Chapter 186 Day 2, vs. SKT
Version 6.24 was just updated.
With the bonuses of Rathalos, Baron Nashor, and Ancient Dragon, Rengar can reach four-digit attack power without obtaining the Kha'Zix Head Easter Egg.
Although it was nerfed by 10%, such exaggerated data is difficult to replicate in Summoner's Rift.
But at this moment, the attributes of the Warwick are still at the absolute T0 level, but because of its positioning, it has gradually been regarded as a marginal hero by the professional league.
After all, in a version dominated by phantom gods and strong control , the assassin's survival environment is worrying.
But.
When combined with Ivern, the effect is different.
Being able to jump from any position, the Warwick is no longer an assassin with strict requirements on terrain and skill CD, but a heavy-armored warrior with burst, displacement, blood recovery, and control release.
As for the proficiency issue.
Xing Dao has indeed never used the new version of Warwick, not even the most basic elite level, and this hero is indeed not worth spending a lot of time and energy to practice.
But...
I have a Grandmaster card of the tower stealing devil Strawberry in my hand.
Use times 3/3.
enough.
Make plans.
Xing Dao continued to watch the live battle on the screen with his teammates.
The RPG team, which is doing well, broke through the siege of the wild card and is quite strong.
But compared with the championship teams in the five major regions, the gap is extremely large.
Even the North American cult TSM, which performed extremely poorly in foreign wars, easily defeated RPG, who were wearing their underwear over their heads, with the performance of the new king of magic, Bjergsen, and the big brother Doublelift, and ended the battle in twenty-five and a half minutes.
In the fourth game, Flash Wolves FW played against Europe's G2. After a fierce battle, they unfortunately lost.
In the fifth game, SKT played against RPG and played a quick push for twenty-one minutes.
After the commercial break.
The game between EDG and TSM finally began.
After some Ban/Pick negotiation, the lineup was finalized.
Blue side: TSM
Red side: EDG
Top lane: Kennen vs Fiora
Jungle: Lee Sin vs Gragas
Mid: Taliyah vs Syndra
AD: EZ vs Ashe
Support: Lulu vs Lao Niu
"Kennen top lane is actually the easier choice to deal with Fiora."
"Because Kennen's [Mark of the Storm] is the same as Braum's passive [Concussive Smash], neither will cause Fiora's block to cause a counter-stun, and it does not consume stacks."
Psychedelics are quite professional in this area.
The blocking of Fiora's W skill [Laurent's Heart Eye Knife] directly makes the attack/skill/control invalid.
Since it is invalid, the control that requires stacking cannot be triggered.
Since the control cannot be triggered, Fiora's W block will naturally not be upgraded from a slowdown to a stun effect.
“So that’s how it is!”
Ze Yuan really didn't know about this kind of mechanism that must be tested in actual combat: "But the Minotaur Chieftain that EDG added is very good at countering Kennen in team battles, and the counter-control of Gragas and Syndra is also very sufficient."
"From the lineup point of view, EDG is easier to play against."
The reading phase is complete.
Enter the battle.
The initial situation was not beyond the commentator's expectations.
Kennen's attack range is 550 yards. He will be hit by Fiora's Q, but he is almost immune to Fiora's QA combo. In addition, with the acceleration effect of Incarnation's Electric Ball, he is not in any danger during laning.
TSM's top laner Hauntzer was not very strong, and the order he received was to stay calm, not to attack actively, and just to retreat to the half-court and withdraw his troops.
Seeing Kenan play like this.
Xing Dao just laughed.
Make Tiamat first, then make Vampire Scepter, completely ignore the confrontation attributes, and stay in the top lane to develop slowly.
EDG’s jungler is Zzai.
Maybe not as good as the top new generation jungler.
But no matter how it is ranked, it will definitely be among the top three in the world.
The mid laner is Scout, who is gradually maturing. Even if he is not as good as the French King Bjergsen, he is not much worse.
In the bottom lane, A Shui's stability was indeed a little lacking, but in this game, TSM did not have enough threatening means.
In terms of personal ability, EDG is only strong, not weak.
Split push, EDG has no solution.
In team fights, EDG has a huge advantage.
So what’s the rush?
Just brush slowly!
Moreover, the hero Kennen, no matter whether he chooses the AP or AD route, is far from being a match for Fiora in a one-on-one fight.
After the Ravenous Hydra, Xing Dao made two targeted items: Mercury's Treads and Lil' Dagger, and the confrontation in the top lane became completely one-sided.
At 18 minutes, he jumped over the second tower, forcing Kennen to use his ultimate and flash.
Twenty-three minutes to complete the whole process.
The sword points to the high ground.
TSM top laner Kennen was unable to defend Xing Dao alone, and could only ask Taliyah to help deal with the minion line.
But as long as there are few people in the front, Ashe in A Shui's hand can use the magic arrow to start a team fight.
"[Magic Crystal Arrow] fired from the front, hitting Lulu, Syndra's EQ connected and controlled, the push distance is really far!"
Ze Yuan's speech speed increased: "Grand Barrel [Meat Bomb Impact] rushes forward, killing the auxiliary first!"
"Tialah's ultimate flew towards the middle lane, and Fiora also teleported over!"
The overall advantage is huge.
This allows the EDG team to have extremely deep vision.
A trinket eye was placed in the bushes below the high ground, allowing Xing Dao to teleport around.
Use the ultimate skill [Unparalleled Challenge] on EZ!
Chase and hack!
The Q skill [Break Through the Air] follows up with displacement, relying on the double acceleration of breaking the flaw and the ultimate move, the movement keeps up with the flash, and even the summoner skills are not used to kill EZ.
Wait for the artificial terrain cast by Taliyah to break, and then push up to the high ground with the troops.
Remove a group of super soldiers.
In the following four-one split push, TSM became even more difficult to stop.
29 minutes and 48 seconds, the game ended.
EDG finished the first day of the MSI Mid-Season Championship with a perfect record.
The second day.
The first one we face is the European optimistic family G2.
This time, the victory was even easier than the one against TSM.
Because they are both new generation AD, the strength of G2's bottom lane player Zven is completely not on the same level as that of A Shui, and the probability of committing crimes at critical moments has increased several times.
To put it simply.
Send when on the line.
Delivered during operation.
When it comes to team battle, continue to send.
After one game, A Shui had the illusion that he was very stable.
7pm.
The highlight of this MSI, the battle between EDG and SKT is about to begin.
"Hello fellow summoners, welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship. Now we are broadcasting the last game of the second day of the group stage."
"The two sides in the battle are EDG from our region and SKT, the LCK champions."
Wawa, Miller and Su Xiaoyan appeared in the commentary booth.
After introducing myself.
Wawa got to the point: "After half a year, EDG and SKT are going to face each other again. Compared with last year, SKT is in much better shape this year."
"In the LCK playoff finals, they swept KT Rolster 3-0, showing an extremely exaggerated dominance."
"That's right." Miller continued: "After the introduction of Peanut and Huni, the style of the SKT team has also changed to a certain extent. The play style is more focused on the top lane, and it feels like we have returned to the S5 season."
"Huni's stats in the spring season are extremely impressive."
"He used offensive heroes like Rumble, Gangplank, Shen, and Fizz, and achieved a 100% win rate. He also had the highest damage on the team, and was one of the few top laners whose style was similar to General's."
“Today’s game should be very exciting.”
