Chapter 210: Jungler is work, topping is life
LGD's second loss was not peaceful.
Yes, lost.
The time goes back to twenty-five minutes ago .
The second BP between the two sides began, and Ma Run played Graves on top lane and wanted to revive the glory of being the top laner in S5.
At the same time, LGD also openly targeted the top lane in BP. Two of the three banned crocodiles and vampires , and then the blue team directly locked on the male gun in the first hand.
After doing all this, LGD's coach breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it depends on what you play.
He believed that Li Fu could train a vampire to compete in the competition in two days.
But he didn't believe that Li Fu could train any more, that would be a bit unreasonable.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Li Fu on the red team took out a beer man.
You pay the bill and I'll come.
This scene almost burned out LGD coach Heart’s CPU.
Bang!
He slapped his forehead.
Damn, who said you have to practice when the opponent plays a new top laner?
This Padre6 can be considered an old beer man. The first "geometric barrel" in the spring game was hit by this man.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was flooding the screen.
"Okay, okay, let's play like this, eh?"
"This is so funny, Fu Huang is going to ban all jungle heroes to the top lane."
"I'm good at top lane heroes, but I'm good at jungle heroes."
"Let's be honest, the top beer man is a piece of shit."
“…”
Ma Run thought so at first.
Until the opposing jungler Lee Sin frequently appeared in the top lane, after a game, the whole person felt like flying in the sky - yes, Eimy also camped in the top lane this time.
The problem is that every time the top and jungle of both sides fought 2V2 and traded one for one, Li Fu on IG got the kill and Axun died, and Eimy on LGD got the kill and Ma Run died, so that their own jungler had been waiting in the top lane for a long time and directly caught Ma Run.
Twelve minutes into the game, Ma Run, who was at 0/3, couldn't stand it anymore and offered to let Eimy go so that he could develop on his own.
Eimy felt aggrieved after hearing this.
He did everything this time, almost got himself into trouble, but got nothing out of it.
What can I do if the other side focuses their fire on you once a fight starts?
LGD's top and jungle wanted to follow suit and focus on Li Fu in the second wave, but the problem was that Gragas was different from Graves. This hero had damage reduction and recovery abilities, and had much stronger survivability than heroes like Graves who only had damage skills.
Well, now Eimy won’t come on the road.
Ma Run also started to play timidly, focusing on development. Unexpectedly, after Li Fuchun destroyed the Gragas with two pieces of equipment in 17 minutes, he directly hid in the grass in front of the tower with a scan.
When you see Graves coming, start with W and take a sip of wine, then kill him instantly with one move.
WDNMD!
Ma Run was really speechless this time.
"Brother Fu's Gragas! Reminds me of the nuclear explosion Gragas in the jungle last season."
"No solution! It feels like Ma Run's Graves didn't perform at all in this game, and I feel like Fu Ge's Gragas is a bit scary now."
The commentators on the stage also looked at each other and shook their heads.
Why is it scary?
As we all know, the top lane is the fastest developing and highest level lane among all the single lanes.
So it is conceivable that when a Gragas can kill Graves with a combo, wouldn't it be even easier to kill the opponent's squishy AD and mid laner?
The game lasted eighteen minutes, but Li Fu teleported to the bottom lane, and the LGD bottom lane duo both flashed and fled to the tower. When they were about to escape, Li Fu raised his hand and used his ultimate skill [Exploding Gragas] to blast them into the sky!
All of a sudden, the LGD competition booth went from pre-match bold statements to silence, and it only took eighteen minutes.
The subsequent failure was also completely expected.
Because of the collapse of the top lane Graves, it wasn't just the top lane that collapsed.
You know, the top laner plays more of a front-row functional position in the team.
If Ma Run had replaced Poppy with a big tree in this game, let alone 0/3, he could continue to play even if he died twice. The jungler just needed to get the kill and play a role in the team fight.
The reality is that the Graves that Ma Run held meant that LGD was betting on him in this game.
This broke the team apart all of a sudden. There was neither front row nor output in the team, and they also had a Gragas with outrageous control and even more outrageous output. When it came to team fights, LGD was like a bamboo shoot explosion!
At the 23rd minute, when the base exploded, a bitter smile appeared on Ma Run's face in the LGD competition seat.
In this BP, he blocked the top lane. It is impossible for Li Fu to practice heroes so quickly. His top lane Graves had a big stage in this game.
But the reality is that Li Fu gave me a severe lesson - I am not good at top lane heroes, but I have a lot of jungle heroes.
At 6:30 in the evening, congratulations from Jide and Xiaosan were heard from the LPL commentary desk.
"Let's congratulate IG!"
"Congratulations to IG for defeating LGD 2-0 and maintaining their undefeated record."
"Yes, IG has won seven games in seven games this summer and has seven points. It has already surpassed RNG, which has six points, and has become the highest-ranked team among the twelve teams in Groups AB."
“…”
The commentator on the stage began to congratulate.
South Korea, RoxTigers Club.
Smeb, who was also watching the game today, couldn't help but frown when he saw that Ma Run, who had followed the path he had opened up to become the world's number one top laner last year, actually lost to a swinging top laner today.
"Marin... sucks in the LPL."
In the end, Smeb made the final statement without hiding his disappointment.
He had a vague feeling that last year might have been Ma Run's peak and also his last time on the world championship stage.
However, Kuro on the side frowned slightly.
Today, I can no longer agree with this view.
You know, Kuro has been paying attention to the two BO3 rounds against RNG the day before yesterday and against LGD today.
After watching the two rounds of games, Li Fu first defeated S4's No. 1 top laner Looper, and then defeated S5's No. 1 top laner Marin. It can be said that he only kills unknown people. These are real achievements, and it is hard to deny this man's top lane strength.
But how could an MSI champion jungler suddenly become so good at top lane?
Is he really a genius?
Kuro was a little confused by this.
At this moment, seeing the director's camera on the big screen focusing on the man, Kuro suddenly had an idea in his mind.
First it was the S4 champion top laner Looper, then it was the S5 champion top laner, so... who's next?
At the same time, many club coaches and data analysts from major regions who watched today's regular season match with IG's new lineup system couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
In previous games, we have only heard of heroes swinging positions. For example, if the opponent chooses a troll to swing, your coaching team will have to guess and analyze which position the opponent's troll will be in: top, jungle, or support.
Now, not only the heroes are swaying, but the people are swaying too.
This means that in a BO5 match, the coach not only has to guess the BP, but also the position.
What if the opponent sitting in the jungle position suddenly chooses a top laner?
This is not completely impossible!
Damn it! Can this be a good BP?
…
Huaxia Jianghai, Hongqiao Tiandi LPL venue.
Li Fu naturally didn't know the complex inner thoughts of the club coaches in the major competition areas.
At this time, he was being interviewed post-match with Save.
Save is now talking to the camera, speaking fluent Chinese with a barbecue flavor.
He did not hesitate to praise Li Fu in his words , and even admitted that he had been walking on the road of top lane for a long time, but when he looked up, he found that Li Fu was walking in front of him and illuminating the way forward.
"Progress! He really wants to progress."
"Hahaha, Save is such a good licker."
"Isn't he competing with Brother Fu for the job? Is that true?"
"Now if Brother Fu wins, it means he wins. All interviews are one-on-one. You can brag even if you are on stage."
"I am so amused. I find him pleasing to the eye for some reason."
“…”
Regarding Save’s change of attitude, I can only say that when you lose your moral integrity, the world is still a beautiful place.
Save I feel that the world is a beautiful place at this moment.
Today's interview host is Xiao Lou, holding the script and smiling, he continued to ask the Korean who speaks Chinese very well, "If you want to give a score, how would you rate Fu Ge's performance today, contestant Save?"
"About sixty points." Save said suddenly.
There was a sudden surprise around the interview area!
Didn’t this guy lick it very vigorously just now?
Unexpectedly, the next second, Save showed a calm and composed smile on his face, "Because the full score is 10, I think the extra 50 points are extra points for Fu Ge's performance and condition today."
Everyone: ...
You kid still have to be you kid.
Xiao Lou was also amused and chuckled. He turned to look at Li Fu, who was holding the microphone with his arms folded across his chest, and said with a smile, "Then let's give the next question to Brother Fu. Everyone knows that you are a very good jungler. You once led the team and your teammates to win the MSI Mid-Season Championship trophy for the LPL region again. So what made you switch to a part-time top laner and perform so well?"
"Because the team needs it."
Li Fu answered without hesitation. It sounded a bit official, and the audience in the live broadcast room were a little disappointed.
But the next second, Li Fu paused and suddenly added, "The manager said that if you win and get the MVP award, you will get a bonus of 5,000 yuan."
“666!”
"This is the reason why you're so crazy about practicing top lane."
"Turtle, you can earn extra money as a part-time professional player. This is really an eye-opener."
“…”
Xiaolou was also a little surprised, and then said with a smile:
"It's really the IG I'm familiar with. As the principal said, there is nothing that money can't solve. If there is, it must be because the money is not in place. If the money is in place, the world champion jungler can work part-time as a top laner."
"So, as a person, how do you think you play top lane?"
When the audience heard that Li Fu was asked to give himself a score, they couldn't help but focus their attention on him.
Li Fu was silent in front of the camera, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I think my performance as a top laner is pretty average. Compared to those top top laners, I still have a long way to go."
Everyone: ???
Is this even human language?
You defeated both Looper and Ma Run!
There is still a long way to go...
Building a ladder on the top of the mountain, do you want to go to heaven?
At the same time, in the LGD lounge, Ma Run, who had packed his backpack and was zipping up his hoodie, froze slightly when he heard Li Fu's words.
"Let's have hotpot together tonight."
"You're still going to eat after losing?"
"Have a good meal and be happy."
"Okay then, will Marin come with us?"
"No."
"Anything tonight?"
"train.
“…”
Ma Run, who wanted to agree, shook his head without thinking, and pushed the door open with his shoulder bag.
The winner said he would continue to climb.
The loser...
What qualifies you to eat hotpot?
At the interview table, Xiaolou was also shocked by Li Fu's words.
She coughed dryly, lowered her head to look at the script in her hand and continued to ask, "So between the two positions of jungler and top laner, which one do you personally prefer, Brother Fu?"
"Go to the top lane." Li Fu said.
"Why? Didn't they say that his performance in the top lane was average?" Xiaolou asked subconsciously.
"Hmm..." Li Fu hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Because I personally like it more. If I have to put it in a metaphor, jungle is work, and topping is life."
The audience in the live broadcast room were all impressed by Li Fu's words.
"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!"
"You have a very rich life."
"I discovered that Fu Huang really enjoys playing solo every time. He was still laughing even when he was caught dead in the front."
"So you use a jungle hero to play top lane, are you bringing work into your life?"
“…”
Most people's first reaction when hearing this is that Li Fu is up to something again.
But some also felt offended.
For example, those top professional top laners felt that Li Fu was using "life to challenge their work", which offended their inner dignity, and they all secretly vowed to give him a hard time next time.
There are no permanent winners in the professional
Who dares to say he is invincible? Who dares to say he is undefeated?
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. One day or another, you will cry.
After the interview, Li Fu and Save, who was reluctant to leave, waved goodbye to the interview seat, reunited in the lounge and returned to the club base together. After that, they went out for a meal to celebrate the perfect conclusion of the fourth game week.
Coach Chris was also in high spirits and felt that today was indeed worth celebrating.
You know, there are four game weeks and six games in total in the second round of the regular season. That means IG, the leader of Group A, will have to challenge all six teams in Group B one by one.
Generally speaking, people like to do things from easy to difficult, which makes it easier to pass.
But the LPL schedule is not so considerate.
In the second round, IG first faced off against RNG, the leader of Group B. Today, they played against LGD, which is ranked high in Group B. It can be said that they started to compete strongly from the beginning of the second round of the regular season.
Normally a team would play like this right from the start.
If they suffer two consecutive defeats and their morale is crushed, it is possible that they will never recover in the second round of the regular season.
However, IG won two games this week, taking down a tough challenge and boosting their morale.
As for the remaining four teams, VG, WE, OMG and IM, IG still has to play a total of four games in the three weeks left in the second round of the regular season, competing with these teams one by one.
But after defeating RNG and LGD, IG had a momentum to sweep away everything, and even had a bit of the momentum of EDG in the summer of that year that Li Fu merged into his future memory.
You know, in future memories, EDG won the championship with 16 consecutive wins!
It's such a terrifying sentence!
However, under the flapping of his butterfly wings, IG seems to have quietly become the protagonist of the club.
So what's next?
Can they really keep winning?
