Chapter 208 [Boomerang after half a year]
The moment the WE base crystal exploded, the packed main square suddenly erupted with such momentum that it seemed like it was about to overthrow the ceiling.
Compared with the old venue of the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center, the Super Brand Plaza in Lujiazui is significantly larger, covering an area of 3,000 square meters and able to accommodate 1,800 spectators.
"Congratulations to IG for taking the lead in winning the first game of the opening game," Watanabe said loudly. "After adjustments during the transfer period, the reorganized IG is still strong. They are worthy of the title of world champion!"
< br>
Rita quickly took over and added, "This is not a victory for IG. Now they seem to have gone back to the tactics of last summer split."
"With Dow as the core on the upper lane, the whole team cooperated with him to push 41 points from the wing. In the end, the strong pull of the unfathomable Jian Ji on the wing was used to pull WE alive to death."
"Obviously, WE has done its homework in advance."
Miller joked, "Kled Spider's change of formation is not only forcing Dow to play the warrior top laner, but also trying to take advantage of IG's poor vision control rate to force the opening."
“Coach Homme is probably wondering now too”
"How come IG has become better at running the game after replacing a new support player? In terms of vision, it completely suppresses WE's performance."
WE is a typical operations team. The players in each line have a relatively balanced fighting style. Even if there is a matchup gap on the line, they can still win the game through a comeback.
This is also the most typical style of coaching the team by Coach Homme, unless there is an extreme situation like the Prime Minister beating Meng Huo.
There are no star players with particularly outstanding personal abilities, only SuperCarryTop or other position players who perform their duties in the team.
But.
Although a style of play like WE can win games and achieve good results, the team's style is destined to not attract fans, and their popularity among the public will naturally not be very good.
The big reason why IG's championship can have an impact out of the circle and even change the ecological situation of the league is that regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, I will fight with you first.
When you win, you make a successful comeback, and the passersby watching the game experience the heartbeat of the roller coaster, they will naturally fall in love with you.
This is the same as chasing girls.
If you lose the fight, you can quickly cut through the chaos and speed up the pace of the game. It neither tortures your own mentality nor tortures the audience. It is also very attractive.
[It made me laugh so hard. After IG won the championship, they could find out the mole when changing the team members. Sure enough, the arrangement and combination will always be with them]
[Pinus looks quite sunny, but the shape of his doggy head makes me scratch my head. 】
[If IG were still five championship members, WE would lose faster today. If the third line blossoms, I will ask you how to play? 】
[60E, why don’t you scream? You fucking keep throwing mineral water, you can’t move because of the blood pressure! 】
[Don’t let Xiye play with Ryze, it’s so green, there’s no sound the whole time, Sheila is really laughing at me, right? 】
Tabe did not take any quick action on IG's original tactics. He chose to continue to use the mid-upper and jungle system that he is best at, just to put less pressure on the two newcomers and quickly enter the rhythm of the LPL.
Another point is to help them adjust their mentality while sitting in the player seats.
Whether it is the City Championship or the secondary league LSPL, the audience at the scene is astonishing as 300 people, and the attention on the Internet is even less.
Many viewers don't even know who is on the LSPL league team. Even after Doinb, which has a certain number of fans, was moved to the secondary league, only a handful of true fans paid attention.
With less attention from the outside world, the impact of public opinion pressure on the players will naturally not be too great. Even if there are mistakes such as flashing into the wall, it will not cause too much discussion.
It's completely different in LPL.
Each club has a certain fan base, and with countless champion fans and passerby fans, the players' operational mistakes are completely amplified.
Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang made their debut. You can imagine the pressure in their hearts. Some of the operations that should have been high-yield but very dangerous would eventually give up and seek stability due to pressure.
Another situation is that you are eager to express yourself and make radical and over-the-top operations, resulting in various educations from the elderly.
Although Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang have worked together for a long time, their mentality is completely different. The clever desire to operate was evident in the training matches.
Liu Qingsong, on the other hand, did not dare to operate at all and was at a loss.
Tabe is indeed far different from Homme in training players, but he still has the basic theoretical knowledge.
The best way to build self-confidence is to win games. Losing games will only make newcomers fall into self-doubt and destroy their already unstable confidence.
"It's so comfortable to lie down!" Lin Weixiang took off his headphones and praised repeatedly, "I feel like I haven't exerted much strength, so why is the game over?"
"Stop barking!"
Liu Qingsong licked his lips habitually, "Count how many times you have been hit by this ultimate move. You have wasted all the opportunities to strike first. It's fun to play as a tool!"
"This is me."
Lwx raised his eyebrows, unable to find anything to refute for a while.
He really has no sense of presence.
On the contrary, a few waves of roaming by his partner and King Ning allowed the team to completely establish a winning streak, allowing the frontal battlefield to easily deal with WE's charge.
But this is inevitable.
Once the team's tactical focus is on the top lane and the main focus is on 41-point pushing, the AD role in the bottom lane is not even as great as support, and it completely becomes a machine to replenish troops without any affection.
Lin Weixiang glanced at the other three big brothers out of the corner of his eye, and the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
Damn
Even if King Ning and Rookie are older than him and look stable and mature, why does Chu Ge who was born in 1999 look much more stable than him?
Could it be possible that this is the aura of a champion top laner!
I really cried to death!
Chu Ge felt someone was looking at him and turned around to meet Lin Weixiang's smart eyes.
"Grass!"
Pushing the door open and walking into the lounge, Chu Ge shouted, "Lin Weixiang, don't look at me with those wise eyes. Why do you feel like I'm bullying a kid!"
"Ignore him."
Liu Qingsong sat down on the sofa, looked at the TV screen in front of him, and said with a smile, "As expected, Pigeon, you are the MVP again!"
"I got the little money!"
Lin Weixiang pursed his lips, his eyes full of envy, and asked in confusion, "Prince Ning, did most of the 2,000 yuan bonus come from pigeons?"
King Ning kept nodding, "Since this guy joined the team last year, none of the rest of us have won it."
"Director Dow! I'm so awesome!"
Seeing his team's showmanship, Chu Ge waved his hand and said with a smile, "Ji Cao, don't be 6, everyone sit down."
Tabe looked at the team members smiling happily and did not have the heart to disturb them. He smiled and chatted with Mafa.
Among the domestic LPL clubs, most clubs do not have supervisory positions. The head coach is already the ceiling of the training team, and the next step is the management, who can hold shares in the club.
Nowadays, with the expansion of IG's influence, countless top talents want to enter IG's youth training camp.
But here comes the problem
IG's youth training camp has always had little sense of existence. Most players were born in the youth training camps of WE and EDG, including Chu Ge.
The original old IG players even started playing professionally as passers-by and directly entered the first or second team.
With Chu Ge's lessons learned, IG's senior management also realized the importance of talented players. In the end, the principal happily increased the funding to build a youth training camp.
JackeyLove, who was still playing in NEST, also formed a second team with the newly purchased Theshy, hoping to get another spot before the promotion and relegation competition is closed in the last year.
Of course
Each top league can only have one team, and even if they join, they can only sell their spots. However, it is actually very good to be able to train players with the IG tag.
Mafa is now in charge of the affairs of the first and second teams and the youth training camp. The head coach of the first team has given Tabe full responsibility.
"How does it feel to coach such a group of players?" Mafa communicated with Tabe in English.
“Very good.”
With a smile on his face, Tabe looked at the players in front of him with doting eyes, "I'm glad you persuaded me to stay on the team, otherwise I wouldn't have known what was going on after I went to HKA."
During the winter transfer period, Tabe's outstanding work ability in IG made the HKA club in Hong Kong very coveted. In addition, Wang Boqin himself is from Hong Kong.
With the invitation from his hometown team, the good salary, and the career temptation of the head coach, plus his girlfriend is also in HK, Tabe is naturally very excited. The long-term long-distance relationship is still a bit tortured for him.
But
The temptation of IG's head coach, coupled with the fact that he was coaching the players he was most familiar with, made Tabe fall into a dilemma. In the end, Mafa persuaded him to stay after a few days of drinking.
Now that the first game of the opening game is over and watching the players play the tactical requirements they want, Tabe's last doubts are finally dispelled.
Maybe the two IG crowns will really come true in his hands!
It seems exciting to have a player like Chu Ge to compete with designers.
"Brothers played well!" Tabe walked up to the brainless and unhappy one, "Lin Weixiang, you restrained your desire for expression in the first round, and keep working hard in the second round!"
"Liu Qingsong, your commander's roaming and vision layout have improved, but it's not enough. I hope you can be more aggressive."
"Your talent and hard work will prove to you that you can definitely do it!"
Liu Qingsong nodded seriously.
Tabe did not favor one against another. Even though the three players had competition experience, he still praised and encouraged them.
Most of the players in the team are 17 or 18 years old. For boys, most of them are still in the rebellious stage, so good language communication is very necessary.
Tabe is also a professional player himself, and even won the runner-up honor of the global finals, so he can naturally compare with the players.
"How about we focus on the lower half? Since we won the first game, we also have the opportunity to try and make mistakes in the second game and practice well?"
After all, they are a championship team. Tabe is very confident now. They were world champions before he became the head coach of IG. At least there is no need to worry too much about winning or losing in the regular season.
It's just right for training troops.
"Our BP will ban all the legal support heroes and let Liu Qingsong be the hard support," he patted King Ning on the shoulder, "so that King Ning can get used to the road to the lower half."
Prince Ning had no objection, but Tabe deliberately glanced at Chu Ge, who was collecting water next to him, and continued to ask, "Geve, what do you think?"
Mainly focusing on the lower half, this means that the upper half needs to resist pressure. The jungler cannot invest too much energy to help the top lane, and there will no longer be the situation of squatting on the top lane like in the last game.
Tabe knows it too.
Recently, Chu Ge has used a lot of tanks and anti-pressure heroes in the Korean server rankings. It is obvious that he is adjusting his status for the team's tactics.
Tabe is convinced by Chu Ge from the bottom of his heart.
At the age of 17, he behaves extremely humbly both inside and outside the game, and it doesn't matter if he occasionally says something risqué during a live broadcast.
Despite this, Tabe still needs to ask Chu Ge for his opinion. This is the most basic respect for the big daddy in the team. Mr. 15 Million's charm is self-evident in the team.
If Chu Ge doesn't want to, then forget it.
Chu Ge nodded unhurriedly and chuckled, "It's okay for me. I've been carrying for so long. It's time to rest with my teammates. I'll challenge 957 in a one-on-one challenge. I'm guaranteed to win!"
Liu Qingsong was originally full of confidence after being praised by Tabe, but now that his eldest father wanted to take a rest, he suddenly felt unsure, "No, Dad Dow, you won't carry anymore. I didn't perform well and the team's rhythm collapsed." , didn’t he die miserably?”
"Hey, hey," Lin Weixiang smiled nonchalantly, "Oh, hey, stop pretending to be a loser, I'm not giving you a chance."
He looked at Tabe, "Coach, I would like to request that the burden of carrying be handed over to me. Get me a policewoman, and I will ensure that there is not a single defense tower left on the opposite side!"
"Rolling, rolling, rolling."
The team took advantage of the time before going on stage to go over their tactics again, and the discussion didn't stop until the staff reminded them to go on stage.
Liu Qingsong took a deep breath and kept cheering himself up from the bottom of his heart.
"Welcome everyone back to the competition. What we are about to usher in is the second game of Bo3 in the opening game between IG and WE."
"We, who were on the red side in the first game, designed IG in BP, but they didn't win in the end. They took the initiative to choose the blue side in this game. I don't know what kind of adjustments it will bring."
With a sonorous sound, the BP picture appeared in front of the audience.
In the second game, WE's ban position was quite aggressive, taking the initiative to ban all three heroes, Jian Ji, Jace and Qinggang Ying, directly filling up Chu Ge's hero pool.
And continued to snatch Verus down.
This Verus was deliberately released by IG.
In this version, the value of Punishment Arrow is indeed very high, but its shortcomings are also obvious. When Zyra and Grasshopper are not available, it must be paired with Tahm Kench. Therefore, IG acted very quickly and directly took out Liu Qingsong's other signature female tank, and continued to help King Ning get the Mantis. As for the top lane, because they wanted to focus on the lower half, the team locked the captain for Chu Ge.
The lineups of both sides were quickly determined:
Blue team WE: top laner Poppy, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Snake, and bottom lane Verus + Tahm.
Red square IG: top laner Captain, jungler Mantis, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane Jhin + female tank.
The task of Chu Ge is to stabilize the development. It mainly depends on the confrontation between the two sides in the middle and jungle. The linkage between Liu Qingsong's female tank and the jungle assistant is very important.
After Kandi was lectured by Homme in the lounge, his thoughts have now changed. He no longer wants to help on the road, but prioritizes ensuring his own development and looking for opportunities to gank.
The junglers of both sides spent a round of wild monsters each, and when they came to the bottom lane, they used some skills on each other and separated, but did not find any opportunities.
King Ning instinctively wanted to go up, but until Chu Ge reminded him, he calmly controlled Mantis and Rookie to find trouble in the opponent's midfielder.
It has to be said that Mystic's style last year was that he often got lost and died suddenly, and he was very aggressive in the lane, but now he has become more stable after Homme's training.
Ling Dan, who partnered with Uzi in S4, was considered a support who was good at laning. After moving to WE, his style began to change and he was very good at roaming.
Lwx can hold his own against the bottom lane.
During the gap between the opponent's bottom lane and the first wave of returning to the city for supplies, they pretended to return to the city after pushing the lane, but actually wandered to the middle lane with their vision stuck.
IG's change of formation really scared Xiye. Enchantress stepped on it and used E skills to catch it. The female tank flashed E and then Q to control it. The control chain gave Snake Girl no chance to surrender and flash.
“Are we fighting IG?”
Xiye looked at his black and white TV with doubts on his face, "Shouldn't their assistants all stay in the bottom lane? What's going on with the new assistant on the opposite side?"
Lingdan has been in China for a few years and can now communicate normally. "My, my, my, I was shaken by the other side."
"Have you flashed the hand in the middle?"
King Ning marked Snake Girl's summoner skill, "If you hand it over, I'll come and catch it again in the next wave."
"No, no," Liu Qingsong shook his head repeatedly, "If you hand in the flash in the future, I will remember it in the chat box."
In the past, Baolan was doing the job of remembering flash, but now that Baolan has left, this task will naturally have to be taken over by the current assistant.
Liu Qingsong's previous team in Dong Ruoji didn't record CDs very much, and even the support staff of the LSPL team rarely had the habit of recording summoner skills. It was all up to the players to memorize them from memory.
So.
It also often happens that reporting a skill results in an own goal. One second it was announced that the skill was not available, but the next second someone else immediately pressed it.
After Chu Ge hit Bobby with two consecutive barrel explosions on the top lane, he quickly cut the screen and glanced towards the middle lane, looking satisfied.
WE is indeed a well-trained team.
Whether it is the strength of the laning or the timing of wandering thoughts, the bottom duo is a very typical game situation.
Chu Ge is also very comfortable playing in the lane on the top lane.
Poppy didn't pose much of a threat to him. He had already suppressed 12 of the opponent's soldiers in 9 minutes. The wages of Silver Snake Coins and [Cloud Explorer] helped Chu Ge's economy grow quickly.
WE tried to launch an attack on the top lane, but Chu Ge was so slippery that he squeezed the flash until the end and escaped the pursuit, and threw his ultimate move towards the bottom lane.
King Ning also suddenly increased his speed in the bottom lane. Mantis cooperated with Enchantress to come up with a four-for-two attack. Liu Qingsong didn't shake his hands at all, and his big move accurately hit Mystic.
Lin Weixiang used W to keep up with the control, and decisively set up a turret outside the defense tower. Four bullets poured out to fully deal damage.
Although Zero ate Verus into his stomach in time to protect him, his current tankiness simply could not withstand the damage from four people, and he was killed before his W could finish.
Successfully completed a wave of 0 for 2.
And after this wave, IG was like a rocket. The Nakano assistants were linking up more and more frequently. The ability of the Tech Gun Demon Queen to retain people really gave WE a headache.
Soon there was another 4v4 team battle in the lower jungle area. The top laners of both sides teleported down. The WE lineup was looking for death to take over the big group in the early stage.
However, this kind of team battle in the early and mid-term would not go to the end. The two sides fought 1 for 2. IG won the team battle and successfully controlled Xiaolong.
At this point, IG once again gained the early advantage.
WE also remembered the lesson learned from the previous game and decisively avoided the battle, hoping to delay IG until the late stage and use their best defensive counterattack to win the game.
A little over ten minutes.
The bottom defensive tower was pushed down by Jhin, and the two sides officially entered the line swapping period.
"Go to the bottom lane." Rookie said with a smile, "You finally have no chance to get 2,000 yuan!"
"OKOK!"
Chu Ge, who was about to lie down, nodded, returned to the city comfortably to replenish equipment, and began to act as a senseless last-hitting machine in the bottom lane.
After the hard assistant enters the line change period, the rhythm will pick up faster.
The special geographical pattern of the middle road allows Liu Qingsong to support anywhere in the upper and lower half of the zone in the shortest time, and the number of Yefu linkages becomes more frequent.
The game has entered the mid-term mode with a split push of 131. Chu Ge's good development is enough to ensure that IG's lineup has a good Su Department in the later stage.
The game time soon came to 24 minutes. The captain had upgraded the passive bonus of two ultimate moves, and he had completely turned into a machine that could throw away ultimate moves without emotion.
As long as Chu Ge is strong, the name "Pigeon" will inevitably be called crazily in the team's voice.
Chu Ge is almost emo.
It was okay to eat meat and milk milk when I was in the C position. Why do I have to milk milk for these boys to eat grass now?
During this period, WE also seized several waves of IG opportunities, but the ultimate support of Enchantress and Captain was too high, and Jhin set up anti-aircraft guns behind them, so they were forced to give up.
The captain can't target it, and other passers-by can't limit IG's development. WE is actually a little anxious now.
After all, IG3C is no joke!
The female tank's rhythm picked up, and Enchantress and Mantis grew extremely fat, pushing down the second tower of WE's middle lane at 26 minutes.
Riat couldn't help but shake his head, "In the first game, IG felt restrained and training, but in the second game, I completely let myself go. If I had covered up the team name and didn't see it, I would have definitely thought that the red team was WE."
< br>
“The effect feels great!”
Wawa said loudly, "The central and jungle assistants are working together, and the guidance of Dow is resisting the pressure on the sideline. His performance as a top top laner in team battles is definitely not weak."
"Single-line advantage is certainly effective, but the error tolerance rate will also be lower!"
At this time, the director suddenly called up the economic panel.
It can be seen that Rookie's Enchantress is the leader in the game. His advantageous speed in pushing lanes and supporting support allows him to maintain a 100% team participation rate, and his last hit is 30 dollars higher than that of Xiye.
Normally, the second ranked player should be Lin Weixiang in the C position, but what is surprising is that the 0-0 captain's economy shocked everyone's eyes.
"To be honest," Miller couldn't help laughing, "How can a captain with 0-0 be ranked second?"
Before he finished speaking, the ranking of economic data jumped a bit.
The avatar of Ocean Disaster appears on the head of Enchantress!
"Excellent!"
The baby shouted excitedly, "Do you still remember what Director Dow said in the post-game interview last year?"
Miller and Riat nodded at the same time and said in unison, "He said that he is a player who loves development!"
"After half a year, he finally fulfilled his promise!"
"The main reason is that Dow's captain did not kidnap the jungler," Miller analyzed. "In my impression, offensive players often don't play well as captains."
"Because he always wants to gain an advantage, which leads to constant use of barrels to consume, which indirectly causes the troops to be too forward and targeted by the opponent's jungler."
"It doesn't mean that having lane rights is necessarily a good thing. If you don't focus on jungle tactics, it will become a disadvantage that constrains you."
“Dow did a great job.”
Miller easily confirmed his identity and continued to praise, "He was warned in advance against several waves of double-teams from WE and retreated to a safe position in advance."
"Although a little bit of development is sacrificed, for a hero like the Captain who can earn money quickly, it doesn't hurt at all."
"What's more, he also got a few assists with his ultimate move," Riat quickly took over the conversation, "It's reasonable to develop into the number one economy!"
See this.
The three commentators saw the director move the camera to the captain. After Chu Ge cleared the line of troops, he went directly into his own jungle area and ate up all the explosive stone beetles.
King Ning didn't say anything.
With the advantage of vision, his weak jungle planning ability was inexplicably improved, and he was able to steal Kandi's jungle without any ambiguity.
Of course
There is an IG who is a semi-jungler, and Kandi's life is very tight.
The time came to 28 minutes and 30 seconds again.
Chu Ge used a bucket to eat up a group of soldiers, and his economy was enough to find a three-piece set and evolve the third ultimate move's shells.
With the three items, Blue Sucking Knife and Endless, the captain's damage, except for Poppy, can be seen a little bit, and the rest of them have to replenish themselves after eating a bucket.
"It's finally my turn, isn't it?"
Chu Ge also imitated Liu Qingsong's way of licking his lips and murmured, "Brother, I have been a bull and a horse for you for almost 30 minutes. Isn't it time for me to rise up?"
"Liu Qingsong, you go first!"
"Okay!"
No need for Chu Ge to say much, Liu Qingsong naturally took the responsibility of starting the team on himself. The moment he found the opponent's snake girl's flaw, he flashed R+E and successfully controlled it!
Zero's Tahm quickly handed over the flash and swallowed the snake girl into his mouth. Verus threw his ultimate move R [Chain of Corruption] on the female tank without hesitation.
Under the protection of his teammates, Xiye couldn't die at all. When he was spit out, he immediately released W Binding on the ground to stop IG's attack.
The next second!
Poppy appeared directly from the wall, and used the wall bang to knock Lin Weixiang, who was standing very far forward, into the wall, and then released W Jianbi Qingye to keep the Enchantress and Mantis out.
At the moment Jhin was stunned, Chu Ge's attention was focused on the two C positions of WE behind him. He immediately placed a stationary explosive barrel in front. The moment A slashed, the second explosive barrel was connected at the extreme distance.
The [Cannon Screen] that had evolved three times was released directly in the center of Verus and Snake Girl. The effects of slowing down and real damage to the enemy caused the two people's health to drop by one level instantly.
The next second, the moment the captain used his Q skill to shoot at the powder barrel, he flashed forward and connected the third barrel to the limit distance of the second barrel.
As for the impact damage of the explosive barrel, it was the WE double C that included it. By the time they killed Jhin and the female tank and tried to escape according to the damage, it was already too late!
Boom!
The damage of three consecutive barrels seemed to form a berserker's mountain-breaking slash on the ground. The ground of Summoner's Canyon seemed to be shattered by the spurting fire, and the sound of explosions resounded in WE Double C's headphones.
The health bars of Verus and Snake were cleared on the spot.
At this time, Bobby quickly moved the big pendulum in an attempt to knock the captain away, but Chu Ge had already used the speed of the wind rider to run directly to the side.
Before 957 had time to release his ultimate move, IG pounced on the middle and jungler and emptied out the last trace of blood.
3 people were killed.
The balance of the team battle suddenly fell to IG. Without the support of the double C, WE Yefu could not even clear the line of troops!
"Big dragon, big dragon!"
Liu Qingsong shouted excitedly, "Capture the big dragon, and we will win after a wave of supplies!"
"No."
Prince Ning was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't it be time for a wave of house demolition now? If you want a big dragon, you are both dead, and it's time for us to release ourselves!"
Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang were still a little confused after hearing this.
But now the three people on the field have swarmed towards WE's Highland Crystal, once again killing Kandi who wanted to defend, leaving only Tahm who had no fighting ability.
By the time Jhin and Snake Girl were revived and rushed out, the captain had already slashed at the base crystal with only blood skin left.
(End of chapter)
