Being quickly cleared for two games in a row not only annoyed IG fans, but also annoyed IG players.
“Is the gap so big?”
"It's mainly because the operations are so bad! This BP was set up, and IG didn't like to play around the bottom lane, which directly led to Yuanzi being beaten through the bottom lane."
"A Shui is actually pretty good. The opposing jungler spent ten minutes in the bottom lane and five minutes. Who can withstand this? Where's Ning Wang? Ning Wang, come in and do something!"
The comments were full of discussion.
After watching RNG’s games before, they thought RNG was rubbish.
But in reality...it seems like it's the same no matter who goes up?
In fact, IG is in a more difficult situation than RNG now. At least if RNG cannot win in the laning phase, they can still rely on operations to delay the game.
And what about IG?
There is not much operation at all, and the medium-term stability is problematic.
Although I can hold my own in the laning phase and even get a slight advantage.
But that's all.
Once this advantage reaches the mid-term, it will quickly be reversed by the operational gap between the two sides.
This is so uncomfortable.
EDG's operations did not crush RNG, nor did they crush IG in the laning phase.
But on the contrary, their laning phase defeated RNG, and their operations phase defeated IG.
The team is so comprehensive!
This is why this EDG is the strongest.
They may not be the absolute best in either laning or teamfighting, but there are basically no other teams as comprehensive as them.
Kim Jeong-soo lowered his eyes, thinking about how to break through EDG.
But after thinking about it, he sighed dejectedly.
No.
Really not.
EDG is terrifying in all aspects.
With our current operations, it is basically difficult to compete with them in the later stages.
But in the early and middle stages, I just couldn't break through.
The atmosphere in the training
But soon, the IG players spoke.
"I don't think this is okay. We can't play with them in the mid-to-late game."
"If we want to win, we must take advantage of our only advantage, choose the strongest lane, and speed up as much as possible!"
Prince Ning spoke first.
His meaning is very simple: since you can’t compete in mid- and late-stage operations, just give up on them.
Play the early lineup directly.
Maximize the strength and rhythm of the early lineup and race against time!
In one sentence: I'm fucking going to explode with you!
I have to say that this is an idea that is very much in line with King Ning’s.
There was no way he could endure the frustration of being operated.
Rather than being killed by others, he would rather be defeated because of the excessive rhythm in the early stage.
Kim Jeong-soo subconsciously wanted to refuse.
What kind of solution is this? Isn't this just throwing the can away?
Since you can't play in the mid-to-late stages, why not just play in the early stages?
But then he thought...
It seems that this is the only thing we can do.
Because this operational shortcoming is not so easy to make up for, there is no way to improve it in such a short time.
At this point, I can only try my best to play at the rhythm I want.
What Prince Ning said is really true.
"Actually, no matter what, I think, at least you have to take the strong one in the laning phase."
"Otherwise, if I get beaten by others for three games and still don't get to play what I want to play, it will be even more painful for me to lose."
Ah Shui spoke next.
He was also a little annoyed. Xiaotian’s military training last time was really too much.
Even someone like him who doesn't mind the opponent's jungler coming, still thinks Xiaotian is a bit too extreme.
If my friend is a good person, would he endure such humiliation?
If you come as a jungler, we will kill you too!
Although my brother has a great personality, any athlete who encounters this kind of military training would feel unlucky.
"Take Sean, really, no."
Theshy also spoke with some grievance.
After two games, Theshy felt that he had figured out Smeb's personality.
This guy also likes to show his face when in lane.
Although he is much more stable than himself, Theshy somehow feels that the two people's laning ideas are actually similar and they both like to put pressure on others.
And facing such a person, would you choose Sion to get beaten?
Theshy had a hard time playing.
"I didn't roam enough in the mid-game. I should have tried my best to help you."
Compared to their complaints, Rookie was blaming himself.
He was thinking, was he playing too selfishly?
As the former dean of IG, Rookie rarely finds fault with his teammates.
Because it’s useless to look for it, you still can’t win.
Even if you tell your teammates, will they correct it?
This is the truth he learned from Kid.
So he would choose to take all the blame on himself and attribute the loss of the game to his poor performance.
Rookie's logic is simple:
Although I can't decide how my teammates play, I can at least make myself play better.
The better I play, the more room for error I leave for my teammates!
As for Baolan at this time?
I'm silent now, saying nothing.
He is mainly a supporting role, there is nothing much to say about him.
Neither of these two losses were due to the support.
"alright."
Kim Jeong-soo finally spoke again.
"I know, everyone is having a hard time playing."
"Maybe there's something wrong with my BP thinking. This is my problem."
He didn't avoid the question and let out a breath.
"Next time... let's do it according to everyone's ideas."
Just play in the early stage!
Since the early stage is the only advantage, we should seize the early rhythm and race against time!
There is no doubt that this style of play has many terrible hidden dangers.
If you choose an aggressive lineup in the early stages, you may not be able to win in the mid to late stages.
But for IG now, they can't play in the mid to late stages.
Even though there are many disadvantages to only fighting in the early stages, this style of play is indeed the best style of play now.
IG, there is no other choice!
After a short break, the player sat on the gaming chair again.
This time, Kim Jeong-soo chose the red side.
There are many powerful heroes in this version. The red side’s first pick can pick two heroes and can also counter.
"Red side? Aren't they afraid that we will continue to attack around the bottom lane?"
Meiko was a little confused.
In the last game, Skateboard Shoes was killed so hard, but IG still chose the red side.
“BP’s thinking has changed.”
Kkoma's expression remained unchanged as he spoke with confidence.
IG will never sit still and wait for death. Kkoma is quite familiar with the style of this team.
The only way they could make such a choice is that they changed their minds.
The question is, what is their current thinking?
BP starts!
EDG’s first choice was to kill Ahri.
Respect, no words needed.
It’s very troublesome to give Rookie Leblanc.
He is the strongest point on IG.
IG counterattacked and pushed down Xia.
EDG’s second choice was to press down the clockwork.
Up to now, BP seems to be normal.
However, IG's second move made kkoma's eyes narrow instantly.
Because they moved Tam!
From kkoma's perspective, Tam's importance to IG is actually not low.
There is nothing wrong with this combination of Virustam, and their laning ability is completely sufficient.
The reason why the last game collapsed was not because of the bottom lane group.
Xiaotian was doing military training.
If Ning Wang doesn't come, the bottom lane team will collapse no matter what team it is.
If we really want to move Tam, it should be EDG.
Why do you, IG, move your own Tam?
This move exudes weirdness in its essence.
"Sindra."
After thinking about it, kkoma chose to kill Syndra in the last pick.
Although he didn't know what IG was up to, he decided to keep his troops in place and follow his own BP thinking.
Syndra is very strong in laning phase, and when paired with Rookie who is already very strong, the suppression power is very strong.
In order to ensure Lee Sang-hyuk's experience, it is best to press this Syndra.
The third ban was all targeted at IG's mid laner Rookie.
Leblanc, Clockwork and Syndra!
These three are also the three heroes that Rookie is most confident in.
Two goals and one girl!
IG's third move did not surprise kkoma as they killed Luo.
After all, EDG is on the blue side and will take it first.
IG does not plan to give this Luo to EDG.
"Taliyah."
First, continue to target IG’s middle lane and grab Rock Bird!
According to kkoma, Rookie's proficiency in Ryze is fine, but his control over the ultimate is not outstanding.
In comparison, Taliyah poses a greater threat.
"Titan, Blue Steel Shadow."
Jin Jingzhu spoke in a cold voice.
Since you have decided to play in the early stage, then don't hesitate.
Directly take down two powerful men and women who are extremely fierce in the early stage of the team fight.
"Morgana, the sword girl."
kkoma made a choice, picking up Morgana, who could counter Titan, and then picking up Irelia, who was equally powerful.
"Jace."
In the last pick of the first round, IG took out Jayce.
kkoma's eyes narrowed.
"Buying Jayce against Irelia... Is this a mid-lane Jayce?"
"Isn't the early-stage suppression power of this lineup a bit too strong?"
Xiaotian muttered.
"Do they want to play in the early stages?"
kkoma also has such speculation.
Zoe didn't take it, but took Jace's.
It is better to pair it with top team initiators like Shen and Titan.
IG's early curve has exploded.
It's hard to find a stronger early game combination.
"Maybe it's Draven."
Xu Yuan watched silently and suddenly spoke.
"Titan Draven is very strong in laning."
kkoma nodded silently. He knew that jackeylove could play Draven.
If IG loses this game, they will lose this BO5.
They will definitely not have any scruples this time.
Although kkoma has rarely seen such an extreme style of play that only plays in the early stages, this possibility cannot be ruled out!
"Do you have a hero that can fight Draven?"
He asked.
"Originally there were some, but with Morgana there aren't many anymore."
Xu Yuan shook his head.
There are many combinations that can fight Draven and Titan, but few that include Morgana.
Because Morgana is more of a defensive casting choice.
Although the Q skill has a long control time, it is too difficult to hit in the game.
It's basically a lottery.
Her main functionality is still in E and R.
"Not much? What do you want to play?"
kkoma noticed his "not much" and asked curiously.
"Policewoman, I can beat a policewoman."
Xu Yuan smiled.
The only AD who is as good as Nautilus and Draven when paired with Morgana is Caitlyn.
Only the policewoman and Morgana can produce a strong effect.
Many new generation ADs don’t know how to play Caitlyn at all.
After all, this hero may not be able to take over the game even with all three pieces of equipment now, and his strong periods are only in the early and very late stages.
The current pace is more towards the mid-term, so naturally fewer people are playing.
Moreover, compared with ADs like Kaisa and Xayah, the policewoman's mechanism seems a bit old-fashioned.
Caitlyn has neither the burst of Kaisa nor the life-saving of Xayah, and many new generation ADs don’t play her at all.
Only Xu Yuan is an exception.
Because when he debuted, the older generation of ADs like Bang and Uzi were still at their peak.
If he doesn't train the policewoman, it will be difficult to beat him.
Although because the policewoman has a higher level of education, it is quite difficult for her to train compared to other ADs.
But, I finally practiced it.
"good."
kkoma smiled.
BP entered the second round, and IG was the first to kill Ornn.
EDG counterattacked and knocked down the Captain.
In IG’s last move, they killed Varus.
EDG also killed Galio.
kkoma doesn’t think that this Jayce must be the mid laner, but he still needs to be on guard against him to some extent.
Although Jayce is picked against Irelia, in general it is likely to be the mid lane Jayce.
Because Irelia counters Jayce.
But, this is IG .
They are really capable of making a hard choice.
So to be on the safe side, press Galio to show respect.
Anyway, there are many ban positions.
Xu Yuan in the bottom lane said he can fight, so there is no need to move.
The main point is to believe!
IG’s fourth pick directly took out Draven!
Suddenly, there was a loud exclamation at the scene.
This hero is really rare.
Except for Shuijing Ge a few years ago, there are basically few players who can play this.
Especially this one, when IG was on the edge of the cliff.
Taking out Dezi in the crucial game is definitely not a sign of giving up.
IG, let’s fight hard!
"I'm Chao, Dezi?"
"Titan Draven, Ah Shui seems angry!"
"It doesn't matter. No one moved your AD in the second round. This is the confidence that Yuanzi gave to kkoma. Yuanzi must have a hero that he can play."
"really!"
The barrage was also quite excited when they saw Dezi come out.
After all, A Shui’s signature character is Draven.
This laning matchup in the bottom lane might be quite interesting.
"Policewoman, Spider."
Just like the second time, choose Spider again!
The opposing lineup is visibly strong in the early game, so of course kkoma has to take down the equally strong Spider in the early game.
Isn't it just about playing the early stages?
Then let’s have a try!
It’s IG’s fifth turn, this is IG’s counter position.
“Lucian!”
Kim Jeong-soo took out Lucian without hesitation.
"Ah? The Cleaver Team?"
Guan Zeyuan at the commentary desk looked shocked.
In professional competitions, this kind of kitchen knife team rarely appears.
Although there is no one particularly tanky character in EDG's lineup except for Irelia.
The IG team is reasonable.
But is this really a good choice?
Once Irelia comes up, do they really deal with her in the later stages?
Colonel Guan is not very optimistic.
"The lineup is almost set now. Jayce is indeed used for mid-range play. This IG lineup can indeed put a lot of pressure on EDG in the early stages, but they must try their best to gain enough advantages!"
"IG's offensive pressure is huge!"
"For EDG, their lineup is also quite strong in the early game, and with the presence of a cast like Miss Fortune, their strength in the late game is also guaranteed."
"To be honest, I am more optimistic about EDG."
Colonel Guan was outspoken.
He does prefer EDG's lineup.
There is strength in the early stage and hope in the later stage.
However, IG's lineup is walking on a tightrope.
Once the offensive rhythm is interrupted, the consequences will be very serious.
Although as a famous commentator who is known for his bad luck, Colonel Guan is worried about hurting his favorite player, Yuanzi.
But this is indeed an objective fact. He can't just lie with his eyes open and support IG, right?
"IG is really trying their best. They picked a lineup like this. If they don't have an advantage, they'll just give up."
"No way, it's normal actually. After all, the first two games have proved that they can't compete with EDG in operations."
“This is not a solution…IG feels so uncomfortable.”
“Go IG!”
After the BP ended, the audience gradually came to their senses.
IG's lineup is really hard-working.
The lineups of both teams are as follows:
Blue side EDG:
Top Lane Irelia
Jungle Spider
Mid Single Rock Bird
Bottom lane team: Policewoman and Morgana
Red side IG:
Top Lucian
Jungle Shen
Mid Single Jayce
The bottom lane group is Draven and Titan.
The game begins!
"Go, invade!"
Without any hesitation, King Ning made the decision to invade.
Continuing to follow EDG's routine start is not his style.
Now that we are in this situation...
I really like Jinx’s quote:
Only complete madness makes sense!
When a person dies, birds fly up to the sky; he will live forever.
IG has no confidence in the mid-to-late stages, and betting on the early stages is their only chance.
Baolan's Titan walked in the front, and after reaching the river, he chose to move forward without hesitation.
"Answer it, why should I be afraid of them?!"
When Xiaotian saw IG trying to enter the jungle area, he got angry.
Your level one group is indeed very strong, but we are not bad either.
You come here so blatantly, just wait and see whether I will do anything for you or not.
EDG also moved forward, but was more cautious than IG and their positions were closer.
"Can you hook up?"
A Shui was eager to try.
Isn't it just a level 1 fight? If you lose, you're done, so just fight!
Baolan gritted her teeth and nodded.
He raised his hand and hooked directly into the EDG crowd above the river.
Hit!
This Q is so hard to miss.
EDG sticks together, and it takes a certain level of skill to take advantage of the situation.
“Hooked!”
Baolan's spirits lifted.
His Q hit the Irelia who was walking in front.
However, the Titan who hooked over was immediately targeted by EDG.
Meiko's Q will never miss if it's close to the opponent.
The hit rate of his soft auxiliary skills is still very good. Don’t ask, if you ask, I just practiced it by playing Lulu.
After hitting, the ignition is instantly activated. Xu Yuan learns the Q skill and starts to output!
Xiaotian's spider was just using basic attacks. Even though he had learned E, he held it in his hand and didn't attack immediately.
Control skills must be connected carefully, otherwise the control time will overlap.
The Titan was completely unable to withstand the concentrated fire of five people.
However, Irelia is in the same situation.
After being hit by Q, Smeb can actually survive, just learn W.
After Irelia learns W at level 1, her laning phase is actually pretty good and she doesn't collapse.
And W can save his life.
After all, it is a level one group fight. Even if the opponent's concentrated fire damage is enough, it will take time to deal it out.
If Irelia learns W, she can survive as long as she uses flash.
However, what Smeb learned was...E.
Before he died, he pulled out his second stage E, directly controlling IG to be at the front and output the top, middle and bottom three Cs!
The moment Titan died, Irelia's head was also taken by A Shui's Draven.
So, is this the end of everything?
No!
As Smeb's double-edged sword hit, IG's C position fell into a dizzy state.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ning Wang immediately clicked E and kicked over.
However, Spider's E had caught up with Irelia's E and directly hit A Shui who was walking in front after Titan died.
A Shui is like this, he really dares to fight when he wants to output.
Taliyah's Q combined with Xu Yuan's output instantly reduced A Shui's health!
A Shui was forced to give up Flash, but in doing so he was completely out of touch.
Xu Yuan has been walking A.
Although we didn’t get Titan’s head, don’t we still have a Shen?
After kicking, Ning Wang flashed away immediately, but was killed by Xu Yuan who also flashed away.
With their teammates right next to them, IG had lost the ability to continue fighting and could only watch Ning Wang die.
One for two!
Although the AD also had no flash, he was able to trigger the flash of the opposing jungler and AD.
EDG undoubtedly won in this level 1 team fight.
The only problem is...
"Draven got the head."
"Do you need me to give him military training?"
Xiaotian spoke.
Draven's early damage is explosive.
Although I didn’t get the first blood now.
However, when both ADs don't have flash, even if the policewoman gets the kill, it will be very troublesome and stressful to face a combination like Titan and Draven on the opposite side.
Xiaotian intentionally wanted to help Xu Yuan.
"No, just help me squat a little bit."
Xu Yuan shook his head decisively.
The bottom lane had already been trained in the second game, so it was impossible for A Shui to be unprepared.
There is a high probability that the bottom lane vision is very full.
In this situation where he is already on guard, it is difficult for Xiaotian to seize his opportunity.
It's a complete waste of time.
So even though it was difficult, he still refused.
If we act rashly, and if Prince Ning happens to be behind Dezi, that would be a lot of fun.
"good."
Xiaotian trusted his judgment and said nothing more.
The policewoman went home and repaired a pair of shoes.
What Xu Yuan got was not the first blood either, but just the money for a kill.
There is nothing to consider between attack speed and shoes. Shoes are a must.
Heroes that require pulling, like Miss Fortune and Life Master, have very high requirements for movement speed. Life Master even has a way of playing with four red shoes when going out.
The movement speed of the shoes is also a considerable advantage.
The laning begins!
After A Shui came online, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
“Shoes too.”
Although Draven's movement speed benefit is not low, it shouldn't be like this.
A Shui might have guessed that he would release shoes.
At this time, A Shui did not choose to push the line with all his strength, but chose to push slowly.
While maintaining the ability to grab the second position, he would come up from time to time to exchange blood with Xu Yuan, and avoid pushing the line excessively.
This is Draven's most classic playing style, slowly pushing and exchanging blood.
However, Xu Yuan is not against playing Draven.
Even his Draven... was learned from Ah Shui.
Therefore, not only did we not suffer any loss in this round of blood exchange, but we also gained some advantages by relying on the advantage of range.
Xu Yuan smiled.
"It's just that this is a bit too conventional."
You taught me, idol!
"Bad! He knows my operating habits too well."
Ah Shui's face darkened.
This is the disadvantage of having an opponent who is your friend, because you know him too well.
When Ah Shui stuck out his butt, Xu Yuan knew what he was going to do.
But A Shui couldn't figure out Xu Yuan, because this hanging man changed his fighting style after every fight.
Outrageous!
Hearing the sound of the policewoman's passive skill stacking up headshots, A Shui subconsciously controlled Draven to retreat.
Headshots still hurt.
However, Xu Yuan had no intention of saving the headshot, so he just used the headshot and Q to push the line with all his strength.
Ah Shui was stunned for a moment and became angry.
No, buddy, why are you able to push the line with me, Druid and Titan?
He was furious.
Let Baolan go to the river to place a ward.
After all, the military training last time is still vivid in my mind.
"No, there's no one here, why are you pretending?"
"Brother Lan, push forward! Fuck them!"
When he found that there was no one around, A Shui immediately became arrogant.
Control Dezi to move forward and at the same time give the attack signal.
Although Baolan is usually a cowardly lizard, he is not afraid when playing Titan and pushes forward decisively.
"Q, if you miss, retreat."
Xu Yuan knew very well that he still had to respect this group and just withdraw if it didn't work out.
So he said casually.
"Maybe it's a winner?"
Let Meiko try, what if he hits the target with Q?
After all, the opponent is A Shui, and he will follow up with Q.
Meiko also understood it very well. She just Q'd towards Dezi's position and turned her head.
He didn't think he could win.
However……
"Grass!"
Ah Shui fainted.
As he walked forward, there was still a soldier in front of him.
He didn't even plan to move because this soldier could definitely block him.
But who knew that because the enemy soldier in the front row had little health, this soldier went straight forward after A Shui killed that soldier.
Because of the movement of the soldiers, A Shui was caught off guard by Morgana's Q!
Xu Yuan:?
"Is it really that weird?"
Even Xu Yuan had to believe it at this moment.
Ah Shui and the Q skill probably really attract each other.
The... in this Q can only be described as unbelievable.
You may not encounter this situation even if you play a hundred games and it happens that the soldiers' movement causes you to receive skills.
But Ah Shui just happened to encounter it.
I really don't know whether to say he is unlucky or lucky.
Xu Yuan turned around and kept his distance to give A Shui a basic attack.
Teemo's surprise was revealed above his head.
This expression is not just a random one. He was really surprised that A Shui could take the Q this time.
The AD was controlled, and Baolan didn't dare to use Q casually.
I could only watch Ah Shui get beaten.
How long does Morgana's Q control last?
Three seconds!
Yes, you read it right, three seconds.
Because it is so difficult to hit, once this skill hits, the benefits will explode.
If you are imprisoned by others, at most a sign of imprisonment will appear. If you are hit by Morgana's Q, a special state will appear: Dark Imprisonment
The following instructions are:
This unit cannot be moved for three years .
Of course, this is fake and a meme made up by Riot.
But I have to say that this skill does have a high payoff.
Now, A Shui’s first-level suppression plan has completely failed!
"Can this Q be connected?"
“…I am speechless!”
"You want to blame him for not moving? It seems like he couldn't hit the target in the first place."
"This show is really good. Ah Shui has magnets on his body to attract Q, right?"
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Everyone was silenced.
There's no point blaming him, this Q doesn't look like it can hit the target, and if it were someone else, they would probably not know how to move.
No wonder, he really won again!
It just feels weird.
However, although the bottom lane did not play smoothly due to an accident, IG's mid and top still gained an advantage.
The great thing about the hero Lucian is that he has basically no natural enemies in the top lane.
500 yards is just a pure victim in the bottom lane, but when facing close combat in the top lane, he is the superior one.
AD is on the road station, there is no need to say more about what the next sentence is, right?
She has her own burst damage, so even if Irelia goes all in she may not be able to win.
What's more, Irelia learned E for the level 1 team fight.
So now Theshy has indeed achieved a suppressive effect.
In the middle lane, Taliyah fought against Jayce, and Jayce had the upper hand.
Taliyah's damage in the early stage is too low.
Even clearing the line was a bit difficult.
On the contrary, Jayce can use QRQ to quickly deal with the minion line and gain lane control.
So at this moment, Li Xianghe also temporarily lost the line control.
For IG...
This situation seems to be okay, right?
