Chapter 737: Lost, lost, lost?
After Xing Dao gained a big enough advantage, he changed from constantly rushing to the face to exchange blood during laning to playing steadily and cautiously. When he did not have skills, he always stayed in a safe position and did not give FNC any chance.
In this way.
FNC's situation became very passive.
Before Ekko was picked, FNC could say that they could easily win if they were not far behind.
After Ekko was selected, the team battle immediately changed from a one-on-one punch-and-punch battle to a bayonet fight where life and death could be decided in an instant.
——If Ekko’s equipment was good enough to kill Sivir instantly, FNC would lose 99% of the time.
After all, Centaur's ultimate ignores control, and Ekko's EQA can only hit the opponent with three rings in an instant. No matter how much control the FNC team has, it is unlikely to keep Sivir, a fragile core player without any displacement skills.
With Sivir down, it is difficult for the remaining FNC heroes to support the output required for team battles.
so.
Ekko's development became the top priority of this game.
If Ekko's development lead is big enough and reaches the critical point of killing people in one second, it will be difficult for FNC to handle team battles.
If you are not careful, it will collapse at any moment.
on the contrary.
Ekko's lead in development is not big enough, and Sivir is still in a state strong enough to resist a set of skills and fight back, so EDG has almost no chance of winning.
There is another aspect to Ekko's development besides economy.
It means reaching the maximum level and providing a killing book with 145 magic power and 10% movement speed.
So……
Here comes the problem.
An Ekko whose operation and awareness are at the forefront, with Ashe opening vision across the map and Centaur helping with the initial control, who only wants to catch lone heroes and stack layers of Killing Book, how should FNC respond?
It's difficult.
It's really difficult.
But FNC had to find a solution.
Because they couldn't deal with this, they would definitely be defeated by EDG 3-0.
“This is going to be difficult!”
FNC mid laner Caps’ brows were getting deeper and deeper into frown.
Caps felt very frustrated in these three games.
In the first game, FNC's lane-swapping tactic was discovered by EDG. The AD + support encountered the top lane + support combination and were completely defeated in the laning phase. Before Caps could even exert his strength, his teammates were almost destroyed.
In the second game, Caps had just reached level 6 when he was kicked by a Shen and his face was bruised.
The third game... is this game.
People and horses came to the center to fight against the Red Army.
Ashe's arrow flew across half the map without vision, providing assists with just a glance.
Who the hell can resist?!
Let's stick to the facts.
Caps is currently in his prime, and in terms of pure laning ability, he should be in the top three in the world, and if we are not too modest, we can say he is in the top two.
He was only surpassed by the peak Rookie who earned the nickname "Chicken Lord".
With this kind of strength, he is using Aftershock Lissandra, who is extremely good at self-protection. Even if his opponent is Xing Dao, Caps has the confidence to stabilize the single line and even not fall behind.
The fights in the previous levels were proof of this.
but.
The other FNC players all fought on their own and there was no good synergy effect.
EDG's jungler Centaur and AD Ashe were used to create a design targeting the mid lane.
After touring Paris after the MSI war, Caps, who maintained a good relationship with the EDG players, was reminded of an idiom from ancient oriental countries - no guilt without war!
"This won't work. We need to find a way to limit Ike."
Ou Cheng made a serious suggestion: "I can only make half a piece of defensive equipment for the first three big items, and then let Ekko snowball, and he can rush to my face and kill me in one second."
In the current version, regular critical AD has a must-have equipment.
That is the strengthened Storm Qiri with super-model attributes.
The second thing is to add a cannon or green fork that increases attack speed and critical strike.
Do I need to think about the third thing to do?
Of course, it is the Infinity Blade that doubles the critical rate and can convert 20% of the pre-tax critical damage into real value!
That is to say.
Before Sivir gets the third big item, you can only buy the Small Drinker's Blade or Mercury's Trinket to avoid being killed instantly by Centaur + Ekko. That little defensive attribute may not be meaningful in front of the "River Scholar".
As for the idea of being alive to produce output, we should first consider saving our lives...
What else can Sivir do?
Is there any meaning to Chun Ge Jia?
It's impossible to take out a big drinking magic knife and turn into a scraping master!
"Let's set a trap for Ike to fall into."
FNC jungler Bwipo vowed: "EDG wanted other heroes to take the initiative, and Ekko came in last to finish off the team. I deliberately sold out and tricked Ekko into the encirclement and killed him. "
As soon as the words fell.
The eyes of the other FNC players lit up.
really!
If Ike wants to stack books, he must attack.
If you attack, you will naturally reveal your flaws.
Even if the flaw is very, very small and fleeting, it is still a flaw.
As long as you put in enough effort, you can catch it.
After all, as the defending side, FNC can gather the strength of the entire team, set up a "pocket" and wait for Ekko to take the bait.
It is impossible for EDG to keep five players together throughout the whole process - Ashe and Sion, one with continuous output and the other in the front row, must ensure development keeps up with the timeline.
Fight.
All five members of FNC can be present.
Even if one is killed instantly , there are still four people, and the person killed instantly will trick the Centaur into using a whole set of skills including the ultimate move.
Even though EDG still has Tam's driving and Ashe's arrows, two things that might provide support, FNC still has a higher chance of winning.
“That makes sense!”
“Great design!”
"Yes, let's do that to them!"
"Let the General know that even an old dog has a few teeth!"
“…”
The other FNC players echoed this.
Ou Cheng even uttered a slang term as a veteran contestant.
…
"General stacked up the Death Book like this, and the rhythm is favorable to EDG!"
Wawa boasted: "FNC is facing the same embarrassing situation as the previous two games - the lineup has a huge advantage and is basically invincible after it is formed, but... it can't even survive until the moment of formation."
"That's right." Miller looked at the resources in the game: "EDG got the second water dragon, and the third one spawned a fire attribute. This dragon may be useful to EDG."
Under normal circumstances, a fire dragon cannot undergo any qualitative change.
It does not mean absolute.
Although 8c... Ugh!
Although the 8% attack power/spell bonus has been converted twice, the actual benefit is not much.
But just in case.
This is just in case.
What if the health difference between being killed is really just a dozen points or even single digits?
For cutting-in heroes, especially cutting-in assassins, this little bit of gain may change the direction of a team battle.
You can ignore it, but you can never pretend it doesn’t exist.
"Neither team was able to rush the Baron quickly, so the Fire Dragon was the focus of the fight."
"EDG continues to focus on the bottom half."
Shen Chao looked at the positions of FNC on the small map and suddenly found something wrong: "Eh... there's something wrong with the lane splitting on FNC's side!"
Professional teams often choose the "fair fight" approach.
It's just the top laners fighting each other.
The AD support and the AD support on the other side develop towards each other.
The reason for doing this is that confrontations with the same positioning are less likely to cause problems.
Take this game for example.
When Sivir + Braum face Ashe + Tam, there is basically no possibility of a sudden kill, and if the jungler comes to intervene, he can only sell the support.
But if you are facing a thick-skinned and powerful Sion, it is easy to get a double kill if you are ganked.
But.
FNC temporarily changed the distribution.
Let Ornn go to the bottom lane to fight against A Shui and Meiko.
Ou Cheng and 'Hi Le Song' controlled Sivir and Braum to move to the top lane to play the most perverted posture.
That's strange.
What's even more strange is that Zhao Xin, who was caught dead in the jungle not long ago and had Ekdo stack four layers of the Book of Death, appeared in the river again, scanning and removing the trinket ward in the bush. No matter how you look at it, it seems that he is a little lost...
