A purple-black "dog head" icon appeared on the fifth floor of the blue square omg, and was quickly locked.
It is none other than Nasus, the god of death in the desert!
In the commentary box.
"The selection of nd's Sword Girl really didn't have any effect. Of course, I can't blame Sword Girl. Omg didn't hold up in other positions, and Sword Girl couldn't exert her strength. Omg obviously changed her mind in this game..."
Miller and Wawa were talking, but the hero who appeared on the fifth floor of omg interrupted their conversation.
The voices in the commentary box stopped suddenly, and there was a brief silence.
Among the audience, the originally noisy voice completely disappeared at a certain moment.
Then an even louder noise quickly erupted!
"Dog head?"
"No way! Did omg make a mistake and choose the dog head?" The doll said loudly after he came to his senses.
Miller also said with some hesitation: "Isn't it the wrong choice?"
At this time, the director's camera was staying on Xiao Wu, who was selecting the candidate, and then switched to Lu Chen.
The expressions of both of them were quite calm, and there was no reaction change that would occur after choosing the wrong hero.
This can be regarded as a disguised response to Miller's question. It seems that omg is indeed going to choose the dog head.
Wawa said: "You should have chosen the right one, you should have chosen the right one. OMG, I should have chosen the dog-headed one!"
After saying that, I laughed.
"I really didn't expect this!"
Miller then said: "Don't tell me, I didn't expect that the audience, nd, actually took out a Desert Reaper. Is this a secret weapon prepared by OMG for the finals?"
"How long has it been since we last seen this hero in a game?"
Wawa replied: "It's been several years! By the way, Miller, do you think this dog head might be the jungler, and OMG is the prince's top laner?"
"I don't think it's possible. They should be specially selected to hit big trees. Don't tell me, it's really possible. The dog's head can hit big trees without any pressure." Miller said.
In the official event live broadcast room, the moment the dog's head was locked, the barrage had already exploded, blocking the entire live broadcast screen.
"Holy shit, what the hell is this? Omg are you just putting off the finals to make ends meet?"
"Brothers, there is a dog!"
"Let me tell you, this thing doesn't just hit a big tree casually."
"Lu Shen, it has to be you, you will have a big job in the LPL finals."
"Lu Shenda played a few tricks in the rankings the day before yesterday. I didn't expect that he would really dare to choose in the game!"
"All I can say is, I'm so happy!"
"How many times have I told you to call the Desert God of Death outside!"
"Turns out he's a barmate from the Dog Head Bar. I'm so disrespectful!"
"land, real life is too satisfying, do you want to make yourself unhappy in the game?"
"2333, you guys are going to laugh me to death!"
"..."
Back to the game, both sides still have no choice for the fifth floor of rng.
The last counter position of the red side was given to rng mid laner Xiaohu.
"Then Xiaohu's place should be the plane. The plane is a very stable carry point, and I think the plane is not afraid of the opponent's lineup." Wawa said.
"Yeah!" Miller nodded.
"It's also possible to use Yanque. I think Xiaohu's proficiency is very high with these two heroes."
"The plane should be more stable, and then if the rock bird..."
With that said, RNG locked on Lucian, the Holy Lancer, with a few seconds left in the selection countdown.
"Hey, Lucian!"
"Lucian's words are a bit arrogant, and the fault tolerance rate is lower than that of Yanque. With Lucian, maybe he wants to be more proactive in the early laning!"
Doll Miller was a little surprised, but not too emotionally disturbed.
After all, the top dog leaders have been selected, and your Lucian mid laner is still in the regular selection after all.
After the BP is completed, both parties exchange heroes and come to the one-minute countdown in front of the loading interface.
On the big screen at the scene, the camera cut through the players in various positions on both sides one by one, and everyone's expressions were relatively calm.
rng team voice.
Mala Xiang Guo said: "Hey, Yan Junze, this guy chose a dog-headed guy, he obviously looks down on you, so why don't you kill him!"
"I can't do it, I can't do it. How can I, a big tree, do something to others?" Letme said.
That's what he said, but letme's expression at this time was obviously much more relaxed than when he saw Lu Chen choose Sword Girl in the last game.
After all, it’s a laning battle, so it’s so easy and stress-free!
As for whether the dog head will develop too well, it will be none of his business when the time comes to kill him one by one, nd, it will be considered a success if he is not killed alone.
After the one-minute countdown, the coaches of both teams came to the center of the stage to shake hands and greet each other, and the game entered the loading interface.
Blue square omg, top laner dog head, jungle prince, mid laner snake girl, bottom lane Xia plus gem.
Red square rng, top lane big tree, jungle barrel, mid lane Lucian, bottom lane small cannon and bull head.
The second round of the 2017 LPL Summer Split finals is about to begin.
...
During the slightly longer loading process of the final, the fans on site were noisily cheering for the two teams, and the topic among the commentators on stage involuntarily turned to Goutou.
Wawa and Miller were very interested in talking about the pros and cons of the hero Dog Head.
Another more interesting place is naturally the Desert Death.
The old friends of the Goutou Bar, as soon as they saw omg selected the Goutou, they opened the post bar, entered the Goutou Bar and started posting like crazy, expressing their excitement at seeing the Goutou competition.
This is the finals of the lpl summer split!
The Dog Head Bar, which was usually a little deserted, was quite lively at this time, with new posts being posted one after another.
But most of them are themed posts that express excitement like "Brothers, watch lpl, it's a dog-head match", "nd choose a dog-head game in the lpl finals".
This type of post generally has more people posting and fewer people replying.
There is one post, however, and the number of replies has increased rapidly. From omg to selecting the dog head, it has only taken a few minutes since the game was loaded, and hundreds of replies have been added.
The title of the post is [I saw OMG’s Lu Shen played bullshit continuously in the rankings today. Did you guys say there might be bullshit in the finals in a few days?].
The post was made four days ago.
As of today before the start of the LPL finals, there were only about 10 or 20 replies to the post.
Basically, from a technical point of view, we carefully analyze and discuss whether this version of the dog-head game is feasible.
Most of the conclusions are that the big bugs and big trees that are the mainstream in this version are developed casually, and I don’t know about other aspects.
After Lu Chen just selected the dog head, this post was quickly pushed up.
After the serious replies, there were all replies from the "great prophet".
Occasionally there are replies such as "The anti-stress tour group came here" and "The scapegoat tour group came here".
After Lu Chen selected the dog head, the major online platforms and the circles related to League of Legends also became lively.
Heroes such as Teemo and Garen, who are popular in the public and unpopular in the final game, will inevitably trigger a frenzy of discussion every time they enter the professional arena, let alone in an event of the level of the LPL Finals.
Dog heads naturally fall into this category.
...
Back to the game.
Entering the game, both sides were still lined up along the river, and no one had any thoughts of invading the opponent's wild area at the first level.
At this moment of explanation, the audience's attention is naturally focused on the dog head.
"Look at the summoner skills of the dog head here!" Miller said.
"nd here I brought teleportation and sprinting, but not flash!"
In fact, according to Lu Chen's original intention, he wanted to use Flash to sprint.
But this is a game. The top laner can do without flashing, but he cannot do without teleportation.
Unless you are playing a very fast hero like Quinn, you don't need to use flash.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen gave up flashing and chose to sprint.
As for whether he would be targeted by the opponent's jungler if he didn't bring flash, he wasn't too afraid of that.
At this time, the cornerstone talents of the ten heroes from both sides popped up right below the big screen.
"Let's take a look at the cornerstone talents of both sides. nd, the dog headband's Immortal Grip is also relatively conventional." Watanabe said.
"Hey, Snake Girl is a little different here. The one in the previous one is Wind Rider, and the one in this one is Hellfire!"
"Then he still has to suppress the line, so he won't be thinking more about team battles!"
Then, Miller said: "Then OMG played around the middle in this game, and the jungler probably won't care about the top lane."
"The original intention of nd choosing Dog Tou is to let him play alone on the road."
"As for why I didn't choose the big bug, I probably still want to keep the three-core lineup that OMG usually likes to use. The dog-headed Q can also count after being stacked."
"That's right!" The doll nodded and said.
After showing off the cornerstone talents of both sides, the director popped up a new message box in the lower right corner of the large screen next to the mini-map.
Miller read: "The last time Kotou appeared as a top laner in the LPL was in the LPL regular season between PE and ep.hk. It was already nearly 1,200 days ago."
The doll then said: "It's been more than three years, these names sound so long ago."
"Yes, you see, teams like PE and ep.hk have already disappeared into the history of the LPL."
It has to be said that the director was very strict, adding words such as "as a top laner" in the message box, because in an LPL regular season in 2015, we.a had selected a top support player.
The game reaches 1 minute and 40 seconds, and the wild monsters are refreshed.
In this game, the prince of world6 chose a red buff to start the game, and helped the jungle in the bottom lane.
Although the game is to be played from the middle to the bottom, world6 still chose an opening idea of playing from the bottom up.
This is naturally to take care of the weak dog head in the early stage when brushing into the upper half of the area.
As long as Kotou reaches level 6, rng the two heroes Ueno Dashu and Wine Barrel, with no control and no burst damage, even if Kotou does not flash, there is nothing you can do with Kotou.
On the other side, the wine barrel of Mala Xiangguo also chose to open the red buff, and farmed from top to bottom.
This also means that he has no idea about dog heads in the previous levels.
Of course, Malaxiang Guo saw that Lu Chen did not bring flash in this game, but he still chose to start from top to bottom.
Like in the last game, when he ganked Lu Chen's Sword Girl at level 3, it was actually more to relieve Letme's laning pressure, not to say that he had to catch Lu Chen to death.
Before the finals, Malaxiangguo studied a lot of Lu Chen's game videos, and he found that Lu Chen's aggressive laning style concealed an extremely strong anti-gank awareness.
In other words, Lu Chen is rarely caught to death by junglers in games, very rarely.
In the semi-final between omg and edg, the factory director obviously knew this, but his handling was not as good as Mala Xiangguo. In addition, edg's usual style of resisting pressure on the road, the factory director chose to ignore mouse directly.
This led to the fact that in the first two games, Mouse was so overwhelmed by Lu Chen that he was numb, and after the two games, he was completely unconscious.
As for letme, it is obviously much more comfortable to play.
In this game, letme was facing a bullhead. Mala Xiangguo felt that you could never be crushed by a bullhead, so why not just stop playing this game, so he chose to open in the upper half and focus on Uzi in the bottom lane.
When letme's big tree helped the wine barrel clear the jungle, the rng bottom lane duo went directly to the bottom lane and began to push the lane.
The bull's head pulls the first wave of minions on the blue side together, and Earth Crush (q) knocks all six minions away.
The small cannon is equipped with explosive sparks (e) on the back row soldiers, and explodes in four directions. The explosion damage affects all six soldiers.
Coupled with the explosion damage when the E skill passively kills a unit, the RNG bottom lane duo quickly cleared out the first wave of minions on the blue side.
When Xia and Gemstone helped the prince get the red buff and came to the line, all their first wave of soldiers were dead, and the six red soldiers were about to enter the tower.
Obviously rng's bottom lane plan was to quickly push away the first wave of soldiers. A few minutes later, when omg's jungle prince finished the upper half of the area and came to the lower half again, the bottom line of soldiers happened to be pushed back to rng
Over there.
This is also a little trick used by the bottom lane players in the game when the junglers of both sides are not in the same half zone at the start, so there is no need to help the jungler.
And as soon as he came online, he faced six tower soldiers who were not all full of health, which also increased the difficulty of Xia's last-hitting attack.
Fortunately, Ma Ge and Xiao Wu cooperated well. This first wave of soldiers only missed one and made up for five.
On the top road, I knew Dashu went to help Wine Barrel clear the jungle, but Lu Chen did not choose to push the lane.
First of all, the speed of pushing the line is too slow for the level 1 doghead. Even if you learn e at level 1, the speed of pushing the line is far less than the speed of two people pushing together.
If the line at level one is not pushed fast enough, it will easily be stuck by the opponent's top order, and you will not be able to push it back at the time you want.
Secondly, he didn’t bring flash after all. Even though he knew that RNG’s Jungle Barrel started in the top half, who can guarantee that Malaxiangguo wouldn’t kill him and give him a second-level gank.
The player Mala Xiangguo is a well-known gank maniac, and he often creates some incomprehensible ganks.
Lu Chen is rarely caught to death by junglers in games. He relies on enough caution, not luck.
In many scenes where he aggressively presses people, he is sure to run away from the enemy jungler's gank, or control the opponent in 1v2, instead of mindlessly pressing people.
Dashu helped Jiugong finish the jungle, and when he went online, letme found that the front row of soldiers on both sides had already lost health. The dog head had been online for a while, and he had not touched the line of soldiers at all.
A thorn hit the big tree hard (q), and after taking away the three bloodied blue front-row soldiers, letme let out a sigh of satisfaction.
This is not an exaggeration. In the regular season bo3 against OMG in early August, and in the first game of the finals that just ended, in these four games, letme and Lu Chen faced each other. In no game did the first three pawns be captured.
of.
Since Lu Chen entered the professional arena, in many games, the top laner against him has often been unable to complete the first wave of troops.
If Lu Chen uses his long hand to defeat his short hand, his opponent's first wave of soldiers will basically not be able to capture any of them.
"This stupid hero like Kotou is really weak!" Letme thought in her heart.
