021: The first training match, Pingxiang Yizhi Internet Cafe!
"Brother Xing, I've got you, come in first and then talk." Lin Weixiang sent him an invitation in the game client.
Gu Xing clicked Accept and entered the custom room.
"Lin Weixiang, go upstairs, I'm on the fifth floor!" Liu Qingsong said in a loud voice.
He has a pretty good personality now. Not particularly cheerful, but not introverted. He just likes to curse and always talks about his own ADC.
Lin Weixiang swallowed his anger most of the time and occasionally retorted, but his soft voice also made his words less lethal.
"Who will we play in today's training match?" Fenfen asked the coach.
The team coach’s nickname is Sisi, and his score in the national server is not low, so he was recruited by Dong Xiaosa to be the training team.
However, he had never had coaching experience before, which was one of the reasons why Gu Xing's father felt that Greedy Sa was unreliable.
Fortunately, the coach completed the small matter like making an appointment for a training match without any problems, "Pingxiang's Yi Zhi Internet Cafe Team."
"An Internet cafe?" Lin Weixiang smiled very smartly, "The name is quite interesting."
Most of Greedy Sa's opponents in training matches are Internet cafe teams from various places, which are also the main force in the City Heroes Contest.
Training matches are also about levels. Only by practicing with a team of similar strength can both parties gain something. It doesn't make much sense to abuse someone or be abused.
Generally speaking, Tencent's competition system is generally in the shape of a pyramid, with fewer teams as you go up. There are only a dozen or so LPL teams.
The number of teams in the City Contest cannot be described as a huge number, but the base is very large. Unless the teams are in the same province, they don't know each other, and they may not even have heard of their names, let alone their playing styles.
For example, Gluttony Sa's opponents in this training match, Yi Zhi Internet Cafe Team, are playing a training match for the first time.
Dong Xiaosa was pacing in the living room, his eyes mainly focused on Gu Xing.
Facing his first training match in his life, Gu Xing was not nervous. Instead, he was eager to try and seemed to be in a good mood.
Opponents enter the room one after another.
The ID of the jungler opposite him on 2L is very interesting. The jungler’s name is ‘Tears Bright Yi Wushuangzz’, and the mid laner is even more outrageous, his name is Black Toothpaste.
Gu Xing thought it was a brand advertisement and he would get paid every month, just like putting the prefixes of major live broadcast platforms in front of his ID after climbing to the top of the server.
"Wow, the scores of the midfielder and jungler of the Internet cafe team are not low." Beethoven started to check the opponent's record when he had nothing to do. "It seems that he is the eldest brother of the team..."
Far away in an old residential building in Pingxiang, the owner of Yi Zhi Internet Cafe, who transformed his home into a training base, was still hanging around behind the team members.
"The 2L on the other side yelled, 'I really only know how to play jungle'," a boy with an extremely thin body said inarticulately, "Zeng Qi, did you see that? That jungler is very powerful. He can catch people when playing a rhythm hero.
First hand."
He is different from ordinary players. He holds the mouse in his left hand and the keyboard in his right hand, in a crossed posture, which looks very awkward.
"I saw it!" the boy next to him, who had gained a lot of weight, responded. He used the account 'Black Toothpaste', "There are also Xiangxiang, Chitanda and Beethoven, good guys, they are all high-scoring champions of Denichi.
ah."
"Glunious Sa has brought in a new jungler for trial training," the owner of Yi Zhi Internet Cafe got some information from Dong Xiaosa before today's game, "but the original jungler is also good, and I think he can reach the A-level in the summer."
League."
He looked at the boy with his arms crossed and said, "Zhuo Ding, you and Zeng Qiduo will collaborate today."
When Zhuo Ding, who was introverted, heard this, he just smiled shyly and agreed.
The greedy coach urged all the players, "Are you ready? I'm going to start BP."
He has already come to the spectator position and is preparing to make a video of the entire training match.
Gu Xing pinched his fingers and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
"Open it, let me drink some water..." Liu Qingsong unscrewed the bottle cap.
The custom omen mode is officially launched!
From Gu Xing's point of view, this is no different from the ranking game interface. It's just that you can match your teammate's ID with the floor.
"We can't help but play jungle heroes in this game," Dong Xiaosa said to Gu Xing, "You can play freely."
However, in this game, the Yizhi Internet Cafe team on the red side banned Leopard Girl.
Although in the 6.5 version update on March 25, Leopard Girl, the overlord of the wild area, suffered an epic level of weakening-W [Jungle Ambush] cannot reset the basic attack, and the passive is also unable to put a hunting mark on the wild monster.
It can no longer be imprisoned.
But this still hasn't pushed her into the cold palace. At present, Leopard Girl is still a popular choice in the first echelon of the version due to her unparalleled heroic characteristics.
In addition, the other banned positions on both sides are not allocated to jungle positions.
"Help me get Lucian first, quick, quick, quick!" Lin Weixiang shouted to use his signature hero, "This way, I can support Thresh and Braum later!"
"Take it, take it."
The coach agreed, saying he had no opinion as long as Lin Weixiang didn't play Vayne mindlessly. That character was too limited in the professional arena.
Gu Xing is here for trial training and does not want to interfere with other people's BP.
Besides, he didn't understand either. He had never seen such a scene. He just listened quietly and tried his best to learn from it.
The atmosphere of Greedy Sasa's training match was quite relaxed, and while they were chatting and joking, the opponent had already selected a spider jungler.
"Gu Xing, which one do you think is more comfortable?" Dong Xiaosa asked proactively.
"Hmm..." Gu Xing thought for a moment. Among the remaining strong jungle characters, there are not many who can fight spiders. He picked one with higher proficiency among them, "Let's go with the male gun."
In the current version, there is no doubt about Graves’ overall strength.
Since the preseason rework, his position has been changed from ADC to jungler. Although he has suffered several weakenings, including Q [End of the Road] from the original instant hit to the wall to a short delay, but E [Quick Draw]
The mechanism has not been changed.
Nowadays, the pure manly passive obtained by quickly drawing a gun only has 4 layers at most, which is very easy to stack up. Each layer of the first-level skill can provide 10 points of double resistance for the male gun!
In other words, if the stack is full, you can add 40 points of double resistance!
This increase in value is simply a bug in early battles, equivalent to having an extra piece of chain armor and a negative cloak.
The purely manly abnormal mechanism allows high-level male gun players to run wild in the jungle. Except for a few heroes, there is nothing they can do to Graves.
The coach knew that this was a strong role in the version, and it could also supplement the team's late-stage abilities, so he had no objection and let Gu Xing choose him.
"Do you need to give up "Love Trap"?" Lin Weixiang laughed, "Honghui~"
There was constant laughter in the living room.
In recent months, anchor Zhang Jiawen has gained a lot of points with the redesign of the male gun, and his popularity has also skyrocketed. Subsequently, various memes have also spread in the league circle, including this one,
When playing with men's guns, you must put a love trap.
Gu Xing also raised the corners of his mouth in a gregarious manner, and adjusted the talent runes by the way.
"Male gun?" Zhuo Ding, from the Pingxiang Yizhi Internet Cafe team base, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Greedy Sa's choice on the second floor, "I thought he would choose a blind monk excavator or something like that."
The last time he met Gu Xing in a qualifying match was ten days ago. The Rek'Sai used by the opponent at that time left a deep impression on him.
Zhuo Ding always thought that the opponent was the kind of early rhythm jungler who was particularly good at ganking and catching people.
"But it should be fine," Zhuo Ding looked at mid laner Zeng Qi, "It's hard for the male gunner to catch people in the early stage. I just need to pick up the rhythm."
When a head-on collision breaks out in the jungle, if the stacks of male gunners are too high, then a hero like Spider who relies on bursts of skills will suffer - Graves has a lot of range damage and can also clean up the little spiders.
But in terms of gank efficiency, the spider is way ahead.
The lineups of both sides are all confirmed.
Greedy Sa on the blue side: top laner Poppy, jungler gunner, mid laner Card Master, bottom lane Lucian + Braum.
Red Fang Yizhi Internet Cafe: Crocodile in the top lane, Spider Queen in the jungle, Plane in the mid lane, Spear of Revenge + Thresh in the bottom lane.
After experiencing the juggernaut version of last year’s World Championship, Riot Games took action this spring to whittle away a bunch of fleshy and damaging top laners. Now the strong top laner has become the LPL’s favorite three fantasy gods—
—Poppy, Titan and Big Tree.
Gu Xing looked at the loading interface and was still trying to analyze the lineup.
Both sides have double shooters in the later stage. The difference is that in the early stage, Yi Zhi Internet Cafe relies on the partnership of spiders and crocodiles, and its offensive capabilities are extremely fierce.
Similarly, the opponent will be lacking in the front row in the later stage, and Crocodile and Thresh are obviously not considered meaty.
Gu Xing was thinking about how to play this round when he heard a prompt sound coming from his earphones.
Summoner's Rift has arrived!
"Come here and take a stand!" Liu Qingsong marked the river, "We can invade, how about it?"
The level 1 Braum he uses is very powerful. With the three ranged weapons of Male Gun, Card and Lucian, it is easy to create the stunning passive of [Concussive Blow].
Greedy Sa's lineup has no shortage of control at level one, so invasion is completely feasible.
Gu Xing's heart was beating loudly. As soon as the training match started, he could feel the difference from the passerby qualifying match.
The most obvious difference is the communication difference. The other four contestants are all communicating constantly on the microphone.
On the other hand, ranked games are more like fighting independently and relying on operations to win the game, while training games require more complete use of tactics and strategies.
In the voice message, the top laner was still discussing with Lin Weixiang whether to change lanes.
In the current version, the line-switching style of play has not been weakened. In many professional competitions, the top lane and the bottom lane will be swapped, allowing the duo to go to the top lane to push the tower, taking care of the economy first, while the top laner will follow the jungler to mix with the jungle monsters.
"No change, no change," Lin Weixiang objected, "Liu Qingsong and I can beat each other's bottom lane!"
Gu Xing licked his dry lips.
The result of this trial training will determine whether he can continue on the path of professional e-sports.
No room for error!
He quickly turned his brain and tried to communicate with his teammates, "Come to invade the blue buff in the opposite jungle area... Just be a ward, I won't change the jungle area."
The male gun chosen by Gu Xing himself, this hero is a tower jumper most of the time, and the basic attack bullets will be blocked by the defense tower.
Even if you adjust the angle and hit the wall Q [End of the Road], it is useless, the damage is much worse.
He doesn't want to forcefully open the field from the opponent's lower half. If the tower jump fails, Yi Zhi Internet Cafe's crocodile + spider zoo will definitely have to train Poppy in the jungle.
The opponent knew that Greedy Sa was very strong at level one, and originally planned to lose control of the semi-jungle area after inserting the ward.
But he didn't expect that Gu Xing would not change the jungle area. Zhuo Ding thought about it and came back honestly and went to the blue buff below his home to open the jungle.
He could also guess that Greedy Sa was setting up a ward in his jungle area. Even if he went to open the jungle above, his movements would actually be exposed. He might as well eat the blue buff first.
Gu Xing returned to the red buff in the lower half of his house, waiting for the wild monsters to spawn, while adjusting his breathing to calm down.
