Chapter 84 Hitting the Road A skateboarder and a...hedgehog! (First order required)
The classic "SilverScrapes" battle song sounded.
The spotlight shines.
The camera advances from an overhead perspective to the black and gold trophy stand. Above the trophy stand, the Silver Dragon Cup, representing the LPL championship achievements, shines brightly.
In the player channel, the five RNG players, headed by the above single Letme, filed out. The two C positions of UZI and Xiaohu lined up forward, followed by the assistant Xiao Ming and Mala Xiangguo who was at the end.
This distribution seems to represent the attitude of the RNG team.
When the RNG players sit down.
EDG talents have officially made their debut.
Walking at the front is the newcomer top laner who just turned the tide and saved EDG from the fire and water. After that, they are arranged in the order of wild, middle, bottom and support.
"Dear Summoners, welcome back!"
"This is the scene of the League of Legends Professional League-Summer Finals!"
Baby's voice was passionate: "Today, we saw RNG play an unstoppable rhythm and win two games in a row. We saw the uncrowned king UZI within reach of his first championship. We also saw EDG launch a counterattack in desperate situations and equalize. Score, let the game enter the decisive game! "
"When we reach the fifth game of BO5, everything before can be overturned." Miller said, "No matter how you perform in the first four games, the fifth game is the final game. You will either lose or win. Everyone Just throw away all your worries and give it a go!”
"Speaking of which, I want to ask Ruofeng." Wawa turned to the special guest: "If you were a coach on the court, what would you say to the players?"
"If I were a coach, I would tell the players to relax and stop thinking so much." Ruofeng continued: "Winning or losing is secondary... Of course, e-sports is about the results of the game, but from my perspective, The process is equally important - because now we are leading to the World Finals. This game serves as an experience to discover where our problems lie, to compete well in the subsequent World Finals, and to hit higher goals. This is what I would like to see more. of."
"Yes." Miller agreed: "I think what Ruofeng said makes sense. No matter who wins or loses in this final, it will be a rare training and improvement for both teams."
While talking.
The camera first shows the core figure of EDG, the director.
I saw the factory director's thin face, half light and dark under the side spotlight, as if he was considering switching to Ming Kai or Dark Kai form.
The other side.
UZI lowered his head and stared at his fingernails intently. He wondered if the sound-isolating headset was too tight. His face was obviously red. According to the Rambo mechanism, the heat was at least 30%.
[You’re already red before you even start fighting? 】
[Warning, warning! 】
[Report the RNG team and bring your own Rambo to play]
[The dual Rambo system is also ruined. What’s the use of one Rambo?]
[Let you be proud for a while first, and wait until the puppy takes out Vayne and beats you all]
【Wayne? The one who was killed by EZ's piercing soldier Q? 】
The supporting team chased two games in a row, and Starch and Zhuzai clearly took the initiative in the barrage.
"I really miss it..."
Player seats.
The factory director listened attentively for a long time before reluctantly buckling the headset.
"SilverScrapes" is a war song that plays every BO5 deciding game and is familiar to the audience.
But at the beginning, this war song was actually just a simple BGM and was not given any special meaning.
The reason why it became a war song is because in the S2 Global Finals, when WE faced CLG.EU, they endured an eight-hour timeout without any logistical support.
How long to pause.
"SilverScrapes" rings for as long as it takes.
Since then.
"SilverScrapes" has become a representative of the unyielding spirit.
Even Riot Games producers have to admit that the ‘unplugging the network cable’ incident brought shame to the company.
In that battle, the factory director was one of the protagonists.
ID is WE, promise.
After everything was dead and the net was gone tonight, the promise no longer existed, Clearlove also transformed into 7 and made a comeback, but the factory director still couldn't forget the touch of red deep in his heart.
Just then.
The factory director heard a voice coming from the headset.
——"Do you know why Mingkai can't RQ when playing blind monk? Because he only has WE in his heart."
"Hey... you little black guy!!"
"Mingkai, sit down, don't copy the keyboard!"
"..."
Have a few laughs.
After confirmation by the referee, the game will enter the Ban/Pick session.
RNG chose the blue side twice, once passively and once actively, and was penetrated by different tricks. Finally, it changed its original idea and came to the red side through the loser's side selection mechanism, gaining the crucial Counter position.
"I think it's good for RNG to choose the red side."
Miller’s analysis: “Top lane depends on both personal ability and hero relationships. Heroes who are countered are very difficult to deal with. If RNG can play top lane in the first two games, it is unlikely that Kennen will be beaten by Qinggang Shadow. Explosion, the embarrassing situation where Varus was forced to switch to the top lane.”
"Letme choose someone from behind, and it shouldn't be difficult to stabilize the matchup." Ruofeng said matter-of-factly: "Both sides are top laners at the forefront of the LPL, and their strengths should be relatively close. At this time, the hero mechanism is very critical. "
"Indeed." Watanabe read out the deal between the two sides: "EDG banned Big Mouth, Big Tree, and Small Cannon, while RNG banned Qinggang Shadow, Excavator, and Enchantress..."
"Huh?"
"The skateboard shoes are released!"
In this summer season, skateboard shoes have a Ban/Pick rate as high as 71.6, which is a must-have for all military players.
But the embarrassing thing is that the winning rate of skate shoes is only 49.4%, which neither reaches the level of OP heroes nor is it weak enough to become a version trap.
The reason is actually not difficult to understand.
Skateboard shoes are even more extreme than Varus. If you cannot establish a large enough advantage online, let alone demolishing towers and late stages, even team fights will not be able to play their due role. The performance in the hands of ADs of different strengths will be very different. Don't.
UZI is known for its online abilities, and its winning rate using skateboard shoes in the summer competition is 83.3%.
Five wins from six games.
The data is even more gorgeous.
On the other hand, Iboy, who is not good at laning, has a skateboard record of two wins in three games, but his online performance is relatively average. Facing IG's Xihuang, who is famous for his food, the KDA is 4-3-3.
RNG released skateboard shoes, betting that Iboy didn't dare to take them and couldn't hold them!
However.
What I never expected was.
EDG locked the skate shoes without hesitation on the first floor, and it was locked in seconds, without even half a second of hesitation!
"Ouch!"
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
Wawa feels that Iboy has become more powerful: "I think newcomers must have this kind of momentum. The two newcomers in the EDG team are fearless and dare to challenge themselves. This quality is precious to professional players."
"That's right." Miller agreed: "RNG has the two group control heroes of Wine Barrel + Clockwork on the first and second floors, and EDG has Pig Girl + Rock Bird on the second and third floors. The priority of both junglers has been raised. A lot.”
"It shows that both sides want to fight for rhythm." Ruofeng guessed based on the hero: "RNG's ice shooter on the third floor is Ashe. This is a classic Counter matchup in the bottom lane. The range of the skateboard shoes is shorter than Ashe. Xi can't slide if he slows down. After level 6, skateboard shoes have Poke Balls, and Ashe has backhand magic arrows, which basically means he can restrain himself in all aspects."
The first three selections are completed.
Entering the second round of Ban/Pick.
EDG banned the Prince of Demacia, who has a combo skill with Clockwork, and the new assistant Luo, who has recently entered the high-end game with his ability to start a team.
RNG disabled Skate Shoe No. 1's auxiliary Thresh, thought for a while, and held down Lucian, the Holy Lance Ranger.
Fourth floor.
RNG chooses first.
After some discussion, I took out Kalma and paired it with Ashe.
"When Ash + Karma step down, skateboard shoes will have a hard time."
Miller compared heroes: "RNG's design around the bottom lane makes EDG quite uncomfortable. Without skateboard shoes, the pressure will be very high, and it feels even harder to play with skateboard shoes... Wait, EDG has another Varus? "
Confirm that the light effect flashes twice in a row.
EDG's last two heroes are confirmed.
One is Varus.
One is Lao Niu.
Seeing this choice, the audience inside and outside the venue was in an uproar.
[Lucian just came to order, and skateboard shoes come to order again? 】
[Isn’t it? Are you having so much fun? 】
[Brother Kuangfeng, this hero pool is more chaotic than my private life]
【Xinsuo private life】
[Laughing to death, RNG used Ashe Kalma to target skateboard shoes, but I didn’t expect skateboard shoes to be on the road]
[Waiting for a Rambo to change lanes and get blown up]
Barrages started popping up one after another.
"It's actually a top skateboard shoe!"
"Whether it's the professional league or Rank, this seems to be the first time it's happened."
Wawa was extremely surprised: "This summer finals is not only Tian's debut, but also the debut of top laner Lucian and top laner Skateboard. Tian is a player who really dares to fight hard."
"But I don't know how effective it will be." Miller thought about it according to the conventional thinking: "ADC is on the road, and his body is relatively fragile. RNG uses a combination of control + burst heroes in the jungle. On the road, one should be caught and killed... Oh, RNG The big bugs were taken out on the fifth floor, which was pretty good too!”
"We all know that the big bug has a very strong battery life. As long as it survives the first few levels, has higher blood regeneration and better equipment, it can ignore the consumption of long-range heroes."
"After level 6, combined with the wine barrel, it will be easy to eat the skateboard shoes with one set."
RNG player seat.
Coach Feng Ge and top laner Letme also have the same idea.
"His operation is indeed strong. Yan Junze, if you use offensive heroes to fight him, it will not be easy to win."
Brother Feng explained the reason: "So you don't need to fight with him. Just resist the pressure first and wait for Liu Shiyu to come up and arrest people."
"Understood!" Letme nodded: "The big bug can use Counter Kennen as a backhand, and Counter skateboard shoes are easier. I use cloth armor shoes and watcher armor, and he won't lose blood when he hits me."
"That's the truth!" Xiaohu said plausibly: "Kenan can't hit big bugs even with mixed damage, and skateboard shoes are pure AD, not to mention, if you save 2,000 yuan in seven or eight minutes to buy armor, he will be useless."
"It's still too tender." The redness on UZI's face faded a lot and returned to the 10% temperature state: "Liu Shiyu, you don't need to help me catch this scene. Just come and squat nearby. If you have a chance, go and put on some skateboard shoes. Catch him to death and let him go wild in front of me!"
"Okay." Mala Xiangguo said only one word. "Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead!" UZI became excited: "Knock him to pieces on the road and let him know how valuable the professional league is!"
Commentators, coaches, and players all have the same view.
Offstage.
GSL has even launched a team building mode.
[Miren still has some professional knowledge, much better than a doll that can only scream.]
[The big bug killed the skateboard shoes and stabilized them]
[Let me tell you a joke. Stormy Dog felt that he had turned the tide and made a big splash, and then he was beaten into a breach and sent back.]
[I feel happy thinking about his expression after losing]
[RNG must win, go for it! 】
[Lucian won against Rambo once, so he thought he could take any AD. Letme use the tank as a backhand, and the game would be over]
[If you don’t understand, just ask, which Rambo did Lucian win?]
[Fuck me, I buried the pigs up to my neck and still output against the wind]
[Huang Za thinks he won? Who was beaten twice in a row? 】
[Use the sword of the Ming Dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty? Didn't this big bug eat up that stupid skateboarder on the road? 】
[Do you dare to say that you won’t take the dog to bathe and send it on the road? 】
Amid the quarrel between fans on both sides, the two coaches walked to the center of the stage, shook hands and exited.
The camera transitions on the Silver Dragon Cup.
Immediately turn into Summoner's Rift.
Blue side: EDG
Red side: RNG
Top order: Skateboard shoes vs Big Bug
Jungler: Pig Girl vs. Barrel
Mid laner: Rock Bird vs. Clockwork
AD: Varus vs. Ashe
Assistant: Lao Niu vs. Karma
[EDG——Come on! 】
[RNG——Come on! 】
The fans at the scene shouted three times each in the order of blue and red, and the volume was evenly matched and difficult to distinguish.
"This is the last game of the LPL in the entire 2017 season. Two teams that have been entangled for nearly two years will compete on this stage."
"No matter who wins or loses, I don't think there will be any regrets."
Wawa got to the point: "The fifth decisive game of BO5 has begun. Let's take a look at the first-level handling of the two teams. In terms of eye position, EDG still prefers protection."
"In terms of talent, the skateboard shoes are war zeal, and the big bug is...the courage of the colossus?" Miller thought for a moment and understood the reason: "Indeed, even if the big bug is immortal, it can't be triggered. It's better to bring the colossus, Q You can get a shield by knocking skateboard shoes away with your skill, and the cornerstone talent is very targeted.”
"Yes." Ruofeng agreed: "Other positions are relatively conventional. AD is War Lord's Bloodlust, mid laner is Thunder, jungler is Stoneborn Contract, Karma is Windspeaker, and Lao Niu is Colossus."
In 1 minute and 15 seconds, the entire army attacked.
UZI entered the Xiaolong Pit and inserted an ornament eye into the grass behind the red BUFF wall.
It seems that he wants to guard against the factory director.
pity.
EDG had set up a field of vision in this bush twenty seconds ago and happened to notice this scene.
Ye Tian instantly switched perspectives.
A mark was placed on the eye position.
Take the extraction + red potion and head towards the upper part of the river.
Using most heroes, Ye Tian will choose the talent distribution of 18-0-12, obtain the [Insight] sub-item in the Resolute system, and reduce the summoner skill CD by 15%.
With skate shoes, it's 18-12-0.
There is no shortage of displacement in skateboard shoes, and [Ruthless], which causes 5% extra damage to heroes below 40% health, is the top priority.
In another sub-item, Ye Tian chose [Bounty Hunter] instead of [Bullying], giving up the stable 2.5% damage bonus to moving damaged units and gaining a maximum damage bonus limit of 5%.
Attributes with an appearance rate of less than 5% trigger the [If Not in a Group] bonus, allowing Ye Tian's already excellent operations and reactions to reach a higher level, reaching a true ceiling level.
No matter which aspect, playing is the limit!
Following the river into the red square triangle grass, Ye Tian waited quietly with a spear in his hand. Not long after, a big bug using the skin of a tyrannosaurus came into view.
"Sure enough, it's here!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Tian's mouth.
Don't rush to do it.
First place an eye in the grass to eliminate the small probability of being hit in the face by the belly of the barrel.
Waiting for the big bug to approach step by step and walk to the middle of the wall. No matter which path he took to get back to the tower, he would have to make a long circle. Ye Tiancai took the initiative to attack.
Whoosh——
The bloody spear flew out and hit the big insect.
A blood-red number -55 floated above the big bug's head.
For a big bug with Dolan Shield going out and having an upper limit of 655 health points, 55 damage doesn't seem like much. The commentator didn't take this scene too seriously when he saw it from the director's lens.
but.
As a professional player, Letme was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Other heroes can hit 55 with A, and they can hit one or two hundred points if they chase all the way. Skateboard shoes can move infinitely, and the concept is different!
not to mention.
The summoner skill of skateboard shoes is still sprint + flash!
I really want to die!
As expected by Letme, the skateboard shoes shot out, and dots of streamer effects lit up under his feet - he started sprinting immediately!
The second spear!
The third spear!
Hit the skateboard A three times in a row, enter the grass in front of the stone beetle before the big bug, avoid the ground spike generated by the big bug's Q [rupture], and shoot the fourth and fifth spears one after another!
The sixth spear hit the big bug that ran back to the tower.
The seventh spear entered the tower and shot. Although it withstood an attack from the defense tower, the big bug could hardly touch the skateboard shoes in the early stage. This loss can be recovered slowly by relying on the basic blood recovery.
E [Tear] is cast at the extreme range, tearing open the tough flesh of the big bug, and inflicting a lot of damage!
With the continuous superposition of [War Zeal] and the small talent [Ruthless], the skateboard shoes can suppress the big bug's health by more than 500 points in one attack!
More than five hundred!
【Holy shit! 】
[Just start sprinting at level one, it’s too fierce]
[How can you play like this? You hand over the summoner's skills before the laning starts, and you are risking your life? 】
[Huang Za is about to cry, blowing on the big bug Counter skateboard shoes, and was beaten home directly at level 1]
[Is there a big insect on the opposite side? I thought there was a new hedgehog]
[Fuck, what a hedgehog! 】
【……】
"ah?!"
"Letme was immediately disabled!"
The baby was dumbfounded: "It is now 1 minute and 33 seconds, and the army line is about to reach the outer tower. If Letme doesn't go back to replenish the state, he won't even dare to go up to gain experience... When he goes back to replenish the state, he must hand in the teleportation, otherwise he will lose a lot."
"We still have to go back." Miller saw the return light effect lighting up around the big bug: "You can still play it if you throw a teleport, but it will explode directly without gaining experience. Tian's skateboard shoes are a bit unreasonable. Let's fight first. You change a summoner skill."
"The exchange is very profitable." Ruofeng pointed out: "Sprint once every 180 seconds, teleport every 300 seconds, and once the sprint and teleport are exchanged, EDG's bottom lane will be very safe... Huh?"
"Director, this is..."
Talking and talking.
Ruofeng discovers special trends.
In this game, both Factory Director and Mala Xiangguo started with the help of the double lane.
The difference is that after the Mala Xiang Guo defeated the blue BUFF, the second target was the Three Wolves, taking the conventional jungle route.
After the factory director took the red BUFF, he went to...
Get off the road!
——The hero who inserted the ward through the wall before was one of Ashe and Karma. In other words, RNG only has one accessory eye left in the bottom lane. According to conventional logic, this accessory eye will be inserted into the triangular grass after the line is pressed.
Based on this, the factory director used a trick to capture him at the second level!
“The factory director will show off like this every time he comes to a critical situation.”
Wawa lowered his voice: "The movement is very essential, and it avoids the field of vision perfectly. UZI's position is very dangerous... he was pushed up by the factory director!"
The pig girl rushed forward and knocked away Ashe, who is also a Freljord sister. Iboy used healing to speed up his teammates. Meiko followed up with a decisive cross-dodge. Q [Earth Shatter] raised his fists and smashed down hard!
Bang——
Debris splattered everywhere.
Before Ashe landed, she flew up again, and the healing spell she used was ignited, suppressing half of her recovery.
Pig Girl stacked four layers of [Eternal Frozen Field] passive, hit an ice-breaking blow, and killed Ashe's head.
"Yes, yes!"
"UZI is determined to die and doesn't intend to hand over his own flash."
Miller watched the battle: "The factory director got the first drop of blood. I have to say that the factory director is really experienced player, especially the opponents in the competition area. The factory director is too familiar with it."
"In this game, the factory director made a preemptive strike and used his experience to make a detour and help EDG open the situation in the bottom lane." Ruofeng pointed out the significance: "The first dragon is an earth attribute. As long as there are no big surprises, the earth dragon will That’s what the EDG team has in store.”
[Catch the second level and you’re done]
[The bottom lane asked me to go, why don’t I go (Little Bear spreads his hands)]
[Feikai is good at catching bathing dogs]
[In addition to calling junglers, what else can you do? If you have the ability to line up normally]
[Are you okay? This is a professional league. Do you think this is your bronze round? 】
[I have played Mala Xiang Guo more times than the factory director, but EDG cannot be caught in the bottom lane, and the dog in the bath will die if caught]
[Don't be arrogant, the windy dog will die faster if you go on the road! 】
During the game.
The camera switches to the spicy hot pot.
The factory director started doing things and naturally exposed his position.
So.
Mala Xiangguo, who is also a jungler, will definitely go to places where the factory director cannot support...protection?
“Why is the big bug half-healthy again?”
Wawa shouted out everyone's thoughts: "Letme still has half health after handing in the teleport, Tian crosses the line and overwhelms people, Letme can't even enter the experience area?!"
I was going to finish writing two chapters and 10,000 words at the same time, but ended up writing a little slower...
Post this chapter first, the next one will come soon.
At least 1.5W today!
