Chapter 406: Battle for First Place in the Group

Next is the game between SKT and C9, and the game between IG and AHQ.

SKT and IG continue their winning streaks.

IG has won five games in a row, while SKT has won four games in a row.

IG's record is 5-0 and SKT's record is 4-1.

The last game without death, IG vs. SKT!

If SKT can win IG, the two teams will have the same record, and each will have its own victory or defeat. They will enter the playoffs to determine who is first in the group.

At this time, in the SKT lounge, everyone in SKT was waiting for news.

News about IG substitution!

They can only discuss it after hearing the news, otherwise it will be meaningless.

At this moment, Wolf suddenly said: "Will they suddenly stop substituting l? I saw some people on the Internet speculating that IG has been on the bench because the starting jungler has a problem and cannot play now."

Faker was more rational and said: "We can't pin our hopes of victory on this kind of thing. This is the approach of the weak."

At this moment, a staff member appeared at the door and greeted:

"IG made a substitution and replaced the starting jungler Yuanshen in the jungle position."

Coming!

Everyone in SKT suddenly became more awake.

There was a little bit of luck just now, but now it's all gone.

I saw Kkoma saying: "This game is very important for us. If we can win and enter the playoffs and we win again, we will be first in the group. The quarterfinals will be much easier. If we can't win, we will be second in the group." It’s possible to encounter Dragon Balls.”

Although Longzhu has not yet played, anyone with a discerning eye can see that even the other three teams in Longzhu's group cannot see the high ground of Longzhu, let alone win the game.

Therefore, Longzhu must be the first in the group, and the team that appears second in the group may encounter it.

For SKT, encountering Longzhu is the worst-case scenario. Firstly, this is a civil war, consuming a strong LCK team for no reason. Secondly, Longzhu has been beating SKT in the summer split. We know them well and SKT wants to win against Longzhu very much. Difficult, they would rather meet the top teams from other regions.

Kkoma looked at CUZZ: "Should the jungle part be ready? This time we have to make sure nothing goes wrong."

CUZZ nodded heavily: "No problem, I know how to do it."

Kkoma continued: "Online, everyone should perform well, try to cooperate with the jungle, provide support to the jungle, and finally, calm down and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

In the IG lounge, Yuan Shen is looking at his mobile phone.

Now there is an inexplicable rhythm on the Internet.

# yuanshen has the ability, I think IG can win?

#元神 has let us play so many games, I won’t watch them anymore.

#元神s sin is so heinous. I just came to see him, but he didn’t play.

#I didn’t watch the game between IG and SKT on the first day, but I watched all the games afterwards, and it turned out to be King Ning every time.

It seems that the fans have become emotional and started making various threats.

It's understandable, after all, people's patience has its limits, and it also shows that fans are very loyal to him.

Of course, these are definitely angry words. As long as they know that Yuan Shen is playing, they will come back to watch the game without hesitation.

Suddenly, Fumanduo's voice came:

"It's almost time, it's time for us to play."

Everyone stood up one after another.

Fumando continued: "I hope this is the last group match and everyone will be in their best condition. In order to compete for the first place in the group, SKT will definitely use all their strength. We cannot take it lightly."

Everyone nodded.

King Ning suddenly said: "Yuan Shen, I am cheering for you below. I have one-third of the credit for winning SKT."

Yuan Shen smiled: "One third is not enough, at least half."

At the game site, in the LPL broadcast booth, three commentators were ready.

I saw the baby's commentator: "The upcoming game is the last game of today's group stage. Of course, there may be extra games, so this is only the last game in theory."

Miller continued: "Yes, IG and SKT are both very good judging from the previous state of the two teams. SKT has won four consecutive games and lost to IG in the opening game, while IG has won five consecutive games and has not lost yet. ”

Rita suddenly said: "I received the news from the front, IG has changed people! In the jungle position, King Ning has been replaced by Yuan Shen!"

In the official live broadcast room, the barrage instantly boiled:

"Here he comes! Yuan Shen is here!"

"Brothers, go and get someone to watch the game, Yuan Shen is coming on!"

"If Yuan Shen plays, the game will lose its suspense."

"No, isn't it? Some people are saying that Yuan Shen's hand is broken and he can't play. Is this okay?"

On the competition field, under the greeting of the host, the players from both sides appeared!

The director's camera was moved to IG, giving Yuan Shen a close-up.

When everyone saw Yuan Shen appear on the stage, the audience went crazy:

"Yuan Shen! Yuan Shen! Yuan Shen!"

Yuan Shen can feel the fans' expectations and even desire for him!

Yuan Shen glanced at SKT, and there was a chilling atmosphere!

Everyone in SKT is serious and full of confidence. It seems that they have some tricks and ideas.

In the commentary booth, Wawa said: "From the mental state of the two teams when they came on the field, it seems that both teams are pretty good. They should be confident, which means that one of them must have made a wrong judgment and thought they could win but actually couldn't."

Yuan Shen came to the position, put on headphones, and everything was ready!

The game entered the BP stage.

In this game, IG is on the blue side, and SKT is on the red side.

BAN hero stage:

IG on the blue side: Tristana, Xia, Varus

SKT on the red side: EZ, Gragas, Rek’Sai

Wawa analyzed: “IG’s strategy in this game is very clear. They targeted SKT’s bottom lane and banned three ADCs, while SKT targeted the jungle and banned three junglers.”

“EZ is on the list. In fact, since Yuan Shen used EZ as a jungler in the opening game, EZ’s appearance rate in the jungle position has been very high. Of course, it has gradually decreased since then because everyone found that it seems not that simple.”

Miller continued: “It depends on personal operation. EZ is a hero that requires a lot of operation, so many people are prone to hallucinations, thinking that if Yuan Shen can do it, he can do it too, but in fact he can’t.”

Entering the hero selection stage, IG on the blue side locked Shen on the first floor.

The commentator was very surprised when Shen was selected.

Wawa analyzed: "Shen is indeed a popular top laner in this version, but this hero doesn't match up with Theshy. Theshy is more suitable for warrior heroes, while Shen is more of a tank."

Miller guessed: "Could this be Shen in other positions? For example, support? It is also possible that they are trying to grab SKT's heroes. They may have intelligence and know that SKT has a Shen system?"

While the two were talking, SKT got Kog'Maw and Lulu on the first and second floors.

Rita explained: "SKT seems to attach great importance to the bottom lane in this game. It depends on how the bottom lane performs. Kog'Maw can create miracles if he develops well."

IG got Twitch and Rakan on the second and third floors.

Wawa analyzed: "There is nothing wrong with choosing Twitch. He has long hands in team fights and explosive output in team fights. Rakan seems to be for enhancing the ability to start a team fight."

It was SKT's turn again. SKT got Galio on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

SKT banned Rek'Sai and Zac.

IG banned Treant and Rumble.

SKT got Gnar on the fourth floor.

Miller analyzed: "Top lane Gnar? It feels like stealing heroes. We all know the strength of Theshy's Gnar. He suppresses the opponent in the top lane and even kills the opponent alone. SKT's BAN position needs to be used to restrict the jungler, so we can only use the way of stealing heroes to restrict the top lane."

Wawa explained: "Now the key is here. Which jungler will Yuan Shen choose? This may determine IG's overall play style and strategy."

IG got He and Kennen on the fourth floor and locked in Clockwork on the fifth floor.

After this selection, the commentator was completely dumbfounded.

I don't understand it!

Wawa explained: "What's the situation with IG's lineup? I don't seem to understand it. Who is the jungler? It can't be Kennen jungler? Shen jungler? Clockwork jungler!"

Rita continued: "Now SKT jungler has not been determined, what are they going to take? Prince, SKT locked Prince on the fifth floor."

After both sides locked in ten heroes, the rest is to adjust the division line.

Time passed by second by second, and the lineups of both sides stabilized. When the time entered the last twenty seconds, both sides could change their lineups:

Blue side IG: Top Kennen, Jungle Shen, Mid Clockwork, ADC Twitch, Support Rakan

Red side SKT: Top Gnar, Jungle Prince, Mid Galio, ADC Kog'Maw, Support Lulu

Wawa commented: "It's really Shen as a jungler. The contrast is too big. In the opening game, Yuan Shen used EZ as a jungler, a complete jungler, very pure, and now, he uses Shen as a jungler, which is also pure, but a pure tool man."

Rit a agreed: "Yes, it feels like going from one extreme to another. We can look forward to Yuan Shen's performance. He hasn't played for a long time. Maybe he has been practicing. Today is the time to test the results of his practice."

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen chose to go out and began to lead the rhythm: "The opponent's lineup needs to protect the bottom lane. They are mainly defensive in the early stage. I am also defensive. I will develop first. If there is a situation, I will counter-camp. I rarely choose to take the initiative to attack."

"You develop first on the line, and then wait for me to lead the rhythm."

At level 1, IG has no intention of invading and stands in a defensive position.

The first wave of soldiers came out. With the help of the duo, Yuan Shen got the first red BUFF.

The first round of wild monsters must be all refreshed.

The director gave Shen a close-up.

I saw Wawa commentator: "Shen seems to be a little slow in jungling. Although he has the W skill that can be immune to the output of the flat attack, it needs CD. I feel that he needs to refresh a Tiamat immediately, otherwise the speed of refreshing the jungle is too slow."

Both sides were at peace in the early stage, and the top lane was more intense.

Originally Huni got Gnar and thought he could suppress Theshy, but now Theshy got Kennen, who is very good at playing against Gnar. Kennen's strength has been increasing from the beginning, and Huni can only retreat step by step.

Rita explained: "It still feels like the same problem. SKT didn't want Theshy to get Gnar, so they chose to grab it. However, Theshy's Gnar is so powerful. He must know what Gnar is most afraid of. It's very important for him to target where. Simple things.”

In the middle, Rookie crazily suppressed Faker's Galio.

Faker's play style is very simple, which is to push the line of troops hard, so that Clockwork cannot concentrate firepower to consume him due to the pressure of the line of soldiers.

Both sides of the bot lane are completely developed, neither wants to fight, and it is almost impossible to achieve results, so there is no need to take action.

Soon, the first round of wild monsters was finished. Yuan Shen chose to return to the city where he was, and at the same time, he was given the signal to hit the road:

"Be careful on the road. The jungler on the other side may go back to the road."

On the road, Kennen pinned Gnar under the defense tower, which is quite convenient for the opposite jungler to gank.

However, Yuan Sheng just returned to the city. On the top road, the opposite Huninar took the initiative to fight with Theshy. At the same time, the opposite jungle prince came from the river position.

Upon seeing this, Kennen activated his E skill and retreated. At this time, Gnar was full of anger. He handed over an E skill to expand in mid-air, and a W shot to control Kennen.

Kenan moved to avoid, and Gnar lifted a rock to hit him, but Kenan continued to move.

After the prince gets close, he first uses W to slow down and deal damage at close range. Kenan fights and retreats, and then suddenly uses W to control the prince, and takes advantage of this opportunity to continue retreating!

The prince decisively handed over the second company of EQ, and Kenan moved sideways to avoid it!

"Xiba, is this okay?" CUZZ felt a little helpless and was being manipulated.

Huni said: "We should have banned Kennen, but we made a mistake! Kennen is a very difficult hero to catch, and he is easy to beat me, the hero Counter."

Faker reassured: "Don't be anxious now. Let's take our time. Once we develop, our lineup will be no worse than our opponent's."

Seeing that Kenan successfully escaped, the doll explained: "It's a perfect deal. You can avoid 10,000 skills by moving around, and you don't even need to use Flash? This successfully resolved the crisis?"

Miller praised: "This is Theshy's personal ability. He dares to press the opponent on the top lane and doesn't like to have vision. There is a reason. He is not giving away, he is just confident enough in his own operation."

Yuan Shen counterattacked in the lower half of the opposite jungle. The moment he saw the prince appearing on the top lane, he went directly to the opposite jungle to counterattack. This was considered a profit.

CUZZ came to the lower half of the jungle area on the bottom lane. Looking at the empty jungle area, he suddenly felt a little helpless and wasted too much time on the top lane.

On the road, although teammates came to help catch him once, it had no impact on the situation on the road. Kenan continued to suppress Gnar, and Huni had nothing to do. He couldn't beat him through operation.

Soon, the game time came to five and a half minutes, and the solo lanes were upgraded to six levels one after another.

Rookie gave a signal in the middle: "The opposite Galio is level 6, you all, be careful."

Hearing this, both the top and bottom players stepped back.

The doll explained: "It's almost six minutes now, and there is still no head on both sides. It's very peaceful. At this most critical time, both sides are very cautious. Now that Galio is level 6, I guess IG will be more cautious."

Miller agreed: "That's right, since IG didn't take action before, I guess they won't take action now. It's not necessary. They can drag Shen to level 6, or counter-crouch and wait for SKT to take action first.

At this moment, on the upper side of the road, Kenan suddenly became angry.

At this time, the opponent's Gnar has residual health under the defense tower. Kennen directly jumps over the tower. After approaching, AQ starts, and activates the ultimate move and E skill.

Gnar decisively handed over his E skill and retreated, but was passively controlled by Kennen's W trigger, and was finally taken away by his ultimate move!

First blood breaks out, and you hit the road to complete a wave of single kills!

Yuan Shen glanced at the middle. Galio had the opportunity to make a big move to save people, but he didn't let go!

This is a bit excessive, but in the long run it is correct, because the top lane is really not worth saving, and keeping this ultimate will definitely have other uses. (End of chapter)
