Today's matchup is still eye-catching. Although WE's popularity has dropped a lot in the past two years, it has always been among the best among many teams in the LPL!
It can be said that Old WE was the most popular team in LPL before Season 5. Ruofeng, Xiaoxiao and others have won many championships. WE is also the most popular club in LOL.
As the old WE withered until all the players retired, the popularity of this club slowly slowed down, but in terms of fan loyalty and stickiness, the old WE must have a place among them.
Last year, WE also entered the playoffs in the Spring Split and played five games against the Spring Split champion, but was unfortunately eliminated.
In the summer split, WE began to adjust its personnel, and Han Yuan, a Sprite fan in the team, caused an uproar. Not only was he boycotted by WE fans, but he was also angrily criticized by LPL audiences.
As a professional player, he doesn't think about how to improve his strength to win the game, but instead engages in these tricks outside the court. Naturally, the audience will not get used to him.
This year, WE has become a brand new version 2.0.
Originally, last year they switched to bottom lane styz and mid lane. Xiye and MYstic have grown a lot after a year of training in the LPL. Their strength this year has improved a lot compared to last year. This is also the reason why WE has a good winning rate in training.
Double C is much more stable and can be used many times
In the y competition, xiye also tempered the hero pool, which is no longer the previous hero currency.
The top laner was replaced by newcomer 957, the jungler Condi, and the support was replaced by UZI's former royal support zero. WE's lineup has been completely updated!
Compared with the old WE, they always say that this WE is a brand new lineup and has nothing to do with the past, but the fans still support the old WE. It must be said that the fans of WE are extremely sticky, higher than the fans of any club.
When the transfer period ended and before the start of the spring split, news came out that WE's training results were very good, WE fans who had been silent for two years began to appear one after another, and there were many posts discussing WE in the forum.
The team is silent when its performance is poor, and becomes active when its performance is good. This is also a common feature of many team fans.
Many fans are active in major forums disguised as fans of other teams, just because their home team's performance is poor. Sometimes when speaking in these places, it is easy for others to ridicule the team they support. This is also part of the reason.
The reason why fans criticize me.
At least when he's fighting against others, if the team he supports has good results, he'll be more confident in his comments.
WE's youth training is doing very well. Last year's second team members xiye and smlz have now established themselves in the LPL and have become the starting players of their teams.
This year, we chose top laner 957, who is relatively comprehensive and more in line with the team. Another top laner, khan, also played well in the LSPL, but his awareness of support is relatively poor.
In addition, 957 is a domestic player and can communicate better with his teammates, so the WE coaching staff chose to put 957 on the top lane of the first team to start. The Korean combination will be selected in the bottom lane, and there will be a better understanding of the bottom lane.
It can only be said that WE's management has a good vision, which is one of the reasons why WE can be reborn. Compared with other teams that go to war during the transfer period, WE has completed the team change without making any splash.
"There are so many WE fans." JackeyLove said with emotion as he looked at the popular WE fans in the audience.
At least in the last game against LGD, he didn't feel that LGD had more fans than WE.
"Old club." lqs said with a heavy head: "To be honest, the director used to be a member of WE, and now he is the most boycotted by WE fans."
"WE used to be the club with the most fans in the LPL. When IG played a game with them, there were all fans of WE. They even got water bottles thrown at them when they won the game, which made PDD and Sun Yalong yell at each other on the stage."
Lqs even laughed when he said this. These are all interesting professional anecdotes told by the factory director when chatting with him.
The joke between PDD Mantis Boxing and Nongfu Spring came from that match. Before the match, Strawberry gave PDD the middle finger. The players were on good terms, so they were joking. Unexpectedly, WE fans rioted after the match.
At the beginning, 80% of the domestic audience of LOL were WE fans. Even now, as the number of teams has increased, and LOL has become more and more famous, attracting a lot of audiences, but in fact, fans of WE have always been there.
However, WE's performance was not good and they stopped. Some people faded out of sight as Xiaoxiao and others retired. Some people became piggies with the factory director, and some became fans of OMG.
This year, with the possibility of WE achieving results, it has awakened many silent WE fans, and even some critical fans have returned.
This leads to a large number of offline viewers. If WE can have a winning streak this season or even enter the playoffs, more WE fans will show up!
"Come on, fight!" Xiao Tianguai said with a smile: "Just fight them until there is no sound."
"You are so cool." JackeyLove looked at Xiaotian with a smile.
"I learned it from you~" Xiaotian replied sarcastically to JackeyLove.
"..."
mmp, why do you feel like it’s me who gets hurt every time?
"No need to belittle yourself." Chen Lang chuckled: "We also have a lot of fans."
"Besides, no matter what, it's better than last year's results, isn't it?"
JackeyLove smiled and nodded: "Yes, it won't be worse than last year, but I hope it will get better and better."
"We will only get better and better." lqs said this with the coldest expression, but there was a fire burning in Xiaotian's heart!
This is bloody. Although he listened to the conversations of several teammates very calmly, the information he got from their remarks was not so calm, but a bit bitter.
When CP was first established last year, there should be no one cheering for them in every game. Now, half of the fans in the stadium are cheering for them. What does this rely on?
Good-looking?
No, there may be part of the reason, but it is definitely not the current situation. It depends on their strength. Their performance in each game has conquered the audience, commentator!
As for LOL, there are far more male groups than female groups, and CP has more male fans than female fans. This is enough to show that they rely on strong strength, not appearance, marketing and other things.
These are just the icing on the cake, the real decisive factor is the results.
CP, which won the first LPL championship, became one of the top teams in the LPL. This was because they had no capital involvement before, so they had no hype, marketing or other plans to expand the reputation and traffic of the team and players.
Now that capital has entered the scene, LOL has become more popular in China. Of course, Chen Lang and others have become the most watched players, and CP has also begun to promote the players through various channels.
Previously, due to the incident at the annual award ceremony, CP was in a position of being scolded in e-sports literature. Many unreasonable viewers felt that CP was inflated, and they also felt that Chen Lang and others became frivolous after winning the championship.
stand up.
This has affected CP's reputation to a certain extent, but the traffic is full, whether it is spraying or protecting, it has added traffic to CP.
What a club fears most is that there is no voice for discussion, not controversy. From this point of view, Chen Lang can be regarded as attracting traffic to the club in disguise~
"Play hard, this WE is a bit like us last year." Chen Lang warned: "Don't underestimate the enemy."
It is also a 3+2 configuration (3 domestic players + 2 Korean players), and it is very determined. With that kind of hard work, the five CP players can all detect the fighting spirit in the five WE players.
Sometimes the right five people come together. This is the case with CP, and it is also the case with WE now.
...
"Today WE plays against CP. This matchup is a long-awaited one!" The commentator explained the regular opening chat, and at the same time started to bring out the team's game information.
"WE is playing the Spring Split with a new lineup this year. The last game they played against VG was very exciting. As a fledgling jungler, Condi was on par with the jungle king Dandy. It can be seen that he played very aggressively.
sex!"
"Yes, generally new junglers have to pay tuition, and they rarely play so proactively. Condi's playing style reminds me of mlxg. Both of them are junglers with a strong desire to attack, and they especially like gank."
I remember laughing and saying: "Speaking of which, WE is a bit similar to last year's CP. This game is a bit like a showdown between the big brother and the little brother~"
"Haha, it does sound like what you said. The news came out first because of the good results in the training matches. I remember they said at the time that the results in the training matches couldn't mean anything." Guan Zeyuan smiled and looked at Remember and Changmao and said: "The result
In the main game, apart from being a little anxious in the first few games, CP took off like a cheat in the rest of the game!"
Changmao smiled and nodded: "Yes, I also commented on CP's games in the past few games. At that time, we were still discussing whether they could quickly adapt to the rhythm of LPL. Unexpectedly, they completely adapted to LPL in a few games, and then started
A winning streak.”
Several anxious games were because they had an advantage but it was difficult to expand it. CP made wrong decisions in several waves, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity, and the pace of play was much slower.
This is also the process that new players must go through. There is a big difference between on-field games and off-field games, as well as training games. Don’t make mistakes in the game and then make up for them. This is growth.
After a few games, Chen Lang and others adapted to the game. Except for the many mistakes in the opening games, the subsequent games played more and more smoothly and the rhythm became better and better.
"Let's see if today's condi can return to the same state as last time he played against VG. Who can dominate the opponent's jungle between the new junglers Xiaotian and condi!"
...
The WE players sat on chairs, and the five young players began to communicate and cheer each other up.
"Come on, fight for the world championship today, don't be embarrassed!"
Xiye leaned back on the chair in the middle and said with a smile: "If you win, you will gain blood. If you lose, you will not lose. It is normal to lose to the champion."
"Haha, you have to make money with your blood!" Condi said cheerfully.
957 was not as optimistic as his teammates. He said solemnly: "Brothers, I'm not kidding, my hands and feet are shaking from nervousness."
Xiye glanced at her top player and said: "It's normal. My first time playing a game is similar to yours. I'll be fine in a while."
It will be much better when you enter the game, because more attention will be on the game, and then the mental pressure will be much less.
Condi looked at 957 and joked: "Learn from me, don't think so much, just do it!"
957 said: "I was not so nervous when I played VG last time. Mainly because I faced TheShy today. His operation was too ruthless. I was afraid of being defeated by him online."
"Don't be afraid, I will help you." Condi comforted 957.
"Okay, the game has begun, everyone, come on!"
"Come on!" everyone shouted in unison.
This year, WE has reorganized, and their five players are also playing the game with the determination to win. Regardless of any opponent, they do not want to lose to each other.
Even if they are not as strong as their opponent, they still have to try their best, and even if they lose, they will stand and die vigorously!
There is no long-term winning team in LOL. Even if it is as strong as EDG, it was ended by CP last year. WE players also hold this expectation. Everyone feels that they are different from others, and they also feel that they may be able to beat CP.
, complete last year’s CP deeds!
...
"WE is on the blue side, and CP is on the red side. Bans on both sides are targeted. WE bans all mid-lane heroes, and CP bans the hero." Guan Zeyuan said.
Remember to say: "WE banned the hero Ice Girl. This is a rare ban position."
Changmao nodded: "Yes, even when facing CP, more teams will choose to ban some powerful mid laners, such as Ekko and Yasuo, instead of choosing Ice Girl who is more of a tool player."
"Then why did they ban Ice Girl?" Guan Zeyuan asked.
I remembered to spread out my notebook, then gently raised my glasses with the index finger of my right hand, and said: "Maybe WE feels that compared to Brother Lang's mid-lane ca
y ability, they are more afraid of him playing a tool man and roaming hero like Ice Girl. At least those strong lane heroes can only take advantage of the middle lane, while the tool man roams and radiates fire in other lanes."
"Another point is the competition at the jungle level. If you have lane rights online, the jungle will be much easier to fight. WE should want to make Condi more comfortable, so instead of letting Lang Ge roam, we let Xiye go.
For laning, Condi ensures his own development in the jungle and then leads the rhythm online."
Changmao agreed after listening to what he remembered: "It's very likely that this is the case. Last time WE played against VG, xiye tied up the middle lane online, and then let condi and dandy play one against one in the jungle, and let condi lead the rhythm."
"Ice Girl herself is not bad at laning, and has strong roaming ability in the early stage. She can be a first-hand player or a backhand player in a team fight. When equipped, she can also kill people in seconds. WE simply gave Brother Lang the choice of a strong mid laner instead of him.
Choose a relatively comprehensive hero like Ice Girl."
The three commentators analyzed the situation, and both sides began to select players.
"WE picked Niutou first, and CP immediately picked up the duo of Skateboard Shoes and Thresh in the bottom lane!"
"Wow, JackeyLove will be very happy if we get this duo. It's easy to gain an advantage in the bottom lane this time." Changmao said.
Remember: "Skateboard shoes are also one of JackeyLove's best ADs, with a career winning rate of 90%, a very scary statistic."
Guan Zeyuan said with a smile: "Usually CP can still swing in three ways with Lucian in the first hand, but this time the skateboard shoes must not be shaken."
"Why is this swinging?" Changmao was also laughing: "Should we use it to play on the top lane? It's fine to play a short hand laner, but it's not like going to jail to play a long hand laner. As long as condi targets it a little, they won't be able to play.
"
"I'm just talking." Guan Zeyuan laughed.
Seeing that the other party got skateboard shoes and Thresh, xiye said: "Give me the enchantress, I can steal the AD."
Compared with traditional mages, the super-mobile assassin mage like Enchantress is better on skateboards and can even kill him instantly from a long distance!
"Aren't you afraid of being targeted if you choose the lane first?" the coach asked.
Xiye smiled freely: "It's like giving me a counter position, and I will definitely gain an advantage! It's not normal to be unable to beat Brother Lang. I'm determined to be a wretched person online anyway, and I will never fight with him, as long as I don't die."
Xiye saw it very clearly. Players like Rookie and Wei Shen always wanted to compete with Chen Lang. As a result, they were brutally killed one by one by the opponent. He thought that his skills were not as good as theirs. What Rookie and the others couldn't do, he was even more likely to do.
It can't be done anymore.
"Okay, then let's take Enchantress and Mondo." Coach WE nodded.
Hongmi looked at Xiaotian and said: "Mundo may be the jungler or the top laner, but if you don't take Mundo, the opponent may use the male gun to jungle. We must either lock the male gun in advance or choose the blind monk or spider.
.”
Xiaotian said: "Lee Monk, I'll start the team. The opponent wants to fight Lang Ge in the lane, so I just fight with them. Even if they use the male gun, it's useless. The lane is broken, and the jungler brushes again."
It’s useless to have more.”
"Okay, let's take the blind monk."
CP chose Blind Monk and Sword Queen.
The reason for choosing Sword Queen is very simple. It can deal real damage. If Mondo is in the lane, she will not be the opponent of Sword Queen alone. In the group with Sword Queen's sword formation, she will not look so weak.
"What this Sword Girl took made WE feel uncomfortable." Guan Zeyuan said.
Remember to explain: "We don't dare to pick Sword Girl first. They are also afraid that TheShy will beat 957 in the lane. After all, he is a rookie top laner. TheShy on the front team will definitely be very conservative."
Changmao said: "It's good to be able to withstand pressure. Theshy's operation is really too sharp, and most people really can't handle it."
"957, which hero do you think is best for beating Sword Girl?"
957 pursed his thick lips, and then said: "Come on Poppy. If I use Poppy in the lane, he won't be able to kill me. In a team fight, I can also use my ultimate move to restrict the opponent's front row entry."
It's not easy for the blind monk to catch him. Even if he hits the Q, he can stop the blind monk's second stage Q from flying by firing a W. At this time, Poppy has also completed the revision, and he is no longer the same hero as the previous Poppy.
It tends to be more of a team fight.
WE chose Poppy, and finally the coach looked at MYstic: "AD take the policewoman."
"Okay." MYstic nodded.
WE finally chose a female police officer.
"Policewoman."
JackeyLove seems a little annoyed. Fighting in the bottom lane will be very uncomfortable. The hands of the skateboard shoes are relatively short, so it is difficult to hit the policewoman.
Chen Lang looked at JackeyLove and frowned. He looked at Coach Hongmi and said, "Coach, I want to play with skateboard shoes!"
"???" Question marks filled the team members' minds.
In this game, you choose mid lane with skateboard shoes, do you think you will play ranked?
JackeyLove said: "Isn't it good?"
Chen Lang said: "Yes, Enchantress is not strong online in the early stage, so I will definitely suppress her. If you choose a high-explosion hero like Lucian or Draven in the bottom lane, Xiaotian can help you catch the opponent better."
"Moreover, after level 6, I have a big move that can grab Xiaotian to start a group. The blind monk can not only spin kick, but also save his skills to escape."
When Xiaotian heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he could indeed play like this.
It sounds interesting.
So, he voted in favor: "I think it's okay."
Hongmi looked at Chen Lang and Xiaotian's expressions and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
Anyway, they can continue to play after losing. Hongmi did not stop them directly. He always felt that the coach is not an arbitrary position, but can make changes according to the needs of the players. Since Chen Lang and Xiaotian both want to play, then let them
Try it.
Furthermore, one of his motivations for coaching CP in the first place was that a strong hero pool allowed him to experiment with many different routines and lineups. Isn't now the time to experiment with new lineups?
CP chose Lucian.
"???"
"Lucian is the mid laner?" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.
As a result, CP gave Lucian to JackeyLove and the skateboard shoes to Chen Lang.
