Chapter 140 The mechanism is the mechanism! It's not the first day!
Chapter 140 The mechanism is the mechanism! It's not the first time!
A wave of double-line alien attack and defense directly caused a drastic change in the rhythm of the game.
Both sides had their second towers pushed down along the way, which means that a sideline of soldiers can easily be led into extremely deep enemy territory, which will be a huge test for the single-lane side.
But viewers who know the LCK style know it clearly.
The operation during the transition period is the foundation of the Korean team!
Logically speaking, this is the time when T1 will be able to display their expertise, gradually turn the situation around, and finally reach their strongest period.
The Korean commentator, standing from a God's perspective, is preparing to appreciate T1's picturesque operational skills.
But suddenly I found that the T1 lineup seemed to have some contradictions.
"In this match of T1, it seems that there is no hero who can actively find the rhythm?" The Roaring Emperor said hesitantly.
"The Treant's strong opening ability relies on flash, Viktor mainly fights in positional battles, Shen must develop solo first, and the support is a cat"
"Yes," Wolf had seen it a long time ago, his expression a little stern: "In the first game, it was because the opponent's female police system progressed too smoothly. In this game, we lacked a role to find the rhythm."
“Is this the opponent’s BP design?”
T1 is best at operating during the lane transition period, relying on the team's keen sense of smell and strong discipline to continuously erode opportunities through strong offense and defense.
In a nutshell, you can't catch my people, but I can catch yours!
But why can they do this?
Ye Bo was very curious about this, so he watched a lot of T1's game videos and noticed some clues from them.
Finally, three points are summarized.
First, the team has extremely strong discipline, like a piece of conjoined steel plate.
However, this was already evident in the mid-term operations of the first game. It seemed that as long as the middle lane was suppressed and difficult to distract, cracks would appear on the steel plate.
Secondly, it is the strong laning strength in all three lanes, which can often create a single-player advantage in the laning phase and then make a breakthrough in the position during the lane transition phase.
This point no longer works in this game.
T1 chose a lineup with a slow early-game rhythm, and was also hit by the opponent's perfect early-game offensive, and now has no positional advantage at all.
The third is assistance!
In T1's command, Faker is responsible for making key decisions and filling in the gaps in defense, and is a commander who tends to be defensive and overall.
However, the main attacker was not the jungler Oner.
It's the auxiliary Keria.
Ye Bo discovered that this support player had a strong desire to do things, and it was the same in the first game as well, which even led to the AD being killed frequently in the mid-game.
So, what is the meaning of cats?
Cat is a hero who has no way to "do anything".
For some teams whose supports are prone to sudden death or have shortcomings, this may be an advantage and the best way to make up for the "support gap".
But at least for the T1 team, this will make them lose a rhythm engine!
If you have an advantage, it's not a big problem.
But if it is such a disadvantageous situation, the rhythm defect of lacking an engine will soon be highlighted!
This is also the reason why Tsar was banned——because Tsar has the ability to actively find the rhythm, but Viktor does not.
This means that T1's two most important rhythm points were suppressed by the lineup they chose in this game.
Although Ye Bo is still learning about line transfer operations, he also has his own advantages.
He is very good at learning.
And it can fully bring out the hero's advantages.
“Nunu traded out his Weakness and caught the Steel Shadow on the sideline once again! Zeus wanted to have a 1v1 but couldn’t!”
"The long lines on both the top and bottom lanes now mean huge pressure on T1 to push the lane!"
"T1 organized several attacks on the middle tower in an attempt to force the opponent to shift its focus, but EDG responded very cleverly and didn't fall for it at all. They even frequently exchanged resources on the sidelines."
"Wait, this resource selection and operation method, why do I feel a bit like T1's approach?!"
Wawa agreed with his partner's opinion: "Now it seems that T1 has a feeling of being trapped in their own trap. Although exchanging the second tower on the side lane helped them make up for the economy, it actually led to their mid-term operations being restricted!"
In the 14th minute, T1 made frequent mistakes on the sidelines. Nunu's attack route was difficult to defend against and the economic gap had rolled to five thousand.
But the LCK commentary desk is still optimistic.
They believe that T1's lineup will have an economic advantage after 20 minutes.
Keep dragging it on. As long as we can withstand EDG's strongest mid-term offensive, we can turn the tables!
The third wave of dragon fights approached 15 minutes, and the second wave of Rift Heralds refreshed at the same time, so two waves of key resource fights refreshed together.
This is destined to be the most critical turning point.
T1's deployment was to let Shen go to the upper half and wait for an opportunity to steal the canyon alone. They tried to delay in the lower half and even let the jungler grab the little dragon.
If EDG disperses its players to defend, Shen will directly use TP to join the team to fight the dragon due to the difference in numbers - Shen's TP is 40 seconds faster than that of Aatrox!
This was another key decision made by Li Xianghe. He wanted to use the only opportunity at the moment to carry out a forced resource exchange.
But Nunu pushed the ball downwards again.
The target is directly aimed at Viktor who is pushing the line with the cat in the bottom lane!
"Nunu is here again! Is his target Viktor this time?"
"Because their top laner didn't TP well, EDG probably wanted to reduce the number of players first so that they could control two key map resources at the same time."
"But within ten steps behind this wave, there are big trees protecting him closely. Why does Victor seem to be using himself as bait?"
The Ruined King had also come from above, releasing a vast expanse of scorched earth.
But the big tree hidden in the back immediately cast a powerful vine barrier forward!
"Looking for a jungler!"
Although Nunu has output equipment, he has a stopwatch + Q recovery + a large shield with his ultimate, so it is not easy to kill him with just two people.
In comparison, although the Ruined King has a small Demon-Drinking Blade on his body, he is definitely much easier to kill.
What's more important is that even if you cannot kill the Ruined King, as long as you can make the jungler lose his combat effectiveness, even if it costs the mid and jungle double R, you can still exchange it for at least one epic wild monster resource.
Whether it is the second pioneer or the third dragon.
It can delay T1's peaceful rest for at least five more minutes!
The original 20-minute decisive battle was extended to 25 minutes or even 30 minutes, completely delaying the lineup's power-generating period.
This is Victor using himself as bait!
"Jiejie! Run!" Ye Boton felt something was wrong.
A snowball rolled towards him at high speed, and Victor immediately dodged to the side.
The two T1 players were extremely decisive. The tree had no information about the Ruined King in the vast scorched earth, but directly flashed into the fog with "blind vision" and accurately bound and locked him with W!
Jiejie also reacted quickly, using [Pain Penetrating the Soul] to force an {unselectable} attack.
But the tree's W has a "lock-on follow" mechanism.
Although Maokai is not as good as Sejuani in terms of finding opportunities to start a team fight, in terms of fixed-point ganking ability, this flash W skill is an irresistible stunt!
The Ruined King was tied up as soon as he landed, and then Q was used to knock him back. At the same time, the giant tree barrier behind him spread out to supplement the confinement.
Victor followed the gravity field and used all his arcane magic.
Ye Bo just threw out the snowball, and was about to turn around to rescue, trying to use his ultimate move + Evershine's controlled and charged ultimate move to exchange for a kill. However, he saw the Ruined King's full health bar disappear strangely in an instant!
Ye Bo's eyes flashed, and he could only turn around and evacuate quickly.
"Damn it! This broken Demon-Drinking Blade doesn't seem to be triggered again!" Jie Jie cursed angrily, his tone sounding a little aggrieved.
Not just him.
Ye Bo, the two players from T1 on the opposite side, and the commentators from both sides also noticed this detail.
"It's this BU mechanism of the Hexdrinker again!" Wawa almost let it slip.
"I feel like if the Hexdrinker is triggered, Nunu can come over and fight. The opponent has already used up all his skills and can't interrupt Nunu's ultimate!"
"We might lose Xiaolong!"
[Damn, this is the bug again, it caused my Top Esports team to be ranked 9th! Now it’s trying to trick EDG again, it’s not fair! ]
[As we all know, the only thing that hasn't changed is the mechanism. It's been so many years, and there are still bugs? ]
[Top Esports fans are really anxious. NBA referees only tell you about misjudgments after the fact. Do you really expect a rematch to see two stars in the top 16? ]
[Anyway, the official is really cowardly. Both teams in their region were trapped by this BUG and they didn't appeal. If they lose this game because of this, it will definitely be considered an off-field kill! ]
[The mechanism is the mechanism, it is not something that has only appeared today! ]
[That’s right, isn’t this a great operation by Wo Ke? What does it have to do with whether it’s a bug or not? ]
Speaking of which, this was an episode on the first day of the second round of the group stage.
After Topbo Brother became the "Vietnamese fermented bean curd", Topbo fans found it hard to accept and watched the video again and again, trying to find the culprit.
Of course, they all ended up doing it.
However, there are actually some sharp-eyed fans who found a point that can be used to explain it - in the last wave of house destruction, Karthus's ultimate killed Lucian instantly, while Lucian's Hexdrinker did not seem to be triggered.
It seems that a BUG has been triggered!
So some Topsports fans thought that it was all the fault of the Demon Drinker!
Of course, later on, anyone with a discerning eye would realize that triggering the Hexdrinker's Blade wouldn't have changed the outcome at all.
Because GAM's resurrected mid laner Sett has already taken Lucian away. Even if Lucian is not killed by Deathsong, he will not be able to attack the base and will be killed by Sett with two punches.
But until today, the official has not made any explanation as to whether that wave was a BUG or not.
Unfortunately, the Hexdrinker is almost the only "output-type magic resistance equipment" available in this version, and it has just been strengthened and can be said to be the OP equipment of this version.
The price is cheap and the attributes are explosive. Even without the shield, the cost performance is still very high.
So even though everyone knows that as long as there are more APs, it is really necessary to release it.
Li Xianghe really felt that the damage he just dealt was not right. Even with the cat's blessing, he should not be able to kill a Ruined King with a Hexdrinker instantly at full health.
But this wave is undoubtedly T1's opportunity.
"Come and get this dragon!"
Although the mid and jungle players no longer have double skills and ultimate skills, the opponent is still one person short, and a jungler at that.
There is no reason not to accept this little dragon.
As long as they can block the rhythm of the little dragon, it will take EDG at least 25 minutes to force the Dragon Soul group, and 30 minutes to force the Ancient Dragon group.
The situation was already on the verge of collapse.
It seemed that after Victor used himself as bait, the fog suddenly cleared.
"Are we going to the canyon?" Meiko asked out loud.
".I think I can give it a try," Ye Bo responded, "At least I can try to grab it."
"Then come!"
There were not many people, but BB set off together.
Ye Bo's confidence is not groundless.
Even if Maokai uses all his skills, he actually doesn't have much combat power as long as his W fails to tie up the key C position.
As for Victor, even without his ultimate move, his combat effectiveness is still very strong in this kind of positional battle.
But this time, neither of them had flash.
As long as you can get it, there is still a good chance of killing it.
What's more, he is Nunu, whose Q skill is at the maximum level and has a full 1200 points of true damage to wild monsters!
The punishment for completing the evolution is only 900 points of true damage.
And there is no Baron in this wave, so even if I fail to snatch it, the worst consequence is acceptable.
When releasing the cat system, the most important thing is to speed up the pace and try not to let the game go beyond 30 minutes.
Then this dragon waiting card is crucial.
Once the cat's power is fully released, it will fully demonstrate what the OP hero of this version is, and that will be the beginning of a real comeback.
Since there are risks.
Ye Bo believes that trying this wave is the time with the least risk.
"EDG doesn't seem ready to back down! Do they want to fight 4 vs 5!?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe he just wanted to cover Nunu while he tried to grab it. After all, Maokai didn't have his ultimate anymore, so it was hard to keep anyone."
"Nunu swapped out a Purification, huh? Not going to swap out a Smite?"
After 15 minutes, the little dragon respawns.
When T1 saw Nunu change {Flash} to {Purify}, they guessed that the opponent wanted to attack.
However, because they were worried that the resurrected Ruined King would arrive, they couldn't maintain the stalemate for too long and had to kill the dragon immediately.
"Pull them out to fight, be careful of Renata's ultimate move, and also watch out for the snowman!" Li Xianghe marked the signals in an orderly manner.
"I can keep an eye on him!" Zesu volunteered.
But Nunu has not appeared on the screen yet.
The dragon's health dropped rapidly.
The EDG players were not worried about the opponent forcing an attack. After all, they had Renata's ultimate to counterattack, and if Shen dared to attack alone, it would be easy for him to be out of touch.
At this time, Nunu had quietly pushed a snowball from the outer wall below the dragon pit.
"Seal the ultimate move!"
Renata understood and sprayed out alchemical poison mist forward.
The T1 team was fully disciplined and quickly and neatly pulled back. But at this moment, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared in the field of vision outside the red BUFF grass above the dragon pit.
"Snowman snowman snowman! The snowman is coming!"
The figure pushing the snowball was extremely fast, and he pressed {Purification} out of thin air to gain the acceleration of {Aura Cloak}, and the speed of the small nitrogen spray soared again!
The only weird thing is Nunu's position.
Is this a preparation for pushing the ball around a big bend?
You know, the outer wall of Xiaolongkeng has a large corner of more than 180°.
Can the snowball get around like this?
But Zeus didn't think too much about it. Without any hesitation, he hooked the wall from a long distance and prepared to intercept!
But, just at the moment when the hook was kicked out.
The figure pushing the snowball emitted a strange golden light—and unexpectedly, "flashed" down from the wall!
more specifically.
Yes, pushing a huge snowball and flashing down.
The figure of Qing Gangying missed the three people and the cat behind him, so they suffered a great disaster!
They saw Nunu and were still wondering how the other party would get around the wall.
No one would have thought that Nunu could come down like this!
There was no time to react at all. The huge snowball was like an ice nuclear warhead, hitting the three people head-on and knocking them away!
Take out the Eternal Frost Confinement on the spot.
[Absolute Zero] Guides the terrifying blizzard to condense!
What's even more terrifying is that the alchemical poisonous fog behind has spread
"What is this! It's over! It exploded!" The Roaring Emperor screamed in disbelief.
"Ahhhhhh! BUG!" Wolf next door screamed like a groundhog.
It's not like he just realized that the Hexdrinker didn't trigger and was playing dead and saying nothing.
Before he could finish his words, the game suddenly turned gray and paused.
"Pause! Pause! This is a BUG!"
“Nunu can’t use flash with his W! It’s a bug if he uses it!”
Five screams were heard within the T1 team immediately.
The one who called the pause was [T1-Keria], because he was the most idle cat.
The referee didn't even need to ask the reason and walked directly towards EDG to ask.
Because the operation of "Nunu Push the Ball and Flash" actually appeared as early as 2019.
At that time, it was indeed possible to use it because of a bug in {Hex Flash}.
But Hexflash was not developed for Nunu at the time. It was originally developed for Sion's ultimate "crazy 365-degree turn", Ice Wing's E Hexflash, and even Ornn's W through the wall.
However, it was Nunu who left the deepest impression on people.
The Hexflash bug had been fixed as early as 2019, so it was obvious that Ye Bo couldn't use it even if he wanted to.
So the referee who came to inquire even had a curious tone.
"how did you do it?"
Ye Bo openly used the special software of the competition computer to reproduce the operation.
In fact, this is something he just discovered.
The story begins with the first wave of people using sprint to chase after Shen.
When he pressed the sprint button switched out by using the "Unsealed Secret Book", he suddenly became aware that his originally gray flash had lit up!
When he changed his skills for the second time, he paid special attention and found that it was indeed the case.
That's why he thought of this operation.
"I guess it's probably because the skill was changed by the Unsealed Secret Book and changed back to Flash after use. It's equivalent to changing to a 'new skill' in terms of mechanism, so it was unlocked for use. After all, during the W guidance process, you can use all summoner skills except the original Flash."
Ye Bo talked to the referee and expressed his understanding and speculation.
He actually didn't think too much about it just now, he just felt that this was an operation that was in line with the principles of the mechanism.
I didn't expect it to pause.
The referee read the principle carefully.
He was obviously stunned and fell into deep thought.
It is really difficult to judge whether it is a bug or a mechanism.
Is the "Snake Girl's Reverse R Flash", which was explicitly marked as a bug fix by Riot, considered a bug?
Is Jayce's E "Knock Back to Original Position", which may be fixed in the future, considered a BUG?
If Lee Sin uses Q to touch the ward, W and then Q, he can use all other skills in the air during Q2. Is this a bug?
These are techniques that have been widely used by many professional players. Could it be that whether it is a BUG depends on how many people use it and who uses it?
and so.
The referee of the competition usually has only one judgment on BUG——
"As long as it is not explicitly stated in the skill description, then it is OK."
This is what the alliance means by “anything is allowed unless prohibited by law.”
According to this standard.
Obviously, there is no description like "Flash cannot be used during the guidance period" in the skill text of Nunu's W.
The resident referee quickly figured out the interests involved.
The main thing is that even the Hexdrinker, which is obviously a bug, has no restrictions.
Now there is really no way to determine whether this is a BUG operation, and making temporary restrictions is obviously an unfair decision.
This is New York, not South Korea. How can we add rules on the spot?
Even if it really needs to be changed, it will have to be after this game.
Soon, the final result was conveyed to all major commentary desks.
The Roaring Emperor looked a little shocked, but he quickly adjusted his emotions with professionalism.
"Let me first inform everyone of the situation. According to the on-site referee's judgment, it has been confirmed that there were no problems with the game and no game loopholes."
"In that case, we may be witnessing a completely new operating technique!"
Before the Roaring Emperor finished speaking, the countdown to his return had already begun.
Before Wolf could recover from his shock, he saw the five T1 players being knocked to the ground by the snowball, then being imprisoned by the eternal frost, and then being hit by the poison mist.
Absolute zero is filled with wind and snow.
The world was destroyed in an instant, and the triple kill echoed throughout the canyon!
Wolf opened his mouth wide with shock written all over his face: "Pizza! This is totally pizza!"
"What on earth does Ye want to do? Is he going to destroy T1? "
The direction of the wave of comments on the barrage suddenly changed.
The two groups of people just now exchanged expressions almost instantly.
[Just wanted to ask where are you going E oh damn, nice brother, awesome! ]
[It’s not fair! This is not fair! Rematch! Rematch!]
[Okay, okay, another rematch, huh? Are you addicted to MSI rematches? ]
[This is our T1 legendary rematch team. If we can’t win, we can rematch. We can rematch even if there is a 35% delay. We can also rematch even if there are operations you don’t know about. We can just rematch and become the nine-time champion! ]
[Shit! I strongly suggest Riot add a rule that all strange operations must be reported in advance, otherwise they will be considered cheats and will be directly judged as losses! ]
[I agree. I also suggest adding a rule that if you switch screens more than 10 times, you will be deducted 300 gold coins. If you don’t use skins in a match, you will be directly judged as a loser! This will affect Riot’s skin sales! ]
[If we want to rewind, shouldn't we rewind from the time when the Ruined King died? Classic: It's harmless to be unfair to yourself, but you must fight for every inch of unfairness against your enemies! ]
After hearing the report, everyone in T1 on the other side calmed down.
Of course they knew that there couldn't be any unexpected factors in a match on such occasions, and they would just check it out casually afterwards, so there was no way it could be fake.
In other words.
That is indeed a "trick" that can be reproduced.
This brings up a very scary fact.
This means that the next wave of opponents will come!
What's more, after this wave of fighting, the balance of the game has actually completely tilted to the bottom.
EDG got a quad kill and then successfully took down the second vanguard.
Rush directly to the exposed upper lane high ground and break the crystal in one fell swoop!
Breaking through the high ground means that someone will be forced to stay in the upper area and will have to deal with super soldiers all the time.
The already stretched lineup operation was completely out of balance.
T1 had no choice but to adopt a defensive strategy, and the economic gap became wider and wider.
20 minutes 30 seconds.
EDG took the water dragon soul on time and turned to attack the big dragon.
The five members of T1 simply cleared the high ground troops and then gathered together to prepare for a strong resistance.
But, when we walked into the river, we saw Nunu coming with another snowball.
The five people's hair stood on end instantly!
However, they don't know how to trigger the operation. In fact, this wave of Nunu did not use the unsealed cheats.
"Stand apart, stand apart!" Li Xianghe ignored it and instructed Dashu to stop him: "Stop him, catch him and kill him!"
So what if you can flash W? Just interrupt the snowball.
Oner decisively flashed diagonally and used W to hug Nunu.
But Nunu used "Flash W" again.
But this time, it’s not the “flash W pushing the snowball”——but the snowball is first released, and then a “reverse flash” behind the back!
"Abandon the ball W flash"!
The big snowball rolled forward, and with full deterrence it forced back the enemy forces that were coming to support from the rear.
But the twisted tree spirit was followed closely by Flash and brought back into the crowd!
You're the only one who would use yourself as bait, right?
"Nunu's fishing expedition! He brought the tree back, and the tree was killed in seconds!"
"EDG is going to go straight to Baron, that's not right!?"
"What are you doing, Nunu!"
The cat's W at full level can give both mounts 21% of their magic power.
With the support of Luden's magic cat, Viktor's damage after developing to this point is actually not to be underestimated.
Viktor's most powerful terrain is the positional battle in the big and small dragon pits.
Faker accelerated and rushed forward with Cat's ultimate, shooting ER lasers at the dragon pit. At the same time, he set up a gravity field at the entrance to block the road, trapping five enemies in the dragon pit!
But at this moment, three golden lights suddenly flashed out from inside the EDG dragon pit!
The three flashed out of the dragon pit, and Skateboards grabbed the Poké Ball and rushed forward!
Li Xianghe was not surprised but happy.
"They are in a hurry, retreat, retreat, and pull them apart first!"
Viktor single-handedly defeated the opponent's three flashes and two ultimates, and also prevented the opponent from attacking the dragon, and also gained an advantage in health.
As long as the opponent does not dare to continue attacking the big dragon in this wave, the chance of the jungler being killed instantly can be compensated, and there will be another opportunity in the next wave.
The four fled towards their own blue zone.
But Li Xianghe suddenly noticed something.
One person is missing.
Then, when the T1 players stepped into the entrance of their own jungle area, everyone suddenly felt as if the soles of their feet were covered with frost, making it difficult to move.
There are no changes to the field of view or special effects.
But everyone knows what this is.
"Axiba!"
“Nu! Nu! Nu!”
After entering the dragon pit, Nunu did not attack the dragon, but instead used the advantage of the line of troops on the top lane high ground to bury the wards and quietly TP to the rear.
Nunu's troops walked into the jungle, and then used Hexflash to charge through the wall.
Dive into the bushes at the entrance.
This place can just completely cover the entrance to the wild area.
Moreover, when the T1 people just came over, they had already scanned the area and were not prepared at all.
of course.
The most important thing is that they never expected that there would be a Nunu who would perform a completely unexpected TP flanking in such a situation.
As for the three opponents who flashed out from the dragon pit, they naturally only wanted to drive the prey into the extremely icy hell.
The terrifying absolute zero at full charge seemed to freeze all life within range.
The sky was filled with snowflakes mixed with blood.
Except cats, one step slower to death.
The five members of T1 soon met again at the fountain.
The five EDG players went straight up from the high ground that had been broken in the top lane, and smashed the main crystal of T1's base into pieces!
A giant Victory word appears behind the red team's player seat.
In an instant, the whole audience was boiling!
