014 A wonderful grass-drilling trick!
Next came the business plan (BP) stage.
Chen Dongqing was on the second floor of the red team, and the first round was to choose a hero. Just as he was thinking about which hero to choose that wouldn't be countered, he saw the opponent choose Riven on the first floor.
Fiora wasn't even banned, Riven was locked in instantly.
Damn it, haha.
Looking at the situation, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but grin.
TheShy wants to go head-to-head with him!
Then let's try it.
Without hesitation, Chen Dongqing immediately locked in Fiora on the first floor, and then both sides continued the draft phase, quickly finalizing their lineups.
TheShy's team is on the blue side: top lane Riven, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Twisted Fate, and bot lane Kalista and Thresh.
Knowing that JackeyLove was on the opposing team, Xiangguo on the first floor banned Draven directly; heroes that should be banned still need to be banned.
Chen Dongqing's team is on the red side: Fiora top, Nidalee jungle, Zed mid, and Lucian and Nautilus bot.
When it came to choosing his talent, Chen Dongqing naturally chose the Undying Grip.
There are essentially two ways to build Fiora: either Undying or Fervor of Battle.
However, in Chen Dongqing's understanding, there is absolutely no need to bring War Fever, because once Fiora gets her items, she doesn't lack damage. The biggest problem is how to get through the process of getting those items.
Clearly, the damage and healing from Grasp of the Undying are exactly what Fiora needs, and this Grasp of the Undying at the beginning of Season 6 is at its strongest.
Every four seconds in combat, the next basic attack will deal magic damage equal to 3% of the user's maximum health and restore health equal to that amount.
How will Undying be nerfed next? The damage will remain the same, but the healing will be halved. Even so, Undying will still be a viable keystone rune after the nerf.
That shows just how outrageous the Undying was before the nerfs at the beginning of this season.
The reason why the Grasp of the Undying appeared in the official server is mainly because the Thunder were too overpowered in the preseason. There were basically eight or nine Thunders in a game, so not many people carried Grasp of the Undying.
The designers were so focused on weakening Thunder that they overlooked Undying, which slipped through their net.
Now it's Chen Dongqing's turn to reap the benefits of this version.
The match began, and Chen Dongqing once again bought a Doran's Blade, and then helped Xiangguo check the top and jungle areas.
He waited until the minion wave was about to reach the top lane before taking control of Fiora and heading towards the top lane.
At this moment, Xiangguo was still reminding him, "Be careful, this top laner is really strong, I remember him so well in ranked games last year."
"I see."
Chen Dongqing just smiled.
Are you kidding me? I definitely know better than you whether TheShy is good or not!
Moreover, this is TheShy at the age of sixteen, who is at the peak of his individual skills, and reaching the top of the Korean server is as easy as playing around.
It's no exaggeration to say that although Chen Dongqing's gaming talent has been boosted by the system, he still lags behind TheShy.
After all, his reaction speed is only around 90, while his mechanics and team fight ability are only around 80. TheShy's stats are definitely over 90, and probably even higher.
Fortunately, Chen Dongqing's gaming experience as a time traveler can make up for some of the losses, giving him the possibility of competing with TheShy in terms of skill.
When both sides' minions were online, TheShy naturally started with the standard Q-locking maneuver, walking out to auto-attack minions with three stacks of his passive, aiming to reach level two first.
Of course, the reason TheShy was so bold was mainly because the vulnerability was revealed on the left side of the character model.
Because Riven is on the blue side, the weakness on the left is essentially behind her, making it difficult for Fiora to hit her.
Chen Dongqing, however, remained calm. He was also an A-rank melee soldier, slowly accumulating his invincibility.
After Riven uses her Q, the Q skill cooldown is about five seconds, while her Grasp of the Undying will only trigger in her hand after four seconds.
Chen Dongqing could have waited until the Undying was ready before going in to trade blows. By then, Riven would have almost fully stacked her three passive stacks on minions, which would have been the perfect opportunity for a fight.
Soon, a green light appeared in Fiora's hand, and immediately, Chen Dongqing boldly walked towards Riven!
On the other side, TheShy was not afraid at all and decisively pushed forward, first exchanging a basic attack with Fiora, and then immediately closing in.
His Q skill has one second left, so he's not afraid of a forced trade of health!
On the other side, Chen Dongqing was not afraid at all. He quickly used Q to expose the weakness behind Riven, and then used the speed boost to quickly pull her into the bush!
The first vulnerability was exposed, and the second vulnerability appeared to Riven's right.
TheShy also noticed the opening on his right. He first gave Fiora a basic attack, and then his Q skill was on cooldown. He quickly hit Fiora with a Q while moving to the upper right, and then followed up with a basic attack.
Chen Dongqing quickly retaliated with a basic attack from Riven, and then continued to retreat into the bushes.
Riven relentlessly pursued him, immediately following up with a second QA combo, but he still adhered to the same principle: using the small displacement of his Q skill to prevent Fiora from hitting the opening on the right side.
He knows exactly how to play Riven against Fiora. His lightning-fast QA combo is just basic stuff. The real skill lies in constantly adjusting his position using his Q skill while performing the lightning-fast QA combo.
But Chen Dongqing remained calm. He was already standing at the edge of the top lane bush. He stood still, delivered another basic attack to Riven, and then immediately disappeared into the bush.
At the same time, Riven unleashed her third Q, the blade slamming heavily into the ground. Fiora, whose mobility hadn't yet recovered, definitely couldn't dodge this attack.
But... before the blade slammed into the ground, the Fiora had already taken a step and walked right into the bushes.
The distance was extremely tight. Although Riven's Q skill successfully knocked Fiora into the air, Fiora was in the bush, which prevented Riven from following up with her auto-attacks.
TheShy felt a slight chill. At this moment, Riven was not far from the bush, right in front of him. He also took a step forward and crawled into the bush, wanting to use his passive to deal damage.
But at that moment, Fiora suddenly stepped out of the bushes.
Riven enters the bush, Fiora leaves the bush.
The two figures moved relative to each other, causing them to overlap slightly and get extremely close!
Take one more step, and the flaw will be right in front of you.
Fiora landed a basic attack, exploiting the second opening and dealing true damage while healing herself!
Although Riven managed to land her passive-infused auto-attacks, he was already in trouble in this exchange.
Although he completed the entire QA combo, and his health is now in the red, he no longer has the ability to continue fighting.
Fiora exposed the second weakness, gaining a speed boost and the right to pursue.
Chen Dongqing had no intention of leaving. Taking advantage of the acceleration, he slashed at Riven with another Undying Blade, and then quickly moved downwards, towards the third vulnerable spot.
TheShy dared not trade any more blows. He auto-attacked Fiora one last time and then quickly headed towards the tower.
But Chen Dongqing wouldn't give up, controlling Fiora to stick close to Riven, but he didn't auto-attack, just stayed right next to her.
Soon, green light reappeared in Fiora's hand.
At this moment, Fiora finally swung her sword and stabbed Riven directly.
22+58!
This comes from immortality and basic attacks.
Then the character suddenly shifted sideways, unleashing a [Sky-Piercing Slash] below Riven, and struck again!
25+59!
This comes from the flaw and Q.
Having exposed this last weakness, Fiora left triumphantly. Although TheShy reacted quickly, retaliating with a basic attack the instant Fiora's Q exposed the weakness, it was all in vain.
In terms of damage, the two top laners were about the same, both completing a full combo plus enough auto-attacks.
However, Chen Dongqing exploited three weaknesses and two vulnerabilities in this exchange, recovering 116 points of health, which gave him a huge advantage in the fight, allowing him to gain a lead of over 100 health points.
What gave him this advantage was that ingenious grass-drilling technique!
This, perhaps, is a victory in terms of gaming experience.
