BP, start!
This time, kkoma did not lose in the coin toss and decisively took the blue side.
First of all, choose to kill Zoe directly.
"Being the first to target the key hero of the key player, really..."
So arrogant.
Although the KZ coach had anticipated this situation, he was still a little angry.
Because of this BP method, kkoma essentially revealed that he didn't care about the KZ system.
"As long as we remove the special hero, we will definitely win."
Only with this idea in mind can you use the opponent's unique skill at the first move.
In other words, kkoma felt that the game was settled.
"The game hasn't started yet, and everything isn't over yet!"
KZ coach looked sharp and upbeat, and backhandedly pushed down Niyu Xia.
The enemy is undoubtedly powerful, but we have to fight no matter how powerful it is.
There is no retreat!
"Oh? Did you move Xia away as usual?"
kkoma tapped lightly on the tactical notebook in his hand, his eyes calm without much emotion.
A futile struggle.
"Owen."
The second hand targets Khan in the top lane!
Ornn is a very good front row and initiator in team fights. After realizing that Smeb is not an opponent that Khan can easily break through, KZ is very likely to choose him.
And for kkoma who wants to break through in single laning, it is destined to be impossible to give him such a hero.
Don’t think about team fighting, just focus on solo laning!
"Blue Steel Shadow."
Coach KZ spoke softly.
The tactical game begins here.
This move of Shen is quite strange, because Shen's priority is not that high now.
Even if we exclude the top laner in team fights and only consider it from the perspective of solo laner, Shen's priority will definitely not reach this level.
"You want to use Fiora to open Ezreal and Karma, but in the end you still have to bet your hope of victory on the mid-game?"
kkoma frowned.
If you kill Shen alone, Khan can also use Fiora.
In this case, the BP priority of the top laners on both sides has been quietly increased, and Fiora has begun to become important.
So... is KZ's intention to force EDG to take down Fiora, and then take down EZ and Karma?
He paced at the back of the team, not in a hurry to kill EZ.
"I, Narkainen, can beat his sword master."
Smeb spoke up at the right time.
"good."
kkoma exhaled, "Move it, third hand, prince."
He chose to trust Smeb.
Even though the third Prince was removed, the KZ coach was not too disappointed.
It would be strange if kkoma fell for such a basic trap.
Moreover...the opponent's player's hero pool is really too wide, and KZ coach doesn't think it can play much of a role.
But for KZ right now, any advantage is an advantage.
"Wind Girl."
In the third hand, KZ coach chose to kill Janna.
Needless to say, Meiko's Janna has a high win rate in MSI, and he also pays great attention to protecting the back row.
For KZ, who had already made up their mind to fight with EDG as much as possible in the early and mid-game, it was impossible to release the Janna.
Moreover, Janna makes up for a lot of Kaisa's lack of laning ability.
Kai'Sa and Janna are a bit too comfortable in laning.
After one round of selection, it's EDG's turn.
Xu Yuan didn't need to look up to know that kkoma was standing behind him.
"Kasha is released."
He spoke softly.
In just a moment, kkoma's voice came from behind.
"Kasha, take it."
After Smeb confirmed Kaisa, kkoma asked.
"It's rare to take the initiative to ask for heroes before. Do you have any ideas today?"
Xu Yuan rubbed his wrist and spoke calmly.
"Because I find it weird that they're still releasing my Kai'Sa."
"Are you taking me too lightly?"
“So it’s very frustrating.”
Coach kkoma didn't expect this to be the reason.
But if he thought about it carefully, it was consistent with his understanding of Xu Yuan.
How could a contestant who reached the peak as soon as he debuted not have his own pride?
kkoma reminded, "Maybe we will focus on the bottom lane?"
Being willing to believe that Xu Yuan would help him pick Kaisa is one thing, but whether the tactics should revolve around the bottom lane is another.
Xu Yuan didn't mind.
"I'm not an AD who can't play without help."
"If no one comes, I can still beat him up."
kkoma clapped his hands and laughed.
"Sure enough, Kasa!"
At the commentary desk, Miller's eyes lit up.
"KZ didn't press Kai'Sa during the ban phase just now, so I thought EDG might give Kai'Sa to Savior, but... it was a bit unexpected that they took it first."
Today's three commentators are Miller and Guan Zeyuan.
Although Wawa is good at controlling the situation, his commentary skills are not up to par. He often speaks illogically and just shouts.
So he was gradually surpassed by Colonel Guan.
Fortunately, there is no Miss Gwen yet, otherwise she would have been given the title of "Zero Logic Doll".
"I think this is also Savior's unique style."
Colonel Guan cleared his throat and smiled.
"Savior is a very confident player. He dared to challenge top AD players like Uzi when he debuted, so he is very confident in his own skills. When Kaisa is released, he will definitely play as long as he wants to!"
"This is probably one of the reasons why I have always admired Savior. Compared to more stable players, I admire players who dare to use heroes and stand out in big competitions."
Of course, it would be even better if Xu Yuan went to Samsung.
He kept this sentence in his heart and didn't say it.
[Hot Knowledge: In December 2023, Colonel Guan completely cut ties with his once beloved Samsung, and things have changed a bit. 】
"Wuhu~ I can see Yuanzi's Kaisa again. KZ is so awesome. How dare they release this?"
"Understand, KZ has no other options, the opponents have a lot of heroes."
"You're really going to take it without moving? You're so confident!"
The barrage is also quite anticipated.
In this MSI, Xu Yuan's Kaisa often roamed around in team battles.
It’s a pleasure every time to watch him play in a team. He is really incomparable to other ADs who play Kaisa. He has a kind of charm.
Moreover, a hero like Kaisa is very exciting to be released.
Nowadays, all Kaisa are A-style, and the viewing experience and difficulty of the operation are not comparable to the mythical version of Kaisa Dog.
"EZ, Crow!"
KZ coach’s eyes were cold.
Directly take down double C!
"Something's wrong."
Almost instantly, kkoma's brows furrowed.
Needless to say, Crow had a very normal BP, but EZ...
Something is wrong.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with using EZ, and it can even be a very good BP.
But last time they didn't dare let Pray use EZ to fight Xu Yuan, for fear that the bottom lane would be broken through in the early stage.
This time...why do you dare to do it again?
"Are you going to take away Karma?"
After a brief thought, kkoma decided to just grab it.
"Karma, Ryze."
Let me see what you are up to!
Although the Kaisa and Karma double card combination is not a particularly compatible combination, its strength is quite high.
After all, Karma can't be weak in lane.
There is no need to say much about Ryze, he is a mid laner with the same priority as Crow.
Lee Sang Hyuk's best move.
Even Lee Sang-hyeok's Leblanc doesn't give Kkoma as much sense of security as his Ryze.
"Bud!"
In the third hand, KZ finally revealed its true colors.
By now, kkoma finally understood why KZ, which was reluctant to choose EZ in the last round, suddenly changed its mind.
They... gave up on the bottom lane!
Knowing that he couldn't win in the bottom lane, he simply surrendered.
Through EZ's ability to mix lines, let Bard coordinate with the jungler and support in the rhythm!
They want to gain an advantage in the mid, jungle and support positions.
In the second round, KZ chose to kill Gnar and Gangplank.
Both methods target Smeb's hero pool and try to reduce Smeb's solo laning ability as much as possible.
EDG defeated Raf and Mantis.
In the fourth hand, KZ helped Khan take down Fiora, and EDG counterattacked with the last two picks, Kennen and Lee Sin.
It was KZ’s last pick and KZ took down Taliyah.
The BP of both sides ended.
Blue side EDG:
Top Kennen
Jungle Lee Sin
Mid Lane Ryze
The bottom lane team is Kaisa and Karma.
Red side KZ:
Top Lane Sword Princess
Jungle Taliyah
Single Crow
The bottom lane group is EZ Gabbard.
The game is about to begin!
"The bottom lane may not be able to produce anything in this game. The opponent will definitely avoid the fight."
"I need you to use the bottom lane to get as many neutral resources as possible from the dragon in the bottom half of the area. Can you do that?"
"no problem!"
In response to kkoma’s instructions before he stepped down, Xiaotian nodded solemnly.
He is very cheerful now and has no fear at all when facing the heavy responsibility of setting the early rhythm.
kkoma smiled and shook hands with KZ coach for the last time.
The game enters the loading phase.
Xu Yuan's face was calm as he thought about how to deal with the next laning situation.
KZ obviously didn't intend to give him a chance to fight back.
The bottom lane probably relies on EZ's ability to mix lines, allowing Bard to help the mid and jungle as much as possible to save the mid and jungle from their disadvantages.
So...how to break through?
In this case, people may not even bother to make up for it.
Just want to mix lines.
Then it is obviously no longer realistic to simply suppress the opponent in the lane.
However, there is more than just pushing the line in League of Legends.
Soon, Xu Yuan thought of a solution.
"Even if he avoids laning, he can't avoid the fight for jungle resources!"
"Once we gain control of the line, we will directly invade!"
He spoke seriously.
Yes, you can indeed use EZ's special features to keep the bottom lane alone without causing much trouble.
However, voluntarily giving up the initiative in the bottom lane also means that what Xu Yuan can do has greatly increased.
You can turtle, but can your teammates?
The game time is three minutes.
Shortly after coming online, Xu Yuan saw that EZ did not choose to push the line as expected, but stood obediently behind the line and Q the soldiers.
pray directly transformed into QDC.
So he didn't show any courtesy and chose to push the line directly.
After pushing, immediately choose to go to the jungle to arrange vision, paving the way for the next invasion of KZ jungle.
At this moment, Peanut has already arrived on the road.
The style of play he adopted was very aggressive: catching at level two!
Red starts at level 2 and grabs top, this is Xiaohuasheng's transformation in the finals.
"Are you here so quickly? The jungler is in the upper half, and he probably didn't fight many monsters."
Smeb was caught off guard by Peanut's sudden aggression and was forced to flash.
"I'm going to get the eyes done."
Li Xianghe made a prompt decision and directly inserted the vision at F6.
This vision is to ensure that Peanut's next route is clear. Catching him at level 2 is certainly useful, but the consequence is exposing yourself.
Xiaohuasheng did not attack again. He was already satisfied with the rhythm he had created at level two.
After clearing the wild monsters in the upper area, he directly chose to wait for the river crab in the upper area to refresh, without any intention of looking at the lower area.
He knew that there was no lane control in the bottom lane.
It's too unrealistic for me to compete with Xiaotian for the river crabs in the lower half.
This also made Meiko a little disappointed.
"Not coming?"
Xu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong.
You're not coming? If you don't want to come, then don't come.
"Give him the jungle area."
After pushing the line, the bottom lane group directly invaded, and Kaisa and Karma cooperated to counter-kill Peanut's blue buff.
This is very important for Xiaohuasheng, because AP junglers are still very dependent on the blue buff.
However, Peanut doesn't really care.
For him, the goal of this game is to fatten up Khan's Fiora.
As long as Fiora's solo lane starts, Kennen won't be able to handle it.
Kennen's side line ability is not as good as Gnar's. As long as Khan's Fiora becomes fatter, Kennen cannot pose much threat to Fiora.
but……
"Although I knew this might be difficult, but isn't it a bit too much to use a blue buff to fight against the opponent?"
Pray sighed silently in his heart, and leaned back behind the defense tower again without making any sound.
As the team's sacrificial lamb, EZ had a hard time.
Although the long-range last-hitting ensured his safety, he couldn't think about development.
"Don't worry, let's talk about it after the third little dragon."
Peanut spoke out to comfort him.
There's nothing that can be done about it. Doesn't Peanut want his teammates to have fun?
It’s just that they can’t win in the laning phase, and the jungler is too powerless in this situation.
Those who can't give up anything will get nothing!
Peanut had no choice but to take the risk.
Give up all the rhythm in the lower half of the zone in the early stage, and be sure to target Kennen who kills Smeb!
Seven minutes into the game, Peanut seized an opportunity.
After seeing Lee Sang-hyuk in the jungle, Grela's Bard decisively used Q to flash over the wall and stunned Lee Sang-hyuk on the spot.
Xiaohuasheng's Taliyah used Flash W to carry the Taliyah back, and cooperated with BDD's Crow to get the first blood!
"Go, go, go! Enough is enough!"
Peanut spoke immediately.
They had no intention of fighting for the little dragon, they just came here to trick someone.
Now that I have achieved what I wanted, I naturally want to moisten it up quickly.
"Nice! Very good cooperation!"
The Korean commentator was cheered up.
Can we finally see KZ's rhythm?
They woke up! ?
They were beaten so badly in the group stage that there was no rhythm at all. As spectators, they felt exhausted watching the game.
But now...it seems different!
However, EDG is not the type to sit still and wait for death.
As early as when Bard used Q to flash over the wall, the bottom lane team who were helping Xiaotian control the dragon had already started to move towards that side.
Although Ryze died, because he was equipped with the Archangel of Time set, his health allowed him to use his control skills before he died, leaving Bard, who had used his flash, in place.
"Bud Bud!"
Li Xianghe spoke quickly.
In fact, Xiaotian had already taken action without him saying anything.
With the help of Karma RE's accelerated support, the bottom lane team took down Bard's head.
"Do you hate it so much?"
Until this time, Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xianghe's mouth twitched.
He was also a little surprised.
But...I feel a little angry.
Ten minutes into the game, Xiaotian cooperated with Li Xianghe's Ryze to launch a fierce counterattack against BDD.
Ryze flashed and used W to freeze Crow, and Xiaotian used his eyes to perform a roundhouse kick to kick Crow out of the defensive tower.
Even though BDD's Crow twisted left and right after activating his ultimate, Lee Sang-hyuk's skills never missed a single time.
His proficiency in Ryze is too high.
BDD died, but KZ was not as confused as before.
Xiaohuasheng immediately targeted Smeb's Kennen again and used his ultimate to block the road.
With the help of Bard who roamed to the top lane, Khan got the first kill.
The situation is at a stalemate!
This is the solution KZ came up with after much thought.
They don't have much confidence in the team fight against EDG.
But they can still avoid fighting and make a breakthrough from another place.
So what was Xu Yuan doing during this period of time?
He has already bet on pray for nearly thirty dollars.
Bard's roaming can certainly help the mid and jungle gain more initiative, but KZ also has to swallow the bitter fruit of being completely unable to play in the bottom lane.
Not only is the enemy under pressure, but the health of the bottom lane defense tower is also very low.
Although Kaisa didn't have any kills at this time, his development was already the best in the whole game.
Peanut didn't choose to go.
If we act rashly towards Xu Yuan, EDG will definitely be able to react.
In order to capture Xu Yuan, too much painful price has been paid.
Therefore, he was very determined and focused on targeting Smeb.
"I'm going to be scolded... KZ was very extreme in this game. They directly chose to give up the bottom lane and let Bard roam around."
"Smeb, can you handle it?"
Miller frowned.
Is the situation disadvantageous? Not really.
But KZ's style of play really surprised many people.
He was a little worried whether Smeb could handle it.
"I am coming."
When Xu Yuan returned home, he had already made his first sheep knife and yellow fork.
Without any hesitation, he started walking up the road.
The current version of Kaisa is a hero who is in great need of equipment. Only after he has the Sheep Knife can he have a certain early combat effectiveness.
It will only have mid-term combat power after evolving into E.
Different from the mythical version, now the output method is more inclined to continuous output of basic attacks, so the equipment is basically fixed with Sheep Knife, Hurricane and Infinity.
Therefore, the invisibility of E evolution is the second qualitative change of Kaisa.
After just ten minutes, with the sheep knife and attack speed shoes, the hurricane has also achieved the yellow cross.
At this time, Kaisa's combat power has exploded.
The pressure of the early rhythm was all borne by the teammates, and now it was time for Xu Yuan to take over the game.
"I'm actually fine."
Smeb let out a breath.
Although he was being targeted continuously, he was not impatient at all and spoke with a smile.
The implication is simple, if you need to develop, I will bear the pressure for a while longer.
However, Xu Yuan shook his head slightly.
"That's enough."
He has always played like this, the word selfish has no place in his description.
On the road, you are already in danger.
BDD abandoned the mid lane troops and forced TP to the top lane to cut off Smeb's retreat.
And the wild assistant is already in place.
They are determined to win!
"If we kill him in this wave, we can take the top lane tower. We should be able to hold out for another two minutes on the bottom lane tower. After we take down the top tower, we will switch lanes directly to the middle lane, delaying the enemy's main force and creating a 1v1 situation for Khan!"
Peanut was giving instructions at a rapid speed.
He played really well in this game, withstanding the huge pressure and almost leveling the early rhythm.
Several clever avoidance moves in the jungle also helped.
"The troops are about to advance!"
As the top and jungle pushed the line, Bard activated the E skill portal and went around from the front of the tower to the back.
It seems that Smeb has nowhere to escape!
However, the KZ coach in the backstage never took his eyes away and held the armrest of the chair tightly.
"Hurry, hurry!"
From a bird’s eye view, the bottom lane group and the mid and jungle teams have already surrounded us!
It is obvious that although KZ saw the mid and jungle, they were unaware of the arrival of the bottom lane group!
If we are not more decisive, we will probably be surrounded by EDG!
Coach KZ doesn't want to eat this dumpling.
And Peanut did not disappoint his expectations.
The ultimate skill was activated decisively, and Taliyah sat on the moving rock and quickly approached Kennen under the defensive tower.
Wuhu～
Taliyah's voice is really weird, she would suddenly make a noise while walking.
But Smeb just couldn't laugh.
“One second!”
Lee Sang Hyuk is already within reach of his ultimate move.
In fact, it should have been faster, but Riot just reduced the teleport distance of Ryze's level 1 ultimate.
Ryze uses his ultimate skill, and Xiaotian gets in the car directly!
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Meiko turned on RE and spoke suddenly.
In an instant, Kaisa and Karma's movement speed increased suddenly, and they were already in Crow's field of vision.
One second?
Smeb's eyes froze, and he started moving the moment Taliyah used his R to rush into the defensive tower.
Useless!
Xiaohuasheng was in amazing condition. He decisively used EW the moment he landed and predicted Smeb's movement direction!
However, Smeb's reaction was equally outrageous. After seeing the rock protrusion prompt circle emerging under his feet, his hand shook violently!
Kennen, activate the E skill and pull back!
This is the ultimate combination of reaction and hand speed.
Bard's ultimate skill falls on the defense tower!
The release position chosen by Grela was excellent.
He had no intention of giving Smeb the chance to take damage from Bard's ultimate. He simply used the effect of the ultimate's edge position to put the defensive tower into a stagnant state.
This ultimate move is perfect.
A sharp white halo appeared around Smeb, and Khan was sharpening his knife!
The unparalleled challenge from Sword Princess!
The agile body suddenly moved forward, and while using the Q skill, he immediately made an A attack and appeared behind Kennen with a dissipating golden light!
Tiamat!
Almost instantly, three of the four were destroyed, leaving only the last one!
Khan's proficiency is equally exaggerated.
Many people think that Khan is just a comedian, he has talent but not much, he is not top notch.
This is an absolute misunderstanding.
Khan used Jayce to beat almost all LCK top laners in S7.
The proficiency of his four sisters is also explosive. Fiora single-killed Theshy's Aatrox who was still in his prime.
He was not at a disadvantage in the fight against the bull-headed nuguri.
You can say Khan is a top eyebrow pencil, but you can't say he has no strength.
But Khan is really funny. Every year in LCK, he can become the king of catching flying flies, but in the World Championship, he often falls to the LPL team.
An old international friend.
With graceful steps, Sword Lady aimed at the last flaw and started walking towards it.
Khan was not stupid enough to use W to attack the last flaw. He reserved his W specifically to deal with Smeb's dying ultimate.
Smeb, there is no escape for you!
Smeb also knew that he was basically doomed in this situation.
but……
Teammates are also behind me!
Even if you die, you must deal enough damage before you die!
Kennen finally flashed, but not towards the front of the defensive tower.
Escaping in the opposite direction towards the tower in front will only buy some time, and you will still die in the end.
Smeb's choice is...
Look back!
“Eh—ha!”
The white lightning flashed, and Kennen's target was Taliyah and Bard!
Peanut's reaction was very quick, and he adjusted Q instantly.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces!
Kenan, killed!
But before dying, Kennen pressed his W!
dizziness!
While the electric shock took away half of Taliyah and Bard's health, it also caused some damage to the chasing Fiora.
Taliyah, start to defend the tower.
Because Peanut was the first one to attack Smeb when Bard's ultimate ended.
The next moment, the purple phantom suddenly turned into a flash of lightning, crossing the void and descending!
Xu Yuan, here we come!
"Savior——enter the scene!"
"EDG's mid and jungle are in position! Their support is too fast!"
"Wait!? Peanut was killed instantly!???!"
Time goes back two seconds.
"Taliyah!"
The moment Smeb's voice sounded, Xu Yuan already knew what he wanted to do.
After the E skill's extreme overload is activated, it releases the Void Search at the extreme distance directly at Taliyah!
The moment the ultimate skill Hunter Instinct came into play, the Void Seeker had already passed through the void and accurately hit the stunned Taliyah!
Landing, heavy rain in Icathia!
With the help of three shots and A to activate the passive surface revitalization, the Taliyah was killed instantly!
Sheep Knife, Guisoo's Rage Blade has been stacked!
The Fiora who wanted to come over to restrict Xu Yuan was kicked away by the Lee Sin who landed on the ground!
Ryze flashed to freeze Bard who was trying to use flash, making him a living target!
The double C from EDG is dominating the battlefield!
The number of Sheep Knife's layers increased wildly, and Bard couldn't withstand the output of the double Cs at all!
As a support, it is a support that roams frequently.
His level is very low.
BDD Crow activated his ultimate skill and tried to limit Xu Yuan's output, but Xu Yuan completely ignored him!
The moment the E skill is pulled, the light of purification is already flashing!
Kaisa, who was almost not restricted in any way, activated another passive skill!
The kill was finally taken by Lee Sang-hyuk's Ryze!
Turn around immediately and cooperate with Xiaotian's Lee Sin to attack Fiora!
Even after Kaisa, who has already stacked up her Sheepstick, finishes her E skill, her attack speed is still very fast.
However, such an attack speed is not a burden !
Even with an attack speed of over 4, Xu Yuan can still complete a perfect A-walk.
What's more, what about now?
At the same time Ryze used his W, Khan's Fiora reacted extremely quickly and used his W.
However... at the same moment, the two EDG Cs who turned back to deal with him moved away almost at the same time, avoiding the sword energy!
It was so clever that it seemed as if it had been rehearsed in advance, and the synchronization rate of subconscious movements was off the charts!
No dizziness!
Khan's heart sank.
Finished!
At this time, Karma had already chained Crow with W.
"Oh my god! EDG's double C! This positioning!"
Colonel Guan was truly shocked.
So beautiful!
This wave of operations is really beautiful!
From a God's perspective, there is a strange sense of coordination.
Sword Princess, died!
The head was taken by Xu Yuan!
Everyone turned back to deal with the last crow and began the final cleanup of the battlefield.
BDD intended to escape through the explosive fruit above the blue BUFF near the river, but Meiko flashed directly and killed the explosive fruit first!
BDD, I will not accept death!
One for four!
The originally balanced situation suddenly turned into a huge advantage for EDG.
The two Cs each got two heads, and KZ’s base started to smoke!
Kaisa, who had already obtained the Sheep Knife from the bottom lane, shattered all of KZ's fantasies!
Victory is already decided.
