LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 524
Both sides determined the final lineup.
SKT [Blue Side]
Top [Ekko], Jungle [Poppy], Mid [Ryze], AD [Policewoman], Support [Zyra]
ROX [Red Side]
Top [Rumble], Jungle [Troll], Mid [Malzahar], AD [Ashe], Support [Miss Gun]
"SKT's lineup sounds abstract. The bottom lane is Miss Gun, but they chose to use a Zyra as support. I feel that they have a problem understanding Miss Gun. How can they play at level 6 in the bottom lane?" Liu Qingsong analyzed.
"SKT is like this. They won't try their best at the beginning. They still want to save their ultimate for us." Lu Yun said.
Although countless viewers are criticizing SKT's arrogance, they actually chose Miss Gun + Zyra to fight Ashe + Miss Gun. You know, even ANR, who has Miss Gun's skin, doesn't dare to choose like this.
But in fact, for SKT, there is no difference between the semi-finals and the runner-up.
The reason why they were so stubborn was that they still wanted to save their ultimate for ANR.
It would be fine to mock LPL with the three words "hiding the plane ticket", but it would be ridiculous to mock SKT with these three words.
Although SKT's approach is understandable, it would not be fun if a player like Xiaohuasheng, who is "a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers", got into the game.
"Poppy will have a hard time in this game. The troll will definitely chase him in the jungle. It depends on whether SKT is willing to swap with him in the early stage." Xiang Guo said.
"Your analysis is the same as mine!" Lu Yun nodded.
SKT chose to play the jungle in a different position at the beginning, and directly chose to change lanes.
The policewoman and Zyra were moved to the top lane to avoid the counter of the female gun against Zyra in the early stage.
However, the price paid for this approach was to lose the first two dragons in a row.
After the hero Troll reached level 4, it took only 4 minutes and 25 seconds to easily take the first dragon.
SKT wanted to reproduce the fast tower-pushing flow of Miss Fortune by switching lanes, but unfortunately, with Miss Fortune's AD damage, SKT's efficiency in pushing towers was much slower than ROX's.
The chain reaction caused by this was the level of the top laner.
Since ROX pushed down the defensive tower earlier, their top laner Rambo took the line earlier.
After Rambo took a whole wave of soldiers, Ekko finally arrived.
At 8 minutes and 10 seconds, Miss Fortune and Ashe had already pushed down SKT's top lane defensive tower, while Miss Fortune and Zyra did not push down the bottom lane defensive tower.
Miss Fortune, who took the lead in pushing down the defensive tower, relied on the high movement speed brought by her passive [Long Stride] to go directly to the middle lane, and cooperated with the ultimate of Malzahar in the middle lane, and the two killed Faker's Ryze!
"It's interesting. His Malzahar cooperated with Miss Fortune's ultimate. There is something to say!"
Lu Yun was shocked by the scene in front of him.
To be honest, if he had played Ryze in this wave, he would have died.
Because before Miss Fortune disappeared, ROX's jungler Troll had already been exposed to SKT's vision.
In other words, this was ROX's open card, and they wanted to let SKT know that my Troll was exposed.
For Faker, since I have seen your Troll, what reason do I have to retreat?
I can't just run back when Miss Fortune disappears on the line?
What's the point of playing then?
The importance of line control and vision complement each other. If I retreat back when I see Miss Fortune disappear, then my vision will always be locked by you, and how can my Ryze develop?
Apart from the operation, Faker's Ryze has no room for operation in this wave.
Miss Fortune uses the movement speed brought by Long Stride to rush to Ryze's face.
If Ryze doesn't use Flash, Miss Fortune will use E to slow down Ryze's movement speed and create distance for Malzahar's ultimate move.
If you Ryze use flash directly, I will come back in the next wave.
In a word, no matter who is playing this Ryze, there is only one word for this situation.
Die!
The most important thing is that ROX did not fall into SKT's trap and let the jungler catch Faker, but let the support catch him.
As a jungler, Xiaohuasheng chased Bengji's Poppy in the jungle.
When a pillar was stuck, he chased Poppy and ate it. If Poppy dared to fight back, he directly used his ultimate and finally forced Poppy to use her ultimate.
"This troll, just fuck it!"
Xiangguo, who is also a jungler, saw Xiaohuasheng's troll chasing Bengji's Poppy and couldn't help but get himself involved.
They are all the same type of junglers, hot-blooded and reckless junglers.
One and a half minutes later, Miss Fortune and Malzahar used the same trick again. Malzahar, who took the blue buff, turned his ultimate and killed him again.Ryze.
The two mid and support players killed Ryze, while the troll kept chasing Poppy, not giving Bengji any chance to set up defensive wards for Faker.
Relying on this rhythm, SKT had to fight ROX for the Ancient Dragon in just 20 minutes.
How could SKT win without the three-piece Ryze?
In the first game, ROX successfully defeated SKT with the continuous rhythm of Miss Fortune + Malza.
The little peanut on the stage was smiling.
The spirited smile always made Lu Yun excited.
Whether it was an opponent or a teammate, being able to play with such a spirited player was the best thing in life.
ROX used Miss Fortune to get a ban position, and SKT chose the red side.
The BP in the second game was very exciting.
SKT, who lost a small game, had to ban Miss Fortune right away. The reason they didn't dare to grab Miss Fortune was because of Smeb.
If Smeb also develops a top lane Kled, it will be a complete mess.
It is no exaggeration to say that Kled has completely changed the ecological chain of this World Championship.
This hero is different from Juggernaut. There is no hero that can 100% break this system.
Even Lu Yun, who uses that hero to target Kled, can only achieve a 60% win rate.
Many new heroes are like this, and they are at their peak when they debut, just like the later Shen, Xia, Kai'Sa, and Quesanti.
It's just that many teams are unwilling to develop new heroes. The coaches don't have a complete set of tactical systems, and the players don't have excellent hero talents.
SKT on the red side wasted a ban slot for Miss Fortune, and had to choose between Nidalee and Syndra. In the end, they decided to give it to Kuro's Syndra.
Everyone in the world knows that Kuro is the shortcoming of the ROX team.
But this time, Kuro relied on the strength of the hero Syndra itself to finally defeat the inner demon and defeat Faker's Viktor head-on.
"Syndra is a very buggy hero. I hope I can choose this hero." Lu Yun said with some regret.
To be honest, he was prepared for not being able to get Syndra.
Kuro, who has never killed Faker alone, can also kill Faker with this hero. You can imagine the strength of this hero.
"It's all SKT's fault, damn." Xiang Guo said for Lu Yun.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can win." Lu Yun said.
"I think our system can definitely make them release Syndra, don't worry, captain." Xiang Guo said.
"Good words for you."
In the end, ROX successfully defeated SKT with a score of 3-1.
Such a historical trajectory is inevitable, because ROX was just one step away from defeating SKT.
In this era, no one provided a stable template to defeat SKT, so ROX was just one step away.
