Chapter 130 The portal trick! Human testing site!
When the audience heard the name of the team, the crowd started to scream again.
Although the Madison Theater is not too big, due to the easy sell-out of tickets, the dense space of the small venue is more able to gather the volume, and the domestic and foreign audiences are also very enthusiastic.
But Jiejie looked a little nervous: "Guigui, is this auditorium so close to the stage!?"
"The key is that these people don't wear masks, and they don't let us wear masks," Brother Shengqiang emphasized.
Due to the compulsory rules of the competition, players are not allowed to wear masks during the competition. They only provide a very considerate policy of "if you are infected, you can participate in the competition in isolation."
For example, in the qualifying stage, FNC had an embarrassing scene where all five people were recruited, and five air e-sports chairs were directly placed on site to compete remotely with the opponent.
However, the bearded host at the scene obviously did not pay attention to the changes in everyone's expressions, and loudly called out the opponent who was the opening match of Group A.
"Next, let us welcome the veteran dynasty from the European LEC region! G~~Rabbit!"
Only two familiar faces took to the stage.
G2 in S12 has gone through a round of major changes. After Ah P and Ou Cheng have withdrawn one after another, there are only two veterans left, mid laner Caps and jungler Jankos, who can still be recognized by old players at a glance.
"The first opening match of the S12 group stage is about to begin! Players from both sides are invited to step onto the stage!"
The live European and American commentary stations took over the live broadcast.
What came into view were the two legendary veterans of G2, Perkz Ah P and another legendary veteran Rekkles Ou Cheng sitting at the commentary desk!
The teams of these two failed to enter the World Championship this year, and they have been on vacation recently. Naturally, they were happy to receive guest commentators for this opening game.
Waiting for the debugging stage, the bearded commentator excitedly stirred up the topic.
"So what do the two G2 stars think of this game??"
Faced with the question of the old owner and the defending champion, the two people's answers were very personal.
The steady Ou Cheng chose to play it safe: "I think it's 50-50. Although EDG is the No. 1 seed, I heard that their mid laner this year is a newcomer. As you know, newcomers' first World Championship usually doesn't go well. I believe in Caps!”
Ah P on the other side laughed out loud: "You're right, the winning point today is the mid laner!"
“I remember that there was a No. 1 seed in the LPL back then. Their mid laner also entered the World Championship for the first time. He was originally invincible in the region, but as soon as he arrived at the World Championship, he was defeated by the LEC and LCS in turn, and was eliminated directly in the group stage. La! ”
"What's the name of that team's mid laner? Sorry, my memory isn't very good lately, it's this, this!"
Ah P vividly made the action of "putting up a bow and shooting an arrow" - and then his entire upper body suddenly made an exaggerated "reverse" turn!
[Hey, memories that have been dead for many years are attacking me]
【! The victory is not ours at DGL】
[Damn it, it’s a bit like that. If you think about it, there might be a curse on the champion. When imp won the championship and went to LGD, they ended up in the top 16. The next year, they bought Ma Rui, who had just won the championship. , and as a result, he didn’t even make it to the World Championship! 】
[Bullshit, it doesn’t look like it at all. Goldv only entered the World Championship for the first time after a few years of debut. Master Ye entered the World Championship in the first year of his debut. Is there any comparison? 】
[I knew it would be fun to watch the live broadcast. These European and American fun-loving people don’t really think G2 can win, do they? Set a small goal, EDG ends in 20 minutes! 】
The bearded commentator was very satisfied after hearing the two speeches: "Okay, let's take a look at everyone's pre-match predictions"
The director will present the prediction results of the three commentators and hosts and the three in-room analysts side by side in front of the audience.
The uniform black and white team logo!
The bearded commentator saw this and asked very provocatively: "Didn't you both say that G2 has a chance? What's going on!"
Europe shrugged innocently.
Ah P lowered his head and looked left and right at the desktop: "Is this button broken!?"
For a brief pre-match entertainment, the BP screen quickly appeared on the screen.
"EDG was on the blue side first and disabled the big tree first, while G2 disabled Akali!"
"Huh? EDG's coach looks so familiar!"
Ah P noticed Ming Kai standing behind the EDG player bench.
But at this time, Mingkai seemed to be just standing behind the mid laner's gaming chair, tilting his head as if looking in the direction of the opponent's keyboard.
The director obviously noticed something was wrong here and cut a close-up side view to the EDG player seats.
Then he could clearly see that in front of the mid laner's keyboard, there was a notebook full of writing.
If you look closely, you can see that Ming Kai's lips have very little movement.
On the contrary, the young man from the winning unit never stopped talking!
"What does this mean!" Ah P's eyes widened in surprise: "It looks like their mid laner is BP? Then what is Klin'er doing here!?"
"Um, Perkz, our rules stipulate that each team must have a coach present." The bearded commentator on the other side reminded kindly.
"But, are you asking someone who is participating in the World Championship for the first time to BP?" Ou Cheng's tone was quite unbelievable.
Even if people abroad have heard about some of EDG's deeds, the most they've heard is that the mid laner seems to be very powerful, very good at scientific research, and has seen some operational highlights that have been transferred here.
As for those "Easter egg insider information" that can only be known through "interviews" and "microphones", it is naturally impossible to know too much.
Mingkai obviously just came up to occupy a position.
And with the progress of BP.
Ye Bo also discovered that G2’s understanding of the version was completely different from his own.
The first is the understanding of "medium unit".
In the World Championship version, the changes in the middle lane are relatively minimal, and only the most mainstream heroes are weakened.
The first to bear the brunt are {Tsar}, {Silas}, and {Ahri}, the three top teams in the summer season.
The Czar weakens the damage of W Sand Soldier and the CD of E skill, making the combat effectiveness and survival difficulty in the early stage once again become a test.
Ahri has weakened the charm control time of the most critical E skill.
Sylas's weakening seems minimal at first glance, but it only weakens the base health and the CD and damage of the Q skill.
But you must know that originally, quite a few people in Silas would choose to main Q in the early stage to survive the lane - now they are forced to only main W.
But Silas, who mainly uses W, must hit E if he wants to hit someone. This will undoubtedly increase Silas's operational test to a higher level.
And these are just small heads.
The real biggest impact is: [Stopwatch].
The price of the stopwatch has increased from 600 yuan to 750 yuan, and the synthesis route of the ready-made outfit has directly become nearly 400 yuan more expensive!
The golden body happens to be one of Silas's core equipment.
All of these have caused Silas's winning rate in the passerby game to plummet!
From the perspective of everyone in G2 in recent rankings, they also feel that Sylas's strength is completely insufficient, and it can even be said that he is a bit like a "sewer" hero.
"EDG won Silas! And G2 grabbed the Erlie combination!"
"This G2 BP looks so comfortable. I think the button was broken when I voted before!"
"For a version of Silas, the sewer, how can the opponent get the Erlie combination so comfortably? Moreover, the hot female policewoman in the finals was also banned. This is wrong!"
Ah P freely expressed his opinions on the stage.
But Ye Bo on the other side understood the opponent's BP idea when he saw that the opponent had almost no hesitation in grabbing the Erlie combination.
G2's thinking is still the same "framework" of the summer game - that is, it caters to the durability version and favors a mid-to-late development multi-core lineup.
Of course, this is also the current status of most teams.
Even if you understand the new version, you must first try to modify it on the original framework.
EDG's game can be regarded as experimenting with their new understanding of this version.
Each team will have its own version interpretation, and a hundred flowers blooming understanding system will make the game more exciting.
But the final result depends on the test on the field.
After all, the strength of the playoffs is uneven. Except for the match between the two fourth seeds in the China and South Korea division, the other games can only be used as reference, and you even have to be careful about whether they will be taken into a ditch.
As the opening match of the "Group Stage".
There is no doubt that this game will be one that all teams take extremely seriously.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
EDG: Sword Demon, Male Gun, Silas, Skateboard Shoes, Ice
G2: Ornn, Centaur, Ryze, Aphelios, Lenata
"EDG chose a somewhat rare lineup. Although they chose a strong top jungler, they chose Sylas and Kalista, who were severely weakened, against the version. Did they also choose an auxiliary Ice? ”
"Anyway, I think G2 has a better lineup, a very complete lineup!"
"And Caps' Ryze, I believe he will, as our European senior, leave a deep impression on the newcomers from the LPL!"
The on-site commentary desk once again entered the stage of making jokes and making jokes.
Although Ah P is not optimistic about the overall victory, he seems to be very confident in his old teammate Mao Huang.
"Speaking of which, what I am most dissatisfied with personally is that in this year's TOP20 selection, Caps was ranked 20th! But this newcomer was ranked 12th! It's so amateurish!"
"Rekkles, do you think it's possible for Caps to kill alone this time? I guess three times!"
When Ou Cheng heard this, he didn't dare to continue, so he casually avoided the topic.
After all, EDG is the No. 1 seed in the LPL. When voting earlier, it was obvious that there was a strength gap between the two sides.
Ah P came here today just for the show's effect, but Ou Cheng has the baggage of being an idol!
Two days before the start of the competition, the official announced the selection of the top 20 players in this global finals. This is also a routine program before the annual world competition.
However, this selection was obviously quite controversial and was called outrageous!
The most controversial one is that Samsung Double C Chaowei and Chi Di took the top two spots. As the defending champion and the first seed, EDG, the five players were only ranked in the top fifteen.
As a newcomer, Ye Bo only ranked 12th despite his outstanding performance.
And perhaps because of his performance in the LCK Summer Finals, Faker, the second seed in the LCK, was only ranked 19th, almost falling off the list!
As for G2, as the second seed in Europe, only one Caps in the team barely made it to the bottom of the list, showing its loneliness.
As a veteran dynasty in Europe, G2 is naturally unwilling to accept this fact even if they know that the team is no longer what it used to be.
So the best way to prove yourself is to successfully qualify in what is recognized as the death group!
"Oh~! Oh~! Oh~!"
The three people's mother tongue exclamations kept coming from the commentary box.
"Jankos' men are fleeing in the wild area! Why can't anyone come to rescue him! His wild area has been plundered and driven away by Jiejie's male guns!"
"Caps has no chance to move in the middle! Silas's laning style is simply a thief! Isn't he afraid of being caught when he exchanges blood for death!?"
"And in the bottom lane, aren't the skateboard shoes cut off? Why do I feel like I can't hit the lane in the bottom lane!"
After G2 got the perfect lineup that everyone expected, the collapse of the game was completely beyond imagination. Of course, the reason is not simply due to the lineup.
The biggest impact of the World Championship version is on the jungle and bottom lane.
In the original summer version, the importance of the bottom lane can be said to be the key visible to the naked eye. In the durability version, everyone thought that the ADC got the version bonus, and the big-core C position became the core of the carry.
But through the ecological changes in the top unit in the bubble competition and the changes in the bottom lane hero in the World Championship version, Ye Bo saw a transition point.
Big core ADC heroes all need at least 2-piece sets to be effective, and some even require 3-piece sets, which means that they have time to play after at least 20-25 minutes.
But what about the light warrior in the top lane?
The natural attributes of heroes are there, and they can have good combat effectiveness starting from level 6. Most of them have the ability to fight in teams with just one piece of equipment!
For example, Qinggang Shadow's weapon Sword Girl's God's Point; Sword Demon's Star Eclipse or Battle Ax; Kenan's Push Stick; Crocodile's.
So Ye Bo was thinking.
If light-armored warriors who serve as units become the mainstream, and the top laner and mid laner are constructed with stable dual output points, the jungler will often be half of the C position.
Does a team still need to select a core C position in the bottom lane?
If there is no need for the bot lane to assume the core C position——bot lane, what kind of positioning should it be?
This is Ye Bo's experiment.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The lack of soft assist protection in skateboard shoes will limit the space for team battles in the mid-to-late stage, and the lack of hard assist will also weaken the ability to kill in strong lanes. It can be said that there is no late stage at all.
But the seemingly rare and mismatched long-hand combination of skate shoes + ice has the only effect: "Ultimate Line Rights"!
Yes.
Ye Bo's experiment was to see if another system could be formed if he changed the early and late emphasis of the lineup and chose to exchange the late-stage ability of the bottom lane for the ultimate line power in the early-stage.
The line rights in the bottom lane can not only ensure the invasion and safety of the bottom half.
It is also a key node that can be brought about——Xiaolong!
It is the playoff version, Xiaolong who seems to have been "ignored" by everyone!
EDG relied on the superior line rights in the bottom lane, and the male gun invaded the men and horses to force the opponent to switch to the jungle. They attacked Xiaolong on time in 5 minutes, and the 5-minute refresh time was stuck to continue to attack.
If the opponent wants to take over the team, then the side that chooses the ultimate lane power in the early stage and the powerful hero in the early stage fight will undoubtedly have the absolute initiative.
This is why in Ye Bo's vision, Silas's strength will not be affected, and will even increase!
Because in terms of early combat ability, Sylas is definitely second to none, and it has to be the current version of "Battle Sylas" that forces the main W!
And if the opponent does not take over, they will face the threat of "Dragon Soul Group" in the early 20 minutes.
At 20 minutes, a normally developed ADC generally does not have a two-piece set, and even if it does, it is far from its peak power period.
But at this point in time.
But it happens to be the time when most of the light-armored warriors take shape, and it is also the moment when heroes like Crocodile reach their peak combat power in the mid-term!
Replace the combat power and adjust the power point.
The "Struggle for Line Rights" in the lower half is the core of this system!
The lineup chosen by G2 for this opening game happened to be completely defeated by this system.
It's just a pity that because G2's lane strength is really poor, especially the key bottom lane, the effect of the system cannot be fully seen.
The effect of the game shown seems more like the gap in strength between the two sides.
Flakked, a newcomer to the World Championship who was activated in G2's bot lane this year, couldn't resist the pressure against Viper and Meiko, who were originally dedicated to laning.
The Erlie combination can only be said to be average in laning, mainly due to its strong fault tolerance in the mid-to-late stage and the upper limit of team battles with dual ultimates.
But skateboard shoes and auxiliary ice, both are pure line monsters!
With the combination at a disadvantage, being driven out of the jungle, and being targeted in the middle with no way to break free, it was almost natural for him to be knocked out of line!
"This wave of EDG may want to forcefully attack the bottom lane!"
"You must hold on! If this wave is overtaken, it is very likely that the first blood tower and the second dragon will be pushed directly away, and G2's rhythm will completely fall into the opponent's control!"
"The troops have come to the back of the bottom lane and are squatting. The mid laners of both sides are on the way. Sylas stole Ryze's ultimate move and may arrive together!"
G2's bottom lane was in danger of being exhausted, and this wave of troops would rather lose half of the jungle than risk their lives to defend it.
The mid laners of both sides set off almost at the same time!
"YE seems to want to find Caps! Caps, be careful!"
Ryze saw Silas's position based on the defensive eye at the entrance to the river in his own blue zone.
But it was obvious that the EDG team heard the command at this time.
They knew that Silas would stop Ryze, and they had already started to take action!
If Ryze chooses to go on foot to take a detour from the outer wall of the Demon Swamp Frog because he is afraid of being interrupted when he returns to the city, I am afraid that by the time he gets there, the bodies of the three people on his bottom lane will be cold!
Caps is an extremely experienced veteran player. Although his performance has declined significantly over the years, he is absolutely seasoned in wartime experience.
The range of [Warping Path Jump] is 3,000 yards. Ryze, who is in the blue buff, can already fly not far behind the first tower.
Ryze decisively pressed the magic circle under his feet and rushed to the battlefield forcefully!
At the same time, Ryze did not retreat, but took the initiative to walk towards Silas - because he could not get away from the winding circle of the magic circle if he retreated, he might still be interrupted by Silas's flash.
Ryze's EW control lasts 615 yards, which is enough to control the opponent before Silas gets close, and then turn around and sit down!
Of course, Caps also knows that Silas's second stage E has 800 yards, but if Silas wants to use the most extreme distance of the second stage long E, Caps can easily twist it away no matter how dim his eyesight is!
And if Silas flashed E2 and forced his face to interrupt Caps, he would not believe that the other party was so crazy!
Because there is obviously no reason for Sylas to kill Ryze alone here. He just flashes to interrupt the absolute blood loss, and has no ability to retain people later!
When the time comes, Ryze can completely control the opponent and use {Phase Rush} to accelerate, and then turn around and rush down the tower.
Caps thinks well.
But at this time, Ye Bo made something that seemed very abnormal.
I saw Silas casting the [Warping Path Jump] magic circle at the same place.
He wants to fly with Ryze! ?
However, if the two arrive together, obviously even if EDG has the HP advantage, playing 4v4 under the tower and there is still Lenata, the result is not good at all.
However, Silas did not stop and continued walking upward.
[Sneak] Rush forward, immediately approaching Ryze's range!
Ryze raised his hand and threw [Spell Surge], preparing to open the magic book!
But at the moment when the sneak attack narrowed the distance between the two sides to 500 yards, Silas threw the robbery chain forward, and the moment the chain hit - he flashed behind him!
"Reverse Interrupt E Flash!" 》
The captive chain flew forward and hit Ryze, but Silas' figure suddenly moved backwards!
{Syras cannot use Flash when E2 hits, and if he flashes before hitting, it may cause E2 to fail, or Silas will still be pulled closer to the ground after landing}
Therefore, the flash must be handed over in the gap one second before the moment E hits.
Only in this way can we not only hit E2, but also interrupt the displacement of E2!
And the most important thing is that when [Warp Path Leap] gets the enemy's {Hard Control}, it will immediately cancel the 'guidance' cast.
The magic circle under Ryze's feet suddenly disappeared.
But Silas, who turned his back and flashed back, happened to step into his own magic circle!
"whatthe~~~~omg!"
"Caps was interrupted! But YE flew over! He came but he didn't come!"
"It's like a magic trick!"
“Totally spicy!!!”
The three G2 people shivering under the tower saw the portal behind them and were still looking forward to the rescue of their teammates.
But there is only one Silas waiting to come!
3 over 3, the duo of G2 in extremely poor condition are extremely dangerous.
Not to mention that the mid laner with the strongest combat effectiveness failed to arrive. Instead, the opponent's mid laner arrived and it became a 4 over 3!
Although Sylas no longer has ER, the three layers of passive he accumulated upon landing, plus the damage from his main W, have not been too affected by this.
The perfect resistance switch was in place, and the three of G2 were overwhelmed by the tower!
The European and American commentators at the scene were howling like ghosts.
However, they were not familiar enough with the EDG game and had not yet discovered what was truly terrifying - three heads eaten by Silas!
When back online again.
Caps originally thought that Sylas's wave would be more stable since he had no flash, no ultimate move, and carried a large bounty.
But he still doesn't understand the other person very well.
Because in Ye Bo's damage calculation, Ryze has already entered the kill line!
Due to the influence of the mythical version, currently no Ryze will buy the Time Staff as a {legendary equipment}.
That would mean that Ryze would have to wait for the three-piece set of mythical outfit + archangel + time staff to be able to exert its power, and the forming period would be ridiculously slow.
Therefore, at this point in time, Ryze's body is not much different from that of an ordinary mage.
Silas pushed the line to the tower, and once again used the "Outside the Tower E" technique. E, Ryze entered the tower, and landed without aggro, but successfully deceived Ryze's key EW control!
Then use the 20% extra skill haste due to the equipment advantage, plus the CD difference of being stuck for a period of E1 limit time.
Silas switched to his E skill 2 seconds ahead of schedule, and sure enough, he entered the tower again to take action!
The unsuspecting Caps was hit in the face with a set of chain military punches!
In the original fight against Scout, Silas was able to almost kill Zoe with full health while naked, let alone three kills at this moment!
"Caps~~~!"
"Go over the tower and kill alone! Oh my God, what is he doing!"
Ah P, who was still bragging about the Caps before the game, finally showed his true colors and became the loudest person in the audience.
[Have all the new mid laners in the East evolved to this level? I remember that the local mid-lane players in their region in the past few years performed very averagely! ? 】
[Caps is the only Dharma King left in Europe, so why is he like a sandbag in front of YE! 】
【DOCTORYE! DOCTORYE! DOCTORYE! 】
[I heard that YE is the solo kill king of LPL. There is no mid laner in LPL who has not been solo killed by him. Now even Europe has become his colony——Fortunately, our North American mid laner will not be soloed by him. Kill, so it proves that NA>EU! ! ! 】
【? The only reason why NA won't be singled out is because no one from NA is in Group A in the group stage, and NA will never make it to the quarterfinals! 】
[Those who came from LPL for sightseeing can only say that Tu Baotou is too stubborn, and I never expected that Silas would dare to let me go! 】
When the game reached 15 minutes, the score had already reached 13-0, almost all three routes were blooming.
The atmosphere of the entire venue has changed from the hustle and bustle of the entire venue to one that is distinct.
Many European spectators were holding their heads.
Although they also knew that their team's winning rate was lower, no one expected to be beaten like this before the game, and they were completely powerless to fight back!
G2 was completely led by the nose, as if they couldn't find a point to counterattack, and they just felt like their whole body was being restrained.
The entire game almost became a slaughterhouse for EDG!
Of course, for EDG, it is more like a "human experiment field."
At 21 minutes and 58 seconds, EDG used Dragon Soul + Dragon BUFF to flatten the opponent's base.
The final score fell to a head ratio of 17-2.
A bloody ending to this opening game!
The moment the base crystal exploded, the entire North American scene was in an uproar!
