Chapter 270 Imp: He and I have never lost in BO5


Most LPL viewers hope that Ye Tian can win an unprecedented three consecutive championships, tie Faker in the number of championships, and create a record that even Faker has not reached.

But most clubs, including LPL clubs, don't want to see this scene.

——The traffic has been sucked away by Ye Tian alone, what will the rest of the people eat?

Riot Games is watching Ye Tian weaken for the same reason.

Although Ye Tian's achievements at this time are not enough to completely overturn the ecological environment of the League of Legends competition, with the strength Ye Tian has shown, the second consecutive championship + the second consecutive FMVP is definitely not the end.

If restrictions are not imposed early, it will definitely lead to an imbalance in which Ye Tian's family is the only one, and all other professional players will become companions, and they will not even get much salary.

Therefore, during the winter transfer period, major clubs tried their best to retain the teams they considered to be the most capable.

In the LPL division, only coach Jin Jingzhu of IG has left the team, and other positions remain unchanged. Theshy, Ning, Rookie, Jackeylove, Baolan and substitute player West all remain.

RNG issued an official announcement on the first day of the transfer period, denying the rumors that "RNG will fall apart", stating that it has renewed the contracts of all players and will use the lineup that won the whole year before the S8 finals to compete in S9.

EDG also made no adjustments.

It usually costs a lot of money to renew the contract of the championship team. Even if the contract has not expired, in order to avoid popular sentiment, the salary in the second year is bound to increase.

Champion players who become free agents after their contracts expire will be poached by other clubs at high prices. No matter how unwilling the original club is, it will be difficult to spend enough budget to fight for them.

EDG is a very special exception.

Compared with other "genuine" champions, EDG members have empty championship titles and do not have corresponding worth.

After all, regardless of Ye Tian, ​​the rest of the group together are only second or third-rate in the world. Although players of this level are the backbone of most clubs, it is still beyond the power to achieve major competition results with such players as the core. , not worth paying too much.

What's more, EDG members have no intention of selling at any price, and each one has a stronger desire to stay with the team. Ray, who performed poorly in the late summer split, would rather take the initiative to cut his salary than follow his brothers for another year.

The first-tier clubs remain intact.

The hands and feet of the second-tier clubs are much bigger.

The TOP team invited Bai Yueya as the head coach. The top laner is Cuttlefish and 369, the jungler is XX, the mid laner is the golden left hand, the ADs are LokeN and QiuQqiu, and the assistants are Ben and Mao Huang, who used to partner with his brother-in-law.

There is competition for three of the five positions, which shows how intense the competition is.

JDG, which has achieved good results, introduced Vietnamese soldiers and formed a lineup of top laner Zoom, jungler Levi, mid laner Toothpaste, bottom lane Imp + Green Hair.

The little lion Suning is the top laner Langxing, the jungler H4cker, the mid laner Maple, the bottom lane Sima Laothief + the assistant Snake, and is regarded as a new generation of powerful players who may make a difference next season.

at last.

It is the third echelon that is considered open.

BLG was not willing to spend money and only bought the Korean nonaka pair ADD+Kuro.

ADD born in 1998 is a little better.

Kuro, who was born on January 4, 1994, is about to turn 25. Judging from the career of a League of Legends player, most of his body has been buried in the soil, and he has almost no competitiveness in the competition. This shows that BLG still insists on testing the waters. There is no higher pursuit in mind.

In addition to the top laner Shengqiangge and the jungler sofm, the Snake team is pretty good. The mid laners Andy and Mala, and the bottom lane Asura + assistant Maestro are unknown.

WE, which has transformed from "Yu Sanjia" to a nursing home, is not much better. The IDs of top laner 957, mid laner Xiye, ADC brother-in-law, assistant Missing, and jungler Magic look okay, but their performance on the field is far from their peak. , I can only drag out the smile that has been retired for many years and become a coach to sell my feelings.

VG stopped selling after Monkey in the Year of the Monkey and Rooster in the Year of the Rooster. It failed to meet the audience’s expectations for Dog in the Year of the Dog and Pig in the Year of the Pig, and was completely reduced to scraps.

OMG it's still Leng Shao Icon with his old team.

The first generation of Rogue Warrior RW is gone, with not a single card left.

Little Phoenix FPX did not attract much attention either. Top laner GimGoon and Mouse, jungler Xiaotian, mid laner Doinb, bottom laner LWX+Liu Qingsong, but judging from the historical performance of these people, combined together, they are probably in the lower reaches of the division. level.

Xinjun V5 and SDG... two words, just as they happen.

"FPX is not that simple."

Ye Tian looked through the analysis post written by a person named "Pang Dings" in the forum and shook his head.

"These people in FPX are very strong?" The attitude was not very understandable: "Jin Gong was good before, but now he is an old guy. A Guang is just for advertising. LWX is a smart guy at first glance. Monkey and Cong YM The Xiaotian who came out is just average, right?”

Assist Liu Qingsong?

It's not bad.

However, there are economic shortcomings in the auxiliary position, making it difficult to widen the qualitative gap.

Not to mention that everyone's overall knowledge and understanding are on the same level. Even MadLife, which redefined support back then, could only upgrade support from a pendant to 0.5 people.

"You'll know just by looking at it this season."

Ye Tian did not analyze it in detail, and simply let the gesture see the results.

If IG in S8 is the pinnacle of personal strength, FPX in S9 is the pinnacle of teamwork.

The former plays heroes, and the latter plays alliance.

The designer has been pursuing a hundred flowers blooming, which has given FPX enough room for flexibility. A series of play methods such as upper and mid position replacement, splitting, switching, linkage between midfielders and auxiliary, four-pack and two-cross towers have allowed FPX to win in the world championship. There is no disadvantage, even the arrogant G2 that spans Europe has no ability to resist.

but.

This year's G2 has a little easter egg.

In addition to poaching the new generation king Caps from FNC, they also lured Able (the A monster) from the LPL division, allowing RNG's substitute AD and AP, who have been in ruins for nearly a season, to compete for positions.

What's even more interesting is.

Caps complained bitterly during the live broadcast, saying that FNC's play and tactics are too rigid and always the same, and the team's performance is not very good. The reason for winning two division championships is that the opponent is too weak, and the training of other FNC players His attitude was too casual, and he made a series of complaints such as going on a date with his girlfriend after completing the required training matches.

One last sentence - we have been troubled by problems for a long time, but no one is willing to take the initiative to solve them, so I have to leave.

He ran away from the ancient giant FNC and left such words. If he does not achieve good enough results in the new year, Caps will definitely become the target of criticism from the European audience. From the new generation king of high hopes to a human People shouting about beating up clowns.

Compared with the LPL, where the leading team remains unchanged, and Europe and the United States, which are generally competitive, the LCK's drastic actions have attracted more attention.

In the two seasons of S7 and S8, LCK suffered its first defeat in the world championship, and then was completely wiped out in the entire year of competitions. It lost the strength of the first division, making the existing star players particularly valuable, with more or less worth. of rise.

Especially for the top order position, the salary has basically doubled.

The reason is simple.

Both LPL championships were won by Ye Tian on C, and outside of these two world finals, Letme's performance was also quite impressive. If the LCK wants to regain its former honor, it must invest more in the top lane.

As for the problem that people like Smeb, Khan, Kiin, and CuVee can't stand up to Ye Tian... LCK has to face more than just Ye Tian. Theshy and Letme are all opponents that need to be considered!

Even if you can't win the S game, it's okay if you can find a place for the LCK in MSI or intercontinental games! It's a bit shameful to say it.

But this is indeed the idea of ​​​​the LCK club.

It is the same as the previous view that as long as the LPL can win the LCK once, no matter what the game is, it is worth celebrating.

As the strongest team in the LCK division, Triple Crown club SKT has made a drastic reorganization. One of the bottom lane combinations has gone to 100T, and the other has become a free agent. Khan has been introduced in the top lane, and two offensive players, Clid and Haru, have been introduced in the jungle. The AD position has been changed. As Teddy, the assistant dug out Mata from KT Galaxy, and also hired two coaches Kim Sang-chul and Zefa to work with KkOma, which shows how high the expectations for the new season are.

KZ, KT, Gen.G, AFs, and HLE have also joined the competition. The famous LCK players are basically circulating in these teams.

Finally, KZ signed Pawn and Deft.

KT signs BDD.

Gen.G bought small peanuts.

When everything is settled, the S9 Spring Split officially begins.

In this Spring Split, LPL has once again carried out reforms, canceling the former East-West grouping and turning into a single-cycle model without grouping. This distribution avoids the uneven strength of different groups to the greatest extent, and prevents strong teams from being buried and weak teams from being buried. Instead, they advanced to the playoffs.

The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!

At the same time, the playoff rules have also been changed. They are grouped according to the rankings of 1, 4, 5, 8 and 2, 3, 6, 7. The teams ranked seventh and eighth do not need to give up the first start, and all they lose is The priority for side selection is much fairer than the previous regulations.

The player's performance basically met the audience's expectations. Theshy, who only lost to Ye Tian, ​​showed unparalleled strength in the S9 season, overwhelming all active top laners, even Duke, who ranked second in comprehensive statistics. Zoom, facing Theshy, was only able to parry and had no ability to fight back.

The only exception is Jin Gong.

Facing Theshy, a top top laner who is still in his prime, the elderly Jin Gong can always stabilize his position, and even achieves a higher damage ratio than Theshy even when the economy is lagging behind. The cooperation in other positions of FPX is even more impressive. Perfect, ranking first in the LPL with a 13-2 overall record in the regular season.

IG and TOP teams are both 11-4, tied for second.

RNG and WE were tied for fourth with a record of 10-5.

EDG, SDG and JDG were tied for sixth place, making up just eight teams entering the playoffs.

Then.

A dramatic scene occurred.

JDG faced WE in the first round of the playoffs and took a 3-1 lead, which was expected by most people in the industry.

Because WE fell to the second to last position in the LPL in the first half of the season, its ability to counterattack and enter the playoffs was all due to Xiye's explosion and brother-in-law's return to glory. The terms "outbreak" and "return to glory" here are also mixed with other teams for the playoffs. Practice heroes and tactical elements.

In other words, most of the teams that can safely enter the playoffs by calculating their points in advance have reservations. However, WE not only tried their best, but also relied on the personal abilities of Double C. The more important point is that Xiye and Brother-in-law If you can't achieve the dominance of peak Theshy, the C position of a strong team can basically handle it.

But.

JDG faced RNG, and in the adversity of falling behind 1-2, they turned the score to 3-2, which is amazing.

"Review?"

"Logically speaking, there is no need for me to review RNG's game."

Ye Tian finished his explanation from a neutral point of view and responded to the audience's request: "Reviewing the game must point out problems. I have conflicts with some RNG players. It is easy to be targeted during the review. The speaker has no intention and the listener has intention. Everyone Everybody knows.”

"But... I really have something to say."

"Without mentioning the specific ID and lane, let's take a look at the lineup. You can find that RNG left counter positions for the top lane twice and took out heroes who were countered by the opponent. It is undeniable that Letme's current carry ability It’s not as good as Zoom, but it’s not that reasonable to give up the laning completely and only think about resisting pressure and teamfighting – even if the laning is gone, how can we talk about team battles?”

"When other teams are playing against EDG, all they want to do is resist my line first, right?"

[RNG is the most deformed team, thinking only about bathing the dog]

[Four guarantees and one are easy to use, but you can’t beat a strong team]

[The water army is bragging, I really thought that Bathing Dog is the world’s No. 1 ADC, what did they give away last year]

[The god-making plan is addicted. Now RNG doesn’t care about results at all. It can make money by marketing Bathing Dog and All-China Class. As long as Bathing Dog’s data is improved, nothing else matters]

Part of the barrage was fired at UZI, causing a lot of controversy.

[Can this also hack UZI? I wonder if it doesn’t work in other positions of RNG? 】

[Letme is beaten by an average of over 60 dollars per game against G2, and over 80 dollars per game against JDG. Who can lead them? 】

[Isn’t that the result of being sucked by a dog in the bath? Can I play 1v2 on the road? In a 3-on-2 battle in the bottom lane, Bathing Dog can only trade heads with Imp. How dare he say that he is behind by more than ten dollars in the top lane during the laning phase? 】

[Letme knows that its own jungler cannot come, and Zoom also knows that RNG’s jungler cannot come. In this situation, it is estimated that only Brother Tian can win, and Theshy may not be able to withstand it]

[Can I win if I just protect my brother? Lose faster! It’s because Rangdi and Cowardly Tiger are both F5s that we count on UZI alone】

[The longer the top lane drags, the more difficult it is to beat. If you don’t break through from the bottom lane, you will lose sooner or later. It’s not that RNG protects UZI, but it’s because UZI can’t play if it doesn’t protect UZI. To put it bluntly, it means that hard power is not good, and it is no match for JDG]

[Imp: I played BO5 with UZI and never lost]

[I have never lost in BO5, what about BO3? Let UZI be beaten to the curb】

[Have you played three BO5s in so many years? Are you embarrassed to brag about it? I don’t know how many times I thought I had won]

[The bathing dog beat Jack with two BO5s and dared to brag about it. Imp won the bathing dog with three BO5s and it was not enough. GSL classic double standard]

Ye Tian pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him and was unconcerned, and did not get involved.

If the RNG in the S8 season was to allow UZI to perform and compressed the space for others to perform, then in the RNG in the S9 season only UZI could C, so it is reasonable to tilt resources to UZI.

As for the lack of C in other positions, is it a sequelae of playing games around UZI for a long time... This is a more idealistic question.

and.

This issue is not important to Ye Tian.

What matters is the ecological environment of the top laner in the S9 season.

In the S8 season, the designers directly cut off the top laner's performance in split pushing, thinking that it would break Ye Tian's arm, but the effect was minimal.

After careful consideration, the designer worked hard to improve the status of the developmental top laner in the S9 season. The signs have already appeared in the past few months of the regular season. It is foreseeable that the S9 finals will inevitably be dominated by the captain and Kyle in the late series. Heroes are the mainstream.

From a designer's point of view, such an ecological environment can not only limit the super top laner to rely on his personal ability to make breakthroughs, but also limit the offensive team's fast-moving style of play, weakening Ye Tian, ​​Theshy and even all the strong LPL teams. , benefiting the LCK, which has been dormant for two years, and Europe and the United States, which have never made a splash.

But the designer would never have imagined that compared to the fact that S8 limited Ye Tian's hero pool, the design of S9 played exactly into Ye Tian's hands... (End of Chapter)
