RNG's failure only taught LPL fans one lesson: respect the version.
After RNG was eliminated, the most discussed thing in LPL was their BP and hero pool.
The five Galios in the past, and the two-hundred-pound Mantian Feiyu, as well as this season's Sword Demon and Sword Girl, have become the talking points for fans after the game.
It was also from this time on that they subconsciously believed that this season they should respect the version, and the top lane position should be the hero of version T0.
However, there is one exception.
"If this Olaf is played by someone else, I won't feel anything wrong, but if it is in his hands, why do I feel a little flustered."
Guan Zeyuan expressed his concerns.
Maitreya followed up and said: "I think you are not the only one who is worried. The audience in front of the screen must also be worried. With Zhuang Tian's current record, even if he pulls out a promise hand or a Galen, I feel very good. Argument! This fear comes from his amazing personal winning rate."
Second child: "Yes! The most critical thing for us now is that we must win the next game first! Break Zhuang Tian's unbeaten record, so that our BP will not be so passive. No matter what hero G2 takes on the road, we will You won’t be so flustered.”
Guan Zeyuan: "Come on! Let's look forward to seeing if Jess from IG will bring us a different surprise!"
Let’s first look at the lineup comparison between the two sides.
IG on the blue side, G2 on the red side.
Top laner: Jace VS Olaf.
Jungler: Xin Zhao VS Pig Girl.
Mid laner: Enchantress VS Ryze.
AD: Kasha VS Xayah.
Assist: Lao Niu VS Luo.
In terms of lineup, IG's lineup is obviously more in line with the version, and the heroes selected for each position are also heroes that IG players are familiar with.
In terms of BP, IG can be said to have won this one.
As for the outcome, it all depends on the players' laning performance.
After getting a familiar lineup, IG also planned a wave of first-level groups in the early stage.
The main thing of this IG is self-confidence, and their mentality will not collapse at any time!
Even though they are lagging behind now, they are still playing very aggressively!
They want to use Jace's early strength to gain something in the first level group, even if they only use some summoner skills.
But it's a pity that G2's defense was impeccable, IG didn't get any advantage, and the two sides entered the normal laning phase.
The director understood the needs of the audience very well and immediately focused the camera on the road.
This time, the early battle between the upper, middle and jungle will greatly affect the direction of the game.
Especially the top lane matchup. Whoever wins will get the initiative in the upper and jungle areas.
The junglers on both sides chose to start from the lower jungle area BUFF, which also sent a signal to the audience.
This matchup in the upper and jungle areas will be quite exciting.
Who is better in the early matchup between Jace and Olaf?
It’s hard to say.. It’s really hard to say.
There’s nothing wrong with Jace’s early lane dominance, but Olaf is really not a weak hero.
As long as he can hit the first ax and deal damage head-on, Jace really may not be able to win.
Of course, the premise is that the ax can hit the target.
Once the first Q is empty, Olaf will be very difficult to fight in the early lane, which is equivalent to handing over his lane rights in disguise.
"The handover of the soldiers has begun. What do you say about going on the road?"
"Wow! Isn't Olaf's position a bit too pretentious? Why does he dare to cross the minions and try to crush Jace just like Olaf? Is this reasonable?"
"This doesn't make sense! It's really unjustifiable for you not to point out Jace!"
"Huh? What's going on? You haven't thrown away your ax yet? Are you ready to stand up?"
The commentators were a little confused at this time, and it was a bit unreasonable for Olaf to reach this position and not be ready to take action.
As long as Jace fights Olaf at this time, the blue side's back row troops will start to focus on Olaf. Olaf will definitely lose blood in this exchange!
Even if he gets hit by the first axe, he will never be able to beat him in a duel!
In their eyes, Olaf was a bit over the top this time.
Of course theshy won't be polite to you. If he doesn't do this, he really won't have to play in the lane.
However, just as Jace was about to make his first flat attack, Olaf suddenly turned around and blocked Jace's flat A, causing Jace to block the first basic attack!
Although theshy was a little surprised, he quickly adjusted and turned around subconsciously.
Just when he turned back, Olaf turned back and threw the first ax, hitting Jace directly on the back! And knocked out a section of Jace's health!
"hiss!!!"
"I'll do it! This is pulling..."
"I finally understand why no matter what hero he chooses, no one else can beat him. These details are really mind-numbing!"
"Why is Gouba so meticulous when playing Olaf? How can I play this blood exchange?"
"It is the accumulation of these little details of his laning that has earned him the title of invincible top laner. This person is really exaggerated! How can he be so detailed!"
"Ha! If you don't take it seriously, do you think he can have so many girlfriends over there?"
What the audience saw were only superficial details. In the eyes of professional players, this wave of details gave them goosebumps!
They thought Olaf only pulled Jace, but in fact he even pulled minions!
"It's too ridiculous! Brothers! This wave is really too ridiculous!"
"It seems like Olaf didn't make much money from this wave of blood exchange, but in fact he made a bit of money!"
"I don't know if you have noticed, but when he released this Q, the hatred of the minions on the blue side was attracted away. This moment of hatred will allow Olaf to use limited rights. At this time, Jace and Olaf will be equally promoted. If there is a line, Olaf might push faster, and Olaf will get to second first!”
After Brother Leg explained it, the audience seemed to understand.
Only then did they realize what kind of monster IG was facing now, and they couldn't help but mourn for theshy for two seconds.
Of course, it's not unreasonable for theshy to rise rapidly this season.
He is strong in handling details and is much better than the average top laner!
He can quickly see the laning pattern and make the best judgment at the moment.
If you can't grab the line, then don't grab it forcefully!
At this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to give up grabbing the second troop line and wait for a wave of third-level junglers to gank.
Besides, this one is Jace, and he won’t be as passive as the tower knife in the last one, Thain. He still has room to operate.
But he still underestimated Zhuang Tian's laning suppression power.
The moment he sees Jace give up pushing the lane, Olaf will fight for his life with you.
After removing the hatred, he directly stepped forward and pressed down to pick up the axe. After deflecting Jace's long-range Q skill, he used his precise skill hit rate to throw another throwing ax from Jace.
This time, a judgment was made instantly!
"Wow! These two axes... really bring out the value."
"This is why he was the FMVP last season and others were not!"
"Guilty! I really didn't expect Master to feel so hot today! Wasn't he still hungover yesterday? Why is he so sober today? Did he drink fake wine?"
"I can't say it's fake wine, I can only say... our kimchi's eight plus one nourish people!"
"Next time I'll have two drinks before I go up to score to see the effect. I'm really jealous."
Kimchi’s commentary was supposed to be neutral today.
Logically speaking, they should hope that IG can win, after all, IG eliminated their number one seed.
If IG can win, their face can be saved.
But they really can’t brag about IG
The laning gap on the top lane is so obvious that it's clear at a glance.
They had to admit that theshy might be a good top laner, but under Zhuang Tian's suppression, his light was directly overshadowed.
But IG's top lane may not be good, but this time the midfielder stood out!
King Ning just took one look at the laning situation on the top lane and immediately made a judgment and hit it first!
Compared to Jace, who has no ability to retain people, the success rate of the Enchantress in the middle lane is higher than that in the top lane.
that's the truth.
When the precise chain from the Enchantress's minions hit Ryze, Ryze was already a corpse.
Broiler showed off his skills in this wave. His flash predicted Ryze's flash in advance. The chain was triggered directly, allowing Xin Zhao to hit the air. He successfully completed the harvest and got first blood!
This first blood seemed to have opened up IG's Rendu and Dumai, and the rhythm began to become uncontrollable.
Throughout the early stage, King Ning continued to gain momentum.
Control the dragon, gank, invade the counter jungle, he can do it all.
Coupled with the agility of the Enchantress in the middle, IG mastered the perfect rhythm in the early stages.
Not only did they win the first blood tower in the middle, but they also won the Rift Herald team battle.
When the economic lead was at its highest, it even reached 6K!
At this time, almost everyone believed that IG could securely win this game.
Especially when Dalong was also managed by IG without hesitation, LPL's live broadcast room barrages dared to become truly unrestrained.
"Well? Can we open the champagne now?"
"It may be a little early to open the champagne, after all, it's just a tie. But at this time, I can't say IG is too critical, right?"
"It's not too much! The BO5 is a BO3, and the advantage of this one is much greater than the previous one of G2. It can be blown."
"Um, is it possible that IG will be overturned?"
"Flip? Let me just say that. If IG can flip this one, I'll eat a Hu Jianren alive!"
"???"
It is understandable that the barrage can be so unbridled. After all, IG's advantage is a bit too obvious.
Leading in heads, leading in economy, leading in vision, and leading in defensive towers.
How to lose?
The key lineup is not bad, and the development is better than that of the opponent. What reason is there to lose?
Finally Zhuang Tian gave them the only reason to lose!
The game time came to 27 minutes, and IG launched an attack on G2's mid-high ground.
This wave of IG is a group of five people who are besieging the middle high ground of G2. With Enchantress and Jace, they are emboldened and unscrupulous.
But in the midst of the chaos, Pig Girl suddenly found a chance!
And Ryze behind him also drove a car inexplicably!
There is only one person in this car, and that is Olaf!
"Olav is backing up! Be careful!"
"It doesn't matter! We are growing well! The Enchantress has already charged forward! Whoever wants to stop us! It's Ryze! Ryze has activated the stopwatch! The Enchantress has retreated, no problem!"
"Fight the front row first, right! Defeat Olaf in the back first! Concentrate your fire first and beat Olaf!"
"Lao Niu Second Company! They were blocked by Olaf's Ragnarok!"
"IG's frontal explosion is very high! Ka'Sa moves away first, no problem! Ka'Sa is still outputting! Xin Zhao and Jace also stepped up! Will Olaf be unable to stand?"
"Oops! Luo has entered the field! Luo's ultimate move has hit too many people! Olaf is still slashing! He's not dead yet!"
"Don't worry about Olaf yet! G2 Double C is about to harvest!"
At this time, the LPL barrage has changed from the previous liveliness to as quiet as a chicken.
They couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.
It was obviously a wave in which IG had a huge lead, but under Olaf's solo charge, it became fragmented!
The most disappointing thing is that Olaf seems to have done nothing in this wave, no exaggerated multi-kills, and not even a single kill.
But he entered the scene immediately and survived until the end!
From the beginning of the team battle, Olaf used his ultimate move and kept swinging the ax with both hands. The ax was curled, and he was still not dead after the team battle!
A golden body at a critical moment allowed him to survive after attracting a large amount of output firepower.
He is like a god of war, breaking up IG's formation, using the opponent's key C-position skills to help his teammates complete the harvest.
It looks like he did nothing, but in fact he did everything
"Is this the value of FMVP?"
"You're not really going to be overturned, are you?"
"No. Olaf can't handle this!"
"To be honest, at this point in the fight, Jace's role is no longer as good as Olaf. If IG can't win the next wave of team battles, the chances of winning will become very low."
Maybe there are still fans who don't believe it at this time. IG is obviously still in the economic lead at this time, but this team didn't get any substantial resources after playing G2, so why can't they win?
It wasn't until Colonel KI came forward and gave a completely different graph that they really realized that something was wrong.
"IG must fight quickly. If it continues to drag on, their vision advantage will be gone. They may not be able to handle Olaf's single lead. Now Olaf. Chun Ge A should be there, next time It is more difficult to deal with him. Moreover, G2 Double C has also caught up with the equipment after this wave. IG’s front advantage is already very small, unless Jace plays a good shot.”
If it were the previous G2 Double C, maybe IG could really find a chance.
But this season, G2 may have never had a double-C matchup, but it is rare to see a teamfight give them the first chance.
Even if there is, it is still a tactical bait. AD should be the one who talks, and the top and mid laners will complete the harvest.
But as long as the top laner plays a warrior hero that attracts firepower, you will never see him in the early stages of a team battle if you use 2AD!
"IG can't bear it anymore! We're going to take action!"
"Olav is still carrying it! But Olaf has a T in his hand! What should I say?"
"IG took action first! IG didn't care! Niutou Second Company went directly! Who are they looking for? They are looking for Pig Girl!"
"Kill him in a second! Kill him in a second!"
"Charge the duck! IG!"
At this time, IG has no way out, they can only fight against the odds and fight against the odds.
However, the moment TP lit up behind them, a chill ran down everyone's spine.
