Compared with the first game against GRF, the effect of this game against C9 made Ye Tian a lot satisfied.
Especially Kiana used by Jankos.
The hula hoop girl launched in version 9.13 attracted the attention of countless professional players as soon as it came online. Even in the summer competition when everyone was far from proficient, Kiana's ban rate was around 50%.
Entering the playoffs and bubble competition, Kiana's Ban/Pick is approaching 100% in all major competition areas.
Compared with other new heroes that require a large number of games to accumulate, Kiana's regular output method is the EQ combo that is sure to hit, and there is no possibility of failure.
In terms of mechanics, W picks up the water element and has its own controls. Picking up the grass element not only provides range invisibility, but also provides a movement speed bonus when you are in it. The earth element that can be seen everywhere provides additional damage, highlighting a simple and crude way.
What is even more exaggerated is the ultimate move [Jingcai Jingjing]. As long as there is terrain next to it, you can achieve strong control integrating push and stun.
Let’s convert existing heroes.
Kiana's EQWQ combo is equivalent to a combination of Spider's long-range E + long-range W and melee Q. The grass element invisibility is equivalent to half of Akali's [Xia Formation]. The ultimate move is equivalent to an all-round strengthened Narda. New heroes generally have high base values, and they are definitely No. 1 in the jungle position.
Previously.
Jankos has never been able to use Kiana well.
The reason is not the "addicted to World of Warcraft" news that broke out in interviews with players from the same division.
But the fit is not enough.
Professional players are all talented. Even those weaklings who have wasted their years in the secondary leagues, or even been hammered to the point of being bruised and swollen in the youth training camp and can no longer play, are the kings of the team in the Rank.
A hero with enough compatibility can compete in any number of human-machine games.
If the fit is not good enough, no matter how many games you play, you will not be able to practice it well. Even if it takes several months to grind it out, it will still make people feel a strange smell when put into actual combat.
Addicted to World of Warcraft?
In a platform with a maximum level of 30, how to raise the account to level 25?
Those are all insignificant things.
Due to the long delay caused by physical distance, European players cannot go to the Korean server to compete on the same stage with the LPL and LCK divisions. Except for the certain intensity of training matches, the quality of daily Ranking has basically no improvement effect.
In particular, in order to make up for the impact of player loss, Riot Games has optimized the matching mechanism through forced fill-in.
This is a good thing for most entertainment players. They don’t need to wait for several minutes in the gold and silver sections. They can just click into the queue to start a game with fair-skinned and beautiful wavy girls as quickly as possible.
But in the Master King game where most people only specialize in one position or even one hero, forced filling of positions is just disgusting.
Professional players would rather queue up for half an hour and play a high-quality game where everyone gets the position they are good at, rather than play a big brawl where filling in positions is a mess.
What's more, the person who fills the position is likely to be himself.
In summary.
The more seconds Jankos plays in Rank and the more games he plays in Warcraft RPG have little to do with the poor use of Kiana.
In fact, Jankos did quite well in terms of clearing the jungle, pulling the jungle, maintaining status, and GANK in the early stage. The main flaw is that he can't find the right opportunity to make a move in team battles. He either keeps holding on to his ultimate move and is unwilling to release it, or he works hard. After struggling for a long time to find an angle, he flashed his ultimate move and pushed the air.
The way to improve is simple.
——Just stare at a hero and activate it.
With Ye Tian, Caps and Kuang XiaoP in the bottom lane, the G2 five-man team has no shortage of output cores, let alone harvest points.
As a jungler, Jankos can make a sure profit by completing a one-for-one swap with the opponent's C position.
besides.
A P is easier to take care of from Jankos than A monster.
It's not that Jankos treats one favorably against another, but as an old teammate who has been playing in the middle and jungle, as soon as Ah P takes off his pants, Jankos knows what shape will come out... cough cough cough!
"It has to be Tian!"
"With just one sentence, I, Kiana, can move up the gears!"
After the interview, Jankos returned to the backstage and praised Ye Tian. He immediately disliked his old teammates: "Little Mao and Ah P only wanted me to practice more. One hundred games is not enough to practice two hundred games. They couldn't have told me earlier to focus on a C position. Open?”
"I dare not say that you can win if you drive to C position." Caps made the same expression as Mr. Bean: "We have won the first two games, can we study our opponents in the knockout stage?"
"You also want to learn from Ming Kai?" Ye Tianle said.
"Of course." Caps said confidently: "I even want to study the opponents in the finals!"
Not a Caps fanatic.
After winning GRF and C9, G2's only opponent in the first round of the group stage was HKA.
As the MSI champion + European champion for the whole year, beating the LMS third seed, which is almost a wild card, does it take a lot of effort?
It is true that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, and it is true that a rabbit can kick an eagle. But if HKA is a rabbit, G2 is equivalent to a dragon flying in the sky. It can burn the rabbit HKA to pieces with just a breath. A dish.
"It's really hard to study the opponents in the finals. Let's wait until the group matches are over."
Ye Tian did not accurately judge the teams participating in the S9 finals.
According to the conventional timeline, S9 was the year when League of Legends turned from prosperity to decline.
When the golden generation gradually hands over the baton, and the silver generation and pseudo-silver become the main force in the competition, the comprehensive strength of professional players will no longer increase year by year as before, but will show a downward trend.
The bottom line here is not to say that the S14 team cannot beat the S8 team.
With a deeper understanding and more accumulation, and playing against each other across several seasons, it is difficult to create suspense about the outcome.
But just like Theshy in his twilight years can still educate the new generation of top laners, and the Harkihu in his twilight years will always beat the golden left hand with a promising future, in the dark iron era when the desire to win and lose is not so strong and the commercial value needs to be supported by on-field performance, the new generation It's hard for a genius to develop the mentality of 'I'll give it a try if you don't think there's a chance' in a veteran.
It is not uncommon for players to seek no merit but no fault, or to forcefully maintain data even though they know it will be detrimental to subsequent team battles.
In terms of hard attributes, we measure laning, awareness, support, and teamfights as quantitative values. The Silver Generation and the Pseudo-Silver may be higher than the remaining old guys from the Golden Age.
But it is difficult to fully utilize this hard attribute, and it will always be compromised due to various reasons.
but.
Due to the X factor of Ye Tian, the version trend and the physical condition of some professional players have changed. The gap in public opinion and worth has become more obvious. The strength of the players and even the team has naturally been shrouded in a layer of fog.
Can the comeback SKT, or Faker to be precise, have a third spring?
Will Little Phoenix FPX be able to achieve success and buck the trend, or will they sink all the way in the group stage?
Can IG lift up King Ning and recreate the complete S8?
The RNG pendant team has one more member, Letme, who has not yet retired. Is there any chance of reaching the knockout round around the hexagonal UZI?
Everything is still unknown.
"Congratulations, Brother Tian."
"G2 is 3-0 in the first round."
JackeyLove was chatting among a dozen wolves in Ionia: "A few days ago, some people were not optimistic about Brother Tian's performance. At that time, my brother said that with Brother Tian's level, no matter how the version is changed, it will be random killings."
"Yes." Mala Xiangguo expressed support: "Just look at Theshy and you will know. Theshy is still invincible in the LPL. Brother Tian may be weaker than him? The development version is the most suitable for Brother Tian."
"Brother Tian is famous for his love of growth." Shi Ye's first spear jumped out and boasted.
"If you continue to be so naughty to me, you will be blamed for any problems." Ye Tian teased: "If we play against the provincial team tomorrow, we may really overturn. This year's provincial team is still quite strong."
The hotel where FPX is located. Gao Tianliang, who was looking at the screen, turned dark.
"Wow!"
"I was named by Brother Tian."
Doinb took a look and let out a monkey cry on his chair: "The one we lost to TJ can't be called a flop to the provincial team. That is the LMS No. 1 seed and former world champion. Can losing to them be called a flop?"
"We will really be dead if we lose again." The smart LWX said quietly: "After losing to TJ, we will lose to the European Snakes, after losing to the European Snakes, we will lose to Vietnam. We will lose our face."
"Face? The team is about to be disbanded!" Liu Qingsong said the most serious words in the most relaxed tone: "The No. 1 seed is 0-3. I'm afraid I won't even be able to play in the LPL after I go back. Even if there is an LPL team, I guess it will be the most serious. For the weak ones, it’s better to start from scratch with LSPL.”
"Now it's called LDL." Da Congming said eloquently.
"Okay, okay, LDL." Liu Qingsong was helpless to Da Clever.
"Disband? Xiba! No!" Jin Gong from Xiba slammed the table: "We can't lose. We must win the next group stage!"
Compared with LWX and Liu Qingsong, two young people who have the possibility of starting over, Jin Gong, who was born in 1995, has declined a lot compared to his peak period. He has transformed from the same type of fierce offense as Theshy to pressure-resistant teamfighting.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
For Jin Gong, it will be difficult for him to enter the World Championship again in his life. This tournament may even be his last dance in the professional arena.
Even if you lose, you must lose beautifully.
We must not leave the game with the shame of a losing streak.
"Maya!"
"How can it be disbanded!"
Doinb slapped his chest fiercely and made a hollow sound: "Don't worry, I have figured out the version of the World Championship. From now on, we will not lose a game and advance to the knockout rounds!"
When Xiaotian heard the monkey's bold words, his face was still very dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Several hours passed.
Xiaotian looked at the night scene in Europe in the early morning and took a screenshot of "If we play against the provincial team tomorrow, we might really overturn. This year the provincial team is quite strong." He posted a Weibo post with the text - we can always meet him. Disgusting things, I was in a bad mood, I couldn’t find the rope even if I wanted to hang myself.
As the No. 1 seed in the LPL on the verge of overturning, FPX has attracted the attention of countless players. Although Xiaotian deleted it as soon as he posted it on Weibo, it was still saved by fans.
When the content was reposted on Tieba, it immediately caused an uproar.
First of all, this passage is in Chinese.
Then, RNG and FPX, who are going to play tomorrow, will face off against FNC and GAM respectively. The former is a European giant, and the latter is the leader of Vietnam. Neither of them can be associated with the word "provincial team".
The only ones who speak Chinese and have to play against the provincial team are Ye Tian and the A monster in G2.
To speculate a step further, if the conversation on the QQ interface was a weird one, Xiaotian, who is the main jungler of FPX, would not care about whether Xiaotian was talking about two things. He would definitely not hang himself on Weibo in the middle of the night and make a post in seconds. delete.
Against all odds, there is no longer any suspense as to who sent the conversation.
[There is a saying, Xiaotian overturned twice in a row, it must be uncomfortable to see this sentence]
[Mainly two best-effort games, teammates are not human beings]
[Let me reveal my identity first. I am an EDG fan. Brother Tian’s ridicule of the teams in the same division is a bit too much. Especially since FPX has a game tomorrow, it will easily affect their mentality]
[Don’t be confused, there is no dog barking at Brother Tian in our starch]
[Is there something wrong with Brother Tian’s words? The provincial team is indeed strong this year. TJ can beat the LPL No. 1 seed, and AHQ can go back and forth with last year's world runner-up. Do you think they are weak? To be honest, does it disgust some people? 】
[To be fair, Xiaotian can’t say Brother Tian’s words are disgusting, he should be talking about his teammates]
[Where did this statement come from? Did someone deliberately set the pace? QQ records can be forged casually, but they may not be true]
Various speculations popped up in the post.
It didn't take long for a player to dig out Shi Ye's live video and find the complete conversation.
Taking into account the context, Jack, Xiang Guo, and Shi Ye were the first to have a burst of breast milk. The subsequent responses were reasonable and reasonable, and there was no problem at all. It was Xiaotian Zizi who was so heartbroken that he hanged himself on Weibo, which made onlookers feel baffled.
[Others are chatting normally in the group, but he doesn’t dare to speak and goes crazy taking screenshots behind his back. Is he mentally ill? 】
[After reading this, Brother Tian, this is really not a sarcasm]
[Brother Tian mocked him? I don’t even care whether he is good or not. At least he has to be similar to Faker, Theshy, or UZI in the past two years to be worthy of brother Tian taking it seriously]
[Divided into the weakest group and kneeling twice in a row, I don’t know who is disgusting and who is disgusting]
[No wonder Brother Tian doesn’t go to FPX, let alone 35 million, he can’t go even with 350 million]
[It’s okay to be bad, EDG has always been bad in the World Championship, but people know their level, and they can hear it when Brother Tian points at their noses and scolds them. Not only can the jungler of FPX not talk, but they can’t chat without holding him up]
[If you don’t let scolding happen when you eat something, how can you use love to influence it? 】
[The previous line is outdated, now you have to praise the food, otherwise it will be COS Sunny Baby]
[It made me laugh. Is this the No. 1 seed in LPL? The optimistic family is not so shameful】
Not only did Tieba stir up heated discussions, but Weibo was also full of public sentiments.
Even FPX fans felt that it was inappropriate for Xiaotian to go crazy late at night and asked the club to come forward and give an explanation.
See this.
The FPX club management is in trouble.
How to give an explanation?
No way to give it!
If the 'disgusting thing' refers to Ye Tian, FPX will definitely fall in terms of public opinion.
With Ye Tian's unparalleled fans and popularity, let alone Weibo's hanging, there is no reason at all. Even if there is a barely justified reason, it will still bring an unbearable blow to FPX.
You mean your teammates?
Not yet.
Although FPX overturned two games in a row, facing three weak teams in Group B, the possibility of qualifying is extremely high. They must not let the players fight among themselves at this time and make a big joke of the No. 1 seed being eliminated in the group stage.
Logically speaking, the best way for FPX is to treat it coldly and strive to counterattack in the next four group matches.
Professional teams must always rely on strength and performance to speak for themselves.
If you can counterattack in the group stage, all attacks will be diluted. If you can't counterattack in the group stage... it doesn't matter!
There are too many lice and it doesn’t itch!
However, as managers, Doin Bi Lian and Ms. Li suddenly had a whim and released a piece of gossip - Xiaotian's Weibo post refers to Doinb, who doesn't know any mainstream mid laners and only knows how to play the gangster hero.
The next day.
Ye Tian had just gotten up to wash up and prepare to study the games of RNG, FNC, SKT, and FPX when he received a system prompt.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the title of [Golden Jade Marriage]]
"Huh?"
Ye Tian still didn't know the excitement of this night, he just felt baffled.
Isn’t it a little early to have a perfect match before the S9 finals are over? (End of this chapter)
