Chapter 187 Frowning, Lava Monster
“…it opened again…” At the commentary booth, everyone looked at each other, unable to say anything special for a moment.

The way this match was played was... a bit unique.

Logically speaking, the atmosphere in previous playoffs was already this tense.

The teams were fighting each other to the death, and in the top lane they started exchanging blood as soon as they met, it was extremely ferocious.

Shouldn't it be more intense when it comes to the more important finals?

But the fact seems not to be so.

In the first game, facing Xingxin's Fiora who was instantly locked on the blue side, everyone expected Fanhua, who had just chopped down Blue Rain with one sword, to make the strongest response.

For example, let Sun Zheping choose Riven or Noxus to fight.

But the choice of flowers is surprising.

The hero they chose for Sun Zheping was... Minotaur.

Alistar... vs Fiora? It doesn't seem to work either.

Don't get me wrong, Sun Zheping was pushed back to the supporting position.

Zhao Yang, who had performed well in the support position in the previous game, returned to the top lane.

The hero he used to deal with Tang Rou Jian Ji was...

"Solid as a rock!"

oO?

The moment Fanhua revealed this hero, question marks began to slowly appear over the heads of the commentators, the audience, and everyone in Xingxin.

No, you worked so hard to come up with a strategy that could confront Xingxin head-on, how come you suddenly went backwards?
In addition to the Stone Man in the top lane and the Minotaur in the bottom lane, Fanhua also decisively got Lulu for Xiye, and by the way, chose the Skateboard Shoes for Zhang Jiale, who was finally released.

Wow... this lineup, a renaissance?

Are you going to keep the Spear of Vengeance as the core?

"The Fanhua lineup is... a little... classic. Blue Rain, which was defeated by them before, tried a similar strategy, but was eventually defeated by Sun Zheping's sword."

Wei Chen carefully chose his words and expressed his small doubts in the gentlest tone possible:

"Isn't it a bit risky to use a tactic that they have cracked before to face an opponent that has defeated them before?"

Not only him, many viewers sighed in disappointment the moment the Stone Man was chosen.

Fanhua's fans in particular have already started a heated debate online:
"No, why is there a stone man?"

"His brows furrowed. Lava monster?"

"oO?"

"Willn't that mean we will be killed by the Soft God all the way?"

"Could it be that Da Sun's hand is not fully healed and he can't sustain a long-term single-player game?"

Amid countless people's confusion and doubts, this game that puzzled everyone except Fanhua began.

Then Xingxin did win.

However, this process was more painful for them, especially Tang Rou, than losing.

Zhao Yang completely gave up any struggle in this fight.

He knew very well that unless he got the Captain, he would never be able to gain any advantage in the top lane, so he chose to go for the ultimate chaos.

You want a blood transfusion? Then I'll withdraw.

You want to suppress it? Then go ahead.

Unless the sky falls, unless you want to demolish my tower, you can treat me as fiercely as you like, and I will start!
Anyway, he is a stone man, so there is no requirement for him to do anything special online.

It would be good if it can be effective in team fights.

But Zhao Yang's basic skills and strength are there.

As a top laner in the abandoned version, her operational ability is not much worse than Tang Rou.
It might be a little difficult for him to defeat Tang Rou in this version.

But when he completely gave up the idea of ​​competing with Tang Rou and just wanted to have fun, it was not so easy for Tang Rou to beat him with the protection of Tower.

Moreover, since Tang Rou had a solid foundation in last-hitting, she was more interested in exchanging blood than last-hitting.

After a while, although the knife difference still exists,
It just so happened that this time, Zhao Yang seemed to have logged into Ye Xiu's account and learned the true skills from Ye Xiu.

It's just the true teachings of Dog Head.

As the stone man danced like a fool under the tower, no matter how Tang Rou attacked, except for pressing a little more with her sword, there was really not much effect.

A strange scene occurred in this game:
Until the twentieth minute, the top lane towers of both sides were still there, and there were no kills in the top lane. Except for the fact that Fiora suppressed the Stone Man by about twenty knives, everything was peaceful.

You know, in the past, Tang Rou would have already started to set her sights on Fanhua's highland tower at this point.

"How should I put it...Brother Hai played very well in this game. We can say that he is the first player who can withstand the pressure from Tang Rou in the top lane since the playoffs." Wang Duoduo had a constipated expression on his face.

"It's this competition process... it's a little hypnotic."

In fact, Tang Rou didn't have many opportunities to perform until the very end of the game.

Xingxin was able to win because of Su Mucheng's outburst.

In the 25-minute dragon fight, Su Mucheng's Ashe fired a magical crystal arrow that was a stroke of genius and accurately hit Zhang Jiale who was protecting Sun Zheping's vision.

After holding back for 25 minutes, everyone in Xingxin rushed forward and chopped up Zhang Jiale who was stunned on the spot.

This gradually tipped the balance of victory.

Until the crystal was finally captured by Happy, the first reaction of everyone present was to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

"Let's... congratulate Xingxin. It's one to zero and we've won the first game!" Wang Duoduo's congratulations became weak.

This is really... a hearty Akaishi!
During the break, Sun Zheping angrily scolded, "No, what if you were more careful with your positioning? You could have won this round!"

"If we take it down in such a disgusting way, won't it make the opponent even more angry?"

Zhang Jiale looked embarrassed: "I haven't played core for a while, I'm not used to it."

It was before the time to train Da Sun to play the top lane tactics. As the sacrificial position in the team, Zhang Jiale was used to being chased everywhere and being finished as soon as he started to fight in a team.

Over time, I don't even care that much about my own life.

Suddenly I got a Kalista, who was the only strong output point in the team. I was very uncomfortable with it for a while.

This led to a strange situation where the AD died while trying to save the support.

"Oh, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Sun Zheping sighed and smiled:

"But after such a beating, I'm afraid the little girl's blood pressure might be a little high."

It was a bit of a pity that Su Mucheng's shot was so impressive, after all, no one could have expected such a sudden situation.

But this time, although the flowers are trying their best to win, their purpose is indeed not so pure.

At present, although we lost the first point, the effect seems to be better than winning...

……

At the same time, on the other side, in the Xingxin lounge.

"Sister Rou...are you okay?" Baozi asked carefully. Tang Rou sat in her seat, the relaxed smile that usually appeared on her face had completely disappeared, replaced by a cold expressionless face.

Seeing Baozi's concern, she rarely smiled and just shook her head gently: "I'm fine."

Seeing this, Baozi didn't dare to say anything. Does this look like everything is fine?
Tang Rou's aura at this moment was as gloomy as the afternoon before a storm, which made him feel uneasy.

Although she won, Tang Rou's performance in this round was unremarkable.

1/1/6, one of the kills was picked up from somewhere in a team battle.

He lost all the way in a single laning situation, but after Su Mucheng's magical arrow overturned Fanhua's car, he took advantage of the winning momentum to defeat them.

There are almost no performances like the previous ones.

You know, in the entire playoffs, before today's finals, Xingxin had only played two BO5s at most.
One was a 3-1 win over Fanhua in the second round, and the other was a 3-1 win over Blue Rain in the decisive match.

In these two BO5s, she faced top-level top laners.

Apart from anything else, I do have the spirit and am willing to exchange blood with him in the laning phase to ensure that I don't lose in development.

In such a situation, her skills, talent and bravery, with the support of this version, can easily help him open up the situation.

But today's Zhao Yang was too lazy.

He was like the man without a hammer, looking at the hard stone turtle shell, not knowing how to bite it.

When had she ever fought such a frustrating battle?
Seeing Tang Rou like this, the considerate Qiao Yifan took the initiative to persuade her: "In that case, let's focus on Sister Rou's route next time."

"Senior Zhang Jiale is very strong, but in this version, it is much more difficult for him to perform than for Sister Rou."

Although he still had some doubts about the idea of ​​a large number of soldiers besieging a stone man, Ming Kai, who could not think of a better solution in the short term, could only nod and say, "Okay, let's do it!"

Tang Rou's current state really requires an opportunity to vent.

However, in the next game, after Fanhua on the blue team locked onto Fiora in the first second, triggering thunderous cheers from all Fanhua fans in the audience, Mingkai was a little confused.

"Giving Xiao Tang a chance to vent at this time? Has Fanhua lost her mind?" Ming Kai knew very well that Tang Rou, who had been holding back for too long, would explode with great force.

The lineups of both sides were quickly finalized, and as expected, both teams used a style of play that focused on attacking the top lane and was extremely strong in solo laning.

In the top lane, it was the classic Fiora versus Riven.

From the fact that both sides' summoner skills are equipped with Ignite at the same time, you can imagine how horrific and bloody the fight in the top lane will be.

But this 1v1 battle in the top lane was ultimately not very successful.

Baozi was well aware of how miserable his own sister Rou was in the previous game. This time, Sun Zheping's Fiora learned for once what it meant to exile Lee Sin in a laning match.

With care at all costs, Sun Zheping was successfully killed before level 6, alleviating the dilemma of Riven who had no ultimate when facing Fiora.

With Baozi's help, Tang Rou, despite the slight disadvantage of Riven against Fiora before level 6, managed to make up a quarter of the health difference!

On the contrary, Sun Zheping, who had performed extremely well in the previous game, seemed to be a little at a loss when facing the younger and stronger Tang Rou, and actually fell into a disadvantage.

At this moment, the hearts of Fanhua's fans were in their throats.

When Sun Zheping exploded and destroyed Blue Rain's top lane, they saw hope for a while.

Fanhua, this team composed of frustrated people, seems to really have a chance to compete for the final championship.

However, when facing Tang Rou, Sun Zheping, who had transformed into a top laner, not only chose to avoid the fight in the first game, but also did not seem to have the upper hand in the second game.

Suddenly, an atmosphere of despair gradually spread among the fans in the stands.

After pushing the line of soldiers and reaching level six, Tang Rou's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and Riven brandished the broken sword and rushed forward fearlessly.

Seemingly because he fell behind in development after being caught that time, and also seemingly because he was afraid of Riven's big opponent, Sun Zheping's first reaction was not to fight, but to turn around and walk towards the tower.

He was scared.

At this moment, the last hope of Fanhua fans was shattered.

Countless pairs of hopeful eyes slowly dimmed at this moment, with a kind of dejection and relief.

Whatever, it’s fate.

For a few old men and children, it was worth the trip to be able to reach this final stage.

Fourth place? It seems like a pretty good achievement.

Sun Zheping fled into the back of the tower, but Tang Rou obviously had no intention of letting him go.

She had already calculated that even if she had to kill by jumping over the tower, with Riven's powerful displacement ability, she would be able to escape from the tower with a sliver of health after killing Sun Zheping.

Laurent's Heart Eye Knife's cooldown hasn't finished yet, and Sun Zheping has no chance to counterattack!
With the soldiers absorbing the first wave of tower damage, Riven brandished her heavy sword, her whole body flashing with a faint green light, and rushed forward, and forward again!

Soon, Fiora's health dropped to the dangerous line. She only needed to use the sword energy of her ultimate skill to kill the fleeing coward!
The next step is to flash, Tang Rou thought.

Even if the sword girl flashed forward, she couldn't escape the range of the last sword!

The sharp edge of the sword burst out, sweeping forward with immense power. At the same time, the sword girl appeared.

Then... instead of retreating, he advanced and appeared behind Riven!

I have to say, perhaps because it was the first time for the director to experience such a large scene, he felt a little restrained.

So much so that he made a mistake. During this fatal fight, the live camera was given to Tang Rou and Zhao Yang instead of Sun Zheping.

If he could capture Sun Zheping's face, then Fanhua's fans might not panic at all.

Sun Zheping was laughing the whole time.

Whether he was laning against Tang Rou, being caught by Baozi, or running away from Riven, he was always smiling.

That suffocating pressure seemed to have no effect on him at all.

"Girl, you are still too impatient..." Sun Zheping chuckled.

"If you don't take it when you're ahead, you'll send me back to the city. Because I didn't bring my teleport, the soldiers are entering the tower again. I'm going to lose this time."

"Even if you didn't kill me after this, considering the time I was caught and killed, I should have lost the qualification to fight you head-on."

"But who told you to... be so bloodthirsty?"

Fiora flashed in the opposite direction and avoided Riven's ultimate sword energy just in time.

At the same time, Mo Fan and Xiye, the mid-jungle duo who did the best job in invasion and support, had already rushed out from the bushes near the first tower!
From Sun Zheping's slight disadvantage in the laning phase at the beginning to his weak escape in the face of Tang Rou's attack, all of this was for this moment.

Riven has a lot of displacement, is extremely flexible, hard to catch, and even harder to cross the tower.

If you want to make Riven, especially a top-level Riven like Tang Rou, pay the price, you either have to defeat her head-on in the laning phase, or...

Wait till she comes to the fore!

Riven swung her sword in vain to replace Fiora, but she had used too many skills in the previous chase, and under the restriction of the mid and jungle players, she had lost her last chance.

Riven died.

This sounded the clarion call for the flowers to counterattack.

In the playoffs, the tactics that Xingxin was most proud of came back to haunt Xingxin for the first time.

As Sun Zheping, who was no longer in disguise, began to solo, Xingxin, who also chose a lineup that focused on pushing, failed to reverse the downward trend by fighting in a team.

The score is tied at one to one!
　First update, a little later today.
