Chapter 150: Can’t beat both of them?
During the stage of adjusting rune talents, Maokai and VG team's new coach PoohManDu once again emphasized the matters that need to be paid attention to in tactical systems and mid-term operations.
The countdown is over and you walk to the center of the stage.
After shaking hands, they exited through the dedicated passages on both sides.
Enter the reading interface.
Blue side: EDG
Red side: VG
Top: Shen vs. Maokai
Jungle: Gragas vs Lee Sin
Mid: Syndra vs Viktor
AD: Policewoman vs Varus
Support: Lao Niu vs Lulu
"Don't be nervous. General's skill with Shen won't be very high since he has never practiced with a Korean or Chinese server ."
Easyhoon relayed the new top laner's instructions to the coach through communication.
Unlike some Korean players who basically don’t use Chinese to communicate and just collect salaries to get by.
Although Eas yhoon did not achieve particularly good results after joining VG, he put in a lot of effort.
After all, in the S5 season, when the version had not yet been updated and the concept of heavy-armored warriors had not yet been introduced, it was he who led SKT to win one battle after another.
When you are only half a step away from the highest glory and can reach it with your hand.
Faker became the starting mid laner.
That battle.
SKT defeated KOO with a score of 3-1.
When holding the trophy, the others were extremely excited.
Easyhoon couldn't laugh.
A few months later, the champion skin appeared. Ryze, carrying the trophy, stood in the center of the team with a domineering look.
After working hard for a season, he became a shadow czar serving as a foil.
An emotion called "reluctance" then grew.
If he had just arrived in LPL, Easyhoon would value the treatment offered by the VG team.
Since then, what I want more is to prove myself.
Even though he has been silent for a whole year and is a little confused, Easyhoon is confident that he can start again in the new season after seeing his old teammate Bengi join him.
EDG?
It's just a temporary blockage!
"Ten heroes enter Summoner's Rift, let's see how to handle the start!"
"Stand apart..."
"That means there is no plan for a first-level group."
Miller made an analysis based on the actual situation: "As for the jungle, Lee Sin has a higher win rate, but Gragas is not inferior in the confrontation level."
"And the factory manager's barrel has been his special skill since last season."
While talking.
The director displayed the final talent selection at the bottom of the big screen.
The four heroes, Syndra, Viktor, Lee Sin, and Lulu, are all decrees of the Thunder Lord.
It can be seen that after Kappa switched from mid lane to support, his style still focuses on offense.
The three front-row heroes are Maokai, Gragas , and Enchantress, and they are equipped with the standard Courage of the Colossus, which has the effect of hitting the enemy hero with strong control and triggering a temporary shield that lasts for 4 seconds.
In order to consume the line, the policewoman and Varus each have a War Lord's Bloodlust.
The only exception is Shen, who has War Fervor.
"After the update, War Fervor changed from collateral damage to increasing panel attack power. It can not only be used for normal attacks, but also skills can be improved from it."
“There is a clear increase.”
Wawa finally encountered an aspect that could show her understanding.
but.
Not all.
Another key change is that the duration of War Fervor has been increased from 4 seconds to 6 seconds, and the upper limit has been reduced from 10 layers to 8 layers.
Four normal attacks, or skills that count as normal attacks, can be stacked up to the maximum.
It is very useful against tank heroes who do not have strong counterattack capabilities.
To this.
VG's new top laner Onion was attacked, and after knowing that Shen had the talent that tended to focus on continuous fighting, he became extremely alert.
The so-called man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Even though Onion was confident enough after being invincible in the city championship, he was still a little nervous when facing an opponent who was so powerful in the world finals.
"Onion is a little hesitant to exchange blood."
"I got hit once, then a second time, a third time... I used my Q skill in return, but was hit by Shen's W again, so the damage I received was basically ineffective."
“What a loss!”
Miller watched the battle on the screen.
Perhaps the most popular position in the EDG team is the factory manager.
The most watched position is undoubtedly the top laner.
So, the director randomly switched the perspective half a circle and locked onto Shen .
"I found that General has a characteristic, that is, even if he didn't practice much, he could still perform very well in the competition." Wawa recalled: "For example, Gnar, Gragas, and Ryze before."
"There are two possibilities." Miller guessed: "One is to practice secretly with a trumpet, and when you have a certain level of proficiency, you can directly use it in the training match to avoid exposing your tactics."
"Many players do this before crucial games."
"There is another type, which is that General is not used well, but no matter how badly it is used, it is only to this extent."
The previous statement is normal.
Professional players who have spare time will do some hiding.
The latter is more exaggerated.
The lower limit is equal to or even higher than the upper limit of others, which is really an outrageous situation.
"I think it should be a sneak attack."
"Because General's control of the Blue Steel Shadow is not particularly smooth."
The doll speaks its mind.
As a commentator of a professional league, even if I have never eaten pork, I have seen the old IG team weighing more than 1,000 kilograms run away.
They all have very sharp eyesight.
What we observe is not only the advantages and disadvantages, but also the specific performance.
On the court.
Although Shen was beating up Maokai, he was obviously a little unfamiliar with the coordination between attacking and pulling back, as well as attacking and last-hitting.
Occasionally, you may end up neglecting one thing while focusing on another.
This is indeed the case.
Xing Dao has never drawn the proficiency card for Shen, so during this period of time, he has been relying entirely on practice to improve.
It is relatively easy to go from blank to elite level, and it only takes a few dozen games.
It is much more difficult to go from elite to grandmaster.
One Rank increase is 1/1000 to 5/1000.
The training matches were better, with three to five times more.
However, after reaching 99.99%, it got stuck and I didn't upgrade even after playing more than a dozen games.
It seems to be just a step away.
In fact, there is a world of difference.
Grandmaster level is equivalent to the main force of a top team, and is an absolute pillar in most teams.
The elite, even those with maximum proficiency, are just mediocre ones above the passing line.
There aren't many highlights, so it's just make do.
Therefore, after VG top laner Onion got over the initial nervousness, he found that the pressure was not as great as he had imagined.
After some adjustments, we gradually stabilized our position.
Use binding to avoid Shen's tactical sweep, and the Q skill triggers the Colossus' shield, resulting in a blood exchange without damage or even with a healing effect.
A while later.
Onion refills status and updates equipment.
I feel like I can call in the jungler to try to kill him.
Think about it.
I don't know how to say it in English.
So, two 'request for support' signals were sent.
Bengi joined a new team and wanted to perform well in his debut stage, but he didn't achieve anything in the early stages.
Because Viktor in the middle lane could only respond passively when facing Syndra.
In the bottom lane, the Varus and Lulu combination is stronger than the Policewoman and Altaïr, but the problem that comes with being strong is that the opponent will never give them any chances.
I confronted the factory manager twice but didn't gain any advantage.
Just when I didn't know how to start the rhythm, I saw Onion's call.
He immediately controlled the blind monk and walked over.
"Bengi should be caught on this route. Onion is deliberately selling blood to trick people."
"General bought Radiance and Longsword after Doran's Blade, which have no defensive attributes and may be dangerous."
Miller saw it.
Maokai's passive [Mystic Energy Absorption] and Shen's W skill [Tactical Sweep] can both be effective against minions, and their endurance is comparable.
The fight dragged on slowly and there was basically nothing either side could do.
A head-on confrontation is different.
When the adaptive shield that comes with Shen is upgraded to level 7, the cooldown time is only 15 seconds, which is more than half shorter than the Treant's talent "Courage of the Colossus".
Plus the 'War Fervor' boost.
In terms of attack, shield, and health recovery, the current version of Shen has the upper hand in all aspects.
Xing Dao still adopts the most violent main E point allocation.
The second E hits the tree, which not only causes nearly 200 actual damage while stunning it, but more importantly, it gains a 70% attack speed bonus, pushing the panel attribute to 1.08, and adding two more A hits while the tree is unable to move.
With a series of combos, the tree in Onion's hand was reduced to half health.
After a few seconds, Lee Sin with the red BUFF appeared at the edge of the range that the trinket's eye could detect.
Bengi is here!
"Go, you can't beat both of them."
The factory manager was busy reminding in the voice channel.
Even though Xing Dao's performance was no longer as daring as before during this period, the impression left by Vayne in the World Finals was too deep.
So much so that whenever an abnormality is discovered, the factory manager will first worry about whether there will be problems on the road.
However, the worry is obviously unnecessary.
Xing Dao had already raised his awareness to 95 points, which was enough to deal with various situations.
Seeing Dashu's extremely abnormal behavior, he guessed that a jungler would appear.
During the fight, we always left room for maneuver and remained vigilant.
When he spotted Lee Sin, he retreated immediately.
but……
Just when we were about to return to a safe place.
Xing Dao vaguely felt something special, and a lavender light flashed across his eyes.
Changed behavior immediately.
"The tree isn't far enough away, General can pull it apart... Eh?!"
Wawa's heart, which had just been at peace, began to hang in the air again: "Why did the General take a half step back? Something is going to go wrong!"
The words haven't finished yet.
VG top laner Onion used flash without hesitation and entered the shooting range.
Use W skill [Twisted Stab]!
The big tree turned into a ball of arcane energy and rushed towards the Steel Shadow at high speed!
At this time, Xing Dao seemed to have made another stupid move. He actually flashed backwards while being locked by Maokai's W, wasting a key displacement opportunity.
Tied up.
Hit by an [Arcane Smash].
What's even more outrageous is that when he was hit by Lee Sin's Q skill, he used his ultimate skill [Hextech Ultimatum] to dodge the second part of [Echo Slam].
All the possible mistakes have been made...
Seeing this, Bengi used R flash decisively.
During the charging process, teleport in front of Shen to change the judgment angle.
The reason why WR is not placed a ward is because the pursuit route is relatively long and the current position is already at the edge of the protection range of the blue side's outer tower.
The barrel could emerge from the shadows at any moment.
In order to kill the enemy, it is definitely worth using flash to buy some time.
But before that.
Xing Dao's fingers swept across the keyboard like a dragonfly skimming the water.
E, [Hook]!
Q, [Precise etiquette]!
A, normal attack lock!
Before the knockback judgment appeared, two sharp steel cables shot out from the waist of the Blue Steel Shadow, and his scissor-like legs made a light kicking motion.
Bang——
There was a crash.
The Blue Steel Shadow involuntarily flew backwards... one body length.
The moment the tip of the steel cable that was released in advance touched the wall, it pulled the hero back and made the third turn in an instant, hitting between the two heroes, Lee Sin and Maokai!
Bengi had just used his W skill to reach his teammates and leave the range of the defensive tower when he was pushed back by this knee strike!
Stunned for one second, absolutely!
Xing Dao calmly input the normal attack commands.
After raising your hand, press the Q key immediately.
After an interval of 1.5 seconds, the attack that was enhanced by 20% and had a glow effect had converted 73% of the real damage!
Qing Gangying leaped into the air, and kicked from bottom to top with his knife leg, completing a 360-degree spinning kick!
-91!
-42!
-171!
Two red and one white, three numbers jumped up one after another.
Combined with the previous QE and two tower attacks, the Lee Sin, who had only 948 health points, was reduced to a low health state.
Bengi hadn't moved yet and was hit by another normal attack and a blue beam.
Everything went dark.
The body fell to the ground.
Above the big screen, a system prompt floated up.
EDG General (Shin) killed VG Bengi (Bengi)!
“66666666——”
“666666——”
"wocao!"
“So handsome!”
"Brother Jie is awesome!"
"Walking in the air? Zigzag shaking?"
"What's the principle behind this?"
"Bengi feels so bad hahahahaha."
"Welcome back to the era of General rule!"
"It seems like I want Brother Jie to be my dorm manager."
The barrage exploded instantly.
1v2 counter kill.
Never mind what the principle is, just blow it!
"Wow, wow, wow, how did General do this?"
Wawa didn't understand at all: "Even though he was knocked away by Lee Sin's R, he was able to use his E skill while being knocked into the air and knocked Bengi back."
"Hmm... maybe it's the mechanism of the Blue Steel Shadow."
Miller didn’t know much about the new hero, so he simply put it aside and began to explain the actual combat scenes: “Bengi gave General a fresh red buff, and Onion can’t seem to get away!”
As a player who has never played in a professional league, VG's new top laner Onion was a little hesitant in his judgment.
There is no direct escape.
Instead, he stayed where he was and tried to save Bengi.
This attempt.
He got himself involved as well.
Xing Dao brought the red BUFF and chased all the way. Even if he was pushed away, he could still use the W skill [Tactical Sweep] to continue delaying the tree.
Wait until the next E cools down, exert strong control, and block the retreat.
AQAQ takes off the head.
Double kill achieved!
The reason why this operation was possible was that at the moment Bengi approached, the proficiency that was stuck at the elite 99.9% broke through the last layer of shackles and was elevated to the grandmaster level.
It's like diving into ice water on a scorching hot summer day.
All kinds of thoughts instantly changed from vague to clear.
then.
Xing Dao no longer chose to pull away directly, but deliberately turned back, relying on the high priority judgment of Shen's E skill to set a trap for Bengi and Onion.
First blood, double kill.
Seven hundred gold coins were pocketed.
Xing Daocai turned around as if waking up from a dream: "Um, Brother Changzi, what did you just say?"
