Alliance: Pick Ashe, Rita is broken

"Junzhi uses his ultimate to look at Baron. We'll approach from the middle lane. Be careful of your Frost ultimate to prevent it from being used."

Facing the pitch-black SKT red zone and dragon zone.

Faker tried his best to prevent his team from being ambushed by IG.

Especially when SKT reached the middle second tower.

Faker even began to command the SKT players to place blue trinket eyes in the F6 grass, the river grass in the middle lane, and the grass above the red BUFF, which were possible ambush positions for ambushing people from behind.

It's all just for safety.

After seeing EZ's ultimate move pass through the dragon pit.

When I didn’t see a single IG player.

Faker couldn't help but nodded.

Knew it.

IG just wants to force a team fight at the big dragon!

I'm afraid he's hiding in the lonely grass on the upper river channel right now!

How could I be fooled by such a childish scheme!

"Take the middle lane and put pressure on the opponent's middle tower!"

At this moment, SKT's mid, jungle, support and bot have already stepped into the ruins of SKT's middle tower.

Faker doesn't have to worry about the IG players cutting in from the red zone intersection at SKT's second tower or the river in the middle lane to cut off the four of them from returning.

As long as the IG members take action.

Those controlled blue decorative eyes can provide early warning.

Now Faker wants to make a move to push IG's middle lane and force IG, who are ambushing at the big dragon, to return to defense.

This way, SKT doesn't have to risk going to the upper river to investigate IG's movements.

Instead, they can mobilize all IG players to return to defense, and then turn around and go to the upper river to grab vision of the dragon area.

Thus avoiding IG's ambush.

"Back to the road!"

Just as Faker thought.

At this moment, Gao Peng was leading IG's mid, jungle and support cats in the isolated grass in the upper river.

Waiting for SKT's support Tam to come and provide vision.

I plan to use my ultimate skill to destroy the SKT protection point.

But Faker was very careful and did not give Gao Peng this opportunity.

Then Gao Peng had to change his strategy immediately.

Since you want to force my mid lane!

Then I will force your way up!

Let's see who is under more pressure!

Of course, Gao Peng can actually also command all the IG players to quickly kill the big dragon immediately.

But there is a risk.

As long as SKT reacts.

The distance from the middle lane to the dragon pit is extremely short.

The terrain of the dragon pit is also extremely cramped.

As long as the IG players fail to retreat in time, they will be hit by Faker's Clockwork ultimate.

Then the sky will fall and the earth will split!

"IG is giving up the middle tower for Baron! That's great! Trading a tower for a Baron is a great deal!"

Wawa, who was in the commentary booth, saw the two teams playing to this point.

Especially when IG saw SKT's mid, jungle, and support pushing the middle lane.

Immediately choose to turn around and move towards the dragon.

That was a round of applause.

But soon.

He was dumbfounded.

"No! IG didn't start the Baron! They're... heading to top lane! IG is going to push top lane! This... isn't profitable!"

"Indeed, the middle lane is short, and SKT's four players can immediately take the tower. IG also has to bring the troops from the middle lane to SKT's upper second tower to destroy it. Isn't this like giving up two of their own middle lane towers in exchange for SKT's one to take the second tower? What a loss!"

Commentator Miller also sounded a little anxious when he saw this.

This IG played a good game for 20 minutes.

Why did he start to mess up at the last moment?

This exchange is such a loss!

It’s Rita’s turn to explain.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu.

SKT's four players gathered together to destroy the tower...

hiss……

Were you in the bottom lane before?

"Gang leader has a big ultimate. This time, Gang leader used the big ultimate to clear the lane. SKT can't push forward..."

Rita caught that feeling.

I couldn't help but speak in confusion.

This is how IG solved the crisis of being pushed into the bottom lane before.

This wave seems to be no different.

Why are Wawa and Miller so nervous?

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Rita's words woke me up.

This is the first time that Gangplank has appeared in the top lane at this MSI.

Even in the 2017 LPL Spring Split, his appearance rate was only 3.8%.

This made Wawa and Miller subconsciously ignore the existence of Captain's ultimate move.

It's not just them.

Even Faker overlooked this point.

He didn't expect that.

His seemingly perfect operational strategy.

In fact, there is a fatal loophole in Captain's ultimate move!

"Brother, IG is going to play!"

SKT team voice chat.

Xiaohuasheng saw on the minimap that the IG mid, jungle, bottom and support players who had disappeared appeared from the upper river and went to the top lane.

Can't help but feel a little confused.

What was IG thinking? They didn't attack the big dragon, didn't return to defend, and went to the top lane?

Are you going to change homes?

The advantaged party changes homes.

This is a brain drain.

Hearing this, Faker's heart began to beat.

He knew very well that IG was very efficient in destroying towers or taking down dragons because of the presence of two ADs and Olaf.

But the middle route is short.

It is destined that the efficiency of switching from the wing to the center must be very poor.

It is very likely that IG had just brought the line to SKT's second tower.

His IG's own middle tower had already been pushed down.

But after this match, Faker also understood clearly.

IG's battlefield commander is not a fool.

There must be a reason why people do this.

Maybe Faker himself overlooked some key factors...

"Duke, R!"

Just as Faker was thinking.

IG team voice chat.

While Gao Peng was giving orders, he sent a signal to the middle lane.

For an instant.

The rumbling artillery fire immediately covered SKT's middle lane.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire immediately woke Faker up!

Faker finally realized it belatedly!

He actually overlooked such a crucial factor!

"Back to defense! Back to defense top lane!"

Watching SKT's mid lane soldiers being slowly devoured by Captain Duke's "Cannon Barrage".

Faker understands.

He is going to fall behind this time!

This wave of mid lane soldiers has not entered IG's first tower at all.

I just wanted Huni and Galio to TP to protect the soldiers and destroy the tower, but I couldn’t do it!

Apart from waiting another 30 seconds for the next wave of minions to come online, SKT had no chance of getting hold of IG's middle tower at all!

And this seems like a short 30 seconds.

It was enough for IG to push the troops from the top lane to SKT's top lane high ground!

Back to defense!

We must return to the top lane as soon as possible!

But at this moment.

All SKT players were enveloped by the "cannon curtain".

The 60% slowdown made it difficult for them to escape the bombardment range of the "Cannon Barrage".

When they struggled to run out of the bombardment area and successfully returned to the SKT fountain.

"Yourturrethasbeendestroied!"

Good news has come from the road.

IG has pushed down SKT's second tower!
