763: Weird Catch, Magical Path Selection!

“Here it comes!” Wawa’s voice rose, “Brother Xing’s signature skill will once again appear on the World Championship stage!”

Qian Jue’s appearance instantly brought the Wenhe Stadium into a boiling scene!

All the audience knew what Kindred meant to Gu Xing and even VG!

Shen Guanshan clapped hard, her cheeks turning as red as her palms.

The selection animation of Kindred was also played on the big screen at the scene, and she stared at the furry Lamb.

“The classic mid-jungle combination Galio + Kindred from VG, this system has helped the team to make great contributions, and it still maintains a 100% winning rate so far,” Miller was excited, “It depends on whether this game can continue the unbeaten record!”

The director gave the specific data of VG’s use of this combination in a timely manner.

Gu Xing + Kuro have selected the Kindred + Galio combination 11 times in total.

Not to mention winning all the games, in these 11 games, Gu Xing's total damage ratio was 107 kills, 6 deaths, and 77 assists, with a KDA of an astonishing 67, far higher than his own Kindred's damage ratio of 3.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Galio is Kindred's powerful amplifier!

In addition, with Galio, Gu Xing Kindred's team output ratio will surge to 1%, higher than the usual average of 4%; the economic lead in the position is as high as 3757, the average output per minute is 734, and the damage conversion rate is 5%...

It's really terrifying!

The series of data given not only caused the 50,000 spectators in the Wenhe Arena to exclaim, but also made countless netizens who watched the finals through the live broadcast platform amazed!

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, the live broadcast room was full of people, and the number of viewers alone had already broken the highest viewing record of this global finals, and even completed double kills.

It is conceivable what kind of sensation the LPL civil war in this world championship caused in China!

As a result, the number of comments increased rapidly!

[Send! IG fans can go watch an episode of anime, and come back in half an hour to watch the second game of the finals]

[Virtue: It's over! ]

[To be honest, I don't know how Xingge will lose after getting Kindred! ]

[Classic combination, I really don't understand why IG didn't ban Kindred in the first round]

[I guess they are confident that they can deal with it...]

[Smile, everyone, can IG really handle it? Don't dig a hole and bury yourself when the time comes! ]

[If it was someone else's Kindred + Galio, I would really believe in IG in this version, but Xingge + Kuro's partnership, these two people can pick two heroes against the version and become the C! ]

Kim Jung-soo frowned slightly, not as arrogant as when he boldly released Gu Xing's Kindred before.

But unlike the content emphasized in the comments, he still didn't worry about Gu Xing's Kindred.

After all, he can’t just rely on the supermodel Akali.

There is also the version.

It has been a week since VG first used the fasting flow mid-lane playstyle, and IG has figured out the basic concept.

The mid-term combat power of the tool man mid-lane + jungle core is very limited.

What do you rely on to fight my Akali + Xin Zhao mid-jungle combination?

If the fight really comes, I’m afraid Akali will just cut in and Kindred will have to use his ultimate at the first sight!

Now his real problem is what hero to choose for TheShy.

In order to fully exert the strength of IG’s mid-jungle, Kim Jeong-soo must further improve the line control ability of the top unit, so that he can cover Ning Wang in the early stage to launch an attack in the enemy jungle as in the semi-final against G2.

However, now that Irelia has been banned by himself, and Jayce has been blocked by VG, the only one who can restrain Aatrox in the top lane in the current version is Crab!

But Redmi didn't even want to give him Urgot. In the second round of BP, he sent Crab to the ban position, and then banned Minotaur to prevent Liu Qingsong from getting the role that was easy to force the team.

Jin Jingzhu felt that the situation was not good.

Under many restrictions, it was difficult for Jiang Chenglu to take out the hero that met the requirements!

He understood it.

From the beginning of the BP, he completely stepped into the trap set by VG!

The opponent had already prepared to make BP around the Sword Demon.

Since TheShy's Aatrox played too well in the semi-finals, VG must be quite afraid.

The countermeasure they gave was to raise the priority of the Sword Demon, seize the time to pick it, and then ban the hero that restrained Aatrox, so that Jiang Chenglu could not choose the right hero to suppress it.

For this reason, they even released Akali to trick IG on the blue side to give the precious first choice position to the Stray Thorn to help VG realize the plan of grabbing the Sword Demon. It was definitely a good intention!

In fact, under normal circumstances, this trick will not be applicable.

Because there are too many positions that can restrain Aatrox.

Aatrox is more afraid of Jayce and Irelia in the top lane, and he is afraid of Leblanc and Syndra in the middle lane. If VG wants to use this trick to grab the ban, they must first ban the restraining heroes in the first round of ban selection, so that Aatrox can be useful.

Otherwise, if TheShy/Rookie takes out the heroes with advantages in the lane, they will definitely beat Smeb to the point where he can't take care of himself!

Then the IG mid and top who control the lane can naturally accompany Ning Wang to invade the jungle, and VG will lose more than they gain!

But the problem is that the ban positions in the first round are already very tight. How can we play if we have to free up two ban positions for a Aatrox?

Therefore, the applicability of this trick is too narrow.

But Jin Jingzhu came up with BP in this game just so that he could choose Jace or Sword Demon, and he blocked the Sword Girl in a hurry.

This move indirectly serves as a wedding gift for VG. As long as Hongmi bans Piltover's second battalion commander, they will have a Sword Demon who will not be suppressed in the top lane!

Jin Jingzhu was immersed in the joy of Akali being released by VG at the time, and was almost turned into a cockroach. How could he have the time to carefully consider the enemy's thoughts?

Now I'm coming back to my senses, but it's too late.

Despite all the helplessness, we can only suppress our inner uneasiness for the time being and focus on the BP stage first.

Jin Jingzhu chose to block Xia and Lucian one after another, trying to block Jack's shooter hero pool.

VG’s choice is…

Come on, have a blast!

Bomber!

The evil smile on Giggs's face coupled with the yordle's cute look makes him look somewhat funny.

The hustle and bustle that arose in the venue due to Gu Xing's selection of Qian Jue had just subsided before it came back again!

According to the information given by the director, this game is the first time Bomberman has ever appeared on the World Championship finals stage!

At least in the professional arena in the past two years, Bomb Monster is absolutely unpopular!

"Let's take Leona," Jin Jingzhu said in a tone that said nothing, "Don't let the opponent get a bottom lane combination with a particularly strong control chain."

Bomb Monster + Sunshine Girl belong to the classic fixed-point explosion lineup. As long as they are controlled, Bomberman's damage is not low while ensuring the hit rate of his skills. During the laning period, there is even a chance to create a kill opportunity!

Jin Jingzhu did not dare to neglect.

Seeing the team members snatching Leona, he turned back to TheShy, "Be careful, Cheng Ru. We can't crush the Sword Demon in terms of lane rights, so we'll do the next best thing and use the support frequency to suppress the opponent."

"As long as Ning can be helped in time, he can go to the jungle to attack with confidence!"

Jiang Chenglu was reluctant.

Although the hero Shen can suppress the sword demon who has not yet been upgraded in the early stage, after Aatrox performs Youmeng to reduce the skill cooldown to a certain level, his waist will be like a top, and he will be beaten wildly by the sword demon!

In his opinion, there were better options than Shen.

Sword Princess Fiona.

This hero can brutally torture the sword demon from beginning to end, oppressing the opponent until he can't breathe!

He wanted to convince his coaches and teammates.

"Sword Princess, isn't Sword Princess good, oh?" TheShy said in extremely poor Chinese.

Jin Jingzhu immediately objected and vetoed, "No, although Sword Girl is easy to fight in the lane, her style of play tends to be solo, and it will not be effective at all in a team fight!"

"It's Shen, it's your choice!"

Jiang Chenglu heard that his coach was resolute, so he had no choice but to obey.

His ability to make it this far in the World Championships relies on his obedience and execution.

TheShy has trimmed away the looseness in his temperament and strives to do things according to the needs of the coach and the team. His playing style is accordingly more rigorous and not as dissolute as when he played in the league before.

After IG locked up caution, VG's counter position also surfaced immediately.

Auxiliary Titan.

Another control expert may not be as good as Leona in her ability to link up with bomb monsters to a certain extent, but she is still above the baseline and has a certain level of coordination.

The lineups of both sides have been selected.

Blue square IG: top laner Shen, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Akali, bottom lane Kai'Sa + Leona.

Red side VG: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Kindred, mid laner Galio, bottom lane Bomberman + Titan.

Jin Jingzhu scanned the lineups of both sides, and his first reaction was quite good.

Although IG is too biased towards charging into the formation, the shooting ranges of several C positions are relatively short. Once they are at a disadvantage, it is easy for the opponent to roll up and push the tower, but they do not even have the means to resist.

But everything requires specific analysis of specific issues.

What this version focuses on is the ability to snowball in the early and mid-term, making it difficult to overturn.

Often the lineup that goes all-in and rushes forward will be more popular!

"Remember to attack around Ning," Jin Jingzhu warned before leaving, "try not to let Qian Jue get too comfortable in the jungle!"

Gao Zhenning shook his legs and showed the OK gesture with great confidence, "Don't worry, brother, I must teach Gu Xing a good lesson!"

Jin Jingzhu then turned around and left, left the soundproof room and came to the center of the stage to shake hands with Hongmi.

Two Samsung Galaxy coaches, using a playing system that runs counter to Samsung's style of play, met on the highest stage in the world.

Both of them were brainstorming, thinking about how to win the final. They didn't have much conversation. They just nodded slightly to show courtesy and returned to the backstage.

The director's camera flashed across the stands of Wenhe Stadium. The audience was extremely excited, expecting the canyon to arrive as soon as possible, waving flags and shouting in their seats to cheer for the teams they supported!

Among them, the number of VG loyal fans shows an overwhelming advantage. They have small stickers with the team logo on their faces. In terms of momentum, they completely crush IG Gouzi!

The screen quickly zoomed up until it could overlook the entire Wenhe Arena, including the distant coastline and wheat fields.

Then seamlessly access the content of the final promotional video.

When the waves hit the rocks, the background music "Rise" sounded, and at the same time, the deep narration voice of the Roaring Emperor cut in.

"Unconsciously, late autumn has arrived, and the long journey to the global finals is almost over. The two LPL teams will slaughter the LCK team one by one, and finally get the ticket to Incheon."

"This summer, they once fought in Nanjing Youth Olympic Park..."

Rookie's big face appeared in the promotional video. He was usually honest and serious. "That match was lost by IG 1:3, which is still fresh in my memory."

"My first LPL finals was a miserable defeat. At that time, I secretly vowed to get back everything I lost!" Rouji looked determined.

"It's been two months since the end of the summer finals. My teammates and I have made all preparations and can't wait to start revenge!"

The other four IG players walked out from behind Song Yijin, with their arms folded and their faces looking down on the world.

At this time, the background sound of Rise was mixed with the journey of IG, and the passionate English commentary filled the ears of all the audience.

"IG completely destroyed Griffin's defense! They are simply a bunch of lunatics, and they used an extremely manic attack without reason to defeat the newcomer GRF, trying to give the opponent a place in the top 16!"

"Rookie's Leblanc handed over the WR double step, Ning's Shen followed up with E flash to force a team fight, IG said: 'Goodbye, King Zone!' They will break the best record in team history and advance to the semifinals!"

"The No. 1 seed KT from LCK also couldn't stop IG's strong advancement. TheShy's Aatrox was too scary. In the team battle formation, it was like cutting melons and vegetables to destroy all KT players. My God...IG is not satisfied yet, and wants to go one step further to enter the finals and achieve an unprecedented LPL meeting with VG!"

Song Yijin said in Mandarin with a slight barbecue accent, "I believe Incheon is IG's promised land, where we will destroy VG's dynasty rule!"

He spoke firmly, as if he was thinking back to the beach in Haeundae, Busan.

"VG, your fate will be the same as all the teams we have crushed along the way, and you can only witness IG holding the Summoner's Cup in the end..."

The camera slowly moved forward until a dark Iron Throne appeared in the picture.

The background sound also switched to more exciting drums, and Rise's shouts echoed in the space again and again!

Even the English commentary quoted was a little louder.

"VG defeated all challengers one by one, they are the undisputed best in the world!"

"VG's dominance continues, and no one can stop them from defending their title!"

The lights turned on just right, illuminating Gu Xing sitting on the Iron Throne.

"I have challenged the dynasty of another team in recent years, and because of this, I know more clearly that it is lonely at the top."

"When you are at the top of the mountain, all opponents will study you and covet the throne under you. Every victory you achieve in this state is hard-won..."

He said in a steady and powerful tone, "But in my opinion, VG's rule has not yet come to an end."

"In my opinion, IG is no different from those ordinary challengers, fantasizing about becoming a dragon slayer, but in the end they are just ants."

Gu Xing stood up, and the camera specially chose to shoot from the bottom up, adding a sense of oppression to his words.

VG players slowly walked into the picture from the edge of the camera, standing beside Gu Xing like left and right protectors.

"Just wait and see. I will use reality to tell IG that the only difference between them and the teams that were eliminated by VG before is that they met us one step later - this is not something to boast about."

The crowd in Wenhe Stadium was surging, and the sound of discussion was endless. Obviously, they were shocked by Gu Xing's harsh words.

"Yes, handsome Gu!" Gu Pan clenched his fist and shook it, feeling very excited.

"Sparrows eat crickets..." Shen Guanshan nodded in agreement, and did not forget to add, "The thing I admire most about Gu Xing is that he keeps his word and loves to tell the truth."

Gu Pan couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

Isn't it?

In short, he is the king of pretentiousness.

The most sassy thing is that if he encounters something he is not sure of, Gu Xing never speaks out, but only speaks wildly and harshly in the areas he is most proficient in and is sure of.

While everyone was discussing, Summoner's Rift had already arrived!

Gu Xing in the soundproof room moved his wrist.

Although he was so arrogant in the promotional video, when he was really in the arena, Gu Xing was still cautious and handled things with extreme caution.

"Let's not be too aggressive at level 1, just stand along the river," he made arrangements after weighing the pros and cons, "I plan to release all the river crabs in the first round."

"Ah?!" Kuro was immediately anxious when he heard that his jungler was going to delay development, "I can come and help you grab it!"

"There is no line right in both side lanes, there is really no need to take too much risk," Gu Xing rejected this suggestion, "Everyone develop steadily, I have other arrangements."

If the mid-lane Galio wants to grab the line hard in the early stage, he can indeed succeed with Q [War Wind] and passive hammer, and is far ahead of Akali in terms of line right.

But the top lane Sword Demon vs. Shen, the bottom lane bomb monster + Titan vs. Kaisa + Leona, are all disadvantageous lines in the early stage.

If you really want to fight around the river crab, IG's sideline reinforcements will definitely be able to rush to the battlefield to support it in the first time!

Kuro saw Gu Xing insisting, so he had to give up, "Okay, if you can use me later, Brother Xing, just tell me, I will definitely do my best!"

Jack teased, "Do your best? I think it's Yi Fu!"

The team voice chat immediately became a little more cheerful.

Kuro, who has been studying Mandarin for nearly two years, can now understand what Yu Wenbo is playing with homophonic puns, and his eyes are wide open.

"It's just Yi Fu, so what!"

"Are you jealous? It's a pity that Xiao Gu ignores you. You don't even want to be someone's son..."

Jack's lips moved, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

La is really awesome, there is such a way to fight back?

Gu Xing listened to his teammates' jokes, and the picture was always focused on the canyon, with a high degree of concentration, fearing that IG would play a sinister trick to come and suck in.

But fortunately, the Ji team did not intend to come together to invade, probably considering the importance of the first game of the finals, and also wanted to be safe to avoid making a big mistake.

Gu Xing started to play jungle from the blue BUFF camp in the lower half of the area, and with the help of his own duo, he easily reached level 2. Then he did not rush to kill the nearby magic frog, but ran to the lower river to place a trinket eye.

It was this eye position that helped Gu Xing detect the movements of King Ning when the river crab refreshed at 2 minutes.

Zhao Xin brought the freshly baked red BUFF and a spear to the lower river, and stabbed the swift crab with the wolf spirit mark on its head!

After killing the river crab, he moved to the upper half of the area with a spear, and left the lower river without looking back.

Gu Xing obtained countless information from this scene.

The opponent obviously started from the red in the lower half.

And through the mana and time lost by the VG duo before going online, it can be roughly guessed that Gu Xing also started from the lower jungle area.

In this way, Zhao Xin kept playing jungle in the same direction as himself, and it was likely that he wanted to start the group invasion during the first round of wild monster clearing, and give him a little color through the line and wild linkage!

After guessing Ning Wang's intention, Gu Xing was also thinking about specific response strategies while clearing the jungle.

Got it!

Gu Xing quickly cleaned up the Shadow Wolf Camp, cleared three groups of wild monsters and successfully reached level 3, and then immediately set off for the lower river.

However, his route planning was very tricky. He walked through the grass in the lower river and was not exposed to the enemy's Swift Crab Altar throughout the whole process!

Controlling Kindred through the lower river, Gu Xing went straight to IG's lower jungle area!

There was no one here now, Zhao Xin had already run to the upper jungle area!

"Get ready in the lower lane, pay attention to my position!" He reminded his duo, "Kill the ADC first, don't worry about the support!"

Jack was overjoyed.

Since VG decided to use the upper half of the area as the core of the attack, he no longer had any hope for Gu Xing.

In the two rounds of BO5 since the quarterfinals, Gu Xing has been attacking around the upper half of the area. He only came to the bottom lane once during the laning phase, and that was to counter-camp.

Yu Wenbo never expected that he would actually wait for Gu Xing to come to help him!

He was so excited that he even responded with extra energy, "Okay, Old Gu, you come to catch it, the kill is yours!"

At the same time, Gao Zhenning was planning to do something famous.

Not long ago, when the first round of river crabs refreshed, King Ning saw that Gu Xing did not come to compete for the swift crab with the wolf spirit mark, so he guessed that the other party wanted to give up both river crabs in exchange for Kindred to be able to safely clear the first round of camps from bottom to top when neither the upper nor lower sidelines could help.

But King Ning is so fierce, how could he let Gu Xing pass the early stage so easily?

You don't think that you can sign a land compensation agreement with me here, and let go of the river crabs and go back to brush the jungle with peace of mind?

No way!

Gao Zhenning first took the blue BUFF in his upper jungle area, upgraded to level 3, and then crossed the river to the enemy jungle area, seeking to capture the Kindred that the development girl was brushing!

He waited until level 3 to take action, firstly to avoid the level difference in the matchup - after all, in his opinion, Kindred is likely to brush up from the bottom one by one, and may have been upgraded to level 3 when it comes to the upper jungle area. Ning Wang brushed the blue BUFF to catch up with the level and obtain CD reduction to improve combat effectiveness.

Second, to wait for teammates to be in place.

Now it is only about 2 minutes and 40 seconds, and the third wave of soldiers in the upper lane has just arrived. TheShy is operating Shen to chop the cannon soldiers with force, and wants to send them to Song Jinghao's tower together with the two waves of short lines he had previously stockpiled, and use the soldiers to firmly restrict them in the upper lane.

In this way, in the next upper jungle attack and defense battle, Gu Xing will not be able to get help from the top lane, and at most only one mid laner Galio will come to support!

At that time, IG will have a 3v2 advantage in the upper half of the area, and Gao Zhenning can't figure out how he is going to lose!

Hehehe...

Ning Wang was full of pride and crossed the upper river to head for VG's jungle.

As a result, he saw the safe and sound Razorbeak camp!

Hmm?

Gao Zhenning's brain froze for a moment.

What's going on? !

Logically speaking, Kindred didn't have to travel back and forth like his Zhao Xin, and only had to clean up the camp in VG's lower jungle. He should have reached level 3 earlier than him to clean up the camp in the upper half!

But why was Kindred still nowhere to be seen?

Ning Wang placed a ward through the wall at the enemy's red BUFF camp and found that this group of wild monsters had also survived, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Be careful, Kindred might go for a gank!"

He quickly sent a signal to his teammates in the bottom lane.

From the information currently available, Kindred obviously knew that he was active in the upper half of the area, so there was no reason for him to come for the middle and upper lanes, otherwise he would be exploding on the spot if he was counter-camped!

If Gu Xing wanted to gank someone, the only possibility was the bottom lane!

Lin Weixiang's tone was full of helplessness, "I know... why didn't you say it earlier?"

The Sheep Spirit Mark appeared above the head of the Kaisa he was operating. Everyone knew that Gu Xing would definitely freeze his hands in the bottom lane!

Da Mei quickly retreated with Liu Qingsong.

But the bottom lane was too long.

Just like the top lane, the IG duo had been pushing the line to grab the second since the beginning, trying to put pressure on the opponent's jungle area.

The strategy was very successful. Kaisa's ability to grab the second should not be underestimated. Icathia's heavy rain combined with Sunshine Girl's two holy shields could clear the line of soldiers, and then take the initiative of the line of soldiers.

However, due to the fact that Jack's Q [Bounce Bomb] can clear the melee soldiers with low health in a timely manner from a distance, the momentum of the bottom lane soldiers is not enough, and it is impossible to push deep into the enemy turret in two short waves. It is necessary to wait for the turret line.

Now the turret line is here, but the position of Xiangsong and his duo has also come to the front of VG's next tower!

At this moment, it is very difficult to retreat safely!

As soon as they retreated to the central area of ​​the bottom lane, they saw Kindred coming from the triangular grass behind them and sandwiching the two of them!

"I'll sell, Lin Weixiang, you hurry up!" Liu Qingsong planned to stay behind.

Damei is both an ADC who needs more development and a victim with the sheep mark on his head. No matter from which angle you analyze it, Liu Qingsong thinks he should die instead of the shooter.

But VG ignored him at all, and his mind was full of Lin Weixiang!

Gu Xing used Wolf Frenzy, released his pet to bite Kai'Sa first, and then used E [Fear]!

The slowing effect kept Lin Weixiang, and he quickly used his healing spell to increase his movement speed to escape.

Duan Deliang didn't intend to let him go, and decisively used Q [Clear Channel] to control Kai'Sa!

"I'll block it!" Liu Qingsong signaled his teammates not to worry, and used Flash to move to the path that Titan's hook must pass, and at the same time used E [Zenith Blade] to aim at Gu Xing!

This was killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Qingsong wanted to help Lin Weixiang block the hook, and wanted to control Gu Xing to hinder the opponent's output efficiency.

However, Gu Xing reacted quickly, and immediately used Q [Dance of Arrows] to jump to the side, narrowly avoiding Zenith Blade, and then shot the crossbow arrow at Lin Weixiang!

Duan Deliang saw that he had hooked Leona, and without thinking, he used Flash to close the distance. Finally, he arrived next to Lin Weixiang and smashed down with a heavy anchor!

With Ignite on, and Kindred's detonation of fear-inducing damage, Kaisa's health has dropped below half!

Damei didn't dare to neglect it anymore, and quickly used Flash to retreat to the tower.

But Jack was even more insidious. Since he heard that Gu Xing was coming to catch him, he had kept the skill points in his hand after reaching level 2 and never used them.

Now he clicked W and flashed forward immediately.

W [Pinpoint Detonation]!

The bomb pushed Kaisa back, cutting off Lin Weixiang's retreat!

With Kindred's arrow accurately piercing Kaisa's heart, the health bar of the Void Daughter was emptied!

The first blood was born!
