The scene of DRX fixed-point nuclear bomb blasting that was originally expected by the commentary did not appear at all.
Zoe's bubble hit and Giggs' combo are wonderful to imagine, but there is a very important prerequisite for all this.
Vision!
Vision is the lifeblood of a poke lineup.
Even if you can't suppress your field of vision, at least you can't be in total darkness.
But KT has firmly controlled the situation from the early stage, and the dominant KT is best at squeezing the opponent's vision.
This causes the DRX map to be completely dark. In this case, the DRX lineup cannot take advantage of consumption at all.
More importantly, Lin Cheng's top laner Aphelios didn't die even once.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It's not that DRX doesn't target the top lane, but that Lin Cheng handles the lane too well and his teammates are crazy about being a dog on the top lane. He just let Aphelios' equipment crush the whole field and cannot handle it.
Obviously, in terms of lineup, DRX is better at pulling, but the only two waves of dragon team pulling between both sides in the game were dominated by the green knife Aphelios.
Despair! Even if this is the case, can KT still not lose?
The audience at the Korean Open was in mourning, except KT fans.
In the second game, KT still chose a very strange lineup.
It was normal for Lin Cheng to choose Gnar when facing the Crocodiles on the road, and his teammates began to engage in scientific research.
Chaowei adjusted the mid laner Kalista, and the bottom lane duo played Bomberman + Ice. The players on the three lanes all have long hands.
On the contrary, Mai Ge was down-to-earth and chose a very solid lineup.
In the first few minutes of this game, KT was relatively comfortable in the lane, and the three lanes were excellent.
However, KT's lineup was too shaky, especially when facing heroes like Titan in the bottom lane, and it was difficult to counterattack. Young P captured Mr. Dai and Evert in two waves to a score of 0-2.
If Han Bing and Giggs are pushed to the lane, they will simply go to jail. In this case, the KT duo can only choose to bite the bullet and top the lane.
But the result was that the bottom lane was killed in a 2V2, and then another wave of towers came from the opposite center and jungle.
The score was 0-8 in 10 minutes, and the two KT brothers in the bottom lane contributed all the kills.
The Korean live broadcast room is already abuzz.
Just today?
Is KT’s first defeat coming?
KT has never started with a head ratio of 0-8 before.
But attentive viewers also discovered that even though they were 8 heads behind, KT managed to keep the economic gap at just over a thousand points.
DRX focused on the bottom lane to break through, while Little Peanut's Olaf relied on the top half to play.
He knows that his GANK ability is not strong, and he can only help counter-crouch if he leans down. If he can't squat, he will waste his time, so he might as well just attack the upper half of the area and invade.
Last year, Chaowei actually played Kalista in the mid lane under Mike. The midfielder with Olaf is very strong, and Kalista's ultimate move can also be very good in team battles to send Olaf to the back.
Relying on the middle and upper lanes to force Olaf into the jungle, Olaf in turn allowed Gnar to eat Tapi at will. The economy brought by the pressure knife and Tapi forced KT to bite the team's economy.
The two sides are in a temporary stalemate.
Logically speaking, ice-assisted vision is easy to use, but Evert's obsession with vision is too deep, and he feels uncomfortable when there is a black area on the map.
At the 17th minute, after the opponent's view of the river in the lower half was blocked, the assistant did not wait for the CD of the E skill, and just went to the river to ward alone after using W to explore the grass.
As a result, he was arrested again.
It just so happened that DRX’s drawing card Fire Dragon was refreshed.
At this moment, countless self-media outlets thought of headlines about KT’s first defeat.
"Is it cool for Evert, the god of death, to send him to his death with ice against the sky?"
"Black technology? Bad technology! KT's stroke lineup suffered its first defeat this year!"
However, maybe the title has not been edited yet, and these self-media have to change their tone.
Because Han Bing died in battle, DRX directly activated Xiaolong.
Perhaps because there were few opponents, all DRX members gathered together and RUSH Xiaolong did not go out of his way to block the rear view.
The assistant sent Lin Cheng back and forth, and the ward layout was not ambiguous at all. He just left a back ward ward on the triangle grass for Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng's Gnar TP happened to increase in size when it came down, so he jumped out and flashed his ultimate move and shot four of them.
Explode a single bomb perfectly.
DRX was directly wiped out by a wave of attacks.
The situation on the field was reversed.
But he probably played too relaxedly. At the 21st minute, Lin Cheng pushed the lane and chased the crocodile. Seeing the crocodile's E skill go through the wall and into the jungle, his Gnar didn't think much about it and just jumped over with his E skill to prepare.
Looking for a solo kill.
As a result, four people were waiting for him on the opposite side, and Lin Cheng died suddenly on the spot.
After capturing Gnar, DRX tried to activate the dragon, but Mr. Dai's solo blast + ice consumed too much health, so he had no choice but to give up.
Lin Cheng was also very unlucky. After resurrecting, he switched to the bottom lane and prepared to close the line. Before he had time to clear his vision, he was caught by the red angry crocodile hiding in the grass. Seti, who came with the TP, killed Gnar again.
DRX wakes up the baron again, and the assistant comes up and uses W to waste the money, and the baron falls.
Suddenly, the audience in the live broadcast room who were looking forward to KT losing became excited again.
"Not today? Just today!"
"Orange Gornall shocked the blood and sent two waves in a row? Evert Ashe sent a wave that was so bad that it was so bad!"
"Brother Orange is infected with the ginger corpse virus? Go over the mountain and Nal E jumps forward to the crowd!"
"Gods also make mistakes! Brother Chengzi was exposed to the teacher and landed in a different place"
After the opponent won the Baron, KT's situation was indeed not good.
But it must be noted that KT's economy has not been stretched, especially when Lin Cheng shot four and Mr. Dai, who was cracking in the early stage, used his equipment to counterattack and overtake.
Mr. Dai Luden's subsequent actions of holding back his hat paid off.
DRX tried to split-push with the Baron BUFF, but Han Bing suddenly hit Aphelios with his ultimate move from a long distance.
Mr. Dai takes over.
The scientific hell cannon hit Aphelios in the center, and the arcane comet struck down with Luden to directly kill the full-blooded Aphelios.
Kalista decisively throws out Olaf with her big move to start the team and keep others.
Lin Cheng's Gnar pressed forward with 90% anger.
The output core Aphelios was killed, and everyone in DRX was defeated and fled.
The next dragon team battle.
It was Ashe's first ultimate move that hit the crocodile again, and Giggs took over.
Although the crocodile had a lot of health and was not defeated, it was disabled and unable to join the team. KT easily defeated the dragon.
When Ashe's ultimate move improved, she fired another long-range arrow to keep Seti alive, and Gnar and Olaf followed up to complete the kill.
The strength of KT's lineup is finally revealed.
The CD of Ashe's ultimate move is very short, and you can look for opportunities at no cost in the later stage.
If the big move is successful, it means it is easy to open, but it doesn't matter if it is not successful. Anyway, Ashe is not like the usual assistant who just goes in and sends the team away if the group cannot be opened well.
No one expected that the KT duo who gave the most powerful gifts in the early stage would be so eye-catching in the later stage.
Magical crystal arrows are everywhere, followed by scientific hell cannons.
If any one of Ziggs' ultimate moves is exploded, the opponent will be unable to join the team, and KT can also choose whether to follow up according to the effect of the duo's ultimate move to completely start the team battle.
Anyway, the CDs of the duo's ultimate moves are short, so they can be used as consumables.
Torture! The follow-up time was completely a torture session for DRX.
Lin Cheng no longer has to carefully look for opportunities to get around in team battles. He just needs to have a good view with his teammates to watch the duo's performance.
Evert began to clear his name with arrow after arrow, and finally hit Aphelios with another magic crystal arrow at 32 minutes.
Giggs’ ultimate move is three times bigger this time.
Aphelios was blown out of the Demon-Drinking Knife's shield, and Lin Cheng didn't care that he was Little Gnar, so he went directly over the mountain and flashed his boomerang to save people.
All members of KT swarmed forward and easily defeated their opponents, taking advantage of the situation to win the game.
