Chapter 423

Li Luo's idea sounds a bit wild, but it is an idea Li Luo made after the end of the S8 World Championship, following the general situation of the mainstream version of the S9 season in his mind.

Based on this idea, there is Thorn Bird, and there are now Thorn Bird players.

The so-called hexagonal team, in layman's terms, is a team with no shortcomings.

Judging from this proposition alone, it seems unrealistic.

After all, with the development of e-sports so far, there is no perfect five people.

Any team has its own mainstream style of play, but also has relative weaknesses.

The world champions FNC and TPA in the S1 and F2 seasons are not considered because they are too old.

The SKT team that won the world championship in the first season of S3 was the strongest team that year, but the shelf life of the five of them was extremely short, and they were quickly figured out by the fist. With the changes in the version, SKT in the S4 season The magnitude of the penalty drop is well known.

The white team of S4 claims to be the most dominant in the previous World Championships, and even has the saying that "stars are never scattered, and they will always win the championship". conclusion.

SKT in S5 and S6 had a long period of dominance. They won the championship for two consecutive years without only giving up one player. However, SKT at that time did not go all the way in all competitions. The adjustment was extremely fast. It can be said that SKT at that time was already very close to the hexagonal team, but they still had the possibility of being torn apart when facing ROX, whose style of play was completely different from theirs.

The peak of IG in S7 is only in the World Championship, and the instability of the style of play is doomed that IG will not be able to become a hexagonal team.

EDG in S8 is very invincible. However, this whole year, aside from the LPL teams, the strength of teams in other regions has also been uneven, especially the three teams in the LCK region. The worst result in the previous S games in the LCK division.

What Li Luo is doing now is to rely on his understanding of the game before his rebirth and his career experience in the past two years or so after his rebirth, to perfectly integrate everything he can think of, and apply it to the Thorn Bird team.

There are no five strongest people, only five right people.

There are enough veterans in the Thorn Birds. Maybe their strength alone is not top-notch, but the adaptability of the veterans is much stronger than most potential rookies.

Previously, whether Li Luo was in IG or EDG, he would show different styles of play. For example, in IG, he focused on functionality, and in EDG, he focused on the ability to dominate the game. Correspondingly, Li Luo has other styles It didn't show up in these two teams.

The thorn bird will make Li Luo unscrupulous.

It can also give Li Luo more space to play.

Amidst the voices of doubt on the Internet, Li Luo and Thorn Bird began to exert their strength in the second half of the spring game after the twists and turns in the first half of the spring game.

The 2-0 victory over EDG seems to be an opportunity to make the gold of Thorn Bird officially shine.

In the next game, Thorn Bird won five consecutive victories.

And in every game, the opponent was solved cleanly with a score of 2 to 0.

Even though the Thorn Birds have passed the stronger teams, as long as the audience who often watch the game can keenly feel that there seems to be something different about this Thorn Birds.

With the final battle between Thorn Bird and Suning coming to an end at the end of March, the final standings were also finalized.

In the case of certain losses in the early and mid-term, Thorn Bird, who performed perfectly in the point-grabbing battle, ranked No.3 in the LPL regular season.

No.1 and No.2 are IG team and rookie dark horse TOP respectively.

Behind the Thorn Birds are EDG and FPX. The total wins of the two teams are the same, but the net difference of the EDG team is higher.

In the second half of the regular season, EDG finally stabilized, and it can be regarded as a triumphant progress.

The RNG team ranked No.6 behind the two teams.

The main reason is that RNG in the spring split is indeed a bit embarrassing.

In fact, RNG had a small winning streak in the second half of the Spring Split.

However, RNG fans were not very satisfied with AJ's performance. Under the request of the fans, Babaxi chose to come back and replace AJ as the starting lineup of the RNG team.

Then... RNG knelt down twice.

Fans also felt a little baffled.

AJ's performance at that time was indeed very poor, not to mention that he was at the level of a war criminal.

The laning phase of posture and even some highlights of team battles are indeed better than AJ's, but the results are not stable.

Just weird.

After that, it will be JD.com and Xiaolong Team SDG. So far, the eight teams that have entered the playoffs have all been finalized.

According to the rules of the schedule, it will be divided into two halves of AB.

The third-ranked Thorn Bird's upper level is the rookie dark horse TOP, which was blacked out in the regular season, and the next level is RNG and SDG.

The winner of these two teams will challenge the Thorn Bird.

And if Thorn Bird can win this round and beat TOP in the next round, they can join the promotions from Group A in the final.

This means that the Thorn Birds will go through three rounds of BO5 in the playoffs.

……

"Wow, it's them again."

When the ranking and schedule came out, in the RNG base, uzi smiled helplessly.

In the past, he was not afraid of any team's bottom duo in the domestic league.

Of course, Uzi is not afraid now, but he clearly knows that the combination of himself and Xiao Ming is really difficult to win against Li Luo, at most, he can only not lose.

Every time he played against Li Luo in the past two years, Uzi was more frustrated.

He is different from Li Luo.

He and Xiao Ming have been partners since the first time they played against Li Luo, which means that the progress of the two of them is steadily improving every year.

But what about Li Luo?

From his debut in the second half of S7 to the early stage of S9, Li Luo changed three supports in less than two years.

But the relationship between Li Luo and every support is unimaginable, and besides Meiko, among the three supports, Baolan and Liu Qingsong were not well-known in LPL before they met Li Luo. The kind that is ranked after ming and meiko, commonly known as public assistance.

But after they partnered with Li Luo, they all started to take off.

This is enough to explain Li Luo's personal ability.

And Thorn Bird is not a head at all. When encountering RNG, it will never sacrifice Li Luo's line, let Li Luo take a relatively weak hero and be suppressed by uzi.

And the sad reminder is that other roads seem to be unstable.

Uzi looked up at the sky, his mind was extremely complicated.

Who can C me?
Uzi roared in his heart.

At this moment, Xiaohu's unique drake voice sounded: "It's okay brother, I'll come to fight the thorn bird, I'm very confident in fighting Xiye, hehehe."

Xiaohu was full of confidence when he said this.

Xiye has been really strong this season. It feels like he was a strong C in WE in the spring split last year, and he has maintained a pretty good state.

But... so what?
Xiaohu dare not say that he beats others.

Da Xiye, he was very energetic.

The name Xiaohu Power Bank was not just picked up by fans.

"Brothers, I have black technology, and I'm talking to you. When fighting the Thorn Bird, I will be with Conte. I will kill Flandre with Victor, and Victor will suck it!"

The posture is also serious and said.

The current version has been adhering to the trend of being able to play fighters in the middle lane and mages in the top lane.

RNG is actually quite optimistic about their own playoff status.

Another reason for choosing to start with a stable posture is that the previous posture was a genius mid laner debut.

His mage heroes are very well played, which is too suitable for the current meta.

And the version of the S9 season is not very particular about whether the double AP of the middle or middle field will be deformed, because the magic resistance equipment of this version is not very OP.

It doesn't matter if you have more APs. If the AOE is explosive enough, any weird lineup is acceptable.

Both of them made such promises, and Uzi felt a little relieved.

Confidence is the pinnacle.

At least before facing the Thorn Bird, his teammates were full of energy and energy!

After a short break, the schedule of the LPL playoffs also kicked off.

The duel between RNG and SDG's little dark horse will soon be staged.

Before the start of the game, there was a big discrepancy between various views on the Internet and those of people in the circle.

This is actually relatively rare in the e-sports circle.

Leaving aside RNG fanatics, at least 50% of the audience in the neutral position think that SDG has a chance to beat RNG, which is the so-called [-]-[-] situation.

SDG's play style is very aggressive, and adc player gala's play style is steady, and he often has excellent performances in team battles. It is not too much to call them little dark horses.

The recent instability of RNG will also make these viewers doubt whether RNG can win.

However, the commentators in the circle and even some retired professional players agreed that this would be a big victory for RNG.

It's game day.

The Thorn Birds still attached great importance to this game, and directly chose to watch the game live.

I have to mention that it took a lot of effort for everyone to squeeze into their seats.

Li Luo sat on the chair, rubbing his cheek with one hand, while Liu Qingsong squeezed the other hand.

"Too hard, too hard, Brother Luo."

Liu Qingsong couldn't maintain his indifferent personality, and he often kept smiling in front of Li Luo.

Along the way, Li Luo has been asked by fans to take photos and sign autographs. His face is stiff with laughter, and his hands are a little sore. Liu Qingsong volunteered to say that he once asked how to massage tired hands when he was in the post before playing professionally. Calling himself a master, this time Li Luo just happened to experience it.

"Wouldn't it be nice to eat fried chicken and drink some Coca-Cola in the base? You must come to see it, my buddies are all implicated."

Xiangguo tidied up her hair.

He is actually the worst.

As a popular jungler in China, there are quite a few people asking him to take photos and sign his name.

Xiangguo's body was too thin, and he felt that his ribs seemed to be dislocated and deformed in the crowd.

"That's right, it's all because Li Zhe gave the ticket to the front court. I'll post a Weibo to complain about him later."

Li Luo smiled brightly and said.

……

The game kicked off soon.

The atmosphere of the arena is indeed very good, but overall, the number of fans of the RNG team has an absolute advantage.

The first lineups of both sides are quite conventional, and they are also the old ones in the recent version.

What a similar lineup actually competes is the comparison of the strengths of the two sides in all aspects.

Li Luo only watched it for 10 minutes, and a script appeared in his mind. After Li Luo pondered for two seconds, he looked at the incense pot beside him, and said in a low voice, "How should I say, make a bet."

"Oh? What do you say? Take me one?"

Brother Shengqiang, who was sitting next to the incense pot, vaguely heard Li Luo's words, and immediately became interested.

"I predict that this BO5 will end 3-1. If the situation is RNG's Gogo×Go, if my guess is correct, everyone involved will invite a bungalow hot pot. If I guess wrong, I will treat it. "

When Li Luo said this condition, he hesitated for a moment.

He thinks pro players are too boring.

Oh no, it should be that the professional players of their own team are bored, even if it is a bet, they can only come up with the condition of a meal appointment.

There are also some professional players from other teams who are good at playing, the more famous one is Mr. Kang.

"Are you so sure? I don't believe it yet. I'm playing first hand. I don't think there is any suspense about RNG's 3-0 match."

Xiangguo said immediately.

"Me too."

Brother Holy Gun echoed.

"There's nothing to say, Brother Luo and I."

Liu Qingsong regained his indifferent face and spoke.

Both Xiye and Xiaodongbei were watching the play and did not participate in the prediction.

The predicted duel between 2v2 will start soon.

In the first game, RNG quickly took the initiative in the situation with its rich experience, and finally kicked Gala back with Kasa blind monk's smart roundabout kick. Gala was directly defeated without any skills.

Xiaohu's Syndra is in pretty good shape, and the timing and position of following the ball are perfect.

In just 27 minutes, RNG won the first game steadily.

After watching the state of everyone in RNG in the first game, Xiangguo immediately felt relieved.

Unsurprisingly, SDG played substandardly in the second game, and seemed to have been hit mentally. They lost even faster this time, and were defeated by RNG in less than 25 minutes.

Holy Gun and Xiangguo are ready to celebrate in advance.

But the result of the third game surprised the two.

"Ouch, I played him to death, labor and management knew that this group of contestants would definitely be promiscuous, how could the goddamn aggressive guy not be promiscuous! I'm so stupid!"

The incense pot beat his chest and stamped his feet.

The third one was purely played by RNG himself.

In addition, SDG seemed to know that their chances of winning were slim, so they put down their burdens and played the best of the three.

But just when the fans of the SDG team rekindled their hopes on the spot and even before the live broadcast, RNG's fourth game once again made them despair.

RNG, who had lost a lot of money, was obviously more rigorous, corrected a lot of problems, and won the duel steadily.

3:1.

The script was exactly the same as what Li Luo proposed.

Brother Shengqiang and Xiangguo made faces bitter.

But they already knew the result when RNG lost the third game.

Professional players look at things from a different angle than gamers.

Players will trust their eyes and judgment.

Professional players are more inclined to their own understanding of a certain team and their professional experience.

BO3 and BO5 are two completely different games in the professional arena.

This is an unchanging fact of the League of Legends competition.

Some teams were tortured by blood in BO3, but in BO5 they could just come back.

Ordinary players don't understand it, but professional players and commentators in the circle know it.

On this stage, facing the crowd of fans and spectators several times more than in the regular season, the psychological pressure the players bear is completely different.

They are all [-] or [-] years old, how many [-] or [-]-year-old Internet addicts can have the ability to face the mentality of countless fans without making any waves?

After the game, what was more interesting was that Xiaohu started talking nonsense again in the post-match interview. He directly asked Xiye to wash his neck and prepare to use it as his power bank.

When everyone in Thorn Bird looked at Xi Ye with smiles on their faces, Xi Ye just spread his hands innocently.

The night before the match between Thorn Bird and RNG.

In the RNG base, there was a roar from Xiaohu: "Fuck, you are not a person, you are not a person!!"

Just now, the official issued the big list of both sides for tomorrow's game.

Xi Ye, who was firmly seated in the starting line-up for Thorn Bird, was replaced in this game...
