Chapter 557: Banning the previous game heroes
The name mentioned most often by the commentators was Xu Mo. In fact, he is the player with the best performance in this season's games.
"I used to think that Top Esports was pretty good, but they lost so badly against you guys in this spring season. I thought they could turn the tables."
"You have played against Xu Mo and probably know why EDG can bring such a high tempo. In addition to his operation, it is also because of Xu Mo's ability to analyze the game and his command."
"Is Xu Mo the commander of the entire team?"
"Well, he has always been the captain. The factory manager hardly participates and is only with Xu Mo and the others during training."
"It's not hard to understand. Think about it, why does a master of operation have such high ability? Is it just because of his proficiency in this hero?"
"Of course not. It's because he has a good awareness of all aspects and can accurately predict the opponent's attack methods, so he can create a rhythm. Since his thinking and ideas are so active, his command ability as a captain is beyond doubt."
"Your analysis is a bit far-fetched. Being a captain is not something that can be done simply by having the ability. One must have the talent for this."
"I don't need to think to know that the reason why Xu Mo can become the captain is because his operation can conquer all the players in the e-sports club."
"That's about right. With Xu Mo's control ability, it's possible for him to go out and lead the team alone, but Xu Mo has never had this idea and has always wanted to stay here."
"You don't understand this, but I do. Xu Mo doesn't want to have so much trouble, so he just needs to participate in a competition and give orders casually. There are so many things to do when leading a team. It's not as easy as it is now."
"You are quite extreme. Let's see what kind of rhythm Xu Mo can bring out in the third game."
After a brief exchange, they returned to the game scene again. Duoduo said: "Welcome everyone back to the game scene. Now let's take a look at the confrontation between EDG and Top Esports. EDG won the first two games in a row. The third game will be a chance for Top Esports to turn things around. Will it be the moment for EDG to win or the moment for Top Esports to turn things around? Let's go into the third game and see their wonderful performance."
"Tao Bo!"
"EDG is the strongest and invincible!"
The slogans of fans from both sides were particularly loud, and the third match began with everyone's cheers.
Baolan said: "I really want to know. Xu Mo's Judgment Angel played very well in the last game. Will they choose to ban Judgment in this match?"
"It's possible that this might release Sean."
The BP phase has not started yet, and no one knows whether Sion will be released in this match. Will the opponent's ban phase target the confrontation lane again?
As everyone guessed, the first hero to be banned in the ban phase was the Frost Witch in the middle lane.
Baolan said: "This hero was banned. Is it because my Ice Girl's control ability is too strong?"
Xu Mo said: "Frost Witch has super strong control skills. She can play a very high level of cooperation in team battles. She is a dual control mage. Even if the opponent's economy is suppressed, her ultimate and W skills can still play a control effect. It is not surprising that they banned this hero."
Xu Mo felt that it was inevitable that the Ice Girl would be banned because her team battle ability was too strong. The second hero banned by the opponent was the Judgement Angel.
"Well, I was right, wasn't I? Judgment Angel is one of the heroes they banned."
"There's no need to guess when banning this hero. Xu Mo played so well in the last game. Will they still give Xu Mo a chance to choose?"
"I don't think Mo Shen played badly in any game. I think he played beautifully in every game. Whether he lost or won, he would never be suppressed in the confrontation lane."
"That's why Mo Shen is called the God of War in the confrontation lane. His performance in the confrontation lane is almost unmatched."
"If the opponent wants to set the pace, all other heroes in the lane must be suppressed. It's not impossible to play in this state. The EDG team has lost several games this season."
In the last game, we banned two players in a row. Didn’t the opponent take the previous status into consideration?
Xu Mo released three heroes with some confusion, "All the heroes that were banned in the last game have been released."
"Doesn't this give us the opportunity to choose the confrontation lane?"
The third one they banned was Leviathan Priest, as this hero’s burst ability in the confrontation lane was too strong.
The Sea Beast Priest has an advantage in team battles, but if his performance cannot be restricted, he will be at a disadvantage in team battles and will not be able to engage in close combat with the opponent. After much deliberation, they decided to ban this hero.
The three heroes that EDG chose to ban were Twisted Fate, Caitlyn, and Aphelios.
Duoduo said: "Through the ban phase, we can see that the opponent's ban phase is relatively cautious. The Ice Maiden hero was banned to limit the opponent's team battle ability. The Judgement Angel hero was also banned. The Judgement Angel's ultimate move is indeed very powerful and not every hero can achieve this state."
"The last one to be banned is the Sea Beast Priest, who is also a hero with strong team-opening ability."
What hero Xu Mo chooses in this match also depends on the opponent's choice. The opponent picked AD Lucian in the bottom lane. Lucian is more flexible and has high burst, and can also limit the choice of the confrontation lane.
A Shui chose the Spear of Vengeance and Rita's Stone Man combination, which can produce double control. This is not the first time this combination has appeared.
The opponent's combination hero is Minotaur, and they also chose a hard support hero.
The mid lane Nine-Tailed Fox is against the Lang Mage, and the jungle Zhao Xin is against the Swordmaster. What everyone is most looking forward to is the choice of the confrontation lane.
Xu Mo chose Riven, and the opponent chose Fiora. There is no question of restraint between these two heroes. It mainly depends on their operating status and their own performance.
Both sides chose stable operations when they were online, and there was no interference in the fight between the two sides. The Minotaur was consumed by A Shui because the opponent's auxiliary was too close.
"Isn't the advantage of Spear of Vengeance enough to consume the opponent's Minotaur?"
The Holy Lance Ranger only cares about the minion line. He cannot be suppressed and assisted by the opponent on the minion line in the early stage. It doesn't matter if he takes a little damage. He will fight the opponent again after his skills come out. If he finds a chance, he will also attack the stone man to reduce the opponent's blood volume.
The factory manager said: "Being forced into a desperate situation may lead to exceptional performance. This match is the most important. Let's see how Top Esports can perform. They have a good lineup."
The commentator also felt that the opponent had the ability to fight. First of all, the bottom lane combination of Alistar and Lucian was no problem at all. The hero Alistar had control skills, and his guarding state was very powerful, which could help teammates increase their health.
The mid laner chooses the Rogue Mage, whose ability in the late game is very powerful. As long as the top lane Fiora can hold its ground and the jungle Blademaster doesn't give Xin Zhao too many chances, they can win the game.
You know the ability of the confrontation lane, so you have to be extra careful when using Fiora. Everyone can see that the opponent is particularly despicable in the early stage when consuming soldiers.
"This style of play in the confrontation lane is to avoid giving Xu Mo a chance to lose health. Sooner or later, the two of them will collide. No matter who starts the fight first, it is certain. It is impossible to keep playing in such a wretched way."
"Mo Shen's operational ability is too strong. We suppressed him in the first two matches. He must have been traumatized by the third match. He was afraid of being suppressed by Xu Mo, so he chose to be insignificant to develop."
When Fiora saw the low-health soldiers, she used her skills to consume them, and then quickly distanced herself from Xu Mo. This style of play made her more stable in the early stages.
At level 3, the Sword Master came to interfere with the confrontation lane. Ning Wang said, "This duel will not target our confrontation lane, right?"
Baolan said: "It is very likely that they will target the confrontation lane. Xu Mo performs so well in every game, it would be strange if they don't target him."
The level 3 Sword Master came over to deal damage, but it was just a wave of consumption, giving the ships and aircraft an advantage in terms of health.
Zhao Xin went to the middle lane, trying to suppress Langhua. Langhua was very despicable in the early stage. He was developing and did not confront the opponent head-on. Nine-tailed Fox's long arms and wingspan still gave him an advantage.
"Their mage played very dirty, always controlling the line of soldiers in front of the defensive tower to last hit, which was more stable in the early stage."
Even his slow development couldn't stop Ning Wang. There would always be heroes who would give him opportunities. Top Esports played so steadily in the early stages, so it was conceivable how much importance their team attached to the third match.
Xu Mo did not suppress the opponent. He also chose to control the line of troops in the middle position, trying not to give Juggernaut the opportunity to set the pace. The accelerated movement and burst of Juggernaut's ultimate skill are very suitable for playing the C position. When the opponent's jungler's damage comes out, the support state also comes out.
Dai Mei said: "Sister Zhou, please help me, there is something wrong with my microphone."
"Well, I'm here, go adjust the microphone."
At the critical moment, the third match was the game that everyone was paying more attention to, but Dai Mei'er's microphone had problems.
It seems that it is not a debugging problem, but a broken one. "Please help me change the microphone."
The staff immediately took a new microphone and said, "Just a small interlude, let's continue to watch EDG's performance."
"What's wrong with Dai Mei? Why aren't you talking?"
"There's a problem with his microphone. Please wait a moment."
When Fiora seized the weakness and rushed forward to consume the enemy, Riven immediately counterattacked. One has to admire Xu Mo's reaction speed, which was too fast. Everyone watching this scene was especially surprised by the audience at the scene.
"Six six six!"
"Seeing that there is no Mo Shen, this is called reaction speed, the attack was very timely."
Xu Mo's operation took away more than half of the opponent's health. If the Sword Saint hadn't come over, the first drop of blood would have belonged to Xu Mo. King Ning also changed his mind and said, "Why don't you fight? Do you know that I am squatting here?"
Xu Mo said: "It's a pity that I almost took him down. The Sword Master's reaction speed is quite fast."
Xu Mo pulled over here. He probably guessed that King Ning was in the bushes, so he didn't continue chasing him. The health of the two heroes in the confrontation lane was not good, so he chose to return to the city for supplies.
"If you didn't provide support in time, I would have been killed."
"When setting the pace, consider your own health status. Seizing an opportunity does not mean you can kill the opponent in one second."
"I'm so sorry, there was something wrong with my microphone just now."
Dai Mei'er has returned. It's a pity that he didn't see so many rhythms. "The anchor's microphone is too weak. There was a problem at the critical moment. I will mail a better equipment to the anchor."
"Thank you for your support, it's just a small episode."
Twenty-two minutes into the game, both teams had similar scores, and Top Esports played really steadily in this game.
They seized the opportunity to suppress the opponent many times. Xu Mo in the confrontation lane was too cautious and not very good. They also broke out against the mid laner Lang Mage. The economic difference between the two sides was almost the same, but the carry status of the Juggernaut was always very good.
Rita said: "It seems that our economy is not much different. In fact, the middle and bottom lanes are at a disadvantage. Only Xu Mo's lane has some advantages. Isn't the rhythm of the swordsman too strong?"
The opponent's Swordmaster launched two attacks that took the opponent by surprise, and launched a sneak attack when the two sides started a team fight in the bottom lane. He used the advantage of his ultimate skill to quickly attack and lock on the Spear of Vengeance to set the pace.
When the opponent gained the advantage, Xu Mo destroyed the confrontation road. It was not easy to reverse this advantage.
"Their tower defense ability is already very strong. The tower in the confrontation lane was just destroyed in the 22-minute duel. Overall, EDG's economy is not much different from the opponent, but they have not played out many states. If the advantages of the bottom and middle lanes are not enough, will they suffer some disadvantages in team battles?"
Duoduo analyzed that EDG team was not easy to play in the later stage of the game. Can they win the third match?
Youzi said: "This game was a bit forced. Whether we can turn things around depends on EDG's next match."
After a tug of war in the river, the Nine-Tailed Fox made a mistake and moved into the opponent's control range. It was killed by the Swordmaster. With one less hero, is there still an advantage in the team battle?
When A Shui used his ultimate, the stone man flew over, and the double control allowed the AD to output quickly. Rita's control was very beautiful. Because it was continuous control, the first control controlled one hero, and the second control controlled two opponent's heroes when it flew out, allowing Xu Mo to get a double kill.
Ning Wang said: "It's not easy. If it weren't for the control skills of the bottom lane combination, we would be at a disadvantage in this teamfight. Xu Mo, your reaction speed is really fast."
After a wave of tug-of-war, they gained the upper hand. The other three heroes were still fighting here and didn't want to give EDG a chance to start a team fight. It was three against four, and EDG was not at full health, so it would easily suffer a loss if they started to fight the dragon.
"Should we fight this dragon buff?"
Xu Mo said: "Let's not fight yet. It's easy to fail if we fight the dragon. Our advantage in the situation is not particularly obvious."
EDG didn't get the dragon. Duoduo said: "It's a pity that we can't get the dragon buff this time. EDG played this way to stabilize the game. After all, they don't have much advantage."
"The more critical the moment, the more stable our performance should be so that we can stabilize the outcome of this match."
When the opponents saw that EDG did not choose to start the dragon, they immediately went to lead the military line. The economy of both sides was similar, and the position of the military line also determined the outcome of this duel. Xu Mo waited in the bush for a while, and the opponent would definitely come to attack the buff. He and Ning Wang decided to gank down the Electric Swordsman first.
