"Oh? In the first game of the group stage, ym's debut hero in the top lane was actually Gnar!" "It Man" Defesio was slightly surprised.
"As far as I know, Jiang Keda has never used the hero Gnar in the entire Spring Split of LPL." Yuli lowered his head and checked the player information, "If you include the round of Winter Split he played in LPL last year, , “This is really the first appearance in his career.”
"Since version 8.5, Gnar has actually been the T1-level choice for the top lane. Although there is Kennen as an alternative option, if he doesn't win it in a game, it only shows that he is not good at this hero." Bearded Hoodekter shrugged. shrug.
"After all, no matter how talented a player is, there will always be heroes that cannot be trained...well, except for faker."
"If you watched ym's spring game trip, you wouldn't say such a thing," Yuli raised his eyebrows, "In the dictionary of Jiang Ke University, there is no such thing as not good at these three words, he can use any 's hero."
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore," DeFesio quickly smoothed things over, "Let's see how EVS will deal with YM's Gnar."
ym's lineup has been completely locked, and currently only the last choice of red side evs is left.
At this time, the camera showed the top laners on both sides.
After Su Chen locked on Nar, he moved his wrist and turned his head to communicate with Xiaotian beside him.
On the other side, the top laner of EVS, known as the Vietnamese Iron Man "Stark", was frowning at this time.
After communicating with the coach.
The last choice of the red side evs, they took out the future guardian, Jace!
The audience in the audience immediately cheered!
"It's actually Jess! EVS is planning to hit the road head-on!" Deckert's eyes lit up.
"Although Jess Leopard's **oke system is good, the introduction of Galio and Luo may make the teammates disconnect, so it's just so-so." DeFesio pondered the lineup of EVS.
"After all, he is the Iron Man of Vietnam, and he is also a legendary top laner in the EVS division. I thought he would use heroes like Kennen or Ornn to avoid a head-on confrontation with Jiang Keda in the lane. After all, the opponent is a team. The ace (trump card)." Yuri smiled.
"Yuli, you have to know that every team in MSI is the league champion. This is the feast of kings, and there are no weak teams." Decker said seriously.
ym's competition seats.
After seeing Jace being taken out from the other side, Xiaotian's eyes widened and his body leaned forward.
"Isn't this EVS a wild card team? They dare to challenge Jess on the road. Are they so confident?" Zhang Xiaowen said in surprise.
"This is interesting." Su Chen smiled, and this expression was accurately captured by the director.
The European audience in the audience immediately sat up straight and started whispering excitedly.
"Here it comes! Demon's smile!"
"According to lpl's experience in watching games, jkd players usually play with a blank face. Even if he wins the game, he will not have any emotional changes. However, once he starts to laugh during the game, the opponent will often end up very badly. miserable……"
In this game, it all depends on what kind of effect it will have when Jess of Vietnam Iron Man faces Gnar of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology on the road.
The final lineups of both sides.
Blue square ym: top laner Gnar, jungle prince, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane wheel Matam.
Red side evs: top laner Jayce, jungler Leopard Girl, mid laner Galio, bottom laner EZ Luo.
Judging from the lineup alone, ym is still more inclined to play in groups. The combination of Wheel Ma Tam makes this lineup have a relatively high fault tolerance rate and is a relatively solid lineup.
On the EVS side, they tend to be more rhythm-oriented. In the early stage, there is linkage between the upper and jungle, and whether Galio in the middle puts enough pressure on the wing. These are also the key to whether EVS can win.
But the real highlight should be the duel on the top lane.
The short countdown ends.
The live broadcast also cuts to Summoner's Rift.
The director showed off the talents of each group of opposing heroes, as well as their starting outfits.
In this round, Su Chen chose the main talent system of Determination and the Immortal Grasp, and the starting equipment was Dolan Shield Red Potion.
On the other side, Iron Man's Jess carries a domination type of electrocution, pursuing instant bursts of damage.
"Dog! Dog! Dog!" Before the wall of air disappeared, Zhang Xiaowen immediately barked in his voice.
"Why is there a dog barking in the voice?" Xiaotian teased him deliberately.
"The boss speaks English! Ingrid! Are you deaf?" Zhang Xiaowen, an upright person, successfully took the bait.
Su Chen listened to the bickering of his teammates in the earphones and marked the signal on the map with a smile.
In the first game of the international competition, the young people from ym are in a very excited state, which is a good thing.
The air wall disappears.
The five ym players on the blue team headed straight from the jungle to the road.
"Ym wants to grab a wave at the beginning and see if he can find some opportunities. After all, if Jess beats Gnar at the first level, he may try to squat in the grass to find a first-level opportunity..."
On the other side, Stark's Jace was crouching motionless in the triangular grass, and in the grass on the upper road where the YM group of five people invaded, he inserted a false eye, and it seemed that he was well prepared.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Su Chen also noticed that there might be a field of vision on the other side and marked a retreat signal.
Except for Nar, the other four people returned to the city one after another.
On the other side, after receiving the message from ym on the road, evs quickly invaded the red buff grass in the lower half of ym as a group of four, setting up their field of view in advance, hoping to wait for ym to come over and take the lead.
"I'll just open blue. The opponent might be squatting in our red zone." Xiaotian said proactively.
"I'll go over and give you a ward." After finishing speaking with his left hand, he controlled the Enchantress to learn w [Shadow's Trace]. After reaching the wild area, he inserted a ward into the red buff pit and gained insight into the direction of EVS.
"EVS did a good job in dealing with the situation at the beginning. They forcibly changed the jungle area with YM. In this case, the prince's route to clear the jungle will be clearer." Defesio praised.
1 minute and 40 seconds.
All three lines of troops arrived.
The camera also moved to the top.
Su Chen controlled Gnar to appear in the top lane's field of vision, while on the other side, Iron Man's cannon form Jace came over from the river.
When Gnar stepped forward to kill the remaining blood soldiers, Jace, who switched to hammer form, rushed out of the grass in an accelerated state, jumped into the sky, and hit the ground with a Q [Sky Leap].
It fell on Gnar in the group of minions!
"Stark's Jess got around him at the first level! He played very proactively!" Defesio shouted loudly.
Gnar, who was slowed by Jace's Sky Leap, did not choose to retreat, but immediately knocked down a bottle of red potion, and then moved forward while fighting back with a flat A.
The three-ring symbol also immediately appeared on the latter's body.
"Did Gnar learn W [Excitement] at Level 1?" Deckert immediately saw it.
When Gnar's W reaches the third level, it will cause percentage magic damage and provide movement speed.
Coupled with the real damage of the Grasp of Immortality, Stark's Jess was instantly consumed to less than half his health!
Although he gained a short-term movement speed bonus after switching to gun form, Gnar's W with full three rings also provided movement speed, and he also took the lead in getting stuck in position!
"Jace's health is a bit dangerous, and this wave of non-crossing flashes feels a bit dangerous!" Yuli shouted.
Seeing that his health reached the dangerous level, Stark gritted his teeth and had no choice but to hand over Flash and retreat to the defense tower.
Level 1 Jiangsu University of Science and Technology showed a flash from the opposite side!
The audience immediately became agitated!
Gnar on the other side submerged himself into the grass. After removing the aggro from the minions, he came out and slowly replenished the minions.
In the contestant shot, Stark touched his bangs and looked very nervous.
In the LCS studio, three commentators were also discussing the collision between the two sides at the top level.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with Jace's level 1 blood exchange. After all, he has a talent for electrocution, so he has an advantage in terms of bursts." Deckert frowned.
"The strange thing is that at the first level, Gnar from Jiangsu University did not learn q [boomerang], but w [excitement], and his secondary system should have attack speed, paired with the Grasp of Immortality
The effect, I didn’t expect the effect to be so amazing.”
"This is the understanding of the enemy's psychology. When he saw that the opponent had electrocution and the first level was not in the grass above, he guessed that the opponent might go around the back position and attack with a burst." Yuli said excitedly.
"Although Jess's health loss at level 1 can be replenished by drinking red potion, but he is knocked out at level 1, it will be difficult to compete with Gnar for lane rights. In this way, ym's jungle prince can directly invade the upper half of the red zone of EVS.
, take away this red." Defesio said.
Sure enough, after learning that Jace who was on the road did not show up.
After Xiaotian got the blue buff and the toad, he immediately went straight to the upper half of the jungle area of evs and easily took the red of Leopard Girl.
"I'm at level 3, can Jess go higher?" Xiaotian said excitedly.
"It has been prepared for a long time." Su Chen stopped controlling the line and pushed his own line into the tower just before the prince took away the red buff.
Gnar's anger has also reached a critical value and is about to transform into a giant form.
Just as ym was getting ready to jump over the tower, a red TP light beam appeared on the defense tower behind Jace.
"EVS's mid laner Galio handed over TP and wanted to support and protect Jace, so YM's wave of tower jumps should be abandoned..." Deckert hadn't finished speaking yet.
Galio's TP was suddenly canceled!
Decter's face was full of confusion, and the director immediately moved the camera to the center.
I saw that at the big bird pit in the jungle, Galio, who was in TP state, was controlled by Enchantress' e [Phantom Chain], and TP was also interrupted!
"The Enchantress found Galio's position and successfully interrupted it! Well done, knight!" Yuli excitedly threw a left hook.
After getting the signal from his left hand, ym Ueno jumped over the tower decisively.
Su Chen controlled Gnar and clicked several minions to transform into a giant Gnar, with all his skills refreshed.
q[boomerike] has also become [throwing rocks].
Big Gnar suddenly swung his giant claw, and a stone hit Jace under the tower, causing it to slow down.
The prince also entered the tower twice, trying to knock Jace away.
Stark's reaction was also very sensitive. Jace, who switched to the hammer form, fired his q [Leap of the Sky], hitting the soldier and avoiding the prince's eq. At the same time, he hammered Gnar on the wall.
But Su Chen continued with a set of e [stomp] and w [beat]. Gnar jumped on Jace and stunned him at the same time. After the prince compensated for the damage, he completed the kill!
Jace is killed!
First blood is born!
"Ym's junglers and junglers still cooperate very well. The giant Gnar has bonuses in health and armor, and he is very stable when carrying towers. Although Stark's operation reached the limit in this wave, he did not flash, and he was really unable to recover.
." Decker said regretfully.
"This is the chain reaction of failure in level one battle. Of course, the moment when Knight's Enchantress interrupts Galio's teleportation is also crucial." Yuri said with a smile.
After Jess died on the top lane, EVS's jungler Leopard Girl also cleared the lower half of her jungle area, and wanted to capture a wave of bottom lane with the red and blue buffs.
Luo Sheng appeared and knocked Tahm away, and ez also launched a set of combos.
Because they knew that Wheel Mom had an e-shield and could be immune to control, EVS also targeted Tahm Kench at level 2, but Zhang Xiaowen was very stable and learned e [Thick Skin] at level 2.
After wearing a heavy shield and deflecting Leopard Girl's Q shot, Tam had no hope of killing him, and EVS's attack was abandoned.
"Wow, ym, the road is so stable, the wheel mom didn't even want to turn back and operate it, she just ran away when she saw the other side approaching." Defesio said a little strangely.
"As far as I know, the AD players of the LPL representative teams over the years have been relatively aggressive in their playing style. The top lane position is usually a pressure-resistant position. This year, this YM team has completely reversed it. They carry in the top lane and carry in the bottom lane.
The road withstands pressure," Deckert said.
"Yes, like rng's Uzi, edg's iboy, and we's mystic, they are all AD players with strong pressure in the bottom lane. This year's ym is completely a non-mainstream lpl team." Defici
Ao echoed.
After Leopard Girl failed to gank, she chose to return to the city and go straight to the top road, hoping to put some pressure on Gnar on the opposite line.
However, Xiaotian's ward placement in the opponent's jungle area also revealed Leopard Girl's movements.
After pushing a wave of troops to level five, Su Chen chose to return to the city.
6 minutes and 31 seconds.
The fifth-level Gnar made a net loss and returned to the line.
The army line has returned to the middle point of the top lane.
At this time, Jace's flash had already improved, and he no longer cowered like before. After switching to the cannon form, Jace kept releasing Q [Electric Shock], trying to poke Gnar.
However, several consecutive rounds of energy cannons either hit the air or hit small soldiers, but Gnar easily dodged them all.
Stark's expression was very helpless, and the movement of Gnar across from him was so weird that he couldn't even touch his hair.
After taking a look at his experience bar that was about to be full, Su Chen controlled Gnar and threw the q [boomerike], cleaning up the minions while accumulating anger.
"Nar loses control of the line! This may be a dangerous signal!"
After Stark saw Gnar push the line, he immediately cast an eye in the grass behind him, worried that the prince would try to jump the tower again.
However, the jungler Leopard Girl found the position of the prince in the lower half, and Enchantress and Galio were also pulling hard in the middle. It seemed that no one was going to interfere with him.
Jace returned to the defense tower and prepared to use a wave of tower swords.
However, before Gnar was about to push his troops under the defense tower, he transformed into a giant Gnar state, threw a rock, and hit Jace's body, causing a slowdown.
Then, Gnar directly flashed w [beat], which stunned Jace!
"Why don't Gnar take action without waiting for the troops to enter the tower? He is only level 5!" Defesio said doubtfully.
However, the next moment, after a red soldier was killed, Gnar instantly rose to level six, roared to the sky, and with the power of thunder, his giant palm knocked Jace unconscious against the wall!
Withstanding the attack from the defense tower, Gnar beat Jace to the point of losing his health!
"Narka hit a wave of six-level timing and caught him by surprise, but the damage was still a bit short. He couldn't kill Jace instantly. The opponent had flash!"
After the control chain ended, Stark immediately flashed and tried to pull away.
Under the protection of the defense tower, as long as he distanced himself, Gnar could not continue to pursue him.
However, at the moment when Jace flashed, Gnar followed up with e [Stomp], successfully predicted the landing point of Jace's flash, and dealt the final blow!
