the previous game was fat, he was just getting fat by lying down while hugging the middle laner.
Otherwise, who would play Mantis and use the blue buff to catch people at level 3?
Even Teacher Da Sima knows that the hero Mantis only needs to be farmed in the early stage. Unless you want to rely on the thigh of a certain lane, there is no need to catch anyone in the early stage.
Because Mantis doesn't have any skills to keep people in the line, the success rate of early ganks is too low, and if he misses a wave, he will be seriously injured.
When he thought of this, Kangdi felt angry again.
It is so difficult for the hero Mantis to catch people. He really doesn’t know why Xiye was guarding his ancestral flash in the last game?
It can be said that if there had not been the first wave of rhythm in the middle lane, the outcome of the last game might have been completely different.
It’s a pity that there is no if in anything.
Thinking of this, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Kangdi's eyes.
In the next game, he will let the man on the opposite side and all LPL viewers know what a real professional mantis is!
…
At the same time, in the IG waiting room.
Coach Chris was all smiles as he gave his victory speech, "Brother Fu's rhythm was perfect this time. His decision-making and responses in the several waves of catching people were very good. You can listen more to Brother Fu in the next game."
She Keke nodded, "I really like listening to Brother Fu."
Zizi said unhappily, "I have no problem with Brother Fu being the boss, but coach, can you give me the entire Fiora? The opponent's Rumble was too disgusting in the last game, he kept pulling me down."
"Come on, Fiora. I'll show him who's the boss in the top lane."
Coach Chris hesitated, "Fiora is fine, I'm just worried you'll get caught and killed too many times."
"It's okay, we have Brother Fu here." His attitude was exposed, and he laughed, "I play Fiora, Brother Fu can't be partial to one and not come to the top lane at all, right?"
After playing several games in the spring season, it can be seen that Li Fu does not only help the mid lane.
He helps wherever he can.
Zizi was thinking that since he had already taken out the Sword Lady, he would have to take better care of Brother Fu.
Coach Chris saw that Zizi was eager to try, but did not give a definite answer. "Let's wait and see about the BP. WE is no different from other teams. This season, WE is very strong. We are second in Group A. If we can secure this point, we must secure it. Everything is based on winning the game."
Hearing this, Zizhi also perked up.
Compared to showing off in the top lane, he definitely wants to win the game more.
On the side, manager Su Xiaoluo, who was watching coldly, had a complicated expression on his face.
IG won the game, of course he was happy.
But Li Fu's position in the team now seems to be becoming more and more stable, which makes him very unhappy.
He has been waiting for the opportunity.
Waiting for Li Fu's condition to decline, he would immediately come up and add insult to injury, kicking him back to the water dispenser.
But looking at the current situation,
How come this kid is getting better and better as he fights?
A last glimmer of light!
It must be a last gasp!
Su Xiaoluo was puzzled and could only tell herself this.
Li Fu didn't notice Su Xiaoluo's gaze.
After the last game, he had 60 extra points, which he directly converted into attribute points and now added to [Hand Speed Reaction].
[Hand speed reaction: 84.5+0.6→85.1]
In an instant, the familiar warmth in his hands reappeared, and Li Fu felt that his hands were becoming lighter and more dexterous.
Is it only 5 points away from the 90-point first-line level?
Li Fu glanced at the current value of his hand speed reaction, and he couldn't help but become more and more excited.
According to his estimation, there are many top players in the LPL region who are at world-class level, especially those powerful Korean players who are in their prime years.
When all my points are added to 90, even in the normal state without temporary attribute bonuses, I should be able to compete with them, right?
…
LPL official live broadcast room.
"Xila is laughing at me! Wake up, Xiye."
"Don't give me away, you guys are the second place in Group A!"
"Let me be honest. If Xiye hadn't given up in the last game, Kangdi would have completely defeated IG's old idiot jungler in the jungle."
"I really don't understand why people would praise this old bastard who has fought for several years but hasn't won a single championship. If he really has the ability, how could he not have won a championship?"
"WE fans are getting anxious! Does Fu Huang's strength need to be defined by a championship?"
"Laugh! The priest and God are one family, neither of them needs a champion, right?"
“…”
The live broadcast room began to be filled with comments.
At the same time, on both sides of the stage, the contestants from both sides had taken their positions again.
In this game, WE firmly believed that the blue side had a high winning rate, while IG won a game on the red side, so neither side chose to switch sides.
Let’s look at BP again.
Xiye's poor performance in the last game forced the WE coach to abandon the "catch the old man" tactic and refocus on the laning in the middle lane. He banned Rookie's two heroes at the beginning.
Leblanc, Clockwork, and a Gragas.
“It tastes just right.”
On the commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan said with a smile, "It seems that after WE's loss in the last game, they finally realized that they really can't let go of the mid laner when playing against IG. If they do, you won't be able to win."
"Yes, then we can see that IG banned Graves, Troll and Poppy, and Graves was still not released." Wawa couldn't help laughing when he said this, "Haha, it seems that Brother Fu still hasn't practiced Graves in the game. If IG's Graves is not banned one day, it means Brother Fu's Graves will be released."
"Well, actually it's good to be banned."
Guan Zeyuan stroked his chin and said, "It's mainly because the older players are too slow to practice heroes in this version. The pace of our second round of the regular season is relatively tight, and each team has to take turns playing against the other six teams. In comparison, I think it would be better for Brother Fu to bring out an unpopular jungle hero from time to time to catch the opponent off guard."
Wawa smiled and said, "That's true. The disadvantage is that you can only steal it once. If you do it again, the other party will be on guard. If you want to play it this way, you should think carefully."
As soon as the words fell, the blue team WE's first move was locked.
Ezreal, the little yellow-haired boy.
Mystic's signature hero.
Next, both sides began to take turns in BP.
On the red side, IG used Lucian and Braum in the first and second hands, and Fiora and Syndra in the third and fourth hands.
On the red side, WE uses Leona and Card in the second and third hands, and Rumble and Mantis in the fourth and fifth hands.
"Kanti's mantis?"
On the Shark platform, PDD in the live broadcast room laughed out loud, "This hero is not a popular hero in any version. It seems that Kangdi is going to play a revenge game. Now the pressure is on Brother Fu."
"Brother Fu has a counter position here. Don't you think he won't use the lion dog?" Xiao Ma said jokingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, IG quickly released their last song without much thought.
"I will make your dreams come true with my own hands!"
Lee Sin!
locking!
At this point, the full lineups of both sides have surfaced.
Blue side WE: top lane Rumble, jungle Mantis, mid lane Card, bottom lane Little Yellow Hair and Leona.
Red side IG: Fiora on top, Lee Sin in the jungle, Syndra in the middle, Lucian and Braum in the bottom lane.
Leaving aside other positions, in this game, the junglers of both sides were essentially swapping heroes.
Revenge round VS teaching round!
The commentator on the stage also started laughing.
Wawa couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, this is interesting. Kangdi actually took out a mantis. Hey, who do you think will win this time?"
Guan Zeyuan immediately stroked his chin and said, "I think it depends on the players, but young junglers like Kangdi are really fast at learning heroes. I feel that this Mantis may have been prepared. IG should be careful."
The commentators on the stage were discussing the lineup.
The second game started loading, and before entering the game, the real-time support rate for the second game was given on the big screen.
WE 60%, IG 40%.
There was no way, even though IG won the first game, WE’s fans were known as 60E back then.
Even though things are different now, it has attracted a large number of fans again after entering version 2.0 and enjoying a second spring.
At least in terms of the cheers from the audience, so far, the cheers from WE fans have never been lower than those from IG, basically crushing them.
Everyone hopes that WE can crush IG in this game!
Let IG’s dog son see it!
What is the real 2.0WE!
The premise is that Xiye stops being a jerk.
…
Enter the game.
"Brother Fu, will you help me with this?"
As soon as he came out of the spring, Zhizi turned around and asked Li Fu with a shameless face.
Li Fu glanced at the other team's lineup and nodded, "Okay, I'll help you now."
"Ah?" Zizi was stunned.
So next, from the director's perspective, you can see that after both sides lined up in a long snake formation in their respective jungle areas, a subtle misalignment occurred on IG's side.
Li Fu's Lee Sin was standing guard in the top lane, while Zzitai's Fiora was in the jungle.
After the first level confrontation ended, Li Fu left a ward in the triangle grass of his own jungle near the top lane before leaving.
This detail was caught by Guan Zeyuan on the commentary desk. Looking at Li Fu walking back, he pondered for a few seconds and suddenly reacted, "Brother Fu, there is something to this eye position."
"Oh? What do you mean?" asked Wawa.
Guan Zeyuan stroked his chin and analyzed, "This 957's Rumble will definitely not fight with Zzitai Fiora in the early stage, so it will be difficult for Lee Sin to catch the top lane. Brother Fu's ward is equivalent to protecting the top lane while not having to worry about the top lane later."
After a pause, he continued:
"There is a high chance that the opposing WE Conti's Mantis will come all the way up from the bottom zone, so the top laner might be caught at that time. Fu Ge's ward just prolonged Fiora's laning time in the top lane."
I have to say that from a God's perspective, Guan Zeyuan's analysis is quite accurate.
This is indeed what Li Fu thought.
But at this moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
"Eh? WE wants to invade!"
"That's right. Top, mid and jungle are all here. They're going to counter the red card! Card is holding the yellow card."
"What did IG say? It seems like they don't want to let it go. They are trying to maneuver."
"Wait, WE's bottom lane support Leona is also heading this way. She's showing up on the mid lane line and seems to be coming over here."
"The opponent has more people and more power. IG will have to let go of this red."
"Tsk tsk, Kangdi's start with this Praying Mantis is very fierce. It seems that he really wants revenge in this game."
“…”
The commentator's tone of voice was surprised.
The WE fans in the live broadcast room also started to show their displeasure.
"Haha, this blind monk Fu Huang makes me laugh to death. He is such a coward that he sticks to one thing from beginning to end."
"I'll let them invade me. I can get some help from them later anyway."
"Damn it, if I were here a long time ago, I would never tolerate this!"
“…”
In the game, Zzitai also yelled to Shekeke in the bottom lane:
"Fuck, why did you go back to the line so early? The opposite female tank has come. If you don't come, Brother Fu's red buff will be gone."
Shekeke said aggrievedly, "Didn't you say we wouldn't fight at level one? Then I will definitely go down. These guys on the other side are too cunning."
After making an excuse, Shekeke asked Li Fu, "Brother Fu, do you want me to help you get to the blue start in the lower half?"
Li Fu had already retreated to the bushes next to F4 and said to Zizi who was wandering around, "Don't hang around. The soldiers are coming up the top lane. Go back to the lane. Oh, leave a ward in the bushes up there for me."
As he said this, he pinged the signal from the bushes opposite the red buff camp, and then said to Keke, "You go online directly, I'll take a look, I can go solo when we go to the lower area later."
Upon hearing that, Shekeke returned to the line first and glanced at the brother-in-law on the opposite side. "The support likes to roam around, right? Then I will torture your ADC!
Zzitai did not suspect anything and directly placed the ward in the bushes, turned around, bypassed the stone man and returned to the line.
As for the four invading WE members.
After seeing IG's top, mid and jungle all returned to the lane, Kangdi couldn't help but sneered, "Let's all disperse. The opponent's Lee Sin should have gone to the bottom lane. The old guy is really patient."
At this time, he had already defeated a wave of F4 with the help of several good brothers, and steadily punished the big bird to level up to level 2.
The opposing Lee Sin...
It didn't show up from beginning to end!
Kangdi has watched IG's games. In the first round against QG, the opponent was also counter-jungled by Swfit and was directly released halfway through the fight.
He was amused on the spot.
Let alone now.
He felt that the only thing he needed to worry about now was whether the opposing jungler would counter-invade his bottom zone, so he asked Zero to go to his own bottom zone first to help set up a ward.
The other WE players saw their opponents return to the line,
No doubt about him,
They also went online.
Zero the female tank left earlier because her journey back was farther. If she returned late, the brother-in-law in the bottom lane could only follow behind and gain experience.
But even so, he followed Kangdi's advice and helped place a ward at the red buff in the lower half of his own area to prevent the opponent's jungler from counter-invading.
At this time, there seemed to be only a level 2 Mantis left in the upper half of IG fighting the red enemy.
However, from the director's perspective on the big screen, Wawa and Miller showed looks of surprise on their faces.
They were not surprised at the smoothness of WE's invasion, but were surprised that IG's top and mid players returned to the line, even though they had already left the upper jungle area.
There is someone who should have left long ago but didn't.
Li Fu's blind monk,
Still squatting in the upper half.
At this moment, the level 1 Lee Sin was quietly lurking in the shadows of the upper zone, like a hunter lurking in the darkness.
In the bushes next to the red buff, the level 2 Mantis was pulling the red buff skillfully, and the red buff's health had dropped below half.
Just then, the blind monk moved.
After seeing the enemy players in both the middle and upper lanes, plus the wards that Zzitai left near the red buff before leaving,
Li Fu didn't do anything fancy, he just walked up without any scruples. Kangdi, who was busy clearing the jungle in the bush, was stunned.
What the hell?
Why is this Lee Sin still in the top half?
Hasn't he been released?
However, before he could think more, Li Fu strode into the bushes.
The next second, the red buff's health appeared, and only 374 points were left. It looked like a lot, but it had already entered the jungler's punishment line.
Want to fight for punishment?
Does not exist.
Earlier, when Kangdi defeated Li Fu's F4 at the beginning of the invasion with the cooperation of his teammates, he had already used up his punishment in order to play it safe, which means that Kangdi's punishment was on CD at this time.
So, there is no suspense!
Li Fu stepped into the bushes like taking food from a buffet. He raised his hand and used a punishment to directly take away the red buff.
grass!
Conti was immediately angry!
But you have to know that he was fearless before because he first cleared a group of F4 and reached level two with the help of his good brothers.
But now Li Fu took a single punishment and also reached level 2 after taking the red buff.
At this time, the confrontation in the jungle area instantly turned into a level 2 Lee Sin with the red buff, and a level 2 Mantis who was carrying the red buff and helping to work and had lost a small amount of health.
What the hell is this?
Kangdi, get out of here quickly!
But Li Fu didn't let him go so easily.
Tianyin wave!
“Hit!”
The volume of the commentary on the stage suddenly increased!
"Another palm of thunder breaks the slowdown! Brother Fu's blind monk is still chasing!"
"It's bad! This time, Mantis didn't learn E in order to quickly refresh the red buff. He can only go to the middle lane."
"Yes, flash to the Baron Pond, Lee Sin will definitely follow."
"Xiye's Twisted Fate has come over in the middle lane, and Rookie's Syndra is also coming over here. It's bad! Xiye was standing guard for the jungler in the front, so he is behind Rookie in experience, and he is only level 1."
"That's right, but Rookie's Syndra is already level 2."
"Xiye cuts out the yellow card, but wait! He was knocked unconscious by Rookie's QE, and a basic attack unleashes Thunder. Rookie chooses to intercept the card first."
"Kantie is in big trouble. His health is too low to fight back. What should I do? Should I use my flash?"
"Follow the flash! Brother Fu's Lee Sin is chasing! He's going to kill him alone!"
one time!
Twice!
Lift your leg and kick again!
Under the slowdown of the red buff, Mantis couldn't get away at all.
At this moment, Kangdi's mood can be described in two words.
regret!
I still
He felt that he should not have used that punishment when fighting F4, otherwise he would have directly punished the red buff and there wouldn't have been so many follow-ups.
But it’s too late to regret now!
Under the burning and slowing down of the red buff, Kangdi's health quickly dropped to the bottom. Finally, Li Fu raised his leg and kicked out again, directly taking the head.
"IG-Padre6 killed WE-Condi!"
"First Blood!"
The shocking first blood prompt appears!
"Brother Nicefu!" Rookie smiled.
"Oh my god... I can even get first blood with this." Li Fu, who had been watching the movements on the minimap during the laning phase in the top lane, was stunned.
"Brother Fu is awesome!" Xiao Shiguang praised him without hesitation.
"Basic exercises, basic exercises." Li Fu was elegant and modest.
There was a lot of joy in the IG team chat.
However, at this moment, some WE fans at the scene looked up at the game time in a daze.
2 minutes and 19 seconds!
Conti, who had just been full of vigor and vitality, died suddenly in the river.
This fucking...is it in the river?
For a moment, the barrage of comments surged wildly.
"What did WE play today? The jungler also got sick?"
"Where's the punishment? Where's your punishment?"
“Fuck! Were we really going to lose to IG?”
“…”
On the commentary stage, Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but sigh:
"Tsk tsk, a kill in 2 minutes and 19 seconds. I thought that the level 3 gank of Fuge's Mantis in the last game was fast enough to get the first blood, but I didn't expect this one to be even faster."
Wawa also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Yes, this should be the fastest kill record since the start of our spring season without a level 1 team fight. Brother Fu's blind monk is really unconventional. Who would have thought that a level 1 blind monk who was obviously chased away would hide in the dark alone."
At this time, the kill replay was played on the big screen, and Guan Zeyuan once again pointed out the details that had just been missed.
"And Rookie's choice of target for Syndra's QE was also very sensible. In fact, he was very close to Conti's Mantis at that time, but if QE had stunned Mantis at that time, Conti would definitely have been able to flash and dodge. Although Fu Ge's Lee Sin could make up for the damage later, don't forget that Xiye still has a yellow card in his hand. As long as he is stunned for one second, Lee Sin will not be able to catch up even if he wants to flash."
…
Backstage, WE’s coach Hoon was numb!
This was a carefully designed start in the jungle, but he never expected that he would lose both his wife and his troops.
It would have been fine if Condi's Mantis had been killed, but the key point was that the mid and top players, including the support, wasted too much time in the early stage to help Condi design this counter-jungle invasion, and they even lost the experience of several soldiers when returning to the line.
This is why Rookie is at level 2 while Xiye is only at level 1.
There is no need to say much about the importance of early-stage military experience.
The top lane was suppressed in level, and the bottom lane support could only rely on experience before going online. In the middle lane, Xiye lost most of his health after being intercepted by Rookie while supporting at level 2 and fighting level 1.
This was tantamount to a failed invasion of the jungle area, which directly reversed the tempo of the three lanes of their own.
PDD laughed like a pig in the live broadcast room:
"Brother Fu's counterattack is invincible!"
"WE is at a loss!"
