LOL: This man is too strong!

Chapter 225 The showy thing is here again!

Five o'clock in the evening.

WE played against AHQ, and the game lasted 34 minutes and 42 seconds.

大舅子的霞发挥一般，全场打出0/2/6的数据，但WE的双C守恒定律依然奏效，兮夜用辛德拉拿到8/2/1的豪华战绩。

The Red Pegasus in the LMS division failed a wave of team battles on the bottom highland group, which led to a wave of defeat for them who were not too far behind economically.

In the end, the head ratio was fixed at 10-8, and WE scored the third point for LPL.

At six o'clock, EDG played against M17.

3Z chose Rambo, his top laner, just like in the training match, and EDG directly merged with the Ueno and took out the Desert Spider.

Although Taizan's excavator invaded the factory manager's wild area in the early stage and interfered with the spider's rhythm, 3Z did not disappoint everyone. At 4 minutes and 16 seconds, the level 4 factory manager walked around the red square wild area and came from behind the triangle grass to grab it.

The spider + crocodile nailed Rambo in place, and 3Z couldn't resist at all, and was killed by Audi on the spot.

The LPL audience is very excited. According to common sense, the next step should be to fill up the Rambo package for 3Z, and the desert spider can kill it infinitely.

However, something went wrong down the road.

The Shadow Island combination of Dreamer+Dee seized the opportunity. After Thresh hooked Luo, Calista inserted spears continuously, and finally killed Meiko who had fled into the defense tower.

The Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall, which had been quiet for a long time, finally burst into cheers.

In the next few minutes, the heads of the two sides continued to interact, fighting back and forth.

At 16 minutes and 45 seconds, the head ratio was 6-4, and EDG led by two heads on the blue side.

However, in the backstage of LPL, everyone was not too happy.

"It's a little bad."

Brother Feng squeezed his chin: "The Canyon Pioneer was defended by M17 just now, and the key rhythm on the factory manager's side was not played out."

"This game is going to be delayed to the middle and late stages."

Abu frowned slightly: "The opposite is an airplane, and the AOE damage that the team battle can provide in the middle and late stages is much more stable than that of the enchantress."

"Primary school brother, you must seize the opportunity."

"..."

On the big screen in the background, in the early 20 minutes, EDG launched another attack.

Scout's enchantress stepped out of the river and attacked the plane in the middle.

It's a pity that Apex responded quickly, and a W broke free from the enchantress' chain.

The passive damage after 1.5 seconds, Yao Ji didn't hit it, which led to insufficient output, and the plane escaped with residual blood.

Everyone felt a pity, because this was another key rhythm.

The game lasted until 42 minutes and 25 seconds, and Dee had already made the Liushen costume one step ahead of Zet.

Mercury machete, bloody hand, rundown, green fork, resurrection armor, attack speed shoes.

The set of skateboard shoes is simply unbeatable.

The team battle AOE that the Apex aircraft can provide is not at the same level as the Enchantress.

M17 won the last wave of team battles on the high ground and flattened EDG's crystal.

In an instant, even in the background, everyone in the LPL could hear the cheers of the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall.

M17 became the hero of the LMS division, releasing the frogs who had been suppressed for a long time.

Seeing that several teams in the LPL have been winning all the time, the group of people present were very uncomfortable.

Apex and Dee were celebrating, and the director gave them the shot.

Looking at the excitement of the frogs, those who didn't know thought they had won the championship.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the last game of the first day of the intercontinental competition.

FW played against SKT.

In the contest between the No. 14 seeds of the two sides, SKT defeated Flash Wolves with a 4-25 head ratio. The entire game lasted only 35 minutes and [-] seconds.

In addition to supporting Wolf, SKT scored kills in a very balanced manner, and everyone played impeccably.

After all the games on the first day were played, the LPL won 3 games, the LCK 2 games, and the LMS only 1 game.

The LPL audience is quite excited.

You know, on the first day of the intercontinental competition, the strongest Snake team in the LPL has not even emerged yet.

For the disgusting performance of the audience at the opening ceremony and the game, this record is tantamount to a slap in the face.

When they returned to the hotel, the mood of everyone in LPL was quite high.

For the current record, Li Hao is not surprised at all.

In his memory, WE, RNG, and EDG were originally seeded No. [-], [-], and [-]. Now, because of Snake's existence, their seed rankings have been pushed down by one level.

Then, the opponents in other divisions faced in the group stage are relatively weaker.

Isn't it common for middle-level horses to beat lower-level horses and have a higher winning rate?

That night, everyone gathered for a while, and soon rested.

On the morning of July 7, after breakfast, everyone had another meeting together.

After a day's matches, he knew more about the teams in the other two divisions.

A group of old silver coins are together, of course we have to discuss it in depth.

"Li Hao, work harder today."

The factory manager spread his hands and said, "I don't want to play in the semi-finals at all."

"Yes."

"If there are any hidden tactics, don't hide them now, take them out and teach them a lesson!" Both the dog and the tiger booed aside.

Li Hao smiled coldly, "Don't worry."

"You can do as much as you want today."

"Also, I'm really looking forward to playing Maple."

Flandre chuckled, "Mabao, I've been educated by Brother Hao many times, so I should be more honest this time."

"Flash Wolves are Kaohsiung Exhibition Center's best hope."

"This time, we will try to make them unhappy, and kill this wolf!"

"..."

Speaking of cheering up, everyone boarded the bus around 12:[-].

Arriving at the venue in advance is mainly to cope with the fist activities.

However, at the lucky fan meeting, many of the local Wanwan fans went to the LCK and LMS.

The LPL side is really not very popular.

Compared with some Wanwan commentators, the attitude of the fans here is really surprising, at least the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center is like this.

After the first day of the competition, instead of alleviating this situation, it seemed to hurt the sad self-esteem of the frogs, making this group of people even more extreme.

This can be seen from some slogans seen when entering the venue.

The coaches are all comforting, indicating that they do not need to be affected by these factors.

"Don't worry, these disturbances will only inspire our fighting spirit."

"That's right!"

"Tell them with your fists on the field that it's useless to engage in these vain things!"

"..."

Few people participated in the activities of the LPL, and the few people who came to take a group photo were basically students from the mainland of China who went to study in Wanwan Province.

"Brother Hao, I'm your fan!"

"I like you so much~"

This is a young girl carrying a small fan bag.

Beside her, there are two young boys in short sleeves.

It is not easy to meet fans in Wanwan Province, autographs and group photos, etc., basically satisfy those who can be satisfied.

According to the youth, LPL actually has some fans here.

At least students from the mainland of the motherland will basically support it.

However, on-site tickets to the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center are hard to get.

It has already been bought by some people.

When this topic was mentioned, that girl also rolled her eyes.

For some groups, they don't like it either.

After all, it is difficult for normal people to like people with big holes in their brains.

There is not much entertainment, and the LPL players are happy and quiet.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time.

In the first game, M17 played against Mvp.

Originally, the head ratio of the two sides was 4-4, and the fight was very anxious.

However, M17 didn't know what went wrong. There were continuous unreasonable scheduling on the field, and then the second tower in the upper and lower lanes was taken away by Mvp, and Dalong was also lost.

After 1 minute of incomparable darkness, M17 fell into a huge disadvantage and finally lost the game.

At 3 o'clock, WE played against KT.

This KT team is the second Galaxy Battleship in the LCK this season.

Giving up the beach in Miami, giving up the noble status of being the emperor on the road in North America, and returning to his hometown to play Huni in his hometown e-sports.

Score, the veteran jungler, and General Pawn in the middle.

The bottom lane is Mr. Dai and Mata.

On paper, KT looks really good.

In this year's LCK spring regular season, KT played very well, and the games with SKT were mutually exclusive.

KT gained the early advantage, and Deft has been playing steadily.

However, at 23 minutes, Deft controlled the skateboard shoes to jump forward, and WE seized the opportunity in a wave of aggressive advance. Condi's excavator flashed and hit the sky.

KT was defeated in the team battle. If it wasn't for Condi being replaced by General Pawn and Score fleeing, there is a high probability that KT will lose Baron in this wave.

WE breathed a sigh of relief, and the two sides played until the 45th minute.

KT used the attributes of the double earth dragon to quickly rush the dragon, and defeated WE in the subsequent wave of team battles.

LCK has regained another victory.

……

Closer to 4 o'clock, when the camera returned to the LPL studio.

Wang Duoduo, Sun Yalong, and Shen Chao, the three commentators have introduced the topic into the next duel.

"Friends in the audience, our No. [-] seed will play in the next match."

"Yes, Snake vs. FW!"

"This game is very important. At present, both LPL and LCK have won 3 games, and there are still [-] games left to play. If we win this game, we can skip the semi-finals as long as we prove that we have won a game against LCK. , that would be a huge advantage.”

Sun Yalong looked at the bullet screen and found a very sensitive topic. He said directly:

"We've seen what everyone posted, and we're all at the scene, so we know the situation here very well, but Snake will be on stage soon, so let's not talk about these unpleasant things."

"Come on Snake, cheer on LPL!"

"I don't have poisonous milk or anything, I just think that LPL can win the Asian championship! Believe in our team, these pressures will not crush them!"

Shenchao also helped out: "That's right, the LPL teams are in very good shape this time, playing the momentum that our competition area should have!"

Wang Duoduo on the right raised his eyes: "We also saw the match between Lightning Wolves and SKT yesterday. FW has recently insisted on playing the mid-field system, and Mabao has been established as the core point of the team."

"This tactic can still work in the LMS division, but including their fight against SKT yesterday, if they continue to use this tactic against Snake today, when Mabao meets two top mid laners like Li, Haven't proven myself yet."

"..."

Wang Duoduo was going to continue his analysis, but the sound from the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall had already penetrated the sound insulation panel and reached the studio.

The players of Flash Wolves are on stage!

There was a lot of frogs in the venue, and many people even stood up to cheer for Flash Wolves.

When the members of the Lightning Wolves walked out of the player tunnel, they also waved towards the scene with great momentum.

The former FW topped Steak, that is, steak.

After retiring, after a lapse of one year, he has now become the coach of FW.

Under the hair that exploded into the air, Steak has a more serious expression.

He knew very well in his heart that this was definitely a tough battle!
Glancing towards Snake, the players of Team Snake were already sitting on the bench.

The same treatment as the previous LPL teams, the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall was silent, and the polite applause could not be heard.

However, Steak is quite enlightened, and this home court advantage may not have much impact on the Snakes.

Moreover, the Lightning Wolves players are under a lot of pressure. Once they are defeated, it is conceivable what they will be sprayed with after the game.

"Mommy."

Steak walked up behind Mabao, patted him on the shoulder, gave a symbolic sigh, and didn't say any follow-up words. Mabao turned around, and the two met their eyes, and they had already understood each other's meaning.

[Be careful with goji berries].

This meaning, even other people in FW got it.

"In this round, we are on the blue side, and the mid-lane hero should be placed behind as much as possible."

"Playing SKT is a lesson, we have to change our tactics appropriately."

"It's okay, I just hope that the hero can hold it more comfortably."

Betty muttered, the hero he took in the last game actually had a lot of opinions.

Han Bing, the hero, only played once in the summer split. In his entire hero pool, Han Bing didn't even rank in the top five.

As the current AD player with the highest KDA in the LMS division, Betty certainly doesn't want to be the point of being sacrificed.

Moreover, when Mabao took out the enchantress in the last round, he felt very reluctant, and in the end he only played a 0/3/2 hip-pull record.

Steak had communicated with Betty in private, so of course he understood what he meant, and immediately said there was no problem.

……

"Okay, BP has officially started."

"FW defeats Galio on the first floor. This is a strong hero in the version. If they defeat it on the blue side, it means they don't want to take it."

"Snake defeated Zac on the first floor, and Zac's BP rate in version 7.12 is still 100%."

"The second floor of FW took down Zyra."

Shenchao said: "Zyra is relatively restrained against hard support such as Tam and Bron. Liu Qingsong's Zyra is still used very frequently in Team Snake, and FW is a good defense."

"Snake knocked out the policewoman on the second floor, ban people normally."

"FW get rid of the spider on the third floor?"

"That's weird, Flash Wolves knocked out a champion that Karsa could grab?"

"Then the current selection is not so easy to predict."

On the big screen, Snake's last ban was given to Xia.

Sun Yalong immediately reacted: "Take Xia, there is a high probability that we will take Verus and Hanbing. Xia has a big move, Hanbing and Verus are not easy to play, and these two AD heroes are both crystals. Brother is very good at it."

On the Snake bench, Chris paced back and forth.

"The Flash Wolves want to grab the excavator. Karsa has a lot of excavator competition records recently."

"We are throwing the question to them now, should we take Verus or take the excavator? Betty's ice is really mediocre, I hope he will continue to choose the top iron. In the last game against SKT, his magic crystal arrow It's been buckled on the body, a rhythm hero doesn't know how to activate the rhythm, I almost thought his R button was broken."

During the countdown of FW, Chris talked eloquently.

Cuihua asked: "If they don't choose, let's take it together, shall we?"

"Of course, it's bullshit not to take advantage of the advantage." Flandre turned and said, "By the way, Betty still has a small gun."

Brother Crystal chuckled: "See if he dares to choose."

"Excavator, didn't grab Verus."

Liu Qingsong looked at the BP interface and said.

"Let's take it."

"Row."

Chris said again: "Choose a wine barrel and shake it, Cuihua, there is a high probability that you will use it to play wild."

"no problem."

On the second floor of the first floor of Snake, locked the Veluska wine barrel.

Lightning Wolves considered for a while, and chose Thresh and Calista on the second and third floors.

"On the third floor of Snake, the fan mom was elected."

"Liu Qingsong has used Luo quite a few times in his recent Rank, but he still didn't choose this one."

"Actually, it's normal. The style of the Snake team is still the same. They prefer soft assistants."

"If Flandre and TheKing take two more heroes with strong early game capabilities, then Snake's standard style of play may not be suitable for you in the mid-to-late game."

"Snake took the crocodile off with the fourth hand."

"The Lightning Wolves took precautions, and knocked out Jess."

"Snake took down Qinggangying with his last hand. Is this taking Rambo?"

……

The Lightning Wolves are on the bench.

Steak kept staring at the ban position and Snake's lineup.

"Are they going to take the Lambo?" MMD asked.

"Very likely, the top laner on the opposite side is quite proficient in this hero."

"Do you want to pull it?"

"Don't worry."

Steak said: "If you choose Rambo as the top laner, the opponent's AP damage will obviously overflow, and it is very likely to be paired with an AD mid laner."

"It doesn't matter if Rambo lets go, we'll take Kenan backhand."

Upon hearing Kenan, MMD patted his chest to assure that it would be fine.

"The last ban is better against TheKing."

Ma Bao asked, "Is it an airplane?"

Steak smiled, "It's not just a plane."

"Don't forget, recently TheKing played a classic Lucian fight against Kassadin."

"The plane still has a large part of AP damage. Lucian is more pure and takes shape faster, which is more in line with Snake's idea of ​​playing in the early and mid-term."

"We can do the opposite and keep the first move later."

"Luxian and Jess have both pulled, and Kassadin is very suitable for the version. The current winning rate is as high as 54.2%, surpassing the prince, Syndra, Verus, Rambo and other heroes."

"However, if they really take the Lambo, we can choose the plane ourselves."

Ma Bao muttered in her heart, and nodded involuntarily.

Whether it is the plane or Kasserdin, he has practiced a lot recently.

If the restraint heroes are all removed, it is absolutely no problem to take them out.

"I can."

Hearing what Ma Bao said, everyone had no objections.

However, this wave is only a general discussion, and it has not been finalized. The details will have to wait for Snake to choose the hero on the fourth floor.

On the big screen, FW defeated Lucian on the fourth floor.

"The Lightning Wolves have a lot of research on Snake. I was just wondering if The King would get Lucian out of it."

Sun Yalong said suspiciously: "Hey, if Lucian pulls this hand, the Lightning Wolf may also take Kassadin!"

"Maple has a lot of room to play. Once it develops, the fan mother can't keep Verus."

"Prince! The fourth floor of Snake is locked."

"On the fourth floor of FW, Lightning Wolves took out Sword Fairy!"

"MMD Sword Fairy didn't have a game in the Spring Split, but she played one in the Summer Split. The winning rate is 0%."

"Hey, you really dare to choose!"

In the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall, seeing Jian Ji appearing on the stage, Frog Fans shouted excitedly, obviously sensing the momentum of Lightning Wolf's sword.

On the fifth floor of FW, a hero with a terrifying head was locked.

That's right, it's Kassadin!

At level 16, the opponent's base 'explodes' directly!
As soon as this hero came out, the frogs were in a climax.

The fans holding the Flash Wolf logo were shaking excitedly.

In the LPL division, in the Suning team, Dian Huang, who was eating oranges while watching the game, almost swallowed the whole orange in one gulp.

Kassadin?
Impressed too much.

Not long ago, LPL audiences and commentators called him the second Houye.

After a game of Kassadin, he became a 'point emperor'.

Wanwan, this is not a long memory, right?
Maple also wants to be 'M Emperor'?
Dianhuang made some small complaints: "Playing against TheKing is really not suitable for heroes who are too weak in the early stage."

The richest man in Vietnam heard it, and a smile appeared on his dark face.

"Dian Huang. Cough, Dian, you are thinking too much."

"This version of Kassadin has a certain strength, otherwise the winning rate would not be so high."

"Jace and even Lucian pulled the trigger, Maple's line is not a big problem."

"..."

Although Shufen is reasonable.

But there is always a voice hovering in Dianhuang's mind, telling him that Gouqi brother is not that simple.

After that fight, Dianhuang really understood the opponent's strength.

……

In the Snake contestant's seat, Ma Bao took out Kassadin, and Li Hao froze for a moment.

Jess and Lucian pulled it out, and Kassadin was naturally taken out?

When Li Hao's voice sounded in the voice of the team, other members of the LPL really heard it in the background.

People were surprised.

Then, what the snake team did surprised them even more.

On the fifth floor of Snake, after listening to Li Hao's ideal hero, he basically chose it without any worries.

You can take whatever you want on your thighs.

The factory manager glanced at Abu full of resentment, meaning:

Back then, if you gave goji berries this kind of treatment, would people be able to run away?
Abu glanced back angrily, and the meaning was obvious:
You weren't the one who let medlar be a dryad on the road back then?
……

"Hey, here comes the flirty thing again!"

Wang Duoduo said: "A total of 74 heroes have appeared in the summer split so far, but this hero has never appeared."

"locking!"

……

"——Life by the sword, death by the sword!"

——Shadow of the Blade, Talon.

Shenchao introduced:
"This is the male sword after the revision, but many players are not too satisfied with the mechanism after the revision, which leads to a much lower appearance rate of the male sword."

Sun Yalong also said: "Indeed, it is more difficult to operate this hero now, unlike before, an E goes to the opponent's back, and then kills in a flash."

"Now the male sword's E skill has become over the wall."

"It is precisely because of this mechanism that the rhythmic ability is much stronger than before."

"However, I really didn't expect The King to take out the male knife."

……

Not only the commentators were stunned for a moment, but the players of Flash Wolves also didn't understand immediately.

Steak smiled, "Mom, this is much easier than Lucian."

"Miss in the middle remember to send the signal, this game will be delayed until the later stage, and the victory will be firmly won."

……

The heroes switch positions, and the lineups of both sides are locked.

FW: Sword Girl, Excavator, Kassadin, Skateboard Shoes, Thresh

Snake: Prince, Wine Barrel, Male Swordsman, Verus, Fan Mom
The coaches of both sides shook hands, and the game entered the loading interface.

……

Off the court, the audience had a lively discussion.

The hero of Nandao is a super upset now, and no one is playing in the arena.

What's worse is that this hero was taken down by Brother Goji.

Before, Brother Gouqi's male sword had a record of mass killings, but that was the old version of the male sword.

The new version of the male knife, even in the Rank, I haven't heard that Brother Gouqi plays a lot 6.

Therefore, LPL audiences are both looking forward to it and feeling adventurous.

With the discussion in the comment areas and bullet screens of the major forums, the heroes of both sides have entered the Summoner's Canyon.

Li Hao's long sword and reusable potion go out, how greedy he is.

Talent Thunder, Summoner skill Ignite and Flash.

At level 1, Flash Wolves originally wanted to do something with Thresh and skateboard shoes.

After Liu Qingsong hit the excavator and Jianji with an RQ, Karsa sent signals repeatedly, and the group retreated.

The two sides stayed in their respective wild areas without doing anything.

Cuihua started the game with a regular blue buff, and the duo came over to help.

At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the soldier came near the defense tower, and Li Hao controlled the male sword to go online with the soldier.

After the revision, Tailong is very distinctive, in fact, it is very suitable for solo ranking.

This hero is easy to get the lane right during the laning phase, has strong single-kill ability, and good mobility. He can quickly support and drive the rhythm of the audience.

In the mid-term, because of the leap of faith of the E skill, it can invade and grab orders from a tricky position at an extremely fast speed, making it hard to guard against.

Although the error tolerance rate of team battles is low, it is easy to enter the field and die suddenly and cannot deal damage, but under the condition of proper operation, it can also complete a single-point instant kill and deal a certain amount of AOE damage.

When Li Hao saw Maple's corruption potion going out, he knew that Mabao was a strong person.

The reason why Kassadin is afraid of male knives online is that the basic armor is low. Normally, you should be talented in armor, then go out with cloth armor and potion, and then hold back the armguard.

In the early stage, the passive damage of male swords is not as high as that of melee QAQ. Kassadin needs to control the line in front of the tower, and walk back after being hit by the second stage of W.

If the male sword is forced to QA to play passively, it will definitely be beaten by the tower to AWQE.

However, Kassadin has no line power at all when facing the male sword. At the first level of the male sword, look at the second buff to be hit by the opposite jungler. If you learn w, you can push the line violently. Jungle invades the wild.

The existence of the E skill makes the support ability of the male sword wild area can be said to be the top batch in the mid laner. Once Kassadin also participates in the support, he will face two very embarrassing problems.

One is that there may be no pressure online before level 11, but the damage burst is not at the same level at all.

The second is that Kassadin has no line rights. If he comes to support, he will at least eat one or two waves of lines.

Li Hao's thinking was very clear, but after judging that Mabao had no experience in laning against male swords, he changed his strategy.

Of course, he guessed the details of Mabao and Flash Wolf in BP.

Steak Arrangement Maple picks out Kassadin, all that can be said.
Steak, as expected of you.

At 1 minute and 38 seconds, the minions in the middle lane collided with each other, and Li Hao tapped the W skill at level 1.

He finds the right opportunity and cuts the grass and roots (W).

Talon throws a line of throwing knives that deal physical damage each time they pass through an enemy, returning daggers that deal additional damage and slow the target hit.

At a distance of 650 yards, the minion was scraped, and Kassadin was also scraped.

Mabao's blood volume at level 1 is 564 points, and the blood bar on her head has dropped by one bar.

On the FW contestant's bench, Ma Bao was speechless inwardly, the throwing knife really hurt.

He added a knife with Q to make his positioning a little more careful.

At level 1, Li Hao was simply consuming and pushing lanes, without finding a chance for a solo kill.

He tried his best to restrain his position and not reveal any killing intent.

After pushing all the troops in, start moving to the opposite blue buff area.

"TheKing firmly controlled the line and extended their vision to the blue buff area on the opposite side."

"Karsa will come to play blue later, and he will definitely be noticed."

"The King is very careful."

"..."

After observing the situation on and off the road, there was a small collision.

The barrel started to beat the three wolves, and then moved to the upper half.

Li Hao returned to the middle lane to collect the 7th soldier and successfully upgraded to 2.

At 2 minutes and 27 seconds, the three roads are still relatively peaceful.

At this time, Li Hao still had more than half of his mana left. Kassadin had 4 and a half blood bars left on his head because he had eaten two Ws, but Ma Bao had upgraded.

The blue side has three long-range minions left.

The long-range soldier in the middle is the melee soldier next to Li Hao, and it is in a state of residual blood.

Li Hao aimed at the bloody long-range soldiers, and Q went over.

- Noxian diplomacy.

The moment Q passed, the male Daofeng let out a cold snort, and threw his throwing knife casually.

Because Q brought the relationship closer, Mabao ate two sections of W.

At this time, Kassadin was almost half blood.

Ma Bao hurriedly retreated and swallowed the corruption potion.

However, he still stood in front of the tower, ready to eat the second wave of minions.

Li Hao looked at his movements, and then at his third wave of soldiers, and instantly understood the situation of the soldiers.

Snake was on the bench, his eyes sharpened.

……
