Chapter 236 The Middle Lane Is Really the Boss

"Here comes Showmaker's 100% win rate, Syndra."

"But Faker still has a 100% win rate."

"Indeed, at this point, we can only trust Showmaker."

"Then, what will Faker play, Card?"

After Showmaker locked Syndra with one hand, Lee Sang-hyeok, TES showed Card in the third hand.

Want to use forehand and backhand?

Countless LCK fans swallowed their saliva.

I felt a little uneasy.

If you were really taught a lesson by your signature backhand in the first two games of the finals, it would be a bit, killing people and hurting their hearts.

However, in the last countdown, Card still switched to another hero, Clockwork.

In the first game, TES had found it difficult to pull out a gap in operation.

And from the perspective of hero attributes, TES still needs Lee Sang-hyeok to play more output.

Many LCK viewers saw that Lee Sang-hyeok gave up Card and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, the scene of killing people and hurting their hearts did not appear.

But Showmaker not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but his expression became more serious.

Compared to the psychological offensive of those so-called forehand and backhand public opinions.

As an opponent on the field, he would rather face Faker's Card.

No matter how powerful Card is, he is only powerful in team assistance.

In terms of laning and teamfighting, Card's role is actually not as good as Syndra.

Compared with TES's operation, DWG is more afraid of the terrifying upper limit shown by Lee Sang-hyuk as the real C position.

The upper limit of Card's operation is actually just that.

But Clockwork is different.

The upper limit of Clockwork is too high.

In particular, this is Faker's Clockwork.

Showmaker, who has studied many of Lee Sang-hyuk's laning, felt that the pressure was pulled to the limit when he saw this Clockwork.

The mid-lane matchup between Syndra and Clockwork is too classic. This matchup has been played since S2.

It has been played until now.

Almost every mid-lane player has experienced this matchup.

Years of experience have told him that this matchup is all about operation.

The lineups of both sides in the second game are locked.

DWG (blue side): Ornn, Lee Sin, Syndra, Jhin, Pantheon.

TES (red side): Jax, Centaur, Clockwork, EZ, Braum.

DWG also gave up Lillia when Canyon's jungle core hero pool was frequently targeted by the opponent.

Lillia seems to be in line with the characteristics of jungle core heroes.

Quick refresh and high damage.

In the public ranking, it can often produce explosive caryy effects.

But in the top professional arena, Lillia's effect is greatly reduced.

Her arms are too short and her legs are too many.

In the mid-term before the development is complete, it will be embarrassing to be forced to join the team.

With short arms and no displacement to save his life, he has little room to play in team battles.

In the ranking, he can also use the movement speed to pull the opponent.

In the stage of the global finals, in this high-intensity duel, Lillia seems to have too low tolerance for error.

Therefore, when Canyon couldn't get a good hero, it also gave up Lillia, and directly matched Syndra with Lee Sin to create a strong rhythm.

BeryL also brought out Pantheon, who is best at roaming, to speed up the lineup completely.

And let nugrui in the top lane do a pressure-resistant position.

And TES still won the last game, and the Centaur, who didn't seem to play very well.

Because there was Clockwork in the middle lane in this game, Clockwork could help him speed up, and Centaur could also bring the ball into the field.

After 369 was snatched Ornn by DWG in the top lane, he played Jax, who was very confident in his single-lane line.

In this game, although TES did not have a card, Centaur supported the sideline very quickly, and 369 still had a good single-lane space.

Both sides' lineups had their own merits and styles.

It was hard to say who would win or lose for a while.

It all depended on the players' operation.

And the focus of everyone was undoubtedly the double-ball battle in the middle lane.

Showmaker directly chose Aery with his talent, and Li Xianghe also abandoned the phase that Clockwork often brought in this version, which was Aery.

Aery vs. Aery.

The two sides have already had the idea of ​​a crazy fight.

"Oh, the exchange of blood in the middle lane is so passionate." Huni exclaimed.

"Ah, Showmaker's Syndra is still trustworthy, and should have taken the initiative."

"Ah! But Faker's health seems to be a little bit lower, but he has no gaps in experience and last hits."

In the current version, Syndra is suppressive against Clockwork in the early stage.

Often, many Clockworks face Syndra in the early stage, and their play style is to slow down the pace and develop slowly.

Wait for the late game to decide the outcome.

But Lee Sang Hyuk did not do so.

As soon as he came online, he started to exchange blood fiercely with Showmaker.

Various fake moves deceived each other.

It seems that there are eight hundred tricks in the middle lane.

Showmaker's Syndra is indeed worthy of his signature.

After a lot of pulling and exchanging blood, he took the advantage.

"Oh! Xu Xiuxiu is showing off!"

"Showmaker's Syndra is really respectable! There is really something in the laning phase."

In the picture, Showmaker once again moved a little and twisted Lee Sang Hyuk's Q skill.

And at the same time, he returned a Q to Lee Sang Hyuk.

This made Lee Sang Hyuk's health even worse.

Lee Sang Hyuk only had one-third of his health left, while Showmaker still had half of his health.

This made Guan Zeyuan, who always loved LCK, on ​​the LPL commentary platform, praise Showmaker.

Lee Sang Hyuk didn't retreat even though he was at a health disadvantage. Although his Q missed, his main purpose was to destroy the minions.

Showmaker was a little confused about Lee Sang Hyuk's behavior.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, why did this guy trade blood so much at level 1?

Is he too disrespectful of me, or is he really lacking in experience? No, he doesn't look like someone without this kind of experience.

Too confident, right?

Is he trying to grab level 2?

But we both reached level 2, and Clockwork didn't have a clear advantage over Syndra.

Hiss, something's wrong.

Showmaker suddenly had a bad feeling.

And the next second, he knew the answer.

Karsa, who was sprinting, drove E and got out from behind him.

Xu Xiu? No show-off!

Karsa kicked him directly on the forehead.

In fact, during the training match with DWG.

Karsa was always worried about the jungle planning and was a little bit worried about not being able to beat Canyon.

He always lost in the jungle battle.

But, two days ago, he saw the news that Mingkai publicly announced his idea of ​​coming back, and he suddenly realized.

What does Mingkai like to do most?

Grab the bottom lane at level 2.

Grabbing the bottom lane at level 2 is an absolutely extreme way of playing.

But it works.

Karsa suddenly realized.

I can't beat you in the jungle.

But why do I have to beat you in the jungle?

Mingkai ganked the bottom lane because Deft was very strong at that time, so let's switch.

I can just gank the middle lane!

"Ah!" Showmaker couldn't help but burst out with Korean swear words.

Generally, heroes who gank the middle lane at level 2 are heroes like Prince and Pig Girl who are not fast in the early stage of jungle clearing.

The reason is also very simple, it is started in the red zone because of the stone beetle mechanism and terrain problems.

This means that jungle clearing at red zone is slower than that at blue zone, especially for heroes like Prince and Pigwoman.

So since you can’t clear the jungle for the opponent anyway, you might as well use your ability to gank people at level 2.

Go and do something when the opponent is developing.

But Centaur has a fast jungle clearing speed, and its speed at level 4 is the best in the league.

Therefore, Centaur is mostly clearing the jungle, not to mention that it starts at blue zone, which has the advantage of clearing the jungle.

Level 2 Centaur starts at blue zone and sprints to gank mid.

If it didn’t happen in the professional arena, other junglers would only say two words: unbelievable.

Because this method is purely a self-explosion that sacrifices one’s advantage in clearing the jungle.

In the case of a T in the middle lane, even if you gank, you may not make a profit.

Showmaker thinks so too.

Therefore, he didn’t expect the current situation.

Especially when Karsa’s four groups of junglers ganked the middle against the norm in the last game, he was counter-ganked.

Most junglers will definitely have some concerns and will adopt a more conservative approach in the next game.

In the past, Karsa would probably do the same.

But now Karsa thought about it and felt otherwise.

The reason why I was caught by the anti-conventional was definitely because I was not anti-conventional enough.

The reason for this change in mentality.

The principle is that his ID in the middle lane gave him enough confidence.

Showmaker was kicked back by Karsa's Centaur.

At the same time as the EQ, AOE hit the minions.

The minions died, which allowed Lee Sang-hyuk to level up to level 2.

At this time, he realized that although Faker's Q just now seemed empty, in fact, the effect was all paving the way for this moment.

Lee Sang-hyuk was promoted to level 2.

The position of the ball blocked Showmaker's retreat position.

Even if Showmaker used flash, he could not launch the ball's attack range.

Lee Sang-hyuk only needed one W to slow him down and speed up the Centaur at the same time.

Helplessly, Showmaker could only give up resistance and even lost the desire to use flash.

Although Showmaker could not resist, he could not help but complain.

"Is it really profitable to self-destruct with me like this?"

If he could talk to Karsa face to face at this moment, he would definitely scold him.

Are you crazy? Pick a centaur instead of a jungler, and start a sprint at level 2 to gank a mid laner with TP. Is the mid laner your boss?

And Karsa will nod.

Why are you not convinced? My mid laner is Faker!

The facts soon proved it.

It doesn't matter if the jungler loses or not, as long as the mid laner makes money, it is really profitable.

First blood plus half a wave line.

But it's a 500 yuan lead.

In a random game, it may not be unacceptable.

But in Faker's hands, this 500 yuan is enough to completely reverse the ecology of the mid lane.

Showmaker, who was originally slightly ahead in the mid lane, fell into a disadvantage after this wave of ganks.

Both DWG and TES rely heavily on the rhythm of the mid and jungle.

If DWG wants to overthrow TES, Showmaker must not be silent.

Therefore, Canyon also wanted to help ease the situation, and even BeryL repeatedly moved to the middle lane.

But it was completely useless.

Why?

As long as Lee Sang-hyeok appeared in a slightly risky position, Karsa would be there three steps behind him.

In the original world.

There was once a team that reversed the jungle core version. In the jungle core version, when facing Peanut, who was known as the strongest jungle core player at the time.

He broke the game with one move.

The name of this move is only four words: the middle lane is the father.

Or to be more concrete, it can be said that Faker is the father.

Just like Peanut, who was disgusted by a veteran who chose Nidalee but went on a hunger strike to protect the middle lane.

At this moment, Canyon was also disgusted by this kind of play.

How can someone choose Centaur and not brush the jungle, and then go on a hunger strike to hang around in the middle lane?

Canyon almost wanted to scold Karsa.

You are a person without the heart of a jungle core!

And Karsa's answer was probably the same shameless sentence.

Why are you not convinced? I am Faker in the middle lane!

When Faker used a QRW to instantly tear apart DWG's formation,

Facts have also proved that although Karsa's play style seems to be "spineless", it is really effective.

"Wow, pizza, pizza, totally pizza! This Faker's Clockwork is so scary!"

"It is indeed meaningful for Karsa to keep playing in the middle lane like this. The effect of his advantage can completely cover the disadvantage of the jungler's hunger strike."

"Well, just like a loan investment, TES invested the jungler's situation in Faker, and Faker gave an unimaginable high return."

"It is mainly because Clockwork and Centaur have too much impact on the formation without displacement. Centaur development doesn't matter. He is just a tool to help Faker bring the ball into the field."

"Ah, what should we do, DWG! Is there another miracle?"

After the laning period, Li Xianghe and Karsa began to roam repeatedly.

Ghost and Showmaker, two double Cs without displacement, could not stop the "Martial Soul Fusion Skill" of TES's mid and jungle.

Soon, DWG was unable to support it.

The single-lane line was at a disadvantage, and the frontal team was destroyed by Lee Sang-hyuk's clockwork.

Although they resisted, DWG lost the game again under the shock waves.

TES scored two points, 2:0 DWG.

No one expected that DWG, which looked so strong, would be beaten 2:0 by the opponent in the finals.

Showmaker in the camera closed his eyes and meditated.

In addition to him, Canyon also slowly lay on the gaming chair, and he also entered the meditation environment rarely.

Only relying on showmaker, one person can't break through Faker.

Showmaker didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

Now Faker is the world's No. 1 mid laner.

But can DWG really only stop here?

"Can I rely on you?" Showmaker is a very proud person. Although he doesn't want to, he can only ask for help from his teammates at this moment.

Although this made him, who was once in high spirits in LCK, look extremely embarrassed.

But compared to being embarrassed, he was more unwilling to lose the game like this.

He was unwilling.

"Takeshiki, can I trust you?"

Canyon, who always looks extremely gentle, has a fierce look in his eyes.

"Sure, I will shock the arena."

Then came the decisive round of the third game.

TES still continued the BP thinking of the first two winning games, restricting the jungler's wild core hero pool.

Open picked Showmaker's strong hero and used Lee Sang-hyuk's strong personal strength to resist the pressure of BP.

Showmaker in DWG's camera chose to believe in himself again.

Although Tsandr and Syndra, two signature heroes with a 100% win rate in this world championship, were broken by TES.

But he still locked in Syndra again.

It has come to this point, he can only believe in what he is best at.

Even if he is really shut out, there will be no regrets.

And what really made the whole audience boil and cheer was the hero that Canyon locked in.

This is the first time to use it in this world championship.

The same wild core hero.

But it is more extreme than Lillia.

Shadow Scythe.

Kayn.

"Wow! Really locked! Kayn!"

"Crazy!"

"Canyon is in a desperate situation, and he took out the hero that debuted in this S game!"

Canyon is burning his last blood!

He heard his teammates calling him.

And he decided, just like what Kayn said.

Tonight, I am the chosen one, and the only one!

He Canyon, should have wanted to be the protagonist of the game.

And Li Xianghe in the camera smiled slightly.

This is indeed, it is really interesting.

. . . .

PS: I rushed too much, and I wrote too slowly recently. I will write more later, the speed is a bit too slow, you should be able to see it when you wake up tomorrow.
