Dean, stop being C, your teammates are not worthy!

Chapter 203 - King of Trolls, Nightmare Double Flying

"Karsa, we must target this guy, he is the rhythm engine of FW in the early and mid-term."

Fumanduo patted the projection screen seriously, which showed Karsa's personal season data.

The number of heroes used, gank success rate, anti-squat success rate, KDA, vision control, and hero output.

The hexagons of these six data are...

full.

Perhaps this perfect data is related to the low strength of the LMS region. After all, anyone can come to brush data in the bully game.

But this data undoubtedly proves one thing, that is, Karsa is the well-deserved core player of the Flash Wolves team, and he deserves the title of Wolf King given by Riot.

"His jungle hero pool is very deep. He is proficient in carrying junglers like Graves and Kindred, carnivorous junglers like Lee Sin and Kha'Z, and herbivorous junglers like Sejuani and Zac. He has no shortcomings in his hero pool."

"Not only that, the characteristics of Flash Wolves' first 20 minutes in MSI this time are also due to this player. His offensive rhythm and map control ability are very strong."

"This version is very suitable for him, just like the MSI version of S5 is very suitable for Mingkai. In LMS, he is also called Taiwan Factory Manager, but his offensive ability is much stronger than Mingkai."

Yuan Shen analyzed his research data, and Fu Manduo on the side kept nodding.

"If there are shortcomings, the only thing that can be blamed is the mid-term team battle ability."

Yuan Shen nodded slightly.

Karsa, who transferred to RNG in the S8 season, is also well known by the LPL audience. This player does have some flaws in team battle ability. Occasionally, he will die suddenly without playing any role in team battles, and occasionally he will choose the wrong target in team battles.

But Karsa's biggest problem, his real weakness, is not his teamfighting ability, but his mentality.

In addition to being invincible in the first 20 minutes, Flash Wolves also have another characteristic, which is that they will not play a disadvantageous game.

Once Flash Wolves fall into a disadvantageous situation in the early stage, there are few cases of a comeback. Even if there is an occasional comeback, the most eye-catching performance is not Karsa, the core of the team, but other members.

Karsa is a two-dimensional otaku, and his personality is very similar to the male protagonist in Japanese comics.

He has no opinion, his personality is soft, he tends to shrink at critical moments, lacks confidence, and needs encouragement and help from others.

Despite such obvious shortcomings, Karsa is still a top jungler. In S9, he and the support Xiao Ming were already RNG's thighs.

His ability to lead the rhythm in the early stage is too strong. Whether it is offensive gank or map control and anti-squatting, Karsa is at the top level, and his deep hero pool can be compatible with any system.

Unfortunately, no one is perfect.

Personality determines a person's fate.

In Yuan Shen's view, Karsa's flaws in teamfighting ability are actually caused by mentality problems.

When it comes to a key team battle, it is easy to get nervous, and the hands will start to shake unconsciously, and the error rate will naturally increase.

"I think... we can try this."

Yuan Shen looked up and looked at the IG team.

"It's easy to beat Flash Wolves. We just need to do this, this, this, this..."

...

"Hello everyone, welcome to the last game of the fourth day of the MSI group stage, I am Wawa!!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

Miller pushed his glasses, "The next game is IG vs. FW. IG is currently leading 7-0 and ranks first in the group with all wins. FW also double-killed SKT in the previous game, and once forced IG into a desperate situation. The title of BO1 King is indeed something."

"Karsa, this player, must be taken seriously. His ability to lead the rhythm is really too strong."

"In fact, what kind of feeling does the FW team give me is that the cooperation between the five of them is not enough. Everyone is one-on-one point-to-point, and is only responsible for cooperating with Karsa. The strength in the laning phase is very strong, but it is not good when it comes to team battles." Wawa said.

"As I said before, don't get too arrogant. Anything can happen in a BO1. For example, I never expected that CLG would lose to SUP in the last game."

That's right... Just before this game, CLG lost to SUP in an upset, allowing the Turkish team to win the first MSI.

Perhaps because they confirmed that they would say goodbye to the MSI stage, the SUP players put down their psychological burden and played their best heroes in the last game, which was surprisingly effective.

And the CLG team was also a little arrogant. They chose a lineup of Zed in the middle and Nidalee in the jungle. They were very weak in the late game and had no tactical preparation to deal with SUP. They didn't even ban a hero that the opponent was good at.

Confidence and arrogance are sometimes only a fine line apart.

Esports, a game that relies purely on status and on-the-spot performance, has the highest upset rate among competitive events.

To describe it in terms of LOL, it is the difference between the strengths and weaknesses of professional teams. The tolerance rate is very low and you won't have any chance to make up for your mistakes.

"However, I am still more optimistic about IG in this game."

Wawa said: "To be honest, there is still a gap in hard power between the two teams."

"Yeah." Miller nodded. IG's top, mid and jungle lines are all top-notch.

Yuan Shen's awareness helped TheShy make up for his shortcomings. Jack and Xiao Ming in the bottom lane have been working together for a season and their strength is steadily increasing.

"IG on the red side! Teams from other regions may not understand, but we... we can only say that those who understand understand. Now I am looking forward to IG's red side BP."

The two continued to analyze the situation for a few sentences, and the BP officially began.

FW on the blue side banned Zyra, Graves, and Kindred respectively.

IG on the red side banned Vladimir, Cassiopeia, and Kennen respectively.

Then, Flash Wolves grabbed the Minotaur without hesitation.

The top support in this version, there is no reason not to lock it.

IG on the first floor took Deep Sea Titan, a position that IG is very keen to swing.

Yuan Shen on the second floor took...

"Nightmare?? Can this hero of NOC still be played in this version?"

"It's locked..."

The Haier brothers spoke at the same time in great tacit understanding.

Eternal Nightmare, this is a rare abstract translation in the Chinese server. In the US and European servers, the name of Nightmare is Noctunrne, Nocton, or NOC for short. Basically, all old commentators will call it NOC.

"IG hid this Nightmare so well!"

Wawa was a little emotional.

"I remember that the old WE had NOC in the world-famous global flow at that time. This hero jungler still needs proficiency."

"It's really a bit retro."

Miller didn't sell feelings much. He said to the old WE in front of IG, when did you sit so straight?

"This version has a fast pace. A hero like NOC who can only gank at level 6 feels a bit behind the pace. Moreover, even if they reach level 6, their team battle ability is completely inferior to that of Pig Girl."

In the current version, if the jungler wants to reach level 6, it will take at least six to eight minutes.

This means that IG will be one less jungler in the first few minutes, which is a bit too slow for the current version of the rhythm.

Moreover, NOC has a fatal flaw, that is, it is completely impossible to play in a disadvantageous situation, and it is dead if you enter.

If you don't choose the right time to enter the game in an advantageous situation, you can easily be killed instantly.

On the other hand, although it is difficult to gank before level 6, the anti-camping ability of Pig Girl is OK, and the most important thing is that Pig Girl is very strong in team battles.

Before the revision of Pig Girl, the upper limit of the ultimate skill is extremely high, and it is possible to freeze five enemies with one R. Whether it is an advantageous or disadvantageous situation, this hero is very stable.

On the other hand, seeing the unpopular hero NOC on the field, Flash Wolves was also stunned for a moment, but quickly chose Olaf.

Obviously, this is their choice against NOC.

After the hero Olaf opens his ultimate, he is completely immune to NOC's fear skill. Coupled with the previous strength, it can be said that NOC has to retreat completely.

On the third floor, Poppy was taken.

MMD, this player, can be called Poppy's Jinchūriki, is very proficient in the new version of Poppy. As long as he is released, he will be locked directly in nine out of ten times.

"Hey, don't they know what we are best at on the red side?"

Rookie smiled and locked a hero directly.

"It's time for the Troll!"

Trundle, the King of Trolls!

Not only is it a counter option for Poppy, but the skill of changing the terrain like pillars can also prevent Olaf from entering and escaping.

And on the fourth floor, Jhin was locked.

"TheShy's Troll is indeed rare, but it does restrain Poppy. One ultimate can steal all of Poppy's double resistances. Titan is also very good with Jhin, leaving the last counter position for Rookie..."

"Is it possible to support the Troll?"

Miller scratched his head. Now they are a little nervous when watching IG's BP, always thinking about whether there is any possibility of swinging.

At the same time, Flash Wolves also determined their heroes for the last two hands.

Azir, the Emperor of the Desert.

Kalista, the Spear of Vengeance.

The top lane is stable in the front row, the mid lane guarantees the middle and late stages, and the jungler and bottom lane are responsible for the rhythm in the early and mid-terms.

The Flash Wolves lineup is stable and fierce, and even any coach can't find fault with it.

And IG's last choice is...

"Point me in the direction, Valor!"

Demacia's Wings, Peeping in the Shadows!!!

"This?? Mid-lane Peeping in the Shadows?"

Wawa was stunned.

"It should be right, the mid-lane Quinn has a strong roaming ability, and Rookie has also played this hero in Rank, but in this case IG will be a knife team! There must be a big advantage in the early stage."

As soon as Miller finished speaking, when IG changed the lineup, the two commentators were stunned.

"IG on the red side:

Top laner TheShy: Eternal Nightmare - Mordekaiser

Jungler Yuanshen: Trundle, the Troll King

Mid laner Rookie: Quinn, the Wing of Demacia

Bottom laner JackeyLove: Jhin the Fate Master

Support Ming: Nautilus the Titan of the Deep

FW on the blue side:

Top laner MMD: Poppy the Hammer of Perseverance

Jungler Karsa: Olaf the Berserker

Mid laner Maple: Azir the Emperor of the Desert

Bottom laner NL: Kalista the Spear of Vengeance

Support SwordArt: Alistar the Minotaur Chieftain."

"No?? Can this hero of NOC also play top lane?"

"Why does TheShy play everything?"

"Shake, shake or not, that's the question."

"I'm dying of laughter, the red side's IG will never let you understand!"

...

The comments were full of discussion. Although they had known that IG would shake, it was still a bit unexpected that it swung like this.

"Miller, what do you say?" Wawa knew that he didn't understand the game well, so he quickly asked his brothers to support the scene.

"I can only say that it's very strong."

Miller thought carefully and said, "I haven't seen a NOC top laner, but it should be no problem to play Poppy. The key point is that this jungle matchup... Troll, it seems to be very restrained Olaf?"

In version 6.8, Olaf's ultimate skill has a new passive. After learning the ultimate skill, he will get a 20/30/40 double resistance bonus. After the ultimate skill is activated, the double resistance bonus disappears, and it is changed to control-free and increased attack power. When moving towards the enemy hero, there is also a speed-up effect.

Therefore, Olaf was officially promoted to a T1-level jungler, comparable to heroes such as Spider, Male Gun, and Kindred, and his early combat power is unstoppable.

However...

"If the hero Troll stands in his own territory, he is not afraid of Olaf at all. Even if Olaf activates his ultimate, he must bypass the pillars of the Troll. In the middle and late stages, when Olaf enters the field with his ultimate, he will be sucked by the Troll's ultimate and blocked by the pillars. It is easy to be melted directly and can't rush to the back row at all."

After Miller finished speaking, the doll next to him was amazed.

"Wow!! IG is well prepared!!"

As a supporting role, the doll only needs to control the field and shout 666.

...

"Haoxuan, you have been calculated!"

Maple muttered, the commentator can understand, so they can see more things.

"It's OK. They picked a troll to restrain me, and the price they paid was not small. This hero has poor ganking ability. You have displacement in the middle and bottom lanes, so you are not afraid at all. Just keep developing steadily. They are a team of novices. They can't deal with Poppy after 30 minutes."

"That's right. The lineup on the opposite side is ridiculous."

Maple smiled, "My Tsar has no pressure against Quinn. If we are on the bottom lane, our Skate Shoes Minotaur will also mess with the opposite side. It depends on you, Mr. Dan, you must hold on, don't be killed like a pig!"

Mr. Dan, that is, the top laner of Flash Wolves, MMD, his ID is the pinyin initials of three Chinese characters, namely Mimi Dan.

"Gan Linliang, Fengtang, you are really a motorcycle. No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!"

MMD rolled his eyes at him.

Damn, this group of weird teammates, I was already very nervous against TheShy, and they put pressure on me.

However, MMD was relieved when he thought that there was a stronger man on the opposite side who didn't play top lane but went to jungle.

However, it was the first time for him to play against a hero like Poppy against NOC.

MMD was confused now. He wanted to use Baidu to ask the omnipotent netizens how to use Poppy against Nightmare. Waiting online, very anxious.

The reading bar ended and both sides entered the Summoner's Rift.

The summoner skills and talents were very common. The only thing to pay attention to was the talent of NOC.

"Thunder Nightmare? This hero can also go for output flow to kill people?"

Both sides played normally.

Top lane NOC, this version actually does not have a talent that is perfectly suitable for Nightmare.

Like the Deadly Tempo and Blades in the S8 version, they are the best talents for Nightmare.

In S8, the jungle Nightmare suddenly became popular because of these two talents.

However, no one in LPL has ever played Nightmare in the top lane, but people in the European and American regions and LCK regions have played it and achieved good results.
