The commentators for the opening game of the spring game were Guan Zeyuan, Wawa and Miller.
These three are currently the three most popular commentators. Wawa's game level has not improved much. He is the commentator who is responsible for controlling the field.
Miller is an old partner with Wawa, and his commentary in the early years was quite good, with passion and enthusiasm.
But as LOL becomes more and more popular, the commentators who come later are more professional, and their game level and understanding have become higher. Some of them are even retired players who have become commentators, so the level of commentators has gone up.
However, understanding the game is one thing, and explaining it is another.
Many people say that the team's tongue is not good, and the Mandarin is heavily accented, and the game commentary is silent, so the official commentator is that the combination of Miller and Good Baby is the most familiar and likeable.
Guan Zeyuan has made great progress, and his understanding of the game ranks among the top among the older commentators.
"Long time no see. After waiting for several months, I finally waited until the spring competition started." Wawa took the lead in chatting with the audience.
"This year's LPL is undergoing a major overhaul, a bit like the year of Season 5." Miller looked at the baby and smiled.
"If the date hadn't been clearly written on the calendar, I would have thought I was dreaming back to S5."
In the year of S5, the LCK earthquake occurred, the ten members of Samsung came to China, and Han Yuan with many potentials was also introduced to the LPL. That year was also the year that the Han Yuan era began.
Now, with the LPL winning two consecutive championships, the situation in the LCK has become serious.
Therefore, players' salaries have been significantly increased to match the LPL, which also makes Han Yuan who has been wandering around think about returning to the LCK.
After all, even if the salaries are similar, most people are still unwilling to leave their hometown and embark on the road to another country. Language communication is always a big problem.
Coupled with the differences in humanities and life, there will be many conflicts.
"Yes, the LPL teams have changed a lot this year." Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
"I originally thought that DG and RNG had changed a lot, but IG, who had good CP, came to make a big splash on the last day of the transfer period. It was really surprising."
"Theoretically, the lineups of EDG and RNG this year are weakened compared to last year. I am optimistic about WE. They have already played very well in the summer split last year after just one season. This year, they are ready to take off."
Miller watched Guan Zeyuan boasting about WE, he smiled and said: "Don't give up your milk for WE~"
"No, no." Guan Zeyuan laughed dumbly: "Getting back to the topic, what do you two think are the advantages of both sides in the game between IG and CP?"
Wawa was the first to answer: "I think the CP advantage is bigger. After all, it is last year's championship team. Although it lacks a strong top laner, Brother Holy Gun is not bad himself and the hero pool is relatively deep. Maybe he can replace it."
TheShy’s role in CP.”
Miller nodded in agreement and said: "Well, I think that's the case, and IG's lineup has been running together for a season last year. This year TheShy joined. Their strength should not be underestimated. The double C's of TheShy and Rookie are also very strong.
"
Rookie has always been one of the top mid laners in the LPL, and TheShy is currently the well-deserved top laner in the world. With the combination of these two, IG will not be far behind.
Miller first praised IG's advantages, and then changed the subject: "It's just that TheShy has played in CP for two years, and they know each other better. I think this may become the winner today."
Wawa nodded: "Well, in the jungle confrontation, Xiaotian is getting better and better, but Ning is a very thoughtful jungler, and the gap between the two sides is not big."
After some analysis, they concluded that IG has an advantage in the top lane and CP has an advantage in the middle and bottom lane.
But kid is an old player after all, so even if he loses to JackeyLove, he won't be too miserable.
This is a matter of veteran experience. If you know that you are not an opponent, you will not think about fighting but will develop steadily. Although this is not bloody, it will not become a breakthrough for the team.
Often the more young players want to prove themselves, the more likely they are to make mistakes.
It's better to mix it up than give it away.
During the chat, the game started.
The BP interface appears.
IG is on the blue side and CP is on the red side.
"To educate the audience, the current BP adopts a 10-banpick mode, so the player's hero pool is very considered."
Miller said: "Since this is the first time this mode has been adopted in the game, it is not clear whether the red side or the blue side has more advantage in the BP link."
Generally, changes in the version will affect the advantages and disadvantages of the red and blue sides. For example, in the S6 World Championship version, the blue side has an obvious advantage.
Because there are so many fixed ban hero spots, if the red side doesn't choose to ban them, then the blue side can grab them, which results in a very fixed quota of ban heroes for the red side.
Heroes like Leopard Girl will definitely be locked in the ban position by the red side, and then they will be targeted based on the heroes that the players are good at. This makes the red side's already poor ban position even more embarrassing.
Ning smiled and said: "Just follow the previously planned strategy to ban people and test the water in the first game."
"IG banned the three jungle heroes of Blind Sin, Excavator and Prince!" Guan Zeyuan was surprised when he saw IG's choice: "IG is targeting Xiaotian!"
Miller said: "The current version requires the jungler to do things in the early stage. The heroes IGban removed are the heroes who are better at doing things in the early stage. They came prepared."
Wawa said: "The IG ban is clearly targeting Xiaotian, and Xiaotian needs to confirm the jungle hero in the first three hands, otherwise they can continue to ban the jungler in the last two hands."
"If the jungler is not selected in the first round, IG can continue to block the jungler in the second round of banpicking. This will cause Xiaotian to fall into a situation where there is no jungle hero available!"
There are only a few jungle heroes that can be used in the current version. Once they are banned, coupled with subsequent targeting, the junglers will indeed have very few choices.
This is the intention of IG, to target Xiaotian's rhythm hero and let him play jungle core.
Male guns and wild core heroes like Qian Jue have not been released by IG.
In their opinion, Xiaotian's jungle core is not very powerful, and letting him farm in the jungle is IG's ultimate goal.
CPban removed Leopard Girl, Jess and Enchantress.
In the current version, Leopard Girl has a fast jungle clearing speed, which is very suitable for the rhythm of counter-wild.
The other two heroes are both mid lane heroes, Jayce belongs to the swing lane, and this is Chen Lang's respect for Rookie and TheShy.
Mainly, Jace basically has no natural enemies in the laning. If TheShy gets Jace, the laning will be very uncomfortable for Brother Holy Spear.
The heroes with strong ganking ability in the early stage were all banned again, so Xiaotian was not very good at helping Brother Holy Spear catch them.
If the laning was severely suppressed, it would be better to ban Jace. The main reason is that Chen Lang is also afraid that Brother Shengqiang's mentality will be affected.
After all, this is his first game after joining CP. It would be bad if there is something wrong with his mentality, which would not be conducive to his integration into the team.
For the last two bans, you need to select three heroes before banning anyone.
"IG chooses Spider!" Watou said loudly: "This is the only remaining jungler with strong early ganking ability. IG has blocked a hero with strong rhythm ability like the prince just to grab Spider!"
"TheShy and Rookie are both players who like to fight. Spider is indeed a very good choice to cooperate with them."
Miller: "CP needs a jungler chosen by Xiaotian. There are still a few jungle heroes to choose from. If we don't get a jungle hero for Xiaotian, it will be even more difficult to play in the second round!"
Guan Zeyuan nodded and said: "Yes, Xiaotian can actually choose Olaf. This way he won't suffer too much against spiders. It's just that the online gank efficiency is not as good, but it's not bad."
Wawa said: "Centrals and horses can also be used. Although they are not as good as those heroes, they are still a good choice at the moment."
"It's a bit targeted." Xiaotian smiled lightly.
JackeyLove was cheering on the side: "They saw that you are the most rubbish, so they caught you and beat you~"
"Jack, do you want to die?" Xiaotian glanced at JackeyLove coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
JackeyLove's neck shrank: "Just kidding~"
"Let's go out to the jungle first, otherwise the BP will be blocked in the second round." Chen Lang looked at Xiaotian.
White Crescent Moon said: "Okay, let's take Olaf. It's easier to fight spiders."
"Then choose a big tree and do a top-level swing!"
Brother Shengqiang said with a smile: "They definitely didn't expect Dashu to be a support. I have to see Brother Shy's choice of top laner~"
This is a routine they studied before the game, deliberately using big trees to confuse their opponents.
At present, Big Tree is a top unit and has never appeared in the auxiliary position. If it can be successful, it will have miraculous effects.
Of course, lqs has used big tree support in training matches, and the effect is not bad, but it will be a little more difficult to fight in the lane, but IG's bottom lane is KID and Sapphire, so there is no problem.
CP locked Olaf, and at the same time chose the big tree in the second hand.
"Big tree!?" Guan Zeyuan was a little surprised when he saw CP's choice.
"Does this mean we have to play tank top lane without TheShy?"
"A rare choice," Miller agreed.
In the past, the counter position of CP was basically reserved for the mid-to-upper players. As a result, the big tree appeared in the first hand, which was somewhat unaccustomed.
However, considering that the coaching styles of Red Rice and White Crescent Moon are also different, this kind of BP is normal.
"Dashu, isn't this an iron explosive wire?" Ning said with a smile.
"TheShy, you choose Riven when you hit the road, I'll help you catch him!"
It's not too easy for a spider to cross the tower. Even if the tree is hiding under the tower, Ning is confident that he can catch him to death.
Riven is also TheShy's signature hero, with sufficient damage and stable control, which is very suitable for cooperating with Spider's gank.
When facing TheShy, he chooses a big tree. Doesn’t this mean that he will resist the pressure until he dies?
"Then let's start with the bottom lane combination?" Baolan looked at coach Chris.
His current ID is Megan, a name specially assigned to his ADC, whose name is Marge.
"Okay." Rookie replied with a smile.
Chris showed a wicked smile and waved his hand: "Take it!"
IG immediately locked the combination of female gun and Han Bing!
"Wow!"
"This is copying BP!"
"The female gun Han Bing is here again~"
The commentators were very surprised to see the bottom lane combination that IG decisively chose.
"However, after the World Championship, the version has been changed. The combination of female gun and ice has been weakened, and it is not as strong as before." Guan Zeyuan mentioned.
"Since you dare to take it out, IG must have practiced it before." Miller said.
Wawa smiled and said: "Speaking of which, since the S6 semi-finals, I have seen many such bottom lane combinations in the rankings. They are indeed simple and violent, and the winning rate of the passerby game is very high."
Guan Zeyuan smiled crookedly and said: "The main thing is very simple. Just wait until level 6 for two people to zoom in. If you hit the arrow, you will die. You can have a huge advantage in the line, and it doesn't need to be too difficult to operate."
JackeyLove laughed directly when he saw the other party's choice: "Dream back to the S6 World Championship?"
"But this routine is not that strong now. Let's see how I beat you!"
CP chose Wheel Mom for the third time.
Wheel Mom's E can withstand Ice's ultimate move, and Wheel Mom has been strengthened, so she can now appear again.
After selecting people, start BP again.
IG banned the two mid-lane heroes Enchantress and Ryze, while CP banned Riven and Sword Princess.
IG saw that their top lane hero had been banned, and they had no particularly good options.
Chris asked TheShy: "Do you have any heroes you want to play?"
"How about a crocodile?"
The crocodile paired with the spider also has stable control, and the crocodile is also strong in lane, so it is still an advantage when hitting big trees.
TheShy shook his head: "I don't really want to play with crocodiles."
"Let's play with this."
TheShy puts the mouse on a hero avatar.
"Qinggangying!"
Qinggangying is a hero released in December 2016. It is a newly released hero. It is relatively elegant and has high damage, but it is difficult to operate and is very brittle.
"Is that okay?" Chris asked again.
"Okay." TheShy nodded.
Seeing that Chris was still hesitating, the rookie said, "Give him a choice. We'll help him catch him when the time comes. This hero is very powerful after taking advantage."
"Then choose."
Rookie himself chose Clockwork, and his ball can be used in conjunction with Qinggangying's ultimate move.
CP saw IG’s choice and had a discussion.
"This lineup is quite strong for team play!" Chen Lang looked at the opposing lineup.
"Qinggangying and Clockwork are not weak in the line-up, and they can cooperate in team fights. The female gun and Hanbing are a combination. IG is going to give us a powerful showdown."
White Crescent frowned: "Flando should use the big tree in the top lane. Supporting the big tree in the bottom lane is too passive. There is nothing you can do against the female gun's poke, and it is also difficult to get close to them to control."
The ice and the female gun double slow down, and the big tree has to walk up to the face to tie it up, which is a bit difficult.
"Okay." Brother Holy Spear obeyed the arrangement.
He didn't feel anything at all. For him, winning the game was the most important thing.
Whether it's playing Big C or being a dog, as long as he can win the game, he is willing to do it.
In the past few years of his career, he was afraid of losing, which made him become more persistent in his pursuit of victory.
"Assistant Malzaha." Chen Lang said.
"The passive shield can resist skills, and the ultimate move is stable and controlled, which is a good match for Xiaotian's roaming."
"If you're playing in a group, Qinggangying enters the field to cut AD, and you can also use his ultimate move to control it."
"It seems like a good choice?" Bai Yueya's eyes lit up.
"But, can you play?" White Crescent looked at lqs.
lqs said: "Not very familiar..."
"No problem." Chen Lang said with a smile: "This hero is not difficult, as long as the big move is given to the right person."
"After all, you are an assistant and not a mid laner. You don't need to play DPS. As long as you stay in the lane, you'll be fine."
