Wawa's statement that "CLG should consider the next BP after ten minutes" simply added fuel to the fire, causing the barrage in the LPL event live broadcast room to flood the screen with comments.
"Hey, hey! Isn't this a bit too shrimpy and porky?"
"Don't say that! Don't say that! Don't say that!"
"To be honest, CLG was in a state of disarray after 10 minutes."
"Don't get too cocky, don't get too cocky, or you'll get caught up next time."
"Haha, I don't care whether it's inflated or not, but I am happy to see the Sima faces of European and American losers."
"That's right, aren't they dancing? Then this must be put on a show!"
“…”
After this game, several CLG players from the North American region were knocked down from the clouds.
Before the game, both the players and spectators in the North American region felt that the game was just a fight and that it was a 50-50 chance of winning against anyone.
This idea is very European and American.
But now that the game is over and they are backstage, CLG's coach tried to summarize the mistakes from the previous game, but found that there were not many mistakes at all.
From the beginning to the end, the Nidalee seemed to have turned on the perspective, constantly pinging the position of their jungler Lee Sin, which only means that Xmithie's movements were seen through from the beginning of the game.
As for the Korean mid laner Huhi in the team.
To be honest, this is the first time that the CLG coach feels that this mid laner is too cowardly.
It's not noticeable when playing against weaker opponents, but once he plays against a top mid laner like Rookie, his true colors are immediately revealed and he starts to become timid.
The CLG coach even felt that even if they didn't use Korean aid, they could just use a North American mid laner.
He doesn't dare to talk about the details of the laning phase, but at least in the opening wave, the North American mid laner would rather die than run away. He would rather lose the battle than the formation. The North American mid laner has never lacked momentum.
At this time, jungler Xmithie also felt that his Korean mid laner performed very poorly today.
If the gap is not too big, it is difficult for people to find problems in themselves.
In the last game, Xmithie's head was buzzing at one point because of Li Fu's arrangements.
But after the game, he calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly felt that it "might not" be his problem.
No, it’s not his problem.
If the mid laner had not been so cowardly at the beginning and gave away the first blood to Nidalee, causing the opponent's mid laner to have a TP gap, then if he had cleared one less set of wild monsters and caught the next wave at a different time, it would have been a surprise attack, and Ryze would have had no chance of supporting it.
However, the reality was that as soon as he appeared in the bottom lane, Ryze TPed down from the sky.
What the hell are you catching?
Xmithie became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, feeling that the jungle explosion in the last game was purely a chain reaction of the mid lane trap.
He glanced at the CLG coach who was hesitant to speak, and said decisively, "It's impossible to play around the middle lane. The opponent's mid and jungle are too strong, especially the mid laner. I can't perform at all."
"Then how do you think we should play?" The CLG coach looked at Xmithie.
This veteran who has been competing in the North American region since S1 is very experienced, and the coach also wants to hear his opinions.
"Attack the bottom lane."
Xmithie said without hesitation, "In the early laning phase of the last game, our only advantage was in the bottom lane, and the jungler could only snowball if he cooperated with the advantage lane."
"Okay, let's play 3v3 this time." The CLG coach nodded, paused, and then turned to Huhi and said, "If we play this way, we don't need to use Leblanc in the mid lane this time, and we can also save a ban for Lich Queen."
After these words were spoken, Huhi, who was a high-scoring assassin in the Korean server, lowered his head and remained silent.
If he played well in the last game, I would definitely give him some praise. Why don’t you let me play LeBron?
The problem is that in the last game, he was taken first blood at the beginning, and was killed by two Qs of Nidalee in the last wave. It was really a war criminal-level performance, so even if he was unhappy, he had to suppress it.
However, at this moment Huhi sneered in his heart.
You all think the mid lane is unreliable, right? Do you really think the two smart guys in the bottom lane are reliable?
…
The short break between games is over.
The game starts again.
The camera turned to the commentary booth, and the three commentators began to warm up for the second game after the usual opening.
"Okay, this time CLG chooses the side, but CLG still chooses the red side."
"Yes, it seems that they attach great importance to the selection of the last counter position."
Enter BP on the big screen.
Blue side IG: Thresh, Troll and Poppy.
Red side CLG: Nidalee, Graves and Skate.
As soon as the ban options of both sides came out, the commentator on the stage showed a look of surprise.
"Eh? It's not easy. There are teams that don't ban 'Two Balls and One Ji' in the mid lane. This is an epic enhancement of the Rookie version."
"Haha, it's mainly because IG's jungler is performing so well. Now any team must consider how to target the jungler when facing IG."
"Yes, and CLG didn't ban Ashe in this game. I wonder what hero their mid laner Huhi will choose this time? But it seems that he will most likely not play an assassin again."
"I'm more curious about what hero Fu Ge will choose now that he doesn't have Nidalee and Graves?"
“…”
Accompanied by the voice of commentary, the two sides exchanged words.
Soon, the lineup for the second game gradually surfaced.
IG on the blue side: Jayce on top, Lee Sin on jungle, Ahri on mid, Annie and Leona on bottom lane.
Red side CLG: top lane Rumble, jungle Kha'Zix, mid lane Twisted Fate, bottom lane Varus and Alistar.
As soon as this lineup came out, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room couldn't help but scroll across the screen.
"Turtle! Teaching the backhand blind monk, is Brother Fu also starting to make trouble?"
"Xmithie is getting anxious! He even pulled out the Mantis. This thing was only used once in the spring season, right?"
"Don't underestimate him. Who doesn't have a hidden weapon in the World Championship? Who knows, this might be Xmithie's unique skill."
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
"I think this is the last-ditch lineup. No one in the LPL has played Varus ADC this season."
“…”
The live broadcast room was filled with joy.
When the regional battle really came, even if the audience had disliked IG for various reasons in the past, when they saw IG crushing the European and American teams in the first game, they inexplicably felt a sense of pride in their hearts.
Soon, the game loading was completed and both sides entered the Summoner's Rift.
"We can see that Fu Ge's Lee Sin still starts from the bottom red zone. Brushing from the bottom to the top can be said to be a traditional skill of Fu Ge. Although there are occasional exceptions, this is the case in most cases.
"Well, because IG's bottom lane is left to its own devices by default... ahem, so they don't need much help in the early stages. Only by ganking from the bottom up can we maximize our ganking efficiency."
"However, CLG's mid laner Huhi didn't play an assassin but instead picked out the versatile hero, Card. Card is definitely used to set the tempo in the side lane, but I don't know whether he should play top or bottom?"
"I feel like it should be the bottom lane. Look at Xmithie's Kha'Zix. He starts with the red buff in this Fu Ge mirror, but he clears from top to bottom, so he must be going to catch the bottom lane."
At this moment, Guan Zeyuan suddenly said, "But the hero Mantis is not easy to catch people in the early stage, right? IG's bottom lane is so stable, I feel it will be difficult to do anything."
Facts have proved that Guan Zeyuan had a talent for poisonous milk during this period.
In fact, at the beginning, IG's female tank who was shooting at Coco in the bottom lane could use AQA to clear wards, and stand in the bush with the opponent's support Minotaur. After clearing the opponent's wards, they had some advantages.
But this advantage is not based on “I have what others don’t” in the bottom lane.
The female tank who shot Coco used AQA to instantly eliminate the opponent's Minotaur's ward in the bush against the wall in the bottom lane, but her own ward was given to Rookie in the middle lane when she was standing guard in the early stage, which was equivalent to saving a protective eye for Rookie.
After all, the point control of the hero Card's flash yellow card is too disgusting, and the opponent's mid laner likes to exchange blood so much, there is no guarantee that Mantis will see an opportunity and not clear the middle lane again. The eye placed by Sheko on the river grass below the middle lane at the beginning of the game is equivalent to giving Rookie an insurance in advance.
As for the bottom lane, he instantly cleared the wards of the opposing support Bull, which meant that everyone was starting from the same starting line.
But CLG's support Minotaur in the bottom lane played this game very carefully. He rubbed against the edge of the bushes to block the vision, and was stunned by Leona after her Q skill CD was ready.
It's nothing.
The problem was with Xiao Shiguang's Annie. He wanted to reach level 2 and attack Minotaur, but unexpectedly, CLG's Varus used a charged Q to kill two ranged soldiers and reached level 2 before them.
Why did CLG choose Minotaur ?
Because the hero Minotaur can counter Annie, his WQ can break the shield and knock the opponent away.
The original level 1 Minotaur was harmless, but the Minotaur who was upgraded to level 2 in an instant used WQ to knock the opponent away and ignite in one go, then chased the bottom lane and A to the front of the tower, and directly A-ed Xiao Xiaoguang's Annie.
In professional competitions, you can't just go home when you run out of blood. You have to bleed to go home.
IG's bottom lane was originally planning to take one more wave of soldiers before the opponent's Mantis finished clearing the jungle and came to the bottom lane, but Xmithie saw an opportunity in the bottom lane and didn't take a single wild monster in the lower half of the area, and rushed directly to the bottom lane.
When the soldiers enter the tower, Minotaur uses WQ to hold on first, and then flashes out of the tower.
But in the blink of an eye, at 2 minutes and 34 seconds, a wave of kills came from the bottom lane.
"Wow! CLG played the bottom lane really well."
"That's right, IG was a bit careless. Xiao Shiguang shouldn't have taken that step forward."
"I don't think Xiao Shiguang can be blamed. The main reason was that the female tank who was shooting Coco had stunned the Minotaur with AQA. Xiao Shiguang wanted to deal some damage first. Anyway, the Minotaur at level 1 wasn't a big threat. Who would have thought that Varus's charged arrow didn't consume them, but instead killed two ranged soldiers and went straight to level 2."
"That's right, the second-level Minotaur can use WQ in a row, and the charge ability has directly evolved."
"Now that CLG got the kill so quickly in the bottom lane, they must have gained the lane control in the bottom lane. I just wonder if it will cause any chain reactions like the last game when Fu Ge got the kill at the beginning?"
"Ah, that shouldn't be the case, right? If that were the case, IG would be in trouble."
"Wait a minute! Fu Ge's Lee Sin has also come to the top lane. CLG's Rumble has been trading blood with Jayce. Now the troops are pushing towards the CLG tower. IG also has some ideas."
"But Card just set an eye on IG's F4 camp and saw that the wild monsters there were cleared. I feel like CLG should have guessed Fu Ge's location, right? This is easy to guess at the beginning of the game."
Sure enough, as soon as Miller finished speaking, the card showed Li Fu's location.
But he pinged a little slowly.
When Huhi was pinging the upper blue zone, Li Fu had already taken the blue and went around to the triangle grass on CLG's top lane.
In the CLG competition seat.
"The opposing jungler is on top!" said Huhi.
"Then I'll leave?" Rambo asked.
"No, no, I can tank. You're under the tower and I can tank."
Huhi interrupted immediately, looking at the line of soldiers in the middle lane that was being pushed forward by him by constantly cutting red cards, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He is not afraid of IG catching him, he is just afraid of IG not catching him!
When facing the hero Card in a laning match, unless the opponent gives up for sure, there is basically no hope of getting a kill in the lane.
But how could Huhi, who was used to playing the assassin, not want to get a kill? So he could only think about it from the side lanes.
You know, although the opponent's Ahri also brought TP this time.
But even if the opponent TPs to the top lane with him, they can completely rely on the defensive tower to do 2V3 when crossing the tower.
Not to mention that the hero Card also has yellow card point control.
As long as the person defending the tower is given a yellow card and made to stand under the tower, the opponent will be defeated.
The CLG top laner also understood Huhi's implication. Although he was unhappy that the other side was using him as a bait, he was at a disadvantage in the early stage when Rumble exchanged blood with Jayce in the lane, and he had to think of a way to break the deadlock, so he nodded in agreement.
At the LPL commentary desk, the commentator quickly discovered the clues.
"Eh? CLG's top laner isn't leaving yet?"
"It should be because the mid lane Card has a tank to support him, so he is not panicking."
"Well, I feel like if IG really does this, something bad is going to happen. They'd better think it over carefully."
"Eh? You're still going to attack! Brother Fu is here to kill!"
Under the director's lens on the big screen, Jayce hit the tower with an EQ shockwave. The level 4 Rambo, who was just over half health under the tower, lost a little health again. Then Jayce switched to the form of Sky Leap and smashed under the tower.
How dare you come to me!
CLG's top laner was both surprised and happy!
Sure enough, the next second, TP lit up on the top lane defense tower.
You fell into the trap!
However, when the North American LCS commentators began to get excited, the rapidly rotating purple light of the top lane defense tower suddenly disappeared, and only a lonely Rambo was left under the tower.
What the hell?
The North American commentator was stunned.
The CLG top laner who was sneering under the tower was dumbfounded!
Of course, the one who was even more dumbfounded was CLG's Korean mid laner Huhi. Looking at the interrupted teleport and the sudden appearance of Ahri, how could he not understand what was happening? The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Wow! Rookie's play was really team-like!"
"Yes, you see, under the mid lane tower, almost a wave and a half of soldiers entered the tower, but Rookie refused to take any of them. He was looking for Huhi's position as soon as his card disappeared."
"No wonder! No wonder Brother Fu dared to cross the tower! This time I knew you were plotting against me, so I used your trick against you!"
As the commentator sighed, another kill soon appeared on the big screen.
Even though Rambo used his flash, he was still hit by Li Fu's Lee Sin's predicted Q and was killed directly.
When Zzitai's Jayce flashed out, he was very careful and stood at the edge with his maximum health to help Li Fu hold the tower for a while longer. This allowed Li Fu, who was chasing Rambo around the tower, to escape safely.
All of a sudden, the number of heads in the game was directly 1:1.
CLG's top laner is a bit of a pain in the ass.
I was killed by the tower and put in jail last time, and I was killed by the tower again this time and put in jail. What’s the use of my Rambo?
CLG said to jungler Xmithie with a somewhat unhappy tone, "Man, I think you can really help the top lane in this game, or do you think you can beat the opponent with four people?"
Xmithie heard the displeasure in the former's tone, and thought about how he was caught badly in the top lane in the previous game.
In this game, the opponent starts with red in the lower half and moves upwards, so there is a high probability that we will have to catch the upper part.
Thinking of this, Xmithie nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I will gank the top lane first, and keep the bottom lane stable."
The bottom lane just got the first blood, but both skills were used up, so Xmithie was a little worried.
After saying this, he placed two trinket eyes in the bushes and on the stone man opposite the red buff camp in the lower half of IG, which can be said to have completely lit up the lower half of IG.
"Eh? Xmithie's two wards are really good at defending the bottom lane."
"Yes, as long as Brother Fu enters the lower half, he will be discovered no matter which way he comes."
"Yes, we can see that after placing a ward, Mantis went straight home to his own upper zone to clear the second round of jungle."
"Hiss! Then I feel that Xmithie's plan is a bit deep."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
"Think about it, after Fu Ge finished clearing the second round of jungle in his own lower zone, he was completely exposed to the opponent's vision. He definitely couldn't catch anyone in the lower lane, so he would most likely have to look for opportunities in the upper lane. After all, Rumble didn't have flash, but Xmithie's Mantis was in position in advance, waiting for the opportunity! Didn't this counter-camp take the opponent's psychology into account?"
"Tsk tsk! It seems to be true. It seems that the European and American brothers are not reckless anymore and are interested in military tactics. This is a bit scary."
Wawa and Guan Zeyuan were analyzing the situation in unison.
At this time, Miller suddenly interrupted and said, "What if, I mean what if, what if Brother Fu didn't go to the lower half after returning home, but came directly to catch the lower half, what would happen?"
"ah?"
"this……"
Wawa and Guan Zeyuan were suddenly stuck.
At almost the same time, the director's camera also turned to Lee Sin.
I saw that Li Fu was at level 4 when he caught the upper group last time. Although he updated his equipment when he went home this time, Li Fu didn't seem to be in a hurry to upgrade and had no intention of entering his own lower zone at all.
The blind monk went straight to the bottom lane without leaving any trace.
What the hell?
The three commentators on the LPL stage looked at each other in bewilderment.
Under normal circumstances, the jungler's efficiency in clearing the jungle in professional competitions is also a standard for measuring the jungler's strength. Basically, they will rush to clear all the wild monsters as soon as they reset. This requires a top jungler to also take into account the time spent on the road.
But Li Fu's wave,
It’s hard to say whether it’s top or not.
However, the moment he appeared in the bottom lane, CLG's support Alistar used the same trick again and used WQ to hit his face. The next second, when he saw the unexpected Lee Sin, the smile on his face froze.
As soon as Li Fu appeared, he directly hit the lungs of CLG's bottom lane.
"Mini-head doesn't have flash, we can kill him in this wave."
"That's right, Niutou must die, Brother Fu took the head directly."
"But Brother Fu didn't leave. He and the bottom laner were still pushing the line, and the opponent's Varus was also at half health."
"CLG's jungler is in the upper half, and the mid laner Twisted Fate hasn't reached level 6 yet. We can't keep Verusta alive this time."
"Gone! Varus was forced away by Brother Fu over the defense tower!"
"Tsk tsk, there must be two waves of lanes under this tower. It feels like CLG's bottom lane is losing a lot of money all of a sudden."
"It's not just a huge loss, it's a loss that made me vomit out everything I ate."
“…”
In the CLG competition seat.
Xmithie, who had entered counter-camping mode after clearing the jungle in the upper zone, was dumbfounded when he saw Lee Sin suddenly appear in the bottom lane.
Wotfa! ?
What happened to catching him?
Why the hell are you going to the bottom lane again?
Shit!
When Xmithie thought of this, he started cursing angrily!
But what can he do?
What can I do?
It was too late to go to the bottom area at this time, and Xmithie could only go to Li Fu's top area to counter a Toad to vent his anger. Of course, Li Fu was not idle after forcing CLG to retreat from the bottom lane. He seemed to have completely guessed the movement of the Mantis, and turned directly into the jungle to counter the second round of wild monsters that had just refreshed in the bottom area of CLG.
It is equivalent to a mirror counter-jungle attack by both sides.
At the game scene, along with the director's continuous shots of the audience seats, some players from the off-season clubs were also captured by the director one after another, which caused cheers at the scene every time.
Some of them are tasks for Tencent Esports, while others are those who have nothing to do during the off-season and voluntarily buy tickets to watch the games.
When the director gave the next shot, what appeared on the big screen were EDG's Clearlove and Abu.
The man with the bowl-cut hair was wearing casual clothes today, with his hair combed neatly, looking quite handsome.
After noticing the camera, she pursed her lips and greeted the camera shyly, which immediately caused thunderous cheers from the audience.
After the factory manager finished greeting, Abu next to him nudged the factory manager's arm and asked towards the stage, "How is it?"
"Are you talking about Li Fu?" The factory director reacted immediately.
"Yes, what do you think of him?" Abu asked.
The factory manager recalled the two games, in which the opponent made calculations every ten steps, completely playing with the various calculations of the North American jungler, which fully embodied the three words "IQ jungler".
"Very impressive! The growth is incredible!" the factory manager gave a heartfelt evaluation.
After saying this, he suddenly turned to Abu and asked, "Why? You don't have any thoughts about him, do you?"
"No?" Abu smiled.
"I'm afraid I can't."
The factory manager also laughed, "Let's not talk about whether IG is willing to let him go. Even if they can let him go, how much do you think his value will increase after this world championship? How can he come to EDG to accept rotation?"
"Well, that's true." Abu sighed.
Although EDG has Ai Loli, that guy is not reliable at all, and the rumor on the internet about him being the successor to the factory manager is just for fun.
Abu has always wanted to find a rotation jungler for EDG who is cheap, good and capable.
The previous Li Fu might be suitable.
But now, after three days of absence, I'm afraid we have to look at his worth with new eyes!
…
LPL host on the commentary desk.
"Wow! Brother Fu, this jungler, really doesn't take any losses at all."
"That's right. Not only did we not suffer any loss, we took all the advantages we should have."
"The initiative of the game is now firmly in Brother Fu's hands. What do you say, Brother Fu? Do you want us to help you next? We can take the first little dragon soon."
"Eh? Brother Fu didn't go to the bottom lane. He went out to clear his own red zone and then went straight to the top lane across the canyon."
"This...don't you want Xiaolong's?"
"The key is that CLG's jungler seems to be controlled again. Xmithie probably guessed that IG was going to kill the dragon next time, so he went straight to the bottom zone. The top laner Rumble was left alone again, and his CD was not ready yet."
"Yes, although Card can use his ultimate to support, he must move up a little in the early stage. However, CLG seems to have completely misjudged Fu Ge's position this time."
"That's right. Fu Ge's Lee Sin is already level 6 this time. If Rambo doesn't retreat in time, he will be taken down directly."
From God's perspective,
The commentator's prediction soon became a reality.
After all, the CLG top laner was a professional player. He realized something was wrong when Jayce led the line into the tower. He directly signaled the stupid Mantis in the bottom lane and immediately gave up the tower attack and retreated.
But Li Fu's move made the Empress Dowager feel troubled.
Rambo had retreated to the middle of the two towers, and the next second, the nightmarish Blind Man appeared from the path in front of the second tower. When they met, he used a standard set of ward-touching, W, close-range, RQ!
The dragon wags its tail!
Tianyin wave!
Accompanied by Yiku's loud shout, Rambo was kicked and flew back.
Electric energy surges!
In mid-air, Jayce's EQ combo's shock wave came!
Immediately, the second stage of Q echo came, and with the help of Jayce who switched to warhammer form, he was really taken away in one set.
quick!
It’s really too fast!
Huhi's Card was almost at the middle lane and saw that the situation was not right. He took two steps forward, cut out the yellow card and just as he was about to use his ultimate skill, the Rambo was attacked from both sides by Li Fu and Zzitai.
fly?
Fly the fuck up!
The top laner of CLG stared at the gray screen in a daze, knowing that he had lost the game, he suddenly felt angry.
Is he really worse than IG's top laner?
I'm afraid not.
But why did these two games fail?
Huni, the Korean top laner whose value has skyrocketed in the European and American regions this year, once said something.
When a team's top laner collapses, it must be the jungler's problem.
Two words: wild distance!
So the CLG top laner who had endured two games finally cursed, and turned around and cursed, "Fuck! Why don't you come to the top lane? Didn't I tell you to come? Why don't you come! Shit!"
Xmithie was stunned by the scolding!
But he was also the first generation jungler in the North American division. Although he was a little in the wrong, he still said stubbornly, "The opponent just ganked the bottom lane, and the little dragon was also refreshed. You kept asking me to go to the top lane. How can I go?"
"Fuck!"
"Don't curse!"
"Fuck!"
“…”
Xmithie was speechless.
At this time, compared to his own irritable top laner, Xmithie was also feeling annoyed.
For a moment, he felt like his IQ was being rubbed hard on the ground, and his mind suddenly recalled the top laner who doubled Huni's value in LPL last year.
Suddenly, Xmithie thought of a question.
——If I keep fighting like this, I won’t be able to double the value of the guy on the other side, right?
This thought just came to my mind.
Xmithie shuddered involuntarily.
