Chapter 231: Team history's first Lee Sin! Mutual formation changes, system showdown!

When the base crystal exploded.

JDG's team voice was silent for ten minutes, the channel was too quiet so that Homme in the background seemed to be able to hear the high-pitched commentary from the scene.

"Two-zero!" Miller shouted loudly: "V5 once again takes down JDG with an extremely refreshing offensive! They now hold three championship points!"

"Can only say that the development of this final clearly exceeded our expectations!"

Wang Duoduo, still immersed in excitement, didn't want to be outdone and echoed: "Mainly because it's truly good to watch! The level of fighting between the two sides is full, and Master Ye's Lee Sin this game really treats the Canyon as a stage; didn't expect his Lee Sin to have this kind of proficiency!"

"This is Lee Sin! The operation ceiling is really too high; in the hands of such a player, it always feels like there are infinite possibilities!"

"V5 is now only one step away from getting the first championship in team history, and only one last game away from the perfect period of this spring!"

The sound waves raised by the four-sided stands were deafening, lingering in the high altitude of the venue.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was even more restless from the last wave until now.

【Others' Lee Sin is called Bodhidharma, his Lee Sin is called Tathagata!】

【Where is Yasuo! Ah ah ah, why didn't Yasuo come at the end of this wave, this Yasuo player watched and hated not being able to jump into the screen to connect the ultimate!!】

【JDG isn't resistant to beating either~ Take off the headgear and I thought it was BLG~~~】

【Phantom Distortion Leg's Trickster Monk! This game is so handsome that I must respectfully call him "Li Akali"!】

【Can only say that I don't recognize it if I don't use the Fist King skin this game, isn't this purely him playing himself?】

【Feeling that I am terribly strong now, I will start a game of Lee Sin immediately, waiting for me to feed everyone 8 in the process of Sonic Wave flight!】

【It's all tactics! Master Ye deliberately did this hand: "Teach you how to play Akali, go learn it~"—and then tricked other mid laners into practicing mid-lane Bodhidharma!】

In the post-match highlight replay, Lee Sin's footage completely occupied half the country.

From the rescue double-ultimate counter-kill in the mid-jungle game, to the solo kill in the mid lane, to the spin-kick in the wall, and finally the ghost-shadow distortion-style teleportation with rich visual impact!

The director even specially cut a close-up 3D big close-up for the last wave.

Lee Sin twisted his waist and spun in the air, his right leg wrapped in a thunder dragon concrete phantom sweeping out, the closing posture hanging upside down like dominoes, kicking multiple people away with one foot; the momentum was only like being on the scene, dominating the sky!

"My goodness! Just this last kick alone kicked out 4839 points of output! It's really outrageous!!!"

Using the pure tank Gragas as a "projectile" for bonus percentage damage amplification was too terrifying.

Besides the projectile itself, the health bars of the other few people at that time were almost instantly melted; even watching it again in the replay was spectacular.

Uzi in the background saw the damage panel below and couldn't help but lean toward Clearlove next to him to tease.

"Factory Manager, he kicked out your game's output with this one kick!"

Clearlove didn't care much about this, and even because it was Ye Bo who dealt it, he had a kind of inexplicable sense of pride.

"Can only say, Master Ye is worthy of being the person who went out from our EDG! He is the first Lee Sin in team history, okay, even stronger than Barrier's!"

He even joked about himself: "But to be fair, this kick is only a bit more than General Sturgeon's void area, it seems the gap between Master Ye and me isn't big~"

Barrier next to him leaned over: "Hey, mainly Master Ye's RQ won't miss, it's still not authentic!"

"Zhao Lijie, is your skin itchy again..."

Uzi looked at Ye Bo, who was standing up in high spirits on the screen, and Deft, who was chatting with a smile beside him.

Both envied the former and suddenly felt a bit sour that he only thought "I can do this Caitlyn!"

If you give me this mid laner, wouldn't I have had a championship long ago!!

Of course, he was more "envying the former."

When a casual player pulls off a brilliant play in the game, they can be excited enough to chatter about it with classmates in class for two whole semesters, and every time they pick that hero, they might just bring it up as if an NPC were triggering a quest!

And for professional players.

Everyone's supreme pursuit must be wanting to perform operations on the field that make the audience on the scene unable to help but scream, operations that can remain in the history of League of Legends!

And when the game ends, take off the headphones and enjoy the sound waves coming from under the stage!

Uzi had experienced this feeling, and it was very addictive.

And the excitement of these two finals only made the thoughts buried in his heart become more surging, wishing he could run onto the stage right now.

In comparison, the most constipated expression had to belong to Scout, who was furthest to the side.

Hearing several old teammates raving about Ye Bo, the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

What "first Lee Sin in team history" came out?

I also played mid-lane Lee Sin before! Why didn't I hear you blow me like this!?

But, this was just Scout's extremely unbalanced thought at this moment.

In reality, he knew very well that the Lee Sin he played at the time was just the S11 version dividend, and whether it was the game performance or the pure operation, it was a world of difference from the Lee Sin of this game!

And, according to Scout's understanding of the opponent.

This kind of hero he chose for the first time on the field might not be the "complete form," it might just be the basic operation...

This point was also something Scout had discovered from Ye Bo's former Taliyah, Zoe, and other heroes.

He did indeed guess right.

On the way back to the background, Ye Bo was taking stock of the rich harvest of this game.

A hero with such a naturally high {operation ceiling} as Lee Sin—could simply be said to be a sharp tool for "wooling experience points"!

Just this one game, triggered four or five operation rewards in a row, and experience points were pouring in!

Of course, it was also because Ye Bo's few operations this game weren't as simple as W-ward R-Flash; every wave looked easy, but the details and gamesmanship that needed to be grasped were not a bit less.

And the previous "Skin Egg" reward only gave Lee Sin {level six} experience mastery.

But after this game ended, all the experience points were stacked up, and instantly it was almost only one step away from level seven!

As long as he wanted, he could unlock a new level-seven hero immediately!

Ye Bo wasn't in a hurry.

After all, global BP, he couldn't pick this hero again in the next game, and the remaining progress bar could be relied on his own hands for training, no need to waste the experience pool.

However, he was also very looking forward to what kind of unexpected "surprise" there would be for level seven of a hero like Lee Sin.

Proficiency only provided knowledge and muscle reaction.

But how to practice the operation in actual combat, in what way, still completely needed to rely on Ye Bo's own thinking, mastery, and response—every time Ye Bo completed a "breakthrough," he felt extremely accomplished!

And compared to the sunny atmosphere of the V5 members and family group.

JDG's team background was full of oppression.

Since the crushing defeat in the regular season, the entire JDG team had been wanting revenge!

For this, they didn't even hesitate to use the playoff semi-finals as an experiment, and specifically went to formulate and practice targeted tactics, full of confidence to participate in this spring final battle.

And the result?

Although the process of the game was clearly much more tit-for-tat than the semi-final against BLG... but damn it, the result wasn't different!

Don't look at the outside audience joking that JDG and BLG were the "Battle of the Little Kings."

In reality, JDG members all thought from the bottom of their hearts that they and BLG were not on the same level of team, and they never regarded BLG as a real "opponent"!

They never thought they were fighting for the "Little King."

They always felt they were powerful contenders for the "Big King"!

The current result was very hard for the whole team from top to bottom to accept.

"Things have come to this..."

Homme wanted to pull a Chinese idiom, but only said half of the first half and got stuck; he couldn't think of the second half no matter what.

His Chinese was about the same level as his own mid laner; usually, Homme mostly communicated in Korean, and anyway, the coach's voice not being up to standard had a relatively small impact.

"In short, we have already entered MSI!"

"This game is not a sky-falling game for us; everyone needs to keep a good mentality and don't be affected by the previous games."

"I can probably guess their BP thinking in the third game... Jin-hyeok, we agreed before the game, no problem, right?"

Kanavi, although clearly somewhat unwilling, still nodded.

After all, they had already lost two games like this, and the second game had also followed his idea to pick a high-risk jungler lineup like Kha'Zix, but it didn't produce any effect.

Under such circumstances, Kanavi was also willing to hand over this burden...

Ruler got this affirmative answer, and his expression turned from cloudy to sunny.

Very clearly.

The one who was most uncomfortable this game was him!

He determined that if it weren't for the mid-jungle inexplicably collapsing, he would definitely be invincible as long as his teammates stabilized this game!

But that Lee Sin came early to the development where he could kill if he hit a Q, and kicked him so hard his legs couldn't close!

Then what room for operation did I have?

What's magical is.

Ruler seemed to still mainly have resentment toward the jungler, thinking the opponent's early decisions were too aggressive.

He seemed to have inexplicably forgotten the existence of another "culprit."

And a person who was quietly doing a manicure for himself with his teeth, trying to use the gaming chair as a bush to block teammates' vision, skillfully disappeared from everyone's vision, triggering an instinct to try to escape responsibility...

Before long, the players returned to the stage.

But when the two sides reappeared and climbed the steps, the mental outlook was clearly worlds apart.

The V5 group was united, still excitedly communicating when they went on stage, and even Deft, who was always peaceful, could see some excitement on his face.

And the JDG side, except for Ruler who was clearly high-spirited, pursing his lips with an expression of wanting to grab the keyboard, the others looked a bit listless, as if their souls had been drawn out...

【Are these few people beaten into depression? It wasn't like this in the pre-match promo video... Hey, why are there only four people!?】

【Laugh to death, even Scout has to hide behind his teammates when going on stage! He can't block vision in the game, but he's a set of tricks outside the game!】

【Pity JDG fans, hehe, worked so hard to grab the tickets, only to come and watch the home team get beaten frantically!】

【Indeed, this feeling is like going to the scene in person to watch your beloved childhood sweetheart being made into a cream puff in front of you, but you can't say a word.】

【My suggestion is don't grab tickets next time, give them to V5 fans; damn, if I grabbed the tickets, could I watch the live broadcast here?】

【Hehe, V-miscellaneous will put on a face, wait for my big JDG to let two chase three! Nail you all to the pillar of shame!】

The barrage, besides the skin-wearing fans who were clearly trolling.

Real JDG fans couldn't laugh at this moment.

They could only pin all their hopes on their home team to make them feel proud—even if it was just for one game!

A crisp sound pulled everyone's attention back to the screen.

"The BP for the match point game has started, JDG chose the Blue side again as the losing side!"

"The BP for both sides in the third game hasn't changed much, which can be considered a common choice for the third game."

First round of bans—

JDG: Sylas, Jax, Renata

V5: Vi, Varus, Rakan

Clearly, besides the few heroes banned in the last game, with ten heroes burned, the advantage of the Blue side was no longer so obvious.

This was why only the Blue side slightly changed the bans.

Banning Renata themselves was to not give the Red side a chance to get a comfortable bot lane combo as a first pick.

And without the pressure of Akali, the freed-up ban slots could also be used to deal with things their lineup was more afraid of this game.

"JDG first picks Ornn! This is 69's top three signature heroes in the summer season!"

"V5 gets Jin Kesi... and Galio? Directly locking in the dual carries, this looks like they want to play a big-core system!?"

"We've seen V5's big-core system quite a bit, but a big-core system where their mid laner isn't a {big core} is really rare."

"However, although Master Ye's Galio isn't played much, I remember the last time seemed to be the summer final last year against Scout! Now it's reproduced in the spring final!"

Jin Kesi was the most dominant big-core ADC in the current version, besides Aphelios and Zeri.

JDG's best performance last game was clearly the ADC, so picking a big core for him this game had the highest cost-effectiveness and possibility, which was why V5 chose to snatch it.

But this was exactly what JDG thought.

"Xayah and Tristana! It's mid-lane Tristana! This is another choice that somewhat counters Galio!"

"JDG's general idea this game hasn't changed, just replaced with a dual-carry dual-shooter system!"

"V5 picks Shen! You know their Shen can be flexed between top and support; looking at it this way, V5 is determined to play four-protect-one this game, feeling like they are practicing a new lineup..."

"One more point! Without Jax, Shen should also be able to serve some purpose in dealing with JDG's dual shooters!"

However.

Four-protect-one clearly wasn't a playstyle V5 liked to use, nor was it a playstyle suitable for the version.

Galio was indeed the default mid laner in the current version—but no one knew that at V5, he could actually be flexed.

And, it was a "three-lane flex."

And JDG clearly fell for this flex, completely unprepared for it.

It was just that Ye Bo indeed didn't expect JDG to pick mid-lane Tristana.

Not because they didn't think of this hero; in fact, mid-lane Tristana had been strengthened in the second half of the spring season, plus the brand-new {Overheal} rune was extremely compatible, so it wasn't a very rare choice.

The reason was that in his impression, Scout didn't seem to have picked Tristana, unless he was also "hiding" like Ye Bo's Lee Sin last game.

And the only two benefits of Tristana, besides clearly somewhat countering Galio.

More importantly, mid-lane Tristana's laning was at least on par with Ahri, and might even be more "shameless"!

This was definitely a "laning hero" in the true sense.

Clearly, Homme's thinking about the mid laner was still being implemented, and because of the "miserable situation" last game, he was even more cautious and valued "laning" this game!

Ye Bo scanned up and down the hero selection list...

Entering the second round of BP.

V5: Ivern, Sejuani

JDG: Lulu, Karma

"V5's fourth pick is actually Trundle!?"

"This lineup, wouldn't it be a bit too four-protect-one, top-mid-jungle feels like there's absolutely no damage at all."

Homme didn't know what the opponent was playing at, just continuing his tactical conception.

"Ivern! Ivern!?"

"Kanavi's Ivern!?"

"JDG, who has reached the cliff's edge, actually picked such a combo... could it be that this is actually their secret weapon!!"

Strictly speaking, yes.

It just couldn't be called a secret weapon; it should be called a better preparation.

JDG's previous tactics were very simple, nothing more than centering around the jungler as the core, and then completing linkage breakthroughs in the top lane to feed the jungler, while letting the mid-lower dual carries' hard strength win the laning phase to naturally win the game.

Homme precisely felt his own shortcomings from the failure against V5.

Plus the influence of global BP, JDG gave birth to a new tactic—the idea of centering on the mid-lower dual carries as the core.

Of course.

This tactic would only appear "after the third game of global BP."

The reason was very simple; just like they were frantically limiting V5's mid lane, other teams would also limit JDG's jungler, not letting them enter their comfort zone.

If JDG still wanted to play jungle-core this game, they could only pick Viego, who was relatively weak early, or a Graves with a huge stench, or it could only be "Desperate Viego"!

No good choices, so picking hard was better than changing tactics to break the situation more easily.

And the jungler picking Ivern required the support to pick a hard support to supplement engage and rhythm means; without Nautilus and Leona, JDG picked the next best choice, Rell.

"V5's last pick should be support or top laner; Shen against Ornn should be okay, right?"

"Then it's seeing what support will be used to fight Rell; there aren't many hard supports left outside."

"Hmm!?"

"Locked in Akshan! What is V5's lineup!?"

Both sides' lineups confirmed—

"Blue side: JDG vs Red side: V5"

【Top: Ornn vs Shen】

【Jungle: Ivern vs Trundle】

【Mid: Tristana vs Akshan】

【ADC: Xayah vs Jin Kesi】

【Support: Rell vs Galio】
