"The blue square ym's last choice actually locked the stone man!"
"Is this serious!?"
The three commentators had wonderful expressions when they saw the stone man displayed in the window on the fifth floor of the ym.
There are many reasons. First of all, the hero Stoneman itself has a very low appearance rate in this year's LPL.
The reason is also very simple, this hero is too stupid.
Although in the pub ranking game, the Stone Man is known as a mixed beast, even if it is crushed online, in team battles, only the ultimate move [Unstoppable] can be used, so the effect can still be fully utilized.
But it's a completely different story in the professional arena. It's very difficult for a normal player to be hit by a stone man if they have flash and displacement skills.
In team battles, the cooperation and pull of the players also made it difficult for the Stone Man to easily find opportunities to knock away a few people with his ultimate move like he did in qualifying.
[Frowning, the giant lava beast!]
[What's the situation with ym, can you still choose the stone man's top laner? Jkd has been logged in by Brother Ba in a different place?]
[There is a Mundo on the opposite side, and ym has no problem using Stone Man to defeat him, but your top laner is Jiang Keda!]
[ym’s lineup is perfect with four guarantees and one, including Ice Girl, Centaur, and Stoneman’s midfield and jungle. This newcomer’s AD card is so big]
After seeing ym take out the stone man, rw on the red side also locked the last choice, Zach in the jungle position!
Comparison of the lineups of both sides:
Blue square ym: top lane stone man, jungler horse, mid lane ice girl, bottom lane Kai'Sa style girl
Red square rw: top laner Mundo, jungler Zac, mid laner Akali, bottom lane big mouth Lulu
"The lineups on both sides of this game are really good. YM has a lot of team-fighting skills, but RW's mid laner Akali may become a rhythm point in the early stage." Tong Xi commented.
"To be honest, I was surprised to see YM take out the top laner Stone Man. YM's lineup is actually quite similar to four guarantees and one. Before that, even if YM took Ornn on the top lane, the two positions of mid and jungle were at least good.
Pick heroes with high output capabilities." Guan Zeyuan rubbed his chin.
"In the first game, both sides should have bet on the bottom lane, but rw has a top AD like Sima Lao Zei. It depends on whether ym's newcomers can withstand the test."
…
Countdown stage.
The players on both sides of the competition seats were all communicating via voice before the game.
On rw's side, doinb has been keeping the atmosphere lively, and the other four people, except for the old thief Sima, were all amused by him.
Here is a close-up of ym.
Different from the calm expressions of the other four people, his body was tense and his hands were already on the mouse and keyboard, as if he was ready to go to the battlefield.
Although it's just a regular season game, it's his first game in the lpl, and he doesn't want to mess it up.
During the preparation stage, he kept telling himself not to be nervous, not to be nervous...but Xiaotian's words made his heart freeze.
"The flawless Zach thief likes to capture. I guess he will either go down with the red one, or he will capture it with the blue one at the second level. You should be careful in front of him." Xiaotian analyzed.
"Akali will probably also travel to the bottom lane. I met Akali in the opposite mid lane once in the cold server. He mainly plays pushing the lane and roaming. In this game, I am playing Ice Girl, and he probably has no chance of laning.
, you must push the thread and run down." The left hand also added.
"I... I'll try to hold on as steady as possible." After listening to what a few people said, I was already sweating profusely under pressure.
"You two haven't started fighting yet, so you're going to destroy your own mentality, right?" Zhang Xiaowen said angrily.
"I am helping him adapt to the rhythm of the game in advance. I am mentally prepared so that if he is really caught, his mentality will not be shattered." Xiaotian said nonchalantly.
"Okay," Su Chen's voice floated through the headphones, "We have this lineup for this round just to give you room to play. Just play according to your own style, and we will take care of the rest.
"
"Hmm...Okay." Hearing Su Chen's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded cautiously.
He has watched ym's previous game videos and knows that ym rarely used this kind of lineup with four guarantees and one guarantee.
In his first LPL game today, ym chose such a lineup for him and handed the key to the game into his hands.
For him, this is a great trust.
He must shoulder his own responsibilities.
…
The countdown is over.
Summoner's Rift appeared in the live broadcast.
In the spring on the blue side, five heroes descended one after another.
Su Chen purchased the Corruption Potion in the equipment inventory, and then clicked on several signals on the map.
"We don't have any hard control in the early stage of this game. The best idea is to block the river and don't expose the wild route." Su Chen commanded.
"I will open the three wolves. After I get red, I will decide which way to go depending on the situation. If the other side invades with five people in a group, just let the two of you out of the jungle. I will directly switch with the opponent and there will be no fighting in the early stage." Xiaotian.
Click on the signal on the map.
"Okay, if the opposite side has a scanning line of sight, the Ice Girl can fill in the eye in the river in 1 minute and 20 seconds." Zhang Xiaowen said.
The left hand responded immediately.
In the headset, ym had already completed the opening communication before the air wall disappeared.
Silently listening to everyone's conversation, I was also thinking about the subsequent line-up ideas.
Since he knew that the bottom lane would be tested in this game, he had to play more steadily. Kai'Sa had to ensure his health in the early stage, and his false eye had to be used in the triangular grass to supplement his vision.
While waiting to go out, he also took a glance at the talents of his teammates.
I was a little surprised when I saw that Su Chen's Stoneman Master was equipped with the Arcane Comet of the witchcraft system and had Gathering Storm in his talent. Shouldn't playing with meat bring Resolute?
But he didn't ask. Su Chen had his own reasons for leading him like this.
The five people walked out of the spring and headed towards their respective positions.
The stone man and the centaur each occupy a place in the upper half of the area, while Kai'Sa and Feng Nu are squatting in the grass on the lower road.
ym's starting position was defensive, but rw on the opposite side did not invade.
Doinb's Akali poked her head into the jungle, and was seen by her left hand hiding in the grass, but Akali just kept an eye near the big bird pit, and then exited the jungle.
Level 1 is safe and sound.
At 1 minute and 25 seconds, the wild monsters are about to be refreshed, and the troop line is almost online.
Crouching in the grass, checking the positions of everyone on the map, I walked around to the lower half of the area with my left hand, and inserted a false eye in the blue buff camp, but I couldn't see the jungler's whereabouts.
This also shows that the opponent Zach is likely to open in the top half.
After being mentally prepared and setting his sights on the road, he discovered a strange scene.
When the soldiers were about to arrive, Su Chen's stone man was not online, but had already invaded the opponent's wild area and found Zack who was already farming the big bird!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"The Stone Man did not go online at level 1, but instead chose to invade the red side's jungle area, wless the rhythm of jungle farming!"
Faced with this behavior of the stone man, rw obviously did not react.
Aguang's Mundo was still looking for the location of the stone man in the grass on the road, but he didn't expect that the opponent had already entered his wild area.
doinb controlled Akali and wanted to help Zach drive away the stone man, but the ice girl in her left hand had already taken the corruption potion, and exchanged blood with Akali despite the attack of the minions, entangled the latter's actions.
Suffering attacks from wild monsters, and not knowing the skills learned by level one Golems, Flawless had no choice but to forcefully use Punishment to eat the big bird.
But Su Chen quickly saw the opportunity. The stone man waved his big hand and slapped a bird with residual health to death. Then he threw q [earthquake fragments] on Zach's body. The arcane comet fell from the sky and killed him again.
A little bird.
The stone man, who had stolen his movement speed, rushed into the wild area without giving Mundo, who was running from the top road, a chance to outflank him.
Zach failed to get a full f6 at level 1, and failed to upgrade to level 2. In addition, he used punishment in advance, and the rhythm of farming was completely messed up!
"Here, is this so disgusting? This Zack is level 1 and used Punishment in the jungle by himself, but he still hasn't reached level 2. How is this going to work? I'll go help him eat the red." Xiaotian also reacted quickly.
After the troops finished brushing the three wolves and reached the second level, they went straight to the opposite red zone and pocketed the red buff that had been beaten to less than half health by Zack and used Punishment to pocket it.
Flawless didn't expect that a stone man had just walked away from the opponent's front foot, and the men and horses invaded from the back foot. He felt his head was a little hot.
"Zach couldn't be caught three minutes ago, you two can rest assured." Xiaotian said easily.
I witnessed the series of actions of my top and jungle players in the bottom lane, and I had an indescribable feeling.
No wonder Su Chen told him not to worry about ganking. He had already thought about his feelings. This time, he would set out to invade the opposite jungle area in order to disrupt Zach's rhythm and relieve the pressure on the bottom lane.
As a top orderer, doing this is very risky.
I withdrew my gaze, knowing that I would no longer have the pressure of being caught in the early stage, so I went online side by side with Feng Nu and faced rw's bot lane.
…
The stone man who wandered around the wild area returned to the line again.
Because level 1 Mundo didn't take any troops, he went to the wild area to surround the stone men.
So their experiences are equal.
After meeting online, Aguang controlled Mundo to cross the military line, and after gathering the grip of immortality, he walked towards the stone man.
In this round, he brought a starting outfit with three healing orbs and red potions. Coupled with Mundo's passive life recovery effect, his main focus was to rely on the lane.
In the early stage, he wants to find a stone man to exchange for some health. It is best to consume all the opponent's mana. In this way, Mundo will basically be a sledgehammer against a stone man without mana.
However, facing the pressing Mundo, the Stone Man did not retreat. After using the Q skill to make up for the remaining health soldiers to gain movement speed, he directly started turning back and forth among the small soldiers.
Level 1 Mundo's ax was separated by the soldiers and could not hit the stone man at all. Moreover, Mundo, who was blocked by the line of soldiers, received concentrated fire from the soldiers after touching the stone man.
The Stone Man and Mondo were circling back and forth in the military line like the King of Qin circling a pillar. I couldn't help laughing while watching the commentary.
"The superiors on both sides danced a waltz in the military line, and the dance was very elegant."
Aguang Zai circled around for a long time and found that he had missed three soldiers and had not yet encountered the stone man. He suddenly felt that this behavior was a bit stupid, so he could only go back to touch up the enemies first, planning to upgrade to the second level and then suppress the people.
But Mundo's front foot was upgraded to the second level, and Xiaotian's men on the back foot, with red buffs, rushed over with e [Destroying Charge] and kicked Mondo on the back!
At the same time, the Thing threw earthquake fragments on Mondo, and the Arcane Comet hit Mondo's head, slowing down at the same time.
Faced with YM Ueno's mixed doubles, Aguang didn't dare to neglect. Mundo handed over Flash and fought back to the defense tower. His condition was a bit miserable.
"What the hell? If you choose a stone man, do you still have to catch waves at level two? Shouldn't you continue to counter-jungle after taking the red buff?" Aguang muttered in a low voice.
However, even though he was hit with a flash, Mundo drank a bottle of red potion and relied on the recovery effect of the three healing orbs to recover quickly.
It's just that because of this wave of gank, the Stone Man accumulated a lot of troops in the early stage. When he reaches level 4 and pushes the troops into the tower, he can easily return to the city to replenish his status.
After seeing that there were no collisions on the road, the director also adjusted the camera again.
After Xiaotian's men finished catching and hit the road, they chose to return to the city to replenish their status, and then went straight to their own jungle area to defend the red. Wless had just finished brushing the toads, and Zach also returned to the city to replenish his wave status.
The ice girl on the left hand side of the middle lane has been constantly pushing the lane and changing blood with her entry-level outfit of Corruption Potion. Doinb's Akali found a wave of opportunities at level four.
After a set of combos, the ice girl's health dropped to the dangerous level, and at the same time, e [Falcon Dance] was already attached to the ice girl.
But the left hand was prepared to retreat in advance, and Ice Girl's e [Glacier Path] had already been pushed under her own defense tower.
Akali will follow her into the tower after this second wave of falcon dance, and the ice girl is still pinching the flash to no avail.
doinb made a judgment and did not choose this risky behavior. Instead, after clearing the soldiers, he disappeared into the shadow of the defense tower.
But Akali did not return to the city. Instead, she drank the last bottle of red potion, restored her health to above half health, and then circled into the wild area from behind the defense tower.
From God's perspective, Akali's movements are not visible to the camera.
"Akali at level 4 did not choose to return to the city, but went around to the bottom lane. doinb chose the timing of this wave very smartly!"
"Ym's ward position just disappeared, and there was a wave of red pushback lines in the bottom lane. Kai'Sa and Feng Nu didn't notice Akali's whereabouts!"
Although level three Kai’Sa and Feng Nu had exchanges with their opponents in the early stage, it was actually very difficult for both teams to kill them.
When rw's bottom lane was harassed by their own jungler in the early stage, they were also worried that ym's midfielder would catch them first, so they played more conservatively.
On the contrary, Kai'Sa, with Icathia's Heavy Rain, took control of the line.
I was thinking about finishing the line and returning to the city to get equipment, but I didn't expect the murderous intention hidden in rw.
The moment Kai'Sa finished using her Q skill to clear the line, Lulu flashed directly and turned her into a sheep!
Akali also fought out of the grass, flashed q [Cold Shadow] to slow down Kai'Sa, and then hung e [Falcon Dance] on her body.
Startled, she dodged and pulled away immediately after transforming into a sheep, but Akali's second level E followed up and killed the ignited Kai'Sa, gaining first blood!
