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

Chapter 212 - TheShy's trump card

One chase, five, sniping at the middle gate!

The first game of the MSI semi-finals saw two famous scenes!

The first game ended at 26 minutes and 58 seconds.

Jack was a bit miserable. His EZ was 0/3/4, the lowest KDA in the team.

The number of deaths accounted for three quarters of the team.

There was no way.

He was like an orphan in this game. All the resources, kills, etc. were taken by the top, mid and jungle brothers. The red buff in this game was eaten by TheShy, leaving him nothing. Even Ming left him in the end and followed behind Jayce to get assists.

As soon as the game ended, various emoticons about this Jayce were photoshopped.

For example, the Hextech hammer in Jayce's hand was photoshopped into the skin of Pulsefire Ezreal.

Not only that, Jayce's head was replaced with Yuan Shen's confident smile, and the head of the future warrior in his hand was replaced with Jack's face, and a cute Q-version baby pacifier was added, with two goddess tears flowing from his eyes.

Below it was written, Jack, don't be afraid, just lie down, Dad will hold you for revenge.

It was so vivid, especially the two goddess tears were the finishing touch.

There are many other interesting photos, but the most popular one is undoubtedly this one.

During the ten minutes of the halftime break, thousands of related pictures were probably produced worldwide.

Especially in China, the topic of this semi-final was directly on the hot search list of major social software! !

IG's top and jungle are swinging!

SKT refused TheShy to join!

The former world's number one top laner!

All major forums are discussing this game...

In the SKT training room, the atmosphere of the players was a little depressed.

In the first game, the situation cannot be said to be one-sided, but the way of losing is very uncomfortable.

Neither side used any special system in this game, just the regular lineup, and the result was that they were at a disadvantage before ten minutes.

Could it be that IG's strongest form is actually Yuan Shen on the top and TheShy on the jungle?

No, it's not.

They would rather believe that this is TheShy's counterattack against them, mocking them for giving up TheShy in the first place.

They lost the first game, what does this prove?

It proves that if the regular lineup is used, relying solely on hard power, the current SKT is not IG's opponent.

Even IG is not in the strongest state.

Other lanes are okay, they can maintain a balance, and if Bang in the bottom lane gets the resources of his teammates, he can also play an advantage.

But the opponent's top laner Yuanshen is simply nonsense.

Haven't you played top lane for half a year? ?

How can you still carry? ?

Isn't the mainstream of this version the top laner of the three mythical gods?

Now, the role played by the top laners of almost all teams is nothing more than taking on some tankiness, choosing heroes with strong functional roles, or starting a team fight, or solo carrying.

Why can Yuanshen bring out such a strong carry ability when he brings out a counter-version output-type top laner! !

Jayce has been strengthened. None of the three mythical gods can be Jayce's opponent in pure laning, but Jayce's fault tolerance rate is too low!

In the eyes of professional teams that always seek stability, low fault tolerance rate and counter-version are the same in most cases.

Thinking of the devil Jayce in the last game, Bang tends to have a headache again.

Kkoma has sharp eyes and immediately noticed Bang's abnormality. He hurried over and pressed Bang's shoulder and said: "In the first game, we originally had the purpose of testing. We don't have to care about winning or losing. Moreover, if it weren't for the routine of the first group, you wouldn't necessarily lose. At least, Jayce's advantage wouldn't be so big..."

Kkoma also knew that this reason was a bit untenable.

In the first group, SKT did lose a lot, but this was by no means the main reason for the collapse of the whole game.

The top, middle and jungle were completely suppressed by the opponent, this is the key point.

Kkoma quickly changed the subject and said, "In the second game, let's use the lineup we carefully studied... Yuanshen is very confident, so we will use his confidence to win this game."

This sentence finally aroused the fighting spirit of the SKT team.

Yes, during this period of time, in these five days, they carefully conceived a routine, and played a lot of training games with ROX, with an overall winning rate of 70%. This routine is absolutely feasible!

Don't underestimate this 70%. In the first few games, the Tigers did not win a single game. After making targeted responses later, they only had a winning rate of less than 30%.

The BP of the second game started soon. In this game, the two sides exchanged sides, IG on the blue side and SKT on the red side.

The famous legend of the undefeated red side of LPL also spread to major regions around the world with this MSI.

IG on the blue side banned the nurse, Ryze, and Leblanc.

And SKT on the red side banned Zyra, Graves, and Kindred.

Zyra was banned, and IG naturally grabbed the Minotaur.

As the top support player in this version, Xiao Ming is also very proficient in playing Minotaur.

Later, SKT grabbed Olaf, the top player in the jungle, and Twisted Fate in the bottom lane.

Neither side revealed the core of their system at the beginning, and neither side could figure out the other's ideas for the time being.

Fumanduo touched his chin, pondered for a moment and then said: "Continue to be stronger with the version."

The advantage of the blue side lies in being able to grab heroes with version advantages.

Regardless of ban position, if the version-advantage hero is one, five or nine, the blue side will have the upper hand.

But if there are three version advantages, or seven version advantages, the red side is stronger.

This is the current version.

There are too many heroes that can be played in S6, and the ban position is in short supply, so the blue side's advantage is infinitely reduced, and it is far less flexible than the red side's counter position.

IG's second and third moves locked the Tsar and the Troll respectively.

"This BP move is good! In the previous group match against Flash Wolves, the Troll has proved to be a restraint on Olaf. In subsequent games, some teams also learned from this jungle troll move, and they all showed good results. "

"Yes, and Troll is also a swing position, and can be used as a top laner or support player."

The commentators praised this pick, but so far, IG's selections have been within SKT's expectations.

"Take it, you can show it." Kkoma took a deep breath.

The core of SKT's system was revealed.

Time Keeper Kieran.

The Revealed Karma.

"Here it comes! SKT's four-guarantee-one system!"

Wawa said cautiously: "After banning Ryze and Enchantress, Faker brought out Old Man Time and cooperated with Wheel Mom and Karma to form a three-speed acceleration system. Although their lineup did not start a team, the impact was very strong. , His team fighting ability is not weak either.”

"Yes, this system can be said to be SKT's best."

Miller said: "The last counter position is reserved for the top laner. I don't know what TheShy will play in this game."

"I think Kennen is good. The cave sucker is a bit weak against the opponent's lineup. The pull ability is too strong. It is difficult to find the time for the cave sucker to enter the field in team battles."

IG is also in trouble.

The blue side's BP is too passive. No matter what they choose, the red side has the possibility of a comeback.

When there are trolls and bull heads, there is no need to consider the three phantom gods.

Sword Lady is a good choice, but not as good as Kennen.

"Vampire."

TheShy said suddenly.

"Sure?"

Yuan Shen raised his eyebrows.

The hero Vampire is another trump card he created for TheShy.

He's shown it since the All-Star break.

This trump card has never been used by TheShy.

Because the hero Vampire is somewhat inconsistent with the current version of the linkage trend of midfielders and auxiliaries.

Of course, the top lane vampire is another story.

"Okay, take it then."

Fumanduo patted TheShy on the shoulder, and he also placed hope on this junior.

TheShy's talent ranks among the top three among all the players he has ever seen.

IG's last two moves locked Lucian and the Hole Sucker.

"vampire!"

Everyone in the SKT player booth had their pupils constricted for a moment.

Duke even recalled bad memories.

During the All-Star Game, Yuan Shen defeated his captain with a hole-sucking ghost. What happens again this time?

"They won't change places again, right?? Is this Yuanshen's vampire or TheShy's??"

Duke felt a huge headache.

"Give Karma to Haocheng and choose another assistant."

Faker thought for a while and made a decision.

Duke can play the hero Karma.

And it’s pretty good to play.

It’s not just IG that swings.

With the support of the player hero pool, any team can swing.

The advantage of the red side will also be greater.

"Karma... okay."

Duke sighed helplessly.

He really didn't expect that the opponent would be able to bring out this hero.

However, Karma has a great laning advantage against vampires.

…

SKT's last move exceeded everyone's expectations.

They supplemented their control and front row, and chose...

Bronn? ?

The audience was immediately in an uproar.

Braum will be restrained by some soft supports in lane, but he is not afraid of hard-hitting supports such as female tanks and Niutou.

There is really nothing wrong with taking it out to hit a bull's head.

But... top laner Karma? ?

Are you swinging too? ?

The final lineups of both sides were determined.

IG blue side: vampire, troll, tsar, Lucian, bull head

SKT red side: Kalma, Olaf, Time, Wheel Mom, Braum.

In the last move, Kalma was moved to the top lane to choose Braum, which made full use of the red side's rear counter rights.

Even when Yuan Shen saw it, he could only admire it.

"Is Karma easy to beat the hole-sucker?"

the doll asked blankly.

He is not a professional player, nor does he play top lane, so he is not very familiar with this hero matchup.

"It's pretty easy to beat."

Miller also plays top lane and knows more or less.

"The E skill shield and acceleration are exchanged for blood. Vampires can't win in any way. They can't suck blood. Even if they level up, Karma will not be afraid of a wave of attacks with RW."

Most of the heroes who have R skills at level one are strong early laners.

This is true for Karma, Leopard, Spider, and Jace.

Karma's ultimate move, Mantra, can strengthen any skill of QWE.

The effect of the W skill is to set up a spiritual chain with the enemy hero, causing continuous damage. If the chain is not destroyed, the target hero will be imprisoned in place.

After the mantra is strengthened, it can instantly heal 20% of Karma's lost health. If the second stage effect is triggered, the same amount of health can be restored, and the imprisonment time will be extended by 0.75 seconds.

Two effects restore nearly 40% of life. What is the concept?

Can a vampire's Red Fury Q suck out 20% of Karma's blood in the early stage?

Obviously not.

Coupled with the shield of the E skill and the damage of the Q skill, it is impossible for the vampire to exchange blood for Karma in any case.

The most important thing is that the vampire's blood pool cannot avoid Karma's W. Even if it is a blood pool, W can trigger the second phase of the imprisonment effect. If used in conjunction with the jungle, it is easy to catch the vampire to death.

"SKT also learned it and let them swing."

Jack looked depressed.

IG has not suffered a loss on BP for a long time.

Even on the blue side, few teams have the tactical depth and hero pool to match IG's.

For example, SKT has an advantage in the matchup in the early, middle and late stages of the matchup, and this year it has not happened even once.

Yuan Shen frowned.

This game is a bit difficult.

When top teams collide, BP determines 70% of the outcome.

It's not that you can't fight at all, just surrender to the next one.

It's just that if IG fights, you will suffer some losses.

…

"SKT's lineup has double acceleration at the beginning of the team, and time and space for counterattacks. The ability to draw team battles and protect the back row is perfect."

"With the combination of Olaf and Karma in the early stage, the four-guarantee-one system is formed in the mid-term, and the combat effectiveness is not weak. In the later stage, SKT's teamfighting ability will become stronger."

Wawa, Miller and Wang Duoduo are also discussing the lineups of both sides.

IG's BP is at a disadvantage this time and is relatively passive. This is their unanimous consensus.

Especially the vampire aspect was targeted.

When the vampire is at its strongest, it is the terrifying AOE ability after the three-piece equipment set is formed in the mid-term, and the ability to disrupt team battles.

In the mid-term team battle, it will take at least ten seconds to kill a vampire who makes no mistakes.

And within these ten seconds, if you get too close to the vampire, you will suffer tons of AOE damage.

What about weaknesses?

It is too weak in the early stage, and basically cannot be beaten by anyone online. It is difficult to enter the field due to short hands, and it is afraid of kiting in team battles.

In the later stage, it only has blood and no resistance, and it is easy to be killed by a few shots from the ADC equipped by Liushen.

Fatan heroes like Crow, Vampire, and Ryze can only be regarded as mid- to late-game heroes.

In the late stage, it is still the ADC who dominates the game.

SKT has everything vampires are afraid of.

Not only is Karma's counter choice, SKT's entire system has a bit of a counter vampire, from laning to teamfighting...

"It's better to choose Kenan."

Yuan Shen shook his head.

But it doesn’t matter. Since TheShy wants to use vampires, he naturally has his considerations.

What else could he say?

Of course it's trust.

The game started quickly. Both sides quickly bought their starting equipment, and then SKT directly launched a wave of first-level team invasion.

IG was already on guard against this wave of invasion and did not let SKT take advantage.

With the three first-level team leaders Olaf, Karma, and Braum around, IG has no idea of ​​joining the battle.

SKT, on the other hand, only wandered around IG's lower half of the jungle. Seeing that there was no unexpected gain, they lost a few visions and returned to their own jungle.

Both sides started normally.

Yuan Shen took a special look at TheShy's going out outfit.

Dolan shield, teleportation, flash.

A mediocre choice.

He brought Ignite during the All-Stars because the version had just been updated and the damage of the ultimate talent had not been weakened yet, and he was confident that he could kill the captain.

But now facing Karma, teleportation is naturally more useful.
