The lunch break ended quickly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.
The second round of the KPL youth academy draft officially kicked off.
After the first two exhibition games, half of the twenty seeded players have been wiped out. Now there are only ten players left on the field, and they will continue to compete until half of them are eliminated, leaving five top players.
Each of these ten players has extraordinary skills, and they have performed outstandingly in previous training, points competitions, and exhibition matches.
But in terms of fame, the most famous one is the first person in the first peak competition - Shadow.
In this draft, he is also the well-deserved top seed.
As the players re-entered, the host said with a smile: "Welcome back, the 2020 KPL Youth Training Camp Draft will continue to be presented to you... Next is the crucial link, the second exhibition match,
This time our ten promoted players will be regrouped to form two brand new teams."
As soon as he finished speaking, the game IDs of the ten players currently on the field appeared on the big screen behind the host.
The IDs of the ten people are displayed in order according to their ranking in the points competition. The first one is Lin Yan's ID "Shadow".
At this time, the host continued: "The composition of the teams in this round is still random. Let's see who will be grouped together."
As the host introduced, the ten IDs on the big screen began to change. Their positions were constantly switched and adjusted until five of them came together and the other five came together.
The first one to take shape was Zhan Whale’s team.
Zhan Whale, River, Dean, Lao De and Ju Feng... the five of them formed a group.
"That's true..."
Seeing this team configuration, Lin Yan couldn't help but sneer.
Because the configuration of these five people is basically perfect.
Among them, Zhan Whale is the jungler, River is the mid laner, Dean is the shooter, and Lao De is the support. Although Jufeng is also the jungler, he can also play a guest role on the wing.
Not only that, Zhan Whale, Dean, and Lao De are all old teammates of Team Wind, and their cooperation is quite tacit. Once they are matched into a group, they hardly need to get along.
On the other side, Lin Yan's lineup was also announced.
Lin Yan, A Wei, Chi Lian, Feng Xing, and Sui Yan were automatically matched into a group.
Among them, A Wei, Feng Xing, and Broken Rock are all development players!
As a result, the overlap of positions is inevitable. One of the three developmental players must play support and the other must play on the wing.
However, players in different positions have different playing habits, playing styles, etc., so it is not easy to adapt in a short period of time? So there is no doubt that from a configuration point of view, Lin Yan's side is still inferior.
This team grouping had just come out, and the audience was in an uproar.
There are four shooters among the ten people, and three of them are divided into one group. Relatively speaking, the strength gap between the two teams is too large.
Team Zhan Whale's configuration is almost perfect, but Lin Yan's team is a mess. Even if Zhan Whale wins this exhibition match, it may be difficult to convince the crowd.
Seeing the reaction of the audience, the host could not help but frown and said: "This grouping seems to have caused a lot of repercussions. Friends in the audience think this grouping is unreasonable, right?"
The audience immediately shouted: "Yes!"
Among them, Wang Cai from the Prime team was the most excited. He couldn't help shouting: "This grouping is too biased towards killing whales, isn't it? The three people in that group are all old teammates and don't need to get along at all. What a slap in the face!"
?”
Not far away, Guo Hao also shouted: "Shady! Shady! Shady!"
Hearing the fierce protests from the audience, the host looked quite embarrassed.
She actually felt that this grouping was unfair and it was quite a disadvantage for Lin Yan.
But at this moment, the judges stood up.
Among them, the CEO of the RoyalSoul team coughed, took the microphone and said: "Everyone, be quiet first, be quiet first..."
Although the audience was excited, they were all quality people and did not continue to make noise, but calmed down for the time being.
Guo Hao also snorted: "I want to see what kind of teeth this Mr. Ma can spit out of his mouth!"
At this time, Mr. Ma continued: "I know you have opinions and feel that there are too many development players in this group, but there is no way, this is the rule! Four of the ten seed players are all development, no matter what
In the end, the development lane players will definitely exceed the standard!"
Hearing this, some audience members shouted: "Then you can have two on each side!"
"Yeah, what's the point of throwing all three developmental shooters into one group?"
"How can you let Shadow Demon's team win?"
"..."
Mr. Ma turned a blind eye to the appeals of the audience and still stubbornly defended: "The grouping of the competition is random and cannot be controlled by humans. I have no choice but to change the rules. And for a professional player,
The hero pool is deep and the positions are changeable, which is an advantage. Haven't you noticed that in the current KPL competition, more and more players play more than one position?"
Mr. Ma's words are indeed correct. Currently, many players in KPL can play one or two positions.
For example, the swordsman of the Tiangong team was originally a jungler, but later moved to the development lane and became famous in the game.
After these words were spoken, the comments and doubts from the audience decreased significantly.
Mr. Ma was very satisfied and nodded immediately and said: "So, these are tests for the youth trainees. Only if they pass these tests can they jump over the dragon gate and go to KPL... Don't fight for them anymore, we have tried our best.
It’s fair and just!”
After speaking, Mr. Ma proudly put down the phone.
The host also quickly followed suit and said: "I believe that such setbacks will not affect the performance of Shadow Demon, A Wei and other masters. They will definitely give everyone a perfect exhibition match. Now that our grouping has been completed, let's continue.
Next comes the exciting BP session!”
The host quickly went through the grouping session in one sentence, so even if the audience had any opinions, they could not continue to raise them.
Lin Yan and the others had no choice but to head to the competition seats. There were a total of three shooters in this team.
Fortunately, during the lunch break, Lin Yan guessed the grouping for the second round in advance. The grouping results were exactly the same as what he had guessed. Taking advantage of the lunch break, he had already communicated with these "potential" teammates about the lineup.
Among them, Lin Yan, Chi Lian and A Wei are old teammates of the Fire Team, so in fact, in addition to the repeated positions, this lineup is not weak in strength.
But the RoyalSoul team's conspiracy doesn't stop there. In addition to grouping, they also have a second layer of insurance.
After the two teams sat down in the competition seats, the host began to introduce the rules of the second round of the exhibition match.
In fact, she didn't need to say more. Lin Yan and his teammates discovered the problem when BP came out of the room.
The red and blue sides in this room each have six bans, three in the first round and three in the second round.
Compared with the original 8 classes in the official competition, there are 4 more classes in this exhibition competition!
There are 12 classes in total!
It’s simply heartbreaking!
At this time, the host smiled and said: "Because there is only one opportunity for the second round of the exhibition match, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, we increased the number of bans to 12. The red and blue sides were able to ban 6 people in the first round.
You can also ban 6 people in one round..."
Seeing this scene, Chi Lian couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, this is so shameless! Aren't the 12 bans just to restrict us from playing pig farming or speed push streaming?"
Lin Yan snorted coldly, knowing very well about RoyalSoul's conspiracy.
The 12 classes are indeed designed for Lin Yan's pig-raising flow in the first round.
Because the heroes needed for the pig-raising stream are very fixed, such as Cai Wenji, such as Hou Yi... Once the number of bans increases, these core heroes will be directly banned, and unconventional lineups such as the pig-raising stream will not be available.
The more squads there are, the more it restricts the performance of weak teams...
