What is a hexagon jungler?

Chapter 687 687: The sword goes awry under heavy pressure!

"How dare you choose!" The doll couldn't help but exclaimed, "This version wants to move Lucian to the solo lane. It is really... courageous."

This evaluation was also agreed by Miller, "I think so. Lu Xian's strength in solo lane is really average now, right?"

Before the S7 global finals, Lucian had been wreaking havoc in the middle lane for more than half a year.

Later, the fist slashed down, greatly increasing the cooldown time of Lucian's core skill E, sliding, which greatly reduced Lu Xian's mobility and blood exchange ability.

As for Lu Xian in the solo line, he relies on his strong duel ability. He often has to close the distance to the forward E and initiate exchange invitations. This knife can be said to be a cut on the main artery!

Subsequently, the elementary school student who did not believe in evil continued to choose Lu Xian three times, and everyone knew the outcome.

Since then, Lucian has disappeared in the solo line.

It wasn't until the 11th version that the basic armor of the shooter was reduced, allowing the early strong shooter to have higher damage, and Lucian returned to the game.

But that is relatively strong compared to other ADCs.

If Lu Xian is allowed to play solo, the problem of the E skill's early CD being too long will still exist!

Not only the commentators, but also the netizens in the LPL live broadcast room didn't quite approve of KT's swinging Lucian.

[It’s really awesome. What era are you in? Why are you here playing solo Lucian? 】

[Hahaha, dude, I just want to shake it. As long as it’s not an LPL team, I don’t care... KT, keep shaking it, we’ll win the game first]

[I finally figured it out, KT is just a slugger, Han Kingdom doesn’t create myths, right?]

[Shaking for the sake of shaking, alas, KT is still a little inferior in the realm of shaking]

From the audience to the commentators, everyone agreed that KT letting Lucian play swing was a typical sign of illness.

But in the VG player booth, everyone frowned in unison.

"KT wants to use Lucian to seize lane rights?" Gu Xing guessed, "This is not good news for us."

Hongmi paced behind the team members, looking equally worried.

He never imagined that one day he would capsize in the gutter!

Originally, Redmi limited the swing heroes that KT could choose at the BP level in order to allow the top two heroes to have good development space during the laning period - after all, both sword demons and vampires need to develop, and they have to wait until two pieces. Only by using sets can the power be exerted.

Don't look at KT taking out a sword girl, which seems to be able to restrain Aatrox, but VG and vampires can achieve double swing, and KT can't keep up!

For example, at the end of the opponent's counter, Counter wanted to choose Kassadin to restrain the vampire, but VG directly moved the vampire to the top lane. What should the enemy do?

Isn’t choosing Kassadin the top laner in this version to be courting death?

Besides, if you want to shake it up, Kiin must be able to play Kassadin!

In this way, Redmi can ensure that at least one of the two single lanes in the upper and middle lanes can control the lane and develop steadily, and can take over the game when the equipment is formed in the mid-term.

However, the swing strategy carefully formulated before the game was perfectly broken by KT using a single move of Lucian!

Although Lucian's solo lane was considered a tactic in the early days, it is not considered strong now.

But I couldn't bear to be able to perfectly restrain VG's mid-to-upper double swing!

How are vampires going to fight Lucian?

Isn’t this pure masochism?

"How should we play?" Smeb turned back to ask the coach, "How about you let me play vampire?"

He knew that whoever played vampire against Lucian would definitely go to jail and would never be able to turn around.

Although Sword Demon and Sword Girl will be suppressed, they can still expect jungler Gu Xing to come to Gank to help, which may turn the tide of the battle.

As for the vampire's Lucian line, even waiting for the jungler to come is useless!

Putting aside the fact that Vladimir himself does not have any control skills, it is difficult to retain people to cooperate with the jungler.

Let's just say that Gu Xingzhen came to help and successfully dragged Lucian back, so how to kill him?

You know, Gu Xing is playing with wine barrels!

The combination of Vampire + Beer Man, when the cooldown reduction attributes have not been superimposed in the early stage of the game, can basically only produce a set of bursts of skills, lacking sustained output.

Lucian only needs to make a demon-drinking knife, and he doesn't know how he will die in this round against a double AP combination!

It is conceivable that the person who manages the vampire must resist the pressure from beginning to end!

Song Jinghao was well aware of the seriousness of the situation.

But he didn't shrink from it.

Because Smeb knows very well that as the eldest brother of the team - due to his age, he must take responsibility.

You can't let Chaowei, who is debuting on the competition stage for the first time, use a vampire to resist the pressure, right?

If a newbie has a mental problem, who will be responsible?

Song Jinghao therefore had no choice but to use vampires to fight Lucian.

Chaowei straightened the corners of his mouth when he heard that the eldest brother in the team took the initiative to ask for help.

The palm of the hand that originally held the mouse became sweaty and slippery due to tension, making Chovy feel extremely irritable.

After assessing the situation, Hongmi made a decision, "...Okay, let's just play vampire Maiboqi. It's good to resist stress."

He considers not only the player's own mentality, but more importantly the battlefield situation.

Vampire, the ultimate pressure-resistant path, is best placed on the side lane. Moving the Sword Demon, who has more hope of help, to the middle lane will be more beneficial to the battle situation.

Ten players from both sides began to exchange heroes.

There are also veterans in the KT team. In order to ensure that Lucian will face the vampire and the sword girl will face the sword demon, the 20-second countdown time point is stuck to follow up on VG's split situation.

This is the bottom line of hero exchange time stipulated by Riot Games. Once the game officially starts less than 20 seconds, if the team changes the hero used by the players, not only will they be fined, but the opponent will also be given an opportunity to make on-the-spot adjustments to ensure that they are not affected by the game. Influence.

It is simply unrealistic if you want to change the route one second before entering the canyon.

Therefore, it is not difficult for KT to catch VG's matchup.

The final lineups of both sides were determined as follows.

Blue side VG: top laner Vampire, jungler Barrel, mid laner Sword Demon, bottom lane Kai’Sa + Karma.

Red square KT: top laner Lucian, hunting wild boar girl, mid laner sword girl, bottom lane Verus + Morgana.

Taking advantage of the gap before the end of the countdown, Hongmi is still comforting people.

"Don't worry too much, as long as we can hold off, we will definitely win!"

KT's Lucian swing certainly caught Redmi by surprise.

But it also came at a price.

The entire team’s AP damage is only a handful!

You can't rely on Pig Girl and Morgana to supplement your magic output, right?

Therefore, in Hongmi's view, if we wait for the midfielder's armor equipment to be produced, VG's chances of winning will continue to improve!

Hongmi looked at Gu Xing seriously, "Sui Gu, I'm leaving this game to you."

In the current lineup, the top and middle lines are destined to have no line rights.

The bottom lane is also because Redmi previously restricted the enemy's auxiliary hero pool, forcing itself into a desperate situation. The dual card combination of Kai'Sa + Karma is somewhat nondescript. Even if it can have a certain amount of initiative in the lane, it seems that It's not enough to change the situation of the battle.

As we all know, if the lineup has no line rights, the jungler will be hurt the most.

Not only is it difficult to find opportunities to raid lane heroes to help teammates establish an advantage, it is even difficult to defend your own jungle!

Hongmi couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought of this.

His own jungler is the absolute core, but due to the huge disparity in early combat power, his room for performance is limited. He believes that he, as the head coach, is to blame.

Gu Xing nodded solemnly, "No problem, I'll take care of it."

His unequivocal assurance made Hongmi feel uneasy.

At the referee's urging, Hongmi put away her laptop, took off her headphones, and walked towards the center of the stage.

Looking at the cheerful ZanDarC opposite, Hongmi was so angry that her teeth itched.

You like shaking, right?

Just wait for me, I won’t be able to drink any juice later!

"Chengrong, you're not very good at BP..." ZanDarC showed off with a mean greeting.

Hongmi had no intention of replying at all, but nodded slightly to show politeness, shook hands hurriedly and turned to leave the stage.

Seeing the attitude of the VG head coach, ZanDarC became even more proud.

What is the first team in history to win double championships?

Today let's see how I, KT, can pull you down and take revenge!

He recalled the generally pessimistic view of KT in China before the game and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It is said that the opening game of the Intercontinental Championship is a tough battle for KT.

Labor and management are fighting a tough battle!

The members of the three LPL brother teams who had just returned to the backstage lounge also saw the arrogant KT coach through the broadcast signal, and they immediately became anxious and restless.

"Bad, bad, bad," Xiangguo frowned, "KT, this B, really has sinister intentions and is doing some dirty tricks!"

At the end, a Tibetan saying comes out of habit.

"Mother doesn't want it anymore!"

"I'm so sorry, I really don't know how to win in the mid-lane laning!" Iboy added, "If I see the pressure on my teammates during the qualifying match, I can't wait to quit the game/ff!"

There were about thirty players from the three teams plus the coaching staff, and the room was packed to the brim.

Everyone is not very optimistic about VG based on the lineup analysis alone.

Because no matter how you think about it, it is difficult to find a breakthrough from the enemy's line blockade.

There was a lot of noise and confusion for a while.

Although before the game, because of the audience's revenge against the LMS division, the players sitting here were aroused and wanted to give Wanwan some color.

But defeating the LMS division is ultimately just a side mission.

The main line is still the same, and it must defeat the LCK.

If VG is at a disadvantage in the battle between the Spring Split champions, it will inevitably lead to a cliff-like decline in the morale of all personnel!

"Don't argue, don't argue!" Kuro, who was responsible for guarding the water dispenser, raised his voice and used increasingly standard Chinese to admonish the brothers and allies of the other three teams, "I believe that Gu Gu... When has he ever let you down in a critical game?"

"That's true." Shi Senming took a clear stand. He and Li Ruixing were both die-hard supporters of Gu Xing. He raised his thin arms to show his support for him. "Brother Xing will definitely be able to break the situation!"

"Just rush and that's it!"

At this time, the camera in the lounge flashed past the stands inside the Dalian Sports Center, and then Summoner's Rift suddenly descended!

The broadcast signal was cut to God's perspective and connected to the VG team's voice.

"Our first level is too aggressive," Gu Xing's tone was still calm and gentle, "Let's take a defensive position along the river first. They probably won't dare to come together as a group."

When it comes to level 1 combat effectiveness, both sides can only be said to be equally matched.

Even though VG has the burden of being a vampire, the auxiliary position is Karma who comes with his own ultimate skill!

If KT dares to form a group and invade the VG jungle area, Duan Deliang will definitely be able to hit several people and seriously deplete the enemy's health as long as he gives RQ [Soul Flame]!

"Then do we need to go to the jungle area on the opposite side to do some wards before we wait for the troops to gather together?" Chaowei asked the team leader's opinion.

Gu Xing did not answer directly, but asked, "Blue Cat, do you want to pull the string at the beginning?"

Kim Tae-sang, who was listening to the communication between VG players backstage, almost suffered from PTSD after hearing this.

Also against Dao Mei, Chovy deliberately used a line pull move before the intercontinental game against RW, allowing the troops to advance directly to the VG tower, and also destroyed Dao Mei's consecutive 3Qs to kill all the front row melee fighters. The soldiers have the opportunity to use exquisite skills to reverse the initial gap in combat power and show off their talents to the fullest!

It is precisely because of this that Doinb's Sword Girl didn't have any particularly outstanding performance overall, and was firmly suppressed by the super powerful matchup.

Now Zheng Zhixun plans to repeat his old trick, "You can pull it a little. I will feel a little more comfortable facing the sword girl after I reach level 3..."

Just like Yasuo doesn't always have an advantage against Dao Mei, the same is true for Dao Mei against Sword Demon.

In the first 3 levels, Irelia was leading without thinking when fighting Sword Demon.

When Aatrox learns all the small skills and slowly lowers the CD of Q [Darkin Blade], the exchange ability will be significantly improved and he will not be particularly disadvantaged.

This tug-of-war period will continue until Dao Mei makes the power of the three phases.

Once the three phases come out, Sword Girl can fight head-on in the Sword Demon's face when both sides have similar HP!

"Then there's no need to be a ward," Gu Xing made a decision. "It will be difficult for the pig girl on the opposite side to catch you in the early stage."

After pulling the line, the minion handover position will continue to advance towards the VG middle tower. As long as Chaowei keeps his blood volume in a healthy state, Score will have no chance to attack!

However, VG does not intend to win, and KT will not give up.

They understand that if the two sides engage in a 5v5 battle, their side will not get much advantage.

Therefore, instead of staying in the lower half, three powerful heroes in the upper, middle and jungle formed an arrow and broke into the VG upper and jungle area around 1 minute and 15 seconds!

In front of Song Jinghao, Kiin placed his first jewelry eye in the area connecting the VG blue zone and the Demon Swamp Frog camp to detect Gu Xing's wild movements.

Smeb, a vampire, couldn't arrange the eye position in seconds, so he had to mark the specific location of the accessory eye for his jungler's reference.

"I'll start from the Ueno area," Gu Xing marked his blue BUFF camp and reminded his teammates, "Mai Bo, just try to gain some experience after you go online. Don't be too greedy."

"I understand!" Smeb agreed.

Although Vladimir is nicknamed a vampire, his early blood-sucking recovery ability is really limited.

If Lucian consumes two waves, there is basically no chance of replenishing it.

Before Song Jinghao's level equipment was ready, his ability to clear lines was extremely low.

If the opponent wants to hoard lanes and jump over the tower, it will be easy!

And if you want to defeat the enemy's tower escaping plan, you naturally need to stabilize your blood volume!

As Gu Xing said, greed is not enough.

The time was approaching one and a half minutes, and the soldiers from both sides were about to hand over in the middle. Chaowei rushed across the center line and headed towards the enemy's first tower before the soldiers arrived, intending to use his body to hold back the hatred of KT's soldiers.

However, this time Ucal was well prepared.

After accompanying the two Ueno brothers to the VG Ueno area for eye positioning, he huddled in the narrow path between the grass above the middle road and his own Sharpbill camp.

There is a blind spot in the shadow of the corner of the wall, waiting for Chaowei to cross the center line to pull the minions!

Now click Q every second, close the distance, and then the sharp blade impact directly hits the sword demon's face, and it hits him with one strike!

Chaowei's secret path was terrible, but he weighed the situation and decided to continue pulling the string.

Swinging up the heavy sword, the passive [Death Sword Qi] stabbed the sword girl, reducing the opponent's health and causing serious injuries.

After the KT soldiers arrived, Chaowei once again attacked with basic attacks, successfully drawing the hatred of the enemy line to himself one step ahead.

Immediately seeing that the plan worked, he turned around and retreated to the rear, not wanting to be damaged by the sword girl.

But Ucal refused to give in. Taking advantage of Dao Mei's basic attack range of up to 200 yards, he kept sticking to Chaowei's side and kept moving and slashing!

In the end, he lowered the sword demon's health bar by half, and then let Chovy retreat into the surrounding soldiers!

"Tsk..." Chaowei looked a little annoyed, "The guy across from me guessed my plan."

From where Dao Mei was hiding, he could guess that the other party must have Bear!

Previously, I didn't dare to hand over Q [Darkborn Blade] to exchange blood even though I was super powerful throughout the game.

This skill has long-range damage, which will not only hurt Dao Mei, but even affect the KT line!

If his Q skill lowered the enemy's line of health, wouldn't his previous line-pulling actions have been a waste of effort?

Chaowei, who could only be beaten passively, felt very unhappy.

At the same time, panic was quietly spreading in my heart.

From BP to opening layout, KT is much stronger than any team he has seen before!

For example, IG, although Broiler has outstanding personal strength, but often the team does not excel in BP, but will be suppressed by Redmi. The heroes and the overall lineup they receive will not put too much pressure on Chaowei.

Now, Ucal, also a talented newcomer, with the support of the team's excellent BP, allows Chovy to experience extremely terrifying pressure!

"It's okay, as long as the troops push over and you grow up slowly," Gu Xing said with relief, "We don't have to worry."

No matter what he said, Gu Xing couldn't feel happy in his heart.

There is no need for Smeb's vampire to grab the line at the beginning, so he helps him open the jungle and then go online.

After his teammates left, Gu Xing picked up the barrel under his arm and beat the blue buff wildly, while still paying attention to the top lane.

The situation is also not optimistic.

Smeb is following the principle of survival, just standing far behind the army line to gain experience.

But Kiin doesn’t even want him to eat the troops!

He controlled Lucian to stand in the line of grass closest to the upper tower of VG. He didn't touch the minions at all except for the tail knife, and allowed the minions of both sides to attack each other!

Before the KT soldier died, Song Jinghao wanted to move forward close to the wall away from Lucian, and came within the range of gaining experience. As a result, Kiin learned an E slide without saying a word and moved forward, using two passive shots and then a normal shot. Attack, easily trigger a strong attack!

The vampire's blood volume instantly dropped by nearly 1/3!

"Damn it, Siba," Smeb muttered, "You haven't won, have you? Jiang Zi is overwhelming?"

In order to maintain his blood volume, he simply gave up experience.

Anyway, when Kiin just slid forward to consume blood, he also attracted the hatred of the VG soldiers, while the KT soldiers have been working diligently to focus fire on the enemy's troops. This further caused an imbalance in the combat power of both sides.

In addition, even if Lucian tries his best to block the attack trajectory of his own soldiers and hit the enemy's remaining health soldiers with basic attacks to make up for them, it is impossible for every soldier to achieve such perfection.

The last hit will definitely give KT minions a further advantage.

If things go on like this, the army line will definitely advance towards the VG tower!

Song Jinghao was not in a hurry. He drank the medicine bottle to replenish his blood volume and prepared to connect the wire under the tower.

Gu Xing killed the blue buff and raised it to level 2, and suddenly felt a vague sense of crisis.

KT allowed top laner Kiin to suppress lanes so fiercely and kept forcing Song Jinghao out of the experience zone. Should he let Score's pig girl come over to jump the tower?

The more Gu Xing thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

You know, there are eye positions arranged by the enemy under your feet!

KT knew that he was brushing from top to bottom. When the top lane troops entered the first tower of VG, Gu Xing would definitely not stay in the top half!

At this time, Score's pig girl comes to the top lane, and with Lucian, she will almost certainly be able to kill the vampire!

Even if Smeb operates properly and upgrades to level 2 to learn the blood pool, it can only delay the time of death. Without control skills, the opponent can take turns to switch resistances to ensure the success rate of tower-crossing kills!

Gu Xing's brain was spinning rapidly, trying to think of a countermeasure on the spot.

Perhaps, after reaching level 3 in the upper half, it would be a better choice to pretend to go to the lower half to develop, but actually go around in a big circle and hit the road to do anti-crouching?

A classic blinding technique, Gu Xing used this trick to take advantage of countless powerful enemies.

So when he was thinking about countermeasures, this plan immediately came to his mind.

but……

wrong!

Gu Xing frowned.

Even if the counter-crouching is in place, how can one fight against the enemy's jungler with a wine barrel and a vampire?

There are simply not enough means!

Even if you use E Flash Meat, Egg, Green Onion and Chicken to forcefully retain the enemy, your opponent's double 3 top and jungle combination can use burst damage to kill the level 2 vampire instantly!

With VG in the wild and the artillery damage from the defense tower, KT could survive and be replaced by one hero, but the other one could still escape!

But is the 1-for-1 exchange in one tower on VG really profitable for Gu Xing?

Beer Man's vital flash was lost, and Smeb, who was in desperate need of development, also lost a large wave of troops under the tower!

No matter how much you calculate, you won’t make any money!

In the flash of lightning, Gu Xing had another plan in his mind.

"Mai Bo, take two more steps forward and see if you can gain some experience!" he commanded.

"Ah?!" Song Jinghao was experienced, but he couldn't help but look confused at this moment, "If I go forward, I will definitely be consumed by the opponent!"

Time was running out, and Gu Xing had no time to explain to his teammates, "...Just listen to me and that's it!"

After spending a year and a half with Gu Xing, Smeb truly trusted the team leader from the bottom of his heart. Even though he had doubts, he still followed the jungler's instructions and took two steps forward, hoping to gain experience.

Sure enough, Kiin, who had just turned his E slide, would not miss any opportunity to change his blood pressure. He rushed forward again and hit the vampire with two shots!

Click on the floor to pursue forward. After the built-in cooldown of the basic attack ends, raise your hand and shoot again!

The crisp attack trigger sound echoed in Kiin's ears.

Then follow up with Q [Transparent Holy Light]!

Kiin looked at the vampire running away with his head in his arms, showing a satisfied smile.

Top laner Lucian is really cool!

This is the charm of a top shooter!

Gu Xing felt quite satisfied when he saw Lucian handing over his E skill.

He held the wine barrel and handed him Punishment to kill the Demon Swamp Frog. He first turned around and headed towards the Shadow Wolf camp below in front of the enemy's sight.

In fact, go around in a circle, use the exploding cones between the blue zone and the three wolves, and quickly head towards the upper river!

It is worth mentioning that if Pig Girl wants to speed up the road and jump over the tower, she will definitely not be able to plunder the river crabs in 2 minutes.

Otherwise, going back and forth will waste a lot of time. By the time he gets on the road, the troops may have already entered the turret!

In an ideal state, the Susan Crossing Tower should be planted with two groups in the jungle area, and then the upper river is included in the bag, just in time for Susan to move up.

Gu Xing benefited from Song Jinghao's help in opening the jungle and the ejection of exploding cones at the beginning. However, Zhu Mei, who was ahead of Score in the jungle, found a good opportunity to steal the river crab.

However, he didn't even look at the coquettish Swift Crab. He knew that he had rashly activated the Crab without any punishment. If he accidentally slowed down his jungle clearing speed, Score would be waiting for him!

He chose to hit the road!

According to the information reported earlier by his teammates, the ward position in his blue zone was done by Kiin.

Then before 4 minutes, top laner Lucian will not have any props that can be used to arrange his vision!

In other words, Kiin knew nothing about his raid!

"Maibo, look at my position, be prepared to freeze your hands at any time!" Gu Xing gave the order.

The game now comes to 2 minutes and 20 seconds.

The artillery troop line on the road has not yet arrived, and the handover position of the troop line is still stuck in front of the VG tower.

Although Song Jinghao's health was replaced twice before, the good news is that he still gained the army experience he deserved.

Now that he had reached level 2, when he saw Gu Xing coming to the bushes at the junction of the upper road and the river, he sprinted forward without saying a word!

When Kiin saw the vampire rushing towards his face, he instinctively realized that something was wrong.

He wanted to retreat, but the E slide was still cooling down!

The shot the designer fired at Lucian on the eve of the S7 World Championship hit Kiin right between the eyebrows!

Gu Xing emerged from the grass and hit Lucian with his E [Meat, Egg, Onion, Chicken]!

Kiin panicked and saw a belly attack from behind, so he quickly handed over his flash and ran back.

Unfortunately, the next moment, another golden light flashed out!

The man carrying the beer chased after him, and his belly hit Lucian just right, knocking the crispy shooter to the point of being dizzy!

Naturally, Smeb would not let go of this great opportunity to deal damage. He took a sip of Q and charged up E to explode and consume Lucian's health!

Since Kiin had crossed the line twice before and suppressed him, he had attracted more or less hatred from the VG minions. His health was not at full level. He was knocked down by the enemy's skill burst, and his health bar bottomed out in an instant!

Moreover, Gu Xing's Q [Rolling Barrel] was still placed under his feet, delaying the explosion to cause more damage, and applying a slowing effect to keep him here!

Kiin gritted his teeth. He was helpless and knew he would die. He decisively turned around and fought back. He aimed his Q [Transparent Holy Light] at the vampire, trying to replace the remaining blood of Song Jinghao before he died.

It's just that Smeb can always save his life. When he sees something is wrong, he surrenders his flash and retreats, creating a distance so that the enemy's two fatal passive shots cannot be fired!

Gu Xing successfully took away Lucian's life with a basic attack!

A burst of blood!

Genting players are not very good, shoveling is the best!
