The two jungle heroes in the KT lineup also made Taobo a little dizzy, and he struggled with the final choice for a long time.
Although Taobo prefers the opponent to be the top laner of the blind monk, but who has much experience in playing the top laner of the blind monk these days?
In hundreds of games in 369 ranking, you may occasionally encounter the top laner Lee Sin once or twice. It’s hard to say the level of your opponent. It doesn’t matter whether you have experience in this kind of laning or not.
It's easier to say in the lane, after all, the blind monk is not even a sewer hero in the top unit, but it's different when it comes to the upper and jungle conjoined units on the opposite side.
Blind Sin and Garexai, these two explosive heroes capture people together and you will know the fate of 369 just thinking about it.
For a moment, I couldn't think of which hero was suitable for the situation at hand, but Taobo finally used Ornn in the last resort.
If you don't make a decision when something happens, it's over.
The two sides began to exchange heroes.
Lin Cheng first returned the Aphelios in his hand to Aiming, and then exchanged the Czar and Kuro's Blind Sin. The other teammates also got their own heroes.
When there were only about 20 seconds left in the countdown, Lin Cheng suddenly made an exchange with Bono again, and got the Rex.
There are twenty seconds left, and the two sides can no longer exchange heroes.
Zeyuan: "Well, it is indeed the blind monk in the top lane. I don't know what the effect will be when facing Ornn... Hey! Changed again! Excavator top laner? Is he so cool? Brother Chengzi started to do acrobatics!"
Remember: "This can't be changed anymore! It's really the top lane of the excavator! Originally, the top lane of the blind monk was enough to make a living, but I didn't expect Brother Chengzi to be able to go further."
Zeyuan: "If I remember correctly, Rek'Sai has never appeared in a position other than the jungle since the revision. Let's see what kind of effect Brother Chengzi can achieve today."
Tong Xi: "The top laner of the Excavator is equivalent to an assassin. Is it really easy to beat Ornn? And if you can't play an advantage online, Rek'Sai's effect is completely incomparable to that of ordinary warriors."
I remember laughing: "It can only be said that Brother Cheng is in the atmosphere this time. Brother Shai can develop Kalista's top laner. What happened to Brother Cheng's entire excavator top laner?"
"Fuck! Top order excavator, I really didn't expect that."
"Laughing to death! The commentator analyzed the top laner Blind Sin for a long time, and found out that the excavator was the top laner."
"Brother Cheng, is he going to imitate Teacher Shai and start doing scientific research?"
"If you can't beat 369 anymore, you can retire."
"Four BAN top laners, and finally succeeded in forcing Brother Cheng Zi to use the unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box."
"This is not a sewer, this is a top laner at the graveyard level."
"Brother Chengzi cares for the disabled and digs out a hero from the grave to compete with 369."
······
The lineups of both sides are selected.
Blue side KT:
Top road: Cheng (Void Burst Beast, Rek'Sai)
Jungler: Bono (Blind Monk, Lee Sin)
Middle: Kuro (Desert Emperor, Azir)
Bottom lane: Aiming (the solemnity of the waning moon, Aphelios)
Support: Tusin (River King, Tahm)
Red square TES:
Top road: 369 (Flame of the Hidden Mountain, Ornn)
Jungler: Karsa (Troll King, Trundle)
Middle: Knight (Brave Bombardier, Kuchi)
Bottom lane: Jackeylove (Bounty Hunter, Miss Fortune)
Support: Yuyanjia (Soullock Warden, Thresh)
Originally, if KT's top laner was replaced by a tank or a heavy warrior, it would have been a more three-dimensional lineup, but the presence of Rek'Sai made the commentators not know how to analyze it in depth.
Although all the Rek'Sai on the field in recent years have appeared in the jungle position, there are all kinds of monsters in RANK, and there are also players who specialize in using single-line Rek'Sai to gain points.
There is a top lane master in the Korean server who specializes in Rek'Sai. At the beginning of the season, Lin Cheng encountered him a few times in ranked. Later, as his points went up, Lin Cheng rarely encountered such a cool top laner as Rek'Sai.
.
As far as Lin Cheng's own feelings are concerned, top laner Reksai is actually not weak in laning, and can even be said to be stronger than most traditional top laners.
Speaking of which, Rek'Sai's skill mechanism itself can be used as a top laner.
Rek'Sai's early burst was so high that even Lin Cheng was shocked when he first faced off. He really didn't expect that the level three burst of this thing would be higher than that of the Red Angry Crocodile.
Moreover, Rek'Sai has no shortage of recovery methods online. The Rage and HP regeneration mechanism combined with W's short CD can be used to recover by repeatedly escaping to the ground, and the battery life is very good.
Tunnels can also provide displacement that can be used repeatedly. Laying out good tunnels will make it difficult for Rek'Sai to be ganked. This is an ability that most top laners envy.
However, since the laning is so good and you are not afraid of being caught, why can’t that guy with unique skills beat the Korean master and not be able to advance?
Because Rek'Sai's shortcomings are also very obvious, regardless of the laning, Rek'Sai's role in teamfighting is completely incomparable to that of the average top laner.
It's easy to win in lane, but hard to win in games.
Rek'Sai is like a self-destructing truck when playing in a group. It's the kind of character that you can't even think of coming out of. He can't do seven in and seven out like a heavy warrior, and he can't steal output from the side like a long-hand laner.
Moreover, Rek'Sai is very good at flashing. When he is not flashing, it is difficult to reach the opponent's C position in a team fight.
If you were in the jungle position, you could also use Rek'Sai's strong GANK ability to drive the rhythm, but Rek'Sai's position as a top laner would be very awkward.
Entering the field in a team fight is a self-destructive charge, with half the probability of replacing the opponent's C position, and half of the probability of giving it away. This kind of top laner not only makes the opponent wary, but also makes teammates always on guard.
In the game, Rek'Sai basically made a resurrection armor immediately after releasing his jungle knife. This shows how dangerous this thing is when entering the field.
Although Kang Dongxun had doubts about Reksai's room for performance in this game, he finally agreed with Lin Cheng's choice.
In the training match, Lin Cheng used a lot of weird top laners, and Reksai also played. At that time, he faced the opponent's four-guarantee-one lineup.
Lin Cheng's Rek'Sai will self-destruct every time he enters the team. As long as he can lower the opponent's status, his teammates can still fight. Once the opponent's core is replaced, it will be even more profitable.
The same principle applies to this game. Taobo's output pressure is all on the double C. As long as Lin Cheng can change one, he will complete the task.
The key is that with the cooperation of Blind Sin, Rek'Sai has a lot more room to play.
With Flash Appearing, Rek'Sai and the blind monk can easily kill the C position when entering the field, and it will be difficult for Thresh to protect the opponent.
On the contrary, KT's Czar has the ability to protect himself, and Aphelios is protected by Tamu. In team battles, as long as Lin Cheng replaces the plane, KT will be easy to fight.
Although Rek'Sai is fragile, his assassination ability is much stronger than that of ordinary warrior top laners.
In terms of runes, Lin Cheng chose the main system of precision: Conqueror, Triumph, Joy, Fatal Blow, and the secondary system of resolute: Explosion, Wind of Resurrection.
The game is loading, and the team members are having their final exchanges.
Bono: "Lin Cheng, look for an opportunity to exchange blood. I'll come up and do something at level three."
Lin Cheng: "You don't have to come. The single giant on the opposite side is easy to kill. I feel like I can kill him alone."
