Chapter 244-We are the champions!
The top laner was killed alone.
For some reason, when the other four members of the South Korean team heard the news, they didn't feel any psychological fluctuations at all, and they even wanted to laugh.
It's not gloating, but a kind of helpless bitter smile.
The LCK region is home to many top laners, with several talented top laners emerging every year. In comparison, it has been difficult for the LPL to produce a top laner in the past few years. Occasionally, a top top laner will appear, but his glory will only last for a moment, and his state will not last long before he becomes sluggish.
But there happened to be a freak called Yuanshen. He alone became a mountain that all the talented top laners in LCK could not overcome.
It turns out Duke still can't handle him.
Forget it, forget it. It is assumed that the top laner will be at a disadvantage. As long as it doesn't collapse like in the last game, just raise a big daddy. This time there are no three fire dragons to support them, and the first one to be spawned is the water dragon.
One for one in a jungler trade, this wave is not a loss judging by the data.
But Faker frowned and found that things were not simple.
Fizz used his flash, which would be fine under normal circumstances. This hero is not vulnerable to flash. He kept his E skill in his hand, and 90% of the control could not hit Fizz, making him very slippery and difficult to kill.
But Malzahar is definitely not included among them.
Malzahar's restraint over Murloc lies in his passive shield, the Void's pushing ability and the unsolvable suppression of his ultimate.
This kind of directional and unavoidable control skill is what Fizz fears the most. Similar ones include the ultimates of the old versions of Werewolf and Scorpion.
Faker realized the danger and quickly said, "Wanghu, when the opponent reaches level 6, come to the middle lane to help me counter-camp."
“Okay, Sang Hyuk-hyuk.”
Just as he finished speaking, something happened in the bottom lane.
During the period of lack of vision, Taliyah and Graves resurrected and went out, without even killing a group of wild monsters, and rushed to the bottom lane in extremely tacit understanding.
Both junglers smelled an opportunity.
However, this wave of rhythm collapsed extremely quickly, and it was almost a one-sided situation.
It was the South Korean team that collapsed.
Jhin, Zyra, and Graves.
This is the trio of the Korean team. If these three heroes want to launch an attack, the two ADCs have no ability to hold anyone back, so Jyra must take the initiative. They rely heavily on the hit rate of Jyra's E skill, and this kind of control is too soft.
It depends a lot on prediction and luck.
How to distinguish and define soft assistance and hard assistance?
As the saying goes: If you have milk, use the organ Luna star with thin blood; if you don’t have milk, use the hard control and hammer Niu Rilongtan.
Jyra, Rakan, Jewel, and Toad are both soft and half hard.
And what about the wine barrels?
He is a macho hero who can adapt to both the top lane and jungle food chains.
Since no one had ever played Gragas as a support, the Korean team had no idea how powerful this hero would be when placed in the bottom lane, and they lacked experience in dealing with it.
In the current version of Gragas, the stun effect in the E skill has not been cancelled. It has two control effects, stun and knock-up, and is considered one of the most powerful skills in the League to retain players.
Seeing Graves coming, Ming pretended to retreat, and the moment he entered the grass, he turned around and used E to flash.
Target, Zyra!
The reason why Jyra is weak is that the basic attributes of this hero are very fragile, only slightly better than Leblanc.
Once caught, it is easy to die suddenly.
Gragas controls, Taliyah WEQs, and Lucian follows up with damage.
In less than a second, without even being able to use Flash, his health bar evaporated.
Jella was killed instantly.
Not only that, Ruler's Jhin was also forced to flash by Gragas' Q, otherwise he would have died.
Taliyah got the kill.
Blasted.
After the bottom lane pushed the line to the tower, they controlled the first little dragon.
Water dragon.
In the version when the elemental dragons first appeared, the water dragon was the overlord and its value was comparable to that of the fire dragon.
After taking the water dragon, the life recovery is terrifyingly high. As long as you are not killed in one wave, you will be a brave man again after a dozen seconds. It is equivalent to five heroes having Mundo's passive. Who can withstand it?
After being weakened in this version, the Water Dragon is no longer so buggy, but getting the Water Dragon bonus during the laning phase will make life very comfortable.
If you can gather three water dragons, it will be much easier to face the Poke lineup, which is equivalent to everyone having a weakened version of the Berserker's passive.
After taking the water dragon, the three lanes of the Korean team had no capital to exchange blood. They all began to play the game in a timid manner and took measures to avoid fighting.
The Chinese team played extremely ferociously, and everyone did not miss any opportunity to lower the opponent's health.
The audience was shocked to see the Korean team losing ground before even reaching level six in the early stages. They had never expected such a one-sided outcome.
The top laner is leading by 500 kills, the jungler is leading by one kill, the mid laner is leading in lane rights and flash, and the bottom lane not only has an advantage in kills, but also in skills.
Is it because of a change of personnel?
Some viewers couldn't help but ask questions.
"Yes and no."
A viewer with a higher gaming level explained: “Although Duke is not as stable as Smeb, he is not the only breakthrough point for the team. The reason why the Korean team is at a disadvantage in all three lanes is that the BP was calculated.”
"The more top teams compete, the more important the BP decision is in determining the outcome if the players' skills and tactics are similar."
It’s no joke that half of the winning is based on BP.
Jungle Taliyah, mid laner Malzahar, support Gragas... once these three players came out, they completely disrupted the Korean team's tactical operations and even caused them to make frequent mistakes.
The head coach of the South Korean national team received a call from the top of his country's e-sports association, and listened to the top's verbal abuse with a numb expression.
Seeing this situation, a lot of pessimistic and desperate words emerged on the local Korean Internet.
Under their gaze, the Chinese team launched the second wave of offensive like a storm.
Malzahar is now level 6.
Even though Faker had been warned, there are some ways of catching people that you can't avoid just by being vigilant.
First, he used the W skill on the spot, and then used the E skill to infect the low-health soldiers around Fizz. At the moment when the upgrade special effects emerged, Xiye's hand speed exploded to the limit. He learned the R skill in seconds and flashed to use R.
A grasp of the void leads to the underworld!
Ultimate move - Grasp of the Underworld!
The Void first killed the soldier infected by E, then the void energy climbed up the body of Fizz. The Void changed its target and split out a new compatriot.
At the same time, Mlxg appeared in the middle lane. Without any fancy moves, he just raised his hand and used the WEQ combo.
He got a kill and created the Taliyah with Demonic Codex early on, and this wave of damage even had some excess.
Fizz couldn't move and died without being able to use any skills.
After this premeditated capture was successful, MIxg joked with a smile: "I am inflated, what should I do if I want to make up for the killing ring?"
"I have no objection." Xiye said with a smile, "I also want to make a killing book, this one is for killing indiscriminately!"
"Stop blowing it off and get ready quickly. I'm almost 6." Ming interrupted them.
Forty seconds later, Taliyah rushed to the bottom lane.
In this wave of catching people, Xiang Guo did not go around the rear at all, but appeared directly on the front battlefield.
How to catch it?
Gragas used his E skill to close the distance and threw out an [Exploding Gragas].
boom!
Jhin, who was leaning against the wall, was blown to the point where he couldn't move. Taliyah started with WEQ, and Lucian followed up with damage.
Jhin was killed.
I don't know how many times the jungler and support have practiced this combo in the custom mode, and it works like a charm.
Ruler, who died suddenly, had a bitter look on his face, but it really wasn't his fault. He didn't have any flash and had no room to maneuver.
Unless he gets early warning and leaves the defense tower and doesn't take this wave of soldiers, he will lose anyway.
The opponent's offensive was too brutal and he was too unreasonable.
Ruler suddenly realized that this style of play was totally unlike Korean operations.
On the other side, after Yuan Shen got a solo kill in the top lane, it was difficult for him to find another opportunity to kill.
According to statistics, the solo kill rate in the top lane is the lowest among the three lanes.
Even Yuan Shen couldn't kill every time alone.
However, after gaining the advantage, he was very happy to suppress the opponent, and had already opened up a gap of nearly twenty knives. Unexpectedly, good news came from other roads one after another.
My teammates are so awesome?
He blinked his eyes, took a sip of hot water, and prepared himself to win without any effort.
With advantages in three lanes, the jungler takes off.
In less than ten minutes, the economic gap between the two sides reached as much as 2000, which was very exaggerated. When playing against some wildcard teams before, they had never had such a huge lead.
The BP completely calculated the opponent. A perfect start was one thing, but Yuan Shen could feel that his teammates were in surprisingly good shape in this game.
The ups and downs of the third game, the invincibility of the three fire dragons in the team battle, the split push by Fiora in desperate situations, and the comeback that changed the fate of the team, brought out the spirit and state of all the players on the Chinese team. Even Xiang Guo, who was watching the game as a substitute on the sidelines, had a brain orgasm purely through imagination and was extremely happy.
We were able to win in such a difficult situation with three fire dragons, and we also had a big advantage in BP. Why are you pretending to me?
Similar thoughts and mentalities linger in everyone's heart.
It is undeniable that the invincible momentum of the LCK region in S3 and S4 left a shadow on the whole world. There are still many players who believe that LCK is the world's number one region.
To put it in a more mysterious way, it is a mental demon. Many players subconsciously fear LCK players.
But after the transformation and turnaround in the last game, everyone is now so excited that they can’t be stopped. As a result, the operational ideas that they were required to follow during normal training have been somewhat forgotten.
This state does not mean that they have lost their minds and are playing blindly. On the contrary, the players of the Chinese team are in great shape and their minds are very clear. However, there is only one concept in their minds now.
-
attack!
An advantageous situation is the easiest to stimulate the players' state.
It is also the easiest to make people relax and careless.
In the last wave of arrests, Ming was the one who got the kill.
Many people think that it is useless for a support to gain an advantage, but in fact, in the early stages, a support can sometimes get more kills than an ADC.
Because, the eye stone can be made one step earlier.
After returning home and taking out the Eyestone, Gragas began to control the vision. Ming, whose mind was full of attack, placed all his wards in the opponent's lower jungle area and did not set up any defensive wards for his own team.
If Graves goes around the back, the bottom lane will be very dangerous.
But Peaunt didn't use the perspective cheat, so she had no idea that the opponent's eyes would act so extreme.
The moment they saw Graves leaving the bottom lane, the Chinese team launched a four-on-two attack.
After pushing the line, Malzahar began to move downwards, and Faker quickly marked him.
However, a stone wall completely blocked the Korean duo's retreat.
The flying Rock Bird began to cut off the military line, and by the way... laughed three times towards the sky.
"You've gone too far, and I've tolerated you for so long!"
Ruler wanted to curse because his flash was still not ready and he could only stay AFK under the tower.
Graves, who had just gone to the upper zone, couldn't provide support, and it was meaningless for Fizz to come. The Korean team's mid and jungle quickly abandoned the bottom lane, preparing to let Fizz take the opportunity to wear down the tower's health while letting Graves go solo on the Rift Herald.
The bottom lane is doomed to fail.
When being killed by a single player in a random game, most players will feel upset for a while, then cheer up again.
It's just a game, if you die, you die.
This is obviously the truth, but every player will feel uncomfortable and desperate when waiting to die.
It was still that skillful combo. The ultimate skill blasted the wall and made it stiff. Taliyah started with WEQ and killed Ruler instantly.
Facing four rough guys, it’s meaningless for Jella to have flash and ultimate. She might as well use ultimate to clear the line and wait for death. Saving flash might be useful in the next wave.
Xiye came down and got two assists, but even his ultimate move was not used.
Faker originally wanted to take advantage of Malzahar's absence to reduce the health of the enemy's middle tower, but he didn't expect an eagle to fly out directly from the opposite jungle and take away all the soldiers.
How can a fish beat an eagle?
The basic laws of the food chain still need to be explained.
Of course, the main reason was that Fizz didn’t do enough damage and his development was too poor. After dying in the last wave, Faker found that he was still 100 gold away from making the Radiance.
Before he became brilliant, Fizz was just a stinky little brother.
Faker immediately retreated and went to the jungle to help Peanut fight the Rift Herald, and Duke was also called over.
Seeing the opponent's actions, the Chinese team naturally guessed that they were trying to farm the Rift Herald.
In the upper half, the only one who can rush to the Rift Herald is Quinn. Even if Grasshopper sends TP over, there are only two people.
According to the Korean operation thinking, even if the top and middle positions are advantageous, two against three is still very unstable. In this wave of resource exchange, just give up the Rift Herald. Even if the Korean team takes the Rift Herald, they still make a profit. The Chinese team gets two kills and can also destroy a tower.
But these animals were obviously having a great time.
Xiyezhen TPed to the ward above the middle lane, and was very eager to fight.
Even the other three people were shouting, “We can fight!” We can fight this time!
Yuan Shen took a look and decided to accompany him.
It is possible, but the risk is high.
The damage of the Rift Herald in the early stage is higher than that of the little dragon. The hatred mechanism of the Rift Herald in this version cannot be pulled too far, so it has to be hit hard.
This also means one thing.
That means the male gunner’s health will be very low.
The two heroes, Grasshopper and Quinn, can kill the male gun in seconds without using even half of their skills.
Not only that, but Gnar's rage was particularly awkward, and he was in the sage moment of growing larger and then shrinking again.
It has no anger at all and poses very low threat. Even the softest girl wouldn't be afraid of a small monster that can't even be made of stone.
Behind enemy lines!!
The eagle Valor took Quinn to the sky, flew all the way above the dragon pit, activated W to scout out the field of vision, and after making sure it was safe, he threw a trinket eye down. At this point in time, the opponent did not have a scan, and Peaunt did not have the habit of carrying a true eye with him at all times.
With the vision of the dragon pit, Malzahar relied on his shield to attack from the front.
Xiye's movement was particularly stylish. He turned around to dodge Gnar's Q and approached Graves, putting tremendous pressure on Peaunt.
Subconsciously, Peaunt began to move towards the wall.
Peaunt knew that Quinn was on top of the dragon pit wall, but he had a natural counter to ADC and a W that could blind. He felt that he had room to show off, but he also felt that the opponent would be cautious.
However, Yuan Shen didn't hesitate for even a second and went straight ahead.
He was actually above the dragon pit, controlling the distance in great detail, making sure that only Graves was within the passive range, and allowing the vulnerable status mark to be placed on him.
He launched a basic attack through the wall, and before the basic attack's trajectory landed, he manually canceled the flying state, triggering the damage of Eagle Wings.
Then, use the Q skill, followed by a normal attack.
ARQA.
Seamless combo with extremely fast hand speed.
The male gunner's health dropped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, only a trace was left.
When he completed this combo, Peaunt had time to throw a smoke bomb at him through the wall, and then retreated using the E skill.
But almost at the moment when the opponent used W, a golden light flashed, and Quinn flashed directly into the dragon pit!
Follow up with another normal attack to kill the male gunner.
"????"
"crazy?"
No matter how fat Quinn is, he is just an ADC hero.
ADC's strength lies in its ability to fight continuously, and even the ADC on the top lane is no exception. Which ADC would use flash to exchange life with others?
At the first moment, the South Korean team thought Yuan Shen was crazy.
The moment Gnar and Fizz turned around and prepared to focus on him, Quinn used his E skill to spin and kill, targeting the Rift Herald who was pulled near the wall by Graves.
Quinn came in like an acrobat, attacked once, and then did a backflip and jumped out of the dragon pit.
The result is...
Fishman’s ultimate move was shown off.
"Oops!!"
Faker and Duke's faces changed at the same time, and they both marked the danger signal, signaling their teammates to retreat.
The disadvantaged Fizz has no ultimate, the disadvantaged Gnar cannot grow bigger, Malzahar blocks the way, and Quinn can immediately support the battlefield by activating R.
This two-on-three battle actually ended in a loss? ?
It's too late, but it's soon.
ARQA Flash AE-
No matter which hero Yuanshen plays, he always gives a feeling of flowing smoothly without the slightest pause or stiffness, as if he is one with the hero.
Quinn's flexibility as a Demacia Ranger was fully utilized at this moment. He confidently flashed into the dragon pit to collect the kill, used his skill to backflip and return, and turned [Spin and Kill] into a displacement skill by him, avoiding Murloc's ultimate and Gnar's EQ.
Xiye's Malzahar rushed to the dragon pit and started with the EWQR skills, pouring all the damage on Gnar.
Fizz, who has no hard control over any of the three skills of QWE, cannot interrupt Malzahar's ultimate, and unless he comes up and attacks Malzahar, at least one of the three skills will be immune to the shield provided by Malzahar's passive.
The fishman comes up A?
The day lilies are cold!
Faker chooses Q to dash in and break the shield, then...
Use the E skill to run away directly.
Excuse me, goodbye!
The little fish man left without looking back.
This scene looks funny, but in fact, it is the most correct choice. Quinn, who had escaped from the dragon pit, had already turned into an eagle and was rushing down from the dragon pit. With the bonus of high movement speed, he could support the grasshopper in three seconds.
The suppression time of Malzahar's ultimate skill is exactly 2.5 seconds.
Just as Gary was fully benefited from a set of skills + control and regained his freedom, he was killed by Quinn's AQAE, leaving him with no room for maneuver.
Without an ultimate and a skill, Fizz would have no chance of killing the Grasshopper even with an ignite. If he stayed where he was, he would just be giving away one more head.
The head was taken by Quinn again.
"Nice!! You're a monster."
Xiye exclaimed sincerely that the three enemies were in very bad condition. They all thought they could win this wave, but the best scenario was to barely get a two-for-two trade with the opponent.
They exchanged heads and risked their lives to stop the other side from attacking the canyon.
Exchanging kills in a game with an advantageous position is actually a loss.
But Yuan Shen managed to bring it back!
Not only did they get a zero-for-two trade, they were also able to perfectly take over the Rift Herald.
Even Xiye, who has always been arrogant, now has to admit that Yuan Shen is a freak in operation. He often does some incredible operations in certain situations, which even professional players have never thought of.
Yes, Quinn's E can be used to climb over walls if the angle is right. Players at a high level in the game know this.
But who dares to do this? How many people can seize this fleeting opportunity in such a short time?
After this team fight, the Korean team's top, mid and jungle completely collapsed.
Not only that, the bottom lane tower was also destroyed.
With a huge advantage across the board, the duo switched to the top lane, while Quinn with the Rift Herald buff went to the bottom lane to solo, and in just ten minutes, the economic gap was almost four thousand.
This one-sided game was like a bullying of the Korean team. Many LPL fans never dreamed of this. The first three games were very intense and back-and-forth, but how come this one was so fierce as if they were on drugs?
Some people say that it might be because of the change of jungler?
That's not right. Not only is the jungler in great shape, but all the players' little universes have exploded. If MLXG is a goddess or a spicy mushroom, she can also be said to be the Saint Seiya guarding Athena.
Only a few people, especially coaches and data analysts of professional teams, vaguely felt the reason.
BP advantage, good player condition, these seem to be secondary. From a bird's eye perspective, they can clearly see the Chinese team's eye positions, signals, and extremely aggressiveness, just like now...
Shit! The high ground hasn’t even been taken, who marked the opposite crystal main fort?
Moreover, this is not a mindless offensive fight, but an aggressive attack with clear rules and methods that incorporates operational concepts.
If I have to describe it, it's like a genius who is suitable for kendo. Because he was beaten several times in a row by the world's number one master with a hammer, he then learned how to use the hammer from this master.
The hammer technique is very profound. This genius seemed to be talking about something. He learned a lot and realized a lot, but the way of the sword was still what really suited him.
Learning to walk by imitating others, copying others' ideas, using a mace to clear a small water pipe... are always inappropriate.
In the original history, S5 and S6 were the darkest years for LPL, and also the two years when Korean-style operation and Korean aid craze were the most popular. The whole world was learning this strongest style of play, and among them, LPL was the region with the most Korean aid and the deepest assimilation.
It is undeniable that Korean-style operations have indeed made the LPL teams' playing style more rigorous and scientific, but they have also lost a lot of the spirituality they should have.
What has made fans most angry about the competitions in the past two years is that the LPL teams’ player configuration and hard power are obviously very strong, but all their strength is hitting the air.
The players' playing styles are deeply rooted. How much strength can you expect to bring out by adopting a system that is completely unsuitable?
Historically, it was not until S7 that some LPL teams rediscovered their previous playing style and, combined with operational ideas, initially developed a set of LPL-style playing styles.
By S8, this style of play had finally matured, and teams across the region were learning it.
Many old viewers can notice that the playing styles in S7 and S8 are completely different from the past.
The most obvious thing is that in S8, the LCK region was still playing a bladder game of operation, and there were no more than ten kills after minutes. In the LPL region, the kills were racing against time...
During S8, many people saw this significant difference and thought that the LCK was a fight between gods, while the LPL was a fight between noobs. In their opinion, only teams with a high error rate would have so many kills.
As a result, that year turned out to be the most glorious year for LPL.
At this moment, many LPL professional players and data analysts, seeing the Chinese team's aggressive and swift style of play, have a vague idea of the prototype of a system in their minds, but how to improve it specifically still requires slow thinking and experimentation.
In fact, the playing styles of the Chinese team members on the field were nothing more than the players getting excited and using the style that best suits the team, which immediately confused the opponents, but they did not form a mature system.
In this round, the Chinese team's offensive power was indeed terrifyingly high, but their error rate also increased significantly.
Apart from anything else, Ming is only doing offensive wards, so what does he have to do for defense?
After being beaten for a full ten minutes, the South Korean team gradually adapted to the opponent's style and quickly adjusted their tactics.
Unfortunately, due to the huge economic gap, sometimes even if they noticed the Chinese team's mistakes, they did not have the capital to attack.
The only measure the South Korean team can take is to use their skilled operation system to avoid fighting, delay development, and wait for the opponent to make serious mistakes.
Although they decided to avoid fighting and give up resources, the Korean team was not just giving away the resources for free. Every time the Chinese team took down a tower or a resource point, they had to pay the highest price. This price could be time, summoner skills, or soldiers...
During the period of ten to twenty minutes, the situation was stabilized by the opponent.
Not only that, the Chinese team kept trying to launch attacks, which gave the opponent several opportunities and resulted in several kills.
At 20 minutes, the economic gap between the two sides stabilized at around .
At the 20-minute point, the economic difference of five or six thousand is a very subtle number.
With this economic gap, the opponent will definitely not be able to beat you in a team fight. But if you fight over the tower, the risk is very high and you may give away all the advantages.
Moreover, if the opponent chooses a hero with very strong wave-clearing ability, the attack will be more difficult.
For example, the famous cancerous bomber, Xerath, Tsar, and Sivir, whose ability to delay development is disgusting, have always been the favorite heroes of Korean operations and can protect the mid-to-late game.
Although the Korean team did not pick the cancer in this game, the ability of Jhin + Jhin to clear lanes and defend towers also caused considerable offensive resistance to the Chinese team.
At this time, it is the turn of Baron Nashor and the Elemental Dragon to appear.
The existence of the big dragon and the small dragon becomes the key to winning the game.
Riot designers created these neutral resource points so that there would be a way to change the situation during the stalemate stage of the game.
The one with the advantage takes the dragon and moves forward, while the one at a disadvantage grabs the dragon and reverses the situation.
The three dragons in the early stage are the water dragon, the earth dragon and the fire dragon. Their attributes are very mixed and the bonuses are neither good nor bad.
Naturally, they were all controlled by the Chinese team which was in an advantageous position.
As soon as the big dragon spawned, the five members of the Chinese team gathered together and attacked the dragon directly.
The Chinese team's lineup - Quinn, Taliyah, Malzahar, Lucian, and Gragas. Although there is no front row, the damage is very high, and there is a little grasshopper to resist damage, and the speed of killing dragons is incredible.
The Korean team reacted quickly, only less than ten seconds late. Even so, when they arrived at the dragon pit, the dragon only had about 40% of its health left and was about to be killed.
Peaunt must grab this dragon and cannot give it up.
If you grab it, there is still a chance to continue dragging the game. If you can't grab it, then it's basically GG.
The possibility of stealing the dragon changes rapidly. The punishment damage and timing, skills, normal attacks, the player's mentality and reaction...all kinds of subtle factors may cause the loss of the dragon.
Therefore, grabbing the dragon is the most likely occasion for miracles to happen, regardless of advantages or disadvantages.
Peaunt wanted to gamble. He was young and full of energy, and he was confident that his reaction ability was faster than the opponent's jungler. He hoped that a miracle would favor him.
However, the Chinese team did not want to gamble.
The dragon ruins life...
There are many examples of all the early advantages being lost in a single fight over the dragon.
The actual target of this Rush is the Baron!
It’s a group!
When the enemy approached the attack range, all the members of the Chinese team stopped suddenly. Leaving the big dragon that was about to be killed, they decisively withdrew and turned around to start a team fight.
The first to take action was Ming.
Gragas uses his E skill to advance and adjust his position, then suddenly throws his ultimate skill towards the enemy formation.
Jyra was blown back... The others could effectively avoid Gragas' ultimate by either moving or using displacement skills, but Jyra was the only one in an awkward situation because she had to walk in front to assist with vision.
Jyra was blown back and couldn't even use her skills, so she was directly immobilized by Malzahar's [Grasp of the Underworld], and Lucian followed up with damage.
Before the Korean team made the decision to sell their support, Taliyah activated his ultimate skill, Wall Curtain, and rode the stone wall he created all the way to the back of the Korean team's formation.
"Tia Que is going around alone?" Wawa asked in surprise.
"No!! It's two people!"
Miller stared at the screen, watching Quinn spread his wings and fly high, rushing into the battlefield from the side like a sword.
Quinn was very lucky in this game. In just twenty minutes, he made equipment of Infinity Edge + Electric Knife + Three-speed Boots.
With such equipment, Quinn's output is explosive, but his body is as fragile as a thin dog.
The error tolerance is extremely low.
There is only one word to describe Yuan Shen's courage to do this.
Yi Gao people are bold.
The Rock Bird behind them kept throwing stones to block the Korean team's way.
Faker, Fizz, immediately targeted the arrogant little Taliyah, and with an unexpected R flash, he accurately threw the shark at Taliyah's feet.
"I see!"
Xiang Guo exclaimed, not reacting at all.
This time he was prepared to sacrifice his own life to save the lives of others and was not afraid of sacrifice at all.
But everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather!!
It is crucial to know how much damage you can deal before death, how much time you can delay, and how much effect you can play.
If you are killed instantly by Fizz, it would be a waste.
The great devil Faker's extremely decisive R flash made his flank become a joke.
Flash to create distance?
It's useless. He flashed and was knocked away by the shark. Jhin followed up with W, and then the murloc followed up with damage and he was dead.
At this moment, Xiang Guo heard the voice of a man named Yuan Shen.
"Kill the Chi Emperor! Kill the Chi Emperor!"
Xiang Guo understood what he meant and controlled Taliyah to flash, instead of retreating, he advanced and flashed to WEQ.
Ruler was concentrating, how could he be lifted up by the rock protrusion so easily?
Jhin backhandedly shot Taliyah, then confidently moved to twist away Taliyah's rock spike, leaving Taliyah to be dealt with by his teammates.
But his health bar was reduced by 30% by Taliyah's Q and E.
This is the result that Yuan Shen wants to see.
The more skilled the operator, the fewer variables there are, because all one has to do is predict the perfect operation.
Ruler did have flash in this wave, but flash is so important to an ADC without displacement. How could he use flash directly when he had space to dodge skills?
This resulted in that when Quinn cut into the battlefield from the side, Ruler Emperor's Jhin was still strolling around on the stone formation.
Without any fancy moves, Quinn advanced forward.
Start with QA, the R skill will be automatically released, triggering the arrow rain damage of [Eagle Wings Soaring] and the magic effect damage of the electric knife.
The horrific explosion caused Jhin to lose 50% of his health, leaving only about 20%.
Yuan Shen’s hand speed is extremely fast, and he seamlessly uses the E skill to spin and kill.
At this time, Ruler's fingers were already on healing and flash. His thinking was extremely clear. According to his estimate of Quinn's damage, after the healing, the damage of Quinn's E skill would not be enough to kill him, so he had to follow up with a basic attack.
As long as you flash away after being hit by the E skill, you will not die.
On the contrary, the temptation of the Blood Ashes is likely to make Quinn go too far.
If Yuanshen and Flash get the kill, Quinn, who has no life-saving skills, will be killed instantly by his teammates. He will not lose anything, and may even make a small profit.
After all, Quinn is a big head with a bounty on it.
But all of Ruler's fantasies were soon shattered.
After Quinn used his E skill, even though Jhin had received treatment, he still... died suddenly?
"Impossible!! Quinn's E skill's damage is not that high!!"
Ruler couldn't accept this result for a moment, but when he saw the kill box appearing on the right side of the screen, he immediately understood...
It was not Quinn who killed Jhin, but the dead Taliyah.
Taliyah's [Stone Array], in addition to the slowing damage in the first stage and the trap explosion damage after 4 seconds, has another crucial effect.
Enemy heroes that pass through the stone formation due to dashing, being pulled, or being pushed will trigger the trap.
This is also the reason why the burst of Taliyah WE combo is so high.
This [Stone Scattering Formation] can be activated not only by Taliyah himself, but also by teammates and even enemies.
For example, Yuan Shen once used Taliyah to cast an E skill in a random game, and then watched helplessly as the full-health Monkey King, who was only for output, used a Phantom Flame to crash into him and directly killed him. The scene was extremely magical and funny, and the whole place was full of question marks.
And Quinn's [Spin and Kill] has a knockback effect.
The E skill knocks back Jhin and triggers the trap, the damage is just right.
Ruler was killed instantly again, but Quinn’s crisis was not over.
After killing Taliyah, Graves, Gnar, and Fizz turned their target to him.
The three players of the South Korean team were very anxious. They had to kill Quinn instantly before the enemy support arrived.
Fizz's skills are temporarily on cooldown, and the main forces are Gnar and Graves.
There is a lot of room for show.
Gnar and Graves have too short attack ranges, and Yuan Shen's Quinn keeps moving and attacking. The movement speed bonus granted by the three-speed shoes is maximized at this moment.
Gnar and Graves only hit Quinn twice at the beginning, and then they were always kite-ed.
Another critical hit of faith appeared, and the blood of the male gunner, who was the main output of Quinn, suddenly entered a dangerous state.
Peaunt used his ultimate skill to bombard Quinn while trying to create some distance.
But this ultimate move was avoided by Quinn by turning his body at a right angle. Then, Quinn flashed and used the Q skill, and the male gun was killed.
But Quinn was also in a desperate situation because of this. Gnar's anger turned red. Fizz held up his spear and slammed it on the ground. His trident stabbed Quinn. Quinn's blood volume was getting lower and lower, and Gnar's anger was getting redder and redder.
Yuan Shen turned around to attack the close-to-hit Fizz, and while Duke's Gnar was fully enraged, he wanted to use an ER directly.
But at this moment, Quinn used [Spin and Kill] to interrupt Gnar's E skill, causing Duke's Palm of Tathagata to hit the air, and he used a backflip to distance himself from Fizz.
But Quinn still seems unable to escape his life.
Because Fizz's [Naughty Strike] is already ready.
The Q skill is used directly, and the moment Faker is ready to take the kill...
A golden light flashed.
Gragas used E flash and accurately completed an interception in mid-air, interrupting Fizz's Q skill.
Lucian's long-range baptism of the Holy Lance, Malzahar summons the Void Spirit...
"It's over!!"
"It's all over for Xiba."
Several members of the South Korean team had cold hands and feet, and their brains were in a daze.
Triple Kill! !
Quinn scored a double kill and survived.
The Huaxia team fought a perfect 1 for 5 team fight, turned around, and three people went to attack the big dragon, while Quinn alone destroyed the middle lane.
ADC heroes have an extremely fast speed in destroying towers. After Quinn successively destroyed the second tower in the middle and the middle highland tower, the sound effect of Baron Nash's death sounded.
Victory is certain.
One for five plus a big dragon, the economic gap widened to ten thousand.
With a strong lineup in the early and mid-game, such a big advantage and the Baron buff, given the level of the five players of the Chinese team, if they can still lose the game, there is only one possibility: a meteorite hits and destroys them all.
Unfortunately, the Grand Mage is one of our own.
Gaining an absolute advantage...
In other words, with an absolute advantage in victory, the Chinese team changed their previous aggressiveness and recklessness and began to steadily break through the three high grounds.
Three barracks were destroyed, three super soldiers + big dragon Buff advanced, it was like thousands of troops besieging a city, this kind of scene must have been experienced by many players.
The once weak soldiers turned into an extremely terrifying cavalry army in the blink of an eye. With five fierce and ferocious enemy heroes standing next to them, the strong sense of powerlessness and despair made it difficult for the five players of the Korean team to breathe.
Until the moment the base was destroyed, every Korean player looked dazed.
boom!!
The moment the explosion special effects came on, Yuan Shen, like his teammates, excitedly took off his noise-cancelling headphones and enjoyed the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the entire venue that reached the sky.
The Brazilian people were extremely enthusiastic, and the Chinese audience who came from afar were cheering at the top of their lungs.
Three to one!!
champion! !
These four games were both thrilling and exciting.
The courage, decision-making, operations and tactics displayed by both sides allowed the world to witness the charm of the game LOL.
The thrilling and evenly matched competition gave countless viewers goose bumps and made their blood boil in just four hours.
The only flaw is that the last game was too overwhelming.
Many viewers outside the LPL and LCK regions think that it would be enough to play all five games. They enjoy the process more than winning or losing.
Mingkai, other players and coaching staff also ran up from the backstage and hugged their teammates with smiles.
Next, there was the usual handshake.
Originally, the handshake session could only be performed by the five contestants in the deciding round, but since it was an exhibition match after all, many of the rules were not mature, so everyone just went along with it.
Walking to the Korean team's player seat, Yuan Shen clearly saw that some of them were packing up their peripherals in a daze, some were simply lying on their chairs in a daze, and their most familiar Ruler was crying in front of the screen with his face covered.
Well, another one was beaten to tears.
Although, the ADC status in this version is very low,
Being killed by the enemy and surviving by chance is the fate of ADC in 2016.
Moreover, Yuan Shen seized good opportunities several times, and no one expected him to do that, and the protection provided by his teammates was not timely.
There are many reasons to explain his sudden death, which is understandable.
But Ruler still blamed himself. He hated himself for not being stronger, for not being able to imagine more situations...
Korean fans are feeling even more depressed.
The LCK region's dominance in S3 and S4 seems to be about to be equalized.
Counting from the EDG team last spring, LPL has occupied the world's number one spot for a year and a half.
If they lose this World Championship and the LPL team wins again, in terms of honors, LPL and LCK will both have two S championships, and will have two more MSIs than them and an Olympic gold medal, which has extremely extraordinary symbolic significance.
Honor is already the last fig leaf of the LCK region.
If they lose this year's S game again, the LCK region's pride and complacency in e-sports will be completely gone.
The Chinese team also did a good job of handshake etiquette. Although they won, their opponents were also very strong and deserved respect.
A total of twelve people, including ten players from the team, coach Abu and analyst Feng Ge, stepped onto the podium.
In the past, the highest standard of award ceremonies was for Riot’s CEO to present the award personally after winning the S-League championship, but on the Olympic stage, the award presenter became the chief representative of the Olympic Committee.
The Olympic Committee has now had its ninth chief.
The principal of this session is Thomas Bach.
He is a strong white man. He is now seventy-three years old, but he still walks more steadily and powerfully than many young people. He is still in good health.
Bach led the fair-skinned and beautiful cheerleaders to the podium. After shaking hands with everyone, he personally put the gold medal on the contestant and said a few words of blessing with a smile on his face.
Afterwards, the cheerleaders handed the medals wrapped in flowers to the contestants.
Wearing a gold medal, holding a bouquet of flowers, bathed in the shouts and cheers of tens of thousands of people, I felt as if I was at the center of the world, and all my past efforts came to my mind.
This is winning the championship.
The bigger the stage, the greater the joy and honor one will enjoy.
The contestants who have never experienced this feeling are pursuing it with their dreams.
Players who have experienced this feeling will be reluctant to let it go and will want to do it again.
Uzi's chubby face turned red and his eyes sparkled with tears, but he tried his best to control his emotions.
Xiye smiled foolishly, and Xiangguo took a deep breath, being very attached to this feeling, it was so great.
Compared to them, the three IG players and Mingkai who all have championship experience seem to be better, but their faces are still full of smiles.
Finally, there is the flag-raising ceremony for the awards ceremony.
The twelve people on the stage all leaned to the side, facing the five-star red flag that they had seen since childhood. They wore gold medals, held bouquets in their left hands, and saluted with their right hands.
∠(°ゝ°)
Listening to the national anthem and watching the national flag fluttering and rising, Yuan Shen was filled with emotion.
The symbolic significance of an Olympic gold medal cannot be matched by a world championship title.
This is fighting for the country and winning glory for the country while wearing the national flag!
In modern society, many foreign cultures are loved by young people. However, when the home countries of these cultures have conflicts and contradictions with their own motherland, most people will stand on the side of their own motherland, but there will always be a small number of people who are particularly weak-willed.
The NBA kneeling blue boy incident that caused a sensation a few years later is a typical example.
There is a sentence that Yuan Shen remembers very clearly: I like watching NBA, but I know what is the fundamental thing that allows me to lie comfortably on the sofa, drink Coke and enjoy the game.
The Olympics is different from the S-League in one respect.
Except for the champion of the S game, everyone else, even the runner-up, only gets a symbolic bonus.
But the runner-up and third-place winners of the Olympics can still get silver and bronze medals.
As for the bronze medalist, it was decided in the third place match a few days ago and was won by the North American team.
North American fans were a little unhappy at first, after all, it was an all-star team with high hopes, but when the slogan NA>EU came out, North American fans instantly became excited...
third?
Anyway, as long as we are better than your European teams, that’s enough.
The best performing European team was the Danish team, where A P was located, which was eliminated by the Chinese team in the quarterfinals.
In contrast, the silver medalist South Korean team had everyone looking sad and not happy at all.
This is also a matter of course.
How could someone who has been number one in the world and knows that feeling be satisfied with being number two?
The Huaxia team was completely immersed in the joy of winning the championship. As soon as they returned to the lounge, everyone's cell phone rang. Hearing Mingkai and Xiangguo speaking their hometown dialects, and looking at the proud faces of everyone, Yuan Shen guessed that it was their family members calling.
Even if the older generation does not understand the competition, they know the significance of the Olympics. Their children have gone from being internet-addicted teenagers to professional players who can make money, and now they have become national athletes and have won Olympic gold medals to bring glory to the country.
Seeing his teammates sharing their achievements and joy with their families, Yuan Shen couldn't help but feel happy for them.
"Let me take a picture of you as a souvenir!" Abu took the initiative to suggest, and no one had any objection.
The ten players of the Chinese team stood together, showing the gold medals around their necks to the camera, smiling and hugging each other's shoulders.
Click!
The photo was frozen there and everyone kept it.
Some staff also posted it on Weibo, and within just ten minutes, there were thousands of comments. Its popularity continued to rise, catching up with [#LOLOlympicsWinning] which has been promoted to the top of Weibo's hot search list.
Fans unanimously agreed that this was an extremely memorable photo.
LOL was selected as a demonstration sport in the Olympics this time, and I don’t know if there will be a next time. Even if there is, it will be four years later, and by then, these six people may not still be active in the professional arena.
No one knows what will happen in these four years.
This is the only photo taken.
Probably, there will never be such a team again.
Thinking of this, the fans were moved that they had witnessed the birth and battles of this team with their own eyes, but also felt an indescribable loneliness and emotion.
Perhaps many years later, when many fans have started their own families and careers, they will occasionally think about this and feel that this is an indispensable memory of their youth.
"After we go back, we will be competitors!!" Mingkai said.
"Haha, I won't let you win." Uzi laughed.
"RNG? Hehe, at worst, I can just keep assigning you to the next level and catch you at level 2!"
"Factory, don't forget that I am still with RNG." Xiang Guo said confidently: "I have learned a lot from you in this competition. My head is full of wild ideas and enthusiasm for playing games. I will definitely surprise you when the time comes."
"Hey."
Wei Shen sighed and smiled bitterly, "Damn, your team is so competitive. I don't think I have much hope this year."
Yuan Shen and the others all understood why Wei Shen said this.
LGD's performance in the summer season is not good. It is currently hovering in the middle and lower reaches of the league, and it is questionable whether it can enter the playoffs.
When Wei Shen came to play in the Olympics, LGD's performance declined the most seriously.
There are also rumors that LGD's management is in chaos and does not manage regular training at all.
“Come on!”
It is not easy to interfere in the affairs of other clubs, so Yuan Shen could only pat him on the shoulder and encourage him.
Transfer?
As far as he knows, Wei Shen is a very loyal person, and he is very loyal to LGD...
To be more precise, Wei Shen has deep feelings for his old teammates who have fought together in LGD for several years. He enjoys the feeling of playing games with friends and will not consider transferring.
Everyone has benefited a lot from this Olympics.
The two junglers have complementary styles and share understandings of the game.
Every player learned a lot from their teammates.
Again, everyone will develop different abilities in different environments.
However, not every player can grow so fast in such an environment.
E-sports requires a lot of talent, and talent determines the upper limit.
Fortunately, they reached their peak right after their debut, and each of the ten people who came here is very talented.
Yuan Shen himself also gained a lot.
His operation skills have reached the ceiling of the game, and it is extremely difficult to make progress. His gains this time are also in terms of tactical system.
In the last game, Yuan Shen was deeply touched by the fierce and aggressive playing style of all members of the Chinese team.
He entered the professional arena at the beginning of last year and received training from OMG. He has been sacrificing himself and learning to be a blue-collar top laner.
Since joining IG, he has fully demonstrated his talent.
Teams all over the world are studying how to defeat IG and defend their world No. 1 title. If they stay where they are, they will be surpassed by latecomers sooner or later. If they want to stay ahead, they must keep improving.
A king must either advance or retreat.
Of course, he also learned a lot from Xiang Guo.
Especially the unique pot-style method of reducing intelligence, which comes from the instinctive aggressive and fiery style.
The most important thing is that it inherits a major feature from the incense pot.
"Hunger Striking Jungle: When in the enemy half or river, all attributes +3.
For every three groups of enemy monsters destroyed, all attributes +1, cap +3. "
