IG got Irelia and Gragas on the first and second floors.

Wawa commented: "Here it comes! Irelia is on the field again. In this game, we can expect Rookie's Irelia to perform well in the middle lane. The pressure will be on Doinb. Can he hold on?"

Miller suddenly had a different idea: "Is this Irelia really a mid laner? I don't think so. Does Theshy definitely not know how to play Irelia? Although he hasn't played it since the update, what if?"

FPX got the Sword Demon and Varus on the second and third floors.

Rita analyzed: "Aatrox? This should be the top lane Aatrox. I feel that the top lane Aatrox should be able to beat Irelia. Both heroes are very strong and were reworked several years ago."

EDG locked EZ on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

EDG banned Braum and Morgana in the second round.

In the second round, FPX banned Noxus and Gangplank.

IG locked Tam on the fourth floor, and FPX got Kindred and Alistar on the fourth and fifth floors.

This leaves only IG's fifth floor left to choose from.

Wawa commented: "FPX's lineup is very solid, with four cores, and only one auxiliary Alistar is not the core. It seems that this is also to deal with Irelia. It's good enough that Irelia can limit a core."

"Besides, FPX still has Kindred's ultimate to save their lives, so it's easy for Irelia to return empty-handed in the first wave."

IG locked Yasuo on the fifth floor!
Wawa exclaimed, "Yasuo? Gragas and Yasuo are indeed a good combination, but should this Yasuo be played in the top lane or the mid lane? I personally feel that Yasuo is easier to play against Aatrox, because it is difficult for Aatrox to hit Yasuo with his blade, and Yasuo is too flexible."

"In comparison, Irelia is better against Clockwork than Yasuo. Now Yasuo's hero strength is not as high as before. It is not easy to suppress these ranged mages in the middle lane."

Rita agreed: "Yasuo is indeed a good player to play against Aatrox. Of course, it still depends on IG's opinion now."

Both sides began to adjust their respective line-up situations, and soon, the lineup was determined:

Red side IG: Top single Irelia, Jungle Barrel, Mid single Yasuo, ADCEZ, Support Tam

Blue side FPX: top laner Aatrox, jungler Kindred, mid laner Taliyah, ADC Varus, support Alistar
Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen began to set the pace: "This is a fight lineup, let's get excited! Just fight on the line, suppress the three lines!"

Smlz muttered: "Our bottom lane may not be easy to suppress, the opponent's bottom lane is still quite strong."

Baolan said: "Try your best. If you really can't do it, there is nothing you can do."

In the first level group fight, both sides had no idea and just stood in defensive positions, so there was no fight.

The first wave of soldiers is coming, and the first round of wild monsters are about to refresh.

Yuan Shen chose to start with blue buff, and with the help of the duo, he got the blue buff and cleared all the wild monsters in the first round.

The director's camera was focused on the top lane, where Irelia was laning against Aatrox. GimGoon's Aatrox started to put pressure on the lane at level 1, blocking the minion line. If Irelia came up to make the last hit, she would be consumed.

Wawa commented: "It was quite unexpected that GimGoon chose Aatrox in this game. I thought he would choose a tank hero and play in the top lane, but I didn't expect him to go all-out."

At this moment, Irelia reached level 2 and used her Q skill to take down minions one by one to stack her passive.

The Sword Demon sensed the danger and was about to retreat, but suddenly, Irelia used her Q skill to close the distance and at the same time, she used the Twin Blades!
"So fast!" Wawa exclaimed.

The twin blades flashed by, but unfortunately missed the target and were dodged by the Sword Demon using his E skill.

Miller continued, "Just watching Jin Gong's laning phase makes me feel it's very dangerous. If he gets hit by the double blades, he will probably lose a lot of health."

In the middle lane, Rookie's Yasuo used the E skill to close the distance with Taliyah. With Wind in his hand, Taliyah used the Q skill to kite while retreating. Yasuo used Wind and used the minions to retreat.

"Move!" Doinb tried to move, but it was useless and he was knocked away.

Rita commented: "Good prediction! Now IG's mid and top laners are pushing forward. I feel that in terms of laning ability, IG's mid laner has a clear advantage, but FPX is not very good at this. Their playing style is more holistic, and their individual abilities are not very prominent."

Three and a half minutes into the game, Yuan Shen's Gragas got double buffs and started looking for opportunities to GANK.

The chance is better in the top lane. Irelia has already exchanged blood with Aatrox once, and Aatrox is now at half blood. Yuan Shen only needs to use the E skill to control Aatrox, and a set of skills combined with Irelia can complete the kill.

However, when Yuan Shen entered the triangle grass on the blue side's top lane, he suddenly had a close contact with the opposing Kindred, and Kindred was actually in the grass!

Wawa received the message: "This time, Xiaotian didn't seem to want to let Yuan Shen go. Yuan Shen used his W to get the damage reduction effect. Kindred continued to chase Yuan Shen and used his Q skill. Kindred used his Q skill and jumped to the side to avoid it. No! Gragas pushed forward with his stomach full and hit Kindred from the side, pushing him onto the Q skill. It hit him!"

"Aatrox is close, but Gragas uses Phase Rush and moves very fast. He takes advantage of Kindred being slowed down to distance himself from him. Before he finishes, Irelia comes over. The soldiers in the top lane enter the defensive tower. Irelia comes over to support him. IG also wants to fight!"

The situation suddenly became complicated. After Irelia came over from the top lane, Yuan Shen also turned back. Now it was Aatrox and Kindred that were in a more awkward position. They were sandwiched from the front and back at the triangle grass position.

"Irelia, kill Irelia first!" Xiaotian gave Irelia a kill mark. Behind Irelia was their defense tower, so they could advance or retreat.

So the Aatrox used Q1E, Kindred went forward to output, Irelia used her W skill and chose to take it hard, the Aatrox used Hellfire Chains, followed up with Q2, and then stopped attacking, wanting to wait until Irelia's W skill was over, otherwise he would have to wait a long time for his next set of skills, and if Irelia didn't die, he and Kindred would be in trouble.

At this moment, Yuan Shen's belly was filled with wine!

"Wine barrel!" Xiao Tian reminded him, and then he suddenly used Flash the moment the wine barrel approached...

It was too late! Gragas's belly hit Kindred first! Irelia followed up with a double-edged sword to control him.

Rita explained: "Qian Jue didn't use Flash. Was he slow to react? Irelia used her Q skill to get close, and used basic attacks to deal damage. She continued to use basic attacks on Aatrox and used Q3. Irelia's health was almost gone! But Kindred had even less health, so she used Flash, and Gragas followed up with a Q skill to take her down!"

"It's two against one now, should Aatrox continue to attack? Irelia is low on health! No, Taliyah is coming! It's not easy for Irelia to move forward this time, Taliyah is coming from the jungle and blocking her!"

Theshy was very decisive: "You go."

Yuan Shen also knew that he couldn't wait, otherwise he would die. Although Yasuo had arrived, there were no soldiers nearby, making it difficult for him to operate.

So Taliyah cooperated with Aatrox to complete the kill, one for one.

Wawa commented: "This wave is acceptable to both sides, mainly because Gragas's handling was too good. His handling restricted the opponent's Kindred, causing Kindred to not be effective in the first place. Gragas's meaty charge to knock Kindred into the rolling Gragas was really smart, otherwise his Phase Rush would not be easy to trigger."

The game continues, and after Irelia is resurrected, she TPs to the top lane.

Although she died once, the sword girl was still strong. Yuan Shen returned to the city for supplies and made the Dark Seal. He knew that this battle would be very intense, so he could make the Book of Death as soon as possible.

The ADCs of both sides in the bottom lane are using their Q skills frantically to consume each other. Generally speaking, Varus has more advantages than EZ. His Q skill has a longer range and higher damage, and the key is that it will not be blocked by minions.

Five minutes into the game, Xiaotian's Kindred appeared in the top lane again. Theshy's Irelia found it difficult to move forward, so she chose to fight back, but in the end she almost failed to replace the opponent's Kindred.

Wawa explained: "Now Xiaotian has started to play a targeted role. He knows that the top lane Knife Girl likes to push the minion line and get caught, so he chose to go to the top lane to catch her. Now Knife Girl is 0-2, and it's not so easy to beat her in the laning phase."

Rita continued, "Also, the timing of Kindred's arrival in the top lane is also very critical. If he chooses to come later and wait for Irelia to reach level 6, he will most likely be replaced."

The game time is seven and a half minutes, and Yuan Shen's Gragas is at level six.

The opposing Taliyah is now very cautious, and the combination of Gragas and Yasuo is still quite scary.

Taliyah can only use Q skill to finish off the enemy from behind.

There was no chance in the middle lane, so Yuan Shen chose to go to the upper jungle area of ​​the opponent:
"Old Song, look at the blue buff on the other side, it's time to refresh it."

Rookie understood what Yuan Shen meant, he was going to counter jungle, so he quickly pushed the middle lane line towards the defensive tower.

However, at this moment, a fight broke out on the road!

"Ionia, your spirit is high and immortal!" Irelia's double blades hit the Sword Demon, and she used the RQ combo, and then dealt crazy damage after getting close.

Aatrox used his ultimate to counterattack and used Q1E, but was followed up by Irelia's Q. Aatrox's Q did not hit the blade, so the damage was not enough. Aatrox used Hellfire Chain, and Irelia moved sideways!
Miller exclaimed, "Seen through! Aatrox's moves were seen through! Irelia's positioning is so cool, it's definitely predictive positioning. Irelia continued to attack him with basic attacks, and he still had a part of his Q skill to use. He used his Q skill to attack and finished with a basic attack. Aatrox's Q3 hadn't landed yet, and his ultimate resurrection passive was triggered!"

Jin Gong's Sword Demon continued to retreat. He could still be resurrected, but his movement speed was very slow in this state. Then, the double blades flashed by, and the Sword Demon who had just been resurrected used the E skill. Although he used the E skill, he was still controlled.

So Irelia continued to chase, using basic attacks to deal damage, and finally used W to finish off the kill.

Rita cheered: "Theshy's Irelia completed the cross-level challenge. He, with a 0-2 Irelia, killed the 1-0-1 Aatrox alone. This is too strong!"

Wawa agreed: "She is indeed very strong. I thought it was difficult for Irelia to fight in the top lane, but I didn't expect that she could complete a solo kill. It feels like a personal operation. She just showed off by beating GimGoon."

On the other side, Yuan Shen and Rookie had already reached the upper half jungle area of ​​the opponent. The opposite blue BUFF refreshed, and Yuan Shen chose to start fighting directly.

"Be careful at the bottom lane, the opponent may go there." Yuan Shen reminded the bottom lane.

Now the Sword Demon was killed in the top lane, and the opponent has one less person, so they may choose to give up the upper jungle area.

EZ and Tam began to establish vision, mainly to see if they would be tower dived.

"They are coming." Sure enough, Baolan soon discovered that the opposing Kindred had already reached the bottom lane. Although he did not see Taliyah's position, he could imagine that Taliyah was probably looking for an angle to use her ultimate to block the retreat route in the bottom lane.

EZ and Tam could only continue to retreat and give up a wave of soldiers.

Yasuo returned to the middle lane to develop, Yuan Shen's Gragas counter-jungled, and then looked for opportunities to attack.

Soon, the opposing Taliyah returned to the middle lane and was developing under the defensive tower. The moment Taliyah used her W skill to clear the minion line, Yuan Shen threw out his ultimate move through the wall, and Taliyah was directly blown away!

Rookie's Yasuo followed up with his ultimate, Last Breath. He deliberately waited for a while, waiting for Taliyah to completely fly out before using his ultimate.

Wawa commented: "Grand Barrel found a very insidious angle. This wave was not good. Taliyah didn't have W and was chased by Yasuo. He had no choice but to give up Flash and retreat."

By using Taliyah's flash, Rookie and Yuan Shen achieved their goal.

Eleven minutes into the game, Yuan Shen's Gragas came to the top lane with his ultimate.

He had a feeling that the opponent was planning to gank the top lane instead of the middle lane.

Because Taliyah has no flash, the middle lane is now easy to be caught. In a two-on-two situation, FPX does not have an advantage, and is even at a great disadvantage.

So, Yuan Shen did the opposite.

He chose to enter the bushes from the line. As the line of soldiers moved forward, Yuan Shen continued to move forward and stood in the bushes near the opposite side.

coming!

The opposing Sword Demon suddenly activated his ultimate and attacked, it was obvious that someone was coming, so Irelia pretended to retreat.

Kindred came from the river. The Sword Demon was not in a hurry to attack. He used his ultimate to speed up and approach. Q1 hit and followed up with Hellfire Chain. The opposite Kindred came up to help.

Irelia uses her W skill to reduce the damage she takes.

Yuan Shen's Gragas also began to prepare, leaving a Q skill in the bushes, and then suddenly used his ultimate!

Wawa commented: "Gragas started to attack! He used his ultimate to blast Kindred back, and Yidu followed up, cooperating with Hongwen's Q skill to deal explosive damage! Irelia followed up with the control, QAQ took him down, and Kindred didn't even use his ultimate!"

"Xiaotian probably didn't expect that Gragas would ambush in the top lane. Tucker, you would think that Gragas would go to the middle lane, but that's not the case."

Rita in the tunnel: "That's true. Now Aatrox has no choice but to leave. Gragas is very fat. Yuan Shen got a lot of kills in the early stages of this game. I feel like he's going to be the D carry this time."

After completing the GANK in the top lane, Yuan Shen chose to attack the Rift Herald and took it down first.

At the same time, the bottom lane tower was already crumbling and was about to be taken down by the opponent.

Baolan said: "The bottom lane needs support, otherwise the defense tower will be gone."

Yuan Shen simply told them to go: "Let's give up the bottom lane tower, just don't die."

Thirteen minutes into the game, IG's bottom lane tower was taken by the opponent.

The two sides switched lanes, Taliyah and Yasuo went to the bottom lane, and the duo was in the middle lane.

Wawa commented: "The laning phase ended too early, which is not good news for IG. After all, their lead was due to the jungler's tempo. Now it's not so easy for the jungler to lead the tempo. The duo coming to the middle lane will give them a better field of view."

Fifteen minutes into the game, Yuan Shen chose to repeat his old trick, this time ambushing in the bottom lane and moving forward along the line of soldiers. (End of this chapter)
