Chapter 110 The Black Coal Turtle will bloom again! This is where the [Newbie Reward] comes in handy

Chapter 110 The Black Coal Turtle will bloom again! This is where the [Newbie Reward] comes in handy!

Ye Bo looked at the word "Victory" on the monitor, shook his head and sighed.

It’s over just as it’s beginning!
After the enhanced AP bonus, the AP Beer Man's equipment advantage is widened, and he can almost break through all the methods with one force.

You don't need any geometric barrels to kill people. Just prepare Q and then kill them with one blow. You can experience the pleasure of instant kill different from that of an assassin!

It's a pity that in this game, due to the presence of Kindred on the other side, Ye Bo usually has to save his R for cooperation in team battles, resulting in not having many opportunities to perform too many kills.

Viper, who was enjoying the killing spree next to him, asked with concern, "Master Ye, why are you not happy even though you won?"

"Oh, I didn't have much fun!" Jiejie said with a knowing smile, "The fat beer man only killed a few waves. I feel that if the opponent had held on for another ten minutes without that wave, Gragas could have killed at least ten more!"

After winning two games in a row, even Meiko was excited: "It was amazing. That wave that blew up Renata was really the key! If Master Ye hadn't reacted to that wave, it would have been hard to say."

Saint Spear also nodded repeatedly and teased Jiejie: ​​"In the jungle at the beginning, Zhao Lijie was almost beaten out of his trouser pocket by Kanavi! I can only say that it's a good thing that our Master Ye is strong enough. Even if Li Rookie came, he couldn't save you!"

Saint Spear almost blurted out the name, but luckily he stopped himself and just said a familiar ID.

Jie Jie responded naturally and joked: "Hey, don't say anything about Ao Qiang Ge. I feel that if TS had cooperated with Master Ye in that wave, they could have been killed!"

"Hmph, I will hold back a little next time!" Ye Bo said angrily, "But this time, I found some problems with us."

After joking around in a relaxed manner, everyone quickly became serious and started to review the situation seriously.

This game didn't seem to last long and went smoothly.

But in fact, several waves can be said to be quite dangerous!

Obviously EDG currently has a lot of problems, but perhaps it is because the players have enough hard power, perhaps it is because the opponent's ability is insufficient, or perhaps it is because of a miracle operation to turn it around.

This prevented these problems from erupting into a real crisis.

However, this does not mean that we should ignore these issues.

Ye Bo didn't want to wait until he actually lost the game before starting to reflect on the problems he discovered during the victory.

The earlier you discover it, the earlier you can improve it!
At the moment the crystal exploded, the official live broadcast room was filled with barrages of comments.

"Congratulations to EDG for leading 2-0!" Remember the excited expression: "EDG completely crushed JD.com with an extremely fierce offensive! We are only one step away from the final stage!"

"I think few people would have thought before this game officially started that JDG, who had defeated their opponent by a large margin in the early stages of the summer season, would be forced into a desperate situation so quickly in the semifinals!"

Miller was filled with emotion: "YE is really the key. Although EDG successfully designed the first-level team fight in this game, the opponent's jungler found a loophole right after that. There was even a tendency for the jungle to crack in the early stage, but YE's handling and operation found an opportunity and successfully saved the team from the disadvantage!"

"In this game, Viper also stood out in the bottom lane, and it can be said that he fully demonstrated the strategic significance of grabbing the hero Skateboard!"

Just as Wawa was about to answer the call, he heard the director's prompt through his headphones, and his eyebrows immediately raised.

"So after TES, the runner-up in the spring season, falls into the loser group, based on the current points situation of the major teams in the global finals, EDG only needs to win one more game to advance to the finals, and will become the first team in the LPL region to secure a place in the world championship in advance!"

"For them, they will have to try their best in the next game!"

Under a normal double-elimination system, the World Championship spots will not be determined so quickly.

But 2022 is a special year.

Historically, even if the performance of the five major regions in the Spring Season fluctuated slightly in the Summer Season, they would still be able to advance to the World Championship.

The most famous precedent is the KZ team in the S8 LCK, and the players in the team, such as Khan, Cuzz, Peanut, Bdd, etc., are all very familiar Class A criminals.
The biggest normal version changes are the season changes at the end of the year. Even if there are changes in the mid-term, they are only medium-sized changes and will not have a fundamental impact.

But S12 is the first time in history that a subversive change no less than a map update was made in the middle of the season!
Damn durability though.

This resulted in the spring and summer of S12 being almost two different games, with both commonly used heroes and tactical trends completely different.

Take RNG as an example.

The absolutely dominant king of the Spring Championship, MSI defeated T1's champion.

As a result, when it came to the summer season, not only did they barely make it into the playoffs, but now they have to wait for the bubble game so early!
The World Championship points have always placed more emphasis on the Summer Season. The Spring Championship only has 90 points, which is similar to the third place in the Summer Season.

This means that as long as they lose one more bubble match, RNG may miss out on S12.

The swap between top laner Bin and Breathing was one of the reasons, but the more important one was the durability patch, which directly destroyed the arm of the hard support King Ming, and indirectly affected Xiaohu in the Pokémon Ball hero pool {Capturing}.

Also affected are V5, which ranked first in the spring regular season, WBG, LNG and the original EDG.

JDG's spring season ranking is close to EDG.

Although they had a great run in the summer regular season, their regular season ranking was only a ticket to the playoffs and a resurrection armor, and did not provide any points for the world championship.

So it is equivalent to EDG losing several points competitors for no apparent reason. As long as they make it to the finals and guarantee the runner-up spot, the accumulated points will at least get them the second seed!
After the review, the EDG players also learned the news from the coaching staff who came in.

Except for Ye Bo, no one else was too excited.

Ye Bo was obviously visibly excited!

When he thought about the task released by the system after the "Novice Tutorial Phase", he felt that the scope was ridiculous when he first saw it.

This may even feel a bit hazy.

Before I knew it, the stage of my dreams and expectations, the incredible stairs, were only one step away from me!
of course.

It is just a guaranteed entry into the World Championship, which is still a long way from Ye Bo’s goal.

After all, the mission description at the time was: [Win the summer championship and advance to the world finals as the number one seed].

Ye Bo calmed himself down and decided to focus on the present and try to win the game.

Then collect the reward for this game.

There are still three options, and the categories are similar to the time when Scout and Uzi.

Special training retains the on-the-spot proficiency of both enemy and friendly heroes, and special training masters the {understanding level} knowledge of level 7 Gragas.

It’s just that the name of the last special training is a bit weird.

".Where did [Goryeo Shield] come from?"

Although Ye Bo was very curious about this nickname he had never heard of before, based on the literal meaning, he could roughly guess what it might be helpful for.

There is nothing to hesitate about, he can't use Gnar's or top laner's skills.

The latest Gragas at level 7 is still the most practical. He likes this hero very much, and it also fits well with EDG's Yasuo system.

As a steady stream of knowledge emerged from his mind, Ye Bo had instantly thought of several possible magical operation scenarios, and he suddenly felt itchy to try.
The room next to JDG.

Hongmi's expression was solemn.

Toothpaste squinted his eyes, half of his body slumped on the back of the chair, his elbow leaning to one side on the armrest of the gaming chair, and the smell of cigarettes coming from his body was obviously because he had recharged himself immediately after the game.

369 held his chin up with a dejected look on his face, and even his acne scars seemed to be filled with bitterness.

The people watching movies around me were equally depressed.

In the first two games, there was not a single way to win in the top, middle and bottom lanes. He didn't even know how to play the jungle!
Hongmi noticed that the team members were in a bad mental state, so he coughed lightly and began to adjust his mentality.

"Don't worry, EDG did play well in these two games, but they also revealed a lot of information to us!"

Having regained some spirit, Toothpaste was able to find joy in misery and joked to himself: "For example, I can't beat the opponent in the laning phase?"

Instead of comforting him, Hongmi nodded directly.

"Yes, our laning strength is not strong. We can even say that we are the last among the top four teams."

"There's no need to shy away from this. We never rely on laning to win the game. You know that."

Among the top four, BLG's Scout and Bin are both good at laning, TES's Left Hand is recognized as the "No. 1 domestic mid laner", plus JKL who also emphasizes laning.

As for EDG's Ye Bo and Viper, there is no need to say more.

On the other hand, among JDG's three Cs Hope+yagao+369, none of them left an impression on the public through "laning".

So there is nothing wrong with what Redmi said.

However, he immediately changed the subject, his tone sounding extremely firm: "But do we have no chance of winning? You are totally wrong!"

"It's better to recognize your own shortcomings earlier than to discover them after you go to the World Championships."

"Besides, we still have a few cards in our hand, and we haven't played our best yet."

Hongmi's voice seemed full of confidence.

After comforting him, he began to talk about his thoughts on the next game.

"After replacing their mid laner, EDG clearly knows where their strengths are. We cannot confront them head-on too early and must play to our strengths."

"So what is our advantage path?"

"Ueno!"

Hongmi encouraged the players: "Kanavi's decision-making and handling in the last game were very successful. This is exactly what we are best at."

"As long as we can keep the pace steady and slow down the game in the early stages, that's our comfort zone!"

Whether it was the last game where they were at a huge disadvantage but still managed to avoid any casualties against the top three, or the last wave where they found an opportunity to turn the tide, all of this proved this point.

When it comes to balanced teamfights and mid-term operations, JDG believes that it is no less capable than any team in the LPL!
The reason they were able to get the resurrection armor and first place in points in the regular season was because of their operation and team battle level!
"We've already come back from 2-0 down to win 3-0. In the next game, we'll be on the blue side."

"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2022 LPL Summer Winners Semifinals!"

Wawa saw EDG leading 2-0, and had the opportunity to leave work early, so he immediately spoke louder: "EDG currently has three match points, and victory is within reach. As long as they can seize the opportunity and hold their breath, they may be able to win this game!"

Miller tacitly sang the good cop song: "But we can't underestimate JDG. Although they seem to be stumbling in the playoffs compared to the regular season, they may also be hiding some tricks! After all, JDG was still using the tactics we are most familiar with until the last game."

"BP has started!"

"JDG was on the blue side in the third game. They still killed YE's Akali first, while EDG banned Monkey King!"

By the third game, both sides had a basic understanding of each other's preparations for this BO5.

Unless someone is preparing to come up with something completely new, the intention of most bans can be seen at a glance.

So, in the first ban, even though the red team had already banned Monkey King, JDG still banned Poppy themselves. It was obviously like they were hesitant about choosing a certain hero.

But there are many heroes who hate Poppy, and this alone is not enough to reveal the clues.

First round of ban position——

JDG: Akali, Poppy, Zoe
EDG: Monkey, Skateboard, Galio

"There isn't much change in the ban positions for both sides. JDG should openly grab Sylas first, no problem!" Toothpaste has no loopholes in its hero pool, so naturally it will be the same for Sylas.

Zoe was obviously good against Contesalas, and the same was true in the match against Ye Bo.

In that game, Ye Bo first ganked the top lane at level 3, and then cooperated with the support at level 6 to complete a magical kill by jumping over four walls, and then added a combo of two consecutive tower jumps, which created a snowball that was difficult for Zoe to recover from.

Except for Zoe, there is no hero among the popular heroes in the current version who can restrain Sylas.

TES base.

As the TES players are likely to face these two potential opponents, they are also studying the BP of both sides.

"Left Hand, what's so good about Sylas?" JKL looked at Kinght, who was also very good at Sylas.

"Uh, I don't know. It feels like my Silas can beat anything." He rolled up the cooked meat with his left hand.

White Crescent has benefited a lot from these two games: "If we play JD again, you can't choose heroes like Taliyah Tsar on your left hand anymore, you have to dry toothpaste!"

"I finally understand that we can only defeat Kanavi after the toothpaste dries up. It's too difficult to attack the jungle directly. There was a big problem with our previous thinking."

In the previous semi-final match between TES and JDG, they still implemented their old tactics.

In the first game, the Draven system of four encircling two at level three was successfully launched.

In the second game, Knight's Ahri suppressed Toothpaste Taliyah's rhythm in the laning phase, and still focused on the bottom lane rhythm. In the end, he was dragged to a bladder game of 51 minutes by the mid and jungle, but it also allowed JKL Zeli to achieve a historical record of 9W2 damage.

But starting from the third game, White Crescent mistakenly believed that it could win by relying on the bottom lane, and began to implement tactics unswervingly.

I chose Galio for Left Hand in one game and Taliyah for two games in a row.

As a result, Zuo Hand became invisible and JKL was caught as a pig by the opposing mid and jungle.

Until we were behind 2-0 and 3-0!
But at this time, EDG's successful experience gave them inspiration. In fact, the way to defeat JDG seems very simple!

Just let the bottom lane where you have the advantage fight on your own.

The key is to let the mid laner gain positional advantage and curb the rhythm of the core jungle area. JDG's situation will be like an idling engine and problems will arise!

Of course, Toothpaste is a first-line mid laner after all, and his style is extremely stable and sophisticated, so it is difficult for ordinary people to break through him.

But TES obviously thinks so.

Since Ye Bo can do it, then the left hand should be able to do it too!
"Oh shit, they're gonna bring out Leblanc right away!" JKL exclaimed as he looked at the live screen.

The red team will first send out the Luna combination on the first and second floors, because it is difficult for Sylas to steal skills in this combination. After all, it is also an early-stage strong attack combination that can be sent out relatively mindlessly.

It is obvious that EDG is prepared to carry out the offensive to the end in this BO5 and not expose more information.

The second and third floors of the blue side took out the ultimate defensive combination of Annie + Lulu to resist the pressure from the bottom lane.

When it came to the BP negotiation point on the third floor, when the jungler and top laner needed to go out first, Ye Bo took the initiative to offer to take the BP sacrifice position of going out first.

But it can’t be said that it’s easy for Leblanc to fight against Sylas, at most it’s a 50-50 match.

The reason is very simple. Leblanc is too fragile, and her core output skill W requires stepping on the face, so she will definitely be easily hit by Sylas's EW.

If both sides exchange skills, Ahri will definitely suffer a heavy loss.

But Ye Bo was very confident in himself. After two matches against Toothpaste, he had probably figured out the opponent's strength in the match.

"Enchantress!" I immediately shouted excitedly, "Finally here! YE's second signature Enchantress!"

"But although it is called the second signature, in fact, the BP rate of YeE's Leblanc is not that high. This is also because Leblanc's strength is limited in this version, and the durability still has a significant impact on him."

Miller also began to recall: "But don't forget, the first 'famous scene' played by YE was with LeBron!"

Wawa quickly followed suit: "Yes, yes, yes! This is an 'urban legend'. I still remember the enchantress in the '1 vs 9' match vividly."

Chu Jun in the second live broadcast room let out a howl and began to reminisce about the past.

"It's coming! The Coal Turtle will bloom again!"

"I've always wanted to see Master Ye play this, but I never get to see it!"

"Turtle, you don't know, back then this enchantress shattered the esports dreams of so many people in the youth training camp! When I met Master Ye in the youth training camp, I knew at a glance that this guy would definitely be an ultimate hunk in the future!"

Chu Jun kept silent about 369 and focused on praising Ye Bo.

Highlight a colossus of injustice.

"This mid lane matchup is really interesting. If you choose Leblanc, it's impossible for me to play the game peacefully with you. What's more, this is Master Ye's Leblanc!"

"This is a true urban legend!"

In the second round of bans, both sides targeted each other's top and jungle hero pools.

JDG: Xin Zhao, Ornn
EDG: Gnar, Wei

EDG chose Gragas as the swing first option, leaving the counter position to the jungler.

And came to the blue side.

JDG came up with a choice that no one expected.

"Belvius!?"

"JDG has also made a move. Kanavi is one of the few players in LPL who has used this hero. They are well prepared for this game!"

"Pig girl and Dabei, this combination seems to have a lot to say."

By the third set, everyone had pretty much figured out the bottom line.

If he wants to hide his tricks again, he will have to hide them until the World Championship—and not necessarily this year's World Championship.

And this choice was indeed somewhat beyond EDG's expectations.

They knew that Kanavi could play this hero, but the opponent was famous for his hero pool, and he only played two or three games in the entire summer season, so it didn't attract much attention.

But just think about it, the things that can be chosen at this moment on the edge of despair with a 0-2 deficit must not be simple!

"What should I choose for this thing?" Jiejie scratched his head.

Maokai was also in a dilemma: "If it doesn't work, I'll just continue with the Ruined King. It should be okay with Leblanc. Maybe 1v1 is not that easy to fight."

Ye Bo also frowned and muttered.

"They banned Xin Zhao but not the Ruined King. It felt like they put him there on purpose."

The opponent's lineup looks extremely solid, and there are also relatively unknown heroes about whom information is available.

But as EDG is on the red side, it seems that they can't do much to respond.

But at this moment, Ye Bo suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

What Ye Bo remembered were the two mission rewards he received when he completed the "Climbing the Ladder to the Top" mission for the first time.

[Hero Skill Quick-training Card]: (Quickly train a hero's "skills" to level 5 basic proficiency)
As a reward for a "newbie mission", its usefulness is actually not that great.

That's why Ye Bo has always thrown it in the corner.

After all, it doesn’t take too much time to train a level 5 hero by yourself, and the so-called "quick success" effect seems to be just auxiliary training for your understanding level, and the effect is really weak.

But now, Ye Bo seems to have found the use of this [Novice Task Reward]!

After quickly selecting the target, the fifth-level Belvis's understanding knowledge emerged in Ye Bo's consciousness.

Ye Bo quickly pondered in his mind, comparing the portraits of each jungle hero and combining them with the lineup.

"Choose the troll!"

In the last few seconds of BP selection, Meiko on the fifth floor heard the voice and without any hesitation, quickly found the troll's hero avatar in the search box.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

《Blue side: JDG丨丨Red side: EDG》

[Top order: Fury of the North vs. Gragas]

[Jungle: Void Queen vs. Troll King]

[Mid Single: Liberator vs. Leblanc

[Shooter: Goddess of War vs. Holy Spear Ranger]

[Assist: Fairy Witch vs Tidecaller Mermaid]

Redmi was a little puzzled when seeing this choice which was also not very popular.

Troll jungle is basically only played in competitions, and it is quite rare to see it in random games regardless of the position.

As for what relationship it has with the new hero, Belvis, no one knows.

Hongmi didn't take it too seriously.

Instead, when he saw the opponent's choice of the enchantress, he silently clenched his palms, and his palms were even slightly moist.

The biggest variable in this game is the middle lane, which is also the point they cannot avoid in BP.

If you just want to stabilize the laning phase, the easiest way is to choose a hero like Tsar Taliyah for Toothpaste. It has been verified in the field that this can be done.

But the price of this is that the mid laner's early-game combat effectiveness is too weak, making it extremely difficult to play in the jungle, which is something JDG cannot accept.

In addition to the shortage of ban positions, the best way for Sylas to deal with it is to grab the blue mana.

As for whether it can be effective, no one knows.

If the feasibility of Sylas being brought out first can be verified successfully, then JDG will have a backup plan when they come to the red side in the next game. Perhaps they will really have a chance to break the BP dilemma and fight for life again!
But if you can't.
Ye Bo simply moved his wrist and calmed down to face the crucial match in this semi-final.

Mao Kai was giving these instructions before he took off his headphones and walked out.

"Come on, everyone! They should be ready to take out their stuff, so we should try our best to win this round!"

"Everyone, try to limit mistakes and pay attention to Ye Bo's instructions."

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Summoner's Rift arrives again!
