While the game was loading, the three commentators at the commentary desk began to analyze the situation of the game.
"To be honest, RNG's lineup was pretty good this time. Xiaohu's Syndra in the middle lane controlled the early game rhythm, and Tristana in the bottom lane ensured the bottom line in the late game. This kind of team growth curve is very smooth."
"Yes, this is actually a very reasonable lineup. IG's lineup is similar, but they are mid and top. Jayce in the top lane ensures the strength in the early stage, while the Clockwork and Skateboards in the middle ensure the bottom line in the mid and late stages. In this way, there are always people who can exert strength in the early and late stages of the game, and the rhythm will not be interrupted."
"Well, each lineup has its own gameplay."
Miller nodded and turned to look at the host commentary desk, "Oh, our players for this game have already entered the Summoner's Rift. Let's take a look at the opening game of both sides."
At the beginning of this game, there was still no level one group invasion from either side.
Li Fu, who was originally on guard in the upper area, looked at the opposing jungler Troll, and with a slight movement in his heart, he placed a ward in the bush behind the red buff camp in his own upper area and between the dragon pit.
"Eh? Brother Fu placed a defensive ward. It seems that he guessed that Mala Xiangguo might have some ideas about his upper half, so he paid great attention to protecting the upper half."
"That's right. After all, there's Jayce in the top lane. In this match, IG's jungler will definitely go from bottom to top, clearing the bottom half first. If the top half isn't well defended, it's easy for Xiang Guo, who's skilled and daring, to take advantage of the situation and break in."
As the game progressed, when Li Fu's Olaf cleared the lower half and began to move towards the upper half, he once again gave a signal to Rookie who was in the middle lane.
"Brother Ji, help me fix my eyes."
"Where?"
"Just put it next to the entrance of F4 camp."
"no problem."
Rookie's Clockwork was facing Xiaohu's Syndra. At the beginning, he did not push the line like he did in the previous game against the assassin. The line of soldiers was always near the river, so he just turned around and walked a few steps to the right, then placed down a trinket reconnaissance eye.
This scene was also captured by the director's perspective.
"Eh? Rookie added another ward when Fu Ge's trinket ward was about to disappear at the beginning of the game. It seems that they value the top half of the team very much in this game."
"That's right, but Xiang Guo seemed to have the same idea. He invaded directly from F4 after clearing three groups of junglers in the lower zone. However, he was spotted by Rookie's wards. I'm afraid Xiang Guo's invasion was in vain."
"wrong!"
At this time, PDD suddenly shook his head and frowned, "Just now when Rookie went to place the ward, Xiaohu pinged a few signals near the ward position. It makes no sense for Xiangguo not to know that he was discovered."
Um?
It seems to be true!
Wawa and Miller were also stunned.
You know that, but you're still going?
Is this a hard counterattack?
At this time, Li Fu knew that the opponent had entered his jungle area and sent out several signals in the upper half.
In order to prevent being ambushed, he ignored the red buff at home, but directly pulled F4 to a position near the bush and started fighting. At this position, Rookie's Clockwork support in the middle lane must be faster than the opponent's mid laner.
And in theory, as long as he fights fast enough, he will still have enough time to clear F4 and then go to see the red. At that time, Li Fu can launch a sneak attack on the opponent.
But unexpectedly, Xiang Guo actually played a trick.
Because Looper gave him a piece of information - when his Gnar was fighting against Zzitai's Jayce in the top lane, Looper used the bushes along the wall to block the vision. In order to get an extra A, Zzitai inserted his trinket eye into the bushes along the wall in the top lane.
This means that at this moment, Zzitai has no wards in the triangle grass on the top lane.
Xiang Guo immediately came up with a plan. He walked around Li Fu's upper area, but passed by wild monsters twice without spawning them and without taking any supplies. Finally, he went straight to the top lane.
Li Fu glanced at the jungle area, seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but ping the signal a few more times.
I have to say that in this game, the long-range players in the top lane were both able to cross the line of soldiers and target people. Looper also avenged himself for being madly targeted when the crocodile was targeting the birdman in the previous game. The blood exchange in the top lane was still quite fierce.
When Zizi saw the signal, only a little over a quarter of his health was left.
At this moment, his sense of smell had already made him retreat, but when he inadvertently looked back at his sight, a sports car with low health jumped into his sight.
It was like a magnet, deeply attracting the attention of the posture.
So, he almost subconsciously stopped, set up a crooked cannon halfway, and with a burst of electric energy, he fired an acceleration cannon straight at the low-health artillery vehicle.
But the next second,
A shocking scene appeared.
Ziti stopped because he was greedy for the low-health cannon cart, but he didn't know if it was because he was too anxious or his hands were shaking, or maybe both, but in any case, the cannon he fired out with a crooked aim actually missed the cannon cart.
Even more dramatically,
At this time, the figure of the spicy hotpot troll appeared from the triangular grass.
Pillar of Ice!
Mala Xiangguo's E showed his proficiency in the Troll. He didn't just use it for fun. He directly pushed Zeus into the corner and made him slid twice on the spot.
"Oh my god!"
Zizi let out a strange cry, used flash and wanted to enter the tower.
However, Mala Xiang Guo and Looper would never miss such a good opportunity and they both flashed away.
At 2 minutes and 57 seconds, Looper's Gnar used a boomerang with its cooldown turned on to kill the enemy.
"RNG-Looper killed IG-Zz1tai!"
"First Blood!"
The moment the first blood was exploded, the RNG fans at the scene cheered and then started to mock.
"It's so funny, this Jessie Q can even be crooked?"
"Being greedy for soldiers also missed the artillery cart. Oh, this is the most infuriating thing."
"In the last game, Quinn was so overconfident that he refused to leave the jungle even though the signal was broken. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
“…”
The live broadcast room was filled with comments.
In the IG competition seat, Zzitai's face didn't look very good either, and he glanced at Li Fu and Rookie with some guilt.
"I'm really stupid, really."
"That's pretty stupid." Rookie said unhappily, "Brother Fu told you to leave, so you just left."
"I saw Brother Fu signaling in the jungle, and I thought the opponent was going to attack our jungle first." Zizi whispered, and then comforted his teammates, "It's okay, it's okay, let's learn from the ancient WE. I'll give away the first blood and you guys can be the C."
"Shit." Rookie looked down on him.
Li Fu did not say much. When the troll showed up in the top lane just now, he made sure that the opponent had left his jungle and had already cleared the red buff. Now he went straight to the middle lane.
"There is no flash in the top lane, we can catch him." Li Fu said.
In fact, his [Father Energy Mark] in this game also appeared in the top lane.
Zzitai resurrected and used TP to go online. After hearing Li Fu's words, he looked a little excited, but when he saw Li Fu and Olaf moving towards the middle lane, his face fell again.
"Brother Fu, you are a bit hypocritical." Zizi complained.
"I'm just laying the groundwork." Li Fu smiled.
"I'm in the top lane, how can I prepare for the middle lane?" Zizi was speechless.
Even Rookie had a puzzled look on his face, but the next second, Li Fu walked out directly from the grass in the river on the upper side of the middle road, picked up the axe and smashed it on Xiaohu's face.
Xiaohu's health is quite healthy right now, and apart from normal last-hitting and line control, there is no blood exchange in the lane.
Although he was playing Syndra, Xiaohu was always very stable (Song) in such crucial games.
Not to mention Syndra, even if he gets a Yasuo, Xiaohu's E will probably always be facing backwards.
Therefore, he guessed that Li Fu might come to the middle lane after clearing the upper half.
After all, after Zzitai died and came back online in the top lane, the troops were pushed towards their top lane tower, leaving no chance for ganking, which meant that the opponent could only look for opportunities in his middle lane if they wanted to gank.
But Xiaohu didn't expect Li Fu to come so soon.
And he just walked straight up like that.
"Arresting people like this?"
Xiaohu was stunned for a second, thinking there was an ambush, he quickly stepped back with Flash in his hand.
However, Xiaohu even got hit by an axe because of his nervousness, but the combined efforts of Olaf on the opposite side and Clockwork who crossed the line of soldiers did not even force him to flash, and only reduced his health to about one third.
Just when Xiaohu was holding the flash and ready to use it at any time, the Olaf on the opposite side had no intention of fighting to the death. He just called off the attack and turned around to return the same way.
The Clockwork who was laning against him acted as if nothing had happened and simply retreated behind the line of soldiers to continue last-hitting.
While Xiaohu under the tower breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little empty for a moment because he was not caught.
That's it? That's all?
At the same time, the three commentators at the commentary desk couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads.
"Brother Fu was a bit reckless in this capture. He not only exposed his position, but also failed to capture the person."
"Yes, mainly because I felt that he wasn't that determined in his grasp. He didn't even sprint. I guess this might be because he felt that it was unlikely that he would be able to kill him when he came out of the grass."
"But then again, although Fu Ge's gank failed to kill Xiaohu, at least he lowered his health. Now Rookie has the lane control in the middle lane."
That is true.
Originally, the blood exchange between the two sides in the middle lane was evenly matched, and the military line was always in the middle of the river.
No one can claim to have an advantage.
But now that Xiaohu's health is low, Rookie's Clockwork can take the opportunity to push the line, which is equivalent to taking control of the middle lane at once, which is a real fact.
Isn't this just plain disgusting?
In the middle lane, Xiaohu finally came to his senses.
However, his health was only about one-third at the moment, and he saw Rookie pushing a wave of soldiers towards him.
In order to prevent the opponent from scoring twice and then going around the tower, Xiaohu quickly gave a ping signal to Mala Xiangguo who was clearing Sanlang's position in the upper half of his own area.
"Guozi, help me hide for a while, I feel the opposing jungler is still there." Xiaohu said.
Xiang Guo's eyes lit up when he heard this.
I'm not afraid of you being here.
I’m just afraid you won’t come.
He immediately said, "It's okay, just go ahead and finish off the enemy. I'll protect you."
When Xiaohu heard this, he felt a little relieved.
At the same time, the commentator on the stage was also commenting on the details of the previous two waves of jungle rhythm.
"I feel that Fu Ge's rhythm in this jungle game is not as good as Xiang Guo's."
Wawa recalled the first blood that Spicy Hotpot had just caught in the top lane, and said slowly, "Look, in this game, IG's lineup played top and jungle in the early stage, while RNG played mid and jungle. However, due to poor protection in the early stage, IG's Jayce in the top lane had already died once, and the kill was also taken by Looper's Gnar. If there is no big reversal, it will be difficult for Jayce to make a difference in the early stage."
"Yes. In addition, Fu Ge may have been a little impatient after seeing Xiang Guo successfully ganked the enemy. His unsuccessful gank in the middle lane, which exposed his position, was not very good. Because RNG now has a chance, we can see that Xiang Guo's troll did not go down after killing three wolves, but hid directly behind the middle tower."
Miller paused, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a wry smile: "This means that if Brother Fu wants to try to flank then follow up with the gank just now, it will be exactly what RNG wants..."
Unexpectedly, before Miller finished speaking, PDD suddenly exclaimed, "Eh? I saw Olaf's movement... It seems that he is not trying to catch the middle, he went around to the upper half of RNG."
Miller was stunned when his analysis was interrupted, and subconsciously glanced at the small map, "Is he trying to counter-jungle? But RNG's upper zone has been cleared by Xiang Guo, and Olaf coming to counter-jungle at this time... This reaction time is a bit too long..."
"wrong!"
This time it was the doll that interrupted Miller.
Because on the big screen, the director's camera has already been focused on the road.
At this time, the Loop er on the top lane got the first blood and then stayed in the lane for a wave. After Zzitai's Jayce TPed to the line, he scratched the top lane twice to exchange for a wave of blood before hiding in the bush and going home.
This is a very common snowball detail in the top lane.
When he TPed online from home, his Gary was at full health, but Zzitai's Jayce was not, so Gary's advantage in the laning phase would naturally be greater.
Correspondingly, when Looper returned home, Zzitai took this opportunity to push the line in.
As expected, Looper's Gnar saw the soldiers entering the tower and directly TPed to the defense tower.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Development is always the top priority in the single lane. If you want to save TP to support other lanes at the expense of development, it is undoubtedly a very unwise choice in the early stage of the game.
The problem is, as soon as Looper's Gnar TP landed, a rotating purple beam of light appeared again on the melee soldier in front of the tower that was being hit by the tower.
The director's camera immediately cut over.
"Ah? This TP?!"
The doll on the stage was stunned for just a second, then quickly reacted, "Oh, this TP is to the middle lane. Rookie's Clockwork TPed directly to the top lane after pushing the line."
"Looper realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, but Olaf, who was deep in the jungle with double buffs, rushed up with an axe to cover his retreat. Zzitai's Jayce also pressed forward. Little Gnar was caught in a dilemma. This wave was a three-way gank."
"That's right. Looper had already used his flash when he was cooperating with Xiangguo to catch Zizi. He didn't use flash this time."
"Yes, and Xiaohu's Syndra just cleared the tower and is reading the recall function under the tower. He is almost out of mana and has only one-third of his health. He can't TP down at all."
"I'm afraid I can't run away. Let's see if I can find another one."
"No chance, we can't switch. Jayce will take the tower first and leave after finishing his attack. Gnar wants to use E to jump and pull, but he can't. Olaf's axe! Oh! Brother Fu got the kill!"
"Yes, IG has a clear division of labor in tower defense, so there is no chance to change."
Along with the extremely fast commentary, another kill was immediately shown on the big screen.
"IG-Padre6 killed RNG-Looper!"
The moment the shocking kill notification sounded, the RNG fans in the audience who had been cheering excitedly for Mala Xiangguo's capture not long ago were suddenly interrupted and subconsciously raised their hands to check the time.
3 minutes 47 seconds.
Less than a minute had passed since Mala Xiangguo got the first blood at 2 minutes and 57 seconds, and only 50 seconds passed before another kill broke out to retaliate.
hiss-!
The junglers on both sides are too reckless!
In the competition seat on the right side of the stage, Mala Xiangguo, who was squatting in the middle lane, was stunned for a second. The series of operations by Li Fu in front of him suddenly made him shudder all over, and his face instantly became very ugly.
Got fooled!
It can even be said that the jungler's IQ was shown off.
At this point, he didn't understand why Li Fu had just come to catch a mid laner who was impossible to kill without any warning, and even caused a lot of people to laugh at him.
He didn't want to kill the tiger at all.
It’s not to disgust Xiaohu.
From the very beginning, the opponent was like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong, and his goal from beginning to end was to get on the road.
Coming to the middle lane was just to lower Xiaohu's health and let Rookie's Clockwork take control of the lane, so that he could return to the city to replenish his status first, and then TP directly to the top lane to catch one of the three.
On the other hand, Xiaohu's team was slowed down by the soldiers entering the tower.
One step slow, every step slow.
As for myself, after killing three wolves, I didn't even go to kill F4, but just hunkered behind the tower.
Spicy hotpot thinks:
At this moment, from the director's perspective, I must look like a lonely goose squatting in the middle!
Damn!
I'm so fucking angry!
Why are these people so sinister? !
