October 4th, the second match day of the group stage.
Today KT will play in the third game against Europe's third seed RGE.
In this game, under the opponent's crazy BP attack, Lin Cheng took out the Captain as an early development point, paired with the Czar in the middle.
KT, who is accustomed to leading the rhythm in the middle and jungle, rarely selects two heroes who are more developed in the middle and top. Only the jungle prince counts as a rhythm point.
KT's AD in the bottom lane is an EZ, and its early combat ability is also very weak. The three lines need a certain amount of development.
To be honest, the lineup of the opponent RGE is a bit weird. The ball-dripping system of Clockwork and Centaur is also reasonable, and the top-hand Captain Rezter seems to be reasonable.
But it feels weird to have Clockwork Garrez in the same lineup.
However, it is true that the top, middle and jungle are very capable in the late stage, and RGE's bottom lane is a combination of Pansen and Kalista, which can make up for the early weakness of the two AP heroes in the top and middle.
Overall, although RGE's lineup is a bit weird, it has Panson and Skateboards in the bottom lane in the early stage to set the pace. In the later stage, there are two magic cores, and there is cooperation between the heroes. The lineup seems to be pretty good.
The audience has begun to look forward to the European big brother's artistic revival. Let's see if this unconventional lineup can overthrow KT.
This game needs development in the early stage, and KT's rhythm is finally not as fast as it was against JD yesterday.
On the contrary, RGE took advantage of the strength of the bottom duo to launch the attack first.
In 3 minutes, the troops cooperated with Panson's initiative and successfully allowed Kalista to get the first blood of the Japanese girl.
However, KT quickly returned the favor.
On the road, Ryze overwhelmed the captain's line, and Lin Cheng won.
Generally speaking, Lin Cheng is rarely pressed, but as long as the opponent dares to press his line, he dares to move!
Just so domineering!
After all, Brother Cheng's position in the team is here, as long as he calls Bo no, he will basically come.
Even if there is a captain who is difficult to cooperate with online.
The prince came up and played Ryze's flash, but Ryze huddled back and waited for a while before coming back online.
As a result, he didn't expect that Bono didn't even leave after waiting for half a minute. He managed to turn around and finally let the captain take the head.
Soon, Pan Sen took the initiative again.
I don’t know if it was because Xiao Yang had eaten too much fried food yesterday, or Tusin was not in good condition today, and had a one-centimeter flash when he ran away.
Kalista once again captured the head of a Japanese girl.
KT's bottom lane was a bit bad in this round.
But despite this, the resources on the court are still under KT's control.
Because the top laner had a TP difference, Bono was very decisive in attacking Xiao Long after he clicked the Divination Flower in Lin Cheng's jungle area to reveal his troops.
RGE's duo also wanted to use lane power to harass the dragon-defying prince, but Lin Cheng used a big move in the top half to block the two retreating positions in the river.
The Japanese girl who was assisting Tu private had already rushed over from the line. The prince let go of the dragon and successfully forced out the duo's flash.
Taking away the first dragon and using a captain's ultimate move for two flashes. Although KT seemed to have no economic advantage on the field, it controlled the rhythm very well.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Cheng buried a bucket in the grass on the top road and crippled Ryze with a sneak attack, allowing Bono to control the vanguard.
RGE refused to accept it, and immediately attacked the bottom lane after the opponent sent the vanguard, and the Japanese girl died again.
KT did not disrupt its own rhythm because of the opponent's rhythm. It still stood steadily and developed, waiting for the arrival of its power period.
Because of the passivity of the vanguard and captain, KT still had some economic lead even though they were two players behind in the early stage.
The two sides fought against the second dragon in the dragon pit. Captain Lin Cheng was not present either. A big move sealed the river and allowed Bono to successfully capture the dragon.
In fact, RGE's duo played very smoothly in the bottom lane in the early stage, but inexplicably because of the top lane captain's TP advantage and ultimate move, RGE couldn't control a single dragon.
RGE is a typical example of all thunder and no rain.
It looked like a lively fight and they had a head advantage, but they couldn't get any resources, and the rhythm of the game was still in KT's hands.
Even the audience can see that RGE can only catch and kill the living girls through GANK, but several times after the team gathered, they were either forced to retreat by the captain's ultimate move, or they were consumed by the continuous barrels and EZ Czar.
Once the situation was over, all the RGE pilots were frightened when they saw the tsar and prince on the opposite side pressing forward as if they were preparing to start a group.
In this kind of pulling and pulling, KT has always taken advantage, and RGE has been completely led by the nose.
You must know that RGE still has Pantheon and Kalista who are very strong in the early stage, and Clockwerk is not weak in the early and mid-term when paired with troops. However, the output of KT's three C positions in the early stage without equipment seems to be lower.
However, even so, KT still firmly controlled the rhythm.
After the third dragon was refreshed, KT already had good frontal combat capabilities. The EZ two-piece set was formed. Lin Cheng's captain also made a two-piece set of three blue-sucking knives because of the first blood tower.
In this wave of team battles, KT changed its previous strategy of pulling the dragon, and the prince directly entered the field to start the team battle.
Lin Cheng's captain did not zoom in at the first time, but waited until his teammates started a team battle before dividing the battlefield.
Clockwork and Ryze were separated in the back, and there was no way to bypass the captain's ultimate move, causing KT to instantly kill Kalista from the front.
Although the Centaur's ultimate move frightened the three of them, there was no one to compensate for the output, which led to the collapse of the RGE team battle. Clockwork and Ryze sold their teammates and ran away.
After this wave, KT already has a huge advantage.
It’s not that there’s a huge economic gap, but that the teamfight coordination between the two sides is simply not on the same level.
Lin Cheng's captain's ultimate move can divide the battlefield every time, making it difficult for the opposite C position to find an output position. After several consecutive waves of RGE, there is almost no chance for all members to have output space.
KT was still in no hurry and prepared to give his opponent a fatal blow in his Dragon Soul team battle.
RGE finally cooperated under the desperate situation. The men and horses forced the ball to break up KT's formation, and pulled three big moves.
However, Clockwork's ultimate move only knocked off the bloodskin of the three people on KT's side.
The commentator even discovered at this time that the new European King Larsson's outfit was very strange.
In LPL and LCK, many of the first items are Luden, which gives good combat effectiveness when there are many of them. However, European mid laners are accustomed to releasing Seraph first.
Larson chose the Seraph as the first item, not to mention the fact that the second item was the Holy Grail, and the third item was going to be a censer.
The clockwork of the Incense Burner and Holy Grail refreshed the audience’s understanding.
This is much more outrageous than Xiaohu’s three-piece suit!
If Xiaohu behaves like this, he will probably be hacked until he retires.
Although the RGE lineup has Ryze to supplement the output, Clockwork's pure tool support Kalista is really incomprehensible.
The incomprehensible result is that even though the team battle with three RGEs was wound up, it still ended in a rout, and was directly defeated by KT.
Taking advantage of the trend, KT won the Baron, and after a wave, the whole team began to operate steadily.
RGE's bottom lane and jungler had little output in the later stage, and it was a torture for their teammates. In the last wave of team battles when KT ended the game, Larson even only dealt 36 points of damage.
In this way, even though KT chose a lineup that they don't often use, they still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game and won their second victory in the group stage.
In fact, they not only controlled the rhythm on the court, but also controlled the opponent's equipment.
Larson's outfit is impossible to come up with without some understanding of the game.
