Chapter 63: Revenge
"Left Hand, your Vladimir isn't doing so well against Sylas this game."
White Crescent said with some concern, "How about I switch you to a different hero?"
"No problem, my Irelia isn't afraid of Sylas."
Knight shook his head: "Besides, Xx's Gragas has an advantage in the jungle, so our mid and jungle can play freely."
"Alright then."
White Crescent nodded: "LokeN, you take Ezreal first."
After LokeN on the fourth floor picked Ezreal, White Crescent suddenly said, "Ben, you pick Vladimir on the fifth floor."
369 is really speechless.
Why does the coach want him to play a vampire again?
TheShy is still waiting for me in the counter position.
Didn't I say I wouldn't let myself be subjected to military training again?
What kind of nonsense is it to play with vampires?
"Coach, I just got ganked by the enemy team in the last game with my vampire, I'm worried I won't perform well and will drag the team down..."
Although Xx's Gragas had a natural advantage in the jungle, a champion like Vladimir can easily drag down the team if he gets ganked a couple of times in the early game.
"Top Esports picked Vladimir again this game. They already picked Irelia, and IG doesn't have many champions to gank Vladimir."
Remember affirmed Top Esports's pick: "What will IG pick? Neeko is a good choice."
With only four seconds left in the champion selection time, IG was still debating which champion to give TheShy.
Ultimately, IG gave TheShy Kennen.
With the lineups finalized, the players began exchanging hero positions.
"Ben, you and Left Hand can switch hero positions."
The white crescent moon spoke quietly.
His left hand froze on the spot, his pupils widening.
"Coach, what did you say?" He turned around instinctively, his voice rising a fraction of an inch: "Didn't you say... I should play Irelia against Sera? How did it suddenly turn into a vampire?"
White Crescent remained calm: "Let 369 play with the Blade of Despair, you can play Vladimir."
Knight's expression visibly froze. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
He slowly clicked the mouse, accepted Ben's hero trade, and then stared at the vampire on the screen, remaining silent for two seconds.
"I... fine."
The tone of his voice was even more somber than when 369 had just said, "I'm afraid I won't perform well."
And just like that, the lineups for both sides have been finalized.
Blue side TES: Top lane Irelia, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Vladimir, Bot lane Ezreal + Yuumi.
Red team IG: Top lane Kennen, Jungle Kindred, Mid lane Sylas, Bot lane Sivir + Lux.
"Come on, let's enter Summoner's Rift. The decisive game between the two sides is about to begin."
After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the bottom left corner of the game screen showed the audience in the arena, with TES fans waving glow sticks and shouting encouragement for TES.
The sound was loud enough, but the momentum was much weaker.
In contrast, the cheers from IG fans had a rather intimidating effect.
The female fans, in particular, were all shouting louder than the last.
"Both sides' fans are really going all out," Remember said with a smile.
Both junglers started with red buff.
Interestingly, both TheShy and Knight brought the Kleptomancy talent and happily stole gold in lane.
In this matchup, Forge played very aggressively in the mid lane.
The Sylas he played in the previous game gave him momentum and confidence.
Find an opportunity to use E to hook Knight, then go in and trade blows.
Knight remained calm and, after taking a full combo from Forge, immediately used his own skills to chase and whittle down Forge's health.
The two sides traded blows, and both had only one-third of their health remaining.
The other two lanes were developing steadily, and they didn't actively trade blows before the jungler ganked them.
But Xx soon broke the peace.
After clearing the blue buff, Xx, as usual, had already reached the tri-bush in the red team's top lane.
At this point, there is no vision on the IG map.
However, 369's sudden move to Q the minions made TheShy wary, and he immediately turned around to prepare to retreat.
The next second, Xx swaggered from the triangular bush to the front of TheShy's turret.
At the same time, TheShy had already activated his E skill, preparing to escape quickly.
Xx's Gragas aimed for the right angle to use E-Flash on TheShy, but TheShy seemed to have anticipated Xx's move. With a quick turn, TheShy successfully baited Xx's E-Flash and then used Flash to escape back to the tower, defusing the crisis.
"It's worth it."
Xx said with a smile.
Kennen doesn't have Flash. When they come to gank again, as long as they can bait out TheShy's E skill, they can kill him.
Another point is that Kennen, without Flash, will play much more cautiously in lane, which will make it easier for Irelia to have a comfortable time in lane.
The game lasted 4 minutes and 11 seconds.
The director switched the camera to the center.
In the video, both Forge and Knight have less than 300 health points.
They have clearly already engaged in a fierce battle.
Knight suddenly activated his sprint and chased after the retreating Forge.
Forge had a bad feeling and had already put his hand on Flash.
Seeing that the vampire's red rage health bar was about to be full, Forge did not hesitate to use Flash under the tower.
Unexpectedly, Knight used Flash in sync, followed by Flash E, and then a red-rage Q, securing a solo kill in his lane.
Knight smiled.
IG players' rest area.
Mafa stared at Chen Song beside him and couldn't help but ask, "Forge got solo killed by Knight's vampire, things are going to be tough for him now."
Chen Song casually replied, "The competition has only just begun, why are you in such a hurry?"
After saying that, he turned his head and secretly glanced at Su Xiaoluo.
He thought to himself that Mafa was quite bold, taking advantage of Su Xiaoluo's inability to understand Korean to speak fluently.
"Of course it's urgent."
Mafa sat up straight: "TheShy in the top lane just got forced to use Flash by Gragas, and Forge got solo killed by a late-game Vladimir. This is very disadvantageous for our lineup."
"It's just a solo kill; it won't have much impact on the early to mid-game. You don't really think that one solo kill will allow Vladimir to take off in the mid-game, do you?"
Chen Song stared at the screen: "I can only say that this solo kill is a huge morale booster and allows Vladimir to develop a little bit earlier, but in the small team fights later, Sylas is still much stronger than Vladimir."
"Take a look at Ning's jungle pathing this game. He started with red buff and farmed downwards. This means he was planning to help the bot lane, and I completely agree with that."
"I often tell Ning to help the bot lane more, but when it comes to the actual game, he still has to take control of his own rhythm."
"The effect of grabbing it like this is actually very good."
Chen Song didn't continue explaining because a fight broke out in the mid lane.
Ning initiated a gank on the mid lane, which resulted in a one-for-one trade between Forge and Xx in the mid and jungle.
The good news is that Ning gained a passive mark from the barrel.
The bad news is: Knight's vampire has gotten another kill on Forge.
"The vampire has gotten another kill."
Mafa sighed.
Judging from the vampire's development, he felt that IG was about to lose the game.
For Mafa, there is only one reason why he believes IG will not lose.
That is, Chen Song hasn't even said that IG is doomed yet. If Chen Song had said that, Mafa would definitely have lost his temper.
