Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 390 Finals (Part )

When Titan's silhouette appeared on the hero selection interface, everyone's first reaction was questioning.

After all, facing a top laner of Tang Rou's level, it seems a little difficult to keep the situation stable with just a Titan.

Considering that Blue Rain even used Flandre instead of 957, the doubts about BP became even greater.
But no matter what, choosing a Titan to start a fight in the top lane is a fairly common BP choice. There are no serious problems except that it is not easy to stay in the fight.

So everyone could only hope that Xiaoqiang could use the pressure-resistance of the old Holy Lance in the parallel world to withstand Sister Rou's bombardment, while praying that Blue Rain's BP in other lanes would not be too bad.

It was not until the subsequent BP that Blue Rain selected Quinn as the top laner and Thresh as the support.

Naturally, there is no black technology like jungle Titan in this version, so after excluding the top lane and support, the only place for this Titan is -

Middle road.

To be honest, the mid lane Titan is not a particularly difficult BP to understand.

Although there is no Big B teacher who is good at black technology in this world, Titan, as one of the choices for tool mid lane, also has a certain appearance rate in the ranking.

Even during the game, there is still a chance to play.

But the question is, in the matchup between Chu Yunxiu and Ye Xiu, a direct dialogue between the two top three mid laners in the league, wouldn’t choosing Titan seem a little...weak?

And I have never seen Chu Yunxiu play a similar hero on weekdays...

LCK here.

"Will they choose to sacrifice the mid laner to start the tempo?" An Bixin observed the two teams' game on BP attentively and analyzed tentatively.

Blue Rain chose Thresh and Nautilus' double hooks in the mid support at the same time, replacing the commonly used top support to form the front row. There is no need to say much about their ability to catch people.

It is reasonable to choose Quinn in the top lane to make up for the lack of damage to a certain extent.

Since the mid lane's ability to radiate the entire field in the early and mid-game is definitely greater than that of the side lanes, this single Titan in the middle can, to a large extent, have a huge deterrent effect on Xingxin's two side lanes at the same time.

"Just... just an exchange, can it stop Xingxin's 'Trident'?" He couldn't help but feel confused.

Although the existence of Titan can indeed make the development of the two side lanes less comfortable, it cannot limit the development of the mid laner.

As long as Ye Xiu chooses a normal magic core or magic assassin, the effect will be greater than that of Titan in the later stages.

The Trident will still be able to be activated at that time.

Moreover, considering Tang Rou's combat power, if Quinn is chosen in front of her, can she really survive the laning phase and achieve the desired effect?

"It depends on Blue Rain's specific arrangements during the game." Li Xianghe pondered.

As far as BP is concerned, he really didn't see much that could be called the key to breaking the game.

But his subconscious told him that the Titan must have other deeper meanings and could not be just a simple tool mid laner.

Another group that had similar ideas to him was Xingxin.

"What is the purpose of Lan Yu's move?" Ming Kai frowned.

"To be on the safe side, should we first give Xiao Tang a hero who is not so good at walking on a tightrope?" Ye Xiu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out Blue Rain's arrangement for the time being.

Tang Rou naturally had no objection. Ryze, who was about to buy a house in the ban position, was released, so she simply picked the top lane Ryze to try.

In general, the BP stage is not enough for insiders to see too many tactical things for the time being, but just bringing out these unconventional heroes is enough to make many viewers start looking forward to the next competition.

"Wow, it's worthy of being the summer finals. The hero selection part is very interesting at the beginning! I just wonder if Blue Rain has any tactics designed to target Xingxin." Wei Chen on the commentary desk said happily.

As a person involved in the matter, he has never doubted the deeper meaning behind Blue Rain's decision to hire him for publicity.

But the objective reality is, because he praised Xingxin so much that day, the public opinion environment of Xingxin improved a lot, and many Xingxin fans' impression of him changed greatly.

That's why he was able to successfully serve as the commentator for the summer finals amid the audience's cheers.

Otherwise, given his identity as the head of the Iron-Blooded Monk Temple, he would have to endure some criticism.

Even so, before the day started, Wei Chen repeatedly reminded himself to be objective.

It’s fine for me to sell the image of a Blue Rain fan leader at other times, but today I must show the professionalism and objectivity of a neutral commentator!
However, in the BP stage, he has not shown anything so far, and there is really nothing to praise about any side.

The game officially begins.

Blue Rain did not hesitate to start their group invasion in the first level group, forcing Xingxin to switch jungle areas with them.

The upper jungle area was occupied by Blue Rain, so Xingxin naturally occupied the lower jungle area of ​​Blue Rain.

"Occupy the upper jungle area? Would you rather sacrifice the safety of the bottom lane to defend the top lane? Why?" Qiao Yifan's brain was working rapidly.

Blue Rain and Fanhua are the only two teams in the league that are qualified to play four protecting one lane. Gangzi's strength is certainly not as good as Zhang Jiale's, but it is not bad either, and his technical characteristics are very suitable for four protecting one.

Since Blue Rain chose Titan as a tool mid laner for Chu Yunxiu, a large part of the output responsibility will definitely be transferred to Gangzi.

But even so, they still chose to invade the upper half?

Qiao Yifan was thinking about Blue Rain's intention when he suddenly heard Yu Wenbo shout in the voice chat: "Brother Gang is back!"

It turned out that before going online, Yu Wenbo was wandering around in the lower jungle area of ​​the blue team. Because Krystal had not appeared in his vision, Yu Wenzhou also missed the vision after setting up the initial vision.
In order to detect the opponent's movements, he tentatively walked out of the jungle exit near Blue Rain's second tower, wanting to take a look at Blue Rain's bottom lane.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at the result. Once you look, you will immediately find that Krystal’s Sivir is standing under the second tower, and the magic circle for returning to the city is gradually taking shape under her feet.

Why was he going back to the city at this time? Yu Wenbo's brain was overloaded for a moment.

The military line is almost refreshed. If you are unlucky when returning to the city now, you might lose a soldier.

Because there was no level 1 team fight, Krystal was in a state of full health, full skills and no spare money.

Why go back to the city?

His mouth was faster than his brain, and he quickly reported on the voice channel.

Looking at the small map, the avatar of Gangzi, who was returning to the city, flashed by, and Qiao Yifan's mind buzzed.

All the doubts about Blue Rain's opening strategy finally came together at this time, and he understood what Blue Rain was going to do.

Without thinking too much, he immediately started to return to the city without hesitation: "Hurry back to Wenbo, Blue Rain needs to change lanes!"

That's right, it's a line change.

This tactic, which appeared when the LPL just started, was once one of the traditional skills used by major competition areas at the beginning of the game.

By exchanging the upper and lower lanes, we can cover up the laning gap between ourselves and our opponents, while at least ensuring that the bottom lane group can develop more smoothly in the early stages.

As for the top lane, it didn't have much status at that time, especially the tool lane, which was chosen to withstand pressure.

At that time, in order to ensure the development of the bottom lane, each team would consider whether to switch lanes at the beginning of the game and let their own top laner bear the pressure and take the beating.

The problem is that, although the lane-swapping tactic can indeed ensure the development of the C position and cover up the problem of weakness in the lane to a certain extent, the lane-swapping game is really far less entertaining than a head-on confrontation. Moreover, in this era when everyone is exploring the limits of tactics and technology, it is somewhat inappropriate to let the top laners play a courageous style of lane-swapping and messing around when everyone is exploring the limits of tactics and technology.

So at this point when the spring season playoffs started, Pei Yunteng took the initiative to add the first blood tower system and the defense tower protection mechanism.

The defense tower in the bottom lane is more fragile than that in the other two lanes and is easier to push down. The first player to push down the tower can get more gold coins.

These two changes clearly tell everyone not to think about changing lanes all the time, and just send the MR and support to the bottom lane.

And it turns out that this is indeed an effective method.

Since then, the lane-swapping tactic has indeed been greatly reduced in all major regions, and everyone has begun to honestly return to the normal laning rhythm.

It just so happened that a large number of heavy-armored warriors were strengthened and rose in the changes, which allowed the two super top laners to reach their peak.

But...is the lane switching tactic really completely useless after the first blood tower appears?

of course not.

In a certain parallel world, even on the basis of the first blood tower, the plating is added again, which further emphasizes the mechanism of laning and not changing lanes.

Didn’t it also fail to stop the increasingly crazy line-swapping craze among the major teams?
As long as the benefits brought by changing lanes can offset or even exceed the disadvantages of the first blood tower mechanism, then changing lanes is worth it!
So the question is, does Blue Rain have any motivation to change the line? Absolutely.

In other words, lane switching is the nightmare of teams with strong laning power.

If Blue Rain successfully switched lanes, no matter how strong Tang Rou was, she would not be able to gain any advantage under the double-teaming of the bottom lane duo.

Her original absolute advantage in the top lane would vanish in an instant.

But Li Xuanjun is not like that.

Anyway, I will get beaten if I attack Tang Rou, and I will get beaten if I attack the bottom lane group, so I might as well be a low-level horse and replace it with Xingxin's bottom lane group.

Even because Quinn is also a long-range hero, what he has to do is basically the equivalent of a single AD carrying the pressure of a duo. Maybe he can play more comfortably than facing Tang Rou.

As expected of Blue Rain, Qiao Yifan couldn't help but sigh.

The line-switching tactic is not a unique skill, and almost everyone uses it during the regular season of the spring season.

But Blue Rain was able to resolutely use this long-forgotten big move when almost the entire league had formed a fixed mindset and gave up on lane switching.

They are worthy of being the most tactically savvy team in LPL.

Fortunately, Wenbo saw the opportunity! It's not too late!

"If he changes, we should change too!" Ye Xiu didn't care about the question of who had the command authority, and quickly told the upper and lower groups to return to the city and change lines.

As long as they can fight in the top lane, even if they will be threatened by Huang Shaotian in the top lane, it is much more worthwhile than doing nothing and letting the opponent switch lanes successfully.

So, on Xingxin's side, Tang Rou, Yu Wenbo and Qiao Yifan immediately started to return to the city at the same time, preparing to keep up with Blue Rain's lane change.

But at the same time, the other side.

Gangzi, who was returning to the city, held his breath for several seconds after Yu Wenbo appeared at the second tower and disappeared in an instant. Finally, at the last moment of the countdown to returning to the city, he canceled the return.

Then, he calmly chose to go online normally.

"Captain, will the other side be fooled?" He asked Yu Wenzhou somewhat unconfidently while logging on.

"Don't worry, you have to believe in the responsiveness of Xingxin's command system." Yu Wenzhou chuckled.

"Today, I'm going to play against Tang Rou!" Yu Wenzhou smiled slightly as he looked at Tang Rou who had just emerged from the shadows and was online.

The initiative is in our hands.

That’s right, Blue Rain did want to change lanes, and they wanted to do so very urgently.

But they also knew very well that Xingxin would definitely guard against their tactics that specifically targeted their opponents.

If we switch lanes without any preparation and are caught by Xingxin and switch lanes, there is a high possibility that we will fail.

At that time, Tang Rou will be able to easily take down the tower with the help of the defense tower's protection mechanism, and it won't be long before she can raise an unstoppable monster.

So, they set up a game within a game.

He pretended to return to the city to let Xingxin notice and attract them to choose to switch lanes.

Then quietly cancel the return to the city and go online normally.

For ordinary teams, Yu Wenzhou would never pull this trick, because there is a more than 90% chance that it is just a flirtation for the blind.

But for a team like Xingxin, Yu Wenzhou believed that with their tactical sensitivity and fear of him, they would definitely fall into his trap.

This game is all about psychological warfare!

And the reality is, it is true!

After changing the wave line with a grunt, he saw a happy Quinn on the opposite side. When they met, he happily gave them a thumbs up.

Before Yu Wenbo could react, Qiao Yifan's face already looked a little ugly.

Got fooled.

……

"Huh? Happy's top and bottom lanes chose to return to the city at the same time, and then... they switched lanes!"

"Let's not talk about whether lane switching is playable in this version. Why would Happy, a team that focuses on laning, actively choose to switch lanes? Wouldn't this wipe out Tang Rou's advantage?"

Wei Chen looked at the treacherous situation on the field, blinked, and felt as if he was in a dream.

Xingxin took the initiative to choose to change lanes?
What kind of science fiction story is this?
But in the eyes of him, who did not notice what happened in the bottom lane in a short period of time, and in the eyes of most of the audience, the situation was like this.

"If we switch lanes, the single-lane advantage will be gone. Blue Rain can even push the tower faster because of the tower defense mechanism. No matter how you look at it, it's Happy that's making the most money."

Wei Chen was completely numb, and the barrage of comments began to flood the screen with “?” and “sudden illness”, indicating that the audience was as confused as he was.

Only a very small number of spectators who are familiar with Blue Rain and have good tactical sensitivity can keenly perceive Blue Rain's arrangement in the bottom lane.

Then, he secretly praised Blue Rain for their strength.

In any case, because Happy "actively" chose to switch lanes, Blue Rain was able to let their lanes spend the first few minutes comfortably at almost no cost.

Blue Rain's tactics produced brilliant results right from the start.

　I'm guilty, but I have a test on Friday, a three-credit test.

　　So spare me.
