Fan groups such as Puppy, Factory Director and Rocky all have their own nicknames.
During the Spring Festival, Li Xiufeng relied on the young ladies fans he attracted on Weibo, and now has a fan nickname of "Iphoenix".
It's called "Aifeng" for short.
At this time, in the audience seats under the field, facing away from those "Theshine Sword Forging Pavilion" holding signs, are these "Ai Feng" ladies.
"Okay, our players have been debugged and confirmed, and the exciting competition is about to begin."
On the stage, Wawa had just finished speaking.
There was only a crisp "clang" sound heard at the scene.
The screen on the big screen turned and entered the first game of the year between KG and AG.
In this game, AG is on the blue side and has the right to grab this hand; KG is on the purple side and can arrange the last counter position.
Not surprisingly.
When BP first came up, it looked like Enchantress, and versions like Ryze and Malzahar were all sent to the Ban position.
However, what is more unusual is that KG also banned a top lane hero.
On the other hand, AG doesn’t even have a single top lane hero banned.
"Haha, it seems that the AG team is really confident in the top lane." On the commentary table, Brother Snake said with a smile, "I remember that after the opening game of EW, many teams would ban KG.
To show respect."
Wa Wa also smiled after hearing this and said, "But to be fair, Theshine is indeed quite powerful. When placed on the top lane, it is a natural counter position. Some people may think it is a bit excessive."
"But the truth is this. With Theshine in charge, AG really doesn't need to worry too much when going on the road."
"Well, both sides have already started selecting people."
Yan Xiaosu looked at the game screen and said, "In contrast, what I am more curious about now is what the top lane of both sides will choose in this game."
Talking about this, Wawa crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "I don't know if you have noticed, but I think Theshine and Brother Feng are actually top laners with very similar styles. What's more interesting is that the top lane of the two of them used to be You Dare.
If you catch me, you will die."
"Theshine later experienced the baptism of the competition and gradually matured, while Brother Feng also grew up inexplicably. The experiences of the two players can be said to be very similar."
"As for what heroes the two of them will choose for this game, I feel they should be more offensive. After all, they are the two most offensive top laners in our LPL. Currently, heroes such as Sword Lady and Crocodile are outside, and there are two more.
Riven, who is very good at all players, these are all..."
Wow wow was analyzing in an orderly manner when suddenly, the screen selection interface flashed twice.
The blue side's AG suddenly showed up with a Sion avatar on the third hand.
etc!
Sion?
Thane from Theshine?
Seeing this selection, many Theshine fans in the audience were stunned.
"Why Thane?"
"Hey, brother Shine, let's choose the Sword Girl!"
"Come on Rui Meng Meng!"
"What the hell kind of hero is Sion? Let's find another one."
"..."
On the left side of the stage, the AG competition soundproof room.
"Let's test the bottom of this game first. Is Sion okay?"
AG's head coach Kim held a notebook in his hand and looked at Theshine at the side while talking.
Theshine nodded slightly.
A clang!
Sion's profile picture is locked.
at the same time.
KG's side on the right side of the stage.
When coach Han Yunlong saw his opponent take down Sion with the first three moves, he couldn't help but frown and touch his chin, staring at the BP interface in front of him.
The new version of Thane, also known as "Old Driver", is a hero who is full of frankness.
The long-distance team-fighting ability of his ultimate move and the control and stickiness ability of his small skills are enough to make him a T1 tank top laner with the level of "teamfight trouble maker".
Originally designed according to KG’s tactics,
In this game, they actually prepared a lot of Counter for Theshine's top lane.
This includes the matching of subsequent lineups.
They had imagined that Theshine might choose Riven Sword Lady Crocodile, including team-fighting vampires and electric rats.
But I didn't expect that in this top lane matchup that attracted countless people's attention before the game, the opponent actually picked Sion in the first game.
No wonder Han Yunlong hesitated.
If the opponent chooses Sion, can they still give Li Xiufeng an offensive hero as originally planned?
Could this be a trap by the other party?
Seeing Han Yunlong's hesitation, Li Xiufeng sat quietly in front of the computer and said nothing.
A team needs trust.
Han Yunlong, who has coaching experience in China and South Korea and led his team to three appearances in the LPL and LSPL, is definitely not mediocre.
So he trusted his decision.
At the last ten seconds of the countdown for selection, Han Yunlong suddenly let out a breath and said to Li Xiufeng:
"Squeeze this one and get a stable top laner to see what tricks the opponent is playing."
"Yeah." Li Xiufeng nodded.
"Do you have a more stable top laner?" Han Yunlong suddenly asked.
As a coach, when the players have proven their ability, he will naturally not insist on his own way. He should consult the players more when he needs to consult.
But the next moment, he regretted it.
"Actually, I'm quite stable."
Li Xiufeng said seriously.
Several people in the KG team twitched their eyes slightly.
Stay safe, brother-in-law, stay safe!
"speak English."
Coach Long took a breath.
Li Xiufeng pondered for a moment.
His eyes quickly glanced at the selection interface and suddenly stopped on a certain hero.
"Stone man."
stone man?
A mixed beast?
Hearing these three words, KG and others were stunned. The expressions on their faces seemed to be more surprised than when they heard Li Xiufeng say that he was very stable.
This hero...can he play?
There were only the last five seconds left in the selection time. Coach Han Yunlong took a deep look at Li Xiufeng and finally said, "Then the stone man is locked up."
Solid as a rock!
A clang!
The purple side locked the stone man!
All of a sudden!
Seeing the completely unexpected two-hand move in the game, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone was a little confused in their minds.
At the same time, the barrage in the official event live broadcast rooms on all major platforms was also scrolling crazily.
"666666"
"The Thane stone man is not bad."
"Haha, this is the most offensive top lane duel in the LPL? It's really funny."
"I'm here to watch the fight, not to watch you go out and deal damage to each other."
"I remember Brother Fengzi used to live broadcast that the stone man was just a bully and a bully. I felt sick when I saw this B hero."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My youth is over, and Mineko-san has lived the life that he hates the most."
"One name is Brother Feng, one is always a Peak Dog!"
"..."
Everyone in the audience was speechless for a while.
In the game BP interface on the field, the AG and KG teams also completed their final selections.
The lineups of both sides were finally determined.
Blue square AG:
Top lane Sion, jungle prince, mid lane plane, bottom lane Lucian and support Zyra.
Purple square KG:
The top lane is Stoneman, the jungle troll, the middle lane is Victor, the bottom lane is EZ and the female gun.
