Chapter 44 Destiny
A live streaming room.
Wearing his classic pajamas, Dopa clicked into the live stream of the match while the game was still in queue.
There's no other reason than curiosity about LGD's new mid-laner's performance.
We often meet in ranked matches, and we win and lose to each other.
But Dopa felt that Knight's judgments and actions were often ahead of their time.
Soon we entered the BP interface, and after the usual banning process, we entered the BP interface.
On the left, LGD took off their skateboard shoes on the first floor, and the camera panned to IMP's serious expression.
It's as if it's saying: Damn it, you coward is going to vent your anger!
XuanXuanpi's face froze. No way QAQ.
Pyl was curious about the enemy bot lane's picks.
Then VG went straight for Braum and Jinx.
"Damn, it's open!"
IMP didn't seem to care much: "They can't hold on."
Jiang Xia nodded: "Let's go straight for Titan, and then Jungler, it's time to show off your Nidalee too."
"Okay!" Eimy replied enthusiastically.
Hehe, it's coming!
On the other side, Redmi's brows were almost furrowed together.
What kind of style is this? When did Eimy become someone who can play Nidalee?
Get Orianna for Easyhoon, and lock in Jarvan IV for the jungler.
Everyone is curious about what Knight will use to play this game.
Is he still the little fishman?
A few seconds passed.
Dope's eyes narrowed.
"Cards..."
For some reason, it was as if a string in Dope's heart had been touched, and a great sense of anticipation rose within him.
LGD secured the top and mid lanes with Twisted Fate and Shen on the fourth and fifth floors.
WE picked Poppy for their top laner in the fifth counter pick position.
"This game depends on the mid lane rhythm. Twisted Fate can't lose his lane, but it's a bit difficult to beat Orianna," Dopa commented.
After the translator conveyed the message, the live stream chat exploded with comments.
[Your left hand is very strong, no problem.]
[The streamer should study hard.]
[The person above is really funny, even imitating card games.]
Indeed, I haven't heard of a Fizz last-minute instance where the lane is over after just one auto-attack on a creep.
Watch closely; the competition will prove it.
【...】
The coach stepped down.
Hongmi looked at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia stared back at Hongmi.
This legendary coach, who came after him, almost led his team to the feat of achieving the Golden Road.
Although his reputation suffered a setback at TES in his later years, his coaching ability has never been in doubt.
Is this LGD's new coach?
Looking like a player, can someone so young do a good job as a coach?
However, Redmi's doubts vanished instantly.
In esports, skill speaks for itself.
LGD's current performance on the field is enough to prove everything.
Regarding this BP (Battle Points) performance, Redmi felt quite satisfied.
If LGD's mid-game lineup gets bogged down, VG will win easily later on.
Knight allocated 0-18-12 skill points and selected Thunder to use for trading blows.
At the same time, the card's damage output is somewhat awkward.
Sometimes you're just a little bit short of dealing damage and can't kill someone no matter what you do.
Fortunately, the Thunder can solve this.
After the BP was completed, everyone at LGD understood.
VG can only win this game through their mid and jungle. If Easyhoon can't carry the game aggressively, VG is doomed.
The lineups for both sides are as follows:
LGD (Blue) Shen, Nidalee, Twisted Fate, Bot Lane Kalista (Heal) and Nautilus.
VG (Red) Poppy, Jarvan IV, Orianna (Ghost), Bottom lane Jinx (Ghost) and Braum.
"VG's lineup is still the same late-game focused one, which looks very stable," commentator Yu Tong remarked.
Zhihuan added, "Yes, but LGD is under offensive pressure. It depends on how they set the pace."
From the outside world.
The Optimistic Family actually has a strong attachment to this match.
In the spring playoffs, LGD suffered a shock defeat against VG.
Although LGD gave them many surprises this summer.
But atonement is still necessary, therefore.
We need to get some interest from VG in the regular season first.
And so, it was met with high expectations from many people.
The competition has officially begun.
Dope calculated the mid-lane matchup: "It depends on how you handle the first and second levels. Orianna gets better and better against Twisted Fate, but you have to deal with Twisted Fate properly in front of him."
The mid-lane matchup is crucial in this game, so Jiang Xia directly stated that the game should start normally and that no actions should be taken at level one to interfere with the mid-lane matchup.
Let Knight focus on himself.
As it turned out, this was correct.
The level 1 mid lane minions converge.
Clockwerk wanted to take advantage of the weakness of level 1 cards and use its long range to push the enemy across the lane.
To everyone's surprise, the card was completely unfazed, and after using the Corruption Potion, it went straight for Q against A.
When A was about to hit the card for the fourth time, a circle of playing cards appeared under the card's feet.
"You leveled up E at level one, that's a great deal," Dope commented.
The fourth enhanced basic attack hits Orianna, even though the card took two Qs from Orianna throughout the process.
Even with a blood transfusion, you can still make a small profit.
After this incident, Easyhoon abandoned his plan to suppress the enemy and returned to the rear of the enemy ranks.
Knight caught this signal and made a judgment about the other party in an instant.
So... he's nothing special after all.
In an instant, the pre-match tension and anxiety vanished without a trace.
At that moment, he forgot that the man opposite him had a championship skin.
They treated him as just another ordinary opponent.
Soon, almost all the front-line soldiers were wiped out.
The card is used to pad the attack while simultaneously pressing forward.
Want to steal two cards?
Easyhoon understood perfectly, instantly using Q to trade blows while simultaneously attacking minions.
Knight's plan backfired, and a ripple of unease stirred within him.
He understood; this matchup wasn't going to be that simple.
But we still have to fight this wave, even if it means taking drugs.
Orianna triggered Thunderlord's Decree first, and due to the AOE effect of her Q skill, she reached level two first.
The card still pressed forward, and with its passive ability, it hit Orianna with a basic attack.
The next card was given to a low-health ranged minion in the distance.
The moment you reach number two, learn from W to draw a card, regardless of what kind of card it is.
He pressed W twice, tossed it to Clockwork, and left without looking back.
Lucky me, it's a blue card, so the damage is quite considerable.
At this point, Q, who had just finished sending out the card, was sending it away.
Reluctantly, I used QW, and now I'm out...
Under the camera's lens, Easyhoon's expression twitched. Did this guy calculate his CDs so accurately?
Knight took his position again and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Amazing, that was a great trade!" Dopa exclaimed sincerely.
"By holding onto the level 1 card to bait Orianna's Q, Orianna won't have her Puppet after reaching level 2, so her QW damage won't be dealt and she'll just get a free blue card from Twisted Fate. What was supposed to be a losing trade for Twisted Fate has been reversed."
After hearing the professional explanation, many people suddenly understood.
So there's this kind of game of strategy.
"Furthermore, the minion waves are currently very favorable for Twisted Fate, and Orianna is struggling in the laning phase."
Some people were puzzled: how could it have failed?
It doesn't matter if you finish off the enemy or anything.
Dopa just shook his head and smiled.
The following scene answered everything for him.
The mid lane continues to push towards the card's side; Orianna's QW combo just now disrupted the minion wave.
The ideal situation of keeping the minion wave in the middle is no longer possible.
In this way, the sports car line enters the blue square tower first, and with the help of the defensive tower's laser, the card reaches the third position and pushes forward first.
The pressured Orianna retreated, watching helplessly as the card switched to red and slowly pushed the lane to gain control.
This is the time when the river crab spawns, a time when junglers might encounter each other.
Therefore, VG's jungler had no choice but to leave.
Even without considering junglers, since Twisted Fate has Teleport and Clockwerk has Ghost.
The latter was defeated in the third round and lost control of the first wave of play.
Clockwerk was constantly controlled by the opponent during the recall rounds, putting him in a very passive position.
Either push the lane back and wait for the card to return, or you'll have to accept a loss on the lane.
Those who understand these things will understand, and Dop doesn't want to say anything more.
However, he felt that he hadn't seen a kid with such a high level of understanding of lane control in a long time.
Yeah, my friend Cheng Lu is one...
Dandy was a little uncomfortable because he didn't get to eat the river crab; something seemed off in the mid lane.
How could this matchup be so frustrating?
What is Easyhoon doing?
About 20 seconds later.
The director switched the camera back to the center.
The card continues to exert strong pressure, maintaining perfect positioning and distance.
Give the clockwork a vague distance that's both within reach and yet seems out of reach.
However, I didn't time it very well and still got hit by the Clockwork QW twice.
Jiang Xia was very confident in Knight's laning phase, but there was still room for improvement, as seen in this particular instance.
This is something that differs from understanding minion waves; you can only experience it for yourself.
This naturally involves the issue of a talent for distance perception.
In this situation in the mid lane, the jungler should logically be coming.
But this is VG, and without information about the opposing jungler, it's difficult for Dandy to take the initiative.
He would think, what if the other side is counter-camping?
That exploded, never mind, let's just keep playing.
Farming jungle camps is always a good idea.
"We can enter the jungle now." Knight focused intently and signaled towards the enemy's red buff area.
Eimy quickly followed the instructions, but was still wondering what was going on in her mind.
Damn it, this kid doesn't even call me Brother Xie anymore...
Four seconds passed.
Nidalee caught Jarvan IV in the jungle and unleashed a combo.
The prince, who had just used his EQ combo, could only use Flash to create distance.
however.
"The cards arrived? How come they arrived so quickly?"
A flashback resulted in a yellow card, followed by Nidalee's Q, sending Dandy off the field.
Eimy got First Blood and a set of Golems, and then he took off.
"The cards are moving so fast, but this is Orianna's jungle."
The replay shows that the card went directly through the blue team's F4 pass.
The Clockwerk player, who was farming minions under the tower, couldn't exert any pressure.
Redmi was looking at this from behind the scenes and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
How come our most reliable mid and jungle players are the first to run into trouble... What about the other lanes?
Redmi feels like it can foresee what will happen next.
The live stream chat was in an uproar: What a cool mid-jungle attack!
Dopa: "The mid-lane advantage has a huge ripple effect. Don't think that an advantage means getting a huge CS lead or a solo kill. This kind of counter-advantage advantage is the most difficult to achieve, allowing Twisted Fate to play a role that shouldn't be there in advance."
How much of the streamer's skill does this card possess?
It's definitely not bad at all.
[Haha, there are so many filial sons. The "left hand" effect is from playing on the professional stage, but Dopa can't even compete with pros just by playing ranked games?]
[Dopa also played professionally, but he got banned back then, so he's just another Faker, right?]
【hehe.】
But then, Dandy set his sights on the cards that weren't flashed.
Just as he was still pressing the line, Orianna suddenly activated Sprint.
Knight immediately sensed something was wrong. He was slowed down by QW, and the Prince on the flank followed up with EQ to knock him up, leaving him no room to escape.
Redmi was incredibly pleased.
Yes, even though you don't like to seek out opportunities, you should still take advantage of opportunities that you can simply go for.
"What a pity." Knight shook his head.
"Um...it's mine." Eimy said somewhat embarrassed.
Knight had told him beforehand that he would be in danger...
Tabe sighed, "This needs to be reviewed thoroughly. The mid laner said the jungler was still sleepwalking."
Jiang Xia hummed in agreement.
"A review isn't enough; we need to directly criticize him."
"However, it won't have a big impact. Twisted Fate is almost level six, and the enemy bot lane is having a tough time."
It's already been down by almost $20 from IMP.
"Orianna got a kill, and the mid lane game is affected again. The advantage we gained after the brilliant play by Twisted Fate is gone. This must be the jungler's fault." Dopa shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with the Nidalee.
[This is what a jungler is like.]
[I told you so, this is the guy LGD should replace the most.]
[Can't you just obediently act as a dog for the mid laner?]
After dying once, and with Clockwerk's level also increasing, Twisted Fate became noticeably more difficult to lane against.
However, Knight managed to hold on thanks to the recovery effect provided by the Corruption Potion.
Just as Pyl said, although Easyhoon is very experienced, he is not very aggressive in the laning phase.
Even after facing off against the previous mid laners, Knight felt that he was somewhat weaker.
"I'll be level 6 soon, with three minions, I can fly directly. You guys in the bottom lane should manage the minion wave."
Prior communication was the point that Jiangxia emphasized most during his post-mortem analysis.
On the field, it's all about anticipating the situation.
Soon, Eimy, the Nidalee, relied on her agile movement to...
Bypassing VG's extensive mid-lane vision, they moved to the tri-bush behind the blue side's first blue buff tower to cover their retreat.
Then, the moment the card reached level 6, he suddenly abandoned the three ranged units and went straight down.
Dopa's expression instantly changed: "They're about to make their move! LGD's entire bottom bracket is ready! The coordination is incredible."
VG's bot lane, with Jinx and Braum positioned far back, were prepared to safely farm under the tower.
Even if some units slip through, it's better than not being able to play at all.
This is XuanXuanpi's idea; he hopes it will be like the Spring Split.
LGD players tend to overextend themselves and feed, but then their mid laner steps up and carries the game in the late game.
Suddenly, I heard Easyhoon's signal from the mid lane, and I was still a little dazed.
Two seconds later, the minion wave entered the tower.
A huge eyeball appeared above the heads of the five VG players.
The Fate from the Cards
LGD's superiors are going to throw the game! That was XuanXxuanpi's first thought.
However, he suddenly realized something.
Damn, our jungler is in the top half of the map, and the top and mid laners haven't been picked off yet.
What should I do?
The card landed, the yellow card was in hand, and Braum raised his shield to block.
LGD's idea was to instantly kill Braum.
Titan caught the hook, and Nidalee's dart from behind pierced Braum's lower back. Combined with Kalista's spear pull, Xiao Duan fell to the ground.
Then, Knight stood at the edge of the turret, waiting to retreat at any time.
Pyl flashes and auto-attacks to stun Jinx, then Nidalee pounces in.
"Jinx couldn't escape either, Twisted Fate tanked the last hit before leaving the tower, LGD executed a perfect tower dive!"
"Wow, VG's bottom half of the map looks pretty bad now."
"Yeah, the next tower will definitely fall in this wave too."
"Skateboard shoes got two kills, IMP is going to carry this game."
Redmi frowned, not blaming his teammates; there was really nothing they could do about it.
All I can say is that LGD was too decisive and their teamwork was too good.
He also wanted to see that happen with VG, but... Redmi really didn't have that confidence.
"Alright, that's enough, I'm going to play ranked now." Dopa turned off the live stream, already certain of the game's outcome.
VG is far inferior to LGD, in every aspect.
With Twisted Fate and Nidalee's tempo taking off, Kalista is unstoppable in the mid-game.
Every subsequent wave of change is predictable.
If Twisted Fate is in good form, LGD will definitely attack.
Judging from this setup, VG has no chance of withstanding any attack.
"No wonder they changed coaches..."
Upon seeing a comment, Dopa nodded and went to Rank.
.....
Soon, the second ultimate move was ready.
"It's flying up! Poppy's got an appetite too!"
This version of Shen with a naked Trinity Force can quickly take down tanks, and with a Yellow Card, he can follow up with a reliable Nidalee dart from a distance.
Bobby had no chance of escaping.
After that, the more Eimy was hit, the more he smiled.
"Bro, I didn't miss a single Q this game, when did I become so accurate?"
"That's not fair. Either K-Emperor helped you freeze it, or I hooked it. If you can miss with your Q, are you even human?"
"Brother Jiang's BP is great, I'm having so much fun."
Even someone with only average skill levels like myself can swim the dragon; the chat is probably in shock right now.
What comes to mind:
Holy crap, when did the jungler start mastering Nidalee?
That's a really good jungler.
Eimy is my number one jungler.
These words.
Eimy seemed to hum a tune right there on stage.
Brother Jiang, from now on you're my brother, no, my godfather!
Under such heavy pressure from LGD, VG was forced to flee in disarray.
Easyhoon has only one goal right now: to get my three-piece set... no, I need four.
But where would we find so much time?
Just as I was thinking that, another "God's Eye" appeared above my head.
He knew that another unlucky teammate was about to suffer a terrible fate.
Sure enough, 5 seconds later.
XuanXuanpi, who was connecting the line in the middle of the station: "Damn it!"
The central tower fell instantly.
Redmi blew its nose in the background.
So, it's this painful.
The opposing mid laner's influence extended throughout the entire game, which is honestly quite exaggerated.
He was somewhat impressed by the opposing coach's boldness in placing such faith in the cards.
On one hand, he felt a sense of loss for talent, thinking that if he were the one leading Knight...
Within three years, he will surely be renowned.
The more I think about these things, the more bitter I feel.
On the other hand, Heart, who has been in a very good mood lately, is full of dreams about Knight.
This is only Knight's first season, but what he has shown is terrifying to him.
It's conceivable that as long as he maintains a good mindset, avoids any off-field scandals, and doesn't talk about girlfriends...
The future is very promising, and it's foreseeable that he will become a world-class player.
Then he glanced subtly at Jiang Xia, who wasn't particularly excited, knowing that this person was there to guide him.
This child may take some detours, but he will definitely not end up like many so-called geniuses who lead their paths to ruin.
What a pity, Xiao Wei.
........
Back in the game, it was another attack from LGD, with Twisted Fate flying into the backline and Shen landing his ultimate.
With the Titan initiating the team fight, Nidalee followed up with damage, and Kalista finished off the remaining enemies.
The entire team fight went smoothly, and only then did the commentators realize they were praising the B-P (Best Player) strategy.
We arrived at the Highlands Regiment.
Pyl charged into the tower with his bare hands, IMP's hand speed was off the charts, and he was practically dancing next to VG's crystal.
At this moment, Orianna, who had finally managed to unleash her ultimate ability, had it dodged by both Twisted Fate and Kalista using Flash.
The outcome is already decided.
VG players are falling one after another.
At that moment, Easyhoon took his hands off the keyboard, his right hand propping up his glasses and supporting his eye sockets; there was simply no way to turn the tide...
This happens in so many matches: a bad start followed by a stalemate until the end, with teammates constantly yelling for a retreat, to stall, to run away...
I finally made it to the point where I could come out of retirement, but the team battles were already at zero.
You... how have you treated me so poorly...
