On the competition stage, Yuan Shen and all the IG members appeared!
The audience cheered in unison:

"IG! IG! IG!"

Soon after, the WE team also came to the stage, and the WE fans were also very excited:

"WE! WE! WE!"

The two players shook hands in the middle, and Yuan Shen faced off against Kangdi.

Conti looked a little nervous.

After shaking hands, both parties turned around, walked to their respective seats and sat down.

Yuan Shen put on his headphones.

Fu Manduo said, "Everyone, get ready and concentrate. This is our first game of the new season. Show us IG's strength and give them a good fight."

Now it is a new season and a new version, which means that many clubs, both domestic and foreign, will pay attention to this game. Everyone wants to see how IG, the three-time champion, will play.

In this game, IG is on the red side and WE is on the blue side.

Enter the BAN hero stage.

IG: Varus, Policewoman, Kalista

WE: Mantis, Rek'Sai, Shen

Gugu commented: "In this game, WE chose to target the jungler. These three heroes should be the ones they think can be used as junglers in the current version and are relatively strong."

Wawa continued: "I feel that for Yuan Shen, he doesn't really care whether the version is strong or not. He cares about the lineup of both sides. If he thinks he can use it, even if it is a very unpopular hero, he will use it to play jungle."

"IG is targeting the hero pool of the bottom lane brother-in-law, mainly three pairs of representatives are strong, which can alleviate the disadvantage of the bottom lane."

Enter the hero selection phase.

WE on the blue side got the Prince on the first floor, and it was IG's turn to choose.

IG locked in Ornn on the first floor and got Ryze on the second floor.

Wawa muttered, "Eh? Is this Ornn playing in the top lane? Ornn is very strong in this version. Ornn was released before the S7 World Championship, but because he was too strong after he came out, he was banned by Riot. He didn't play in the entire S7, but now he's unbanned."

Gugu shook his head: "I feel like it should be IG who is trying it. They want to try out the effect of this hero. After all, they couldn't try it before because it was banned."

WE got Vampire and Taliyah on the second and third floors.

Miller commented: "Vampire? I rarely see Brother Tui playing Vampire before. He usually plays tanks or warrior heroes. Does he have any comment on Vampire in this game?"

IG locked Xia on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

IG chose to ban Kog'Maw and Tristana.

WE banned Luo and Gnar.

IG got Shen on the fourth floor.

GuGu commented: "Shen? This is Shen support, right? It can't be Shen top lane. I feel like Theshy is unlikely to play a hero like Shen."

Wawa agreed: "It feels a bit overkill. Although Shen can form a good combination with various heroes, Shen's functionality can be fully realized by placing him in the support position."

"The main reason is that half of IG's bottom lane is to resist pressure. The difference between choosing other heroes to resist pressure and choosing Shen to resist pressure is not that big."

WE got EZ and Tam on the fourth and fifth floors.

Gugu explained: "Brother-in-law's EZ is here! I remember his EZ proficiency was high, it's one of his signature skills."

Miller analyzed: "I personally feel that top ADCs are all very strong. This hero is the representative of skill-based ADCs. If EZ can play well, this type of ADC can also play well."

At this time, IG's fifth floor has not been determined yet. IG chooses to take out the Captain on the fifth floor and lock it!

"Ah? Gangplank? Then this Ornn is not the top laner. IG is missing a jungler. Could it be Ornn?"

Miller agreed: "This is obviously Ornn's jungle, as for what effect it will have, we need to wait and see."

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

Red side IG: top lane Gangplank, jungle Ornn, mid lane Ryze, ADC Xayah, support Shen.

Blue side WE: Vampire on top, Prince on jungle, Rock Bird in the middle, ADCEZ, Tam on support

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen started to set the pace: "In this game, we are mainly trying out the new system. You can play freely. If you lose, you will be responsible for it."

"Pfft... I thought you were going to say you were responsible." Rookie couldn't hold it in anymore.

Yuan Shen retorted: "Ah? You didn't play well and lost the game, and you let your teammates take the blame. That's not good."

Theshy asked: "How strong is the hero Ornn?"

"Ornn...you ask me? You're a top laner, and you ask me? This hero's positioning is top lane or support." Yuan Shen chose not to answer.

Theshy muttered: "I haven't had time to try it yet. I thought you knew, so I wanted to ask you. If you tell me, it can save a lot of time."

Yuan Shen replied: "I'll tell you after you pay the tuition."

Theshy stopped talking. This was not a matter of money. If he really paid the tuition, it would be tantamount to admitting that he was Yuan Shen's student, which was a little unacceptable to him.

Although he and Yuan Shen communicated frequently, they did not have a clear teacher-student relationship.

The director showed both teams summoner skills, and Gugu discovered something:

"Did you see that there are four heroes with Kleptomancy in this game? Gangplank, Ryze, Vladimir and Ezreal also have it. I don't understand why Ryze can also have this talent? Does he want to go up and attack someone?"

Miller speculated: "Maybe he really wants to attack someone. I've experienced the talent of Kleptomancy in a pub game. How should I put it? When your skill hits the opponent and steals something, you don't care whether the stolen thing is useful or not. It feels great."

Wawa joked: "Isn't it a feeling that your sense of guilt is being satisfied? Things that cannot be satisfied in real life are satisfied in the game."

In this game, both sides began to organize first-level groups.

It wasn't even Yuan Shen who stopped it, it was Theshy and Rookie who gave the signal:

"Fight a wave, we can fight a wave."

"Invade from this side and find the people on the other side."

Normally at level 1, the blue team's mid laner would be standing guard at the entrance to the lower jungle area. The IG players wanted to find him, so the five IG players came along the line of soldiers, entered the bushes below the middle lane, and after gathering for a while, they continued to move forward.

Yuan Shen said: "Theshy, are you sure? You, a top laner, run to the bottom jungle to fight a level 1 teamfight?"

Theshy started to play dumb: "No way?"

Yuan Shen was speechless: "What do you think?"

Five people walked around the corner, originally intending to look for the opponent's mid laner, but something outrageous happened.

There are five people on the opposite side too!
And they came together, as if they were going to invade.

The two sides had a close contact!
Wawa exclaimed: "What does that mean? Level 1 invasions are rare in a game. We only see one in 20 games. Did the two teams think of the same thing today?" Miller guessed: "Could it be this thieving omen that caused the trouble? They both wanted to steal something at level 1?"

Both sides reacted quickly. Tam licked over with his tongue, and the vampire simply clicked on the E skill at level 1, charged the E skill, and followed up with a basic attack to activate the Omen of Kleptomancy.

EZ is more convenient, just use the Q skill to trigger it.

On the IG side, Gangplank's Q skill was triggered, Ryze's W slowed down and his attack was triggered, Xayah's output was crazy, and suddenly Shen used his E flash to control three people!

Yuan Shen and Ornn used the E skill at level 1 and slammed into the wall. The three people were knocked away and controlled in a chain!

"Kill! Kill!" The IG players were blood-thirsty. Gangplank flashed with his fire knife to take down the opposite Taliyah's head. He used his Q skill to try to take down the opposite Prince, but was killed by Xia's A.

WE chose to focus on the Captain who had no flash, took his head, and then gave up their flash and fled.

Wawa commented: "WE gave up five flashes in this teamfight, what a loss! Xia gave up flash and attacked with a basic attack to take down Vladimir. Now it's one for three, three flashes for five flashes, IG made a lot of money!"

GuGu laughed and said, “I can only say that the new season and the new version are different. Both sides are extremely passionate. Of course, Kleptomancy should have played a big role. The players on both sides with this talent couldn’t hold back and just wanted to fight.”

On the IG side, Smlz's Xia felt comfortable and got two kills at the beginning.

However, Theshy suddenly said: "Didn't we bring Kleptomancy in the bottom lane? We lost."

Smlz was stunned: "Ah? Can my hero use Kleptomancy?"

Theshy responded: "Of course, you have skills, and you need to attack the opponent, then it can be triggered, why not bring it?"

Smlz began to doubt his life. He felt that he should not carry the team, but Theshy suggested that he carry the team. Should he listen to him or not?

At this time, Yuan Shen said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He can give Kleptomancy to anything because he is greedy. Do you know that? Next time he plays Fiora or Shen, he will give you Kleptomancy. Don't let him lead you astray."

Smlz was relieved, he thought he had made a mistake.

In fact, in the current casual games, Kleptomancy is very popular, and someone brings it to almost every game, and there are all kinds of strange heroes with Kleptomancy.

The IG team returned for supplies, the soldiers had already come out, Yuan Shen returned to the jungle and got the blue BUFF with the help of the duo, and cleared all the wild monsters in the first round.

At the same time, on the top lane, the two heroes with Kleptomancy started fighting each other crazily. It was easier for Gangplank, as his Q skill could be triggered directly, while Vampire Ding carried Gangplank's Q and walked forward, following up with his E skill and basic attack.

It doesn’t matter if the E skill misses, as long as the basic attack hits.

In the middle lane, Rookie's Ryze wanted to trigger Kleptomancy at level 1. While Taliyah was last hitting, he approached Taliyah and followed up with a W and a basic attack, and left after it was triggered.

However, Taliyah's Q skill is much longer than his W. If Taliyah activates his Q skill and chases Ryze, Ryze will definitely lose health. But for Rookie, it doesn't matter.

Wawa explained: "Really, we should capture the players' excited and expectant expressions when they trigger the Kleptomancy. Did you notice that they want to trigger the Kleptomancy even if they lose health?"

Gugu continued, "This is human greed. I feel like the designer has a good grasp of human nature this time. He knows that everyone subconsciously likes to steal things, but they just don't dare to do so normally."

Yuan Shen cleared all the way to the upper jungle area, got the red BUFF, and started to find the rhythm. Now the opposing Taliyah has no flash and is pushing the line quickly, so there is a chance in the middle lane!

"Mid lane, I'm coming over, let's do something." Yuan Shen gave the signal to the middle lane.

So Rookie continued to go back to control the minion line. Ryze now has flash, so he can flash to cooperate.

However, at this moment, Taliyah suddenly placed a ward in the bushes above the middle lane, apparently sensing the danger.

Yuan Shen chose to walk over from the position of the big bird across the wall, and now helps get closer to his own side, and can also GANK at this position.

"Ready to take action."

Rookie saw the opportunity, took advantage of Taliyah's coming up to last hit, flashed and used EW to control her, and moved to avoid Taliyah's W.

Yuan Shen's Ornn flashed over the wall, used a Q to Taliyah, waited for a moment, then used the E skill to crash over, followed by a W, Bellows, Flame Breath, and a basic attack to trigger the fragile damage. Ryze continued to come up to output, using a set of skills to deal full damage, and finally O'Neal used a basic attack to get the kill.

Miller commented: "It was a very smooth gank. The consequences of WE's previous level 1 fight came to light. If they hadn't used Flash in the level 1 fight, Taliyah would definitely not have died."

Gugu replied, "Indeed, Ryze also triggered the Kleptomancy just now. It seems that Rookie is very happy."

While Yuan Shen was ganking in the middle lane, the opposing jungler Prince arrived in the top lane.

The Captain and Vampire in the top lane were both at low health. The key was that the Captain didn't flash, and the opponent's Prince came around from behind, leaving him with nowhere to go.

The captain chose to fight back and sent a Q to the prince. The omen of theft was triggered, and suddenly, a golden item appeared in the captain's equipment bar.

Wawa shouted loudly: "Lucky bag! These are the four omens of theft for both teams in this game. The first one to steal the lucky bag is lucky."

Gugu muttered, "We're all going to die this time, are we still lucky?"

The captain was killed and the vampire took the head.

However, when the director gave a close-up of Theshy's hands, he was smiling.

"Not a loss, this wave is not a loss." Theshy said with a smile.

Yuan Shen scanned the captain's equipment bar for a day and understood: "Not bad, brother, do you know how much a head costs?"

At this time, the official live broadcast room was boiling with comments:

"This is too exaggerated. You can still laugh even if you are caught dead."

"The designer who designed the gift of stealing omens is truly a genius."

"I feel like IG is obsessed with this talent."

"It's okay, as long as Yuan Shen is not possessed by the devil."

The game continued, and when it reached seven minutes, Yuan Shen's Ornn reached level six.

At this time, the captain was also level 6. Yuan Shen gave a kill mark to the middle lane Taliyah and said:
"Go to the road, get assists."

In the commentary booth, Wawa commented: "Is Ornn coming to the middle lane again? But this time he has a big move, so I don't think it will be that easy to catch him, right?"

"Sidestring fire!"

Suddenly, the Captain used a big move to the middle lane.

Xiye was stunned: "No, what does this ultimate move mean?"

He held on to his W skill and waited for Ryze to come up and deal damage, then he used Wj.

However, a fire elemental suddenly appeared and ran over him.

"Ornn!"

Xiye knew that this was Ornn’s ultimate move.

Ornn did appear, and he rushed over from the bushes below the middle lane, and the fire element rushed over!

So Taliyah gave up her flash and caught it!

Wawa exclaimed: "Ornn's ultimate skill was at a very tricky angle. It was hard to dodge Taliyah's flash. After flashing, she was knocked away by the edge. She dealt the damage of "Stay Still". Ryze came forward to deal damage, and Taliyah was gone again!" (End of this chapter)
