"First of all, what we want to know is, as a top laner, what do you think of this MSI version update? Please don't have any scruples, just say it." Ji Wen asked.
Su Chen nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he expressed his thoughts.
"I personally prefer this MSI version update, because the increased importance of jungle resources has led to an increase in the frequency of small-scale team battles in the early stage, which also gives me more room to play."
"I personally like this MSI version. Of course, I don't quite understand why some commonly used warrior heroes in the top lane have been weakened." Su Chen said.
"Well... well," Ji Wen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"I don't really care about my hero pool being targeted," Su Chen smiled slightly, "but I think that since the frequency of team battles in the early stage has increased, there should be more diverse choices for the top lane.
."
"In the past few versions, the options for the top lane were basically common tank heroes. I think this will reduce the competitiveness of the game and make the BP stage seem too procedural."
Ji Wen nodded, and he also heard what Su Chen meant.
Riot designers have always had their own ideas about the positioning of each location in Summoner's Rift.
For example, the main function of the top laner is to take damage in single lane and in team battles.
The jungle position is ganking and controlling map resources.
However, in different versions, the importance of each position will also be adjusted.
In this year's MSI version, Riot's focus is still on the shooter position, and it has even lowered the attributes of the top laners of many fighters to provide better space for shooter heroes to spawn.
However, the designers cannot predict how the game process will change after the version update.
For example, Sword Girl, who was originally thought to be eliminated, was picked up by G2 as a mid-range unit, and for a time became the mid-lane nuclear weapon in this year's MSI.
The ADC top order that Su Chen took out exceeded the expectations of Riot designers.
"The MSI version is actually a test of our plan for the second half of the year, but I believe that after this MSI, the tactical positioning and BP concepts of the top lane in each major competition area will also change accordingly," Ji Wen said.
"So, are you going to follow the trend, or continue to kill the four sisters?" Su Chen picked up the paper cup on the table and looked at Ji Wen and August in front of him playfully.
"Of course we still pay more attention to balance," August said with a smile on his face, "We don't deliberately take care of a certain position."
Su Chen smiled and did not refute him.
The three of them then talked about some of YM's tactical concepts.
For example, Ji Wen was curious about how YM came up with the idea of using an adc hero to go on the road.
Su Chen's answer was also very straightforward. Because Samsung's personal strength in the AD position is relatively outstanding, if they continue to use the previous BP idea, they may not be able to win the game.
So ym tried to transfer the function of adc to the upper unit, and the final result proved that this idea is feasible.
After Ji Wen and August listened, they couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
Having followed the entire MSI schedule, the two of them knew exactly what difficulties YM encountered.
Su Chen's personal strength has undoubtedly secured his position as the world's number one top laner.
However, the ym team is still too young after all, and the players still need to continue to grow in terms of experience and mentality.
Especially bovy in the ad position has become the biggest shortcoming of the ym team.
However, Su Chen did not complain at all, nor did he pressure the club management to change players. He just kept working hard to find a way to compete for the championship under the existing conditions.
I never thought about taking shortcuts and not relying on building a galactic battleship to win the championship.
Su Chen led his lspl teammates to practice step by step in the spring split, and brought them to MSI, and finally won the championship.
Such players are really pure.
However, ym was able to win last year's S-League champion Samsung, in fact, it relied on the AD top laner's trump card.
However, it is impossible to play adc all the time in the top lane, and ym will still have to face their problems head-on.
If we continue to maintain this lineup, it may be difficult for ym to launch an attack on LPL's first S-level championship as Su Chen declared at the award ceremony.
Looking at Su Chen's calm face, Ji Wen swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.
After all, this was someone else's club's matter, and there was no reason for him to ask this step.
When the time comes for the summer split, he will know ym's plan.
"I have a question that I would like to ask you two." Su Chen suddenly said, "Although it is not a secret, it involves personal privacy, so I don't know if it would be a bit rude to ask it."
"It doesn't matter, you took the time to accept our interview. As long as it doesn't involve the company's internal secrets, no matter the question mark." Ji Wen patted his chest.
August on the side did not refuse. He was also curious about what Su Chen would ask.
"I would like to know, what is the qualifying rank of the two of you in the US server?" Su Chen said with a smile, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Ji Wen, who was drinking water, choked when he heard this and coughed several times.
"We have been busy with version updates recently, and we don't have much time to play ranked games..." August's voice suddenly became weaker.
"Forget it, there's nothing to hide. My rank in the US server is currently Gold 4, but if I'm serious about getting points, it's definitely no problem to get to Diamond. It's just that I mainly play as a unit, and I play as a jungler in the company.
There are too few colleagues, so single queue is boring." Ji Wen wiped his mouth.
"Okay, I mainly play the adc position, and because there is no auxiliary double row, I am currently stuck in the gold one." August said with a blush.
As Riot designers, they certainly know what kind of role they are in the hearts of players.
Every time the version is updated, a bunch of players will angrily complain in the comment area that they don’t understand the game and have problems with their understanding.
But in fact, the two founders of Riot Games, Ryze and Tryndamere, are both around gold in the US server.
"It doesn't matter, the gold rank is already very good. After all, you are not full-time players. Before I became a professional, I was only around the gold level for several seasons." Su Chen said with a smile.
"Really or not, I heard that the LPL's standard for selecting players is that they must all have 1,000 or more points for the king." Ji Wen was a little surprised.
He thought that players of Su Chen's level should be killed in the Chinese server before their debut.
After all, for talented players, raising points is as easy as drinking water, and they can reach the top without much effort.
Unexpectedly, Su Chen was stuck in the golden rank for a while.
"Yes, in order to become a professional, I spent a lot of time to get points, from Golden Five to the Strongest King." Su Chen nodded.
"Then your starting point seems to be the same as that of ordinary people. To rise from the gold level to the king, you must have spent a lot of time practicing hard. It's incredible." Ji Wen picked up the paper cup and took a sip of water.
"Yes, it probably took about a week." Su Chen recalled.
"Ahem...Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." Ji Wen, who was choked again, couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, this guy came here to humiliate them on purpose.
"Last question," Ji Wen put away his notebook, "jkd player, do you have any thoughts on the current hero pool in the top lane? Although we all know that you are the ceiling representative of the four sisters in the top lane, we still want to hear it.
What are your thoughts on new heroes?"
"Well..." Su Chen thought for a while, "Actually, I think the top laners with the highest operating limit are the four sisters, but these heroes may not be easy to use for low-level players. I hope there can be more men.
The character can compete with these heroes, which I think will be more interesting."
"OK, I understand." Ji Wen recorded this and put the notebook into his schoolbag.
A male character hero who can compete with the four sisters in the top lane?
It sounds interesting.
However, Ji Wen didn't have a clue for a while and decided to think about it carefully after returning to the headquarters.
…
After finishing the interview.
Su Chen returned to the team.
Xiaotian and the left-handers also completed their respective post-game interviews.
Everyone got on the chartered car arranged by Xiao Ma and went all the way to the Silver Tower Restaurant in the 5th District of Paris.
"Would you like to have a French dinner tonight? I thought we should go back to the hotel and eat roasted kidneys." Xiaotian jumped out of the car and looked up at the restaurant in front of him.
The decoration design is in a log style, and the entrance is an iron gate that is two people wide. Through the door, you can see the magnificent scene inside the restaurant.
"Three Michelin stars, this celebration banquet is a bit grand." Meng Ma checked his phone, and the information about this restaurant popped up in it.
"When you come to Paris, how can you not eat French food? The prostitute teacher specially told us that Mr. Pei has prepared 2 million for us to celebrate the victory. We will eat it tonight. If we can't spend it all, we will give it to everyone as red envelopes."
Xiao Ma smiled.
Su Chen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Although the championship bonus of MSI is only about 3 million, because of this championship, YM's commercial value will increase exponentially.
Mr. Pei obviously saw this, so he generously spent money to reward everyone.
This is the person who does great things.
Unfortunately, Mr. Pei was too busy with work and never had time to reply to WeChat. Su Chen wanted to thank him in person several times, but never had the chance.
It seems that Mr. Pei will really only show up after winning the s championship.
Amidst a burst of cheers of "Mr. Pei is awesome".
The whole ym team rushed into the restaurant.
Because it was a private dining room, there were no other diners in the restaurant.
Everyone didn't feel nervous about eating in a high-end restaurant, they just looked at the various French food markets curiously.
"Hey, is this how caviar is eaten?" Xiaotian looked at the large pot of caviar in front of him and was a little confused.
"Otherwise," Xiao Ma directly took a spoon and took a piece of it and put it in his mouth, "Don't be stunned. The foreigners next door will think we can't afford it... You can try this foie gras again."
"Can all snails be eaten... I feel a little perverted." Zhang Xiaowen pulled at the butter-baked snails on the plate, his expression a little struggling.
"Why is this lobster blue? It couldn't be spoiled. Is there any dipping sauce?" He took a fork in his left hand and poked the blue lobster on the plate. He didn't know whether he should eat it or not.
"This French food is so fancy. Do you have egg fried rice in the store? Or make some noodles for me. If I can't eat enough, I'll try the caviar noodles." Xiao Tian looked around.
"Do you know how much this meal cost? If you don't finish it for me, I'll have to swim back to my motherland tomorrow!" Xiao Ma was so angry that he wanted to flip the table.
Su Chen also felt a little funny when he saw the crowd looking like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
I guess after finishing this meal tonight, I will have another late night snack when I return to the hotel.
He served himself a bowl of bouillabaisse and drank while scrolling through his cell phone.
In the few hours after ym won the MSI championship, major domestic media websites have already made all kinds of boasts about ym.
Especially Su Chen, who plays the top lane position, gained millions of followers on Weibo within a few hours after winning the MSI championship.
Many celebrities in the entertainment industry even liked his Weibo and expressed their congratulations.
However, Su Chen was more interested in the reactions on the Internet.
On Twitter, several other MSI teams expressed congratulations after YM won the championship.
The official account of g2 clicked on the official account of ym and posted a screenshot of ym showing the g2 team logo during the game, along with the copy.
"That's why they can win against geng."
There was also a joyful atmosphere in the comment area.
"After the semi-finals, Wunder was tortured by jkd and went to the hospital, but he would not be lonely because the next day he saw Khan lying on the bed next door..."
"I declare that jkd can take over the position of topfather of the new generation."
"The latest notice is that in the fifth game of the MSI Finals, a Samsung player encountered a bug in the operation, triggering the time retrieval mechanism. We will collectively travel to May 11th, and the group stage will start again tomorrow..."
Su Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw these prank comments.
Compared to lck's cold reaction, European and American audiences are much more lively.
I didn’t mind at all that g2 lost to ym, and at the same time, I made various jokes about the “time back” penalty in the finals.
Some people even transformed the uniform of three-star support player corejj into a villain in "Naruto", and also installed a sharingan eye on him, mocking his ability to reverse time.
In addition to these, Su Chen also discovered that the host sjokz this time also posted a tweet to celebrate ym.
However, her way of celebrating was to put on the YM uniform, exposing half of her body to the camera, and her proud figure was clearly outlined by the tight YM uniform.
Just when Su Chen clicked on the comment area, a call notification suddenly appeared on his phone.
The person on the caller ID is his younger brother Su Yuan.
Su Chen was about to answer the call when his hand slipped and the phone fell into the bowl of soup.
…
Jiangzhou, Su family.
In the room, Su Yuan looked excited. After calling Su Chen several times without getting through, the excitement on his face suddenly dissipated.
"Why didn't you answer the call?" Su Yuan muttered.
This afternoon, he watched his brother Su Chen's MSI championship journey at home. The moment he saw ym's final victory, he rolled off the bed with excitement. Su's parents and Su's mother rushed into the room in shock. Unexpectedly, he
What stimulation did you receive?
After the game, he immediately dialed Su Chen's phone number, wanting to have an exciting discussion with his brother.
However, Su Chen hung up the phone and said he was being interviewed and would talk later.
As a result, Su Yuan waited helplessly for two hours before calling again, but the call was still not connected.
Thinking that his brother was celebrating the championship at the moment, Su Yuan couldn't help himself. After rolling around on the bed for a few times, he suddenly thought of something and sat up straight.
Then another number was dialed.
A few seconds later, the call was connected, and a voice with a northern accent came out on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, are you..."
"It's me, Viagra. I'm Su Yuan. Didn't you just give me your phone number the day before yesterday?" Su Yuan said excitedly.
"Oh, the voice on the phone seems different from the voice in the game." The boy on the other end of the phone also reacted.
"Hey, did you watch MSI today? My brother is so good, he really led ym to win the championship!" Su Yuan said proudly.
"Well, it's indeed awesome, but your brother is really a graduate of Jiangsu University. I thought you were joking before," he said.
"How could it be? Didn't I show you a photo of me and my brother?" Su Yuan laughed and couldn't help bragging to the person on the other end of the phone.
The thinking of young people is actually very simple. With such a powerful elder brother, they will feel that they have become different, and they will inevitably have some thoughts of showing off.
"It's great. I can play on MSI. I don't know if I will have this opportunity." "Viagra" said with some envy.
"You are so good, you must be able to do it. When we were playing in duo queue, I saw that you were queuing up to those anchor adcs, weren't you just playing casually?" Su Yuan said with a smile.
"I'm not as good as you think. Now I don't know if I can persist in ldl. I feel that the coach is not very optimistic about me. Maybe I am really too good." "Viagra" sighed.
"How could it be possible? You are so powerful..." Su Yuan didn't quite believe it.
Then, the young man on the other end of the phone told Su Yuan about his recent troubles.
After trialling with several clubs in Shanghai, he finally entered the DMO club of ldl. He originally thought he would get a chance to play soon, but now he has been on the bench for half a month.
In the only game I played, I was eliminated by my opponent 2-0.
This made him very confused, wondering whether choosing this career path was the right choice.
"It's okay. My brother also played all the way from LSPL. He also said that the most important thing in playing professionally is persistence. I believe you can do it." Su Yuan thought for a while, "I think you may be a little unlucky.
If you persist for a while longer, maybe things will turn around."
"Well, your brother is right. You really need to stick to this road. When you come to Shanghai during the summer vacation, if you can, take me to meet your brother. I want to ask him for advice." "Viagra" said sincerely.
.
"It's just a joke, despite the outside world saying that my brother is very cold, he is actually very nice," Su Yuan said with a smile, "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to change your professional ID last time? Have you thought about it?
I think maybe if you change your ID, your luck will also improve."
"Well, I thought about it today, and I feel that the meaning of this ID will be better. I hope that the next step will be smoother." "Viagra" nodded.
"What name did you change?" Su Yuan asked quickly.
"You also know that I am not very educated. I thought about it several times and finally decided on this. The translation means pretty good." "Viagra" said with some embarrassment.
