"Galio? Locked!"
Amid Wawa's surprised voice, WE team's final move was locked in!
"Huh? Galio support? "
The TPA coach was confused.
How long has it been since he last saw this hero?
Galio has always been a less popular character in the game. One reason is that his arms are relatively short, and the other is that Galio’s ultimate skill is not easy to enter the game.
The old version of Galio's passive skill converts 50% of magic resistance into spell power.
The Q skill is to throw out a magic ball with an attack range roughly the same as Syndra's Q. It can cause damage and a significant slowing effect when hitting.
W can provide a shield for friendly forces or yourself for 4 seconds. This shield cannot resist damage, but it can increase the hero's dual resistance by up to 90 points [full level W], and when the teammate with the shield is attacked, Galio will recover a certain amount of health.
The E skill is somewhat similar to Kled's hands-free ultimate skill, which throws out a whirlwind, causing damage to enemies along the way, and teammates can gain a very high movement speed bonus when they are in the track of the whirlwind, up to 52%.
The R skill is somewhat similar to Amumu's ultimate, with a similar range. It causes a group taunt and absorbs damage from everyone in the range. It will detonate after two seconds of control, and the damage of the detonation will be amplified as the damage sustained increases, similar to Maokai's ultimate.
But because Galio has no advance skills, if he wants to hit many people with his ultimate, he can only rely on flash, which is too limited.
No one expected WE to choose Galio in this game... Eh? Isn't Galio a support?
Suddenly, TPA's coach discovered that WE had swapped heroes.
With about 20 seconds left on the countdown, WE's mid laner and support... swapped positions.
Galio in the middle.
Supporting Leblanc? !
At this moment, not only the TPA coach was dumbfounded, but their mid player was the most confused.
what?!
Am I picking Kassadin to fight Galio?
TPA's mid laner Morning felt that he had been subjected to a great deal of malice.
Kassadin was very popular in Season 4.
And the outfit of Time Meter plus Ice Fist is particularly popular.
If Kassadin is in the middle, he will start to become tanky after buying a Seraph's Staff at most. In the late game, he will be both tanky and have damage output, which is outrageous.
But there are still many heroes that Kassadin is afraid of in laning phase.
Therefore, every time this hero appears, most of the heroes he faces are AP or tank heroes. With the shield provided by the Q skill and the passive magic damage reduction, Kassadin is not only not at a disadvantage when facing these heroes, but also very brave.
He may be suppressed before level 6 when fighting against Leblanc, but after level 6, he will be the one being suppressed.
Now he was told that the person he was going to fight was actually Galio.
How... to fight this?
"Fight magic with magic."
Xuexue rubbed her hands.
The teammates all had their own special training before this World Championship.
And he is no exception.
Xuexue actually practices the most heroes in the team. Among all the mid laners in the LPL Summer Games, Xuexue's ability to cut into team fights has always been criticized, but in the game, Xuexue's laning ability is still impressive.
The many heroes that Li Nian asked him to practice had one common characteristic.
First, it can be mixed, although the effect may be smaller in the later stages and the limitations encountered are also relatively large.
But in the early laning phase, he is not inferior to most heroes and can safely survive until the mid-game.
Second…it’s easy to get started.
For professional players, those less complicated heroes only need to be played a few dozen times before they can be brought out onto the competition stage.
Some heroes don't even need to be trained so much.
For example, Galio.
Apart from controlling the timing of casting the ultimate skill, there is nothing else special to pay attention to.
"Good fellow, Leblanc's support..."
Miller smacked his lips and said, "Boss Nian has come up with a new trick."
With the increase in the number of competitions and her own reputation, Li Nian is now considered to be well-known in the circle.
The commentators in particular began to give him all kinds of nicknames.
Mr. Nian is one of them.
"But I feel like if the opponent is Morgana, Leblanc won't have much of an advantage. Once Morgana's Q hits Tristana, she can just stomp on her face."
Xiaomi expressed his concerns.
"Then it all depends on how President Nian handles it. All right, both players are ready, let's move on to the first game!"
As the music started and the thunderous cheers of TPA were heard from the crowd, ten players from both sides entered the Summoner's Rift.
Even with noise-isolating earmuffs, everyone in WE could hear the faint noise coming from the scene (TPA! TPA!).
"It's our home court after all."
Xiang Guo sighed: "When will a world championship be held in China, just like the All-Star Game in S3?"
When mentioning the S3 All-Star Game, his smiling eyes fluctuated slightly.
He still remembers that in the S3 All-Star Game, as Sun Yalong's Thresh hit one hook after another, the whole audience was cheering and laughing.
He remembered that PDD's Rambo burned the North American duo in the bottom lane and chased the two people by himself.
These are indelible memories.
"It's no use saying that. "
Li Nian said dimly, "It's better now. After the semi-finals, when we play abroad, I hope the scene will be dead silent."
Hearing Li Nian's words, Xiang Guo was slightly stunned.
Then he smiled and said, "Yeah, it would be very exciting if I could silence the Korean audience."
"Stop talking and follow the pre-match layout."
"okay!"
The other side.
In the TPA battle seat.
"WE practiced a lot of top-jungle synergy. We defended our positions and paid attention to their jungler's route to the jungle."
"learn."
The five people were scattered at each jungle entrance in the upper and lower jungle areas.
Soon, the TPA people in the upper jungle area discovered Xiangguo and his men.
"The Centaurs are in the upper half."
He gave immediate feedback.
"Then I know. They are going to play mid and jungle in this game. This is exactly what we want. We just need to pay attention in the early stage. They dare not play too aggressively in the bottom lane."
…
After the entire army attacked, both sides fought normally.
Li Nian and Wei Xiao were lying in ambush in the bushes at the bottom lane. When the TPA bottom lane duo appeared, Li Nian decisively used W to step on them and consume them.
The target is Morgana!
TPA's support player reacted quickly. He used his Q skill immediately after Ahri stepped over, aiming directly at the position where Ahri used her W to return.
However, after Li Nian quickly returned to his original position, he made an extremely extreme move and lost the Q skill.
"Good positioning."
Smile praised.
"We need to get to 2 first. We don't need to get there quickly, just a little faster than them will be enough."
Li Nian spoke up.
When Tristana has learned the E skill, killing a minion will create a damage splash effect, which will affect the surrounding area. In theory, this will give her an advantage in pushing the line.
But with the pressure from Ahri, Bebe's Tristana didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
The speed at which both sides cleared the line was roughly a 55-50 situation.
"I went to their jungle to farm. I can support the bottom lane at level 3."
TPA's jungler gave feedback.
At this time, he had already passed through the river grass along the middle lane and invaded WE's jungle area.
But what he didn't know was that, in front of countless stunned viewers and commentators, a figure took advantage of Galio's pushing ability and moved directly to the bottom lane after destroying the red buff.
It's... Centaur.
Centaur passed through the middle route, but this position was a blind spot in the TPA mid laner's vision, and no one noticed Centaur's position.
After 10 seconds.
"Are you ready?"
Li Nian reminded.
"no problem."
The moment Wei Xiao finished speaking, Li Nian, who was far away, suddenly used W to step on the three melee soldiers in the second wave of soldiers who had been damaged.
The two melee soldiers fell down directly and turned into gold coins and entered the body of the enchantress.
The other one was taken away by Ezreal's basic attack that almost overlapped with Leblanc's W.
Three melee soldiers died.
WE’s duo line instantly reached level 2.
At this moment, Li Nian's thinking speed and hand speed were particularly clear.
He has only one goal...
Flash to Tristana's face, and use E skill chain to hit her face!
Smiling Ezreal almost instantly jumped up and learned the E skill and rushed forward!
"are you crazy?"
Bebe was startled, and he decisively used his flash to retreat, but it was obvious that he could not break free from the second stage of the chain control of Ahri from this position.
Bebe's intuition told her that things would not be that simple.
So at the moment when he was imprisoned by the enchantress, Bebe saw a level 2 Centaur behind him with only a red buff...
