Chapter 85: The Aggressive All-Out Attack Formation!
August 7, 2022.
"Alright, viewers! Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2022 LPL Summer Regular Season!"
The official commentator sat in the curtain, followed up with a self-introduction, and then led the topic to the game: "Coming up next is the duel between EDG and BLG, and this is also the last game of our summer regular season!"
"Waiting for both sides to be ready, let's take a look at the data comparison between the two sides first!"
Although there is no appearance ceremony for online matches, the preparation work is equally cumbersome.
Even the placement of the camera needs a specific position, and the player's face, hands, and peripherals must all be exposed to the screen.
The director knows what the audience wants to see, and adjusted the player's six-dimensional comparison chart during the pre-match time.
Even in this originally boring pre-match link, the streaming data has already approached the main match, and the secondary broadcast channels are all online!
"Here, here! The streamer has been hungry for three days, waiting for this game!"
The largest barbecue stall in the whole network, the DYS streaming room, three gluttonous hungry ghosts appeared on the scene.
The main streaming room's Jiedi said: "On the top lane side, except for damage taken, player Bin's data in other items are leading Flandre a bit, but there are also many team positioning factors on both sides..."
"Oh, hurry, hurry, skip, skip! I want to see the mid-laner!!!" Sun Yalong felt like hair was about to grow on his head.
Due to the record, the six-dimensional data chart will have a certain fluctuation, and the gap in the jungle position is also quite large.
However, when the mid-lane panel lit up, the barrage instantly filled with exclamation marks!
"Holy crap! Wen!"
"Damn, 17 MVPs! The real MVP king is here!"
From KDA, to damage per minute, to team damage share, average solo kills per game, participation rate...
All data, even somewhat exaggeratedly leading in all aspects!
"Haha, why does this look like a pimple growing in the middle of a steamed bun?" Xika gave a giggle and told a vivid metaphor.
Actually, if you take Scout's data during his time at EDG for comparison, it should at least be a 【dart hitting a balloon】 six-dimensional data comparison.
At least in the 【economic per minute】 item, the other party should be firmly ahead of Ye Bo.
But after coming to BLG, Scout's data was averaged by those functional hero games, causing the entire data chart to almost fail to find any prominent point in horizontal comparison.
On the six-dimensional chart, it looks like a blue circular circle close to filling up, with a small red circle in the center.
【Master! God!】
【Good guy, all of Master Ye's data are in the top two of the same position, how scary.】
【693 damage per minute? Feels higher than many ADCs!】
【Substitutes and starters are different. Today, let you know why a starter is a starter and a substitute is a substitute!】
【Thinking of Zhu Kai looking optimistic about the thief today makes me want to laugh, and saying that as long as the mid-lane plays normally, BLG has a 60% chance of winning, and other lanes are all advantages...】
【Pig Kai? I am the Sahara Desert, covering the sand and avoiding the wind!】
"Seems like it's about to start!"
The three in the streaming room were still communicating the data comparison of the bottom lane, but saw the change in the horizontal banner of the streaming screen.
"BLG must lose this game! EDG come on!!!" Xiaohai Youshen shouted with his fists clenched.
"What do you mean, are you defecting, Child God? You were gnashing your teeth every time you watched them play against WBG and V5!" Sun Yalong asked rhetorically.
"No, if BLG wins this game, the playoffs will have to squeeze V5 and WBG back by one place, and WBG will have to play from the first round of the bubble match!" Xiaohai Youshen explained as a matter of course.
"On the contrary, EDG, winning or losing today doesn't affect the ranking at all. I'm so afraid they will practice soldiers again! Don't overturn!!!"
Xika habitually opened the string: "Got it, got it! Then if EDG loses today, it must be intentional, clearly wanting to pit my Weibo and V5!"
The BP screen appeared.
First game blue side EDG, red side BLG.
"EDG respects Gwen, whom Bin likes to play recently, and BLG returns the tribute to Taliyah. Hey, no problem..."
"EDG self-bans Aphelios?"
BLG's head coach Chashao smelled something strange when he saw the other party ban Aphelios.
Aphelios is one of the heroes the other party's ADC is best at, and it is also one of the top three ADCs in the current version. As a blue side, there is generally no reason to self-ban.
The only disadvantage is that this hero's early offensive performance is not high.
Then the only reason for self-ban is that this game is preparing to play a fast-paced lineup and wants to choose a strong offensive hero for the bottom lane?
In the current version of the ADC ecosystem, the only strong offensive heroes left are Draven, Kalista, and Lucian. Among them, Lucian has just been weakened, and the blue side does not have the ability to directly get the combo.
At the same time, due to the advance of the schedule, Zeri's weakening in the official server has not been synchronized, and it still belongs to the red side's self-ban hero.
"Puppy, we must release one of Draven and Kalista on the red side." Chashao asked for the AD's opinion: "I feel they want to take these two. If you take Senna, which one would you rather fight?"
Uzi thought about it, EDG's Draven has shown a strong offensive system in previous games, which is clearly more deterrent than Kalista.
"Kalista, anyway, Senna-Tahm Kench just mix, I'll bring Glacial."
Both sides first three bans —
EDG: Gwen, Aphelios, Sylas
BLG: Taliyah, Zeri, Draven
"EDG's ban position is not right! It's really not right, I tell you!" Xika felt his barbecue soul burning: "Feels like they are stringing! Want to release water!"
"How could they self-ban Aphelios and Sylas? Although Ye Wen's Sylas has a green color, Scout's Sylas is definitely not much better. The arena performance is average!"
"It's broken, it's really said by Child God!" Sun Yalong understood his meaning and teased the simple boy next door.
Xiaohai Youshen, who was already a little red-faced, roared sincerely: "If EDG releases water, I will definitely be black for life! This is to owe me a world championship trophy for V5 and WBG!"
The reason why EDG banned Sylas in the first ban is clearly not because they are afraid of this hero.
Mainly because Sylas is the strongest small-scale "fighting ability" candidate among the strong mid-laners in the current version.
For this game, EDG's intention exposed in the first three bans is clearly to play an early strong offensive system.
And Sylas's mechanism belongs to the hero who is uncomfortable to take first on the blue side and will be targeted by the ultimate, and it is very uncomfortable for the red side to give it to the opponent.
The blue side took Kalista first without accident, and the red side directly responded with Senna-Tahm Kench.
The blue side continued to take Renata to form a combo, fully showing the advantage of the blue side BP.
However, in the third pick, EDG hesitated for a while.
"Flandre has to come out first, it is estimated that they will be countered in the top lane like this, so it is to take the mid-laner first, and the top laner will be banned in the second round." Maokai also guessed the opponent's BP intention.
"I can, Jayce or Gnar?"
Flandre's mouse clicked back and forth between these two heroes.
This is one of the two top-lane heroes most suitable for first pick in the system they are preparing to play in this game.
There is no natural enemy in laning, and they have always had offensive ability from the early stage to the mid-stage.
But as a game full of traffic, just clicking two heroes casually has already exploded the streaming room.
"Flandre! You are bold!!!" Sun Yalong widened his eyes: "If you have the ability to choose! Choose!"
"Harm, didn't choose, it's a pity, I actually just want to see Flandre's Jayce councilor."
"BLG three picks took Scout's Azir, I knew it was Azir, this guy now wants to cos Fei Fei and is crazy, as long as there is a chance, he will come to Azir addiction!" Xika evaluated with his head shaking.
In fact, developing to this day, BLG's double C priority order + mid configuration is clearly more frequent.
Actually, this is also normal. Just like when Scout first appeared, BLG also tried to let him take the helm.
At this time node in 22, even if Scout's competitive state has slipped a lot, it must be fuller than Uzi who retired and returned, otherwise Uzi would not have been unable to stabilize his appearance in the spring.
BLG's basic policy now is that in the case of not being able to take the version ADs like Aphelios or Zeri, most of them will choose the Senna-Tahm Kench combo for resource allocation.
"Xin Zhao must be banned, but LeBlanc and Akali... tsk tsk." Chashao pinched his nose in the second round of bans, distressed.
Knowing that the opponent is going to play a strong offensive lineup, Zhao Xin, as a hero who plays shamelessly in the early stage, must be guarded against, but at the same time, there are two assassin kings in the mid lane.
Although, theoretically, BLG has Tahm Kench here, theoretically it shouldn't be too afraid of these two assassins.
But after matching the ID of the opposite side, it still gives people no small psychological pressure.
"Ban Seeing Akali..."
"Seeing Akali!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, it was Bin in the top lane and Scout in the mid lane.
It is clear that although neither of them has experienced it personally, these two people are the most clear about which hero of the other party is more terrifying.
Especially Bin, who is warlike, actually looks forward to fighting the other party's Seeing Akali... but the premise is that he goes to lane!
Second round of bans —
EDG: Kennen, Poppy
BLG: Seeing Akali, Zhao Xin
"BLG is really leaving a lineup counter for the top laner. Four picks took Trundle to target Kalista, but Weiwei doesn't have many heroes to play, and the remaining good functional choices are either Trundle or Jarvan IV..."
"Holy crap!? This mid-jungle combo of EDG!"
EDG's four and five picks didn't stay for any time, and instantly locked the hero avatar.
Volibear + Akshan!
BLG's five-pick top lane choice actually doesn't have many choices.
Because the jungle and bottom of this lineup are turtle pendants, it is clear that it is a development turtle formation, then the single magic core output of the mid-laner is definitely not enough, the top lane must also supplement the core, and it is best to be an AD core.
Among the remaining strong AD cores in the field, there are actually only Gangplank and Kayle. Bin naturally chose his famous "Earth Fire" Gangplank.
Lineup determined.
【Blue side: EDG | Red side: BLG】
【Top: Gnar vs Gangplank】
【Jungle: Volibear vs Trundle】
【Mid: Akshan vs Azir】
【ADC: Kalista vs Senna】
【Support: Renata vs Tahm Kench】
"What a terrifying lineup!" Sun Yalong analyzed with his stomach slightly seriously.
"This Akshan shouldn't be chosen because the opponent took Trundle, it feels like he just wants to take it! It's just playing roaming, and Barrier can also take Trundle himself!"
"EDG is the ultimate strong offensive formation! It's like five cannons attacking the city, the real aggressiveness is full! It's the kind where there is no 5000 advantage in twenty minutes, and the base will automatically smoke!"
Xika also recalled: "Volibear jungle, I remember it was still a very popular regular choice in spring, but since the durability was added, this thing disappeared until no one played it, because it is harder to do things in the early stage and easier to die in the middle!"
Volibear's hero attribute is very extreme. As a well-known 【numerical monster】 hero, his early fighting ability is extremely strong.
But the price is that this hero only needs to have no enough economic advantage in the middle stage, and he will become an awkward super soldier who has no damage and can't carry it!
The durability version update is fatal for such extreme heroes.
The game enters loading.
"Everyone come on in this game!" Uzi encouraged his teammates optimistically while waiting for the spring water to open: "If we win this game, we can play two fewer BO5s in the playoffs!"
"I can let go of the top lane, he can't suppress me, tell me early if he misses." Bin said confidently.
"Come on, come on!" The thin Lqs shouted encouragement.
Scout didn't speak, breathing hard and looking at the screen.
For others, losing this game is only related to the starting ranking of the playoffs.
But for him, this game clearly has an extremely important 【extra meaning】.
He has never wanted to win more than now!
But when Scout pressed Tab and subconsciously checked the scoreboard, he suddenly discovered something.
"Ignite!?"
Mid-laner Akshan actually carried 【Ignite】!
Scout felt the veins on his temples jumping. His originally peaceful mentality instantly became a bit angry.
What do you take me for!
Bullying the weak? A breakthrough point!?
"Then he should play very fiercely, should I come early?" Weiwei said nonsense.
"No! No need! You just open normally and don't affect the rhythm, I'm not that easy to gank!" Scout gritted his teeth and said words he could never say before.
Of course, it is also because Azir himself is not easy to cooperate with the jungler to gank, this is a hero he plays himself.
EDG has few controls at level 1, but relying on 3 long-handed heroes, they occupy the upper hand at level 1.
But BLG maintains a very conservative position, everyone goes out of the door straight to the bottom river to insert eyes, and then immediately retreats to defend.
"Hey, come in, come in!" Weiwei called his teammates.
"Give it to them, Bin, don't go in and give skills, just change if they want to change the half-zone!"
EDG hugged and rushed into the jungle from the upper half of the river. Fortunately, the BLG crowd was prepared, and the position was extremely sneaky and backward, not giving Volibear and Renata the distance for Flash-Q.
BLG went straight to the eye inserted in the river, capturing the whole process clearly.
On the map, you can see that the EDG crowd just walked around the red zone and returned the same way soon.
But Weiwei is not stupid, and it is impossible to turn back to red open.
It is clear that the upper jungle is now the opponent's eye. Running back to open the wild not only exposes the whereabouts, but is also easy to be invaded by level 2 counter-jungle.
On the contrary, he opened in his own lower half, although the position will also be exposed, there are variable gank and jungle exchange strategies to choose from, all of which are better treatments.
1 minute 30 seconds.
Wild monsters refresh, minions go online.
Akshan approached the minions, clearly wanting to "rub a."
This operation has now become a landmark operation of Akshan in the national service, even with the popularity of "light speed QA," which can be regarded as a trend that Ye Bo accidentally brought out.
And Scout also has his own response understanding.
It is the simplest and most direct way to move forward, hard eat!
The initial understanding is to pull away the range when the minions are low on health, but in fact, doing so will pull yourself out of the 【hatred】 range of the minion wave.
Resulting in Akshan being able to white a!
In fact, as long as you get close to the minion pile when rubbing a, Akshan's secondary auto-attack damage is already reduced, and by "hard eating" to make the opponent attract the hatred of the minions.
As long as you are not hit by Akshan's three rings, the minion wave's concentrated shooting is definitely more painful, and the trade is a big profit!
A light arrow flew out.
Akshan attracted the hatred of the minions at the same time, and then immediately retreated to break the hatred.
In terms of trading, Akshan did lose a lot, but Azir was able to farm easily.
It's just.
Just when Akshan briefly pulled and walked in front of the lane... he actually shot the hook claw of E 【Heroic Swing】 toward the side wall!
Akshan flew into the air and rushed forward!
And the most critical thing is that the arrow fired from that first hook claw was locked on Azir at the longest distance, pulling the damage to the full!
{The arrow of "rub a" is actually just to hang a 5-second mark on the E skill}
This caused the E skill arrow that would have hit the minions in the first half to complete the search early and hit Azir!
After Scout understood, he blocked Akshan with his flesh, set up two sand soldiers and poked wildly.
But because Akshan hit most of the E, this wave of trading, still lost!
Scout's palms were sweating slightly.
He could clearly feel the exuberant killing intent that seemed to be about to overflow the screen, as if he didn't want his life!
【Difficult to carry Ignite, this is to have thoughts about yourself in the early stage?】
Azir walked steadily to the river, and at the key upper river entrance, inserted a vision protection that had disappeared in the level 1 group.
Based on the movement detected by the level 1 vision, Volibear might want to do things at level 2.
And this position at the river entrance, whether the opponent wants to gank or wants to counter-jungle, is the only way to pass.
1 minute 55 seconds, the second wave of minions arrived.
Azir has been exchanging health with Akshan, and without being able to reproduce the scene of level 1 E, both sides exchanged to close to 60%.
This is also why Akshan rarely learns E at level 1.
Level 1 E has a long 18-second CD, and there is no follow-up after using it.
But at this time, Akshan's movement suddenly became aggressive, moving close to the lower river.
Clearly wanting to grab level 2.
Azir stood diagonally, moving close to the upper river with his own vision protection, preferring to miss the knife and keep a distance from the opponent.
As long as he can ensure that Akshan cannot land the E skill like the first wave, even if he grabs 2, he cannot effectively consume himself, and this most difficult level 1 will soon pass...
Akshan a minions to level 2.
Scout was not panicked, stepped back directly, and prepared to eat experience from a distance to wait for level 2.
But, just at this moment.
The sound of thunder rang out in the shadows.
The hook claw was thrown, and Akshan rode and swung forward!
Just when Scout was puzzled by the other party's forced operation...
From behind his own jungle.
A bear claw that attracted thunder bombing flashed out, aimed at the chicken head, and smashed down a thunderous blow!
