Chapter 167 - The Curse of Haidilao
G2's next opponent is SKT.

Obviously, the SKT team was enraged by A-P's trash talk and put all their efforts into teaching G2 a lesson, ending the game with a huge score of 21:3.

After two crushing defeats on the first day, Ah P's expression of distress and confusion immediately became a hot topic on Tieba and was turned into various emoticons.

For example-
Who can stand this?
I want to go back to my country.jpg
Are the Flash Wolves players on the other side playing in human disguises?
After Doublelift, he is the only European and American player who has such a high popularity in CPL.

After SKT defeated G2, they faced the wildcard team Sup.

Needless to say, it was a crushing defeat.

Next, it was CLG vs. QG.

Europe and the United States have always been rivals, and before this game, Ah P started again.

He sent a tearful emoji while pushing the tower, and manually tagged CLG's official Twitter, posting a '0:2'

Obviously, even G2 lost to QG, and AP didn't think CLG, who was even worse than them, could win.

Good brothers from Europe and America, walk together hand in hand, 0:2 together on the first day, this is what A P means.

however.

CLG actually won.

Stixxay's policewoman carried the entire game perfectly, and at one point suppressed Uzi, who was known for his offensive skills, in the lane, making everyone pay attention to his signature hero.

The comments on Rat Channel instantly exploded.

CLG>QG>G2.

NA>EU.
The screen was filled with human head emojis.

And this meme was even hyped up to the top three on Twitter after Flash Wolves defeated Sup in the last game of the day.

Because, the wildcard Sup team also lost 0:2!
G2=Sup.

Seems... there's nothing wrong?
The North American audience mocked wildly, and Europe also cursed.
All the trolls in the world are one family. Many people in Europe criticized the G2 team for traveling back to their country, saying that G2 owed Fnatic a championship, etc.

The first day of MSI was extremely hot.

The global LOL audience is celebrating.

After the first day of group matches, Flash Wolves and SKT both tied for first place in the group with a record of 2-0.

Flash Wolves defeated North American CLG.

SKT beat European G2.

As for the Sup team...

There was no way around it. Given the strength of the two teams, the match against the wildcard Turkish Sup team was a complete giveaway.

The wildcard teams were improving year after year, but in terms of player strength, they were indeed inferior to the teams from the five major regions. Their occasional upsets at the World Championships were also due to ingenious tactics, exploiting the contempt and arrogance of the teams from the five major regions...

As long as your opponent expands, you have a chance to win.

It is understandable that it will expand.

In this situation, the teams from the five major regions are like professional boxers, while the wildcards are like skinny kids. No one would take them seriously right away, right?
However, when the professional boxer was fighting carelessly, if the boxer made a serious mistake, the skinny kid would probably pull out a dagger and scrape a piece of flesh off the boxer.

Only then will the boxer get angry and get serious.

When facing SUP, all the members of Flash Wolves were very inflated and put together a very cool lineup, with Kennen on the top, Poppy in the jungle, Twilight Sparkle in the mid, Tristana in ADC, and Lulu as support... five Yordle heroes.

Although the audience didn't know why five Yodels were gathered, it was obvious that Flash Wolves were inflated.

But that game was still won without any suspense. The opponent was defeated in all three lanes, and Karsa had a clear plan for the opponent.

After the game, Flash Wolves packed up their things and left the stadium through the player-only passage, preparing to find a place to eat.

Imp clutched his stomach and groaned, "I'm starving! Is there anything to eat?"

Perhaps wanting to tease Imp, Snake handed over his half-eaten cookie.

But unexpectedly, Imp's eyes lit up and he bit it directly, hesitatingly saying, "Thank you, you really are a Hao Ren!"

Snake's expression froze. He had somewhat underestimated Imp's ability.

"We're going to play against SKT tomorrow, right?" Karsa said with some anticipation.

“I haven’t seen them for half a year, so I don’t know what their current strength is.

Having been old rivals for a year, the two clubs, Flash Wolves and SKT, are actually very familiar with each other.

"It's hard to say before we fight." Sheshe thought for a moment and said, "I can't really say whether the strength of our CPL region has increased or decreased this year.

Before the World Championship starts every year, there are always viewers who stand up to give their opinions, saying that a certain region is a battle between gods, and that a certain region is a fight between weaklings... Some people think that the operational region with fewer mistakes is strong, and some people think that the team that fights well is strong. Everyone has their reasons.

But in reality, this is just a difference in regional style.

Before the fight, no one dares to claim that he has mastered the strongest playing style in the current version.

As they were talking about this, the Flash Wolves Club bus just arrived at the place where they were having dinner.
A Japanese food store.

The team members got off the bus noisily.

"This Japanese restaurant is quite clean. At least eating sashimi won't give you diarrhea."

"Ah Yuan, what do you want to eat?"

"Me?" Yuan Shen thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Give me some beef noodles."

"…You started?"

Wei Shen had a funny look on his face, and he obviously knew the famous beef noodles joke.

At this moment, Char Siu suddenly picked up his phone, exclaimed in surprise, and then started replying to messages.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Shen asked.

"It was SKT's coach Kkoma, who asked me what delicious food there is in Shanghai.

Yuan Shen was stunned for a moment, then, as if remembering something, he hesitated and asked, "Which store did you recommend?"

"Hmm? It's the one that's very popular recently..." Char Siu gestured.

"Haidilao!"

Haidilao...

Yuan Shen scratched his face. If he remembered correctly, one of his negative status immunity attributes was immunity to Haidilao. Could it be that this was something extraordinary?
It's comparable to beef noodles...

"Forget it, they can't find it, how can they be so stupid!"

Char Siu was almost pissed off. The SKT team wandered around for a long time but couldn't find the restaurant he recommended.

"Forget it, you guys eat. I'll take them to look for it. I can also be considered as a good host."

Yuan Shen blinked and smiled meaningfully.

An hour later, SKT's official Weibo account posted a video of the entire SKT team eating at Haidilao. Guapi Zhongdan smiled and gave a thumbs-up to express his approval, and said a lot of words in Korean.

There are subtitles at the bottom of the video.

The general meaning is "Haidilao is first-rate, the waiters are very attentive, and the atmosphere inside is like being back home. Thank you very much to the Flash Wolves team for the recommendation. It's delicious, and I will come again next time!"

The funniest thing was that the person arm in arm with him was Yuan Shen. The table in front of him was piled with watermelon peels, and it was obvious that he had eaten a lot of free watermelons.

At night, the Flash Wolves official Weibo also released a food video, sharing the players' daily life with fans.

Fans couldn't wait to click on the video. The ones who were most interested in this kind of daily gossip were undoubtedly the young ladies. Looking at the Flash Wolves players eating, they all smiled like aunties.

Several players on Flash Wolves are not even 20 years old yet, and can basically be considered boys.

Therefore, some relatively older female fans call themselves mom fans, and now they comment on the contestants' eating habits like their mothers. Even if they eat in a hurry, they think they are energetic and have personality.

"Hehe, the way the snake eats is so cute!"

"Ah, Yuanshen eats so elegantly."

"Look at my Yuanshen up close. I can do it. I really can do it!"

Female fans were the first to grab the comment section, and the atmosphere easily gave people a feeling of being in a fan club.

Many male fans may feel physically uncomfortable, or feel envious and jealous, but this is nothing to be scorned. Without fan clubs, where would the money come from?
What's more, they are precious female fans.

This video was quickly spread to Guokangliang Bar. The fans' focus here was obviously different from that of the young lady, and the angle was very unique.

"Fuck, Yuanshen is eating Haidilao with SKT???"

"No, why is Imp eating beef noodles?"

"We're playing SKT tomorrow. Are they so unconvinced?"

"Little bitch, are you looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility in advance?"

"I laughed. There really are a lot of people who believe in this kind of metaphysics?
"Just like Joker's poisonous milk, stop being funny, okay, food is food."

Amidst the fans' debate, night fell in Shanghai.

After dinner, Yuan Shen returned to the club, played two simple Rank games, and then prepared to wash up and go to bed.

Time flies, and it is the second day of competition.

The venue was packed with people, and the popularity of the event live broadcast rooms on major live broadcast platforms exceeded 10 million, occupying the first place on the popularity lists of major platforms.

the reason is simple.

Today's schedule is full of highlights.

Flash Wolves has two games today, the first one is against SKT, and the last one is against G2.

As the host, they also have to show some hospitality. The first and last games were basically taken care of by them, which also means that
Flash Wolves spent the longest time in the gym.

"Hello everyone, I'm the commentator, Jiede!"

"Hello everyone, I am commentator Wang Duoduo.

Wang Duoduo is a new commentator who has just joined the CPL family. He stood on the stage in a suit and tie with a smile on his face.

"Today's first game is attracting everyone's attention. The two teams, Flash Wolves and SKT, can be said to represent the strength and glory of the two strongest regions respectively. Not to mention, there is also the connection between last year's championship and runner-up battles. The whole world is paying attention to today's game." Remember to say.

"Yes." Wang Duoduo nodded. "Although this is just a best-of-one match in the group stage, and its significance isn't as profound as the semifinals or the finals, it's completely different. Whether it's to test each other's strengths or to build momentum, this match must be won."

"I believe that both teams also attach great importance to this game. Come on, Flash Wolves!" I remembered to cheer.

Wang Duoduo nodded vigorously, as if deeply touched, and couldn't help but say: "That's right, as the saying goes, if the flying general is in Dragon City, the Hu horse will not be allowed to cross the Yinshan Mountains. If Flash Wolves can't win, who else can beat this SKT?
"..."

I remember being completely bewildered. How come this guy started reciting poetry while chatting?
The audience also burst into laughter, thinking that this commentary style was a bit fresh.

He was stunned for a moment, then remembered what the director reminded him and quickly spoke.

"Ahem, the core of both SKT and G2 is undoubtedly their respective mid laners. I wonder what Yuanshen thinks of the mid laners of these two teams? Let's see what Yuanshen has to say!"

The live broadcast screen changed and a scene of Yuan Shen being interviewed appeared.

"Everyone knows I play top lane, but I'm actually very interested in mid lane as well. I usually watch Faker and Perkz's live streams, hoping to learn some techniques. While watching them, I discovered something."

Yuan Shen shrugged and said, "Watching Faker's live stream is just for fun. If you really want to learn the skills, you should watch Perkz's live stream. In my opinion, he is the true world's number one mid laner."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The barrage of comments instantly flooded the live broadcast room.

"???"

"What the hell, you started it?"

"If I remember correctly, G2 just lost two games in a row yesterday? You can brag about that?"

"Is Yuan Shen trying to influence SKT's mentality with trash talk? This is a good move!"

After Yuanshen finished his pre-match trash talk, the scene changed and the camera turned to Faker.

They were recording the trash talk together, and Guapi, the mid laner, clearly heard Yuan Shen's response. He pressed for a moment, then spoke anxiously, "I think Yuan Shen has a misunderstanding about me. I wasn't messing around during the live stream. I will prove that I'm a better mid laner than Perkz."

He obviously took Yuan Shen's spur-of-the-moment joke seriously.

"Turtle, look at Brother Li's reaction. Doesn't it look like a girl who's afraid of being misunderstood by her loved one and is eager to explain herself?"

'Fuck, when you say that...'

"Feminine LOL? Damn, I was just thinking about it, and it actually... became a thing?"

"This is too outrageous, can you guys even YY this?"

The comments from the silly netizens are still full of joy.

In the past, the CPL region was really bad at trash talking, and after losing a game, they would often use the pre-match trash talk as a black mark.

But things are different now. It’s not about ideological reform, but mainly because…

Good grades.

If you have good grades, everything you say is right.

Even if you pick Teemo, as long as you can win, it's the right thing to do.

Putting aside the imagination of the silly netizens, for Lee Sang-hyuk, Yuanshen’s position in his heart is indeed unique.

Whether it is technology or the honor of being on par with each other, this is the only opponent that Lee Sang-hyeok respects and wants to surpass in the field of e-sports.

He really wanted to beat Yuanshen once, even if it was just in the group stage.

Not to mention this MSI, Faker personally only lacks the MSI championship to achieve a Grand Slam.

That's why he got so excited when Yuan Shen joked about him and Perkz.

There is no me in your eyes...

Eunjeong doesn’t even have me in her eyes…

After the trash talk ended, the director's camera turned to Faker in the player's seat. As luck would have it, Faker just picked up the water bottle, tilted his head back and drank with a thudding sound.

Danmu situation-
Needless to say, the screen is already full of tons of noise, and the bitter wine goes down my throat and causes heartache.

"We have to win this one," Char Siu reiterated, "but this is only the group stage after all, so we can't reveal too much. Let's just use our most common tactics. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter; it'll help us figure out where the team's problems lie. If we keep winning, I'll actually worry about problems."

"Yes!"

The team members responded in unison.
-
Clang!!
Accompanied by the sound of metal colliding, the game entered the Banpick interface.

In the first round of the group stage, the host team, Flash Wolves, were basically on the blue side.

The same goes for this one.

Both sides did extensive pre-match research on each other, watching the other team's playoff videos countless times.

Of course, there is a gap of three versions between the playoffs and MSI, so how the opponent will respond is still a matter of speculation.

On the blue side, Flash Wolves banned Graves, Kindred, and Lulu respectively.

SKT on the red side banned Jayce, Fiora, and Kennen.

"Flash Wolves once again banned the less popular Graves and Kindred, while Lulu effectively blocked SKT's four-protect-one strategy this season."

"Huh? SKT actually banned top lane heroes in all three positions." I remember being a little surprised. "Jayce and Fiora in this version shouldn't be T1-level choices..."

"That's right." Wang Duoduo nodded. "After Thunderbolt's nerf, Jayce fell into the cold bench again. And Fiora was nerfed very hard after last year's Season 5. Her strength has decreased a lot compared to last year... Yuan Shen is indeed very strong, but SKT seems a bit too biased."

"Because, SKT is like this--"

"Too many strong heroes were released, especially the support heroes like Alistar, Zyra, and Bard, all of whom were outside!
In this version, the bottom lane is particularly dependent on support. SKT's bottom lane duo has become a stable carry this season.
Their playstyle this season has been very bottom lane focused.

The core concept of the S6 season is the cooperation between the jungler and the support, with at most a mid-lane to roam together.
However, Wolf's roaming rate ranked second to last among the supports in this MSI.

The last one is Sup team, because they collapsed online and naturally couldn't swim.

Is it that SKT doesn't have jungler-support synergy?
It's impossible. A team that goes against the version can't reach the peak.

There is only one reason why jungler-support collaboration is so frequent but the roaming rate is so low.

That is the position where the jungler and support work together, both in the bottom lane.

The support's primary task is to protect the ADC. If the jungler goes to gank the bottom lane, it is a jungle-support collaboration. If the mid laner also goes to gank the bottom lane, it is a mid-jungle-support collaboration.

This is SKT's team system this season.

This is completely different from the idea of ​​SKT's jungler to focus on the middle position in the past. You know, even in the S5 protection system, the starting point of the early and mid-term rhythm is

Also SKT mid-jungle, I have to say, this is a huge change...

For this reason, Bengi sat on the water dispenser and let Blank, who is more suitable for this new system, start.

There is no way, as long as Bengi is on the court, he will unconsciously move towards the center, just like love.

Since SKT protected the bottom lane, naturally, they also gave the greatest trust to the bottom lane.

A strong hero?
Just release them all. When both sides have strong heroes, SKT bottom lane is confident to gain an advantage and there is no need to waste

ban position.

"You're really...confident." This obvious contemptuous behavior obviously made Sheshe a little angry.

"Take Jella." Yuan Shen said.

Zyra, the Rising of Thorns, is Wolf's legendary hero this season.

Respecting your opponent means respecting yourself.

There is no reason to give this hero to the opponent, so Flash Wolves' blue team locked down Jyra first.

On the SKT side, after a brief discussion, they took down Jhin on the first floor, destroying Flash Wolves' signature bottom lane combination.

Afterwards, the snake girl was captured on the second floor.

"Wow, SKT picked up the snake girl, this must be the mid laner." Remember said.

"Faker is also very proficient in Cassiopeia. After seeing Yuan Shen's performance yesterday, he must have been itching to try it out. I think he's also mastered that reverse R-flash technique." Wang Duoduo was a little embarrassed. "I'll give you a taste of your own medicine. I didn't expect SKT to master my Gusu Murong's unique skills!" "..."

I remember being stunned for a moment, wanting to ask, 'Are you talking about your horse?'

This move did not surprise Flash Wolf.

Since they chose Jyra, SKT naturally doesn't need to rush to lock down the support and can take strong heroes in other positions first.

In the second and third rounds, Flash Wolves locked down Jungle Sejuani and ADC Ezreal.

Pig Girl is in charge of team fights and the front row, needless to say.

As for the reason why EZ was locked in when there was still ice, it was because...

"The opponent really chose Minotaur!"

Seeing the other party's next choice, Char Siu nodded in understanding.

Jyra and Minotaur are currently T1 supports.

Ashe is indeed very functional and can also help initiate team fights. However, ADCs without displacement in this version are very afraid of Minotaur's forced initiation, especially when they know that the opponent will frequently gank the bottom lane, it is undoubtedly inhumane to choose Ashe.

Immediately afterwards, SKT's jungler locked in Berserker Olaf, leaving the last counter position to the top laner Duke.

"Tsk, Cassiopeia + Olaf, such a fierce mid-jungle..."

Karsa clicked his tongue, "Ah Wei, what are you going to use to fight the snake girl?
Wei Shen hesitated for a moment and showed a hero avatar: "Can I play this?"

Ninja mask, scarlet eyes.

That was Faker's legendary hero.

The Lord of Shadows, Jie.

As soon as this avatar appeared, there was a burst of applause at the scene.

"The hourglass cooldown has been lengthened, and Mercury's stats have been nerfed. It's not impossible to play Zed in this version, but... are you confident?" Yuan Shen asked seriously.

"Well, please believe me!" Wei Shen said earnestly.

"Okay, then I'll add some AP damage."

Yuan Shen smiled and also locked down a hero.

"Rivers of blood—"

Crimson Reaper Vladimir.

Another newly reworked hero made his debut, immediately livening up the atmosphere.

Yuanshen always surprises them with new tricks and new heroes!
SKT never expected this choice, and they only managed to lock a hero in the last second of the countdown.

Planck: Ocean Disaster

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

FW Blue Side:
Top laner Yuanshen: Scarlet Reaper - Vladimir

Jungle Karsa: Winter's Wrath - Sejuani

Midlane GODV: Shadow Lord - Zed

Bottom Lane Imp: Explorer-Ezreal
Support SwordArt: Rising Thorns - Jyra
SKT Red Side:
Duke in the top lane: Gangplank, the disaster of the ocean

Jungle Blank: Berserker-Olaf

Faker in the mid lane: Serpent's Embrace - Cassiopeia

Bottom Lane Bang: Jhin

Support Wolf: Minotaur Chieftain-Alistar. "

After each undergoing a certain degree of reorganization, the two kings will meet again in a brand new battle.

Planck: Ocean Disaster

The hero Captain has been continuously weakened since the S5 World Championship. The data strength of the four skills has been lowered, especially the E skill, the basic damage has been cut in half, and the armor penetration effect has been directly weakened from 60% to 40% - this wave of major weakening can be said to be extremely severe.

In addition, the Three Phases has lost its critical strike attribute, and the Captain's equipment positioning has become more and more confusing.

He no longer has the status of a bug hero. In fact, with the emergence of ultimate talents and the rise of many heroes, the Captain can hardly keep his position as a T1 hero.

Fortunately, Yuanshen used a Gangplank in the CPL Spring Regular Season and demonstrated a classic Gangplank play style to the world.

Captain of the Immortal Flow.

Then, pair it with a high-cooling armor-piercing outfit.

Players can configure the talents of professional players with just one click of the mouse, but behind each set of talent runes and equipment ideas lies the optimal solution of many data analysts and professional players.

A reasonable talent and equipment can make a hero soar to the sky, and it is completely OK to go from the sewer to the peak of life!
The best example is the three-phase Lucian in S4.

Yuanshen's wonderful performance of the Immortal Captain amazed many people, and this new Captain's style immediately became popular in various regions and servers around the world.

SKT's strategy is very clear when choosing Gangplank to fight against Vampire.

That is for development.

In terms of hero mechanics, both the Captain and the Vampire are relatively weak heroes in the early stages, and they mainly rely on consumption in the lane. As for single kills, it depends on whether the opponent gives them face.

However--
ignite?
I remember that Wang Duoduo and I rubbed our eyes in tacit understanding, and confirmed again and again that we were not seeing things.

"At the last second before entering the game, Master Yuan changed his summoner skill's TP to Ignite?"

"This..." Wang Duoduo was stuck for a while.
"This reminds me of last year's S5 Noxus game. Yuan Shen also boldly abandoned the must-have TP in the top lane and chose to bring Sprint."

"In order to make up for the defect of lack of a tp in the middle and late stages of the top lane, Imp's ez brought a tp instead. This kind of understanding is really unprecedented..." I remember that my face was full of confusion and doubt, but I didn't dare to say it, for fear of being slapped in the face.

This season, Flash Wolves' fancy BP and tactics have slapped many commentators in the face, and he doesn't want to try it again.

Actually, vampires don't eat TP.

What is the purpose of teleporting in the top lane?
In order to increase the tolerance rate in laning and to minimize the losses after being ganked by the opponent's jungler.

The biggest role of the top laner with tp is undoubtedly the involvement of the single lane in the middle and late stages.

However, this is somewhat inconsistent with the positioning of vampires.

Vampire is a team-fighting hero through and through.

Asking a vampire to solo laning is like asking a boy to fight a bloody battle during a girl's menstrual period...not very appropriate.

The best proof is that after the vampire was reworked, the selection rate of the top laner in the Rank game was much lower than the selection rate of the mid-lane vampire.

Since the vampire doesn't benefit from teleportation, Yuan Shen simply doesn't bring it, and lets Imp bring a tp to make up for the function of clearing the side lane in the later stage.

There is no one on the opposite side who can touch EZ, so there is not much point in him bringing healing, except that he will suffer a slight disadvantage in the online fight.

But in the Flash Wolves team, making concessions for the advantage of the top lane is a normal thing.

After Yuan Shen mentioned it, Imp switched to teleport without thinking. They had done this many times in training matches.

Flash Wolves' top and mid laners both had Ignite, looking extremely aggressive. On the other hand, SKT's top and mid laners had normal TP in the top lane, but had Weakness in the mid lane.

In this version, Mercury cannot cancel Zed's ultimate, but Zed cannot use Mercury to remove his weakness either. This is a kind of disguised balance.

Both sides are laning normally.

Yuan Shen’s starting equipment is Doran’s Shield + one red.

The attributes of Doran's Shield are very compatible with Vampire's ability to stay in the lane. It is very useful against any hero, especially heroes like Captain who use Q skills to consume.

As soon as they met, the captains chatted with each other in a friendly and united manner.

Since the vampire is at range, he can use AQ, which gives him an extra normal attack, so the vampire will make a small profit in the first wave of blood exchange.

But later, when a layer of green light of [Undying Grasp] surged from the captain's body and the two exchanged blood again, this time, it was the vampire who lost.

On the contrary, when the vampire Qs twice, a layer of red rage surges on his body, and the captain immediately keeps distance, not giving the vampire a chance to Q even if he has to kill one less soldier.

One of the details when laning against a vampire is to be careful not to be hit by the vampire's red rage Q.

The second detail is that the white bar under the vampire's health perfectly reveals the cooling time of its blood conversion.

What's the meaning?
Every time the vampire releases Q, he will start to accumulate a white bar. Each Q accumulates just half of the white bar. When the white bar is full, it will turn red and trigger the scarlet sprint.

The accumulation progress of this white bar is exactly the cooling progress of the vampire's Q skill.

As long as the white bar under the vampire's health is still moving, his Q skill is not on cooldown!
Duke was well aware of this characteristic. He took advantage of the gap in the vampire's Q skill several times, went forward to use Q to consume, and earned a lot of blood in exchange.

However, this is just a suppression of the situation.

In fact, in terms of last hit, it was the Captain who was diligent in exchanging blood, who fell behind by four hits without realizing it.
"Duke is very detailed..." Yuan Shen sighed.

He is worthy of being the champion top laner of S6 and S8.

Historically, after SKT won the championship this year, many people said that Duke just got a championship skin and was a complete system player.

Not worthy of attention, its strength can only be considered average.

But in fact, this is just a side effect of the marginalization of the top lane in the S6 version.

This version is really unfriendly to the top laner. During the regular season, Char Siu even persuaded Yuan Shen to try to switch lanes. With his talent, he can quickly become successful in any lane.

Yuan Shen thought about this issue, but ultimately refused.

His teammates are not weak. It can even be said that all members of this Flash Wolves team are top players in the CPL. It is not yet time for him to switch lanes to make up for it.

However, top talent in the CPL top lane position is still too scarce.

Duke was very strong in S5 and S6, which was his peak period.

Not to mention, the S6's ability to fully integrate into the 4+1 system.

In the era of the top three LCK top laners last year, although Duke did not enter the World Championship, he was the real league single kill king in the LCK league, especially Summday, who was beaten badly every time he met Duke.

Otherwise, IG wouldn't have spent a fortune to buy Duke in S7. We're not fools, who would spend a lot of money to buy a loser?
Unfortunately, no one expected that Duke's condition began to decline since S7. Although not bad, it could only be considered average. He no longer had the glory of the LCK's solo kill king. By S8, he had even become IG's koi mascot.

The golden age of professional players is too short, so cherish it while you can.

For Yuan Shen personally, being able to compete with Duke in his prime is also a blessing.

In the mid lane, before level 3, Jie is not capable of fighting against ranged mages.

However, the characteristics of the hero Zed make up for this shortcoming perfectly. Because he is a hero without a mana bar, Zed can use his Q skill to last hit without pressure. Coupled with the effect of his passive [Shadow Ninja! Soul Destroying Zed], Zed can be said to be one of the most comfortable heroes in League of Legends for last hitting.

Wei Shen has solid basic skills.

Before level 3, his health was not reduced too much, but after level 3, he started to fight back.

WEQ——The extremely fast skill release makes the skill effects appear to be in reverse order.

The skill hits accurately, and Thunder is triggered!
It is a bit difficult for the snake girl to use her skills to avoid being robbed.

Because the biggest flaw of the hero Snake Girl is her short legs.

The hero's mechanism is somewhat similar to Ryze, both are spell machine guns!
The talent that Faker brought in this game was also [Storm Rider's Surge] to make up for the lack of movement speed.

But without triggering the Wind Rider, it is obviously still difficult to avoid the consumption of Zed. Faker stayed away from Zed's shadow and silently clicked on the blood bottle.

The blood loss in this wave was not that much, because the snake girl had enough armor runes.

Moreover, Zed must never use his W skill randomly when laning in the enemy lane. This is his only displacement and life-saving skill in the early stage. When Wei Shen uses his W skill, he is often near his own tower, or he will only use it when his vision can confirm that there is no Olaf nearby.

The mid laners of both teams would basically go up and fight for blood whenever they had the chance, and they played extremely aggressively.

If nothing unexpected happens, the first blood should break out in the middle lane.

The director frequently shifted the camera to the middle.

however……

"First Blood!"

When the first blood sound effect sounded, everyone was still immersed in another wave of blood exchange operations in the middle lane and was stunned.

The first blood was taken by Bang's Jumanji.

The bottom lane was the first to get a kill.

The director was a little embarrassed and quickly cut off the replay.

This was a premeditated gank.

Both junglers started the game in the bottom half, with both duo lanes going to help out.

However, when Wolf was at level 1, he did not go to help the jungler to open the blue buff, but instead came to the bottom lane triangle bush to place a ward in advance.

The two sides were laning normally. After a blood exchange for level 2, Snake went to the triangle grass to place a ward to prevent the opponent's jungler from ganking from behind.

However, Sheshe didn't know that the eye he made was completely exposed to the opponent, so that the SKT bottom lane duo began to control the line in a premeditated manner. A minute later, they accurately seized the moment when the vision disappeared, and Blank carried out a gank from behind.

Wolf decisively flashed WQ to keep the opponent.

The one who stayed was Jella!
At present, when Minotaur's WQ combo has not been optimized, this is a skill that only highly skilled support players can use with confidence.

Jhin first threw a grenade, then followed up with [Fatal Brilliance], and the copper ban + slowdown took effect one after another.

After being hit by a whole set of attacks, Jella finally had the chance to flash away and create some distance, turning around to restrain the opponent's pursuit.

If this is a 2v2 situation, that's all.

Unfortunately, Olaf, who was behind, used a precise Q skill and hit Jyra directly, causing her to slow down again. Afterwards, Blank did not go for Jyra's head, who was doomed to die, but instead started sprinting to kill Ezreal.

Jhin killed Jhin and Ezreal was forced to use his flash.

Preemptive control of level 1 vision, advance control of the line when the vision disappears, and the decision to attack when the vision disappears...

This wave contains a lot of things.

but……

"Flash Wolves' bottom lane had bad luck this time. The vision of the triangle bush just disappeared, and Imp and Sister Con had no warning, otherwise they should have been able to react and dodge Minotaur's flash, W, Q.

I remember saying this, attributing the loss to bad luck.

He was unable to see through the conspiracy behind this wave of layout, and even the Flash Wolves on the field could not see through it. After all, those who are involved are often confused. Only when reviewing the game afterward would the Flash Wolves know the calculations behind this wave of ganks.

The bottom lane suffered a huge loss, the support Jella died once and lost both skills.

Ezreal used his flash, but after his support died, he didn't dare to farm the soldiers under the tower with low health, otherwise he would lose a wave of soldiers.

Imp thought about it and decided to go back to the city to extract some more, then TP back online.

Once the development item Extraction is released, he can only go for the development flow, and he can forget about fighting in the bottom lane... But choosing Extraction also has its advantages, that is, when the Extraction is fully stacked, it can make up for EZ's economic loss, so that his development will not lag behind the normal level.

The replay just ended, and the scene changed, and the fight in the middle lane started again.

This was a sudden attack launched by Wei Shen after he saw Olaf appear in the bottom lane.

WEQW, start normal attacks directly in front of the opponent and then use ignite.

Faker reacted quickly and weakened Zed the moment he got close to him. Then he cast a Q on the spot, gained acceleration, and immediately flashed to create distance.

He wasn't sure whether the pig girl was nearby, so he was naturally a little timid.

Wei Shen took advantage of Faker's psychological disadvantage.

Flash chase.

This flash just happened to dodge the W skill thrown by the snake girl, and she was not affected by the earthbind effect.

There's no way... Although the distance of Snake Lady's W skill can be adjusted, there is always a minimum distance, and it cannot be placed close to one's feet.

This means that as long as you rush into the face of the snake girl, you can destroy one of her W skills.

He flashed a knife, then another, and after two strikes, the remaining blood volume was ignited enough to burn to death.

"Solo kill, I got it!"

Wei Shen was very excited.

However, just when he was attacking, Faker also made a desperate counterattack, keeping the distance and EAEA at the same time.

Snake's E, if it hits a poisoned target, has a healing effect!
The Q that Faker threw before flashing was so crucial.

Wei Shen didn't take into account the health increase from the treatment, so the ignition didn't kill him!
The soldiers focused their fire on him, and coupled with the damage from the snake girl, Wei Shen was in danger. He gritted his teeth and threw out the last predictive shuriken, killing the snake girl.

And he himself was poisoned to death by the last twin fangs.

The two sides exchanged mid laners.

"Wow, this fight was too extreme. It seemed like the mid laners on both sides had lost their temper?" I remember sighing.

Before he finished speaking, another killing prompt sounded.
When the director switched the camera to the top lane, the vampire was retreating from the enemy's defense tower. After taking damage from the defense tower, only 10% of his health was left.

The captain's body had already fallen in the upper tower of his own home.

"This……"

I remember that Wang Duoduo and I were stunned.

It's not just because of the violent atmosphere in the early stages of this game, but also because the reversal between the beginning and the end is so huge.

The hero Vampire is really weak in the early stage. Many people cannot suppress Vampire and think that this hero is very strong in the mixed lane, purely because they are not familiar with the mechanism of Vampire.

Once you figure it out and target it, you will find that this hero is really very weak. In the previous few waves of blood exchanges, Yuanshen's vampire lost, not to mention others.

This is also the reason why Vampire is still difficult to enter the competition after the rework.

It is too weak in the early stage, relies too much on equipment, and slows down the pace.

So, they never expected that in the blink of an eye, the vampire who had exchanged blood and suffered losses before actually killed the captain?
And still...
