Chapter 154: First Round Clash
The camera gives the explanation.
The director then gave the overall data of the two teams.
"The average game time for LNG is 34.13 points, which shows that LNG likes to drag the game process to a later time."
Maomao glanced at the screen and said, "BLG's time was much shorter, 26 minutes, ranking first in the league. The dragon rate was similar for both sides, but the tower rate was much higher for BLG."
"Yes, it's mainly because of the Vanguard control rate. BLG has reached a terrifying 88%, which shows that BLG rarely gives up the right to fight for the Vanguard.
In addition, BLG’s 15-minute lead rate and lead win rate both reached 98%, which seems too scary, but it is understandable, after all, BLG only lost one small game in this summer season. "
Guan Zeyuan: "Anyway, the data doesn't mean anything. Today's game still depends on the state of both sides."
"Here it comes. The long-awaited closeness rate between BLG's various positions and the jungler. Top laner has the lowest closeness rate, while mid laner has the highest closeness rate. It's no surprise."
While the commentator was talking about the data, the director kept scanning the camera across the players' faces.
Gala did the classic honest man snapping his fingers, and viewers who have studied psychology could clearly see that Scout was under a lot of pressure and kept touching his nose and rubbing his eyes.
"Come on, Scout, the fourth championship is coming soon."
"Gala, go for it, we must cover the bottom line."
“Zika is invincible.”
Kirin fans were worried when they saw the condition of their team members, but they still cheered for them with all their might.
After a year, I have received both criticism and praise, and I have finally made it to the end with difficulty, so I must not give up at the last step.
Otherwise, we can't help it.
Soon, the director cut into the BP screen.
Guan Zeyuan: "Because BLG had the advantage of winning the group, they got the priority to choose the side and took the initiative to move to the blue side. BLG's first two bans were very scientific, with Weapons and Virus."
"LNG thought clearly and directly banned Crocodile and Kai'Sa. This is the disadvantage of the red team. Although these heroes are good, the opponent can grab them."
"Then let's say BLG bans Leblanc in the third round, and LNG bans Tristana, banning both sides' signature characters."
Wawa: "But Jayce and Maokai are both outside now. Should BLG grab one first or let the opponent take it?"
BLG on the first floor switched back and forth between Jayce and the tree.
Guan Zeyuan: "I think if you are confident in your Jayce, you should grab Jayce first, and you can give the big tree to the opponent."
A few seconds passed, and as the camera showed Xia Sen's smile, Jace locked on.
Maomao: "So, LNG needs to be made from big trees or something."
Before he could finish, LNG instantly locked Xayah and Rakan on the first and second floors.
"We still have to choose to protect the bottom lane. In fact, I think the main reason is that LNG doesn't dare to let go of the on position. Don't you think so?"
Guan Zeyuan understands very well.
Then BLG selected Jinx and Trek on the second and third floors.
LNG adds Neeko on the third floor.
Wawa: "In fact, LNG's first three picks are also what they often use. Xayah and Rakan paired with Neeko can often have a very good ability to end the game in the mid-term. However, BLG is a little more stable. Picking Jinx guarantees a late-stage pick."
"LNG dares to make such a choice against BLG? Shouldn't they just wait and see for the pure late-game lineup?"
"LNG has figured it out. To play against BLG, they need to learn from IG's frequent fights in the mid-game. They can beat the old master with random punches, right?"
"It's been a while since I've seen BLG use this mid-jungle deck. You know, Jayce and Trident were popularized by Xia Shen."
"In the end, it was stolen by Scout and became his trademark, haha."
Then, the second round of bans.
Hang and Poppy had a crazy conversation, the general meaning of which was to ban the two soft supports, otherwise they would suffer a great disadvantage in the later stage.
in the screen.
BLG gave two bans to Sejuani and Nightmare, and could no longer use LNG's stronger junglers for initiating or following team fights.
LNG crushed Miliogalulu.
On the fourth floor of LNG, according to the predictions of the three commentators, Zika will routinely get Quesanti, in fact, judging from the playoffs.
Zika is really like Kui in the left hand and Crocodile in the right hand. The main reason is that LNG's system can't really support him playing heroes that are too hard-working.
Otherwise, Zika's Fiora is also a signature among signatures. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why he is the top bidder this year is because of the effect of his several displays of swords in IG last year.
"I don't think we need to force a soft support. They want to play in the mid-game. Our mid and jungle are not weak in combat. How about supporting Tam?"
Xia Sen communicated with everyone.
tabe: "I think so too. In this game, Jinx can only play Tam. The rest of the soft supports are useless."
So, BLG locked Tam on the fourth floor, and on the fifth floor, after hesitating for a long time, attacked Quesanti.
Guan Zeyuan: "Tahm Kench is not afraid of Xayah and Rakan. The bot lane is almost evenly matched. He can also keep the C position at the critical moment. It all depends on Bin on the fifth floor."
"It's locked. If they choose to use Poppy, then BLG's lineup is not just to drag the game to the late stage. They need to fight hard in the mid-term. And Poppy is very restrained against LNG's entry, including Neeko's rocket belt."
At the battle seat.
Poppy was actually happy to see this situation, as mid-game fighting was their main purpose.
The reason for this choice is that BLG is sometimes even better than IG, and they like to join the team in the late game. This allows Poppy to determine the idea of the first BP very early.
Seeing BLG's lineup, Poppy felt more stable. The opponent wanted to attack in the mid-term, but the strength of the heroes on both sides was not the same. He had confidence in his teammates.
Maybe BLG's IDs can manipulate others, but it is still not realistic to manipulate LNG.
Guan Zeyuan frowned, realizing that things were not that simple: "Then I'm wondering what hero Tazan is going to use? The heroes we picked are all forward-moving, but the more useful Pig Girl and Nightmare are gone."
“Want to take the monkey in this version?”
Maomao: "It's mainly because BLG's fifth floor is too pretty. They took away Tarzan's Poppy. Now there are no better front-line heroes."
Wawa: "Locked. In this case, LNG's teamfight ceiling is very high. However, BLG has Poppy, so LNG has to be careful."
"Scout, Neeko can beat Jayce, right?"
Poppy asked, still feeling uneasy.
In this matchup, generally speaking, Neeko is very good, but the opponent's ID, and the exaggerated method of using Jayce to fight Knight's Neeko in the Spring Finals, forced Poppy to explain Scout again.
"We can win. I don't need too much advantage in this laning phase. We just need to control the dragon in the front and then fight with the dragon soul." Scout is very optimistic. What is there to be afraid of now that we have come this far?
However, Scout used some of his own understanding on the runes.
The LPL summer finals attracted attention from all major regions.
In T1, Faker also rarely squeezed out training time today and waited to watch this game.
"BLG's BP is too improvisational," Faker murmured. Compared to the formula BP, this kind of BP can make people more uneasy because you are not sure what tricks he will come up with next.
For example, this Bobby, has Brother Bin played it this year?
But you snatched it away anyway, and LNG's plan fell through. They had no choice but to choose a more adverse version of Monkey King, and they had to depend on Poppy's mood when entering the field.
Back to the game.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
BLG (blue) Poppy, Maokai, Jayce, bottom lane Jinx (purification) Gatam (healing).
LNG (red) Quesanti, Monkey King, Neeko, bottom lane Xayah (purification) Rakan (ignite).
"Come on BLG!"
“Come on LNG!”
The cheers of the two teams were already quarreling with each other in the audience.
However, it can be clearly heard that the voices cheering for LNG are mostly female, and they are quite sharp.
loading phase.
Xia Sen communicated: "I should be on the level line in front of me, but it's not easy to play 2v2 in the middle and jungle, Coach Xun, it's not easy to fight for the river crab."
elk also echoed: "The opponent's bottom lane likes to let the line go, but they won't let it go in the first three waves. They will definitely fight for this river crab."
"It's okay. I can play Treant slowly. You guys should align the lines first. We don't need to find the rhythm this time. The offensive pressure is on the opponent."
One level.
Xia Sen bought Doran's Shield and took Phase and the secondary Resurrection to offset the consumption of Neeko in the beginning.
And Scout's runes were also discovered by the commentator.
"Hey, Scout chose Ellie." Wawa was still thinking.
Guan Zeyuan gave an uncertain answer: "I think Scout thought Jayce would use Q to dodge the comet, so he simply didn't bring it. Does that make sense?"
"That makes sense. I still remember this matchup in the Spring Finals. Knight's comet hit rate was only 8%. So, it seems that Scout understands."
Both sides stand normally, start normally, and the jungler goes to the bottom to farm. Double-sided Quesanti fights Poppy, whoever goes will be the clown.
The eye position that Xia Sen set in advance at F6 was to detect Monkey King's start.
When on the middle lane, Xia Sen starts to attack the minions crazily. In this game, you still can't let go of the line. It will be very uncomfortable to be pressed in the tower by Neeko, so you must push the line out in the front, at least keep a balanced state when running on the line.
From the scout's perspective, he knew it was difficult to seize the lane of the opponent's ID, so he chose a more conservative style of play. He did not go up to exchange blood, but took his time with Jayce by attacking the minions.
When faced with Neeko's first Q, Xia Sen had no intention of dodging. She just stayed away from the pile of soldiers and switched to the hammer and added double resistance the moment she was hit by the Q. In this way, the start of the game was basically following this idea.
After reaching level 2, Neeko took a step forward and exchanged basic attacks with Jayce, and it was this action that allowed Xia Sen to seize the opportunity.
Generally speaking, the benefits of Neeko learning W at level 2 will be much higher, and the blood exchange is basically free, but for Scout, who was facing the A in the face without activating W, there was only one situation: he learned E and wanted to use a big attack while he was pushing the line.
The risks and rewards are high.
boom!
Jayce hammered the ranged soldier, and Scout subconsciously prepared to press E, but he couldn't grasp Jayce's thoughts. What if Jayce was just hammering him to trick him into using his skills?
But Jayce immediately switched to cannon and used AW three times in an instant, triggering Phase Rush. At this time, if Scout wanted to use E again, he would be pulled back by the high movement speed brought by Phase Rush.
Next, Neeko turned around and finished her Q and was ready to pull away, but Jayce took advantage of the speed difference and chased her and hit her three more times, causing Neeko to lose half of her health and have to take red potions.
Guan Zeyuan subconsciously wanted to look at the doll next to him. He wanted to see the surprise in the other's eyes.
"Ah? What does Scout mean? Was Neeko poisoned by Jace?"
"You know what? Jayce has so many blue shields and revives, so it's no pressure for him to be hit by Neeko's Q. I thought Scout's understanding was very useful, but it seems to have some side effects."
Some people are watching the game, while others are looking in the mirror.
To be honest, Knight didn't quite approve of Scout bringing Ellie when he saw her.
Ellie's talent can only be effective when attacking someone, but how can Neeko fight against Jayce? To be honest, just using skills to attack is not as good as one of Comet's.
Even if the comet has a low hit rate, one hit is equivalent to three or four hits by Ellie.
And although Jayce can use Q to dodge, this will undoubtedly increase Jayce's mana consumption. After all the calculations, Comet is still better.
Xia Sen did not expect this kind of start. He did not understand what Scout was doing. The top leader's hands were shaking and he could not open his eyes?
In this way, Jayce doesn't have to keep attacking, and can stock up on lanes and wait for the third wave of lanes.
3 minutes and 10 seconds of crab.
Guan Zeyuan: "Xun came up directly after brushing. This is to put down the river crab. There is no other way. LNG's line right in the bottom lane is a bit stable. Although Jayce in the middle lane can come first, Neeko is not slow either. The risk of a 2v2 fight between the mid and jungle is too great."
"Yeah, the main thing is that Jayce is very comfortable in the lane right now. He's not being suppressed at all. There's no need to put pressure on him."
At 4 minutes, the middle lane exchanged a big set of skills, and Jayce directly destroyed the blue bar. As we all know, the first thing he does when fighting is to take drugs.
But Jayce didn't take it, and both sides returned to the city at the same time with low health, but Scout's two bottles of medicine were all used up, and Jayce got four more kills.
After this back and forth, according to the Canyon Relativity, the economic lead is more than 200.
Sometimes, the gap in the mid lane is created in this way.
The accumulation of various details can always form a huge advantage.
After coming back online, Xia Sen made Goddess's Tear and Straw Sandals. Movement speed is very important in this game.
Peaceful development to 5 minutes and 30 seconds.
The camera cut to the middle lane, and we saw Jayce hammering forward, but what the director didn't show was the shot where Jayce had just twisted Neeko's E a few seconds ago.
With the enemy hammering at him like this, Neeko could only use W to pull back. Seeing that she couldn't push the minion line forward, Scout started to get anxious.
At this point, the most perfect rhythm for LNG is to attack the dragon first, but the middle lane has no lane rights and no advantage.
Tazan looked at the situation in the middle lane and frowned subconsciously.
Why is this different from what was said before the game?
However, LNG's ability to adjust is also very strong. Tazan directly changed his thinking and put heavy pressure on the bottom lane.
Finally, we got the first little dragon at 7 minutes.
Guan Zeyuan: "In fact, as long as LNG can take the dragon before eight minutes, there will be no problem with this lineup."
"Yes, but it's better not to lose the Dragon Soul rhythm."
During the second wave of returning to the city, Xia Sen made Mercury Boots.
I'm not pretending to be Xiaohu, this is really the way to play against LNG. Tarzan and Hang both like to gank the mid lane. Without Mercury's Boots, Neeko will basically hit with ER or RE.
But with the tiger shoes, the argument is not small, at least there is the possibility of operation.
The main thing is that when the opponent sees these tiger shoes, they will consider a lot of preparations before taking action, so when producing mercury shoes, the timing effect is far more than what the audience sees.
I can only say that Xiaohu realized this truth very early, but everyone else just didn't understand it.
Look, in the eight-minute vanguard group, Mercury's Boots played a big role.
When AD on both sides is absent.
Originally LNG was in position first, but Brother Bin’s pulling was so good that he tricked Monkey King’s ultimate out first.
A team battle broke out later, and LNG had the leading lineup, but unexpectedly, Jayce's Mercury's Boots caused Neeko's ultimate to be connected with E, and the control chain was not continued.
In total, both sides traded 2 for 2, but BLG got the pioneer.
The elk in the bottom lane also got a layer of plating and made a lot of money.
Guan Zeyuan: "Brother Bin's pulling first gave Tarzan the position to make him think he could kill, but then his flash directly triggered the Aura Cloak and pulled him away.
As for the bottom lane, elk didn't plan to come at the beginning, but Gala wanted to come, but when he saw that the pressure from the bottom lane defense tower was too great, he didn't come. This resulted in both sides losing money, and the operational gap was immediately reflected.
And Jayce, you absolutely cannot criticize his bare Mercury Boots. "
"2-headed Jayce, the game is over."
"Luo didn't control Jayce, otherwise LNG would have won this wave."
"The elk plating is numb."
"I always feel that Bighand's Jace is different from others. His damage is much higher."
"The finals are just different. The teamfight ideas are so clear."
"This is the scene in Xiaohu's dream. Apologize to Mercury Shoes!"
After this wave, the Vanguard's rhythm was interrupted, which gave BLG a chance to advance.
In the early stages, there were major problems with LNG's operational ideas.
For the second dragon, BLG still chose to avoid the fight. After taking the dragon, LNG lost its rhythm again and could only develop slowly like this.
But Jinx's equipment is getting better and better.
15 minutes of pioneer group.
Someone analyzed the BLG team a long time ago. They can give up the little dragon, but there is basically no possibility of giving up the vanguard.
Mainly in this version, getting the vanguard means getting the rhythm point, which is very important for the game rhythm.
When a team fight breaks out with Poppy, the advantage of BLG's lineup becomes apparent.
With Poppy at the front, Luo and Monkey King didn't dare to enter the field at all.
With Monkey King and Neeko's strong mid and jungle, LNG had a strong lineup as a whole, and this team fight ended in a 2-for-2 trade.
The reason is simple, BLG is too good at pulling.
Monkey, Neeko, and Rakan are all heroes who fight in waves. As long as you pull their first wave away, you will win no matter how you fight subsequently.
But if we want to achieve this, looking at the LPL or even the LCK, no team can say that they can definitely do it.
Guan Zeyuan: "Is it LNG that is too hasty? Or is it BLG?"
Guan Zeyuan didn't say anything else. It seemed like the gap in the finals was a bit too big.
The worse news is that the third dragon was taken by BLG, and LNG's few rhythms were gone.
At the 28th minute, it was obvious that the ADs on both sides were not at the same level. Jinx was protected by Tam, and she was alone in the front shooting wildly.
Even if we believe in Gala, this lineup is powerless to turn the tide.
"Elk's stopwatch blocked Neeko's entry. Jayce had a resurrection armor, and the two Cs withstood this wave of attacks!"
"Jinx starts, hits once, twice, A takes out Xayah's ultimate, Jayce flashes and hammers, Gala falls, Tam flashes to eat Jayce and saves him, on's concentration!"
"29 minutes in, is BLG going to win the first game of this Bo5? Can the remaining Neeko do it?"
"I still can't do it. The scout didn't clear all the minions."
I saw Xia Sen taking off his headphones with a relaxed look on his face.
Guan Zeyuan took another look at the Silver Dragon Cup.
I have a rough judgment in my mind.
