Dean, stop being C, your teammates are not worthy!

Chapter 231 - Battle of Giants, Teacher Omu

(There is still 300 monthly tickets to reach 1,000. If I can get enough, I will add 5,000 words, brothers)

The first game ended without any surprises.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no need for any tactics at all. From the beginning of the laning phase, the Japanese team was defeated.

This method of collapse is the most helpless...

Players who are proficient in RPG games know that it is crucial to be able to withstand the BOSS in the front row. As long as you can withstand a blow and carry out strategies through coordination, tactics, and formation switching, you have the possibility of success.

On the contrary, if it's gone in seconds with one strike, then there's nothing much to say, just go back to leveling up.

In the same way, if you can’t even survive the laning phase, how can you talk about tactics, routines, and team fights?

So in the second game, the Japanese team came up with a more desperate lineup.

Double jungler.

Black technology routines, but unfortunately, no one has ever stipulated that black technology will definitely work.

In the second game, the Chinese team played a substitute in the middle field.

In front of the wily Mingkai, even in the early stage of one versus two, he did not suffer too much. Instead, he chose to grab the tower jump at the second level, directly sending the Japanese team's ADC back to his hometown.

This strange move of the Japanese team did not achieve any results. On the contrary, it made their collapse even worse, and they were beaten directly by Wuling Hongguang.

The gap in strength is too big, the battle scenes are too cruel... Many Japanese viewers see this, no matter how passionate they are, they have no hope for their own e-sports.

On the Chinese side, it was natural to celebrate like the Chinese New Year, with all kinds of prank emojis coming out.

Especially Ceros, who has gone from Japan's little Faker to Japan's little ruler.

Of course, it has nothing to do with Ruler, it's mainly about his ruler, which is so funny.

Before the game, seeing the fancy lineup of the Chinese team, some spectators with a relatively pessimistic personality were worried that they would lose this game. If they lose to the Japanese team, the five people on the field will probably be hacked and the game will be shut down.

But it turned out that this was unfounded.

Because, except for the era before S3 when professionalism was not yet available, until now, LPL teams have never lost to wild card teams.

Historically, why was Mingkai S6 so hacked?

In addition to examples such as Horse Stepping on Flying Arrow, 4396, etc., the most important thing is that EDG, a team that won the summer split and won the championship, actually created a historical precedent and lost to a wild card team in an upset.

This makes the audience who have high hopes for the three LPL teams not to be disappointed and angry?

Even the leader in the division lost so miserably, which had a huge impact on morale.

Every year, the No. 1 seed in the division carries the greatest hopes, and once they lose, they get the loudest insults.

Of course... 2016 was indeed the year of the rise of wild card teams. It was not only the LPL that lost wild cards, but also the LCK.

The strength of the wild card division has begun to catch up with the five major divisions, not to mention surpassing it, but if you underestimate the enemy, you may be hunted by these giant shooters.

After the game, there was a routine handshake session.

"Thank you for your advice, Yuan Sang!"

Seeing the Evi player who lost the game but still managed to cheer up, smiled, shook hands with himself, and then bowed 90 degrees, Yuan Shen was a little dazed for a moment.

To be fair... unless they are two teams with a particularly good relationship, the losing team's handshake is really just a token of appreciation. It makes me very embarrassed that you are so formal and polite.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Yuan Shen also responded with standard etiquette, but of course, he did not bow.

A handshake, a smile, a nod.

The schedule is very tight.

A team that aims to win the championship must play at least more than a hundred games in half a month, with at least six small rounds every day, and three B02 games.

Basically, there is no halftime.

As soon as Yuan Shen and the others got out, they passed by the next team coming to compete in the player tunnel.

Coincidentally, almost all of this team are old acquaintances.

Korean team.

"Yuan Shen!"

"Xianghe?!"

The moment they saw their opponent, Yuan Shen and Faker turned their attention to each other almost at the same time.

The two of them have met on the field several times.

There is no conflict between them, they just regard their opponents as their biggest enemies.

Uzi on the side wanted to say hello, but Faker didn't even look at him, just stared at Yuan Shen.

Seeing this scene, Xiangguo couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

"Yuan Shen, ClearLove, Anihasa!" Faker said hello proactively.

He was very impressed with these two opponents who had defeated him.

"Long time no see." Yuan Shen smiled.

"Faker, Hello!" Ming Kai also smiled.

A few people exchanged brief greetings. Because time was tight and the Korean team was about to play, they could only wait until next time to talk.

Just before parting, Smeb suddenly said a few words in Korean to Yuan Shen.

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Yuan Shen looked at Ming Kai blankly.

It's just that Mingkai's Korean is also a second-guessing skill. Looking back over and over again, he only understands one word called "peace"...

No, it's a conspiracy.

"He said he will definitely defeat you this time! A bag of actresses can carry several floors, and Shinra will add more!"

Meiko helped translate.

But obviously, the latter sentence was added by himself.

"Forehead……"

Yuan Shen's expression was very complicated.

He has been a jungler for half a year, why do these top laners always want to take him down?

Flandre is, Smeb is too.

Was I so hated last year? ?

He didn't say anything harsh, he just replied lightly...

"Wait and see, don't let me down this time! Song Jinghao."

When he heard Yuan Shen call out his name, Smeb was obviously a little surprised.

He didn't expect Yuan Shen to remember his name, which made him feel a little...

Flattered? !

The competition was in full swing.

Although domestic TV stations do not broadcast e-sports related competitions, there is no such restriction abroad.

The Olympic Committee was surprised to find that the ratings of e-sports have caught up with some second-tier projects in traditional sports.

If the online live broadcasts that are more commonly used by young people are included, its popularity even exceeds some popular sports.

This made some opponents in the Olympic Committee speechless.

In the early days of e-sports, there was great resistance. Opponents said that there were too many violent factors in e-sports and it did not fit the theme of the Olympics, but this is just nonsense.

If e-sports is considered a violent factor, then what about fencing, javelin, and shooting?

A means of maintaining peace by fighting violence with violence?

It is ultimately a question of influence and interests.

If e-sports can bring enough benefits to the Olympics, these are not a problem at all.

You know, every time a country or city hosts the Olympics, few of them do not lose money.

Especially for those places that hosted the Olympics for the first time, it is unknown when the sports venues that were built with a lot of manpower and material resources will be used next time.

And now the popularity of e-sports has undoubtedly relieved the supporters and made them look more proud.

The popularity of e-sports has also increased the popularity of other events.

This is just the group stage. When it comes to the knockout stage, the popularity is bound to rise further.

If it weren't for the fact that e-sports games generally have a short lifespan and Riot Games is a private company, the Olympic Committee would want to include e-sports directly in the official program, rather than just a show game, just based on the popularity and heat.

The Chinese team continued to be unstoppable in the subsequent group stage, winning all the games in the first three days and taking all the points.

There is no team that can match this dream team.

The ratio of starting players to substitutes is roughly four to six.

Before encountering a real strong enemy, substitute players are enough.

Besides, who says substitutes are necessarily weaker than starters?

The purpose of the ten-man roster is to allow players to have a good rest, and it can also better reflect the foundation of a country's e-sports strength.

For those countries that can't even get five players together, they have to pull gold players to make up the number. Isn't it embarrassing for you to ask them to find ten people?

There is no way.

Even if they lose, these five people have to lose a hundred games.

You chose it, idol.

However, the Chinese team is not the only one that stands out.

There are two other teams that also showed amazing dominance in the group.

That is the North American team and the Korean team.

The terrifying dominance of these three teams has been praised by netizens as the Big Three of this Olympics.

Facing these three teams, all the teams are desperate just to figure out how to survive the laning phase.

On the fourth day of the group stage, the Big Three met.

The North American team will face the other two giants today.

The first to bear the brunt is the China-US battle.

"North American All-Stars!!"

The Chinese team has always had a relaxed and happy atmosphere, but for the first time it has become solemn.

European and American bastards, this is a phrase that LPL fans often say.

So many professional players who have never played in the world championship abroad believe it, thinking that European and American teams are really bad and can be abused at will.

But this does not include the professional players in the team.

Except for Xiang Guo and Flando, the other eight have played in world-class competitions and are not unfamiliar with European and American players.

(Xiye played IEM9)

European and American players are not inferior to the top Asian players in terms of personal ability and gaming talent. The reason why they performed so poorly in the world championship is because... insufficient training.

Especially the North American teams, just like the army they are called "cream soldiers", are well-known for their relaxed training. Many North American players train for no more than five hours a day and only need to play one BO1 a week to rest. It can be called a retirement sanctuary.

Insufficient training means that their competitive state is very unstable. Even the most well-known Big Brother and Bjergsen are nervous players.

At the same time, this also means that the teamwork in North America is not as good as that in other regions.

But these two shortcomings are infinitely reduced in front of the Olympic competition system.

Because everyone is an all-star team that has been dismantled and reorganized. In just a few weeks of training time, how strong can the teamwork be?

Once the competitive state of North American players is stable, they will be the top team.

Therefore, in the eyes of insiders, the win-loss ratio of this game is about 64.

"Welcome to the Olympic Exhibition Match, the fourth day of the League of Legends group stage. I am the commentator, Ji De. Today, I and Mr. Miller will comment on the match for you." Ji De appeared on camera in a suit and tie, looking energetic. Next to him stood Miller, who looked exhausted.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Miller." Miller loosened his tie, looking helpless.

"Let me tell you something. We are at the match site in Rio de Janeiro. It's really hot here. The indoor temperature is almost 30 degrees... I just went to see the players and walked around the private room in the lounge. It was so stuffy inside.

"Wow, are the players so hard?"

Ji De looked surprised. The two of them just got off the plane and rushed to the scene today. This is the first time he knows about this.

"Especially Xiao Gou. He was sweating before the fight started, and his cheeks were red. It seems that we won't see Xiao Gou beating up Senior Brother today. I hope everyone can understand. ”

Doublelift, also a severe dog phobia patient.

Like Ou Cheng, they are the two biggest fans of Uzi in Europe and the United States.

Miller shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, let's get to the point. Today will be our team's first major challenge in this Olympics. Everyone is familiar with our own players, so I won't introduce them one by one. There are several points that must be vigilant about the North American players.

"Top laner Impact, SKT's first generation top laner general, the owner of Jax's champion skin. Teacher Oak has been a strong contender for the top laner in North America since last year. Compared with other North American players whose status has been up and down, his status has been very stable. He now plays for the C9 team and is a very stable Cary point."

"However, with Yuan Shen here, the top laner is the point we don't need to worry about in a strong confrontation.

Remember to nod with deep agreement, and then said: "Let's not talk about Xmithie. MSI just ended, everyone is very familiar with him, be careful of his blind monk. Kakao is also very familiar to everyone. He is the S5 champion jungler and Yuan Shen’s former teammate. But Kakao was crazy about farming top lane before. I don’t know if he will be crazy about ganking top lane today...”

“As for the bottom lane, Big Brother and Xiaogou are old rivals. Judging from their historical win rates, we don’t have to worry about Xiaogou, but it is likely that Jack will play today. I think among the five lanes, the one we need to pay most attention to is the mid laner. This time, Wei Shen will face Bjersen, the top mid laner in North America. ”

“Bjergsen has been in great form recently, can Wei Shen prove himself?”

As the two were talking, the game had already entered the Banpick phase.

The North American team on the blue side banned Vladimir, Nami, and Jayce.

The Chinese team on the red side blocked Bard, Elise, and Tam.

From the BP point of view, the Big Three, who had been bullying the noobs for several days, are finally going to get serious. A few days ago, the three teams were showing off their hero pools in a fancy way, letting themselves go, such as Lucian on the top lane, Vayne in the middle lane, Rat + Snake Lady on the bottom lane, and Gragas + Yasuo.

Since both sides have studied each other for a long time, the lineups were selected very quickly .

Soon, the lineups of both teams were finalized.

"The red side of the Chinese team:

Top lane Yuanshen: Rune Mage - Ryze

Jungle MLXG: Berserker - Olaf

Mid lane GODV: Swift Sword Master - Yasuo

Bottom lane JackeyLove: Holy Lance Ranger - Lucian

Support Ming: Minotaur - Alistar

The blue side of the North American team:

Top lane Impact: Heart of Fury - Kennen

Jungle Kakao: Lee Sin - Lee Sin

Mid lane Bjersen: Shadow Master - Zed

Bottom lane Doublelift: Jhin

Support Olleh: Void Prophet - Malzahar. ”

The North American team got this combination in the bottom lane and smiled very happily, especially the eldest brother, who couldn't hide his joy on his face.

In the summer season, with the weakening of other ADC heroes, Jhin gradually became the son of the T1 level of the version.

In the auxiliary position, the number one auxiliary is still Jyra, but there are heroes like Nami to compete.

The number one auxiliary is no longer Minotaur, and the early damage reduction of Minotaur's ultimate skill has been weakened...

The current number one auxiliary has become the Void Prophet Malzahar.

This hero was reworked in the spring season and was soon developed to the jungle position. However, with the weakening of the AP jungle knife, it was developed to the auxiliary position again.

Immediately, as if he had found the most suitable position for himself, he immediately became the number one auxiliary in the current version.

This hero The laning ability is too strong, and the summoned ethereals have very high damage. If no one retreats and stands to attack, no combination can beat the side with Malzahar.

At level 6, Malzahar's deterrence is even higher. Facing the ultimate move of the grasshopper, in order to have a higher margin of error, two Mercury's Treads are often made.

Of course, if the hero Tam is on the field, only Tam himself needs to make one.

But when Tam is banned, facing the threat of Malzahar, the opponent often makes two or three Mercury's Treads.

What is the concept?

In order to deal with a support, at least 2400 or even 3600 economy must be paid...

How can the North American bottom lane not be happy to get two of the version's favorite sons?

The reaction of the big brother is very interesting.

Uzi did not play, and the thing he had been worried about did not happen.

Although his opponent Jack is very strong, he has the blessing of the version and is not afraid at all!

As for the top, middle and junglers on both sides, they all have heroes that are very powerful. The attributes of the heroes are 50-50, and it basically depends on the operation.

Wei Shen's Yasuo is one of his signature heroes.

And Yuan Shen’s Ryze…

"Is this the first time Yuan Shen has brought out the new version of Ryze?"

Miller said with interest: "Yuan Shen's speed in training heroes is no longer a secret in the professional circle. Many new heroes have been played by him as soon as they come out... I wonder if his Ryze can What kind of surprise does it bring us?”

"That's right, the previous Sword Lady, Captain, Illaoi, Hole Sucker, and later Kindred, Yuan Shen all brought us great surprises. I don't know how much Yuan Shen has mastered the new version of Ryze. "

Following the MSI finals, there is another showdown between China and the United States.

Under the spotlight, the scenery of Summoner's Rift comes into view.

In fact, among the several versions of Ryze, the one Yuan Shen is best at is the current Ryze.

the reason is simple.

This version of Ryze has been redone very successfully, and it is also the version that has been around for the longest time.

The more you play, the higher your proficiency will be.

Ryze's entry-level outfit is generally blue crystal + two reds, and his talents are Storm Knight's Surge, runes...

"...What a strange rune."

As soon as they went online, Impact discovered a problem with the opponent's runes.

The new version of Ryze is a favorite in the game. It is compatible with both top and middle positions, making it a popular version.

Impact has naturally studied it a lot, and I have quite a lot of experience... Generally speaking, Ryze usually has red magic penetration, yellow is more stable and has armor, and greed is more to increase health. When fighting AP heroes, blue glyphs are definitely It needs magic resistance, and the essence has three movement speeds.

Therefore, when Blue Crystal is out, Ryze's spell power at level 1 should be zero.

However, Yuan Shen's Ryze and Blue Crystal have more than ten points of spell power, and their armor and magic resistance are relatively low.

Faced with a hero like Kennen who suffered mixed damage in the early stage, did you choose to increase your health and ability strength?

The more elite the competition, the more important are the details that can affect even one percent of the winning rate.

From the rune talent, it is easy to see the attitude of the opponent.

In your eyes, am I so non-threatening?

Impact has never played against Yuan Shen so far. I only heard his name and felt respect and caution in my heart, but absolutely no fear. Naturally, I felt unhappy when the other party looked down upon me in such a detail.

They are all world champion top laners, what are you pretending to be?

If it weren't for the top lane version last year, and you had a top jungler like Kakao, how would it be possible for you to win the championship FMVP?

There was no hero at that time, so Zhuzi became famous.

Now, Kakao is his jungler, what he wants Kakao to do, he...

He may not necessarily listen, but he can communicate.

Ahem...

"hehe."

As the times progress, the meanings of many words have become quite subtle.

For example, Miss.

For example, gay.

For example, flowers.

Also like...hehe.

Imapct took a deep breath, and the anger of being underestimated appeared in his narrow eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of SKT's second-generation player Marin and third-generation player Duke who were defeated by the man on the opposite side. He instantly felt that he was not fighting alone.

Yuan Shen didn't know that Teacher Damu had so many inner dramas. The reason why he wore the runes like this was because he had an ulterior motive other than confidence in his positioning.

The two sides' military lines just came into contact.

Aiming at Kennan's small move of leaning forward to finish the attack, Yuan Shen stepped forward in two steps, A followed by W, and then followed by a flat A.

[Storm Rider's Surge] trigger, accelerate!

"???"

Impact looked confused, "Can AWA trigger Wind Rider?"

Just as Kennen turned around and hit Ryze, he saw the opponent quickly retreating from the vicinity of the soldier line, and the hatred of the soldiers did not even have time to transfer.

Since Ryze's wave of initiative was across the line of soldiers, Kennen Q couldn't hit at all. Without one skill, the exchange of blood would have been a loss. In addition, he hit Ryze with A and was immediately attracted by the minions. Hatred.

Kennan retreated quickly, leaving the minion hate zone, and his health dropped by nearly 40%.

"……I see."

Impact quickly realized how this magic worked.

Storm Rider's Surge is very similar to the later Phase Dive in effect, but the trigger conditions are different.

Phase dive only needs to complete three skills to hit the enemy within two seconds to trigger, while Wind Rider needs to cause more than 30% health damage to the enemy within 2.5 seconds to trigger.

With Ryze using normal runes, AWA couldn't knock out 30% of Kennen's health at level 1.

The combination of magic power + magic penetration in the runes, such high-risk and high-damage runes, made this magic possible.

After the first wave of blood exchanges was successful, and after taking advantage of the blood volume, Ryze was unyielding and attacked the enemy line whenever he had the opportunity.

The blood exchanges were very frequent and aggressive. Yuan Shen played the Thunder King in the mid-to-late game, but he was extremely aggressive in the early game.

With each change, Impact could not help but tighten his grip on the mouse, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Damn it, he...he is so strong!

I can't stand it anymore.

Bing Quan, come quickly! !

The understanding of the range of the creeps' hatred, the timing of consuming and last-hitting, the accuracy of skill release and positioning, everything is textbook-level.

Impact put himself in the other's shoes and could not find any mistakes or flaws in the opponent's operation. No... To be more precise, he did not have the confidence to reach this level, and it was difficult to even imitate!

Seeing is believing.

After the real battle on the line, unless the opponent deliberately hides his weakness, you can quickly understand the opponent's level from various details.

Damn, with this level, you go to play a chicken feather jungle? ?

Impact does not understand it.

In fact, many viewers do not understand it either.

The strength shown by Yuan Shen recently is definitely a super top-line single.

He is still a strong contender for the title of the world's No. 1 top.

But such a person actually switched to jungle?

Although Yuan Shen is also very strong in jungle, it is obvious that he has not reached the level of his top.

There are many people competing with him for the title of the world's No. 1 jungle.

He is not as far away as he showed in the top position.

In fact, Yuan Shen switched to jungle just to win the game better.

The changes in the version, the rise of junglers and supports, the marginalization of top laners...

In addition, the jungler position can better conduct early-stage command, which makes IG stronger.

In other words, Yuan Shen plays a greater role in the jungle position than in the top lane position!

The top laner in S6 has a feeling of leaving the victory or defeat to his teammates.

And the mid and jungle are the real core of dominating the game.

If Yuan Shen is still the top laner, IG will definitely not be able to win the spring season and win the championship with only one small loss in MSI.

…

Ryze stepped forward and attacked Kennen, and then.

Spell surge.

The E skill was pressed, and a light blue magic ball hit the soldier with a layer of surge effect on his body, instantly spreading the surge to all nearby enemy units.

Impact was caught off guard by the surge and was about to retreat quickly, but it was too late.

Q skill, overload!

The dark blue orb hit a soldier unit with the surge effect, and it spread like a domino effect. All the units with surge around it were immediately overloaded with damage, resulting in a spell crit, increasing the damage by 50%.

This little magic trick, like hitting a bull from a distance, is also one of Ryze's tricks to consume the line.

This is not over yet. After dealing AEQ damage within 2.5 seconds, Ryze triggered the wind rider and stepped forward quickly.

Kennen turned around and threw Q, trying to force Ryze back.

But Yuan Shen ignored this fancy method. He took two steps forward and took the damage hard. At the same time, he used the WEQ combo to trigger the passive shield and acceleration of the Q skill.

Although Kennen also dealt a set of damage, he didn't hit Ryze much blood when Ryze triggered the shield. On the contrary, Ryze accelerated and turned around to escape. Even if Kennen activated [Thunder Seal], he couldn't keep up with the subsequent damage.

Many Ryze novices have a misunderstanding.

Since Ryze's W and E skills will reset the cooldown of Q, many people will be greedy for damage and use the QWQEQ combo to consume.

However, this combo is too unstable. The control time of W is insufficient, and the second Q is easily dodged.

Once the second Q is dodged, it cannot trigger the surge of spell crit. From the three aspects of damage, stability, and shield refresh efficiency, it is not as good as the WEQ combo.

"Teacher Oak lost a lot of blood in this wave of blood exchange!!"

Remember to say loudly: "Supplies are used up, less than half of the blood, a very dangerous blood volume... Teacher Oak's choice here is very stable, directly return to the city, it seems that he intends to use TP to protect his own development."

"At level 3, he knocked down a TP in the position. Wow, it actually proves that whether it is a wild card or a top player in the North American division, Yuan Shen can gain an advantage in the line."

No matter how many times he watched it, Miller would be pleased and amazed by this laning ability.

Last hits, consumption, positioning, everything is natural, smooth and natural.

It's so pleasing to the eye.

The last time you were able to do this was when you were invincible at your peak—smile.

But you have to know that was the S2 period, which was still in the desert stage. How could the players at that time be compared with today?

The next moment, as the director switched the perspective, Miller frowned slightly.

The situation on the other roads did not seem to be so smooth...
