Rise

Punishment Arrow Verus.

When this hero was first developed by Riot Games, players and even professional players clearly positioned it as an ADC hero.

But I don’t know when it started. The playing style of mid laner Verus has become more and more frequent in ordinary mid-to-high-end pub games and even professional games.

Even at the end of the current S5 season, although Verus is still not as good as the most popular first-line mid-lane heroes such as Murloc, Card, and Enchantress, he still has it among the second-line mid-lane heroes. got a place.

The key point is that this hero has excellent ability to consume poke and clear troops to push the line.

In the early stage, stable brush line development occurred online.

In the mid-to-late stage team battles, you rely on the Q skill to consume poke at super long distances.

In the middle and late stages, a well-developed mid laner Verus can easily take away nearly half of his health with a fully charged Q skill penetrating arrow that hits the enemy's fragile target hero.

After two hits, the opponent's squishy hero had almost only a trace of blood left, and was about to retreat and escape.

It can be said that Verus' poke ability is not even weaker than Jayce's cannon, and coupled with the team control effect of the Arrow of Punishment's ultimate move, Verus has indeed become more popular and powerful in the current version.

But Verus also has one biggest weakness

"No displacement."

"Especially in the early stage, Verus will almost collapse easily if he is caught by multiple ganks by the opponent's jungle hero."

At the commentator's seat, Mo Sheng, who was still the commentator today, was objectively evaluating and analyzing, and her slightly furrowed eyebrows showed that she was a little worried at the moment.

Liu Huo was still sitting next to Mo Sheng. At this time, the male commentator nodded slightly and answered:

"good."

"And Verus is not only afraid of being targeted in the early stage. If he is cut by the assassin hero in the middle and late stages, there is almost no chance of escape. After all, his ultimate move cannot be kept forever to save his life."

As he said that, Liuhuo sneered slightly:

"This round..."

"Verus is in trouble.

"

…

Originally, the qualification to be a guest commentator in the quarter-finals this time was not available to Liuhuo.

It just happened that another male commentator invited by the organizer suddenly had something to do today, so Liu Huo was asked to take over the commentator's position.

Such a replacement could not make Liuhuo feel any joy, but it was simply an even greater humiliation for him.

Therefore, he will not thank the organizer Shanghai E-Sports Association for the commentary opportunity at all. He will only feel more disgusted with the Shanghai E-Sports Association, or at least feel more unhappy about it.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Huo still has no favorable impression of the Shanghai Electric Association team that played again today.

Even though the performance of the Shanghai Electric Power Association team in the top 16 was already impressive, today, Liu Huo still did not believe that this group of high school students could win and advance again from this round of top eight.

Especially the kid in the mid lane who seems to be named "Lin Feng".

A gloomy light flashed in Liuhuo's eyes:

He didn't deny that the kid's mid laner played really well.

But it's a pity that the kid's opponent this time can almost be regarded as the strongest mid laner in this and all previous national college leagues.

Moreover, Verus fights a fox?

No matter what he thought, Liu Huo was extremely sure that today's first game would be a one-sided massacre in the middle.

The massacre of the nine-tailed demon fox.

…

Including the two male and female commentators in the commentary box, the players and audience in the audience also thought so.

Verus fights the nine-tailed demon fox?

And it’s the nine-tailed demon fox of Master Shi Hang from the Zhejiang University team?

How to fight this?

Isn’t Verus looking for death?

In the front row of the audience, a group of people from the Zhejiang University E-Sports Club had expressions of ridicule and contempt on their faces; on the contrary, everyone from the 13th High School E-Sports Club and the Shanghai Middle School team couldn't help but I started to feel a little nervous and worried.

In fact, only the mid laners on both sides of the game didn't think so.

Squinting at the mid laner's punishing arrow on the opposite side of the blue side, Shi Hang had a rare look of awe and solemnity in his eyes.

As long as it is a game, he will never underestimate any opponent.

not to mention……

His opponent today is that guy.

Similarly, for Lin Feng, he was not too nervous when choosing Verus to face Shi Hang's nine-tailed demon fox.

Who says Verus can't fight foxes?

It is true that there is restraint between heroes, but in the truly top-end high-end games, the personal strength of the players themselves is still seen. For example, even if the card is playing against the murloc, which seems to be obviously used. For disadvantaged games, it is not the card that will lose.

certainly

At this time, the game had already begun. Listening to the soft and pleasant sound of the system female voice ringing in his ears, Lin Feng subconsciously licked his dry lips, and the fighting spirit in his eyes burned more intensely:

If the opponent is that guy Lao Shi.

With his current strength, he really can't say how sure he is.

but.

That's what makes it more interesting!

The blood in his body...has begun to heat up!

…

At the beginning of the game, both the blue and purple teams on the field started with a regular start, and neither team chose to change lanes.

In the middle, Lin Feng controlled his mid laner Verus to slowly walk to the line. Following a wave of minions that had just come out of the tower, he faced the opponent's mid laner Fox who also walked out of the defense tower not far away. .

Alignment begins.

Varus learns Q at level 1.

The fox also learns the Q skill at level 1.

However, the mid laners on both sides did not rush to use their skills at the first opportunity. Instead, as if they had a tacit understanding, they each found their own positioning angles, forming a safe distance of 45 degrees from their opponents.

Lin Feng smiled:

That guy Lao Shi is a little more cautious than he thought.

But then he quickly calmed down and controlled his Punishment Arrow to steadily start the A-soldier's last strike on the line. Not far from the opposite side, the mid laner Nine-tailed Demon Fox controlled by Shi Hang also started unambiguously. did the same action.

Walking chop, flat A, tail knife.

Several minions fell to the hands of the mid lane heroes on both sides one after another. The first three strikes of the mid laners on both sides were all perfect.

The rest are ranged minions.

Lin Feng's Verus suddenly took a small step forward.

Shi Hang's mid laner Fox reacted very quickly and took a step back almost simultaneously.

The short crossbow in Punishment Arrow's hand was raised quickly, and the Q skill was released instantly without charging, drawing a dark red straight line of light in the air and pointing directly at the target nine-tailed demon fox.

It's still the same moment.

As if in a flash of lightning, the nine-tailed demon fox flicked its tail as fast as lightning but light and agile, and also threw the "Deception Orb" of the Q skill towards the target Verus.

The moment the two of them started using the skill, they immediately took a small step sideways to cancel the back swing of the skill.

It was as if they had predicted the opponent's intentions and made evasive actions in advance.

But the blood-red piercing arrow and the magical blue deception orb had penetrated the chests of their respective targets with incomparable accuracy.

The health bars above the heads of Verus and the Nine-tailed Demon Fox each slipped a small bar.

The return damage of the second stage of the fox's Q skill was dodged by Verus, but similarly, Verus, who had just taken the initiative to press in, could not continue to pursue the target and take advantage of it.

It seemed like the heroes on both sides simply exchanged skills, each knocking off a chunk of their opponent's health.

A very ordinary encounter.

But Lin Feng and Shi Hang's eyes lit up slightly at the same time:

They all saw it.

Even after many years, the opponent facing him at this moment...

The operational qualities that professional players should possess are still there!
