The Chinese commentator was surprised when he saw the blue side's fourth hand Pike coming out.
Miller: "Pyke? I feel like KT's Pyke is a little overkill. Although Tushin does have Pyke as a support hand, EZ+Pyke will go to jail in the bottom lane. I feel that setting Sett as a support hand is more reliable than Pyke.
Even if Pike hooks these two people online, there is a high probability that he will not be able to defeat them."
Remember: "Hmm~ Let's think about it from another angle. Even if Sett assists KT in the bottom lane, it's impossible for him to have lane rights. If EZ wants to grab lane rights, it can only use a soft support like Karma, but if he really chooses Karma, he is afraid of Pan.
Sen, then just choose Pike to roam early, and use the roaming abilities of both sides' auxiliaries."
Zeyuan: "That's reasonable! DWG's game strategy does not rely on the bottom lane to break through. Beryl, the player, must roam. Pike's roaming ability is also very strong, so let both ADs play on their own in the bottom lane.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw KT's last move picking a poodle.
The commentator was even more confused now.
Zeyuan: "What is this? As soon as the finals came up, KT started to work hard. This is the first appearance of the Lion Dog in this year's World Championship! With the jungle Lion Dog and the support Pike, KT's lineup is outstanding."
Remember: "KT Nosuke seems to want to play rhythm, but I feel that this lineup is a bit strange... I can only say that Bono still has something! In this version, the bear prince is forgotten, and now the poodle jungler has been taken out
.”
Everyone still doesn’t know that this poodle is Lin Cheng’s choice. After all, Seti is more reliable in the top lane.
DWG didn't care what their opponent was going to do. In the end, they locked Ornn on Nuguri, hoping to let Niu Bao handle Lin Cheng's pressure.
It's not like Zefa didn't consider giving Niu Bao a long hand to suppress Seti. Heroes like Jace, Nugu, are also very good at it.
But Lin Cheng's unique skill is to use short hands to beat long-handed heroes. If that happens, it means that the top lane is useless, and the risk is too high.
Players on the field began to exchange heroes.
Zeyuan: "Okay! I chose top laner Ornn against Seti. Coach Zefa trusts Niu Bao very much. You know, Chengzi used top laner Seti to defeat Canna's Ornn in his debut game in LCK."
Remember: "Hey! It seems that Seti is not the top laner... Brother Chengzi, is this the top laner poodle?"
Only then did the commentator realize something was wrong. Until the last twenty seconds of the exchange of selections, the poodle was still on the first floor of the blue square.
Only then could everyone be sure that it was indeed Lin Cheng who used the poodle.
Remember: "Wow! It's really a poodle in the top lane! In my impression, only Bwipo in Europe can use this thing. Brother Chengzi can also do this?"
Zeyuan: "Brother Cheng Zi, Hero Sea, are you kidding me? But it is true that we still don't know what this poodle has to say. KT's lineup is not easy to analyze. In this version, it is a bit beyond the scope of interpretation."
Miller: "Well~ Relatively speaking, DWG's lineup is very solid. If I just look at the lineup, I will definitely lean towards DWG, but I can never look at Brother Orange's heroes with conventional eyes... After all, besides Brother Orange, you also
If you can't find a sword girl who can kill someone, the whole world won't dare to let go."
"It's all right as soon as you get started! Brother Cheng really didn't disappoint."
"Top lane poodle! Did Brother Cheng Zi learn this trick from Brother Cheng at the top of the canyon?"
"I tried beating Ornn with a poodle, and I died twenty times. I jumped over and was pinned down."
"Don't touch the porcelain orange brother with your little tabby cat."
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue side KT:
Top lane: Cheng (Stalker of Pride, Rengar)
Jungler: Bono (Wan Hao, Seti)
Mid laner: Pantro (Desert Emperor, Azir)
Bottom lane: Ai Ming (explorer, Ezreal)
Auxiliary: Tu private (Blood Harbor Ghost, Pike)
Red Square DWG:
Top road: Nugu Sun (Flame of the Hidden Mountain, Ornn)
In terms of runes, Lin Cheng chose the main series of Precision: Conqueror, Triumph, Resilience, Critical Strike, and the secondary system of Dominance: Sudden Impact, Ultimate Hunter.
There is no doubt that the hero Poodle has been on the bench and is now almost extinct in the game. In the eyes of many people, it is not suitable for the rhythm of the game.
However, in Lin Cheng's opinion, there are indeed other better substitutes for the Poodle in the jungle position, but the Poodle in the top lane is actually very unique. This hero's ability to cover the jungle is no worse than Qinggang Shadow.
Moreover, the Lion Dog's early laning ability is very strong, and this thing is not afraid of long-handed singles.
In fact, from the second half of S9 to the Spring Split of S10, the top laner Poodle was still popular in the Korean server for a while. It happened to be the strongest period of the Conqueror. The Poodle relied on the top lane grass to fill up the Conqueror in an instant and could compete with any strong top laner.
I tried it once, but then gradually few people used it.
On the contrary, there are still people playing the top laner Poodle at the top of the canyon. Lin Cheng also encountered this when he was ranking some time ago.
Entering the game, Lin Cheng bought Duolan Sword + Red Potion and went straight to the upper road to stand in the grass in the river to keep his sight.
In the first game, both sides were very stable. There was no collision between their parallel river positions, and there was no five-for-one tragedy on the road in the canyon.
The middle line of troops arrived first, and Panro and Showmaker fought fiercely to grab the line at level one.
However, the Tsar still has an advantage by relying on the sand soldiers at the first level. Pantyro pushed the line first and immediately ran to the opponent's F6 to set up a ward to detect the male gun's opening route.
DWG obviously asked Niu Bao to pick Ornn because he didn't want to face Lin Cheng head-on at the top. The male guns brushed from top to bottom, and the duo's tendency to grab the lane all showed that DWG wanted to protect the bottom lane.
It's not that the Ghost King has a high tactical status, but that DWG wants to release Beryl's Pansen as soon as possible and let the support lead the rhythm.
On the road, Lin Cheng, who was the first to go online, did not choose to pull up the line of troops first. He came up and stood on the top grass first.
Although Niu Bao was very experienced in following the minions online in the direction of the river, he did not expect Lin Cheng to be so ferocious. After the melee minions on both sides began to exchange fire, Lin Cheng directly controlled the poodle to jump towards Ornn who was next to the long-range minions.
With a roar, the poodle flew to Ornn's side. As he swung out the claws of his left hand, Lin Cheng immediately reset his basic attack with his Q skill. The scimitar in the poodle's right hand slashed hard.
Aoun raised the hammer with his backhand, and AQ tried to pull it back.
Since the Lion Dog's Q skill resets the basic attack and increases the attack speed of the next two attacks, the Lion Dog hits the A level one more time when Ornn uses the Q skill.
But Lin Cheng still lost blood in this wave.
Because Ornn has a bone coating, and the poodle still jumped up with the soldiers, but Ornn slowed him down, and took more damage from the minions when he pulled away from the grass.
It seems that Lin Cheng is a bit cruel and unreasonable.
However, Lin Cheng had already expected this.
Let the opponent expand first and watch me ambush him!
