Chapter 411 The battle in the bottom lane.

The next day, all TES players arrived at the venue. Today was the first day of the win-lose group stage.

In the lounge, the TES players are waiting for the game to start.

Lu Yi was looking at his phone when someone sent a message in the group.

EDG, Hang: "Can we win? Wenbo?"

TES, Jackeylove: "We can definitely win. It's just G2, right?"

TES, GodYi: "Wenbo, G2's bottom lane is Hans Sama."

After Lu Yi sent the message, he looked up at A Shui.

Ah Shui's expression changed obviously.

This Hans Sama was actually compared with Ah Shui.

Because their styles are very similar, both are ADC, the same race, both are handsome, and both can play Draven.

In short, the two are so similar that they can hardly be compared with each other and one is used to put down the other.

EDG, FOFO: "This Hans Sama seems to be quite good. G2's bottom lane is quite strong this year."

EDG, Hang: "Hahaha, Wenbo, you're not going to fail, are you? You're going to get killed in the lane?"

TES, GodYi: "It's okay. Wenbo is gathering his strength now. You will see how powerful he is soon."

After a while, Zhan Ma called out, "Everyone, it's almost time, let's get ready to go up."

"This is our first appearance in this MSI. I hope everyone can show their best and show them the strength of the LPL's No. 1 seed. TES will win!"

On the other side, in the audience seats at the competition venue, the audience was already extremely excited before the game even started.

Suddenly, the director gave a close-up of a girl in the first row.

The audience immediately got excited: “Ohhhhhhhh!”

At the same time, in the LPL division commentary booth, Wawa explained: "Well, welcome to the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational. What is about to take place is the win-lose group stage of this MSI. The first BO5 will be between Top Esports from the LPL division and G2 from the LEC division."

"You can see that the girlfriend of G2's bot lane ADC player Hans Sama also came to the scene. The director even gave her a close-up. The audience was also very familiar with her. After all, they were playing at home."

Miller continued: "This BO5 is crucial. If we lose and are relegated to the loser group, it will not be easy to fight back. However, I am very confident in Top Esports. It should not be a problem to beat G2."

On the competition stage, the host came on stage, and after a brief opening speech, he invited the contestants from both sides to come on stage!

Lu Yi led the TES team out from the left, while G2 came out from the right.

The audience cheered wildly:

"G2! G2! G2!"

"Tao Bo! Tao Bo! Tao Bo!"

The director first gave Lu Yi a close-up, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.

Then, the director gave a close-up of Hans Sama and A Shui, with each of them occupying half of the screen, creating a feeling of confrontation between old enemies.

Then, both contestants stood face to face in the middle of the stage.

Lu Yi faced the mid laner, Caps, a small cap.

After the two sides shook hands, they turned and walked towards their respective seats.

Sitting on the chair, Lu Yi put on headphones.

All ten players from both sides were seated, everything was ready, and they entered the BP stage of the first game.

In this game, TES is on the red side and G2 is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
TES: Noxus, Garen, Olaf
G2: Quesanti, Alchemist, Kennen.

Wawa commented: "Both sides chose to target the top lane, and God King's three familiar heroes are gone. This is too targeted. I also want to see God King's Noxus."

Miller continued, "It's a bit too much, but there seems to be nothing we can do. The top laner Shan Ji is prone to being a scumbag, so we should still target him. At the same time, Shan Ji's unique skills are gone, and now they are hurting each other. Let's see who can't hold on first."

Entering the hero selection stage, G2 on the blue side got the fox on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "Based on the situation in the play-in matches, Ahri is the top mid laner in the current version. She is very strong, and it is okay for G2 to choose her this way."

TES got Monkey King and Sion on the first and second floors.

Wawa analyzed: "Xiaotian's Monkey King is trustworthy. This hero is also very strong in the current version. He is the best jungler. Sion is indeed a little unexpected. Has Shan Ji been practiced recently? Although this hero is a mixed player, he still needs some proficiency."

G2 got the Mantis and Gragas on the second and third floors.

Miller commented: "Is Mantis a jungler? He's so brave to pick him directly. Is Mantis planning to invade this game? I feel like Monkey King's jungle isn't that easy to invade."

TES locked Draven on the third floor.

The whole audience was in uproar:
"Here he comes! Ah Shui's Draven is here!"

"Take off, take off directly!"

"Hans Sama, huh? Die!"

"I heard that the opponent's bottom lane also plays Draven, perfect, let's have a try."

As fans of TES, everyone naturally hopes that A Shui can use Draven to fight against the opponent to see who is stronger.

Entering the second round of BP, TES banned Xayah and Lucian.

G2 banned: LeBlanc and Galio.

Wawa muttered, "What does this mean? G2 seems to be worried that Yishen will support in the middle lane, so they picked and BP like this. Although Yao's skills cannot provide long-distance support, he is a roaming support hero. It is difficult for him to kill the opponent alone before he gets the advantage."

The BP continued, and TES locked Thresh on the fourth floor.

G2 got Aphelios and Braum on the fourth and fifth floors.

Miller commented: "It seems that G2 is not going to go head-to-head with Top Esports' bottom lane. They chose a defensive support to protect the bottom lane. If it is normal, I feel that Aphelios has higher damage output, so for them, the bottom lane only needs to develop and does not need to play an advantage."

This leaves Lu Yi as the only mid laner without a choice.

In the end, TES locked Lissandra on the fifth floor.

Wawa's eyes lit up: "Hey! Lissandra is also a support roaming hero, and Yishen actually got her. I guess the opponent didn't expect there would be such a hand."

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

[Format: BO5]

【TES】VS【G2】（0:0）

Top order: [Dead War God] VS [Barrel]

Jungle: [Monkey King] VS [Void Reaver]

Mid: [Frost Witch] VS [Nine-tailed Fox]

ADC: [Glory Executioner] VS [Howl of the Crescent Moon]

Support: [Soullock Warden] VS [Heart of Freljord] Entering the game screen, Xiaotian began to lead the team: "Ashui, you can't have any problems in the bottom lane, you have to stay stable, we need you to deal damage in this game."

Ah Shui smiled: "When did you not need me to output? What you said is true."

Xiaotian continued, "Let's go, Shanji, keep steady and don't die."

Shanji was used to playing alone on the road, so he didn't say anything.

Soon, the first wave of soldiers came out and Lu Yi returned to the line.

At level one, the opponent's fox was very aggressive and took the initiative to come up and test.

Suba chose to keep a distance from Fox, but the soldier was low on health and it was time to finish him off.

Lu Yi approaches the soldier and uses the Q skill to finish off the enemy. Fox comes up and uses a basic attack followed by a basic attack with the W skill, triggering the electric shock.

The Fox clearly won in this confrontation.

Wawa explained: "This fox is quite good at pulling, using its hands
I feel like this mid-lane matchup will be tough. If we only look at laning ability, Lissandra is a bit weak."

The second wave of soldiers arrived at the line and entered the stage of grabbing level 2. Lu Yi maintained his rhythm of pushing the soldiers and used the soldiers to suppress Fox, making it difficult for him to consume his energy.

In the top lane, Sion had an easy time against Gragas. Both sides were clearing the minion line and ignored other things.

This Gragas was too lazy to fight back. Sion had a strong ability to withstand pressure. Even if he used up all the blue mana, he still couldn't kill Sion.

In the bottom lane, A Shui and Meiko reached level 2 first, pushed forward and did not give the opponent any experience.

Wawa explained: "Very domineering, enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. Before the game even started, the two were compared online. Now Ah Shui must want to prove himself."

The bottom lane cannot be controlled, after all, there are more minions on TES's side.

So Hans Sama doesn't need to be in a hurry, just wait patiently.

Of course, A Shui couldn't be anxious. He just controlled the military line, and the opponent would definitely suffer some losses.

The third wave of soldiers came, and since he could no longer control them, A Shui chose to push forward together, so as to create trouble for the opponent.

The troops entered the defensive tower, and Draven and Thresh looked for opportunities in front of the defensive tower.

While the opponent's Aphelios was last-hitting, Meiko's Thresh suddenly threw out a hook.

The movement of the opponent's Aphelios was predicted, and while Aphelios was pulled back, A Shui's Draven handed over one axe, two axes.

But it was useless. The opposing Braum jumped onto Aphelios' face and activated his shield to block him.

"Stand behind Bronn!"

Draven's axe missed Aphelios.

Wawa explained: "This Braum's level 2 Q skill has no health. It's a purely defensive play. He didn't even think about attacking."

Miller agreed: "That's true. It's the same problem. As long as Draven doesn't have a kill, their laning is successful. It's better for them to continue to develop anyway."

The game time is three and a half minutes.

In the top lane, Xiaotian's Monkey King went to the bottom lane. He was clearing from top to bottom. The purpose of coming to the bottom lane at this point was to GANK the opponent's bottom lane.

The next wave of soldiers comes and resets in the middle position.

Monkey King was already waiting in the grass by the river, waiting for the fight to start in the bottom lane.

"Do it!" Feeling that the opportunity was almost right, Xiaotian gave the order.

Meiko's Thresh walked forward, flashed and used the E skill to sweep the opposite Braum back, gave the lantern to Draven, Xiaotian's Monkey King approached from the side, Draven picked up the lantern and went up to output, and Braum used the W skill to return to Aphelios.

Thresh's hook shot out, hit, and pulled it back!

Wawa exclaimed: "It was a very nice hook, it pulled Braum back in mid-air, and Braum used his E skill to withstand the damage."

"Braum can only give up his flash. He still didn't kill the opponent this time. Now the support has to exchange flashes."

The director suddenly turned the camera to the top lane. In the top lane, the opponent's Mantis was GANKing. Gragas used his Q to slow down Sion and rushed forward with a belly full of energy.

Sion gave up his flash, but Gragas' flash was very fast, and Mantis pounced on him and got the kill!
[G2, Yike (Void Reaver) killed TES, Shanji (Dead War God)! ! ]

First blood burst out, G2 jungler Mantis got the first blood.

Wawa explained: "This hotel is very skilled, with a very beautiful flash. Now that the first blood is taken by the Mantis, it is not good news for Top Esports."

"It was said before that Monkey King is not weak in the jungle, and that Mantis can also be played in agile teams, provided that their development is the same. Now that Mantis has some kills, this premise no longer exists."

Miller agreed: "Yes, now Top Esports needs to be careful about the safety of its jungle."

Just then, the situation changed again!
The supports were exchanging lanes just now, but now, Lu Yi's Lissandra came over, and Xiaotian's Monkey King followed Lissandra around the triangle grass.

The opponent didn't know that he was in danger. After the soldiers entered the tower, Aphelios wanted to go up and make the last hit, but suddenly found that there were two more people behind him.

Wawa commented: "Here it comes! Lissandra roams at level 2 and catches G's bottom lane off guard. They probably didn't expect that Lissandra would gank the bottom lane at this time."

"Now it's awkward. Monkey King takes the initiative and uses his E skill to rush forward and damage the opposite Aphelios. Braum activates his shield, but Thresh's hook hits him and pulls him back."

Miller continued: "Draven keeps up with the output, Lissandra keeps up with Q and W, Draven one axe, two axes, three axes..."

"Aphelios gave up his flash, Draven flashed and followed up with two axes to get the kill!"

[TES, Jackeylove (Glory Executioner) killed G2, Hans Sama (Howl of the Crescent Moon)! ! ]

Wawa commented: "This tower dive was successful because of the cooperation between Thresh and Lissandra. Thresh was responsible for pulling away from the opposing Braum, while Lissandra controlled the two with her W, and Thresh used her E skill to sweep Braum away again. In this way, Braum was unable to protect Aphelios, and he was exposed to the Top E players."

Miller agreed: "Yes, this kill belongs to Draven, which makes it very comfortable for Top Esports' bottom lane."

"Sure enough, this game still depends on kills. When the opponent's jungler was causing trouble in the top lane, Top Esports' mid and jungle came down."

The game continued, A Shui returned to the city for supplies and made preparations, turning the economic advantage into equipment advantage, making it easier to fight in the laning phase.

Lu Yi's Lissandra returned to the city for supplies, made the Dark Seal, and then TPed back to the middle lane.

The game lasted six minutes, and Lu Yi's Lissandra reached level 6 with her ultimate.

The fox on the opposite side is also level 6 and is ready to make a move.

"You want to fight with me?" Lu Yi felt a little puzzled. Is Caps so confident?
Lu Yi deliberately used the W and Q skills to push the line of troops, so Fox decisively used his ultimate skill to take the initiative to attack.

Lu Yi chose to use the E skill under the defensive tower, and Fox suddenly used his ultimate to use the E skill close to him, but Lu Yi had already walked back, and Fox's E skill passed him by.

Immediately afterwards, Fox chased under the defensive tower, and Lu Yi chose to continue retreating. His E skill was about to disappear, and he didn't seem to plan to go under the defensive tower.

Just when Fox changed direction and wanted to chase towards the river, Lissandra suddenly disappeared and appeared under the defensive tower.

Wawa exclaimed: "What an extreme! Lissandra's E skill seems to have disappeared on the screen, but in fact it can come back. If it's a little later, this E skill will really disappear."

"Caps was also fooled around and wasted his ultimate. In fact, I suggest that he should not play this kind of tactics with Yishen. It is useless. How can it allow you to kill him alone?"

After this wave of fighting, Lu Yi reminded the jungler: "The opponent's mid laner doesn't have a big move."

Xiaotian understands!
