Chapter 217 SKT's Feint to the East and Attack in the West

In SKT’s voice.

Looking at the prince who used his ultimate skill to reverse the situation by two levels, the expression on Blank's face suddenly twisted.

Although he only lost the red buff in this wave, which was not a big deal for the overall development, it actually exchanged for the Prince's ultimate move, which seemed to be a gain. But in fact, it was not the case, because for SKT, it didn't matter whether the Prince's development was good or bad, what mattered was that the Prince must die!
Only when the jungler dies can they create a time difference, and with a time difference, SKT can set the pace.

Once the prince survives, the one wasting time will be SKT!
Not only did we not gain any advantage, we even lost money.

Because in this game, SKT is the attacking side!
The further it goes, the more room Kindred will have to play!

Once SKT's lineup drags on to the late game, it will be impossible to win in a team fight, and they can only find ways to win alone!
So Blank was very anxious at this time.

You must find a way to help the two solo players in your team gain an advantage!

Because only in this way can we ensure that the single belt has advantages.

The question is...how can I help now?
It is unrealistic to help the top lane. Although the Troll has a certain ability to keep people, it is all about slowing down rather than controlling. Once he can't come up, he may lack damage. Moreover, he is already level 6 now. Kindred has his ultimate move, so he can delay for a while. If he waits until the opponent's jungler comes, I'm afraid something will happen.

Help the mid lane? LeBron is too flexible.

Moreover, after suffering a wave of losses at the second level, it has become much more stable and does not give any chances at all.

Just when Blank was having a headache, Faker's voice came from the voice chat.

"Do you remember the game where the opponent's mid laner picked Yasuo?"

"Their situation in that game was very similar to ours now."

After hearing what Faker said, Blank immediately understood.

Yup!

It does!

Since it is difficult to open up the situation in normal position, what if I switch positions?

Let Faker's Ekko move to the top lane and the Troll move to the middle lane.

Ekko has a higher burst speed and has the E skill. Unlike the Troll, he doesn't have to flash up to deal damage. Even in a 2v2 between top and jungle, there is a chance of winning.

Only Duke's trolls... bear with the pressure.

Anyway, whether you are in the top lane or the bottom lane, the situation is the same.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Duke fell silent.

Afterwards, he quietly took away the cloth shoes he had bought and replaced them with two small magic resistance cloaks.

at the same time.

VG also quickly discovered SKT's movements.

Especially when Ekko appeared in the top lane, Lin Dong's brows immediately frowned.

Having used this tactic before, he naturally knew what SKT meant.

"Swap the mid and top lanes...are they going to give up the mid lane, surround the top lane, and train Kindred?"

"This is trouble."

"We can't beat the opponent in 2v2. After all, the burst damage of the two heroes in the mid and jungle is too high."

Hearing Lin Dong's muttering, Leng Shao was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

"What's the problem? I can go to the top lane anytime when I'm laning against the troll. It's just three against two at most."

"It's not that simple." Lin Dong shook his head and said, "You have to watch the troops coming to support, but you don't need to watch the troops to gank the jungle, so it's too late."

"If it doesn't work, I'll switch to the middle lane." Saint Spear said, "I'm in the middle lane, so my chances of getting the mark are actually better."

"But Kindred's roaming ability and burst speed are not as high as Leblanc's. Annie has an ultimate, and Tam also has an ultimate. They came very quickly, and we had no time to act."

Lin Dong had a headache at this time.

Simply put, SKT's lane change is forcing themselves to choose one of the two.

To protect Qian Jue is to protect Yao Ji.

At most, you can only protect the development of one person, while the other person will most likely suffer from developmental abnormalities.

For VG, normally, Lin Dong would definitely be the one protecting the middle lane.

Because of his strong operational ability, higher ceiling, and flexibility, it is difficult for the opponent to deal with him.

But this time, the situation was different.

The opponent is too tanky and has many life-saving skills, so there is not much room for Ahri to play.

So after a brief hesitation, Lin Dong gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Change!"

"Brother Saint, come to the middle lane, but don't think about laning with the opponent."

"The middle lane is very short, and it's too difficult to kill the troll by force."

"Come with me to the bottom lane to trade heads!"

"Remember this later, don't use your ultimate to save me. You just need to find a way to take off the mark!"

To be honest, Lin Dong really didn't want to use this method unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because you can't earn much this way, you can only say that you are using your own kills to exchange for Kindred's development.

I just hope that in the later stages, Kindred will be able to play a role.

However, Saint Spear had good luck in this round.

SKT had just changed lanes when the mark appeared in the lower jungle area.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Dong decisively chose to attack the bottom lane with four people surrounding two.

Of course, SKT's defense also came quickly. The two sides exchanged kills and ended up in a tie, but Lin Dong still successfully helped Saint Spear Brother get two marks.

But the good times didn't last long. Blank seemed to have noticed Lin Dong's thoughts and began to consciously counter-squat.

The situation became tense again.

As twenty minutes passed, when Lin Dong finally helped Qian Jue get the fifth level mark with great difficulty, his expression suddenly changed.

Because when the big dragon refreshed, he suddenly found that SKT's rhythm had changed.

At the same time, in the commentary booth.

The colonel also realized that something was wrong and immediately spoke up to remind them.

"Huh? SKT... suddenly started to attack around the upper jungle?"

"What's the rhythm? Want to do something in the upper jungle?"

"Duke went to the bottom lane to continue solo pushing, while Annie and Tam were clearing the line in the middle lane. Ekko was in the top lane. After clearing the line, SKT completely controlled the vision near the Baron pit."

"Are they planning to move the dragon at this time?"

“Isn’t this a bit forced?”

After hearing the colonel's words, MLXG shook his head.

"It shouldn't be about the Baron. SKT should be trying to control the vision of the upper jungle area and then ambush people!"

"VG doesn't know if SKT will attack Baron, but one of them has to go over there to provide vision, right?"

"Just like the last game, the dilemma VG is facing now is the same dilemma SKT faced in the last game."

At the same time, Lin Dong's eyelids twitched wildly as he watched SKT's rhythm suddenly change.

Because he is so familiar with this rhythm!

SKT's most classic operation rhythm!
Accumulate advantages through laning and ganking, wait until a specific time, suddenly exert force, suddenly speed up the pace, and catch the opponent off guard. It is like tug-of-war. First stabilize the situation, remain calm, and then crush the opponent with ease.

The difference is that when playing against other teams, SKT only needs about ten minutes to accumulate enough advantages.

But against VG, SKT took 20 minutes!

The problem is...as MLXG analyzed.

This time, VG has to do something to gain vision for the dragon pit!
Even if SKT has only a one percent chance of taking Baron, VG doesn't dare to take the risk!
So Lin Dong immediately called everyone on the voice chat to go to the dragon pit to gain vision.

Blank, who discovered VG's movements through his leading vision, finally smiled.

This time, his goal was finally achieved!
Compared with the previous game, SKT's lineup in this game has another advantage.

That is the advantage of vision!
After losing the last game, Kkoma gave a summary of SKT back on stage.

Why failed?
The key is the lineup. Although the nurse has a ward, as a soft support, it is too risky to move forward to provide vision.

If you can't see clearly, it will be easy for the opponent to find an opportunity to ambush you.

For example, the times when I was hit by Scarecrow and Malzahar were exactly the same.

So in this game, Kkoma decided to choose Tam as support.

Tam himself has a thick physique and is not afraid of being attacked, not to mention that he has an excavator to help him explore the way.

The passivity of the excavator played a crucial role at this critical moment.

So in this game, the roles of both sides were completely reversed.

SKT is the attacker, and VG is the defender!
Of course, generally speaking, when both sides have a balanced economy,

The opponent will not deliberately go to a place on the map where there is no vision. Even if there is, they will definitely let Ahri use the W skill to scout the position first, or let Jarvan use the E skill to scout the vision.

Except for one location.

Because of this position, all VG members had to come.

That’s right! Big Dragon!
So this time, Blank's tactics were simple.

Although Ekko had Teleport, he was not allowed to go solo, but instead went directly to the vicinity of the dragon pit to force a team fight and provide vision.

As long as you have enough vision and pull repeatedly, the opponent will definitely give you a chance!
Both Kkoma and Blank firmly believe in this.

And this time, Blank was right.

Seeing SKT forcing a team fight at the Baron, Lin Dong, who originally wanted to let Holy Spear develop for a while longer, was forced to rush over to join the team fight.

Because in this game, VG's lineup only had me in the front row. If I didn't go, no one except Ahri would dare to move forward.

SKT quickly seized the opportunity.

Ekko flashed into the field using his E skill, and used his W skill to control Kindred, trying to kill Kindred by force, but as soon as he landed on the ground, he was knocked away by Lin Dong's EQ double combo. Combined with the damage from other VG players, Ekko was almost killed by one combo. Fortunately, Wolf was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and flashed back using his W skill to swallow the knocked-away Ekko. After Faker came out, he used his ultimate without saying a word, wanting to use the damage of his ultimate to create three rings and kill Kindred in seconds, but he didn't expect that Kindred had anticipated it and activated his ultimate in advance to block the damage.

So in this team fight, both sides exchanged junglers and fought one for one, which was barely a draw.

However, facing this situation, Blank's smile became even wider.

Because from the very beginning, he didn't expect this team fight to end VG.

On the contrary, the most important thing in this team fight is to force out Kindred's ultimate move so as to prepare for the next team fight.

Thinking of this, Blank took a deep breath and immediately spoke in the voice chat.

"Grow for another forty seconds and deal with the troops."

"After forty seconds, return to the city immediately, and then continue to gain vision for the dragon!"

"Once the vision is arranged, everyone's ultimate skills should be refreshed."

"The strategy for this teamfight is the same as before. Let's deal with the opponent's Kindred first."

"As long as Kindred is dealt with, the others won't be a big problem."

"Qian Jue's ultimate CD is too long, so it may not be ready by then!"

"But our ultimate has been refreshed! We can use it directly."

"The duo in the bottom lane go down, and I'll go to the bottom lane too. I'll deliberately reveal my vision and pretend to go gank to see if I can trick one of the opponents into coming over. Then we'll go straight back to attack the Baron!"

"Don't be stingy with your ultimate moves when the time comes!"

"Annie has Infinity Edge now. We can definitely win this team fight!"

After saying that, Blank immediately walked towards the bottom lane.

And his movements were quickly captured by VG.

Xiao Duan immediately spoke up to remind him.

"The opposing jungler is in the bottom lane, be careful."

"I guess they want to protect the bottom lane duo and push a tower. Someone should go and defend it."

At this time, Leng Shao, who was closest to the bottom lane, rushed over immediately.

However, looking at the soldiers in the bottom lane, Lin Dong felt something was wrong.

"No, don't go over there... It's broken, it's already online!"

"This is a trap!"

"The opponent's target is the dragon!"

As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, the sound of the excavator's ultimate move rang out again.

Seeing Ahri appear in the bottom lane, the three SKT players immediately took action.

The excavator used his ultimate skill to move to the dragon pit.

Not only that, Tam used his ultimate to sneak from the bottom lane to the middle lane with Annie, and then rushed towards the dragon pit.

It is obvious that this time SKT is making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!
The purpose was to trick one VG player into going to the bottom lane to defend the line, making it easier for them to kill the Baron!

Looking at this scene, Saint Spear finally became anxious.

Although he didn't have a big move, he still wanted to use the W skill to move forward, explore the field of vision, and try to gain some operating opportunities for his teammates.

But what can he do...this time, he doesn’t have any ultimate move.

In the corner, Blank, who seemed to be rushing towards the Baron but actually did not hit the Baron at all, finally used his passive to hear a voice.

Looking at the ripples in his vision, Blank's eyes suddenly lit up!
"This should be... Kindred!"

"The opponent's speed is not as fast as ours, and the jungler and support haven't come yet, so he comes here first to set up a ward!"

"This location is indeed hidden enough, but don't forget that the excavator can hear footsteps!"

"Qian Jue is here! Kill Qian Jue first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Blank rushed out, passed through the wall through the E skill tunnel, and came to the front of the ripple.

Just as Blank expected.

Just as he passed through the tunnel, Kindred appeared in the sight of the SKT team.

Caught off guard, Kindred was directly pushed up by the excavator.

Seeing Blank's excavator directly start a team fight, the other SKT members immediately followed.

Especially Bang's Annie, who played a role again.

As soon as the ultimate was activated, the movement speed of all SKT members increased dramatically, especially Ekko. Using the bonus of movement speed and the two-stage displacement of the E skill, he was able to immobilize Kindred almost effortlessly.

Soon, Qianjue's health bar disappeared.

Looking at this scene, Lin Dong felt like the sky was falling.

At that moment, he suddenly understood what MLXG felt later.

The big thigh that I spent half my life to fatten up suddenly died before the team battle!
Now Kindred is dead and Leblanc is still on the way. SKT has taken this opportunity to attack the Baron. How should this team fight be responded to?
If you accept it and you lose the battle and the Baron is taken by the opponent, you may fall behind by 3000 economy in that team fight, and that doesn't even include the subsequent benefits brought by the Baron buff.

So theoretically, it is better not to join the group.

Just like EDG.

But the problem is...others don’t know, but Lin Dong knows.

Using EDG's approach against SKT simply won't work!
If you want to win, you must fight!
At this time, everyone in the VG voice chat began to become hesitant and were waiting for Lin Dong to make a decision.

Xiao Duan had already begun to have the idea of ​​retreating, and opened his mouth to speak.

"Lin Dong, in this dragon fight, how about we let go..."

At this moment, Lin Dong’s mind suddenly flashed with the scene of SKT miraculously coming back to defeat EDG despite being at a 10,000 economic disadvantage.

The better a team is at operations, the greater the advantage they can gain after taking the Baron.

If they don't take this team fight, and SKT takes down the Baron, there will only be one possible outcome for VG!

That means losing the game!
So the only way to have a chance is to fight by force!
At that moment, Lin Dong gritted his teeth and shouted.

"beat!"

"I'm here to grab the big dragon!"
