After the lineup selection was completed, Abramovich left the field and shook hands with the opponent's KKoma coach, while the players sitting on the e-sports chairs quickly changed their summoner skills and talent runes.
This preparation process until the game is successfully loaded is the time for the team to discuss the layout of the first-level team and the initial split.
Meiko reminded, "There is no need to take the initiative to change lanes. Our bottom lane is stronger than the opponent's duo, so we need to capture the lane."
The factory director also gave instructions, "If you don't need a group at the first level, we should first insert the wards below the high ground to detect and change lanes. If the other side has no control, we should not dare to take the initiative to start a group."
The preliminary strategy was discussed in two sentences.
The director looked at the blue assassin hero in SKT's mid lane position. He still couldn't understand Faker's last move, "Mika, what do you mean by Faker picking a Murloc as his second choice? I remember Murloc Fitz didn't Isn’t she very Conte Enchantress? The first six levels can only withstand pressure, and after the sixth level, it is only 50-50..."
"Mika doesn't know either." Mixia lifted her hair from her ears.
She also didn't quite understand SKT's purpose of deliberately letting faker take the countet position, but in the end they only chose the assassin to face off.
But no matter what hero the opponent's mid laner picks, since she dares to release Enchantress, she must make her pay the price for BP in the lane!
To put it in layman's terms, this is a sensitive part of hers that even a faker is not allowed to touch!
LeBlanc, the LeBlanc of Trickery, entered the Summoner's Rift. In order to suppress her more quickly, Mixia used the bottom-of-the-box routine, the three-red long sword that Showmaker had used in S11.
Although the talent still contains the conventional thunder, the early laning effect is only slightly inferior to that of the long sword conqueror Enchantress in later generations. When using long hands to defeat short hands, the AD equipment will definitely be more ferocious than the regular Dolan Ring!
After buying the equipment, she left the spring and went straight to the middle lane. As judged before entering the game, both lineups lacked strong control skills, and the bottom lane was also strong against Zuer, so there was no active conflict at level one.
The director quickly noticed something strange about the mid laner's equipment and gave him a close-up.
Miller was pleasantly surprised, "The Enchantress's outfit was actually a long sword and three red swords! I remember she had a Dolan Sword in a regular season game before, but I didn't expect that in the MSI semifinals, Mika brought us a new set of understandings!" I don’t know about faker, huh…”
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence because the director's camera had already arrived at the little fish man.
And Faker's little murloc is not a conventional corruption potion. In the equipment column, there were two items lying there.
The doll next to him shouted in surprise, "Wow! It's unbelievable, the little murloc is actually——cloth armor and four reds coming out! Faker predicted Mika's outfit!"
Miller couldn't help but worry, "When the cloth armor comes out, it can restrain the enchantress who comes out with the long sword! Does the enchantress lose blood when she hits the murloc? It turns out that this is SKT's special target. As expected, Mika's hero selection and outfit habits are well understood... …”
The audience in the Korean live broadcast room gained confidence and kept praising Faker and KKoma, while the audience in the Chinese official live broadcast room immediately became nervous.
"Mika's matchup seems a little bad now..."
"I think Dolan Shield shouldn't be able to restrain the Long Sword Fairy..."
"The previous one is a bit confusing. The fishman itself is very passive and can resist level A. Now that Dolan Shield is out, how do you fight the Enchantress in the lane?"
"Indeed, SKT's move is very insidious and easy to use! We all thought the focus would be on BP, but we didn't expect that Faker would use restraint on equipment!"
"I'm super. I have to say that Faker is worthy of being a two-time world champion. He actually managed to defeat Mika-chan with his outfit at the beginning..."
…
On the court, the two teams arranged their vision, and then returned to the middle. Mika and Faker finally saw their opponent's equipment.
SKT's assistant Wolf who was walking in the bottom lane was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, "Nice, Xianghe, we bet on Mika's outfit. Every decision she makes, there is no secret in front of us!"
faker replied, "Well, this is just the beginning. The equipment is correct, just to give my lane an early advantage..."
But even though he was always serious, an imperceptible smile couldn't help but bloom at the corner of his mouth.
Before this semi-final, many viewers and commentators speculated that skt was preparing a big move for the semi-final. Yes, the team is indeed studying ways to defeat edg all the time, and has prepared seven or eight BP strategies.
But if you think that EDG, which MSI defeated SKT through BP trickery last year, will easily fall into the BP trap, then you would be underestimating Abramovich.
At the same time, if you think that skt has been reduced to the point where it has to gain a huge advantage in BP to have a chance to defeat edg, then it is too small to underestimate the current world champion edg, and himself, who is known as the devil faker!
As a big devil who has won two world championships and became famous all over the world since his debut, how could he be timid against a mere Sakura girl?
What he really wants to do is not to counter the hero, but to choose a hero who can show off his skills, suppress Mika from the beginning of the laning, and even kill him solo with a small murloc just like what Mika did to him in the World Championship last year. other side.
But now, betting on the right equipment means that there is an opportunity to kill the Enchantress in the early stage!
…
On the other side, Meixia saw the little fishman's costume at the same time, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah! Dolan Shield!"
This was the first time since time travel that she was countered by a counterattack. This feeling was very strange, as if every thought she had was being seen by fakers and the SKT coaching staff...
But I have to admire the opponent. While other mid laners are still following her to learn the routines, the world's number one mid laner is already thinking about strategies to deal with it.
After being briefly surprised, she found it interesting.
In the previous life, no player had ever been treated like this in front of a peak faker!
At this time, teammates also noticed the mid laner's outfit. The director was the first to express concern, "Faker actually went out with cloth armor and four reds?! Well, Mika, you are not easy to beat the long sword enchantress, do you want me..."
Mixia smiled and replied, "Well, it's not easy to fight. But it doesn't matter. Factory Director, you don't have to come here to waste time in the wild. He has four red armors and you can't catch him to death."
Meiko noticed her smile carefully, "Hey, Mika, why are you laughing?"
Mixia expressed her thoughts, "I even forced Faker to wear cloth armor and go out. Doesn't this mean that I am very powerful!"
The factory director no longer worried about the middle lane, "Haha, that's really what you can say, Mika..."
After a short team coaching session, the soldiers arrived on the line, and the battle between Enchantress and Xiaoyu began.
Meixia first used the attack distance to seize the line rights, a pawn, a pawn...
But the little fish man was not to be outdone, and started to hit the target in front of the Enchantress.
Then Mika hit the little murloc A through the minions. It dealt 55 points of damage and a 10 bonus from the long sword. When it hit Fitz, who had 39 armor and passive normal attack damage reduction, only a value of more than 30 appeared. …
In other words, if the little murloc with 570 blood drops stands still, it will take nearly twenty hits for her to die. This does not include the four thick bottles of red medicine and the upgrade recovery.
After the first wave of troops was cleared, the Murloc did not miss a last hit, and the loss was only a little over 100 HP, which was completely within the acceptable range for short-handed heroes to beat long-handed heroes.
The long-sword enchantress was indeed suppressed by the cloth-armored fish man!
