Chapter 16 The Ancestral Tree
"I heard that Li Mufan played very well as a tank top laner in the recent training session!" Changmao recalled the conversation he had with friends in the industry a few days ago.
"No wonder EDG wanted to sign him and Shui." Miller was about to say "Dragon AD", but suddenly realized that the meaning of this word was a bit sarcastic, and quickly changed his words: "EDG signed Li Mufan and Ah Shui this season, which can be regarded as adhering to Let’s learn the style that our team has always had!”
"Ah Shui hahaha!" I remember laughing very loudly: "Mr. Miller gave the nickname JackeyLove very smoothly!"
Miller laughed awkwardly, and he also casually added a more friendly prefix out of desperation.
But now that the words have been spoken, Miller simply admits that he was wrong.
"Li Mufan is good at tank heroes. EDG bought him to replace A Guang. Last year, A Shui ranked first in the national server with AD. He can be a core AD player! As long as these two players are trained and run together, It is still possible for EDG to return to its dominance last summer! ”
Miller did not comment on Li Mufan's past record, but compared his characteristics with EDG, which shows the tact of the old commentator.
Many worried EDG fans were immediately relieved when they heard Miller's analysis.
After all, this is just the first game of S7. Although it is regrettable to lose, it does not mean that there is no opportunity to adjust and come back.
Li Mufan brought his own peripherals to the stage and adjusted the equipment to delay the start of the game by another two or three minutes.
After debugging, he clicked to accept the battle invitation for the custom match and joined the match room.
In the second round, EDG was still on the blue side, located on the left side of the room; on the right side were five members of WE.
Li Mufan's eyes fell on the top ID, WE.957.
The other party had a slightly similar experience to him. 957 graduated from Ningbo City College and also embarked on the path of a professional player after completing his studies.
The difference is that the opponent's performance has improved over the past few years, while his own strength has been at its peak since his first appearance on the court, and has been declining since then.
Li Mufan flexed his wrist. His condition has recovered a lot recently. In this duel between two 'old top laners', he will not give in easily.
"EDG is still in the ban position of Green Steel Shadow on the blue side!" Miller was not surprised at all: "We had previously guessed that this hero would always be in the ban position of the red side, but we ignored one situation, that is, the blue side The top laner does not play Qinggang Ying! As a result, EDG must assume the ban position of the OP top laner in this version, which is actually a bit of a disadvantage!”
WE made a change this time, and Redmi sent the poodle to the ban position.
In the first game, condi won the MVP with Spider. Redmi had a hunch that EDG would ban Spider in the second game. And if EDG does not assume the poodle ban position, as the red side's WE, he would not dare to bet that Ai Loli will not play this hero!
Who knows if EDG's banning of the Lion Dog in the first game was a cover-up?
"EDG gave Spider Queen Elise the second ban!" I remember laughing when I saw this: "Sure enough, banning a key man is a consistent rule in BP."
In the last game, Condi's Spider had a group participation rate of 93%, which almost drove the rhythm of the three lanes in the early stage!
After much thought, nofe still couldn't let the spider go.
Nowadays, there are too many heroes who control and cooperate with spiders online. In addition, it is a carnivorous jungle version. The existence of spiders makes it impossible for the three lines to develop with peace of mind.
WE's remaining two strategies are exactly the same as those in the first game. We continue to target Scout and ban the Enchantress and Snake Girl.
Although they won the last game, Snake defeated Ryze thirty times in the middle!
It's enough to see how powerful Scout's snake girl is.
EDG's last ban also continued to target WE's selection in the previous game, with nofe knocking out Tahm.
Whether in the early or late stages, this hero is too powerful in protecting ADC!
And it just so happens that their AD player Mystic is also a player who is good at core play. The combination of the two will hardly give the opposing team any chance to make a comeback in an advantageous game!
“In the first game of the season, BP is really difficult!” Miller lamented: “Everyone’s understanding of the opponent comes from player rankings and some gossip from training games; previous game records have long been without any reference due to version changes. Value.
In this case, the coach can only fumble with BP while playing, which is a great test for the tactical reserves, on-the-spot adaptability of both coaching staffs, and the players' hero pools! ”
Amid the words, EDG immediately locked onto the Void Raider-Kazik who was released from the ban position!
Ai Luoli's expression was serious and slightly unconvinced.
Koro1 is the big one on the top lane, and he is the second-biggest jungler who can't run away.
But after losing the game, Abu scolded koro1 but did not scold him.
This is something I didn’t even give you expectations for!
This version of Kha'Zix is very strong, and he is a beneficiary of the preseason assassin hero rework along with Enchantress,
Ai Luoli is gearing up to avenge her shame.
"WE has released the mantis! It is true that there are too many OP heroes in the new version, and the red square ban position is not enough. We have to make a choice." Miller looked at the red square on the other side: "WE took out the first two hands. After defeating Ryze and Jhin, grab the double C position first!”
"Xiye's Ryze performed well in the last game and caught people with several drives. And this time they also banned the snake girl who restrained Ryze online. Xiye's stage is huge!"
< br>
After the S6 redesign, Ryze transformed from a fatan core into a rhythm driver.
Although the range of the ultimate move [Warping Realm Jump] is not as wide as the card's ultimate move, it is more advantageous in that it can teleport multiple people together. In the mid-term, it is very effective whether it is catching people or switching lanes and pulling out towers to get resources.
Nofe was pacing back and forth behind the players' bench in a slightly troubled manner, but he still had no instructions for the next step.
It wasn't until the countdown started that he asked Ai Luoli to identify Syndra first.
Syndra is the hero in the middle who is second only to Snake when it comes to playing Ryze. If she doesn't get it in the first round, she will definitely be banned by WE in the second round.
On the third hand, he was considering whether to take the top lane or directly play AD.
There was nothing to think about when he went on the road, just get the Three Illusion Gods for Li Mufan, but in fact Poppy had already fallen from the altar for half a year.
In the S6 Spring Split, Poppy dominated the top lane, with a terrifying appearance rate of 52.8%! But then Poppy was cut down one after another, and his appearance rate in the summer split plummeted to 5.7%, which is far from the big trees and Titans.
Coupled with the strengthening of DPS heroes such as Jace and Kennen, Poppy has no room for survival in the top lane.
So here’s the problem. Without Poppy, you can actually only choose between Titan and Big Tree on the road. If you don't take the top lane in the first round, the opponent will definitely ban them in the second round and directly press down the two phantom gods!
But with the third player on the road, the AD position will undoubtedly be targeted.
There was a gap in the hero pools of the two players. Redmi's first grab of double C made Nofe extremely uncomfortable, and the blue side's BP advantage was gone.
"If you choose the top lane first, will you feel any pressure on the bottom lane?" Nofe looked at Ah Shui: "Maybe Varus and Han Bing will be banned. There is only one policewoman left, but there is no Tahm to protect you!"
In the last game, Mystic's policewoman was able to show off her power in the mid-to-late game, and Tahm's protection was an important part.
"It's okay! Let's get it to Brother Fan first. I can handle it in the bottom lane!" Ah Shui thought for a moment and decided to believe in Meiduo's laning ability.
EDG's third move, the top laner is locked in! (End of chapter)
