"Is he still the Blind Monk?"
Seeing IG's choice of jungler, Miller couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Clearly, the scene of Ning's Lee Sin being chased all over the jungle by Lee Doo-hwan's Elise in the previous game is still fresh in everyone's mind.
After finalizing the Lee Sin pick, IG also picked Varus for the bot lane, locking in their AD carry.
With T1's third pick helping Lee Sang-hyeok acquire a Tsar, both sides began the second round of player banning.
In the second round of player bans, IG still gave the last two bans to jungler Lee Doo-hwan. Obviously, in their minds, top laner Kim Chang-dong was not worth mentioning, so there was no need to waste the bans.
T1, on the other hand, gave both bans to IG's support player, Nanfeng, and also disregarded IG's top laner, Jiang Chenglu.
It's fair to say that the two sides had already built up a tense atmosphere over the issue of moving people!
Looking at the people moving things on both sides, the child couldn't help but sigh.
"That's the advantage of the red side; they have a counter-pick, so they don't need to specifically target a particular position. They can use this counter-pick to pick heroes later to counter it!"
Saying something like this at this time carries an extremely obvious underlying meaning.
Unfortunately, no sooner had he finished speaking than T1 secured the Crocodile as their fourth pick, a slap in the face indeed.
The atmosphere seemed slightly awkward at this moment.
Seeing this, Rita, a big fan of Lee Doo-hwan and known as a "pretty face commentator," slowly spoke up.
"T1's fourth pick was Renekton for Canna in the top lane, leaving a counter pick for Sun. I wonder what IG will do then?"
What strategies should we use to counter the crocodile in TheShy's case?
Jiang Chenglu's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the crocodile that T1 had picked as their fourth pick.
Because Quinn is still outside, and Quinn is a very good champion to counter Renekton!
Having become somewhat obsessed with playing top lane AD, he immediately spoke without hesitation.
"Coach, I want to play Quinn!"
"With Quinn, our lineup will be too fragile!"
FIy slowly began to speak, the main point being that although Quinn is easier to play against Renekton in lane, in team fights, Renekton, with his superior stats, is still easier to dominate than Quinn.
And most importantly, FIy had already discovered a very fatal problem in the previous game.
That is, the difference between IG's two bot laners and T1's two bot laners seems quite large.
In other words—
If you force the top laner to pick Quinn, he might have a very comfortable laning phase against Renekton, but Ning's jungler will definitely need to protect the top laner.
Otherwise, it's easy for Lucian to get scrambled by Elise like in the last game!
However, if the jungler keeps ganking the top lane, even if they manage to protect their own top lane, it will be in vain.
So, if our bot lane doesn't get jungler's help and there's a significant skill gap, they're likely to get completely destroyed in the laning phase!
So after some discussion, IG ultimately decided to give Gnar to Jiang Chenglu, and then picked Nautilus for their support Nanfeng to increase their team's initiation capabilities.
"Gnar vs. Renekton, that's practically Suning's signature move!"
Miller's voice was cheerful, carrying a strange sense of superiority that left people somewhat puzzled.
It's just a simple hero selection, why does it seem like T1 has already lost?!
"I wonder what Sun will pick for their last counter pick. To be honest, their lineup doesn't lack damage output, but it lacks a frontline support. One Renekton isn't enough. I feel like T1 would be better off giving them a champion like Jarvan IV!"
As soon as the doll finished speaking, T1 locked in their fifth pick, with Lee Doo-hwan asking Lee Sang-ho to pick Zhao Xin for him.
Immediately afterwards, as both sides exchanged heroes with their respective users, the lineups of both sides were revealed to the audience.
IG's top laner is Gnar, jungler is Lee Sin, mid laner is Orianna, and bot lane consists of Varus and Nautilus!
T1's top laner is Renekton, jungler is Xin Zhao, mid laner is Azir, and bot lane consists of Kalista and Sett.
While entering the game, Miller spoke with an air of seriousness.
"Brother Shai needs to be a little more careful in the early game, after all, Zhao Xin is a hero with a strong ability to gank top lane at level two!"
Especially in the laning phase between Gnar and Renekton, if Gnar gets caught out in that one wave, he'll have no chance to lane properly.
"I don't think Sun will play like that anymore, right? This kind of level 2 gank is only good for catching the opponent off guard!" Doll chimed in.
"You can't say that. Just like in the last game, Sun's Spider ganked at level two, then went to gank top lane again at level three. The more you think he can't do that, the easier it is for him to catch you!"
While the two were analyzing the situation, the game had already begun.
Having learned from the previous game, IG was noticeably more cautious this time.
Prince Ning even clamored that he would move to the top lane as soon as he reached level two, determined not to give Li Douhuan any chance.
Even if we can't kill him, we absolutely cannot allow anything to happen that weakens Gnar's condition!
Nothing happened between the two sides. Miller, looking from God's perspective, spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Sun's Xin Zhao chose to start in the bottom half of the jungle this game, instead of the top half. It seems he also knows that the level 2 gank top strategy can only be used once!"
"But wait!!!"
"What are Faker's Tsar and Canna's Crocodile doing?!" Doll suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because the minion waves were about to collide, both Lee Sang-hyeok's Tsar and Kim Jang-dong's Renekton were still in their own upper jungle.
If Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao had started in the upper jungle, their actions would have been understandable, but what they're doing now is a bit hard to understand.
As the two remained puzzled, the monsters respawned.
From God's perspective, everyone could see that Lee Sang-hyeok summoned the Tsar and poked the Red Dominator twice before walking towards the middle lane.
Kim Jang-dong's crocodile deliberately waited in place for a second before heading towards the top lane.
"They're playing mind games!!!"
Seeing this, Miller wasn't stupid; he instantly understood T1's idea.
"Sun's Xin Zhao started in the bottom jungle, but IG didn't know that."
T1's top and mid laners' actions could easily mislead IG into thinking that Sun's Xin Zhao is still starting in the top jungle this game!
at the same time.
Seeing the Tsar slowly emerge from the path of the six birds, and the Renekton who came out half a beat later, Ning, the jungler who clearly didn't have much of a brain, was immediately tricked.
"That bastard, he actually wants to cause trouble!?"
In Ning Wang's eyes, Lee Doo-hwan had the mid and jungle players help him jungle.
It's obvious they're trying to reach level two or three as quickly as possible, and then get on the top lane before I do!
"Cheng Lu, make an optic in the river, don't let this guy put any more pressure on you!"
The enemy mid and top laners are both helping him jungle, so I'll definitely reach level three slower than him!
As Ning spoke, he controlled Lee Sin to speed up his jungle clearing.
only----
Ning's jungle clearing speed is something everyone knows!
Although he wanted to finish quickly, he was powerless to do so.
Jiang Chenglu didn't think much of it after hearing this, since it was already difficult for Gnar to fight the crocodile in the early stages, and he would at least have to go back to base and make Cloth Armor Boots.
If Zhao Xin gets a chance to hit him, even if he doesn't die, he'll suffer terribly.
So, to prevent any accidents from happening, after being caught twice in the previous game, he directly controlled Gnar to run to the river and place a ward.
Seeing this, Miller and Doll's faces visibly darkened.
Clearly, the fact that Kang Seung-rok placed that ward indicates that from IG's perspective, Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao was playing in the upper jungle, which is why he placed that ward for defense.
"It feels like IG has been misled by the illusion that T1 has deliberately created!" Wawa's voice carried a hint of worry, as if she could already imagine what was about to happen.
Just then, the camera suddenly switched to the bottom lane!
After seizing the opportunity, Lee Sang-ho immediately used Sett's Flash to move forward and used his E skill, Skullbreaker, to pull Puff's Varus back.
This is a common playstyle for Sett as support, using Flash to lower the enemy AD's health, thereby allowing your own AD to gain lane priority in the bottom lane.
Gu Shengbin's Kalista also seized the opportunity to decisively follow up with damage output.
Although Nanfeng's Titan hooked Li Xianghao's Sett, the support and AD swapped health, so T1 clearly benefited more.
AD had lost so much health, and knowing that Puff also knew his own limitations, he called out to Nanfeng for safety. The two of them chose to let the lane go and prepare to farm safely with their backs to the turret.
"T1's bot lane played very aggressively, forcing Nanfeng and Puff to give up lane control, which means—"
I have a feeling Sun's Xin Zhao might gank the bot lane later.
The doll finally understood that the illusion created by T1 was all a setup for the bottom lane.
But at this point, IG had already believed it to be true!
The feeling of being able to watch helplessly as IG walked into T1's well-designed system, without being able to offer any help, made Miller and Wawa feel utterly dejected.
Even IG's coach FIy, who was watching the game from the rest room, sighed deeply, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
The zombie chicken giblets in the live stream witnessed what was happening on the field and were even more furious!
[Damn it, that bastard Huan has no other skills, all he knows is how to play dirty tricks. Doesn't he dare to fight IG fair and square?!]
[Look at you, getting impatient again. What era are we living in? Do you still think you can win a game without using your brain?]
As everyone knows, the zombies in Plants vs. Zombies eat brains, so naturally they don't have brains!
Sorry, it's mine!
soon.
Ning's Lee Sin cleared three camps of jungle monsters in his own top jungle and successfully reached level three.
To prevent Lee Doo-hwan and Zhao Xin from causing trouble for Kang Seung-rok's Gnar in the top lane, he rushed to the top lane the moment he reached level three.
To avoid running into Xin Zhao in the river, Ning even controlled Lee Sin to move from the lane to the top lane bush.
"If he dares to come, then let him leave his life behind!"
Ning Wang's idea of counter-camping was good, but just as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of an extremely conspicuous red color on the minimap in the lower right corner of his eye.
"Holy crap, what the hell is he doing in the bot lane?!"
Seeing Zhao Xin already flanking and preparing to tower dive his own bottom lane, Ning immediately cursed.
-
Three big question marks appeared above his head!
Didn't Zhao Xin start his jungle in the upper half of the jungle?
Why did they suddenly show up in the bottom lane?!
The top lane and the bottom lane are worlds apart. At this moment, Ning can only watch helplessly as Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao, together with Koo Sung-bin's Kalista and Lee Sang-ho's Sett, forcefully dodge and kill Puff's Varus.
Although Lee Sang-ho was traded for taking the tower first, the final damage came from Titan, so the kill was credited to Titan after the tower secured the kill.
On one side, the AD carry is getting kills, and on the other side, the support is getting kills. Even a fool can see who's losing and who's winning!
Not to mention————
There are too many minions under the cream puff tower that I can't farm!
"It's over, Sun's Xin Zhao messed up the bottom lane, it feels like the game is about to collapse!"
"It would be acceptable if Sett's head went to Varus, but unfortunately it's Titan's head." Miller shook his head with a sigh.
"But there's nothing we can do; in that situation, we definitely can't give up any kills."
Since Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao has shown up in the bottom lane, Ning's Lee Sin naturally doesn't need to do any useless counter-ganking in the top lane.
He quickly controlled the Lee Sin to go to T1's upper jungle to trade jungle monsters.
But then another problem arises!
That is Ning's weakness of slow jungle clearing, which was magnified infinitely by Lee Doo-hwan at this moment!
First, while Ning was controlling Lee Sin to go to T1's top jungle to exchange jungle monsters, Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao had already finished ganking the bottom lane and ran into IG's bottom jungle, and started farming the Krugs in IG's bottom jungle.
In addition, Ning is known for his slow jungle clearing speed. As a result, when Lee Doo-hwan finished clearing three camps of jungle monsters in IG's lower jungle, Ning still had one camp of Krugs left to clear.
Lee Doo-hwan, after clearing IG's bottom jungle, is known for his relentless and unforgiving nature.
Having previously played for IG, he knew very well Ning's turtle-like jungle clearing speed and concluded that Ning definitely hadn't finished clearing his own top jungle yet.
Therefore, Lee Doo-hwan did not hesitate at all and decisively controlled Zhao Xin to run to the middle lane to help Lee Sang-hyeok's Tsar push the lane.
After pushing the line, he called Lee Sang-hyeok to go and get the river crabs from the riverbed.
Faced with Lee Doo-hwan's thuggish behavior, IG had no way to deal with it. Kang Seung-rok's Gnar could provide support, but that also meant that the Renekton could provide support as well.
As for Song Yijin in the mid lane, if he wants to provide support, he has to give up the minion wave. Giving up Orianna's development for a river crab and for the jungler Lee Sin is obviously a losing proposition, since even if Orianna goes, Smite may not be able to win the fight.
Therefore, IG had no choice but to give up the river crab in the upper half of the map.
After finishing the crabs in the upper half of the area, Lee Doo-hwan didn't linger and controlled Zhao Xin to go eat the crabs in the lower half of the area.
It's important to know that river crabs are crucial for junglers, not only because they provide vision of the river, but also because they offer valuable experience.
But now both river crabs have been taken by Lee Doo-hwan, and the bottom lane even got first blood right from the start!
So, even though the game had only just begun, IG was already at a disadvantage once again.
Time was ticking away, second by second.
After gaining an advantage in the jungle, Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao once again became inhuman.
Especially after his early tower dives, which helped the bottom lane gain an advantage, T1 secured the dragon as soon as it spawned.
After securing the dragon, Lee Doo-hwan, as usual, went to the mid lane to help Lee Sang-hyeok push the wave, and then continued farming the jungle.
"It's so annoying that he keeps helping Faker push the lane. Rookie was actually playing Orianna pretty well in lane this game." Miller couldn't help but complain when he saw this.
"Furthermore, if he helps Faker push the lane like this, Azir will definitely be slow to reach level six. I wonder if IG can seize this opportunity."
Upon hearing what the doll said, Rita, a big fan of Lee Doo-hwan, chimed in, "But correspondingly, Sun's Xin Zhao will also reach level six before Lee Sin!"
Her words caused a slight awkwardness in the room.
Clearly, this kid is a classic example of someone who never learns from mistakes; he only thinks about what's beneficial to himself and doesn't consider anything else.
[Damn, is this bitch even Chinese? Why is she always siding with outsiders!]
[Dude, I think this is a perfectly normal sentence, isn't it? Is Sister Tazi wrong?]
[No way, these days people will get defensive just for telling the truth?]
[You filthy bitch, you really like praising that bastard, huh? I suggest you lick his boots and try to get him to give you a bone!]
【No way—Dude, are you sure you're really a hater of Huan Chu?! Why are you rewarding him?!】
[Indeed, if Sister Tazi really ends up with Brother Huan one day, the zombies will be unhappy again!]
The people in the live stream were still arguing fiercely, with players fighting each other and fans fighting each other; it was quite a lively scene.
In the following period, Lee Doo-hwan's Zhao Xin, in addition to farming jungle camps to ensure his own development, would occasionally take advantage of his team's bot lane advantage to invade IG's lower jungle.
As time went on, Ning's slow jungle clearing speed was magnified by Lee Doo-hwan's Xin Zhao, not to mention that he would occasionally go to the mid lane to help Lee Sang-hyeok and collect some kickbacks.
So even after Lee Doo-hwan's Zhao Xin reached level six, Ning Wang's Lee Sin still lacked a lot of experience!
Taking advantage of reaching level six first, Lee Doo-hwan seized the opportunity, controlled Zhao Xin and cooperated with Lee Sang-hyeok's Azir, and the two of them forcibly killed Song Yijin's Orianna in the mid lane!
On the other hand, Ning was still acting as a bodyguard in the top lane. Although this allowed Gnar to easily get through the difficult period of fighting Renekton, it did not actually have any substantial impact on Jin Zhangdong's Renekton.
Of course, in the eyes of the zombies, Ning, a jungler who blindly protects the top lane, is a skilled player.
"There's really nothing we can do. With Xin Zhao and Azir both using Flash, Orianna has absolutely no chance!"
Watching Song Yijin's Orianna flash to dodge Azir's ultimate, only to be swept away from the turret by Zhao Xin's ultimate from behind, and finally beaten to death by the two of them, Wawa also sighed.
At this point, he had completely lost the excitement he had at the beginning of the match.
At first, he thought T1 definitely couldn't beat IG, but now he's thinking...
Can IG win a game today?

Forget winning a game, even controlling one dragon would be great!!!
