League of Rattles

Chapter 1158

At this time, he must stay under the defensive tower and clear out the advancing soldiers.

In this way, even if he died, at least the defense tower was preserved. On the contrary, if he was preserved but the defense tower was directly pushed down by the opponent, he would not be so comfortable staying in the bottom lane without the tower as a ceremonial guard.

After the laning phase ended early, life will be very difficult for him, which is not the result he wanted to see.

Seeing that A Shui had no intention of retreating, several people on KT's side could understand it as well.

They are all professional players, so they know what everyone else is thinking. If you put yourself in their shoes, if they were faced with such a situation, they would actually choose the same way to deal with it.

Because a Twisted Fate can clear the line very quickly, even if they bring the minion line over, A Shui can use his skills to directly clear it out before the minion line completely enters the tower. So even if the three people want to cross his tower later, they can only choose to take it head-on and cannot rely on the minions to offset the damage of the defense tower.

Although it cannot be completely offset, it can be weakened to a part. However, if all the soldiers are dealt with first, when the three people enter under the defense tower, they will have to take the full damage of the defense tower, which will obviously be more harmful to them.

After all, these three guys are not too fat, so they can't withstand much. On the other hand, A Shui has flash.

There is also a shield, so it is not so easy for the opponent to kill him under the defense tower.

This is also true even if the opponent has a shield and a lot of control skills.

However, KT had been forced to the edge of the cliff at this time and there was no possibility of retreating. Therefore, whether they were willing or not, they could only force the troops to move over and attack him.

Just as expected, they were thinking about pushing the line of soldiers over, but before they really reached the bottom of the defense tower, A Shui had already used his Catapult Blade and Spinning Blade to completely clear out this wave of soldiers, before they even touched the edge of the defense tower.

The reason is that when they took out this hero, they had already anticipated that such a situation would occur, so they were relieved to let him stay alone on the line.

Even if the opponent wants to kill him by jumping over the tower, the tendency of the Annie can quickly deal with the minion line. Even if the opponent wants to kill him by jumping over the tower later, it will cost a huge price.

It is impossible with one or two people, and with three people, he might replace one of them directly. Even if he cannot replace him, he can still waste a lot of the opponent's time and consume their manpower and resources. In this way, the remaining people on IG can do a lot of things in other places. Therefore, using the power of one person to restrain two or three opponents is a very profitable thing in itself.

Regarding this situation, at this moment, don't they themselves understand it?
But there was no other choice, they had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

I only saw that after Gragas went up first, he took the damage from the defense tower first because he had a Karma shield on him, but he didn't lose many options.

Then the three of them attacked together. In the first round, A Shui used his shield to offset Karma's RQ, which prevented the opponent from dealing maximum damage.

But when Karma connected his chain to him later, A Shui had no way to pull it off.

Faced with three people approaching the defense tower to attack, although he used his catapult to inflict a lot of damage on them, and the defense tower cooperated with him to attack, causing the barrel's health to decrease very quickly.

But at the beginning, Gragas was wearing Karma's shield, and after his condition was reduced, he took a big sip of rum to restore a lot of blood, and then chose to withstand the output of the defense tower, walked out of the defense tower, and pulled the hatred away.

Even before leaving, he threw a bucket on the ground, which once again restricted A Shui's movement space.

Afterwards, Marta and Daft lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully killed A Shui.

Because of the rotation, no one was directly replaced in the end.

This situation could actually have been predicted from the very beginning. It took the efforts of three people to successfully get rid of A Shui, so it can be said that he died a worthy death.

What's more, before he died, he cleared the military line, so after he was resurrected, he would not lose any soldiers. For A Shui, his loss was not as great as he had imagined.

While Deft and his team seemed to have achieved a kill, after all, they combined the strength of three people, so the input and output were not as high as expected.

More importantly, because of the tower defense in the front, Marta and the others were not in a very good state.
Therefore, they had no way to continue to stay on the line and advance, so after sorting out the line of troops a little, they could only choose to return to the city to replenish their troops and improve their own status.

On the other hand, it is also to convert the money just obtained into your own equipment, so that your combat power can be improved to a certain extent.

But there wasn't much more they could do.

So it doesn't mean that after killing A Shui, you can take the opportunity to push down the defense, tower, or allow yourself to get more soldiers.

Push your own line of soldiers to the bottom of the defense tower, so that A Shui can't even reach the line of soldiers.

It's a pity that they couldn't do this.

Therefore, when it comes to this step, A Shui has done a very good job in coping with the pressure.

He ate up all the soldiers before he died, and although he failed to replace the people, he made them in poor condition because of him, and they had to return to the city for supplies.

In this way, when he resurrects and returns, the soldier line will be pushed to the door of the defense tower, so he can eat the line there without any pressure.

As long as he can block the military line directly, it will be a perfect opportunity for him to capture the line later.

The initiative was completely in his hands.

If the opponent wants to come and attack him again, it will not be so easy at that time. Just now, because he knew that he was doomed to die, A Shui didn't even use his flash.

After all, in the situation just now, even if he gave up his flash, he would only have struggled for two more seconds. However, the three opponents took turns to fight, and two seconds was not enough for him to drag the opponent to the point where their tower was destroyed and they killed him.

In this case, it is better to keep the flash so that he can operate in the next wave. If he gives up the flash this time and is killed by the opponent, the next wave of opponents will be able to come directly and target him. After he loses the flash, the opponent will continue to chase him. It is obvious that he has no power to resist.

While the opponents were doing this in the bottom lane, Jiandan and his team also attacked the top lane at the same time.

Just like when facing A Shui in the bottom lane, the opponent relied on the advantage in numbers to crush them directly, and the same situation was also true in the top lane.

When Jian Dan and Ning Wang came to the top lane and attacked the opponent, Jayce actually had no way to escape.

It was quite difficult for Jayce to fight against the Electric Rat. His own health was constantly being consumed by him, so only about 2/3 of it was left. Now he was chased by Jian Dan and Ning Wang. Even if he escaped back to the bottom of the defensive tower, Zhao Xin would rush over directly, target him directly, and then Jian Dan would provide control to knock him into the air. There was actually no need to say much about what happened afterwards.

Faced with this situation, the other party constantly feels what it means to feel powerless.

Even though he was once known as the world's number one top laner and had many glorious moments, he is now truly a hero in his twilight years.

Looking at the Janna controlled by Jian Dan, imagining the Jian Dan scene he saw, that young face, Smeb smiled bitterly in his heart.

After all, the top lane championship title that he had been pursuing was something that Jian Dan had already won a long time ago, and he didn't care about it. After only playing a few games last year and winning the top lane championship, this year he chose to change positions without hesitation and now became a support.

And even after changing to a support, his performance is so outstanding. It can only be said that he is a talented person. No matter where he goes, he is still very talented.

In contrast, people like him who are pursuing their goals so hard now don’t know when the end will come. Moreover, as he gets older, he can clearly feel that his reactions are significantly different from before. E-sports relies heavily on natural reaction.

Once a professional player feels that his reaction is starting to decline, it means that his condition has become unstable and is starting to decline, which is a very dangerous signal.

Therefore, he knew very well that if he still could not win the championship this year, there would be basically no possibility for him to win in the future.

Especially since he is already quite old, the next thing he needs to consider is issues like military service, which weighs heavily on him. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for him to pursue his dreams purely like before.

So much so that he was actually feeling very uncomfortable at this time.

It was difficult to make it into the semi-finals, but who could have imagined that they would be facing the invincible IG.

So much so that when facing the opponent at this time, they couldn't even find any possibility of winning. No matter in the bp stage or in the game, IG never gave them any chance.

The two sides seemed to be fighting non-stop, but IG had always held the initiative firmly in their hands, and they were never given the slightest chance.

Logically speaking, each team will always make operational errors or wrong decisions, which will give them some opportunities.

However, when IG was laning at this time, the players might make mistakes, but at most they would be killed once, which was no big deal.

But in terms of decision-making, they do act in an orderly manner and are not interfered with at all. It is as if there is a robot directing the operation of their machine. Everyone has their own duties and does their own things well. There is not much interference between each other. Everyone does their own thing well, so naturally there will be no mistakes or the like.

The reason for this is naturally because it is simple. This brain is working rapidly. If his brain does not make mistakes, there will naturally be no problems in decision-making.

After catching the opponent's Jayce in the top lane, the advantage of the Electric Rat was established. Then, there was no need for Jian Dan and Ning Wang to continue catching him.

After all, the opponents all ran to the bottom lane to catch A Shui and kill him, so now the only place they can attack is the opponent's bottom lane.

But if you run from the top lane to the bottom lane at this time, too much time will be wasted.

Instead of doing this, it is better to help Kennen and lead the soldiers to the bottom of the defense tower, let the defense tower swallow it, so that the opponent's Jayce will lose more soldiers, and the gap between the two sides will be widened. Then he will return home directly, replenish his own status, and convert his own economy into equipment to enhance his strength.

At the same time, Jiandan also needs to go back to add more eyes.

As a support, in addition to catching people, he also has to arrange the vision first, which is his fundamental task.

As a support, you don’t have to catch people, but you must at least control the vision.

If the team becomes a blind cage due to vision problems, then once it becomes a breakthrough point, it will be your responsibility as a support.

Because this is your basic task, it is irrefutable. No matter how much you have done for the team and how much advantage you have helped the team gain, if such basic reasons lead to a defeat in a team battle or even the end of the game, then you as a support are an absolute sinner.

It’s just that many times everyone overlooks the importance of vision to a team, so that even if they become a breakthrough point due to reasons such as poor vision, people often don’t pay too much attention to this aspect.

Although others don't care too much about this, I do care very much about it.

Because for him, if the team fails and loses the game due to reasons such as vision control, then it is his absolute responsibility.

Of course, he could not approve of his own performance, but fortunately, he had always attached great importance to vision.

It has even been emphasized repeatedly, so every IG member will definitely go out with one or even two true eyes if there is free space on their body.

Therefore, every place has their vision and is under control.

As a result, every move of the opponent is actually within their control, and for this reason the vision score at this time is very high.

In fact, this is a very strange thing, because in the past summer games, IG's vision control was actually very low, and IG rarely arranged vision at that time.

Because things were simple back then, we didn’t really care about this aspect.

At that time, there was a dotted line as a reminder, so he knew exactly what the opponent was doing. In that case, there was naturally no need for some eye positions to embellish it.

But later on, he began to strengthen the control in this area, especially when reviewing the game and various private training sessions. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of vision to his teammates, and took advantage of them time and time again on the court.

Therefore, other IG players also realized how huge the benefits of having an advantage in vision are.

In the early days, when LPL faced LCK, in addition to being crushed tactically by the opponent, the same was true for Yewei's Bukong. The opponent was willing to spend a lot of money on the eye position at that time, so after every place in the jungle was lit up by the opponent, all their movements were directly seen by the opponent. With nowhere to hide, even if your personal combat power is stronger and your personal operation is more showy, for the opponent, no matter how showy you are, I will directly send a large number of people to catch you and kill you.

In this way, I will have the advantage, and the advantage you seem to have in the previous moments will be destroyed in one wave.

It's like if a man from the martial arts world fights against a soldier one-on-one, the man from the martial arts world will most likely win, but if ten men from the martial arts world fight against ten soldiers, then the ten soldiers will most likely win in the end.

And if 1000 soldiers were to fight against 1000 gangsters, unless these gangsters had the power to fight one against a hundred and could directly break out of the encirclement, otherwise, with the same number of people, facing the direct encirclement and killing of the army, it is obvious that no matter how strong their individual strengths were, they could not be the opponent of the group.

This is a very realistic problem. Regular troops and guerrilla soldiers are on completely different levels.

This was the situation in the past.

LCK has a large-scale and systematic system to carry out a series of training.

Therefore, whether it is tactical arrangement, personnel matching or lack of vision control, etc., we are ahead in all aspects.

In contrast, the LPL at that time was simply an Internet cafe team. It was equivalent to five kings getting together to play against the opponent. It was a blessing to be able to win one or two games.

As for wanting to defeat the other party, to be honest, it is completely wishful thinking.

It's simply unrealistic for you, a person who has not received real training, to compete with the opponent.

This is also the reason why the past few years have been very dark.

But now, as LPL learned from the opponent, learned the system, construction, tactical arrangement, vision control, etc., relying on the super talent of LPL, they finally caught up with the opponent. Last year, they successfully won the final championship. All this is inseparable from learning from the opponent, but now the simple sudden rise has made the vision control become their leading advantage.

This is a fantasy for anyone, but the simple control of eye positions comes from later generations after all. With the experience of standing on the shoulders of giants, he naturally has a great advantage when facing people of this era.

So the two sides are not on the same level.

They went home to regroup, replenish their wards and equipment, and then returned to their respective stages.

After Jiandan and A Shui met up, they headed towards the bottom lane.

He was just caught and killed by the opponent, but A Shui didn't really care because he had already eaten up all his soldiers before he died. Now that he is back on the line, he can fight against the wave of soldiers that came to the defense tower, thus blocking the soldier line.

Even if the opponent wants to train him again, he has the advantage in advancing, so he can do the same as before and completely clear the minion line and prevent it from entering the tower.

In this case, if the opponent wants to kill you, you can only use manpower to resist.

But in the last wave, his teammates were not around him and they all went out to catch people. But this time, Jian Dan and Ning Wang were near the wild area to provide support. If the opponent still wanted to target A Shui and wanted to train him again, the consequences would be very serious.

The reason why Ning Wang was near A Shui at this time was naturally because he had ganked both the middle and upper lanes. With nothing to do for the time being, he needed to clear out the wild monsters in his jungle first, so that he could eat all the resources he could get and ensure that his development would not fall too far behind.

If a jungler is only keen on catching people and does not clear his own jungle, he may still make a profit in one or two waves, but after it goes on for a long time, no matter whether you catch three, four, or even ten or eight people, it is still unacceptable.

Because it seems that you have caught a lot of people, but you don’t kill wild monsters and don’t improve your level, so you will become the person with the lowest level in the whole field.

Once this happens, even if the opponent has been caught several times in a row before, after his equipment, level, etc. are all upgraded, his own combat effectiveness will still crush the jungler.

In this case, it will become a breakthrough point for its own team, which is not good news for any team.

This is also the reason why spicy hotpot has become a breakthrough.

Sometimes, his style of play can really confuse the opponent. In this way, when they have an absolute advantage, the initiative of the situation will naturally be in their hands.

But there is also a hidden danger, that is, it will explode directly if it cannot go with the wind.

Once the jungler explodes, his teammates will also be greatly affected.

This is actually understandable. After all, you are enjoying the benefits of the jungler, so when the jungler collapses, the consequences will naturally be borne by the whole team. However, this very extreme way of playing is actually disadvantageous to many people.

In contrast, they would prefer players who perform more steadily.

This is also the reason why Mala Xiangguo was directly pressed to the bench. After he was studied thoroughly, it would naturally not be easy for him to make use of such experience in the future.

In fact, Xiaogou and Xiangguo complement each other.

Their mid laner is not that strong, so there is no way for them to assist Xiang Guo in invading the opponent's jungle.

But when Xiang Guo was able to directly target the opponent's jungler, fortunately, he had a very powerful AD who could directly blow up the opponent's bottom lane.

In this way, we can rely on the absolute advantage of the bottom lane to radiate directly into the jungle, allowing Mala Xiangguo to invade the opponent's jungle area. Our own bottom lane duo will always be our solid backing and will arrive at our side one step ahead of the opponent.

It is precisely because of this steadfast support that he can invade the opponent's jungle area unscrupulously and at will, without ever worrying about the opponent's teammates arriving next.

Because his teammates are stronger than the opponents, it is natural that his people will always be the first to take position. Once the opponents want to counterattack, it will be what he wants.

Sometimes, the stronger the strength is, the better it is. Instead, it is necessary to be compatible with each other and be able to cooperate with each other. Only in this way can we put on a very outstanding performance.

Maybe when two of the world's top players get together, their performance is really sparse, or maybe they are just two second-rate players, but when they get together, they can have a top-notch performance.

This is the importance of compatibility.

Why are there so many so-called galactic battleships that are formed every time, but nothing happens in the end?
It is because of these so-called galactic battleships that there are actually too many strong players, which leads to their incompatibility and inability to perform perfectly together.

If a team is strong, there must be people who take on sacrifices. Only in this way can it be a complete team.

Of course, if you can be as unique as the IG team, it is not impossible to challenge.

But it is obvious that among so many seasons, there is only one IG.

The reason why IG does not have any sacrifice positions is because they need extra resources at this time and can directly go to the opponent to plunder, so naturally they don’t need to seize the economy of their own C position.

To put it bluntly, a team can only support two C positions. If you want to play a trident lineup, the only way at this time is to plunder outward.

Only by plundering outwards can we ensure that the equipment of the third C position can be supported.

As for plundering from outside, it is nothing more than snatching the opponent's wild area resources and getting a large number of heads to make up for one's own economic deficiencies.

IG has been doing this all along and has been quite successful.

At least until now, there haven't been any problems with their style of play.

It is also for this reason that no team can learn from them now.

This style of play is mainly based on the fact that each player has top-notch strength and cooperates with each other perfectly.

Although Jiandan and Lingwang came to the lower half of the jungle area, they did not choose to show up at this time. Instead, they kept hiding in the jungle, trying to fish for enforcement to see if the opponent would appear directly.

What made them feel a little regretful was that when A Shui came to the line, he cleared the soldiers directly on the empty line, but except for Deft, the rest of the opponents were nowhere to be seen.

Obviously, he guessed that they might run directly to the wild area, so at this time he chose the jungler and the support to work together and run to other places.

After seeing this scene, Jian Dan and Ning Wang knew that they would not find any opportunities for the time being, so without any hesitation, after clearing the wild monsters in the lower half, they went to the upper half.

Because the middle lane was constantly torturing the Tsar at this time, the Tsar's health was only about 2/3 after just a brief fight, so there was no need to let them go over to help.

The reason why they did not choose to forcefully attack Deft was, on the one hand, because Ize was very flexible, and on the other hand, they were actually worried that the opponent was crouching nearby. If they took the initiative to attack, it would give the opponent space to counterattack.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is better to kill the opponent's Jayce at this time, because relatively speaking, the biggest threat to them at this time is actually this Jayce.

After all, before every team battle, Jayce would consume some energy first. They only needed to strengthen his hits a few times to directly lower their status. In the subsequent team battles, the impact would of course be huge.

Therefore, at this time, it is crucial to suppress Jayce's development and cripple him, which is very important for the interests of the team.

Therefore, at this time, it would be more advantageous for the two of them to suppress Jayce first and let Kennen gain strength.

First, you need to severely damage the opponent while strengthening your own team battle weapons. If you can only make a good team fight during the team fight, it will basically be like the collapse of the sky and the earth.

At this time, the fighting between the two sides was actually very chaotic, with each side running around on the map, looking for the other side's true position.

And because he was accompanied by a wind girl, Ning Wang played very boldly at this time. After doing a big thing in the top lane, he continued to go into the opponent's jungle, trying to find the opponent's position directly.

It's just that at this time, both sides seemed to be playing a game of hide-and-seek, constantly circling around each other, so that Jiandan and the others couldn't find Mata and the others.

Everyone knows that Ning Wang’s combat effectiveness is very strong at this time. How could Mata be so stupid as to stay in the jungle and wait for them to come and find his position?
Because they had set up their own vision in the jungle, as soon as they entered the exercise, they already knew that the opponent was coming, so they chose to retreat early.

It was because of this reason that Jiandan and Ling Wang were unable to find each other. However, Jiandan had actually thought of this from the very beginning.

Enter the opponent's jungle, find the opponent's position, and at the same time see if you can gain some advantage.

It’s just a pity that not only did they fail to find the opponent’s jungler’s position, they also failed to gain any advantage, because the wild monsters in the jungle had already been cleared out, so for them at this time, there was naturally no advantage to be gained.

That's why they saw that there was no advantage to be gained, and then they simply played with you. The two of them did not stay for too long, and directly chose to leave the opponent's wild area and return to their own territory, first eating up all the resources they could, and then trying to find an opportunity.

It’s just that at this time, because everyone is running around the map, looking for opportunities everywhere, everyone is very careful in their positioning, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be caught by the opponent and their rhythm will be disrupted.

Therefore, it was difficult for him and his team to find opportunities later on. Everyone was very cautious. They pushed out the troops quickly and then retreated, waiting for the next wave of troops to arrive before moving forward a little bit. Even if they moved out a little bit, it was unrealistic to seize their opportunity at this time.

Once they see the opponent's jungler or support appear, these people will retreat to the bottom of their own defense tower without hesitation.

In this situation, Mata and his team could hardly move forward.

Therefore, when they couldn't find any opportunities later, they could only return to their own ADs.

After seeing Jiandan and the others coming back, both A Shui and Deft breathed a sigh of relief. After all, without a support by their side, they were actually afraid that the opponent would run up to them and catch them at any time.

Having their rhythm disrupted in this way, their subsequent development will naturally be greatly affected, making them very uncomfortable.

But now that they have assistants by their side, it means that on the one hand, the opponent will not be able to continue to arrest them so unscrupulously. On the other hand, with assistants protecting them, their safety is naturally greatly improved.

Therefore, it is a little easier when laning.

In the beginning, it was basically a back and forth battle, with the other side pushing the line forward and then you pushing forward, which resulted in the two sides rarely meeting each other, so it was actually quite dull and there's nothing much to say.

Because you push the line of troops over and I push the line of troops over, so at this time both sides are normal and peaceful.

Naturally, this leads to a situation where no one can do anything to anyone else at this time, and there is no question of who suppresses whom.

But this game was not boring for the audience.

Because this is not like in LCK, where it is a mutual push back and forth, and then there is no follow-up.

In fact, there was really no follow-up from these people, but the support and the jungler were constantly looking for opportunities frantically, and they were always looking for opportunities to catch people online. It seemed that they did not cause too many kills, but they forced the opponent to use his flash or reduced his health to a low level, forcing him to go back for recuperation. Such things did happen from time to time.

Therefore, it is naturally very exciting to watch for these audiences.

It doesn't mean that a kill must occur for the most exciting duel. The game between top masters is sometimes so exciting that it doesn't require any kills. The battle between them is already breathtaking.

Both sides returned to their respective lines. On the one hand, it was because both sides were busy doing things so frequently that no one could seize the opportunity. On the other hand, it was because the little dragon was about to refresh at this time.

So next both sides will start making certain preparations for the battle for the little dragon. Because of this, they will be very tacit and will spontaneously disband the cooperation between the jungler and the support.

At this time, Jiandan had his own thoughts on this. It was obvious that the other party did not want to give up the second little dragon, and the same was true for them.

So at this time, what they need to do is to see if they can do something around this little dragon so that they can gain a greater advantage in the next team battle.

In this way, it will naturally be more difficult for the other party to face them later.

IG still has the initiative on the field now. Once they use this little dragon to do something in the next team fight and gain the advantage, perhaps their advantage will be even greater. In this case, it will be even more difficult for KT.

I just thought about it over and over again, it's simple, and I couldn't figure out what article I could use it for for the time being.

So we can only take it one step at a time. Anyway, they are ahead in economic equipment, so the advantage is still quite huge.

In the next team fight, the room for maneuver on my side will be much greater than I imagined.

It is also because of this that they are absolutely sure to win this team battle at this time.

On the other hand, KT has not only reached the edge of the cliff, but more importantly, they do not have many choices at this time. If they continue to send important resources over, what awaits them in the future is nothing but slow death.

Even though they know that the gap between themselves and the other party is actually very huge at this time, for them, it is better to take advantage of this period to give it a try.

If you win, you will naturally hug the motorcycle with a bicycle. If you don’t lose, you will just lose the game and start over again for the next one.

They knew from the beginning that they were no match for the other party, and they actually agreed with this point of view. In this case, for them, putting themselves in the posture of a challenger, when facing the other party later, there would naturally not be too much psychological gap.
Everyone is well aware of IG's strength, so Deft and his team also feel that the chances of them defeating the opponent are very slim.

All they can do at this time is to make an attempt to see if they can break some inherent concepts and win the game. However, if they lose, it is actually expected, as they are already prepared to accept their failure.

Therefore, even if we lose to such a team, it is not shameful.
