Chapter 104: Rising in Fame! My Lord, Times Have Changed!

"What kind of lineup am I superior to?"

"Ah? Senna and Yasuo in the bottom lane? Come up and use your ultimate skills."

That night, all the EDG members watched the semi-final next door. After all, these might very well be their future opponents, and it was also a chance for them to study and learn from each other.

League of Legends versions change too frequently.

Not to mention the revamps every season, just a small change every month and a big change every three months is enough to cause trouble for the stadium.

Just like a small change that seems to be just a recovery item, it directly reversed the situation of the game, turning the originally emphasized lower half confrontation into an upper half confrontation.

Each version has new game points, and no one dares to say that he has found the "version answer".

The EDG team just sat down to watch the first game between T1 and DK.

As a result, the BP gave everyone a "surprise".

T1's lineup was average, but DK unexpectedly used the Yasuo + Senna bottom lane combination right from the start!

This game is crucial for both sides because there is no double elimination in LCK. The losing side in the semifinals can only go directly to the bubble match to compete for the third and fourth seeds.

Therefore, the lineup they selected could not be for scientific research, but must be the so-called "big move".

"Master Ye, what do you mean by this? What's the use of these two things in the bottom lane?" Jiejie was too lazy to think and began to ask his external brain out of habit.

Ye Bo was actually also confused.

However, he likes to use his brain, and after thinking and analyzing the lineups of both sides, he quickly guessed the general idea.

"I feel like this should also be a strong attack formation. Yasuo is not here to fight in the lane. This can be seen as a 'forced opening of the pendant'."

"Look at T1's lineup. The top and jungle Ornn and Troll are clearly two tools. It's the dual core of Cat, Tsar and Annie. It's a very standard LCK development and operation lineup."

"As for DK's lineup, Crocodile and Monkey King have clearly shown that they want to play in the early and mid-game. So Yasuo's goal should be to cooperate with Monkey King's strong start."

In recent times, Ye Bo's biggest growth and evolution is not in the hero pool and other aspects of the game.

But it’s BP’s understanding!
Maybe some people are born with this talent. Even if they don't train much, they can come up with various game ideas in their minds just by meditation training and watching videos.

Ye Bo is more or less like this. He is very good at putting himself in the other person's perspective and understanding things, and then drawing inferences from one instance to another.

of course.

The prerequisite for this kind of "talent" to be brought into play is that you have absolute say in the team.

Otherwise, some seemingly strange understandings and unusual commands during the game would be ignored by everyone.
And Ye Bo’s guess was indeed correct.

In fact, the hero Yasuo is the core point of DK's BP today.

Yasuo has many advantages. For example, a pair of attack speed shoes can quickly increase his basic combat power, and the damage of a complete set of equipment is very considerable.

The advantage of this "Power Period" alone is far greater than 90% of mages and ADC heroes.

Of course, the most important thing is actually Yasuo's ultimate skill and the strong coordination with the lineup.

Monkey King's ability to start a team fight in the mid-game is extremely strong. He can basically knock up more than 3 people by sneaking in stealthily. The disadvantage is that after the big move is changed to 2 stages, the knock-up control time and damage are weakened.

But if combined with Yasuo's ultimate, it can "extend the time of all knock-up attacks in the air by 1 second."

Then complete the control connection, and then use Monkey King’s second big move to knock the opponent away.

This means that Monkey King and Yasuo can implement an AOE version of 2.5 seconds of large-scale control!

The power of this duo alone is already terrifying, not to mention the two-way control of the mid-lane and the support, as well as the crocodile with explosive fighting ability in the early and mid-term.
"Turtle, now that you mention it, this lineup is awesome." Jiejie got excited after hearing this, and felt that it fits their current system very well.

"I can play Yasuo, but I'm not very good. I can practice if necessary," said Viper.

"Don't worry, I'm just guessing. Let's see the effect of their products first." Ye Bo waved his hand quickly, signaling everyone not to rush.

This is why it is important to watch the games in each region. It is not only to synchronize with the latest understanding at the moment, but also to allow the other side to try and error first.

Many routines may look great in theory, but when put into practice there will be many unexpected problems that need to be overcome.

This is obviously the first time DK has used this lineup in a game.

as predicted.

DK lost the first game by a large margin!
The problem occurred in the top lane, where Crocodile was killed by a level 2 gank at 38:, and also performed an outrageous operation of "flash hitting the wall", which led to a series of combos afterwards.

The crocodile's disadvantage directly affects the core point of this lineup.

DK's lineup relied on this big crocodile to deal damage in the early stage. After all, Yasuo is a bottom lane AD position developer. His level and last hits are inherently behind those of the single lane, and his combat effectiveness is only strong when compared with that of the ADC.

In this game, Oner was like being connected to the Shurima network. He played a troll but showed extremely spiritual ganking, winning 8-3 in 0 minutes and directly killing all opponents in the crucial canyon group!

It's completely different from his performance in the summer regular season!
Thanks to the difference in equipment, he managed to take three big moves from the opponent's combo and survived with a sliver of health left!

"It seems that the problem with this combination is that its combat effectiveness is somewhat lacking when the game goes badly." Ye Bo analyzed silently in his mind.

At the same time, I also have some vague ideas.

In the first game, DK's substitute top laner Burdol played poorly, with almost every combo skill falling just short of damage, which ultimately led to the end of the game.

"Didn't Niuguli go back to DK? Why isn't he playing?" Meiko casually asked while waiting for the break.

"Looks like he's dead. He barely played in the entire playoffs." Saint Spear was obviously more concerned about the news of his fellow top laner.

The second game starts soon.

Obviously, since Ye Bo can see the combination skills of the opponent's lineup at a glance, there must be people in the T1 team who can see it.

So they chose to snatch the monkey in the second game.

But DK still implemented the aggressive strategy and chose the combination of Crocodile + Leblanc + Draven, just to break through your defense line.

But, T1's defense is too strong.

Compared to BLG's tortoise shell that is like "leaking air on all sides".

T1 is simply a one-piece alloy steel shield. All members are highly disciplined and there is no chance of any chance at all!
The two sides fought until 10 minutes without getting the first kill. Although DK successfully took the canyon, they were traded for the dragon by the opponent.

And because the troops stationed by the Tsar in the middle lane have not been pushed forward, the health of the defense tower is too healthy, and the canyon can only hit two layers of plating, and the benefit is even negative.

At this moment, Jiejie suddenly yelled in shock: "Oh my god, look! Teacher Fei is also secretly learning from La!"

Everyone took a closer look.

The Tsar chose Eternal Frost as his first piece of armor.

Since the synthesis routes of the three mythical equipment are very similar, all of them use the lost Runtu, and no one noticed it before.

Li Xianghe actually had this idea on impulse.

In this game, although T1's top laner Aatrox and bottom laner Skateboards were at a disadvantage in the laning phase, they both had the opportunity to actively gank.

In the last game, the Tsar had to buy a crown to deal with the forced opening, but in this game, maybe he can really try the "Gank feature" of the Everfrost Tsar.

It turned out to be exactly as he thought.

This tactic is unique in certain games!

"Faker's Tsar is here again! Draven has died three times in a row, deokdam, why are you still flashing forward? Move the grave!"

"I've never seen a Tsar like this before! He is truly the strongest Tsar user in our LCK. Only he can achieve such an effect!"

In the last wave, Xu Xiu wanted to cross the wall to consume the enemy's energy before the battle and give full play to the heroic characteristics of Yao Ji.

Under normal circumstances, the Tsar is completely helpless, after all, the two stages of Leblanc's W are too mobile.

But Li Xianghe also knows Yao Ji.

He knew that during the W process, Ahri could not cancel or perform any operations.

The Tsar predicted and cast Eternal Frost half a step ahead. Although Xu Xiu had reacted, his second part of W had already been cast and could not be canceled.

The enchantress was like she had bumped into Yongshuang's snow pillar and was instantly frozen in place!
"Enchantress was killed instantly! F~a~k~e~r~ah!"

LCK's famous host, Roaring Emperor, roared with his signature shout.

The instant the Ahri was killed, the team battle was naturally doomed.

"T1 is quite strong this year." Maokai's tone seemed a little solemn.

As EDG's coach, he is really afraid of T1.

Although in the group stage of S11 last year, EDG had successfully broken its "six-year losing streak" and tied the opponent 1-1 in the group stage.

But that was only 1-1, and the current record is still 1 win and 7 losses.

And as we all know, EDG was at its peak last year, while T1's status last year was definitely not that good compared to itself.
Ye Bo was very happy!
Seeing my strategy being used by other professional players is not only a recognition of my research, but also helps me improve my understanding of this gameplay.

For example, from this game, he once again drew inferences from it.

Perhaps, not only the Tsar, but also some heroes can be used to change to Everfrost to achieve miraculous effects.
In the third game, T1 took out their "ultimate move", probably wanting to end the game.

"Nira and Sejuani in the bottom lane!?" Meiko looked surprised.

"It seems like someone really understands this. Can Nyla instantly stack a passive skill on Sejuani?"

Viper shook his head in confusion.

Viper has used countless "strange" bottom lane heroes in his career, including but not limited to Teemo AD, Noxus AD, Gangplank AD, Pike AD, and Jayce AD.
But it was just this thing that he just couldn't figure out how to play!
Nyla is also a new hero that just debuted not long ago. People in all major regions are using her, but the effect is not very good, so no one cares about her.

DK didn't dare to release the Tsar again, so they chose to grab the Tsar and then take out Yasuo.

But this time, it's Yasuo in the middle, Tsar on the top, and Galio + Senna on the bottom lane!

It’s all scientific research!

Everyone was surprised, except Ye Bo, who had a hint of "surprise" in his eyes.

Because this is almost exactly what he thought before!

After this adjustment, the lineup was extremely abstract, but DK successfully achieved the desired effect.

It was just the same “idea of ​​problem solving” that popped into Ye Bo’s mind after watching the first show.

The reason for the loss in the first game was that after Crocodile was at a disadvantage, the damage of Monkey King + Yasuo in the bottom lane was insufficient to achieve the ideal effect of "combo kill instantly".

However, Monkey King’s development in the jungle cannot be improved steadily, and it seems difficult to influence the ADC choice in the bottom lane in the early stage.

So how can we change this drawback?
After thinking about it, Ye Bo thought that Yasuo should be moved to the mid lane, using the fact that Yasuo is ahead of most heroes in the middle lane in the power-generating period as a fulcrum. Then consider selecting the "Alien bottom lane"!
Anyway, the formula for this combo is:
"Yasuo + big knock-back group control + the third stage of supplementary control + instant damage" = a nuclear bomb in a team battle with a strong attack rhythm!
If you open your mind, the heroes that can cooperate are not limited to Monkey King.

Frankly speaking, Ye Bo had never included Yasuo in his training list before. After all, this hero was considered a bit "funny" in people's inherent perception, and there always seemed to be better choices.

But now he has changed his mind.

The game came to the fourth round.

T1 returned to the blue side, snatched the Azar for Faker, and directly sent Yasuo to the ban position. Apparently they also found that there was something wrong with DK's Yasuo in this game.

The excitement of BO5 lies in the fact that both sides have to make quick adjustments on the field and constantly counter each other's moves until one side is exhausted or the other side has run out of tricks.

In the fourth game, both sides tacitly chose to "return to basics" and finally selected two lineups that were very "conventional" for this game.

However, this selection is a regular lineup.

LCK started the region’s classic Shakespearean style.

The game lasted a full 30 minutes, and only 3 kills were made!
It made the EDG players feel sleepy.

Both sides are extremely cautious. Anyway, if you don't reveal any flaws, I would rather not do it. Let's just be honest with each other.

"Wait a minute, Canyon seems to be unable to hold back! Flash and use his ultimate to lock the opponent's head!"

"It's over! Feifei, give me a chance!"

"No, this location looks familiar."

Just as the two sides were fighting for the Baron, the EDG players, from a bird's eye view, saw Canyon's Wei touching the F6 wall and preparing to attack with a charged Q blocking the vision, when they suddenly realized something was wrong.

There is nothing wrong with the Tsar taking the middle lane. Originally, neither side dared to attack the big dragon and just wanted to pull it, and the Tsar also had the crown to save his life.

But it’s mainly Faker’s position, which looks very dangerous.

Who would dare to walk along the path outside the F6 gate of others instead of going through the river after leading the line?

If you take the dark side road instead of the main road, aren't you seeking death?

This is normally the case.

But everyone in EDG suddenly felt that this position was familiar - especially Meiko who was there at the scene at that time.

DK had no reason to miss this opportunity. Canyon decisively charged up and started with a wall without vision, then locked the opponent with a flash!
At the same time, Xu Xiu and Ryze synchronized tacitly and cast a return portal in the direction of the river, leaving Faker with no way to escape!
Talk about it.

Of course DK also watched yesterday's LPL game, but only noticed the Everfrost Tsar, and like Faker at the beginning, did not give it too high an evaluation or attention.

And like everyone else in T1, they didn't notice the weirdness of the Tsar's last wave.

After all, the outcome would be the same whether there was that wave or not, and it is completely different from the current situation.

Xu Xiu has not played Tsar very often. He prefers and is good at skill-based mages. Tsar, a continuous output mage who needs to walk A, can only be regarded as professional proficiency.

"The Tsar is going to be fired! What the hell is he wearing!!"

"The Tsar flew straight all the way and brought Wei to the other side of the wall! What the hell is going on!"

"Vi went deep into the enemy camp, and Ryze and his teammates drove to the ground but had no target to hit. It seemed that they had sent themselves to the enemy's face. Now T1 is going to counter-attack!"

“DK Totally Pizza!”

The ups and downs of the team battle with a huge contrast at the beginning and the end made the LCK commentators blush.

T1 took advantage of the situation and counterattacked, ending this hypnotic bladder game in a bizarre way with a score of 3 to 1!
"Damn, Feifei must have been learning from Master Ye by watching his video!" Jiejie said jokingly.

"Indeed, they are exactly the same." Saint Spear Brother also smiled and followed suit.

"Forget the positions, even the operations are exactly the same. I thought I was watching a replay of our game." Meiko was shocked.

Ye Bo chuckled but didn't explain.

He did not mention what happened in the morning to his teammates, as he felt there was no need to. In his opinion, this was just a normal technical exchange between the two sides.

But of course he was very happy in his heart.

Ye Bo was naturally not surprised that Faker was able to master this skill on the same day. After all, he knew very well that his opponent's proficiency in Tsar was even higher than his own, and the only thing missing was the method of interpreting the mechanism.

Of course, the operation itself is still quite difficult.

As long as they mastered the key points and pressed them, it wasn't a difficult task for them with their level of proficiency.

"Come on, let's talk about this game. I think their lineups today are really good."

Maokai turned around and closed the live broadcast screen, and immediately began to review the BO5.

There is no doubt that this semi-final BO5 is a very exciting and meaningful game.

Not only does it allow them to better understand the current situation of the two teams, but there is also a lot to learn from the fresh understandings and routine designs that appear.

In the competition field, people are always "stealing" from each other.

If there is a real ultimate move, both sides will naturally save it for the most crucial game.

The review took nearly an hour to complete.

Today is EDG's day off, and after the disbandment everyone started looking for their own entertainment activities.

Ye Bo started a Rank match, wanting to test his control over Yasuo, a character he hadn't played for years.
But the matching queue has not yet been successful.

Jiejie at the back hurriedly ran back to the training room holding his cell phone, shouting as he ran.

"Wow, Master Ye, you are popular again!"

"You're really good at hiding it. You even have a little secret with your buddies!"

Ye Bo turned to look at him with a puzzled look on his face: "What the hell?"

Jie Jie handed him the phone and let him look at it himself.

Ye Bo just guessed what it meant just by seeing the title.

The above content is T1’s post-match interview after the next game ended.

There was no lockdown on the LCK side, and it was just a normal post-match interview session. The person being interviewed was Lee Sang-hyuk, who won two MVPs.

The host asked many questions, and the most concerned ones were naturally the several key decisions in the second and fourth games.

"As for the Everfrost Tsar, it will be an equipment suitable for some situations, but it will not be a universal equipment."

Regarding Yongshuang, he still expressed understanding, nothing has changed.

But now we come to the last wave of questions in the fourth game.

Compared to Ye Bo's seemingly insignificant effect, everyone truly witnessed the effect of that skill in this team battle which was almost the final word.

At that time, Li Xianghe did not conceal his actions. He placed two sand soldiers on the river bank in advance, and the third sand soldier stood up the moment he saw Wei appear.

The position range of the two sand soldiers is not obvious yet.

But for the third sand soldier who was "pushed out", the difference in distance was too obvious.

This is also a safeguard taken by Li Xianghe to ensure the success rate.

After all, he had just mastered it, and in the final analysis, his operating style was fundamentally different from Ye Bo's.
All the LCK commentators went a little crazy when they watched the game again, thinking that the other team had discovered some amazing new trick.

But on this question, Lee Sang Hyuk just told the truth.

“This is indeed a new trick of the Tsar, but it was discovered by another player. I have discussed the experience of the Tsar with this player before.”

The excited LCK audience was a little disappointed, but quickly chose to ignore this passage.

What is stealing?
What our Faker did, can it be called stealing!
Although Lee Sang-hyuk did not say the name.

But once this speculation spread to the Internet at home and abroad, naturally countless Sherlock Holmes came up with reasoning solutions.

Major domestic forums such as Tieba and Hupu exploded rapidly.

[It must be Master Ye! Look at the picture, the operation was exactly the same as yesterday! ]

【League of Legends! Love comes from porcelain, this Azir is so cool, it makes my tie upside down! 】

[Oh no, buddy, you really want to teach the Tsar how to play Tsar? What's the value of this! ]

【Master! My crazy master! 】

[@Xiaofei, if you don’t behave yourself, I will take away your title of junior fellow student! ]

[I was wondering how Master Ye's Tsar made such a rapid progress. Are you someone you know very well? ]

Everyone went from initial speculation to confirmation and then to carnival.

There is no need to say much about Lee Sang-hyeok's influence in the league. He has many fans and attention not only in LCK and LPL, but also in league circles in other regions around the world.

It's like a stone that stirs up a thousand ripples.

For a while, even though they hadn't even entered the World Championship, the ID YE had already become famous in the league.
The next day.

The second semi-final match of LPL will start at a staggered time.

JDG and TES fought for five games, and the EDG team naturally watched the entire game, studying and preparing for these two potential opponents in the upcoming schedule.

And this game also kept turning around again and again.

There are countless famous scenes in the game, including the Ze Li show of "Shui Jiuwan", but also the same competition of "Fan Shan Beisuo"
Of course, the most important thing is: TES successfully contributed the first "come back from 2-0 down" in the summer season!
Like EDG, JDG has not played a game for a long time since the end of the regular season. The version has also undergone many changes compared to the regular season, which caused some discomfort.

This may also be the reason why they lost the first two games.

But since JDG was able to get the first place in the summer regular season, it must have its own unique features.

At the beginning of the third game, JDG adjusted its tactics in time, continuously took out wonderful designs and lineup reserves, and seized the weaknesses of TES to launch a fierce counterattack. The contributions of both sides were no less than the wonderful game of LCK next door yesterday!

In the end, he won three sets in a row and successfully completed the feat on the field!

of course.

The EDG team in front of the screen also gained a lot today.
The end of this highly anticipated game has finally put some of the heat on the "Tsar" that had been going on since yesterday to abate.

[You all like playing Tsar? Is it half as good as playing Toothpaste? ]

【The 69 horse is only humiliated by the hands of the gambling man, and dies in the tug of war. It is not called 999. Then he met Hongmi and said, "There is no 9 in the world!" Alas! Is there really no 9? It is because he really does not know 9! 】

[This day when I speak with the most confidence! 9 damage! TES lost but my brother didn’t! Mutual destruction! ]

[TES did it on purpose. Whoever wins will have to play EDG first. Then they will have to play another game in the loser group. If they go so early in the morning, they might get beaten 0-6! ]

[Laugh, EDG was just lucky to draw BLG. JDG and TES were in a double-king showdown in the lower half of the group. Wouldn't BLG be beaten 3-0 on the sidelines? ]

[Let’s be honest, coming back from 2-0 down to 3-0 is much harder than 3-0 down, so don’t be too quick to open the champagne.]

【Those who believe in EDG are all young viewers. The more you believe in this team, the more likely they are to give you a big blow. The more you think they are doomed, hey, they win the championship! 】

[Do you still think this is the old EDG? Sir, times have changed! ]

A week of preparation passed in the blink of an eye, and it was August 8th.

The LPL winner group semi-finals are in full swing!
