Chapter 188 I Got It! It's Tian Ji's Horse Racing!

Kkoma's instinct was right.

Just as the Bo1 between VG and SKT decided the winner, almost all the teams participating in MSI began to review the game.

If for no other reason, just to find a way to get a point from SKT!
Don't underestimate this point, because there are only six teams participating in this MSI, among which the Turkish team is basically an inexperienced team. But even if there is a team at the bottom, everyone still needs to eliminate a team to advance to the semi-finals.

As for SKT...to be honest, no one had much hope at the beginning.

Especially yesterday, after seeing SKT get first blood in seven minutes, but fully maximize their operations in just fifteen minutes and directly crush G2 in a snowball manner, everyone felt that hope was slim.

As a result, today's VG got the upper hand from SKT!
Suddenly, the pressure was placed on other teams that wanted to enter the semi-finals.

We finally made it to MSI, why not at least play a Bo5 before leaving?
The point is... VG didn't just win!
And we won by means of operations!
Therefore, all teams, under great pressure, immediately began to analyze the game.

For example, the Flash Wolves will face VG in the evening.

At this moment in the Flash Wolves lounge, everyone was staring at the replay on the big screen, concentrating intently, yet looking confused.

Because everyone's reactions were very similar.

At first it was... can this win?
Then...

Is this a win?

Finally...how did they win?

Especially the head coach Niu Maike. To be honest, even though he is the head coach of the FW team and also led the FW team to win the championship of the LMS region, he still feels that it is really incredible that VG can win this game.

"Such a chaotic rhythm... It feels like VG's jungler is just messing around."

“But he won again.”

"Could this be the so-called random punches that kill the master?"

"But SKT does have some problems. Both the jungler Kindred and the mid laner Tsar played too little role in the early game."

"The problem is that in the first wave, Blank made a huge mistake."

"We were at a disadvantage in the early game and wanted to use the support's strength to invade the jungle, but VG cut off our retreat first. How smart!"

"But... VG's idea is quite good. If they want to beat SKT, they can't beat them with normal operations."

"How about we give it a try next time we meet SKT?"

After saying this, Steak subconsciously looked at Karsa not far away.

As the undisputed rhythm core of Flash Wolves and known as the "Wolf King", Karsa was stunned when he heard this, and then asked back.

"try what?"

“Just... don’t play SKT with a normal rhythm! Try something new like VG, understand?” Niu Niu gestured, trying to make Karsa understand what he said.

"Oh, no buff? Going down from the middle lane saves time?" Karsa raised his eyebrows. "Do you think Faker will let the troops enter the tower again next time?"

"Forehead……"

This sentence stumped Steak.

But it's also true that many routines are only effective the first time. When used the second time, the other party will definitely be on guard.

It will be extremely difficult to replicate the success of this game.

So after thinking for a moment, Steak decided to focus his attention elsewhere and said.

"Forget it, we'll talk about SKT later."

"But for VG, the mid lane should try not to give the opponent's mid laner room to perform."

"When playing against VG, I think we should not focus on the late game, but the early game rhythm."

"Although the opponent's jungler had a strong early game rhythm, our jungler was not bad either."

But when it comes to this, Steak suddenly feels a little regretful.

"It would be nice if I could get Ryze."

"But unfortunately, the opponent will not give this hero to us."

Hearing this, Karsa said "oh" twice and dealt with it.

In fact, Karsa basically didn't listen to what Steak said next.

Because when watching the game between VG and SKT, he always felt that something was wrong.

It seems like there is something that is the key to VG's victory over SKT.

If I have to describe it, it would probably be the intuition of being a jungler, right?
But the problem was that he couldn't understand it right away.

Helplessly, he could only put aside this doubt temporarily and focus his attention on the next opponent VG.

Of course, it’s not just the Flash Wolves who are studying VG.

At the same time, in the VG lounge, everyone was also studying Flash Wolves.

However, after watching Flash Wolves' performance in this MSI, especially the two games yesterday, everyone, like the Flash Wolves, fell into silence.

Even Lin Dong was shocked!
This is actually Flash Wolf?

Hongmi, who was standing aside, held his breath for a long time before suddenly speaking.

"Flash Wolves are really talented to make it to MSI!"

Hongmi's words actually did not mean to belittle Flash Wolves.

But it’s because... Flash Wolves’ style of play is a bit too strange.

To put it simply, everyone is a nobody, everyone plays their own game, the lineup is fancy, and there is even no coordination at all.

Mid laner Zed and jungler Nidalee, is this a mid-jungle combination that anyone can think of?

They even ignored the version!
Even at MSI, they picked the top laner Ekko who had just had a big cut by the designers!
The key point is... he actually won a game!

Of course, Flash Wolves has already selected this lineup, and the victory is definitely not based on operations.

The FW team does have some operations, but not much. Almost all the rhythm is supported by Karsa. If Karsa is not there, the family will fall apart.

At that moment, Lin Dong finally understood why Karsa was the Wolf King.

The mid laner Maple can at least keep up with the rhythm, but the other three teammates are complete huskies.

So when he saw this, Lin Dong spoke immediately without even thinking about it.

"When playing against Flash Wolves, just go after the opposing jungler."

"Are you using the jungler as a breakthrough point?" Hongmi asked subconsciously, "Do you want to do the same as the last game against SKT? Disrupt the opponent's mid and jungle rhythm?"

"No, the opponent's jungler has a good rhythm, and he has strong map control ability." Lin Dong shook his head, thinking, why do you think Karsa is called Radar Brother by fans? Then he said, "I can just invade the opponent's jungle area directly, just to annoy him and make him unable to exert his strength. The rhythm of Flash Wolves is basically all on him. As long as he doesn't have time to gank, his teammates will naturally collapse. Besides... if I remember correctly, Maple is very good at assassin mid-lane, right? Why don't we let him and Leng Shao try it?"

Hearing this, Hongmi immediately looked at Leng Shao standing beside him.

As expected, at this time, Young Master Leng has already started to get ready.

Suddenly, Hongmi got a headache.

To be honest, he actually didn't want to see this situation.

After all, we've already come to MSI, so at least everyone can make some progress, right?
Unexpectedly, apart from SKT, the other opponents were worse than expected...

What’s more, he’s bad at rhythm, but not bad at operation!

Just as Lin Dong said, starting from the jungle position is indeed the best way.

However, Hongmi did not forget to remind.

"The opposing midlane also plays in the early game, and they must also be thinking about playing 2v2 in the early game." "If you enter the opponent's jungle, be careful of getting caught! If you get caught, our midlane support will definitely be slower, after all, it is the opponent's jungle."

Hearing this, Lin Dong suddenly laughed and replied.

"Don't worry, the other side can't catch me."

I don’t know why, but when I heard Lin Dong’s confident tone, Hongmi suddenly felt a little panicked.

It’s not because he doesn’t trust Lin Dong, but because Lin Dong’s way of playing sometimes really makes people’s blood pressure soar.

And this kind of tone of voice usually means that a big job is about to happen.

So Hongmi asked quickly.

"Wait? What are you going to play?"

"It's nothing, it's just an invasion, and the opponent will definitely defend me." Lin Dong shrugged and said calmly, "So I just picked a jungle hero who can be invisible in the early stage and went to find him."

When these words were spoken, Redmi was dumbfounded.

"Wait? Are you serious? You want to play widow?"

It’s not surprising that Hongmi was so surprised, but because if Lin Dong’s Widowmaker was really selected, it would be as amazing as Flash Wolves selecting top lane Ekko.

In previous versions, Widowmaker was still very powerful, and even a popular choice in the arena, especially Clearlove's Widowmaker, who demonstrated her strong dominance in the jungle with a ghostly posture.

But here's the problem.

Generally speaking, the more powerful a hero is, the shorter his life will be.

Especially for jungle heroes like Widowmaker, who can only be seen by true eyes and scans, and cannot be seen by false eyes at all.

Because her skill mechanism is too special, Widowmaker's snowball ability is very strong, even comparable to heroes like Nidalee.

As expected, after the designers made several cuts, Widowmaker basically disappeared from the arena. Even Zweila would only choose her occasionally to play against weak teams. In the semi-finals, no one had banned this hero. You can imagine how strong Widowmaker is in this version.

Why choose a widow in this situation?
Go to the opposite jungle to find the opposing jungler?

So what if I find it?
Can you beat him?
However, Lin Dong had actually anticipated the strength of the Widow.

So in this game, he didn't think about going to the jungle and defeating Brother Radar.

So he shrugged and said.

"Sure. I just want to disgust him and delay his growth and rhythm. I'm not really going to kill him."

"No, there are so many strong junglers, but you choose to play this useless one..." Hongmi almost cursed, "Other junglers can't get through, and you can't annoy the opponent, right?"

But at this moment, the Marquis next to him suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly!
"Ah! I understand!"

"What do you know?" Hongmi said unhappily.

"Tian Ji's horse racing!" Lord Zhongwentong came online and explained, "Lin Dong has to choose the inferior horse this time to hold back the superior horse of the opposing jungler. As long as he holds back, it will depend on who has the stronger laning ability among the top, middle and bottom lanes, so..."

After hearing this, Hongmi finally understood.

Isn’t this the same self-destruct style that Lin Dong had played before?
The only difference is that the previous self-explosion was to buy time for teammates to develop.

But this time, it was to buy time for teammates in the laning phase.

So in just a moment, Hongmi immediately planned the BP route for the next game in his mind, and then spoke.

"The excavator should be banned. The passive ability can hear the footsteps of Widowmaker, and Widowmaker's invisibility will be useless."

"We are on the red side when playing against FW. BP is not in our favor. The opponent may try to steal the hero."

"There are enough heroes fighting in the mid lane, so it doesn't matter, but there are only two heroes that are strong in the early stage of the bottom lane... It just so happens that Flash Wolves' bottom lane likes to play Lucian, so we have to ban it this time."

"And if you want to snowball, you can't let the opponent have too much protection, and Tam must be banned."

"This way, Ryze will be released."

"Master Leng, are you sure you can beat Ryze?"

Hearing this, Leng Shao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "One-on-one?"

"Correct."

"Fight as you like." Leng Shao scratched his head, "But if the opponent cooperates with Ryze to train me, then I really can't do anything."

"understood."

Soon, the match against Flash Wolves will begin.

In the commentary booth, the familiar figure of the colonel appeared again.

But this time, he didn't waste any time, but went straight to the point and entered the BP phase.

"Welcome everyone back to the game. Let's take a look at the Bp situation of both teams."

"FW team banned Elise, Kindred, and Poppy."

"As for VG, they chose to ban Lucian, Tam and Jarvan."

"Huh? VG's ban seems a bit rare."

"It's not surprising to ban Lucian. FW's bottom lane really likes to pick Lucian. In the three group stage games, they picked Lucian in two games, and in the remaining game, they also picked Skateboard Shoes."

"For the FW team, they really like to establish an advantage in the bottom lane."

"So, this Tam, I feel like it's a bit unnecessary to ban it."

"And in this game, VG also released the hero Ryze. It just so happens that FW is on the blue side in this game. It depends on whether they choose to pick it or not."

At this time, in the Flash Wolf voice.

Looking at the BP in front of him, Steak was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed a painful expression!

It’s not that BP was targeted.

But it’s because... the BP in this round is a little too easy to choose!

You can definitely take Leblanc first to replace the ban.

It just so happens that Maple is also good at playing Leblanc.

And Ryze is still there, so the mid-jungle combination of Ryze + Lee Sin can completely restrain the opponent's rhythm.

The opponent banned Lucian, but Skateboard Shoes was still outside, so it was easy to take Skateboard Shoes.

But the problem is...even if the blue team has the right to choose, they can only choose one!

Wouldn’t it be great if you could choose them all quickly?
However, although it was painful, Steak finally made a decision after a brief hesitation.

"Let's take Lee Sin first. Don't worry about Ryze. The opponent will definitely not pick him. Although the bottom lane has the best laning advantage, the jungle is the most important. The combination of Ryze and Lee Sin is too powerful in catching people."

"And... there's another advantage to this. We can see if the opponent's mid laner will choose Leblanc, and then decide whether to choose Ryze as the mid laner."

As soon as Niu Niu finished speaking, Lee Sin was locked down by FW. On the other hand, VG immediately captured the bottom lane combination of Skateboard Shoes and Minotaur.

Suddenly, Steak was stunned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Isn't it right?"

"I remember that VG was not a team centered around the bottom lane, but rather a team that played the mid-jungle rhythm."

"Why did they lock on to the bottom lane first?"

"Shouldn't they choose Enchantress first?"

　Sorry, I was tortured by the hackers and fainted. It's a little late.
