LOL: All-around champion, peak at debut

In this version, unless it is a single-lane lineup, it is impossible to win a team battle by relying on the advantage in the early stage without a front row.

Therefore, the hero Rek'Sai must cooperate with the single-lane lineup.

It just so happens that EDG does not know how to use the single-lane system.

This is where Lu Yun holds EDG.

For the first hero, EDG thought for a long time and still took [Xayah] first.

There is no way, if they don't take Xayah, then ANR will definitely take Xayah and Rakan.

ANR must take [Rakan] first in the first round, and then grab [Gragas].

Forcing the factory manager to use Rek'Sai.

In desperation, the factory manager could only lock [Rek'Sai] and then take [Kled].

"We must play single-lane in this game." The factory manager said in the microphone.

"A Guang, this game depends on you."

"Okay."

EDG decided to challenge its own weaknesses.

For the last hero of the first round, ANR took [Shen] to counter EDG's single-lane system.

"I knew they would choose Shen." The factory manager said with a smile.

"They fight in a team, and we play solo. How come it feels the other way around?" Meikou said.

"They are helping us improve ourselves. The World Championship is coming soon." Abu consoled.

After the first round of BP, the two sides had already set the tone.

In the second round, EDG blocked [Rat] and [Veros] in succession, limiting Lu Yun's performance.

And ANR restricted Xiaodi's heroes and blocked [Ryze] and [Taliyah], further limiting EDG's solo performance, making it difficult for Xiaodi to make a choice. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and choose Syndra.

The lineups of both sides were determined.

EDG [Blue Side]

Top [Kled], Jungle [Rek'Sai], Mid [Sindra], AD [Xayah], Support [Lulu]

ANR [Red Side]

Top [Shen], Jungle [Gragnard], Mid [Malzahar], AD [Tristana], Support [Rakan].

"In this game, both teams had decent lineups. I feel like ANR didn't give them too many designs, which was quite unexpected." Miller, the commentator, said this.

He rarely saw ANR make such BPs, without too many routines.

Is it really so?

Of course, there was a purpose for Lu Yun to let EDG get the hero Xayah.

The purpose was Tristana.

That's right, Tristana, in this era, is a counter to Xayah.

Because Xayah has a flaw, which is that her range is only 525. Once Tristana is not targeted in the early stage, Xayah will be very uncomfortable after the range increases.

The top Tristana will cross the opponent's front row in a teamfight, and take advantage of the long reach to find an opportunity to steal the opponent's Xayah.

Throughout S7, the winning rate of Xayah against Tristana is very low.

In a word, as long as EDG's bottom lane does not play an advantage, once Tristana develops, the teamfight damage will definitely not be able to compare with ANR.

After entering the game, both sides still did not choose to invade the jungle.

This time, Lu Yun did not play very aggressively, and began to develop steadily with Xayah.

Zz1tai's Rek'Sai is still very lethal in the early stage, and Lu Yun certainly will not go against the wind.

Lu Yun relied on the perfect control of the soldier line and the flexibility of his own heroes, Rakan + Tristana, and never gave Zz1tai's Rek'Sai any chance in the early stage.

Every time the vision disappeared, the soldier line just entered the balanced position in the middle lane.

Balance!

This is Lu Yun's style in this game.

"It seems that in this game, Brother Lu plans to develop for a long time, and it depends on Shen's first wave of rhythm." Miller said.

"I feel that the factory manager is still too afraid of Lu Yun's development ability. They EDG chose a Kled, and they should focus on the upper half, but the factory manager has been active in the lower half, which makes mouse's Kled very uncomfortable." Xiao Cang responded.

Just as Xiao Cang finished speaking, the two sides broke out in the first wave of confrontation.

The factory manager seized Xiye's positioning error and cooperated with Syndra in the middle lane to kill Malzahar who was about to reach level 6.

And Xiang Guo cooperated with Shen to kill Kled who pushed the line too deep.

After this wave of rhythm, the factory manager and Xiang Guo lived in the middle and top lanes respectively.

Malzahar was beaten 0-3, and Kled was beaten 0-3.

Xiye, who was 0-3, was not disappointed by the death. Instead, he couldn't help laughing: "If they play like this, how can we solo later?"

Lu Yun: "How can his Rek'Sai kill our bottom lane? He can only come to catch you. It doesn't matter. I'm developing. It's hard for them to fight in a group."

"He went around me from F6. I really couldn't do anything." Xiye said.

"They are like this."I'm going to lose 10-0 with this lineup, what's there to be afraid of!"

"That's why I'm more reckless, I'll be criticized by the coach again when I go back." Xiye said with a smile.

"Just have fun, this version depends too much on the lineup. "Lu Yun responded.

After a long development period, the ADs of both sides finally reached the 3-piece set and began to fight for the most critical earth dragon.

EDG relied on the early strength of the factory manager's Rek'Sai and cooperated with Syndra to take down an earth dragon and two water dragons.

ANR has been helping Shen on the top lane, so the number of small dragons is zero.

The two sides began to fight at the small dragon.

At this time, Tristana's advantage was immediately brought into play, using the cannon to start stealing the factory manager's Rek'Sai.

Rek'Sai, who was fighting the small dragon, realized how much Rek'Sai was restrained by Tristana.

He couldn't go up now, and he couldn't go up.

If he went up, Gragas would definitely use his ultimate to split their formation, causing Syndra to not be able to keep up with the output, and he would be killed instantly if he rushed in.

If he didn't go up, he would wait until the CD of the next Tristana's cannon was installed, and then he would be targeted. In a moment, it was impossible to win this teamfight.

Hesitation will lead to defeat. Just when his Rek'Sai was looking for an angle to flash EW Tristana, Gragas's ultimate skill blew him directly in front of Tristana.

Luo immediately followed up with flash R to charm EDG's back row, especially Xayah with three pieces.

Without the back row to keep up the output, the 3-0 Rek'Sai of Zhazi fell before he had time to exert his strength in the teamfight!

This is Rek'Sai!

Lu Yun had expected this to happen a long time ago. This hero is too useless in the mid-to-late game. Although the problem in that historic BO1 was not with Zhazi, if Zhazi had changed a hero, even a Gragas, that game would not have been lost.

But without Rek'Sai, EDG could not have played such a big advantage in the early stage.

To put it bluntly, the hero Rek'Sai is a self-contradictory hero.
