This area in Summoner's Rift is the most important.
These five minutes are often prime time for strong teams to expand their advantages and weak teams to ban their disadvantages.
However, if you think about it from a normal perspective, as an opponent of the Thorn Birds, when you know that your lineup will have a greater advantage in the later stage, you will most likely choose to avoid the battle, delay it until the strong period of your own lineup, and wait for the opponent to become anxious.
Then defeat it.
But the opponent of this Thorn Bird is IG.
Li Luo knows IG very well.
IG is not the kind of team that is willing to hold back for no reason.
So in a sense, the opportunity for Thorn Birds to expand its advantage lies with IG.
Game time is 18 minutes.
Liu Qingsong's Thresh was caught while trying to create vision around Xiaolong.
Baolan's Luo and The shy's Sword Demon are the main combat forces against Liu Qingsong in this wave, and it is difficult for the rest of IG to catch up in the first place.
The Thorn Birds team is also pretty much the same. The map shows that Sword Girl is mediating with Lissandra in the lower half of the area, and Pig Girl and Wine Barrel are all near the top road.
The only one who can really come to support is Li Luo's Kalista.
Fortunately, Kalista's ultimate move has become a natural barrier to protect Thresh. In fact, this is not the first time Li Luo has used his ultimate move to protect Thresh. Before the last wave of team battles, IG tried to become a support.
The killer is planning to cause trouble for Liu Qingsong.
It was also Li Luo who rescued Liu Qingsong before the team battle.
The IG team was also helpless about this, but after Thresh had been knocked out of part of his health in this wave, the two members of IG did not intend to let Thresh escape from under their noses just like this.
Without saying a word, Baolan decisively controlled Luo Jiao's ultimate move and at the same time used the sword demon at the front to move. Then he flashed and hit Li Luo's Kalista with his body. Moreover, Baolan was very delicate and left a mark on the ground instantly.
There is one real eye and one artificial eye. At the same time, there are also real eyes and artificial eyes on Baolan's body.
This signal seemed to be a warning to Liu Qingsong.
Warn him not to use Kalista's ultimate move to escape and then use the lantern to rescue Kalista.
Liu Qingsong also realized this signal and chose to fight back.
Calculating the time, the wheel mother who was previously developed in the middle lane returned about a wave of troops later than Li Luo's Kalista, and cannot be reached now.
So the situation on the court is actually 2 versus 2!
boom!
After using Kalista's ultimate move to blast the two of them away, Li Luo also recovered his ability to move under Luo's charm.
Slide, start, output, start!
The shy and Baolan obviously know that if they want to deal with Kalista, they must first deal with Thresh, which is likely to cause great trouble to their output.
Even though Thresh had surrendered all his skills, he was quickly killed first because his blood volume was not high enough.
The battle lines between the two sides also unknowingly pulled into the grass at F6 on the blue side.
"I'm rushing, I'm rushing!"
Xiangguo started trying to support from the moment the fight started.
But when he reached the position of the three wolves, Thresh had already been killed first.
Xiye, who was trying to support him from the other side, was detained by Lissandra. Lissandra's soft and hard control made Xiye feel a little depressed.
Xiye tried to counterattack, but Rookie's operation was too delicate. After using the E skill to pull out the air, Xiye's intention to kill alone was basically put on hold.
This means that in a short period of time, the only person Li Luo can rely on on the frontal battlefield is himself.
"Luo's W should be fine."
Liu Qingsong said in a deep voice.
Li Luo didn't say anything. He used his basic attack and sliding steps to reach the grass with continuous jumps.
At the moment when he entered the grass, as Theshy Sword Demon's Q2 sword energy attacked the grass, and when Sapphire Luo also released his W skill on the grass where he was, Li Luo raised his hand and used the after
Immediately hand over Q and slide out of the grass again.
It is worth mentioning that the sliding position Li Luo chose was not to slide towards his second tower, but to do the opposite and choose to slide towards the red buff.
Such an abrupt and disguised thought made the two men's offensive towards the grass fail.
Seeing Li Luo narrowly avoiding Luo's W, many of Li Luo's fans were secretly sweating.
"Brother Luo, aren't you going to do a flash...Theshy's Sword Demon's three-stage Q combined with the E skill hit Kalista, so this flash is going to be flashed...Foresight is transformed and released, and IG and I want to use vision
The idea of temporarily evading Kalista's output has failed! Kalista is still outputting!"
In Summoner's Rift, Li Luo outputs.
In the commentary box, Miller was also outputting.
When Li Luo dodged to avoid Sword Demon's Q3, and then evaded Sword Demon's W skill with a very smooth basic attack after landing in a flash, it meant that Luo and Sword Demon no longer had many countermeasures.
Xiang Guo's Pig Girl hit Bao Lan's Luo Hou with a long-distance ultimate move. The sword demon filled with spears was dealt with first, and Bao Lan could not escape death.
Li Luo once again scored a double kill.
The number of heads changed from five to seven!
The 7/1 Kalista is very oppressive.
"IG gave me a chance, but this is actually a characteristic of the IG team. After all, the head gap between the two sides is actually only four now, and the score of four heads is not much."
Wawa smiled and said: "But Brother Luo should be able to make the third piece of equipment soon. With the additional income of these two heads, maybe Kalista can get it before the next wave of resource groups.
Get your own three-piece suit.”
"The three-piece set... there should be a chance. It depends on whether Brother Luo chooses to do blood drinking or resurrection armor. Resurrection armor is cheaper and the money will be enough, but the output will be a little worse... Hey, I'll be honest.
, Brother Luo’s failure to dodge this wave will actually have a huge impact on the subsequent team battle.”
Miller hit the nail on the head.
There is one sentence that Miller did not say.
He even suspected that IG's move was most likely not a mistake. He even wanted to let Baolan and The shy give it a try. It would be best if they could kill Kalista. If they couldn't kill Kalista, it would be considered a success if they used Kalista's flash.
.
It doesn't matter whether the two of them die or not.
It only takes a few dozen seconds to resurrect after death. After all, even if this wave of Kalista gets a double kill, there are still two heads without a bounty. At the same time, the wheel mother is already in position in the middle line, and the Thorn Birds
It is almost impossible to try to advance to the first tower while IG kills two people.
Why choose Wheel Mom?
It’s not because the wheel clearing speed is fast enough!
Without a military line, there is no way to advance.
The five minutes from the death of the second dragon to the spawning of the third dragon passed by in a flash.
When the IG team gathered together and pressed towards the Xiaolong Pit, the Thorn Birds made the choice to use a tower in the middle to exchange resources with IG.
This choice of avoiding battle was proposed by Li Luo. At this time, his Kalista had no ultimate move or flash. In contrast, whether it was Lissandra, Zach or Sword Demon on IG's side,
The three flashes are all in place.
Li Luo knew that if there was a real fight, his chance of survival would be less than 10%.
The second earth dragon was successfully collected by IG.
The Thorn Birds also got IG's first tower in the middle as they wished.
When IG used Wheel Mom's ultimate move to speed up and try to chase the Thorn Birds, the wine barrel of the Holy Gun Brother was successfully broken.
However, IG’s decisive side came out at this moment.
The Thorn Birds' retracement position can only be in the upper half.
The IG people standing in the middle line went straight into the big dragon pit, obviously trying to use the two earth dragon buffs to directly rush the big dragon.
Now, the thorn bird can no longer sit idly by.
At this time, the emotions of fans belonging to Li Luo and even Thorn Birds were gradually depressed.
Players who don't have a deep understanding of the game are confused now.
They couldn't understand why from the beginning to ten minutes, the Thorn Birds penetrated all the bottom lane and pulled out two defensive towers. They also had an economic advantage and also won the previous team battle.
But with such a huge advantage, why not go to the Xiaolong Group?
You must know that if the Thorn Bird gets this earth dragon, it is actually equivalent to the Thorn Bird getting the first earth dragon. There is no difference in attributes from IG's first earth dragon.
This attribute is really strong. Coupled with Kalista's spear-drawing ability, the thorn bird with the earth dragon can have ideas about the big dragon.
But the Thorn Bird chose to push the tower, and now Baron has been occupied by IG in advance.
Telling them intuitively, this team fight doesn’t seem to be very easy to fight?
I don't know what's going on, it's just... a little weird.
Players who have reached a certain level of understanding of the game feel that they have vaguely grasped the problem, but there seems to be a thin layer of fog on this issue and they need time to think about it.
Only high-level players and even professional players realize what the problem with Thorn Birds is.
Inside the EDG base.
There was no EDG game today, so EDG players chose to watch the game at the base.
In fact, under normal circumstances, the players of other teams are at most waiting for the coach to review the game, and generally don't watch the live broadcast.
After all, everyone usually has training matches scheduled, and the players can clearly feel which team is in good shape recently through the training matches.
It's just that this one is a bit heavyweight, so they will take a look.
At this time, a team battle has broken out in Summoner's Rift.
Xiangguo’s pig girl chose to use her ultimate move to force the group to open up, and cooperated with Liu Qingsong’s hook and backhand control.
However, Bao Lan also made up for himself with a crucible.
Therefore, when Liu Qingsong's dog successfully hit Lissandra, although Rookie was charged, he threw out his crampons before being charged.
As the Crucible made contact with the control, Rookie controlled Lissandra to knock down the second stage of the crampons, flashing W and unreasonably immobilizing Li Luo's Kalista.
At the same time, Zach also jumped up and smashed towards Li Luo. With the help of Wheel Mom's ultimate move, Luo, who activated the ultimate move, also moved very fast, and followed the other people in IG to rush inside.
Everyone on the Thorn Bird side immediately tried to intercept and protect Kalista.
But it is not an easy task.
Although they briefly restrained the sword demon, the others had already rushed to Li Luo's face. When Liu Qingsong threw the lantern across the wall, Rookie and Prince Ning's remaining true eyes were both inserted into it!
Although Holy Gun Brother's wine barrel flashed E in time to collide with the people blocking IG, after a short period of control, the wine barrel became another medium for Zach to exchange Q skills.
The IG team’s wheel mother is also having a hard time.
Everyone else is rushing forward, and Jackeylove wants to follow suit.
But as an adc, you still have to be aware of inexplicable sudden death when charging.
Xiye's Sword Girl stepped forward and cooperated with the two of them, Pig Girl, using Pig Girl's passiveness and fatal rhythm characteristics to maintain a stalemate in the team battle for a long time, and successfully killed Wheel Mom, and at the same time replaced Luo, and
The first life of the Sword Demon was destroyed.
But after everyone on IG returned to defense after completing the cut, Dao Mei still couldn't hold on until the last moment.
In the end, only Thresh saved the dying Pig Girl, and the two successfully escaped.
IG's remaining three players can still move Baron, but Xiang Guo, who is in extremely poor condition, has no capital to fight for.
After the Baron was captured by IG, the IG team took advantage of the situation and destroyed the first tower in the middle.
At this point, the economic gap between the two sides is completely equal.
"IG's strong period has arrived. In fact, it cannot be said that Lao Li's lineup is not good, nor is it that they are not playing well. It is just that IG's backhand on the red side is too good."
Meiko looked at the situation and shook her head slightly.
The Thorn Birds didn't stand a chance.
They were going to get first blood in their opening match.
Losing is actually not terrible. EDG also lost in BO3 games last year.
The key still lies in whether the Thorn Birds know how they lost, and whether they can find a way to break the game in the remaining BO3 games after losing.
"Yeah, this IG is obviously for fighting Kalista, and it's the kind of all-in type. The only function of Wheel Mom's choice is to use a big move in team battles to speed up teammates, and then
You can just die."
Xiaotian also shook his head helplessly: "Xiangguo has indeed arrested Theshy many times, but The shy is quite strange. You see, he seems to have died a lot, but 0/2 is like 2/0.
, no matter how many people die, the suppression force will still be there, this sword demon Brother Luo and the others cannot handle it."
"I feel that if the Thorn Birds want Brother Luo to choose a strong AD to lead the tempo in the early stage, they must have a big core in the top and middle lanes. Things like Dao Mei also play tempo. This Xiye's tempo is obviously not as beautiful as Rookie's.
Sandra is better off."
Everyone in EDG spoke freely, and we discussed each other one by one.
Professional players can clearly see the nature of a certain party's problems from God's perspective.
In this game, Sapphire's Luo seems to be ugly in several waves of follow-up, but in fact, this is not because Sapphire is not playing well, but because the Thorn Birds defend well.
But it is undeniable that the IG team's ability to win this wave of team battles is inseparable from Baolan's decisive fight to avoid Kalista in the jungle.
If Kalista didn't dodge, facing this kind of charge would mean death.
7/1?
17/1 also has the same ending.
This is the shooter.
Game time is 25 minutes.
In the team battle before a wave of high ground, although Li Luo relied on his cooled-down flash to evade the key control and successfully scored three kills, the damage of Wheel Mother also increased at this time.
The two-and-a-half piece wheel ma is one big piece behind Li Luo, but the output environment is completely different from Li Luo's.
Because this wave of Xiye's Sword Girl did not choose to cut in, but chose to cooperate with Li Luo's Kalista to play in the front row, providing Li Luo with output space.
Kalista and Wheel Mom each harvested three heads in this wave of team battles, and the anxious two sides once again briefly shook hands to make peace.
However, in the nearly thirty-minute team battle that followed, the output of both sides was no longer proportional.
Game time is 31 minutes and 17 seconds.
With two roads broken and its economy falling behind by more than 5,000 yuan, the Thorn Birds were unable to recover.
"It's a pity, it's not going to work for us against a strong team like this."
Li Luo shook his head slightly.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. I'll go back and study it, and the next one will be fine. It'll be fine. They say everything is difficult at the beginning, and failure is success. This BO3 is not over yet."
Xiangguo patted Xiye, who seemed to be in a daze, and said, "There is really nothing you can do about this. You have been targeted too many times in the early stage."
"It's still that I didn't handle a few details of the line."
Xiye shook his head slightly and admitted his mistake.
On the other side, at the IG battle table.
"Hahaha, I finally won for once!"
Prince Ning laughed heartily, stretched his neck and kept looking in the direction of the Thorn Birds' fighting table.
"It's not over yet. Is it your first day meeting Brother Luo?"
Rookie's calm words were like a basin of cold water poured on Prince Ning's head.
King Ning was speechless for a moment.
"Think about how to fight next, they won't sit still and wait to be killed."
Jackeylove patted his face and then said.
Although he won this round and got some kills later on, he was really beaten a little unconscious in the early stage.
In the commentary box.
"Let us congratulate IG for winning the game 1-0. I feel that the Thorn Birds are still a little immature. IG is obviously better at handling some of the mid-term situations. I hope they can adjust their mentality during the halftime break."
The doll is also a little sad.
I think back to when Li Luo first joined EDG last year. Although EDG had few setbacks at the beginning of the 2018 Spring Split, it already had the flavor of a strong team.
But the thorn bird...
All-Chinese class...
Is it really not possible?
I wanted to take a day off today, but I didn’t have much energy and felt a little weak. Now I’m very panicked and don’t dare to go anywhere. Guys, you should pay more attention to protection.
