Chapter 373-Head-on confrontation!

On the FPX side, they pretended to attack the Baron, but actually didn't do it at all.

The IG team continued to explore the way forward, and suddenly Yuan Shen commanded: "Don't go over yet, wait for me to go around the position."

Yuan Shen has already reached his upper jungle area, he is circling!

The opponent should not directly attack the Baron just because Kalista does not have the ultimate. This does not make sense. If they can attack the Baron because of this, then they can also attack it without it.

"You can go ahead." After walking around, Yuan Shen let his teammates go ahead.

So, the four people in front continued to move forward.

This time Galio was ahead.

The moment approaching the dragon pit, Taliyah's W appeared again.

However, Rookie was very ferocious. He used flash to enter the field and activated W!

Miller exclaimed: "What a decisive Rookie, he chose to flash back! His W skill controlled the opposing Sejuani and Kled, and Taliyah used flash to dodge, so what should we do now?"

"FPX was trapped in the Baron pit. Kennen flashed in and activated his ultimate. Sejuani's ultimate controlled Kennen, and Taliyah blocked the way!"

The FPX players chose to retreat together, approaching the Baron pit and flashing up. There was no other way, if they didn't flash, they would all die.

But using up the flash doesn’t mean you can survive, because Yuan Shen’s rat has arrived!

"Hi, hello!" Yuan Shen's rat suddenly appeared above the dragon pit. He went around the triangle grass and originally wanted to output to the dragon pit, but he didn't expect the situation to be more optimistic than he imagined.

GuGu commented: "Frog shot a lot, FPX couldn't handle it, no one had flash, Kog'Maw and Janna were killed instantly, Sejuani had to flash, Taliyah was already dead down there!"

IG won a great victory in the team battle!

Baolan muttered, "Why are they fighting like this? It feels so urgent."

Rookie speculated: "I guess it's because Rat's Infinity Edge came out too quickly. Once Rat has Infinity Edge, the squishy heroes in their team will basically be killed instantly. They won't be able to withstand it."

Yuan Shen commanded his teammates to attack the big dragon, and the big dragon was easily taken!

Return to the city for supplies, Infinity Blade in hand.

Seeing the Infinity Blade on the rat, the commentator became more energetic.

Wawa explained: "The mouse has Infinity now, and the damage is much higher than before."

"Now we can see whether Infinity Blade hurts or not."

The five IG players pushed forward together in the middle lane. Yuan Shen didn't need to go around the side this time, he just needed to follow his teammates in the front.

FPX began to let go of the defensive towers, including the first and second towers in the middle lane.

These two defense towers are vulnerable to sneak attacks from the side, so they have to be placed.

It was different when they got to the high ground. Doinb commanded: "Hold on. If the opponent rushes to the tower, we will have a chance."

The next wave of soldiers entered the defensive tower, and the FPX players went forward to clear the soldiers.

Just at this moment, Kalista and Gem suddenly used their ultimate moves!
Wawa commented: "Here we go! This time it's IG who takes the initiative to start a team fight. Kalista flashes forward and throws the gem, knocking away the opposing Taliyah and Sejuani. The team fight is about to start!"

Miller exclaimed: "Is it the ADC who flashed in to start the teamfight? Galio's ultimate was used on the gem, FPX is in trouble now!"

"The rat also appears! Activate the ultimate skill, flash over to deal damage, the damage is too high, three hits! He killed the opposite Janna in three hits, and two more hits, and Kog'Maw and Taliyah were gone too. Oh my god, is this the rat with endless power?"

The IG fans at the scene are already excited:
"IG! IG! IG!"

Yuan Shen's rat fired a burst of shots, and the remaining opponents were all low on health, so they could be killed by his teammates.

Baolan cheered, "Nice, we won!"

Smlz said: "One wave, one wave is fine!"

Rookie was more relaxed: "This game was a complete win without any effort. I felt like the game was over without doing anything."

Thshy's voice came: "AP Kennen is such a boring hero."

Yuan Shen joked: "As expected, you still have to play AD, so that you can show your pulling skills, right?"

Rookie laughed, "You know him too well."

On the commentary stand, Wawa announced: "With the explosion of the crystal in FPX's base, we would like to congratulate IG for winning the second game. Now the two sides enter the third game, which is equivalent to a BO1. After a short break, we will bring you more exciting games."

The game was over, and everyone on IG stood up and walked towards the lounge.

Entering the team channel, IG met the FPX team.

The leader Doinb looked depressed and seemed to be feeling unwell.

After seeing Yuan Shen, Doinb suddenly said, "Yuan Shen, you are already so good, why don't you let Ning Wang come up and practice more, right? He still has a lot of room for improvement, and we should give young people the opportunity to improve."

After hearing this, everyone in IG was speechless. All they could say was that Doinb dared to say anything.

Yuan Shen responded: "It depends on the coach's arrangement. I can go back and ask our coach for you."

Upon hearing this, Doinb immediately changed his tone: "No, I'm joking, Yuan Shen, it's just a joke."

It’s okay for players to joke around with each other, but they must be more honest in front of the coach.

Just then, Xiaotian walked up and said, "Go back and tell Gao Zhenning to fight like a man."

Yuan Shen couldn't hold it anymore. Was this a trick to provoke him? Xiaotian said that this was indeed very abstract, because from the appearance, Prince Ning was strong and powerful, while Xiaotian was a little frail. As a result, Xiaotian asked Prince Ning to fight like a man, which was a bit exaggerated.

Everyone in IG returned to the lounge together, and Fu Manduo came up to greet them, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. This game was a beautiful win. It was obvious that they were in a mess."

Baolan agreed, "It was quite chaotic. He was obviously at a disadvantage but he still went to fight the Baron, and then he got himself killed."

Smlz analyzed: "It's probably because they are afraid that Twitch will get Infinity. We have gems and they don't have assassins. No one can kill Twitch in a teamfight."

"With the endless teacher, as long as he can output in those few seconds, the opponent will definitely not be able to bear it. I guess they also think so, so they choose to speed up."

Fu Manduo concluded: "In short, we have the psychological advantage now. We just need to continue playing like this in the next game. They shouldn't be able to do anything about it."

At this moment, Baolan looked at King Ning and said, "Ning Mazi, your old lover asked you to fight like a man."

"Ah? Old lover? What old lover? Princess Lan, you are not awake yet, are you?" King Ning asked back.

"It's Xiaotian." Baolan replied.

"What? Gao Tianliang? He actually said such a thing? Gao Tianliang, you just wait for me!" King Ning felt dizzy.

However, she did not say directly that she must go, as she was aware of her own strength. It would be a very embarrassing situation if she lost.

"After I practice for a while, I will settle the score with him." King Ning continued.

"Pfft... I thought you were going to go find him right away and practice for a while." Baolan jumped out to sneer at the first opportunity.

Fu Manduo called out: "Let's review the game first. There are a few points we need to pay attention to in the last game." So everyone put away their playful smiles and started to review the game.

On the FPX side, they are also reviewing and discussing how to play the next game.

Xiaotian said, "What a pity. In the last game, all the carnivorous junglers were banned. I can't invade. It's hard to win a teamfight against a jungler like Rat. You have to beat him in the early game."

Doinb expressed his doubt: "Can you really beat him in the early game? It's not that easy, Xiaotian."

Xiaotian continued, "That's better than the last game. My suggestion is to send out all the junglers in the next game and just compete in operation."

Jin Gong nodded: "I have no objection, just tell me when you have made your decision."

Lin Weixiang also expressed his opinion: "I think it is useless to hide. If we operate, we can still have a chance."

Liu Qingsong agreed: "Our operation is not worse than theirs, we can definitely do it."

Seeing that everyone else said so, Doinb had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's do it together with the other team."

The short break is almost over and it's time to go on stage.

Prince Ning suddenly complained: "Gao Tianliang is still trying to provoke me."

He was playing with his mobile phone at that time, and probably saw the message Xiaotian sent him.

Fu Manduo said: "It's almost time now, everyone, it's time to go on stage."

So everyone followed Fumanduo out of the lounge and prepared to go on stage.

After entering the passage, the door of the front lounge opened and the FPX members appeared.

Xiaotian looked over here a few times, as if he was looking for someone. When he found that Prince Ning was not there, he said, "Is Gao Zhenning, the coward, destined to be the boss?"

Before the IG members finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps. Ning Wang also walked out of the lounge and pointed at Xiao Tian and challenged him: "Gao Tianliang, if you have the guts, play SOLO with me. Do you think I don't know that you are trying to provoke me?"

Xiaotian laughed and said, "You should wait until you can play in the game."

This really irritated Ning Wang. He really couldn't play now because he was not strong enough and would lose the game.

In the live commentary booth, Wawa explained:

"The third match between the two sides is about to begin. In the first two matches, both sides played very well. Now it's the final round, and it feels like they're going to bring out all their best."

GuGu continued: "Since IG doesn't want to change players, I personally feel that IG doesn't have to use their best skills. FPX should do so, otherwise it will be hard to win."

After the players from both teams came onto the field and took their positions, the third round of BP began.

In this game, IG returned to the red side and FPX was on the blue side.

BAN hero stage.

IG: Varus, Policewoman, Big Mouth

FPX: Clockwork, Syndra, and Rumble.

Miller analyzed: "In this game, IG targeted the bottom lane and banned three late-stage ADCs, which was quite targeted, while FPX targeted the mid and top lane, mainly targeting heroes with strong laning abilities."

Wawa agreed: "It feels like FPX is planning to play tricks with IG in this game, but I personally am not very optimistic. They deliberately did not ban Twitch, probably because they wanted to have a fast pace in the early game, invade, and let Twitch develop. Of course, I think IG may not choose it."

Enter the hero selection phase.

FPX on the blue side got Kalista on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "FPX also chose Kalista in this game. This hero is currently the T0 ADC in the version. She is very strong in the laning phase, can set the pace and start a team fight in the mid-term, and has a high output in the late stage. She is versatile."

Miller agreed, "That's right. Now there is a question. If FPX wins this game, can it prove that it is mainly a hero problem? Of course, if FPX loses, then Lin Weixiang will be upset."

The BP continued, and IG got Ashe and Braum on the first and second floors.

Immediately afterwards, FPX locked down Spider and Prince on the second and third floors.

Gugu explained: "Hit the jungle spider. No wonder they don't ban the rat. The rat is completely unable to operate when it encounters the spider in the jungle and will be eaten infinitely."

IG locked onto Shen on the third floor!
Wawa cheered, "Is it here? Theshy's Shen. I heard that he learned Shen from Yuan Shen. We can look forward to it today."

Entering the second round of BP, IG banned Galio and Corki.

FPX banned Mantis and Rek’Sai.

IG got the Ahri on the fourth floor.

Wawa commented: "Now I feel that Doinb can't play many mid laners. Although there are many heroes who can play against Ahri, can Doinb handle them?"

At this moment, FPX got Karma and Thresh in the fourth lane and fifth floor.

After Karma was chosen, Wawa smiled and said, "This is a real unique skill. Let's not talk about the others. Anyway, I won't suffer any loss when laning, and I can probably suppress the opponent."

Miller agreed: "Yes, Karma's laning strength is actually quite high. Her skills have a short CD, she can hit and run, and she has control. She is an all-rounder."

"Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious. He can easily become a slacker and needs to rely on the performance of his teammates."

The director's camera was turned to IG, and GuGu explained: "Now we are still missing a jungler position for IG, what are we going to play?"

Everyone's attention was on Yuan Shen, and they were waiting for Yuan Shen to choose a jungle hero.

Suddenly, IG showed Gnar on the fifth floor, locked!

Wawa simply couldn't understand: "Ah? Aren't you short of a jungler? Why did you choose Gnar?"

Gugu speculated: "Could it be that this Shen is not the top laner, but Gnar is the top laner?"

Although all five heroes have been selected, IG's lineup is still uncertain.

The countdown entered the last twenty seconds, and neither side could change their lineups:
Red side IG: top single Gnar, jungle Shen, mid single Leblanc, ADC Ashe, support Braum

Blue side FPX: top single Prince, jungle Spider, mid single Karma, ADC Kalista, support Thresh

Seeing this scene, Wawa commented: "This Shen is actually played by Yuan Shen himself. It seems that we are lucky in this game. We can see Shen, the first top laner of the century and the world's best Shen."

Miller agreed: "Yes, although it is used for jungle, I feel that the operation should be the same. The difference is that this game needs to focus more on setting the pace rather than fighting alone."

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen began to set the pace:

"In this game, push the line as much as possible. If you are pushed back, you may be overrun by the tower. In short, it is very dangerous."

Rookie responded: "I definitely can't push the mid lane, but luckily the opponent won't come to the mid lane to kill me by crossing the tower."

Baolan said: "Our bottom lane should be the most dangerous, we must keep pushing the line!"

Soon, the first round of wild monsters refreshed, and Yuan Shen started to fight with the help of the duo.

He chose to go straight up at level 2, clearing the jungle in the upper area first before coming down, otherwise he would easily be counter-jungled.
