Chapter 22 "Double Sword Slide"!
Chapter 22 "Double Sword Slide"!
6pm on June 30th.
The Shanghai Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center was packed with people, and all major live streaming platforms were also extremely popular.
At the live commentary booth, I remember Miller had already started to warm up the audience by coordinating with the data given by the director.
"Then today's second focus battle, EDG vs. LNG, is about to begin!"
"Take a look at the lineups of both teams today!"
Posters of the two parties’ personnel emerged.
LNG: Ale, Tarzan, Doinb, Light, Lwandy.
EDG: Flandre, Jiejie, YE, Viper, Meiko.
As soon as the picture appeared, the live broadcast room instantly became lively, continuing the hot topic from last night.
[Come on, come on, Auntie Brother’s first LPL match is really against Coin Brother, the old relationship continues! 】
[Still in auntie brother, I have an ID now, call me grandpa! ]
[Guodian understands traffic, and deliberately let this newcomer play against Doinb in the first game. They don’t really think that two ranked games that no one cares about can mean anything, right? They even support my junior brother! ]
[To be honest, in the spring season, Xiaoxuedi was defeated by Coin Brother^.^]
[I watched the pure difference in the two live broadcasts! Today, I will see whether Doinb succeeds in revenge or is hunted down and captured by this newcomer for the second time! ]
[There is still a big difference between ranking and competition. It is not recommended to blow too early, or you may get a boomerang on the spot~]
The lineup announcement last night directly caused the comment section of EDG’s official blog to explode!
The main output is naturally the mothers.
Although EDG has recruited many new players to the team, this is the first time that they are put on the field as rotation players just a few days after being officially announced!
The main reason is that EDG lost two games in a row at the beginning of the summer season, and then replaced players in the third game, which is indeed easy to arouse speculation.
However, there were quite a few voices in the comment section speaking in support of Ye Bo!
After all, whether it was the initial "Five-Professional Game Carry" or the later "LDL One vs. Nine", Ye Bo always had an extremely positive image in it.
It can be said that this has earned him a lot of popularity among the audience.
"As everyone knows, the biggest change today should be the replacement of EDG's mid laner, and this is a rookie player who is making his LPL debut!" Jide on the commentary desk also talked about this topic.
"Of course, I guess if you surf frequently, you should be familiar with this player~"
"Indeed, today's mid-lane showdown between the two teams is very worth looking forward to. After all, these two players can be regarded as old rivals," Miller said with a meaningful smile.
“Let’s take a look at the matchup between the two teams this year.”
The screen shows the match records of the two teams in the S12 season.
In the spring season, EDG was defeated head-on by LNG, which had newly introduced Doinb as the mid laner this year, with a score of 2-0.
"EDG ranked seventh in the spring season, and LNG ranked fifth." Remember to continue conveying the director's data.
"Coming to the summer season, LNG has won both games so far."
"On the other hand, EDG has yet to win its first win in the summer season due to facing strong opponents JDG and OMG in the first round."
"Well, we also know that EDG's condition is still adjusting. Maybe that's why they chose to try and let this new mid laner play today?" Miller nodded in agreement.
The wording used in the explanation is rather euphemistic.
It is not an exaggeration to say that JDG is a strong enemy, but OMG, which is ranked 6th from the bottom in the spring league, is obviously not a strong enemy at all.
Losing to OMG at the beginning of the summer season actually proves that EDG has not yet fully adapted to the version.
on site.
The host Xi Ran, wearing a beautifully designed purple cheongsam with a slit, was the first to go on stage.
The players on both sides came on stage according to their IDs.
Among them, the cheers were obviously loudest when Doinb and Meiko were mentioned, after all, these are the players with the most fans on each team.
Of course, there is also a bigger one on EDG side who didn’t come today~
"Next, let's welcome EDG's mid laner, YE!"
Upon hearing his name, Ye Bo couldn't wait to trot out of the contestant channel.
He didn't care whether there were any cheers from outside or not. He just smiled brightly and waved his hands towards the audience seats on both sides.
"Dude, how come he doesn't seem nervous at all during his first appearance? He looks so relaxed?"
"I really envy this kind of super E person."
"You know what, he really looks like a young man, and he looks a bit more handsome than he does in the live broadcast camera."
"Yes, he is more handsome than my junior, but he is also older."
The EDG fans in the audience were discussing the game in whispers, not daring to be heard by the student mom sitting next door.
I’m afraid that I’ll be posted on Xiaohongbo twice soon!
Feeling that Ye Bo's performance seemed to be a distinct flop, many male audience members who had a good impression of Ye Bo, as well as some who were viewers of Ye Bo's previous videos on Bilibili, immediately gave him a shout of thanks.
There was even a loud voice among them shouting at the top of his lungs: "Come on, auntie brother!!!"
When Ye Bo on the stage heard someone cheering him on, he immediately waved in that direction and then sat back in the contestant seat.
"Ye Bo, your nickname is too weird, haha." Jiejie, who had already sat down, teased.
"There's nothing I can do. No one has remembered my new ID, so I have to try my best to make everyone remember it today!" Ye Bo waved his hand nonchalantly.
After the on-stage segment, the host once again completed the Dudu protection task before the game.
Accompanied by the LPL2022 slogan "Fearless Competition at the Peak".
The metallic clanging sound of BP then rang out!
"Here we go! Let's officially enter the BP phase!"
"EDG on the blue side, LNG on the red side!"
"EDG first banned Galio, and LNG banned Akali! Both are the favorite heroes of the mid laners of both teams!"
Because Ye Bo’s game in LDL was too famous.
Now everyone knows that this new mid laner has two unique skills—Akali and Leblanc.
"Ye Bo, the mid lane is definitely not going to be banned, right?" Coach Maokai asked. "Yes, coach, let's just stick with our last board yesterday. I don't think the opponent's mid laner will pull out anything too weird." Ye Bo responded decisively.
Thanks to Ye Bo's ability to review and analyze the game, Maokai, who values the players' personal ideas, did not look down on his opponent at all just because he was a newcomer.
In other words, the team must have such a good BP player, wouldn't it be stupid not to use him?
So in fact, today's BP research on LNG is even the tactical design in the game.
Ye Bo is deeply involved in all of this!
EDG banned Zeli, who was Denghuang’s favorite, for the second time.
But LNG’s second ban remained suspended for a long time.
"Brother Coin, should we ban this Leblanc? Leblanc's strength in this version is actually quite average." Coach Poppy was also asking the players for their opinions.
"Let's just ban him. Damn, this guy is from hero coins! If we ban him, he will have no heroes, and I can just suppress him in the lane!" Doinb, who is never stubborn, was firm in his attitude, and his tone highlighted his determination.
"OK."
As Ahri was banned, there was another burst of exclamations from the audience.
"Oh, here, LNG directly banned the two unique skills of the opponent's rookie!" Remember excitedly pointed out: "This is the highest respect!"
"What a pity. Actually, I was looking forward to this player's two unique skills before the game. I heard that these two heroes of his are very popular in LDL~" Miller expressed regret and gave his own analysis.
“But to be honest, both Leblanc and Akali have been greatly affected by the current durability update. Currently, the mainstream in the mid lane is basically traditional mages.”
"EDG triple-banned Jayce on the top lane, while LNG banned Kalista!"
EDG snatched Viper's Aphelios on the first floor. This is also the most used ADC hero in the durability version.
Seeing this, LNG counterattacked and took down the bottom lane combination of Jinx + Toad.
EDG responded by directly bringing out the jungler Prince to counter the two bottom lane combinations without displacement.
It was only when we got to the third floor and started casting that we started to have some difficulties.
The support can be sent out first, but in fact there are so many options that you don’t have to worry about being banned. And if you can take a look at the opponent’s lineup before sending out, you will obviously have a better response.
As the top and middle lanes are single lanes, it is natural that the later you appear, the easier it is to have an advantage over the heroes in the lane.
That means there has to be a sacrifice.
"Let me play, coach. I can play anything!" Ye Bo said without hesitation: "Brothers! Trust me!"
"You believe me so much, just take it. I know you chop it even in your dreams." Saint Spear Brother joked.
"Look, look, look, Ye Bo is so awesome!" Meiko also voiced his support.
After a week of training matches, the four teammates are obviously very clear about the strength of the new mid laner, as well as his proficiency in the opponent's hero. In their opinion, his skills are not inferior to those of the other two.
Especially the Holy Spear Brother!
After all, in the past week, Brother Saint Spear often fell asleep for no apparent reason, and then heard a voice from next door————"Double Sword Hua Zhan!"
"Yongen? Yongen!" Ji De looked puzzled: "Oh my god! It's confirmed!"
Miller also frowned slightly: "Yone is better than Akali and Leblanc. The durability enhancement can also improve this hero's early weakness, but it is definitely not a T1 choice."
"But being able to form a combo chain with Prince is actually a pretty good mid-jungle combination!"
Ye Bo has three unique skills, the third one is Yongen.
But compared to Akali and Leblanc, Yongen obviously has fewer games.
Of course, this is mainly because Yongen is a "new hero" that was just released the year before last. Compared with the evergreen Akali and Leblanc in the mid lane, his number of games is naturally not comparable.
However, ever since this hero came online, Ye Bo has been fascinated by its gorgeous skills, extremely high operating limit, and its dual attributes of "warrior" and "assassin".
Ye Bo naturally knew that Doinb was unlikely to release his two heroes.
So in addition to expedited practice of several powerful mages in the current version, Ye Bo also conducted intensive training this week.
Eventually, Yongen's proficiency was successfully raised to level six.
"Oh my god! Why does he do this?" Doinb was obviously a little unhappy.
He felt that the other party was looking down on him!
"Please choose Weapon for me. Weapon has a big advantage against their mid, jungle and AD. We can keep the counter for the mid laner." Ale, who believes that he has a unique skill for Weapon, said confidently.
Second round of ban.
Both sides continued to ban each other's jungler and top laner.
LNG chose Poppy for the jungler on the fourth floor to counter the advances of Prince Jaune and Yongen.
But at this time, the BP effect of releasing Yongen first was successfully demonstrated!
Since they have already seen Poppy coming out, EDG, who was originally planning to pick Rakan to counter, can now directly switch to picking Braum to counter!
At the same time, the top laner Saint Spear also successfully avoided the opponent and chose Kennen to counter Weapon.
Doinb finally chose the Tsar on the fifth floor, who is very strong in the current version and has no survival pressure in the game.
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
《Blue side: EDG丨丨Red side: LNG》

There is one more chapter, now code 0.0
This BP diagram should be more intuitive, and I will make one in the future.
You can also tell me whether it would be more comfortable to watch it in order of BP or directly display the lineup diagram with positions changed.
