Chapter 1 Question Marks to Famous Professional Players
December 16, 2019.
It has been a month since FPX won the ninth Summoner's Trophy, and the popularity of the LPL's two consecutive championships has not dissipated. An official announcement from EDG rushed to the hot search, making countless stars shed tears.
LPL player No.001 Mingkai (Clearlove) announced his transition to the position of head coach of EDG, and his player career has officially come to an end.
In the evening, the live broadcast room numbered 7 of Penguin Esports, the title of the live broadcast room is: Retired, Korean Master Relegation Tournament.
In the live broadcast room, Mingkai had logged into his Korean server account. While preparing for the game, he chatted with the audience about his feelings about retiring. The barrage filling the screen drowned out the familiar face of countless LPL viewers.
"The factory director has retired, and my youth is over."
"The only dream jungler in LPL, what a pity."
"The factory director spent eight years, but in the end he still couldn't prove who is the best jungler in the world. In the end, he lost to time."
"Now, Coach Mingkai can study his opponent carefully."
"7777777."
"Qijiang, come on, be a good coach and lift the coffin of Starch with your own hands."
"We all wrongly blamed the factory director. Now it seems that 4396 is really good enough."
"After all, with the power of two tigers, mid laner Ryze's Knight's Oath is outrageous."
"The era of Yusanjia is over."
Of course, among the sounds of regret and encouragement, there were also a small number of rhythmic comments.
"The Civil War Fantasy God retires, and from now on the LPL will dominate the S-game."
"The waste Mingkai, every word is eight strokes, and he is one of the top eight every year."
"Don't be fooled. Director S7 was in the top 16 that year, but he didn't even make it to the S competition this year."
As for the discordant barrage, except for the house manager who is working hard, as the oldest LPL player, Mingkai is already immune to such intensity of barrage.
Apart from anything else, he has made so many jokes on the field and has been criticized for so many years. In terms of mentality, the factory director is really outstanding.
"Okay, okay, you have been teasing me for so many years. Let's take a break today. It's finally possible to play in the Korean server. In the last two days of the Korean server, if you lose one more game, you will be demoted. Try not to drop."
When he started to select people, he saw that his team on the first floor locked up Qinggang Shadow without hesitation. Ming Kai said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Qinggang Shadow comes up. I choose Blind Monk to cooperate and arrest people. It is super easy to catch. This is sure."
."
The lineups of both sides were selected. Mingkai got the Blind Monk as he wished and prepared to cooperate with Qinggang Shadow on the top lane. However, the opponent also got Crocodile to counter Qinggang Shadow, and the jungler was still Spider.
The blue team's lineup: top laner Qinggangying, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Zoe, bottom laner Kai'Sa, and auxiliary Titan.
Red side lineup: Top laner Crocodile, jungler Spider, mid laner Clockwork, bottom laner Xia, and assist Luo.
"It's a bit ominous. The zoo team on the opposite side is even more ruthless. Unless the Qinggang Shadow can suppress the crocodile's HP, it won't be able to go on the road. However, it's too difficult for the Qinggang Shadow to defeat the crocodile. It's difficult to defeat the crocodile at the same level. I'll take a look first.
Qinggangying’s rank.”
The director's tone has changed, but he couldn't help but take a breath when he saw the top laner Qinggangying with the ID Cheng:
"The Korean server rankings are crazy again, and I actually ranked the king with a score of 900."
Strictly speaking, Dian Yi and players who have just reached Master should not be ranked as teammates with such high scores in solo queue, but there have been problems with the Korean server ranking system more than once or twice, and Mingkai is not very surprised.
In addition to Qinggangying with 936 points, Zoe in the middle lane also has more than 700 points. The bottom lane combination is much more normal, with a grandmaster with 281 points and a master with 13 points.
I checked Cheng's game records and found that the entire page was recently filled with Qinggang Shadow, and his results were very impressive.
However, the heroes used further forward are very mixed. Various heroes are used in various positions. From Lulu the Wind Girl to Yasuo Timo, there are records of use, with wins and losses.
"The Korean server also has Qinggang Ying's unique brother? Director, hold your thighs tight when you go on the road."
"This is not a unique skill brother, but a juggling brother, right? The hero used before was too happy."
"Damn it! Look at the winning rate, it's almost 70, it's outrageous."
"Generally speaking, Qinggangying is not good at fighting crocodiles, unless the details are crushed. In addition, the jungler is a spider, and a thousand-point king is useless."
"As teammates, there must be nearly a thousand-point champion on the opposite side."
"On the first day after the factory director retired, even the relegation match was so unfriendly."
"If you lose another one, you will become a diamond boy, haha."
"A little koi got into the shark tank? It made me laugh."
"It's time to transform into Ankai and slay the king."
"Haha! I hugged you to my thighs. This is Brother Chengzi. Wanwan often OB his games."
"Who is Wanwan?"
"A little Huya anchor."
"Is she playing robbery?"
"If you don't want to play, next time you want to see Brother Chengzi's perspective, you can go to the Wanwan live broadcast room."
······
Ignoring the banter in the live broadcast room, the factory director's signature blind boy started with blue, square and red buffs with the help of the bottom lane duo, and went straight to the top half without using his beloved F6.
"The Titan's eye just saw the spider blue open. If you swipe up on the opposite side, you might catch a wave of blue steel shadows. I'll swipe up to see if there's a chance to counterattack."
Mingkai, who has completed the transformation of his coach status, was analyzing the situation with the mouth-strong king in the live broadcast room. He cut the screen and looked at the top lane situation. The initial push of the top lane will determine the chance of the Spider GANK later.
At this time, the top lane soldiers had just met, and the two sides were showing signs to each other to show friendship through the fighting melee soldiers.
Due to the weakness of the crocodile at level 1, when Qinggangying took the initiative to lower the health of the melee minions, the crocodile on the opposite side did not rush forward rashly, but prepared to wait for the minion's health to be reduced to find an opportunity to make up for it.
However, Qinggangying's play style was very fierce. After taking out the first melee minion, he took the initiative to move forward past the red side's melee minion and got stuck.
The meaning is obvious: if you dare to replenish troops, I will consume your blood.
The blue side already had two minions with very low health. Faced with such temptation, Crocodile chose to forcefully cross its own long-range minions and actively approach the direction of Qinggangying, using the Q skill Tyrant Strike.
The giant blade in the crocodile's hand rotated and swung, successfully taking down two blue side melee minions.
However, due to being stuck in front of the red side's long-range minion in advance, when the crocodile entered the skill range and could hit the minion, Qinggangying had already kicked it out first, and the crocodile's skeleton coating was knocked out.
The adaptive defensive shield is triggered, which just blocks the damage of the crocodile's Q skill and attracts the hatred of the minions.
After releasing the skill, the crocodile quickly retreated. Qinggang Ying was not in a hurry to take action. He still didn't know what skill he had learned.
After two steps, at the moment when the crocodile retreated to the red side's long-range minion, Qinggangying's E skill Hook Lock was released. He hung on the corner of the river and then released the second stage of E in seconds, and kicked out of the wall.
At this time, the skeleton coating on the crocodile's body had just disappeared, and it was kicked by Qinggangying and was knocked unconscious on the spot.
After landing, Qinggangying took advantage of the situation and kicked. Taking advantage of the attack speed bonus of the E skill, Qinggangying adjusted his step and kicked out again before the crocodile woke up and pulled away.
When the strong attack is triggered, the crocodile enters a vulnerable state and does not dare to fight back, and retreats in a hurry.
After a wave of blood exchanges, Crocodile was knocked out of more than one-third of its health, while Qinggang Shadow was only knocked out of a small amount of health by long-range minions, which already determined the early push situation.
Seeing this scene, the factory director knew something in his mind: "This Qinggang Shadow is very detailed. It succeeded in grabbing the line. Let's go up and see if we can find an opportunity."
Since Qinggang Shadow took second place and his troops were at a disadvantage, the crocodile was forced to huddle in front of the tower and gain experience. Taking advantage of Qinggang Shadow's opportunity to take a look at the river, he went up and Q'd the minions to gain some anger.
The third wave of artillery soldiers arriving from the red side happened to be stuck a little outside the first tower of the red side. The blind monk sent a signal that he was on his way and headed straight for the road.
In this situation, the spiders on the opposite side will basically not come over to cooperate with the second-level crocodile to catch the green steel shadow that has been upgraded to the third level. The blind monk's signal is to take the initiative to launch an attack.
The blue square soldier line has entered the tower. At the moment when the blind monk bypassed the triangle grass, the green steel shadow standing outside the range of the defense tower leaped high and made a sweep with W tactics.
The sharp leg blades cut past, and the outer edge accurately swept the crocodile in front of the tower. After the huge deceleration, the Qinggang Shadow took a step forward, and the E skill hook locked climbed to the wall above the red square tower.
Mingkai tensed his nerves, "It's coming, it's coming! The crocodile on the other side is not angry enough. If Qinggang Ying E goes up, I will directly touch my eye Q, and I can kill the crocodile."
Since the crocodile is reluctant to take away the only blood potion, and the blood volume is not very healthy, it is not difficult for the third-level blind monk to cooperate with the third-level Qinggang Shadow to jump over the tower.
At this time, the blind monk's position is on the back of the wall below, close to the stone man grass. The blind monk, who has already preset the operation, directly inserts the eye through the wall and touches it with W.
Qinggangying's second stage E shot, and Blind Monk shot Tianyin Wave at the same time.
Bang!
The crocodile's reaction was very fast. When he saw the blind monk touching his eyes and crossing the wall, he knew that he couldn't be knocked unconscious by the Qinggang Shadow, so he dodged decisively.
Bang!
Just when the second stage of E was about to kick into the air, Qinggang Ying suddenly appeared and flashed out. He adjusted the position of E and still knocked out the crocodile, but the blind monk's Q was still dodged by the crocodile.
The crocodile was knocked unconscious under the tower, and Qinggangying landed with AQ, triggering the adaptive defense shield and attracting aggro from the defense tower.
The blind monk who had missed his Q skill stepped forward to follow up with the output. When he saw the red warning signal issued by Qinggang Shadow, the factory director handed over the flash without any hesitation.
Bang!
The blind monk flashed to the crocodile and slapped the ground with his palm.
At this moment, Crocodile used the Q skill Tyrant to attack violently. When it hit the Green Steel Shadow and the Blind Sin at the same time, its anger instantly turned red.
No more, no less, exactly 50 points of anger.
Green light emitted from the crocodile's head, coldly hunting and shooting at the green steel figure in front of it.
After Red Fury W stunned Qinggang Shadow, the second attack from the defense tower happened to land. Qinggang Shadow's health instantly dropped to about half, and he fell into dizziness.
At the same time, the team chat screen lights up with messages.
