In the commentary box, Miller talked eloquently, "After experiencing the defeat in the first game, TES is now standing on the edge of the cliff. In this game, they took the initiative to choose the red side! This is a very interesting choice, giving up the advantage of the blue side, but leaving the counter position to themselves!" , "This shows that TES has a clear tactical arrangement. They hope to get the key heroes they want in the back. Let's see what kind of BP game the two sides will bring us!"
"Okay, the players from both sides are already in place! In the second round of BO3, EDG is on the blue side and TES is on the red side! The game is about to enter the BP session!"
As the countdown ends, the BP interface suddenly lights up!
"Okay, we see that EDG on the blue side took the lead in banning people!"
EdG's first three ban positions were given to Udyr, Hecarim and the male gunner in turn.
"EDG's ban player has a very clear idea!" Miller immediately analyzed, "Three consecutive bans in the jungle! They just don't give Karsa the most comfortable rhythm hero, forcing you to play functional junglers!"
It's the turn of the red side TES's ban player.
"We're going as planned." White Crescent Moon's voice was steady, "Respect, give him enough respect. Kill the Sword Demon in his previous game, as well as the Brawn Hao and Tetsuo in the opener. We won't play with him on the top lane, but we can't let him get a hero that can snowball and radiate all over the map."
So, TES's first three ban positions were locked in Darkin Sword Demon, Wrist Hao, and Mordekaiser.
"Another three top laners!" Watanabe said, "TES's tactical intention is too obvious! They have banned all the heroes that Brother Mozi has used before, and they are telling you clearly that we will not play top lane with you in this game!"
The first round of bans is over, and we enter the selection process.
EDG has a steal on the blue side!
"Viper, what do you want?" Abu asked.
"Tristana." Viper's answer was concise and confident.
"Small cannon! EDG directly locked the Merlin Gunner for Viper on the first floor!" Miller shouted, "This is an ADC with a very fast tempo of pushing towers and the ability to protect itself. EDG wants to play a fast tempo in the early stage!"
It is the turn of the red square TES to select players on the first and second floors.
"They took the small cannon, we'll take Xia Luo." White Crescent Moon made a decisive decision, "Jackeylove, Ming, your Xia Luo, it's no problem to use small cannons online, and the team battle effect will be greater."
"No problem!"
TES's first and second floors quickly locked in the classic combination of Xia Luo and Luo!
"Xia Luo! TES has come up with their championship skin combination!" Watanabe said, "This combination's laning strength and team-starting ability are top-notch! It seems that the bottom lane will be the top priority for this game!"
EDG's second and third floor selection.
"They Xialuo, let's use the bull's head to protect the cannon. Scout, what do you want in the middle?" asked the factory director.
"Clockwork, be more stable, and it will be easier to cooperate in a group fight."
"EDG quickly locked the Tauren Chief and Clockwork Demon! Another Clockwork! Scout really has a soft spot for this hero! With the addition of Clockwork, EDG's team battle control and fault tolerance are very high!"
The first round of selection is over, and it's time to ban people in the second round.
The red side TES is banned first.
“We ban the jungler and press Jiejie’s Nocturne and Olaf, forcing him to choose a development type.” White Crescent Moon said.
TES four or five bans, Nocturne and Olaf are on the list.
Blue side EDG then banned.
"They haven't come out yet, so they banned Knight's Zoe and 369's Jess." Su Mo's voice sounded in the team.
EDG four or five ban, Zoe, Jess.
"The bans for both sides in the second round are all aimed at the midfield and upper jungle! Now, the pressure comes to the red side TES to select players!"
TES selects players on the third and fourth floors.
"Knight, take Victor to ensure the output in the later stage." Bai Yue said, "Karsa, you take the bear, and go to the bottom lane to do things in the early stage."
TES quickly locked Victor and Thunder Roar!
"Victor and Bear!" Miller analyzed, "TES's lineup is already very clear! The top lane is pressure-resistant, the mid-lower duo is dual-core, and the jungler Bear focuses on early gank and control, just to ensure the development of the bottom lane!"
Now, it's EDG's turn to select players on the fourth and fifth floors.
"Jiejie, what do you use to beat the bear?"
"Take a troll, brush against him in the jungle, and you can restrain him with your ultimate move." Jiejie said.
EDG's fourth floor locked the Troll King.
All eyes were focused on EDG’s last counter position on the fifth floor, which belonged to Su Mo.
Everyone held their breath.
Facing a TES who has made it clear that they will give up the top lane and stick to the bottom lane, and face a pressure-resistant top laner who is about to be selected, what will Mo choose?
Should I choose a captain or a vampire to develop peacefully? Or choose Kennen to torture the opponent?
Su Mo's fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and immediately, a hero was locked.
On the screen, a bald figure carrying a huge scroll, with dark blue skin and eyes shining with arcane light, was instantly selected!
rune mage, Ryze!
「Ritz?!!!」
In the commentary box, Miller and Wawa once again exclaimed in disbelief at the same time!
"Ryze top laner! Brother Mozi's last choice turned out to be Ryze!" Miller blinked, "As a top laner, this hero is already an antique from the S7 and S8 era! In this version, he has no movement and is fragile. Can he really survive on the top lane?"
The baby was also completely confused, but he quickly reacted, with a flash of light in his eyes. Jing Guang: "Wait a minute! I seem to understand! I seem to understand the horror of Brother Mozi's choice!"
Miller was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What do you think TES's strategy will be?" Wawa spoke very fast, "It's most likely to give up the top lane and stick to the bottom lane! Right?"
"Yes."
"Then if they really implement this tactic and ignore the top lane, what kind of perfect development environment will this Ryze get without any interference? What kind of monster will an unattended Ryze, who can push the lane, develop, and eat taps infinitely, become in the mid-term?"
Miller took a breath, and he understood instantly. : "I understand! This is a conspiracy! A trap! If TES doesn't care about Ryze, Ryze will develop into an unsolvable boss! But if they take care of Ryze and send people to catch him, isn't that playing into EDG's hands and violating their own strategic core of "giving up on the road"? Moreover, Ryze has a big move after level 6. If you want to catch him to death, the price you have to pay is too high!"
"That's right!" Wawa slapped the table, "This Ryze is not just a simple hero choice, it is a challenge to TES's entire tactical system! He threw a huge problem directly in TES's face! Now, it's TES's turn to make a choice!"
The barrage in the live broadcast room, after a brief moment of shock, also boiled over!
"Holy shit! Are all the bald heads here? Renaissance?"
"This BP, I would like to call it the hand of God! Direct general!"
"Coach TES: My mentality is broken! I just said I gave up on the road, you choose Ryze for me?"
"369: Coach, can I still be a sandbag? I feel like I'm going to be beaten into a sandbag..."
Amidst the overwhelming discussion, the last choice of TES finally came to light.
Faced with this difficult situation, under the guidance of the coach, 369 locked in a hero who can withstand the most pressure - the undead war god, Sion!
"Sion! 369's last move, he chose Sion!" Miller said, "This is a very safe choice! Sion can use his E skill to last long range hits, has a strong wave clearing ability, and is tanky enough to not be easily killed alone. His ultimate move can also allow him to quickly support the battlefield in the lower half! This is the best response that TES can make!"
At this point, the lineups of both sides are finally determined!
Blue side EDG: top laner Ryze, jungler Troll, mid laner Clockwork, ADC small cannon, and auxiliary bull head.
Red side TES: top laner Sion, jungler Xiong, mid laner Victor, ADC Xia, and support Luo.
"Okay, the lineups of both sides are confirmed! An ultimate game of tactics is about to take place!" Wawa's voice was full of anticipation, "Which is TES's tactics better, or is Brother Mozi's Ryze able to "grow to the sky"? Let's wait and see!"
As the familiar system prompt sounded, ten players officially entered the Summoner's Rift!
Su Mo looked at the rune mage he chose and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
What he has to do is not just win this line.
What he wants to do is to disrupt the opponent's entire strategy,
"Welcome to Summoner's Rift!"
With the familiar system prompt tone, the ultimate showdown of this tactical game officially kicked off.
The ten players quickly bought their going out outfits and rushed to their respective positions.
However, just when everyone thought EDG would start the game normally, Su Mo made a suggestion in their team voice channel that surprised his teammates.
"Meiko, why don't you go to the lower road at the same level and come with me to the upper road."
"Huh? Go to the upper road?" Meiko's bull head just walked out of the spring, and after hearing this He was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing? Do you want to cause trouble at the first level?"
"No trouble," Su Mo's voice was calm and clear, "Just help me put a hole in the grass in the middle of the upper road, and then go directly back to the city and go to the lower road."
"Just insert a ward?" Meiko was a little confused, but he still carried out the task unconditionally, "Okay, no problem."
Hence, under the gaze of all the audience and commentators, EDG's auxiliary Niutou did not go to the bottom lane to stand guard at the entrance of the river as usual, but followed Sumo's Ryze and went straight to the top lane.
"Huh? What's happening here on EDG's side?" In the commentary box, Wawa was keenly aware of the anomaly, "Nutau followed Ryze to the top lane! Are they going to squat on Sion at level one? But it's impossible for two people to kill Sion?"
However, the next scene surprised everyone.
Meiko's bull head just stuck an ornament eye in the grass in the middle of the road, and then pressed the return button on the spot without stopping at all.
"This..." Miller was also confused, "What's the understanding? Let the support level 1 come all the way to insert a ward, and then go back to the city and run to the bottom lane, just for a regular ward position on the top lane?"
Just when the commentator and the audience were puzzled, Su Mo controlled his Ryze, walked to the grass on the top lane near the TES defense tower, and inserted his ornament eye into it.
At this point, there are three bushes on the road, and the vision of two bushes is firmly controlled by EDG.
Including the grass near EDG, all three are actually in Ryze's hands.
The army line slowly reached the top road.
On the other side, Sion, controlled by 369, also came to the top lane.
He didn't care about the river. He rushed to the line as soon as possible after finishing guarding in the wild area, and then dove into the grass near his defense tower that he thought was the safest.
His idea is very simple. He is in the grass, using his advantage of vision to fight with you. If you hit me, my skills will consume you. If you don’t hit me, I will just gain experience. Anyway, I am just a sandbag, so I don’t give you a chance to kill alone.
Su Mo looked at Sion who was burrowing into his eyes, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He pretended not to know anything and started to finish off the damage in an orderly manner.
369 saw Ryze starting to finish off, and felt that an opportunity had come. He immediately used his E skill to push a minion with residual health in the grass. The slowed minion hit Ryze accurately.
“Hey, the consumption has arrived.” 369 felt happy.
However, at the same time as his E skill was released, Su Mo's Ryze seemed to have eyes behind his back and threw a Q skill [Overload] into the grass without looking back!
Bang!
The arcane ball accurately hit Sion's huge body in the grass!
"Huh?" 369 frowned, "So lucky??"
He didn't think much and continued to focus on the grass.
Soon, Sumo's Ryze started to hit again, while 369 continued to hide in the grass.
But what he didn't expect was that a few seconds later, Ryze came over again and hit Sion in the grass again with another precise Q skill!
This time, 369 felt something was wrong.
"Is this person... guessing the location so accurate?" 369 said in the team voice, "Or do you think I have eyes in the grass?"
At the moment when he was distracted, Ryze, who was standing next to the minion, shot his Q skill through the minion, and accurately splashed onto Sion in the grass again!
"Hit again!" 369 felt like he was going crazy, "There is a ghost! This person definitely has a ghost! There are definitely eyes in the grass!"
In TES's voice channel, Karsa could only He helplessly reassured: "Don't worry, that's because he inserted the ward in advance. You should change your position."
369 took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He moved two steps in the grass and moved to the other end of the grass.
However, what he didn't know was that Su Mo could clearly see every move he made in the eyes of that little ornament.
Soon, the second wave of troops arrived on the line.
Su Mo calculated his experience accurately. The moment the first melee soldier in front of him was about to fall, he had already begun to move forward oppressively.
369's nerves were instantly tense to the extreme! He knew Ryze was going to grab second place! He clicked the mouse frantically, trying to get out of the grass and pull towards the back of the defense tower.
But that’s it, the melee soldier fell down, and the golden light exploded on Ryze’s body!
Level 2!
No hesitation, no hesitation!
At the moment of upgrading, Su Mo learned the W skill [Rune Imprisonment] in seconds, and then rushed directly towards Sion in the grass!
This time, he is going to torture people! (End of chapter)
