Chapter 224 Step by Step
Against the black and red background, Gu Chuan walked onto the stage with his head held high.
The fans on both sides of the venue were divided into different groups, with all kinds of dazzling lights and ribbons swaying in their hands. The audience was packed with seats, and the cheers were deafening!
Usually such exaggerated popularity usually only appears in key playoffs or finals.
But whether it is All-China Team Taobo or Galaxy Battleship WBG, they are both top internet celebrity teams,
In addition, this is the first top-level matchup in the summer split. With the dual blessing of results and popularity, 80% of the LPL traffic fell on this BO3 game.
Due to an equipment failure in the middle of the previous match between JD.com and LGD, the match was suspended for more than two hours. In addition, all the BO3s of the first four teams were full, and the time reached uncontrollably past nine o'clock in the evening.
As senior commentators, Colonel Guan and Hitomi Nozomi were well prepared for such emergencies at work. They made appropriate adjustments and replenished energy in advance to keep their spirits high.
But this was a hardship for Shinichi, who came to be the guest commentator for the first time.
Originally, he was just a special commentator to support FPX, but he has been sitting here since 4 p.m., and he was even too anxious to eat lunch or lunch.
Seeing that there is still a BO3 game that has not yet been played, and it is another two strong teams clashing with each other, maybe even three games will be played by accident.
At this time, he was very angry and his stomach was still rumbling.
There was only one thought in his mind,
It doesn't matter who wins, as long as it ends 2-0 as soon as possible and lets me go home for dinner.
"The starting lineups of both sides have not changed today. I don't know what kind of sparks will be created between the two top ADCs in the LPL. Let's wait and see together"
The director switched the camera to the players' seats of both teams.
Everyone in Taobo was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed relatively relaxed,
Xiaotian also finally changed his hairstyle without covering his eyes, and he didn't look as decadent as before.
Their recent record is gratifying. Except for accidentally overturning on OMG, they can easily handle both strong and weak teams.
In the spring split, they only won one BO3 game against WBG,
But that time it was Huan Feng who made his debut as the starter. After Gu Chuan started, they never saw the word victory again in the battle between the two teams,
Looking at the ID of the opposite ADC, Ah Shui's expression showed a rare seriousness.
When he met Gu Chuan before, he felt some unavoidable contempt in his heart.
After all, there are so many new players joining the league every year, and all of them are talented ADCs, and there are only a few who can stand out.
But Gu Chuan seems to have followed the same script as him. He first won an international competition and now ranks among the best in the league in various statistics. Obviously, he is completely different from those short-lived talents.
Since the start of the summer split, he feels that his condition has been steadily improving, and the integration within the team has become smoother. Coupled with the benefits of the version,
Today is his best time for revenge.
After the two sides entered the competition room, the referee quickly issued instructions that all preparations were completed.
Accompanied by the familiar crisp sound, the BP interface is presented to the audience!
"WBG had priority in selecting sides in the first round. In this round, they chose the blue side and defeated Silas first!"
When the competition version entered version 12.11, many heroes that were popular in the previous version were hacked by the designers.
Ahri, who was originally at T0 level, was slashed back to nearly T2 strength with one strike, and Huo Man and Crow, who were just starting out, couldn't survive a few days.
Against the backdrop of many mid laners having their AP weakened, they treated Silas extremely gently. Not only the bonus to spell power from small skills, the additional blood-stealing ability of W and the CD of E skills, every aspect has gone through a small Strengthening, allowing him to return to the ranks of T1-level mid laners in one fell swoop.
This is not good news for WBG. Xiaohu's Silas proficiency can only be said to be average and barely usable.
But Silas is the opponent's left-handed mid laner. From S10 to now, there are many famous scenes in the LPL league.
This is undoubtedly doomed. In this BO3 game, they will naturally have one less ban position.
"Taobo pushed down Zeli and Monkey with his backhand."
Senior Colonel Guan analyzed it like a treasure, "After two weeks of LPL competition, whether it's Draven plus Titan or skateboard shoes plus Amumu, it's obviously not that easy for Luna, who was very popular at MSI in the past, to achieve results."
< br>
"Yes, this combination is more focused on the early stage. You must have an advantage to end the game in the mid-term. The error tolerance rate is low." Hitomi took over the words smoothly.
Apparently both coaches thought so.
WBG banned AD Senna and top lane weapons on the second and third floors.
Since we have decided on a play style that favors the upper half, banning a hero like Weapon, who has strong single-band ability but is not weak in laning, is the most reasonable choice.
Senatam is one of Taobo's bottom combinations, and he definitely needs to be given a certain amount of respect.
The white crescent moon walked slowly behind the Taobo players' bench.
He is also very familiar with WBG, a difficult opponent, and naturally knows how difficult it is.
Although he is very wary of Gu Chuan's carry ability in the bottom lane, there is still the absolute core of the team, Ah Shui, and he is not feeling guilty when fighting in lane and team battles.
What's more important is obviously the holes in the top lane.
"Ban Gwen, let's try to focus on the lower half of the game." Bai Yueya took a deep breath and decided on the basic strategy, "Xiaotian Knight, you should pay attention to the lower half and target the opponent's bottom lane."
"Dahuang, be careful and just hold on tight."
Since Ah Shui came to the team, no matter how fast the external version changes, their core playing style has not changed much.
Influenced by IG's reckless style of play, Bai Yueya has always firmly believed that,
As long as they find ways to fatten up the powerful double C of the Sailors, and use their personal operational abilities and economic gap to crush the opponent, that is the best way for Taobo to win the game.
After Taobo put Gwen on the board, the two sides officially entered the first round of selection.
"WBG first picked Foyego. After the monkey was banned, the Destroyed King became the T0 jungler in the jungle. There was no doubt in his choice."
Colonel Guan nodded in approval. "By the way, the new hero Belvis has also been logged into our competition server. However, there is no suitable matching style for this wild core hero yet."
It is completely different from other positions where a hundred flowers bloom and demons dance wildly. In this version, the jungler only has a few boring fixed options.
To put it simply, Monkey>Foyego>Blind Monk>Others.
The powerful monkey is currently in a stable state of buying houses in the ban position of each team, causing both sides to basically get one blind monk Foyego each.
Except for unique junglers like Kanpige and xun.
As the commentators were talking, Taobo locked the jungler Lee Sin and auxiliary Lenata on the first and second floors.
"The blind monk has a good ability to drive the rhythm in the early stage, which fits Xiaotian's personal style very well."
Hitomi also opened up the topic, "This move of Lienata should be more of a helpless move to grab the ban. Liu Qingsong always has his own special understanding of this hero. Whether it is to go first or to protect the row, it is too much." Skilled.”
Although White Crescent Moon could roughly guess what Danny was thinking through the first few ban moves, the laning ability of the bottom lane skate shoes paired with Lenata was too strong and had to be split.
WBG quickly responded, first giving theshy his top laner Angel,
Dany is still considering the location on the third floor of the pre-selected seats.
Since the opponent has already taken the support in advance, it doesn't make much sense to grab the support in the first three hands. Coupled with Gu Chuan's all-round hero pool in the bottom lane, there is still a lot of room for his BP to be used.
"Yuanhao, what do you want to play? We can consider a stronger mid laner." Liang Daren put his right hand in his pocket and held up the tactical board with one hand indifferently. "In this game, we must have line rights in the middle to compete with the opponent in the early stage. Rhythm, how about Lissandra?”
After many battles with Knight, Xiaohu knew very well that there was no Galio in the opponent's hero pool.
But Ahri, Crow, Rock Bird and other mid laners are still outside. These heroes are mutually reinforcing each other. Since he wants to steadily obtain the lane rights, there is only one choice!
"Okay, no problem at all."
Xiaohu moved his shoulders slightly, a serious look flashed in his eyes.
Lissandra has always been his most stable trump card, and the probability of losing it is extremely low.
Taobo, which has similar points, is likely to run into them in the playoffs, and this time it can be regarded as an advance preview.
Upon hearing this, Liang Daren nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, even if there are counters on the fifth floor on the opposite side, there are not many mid laners who can take advantage of Ice Girl in the lane in version 12.11.
"Xiaohu once again used Lissandra with a winning rate of 70%." Colonel Guan was full of praise. "What's more important is that Ahri, who is still outside, is very afraid of Ice Girl in the lane. He can do both forehand and backhand at will." counter.”
"But I'm not too worried about Knight's performance. His personal ability and hero pool are quite good."
Many fans of Xiaohu in the audience excitedly shook the support cards in their hands and let out bursts of cheers after seeing the ice girl locked up!
At this time, the white crescent moon frowned,
The opponent's single hand can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
It seems that the new Danny is not a fuel-saving light. In addition, with this starting selection that is clearly in the top half, if he hesitates to drag the top laner to the second round, there will definitely be no good results.
"Huang, let me get a pig girl." Bai Yueya looked embarrassed.
"No problem, I can handle pressure well."
In contrast, Wayward still maintains his optimistic attitude.
The daily life pressure of playing top lane in Taobo is not small. Even if you lose the game with a bastard like Zhu Mei in top lane, SGJJ's killing line will definitely not reach you.
It's totally fine as long as it doesn't affect your work.
Soon, the third floor of Taobo finalized Zhu Mei, announcing that both parties had officially entered the second round of ban.
In the second round, White Crescent Moon chose to target Gu Chuan without hesitation, pressing down the two ADs of Skateboard Shoes and Draven at the same time. This would ensure that Ah Shui could have a more comfortable life in the lane.
But Dany thought better of it.
He deliberately suppressed all the big core heroes that can perform C in the mid lane, including Airplane and Czar, thereby continuing to force Taobo to choose the big core AD in the bottom lane.
In this relatively developed version, it is undoubtedly suicide to not have a core that is suitable for the later stage.
The White Crescent Moon was unable to move forward, so it had no choice but to give up its plan to carry in the middle, and instead found a way to create more early collisions for its left hand.
"TES chose to win Aphelios on the fourth floor, which not only made up for the shortcomings of its own lineup, but also had ADC as a back-up against the Angels even if it was delayed to the late stage."
Hitomi was not surprised by this, "In this case, the counter was finally given to Knight in the middle, and WBG now needs to complete their bottom lane duo!"
The opponent's luxurious treatment of three draws and one grab meant that there were not many versions of heroes that Gu Chuan could play.
[History is written by the victors, it’s time for us to write our own chapter! 】
【Want to come together? 】
A loving bird couple once again appeared in the center of the big screen!
"Xia?!"
Colonel Guan said puzzledly, "This version of Xayah is really not that strong. The poke gameplay has been reduced to the point where it is almost unplayable, and the online suppression power has been greatly weakened. If you use ordinary ADC flow, there will be no pain for A in the later stage. It feels like This move of AD should be a bit helpless.”
The camera showed the WBG battle table,
Gu Chuan seemed to feel something. He raised his head and showed a sunny smile to the camera, and gave a thumbs up.
"Ahhh!"
His fan group in the audience started shouting crazily! Cheer for the players you support!
Hitomi next to her tilted her head,
I don’t see anything forced or helpless about this at all. Have you forgotten, Senior Colonel, that this game still depends on ID in the end?
But Zeyuan still has his own professional opinions and is still analyzing on his own, "And looking at the entire WBG lineup, there is not even a serious front row. I feel that it is too tightrope walking."
"Shinichi, what do you think from the perspective of a professional player?"
"I am also one"
Shinichi, who was fishing in silence, suddenly heard his name and quickly came to his senses, "Ahem! My opinion is completely consistent with yours!"
At the Tao Bo battle table, Bai Yueya showed a rare smile of satisfaction. Apparently he thought so too.
It seems that his previous BP was quite successful,
The other side can only jump over the wall in a hurry, even daring to take AD like this from the sewer, it is simply a matter of life and death.
Soon, after discussing with the team, Taobo decided to add a mid laner Yanque on the fifth floor who can lead the rhythm and can counter the opponent's team a little bit.
In this way, partnering with Lenata can protect Ah Shui's comprehensive output, which is completely full from a functional point of view.
At this point, the lineups of both sides have been determined.
Blue square WBG: top laner Angel, jungler Foyego, mid laner Lissandra, bottom lane Xia paired with Rakan.
Red side TES: Top laner Pig Girl, jungler blind monk, mid laner Rock Bird, bottom lane Aphelios Galenata.
"WBG's lineup is all crispy. It all depends on the ability of Lissandra and Foego in the mid-term. Try to roll the economy. The initiative in doing things is very good."
Colonel Guan was still analyzing the situation loudly, "And the confrontational nature of Taobo's side is not weak at all. After the blind monk and rock bird reach six, the combat effectiveness has steadily improved. The support and top laner can both start the team and protect the queue."
"But I think this version of WBG's midfielder and jungler will have stronger linkage capabilities, and I'm more optimistic about them."
Hitomi could hear his love for Tao Bo in his words, so naturally she had to stand aside to add suspense to the game,
Amid the analysis from the commentary box, the coaches from both sides slowly walked to the center of the stage.
The two looked at each other with confidence in their eyes.
"We'll see!"
