"...You dare to take on a three-on-five team like this? Have you played too many training games with IG recently and your brain is confused?"
In the training room, Abramovich was squirting passionately in the center of the room.
They just had a training match with WE in Group D, and the result was very unsatisfactory. Although they gained some advantages in the early stage, they would be crushed by WE's picturesque team battles once they entered the mid-term.
After having an appointment with IG for a training match alone, everyone in EDG felt that they were invincible. Who knew that they would be taught a lesson by WE as soon as they came out of the game.
The key is the group stage tomorrow, and they have a game against AHQ that night, so Abramovich is inevitably a little anxious.
"I feel that the main reason is that the lineup is not good enough and I didn't get Pig Girl."
After being harshly spoken by Clint, Abu suddenly became even more angry:
"Do you think you won't be able to play if you can't choose the hero you want? Can someone else give you the chance to get the hero you want to play? Is the opponent's coach a fool? C9 won't ban your hero, or SKT won't ban?"
"You have to know that not every team is like RNG. They can't play Xia Luo in the bottom lane, and they can't play C in the top lane! Even RNG has been making progress during this time, not to mention other teams!"
Hearing what Abramovich said so straightforwardly, Yang Yi and his teammates immediately looked at each other.
As Abu said, WE's top laner 957 has worked hard during this period and has trained Kennen and Rambo who were not very good at it. Although they are still far from the top level of Theshy, they can still play well.
Effects above the passing line.
Not to mention the bottom lane. In one game, EDG deliberately released Xia, trying to test WE. However, after the brother-in-law and Ben got the Phoenix Legend combination, the lane was almost destroyed by EDG's bottom lane.
After all, they are old acquaintances who know each other well. After they were unable to take advantage of BP, EDG's training match winning rate against WE plummeted, and there was even a trend of losing more than winning.
Especially when WE got the Prince Galio system that they are best at, EDG has never won a game. Unless Mingkai and Scout take away Galio and Prince through substitute ban, this lineup will have almost no solution.
As for why IG’s winning rate in previous training matches was so high, the answer is simple.
Because this is a training match that averages less than fifteen minutes per game...
If they are behind by 5,000 or 6,000 in ten minutes, most teams will definitely choose to take the next move directly. IG's winning rate will naturally be higher.
After a few training matches with WE, EDG quickly woke up from the previous state of "the only heroes in the world who are heroes in the world and Cao Er" with IG, and began to face reality.
In fact, it can be seen from the last game of the Summer Finals that EDG did not hate the Censer Monster version.
With the same lineup of four guarantees and one, EDG gained an advantage of more than 5,000 through operations in the mid-term, but was almost overturned by RNG relying on team battles. Fortunately, the last wave of team bathers stood up and killed with a wave of sudden death.
Dead game.
When I arranged a training match with IG, they had been using LPL playoff tactics. The two teams competed against Maimang in various ways. Jess battled against Kennen in the top lane, Lucian fought against the Enchantress in the middle lane, and occasionally the bottom lane was weird.
Take turns playing Draven.
So it’s no wonder that WE and RNG are not willing to play training games with IG. On the one hand, it is easy to be directly penetrated during the laning period, and on the other hand, there is no gain from practicing.
Everyone is practicing version lineups and studying four incense burner monsters to protect one. If you just play third-line suppression here, are you overthinking it?
It is indeed easy to snowball in the laning phase like this, but what if there is a team with three lanes that are all equally powerful in terms of personal strength, so that they cannot have much economic advantage in the early stage and make a smooth transition to the mid-to-late stage?
So when Abramovich realized this problem, he immediately went to communicate with the head coach Nofe. Recently, he has been working hard to make EDG make adjustments. However, the effect is relatively average for the time being. It is too difficult for the team to make changes in a short period of time.
.
Yang Yi also saw what Abu was worried about, but to be honest, it was a bit early to consider this at this stage.
You must know that the BO1 in the group stage does not actually explain anything. What can really improve the team should be a close BO5.
The group stage is usually not enough to find the so-called version answer, so teams with strong enough hard power can definitely advance to the knockout rounds by relying on old tactics.
Just like their EDG, even if they continue to rely on the lineup that emphasized the three-way laning in the first game of the Summer Finals, with the skills and tactics of the three C positions of Yang Yi, Jiang Chenglu and their junior brother, they still want to win SKT in the BO1.
It’s not a difficult task, let alone C9 and AHQ, two lousy fish and shrimps that will most likely have to run with you.
However, this is only in the BO1 format of the group stage. If there is still no change from the BO5 of the knockout stage...
Then Mingkai can really go back and prepare to study next year's global finals.
——————
October 5th is the first day of the S7 group stage.
According to the schedule, there are two games in the LPL division today. The game between EDG and AHQ is the last one, while RNG is the opening game of the first game. Their opponent is the Turkish brother FB team that broke through from the qualifying round.
The four games in the middle are TSM vs. FW, G2 vs. SSG, FNC vs. GAM, and SKT vs. C9.
This is also the reason why some teams are fierce in training matches but struggle in official matches. This is because other teams are trying to find answers to the version of the global finals and are in the throes of transformation, but these teams are still using the same old tactics.
The way of playing, in the training match, the natural god blocks and kills the god.
It was still before EDG came on stage, so Yang Yi checked his phone in the lounge, opened Baidu Tieba and started surfing the Internet.
[Hey, looking at the atmosphere in the anti-pressure bar, it feels like everyone is very optimistic about today’s game?]
[Nonsense, RNG plays a wild card team in the opening game, and EDG plays their own son AHQ in the finale. Can they still win? 】
[There is nothing wrong with being optimistic about RNG. After all, there are not many teams that can lose to the wild card, but EDG...are you really not afraid that Clint Dance will give us another chance? 】
[Klin's Dirty Dancing was embarrassing enough last year, I really don't believe he can do anything to break through the lower limit this year.]
[I'm an old pig, as long as you don't have hope for EDG, then they won't let you down. Just relax and watch the game. 】
After experiencing the unity of the Asian competition, public opinion is still very friendly towards the three teams in the LPL, and basically there are no defeatist strategists who badmouth their own teams before the game.
Of course, some swordsmen who like to be spiritual Koreans are inevitable, but under the leadership of Obstacle Fish, the anti-pressure bar staff sent a large number of KrDog into the small black room, so that these swordsmen can only return to Faker.
Go crazy with the LCK.
In the opening game, RNG played steadily without any accidents.
Even Brother Zuko, who always likes to suck the blood of his teammates, did not take the third lane this time, which allowed Letme to rarely get a higher last hit than the opponent's top laner. On the contrary, the opponent FB's Korean jungler Crash adjusted his skills and chose
A reverse version of the jungle leopard girl.
This Crash used to be a subordinate of VG.
Because there was a problem with the visa of FB's original jungler, I followed Riot's official regulations and found a jungler in the secondary league at home in China to temporarily bring him in. It actually worked wonders and led FB to defeat the North American division.
The third seed, also reached the top 16 of the group stage.
Of course, it can only be said that FB found someone very accurately, because Crash's level itself is not at the sub-league level. He was a junior jungler poached from LCK after VG was relegated to LSPL. He once placed Cuzz as a substitute.
The man at the table.
But how can I put it? Although Crash is a dimensionality reduction attack in the wild card competition, in the LPL competition, he is on the edge of the playoffs. When encountering a top jungler like Mala Xiangguo, it is understandable that he cannot beat him.
.
The LPL audience happily watched RNG's game and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they stayed with a fun attitude and watched TSM's game against FW.
That's right, this year's TSM is the king of training matches again!
Of course, when the king of training matches came to the official competition, he still managed to pull away like in previous years and lost to the Flash Wolves cleanly.
This year's Flash Wolves have high hopes from the LMS division. Even many viewers and commentators from other divisions are very optimistic about this team.
After all, they once defeated SKT twice at MSI, and counting the intercontinental tournament, FW defeated SKT in three BO1 games in a row, and they still have the title of the king of BO1.
Regardless of whether this title is appropriate or not, at least in the BO1 format of the group stage, they should be like a duck in water and become WE's strongest opponent in theory.
The attention of the next two games is much smaller. The European optimistic family G2 has not helped many people regain their nationality. They are only slightly famous in the LPL. The European patriarch Ap, and even the captain of the Vietnamese big brother GAM and FNC are not
European high school students are very popular.
Speaking of Rekkles, a European high school student, this guy actually beat Jiang Chenglu in this year's TOP20 poisonous milk list, ranking 17th.
Obviously FNC has been reduced to the third seed. To reach the top 16, they have to fight through the playoffs. Even if they can be ranked in the top 20, it can only be said that the foreign media is indeed biased towards Rekkles.
As for EDG, it was even more outrageous. All the starting players were on the list, which caused the piglets to react with displeasure, fearing that the team had been poisoned and that the team would be eliminated in the top 16.
But Yang Yi actually felt that the media was quite discerning this time.
It's said to be poisonous milk, but I haven't seen Teacher Da Fei, who is consistently in the top 1 every year, fall over?
Oh, yes, that won't be the case this year, because he is here.
Big devil, right? You'll be finished if you see if I do it or not!
The time came to eight o'clock, and the last game between SKT and C9 was coming to an end.
C9, which looks exactly like Baidu Cloud, failed to withstand SKT's offensive, and it was only a matter of time before they lost.
It was clear that the two sides were still going back and forth at eighteen minutes, and C9 was only one head behind. However, in just three minutes, the economic gap between the two sides was widened to over 4,000.
This scene is very familiar to the LPL audience, having seen it every day at the global finals.
Seeing that the game was over and it was time for EDG to take the stage, Yang Yi was both nervous and excited, and subconsciously took a deep breath.
After seeing this, Bian Tianye thought that Yang Yi was scared to play in the global finals for the first time, so he suggested that he listen to some music to relax.
Yang Yi didn't argue. He must be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. After all, he never dreamed that one day he would be able to stand on the stage of the global finals and compete with his favorite players.
Before February, he was still tossing and turning at night thinking about how to make better live broadcasts and how to attract more viewers. How could he have thought that he would be standing here now?
An elder said it well, for personal development, of course one must consider self-strength, but one must also consider...
Well, this topic is a bit dangerous, so let’s listen to the song.
He put on his headphones calmly, found the new theme song for this year's global finals, and clicked to play.
"Legends Never Die,
When the world is calling you,
bsp; you hear them and screaming out your name?
..."
A slightly hoarse female voice came from the headphones, and Yang Yi couldn't help but calm down and quietly enjoy the music.
It is indeed a music company that has been delayed by games. I can only say that it is really amazing. The background music when Ike logged into League of Legends is still on the playlist as the BGM that he often uses during live broadcasts.
However, although this song is nice, Yang Yi always feels that it is a bit lacking in taste, or that the lyrics are not to his liking.
The legend never dies...
If the legend's light never goes out, how can newcomers like him get ahead?
Do we have to wait for these legends to retire one by one?
Of course not, I came to this stage just to defeat all the previous legends!
So Yang Yi rummaged through his playlist. He didn't have many playlists in his collection, and he quickly found his favorite World Championship theme song - "Warriors" by Dream Dragon.
Among all Menglong's singles, this song "Warriors" can also be ranked in the top three, and he dares to assert that no professional player can refuse this song!
It’s just that the Chinese lyrics of the first verse are too outrageous.
As a theme song to promote the League of Legends game competition, Baidu actually translated it as "You will be the one who will not join in the dirty and time-wasting games."
Please, this is the theme song of the game!
In contrast, Yang Yi naturally prefers another version of the translation. Although it is somewhat inconsistent with the meaning of the original text, it is really in line with the mood of the new generation of professional players.
As a child, you would wait and watb sp; from far away.
When you were an ignorant child, you often watched games from a distance.
But you always know that you'll be the one that works while they all play.
But you always knew that sooner or later you would compete fiercely on the field like them.
And youth, you lay, awake at night and scheme.
At night when you were young, you lay in bed, awake and making plans,
of all the things you that that would ge,
Plan everything you can change in the future,
but it was just a dream!
But those are just a dream.
When they were about to enter the chorus, Riot staff came to inform them that they were ready to go on stage to debug the equipment.
Yang Yi took off his headphones and sang the climax of the chorus silently in his heart.
Here we are,Don't turn away now!
Don't go away now, we're here!
we are the warriors that built this town!
We are the warriors who forged this castle (legend)!
After singing two lines, Yang Yi felt calm and returned to his best condition.
