Chapter 36 EDG's True Zoe King! Second Challenge! [2K Extra Update! ]
Chapter 36 EDG's True Zoe King! Second Challenge! [3.6K plus more!]
After half a day's break, all staff quickly returned to their combat readiness.
When Scout heard the coach say that Ye Bo would still be the starter in this game, he was obviously not so calm anymore.
The next opponent is WBG.
This team underwent an important personnel change this year, and as a result, it has become one of the top three "traffic teams" in the LPL.
It is even more popular than the SN team before it was acquired by Weibo and renamed after winning the Asian Championship in S10.
Just because, WBG has Theshy!
His popularity is not even inferior to that of Uzi in his peak period. He is absolutely ahead of other active professional players. He can be said to be the biggest experience book after "Pig Dog".
Just this year, the last two members of the old IG also announced their departure from the team.
Rookie went to V5 after several outrageous twists and turns, while Theshy was recruited by the wealthy WBG early on.
In the spring season this year, when the top laner was replaced, EDG was defeated 3-1 by him.
Moreover, in the four games in the spring, even in the small game that was won, Saint Spear was obviously suppressed by the opponent, and finally won the game with a record of 1/6/4.
From this perspective, it seems to be a problem with the top laner, so what does it have to do with the mid laner?
The answer is, yes!
"In summary, to fight them, we need to pick a roaming mid laner to make up for the ganking resources in the top lane."
"WBG's support, ON, likes to force his way to the top lane and often runs around at the wrong time. In addition, Sofm's playstyle tends to be aggressive, which puts Xuanjun under a lot of pressure in the laning phase."
The coach put it more tactfully.
But Saint Spear himself was not shy about it. He scratched his head and apologized to his teammates: "I was a little stressed when laning against him. The four games in the spring season were mainly my fault. I will reflect more on it this time."
"It's okay, but as I said, WBG's style of play is a bit biased towards this, so this is why I advocate that Ye Bo continue to play."
Although EDG just won the championship, there is no problem that the coaching staff cannot control among their members. The coach even often points out problems by knocking on the table without any hesitation.
This is not only due to the club's management, but also to the deterrent effect of the mascot with folded arms at the back.
As for the three losses in the spring season, although Scout was not to blame, he did show some problems.
He and Angel are so similar.
Admittedly, he should be stronger than his opponent in terms of personal strength, but the problem is that if he cannot make a breakthrough in the laning phase, it will be difficult for them to create the so-called "gap" before the team battle with their similarities.
Scout is not good at controlling the overall rhythm of the game, and his playing style tends to be solitary.
EDG also tried to let him use Card to force support, but it has proven to be even less effective.
The card's win rate in the durability version is very low. The damage to begin with was minimal, and now in the early stages there is really no damage at all!
Moreover, this hero is weaker than most of the current mid-jungle combinations in 2v2. When facing Sofm, who likes to invade the jungle, he will be at a great disadvantage in encounters in the jungle.
Of course, the main reason is that Scout doesn't like this hero.
So no matter from what angle.
Ye Bo, who showed good "roaming" and "overall control" abilities in the last game, is obviously more suitable for this battle.
"Ye Bo, do you have anything else to add?"
Since being instructed by Abu, Maokai has also begun to intentionally allow the other party to participate more in BP design.
And obviously, this is proven by the user experience of the entire team now.
It's really useful.
Ye Bo often has some "sudden inspiration" ideas that always surprise everyone, and they keep wondering how they came up with them!
But actually, how else could it be thought of?
It's just a result of hard experimentation in many games~
"Well, besides what the coach said, I have some other ideas."
Ye Bo stood up naturally and walked to the table.
"I have made some new discoveries about the WBG team in the past two days."
"Their support likes to roam, so they will prioritize choosing Xayah for AD as much as possible. Because Xayah's CD armor-piercing ability to clear the lane is very bad in this version, so this may be something we need to limit."
"The second is the BP in the middle lane. Judging from the recent data of Taliyah, it may be banned. The remaining regular support heroes are Galio, Twisted Fate, and Ryze."
"But these three heroes all have a little problem."
"Although these three heroes all seem to have the ability to clear lanes and roam, it can actually be found that these three heroes are very poor at fighting in the early stages. They have to wait until at least level 6 before they can do anything."
At this point, Scout couldn't help but interrupt, "What do you mean by midlane doesn't need to work at level 6? Leblanc? Can you pick her? And even if you did, do you think you would be able to gain an advantage?"
Ye Bo did not avoid the other person's gaze.
He looked her in the eye with a frank and unassuming manner, and continued to express his understanding.
"No, actually, Enchantress is not my first choice."
"Because I also studied Angel, his laning style is very stable, even more stable than Doinb in some sense."
"The main reason is that their jungle thinking is also very strange. It is not as easy to guess as Tarzan, so the pressure of defending against ganks will be quite high."
"As for Leblanc, if she doesn't have an advantage, it's too dangerous to roam and clear the lane. Using W to clear the lane will make her easy to get caught."
Although Ye Bo is usually laughing and joking, he will be very serious once he starts talking about crucial issues in the game.
This is not because of any gambling challenge, but because Ye Bo attaches great importance to every game and victory.
"Ye Bo, please continue." Mao Kai suppressed Scout who was about to refute, and his eyes showed that he was obviously attracted by the other party's story.
"Well, my idea for the BP in the middle is, if there is Taliyah, then grab it. If not, I might suggest giving priority to Zoe."
"Zoe's advantages are obvious. She clears waves quickly and is very strong in fighting. She is very strong in fighting from level 1, whether it is laning, roaming, invading or defending the jungle. I think this is a good choice when dealing with WBG."
Scout, who was about to retort, was a little amused after hearing this.
No, that's no problem!
Zoe can.
But, if I’m playing Zoe, do I still need you to come?
Who here doesn’t know who is EDG’s Zoe King!
"Oh yeah, I know that Li Can's Zoe is also very good, but, um."
Ye Bo paused and tried to formulate his words: "Our Zoe's style, play style, and thinking may be a little different. Perhaps she will be slightly more suitable for the WBG match."
Others had no problem hearing this.
After all, a hero can have different playing styles in the hands of two people. Isn't this normal?
Some people are able to play the assassin as a team.
Some people can play utility heroes alone. Some people can even play the Archmage as a semi-tank ADC!
However, it was obvious that Scout's expression was already starting to look unhappy.
From his perspective, it was already a bit unpleasant that the opponent started again in this game, and then the coach asked Ye Bo to come up and provide additional guidance on BP.
Now you mean, your Zoe is no worse than me?
Xibaer, I am your senior!
Do you know who Zoe's skin belongs to?
“good good”
"Then I'll wait and see what difference you, Zoe, can make."
"Coach, I'll leave first. Since someone is so confident, I shouldn't be needed to save the game, right?"
Maokai and Mingkai looked at each other and then nodded.
As bystanders, they actually felt that there was nothing wrong with Ye Bo's words, but there was no need to delve into it in order to avoid conflicts in the locker room.
The tactical meeting phase is over.
Everyone returned to their dormitory rooms.
"I didn't mean that," Ye Bo muttered.
"Don't think too much," Li Xuanjun followed him from behind and put his arm around his shoulders. "He's just like that sometimes he gets angry. Maybe he just misses home too much. Don't worry about it."
"That's definitely okay~ What's the big deal? After all, everyone just wants our team to win the game." Ye Bo turned his head and showed a big grin.
"Hehe, I knew that with your personality, you should be fine. I don't think I've ever seen you really unhappy. Last night I went to your B site and someone cursed you in the reverse role below, but you pinned it to the top, right?"
"Oh no, I liked it, added it to the featured post, and then pinned it. It took me a lot of effort to find it."
That was Ye Bo's way of motivating himself.
Because from the words in old Dengbo's diary, one can feel that the other party was under a heavy attack at that time.
This is also what Ye Bo warned himself about. He should not get carried away just because public opinion is favorable now. You see, even if public opinion is favorable, there will still be people scolding you, right?
So, we have to perform better!
"But you are really confident. You even want to compete for EDG's real Zoe King. Haha."
"I'm so envious. If you ask me to say that I can stand up to Theshy, I don't have the confidence."
Although Li Xuanjun was joking, his tone was not entirely sarcastic.
He is really envious.
He is not the kind of person who is so shameless that he would not look for reasons after losing and would not change to practice new heroes.
In fact, ever since the spring game, he has been practicing hard on laning, wanting to get back to his form last year, and as a result, he suffered a relapse of the hand injury he suffered from the "BO10 Tragedy" that year.
But it has to be said that the four games in the spring season still left some shadows on him. Being continuously singled out by the opponent was a very painful experience for a top laner.
"Don't say that, Brother Saint Spear. I think your idea is wrong."
Ye Bo looked at the other person seriously.
“We may not be among the most talented players, but we definitely have a solid foundation and are capable of catching up. I think not every player who wins the championship is born with freakish talent.”
"If others practice ten times, we will practice twenty times. If others practice twenty times, I will practice fifty times. If others practice fifty times, I will practice one hundred times. If that doesn't work, I will practice two hundred times."
"Actually, I don't have any talent, I just play a lot of games. Look at me, I play more than 8,000 ranked games a year on my Canyon account. Who would be so good at doing this?"
At this point, Ye Bo suddenly raised his hand in a very childish way and put it on the other person's shoulder.
As he is half a head taller than the other person, he has a unique sense of cuteness.
"But so what! I can still beat the world champion alone! So it proves that hard work can change your destiny! And that's the coolness of self-confidence!"
"Besides, you are already a world champion. That place is something I have never been able to reach even in my dreams."
"If you still don't have confidence in yourself, you're in Versailles~"
Li Xuanjun looked at the other person blankly.
When they looked into each other's eyes, he seemed to be able to see the overflowing heat in the other person's pupils.
Li Xuanjun, who was originally feeling a little depressed, suddenly felt a surge of emotion for some reason.
"No problem, I also beat theshy last year, fuck!"
"Fuck!!!" Ye Bo let out a strange cry.
"Don't worry, it's possible that Theshy could be the weakness of this team."
The two people in the dormitory immediately began passionate and crazy training.
Only this time, it was a relatively rare upper-middle training.
Of course, Li Xuanjun had a hand injury and his energy was definitely not as good as Ye Bo, who was eight years younger than him.
Every day he would reach his limit early in the morning, to the point where his operations became distorted and he could no longer continue.
Whenever this happened, Ye Bo could only call Zhao Lijie to play in shifts. If no one was around, he would just play solo. This often gave Li Xuanjun a boost, and he would get up again right after lying down, even if it was just to stand behind and watch him play.
Even his paper wife hadn't been favored for several days.
The road ahead is long and full of challenges and unknowns, but these are also what motivates Ye Bo.
In order not to let myself down.
To win everyone's approval.
To make the only thing you are good at valuable.
Even if it's just to make money.
Although the journey is bound to be boring, but with each passing day, Ye Bo feels that he is getting stronger.
in a blink.
A week has passed.
Today is the day when Ye Bo’s second challenge arrives!
