Chapter 377 - Semi-finals vs. JDG
First is the top lane position, Theshy VS Zoom.

This person gave God a 60:40 split.

Theshy's data shows high average output per minute, many kills, and of course many deaths.

Then there is Zoom. Zoom’s statistics are completely different from Theshy’s. His output is not low, but not particularly high either. He has more assists and can resist a lot of damage, but he also has very few deaths.

This kind of attack inflicts a lot of damage, but results in few deaths, so it requires a lot of skill.

On the one hand, you need to have an advantage in the laning phase and be strong enough to take enough damage.

Secondly, you must have enough judgment to know when to go up and when to retreat when starting a team fight and absorbing skills. If you go up without thinking, the death toll will be high.

The evaluation of the top lane position is: Theshy's personal ability is the strongest in the LPL top lane position. Although Zoom is also very good, he is still incomparable. Theshy is the sharpest spear and Zoom is the strongest shield.

Yuan Shen feels that this evaluation is quite accurate. When Zoom encounters top-level top laners, he mainly focuses on defense and counterattacks.

Since it is a defensive counterattack, you have to be able to defend in the first step to have a chance to counterattack. When facing Theshy, the first step is difficult to achieve.

Then the jungle position, Ning VS Clid
Thirty-seven open.

This score is quite interesting. The 30:70 ratio proves that the gap between the two is very obvious. But is there such a big gap between Ning Wang and Clid?

Below are the data. Ning Wang has the highest number of deaths among junglers. Of course, he also has a lot of active actions, which shows that he has been doing things, but sometimes he does good things and sometimes he does bad things.

Clid's data looks better, especially his first blood rate, which is now second in LPL, much higher than Ning Wang's. This shows that he is good at finding the rhythm in the early stage and can easily catch people.

Evaluation of the jungle position: Ning Wang is actually most afraid of the turtle. The rhythm in the early stage is very good, and he can counter-camp and attack. If it is a complete turtle, Ning Wang can restrain it.

Next, mid lane position, Rookie VS Yagao.

Fifty-five!

This made Yuan Shen quite curious. What exactly was the 50-50 split?
First of all, let’s look at Rookie’s data. His data during the laning phase is very good. For example, he ranks first in last-hitting suppression at fifteen minutes, and his online solo kill rate is also first.

According to Yagao's data, damage is not the first, but there is one thing that is very high, the damage conversion rate, which is the proportional relationship between economy and damage.

Yagao is the kind of mid laner who consumes very few resources but can still deal damage!

This is quite terrifying. Although his own performance is not very exaggerated, he has won a lot of space for his teammates.

If he doesn't eat the resources, then his teammates will eat them, and his teammates will get more money.

Evaluation of the mid laner: Rookie's personal ability is much stronger, but Yagao's idea is very correct. He cannot consume too many resources and create opportunities for his teammates. As for Rookie, he mainly relies on his personal ability. Now he has an advantage in the middle lane, and then considers whether to help his teammates. The two people have completely different ideas.

Then comes the ADC position, Smlz VS IMP.

Thirty-seven open.

The data of Smlz below is not very outstanding in any aspect.

Of course, this standard is used for ADCs of strong teams. All the data are around fourth or fifth place. There is no one who is particularly outstanding, nor is there any shortcoming.

As for Imp's data, they are very good. No matter whether it is a single kill, farming, or team fighting, his data is always in the top three, and many of them are first in the ADC position.

Overall rating for the ADC position: "Imp is better than Smlz in both personal ability and teamwork. The bottom lane is a huge breakthrough point. If JDG can seize the opportunity, they can win."

Yuan Shen did not quite agree with this evaluation. In fact, many teams had done this before, but they still lost in the end.

One of the important reasons is that Smlz has a good personality. Even if he is targeted and cannot win in the laning phase, he will not lose his temper.

This is very important. If your mentality explodes, it will be really difficult to play. If your mentality is still there, with the help of teammates, you can get back on your feet and have a chance to carry the game.

Then comes the support position, Baolan VS Lvmao.

Four to six.

Baolan's data is just average in all aspects and is not outstanding in EDG.

Lvmao's data is at the top three level, slightly better than Baolan.

Comprehensive evaluation of the support position: The supports of both teams are tools, mainly for vision and team initiation. In this regard, Green Hair does a little better. The good news is that in the match between IG and JDG, the focus is definitely not on the support, so these differences have little impact.

After reading it, Yuan Shen suddenly felt like something was missing. Oh, right, why was he not there?
Yuan Shen continued to read and found it!
Yuanshen VS Clid
This is mentioned separately.

First of all, let’s look at Yuan Shen’s data. When these data were released, Yuan Shen himself was a little surprised.

All the best!

Whether it's leading in the jungle, assisting, commanding, etc.

As long as it is positive, it is basically the first.

After looking at Yagao's previous data, the author of this post gave a conclusion:
"If it's Genshin Impact's jungler, it's 100-90! The gap between the two is too big. Basically, if Clid can play it, Yuan Shen can definitely play it. It's worth our own research and study."

Yuan Shen was watching, and Fu Manduo reminded him, "It's almost time, we're ready to go on stage."

So everyone on IG stood up and prepared to play.

In the live commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and Rita were ready.

Wawa explained: "The upcoming semi-final of this summer season will be between IG and JDG!"

Miller continued: "From the current state of the two teams, both are pretty good. JDG defeated RNG to get to the top. In fact, many people didn't think they could beat RNG at the beginning, but they did it!"

Rita continued: "As for IG, we are all very familiar with them. There is no need to introduce them. They are the strongest team in LPL right now and are ready to accept challenges at any time!"

On the competition stage, the host came on stage and invited the contestants from both sides:

"Now, let's welcome JDG!"

The five JDG players appeared on the field, the director gave a close-up, and the audience cheered:
"JDG! JDG! JDG!"

JDG has quite a lot of fans, and the cheers are heard one after another.

The host said: "Now, let us welcome the IG team!"

So Yuan Shen brought all the IG members onto the stage!
"IG! IG!" The cheers from the audience were overwhelming. In the entire venue, only the two letters IG could be heard.

The IG players also walked to the center of the stage and faced off against FPX.

Yuan Shen stood in front of Clid and extended his hand. The two shook hands and then turned back to their seats.

After Yuan Shen sat down, he put on his headphones. Everything was ready, and the first BP began!

In this game, IG is on the red side.

JDG is on the blue side.

BAN hero stage.

IG: Kalista, Policewoman, Big Mouth.

JDG: Gragas, Elise, and Mantis.

Wawa analyzed: "Both sides' BPs were very targeted. The ID was targeting JDG's bottom lane core, Imp. Imp's performance in the bottom lane this season is quite good."

"In the previous semi-finals, if Imp hadn't played well, it would have been difficult to beat RNG." Rita agreed: "Yes, the bottom lane is very important in the current version, so in this BO5, the bottom lane will probably become one of the main points of contention for both sides."

"JDG's ban is simple, targeting the jungler who performed well this season."

Enter the hero selection phase.

JDG on the blue side got the Prince on the first floor.

It was IG's turn. IG locked down Rambo and Ashe on the first and second floors.

Seeing that Rambo was locked down, Wawa commented: "It's not easy for Rambo to play against Prince. It's not the laning problem, but it's easy for the opponent's jungler to gank him. Prince's ability to cooperate with the jungler is too strong, and Rambo is often seen as a target."

Miller agreed: "Yes, we don't doubt Theshy's proficiency in Rambo, but we are worried that he can't beat four hands with one punch."

JDG got Varus and Tam on the second and third floors.

Rita commented: "This bottom lane combination was picked at the right time. Varus has the ability to carry the team, and Imp is very good at playing Varus. Now it depends on how IG will respond."

IG scattered and locked the clockwork and entered the second round of BP.

IG also banned Galio and Corki.

JDG chose to ban Lee Sin and Rengar.

Wawa commented: "Five junglers have been banned! JDG's five banned positions are all junglers, but I don't think it's likely to limit Yuan Shen's performance, as Yuan Shen has a lot of heroes."

IG got Braum on the fourth floor, so the only thing missing was a jungler.

JDG locked on Taliyah and Sejuani on the fourth and fifth floors.

This leaves Yuan Shen as the only jungler left to choose from.

The director gave him a close-up.

Wawa explained: "IG's classic fifth floor counter position is given to the jungler. There are not many popular junglers that can be used outside now. Of course, with Yuan Shen's ability, he can also play without playing the popular version."

At this moment, IG showed a Kaiying on the fifth floor and locked him.

Seeing that Kaiying was locked, Clid was very happy: "Nice, if the opponent chooses Kaiying, he will be useless in the early stage. We can be stronger in the early stage. When Kaiying is up, his teammates will probably explode."

Yagao smiled and said, "Since you are so sure, I will just lie down. I will be at your disposal in the middle lane at any time. Just say the word."

Top laner Zoom also said: "I am always ready to support in the top lane. It doesn't matter if I lose some troops in the top lane."

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

Red side IG: Top laner Rumble, jungler Kaiying, mid laner Clockwork, ADC Ashe, support Braum

JDG on the blue side: top laner Prince, jungler Zhu Mei, mid laner Taliyah, ADC Varus, support Tam
Seeing this lineup, Wawa commented: "It's Kaiying as the jungler? I didn't expect IG to choose Kaiying on the fifth floor. Kaiying is actually a hero who is not easy to do in the early stage and needs to develop. Clid prefers to fight in the early stage. For IG, it is very important to be able to drag the game to Kaiying's strong period."

Rita added: "Although Clid likes to stir things up in the early game and his personal mechanics are fine, he plays Sejuani, so even if he's a little more aggressive, I don't think the effect will be very obvious."

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen gave the command: "We need some development in this game, you all take it easy, don't give us any chances in the early stages."

Baolan responded: "Anyway, we are the bottom laners who just take on the pressure without thinking. Other things have nothing to do with us."

Rookie said: "I can hold the mid lane steady, nothing serious will happen."

Yuan Shen laughed: "When did you become so unconfident? I thought you were going to beat him up."

Rookie responded: "Forget it. He is capable. If I set a flag now, I will probably get slapped in the face. I better be careful."

Thshy's voice came: "I am easy to play in the top lane, but the opponent's jungler will definitely target me."

Yuan Shen said: "I will cover you then, we can fight two against two."

The first round of BP was refreshed, and neither side forced anything, so the game started normally.

With the help of his teammates, Yuan Shen got the blue buff and began to clear the monsters in the lower half of the jungle area.

While clearing the jungle, Yuan Shen was also observing the situation on the line.

First, in the top lane, Theshy was not exaggerating. He played Rambo very well. He started to suppress the opponent's Prince at level 1. As long as the Prince was close to the line of troops, he would be consumed by Rambo. "

Wawa commented: "It's still hard to fight against Prince in the top lane. Most melee opponents are easy to fight against Rambo, and Prince is no exception. However, Zoom still has a way. He is using the bushes to pull him away."

At this time, Zoom was being chased and beaten by Rambo, so he chose to go into the bushes, thinking that Rambo couldn't catch up with him.

However, he didn't expect that Rambo would set an eye right under his feet and find him out. The bushes became useless and the prince had to walk out.

"The opponent's top laner's vision is used for laning, and he has no vision of the river." Zoom reminded his teammates.

Clid understood immediately: "Wait for me to get on the road, don't worry."

In the middle lane, Rookie's Clockwork faced Yagao's Taliyah.

Taliyah has only one idea, which is to push the line. He doesn't consider anything else.

This hero's laning ability is reflected in his fast pushing speed.

In the bottom lane, Frost and Braum are facing Varus and Tam.

It's a 50-50 situation now, and both ADCs have the ability to consume the other side.

At the same time, the supports on both sides tend to be protective in nature, and they generally will not take the initiative unless the jungler comes. Of course, it is difficult to take the initiative unless the opponent gives them a chance.

Wawa explained: "Kaiying is still clearing the jungle now. There is no chance for him to go to the bottom and middle lanes if he moves up again."

"Zhu Mei's jungle clearing route is similar, both are clearing upwards. I feel that the junglers on both sides may encounter each other. If they do, it will be a two-on-two operation. There will be operational pressure."

Miller agreed: "Yes, Kaiying is still too weak now. If it is really a two-on-two situation, the difference between his role and the opponent's jungler will be very large. This is a problem."

Three and a half minutes into the game, Yuan Shen came to the top lane, placed a ward in the triangle grass, and then continued to clear the jungle.

It would be very difficult to successfully gank the top lane now, because the prince on the opposite side is not a fool.

Yuan Shen said, "I'll continue to farm the jungle, you develop first, the opposing jungler may come up."

Theshy responded: “No problem.”

As soon as Yuan Shenkaiying took a step forward, the Pig Girl on the opposite side was seen by the triangle grass. He obviously wanted to go around behind him.

"Piggy girl, did you see that?" Yuan Shen gave the signal.

Theshy retreated in time, and Piglet understood and chose to retreat.

But, he didn't go far!

Wawa explained: "Zhumie is not giving up yet. He seems to be planning to change his approach and launch an attack directly from the line!"

I saw Piglet use her Q skill to jump over the wall, come to the line from the blue triangle grass, and enter the online grass!
