Chapter 168: The tragedy of the first-level group reappears! Pray: Something happened at home. My grandmother gave birth!
“ROX on the blue side, TOP1 on the red side!”

“The first round of BP has ended. It can be seen that ROX still respects Emolove very much. Not only did they ban Nidalee, they also banned the new hero who has not yet appeared in the game: Kaiying!”

The semi-finals will be held at the Shanghai Sports Center.

It just feels different to be ‘back home’.

First of all.

The audience in the venue are basically all the same people. Looking around, you can only see banners and cheering sticks supporting the TOP1 team. Only a few of the audience support the ROX team, and these audiences choose to support the ROX team because of Peanut’s good looks.

The banning and selection phase of the lineup is very long.

After all, the next step is the final stage of the global finals!

The coaches and players of both teams were unwilling to stop here.

While the blue team ROX was struggling with their first choice, the director turned the camera to the audience.

Many audience members have the TOP1 logo printed on their faces. After seeing their own faces appear on the big screen, those audience members not only do not feel shy, but even shout out the names of the contestants they support.

Despite having the double insurance of a soundproof room and soundproof headphones.

But everyone could still feel the enthusiasm of the audience.

“If nothing unexpected happens, Nofe will definitely give Galio to Kuro. I deliberately let Galio out, so there is no reason for Nofe not to choose it.”

kkoma looks very confident.

Although ROX was lucky, they won the rock-paper-scissors stage and got the priority to choose sides.

But kkoma is not an unknown person. He is naturally well prepared for this situation. He can even use the disadvantage of being on the red side to set a trap for ROX on the blue side!

Galio = Son of the version!

This understanding was confirmed by countless players and even coaches of professional teams in yesterday’s SKT vs. RNG!
Can.
Is it really the truth?
You should know that the team that first used Galio’s W flash mechanism in the game is them TOP1!

And when this mechanism was taken out.

Wang Yu has already discussed the corresponding restraint methods with kkoma.

otherwise.

Taking the initiative to bring out this unsolvable mechanism in the game and letting other teams copy it, while you yourself have no way to counter it, then this behavior is no different from seeking death!
The reason why I chose to use Galio’s W flash mechanism at MSI.

It was also discovered by kkoma and Wang Yu during the discussion that no matter how they tried to limit the targeting, Galio’s W flash mechanism was difficult to resolve.

Fortunately, the problem was discovered at the right time.

As long as they play Galio’s W flash mechanism in the MSI event.

Wait until the World Championship begins.

The designer will definitely optimize and modify this!

And the facts prove it.

Wang Yu and kkoma guessed right!
as predicted!

Less than half a month has passed since the MSI event ended.

Riot Games worked overtime and urgently released an update patch to remove the flash mechanism of Galio’s W.

After this patch is applied.

Although Galio is still very abnormal, he is not as unmanageable as before.

Don’t think that during the group stage and the quarterfinals, kkoma basically chose to ban Galio first regardless of the red or blue team.

That is actually just setting a trap for future semi-final and final opponents, making them think that they think Galio is unmanageable.

The only thing that puzzled kkoma was: “How do they know that you, Xiaoyu, have the killer move Kaiying?”

“Maybe it’s just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.” Wang Yu didn’t care about it.

BP is essentially a game.

After a few encounters, you will always guess right.

This unexpectedness was still within the acceptable range for Wang Yu and kkoma.

but
ROX was on the blue side but took the initiative to ban Nidalee.

This made kkoma feel vaguely uneasy.

Although he has left the LCK region.

However, the attention on the LCK region has not decreased.

Peanut’s playing style has changed dramatically in this year’s spring and summer seasons.

From only knowing how to attack last year to being able to sacrifice himself for the team this year.

It can be said that Peanut now has the ability to win the championship, and what he lacks is a group of teammates with equal strength.

“ROX chooses Nightmare!”

“That doesn’t make sense. TOP1 will definitely not give you the clockwork!”

Guan Zeyuan helped with the lineup analysis and selection phase.

Wawa and Miller were obviously much more relaxed.

The two of them were responsible for helping to add some information that Guan Zeyuan didn’t say.

“Peanut’s Nightmare. I rarely see it. This hero doesn’t rely on skill. It mainly tests the player’s awareness. If the ultimate skill is released at the right time, it can block the enemy player’s support!”

“Well, and once ROX’s Nightmare is picked, the jungle position is basically determined, which is good for TOP1!”

The three people in the commentary booth were still guessing wildly.

However, kkoma, who knew Nofe very well, curled up the corners of his mouth.

A nightmare of a choice!
This is not a routine at all. It is obvious that ROX has no routine at all and can only use a coordinated lineup to play the game.

“It seems like they have used up all their trump cards in the quarterfinals.” Kkoma looked down at the small notebook in his hand, and then said, “We can’t give them the clockwork. Since they want to play with each other, then we will compete with them in cooperation!”

Clockwork + Prince!

It’s Blue’s turn again.

ROX is obviously much faster.

He instantly selected the rat and also took the support.

Jewel Knight!

An extremely unpopular support who hardly ever appears on the field!

And when the ROX bottom lane duo lineup was determined.

Kkoma’s smile also disappeared a little: “It’s quite interesting. I didn’t expect Nofe to come up with this lineup?”

He originally thought that ROX picked Nightmare to pave the way for Clockwork, but now it seems to be paving the way for Twitch. The ultimate move of Jewel is also to give Twitch/Nightmare invincibility in team battles.

Nightmare’s ultimate skill is used to limit the enemy’s vision.

By then.

No matter whether the rat goes around or not, it will definitely wait until the gem’s ultimate move falls and the invincibility time takes effect before it appears!

How long does a team fight last?

The 2.5-second invincibility effect is enough for the rat to deal tons of damage and help the team end the battle!
“Rat is Pray’s famous hero! And with the ultimate skills of Nightmare and Jewel covering him, Rat’s output pressure in team battles is not that great!”

Guan Zeyuan also saw the intention of ROX’s first three choices.

only.

Unlike kkoma, he couldn’t find a solution.

“I can take Shen in the top lane, and in team fights I will focus on Twitch.” Duke said at this time.

But after thinking carefully for a moment.

Kkoma still shook his head: “No, let’s choose according to the original lineup. Although Shen can indeed limit Twitch in team battles, our lineup is not short of output at all. Instead, we need the front row to attract firepower!”

“Okay then.” Duke shrugged, not discouraged by kkoma’s rejection of his idea.

For him, it doesn’t matter which top lane hero he chooses.

As long as we can win!

Can enter the finals!

That’s OK!
TOP1 on the third floor then locked on the expected hero.

When the doll saw this, it shouted: “Wow!”

“Ornn?! This seems to be the first time that the TOP1 has used this hero in a competition!” Miller asked while turning his head to look at Guan Zeyuan, waiting for the ‘Encyclopedia’ to answer.

Guan Zeyuan nodded slightly: “That’s right! This is indeed the first time that TOP1 has taken out the new hero Ornn!”

The opponents in the group stage and the quarterfinals are not strong.

Compared to SKT, which used all its killer moves, and ROX, which was almost sniped by the explosive team.

TOP1 made it all the way to the semi-finals, and the opponents were not particularly strong, so the lineups used in the game were basically repetitive.

Even if the opponent has some analysis, it is difficult to find a countermeasure.

After all, those lineups are too common and can be used by any team participating in the World Championship.

Nofe was indeed lucky as he accidentally banned the jungler Kaiying, who Wang Yu was supposed to use in the first game, but he didn’t expect that Duke still had a trump card in the top lane, Ornn!

soon.

The second round of BP is over.

The lineups of both teams have also been finalized.

Blue side ROX:

Top lane – Gnar
Jungle – Nightmare
Mid laner – Galio

ADC – Mouse
Auxiliary Gems
Red side TOP1:

Top lane – Ornn
Jungler – Prince
Mid laner – Clockwork
ADC – Draven

Support – Thresh
As the game enters the loading interface.

Guan Zeyuan continued to chatter: “This TOP1 lineup is a bit like Rank, right? There are actually quite a lot of ADC choices for the bottom lane, like Tristana, Ezreal, and Annie, who are basically all on the sidelines, but Imp chose Draven, which is a bit unexpected!”

“Don’t say that! If Draven develops well, he can kill Gem in three hits, and Gem can’t use his ultimate skill at all!” Wawa began to fantasize about a better future as usual.

“I just don’t know if Imp’s proficiency in Draven is good enough. This hero’s upper limit is extremely high, and the lower limit is also very outrageous!” Miller showed a worried look on his face.

It’s not surprising that Miller would think so.

After all, it was before this.

imp has never used Draven even once in the league.

First, the version does not allow it. Second, the TOP1 has been hiding this ADC until now.

Outside players and even commentators have no idea that Imp can also play Draven, an ADC that is completely different from traditional ADCs!

When the EDG players who were eliminated and became sparring partners saw this scene, the expressions on their faces were very interesting.

“How cruel! You want to break the mentality of the ROX players in the first game?” Mingkai said while shaking his body, as if he thought of something horrible.

“What a pity. If Kaiying hadn’t been banned, this would have been the original TOP1 lineup.” A trace of disappointment appeared on Abu’s face.

But then.

Abu laughed again: “It doesn’t matter. After this game, ROX will definitely not have a ban position for Kaiying in the second game. We can still see Xiaoyu’s Kaiying!”

“I really want to see what expressions these ROX players will have when Yu Ge’s Kaiying appears!” Meiko said with great anticipation.

“They’ll be scared to death!”

Deft’s guess caused everyone to nod frequently.

Game loading completed.

Enter Summoner’s Rift!
“Come on, damn dogs! Brothers!”

Wang Yu shouted, and the light curtain dissipated at the same time.

For an instant.

Everyone bought their equipment and rushed out of the base together.

From God’s perspective.

The players on both teams had great tacit understanding and chose to fight at level one.

ROX has Galio and Ruby, two players who can provide stable + group control. There is no reason not to try to invade the jungle and gain early vision for their jungler Nightmare.

TOP1 has to fight in the level 400 team fight. If Draven can get the first blood and gold in the beginning, the laning phase in the bottom lane can basically be declared over early!
even.

It is entirely possible for Draven to break through the bottom lane directly.

When the benefits far outweigh the risks, give it a try!
“I’m useless in the first level group, don’t worry about me, just protect me, puff, and then.”

Wang Yu hadn’t finished speaking yet.

On the mini map.

A series of signals jingled!

The entrance to the river.

The five ROX players are grouped together and are actively heading towards the red side’s blue BUFF camp!

Just when the suspicious GorillA was about to walk away, he suddenly placed a ward in the bushes behind the wall of the middle lane tower.

The prince, who was hiding in the grass and dared not move, was immediately exposed to the sight of ROX!

Too late to say.

Hurry then!
GorillA doesn’t even need to give any instructions.

Kuro was extremely decisive. He flashed directly to the opponent’s face, charged up his W skill and released it in seconds!

The prince was immediately ridiculed by Galio.

next second.

Jewel used the E skill and moved closer to the prince’s face.

As long as the control chain is formed.

The prince is doomed to die, and even if he uses flash, it may be a death flash!

The best choice is to wait for death!

Just when the LPL audience outside the stadium commented that Wang Yu was doomed to die.
A brilliant golden light flashed and lit up the Three Wolf Camp!

Accompanying.

There is also the successful release action of Ornn’s E skill!
【Burning Charge】!
It is similar to the effect of Galio’s E skill release now, but the premise for Ornn to exert control is that he must crash into the terrain, which will knock away all targets within 350 yards except friendly forces!

Except for Galio and Jewel who escaped the disaster by running face to face with the Prince.

Nightmare and the other two ranged DPS, who had just used the Q skill and were stepping on the Shadow Path and had not yet reached the Prince, were knocked away by Ornn’s E skill!
at the same time.

Draven swaggered out of the fog of war, the axe in his hand spinning.

Thresh also twirled the chain sickle in his hand.

The two of them were like the black and white evil spirits of the underworld.

Without waiting for the mouse to land.

Draven’s normal attack with the Q skill has already been launched out.

Go out with full attack power runes and a long sword.

Draven has nearly 80 attack points at level , and this one strike directly took away nearly one-fifth of the rat’s health!
Thresh timed it well and used the counter attack from EA to knock down one-fifth of the Rat’s health!
The knock-up effect ends but the slowing effect remains.

The rat subconsciously used flash, climbed over the wall and came to the TOP1 blue BUFF camp.

This flash is a hand.

Either Draven had to flash and continue chasing the rat, or he could only watch the rat escape.

And the front.

Nightmare has arrived in front of the prince, and Nar is also throwing boomerangs.

The one-for-one trade is not a win for ROX, but it is definitely not a loss either.

Pray is actually ready to withstand the pressure.

But did not expect
TOP1 is like a precision instrument!
A head that is 100% within reach and can be eaten.

Draven chose to ignore it, picked up the axe at the landing point, and continued to move towards the other four ROX members!

front.

The prince’s health has reached the bottom after recovering his mobility.

Just when everyone thought the prince was going to die.

The prince suddenly used his W skill.

[Golden Shield] successfully slowed down three people, and the shield amount reached an astonishing 100 points!
To know.

The basic health of a first-level prince is only 570!

A shield value of 100 points is enough for the prince to flash over the wall and return to his own tower!

but.
But the prince didn’t do that!

The Clockwork who rushed over from the middle lane quickly learned the E skill and put another layer of shield on the Prince!
Double resistance is improved.

Facing the concentrated firepower of four people, the Prince insisted on waiting for the support of Draven and Thresh!
After completing his passive attack, Gem walked towards Draven, wanting to weaken him and limit his output.

And this is exactly what Wang Yu wanted to see!

“Concentrate your fire! Kill Nightmare first!”

Wang Yu decisively commanded everyone, raised his hand and hit Nightmare with a passive basic attack before flashing over the wall.

The low-health prince completely lost his combat effectiveness.

But ROX is in a worse situation.

Because they poured all their skills on the Prince, they wanted to continue to fight in the team, but they were unable to fight against Clockwork and Draven, two heroes who relied on basic attacks to output in the early stage!

“Let’s use our flash,” GorillA said with a sigh.

Actually.

From the moment Pray was forced to flash.

He had a premonition.

This level 1 team fight on our side will completely explode!
But GorillA felt that as long as he could kill the Prince, it didn’t matter even if Draven got a kill.

After all, it doesn’t matter whether the prince’s head was taken by Nightmare or not.

As long as we can get Nightmare to level 6 first, it will be a huge help to the team!
pity.

Not only did he fail to kill the prince instantly, but he might also die at the hands of Draven!

【first drop of blood! 】

Draven, who charged the axe in advance, was still able to receive the axe even though he had a weakness buff on him.

Double axe rotation.

The weakness duration ends.

Draven’s combat effectiveness reached its peak at this time!
After killing the gem, Imp did not hesitate at all and decisively used Flash to continue chasing Nightmare, who had been reduced to low health by the concentrated fire of Ornn and Clockwork.

War enthusiasm is full!

Another axe strike!

【Double kill! 】

Thresh immediately used flash, and when the second E skill was over, he used another reverse E to slow down Gnar.

Draven caught up and killed him quickly!

【Triple kill! 】

This is the end.

The first level group is completely over!

ROX’s group invasion not only failed to gain any advantage over TOP1, but also resulted in an extremely painful price!
“Oh my god!!! Emolove’s Jarvan is so resilient! He can even survive this!!!” Several commentators from the LCS region shouted in shock.

“Wan La! Why is ROX so desperate to pick on Emolove? This is a game-ending start! Draven can just go home and buy the Storm Sword!” Several commentators from the LCK region wailed.

“Beautiful! A perfect textbook counterattack scene! Emolove learned the W skill in seconds and released it at perfect timing! Not only did he buy himself nearly two seconds of breathing time, but he also delayed ROX’s retreat!” Guan Zeyuan was extremely excited.

“Like to fight? Everyone knows that the LPL region is best at fighting!!!” Wawa became more and more excited as he spoke: “Come on! If you dare, continue fighting in the bottom lane! Draven will teach you how to behave with three axes!”

“Ornn’s flash E was also very crucial. If it weren’t for Duke knocking three people away, Emolove would most likely not have survived the first wave of focus fire.” Miller was equally excited.

The audience in the live broadcast room started cheering when imp got the first blood.

[Oh shit! Oh shit! Does ROX think they can’t beat TOP1, so they just give up! ]

[Draven started with 3/0 Storm Sword, I don’t know how to lose!!!]

【Pray: Something happened at home! My baby has given birth! 】

Sorry, sorry. The weather is getting cold and I’m reluctant to get out of bed. Please remember to put on some clothes and don’t catch a cold.
