Chapter 362: Change Your Mindset and Just Beat TheShy!

"Tristana didn't flash out this time, and LGD lost another player. This is too much!" Guan Zeyuan said.

"Including the first one killed, Rakan, LGD was beaten 0 for 3 by IG in this wave."

"Is it questionable that Zhou Shen's Gnar didn't TP down when he was less than half-blood?"

And Zhihuan's speech was more direct.

"There is actually no problem with Gnar TPing down. At this time, IG only had the big worm who TPed but didn't revive. Although Rakan was killed, Gragas and Kennen didn't have their ultimates, and Kennen was still at low health!"

"The main problem is that LGD's cooperation in this wave was too bad. It can be said that there was no cooperation at all in this wave, and they were killed one after another by IG."

"LGD's bottom lane was completely blown up, and IG's rhythm was completely up."

Although this wave suffered a big blow.

But the atmosphere in the LGD team voice chat soon became peaceful again.

It was just the first game of the BO5. LGD's players were experienced in battles and adjusted their mentality quickly.

However, adjusting the mentality cannot change the situation on the field.

The fact is just as Zhou Dian thought at the beginning.

LGD is almost dead in this game!

After being beaten 0 for 3 in the bottom lane, IG took advantage of the situation to push down LGD's bottom lane tower and took down the first blood tower.

At the same time, the lower half of the jungle was swept by the barrel again.

After the three-headed Skateboard Shoes returned to the city, he directly took out the Ruined Boots with Attack Speed, plus two Attack Speed ​​Daggers, which was very rich.

Then IG went straight to the Rift Herald.

Looking at Skateboard Shoes' equipment, and then looking at the scattered parts on Tristana and Corki, LGD's going to take this pioneer group is equivalent to sending themselves to death.

Although the LGD players have been able to calmly accept that this game is likely to be lost.

But this does not mean that they have to commit suicide and accelerate their own demise.

IG really wants LGD to die quickly. After taking the Rift Herald, they released it directly in the middle lane.

Then the five people gathered and forcibly pushed down LGD's middle lane tower.

LGD knew that they couldn't defend the middle tower, so they didn't bother to defend it.

Tristana was last-hitting in the bottom lane, while Gnar, who was at the top of the top lane, took the opportunity to destroy IG's low-health top tower.

It looked like they were trading towers to stop the loss, but in fact it was useless, as IG's rhythm had already taken off.

IG's two extremely strong shooter heroes in the early and mid-game, with Gragas and Big Worm, two bodyguards with talents of [Stoneborn Covenant], were rampant everywhere.

When they saw LGD, they would rush over the tower.

At this point in time, for LGD, these IG players had high damage, sufficient control, and had recovery and Teemo was very tanky.

There was no way to fight them at all.

In this game, LGD persisted until nearly 30 minutes, but was still flattened by IG in one wave.

"LGD really has no other options. IG pushed down LGD's base crystal."

"Then, congratulations to IG. In this BO5 semi-final of the summer season, they took the lead and temporarily led LGD with a score of 1 to 0."

Guan Zeyuan continued: "In fact, after the zero-for-three wave in the bottom lane, LGD was doomed."

"But this game only took less than 30 minutes, which is relatively fast."

The game ended quickly, largely because of TheShy.

He played a big worm and rushed forward without thinking.

The barrel, who was also in the front row, often pulled a little.

But the big worm would not stop until it died.

In the big advantage game, TheShy's record of the big worm was 0-3-5.

Of course, the record was not good, but the effect was fully played.

"Let's take a look at the MVP of the first game!" Rita finally had a chance to say a few words at this time.

"The MVP of this game went to Ning's Gragas, who had a record of 0-0-8."

Guan Zeyuan took over the conversation: "I think it's okay to give the MVP of this game to West's Kalista, after all, she had the highest damage in the game."

"Giving it to Ning should be based on the two ganks against LGD's bottom lane. Gragas flashed twice with E and directly crashed through LGD's bottom lane."

"In this BO5, LGD was hit by IG right at the beginning, which should have surprised many viewers!"

"Then, take a break, everyone. I will bring you the second game of the BO5 later."

As soon as he returned to the lounge, imp said to Dgc: "Coach, Skateboard Shoes, you can't give it to me anymore!"

"That's right, that's right." Dgc said repeatedly, "The main reason we lost the first game was because of my BP problem. The heroes I picked for you in the middle and bottom lanes were too difficult to play against."

To put it bluntly, Dgc still underestimated IG's ADC West.

All along, Xihuang's performance is indeed not very good, and he is the one who drags down IG.

So, even though Xihuang is in great form recently and carries the game one after another.

Dgc still thinks that Xihuang is just a piece of paper and will definitely be broken when he meets imp.

But I don't know if this version of Skateboard Shoes is really too good, or Xihuang has really evolved.

In the first game, it was imp who was broken by Xihuang.

This made imp very unhappy.

In the training game, LGD was able to solve this problem of Skateboard Shoes.

But in the main game, Skateboard Shoes is still too good!

The red side should just ban it honestly, there is no need to take risks.

Everyone in LGD gathered together and discussed BP preparations for the second game that would start later.

"I think we need to adjust our strategy a little bit." Zhou Dian said directly.

"Well! What do you say?" Dgc turned his head and asked.

"Brother Xu, you should have noticed that there is something wrong with TheShy's tanks, and the problem is quite big."

After a pause, Zhou Dian continued: "So, my suggestion is...get him directly!"

After playing the first game in person and combining it with some of TheShy's games he had watched in the past, Zhou Dian also figured out something.

TheShy now is indeed a talented top laner with extremely high talent.

However, he has just started playing professionally and has many shortcomings.

The typical one is that the habit of ranking is too strong, such as being stubborn.

Playing tank laning is also like playing warrior.

Problems such as being greedy for the line and being unconvinced are often seen in TheShy.

Obviously, TheShy’s current understanding of tank heroes is not deep enough, and he just rushes into the team without thinking.

In the recent versions where the bottom lane is better able to carry the game, among the two top laners of IG, TheShy is not necessarily as useful as Duke.

However, there is a hero who can tolerate these shortcomings of TheShy when playing a tank.

That's the big bug.

Take out the hero Big Chongzi and there are some mainstream top laners in the current version, and no one online can suppress him.

In addition, due to the existence of the ultimate move of the hero Big Chongzi, he can achieve tankiness earlier than other heroes, much earlier.

When TheShy plays the big bug without thinking, the equipment in the C position of the opponent is often not up yet. After a round of concentrated fire, the big bug is barely damaged but not killed.

Therefore, the IG coach will definitely give priority to TheShy to continue to get this hero.

In the second game, if LGD is on the red side, there will be too many heroes to ban, and there will be no ban space for the big bug.

Moreover, after Zhou Dian changed his mind, he felt that there was no need to ban Da Chongzi.

Although since the summer split, due to some targeted guidance version changes made by Riot Games, the carry ability of the top lane has become worse and worse.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t carry on the road.

Zhou Dian decided that in this follow-up BO5 game, he would just fuck TheShy head-on and it would be over.

"Okay, dear viewers, welcome back to the 2017 LPL Summer Split Playoffs."

"Now we continue to bring you the BO5 contest between LGD and IG in the playoff semi-finals. IG currently leads LGD with a score of 1 to 0."

At this time, the scene in the event live broadcast room switched from the commentary booth to the player booth.

"The players on both sides are already in place. The two teams did not make any personnel changes in the second game and still continued the starting lineup from the first game."

Guan Zeyuan continued: "In the second game of BO5, IG had the right to choose sides. As expected, IG also took the initiative to choose the blue side, while LGD was on the red side."

"I wonder if the LGD team will come up with anything new in the second game after losing the first game?"

"Let's take a look at the BP of both sides in the second game!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the BP interface appeared on the big screen.

The BP of the second game officially begins.

First round of BP.

IG banned Big Mouth, Jess, and Rock Bird.

LGD banned Rambo, skateboard shoes, and spiders.

"The first three bans on IG's side are the same as they were in the first game. IG's thinking is obviously the way to win, so I will continue to use it."

Qihuan continued: "Then LGD really banned Kalista!"

"West's Kalista performed extremely well in the first game and directly penetrated LGD's bottom lane. This is obviously contrary to what most people expected before the game!"

Guan Zeyuan also said: "Well, I think Kalista is the hero. The version is too strong!"

"Just follow the version, there's nothing wrong with it! In addition, Spider is also a hero with a high ban rate on the red side."

"Looking at the selection, do IG want to grab the wine barrel? Or do you want to grab the cannon?"

"Oh! I got the Prince on the first floor. This is also a good choice. It can be used in both top lane and jungle."

IG locked the prince on the first floor of the blue square.

On the LGD player bench.

Zhou Dian narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the computer screen in front of him.

The commentators and most of the audience may think that the prince will sway depending on the situation.

But he is certain that IG's prince must be a jungler.

It was LGD's turn to select players. Zhou Dian chose Wine Barrel on the first floor of the red side, and Eimy chose Luo on the second floor of the red side.

"Wine barrels? Nowadays wine barrels are basically used for jungle. The cost-effectiveness of the top order is too low. If you choose Luo, the small cannon must be given to IG." Qi Huan said.

As Hallucination said, IG did not hesitate at all and directly chose the small cannon on the second floor of the blue square.

Then, IG chose Lulu to assist with small cannons on the third floor of the blue square.

At this time, Guan Zeyuan suddenly said: "LGD is going to take Luo to play a small role. I think they may take Xia."

It was LGD's turn to choose a player. Without too much delay, LGD directly locked Xia on the third floor of the red square.

"It's Xia, imp and PYL are definitely one of the best bottom lane combinations in LPL to play this Phoenix Legend combination." Zhihuan said.

"In fact, Xia is a hero that requires a high level of proficiency. Many AD players find that they can't play other ADCs after playing Xia for a while."

Guan Zeyuan continued: "And the key is that you can't play Xia with the same idea as other ADCs. She is a little different from other ADCs."

When it comes to these ADCs with unique mechanisms, Guan Zeyuan became interested and started to talk about it, showing off his understanding of the diamond rank!

The first round of BP ended and it was time for the second round of BP.

LGD banned Cassiopeia and Shindra.

IG banned Shen and Shen.

"It's still against IG's mid laner Rookie. Rookie is particularly good at playing these two heroes."

Seeing that IG chose to ban Shen, Zhihuan said: "Shen's defensive ability is still too strong. I think IG still hopes to expand its advantage in the early and mid-term."

"IG has always been a snowball team, and they are very strong in favorable situations!"

"We have seen less IG playing against the wind recently, but they have basically not made a comeback."

"Yes." Guan Zeyuan nodded, "IG killed Qing Gangying in the last hand, which is a complete continuation of the previous game. The five-hand ban is exactly the same as the first game."

"In this case, it feels like the mid lanes of both sides are going to replicate the previous game!"

"Well, the mid lanes of both sides are basically Corki and Lucian in this game." Rita finally had a chance to say something.

"LGD should take Corki first on the fourth floor, so the counter position is left to the top laner Zhou Shen."

"IG took Lucian and Cho'Gun in the last two rounds!"

"Then IG completely continued the idea of ​​the first game. Since I won, there is no need to make changes."

Zhou Dian saw that IG chose Cho'Gun as he expected.

The eyes that were slightly narrowed suddenly opened.

Dgc, who was standing behind Zhou Dian, didn't know what Zhihuan on the commentary seat had just said.

But Zhihuan had a point of view that coincided with his idea.

That is, the current IG, especially when TheShy was on the court, relied on snowballing advantages in the early and mid-terms, and could not play against the wind at all.

Their handling of the wind was particularly chaotic.

This was a conclusion that Dgc came to after watching all the games of IG's summer regular season.

So Dgc decided to give the right to choose completely to Zhou Dian.

He didn't intervene in LGD's last round, the top laner's hero selection.

There is no need to consider so many team matters when playing against IG. Isn't the counter position used to gain an advantage in the line?

Anyway, in Dgc's eyes, there is no top laner that Zhou Dian can't counter.

This range is not limited to LPL.

"Xiao Zhou, you decide the top laner yourself!" Dgc said, "What hero do you want to use to fight against the big worm?"

Dgc's question came from the headset, and Zhou Dian immediately gave his answer.

Zhou Dian had already decided on this answer.

This was not a temporary decision, but the result of thinking.

After figuring out that TheShy would definitely take the big worm in the second game, Zhou Dian had already begun to consider Dgc's question just now.

Hearing Zhou Dian's words, PYL on the fifth floor of the red side locked the hero that Zhou Dian wanted.

The lines spoken when locking the hero sounded in the headphones of the LGD people:

"Let's hunt those who fall into the dark!"

At the same time, in the commentary booth

"What will Zhou Shen choose to fight against Kog'Maw?"

"Although LGD lost the last game, it's actually not bad to choose Gnar, and Zhou Shen's Gnar almost killed TheShy's Kog'Maw by crossing the tower in the last game."

Suddenly, Guan Zeyuan screamed.

"Huh? Pick Vayne first?"
