Chapter 114 I think Ip Man is really awesome! The battle between the new king and the old emperor!
Chapter 114 I think Ip Man is really awesome! The battle between the new king and the old emperor!
After finishing the post-match interview, everyone waved goodbye to the audience commentators and went to the big restaurant downstairs to enjoy a meal.
Ye Bo took a spoonful of the sweet tomato scrambled eggs and rice, and added some soy sauce to season it.
The local cuisine of Shanghai requires sugar to be added to everything, which is a bit unusual for Ye Bo.
"This braised fish is so delicious today!" Jiejie picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and said, "This fat melts in your mouth!"
Ye Bo took a bite of the sweet braised pork, which tasted like jelly and was indeed delicious.
But he still missed his mother's home-cooked braised pork.
Professional players need to stay in the base most of the year except during the off-season.
This was also Ye Bo’s first time traveling far away, so he couldn’t help feeling a little homesick from time to time.
"Hey, hey, turn on the TV, it seems their game is today!" Saint Spear Brother, who usually uses tiles to relieve stress, said.
Everyone was originally preparing to find some electronic pickled mustard to go with their meal, and Ye Bo was also preparing to browse the Tieba forum for some fun, but now they all turned to look at the big screen.
The World Championship just started today, and the first EDG opening game will be played at 8 pm.
If they hadn't gotten off work three times so quickly today, they might not have been able to catch up.
Ye Bo watched Zheng Yongkang, who used to come here for free meals every day, appear on the screen. The confident baby-faced man walked out of the contestant channel, waving his hands high and greeting people in all directions enthusiastically, as if he was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by cameras under the spotlight.
In fact, Ye Bo has always longed for this kind of scene.
"Which country are they fighting in?" Ye Bo asked Saint Spear Brother beside him.
"I have actually forgotten which country Istanbul Global Competition is held in," Saint Spear, who is not very good at geography, only remembered the name and did not have a deep impression of the country of this city.
"The name of their competition is so weird. If our S11 was called "Reykjavik World Finals", who would know where it was held~"
"That's great. I haven't been abroad yet."
Ye Bo knew that S12 would be held in the beautiful country, but he forgot which city it was. Having never been abroad, he had no idea.
He continued talking about this topic with great interest.
"So guys, what does it feel like to play in the Worlds? Is it really that different from playing in the league?"
The people around me were all very experienced, and their expressions varied when they heard this question.
But they all nodded affirmatively.
Ye Bo asked like a curious baby: "Is it because there are so many people, or is there some other feeling?"
Jiejie was talking about chicken wings incoherently: "It's okay if there are a lot of people, because before the semi-finals, most of the competition venues are actually not much different from our summer finals venues, or even smaller. It will only be grander after the semi-finals!"
"My feeling is that you can hear your ID and team name being shouted in many different languages at the same time, and even the cheers of fans in various languages. It's very exciting to hear them." Meiko expressed her feelings.
"For me, it's mainly about being able to play against people from other regions. This should be the most important feature of the World Championship." Viper said simply.
Saint Spear Brother was more touched when talking about this topic: "It seems that I am the easiest one."
"In fact, my professional dream before was to enter the World Championship, which is the highest level of competition! Even if you only go to the first round, it is the dream of many players throughout their entire careers."
Saint Spear made his debut in 14 and played for the Snake team for 7 years without ever entering the world championship.
It wasn't until 21 that he transferred to EDG and made it to the World Championship for the first time, and he won the championship directly!
He is definitely the person who can best understand Ye Bo's curiosity and anticipation about the World Championship.
After listening to his teammates, Ye Bo also had a lot of feelings.
When I was a spectator before, I always seemed to have the illusion that "this game only has the S game."
But now that I have become a professional player, I know that it is not easy to just enter the world championship. It requires a whole year of challenges and accumulation in spring and summer, and finally defeating the vast majority of people to have the opportunity to step onto that stage.
For example, the "wild card teams" that seem insignificant in the eyes of many people may actually be the absolute overlords of their own regions before coming to the World Championship!
This is also the charm of the World Championship.
How you perform in your region has nothing to do with how you perform in the World Championship. There are too many examples of this in history.
"Oh, Kang Kang!"
"It's over. How can a Half-Armored Guard push forward like this? No one can handle a 1v4 situation!"
"Hey, don't mention Brother Saint Spear. Suddenly I feel that this guy is a bit like our Master Ye. They both like to do extreme operations. But they are not as stable as our Master Ye!"
It seemed like everyone in EDG had played the game before and were chatting enthusiastically about it.
Although Ye Bo had never played this game before and didn't understand the professional terms used by everyone, he still enjoyed watching it.
The difference between FPS games and Moba games is reflected.
If you have never played Moba games before, it will definitely seem a bit confusing, especially when you encounter some operational gameplay, you may not understand what the people in it are doing at all.
FPS shooting games are different. It's very obvious who is the one who shoots in the head and who is the one who is killed in an instant. The most you may be confused about the tactics and props.
But in the end, EDG failed to win the opening game and lost 1-2.
"What a pity," Saint Spear said with regret, "It seems that the chances of qualifying are low."
"Huh? They won't be able to qualify if they lose one game?" Ye Bo asked confusedly.
"They lost to PRX in this game and are now a weak Asia-Pacific team in Singapore. It is basically impossible for them to win the next game against TL in North America."
Saint Spear explained to him: "This game is now dominated by Europe and North America. The European and American regions are almost equivalent to our League of Legends' Chinese and Korean regions. Others can be regarded as wild cards, including us."
"Kankang and his team want to beat TL. The difficulty is a bit like, uh, GAM can beat TES. You can understand how difficult it is."
Saint Spear Brother randomly thought of the wild card team that he was most familiar with.
"Holy crap! Is the gap that big?" Ye Bo was very surprised.
Because he didn't pay attention to this game, but seeing Kang Kang's confident state before the game, he thought their strength should be similar.
I didn’t expect the gap to be so big!
"But actually, this should be very similar to our League of Legends, right? This should be equivalent to the S1 or S2 season? It's normal for Europe and the United States to be strong~"
"In a few years, our CNFPS will definitely be able to stand up!"
The others didn't smile too seriously.
After all, everyone who knows about the CNFPS project knows that it is very difficult.
After the game, Ye Bo took out his cell phone and sent Kang Kang a comforting cat head emoticon, trying to encourage him.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be unaffected at all.
Kang: [Master Ye, you are awesome! I watched your match before I went on stage. You are so awesome! I am waiting for you to win the final!]
Kang: [It’s a pity that we were just a little short in this game, but it’s okay, we still have a chance if we win the next game! ]
Ye: [I think so too! We can both do it, come on! ]
Kang: [Then definitely go ahead! Come on, come on! ]
The two chicken blood monsters gave each other a chicken blood shot.
Ye Bo slid out of the chat interface, and then found the group chat of "A Loving Family (3)" at the top.
He thought about it and decided to @ mom first.
Bo: [@Mom, I made it to the finals! I’m awesome! ]
English: [Bull! 】
English: [(Flowers bloom and wealth #You are awesome) emoticon pack]
Bo: [Are you going to the finals in a few days? If you come, I will get you a ticket. There are very few tickets this time, so it should be difficult to buy 0.0]
Ying: [Yes! Mom will definitely go! ]
English: [(花开富贵#Thank you) emoticon pack]
Ye Bo couldn't help but smile when he saw his mother's middle-aged expression.
He hesitated for a moment and then @ed another person in the group.
【Is Dad coming? 】
After waiting for a while, the other party answered in the group.
[I am busy with work and may not be free]
To be honest, Ye Bo actually guessed this answer, and pretended to be nonchalant and replied: [Oh, there is no ticket anyway, so I won’t prepare one for you]
He knew that his father actually never approved of him playing professionally, and even though he was making money now, his mind had not changed much.
Moreover, Ye Xiong has no experience with games at all. The games he knows most about are probably Minesweeper and Connect the Dots. If he really lets the other party come, it would probably be meaningless to just sit there and watch.
Anyway, that’s what Ye Bo told himself.
I picked up a piece of sweet barbecued pork and put it in my mouth and chewed it hard, hoping to use the pork fiber to soothe my mood.
However, the meat was stewed too tender, and the effect was obviously average.
In the end, Ye Bo had no choice but to open the forum and go to the toilet to relieve himself.
The familiar rating post came into view on the homepage, and Ye Bo clicked it out of habit.
{2022LPL winner group semi-final EDG 3:0 JDG scoring post (other scoring posts deleted)}
Since there are actually no particularly big "traffic players" in this JDG team, so this time according to {popularity ranking}, it is actually their turn to top the list!
There are more than a thousand replies in his main post alone.
[God, God among gods! New God among gods! Full of joy! ]
[No, buddy, there are six games in the playoffs, and you have five MVPs? You got them all!]
[Hehe, if it weren't for that water ghost robot, there should be six! ]
[Fuck, this enchantress is just abusing herself, she really squeezed out the toothpaste and brushed it like toothpaste]
[Yagao: I really am blind and ignorant, and I neglected Master Ye's coming to teach me boxing! ]
[Hello, hello? I heard that Master Ye has once again become popular? ] [Heizi: Heizi, speak up! ]
[Absolutely a key player! The Xiaodai I met in the ranking game was just like this! ]
Ye Bo read the comments about himself with satisfaction.
When I glanced down, I found that it was not a post from my opponent Yagao, but a post from 369.
[369? 258! Take off the hood! I know it's you!]
[The person standing in front of you now is: the one who has won 5 top kills in three BO0 matches, has been invisible for three matches, and is always thinking about your super-strong Jesnar who broke through the wall! ]
[You all know how to play tanky when playing against TES, so why do you dare to play Jesnar when playing against Saint Spear? Are you implying that my Saint Spear is not as good as Da Huang in laning? What kind of champion are you! ]
【Dog paddling Nar's human body.JPG】
[You know what? The most human-like scene was the one at the end when you played with the pig. Was it because you played with the main body, or are you really just a meat player? ]
Ye Bo didn't expect 369 to attract so much firepower. After all, based on the performance in the game, the middle and lower levels should bear most of the firepower.
But then I thought about it.
Ever since the old IG disbanded, apart from EDG and BLG which gained a sense of presence this year thanks to Uzi's comeback, TES is clearly the team with the most traffic.
In the semi-finals of the lower half, JDG came back from 2-0 down to beat TES 3-0. At that time, JDG fans gave TES fans a lot of cold shoulder, so naturally they hold a grudge against them.
It is normal for 369, as a "TES rebel", to receive the main fire.
Next up is the Yagao section.
Netizens’ attack power today was not weak, and they obviously believed that the biggest reason for JDG’s loss in these three games was the mid lane.
[You are such a loser. You still say that 369 can only play meat. I think you can only play Tsar! The others can only mess around! ]
[The only thing that can kill you is time, not your old age————because time is a butcher knife! ]
[The two heroes of Pingxiang? My opinion is that they are not as good as the Taishou's! ]
[To be honest, it was because there was someone in TES who was good at giving up. Otherwise, how could they have come back from 2-0 down to win 3-0? We would have lost to you guys a long time ago! ]
[Next year, if TES and JDG can swap mid laners, you can see whether Pi Gao will be treated as Meng Huo or not! ]
The comment trend is basically centered around Zuo Shou, and he is hardly even mentioned.
These two have been compared since their debut. This year, with EDG in poor form, TES and JDG were also considered the two most promising teams in LPL and were discussed together for a whole year.
"Director, what are you doing? If you don't come soon, you'll have to eat leftovers~" Ye Bo turned around and asked Xiang Mingkai enthusiastically.
Mingkai, who was frantically poking at his phone, rolled his eyes at him.
"I got the tickets for you. VIP row. You want two, right?"
"Send me your address and I'll have someone send it to your home."
Ye Bo paused, then nodded.
"Yes, two."
After calling Mingkai's home address, Ye Bo prepared to eat a few more bites and slid back to the main interface.
A new post caught his attention.
[Rational analysis, what is the strength of EDG's new mid laner YE?]
There are a few gif pictures on the first floor of the post.
The first one is Yongen’s back to ER with Wind Flash.
The second one is Pike's ghostly backslash in a gray Z shape.
The third one is Silas's miracle blitz that crosses four walls.
The fourth one is Syndra's point control adjustment for T's weak players to retreat.
[From a rational analysis, can we say that someone who has created so many famous scenes in one season is the greatest genius in the history of LPL?]
The comments below were initially serious analyses.
"I'm an old fan of EDG. We all thought it was over in the spring of this year. They were playing snakes in the first two games of the summer season, and even OMG lost! But just when I thought they were finished, the master appeared!"
"There's really not much to say after this fight. We've already beaten them all. What else do you want? You're not really counting on Little Cream to come in as the C!"
"To be honest, this is a mid laner that I really like right now. Such a strong domestic mid laner is really rare. If he can keep up his form, his potential will be limitless! I'm already looking forward to his performance in the World Championship!"
The first few floors were normal.
But as there were more floors, the conversation quickly went off track.
"I suggest you don't be too optimistic. What's the point of being fierce in the internal war if you haven't proven yourself in the S game? Wasn't EDG's internal war fierce in the past few years? On the contrary, they were fiercer when the internal war was not that fierce!"
"And he didn't beat them all, and he didn't kill Zuo Shou either. Didn't he rely on his brother to help him win against TES? How did he get first place?"
"These bitches are like this. They brag about being first even though they haven't even won a championship. I'm waiting for them to boomerang and get slapped in the face!"
One of the posts that received a lot of likes made some boastful remarks that seemed very reasonable.
[I have to admit that YE is really good, but in the final analysis, his style is actually to rely on the hard power of the laning phase, and then use his own advantages to break through the surface. But you have to know that the laning phase in the middle of the LPL is not strong at all, so he can be so successful]
[This tactic is only effective in a weak mid lane environment like LPL]
[This is not what the host said, but what the current DRX mid laner and former BLG mid laner Zeka said in an interview - (video link)]
Attached below is a link to an interview with Zeka at the end of the spring season.
There are two issues that are obviously more controversial.
"Q: You are about to complete a season in LCK. Now that you are back in LCK, what do you think are the differences between LCK and LPL?"
Zeka: "LPL laning is not strong, or it can be said that it is just a casual laning, just want to push the lane quickly, then go to the sideline to cross the tower, or invade the jungle to fight."
"In LCK, rather than quickly snowballing in the early stages, they tend to slowly and meticulously laning and slowly operating."
"In addition to these, there is a more obvious difference. Although there are many teams in LPL, the difference between strong and weak teams is very obvious. However, the 10 teams in LCK are generally very strong, especially the laning is more rigorous and more complicated."
Maybe Zeka didn't mean that originally, but when it was cut out like this, it looked a little off.
It feels like saying: "LPL's midlaners are not good at laning, they don't care about details at all, they just rush..."
The author's meaning is very clear. He just wants to say that the laning strength in LPL is not high, so Ye Bo can play like this.
However, many people refuted the comments below.
[This is so confusing. Let me give you an example of someone who was kicked out of a marginal LPL team. If you don’t know, you might think he is really good at playing.]
[Queshi is in trouble. He and Dai Laowu are about to fail to enter the S game. I think the bubble game is tough! ]
[The author of this post is just a cloud dog. Those who say Master Ye is only good at laning can only say that he has not watched the game. Hasn't Tsar Galio or Fan Ma played before? No C, right? ]
[I can only say that if you have the guts, don’t delete the post. Wait until I use my Luoyang shovel to dig out the boomerang for you and see if your pig face gets swollen! ]
[I haven’t said this for a long time. Believe first, then believe! Master Ye UPUP! ]
Ye Bo looked at the numerous comments supporting him in the reply post below and just grinned foolishly.
From this perspective, watching stranger netizens speak gives you a different feeling.
He silently clicked the account switch in the upper right corner.
After a while, a new reply appeared in the reply post below.
【Wuhu Big Melon: I think Ip Man is really amazing! 】
...........
The next day, the LCK finals started.
However, this finals was definitely an upset. No one expected that T1, which was highly expected before the game, would be crushed by GEN.G with an absolute man-machine advantage and won directly with a score of -!
Countless people were shocked!
"Chov~~~~~~~yyyyyy!" The Roaring Emperor shouted with a long tail.
"Chovy is such a laning wizard, his laning can only be described as art! The three MVPs are definitely the most meritorious person in the finals......"
"Congratulations to GEN.G for becoming the LCK Summer Champions! As the No. 1 seed, they represent the LCK region and advance to the S League!"
The most noteworthy thing about this final was undoubtedly that Faker chose Crocodile as the mid laner in one game and Ahri as the mid laner in another game. Both games emphasized the rogue counter selection, but he was suppressed by Chovy in both games.
This also made people once again sigh and discuss the strength of LCK and GEN.G this year.
And the next day, the LPL loser group semi-finals started as scheduled.
In the second BO5 match between TES and JDG, the team successfully found experience and inspiration through the game against EDG and changed the tactical focus of the system.
The left hand seemed to have awakened and transformed into "Brave Hand", choosing five carry heroes in a row from Leblanc to Sylas!
The score was 2-3 in the semi-finals, and they successfully took revenge in this game.
In the end, TES won 3 to 2!
“Congratulations to TES! They seem to have evolved after going through multiple BO5s, and used a new tactic to successfully avenge their opponents!”
"JDG definitely played all their cards today, but unfortunately they were still one step behind in the end and TES stole the Baron..."
"Then, the upcoming LPL2022 finals will be a battle between TES and EDG!"
"Let us wait and see the battle between the new king and the old emperor!"
That is on this day.
A package from Shanghai was delivered to Room 0443 of Fandou Garden.
After seeing the name, Ye Ying excitedly opened the package and showed it to Ye Xiong next door: "Here, tickets for my son's game!"
"Hey, why are there still two? That's just right for me to find...what are you doing!?"
Ye Xiong heard the second half of the other party's sentence and grabbed one anxiously: "What are you doing? This must be given to me by the brat."
"Hey, you're not going? Didn't someone say 'I don't know who would watch this thing'?" Ye Ying fanned himself with the ticket and jokingly said.
“………….I didn’t say that.”
