Chapter 249: The Sword Master of Ten Thousand Flowers! It turns out that he is the Xiu Maker!

"We were saying before that if we could see Neeko at this MSI, it would be in Master Ye's hands!"

Guan Zeyuan was still analyzing: "But to be honest, the early stats of the new version of Neeko are really too low. It feels like she is on the same level as the Tsar."

"Fortunately, Galio should still be easy to beat."

“But I don’t quite understand the designer’s idea. He just added a functional change, but directly reduced the early damage of the four skills of QWER. The problem is that this hero doesn’t seem to be a late-game magic core.”

Although his appearance rate in Ranked matches is quite high thanks to the "fun" added after the rework, other teams have unanimously decided that this hero is not good enough.

Of course, it may also be because the MSI version was released too rushed.

The reason for this conclusion is that compared to the old version of Neeko, the new version of Neeko seems to have changed from the previous "early burst" hero to a "mid-to-late team battle" hero.

That is to say, part of the basic value of early skills is moved to the later AP bonus.

The problem is that even if there is damage in the later stages, it is still very difficult to hit Neeko's most important ultimate skill - even with the newly added {When casting ultimate skills while in disguise, the action will not be displayed for the first 0.5 seconds of guidance}!
In addition, if the lineup really needs a late-stage hero, why not play the more stable Tsar Clockwork?
In short, it is positioned in the middle unit which is awkward no matter how you look at it.

All members of T1 were obviously a little worried about the heroes that were not included in this plan.

Li Xianghe knew that since the opponent would use this hero, it meant that he thought this hero had the ability to appear. That generally meant that it was really possible.

Then it is more likely that there are strong points that they have not discovered.

“But in this game, V5 didn’t attack in the first-level group fight, and didn’t even go to exchange jungle areas?” I remember looking at the very different first-level arrangements of both sides in confusion.

"Logically speaking, with one early-game lineup and one late-game lineup, it would be easy for V5 to find opportunities at level ."

All T1 members were obviously nervous at the beginning. They threw two visions at the entrance of the jungle as soon as they went out, ready for the opponent's level one attack.

But what's strange is that from a bird's eye view, V5 didn't have any intention of attacking. Even the upper and lower lanes had retreated to the grass in front of the line of soldiers, preparing to fight.

And there is a reason why V5 ​​is like this.

Invading and changing the jungle area at level one can certainly drive away the nightmare and force a change of jungle area.

But in that case, V5's jungle route is almost completely clear, and both sides have equal information, but only occupy one half of the offensive rights.

But in the early stage, the normal situation for the hero Nightmare is to clear the jungle with his head down. There is no loss at all if he and Xin Zhao expose information to each other. At worst, they can just clear the jungle together.

Zhao Xin is different. He must find a way to do things in the early stage.

However, Oner saw that the opponent did not come to exchange the jungle area, and he immediately had an idea: "Youqi, can you sell it for a while at level 1? I can come directly at level 2!"

"I feel like it's okay." Zeus, who was on the line, had just had his shot stolen by Jayce who was hiding in the lane grass, and thought that there was indeed some chance.

No one would think that Nightmare would gank in the early game, especially at level 2.

But T1 was able to choose this lineup, which naturally showed that they had practiced it specially.

Although the top laner Fan Zi Ma looks like a "slacker hero", she is definitely a good player in laning!
The significance of this hero, in addition to the most obvious four-protecting-one-core system, also has the additional function of taking the line control in the early stage, protecting the jungle area, and even countering invasion.

And Karma is definitely a hero that is "easy to defend and difficult to attack". QWE slows down + accelerates + imprisons, which is very useful when combined with ganks, and she herself is not easily caught.

The line of soldiers is born.

The commentary desk began to pay attention to the middle lane.

"Master Ye used the classic long-range attack on Galio in this match, and he went straight out with Doran's Blade!"

"It's a pity that there is no hero similar to the policewoman in this game. The other two long-range heroes on V5's side have very short ranges, and Neeko has the longest range~"

Lee Sang Hyuk wasn't too surprised to see Nicole's going-out outfit.

He actually guessed that the other party might go out and buy AD equipment.

But considering that the opponent might invade at level 1 to get information and look at Galio's runes, it might backfire, so I didn't carry armor fragments.

Anyway, I am Galio, so the pressure in the early stage is not too great.

The lines of troops clash.

Galio naturally retreated after throwing out the gust of wind, worried that Neeko would use her Q skill and didn't want to give the opponent a chance for "extra bloom".

But Neeko didn't think about suppressing Galio, she just clicked W and then quickly pushed the line with a basic attack.

It's true, because it's difficult for the Q skill [Blooming Flower] to cause "multiple damage" in the early stage, if Neeko goes out with Doran's Blade and then clicks W at level 1, her pushing speed will be even faster.

1 minutes 50 seconds.

Nightmare, who was alone on the blue buff, deliberately did not use punishment to clear the jungle, wanting to wait for more soldiers in the top lane to come over, and wait for both sides' top laners to reach level 2 to have a better chance.

"Nightmare went straight up after hitting the blue buff! Oner seems to want to change it!?"

"Saint Spear's Jayce played very well at level 1, gaining a lot of health advantage. However, there is usually no reason for a top laner to go and place wards at level 2, otherwise there will inevitably be a vision vacuum period in the level 3 or 4 river!"

“Why does it feel like we might be defeated in this wave?”

"Hey? What's that noise?"

Just as the LPL commentary desk was nervously watching the nightmare walking out of the blue buff camp and heading towards the upper lane.

Suddenly, a whistle-like sound came from far away in the live broadcast screen.

If you listen carefully, it seems to be a somewhat clumsy ventriloquist sound.
"Who's calling?" Rita asked with a puzzled look on her face.

“Oh, it’s Master Ye!” The sharp-eyed person remembered to catch a glimpse of a figure walking into the jungle on the right: “Neeko!?”

The director followed suit and slightly shifted the camera angle to the lower right.

I saw "Neeko" "flying" in from the front of the middle lane tower with her tail spinning like a helicopter propeller.

Of course, Li Xianghe, who was pushed out, also saw Neeko using W towards her own jungle area, and heard a strange whooshing sound in his ears.

He didn't suspect anything at first, thinking that the opponent was just exploring the surrounding vision after pushing the line.

But then, he suddenly remembered something: "Neeko's fake body might be able to see your route in the jungle?"

Oner was a little confused: "What do you mean, Brother Xianghe, what do you mean by seeing my route?"

At this time, Neeko, transformed into the Powerpuff Girls, had flown all the way to the gate of the blue BUFF camp, revealing the empty jungle camp and the surviving Frog next to it.

"How did he just hit a blue one? Brother Saint Spear, be careful!"

Jace, who also saw the detection information, quickly retreated.

Nightmare had already walked to the bottom of the river, and suddenly saw Jayce, who was pressing forward, start to retreat.

He still wanted to come out and force some status, but this wave was originally pushed forward because Jayce wanted to grab the second level, and both teams' top laners were still one soldier short of leveling up to level two.

Without W, Fan Zi Ma can’t help to keep him.

"Wow!! Oner is so injured!" The Roaring Emperor felt like fainting from the God's perspective: "Obviously, there should be a good chance in this wave!"

"How could Neeko do this? This..."

"Then we're going to lose again at the beginning of the game in the wild area!"

Oner's variation of the attack in the top lane was fruitless.

Moreover, without the information about Zhao Xin starting in the jungle, and with no soldiers in the top and middle lanes, he definitely wouldn't dare to go to the opponent's red zone. Otherwise, once Zhao Xin started in the red zone, or if he was seen appearing and immediately walked to the upper zone, it would be tantamount to seeking death!

Oner pondered the issue in his mind for a while, and then decided to return to the blue zone in shame.

But the more emotional scene is
Nightmare had just walked back to the blue zone to fight the Frog, when he turned around and saw with his own eyes a "Neeko" spinning its tail and flying towards him while muttering "whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh"!

It almost gave him a fright!
Fortunately, the next moment, Nicole disappeared.

But after witnessing it with my own eyes, a horrifying fact seemed to be revealed.

In fact.

In this rework, there is one thing that most people will overlook——the rework of the animation voice of Ctrl1-Ctrl4.

The timing of each hero's {taunt} {dance} and other actions is different.

The newly added Ctrl1 by Neeko, which is the "whoosh whoosh" helicopter action, can last up to a full 11.5 seconds.

Longer than most heroes!
This is nothing for other heroes, but those who are familiar with Neeko's "extension mechanism" will understand the meaning!

W [Double Flower Shadow] has a 16-second CD at level one, but the countdown starts as soon as the spell is cast.

In other words, through the technique of extreme delay, this skill can achieve a vacuum period of less than 4 seconds.

W is still a {no consumption} skill!
This resulted in a seamless connection between the jungle and the river, with "Neeko" almost "always" wandering around!
It is equivalent to Oner, whose jungle information has always been semi-transparent, being made extremely miserable!

Just like when he saw Nightmare re-entering his upper zone, Xin Zhao immediately went to counter-attack the opponent's lower zone——and Oner still wanted to go to the opponent's red zone, but ended up running into a flying Neeko in the river!

The veins on Oner's forehead were bulging.

No matter what happened in his jungle in the first two games, at least his mentality was not affected too much, so it didn’t matter.

But this.
Especially the "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound that came from his ears from time to time always made him inexplicably angry!

Of course, it's not just him.

All the viewers in the live broadcast rooms around the world were also listening to the "whoosh whoosh" throughout the whole process.
[Pure mental attack! I feel dizzy just hearing this. Is this the return of the bastard clan?]

[To be honest, my mind is full of soooooooo soooooo, it’s a bit too funny 23333333]

[TMD, this is like Sun Ce watching Jie Yuji's Guhuoduo from the first-person perspective, "Do you believe it~ Do you believe it~" How can I awaken multiple grudges on me! ] [Wow? A balloon zombie in the wild area! ]

[This thing is definitely another big birth-level easter egg after Nasus's high-kick, Noxus's axe swing, Xerath's head scratching, Minotaur's bell ringing, and Sett's sit-ups! ]

[I just watched this in Zizi’s livestream. I thought it was that idiot Erzi who was making a scene, so I cursed him and came here.]

[Oh my god! It turns out he is the real "Shuu Maker"! ]

Li Xianghe knew that it was wrong to continue like this.

If Nightmare's jungle area continues to be invaded and counter-jungled like this, let alone the dragon group, it is estimated that even the canyon group may not be able to reach level 6!

If Nightmare is not at level 5, the 5v team will be a pure super soldier.

Fortunately, although T1 and Lee Sang-hyuk, like everyone else, did not take Neeko seriously and did not practice with her, he did a lot of research on Ye Bo.

Especially his game videos.

This is also why he could vaguely guess the first wave, because he had watched many videos of Ye Bo.

Neeko's "directional detection" technique needs to target {continuously visible enemy units}, which are her own upper and lower towers. If she wants her clone to enter the jungle area, she must turn in from the path in front of the middle tower.

Therefore, Galio can seize the lane and make it difficult for the opponent to release clones along the way.

Alternatively, you can be more proactive in exchanging blood during the laning phase, forcing Neeko to use her W on the laning phase, which can also prevent the opponent from having time to explore the jungle.

The latter is quite simple to implement.

In fact, as long as Galio uses E to rush forward, Neeko can be easily tricked into using W.

It’s just obvious that the situation in the middle lane took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant - Galio started with E, and if he failed to keep Neeko, he would definitely be counterattacked badly!

Originally, Li Xianghe was still planning to slowly level up, but now, in order to protect the jungle area, he is forced to exchange blood for lanes.

"Sang Hyuk was forced to TP in less than 5 minutes." Bang's eyes were filled with worry, and his tone was obviously somewhat disapproving: "This is basically using the middle lane to protect the jungle!"

"Come to think of it, didn't Brother Xingxiong teach Oner his unique skills? This is not right." Wolf and his old partner obviously thought the same thing.

The Roaring Emperor didn't take up T1's family affairs, and focused on the situation of the game: "But even if we defend like this, Nightmare still has no combat power at this point, and the level is still behind, so he will definitely not be able to take the little dragon."

"But this Bonnieko didn't return to the city!? That might be because she's short of money!"

"Is it possible that Oner could sense the opportunity to catch a wave!"

The information grasped from a God's perspective is more thorough.

After helping the team kill the little dragon, Neeko did not choose to return to the city, but returned to the middle lane again. It was obvious that she was short of money to buy equipment.

From Ye Bo’s perspective.

Although he lost some health due to the blood exchange with Galio, he has all his skills and has already reached level 6 in this wave, so he is not very afraid of being caught.

But from T1's perspective, this is a rare opportunity!

"Because T1 gave up on the little dragon, both teams' bottom lanes didn't come out. If two people were to fight the dragon, Zhao Xin would definitely have to go home!"

"Oner seems to have thought of this too! He's already heading towards the middle!"

"As long as we can free up the middle lane, the jungle won't be so uncomfortable. After all, the rhythm ability of the T1 mid and jungle double sixes cannot be compared with the opponent's mid and jungle at all!"

Oner was actually planning to go counter-jungle to replenish some economy.

But when Li Xianghe saw that the opponent did not return to the city, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

Even if the kill was not successful in this wave, it was just to use the opponent's flash and teleport double skills——without the double skills, Neeko would not dare to be so arrogant in the laning phase!

As the commentator said.

T1 also believes that as long as their mid and jungle can safely reach level , they will be stronger than the opponent's mid and jungle combination, whether they are looking for opportunities first or providing support later!

“I’m here, Sang Hyuk-hyuk!”

Oner seemed to be gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to fight to the death with this Neeko.

Lee Sang Hyuk started to show his acting skills and used the same trick again, directly using E to try to trick out W!

But Ye Bo did not take action this time.

Of course, he also knew that he was relatively vulnerable without any additional equipment, so he used his skills very tightly and even controlled the distance more carefully than before.

But the nightmare has already walked out from behind!
Although Galio's E failed to hit the target, he had already rushed close to the face————then he flashed close and spread his wings to charge W!

Here we can see Lee Sang-hyuk's understanding and grasp of Galio.

It looks like Galio's direct W charge is about within range.

But in that case, Neeko might be able to run away even if she turns around and uses W+E. At the very least, she can just use flash to get away without any damage. At most, she can just switch to flash.

At this time, Galio directly flashes to start with face to face, which can ensure that even if Neeko uses flash immediately or creates a W clone, she cannot escape the charging range of the Wings taunt!

"Save your skills for a moment!"

"Know!"

Oner's operating ideas are still very solid and no reminders are needed.

Nightmare was only level 4 at this time, while Neeko had already reached level 6. Even if she didn't return to the city to replenish her equipment, she would still be in some danger.

But Nightmare also has his own support.

As long as Oner kills his W [Dark Shelter] and uses the magic shield to block Neeko's R skill with an extremely obvious pre-swing, the opponent will not be able to kill him no matter what!

When Konico saw the charged Galio in front of her, her first reaction was not to use Flash.

He first turned around and threw E [Tangled Barbs] at Nightmare, but Nightmare immediately and decisively dodged and got close to him!
Oner has a clear mind and knows that he must save his W for his ultimate!

Neeko seemed to be at a loss as she didn't use her flash, as if she wanted to save her skills. She just used her W to move forward.
But Galio's wings were already spread wide, and he was sucking hard at the same time!
The "invisible" body was sucked out instantly!
Use Nightmare QE all at once, lock on and chase with Nightmare Path, and just wait for the fear of E to be triggered. This wave has a very good chance of killing!

but.
After a short stay, the low-health Neeko suddenly "disappeared out of thin air" on the spot.

"Where are the people!?"

Did not appear under the tower, did not appear in sight.

No one knows where Neeko went.

According to the mechanism of the "old version of Neeko", the clone will disappear instantly if it is controlled by force, so the two of them immediately determined that what they sucked in was the real one.
Could it be that he flashed into the grass in the river when he was invisible just now?

The two were confused.

Nightmare's health seemed to be dropping rapidly due to the concentrated fire of the troops.
"Help me push the line together, and you should level up faster."

Although Li Xianghe himself lacks experience and has not yet reached level 6, he is more aware of the importance of jungle level.

Can be followed immediately.

Both of them seemed to notice something strange.

"Wait, that's not right. It doesn't seem right!"

"Hey, why is my blood dropping so fast???"

"Shit, this little soldier!!"

The blooming [Blooming] guides the aura to bloom and appear.
It is centered around a {melee soldier}!
Fortunately, Oner had been holding W and didn't use it randomly, and immediately pressed out the magic shield!

{But Neeko can use skills during the lead-up time of her ultimate.}
Ye Bo threw out Q [Blooming Flower Seeds] at the precise moment before R landed on the ground - the two were competing in "Timing".

And it is obvious that Ye Bo has a slight advantage.

The dark shelter was broken first, and the Blooming Garden immediately knocked the two people away, and then sat down suddenly!

At the same time, the second and third stages of the blooming flower explode repeatedly, and through the confinement combination effect of "RQ", all of them hit Nightmare!
Before "revealing his true form", Nightmare was already less than half health left.

If you eat all of this, you will die on the spot!

"Frog fun!!!" I remember raising my hands high in excitement.

"He used W to turn invisible to disguise his transformation, cast a fake body to confuse others, and then transformed himself into a soldier. He avoided Galio's fatal taunt!"

"My old swan! This is how Master Ye understands it! I knew his choice must have a reason!"

Galio's W skill text clearly states: "Taunts nearby "enemy heroes"."

Although Neeko did not go home to replenish her equipment, her main attribute was {Attack Power}, but by changing into a "Melee Soldier", she instantly absorbed the melee soldier's attack speed of up to 1.25.

Although the new version of Neeko has deleted the "extra movement speed" that Ye Bo had previously used, and can only inherit the "basic movement speed" of the imitated unit, it has also added a new setting for inheriting "attack speed".

{Attack Speed} is more than doubled compared to the main body, but it has its own attack power attribute!
At the same time, it can also add three rings of damage from W passive!
It's like he's the incarnation of [Sword Saint of Ten Thousand Flowers]!
That's why Nightmare mistakenly thought that he was being "concentrated fire" by the soldiers!

"It's such a pity that Nightmare died in this wave! He could have taken back some jungle areas while Xin Zhao was going home, but now he has to go home with him!"

"And Master Ye is actually in pretty good shape. After all, the opponent didn't really hit him at all! There's absolutely no risk of him being killed, and he doesn't even need to use Flash!"

"Ok??"

"Master Ye, what else is this going to do!?"

(End of this chapter)
