LOL: It’s so happy to be a Chinese aid in LCK

Chapter 218 CvMax: This will be the battle that will make GRF famous! The sword is so powerful and sharp
Helios is obviously not affected at all by the LCK extreme fans who are breaking down their defense. Not to mention that he can't see it, even if he sees it, what can he do?
He is a real fanatic fan of Xu Junyan!
This enthusiasm became even stronger after Xu Junyan performed strongly, won the MSI championship and took home the FMVP!
Of course, getting back to the topic, he didn't keep joking with the Roaring Emperor. He got back to seriousness and started talking about the upcoming race.

"GRF, to be honest, the strength of this team makes me, a fan of Silence, a little worried."

Helios was entangled, "The five starters have more than 6000 points combined, which is unprecedented in the history of LCK."

"Yes, they are five very motivated young men. Moreover, so far, no team, including KDM and MVP, has tested their upper limits." The Roaring Emperor nodded.

"Actually, what worries me the most is not this, but a convention, or the tradition of LCK."

Helios said helplessly, "Since the promotion and relegation window opened, the newly promoted teams almost always bring many amazing things at the beginning of the season, special heroes? Or new tactics? Clever cooperation?

I think a team like GRF, which is sweeping the secondary league, has no shortage of this kind of thing.

Therefore, SKT's opening match was very troublesome because they knew nothing about the real GRF.

If possible, I hope this battle can be postponed for half a month or a month, whatever is fine."

What Helios said was actually exactly what Wolf and the others were worried about before.

This kind of "convention" and "tradition" has also created many classic cases of strong teams failing.

The Roaring Emperor joked: "If SKT loses this battle, it will become a stepping stone for GRF to take off."

He directly exposed the LCK official's little tricks that were hotly discussed on the Internet today, which immediately caused the barrage of comments like "bold"!
At this time, the director's camera turned to the player seat, SKT side, and fixed on Canyon who was making his debut on the LCK stage.

"However, Canyon, this young player..."

The Roaring Emperor organized his speech and commented, "He looks like a very shy person. I wonder what his style will be like in the competition."

"He is indeed a very shy boy." Helios became even more worried, because shy players often don't perform well.

The camera switches to Griffin's side.

What a youthful and aggressive group of people! Even though, like Canyon, they are all new faces.

However, the young men on Griffin's side all had high-spirited smiles on their faces, and they looked very confident when communicating with each other.

And their jungler Tarzan's face also belongs to the type that is more murderous, at least compared to Canyon...

Many SKT fans felt a pang in their hearts again!
Not so good!

This jungle area...
If it really doesn't work, carry the Black Emperor back?
Although Heihuang is not good at playing, he is experienced. Young players like Canyon are probably not only inexperienced but also disobedient.

Another thing is, the first impression Canyon and Tarzan give everyone is that the former really doesn't look like it can be better than the latter in any way, isn't it?

In the commentary booth, the Roaring Emperor was about to make another comment, but the camera suddenly cut off and the BP began. He immediately changed his words: "It's started!"

The attention of Helios, fans of both teams at the scene, and audiences in major live broadcast rooms were immediately attracted.

Even the LPL fans watching the Tiger Channel live broadcast were quite interested in this game and the BP!
The first point is understandable, but the second point is simply due to version reasons.

The LPL summer season started ten days ago, but the version has been relatively outdated, with almost no changes compared to MSI.

On the LCK side, the much-anticipated and controversial 8.13 version was adopted at the start of the summer season.

This version is very interesting.

In addition to the changes in game rhythm brought about by the shortened death countdown in the early stage and the introduction of the level 2 bounty mechanism.

What attracts everyone's most attention is that the Sword Demon has been greatly changed and has returned with a rework!

Is the new Sword Demon stronger or weaker?

In the high-end Korean servers, many people commented that this is too much of a change! However, many viewers watching the live broadcast and many players on TikTok and Weibo complained that it was really not as good as the old Sword Demon.

The two voices are constantly arguing, and no one can convince the other, and the most intuitive way is undoubtedly to watch the game.

Helios is also looking forward to it: "Will both sides release Aatrox in this game? SKT is on the blue side, GRF is on the red side...ah~!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sighed.

Banned!
GRF’s first ban was directly against Aatrox, and then they banned Jayce and Galio respectively.

SKT banned Yasuo, Nightmare and Tam respectively.

The Roaring Emperor sighed with great regret: "It seems that at least for this game, we will not have the chance to witness Aatrox's first performance in the professional arena."

Heilos also lamented: "Yes."

SKT team side.

Kouma is asking: "Should we help the jungler grab the Sejuani and the Troll first, or should we help the mid laner grab the Zoe first? Sang Hyuk, Jian Shiki, what do you two think?"

"I'm fine with anything." Canyon said shyly.

If possible, he actually wants to play Lee Sin the most, because this is the hero he is most proficient in, the operation is also very gorgeous, and it is easier to express himself.

However, it is obviously not appropriate to raise these issues now. After all, his current strength is not enough to carry the game. It would be most appropriate to choose a tool man who can adapt to the version.

"Then Zoe, okay Zoe."

Faker said, and after a pause, he looked at Xu Junyan who had been silent for a long time, with some doubt, "Junyan seems to have not spoken for a long time again?"

"what?"

Xu Junyan's eyes slowly regained focus, he smiled, and joked, "I'm accumulating energy, and I'll be able to release the Stream Ray soon."

"You boy!"

Kouma tapped Xu Junyan's shoulders lightly with both hands from behind in an unpleasant manner, asking him to be serious.

Xu Junyan was actually very serious. Just now, he was just choosing what title to take in this match.

Now the choices are finished, which are [Civil War Phantom], [I'm Really Pulling], [Extreme Reaction], [You Don't Need Your Nationality], and [Pull Out the Hook and Shift Gears]!
"Just choose Zoe?" Xu Junyan had already searched for the Twilight Star Spirit and asked again.

Faker hesitated as usual: "Actually, you can also play Lulu. This version of Darius is very strong. If you want to chop her down, Jun Yan..."

"There's no need to go to this extent." Xu Junyan smiled and shook his head, locking Zoe down.

Noxus in the summer season is indeed a very popular ultimate pick, and this thing has been getting very popular in the high-ranking segments of the Korean server recently.

Now that it’s time for the competition, it’s inevitable that it will be in T1, not to mention being a must-ban or must-pick, so of course Xu Junyan will give it a try.

Then, when others are preparing to play, I suddenly pull out Karma and torture my opponent.

After all, the idea of ​​Karma annoying Noxus was only widely circulated in the S9 season. If he uses it now, it will be a sure kill!

I just don’t know who will be the lucky one.

Therefore, SKT's first pick was quickly decided upon, which was Zoe.

When it comes to GRF, the two choices of Gnar on the first floor and Morgana on the second floor are very neat and clear, and it seems that they have been well thought out for a long time.

"It's killed in seconds as soon as it's shown. GRF is really well prepared." The Roaring Emperor couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Gnar and Morgana?..." Helios thought seriously but couldn't figure it out.

Do you want to play a big group?
It was SKT's turn again. The second floor locked on Sejuani, and the third floor, in between, took out a more unexpected hero, Irelia!
"Get the hero for Silence first?"

Roaring Emperor and Helios were both surprised. They both thought SKT would play it safe and give the big C Xu Junyan the last two moves.

Moreover, in version 8.13, although the passive attack speed of the hero Irelia has been greatly improved, the damage has been weakened, and because the marking time has been reduced, faster operations are required to play.

In other words, the difficulty of operating this hero has increased exponentially!
One has to admire Xu Junyan's courage, confidence and self-confidence for daring to make such a choice.

It was GRF's turn, and in the third pick, they picked Twilight Eye.

"This!" Roaring Emperor was stunned, and immediately turned to look at Helios, "So Morgana is the mid laner?"

"No, I feel like... No way, is GRF trying to, huh?!" Helios suddenly started to make a riddle in the commentary booth.

The Roaring Emperor was suddenly shocked as he thought of something: "Are they really going to play like this? The first game? They're going to fight like this in their first LCK Summer Game?!"

Helios nodded solemnly, "It's very possible, but to be honest, it's not too hard, because this routine is quite strong."

The comments were so anxious, everyone was complaining and cursing Roaring Emperor and Helios for asking such a riddle out of the blue. Wouldn't it be better to just give the answer directly?
However, the two of them didn't say it at the first time, until a senior player pointed it out in the barrage.

"Isn't it a mid-support strategy? It has become famous in the high-ranking segments of the 8.13 version recently."

Zhongfu!!
After being pointed out like this, many people instantly understood.

This is a style of play that has recently emerged in the high-ranking segments of the Korean server. It is not played by many people (after all, it requires cooperation from multiple people), but the winning rate is extremely high!
In SKT's next two bans, it was obvious that they had seen through GRF's intentions.

Ban Lulu, ban Kai'Sa! GRF's last two bans were Alistar and Eternal Hunter.

Then, choose gems on the fourth floor!
"Ah!! SKT still failed to defend in the end. Since they got the gem, they probably need to make a Gem Swordmaster." Helios became depressed.

"There's no way, it can't be stopped. SKT definitely can't force a swordmaster to break up the lineup. That's not rational and too abstract." Roaring Emperor said.

"It's the Gem Swordmaster, and the bottom lane is Morgana + Shen... What do you think?" Seeing that he couldn't defend it, Kouma shook his head helplessly.

These new teams are brave and have many tricks.

Sword! This is the most aggressive and extreme set of mid-support play recently, which is far less stable than the mid-lane punishment Kaisa and the like.

But GRF chose it!

"We shouldn't have banned Lulu. We banned our own hero." Wolf scratched his head.

The Faerie Witch is undoubtedly the best hero who can counter the Blademaster.

"It's too late to regret. Let's try to control more. Put Xayah and Rakan directly in the bottom lane to improve survivability. In the later stage, you guys control and I will deal with the Swordmaster." Xu Junyan said.

A Irelia threatened to deal with the Juggernaut with gems, Morgana and Shen... a bit arrogant!
But he is Xu Junyan, and this sentence seems to have infinite magic.

"Ok!"

Bang and Wolf locked down both Xayah and Rakan one after another.

Kouma patted Xu Junyan's shoulder again, smiled bitterly and encouraged him, "It's up to you, Junyan."

There was not much to study when playing against this new team, and as a coach, he was under a lot of pressure.

Just like this time, I accidentally fell into the trap of the opponent CvMax, and Kouma felt very ashamed.

"Believe it first." Xu Junyan grinned.

It was GRF's turn for the last pick, and without any surprise, they picked the hero Juggernaut.

"ohhhh~!!!"

Seeing that GRF really took out the sword and took the opportunity to do a trick on SKT, the extreme LCK fans in the audience once again cheered with joy.

"Come on, everyone."

GRF's supervisor CvMax was very satisfied with his bp and nodded. As strict as he was, he simply encouraged everyone in GRF.

When shaking hands with Kouma, CvMax said boldly, "Coach Kkoma, your era is coming to an end."

"you're good."

Kouma praised him and was not angry because of the other party's teasing. Besides, CvMax was indeed not bad.

GRF's sweep of the secondary league is certainly due to the strong players' strength, but the help of the new coach should not be underestimated.

"Who do you think will win today?" asked CvMax.

"We." Kou Ma smiled at him politely and left.

CvMax stood there in a daze. He couldn't figure out how SKT could beat them this time.

With a noncommittal smile, CvMax muttered to himself, "The battle to become famous is here, SKT, become our stepping stone!" Then, he also left the field.

With the departure of the coaches of both sides, the detailed information of the match between SKT and GRF soon appeared on the big screen.

Blue side SKT vs. red side GRF.

Top lane: Irelia vs Gnar
Jungle: Sejuani vs Blademaster
Mid: Zoe vs. Gem
ADC: Xayah vs Morgana

Support: Rakan vs Twilight Eye
……

"SKT!!!"

"Come on~!!"

“GRF!!!!”

"Come on~!!"

Off the field, the cheers from fans of both sides were unstoppable, each louder than the other, announcing the official start of the game!
‘Welcome to League of Legends! ’

As the electronic prompt sounded, the canyon opened and ten players from SKT and GRF walked out of the fountain one after another.

"It's not easy to play. It's really not easy to play. Although SKT has a lot of control, GRF has Morgana and Shen... Juggernaut is too comfortable in the late game."

Helios discussed with a heavy heart, "And I seriously doubt that this Rift Herald will become a starting point for GRF. They only need to take the Herald and then group up and push the middle. Even if they cross the tower, their strength is enough."

"It depends on how SKT responds. Actually, as far as Faker is concerned, Zoe is not as good as Ryze or Galio... Oh, Galio has been banned, but Zoe's pushing speed is really a bit unsatisfactory." The Roaring Emperor said with his hands on his shoulders.

"There's nothing we can do about the mid and jungle. We can only hope that the top and bottom lanes can gain an advantage as soon as possible. How to deal with this swordmaster still depends on Silence and Bang." Helios placed his hopes.

"Eh?"

The Roaring Emperor suddenly let out a sigh, because SKT’s first level did not intend to live in peace with GRF.

If you think about it carefully, this is normal.

After all, the most core point of GRF is Juggernaut. If we can disrupt Juggernaut's jungling rhythm in the early stage, we will do our best!

Besides, SKT's lineup is definitely more powerful than GRF at level 1, so it would be unfair not to invade.

The five of them gathered together and advanced in a straight line.

GRF played very carefully. Sword, who was hiding in the grass at F6, noticed SKT's action at the first moment and issued a warning immediately.

They were very rational and did not fight hard. Since SKT had arrived, they just retreated and went to the bottom to fight for the blue buff.

Let the duo lane help open the blue, eat the toad, then eat a wave of middle lane, and then hit the red buff, this route is also completely ok.

On the SKT side, Wolf said, "He didn't come. In that case, what should I say? Should Junzhi and I go back directly?"

"Go back, don't go out, go home right where you are, block the vision and go to the lane. If Juggernaut is forced to start with the blue buff, the duo lane will definitely help him. You block the lane at that time and let them push. Morgana and Shen don't have much combat power. Once the lane is controlled in front of the tower, it's best for Rakan to force them out of the experience zone, and Sejuani should also go to deter them. After creating a level difference, we will pass them once, and then keep pushing the lane to gain an advantage."

Xu Junyan quickly explained the next tactics.

Although this game does not have the bug title of "Hey~! I just don't ban Galio", he still has some insights on the popular mid-support gameplay in the S8 summer season.

If you play this kind of strategy normally, in the end you will only find that the opponent has raised a giant Big Daddy, who will be invincible after 30 minutes with six pieces of equipment.

Therefore, he still had to take an unusual approach, otherwise it would be difficult to win. Of course, Xu Junyan himself also felt a little regretful.

He showed his cards directly in the third hand, which was a bit too confident. If he had chosen a captain, it might have been better.

As long as the development is good enough, it is not impossible to kill the Sword Master before the gem's ultimate skill falls.

"SKT drove the Juggernaut away..."

"nice."

From a God's perspective, watching SKT's first-level operations, the Roaring Emperor expressed his approval.

When the buff was born, Xu Junyan accompanied Canyon to open GRF's red, then returned to the line and pressed forward directly!

With this pressure, the Sword Emperor immediately felt the danger, and was warned that the Pig Girl was coming, so he retreated quickly.

After Xu Junyan scared the Sword Emperor to the bottom of the tower, he turned around again and walked towards the river without taking the lead.

Accompany Canyon to fight for our own blue together!
Because the Gem Swordmaster in the mid support has to come to the middle to eat a wave of lines at level 2 regardless of whether he eats the Toad or not, therefore, as long as Pig Girl moves fast enough, the red buff in the lower area can be kept.

As expected, with the help of Xu Junyan, Canyon quickly ate the blue buff, and after that, the Juggernaut had just finished eating the center lane.

Start with 3buffs, it’s done!
Although it won't destroy the Swordmaster in one go, it will definitely disrupt the opponent's development rhythm.

"SKT's thinking was very clear. Sejuani got 3 buffs at the start, but this must be very difficult for Irelia?" Roaring Emperor commented.

"We will definitely lose a few soldiers, but there is one detail in this wave that is really great!"

Helios smiled knowingly and didn't keep the secret. "Gnar touched the minion line at level 1. After being driven back to the tower by Irelia, the minion line inevitably formed a wave of advancing lines. Therefore, when Irelia returns to the line, although he will lose soldiers, the loss is not much. The most important point is that he will have a wave of tower front lines, which is very comfortable for Irelia."

"Eh? It seems so! Because the jungler of GRF in this game is a Blademaster, and he needs to develop in the early stage. In addition, Gnar and Blademaster have no control, so they will not come to cross this tower no matter what..."

The Roaring Emperor suddenly had a sudden epiphany and exclaimed, "It seems that SKT's strategy for this game is very clear!"
