Chapter 638 The Second Victory
October 4th is the second match day of the group stage.
Today KT played in the third game against Europe's third seed RGE.
In this game, under the opponent's crazy BP, Lin Cheng took out the captain as an early development point, paired with the czar in the middle.
KT, who is accustomed to leading the rhythm in the middle and jungle, rarely selects two more developed heroes in the middle and top. Only the jungle prince counts as a rhythm point.
KT's AD in the bottom lane is an EZ, and its early combat ability is also very weak. The three lines need a certain amount of development.
To be honest, the lineup of the opponent RGE is a bit weird. The ball-dripping system of Clockwork and Centaur is also reasonable, and Captain Rezter on the top seems to be reasonable.
But Clockwork Garrez feels weird in the same lineup.
However, it is true that the top, middle and jungle are very capable in the late stage, and RGE's bottom lane is a combination of Pansen and Kalista, which can make up for the early weakness of the two AP heroes in the top and middle.
Overall, although RGE's lineup is a little weird, it has Panson and Skateboards in the bot lane in the early stage to set the pace. In the later stage, there are two magic cores, and there is cooperation between the heroes. The lineup seems to be pretty good.
The audience has begun to look forward to the revival of the European big brothers. Let's see if this unconventional lineup can overthrow KT.
This game needs development in the early stage, and KT's rhythm is finally not as fast as it was against JD yesterday.
On the contrary, RGE took advantage of the strength of the bottom duo to launch the attack first.
In 3 minutes, the troops cooperated with Panson's initiative and successfully allowed Kalista to get the first blood of the Japanese girl.
But KT quickly returned the favor.
On the road, Ryze pressed the captain's line, and Lin Cheng won.
Generally speaking, Lin Cheng is rarely pressed, but as long as the opponent dares to press his line, he dares to move!
Just so domineering!
After all, Brother Cheng's position in the team is here. As long as he calls Bo no, he will basically come.
Even if there is a captain who is difficult to cooperate with online.
The prince came up and played Ryze's flash, but Ryze huddled back and waited for a while before coming back online.
As a result, he didn't expect Bono to wait for half a minute and didn't leave at all. He finally managed to get the captain to take the head.
Soon, Pan Sen took the initiative again.
I don't know if Xiao Yang ate too much fried food yesterday, or Tusin was not in good condition today, and he had a one-centimeter flash when he ran away.
Kalista once again took the head of a Japanese girl.
KT's bottom lane was a bit bad in this game.
But despite this, the resources on the court are still under KT's control.
Because the top laner had a TP difference, Bono was very decisive in attacking Xiaolong after he clicked the divination flower in Lin Cheng's jungle area to reveal his troops.
The RGE duo also wanted to use their lane rights to harass the dragon-defying prince, but Lin Cheng used a big move in the top half to block the two retreating positions in the river.
The Japanese girl who was assisting Tu private had already rushed over from the line. The prince let go of the dragon and successfully forced out the duo's flash.
Taking away the first dragon and using a captain's ultimate move for two flashes. Although KT seemed to have no economic advantage on the field, it controlled the rhythm very well.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Cheng buried a bucket in the grass on the top road and crippled Ryze with a sneak attack, allowing Bono to control the vanguard.
RGE refused to accept it and immediately attacked the bottom lane after the opponent sent the vanguard, and the Japanese girl died again.
KT did not disrupt its own rhythm because of the opponent's rhythm. It still stood steadily and developed, waiting for the arrival of its power period.
Because of the passivity of the vanguard and captain, KT still had some economic advantages even though they were two players behind in the early stage.
The two sides fought against the second dragon in the dragon pit. Captain Lin Cheng was not present either. A big move sealed the river and allowed Bono to successfully capture the dragon.
In fact, RGE's duo played very smoothly in the bottom lane in the early stage, but inexplicably because of the captain's TP advantage and ultimate move in the top lane, RGE couldn't control a single dragon.
RGE is a typical example of all thunder and no rain.
It looked like a lively fight and they had a head advantage, but they couldn't get any resources, and the rhythm of the scene was still in KT's hands.
Even the audience could see that RGE could only catch and kill the living girl through GANK, but several times after the team gathered, they were either forced to retreat by the captain's ultimate move, or they were consumed by the continuous barrels and EZ Czar.
Once the state was over, all the RGE pilots were frightened when they saw the tsar and prince on the opposite side pressing forward as if they were ready to start a group.
In this kind of pulling and pulling, KT has always taken advantage, and RGE has been completely led by the nose.
You must know that RGE still has Pantheon and Kalista who are very strong in the early stage, and Clockwerk is not weak in the early and mid-term when paired with troops. However, the output of KT's three C positions in the early stage without equipment seems to be lower.
However, even so, KT still firmly controlled the rhythm.
After the third dragon was refreshed, KT already had good frontal combat capabilities. The EZ two-piece set was formed. Lin Cheng's captain also made a three-piece blue-sucking two-piece set because of the first blood tower.
In this wave of team battles, KT changed its previous strategy of pulling the dragon, and the prince directly entered the field to start the team battle.
Lin Cheng's captain did not zoom in immediately, and waited until his teammates started a team battle before dividing the battlefield.
Clockwork and Ryze were separated in the back, and there was no way to bypass the captain's ultimate move. As a result, KT instantly killed Kalista head-on.
Although the Centaur's ultimate move frightened the three of them, no one was able to compensate for the output, which led to the collapse of the RGE team battle. Clockwork and Ryze sold their teammates and ran away.
After this wave, KT already had a big advantage.
It was not because of the huge economic gap, but because the teamfight cooperation between the two sides was not at the same level at all.
Lin Cheng's Captain's ultimate move could split the battlefield every time, making it difficult for the opponent's C position to find a position to output. In several consecutive waves, RGE almost did not have the opportunity for all members to have output space.
KT was still not anxious, and was ready to give the opponent a fatal blow in their own dragon soul teamfight.
RGE finally played a cooperative move in desperation. Centaur forced the ball to break up KT's formation, and Clockwork's ultimate move pulled three people.
However, Clockwork's ultimate move only knocked down the blood of three people on KT's side.
The commentator even discovered at this time that the new European Mage Larsson's outfit was very strange.
In LPL and LCK, many Clockworks first item is Luden, so when there are more than one, they have good combat power, but European mid-laners are used to first buying Seraphim.
Larsson chose Seraphim as the first item, not to mention that Clockwork's second item was Holy Grail, and the third item was prepared to be a Censer.
The Clockwork of the Censer and Holy Grail refreshed the audience's cognition.
This is much more outrageous than Xiaohu's three-piece set!
If Xiaohu had played like this, he would probably be criticized to the point of retirement.
Although RGE's lineup has Ryze to supplement the output, it is really hard to understand that Clockwork is just a tool to assist Kalista.
The result of being hard to understand is that although Clockwork pulled three RGE team battles, they still ushered in a rout and were directly wiped out by KT.
KT took the big dragon and started to operate steadily after the whole wave.
RGE's bottom lane and jungler themselves have little output in the late game, and Clockwork's behavior is simply torturing teammates. In the last team battle where KT ended the game, Larson even only dealt 36 damage.
In this way, although KT chose a lineup that they did not use very often, they still steadily controlled the rhythm of the whole game and won the second victory of the group stage.
In fact, they not only controlled the rhythm on the field, but also controlled the opponent's equipment.
Larson's equipment cannot be made without some understanding of the game.
