Chapter 130 Portal Trick! Human Testing Site!

When the audience heard the team name, they started screaming again.

Although the Madison Theatre is not too big, the tickets are easily sold out, and the dense space of the small venue is more able to concentrate the volume, and domestic and foreign audiences are also very enthusiastic.

But Jiejie looked a little nervous: "Turtle, is the auditorium so close to the stage!?"

"The key is that these people don't wear masks, and they don't allow us to wear masks," Saint Gun Brother emphasized the point.

Due to mandatory regulations of the competition rules, players are not allowed to wear masks during the game. They are just considerately given the policy that "those who are infected can be isolated and participate in the competition."

For example, during the qualifying stage, FNC had an embarrassing situation where all five players were infected and they simply placed five air gaming chairs on the scene and played the game remotely with the opponent.

However, the bearded host at the scene obviously did not notice the changes in everyone's expressions and loudly called out the opponent for Group A's opening match.

"Next, let us welcome the old dynasty from the European LEC region! G~~Rabbit!"

Only two familiar faces took to the stage.

G12 in S2 went through a major change. After A-P and Ou Cheng retired one after another, the only two veterans who can be recognized by old players at a glance are mid laner Caps and jungler Jankos.

"The first opening match of the S12 group stage is about to begin! Please invite the players from both sides to step onto the stage!"

The European and American commentary stations on site took over the live broadcast.

What caught the eye were G2's two legendary veterans, Perkz and another legendary veteran Rekkles and Ou Cheng, sitting at the commentary desk!
The teams these two were in this year did not make it to the World Championship, and they have been on a bored vacation recently, so they were naturally happy to be the guest commentators for this opening game.

While waiting for debugging, the bearded commentator excitedly started a topic.

"So what do the two G2 legends think of this game?"

When faced with the question of the former boss and the defending champion, the two people's answers were very personal.

The steady Ou Cheng chose to play it safe: "I think it's 50-50. Although EDG is the number one seed, I heard that their mid laner this year is a rookie. As you know, a rookie's first world championship usually doesn't go too smoothly. I believe Caps!"

Ah P on the other side laughed out loud: "You're right, the winning point today is the mid laner!"

"I remember that LPL had a No. 1 seed. Their mid laner was also entering the World Championship for the first time. They were invincible in the region, but as soon as they arrived at the World Championship, they were defeated by LEC and LCS in turn and were directly eliminated in the group stage!"

"What was the name of the mid laner of that team? Sorry, my memory is not very good recently, it's this, this!"

Ah P imitated the action of "drawing the bow and shooting arrow"——and then his entire upper body suddenly made an exaggerated "reverse" turn!
[Oh, the memories that died long ago are attacking me]

[! The victory is not DGL’s]

[Damn, don't say it, it's really a bit similar. If you think about it carefully, the champion may be cursed. After imp won the championship, he went to LGD and he only made it to the top 16. The next year, he bought Ma Rui who had just won the championship, but he didn't even make it to the world championship! ]

[Bullshit, they are not similar at all, okay? Goldv entered the world championship for the first time after several years of debut, and Master Ye entered the world championship in his first year after debut. Are they comparable? ]

[I know watching the live broadcast is fun. These European and American people don’t really think G2 can win, right? Let’s set a small goal, EDG will finish in 20 minutes! ]

The bearded commentator was very satisfied with what the two said: "Great, let's take a look at everyone's pre-match predictions."

The director presents the prediction results of the three commentators, the host and the three in-house analysts side by side in front of the audience.

The uniform black and white team logo!
Seeing this, the bearded commentator asked provocatively: "Didn't you two both say that G2 had a chance? What's going on?"

Europe shrugged innocently.

Ah P lowered his head and looked around the table: "Is this button broken?!"

After a brief pre-match entertainment, the BP scene quickly appeared on the screen.

"EDG was on the blue side in this game and banned Maokai first, while G2 banned Akali!"

"Hey? EDG's coach looks so familiar!"

A P noticed Ming Kai standing behind the EDG player seat.

However, at this time, MingKai seemed to be just standing behind the mid laner's gaming chair, with his head tilted as if looking in the direction of the opponent's keyboard.

The director obviously noticed something was wrong here and cut to a side close-up shot of the EDG player's seat.

Then it became clearly visible that in front of the middle-ranking player's keyboard, there was a notebook with faint handwriting on it.

Looking more closely, Mingkai's lips moved very little.

On the contrary, the young man in the middle unit never stopped talking!

"What does this mean!" Ah P's eyes widened in surprise. "It looks like their mid laner is in the draft? What is Klin'er Lawu doing here? "

"Um, Perkz, our rules stipulate that every team must have a coach present." The bearded commentator on the other side kindly reminded.

"But, let someone who is playing in the world championship for the first time to draft?" Ou Cheng's tone was quite unbelievable.

Even if people abroad have heard of EDG's deeds, the most they hear is that the mid laner seems to be very powerful and good at scientific research, and they have seen some of the operation highlights that have been moved over.

As for the "inside stories" of Easter eggs that can only be known from "interviews" and "microphones", it is naturally unlikely that we will know too much.

Mingkai obviously just came up to take up a position.

And along with the progress of BP.

Ye Bo also discovered that G2’s understanding of the version was completely different from his own.

The first thing is the understanding of the “middle unit”.

In the world championship version, the changes to the mid lane are relatively minimal, and only a few of the most mainstream heroes are weakened.

Among them, the three top players in the summer season are {Tsar}, {Syllas}, and {Ahri}.

The Tsar weakened the damage of W Sand Soldier and the CD of E skill, which made the early combat effectiveness and survival difficulty more difficult.

Ahri's most critical E skill's charm control time was weakened.

At first glance, the weakening of Sylas seems to be the smallest, it just weakens the basic health and weakens the CD and damage of the Q skill.

But you have to know that originally, quite a lot of people would choose to focus on Q in the early stage of Sylas to survive the laning phase - now they are forced to focus on W.

But for Sylas who focuses on W, he must hit E if he wants to hit someone, which undoubtedly raises the skill test for Sylas to a higher level.

And these are just the beginning.

The real biggest impact is: [Stopwatch].

The price of the stopwatch increased from 600 yuan to 750 yuan, and the synthesis route of the equipment became nearly 400 yuan more expensive!
The golden body happens to be one of Silas' core equipment.

All these caused Sylas' win rate in the casual games to plummet!
Based on the recent experience of G2 players in ranked matches, they feel that Sylas is not strong enough, and it can even be said that he is a bit like a "sewer" hero.

"EDG got Sylas! And G2 got the Erlie combination!"

"This G2 BP is so comfortable to watch. I think the button I used to vote was broken!"

"How can we let the opponent get the Ered combination so comfortably just for a version of Sewer Sylas? And the popular policewoman in the play-in round was also banned. This is wrong!"

Ah P expressed his opinions freely on the stage.

But on the other side, Ye Bo understood the opponent's BP thinking when he saw the opponent grab the Erlie combination without any hesitation.

G2's thinking is still the same "framework" from the summer season - that is, a version that caters to the durability and tends to develop a multi-core lineup in the mid-to-late stages.

Of course, this is also the current situation of most teams.

Even if you understand the new version, you will definitely try to modify it on the original framework first.

In this game, EDG is also experimenting with their new understanding of this version.

Each team will have its own interpretation of the version, and a flourishing understanding system will make the game more exciting.

However, the final result will depend on the test on the field.

After all, the strength of the qualifying matches is uneven. Except for the match between the two fourth seeds from the China and South Korea regions, the other games can only be used as a reference, and you even have to be careful not to be led into a ditch.

And as the opening match of the Group Stage.

There is no doubt that this game will be a match that all teams will attach great importance to.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

EDG: Sword Demon, Male Gun, Sylas, Skateboard Shoes, Ice

G2: Ornn, Centaur, Ryze, Aphelios, Renata
"EDG picked a rare lineup. Although they picked the top and jungle which are strong in this version, they picked Sylas and Kalista which were severely weakened in the previous version, and they also picked a support Frost?"

"Anyway, I think G2 has a better lineup, a very complete lineup!"

"Also, Caps' Ryze, as our European veteran, I believe he will leave a deep impression on the newcomers from LPL!"

The live commentary desk once again entered the stage of making jokes and joking around.

Although A-P is not optimistic about the overall victory, he seems to be very confident about his old teammate Hatters.

"Speaking of which, what I am most dissatisfied with is the TOP20 ranking this year. Caps was only ranked 20th! But this newcomer was ranked 12th! Too amateurish!"

"Rekkles, do you think Caps has a chance of getting a solo kill in this game? I'll guess three times!"

After hearing this, Ou Cheng didn't dare to continue the conversation and just turned a blind eye to avoid the topic.

EDG is the No. 1 seed of LPL after all, and it was obvious during the previous voting that there was a gap in strength between the two sides.

Ah P is here today just for the show effect, but Ou Cheng has an idol burden!

Just two days before the start of the competition, the official announced the TOP20 players for this year's global finals, which is also a routine program before the world championship every year.

However, this selection is obviously quite controversial and was called outrageous by the National People’s Congress!

The most controversial one is that Samsung's double C Chaowei and Chidi took the top two places, while EDG, as the defending champion and the number one seed, had five players ranked just barely in the top fifteen.

Although Ye Bo performed outstandingly as a newcomer, he only ranked 12th.

Perhaps because of his performance in the LCK Summer Finals, Faker, the second seed of LCK, was only ranked 19th and almost fell off the list!
As for G2, as the second seed of Europe, the team only has one player, Caps, who barely scrapes to the bottom of the list, looking very lonely.

As a veteran dynasty in Europe, G2 is naturally unwilling to accept this fact even though they know that the team is no longer what it used to be.

So the best way to prove yourself is to successfully qualify in this group of death which is generally recognized as the group of death!
"Oh~!Oh~!Oh~!"

The commentary booth at the scene was filled with the three people's exclamations in their native languages.

"Jankos's men are fleeing in the jungle! Why can't anyone come to rescue them? His jungle has been plundered and driven away by Jiejie's male gun!"

"Caps didn't have a chance to move in the middle lane! This Sylas's laning style is simply a thief! Isn't he afraid of being caught if he keeps trading blood to death!?"

"Also, didn't Skateboards get nerfed in the bottom lane? Why does it feel like we can't win in the bottom lane?"

After G2 got the perfect lineup that everyone expected, the collapse of the game was completely beyond imagination. Of course, the reason is not simply due to the lineup.

The areas most affected by the World Championship version are the jungle and bottom lane.

In the original summer season version, the importance of the bottom lane can be said to be a key that can be seen with the naked eye. In the durability version, everyone thought that the ADC benefited from the version bonus, and the big core C position became the carry core.

However, Ye Bo discovered a connection point between the changes in the top unit ecology in the bubble game and the changes in the bottom lane heroes in the world game version.

Core ADC heroes need at least 2 pieces of equipment to be able to exert their power, and some even need 3 pieces of equipment, which means that they will not have time until at least 20-25 minutes.

What about a lightly armed warrior on the solo lane?

The innate attributes of heroes are there, and they can have excellent combat effectiveness starting from level 6. Most of them even have the ability to fight in a team with just one piece of equipment!

For example, the weapon of Yasuo, Sword Girl's Divine Point; Sword Demon's Eclipse or Tomahawk; Kennen's Push Stick; Crocodile's.
So Ye Bo was thinking.

If lightly armed warriors become the mainstream in the unit, and the top and mid laners form a stable dual output point structure, the jungler will often be half the C position.

Does a team still need to select a core C position in the bottom lane?
If the bottom lane is not required to take on the core C position, what should be the positioning of the bottom lane?
This is Ye Bo’s experiment.

Skateboards' lack of soft support's protection will limit their space for team battles in the mid-to-late game. Their lack of hard support will also weaken their ability to forcefully kill in the laning phase. It can be said that there is no late game at all.

But the seemingly rare and incompatible combination of long arms, Skateboard Shoes + Ice, has the only effect of: "Ultimate Line Authority"!
Yes.

Ye Bo's experiment was to see if he could form another system by changing the early and late-stage emphasis of the lineup and choosing to exchange the late-stage capabilities of the bottom lane for the ultimate line control in the early stage.

The line rights in the bottom lane can not only ensure the invasion and safety of the lower zone.

It is also the key node that can be brought——Little Dragon!
It is the playoff version, and the little dragon seems to have been "ignored" by everyone!

EDG relied on the advantage in the bottom lane, and Graves aggressively invaded Centaur to force the opponent to exchange jungle areas. They attacked the little dragon on time at 5 minutes and continued to attack according to the 5-minute refresh time.

If the opponent wants to join a team fight, the side that chooses the ultimate line control in the early stage and the strong hero in the early fight will undoubtedly take the absolute initiative.

This is why, in Ye Bo’s vision, Silas’ strength will not be affected, and will even be improved!

Because when it comes to early-stage combat capabilities, Sylas is definitely the strongest among all, and it has to be the "combat Sylas" in the current version that is forced to focus on W!
If the opponent does not join the team fight, they will face the threat of the "Dragon Soul Team" in just over 20 minutes.

At 20 minutes, a normally developed ADC usually does not have a two-piece suit, and even if they do, they are far from reaching their peak performance.

But at this point in time.

But it is exactly the time when most lightly-armored warriors are formed, and it is also the peak combat power moment for mid-term heroes like Crocodile!

Replace the combat power and adjust the force points.

The "Battle for Line Rights" in the lower half is the core key of this system!
The lineup chosen by G2 for the opening game was exactly what was defeated by this system.

It’s just a pity that since G2’s laning strength in each lane is quite poor, especially the crucial bottom lane, the effect of the system could not be fully seen.

The game results shown seem more like the gap in strength between the two sides.

Flakked, a new player in the World Championship this year, was used by G2 in the bottom lane. Facing Viper and Meiko who were specialized in laning, he simply couldn't withstand the pressure.

The Erlie combination is only average in laning phase, and their strength lies mainly in their tolerance in the mid-to-late game and the upper limit of team battles due to their double ultimates.

But Skateboards and auxiliary Ice are both pure line-hitting monsters!
With the team at a disadvantage, being driven out of the jungle, and being closely watched in the middle lane with no way to break free, it was almost natural for them to be crossed!

"This time EDG might be trying to forcefully attack the bottom lane!"

"We must hold on! If we are bypassed this time, we will probably lose the first blood tower and the second dragon, and G2's rhythm will be completely controlled by the opponent!"

"Centaur has come to the back of the bottom lane to wait, and the mid laners of both teams are on the way. Sylas stole Ryze's ultimate and they may come together!"

G2's bottom lane was in danger, and this group of people would rather lose half of the jungle and risk their lives to come and wait.

The mid laners of both teams set off almost at the same time!

"YE seems to be trying to find Caps! Caps, be careful!"

Ryze saw Sylas' position based on the defensive eye at the entrance of the river in his own blue zone.

But it was obvious that the EDG team heard the command at this time.

They knew that Sylas would stop Ryze and had already started to take action!
If Ryze was afraid of being interrupted when returning to the city and chose to walk to take a detour through the outer wall of the Frog, by the time he got there, the bodies of the three people in the bottom lane on his side would have been dead!
Caps is an extremely experienced veteran player. Although his skills have declined significantly in recent years, his combat experience is absolutely rich.

The range of [Warp] is 3000 yards. Ryze, who is at the blue buff, can fly to a place not far behind the first tower.

Ryze decisively cast a magic circle under his feet and forced his way to the battlefield!
At the same time, Ryze did not retreat, but instead took the initiative to walk towards Sylas - because retreating would not allow him to get away from the zigzag formation, and he might still be interrupted by Sylas' flash.

Ryze's EW control is as long as 615 yards, which is enough to control the opponent before Sylas gets close, and then turn around and sit in the door!

Of course Caps also knows that Sylas's second E is 800 yards, but if Sylas wants to use the second E with the maximum distance, even if Caps is old and blurry, he can easily twist it away!

And if Sylas flashes E2 and forces Caps to interrupt, I don’t believe the opponent would be so crazy!

Because there is obviously no reason for Sylas to kill Ryze alone here. Simply flashing to interrupt will definitely result in a huge loss, and he doesn't have the ability to keep the opponent afterwards!

At that time, Ryze can directly control the opponent and use {Phase Rush} to accelerate, then turn around and rush to the tower.

Caps has a nice idea.

But at this time, Ye Bo made a move that seemed very abnormal.

Silas was seen casting the [Zigzag] magic circle at the same spot.

He wants to have a threesome with Ryze! ?
However, if the two of them arrived together, even if EDG had the health advantage, fighting 4v4 under the tower with the presence of Rena Tower, the outcome would be unpredictable.

However, Silas did not stop and continued to move forward.

[Sneak] Dash forward and immediately get into Ryze's attack range!
Ryze raised his hand and threw out [Spell Surge], ready to open the magic book!
But at the moment when the distance between the two sides was shortened to 500 yards, Silas threw out a strong chain forward, and the moment the chain hit - he dodged behind him!

《Reverse interruption of E flash!》

The kidnapping chain flew forward and hit Ryze, but Sylas's body suddenly fell back!
{If Sylas's E2 hits, you can't use Flash. If you use Flash before hitting, it may cause E2 to fail, or Sylas will still be pulled closer to the ground when he lands.}
Therefore, you must use Flash in the gap one second before E hits.

Only in this way can you hit E2 and interrupt its displacement!
And the most important thing is, when [Zodiac Warp] is hit by the enemy's {hard control}, the casting of 'guidance' will be canceled immediately.

The magic circle under Ryze's feet suddenly disappeared.
But Silas, who turned around and flashed back, just stepped into his own magic circle!
"what the ~~~~omg!"

"Caps was interrupted! But YE flew over! He was coming but he didn't come!"

“It’s like a magic trick!”

“Very spicy!!!”

The three G2 players who were shivering under the tower saw the portal behind them and were still looking forward to being rescued by their teammates.

But the one waiting was only Silas!

3 over 3, G2 with a very bad duo is extremely dangerous.
Not to mention that the most powerful mid laner failed to arrive, but the opponent's mid laner arrived and it became 4 vs 3!

Although Sylas no longer has ER, the three layers of passive accumulated upon landing, plus the damage of his main W, did not affect him too much.

The perfect switch of defense was in place, and three G2 players died under the tower!

The European and American commentary stations at the scene were howling like ghosts.

However, as they were not familiar enough with EDG games, they had not yet discovered what the truly terrifying thing was—Sylas got three kills!

When you return to the line again.

Caps originally thought that Sylas, who had no flash, no ultimate, and was carrying the Big Bounty, should be more stable this time.

But he still didn't understand the other person well enough.

Because in Ye Bo's damage calculation, Ryze has already entered the killing line!
Due to the influence of the mythical version, currently no Ryze will purchase the Staff of Time as a {Legendary Equipment}.

That would cause Ryze to have to wait for the three-piece set of Mythic + Archangel + Staff of Time to take effect, and the formation period would be ridiculously slow.

Therefore, at this point in time, Ryze's physique is not much different from that of an ordinary mage.

Sylas pushed the line to the front of the tower and used the "E outside the Tower" technique again. E hit Ryze into the tower. He landed with no aggro, but successfully tricked Ryze into using the critical EW control!

Then use the extra 20% skill haste gained from the equipment advantage, plus the CD difference for a period of E1 limit time.

Sylas switched to the E skill 2 seconds in advance and entered the tower to attack again!

The defenseless Caps was hit close to the face and was hit with a set of chain punches!

In the battle against Scout, Sylas was able to almost kill Zoe with full health even without any equipment, let alone the three kills at this moment!

"Caps~~~!"

"A solo kill over the tower! Oh my god, what is he doing!"

A-P, who was praising Caps before the game, finally showed his true colors and became the loudest person in the audience.

[Have all the new mid laners in the East evolved to this level? I remember that the local mid laners in their region in the past few years were very average! ? ]

[Caps is the only French king left in Europe, how come he is like a sandbag in front of YE! ]

【DOCTOR YE! DOCTOR YE! DOCTOR YE! 】

[I heard that YE is the LPL's solo kill king. There is no LPL midlaner who has not been solo killed by him. Now even Europe has become his colony————Luckily, our North American midlaners will not be solo killed by him, so it proves that NA＞EU!!!]

[? The only reason why NA won't be killed by a single player is because no one from NA is in Group A during the group stage, and NA will never make it to the quarterfinals! ]

【As a tourist from LPL, I can only say that Bunny is too stubborn. I never expected that he would dare to let Sylas go! 】

When the game had been going on for 15 minutes, the score had reached 13-0, with almost all three lanes winning.

The atmosphere in the entire venue has changed from being noisy to being clearly divided.

Many European audiences were holding their heads.

Although they also knew that their team had a lower winning rate, no one had expected to be beaten like this before the game, with absolutely no ability to fight back!
G2 was completely led by the nose, as if they could not find any opportunity to counterattack, and felt as if their whole body was restrained.

The entire game almost became EDG’s slaughterhouse!

Of course, for EDG, it is more like a "human experiment field."

At 21 minutes and 58 seconds, EDG took the dragon soul + dragon BUFF and pushed down the opponent's base in one wave.

The final score was 17-2.

Put a bloody end to this opening battle!

The moment the base crystal exploded, the entire North American scene was in an uproar!
