Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 169 Mysterious Weapon! Mid-Lane System

As is customary, when a new hero is released, many streamers or commentators will explore the new world.

They'll be labeled as the strongest player in the Chinese server, or the strongest player on X-Fish, and then they'll be the first to try something new.

However, despite Irelia being a very popular champion, very few people make videos or livestreams making outrageous statements about her.

Some people made videos, but after watching them twice, they felt it was pointless to post them.

Without him.

Irelia is such a simple champion.

Compared to the old version of Irelia, the current Irelia is more violent and mindless. Just stack five passive stacks, Q in, and then chase with auto-attacks.

The current R even has an extremely abnormal effect - disarm.

It is precisely this effect that allows Irelia to come to the bottom lane and confront Yasuo there.

The agile Yasuo can easily fall into a disadvantageous position by triggering Irelia's disarm with a single E skill.

That's why the viewers in the OB live stream were so shocked when they saw it.

Many of the maneuvers that would be easy to perform in later versions are quite impressive in today's version where everyone rushes in and does them without hesitation.

In his previous life, Li Luo was also obsessed with Irelia for a period of time because of TheShy, and he could dominate in Diamond rank games.

However, in the competition, he is now relying on the experience of the dog, and in terms of skill with this hero alone, he is definitely not as good as the top Irelia players of later generations.

All we can teach Xiaohu is how to play and understand this hero, relying on his talent to develop this hero ahead of time.

Xiaohu nodded. He had clearly also noticed the dominance, wave clear speed, and most importantly, the ability to fight multiple opponents once Irelia gains an advantage.

But more importantly, it's Irelia's W skill!
In this version, Irelia's W skill is different from later versions; it still reduces magic damage, which means that Irelia is definitely the top mid laner in the current version.

Bringing Irelia to the mid lane without anyone noticing will likely be RNG's secret weapon in the mid lane at MSI.

A skilled mid-lane Irelia player can even suppress the enemy jungler in the early game.

This also means that after gaining absolute lane control and initiative, there will be enormous pressure on the side lanes.

Even if the jungler is a weak, passive jungler in the early game, they can still exert tremendous pressure when paired with Irelia.

"This Irelia is too overpowered, how are we supposed to play her? Maybe we should just let her go mid."

"You can't even beat Letme, and you think you can beat Uzi? Are you living in a dream?"

Inside KT's training base, the sounds of Deft and Mata complaining drew stares from the other members of the team.

Even the veteran top laner Semb from the base stood behind the two and began to watch Irelia's gameplay.

Irelia was almost level 9, while Soraka was only level 6. Ezreal, who was more agile, was being killed repeatedly and had only just reached level 5.

He died four times in less than ten minutes. Two people were fighting one, a man fighting a woman. Deft was so easily killed that he couldn't save face.

Keep in mind that he was streaming the whole time. KT's performance in the Spring Split wasn't good, and they didn't qualify for MSI.

Korean fans were already disappointed, and seeing Deft get completely destroyed by an Irelia player caused a storm of insults and abuse in the chat.

On the other hand, the junglers were quite different. Lee Sin stayed hidden while farming, never daring to show his face, while Graves, accompanied by Alistar, roamed around ganking.

The viewers in the live chat were stunned.

"The fake support only protects the ADC; the real support is the second jungler (just watching)."

"I hereby declare that the MVP of the 2018 Spring Split Finals will go to RNG's jungler, Ming (laughs)."

"I'm done talking, I'm already picking champions. Urgent question: I picked Irelia ADC, and my teammate is Yasuo support, what's going on? (Waiting online)" "Is that Letme? I just saw Xiaotian's outdoor stream, wasn't Letme eating???"

"Really? Holy crap! Who used Letme's account?!"

The rhythm after gaining an advantage is something that high-level players in the Korean server are very familiar with.

No one was underperforming, because with Alistar, Graves' roaming opportunities and chances of catching people have greatly increased.

Even if you don't get any kills, you can still coordinate with your online heroes to suppress the enemy and seize resources everywhere.

A level 10 Irelia, alone in the bottom lane, 4-0, with the help of the jungler and support, took down the first tower by herself.

After returning to the city, Li Luo upgraded his equipment to [Straw Sandals] + [Triple Strike] + [Bilgewater Scimitar].

Deft's face turned green when he saw Irelia's equipment.

Keep in mind that Ezreal only has one Tear of the Goddess and one Cull. Against a hero like this, he would probably be melted in less than three seconds, maybe even one or two.

The gold from just one Irelia alone was more than 3000 gold behind him, but there were only 15 minutes left in the game.

The good thing is that the monster finally left, pushed down the bottom lane, and Irelia has switched to the top lane.

I'm currently laning against Poppy. Although I still can't kill Poppy, it's better than being constantly on edge and fearful.

Poppy is a counter to Fiora, but Fiora managed to exert some counter-pressure in the early game of this match.

Despite being constantly trained by Graves and Alistar, he still maintains a CS (creep score) similar to Poppy, which clearly demonstrates his skill.

At this point, Fiora's equipment—Tiamat, a small wooden hammer, and cloth boots—was not as luxurious as Irelia's, but it was considered normal for farming in a solo queue game.

"Although Irelia's build is very strong, let me show you how I solo-killed her. I'll give you a tutorial."

In a live stream in China, a Fiora streamer's eyes lit up when she saw Irelia come to the top lane, and she exclaimed with delight.

Irelia is countered by Fiora, and completely countered by her.

"There's a real chance to solo kill him; we can try to outmaneuver him."

Viewers watching the live stream also enjoyed the excitement and cheered him on.

"Go for it, Fiora 14, the strongest Fiora in the Chinese server, solo kill Letme, we'll brag about it for a year, okay?"

"No exaggeration, if a streamer solo kills such a fed Irelia, I'll immediately offer him a membership."

"."

Seeing the lively comments, 14Fiora was very satisfied and began to focus on planning her solo kill.

Just to be on the safe side, he also called over a Lee Sin player who was just wandering around the jungle to increase the margin for error.

As expected, after Irelia was released, she started using her Q to fly around in the minion wave again, accumulating her passive stacks.

Finding an opportunity, Fiora nimbly moved forward, exploiting the opening in Irelia's frontal defense, and used the speed boost from that opening to escape with ease.

He is a streamer who is known for only playing Fiora.

However, this "playing skill" also refers to the heroes that can be used to dominate in high-level games. In 18, 14 abandoned his jungler role and came to the Korean server to prove himself.

Seeing the blind man come over, the 14-kill mentality arose. Taking advantage of the time before the second wave of minions arrived and before Irelia could continue her passive, he started with a diagonal Q, hitting the weak point above Irelia.

Immediately, four azure blue weaknesses appeared on the Blade Girl, and the Blind Man also stepped out from the side.

It's clearly a siege!
