Chapter 383 - Line-switching? Is there such a thing?
Enter the hero selection phase.

In this game, JDG on the blue side got the Tristana on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "JDG grabbed Tristana on the first floor. Actually, I feel that Tristana's excellence level is not that high. Did JDG directly choose Tristana because of a routine?"

Miller analyzed: "From the perspective of the version, Tristana is the sixth most popular ADC in the current version. Of course, three of the top five were GANL, so it is understandable that the remaining two were not chosen."

IG got Clockwork and Rambo on the first and second floors.

Rtia commented: "IG's mid and top lane picks are relatively comfortable because Yuan Shen is attracting firepower and they can pick their favorite heroes."

Miller agreed: "Yes, this is the benefit brought by Yuan Shen. Many things are hard to see just by watching the content of the game."

JDG got Thresh and Taliyah on the second and third floors.

It was IG's turn again. IG locked onto Ashe on the third floor and entered the second round. IG also banned the big worm and Shen.

JDG banned Zac and Rengar.

IG locked Braum on the fourth floor, while JDG got Jarvan and Maokai on the fourth and fifth floors.

Wawa explained: "Now the only jungle hero that Yuan Shen has not decided on is his. There are still many jungle heroes he can use, so he can take his time to choose."

Just then IG locked on Olaf.

Miller tried to analyze: "If Olaf plays jungle, there is no one who can cooperate with Clockwork and play into the field, but it is also an option. Olaf is very strong in single combat in the early stage."

The lineups for both teams have been finalized.

Red side IG: Top laner Rumble, Jungler Olaf, Mid laner Clockwork, ADC Ashe, Support Braum

JDG on the blue side: top laner Maokai, jungler Jarvan, mid laner Taliyah, ADC Tristana, support Thresh

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

"In this game, the bottom lane will develop first. I will focus on the top, mid and top lane. The opponent will probably target the top and mid lane."

Baolan responded: "It's okay, we can develop on our own in the bottom lane."

The director gave summoner skills to ten people on both sides.

Wawa explained: "In this match, Olaf brought Sprint and Smite, and the summoner skills brought by others were all normal."

However, from a first-person perspective, JDG is already doing something.

The JDG duo did not go down, but chose to stand in front of the second tower in the middle lane.

Not only that, the top lane Prince also followed behind and stood right under the second tower in the middle lane.

Rita speculated: "Could it be that JDG is planning to invade at level one? Otherwise, why would they gather here?"

Miller felt something was wrong: "Maybe it's not an invasion. If it is, it's too late now. The monsters are all gone."

At this moment, the JDG duo and the top laner made a move. The duo moved up again, seemingly going to develop in the top lane, while the top laner moved down.

Miller was stunned: "Switch lanes? This is a lane switch! JDG actually came up with a lane switch strategy at this time."

Wawa tried to analyze: "I feel like there is a reason for this lane swap, because they can't beat the top lane, and although they can gain an advantage in the bottom lane, it's not enough to make up for the gap in the top lane."

"If we switch lanes at this time, we can disrupt IG's rhythm, limit Theshy's performance, and support our own duo."

Rita suddenly realized: "I think I understand. It is true that the lane swap is more beneficial to JDG. It can play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Now it depends on how IG responds. From the current situation, IG has not thought about it in this direction."

With the help of the duo, Yuan Shen got the blue buff and continued to farm the jungle and observe the line.

Suddenly, Yuan Shen discovered that the opposing Tristana and Thresh appeared in the top lane!
Not only that, these two people also ambushed in the bushes at level 1, so Theshy's Rumble was controlled by Thresh's hook before he even reached the line. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tristana hit him with a set of damage, and half of his health was gone.

"The other side changed lanes." Yuan Shen immediately reminded his teammates.

Theshy muttered: "Can we still switch lanes in this version? The top lane tower has a five-minute defense mechanism, it's impossible to push it."

Yuan Shen said: "They must know this, but they still have to switch lanes. It's probably because Zoom is under too much pressure in the lane and he can't bear it, so he can only let his teammates help him bear it."

"Don't worry about that for now. Just try your best to grow and wait for me to come on the road."

This time, Yuan Shen was really unprepared and could only respond as he saw fit.

Baolan was confused now. He asked, "How should we play in the bottom lane? Should we control the minion line and play slowly, or should we quickly push the minion line and the tower?"

Yuan Shen responded: "Look at what the duo on the other side are doing, and follow them."

Baolan glanced at the top lane and saw the JDG duo actively pushing the troops into the tower.

"Then we should also push the troops and the tower. We can't be slower than them."

So Smlz and Baolan pushed the line of troops together, and the line of troops entered the defensive tower. Sure enough, there was a big tree waiting below.

Wawa commented: "JDG's BP in this game was also very smart. They picked a hero like Maokai who doesn't need to develop in the top lane. Even if Maokai's development is very poor, as long as he has a level, it's enough. But Rumble is different."

"Rumble is a hero who needs to develop in the early game. If his development is poor in the early game, he will have no chance in this game."

"So, JDG thought clearly. I used my medium-quality horse to exchange for your high-quality horse, and I still made a profit in the end."

At this time in the official live broadcast room, IG fans were all denouncing:
"You can't win head-on, so you try this trick, huh? You're really good JDG."

"Oh my god, are you trying to disgust me on purpose? A duo of two against one?"

"How can Shy develop in this game? It's not easy to fight one against two."

"What do you know? This is called all is fair in war. If you can do it, then do it."

On the bottom lane, the soldiers entered the defense tower and Frost began to push the tower, but now she had no equipment and levels, so the speed of pushing the tower was very slow.

On the top lane, the soldiers also entered the defense tower. Tristana used the E skill on the defense tower and activated Q for crazy output. After the E skill exploded, the defense tower lost a lot of health.

Theshy's Rumble can only use the basic Q and E skills to last hit, and can't do anything else.

However, the opponent had no intention of exhausting him and only had eyes for the defense tower.

Yuan Shen is farming from the bottom up, and he really can't go to the top lane now. The opponent's jungler is most likely there, and he can't win with two against three.

In fact, it is not easy to fight two against two. Olaf has no ability to charge in the early stage. The opponent will be killed by a hook and be obedient after one E skill.

So now I can only level up in the jungle first, and other things will have to wait until after I lay the foundation.

Wawa explained: "There was no spark in the early part of this game. Both sides chose to develop first. Let's develop first and then talk about it."

"It is also a test of the ability of both top laners to withstand pressure. Having said that, Theshy seems to rarely withstand pressure. I remember that it is very rare. Relatively speaking, Zoom has withstood pressure many more times and he has more experience."

Rita analyzed: "But judging from the last hits of both sides, Rambo has more, maybe because Rambo is better at last hits."

Four minutes into the game, in the middle lane, Rookie gave a signal to the top lane: "The opponent may go to the top lane to cross the tower, and there is no one in the middle lane now."

Taliyah is gone, and no one knows where he went. This is a big problem! Taliyah may go to the bottom lane, and fight with the jungler and the big tree, three against two.

Although the tree seems to be suppressed, he is at the top level and has strong fighting power.

Of course, it is also possible to go to the top lane, four against one. Facing four people, Rambo will not be able to operate and will definitely die.

The key is, which one did the other side choose?
"Use the E skill on Frost." Yuan Shen reminded.

Fortunately, there is an Ice in the bottom lane, which comes in handy at this time.

Ashe used her E skill towards the opponent's lower jungle area.

Sure enough, it’s not going to the bottom lane!
Yuan Shen was already walking towards the top lane. He had been walking towards the top lane from the beginning because he suspected that the opponent would not care about the bottom lane.

Since the benefits of ganking the bottom lane are not high, is it necessary to help relieve the pressure on Maokai?
Originally, they changed the line in preparation for letting the big tree withstand the pressure.

It’s okay if the big trees are poorly developed, but conversely, it’s not of much use if the big trees are well developed.

But it’s different on the road, the benefits are huge.

On the one hand, it can suppress the development of Rambo, and on the other hand, it can speed up the development of Imp's Tristana.

Now Ashe's E skill also proves this point.

From a bird's eye view on the commentary booth, the four JDG players are already in position, the troops enter the defensive tower and start attacking directly!

Wawa commented: "Here we go, JDG chose to attack four-on-one in the top lane. This is the significance of JDG choosing Taliyah in the middle lane. Taliyah can push the line very quickly, so there is more time to support roaming."

Miller continued, "If nothing unexpected happens in this wave, Rambo will definitely be gone. It all depends on who gets the kill."

Just when the JDG players were about to take action, a TP was sent to the top lane tower.

"Clockwork, it's Clockwork, we can kill it together!" Everyone on JDG became even more excited. Originally there was one kill, but now it became two.

Clockwork is only level 4, so he poses no threat to JDG.

They chose to attack Rambo first. Thresh walked forward and used his E skill to sweep Rambo back, following up with a hook.

Rambo used his flash to dodge, but after he landed, he was immediately lifted back by the opponent's Taliyah's W.

Dragnet!

The Prince follows up with EQ, and Tristana outputs.

Clockwork TP landed and gave Rambo a shield, but it was useless and Rambo was killed.

"Clockwork, Clockwork!" The JDG players gave Clockwork a kill mark, and then they chose to continue crossing the tower.

Now Thresh is out of health after holding the tower, so it’s time for Jarvan to hold the tower.

But at this moment, Olaf appeared!

Yuan Shen's Olaf started sprinting, rushed from the river, and went straight to find the low-health Thresh.

The opponent seemed to have not noticed yet and wanted to continue crossing the tower. Clockwork used flash to evade and delay time.

Yuan Shen approached Thresh, slowed him down with an axe, moved to avoid E and hook, and after getting close, he used a basic attack followed by an E skill to get the kill.

"Olaf! Olaf!" Thresh reminded his teammates.

However, the opponent was still crossing the tower, and the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

Yuan Shen's Olaf quickly approached the people on the opposite side by sprinting.

Tristana attacks Clockwork in the face and takes his head off before leaving.

However, a TP was given to the defense tower and Rambo came back!
Wawa explained: "No, this wave of JDG seems to be too much. They cross the tower like this and wait for Rambo to revive and TP. Can they still leave now?"

Miller continued: "Olaf slowed down the opposite Taliyah with an axe, and it seemed that Taliyah was going to be held back. After Rumble TPed to the ground, he activated W to slow down, used E to slow down the opposite Taliyah, activated Q to burn it, the damage was very high, and Taliyah gave up the flash and ran away."

As for JDG, they also know that if they just run, they will be defeated one by one. If they choose to fight back, they still have a chance!

Clid reminded his teammates: "My EQ is almost ready, we can kill the enemy!"

At this time they had retreated to the bushes in front of the Stone Man in the top lane. Yuan Shen placed a ward, Prince used EQ, and Yuan Shen moved sideways and easily dodged!

Rambo activated W and approached the opposite Taliyah, while Yuan Shen first attacked the opposite Prince.

Miller commented: "The scene is very confusing now. Are the Prince and Olaf dueling? How can the Prince, who has no skills, beat Olaf? The Prince also discovered this problem. He chose to turn back to help, but was slowed down by Olaf. With the red buff, the Prince flashed back to help."

"Rumble has already dealt with Taliyah, but he himself was injured by Tristana. Olaf comes up to attack Jarvan. It seems like another kill is going to happen!"

The moment Rambo was killed by Tristana, Yuan Shen approached the Prince and continued to attack, taking down the Prince's head.

Miller explained: "The two sides have exchanged a lot of heads. Now it's a one-on-one duel. Olaf has one-third of his health, and Tristana has two-thirds. Tristana has no skills. Can he win?"

"As Olaf's health gets lower, his attack speed and lifestealing effect will become more and more obvious!"

Olaf was slashing and hacking frantically, while Tristana was fighting and retreating, and everything looked normal at the front.

When Yuan Shen was really about to die, his blood volume could not be reduced anymore because he was sucking blood too quickly!

Tristana finally waited for an E skill, and after using it on Olaf, she died before she could use the E skill!
Yuan Shen's Olaf got a triple kill!

Rita cheered: "Nice! Yuan Shen did it, he did it! He had the last laugh! He killed the opponent's Tristana, is this the charm of Olaf?"

"Except for Olaf, it's hard for me to imagine such strong combat power at this point in time."

Miller agreed: "Yes, Olaf is a very good hero! This hero is very suitable for early-game brawls. Although I think Yuan Shen is unlikely to know in advance that the opponent is going to switch lanes, luck is also part of strength."

At this time, on the IG side, Baolan cheered: "You are invincible, you got a triple kill at the start, your Olaf will become a god of war in this game."

Rookie also said: "This is the match where we can see Yuan Shen perform. He can defeat five opponents by himself!"

Theshy said: "I lost so much in the top lane, I died twice in a row."

Yuan Shen comforted him, "It's okay, you develop first, I can hold the front."

Baolan suddenly asked, "How about we switch back? Anyway, they are all dead now, so there is still time."

Yuan Shen responded: "No, don't change it back. Changing the line now is a good thing for us, how can we change it back?"

Baolan understood what Yuan Shen meant: "It seems like you are planning to do something big."

On the JDG side, Clid was annoyed: "What bad luck! Why did the opponent's Olaf come up at the right time? If he hadn't come, we would have made a lot of money in this wave."

Zoom said: "Brothers, stand up, I'm still under pressure in the bottom lane."
