Chapter 18: Teaching You How to Be Human!
The second set of the training match has begun.
The positions of both sides were swapped, with SKT becoming blue and LCD coming to purple.
Compared to the first game, there were not many changes in the BAN picks between the two teams, except that LCD gave the last BAN pick to the mouse with the big showy play, while the other BAN picks were almost identical!
The mouse is too OP in this version, SKT has a one-pick advantage, and LCD certainly doesn't want them to get this hero again!
Blind Monk!
The mouse was banned and SKT's first pick directly took the blind monk, a rare scene in domestic competitions, but not surprising at all in Korean competitions!
Sometimes you have to admit that the Korean blind and some domestic players' blind are two completely different heroes!
Seeing this scene, everyone's face turned ugly, they all knew that the other side was going to teach them a lesson!
The Taobao-style boxing is really unbearable to watch!
"Kosei, help Nishi take Obama!" Captain Hino ordered.
"Good." Xiaoxing directly locked onto Obama.
Then, the second floor Taobao fist silently and instantly chose the mantis, without any intention of discussing with his teammates.
Mantis is a very strong hero in the current version, and can be played as a meat shield or an output carry hero. In the recent All-Star final, he performed exceptionally well. In theory, Taobao Fist shouldn't have any problems!
But what's worth mentioning is that in the previous game, Taobao Fist chose Blind Monk, while SKT's jungler HORO chose Mantis. In the second game, it was the opposite, with both teams' junglers switching heroes. If Taobao Fist still can't contribute to the team even after being fed by the opponent, then he won't have any more excuses!
Think about it, they first use mantis to burst your blind spot, and then use the blind spot to burst their mantis, what else can be said?
Can't help but say, Taobao Fist has completely cut off its retreat in order to prove itself in front of the coach!
When it was Chen Cheng's turn to choose, he first asked the team captain Pi Ye if there were any heroes he wanted. The reply was that he could just pick his own. So Chen Cheng directly chose one of the strongest AP mages in terms of single-handed combat ability - Dark Lord Syndra!
Can't help but say, the previous white crescent moon's words stimulated Chen Cheng, he also wants to use this hero to prove himself!
Finally, the lineups for both sides were confirmed as:
Blue team SKT: Top lane Crocodile + Jungle Blind Monk + Mid lane Twitch + AD Caitlyn + Support Nami!
Purple team LCD: Top lane Riven + Jungle Yi + Mid lane Syndra + AD Ezreal + Support Leona!
The game is about to begin.
This time, both sides have set up a one-word long snake array, and neither of them intends to invade the opponent's wild area like in the previous game!
On the LCD side, seeking stability is after experiencing SKT's strength and not daring to act rashly. After all, Korean teams have too strong ability to control the rhythm of rolling snowballs in the game, they dare not take this risk easily!
And SKT will do the same, because they think they can completely crush these five scrubs online, and there's no need to risk that one wave of uncertain team fight. After the crushing defeat in the previous game, it's inevitable that SKT players' confidence will swell up!
So both sides started with a BUFF near the lower road and didn't intend to fight for the exchange of lines!
After all, in the current version, the bottom road Obama is not virtual for any AD. The top single Riven, although being cut off by a big knife and weakened in the early stage, don't forget that LCD's top single Xiao Xingxing wears what halo!
The strongest Riven in the national server!
Even when facing the former top laner Crocodile, Xiaoming's eyebrows wouldn't frown at all!
But SKT also wanted to test the opponent's strength, so even if their own bottom lane combination was slightly weaker in the laning phase, they didn't choose to swap lanes!
They want to confront Obama and Tan Jinfeng head-on, to avenge their previous defeat!
Both sides are in a normal lane, including Chen Cheng's Cinderella and Easyhoon's Clockwork on the opposite side!
Two consecutive matches with clockwork, and I don't know if the opponent doesn't want to expose their hero pool or simply looks down on Chen Cheng, too lazy to switch to other heroes to fight him!
Cinderella VS Spring!
To be honest, the online abilities of these two heroes should be 55 open. Both are traditional mages with extremely sufficient AOE damage. Relatively speaking, Fatt has a shield that can offset damage, and is very strong against A in the early stage. However, Sindra also has a super long-range stun control, so it's hard to say who is stronger in terms of laning!
When encountering such a situation, it is more testing the operator's laning ability. When heroes are similar, to determine who has stronger strength, just look at last-hitting minions and health lines, and the conclusion will be obvious!
Due to the previous game's collapse, Chen Cheng can be said to have used all his strength in this round, walking, replenishing, consuming, and observing the wild positions of both sides, not daring to relax for a moment!
The game went on for 4 minutes, Fa Zai's assists were 32, Chen Cheng was 30, only two behind, and the state was not worse than Fa Zai, it can be said that they fought back and forth, without falling behind!
It's worth mentioning that after the opposing blind monk took away both buffs from his own side, he recklessly invaded the blue team's jungle and ambushed Chen Cheng after turning back F4's big ghost. Chen Cheng played a little trick at this time, pretending not to notice throughout the whole process, and deliberately used up QE twice while keeping a safe distance, with an expression of "I have no skills left, come and kill me".
The blind monk indeed fell for it, wasting a full 20 seconds on the mid lane before he realized that this Cinderella was not only fierce but also very cautious in her movements and had probably already discovered him, at which point he left with great annoyance.
For the hero Blind Monk, time is life in the early stages of the game. What White Moon said is very right, if you choose this hero and can't gain an advantage in the early stages, your situation will be quite embarrassing!
Top laner Riven's development is too slow, mid laner's line is too short and not convenient for GANK, bottom laner LCD's vision is too good, blind man doesn't have many opportunities for a while!
After squatting in the middle road for a while with no results, the user of the blind man, namely SKT's jungler Holo, made a decisive attack and invaded the purple side's upper half of the jungle!
He's going to look for trouble with the mantis!
At this time, Taobao Fist had just cleared away the three little ghosts left by Xiangzi's previous wave and was on his way to brush against Stone Man!
He was just scolded by the coach, and this guy has rarely stabilized. In the early stage, he didn't mention GANK at all, and only wanted to upgrade to level 6!
Level 6 has always been the watershed for this hero, especially in this version. Once the mantis reaches level 6 and evolves its ultimate skill, it can gain continuous stealth and greatly reduced damage!
If the mantis before level 6 is a brainless warrior who goes but never returns, then the mantis that evolves into a big move after level 6 is a ghostly assassin who can come and go freely!
Horo naturally didn't want Taobao Fist to reach 6 so easily.
The blind monk crouched in the purple square red BUFF grass, and the fake eye left behind when stealing the big ghost just saw an unsatisfied mantis walking towards this side!
Heavenly sound!
The blind man kicked with all his might and burst out of the bushes!
Void Pierce!
Here is the translation:
"Here I have to praise Taobao Fist's Mantis, in the game many players after being hit by Blind Monk Q often become frantic and immediately use their displacement skills to escape, but end up being chased down by Blind Monk's 2-segment Q with ease, ultimately meeting their demise!"
But Taobao Fist didn't panic, and when he saw the blind man coming out of the bushes, he immediately countered with a W to slow down the blind man, then turned around and walked back!
3rd-level mantis VS 3rd-level blind man!
Originally, when both sides have dual BUFFs at the same time, it's really hard to say who will win in a 1v1 situation. Generally speaking, whoever gets the first hit has a greater chance of winning!
At this time, the blind man not only had the advantage of taking the lead, but his physical condition was also much better than that of Taobao Fist. Therefore, Taobao Fist didn't even think about it and ran away directly, without the courage to confront the blind man head-on at this time!
But after all, it was a sudden attack, and the opponent was also a professional player, with a speed that was not slower than Taobao Fist's, a W-key press instantly stuck to him, immediately slamming the floor, giving the mantis a slowdown!
Leap strike!
Under the double slow effect of Blind Monk's E skill and red BUFF, Taobao Fist, with only half of his blood left, had no choice but to use his E skill to jump away and pull distance from Blind Monk!
But this is exactly what the blind man wants, a rebound hit and Q's second segment immediately follows up, Taobao Fist can't get rid of this layer of displacement technique!
Under several waves of attacks from Zuo Ci, he has been left with a sliver of health!
Taobao Fist started panicking and made a flash move to get over the wall, rushing towards the high ground!
But the blind man had already killed his eyes, and he didn't even force out a flash of meaning. After the mantis flashed over the wall, he immediately followed up with a flash!
Calculating the time, the interval between the two flashes is absolutely less than 0.5 seconds!
This man's head is blind monk's for sure!
