The 2018 LPL Summer Split kicked off in earnest at Supermarket Plaza, with the opening match starting from the Eastern Conference between IG and JDG.
At five o'clock in the evening, the first day of the first week of the regular season officially started. There was no game in the Western Division where Nake was located, so they enjoyed the opening ceremony at the base leisurely.
During the offseason, not only Snake is doing research, but the major teams are also not idle.
Analysts are not just for show. During the training games these days, Snake also discovered changes in the lineups of other teams. There are really all kinds of things.
After the AD attribute changes in 8.11, many professional teams discovered something fishy.
Under this new version, various routines and understandings are being tried.
When Riot introduced the ultimate talent, it was focused on allowing each hero to find his or her own position and get a chance to play.
I didn't expect that this goal would be achieved today.
In the opening game of the summer split, JDG on the red side showed the audience what art is.
The man wearing armor and looking extremely powerful appeared on the field again.
This made Wei Jiang, who was watching the game live, be distracted for a moment when he picked up the 98K.
Seeing that figure, Wei Jiang couldn't help but think of S5, reminiscing about the lost youth, thinking about the rise and fall of the Tang Sect's honor and disgrace, and also thinking about that arrogant arrow.
That's right, JDG showed off its iron man!
I wonder if IG has the courage to make steel with Vulcan?
Tetsuo is currently in a three-way swing, but finally appears on Toothpaste's hand.
When JDG engaged in this kind of routine in the first game of the regular season, it looked like they were trying to show their big brother in the Eastern Conference a little bit of trouble.
However, their iron man system is obviously not well practiced.
Without proper resource control in the early stage, the combat power in the mid-term was extremely low. JDG's vampires in the bottom lane also had no effect, and the system collapsed.
Jack achieved a superb record of 9/0/4 with a smile on his face.
In just 23 minutes, IG won the first game.
In the commentary box, the big colonel praised IG for a while, such as Jack Broiler is in good condition and IG is as strong as the spring split.
In the second game, JDG defeated IG in 25 minutes.
The senior colonel turned around and praised the toothpaste for its excellent performance and brilliant operation.
In the third game, Toothpaste contributed a record of 0/3/0 in the middle. Like a war correspondent, everyone in the barrage suggested awarding the MVP to the college. It was true that he followed his words.
Even before 22 minutes, IG gave JDG a disastrous defeat.
Judging from this round of competition, it is completely different from the spring competition.
In addition to the infinite shortening of the game duration, whoever masters the advantage in the early and mid-term and then controls the map resources will almost win a one-sided victory.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, VG played against BLG.
BLG also defeated VG 2:1.
Even though the playing styles of these two teams are not that fast, in this version, their game rhythm is still forced to increase.
The audience enjoyed watching it, and the game now is much more interesting than the spring game.
Many unexpected lineups surprised the audience.
AJ had a smile on his face during the post-game interview and kept describing the game just now in plastic Mandarin.
Especially in the last wave, his Mundo rushed directly into the Gate Tower and killed two people in a row.
Incisor Tower couldn't do anything with his Mundo.
In the LPL studio, Colonel Guan said to Wang Duoduo:
"Have you noticed that the pace of this version is really fast? The game is often over in less than 30 minutes."
"I see the same in the LCK games. The lineup that wants to delay the late game will often collapse in the early and mid-term. Then once the map resources are lost, there is no chance for a comeback."
Wang Duoduo kept nodding: "The impact of 8.11 is very great. The Japanese OT has changed from the previous mid laner, to the jungle changes, and now to the AD change, which has made the confrontation in the early and mid-term more intense."
"The pattern of professional leagues has been greatly affected."
At this point, Wang Duoduo's eyes lit up: "However, Snake is originally a strong team that focuses on the early and mid-term rhythm, and its line play ability is the best in the league!"
"I feel like this might be a version that allows them to completely take off!"
The senior colonel introduced the topic: "Tomorrow's Western Conference showdown, the first game is the SOP game, don't miss it."
"To be honest, I am also looking forward to what Snake will be like after 8.11!"
... At the nake base, the team training continued until 11 o'clock in the evening, and the team members went back to the dormitory to sleep.
The outside world is generally optimistic about the sound, and the Snake team also understands it.
This is a good thing, but they are inevitably stressed.
If you don't fight well, wouldn't you become a clown?
On the morning of June 12, Li Hao and the others were doing the same as usual, training, exercising, and eating according to their schedule.
Against TOP, the club did not make too many special arrangements.
The first game of the summer split is of undoubted importance, and everyone wants to get off to a good start.
But the uniform team doesn’t want to create more pressure, so everyone just needs to be steady.
What the Snakes need most right now is stability.
Everyone understands that the most critical point in seeking stability lies in Li Hao.
Judging from the usual training situation, they are not worried about Li Hao's game status at all, they are just worried about his health.
The club also specially arranged two more health consultants to take charge of Li Hao's health condition.
"Brother Hao, how are you feeling today?"
When boarding the team bus in the afternoon, Zuo Wu asked with concern as usual.
Ever since Li Hao returned from injury in the spring game, Zuo Wu has maintained this habit and will keep detailed records.
"Don't worry, it's no problem."
Li Hao responded and boarded the bus.
"There are still activities today, right?"
"right."
Zuo Wu took notes and smiled bitterly:
"The official asked me to help cooperate with the publicity, which will take about ten minutes."
Flandre came up and said, "You don't have to do anything, just stop there, right?"
"Roughly the same."
"That's good. If you give me a small gift, I'll have no problem with it."
"Do you want a figure?"
"Yes!"
Flandre said: "I don't like it, so I can give it to Brother Hao, right?"
Li Hao smiled happily, thinking that this gun was quite capable.
Compared with the relaxed atmosphere on Snake's side, the TOP team's side was relatively tense at this time.
In the team bus, coach Bai Yueya, who had just resigned from FPX and joined TOP during the summer split, was sitting opposite Qiu Qiu and the second Korean brother.
Others stood or sat with their heads turned over.
"Today is the first game of our summer split. Everyone must pay attention and show good condition."
White Crescent Moon said again: "But don't be too nervous."
"After all, the opponent is Snake. Even fans can understand if we lose the game. Of course, this is not to make you lose. If we can kill Snake, won't we make a lot of money?"
"Now let me explain the tactics again."
"Today we use a new version of the system to fight. Everyone must know their own work."
Seeing everyone nodding, Bai Yueya took out his tactics book and reiterated what he said in the club.
"Is there anything wrong Lies?"
"No."
"Where's the second brother?"
The second Korean brother shook his head and made another OK gesture.
Bai Yueya was confident that it was not the first time for the second Korean brother to fight against The King.
Even if you are abused, you can gain experience from being abused.
It is absolutely impossible to be like those rookies in the league who are defeated immediately after coming up.
For example, Jay from TL insisted on performing with The King in the German Cup, but was beaten to a pulp.
In his opinion, these are irrational.
In comparison, the Korean second brother is a relatively stable existence.
… nake came to Super Mall in the afternoon and met many fans holding Snake’s cheering items along the way.
After being used as the official's tool for about fifteen minutes, Li Hao took photos with many fans.
Most of these people were drawn as lucky fans, but what surprised Li Hao was that most of the people who were chosen to take photos with him were young ladies.
Where have all my male fans gone?
When returning to the passage, Flandre relieved his doubts.
"The guy who just asked me to sign an autograph said that one of his friends became a lucky fan, and then gave up his opportunity to a young lady, and that young lady is your fan."
Li Hao suddenly realized.
There is no shortage of licking dogs in this world.
After the promotional event, Li Hao received an official small figure, the cute Fiona, holding a pointer.
At five o'clock, Ren Dong called out Team Snake with a loud voice at the scene.
In front of the auditorium, Shuang Quan and some staff members held the Snake flag high and waved it constantly.
Amid the warm applause and cheers of the audience, Snake's players appeared on stage.
This is the first time for the Summer Split. Although it is not an awards ceremony, it still has a sense of ceremony.
The director's camera scanned the scene, and many fans were shaking support signs in their hands. Some were given by the official, and some were drawn by themselves in front of the square early in the morning.
Therefore, you can see some very bold slogans.
Here, people holding Li Hao’s portrait and ID can be seen everywhere.
However, these young ladies in the LPL are still quite shy. When the camera comes over, everyone will hold up their support cards to block it.
When the TOP team came on stage, they were also welcomed by the audience.
But the popularity of this new army in the LPL is simply not comparable to that of Snake at this time.
As the contestants adjust their equipment, the camera returns to the studio.
The Haier brothers will meet you on time.
"Viewers, welcome to the 2018 Summer Split. The first game in the Western Conference is about to begin."
"I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. This is Snake's first game of the summer!"
"For them who are aiming for a dynasty this season, this will be their first step in the summer."
Miller said with a gentle smile: "I don't know if you have noticed, but I just saw Brother Shengqiang and Lin Weixiang rubbing their hands on the player bench, full of fighting spirit."
"As for Brother Hao"
"Brother Hao is of course the same, and the thermos cup is also the same."
The baby's expression was excited: "When I saw Brother Hao holding a thermos cup, I felt that the second Korean brother would be under a lot of pressure today."
"Yes, the opposing mid laner is afraid of this move."
"Hahaha!"
The Haier brothers were quite excited in the studio.
"Okay, BP has started, SOP is on the blue side."
On the big screen, TOP defeated Kai'Sa, Vampire and Scarecrow continuously. Nake defeated Noshou and Rock Bird.
The third hand is still hesitating.
"Cava cannot be released now. The 8.11 version of Cava has changed a lot, because the AOE damage of the Q skill has been cut off, and the ability to push the lane has been greatly reduced. Now she is no longer a mid lane hero in the traditional sense."
"The rock bird is very popular in the wild area, and the winning rate is rising steadily. It is impossible for Snake to release it."
Miller continued what the doll said:
"TOP is also more cautious here. Scarecrow can cooperate with Lu Lu and go down the road, and then the option of Juggernaut will appear."
"There are people in the LCK who have played it."
"Brother Hao's Juggernaut has already scored two pentakills, and TOP is afraid that Snake will do something cruel in the first game." Snake's last move was to take down Morgana.
"Lucian is released, TOP is locked directly." nake player seat.
They were not surprised at all when their opponent picked Lucian.
"Delaish, German."
Lin Weixiang shouted.
He has practiced this hero many times recently, and Gangzi has also come to the club to provide guidance. Although he is not very proficient in it, it is definitely enough for playing games.
Moreover, this version of German has a very high winning rate.
Another point is that Lucian is strong in the lane, and currently only Draven can compete with him.
On the second floor, Snake chose Qinggang Ying.
Qinggangying now rarely goes to the road, and the probability of jungle is higher.
The white crescent moon is in my eyes.
However, for Snake, he has to consider the single Qinggang Shadow in his hand.
White Crescent Moon shook her head and walked to the second Korean brother.
The second Korean brother nodded again.
The TOP midfielder selected Tetsuo and Dragon Girl.
These two heroes are bound together, basically locking Tetsuo’s system.
The mid-lane Tienan system plays more of a supporting role in the early stage, and has a very strong ability to control the dragon.
If you can cooperate with the dragon girl to capture the first small dragon at the time when the artillery soldiers are around, you can use the dragon soul to quickly push down the first tower, and the other side will not be able to defend it at all.
This system does not emphasize Tetsuo's confrontation in the middle. It doesn't matter how many times he is behind. They will not lack experience.
Therefore, in this weird version, the number of kills in the middle cannot even be a criterion.
The uniforms of many teams became serious when they saw this kind of BP appearing.
By doing this, Bai Yueya can also prevent the Korean second brother from colliding with The King.
If this system can win, it is a strategy to deal with Snake.
If TOP can eat crab, there is no reason why others should not drink soup.
This lineup also has drawbacks. If you can't control the dragon or the river crab, Chun Chun will be useless in the mid-term.
Therefore, TOP may be playing with fire.
"They are really imaginative."
"Let's get the cow head."
"There is no group start in the first three TOP moves. Let's start a group fight with two more moves."
"Get rid of Luo."
"..." Nake selected Niutou during the communication and defeated Luo on the fourth floor.
TOP defeated Lu Lu, and SOP defeated Ryze with one last move.
Chris thought for a moment and said: "Does Xuanjun take Ornn?"
"If you don't choose this one, they will definitely choose."
"It's impossible not to get a hero from TOP."
Flandre said: "I choose Ornn. This Lies should be Alchemy. Actually, I want to do it the other way around. I'll take Alchemy."
"Now Ornn can't beat Alchemy in the early and mid-term lanes, and his ability to lead the lane in the mid-term is not as strong as Alchemy. If I take it here, I can only say to strengthen the team start."
Flandre added: "Of course, I can also use Ornn. There's nothing wrong with playing Lies."
Just when Chris was hesitating, Li Hao said, "Xuanjun, please take the alchemy."
"Kasa and Qingsong are enough."
"It just so happens that he chooses AP top lane, and I can take the assassin."
"They are not that easy to win this game. Once Lucian collapses and Tetsuo cannot control the dragon, their game will be over."
"Ggoong will definitely go to the jungle to help Dragon Girl. I will have more opportunities."
"This one will hit the bottom lane and knock QiuQiu down."
Lin Weixiang smiled: "That's a good feeling!"
Chris immediately agreed: "Okay, let's do it."
Flandre happily got alchemy on the top lane, which was more fun than Ornn.
Rang Di, who was watching the game at RNG, chuckled and said to himself that Flandre was ignorant.
Isn’t it fragrant to hear the sound of a sheep coming and the gate of heaven to open?
TOP indeed picked Ornn on the fourth floor, and they still lacked the last support hero.
There is no doubt that they selected the support with the highest usage rate in the version, and Tahm.nake’s final move was quickly determined.
Shadow of the Blade, Talon!
This male sword was selected, and there were warm cheers at the scene.
However, nowadays, we see a lot of saucy routines. This version has all kinds of monsters and monsters, and the audience is not as fussy as before.
If it weren’t for the ID of The King, the cheers would never have been as loud as they are now.
At the TOP player table, Bai Yueya frowned slightly when he saw Snake choosing someone without hesitation.
But at this time, the lineup has been locked.
TOP: Ornn, Dragon Girl, Iron Man, Lucian, Tahm nake: Alchemy, Green Steel Shadow, Male Sword, Delaiwen, Tau Tau
…
As the hero entered the Summoner's Rift, a huge cheering sound sounded from the scene.
Li Hao has really seen a lot of TOP lineups.
As soon as he saw this lineup, he knew what the opponent was going to do.
Therefore, before the level 1 minions come online, just place the trinket eye directly inside your F6.
From God's perspective, everyone saw the action of the male swordsman.
On TOP's side, under the escort of Orn, Tetsuo and Dragon Girl invaded Snake's F6.
Tetsuo learns Sad Harvest (W) at level one. As long as he stands next to the dragon girl, the magnetic metal will rotate violently, causing damage to the enemy every second. Coupled with the damage of the dragon girl, he will fight wild monsters very quickly. nake this
On the other hand, Kasa also understood the opponent's tactics. He and the Snake duo went to the lower half of the jungle area of Dragon Girl. The three of them crouched in the river grass and crouched after entering the opposite red buff grass at 1 minute and 11 seconds.
This is to change the jungle area with TOP.
Backstage, Bai Yueya also saw these actions in his eyes.
However, he didn't know Snake's deeper arrangement.
At 1 minute and 28 seconds, F6 refreshed.
Li Hao did not withdraw his troops, but waited outside the F6 wall.
Dragon Girl drives W, Tetsuo drives W, and the two of them fight very quickly.
At 1 minute and 34 seconds, he controlled the male sword to turn toward F6. Xx controlled F6 to pull out. Tetsuo's field of vision had already seen the male sword.
But
Cut off the roots (W)!
The flying knife with a range of 900 yards floated past the eyes of the dragon girl. It went back and forth twice, and the numbers +10 and +10 appeared on the male knife's head.
"The male swordsman came to harass me."
"This W, TheKing grabbed 2 mobs!"
"It's too bad, Dragon Girl can't reach level 2!"
"..."
Li Hao smiled secretly and immediately controlled the male sword to go to the middle.
Dragon Girl is only at level 1, so Tetsuo will continue to help Xx get red buffs, and the time to reach the middle lane will be delayed.
At 2 minutes and 06 seconds, the second Korean brother returned to the line.
At this time, the second wave of soldiers in the middle was already online. Li Hao's male sword was upgraded to level 2 when Tetsuo first arrived.
Apart from releasing W from a distance on a minion, Tetsuo, who was behind in level, didn't dare to move forward at all.
At 2 minutes and 14 seconds, Qinggang Shadow continuously brushed off the red buff and F6, and is now brushing the river crabs.
The white crescent moon in TOP's backstage kept scratching his head. He already felt bad.
Originally, Qinggangying could only brush the red buff and did not dare to brush F6, because Tetsuo returned to the middle in time to defend, but now, they have wasted a lot of time.
At this time, the top midfielders on the field are still executing the established tactics.
After clearing the upper half of the area and the river crabs, Dragon Girl immediately came to the middle lane and pushed the lane with Tetsuo.
When Mordekaiser kills minions near friendly heroes, he will receive an additional experience bonus.
It is precisely by using the passiveness of this W skill that the TOP midfielder and jungler push the lane together, and they will lead the experience.
As long as the two of them push the lane without thinking, they can control the middle lane and then embezzle the map resources.
However, when the dragon girl came over at 2 minutes and 30 seconds, Tetsuo was only level 1!
At this time, there were a lot of minions on the red side. The nake team kept communicating via voice, and Kasa had already arrived in the middle.
On the big screen, Qinggangying's hook lock was hung on the wall of the river, and the second section E kicked Tetsuo directly.
Before Kasa could take action, the male swordsman twisted around and released a direct W.
The green steel shadow suddenly appeared and kicked Tetsuo!
One second of dizziness is enough!
With the damage from the red buff, Qinggangying continued to attack with Q.
Li Hao took two steps forward, and when he retracted the second W, he had already hit two layers of passive on Tetsuo.
"Enjoy the taste of steel!"
…
Noxian diplomacy!
The male swordsman jumped towards Tetsuo, and the face of the Korean second brother in the contestants' table suddenly changed, and his fingers flashed wildly!
The male sword's Q stacks three layers of passives and performs electrocution. According to the Q skill mechanism, after the long-distance Q passes, it will automatically follow the A.
This time, just after A came out, a flash of golden light appeared on the big screen.
The second Korean brother flashes back into the tower!
"It's over!"
"This set of damage is enough, the male sword is bleeding, and the second brother is going to die!"
Miller shouted: "SOP needs to push the line, this wave of tactics is one step at a time!"
"This is going to kill you, TOP will collapse!"
…
The explosion after the male sword's passive is extremely terrifying.
The bleed effect at level 2 will deal 85+2 bonus AD damage.
Ggoong went out with the holy shield and drank the reusable potion continuously.
Perhaps with the help of the red buff, at the last second, the bloody Tetsuo shed his last trace of blood.
"died!"
"The male sword got first blood!"
"Exploded!"
“TOP’s Tetsuo system exploded!”
…
Miller was surprised: "Snake's thinking is so clear! It's a stroke of genius for the male swordsman to grab the jungle at level 1. If this wave had a normal rhythm, Tetsuo would definitely reach level 2, and he wouldn't stay in that position. Casa's Qinggang
Shadow can't be as comfortable as farming."
"This series of rhythms seems to have been arranged by Snake!"
"Casa's kick caused Brother Hao's male sword to deal full damage. This wave of kills simply eliminated all the suspense in the early stage!"
"If you can't push the line, how can you fight for TOP!"
Wawa smiled and said: "It feels like SOP brought out Tetsuo's system on the blue side, and everyone played it according to the script."
"..."
The Haier brothers were really not joking, and the white crescent moon in the background also realized it.
He was really puzzled. Nake was too casual in cracking the system. It felt like their carefully prepared tactics had not lasted for three minutes before they could be announced and sent.
Tetsuo, the second Korean brother, is a supporting character, but his lead is too weak to be online for a while.
Pushing lanes to get map resources is like a dream.
The male sword is level 3, while the iron man is only level 1.
This is not a blast.
Of course, the second Korean brother positions himself as a supporter, and he can accept it even if it explodes.
However, if the pressure from the line of troops cannot be put on the male sword, there is no way to restrict the male sword's roaming.
At 4 minutes and 50 seconds, while the seventh wave of minions was not online, Li Hao returned to the city to reinstall.
At the same time, the camera jumped from the top lane scene of Alchemy knocking Ornn under the tower to the bottom lane scene.
Qinggangying walked into the bottom lane from the triangle grass and inserted his eyes into the grass behind the TOP duo.
The TP of the male sword appears directly on the jewelry eye.
The troops entered the tower, and Snake was surrounded by four people.
Even though Tahm stalled for time and allowed the first wave of Qinggang Shadow to enter the battlefield, Lucian was not killed.
But when the second wave of male swordsmen entered the field, Lucian, who was nearly half-healthy, was killed directly!
Qinggangying replaced the bull head to carry the tower, Lin Weixiang pressed the healing spell to help Kasa escape, Snake cooperated closely, and Delaiwen killed Tamu again.
This wave announced that TOP's bottom lane collapsed.
It can be seen that the two teams are not at the same rhythm point at all.
Many team coaches and analysts are shaking their heads.
This kind of cumbersome Tetsuo system is the one that delivers the goods when chosen in front of Snake.
It seems that TOP is not the first person to eat the crab, but the first person to eat the knife.
At 6 minutes and 12 seconds, a burst of cheers erupted in the Main Square.
On the big screen, the male swordsman climbed over the F6 wall and entered the middle tower. He performed the classic WRAQA combo at close range. He only saw flying knives flying under the tower. Tetsuo, who was only level 4, was almost instantly infuriated by an electrocution beam!
The Korean second brother has been disrupted and even weak enough to forget to pay.
Li Hao was a little puzzled. He was going to scare him out of weakness first and hit a wave of consumption, but he didn't expect his second brother to be so cooperative.
"One set kills instantly!"
Miller shook his head and asked: "How do you do this?!"
At 6 minutes and 30 seconds, Snake received the first water dragon.
TOP I have nothing to think about.
At 9 minutes and 12 seconds, QiuQiu's screen also turned gray.
He also wanted to ask: "How do you play this?"
On the big screen, W flashed QRA's male knife, and after killing him with one set, he climbed over the wall and left an unruly figure behind.
The audience was already excited, and the wolfberry fans were celebrating.
In the barrage:
[Who will take care of this Brother Ritian? He is crazy!]
[It’s too cruel and bloody, I recommend timid young ladies under 30 years old to watch it in my arms]
[Brother Wolfberry: Tetsuo chose well, I will continue to choose next time]
[Hirano Aya: Brother Hao is not real. He taught me this skill back then, and I had no reason for Vulcan to make steel]
[Wei Jiang: I was going to watch you make steel, but you showed me this? Be careful, I will shoot through your thermos cup with a 98k shot!]
…
At 19 minutes and 50 seconds, the TOP crystal hub exploded on time.
The head count ratio of 18:0 created the first tragedy of the summer split!
The white crescent moon in the background is completely unbearable!
Nima, we are going to eat crabs
As a result, Linglong Tower didn’t even take 20 minutes!!
In this river?
…
…
PS: Good night, good night book friends, we will continue tomorrow.
