Chapter 198 "MSI see!" Li Xianghe's discovery [asking for monthly votes]
Chapter 198 "MSI see!" Li Xianghe's discovery [asking for monthly votes]
Just as the LPL Spring Split is in full swing, the LCK Spring Split has also reignited.
The year 2023 is called the "Battleship" year by netizens for the two major competition regions.
It's not just LPL that has many galaxy battleships.
LCK netizens are also echoing a very familiar voice: "The most hopeful year!"
In the two opening matches on the opening day, warships took off and fell.
The first day was the much-anticipated “GEN vs T1”.
GEN, which was thought to be doomed after Chidi left the team, seemed to have a magical chemical reaction after introducing Viper and keeping Lianzi!
Four of the five Griffin players who also played in the Internet cafe competition are now in this GEN team. They almost didn't need to adjust to each other and regained their previous tacit understanding. The team integration speed is super fast.
The jungler is Peanut, the king of civil war who is also known as "Mr. Korean Ming"!
The opening match was easily won 2-0.
In addition to indicating that T1 seems to have not yet gotten over the shadow of being eliminated in the semi-finals last year, it also seems to be foreshadowing that this LCK dominant team will dominate again this year.
At the same time, HLE Hanwha also demonstrated extraordinary strength.
After failing to get Viper, they turned around and offered a historic contract to sign Han Hua from Canyon. Together with last year's DRX top and mid duo, they formed an extremely "offensive" top, mid and jungle combination!
In Hanwha’s first match, they faced KT, a veteran powerhouse with BDD and Cuzz, but it was like they were really playing against a “machine”!
The two games combined for 39 minutes.
One of the games was so outrageous that they were leading by 13 economy in 1 minutes and pushed down the crystal at 17:50!
Although there was an outrageous record of 1557 in ancient times.
But you have to know that the version at that time is very different from the current one, whether it is the hero durability or the game rhythm, there is a big difference, and it is impossible to compare them horizontally.
Everyone thought that V5's two 40-minute games against WBG were already exaggerated.
I didn’t expect there was a cake maker!
Of course, KT's strength on paper is definitely not comparable to WBG's.
However, this still indirectly shows that after introducing Canyon, Hanwha, combined with Zeka and Kingen, who already emphasize "laning" and "early stage attack", also produces a wonderful chemical reaction.
I can only say that this year's LCK has really put in a lot of effort, and its combat power on paper alone is in no way inferior to that of the LPL.
"Can the anchor give us some comments on today's LCK?"
"It's hard to comment on this. The season has just started, it's still early."
While waiting in line for the live broadcast, Ye Bo was interacting with the comments: "But if we talk about the recent events, the competition pressure at MSI is really high. Samsung, T1 and Hanwha, it's really hard to say who will go among these three teams."
The comments immediately started to make groundless jokes.
[I see. The anchor is hinting that the competition in LPL is not that great.]
【有一说一确实啊，V53:0WBG，WBG3:2BLG，BLG2:1EDGLPL这边感觉有竞争压力也就一个JDG吧？】
[What is the β ratio, oh I = human, Master Ye = human, Master Ye > RK, so I > RK? ]
[Oh no, why do you all look down on me, Top Esports? Isn’t a 2-0 victory enough to prove something? Please tell me! ]
[I'm really not familiar with the top 16~~]
[Still in the top 16, this year TES has almost completely changed the team! With such a luxurious lineup, you haters, just wait for me, Top Esports, to create new history this year! ]
[Report! It looks like Feifei is on the other side! ]
Ye Bo has become accustomed to his own live broadcast room, where any topic can inexplicably turn to other players.
When I entered the game, I found that I was assigned to the top lane, so I asked the mid lane player to switch positions.
Since the {summoner ID} display has been turned off on all servers, various wild monster names such as "Magic Frog" and "Shadow Wolf" are displayed in the chat box, which makes it impossible for the other party to see that it is Ye Bo's ID.
Ye Bo certainly wouldn't force it, and would type "wo shi YE" in the chat box.
The main thing is that it’s useless to say it!
Because even he himself often saw people typing things like "I'm YE, give me a seat" in various languages when asking for a seat.
Every time Ye Bo saw these words in the chat box, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
You are YE, who am I?
Moreover, this method really worked every time at the beginning.
But later, more and more people were deceived, so now the high-ranking players in the Korean server have a bit of PTSD. No one will believe it at all. After so many times, they are even too lazy to search whether Ye Bo is live streaming.
But surprisingly.
The mid player only paused for a short while and then quickly typed "OK".
As soon as the barrage appeared, a messenger sent a telegram.
【This person is Xiaohu! 】
[It’s wise to cancel your account. You know you can earn points and sell it now! ]
[All wrong, because someone in his live broadcast room also tipped off that the opponent's mid laner was Feifei, so run away quickly! ]
Ye Bo typed the abbreviation for thanks.
Then, without even looking at what hero the opponent was, he chose the Dragon King.
The Dragon King’s reworked version is only a few days away from being released, so Ye Bo often plays this hero in ranked matches during this period—not to gain proficiency, but simply for fun.
Maybe people are just like this, they don’t know the good of something until they lose it!
The old Sword Demon was like this before. It was unpopular for several years, but the last version before the rework suddenly became popular, and then the gameplay was remembered.
Enter the loading interface.
Only then did Ye Bo realize that this was indeed an All-Star game.
“A lot of acquaintances.”
"But why do I always feel like Brother Shuizi is always there in this kind of situation?"
The opponent’s top laner is Dahuang, the jungler is Xiaotian, the mid laner is Faker, and the bottom lane is JKL and Meiko.
Except for the support Meiko, who is an old teammate of EDG, the top, jungle and bottom three players are all TES players.
However, the top laner Dahuang is now a substitute whose job was taken away by Breath. He stays on the bench all day long and COSes "Barrel and Barrel" with Qingtian. It is said that he has no chance to appear on the stage for the time being.
Ye Bo also has an all-star lineup!
The bottom lane is JDG’s Chidi, and the top lane is TES’ Xiaohu.
The jungler is Beichuan, the substitute of the team.
Before entering the game, the TES players, who were no more than ten meters apart, started teasing each other.
"Da Huang! Beat Brother Hu! You'll be promoted to a regular player tomorrow!" Jack Ai turned around and shouted towards the water dispenser at the back.
"You guys are 15 points, I won this game just by messing around~" Xiaohu said with his signature duck voice, "Our Ip Man and Ruler Emperor, this pair of Cs can't lose."
"What do you mean? Saying I'm not as good as Chidi is fine. Are you implying that Feifei is not as good as Master Ye?"
Jack Ai is worthy of being a broadcaster. He doesn't need the audience to lead the pace, the broadcaster can do it himself.
Xiaotian beside him was quite happy: "Don't worry, Teacher Fei and I will definitely go to play this game without thinking, wait for me to C you."
Xiaotian originally felt that being in TES was very stressful.
After all, this team is like a powder keg, it could explode at any time if you are not careful.
It's really strange.
Obviously in terms of traffic, the TES team should be below the "full god class", but they also lost the game, and the rhythm was more than a little faster many times.
Fortunately, after Xiaohu came, Xiaotian still felt quite comfortable.
Recently, a faint cheerful personality has even appeared.
"Oh, Mr. Fei, this hero, Ye Wen is so familiar to me," Xiaohu said to Tian Hui beside him.
"Why don't you just catch more and practice first."
Ye Bo was also interacting with Meiko on the public screen. They were standing near the river in the middle lane, showing each other emoticon dog tags.
But at this moment——a big snowball rolled from a distance!
"Damn it! A sneak attack!"
Ye Bo had quick eyes and hands. He instantly clicked the Q skill to roll the star core forward, trying to interrupt the rolling snowball while dodging at the same time.
But Faker obviously knows the Snowman very well. Facing the incoming Star Core, he not only does not dodge, but also actively adjusts his position, taking a step in the direction of the Dragon King's movement - and then actively pushes the ball!
Once Nunu is controlled, the snowball will slip out of his hands immediately and uncontrollably.
However, the early release of the snowball due to the adjustment of direction prevented the Dragon King from adjusting his movement range in time. As the star core hit him, he was knocked high into the air by the snowball.
Meiko Titan behind him decisively flashed and hooked, and Ye Bo had no choice but to follow suit and flash.
{Casting Star Dragon King}: bu jiang wu de shi ba!
When returning to the city, Ye Bo interacted on the public screen with Meiko who was obviously trying to deceive him in front of him.
{Deep Sea Titan}: JKL's account is 0.0
{Glory Executioner}: ? ?
In fact, it was Li Xianghe who ordered it.
Li Xianghe couldn't understand the interaction between the two parties on the public screen, but he was very familiar with these IDs.
Especially the id on the opposing mid lane.
And he, who had successfully designed this, couldn't even hold back his smile in his live broadcast room.
When professional players play ranked games, they focus more on maintaining their feel and practicing heroes, and they don't pay as much attention to ranking points as normal players.
So it will be relatively more "entertaining".
Speaking of which, the mid laner Nunu was not played until he was defeated by EDG in the group stage last year.
Long-time fans of Lee Sang-hyeok know that this hero is one that he has always loved playing in ranked matches, and he has even been banned in matches.
However, he doesn't have much experience in fighting the Dragon King, two super unpopular duels.
The lines of troops clash.
Ye Bo entered the laning state seriously.
In comparison, Ye Bo obviously knows Nunu better.
As shown in last year's group stage, the main reason why the mid-lane Nunu playstyle is feasible is that you start pushing a big snowball from the back at level 1, and then clear all the soldiers into the tower with one snowball.
This style of play is almost unsolvable for most heroes. It is impossible to resist the ball physically, and it is also difficult to find an opportunity to interrupt remotely.
But, the old version of Dragon King is really good!
Ye Bo stood directly in front of the opponent's tower, ready to interrupt it with a long-range star core and prevent it from getting close to the line of troops.
In the previous level one team fight, the Dragon King was blocked by the snowballs only because the entrance to the jungle area was too narrow and he had no space to move.
But the wide line of soldiers in the middle lane is definitely not that easy to hit.
If Nunu is unable to use snowballs to quickly clear the lane, due to his short arms, he will just be beaten and imprisoned in the middle lane!
However, Li Xianghe had a little trick up his sleeve!
"Pinched?"
Ye Bo looked at the empty tower in front of the opponent in confusion, thinking that even if he turned around twice to collect balls, it should be able to come out.
At this moment——a huge snowball was pushed out from the river on the left!
Obviously, Li Xianghe guessed that the opponent would intercept in front of the first tower.
So I deliberately took the opposite approach and went around from my own jungle to the river before starting to push the ball!
And because Ye Bo was standing in the front position, although he still used the Star Core to interrupt in the first time, Nunu, who arrived at the river mouth and moved at an extremely fast speed, still got rid of the snowball in advance!
And there is another detail in this wave.
Under normal circumstances, if Nunu wants to use W to clear all ranged minions at level 1, the damage of W at the longest distance is not enough.
Nunu must dribble the ball physically, first "crush" the minions at close range, then release the snowball and deal two stages of W damage.
This technique is what Ye Bo used on the court.
Therefore, even if Nunu successfully bypasses the position and gets close to the minion line, as long as the Dragon King stuns the opponent and prevents him from "dribbling" to the minion pile himself, he will still not be able to grab the minion line at that level.
But Li Xianghe chose to get rid of it early!
To be precise, it is to get rid of it in advance within the range of "Land and Water" coming out of the middle river, so that Snowball can get the AP bonus of "Walking on Water".
It just makes up for the missing line-clearing damage, and kills the soldiers with one shot from a long distance!
Ye Bo praised in his heart.
He could feel that Lee Sang-hyuk's performance this year did not "regress" as currently rumored by the outside world.
On the contrary, I feel like I'm still making progress.
But obviously, this little design will only be used once at most.
To be fair, the current mid-lane Old Dragon King is actually somewhat counter to the mid-lane Snowman, both in terms of gameplay and characteristics.
After all, as an early-stage hero who is also an "extreme roaming" hero, the Dragon King's pushing and supporting efficiency is no slower than Nunu's - at the same time, he can also counter the opponent's snowball energy!
With this little design, the snowman took the initiative in the first and second level military lines.
But when it reached level three, it immediately returned to its original state.
Ye Bo eliminated one direction option by placing a ward in the river, and successfully bet on the direction in which Nunu would push the snowball. He used the long-range Star Core Q to interrupt Nunu's charged snowball, preventing it from reaching the minion pile!
Not only that, the Dragon King deliberately pushed the line slowly, causing Nunu to have to come up and use basic attacks to push if he wanted to make the last kill.
Then I was pulled and moved by the Dragon King's infinite W!
"This tug." Li Xianghe muttered, and the translator in the live broadcast room relayed it.
Fortunately, at this time, Xiaotian the Blind Man had the intention to kill and gave a signal to the middle lane.
Li Xianghe immediately understood and realized an opportunity. He quickly marked the ward position on the map, indicating that the Dragon King had just placed a ward there to detect the movement of the Snowman's push.
Once the position of the eye is known, it is equivalent to passively creating a blind spot in the field of vision!
Ye Bo saw Nunu retreat and push the ball out again. He was about to interrupt in the same way. However, he was alert to find that the direction of Nunu's snowball was wrong.
This snowball doesn't seem to be heading towards the line of troops.
But in your own direction!
But Ye Bo, who discovered the other party's intention, did not seem to be too panicked, and even had the mind to interact with the audience in front of the screen.
"Sure enough, someone is here. This wave is crucial. Pay attention to the host's operation!"
The Dragon King seemed to have no intention of dodging. He just leaned sideways and walked towards the wall of the lower river.
Sure enough, the blind man appeared behind him and chased him.
As long as this snowball hits, the Dragon King who fails to dodge will be fired upon by the two and will surely die.
However, just as the snowball was about to hit, the Dragon King, who had walked to the edge of the river wall, suddenly stopped and walked back, sticking close to the "corner" of the wall!
This is a way to counter Nunu's Snowball.
The bigger Nunu's snowball is, the larger the collision volume will be. Once it passes through a "wall corner" or other positions, it will be extremely easy to explode the snowball!
That snowball.
It looked like it just brushed past the Dragon King's tail!
Fortunately, there is a blind man at the back.
Xiaotian made a prompt decision, used W to touch the soldier and flew over and used Q, aiming at the Dragon King who seemed to be stuck in the corner!
But the Dragon King just kept turning his head and moving.
A strange thing happened. The echo attack clearly hit the Dragon King's body.
But he continued to "pass through"!
"Ah?" Xiaotian in front of the camera was full of confusion.
But a Zhao Xin has already walked out from behind!
It was Beichuan who received the command from the big brother in the team, finished the three-pointer quickly on one side, and then squatted back.
And the Dragon King’s subsequent actions seemed even stranger.
The Dragon King, who was about to counterattack, suddenly "crashed" into the wall when he activated W. The end of the E was accompanied by a very fast-rotating star trail - and Nunu's health bar seemed to drop unreasonably in an instant!
Li Xianghe immediately sensed the danger and approached the upper wall, ready to flash over it.
However, a star core flew out to the wall half a step ahead of time, stunning Nunu who had just landed.
Zhao Xin in the back was extremely decisive. He flashed W with a cold light and used E from a super long distance to cross the wall and chase forward!
He stabbed Nunu wildly and finally killed him in front of the tower!
"Nice Yachuan!" Ye Bo shouted in the training room without even turning his head.
"Master Ye, you are so strong! You can twist like this! It's so hot!" The answer with the highest emotional value immediately responded.
The live broadcast room was instantly filled with comments like 666666 and ??? ???.
[This substitute jungler is pretty good, and he cooperates well with Master Ye. Do you think he has a chance to play? ]
[Brother Xun, stop testing me]
[Xiao Xunzi really has a sense of crisis, it seems like there is someone who wants to improve more]
[Isn't it what Xiao Tian is playing this time? He can also miss the Q. I feel that tomorrow's TES will really have it. Even with Feifei, they can't beat it~~~]
[Can this be blamed on the jungler? He could only identify it as a tadpole at a glance. Nunu's snowball was so close to the opponent that it missed, and he turned around and ran away to betray his teammates. Isn't this all his fault? ]
Ye Bo didn't have time to read the comments.
But he was also explaining himself while clearing the line.
"This is a technique to deal with Nunu. Try to trick the opponent's snowball as much as possible while standing close to the corner. This way, Nunu's snowball will be hard to hit."
"As for the one behind."
"It's actually the model of the Dragon King. The second half is 'fake', virtual. This means that when we face non-directional skills, we can deliberately turn the 'tail' towards the enemy."
This wave actually involves a lot of details.
Ye Bo patiently explained to the audience in the live broadcast room. This is his daily live broadcast routine.
To be honest, the mechanism of the Dragon King's model is definitely very obscure knowledge compared to the current unpopularity of this hero.
To sum it up simply - "Although the model of the Old Dragon King looks very large because of the 'protective planet', his real model is actually not much bigger than Teemo's"!
Because the illusory tails below the waist are all "fake models".
As for why Nunu’s health suddenly dropped.
That inexplicable instantaneous outburst was the linkage technique of one of the old Dragon King's skills.
The principle is that there will be damage during the process of collecting and releasing the Dragon King Planet.
Using E will retract the protective planet, and it will quickly recover when landing. Therefore, by canceling E in advance by hitting the wall, you can use W at the moment of retracting and releasing the planet. This will be superimposed with the acceleration of W, causing the speed of the blooming protective planet to instantly increase by 2-3 times!
This means that in that one second, Nunu was surrounded by five or six planets and hit in the face at close range, causing considerable burst damage!
Of course, the E skill cannot be used in combat.
Therefore, you must first avoid the sound wave with the shadow in front and get the snowball in the corner before you can use this operation.
Ye Bo explained for a long time without stopping, and the audience in the live broadcast room felt a little dizzy.
The main reason is that this hero is going to be reworked soon.
For a hero that is about to be reworked, most people don’t care that much about these small operations.
Ye Bo also didn't know whether these old version operations and skills would be retained when the new Dragon King was launched.
But he simply likes to study.
Nunu, who was killed once, was also forced to use flash. The laning phase officially entered a painful period and he began to be tortured infinitely by the Dragon King.
With the shoes and speed-up of the Dragon King, it will be more difficult for Nunu to find opportunities to push the ball first, and it will be difficult for Blind Monk to cooperate in ganking, not to mention that his own jungle is also being counterattacked by Xin Zhao and the Dragon King.
Da Huang, who was in the top lane, was also taught a lesson by the big brother Top Hu in the team.
The good news is that the opponent's bottom lane has a big advantage in this game.
JKL and Meiko seem to have a good understanding of each other. Both of them like to play in the laning phase, so they naturally have a considerable advantage in the laning phase.
Of course, it is also possible that the support on our side is a stranger, and the cooperation with Chidi cannot bring out their full strength.
Although the Dragon King successfully flew to the bottom lane several times, Nunu also launched several waves of attacks on the bottom lane without caring about his life and successfully helped the bottom lane.
Draven has become the big brother and hope of the red team!
Then?
Then there is no more.
Draven died suddenly due to strange positions in two consecutive team fights. He was killed instantly in the fight. His only advantage was his weakness, which directly led to the game going badly!
Lee Sang Hyuk's Nunu was also beaten throughout the game, being chased all over the map by the Dragon King, and the way he ran while pushing a snowball was very funny.
Finally, I found an opportunity.
When the troops were pushed to their own high ground, Li Xianghe made an unreasonable scan and sneaked into the wild area, crouched down to the Dragon King who was leading the line, and released a wave of "Atomic Bomb in the Grass"!
There was originally a chance for a solo kill in this wave. After all, this is Nunu's most distinctive operation. If it is successfully implemented, the health of both sides will be reversed in an instant.
The Dragon King instantly flashed to the explosive fruit behind and tried to pull away.
But Nunu also immediately flashed to the explosive fruit, combining Phase Rush and E skill to slow down - the two of them completely overlapped!
Can.
At the moment when the Dragon King A attacked, his body suddenly "rolled" on the spot.
They are clearly two overlapping people.
But only Nunu was bounced away by the fruit while the Dragon King remained where he was!
Nunu was instantly left behind, and then was caught by a star core from a breath of dragon, and the rolling protective planet smashed into his face madly.
Once again, he was killed alone!
20 minutes.
Lee Sang-hyeok's Nunu ended the game with a record of 0-7-7.
The audiences in each live broadcast room were making jokes.
The second-way slices were also being produced at an accelerated pace while the game was ongoing, just waiting to get a taste of the hot traffic.
"Okay guys, it's time to get off work. We still have a game tomorrow!"
"That move just now was actually Dragon King's «Tumble E». You can use the E take-off action to create a {Control Offset} effect~"
"You can also go watch our jungler, he is the Rank King and broadcasts live every day"
Before ending the broadcast, Ye Bo did not forget to explain the principle of the mechanism just now.
At the same time, it also brought a wave of momentum to the jungler of his own team who had not had a chance to appear on the field for the time being.
Beichuan at the back was so moved that he almost burst into tears. It was obvious that this was enormous wealth. Maybe the income from live streaming could be higher than his salary!
And the other side.
Li Xianghe continued to rank, looking like he was thinking about something.
Compared to the audience.
He also noticed something.
Some small details that seemed insignificant but surprised him a little.
For example, he noticed that the Dragon King had a terrifying 19 last hits when he was pushing the base at 201 minutes!
Even in a normal game, this is an absolutely terrifying last-hit.
What's more, you should know that this version of Dragon King does not focus on last hitting. He is the type of hero who plays a mindless roaming style. Many times it is normal that he does not get more than 20 last hits in minutes!
Not to mention that this was a crazy gank throughout the game, with the Dragon King constantly suppressing him in the laning phase!
It's normal to pressure others, it's normal to roam, and it's normal to last hit.
But if these are gathered together at the same time.
That's very abnormal!
Thinking back to the details of the game just now, Li Xianghe was slightly shocked.
"His fighting style seems to have changed?"
“He’s improved again.”
At this time, a message prompt came in the friend chat box.
It is Chinese kung fu
{Fight! MSI see!}
Li Xianghe looked at the dialog box and was stunned for a moment.
Then he also typed in the dialog box: {MSI See}.
Frankly speaking, this is a major reform of the international competition second only to the S League. Although the number of MSI places has been increased to two this year, Lee Sang-hyuk can clearly feel that the pressure in this year's competition area is very high.
Especially after today's big defeat in the opening game.
But when I think of the opponent who I failed to complete the BO5 revenge opportunity last year.
He also seemed to become more eager for that spot.
Off the live broadcast.
Ye Bo ended the simple interaction and closed the client.
I packed up my things and went back to my room, ready to start today's real training.
And lay down on the bed and looked at the time.
There are five minutes left until 12 o'clock.
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to stay in the pot for long, Ye Bo simply took out his mobile phone and watched a five-minute short video for entertainment.
Just opened the software.
An extremely hot slice was pushed out.
《It's explosive! YE beat Faker in the Korean server and killed him three times 0-7! T1's future in S13 is worrying, JKL said: Change to a substitute!》
“Oh my god, what a catchy headline!”
There are several big traffic names gathered here.
This game slice was posted less than ten minutes ago, but it already has nearly a thousand comments. The popularity is outrageous!
The comment section below is even more lively.
[Lao Fei is really not good enough. Originally there was only one GEN, and now there is another Hanhua. I feel that this year, let alone the top four of the S game, it will be difficult to enter the MSI~]
[No! I'm just messing with you guys by playing ranked games!!]
[Playing ranked games? I think I can win the group stage! ]
[It’s hard to say. This year’s V5 is not last year’s EDG after all. But I feel relieved with Ye. I can only believe it first! ]
[Xiaohu may become the biggest winner tonight. If TES loses the game tomorrow, they will have an excuse: "Look, Feifei can't lead you guys in the middle. It has nothing to do with me!"]
[Hajihu, you surrendered to the enemy without even fighting?]
[Oh no, am I the only one who feels that there is something wrong with TES's lineup? I feel like something big is going to happen sooner or later.]
