"The lineups of IG and DWG are very unique, and they match the styles of the two teams quite well."
"IG's lineup seems to be very competitive, especially top laner Riven and jungler Lilia. They completely rely on the status of TheShy and Xiao Leyan, but overall they still favor the lane."
While the game was loading, Guan Zeyuan briefly analyzed the pros and cons of the two teams' lineups, "The DWG lineup is too development-oriented."
"The midfielder Kindred and Clockwork are both heroes with little rhythm in the early stage, and they are paired with Ornn on the top lane. They do not highlight the strong points of DWG's top midfielder at all."
When talking about DWG's top, middle and jungle combination, Guan Zeyuan's face was full of doubts, and he didn't seem to be very clear about why DWG chose it this way.
"Perhaps they are afraid of IG's top, middle and jungle strength. Although DWG's top, middle and jungle are indeed very strong, they still have to give IG's top, middle and jungle three points."
"I think if it's really a head-to-head match in the top half, IG should have the advantage. TheShy has been in hot form recently, and Rookie's touch has always been there."
"This may be the reason why DWG chose to compromise in the first half. They want to avoid fighting IG in the early stage, and then decide the winner in the later stage."
After hearing this, Wawa showed a slight smile of disdain on his face, "Every team that meets IG for the first time, the first thought is to delay the late game, but this idea has long been completely abandoned by LPL teams, because it is simply not feasible.
.”
Miller also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but it is understandable because there are too few games between DWG and IG. If I remember correctly, this game is the first time DWG and IG have played against each other this year."
"It's normal to have this kind of fantasy. I think if they play a game with IG, they might understand why the LPL teams don't dare to delay the late game with IG."
Even Guan Zeyuan has to admit that choosing to delay the late stage with IG is completely a bad move, but DWG, which only has psychological expectations for IG's combat power, can only understand it after actually playing it.
After players from both sides entered the game, DWG players did not choose to invade IG's jungle area. Neither Kindred nor Clockwork were good at level one teams, so both junglers started normally.
Xiao Leyan, who is located on the blue side, did not choose to start from the lower half. Instead, he started from the upper half of the area with blue, and then brushed all the way to the wild route in the lower half.
Canyon's jungle clearing route is almost a mirror image of Xiao Leyan's. Qian Jue also chooses to open the blue field, but with the help of teammates, Qian Jue's jungle clearing speed will be faster.
But Lilia quickly caught up. As the current wild core version of the trap, Lilia used her fast jungle speed to confuse many teams.
Especially in the playoffs and group matches, many teams chose to use Lilia as Leopard Girl's top replacement. However, Lilia's scraping damage and fragile body made this hero's teamfight performance hard to describe.
Even JDG, who had the best effect using Lilia, had to think twice before choosing this hero, but in the end Lilia still gave JDG away.
Now IG has taken out this hero again in the finals. To be honest, many people are quite worried, fearing that IG will overturn accidentally.
On the other hand, Yun Ge off the court still looked confident. He was very confident in Xiao Leyan's Lilia, because the reason why many teams failed to use Lilia occurred in team battles.
Lilia, who relies on jungle farming to gain an advantage, lacks the ability to make the final decision, that is, the means to turn advantages into victory, but IG does not need to worry.
First of all, what IG needs from Lilia is her powerful jungle farming ability, not Lilia's team battles, so I don't have to worry about this problem at all.
Secondly, after Lilia gained the advantage, there wasn't much that Xiao Leyan could do. With Syndra, Riven and Thresh around, Lilia only needed to take over the control, and Lilia's mission to start a group was not
Not very heavy.
After deeply understanding Lilia's strengths and weaknesses, Yunge regarded this hero as IG's trump card, because she can perfectly meet IG's requirements, a wild core hero who can farm and is not easily targeted.
In the early stages of the game, the movements of the two junglers were predictable. Xiao Leyan, who had brushed all the way to the lower half of the area, cleared all his own half of the area, and immediately went to the jungle to capture the river crab with Qian Jue's mark.
When Canyon saw Kindred's mark painted on the lower river channel, he did not choose to go to the lower half of the area to print the mark, but chose to mark Riven directly on the road.
In fact, Canyon is not aware of Xiao Leyan's jungle clearing trends at this time. According to the normal jungle clearing route, Qian Jue's choice to go to the bottom lane to hunt river crabs at this time is the most correct choice, because Lilia should be farming near the upper river.
wild.
But as a wild core with a keen sense of smell, Canyon thought a little more. When the first mark was painted on the lower half, he chose to mark TheShy on the top lane. Then the upper and lower half areas both had the mark of Kindred, which means Qianjue Duo
Made a choice.
Whether it is to catch the upper road immediately or to fight for the river crabs, Kindred has the opportunity to get the mark, so Canyon chooses to take two steps towards the river on the upper road.
The moment he saw the existence of the river crab in the upper half of the area, Qian Jue turned around and walked up. From the river crab, Canyon guessed Xiao Leyan's jungle route, and Lilia was definitely not in the upper half.
The marks in the lower half are not guaranteed, and Kind Jue must use all his strength to take down the mark on TheShy's head in the top lane. Only then does Riven begin to retreat.
When the laning just started, TheShy still played very fiercely. The first few levels were Riven's strong laning period, and she could basically beat Ornn.
Even though Niuguli was operating Ornn, he was defeated in the duel with TheShy. Both his health and troop line were suppressed, but Niuguli still held on to prevent Riven from pushing the troop line under the tower.
This gave Canyon a good opportunity to catch it. The moment the mark appeared on Riven's head, TheShy did not choose to retreat. Instead, he wanted to force the line of troops under the tower and then retreat again. A greedy play.
TheShy's idea is that as long as the line of troops is pushed under the tower, Riven can retreat more easily. In fact, TheShy is very careful when pushing the line.
As long as there is any disturbance, Riven will immediately start to retreat. With her strong mobility, if Riven wants to retreat, Ornn really can't catch up.
But TheShy didn't expect Kindred to finish marking the mark, and waited for a while before approaching the top road. At this time, Riven had almost used up her skills because of the lane push.
During the brief period of weakness, Kindred actually made a move. With both the upper and jungle players in DWG reaching level three, Ornn and Kindred really had the ability to kill Riven.
Niuguli's Ornn took the lead. Ornn directly handed over the flash, and then threw a Q skill towards TheShy on the way to retreat. However, Ornn's E skill was knocked back and he did not release it in a hurry, choosing to hold it in his hand.
TheShy was also well aware of Niuguli's thoughts. Without Ornn handing over his E skill, Riven could only avoid Ornn's Q skill, which delayed Riven's retreat time.
However, TheShy masters are bold, so Riven did not choose to take a detour, but walked straight towards the hill. The moment Ornn was about to release his E skill, Riven decisively used Flash to avoid being knocked back.
TheShy thought that after he handed over the flash, this wave of gank was basically over, but Canyon's Kindred refused to let go, activated the W skill, jumped forward, and put the E skill on Riven to slow down.
Taking advantage of this small deceleration effect, Ornn behind Riven also caught up, and TheShy could only use the E skill to move a short distance to distance herself.
However, Canyon's choice was also very decisive. He flashed to follow up, made two consecutive basic attacks, successfully dealt three bursts of damage, and successfully reduced Riven's HP.
TheShy was really panicking at this time. He was stuck by Kindred, and using the slowing effect of the red BUFF, Ornn also used the fragile effect of breathing fire.
"TheShy is in danger! Riven is indeed too easy to target. She is easily caught as soon as she pushes the lane. This wave may be gone, and TheShy may have to give out blood again."
The moment he saw Ruiwen's residual health, Guan Zeyuan made a prediction based on his inner thoughts and directly sentenced TheShy to death.
But at this moment, Riven, who was about to be killed by Kindred, had already changed her Q skill. One Q, two Q, and three jump Q. Riven actually relied on the three small displacements increased by the Q skill.
, successfully escaped to the depths of the defense tower.
Although there was less than 100 HP left, Qian Jue, who had taken the damage from the defense tower, could only retreat outside the defense tower. Even if Canyon continued to pursue her, she would not be able to reach Riven.
"Beautiful! It's very extreme. I escaped with only half of my health. TheShy was really almost dead."
"The senior colonel is indeed safe. He saved TheShy's life with just one mouthful. Damn it, Canyon's milk just came out from the keyboard."
After seeing TheShy successfully escape with residual health, Wawa and Miller both started teasing Guan Zeyuan, and the colonel did not expect TheShy to survive.
If Riven's Q skill had been a second or two slower to turn around, TheShy would definitely have to be on top, but sometimes, fate is just such a coincidence.
Unable to get the mark on the road, Canyon could only tearfully take down the crabs without marks in the river to comfort him, but at this time, Xiao Leyan, who had returned to the city to supply supplies, started to hunt the second group of wild monsters.
Although Canyon did not lag behind in experience in the jungle, the failure of ganking in the top lane still interfered with his rhythm of farming. With the second wave of wild monsters already refreshed, Canyon slowly fell behind Xiao Leyan.
Although he failed to catch TheShy on the top lane, he played Riven's flash, which also made Niuguli's line up a little more comfortable, but Ornn didn't have to worry about being suppressed by Riven.
Since Qian Jue's mark was still on TheShy, Xiao Leyan finished the upper half of the area and headed down the road. TheShy's Ruiwen didn't dare to press the line too deeply.
While DWG was focusing on the top lane, the battle in the middle was also extremely fierce. After getting Syndra, who was strong in the lane, Rookie was full of firepower in this game.
In the last Bo5 with JDG, Rookie was very frustrated. Originally, the hero pool in the middle of this version was not very friendly to him, and he was targeted by the Redmi coach on BP. Rookie did not use his full strength at all.
Therefore, after getting Syndra in this game, Rookie got into trouble with Showmaker. However, Xu Xiu is not an ordinary person. Although DWG arranged their tactics around the rhythm of Canyon's jungle core, their hidden Kyrie position is in the middle.
Compared to the sharp-edged Niu Guli in the top lane and the extremely powerful jungle core Canyon, Xu Xiu in the middle lane is actually the most stable lane in DWG because he has to support the entire team battle.
Showmaker not only has to support the rhythm of the first half of DWG, but also takes care of the weaker second half. Canyon in the jungle also needs his cooperation. In addition, he has to maintain a high-intensity line in the middle.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the midfielder is versatile, but today he met his opponent. If we just talk about taking care of his teammates, Rookie may not be as good as Showmaker.
But Rookie, who has full lane points, is like a sharp sword at this time, making Showmaker feel huge pressure. He has never experienced this kind of strong lane suppression in the LCK.
Even the player who is known as the devil in the middle does not give him such a strong sense of oppression in the middle. Perhaps because he is older, Faker has slowly changed his laning style.
The big devil who was in the middle lane, killing gods when he met, and killing Buddha when he met Buddha, has lost his dominance, but at this moment, Showmaker realized what it means to feel suffocated.
He can only desperately resist the laning pressure brought by Rookie in the middle. As for how to help his teammates and cooperate with the jungle, he has completely forgotten about it. He must first survive the laning before he can think about other things.
Rookie was also very excited at this time. It is not easy to meet an equally matched opponent. In the past year's games, there were really not many opponents who could bring him some tension in the middle.
Not long after the match, Rookie concluded that the junior named Xu Xiu was very talented. He felt like Faker, a junior, left-hand player and other players with amazing talents.
Unlike the previous players whose status was affected by various reasons, the Showmaker was in good shape and felt hot, and Rookie gradually inspired the competitive spirit in his heart.
When encountering a strong opponent, Rookie certainly refused to admit defeat. If he wanted to exert a suppressive effect during the laning period, he had to compete in the middle today.
Relying on Syndra's strong laning ability in the early stage, Rookie could barely suppress Clockwork, but he also felt that it was difficult, but Rookie's eyes became more and more excited.
Different from the very anxious situation in the middle and upper lanes, IG played very comfortably in the bottom lane. Although Sapphire's Thresh was not so proactive, Aphelios and Braum on the opposite side could only be beaten passively, and Draven was able to beat them.
very comfortable.
What's more important is that no one is interrupting this game. Judging from the current situation, DWG is definitely focusing on the rhythm of the upper half, and Qian Jue doesn't even have the idea of looking at the lower half.
Kindred really has no way to cooperate with the ganking ability of the bottom duo. Instead of catching them, it is better to brush two more groups of wild monsters. After all, the opposite jungler Lilia has already gone crazy, and Xiaolu is very happy in the jungle.
Therefore, under the protection of Sapphire Thresh, Ah Shui's Draven is almost alone against DWG and two people. As long as Braum's Q skill is not hit, the opponent's bottom duo has no threat to Draven at all.
Ah Shui can be consumed as much as he wants, but unfortunately it is a bit difficult to kill. Unless Sapphire's Thresh hooks Aphelios, IG's bottom lane will not be able to complete the line kill.
Good news, RNG played despite being sick and successfully advanced!
