Chapter 381

Let's chat, asking for leave.

Let's chat, asking for leave.

After reading to this point, I haven't been able to calm down to write. Let me borrow a leave note for next month, and take a day off.

Let's talk about the match.

It's really a pity!

It's almost a replica of last year's final; it really was just one breath away, just the final step!

Faker really has some destiny; an Elder Dragon, an Electric Dragon Soul, all dragons snatched in the middle of a big melee...

However, this also truly shows that the gap between the regions isn't that big. AL and BLG, for two consecutive years, could fight T1 to this extent, both just one step away. How big can the gap really be?

Then, I feel there's nothing to 'blame' for.

To be fair, Hope was indeed the one with the biggest gap today—but what can be done? He is indeed at this level. From the beginning of this year to the end, no one has been optimistic about him, and he has indeed tried his best.

And Brother Flandre...

I saw many friends in the group who might have quit the game for a long time saying he 'threw.'

Let me say a fair word. Before, it was fine, but blaming Brother Flandre again today really makes no sense at all.

Anyone who plays top lane knows that Brother Flandre really had nothing to say today.

You blame him for flanking, a Aatrox, a Rek'Sai—if he doesn't flank, should he enter from the front???

Does it mean that in a situation where he would die instantly even if he were controlled while flanking → entering from the front, facing the opponent's Ashe + Seraphine's super control, walking in while being controlled, and walking to their faces, he wouldn't die instead?

Wasn't Doran flanking every time? Did he succeed?

Look at Hanwha's quarterfinal footage, didn't Zeus flank?

In the current environment of this game, if the top laner doesn't flank, there's no way to play team fights; it was meant to be played by flanking!

Since everyone knows you're going to flank—so the act of flanking itself inherently has a success/failure probability!

If flanking could be 100% successful, and fighters could 100% stably stick to the ADC, wouldn't the top lane position be invincible?

To tell the truth.

Many viewers watch matches and only remember the things with the most 'memory points.'

For example, IG in the Round of 17, many people fixated on Wei 'dismantling the Baron pit control ward' as the reason for his total blame for that game—however, the fact is, if you look at the match footage again, you'll know that losing Baron that time, only losing Baron, the opponent didn't even dismantle a single defensive tower afterward!

That mistake was really just a purely simple 1500 gold! There wasn't a single bit of extra gain!

Was the 1500 gold really what caused them to lose the match? It was the top lane Rumble feeding the Xin Zhao early, and the super-fed Xin Zhao directly pierced through the jungle, and then pierced through the whole game!

Today's AL games are the same.

There are many reasons for the failure, among which the last two games were clearly because of the huge pressure in the bot lane laning phase leading to an operational collapse, while the top lane's combat performance supported the situation, and they once had a 6k gold lead in the mid game.
