Chapter 344: Intelligence game? Inventory tactics vs inventory design!
"Although both teams have unpopular choices in this game, the lineup is relatively conventional, and they are all very classic lineup systems during the MSI version!" Wang Duoduo is still analyzing the lineup in the live broadcast room.
"In contrast, the KR representative team will be slightly more biased towards rhythm promotion, the classic 'Fire Monkey' combination in the mid lane, plus the Tristana and Heimerdinger in the bot lane, all of which are heroes that are easier and more in need of rhythm!"
"The CN representative team is obviously more biased towards team fighting. As long as the other side doesn't have too fast rhythm in the early stage, we will be slightly dominant in the mid and late stages!"
"And at the same time, this is also the first game of player Ye Bo's career after the remake of the new version of Syndra! Very worth looking forward to!"
Amidst the cheers raised by countless spectators in the venue, the Summoner's Rift descended on the Asian Games Plaza.
Off the stage, in addition to a large number of domestic and foreign fans, there are also LPL commentators, retired and active players, and a front-row cheering group composed of many star summoners.
They, together with the audience, held the bright national flag firmly in the front, shouting with all their strength: "Chinese team, come on!!!"
And on the other side, some Korean fans who came from afar to watch the match were also roaring their vocal cords, but the momentum was completely suppressed, and there were even non-unified cheers inside.
After all, many people are pure fans of Lee Sang-hyeok, who worked hard to run here but have been unable to see their idol appear, so it's not bad if they don't help the other side scold.
Both sides enter the matchup.
The map also quickly appeared with alternating signal sounds.
"Both sides are gathering five people, but this movement looks..."
After all, Heimerdinger made a big splash in last year's S12 World Championship, and most of the routines must be open and transparent.
For example, level 1.
Anyone who has watched last year's World Championship knows: starting with 3 turrets and starting with 6 turrets, the gap is absolutely worlds apart!
Starting with three turrets, the opponent still has the possibility of forcibly using blood to clear the turrets, thereby exchanging for the pulling space of lane priority.
But six turrets definitely can't do it!
With six turrets, Heimerdinger can complete the push with an unreasonable speed, and can even push the minion wave into the tower before the second wave of minions arrives, and then control the wave back; or maintain the push state to hoard minions and dive at level 3...
It is very clear that the KR representative team must come to protect Heimerdinger's turrets, and is not worried that the other side will come to stop it.
After all, looking at the lineup, they have an absolute advantage in level 1 team fighting!
Although Heimerdinger's turrets may be pulled away by Syndra's W, Beryl is also carefully placing the turrets in a "triangle △" shape in the narrow second grass, so as to avoid his turrets being cleared all at once.
The jungler's scan didn't scan any wards.
And squatting in the bot lane grass for a while, the KR representative team still didn't see any trace of the enemy.
"Definitely don't dare to come, we are obviously stronger at level 1!" Kanavi, one of the big cores of this game, said as a matter of course.
"Why don't the top laner retreat first? It's best to help me check the upper jungle area..."
But Beryl looked a bit hesitant, still scanning the map.
Any level 1 design is essentially gambling, or "game theory."
Gathering five people will definitely lead to a lag in half-area vision.
But if the other side is gathering five people, and you don't gather five people, not only will the design be dismantled by the other side, but even fewer people will directly lead to "advantage becoming disadvantage"!
"Hard to say..."
However, until now, no one from the CN team has leaked their position.
Both jungle areas are completely pitch black, looking like the other side knows they can't fight, and didn't think about the meaning of suicide at all.
"Let's walk together, be careful of them squatting in the triangle grass, let's help the jungler scan the lower half area together." Beryl finally said.
"And the jungler had better start red, so as not to eat the level 1 design of the upper half area..."
Kanavi, the other commander, heard that he was helping himself scan the half area, naturally agreed fully.
The crowd, together with the top laner, five people moved towards the red area triangle grass direction.
Five people maintained the formation and moved forward with full discipline, until they swept the entire lower jungle area, still without any enemy situation appearing.
At the same time, the vision of the three turrets in the bot lane grass also showed that they were safe and sound.
The KR representative team, which lifted the safety alert, breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that the other side probably went to their upper blue area to counter-start, wanting to swap half-areas—and this, simply hit the KR representative team's heart!
It is obvious that from picking a versatile hero like Gnar in the first round, it can be seen that the priority of the top lane in this game is very low.
After all, whether it is Score or Hongmi, neither of their teams takes the top lane as the core.
And you know, the Zeri + Yuumi on the CN side is weaker before level 6, and KR's Tristana + Heimerdinger combination is a combination that can push the line brainlessly.
If the CN representative team takes the initiative to carry out the "swap half-area start" strategy they liked most in the past, it undoubtedly means completely giving up the bot lane in the early stage!
The 5-minute time of the first jungle area, the KR bot lane with no anti-gank pressure at all, is very likely to achieve an advantage of nearly 2 platings, completely exerting the role of their lane priority combination!
It can be said that everything is going according to the plan in Beryl's big head.
To be precise, it is the "inventory plan" in his head last year.
That is, the ban pressure in the S-tournament finals last year was not great, which led to EDG being able to ban Heimerdinger for three games. Otherwise, he felt that the opportunity might have been greater last year!
It's a pity that the sound insulation effect of the Hangzhou Asian Games venue is too good.
The KR representative team at this time can't hear the exclamation of the audience outside, and can't hear the head-holding reminder of their own commentary desk on the online broadcast platform.
"How dare they!!"
"Is this... playing an intelligence game!?"
The jungle refreshed, the minions went online.
The map was peaceful, and Kanavi was also communicating while looking at the map: "Zhi-xun, Annie is grabbing the line at level 1, right? I'm still going to the opponent's blue area later."
"Ah, should be fine."
Chovy's not-so-firm answer made Kanavi a bit unhappy, only feeling like an old friend on the right.
However, his idea is very clear.
Because the other side didn't show their head at level 1, and Zeus, who returned to the top lane, definitely didn't dare to step into the upper half area to help check, so the opponent's jungler's start is still unknown.
Swapping jungle areas with blue start is just a guess, and Xun is not without the thing of stealing a buff first and then turning to the half area.
Kanavi has already thought about it, after finishing red, he will go directly to the opponent's blue area!
One is to confirm the other side's movement, determine the exchange result of the most critical "offensive half-area."
Two is to consider variation gank, or counter-jungle arrest.
Even if the opponent is not there, as long as he brushes the Gromp and Wolves with short reset time first, the impact on the jungle rhythm reset is minimal, and even if the next round of jungle exchange comes back, the one who loses is the other side!
And just at this time.
A sound suddenly came from the mid lane.
"Huh? Why is the opponent's mid laner not there!"
"What are they doing!?"
Before the other side could reply, Kanavi himself and the teammates who were rushing to the bot lane had already nervously cut the screen over...
—But only saw a {Red Buff} flying and smashing into the mid lane minion wave, pressing its solid body onto six minions, and then walking back in a ghostly posture!
Seeing Syndra walking out from behind, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.
This looked like the other side just "made a living thing," actually went to pick up the red buff at the start, smashed it onto Annie who was standing forward and wanted to check, which can be considered stealing a small first-hand health.
But at the same time, this also clearly exposed a piece of information.
That is, the opponent's jungler can confirm that it is definitely not red start, and the options are almost only left with one of two!
Kanavi cut back to the screen, pulling the jungle back to ensure health.
Heimerdinger had to return to the line in advance to "wake up" the turrets, so as not to be found by the opponent's bot lane and cleared in advance, so he didn't help the Monkey open the jungle much.
But unexpectedly, the bot lane followed with a familiar shout again.
"Damn!!!"
Kanavi also cut the screen to check again.
But this time, he was also shocked.
Just because the Heimerdinger who went online normally... was actually being beaten by three people!!
And because of Vi's charging punch angle, it was actually from behind the first grass, and even "reverse" knocked back Heimerdinger who was preparing to go to the second grass to wake up the turrets!
Yuumi handed over Ignite, shot the fish-touching missile, and then got off the car to help fight, Zeri and Vi were also outputting crazily. ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
