LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 339 Frame-by-frame analysis, the world’s best top laner

"The strong are always strong!"

"EDG, who returned from MSI, may not have had time to adapt to the version, and made some small mistakes in the early and mid-term laning." Wang Duoduo began to congratulate when the JDG crystal exploded, "But as the game progressed, EDG players We are gradually regaining the feeling of dominating the field in the spring split!"

"In the last few minutes of the game, they used a tight and suffocating operating rhythm to reiterate to LPL that EDG is still the championship team of the spring split! It is also the ultimate winner of MSI!"

Doubts are always there!

It's no secret that Riot Games likes to target MSI champions.

When EDG was still fighting at the Zenith Arena in Paris, Riot Games updated version 8.10 to make large-scale changes to the jungle.

By lowering the early experience value of wild monsters in the wild monster camp, and then increasing the value of river crabs by increasing gold coins and experience points, Riot Games uses combo punches to weaken the possibility of jungle heroes catching people quickly!

This is undoubtedly a huge weakening for EDG, a team with an excellent style of "catching up at the second level and catching at the third level".

Version 8.11 adds a new AD equipment called [Arashi Kiri], which enhances the shooter hero’s burst and kiting abilities.

At the same time, the two critical equipment, Infinity Blade and Essence Scythe, have been enhanced.

The armor-piercing effect of the two Great Whispers has been changed from additional armor to the target's total armor.

The total price of the ruined and blood-drinking swords has been reduced.

The magic resistance attribute of the Demon-Drinking Knife has been improved.

Added [Cluster Blade] and [Ultimate Hunter] to the Domination system.

No matter how you look at the series of changes in version 8.11, they show Riot's strong willingness to increase the importance of the ADC in the team.

EDG's top jungler is the strongest, this is what the stars can say with confidence.

The selection of candidates for the Asian Games directly locked Nexus and MLXG, and there was no alternative, and this statement was officially recognized from the side!

Instead of strengthening the upper field, it strengthens the lower half.

Even if Riot is 'unintentional', these changes are not good for EDG but it has become a fact.

After all, compared to the top AD players, there is still a certain gap in Sima Lao Thief's laning ability.

His advantage is that while he can play most shooter heroes, he also has good proficiency with many other heroes in the lane. He can cooperate with the support in the bottom lane to establish online advantages through combinations!

Arashi Kiri, Endless, Blue Sword Sucking, Ruined, Blood Drinking, Big Whispering

It seems that the biggest beneficiaries of these equipment enhancements are top traditional AD players like Uzi.

Due to a combination of version and training reasons, many non-star viewers had a negative attitude toward EDG before the summer games.

“We can be in the top three, but it’s very difficult to win the summer split!”

"Father of Riot Games almost targeted you EDG by name. If you win the championship again in the Summer Split, doesn't it mean that our LPL is a garbage region?"

"Playing with showy combinations in the bottom lane is not the right way. It is better to let SMLZ and Gala practice the basic skills of AD laning more when engaging in such unfashionable things."

"Reaching the semifinals of the playoffs counts as success!"

"There should be places for the World Championship, but it is really difficult to win the Summer Split. No matter how you look at it, this is RNG's version!"

"In two months, wait for the third "Pig Killing Conference" to be held!"

Wang Duoduo's remarks after the first game of EDG vs JDG were based on the above public opinions and the fact that EDG defeated JDG.

Such targeted words caused the barrage to increase rapidly:

[It’s so difficult for the teams to compete in the first round of the playoffs, it’s really annoying! 】

[If it weren’t for Nexus blood C, this EDG would really lose]

[Let’s wait until EDG wins BO3 before calling, be careful that the slap in the face comes too soon! 】

[Miller's doll Rita is all starch, but I didn't expect that Wang Duoduo is also starch. Our EDG is truly worthy of Guodian, and even the LPL commentary circle will soon be unified by it! 】

[Rumors say, I am invincible in stance training matches. As long as I don’t get blasted by Nexus on the road, there is really no pressure on RNG against EDG]

[I heard that EDG is recruiting for youth training. I am the number one male swordsman in the Korean server. Can you give me a chance? 】

[Haha, do you believe that he is the best male swordsman in the Korean server, or do you believe that I am the best male spearman in the Japanese server? 】

……

"Is the LPL halftime so long? There are already more than a dozen advertisements."

It's six o'clock in the morning in North America.

IWD was completely sleepless at the moment. He sat in front of the computer and checked his phone for a while before glancing at the screen.

However, the second game between EDG and JDG has not started yet, and a KFC advertisement is now playing on the display.

If you don’t count the ten minutes of dazed sleep before, it’s been 19 hours since IWD last had a good night’s sleep!

After realizing this, fatigue began to fill his body again.

His eyelids grew thick again.

In order to keep himself energetic, IWD had to look for videos that could excite him.

"Then let me see what the match between JDG and EDG was like after I fell asleep in the last game!"

IWD found the last game between the two sides in the LPL English stream, and pulled the progress bar directly to 12 minutes, which was the time when his consciousness began to blur and he fell asleep.

……

"It was JDG who chose to change lanes!"

Zoom's Nuoshou was killed by Jiang Zhun Sword Demon and Incense Pot Spider over the tower.

After resurrecting, he did not continue to the top lane. Instead, he switched lanes with the well-developed Yagao Yasuo, and ran to the middle lane to compete with Zet.

"Yasuo vs. Sword Demon?"

"This is really rare!"

IWD recalled the hundreds of ranked games he had played in the past few months in his mind, and could not find a scene of Yasuo and Sword Demon fighting in the top lane.

As a player who mainly plays jungle, it is difficult for him to judge which of the two heroes on the top lane has the advantage based on his inherent impression of the hero.

Therefore, he no longer thought too much, but observed the confrontation between Neuxs and Yagao as a bystander.

Yasuo's last hit was only 5 kills behind Sword Demon, and he held a head in his hand. The gap between Yasuo and Sword Demon in terms of economy and level was very small.

Yagao is also a young player who only started playing professionally last year. He is very young and energetic.

As soon as they hit the road, they exchanged blood with Sword Demon.

It has to be said that Sword Demon, who only has a Q skill displacement, does not have much advantage when facing Yasuo, who can come and go like the wind when there is a line of troops.

Jiang Zhun didn't take advantage of the two rounds of blood exchanges in the early stage.

But fortunately, the sword demon can use the red knife to restore blood.

In this regard, toothpaste is a little anxious!

Although his Yasuo is well developed and has two core pieces of equipment, attack speed boots and green cross in the early stage, his online recovery ability is only close to the five-digit recovery ability provided by the entry-level Dolan's Sword. The poor blood sucker!

而剑魔W红刀提供的回血则是30/45/60/75/90外加百分之5已损失生命值的回复！

The less blood the Sword Demon has and the stronger his recovery ability, the more you will lose by exchanging blood with him!

After taking a look at Xin Ran who had already recovered, he realized that before Toothpaste could make any blood-sucking actions, all he could do was fight the sword demon to the death!

You will definitely not be able to compare with the other side!

If Nexus finds another opportunity to exchange a few waves of health, the opponent will most likely come over the tower to kill him like Noshou who killed Zoom, relying on his passive resurrection!

Under the camera, Toothpaste's little eyes became determined.

Relying on the keen sense of smell of former professional players and Yasuo's constantly changing position, IWD also vaguely guessed that a new conflict might break out between the two sides later.

"If the top laner chooses a melee hero, then the frequency of clicking the mouse must be very fast!"

"It's about pulling and positioning."

After Yasuo Q's Q, the sword demon's position on the screen also became aggressive.

"Nexus has insight into Yagao's intentions!"

"He guessed that Yagao wanted to take action!"

While IWD was observing the online situation, he also paid attention to the expressions of the players on both sides of the equipment column below from time to time, treating himself as a psychological master to figure out the inner thoughts of both parties.

This is the most enjoyable part of his review.

Because, if you guess correctly, the body’s secretion of dopamine, which can create pleasure, will make him feel particularly happy~

"Hahaha, it's true!"

The scene that happened next confirmed his suspicion!

Sword Demon no longer controls the line, but focuses on pushing the line while using his W skill to restore blood!

In this way, Jiang Zhun can choose to retreat when the army line is pushed past, waiting for the next wave of soldiers to arrive. At the same time, each third basic attack can also help Sword Demon regain blood, so that when the army line arrives next, Sword Demon will face Yasuo. , taking advantage of the blood volume!

After being stunned for a while, Toothpaste also understood what Jiang Zhun was thinking.

He controlled Yasuo and approached the sword demon!

"Remnant soldier?"

"Does he want to take advantage of the Sword Demon to replenish his troops and then use his Q skill to consume them?"

IWD keenly observed the details on the battlefield, and he immediately adjusted the playback speed of the video from 1.0 to 0.5.

His accurate prediction also allowed him to completely capture the details of the next two players' operations.

“1、2、3、4、5、6、7！”

"7 times!"

"Nexus actually made seven fake moves in this short period of time to turn around and try to replenish troops!"

"But Yagao couldn't help but Q when the sword demon turned around for the sixth time!"

"But Nexus actually didn't even think about replenishing the remaining health of the ranged soldier. He just wanted to trick Yasuo into using Q!"

"Sure enough, Yasuo's [Steel Flash] failed, and it's Sword Demon's turn next!"

Jiang Zhun pretended to replenish his troops by constantly twisting back and forth, and finally deceived Toothpaste's Q skill.

The red side's long-range minion, who didn't care about the remaining health, was killed by his own minion. The sword demon's target was directly locked on Yasuo!

Q skill gets close and knocks Yasuo away!

Then Ping A takes the ultimate move [Blood Massacre]!

Sword Demon gains an attack speed and 175 attack range bonus. Coupled with Conqueror's passive, the damage from the giant hydra's poke on Yasuo's body is directly off the charts!

With the attack speed provided by the attack speed boots and the green cross, Yasuo's Q skill has a very short cooldown. Toothpaste retreats while stabbing the sword demon Zanfeng with Steel Cutting Flash.

However, the sword demon is like a demon, pursuing him relentlessly.

Relying on the super long attack distance, Jiang Zhun plays very smoothly with A.

During the pursuit, he also used the fake A move to make Toothpaste mistakenly think that he wanted to use the E skill to slow down Yasuo, thereby deceiving the wind wall!

"Wind wall slows down!"

"Ncie!"

"It turns out that the other head Nexus got before his fourth kill was from killing Yasuo!"

IWD watched with excitement as the sword demon took Yasuo's head, and his hands couldn't help but clapped.

"In S7, the top laner's ability to take over the game with carry was very weak, but EDG still won the championship due to the strong rise of Neuxs. I should have noticed him a long time ago!"

"His laning handling is really invincible, no matter in the early or mid-game!"

“In less than 7 seconds, he turned back and forth times to pretend to last-hit and deceive Yasuo’s Q skill. Even though this is a skill that more than % of gold players use in daily laning, it can be so powerful in the hands of Nexus. Effect"

“Oh, damn it!”     “Has the second game started?”

IWD suddenly slapped himself, quickly turned off the video of Game1, and cut out the LPL English live broadcast.

The BP session just ended:

EDG blue side: [Top laner Captain, jungler troll, mid laner Ryze, ADC Kai'Sa, assistant Shen]

JDG red side: [Top laner Sword Demon, jungler Kindred, mid laner Zoe, bottom lane combination Morgana + Pike]

"Aha?"

"It's getting interesting!"

IWD looked at the lineups of both sides and was surprised to find that after Zoom was taught a lesson by Neuxs' Sword Demon in the previous game, he actually backhandedly chose Sword Demon in this round.

Has he ever practiced this hero?

Then why was Neuxs beaten to death at level 2 and single-killed at level 6 in the previous game?

In addition, what makes IWD somewhat interested is that JDG's bottom lane combination came up with Morgana + Pyke.

Two support heroes

Is there any trick here?

After thinking for a while, IWD couldn't think of any skill combination between Morgana and Pike that could create a powerful linkage.

If I have to say it, it is that these two heroes have a lot of control!

Let’s not talk about Morgana. As a small skill, the Q skill can have a confinement effect of up to 2.75 seconds after the skill points are full. It is really terrifying!

The ultimate move is a group-wide and large-scale control skill.

Pike is a new hero that debuted in version 8.11.

It is positioned as an assassin-type support, but many players in the middle and jungle of Rank use it to play mid lane, or even in the jungle position!

He also has two control skills, namely the hook of Q skill and the stun target of E skill on the displacement path.

"Is it because they want to use a control chain combination to use uninterrupted control to punish players who like to pick up Q?" IWD thought while stroking the thick beard on his chin.

"However, Morgana's black shield is indeed very effective against Shen's E skill taunt."

"It's really difficult for the EDG duo to have an advantage in the bottom lane or complete a lane kill."

While the game was loading, IWD thought a lot more.

Finally, he thought of another possibility.

That is the two assistants selected by JDG. Apart from clearing the bottom lane in the early stage, their role in the team may really be limited to the word "auxiliary".

Because top lane Sword Demon, jungler Kindred, and mid lane Zoe, these three heroes are all carry points and need resources!

If the bottom duo continues to eat resources, there will definitely be someone in JDG's top, middle and jungle who will not be able to play their due role in team battles because they do not have enough economy.

"Kindred's ultimate move can save lives, and Morgana's black shield can be immune to control. JDG's main C won't want Zoom's Sword Demon to take the responsibility, right?"

"No!"

"Absolutely not. Does that mean that JDG played midfielder in this round?"

In a very short period of time, IWD figured out the Redmi coach's intentions in selecting this lineup.

“I have to say, this is really a bold innovation!”

"Although this season due to the integration of talent runes, many strange heroes or combinations can be seen on the field, but this is the first time for Morgana and Pike."

"The lineup in just two games already makes me feel like LPL is letting a hundred flowers bloom!"

“Interesting~”

……

"Spicy Hotpot chose the blue buff to open, which is really unfortunate for Neuxs!"

The two sides started without incident, and the Xiangguo Troll chose to open the jungle in the upper half of the jungle.

Therefore, Jiang Zhun's captain was also called to help him buff.

When the director saw this situation, he immediately cut the screen in half, and played on the other half the action of Sword Demon starting the A-line to ensure that he could obtain the line advantage.

IWD couldn't help but cursed when he saw this scene: "MLXG, you are really committing a crime!"

"I used to be a jungler, but I also know that getting the right to push the lane in the top lane is the most important!"

"The top heroes in this round are all melee heroes. More lines means a greater advantage!"

"This is really important for accumulating troops to cross the tower or sending troops into the tower to return to the city and then go online again!"

"It is difficult to lose lane rights when the hero comes online first. Zoom is still playing Sword Demon, the lane dominator. Think about how Nexus used this hero to dominate the solo lane from beginning to end in the last game!"

IWD is a very emotional person when watching the game.

He would sometimes complain about some incomprehensible operations of the players on the field, or he would dance with excitement when he saw the brilliant operations.

Therefore, even though the captain was clearly facing a sword demon, Xiang Guo chose to open the field in the upper half of the field, which puzzled him.

"Is there anything Clearlove7 can't do?"

IWD thought of EDG's coach, jungler Ming Kai, who was almost his contemporary.

Thinking of this, he stopped talking and started watching the game quietly.

……

After Zoom attacked the minion twice, he was obviously a little worried when he saw no sign of the captain. He was worried that Jiang Zhun would do some level 1 fire knife trick, so the A soldier quietly adjusted his position and took the opportunity to insert it in the middle of the grass. Eyes on jewelry.

However, there is no captain inside, and no barrel of explosives!

"what happened?"

Just as Zoom was frowning and thinking, the captain with a knife in his left arm and a gun in his right walked from the river to the line!

"Is he going to help the trolls clear the wild?"

"How dare you!"

"How dare I, the Sword Demon, not give up the lane rights!"

Zoom was immediately elated.

No one understands the importance of lane rights better than the top laner!

Although the captain did not miss any experience in this wave of online launches, from the perspective of Zoom, the captain no longer has access to the line!

‘Ctrl+E’!

Zoom laning is more detailed, because he was afraid that the captain would crouch in the grass and ambush him, so he never added any skills.

Now, after the situation is clear, you choose to upgrade the E skill. It can not only ensure line rights through the AOE damage of sword energy, but also can be used to try to consume the captain.

bang——

After the two sides met on the road, the first round of game took place.

The captain's Q skill hit the sword demon, and the sword demon also caught the captain's hand-raising action when he Q, and threw the E skill to hit the opponent!

"Sword Demon's E skill has a very wide trajectory, so this wave of skill attacks is inevitable."

"I didn't steal anything, so it's a little bit of a loss!"

"After all, the ability of Sword Demon and others to rely on lanes after learning the W skill cannot be compared to that of a captain who only eats tangerines."

IWD watched the game between the two sides and commented in his heart.

But his eyes were still staring at the computer monitor.

All three melee soldiers on the blue side were taken out by the Sword Demon!

The captain had to give up one melee soldier because of the night line and the sword demon's position. At this moment, there were still two melee soldiers with about one-third of the health on the line.

Five red and three blue, it's clear who owns the line rights!

Faced with this situation, how should Nexus respond?

Although the captain can add some E skills when he upgrades to level 2 to gain the range-clearing skill of explosive barrels, the explosive barrels also need to be ignited!

Although the Sword Demon's basic attack speed is only 0.651, which is slightly lower than the Captain's attack speed of 0.69, Zoom's main rune chose Precision to gain an 18% attack speed bonus!

And after the Sword Demon releases 5 Q or E skills in total, he can enter the [Blood Surge] state, and at that time he can also get an attack speed bonus!

At that time, the captain's attack speed will be much lower than that of the sword demon, and it will become difficult to detonate the explosive barrel and clear the troops to regain the lane.

The blood recovery of Sword Demon's W Red Knife also means that he is not too afraid of being consumed by the captain who has no brilliance using his Q skill [Musket Negotiation].

"Bang~ Another shot!"

"Nexus's handling is really good. His second shot of musket negotiation was not used to repair the long-range minions, but directly attacked the sword demon!"

"This is to attract the aggro of the red side's minions and prevent them from attacking their own minions, thereby regaining some of the lane advantage."

"When you are in good condition, there is nothing more important than the advantage of the army line in the early stage!"

"However, the concentrated fire damage of the ranged soldiers is also very high. In order to maintain the state, Nexus only absorbed one round of damage. Before the soldiers were ready to launch the second round of concentrated fire, the captain opened the aggro distance!"

"Speaking of which, the LPL directors are really knowledgeable and keep the camera on the road!" IWD couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The middle lane is short, and the bottom lane is a two-man lane. In addition, the [Trophy] passive of the auxiliary Sacred Shield can kill minions instantly, which makes it difficult for these two lanes to have one side directly gain the advantage in the lane at the beginning. .

The line leader, the high probability that both sides of the lane are melee heroes, and the attributes of the single lane, make the battle for lane rights in the top lane extremely fierce in the first two levels.

"Every position, every basic attack, and every skill released during this period is very particular!"

"The Sword Demon has reached level 2, and the captain is close behind!"

"Haha, Neuxs is so bad. The third Q skill finally stole something. It's a bottle of castrated version of the blue medicine. It's not bad!"

After seeing the captain shoot the sword demon on the head, IWD immediately looked at his equipment column, and there were multiple small blue medicine bottles in it.

"The sword demon also threw out the second sword energy!"

"Zoom did not use it to consume Nexus this time. He used his E skill to penetrate five minions!"

"The captain also put down his own explosive barrel in the pile of soldiers!"

"I have a hunch that a key wave of operations to determine who can occupy the line is coming."

IWD held his breath, his two eyes surrounded by black circles staring motionlessly at the two heroes in the picture.

The captain began to perform Nexus's signature back-and-forth feint.

The sword demon was commanded by the S key to stop in place, holding a broadsword and waiting for the explosive barrel to jump to the last level of health.

Zoom doesn’t want Jiang Zhun to blow it up!

"what!"

“Zoom’s timing is great, right?”

"He was able to knock off the explosive barrel before the captain."

"Haha, Nexus gave Sword Demon a steaming peanut out of anger!"

"It seems that Zoom is going to win the final victory in the battle for line rights."

"Nexus has handled the situation very well, but there is really nothing we can do to help the jungler get the buff online late."

"I can only wait a minute, something seems wrong!"

"1, 2, 3"

"The blue side has 2 more minions than the red side. Nexus wins!"

IWD opened his eyes wide, and after repeatedly observing the screen, he finally confirmed a fact.

"Neuxs came online later than Zoom, but through two waves of battles, he obtained the line rights after the arrival of the artillery line!"

"How on earth is this done?"

"What detail did I miss?"

"No, I want to pull it back and watch the replay!"
