The game ended, and the post-game data was switched out.
In Ye Tian's first game of the S8 World Championship, he used Sword Princess against Urgot, one of the strongest top laners in the version, and slashed 13 heads in 18 minutes, which was more kills than many teams in the entire game.
Of course, there is a reason why Galio drives up the Predator at level 4, and uses every ultimate move on the top lane, but it is more a reflection of personal ability. If the Sword Queen's own advantage is not strong enough, how can Galio support it? There is no way to whip Urgot like a top.
Won two games.
This is a reassurance for all EDG fans.
Compared with last year's dangerous pass on the edge of the cliff, this year EDG started with a score of 2-0, beating the other two teams in the same group except KT, and can be said to have locked in the top eight spots in advance.
As the leading U-level player in the gap, Ye Tian has shown that he is far superior to S+ players and is considered worthy of the title.
certainly.
In the eyes of strong teams, EDG's game against VIT does not have reference value. What needs to be paid attention to is EDG's match against KT tomorrow. Let's see if EDG, which invited Tong Tiandai to come out, can show the same performance as last year when facing the LCK No. 1 seed. Dominance.
After the handshake session, Ye Tiangang was about to leave when he received an official interview invitation.
The person responsible for the interview is LCK veteran commentator Roaring Emperor.
Taking into account that he was at the Korean home court and would be easy to get into trouble if he was too disrespectful, as well as the Roaring Emperor's high professionalism, Ye Tian agreed to the invitation and came to the interview seat on the side of the stage with the translator.
"Once again welcome the only U-level player-Tian to accept our exclusive interview!"
Roaring Emperor guided Ye Tian to greet the audience and put on a respectful attitude: "Tian is participating in a competition in South Korea for the first time. How does it feel? How does it feel to win his first victory in the group stage?"< br>
"It feels pretty good. The audience is very enthusiastic. Thank you very much for your support." Ye Tian answered this commonplace question with ease: "I am very happy to get my first victory in the group stage. I hope I can give everyone a hand in hand." A satisfactory answer.”
Without waiting for the translation, the audience who had not yet left the venue cheered for Ye Tian's words, which showed how high the proportion of fans was.
"Oh——"
The Roaring Emperor dragged out a meaningful syllable: "Tian has not participated in any official competition this year except the Asian Games. I would like to ask Tian which opponent he most wants to play against in the 2018 Global Finals, or the most Which team do you want to play against? ”
"There is a saying that goes well: There are no underdogs in the World Championships." Ye Tian prepared the groundwork before continuing: "In my eyes, any team that can make it to the World Championships deserves respect. Every team that can make it to the World Championships stage Professional players are all strong in their respective divisions, and I look forward to playing against anyone.”
[Let me go, Brother Tian’s emotional intelligence is so high? 】
[What did you say? Brother Tian has always had a high emotional intelligence. From the beginning to the end, he took off the underpants of three fools: Bath Dog, Sun Yeyou, and Wu State, and he didn’t even hold the monkey accountable]
【How to calculate Mingkai every day】
[Iron powder is black, but potassium powder is white, do you understand? 】
[Shouldn’t Mingkai squirt? As for the blind monk scene in 4396, I was disgusted even after watching it]
[Nine blind monks and one ball, let’s find out about the record of 3-9-6 on the fourth floor]
[Is that called squirting? That's called Internet mouth substituting! 】
[Don’t you understand what Brother Tian means? Everyone is looking forward to fighting anyone = it’s the same with anyone]
[There is a saying, Brother Tian really hits everyone the same, if anyone is dissatisfied, let him go up and try]
The audience has full confidence in Ye Tian.
After listening to the translator's narration, Roaring Emperor glanced at the prompt card and selected one of the prepared questions: "It can be seen from the first two group matches that except for Tian, the status of other starting and substitute members of EDG is also poor. Very good, what kind of team do you think this EDG is now?”
This World Championship.
Officially, the participating teams and players are divided into six levels from U to B.
But EDG was not rated.
Naturally, there was a lot of discussion from the outside world.
Some people think that EDG's bottom line is also S+, and can even be classified as G-level like RNG. Some people think that EDG, the LPL third seed that advanced through the bubble game, is far inferior to last year, even with Tong Tiandai in charge. An S-class.
"I think EDG has a chance against any team."
Ye Tian did not answer directly, but changed to a snake oil saying: "Especially since we have the legendary veteran Ming Kai in EDG. Everyone knows that Ming Kai is best at killing familiarity. There is an old saying that once you get old, you will get familiar again. After the fight, After two games, Mingkai is very familiar with his opponent.”
A smoke bomb is deliberately placed here.
The factory director is in average form this year and only played ten games in the spring and summer combined.
However, the small number of games played means that there are few samples for other teams to study. Coupled with the prestige accumulated by the factory director over the years and the outstanding performance in the first group stage, no one dares to say that the factory director does not have the ability to appear.
After all, the jungler does not have high operational requirements, and the requirements for practicing heroes according to the version are not as demanding as other positions. The most important thing is experience and understanding of the overall battle situation. Last year, the factory director appeared at the most appropriate time at the most appropriate time. Location, and then playing the most pig-nosed operation' without losing the title of Wild King. Sitting on the EDG bench this year is enough to scare many teams.
"Tian speaks very highly of Clearlove players!" Roaring Emperor said this in a casual manner.
"Of course, Ming Kai is my idol." Ye Tian said seriously: "In my eyes, no professional player can beat Ming Kai. The only thing that can beat Ming Kai is time, because... time is a butcher's knife. ”
【? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】
【Fuck! 】
【Absolutely amazing hahahahaha】
【A good year is like a butcher's knife】
[Brother Tian: Mingkai? I will be black forever! 】
The audience is happier than the last.
"Ah ha ha ha."
Roaring Emperor could understand the common saying and laughed a few times: "The last question I want to ask Tian is also something that many professional players and high-scoring players want to ask - Tian can always do it with absolute accuracy online. Use your advantage to crush your opponents. What’s the secret to doing this? ”
"The secret is to call the jungler and mid laner to support me on the road like crazy. As long as my teammates come more often, I will always be better than my opponent." Ye Tian gave a method suitable for everyone.
"Sure enough!" Roaring Emperor echoed: "Thank you player Tian for accepting our interview. I hope Tian and the EDG team can achieve great results in the next games Smecta!"
End the interview.
Ye Tian returned to the lounge.
First, he ran behind the sofa and used Qin Wang's circumambulation move on Ming Kai.
After playing around for a while, everyone from EDG walked out of the venue and boarded the official bus.
The group stage is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the schedule is easy. Only three small games are played in four days, and one game a day can leave a day off. At this stage, the most important task is to become familiar with the World Championship version. Find the most suitable context to win the game and prepare for the second stage of three games a day.
Many teams that did not perform well in the first stage counterattacked in the second stage. Two teams, EDG and FNC, even set a record of qualifying from a desperate situation after 0-3 in the first round. This shows the importance of understanding the context of the version. How high. After watching IG’s crushing game against FNC.
Ye Tian took the takeaway from Maokaiding and started eating.
The accommodation provided by Bangzi is full of amenities, no better than the Asian Games Village in Jakarta. Fortunately, there are no drug tests in the S-series events, so you can eat whatever you want.
After eating half of the barbecued pork, half a plate of black bean sauce, dace, fish and wheat vegetables, and a box of rice, Ye Tian took the iced Coke that Ray brought to him, took two sips, and scribbled a few lines on his notebook.
"Huh?"
"Do you think we should target IG's support?"
Abu walked up to Ye Tian and looked behind him, with doubts: "IG is the top, middle and wild trident, and the new AD is much stronger than before, don't they need to target them?"
Theshy, who entered his peak period early, and Rookie, who has been the dean diligently for three years, are undoubtedly the two sharpest spears of IG. Ning transitioned from AD to jungler. After a period of trough, he relied on his courage to fight and dare to fight. His style + top lane is his understanding, and he has successfully changed the word 'king' from a derogatory meaning to a positive one.
JackeyLove, who has made IG wait for two full years, lags far behind the above three in terms of performance on the field. He is the main culprit of IG's loss to RNG. He was so criticized that he wrote a short essay on Weibo, claiming that he could still be saved.
From a conventional point of view, either we should target the two strongest points of IG, the top and middle, or we should target the weak link of JackeyLove.
For auxiliary...
Even MadLife, who has earned the title of 'God of Support' and single-handedly reversed his support status, does not have such a high weight in the World Championship.
"Aiming at the support, we are targeting IG's mid and upper jungle."
Seeing that everyone was listening, Ye Tian explained: "IG's style is to fight all the time. No matter the advantages and disadvantages, no matter whether they have resources or not, they will fight against the opponent. Even if they are behind in numbers, they have to force a fight. The reason why they dare to fight like this It’s because their personal abilities at every point are strong enough, the consequences of losing are small, and the benefits of winning are high.”
"I understand this. When Theshy kills the opponent to 0-2, the line is over. If he kills himself to 0-2, he can still counterattack. If he counterattacks, he will return to the advantage." The factory director saw it very clearly.
"Yes, that's the truth." Ye Tian nodded: "However, when encountering a team that will not be destroyed by small-scale team battles, IG must pick up the 5v5 large group. In the 5v5 large group, IG has several problems. .”
"The first one is that JackeyLove is unstable, and it is stable and unstable - you can see from JackeyLove's first-person perspective that every time he hits a critical moment, JackeyLove's operating frequency will slow down a lot. This is why he often dies suddenly. Reason.”
Many people think that JackeyLove is simply slow to respond.
Actually not accurate.
When JackeyLove is chasing someone, his reaction speed is very good. He can purify and control easily without any delay. He can even avoid the barrel E by getting close to his face.
When being chased, JackeyLove's reaction speed dropped to the point where it was even worse than that of an ordinary passerby.
This is also reflected in team battles.
The more difficult the situation, the more confusing JackeyLove's operations become.
In Ye Tian's eyes, JackeyLove should be the opposite type of contestant. He will not explode in the face of excessive pressure, but will be crushed.
"Since JackeyLove is not enough to serve as a stable carry point, the shortcomings of IG's other C position have been exposed. Rookie has been the director for too long. He has to not only have an advantage in the lane, but also roam to help his teammates. Asking teammates to make equipment that can support team battles allows Rookie to develop the habit of not taking advantage of troops during the laning period. ”
"As long as Scout keeps brushing, he will be much more useful than Rookie in the mid-to-late stage."
Ye Tian pointed out IG's second problem and continued: "Double C is the kind of stability that is unstable. IG must rely on top lane carry. Top lane carry has one core requirement... I don't need to explain this requirement. Right? ”
"I know, I know!" Iboy jumped out to answer: "Top laner Carry's requirement is that his teammates must be able to start a team!"
The hero in the top lane has the highest attributes and the most sufficient combat power obtained from 1-2 pieces of equipment. He is the backbone of team battles in the early and mid-term. As long as the development can lead by half a big piece, the top laner is enough to take care of starting a team, taking damage, output, Harvest this series of tasks.
but.
If you drag it backward, it won't work.
The C position develops to 2-3 big pieces, and the damage gradually takes shape. The top laner takes the initiative to rush up and start a wave, absorbing the control and damage, and will be suppressed to residual health. Next, he can only do OB on the edge, hoping that his teammates will control the team. The battle is well fought.
EDG relies on Ye Tian's carry, and the task of starting a team falls on the jungler and support.
This year, neither Karsa nor Meiko are suitable for team-starting heroes, and even Scout was forced to practice Glacier Amplifier Ahri.
"Ban Baolan's team-starting hero, and Theshy will have to come and attack!" Abu's eyes flashed.
Thirty million?
value!
So worth it!
Before Ye Tian joined, Abu couldn't figure out how to fight IG. Even if Ray transformed into the horse Ray, he couldn't withstand Theshy's indiscriminate bombardment.
After Ye Tian joined, he found IG's flaw in just a few sentences.
The only regret is that we didn't sign a 3-5 year long contract with Ye Tian last year, but thinking about Ye Tian's determination to only sign for one month... No matter how much money EDG offered, we still couldn't negotiate.
The next few games were not as upset as the previous two days. RNG and Gen.G from the LPL and LCK divisions respectively won the victory.
October 13th.
AFs defeated the Buffalo PVB from Vietnam and won their first victory in the group stage, bringing their record to 1-2 and keeping their hope of qualifying.
G2 used happy play to defeat Flash Wolves FW, fully interpreting the title of European Optimistic Family.
IG blasted 100T without any suspense and continued to work overtime forever.
GRX lost to VIT, TL defeated MAD, and the second and third seeds from the LMS division all lost to Europe and the United States, becoming the confirmed fifth division.
"Welcome back summoners, this is the scene of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals - Group Stage. I am Zeyuan."
"I am Wang Duoduo."
"I am Su Xiaoyan."
Two outstanding new-generation commentators and a female commentator with the strongest understanding of the game appeared together, which shows how much the officials attach great importance to the final game of the first round of the group stage.
"After watching four days of competition, the most exciting battle is about to come!"
"It is the defending champion EDG from our LPL division, facing off against KT, the number one seed in the LCK division!"
Zeyuan stirred up the atmosphere: "Both teams are in very good condition and won the first two group matches very easily. Compared to KT, the pressure on EDG's shoulders is a little greater - a team in the LPL division. They haven’t lost yet. If EDG loses, it will be their first defeat in the LPL region.”
"Indeed." Wang Duoduo looked at it from another angle: "However, the LCK division is not in very good shape, and KT also shoulder all the expectations. This focus battle will not be easy for everyone."
"That's right." Su Xiaoyan agreed: "When two teams compete, the most important thing should be the top lane. What kind of effect Brother Tian can have against Smeb, who has regained his second youth, will directly affect the trend of the game."< br>
"If you don't understand the situation well, you can take a look at our KI colonel and ask him to give you some guidance." Zeyuan advertised for sponsors: "From a player's perspective, going out on the road is naturally very stressful. It was also a very meaningful match for the former partners Meiko and Deft. When Deft left the EDG team and returned to the LCK two years ago, he said that the reason was to win the world championship. Now, Deft has not yet won it, and Meiko Just win the championship first.”
"I can only say that it's so funny." Wang Duoduo returned to the topic: "The camera turned to the EDG player seat, and we can see a close-up of Brother Tian. Judging from his expression, Brother Tian's mentality is quite relaxed. I hope Brother Tian can Led the EDG team to win the first round of the group stage for the LPL division! "(End of Chapter)
