"Sun's Nidalee is back in the top lane, still trying to mess with Nuguri's Volibear!"
Nuguri didn't use Blink; he seemed to realize the danger, but it was too late!
Accompanied by the roar of the Emperor, GimGoon's Renekton faced the retreating Volibear, directly using two E skills to move forward, then using a basic attack followed by a Q skill to bring himself to red rage, and finally using a W skill to stun Nuguri's Volibear.
At that very moment, Lee Doo-hwan's Nidalee Q skill also hit precisely.
puff! ! !
The sound of the javelin striking its target rang out, and the hunting marker appeared!
Without Flash, Nuguri had no choice but to die from being ganged up on by the two!
It's important to know that Nuguri, like Kang Seung-rok, is the type who's willing to die if caught.
So this scene left many people speechless.
Nidalee was playing top lane with her card revealed, yet she still got a chance!
[Are you there? Why are you imitating the timely rain from next door!]
[It's a bit of an overstatement to say he only gave two ginger slices. Since coming to China and learning about social etiquette, he wouldn't have only given two!]
For a moment, I couldn't tell if you were a bastard or genuinely innocent!
[These haters are disgusting. What kind of champion is Niu Guli? Does he even deserve to be compared to Brother Sun?]
[Indeed, if it were Jiang, he would probably have died three times by now. Niu Guli is still far from good enough; he needs to practice more!]
[Don't yell, haters! IG didn't beat DWG in the group stage last year!]
[Where is Huan's brain? Huan was on Instagram back then, talking like he won!]
Sorry, my Huan-ge didn't play at the time, so IG lost, but he didn't!
Lee Doo-hwan's Nidalee in the top lane made a play once again, and Canyon's Hecarim in the bottom lane was getting a little anxious.
However, the bot lane duo of Caitlyn and Lux failed to achieve the desired effect!
Under normal circumstances, Caitlyn and Lux should be pushing the minion wave towards the tower, starting to whittle down the tower's health, and slowly chipping away at the tower's armor.
With Nidalee showing up in the top lane, if Hecarim applies pressure, T1's bot lane will have to retreat even if they don't die, and they won't be able to farm the lane!
However, the current situation is that Ghost's female police officer did not achieve the expected effect against Gu Shengbin's virtuoso. There is still a certain gap in their strength. In fact, after being pointed at by the Sun Maiden, the female police officer was chased and attacked by the other side!
For a moment, Canyon's team was a bit confused.
He wanted to do something, but he couldn't just dive the tower. Meanwhile, Nidalee already had two kills.
Therefore, he could only control the minions and forcefully help the bottom lane push a wave, allowing them to reach the T1 bottom lane turret.
However, that's all there is to it, because Gu Shengbin's Virtuoso has very good health, and there's also a Leona next to him, so it's obviously impossible to force a tower dive.
After being caught twice, Nuguri finally calmed down.
Although the opponent no longer gave him a chance, and with the increase in level, it was no longer realistic to force a tower dive like at the beginning, Lee Doo-hwan was still not idle.
Taking advantage of his ability to farm jungle monsters, once he finished clearing the jungle, he would either go to DWG's jungle to patrol or go to the mid lane to cause trouble for Xu Xiu.
This is a very common way to play Nidalee. After all, the opponent isn't stupid and won't let you kill them easily. Occasionally peeking out to help your teammates poke and put pressure on the opponent's health can also help your teammates.
puff! ! !
And sure enough, Xu Xiu's Orianna in the mid lane got shot again without him noticing!
Wow, this bid is amazing!
Seeing Orianna's health plummet after being hit by Lee Doo-hwan's Nidalee's Q skill, Roaring Emperor was immediately amused.
"To be honest, this game of Orianna is no different from laning against two other people!"
He not only had to focus on laning against Faker, but also had to be careful of Sun's Nidalee's occasional sneak attacks.
Heo Soo was also annoyed by Lee Doo-hwan's Nidalee, but there was nothing he could do. Their focus in the early stages of the game was on the bottom lane, so he could accept it as long as he didn't die.
quickly!
The dragon has been refreshed!
The moment the dragon spawned, DWG began preparations.
Their lineup can easily beat T1 lineups without a frontline if they drag the game out, and the dragon is undoubtedly the reason why they can drag the game out!
Of course, for DWG, the first dragon doesn't necessarily have to be contested.
As long as we defend well, it's acceptable to delay T1's dragon takeover.
After all, DWG took the dragon to slow down the pace of the game and make the dragon soul arrive later.
Therefore, by playing a good defensive role and delaying T1's dragon acquisition, you are essentially delaying the dragon soul acquisition time, giving your own lineup more time to develop.
T1 knew they needed to get into a fast-paced game with the dragons and couldn't let DWG drag it into the mid-to-late game.
Therefore, when Lee Sang-hyeok found an opportunity, used Sleep Bubble to stun Heo Soo-chan, and ruthlessly weakened the opponent, the two decisively began to attack the little dragon.
"T1's mid and jungle have already started to take the dragon, but DWG's bot lane can push the lane first. Should they come over and try to stop them?"
'
Upon hearing the Roaring Emperor's words, Yoon Soo-bin slowly spoke.
"But Clockwork has gone home, and he didn't teleport, so it will take him some time to get here!"
If DWG wants to stop them, they must find a way to start a fight before T1 finishes clearing the bottom lane.
Otherwise, once T1's bot lane clears the minion wave, they'll be caught in a pincer movement!
Faced with this situation, DWG demonstrated the composure expected of an LCK team.
If this were an LPL team, I wouldn't care what anyone said, I'd definitely come over and check it out, and then I'd find out there was a problem, that someone had torn a hole in them.
DWG, on the other hand, clearly has many concerns, especially facing the three-time world champion T1, which puts them under pressure.
So after careful consideration, they decided to give in.
"We can see that DWG ultimately chose to concede, which is not good news for them. The main reason is that if the first dragon is taken very quickly, then the time for the Dragon Soul will come very quickly as well."
Hearing what the Roaring Emperor said, Yoon Soo-bin also spoke up.
"Just like I said, if they don't give way in that situation, it's easy for T1's bot lane to clear the wave and then gank them."
Of course, the main reason was that Sun's Nidalee's Q skill was too accurate, and with Faker's Zoe, they directly sent Orianna back to base.
If Clockwerk is available, DWG could give it a shot.
When talking about Lee Doo-hwan's leopard woman, Yoon Soo-bin's voice clearly carried a different emotion.
The game continues.
Lee Doo-hwan's Nidalee, besides farming jungle camps, constantly harassed Heo Soo's Orianna, which kept T1 in control of the mid lane minion wave.
Having control of the central route means that no matter what happens, Lee Sang-hyeok's Zoe will have the ability to provide advance support.
This is why League of Legends is a mid-jungle game, or even a mid-lane game.
The mid laner's unique position makes them the only one who can be the first to provide support no matter what happens in the top or bottom jungle.
Looking back at the League of Legends World Championship over the years, you can see from the teams that have won the S title that...
Other positions can be mixed, but some problems may arise.
-
But in the mid lane, not a single one of them was a noob!
Before anyone could react, Xu Xiu, who was hiding under the tower, was hit by Lee Doo-hwan's Q skill from DWG's six raptors after he finished farming in the jungle.
This Q skill caused Orianna's health to visibly drop by one bar!
"Wow, it must be so painful to be a clockwork!" The Roaring Emperor's voice carried a hint of sympathy and heartache.
Although he is a fan of the old SKT, he now has to speak out for Heo Soo.
"However, the Rift Herald is about to spawn, which is not good news for DWG."
Because T1's lineup includes Renekton, this Renekton pick is a preparation for Rift Herald!
If we rashly engage in team fights, and if we don't play well, T1 can easily pull away and widen the gap!
"But if you just give up without fighting, then things will get even harder!"
While Roaring Emperor and Yoon Soo-bin were talking, Lee Doo-hwan, who was treating DWG's jungle like his own backyard, was also caught out.
"Sun seems to have overplayed their hand; this could be a disaster!" said another commentator, Kim Eui-jung.
On the big screen, the Nidalee, who had gone too far and was too disrespectful to her opponents, was caught by the Centaur Warrunner with his Clockwork Ball!
Having already reached level six, Canyon, who had been feeling stifled for so long, showed no mercy to the leopard woman before her, immediately activating her Centaur attack—
He used his E skill to charge forward.
If we can kill Nidalee, we can take the Rift Herald and relieve some of the pressure from the opponent.
Logically speaking, with the fusion skill of Centaur and Clockwerk, capturing a somewhat cunning Leopard Woman should be very easy.
Surprisingly, when Canyon unleashed their ultimate attack, their Centaur made a fatal mistake!
It's important to know that when Centaur's ultimate ability is cast, the fear effect can only be triggered within the circle indicated by the skill indicator.
If the enemy hero is not within range, then there will only be damage, and no fear effect will occur!
Hecarim's ultimate failed to inflict fear, which gave Lee Doo-hwan time to react.
Just before Orianna unleashed her ultimate ability, he used his Flash.
"Wow, what a pity!"
Watching the leopard woman flee, Kim Eui-jung shook his head with a sigh.
"This mistake was really unacceptable for Canyon!"
"It's not that it shouldn't be, it's that it's extremely deadly!" the Roaring Emperor said from the side.
"If they can kill Sun's Nidalee in this wave, they will have a chance to take the Rift Herald."
By securing this Rift Herald, they can buy themselves a lot of valuable time to develop!
Alternatively, it could help the female police officer take down T1's next tower sooner, allowing her to move to the mid lane and establish a pushing rhythm.
But if T1 gets the Rift Herald, then DWG probably won't be able to contest their second dragon!
Just as Roaring Emperor analyzed, since DWG's mid and jungle failed to kill Nidalee with their two ultimate abilities, T1 naturally took the Rift Herald.
Using the Rift Herald, T1 placed it in the mid lane to distract DWG before the second dragon spawned, while DWG took control of the river.
This is also a common way to play a poke composition: secure vision early on and then continuously harass the enemy.
Watching Nidalee's Q skill was like watching her with autopilot, accurately hitting DWG's players.
Even the Roaring Emperor, a fan of Lee Doo-hwan with blind admiration, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
"Sun, this leopard woman is too over the top!"
His Q skill hit rate is just too high!
As they were talking, Lee Doo-hwan controlled Nidalee and unleashed another Q skill.
puff! ! !
The javelin struck BeryI Zhao Qianxi's Lux with pinpoint accuracy.
As a support character, his health dropped significantly!
"That Nidalee's skills are ridiculously accurate!"
After eating one of the dishes, Zhao Qianxi couldn't help but complain.
"Who says otherwise?" Xu Xiu sighed.
Because he was the one who received the most care from Lee Doo-hwan's leopard woman!
It wasn't just the commentators and DWG members; even the people in the live stream were the same.
[That leopard woman, damn it, she's activated it!?]
[That's a bit of an underestimation of my Huan-ge; even cheating wouldn't guarantee such accuracy!]
Don't talk nonsense, if it's not off, it's on!?
Now you know why my brother Huan doesn't like playing Nidalee, right? It's not that he doesn't know how, it's just that winning with her in a match is too easy.
[That Q skill combo was amazing—Ah Shui, I know you're under the table, come out now!!!]
Faced with Lee Doo-hwan's flanking harassment from Nidalee, DWG members had no choice but to give up after taking several hits from Lee Doo-hwan's Q skill.
Watching the retreating DWG members, Roaring Emperor sighed with regret.
"Are they just going to give in like that? Then the pace will be very tight for DWG from now on."
The second dragon at just over eleven minutes means that if T1 goes smoothly, they will secure the Dragon Soul around the twenty-two-minute mark!
Just as Roaring Emperor predicted, the second Rift Herald spawned after a little over fourteen minutes.
T1 called everyone to the front to fight, and with the addition of the powerful Renekton, although they paid the price of two kills in the end, it was completely acceptable for T1.
And by securing the Rift Herald, it means that Renekton's mission in this game has been largely accomplished.
Using the second Rift Herald, T1 successfully destroyed DWG's first mid-lane tower.
After the first tower in the middle fell, a large area of vision suddenly went dark, and we didn't dare to push the middle lane across the river at all.
However, due to the female police officer's failure to establish a strong early-game tower-pushing rhythm, she also entered a classic period of weakness.
On the other hand, T1's poke composition, with its vision advantage, was in its element and easily secured the third dragon.
After securing the third dragon, DWG only had five minutes left to farm!
Five minutes is clearly not enough for Caitlyn, who failed to acquire a large number of tower plates in the early game to compensate for her lack of mid-game strength. In the end, DWG unfortunately lost the first game!
"Congratulations to T1 for taking the first game in this Summer Finals against DWG!"
The moment the match ended and DWG's base exploded, the roaring emperor's voice rang out.
"Actually, DWG's idea was good, but unfortunately the bot lane didn't achieve the desired effect!"
The main reason is that Imp handled the bot lane laning phase so well.
After Sun's Nidalee made a play in the top lane, Canyon's Hecarim also wanted to make a move, but found that their Caitlyn and Lux hadn't pushed the minion wave to the enemy tower.
When Gu Shengbin was mentioned, the Roaring Emperor's voice clearly carried a hint of confusion.
Gu Shengbin's laning phase was absolutely perfect; he was definitely a top-tier AD carry!
But as someone in the industry, he wasn't impressed by Gu Shengbin's outstanding performance; he was only confused!
Because he knew some of Imp's little habits during his daily training.
This is just imp without drinking or smoking.
If you smoke and drink —
I can't even imagine that!
"Imp handled the laning phase very well, but most importantly, Sun's Nidalee was absolutely perfect—"
"It's over!!!"
Yoon Soo-bin's excited voice was equally excited.
The voice sounded familiar.
Many LPL viewers who used VPNs or watched the match via other streamers couldn't help but picture Rita in their minds.
Yes, because of T1, or more precisely, whenever Lee Doo-hwan wins a match, Rita reacts like Yoon Soo-bin.
[Sister Ta's biggest love rival has arrived!]
Is it possible that my brother Huan has been drinking Yangnai for a while now, and you just don't know it?
If that's what you're saying, then I really can't accept it!
[This year's World Championship is in Shanghai, Tazi really needs to seize this opportunity!]
[That Huan Chu is so damn stingy! He's a four-time champion? What's wrong with giving him one?!]
After the first game ended, both sides took a short break to adjust.
During this period, DWG also discussed and prepared to change their tactical strategy.
After the first game, DWG's weakness in the bot lane, or more precisely, the lack of skill in the AD carry position, became very apparent!
The combination of the policewoman and Lux failed to gain any advantage against the Jhin and Leona.
They were even chased and beaten by the other party from time to time.
If the AD carries were swapped, Danny would be 100% confident in his draft lineup and would definitely win the first game against T1.
But there's nothing I can do; it's obviously impossible for all the good things to happen to me.
Since the bottom lane wasn't working, Dani had to find other solutions.
Therefore, in the second game, Danny planned to focus on playing the top laner Nuguri, who had a relatively good offensive style and mechanics.
Little did he know that his decision played right into T1's hands.
Because once the match started, DWG suddenly realized that none of the plans and strategies they had prepared for GimGoon were working!
This guy came in and didn't even farm the minions!
It's normal for top laners to be able to withstand pressure; it's a necessary skill for them.
But very few people actually go on a hunger strike!
If it were any other top laner being targeted like this, let alone whether they could stay calm and not give them a chance, even if they did, they would probably be silent in team fights.
Of course, being targeted like this by the opponent gives you a certain amount of legitimate right to win without lifting a finger.
But Kim Gong is different!
After being targeted like that, he was able to perform far better in team fights than he had been after being targeted, which is the most important thing and the main reason why Phoenix was able to beat IG last year.
Despite targeting the top lane and failing to find a way to counter them, and even finding the top lane still effective in team fights, DWG could only regretfully lose the second game.
