Chapter 445: The Alliance of Thieves

On the stage, Yuan Shen led the IG team to the stage!

The audience cheered in unison:

"IG! IG! IG!"

Then, the WE team also came to the stage, and the WE fans were also very excited:

"WE! WE! WE!"

The two players shook hands in the middle, and Yuan Shen faced Conti.

Conti looked a little nervous.

After shaking hands, both sides turned around, walked to their respective positions, and sat down.

Yuan Shen put on headphones.

Fu Manduo said: "Get ready and concentrate. This is our first game in the new season. Show our IG's strength and fight them."

Now it is a new season and a new version, which means that this game will be watched by many clubs, both domestic and foreign. Everyone wants to see how IG, as a three-time champion, will play.

In this game, IG is on the red side and WE is on the blue side.

Enter the BAN hero stage.

IG: Varus, Policewoman, Kalista

WE: Mantis, Rek'Sai, Shen

Gugu commented: "In this game, WE chose to target the jungle. These three heroes should be the ones they think can be used in the jungle in the current version and are relatively strong."

Wawa continued: "I feel that for Yuan Shen, he doesn't care much about whether the version is strong or not. He cares about the lineup of both sides. If he thinks he can use it, even if it is a very unpopular hero, he will use it to play the jungle."

"And IG is targeting the hero pool of the brother-in-law in the bottom lane, mainly three pairs of strong representatives, which can alleviate the disadvantage of the bottom lane."

Enter the hero selection stage.

The blue side WE got the prince on the first floor, and it was IG's turn to choose.

IG locked Ornn on the first floor and got Ryze on the second floor.

Wawa muttered, "Hey? Is this Ornn playing in the top lane? Ornn is very strong in this version. Ornn was released before the S7 World Finals, but because he was too strong after he came out, he was banned by Riot and did not play in the entire S7. Now he is unbanned."

Gugu shook his head: "I think it should be IG who is trying. They want to try the effect of this hero. After all, they couldn't try it before because it was banned."

WE got Vampire and Taliyah on the second and third floors.

Miller commented: "Vampire? I rarely saw Brother Tui playing Vampire before. He usually played tanks or warrior heroes. Does Vampire have any explanation in this game?"

IG locked Xia on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

IG chose to ban Kog'Maw and Tristana.

WE put Rakan and Gnar on the ban position.

IG got Shen on the fourth floor.

Gugu explained: "Shen? This is Shen's support, it can't be Shen's top laner. I feel that Theshy is unlikely to play a hero like Shen."

Wawa agreed: "It feels a bit overkill. Although Shen can form a good combination with various heroes, Shen's functionality can be fully realized in the support position."

"The main reason is that half of IG's bottom lane is pressure-resistant. The difference between choosing other heroes to resist pressure and choosing Shen to resist pressure is not big."

WE got EZ and Tam on the fourth and fifth floors.

Gugu explained: "Brother-in-law's EZ is here! I remember that his EZ proficiency is high, which is one of his signatures."

Miller analyzed: "I personally feel that the top ADC EZ is very strong. This hero is a representative of skill-based ADCs. If EZ can be played well, this type of ADC can be played well."

At this time, IG's fifth floor has not been determined. IG chose to take out the captain on the fifth floor, locked!

"Ah? Gangplank? Then this Ornn is not a top laner. IG is missing a jungler. Could it be Ornn as a jungler?"

Miller agreed: "This is obviously Ornn as a jungler. As for what effect it can have, we need to see."

The lineups of both sides were determined:

Red side IG: Top Gangplank, Jungle Ornn, Mid Lane Ryze, ADC Xia, Support Shen.

Blue side WE: Top Vampire, Jungle Prince, Mid Lane Rock Bird, ADC CEZ, Support Tam

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen started the game with the rhythm: "In this game, we mainly try out the new system. You guys play freely. If you lose, you are responsible."

"Puff... I thought you were going to say you were responsible." Rookie couldn't hold it anymore.

Yuan Shen retorted: "Ah? You didn't play well and lost the game. Let your teammates take responsibility. This is not good."

Theshy asked: "How strong is the hero Ornn?"

"Ornn...you ask me? You are a top laner, and you ask me? The positioning of this hero is top lane or support." Yuan Shen chose not to answer.

Theshy muttered, "I haven't had time to try it yet. I thought you knew, so I wanted to ask you. If you tell me, it can save a lot of time."

Yuan Shen replied, "I'll tell you if you pay the tuition."

Theshy stopped talking. This is not a matter of money. If he really paid the tuition, it would be like admitting that he is Yuan Shen's student, which made him a little unacceptable.

Although he and Yuan Shen often communicated, they were not a clear teacher-student relationship.

The director showed both sides the summoner skills, and Gugu found something:

"Did you see that four heroes had Kleptomaniac in this game? Gangplank, Ryze, Vampire and EZ also had it. I didn't understand why Ryze could also have this talent? Did he want to go up and attack someone?"

Miller guessed: "Maybe he really wants to go up and attack someone. I have experienced the talent of Kleptomaniac in a pub game. How should I put it? When your skill hits the opponent and steals something, you don't care whether the stolen thing is useful or not, it feels great."

Wawa joked: "Is it a feeling of guilt being satisfied? Things that cannot be satisfied in real life are satisfied in the game."

In this game, both sides began to organize a level 1 group.

It was not even Yuan Shen who stopped it, but Theshy and Rookie who gave the signal:

"Fight a wave, we can fight a wave."

"Invade from this side and find the opponent."

Normally, at level 1, the blue team's mid laner would stand guard at the entrance of the lower jungle area. The IG team seemed to be looking for him, so the five IG players came along the line of soldiers and entered the bushes below the middle lane. After a little gathering, they continued to move forward.

Yuan Shen said: "Theshy, you are not mistaken, you are a top laner running to the bottom half jungle to fight a level 1 team fight?"

Theshy started to play dumb: "No way?"

Yuan Shen was speechless: "What do you think?"

Five people walked around the corner, originally wanting to find the opponent's mid laner, but something outrageous happened.

The five people on the opposite side were also there!

And they also came together, as if to invade.

The two sides had a close contact!

Wawa exclaimed: "What do you mean? Level 1 invasions are rare in the game. I haven't seen one in 20 games. Did the two teams think of the same thing today?"

Miller guessed: "Is it this Kleptomaniac Omen that caused the trouble? They all want to steal something at level 1?"

Both sides reacted quickly, Tam licked over with his tongue, and Vampire simply clicked on the E skill at level 1, charged the E skill, and followed up with a basic attack to trigger the Kleptomaniac Omen.

EZ was more convenient, and it was triggered directly with the Q skill.

On the IG side, Gangplank's Q skill was triggered, Ryze's W slowed down and the basic attack was triggered, Xia was crazy output, and suddenly Shen handed over the E flash to control three people!

Yuan Shen's Ornn clicked the E skill at level 1 and crashed into the wall. The three were knocked away and controlled in succession!

"Kill! Kill!" IG was furious. Gangplank flashed and used his fire knife to kill the opposite Taliyah. He used his Q skill to kill the opposite Prince, but was killed by Xia's attack.

WE chose to focus on Gangplank who had no flash, took down Gangplank, and then gave up their flashes and fled.

Wawa explained: "WE gave up five flashes in this team battle, which was a big loss! Xia gave up her flash and went up to attack and kill the vampire. Now it's one for three, three flashes for five flashes, IG made a lot of money!"

Gu Gu laughed and said: "I can only say that the new season and the new version are different. Both sides are extremely passionate. Of course, Kleptomaniac Omen should have played a big role. The players on both sides with this talent couldn't hold back and just wanted to play a wave."

On the IG side, Smlz's Xia was comfortable and got two kills at the beginning.

There is no wrong version in the 16-9 book and bar!

However, Theshy suddenly said: "Didn't we bring Kleptomancy in the bottom lane? That's a loss."

Smlz was stunned: "Ah? Can my hero bring Kleptomancy?"

Theshy replied: "Of course, you have skills, you need to attack the opponent, then it can be triggered, why not bring it?"

Smlz began to doubt his life, he felt that he shouldn't bring it, but Theshy suggested that he bring it, so should he listen or not?

At this time, Yuan Shen said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he can bring Kleptomancy to anything, because he is greedy, you know? Next time he plays a sword princess or a blue steel shadow, he will give you Kleptomancy, don't be led astray."

Smlz was relieved, he thought he was wrong.

In fact, Kleptomancy is very popular in the public game now, almost every game has someone bringing it, and all kinds of weird heroes have Kleptomancy.

IG went back to replenish supplies, and the soldiers had come out. Yuan Shen returned to the jungle and got the blue BUFF with the help of the duo, and the first round of wild monsters were all cleared.

At the same time, on the top lane, the two with Kleptomancy began to fight each other frantically. Gangplank was easier, and his Q skill could be triggered directly, while Vampire Ding carried Gangplank's Q and walked forward, and followed up with his E skill with a basic attack.

It didn't matter if the E skill missed, as long as the basic attack could hit.

On the middle lane, Rookie's Ryze wanted to go up and trigger Kleptomancy at level 1. While Taliyah was last-hitting, he approached Taliyah, followed up with a W with a basic attack, and left after it was triggered.

However, Taliyah's Q skill was much longer than his W. Taliyah activated his Q skill and chased Ryze, and Ryze would definitely lose health, but for Rookie, it didn't matter.

Wawa commented: "Really, we should capture the players' excited and expectant expressions when they trigger the stealing omen. Did you notice that they would trigger the stealing omen even if they lose health?"

Gugu replied: "This is human greed. I feel that the designer has a good grasp of human nature this time. He knows that everyone likes to steal things subconsciously, but they just don't dare to do it normally."

Yuan Shen went all the way to the upper jungle area, got the red buff, and started to find the rhythm. Now the opposite Taliyah has no flash and is pushing the line quickly. The middle lane has a chance!

"Mid lane, I'm coming, let's do it." Yuan Shen gave the middle lane a signal.

So Rookie continued to control the line back. Ryze now has flash and can flash to cooperate.

However, at this moment, Taliyah suddenly placed a ward in the bush above the middle lane, apparently sensing danger.

Yuan Shen chose to walk over from the position of the wall between the giant bird and now helped to get close to his own side, and he could also gank at this position.

"Get ready."

Rookie saw the opportunity, took advantage of Taliyah's coming up to last hit, flashed EW to control, and moved to avoid Taliyah's W.

Yuan Shen's Ornn flashed over the wall, used Q to Taliyah, waited a little, then used E skill to hit him, followed by W Bellows Flame Breath, and triggered fragile damage with a basic attack. Ryze continued to come up to output, and a set of skills dealt full damage. Finally, O'Neal took the head with a basic attack.

Miller commented: "It was a very smooth gank. The consequences of WE's first-level group fight came out. If they hadn't used Flash in the first-level group fight, Taliyah would definitely not have died."

Gugu replied: "Indeed, Ryze also triggered the Kleptomaniac Omen just now. It seems that Rookie is very happy."

While Yuan Shen was ganking in the middle lane, the opponent's jungler Prince came to the top lane.

The top lane Captain and Vampire were both low on health. The key was that Captain didn't flash, and the opponent's Prince came around and had nowhere to go.

The Captain chose to counterattack and sent a Q to Prince. The Kleptomaniac Omen was triggered. Suddenly, a golden item appeared in the Captain's equipment bar.

Wawa shouted loudly: "Lucky bag! This is the first of the four Kleptomaniac Omens for both sides in this game. It's lucky to be the first to steal the lucky bag."

Gugu muttered: "You're going to die in this wave, and you're still lucky?"

The Captain was killed and Vampire got the head.

However, when the director gave Theshy a close-up of his hand, he was smiling.

"Not a loss, not a loss this time." Theshy said with a smile.

Yuan Shen scanned the equipment bar of the captain for a day and understood: "Not a loss, big brother, do you know how much a head costs?"

At this time, the official live broadcast room was boiling with comments:

"This is too exaggerated, being caught dead can still laugh."

"The designer who designed the Kleptomancy Omen talent is really a genius."

"I feel like IG seems to be obsessed because of this talent."

"It's okay, as long as Yuan Shen is not obsessed."

The game continued, the time came to seven minutes, and Yuan Shen's Ornn was level 6.

At this time, the captain was also level 6. Yuan Shen gave a kill mark to the middle lane Rock Sparrow and said:

"Top lane, mixed assists."

In the commentary booth, Wawa explained: "Is Ornn coming to the middle lane again? But this time, the rock sparrow has a big move, I don't think it's so easy to catch it?"

"Side string fire!"

Suddenly, the captain gave a big move to the middle lane.

Xiye was dumbfounded: "No, what does this ultimate skill mean?"

He held the W skill and waited for Ryze to come up to deal damage, then he released Wj.

But, a fire element suddenly appeared and ran over him.

"Ornn!"

Xiye knew that this was Ornn's ultimate skill.

Ornn did appear, and ran over from the bushes below the middle lane, and the fire element rushed over!

So Taliyah gave up the flash and caught it!

Wawa exclaimed: "The angle of Ornn's ultimate skill is very tricky, and Taliyah's flash is not easy to dodge. After flashing, he was knocked away by the edge, dealing damage, Ryze came forward to deal damage, and Taliyah was gone again!" (End of this chapter)
