Chapter 61 TheShy is from LPL, Tzun is from the world! It's really exciting!
Chapter 61 TheShy is from LPL, Tzun is from the world! It's really exciting!
Amid the outside world's repeated calls and urging, the official live broadcast room finally switched to the backstage. A total of 10 players from both sides were present, sitting opposite each other under the spotlight, and began the live broadcast of the "Pre-match Declaration".
The jungler and support of WBG Shooter were introverted and followed the script prepared by the organizers obediently without any aggressiveness. However, A Shui and Xiao Tian, perhaps because they had been with Lu Yiming for a long time, had learned something from him and took the opportunity to show off some dirty talk, which attracted widespread ridicule from the barrage.
After all, both of them are champion players of LPL, and the audience's tolerance is very high. Even the emperor who wanted to get rid of Lu Yiming as soon as possible and hated the "pirated all-Chinese team" could not make any strong rebuttal. One by one, they said sourly in the barrage area: "The ancient champion is in trouble."
Everyone's attention was on the singles players of both teams, and the league officials also understood this. After the other four positions of both teams had finished talking to each other, they turned the camera to Lu Yiming and TheShy. The two will also have a direct dialogue before the game starts.
[How do you evaluate your opponent today? ]
"As for Tzun, I think he has the potential to become a super top laner in LPL. He is very resistant to pressure in laning phase and is the best tank top laner I have ever seen. He is also very good in teamfights, responsible, daring to operate, and has clear decision-making! He has achieved such results in his first year of debut. He is the most talented top laner I have ever seen!"
TheShy shyly gave Lu Yiming a thumbs up and said:
"I'm looking forward to playing against you today."
Although his accent is a bit strange, at this stage, his Chinese is barely passable.
Outside audiences did not expect that as the undisputed No. 1 top laner in LPL, TheShy would actually recognize the "King of Dirty Talk" recognized by the current LPL. Many fans were even worried that if Lu Yiming took advantage of the situation and made a few pretentious quotes, their brother might not be able to save face.
Lu Yiming himself did not expect that this shy man who has now become the dean of WBG would give him such a high evaluation.
Compared to Bin's domineering attitude, TheShy's attitude makes people feel friendly.
"TheShy's contribution to LPL in the past needs no further explanation. Before he won the championship, LPL's top lane was full of idiots, and the first pick was always the meat tank trio. After he won the championship, overnight, both in the Canyon and LPL, a trend of top lane carries was set off. To this day, there is no Aatrox in the Canyon who is timid in teamfighting. His position in the LPL top lane is crucial!"
"Even though it has been three and a half years since S8, he is now worthy of being called the 'Dean' in WBG."
"His personal style is very radical. Before my debut, I was also influenced by the River Sword Demon." Lu Yiming said: "I am also looking forward to today's match!"
Lu Yiming's words came from the bottom of his heart.
TheShy was unwanted in LCK in the past, and eventually went to LPL to make his debut in WE's youth training. After several twists and turns, he finally cultivated into his complete form in S8 after many setbacks. The River Sword Demon did influence a generation, and to this day, IG's road to the championship is often mentioned.
【? ? ? 】
[Is this still the king of dirty talk who starts pretending when he disagrees with someone? 】
[Could it be that he is afraid of the power of Brother Shai's fans, so he is just hypocritically praising each other for commercial purposes? ]
[He is not even afraid of the Royals, and treats Bin, who won two consecutive championships, as air. He even stood up and kicked the world's number one Shockwave. You tell me that he is the first in the standings, has 16 consecutive wins, and a record of 32 points, so he will be afraid of you, TheShy? The zombie fans are going crazy. ]
[It's rare for this guy to actively recognize others. ]
[Shai Ge commented that Tzun's talent is the best he has ever seen. This is recognition from the first super top laner in LPL. What is the gold content of his talent? ]
[Think about it carefully. He debuted at the golden age of 17, and has won all the games in the summer season so far. Only others are included in his highlights, and he has never been a background board for others to show off their skills. In terms of the regular season alone, he is even more outstanding than Ah Shui in S8! ]
【It really is. 】
[As we all know, Bin is the "Shy", and since Bin won the Spring Split Championship, he has called himself the "LPL's No. 1 Top Lane". After returning from MSI, he even called himself the "World's No. 1 Top Lane". TheShy is the first LPL top laner to win the World Championship. He thinks Tzun is the most talented top laner he has ever seen. In other words, Tzun is better than the "World's No. 1 Top Lane"! ]
[The person above knows how to convert. ]
【This Ganges beaver! 】
Netizens were all surprised.
However, Ahuangza and gsl felt very uncomfortable when they saw the barrage boy making fun of them.
In front of the screen, Bin frowned when he saw this. "No, why does TheShy recognize Tzun so much? He is the most talented top laner. Who the hell does he think he is? I am the Spring Split champion and the MSI champion, but I didn't say anything. But these two are bragging about each other in a commercial way."
Bin was so angry that he spat.
Around them, several RNG teammates were speechless. Gala, who played as the C in the Spring Split and played in the MSI, couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "It's as if the two consecutive championships were all yours."
[What do you think of today's game? Is there anything you want to say to your opponent? ]
Regarding the second question, many people outside, including the teams in the playoffs, are paying close attention.
"TES is a strong opponent, but we have played two more BO5s than them. All the players have warmed up in advance. Today we are all determined to win the game. Tzun, you have the shadow of my peak, but you have only debuted for one season, and your hero pool is not mature enough. After another season, your talent is likely to become the second TheShy of LPL, but today, I will end your winning streak!"
TheShy used the calmest tone to make the most powerful statement.
Upon hearing this, the comments in the official live broadcast room surged instantly. In the stands, TheShy's fans were all delighted, and were delighted by their brother's powerful speech.
"I don't have anyone's shadow on me." Seeing that the other party was so imposing, Lu Yiming also became interested: "You think my hero pool is not mature enough because you still have a one-sided understanding of me, but my friend, I know you very well. Today is our first match, and also the last match of this season."
"Because after today, the LPL's iconic top laner will change his name."
"It is debatable how many TheShys will be born in LPL, but what is certain is that there will only be one Tzun in the world!"
【6666! 】
【So domineering! 】
[Burning...burning! 】
【Bibo is burning! 】
[Why does he talk so much nonsense? ]
[He is hinting that his goal is to become the world champion. Is he ready to aim for the top spot in the world?]
【Zundu is fake! ! 】
Hearing this, even TheShy, who was sitting opposite Lu Yiming, couldn't help but look stunned, and teammates from both sides were all shocked.
On the contrary, the two people who had been hurling harsh words at each other looked like they were about to fight on the spot, but when they looked at each other again, they actually smiled at each other, their expressions filled with a desire for victory.
This explosive scene of the show was immediately captured by countless sharp-eyed netizens.
In fact, this was the first time the two faced each other this season. Although TES also faced WBG in the regular season, TheShy was temporarily resting due to injury at that time and was a substitute, so both sides missed the opportunity to get to know each other.

"Hello, everyone at the event or watching the live broadcast online, welcome to the second round of the 2022 LPL Summer Season playoffs."
"I'm the commentator Ze Yuan!"
"I remember."
"I'm Rita."
As the live broadcast was given to the front line, the three people responsible for the commentary also appeared one after another.
"Were you all watching the pre-match statements between the two teams' top laners just now?" Guan Zeyuan was the first to bring up the topic.
I remembered to quickly add to the joke and said, "Of course I'm watching. Both of you are the most popular players in the LPL today. I don't know if it's my illusion, but listening to their direct conversation before the game, I actually felt a sense of mutual respect between strong people."
"I feel the same way. Maybe this is what a pre-match declaration should look like? Both of them are very arrogant and confident in their own abilities. One is the No. 1 top laner in LPL history, and the other is the current LPL regular season record-breaking rookie top laner who is widely regarded as a promising player. These two are about to collide head-on. I can't help but look forward to the scene when they fight."
Rita pursed her lips and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice.
"I believe the audience is feeling the same as we are right now. Oh? It's here already! Both sides start the game very quickly. So, let's take a look at the first BP contest between the two sides!" Guan Zeyuan was about to comment more on this topic, but he saw that the BP screen had already appeared, so he immediately plunged into the analysis of the BP game.
……
WBG.
"Brother Sun, are there any heroes in the top lane that need to be banned?" Head coach EasyHoon asked, and also gave his own suggestions, "Our bottom lane position is very weak, and there is a possibility that the opponent may use De Zi to launch a surprise attack in the first round. It feels best to ban the AD position."
TheShy has long been accustomed to this. Throughout the entire regular season, he was either sacrificing for the mid lane or the bottom lane, and BP resources have never been used on him.
But this time, he wanted to fight for it.
"I want a ban position, let's ban his Poppy. Poppy has very high stats and mechanisms in laning phase, I can't beat her." TheShy suggested. He attached great importance to the laning phase in the top lane today. In the second round of the playoffs BO5, at such a critical juncture, TheShy knew in his heart that he had to stand up to cover the team in order to have hope of winning.
"Okay, Poppy is indeed a counter to the marksman in the top lane. If you really choose Poppy, it is equivalent to destroying your big and small kings." The Marquis thought about it and decided to ban the top lane.
He believes in TheShy's personal ability. Even though the item "Bloody Blade" has been deleted, TheShy's left-hand Lucian and right-hand skates are also two unique skills. His super high proficiency makes him confident to choose this hero with a very low tolerance rate but super snowball ability on the stage of the competition.
It just so happened that the opponent's top laner debuted as a tank, specializing in "resisting pressure". Other top laners may not be able to suppress Tzun due to lack of details, but Hou Ye is extremely confident that his capable player will definitely show his "don't eat" skills.
"The opponent banned Poppy. I guess they want to prepare Skateboard or Lucian for TheShy. Once you bring out Ornn, there will be no experience left." White Crescent Moon saw this and looked at Lu Yiming: "Do we need to block his two choices?"
He knew that the top laner could handle the heavy responsibility, and even if Lu Yiming asked for a triple ban top laner, White Crescent would do it without hesitation.
"I don't need it. You should help Wenbo target the opponent's bottom lane. TheShy's top lane Quinn is really amazing. I recently watched him ranked in the Korean server. This guy also practiced AD Kennen and top lane AD Neeko. If he really wants to play long-range against short-range, can you ban all of them with three ban positions?"
After hearing what Lu Yiming said, White Crescent Moon also felt that it seemed to make sense.
He looked at A Shui.
"Jin should be banned, he is one of the famous heroes of the opponent Huanfeng." Ah Shui looked at Lu Yiming and asked tentatively: "Brother, the opponent's top laner is likely to use long-range to fight short-range. If you really don't need a ban, I won't be polite."
"You ban yours, I can handle it." Lu Yiming looked down on him. His hero pool is no longer what it used to be, and he has plenty of cards to compete with TheShy.
The first three classes of both sides ended quickly.
TES: Jhin, Ezreal, Senna.
WBG: Poppy, Draven, Sylas.
"Top Esports didn't even ban a single top laner." Guan Zeyuan couldn't believe it. "The only player who can counter Skateboards and Lucian, Poppy, was banned. TheShy has all the heroes in his pool, and the red team still has a counter position. Tzun must play top lane first. Is he really that confident?"
TheShy's top lane Lucian and Skateboard Shoes have become his personal labels. Once they are chosen, opponents will face the "don't take the warning".
Although this thing will basically leave the game after being killed by the jungler twice, the game is not a rank game, and it is not that easy to catch in the top lane. In addition, after two rounds of BO5, SoFm has completely understood who is the big brother who can lead the team to victory. When TheShy selected this kind of hero, he decisively turned into a thug to protect him closely. In such a situation, it is even more impossible to give the enemy jungler a chance to attack the top lane.
"Is there a possibility that Tzun has a plan to deal with it?" Rita couldn't help but think of Lu Yiming's words during the pre-match announcement, and guessed: "He said that TheShy's understanding of himself is very one-sided. Could he have prepared something new for the playoffs?"
"Probably!"
Guan Zeyuan and Jide’s eyes both lit up.
Otherwise, there is really no reason to explain this problem.
Here in WBG, head coach Hou Ye and the person involved TheShy also became suspicious. When they saw the blue team decisively lock Lucian on the first floor, they hesitated.
What is going on over there?
Luna chooses 'Lu' first?
"No matter what, don't give them Nami. There's no reason not to demolish it." The Marquis felt insulted and decisively ordered the first floor to choose Nami. Then he helped Huanfeng on the second floor to take the powerful Aphelios first.
Although Yue Nan + Nami don't seem to be a good match, when playing with Huanfeng, there is no need to consider the issue of whether they are a good match or not. This guy is unlikely to be killed in a laning situation unless he is surrounded by three or four people.
Of course, it was difficult to achieve anything online, and not falling behind was already an 'advantage'.
"I got it." Seeing this, White Crescent Moon showed an expression of seeking credit, "Everyone says that the Marquis's BP is very good, but in my opinion, it's not that good."
"Stop showing off and make your choice quickly," Xiaotian urged.
On the 2nd and 3rd floors, they locked onto 'Zeli' + 'Cat'.
In the playoffs, Zelie Cat is still a trustworthy choice. Although she is afraid of hard supports in the early laning phase, the problem is that the opponent has already fallen into their routine in order to grab Nami. In addition, the ADC is paired with Aphelios, who does not have much stats in the early stage. This means that if Zelie Cat is taken out from the bottom lane, the development can be 100% guaranteed to be on par.
If you have good skills, you can even suppress the number of last hits a little. When you have two pieces of equipment, you will be in the strong period, and when you have three pieces of equipment, you will be officially formed. The later you go, the stronger you will be. Whether it is output or survival space in team battles in the late stage, Aphelios, who is known as the 'standing turret', can't compare with him.
【This hand is shaking 6. 】
[Lucian is the mid laner? ? ]
[Could it be that Tzun has been practicing hard recently and has mastered the top laner Lu Xian? ]
[It is really possible, otherwise why wouldn't he ban the top laner of Shaige? Normal tank players would think that three ban positions are not enough when they see TheShy. Once he takes out a goat or a veteran, Shaige will counterattack you with a skateboard kid. I guess Tzun would be sweating in front of the computer before entering the game. ]
【…】
Netizens, including commentators, couldn't help but guess whether Lucian would go mid or top. The double shooter system is rarely seen in LPL, but when fighting against some special heroes, it can often have a very good suppressive effect.
"Let's keep the Counter position for the second round. If you choose the top laner first, they still have room for adjustment." Although Hou Ye was surprised, Top Esports' choice was also within his expectations.
After all, he is a professional player who has seen big scenes. If it were any other LPL coach, he might have been stunned by this wave.
As for things like swinging, only outside commentators and some cloud players would make arbitrary guesses about it.
In fact, for TES, it is completely possible to make a more rational division of lanes based on the opponent's response. If the entire middle lane is Galio, maybe Lucian will go to the middle. If a hero with strong laning power is also chosen in the middle lane, TES can completely change its thinking and arrange Lucian to the top lane and then choose the middle lane later.
There is plenty of room for tactical options.
Therefore, the best way is to improve your own lineup. If you follow the opponent's thinking, you will definitely fall behind step by step.
WBG chose the jungler on the third floor - Wei!
Her nickname is 'Chu Yuxuan'.
"The decision to bring in a jungler on the 3rd floor was a smart one, Lord Hou. After forcibly grabbing Nami and breaking up the Luna system, the survival environment of Zeli and Cat in the bottom lane will be very good regardless of laning or teamfighting. Under normal circumstances, the best match for the Zeli and Cat combination is Titan, because his ultimate can lock the head."
"Chu Yuxuan also has similar functionality. Although the effect of her ultimate is not as safe as that of Titan, and sometimes she may even sell herself out, she can always lock down the ADC, and her ability to gank lanes in the early and mid-game is also very strong. In the LCK, Wei's win rate in the playoffs has reached a level where she must be banned or picked."
Guan Zeyuan and Jide were amazed at the Hou Ye's BP.
If no one can deal with this Zeli, with the perfect output environment of the cat A Shui in the later stage, she may really not die.
The results of the second round of banning came out soon.
TES: Ice Girl, Clockwork.
WBG: Monkey King, Alchemist.
