I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 62 - Release the Iron Man, Fire forges Iron

The LPL live broadcast room was filled with grief.

Some even lamented that "there must not be any enemies within two thousand yards of MaRin, otherwise you will die."

MaRin's crocodile dominated the battlefield with a perfect record of 10-0-6 and won the MVP.

On the third day of the group stage, the super BOSS, Crocodile, emerged from the infinite loop in Narno's hands.

The value of the top lane is king version is still increasing.

Just like Flash Wolves crushed KOO, SKT also crushed EDG.

Although it was not as exaggerated as a 3-0 sweep, EDG did not take any towers, and except for the little dragon they took when they switched lanes at the beginning of the game, they did not take it again afterwards.

We only got six kills.

It was like a tit-for-tat, KOO took out all the anger on Flash Wolves, and SKT took it out on EDG.

After the game was over, both the commentators and the audience in China were feeling very depressed.

This SKT's dominance on the field seems to be stronger than Flash Wolves?
If BO1 is so terrifying, how terrible will BO5 be?

As we all know, LMS is best at using unexpected tactics to win BO1.

The LCK teams will only really show their strength in the knockout stage.

"SKT banned Malphite and Gangplank on the blue side. Are they bad at playing or are they just hiding their moves..."

Zhou Luxi didn't understand, but was shocked.

The blue team banned Captain Iron Man, which was equivalent to cutting off one of their own arms.

In this situation, they were able to win so easily, and their opponent was EDG, which was rated as the third team in the world by Riot.

This is very scary.

"I'd rather believe they're hiding something..."

Yuan Shen complained.

It's a bit outrageous that a team like SKT doesn't know how to play Malphite and Gangplank.

It is impossible not to practice heroes in this version.

unless……

Can’t practice it?

In the fourth game, H2K easily defeated BKT.

Like PNG, BKT, also a wildcard team, has become an inexperienced team, with points being scored by the other three teams in Group C in turn.

In the fifth game, OG defeated TSM.

The theory that EU is greater than NA is still gaining momentum.

By the sixth show, viewers in major live broadcast rooms around the world had become interested.

Although it was already early morning in the country, there were still many people watching the game.

It’s simple. LGD, which is rated as the world’s number one team by Riot, is about to appear.

Their opponent is LCK's third seed, KT.

Before the game, everyone thought that LGD had an absolute advantage, at least 70:30.

Acorn faces Ssumday, both sides are veteran top laners, so it should be a evenly matched situation.

Although Taobao's power in the mid and jungle is not very stable, Wei Shen is the most talented domestic mid laner in LPL. The combination of the two is a 60:40 situation.

High hopes were placed on LGD's bottom lane.

The combination of Imp and Hirano Aya is even known as the world's best bottom lane duo.

However, before the BP was over, LGD gave everyone a big job.

"Iron Man was released??"

Yuan Shen widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

No one has dared to release the hero Iron Man since the start of the World Championship!

"They cracked Iron Man's tactical system? If that's true, the red side's BP restrictions will have the least impact on us."

This was Zhou Luxi’s first reaction.

They played many training games with LGD, but Iron Man was never released.

So where did LGD learn the method to restrain Malphite?

League of Legends is a game where luck is a factor. Red side, blue side, critical hit chance, blind spots, robbing the Baron, etc...

But a truly strong team will minimize the factor of luck.

Flash Wolves also thought of a way to crack Iron Man.

However, they have only used it in training matches, and the effect is average, and it has not been tested in the main competition.

I originally thought that I would wait until I secured first place in the group before deciding whether to use it or not, but I didn't expect LGD to use it first.

At the same time, LGD also chose their own heroes.

Vengeful Flame Soul Brand.

Fire man!

After banning Diana, the strong support that is the best match for Malphite, LGD released Malphite and chose Brand.

Fire refines iron, and the world's number one alchemist appears.

However, this style of play did not scare the KT players, and they still grabbed Malphite.

LGD ended up picking a very interesting lineup.

Lulu on top, Nunu in the jungle, Diana in the mid lane, and Skes and Brand in the bottom lane.

"I'm not playing around randomly. There's a reason why this hero, Brand, is so special."

Char Siu was very keenly aware of LGD's thoughts.

They have also tried to find ways to deal with version bugs like Iron Man, but the results were not good.

The hero Iron Man is not strong in laning phase.

On the contrary, as a melee hero, Iron Man can only take beatings before level 3.

After level 3, you must rely on supports like Leona and Thresh to force the opening in order to have the capital to fight.

With two holy shields, Malphite can push the lane at a terrifyingly fast speed when combined with the support. Combined with the passive experience sharing of the W skill, Malphite and the support can have experience and levels that are not inferior to those of a single lane.

Moreover, Iron Man is a hero without mana bar, so pushing the line has no cost at all. Even if his health is depleted, he can recover through spell lifesteal and relic shield. The conventional bottom lane duo cannot limit him at all.

He pushes the lane quickly, has lane control, and takes his support to invade the jungle to clear the jungle and restrict the opponent's jungler. This means that a normally developed Iron Man will become a big BOSS in the mid-game.

After reaching level 6, controlling the dragon is invincible. No combination can resist the dragon's advance, which can further expand the team's advantage.

The team that chooses Iron Man can get at least 5,000 economic advantages.

Even in the middle and late stages, the Q skill with up to nine times the damage can still be devastating. It is a complete numerical + mechanical monster.

This is the BUG of the hero Iron Man.

"LGD's Brand is really creative!"

Yuan Shen also became interested.

Flash Wolves are actually not afraid of being given to the opposing Captain.

Especially the top lane Captain, Yuan Shen is confident that he can handle many heroes.

The fully developed Captain is invincible, he can prevent the Captain from fully developing in his entire life.

As long as they can find a way to get rid of Malphite, they can turn the red team, which is at a huge disadvantage in this version, into an advantageous team!
"If Brand helps clear the lane, it won't be so easy for Iron Man to roam."

As a professional player, I can guess the opponent's strategic thinking for the game just by looking at the lineup.

Your Iron Man is good at pushing lanes, but your short range and dependence on supports are also your biggest problems.

So after banning Leona, who had the best synergy with Malphite, LGD came up with the combination of Kalista and Brand.

This pair has long arms, control, burst, Poke, and strong pushing capabilities.

Coupled with Imp's laning strength, it can be said that he is completely defeated by Iron Man in the line.

At the same time, if you are good at controlling dragons and pushing towers in the early game, I will choose a hero who is good at countering jungle and controlling dragons.

Taobao Quan's Nunu's Q plus punishment, combined with Skateboard Shoes and Spear, can even instantly clear 30% of the dragon's health. How can you control the dragon?
In order to limit the output of Malphite in team battles, the top laner even added a Lulu.

Turn into a sheep + use ultimate skill, how can you, Iron Man, kill people instantly?

The theory is perfect, but it may not be effective in practice.

Yuan Shen supported his head with his hands and stared at the screen. In his mind, he seemed to see Wei Shen laughing with his hands on his hips.

"A Yuan, we will win!"
