July 8th.
The last day of the Intercontinental Tournament.
It's also the final.
LPL vs. LCK.
After deliberation, the LPL finally decided to adopt the tactic of redemption.
Intercontinental competition, the first game of the finals.
IG Trident faced off against Galaxy Battleship KT.
"Is there any pressure?"
Looking at the person opposite, the atmosphere in IG’s voice is simply lively.
"What's the pressure? Just do it and it's over!"
Ah Shui twisted his neck, as if a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
"The opposite person is the world champion!"
Jian Jian laughed and teased.
"Aren't you the same?"
A few people were laughing and joking, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.
KT's starting five are Smeb in the top lane, Score in the jungle, Ucal in the middle, Deft in the bottom lane, and Mata as an assistant!
These players can be said to be extremely popular players in the LCK division.
Needless to mention the bottom lane duo, they were two of the ten three-star players back then.
Mata is the world champion of S4.
Although Deft does not have the championship honors now, in another time and space, he inherited the final glory of the ten Samsung disciples and successfully reached the top!
As for several other people, their later lives seemed to have ended early, but in this time period, they are at their peak.
Top laner Smeb was once known as the best player in the world.
Among the top laner rankings announced by Riot Games.
Smeb ranked first, Khan ranked second, and theshy ranked third.
(This ranking is not given now, but in the future.)
Smeb is also the first top laner in the world to achieve 1,000 kills.
And jungler Score is a very legendary player.
Once upon a time, when he was an AD player, he took a policewoman and his teammate took a robbery.
Yes, it is the Yue Lun who has been mentioned repeatedly and has never been forgotten.
During the Double Tribulation War, he was the person who experienced it personally.
It's just been turned into a background board.
His teammate at the time was one of the four assistants named M. During the spring split, coach Mafa led IG to 18 consecutive victories.
Of course, Score was not called this name at that time, and it was not well-known.
The most impressive thing is that he is as stable as an old dog and basically immortal.
But with Deft, imp and other ADs leaving, Score also changed its position.
After going round and round, he became a jungler and came to KT.
He has a title called the Soul of KT.
But compared to this, people prefer to call him the God of Junglers!
Yes, a person without a championship is more popular than a stupid chicken!
From here we can see how terrifying his strength is.
The S championship is a matter for five people, but personal strength is one's own.
After Benji has retired, he is now the well-deserved jungler of the LCK.
He is just like UZI, controlling thunder and lightning in his own position. Although he does not have the S crown, it does not affect people's liking for him.
The reason why he is similar to UZI is because he is destined to be restrained by SKT.
His career didn't seem to have much to do with the championship. He met SKT again and again, and then fell again and again.
But this does not prevent him from becoming the jungle god.
Sometimes you like a player not just because of his honor.
As for the mid laner Ucal, the deepest impression is that he dealt 2080 damage, which is lower than Xiaohu’s 2200. It will basically last a lifetime.
This time, KT chose the blue side, while IG was on the red side.
As the first game of the competition in the division, points are naturally crucial.
Both sides want to win first.
Especially IG, who reunited with Trident, is full of confidence.
As soon as they came up, KT first pressed down Qinggangying, Zoe, and Ice!
"KT's bans are very targeted. Ning's Qinggangying, Rookie's Zoe, and Simple Hanbing. It can be seen that KT is very afraid of this Hanbing, otherwise it would not be the first three moves. Ban!"
Miller was delighted.
This is the card!
It just means that you have no way to deal with it, you can only press it directly and occupy a position.
As long as you dare to let it out, I will take it!
And as long as you take it, you must be prepared to lose.
That’s how confident you are!
There has been previous performance, and now when other teams face IG, this is a point they have to pay attention to.
"IG has pressed down Nightmare and Thalia. They are heroes that can support quickly. They simply need to roam. When the time comes, Jack will be alone online. It will be very uncomfortable to release these heroes. The third hand pressed down Deposit this version of Crow which is very strong.”
In comparison, the ban people on IG are quite satisfactory.
"Ouch, KT stole the sword demon first!"
It's a pity to have long hair.
(At this time, major events are basically Haier brothers plus long hair)
After all, theshy had just returned, and his stunning appearance as a sword-wielding god descended from the earth, which made people very trustworthy.
"I originally thought that theshy could get Sword Demon, but unfortunately KT snatched it first. It's a bit of a pity, but IG can get Pig Girl."
Several commentators expressed their own opinions.
"If Sword Demon and Pig Girl are on the same side, they will be very powerful. After all, in this version, Sword Demon is a bit bulky. Let's see what IG will choose!"
"Oh, I got the wine barrel first. It seems I'd better get the hero to Ning first so that he can feel more comfortable in the jungle!"
"The second hand is to show Ize, do you want to take AD first? No, instead, do you want to take Ryze?"
"The midfielder with Ryze and Barrel has a bit of control, burst, and strong opening. It's a very good combination."
"Huh? Change, take Verus first!"
"If you choose Verus, it should be difficult for the opponent to choose Tetsuo and go down the lane. After all, Tetsuo's hands are too short. Facing a long hand like Verus, it will be very uncomfortable in the lane."
"KT's second and third hands are directly between Zhu Mei and Shen. Oops, KT's first three hands are really good. Zhu Mei is very strong in conjunction with the Sword Demon, and there can be an extra Shen at any time for support."
"The three Uenosuke are very powerful in combat. The most important thing is that they handle control, front row, and output all at once."
“Look at what’s on the third hand of IG.”
"Rize, we still won! This midfielder combination is very good."
Both sides began to enter the second round of bans.
IG directly eliminated Tetsuo. After the revision, this thing is very difficult to deal with. It is very annoying to go down the road.
The last move was to press down Ize in a targeted manner.
After all, Deft’s Izawa is definitely the signature hero.
Then IG got a knife girl for theshy.
Each generation of versions is a god, and each generation of versions is a knife girl.
The top laner is too strong, go ahead girl!
The mid laner is too strong, go ahead girl!
AD is too strong, go girl!
Is the sword girl too weak? Do it again and keep cutting!
"Theshy Sword Girl is also a good choice to fight the Sword Demon. Of course, this Sword Girl may also take the middle route."
"KT chose Vel'Koz with the fourth move, and Jayce with the last move."
Several commentators couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw KT's last two choices after knocking off Mundo and Ornn.
"KT has revitalized its lineup. The bottom lane combination of Jace Gashen and Ueno Suke are very capable in fighting, taking into account both the front row and entering the field.
The last two chose two long hands.
On the other hand, IG is a bit fragile. There is no front row. I think they can get a piece of meat in the last hand and see how they choose to revitalize their lineup! "
"Simple what do you want?"
Coach Jin’s Chinese is not very good, but it is very convenient for simple communication, that is, he can speak Korean directly.
"The combination of Shen and Jayce in the bottom lane is very strong. Which one do you think is better?"
After hearing Coach Jin's words, Jian Jian did not respond immediately.
This time, Coach Jin and the commentator were both confused by the opponent's choice.
Their inherent thinking is that the mage takes the middle path.
So naturally I didn’t expect that KT’s move was actually Vel’Koz taking the bottom lane and Jayce taking the middle lane.
In another time and space, IG was tricked like this.
This time Vel'Koz directly blinded them.
It is precisely for this reason that IG lost this game and put the pressure on the following teams.
"Vel'Koz goes down the lane... then choose him!"
"What? Vel'Koz walking down the road?"
After hearing these simple words, Coach Jin's expression changed.
But if you think about it carefully, it is possible.
Jace is originally a super swing hero who can go up, middle and down.
If Jace goes mid or top, and Vel'Koz and Shen go bottom...
Coach Jin was frightened when he thought of this possibility.
"Coach, I choose this!"
Saying that, without waiting for his consent, he directly selected a hero's avatar and clicked OK.
"See my power!"
A deep voice sounded.
Coach Jin didn't say much when he saw the simple choice.
Because simplicity comes with a lot of autonomy.
The reason for this is naturally due to good performance and strong strength.
"Huh? Xerath?"
Seeing that IG actually chose Xerath in the last move, I was puzzled.
"After taking Xerath, isn't IG's lineup too fragile? And their AP damage is too much!"
The three mage heroes, Gragas, Ryze, and Xerath, can just stack magic resistance on the opposite side!
"Without a stable front row, IG's lineup is really prone to accidents. If the Sword Demon attacks, there's nothing they can do!"
Miller also frowned.
He very much hoped that this was a mistake, but unfortunately, until the heroes started to be exchanged, BP was not restarted.
"Um?"
Seeing KT's exchange, several people were surprised.
"Vel'Koz walking down the road?"
Seeing this choice, apart from being puzzled, they didn't feel much at all.
The choice between the two sides does not appear directly, but is a constant battle of wits and courage that is always going on.
After a while, Sword Girl went up, and then Ryze went up.
The double defense struggled for a while, and it was not until the time was almost over that the lineup finally appeared.
Blue side KT.
In the top lane, Jace, fight the Wild Boar Girl, the Sword Demon in the middle lane, and Vel'Koz in the bottom lane to be cautious.
Red square IG.
Ryze in the top lane, Jungle Barrel in the jungle, Sword Girl in the middle lane, and Verus Gazelas in the bottom lane.
"Okay, the first game of the 2018 Asian Tournament finals, IG vs. KT, let's get into an exciting game!"
"Vek's is playing the bottom lane, it's a shame they figured it out!"
Ah Shui complained that he just suggested taking Morgana.
With Morgana here, she is a counter for Pig Girl. If you react quickly enough, you can use Morgana's shield to offset Pig Girl's ultimate move.
With simple strength, he naturally believed that he could do it.
But if Morgana is taken, it will be difficult for them to face Vel'Koz down the road!
"To be honest, IG's BP doesn't have an advantage this time!"
The game has not yet entered, and the commentator is analyzing the choices of both sides.
"KT's choice is really unexpected."
Miller sighed.
"The Blade Girl was chosen because she wanted to beat Vel'Koz. Against Warriors, the Blade Girl didn't have the advantage. KT chose to take Vel'Koz to the bottom lane, perfectly avoiding the Blade Girl's Counter.
Jess's battle against Ryze on the top lane was also quite uncomfortable, and the same was true for Sword Girl's battle against Sword Demon in the middle lane. If he hadn't unexpectedly chosen Xerath in the bottom lane, Verus would not have had the hand length advantage! "
"Yes, the choices of both sides are very unexpected. Let's see what the final result will be!"
The choice is over, and at this time they can only choose to believe in the players.
After entering the game, Jian Jian did not choose the auxiliary equipment, but unexpectedly chose a dark seal.
"Fuck, what do you want to do?"
Seeing his equipment, Ah Shui Flax fell down.
"Don't worry too much about the tools. This army line is yours, and the heads are mine. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!"
Hearing what Jian Jian said, Ah Shui immediately understood and said hurriedly, Brother Shan, don't worry, he'll just lie down!
I don't like Mata very much.
Not because of his madness.
They are all young geniuses, who will obey whom?
This is not a problem.
What really makes him annoying is his professional attitude.
Jera the Windspeaker!
One-handed Jace!
Whether it's in a game or in rankings, he doesn't like people who have this kind of teammate mentality.
The simplicity of the past will never surrender no matter how desperate the situation is.
Although it is a low-end game, it has its own persistence.
Believe that everything is possible until the last moment.
Nowadays, for the sake of efficiency, he sometimes takes the initiative, just to quickly start the next one.
But he really hates people who are actors, give away people's lives, and have a teammate mentality.
Even hanging up doesn't bother him.
Because there are many reasons for hanging up.
In addition to people who hung up due to quarrels, some were due to temporary matters, some were due to power outages, and some were due to poor Internet speed.
There are various reasons and can be forgiven.
"Educate them well."
It's easy to get online quickly.
There is nothing special about the start.
The other side didn't give them a chance, so if they catch them here, they won't get much benefit. Even if they can kill people, they might be able to replace each other, and they don't know how many key skills they will have to hand by then.
In this case, it is better not to fight and keep the skills.
On the other side, KT's bottom lane is also very relaxed.
They are three stars and ten, and they have dominated the bottom lane for a whole year.
Directly defeat the existence of the whole world.
At this time, facing IG's bottom lane, I was naturally confident.
Jiake Dancing is just a new AD AD. Although he was the world champion last year, he only became a support player this year and has only played a few games in his career. He is really not worthy of their attention.
As veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, they naturally have such confidence.
After coming online, Deft directly showed some care for the younger players.
However, Vel'Koz's skills are easy to dodge, so he was easily pulled away by the two of them.
Ah Shui began to accumulate strength.
He believed in simplicity, so he believed he could do it.
Although Deft kept moving, a bright arcane chain flew out and easily stopped Vel'Koz in his tracks.
This kind of directional skill is simply impossible to empty.
Shen's sword array can't block skills, so naturally it can't help Deft.
After simply immobilizing Deft, Ah Shui also fired an arrow that had been charged to the limit.
Immediately, Deft's blood volume dropped.
“At the beginning, Vel’Koz wanted to exchange blood, but was separated by the IG bottom lane duo, and IG counterattacked.
With this simple skill, the hit rate is really outrageous. Deft was unable to pull away and was immobilized. Ah Shui hit a high amount of damage with one arrow. Deft suffered a loss during the initial test! "
The doll suppressed a laugh.
They are no strangers to Deft and Mata. After all, these two have played in the LPL for many years and are old acquaintances.
But now that they are back in the LCK, they are the enemy!
After the first trial, Deft became a lot more honest.
The support on the opposite side is a master!
He came to a conclusion instantly.
He had tried his best to pull back just now, but he still couldn't escape and was hit from the longest distance.
The opponent's control of distance is really good.
As for Verus's attack, it wasn't too eye-catching.
Shooting a fixed target is just a basic skill for AD.
The bottom lane is not stable. After finishing the last hit, they are looking for opportunities to consume the opponent.
The only disadvantage for KT was that Shen couldn't help at this time.
Although Vel'Koz's hands are very long, Xerath is not bad either. In addition, there is also Varus, so in a one-on-two situation, Deft can't beat him at all.
Fortunately, Shen's sword array can block A, so he is not afraid of Verus's normal attacks, which saves Vel'Koz a lot of damage.
"Boom!"
"Assi!"
This is the third time Deft has received a standing penalty.
Just when he wanted to attack the artillery soldiers, he was immediately stopped and watched helplessly as the sports car was taken over by the soldiers.
Deft was almost furious.
For AD, the artillery soldiers are Ferraris.
Now I have lost a Ferrari. If I round it up, damn, the loss is over 100 million!
What made him most uncomfortable was not this, but Xerath's dizziness, which he couldn't avoid at all.
No matter how he moves, the opponent's attack follows him like a shadow and is bound to hit.
It's even more outrageous than cheating.
And compared with the beginning, Xerath didn't have nothing to do after he fainted.
After Xerath, who was already at Level 2, stunned Vel'Koz, he received a W Seat of Energy in seconds.
Moreover, this seat of energy exploded under Deft's feet, but it accurately avoided the minions on one side without pushing the lane at all.
Then Ah Shui followed up with an arrow, followed by a rain of evil spirit arrows.
After Deft is decelerated, output begins.
Mata on the side quickly activated the sword formation to protect Deft and retreat.
"This set of combos is so smooth!"
It looked like he could simply immobilize Deft with a few E in a row, and now he even used a small combo of EW, combined with Ah Shui, to instantly cripple Deft.
With Vel'Koz's health level, he simply didn't dare to move forward at this time.
Although he took the blood bottle and was slowly recovering, it was obvious that he had no way to deal with the two IG bottom laners at this time.
Vel'Koz has long hands, that's right!
But Xerath is also very long!
Vel'Koz is explosively high, and Xerath is also high.
The most critical thing is Deft's skill hit rate, which is not at the same level as simplicity.
E, which is bound to hit, leaves Deft with no room for maneuver.
After being stunned, subsequent damage is inevitable.
(End of chapter)
