"Welcome back, the third game between the two sides is about to begin."
Today's commentators are the second brother and Rita.
The second brother said passionately: "After replacing OhYes, we saw a very good effect. EDG evened the score very easily."
"And judging from the direction of the last game, it was completely opened up on the top lane."
Rita is very self-aware as a vase and doesn't talk much most of the time.
After her partner finished speaking, she added appropriately: "Yes, the top laner has a huge impact on the game."
"I think if IG wants to win, they need to withstand the huge pressure brought by OhYes in the top lane."
"We just happened to get the news that in IG's third game, top laner TheShy will replace Duke."
"Speaking of the player TheShy, he also brought us many wonderful operations this year."
The second brother said excitedly: "I personally hope to see the two top laners compete. I also discussed it with Zeyuan and the others before the game. I believe this confrontation will be very exciting."
"..."
Before the game started, the two commentators spent almost 90% of the time talking about the top laners on both sides.
Of course, they know the audience loves to hear this too.
A few minutes later, the game officially entered the BP stage.
After losing in the previous round, EDG had the priority to choose sides in this round.
When Su Can came on the field, there was no surprise and he directly chose the red side.
It's obvious that the coaching staff also knows that getting on the road in this game is the key.
And since this year, EDG has played enough games on the red side. Even though the version has changed significantly, EDG's tactical choices have not changed much.
After playing so much, I have long been accustomed to BP on the red side.
Putting aside the counter position given to Su Can, other EDG players now also feel that it is more comfortable to play on the red side.
"I chose Jayce on the top lane. IG's tactics are very clear, and they have to play the Poke system."
In the second round, IG chose Jayce for the top lane. This was not surprising to anyone. They had basically guessed it.
Because in the second round of banning, IG deliberately dealt with Lucian's point.
The appearance rate of this hero is very low now, and you can occasionally see it once or twice in the bottom lane.
With EDG already selecting AD in the first three moves, it is obvious that Lucian is not targeting the bottom lane, but Su Can.
Su Can's Lucian has only appeared once in the professional arena, and Su Can hasn't even played it since then.
Even if the opponent targets Su Can in the fifth ban, they will not choose to deal with this hero.
Now that he was doing this out of nowhere, it was clear that he was going to choose Jace.
You will understand if you look at IG's double C selection. Zoe + EZ are two standard Poke heroes.
Normally, if you want to play the Poke system, double C is just two heroes for playing Poke.
Of course, if you want to play at an extreme level, you can also choose one on the top lane to form a three-Poke lineup.
The best choice for the top lane position is of course Jayce.
Jace is a hero who can suppress others online, and he happens to be Cheng Lu's favorite hero.
The intention when banning people is very obvious, even the commentators and the audience can see it. It is impossible for EDG not to understand.
There was also a discussion within the team, and the first reaction was to get rid of this Jace.
Otherwise, the three-Poke lineup will be really disgusting in the mid-term.
You can still dodge with one or two skills, and three heroes on the opposite side use long-range skills to hit you at the same time. It's really unstoppable, and you will always get hit.
However, under Su Can's strong request, he did not deal with this hero in the end, but chose to ban King Ning's pig girl.
IG has also made it clear to you my intentions. I can accept your ban. It just so happens that the jungle position can be supplemented by a pig girl, which is quite helpful to this lineup.
If you hadn't banned me, I wouldn't have hesitated and just got Jace directly.
If you don't choose, the preparations made before, such as banning Dao Mei and Lucian, etc., will be in vain.
Su Can had his own considerations in letting this hero go.
When playing against a player like TheShy, in addition to using head-on tactics to break through him, a better way is to swing people over to target him.
Everyone thought TheShy became easy to catch later, but that was not the case. He is still easy to catch now.
He is obsessed with suppressing and has a weak awareness of ganking. These are his long-standing problems.
In the S8 World Championship where he really showed his worth and brought many exaggerated performances, when the opposite jungler came to catch him, he would often die.
It's just that at that time, there weren't many ways to play IG on the top lane. Each lane had a carry ability, so even if you were caught, you wouldn't die all the time.
In addition, there is a jungler like King Ning who likes to protect himself, so it is not obvious.
A few years from now, I may still know that it is more prudent sometimes, but now I really don’t know, and I don’t even bother to buy real eyes.
At the same time, he doesn't understand the language, and he still has certain communication problems with his teammates.
As long as the jungler is willing to spend energy on the top lane, even if he fails to catch it once, you will be sure to catch it two more times.
Unlike some top laners, they are really stable and don't give you any chance.
I can get solo killed, but I rarely get caught!
Heroes like Jace were notoriously easy to catch, so Su Can felt there was nothing wrong with letting him play Jace.
Normally speaking, Jace is similar to Rambo. If he is caught two or three times in the early stage, he is basically useless and can be disconnected.
But Cheng Lu's ability to deal damage is still abnormal. Many times he plays heroes like Jayce, Rambo or Kennen.
You see, he was caught miserably and died many times. But when you look at the post-game data panel, his output is very high.
Think about it from another angle, if you didn't die so many times, would the damage be more explosive?
And if he died enough times, Su Can didn't believe how much damage this Jace could do in the mid-term.
Maybe you can slowly increase the damage, but the consumption of strengthening the cannon is definitely not that scary.
"EDG surprisingly did not choose to ban Jayce. They must have felt that Jayce could handle it."
"Then we'll wait and see what players EDG will use to beat Jayce."
"Both Sword Girl and Lucian have been banned, but judging from OhYes's hero pool, I believe this will not be a problem."
"Maybe the EDG coaching staff will give us a surprise."
"..."
The EDG coaching staff, who were given high hopes, actually didn't know what the top laner was going to do at this time.
Nofe does have the answer in his mind, but when choosing a top lane hero, he still has to listen to Su Can's opinion more.
Anyway, every time Su Can took out a hero, whether it was reasonable or not, he won.
As time passed, Nofe became too lazy to use his brain and let Su Can come up with his own ideas.
Nofe felt at first that Su Can was always like this, which made him seem to have no authority as a coach.
If it was just Su Can, it wouldn't matter. After all, you can have some privileges if you are strong.
However, during the game, everyone listens to the voice together. What if others want to imitate Su Can later?
Fortunately, after a while, this problem did not occur.
These few EDG players, coupled with strict management, did not appear to have a second rebellious one.
Moreover, Su Can often plays some swing or unpopular heroes and uses them to great effect. The outside world has always thought that Nofe has something.
After receiving too many comments like this, Nofe became a little confused and didn't care about authority.
Su Can already had the answer in his mind.
As before, he still fell in love with his teammates' heroes.
There are many heroes who can beat Jayce on the top lane, especially the two Counters who have been banned, and some other heroes can also beat him.
However, when meeting Cheng Lu for the first time, Su Can still planned to play coquettishly and leave a deep impression on him.
Among the heroes that EDG has selected, there is a wine barrel who plans to go jungle.
This hero is the jungler of choice most of the time, and is a frequent player in many versions of the game.
Going back further, wine barrels were in the middle in S3.
Ordering wine barrels has not become popular yet.
However, it is completely possible to hit Jace with a wine barrel.
The early laning will be suppressed. After all, Jace has long hands and still has some advantages.
The wine barrel carries a comet, and you can always use skills to consume blood.
At the same time, with his passive ability to regenerate blood, he is not afraid of being suppressed by Jace, and he can survive online.
If there is a big move at level six, Wine Barrel will be able to kill Jace alone.
If you can't kill him alone, the jungler will come over and cooperate well.
There is nothing wrong with choosing a hero yourself and playing what you feel comfortable with.
As soon as they heard that Su Can was going to play wine barrel, everyone had no idea. They just hurriedly went to see the jungle to see what kind of jungle they could make up.
Haro was in the jungle this time, and he directly pulled out a blind man with his last hand.
If he were the factory director, this blind man probably wouldn't be able to choose.
“Wine barrel order!”
Only a blind man was chosen, and the second brother keenly noticed that the wine barrel was going to be filled.
Compared to the wine barrel, the blind man now looks more abstract.
Rita: "As expected, you were right, EDG has come up with something new."
"I think Jess is fine up front, but you have to be careful after level 6, especially when EDG's top and jungle players are both level 6."
"The combination of the wine barrel and the blind man's combo will hurt Jace too much."
"..."
The game officially started, and the main focus was still on Su Can.
Ordering wine barrels is still a new thing.
Everyone wants to see what miraculous effects Su Can will have if he dares to take it out.
Jace went out with his long sword + reusable potions, and Su Can's Dolan Ring added two bottles of potions.
As soon as the minions came online, Cheng Lu's Jace pressed forward.
The second brother couldn't help but said: "Oh, TheShy is so fierce here, they directly crossed the line of soldiers to suppress them."
Many viewers were a little confused after seeing this scene. They had always watched Su Can suppress others like this.
Now seeing the role change, I feel a little uncomfortable.
However, everyone also understands that Jace is relatively aggressive in the first level laning, and there is nothing the wine barrel can do.
Su Can didn't hesitate to retreat far, keeping the distance within Jace's shooting range.
Cheng Lu's first-level choice surprised Su Can.
Normally, Jace's level 1 is Q, which can maximize damage.
Su Can was also constantly moving the mouse so that he could move and twist Jace's Q skill at any time.
As a result, he learned a W at level one.
After opening W, I quickly clicked on Su Can.
The damage is one thing, the main thing is that it triggers phase rush quickly, which has an acceleration effect.
When Su Can saw this, he didn't dare to pretend anymore, and quickly threw out the Q skill in his hand.
[Rolling Barrel] accurately stuck on the route that Jace was chasing.
Jace moved very fast, and Su Can could only quickly use the Q skill to explode.
The Q skill of the wine barrel does not have any storage time. If it explodes in seconds, the damage will not be high.
However, Su Can's talent is comet. After the Q skill hits, an arcane comet hits, and the damage suddenly looks pretty good.
[Rolling Barrel] also has the ability to slow down. Once Jace is slowed down like this, he will no longer be able to chase Su Can.
In the exchange of blood between the two sides in the first round, Su Can didn't seem to suffer a loss, and even made a little profit.
The damage from the hit may not be as painful as the few hits Jace fired, but Su Can's Q skill triggered the [Happy Hour] effect and directly restored a small mouthful of blood.
At the same time, Cheng Lu is consumed across the soldier line. This style of play will definitely be attacked by small soldiers.
Although he saw that the pursuit was hopeless and retreated into the grass to lose the hatred value, he still took some damage.
The damage of the minions in the early stage is still considerable, even if it takes a few hits, it can be seen with the naked eye.
After going back and forth like this, Jace's health volume seemed obviously lower than that of the wine barrel.
Su Can felt that the opponent had a good idea and his style of play was as good as before, but it was obvious that he had not been able to keep up with the single barrel and still lacked some experience.
The laning continued. Although Su Can made a profit in the first wave of blood exchanges, he was still suppressed.
Of course, when the opponent's strength is online, it is normal for the barrel to be suppressed by Jace.
Anyway, it can only be suppressed. It is impossible to suppress it as hard as you want.
The hero Wine Barrel is famous for his oil.
When facing a powerful hero, even if I can't beat you, I can still hold on. It's impossible to crush him to death directly.
Logically speaking, with Lugers pressing so hard, he can already be caught.
However, the one who came to the road first was the jungler from the opposite side.
Ning Wang plays Zac, and his ability to do things before level 6 is obviously better than that of the blind man.
A bounce hit him from a distance. Fortunately, Su Can's E skill was quite tight.
When he saw a mark under his foot, he quickly used his E skill to pull back.
After Zach landed, he didn't have to move to twist his rubber hand, the distance was completely insufficient.
The first wave did not achieve any effect on the gank on the top lane, but it could not produce any heroes against King Ning.
To put it bluntly, Prince Ning is here to put pressure on you. It's normal if you can't catch him. It would be nice if you can get some unexpected gains.
After reaching the third level of the top lane, Jace's suppression power is not that strong, mainly due to the issue of mana.
Jace still lacks blue in the early laning, especially when the long sword comes out.
Playing too aggressively in the early stage meant that a lot of skills were used, and the mana quickly bottomed out.
You can see that Cheng Lu will switch to more hammer forms in the next line. If the hammer form draws A, she can regain some mana.
Su Can doesn't fight aggressively here. Unless Jace wants to come up and hit him, he will use his E skill to interrupt him. Under normal circumstances, he will not take the initiative to go up with E.
When the comet is in good condition, look for opportunities to use the Q skill to consume it.
The rest of the time, focus on touching up the damage. When you are suppressed, be sure to touch up the damage.
At level 4, Haro also came over and wanted to catch a wave.
Su Can took the lead and rushed over with an E skill.
Cheng Lu reacted quickly. Su Can's belly just hit him and he activated his own flash.
After flashing, he realized that he had been fooled, because Su Can didn't cross E flash at all.
It's just an ordinary E skill, and it can be replaced with a flash that makes you obviously gain blood.
But whoever comes in this wave will have to flash. If he doesn't flash and is hit by E Flash, he will definitely die.
After the flash was handed in, Cheng Lu chose to go back and replenish her status because the mana level was indeed too low.
After Haro helped Su Can push the army line, Su Can also chose to return to the city.
Su Can spared a flash and chose to go online on foot.
This also caused his troops to be pushed over as soon as he came online.
Nothing seems wrong, Jace is still suppressing the line.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't feel right. You, Jace, just handed over Flash.
How dare you press it like this when the wine barrel is flashing?
At this point in time, when everyone watches IG’s games, they really don’t pay that much attention to the top lane.
Today is the matchup with Su Can, which brings everyone's attention to it.
A normal person would feel that this Jace seems to be a bit pretentious.
Su Can knew very well that this was his style, and he often played unreasonably.
Su Can took his time and continued to suppress the attack while making last hits.
And it can be seen that after Su Can went back, his fighting style was a little more fierce than before.
When I get the chance, E comes up to deal a set of damage.
Even after the fight, Jace wanted to chase him and fight, Su Can still insisted on exchanging blood with the opponent.
When the top laners on both sides were at level 7, Su Can knew that his opportunity had come when he saw Jace pushing the line of troops over again.
A wave of ordinary soldiers entered the tower, and Su Can forcibly used his skills to make up for the first few melee soldiers.
When the Q was able to turn around again, he threw a Q directly at the feet of the ranged soldier.
He pressed W and took a sip of old wine. He went up to finish the last shot, and then threw out a big move.
Cheng Lu didn't want Su Can to take advantage of these soldiers. Instead of retreating, seeing Su Can coming up, she also came over to consume Su Can.
"boom!"
Su Can quickly threw the [Explosive Wine Barrel] in his hand. When Jace didn't flash, Su Can just waved his hand.
He blasted Jace directly to the defense tower, landing squarely on the Q skill he had just released.
Quickly hit E and smash down the flat A with W effect before.
While dealing a huge amount of damage, he also took down three minions.
As soon as the minions disappeared, Jace quickly attracted damage from the defensive tower.
The location of Su Can's explosion was a bit inside, and Jace was slowed down by his Q skill. Pulling out the defense tower required at least two tower attacks.
Cheng Lu reacted quickly enough, switching forms to speed herself up, and at the same time knocking Su Can away with her E skill, preventing Su Can from continuing to output.
Su Can didn't even bother to look at it, he knew the damage would be enough.
"First Blood!"
Just like in countless previous games, Su Can easily obtained first blood with a single kill, as if he had done a very ordinary thing.
The audience was no longer calm, and the commentator also exclaimed.
Jace's health just now looked absolutely healthy, but he was alone and was gone in an instant?
