Chapter 97: One game, zero ganks, nine kills—do you understand the true value of being the world's best top laner?! [Seeking monthly votes!]
[What is Ning doing? Playing Lee Sin and all he does is wander around, huh?]
[There's no way around it, Shanglu is his father, how can we not protect him?]
[Do these haters even understand the game? If they can't protect Lucian, how are they supposed to win? Are they expecting to rely on those two useless bot laners?!]
To be honest, you can't really blame the stinky shoes. Who would have thought that this useless top laner would be so cowardly playing Irelia!
[Didn't the zombie say that the enemy top laner, Timely Rain, could just stomp on her head? Now that Irelia is so timid, shouldn't you be excited? Why are you unhappy again?]
Seeing Ning's Lee Sin waste half a day in the top lane without any results, while Lee Doo-hwan's Elise ganked the mid lane and then went to take the dragon, many people couldn't stand it anymore.
After securing the dragon, Lee Doo-hwan, controlling his Spider, recalled to base to replenish his equipment and immediately plunged back into IG's lower jungle. His main strategy was to completely disregard his opponent.
But Ning was helpless, because Lee Sang-hyeok's Orianna in the mid lane had gained a significant advantage thanks to the help he had just received.
Meanwhile, the bottom lane duo of Gu Shengbin and Lee Sangho had an advantage from the start of their laning phase, so Ning could only sigh helplessly in the face of Lee Doo-hwan's unbridled dominance.
"This isn't going to work." Miller sighed as he looked at the Spider in IG's jungle as if it were its own backyard.
"It feels like IG needs to proactively find their rhythm; they can't keep being led by the nose by Sun's Spider!"
"The two times IG got caught at the beginning were really damaging! Otherwise, the top half of the map would be IG's right now."
It should be the dominant half of the bracket.
"The Rift Herald is about to spawn, and I think IG needs to find an opportunity to make a move, play to their strengths, and not let T1 catch up with their good macro-management rhythm. They need to pull T1 into their own good fighting rhythm," Rita echoed her analysis.
But just as she was speaking so seriously, the camera suddenly switched to the road.
Upon seeing this, the baby immediately cried out.
"A fight broke out in the top lane, initiated by Canna's Irelia!"
However, Lucian reacted very quickly, using his mobility to dodge Irelia's E skill, Twin Blades!
Inside, Jiang Chenglu wasn't thinking about escaping, but about fighting back!
Unfortunately, despite his quick reflexes and commendable counter-attacks, the equipment difference between the two was simply too great.
So in the end, no matter how flashy Lucian was, he was still taken down by Kim Jang-dong's Irelia.
"Wow, what a pity, just a little short!" Doll's frustrated voice rang out as she looked at the low-health Irelia.
"Those two waves of attacks from Sun's Spider were too damaging, otherwise Brother Sun could have turned the tables!" Miller lamented.
Seeing that the top laner had secured a solo kill, Lee Doo-hwan casually offered a compliment.
"Zhangdong, you played well."
Although they were just very, very ordinary words, they sounded like heavenly music to Jin Zhangdong.
Waaaaahh ...
-
Doo-hwan hyung—he—he actually praised me!!!
At this moment, Kim Chang-dong was like a puppy that had been rewarded with a bone by its owner, extremely excited and immediately wagging his tail.
"Brother Douhuan, just watch closely. Lucian is no match for me anymore. I can easily solo kill him from now on!"
Lee Doo-hwan didn't say anything, but simply moved the mouse to mark the Rift Herald.
"Brother Douhuan, don't worry, I'll go home and get my equipment ready and then teleport over!" Jin Zhangdong said immediately.
Without their top laner, it's naturally difficult for IG to contest the Rift Herald. Therefore, they had no choice but to concede.
With the Rift Herald lost, IG was instantly at a loss.
Their initial idea was to gain an advantage through Jiang Chenglu's top lane Lucian, then control the Rift Herald and release it in the mid lane.
Quickly smash down the first tower in the middle, freeing up Song Yijin's Ryze so he can roam around and create opportunities!
But now, forget about Rift Herald, we don't even have an economic advantage. How are we supposed to play like this?!
In the time that followed, it seemed that Lee Doo-hwan made an unprecedented compliment, which greatly boosted Kim Chang-dong's confidence.
So after his Irelia's ultimate ability cooled down, he once again solo-killed Jiang Chenglu's Lucian.
You have to understand that top lane AD carries can't afford to fall behind; if they do, they're probably out of the game.
Tanks are at a disadvantage, but characters like Ornn can at least absorb some damage, and their ultimate can initiate team fights.
But Lucian can't tank damage, can't initiate team fights, and even has to drain the health of other lanes!
Not to mention, Jiang Chenglu's Lucian is now in a situation that's more than just a disadvantage.
Instead, if no one is around, getting touched by Irelia will be a disaster. If you have Flash, use Flash; if you don't, you're dead!
"I feel like Ning needs to stay by Shai's side all the time now. With Irelia's current items, I feel like she could easily solo kill Lucian even without her ultimate!"
"There's nothing we can do; it's mainly because Sun's two early ganks with Spider were too damaging!"
Seeing the situation on the field, Wawa and Miller were also very filial in helping Jiang Chenglu to make amends.
However, just as the two were talking, the camera suddenly switched to the road.
"However, let's look at this wave first—" Miller continued, "Sun's Spider has come to the top lane again!"
"Brother's Lucian just finished clearing the top lane and is heading towards the mid lane, he can't go this way!"
With Lucian about to be devoured, Miller and Wawa raised their voices very loudly, seemingly trying to warn Kang Seung-rok in this way.
Unfortunately, all of this was in vain. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lucian walked step by step into the spider's encirclement.
Lucian, who was already at his worst, was like a stray dog in front of Lee Doo-hwan's Spider. One combo of skills not only killed him instantly, but also left him with a lot of health.
After dealing with Kang Seung-rok's Lucian, Lee Doo-hwan didn't waste any time, controlling the spider to turn around and leave!
Looking at Lucian's screen going black again, Miller said with a wry smile.
"Lucian is already 0-7!"
Unless T1 makes two major mistakes in a row, IG will have a very difficult time.
At this moment, everyone witnessed an incredibly incredible scene.
That was Lucian, who had been caught in Lee Doo-hwan's spider-like trap and killed Kang Seung-rok. Looking at the player screen in the lower left corner, Kang Seung-rok, who was already down 0-6, showed no sign of frustration.
on the contrary----
He's still laughing!!!
[This is absolutely insane! They've played it like this and they still have the nerve to laugh?]
[Suddenly reminded me of last year when IG lost to FPX. Everyone on IG acted like nothing happened, except for my Huan-ge, whose face was rosy!]
Is this the "timely rain" that the zombies were talking about, bringing glory to the LPL? How hilarious!
[Just arrived. I heard from Zombie that there's a match featuring the world's best top laner today. Now that I see it, he's really amazing. He can even beat a Lucian top laner with Irelia, getting a 0-6 score!]
[Ahem, sorry, but the player who plays Lucian is the one the zombies call the world's best top laner!]
"Bro, that's even more incredible! Dying seven times in twenty minutes! I'm asking you, which top laner can do that right now?!"
The game continues.
When a top laner Lucian dies seven times in less than twenty minutes, it basically means that the game is over for him.
Of course, this statement is not absolute, because if you can't help when things are going well, you might even make things worse!
Sure enough, before anyone could react, Kang Seung-rok's Lucian was captured by Lee Doo-hwan's spider again!
"Wow, Lucian has died eight times already, he's so freakish!" Baby's voice was filled with wailing as he watched what was happening on the field.
I thought it would be a one-sided match, but who would have thought that we would be completely crushed by the other side!
With no chance of turning the tide, IG started their classic tactic: mindlessly looking for opportunities to engage in team fights.
They thought they could try to pull off a miracle team fight like they did in the LPL and turn the tide in one fell swoop!
Unfortunately, T1 is not an LPL team, and if miracles could happen every day, they wouldn't be called miracles anymore!
An irrational team fight caused the already crumbling situation to explode instantly!
This ultimately led to IG losing the first game!
When the game ended, Jiang Chenglu's Lucian score was a dismal 0-9, which was truly appalling.
Seeing IG's destroyed Nexus, Wawa and Miller, who were full of energy before the match and were even looking forward to T1 being crushed by IG, had lost their initial momentum and seemed somewhat deflated, like cucumbers that had been used. "Let's congratulate T1 on taking the first game in this elimination match against IG!"
"Congratulations to T1, but IG shouldn't be discouraged, because this is only the first game."
The two chatted back and forth, making many people in the live stream laugh.
[This is just the first game! If the first game is this bad, how good can the second game be?!]
I really like what Zombie said: "If T1 doesn't get swept by IG, that's a success!"
[I got a 0-9 score in the first game, I don't even want to think about what happens next!]
Oh no, T1 has already succeeded! What should we do?!
[Huan, don't shout! Anyone who didn't know better would think T1 won. It was just a favor game, what are you all so smug about!]
All I can say is that there was a huge gap in jungle play this game. I really don't understand how a piece of trash like Chouxie (臭鞋) could have won the FMVP back then!
To put it bluntly, Riot Games deliberately gave this World Championship title to a Chinese player because it was LPL's first S-series championship. Otherwise, would this piece of trash have gotten it?!
Indeed, the real FMVP should be Show Bro; Stinky Shoes is just a thief of the FMVP title!
[Useless jungler, give the FMVP back to Suning!!!]
at the same time.
Samsung Base!
With nothing else to do, Master An is currently watching the T1 vs. IG match with his underlings.
When I witnessed Lee Doo-hwan's Spider chasing Ning's Lee Sin the entire game.
He was both happy and sad.
The two conflicting emotions made him feel incredibly miserable at that moment.
The good news is that Lee Doo-hwan is in such good form that he will definitely defeat IG and win the MSC China-Korea showdown for LCK, filling the void of LCK's lack of international honors in the past two years.
What's painful is that...
He saw the shadow of his own jungler Clid in Ning during the Spring Split!
Yes, our jungler is just like Ning, like a rat crossing the street, being chased all over the jungle by Lee Doo-hwan!
"What's going on with this guy?"
To be honest, Master An is very confused right now, considering that his strength is less than half of what it was at his peak, and his gaming skills have declined drastically.
Only when holding a baseball bat can he recapture his former glory!
But what about their old rivals?
It seems to be getting more and more dazzling —
"So many years have passed, how come this guy seems to have been rejuvenated?!"
Hearing Master An's mutterings, Clid couldn't help but speak up.
"Chanyoung, now you see, it's not just me who can't beat him, the other junglers are the same!"
Clid's original intention was to prove to Ambition that he wasn't bad at the game; he just couldn't beat Lee Doo-hwan, and he wouldn't get beaten so badly by other junglers.
However, it would have been better if he hadn't said those words. As soon as he did, the already bittersweet and depressed Sect Leader An's eyes widened in surprise.
He glanced at Clid, who was completely unaware that he had said the wrong thing, then at the baseball bat placed not far away and the ruler very close to it, and immediately spoke up.
"Come here with the stick!!!"
On IG's side.
They lost a game right from the start, and it was a very bad one. Logically, the atmosphere in the whole team should have been very heavy.
But the atmosphere at IG at this moment was not so serious.
Ning, who was chased and beaten by Lee Doo-hwan in the jungle for almost the entire game, was still able to smile at this moment.
This gave FIY, the coach, a real headache!
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
The key point of what FIY says is not whether it is useful or not, but whether Ning Wang and the others want to hear it.
If you want to hear it, you're the coach; if you don't want to hear it—
Who the hell do you think you are?!
If this were in the LCK, FIY, as a coach, would have many ways to handle and resolve it.
But this is the LPL, a region where every player is a force to be reckoned with in terms of popularity!
Unknown players might listen to you obediently, but those star players with high popularity will completely ignore you and may even get management involved to interfere with the coach's rights.
So, as a coach, FIY sometimes feels helpless.
Of course, it's not just now; even when they lost a game in the Spring Split, they showed no tension on their faces, just like now.
"Jiang Chenglu, you need to pay more attention to vision control on the top lane. If you do vision control, you won't get caught in the second wave." FIy took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Oh? I didn't expect the enemy jungler to target me like this. I thought he would go to farm in the bottom half of the jungle," Jiang Chenglu replied.
"Yeah, who would have thought the enemy jungler Elise would gank like that!" Puff, currently IG.AD, chimed in with a comment.
"Actually, Huan-ge likes to use this kind of reverse thinking when he's jungling. The more you think he should be doing something, the more likely he is to exceed your expectations!" Bao-lan said from the side.
"That Dou Huan guy, all he does is pull these unpredictable and disgusting tricks!" Prince Ning said casually from the side. "Don't worry, we definitely won't let him get away with it next time!"
He and Lee Doo-hwan weren't exactly close, but they weren't strangers either; they were more like colleagues at work.
Despite being utterly crushed by T1 in the first game, the IG players showed no signs of frustration. Ning even declared that they would come back strong in the next game. Coach FIY was at a loss for words, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
The good news is that the team members were not discouraged by the temporary setback, and their mentality remained unaffected. This will not affect their subsequent operations.
The bad news is that my mindset hasn't been affected, and I remain very confident.
But this also means that they may not have reflected on or learned from their previous failure.
They might continue to make the same mistakes!
"well----"
After letting out a slight sigh, FIy called out to the IG players and began explaining what to do in the second game.
quickly!
The second game between the two sides has begun!
Since T1 won the first game, IG will still be on the blue side in the second game.
As for moving players, they immediately eliminated the Spider character used by Lee Doo-hwan, who was the MVP in the previous game.
This scene immediately amused the viewers in the live stream.
Because when the second game's ban/pick phase removes a hero that wasn't banned in the first game, and that hero happens to be the one the opponent used in the previous game.
So basically it only means one thing, which is————
I'm scared!!!
【No way, they just removed the Spider? Weren't you IG going to crush T1? I'm not sure this will work!!!】
[Don't yell, Huan Xiaojiang! You're allowed to target Suning like crazy, but IG isn't allowed to remove him, right?]
[I was thinking that Huan-ge only went to the top twice last time, and the rest of the time, wasn't it Time Rain who delivered the supplies himself?]
[He doesn't really think that just because he picked Huan-ge's Spider, he can't come up with any other heroes, does he? No way, no way!]
[Just between you and me, Zombie, Spider is just one of the worst heroes in my brother Huan's hero pool!]
After the first round of player transfers, IG discussed it and decided to give Song Yijin a key to the team.
"Giving Rookie the clockwork first is fine!"
A simple character selection process caused Doll and Miller to start fawning over each other again.
"Rookie's Orianna is still reliable, after all, he has two balls and one hero!"
Seeing that IG had picked Orianna, T1 didn't hesitate and immediately gave Koo Sungbin Kalista, and then also locked in Sett.
"As expected, T1 still picked Kalista, not wanting IG to get her, because there's a high probability that IG's Kalista will go top lane," Wawa commented seriously.
After T1 completed their first and second picks, IG still gave Ning Lee Sin.
It's not that he played that well, it's just that if you don't take it, T1 will.
At that time, not only will Lee Doo-hwan get his preferred hero, but Ning's side won't have any good junglers to counter him, so picking him will undoubtedly be the most cost-effective option. At the same time, Lee Sin can also coordinate with Orianna to bring the ball into the fray!
Of course, another point is that since winning the championship, Ning has become arrogant and neglected his training. Now, apart from Lee Sin, there are not many other heroes he can play.
P.S.: Updates will be temporarily scheduled for noon from now on!
