Chapter 516: Back to S5, I’ll take you back to the past!
In the S5 finals, the LGD team, which was in high spirits because of its qualification for the No. 1 seed in the LPL and even arrogant enough to reserve the championship skin in advance, released three Iron Man games in a row.
And then... they were knocked out of the group stage.
Today, EDG brought out this classic hero.
"oops!"
Miller was very surprised: "It's really unexpected that EDG can use Iron Man in this version, but...if you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense!"
"Yes, Iron Man has no problem beating Yasuo." Yuzu agreed.
Even though Iron Man's Q and W skills have all been weakened, he no longer has the bug-level performance of crushing the level with Dawn Goddess and killing people with one blow with nine times the damage.
But against Yasuo, he is still a complete counter.
"Now there is a question, that is whether EDG can use it well."
"Iron Man has been too unpopular in recent seasons. Not to mention the professional league, even in the casual rankings, no one has picked him."
Miller made an analysis: "Also, I checked the ranking records of EDG players, and Iron Man has never appeared once. I don't know who will use him in this game."
"I think it's General." Wawa guessed: "General is very talented. When he first debuted, he could occasionally come up with a rare and unpopular hero. It shouldn't be a problem for him to use a simple Iron Man."
really.
Entering the final adjustment phase.
EDG exchanged Iron Man to the first floor, which is the top lane position.
"Don't worry ."
FNC coach Joey once again encouraged his players: "Although the hero Iron Man can restrain Yasuo, I believe General will not be very good at using him."
"If it's really hard to handle, we can also change the line."
"No matter which lane you're in, it's easier for Yasuo to fight Crow."
"Don't worry!" Caps was not stressed at all: "I lost to General in the group stage because I was careless. There will be no problem this time."
"That's good." Joey continued to remind: "You need to maintain a good vision of the dragon area. It will be a bit uncomfortable if Iron Man gets the dragon soul. If you have a chance, you can try to kill Tam and suppress EDG's bottom lane, which will slow down their offensive rhythm."
"OK, OK! I'll find a chance to keep him!" Hylissang, who played in the support position, readily agreed.
After a period of discussion, the countdown ended.
The coaches of both teams walked to the center of the field, shook hands and left.
After a brief loading, the camera turns to Summoner's Rift.
Blue side: FNC
Red side: EDG
Top lane: Shen vs. Malphite
Jungle: Prince vs. Troll
Mid: Yasuo vs. Crow
AD: Big Mouth vs EZ
Support: Braum vs. Tam
Even though FNC has the strongest hero Braum in level one group fights.
But the three strong men on EDG's side, Trundle, Tam, and Iron Man, are no ordinary guys. If a fight really breaks out, they may not be at a disadvantage thanks to their strong physique.
Just to be on the safe side.
FNC did not invade.
Choose the normal start method.
As the commentator analyzed, EDG let Crow go to the top lane to develop against Shen, and switched Xing Dao to the middle lane, using Malphite to fight against Caps' Yasuo.
Xing Dao also used an elite character card to ensure the most basic proficiency.
"Take a look at the talents and summoner skills of both sides."
Wawa saw the director display the cornerstone talents below and read them out: "In the FNC team, Shen is Immortal, Yasuo is Conqueror, Jarvan has Swift Footwork, Kog'Maw has Deadly Tempo, and Braum has Guardian."
"EDG top lane... The Iron Man who switched to the middle lane is Dark Harvest, Crow is Kleptomancy, Troll has Quick Footwork, EZ has Kleptomancy, and Tam has Guardian."
Summoner skills.
The Prince and the Troll are flash punishment.
Shen, Yasuo, and Crow in the solo lane all flash and teleport.
Flash healing is standard for the AD position.
In the support position, Braum, who is trying to do something, has Ignite, and Tam, who tends to defend, has Weakness.
The only special one is Iron Man. He uses D key for sprint and F key for flash. He gave up teleporting for supply and support and chose two skills to increase flexibility.
Considering Iron Man's characteristics of short legs, bulkiness, and inability to hit people, this combination is easy to understand.
1 minute and 10 seconds, the entire army attacked.
At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the soldiers in the middle lane started fighting with swords, shields and staffs.
Xing Dao and Caps started their second confrontation after the group stage.
Wait until the melee soldier's health reaches the kill line.
Xing Dao pressed the E key.
Release [Destruction Siphon] at the three blue soldiers and Yasuo who is close to him!
Four hammers flashing with sharp cold light appeared in the fan-shaped range, clearing out the melee soldiers and breaking Yasuo's shield in the process.
Caps found a good angle and stabbed Iron Man with [Steel Flash], but it was just offset by the shield and did not cause any damage at all.
In the first round of fighting, it seemed that both of them used skills to exchange for shields, and the two were evenly matched.
In fact, Caps is at a disadvantage.
Because Yasuo needs to run for more than twenty seconds to stack his passive shield.
Malphite's shield value is obtained according to the proportion of damage caused. As long as the E skill hits two or three minions, Yasuo's Q will be useless.
…
"Caps is still too young."
KZ support player GorillA saw this and sneered, "When Yasuo fights against Malphite, he should immediately pull the troops away and slowly stack winds to consume them. How can he trade skills with Malphite? Isn't that stupid?"
"He's just a kid." PraY waved his hand. "The strategy of picking Malphite as the second pick to counter Yasuo was more common in S4-S5. Caps only started playing in S6, so he may not have used Yasuo against Malphite at all."
A lot of tips are just a piece of paper.
Once exposed, it's worthless.
But when nothing is revealed, even Caps, a new generation of mage who stands at the top of the division, can easily suffer a loss.
GorillA and PraY said this with the intention of passing on their experience to other team members.
BDD, who debuted at a similar time to Caps and also couldn't use Yasuo to beat Iron Man, nodded repeatedly with an expression of deep approval.
On the court.
Caps suffered a loss and was pushed back by Xing Dao in two waves, taking three hammer strikes.
I felt very unhappy.
After reaching level 2 and activating E [Step Forward], Caps took advantage of the troops' retreat, gathered the wind in his hand, and took the initiative to rush up to fight Xing Dao.
EQ two consecutive circular sword attacks.
The edge will bring Xing Dao up and trigger the Conqueror at the same time, increasing the attack power and converting 20% of the true damage .
Cut it with a knife!
Turn around and go!
Delay a little bit of time, and after the metal storm caused by Xing Dao's W [Harvest of Sorrow] disappears, turn around and give another EAQ!
Two more cuts!
Iron Man certainly restrains Yasuo.
But when WE only has two skills, its sustained combat power is slightly worse than Conqueror Yasuo.
In addition, Xing Dao's initial equipment was Dark Seal, and Caps's was Doran's Blade, and they were slightly at a disadvantage in attributes, so they did not win.
After a round of fighting, Xing Dao's health dropped below three hundred.
Caps still has 400 health points, leading by more than 100 points.
but……
Looking at the experience bar and soldier status on the right side of the avatar, Xing Dao pressed the second layer of the reusable potion, secretly brewing murderous intent in his heart...
