Although the TES players don’t know Yuan Shen’s position, the audience knows.
The TES fans at the scene could see it and were frantically reminding:
"The rat is in your jungle!"
"The rat is coming from behind!"
"Watch out for rats, the back row is about to be robbed!"
What fans were most worried about happened. TES thought that the current formation was that the front row was in front and the back row was in the back, but in fact, compared to the rat, their back row was in the front!
Varus and Zoe were directly exposed to the rats.
Yuan Shen gave the order: "Let's start the fight!"
Baolan's Luo used his flash ultimate to go straight for Varus, but Varus was eaten by Tam.
At the same time, Karsa's Gragas used his ultimate skill, which directly blew up all the IG players. As a result, Luo was completely out of touch. Gragas rushed forward with a full stomach, and Varus was spit out to attack Luo.
Wawa explained: "Luo went in and died immediately! Topbo handled it very easily, taking down the person who came in first, but! Rat showed up!"
"Hello!" Yuan Shen's rat suddenly appeared behind Varus and started shooting crazily with his ultimate skill!
Varus reacts quickly and uses R to flash!
He chose R flash, not wanting to give the mouse any room to operate.
But it was useless. Just the action of Varus raising his hand for his ultimate was enough for Yuan Shen to react. Yuan Shen gave up the flash and retreated, continuing to shoot with his ultimate!
"Ahahahahahaha..." Rat's ultimate skill was used for crazy damage, and Zoe used her Flying Star skill. However, as soon as the person flew over, Rat used his E skill and killed him instantly!
It’s not that the output of the rat itself is so high, but Rookie’s vampire has already used E flash and ultimate to enter the field and sent a Q to Zoe. Zoe was focused by two people and was killed instantly!
Wawa exclaimed: "The Captain's ultimate slowed down everyone in Top Esports, giving Rat a very good chance to deal damage. Mundo flashed up to deal damage to Rat and activated his ultimate to deal damage at close range, but his teammates were all going to die. Gragas was gone, and the remaining Tam was also at low health. Could he, Mundo alone, kill Rat?"
"Mundo's damage output was very high, but other IG players came to help. Rat was at low health. Can he be killed? Almost. Mundo died first. This is the damage output of Rat. It's so terrifying!"
The audience was excited:
"Tao Bo! Tao Bo! Tao Bo!"
Yuan Shen commanded: "Attack the big dragon and push the middle lane."
Everyone in IG understood immediately that those with DPS should go after the Baron, and those without DPS should go to push the tower. For example, Swain has relatively low DPS and is suitable for pushing towers.
GuGu commented: "Top Esports really tried their best. I felt that their handling of teamfights was actually fine, including Varus' R flash, which I felt was very necessary. If they could control the rat, it would definitely be a great achievement. Unfortunately, he was facing Yuan Shen."
Wawa agreed, "That's right. At this distance, very few people can react to the R flash. I estimate it's in the single digits. It's a pity. Top Esports had a chance in this game, but now it's gone."
The director gave a close-up of the TES players, and everyone looked confused and had not yet recovered.
I never expected the mouse to come from behind, and doing so was very risky for the mouse. If it was discovered in advance, it would be a death wish.
Soon, the big dragon was taken down, and the IG team returned to the city for supplies and began to advance in the middle lane.
He pushed the military line all the way to the front of the second tower, which was still low on health.
TES chose to defend symbolically and gave up directly.
Wawa explained: "TES's handling is quite clever. Relatively speaking, it is easier to fight in a group on the high ground, and there is no need to worry about the rat attacking from the side. But now the question remains, who will limit the rat?"
"Zoe is also very annoying when facing the Baron buff. She has no chance to attrition the enemy. All her skills have to be used to clear the minion line, and the key is that she can't even clear them."
Miller agreed, "That's right. Now that Swain is attacking the tower, should Topbo start a teamfight? It doesn't seem good to attack him, as he's very tanky. But if he doesn't attack him, the defensive tower will be taken down."
TES really couldn't help it. Gragas walked forward to threaten and seemed ready to use his ultimate to start a team fight at any time.
However, Smlz was not threatened, as he knew that if the opponent attacked him, the teamfight would be won.
When Gragas didn't make a move, he took the initiative, using his E skill to control Gragas to the limit, and followed up with his W skill, Imperial Vision.
It doesn't matter if you can hold up the defensive tower for a while, just pull him out. He is quite tanky anyway, so you can go back and continue to attack the tower.
GuGu laughed and said, "This Swain doesn't seem to be afraid of you starting a fight. He even seems to be deliberately provoking you, as if he hopes that the other side will start a fight with him. It's very uncomfortable now, Topbo. I'm stuck and don't know how to deal with it."
TES's high ground defense tower is low on health, the next wave of soldiers enters the defense tower, and Swain continues to attack the tower.
In the end, TES gave up the high ground and chose to retreat.
As for IG, after taking the middle lane high ground, they also chose to retreat and push the bottom lane line, seemingly not planning to go all out in one go.
Wawa commented: "IG chose a more stable approach, which is rare for IG. They usually go all out when they have a chance, but there is really no need to take risks at this time."
"No! Look at what the mouse is doing? He is lying in ambush. If anyone in Topbo is left alone, it will be the end!"
TES did not stay alone this time, but instead grouped together to push the middle lane forward.
But they didn't know that there was a rat hiding on the side of the high ground!
Seeing TES push out the troops, Yuan Shen gave an order: "Counterattack! Come back!"
The IG players who were originally heading to the bottom lane immediately turned back!
Luo activated his ultimate and entered the field. Swain did not use flash in the last wave, so this time he chose to flash over the wall to the opposite high ground and meet up with Yuan Shen first.
Wawa exclaimed: "The teamfight has begun! IG took the initiative to start the teamfight! Luo came in to control the field, Gangplank used his ultimate, Q flashed three consecutive barrels, my god, Gangplank launched an explosive AOE, and Tam ate Varus in one bite."
"I just hid!" Yuan Shen the big rat revealed himself and started to attack crazily, activating his ultimate move.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"
Amid the sharp laughter of the rat, the choices of the TES people quickly declined. The key point was that a Swain was in their faces, leaving them no chance to get close to the rat.
Gugu was amazed: "Rat's damage is too explosive. Zoe was killed instantly, and Varus and Gragas were all killed instantly! The next one is Tam, and he got a quad kill! Rat has completed a quad kill, and only Mundo survived this wave of violent shooting!"
"Rat turned invisible and caught up. Although I didn't want to give him the pentakill, I had to! AAA... Finished with the E skill, a pentakill. Rat got the pentakill!"
The audience cheered: "Master Yuan! Master Yuan! Master Yuan!"
The IG team chat went viral, and Rookie congratulated them:
"Nice! Pentakill, awesome!"
Theshy was full of praise: "Great, awesome!"
Baolan said: "How come your rat is so good at finding positions? An ambush on the opposite high ground by himself is something most people wouldn't even dare to think of."
Smlz said: "I feel that even those who specialize in ADC are not that professional in this regard."
Yuan Shen responded: "One wave, let's go. Thank you for your cooperation."
IG ended the game in one go from the middle lane.
Wawa commented: "As the health of the crystal in the Top Esports base dropped to zero, IG also won the game. Congratulations to IG, they advanced to the finals."
On the field, the IG players stood up to celebrate, and then walked towards the TES players.
Yuan Shen walked in front, followed by 369. Yuan Shen found that every time 369 finished fighting with Theshy, he looked listless. It was probably because the intensity was too high and he couldn't adapt.
Then came the jungler, Karsa, who was quite polite when he saw Yuan Shen: "Master Yuan."
Next one, mid laner, left hand.
There was not much expression on his left hand, and he shook hands with Yuan Shen mechanically.
Bottom lane, A Shui and Prophet.
When A Shui shook hands with Yuan Shen, he said, "You are so good at playing marksman, it's a pity that you don't play bottom lane."
Yuan Shen smiled and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid I can't beat you guys in a laning match."
Yuan Shen's statement was naturally polite.
Unexpectedly, A Shui said: "I think we can try to attack the bottom lane." Yuan Shen found that A Shui seemed to be excited and seemed to want to confront him head-on.
Maybe this is what young people are like, very energetic.
But Yuan Shen would not go to the bottom lane just because of his few words.
Now that the games are over, I don’t know when we will meet TES next time.
After shaking hands with everyone from TES, Yuan Shen brought his teammates to the center of the stage and bowed.
The person scheduled to be interviewed today was Bao Lan, which was perfect for Yuan Shen as he could finally have a break.
After returning to the lounge, everyone packed up their things and waited for Baolan to come back. Then they left together, had a meal first, and then went back to review the situation.
The next day, another semi-final began.
IG members gathered together to watch the game.
The two teams fighting are FPX and RNG.
Although RNG was knocked to the ground by Yuan Shen's Noxus in the opening game.
But RNG performed very well afterwards and made it all the way to the semifinals.
Fu Manduo called out, "The game is about to start, everyone please watch carefully, after all, their winner will be our opponent."
Ning Wang muttered: "I feel like FPS is no match for RNG right now. Lwx has no problem beating other players, but he doesn't seem to be that good against UZI, and Crisp was also controlled by Xiao Ming."
Baolan complained: "Don't analyze it. With your understanding of the game, what can you analyze?"
Prince Ning retorted: "If you can do it, go ahead."
Fumanduo looked at the three people, Nakagawa and Ueno, and said, "What do you think? Who will win?"
Yuan Shen spoke first: "I think FPX has a slightly better chance of winning."
Rookie nodded: "I think so too."
Theshy affirmed: “Me too.”
Prince Ning laughed: "You two are deliberately trying to be like Yuan Shen."
Rookie responded: "You can be different, Ning Wang, I support you."
Ning Wang was really excited: "I'll tell you if you think RNG can win."
Players from both teams appeared on the screen. The FPX side was a bit abstract, with five players in five different forms. People who didn’t know might think that aliens were invading the earth.
On the RNG side, the director gave a close-up.
"General Hu, wow, so handsome?" King Ning shouted.
At this time, Xiaohu crossed her arms over her chest, her body straight, with a meticulous and slightly precious expression. Two completely different styles collided and merged in her.
Rookie covered his mouth and snickered: "Why is it that Xiaohu is always so effective?"
Yuan Shen commented: "This is talent, the talent of a comedian."
After both sides made a brief appearance, they came to their respective positions and the first BP began.
RNG was quite targeted and banned Ryze and Galio in the middle lane, giving no support.
However, it does not prevent Doinb from playing Kled.
RNG's lineup looks like a multi-core lineup, but the lineup is only one aspect. You will know what's going on only when the game actually starts.
At the beginning of the game, the early laning phase was pretty much as everyone expected, and FPX's bottom lane was indeed suppressed.
RNG's bottom lane play is very aggressive.
Yuan Shen commented: "The bottom lane is aggressive and the resources of both sides must be invested in the bottom lane, especially RNG, which is very sensitive in this regard."
As soon as Yuan Shen finished speaking, Xiaotian GANK the bottom lane. As soon as he started, letme TPed to the bottom lane.
So Xiaotian flashed away without getting any kills.
Theshy commented: "He exploded the lane like this, and he TPed down first when the lane was pushed. GimGoon's handling was much smarter, so he didn't come down."
Sure enough, after Letme returned to the top lane, the gap between him and GimGoon widened.
Baolan complained: "I don't think he needs to TP so quickly. He was playing Gnar, a hero that actually requires a lot of development. He ruined himself so late."
Sure enough, after this wave of TP, the top lane was constantly under pressure, and it was Gary who should have suppressed Ornn.
The two sides fought back and forth, Doinb's support ability was not fully utilized, RNG was always focusing on the bottom lane, but FPX had the opportunity to four-on-two.
Ning Wang muttered: "RNG seems to be quite good at restraining FPX's style of play. They have an advantage in the bottom lane. As long as their teammates can also support them synchronously, FPX will not be able to deal with the bottom lane."
After this analysis, Ning Wang was happy: "Hahaha, it seems that I won this time, Yuan Shen, in the end RNG will definitely beat FPX."
Yuan Shen asked back: "What is the price?"
"Price?" King Ning seemed not to understand.
"RNG did keep an eye on the bottom lane and prevented anything from happening, but this came at a price," Yuan Shen explained.
Soon the price Yuan Shen mentioned came. In the mid-game team fight, Jin Gong's Ornn was very difficult to deal with, and he could also initiate the team fight and deal considerable damage.
Letme's Gnar didn't develop well, couldn't hold on and had no output. RNG camped in the team fight, and Ornn alone was enough to make them exhausted.
With Ornn's ultimate and Kled's charge, it would be difficult for UZI to survive.
Ning Wang exclaimed: "Ah? What is RNG doing? They are completely defeated in team battles? Are you kidding me!"
Yuan Shen explained: "This is the price. The development gap between the top laners is huge, so it will be hard to beat them in teamfights. GimGoon is not a lazy guy. If you let him develop, he can really carry the team."
So in the first game, RNG was quickly defeated.
In the next three games, the two sides went back and forth, and UZI also played bravely to help RNG win two games.
The game entered the fifth and final round.
Ning Wang rubbed his hands excitedly: "FPX is not that good, hahaha, I feel RNG is going to win."
Baolan complained: "Let's talk about it after we win. If I were a fan of RNG, I would start scolding you now if you start to say bad things now."
Yuan Shen was quite calm and didn't seem worried.
The fifth game began, the battle song sounded, and the players from both sides came on stage.
Hearing the battle song, everyone in IG felt a little excited, as the chances of a BO5 going to the fifth game are slim.
As long as the game can go to the fifth game, the gap is not big and it is a very exciting game. (End of this chapter)
