Chapter 225 Chovy Him, Can't Help It
"Let me tell you a little-known fact. Deft and Faker were both born in 1996. They are the same age."
After humiliating Kid, Xika returned the topic to the game.
"It doesn't feel cold. I watched the video of them changing uniforms before. Deft is a few months younger than Faker."
Kid retorted.
"But the feeling they give is different. Deft feels like he has passed his peak and is not as good as before. But Faker has just debuted, so it is not clear whether he is in his peak. Anyway, no one can touch him in the middle lane now."
"Indeed, the main thing is that the feeling they give is different. How can I say Deft? That idiom? He is old and it feels like it would be difficult for him to be able to move forward. Faker is the same age, but he feels like he can move forward easily."
Xika looked at Kid who refuted him, responded first, and then started to fight back.
"Then here's another little-known fact: Ge Yan is actually one year younger than Faker and Deft."
"."
Kid seemed to have been kicked in the face by a real injury, and instantly lost his words.
[Really hurt. ]
[The 1996-born players are still competing in the quarterfinals of the World Championship, while the 1997-born players were shamefully beaten off the air in a ranking match. ]
"I didn't say anything about you." Kid was worried, but he couldn't argue with Xika, so he could only make a sound of grievance.
Whenever he talked about operations, Xika and Sun Yalong liked to use age as an excuse.
Sometimes Kid made mistakes, and he would follow suit and say that if he was young, he would do this and that.
But now, watching the old guys who are one year older than him still fighting on the field, he has retired for two years, and was also ridiculed by the whole network because he was abused by the old guys in the ranking match.
The term age really can't stop the arrows now.
"It doesn't make sense, why can they still play at such an old age?"
Kid scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
"It's okay, you should be more open-minded. You couldn't beat them when you were young, so it doesn't matter."
"."
"Oh, what did Chovy choose to play against Faker's Card? Clockwork. Chovy was going to use Faker's signature to fight Faker."
After Xika finished the last-hit, he quickly moved the topic to the game.
One-hit breakaway.
"Does Card waste Faker's cardy ability? I feel that Faker is stronger, and it should be a unique operation. I feel that playing those crazy operations is the best, and Card's operation limit is a bit low."
Kid didn't pursue it anymore. After all, it was not decent for him to talk about this topic any more, so he talked about the game.
"I feel that if he plays a tool like Card, Chovy's operation is good, and I don't think he can necessarily crush Chovy." Kid said, "Last year, I felt that Rooike couldn't suppress him in the laning phase."
Kid's standard for evaluating mid-lane players is relatively clear.
Those who can't be crushed by Rooike are masters.
Chovy is obviously among the masters recognized by Kid.
As for Faker, let's not talk about him.
Even Rooike was sweating profusely when facing him.
This made Kid sigh in his heart, [He is so awesome, is he a human? ]
"Oh, this lineup feels better for DRX. I feel that the biggest advantage of TES is the carrying ability of the two Cs. Why do they need Tsunda and Senna!" Kid said, "I want to question, who is the C."
"Well, to be honest, TES's BP seems to be dominated by Faker now." Xika played a recreational game with Lee Sang-hyuk before, so he knew some inside information.
"Oh, that's okay, maybe Faker wants to play." Kid changed his mouth immediately.
"But it's true, in the next two bans, DRX will definitely ban Qinggangying and ban Graves, and I feel that the lineup is not very good." Xika also felt that TES's selection was not good. Most importantly, he also felt that Lee Sang-hyuk should play the C position of Azar and Lucian.
"Neptune! Nidalee!"
Xika suddenly shouted excitedly.
"This is the episode that Kid is most afraid of. I didn't really want to mention it, TES chose Nidalee themselves."
In Kid's continued silence, the director's camera was given to Deft.
After several years, he returned to the S game again, and also returned to Shanghai again.
Except for the first time participating in the semi-finals of the S game, every time Deft's world championship journey ended in the quarter-finals.
And the one who eliminated him last time was Jackeylove.
No one was optimistic about them in the rematch.
But he knew that he couldn't shrink back.
So, Deft showed a firm look.
After this choice, the whole audience exclaimed, and Jackeylove was already laughing.
"Fuck, Deft's Draven!"
"It doesn't make sense to play Draven in front of Jackeylove."
"Maybe he just feels that he can fight against Senna! And in this lineup of TES, Draven does have room to play, they are all very fragile, with only Tam in the front row."
Blue side (TES): Jayce, Nidalee, Card, Senna, Tam.
Red side (DRX): Malphite, Lee Sin, Clockwork, Draven, Thresh.
After deft selected the lineup in the camera, he closed his eyes and rested his mind briefly before officially entering the game.
Obviously, he is also very aware of the pressure he faces with this choice.
However, he still chose to face his original demons head-on.
Both parties officially enter the game.
At the first level, DRX chooses to group into the lower half and press forward.
Obviously, they have done enough research on today's game.
They want to forcefully counter karsa's lower half and force the opponent to switch jungle areas.
Due to Draven's strength and the threat of Thresh's hook.
There is a high probability that TES will give up defending the lower half and replace the jungle area.
Of course, the price is that Doran's life will definitely be difficult.
However, Tetsuo had no initiative in fighting Jayce, so DRX decided to focus the game on targeting the bottom lane.
Once Draven's withdrawal takes off, in the mid-term for a lineup like TES that does not have a big front row, the threat will be full.
Especially this deft still chose the talent of Cluster Blade, and I also understood that it was going to be armor-piercing.
It really takes off. No matter who you see in the mid-term, if you hit it with three swords, you will either die or be disabled.
"They will definitely change, so be careful." Lee Sang Hyuk had already anticipated their movements.
We’ve already chosen this lineup, so who else can we help if we don’t help?
Although Lee Sang Hyuk now has full respect for the players.
However, Doran, the top laner that LPL relies heavily on, must take the lead.
It's somewhat unrealistic.
"Change it, change it for him." Jackeylove pretended to be indifferent. "What can I do if I change it?"
Jackeylove is obviously quite confident in his Senna.
Moreover, when something happens to him, he believes that Brother Li will always appear in time like a superhero and take care of him.
"Then I really won't come later." Lee Sang Hyuk smiled, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
"No, Brother Li, mine, mine, come when you should." Jackeylove quickly said that what he did just now was just for fun.
No matter how powerful I am, it's not like Draven A won't feel pain.
What's more, there's a blind monk on the opposite side.
As the military line officially arrived at the center line, the chat in TES's voice also ended.
They all concentrated their attention and switched to competition mode.
Chovy also started playing games with Lee Sang Hyuk with excited eyes.
Although on the surface, the focus of this game seems to be Delevingne, who shows up unconventionally in the bottom lane, or Jayce, who has long hands and short hands in the top lane.
But the most important battle is in the middle.
DRX's top lane and bottom lane are both formulas to withstand pressure.
But the showdown in the middle is full of uncertainty.
Whoever can take advantage in the middle will have the right to move first.
Both chovy and faker know this truth, so they are very focused on playing the game at this moment.
Lee Sang Hyuk learned E at Level 1 because he wanted to push the line.
Chovy also probably guessed this, so he positioned himself very forward.
The card that learns E will definitely not be replaced by Clockwork at the first level, because Clockwork is not a fool and will not give the card the chance to A all the time.
Therefore, he boldly pressed forward before the troops gathered together.
The purpose, in addition to changing Lee Sang Hyuk's blood volume, is more importantly the card position.
It is true that cards push lanes quickly, but it does not mean that you can push lanes without thinking just by relying on an E skill in the early stage.
He watched a lot of Lee Sang Hyuk's videos and knew he had some tricks up his sleeve.
Just before the first wave of soldiers gather in the middle, press forward to remove the three long-range soldiers in the back row of A to draw a wave of hatred, and then move the position left and right to disperse the soldiers.
And by letting the opponent's creeps walk a few more steps, they will suffer a few more attacks from your own long-range creeps.
The advantage of the card in pushing the lane in the early stage is mainly the attack speed bonus brought by E and the flat A to push the lane. Therefore, the position of the minions does not have a great impact on the card.
The advantage of Clockwork's push line is established by using the AOE of skills.
Especially the Q skill, under normal soldier lines, can easily hit six minions.
And stretching the skirmisher line in this way can reduce the efficiency of clockwork AOE troop clearing.
It's hard to find an angle to hit all the minions at the same time with one Q.
Although the effect may sound minimal, the advantages among masters are accumulated little by little.
Now chovy is preparing for such a situation.
He wanted to block Lee Sang Hyuk's position and prevent him from performing this little trick.
He needs to be on the line of soldiers, and when they line up in a row, he needs to find an angle, try to suppress the blood volume and hit as many minions as possible.
Maximize efficiency.
Just like a faker's one drop of blue can play out the effect of two drops of other people's blue, top mage players always play greedily.
chovy is also quite confident to play like this, because since his debut, he has been recognized as a genius in the LCK.
Lee Sang Hyuk's behavior was everything Chovy expected.
Lee Sang Hyuk and the soldiers are online together.
After chovy took two feint steps to the left and right, he found a good angle and decisively launched Q.
Lee Sang Hyuk twisted it sideways.
He had known Chovy would do this for a long time, and twisting the winding Q was a common occurrence when he was warned.
chovy couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Lee Sang Hyuk really didn't hit well.
But his goal has been achieved.
His Q hit the first wave of six minions as expected, and because Lee Sang-hyeok had to dodge that Q, he did not have a small space to pull the line.
Chovy felt that he had won.
Although there was no difference in last-hitting and no blood volume advantage.
But when Twisted Fate and Clockwork pressed on the line at the same time, he had already won.
Although the lineup selected on the field looked sharp and fierce.
But in fact, the first few minutes were very quiet.
With Tam, DRX did not act rashly, even though their AD was Draven.
The understanding of Draven in LCK and Draven in LPL is actually different.
The Draven in the LPL is a hero who is very fierce in the early stage, and there is an extra bounty for killing people, and he can quickly snowball.
Therefore, Draven in LPL always fights fiercely in the early stage.
The understanding of Draven in LCK is a bit strange. Their attitude towards Draven is to regard him as a development hero.
Every time Draven takes a knife or an axe, he develops a little more than the opponent.
He can get ahead in economy without madly cutting people.
If he survives until the mid-game and finds an opportunity to take out the bounty, he can get ahead of the opponent by a large margin, and then gain equipment advantage in the mid-game.
In this way, Draven has been made into an alternative development hero by them.
It is hard to say which of the two Draven understandings is better, but now this difference in understanding has made DRX not rush to cross the tower at level 2 or 3.
Instead, it keeps putting pressure on and creates a last-hitting advantage.
The situation is unexpectedly calm.
"Wow, Chovy feels really good in the laning phase." Xika looked at the laning situation in the middle lane and couldn't help praising Chovy.
You know, being able to line up with Faker is just not losing out, and few people can do it in today's S10.
Lee Sang-hyuk is not in a hurry.
If it were normal, Lee Sang-hyuk would not get a stable line right, and he would definitely increase the intensity of the confrontation and force the line.
But now, he is quite calm.
Why?
Because Chovy standing in front of him is still in his infancy.
Before 2022, Chovy had never beaten Faker.
The reason is that in Lee Sang Hyuk's eyes, he is still just a kid who can only fight in the lane.
And Lee Sang Hyuk knows Chovy too well.
Five minutes into the game, the two sides still did not have the fierce confrontation that the audience had expected.
Both junglers made some attempts, but in the end, they did not really fight.
Karsa is a leopard woman, so it is not a loss to brush the jungle first, and GEN has a late-stage core. You and Card have a rhythm lineup and brush with me, of course, I can accept it.
Of course, the audience shouted Shakespeare, feeling boring.
"It's okay, I feel that if the two sides fight, I will probably have to wait for Card's first big move."
"In the first game, it's okay to be steady. Chovy handled the laning too well, and Card's line power has always been unclear."
Xika responded to the barrage of comments that the game was too sleep-inducing.
"But the bottom lane seems a little wrong."
Kid looked at the bottom lane. Having played AD, support and jungle part-time, he immediately realized that TES's bottom lane was a little difficult to deal with.
This wave of Jackylove was very uncomfortable.
Because of the opponent's bottom lane pressure and the hero's attribute problem.
DRX stockpiled a large wave of lines into the tower, although he did not come directly.
But he had a chance to push the opponent's line into the tower and then go home to replenish supplies.
There are two choices for Jackeylove and Zhuo.
Either admit defeat and go home to replenish supplies after eating the knife under the tower.
Then the line will definitely be stuck later, and a lot of development will be lost.
Or take risks and force the line into the opponent's tower under the possibility of being interfered and harassed by Lee Sin.
If they are stuck by Lee Sin, they will lose more.
They have to face Draven who has already replenished a wave of equipment without going home to replenish supplies.
Jackeylove on the field chose to take risks.
"Damn it, damn it, Kago went straight to the bottom after returning to the city, Wu cried to death." Xika said.
"It's useless, this 3v3 is definitely unbeatable, the opponent's bottom lane has replenished the equipment, and Jackeylove is still there. This wave, both sides gave the T to each other in the middle lane, and there was no middle lane in this wave."
Kid cried out that it was not good.
Although kid's attitude towards Lee Sang-hyuk who abused him was a bit difficult to say.
But since the big daddy Rookie and the second daddy TheShy did not come to the world game, he must support Jackeylove.
He felt that Jackeylove was going to suffer a lot in this wave.
In the first round of the group stage, Jackeylove was in a bad state and made a mistake in crossing the tower. Later, he was killed by Rekkles.
Although they all won, there were actually vague doubts from the outside world.
It would be bad if the old man Deft used Jackeylove's signature Draven to chop him in this game.
If it even broke TES's unbeaten record, it would be really finished.
DRX saw that the opponent was not going to suffer this loss, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Changxian, we have to fight this wave." Deft said.
"OK, here we come." Pyosik responded.
"As my brother said, Jackeylove is a risk-taker." Keria said.
"It's likely to be a 3v3, and Nidalee might be there." Deft added, "Focus on your operations, kids."
Obviously, Jackeylove's risky behavior of forcing the line was completely within their expectations.
The game has been going on as they expected.
This is also the reason why DRX didn't rush in the first few minutes.
"There's no tank in the middle lane, he can't reach level 6, I'll take care of it." Chovy added in a low voice.
They have already exchanged TP, and the line of soldiers is advantageous even though Card has an advantage at this point in time.
But Chovy said that he would limit Faker.
The consciousness indicated that the bottom lane could take action.
The two people who wanted to push the line in the bottom lane were entangled by the blind monk.
Jackeylove didn't push, and chose to open A directly against the blind monk.
The situation that DRX wanted to see appeared.
Keria went online, hooked the minions and threw the lantern back.
At the moment when deft lit the lantern, he pressed the second stage of Q, then flashed forward and E swung back to Jackeylove who was pulling Pyosik.
At the same time, he sent deft's Draven to the opponent's face.
"Wow! What a handsome Thresh!"
"This Keria is something."
"But he can't carry you"
"Damn, stop arguing, it's time to watch the operation!" Kid cursed angrily. "A Shui is going to die!"
With an extra long sword and a pair of straw sandals, Draven triggered the Blade and slashed at Jackeylove.
It seemed that he wanted to immediately avenge Jackeylove's forward flash.
And Zhuo's thinking was also very calm.
He immediately swallowed Jackeylove with W and tried to avoid the first wave of concentrated fire.
Karsa's Nidalee also showed up.
The two sides were in a close fight.
But Jackeylove still looked precarious after coming out of Tam's stomach.
Pyosik touched the eye and used E to force Jackeylove to heal and flash.
But Pyosik predicted Jackeylove's flash position with a Q.
The sound wave hit accurately.
"It's over, it was predicted!" Kid shouted. "Pyoisk has no energy at the first time, can you interrupt with skills!"
"Use this skill to interrupt."
After a short pause, Lee Sin was about to kick Jackeylove with the second stage of Q.
Suddenly, a figure holding a golden card flashed out.
Flashing a card, Pyosik was about to take off.
"Fuck, Faker! Why is he here!"
"Sprint! Sprint! He opened the secret book and changed a sprint, and then he ran down directly with a sprint! Flash a yellow card!" Kid shouted excitedly, "Then this wave is four against three, the opponent's Lee Sin gave it up! He has no skills."
Lee Sin fell to the ground.
The addition of the card reversed the situation!
After a tug of war, it was DRX that retreated.
But the card with sprint came up to chase A, and Zhuo also worked hard, and the second Q hit the Thresh without flash.
In the end, Keria fell to the ground.
Seeing this, deft had no choice but to flash and kill Jackeylove and force the bounty.
But he had nowhere to escape.
One for three!
"Faker! The savior of TES!" Kid changed his previous attitude of not wanting to mention Faker and praised loudly.
"It's really the key, mainly because DRX shouldn't have expected that he would sprint and come down at level 5, and he also clicked on water walking."
"Hey, what is chovy doing?"
While the bottom lane was fighting fiercely, the camera cut to the middle lane at this moment, and chovy was sending the line of soldiers into Lee Sang-hyuk's tower, successfully leading Faker by 10 swords.
"Well, I guess I didn't expect Faker to run down directly after losing the lane."
"But to be honest, the bottom lane battle lasted for a long time. After Faker came, he fought for a long time. If he also went down directly when Faker left, it would be hard to say." Xika analyzed, "He has a flash feeling that can be operated."
"Well, I don't know. Anyway, Faker lost the lane to help his teammates, which is a bit great, okay."
At this moment, TES voice.
"Nice!" Li Xianghe's face was full of smiles.
In addition to getting the advantage, it was also because everything was as he expected.
Just like the reason why Deft was not in a hurry was that he knew Jackeylove would definitely take risks in this wave.
The reason why he didn't have to fight with Chovy in the line was because he knew that the young Chovy would not be able to move when he saw that wave of soldiers.
Chovy, he couldn't help it.
Li Xianghe understood this too well.
