Chapter 74: That IG chapter is here.
"The most crucial player is Ning. As the jungler, he benefits the most from vision control in the early game. As the engine of the early game, his role is to make good use of vision to create the greatest advantage for the team."
Chen Song pointed to Ning's position: "In my opinion, Ning's ceiling is very high. After this practice with Nidalee, I also emphasized to him not to rely too much on his comfort zone. A good jungler always thinks about keeping the rhythm of the game firmly in his own hands. You see, he now knows to take the initiative to invade the enemy's blue buff area when he has an advantage."
"At this point in the game, there's nothing that can be done against Zhao Xin in the jungle. If this momentum continues, and they take the second Infernal Dragon, SN will have no way to deal with Nidalee's Q skill poke."
......
The game lasted 7 minutes and 52 seconds.
Before the mid-lane minions reached the tower, Weiwei, who had just finished clearing the red buff, set his sights on Baolan in the bottom lane, who didn't have Flash.
At this point, Maple had already circled around to IG's blue buff through the jungle, and their intention was clear: to target Baolan.
Forge in the mid lane has Ignite, TheShy in the top lane has TP and is on cooldown, and Ning is in the enemy's blue buff area. Facing a four-man gank, they have no chance of providing support to the bottom lane. Baolan has no Flash and after being slowed down by Yuumi, he has no hope of survival.
JackeyLove didn't hesitate. He turned around, sold Baolan, and used Flash to survive.
SN used their minion wave advantage to gank Baolan's two-man team and secure his kill.
Furthermore, Snake and Sima Laozei also ate a layer of the tower crust, which replenished their economy considerably.
But IG quickly retaliated.
After Ning switched to leopard form and jumped out of the dragon pit, he saw Zhao Xin about to enter the bush through the vision in the bottom lane tri-bush.
Baolan was already lying in ambush in the triangular bush. After Ning switched to human form, he used his Q skill to accurately control Zhao Xin, and then a javelin followed up and accurately pierced Zhao Xin.
Baolan's basic attack followed by his E skill, and Ning's cougar form pounced with an EQ combo, sealing Xin Zhao's fate.
That wasn't the end of it. Yuumi, who was riding on Xin Zhao, fell off and was killed by JackeyLove, who arrived in time. JackeyLove successfully secured the kill.
"After this kill, Ning is on fire!"
Miller glanced at Ning's data.
2-0-2, 68 CS, with such amazing stats, how can SN's squishy lineup withstand that?
"And look at the CS difference across the lanes. TheShy is already 20 CS ahead in the top lane, Forge is 15 CS ahead, and the bot lane is a whopping 30 CS ahead."
While the two commentators were giving their commentary, the director switched the camera to the top lane, where TheShy was pushing the lane and taking tower plates.
As for Ning and Forge, the map shows that the two brothers have already started fighting for Rift Herald.
SN clearly had no intention of letting go. Maple and Weiwe had already arrived first, with Maple even stealing Irelia's ultimate ability ahead of time.
A team battle is about to break out.
When the Rift Herald had less than 2,000 health left, Maple stepped forward and used Irelia's ultimate, followed by E to pull it onto Forge, while Weiwei's Xin Zhao focused his gaze on the Rift Herald.
It was a 2v3 situation, and both players, with inferior equipment, gave up their lives.
"I'm not even here yet, how dare you take on three of us?"
Biubiu glanced at it, then retreated and returned to the online platform.
After securing the Rift Herald, Ning and TheShy moved to the top lane.
After releasing the Rift Herald, Ning immediately returned to base to replenish his supplies, as the dragon was about to spawn.
After the first tower falls, take the dragon.
IG's performance in this game had a terrifying dominance reminiscent of their Spring Split performance.
At 11 minutes and 35 seconds, the economy led by 3,500.
This is everyone's impression of IG.
SN players' rest area.
After the Rift Herald ended, Chashao stopped struggling.
He had already foreseen the outcome.
He knew all too well just how strong that IG team was.
During the draft phase, he was full of confidence, thinking that giving Ning Nidalee was no different from feeding him.
Only ten minutes had passed when he was proven wrong.
Who exactly is saying Ning can't play Nidalee?
With such an outrageous counter-jungling rate, how can someone say they don't know how to play Nidalee?
We absolutely cannot let Nidalee through in the next game.
As for turning the tide this time, don't even dream about it.
With the upper, middle, and lower branches all in power, and the entire situation at a huge disadvantage, how can they turn the tide?
Originally, Kennen could still put up a fight in team fights once he reached the mid-game, but the problem is that with Kennen's current items, who can he even electrocute? Let alone enter the fray to electrocute, he'll probably die immediately after using his ultimate.
With the addition of Nidalee's ranged poke, one javelin throw is enough to take away almost half of her health.
If you let him shoot a few times, he'll be gone in no time.
With no way out, he had already started thinking about the draft picks for the next game.
After watching this match, the most excited people were undoubtedly the IG fans. For them, the old IG had returned.
Regardless of what happens in the next game, the execution they showed in this game is the kind of strength that peak IG should have.
The three lanes dominated the lanes, Ning's jungle play was phenomenal, and the game pace was fast-paced.
Under IG's offensive, SN's base crystal exploded at 22 minutes into the game.
After winning the game, IG had another classic moment. After TheShy got up, he took the initiative to shake hands with Ning, dispelling the rumors that they were at odds.
"Congratulations to IG for winning the first game of the BO3 series with an absolute crushing victory!"
The scene shifts to the players, and after seeing the handshake, Wawa exclaims, "The IG players must be itching to shout, 'We're back!' This is the IG we've been wanting to see."
"Regardless of anything else, what IG showed in this match is something that all LPL teams should learn from. Forge's vision control in the early game and Baolan's roaming are things that weaker teams should learn from stronger teams."
Miller became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Although IG had a slump in the first few games of the Summer Split, once they get used to it, you'll find that IG is still the same IG. The dominance and execution they show after getting an initiative in the laning phase is incredible."
"Especially TheShy's laning phase in the top lane; his Neeko dominated Biubiu the entire game."
The scene shifts to a post-match data comparison, where TheShy's Neeko dominates the field with 2 damage, while Biubiu's Kennen only deals around 7000 damage.
After this match, the issue of data damage is no longer the biggest concern for everyone.
They were even more eager to post on Weibo and Tieba and gossip about the gossip.
I'm announcing that the old IG is back.
TheShy (Neeko) rating: 9.9
2 damage dealt throughout the entire game, that's the world's best top laner! But why was 0.1 deducted? Because we didn't see a ranged champion fight a melee champion. Shy, you've regressed! (lol)
[When Chashao was drafting, he said that giving Ning Nidalee was no different from feeding him, and sure enough, he fed his own base.]
【Aaaaaaah, IG, you guys are finally awake! This dominance is reminiscent of S8! You finished in 22 minutes, I hope you can continue like this next game, and be the team that never works overtime (heart)】
