The showdown between Thorn Birds and KZ kicked off.
As ten people from both sides entered the Summoner's Rift, the atmosphere became more and more lively.
Almost all Korean audiences hope to do their best to cheer for the contestants on the stage.
"The KZ team is very aggressive at level 1. Zoe still has skill points that she hasn't learned yet. From the looks of it, they should be ready to collide with the Thorn Birds in the level 1 group."
In the commentary box, Guan Zeyuan said thoughtfully as he watched the five KZ players press in together.
"But to be honest, the Thorn Birds aren't actually that scared. With the Titans around, the Thorn Birds' level 1 initiative will be very strong, and there are also skill points left for the small cannon. A small cannon learns skills at level 1. The cannon is still very strong. Once one of them dies, it can be slowed down by continuous sitting and cooperate with teammates to complete the harvest."
Brother Crystal was also analyzing from the side.
However, when he mentioned Xiaopao's skills, Guan Zeyuan and Wang Duoduo looked at each other. Both of them looked a little strange, as if some memories had been brought up.
At level 1, the Thorn Birds did not choose to press in as a group, but stood in their own jungle area with a defensive stance. Therefore, when everyone from the KZ team appeared, the Thorn Birds chose to take the initiative to retreat.
Although their first-level team does have the advantage of taking the lead, this advantage can only be realized when the Thorn Birds are in a successful ambush situation.
But now that Thorn Bird's people are scattered, if Titan hooks up, it will be no different than sending him away.
Both Silas's E skill and Camille's E skill can form instant backhand control, so the Thorn Bird gave up the risk and chose to retreat.
Karma threw out an RQ and stole some money from the retreating Titan. Then KZ left a field of vision in the jungle area of the Thorn Birds and quickly retreated, not daring to go deeper.
From KZ's perspective, they were not sure where the other Thorn Birds who were not within their field of vision were.
Both sides shook hands and made peace.
But soon Liu Qingsong changed his scan and went to the lower half of the jungle, emptying out the two eye positions left by KZ.
Liu Qingsong, who was standing against the wall, removed the false eyes in the red buff area, while Li Luo raised his hand and clicked away the red buff. His back was against the grass, which was the view of the grass at the entrance to the lower half of the wild area under the blue square.
The experience in the ward position made the KZ bottom lane duo pay attention. Both parties are online normally.
I have to mention that it is not easy for the bottom lane combination of Ezreal and Karma to push the lane.
When the two-player Thorn Birds lane, which helped the blind monk open the jungle, came online, I happened to see Ezreal, who was pushing the lane quickly, paired with Karma.
"They should keep vision in the jungle."
Liu Qingsong glanced at the river and said, "In that case, the eyes made in the jungle before are most likely those of Zoe and Silas."
"learn."
Xiangguo nodded slightly.
It is actually not difficult for Liu Qingsong to have such an analysis.
On the top road, Camille faces a vampire. Although Camille is short-handed, the vampire is so weak in the early stage that once Camille reaches level 2, he can exert suppressive power.
In the KZ configuration, at least two lanes must be in an optimal online state to meet their tactical needs.
It is impossible for Zoe to get the lane right against a small cannon. Therefore, Zoe will naturally be in a safer position near the tower in the middle lane in the early stage of the laning, and the need for eye positions on both sides is relatively small.
Silas, as the jungler, should have done the vision and then went back to change the scan, so under Liu Qingsong's judgment, the possibility that the two of them had done the vision is very high.
For junglers, with online feedback information, the target ideas will naturally become clear. Game time is 3 minutes and 19 seconds.
As if he realized something, uzz immediately fed back the information to Raal who was on the road.
KZ's ability to advance into the intercontinental competition with a not-so-luxurious lineup relies on their excellent tactical execution capabilities.
Raal, who is called "brother", is here
After getting the news, he quickly hooked and kicked the wall and retreated without saying a word.
And his second hook lock just kicked the blind monk who was outflanking him from behind.
After kicking the blind monk unconscious, the two exchanged a wave of health with each other. The vampire was too far away to follow up, and Raal was unharmed this time.
However, the line of troops was controlled by the vampires. Uzuzz also went directly to the top lane to back up Camille without saying a word.
The Thorn Bird also knew that Silas was following behind, so the Incense Pot immediately retreated, and the gank on the road was stopped. Zoe in the middle was suppressed by Xiye's small cannon in front of the defense tower, and could only replenish the tower knife. After knowing the approximate location of Silas, Xiye unceremoniously put explosive sparks on the defense tower and tried to start. Eat tapioca.
Zoe didn't have a good solution for this.
Fortunately, it is not difficult for Zoe to repair the tower knife. KZ's mid lane has a slight disadvantage, but this disadvantage is not obvious.
What really excites Korean fans is the laning situation in the bottom lane.
Putting aside everything else, it is not difficult to see from the mini-map that Ezreal has pressed his troops in front of the blue square tower in the bottom lane.
Moreover, Kai'Sa was relatively behind in last-hitting in the early stages.
However, when the director cut the camera to the bottom lane, many players who had a certain understanding of the game discovered the clues.
First of all, in the face of Ezreal and Karma, Kai'Sa, who has now reached level 3, is suppressed under the tower, but her blood volume is relatively healthy.
Liu Qingsong's Titan was knocked out of a bottle of blood medicine, and its condition was only two-thirds.
Li Luo hasn't taken any blood medicine yet, and if we count the last hits he lags behind, as long as Li Luo eats all the tower knives, the last hits of both sides will be equal.
Although the Korean audience at the scene was happy, deft, as the person involved, did not feel very comfortable.
Objectively speaking, whether it is a fixed perspective or a mobile perspective, Ezreal's experience on the blue side is better than that on the red side. Although this impact is minimal for professional players, continuous attempts to consume Kai'Sa are fruitless. Later, this discomfort gradually amplified in deft's heart.
Similar to Thresh, once the skills are too empty, you will gradually feel that you have lost control of this hero.
They got Ezreal and Karma but failed to perform as well as they should in laning, which shows that the tactical tilt given by the coach failed to work.
Deft, who has been holding back from the World Championship until now, has the concept of revenge. If he hadn't already had a very mature mentality as a veteran, he might have been anxious while fighting.
Even if there is no rush, deft is still very dissatisfied with the performance of himself and his support.
Ezreal and Karma's suppression couldn't be maintained for long.
As the junglers of both sides cleared out the wild monsters in the first round and returned to the city to replenish supplies, the duo had to consider the factors of jungle gank.
However, League of Legends is not a game where you think about it and just do it.
Game time is 5 minutes.
Li Luo turned around to avoid Ezreal's Q skill and then directly pulled E to press forward. He took the lead in attacking and used the cluster blade basic attack to consume Ezreal.
deft's reaction was also very quick. He stretched his body to the side and cooperated with Karma's shield to try to counterattack.
However, the blind monk who came out from behind made deft's expression slightly change.
The blind monk's E flashed directly into deft's Ezreal.
deft realized that his jungler was no longer nearby and decisively dodged to get out of position, then turned around and tried to predict and avoid Xiangguo's Q skill.
It's a pity that Laoyouzi Xiangguo doesn't plan to QQ immediately.
He is waiting.
Waiting for someone to provide him with stable control.
Liu Qingsong's Titan moved.
The hook flashed out, aiming directly at Ezreal!
However, at the same time, there was another flash of golden light, and Karma actually dodged directly and used his body to block between Titan and Ezreal.
Titan's heavy hook intercepted by Kalma, Thorn Birds
The tactical objectives also changed instantly.
"Kill Karma."
When Li Luo finished speaking, the blind monk's Q-Sky Sound Wave was already thrown at Karma. After hitting, he kicked Karma directly. Li Luo, who was approaching, also quickly followed up with the output. The explosion of the three quickly took Karma away. .
Firstblood!
First blood is born.
"Beautiful! Xiang Guo's unexpected gank position successfully caught the KZ team's bottom lane flaw, and the coordination of this wave of Thorn Birds is too delicate!"
Guan Zeyuan applauded in the commentary box.
"Tusin's pure love, if he doesn't block the angle this time, the alpaca will definitely die."
Brother Jingshuang also said with admiration: "But I can only say that this Luo Brother has gained an advantage in the early stage. One kill, one blood, and four hundred yuan are directly obtained. What do you say about this wave of thorn birds? Yes. To get the little dragon or to eat the tapioca from the lower tower... They chose to eat the tapioca. This is the treatment of the gods!" The first dragon is the fire dragon.
From a tactical perspective, the Fire Dragon's team advantage over the Thorn Bird will undoubtedly be greater.
But the Thorn Birds chose to let Li Luo take the tapi after this wave of kills. Firstly, it was because Silas was there, and the deft Ezreal brought flash and TP.
If you take Xiaolong rashly, you may be pulled by KZ. The Korean team's ability to pull team resources is quite good. Once they pull Ezreal back to complete the equipment, there may be variables in the frontal 4v4 situation.
Secondly, allowing Li Luo to develop as quickly as possible is also one of the tactical systems that Thorn Birds is very skilled at.
When Li Luo grows up, what is in the canyon that doesn't belong to them?
As expected.
The game time was 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Xiangguo had excellent vision in the bottom lane and was threatened by the Titans who were about to hit the KZ team at 6 and successfully stole Xiaolong.
uzz was not idle either. After trying to gank the cannon to no avail, he went to the top lane and forced out the vampire's flash.
So far, both sides still have only one casualty breakout.
It's not that the Thorn Birds don't want to find opportunities, but that the KZ team's defense is indeed quite good.
This is somewhat similar to his style when he was in SKT. It was a common situation at that time to not see anyone for twenty minutes.
But the thorn bird is still good at breaking turtle shells.
Game time is 8 minutes and 50 seconds.
Liu Qingsong wandered in the middle, and when he met the big move, he forced Zoe to dodge. Then when the Titan's big move sent Zoe flying, Xiangguo Q entered the defense tower and kicked out by touching his eyes.
This uzz came in time. He stole Xiangguo's ultimate move and got close to Xiangguo. He used the blind monk's flash to kick Xiangguo into the second tower of his home lane while still on CD.
Although Zoe was instantly killed by a set of cannons that jumped up from the front, Xiangguo was also killed.
The Tapi in the middle was taken down twice by Xiao Pao Shuang. In addition to the one level taken away in the early lane, Xiao Pao was already ahead of the three-tier Tapi in the single lane.
This also paved the way for the explosion of the first tower in the middle. Game time is 12 minutes.
When Xiang Guo moved Canyon Pioneer, Silas ganked the bottom lane and then stole Titan's ultimate move to lock Li Luo. However, Li Luo hit Silas with his backhand and directly handed him over, taking the Titan ultimate move that Silas had stolen and moved to a safe position. Liu Qingsong was forced out of the flash.
Although Li Luo's escape was brilliant, Ezreal took advantage of Kai'Sa's being knocked away to follow up with his ultimate move, and combined with the pressing Karma RQ to lower Kai'Sa's health line, plus Serra Si's output forced Li Luo to dodge and evacuate.
On the bottom tower, three layers of the tower were eaten by three people.
However, KZ's middle tower failed because of this.
After the first tower was destroyed, Xiye's Xiaopao teamed up with Xiangguo's blind monk and went on the road to outflank Raal's Camille. In the end, Xiaopao gained a kill.
The head count of both sides came to 3 to 1.
"The second little dragon feels like KZ wants to compete for it."
Looking at the situation on the court and the fact that there is still more than one minute left,
After refreshing the little dragon, Brother Crystal said thoughtfully: "To be honest, this wave of thorn birds is not easy to catch. Aleflando's vampire on the road made a mistake when he killed Camille just now. He shouldn't have used the ultimate move. Yes, I gave up my big move just for an assist. This is definitely a big mistake."
Facing his old teammate Brother Crystal, he outputted unceremoniously.
And his analysis does make sense.
Although the Thorn Birds have an economic advantage of nearly 4,000 yuan on the scene, on average, this economic advantage only means more small items per person than KZ.
Although a small item has advantages on the battlefield, KZ has certain lineup advantages.
Camille's first piece of equipment is already available, and it initially has a certain combat effectiveness.
Silas can steal the vampire's ultimate move, and Zoe's poke in complex terrain is also quite disgusting.
Not to mention Ezreal and Karma, the ability of these two to pull together in team battles is very exaggerated, and Koreans also like and are best at this style of play.
The ability of the Thorn Birds to start a group will be compromised if the Titan does not flash.
In addition, vampires have no ultimate moves
Not easy to pick up.
Fortunately, the thorn bird was not in a hurry.
The second little dragon is also a fire dragon.
The Thorn Birds did not choose to compete with KZ forcibly, but began to lead the lane after receiving pressure from the front. Li Luo's Kai'Sa switched to the top lane. This situation was unexpected by the KZ team. The top tower was also blocked. Kai'Sa clicked it quickly.
Although KZ got Xiaolong, the economic gap between the two sides was stretched to nearly 5,000 yuan.
