[At first glance, this IG lineup is designed to protect the bottom lane. This hand, Xerath, is no problem.]
[EZ and Braum don’t pose much of a threat to Xerath, I think it’s okay!]
...
The audience was very excited when they saw IG locking Xerath on the fifth floor.
Chen Yu finally took out his champion skin again.
"Xerath, is this a confident choice? In fact, Xerath's room for performance in this game is not very good! The opponent BDD chose a witch, which poses too great a threat to Xerath."
The colonel in the commentary box considered it more comprehensively. Although KZ's bottom lane EZ Braum cannot pose any threat to Xerath, and if the IG jungler surrounds the lower half of the jungle, Xerath has a lot of room to play.
.
But it is inevitable that KZ's mid laner Enchantress and jungler Lee Sin are both heroes that pose a strong threat to the back row.
After all, Xerath is bulky, and it will give him a headache if he is approached by the Enchantress Blind Monk.
"Maybe he wants to destroy the bottom lane as soon as possible! At least in the early stage, neither the Enchantress nor the Blind Monk can support the bottom lane. Xerath can help Kai'Sa snowball during this period of time! Then it will be considered a success.
In the later team battles, the blind monk and the Enchantress threaten Xerath, and Kai'Sa will also have a better output environment."
Rita on the side groaned.
Although she didn't understand why IG chose Xerath as an assistant, subconsciously she still believed that there was nothing wrong with Chen Yu's choice.
...
"Brother, it's up to you whether I can enjoy this. Can you beat this enchantress to death?"
However, at the IG competition table, Chen Yu laughed and started teasing.
It is not certain that Xerath is afraid of assassins, even with his operations.
Even if he can avoid many skills through good movement, he will not be able to withstand the damage from the Enchantress or the Blind Monk if it is too high.
If you hit him with hard damage, you will naturally have no room for maneuver.
Therefore, he needs broilers to crush the Enchantress online. As long as the Enchantress's development is not good enough, it will not pose much of a threat to his Xerath.
When the broiler heard this, he smiled confidently: "Don't worry, no one understands the enchantress better than my broiler!"
In the opening match, he was single-killed by Hat King's Sword Girl, and the broiler was still holding his breath.
Although he won in the end, it actually had little to do with him. Teammate Kerry won more.
Only that time, he was able to cover up as a weak hero.
But in this game, he used Syndra, who was his best, and he was not afraid of anyone's presence in the middle lane.
No matter who his opponent is, he has absolute confidence!
...
"The game has begun! In this game, IG did not choose to invade the jungle, but KZ, relying on Braum's presence, has already grouped up and headed towards the lower half of IG's jungle!"
"IG chose to avoid its edge and did not engage in the battle. Instead, it asked King Ning to go to the opponent's top half to open alone. However, the tactics around the bottom lane in this game could not be used!"
"Isn't KZ worried that Lucian, the manly man, will be targeted by Ning Wang?"
In the commentary box, watching the first-level response from both sides, I remember frowning slightly.
Obviously, IG's lineup must focus on the bottom half to protect the development of Kai'Sa and Xerath.
KZ, on the other hand, needs to implement the rhythm arrangement of the top, middle and jungle.
However, I don’t know if it was because Chen Yu suddenly took out Xerath, but KZ actually gave up the strategy of protecting the top, invaded the lower half of IG’s jungle, and gave up the upper half of the jungle to King Ning.
This is a lose-lose approach.
Although the threat of the blind monk will prevent Chen Yu's Xerath from easily suppressing KZ's bottom lane, King Ning will also make the man use the rat weapon in the top lane.
A Lucian top laner will be useless if he can't have an advantage in the lane.
"Perhaps KZ thinks that the handsome man can resist the pressure of provoking King Sunganing! In addition, Chen Yu's Xerath has a good reputation, and the champion skin is still worthy of respect."
Rita on the side said softly.
The IG champion skins of S7 have been released, namely Lucian, Sword Girl, Prince, Clockwork, VN and Xerath!
As the first champion skin of LPL, Riot Games’ design is also very attentive, and the special effects are very good.
The color tone of the entire set of skins is very close to IG’s silver uniforms. Each character has a return animation holding a silver championship trophy, as well as various personalized designs.
For example, Chen Yu's Xerath skin, when it is activated, the Mathematical Olympiad base is a championship trophy. At the same time, every time the ultimate move falls, the IG team logo will appear in the circle.
When Xerath's W skill is released, Chen Yu's ID signature will appear on the ground.
Xerath's return to the city is also different from other characters. The other characters return to the city holding the championship trophy.
Chen Yu's Zelas, on the other hand, used the championship trophy as a throne, sitting under his buttocks, holding a smaller one in his hand, which belonged to him as the FMVP trophy.
Small details like this have made Xerath, an unpopular hero, gradually become more popular.
Even players who don't play Xerath will buy a skin like this as a souvenir.
Although the consumption of this skin is not at the top compared to other heroes, it is not at the bottom either.
Because Ning Wang’s Zac is obviously more unpopular than Chen Yu’s Zerath, and Ning Wan’s own popularity is also far less popular than Chen Yu’s.
...
"Chen Yu, what if their jungler lives in the bottom lane? Can we still suppress them?"
At the competition table, Ah Shui frowned slightly and asked melancholy.
Most of Xerath's skills are AOE, and if you want to use them up, you will inevitably hit minions.
It's not that he's reluctant to give up a few last-minute hits, but if he adds too many minions, the line of troops will inevitably be pushed through.
According to the planned development, it doesn't matter if Prince Ning lives on the lower road.
But if KZ chooses to protect the bottom lane, it will be dangerous for them to push the troops through.
"Don't worry, even if the blind monk comes, he won't be able to catch us!"
Chen Yu was not worried when he heard this.
Braum's initiative ability is very weak, and Lee Sin and EZ don't have hard control. It's basically impossible to catch Kai'Sa or Xerath before level 6.
Unless Chen Yu and Ah Shui give them a chance.
On the contrary, it is the top half of KZ that needs to worry.
Although Lucian has displacement skills, Ornn and Zac are full of control, so they are more dangerous than them.
Chen Yu didn't believe how long the man could last in the hands of the most offensive top and jungle combination in the world.
"Then let's..."
Ah Shui asked hesitantly.
"Don't be afraid, press as usual."
As Chen Yu's words fell.
KZ's bottom lane duo of Pray and Gorila suffered a disaster.
Different versions of Xerath have different playing styles, and Chen Yu's understanding of the game is often surprising.
While the ordinary Xerath was still playing Q, Chen Yu started to dominate W in this game!
Xerath's W skill, Eye of Destruction, has a very good slowing effect, and the damage range is much larger than that of the Q skill.
This also greatly increases the hit rate.
As long as EZ or Braum do not transfer displacement, it is almost difficult to get out of the circle of the Eye of Destruction.
In addition, because of the deceleration effect, the hit rate of the talent Mathematical Comet can be greatly improved.
Therefore, although the cooldown time of Xerath's W skill is longer than that of Q skill, the poke effect is better than that of Q skill.
In just two minutes, more than half of EZ and Braum's blood volume was consumed, and they could only rely on supplies and the passive power of the Holy Shield to survive.
However, due to Braun's repeated use of Holy Relic Shield to restore health, as well as Ah Shui and Chen Yu's deliberate lane control, the KZ bottom lane duo was unable to release their troops.
Naturally, the blind monk couldn't find a good gank opportunity.
I can only come over and take a look from time to time to relieve the pressure on EZ and Braum and prevent the last hit from being overwhelmed too much.
It is really difficult to play the IG bottom lane duo.
"The blind monk has been tied up by us. Prince Ning, you don't have to worry about them playing in the jungle anymore. Go on the road and look for opportunities."
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction and reminded him in the team chat.
Because of his suppressive power, the blind monk had to appear in the bottom lane many times to protect him, and his position was always in the hands of IG.
This was of great help to Ning Wan in doing things.
Naturally, Prince Ning readily agreed. He was about to have a chat with Lao Sha and planned to catch him, but he heard the voice of a broiler coming from the team chat: "I'm here to catch you, the enchantress didn't dodge!"
