Chapter 211 – 211. Second Division Playoffs (3)

“The top will be a battle of how long Hope can hold out against God Dog.”
“In terms of the laning composition, an extreme tank character like Hyeonmu is a rat poison to an AD dealer like Orion. It will probably be a painful time for Hyun-moo throughout the lane battle!”
“Still, Orion doesn’t have the skills to gank, so we need to call a jungler. If you bite it properly once and kill it, it becomes a so-called bread deal until the second half.”

As expected, when the line match started, Sook-hee Heo began to press Hope very aggressively.

It is impossible to take a half-half composition while having an overwhelming compatibility.

I think it’s right to play to benefit from the line by narrowly hitting the line like a top laner here.

Orion stands among the creeps and touches Xuanwu with a tuk-tuk and a flat hit.
Just that alone reduced Hyeonmu’s physical strength to less than half.

He was forced to hug the tower reluctantly.

‘Now this is what’s important.’

How long can Hope survive wearing a tower?
Or how much CS Deny or Dive Angle Goddog can do.

The junglers of both teams also start to create an upward movement, probably realizing that the top lane situation is not serious.

Of course, from the line push initiative to the joining initiative, Wisdom is much more advantageous in the fight between jungles.

“Hope can’t join at all!”
“Using the top line initiative, Wisdom is actively entering the jungle of the Dragon Knights!”
“Smash fights are important here, right?!”

With Jungle Baekho standing in the front line and Orion making a tuk-tuk deal, Dragon Knights jungler Love Bear had no choice but to fall back.

However, it seemed that he did not intend to give away all the jungle monsters.
He was quietly watching from behind, looking for the right moment to strike.

Jihye Lee skillfully took out jungle monsters and ate them one by one.

Heo Sook-hee has been vacating the top line for a long time, but she has no significant impact.
This is because Hyeonmu chose to join rather than apply tower pressure with slow line clearing.

As expected, Hope appears with Ji-hye and Sook-hee behind.

Endeavor, the mid laner of the Dragon Knights, is also joining right away.

The six top, jungle, and mid players quickly united and a small skirmish took place.

The first to cast an inish was the Dragon Knights Hyunmu.
He tries to bite Heo Suk-hee by blinking, perhaps thinking of reversing the pain he has suffered in the lane battle.

It was a pretty harsh choice.
Our team’s jungle character was a white tiger, and the mid character was a horse king, so the only thing that could be killed with a bite was Heo Sook-hee’s Orion.

“Hope player, bold initiative!”
“You have to kill God Dog first! Is this a deal?!”
“Goddog! Great response!”

However, Heo Sook-hee uses her purification and flashing spells to get out of the danger zone in an instant.
Therefore, Endeavor and Love Bear, who came in, were also blocked by Lee Ji-hye and Han Yuna’s blocking, so they couldn’t make a proper deal.

Then Sook-hee Heo started doing her kiting.

Heo Sook-hee, who blows her flat blows while maintaining her breathtaking range to the point of disgusting.

It didn’t have as much destructive power as the one deal with the second half deal, but when the continuous deal is piled up, the words change.

AP-oriented characters have to wait for the cooldown to turn after using all their skills, but AD-oriented characters based on normal attacks are capable of non-stop attacks.

Love Bear and Endeavor survived because they didn’t go too deep.
However, Hyeonmu, who even used blinking to cast inish, was not like that.

[First take!]

“God Dog even ate the first place!”
“This was a big deal. I’m still suffering from laning battles, but I’m even getting bigger. Hope, can you breathe in the lane now?”

The reward for winning small skirmishes fell to the jungle as well.
After kicking out the Dragon Knights’ jungler and mid laner, they ate all the monsters in the opponent’s upper jungle.

Since he had left the friendly jungle camp behind on the expedition, the return trip was light.

After that, the game flowed based on the upper body that completely took the initiative.
Lee Ji-hye persistently digs through the upper jungle.

Love Bear had no choice but to go around the lower jungle and press the bottom line, but with White’s super play shining, even that became difficult.

“Wasn’t the timing of White’s purification just amazing?!”
“This is the reason I use Aphrodite. Since there are many utility skills such as Purification and Enchantment, it is optimized to protect one-deal!”

Every time a gank was released from the bottom, the pressure on Hope continued to grow.

In the end, Player Hope’s HP was lowered due to constant checks.
Creeps flocked and God Dog and Wisdom took their places on both sides of the tower.
It was a typical dive composition.

“Once there is Blink, but it doesn’t seem easy to survive.”
“Wisdom will attack first. And the continuous CC connection!”

If the strong White Tiger casts CC first, Orion’s damage pours over it.

Hope died without being able to use blink.
With this, TOP scored 2 deaths.

It was a fatal blow even for Hyunmura, the character of rice soup.

“The soup temperature is getting cold right now! Didn’t Goddog and Wisdom properly break the earthen pot?!”
“If this is the case, Hyeonmu has nothing to do other than shuttle to the palace during teamfights. The soup is so cold that you can eat it in one bite.”
“What if the Korean soul food, gukbap, is cold?! How can I reheat this soup?!”
“Uh… We need at least 10 more minutes from now. Originally, earthenware pot doesn’t cool well, but it takes a long time to heat up!”

After completely detonating the tower, it continues to operate naturally.
Just put Goddog on the tower, and then benefit from the distribution of personnel.

If a lot of people were invested in the tower, they pushed the tower of another line, and if they tried to attack the object, they turned toward the tower.

“Dragon Knights! The highway is breaking through the top line right now! No, I ate the Buddha, but if this happens…”
“You can never see it as an advantage. The top line suppressor is already out. There are still 1st towers left in the mid and bottom!”

He gave up the object, but took the gold instead.

This is the best situation for our team with two one-deal.

The amount of damage of the one-deal that goes up as you go.
The Dragon Knights chose a bold method of initiating so that the ADs would no longer be large.

It was a good teamfight that started with Heo Sook-hee.
However, Baek Ha-yan and Ryu Seo-yoon, who were stuck next to him, were the problem.

“Love Bear is coming!”
“Can you catch this?!”
“No, wait! How many cleanses are there?! Can you come out alive with this?!”

The white Aphrodite and Heo Sook-hee’s physicals were properly done and dribbled for quite a long time.
Still, the dragon knights with guts somehow tied up and killed Heo Sook-hee, but after that was a problem.

Because we had two AD players on our team.

“Ryu has a deal! It’s just a free deal!”
“I went into the den to catch a fox, but there was also a tiger next to it!!”
“As expected, Ryu! If you give this player a free deal composition, you just can’t stop it!”

Since it was the Dragon Knights who used up all their strength in biting Heo Sook-hee, the subsequent teamfight ended more trivially than expected.

Starting with Lee Ji-hye and Han Yuna, who joined late, Ryu Seo-yoon advanced and swept them one by one.

Once you hit the CC flag and tied your feet, you didn’t have to think hard because you were hit by Ryu Seo-yoon’s blast and died.

“Battle Angels!!”
“This is too fatal. It’s just a knockout! It’s a problem even if the Dragon Knights can survive in this state, but it’s not easy to survive.”
“The Dragon Knights really tried. You captured the Goddog player and even ate the bounty! But in Battle Angels, there was Ryu, the real one-hander!”
“Solo Lang Emergency! Be careful with Top Orion today!”

The twin turrets of the Dragon Knights collapsed, eventually breaking the core.
Once you have secured 1 set.

I hid my excitement and started thinking about my next set strategy.
Playoffs are played as a best-of-five match.

This meant that he still had to defeat the Dragon Knights twice more.

‘The same strategy never works twice.’

In particular, the two-one deal strategy had a lot of counters.
Even if you catch the yeti, which can be said to be the main enemy of the one deal, your power will drop dramatically and you will be very vulnerable to assassins.

‘I have to distribute my stamina well.’

Now, based on long-term special training, I have increased my basic physical strength, but if it becomes a long-term battle that fills the 5th set, it will definitely have an impact.

Before that, it was necessary to think about building a winning streak by driving the momentum of this set.

###

“……”

The leader of the Dragon Knights, the jungler Love Bear, unconsciously licked his lips.
I never thought of it as an easy opponent.

However, they were stronger than expected.

It wasn’t just about in-game skills.

‘I was surprised that the strategy was more diverse than I thought.’

I didn’t know that I would pull out a card called Two-One Deal in preparation for the strategy aimed at God Dog’s character pool.
Of course, this is not to be regarded as an unexpected genius idea.

Anyone can think of a strategy, but there was still an area to judge whether it would work in the current meta.

‘Maybe it was a possible strategy because I trusted the players.’

There is no such thing as time to practice all the character combinations.

The first combination was done with cooperation and experience.

‘Then we can’t just sit still.’

Love Bear looked at his teammates and said.

“Let’s go with the combination we do best.”

The Dragon Knights were called the Dragon Knights of teamfights because they were good at characters with a sense of stability.

‘Can you guys really break through this too?’

He was confident that he would never lose in a head-to-head teamfight.

###

The advantage of the Dragon Knights was very simple.
Top and jungle are good at tank characters, mid and AD are good at dealer characters, and support is good at utility characters.

This had the great disadvantage of not being able to use ever-changing combinations,

‘It doesn’t matter because I have the confidence that I won’t lose if I get that classic combination.’

And the second set came out with a ban pick that showed their confidence.

Try any combination anywhere, we will deal with the characters we are good at, as if to say.

‘Then this side can’t be avoided either.’

I’ve been fighting a power struggle, but avoiding it is like not trusting the players!

Without hesitation, I also brought picks that our players are good at.

The conclusion was that the tier characters were properly divided.

And I soon came to regret my judgment.
