Seeing this, Theshy also chose to retreat back to the city, and the duo took over.
The two sides completed the lane swap, and after switching to the top lane, Ruler continued to look for opportunities to push the tower.
The support is responsible for providing vision. For GEN, whether they can win this game depends on Tristana's tower-pushing rhythm.
Twelve minutes into the game, Yuan Shen's Taliyah came to the top lane, and Rookie's Lissandra followed after pushing a wave of soldiers in the middle lane. Together with the duo, there were now four people.
Yuan Shen chose to come over now because, judging from the time, the opponent's first round of vision had disappeared.
Yuan Shen started scanning and found that there was indeed no vision in the bushes.
However, there might be a true eye in the river, so they can't go there. Taliyah and Lissandra continue to ambush and wait for the top lane soldiers to be pushed to the defensive tower.
However, from a God's perspective, the situation is not that simple!
Guan Zeyuan commented: "GEN's jungler and mid laner have also come up. If IG's mid laner attacks rashly, it will go wrong. The troops are about to enter the defensive tower. Tristana and Thresh are moving forward together, and they seem to want to continue pushing the tower."
"Taliyah uses her ultimate! She uses her ultimate to block Tristana and Thresh's retreat. Lissandra's ice claws extend from the wall! Rakan flashes and uses his ultimate, making a grand entrance!"
Baolan's Luo suddenly rushed towards the opposite Tristana and Thresh, and Tristana was charmed!
However, Gragas's ultimate suddenly flew out from the bushes, and Luo was blown back directly. Syndra was right behind him! Q followed by the ultimate and E skill Tiannv Scattering Flowers, Luo was controlled again!
"Sindra doesn't have an ultimate." Baolan used his body to withstand the first wave of attacks. The opposing Gragas followed up with a meaty attack using his E skill, and Syndra finished with a W and got the kill.
Wawa commented: "Rakan was killed first, but! Lissandra flashed and used W to control two people, Kaisa came in to deal damage, Taliyah came over, and used W to bring Tristana and Thresh back, followed by a burst, and Tristana was killed instantly!"
"It seems like Thresh can't escape either. IG wins this time! One for two, totally acceptable!"
Miller continued: "It's mainly about stopping Tristana's fast pace. This is very critical. Tristana is in a difficult situation now."
There was no time to celebrate on IG's side, as the fight was not over yet. Suba's Taliyah was circling along the wall, so he chose to go straight back to the middle river and ambush in the bushes above the middle lane.
Syndra on the opposite side came back, but she came out from home and was very cautious.
Rookie's Lissandra also replenished and returned to the middle lane. Syndra used her skills to push the line of soldiers, a wave of soldiers pushed over, and then went upwards, obviously intending to place wards on Yuan Shen's side.
"Rookie, look at me." Yuan Shen reminded.
Rookie's Lissandra used her E skill, and Yuan Shen took decisive action with a W skill. Moreover, this W skill was not directed towards him, but towards Lissandra.
Without any preparation, Syndra was hit by the W. Lissandra followed up with a W to control her and used the Q skill. Yuan Shen came forward to output damage.
Syndra was in an awkward situation. In order to push the line quickly, she had just used her E skill to disperse the weak. Now she had no skills. Taliyah's Q had high damage, so Syndra could only use flash to dodge.
Yuan Shen waited for the skill CD to end, flashed up and used the next Q skill. The two began to move almost in sync, moving frantically but not dodging a single Q skill.
In the end, Yuan Shen's Taliyah took down Syndra.
Wawa commented: "This wave is really insidious. Crown was not prepared at all and was buried suddenly. Now Taliyah's rhythm is very good. As long as the duo can hold on, IG should be able to win this game."
In the top lane, the GEN duo was still putting pressure on the team. Seeing Taliyah was in their place, they pushed the top lane tower even harder.
When Smlz wants to clear the minion wave, the opposing Thresh will come up to put pressure on him, forcing Smlz to retreat.
SmlzAQA the minions, Thresh used his hook, Smlz used his E skill to speed up his retreat, but an embarrassing thing happened, as the hook predicted Kaisa's position!
Kaisa was controlled, Tristana came forward to deal damage, Luo made a grand appearance to force Tristana back, Kaisa turned back to take over, and Luo came back in pairs.
Wawa commented: "The pressure is huge. Facing the GEN duo's push, the IG duo is powerless. Kai'Sa's equipment is too inferior. They can't win in a head-on fight. Otherwise, they could still fight."
Fourteen minutes into the game, Gragas ganked the top lane. While Thresh's hook was hitting Rakan, Gragas used his ultimate through the wall, blew Rakan back, and followed up with a meaty attack.
Tristana followed up with output, and after dealing full damage, followed up with the ultimate. Luo didn't even have a chance to operate and was controlled to death by the opponent.
After Luo was killed, Kaisa had no choice but to give up the top lane. IG's top lane tower was still taken down, and Yuan Shen chose to take the little dragon to reduce losses.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "For IG, the most important problem now is that the middle lane tower cannot be pushed. Gragas is also very smart now. He plays around the duo and doesn't care about other lanes."
Miller continued: "In this game, Theshy played Ornn. This hero is hard to be effective when he is alone. It is impossible to rely on him to push the team and push the tower. Others need to find a way."
"Now for IG, if they want to fight in a team, there is still a problem. Kaisa's development is too poor. When Kaisa's development is so poor, Xayah can only rely on the mid and jungle in a team fight. Taliyah's output is indeed very high, but Lissandra is just a tool. Her output cannot be high. In the end, we can't rely on Taliyah alone."
The duos on both sides switched to the middle lane, and Yuan Shen's Taliyah came over to ambush in advance.
He was in the bushes at the bottom of the river in the middle lane, and there was a true eye he had placed in the bushes opposite.
"Baolan, come here." Yuan Shen chose to call Baolan over first.
Baolan's Luo approached, but did not go directly into the bushes. Instead, he looked for an opportunity behind.
Suddenly, the opposing jungler and support appeared, Thresh and Gragas came together, seemingly to get vision. The two entered the bush and found a true ward inside. They walked forward while placing wards. Thresh seemed to be preparing to place a ward in the bush on Yuan Shen's side.
Wawa commented: "Good opportunity! Is Taliyah going to take action? She did, with one W, Thresh was carried back! Luo Qingwu made a grand appearance and knocked him up, followed by the ultimate move of Charm!"
"Kai'Sa flies over, followed by Void Seeker, and Axia uses Heavy Rain. Although his output is not high, it doesn't matter. We have Taliyah. Gragas' ultimate is coming down, Kai'Sa moves to avoid it and turns back to get the kill!"
Miller exclaimed: "It's crucial. This kill is really crucial to Kaisa. It can be regarded as a life extension."
The game continued, and after the support was killed, GEN could only defend temporarily.
Yuan Shen brought the duo to the middle lane to suppress the opponent.
The middle lane soldiers pushed forward, Yuan Shen took the lead and moved forward with the soldiers.
There are only Tristana and Gragas under the tower, and Gragas has no ultimate, so he is not a threat to Yuan Shen. Tristana doesn't dare to touch the line, because it will be very dangerous if she is carried back by Yanque's W.
In this way, the soldiers entered the defensive tower, Kaisa went forward to attack the tower, and Luo Zi provided cover from the side.
Miller commented: "Is the situation turning against them now? IG took the initiative and wanted to push the middle lane tower. This is unacceptable to GEN, as they were the ones who wanted to push the tower."
At this moment, a TP was sent to the middle lane tower.
Someone is coming!
Yuan Shen took a quick glance and it was obviously the opposite Syndra, because Urgot was still in the bottom lane.
Rookie continued to clear the minion line in the top lane. There was no need for him to come over. Is there a good TP position? He couldn't just TP directly to the defensive tower. It was too dangerous.
"Let's go." Yuan Shen led the duo to retreat, but at this moment, an accident happened!
The opposite Gragas started with W and walked up, then suddenly used E followed by flash!
Miller exclaimed, "Taliyah is fired!"
Everyone's heart was in their throat because Taliyah didn't flash. If he was detained and Syndra came down, he would be dead. Taliyah was the biggest pillar of IG. His Dark Seal layers were full and the cost of death was very high.
Then something happened that no one expected. At the same time as Gragas flashed with E, Taliyah used her W skill.
This W skill is placed in front of himself, and the moment the Barrel hit him, he was carried away. Luo followed up and used W to knock him up, and Kaisa followed with output.
At the same time, Rookie's Lissandra TPed to the soldier under the defensive tower. He couldn't TP just now because it was dangerous, but now the opponent's Gragas has used up all his skills, so this TP position is no longer dangerous.
Tristana came up and wanted to attack Yuan Shen, so Yuan Shen used his Q skill to fight back against Tristana.
This Tristana couldn't handle it at all, and Taliyah's Q skill was much farther than Tristana's basic attack. Syndra TPed to the ground and gave a QRE to Rakan, mainly to cover Gragas' retreat. Both Kaisa and Rakan were controlled.
However, after Lissandra TPed to the ground, she used her E skill to move out, while using W to control Gragas and followed up with Q and ultimate. The second stage of her E skill pulled her out of the range of the defensive tower, and Yanqu followed up with output to kill Gragas.
Baolan cheered, "Nice! Master Yuan, your reaction speed is too fast. You can react now. I thought you were going to be killed instantly by the opponent's concentrated fire."
Yuan Shen explained: "It wasn't exactly a reaction. When I saw the opposing Gragas use his W, I knew he was definitely going to take action."
Smlz exclaimed: "That's still very exaggerated, most people definitely can't do it."
At this time, the opponent's Thresh was resurrected. With Syndra, GEN could at least clear the minion line and still defend the middle lane tower.
Eighteen minutes into the game, the rhythm of both sides was at a stalemate.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "The rhythm set by Taliyah in the early stage was crucial. It slowed down the rhythm of the normal game, which made it impossible for GEN to snowball quickly."
"As long as Kaisa is still developing, it will be enough for IG to keep the rhythm. Anyway, in the late game, IG's lineup is not weak."
Yuan Shen began to arrange vision near the dragon pit, bringing Baolan with him. Kaisa pushed the line in the middle lane and could fly over to support at any time with his ultimate.
At the river, Yuan Shen ran into GEN's jungler and support, and they were obviously there to gain vision.
But now the embarrassing thing for GEN is that, although they are both junglers and supports, the two of them will never be a match for IG's junglers and supports.
Taliyah used her Q skill to consume the enemy remotely, and neither Thresh nor Gragas dared to fight back.
If Thresh gives up his hook and doesn't move, he can easily be carried back by Taliyah's W.
So IG occupied the vision of the dragon pit first.
The game lasted twenty minutes, and the four IG players gathered together to fight the little dragon.
At this time, Theshy's Ornn was pushing the line in the top lane, and Lissandra came from the bottom lane. He replaced you in advance just for the little dragon, and Lissandra's TP was almost in time.
Yuan Shen took the initiative to attack the little dragon and pulled it out to fight.
Miller commented: "This is IG's third little dragon. It seems that GEN doesn't want to let go of the little dragon. They are grouping up and coming from the middle lane. How should we deal with this wave?"
Yuan Shen reminded his teammates: "The Gragas on the opposite side didn't flash but it will be ready soon. Everyone else has flash. Don't worry. Wait for me to find an opportunity."
As the little dragon's health got lower and lower, GEN pressed forward.
Theshy's Ornn went forward to put pressure on the opponent and used his Q skill to slow down the opponent's Gragas.
Seeing this, Gragas could only move away. Thresh and Urgot on the opposite side also followed. Thresh tried to use a hook and hit Ornn, but he didn't dare to go up. He was just trying it.
Urgot used his skills to test, and both sides were looking for the other's flaws.
Suddenly, Yuan Shen's Taliyah moved forward to close the distance and used W to attack.
Almost at the same time, the opponent's Urgot used his E skill and wanted to retreat, but Taliyah's W hit him at the extreme distance and lifted Urgot back!
Miller exclaimed, "It's time to start! Urgot is brought back, and Luo makes his grand entrance. Kai'Sa is dealing damage, but not at full strength, so he has some backup. Taliyah's damage is too high, and Urgot can't handle it now."
"Thresh gives the lantern, Urgot picks up the lantern and retreats, but what about the little dragon? GEN chooses to give up, Taliyah punishes and takes the little dragon, but it's not over yet, continue to chase forward, Taliyah activates his ultimate, where is he going? He chooses to go to the side, using his ultimate to move to the side of GEN to output!"
Guan Zeyuan continued, "Grandpa has flashed. Isn't Taliyah too reckless? He might be killed instantly in a teamfight. Ornn activated his ultimate. GEN is a bit confused now. Gragas seemed to be planning to attack, but Ornn's ultimate made him give up the idea."
"Ornn's ultimate is coming! Thresh is knocked away, Gragas uses his E skill to dodge, Taliyah uses his W skill again and again, and Gragas is brought back! Kaisa's ultimate is coming in, and Gragas' position is a bit out of touch. GEN wants to come over to help, but Baolan's Rakan speeds up in a flash, and GEN is about to be divided by IG's wolf pack tactics and defeated one by one!"
The IG players were orderly and attacked one after another. Gragas used his ultimate to try to blow up Kaisa. Kaisa used her E skill to speed up and dodge. When she couldn't hold on any longer, Gragas used her flash, and Kaisa used her W to search the enemy in the void to finish off the attack and got the kill!
Miller exclaimed, "Awesome! Kai'Sa takes down Gragas, and Luo enters the field and is controlled by the opponent's Thresh. They control each other, and Ornn follows. Taliyah and Kai'Sa come up to deal damage, and Thresh flashes back and returns to the middle lane."
"But Taliyah was chasing forward against the wall. He moved very fast and it seemed that Thresh might not be able to move. Taliyah was very domineering and his Q skill had a range advantage. Tristana didn't dare to confront him. Thresh turned around and used his hook, but Taliyah moved away and lifted Thresh back with a W. Thresh was going to die!"
Kaisa and Ornn controlled and output, and Thresh was also killed!
The opposing Urgot and Tristana retreated to the defensive tower, and Yuan Shen led his teammates to advance. Now the middle lane was four against two, and Tristana had to give up the middle lane tower, so GEN's middle lane tower was taken first. (End of this chapter)
