Chapter 382: The end of the first round of small group compet.i.tion
In the cheers of the audience, the battle between IF and OST officially began!
It was obvious that IF had come up with a strategy that had never been used before in order to deal with OST. After the start of the game, OST chose the Mondo Red Lane, while brightmoon would return to the top lane after she took the blue Lane, establishing the upper hand in the top lane.
However, IF seemed to have seen through the opponent’s tactical intentions. Scorpion and the bottom lane duo directly crouched in the bushes at the bottom lane. After the blue buff refreshed, they decisively bypa.s.sed the ward and invaded, successfully s.n.a.t.c.hing the blue buff from the OT.
At the same time, IF’s top-laner, Lady Blade, had also taken down her own blue buff with the help of the vampire. Scorpion then returned to his own jungle to take down the red buff, successfully achieving a start with three buffs.
Reminiscing: “wow, you can see that IF’s opening strategy clearly shows that he’s studied the bot strategy. In that case, blade girl with the blue buff at the top lane should have the advantage against brightmoon. The jungler will also develop faster with an extra buff. Vampire in the middle lane has also gained a certain advantage when he’s going against Lux in the laning. The pace of the IF in the early game is very good.”
Ke Zhen was also very excited.”That’s right. Obviously, IF’s plan worked. Because of vampire’s characteristics as a hero, he can push the lane mindlessly. This is equivalent to locking Lux in the middle lane so that Frost can’t support the other lanes. Once lacus leaves, the vampires will cause a lot of trouble for the OT whether it’s to support or to push the turret. ”
Memories: “but, the SOT Lane is a combination of big mouth and Lulu. If this combination can develop in the later stages, it will be very scary. I don’t know IF IF they will target the SOT Lane.”
“Big mouth needs a long time to develop. Currently, IF’s Ezreal and Tauren at the bottom lane basically don’t have to worry about getting caught. We just have to wait for Scorpion to reach Level 6, then IF can start to mess around like crazy.”
The match continued. Scorpion, who was at Level 3, was immediately caught, and Tauren flashed to the top, directly forcing out two flashes from the opposing duo at the bottom lane.
In the middle lane, although Frost’s Lux was also frantically trying to kill off Hu Jing’s vampire, vampire was a hero with great endurance. As long as he hid behind the minion wave and took a few breaths, he would be able to recover his health.
…
Scorpion’s level 4 attack came down again, successfully taking advantage of the bot duo’s vision gap. Tauren’s WQ raised its mouth twice, and Scorpion and Ezreal followed up with damage output, successfully killing them.
“FIRST BLOOD!”
The sound effect of first blood resounded through the entire Stadium, and the audience immediately erupted into deafening cheers!
IF blade girl at the top lane had successfully suppressed brightmoon, but she had also been caught by Mondo once because she had pressed too deep into the lane, and she had used her flash.
Scorpion, who was at Level 5, went around the blue buff area and grabbed at the back. Vampire was big. The two of them planned to kill Lux from Frost with a set of damage, but frmot’s control was very good, and in the end, they escaped with low health.
At this stage, everyone was still in the “fight if you don’t agree” stage. They were all walking around and causing trouble. There was no longer any long and smelly operations at all. Therefore, the effect of the compet.i.tion program was simply explosive. The cheers at the venue were also getting louder and louder.
After s.n.a.t.c.hing away the blue buff from the bot, Scorpion once again gave his blue buff to Lady Blade to ensure that he had the upper hand in the top lane. After all, vampire could not take the blue buff, and Hu Jing’s task in this game was very simple, which was to tie up frot.
After Scorpion rose to Level 6, he temporarily did not find a good opportunity to pull people in. After all, the bot side was well aware of the threat that Scorpion posed when he reached Level 6. Moreover, they were at a disadvantage, so they could only hide for the time being.
IF he could take down a small dragon, but unfortunately, the Dragon’s attributes were not very good, and it was only a Wind Dragon.
The IF’s Blue buff refreshed again. This time, the SOT decided to invade and steal the IF’s Blue buff. Mondo and brightmoon successfully forced Scorpion to flash. However, Hu Jing’s vampiric support was very timely. He immediately flashed over the wall and used his ulti. Saber sister also came over to surround him. The three players from the OT immediately retreated when they realized that they could not win. However, it was already too late. The combat power of vampiric and saber sister was extremely terrifying!
Lux wanted to use her Q-skill to freeze the vampire, but she was dodged by Hu Jing’s blood pool!
In the end, the crescent moon was killed, and Lux could only escape from the Dragon’s pit with a flash. Mundo was also surrounded by the Minotaurs, and his head was given to the Scorpion.
OST paid the price for their reckless invasion. After that, IF’s economic advantage had expanded to about 4000. Although they did not kill too many people, their third-line advantage and jungle resources were enough to pull apart the economic gap.
After that, IF fought steadily. Because of the economic disadvantage of the OT, the brightmoon 8.0 and Mondo’s equipment were not good, and no matter who Scorpion pulled, he would be able to kill them instantly, so the situation quickly reversed to IF’s side.
Although Lux from Frost did not die even once, she could not save the world with saberswoman and Scorpion’s equipment.
The game was finally set at the 37th minute, with the score of 11-6. This time, there weren’t too many kills because the OT team had been avoiding the match. However, the level and excitement of this match were far higher than the previous matches where the score difference was huge.
He recalled,’in the last wave of team battle, IF could be said to have destroyed all obstacles and successfully destroyed the OT crystal hub, winning this game! Let’s congratulate! At the end of the first round of the group stage, he became the top of the group with a record of 3-0!”
“Congratulations, IF!” Ke Zhen said.
IF’s five members came to the center of the stage. All five of them were very excited and enjoyed the applause and cheers of the audience!
