The mid lane soldiers entered the defensive tower, and KZ began to use standard tactics, using the defensive tower to delay time, intending to delay the time of the big dragon buff.
However, IG's pace in pushing the tower was very fast, and the policewoman walked up and attacked the tower directly.
If someone from KZ wants to put pressure on Caitlyn, Taliyah will use her Q skill to fight back. KZ really doesn't dare to take the risk, as they are worried that they will be carried back by Taliyah's W skill.
Soon, the middle lane soldiers reached the front of the high ground, and the policewoman placed five traps to block the high ground, preventing KZ's people from getting out.
Wawa commented: "She's set the trap, what should KZ do now? It seems that this high ground is hard to defend. Xia goes forward to clear the minion line, Tsar summons sand soldiers, and Taliyah uses his ultimate!"
Suddenly, Rookie's Taliyah used his ultimate from the side, blocking both Azar and Xayah on the other side.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, the policewoman attacked the tower frantically, and the defense tower was about to be destroyed!
At this moment, Rookie made a move that no one expected!
He chose to use his ultimate to fly up, get close to the opposite Xayah and Tsar, and use his W skill.
"Feathers all over the sky!"
Originally, Xia planned to dodge by moving, but found that she couldn't dodge and the way was blocked, so she had no choice but to use her ultimate.
Miller exclaimed, "Isn't it too risky for Taliyah to go deep alone? Rakan uses his ultimate to rush forward, and Olaf and Shen attack at the same time! Xin Zhao! Xin Zhao rushes up! With his ultimate, Crescent Ward, he sweeps away Rakan, Tsar, and Shen on the opposite side, interrupting their skills!"
"Theshy's Gnar! Gnar enters the field from the other side. Is no one watching him? The Tathagata is controlling three people. Braum follows up with his ultimate. KZ is going to explode in this team fight!"
The policewoman started to harvest crazily. The first one on the opposite side was the Tsar, who was controlled until death without using any skills.
Then came Xia. Without her ultimate, she lost her room to operate and was easily taken down.
The team battle turned into a one-sided massacre!
Wawa explained: "This is IG's coordination! Just now when we saw Taliyah suddenly rushing forward, we thought he was giving up, but we were wrong. This is IG's teamfight and coordination ability. They won the teamfight like crazy sweeping fallen leaves!"
"It's almost time for IG to win the second game of the series. KZ doesn't have many chances left!"
After IG completed the team wipe of KZ, they pushed the tower together and prepared for another wave.
The director gave a close-up of the five KZ players, and now all five of them are very autistic.
The new Rascal didn't have the same aggressiveness as before, and he found that he had taken the game too lightly before.
His teammates gave him a lot of help in this game, but when facing Theshy's Gnar, he just couldn't achieve the effect he had imagined and couldn't expand his advantage on his own.
KZ base crystal exploded and the game ended.
The KZ team stood up and walked towards the lounge, only to meet the IG team in the corridor.
The people on IG looked much more relaxed and happy, talking and laughing.
Rascal stared at Yuan Shen for several times, imagining that if he could exchange junglers, perhaps the result would be completely different.
IG returned to the lounge, and Fu Manduo came up and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! We are now leading 2-1, and victory is within our grasp!"
"Keep up the form and try to beat them 3-0!"
Ning Wang also came up and said, "Is Zhao Xin very strong in the jungle now? When I played him before, I felt that he was just okay, not that strong. He might be a little better in pub games, but not so good in competitions."
Baolan complained: "That's your Xin Zhao. Are your Xin Zhao and Yuan Shen's Xin Zhao the same thing?"
Prince Ning complained: "Princess Lan, don't go too far. Your Braum is also a mess..."
The two of them started arguing.
Yuan Shen said: "I think they will come up with something different in the next game. We can't be too relaxed. The more times come, the more the enemy likes to let go and fight. Maybe they will really win."
Rookie nodded: "It is possible. BDD seems to like playing warriors and heroes that require operation. It seems that he was forced to play Tsar. He doesn't feel very good at playing."
Theshy said: "It seems that the mid-lane assassins in this version are not very good. With the stopwatch, the assassins can't perform at all."
Ning Wang complained: "The designer who invented the stopwatch is really sick. Many heroes in the past are not fun to play now. The opponent always uses a stopwatch to show off to me."
Baolan retorted: "Is there a possibility that you can also make a stopwatch? If you think this thing is really that amazing, you can make it."
On the KZ side, everyone in KZ was also discussing tactics.
BDD said, "I won't play Tsar next time. This hero is hard to win."
The atmosphere became a little tense, and it was obvious that someone was emotional when he said this.
It is easy for a conflict to break out at this time, but the coach chooses another way to deal with it:
"From the last game, it seems that the Tsar is not a good choice. You can choose whatever you like in the next game."
The coach is not giving up on treatment. He just wants to give it a try. What if a miracle happens?
Judging from the current situation, if KZ wants to beat IG, it can only rely on a miracle.
After hearing this, everyone in KZ started to think
The short break is over and both players are ready to take the stage.
In the commentary booth, Wawa said: "The third match between the two teams is about to begin. The score is now 2-0. Although many people were optimistic about KZ before the game, it is still very difficult for KZ to face IG at the moment."
Rita continued: “I think for KZ, their top priority right now is to find a way to win a game.”
"We can only talk about other things after we win a game. Let's take it one step at a time."
As a commentator of LPL, generally speaking, I will support the LPL teams.
They will only speak up for the other side when there is a huge gap in strength and score between the two sides and the other side has almost no hope, which is a time like now.
Players from both teams came onto the court again and the third game began.
In this game, IG is on the red side and KZ is on the blue side.
The director gave a close-up of the KZ players. All five of them looked very serious, with heavy steps, as if they might die after the game.
IG was more relaxed, with Ning Wang even arguing with Bao Lan.
Yuan Shen sat down, put on his headphones, and entered the third BP.
BAN hero stage:
IG: EZ, Policewoman, Xia
KZ: Karma, Vladimir, Cassiopeia.
Wawa commented: "It feels wrong. In this game, KZ banned two or three mid laners. Are they planning to continue to break through the middle lane? But I don't think it will be easy to do, after all, it's Rookie."
Miller analyzed: "It seems that both sides have special ideas in this game. One is targeting the bottom lane, and the other is targeting the middle lane. Both have exceeded a certain level."
KZ got Zac on the first floor, and IG locked in the Master Yi and Shen on the first and second floors.
Wawa commented: "What's going on? Pick Shen directly? Is this a teaching game? Theshy picked the hero that the opponent's top laner used in the previous game, and picked it so early, which feels a bit provocative."
Miller replied: “Right, now it depends on how KZ responds.”
KZ locked Gnar and Alistar on the second and third floors. Rita commented: "He really picked them! Rascal has a bad temper. When Theshy picked his hero, he immediately responded."
"Then the top laners on both sides definitely can't afford to lose this game. Once they lose, it will be considered that it's not the hero's fault, but the human's fault."
The director gave a close-up of the top laners of both teams. Rascal was twisting his neck, and seemed a little excited, as if he really wanted to prove himself.
Theshy looked very calm, as if nothing had happened.
IG got Ryze on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.
IG banned Tsar and Malzahar.
KZ also banned Troll and Olaf.
IG locked Tam on the fourth floor.
It was KZ's turn to choose. KZ got Kog'Maw and Yasuo on the fourth and fifth floors!
When Yasuo was picked, the whole audience was very excited, especially KZ fans:
"Here it comes! BDD's Yasuo!"
"See the strength of Korea's No. 1 Yasuo!"
“He’s probably the strongest Yasuo among professional players.”
"I think it should have been taken out a long time ago to teach Rookie a lesson."
After Yasuo was taken out, the director gave Rookie a close-up.
I just wanted to see how he would react. At this moment, Rookie was smiling, as if he saw something interesting.
At this time, Yuan Shen had not yet chosen his jungler. The director gave Yuan Shen another close-up, and Yuan Shen had already made his choice.
IG got the stone man on the fifth floor!
Wawa explained: "What's the situation with this Malphite? Where is he going? Malphite top lane, Shen as jungle? That seems to work. Yuan Shen's Shen is pretty good."
Rita agreed, "That's right. Yuan Shen should be the jungler of Shen. He can't be the jungler of Malphite or Tamriel."
Both sides began to adjust their lines, but things did not develop as they imagined.
IG really switched the Stone Man to Yuan Shen, and then stopped switching.
The director gave a close-up of IG. Everyone in IG seemed quite calm and there was no apparent problem.
Finally, with 20 seconds left in the countdown, IG still did not adjust the line-up, and the lineup was finalized:
Red side IG: top laner Shen, jungler Malphite, mid laner Ryze, ADC Shifu, support Tam
Blue side KZ: top single Gnar, jungle Zac, mid single Yasuo, ADC Kog'Maw, support Alistar
Wawa exclaimed: "Ah? IG is serious? They really let the stone man play jungle? No way? This hero's jungle...the W skill is AOE and can cancel the backswing of the basic attack."
"The E skill is also AOE, and it seems that it is not impossible to hit, but the speed is not very fast. The most important thing is that if he is not level 6, he has no ganking ability at all."
Miller continued: "I feel like his Stone Man is used to target Kog'Maw and Yasuo. These two heroes are very afraid of Stone Man's E skill Earthquake, and they really need attack speed."
Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen began to lead the pace: "Develop before level 6 in this game, don't make trouble, I can't help you if you make trouble."
Baolan responded: "We will avoid giving them any chances, don't worry."
Rookie said: "I controlled the minion line in the middle lane, and the opponent's Yasuo was a bit skilled. I have seen his Yasuo before."
Even Rookie said this, and the pressure in the middle lane was quite high.
Theshy said: "I will develop in the top lane."
Yuan Shen smiled: "Why don't I believe that you will only develop, you will definitely go up and operate with the opponent, I know you too well."
Theshy responded: "If the opponent goes too far, I will definitely fight back. I can't let the opponent bully me."
Soon, the first wave of wild monsters refreshed, and Yuan Shen got the blue buff with the help of the duo.
The director gave a close-up of Yuan Shen. Yuan Shen chose the W and E skills at level 2.
Wawa explained: "Although it is a stone man, what you see from Yuan Shen's stone man is completely different from other stone men. His stone man is very smart, has a high operation frequency, and is very flexible. He constantly interweaves basic attacks and skills, and the speed of clearing the jungle is faster than I thought."
Yuan Shen cleared all the way to the top lane and established the first round of vision in the middle and top lanes, blocking all the routes that the opponent could use to counter-jungle.
The opponent did not intend to counter jungle.
At four minutes in, the opponent's Zac tried to gank the middle lane, but Ryze dodged his Q skill and nothing happened.
Yuan Shen did nothing but focus on clearing the jungle.
In the top lane, Theshy's Shen faced Rascal's Gnar, and the two were evenly matched.
Although Rascal wanted to go up and consume the enemy's energy, Theshy used the bushes to avoid his consumption, making it difficult for him to gain much advantage.
In the middle lane, this kind of Yasuo is naturally not the type who will keep using E all the time.
Yasuo is slowly controlling the minion wave, and will rarely rush up suddenly to let Ryze hit him unless he sees a real opportunity.
As for the bottom lane, both sides of the bottom lane are purely for development.
The match lasted six minutes, and the single lane gradually reached level six.
Rookie ran out of mana, so he went back to the city for supplies and TPed out to continue laning.
Wawa explained: "So far, the kills are still zero to zero, there is no obvious advantage or disadvantage, and the economic gap is almost negligible."
"It depends on which jungler sets the pace. I think the middle lane is very likely. The opponent's Zac is easy to kill with the cooperation of Yasuo."
Seven minutes into the game, Yuan Shen helped the mid laner get the blue buff and he also reached level six.
Now you need to find a place to use your ultimate skill, get an assist or get a kill.
While you can also counter-camp, counter-camping mid lane seems like a good option.
However, the opponent may not necessarily GANK the middle lane. They may think that the top and middle lanes are the easiest to cooperate with, but the opponent will also think so, wondering if they will be counter-ganked.
So there is a psychological game issue here.
Yuan Shen first came to the middle lane to help with vision and light up the vision below. This vision needed to be extended to the opposite jungle area, because when Zac's E skill level was high, the flight distance was very far.
Yuan Shen walked towards the bottom lane and wanted to attack it.
The opponent's bottom lane hasn't returned yet, and its health is about half gone.
Suddenly, while Yuan Shen was still walking down, Zac appeared in the middle.
The angle of Zac was very tricky. He actually jumped out from the red team's big bird pit. Rookie was not prepared at all and used flash to retreat.
But Zac flashed and hit Ryze with Q1, pulled the minions back with Q2, and Yasuo followed up with his ultimate!
Miller commented: "Zac launched a gank in the middle lane. Ryze seemed to be going to die even if he gave up. As long as he was knocked up, no matter how he was knocked up, it would be dangerous."
"Ryze's operation and positioning are useless. This Yasuo's skills are quite accurate. All of them hit the target!"
Yasuo got the first blood in the middle lane! (End of this chapter)
