Chapter 70 Takeoff and Dragon Riding on the Face (5K)

ten minutes later.

In the WE lounge.

At this time, everyone from WE had returned to the stage.

The difference is that compared to before going on the court, the expressions on all the players' faces have become extremely heavy.

In fact, at the beginning, everyone thought that they might lose the first game of BO3.

But no one expected that they would lose so badly!
There is almost no ability to fight back!
The key is……

The strength of the opposing lineup, except for the mid and jungle, is actually not very high!

Especially the Rat and Bard combination in the bottom lane.

Looking at this bottom lane combination at the beginning, HooN even felt that the bottom lane would definitely be stable in this round. As long as the other lanes maintained normal development, this round would be much easier to win.

Who knew it would turn out like this!

Condi, in particular, sat dejectedly on the sofa, muttering to himself.

"If I had known the opponent was going to play this way, I shouldn't have gone to counter jungle at level 1."

"I feel like I just need to counter-camp the bottom lane, gank normally, and maybe I can win the game."

"If we let Factory Manager come, he definitely won't invade, but will instead camp in the bottom lane..."

"Alas, I was too greedy in the last round."

Zero on the side shook his head and said.

"In the last game, we didn't lose in the laning phase, but in the mechanics. The opposing jungler knew the combination of Rat and Bard too well."

"The combination of Rat's invisibility and Bard's portal made the opponent's bottom lane appear and disappear like a ghost. The key is that at level 1, the jungler was at a disadvantage, and our bottom lane was basically finished. If we want to win against them, we must take the initiative in the jungle."

"And their strength is not just in the two waves of rhythm in the early stage."

"The key is Bard's roaming in the mid-game. It's too fast. We can't catch up at all..."

"And the last team battle..."

At this point, a hint of bitterness appeared on Zero's face.

"The opponent's Vi used her R to flash and actually knocked me back into Bard's ultimate!"

"Honestly, who would have thought that Wei's R could be used like this?"

"I didn't even think about people flashing R when playing Vi! What's the point of changing the R angle at the beginning of the game?"

"If I had raised my shield and returned to help, maybe the last game could have been saved."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lounge was suffocatingly depressing.

Seeing this, head coach HooN took a deep breath and began to encourage everyone.

"It's no use now. Even if we need to analyze someone's problem, now is not the time."

"And if we have to take the blame... I, as the head coach, should take the biggest blame."

"I should have warned you to be careful when they chose this lineup... Of course, I didn't expect the opponent to actually dare to play like this!"

"The key now is that we have to seize the opportunity in the second round. We must not be caught off guard by the opponent like in this round!"

"Does anyone have any suggestions?"

There was another moment of dead silence in the lounge.

I don’t know how long it took.

957 finally spoke.

"I think the jungler needs to be more stable in the next game, do more ganks and counter-camps, cooperate more with teammates, and try to avoid going deep into the enemy jungle alone, especially don't go to the enemy jungle. The enemy jungler is very smart and, most importantly, very courageous. It is difficult for us to guess his next move."

"Although we don't fight invasion, we still have to choose a stronger laning combination and try to speed up the pace in the early stage."

"Not only that, if the opponent's top laner doesn't change, I will just pick a mixed-up top laner. That way, you don't have to worry about me and can focus on the bottom lane rhythm. I won't have the same problem as in the last game, where I was constantly being scolded in the top lane."

After hearing what 957 said, everyone else nodded secretly.

This is actually the reason why there have been many tanks in the top lane and the teams that choose tank top laners have topped the list in terms of win rate for several consecutive versions.

As long as everyone is just messing around in the top lane, even if the jungler comes, he won’t be able to kill him, and the profit will be very low if he does.

In this way, the jungler can play around the lower area with confidence.

Of course... to play like this, there is only one hard requirement, and that is a strong ADC.

So everyone subconsciously looked at the brother-in-law not far away.

In comparison, my brother-in-law's mentality is very stable.

Although he was disgusted by the opponent's combination in the bottom lane in the previous game, the reason why he felt uncomfortable was only because he did not dare to suppress the opponent when he should have, and he could not use all his strength, but at least he did not receive a military training.

In comparison, whether it is 957's Lulu in the top lane or Xiye's Corki in the middle lane, they are both worse off than him.

After a moment, the brother-in-law suddenly spoke.

"The Rat hero's mechanics are quite powerful... I think we can't let him play against the opponent. Besides, in the next round, when we switch sides, if he's on the red side, there seems to be more room for Rat to play. I want to try it, too..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard what the brother-in-law said.

Because the hero Rat's laning ability in this version is not very strong. In comparison, it can even be said to be quite weak in the early stage.

In comparison, whether it is Skateboard Shoes or Miss Fortune, they are much stronger than the hero Rat in the early laning phase.

However, the brother-in-law later explained.

"Rat's strength is not in the laning phase, but in his ability to find opportunities. Have you forgotten how much pressure our bottom lane was under when the opponent's Rat was invisible in the last game? Of course, we can't bet that Condi will have an absolute advantage in this game, so we definitely can't choose Bard as the support like the opponent."

At this moment, Zero beside him also spoke up.

"If you are good at finding opportunities... you can cooperate with Braum. Rat can go invisible and stick to him, then Braum can use his W skill to activate his passive. With the attack speed bonus provided by Rat's Q skill, it is indeed easy to find opportunities. Braum's E skill is very effective against Rat. If you take down Braum first, you can use the rush skill instead of the ban skill."

Seeing that everyone had finally regained some morale, HooN breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he clapped his hands and said.

"Okay, everyone, take a break and prepare for the second game."

At the same time, on the other side, the VG players were not idle either.

Although they won the previous game, given Hongmi's character, the first thing he did after stepping down was certainly not to rest, but to review the game.

At the beginning, he didn't make many demands on the players, simply because the spring season had just begun and he wanted to give everyone some opportunities to get used to each other.

But to his surprise... VG is now getting along quite well!
Especially the bottom lane.

So much so that even Hongmi couldn't help but praise it.

"Sima Laozei plays well, whether it's playing in the early laning phase or in the late-game core system, his performance is actually pretty good. He can even play a mixed AD like Annie?"

Unfortunately, in the face of the head coach's praise, Sima Laozei still had no expression on his face, and just replied indifferently.

"Aren't they all the same?"

"Ah? What's the same? How can this be the same?" Hongmi was stunned.

"Just chase after the nearest person A."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the knowledgeable Hongmi was silenced.

What a good pretending!

But the thing is...there doesn't seem to be anything wrong!

Listening to the strange conversation between the two, Lin Dong almost got internal injuries.

[Fuck, this sentence again? ]

[I remember that Ma Ge also said this in a previous interview...]

[That being said, he can do more than just ADC! ]

[As long as we can win, you can let him play the mage in the bottom lane. ]

[Bombman, Karthus, Snake... He has played them all! ]

Of course, Lin Dong didn't say anything. After all, mages going to the bottom lane would only be allowed in later versions.

At present, even Sima Laozei’s most powerful character, Jhin, has not appeared yet!

However, hearing Lin Dong's inner complaints, Li Yue on the side was stunned for a moment.

Wasn’t it agreed to be ADC?
Why is it bringing up the mage again?
Are there any experts?

Although a little confused, Li Yue still subconsciously prepared to complete her "daily task".

Just at this moment, Hongmi beside her asked.

"Lin Dong, we caught the opponent off guard in this round, but winning is a routine after all. The opponent will definitely be prepared for the next round. Let's see..."

"There's no need to change players, just change tactics. I don't just know tricks." Lin Dong shook his head and replied with a smile, "It's just that tricks are convenient for winning."

Hearing that Lin Dong actually answered directly this time, Li Yue who was standing beside him was completely confused!

You boy!
Haven't you always been timid and submissive before, not saying anything but having evil intentions in your heart?
Why did you suddenly change your temper today?

What should I do? What should I say?
Just when Li Yue was confused, as soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, Hongmi and Gao Jun looked at her at the same time.

They all seemed to be asking with their eyes...Boss, what do you think? Seeing this, Li Yue had to pretend to be shrewd, nodded, and said calmly.

"Well, let's do as he says."

After hearing Li Yue's answer, Gao Jun and Hongmi looked at each other and became more certain of their guess!
as predicted!

The boss and this kid Lin Dong are in the same boat!

No wonder the boss has been backing this guy!

Thinking back to when Lin Dong ran away every time the training match was over...

And the boss Li Yue disappears as soon as she gets off work...

There must be some unspeakable secret between these two people!

I can’t guarantee that the two of them…

At that moment, Gao Jun even felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, when Lin Dong was in a slump before, he didn't say anything, and he didn't make things difficult for Lin Dong like managers of other clubs did.

if not……

My position as a manager is in danger!
the other side.

After a short break, Wawa and Miller appeared on the commentary stand again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Wawa spoke first.

"Hello everyone, welcome back to the League of Legends Spring Regular Season. I am the commentator Wawa. In the game just now, the VG team shined in the first game with exquisite tactical execution and teamwork. They won the victory without any suspense and won the first game of the Bo3."

"Yes, that's right. VG's performance in the first game was eye-catching, especially the combination of Rat and Bard in the bottom lane, and the coordination between the jungler and the support in the mid-game, which made it difficult for the opponent WE to cope with. This also gave VG a huge advantage in the early stage. Although WE was also trying its best to adjust its tactics, in the last wave of the Baron fight, Wei's wonderful R flash, combined with Rat's stealth and circling, directly won the game."

"However, it is worth mentioning that... after the break, VG did not make any personnel adjustments, but kept the original lineup and continued to play."

"VG is a team that likes to change its tactics by replacing players, because everyone knows that every player has his or her own heroes and playing styles. But VG didn't make any personnel adjustments in this round, which means... maybe in the next round, VG will still use the same playing style as in the previous round. In fact, this is good news for the opponent WE. After all, every failure makes you wiser. Maybe in this round, WE can find a way to crack VG's tactics."

"So next, will WE successfully crack VG's tactics and win back a city, or will VG make a strong effort and directly defeat WE? Let's wait and see."

"First, let's take a look at the BP situation of both teams."

"In the second game of Bo3, the two teams switched sides, VG was on the blue side, and WE was on the red side."

"VG banned Lulu, Miss Fortune, and Card."

"As for WE, they chose to ban Lucian, Poppy and Skateboard Shoes."

"It's obvious that in this game, both teams don't want the other team's bottom lane to gain an advantage in the early game. Almost all of the ADCs with strong laning phases in this version were banned."

"On VG's side, the first floor took out the support position of Alistar."

"And WE chose...Huh? Rat?"

The moment they saw the mouse appear, both Wawa and Miller were stunned.

Because in the last game...VG chose Rat in the bottom lane!

Could it be that WE is planning to learn from the enemy and defeat them in this game?
However, their astonishment did not last long.

Because soon, WE chose the support Braum.

Looking at this Braum, the two suddenly realized.

"I was wondering why they picked Twitch... I thought WE was going to play bot lane roaming in this game! Turns out it was to cooperate with Braum!"

"You know what, there's something to be said about Rat working with Braum! Although the damage may be a little lacking in the early game, the ability to seize opportunities is very strong. Braum's passive is very good at catching people, and now there's another Rat. In this way, whether it's early support, laning, cooperating with the jungler to gank, or late-game team fights, they can all perform well."

"Now it depends on how VG will respond."

At this time, in VG voice.

Seeing that the other party took the lead and directly chose Twitch and Braum, Hongmi frowned again.

"Bron again?"

"Braum and Twitch? This bottom lane combination... does seem interesting!"

"Rat's invisibility can serve as a springboard for Braum, successfully making up for Braum's short range. In the early game, once his Q skill is missed, he must step up and use basic attacks to activate his passive."

"And the attack speed bonus provided by the rat's Q skill can quickly trigger the passive effect of Bron, causing him to stun."

"Not only that... if the opponent's mid and jungle duo chooses a strong early-game combination, our bottom lane will be under a lot of pressure in this round!"

When Xiao Duan heard Hongmi's muttering, he was slightly stunned.

"Why is it the bottom lane again?"

Even Lin Dong, who was standing by, was slightly stunned when he saw WE choose these two people.

"Eh? That's wrong!"

"Rat is a good match with Braum, but it's not as good as Gem Knight, right?"

"Gem's E skill can basically achieve invisibility and stun when used on the rat..."

"And the ultimate skill can help Rat enter an invincible state. During this period, Rat can deal damage at will. Isn't this better than Braum?"

But soon, Lin Dong reacted.

"Oh, wait!"

"I remember now! The gem hasn't been reworked yet, and the skill isn't this one! So the opponent can't use it!"

But then, Lin Dong suddenly smiled.

"But... even after the rework, the Rat-Gem bottom lane combination is not invincible, let alone now?"

In Lin Dong's impression, although S6 already has the auxiliary equipment Ardent Censer, its effect is quite average. Unless the team has a big guy like Kog'Maw who relies on attack speed special effects for his livelihood, no one will make it, and it also requires the cooperation of Lulu.

But in the S7 season, the Ardent Censer was completely revamped. The new version of the Censer had such amazing attributes that if there was an ADC in the bottom lane who could rely on attack speed to make a living, the support would make this equipment to enhance the ADC's output, even the Skateboard Shoes were no exception. So the League of Legends entered the "Censer Monster" version.

In the "Censer Monster" version, because the AD damage of both sides is very high, if you are not careful, you will be killed instantly by the ADC's burst, and even the tank cannot withstand it.

So, another routine reappeared.

Under the premise that both ADs can kill each other instantly, what is the most important thing?
Of course it’s the range!
An inch long, an inch strong!

Therefore, in the S7 World Championship version, the rat, whose ultimate skill can provide a range bonus, became the T0 version.

Of course, the hero Rat alone is not enough, the team also needs an auxiliary hero who can act as a censer.

There is no need to think about Lulu. In terms of banning priority, Lulu is even above Lao Shu.

Although other soft supports can also serve as censers, as soft supports, they lack offensiveness and find it difficult to gain the initiative.

So... the gem that has both control and milk supply becomes the best match for the mouse.

But even so, in the Censer Monster version, there is still a way to crack the Rat + Gem combination in the bottom lane.

The solution is...

take off!

And flying dragon riding on the face!

At this time, everyone started discussing in VG's voice.

"Braum is counterattacking again? How about Lin Dong and I use another targeted kill combination of Zed and Wei? If Rat dares to use his ultimate, we will kill him instantly?" Leng Shao said subconsciously, "The other side can't stop us."

"Not necessarily." Hongmi shook her head. "There is a delay in the burst of Zed's ultimate. In the last game, they let you pick Zed because they had already determined that the opponent was going to play a dual-core system, and their control and burst were not enough. This time, it's not certain. What if the opponent chooses an Ice Maiden in the middle lane? As soon as your ultimate lands, Ice Maiden will use her ultimate and control with her W skill. You won't be able to burst out at all and will die immediately. If you die in one battle, Lin Dong will basically not survive either. Buy one, get one free."

"That's right..." Hearing this, Leng Shao smiled awkwardly, "Then how do we deal with this rat? He's a late-game AD, and with Braum here, his output environment is too good. We can't just ignore it, right?"

However, at this moment.

Lin Dong's voice suddenly sounded in the voice chat.

"That's right, just ignore the rats."

For a moment, everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lin Dong.

Xiao Duan on the side couldn't help but say.

"No matter what... who can withstand the output of Rat in the late game? It would be possible if we had Braum, but the problem is that Braum has also been chosen by the opponent!"

"I'm just saying that we can temporarily ignore Rat's life or death. There's no need to forcefully kill him, but that doesn't mean we should let Rat deal damage as much as he wants." Lin Dong explained, "Rat's ultimate only lasts for 6 seconds, right? As soon as Rat uses his ultimate, can't we just push him away?"

"Ah? Push it away?" Leng Shao was stunned. "I play the Tsar? The problem is that I don't know how to play..."

"Who told you to push?" Lin Dong said unhappily, "It's just a metaphor. Can't you push, blow him up, or kick him away? As long as the rat can't deal a high AOE after using his ultimate, he's basically useless!"

Hearing this, Hongmi finally reacted, raised his eyebrows and said.

"You want to play with the barrel this time?"

"Well, actually Lee Sin is also OK." Lin Dong nodded, "Coincidentally, the opponent helped me ban Poppy."

"The problem is..." Hongmi said subconsciously, "Although your ultimate can blow away Rat, your ultimate is also a flying item, and Braum's E skill can be blocked... As long as he raises his shield, your ultimate will be blocked in advance, and then it will only be Braum who is blown back, not Rat... I feel like it's better to choose Lee Sin than Gragas."

"If Lee Sin wants to kick people, he has to go in. The risk is a bit high, and Gragas is just a backup. I am not the key. The key is ADC."

"Ah? ADC?" Hongmi was stunned.

"Have you all forgotten what the effect of Tristana's ultimate skill is?"

　There is one more chapter tonight, and now I have basically finished writing the big chapter~
