Chapter 84: 3 consecutive wins in the season! Learn from the "Czar"!
Chapter 84: Thirteen consecutive wins in the season! Learn from the "Tsar"!
"Congratulations to EDG! They beat FPX 2-0! They didn't drag the suspense to the last game, and the record of consecutive big wins is still maintained!"
"FPX was just a little bit behind in the last game, but EDG showed better coordination in the 40-minute operation and lane change, and destroyed the teamfight with a stronger double C core!"
"YE is so good at controlling the Tsar, he is worthy of his reputation!"
"Although he was a bit aggressive in a few waves in the mid-term and almost failed, he proved himself by pushing LWX and Clid back with a perfect push in the last wave! In the end, this is why we like this player."
The commentary was passionate between the curtains.
As the referee behind them nodded, the EDG team took off their headphones and signed in to the event camera placed in the lower left corner, only to receive a reply that the signal had been cut off.
Since the end of that packed traffic war, due to the recurrence of the epidemic, offline competitions could not be held due to the gathering of people, and the second half of the LPL Summer Games had to be held online.
However, at this time, the advantages of e-sports events are reflected.
Compared to the dilemma of other traditional events being almost completely shut down, e-sports events were directly switched online when encountering such a situation!
Apart from the lack of a gorgeous stage and live audience, the viewing experience is actually almost the same as usual.
Even the host and commentator put up a curtain, and as long as they pretended to be commentating live, it would be impossible to tell unless someone said it.
Seeing the camera turned off, Ye Bo let out a sigh of relief and lay down on the gaming chair. He said apologetically, "Sorry guys, I shouldn't have attacked them during those few rounds. I got sick a few times."
Because after RNG suffered a disastrous loss to V5, EDG's resurrection was basically a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, the coaching staff unanimously decided to make good use of the second half of the schedule, which is not too stressful, to conduct "training".
That is, use the normal system in the first game. After winning, start practicing the new thinking system.
If we can win the second game, everyone will be happy. If we lose, we will return to normal in the third game and ensure a smooth win of the BO3.
In the second game of the day, Ye Bo chose the Tsar whom he had just trained.
There was no problem with the operation overall, but it was obvious that he made many decision-making mistakes in actual combat.
For example, during a mid-game dragon fight, he only wanted to use his physical body to start the fight and push back the double C. Even though the extremely fast EQR's spin push was beautiful, it did push the opponent's double C back.
But his E's displacement was interrupted by his physical body, and he was stranded in the same place and couldn't come back!
The result was that the opponent's two Cs used both skills to flash back, and the five of them surrounded the Tsar and killed him instantly, and eventually lost the fight for the little dragon.
Fortunately, the last wave of the group successfully saved face.
Ye Bo was not "scared" by that wave of mistakes, nor did he follow what "Little Tiger in Memories" said, preferring to do nothing rather than make mistakes.
He still chose to fight in the 40-minute decisive team fight, and once again bravely took action to start the fight himself. In the end, he made a desperate counter-attack on the perfect terrain without any danger and ended the game!
"Master Ye is so Versailles again, that last wave is so handsome!" Jiejie pushed the gaming chair and slid over.
"I think there's nothing wrong with it! The Tsar can at least get 77.77 points in this game!" Saint Spear said with a smile.
"Ye Bo, don't set your standards so high. In fact, we all made a lot of mistakes in this game. Your mistakes weren't that big. This really puts pressure on us brothers!" Meiko cleverly consoled.
"Indeed." Viper added 1 briefly.
"You've only been practicing the Tsar for a few days, right? You're doing pretty well," head coach Maokai came up and patted Ye Bo on the shoulder. "But after this test, I feel that the Tsar, Corki, and Clockwork systems are not as easy to win as the roaming systems."
"Is the difference between the LPL and LCK environments so huge? In LCK, Tsar is number one in all his statistics, but in LPL, Tsar's win rate is really impressive. The same is true for Corki, whose win rate is an absurd 10% lower."
Maokai bit the cap of his pen and scribbled on his notebook, having decided to eliminate this system from their repertoire.
"I think it's still my playing style that's the problem. I'll go back and practice more."
Even though the teammates' words of comfort were sincere, the actual data also proved that the winning rates of Tsar and Corki in the LPL region were indeed very low, both below a pitiful 45%.
But Ye Bo always felt that there was something strange about his performance.
Speaking of which, after the battle with Xiaohu and reading that diary.
Ye Bo had a new understanding of his "Training Plan".
He still hadn't completely changed his mindset before, always thinking about his next level 7 hero, focusing on practicing his next "unique skill", and worrying about how many heroes he could practice in the two months before the S game.
But if you think about it carefully, the cost-effectiveness of doing so is not high.
Because it is not difficult to find that the experience value required for level 6 is one digit higher than that for level 5, and level 7 is one digit higher than that for level 6.
Therefore, it takes a long time to train a level 7 hero.
But if he just wants to train a level 5 hero, the "real time" required for Ye Bo is quite fast!
This may be the biggest advantage!
The previous battle with Left Hand had already proved that the reason why Ye Bo was so adept at dealing with Left Hand Galio was because he had a level 5 Galio received from the minimum living allowance and had a comprehensive basic understanding of this hero.
Including the duel between Crocodile and Xiaohu, it was also because he was very familiar with Crocodile's laning during the first half of the year's Rank ranking.
These practical examples all prove it.
Even if Ye Bo himself does not play in the game, he can at least train a level 5 hero, which will have an unexpected effect when he goes against this hero!
It is also because of this that Ye Bo has recently been practicing various tournament regulars that he does not "like" to play.
For example, Card, Clockwork, Victor, Airplane, Tsar.
Ye Bo is not planning to add these heroes to his training schedule. For the time being, he only plans to stop training them at level 5. He practices Tsar in depth because of this hero's outstanding data in the LCK league, and this is the advice he got after asking Maokai.
However, he was not satisfied with the results of his Tsar practice.
But there were also unexpected gains!
"Jiejie, did you feel any changes in this game compared to before?" Ye Bo leaned over and asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Jiejie didn't understand at first.
"Maybe it's the coordination between our midfield and jungle? I can't really say."
"When I played Tsar. Maybe it was because I was fighting the airplane in the middle lane, and the laning pressure was not too big, so I felt that I could observe other lanes more."
Before Jiejie could reply, Saint Spearman next to him suddenly answered, "Yes! Remember the level 8 wave? You reminded me that the opponent's soldier that was supposed to be upgraded hadn't been upgraded yet, and the opponent's jungler might be lurking, and it turned out to be true! The problem we talked about when we first met has reappeared!"
"I was just wondering, you are on the line with me, why do you still have the mind to switch screens to look at me? Are you an overseer?"
After listening to Saint Spear Brother's words, Jie Jie suddenly realized: "So, it's true. It's obvious that Master Ye has been talking a lot more in this scene."
"So, you can command more when playing Tsar? But that's weird, shouldn't you be able to command more when playing a roaming hero like Taliyah?"
Ye Bo didn't know how to answer.
After all, he had just started practicing Tsar and his understanding was not enough.
He also didn't know why, for a hero who was supposed to be a development hero, he had more "desire to command" than when he was playing Taliyah.
Exit the competition server and log into the Korean client.
Ye Bo plans to play Tsar a few more times in the training camp to get a feel for it.
But that's when I saw the client's friend list.
He suddenly saw an ID and slapped his forehead, remembering something.
To practice the Tsar, one must learn from the “Tsar”! ?
Click the [Hide on bush] dialog box.
Because Viper was in the cafeteria, Ye Bo saw that the other party was not in the queue and was worried that he would be offline and waiting too late, so he could only communicate by himself.
But he himself didn't know where the problem lay and didn't know where to start.
After thinking about it, I decided to just ask directly.
"Hi Faker! Excuse me, can I ask you a Azir question 0.0? (Hello faker, can I ask you a question about the Tsar 0.0?)"
Ye Bo, who had used all his life's knowledge, successfully came up with the opening question.
Li Xianghe on the opposite side had just closed the live broadcast and was about to quit the game when he suddenly saw the dialog box light up.
When he saw the ID [Chinese kung fu], he instantly thought of this person.
Li Xianghe had a very good impression of this person because he later tried out the technique the other party mentioned in actual combat and it indeed produced quite good results, proving that it was a better solution.
Although he has not used Akshan in the game yet.
But the communication that day left Lee Sang-hyuk with a deep impression of the player who replaced Lee Ye-chan.
Soon a reply popped up in the chat box.
“of course.”
Ye Bo continued to use what he had learned throughout his life: "Play Azir, Why can I be a good conductor team?"
Lee Sang Hyuk was able to receive this ungrammatical English perfectly and got the point.
“Can I speak Korean?”
"Yes! I can wait for Viper to help me."
If it weren't for the last exchange, Li Xianghe might not have paid attention to such a question. But because of that interaction, he could feel that the other party was in a purely discussion mentality, just thinking about how to play the game better.
Lee Sang-hyuk really likes communicating with such people.
Because he felt that he was also such a person.
Li Xianghe thought about it and expressed his thoughts in the chat box.
A long passage of text was translated.
Although Ye Bo couldn't understand it, he could tell from the length of the text that the other party was speaking very seriously.
"Thank you!!"
"learn from each other."
All of Ye Bo’s lifelong learning was drained away, and he was completely unable to understand the last sentence of English sent by the other party.
But when he used the translation software, the result he got was————"learning from each other".
Ye Bo was suddenly a little touched.
Although this is obviously just a polite remark, the opponent is the strongest player in the history of the league's midfielder after all. Even if his form this year seems to be no longer at its peak, it obviously does not affect anything.
"Brother Viper, come here! Help me translate!"
Viper walked in and heard Ye Bo's hurried voice, so he also walked over quickly and sat down to read the long paragraph of vernacular Korean carefully.
He summarizes and then describes it in as few sentences as possible.
“He said that compared to other core heroes, the biggest feature of the Tsar is that he has the longest hand, the farthest leg, and the safest position, but his disadvantage is that his stats in the early and mid-term are too low.”
"The longest hand refers to the normal 1000-yard range of the W Sand Soldier's basic attack when finishing off a target."
"The longest leg refers to the EQ's theoretical limit of nearly 2000 yards of displacement, and ER's double life-saving skills."
"As for the safest position, should it actually be translated into Chinese as 'sense of security'?"
Since Lee Sang Hyuk spoke a lot of vernacular, many literal translations could not be completed.
But when Ye Bo heard Viper's half-guessed and half-interpreted original words, when he heard the three words "sense of security", his mind suddenly buzzed!
That's right.
It's a sense of security!
Why is it that when playing a core hero like Tsar who seems to need to develop, Ye Bo can be more distracted to give commands and observe information than when playing other roaming heroes?
It’s because of the Tsar’s damn sense of security during the laning phase!
Although due to years of strength, the Tsar's current early-stage stats are already terrible, which means it is difficult to suppress others during the laning phase.
But its long arms, long legs, long displacement and the Wall of Imperial Guards make it extremely difficult to be ganked.
Compared to Corki, Card, Galio, and Taliyah
These are either "extremely weak in laning" and need to concentrate on laning.
Or they "have no displacement and extra life-saving ability" and need to concentrate on preventing ganks.
Compared to these heroes, the current version of the Tsar only needs to make money from a long distance and does not have much pressure to defend against ganks. Also, because of his own late-stage magic core attributes, he does not have any "offensive pressure" at all.
Then naturally I can devote a lot of energy to doing "Conduct"!
Ye Bo seemed to suddenly understand.
This may be why the LPL Tsar’s win rate is far lower than that of the LCK, and even other similar big magic cores are also true.
Because in fact, if the Tsar could not exert this "idle command ability".
Then the Tsar will become a big brush that is weak in laning and fighting, and has to be invisible throughout the whole game for thirty or forty minutes before he can stand out!
And in the LPL region.
There are really not many teams that are completely commanded by the mid-level units.
There are even many teams whose mid laners don’t speak at all!
"If that's the case, then shouldn't we attack the Tsar?"
Ye Bo's way of thinking has always been different from others.
After he figured this out, his first reaction was not to practice Tsar right away.
After all, even with this characteristic, the Tsar’s own heroic mechanism cannot be changed, and is still not very suitable for EDG’s current tactics. At most, it can be kept as a system reserve.
Ye Bo was thinking about whether he could use this characteristic of the Tsar to develop a way to fight this hero.
Even more, it is necessary to formulate some tactics that can break the hero's ability to play this kind of hero's characteristics well.
【Congratulations! Triggering epiphany! 】
[(Desert Emperor) Proficiency Experience +10000]
Ye Bo stared at the prompt box in front of him in a daze.
Does this work too?
"Master Ye, come and have some egg tarts. This master is really good at baking. He must be a jerk who was poached from JDG!"
Dazed, Ye Bo took out the tinfoil plate, feeling that he had caught something besides the experience point reward.
However, those seem to be some distance away from me, and I should focus more on the game in front of me right now.
After all, it seems that there is no one in the LPL region who is good at using this feature.
"Wow! It's delicious, give me another one!" Ye Bo came out of his contemplative state and suddenly savored the delicious taste in his mouth.
"No more, this is the only thing I stole for you. There were two little fat guys next door who were very strong in fighting power, thanks to me for snatching them from their mouths!" Jiejie shrugged.
Saint Spear Brother gave a thumbs up and even turned to the back and asked, "Director, how long will this lockdown last? Do we have enough supplies at the base? Will we have to eat a big meal at the beginning of the month and eat steamed buns at the end of the month?"
"Supplies? Sure!" Mingkai shouted back inexplicably loudly.
In EDG's remaining six games, their opponents are all in the Eastern Conference, and it will be difficult for them to even make the playoffs.
Among them, EDG only lost one small game when they were experimenting with a new lineup.
But throughout the whole process, we still maintained a high-energy and undefeated winning streak in big games!
In the small game where they lost, Ye Bo used the mid laner Fan Zi Ma, and originally wanted to experiment with the "four protecting one" bottom lane breakthrough system.
But in the end, it was proved that it was also not suitable for EDG's rhythm. In fact, because of the choice of AD core, the laning ability of the bottom lane itself was somewhat wasted.
In the end, he was completely eliminated from the tactical reserve by the coaching staff.
"Congratulations to EDG! They defeated TT 2-0! They won their th consecutive victory!"
"It's hard to imagine that this EDG team has gone through adjustments in the spring and early summer. If it weren't for the two slumps in the early summer, they might even have once again achieved the LPL summer undefeated record they created in the S6 season!"
"In three days, the LPL summer regular season will usher in the final battle. They will face BLG, who has regrouped and is currently ranked fifth in the standings!"
"Let us look forward to this much-anticipated final battle together!"
EDG eventually won 14 consecutive victories, and both the atmosphere within the team and the praise from the outside world had reached their peak.
And in the final battle, there was only one opponent left standing in their way.
BLG is also in good shape.
Although it only appears to be fifth in the standings, don’t forget that this BLG team was originally ranked outside the top ten!
The fact that they were able to dive into fifth place from the halfway point is proof that they have been in good form recently.
Ultimately, one reason is the strength of the lineup.
Except for jungler Weiwei, almost all members of this BLG team are first-line star players. Relying on their hard power alone, they are able to head-on defeat most mid- and late-stage teams.
The second reason is that BLG seems to have found a style that suits them, and Scout also has the opportunity to play his favorite magic core again. Everything seems to be developing towards a prosperous situation.
The season rankings will not change much, and the rankings of the teams entering the playoffs are almost certain.
But everyone was still extremely enthusiastic about the competition that was deliberately scheduled to be held on the last day!
On the eve of the competition, Weibo's hot searches dominated the list.
All the related topics have exploded in traffic, showing the popularity of the two teams!
The final battle of the regular season.
EDGvsBLG————coming soon!
No apologies today!
I will write more for the competition tomorrow QAQ
