Chapter 490: KT's Double Roaming System at the First Stop
Mata said, "The absolute core of TES now is the mid and top. As long as we can successfully target the mid and top, we have a great chance of winning."
Ucal, the mid laner, asked back, "Their bottom lane has also made great progress. Are you okay?"
Mata seemed very confident, "Of course there is no problem. Their bottom lane is just following the mid and top, and they don't show a particularly strong carry ability."
Mata looked at Deft on the side.
Deft also expressed his opinion, "Our bottom lane is fine. I am confident."
In this way, the topic returned to the middle.
Ucal had to say, "Faker doesn't pay much attention to laning now. With Pawn's guidance, I don't think I lose in laning at all."
Ucal looked up at Pawn in the corner. At this time, Pawn was looking at his phone, very calm.
This time in the S game, KT brought Pawn instead of other substitutes to defend against TES, or more precisely, to defend against Faker.
As old rivals, Pawn and Faker are very familiar with each other.
Mata continued, "If the middle lane is fine, then there is still the top lane left. What about the top lane?"
Everyone turned back to look at Smeb. Smeb and Chen Yiqiu have fought more than once or twice, and the two are familiar with each other.
Based on the experience of previous fights, it is likely that he will suffer a loss. The key is how big this loophole will be.
Smeb organized his words a little and said, "I have thought of a set of tactics. Maybe we can try it out today. No one can be sure that it will work."
At the game site, in the commentary booth, Jide, Wang Duoduo, and Guan Zeyuan were ready.
Guan Zeyuan commented:
"Hello, audience friends, we will be in the exciting quarterfinals, the two teams are TES, the No. 1 seed from the LPL, and KT, the No. 1 seed from the LCK."
"These are the two strongest seeded teams in the two divisions. Although KT had some bumps in the group stage, and won one and lost two in the game against IG, ranking second, their strength is obvious to all."
Wang Duoduo agreed: "Yes, it is not easy to participate in the S game as the No. 1 seed. After passing this level, the road ahead may be smooth."
"As an LPL commentator, I naturally support TES more, but I also hope that KT can have a good performance and leave no regrets."
At the game site, the players of both sides appeared!
The first to appear was TES! The five TES players came to the field, and the audience cheered together:
"Top! Top! Top!"
"Qiu Shen, I want to give birth to your baby!"
"Big Devil, hold the trophy again."
"Little Peanut, you look so handsome today."
Little Peanut suddenly smiled. He heard the words of the female fans in the front row, and felt happy.
The five TES players stood in a row in the middle of the stage, accepting the cheers and cheers from the audience.
Then, the five starting players of KT appeared!
There were also many KT fans at the scene!
"KT! KT! KT!"
The KT players walked to the opposite side of the TES players, and they also stood in a row. Chen Yiqiu faced Smeb.
Smeb's eyes were a little evasive, and it seemed that he was under a lot of pressure.
The two sides shook hands and ran to their respective positions.
Sitting on the chair, Chen Yiqiu put on headphones, entered the game interface, built a room, and pulled people in.
After all ten players on both sides were ready, Chen Yiqiu called out:
"Can you hear me? I'm ready to start."
"Yes!"
"No problem."
"Start it."
"The brave are invincible!"
So Chen Yiqiu chose to start the game and entered the first BP stage!
This time, TES was on the red side, and KT was on the blue side.
During the ban phase, KT targeted the top lane, banning Aatrox, Irelia, and Shen.
And TES targeted the bottom lane, banning Xayah, Lucian, and Varus.
Seeing this scene, Guan Zeyuan explained: "In this game, Urgot and Draven are both outside. Urgot is now the top lane T0. Generally speaking, if the blue side can grab it, they will definitely grab it."
"But before, Qiu Shen used top lane Draven to beat Urgot, so many other teams are learning his style of play. Although they didn't learn it well, Qiu Shen himself will definitely have no problem using it. Does KT dare to take Urgot?"
Entering the hero selection phase, KT on the blue side got the barrel on the first floor.
TES locked Lissandra and Nightmare on the first and second floors.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "If I remember correctly, Qiu Shen used Nightmare to play in the top lane before, so this Nightmare is not necessarily a jungler. When commenting on TES's games, it is sometimes easy to be fooled and make mistakes."
"It's mainly because TES's hero pool in the middle and top is too deep, and there are many overlapping parts that can be used to swing."
Then KT got Kaisa and Luo on the second and third floors.
BP continued, TES locked Lucian and Thresh on the third and fourth floors.
Wang Duoduo commented: "It seems that the counter position on the fifth floor is given to the top lane. I am looking forward to what Qiu Shen will use to deal with KT."
"KT got Poppy and Syndra on the fourth and fifth floors. Is Poppy in the top lane? It feels okay. This hero can withstand pressure. Sure enough, I still dare not choose Urgot, worried that he will be beaten."
At this time, Chen Yiqiu's top lane was still undecided. The director gave the camera to Chen Yiqiu, and the eyes of the world were focused on him.
However, just when everyone was expecting a top-lane hero, suddenly, TES locked on Leblanc on the fifth floor.
This was something everyone didn't expect. Wang Duoduo commented: "Leblanc? Top-lane? No way? Leblanc top-lane is too outrageous. It shouldn't be. Lissandra top-lane seems more reliable."
Guan Zeyuan continued: "I think neither top-lane is a good choice. Of course, this is my personal opinion. Maybe they have their own routines and ideas, which I don't know."
After all ten heroes were confirmed, they still had to wait for TES to adjust the lineup. Soon, Lissandra was replaced by Chen Yiqiu in the top lane.
Leblanc is in the hands of Lee Sang-hyuk in the middle lane. Time passes by minute by minute. In the last twenty seconds, the lineup cannot be changed and is determined:
Red side TES: top lane Lissandra, jungle Nightmare, mid lane Leblanc, ADC Lucian, support Thresh
Blue side KT: top lane Poppy, jungle Gragas, mid lane Syndra, ADC Kaisa, support Rakan
Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "It is indeed Lissandra top lane, which is not common. The laning target is Poppy. Long arms against short arms, it feels okay, but it should not be very easy to play, because Lissandra's skills are not stable, the damage is not high, and it is mainly for control."
Wang Duoduo agreed: "That's right, now it depends on how Qiu Shen wants to play. I personally feel that it should not be for laning. If it is just for laning, there are many heroes that are better than Lissandra."
Entering the game screen, Chen Yiqiu chose Doran's Ring and went straight to the top lane.
Peanut started to set the pace: "I have to wait until level 6 to start this game. You guys develop on your own and wait for me to come out." Chen Yiqiu teased: "When will I wait for you to come out? Level 16?"
Peanut smiled: "Of course it's level 6, Brother Yiqiu, I'm not playing a swordmaster, so I don't need to farm for so long."
Chen Yiqiu came to the top lane, and the first wave of soldiers came.
The opposite Poppy also came out from under the defense tower and started to fight Chen Yiqiu.
This Smeb's Poppy is very proactive, and wants to come up and use passive to consume at level 1.
But Chen Yiqiu didn't kill him at this distance, and he couldn't use his passive.
The melee soldiers were low on health, and Chen Yiqiu's Lissandra used a Q skill to take down three melee soldiers. Poppy threw out her shield first and then picked it up, and gave herself a passive shield, so that Lissandra's consumption was meaningless.
I remember the commentator said: "This Poppy is very smart. She can also use her passive shield to withstand consumption. So far, the development in the top lane is relatively stable."
The second wave of soldiers arrived. Chen Yiqiu kept pushing the soldiers as before, trying to use the soldiers to put pressure.
Smeb was cautious and moved around in various ways to avoid being consumed.
Chen Yiqiu did not save his skills to find Poppy, but chose to push the soldiers as the main choice.
In the middle lane, Li Xianghe's Leblanc faced Ucal's Syndra. The two heroes were about the same in strength, and now the mid laners on both sides were evenly matched.
However, in terms of specific play, Li Xianghe's Leblanc was more active and unrestrained, and was always looking for angles to exchange blood with Syndra.
In the bottom lane, Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong were now in an advantage. After all, they got a hero like Lucian, so they couldn't just stand back and wait. They must play an advantage online.
Three and a half minutes into the game, Chen Yiqiu pushed a large wave of soldiers to the defense tower, and Poppy was resisting the pressure at the defense tower.
"Lissandra is gone." He chose to remind his teammates to stay alive first, and he had to develop first.
So in the jungle, Gragas placed a ward across the wall to avoid being ambushed while he was farming.
As for Syndra in the middle lane, Ucal felt that he was quite safe. He was a Syndra, and he had Flash and E skill to retreat. This position was very close to the defensive tower. At least wait until Lissandra is level 6.
At this moment, Leblanc suddenly walked towards Syndra's face.
This was met with criticism, and Ucal quickly retreated. Leblanc used a Q skill, and E skill hit Syndra.
Syndra counterattacked with a Q skill and followed by E to retreat.
Unfortunately, Li Xianghe's Leblanc moved sideways and easily dodged it!
This was not over yet. Lissandra's ice claw flew over from the river, and Syndra was forced to give up Flash.
Chen Yiqiu didn't go up, there was no need, Syndra had already entered the defensive tower, and he wanted to cross the tower, which was very risky.
"The opponent's mid laner didn't flash." Li Xianghe provided information to his teammates.
On the commentary stand, Wang Duoduo explained: "This time, Syndra was forced to give up her flash, so she will be in danger later. What if Lissandra comes again?"
Guan Zeyuan continued: "Lissandra returned to the top lane to continue to develop. Smeb came up to increase strength. Do you want to use the E skill to get close? Lissandra started to pull and use the Q skill to consume."
"Poppy's E skill can't be used. The distance is too far!"
Smeb was pulled by Chen Yiqiu and felt very uncomfortable. He actually wanted to use his blood volume to exchange for Chen Yiqiu's blood volume and mana, so that Chen Yiqiu would have difficulty roaming.
But now it seems that it is not that simple.
The game time came to five minutes. Chen Yiqiu's Lissandra pushed the line back to the city for supplies, and then returned to the line to continue developing.
At this time, the opposite barrel appeared!
At this time, Chen Yiqiu's Lissandra was pushing the line of troops forward. This position was relatively deep. The opposite Gragas came over from the river and cut off Chen Yiqiu's retreat.
Wang Duoduo explained: "It's over. This wave of Lissandra pushed the line too aggressively. He definitely can't get away from this position. It feels better to give the skill to the line, and eat as many as possible."
Chen Yiqiu's Lissandra gave up the E skill, and seemed to want to run directly, but he retreated and walked under the opposite defense tower. At the same time, he had used the E skill to control Poppy.
So the barrel was suddenly confused. Should he chase Lissandra's E skill or find the main body?
The control effect on Poppy disappeared, and he chose to turn on the W skill to speed up and push over with an E skill.
At this moment, Chen Yiqiu's Lissandra gave up the second stage of the E skill and changed position!
Poppy missed, and Chen Yiqiu came to the face of the barrel. The barrel used the Q skill to slow down and followed up with the E skill meat bomb.
However, there was no follow-up. Poppy was too far away and couldn't get through.
So Score had to give up and treat it as a beating of Lissandra to create a little advantage for Poppy.
Guan Zeyuan commented: "Very nice escape, he acted it out like the real thing, making the opponent think he was going to pass under the defensive tower, and Poppy was fooled."
Wang Duoduo agreed: "Yes, this is a manifestation of playing games with the brain, and on the other hand, because Gragas appeared in the top lane, Nightmare could go to Gragas's bottom jungle to counter-jungle, and this is the price."
In the top lane, Chen Yiqiu resumed normal laning and successfully reached level 6.
Xiaohuasheng also reminded: "I'm level 6 too, I can do something, brother Yiqiu, do it?"
Chen Yiqiu replied: "If you have an idea, try it, I will look for an opportunity to TP support."
So, Xiaohuasheng's Nightmare came to the bottom lane.
The bottom lane is the advantage of the TES duo, who have been pushing the line.
Xiaohuasheng walked behind the defensive tower and placed a ward, and Chen Yiqiu's Lissandra TPed to the ward position.
The KT bottom lane duo had not yet realized the danger, and the moment Lissandra's TP landed, Nightmare activated her ultimate move.
"The curtain is lifted!"
Guan Zeyuan explained: "Here it comes! TES four-on-two bottom lane, but this time it's the top laner coming instead of the jungler. Nightmare often goes to find Kaisa. Lissandra enters the field with her E skill and uses her ultimate on Kaisa, making her completely unable to move!"
"Kassa was killed instantly, and Luo couldn't stand it either. Although he gave up his flash, he was chased by Lucian and got the kill!"
Wang Duoduo explained: "It was a very sudden wave of accelerated rhythm. They were still developing peacefully in the front, but suddenly they started fighting. KT's bottom lane was a bit miserable. They had no disadvantages in the laning phase, but suddenly they were crossed by the tower."
"Moreover, after Nightmare used his ultimate, it was impossible for KT's mid and top laners to support the bottom lane, and they could only let the bottom lane fend for themselves."
Miller took over the topic: "The TP eye position that Nightmare put for Lissandra was very particular. It was placed close to the wall to avoid being seen by the opponent. There was no preparation at all. When Nightmare used his ultimate, everything was too late."
Chen Yiqiu went back to the city to replenish supplies, and then you went to the top lane to continue laning.
Smeb felt even more anxious. As soon as they met, he activated his W skill to speed up and rushed forward, followed by his E and Q skills.
Chen Yiqiu fought and retreated at the same time, stepping on Poppy's passive to prevent him from picking it up.
After Poppy's big set was used, all that was left was to be beaten. (End of this chapter)
