"Got it!"
Caps thinks he understands Ye Tian's style very well: "I compete with them for the small cannon, and the small cannon may go to the ban position. As long as the small cannon goes to the ban position, we will swing in the middle and top, allowing you to switch to the middle to start the rhythm."
In terms of rhythm ability, Caps is sure to have the upper hand even if he encounters this year's Faker.
Faker's ability to see the overall situation with five cuts per second is truly unique among the mid laners, and it is difficult for other players to match it.
But understanding the overall situation does not mean being able to support the overall situation.
No matter how clear the calculation is, if you want to put it into action, it still depends on whether your fist is strong enough.
Meeting Ye Tian was another matter.
Ordinary viewers can only see intuitive information such as Ye Tian's power-level performance in the World Championship and the fact that the six-pointed star data exceeds the border several times, but cannot judge how strong Ye Tian is.
Only masters like Caps have the ability to accurately measure Ye Tian's strength - other professional players can only achieve 60-80 points with heroes with low proficiency. Only the heroes with the best unique skills can strive to reach the set points. The upper limit, and Ye Tian can reach the upper limit with just one shot.
Put it in simple and straightforward terms.
Other pros have to work their butts off just to hit the ceiling once in a while.
Ye Tian has been standing on the ceiling.
The gap cannot be measured in a few words.
This is the main reason why G2 players are willing to train according to Ye Tian's requirements.
If it weren't for Ye Tian's ability to convince the public, even the G2 boss' words would not have much effect.
If someone else asked for a line change, Caps would only feel disdainful.
If Ye Tian proposes to change lanes, Caps will happily give up the middle lane to Ye Tian, then go to the top lane and lie down, waiting to be beaten.
"It's not like the cannon moves to the Ban position and then we swing."
"You can shake the cannon as soon as you get it for me."
Ye Tian corrected him: "Originally I didn't plan to take out the cannon so early. Since Faker uses it first, I don't need to hide it."
In the mainstream competition regions of LPL, LCK, EU, NA, LMS, and VCS (Vietnam), no mid laner has appeared all summer, and only two wild card teams have been selected in the playoffs. There is not enough reference value, so Ye Tian felt that Xiaopao might not switch to the mid lane position so early.
Entering the main game, Faker took out the mid laner's cannon in the opening game against FNC, which will definitely create a trend.
That being the case.
Ye Tian can let go and let these players see the strength of the mid laner.
"Can you use the cannon well?"
Ah P was a little doubtful: "I've never seen you use it in a competition... Let's not talk about competitions. I haven't seen you use it in Rank either."
"Don't worry, my proficiency with Xiaopao is not lower than other heroes." Ye Tian finished his words.
Never used a cannon?
Do I need to tell you about the system?
Although I have been busy doing live broadcasts and bringing goods in 2018, I have not won a better combat power title than before. Incheon won the championship and only got the icing on the cake [Double Champion], but [Khan] has added riding and shooting heroes. The proficiency thing is still in hand.
Other players' hero proficiency is achieved through hard work. If they don't practice for a period of time, they will become rusty and vain.
Ye Tian is relying on the system to improve, step by step, extremely solid.
Comparing the two, a judgment can be made.
The initial attack range of the small cannon is 525, and the full level is 661. Each upgrade can increase the attack range by 8 yards.
In this plated version, the laning phase cannot end until the plating disappears after fourteen minutes. For a solo laner, it can reach level 10-11 during the laning phase.
From level 6-7, that is, when the ultimate move is clicked and the ability to kill is acquired, the attack distance of the small cannon increases by 42-48 yards, which does not seem like much, but for every operation, For professional players who practice cost-effective actions, this distance difference has reached the dividing line that may lead to misjudgment.
More importantly, the mid laner has no weakness in front of most heroes.
——When you can't beat him, push the line with your head down, use the W [Rocket Jump] that can offset the control to protect yourself. When you can beat him, just ride on the opponent's face and shit!
The only flaw is that the cannon is an AD hero with continuous output, and its AOE and burst in the mid-term are not as good as those of a traditional mage. However, this flaw is not worth mentioning compared to its advantages. It can be made up for by widening a certain economic gap.
Chatted briefly for a while.
The S9 opener has already entered the rhythm of the SKT team.
At the beginning of the game, FNC received three layers of plating like SKT, earning 480 gold coins from it.
It seemed to be doing well, but the number of kills was reduced to 0-4. It also lost an earth dragon that increased damage to buildings and ancient monsters by 16%. In fifteen minutes, it lost another Rift Herald and was hit. Drop the defense tower outside the middle lane.
The outer tower in FNC's middle lane fell.
The big devil Faker and the new jungler Clid cover the entire lower half with their vision and roaming range.
Even though FNC showed unprecedented resilience, holding on to the kill ratio in the next two waves of team battles, and chasing the economy from 3K behind to nearly equal, FNC only had an unstable captain to rely on in the later stage. SKT not only had Kyle, as well as the small cannon after the critical strike equipment adjustment, are firmly superior to FNC in team fighting ability.
After the overall formation, SKT slowly drained FNC's blood around Baron Nash, stretching the combat advantage to a level that FNC could not resist, and ended the game with two waves of advancement.
Neither the European commentators nor the audience were disappointed with this result.
The European and American divisions have always been dubbed the title of "getting B", and it is difficult to resist the strong teams of LCK and LPL. Except for the invitation-only competition of S1, only this year MSI has won the championship of a world-class event.
As the second seed in Europe, FNC can compete with the LCK's first seed led by triple crown champion Faker to this point. It can be described as an honor even if they lose.
The second game is considered the least suspenseful game.
The two participating parties are RNG, the second seed of the LPL, and North American CG who made it out of the playoffs.
There were no surprises in the process or results.
RNG took out the lineup of top laner Crocodile, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Kyle, bottom laner Lu Xia + Robot, and easily destroyed the CG top laner Gnar, jungler Nightmare, mid laner Syndra, bottom laner Lucian + Luo In the team battle system, Ming Shiyin showed off his magic hook in various empty Q steaming robots in the LPL competition area.
In the third game, IG almost won AHQ, handing the Taipei Red Pegasus their first defeat.
In the fourth game, S3 champion top laner Impact took out the Darkin Sword Demon and perfectly suppressed the young Nuguri from laning to team play, helping North American TL win the big turtle.
The fifth game surprised everyone.
FPX, the No. 1 seed in the LPL, who treated other teams as humans and machines, actually lost to JT!
right. JT was formerly the S2 champion Assassin Star. In terms of background, he is indeed much better than Little Phoenix FPX.
But how many years ago was that?
In the years before Wolf King Karsa left, both Assassin Star TPA and the renamed JT were beaten to the ground by Flash Wolf FW, and Flash Wolf FW could only stand out against Korea in the World Championship. In addition to the quarterfinals once, the remaining three times did not even make it out of the group.
To compare horizontally, Flash Wolf FW at its peak was only equivalent to a mid-to-lower LPL team, while JT, who was severely beaten by Flash Wolf FW, was equivalent to an LDL team.
FPX, which won the LPL championship with an absolute advantage, lost to an LDL team. Who can accept it? !
[What is the coach doing? What is the monkey doing? What are you doing here in Wanxiang? 】
【Look at the vomited mad】
[EDG has never been so weak no matter how big the competition is. FPX is simply ridiculous, even the provincial team can lose]
【That’s it? Still want to hire Brother Tian for 35 million? Where does the courage come from?】
[Just like last year’s FNC, they pretended to be B, thinking that Brother Tian had no place to go except their team. In fact, it was just a second-rate team]
[I thought FPX was a noob in Group B. None of Wanwan JT, Vietnam GAM, and European Snake SPY could beat each other. The result was that novices were pecking each other, and none of them might qualify]
[It would be funny if they were eliminated in the group stage like LGD in S5]
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The audience not only complained in barrages and forums, but also went to the FPX official blog, causing the FPX club to issue an apology statement as soon as they entered the World Championship, imploring everyone to believe it again in the most humble tone.
certainly.
This is on the surface.
Behind the scenes, not only the top management of the FPX club, but also Tengjing Company exploded.
"I just say that you shouldn't support Ye Tian. Raising tigers will bring trouble, right?"
The middle-aged girl, who is less than 1.6 meters tall and weighs more than 180 pounds by visual inspection, has regained her long-lost momentum: "Putting resources on UZI is the most appropriate solution. UZI and RNG are bound together and can go anywhere. No, there is no possibility of leaving the LPL. What about Ye Tian? The contract with EDG has no restrictions on going to other regions.”
"I thought I didn't expect it at the time, but looking at it now, Ye Tian must have used LPL to become famous and then went to Europe and the United States to make money." Someone immediately agreed.
"Don't mix personal emotions when discussing work." The gray-haired middle-aged man interrupted: "Ye Tian helped LPL win two championships. If it weren't for Ye Tian, S8 might have won in the end, but S7 would definitely win. If you can't keep the Bird's Nest title, how can you say you're taking advantage of the LPL region? Can you find another player who is so 'taken advantage of'? ”
"Yes, Ye Tian is our hero in LPL."
"What about the hero? It's all in the past. Look at the FPX official blogs. Almost all of them are fans of Ye Tian. It doesn't matter if he leaves the LPL, but it definitely won't work if he joins the LPL team in reverse!"
< br>
"That wasn't Ye Tian's doing, it was just a fan behavior."
"Do you understand that fans pay for idols? Besides, even if FPX pays a little less, isn't the supporting publicity here more than the price difference? How can Ye Tian help the EU region?"
"It seems like Europe, America and Riot Games won't promote Ye Tian, and with Ye Tian's strength, publicity is just the icing on the cake. If we don't promote it, players will still know how strong Ye Tian is."
"That's not right. He is a player from the LPL. How can he not even have any idea of the competition area?"
"..."
The staff engaged in a series of arguments.
"Okay, okay."
"Let me remind you, Ye Tian is not only the champion of LPL, but also the gold medal winner of the Asian Games. He is registered in it."
Jin Yibo lightly knocked on the table: "So our most extreme approach is to withdraw the promotion of Ye Tian. We must not label him as an LPL traitor or attack him with some baseless things - League of Legends is very likely It will become an official event in the next Asian Games, and the medals at that time will be included in the rankings. It makes Ye Tian reluctant to play. No one can bear the blame. "
"There are still two and a half years, how can he maintain his condition for that long?" the middle-aged girl whispered from below.
Jin Yibo glanced at it, cleared his throat, and brought the topic back on track: "There is one fact we need to understand clearly. Even if Ye Tian goes to other competition regions to take orders, his importance to our LPL division is higher than that of the FPX team. We must Lift him to the sky—at least until his strength declines.”
Teng Jing sets the tone.
FPX, who lost the first battle, could only endure the storm silently, hoping that a heavyweight team would overturn and attract some firepower.
pity.
There was no similar situation in the next few games.
In the last game on October 12, Euro Snake SPY won Vietnam GAM and defended the honor of the old division.
On October 13, RNG suppressed SKT with a four-guarantee-one system. Although the result was reversed by Faker, it was not as embarrassing as FPX. Players generally believed that RNG had the strength to defeat SKT.
FNC easily defeated North American CG and got a good start in S9.
IG defeated North American TL and completed the defeat of the third seed against the first seed.
AHQ took out the team battle system and lost to DWG's laning + operation, which was also expected by everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello to all the audience friends who are here!"
"The showdown you are most looking forward to in the past two days is about to begin!"
Vedius, a well-known European commentator, has short blond hair and wears a crisp suit: "As the strongest voice in Europe since S2, the G2 team has also invited the legendary player Tian to join them. It is one of the most competitive teams in this world championship; The second seed GRF in the LCK division they will face is also no ordinary player. No one has the right to look down on a team from the Quadruple Championship. ”
"This is a pinnacle battle. The winner has a high probability of qualifying for first place in Group A." Liusuzui Drakos continued: "We have obtained the starting lineups of the two teams, and G2 is not trying to be mysterious. , they showed their full strength in the first game. Their starting five are top laner Tian, jungler Jankos, mid laner Caps, and bottom lane Able+Mikyx! ”
"GRF's starting lineup is top laner Sword, jungler Tarzan, mid laner Chovy, and bottom laner Viper+Lehends!"
Ye Tian appears.
The most eye-catching position must be the top road.
GRF top laner Sword is not very good at attacking heroes, but he is very stable. In the LCK competition, he can hold his own against the older generation of offensive top laner Khan and the new generation of strong Nuguri. In the early days of GRF's rise, Sword also used Urgot to carry for a while. Time, and is therefore regarded as a first-tier top laner.
but.
The ‘first tier’ here refers to the LCK division.
The first echelon in the division may not necessarily be the first echelon in the world. In a more intense environment, players may be able to perform beyond their level, or they may be left behind.
Ye Tianxian's current strength is also a question mark.
In the S7 season, Ye Tian was bottomless in everyone's eyes. His terrifying 100% winning rate + 100% MVP rate + 0 death rate made all opponents despair.
In the S8 season, Ye Tian, who had been targeted by Riot Games for a year, was still ahead of the game, but he showed his limit in the battle with IG.
In the S9 season, Ye Tian was constantly being targeted for weakening before joining G2. Is it possible to lose his unique strength and become a player at the same level as several top top laners? (End of chapter)
