Chapter 71 Geometric Barrels! (6K)

"Tricky's ultimate move?"

At this time, everyone finally reacted.

Especially Redmi, the moment I heard the name, my eyes lit up.

“This is really good.”

"Although Braum's E skill can help teammates block skills, he must bear the knockback effect himself."

"He can fend off the first blow, but can he fend off the second one?"

"The key is that Rat's laning ability is weak in the early stage, and he is very afraid of the laning combination that forces a team fight in the bottom lane. It just so happens that Tristana can also fight very fiercely in the early stage, especially after having the W skill, he can jump up and force the fight. Although the opponent has Braum to fight back, Rat's damage in the early stage is not enough. In the last game, Lin Dong went to the bottom lane to help gank and didn't even kill the opponent. You can imagine the damage of Rat..."

"Okay, let's do this."

"For this lineup, in order to cooperate with the bottom lane, they will most likely choose a mid-jungle combination with strong early-game rhythm ability. The mid laner is either Li Si or Ryze, and the jungler is most likely Lee Sin. If you play Gragas, you can restrain the opponent's jungler from entering the field."

For a moment, VG's lineup for this game was gradually determined.

To everyone's surprise...

In this game, VG's lineup was strangely... very normal?
It was so normal that everyone in WE was a little confused.

"Ah? The opponent's lineup is so normal! No tricks?"

"But the opponent's Tristana, Minotaur, and Gragas are quite effective against Rat..."

"Eh? Aren't they good at warriors in the top lane? Why are they playing tanks in this game... That's not right, is the troll a warrior or a tank? But this thing can still be carried alone!"

Soon, with the last hero locked, the lineups of both sides were finally determined.

VG, blue side.

Top lane Troll, jungle Gragas, mid lane Leblanc, bottom lane Tristana + Alistar.

WE, red side.

Titan on top, Lee Sin in the jungle, Ice Girl in the middle, Twitch + Braum in the bottom lane.

Looking at the lineup on the opposite side, Lin Dong frowned slightly.

"It's really the blind monk and the ice girl..."

"I guess they thought that the Ice Maiden would stabilize the control first, and then the blind monk's Q skill would hit for sure. In this way, the success rate of ganking is very high."

"Once they get the advantage in the mid and jungle and roam to the bottom lane, with the cooperation of Braum and Twitch, it will be easy to snowball."

"With this lineup, it would be fine if the middle lane could be stabilized, but the problem is Young Master Leng..."

Lin Dong subconsciously glanced at Leng Shao.

Although he did bring purification in this game, Lin Dong didn't believe him at all.

If he could keep steady, the sow would have to be able to climb a tree.

Obviously, the mid lane cannot be relied upon in this game.

There was no other way, Lin Dong could only think of a way to start from the bottom lane.

"Although the opponent's lineup can easily snowball, their lineup lacks damage in the early stage. Only Lee Sin has higher damage in the early stage."

"The issue is……"

"Braum's passive plus Frost Witch's skill control the enemy for too long. Apart from Minotaur and Troll, no one else on our side can withstand the opponent's first round of concentrated fire."

"If you can hold on, you can give it a try, but right now... you absolutely cannot fight head-on with the other side."

At this moment, the little part in the voice was eager to try.

"Lin Dong, what do you think about the early game? Are you going to gank the middle or bottom lane in the first wave? Or should I go after the middle lane with you at level 1? I remember that this is how we played against EDG last time. Do you want to give it a try?"

This time, Lin Dong decisively shook his head and refused, and replied.

"Don't cause trouble in the early stages."

"what?"

"I forgot how we found the opportunity in the last game?" Lin Dong said slowly. "The opponent's Braum and Lee Sin were strong in the early game, and they also had Rat. They could have just learned from us in the last game and let Rat use his Q skill to turn invisible and find our position... Unless the opponent is stupid, we can't have easily gained an advantage in the early game like we did before."

"Okay, then in this round, Ma Ge and I will just develop in the bottom lane." Xiao Duan said angrily.

"It would be great if it were that simple." Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh.

Although Xiaoduan's upper limit is indeed very high, what the support position needs most is not roaming and operation, but awareness, and awareness... requires a lot of game experience to accumulate. Of course, spectator experience is also fine.

But obviously, Xiao Duan still needs to be tempered.

However, Lin Dong was too lazy to talk to him now, so he just started giving orders directly.

"Switch lanes. Xiao Duan, Ma Ge, you guys go to the top lane, and Long Ge, you switch to the bottom lane."

"Row."

The strategy of switching lanes at level 5 was used as early as S, so everyone was familiar with it this time.

As for why we need to change the line, the reason is very simple.

In the bottom lane of the blue team, there is a triangle grass that you can go around. If the support goes to the triangle grass to gain vision, it is easy for the opponent jungler to catch him. If you don't gain vision, it is easy for the opponent jungler to find an opportunity to go around and gank, which is easy to give you an opportunity.

In contrast, on the blue team's top lane, the triangle grass is located behind the defense tower, and the wall in between is extremely thick.

Except for the excavator, basically no jungler can gank from behind.

In this way, the bottom lane duo can develop safely.

On the other side, the WE team soon discovered something was wrong.

After going invisible and not finding the opposing duo in the bottom lane, he saw the troll standing in the bottom lane instead, and the brother-in-law raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Did the other side change lanes?"

"I guess they were a little afraid of being caught in this round, so they switched to the top lane." Zero nodded. "The opponent is pretty smart. They know that we are good at finding opportunities in the early stage."

"Isn't that nonsense? We were the ones playing with the mouse in the beginning, of course we know." The brother-in-law muttered.

"You guys should switch as well." Condi shook his head and said, "If the opponent wants to develop steadily, then develop steadily. It just so happens that Rat lacks damage in the early stage."

However, Condi didn't know at that time that the reason VG changed lanes was not for development at all.

But for better attack!
Seeing that WE's bottom lane duo was also forced up by him, at that moment, a smile appeared on Lin Dong's face again.

"Sure enough... the opponent also knows that they lack damage in the early stage, and even with Braum, they have no intention of invading."

"But it could also be that after the invasion went wrong in the last game, the opponent got scared."

"The issue is……"

"If you don't invade my jungle in this round, I will invade your jungle!"

After saying that, Lin Dong didn't care whether there were eyes at the entrance to the upper jungle area of ​​the opponent, and walked directly towards WE's upper jungle area.

Seeing this scene, the people in the audience immediately went wild.

"Fuck? There are Twitch and Braum on the other side, and you dare to invade? Don't you want to live?"

"What the hell? If Bron catches me, won't I die immediately?"

"Yeah, what is Winter God thinking about?"

"Oh no, I'm not going to get sick again, just like during the live broadcast!"

At this time, Wawa and Miller in the commentary booth also noticed this unusual scene, and their brows immediately frowned.

"VG's side... Is the jungler Gragas preparing to invade WE's upper jungle?"

"The problem is that WE's bottom lane duo also switched lanes. If we counter-jungle like this, isn't the risk a bit too great?"

"It's a bit too risky..."

But suddenly, the doll found something wrong!
"Huh? He didn't go to counter the red buff? Instead, he learned the W skill at level 1 and then killed four birds first?"

At the same time, everyone from WE also saw Lin Dong's position through their vision.

However, when I saw that Lin Dong did not choose to counter the red buff, but went directly to counter the four birds.

For a moment, everyone in WE was stunned!

Which jungler will counter the four birds first?

But the problem is...

The moment Condi saw this scene, his brain froze.

"Wait a minute? Wait! This barrel is actually opened in F4? This is broken!"

"No wonder the opposing duo in the bottom lane switched lanes! If they switched to the top lane, I would have to start the game in the bottom jungle and then work my way up. I can't go and train the Troll, right? The problem is that if I do that, I won't have enough time to go back and take care of this Gragas."

"Next, if he continues to counter my red buff, I can go straight over without clearing the jungle."

"But the problem is..."

"He's already here, there must be an eye in the bushes next to him!"

"And our mid laner, Ice Maiden, was fighting against Leblanc, and was pushed back in the early game! If we wanted to go to the jungle to catch this Gragas, we would definitely be discovered by the opponent in the first place."

"When the time comes, this wine barrel will definitely run away immediately!"

"In this way, although the opponent's Gragas wastes time, Xiye and I...will also waste time."

"This Gragas's fighting style is so damn disgusting!"

For a moment, Condi put on a mask of pain.

At this time, the brother-in-law who had just come online had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and spoke subconsciously.

"If it doesn't work, Braum and I can go to the jungle to help you?"

However, as soon as the brother-in-law finished speaking, Zero immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"why?"

"We don't have an advantage in this round! If Gragas opens the red buff at level 1, we still have time to get back after going to support, but if it's four birds... we will definitely lose experience if we come back."

"Not only that, even if the opponent's Gragas kills four birds and continues to counter-jungle to get the red buff, we still can't go to support him!"

"Because if we go through, we will definitely pass through the triangular grass in the upper half."

"It's easy to go to support, but it's hard to come back!"

"The opposing Alistar and Tristana not only have high burst damage, stable control, and strong first-hand ability, but the key is Tristana's passive, which allows the opponent to completely control the lane!"

"Once we leave the top lane tower, the opponent's Tristana and Alistar will definitely come to block us after pushing the line, either in the triangle grass or in the bush in front of the stone man."

"By then, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get back to the first tower!"

"In the last game, the opposing duo in the bottom lane dared to roam in the early game because they had Bard who could open a portal!"

"Not only that, in the last round they were in the lower half of the red team, so they wouldn't be intercepted if they returned to the line, but we can't do that this round!"

As soon as these words came out, the brother-in-law subconsciously thought of himself going to support. As a result, when he turned around, he found that at the triangle grass, the Minotaur, who had been waiting for a long time, used WQ to push him up, and Tristana jumped into his face without saying a word. He subconsciously shuddered.

For a moment, WE's rhythm was awkward again right at the start!

At the same time, in the lounge below the stage.

Watching what was happening on the screen, HooN couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

After a moment, he suddenly let out a long sigh and then cursed.

"Damn it!" "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have switched lanes from bottom to top!"

"How come this jungler on the opposite side can always find our weaknesses?"

And for everyone in VG at this time.

The rhythm of this game...seems a bit weird.

It seemed like nothing was done, everyone was laning normally, the only difference was that the two sides switched lanes and the jungler invaded the jungle area...

But before I knew it, I felt like I had the advantage again.
Even Xiao Duan couldn't help but become curious.

"Eh? The other side just let you invade the jungle area? No one is watching you?"

"You can, but there's no need." Lin Dong replied with a smile, "Because if you control me, the price paid by the mid and bottom lane duo will be even greater."

"What do you mean?"

"You know Tian Ji's horse racing, right?" Seeing the pace slowed down, Lin Dong patiently explained, "In this round, I'm actually the inferior horse. The opponent's blind monk is very strong in the early stage, so he is the superior horse. My task in this round is actually to hold back the blind monk."

"If the opponent wants to support Lee Sin, they have to find a way to push the lane. The problem is that they only have medium-level horses, while our mid-lane Leblanc, Tristana + Alistar are top-level horses, so they don't dare to come over. Even if they come over, they may not be able to go back smoothly, because we have lane control and will definitely block their retreat. On the contrary, as long as I decisively use Flash and E to escape, the opponent may not be able to catch up with me."

“So the other side doesn’t dare to gamble.”

Hearing this, Xiao Duan nodded as if he understood and asked.

"Isn't this the same self-destruction style that we used against RNG before? Keep going into the opponent's jungle area and help your teammates gain an advantage."

"It's not like I'm self-destructing. That kind of play requires my teammates to ignore me. I still need my teammates' help in this game. In fact, this play is more about operations." Lin Dong said, "The opposing jungler is in a difficult situation now. He definitely doesn't want to switch jungle, but the problem is... the Ice Girl is being suppressed and can't stop in the laning phase. His only way is to gank the mid lane first, help the Ice Girl clear the line, and force our Leblanc back..."

"So now you just need to go back and help the mid laner counter-camp?" Xiao Duan understood and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This routine is indeed effective! No wonder we chose to switch lanes before, so that we could block the opponent's support and return to the line, right?"

"Yes, Leng Shao happened to have Purification with him. Even if he is imprisoned by Ice Girl's W before level 6, he won't be killed instantly. And my E skill can interrupt Lee Sin's second Q skill. I can use him to catch some fish."

"I'm listening too!" Leng Shao at the side couldn't help but said, "Can you not be so blunt?"

"So, would you rather suppress the opponent's mid laner in the laning phase and then be the bait, or would you rather learn from Lord Hou and endure the pressure in the laning phase and develop in the late game?"

"Forget it, I'll just be the bait."

After Leng Shao finished speaking, he directly used his W skill to step on her and continue to suppress the Ice Girl's health.

Seeing this scene, Lin Dong was also happy.

Because this is the effect I want!
Rat and Braum are indeed very strong in finding opportunities, but what are they most afraid of?
Besides being afraid of being pushed away when using the ultimate, the other thing is being afraid of the dragon hitting your face!

Being good at finding opportunities does not mean being good at laning!

So, soon, a very magical scene appeared on the field.

The Tristana in the top lane and the Leblanc in the middle lane, without thinking twice, just used their flying dragons to attack their faces!
At this time, Condi, who had reached level 3 and was eager to return to the upper lane to find his rhythm, finally came to the middle lane, ready to attack Ahri.

This time, Xiye did go up, and he did use his W skill to freeze Leblanc first. With the help of the short-term imprisonment effect, Xiye's Lee Sin's Q skill also hit Leblanc.

But he didn't dare to fly!

Because at the same time, the opposing jungler Gragas also appeared.

"It's over..."

"Our burst is not as high as the opponent's!"

"And with Gragas here, I can't use the second part of my Q skill!"

"If I can't use the second part of the Q skill to kill, my damage burst will be greatly reduced. And once I get knocked unconscious, the opponent will most likely kill me with a burst!"

After a moment, Condi gritted his teeth, gave up this wave of rhythm, and decided to reach level 6 before coming out.

However, this caused hardship for both my brother-in-law and Xiye.

Faced with Tristana and LeBlanc's constant dragon-riding attacks, the two were under maximum pressure in the laning phase and could only hold on with great difficulty.

Fortunately, the two had good laning ability. Even though the opponent jumped into their faces several times, they were only suppressed in terms of last hits and levels, and were not killed.

And during the difficult wait...the first good news finally appeared in the voice.

Condi's Lee Sin finally reached level 6!

This time, Condi finally stopped hesitating. After returning to the city and updating his equipment, he didn’t even go to the jungle and went straight to the top lane!

At the same time, Wawa and Miller in the commentary booth also noticed his movements and spoke up.

"It seems like Condi here...is not going to go jungle anymore? Instead, he's going to go directly to the top lane to gank people?"

"Yes! Now that Condi is level 6, there is indeed a chance this time!"

"The Rat has gone into stealth mode, and VG seems to have not noticed Lee Sin's arrival yet and is still pushing the lane, while Gragas is still farming in the jungle!"

"Something might be wrong with VG this time!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, a small-scale team battle on the top lane was about to break out.

As expected.

The rat approached stealthily, and when Braum saw that the time was right, he immediately used W to go over, then got close to the face with a basic attack to activate his passive, and at the same time used his Q skill to slow down the opponent.

Although Tristana decisively activated her W skill and jumped back as soon as the rat appeared, she was still a step too late. As the crossbow arrow flew out, Tristana was stunned by Braum's passive skill as soon as she landed.

In this game, in order to maximize the suppression on the laning line, Sima Laozei chose to trust Xiaoduan's Minotaur, so he did not bring purification.

But unfortunately, although Xiaoduan did try his best to protect him, Condi, who was already full of resentment, was more decisive.

He flashed to avoid the Minotaur's WQ combo, and at the same time, he moved away and used a Q punishment to kill the minions blocking his way. At the same time, his Q skill accurately hit the stunned Tristana. Then the second Q skill flew over, and he used a standard Insec eye-touching roundhouse kick to kick Tristana back!
Although the Rat's burst was not high in the early stage, the level 6 Lee Sin made up for the lack of damage. Even if Sima Laozei's Tristana got rid of the stun and gave up the flash and healing spells, it was still a temporary solution.

Not long after, Tristana was flashed forward by Brother-in-law's Rat and hit with a basic attack, and then the full-level passive and E skill were used to kill him directly.

"First Blood!"

This time, the first blood finally didn't belong to VG!

But it belongs to WE!

Seeing Tristana die, all the WE members couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for a moment.

Finally there is a game, and we have the advantage in the early stage!
Looking at this scene, Wawa and Miller in the commentary booth couldn't help but shook their heads and spoke.

"Sure enough, VG pushed too deep and something went wrong this time."

"The main reason was that I didn't expect Condi to go to the jungle at first, but chose to go directly to gank people."

"And Dong didn't come over to help right away. Instead, he chose to reach level 6 first. The problem is... Tristana still couldn't hold on! Condi flashed to dodge Alistar's WQ combo, and used Q to punish him, plus a ward and a roundhouse kick. It was really cool! Condi really showed his skills this time."

However, at this moment, looking at the movement of the barrel on the screen, Miller on the side was suddenly stunned.

"Huh? Tristana is dead, but Gragas is still moving forward?"

"Wait! With the way he's moving, does he want to continue going forward?"

"The problem is that Tristana is dead now. Even though Braum's E skill has been used, Rat's Q skill has been refreshed after he participated in the kill."

"We won't be given any chances this time, right?"

At the same time, seeing the Gragas walking towards the low-health Twitch, the VG fans in the audience also started to get anxious.

"Why are you chasing someone again? Please don't chase him this time!"

"Yeah! The rat has already entered stealth mode, why should we chase it? What if after we get on it, I can't kill the rat with my skills, and then Braum activates his passive, then he's dead, right?"

"Don't get too excited, Winter God! Retreat quickly!"

"Tsk, when Lee Sin was ganking you earlier, you were in the jungle and didn't come to support quickly. Now you know you're in a hurry?"

And at this time, in the game.

Looking at his half remaining health and the level 6 Gragas not far away, after killing Tristana, the brother-in-law quickly activated his Q skill again.

It was not until he entered invisible mode that the brother-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the opposing jungler doesn't know your position, so at least he won't kill you instantly, right?

Thinking of this, he was even a little worried. Even after becoming invisible, he deliberately did not walk in a straight line, but moved to the side.

However, at this moment.

Something happened that he could never have imagined.

I saw the barrel not far away. After drinking the wine, he first released an inexplicable Q skill on the spot.

Then...the E skill went straight towards his position!
Seeing this scene, the brother-in-law suddenly had a bad feeling.

"This barrel on the opposite side, doesn't he think he can predict my position?"

The voice just fell.

Bang!
Gragas just uses E to flash!
It hit the mouse that was in invisible state exactly at an extreme angle!

boom!
At that moment, my brother-in-law suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

"Ah? You can guess my location with this?"

"I've already moved!"

However, the barrel in front of him did not give him any chance to move.

While the E skill stuns him, the R skill in Gragas' hand is also released directly!

At this moment, the brother-in-law looked at the dizziness on his forehead and wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only watch the [Exploding Wine Barrel] explode behind him!

The next second, the rat's body flew backwards uncontrollably under the effect of Gragas' ultimate move.

And the landing point... happened to be on the Q skill [Rolling Barrel] that Gragas had released before!

In an instant, the screen in front of my brother-in-law went black!
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Afterwards, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again.

"what???"

"Wait? How did this rat die? Didn't he use the Q skill to turn invisible just now?"

"Turtle! This E flash! He actually guessed the location where Rat was hiding?"

"He used E flash to predict the situation, and then used his ultimate to blast the rat onto the Gragas with his Q skill. This is so cool! He is worthy of being the God of Winter!"

"Simple geometry, huh?"

"My brother-in-law is stupid. Can this be predicted?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this distance, this angle, so precise!"

"My underwear is visible!"

"Brother, is this true? Is it really so smooth?"

"What kind of trick barrel is this!"

In the commentary booth, seeing this scene, Wawa and Miller both took a deep breath and said in unison.

"This is... a geometric barrel?!"

"First, use the Q skill to charge on the spot, then use the E flash to stun the enemy, and then use the explosion of the ultimate skill to force displacement, blasting the enemy directly onto the Q skill and detonating it at the same time. This wave is a textbook-level geometry barrel!"

"But the problem is... these rats of my brother-in-law have already entered the invisible state in advance!"

"The key is, Wawa, did you notice that just now, after the rat entered the invisible state, it even moved! But even so, the position was still predicted by the barrel! With no vision, he hit it with E flash!"

"This predictive ability, as well as the precise calculation of skill range and explosion range... It's obvious that he's an old wine barrel!"
