The IG and GEN members stood face to face in the middle of the stage, extended their hands, and shook hands.

Yuan Shen faced off against GEN jungler, Haru.

This guy is nominally Ambition's substitute, but in fact he is now GEN's starting lineup, and he is mainly responsible for Dabai.

After all, Ambition is married and wants to retire to enjoy life. Now he is just training new people.

After the two players shook hands, they turned and walked towards their respective positions.

Yuan Shen came to his seat and put on headphones.

Everything is ready, the game begins!

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

BAN position situation:
IG: Galio, Lissandra, Xayah
GEN: Sword Demon, Irelia, Shen

Colonel Guan analyzed: "Most teams don't dare to use IG's warrior heroes now, mainly because they are too strong. Aatrox, Irelia, and Shen, as long as IG gets these three heroes, it feels like this game is different."

Wawa agreed: "That's true. IG's individual abilities are very strong, and it's really hard to deal with heroes with a lot of room to maneuver and a high ceiling."

Enter the hero selection phase.

GEN on the blue side got Urgot on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "From the situation in the play-in matches, Urgot is very strong in the current version. GEN's choice of Urgot is fine."

"I'm actually curious about what hero IG will use to counter Urgot. In the previous play-in matches, most teams chose Aatrox to counter Urgot, and they could compete with him in both laning and teamfights. But now there is no Aatrox to choose from."

IG got Ornn and Kaisa on the first and second floors.

Colonel Guan analyzed: "This is a team choice. Ornn and Kai'Sa are a good combination. If we can drag it to the late game, these two heroes will have a very strong teamwork in team battles, and Kai'Sa can also upgrade an equipment."

Miller agreed: "Yes, this lineup is aimed at the late stage. Of course, IG is a team that can often make some late-stage lineups work in the early and mid-terms, which is actually a kind of ability."

GEN locked onto Tristana and Thresh on the second and third floors.

Wawa commented: "In this game, GEN used Tristana and Thresh in the bottom lane to deal with Kai'Sa. It felt like they were trying to push the enemy quickly. If they could quickly push down IG's bottom lane tower, it would greatly compress Kai'Sa's development time."

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

IG also banned Xin Zhao and Olaf.

GEN also banned Nightmare and Lee Sin.

IG locked down Lissandra on the fourth floor.

GEN got Syndra and Gragas on the fourth and fifth floors.

Colonel Guan commented: "Now only IG's fifth floor has not been determined. Which jungler should be used in this game? It seems that too many junglers have been banned. Taliyah? This seems to be an option. IG got Taliyah on the fifth floor!"

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

Red side IG: Ornn on top, Taliyah on jungle, Lissandra on mid, Kaisa on ADC, Rakan on support
Blue side GEN: top laner Urgot, jungler Gragas, mid laner Syndra, ADC Tristana, support Thresh

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen began to set the pace: "The pace of this game can be faster, Rouji, look at my signal, we should do more things in the early stage."

The broiler replied, “No problem.”

Yuan Shen continued, "Then it's the bottom lane. The opponent's bottom lane will definitely want to push quickly. Pay attention to the health of the defense tower."

Baolan responded: "No problem, but I feel that the opponent's jungler will definitely pay special attention to our bottom lane."

Yuan Shen responded: "It's okay, I will help the bottom lane depending on the situation."

The first wave of soldiers came out. Yuan Shen got the blue buff with the help of the duo. All the wild monsters in the first round were cleared. The front flag must be mainly used for clearing the wild monsters for development unless there is a good opportunity.

In the top lane, the two top laners started to fight as soon as they met. Cuvve seemed to be quite careful and was always looking for Theshy's flaws, but Thesshy's positioning was very confusing. Cuvve seemed to be dizzy and used his skills crookedly.

In the middle lane, Lissandra is at a disadvantage against Syndra. Lissandra has only one way to fight against Syndra, which is to quickly push the line of troops and use the line of troops to put pressure on the opponent. It is definitely not easy to fight against her.

In the bottom lane, GEN's bottom lane started pushing the line at level 1, and continued to push the line after reaching level 2. The IG bottom lane duo moved forward in advance to avoid being suddenly hit by flash.

Three minutes into the game, Yuan Shen was in the upper jungle area. He gave a signal to the top laner: "Top lane, wait for me."

The top lane is very lively now. Both top laners on both sides are refusing to give in to each other and are operating at full capacity. Both of them are now at half health.

However, when Yuan Shen was walking towards the river from the triangle grass, a Gragas appeared on the opposite side. It seemed that Gragas also didn't want to GANK, and the two met.

Yuan Shen chose to go straight ahead without wasting time, but he was not leaving. He was changing direction and walking towards the bushes on the upper road.

At this time, the top lane troops were in the middle position, and Yuan Shen just walked in without the opponent knowing.

Wawa explained: "Yuan Shen seemed to want to gank the top lane, but was discovered by the opponent. He changed the angle and continued. At the moment, it seems that there is a chance. Wait... What is the opposite Gragas doing? He actually came back!"

"It seems that Gragas is also thinking of pretending to leave and then coming back immediately. I guess he thinks that Taliyah didn't place a ward, so it's okay for him to come back and do it again, and it can catch the opponent by surprise. After all, most of the time, people think that the opponent's jungler will not come back in this situation."

Just when Gragas was about to attack, IG took it first!
Ornn used his Q skill to slow down Urgot, and Urgot chose to dodge to the side.

However, at the moment he moved, suddenly, Taliyah's W skill appeared and lifted him back directly!

Ornn followed up with his E skill and crashed into the enemy, knocking him up, and then followed up with his damage. Ornn used Bellows of Fire and Breath, and took the kill with a basic attack.

At this time, Gragas had already come over from the river, but found it was too late, so he had to give up Urgot.

Wawa commented: "Nice! A very perfect teamwork. Cuvve couldn't react in time and didn't use his flash immediately."

Miller continued, "I guess he didn't pay attention to these things at the first time. His attention might be on Ornn. He was thinking about how to start a team fight and cooperate with Gragas to kill Ornn."

Yuan Shen chose to help push a wave of soldiers and then return to the city for supplies.

Just then, bad news came from the bottom lane. Baolan's Luo was killed!
The opponent's Ruler's Tristana got the kill.

"Thresh doesn't have flash, and I don't have flash either." Baolan reminded.

It’s not surprising that the bottom lane couldn’t beat the opponent’s Yuan Shen. The combination of Ruler and CoreJJ is quite strong.

In addition, the bottom lane combination chosen by Smlz and Baolan had poor laning ability, making it even more difficult to win.

"You guys focus on developing first. Don't fight yet while I'm going to the bottom lane." Yuan Shen soothed.

In the middle lane, the pressure on Rouji is not as great as imagined, and his health is slightly suppressed.

Yuan Shen was not surprised, thinking that Rouji's strength was obvious. The Crown on the opposite side was not a mid laner who was good at laning. He probably chose Syndra because the pressure on him in the laning phase was too great.

If Rouji gets Syndra, he will be in trouble. The game time reaches six minutes, and the single lanes of both sides have gradually reached level six.

Yuan Shen walked towards the middle lane, intending to cooperate with the middle lane. As long as Lissandra could provide control, Syndra could be killed instantly.

However, while Yuan Shen was still on the road, Syndra began to provide vision. She probably sensed the danger and stood relatively far back.

At this distance, even if Lissandra flashes and uses her ultimate, she won’t be able to reach him.

Yuan Shen was not in a hurry to go to the top lane and continued to clear the jungle.

"The opponent is about to cross the tower!" Suddenly, bad news came from the bottom lane.

Yuan Shen looked and saw that the opponent's Gragas had already circled behind him and sent troops into the defensive tower.

Kaisa and Luo are both at half health.

The opponent chose to attack Kaisa directly. After getting close, Gragas used his E skill, and Thresh followed up with a hook. There was no room for maneuver, and Kaisa was completely controlled to death.

Luo knocked the Barrel away, and it seemed that he could be replaced, but the Barrel picked up the lantern and retreated in one go, and he did not die.

Wawa commented: "I have to say that the cooperation between GEN's jungler and support is really good. IG didn't have any chance to resist when Ou crossed the tower and was easily taken away."

Miller continued: "IG is at a big disadvantage in the bottom lane right now. Ruler's Tristana got two kills."

"Ruler is a very strong player. Although GEN is ranked third in LCK, I think their bottom lane can maintain the second place and fight for the first place."

The game continued. Yuan Shen went to the upper jungle area of ​​the opposite side to counter a wave of wild monsters, and then gave a signal to the top lane, indicating that he was going over.

"There is vision in the river." Theshy reminded.

Yuan Shen responded: "I know, he doesn't have time to retreat, use your ultimate skill and flash."

It is not necessary for Yuan Shen to kill the enemy. It is also good to flash past the enemy when passing by.

So Yuan Shen approached the top lane. On the top lane, Ornn used his Q skill to slow down Urgot, and then directly activated his ultimate!
Miller commented: "Here we go! Yuan Shen ganks the top lane, but the opponent's Urgot has flash now, and it seems that it will not be so easy to kill him."

"The Taliyah is already in sight in the river, and Urgot chooses to flash to avoid Ornn's ultimate. That's fine, Urgot won't die this time, and his health is maintained so he can continue to fight. This flash is quite decisive."

The game continued, and Yuan Shen returned to the upper jungle area to receive an infusion and reach level six.

So at seven and a half minutes, Yuan Shen came to the top lane again, and this time it was easier.

"Get ready to take action in the top lane." Yuan Shen gave me the top lane signal. Yuan Shen's Taliyah reached the river and used his ultimate to block the road.

"Again?" Cuvve felt a headache. This Rock Bird had come three times.

This time it was not easy to move, as his retreat was blocked. Ornn used his Q skill to slow him down and ran head-on. Urgot used his E skill and moved to the side, avoiding Ornn's headbutt.

However, Taliyah used his ultimate to fly over, followed up with his E skill after landing, and activated his Q skill to output crazy damage. Urgot started to move. He didn't want to be hit by Taliyah's W skill, but Taliyah didn't let go at all and just killed Urgot with his Q skill.

Colonel Guan commented: "Yuan Shen's GANK success rate is very high now. He successfully killed two of the three GANKs, one of which was by using Flash. This Urgot has become the target."

"From the lineup point of view, Urgot is indeed a hero that is easy to be caught and killed by the opponent. Although he looks like a long-range hero, his attack range is indeed very short. In addition, he is laning against Ornn, who has enough control skills and is easy to cooperate with the jungler."

After Yuan Shen completed the GANK in the top lane, he directly gave a signal to the blue BUFF in the upper jungle area of ​​the opponent.

The opponent's blue buff is about to refresh, and this blue will definitely not be given to the opponent.

The mid lane also responded, quickly advancing the troops, ready to come over and join in the fun.

On the GEN side, jungler Haru had already realized this problem. Just as he was about to go to the blue buff, he found that the top and jungle on the IG side seemed to be walking towards his upper jungle area.

It's not that his awareness is so good, but Yuan Shen's means of counter-jungle are well-known in the circle. Everyone knows that he likes to counter-jungle and will cause trouble by counter-jungle whenever he has the chance.

"Mid lane, I'll go to the bottom lane with you." Haru chose to do the opposite. He would definitely not be able to beat three people alone now, so he might as well give up and try the bottom lane.

In the upper jungle area, Yuan Shen is killing the blue buff. This blue buff can be given to Lissandra, as long as the opponent doesn't take it.

The opponent's jungler hasn't come over yet, and Yuan Shen realized that the opponent might have given up.

This is a professional game. Once the BUFF is refreshed, it is impossible for the jungler not to come over unless he is doing other things, such as GANK.

"Go to the bottom lane, be careful of the mid and jungle." Yuan Shen gave the signal to the bottom lane.

Baolan retreated, went around the triangle grass to wipe the eye, and sure enough, the opposite side's Gragas and Syndra arrived.

On the top lane, Cuvee's Urgot didn't dare to move forward in front of the second tower, as he knew there was a chance he would be surrounded by three people.

Wawa commented: "There is a very uncomfortable lane on the top now, and we can't develop. IG's bottom lane has pushed to the front of the second tower. Tristana is pushing the tower so fast, which is acceptable for GEN."

Miller agreed: "Yes, for GEN's lineup, Tristana's tower pushing is crucial. If the tower pushing rhythm can be accelerated, and they can use this to snowball, they have a good chance of winning."

Yuan Shen returned to the city for supplies. GEN calculated the time and felt that it was about time, so the mid and jungle retreated.

But now the health of IG's bottom lane tower is very low.

Nine and a half minutes into the game, Gragas came to the bottom lane again, covering the bottom lane and taking down a tower.

On the IG side, Baolan reminded: "The opposing duo has switched lanes, be careful, Tristana is very fat, I think his first big item is about to come out."

Smlz scratched his head: "We didn't handle the bottom lane well this time, sorry."

Yuan Shen smiled: "Your team is good at tackling pressure in the laning phase. It's normal that you can't win. In addition, the opponent is Tristana, and the tower is pushed very quickly. It's already very good that you can hold on for ten minutes."

"Be careful in the top lane, the opponent may switch lanes to the top lane. It's hard for them to push the middle lane, so they will probably start from the side lane."

Theshy's Ornn in the top lane is continuing to develop, but his position is relatively far back.

It is still uncertain whether the opposing duo will come to the top lane, so he is not in a hurry to leave.

From a bird's eye view, several of the opposing Tristana and Thresh were lying in ambush in the bushes on the top lane, waiting for Ornn to fall for them.

Urgot last hits normally and seems to have no problems.

The IG fans at the scene were nervous, while the GEN fans were excited.

GEN now has such a huge advantage in the bottom lane. If they continue to get kills and push towers, what will happen?

However, Theshy seemed to know that there was someone there, so he was not in a hurry to go up, kept his distance, and did not give the opponent any chance.

Ruler and CoreJJ couldn't help it and came out of the bush to push the line, while Urgot returned to the city to defend the bottom lane.

Wawa commented: "So steady, is this still Theshy? He really didn't give the opponent any chances this time, and the opponent wasted a lot of time." (End of this chapter)
