LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 233 The gears of fate will definitely change in my hands!
2019年1月30日，21点30分。

The first day of the third week of the LPL Spring Season is at the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center in Shanghai!

When the game time reached 21 and a half minutes in the third game, FPX fought a two-for-five team battle in the upper river, and after widening the gap in kill ratio and economy, the balance of victory clearly tilted towards FPX.

In the previous two hours, SN and FPX, who were at the top of the points ranking and also undefeated in a BO3, jointly contributed two exciting games to the LPL audience tonight.

In the first game, SN used a three-poke lineup of jungle Mantis + mid laner Zoe + AD Ize. With the help of Draize killing Doinb's Akali at level 6, they opened up the situation and established an advantage. In the mid-to-late team battles, with the support of Wolf's Urgot and Snake's Tam, the three-poke lineup easily defeated FPX, which lacked recovery means and shields.

In the second game, FPX used the charging system of top lane Aatrox + jungle Elise + mid lane Sion + AD Kaisa + support Alistar, and defeated SN, which used LeBron and EZ as the poke core.

The two sides exchanged blows, each showing off their unique skills.

In the third game, FPX designed a very strange lineup through BP: Crocodile on the top lane, Spider in the jungle, Urgot in the middle lane, Varus in the bottom lane, and Tam as the support.

Compared to FPX, SN's lineup is much more normal: Gangplank on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Akali in the middle, Kaisa in the bottom lane, and Alistar as the support.

When SN, who was on the red team, locked Akali on the first floor, most of the audience, including the commentators, thought that SN could easily win this game.

But it was Doinb's mid laner Urgot that caused a lot of trouble for SN's early and mid-term offense, and they even lost the 20-minute team battle for the big dragon.

Compared to the traditional mage mid laner, Urgot's physique is undoubtedly much stronger, and his arms are not short. He can also slightly suppress Akali during the laning phase.

Even at level 6, without a jungler to provide damage, it would be difficult for Akali to kill Urgot who has a shield, and if she chases too deep into the tower, there is a risk of being killed in return.

And as time goes by, the front row of FPX's lineup becomes more and more solid. The output of Kaisa and Akali is obviously not enough, and Langxing was targeted in the early stage. Unless the economically backward Captain performs perfectly and hits full AOE, he is no different from a cannon soldier in team battles.

The only thing to be thankful for was that in the team battle, SN kept pulling back and pulled FPX out of the Baron pit, causing the Baron to recover its full health.

The team fight started because Drizel's Akali was stunned and focused by Jin Gong's crocodile's flash W and was killed instantly. Thanks to the fact that SN lasted long enough, she was able to revive and TP back to the battlefield immediately.

The remaining three players of FPX were not in good condition and had no flash. Facing Akali who had flash and ultimate, they did not dare to take the risk of turning back to start the Baron.

But no matter what, FPX's chances of winning are clearly higher!

In the stands, FPX fans cheered enthusiastically. They actually thought that they would lose this BO3 at the beginning, especially when they saw that SN locked Akali with a 20% winning rate for Cui Ze on the first floor more than minutes ago, they had already imagined the scene of their home team being slaughtered by Akali.

But now it seems that Doinb's weird choice of Urgot in the mid lane is quite effective. Not only is he as good as Akali in a single line, but his role in team battles is even greater.

It seems... everyone has overestimated Cui Ze's Akali in the past. Is the 100% win rate just a facade?
As for the live broadcast rooms on various platforms, there are even more people who are pessimistic about SN.

[Tell a joke, someone's fans brag about Akali being the best in the world before the game [laugh][laugh][laugh]]

[World No. 2 Akali 1-5, mixed mid laner Urgot 2- [dog head][dog head][dog head], so filial to my family! ]

[What a mess, he is just a newcomer who just entered LPL not long ago. People who don’t know him would think he is a world champion. ]

[He has the skills, but he still lacks a lot of experience. Rookie came to China and played for four years before winning the championship. I advise some people not to brag about their performance as soon as they arrive in LPL! ]

[Wolf is so miserable. A good candidate for the top lane has no one to protect him. The whole team has to play around with this new traffic mid laner. Is he worthy? ]

Compared to the impatient "settlement" in the barrage, Miller and Wawa on the commentary desk were relatively rational.

I have been commentating on League of Legends games for many years. Although this two-for-five exchange gave FPX a 4k economic lead, SN still had a chance to turn the tables.

Thanks to the good jungle planning and resource exchange in the early stage, SN got three little dragons in total, 1 water and 2 fire. The next wave of little dragons will be refreshed at 24 minutes, and they will still be fire dragons!

If they can take down three fire dragons, SN's output ability will be enough to make up for a certain level and equipment gap, laying the foundation for a comeback in the late game.

Miller commented:
"After this teamfight, SN should try to avoid the fight next. Fortunately, FPX's lineup is not very strong in pushing forward. Without the Baron buff, it is difficult to threaten SN's three second towers."

"The most important thing now is to give the economy to the Captain. As long as the Captain's development can keep up, SN still has a chance to turn defeat into victory after 30 minutes!"

The doll beside him nodded:

"Yes, now SN must avoid fighting, especially be careful of the spiders that may be crouching in any bushes in the jungle. Once they are controlled by the cocoon, at best they will lose members, at worst they will lose the tower or the dragon."

"SN's ideal situation now is to take advantage of the next wave of fire dragons to replace resources by relying on the soldiers' line operations as much as possible, and pull out FPX's upper tower to replenish the economy."

Wawa's understanding of the game is not very good, but from a God's perspective, the analysis in his words is quite reasonable.

FPX is currently at its peak. Although SN's lineup has three Cs and no shortage of output, the front row composed of Prince + Minotaur is not as solid as FPX's three front rows.

And just as Wawa said, after losing the team battle, SN did become temporarily cowardly, fighting with FPX in military operations to avoid their sharp edge.

However, this requires junglers and supports to spend more money on vision, which seriously slows down their equipment update progress.

If this continues, the tankiness of the jungler and support will not be able to keep up, and when they have to fight, SN's lineup will easily be defeated head-on by FPX.

We must find a way to break this situation!
Cui Ze calmly commanded in the voice chat: "We must fight the Fire Dragon team in 24 minutes, otherwise it will be a slow death! Before the team fight, I must make the Ghost Book and buy a stopwatch."

Before he finished speaking, his teammates already understood his intention.

Lang Xing took the initiative to speak: "I will help you attract firepower in the bottom lane, you go to the top lane and take the tower!"

"Lao Zei, WeiWei and I will go protect Aze. You must be careful if you are alone in the middle lane." Sheshe also started to communicate with his own AD.

Sima the old thief simply replied: "Don't worry."

After the team communication was completed, all five members of the SN team quickly mobilized. Everything was just for their Akali to replenish enough money to purchase equipment before the next wave of fire dragon group!
23 minutes 09 seconds.

A beautiful lane-switching operation forced Doinb, who was arrogantly taking the push back in the top lane, to retreat to the second tower.

Originally, FPX wanted Doinb to take the safety line in the top lane, and then the AD would hang in the middle lane to clear the line, and the jungler and support would spread out vision in the lower river in advance to ensure that the fire dragon was taken without any mistakes and to enhance their own combat power.

Unexpectedly, SN did the opposite and specifically put pressure on their best-developed player Urgot.

But FPX reacted quickly. After seeing SN's jungler and support showing up in the top lane and forcing Doinb to retreat, the four players except the mid laner quickly moved to the bottom lane, and together with the crocodile who was pushing the line forward, they approached SN's second lower tower.

If any other hero was used, SN would definitely not be able to defend against this attack.

But Lang Xing happened to be playing the captain!

"Take a bath in the shells!"

There was no way that the second tower could be given up. Lang Xing did not hesitate to use his ultimate skill right before FPX's soldiers were about to enter the tower.

Due to the upgrade of [Random Fire], [Cannon Barrage] can bomb an additional 6 waves. All melee and ranged soldiers of FPX cannot withstand the damage of Captain's ultimate move.

And the sturdy artillery soldier was also taken away by Wolf with a triple barrel from a safe distance.

Without the help of the soldiers, FPX could only retreat temporarily and look at the tower with regret.

At the same time, Cui Ze also pushed down FPX's upper tower with the help of the jungler and the support. The jungler and the support also returned to the city in advance and rushed to the bottom lane to meet Sima Laozei who had cleared the line in the middle lane, and guarded the strong lower second tower together with Langxing.

"Nice guys! Great cooperation!" After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lang Xing happily called out "Nice" in the voice chat. Cui Ze, who was in charge of the command, had no time to be happy, and immediately asked Sheshe: "Brother She, who on the opposite side hasn't dodged yet?"

Snake quickly gave a definitive answer: "The flashes from their top, mid, and jungle are all bad."

"OK, in teamfights, keep an eye on Urgot or Crocodile, and try not to let them cut into Marco, WeiWei..."

WeiWei immediately responded: "What do you mean, Brother Ze?"

"Try to create a big circle and limit Doinb. The heads of the entire FPX team are on him. If he can't deal damage in the first place, we will definitely win this teamfight."

"OK, no problem!"

“As for Varus…” Cui Ze switched the view to the middle lane. After seeing Varus drawing his bow and shooting an arrow, a cold light flashed in his eyes. “Leave it to me!”

After returning to the city to buy the ghost book, Cui Ze hesitated for a moment and did not add a stopwatch as he had said before. Instead, he planned to stay in the fountain for 10 seconds. After the gold coins increased to 850, he bought the [Explosive Wand] that could provide 40 magic power.

Varus chose the attack speed style, and the second item he chose was [Wisdom's End] which has magic resistance attributes.

Cui Ze was worried that if his output was limited, or if Liu Qingsong's Tam Tun could be used in time, he might not be able to kill Lin Weixiang's Varus.

So, instead of choosing a stopwatch with a higher tolerance for error, it is better to switch to an explosive wand with a higher risk but higher return rate.

I would rather make mistakes than do nothing!

……

Although they made a perfect tower pushing operation, SN was still under great pressure in team battles.

SN's jungler and support groped their way into their own jungle area and carefully spread out their vision. After returning to the city for replenishment, Langxing quickly TPed to the blue buff.

On the FPX side, Doinb saw that SN was ready to take on this wave of fire dragon group, and he ignored the half-eaten soldiers and pressed TP to land outside the dragon pit.

At the lower river, both sides deployed their lineups.

On the blue side, FPX, Crocodile and Spider have already started fighting the little dragon. Urgot, relying on his highest level and the best equipment, stands in the middle of the river and shows off his power.

Lin Weixiang controlled Varus to quickly clear the minion line in the middle lane, and Liu Qingsong protected him on the side. With Tam's ultimate, they could quickly reach the battlefield even if SN directly started a team fight.

Seeing that SN was determined to come over and take on this wave of fire dragon fight, the audience in the live broadcast room who were already waiting to take advantage of it became even more arrogant.

[We won, we won. With a three-piece Urgot, why did you, SN, come to join the team? Can you handle the damage from the mid laner? ]

[Congratulations to FPX! SN is like this! The traffic mid laner doesn’t deserve to win! ]

[The dragon is almost defeated, but you are still hiding in the fountain? You don't even have a ward behind you, and you still want to teleport down to change the situation? ]

[No, I just praised you guys, and you're so stubborn that you come over to join the team? Operations, bro! How can the Captain deal damage when his economy is so low? ]

[Don't worry, believe in Drize, his Akali can create miracles! ]

[Believe in miracles? You obviously gave up on yourself when you saw you couldn't win! ]

Among these pessimistic voices, there are actually many weak-willed SN fans.

After all, since the new season lineup was established, SN has never had a comeback game. Either they won by advancing forward or they were suppressed by their opponents and could not resist.

The last team that made SN taste failure was IG, which returned from the S championship with the same team.

Now, is it finally time to taste defeat again?
"I opened it, I opened it!"

WeiWei's anxious cry came from the voice. He was controlling the Prince of Demacia, advancing into the battlefield with a combo of EQ, and trying to knock Doinb's Urgot away.

Unfortunately, it did not go as he wished. Relying on the speed altar blessing obtained after killing the river crab, Doinb took a well-timed step back and easily avoided the Prince's EQ combo, and used [E·Contempt] to throw him behind him.

Seeing this, GimGoon immediately followed up with a Red Rage W, biting the Prince and continuing to control him. Tian's Spider was also ready to switch back to human form, wanting to cooperate with his own mid-lane to control the Prince to death.

At this critical moment, Sheshe's Minotaur came from behind and knocked FPX's top, mid and jungle players away with a flash of WQ, giving WeiWei's Prince the opportunity to release his ultimate move.

"Demacia!"

After the stun ended, Jarvan IV roared, leaped bravely into the air and smashed to the ground. His ultimate skill [Heaven Collapse and Earth Shattering] immediately trapped the three players in the top, mid and jungle of FPX.

At the same time, Sima Laozei also controlled Kaisa to go forward and output fearlessly, and Langxing also placed the explosive barrel under the feet of the three brothers in the top, mid and jungle of FPX.

"The gunfire roars!"

The AOE of the explosive barrel was full, but unfortunately the Captain's development was poor, and the output provided by the three items + Fist of Purple Rain Forest + Pickaxe was very limited. However, the fragile Spider was also affected by this series of AOE damage, and its health was quickly reduced to one third, and it was in danger.

After taking the damage from the Captain's explosive barrel, seeing that his health was running low, Spider had to fly into the air to temporarily avoid subsequent output and aim at the fire dragon whose health had dropped below 2000.

SN has already used most of their skills. Urgot and Crocodile can completely withstand the subsequent damage. Next, they just need to wait for Varus and Tam to arrive on the battlefield, land on the ground and use Q punishment to get the fire dragon. FPX's strategic goal will be achieved, and they may even be able to win the team battle with ease!

After GimGoon's crocodile landed, he immediately activated his ultimate skill and transformed into an ancient giant crocodile. He rolled forward to escape from the prince's ultimate skill, forcing Sima Laozei and Langxing to fight and retreat at the same time.

Doinb's Urgot turned on his machine gun and attacked crazily, causing the Prince's health to drop rapidly and he was on the verge of being killed.

At the same time, Akali teleported to the ground, and Tam also used his ultimate skill [Abyss Voyage] to bring Varus to the battlefield.

In this team fight, both sides have gone mad and are determined to fight to the death!
Seeing Tian's spider land, Sima Laozei immediately pressed the R key, and Kaisa instantly flew thousands of yards into the dragon pit, intending to execute FPX's jungler first.

Liu Qingsong was quick-witted and pressed the flash W key immediately. Tam actually swallowed his own jungler into his stomach with a [Feast] through the thin wall of the dragon pit, perfectly avoiding Kaisa's output.

Seeing this scene, Tian couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Nice! We won!"

All of Sima Laozei's output went to the little dragon. WeiWei punished the fire dragon before he died, but was executed by Urgot's ultimate in an instant, and the fear effect was inflicted on Snake's Minotaur.

In a flash, SN has reached the most dangerous moment.

If they lose this teamfight, given the characteristics of their lineup, there will be absolutely no chance of a comeback unless FPX gives up!
At this moment, the director suddenly moved the screen upwards and aimed the camera at Akali, who was taking Varus's head after TP landed.

As the player with the highest traffic in this game, Cui Ze's every move has attracted much attention.

No matter whether he performs his best and turns the tide to save the team from danger, or he performs poorly and dies suddenly on the field... the effect is definitely maximized.

At the battle table, Cui Ze's palms couldn't help but sweat.

Because he knew that if there was any mistake in the next operation, it would be difficult to change the situation on the field, and SN would definitely face the crisis of defeat.

In addition, the SN in the original time and space also won four consecutive victories, but suddenly lost to FPX and began to fall into a slump, so that they missed the playoffs.

The gears of fate will definitely change in my hands!
I know that you don’t like to watch my games, but I have no choice but to write more about my games, especially such an important game as the one against FPX. I also spent some time laying the groundwork before, so please don’t mind, it will end in the next chapter~
