"It's clear that T1 is struggling with their choice of strong junglers!"
After T1 helped Lee Sang-hyeok pick Zoe in the fourth pick, they didn't lock in Lee Doo-hwan's jungler for the fifth pick.
Guan Zeyuan also sighed.
"There was no other way. When Top Esports picked three junglers in the first three picks, T1 should have picked a jungler for Sun in the first three picks."
But T1 didn't, so Top Esports directly sent two more junglers to the top lane in the second round of bans, and then the red side picked another one in the fourth round.
So when it comes to the T1 picks, you'll find there are no viable junglers.
"The heroes that Sun is using in this MSC China-Korea showdown have all been banned by Top Esports!"
Furthermore, Lee Sin, Diana, Elise, Xin Zhao, and Jarvan IV are five champions that Sun frequently used in the LCK Spring Split.
"In other words—" He didn't finish his sentence.
"In other words, Sun has no heroes left to use."
"Of course, it's not that he doesn't have any, it's just that he doesn't have any of the skills he's good at." Guan Zeyuan took over the conversation.
"If you frequently watch the LCK league, you'll know that these five champions are basically Sun's..."
All the junglers I used in the LCK Spring Split.
Oh, and there's Olaf too, but Olaf clearly doesn't fit into a Tier 1 lineup!
Since T1 has not locked in a jungler yet, the camera naturally keeps focusing on T1's side from the players' perspective. I thought that Lee Doo-hwan was being targeted so much that he didn't even know what jungler to choose, and he should be looking worried right now.
Unexpectedly, when the camera focused on T1, everyone noticed that Lee Sang-hyeok was actually smiling.
To be precise, he was smiling while looking at Lee Doo-hwan.
The smile had a hint of schadenfreude, but it also seemed to be mixed with other emotions.
For example----
Let's see what you do now!!!
-
Lee Doo-hwan also wore a helpless smile.
This scene was deeply etched into everyone's memory.
【Seriously, Huanchu doesn't even have a jungler anymore, and he still has the nerve to laugh here?】
This is the luckiest champion in history; once targeted by the opponent, they're finished!
[Here's a joke: The only four-time world champion in League of Legends, when his jungler was banned five times by the opponent, didn't know what to do next.]
[Press 1 to receive good fortune in your career!]
【1111! 】
[Hateners, stop yelling. You can doubt Huan-ge's character, but you can't doubt his attitude towards the game, which naturally includes his hero pool!]
[Just stick to your 'lump of meat' game and cling to your Korean daddy's coattails!]
Just when everyone thought that Lee Doo-hwan had no skilled heroes to use and could only rely on that lump of meat to get by...
On the fifth floor of T1, a profile picture frame flashed, and an unexpected hero appeared.
"Wildness will instill fear in them!!!"
"Leopard Woman!?"
"This champion has been played by quite a few people in this MSC China-Korea showdown, but Sun hasn't played her at all, not even back in Season 6 when Nidalee was at her peak!"
Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Ji De replied in a flippant tone.
"It seems like he's just showing off for fun. Everyone knows that Sun's weakest jungle carry is Nidalee!"
But just as he finished speaking, the avatar frame on the fifth floor of T1 flashed, and the leopard girl had already locked onto it!
"Locked on, it's Nidalee!!!"
Guan Zeyuan's exclamation rang out.
As Nidalee locked on, there was someone even more excited than him.
That's Lee Jae-wan from Wlof, who's currently providing live commentary on the final match between China and South Korea!
To be precise, it was an overwhelming sense of awe!
As the leopard girl locked on, Lee Jae-wan, who had just been yelling in the live stream, "Top Esports is digging their own grave by targeting Doo-hwan!" suddenly fell silent.
Furthermore, his expression was more solemn than ever before, a stark contrast to the man who had been shouting and yelling wildly, seemingly mentally unstable.
That wasn't all. The moment T1 locked in Nidalee as their fifth pick, Wof|Lee Jae-wan somehow ended up wearing his old SKT jersey.
Immediately afterwards, in front of everyone in the live stream, he solemnly and dignifiedly faced the leopard woman on the screen.
To be precise, he faced the ID below the leopard woman—SUN, slowly raised his right hand, saluted, and even shouted out those two words.
"loyalty!!!"
This scene left the viewers in the live stream completely dumbfounded.
[Damn it, the streamer's mental illness has flared up again! Everyone, call the hospital right now!]
Wait a minute, it's just a leopard woman, why are you acting like this!?
[By the way, does Doo-hwan hyung know how to play Nidalee? I don't think I've ever seen him play her before!]
[Dou Huan, the four-time champion, can do anything!? The reason he doesn't play is because the opponents aren't worthy!]
[Who dares to speak ill of my Dou Huan-ge? Do they really think our Han-shi Huan-xiao is a pushover?!]
[Brothers, if anyone dares to speak ill of Brother Dou Huan again, deal with him offline. We can't let this young general from China look down on us!]
The people in the live stream were very confused, wondering why Lee Jae-wan's reaction was so strong.
Just moments ago, he was spreading rumors and claiming to be mentally unstable, but suddenly he acted as if he had just woken up from a dream and realized that he was who he was.
Looking at the comments, Lee Jae-wan of WoIf spoke with unprecedented seriousness.
"You are not part of SKT, so there are some things you naturally wouldn't understand."
Let me tell you, our last trump card in SKT was never that guy Jun-sik!
Doo-hwan's jungle carry play is SKT's last trump card!!!
Of course, the most bewildered person at this moment was Top Esports' coach, White Crescent. As one of the many imposters in the LPL, although his skill level wasn't great, he still prepared a lot overnight for today's match.
For example, copying someone else's draft picks, or simply noting down the heroes used by the opponent's five players.
However, there was no information about the leopard woman in this record.
So, this completely stumped the white crescent moon.
"White Sect, what am I supposed to do?"
Staring at the white crescent moon that remained silent for a long time, 369 couldn't help but ask a question.
"You—you play with the crocodile!" White Crescent thought for a moment and finally made a decision.
Originally, he planned to get Sion for 369 after Lee Doo-hwan had no heroes to play in the fifth hero rotation, so that the two tanks in the top lane could just farm together.
But who knew, he actually pulled out a leopard woman!
If it's Nidalee, then 369 obviously can't play the kind of champion that's easy to carry; he needs to pick some strong champions in lane to prevent Karsa's jungle from being completely overrun by Nidalee.
Although we don't know how well Lee Doo-hwan plays Nidalee, as the only four-time champion in League of Legends, it's always good to be cautious!
Although White Crescent, as the coach, is not good at drafting and banning, there is one thing he is very clear about.
That means that since the other party was able to become a four-time champion, it must not be because of some online rumors that he simply had a booming career and was just lucky.
When Top Esports picked Renekton for 369 as their fifth pick, the lineups of both teams were revealed to the public.
Top Esports' top laner is Renekton, jungler is Trundle, mid laner is Corki, and bot lane consists of Ezreal and Karma.
T1's top laner is Ornn, jungler is Nidalee, mid laner is Zoe, and bot laner is Varus and Rakan.
"To be honest, Sun's Nidalee pick really surprised me."
Because he rarely played this type of jungle carry during his professional career.
While the two teams were entering the game, Guan Zeyuan muttered something to himself.
"And most importantly, Top Esports' lineup is almost a zero-initiation lineup."
Although they switched to jungling five times, it limited Sun's hero selection for the jungling position!
Similarly, the five-man jungler strategy also limits Karsa's champion pool.
In contrast, T1 opted for a pure poke composition, with their mid, jungle, and AD carry harassing the enemy before team fights, and then Ornn and Rakan looking for opportunities to initiate the fight once the pressure was low.
"In other words, Top Esports absolutely cannot let T1 pull them back in this game, otherwise they'll have a very difficult time in team fights."
'
Upon hearing this, many Top Esports fans were immediately delighted.
Those who know what Colonel Guan is talking about understand!
soon.
Both sides enter the game.
Since it was the first game and the lineups were similar, neither side thought about anything else at level one. They simply positioned themselves in the river and provided vision.
Neither side intended to engage in a level 1 team fight, and both junglers started in the lower jungle.
If they continue to climb like this, it will be more beneficial for Top Esports, since 369 in the top lane is playing Renekton this game, and he can slightly pressure Ornn.
Guan Zeyuan wouldn't dare to be so absolute, after all, in the documentary released by Top Esports this year, 369, in the post-match review of last year's Intercontinental Cup against DWG, very confidently discussed the essence of kiting with coach White Crescent!
Both sides started clearing the jungle normally at level one, but their approaches were slightly different.
After the red buff refreshed, Lee Doo-hwan reminded Koo Sung-bin and Lee Sang-ho to help him attack a few more times.
The T1 members naturally treated Lee Doo-hwan's orders as gospel.
Of course, Gu Shengbin's Varus only attacked a few times and used a skill before leaving, while Lee Sangho's Rakan helped out by fighting for a while longer.
This scene made Guan Zeyuan exclaim in confusion, "Luo is helping Nidalee jungle, but it seems like he's going back a bit late. He might lose experience when he gets back to the bottom lane!"
"There's no way around it, after all, Nidalee is a jungle carry, so we definitely have to take extra care of her." Ji De said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Not only the commentators, but even the people in the live stream were mocking them relentlessly.
[It has to be my Huan-ge! This treatment!!!]
[Huan Xiaojiang can brag about this? Isn't this just sacrificing his online experience for his own enjoyment?!]
[Please be understanding. A four-time world champion jungler who can't play Nidalee, what's wrong with his teammates helping him out?]
Honestly, I could do this myself!
[I said Huan Chu was the luckiest player, and Huan Xiaojiang still disagrees. Just look at all of Huan Chu's teammates from previous seasons, and you'll see that not a single one of them was bad!]
[Indeed, but even so, they've only won four S-rank championships. Let's not even talk about the mediocre ones!]
Actually, there was a reason why Lee Doo-hwan asked Lee Sang-ho's Lok-do to help him fight a couple of times: he wanted to invade.
If Nidalee doesn't invade the enemy jungle when facing Trundle, what's the difference between her and a salted fish?
"Sun's Nidalee reached level two after getting the red buff. I have to say, with his teammates' help, his jungle clearing speed increased significantly!" Remember said sarcastically.
"But—wait a minute!" Guan Zeyuan suddenly shouted, looking at the leopard woman on the big screen who hadn't gone to farm the stone golems or the six birds, but was instead heading towards the dragon pit.
"What is Sun trying to do?"
As they were talking, the leopard woman on the big screen jumped into the dragon pit.
"Could he be planning to gank bot at level 2?" Remembering the scene of Lee Doo-hwan ganking top at level 2 during the T1 vs. IG match the day before yesterday, I made this guess.
"It seems there really is such a possibility—"
Wait a minute!!!
He wasn't trying to gank bot lane at level two; he wanted to invade Top Esports' jungle at level two!
"He did this because there was a view of the river."
Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Ji Gu immediately followed up with a speech.
But he fell silent halfway through his sentence.
From a God's-eye view, there are no Topsports signals on the minimap.
In other words, Lee Doo-hwan perfectly bypassed the river vision system that Top Esports had built!
"Damn it, Top Esports doesn't seem to have seen Sun's Nidalee—" Remember wasn't as optimistic as before, and he wasn't in the mood for being sarcastic anymore.
From God's perspective, everyone could see Nidalee stride forward into Top Esports' lower map, following the opening where the Blue Buff connects to the river.
Immediately after glancing at the empty Blue Buff, he threw a Q skill directly at the Toad.
"puff!!!"
The spear struck the enemy, and the hunting mark lit up on the troll's head!
"Damn it, a Q skill hit through blind vision!" Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened when he saw this.
Under his watchful gaze, the leopard woman switched forms and pounced directly at the troll.
Although Karsa reacted quickly, controlling Trundle to auto-attack and then use Smite to take down the Gromp the moment he was hit by Nidalee's Q, it was useless because the two camps of jungle monsters couldn't reach level three. Even if you have more experience than Nidalee, you can only be a decoration.
Most importantly, the Karsa Troll is currently in a skill cooldown period!
The W skill had just ended, and the Q skill had already bitten the toad.
Furthermore, he was wearing a blue domineering outfit, while Lee Doo-hwan was wearing a red domineering outfit, so their combat power was naturally not on the same level.
After the player controlled Nidalee to pounce and bite hard with her Q skill, Lee Doo-hwan chased after Karsa's Trundle and attacked him!
"This Nidalee invaded my jungle at level two!!!"
Karsa muttered to himself in frustration as he controlled the troll to escape towards the bottom lane's second turret.
He had anticipated that the leopard woman might invade, but he thought it would have to be at least level three. He never expected that a level two leopard woman would come!
Because Lee Doo-hwan's talent is Conqueror, when combined with the burning effect of Red Dominator, the more he attacks, the more damage he inflicts.
After controlling Nidalee to chase and auto-attack the Trundle twice, Lee Doo-hwan switched forms and unleashed another Q skill.
"puff!!!"
The hunting mark appeared once again on the troll's head!
"Damn it, that Q skill hit again, Karsa has to use Flash, otherwise he might die!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed. Looking at his own health bar and then at the Nidalee who had already stacked Conqueror, Karsa had no choice but to use his Flash and control the Trundle to run towards the bottom lane's second tower.
There's a saying in the martial arts world: if you exchange blows, you won't be killed!
So Lee Doo-hwan didn't force a chase, but casually set up a trap and controlled the leopard girl to head towards the three wolves of Top Esports.
"Sun's play is way too aggressive!" Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Nidalee counter-jungling and the Troll Warlord recalling to base.
"No wonder Luo would help him get more experience even if he lost some when he logged in; he was prepared to reach level two from the start."
"To be honest, Top Esports shouldn't have done this. They should have given them a heads-up when Luo was online so late!" Remember said with great regret.
Perhaps it was because Rita was so loyal to Lee Doo-hwan, yet Lee Doo-hwan didn't cherish her, that he would feel the same way in the future. This reminded him of how good he was to Luo Xin, and how she took him for granted and treated him like a lapdog.
So if you're going to be a total simp, remember to be a little sharp-tongued when you speak!
"The main reason is that Sun's circumvention of Top Esports' vision in the river was too good, which Top Esports didn't expect at all."
That would be a bit tough for Casa.
Not only were they hit by a flash, but they also lost a group of three wolves —
As Guan Zeyuan was speaking, he noticed that Nidalee, having finished stealing the three wolves, was simply swaggering between the two mid-lane turrets of Top Esports, clearly heading towards Top Esports' top jungle. "Wait, Sun, what are you trying to do?!"
This scene made Guan Zeyuan raise his voice again.
"That's a bit too much! How can you play games like that?!"
Seeing Nidalee so brazenly invading his own top jungle, Karsa, who had gone back to base to replenish his health and prepare to control Trundle to farm the top jungle, was completely dumbfounded.
Karsa is known to be a map-control-oriented jungler, and is jokingly referred to as "Radar Bro" by many fans.
When he's ahead, he can make you feel hopeless and suffocated, but he's not particularly good at playing jungle carries.
However, now that they're facing Lee Doo-hwan's thuggish fighting style, they're finding it hard to stand it for a while.
He remembered that other junglers would either gank whenever possible or focus on farming jungle camps, waiting for the right moment to take over the game!
Why is the enemy jungler not playing by the rules? Don't you farm the jungle?
"69, you need to come and help me!" Casa sent a distress signal to 369.
The main reason is that Nidalee has Bloodthirster and Flash, giving her a lot of room for maneuver. If she can't win, she can Flash away. But Karsa's Trundle can't do that. He doesn't have Flash, and if he's not careful, he could die.
"OK!"
Upon hearing Casa's plea for help, 369 naturally did not hesitate to respond.
After all, we're a team. If you don't speak up for the jungler when they're in trouble, the next ones to suffer will be the laners!
So after responding, 369 pushed the minion wave and then controlled the Renekton to walk towards his own upper jungle.
"369's crocodile is pushing the lane and coming to support, so Sun should have to leave, because Faker can't get here!"
However, just as Guan Zeyuan was saying this, everyone noticed that Jin Zhangdong's Ornn in the top lane completely ignored the pushed minion wave and decisively followed behind 369's Renekton, heading towards Top Esports' upper jungle with him!
