Chapter 213 So why not choose Tam?
At this time Blank finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Fizz, who was originally just trying to exploit his flaw to trick Ahri into using her W skill, was frightened by the Scarecrow who was hiding in the bushes.
It was still the familiar set of perfect control connection, and LeBlanc used all of her skills directly on Fizz.
Even though Fizz had a passive skill that reduced damage, and he also had the Abyss Scepter and a small magic resistance cloak that he was going to make into mercury shoes, it was of no avail.
Because this time, Leng Shao's Ahri used the combo with the highest burst!
Start with the Q skill, use the R skill to copy the Q skill and trigger the mark damage of the Q skill at the same time, and then use the E skill to trigger the mark damage of the R skill, and also trigger the decree of the talent Thunder Lord.
The two marks erupted almost at the same time, and with the addition that Leblanc also made the Abyss Scepter and magic penetration shoes, Fizz's health bar dropped by more than half almost instantly.
Looking at the Fizz whose health bar was almost gone, Blank on the side still wanted to rescue him.
But every failure makes one wiser, and this time Leng Shao learned his lesson.
From the moment he started the combo, he kept hiding against the wall below, using the soldiers as cover to prevent the spider's cocoon from hitting him easily.
This time, even Blank was out of reach.
He could only watch as LeBlanc kept moving forward and caught up with Fizz, and then the second stage of her E skill took effect.
As the imprisonment took effect, Fizz's body immediately stiffened in place. With the release of LeBlanc's W skill and the damage from Scarecrow, Fizz's health bar finally disappeared!
Looking at this scene, whether it was Faker, Blank, or even the other SKT players who were paying attention to the battle in the bottom lane, they were all numb.
Although no one wanted to admit it, Faker was indeed the breakthrough point in this game.
And it’s not that Faker doesn’t want to operate, it’s that the opponent simply doesn’t give him the chance to operate!
Of course, looking at Faker's current miserable condition, Blank suddenly felt a little guilty.
Because strictly speaking, although it was Faker who died, the blame was actually his.
No matter if Faker was caught when he moved forward before, or he exposed his flaws when he moved forward this time, the bottom line is that he did not play the rhythm well.
Thinking of this, Blank was about to open his mouth and take the blame.
As a result, before he opened his mouth, he heard Faker, who was always calm and composed and never forgot to comfort and command his teammates even when the situation was unfavorable, fall into a rare long silence, and he didn't say a word.
For a moment, Blank opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Then at this moment, he suddenly saw Faker silently selling the level 1 starting item, the Corruption Potion, and then combined the small magic resistance that was originally intended to be combined into Mercury's Treads into Mercury's Bands.
“…”Blank.
It was obvious that he was really disgusted this time.
The key point is that the scarecrow on the opposite side didn’t stare at anyone else, he just stared at him!
It was originally possible to operate, but now there is no chance of operation at all.
So Blank can really understand why Faker is making Mercury's Bands.
But the problem is... Mercury's Band is worth 1350 gold coins, and in addition to an active control-releasing effect, it can only provide a little extra magic resistance. For an AP mid-lane assassin, this equipment is obviously not cost-effective and it really slows down the pace. You spend so much money but don't get any extra damage bonus.
What's even worse is that SKT's lineup in this game really needs Faker's damage.
Because Annie is not a hero who can attack the front row very quickly, she can only use her W skill to splash the opponent's back row while attacking the opponent's front row. But in this game, the opponent's support is Braum. Once he activates his E skill and stands forward, Annie's W skill is basically swallowed up. Moreover, in order to push the line and help teammates to create a business rhythm in the early stage, Annie's first piece of equipment was not Infinity Edge, but Essence Reaver. Later, she added a Mercury's Band, which greatly enhanced her line endurance and survivability, but sacrificed the damage attribute.
Therefore, the current SKT lineup has a very serious problem.
Let’s team up?
The lineup itself is not a team battle lineup, and now both Cs are Mercury, the damage is simply not enough.
With a line?
The trolls push towers quickly, but they don't dare to get close to the defensive towers, and the mid and jungle 2v2 are no match for the opponent at all.
The key point is... this scarecrow opposite is really a cancer!
To be honest, Blank had played against VG several times during the group stage, and he thought he had a good understanding of the opposing jungler, so he was mentally prepared.
But he never expected that he was still too small.
The layout is small!
He thought that the opposing jungler might disgust him, but he didn't expect it to be so disgusting!
From the moment the scarecrow was chosen at the beginning of the game, it was destined that this game would be different from ordinary games.
Especially the opposite Scarecrow, as a jungler, actually took out ancient coins, which was something he never expected!
"So what the hell is this ancient coin?"
"A jungler making salary equipment? Is this possible?"
"The problem is that the salary equipment seems to have a penalty... Oh, no! The penalty for the salary equipment is the penalty for last-hitting, not the penalty for clearing the jungle!"
"Only after last-hitting will the gold jump be paused for a while, but there will be no penalty for farming the jungle."
"These two things really don't conflict!"
"But the problem is that this salary equipment needs to be online for a long time to earn money!"
"Is he planning to live online?"
This time, Blank guessed right, but not completely.
In order to counter-camp, Lin Dong will indeed appear on the line for a long time.
As long as Leng Shao's Ahri is leading the line, Lin Dong will definitely counter-camp beside her.
But if there is an opportunity, you still have to clear the jungle.
Because this version of the salary equipment can be upgraded directly by spending money.
Therefore, for Lin Dong, after making the salary equipment, he would only lose a little income from the salary equipment when going to the jungle. Overall, it would not only have no impact, but would speed up the production of core equipment.
Of course, normally speaking, Scarecrow’s core equipment should be the Golden Body.
Because after Scarecrow uses his ultimate move, he has a very obvious flaw.
That means it is very easy to be killed in seconds.
Therefore, it is necessary to use the golden body to avoid key skills and damage after jumping the ultimate move.
But in this game, this method didn't work.
Because there is an Annie on the opposite side, I can't catch up with the opponent after I use my ultimate, and I can easily be left behind. The opponent will definitely not think of killing me first, but will try to create distance and wait for my ultimate to end before making a surprise attack.
So in this game, Lin Dong Scarecrow’s core equipment is this Ascension Amulet.
It just so happens that this piece of equipment is cheap and can provide armor, which can perfectly make up for the lack of armor attributes without the golden body, but the price is to sacrifice a certain amount of magic power.
But in this game, Lin Dong didn't work on his magic power from the beginning.
If you only do pure damage against the opponent's mid-jungle lineup, aren't you just asking for trouble?
So from the very beginning, Lin Dong took the tank route, with a jungle knife enchanted by the Slag Giant, and green armor and mercury boots.
It is also because of this that in these waves of mid-jungle battles, even if I stood in front of SKT's mid and jungle, they were too lazy to attack me, and instead went to kill LeBlanc first.
Fortunately, Leng Shao has developed well. As long as he can use all his skills, he basically doesn’t have to worry about not getting enough damage.
At this time, in the game.
With the death of Fizz, Spider could only flee. The bottom lane tower was quickly taken by VG, and the same was true for the top lane tower. The advantage that SKT had gained in the early stage by utilizing the characteristics of the heroes such as Annie and Troll was gone.
Watching the upper and lower lane towers being pushed down, Lin Dong took a look at his own economy and then spoke.
"Prepare for Baron to provide vision. My ultimate is almost ready. Find a way to fight back."
Hearing this, Xiao Duan frowned slightly and suddenly said.
"How about we wait a little longer? If we force this wave, we might not win. Although our ultimate is ready, we have already used all our summoner skills in the last wave. How about we wait a little longer?"
Hearing Xiao Duan's words, Lin Dong shook his head and said.
"Need not."
"Because we don't need to win this team fight."
"As long as I can exchange heads with the opponent, that's fine."
"But there is a prerequisite."
"We must start the teamfight decisively. We cannot drag it out. We absolutely cannot wait for SKT to set up vision."
When these words were spoken, everyone in VG was stunned.
Don't want to win a team fight?
What kind of game understanding is this? At the same time, Hongmi in the audience heard this and was confused at first, then his heart was shocked and he understood it instantly.
"Wait? I see! I see! This method is indeed correct!"
This time, Gao Jun at the side also showed the same confused expression as Xiao Duan and asked.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is... if our lineup is the same as EDG's, forcing a teamfight at the Baron but not initiating one, SKT can just go solo, wait for the Baron to be acquired, and then teleport over to fight." Hongmi explained, "So we definitely can't just go after the Baron. Instead, we have to use the Baron to lure the SKT players who are providing vision over here, and then fight."
"This exchange of kills is a win for us."
"Because Lin Dong is waiting for money and equipment to be ready."
"At the same time, even if we lose kills in this teamfight, we can still find a way to replace SKT's existing summoner skills."
"In this way, in the next teamfight...if we force a teamfight at Baron, SKT won't be able to hold on."
"This method is similar to the jungler first catching the opponent's summoner skills, and then waiting for the second gank opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow."
This time, Redmi got it right.
This was indeed what Lin Dong planned.
This style of play is the one with the highest chance of winning.
Of course, the only bad thing is that it is hard for VG fans and the audience watching the game.
The previous second, everyone was still immersed in the joy of Faker being killed again.
Especially when they saw Faker with a stern face and directly took out a Mercury Band, everyone almost burst out laughing.
"Fuck, Faker is making a Mercury Band?"
"Nonsense, Malzahar is here in the teamfight, so I have to do it. If I'm alone and the nurse isn't around, I can't give him the Crucible, and I'll definitely be disgusted by the Scarecrow, so I have to do it."
"To be honest, the scarecrow played by Winter God is really disgusting. It's disgusting to the extreme."
"SKT was still trying to dodge the skill, but was directly numbed by this straw man."
As a result, the next second, a team fight broke out instantly at the dragon pit.
As expected, because of the forced team fight, SKT had Lulu's ultimate skill.
VG didn't play very well in this team fight, and even lost a kill, resulting in a three-for-two exchange.
Everyone who had thought the game was secure just now immediately became nervous again.
In the live broadcast room, many viewers launched barrage comments.
"No, don't force a fight!"
"Yeah, SKT has Annie's ultimate. Without flash, it's impossible for them to catch up."
"Alas, this teamfight was indeed a bit forced. Fortunately, SKT's current lineup lacks damage, so this teamfight did not explode. But the problem is that Annie's Infinity Edge is about to be released. If you play like this again, be careful of being overturned."
Only a very few people looked at VG's failed team battle, then looked at the Ascension Amulet on Scarecrow, and finally revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Wait? SKT has Annie's ultimate, so they can quickly create distance and avoid Scarecrow's ultimate."
"And the effect of the Ascension Amulet is..."
"Could this be..."
The next second, the familiar position, the familiar dragon pit, the familiar battle for vision, and the familiar Scarecrow jumping again.
At this time, SKT was already overwhelmed by the previous victory and thought they could repeat the same trick this time, but they forgot one crucial thing.
The Ascension Amulet is an auxiliary equipment, so the price is very cheap, only 2200 gold!
So after the last team battle, Lin Dong used the advantages of assists and kills, combined with the economy of the jungle area, and in just less than 6 minutes, he successfully made the Ascension Amulet!
The moment Lin Dong used his ultimate move, he also activated the Ascension Amulet!
As a yellow light flashed, the VG players behind him suddenly became more active, and their movement speed increased dramatically!
Especially Saint Spear, he had already prepared to use flash and ultimate to start a team fight, but suddenly found that his movement speed soared!
Almost instantly, he caught the spider that was just about to move forward to gain vision.
No need to flash at all!
With the release of the ultimate move, Hell's Grasp, a team battle is about to break out.
At this time, Bang wanted to use the same trick again and immediately activated his ultimate move, wanting to use the movement speed bonus of the ultimate move to increase the distance between him and the scarecrow.
But this time, he was surprised to find that... it didn't work!
Because the movement speed of the scarecrow on the opposite side is even faster than that of himself when he uses his ultimate skill!
Looking at the scarecrow who suddenly turned into the car god of Akina Mountain and the familiar yellow light, Blank finally understood.
"Amulet of Ascension!"
"He made the ancient coins not for the sake of making money! He made them to gain the group acceleration effect!"
"I told him that he's a jungler, why would he make this equipment?"
"Because Braum is not suitable for this equipment!"
"Oh no, there's no way I can escape this time! As a jungler, I can't be a Mercury Band, right?"
However, at this moment he was sucked tightly by Malzahar, leaving him no room for resistance. He could only watch himself being killed first.
On the other side, the tanky Scarecrow entered the field with his ultimate move, retaining all the SKT players and attracting firepower. At the same time, he started a team fight with himself and provided a springboard for Braum's W skill behind him.
As Braum used his W skill and flashed out with his ultimate, SKT's seemingly solid lineup was instantly broken up. Although the other SKT players tried their best to hold on, it was of no avail.
With the successive deaths of Annie and Fizz, VG finally won the team battle.
As the dragon's howl sounded, this time, Blank finally despaired.
Just because you lose the big dragon doesn't mean you will lose.
It’s because SKT’s lineup in this game no longer has room to perform.
Facing the Baron buff, neither Troll nor Fizz could lead the line of troops out, and except for Annie, the wave-clearing abilities of the others were very average.
This means that the opponent can use the big dragon buff to easily control the rhythm and take at least two high grounds.
Once the high ground is broken, SKT will have no chance to expand their vision. Once the vision cannot be expanded, Scarecrow and Malzahar will have unlimited room to play.
Therefore, from the moment when VG took down the Baron, SKT's hope of a comeback was already very slim.
Soon, with VG's skilled high ground operations, SKT's defense gradually became unable to cope.
At the moment when SKT's main crystal exploded, the audience was in an uproar again.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. This Ascension Amulet has made SKT so sick."
"I was wondering why Dong Shen, a jungler, would make salary equipment! So it's for this speed-up effect?"
"I can't even run faster than you can."
"Heizi speak!"
"Winter God: Question it louder!"
"It's over. I feel like SKT will be dreaming about this scarecrow when they go back tonight."
"Faker went back to sleep and opened the quilt, and found a scarecrow jumping and shouting 'fear~'."
"Turtle, what kind of game understanding does Dong Shen have? It feels like he is several versions ahead of others."
at the same time.
In the SKT lounge.
Seeing SKT lose again, Kkoma regretted it very much.
Especially after seeing the role of Malzahar in several crucial team battles, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe!
"If I had known it would be like this! I shouldn't have chosen a wet nurse!"
"Why should I choose the nurse? Why not Tam?"
"There's obviously no Bantam on the other side!"
