After IG took down the Baron, they started to attack the Prince, who was almost killed instantly.
At the same time, Galio and Luo, who had already entered the field, have now become lambs to be slaughtered.
Yuan Shen's Graves cooperated with his teammates to complete the harvest. The opposing big worm and EZ ran away, and this team battle could no longer be fought.
I remember the commentator saying, "This time it became a case of Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, because the jungler rushed over in a hurry when they went to gank Graves in the bottom lane, and JDG's formation was completely messed up. The front row rushed in to die, and no one could follow up with the output after the control was exerted. They definitely couldn't win the team fight, and they didn't get the Baron either. In the end, they could only lose."
Rita agreed, "That's right, Yuan Shen handled this wave perfectly. I was wondering if he was going to fight three alone, but it seemed difficult. Even though there were three tanks on the opposite side, the true damage of the big worm's ultimate was very high, and the male gun couldn't withstand it."
"I didn't expect that by using this method, I could not only avoid being caught and killed, but also help my teammates take down the Baron."
IG went back to the city for supplies, and Ning Wang cheered, "Nice! Brothers, we have it secured here, let's push forward in the middle lane!"
The others also breathed a sigh of relief. In this game, Yuan Shen would replace Rouji, and it was impossible for the others to be without pressure.
From now on, it seems that there is no big problem. Fortunately, we won. I just don’t know if the broiler chickens have arrived.
At this time in the IG lounge, Fumanduo was relieved. He chose to call Rouji, and the call was connected after a long time.
"Hello..." Rouji's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.
"How's the situation over there? What did the doctor say?" In fact, Fu Manduo already had an idea in his mind. In Rouji's current condition, it was definitely impossible for him to come to play in the game, but he still deserved some concern.
"I'm still receiving the IV drip... the doctor said... it's okay, I'll be there right away, I want to play in the game." Rouji didn't say what the doctor said, and it was obvious that the doctor definitely didn't intend to let him go, so he deliberately didn't mention it.
"Forget it, just take good care of yourself, we have ways to deal with it." Fu Manduo said.
"No...we don't have a substitute mid laner..."
"It doesn't matter. Yuan Shen is playing mid lane up there. We are about to win the first game." Fumanduo comforted.
"Master Yuan? Mid laner?" Rouji seemed in disbelief.
After all, Yuan Shen had never played mid lane before.
The game is still going on, after all, entering JDG's defense tower.
JDG is also under a lot of pressure now.
If IG can beat JDG with Yuan Shen playing in the middle lane, then wouldn't JDG have even less chance of winning if they switch to IG's full lineup?
Hard to bear.
Yuan Shen's Graves was pushing the tower in front, and his flash CD had not yet finished.
But Luo on the ground didn't flash either, Yuan Shen was not worried, and even hoped that the opponent would attack him so that he would have a chance to operate.
JDG did not act impulsively and chose to retreat to the high ground first.
The middle lane soldiers quickly entered the high ground, and Yuan Shen’s Graves was still as strong as ever, trying to take down the middle lane high ground.
The JDG players began to get restless. They could not give up the high ground casually, otherwise it would be tantamount to surrender.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "This Graves is very strong. He is now putting pressure on the opponent alone. It seems that the opponent can't do anything to him."
"On the contrary, JDG didn't want to be hurt by Graves. This Q skill of Graves is quite painful."
The big worm tried to use the Q skill to knock Yuan Shen away, but Yuan Shen easily dodged it.
“Start a wave? We can’t go on like this.” JDG couldn’t help it.
Toothpaste said: "I have a big move, you guys come in and I'll follow."
So Clid started looking for opportunities. Suddenly, he saw the opportunity when Ziggs and Braum came up to use their skills, and followed up with the ultimate move with the EQ combo!
I remember the commentator said: "The team fight started! JDG chose to start the fight first, with classic cooperation between Prince and Galio! However, Ziggs used his W skill to send himself outside of Prince's ultimate, and Braum opened his shield to block EZ's ultimate."
"Sion! Sion is in a relatively forward position, being targeted by the enemy, but he is relatively tanky. Graves quickly draws his gun and uses his ultimate to pull Galio out of his ultimate. A smoke bomb causes both Prince and Galio to lose sight!"
Then a funny scene appeared. Galio used his E skill, Justice Charge, during Prince's ultimate, but it directly hit Prince's ultimate and did not rush out.
Because he had no vision, he thought that the Prince's ultimate skill was turned off and did not notice this problem.
In this way, Prince and Galio are two targets and can only stand there and take the beating.
EZ is dealing damage to Sion, but Sion is very tanky and he is still moving, causing EZ's damage to be insufficient.
Yuan Shen's Graves can deal with Prince and Galio very quickly.
I remember the commentator saying, "The output capabilities of the back row on both sides are totally not at the same level. The Jarvan IV was killed, and then Galio. Until now, Sion is still carrying Ezreal's output. He is still moving around, and Ezreal has no way to stop him. In this case, the team fight is over, and the game is probably over too."
At this time, on the IG side, Ning Wang was frantically directing: "One wave, one wave! Brothers, one wave!"
He is very excited now. He didn't plan to win the game, but he actually won it!
Sima Laozei also cheered, "Nice! We won, just take the tower!"
The IG team rushed to the high ground, first took down the opposite middle lane high ground, and then went straight to the base crystal.
The still alive EZ can only try to use the Q skill to clear the minion line, but these minion lines are strengthened by the dragon's BUFF, and EZ has no way to deal with it.
So IG ended the game in one wave.
The commentator said: "As the crystal in JDG's base exploded, let us congratulate IG for winning the first game!
Rita continued, "This game was really not easy. IG, when the broiler player could not play, chose to let the starting jungler go to the middle lane and the substitute jungler play the jungler. The two junglers competed on the same stage, and the starting jungler performed perfectly in the middle lane, and won the game without any danger."
Guan Zeyuan agreed: "Yes, Graves is definitely the MVP in this game. His performance is beyond doubt, but I think this game is not so easy to play. First of all, IG got a big advantage in the BP in this game."
"They pretended to bomb the mid laner, induced JDG to choose Galio, and then used Graves to counter Galio. This layer of design is indeed very clever, but JDG will not fall in the same place twice."
On the competition stage, all IG members returned to the lounge together.
Fu Manduo came forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. We won this game beautifully!"
Ning Wang laughed: "How's my Mantis? Isn't it handsome? Our mid and jungle two-on-two beat the enemy badly."
Baolan complained: "It's a two-on-two situation between the mid and jungle. It's Yuan Shen. He beat the opponent's mid laner first, and you just took advantage of it."
At this moment, Theshy asked: "How is Lao Song doing?"
The IG group who were originally laughing and joking immediately calmed down.
This is a problem! It is impossible to let Yuan Shen play in the middle all the time. Fu Manduo shook his head: "I guess he can't come, not even today."
Hearing this, everyone else was a little worried, but King Ning seemed quite relieved: "It's okay, we have Yuan Shen here, it's okay, Yuan Shen, right, you continue to play in the middle in the next game, and I will assist you."
Yuan Shen was not so optimistic. He said, "We played a little trick in the BP last game. They will definitely prevent this problem from happening next game. Plus, we are on the blue side, so it will be hard to hide tricks next game. So it won't be so easy to win."
Fu Manduo nodded and began to think about how to design a winning strategy.
If we use a normal lineup, it will be difficult to win.
After all, Yuan Shen probably doesn’t know how to play those heroes and has never played them.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Fu Manduo couldn't think of any. It was too sudden and he was actually not prepared.
Yuan Shen responded: "My idea is to deal with them as they come. We don't know what lineup they will choose now."
At this time in the JDG lounge, everyone in JDG was also discussing tactics.
Toothpaste was filled with regret: "Ah, I made a huge mistake in the last game. Really, I shouldn't have chosen Galio. This hero has no chance against a physical shooter like Graves. He can only take the beating unilaterally. If I hadn't chosen this hero, we would have definitely won the last game."
Clid responded: "I feel that your mid lane matchup is quite difficult, and the opposing Graves can also come to my jungle to harass me, wasting several of your ultimates, causing you to have no rhythm at all in the front."
Toothpaste responded repeatedly: "Yes, that's the problem. The speed of the male gun clearing the minion line is very fast, and the speed of clearing the jungle is also very fast. When he plays like this, our mid and jungle are very uncomfortable. If I choose a stronger laning opponent, this result will definitely not be the case."
Zoom said, "So, in the next game, we should ban Graves and pick a stronger mid laner?"
Toothpaste nodded: "This is feasible. Although I have never seen Yuan Shen play in the mid lane before, judging from his performance in the last game, his mid lane play style is very similar to that of the jungler. Laning is not his focus. He wants to counter jungle, roam, and gank."
"Then in order to limit him, I must have a stronger hero. Otherwise, how can I limit him if I can't even beat him in the laning phase?"
Everyone in JDG thought it made sense and nodded.
Clid said, "Then I'll help you in the middle lane."
Toothpaste denied it, "I feel like it will be difficult for you to catch him, because he's a jungler, the best jungler in the world, he must know the basic jungle routes, as well as the timing of GANKs, etc."
Clid thought it made sense. If someone knows how to catch someone, he must also know how to avoid being caught.
Therefore, it should be very difficult to capture and kill Yuan Shen.
Toothpaste continued, "This is our strategy. I will suppress him in the middle lane, and the jungler will help other lanes. You will have no problem dealing with Ning Wang, right?"
Clid was full of confidence: "Of course there is no problem. Their jungler, to put it bluntly, is a clinger. If his teammates are not strong in the laning phase, he can't do anything."
So JDG's strategy was decided.
After a short break, players from both teams appeared on the court again.
The fans on IG at the scene were all shouting:
"IG! IG! IG!"'
Now everyone knows that IG is in trouble and needs support, so they are working very hard.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "From the current perspective, IG is still maintaining the lineup from the previous game. It seems that Rouji player will not be able to come back in a short time. I think it is very likely that he will not have time to participate in this BO5. We can only watch Yuan Shen's performance."
Rita continued: "Luckily, IG has Yuan Shen. Really, if this situation happened to other teams, there would be no way to solve it. I really can't imagine other teams' junglers going to the middle lane. But then again, JDG came back to their senses in this game, and IG is not so easy to beat."
After the players from both sides were in place, the second round of BP began.
In this game, IG is on the blue side and JDG is on the red side.
BAN hero stage:
IG: Varus, Policewoman, EZ
JDG: Gangplank, Fiora, and Graves.
I remember the commentator said: "IG chose to continue to target the bottom lane in this game. It was quite unexpected. I thought they would limit Toothpaste's performance. It seems that they really trust Yuan Shen."
Guan Zeyuan agreed, "That's right. Could it be that Yuan Shen has other strategies? JDG continues to target the top lane. It feels like there's nothing else to target them. After all, we don't know what else Yuan Shen can do to play the mid lane."
Entering the hero selection stage, IG locked Zac on the first floor.
It was JDG's turn, and JDG took Prince and Shen at the first floor and second tower.
Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "This Shen could be a top laner or a support. Shen performs quite well in both positions. Of course, he is a tool man. Whether he can win in the end depends on his teammates."
It was IG's turn. IG locked onto Tristana and Braum on the second and third floors.
JDG got the big mouth on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.
JDG also banned Gnar and Sion.
IG bans Snake and Zoe
Remember to laugh: "Is Sion going to be banned now? I have to say Theshy did put a lot of pressure on Zoom, even to the point of banning Sion. In the last game, Theshy's Sion gave enough pressure. Others' Sions might be mixed, tanky, but his Sion can kill the opponent's C position alone."
"This time, IG finally banned two heroes who are very strong in the laning phase, Zoe and Cassiopeia, both of whom can kill in the laning phase. It seems that IG's mid lane will not be very strong in this game."
It was IG's turn. IG locked down Sejuani and Shen on the fourth and fifth floors.
When these two heroes were chosen, the audience and commentators were all confused.
I just saw Ji De muttering, "Will Shen go to the middle lane? I don't think it's necessary. This hero can be easily kited by the opponent if he goes to the middle lane. After all, the middle lane soldier line is so short that Shen can't show his strength."
"If it's not Shen, then between Sejuani and Zac, who will go mid lane?"
JDG got the Tsar on the fifth floor!
Rita analyzed: "The hero Tsar is indeed a good choice. He has strong suppression power in the laning phase and can be the carry in teamfights. With Tsar and Kog'Maw as double Cs, JDG's lineup is very solid. If they can develop peacefully to the late game, teamfights will be easy to win."
Both sides began to adjust their line-up. When the time came to the last twenty seconds, the lineup was determined:
Blue side IG: top laner Shen, jungler Zhu Mei, mid laner Zac, ADC Tristana, support Braum
JDG on the red side: top laner Shen, jungler Prince, mid laner Tsar, ADC Kog'Maw, support Tam
Guan Zeyuan was very surprised: "It turned out to be Zac in the mid lane? I didn't expect that. I think Sejuani and Shen are better than Zac in the mid lane. I guess Yuan Shen has his own plan. Let's wait and see." (End of this chapter)
