Chapter 177 Fierce collision! Summer Split!
Even though there was no EDG game in the first week, the LPL Summer Split was still in full swing.
Group A first staged a grudge match between RNG and WE.
This year's WE is very angry that they failed to fight to the end!
You must know that if RNG had not come up with some kind of Galio system in the Spring Split, WE would definitely be able to compete with EDG after running in!
It's a pity that because they couldn't deal with Prince Galio, they fell into a BP disadvantage and were pushed to death by RNG in the semi-finals. Fortunately, they defeated OMG in the third place match, which can be regarded as an explanation for their efforts in the spring.
At the beginning of the summer split, WE will definitely have to fight to the death with RNG to prove the strength of WE2.0 members!
In Group B, the most eye-catching team is naturally the small IG team.
Last winter, he spent huge sums of money to bring in top laner Duke, the champion, only to be eliminated in the playoffs and get eliminated in the first round. Principal Wang simply couldn't accept this shame and humiliation, so he once again opened up his pockets to recruit players in the summer split, giving IG a move that was almost equivalent to a reorganization. Style renovation!
Facts have proven that as long as you are willing to spend money, there will always be results.
IG won both games in the first week of competition, both with a 2:0 record. The most exaggerating thing is that after four games, their average game time was only 25 minutes!
This is extremely conspicuous among the LPL teams that average 29-33 minutes per game!
There is no doubt that as a team in the same group, IG is listed as the number one research target by the EDG coaching staff.
Because their first opponent next week is IG!
"Let's talk about it. What do you think of IG's current overall level?" Nofe was spinning a black pen in his hand and sitting in the training room holding a notebook.
In front of him, EDG's five starting players pulled their e-sports chairs and sat in a circle around Nofe, with faces as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Just now, nofe found the videos of IG's previous four games. This is not an ordinary viewing angle, but the first-person perspective of each of IG's five players!
Anyone who has studied the game knows that watching from a God's perspective and from a first-person perspective are completely different experiences.
Watching the game from a God's perspective, you know the movements of everyone on both sides in advance, and you may not take notice of all the actions and reactions of the players.
For example, someone on the red side is stuck in the field of view and arresting someone. From a God's perspective, when the person on the red side appears in the field of view, you think that the person on the blue side who was ganked should immediately hand over his skills and escape, but in fact, on the blue side, From Fang's perspective, he doesn't have as much thinking time as you do. He may only have 0.5 seconds, or even an instant!
This difference in intelligence will give people the illusion that 'I can do it just as well', but as long as you watch a complete first-person perspective, you can deeply experience the player's own strength!
This is the purpose of nofe. He wants everyone in EDG and everyone in every position to feel the strength of IG's current five positions!
"I'll do it first." Meikou raised her hand: "As for IG's assistant, I think his awareness of vision is a bit poor. Sometimes I have predicted or felt that I need to do vision at a certain point, but he still has Hanging on the line; in addition, he is not very good at consumption when laning, and has many misunderstandings about auxiliary positioning and skill release.”
"There are also advantages. He is quite fast with the group, and he is very brave in fighting. He plays the role of attracting firepower for IG's C position." Meikou scratched her head: "I'm done."
< br>
"Okay, basically there is no problem. It is consistent with my view on Sapphire." Nofe nodded: "I have personally watched every video you watch, but you must understand it yourself better than I can directly understand it. I’m telling you my opinion, it’s going to be more profound, do you understand?”
"Understood!" Everyone responded.
In fact, everyone was a little uncomfortable with this slightly 'weird' training method at first.
Asking players not to play training matches and 'waste time' watching videos?
Isn’t this the job of the coaching staff and data analysts? !
But after only trying it once, everyone fell in love with this training method that does not consume much physical energy but has extremely effective results!
Watching your opponent's first-person game allows everyone to clearly observe some of their opponent's little habits, such as where they like to insert their wards for a few minutes and seconds.
Of course, this is the most basic information. If a data analyst looks at it, it can be summarized and taught to the team members.
But for a more upgraded version, for example, after the opponent gets Sword Princess, when does he like to play short Q and long Q? Is his Sword Princess W skill used to block and control or is a key damage skill?
Let the data analysts summarize these problems, and there will be too many. It is not convenient, fast, and more impressive for the players to find the information they need by themselves!
"A few days ago, Jack and I also met Baolan in double queue. At that time, I was surprised that he didn't use anti-wind in the mid-term. It turns out that this person also plays like this in the game?" Li Mufan was happy: "Okay, let's talk about it next. My opponent!”
"Theshy, the top laner on the opposite side, is a former WE youth trainee and makes his debut on the LPL stage."
"The personal style is very distinctive, which is different from other top laners in the Spring Split LPL. He has a lot of micro-manipulation, and the heroes he puts on the field can often perform upper-level operations and dare to do so!" Li Mufan thought of a scene that he cared about very much. ;
"In the second game against OMG, he was double-teamed by three people in the bottom lane. According to my idea, he should have seamlessly connected with double E and escaped, but he immediately flashed White Fury W and bit the mid laner. After using the big move card, he used a combination of angry moves to beat the mid laner to death, and two E chased him to finish. The remaining two Ueno and junglers dealt with an open crocodile without any damage, and he got three kills in one hit three. "< br>
"I'm very impressed by this wave." Li Mufan said with a deep look and a serious tone: "This person is not inferior to me in operation, and his desire to attack is stronger than me!"
"If any team underestimates him because he is a rookie top laner, that would be a big mistake! He can take Duke's position on IG, and he definitely has the strength to back him up!"
"You, the FMVP, can't just praise other top laners for their good performance!" nofe said with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Tell me, how are you going to beat him in the top lane?"
Li Mufan couldn't stop laughing: "Coach, you are trying to tear me down, he is really strong!"
"But as a newcomer, there are quite a lot of flaws. I looked at these four carefully and found that his main problem is, uh, actually somewhat similar to Sapphire's, which is that he doesn't do vision or 'can't' do vision!"
When he said the word 'no', Li Mufan thought back to IG's exaggeratedly bad training team.
He is very confident that no one at IG has systematically taught theshy how to position his eyes in various game situations.
Li Mufan couldn't help but wonder, since Lao Wang has invested so much money to buy people, can't he spend more money to bring back more useful training personnel?
Then Liu, Guan, and Zhang didn't make many waves when Zhuge Liang wasn't around!
"Indeed, vision is a serious problem for this new top laner! For more than two-thirds of his laning period, the surrounding protective wards are one or less!" Nofe continued: "One ward can't keep him in the top lane. In fact, the number of times I was caught by ganks in the previous games was not too small.”
"Okay next one!"
"After changing the team members this season, Broiler feels that his condition has become better than in previous seasons." Junior Scout Scout began to describe his insights: "There are many heroes that can be taken in the lane, and a few signature heroes can reverse the situation." Come up with the version, such as Syndra’s mid laner a few days ago.”
"Next!"
"IG's new jungler Ning, I have heard of him when I was in YM. My friend said he is a 'little spicy hot pot', and now it seems that the evaluation is very fair. He is also a reckless man who forgets to develop when he starts ganking. ." The factory director then elaborated on his views on IG's jungle.
"Next!"
"I'm actually quite familiar with iboy!" Jack slumped down on his chair in a panic: "To be honest, after watching these scenes, I feel like he's just a beggar version of myself!"
Seeing everyone staring at him with incomprehensible smiles, Jack gradually felt embarrassed; "At most, he can react faster than my brothers, but he can deliver better than my brothers!"
"Okay Jack, I'll laugh if the real version can't beat the beggar's version the day after tomorrow!" Li Mufan said with a smile.
"Just wait and see!"
In just half an hour, everyone expressed their opinions, and nofe also added a few points; after this, almost all the team members had a full understanding of the new version of the IG five-person group.
"Okay, that's it for the analysis of IG. Since you have found each other's strengths and weaknesses, I think you don't need to teach you how to respond." Nofe clapped his hands and made a concluding remarks; "It's time to strengthen Improve your field of vision. If you need to coordinate with the jungler, communicate more with Mingkai. If you need to be stable online, stay with me! ”
“Let’s talk about the summer version issue!”
“We have talked about some of the most basic things several times, so I won’t go into details here. I mainly want to analyze the new favorites in recent games.”
After the big mid-season update, the 7.10 version adjustment update came immediately. This series of updates together will inevitably have a linkage effect, thus affecting some heroes that are not in the update catalog.
For example, the prince.
Li Mufan had already used the top laner Prince on MSI. At that time, it was based on the Prince's 7.7 version update, which strengthened the thickness of the W shield and related it to the Prince's maximum health.
At the time, it seemed like this was just an insignificant change, otherwise no team would have used Prince except for EDG who applied it to their own Galio and Big Mouth systems.
But then the mid-season update of version 7.9 added gargoyle plate armor to the tank equipment, which suddenly made the prince's changes become very important!
In addition to the dual resistance properties it carries, Gargoyle Plate Armor has two effects.
The first is the passive stone skin. When there are more than three enemies nearby, the double resistance provided by the equipment is doubled; the second is the active effect, which can directly increase one's maximum health by 40% after use.
At first glance, does it seem like you just need to resist a little longer?
But the problem is that when the first passive stone skin is activated, the second active effect will be to increase the maximum health value by 100%!
This is getting fun. The prince's W skill gives a 4% bonus to the maximum health, and it's 4% for every enemy hit!
Given the current style of team fighting that each team prefers, one W skill in the Prince's team battle can hit at least three hits. If the timing and positioning are well grasped, five W skills are not impossible!
It turns out that the Prince can only accumulate around 2,500 HP in the mid-term team battle. The designers of Riot probably thought that even if you hit five people, giving you a 500-point shield would not make a difference.
But now with the gargoyle plate armor and the prince with 2500 health, the theoretical maximum shield value of the W skill has reached 4%*5*2500*2=1000 points!
Coupled with the double value and double resistance of the gargoyle plate armor, this shield value seems more "real"!
I'm afraid Riot's designers also didn't expect that the changes they made two months ago to allow Prince to "clear the jungle better in the early jungle" would now suddenly make top laner Prince become the top laner due to the emergence of new equipment. darling!
If you want to ask why the jungle area is not the original plan of the designer, then you have to mention the changes made earlier to weaken the influence of the jungle area; now the jungle area is refreshed every two and a half minutes, how can the jungler have the money to spend three piece set.
And this only gives the prince the space to play in the front row of the team. What really increases the prince's strength is his own mechanism.
That is, the ultimate move [Heaven and Earth Shatters] changes the terrain, and the Q skill [Dragon Impact] reduces the armor by a percentage. Note that it is reduction rather than penetration.
Penetration is only effective for yourself, but reduction allows all teammates to enjoy this benefit!
The mechanics of these two princes, coupled with the linkage of the W changes and the new equipment Gargoyle Plate, combined together, suddenly transformed the prince, a hero with ancient mechanics and simple operations, into a hero who can crush all the tanks. The T0 hero in the top lane of Phantom God and Warrior!
Controls that are harder than mine are not as stable as mine, controls that are more stable than mine are not as improved as my team (Q increases AD damage, E increases overall attack speed), and team buffs that are better than mine can only be found from support!
Needless to say, the auxiliary heroes are even worse than the prince in terms of frankness and combat effectiveness!
"The good news is that Mu Fan has already started practicing top lane prince. He can even be said to be the first player to use top lane prince in this year's LPL. Don't worry about his proficiency!" nofe sighed comfortably.
The new T0 turns out to be the unique signature of one's own team members, while others just added on later. Is there anything more exciting than this?
In addition to the prince, many teams began to learn from EDG's Lucian swing BP.
After the single-line gameplay of Lucian, a hero, was developed by EDG, these coaches who can only order takeout are worse than copying!
What's more, they copied the MSI champion team!
Moreover, Lucian's strength can be traced. The specific principles will not be repeated. The main thing is to use the backhand to stabilize and seize the line rights.
Teams that are good at playing should practice more on the third line, and those who can't at least let the middle and lower lines practice more frequently. At the very least, they can confuse the opponent's move in the BP stage.
“I don’t need to say more about the jungle area. The revised Pig Girl and Zac are rampant in the jungle area. Correspondingly, the tank is as frank and controllable as the opponent, and it can also deal percentage damage. It has also become a hot choice. .”
Another half hour passed before Nofe emphasized the key points he had extracted to the team members.
The coach took the trouble and the players listened very carefully.
On the second day, EDG had two rounds of training matches during the day as usual, and a review in the evening plus free ranking or customized special exercises to maintain the feel.
Time flies by, and on June 15th, EDG ushered in its first game of the summer split!
This game is also full of highlights. As soon as the team members entered the venue, they could feel the heated atmosphere of today's game!
You must know that today is a Thursday, a working day, not to mention that they are still playing the first BO3 at 5 pm; even so, the LPL event venue located in Zhengda Plaza is still full of seats.
"Good afternoon to all the summoners who are here and watching the live broadcast in front of the screen!" Miller's familiar voice echoed in the stadium: "What you are watching is the second game week of the 2017 League of Legends LPL Summer Split. Today’s first BO3 will be presented to you by EDG and IG! ”
"Oh, I feel like I haven't commented on an EDG game for a long time!" Old partner Watanabe echoed from the side.
"It's been almost a month, right? Their MSI schedule is too tight, so we officially didn't schedule an EDG game for the first week after coming back, which is very humane!" Miller explained to the audience why EDG's The game started so late.
"Today's game is very interesting!" Wawa said enthusiastically: "On one side is the champion team EDG, which has just returned from MSI! On the other side is the IG team, which has won four consecutive small games with a crushing force after the summer split reorganization. ! ”
"The momentum of IG recently has even been a bit shocking to me, to be honest!" Miller licked his lips: "IG's games are quite bloody, with the average game duration being only 25 minutes! Their collision with EDG will definitely Give us a wonderful game!”(End of Chapter)
